Give up the First Amendment talk, "free speech" has been dead on college campuses for 20 years or more.. It has just become a Big Deal now because for once, it is a Left wing cause ("Free Palestine"/pro-Hamas) that is getting it's wings clipped, and even that is being exaggerated. Conservatives have been getting excluded/shouted down/attacked for decades on campus with nary a peep... but now that the antisemites are being squeezed, we're supposed to think it's a crisis. Bunk.
Defund, dismantle, and re-invent higher education--Now.
The actual semites are experiencing a holocaust as we speak. Thats why DNA testing has been outlawed in Israel. Conservatives were very adamant about free speech when the subject was chicks with dicks or gender affirmation for kindergarten students. You were a snowflake if someone said something that you didn’t like and acted like a bitch. ‘Member? I ‘member
Chants of "Globalize the Intifada," carrying signs showing images of age-old blood libels against the Jews, celebration of Hamas and Hezbollah "martyrs," are more celebrating genocidal intent than protesting it.
Unlike you, I know my history, which did not, actually, begin in the 1940s. There were Jews in Palestine thousands of years before Muhammad's great-grandfather was a twinkle in his sire's eye.
And under Muhammad, in many cases, "men of a Book," which included Jews and Christians as well as Muslims, lived at peace.
I suspect the prophet would not be well pleased with a good number of his followers today.
"The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG), or the Genocide Convention, is an international treaty that criminalizes genocide and obligates state parties to pursue the enforcement of its prohibition. It was the first legal instrument to codify genocide as a crime and the first human rights treaty unanimously adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 9 December 1948, during the third session of the United Nations General Assembly. The Convention entered into force on 12 January 1951 and has 153 state parties as of February 2025."
"The Convention defines genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group." These five acts include killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.[6] The convention further criminalizes "complicity, attempt, or incitement of its commission." Member states are prohibited from engaging in genocide and obligated to pursue the enforcement of this prohibition. All perpetrators are to be tried regardless of whether they are private individuals, public officials, or political leaders with sovereign immunity."
Indeed. Therefore, we agree that targeting terrorists as such is not genocide, even if said terrorists insist upon using their more peaceable co-religious as human shields.
Unless, of course, one considers terrorists as a group which may not be targeted without genocidal intent.
That, of course, is an excellent question. But I am afraid that a lot of the pro-Muslim terrorism protests have a great deal to do with simple Jew-hatred. It's real, been around for a very long time, and we never seem to quite get rid of it, sadly for everyone.
No, I am not Jewish, but I did grow up in NYC, and at my elementary school, Gentiles were the minority.
Are Matt and Walter finally going to discuss Jay Bhattacharya (their mutual friend as claimed on this show) using NIH to censor critics of Israel? Of threatening to pull funding from research on terminal illnesses in children if the researchers don’t pledge to never boycott Israel?
How about the D.C. Trump prosecutor who’s trying to revoke the non-profit status of Wikipedia over alleged foreign actors unfavorably editing the site with information conflicting with U.S. foreign policy (content critical of the Israeli genocide of Gaza.)
You two thinking about discussing this or am I again filled with a false hope?
Apparently not. Even if Matt was to try to broach these multiple examples of the administration violating the 1st Amendment on behalf of Israel, he wouldn’t get more than 2 words out before Walter interrupts him to change the subject and/or defend the administration. Another independent media show that is failing to demonstrate consistency in their purported principles.
They will never criticize anyone in the Trump administration. They support Trump ending democracy and eagerly await Trump formally making himself dictator.
I believe that a non-partisan media watchdog revealed that the three US Government licensed Television Networks produced 92% negative coverage of the President, plus the NYTs, WAPO, Chicago Tribune, LA Times who are completely allergic to one even handed report on him must provide some solace to your malicious heart?
The coverage of Trûmp is accurate. His policies are all catastrophic ànd he is a smelly moron who can’t speak one coherent sentence. You are so deluded that you see the facts about Trûmp as insults. He is an idiot ànd is destroying everything good, decent, and beautiful.
Oh, no. I intend to stay here ànd remind you of every Trûmp failure ànd face plant, every crime ànd atrocity, every idiocy ànd petty nonsense he shits out of his orange pie hole. I will rub your face in Trûmp shit until you cry ànd vomit. You like liberal tears? Trumper screams are my only joy ànd I want to hear them forever.
Wow, not a Bhaytacharya fan but for him to politicize NIH goes too far or is this just a continuation of its role in our society to be an arm of the military government not here to serve humanity the citizens of USA. B man’s stance reflects my sense that he was always a shill for the DoD and the government see him pushing vax for elderly while not disclosing he was a tenured professor at Stanford who focused on the economics of health care. Why else would he push vax on vulnerable elders and help them die from Covid and its lethal treatments thus contributing to culling of the population - CIA hot bed found at Stanford. Do not be fooled by this gentle speaking psychopath who kills the
masses on behalf of Zionist US government via NIH policies.
Bhattachary - controlled opposition - a term I learned during covid but had a hard time recalling today- a term I used a lot during height of Covid for immediate experts that appeared magically during Covid to inculcate us with their version of reality - people like Malone, Kirsch, Kory and eventually Bhattachary and Kennedy- people who now created their own Foundations or Mc Cullough and The Wellness Company and his then his own foundation see “public service announcement” of him touting his company and foundation on Wall Street surrounded by gorgeous women/ oh my. I became convinced that these people
are deep state operatives or neocons or CIA or DoD operatives that play both sides- I had to read their columns consistently before I realized this was what ,controlled opposition sounded like and acted like and why they were always at the forefront of the conversation in and on multiple venues.
We were played they are still
playing many - now I trust fewer snd fewer cause they no longer have credibility. Read everyone with discernment- when Walter and Matt call Battacharya their friend question why? Do they even know him or did his slick soft spoken unctiousness win them over? How do they know him?
consistently but gradually realized their role in dis/mis/mal
Information - then deleted their posts- then today when listening to a podcast and hearing how much USA pays to
produce propaganda not just in USA but around the world realized that everything we are told must be verified or dismissed unless you have vetted the spice thoroughly which is no easy task.
“On April 21, the NIH released a notice stating that recipients of NIH grants or other funding must refrain from engaging in “a discriminatory prohibited boycott” against Israel. Specifically, recipients cannot refuse to deal with or limit commercial relations with Israeli companies or companies affiliated with Israel.”
Thank you for his link - Trump is allowing more and more Zionist’s into positions of power in his administration does not bode well for anyone- our government has been entirely captured.
After 80 years of watching the American Left grow ever more petulant, the cries of Applebaum and her peers sound like a tired chorus from the 1960s. If they think their endless wailing and threats will once again shame half of America into retreating into silence and invisibility, they are badly mistaken. If the Left’s latest generation dares to tighten the screws once more on Americans who have suffered economic, cultural, and social oppression for fifty years, they will meet fierce resistance—and they will regret having underestimated the resolve of those they seek to suppress.
Yes every week I tune in hoping you will finally address free speech and protesting what’s going on in Gaza and every week I get pissed off again. Is it free speech only when the admin is fanboying over you and not worth discussing if it will affect your revenue stream or turn the sites of trump admin your way??
It's also pretty fucking rich for Walt to be claiming that the "White People in Power" are all Sad Campers cuz Trump the Populist Hero (barf) is here to bash in their sacred institutions to Free the People... of ISRAEL.
You left THAT part out, Walt! You left out the part where EVERTYTHING Trump does is at the behest of ZIONAZI Jewish Supremacist running out Government.
One thing that Trump's election has highlighted, even more than government corruption, is the elitism & hatred the liberal party feels towards working class folk. In my opinion, it has always been there, concealed by, typically empty, liberal rhetoric & hyperbole.
I also see why liberals have no interest in bringing jobs back to America. They're the shitheads who started sending those jobs overseas & they're secretly proud of that accomplishment.
Better go ask Israel if it’s okay to defend the first amendment. Apparently ATW found a way to vilify Harvard because some of its students thought Israel was worthy of scorn. ATW forgot to mention that Trump’s administration spectacularly pissed in its shoe within hours of their show all about Harvard. Watch and laugh as Walter and Matt throw the subject into the memory hole. Or is it the great never mind?
Harvard has been a bastion of not-free speech for decades, functioning as little more than a high price echo chamber of Leftist causes... But now that there is a schism within that echo chamber, we're supposed to get all upset about it... not going to happen...
Recall that this is the same Harvard that made a lightly published plagiarist college president... At this point, Harvard is a punch line, and nothing more.
Harvard bad. Stipulated. But the Trump administration tried to claim that the letter they sent was a mistake. Then tried to imply that Harvard was in the wrong for not knowing that the administrations directive was illegal. This is a Trump face plant. But don’t worry. The ding dong duo will explain how free speech is very important unless it’s critical of Israel. At that point, they’re going to need time to get more information. The ICJ is currently reviewing information that might be useful in forming an opinion about the behavior of gods chosen people. The capitulation on this is going to make the pandemic look small. Gaza is Taibi’s Russia gate. Harvard hippies and Skokie Nazis are both entitled to free speech.
Free speech? Trumps administration calling its letter a mistake? The ICJ hearing testimony about murdering of aid workers in Gaza? Matt and Walter slow dancing with the first amendment until it questions Zionism? Which part are you pretending not to understand?
The part you do not get is that "free speech" has been dead on American campuses (esp Harvard) for at least twenty years. So this whole conversation is moot, it's about something that no longer exists.
Poor Harvard. I guess I should say that they are a victim and really deserving of the American people’s tax dollars! The judges “groomed ”in those hallowed buildings must be really principled scions of decency not to mention better people than average taxpayers.
“Those Jews deserve to hide identities on the way to classes!”
As you’re obviously a fan of child rape and mass murder, I guess you should not be offended. Not a Zionist myself but a UN aid worker is certainly no neutral influence
Well, Canada elected Carney. After years of rising taxes, unchecked immigration, a falling standard of living, foreigners buying up real estate, eroding civil liberties, and identity politics, they voted for more of the same. They really voted for that after Trudeau's disastrous run. It's like watching a slow moving train wreck. Why, Canada, why? That sure showed Trump!
Talk about cutting off the nose to spite the face. At this rate Canada won't even be worth annexing as the 51st state in another 5 or 10 years. Maybe just allow Alberta and NW Territories to merge w/ Alaska and write the rest off as a lost cause.
Almost one hour in and no First amendment discussion, just a ramble about one of the most boring countries ever conceived, Canada. Next, topic, please!
Pretending either of you gives a shit about Free Speech or the Bill of Rights or the Constitution.
Pretending Trump is some Populist Hero....but NOT for the American People, for ISRAEL.
I think it's pretty clear that Walt is a Zionist and so is Matt - pretty flipping sad.
It's also sad that people her do NOT object to their diverting attention AWAY from anything that could make Israel a Sad Panda, or make Trump look like the Bibi Bootlicker he is.
Wow... no one here cares about the Bill of Rights?
No. Everyone sees it. The volume of comments is way down and many of the very intelligent people who once commented here are gone. Replaced by people who aren’t capable of critical thinking or shame. Join me in relentlessly mocking the new media- same as the old media?
It surely is, isn't it? Same sliding into a "Manufacturing Consent," feeling, same sugar-coating of those items that are too icky-close to having an opinion on the Special Sparkle Princess Pony Country.
I admit Trump can be very funny! I'm 60, so I remember 80's Trump, who was both a joke and a freakin blast! He can be ridiculous, and spot-on in his comments. But the amount of defending of CENSORSHIP, in Matt & Walt's defense of Trump? How people shouldn't get so hung-up on the "Israel-thing" ... I mean .... c'mon. They look just as foolish as the Old Media when they defended Biden's being the very "Best Version of Biden is Right now!"
I’ll bet you’re new to this comment section. Why does Taibi relentlessly review the work of other journalists? He thinks exposing hypocrisy and hubris is worth doing and fun. But if you’re butt hurt, it’s all worth it.
Never said it was. Absolute free speech has conditions. If you are an illegal, you then become a criminal subject to various remedies. If you’re on a visa, you can not espouse over throw of our government, offer aid to terrorist groups., etc.. so your claim about all being able to enjoy free speech is not absolute.
Wow. I never thought I would see it. Walt and now Matt DEFENDING CENSORSHIP FOR ISRAEL - cuz let's get fucking real, people, that is what this ALL is. The attacking colleges, the deporting students, the deporting illegals without a trial, the totally disregarding of the courts and any normal, on the books, Rule of Law... ALL FOR ISRAEL.
If I'm wrong, I would like to see them SHOW IT. Prove that you BOTH aren't just diverting attention away from Trump's Slaughter of the First Amendment, cuz you think you 2 will be safe? Or is it just cuz you're so afraid to criticize Trump, Elon or that Special Sparkle Princess Country, for ANY reason?
I am MASSIVELY disappointed and disgusted with Matt's take here on Harvard only being about a Hedge Fund cosplaying as a school (which it is), is ONLY crying cuz Trump is denying them Money.
Did you 2 "geniuses" know that Trump is erasing African American Studies from school curriculums"? Trying to erase the African American exhibit at the Smithsonian? How about getting rid of America's History of Slavery... what's next? Native Americans actually WELCOMED White Settlers?
Did you 2 also know that Palestinians are Semites, and MOST Israelis are EUROPEAN, so...
the ANTISEMITES ARE THE ISRAELIS, as well as their Jewish Supremacists, Christian & Atheists Zionist buddies.
Or do you 2 ignore those parts, cuz it doesn't fit your "Trump is fighting the Old White Establishment and ushering in a New Age of AI Freedom" bullshit?
Btw, I never bought Russiagate - it NEVER made any sense to me. Putin liked Hillary better, cuz he said Trump was too unpredictable. Putin understood Hillary's style of corruption.
I am POST Duopoly. The DemocRATS are the SAME as Trump, just less ham-fisted. Everyone knows that's true. I'm really bummed that Matt & Walt are so PRO... whatever Trump - in effect, Israel & the Billionaire Oligarchs warmongers- want now. Geez Louise, maybe they always Anti-American, and I just never saw it.
For years now, people on "the left", including actual leftists, have been accusing Matt of going over to the dark side.
And for years now I've argued with them that just because he attacks the Dems doesn't mean he has "changed" since writing those really effective books.
Unfortunately, what they accused him of has become true.
The Israeli genocide has separated the men from the boys and Matt and Walter are infants afraid to look at the reality.
So when you're on the fantasy track, you might as well go full on rightwing bastard.
What's so sad about this, is that Matt knows better.
Matt isn't an idiot ~ we've seen his investigating chops. He's spoken directly - and had a falling out- with an Oligarch, Elon the Autistic Zionazi "Genius."
Matt knows he's weaseling on Israel, and he knows WE know that he's shifted.
This may be why he acts SO prickly and even refers to Free Speech being ended and US taxpayers funding a genocide, as that "Israel-thing."
Bummer for Matt that 2 hours of he & Walt trolling Harvard elites tangling with Trump, isn't enough to DISTRACT his readers/viewers from the whole Israel-controlling-the-USA-Govt-thingey.
When the khaki dockers and polo shirt boys organize their final push, call it The March on Washington, Matt and Walter will be firing off zinger after zinger about Taylor Lorenz and some Ivy League DEI holdouts writing a pamphlet.
Anne Applebaum looks a lot like Victoria Nuland. Victoria isn’t quite as unfortunate looking or scary, but they are in the same league, both in looks and character.
Just here to say I don't despise Walter and Matt or their podcast. Seemed like that point of view might be a bit underrepresented in the comments. 😄
Wow, you aren’t kidding, this batch of comments are particularly vitriolic and hateful.
Why are you eben using the word despise? Can’t comprehend your mind…
Are we the same specie?
Free speech!!😂😂😂
Give up the First Amendment talk, "free speech" has been dead on college campuses for 20 years or more.. It has just become a Big Deal now because for once, it is a Left wing cause ("Free Palestine"/pro-Hamas) that is getting it's wings clipped, and even that is being exaggerated. Conservatives have been getting excluded/shouted down/attacked for decades on campus with nary a peep... but now that the antisemites are being squeezed, we're supposed to think it's a crisis. Bunk.
Defund, dismantle, and re-invent higher education--Now.
The actual semites are experiencing a holocaust as we speak. Thats why DNA testing has been outlawed in Israel. Conservatives were very adamant about free speech when the subject was chicks with dicks or gender affirmation for kindergarten students. You were a snowflake if someone said something that you didn’t like and acted like a bitch. ‘Member? I ‘member
YO SEMITES!! Get off of 23&Me...
Palestinians are Semites. Don’t cha know? Really. No kidding.
How does protesting genocide = pro Hamas?
We all have very short memories..
Chants of "Globalize the Intifada," carrying signs showing images of age-old blood libels against the Jews, celebration of Hamas and Hezbollah "martyrs," are more celebrating genocidal intent than protesting it.
Sure - our little Zionist troll
Unlike you, I know my history, which did not, actually, begin in the 1940s. There were Jews in Palestine thousands of years before Muhammad's great-grandfather was a twinkle in his sire's eye.
And under Muhammad, in many cases, "men of a Book," which included Jews and Christians as well as Muslims, lived at peace.
I suspect the prophet would not be well pleased with a good number of his followers today.
Israel sucks at genocide. I believe the Palestinian population has grown since 1970 from 1.3 million to 5.6 million.
Baby Bush came up with that tactic of suppression during 9/11, as far as I know.
Here we go again… is it pro-Hamas or against US genocide of Palestinians?
Crawl back under your Zionist stone
It would only be "genocide" if anyone were actually attempting to eradicate every Muslim, as many Muslims wish upon all Jews.
Otherwise you need to torture the term out of its meaning, as so many on the left love to do to language. Like the CDC did with "vaccine."
"The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG), or the Genocide Convention, is an international treaty that criminalizes genocide and obligates state parties to pursue the enforcement of its prohibition. It was the first legal instrument to codify genocide as a crime and the first human rights treaty unanimously adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 9 December 1948, during the third session of the United Nations General Assembly. The Convention entered into force on 12 January 1951 and has 153 state parties as of February 2025."
"The Convention defines genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group." These five acts include killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.[6] The convention further criminalizes "complicity, attempt, or incitement of its commission."

Indeed. Therefore, we agree that targeting terrorists as such is not genocide, even if said terrorists insist upon using their more peaceable co-religious as human shields.
Unless, of course, one considers terrorists as a group which may not be targeted without genocidal intent.
There is a UN declared genocide going on right now in the Sudan — no protests ? No signs?
That, of course, is an excellent question. But I am afraid that a lot of the pro-Muslim terrorism protests have a great deal to do with simple Jew-hatred. It's real, been around for a very long time, and we never seem to quite get rid of it, sadly for everyone.

“On April 21, the NIH released a notice stating that recipients of NIH grants or other funding must refrain from engaging in “a discriminatory prohibited boycott” against Israel. Specifically, recipients cannot refuse to deal with or limit commercial relations with Israeli companies or companies affiliated with Israel.”

Aw... poor poor little Merkins forced into silence and invisibility by blue-haired teen baristas and old hippies.
You want a tissue or a diaper for that stream?
Yes every week I tune in hoping you will finally address free speech and protesting what’s going on in Gaza and every week I get pissed off again. Is it free speech only when the admin is fanboying over you and not worth discussing if it will affect your revenue stream or turn the sites of trump admin your way??
So apparently you have no actual Substack presence but to come along and troll. Nice!
We're at war over who gets to kill the 1st amendment.
Then again, the devil has this everlasting ability to convince its enemies that they must become evil to fight it, so I wouldn't expect anything less.
HEY!
HEY!
DON'T NOBODY GETS TO KILL MY FIRST AMENDMENT!! ESPECIALLY NOT FOR DOUBLE NEGATIVES AND CRAP COLOQUIALIST GRAMMATICAL INCONSISTENCIES!!
I would call it "university colloquialism" at best lol
The point still stands, I believe.
Is there a Chinese battleship near the Philippines? Our filthy corporate elite enabled this shit.
Clinton was popular for getting us high on this drug, and like addicts we've been going downhill begging for more ever since.
True. But of course presidents and universities are part of the corporate elite.
Thomas Frank identified the professional-managerial class as the Problem causing inequality and ruling over the traditional Democrat constituencies: the Poor and Working Class. www.afr.com/work-and-careers/management/thomas-frank-on-how-the-democrat-elite-undermined-the-system-20170206-gu6iyi
The Democrats hate him because at heart he is a Populist, the natural enemy of the Elites.
Are there 800 🇺🇸 bases outside the USA? Is this more Chinese stealing our intellectual property? Is that your point?
YEESH! I hope not.
It's also pretty fucking rich for Walt to be claiming that the "White People in Power" are all Sad Campers cuz Trump the Populist Hero (barf) is here to bash in their sacred institutions to Free the People... of ISRAEL.
You left THAT part out, Walt! You left out the part where EVERTYTHING Trump does is at the behest of ZIONAZI Jewish Supremacist running out Government.

More like a war with Israel over the 1st Amendment.. and we're losing

Gotcha
I’m pretty sure Jews are going to get what Zionists deserve. And that may be the biggest war
crime of all. First they came for the authors of editorials…
Come get some yourself asshole. 357 waiting for you
I’m not even a UN aid worker or a child in Gaza. How sporting of you. I’m sure you’ve endeared yourself to our fellow readers. Hooray for Zionism.
The pup won’t even blink
As you’re obviously a fan of child rape and mass murder, I guess you should not be offended. Not a Zionist myself but a UN aid worker is certainly no neutral influence
Kev honey... your camera was on last time you wanked watching your Dead Palestinian Kids For Pedos compilation.
Hide yourself in shame!
Well, Canada elected Carney. After years of rising taxes, unchecked immigration, a falling standard of living, foreigners buying up real estate, eroding civil liberties, and identity politics, they voted for more of the same. They really voted for that after Trudeau's disastrous run. It's like watching a slow moving train wreck. Why, Canada, why? That sure showed Trump!
You probably just answered your own question
Talk about cutting off the nose to spite the face. At this rate Canada won't even be worth annexing as the 51st state in another 5 or 10 years. Maybe just allow Alberta and NW Territories to merge w/ Alaska and write the rest off as a lost cause.
Almost one hour in and no First amendment discussion, just a ramble about one of the most boring countries ever conceived, Canada. Next, topic, please!
What FRAUDS both of you are.
Pretending either of you gives a shit about Free Speech or the Bill of Rights or the Constitution.
Pretending Trump is some Populist Hero....but NOT for the American People, for ISRAEL.
I think it's pretty clear that Walt is a Zionist and so is Matt - pretty flipping sad.
It's also sad that people her do NOT object to their diverting attention AWAY from anything that could make Israel a Sad Panda, or make Trump look like the Bibi Bootlicker he is.
Wow... no one here cares about the Bill of Rights?
Are you ALL Israel First, MIGA, like Walt & Matt?
No. Everyone sees it. The volume of comments is way down and many of the very intelligent people who once commented here are gone. Replaced by people who aren’t capable of critical thinking or shame. Join me in relentlessly mocking the new media- same as the old media?
It surely is, isn't it? Same sliding into a "Manufacturing Consent," feeling, same sugar-coating of those items that are too icky-close to having an opinion on the Special Sparkle Princess Pony Country.
I admit Trump can be very funny! I'm 60, so I remember 80's Trump, who was both a joke and a freakin blast! He can be ridiculous, and spot-on in his comments. But the amount of defending of CENSORSHIP, in Matt & Walt's defense of Trump? How people shouldn't get so hung-up on the "Israel-thing" ... I mean .... c'mon. They look just as foolish as the Old Media when they defended Biden's being the very "Best Version of Biden is Right now!"
Peace.
I’ll bet you have included yourself in the “ very intelligent people”. Why hang around if this substack site is unworthy?
I’ll bet you’re new to this comment section. Why does Taibi relentlessly review the work of other journalists? He thinks exposing hypocrisy and hubris is worth doing and fun. But if you’re butt hurt, it’s all worth it.
Relax, sister. You’re depleting your estrogen
Menopause joke, cuz I'm an old woman, right? That's adorable!
Maybe Low T is affecting your critical thinking skills.
The First Amendment protects EVERYONE's Free Speech.
It protects We The People FROM The Government.
The First Amendment is NOT a Tool for the Govt to control the People. Get it?
Glitterpuppy is a fun name though ~ I like it!
Peace.
I apologize for my comment. Didn’t mean for it to become potentially a criticism. Please forgive me.🥹
Never said it was. Absolute free speech has conditions. If you are an illegal, you then become a criminal subject to various remedies. If you’re on a visa, you can not espouse over throw of our government, offer aid to terrorist groups., etc.. so your claim about all being able to enjoy free speech is not absolute.
Wow. I never thought I would see it. Walt and now Matt DEFENDING CENSORSHIP FOR ISRAEL - cuz let's get fucking real, people, that is what this ALL is. The attacking colleges, the deporting students, the deporting illegals without a trial, the totally disregarding of the courts and any normal, on the books, Rule of Law... ALL FOR ISRAEL.
If I'm wrong, I would like to see them SHOW IT. Prove that you BOTH aren't just diverting attention away from Trump's Slaughter of the First Amendment, cuz you think you 2 will be safe? Or is it just cuz you're so afraid to criticize Trump, Elon or that Special Sparkle Princess Country, for ANY reason?
I am MASSIVELY disappointed and disgusted with Matt's take here on Harvard only being about a Hedge Fund cosplaying as a school (which it is), is ONLY crying cuz Trump is denying them Money.
Did you 2 "geniuses" know that Trump is erasing African American Studies from school curriculums"? Trying to erase the African American exhibit at the Smithsonian? How about getting rid of America's History of Slavery... what's next? Native Americans actually WELCOMED White Settlers?
Did you 2 also know that Palestinians are Semites, and MOST Israelis are EUROPEAN, so...
the ANTISEMITES ARE THE ISRAELIS, as well as their Jewish Supremacists, Christian & Atheists Zionist buddies.
Or do you 2 ignore those parts, cuz it doesn't fit your "Trump is fighting the Old White Establishment and ushering in a New Age of AI Freedom" bullshit?
Btw, I never bought Russiagate - it NEVER made any sense to me. Putin liked Hillary better, cuz he said Trump was too unpredictable. Putin understood Hillary's style of corruption.
I am POST Duopoly. The DemocRATS are the SAME as Trump, just less ham-fisted. Everyone knows that's true. I'm really bummed that Matt & Walt are so PRO... whatever Trump - in effect, Israel & the Billionaire Oligarchs warmongers- want now. Geez Louise, maybe they always Anti-American, and I just never saw it.
It's really flipping sad.
Peace.
Yeah.
For years now, people on "the left", including actual leftists, have been accusing Matt of going over to the dark side.
And for years now I've argued with them that just because he attacks the Dems doesn't mean he has "changed" since writing those really effective books.
Unfortunately, what they accused him of has become true.
The Israeli genocide has separated the men from the boys and Matt and Walter are infants afraid to look at the reality.
So when you're on the fantasy track, you might as well go full on rightwing bastard.
What's so sad about this, is that Matt knows better.
Matt isn't an idiot ~ we've seen his investigating chops. He's spoken directly - and had a falling out- with an Oligarch, Elon the Autistic Zionazi "Genius."
Matt knows he's weaseling on Israel, and he knows WE know that he's shifted.
This may be why he acts SO prickly and even refers to Free Speech being ended and US taxpayers funding a genocide, as that "Israel-thing."
Bummer for Matt that 2 hours of he & Walt trolling Harvard elites tangling with Trump, isn't enough to DISTRACT his readers/viewers from the whole Israel-controlling-the-USA-Govt-thingey.
Peace.
When the khaki dockers and polo shirt boys organize their final push, call it The March on Washington, Matt and Walter will be firing off zinger after zinger about Taylor Lorenz and some Ivy League DEI holdouts writing a pamphlet.
Anne Applebaum looks a lot like Victoria Nuland. Victoria isn’t quite as unfortunate looking or scary, but they are in the same league, both in looks and character.
Exactly my thinking also. Both are murderous 🤡s
