The world’s only one man media empire
The pyramid of marginalization pits one disadvantaged group against another and, in this case at least, the white people at Change.org ultimately decide who is deserving of representation whatever the historical facts or whether it’s actually cultural appropriation. Netflix’ upcoming Queen Cleopatra docuseries has been accompanied by a controversy that is perfectly illustrative of our… Continue reading Netflix’ Queen Cleopatra: One person’s cultural appropriation is another’s representation
The former President creates a media frenzy over the release of digital trading cards, earning scorn from both progressives and his reputed allies, except no one can really say why any of this deserves such media attention. This is especially true when President Trump simultaneously released a new free speech platform which the same people… Continue reading Donald Trump is crazy like a fox or otherwise
The recent anti-Musk rants studiously avoid the blatant censorship of The New York Post under false pretenses in the middle of an election, which should be the centerpiece of any reasoned concerns about free speech and the free exchange of ideas. Instead, propagandists vent their outrage at the messenger. The New York Post is the… Continue reading The Twitter Files: So-called journalists ignore the obvious threat to their own industry and the First Amendment
More and more experts are finally acknowledging the lockdown policies were a disaster. In a stunning turn of events, The Atlantic proclaims the need for a pandemic amnesty to reduce existing tensions, but conservatives are in no mood to forgive and forget without a reckoning of some kind. Last week, a leading proponent of coronavirus… Continue reading Coronavirus: Three conditions for a pandemic “amnesty”
It might be easy to dismiss Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s constant complaining and claims of victimhood were she not illustrative of the progressive movement in general, where even the highest of the high, including the President himself feigns powerlessness and pretends he’s merely a victim of events. Life is very difficult for progressive firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. We… Continue reading AOC: The progressive victim that roared
The mass shooting in Buffalo, NY is the result of the tragic failure of the state’s police, gun laws, and mental health system, but that hasn’t stopped President Joe Biden and his progressive allies from blaming mainstream Republicans and targeting your fundamental rights, politicking before the bodies are cold and lying about the shooter’s own… Continue reading The progressive assault on half of America is more dangerous than any lunatic shooter that shouldn’t have been on the streets in the first place
The Twitter board officially approves the sale to the world’s richest man, and the media responds by arguing openly for censorship, turning recently held positions regarding free speech upside down, claiming free speech is racist, and pretending there is transparency in the current social media content moderation regime. Sometimes, you think the media simply has… Continue reading Musk takes Twitter amid a media firestorm and the changing meanings of free speech
The NYC subway shooter’s social media profile revealed hundreds of anti-racist and other disturbing rants, where he argued the races should be separated and asked “black Jesus” to kill all white people. The media, however, thinks he’s anti-black, and no one has even bothered to ask how these inflammatory, racist posts made it past the… Continue reading The NYC subway shooter, the media, and the strange failure of content moderation
It’s long past time to resign the great Greek philosopher’s vision of government to the ash heap of history, and yet the establishment continues to cling to something eerily close to his vision of a guardian class empowered with the noble lie. Literally everything has changed since Plato’s day, but some things remain the same…… Continue reading Plato’s Republic and the persistence of the noble lie
The world’s richest man and self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist” is now the largest shareholder of the social media platform after haranguing it as a threat to democracy for limiting speech. This isn’t a purely academic point after the platform blatantly interfered in the 2020 election. In a more rational and fair world, Twitter would be… Continue reading Elon Musk: Are much needed changes coming to Twitter?
