Google adsense is the only profitable arm of the enterprise. If google sells chrome-- to whom? Microsoft? Meta? Amazon?
I don't want to engage in an argument about the 'devil you know' being trustworthy, because web manifest v3 proves google isn't. But when the DOJ talks about splitting off the fruits of the monopoly without striking the root... how realistic are their asks?
Obligatory "We're all far-right now" song
He's a heretic to the cult of the Cathedral. That's all this really means. The Left just screams scare words. They chose 'far right' because they think it will work on him. It's just like them scolding Christians using Jesus' name; it's them going to a power word-- nothing more.
Obligatory:
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat.

Yep.
Mentally ill theater kids doing performative victimhood in place actual of virtue.
You want to know why Romans and many other cultures thought of actors as worse than whores? Here we go, the prosecution's exhibit A.
He apologized to the Japanese; dogeza and all, before continuing his streams.
He lied to the judge in Japan, too, once he was arrested there. He claimed he wasn't getting money for doing his streams.
Then he did the same in Israel, before fleeing.
Now he's in Korea. May the consequences of his actions culturally enrich his life.
Eric July's Rippaverse & Rippasend come immediately to mind.
Vox Day's Arkhaven Comics & Castelia Books imprint are the quieter and longer-standing figure in the background.
Torba's Gab is similarly positioned in the social media space.
All three have been building infrastructure.
100% agree.
Leaving the left made me a better person and (after reconciling with Christ) a staunch ally of the right.
We don't all have the benefit of being born in to strong traditionalist families, especially in this day and age. Educational institutions are completely subverted, and it is all too common to grow while being indoctrinated into moral inversion. Converts from the left are inevitable, necessary, and should be encouraged. Personal journeys of conscience like Ana's are vitally necessary.
This isn't to say the right should import thought leaders from the left, or fail to observe and measure the depth of their individual conversions, by any means, but people like Ana have their place as testimonial speakers about the thought-bubble they were trapped in. Wherever she ends up after leaving the left, she should be applauded for getting out of the nihilistic trap she was in. May her journey and speaking of it help others in her old following to see the truth: that the Left has lied to them.
