I've been called a left-wing nutjob and a far-right extremist (the latter, more often in recent times), yet if I take the result of my "Political Compass" at face value, I would suspect that Authoritarian vs. Libertarian is often the larger ideological divide than Left vs. Right.

“Listen to the doctors/experts” just doesn’t hit like it used to bc the doctors/experts were shown time and time again to be ideologically cloistered, cronied up, censorious and wrong. There were docs/experts (and non-experts) who got it right and didn’t lie! I trust them.

Yes, @davidzweig got school openings and child masking right. The Ivy league, MD, MPH ignored what all of Europe was doing in realtime and got it wrong. But sure, use your credentials to pretend there was consensus among experts 🙄

Wokeism isn't dead until there are zero social and professional consequences for rejecting it.

The dystopian nightmare of state repression that US wokes dreamed up and are working tirelessly to inflict here is already in full bloom in the UK

DISGUSTING: A British man wrote on social media that he doesn’t want to see Palestinian flags all over the UK. The police then showed up to his house at 4am to arrest him. You can take over the streets of the UK, chant in support of terrorism, but be arrested if you oppose it.



What does being "anti-science" mean? To me, it means that consensus and popularity are held in higher regard than replication and reproduction. That uncomfortable topics are dodged using ad hominem attacks or (guilt by) association. That credentials matter more than evidence...

Despite years of progressives dismissing and mocking my political meme, a new Financial Times article just validated it with real data. Let's get into it a little. In April 2022, @elonmusk tweeted out a political meme I created several months earlier, making it go insanely…

The number of people who backstab and disavow friends, family, and coworkers over any slight diff in political opinion is sad. Especially when that certainty is based on such thin understanding of the world. Life is complex, assumptions are often incorrect. It's not worth it.

Regardless of who is confirmed as HHS Secretary, major change is coming to US healthcare soon. @RobertKennedyJr has tapped into a public sense, accelerated by the disastrous covid response, that US health institutions have been deeply corrupted by corporate interests, which are…

The cult of personality enjoyed by Fauci is really something.

Inglesby spent years talking about the dangers of gain-of-function research, but when a pandemic emerged near an NIH-supported lab in Wuhan, he said nothing. We’re going to hear a lot from COVID-era experts about necessary expertise, but nothing about necessary moral courage.

The divide is this: Old school Republicans still revere the institutions. Communists took over all the institutions. Both groups want the public to still revere the institutions. But institutional trust is earned. Not given. And it can be lost. And has been lost.

x.com/hstupak1/statu… It’s beginning. Please pay close attention to the use of emotional propaganda and subjective victimization masquerading as objectivism. Once you see it, you can see what is being planned for this winter or next to blame on the administrative change…

Have you ever watched a baby die of pertussis? I have. Several. This is what it looks like: A newborn baby can’t stop coughing. They can’t catch their breath and they can’t eat. They get dehydrated and stop peeing. They sometimes have pauses in their breathing. Parents are…

The era of the 'noble' lie in the service of public health is coming to an end. It should never have begun.


Make science science again.

This is where the conservatives lose me. There is separation of church and state for a reason - tax-payer funded Bibles have no more place in the classroom than LGBT+ flags.

BREAKING: Oklahoma announces Bibles in classrooms.

It’s become clear over the years that one sharp distinction between me and others of my cohort is that I have no emotional attachment to ‘vaccines’. That is, to me a (any) vaccine is just another kind of pharmaceutical stuff. Any given stuff called ‘a vaccine’ might do more…

There are 1000 documentaries, many of them award-winning, about literally everything RFK says about food additives and the evils of Big Pharma, and now the people who peddled this stuff for decades are pretending they had nothing to do with it.

Dear journalist friends, do you truly believe that anything you're writing at this moment is more important than this: sharing the image below is considered a criminal offense in Germany. What will it take for you to respond?
