THE CHILLING EFFECT IS THE POINT. After @pornhub complied with the Louisiana antiporn law, traffic to the site dropped 80 PERCENT. And for every visitor that does verify, it costs them money. @xhamster experienced the same. These bills are designed to kill adult businesses.

This morning at Compact magazine: “Regime Change for America.” We have been governed for over a half-century by a Uniparty of Disorder. The popular uprising against the devastation they have wrought is a demand for order, stability, and balance.

Regime Change for America

Regime change is in the air. Few people today think of politics in terms of the mundane electoral issues of yesteryear. Every election now decides not the questions of “normal politics”—marginal tax...

“Truth-seeking” is of course a core priority of academic institutions. But when truths are known, they ought then to predominate. The left understands this. Christians - those who founded the likes of Princeton - once did as well.

There’s always the temptation to think there is some pure realm of free speech. But it does not exist. The question will always be, what are the boundaries within a given institution (or nation), and why? Those boundaries themselves can be debated, but they cannot be avoided.

Strategically what do Hamas hope to achieve? Asking this question is inseparable from asking what does Iran hope to achieve? They both abhor a two state solution, neither wants peace with Israel in any form & both want hegemony. Hamas over the Palestinian people, Iran regionally

I encourage subscribers to read the whole of this essay. I’ve been mulling these ideas for some months, particularly the notion that the great threat faced in America today is the deprivation of freedom. Rather, I think it is the deprivation of order.

He viewed such efforts as a threat to our “two-hundred-year-old tradition of tolerance, which recognizes that in a society of conflicting religious convictions, the state, through its politicians, should not choose between them.”

Time to write that long-contemplated essay on why the accusation of “Neo-Marxism” is a category mistake (a strange Marxism embraced by every corporation), and a desperate attempt by liberals who refuse to acknowledge that “Wokeism” is the end-station of their own tradition.

Right-liberalism has spent billions assembling a stable of “color-by-number” word arrangers. The first crayon they learn to use is labeling anything against “Muh Liberty” as “Progressivism.” You learn to color without ever having to think very hard at all!

The rise of right-wing progressivism

The post-liberal conservatives who disparage "right-liberalism" are unapologetic proponents of actual left-wing policies.
