Thomas Massie going after Nick Shirley 10000% reinforces my theory that he's controlled opposition

Also, Massie still ain't released those names he promised to release has he?

[gearboxpraexology]

Massie is controlled opposition, but not the journalist who did a ride-along with a former IDF administrator for Gaza?

[basedhighsenberg]

I did not know Shirley did that actually. Okay, they're both controlled opposition. Feel better?

[gearboxpraexology]

If you want to meet in the middle, how about we call Shirley a psyop and Massie hopelessly idealistic.

"Multiple agencies are at a church in the area of 5015 S 4620 W Kearns in Salt Lake City, Utah, a heavily gang ridden area of Salt Lake County. Reports advised 80+ people fighting and at least 2-3 people were shot during a funeral service for a young Tongan Crips member who was killed a few weeks ago. Ofa'tangikivaha Angilau, was shot by a hero civilian after Angilau was denied alcohol at a gas station and went and got a shotgun and tried to shoot up the store."

"His funeral, ironically, was expected to result in a shooting as police were already staged on scene. A shooting indeed occurred killing at least one and injuring an unknown number because they also fled from police. Another shooting occurred at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray Utah a short time later and the hospital is currently on lockdown. It is unconfirmed but likely that it is related. All schools in the Kearns area are also on lockdown.

This is the second Tongan funeral shooting in Utah at an LDS Ward in 2026. Another shooting occurred at a Tongan Crip gang funeral at an LDS Ward in Rose Park area of Salt Lake City in January killing two. The Tongan Crips are a transnational gang with a foothold in Utah."

You think this is a dunk but I cannot stress how if you are actually interested in convincing people your worldview is correct you gotta speak to them in their own language, even if you think its dumb. Nobody likes an uptight scold, even if they're objectively correct. Be cool and normal and defend your ideas as simply as possible and youll turn a lot more hearts and minds your way.

[odalismus]

big difference between "used big words because they make sense and are appropriate" and "used made-up bullshit jargon that was specifically made up so that obnoxious ivory-tower leftist nags could justify their bullshit academic jobs, gatekeep their own pretentious crap, and pretend that it makes them superior to do this."

the right wing intellectual class does exist, but its vocabulary has not been forced into the mainstream by narcissistic wokescolds trying to make themselves relevant, so you don't see it unless you go looking for it. have you? you criticize the idea of someone willingly engaging with ideas they may not agree with and doing the sisyphean work of trying to understand what the hell they're on about, when was the last time you gave ANY right wing literature the same fair shake?

99% of the crap terminology leftists disguise their lack of real substance with is just there to excuse paying some fat black womxn with no actual value to society a professorship salary to """educate""" the next generation of blue-haired useless eaters in a self-perpetuating cycle of nonsense. these leftists want nothing more than for you to ask "huh? wtf is homocapitalism? what do you mean you're queeralloromantic?" so that they can look smugly down on you and make themselves feel like their made-up identities and the ideologies they have made out of their complete non-experience with the real world make them better than some guy who just wants to know why California can afford to fund sex changes for illegals but not fix the potholes on his street.

Human monogamy in mammalian context

Abstract. Monogamy has been argued to have played an important role in human evolution and, across animals more generally, evolutionary tran

Ancient DNA of humans from all over Europe, as far as Anatolia and the Urals, shows that the occurrence of genetic full siblings, as opposed to half-siblings, are at levels expected of monogamous species, and far outside the expected range of non-monogamous ones.

Early neolithic Britain was the closest in the sample to non-monogamy, but still within rates expected of monogamous species (neolithic France was among the farthest, so not much of a regional pattern there). Paternal siblings predominated over maternal ones everywhere, too.

People who believe that monogamy is just a recently imposed social construct, or that humans are just as well-adapted to polyamory, have some explaining to do.

I think some of you people shouldn't be allowed to watch children's media. You're grown, start watching Interview With A Vampire or that Heated Rivalry show. You have options. Stop going to Disney movies and imagining what they'd be like with dicks touching.

With All Due Respect to the Experts

On the difficulty and importance of protecting the public square from the cult of expertise.

Yet another problem for our experts is that the source, nature, and relevance of their expertise is often ill-defined. A degreed professional like former First Lady Jill Biden might want to be called “Doctor,” but even those who accede will struggle to articulate just what kind of knowledge she has that the rest of us lack. What is the knowledge-how or knowledge-that accompanying a doctorate degree in educational leadership? Or take the world’s most famous diversity consultant, Robin DiAngelo, Ph.D., whose degree is in “Multicultural Education” and whose “area of research” is “Whiteness Studies and Critical Discourse Analysis.” On what field of propositions would we expect her to be an authoritative source and ask the typical non-expert to defer, setting aside his own judgment for hers? Even when expertise is genuine, disciplines and professions, along with their practitioners, seem determined to overextend its breadth for purposes of laundering their personal, non-expert opinions under their expert brand.

Historically it's been the privilege of the professional class to determine its members; lawyers decide who get to be lawyers, academics decide who get to be academics, but of course the implicit compact with society is that they can be trusted with that privilege

It was quite striking, and he's very insightful to point out that cartoon, the extent to which the 2016 election kind of revealed that for many people there is simply a certain class of people who are allowed to rule. All that "most qualified candidate in history" stuff was a stark demonstration and unwitting (?) admission that some people simply deserve power.

Still, though I have deep contempt for the laptop class in many ways, one thing that has never sat very well with me any time someone plies an argument like this is the implicit assumption that our society has managed to organize itself such that almost exactly 50% is completely vehemently utterly and fundamentally wrong about every thing that matters, and the other almost exactly 50% is pretty much reliable. It just seems so unlikely as to be impossible on its face.

Nevertheless I do agree and have observed, as have the rest of us, that would-be elites desperately want "elite" status (meaning credentials) to mean that their values and opinions should be given deference, not only within their own fields of so-called expertise but on pretty much any social question
