Words are not violence. When you pretend that views that oppose your own are violence, you are justifying the use of actual violence towards the speaker. Gender ideology’s reliance on tropes and slogans like ‘words are violence’, its constant rationalisation and justification of…

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe…

There were many problems with BLM, but the most important was that the movement’s claims weren’t true. The claim that police are more of a danger to black people than black criminality is a danger to black people isn’t true. The claim that white people are a greater danger to…

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry…

There are lots of people out there who honestly think you shouldn't have conversations with anyone you don't agree with, straight down the line, on every issue, and that doing so will contaminate you. This is one of the dumbest beliefs of this very dumb time in which we live.

I am enjoying the British Left suddenly becoming massively in favour of free speech. All it took was for their views to be censored. While it was the views of the majority of the country, they turned a blind eye at best and cheered it on and enabled it at worst. Some of us have…

A lot of people have asked me if I will get involved in the NYC mayor race by supporting a candidate that can defeat Zohran Mamdani. TBH, I’m torn and undecided. Like every other city run by democrats, NYC is a broken kleptocracy. Taxes are astronomical and services are pathetic…

Many countries that had a terrible 20th century are on track to have a great 21st century. And vice versa. Because history is running in reverse. Countries that fell to socialism and communism developed antibodies against ideology, and became nationalist and capitalist. After…

In light of recent open letters from academia and the arts criticising the UK's Supreme Court ruling on sex-based rights, it's possibly worth remembering that nobody sane believes, or has ever believed, that humans can change sex, or that binary sex isn't a material fact. These…

This 'why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?' line is, and always was, utterly ridiculous. Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. It's also caused irreparable physical…

They always talk about the wondrous "peaceful transfer of power" in the US between presidencies. But I'm not sure there have been many actual transfers of power in the US for quite a long time. (Maybe in 16.) They were more like shift changes. Rotations. Now, though, it feels…

DEI has placed an asterisk on the achievements of every black person and woman in a prestigious role. It’s caused those people and the public to reasonably doubt whether they earned their role by merit or agenda. This hurts black people, women, and public trust.

Look I don’t like trump either, but it is simply absurd to not grapple with the fact that an unpopular man was elected, spent his presidency unpopular, left office with an unpopular act, and then democrats so fucked everything up that he was elected again more popular than ever

The cover of this forthcoming book by @omarelakkad is not only aesthetically great, but also captures an idea that drives so much of our political discourse and the trajectory of our politics. It happens over and over and over.

"What’s happening in Canadian politics is not happening in a vacuum. It is a symptom of a much broader phenomenon. Call it the great crack-up of the old consensus. The old consensus held that immigration was an absolute good, with multiculturalism the end goal. Arguments…

In the 1970s the movies reflected what was going on in society. Mafia epics, paranoid thrillers, dramas of institutional criminality, and, at the end of the decade, reappraisals of the war in Vietnam. We have nothing like that now from Hollywood. We're adrift in juvenile fantasy.…
