Progressive mindset: 1) Borders are racist. National walls are white supremacy. 2) Defund the police, as it engages in structural racism. 3) Confiscate guns (weaken 2nd amendment) because mass shootings are committed by white supremacists. 4) Get rid of cash bail because racism.
because that process marginalizes communities of color. 5) Eradicate the three strikes law because it is a racist law. 6) Refrain from prosecuting countless felonies because the US judicial system is built on white supremacy. 7) Eradicate the death penalty (even for repeat child
killers) because bruh innocence and systemic racism. 8) Severity of a crime is judged based on the racial makeup of the perpetrator and the victim because bruh systemic racism. In doing so, implement a progressive judicial system akin to sharia law.
9) The penal system is antiquated because a criminal is really responding to the harsh environment that he/she faced (e.g., white supremacy). Rehabilitate, don't punish.
99% of my progressively liberal friends and colleagues SUPPORT these measures.
* get rid of "because racism." for point 4 [see next tweet]

Just found out that the fascists who are trying to cancel me from speaking at the Jewish Public Library, are asking their activists to state that they are not solely composed of members of the LGBTQ community but that some are also cisnormative heterosexual people! In other
words, they are seeking to strategize their deplatforming efforts in a way that signals: "See, we all hate the Lebanese Jew who fights for individual freedom, the scientific method, and liberty & dignity for all." Stop for a moment and think about it: I have gone on record
on countless occasions that I, a Lebanese Jew who escaped the genocidal hate of the Middle East, SUPPORT the right of Holocaust deniers to spew their grotesque anti-truth anti-human BS. And yet, these "super woke" Jews wish to cancel a Lebanese Jew to whom they should be paying
Some of the dumbest, least intellectual, most tribal, most irrational people that I've ever met are so-called professional intellectuals. It is truly baffling to see the level of intellectual depravity that stems from academics and associated ilk. This is especially so when the
professional bullshitters are fully detached from the consequences of their vapid pontification. ALL of the idea pathogens destroying the West were spawned by leftist professors. ALL. Again, I implore you to read The Parasitic Mind.
I am watching with utter astonishment the orgiastic focus on identity politics specifically race issues when addressing EVERY possible story. It is as though the West has just been liberated from the most intolerant, genocidal apartheid regime last Tuesday. EVERY topic in
art, science, politics, literature, acting, voting, nutrition, COVID, climate change, poverty, interpersonal dynamics, marriage, gardening, the outdoors, and countless other topics are infused with race, race, race, race, race, race, race. It is tragic. It is self-induced. It
is the most hysterical form of a faux-moral panic. Most people irrespective of their race are not rabid racists running around hating on others. The West is the most tolerant society that the world has ever known. We are committing collective suicide. Drop the division.
Cast a vote in a democracy => Photo ID is worse than Jim Crow. It’s a way to implement white supremacy.
Let me tag my hero Unifying Man of Science @joebiden who compares the requiring of photo IDs when voting to bruh the Holocaust. Only Nazis would impose such a requirement.
As someone who has been a professor for nearly 27 years, I cannot stress the extraordinary variance in terms of the quality of research that is produced in academia. Some "research" would receive a FAIL in my undergraduate class. Quality control is sorely lacking in academia.
A lot of the BS (as I explain in The Parasitic Mind) stems from the position that the scientific method (with its pesky data) is only one way of understanding the world. Hence, you can generate an auto-ethnography of your thoughts whilst looking at the mirror and voila PhD! Or
you could have a chat with a few people and report passages from these, and voila doctor! No hypothesis testing. No data analyses. No inferential statistics. No nothing. This anti-science nihilism is something that I was first exposed to as a graduate student. It has only
