Conservative/anti-woke liberals, columnists and the likes have this delusion that we can just overthrow status quo by getting everyone to “speak up”. Worst, they put their own efforts in such regards at the same level of "normie" types using their real name on social media. 🧵 As I pointed out before, this mainly because they fail to understand difference between themselves i.e. people engaged in content economy (or “intellectuals”) and the “average” person. There’s a reward structure built into the commentary industry that just isn't there for normies

Interesting that Peterson is defending Fridman on this, though at the same time makes perfect sense. The reason why Lex has been getting so much criticism for the reading list is that it's a pretty good window into what he is/does, and Peterson lately is not much different. 🧵 A lot of people (myself included) have pointed out that this is a pretty basic, generic list of books one's usually expected to read in high school, to which Lex defended himself by saying he's actually re-reading most of them and that they're "profound".

Tonight Argentina didn't just win against France. Nationalism triumphed against Globalism, Belief in God against secularism. Every Argentinian player possessed by a desire to bring joy to their People, to make history for their country, to bring Glory to a Nation. Look at this image of Montiel, moments after he scored the winning penalty for Argentina. You can feel the joy, the gratitude, the emotion of knowing that an entire country and his family are proud of him, for fighting with pride to the very last minute, for bringing them joy.

This is my great-granduncle, Giordano Bruno Granzarolo. He was one of the 11 pilots who took part in the "mad flight" (il "pazzo volo") over Vienna in a WWI air raid with poet and nationalist Gabriele D'Annunzio in which 400k propaganda leaflets were dropped over the city.

A 🧵 G. B. Granzarolo was born in Verona in 1894, the son of a farmer named Lino and Teresa Zanibello. He enlisted in the army in 1915, quickly rose to the rank of Captain, and eventually joined the Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force) two years later, in February 1917.
