However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

Did First Wave Nazis complain so much about people being mean to them? Did German officials lament how people wouldnβt serve them dinner during Kristallnacht and were yelling at them in the streets? Iβm genuinely curious

Years from now, it'll be difficult to explain the things people in media were wailing about before all this. Sophomores writing underconsidered op-eds about cultural appropriation. Protests against demagogues on campus. YA drama. "Mobs" on Twitter. These were the threats to free society.

i don't know if he did or if he didn't but when an organization has lied to you repeatedly you don't put the claim up front and then contextualize it later, this is a basic fact of writing, "DHS claims individual who was shot by federal agent had a handgun" is the proper way to communicate this
24.01.2026 18:07 β π 168 π 12 π¬ 8 π 1A rotten disease of the American liberal mind is the desire to seem reasonable to an imaginary political referee they have invented for the purposes of their own absolution.
