Earlier today, @MrAndyNgo called attention to Jason Wilson, a left-wing writer who co-authored a smear article on the SPLC's "Hate Watch" site. It's worth examing this article for the agitprop tactics involved. 1/🧵
splcenter.org/resources/hate… @MrAndyNgo The subhead on that 2022 SPLC article: "SubscribeStar, an online subscription platform, is allowing dozens of far-right propagandists, conspiracy theorists and purveyors of medical misinformation to generate almost $2 million a year from fans, Hatewatch has established."

OK, @Devon_Eriksen_ got linked by @instapundit, which caused me to wonder: "Who is @whstancil?" Like, I was vaguely aware of him as a liberal commentator, but had never before been curious enough to actually research him. So now I have, and the results are ... amusing. @Devon_Eriksen_ @instapundit @whstancil Last year, Will Stancil ran in the Democrat (DFL) primary for a legislative seat in MInnesota's 61A district (southwest Minneapolis) which is 84% white, demographically, but deep, deep blue politically.

Because @JackPosobiec has mentioned "a classic use of the DARVO tactic ... Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender" by those defaming the late Charlie Kirk, permit me to expand a bit on this topic. 🧵 @JackPosobiec DARVO (“Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender”) is a pattern of behavior first described by psychologist Jennifer Freyd particularly dealing with sex offenders whose response to being apprehended for their crimes followed this script ...

BTW, this might be a good time to point out that Charlie Kirk was always pro-Israel. And you know something? That's a major reason why the people celebrating Charlie's death are facing actual consequences. Since 10/7, a lot of Jews have awakened to the evil nature of the Left. In all seriousness, the post-10/7 reckoning has made a lot of Jews realize how precious it is to have courageous allies. Charlie Kirk’s defense of Israel was a “mitzvah.” The people celebrating Charlie’s death? Enemies of Israel, all of them.

@AnnCoulter @JonathanTurley Question: When Vernon Jordan got Monica to sign that false affidavit, how was that not subornation of perjury?

THIS STORY?

Even more important than you may think, for reasons that require a bit of explanation. (Hint: My TV isn't tuned to Fox.)
@WelbornBeege @DonaldJTrumpJr @elonmusk @instapundit @AceofSpadesHQhotair.com/tree-hugging-s… @WelbornBeege @DonaldJTrumpJr @elonmusk @instapundit @AceofSpadesHQ Just after reading Beege's article, I walked into my home office where the TV is tuned to MSNBC (I watch, so you don't have to) and guess what they were talking about? How Elon is a threat to Grandma's SS! I'm sure you're shocked, shocked.

You argument is absolutely dishonest. What @The_WGD was reacting to was the insulting suggestion that somehow the death of an elderly woman in a foreign country was OUR FAULT because we, the U.S. taxpayer, didn't pay up. @The_WGD What you are doing, @sotruegrant, is dishonest in several layers. Among other things, you are turning a public policy issue into an opportunity for claiming moral superiority. This is the psychological root of what Thomas Sowell called "The Vision of the Anointed."

"Pretendians" in academia -- a short thread: Isn't it time that we stop playing along with university-educated people claiming their fake claims of indigenous ancestry were innocent mistakes? We are not living in the pre-Internet age, when researching one's genealogy required spending endless hours in libraries scrolling through microfilm records, etc. Anyone can trace their family tree now with just a few spare evenings on Ancestry-dot-com and other such sites.

So weird: I fell asleep watching ESPN, then woke up and switched to Fox News and was surprised that it wasn't all about Damar Hamlin. The sports world is a different world, I guess. BTW, I understand why some people are speculating this incident -- later reported as cardiac arrest -- was vaccine-induced. And I also understand why other claim such speculation is "politicizing" Damar Hamlin's situation. Hello, why is a potential health risk "political"?

WHY ITALY? More than 7,500 people have died of #coronavirus in Italy, and the mainstream media doesn't want you to know why Italy was hit so hard by this disease from China. (Thread.) PERCHÉ L'ITALIA? Più di 7.500 persone sono morte di #coronavirus in Italia, e i media mainstream non vogliono che tu sappia perché l'Italia è stata colpita così duramente da questa malattia dalla Cina.

Just a short thread -- random thought -- about female sexual behavior. @RationalMale has written at length about solipsism as fundamental to female psychology. Guys often ask, "Why do women always take everything so personally?" The correct word is subjective. #RedPill @RationalMale "Why can't a woman be more like a man?" Professor Higgins asks, in "My Fair Lady." Oh, perish the thought, Professor! No one should ever wish such a horrible thing! A mannish woman lacks the nurturing qualities which make women so desirable, and such a woman loves men less.

This is important to women's complaints about the shortage of "dateable" men, in that women's unrealistic expectations mean that the only men deemed "dateable" are those with relatively rare qualities, e.g., above-average height. @RationalMale @RationalMale This goes to what I've called The 1-in-7 Rule: Only about 15% of the male population is naturally attractive to such an extent that, from a young age, they obtain female romantic companionship with little effort.

Can we talk about "asexuality" in relation to the LGBT movement? Because I just stumbled across this Tumblr post with 10,000+ notes and it's crazy. Even by the usual standards of Tumblr discourse craziness, this is extra-crazy. archive.is/EYD7H Notice the assertion of "aphobia," as we are told that "aphobes come out of the woodwork" in June. What the actual fuck does this mean? Are there roving gangs of hooligans assaulting asexual people?

Let's talk about the word "afraid" in this context.
How did disapproval become rhetorically conflated with "fear" or "hate"? Immediately, one encounters the "experts say" social-science response.

A vindictive bitch's tweet, intended to humiliate her ex-boyfriend, went viral. Expect her to claim victimhood when she becomes famous, not in a good way. Mercy is a virtue. Vindictive people are not good people. They never consider this: What will happen when the wheel turns, and you are called to account for your merciless cruelty? "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord."

Let me expand on this, a bit, because I think many people misunderstand the feminist critique of pornography, as I did for many years. Circa 1985, when Andrea Dworkin & Co. were leading the feminist crusade against pornography, most Americans had zero exposure to hard-core porn. I know that I was clueless as to what the fuss was about, never having seen such stuff.

Short answer: YES. And I can briefly explain why. huckmagazine.com/perspectives/o… @mmegannnolan @glosswitch @MeghanEMurphy @jessphillips The "male feminist" is a running joke both among feminists and anti-feminists. Like, dear God, #StopClymer, right? Why is this? Isn't it because the male feminist's motives are so transparently obvious? Yet he expects to be taken seriously?

There is a huge overlap between (a) the transgender population and (b) the BDSM/fetish/"kink" scene. Only a fool could believe this is not significant. Also, how many transgender people have histories of childhood sexual trauma? #Transcult: "If you don't validate their identities and support their transition, they'll kill themselves!"
Sane People: "Can we talk about their suicidal tendencies? Maybe the cause-and-effect correlation here isn't what you say it is?"
#Transcult: "HATER!"

Observations on "gender": The sexual marketplace is governed by forces that mirror the economics of supply and demand. Humans respond to incentives, but not all responses are rational or advantageous. Many of those in the so-called "manosphere" speak the language of sociobiology, although it's not clear that they actually understand the fundamental concepts pioneered by E.O. Wilson, Lionel Tiger, et al.
