The Pleb π¨π¦ on X - "The Edmonton Police are completely OUT OF CONTROL. They are now promoting their "report hate" snitch lines on the side of city busses. They are encouraging residents to report anyone that posts "Canada needs DEPORTATIONS" Mark Carney's Canada is legitimately insane"
Mario Zelaya on X - "EXCLUSIVE: it wasn’t just a post on X. The Edmonton Police is running a large scale marketing campaign. In different languages. So Canadians can rat out their neighbours, for hurting other people’s feelings, online. Canada is slowly following the UKs path, thanks to Carney"

Melanie In Saskatchewan on X - "It’s genuinely #pathetic how the same governments that screech endlessly about “diversity” turn into fragile, trembling wrecks the moment someone refuses to chant their approved slogans. While the rest of the world is busy laughing DEI, Net Zero, ESG, and the whole forced-conformity cult out of the room, Canada’s Liberals are too weak to defend any of it. So instead of debating or arguing their case, they just keep passing legislation so taxpayer funded police services can make social media posts about expanding snitch lines, treating disagreement like a crime and #FreeSpeech like a public health emergency that needs to be reported and managed. A strong democracy doesn’t beg citizens to police each other’s thoughts. It wins the debate. It doesn’t need to criminalize dissent because its ideas are too brittle to survive contact with reality. @MarkJCarney should learn this instead of being a wimp that lies to the people. When a government has to pass laws making it illegal to reject its preferred insanity, that isn’t moral authority. That’s the public admission that their entire ideology is so weak, so incoherent, and so unpersuasive that the only way to keep people in line is to outlaw disagreement itself. Free societies aren’t built by cowards who legislate consensus. They’re built by people who can handle being told their sacred ideas are garbage. #cdnpoli #CivilLiberties #Accountability #Democracy #FuckThisMadness"
Karla Treadway | Host Sovereign Sphere Podcast on X - "Someone needs to show @edmontonpolice the Rape Gang Inquiry. 250,000 girls were raped and trafficked for decades because woke cowards like this wouldn’t acknowledge that the vast majority of crimes were from Pakistani Muslims. Two tier justice allowed the criminals to walk. Obviously attacking a group of people without cause or hating a group of people simply because of their race is wrong. But pointing out obvious facts about crime or poor immigration policy is not hate and it’s certainly not racism. The more people push woke nonsense and DEI policies - the more hate you’re going to see because people are sick of this. Canadas “ministry of truth” needs to sit down. Free speech is necessary and we should always be able to express our concerns about crime and government policy without holding back “inconvenient” facts."

New Study on Republican, Democrat Tolerance Goes Viral: Science Shows Liberals Aren't So Open-Minded - "Temple University professor Jacob Shell posted a screenshot on X of an article headlined, “There is more diversity of thought on the political Right than on the political Left.” The subtitle declared, “Although they pride themselves on open-mindedness, liberal thinking actually coalesces around a very narrow set of opinion, whereas the Right diverges widely.”... they originate from a study published in the summer of 2023 called “Attitude networks as intergroup realities: Using network-modelling to research attitude-identity relationships in polarized political contexts.” The study noted that “the cluster reflecting the Democrat belief-system almost exclusively contained extreme attitudes as indicated by strong disagreement with each of the eight items,” including abortion, immigration, gun control, and gay marriage. But at the same time “the cluster reflecting the Republican belief-system contained a wider range of attitude responses ranging from mild disagreement to maximum agreement.” “Not only does the presented data suggest that Democrats embrace more extreme viewpoints on the selected issues compared with Republicans, but also that the Republican cluster includes some surprising issue positions that (under interval assumptions) might be assumed to fall into the Democrat cluster,” the study continued. For better or for worse, the researchers found that “normatively acceptable viewpoints for Republicans on gay marriage, abortion rights, and environmental protection through business regulation range from mild agreement to extreme disagreement, hence, providing a potential space for political negotiation.” But such diversity of views was much less prevalent among Democrats."
Time to denounce right wingers as dogmatic far right extremists
The cope is that Democrats have the gospel truth, so this proves that they are right, since they all believe in the truth, and reality has a left wing bias
Kangmin Lee | μ΄κ°λ―Ό on X - "The Left: "Conform or die."
The Right: "Let's debate what is right and true."
In other words,
The Left: "Water is wet and if you disagree we hate you."
The Right: "Is water wet or not? Let's discuss."
Btw this temperament on the right to flesh out ideas is good but the reason why the left always wins is because they just push their agenda through by force when they have influence and power without apology. Most of society and culture is downstream from whoever is in power & influence. It's almost always top down. Only when the right began to get fed up with the left and began to wield power unapologetically for what we know to be intuitively right & true have we had massive wins. Sometimes you don't really need to have huge debates to know that killing babies and putting children on puberty blockers is wrong. Anyone can try to use studies and evidence to justify moral insanity, so it's ok and a societal good to just need to keep pushing with bold conviction to crush evil and promote the good. But as a good-natured conservative, I will never burn bridges with anyone slightly to the left of me or even proud classical liberals as long as they engage in good faith. Tons of my mutuals are more liberal than me on certain issues but I'm ok with having them as friends :)"

Nick Timothy: ‘Multiculturalism has turned Britain into a country that doesn’t treat people equally’ - "Timothy believes multiculturalism, which has been promoted by the political class for decades, has given rise to communalism. He is not short of examples of it seeping into the wider criminal justice system. He says: “We know that the Crown Prosecution Service has appointed people who are known supporters of Hamas as advisers. “We know that in prisons, governors basically cut deals with so-called ‘emirs’, who are quite often terrorism offenders or serious violent criminals, and control of the prison wing is sometimes effectively handed over to them. “We know that the primacy of the law is being challenged by Sharia courts, and as a result, lots of women are left in highly vulnerable situations. “We know that the director of public prosecutions [DPP] is appealing against the decision to overturn the conviction of Hamit Coskun [who was originally convicted of a public order offence for burning a Koran]. The DPP is using public order legislation to criminalise protest against Islam and saying things that are offensive to Muslims. “We have to expose all of these things. We have to return to what had always been a very widely accepted view of how a country like Britain operates, which is that we’re all equal before the law... Timothy’s insistence on voicing concerns that other politicians shy away from has made him a target – he has been warned by police of a “credible” death threat against him. Its author is still at large. Given that two MPs have been murdered in the last decade, does this give him pause for thought? “People don’t want to say certain things,” he says, “because they think they might be physically attacked, and of course, it’s sobering to receive a death threat like that. “But I’m absolutely not going to back down, because I don’t think there’s any point seeking any kind of public office or leadership position and not having the character to say, ‘No, I’m standing up for what I believe to be right, and for our fundamental freedoms.’”... “The justice job is at the heart of so many of the problems and challenges the country faces. If the missions are a new economic model, restoring our sense of shared identity and radically changing the state, then the justice brief includes things that affect all three of those missions. “A lot of the problems we face as a country are to do with the construction of the Blairite state, and the Human Rights Act and the Equality Act acting as kind of superior level laws, which historically is antithetical to our constitution.”... Badenoch said in the past week that centrist ideas are no longer wanted in the Conservative Party, and Timothy could not agree more. Centrism, he says, “is a very convenient myth” for people who claim to be at the midpoint between the Right and Left, but, “If you understand where mainstream voters are coming from, and if you understand many of the problems that we have as a country, immigration being perhaps the most obvious example, I don’t think the answer is more and more liberalism.”"
They are celebrating the death of Rod Liddle on Bluesky, and it’s even worse than you think - "It was all so predictable. Within moments of the terrible news of Rod Liddle’s untimely death breaking, hot-fingered ghouls were taking to social media to besmirch his reputation and revel in his passing. Why? Because insulting the recently departed now seems to be an entry-level requirement for Left-wing activists. Spend more than a minute on X and there they are. Or, even worse, Bluesky, the social media site beloved by woke types who preach “Be Kind” while spewing nothing but hate. Those whose first response on hearing of Liddle’s death was to reach for a laughing emoji. Those who rushed to post pictures of champagne corks popping and drinks being poured... If the online celebrations are hard to stomach, then the insults are surely far worse. When did the announcement of someone’s death become an opportunity to dredge up their every past wrong? Yet this is what’s happened over the past 24 hours. Rod’s sins – real, exaggerated and entirely imagined – have been taken out and hand-washed in public. They are repeated, twisted and embellished. Rod, his haters insist, was Islamophobic, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, a hypocrite, and a misogynist. The bingo prize goes to one rainbow-flag-adorned Bluesky-er who managed to squeeze all of these labels into one denunciatory post. Most of those serving up the hate feel no need to hide behind a cloak of anonymity; they are proud to join the pile-on and defame the dead man’s legacy... The rage of the keyboard warriors stands in stark contrast to the target of their ire. Rod’s weapon of choice was humour. His satire was biting, yes, but my goodness, it was also funny. And in real life, Rod was kind and generous... Sadly, abusing the dead and taking pleasure in their demise is now a pastime for some. We saw it just a couple of weeks ago when Ann Widdecombe’s horrific murder was similarly celebrated on social media. Among those dishing dirt was Heather Herbert, a transgender University of Aberdeen employee, who described her killing as “good news”, before adding his hope that it had been an “extremely painful death”. Charlie Kirk had not even been declared dead before George Abaraonye, the president-elect of the Oxford Union, took to Instagram to express his utter delight: “Charlie Kirk got shot loool.” (A post for which he later apologised.)... In every instance, those being insulted are on the Right. (Or, in Rod’s case, perceived to be. He was a long-standing member of the Labour Party, before joining the Social Democratic Party in more recent years.) And those dancing on people’s graves are on the Left. They are so stuffed-full with a sense of their own moral superiority that they feel liberated to say the most despicable things. But if hurling abuse at the recently deceased and rejoicing in their death is what it means to be Left-wing today, then their cause is truly ugly indeed."
If the police keep chasing journalists, they don’t deserve more money – or our support - "the villains here are the police chiefs desperate to burnish their progressive credentials, all too aware that being politically on-message is a surer route to advancement and recognition than solving crime. Their own officers regard them as little more than politicians with laurel wreath epaulettes, but the real damage they do is to public confidence in the constabulary... It is no exaggeration to say that the Met’s conduct in this matter was an open assault by the police on the freedom of the press. Had a similar investigation taken place in most other Western democracies, the commissioner would be clearing his desk right now. Britain’s tradition is one of policing by consent, but consent requires trust, and trust is crumbling. While that continues to be ignored, and police continue to err as seriously as they did in this case, policing edges ever closer to a crisis of legitimacy."

What Is the Point of Anthropology? - by Robert lynch - "I started graduate school in 2006. Like a lot of anthropology departments at the time, Rutgers was split between the biological anthropologists and cultural anthropologists. Although we were all supposedly in the same department and required to take some of the same classes, it was like putting the math and the art departments together—except they hated each other... I was already used to the massive differences between the two wings of anthropology, and familiar with the jargon employed by the cultural wing (embodied subjectivity, intersectionality, structural violence, hegemonic knowledge production), but I was still taken aback when the cultural anthropology students went up one after the other and explained what they were going to find. Not what they were hoping to understand, or learn, or test, or discover, but what they were going to find... There were no questions. No hypotheses. No data to be collected, let alone analysed. There were claims about arguments being “based on the ethnographic evidence”, but no evidence was ever presented. Conclusions were drawn from a series of assertions. It sounded like they weren’t interested in actually learning anything at all. Why, I wondered, were they bothering with this field at all? I had been trained to always ask, “What’s the evidence?” My advisor would never let me get away with vague bullshit about what “the research says” or what “studies show”. If I tried to handwave with that kind of thing, he would immediately interrupt me and ask: “Which studies?” He wouldn’t even give the result of a paper without explaining its methodology. Instead of saying that an Implicit Association Test (IAT) was a measure of unconscious biases, for instance, he would spend eight minutes explaining exactly what was being measured—how quickly people categorise words and pictures associated with black people and white people. This insistence on method and the integrity of data could be exhausting, but it was a discipline I never forgot. He actually wanted to know the answers to questions because he was authentically curious. The idea that people might hold different beliefs, and that data could adjudicate between these beliefs, was as foreign to my cultural anthropology classmates as examining semiotic post-textual theory was to me... that’s what anthropologists did in the 1960s and ’70s. They asked the most interesting questions they could think of about people and their cultures, then they conducted field work in an attempt to answer them. Today, asking those same questions can get you labelled a racist or colonialist, and studying small-scale societies at all is dismissed as cultural voyeurism. What are universities for? They used to be places where humans would search for truth. “It is well worth searching for truth,” the philosopher Karl Popper once remarked; “and we do this chiefly by searching for mistakes, so that we have to correct them.” My cultural anthropology classmates believed that people like Chagnon, Trivers, and Popper had it backwards. Truth is not an empirical matter of correct or incorrect, it is a moral matter of right and wrong. Objective truths cannot be sought, relative truths can only be defended. And those who demand empirical support for assertions are attempting to destabilise moral truths, usually in the interests of some powerful interest or other. Carolyn Rouse is the president of the American Anthropological Association (AAA). Earlier this year, a Chronicle of Higher Education reporter offered her the chance to respond to a report that alleged an extreme politicisation of anthropology. The authors of that report found “a widespread deterioration in scholarly standards grounded in a pervasive repudiation of ideals of objectivity together with a toxic intellectual climate in which reasonable dissent on politically charged topics is routinely suppressed and punished.”... Rather than reckon with these findings, Rouse doubled down on the very claims the report had flagged as most absurd. No criticism that I could offer—not this essay, not the report itself—was as damning as simply letting the discipline’s most prominent member speak for herself. In 2023, her organisation cancelled a panel discussion at its annual conference about the importance of biological sex as an analytic category in anthropology on the grounds that it might have harmed members’ “safety and dignity”, and that its premise contradicted “settled science”... Rouse goes on to call the belief that biological sex is binary “nonsensical” while admitting, in the next sentence, that she doesn’t actually know what people mean by the claim, or “why that matters to people so much”. The whole thing, she says, is “very strange”. The field of anthropology was built to understand unfamiliar beliefs and worldviews, but here was its president dismissing one of the most widely held convictions in human history as “nonsensical.”"
Jamie Sarkonak on X - "An American woman was caught with 4.5 kilos of coke at the Toronto airport + was recently sentenced to 6 years. What makes the case interesting is this: the judge said the woman had lower "moral blameworthiness" because of anti-Black racism ... but presented no evidence for it!
In his decision, the judge didn't mention a single instance of the woman experiencing racism. He merely found that she grew up in a rough area (Blood territory in California) and was disadvantaged by that. The cause of all this, he asserted in a logical leap, was racism. In Canadian judicial circles, this is considered intelligent analysis."

Australian Jewish Association questions AFP response to alleged firebomb threat | The Australian - "A Jewish group has questioned the Australian Federal Police’s decision to file away and not take further action over a threat it received regarding the firebombing of its office from an unknown sender who called the organisation “filthy f. king jews”. The Australian Jewish Association received an email on Monday last week that said: “Hey whats up. Hope you guys have a wonderful day and i hope mine is as wonderful when your f. king offices get firebombed you filthy f. king jews”. AJA president Robert Gregory reported the email that same day to the AFP, which, in its response two days later, said the comment did not amount to a direct threat and was not offensive enough to reach the threshold for an offence under commonwealth law."... “A strong theme emerging from the royal commission hearings has been that threats should be taken seriously without waiting for them to escalate.”... the AJA said its staff were frequently subject to abuse, intimidation and threats, including death threats. In one example, underneath a social media post announcing Mr Gregory had become a father to a baby girl, a commenter wrote, “until we Aussies inevitably put all your genocidal kind in next gen gas chambers”. The AJA in its submission also said it regularly engaged armed security personnel for its events at significant cost."
