    Sadly, I am afraid Douglas Murray is right.

    There will be more HORRIBLE Islamist attacks in Western countries, equivalent to 10/7.

    Even then, leftists will not wake up from their lunatic support of Islamists and more mass immigration of Islamists. They just shrug and pretend it didn't happen, or blame "right-wing" people or "lack of effort to integrate these poor immigrants".

    But people are waking up to what is being done to them under the guise of "tolerance". "Don't be a bigot!"

    Guess what, it doesn't make you a bigot to want your children to grow up in safety and free from Islamist terror and indoctrination.

    i didnt say left wing policy positions cause civil war. I said a two tiered justice system does. Its about how the left abuses every executive and judicial branch institution against anyone who dares disagree with it. Destroying rule of law and oppressing political opposition leads to civil war. That being said, the left's illegal immigration policy to import voters will certainly lead to civil war. Hopefully a civil divorce comes instead.

    Let me get this straight: You're claiming that extreme right-wingers, despite having agency in decision-making, are left with no choice but to start a civil war because of left-wing leadership. And this is supposedly due to two different standards of law existing in every country?

    Can you explain what these two standards of law are in the United States that you are unhappy about?

    Also, if this is inevitable, when exactly do these right-wingers plan to initiate this civil war in the US?

    You mean a two tiered justice system that gives immunity to presidents and dismisses charges against him on specious reasons? You mean where a Republican governor pardons someone that killed someone on the streets of audience even though he was convicted in a fair trial by a jury of his peers?

    You mean after failing to reverse an election through legal means results to force and intimidation to try to reverse an election?

    Also for importing voters you know who the last president was that passed a major amnesty immigration act. It was a rapid Leftwinger but patron saint of the Right Ronald Reagan. He understood that not only is immigration good for this country that immigrants and their children would become
    Americans. The Republican Party at the time also believed it had a message of hope and opportunity that could win over immigrants whereas the current party just has messages of fear and despair.

    Musk just suspended UKGov. He is gearing up for this civil war. Silence the opposition.

    Musk is just a billionaire racist using his platform to spread his far right propaganda, lies, and psycho followers' garbage because he's one of them. It's his way of allowing the toxic extremists to spread their poison.

    All you do is spam the threads with your right wing social media tweets. Hypocrite. Most Americans don't share your right wing European beliefs thank God.

    I grew up "friends" with a sociopath. He never understood human emotions but wanted to. Some of the strange things Elon does make me think that he's attempting to understand people but can't figure it out.

    Are you still there naive child that thinks venture capitalists who's most impressive talent is pursuing other people with money (SBF's most important trait to his rapid success and fall) are genius scientists and engineers?

    Are you still in her world? Like you haven't grown out of it yet?

    Elon has a rare skillset that is based on his privileged upbringing that a lot of people like him and SBF pick up because they spent their adolescent life speaking to other wealthy people....


    They understand wealthy privileged people. Hence why they can convince other venture capitalists. But they don't understand normal people. It's a weird trait you only find in children of wealth. They just know how to talk to other wealthy people.

    Rogan is a moron. He mentions Soviet Russian thought police then compares current Russia vs England Tweet arrests. Implying that England is cracking down on thought crimes harder than the Soviet Union. It’s like he doesn’t know the Soviet Union fell and is a completely different country.

    For those who might claim that there is no precedent for this ...

    American propaganda of the Spanish–American War

    The Spanish–American War (April–August 1898) is considered to be both a turning point in the history of propaganda and the beginning of the practice of yellow journalism.

    It was the first conflict in which military action was precipitated by media involvement. The war grew out of U.S. interest in a fight for revolution between the Spanish military and citizens of their Cuban colony. American newspapers fanned the flames of interest in the war by fabricating atrocities which justified intervention in a number of Spanish colonies worldwide.

    Several forces within the United States were pushing for a war with Spain. Their tactics were wide-ranging and their goal was to engage the opinion of the American people in any way possible. Men such as William Randolph Hearst, the owner of the New York Journal was involved in a circulation war with Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World and saw the conflict as a way to sell papers. Many newspapers ran articles of a sensationalist nature and sent correspondents to Cuba to cover the war. Correspondents had to evade Spanish authorities; usually they were unable to get reliable news and relied heavily on informants for their stories. Many stories were derived from second or third hand accounts and were either elaborated, misrepresented or completely fabricated by journalists to enhance their dramatic effect. Theodore Roosevelt, who was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy at this time, wanted to use the conflict both to help heal the wounds still fresh from the American Civil War, and to increase the strength of the US Navy, while simultaneously establishing the United States as a presence on the world stage. Roosevelt put pressure on the United States Congress to come to the aid of the Cuban people. He emphasized Cuban weakness and femininity to justify the US's military intervention.

    Yeah, when you hear from his kids and former coworkers, that lines up. It's not like Trump, where he's not even trying or has never tried. You can genuinely sense that Elon is frustrated that he can't figure this empathy thing out, like, at all.

    Isn't he on the Autism spectrum? That could explain the struggle with empathy. It's not that uncommon.

    With Trump, it's just more of his sociopathic/psychopath mindset. He simply is incapable of really caring about anyone but himself. He sees his wives as trophies, and his voters and supporters as pawns.
