Earlier this week, I was approached by an off duty @rcmpgrcpolice officer who was a big fan. We briefly chatted about some of the lunacy going on at the RCMP. I'll share anonymously some of that lunacy shortly. It is UNBELIEVABLE. See the thread.
Dear white RCMP officers, recognize your white privilege, you utter a**holes.
Tampon Tim @Tim_Walz will be happy to know that the RCMP will adhere to the policy of having tampons in men's bathrooms because men too can menstruate!
Oh and when writing tickets etc, please make sure to give a pass to people of color. Lady Justice is apparently not so blind! I'm a Lebanese Jew, hence a "Jew of color." Can I speed with complete impunity?
If you stop someone, do NOT misgender them.

I've been seeing some folks (e.g., @mcuban) defending the virtues in some instances of DIE principles (diversity, inclusion, and equity). There is nothing laudable about the ethos of DIE. Those who support DIE are using consequentialism to justify an otherwise deontological violation. As I've explained for decades, if there are systemic barriers that stop some groups from flourishing (the proverbial equality of opportunities) then by all means fight hard to eradicate such obstacles. But DIE never operates in that spirit. It always presumes that the non-equality of outcomes must be due to systemic bigotry and hence "Noble People" must intervene to fix the problem (by implementing otherwise "corrective anti-bigoted" policies). Academia is rife with DIE at all levels and it is a frontal and fatal attack on the meritocratic ethos that shapes scientific and academic excellence. There is nothing noble, laudable, just, or fair about DIE. You either believe in meritocracy or you don't. DIE is where meritocracy goes to die. @elonmusk
Example: I've previously discussed data from the US government that shows that across all educational levels (associate, bachelor, master, and doctorate) and five racial breakdowns, women outnumber men in EVERY single one of the 20 cells. And yet, DIE bureaucracies continue to push for "corrective" programs meant to protect women in American and Canadian universities as though we were in Waziristan. DIE is pancreatic cancer. DIE is Ebola. DIE is an affront to individual dignity. There is nothing redeemable about this racist ethos that masquerades as progressive social justice.
Oh, there aren't enough transgender indigenous women of color who are full professors of pure mathematics, well then we must implement DIE policies to permit such individuals to flourish. This is how you get the Claudine Gay's of the world. Let me tag @BillAckman given his admiration of "Dr" Gay.
I just watched the exchange between @Byoussef and @piersmorgan. First, I thought that Piers was incredibly gracious and generous in granting Mr. Youssef the opportunity to lecture for nearly 30 minutes. Second, as a satirist from the Middle East myself, I could have easily handled Bassem's passive-aggressive "sarcasm." His point about disproportionality is nonsensical in a myriad of ways. I've already covered this in a recent Saad Truth clip on my show. A lot of people are hailing Mr. Youssef for his "brilliant" sarcasm. It was seething albeit castrated passive-aggressiveness that has several names in Arabic. It is impossible to have a meaningful dialogue when someone is monopolistically spewing endless transparent jabs under the guise of "sarcasm."
Most decent and moral people (including yours truly) abhor the harming of ANY civilian on any side of a conflict. I wonder though if Mr. Youssef mourns the loss of all of the innocent people that have been killed by the Noble People of Perpetual Peace. Perhaps Mr. Youssef could
let us know what happened to the Egyptian Jews, the Lebanese Jews, the Syrian Jews, the Libyan Jews, the Algerian Jews, the Yemeni Jews, and the Arabian Jews from the days of Muhammad (among other Mizrahi Jews). Perhaps he could tell us about whether he'd rather live in a
The current Hamas-Israel battle, which started when Hamas came into Israel and slaughtered and raped 1,400+ Israelis has been turned into a supposed genocide against the Palestinian people. The biggest casuality in war is truly the truth. I'm receiving abuse for NOT speaking out against Israeli aggression. This is happening roughly 10 days after I had to contact many people in Israel to find out if any of my family members had been harmed. Remember, Hamas killing 1,400+ Israelis 10 days ago is the call for us to all band for Palestine. Those Jews are such whiners, you know.
As I've explained, ANY loss of innocent life on any side of a conflict is by definition a tragedy. But imagine the pure rape of truth when I receive abuse for not caring more about whether my f**king family is alive or not. I should be protesting on the street "free free Palestine, from the river to the sea" otherwise I'm a monster. This is what happens when people lose all sense of reason, logic, common sense, causality, and reality. Cheers.
As I explain in chapter 1 of The Parasitic Mind, the two fundamental ideals that shape my life's trajectory are freedom and truth. Hence, when I fight against a grotesque falsehood ("Some women have nine-inch penises"), this has nothing to do with being "non-accepting" of people.
It has everything to do with defending the integrity and dignity of truth. We could be loving and compassionate people whilst rejecting falsehoods. The proverbial "walk and chew gum at the same time" applies here. It is truly astonishing the number of times that I have to
repeat myself. Our capacity to navigate the world is rooted in a shared understanding of what words mean. We are a sexually reproducing species with two default phenotypes. In the 21st century, we should not be having debates about what constitutes "WOMAN" and "MAN."
The Noble @TheDemocrats are the party of truth. 1) @JussieSmollett was attacked by MAGA thugs; 2) Women can have nine-inch penises; 3) Men can bear children; 4) There are no objective truths other than the one truth that there are no objective truths; 5) A 17-year-old who kills
his parents to collect the insurance money is only a child BUT a two-year-old who declares that they are transgender are old enough to state so; 6) To point to the origins of COVID is racist; 7) To suggest that COVID spread via a lab leak is a conspiracy; 8) The COVID vaccine
stops the spread of the virus; 9) COVID does not spread between humans; 10) BLM riots are peaceful and cannot serve as super spreader events (of COVID); 11) US inflation was caused by Putin; 12) All cultures are equal but the US culture is uniquely evil; 13) It is a good idea to
