He’s severely underrated as a thinker. Tyler Cowen calls him the most important intellectual among conservatives right now. The media hates him for a lot of reasons. If they were unbiased and mature, he’d be a household name in the US.

Just like the Left underestimates how much bipartisan and black support there was for the ‘94 crime bill: https://www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/597547/

No. Practically every institution, academic, corporate, media, entertainment etc. has been bending over to the demands of the woke mob. Good to see someone put their foot down and say NO.

I hope Zuckerberg keeps standing up to all these outrage mobs. Courage is contagious and inspiring.

This framing is disingenuous. The Republican objection was to the illegal immigration aspects of the bill: https://web.archive.org/web/20160128153454/http://www.herita...

It’s too far in the game to still make this claim. Go through this list and tell us there is no “real” speech suppression: https://twitter.com/SoOppressed/status/1282404647160942598?s...

The only rebuttal to PG in your comment is ARAMCO, which was a state-run org till recently, and is nothing like the companies PG is talking about. Try again.

No he’s not. He takes extra care to anonymize the patient descriptions.

Nonsense. Read Matt Taibbi’s recent article for starters. David Shor(a junior data scientist), a Mexican-American construction worker etc. 12-year olds kicked out of school and ostracised for saying the n-word on some random TikTok. You rea

“You can’t handle the truth!” - Col. Jessup. Look at China’s aggression in the past couple of months, especially with India. It would never have happened 10 or 20 years back with a strong America. Yes, the US does serve as the world’s polic

I thought the left would learn the need for coalition-building from 2016, but unfortunately they seem to have doubled down on their old hostile ways.

Both sides are so convinced of their moral superiority that they just can’t empathize with the other or anticipate their reaction. God save this country
