I see nothing fascist about wanting secure borders and meritocracy. If we can’t even agree on things as basic and essential as this then how is it possible to have a country? We lack a common reality, have become incomprehensible to each other and can no longer communicate. Where is the common ground in such an infinitely wide divide? There obviously is none. We always just talk past each other. This can only get worse and is getting worse by the day.

Please explain to me under which circumstances you think it is worth it to kill tens of thousands of children and civilians.

Open borders and the war on meritocracy which is being replaced by Equity aka Equal Outcomes are not “misinformation.” You’re a good example of why America is a failed state in rapid decline. And the world knows it since they see it online every day just as easily as we do.

“Editor’s Note: America is at war. This is not a traditional war, fought on a battlefield against an external enemy. It is a civilizational conflict against an internal enemy: the group quota regime, a revolutionary threat that seeks to reorganize American society around the principle of outcome equality — what the regime’s partisans call “equity.”

“This cold civil war may go unnoticed by many day-to-day, but its stakes are often as high as life and death. Here, Roger B. Cohen, a celebrated oncologist and professor in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, explains how the group quota regime has taken hold of the American medical education system and asks urgent questions about the consequences for medicine, for the sick, and for the country.”

Substack really needs to make some new tools to control whose comments you see.

There are a half dozen attention starved people on every substack that clog up the comments with nonsense.

I don't believe these comments should be censored by the government, but I also think I should be able to not have to wade through them to get to the things I want to read.

I agree that Israel is engaging in genocide/ethnic cleansing. That’s why I subscribed to Ryan’s Substack. I follow people like John Mearsheimer, Glenn Greenwald and Jeffrey Sachs who do an excellent job of explaining the past history and present reality of Ukraine and Gaza. I do not agree with Ryan that Trump is a grave danger to democracy and that his supporters are racist white trash too stupid to realize they’re supporting a fascist dictator. I totally agree with Tulsi. Christopher Wray is an example of the intense hatred of Trump by many in our worthless government and it’s also an example of why Tulsi is now so deeply hated by the democrats and why they decided she needs to be put on a terrorist watchlist. In what sense does America even still exist as a country?
