Bari Weiss attended a fundraiser last night in NYC, attendee tells me. There was an auction item for dinner with her and wife Nellie Bowles. Several people cheered in approval, many others said after how gross it was. Bari shouted out “And you can make out with Nellie!” It ultimately sold for $55k.

A cabal of pedophiles conspired to destroy the US government from within by seeding fascist ideas into online forums, spreading conspiracy theories about the opposition based on their own actions, and devised an alternative currency to upend the global economy. Now they run the US government and CBS

How are you supposed to explain to people how this entire social, political, and economic reality is entirely downstream from anime getting banned on some dipshit's forum 25ish years ago
So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

Ain’t I been telling you the reactionary backlash was driven by the very rich and powerful watching regular people use social media to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sex crimes, then watching him dragged sobbing to jail, unprotected by his enormous wealth? What do you think the cancel culture panic was.
