Here’s Chris Rufo and his podcast co-host addressing “the Indian question,” a reference to “the Jewish question.” That question was whether Jews could be incorporated into European society, and the Nazis were the ones who claimed to have developed the “final solution” to that “problem.”

He’s on a quest to live forever.
Mr. Emanuel’s morning routine involves waking up at 4 a.m., stretching for 40 minutes and then doing breath work, sauna, meditation, an ice plunge and infrared light therapy before ingesting a protein shake and a cup of live worms to fight off “the bad bacteria in my gut.” He describes a recent lunch with his old CAA boss, Michael Ovitz. Mr. Emanuel writes: “He goes to the gym; he thinks that means he’s taking care of himself. But it doesn’t. I scold him. He hasn’t gotten his blood work done in years, he isn’t doing ice plunges, he isn’t doing daily breath work, he isn’t fasting. And he needs to be eating worms.”

Tucker has peddled white supremacist, antidemocratic, eugenicist, sexist, and utterly fascist ideas for many, many years, and the moment he starts offering the fascist feint that just gets memory-holed, which I think says a lot about the people who are willing and eager to go along with this.

The National Post published an article defending the white nationalist Dominion Society because, they propose, 8% of Canadians *could,* "for argument's sake" support ethnic cleansing—meaning it's more popular than the NDP. They Included a legal argument but did not disclose the author was disbarred.
Polls have shown that roughly half of Canadians believe immigration levels are too high. Let’s say for argument’s sake that only eight per cent of Canadians support remigration, and 92 per cent oppose it. Should having only eight per cent support for your opinion mean losing your right to rent government-owned facilities, and to use public spaces like parks and sidewalks?

If yes, then no government facilities should be available for rental by the NDP, which garnered only 6.3 per cent of the popular vote in Canada’s most recent federal election. Almost 94 per cent of Canadians rejected the NDP in 2025. Yet the NDP is not disqualified from being able to exercise its Charter freedoms of expression, association and peaceful assembly.

Increasingly, the best way to explain to regular people how antisemites think about Judaism is not as a religion, but as a blood marker, which is really what they see every other identity though. The closest parallel to how antisemites see converts might be how society sees pretendians.

In July, Shopify Director David Heinemeier Hansson authored a blog post calling for the ethnic cleansing of Roma people from Denmark, referring to them only as "wolves," "vagrants," and by slurs. Haven't seen any Canadian news coverage yet. www.alilleybrinker.com/blog/1passwo...
These are two situations cut from the same cloth of ideology. Whether it's wolves or gypsies, you can't just let the problems get out of hand. You have to act. You have to protect the sheep. Standing idly by while your livestock is devoured by predators or your neighborhood is taken over by migrants is a pathetic abdication of any functioning society's most basic duty to its citizens.

When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them. This isn't hard, it isn't cruel. It's the basic logic of self-preservation.
About David Heinemeier Hansson

Made Basecamp and HEY for the underdogs as co-owner and CTO of 37signals. Created Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, Kamal, Omarchy. Wrote REWORK, It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work, and REMOTE. Won at Le Mans as a racing driver. Invested in Danish startups.Governance

Richard Hanania: The point of a game like Grand Theft Auto is to identify with the character.

By making a female character, the new game will be promoting autogynephilia.

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that, and if they make her bisexual then the game won’t necessarily be unhealthy.

If you read French, in my book La Terreur Masculinist, I mention how Douthat's (and others) opinion pieces shaped public discourse around masculinist terroristic violence by normalising their propaganda, thereby contributing in achieving the overall goal of masculinist radical milieus.
Parce que leurs revendications reposent sur un facteur malheureusement audible dans nos sociétés (la culture incel), et parce que ce seul élément a été évoqué dans la presse pour les identifier, après l’attaque de Toronto, des discussions absurdes par des économistes très en vue16 ont donné lieu à des débats sur la légalisation de l’achat des corps des femmes17 et la distribution de « sex bots » (robots anthropomorphiques sexuels), non pas pour proté- ger les femmes de la violence incel, mais pour minorer « la souffrance sexuelle» masculine. L’objectif des tactiques terroristes étant d’impulser un changement à l’échelle sociétale, par la mise à l’agenda de ces « solutions » miso- gynes pour prévenir les violences engendrées par une pré- tendue « misère sexuelle » qui ne serait que masculine, le but des incels est partiellement atteint.
