I know exactly what you mean about the pedo-ring stuff sounding crazy. But there is a very visible thread between the far left and pedophilia (see Andy Ngo's reporting on Antifa and pedophiles), and Twitter and child porn (though now Elon says he's cleaning it up) and the normalisation of child sex in school curricula. It's very, very unsettling.
Um, what?? I knew it!! My Dachshund Max is definitely of a superior quality and I’m delighted to hear that rubbed off on us! (Not sure about the intelligence tho tbh!). They are the greatest breed. 😍
Yeah, I'm aware of two of those three sources, but there have been more. It just seems too outlandish, but like I said, th dots keep showing up.
Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for providing content to Substack. I truly hope it's the beginning of the new fourth estate as the collapse of the original has put this country in a world of shit. You and the rest of the contributors (even assholes like Robert Reich) are serving a noble purpose, and may be the closest we've had to a rebirth of the founding fathers since, well, the founding fathers.
And I don't feel guilty at all for using ';father' which may not be gender appropriate, as I'm 66 YO and have earned the right to use the lexicon that I've utilized all of these years.
Ha. Totally agree. I'm 69 and refuse to have my language proscribed to me. I'm not a confrontational sort of person - and I have gay friends. But I love the guy I occasionally see driving around town here with a bumper sticker that says, "My personal pronouns are F**K/YOU".
Welcome. It might seem lonely but it’s not. You’ll find that Project Veritas speaks more truth than any MSN. And as crazy as it is to say, and I hell don’t agree with everything he says, there’s a reason people joke that there’s an Alex Jones was right jar.
Thank you for the Thanksgiving wishes, and thank you for nourishing my brain as well. Coming from someone who grew up in a Leave it to Beaver family, except with girls and a live in grandmother, I really dislike being told families such as mine are somehow detrimental to children. I fail to see how being raised by randomly assigned individuals in a commune where I would be fair game for any predator would have produced better results than my family. There are toxic families (ever read If You Tell?), but these are not the norm, as pretty much any social services worker will tell you. In fact, the most messed up and dysfunctional families tend to be those without the traditional structure.
Yes, the notion that just about anybody from outside the nuclear family is better for children than the family is insane. Some 22-year-old with blue hair and nose rings, parroting lines heard from a favorite leftist college teacher, is not possessed with infinite wisdom for dealing with the kids in her classroom because she has jumped through some hoops and been certified, and the smug dismissal of parental wisdom by today's left is profoundly dangerous.
Adult women need to reclaim their power, we have ceded too much ground to deranged adolescents, chasing after their ridiculous notions. So much damage has been done.
Yes, and the adolescents are not always in the age group that would normally be associated with that term. I have known people in their 70s who are more adolescent than some teens I have known.
I also forgot to mention, I grew up in a family of teachers. If I had a dollar for every time I heard, "You know, I'm not their parents," spoken by parents, sibling, nieces about their students, I'd be able to buy and sell that blowhard Randy Weingarten.
It might not be the goal of "the left" to demolish children by sexualizing them (and by extension ripening them for total sublimation into the machinery of authoritarian technocracy), but it's also reasonable to ask: if that IS their goal, would they be doing anything differently?
In the first quote, as soon as I saw "qua" I knew we were dealing with a smug, pretentious fool who signals to her in-group through the use of aca-babble. In spite of all the attendant problems, being raised by my mother and father, alongside my brother, was the best thing about my childhood and youth. I wouldn't have it any other way. Being brought up in some woke village of angry, orange-haired women with graduate degrees in grievance studies sounds like the worst kind of nightmare. "Utopia" has never succeeded.
I'm glad to see that the mainstream left is starting to give side-eye to all these issues. I left about ten years ago, and it's much worse than the mainstream even imagines. I'm not trying to be faux-superior; but it seems to be a continuum. We start at A, and need to go through lots of letters to get to the point where we say, "Wow, I was in a fantasy." Run – don't walk – away from the left.
"what crusading academic James Lindsay warns is the true agenda of the hard left: to get sexual access to kids. "
James Lindsay -- and pretty much everyone else in the tiny but growing group of "anti-woke" Leftists -- avoids the dreaded C word to explain the various Leftist Narratives that beset the West in our time. The C word being "Conspiracy". Lindsay maybe because he's devoted his time to more detailed and philosophical analysis goes further, coming closer to it asymptomatically while simultaneously keeping it at bay. One could call what he's doing a theory of "organic conspiracy" which at face value is an oxymoron if not a paradox, with a flavor of having-his-cake -- indulging deeply in rhetorical analysis that would placate the garden-variety conspiracy theorist, but which at the end of the day actually undermines the notion of any conspiracy and ends up begging the question, "Why is this organic process occurring?" Not to mention, Why is it occurring with such systemic coordination -- sort of the political science equivalent of the atheist/theist debate about Evolution & Abiogenesis, where post-modern atheist materialist science generates extraordinary complexity of theory all in order to try to argue that the amazing sustained order & complexity of life down to DNA just happened randomly out of inanimate matter.
Lindsay has a bad habit of avoiding being forthcoming about problematic aspects of his past. During one long interview, for example, while articulately deconstructing and warning about cultural Marxists, at one fleeting moment lasting 7.5 seconds he parenthetically divulges that he voted for Obama -- not once but TWICE -- then breezes past that to continue his main narrative. Someone may as well have said in an interview "Oh by the way, I was an ardent supporter of Adolf Hitler for 8 years, what a dope I was! -- now about that other topic I was talking about..." Um, hang on a sec there, Jimmy boy, I think we should back up for a moment, push Pause on your current topic, and address that startling thing you just said in more detail...
I have to admit, I thought all of the 'pedo elite' stuff was 'Q' bullshit, but it does seem to keep popping up.
I still doubt the legitimacy of it, but it's on my radar now.
Also, great line 'does this sound like a gulag, but with group sex?'
Thank you! 🤣

Also, do you have a dachshund? We have two brothers that are standard shorthair, brown/gold.
Studies have shown that dachshund owners are of higher character and intelligence than the norm. There's graphs to support that and everything.

Well, I refuse to put a bumper sticker on my car, but I'd wear the t-shirt, and I assume there;s one available.
Thanks
Speaking of sexualizing children, can we just also include the whole BAALenciaga perversion?

And the gulag line was brilliant!
Thank you!

Yes -- boomers have a lot to answer for! (apologies if you are one! 🤣🤣)
I am a boomer, but I agree with you (and we are not the only generation with a lot to answer for; sin has been around since the Garden of Eden).

I want to know why he was hanging out with the NXIVM people. He has lost ALL credibility with me.

He was [hanging out with the degenerate underage-girl thingy sex cult]??
Yes. Look at his Twitter feed. It’s full of affectionate pictures of him and those freaks.
