Why is it that no one says India is not diverse enough? or China? Or Singapore? Or Mali? Or Mexico etc? But Ireland, America, France, Italy, Canada & so on, all these majority white countries have to be diverse or there is something fundamentally wrong with them? So diversity is only needed if a society if majority white?

The problem with Twitter was always that people rarely retweeted anything, lest they "ruin" their page. It made some sense back when retweets were plastered between your own posts. Now they're tucked away in a separate tab, yet people still don't repost nearly enough. And the algorithm is so insanely skewed that it rarely works in anyone's favor, save for a select few. What I'm trying to say is: repost more of our shit. Nobody sees it anymore anyway.

It is outrageous that the state of NY is punishing the Amish community because their children are unvaccinated. They are using money as a weapon, trying to fine these communities into compliance. This is a blatant violation of the legal principle of “informed consent” which guarantees individuals the right to make informed decisions about medical interventions, particularly vaccines, without coercion or misinformation. Without this protection, you can be forced into anything by those in power, just like the Nazis did in WWII.  Read more about it on: icandecide.org
New York Democrats have declared WAR ON THE AMISH. Thanks to their unconstitutional attack on religion, they're now able to fine EACH unvaccinated Amish child $2,000 EVERY SINGLE DAY. ⠀ The $118,000 bill is one day, not the cap. Three one-room schools alone already owe that much for 59 children, at $2,000 each. ⠀ Health Commissioner Mary Bassett imposed it on December 15, 2022. She called the sum conservative because it assumed only one day out of compliance. ⠀ Dygert Road was billed $52,000 for 26 children. Pleasant View was billed $46,000 for 23. ⠀ Shady Lane was billed $20,000 for 10. ⠀ Footnote 9 of the Second Circuit opinion records the state's view. Each day an unvaccinated student attends is a fresh violation and a fresh $2,000 fine. ⠀ Another day for those 59 children is another $118,000. A 180-day year at that rate is about $21 million, and the families say they cannot pay the first bill. ⠀ Joseph Miller, Jonas Smucker, and Ezra Wengerd run the schools. The schools sit in Clymer and Heuvelton, plus the Canajoharie settlement, and take no public money. ⠀ They had a religious exemption for decades. On June 13, 2019, Democrats repealed it after measles spread through Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Rockland County. ⠀ Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill. Governor Kathy Hochul left it in force. ⠀ A parent may not excuse a child for faith. ⠀ Senator James Skoufis said the exemption was made up and fake. Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz called it utter garbage. ⠀ Counsel Aaron Siri told the New York Post the families can pay only if the state takes their land. Some in the community have talked of leaving the state. ⠀ The case is Miller versus McDonald. The Second Circuit ruled against them on June 30 in 2026. ⠀ A Supreme Court petition was due around September 28. Make sure EVERYONE sees this. If WE don't stand up for these incredible men and women - WHO WILL?!?!?! ⠀ Where is the “my body my choice crowd now”?

you should be asking yourself who benefits from spreading irrational fear of death from plague originating in Russia. Then you will understand who is behind the coordinated fear propaganda.

In a society with no rules, all guardrails removed, shame-free, sex-positive, birth control friendly, sex-educated since birth, all males sufficiently neutered and feminized so they are perceived as harmless, single-sex spaces eliminated, immediate gratification as primary motivation for all actions, porn-soaked, girls can do anything boys can do, girls encouraged to be just as "bad" as the boys can be and then we collectively pivot immediately to Jonathan Edwards-style puritanical fire and brimstone when they step out of the lines we erased decades ago and yet were still etched into all our brains because in fact those lines and guardrails are completely natural and sprang out of true understandings of the nature of youth and sex, but have been obscured by decades of absolute lies.

If a murderer survives a state execution, they get lifesaving care. If a baby survives an abortion attempt, they leave the baby to die on a surgical tray. We’re in dark times.
Unpopular opinion… If you survive a state execution. They should let you go.

Spot on!
Send the patient home. Wait until their lips turn blue. Bring them in, put them in a coma, put them on a ventilator, and watch nine out of ten of them die. That was the official protocol, set by the WHO, the UN, and the United States government. Meanwhile, the doctors who refused to follow it, the ones who kept the Hippocratic Oath and treated the patient in front of them with whatever actually worked, were getting twice the survival rate. And those are the doctors who lost their licenses. Every single one of them, shut down, for having the best outcomes in the world and refusing to stay quiet about it. What we're left with is a medical establishment that purged its best doctors to protect a protocol that was killing nine out of ten people who followed it. That isn't a mistake. That is the greatest medical fraud that has ever taken place.

Plastic recycling was an advertising campaign, and the man who ran the industry's own trade body has said so on the record. 1971. A television advert shows a Native American paddling through rubbish with one tear rolling down his cheek. People start pollution, it says, and people can stop it. It was paid for by Keep America Beautiful, a group founded by the companies making the cans and bottles. The actor was an Italian-American from Louisiana called Espera de Corti. Even the Indian was packaging. 1974. An industry insider tells his colleagues, in a speech, that there is serious doubt plastic recycling will ever pay for itself. 1988. The Society of the Plastics Industry launches the chasing arrows symbol and lobbies to have it stamped on the bottom of everything, including plastics nobody on Earth had any plan to recycle. Larry Thomas was president of that society. In 2020 he explained the thinking to NPR: if the public believes recycling is working, the public stops worrying about plastic. Selling recycling sold plastic. And it did. Production went from 2 million tonnes in 1950 to over 400 million. Of all the plastic ever made, 9% has been recycled. The rest is in the ground, the sea, the rain and, according to the surgeons, you. You have rinsed yoghurt pots for 30 years. You sorted, you flattened, you put the right bin out on the right Thursday, in the dark, in your dressing gown. You were the only part of the system that ever functioned. The little triangle of arrows on the bottom of the tub is the longest-running advert in history, and you have been washing it up.

My favorite part about election season is all the candidates and parties promising to fix the things they've already had plenty of time to fix. My second favorite part is all the people who keep believing it.

Doctor Makis put it in one line. Young adults walking in with stage 4 cancer and gone in months. He says almost nobody will admit they took the COVID mRNA shot, and even cancer doctors would rather die than say they were wrong. People see the funerals and still look away. The word “turbo” gets mocked so the pattern never has to be discussed. Ignoring it does not make the diagnoses stop.

I grieve the death of the high trust civilization in which I grew up.
Halfway through listening to all 32 hours of the Allison Inquiry. I can confidently say I will never take another vaccine for the rest of my life. And not because I'm an "anti-vaxxer white supremacist," but because of the clear deception and negligence in the mRNA campaign on the part of governments, media and healthcare officials. I will never be able to trust these people again.

Beginning tonight, September 9, two towering beams of light will rise from the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire, creating a dramatic tribute to the 25th anniversary of September 11. Known as The Honor Summit, the installation is inspired by the twin beams at Ground Zero and transforms the Northeast’s highest peak into a beacon of remembrance. . The beams will shine September 9, 10, 11 & 12, from 8 p.m. to midnight, extending roughly four and a half miles above Mount Washington’s 6,288-foot summit. In clear conditions, organizers estimate they could be visible from as far as 135 miles away, potentially reaching parts of Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts and beyond. . Created by Renee Plummer of the Granite Springs Foundation with support from New Hampshire and regional partners, The Honor Summit honors those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, as well as first responders, veterans and others who serve their communities. Visitors are encouraged to view the lights from surrounding communities rather than driving to the summit, taking a moment to look up, remember and reflect.

The banality of evil.
The phrase “the banality of evil,” coined by Hannah Arendt in her 1963 report on the trial of Adolf Eichmann, describes how enormous crimes can be carried out not by demonic villains or raging ideologues, but by ordinary, even mediocre people who stop thinking. Arendt portrayed Eichmann as a conscientious clerk of genocide: a man who followed orders, spoke in clichés, and never seriously asked himself what his actions meant for the human beings he was helping to destroy. Evil, on this account, does not always require profound wickedness or sadistic passion; it can emerge from thoughtlessness, careerism, and the unreflective habit of treating bureaucratic rules as sufficient justification. The scandal of the idea is that the most ordinary human capacities, conformity, compartmentalization, and the refusal to imagine another’s standpoint, can be enough to make mass murder possible.
