@TimRiceDC Would you have the same attitude towards leftist types desecrating a church? Why should a story that intentionally glorifies God abstractly have less importance than a space that does so physically?

@Yayay82827 @QuantaCuraProt I understand the point you’re trying to make but I don’t think it equivocates to God. God created man and allows for the opportunity for good to instantiate through choice. If God applied absolute force against all evil, no opportunity for good could exist, and thus nothing would

The math behind this is actually really fascinating, and it explains why the Left has to rely so much on institutional capture and mass migration to remain alive. The children of Liberals adopt their worldview 89% of the time, while Conservatives see their kids adopt theirs 81% of the time. But this advantage on the Left is dwarfed by the fact that they’re essentially an anti-catalyst movement. We know that women have kids at a higher rate than men across the board, but Conservative men have kids at a higher rate than even Liberal women. This means that ~59% of Conservatives become parents, while just ~31% of Liberals do. That’s almost a 2X fertility advantage. And when you multiply those numbers by the ideological detainment rate on both sides, you see that: 59% x .81 = 47.8 31% x .89 = 27.6 So that rounds to a minimum of 48 Conservative-aligned children per 100 Conservative adults, compared to a minimum of just 28 Liberal-aligned children per 100 Liberal adults. Conservatives are reproducing their worldview at ~70% higher rate per adult than liberals. And this is a minimum estimate because all our math here assumes that both the Conservable and Liberal families had only one kid, but we know Conservatives on average have much larger families. The Left can’t compete with this organically, so they have to essentially steal the children of Conservatives through the education and media system (which they’ve all ideologically hijacked) and import new voters who will make up for their own collapsing birthrates. If you ended all immigration and dismantled their dominance over education, the Left would be extinct in 20 years.

@matthewschmitz So when does the class action lawsuit start where I can get my application fees back from institutions that were never even going to consider us?

The last few weeks have made it clear to me, what we are seeing out of the far-left is the logical conclusion of the moral relativist’s argument. When you can’t possibly recognize your side as being wrong you must correct other’s views with violence.

A humble rant about free speech, Charlie Kirk, & 'cancel culture' There's so much confusion about free speech in America -- because there are two different forms of it. There's 'constitutional free speech', to prevent gov't tyranny through censorship, as codified formally in 230+ years of constitutional law around the First Amendment. Then there's 'cultural free speech' -- a set of informal cultural norms, traditions, and practices to encourage people to express their true beliefs & values to each other, without fear of reprisals, ostracism, or other non-gov't forms of punishment. Constitutional free speech is grounded in clear rights, laws, precedents, & principles, centered around retraining gov't from meddling in public discourse. We should strongly protect constitutional free speech, and be very wary of gov't censorship -- whether directly, or through gov't collusion with Big Tech, social media, or AI companies. However, cultural free speech is much more complicated, nuanced, and subject to renegotiation -- which is what we've been seeing over the last ten years, and especially in the last week. Civilized people accept thousands of informal restraints on cultural free speech. For example, we use the power of informal social rewards and punishments to discourage - kids from lying - spouses from dissing each other - journalists from acting like propagandists - teachers from indoctrinating students - companies from violating traditions and trust - people from burning our flag - sociopathic trolling on social media - comedians from making false & incendiary claims - politicians from demonizing their opponents to incite political violence among their supporters All of these are restraints on 'cultural free speech', and they could be seen as micro-versions of 'cancel culture', but they're widely supported, and they're not directly related to gov't censorship or First Amendment law. Yes, the First Amendment helps establish and reinforce the social norms around cultural free speech, and cultural free speech helps reinforce the willingness of citizens, politicians, & judges to protect our First Amendment rights. But I see a lot of people, on both Left and Right, confusing the two forms of our civilization's commitment to free speech. The tricky thing about cultural free speech is that it requires a high degree of public consensus and social trust. It requires political partisans to respect some basic grounds rules when dealing with each other, including a degree of mutual respect and civility. It requires a mutual détente that minimizes the use of 'cancel culture' tactics. Those ground rules around cultural free speech were seriously damaged by the Left's response to Trump's rise in 2016, by their treatment of fellow citizens during the Covid pandemic in 2020-2023, and by their demonization of everyone on the Right, for the last 10 years, as 'fascists', 'racists', 'sexists', 'Islamophobes', 'transphobes', & 'existential threats to democracy'. And the assassination of Charlie Kirk last week has utterly nuked the ground rules around cultural free speech in America. Leading Leftists repeatedly incited the assassination of the Right's leading advocate for cultural free speech, and then millions of Leftists celebrated, condoned, and defended his assassination, and demonized his views after his death. So, the Right is no longer willing to 'play nice' with the Left. That's what we're seeing. Not an attack on the First Amendment. But a long-overdue renegotiation between Left and Right of the norms and practices around cultural free speech. Given these special circumstances, and what they have revealed about the Left's true beliefs, values, and goals, many of the previous civilized norms around cultural free speech have been suspended. The burden is on the Left to apologize -- publicly, repeatedly, & profusely, with genuine remorse -- for their decade-long attacks on cultural free speech. If the Left can take a good hard look in the mirror, do some serious soul-searching, and tone down its rhetoric for the next few years, then maybe -- just maybe -- the Right can eventually forgive them, and we can re-establish a stronger, better, more honorable form of cultural free speech in America for the coming decades. Until then, the Right should still vigorously support and defend constitutional free speech. But there is no compelling reason for the Right to continue to respect norms of cultural free speech that the Left abandoned ten years ago.

The national media being more upset at Jimmy Kimmel losing his show than they are Charlie Kirk losing his life is kind of proving the point.

This is a must watch.

It’s all about Jesus.

All I have to say today is don’t let this break you. They can’t stop you. Get involved in your church. Get involved in your community. Get out there and make the world a better place just like Charlie Kirk did. Fight their horrid evil with abundant good.

The Age of Self-Esteem For this patron video, I explore the modern idea of self-esteem—where it came from, how it shapes our culture, and why it so often leads us into confusion and disorder. I contrast this with the Christian vision of humility, which offers a path to true freedom and joy.

@unusual_whales Targeting civilians reveals their fear and their tyranny. Cowards prefer soft targets because they can’t win against one that fights back.

If THIS is what the Iranian regime does to their own children, what would they do to Israel with nukes?

@signulll It’s his same approach to X (then Twitter), SpaceX, and Tesla, but it isn’t life threatening to blow up an empty rocket or not make an electric car in time. However, when it comes to the government, if something is needed and they don’t get it in time it will have consequences.
