What the hell happened in just the last 10 years? How did extreme wokeness on the left and the populist-nationalist right gain hold so quickly?

Yeah, I'm well aware of the constant whataboutism used by the right, but it's still shameful how many in the liberal media used a flagrant double standard to describe leftist protest violence. Also dangerous.

I'd be so triggered if Trump supporters started sending me 100's of these.

Guardian readers' editor seems to think there's a balance between freedom of expression vs respect for religion. Nope. You are free to respect religion all you want, but there can be no compromise on our freedom to criticise religion.

Call me stupid, but I think that in cases where white people are not the ones committing the violence it actually doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to blame it on ‘white supremacy’.

I admit I was skeptical that Trump had a case with his voter fraud claims. But that was until I saw Diamond and Silk were putting their reputations on the line to defend him.

I'm all for criticising white identity politics, but the left is arguably making it worse by trying to turn 'whiteness' into a thing (to be denounced of course). These are such incredibly dangerous concepts to play with.

Once again, NATO is a threat to Russia in the same way that an alarm system is a threat to burglars.

I don't actually doubt that religious people feel *genuine* pain when their religious beliefs are mocked. And yet, people outside of their religion are still under no obligation whatsoever to be respectful of their beliefs.
