Oregano is for savages IYKYK

We need to change the words people use, say left-leaning people across the West. But doing so is totalitarian. Behind the Left’s obsession with language & censorship is a pathological drive to control and pseudo-religions that treat the denial of reality as a moral imperative.

Wow. I can only assume she earned every penny that she took from taxpayers

Anonymous online accounts threaten democracy and must be banned, say politicians. But now, the Australian government wants to use anonymous "sock puppet" bot accounts as part of its broader push for sweeping online censorship. Terrifying, unprecedented, and Orwellian.

If the Australian government moves forward with a law that lets it create sock puppet accounts that can influence online debate among its own voters, it would basically be operationalizing the plan proposed years ago by the husband of our last USAID chief.

The censorship industrial complex is going on the offensive. New legislation being field tested in Australia would give the government the power to run AI bot networks/sock puppets, apparently to secretly influence & manipulate online debates. Creepy af. H/t @NAffects @MikeNayna

Good lord. Read the comments. People are so easily programmed by the TV.

Wow, I love this! Any other Les Mis tragics out there?

Hi @BillAckman — I’ve been reporting on the nexus between the anti-Israel, pro-Islamic Republic of Iran groups and the anti-tech protests for @FoxNews Digital. They are part of the network funded by Neville Roy Singham, the American-born founder of Thoughtworks, a tech company he sold in 2017 for $700+ million. I’ve identified $285 million he pumped into nonprofits now behind the street protests against the US, Israel and tech. This is reporting from earlier this year when the pro-China pro-communist, anti-Israel network targeted Palantir: As communist leaders in China oppose U.S.-Israeli military action against Iran, a pro-China network funded by Neville Roy Singham, a Marxist American tech tycoon based in Shanghai, is moving to sabotage America’s war footing against the Islamic Republic. A coalition of far-left organizations, including the Party for Socialism and Liberation, is planning a protest against Palantir Technologies’ new headquarters outside Miami on Tuesday. In recent years, Palantir has been working with the U.S. Defense Department in an initiative called Project Maven, which is using machine learning and artificial intelligence in military and intelligence operations. It's understood U.S. officials used intelligence from Project Maven in the recent military operation in Venezuela and also this weekend's joint U.S.-Israel strikes against Iran. The Party for Socialism and Liberation is part of a wider network funded by Singham that includes the People’s Forum, a New York-based "incubator" for far-left groups, including chapters of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, CodePink Women for Peace, co-founded by Singham's wife, Jodie Evans, and the ANSWER Coalition, which is led by self-described communists. While many media outlets continue to report these protests as "organic" and "grassroots," Fox News Digital investigations have chronicled that they are well-coordinated and well-funded as part of a wider anti-U.S. strategy in the Singham network. foxnews.com/us/network-funde…

Obviously it was the far right so we can fix it with more censorship and more taxes

This is fine

What’s a grand final?

What this Irish man says 👏. Leftists have destroyed everything worth having. They put their filthy hands on music, movies, culture itself, and it all turns to absolute shite.. Not a coincidence. That’s what they do.

My heart goes out to this woman

If you think there's an ongoing genocide in Gaza, you probably also think that transwomen are women. You believe untrue things so as to be fashionable

Most don't realise that Jacqui also suffers from brain damage after she attempted suicide in 2009 by walking in front of a car. Instead of going under - she rag dolled over - smashing her forehead on windscreen. Lambie takes meds for cognitive decline - in addition to strong pain killers. When an alcoholic mixes those chemicals & booze together - its a very dangerous place to be for both the alcoholic & her staff. When we reported these dangerous workplace conditions confidentially to PM Turnbull - hours later, the process to sack us for Serious Misconduct began. #Auspol26 @PaulineHansonOz

In response to the clip going around with the African lady saying 'WHAT WHITE CULTURE!?!' Because I can explain it in more detail than anyone else... here are the main things that create western civilisation. The principle, the law of nature that is an adaptation to and what operation it creates in our civilisation. THE WESTERN CIVILISATION STACK Western civilisation can be understood as a set of adaptations to the laws of nature that allow millions of people to cooperate, solve problems and innovate together. 1. SOVEREIGNTY — Let people act. Law of nature: Knowledge and ability are distributed among individuals. No ruler or institution can know everything everyone knows. Sovereignty gives people freedom to choose, experiment and solve problems for themselves. That creates millions of independent problem-solvers instead of waiting for one authority to find the answer. 2. RECIPROCITY — Don’t impose your costs on others. Law of nature: Cooperation survives when it benefits both sides. Freedom cannot mean freedom to steal, defraud, injure or force others to carry your costs. Reciprocity means pursuing your interests while respecting the same right in others. It turns conflict into cooperation and makes peaceful life among strangers possible. 3. RESPONSIBILITY — Make people accountable for consequences. Law of nature: Every action produces consequences. Freedom works when the person making a decision also bears responsibility for its results. When people can keep the benefits of their choices while forcing the costs onto others, cooperation breaks down. Responsibility reconnects choice with consequence. 4. PROPERTY — Make control and consequences clear. Law of nature: Resources are scarce and cannot satisfy every competing use at once. Property establishes who controls something, who may use or exchange it, and who bears the consequences of those decisions. That reduces conflict, encourages people to improve what they possess, and makes investment and long-term planning possible. 5. TRUTH — Correct error faster than reality punishes you for it. Law of nature: Reality does not change because we believe something false. Truthful testimony, open criticism and evidence allow people to discover mistakes before those mistakes become catastrophes. A civilisation that can criticize and correct itself can learn faster than one that protects comforting falsehoods. 6. CONTRACT — Make cooperation possible across time. Law of nature: Cooperation requires predictable future behaviour. Promises backed by reputation and law allow strangers to trust one another enough to cooperate. Contract lets one person invest today because another can credibly promise performance tomorrow. That makes enormous networks of specialization, trade and investment possible. 7. RULE OF LAW — Replace arbitrary power with predictable rules. Law of nature: People have conflicting interests, and power creates opportunities for predation. Law provides a common procedure for resolving disputes without violence or personal rule. When rulers and citizens are both constrained by known rules, people can cooperate, invest and experiment without constantly fearing arbitrary interference. 8. DUE PROCESS — Test accusations instead of trusting authority. Law of nature: Human beings are biased, mistaken and sometimes dishonest. An accusation is not proof. Evidence, defense, confrontation, impartial judgment and appeal create an adversarial process for discovering error. Due process protects both society from wrongdoing and individuals from arbitrary punishment. 9. DECENTRALISATION — Let many solutions compete. Law of nature: No one knows in advance which adaptation will work best. Families, firms, towns, institutions and governments can try different solutions to different problems. Failures can remain local while successful solutions spread. Decentralisation therefore turns society itself into a continuous experiment. 10. MARKETS — Let reality select among competing solutions. Law of nature: Evolution advances through variation, selection and retention. Markets allow people to try different products, services and ways of organising resources. People select among them through voluntary choice. Successful solutions attract resources; unsuccessful ones disappear or improve. Markets turn millions of choices into continuous social learning. 11. SPECIALISATION — Let differences become advantages. Law of nature: People differ in knowledge, ability, resources and circumstances. Instead of everyone doing everything badly, specialization lets people become exceptionally good at different things and exchange the results. Cooperation converts human differences from a source of conflict into a source of increasing productivity. 12. SCIENCE — Institutionalise error correction. Law of nature: A false model eventually fails when tested against reality. Science turns doubt into a productive institution: observe, propose, test, criticize, replicate and correct. Knowledge therefore does not have to depend upon authority or tradition. Every generation can discover where the previous generation was wrong and build upon what it got right. 13. CAPITAL — Preserve successful adaptations. Law of nature: Progress compounds only when successful adaptations survive. Tools, businesses, infrastructure, institutions and knowledge allow yesterday’s successful experiments to become tomorrow’s starting point. Each generation does not begin again from zero. It inherits accumulated solutions and adds another layer. 14. EDUCATION — Transfer accumulated knowledge between generations. Law of nature: Individuals die; knowledge does not have to. Writing, schools, apprenticeships and universities allow discoveries to survive their discoverers. Instead of every generation rediscovering mathematics, engineering, medicine and law, it begins with thousands of years of accumulated learning. 15. COMMONS — Build things that make everyone more capable. Law of nature: Cooperation can produce benefits no individual could produce alone. Courts, roads, standards, security, scientific knowledge, infrastructure and trustworthy institutions multiply everyone's ability to act. A successful civilisation does more than protect private interests: it continually creates shared capital that makes future cooperation cheaper and more productive. THE RESULT These principles form a system: Sovereignty creates experimentation. Reciprocity makes it peaceful. Responsibility makes it sustainable. Property makes interests clear. Truth corrects error. Contract creates trust across time. Law suppresses predation. Decentralisation preserves alternatives. Markets select successful solutions. Specialisation multiplies productivity. Science accelerates discovery. Capital preserves what works. Education transmits it. Commons multiply everyone's capabilities. That is the deeper logic of the Western stack: Stable rules + distributed freedom + relentless error correction = cooperation at scale and accelerating innovation.
