"The most notable impact of the absence of the legacy media and its virtue-signalling academic pets was that we got to have an actual, robust, masculine, no-holds-barred debate for the first time in at least a decade. The familiar shame-and-ostracize tactics were tried – mainly by centre-right classical liberals who have been trying to force-meme ‘woke right’ for months now – but fell entirely on deaf ears, and served mainly to marginalize the people resorting to such tricks. Instead, the debate focused on verifiable fact, on peoples’ direct experiences, on logical argument, and yes, on rhetoric and memes. Ordinary anon accounts with a few hundred followers were ratioing some of the worlds’ most powerful people, without any intermediation by gatekeepers."

"Originally promoted by an X account that goes by Librarian Mama, Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey came to the internet’s attention with a viral post. The account posted, “‘Oh, you've never read The Odyssey???’ Your timing is perfect. Emily Wilson's translation is the best one in literally ages, has that sweet iambic pentameter to give it a ‘bouncy’ feel, & makes dudebros cry that the classic has ‘gone woke’.”"

🇮🇱🏴‍☠️👉🇵🇸 DETAILS OF THE ISRAELI OPERATION TO BLOW UP PAGERS.

Two former officers of the Israeli intelligence service Mossad have revealed details of one of their large-scale special operations against the Hezbollah group in Lebanon. In an interview with the American television channel CBS News, they shared information about how Israeli specialists “embedded” explosives into communication equipment.

According to sources, the key element of the operation was pagers , which began to be developed back in 2022. The design of the device was designed in such a way that a sufficient volume of explosive materials could be placed inside the case.

Israeli intelligence agency Mossad conducted an entire operation to promote pagers capable of carrying explosive devices on the YouTube platform so that Hezbollah would pay attention to them and purchase them:

"It's durable. It's dustproof. It's waterproof. It has a long battery life (...) We made commercials and brochures and put it on the internet. And it becomes the best pager product in the world (...) And we got several inquiries from regular potential customers [including Hezbollah]"

, - said a Mossad representative.

During this period, Mossad managed to sell about 16 thousand such devices through front men.

"The Dissident Right emerged in the 2020s as both an intellectual subculture and a growing counter-culture. This movement draws on a mix of pre-liberal traditionalism, conservative ideas, and anti-liberal revolutionary movements. Despite being small in number, its cultural influence is disproportionately large. Much of today’s popular internet culture, memes, and references trace back to this group’s shared spaces and forums. The Dissident Right is unique in that it is the only intellectual movement that directly opposes the entire framework of liberalism—whether left or right."

"I doubt I understood the concepts of honor and loyalty until I had lived in Britain for a year. During that time, someone told me not to exaggerate when promoting the organization I worked for. For the first time, I began to see that people wanted to speak the truth simply for the sake of truth. I had always known the word “truth,” but for the first time, I began to grasp its essence.

"The foundational principle to understanding India is that it is an amoral, irrational society devoid of values. Any values you try to instill will slip off, like water off a duck’s back.
