I hope that for the rest of Shapiro's life his rabbi, his bubbe, his mother & everyone else in his life point & say, "You did this. You."

And yes, the gates of tshuvah/repentance + repair are always open, but he's got a looot of work to do to grasp to the extent of the harm he's caused. A lot.

Fascinated how the guy who made superstars of Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson, and Michael Knowles thought that unfettered racism and every phobia in existence wouldn't eventually include anti-semitism

Ben Shapiro warns that conspiratorial right is taking over social media

I’m sick of RW govts trying to separate “the unions” from their members.

“The unions” can’t take strike actions without balloting members. “The unions” aren’t forcing members to strike; they can’t. Members are voting to strike, because of shite offers from this govt.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon blames unions for ongoing strike action

"I think people are getting sick of unions prioritising the politics over patients," Christopher Luxon says.

“Those frog costumes have got built-in optical lasers designed by Bill Gates”.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 10h

someone on the Internet who really wants to convince you to shine lasers at manned aircraft as a protest tactic “because they did it in Chile in 2019” is either:

1. a fascist fed, or,

2. so terminally stupid that they have become functionally indistinguishable from one

The next government will overturn this so farmers can’t really rely on it for long. But also they already know they need to start showing their green credentials to be able to internationally. The whole thing is just stupid.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

So the “protester” who broke Winston’s window was actually burgling his house? Maybe he should complain to the government about crime rates rather than falsely accusing the Greens. #NZPol

“Inland Revenue also did a systems upgrade [recently] so that the MyIR system more prominently shows any tax debt when people log in. I've heard some feedback that some people think it feels aggressive”.

Awww. Maybe pay your tax then? #NZPol
