Sunday at 9 pm US Eastern on Youtube -As massive anti-Jewish sentiment breaks out across the west, the US and UK governments are launching. . what? "Anti-islamophobia" initiatives. While hundreds of thousands of pro-Hamas supporters throng the streets of Western cities, we're told by our government that is they, not the Jews, who are in danger. The psychopathic reversals are now immediate.
Hey Josh - I don’t have time to watch this one, but caught you on DarkHorse with Bret recently discussing Cluster B personality disorders. Just wanted to say well done!
After 9/11, the US imported millions of Muslims while simultaneously attacking two Muslim countries. What could possibly go wrong? Well, there was that string of Islamic terror attacks at Ft Hood, the Boston Marathon, a Florida gay night club, and a Christmas party, and... Not to be left out, Europe did the same thing and had their own series of Islamic terror attacks. I'll never forget that photo of the little girl who's body was ripped in half by a Muslim who drove a truck into a crowd of people. Now not only are there more Muslims in mosque on Friday than there are Europeans in church on Sunday, but the Muslims now hold posts in government. Atrocities like Rotherham will be normalized, and the only people who will be arrested are the ones who dare to notice. Stupidity is a thing, but this looks more like a plan.

What I think we are seeing is the flaws of our social systems laid bare, especially the actual *people* in positions of authority who are extremely unsuited to them. The cowards who won’t call out grown men LARPing as little girls, the “teachers” who are teaching children to ignore their instincts, the psychopathic surgeons with zero moral compass, the BLM leaders embezzling charitable donations, the Presidents that can’t remember what they were talking about... ALL of this incompetence, greed, and stupidity is getting exposed by the internet. So it’s not so much that everything is so much worse; we just can see it now. This will ultimately be a good thing, but in the mean time we’re struggling to figure out how to vet of leaders and sources of information within this new, internet-facilitated reality.
You know what? Whether we like it or not, those of us that *notice* things are going to bear a lot more responsibility within this reality. We have some combination of trauma and smarts that makes us able to see things that others miss. Other people are going to want to know what we think, and we’re gabby/obnoxious enough to actually tell them, lol. Humans tend to seek out knowledge from the knowledgeable, and once you out yourself, they’ll focus on you.
Moral leader might not be what you wanted to be, but then, the philosopher king never wanted to be a king, either. I think we’re stuck with it, in spite of how arrogant that might sound to some people. It’s not an ego thing at all.
Welcome to our new reality, where smart and experienced people are seen as experts and leaders. It’s been very much not the case for a long time now, so it’s gonna be interesting, as the poseurs, psychopaths, and narcissists are unlikely to want to give up power. There’s nothing they can do about it really, but I’m sure they’ll try.
Oh yeah; you might find the World Economic Forum has a lot to do with spreading DEI bullshit everywhere.
I never thought my history of abuse and extreme emotional reactivity could ever actually come in handy, but dammit if that isn’t exact the thing that alerts me to danger and loopholes that sadistic and greedy people might take advantage of. When I found your Substack, that’s what I thought I recognized in your temperament and approach. You weren’t doing this for fame, or power. You *had* to speak up, the same way I did, in spite of not being popular with sociopaths.
Anyway, right on, brother. When the zombie apocalypse happens, I hope you don’t have too many softhearted idiots, hysterics, or rebellious teens in your group.
Thank you for recognizing that it's not about fame or power. That's exactly how I see it, though I realize that I would see it that way, as that's flattering to my ego. But I really do feel compelled to speak, as you do.
You really get this frame of mind, Justine. Not many do.
I understand worrying that you might not have 100% selfless intentions, too. As others have pointed out to me, the fact you’re aware of potential ego issues means you’re not in danger of becoming selfish. I actually think it’s possible that we can’t stop ourselves, but I have no way of testing that, of course.
I’ve never seen you neglect to own up to mistakes. I know it doesn’t feel like that means much right now, but that in itself is a skill that is in very short supply in our culture, in this moment in time. Truthful, straightforward people are about to become quite highly valued, across all fronts from politics to journalism to dentists to mechanics. Humans really don’t like being lied to, and we actually generally know when it’s happening, even if we can’t quite put a finger on it. We’re all paranoid but I don’t think we’ve realized that we’re exhausted from deceit being the standard mode of communication for so long.
We’re going to set this right. We’re doing it as we speak. The best thing that’s come from all this, for me, is the realization that we’re not alone. Thank you, Elon! Next time something unbelievably fucked up starts happening, it’s going to be much easier for us to hook up with each other and mobilize.
Please don't conflate sympathy for Palestinians with being "pro-Hamas". Most of those hundreds of thousands aren't Hamas supporters, they want justice for the (normal) people of Palestine, and are against the ethnic cleansing and potential genocide we are seeing right now in Gaza. Waving a Palestinian flag is not antisemitic or "pro-Hamas".
Some of them probably do; the vast majority are expressing their human horror at seeing the systematic opression of an entire group of people.
Palestinians have been oppressed for the last 75 years. There is a whole history. History didn't begin on October 7. People have been saying "Free Palestine" for at least 50 years. The Hamas attacks were a reminder of this oppression, a reminder that there is an ongoing military occupation of a whole people. Therefore, you are wrong to say people were "doing this "free palestine" immediately". That is wrong, people have been saying that for a long time.
Already 1 million Palestinians have been displaced. That is ethnic cleansing.
When Israel cuts off all fuel, water, electricity, food to the Gaza Strip, that is potential genocide. When you cut off everything people need to live and leave them with no options, you are endangering the lives of every single one of those people. If they all die of starvation, it will be Israel's fault. That would be genocide. Since Israel is withholding all of those things, preventing them from getting in, that is potential genocide.
When you indiscrimantely bomb hospitals, refugee camps, ambulances, whole neighborhoods where you know there are many women and children, you are saying that those humans lives don't matter. That is the road to genocide.
Right now, 10,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed by Israel in the last month, almost 10x the number killed on October 7. Where is your concern for them?
There are multiple politicans, including US Rep. Mast, who have said there are "no innocent civilians in Gaza". That is a prelude to genocide.
When you call a whole group of people "animals", that is dehumanization, which is a prelude to genocide. When you say you are going to "wipe somebody off the face of the earth" that is genocidal language. Likewise, "eliminate", "exterminate", "liquidate"...all genocidial language, which has been employed by people in the Israeli government in the last month.
Hamas has said such things about Israel, and that is also wrong. I am against war, genocide, and dehumanization. Period.
That is very specific.
Oh yeah, and one of the Israeli cabinet ministers suggested they might drop a nuke on Gaza. Can you get any more specific than that about the potential for genocide?
Nope. I'm not going to do this with you. You may not gloss over the indiscriminate rape and murder of civilians as if you had answered that part. No, sir.
Try someone else. Understand this: you will not get this by me. I'm not like the other people you are used to speaking with. I won't tolerate the maneuvering that you have become used to from other people.
Yes. I did put you on a timeout from commenting for 24 hours. Why? Oh, I know what you're telling other people. "He can't handle debate, he's a fraud!"
Nope. I want you to have to sit there and not be able to gabble on with your moral equivocation. Enjoy.
I have to say; even on substack most of the people I follow (right-wing) claimed that the ethnic cleansing of the kibbutz in Israel would result in Islamophobia. But so far I have just seen an emboldened release of frustration against poor Jews by Whites for actions of a small number of rich and typically atheist anti-Zionist millionaires. Coupled with more jihad
A Jewish man was killed in my town last Sunday during a protest, and it appears the perpetrator was a Muslim college professor. Mind you, this was in a conservative neighborhood with a strong Christian and Jewish presence.
I’m a third generation Californian, and it is making me sick and depressed to see the level of antisemitism that is happening here. Meanwhile, Newsom is busy doing his job making sure that parents don’t misgender their own children.
I hate that I have to leave this place. It’s home, but I no longer recognize it.

The madness you describe, is head-shaking.
The Islamophobia hate laws are meant to target Caucasian Westerners who dare to protest the New Normal. Watch who gets charged with hate crimes

How do you know that?
Why were people doing this "free palestine" immediately (IMMEDIATELY THAT DAY) on learning about the rapes and murders by Hamas?
What "potential genocide?"
Be specific. Make sure of that.
Likewise, how do you know they do support Hamas?
Some of them probably do; the vast majority are expressing their human horror at seeing the systematic opression of an entire group of people.

Nope. I want you to have to sit there and not be able to gabble on with your moral equivocation. Enjoy.
Nope. You may not speak here. Not because I "can't answer your challenge."
Because you're a moral disgrace, a liar, and a manipulator. You know that I now what you are. Seethe.

Christopher Hitchens is rolling in his grave... cursing his invention of their word but more importantly the fuct use of it and this BS agenda!! WTF!
