Thread: I’ve come to the conclusion that the collapse we’re in now is the inevitable end of what purely secular liberalism looks like. (A sad reality as someone who wrote a book defending liberalism.) The tolerance baked into liberalism is what let Wokeism into the system.
The soft underbelly of that tolerance, and a belief that logic and reason can solve all, are the perfect breeding ground for bad ideas like Wokeism to pop up and breed. And secular liberals, without a bedrock truth other than their own minds, have no defense against this.
Our Founders understood this which is why the Constitution didn’t grant us rights, it protected them. Rights are god given, not man given. Logic needs something eternal beneath it as foundation. This is a point @yhazony @benshapiro @DennisPrager @jordanbpeterson have made often.
Liberals not only have no defense now, but they actively are destroying their own businesses, families and institutions by pretending that Wokeism can be rationalized with and defeated. The point of Wokeism is to be anti-human and anti-Individual. And it will spare no one.
I think some (former?) liberals like @realchrisrufo and @ConceptualJames have seen this, while most bury their head in the sand and hope it passes them by. It will not.

I welcome debate on this with @sapinker @SamHarrisOrg @EricRWeinstein @BretWeinstein @JonHaidt @bariweiss...
@sullydish @HeatherEHeying @CHSommers @peterboghossian @joerogan @MaajidNawaz and any other true liberal who would like to discuss it in good faith. No doubt there are varying levels of agreement and disagreement...something liberals used to relish in having.

End!

So sad to hear about the passing of my friend, my mentor and my bonus grandfather. There’s only one true King of interviewing and it was Larry King.

“What does it all mean? The answer is I don’t know.”
“I’m still there. I’m still asking questions.
“I don’t believe in afterlife...baby, that’s it...”

Meanwhile I have to wear mask like a ninja going on vacation at an airport that looks like a 3rd world country because everything is closed.

See you in a few hours, the free state of Florida!
Neck seal!

Holy shit just got this email from YouTube.

Starting today they will remove content about election fraud...even though there are court cases about election fraud going through the system at this very moment.

Adios free speech. The bannings are coming.
This is an extraordinary escalation in the free speech war. Mainstream will ignore as will the few remaining “free speech liberals” so they won’t be though of as scary Trump supporters.

Time is running out.
You guys get this email? @ScottAdamsSays @Timcast @scrowder?

"Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place."

This is the reverse of freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We guarantee equality under the law, not equality of outcome.

I've been warning for 5 years that the left is no longer liberal. Thread here we go!
First up, what is the difference between Leftism and Liberalism?
This split between Leftism and Liberalism is exactly what I was warning against in my first @prageru video, “Why I Left The Left” from almost 4 years ago.
