The lefties who thought they had the carte blanche support of the country’s institutions are now waking up to the fact that they were just useful rubes for keeping the corporate elite in power by calling half the country racist for almost a decade. The same power centers that

@Jason_Aldean
The need for you to argue your supposed superiority to other artists is not an act done in good faith and taints art and culture. Who cares what Jason Aldean writes? Does his music make yours better or worse? The answer is “neither”. You’re just acting as a wedge.
@AnnieMouth
I was just thinking about how socially acceptable it is for women to comment on men’s behavior and issues. Girls are vicious in their judgement of men. Contrarily, men say one thing and out come either the knives or the well-known victim card.

“Our Democracy” is my favorite new catchphrase of people frustrated with actual democracy playing out in a way they don’t like. Bahaha.

Never for a moment have I regretted being circumcised. At worst, indifferent. What percentage of trans surgery recipients regret their decision? What is the cost to them?
Absolute false equivalency.

No man has a duty to take care of a single mom, but I do find it inspiring when men take responsibility for a young person in need of a male role model. I’m a product of this, even though my mom’s a piece of work. He’s like a father to me. Can be proud of that part of his life.

“Everything that happened before now was evil” is something the left keeps repeating only for the purpose or reinventing a utopia in their idealistic image.
@Not_the_Bee
Gen Z is small and relatively unfit for service. It turns out that when you tell an entire generation of young people to see themselves as victims, they don’t want to do hard things or be part of something bigger than themselves.

@realchrisrufo
It’s a pretty incredible, triumphant story. I get the “what” but what’s the “so what”? Do you want to weaponize the bad things of the past and use them as a blunt object against folks who disagree with you?

From a retweet and with which I strongly agree: “ The true purpose of pieces like this is to confirm our cultural and intellectual exhaustion, to demonstrate how little academics have to offer, outside solving esoteric technical puzzles, to public life.”

I want to respect their parenting choices but those same folks had VERY strong opinions about how I should parent for 2+ years.

It was also a message to the soviets. We needed to establish quick global dominance last the warm might’ve drug on and ended up as a fight for territory between the Soviets and the US.

Their country also has a homogenous population and great public health officials that removed the mandate very early.
Our country has the opposite. While I value diversity (not just aesthetically), it creates challenges for any kind of central governance.

When I was a young man I realized this. Made me realize how selfish i was being by seeking “no strings” intimacy, even if it was made verbally clear that it was just meant to be “casual”.

This is the cultural equivalent of realizing COVID vax was an absolute boondoggle. Some of us have been calling it like this all along.
@Not_the_Bee
The idea that the only way to not be a “phobic” is to constantly participate in gay/trans/etc stuff is ludicrous. We forgot how to mind our own business and acknowledge that not everything is for everybody.

Don’t squander your 20s. Have fun but work hard. It is the decade that differentiates most peoples’ life outcomes. Find where you’re deficient and fiercely reckon with it.

Color blindness may not be possible but it’s a better goal than color hypersensitivity. Kendi has done irreparable harm to American culture and our social fabric.

Here’s the playbook you’re following with great precision:
1. Provide a non-sequitur response to a point, using something like a emoji calling it “cringe” or the like
2. When asked for clarification, move to insults (white supremacy, Nazi, “sociopath”, MAGA, etc) that are broad
Young men, of all colors and backgrounds, need a cultural message that captures the full complexity of life’s struggles.

captured so many of these emotions, but culminates on a narrative of beauty, love, forgiveness, triumph and fun. Such original art gives me hope

The irony of your (social media) post is that you’re selectively interpreting and misrepresenting most of the right’s dialogue about Russia. In your binary world, one cannot acknowledge that Russia is not as austerely Soviet and draconian as the western press would have you

Superfluous, credentialist elites feel entitled to dictate the terms of acceptable debate and language as they run the country’s institutions into the ground.

Go onto a long form podcast that has a broad audience and that will ask you tough questions. Your trust hurdle is so much higher than you realize. Americans are losing faith in almost everything and it’s happening on your watch.
@JasonIsbell
I find it not happenstance that—as the quality of your music has gone down—your ideological projection has gone up. Narcissism masquerading as empathy.
Our smug, divisive artists deserve the scorn and derision that’s coming to them.

Individual freedom is messy but it’s central to the American identity. I don’t think most folks realize how many other terrible dominoes could fall if we tried to get rid of it (something that many powerful people seem to be in the process of trying to do).
@FredrickDoss
The framing of this is “everyone who disagrees with me is a bad person” is disingenuous at best. You’re being quite misleading.
1. In practice, “diversity” means abandoning the goal of a colorblind society.
2. “Equity” means abandoning objective measures of merit to achieve

Saw a family of five at the airport today, all (including three young children) masked. What are they teaching those kids about the world? What are the effects to their ability to detect social cues through facial expressions?

Yes and “we should stop fighting wars”, but idealism has no place at the table of serious conversation where realistic outcomes must be considered.

Schools administrators love virtue signaling as they fail by almost every important measure to create a flourishing generation of young people.

Women, in the name of feminism, were told to chase the masculine ideals of career mindedness and promiscuous sex ad infinitum.
Both are fleeting, shallow, and only preserve your ego. Meeting men who have only valued these things into their middle age is like looking at a shell

@sesamestreet
“Kindness and acceptance “ and expecting everyone (and their kids) to participate in your self image are not the same. The desire for folks to discuss sexuality with kids is odd.
@gabrielwinant
One of the best developments of the past few years is a realization of how dumb and intellectually lazy academics are. High IQ with little to offer to society outside of their moralizing banter. Imagine a world where they actually had to **work**.
@robkhenderson
Do you think there’s some weird virtue signaling by these women? Trying to understand the intro-sex dynamics…”look how attractive I am! Everyone wants me and I quickly reject their advances”!
But the data and my anecdotal experience with female friends suggests that they want

We’re basically bald monkeys, and men are attracted to youthful women who show indicators of fertility. One of those is youth. Younger women are more likely to successfully bear children. It’s deeply biological.
But I will agree that there are many kinds of beauty, and that

Gonna just say that people airing out these intense personal moments on the internet is classless.
She’s wrong but this is not public business. If every man who cheated got blasted on video…you’d have a customer base for a new twitter.
