The Era of Biden

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

Oh, Amerika can go until the foreseeable future, just look at Europe, but Liberty America, that's gone and can't come back: feminists & minorities & weirdos are in charge from here on out, just like in Europe.

Populism was gaining ground all over the world but the Shamdemic put a stop to that.

I don't get that sentiment.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has had a stunning run of victories since it was founded. There are now more legally reified protections for free speech in America than ever.

I've never seen such negative attention and push back for a Pulitzer prize as what Nicole Hanah-Jones got for her absurd 1619 Project. The NYT, in a particularly callow move, quietly edited out her most spurious bullshit. That, combined with other nonsense from the Old Grey Lady, means that fewer serious people take the NYT seriously than ever. What is that but a win for the condemnation of new woke staffers in media?

I have not seen any serious support for the Seuss Company's removal of pieces of its catalog - only mockery and condemnation. Plus, opportunities for anyone with first editions of the banned books, since demand for them has sky rocketed and they now command a pretty high price. That looks to me like a sign that the censors are not popular or supported.

You used to have to dig past the front page in the WSJ to find anything about Chinese treatment of non-Han Chinese. Now I see something about the Uighers almost every day. This is a great sign.

The extent to which we fail to live up to our value of liberty is only in relation to how unique we are in valuing liberty so highly, and I don't see that going away. I don't see every setback as proof that the fight is lost, or that liberty has been abandoned.

The current struggles for liberty are all about how we censure each other in a free society, and how we operationalize our country's liberty protections for new technology. I don't see the struggle for liberty as lost - I see it running into obstacles as it pushes into new territory and spreads.

Sorry, that kind of went on and on - I just really don't understand this liberty-pessimism.

ultimately all this Wokeism is going to come crashing back down on the left

they are going to burn in a fire of their own making

the key as conservatives, is to just bide our time until the left blows themselves up

then pounce on them, using all the censorious laws that the left passed against them

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

All liberty-minded and conservative people need to do is manage to not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I'm not a liberty minded conservative anymore

I am only interested in vengeance now, burn the leftists at their own stakes, hang them with their own rope

Hey Smitty I thought you smoked too much weed for that my man! Haha. Checkout my podcast and tell if you want to come on and discuss a quality film!

To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

Do not propagate the lie. We will not be gaslighted by you mutterfukker

That’s one.

[Martin Hash]

Anymore Mutterfukkers want to insinuate I’m crazy? I’m in a Banning mood

I don't find that it impairs me, slow is smooth, smooth is fast

no need to get hotheaded about things, revenge is a dish best served cold

Same sentiment as Hanarchy. And I agree as well. The Backlash is going to be grand.

The danger here is swinging back too far the other way, as Smitty proposes. Or if the Backlash never materializes and we fall off the table to the left.

Either way, we need to stabilize the ship, not keep rocking harder.
