That's it! That's everything X is in trouble for in Europe.
It's kind of a nothingburger. It is not about speech.
Anyone who tells you otherwise has something to sell.

It’s bad enough when Western European scholars with large followings make such crude, ahistorical generalisations about half of the continent; even worse when the call is coming from within the house.

When someone tells you complex societal challenges have simple answers, they're either stupid or hoping you are.
When they say those answers are more cruelty to a certain group, they're also evil and hoping you are.

I watched Yarvin’s Sheldonian lecture. What struck me is that he’s describing real institutional failures, but he completely misdiagnoses the cause. He treats “democracy” as the problem, when the actual collapse is upstream.
See also Curtis Yarvin's remarks in a recent Oxford lecture:
"Say what you want about MBS, he's quite an effective king I think in a lot of different ways. Um love the Ritz thing, the whole Saudi embassy thing, I don't know, but I mean he was a journalist". [Giggles]

Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners?
TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIAL: One of the criteria is making sure they can be assimilated easily into our country

We need to reset relations with Godzilla. Godzilla (currently destroying Amsterdam) must be a central pillar of any future European security framework.

Starlinks for Ukraine are paid for by the Polish Digitization Ministry at the cost of about $50 million per year.

These guys look at world full of suffering and injustice and get mad at aid workers and social welfare.

It even surprises me how these people fit so neatly into my model of information disorder, distrust that's radicalised by online communities that reinforce that sense of distrust.
