You ever thought about doing an exposรฉ/series about Curtis Yarvin's frighteningly mediocre circlejerking? None of his ideas are new, but the kind of expert humiliation he and Thiel need could serve as an arrow through the chest to one of the main cores of this whole shitshow.

The French tried almost everything to stop the Iraq war. The Belgian government tried to sue Bush in the Hague. Greek soldiers went on strike until the Greek government promised to not join the war. We do not need lectures on Iraq by barely literate inbred swamp savages like Vance.

The absolute fucking gall of Vance to lecture us on Iraq. Not only did we tell you not to go to war, we took in the refugees of your fucking war. French, Danish, Belgian, Italian, and German troops then joined the war against ISIS. Iraq should be a lesson for you to look at your fucking selves.

Opinion | Thereโ€™s a Name for What Trump Is Doing to Trans People: Denationalizing (Gift Article) The message is that we are a threat to the nation. The subtext is that we are not of this nation.

"The Trump administrationโ€™s barrage of attacks on trans people can seem haphazard, but as elements of a denationalization project, they fall into place."
