I think if anyone's "creepily infatuated," it's these weirdo YouTube pundits who choose to spend their time constantly gossiping about me
I also never mentioned "indoctrination by liberal professors," you weirdos. I've been covering the instatement of a permanent surveillance bureaucracy on a false premise of "safety," analogous to what was instated after 9/11. But I guess that's "right-wing" now 🙄
I've explained countless times -- in articles, tweets, videos -- that I'm covering this issue due to the wider societal implications. But @MattBinder & co. just ignore these explanations and claim I've suddenly developed some suspicious "infatuation" with college campuses. Creeps
If you can bear watching it, please note these guys spent a full segment rebutting stuff I never said, and have never claimed, while completely ignoring the issue that I was actually talking about. But such is the behavior of the "creepily infatuated"
I'd suggest that what's really indicative of a "creepy infatuation" is to spend two weeks gossiping about my personal life on YouTube, but that's just me @EmmaVigeland@MattBinder

Turns out one of the most nasty and bitter journalists on Twitter has cut off personal friends -- all of whom are fellow left-wing residents of Western MA -- for allegedly being "anti-vax." Now he's bragging about it in The Atlantic. Not surprising theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Not long ago, this person launched into a raging tirade because I pointed out that a GOP-leaning county in KY had a higher vaccination rate than Berkshire County, MA. Now he's filing Atlantic dispatches on left-wing anti-vax sentiment in the Berkshires? 🤔
And as many have pointed out, it's hardly "anti-vax" to recognize that natural immunity generated by contracting COVID confers significant protection. Unless the Washington Post is now a heinously "anti-vax" publication: washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…
Academia Is Establishing A Permanent Surveillance Bureaucracy That Will Soon Govern The Rest Of The Country mtracey.substack.com/p/academia-is-…
Wait, you mean the online left allowed their petty personal grievances and gossipy, snark-infused performance art to cloud their judgment again? I'm flabbergasted
Yeah, it's so "edgy" to suggest schoolchildren not be permanently surveilled for a virus from which they face astronomically low risk, and hauled off into isolation if they cough, even though everyone they might "transmit" to has universal vaccine access
The first time one of these parental surveillance "app" systems was demonstrated to me a few years ago, I was shocked. I guess I shouldn't have been. But it was just mind-blowing that parents would choose to actively monitor *literally every movement* of their teenage children
I like how this is supposed to be some sort of slam-dunk riposte. If I did have children, I can't fathom feeling a need to subject them to 24/7 surveillance as though they're criminals, and if I *did* feel that need I would assume something wrong with *me*
My basic view. I totally reject the idea that exerting constructive parental influence requires surveilling your kid's every movement and destroying their privacy. You have the "right" to do it, but it's crazy and probably causes more harm than it prevents
Was just told Tucker covered the issue tonight. No, I did not coordinate with him or anyone at Fox. Maybe instead of lashing out in anger, ask why other networks and news outlets aren't covering the instatement of a nationwide surveillance regime on the false pretense of "safety"
As predicted, other colleges have started threatening to impose extreme Australia-style lockdowns modeled on the one that was just tried at Conn College. Sacred Heart U. in Fairfield, CT sent an email making this threat, implicitly blaming (vaccinated) students for new "cases"
Newsom appeared to be on the ropes and then the GOP decides to rally around a dopey flame-throwing talk radio guy. Failed CA recall is a good metaphor for the systemic stupidity of the GOP
Larry Elder "won" by getting millions of dollars in free media and dramatically expanding his media profile, thanks to the also systemically stupid conservative media boosting him for weird inverted Identity Politics reasons
LA County trended GOP in 2020 so don't try to argue that it would've been intrinsically impossible for a Republican to win an off-year state election in CA. This became less possible because a blinkered talk radio personality made the race a referendum on the national Culture War
Told ya. Due to an increase in asymptomatic "cases," Brown University just imposed a suite of new restrictions -- including prohibitions on student social gatherings and going to bars/restaurants. Once again, they'd already mandated vaccination. The "permanent crisis" continues
This in particular is extremely creepy. In other words, "don't try to make friends"
The consistent pattern with these institutions is they choose to impose a wholly unnecessary and invasive surveillance "testing" regime, and then when the surveillance inevitably turns up meaningless "cases," they blame the students for having engaged in normal social activity
