And listening to Ahmed’s interview on RWN, it sounded like the argument being put to him was, “We can’t put our rabid dog back on the leash; it might bite *us*.” Which may have been correct, but it only begs the question as to what they were supporting with ‘no daylight’.

It certainly helps to avoid any embarrassment with our friends over the water, though there surely aren't any reasons that might be a factor, nor have we seen any evidence of that kind of behaviour recently.

Forgive me if I don't place much currency in the Prime Minister's confident assertions regarding Van Gang when hundreds of balaclava-clad football lads romping around on public transport have apparently been running rings around our intelligence services despite operating entirely out in the open.

Mamdani remains the best litmus test of anti-Zionism vs. Antisemitism. If you go after him for this, you're not an anti-Zionist, you're an antisemite. Mamdani has drawn a consistent line and stuck to it.

One of the more profound takeaways from Mahmoud’s book talk last week was when he said that his green card, which the Trump administration has been trying so desperately to revoke, was the first ID he had ever received in his life that had the word “permanent” on it.

Very embarrassing to make a declaration on rhetoric and intelligence and wind up revealing that, in this instance, you have neither, and even manage to call the morality you’d set aside into question.

Here’s the thing: I imagine it is easier to be a better ‘rhetorician’ when your entire schtick (broadly embraced and legitimised by your own political faction) is “I hate Jews, women, Jews, Black people, Jews, immigrants, and Jews,” as opposed to someone else with a far broader scope.

Thing is I’m on the fence about the whole ‘using Twitter will make you right-wing’ thing, though I obviously think the risk increases with frequent and continuous use. I do think we should also consider whether, ideology aside, doing so can make you fucking stupid.

i've levied this identical criticism verbatim at the right a million times over. it's not a unique take. it is however indicative of a certain type of "left lib intellectual" and their tendency to be far more ruthless to those to their left than their far right counterparts.

I'm sorry I said you weren't as smart as Nick Fuentes. That maybe went too far. I think he has greater powers of self expression than you, but that's bad thing, because I think you're the more morally and politically correct person. That's my only point.

As much as I detest Nick Fuentes, his analysis of the mainstream Right is often genuinely insightful.
The conservative movement runs on pure delusional idiocy but the sad task Vance and Gill have set up for themselves is irreconcilable beyon...

Will we now scrutinise Nigel Farage’s claim that Iranian sleeper agents are being smuggled into Britain via small boats—perhaps even interrogate what this might inform us about the entire function of rising xenophobia and Islamophobic racism in the UK—or will we swiftly move on? Place your bets.

The thing that gets me about wansee (the place) is that it is genuinely idyllic. Lake beaches and a quaint villa. Your brain doesn't compute that a human being saw this natural beauty and made arguably the worst order a human being has ever made. The dissonance was so bad I had to leave early
