My contrary take is that I respect Lindsey Graham more, not less, for not “living his truth” in a public way that required all of society to clap for him. Dude kept his private life private, it was none of our business. The right for the most part actually lives by the left’s false claim to not care what people do in their literal bedrooms. I only care if a guy makes it my problem and parade in assless chaps down Main St. in front of the kids.

Alexander Dugin tells SNEAKO why Islam is more widely accepted in Russia, even though Russia is a majority Christian nation ☪️🇷🇺 “Muslims lived in Russia for ages. They’ve been here for a long time. They were not brought from outside or reverted. We respect them very much and they fight for Russian interests. We have no reason to hate Islam. The most Islamic countries outside Russia are our political allies...”

the irony is that the more someone genuinely understands, the more aware they become of how much they don't know. this is why humility is such an important trait & why perhaps the clearest sign of intelligence is knowing where your understanding ends.

About a decade ago I became intrigued by the stupidity of the term “intersectionality”, at least as it was being used by left wing activists. It emerged out of critical legal studies, I reasoned, surely it couldn’t be completely retarded. I had access to my schools limitless supply of academic papers, so I decided to read a few, just to understand the genesis of the term, to see whether / how it was being misapplied in a seemingly anemic way after it filtered down from the law faculty to the low iq street hustlers and racial activists. I read the four most recent peer reviewed papers addressing the concept. Almost 100 pages of reading and thus far all I had learned was that intersectionality was a “travelling concept”. As far as I could tell this was something akin to the sisterhood of the travelling pants, wherein the way it fits, looks and functions depends entirely on which member of the sisterhood is in possession of it. Because I am nothing if not autistic, I then read the next previous four papers. And the next four. And the next four. . . . Eventually I worked my way back to Kimberlé Crenshaw’s OG paper that coined the term in the late eighties. By this point t it was almost a year later (I said I was autistic!), and I had by now ingested almost 100 published, peer reviewed academic papers on intersectionality. I have included two verbatim quotes straight from the horses mouth. Yes it’s really that retarded, no, there is nothing more to it. Yes LITERALLY EVERY LEFTIST THOUGHT TERMINATING BRAIN WORM IS LIKE THIS. They are not theories, they are WEAPONS. They cannot be anything but weaponised. All of leftism is this, ad infinitum.

Somehow, in certain quarters, it has come to be seen as a personal failing to devote one’s life to improving the world around you. It isn’t “downwardly mobile” to choose, after college, to be a teacher, a city councilor or an artist. It’s just a different kind of ambition.
