An acquired taste. NO DMs. History, books, football, food, film noir and reckless commas. Anti-Marxism.

I would like to hear from these “activists” how burning down a Chinese man’s restaurant and home helps in providing “better education”. Tell me, oh “moral and good heroes”.
🇫🇷 Chinese restaurant owner got his establishment burned down by rioters. He baracaded himself inside and sprayed perfume on rioters from his balcony earlier that day. Dude could have used a Sako TRG 42...but French gun laws...

Ma TL est remplie de gauchistes sincèrement surpris de découvrir que tout le monde les déteste. Et personne n'a plus rien à faire de leurs chouineries de sociopathes toxiques.
À Tours, des habitants ont organisé une chaîne humaine de 200 personnes pour témoigner leur solidarité aux…boutiques. Oui, oui. Ils nous ont fait un « soutien aux familles des vitrines » sauf que ce n’était pas du tout sarcastique. Les vitres > nos vies. Photo : Radio France.

College professor left completely stumped after @KaiSchwemmer started talking in Spanish after the professor said he welcomed mass migration. Schwemmer: Would it be an issue if every city spoke a different language? Professor: No. Schwemmer: "Entonces sería bastante difícil si estuviéramos hablando, entendernos, porque nosotros no podemos entender lo que estamos diciendo y no podemos alcanzar tener respeto mutuo." Brilliant. x.com/TPUSA/status/211261651…

Name an athlete whose real name is so good it sounds made up. Not a nickname, the actual name on the birth certificate. Any sport, any era.

China can do this because they have no labor unions, zero illegal immigration and ultra strict law and order in a state owned highly capitalist society, and they absolutely love how suicidal the western left is, which is why they play into it.

The NEU which is the largest education union in the UK just REJECTED the government’s key recommendations on antisemitism. Despicable but unsurprising given that their head Daniel Kebede shouted to “Globalise the Intifada” in 2021. This is a huge part of the problem.

Jehmima came to France from the Congo when she was 9 and is a business owner. She went on French TV to scold the champagne socialist Lola-Fleur who defended the rioters and looters on TV. Lola-Fleur mocked shop owners who had been looted, saying “your little shops, that’s cute”

For those who fantasise looters as great revolutionaries The revolutionaries of 1830, 1832 (the "Misérables") 1848 executed pillagers The insurgents even waived flags indicating "Respect for properties; death to thieves." Not your salon or twitter revolutionaries
Il y a un énorme malentendu sur la tradition révolutionnaire française, qu'on évoque dès qu'il y a aujourd'hui une voiture brûlée ou des boutiques Nike dévalisées comme si c'était une continuité historique. Les insurrections parisiennes au XIXe siècle n'étaient pas des moments de pillage débridé ! Les révolutionnaires de 1830 et 1848, notamment, n'aimaient pas les pilleurs et s'organisaient spontanément pour les mettre hors d'état de nuire. En 1830, Louis Blanc rapporte que "les propriétés, au mois de juillet, ne coururent (...) pas le moindre risque", décrit des surveillances spontanées autour des objets de valeur, et rapporte même que des voleurs, pris sur le fait, furent fusillés par les insurgés ; "le peuple se surveilla donc parfaitement lui-même". En février 1848 pendant la prise du Palais-Royal par la foule, Marie d'Agoult raconte que "des postes d'hommes du peuple (...) exerçaient une police rigoureuse à la sortie du palais, afin de prévenir ou de châtier toute tentative de vol". Des drapeaux portaient l'inscription anti-pillage "Respect aux propriétés ; mort aux voleurs". Il y eut bien sûr beaucoup de morts dans les affrontements entre l'armée et les insurgés, et des dégâts lors de la prise de bâtiments très symboliques comme les Tuileries (et encore, plus mesurés qu'on ne le pense, là aussi parce que les émeutiers s'organisèrent pour pouvoir par exemple rendre intactes à la Reine ses laines et ses soies à broder !). Mais le pillage pour le pillage, les destructions aléatoires, ne faisaient certainement pas partie de leur environnement. Louis Blanc, Histoire de dix ans, tome I, chapitre V (1842) Marie d'Agoult, Histoire de la Révolution de 1848, tome II, chapitre XXII.

A guy literally shot the pope, very notably wasn't beheaded, was visited and forgiven by the same pope, and later became a Christian himself
So if two people were caught having illicit sex in a church people will just look, laugh and pass? 🤔

Simply, We don’t tolerate religious extremists. Ideologues aren’t allowed to live among us. We banned the Muslim Brotherhood and every extremist organization😎
I wonder why all these Muslims are destroying cities in Europe... Yet if you go to Dubai, they all behave perfectly.
