Yeah one day that judge could get over turned and get reprimanded (lol) but each year we have reasonable judges retiring and commie judges taking their place.
Every day that passes without a purge, the long march proceeds. Can we say it hasn't reached the head? The spine? The heart?
I will not interrupt Lindsay when he names the enemy. I will not interrupt him when he defines their evil in their own terms, laying out (and thus dispelling) their word-magic. These are worthwhile actions.
When he went after Torba and focused on Christian Nationalism, I recalled that he remains a Liberal. Even if he speaks against the Progressives, the Right cannot take direction from him. He is not one of us.
Lindsay will say the left has gone too far, but cannot name out where or how? Where did that precision go? He cannot say. This remains his ideological blind spot.
He is enemy of our enemy-- nothing more, nothing less.
For context, a youtube comment on the mistranslation of this line:
"@Kitchen_Sessions 3 years ago I just want to correct this daft notion that the chorus means "Oro you're welcome home." It means nothing of the sort. In spite of what Google translate may tell you. This version of the song is a call to action. A call to arms, to insurrection and to take back the land stolen by foreigners. Let me explain why. The full line of the chorus is: Óró. Is sé do bheatha abhaile (If you are speaking English you could say it as: "o ro iss shay do va-ha awal-ya" but a little bit quickly. Irish is a very contextual language. It depends what you say and when you say it. If you read "aimsire lahreach" in a grammar book, it's probably saying "present tense". If you see exactly the same thing on TV is probably means "weather report". See how different they are. It's the same with this song. "Óró" is grabbing your attention. My granny would often call "Oro a Dáithí". It means everything from "come here" "pay attention" "heads-up" "mind what you are doing" "look here" and so on. So she was saying: "Pay attention David".... So pay attention you... or just "heads-up"... Óró a thú ... The next word in the written version is the verb/copula: "Is" and it's missing from the song. That's common enough in Irish, because "everyone" knows it should be there. So the phrase should be "Is sé do".... It is your... beatha, (do bheatha). There is no English word for this. The nearest would be "livelihood" or "sustenance", even "heritage" - and all of them together. In this case I think it's OK to say it means "birth right". Now: bhaile is really: abhaile... Meaning "back home".So the whole phrase gets pronounced: o ro iss shay do va-ha awal-ya. But it's too long to fit the metre of the song so we get.: o ro shay do va awal-ya. And all that is quite ok in Irish. SO, THE LINE REALLY MEANS: Pay attention It's your birth-right back home. The last line of the chorus is especially important: To read it as "now that summer is coming" would be to misunderstand it. In agricultural Ireland, the summer is useless - unless you've already prepared "in the coming of the summer" in March and April. Which is exactly what the line says: Anois (now)... ar theacht (in the coming of)... an tsamhraidh (the summer). The song goes on to say something like "I was in a bar in some foreign lad when this woman began bemoaning me... Don't you know what's going on back home.... Your birth right is being stolen and sold to foreigners. Because although this is an old song, a little over 100years ago Patrick Pearse re-wrote it to support the planned rising (April 1916). There's nothing about "welcome home" in these lyrics (except for a bit about being more welcome than a hundred cows who were milking (and so especially valuable at a time when a man was considered rich if he had two cows). So to repeat myself, this version of the song is a call to action. A call to arms, insurrection and to take back the land stolen by foreigners."
This.
He's voicing leftist shibboleths as he negotiates with audible. No surprise there.
The Black Rider will toss him once he's finished fellating the gays.
The mainstream will use and spend him accordingly. He has his reward.
This is doctrinally correct, per the left's own position.
As argued in Lindsay's Oxford debate: Woke CANNOT ever go far enough.
tl;dr version: a grimdark IP marketed as a fallback from 40k has been overrun by woke tourists who immediately set to gatekeeping the people falling back from 40k.

The tweet is commentary which is best understood having seen the episode of their podcast.
You'd have to make congressional insider trading illegal again, too, which is (admittedly) implied by 'one income stream,' but needs to be explicitly enforced. You see a rich public servant (like Pelosi) and you have to wonder what she's sold to earn her money.
If you're going out anyway... "Witness me!" but with Testimony sounds like a good send-off.
My local comic book store overinvested in stocking Marvel and kept barely afloat by hosting Magic events. They were lefty, more libs than progressives. Lower key 'allies' rather than true believers.
A second store opened in the same building, and when they started hosting Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh, the first store went under. This store is just straight Geek shit, minimal politics.
If you can't support them, support their competitors.
Be the change.
You jest, but Kevin Conroy, the definitive voice of Batman, channeled anger over his treatment as an outed gay man into the role. That's where he drew his inspiration for the edge he voiced when Bruce Wayne put on the mask.
The difference is that Batman: the Animated Series was about Batman-- not queerness. These days, the mask has slipped and it's all about The Message.
I'll parrot Arch here. He was talking about Warhammer, but it applies more broadly:
Geekdom was never for everyone.
It was for anyone-- anyone who had passion for the material.
So now we have faux Geeks, who feigned interest to gain entry putting their politics first.
Me too.
That said, Elon is not 'our guy' and has his own set of incentives and motives as one of said oligarchs. He's also behind Grok AI, an OpenAI competitor.
The $64 question: is Elon just blocking a rival with lawfare while seeking to claim that space or seeking open source for other reasons? It's not altruism; he'll benefit. Open sourcing gets him access to a rival's codebase.
As someone who wants non-converged alternatives, an Elon win placing an open source version of AI in everyone's hands seems like a win.
Should we cheer?
My position is: we'll see.
Absolutely. Altman is positioned to be minted into the next tech oligarch. Which means most of what's going on with Elon & Google can be explained as competing oligarchs vying to suppress the emergence of competition.
