What grinds my gears

On the first days of Russia's full-scale invasion attempt of Ukraine, they occupied the city of Chernobyl. Yes, exactly  that  Chernobyl. The logic behind this beggars belief. It's a mind-bogglingly stupid move. It shouldn't be any surprise to anybody that the Pripyat area, including Chernobyl, has no military value. There are no military bases there, or is there anything of military strategic value in the area, for rather obvious reasons. It is, for all intents and purposes, a radioactive toxic wasteland with zero value. The land has no value, and there is no military value to the area either. What makes the invasion of Chernobyl particularly stupid is that the soil, especially in the so-called Red Forest, is still radioactive, and driving tanks on it disturbs the soil and releases huge radioactive dust clouds. (Yes, tourists visited Chernobyl all the time prior to the invasion, but these visits were extremely controlled, and one of the strict rules for any visitor is to n...

There is one thing that flat-earthers just cannot explain in any way, shape or form, not even with made-up claims, not with pseudoscience, not by throwing fancy terms at it and pretending it "explains" it, and they can't even deny that it happens. This one counter-argument is completely impervious to all flat-earther arguments. And that is: How is science able to predict every single solar eclipse years and even decades ahead of time, to the accuracy of seconds, and the exact places where there will be full and partial eclipses? Even they cannot deny that it happens. They can deny the validity of photographs, video, scientific tests and measurements when it comes to other topics. They can even argue about the nature of solar eclipses themselves (ie. what they are and what causes them). However, the predictions are so utterly and clearly undeniable that even flat-earthers and their kindergarten-level IQ can't deny that it happens: Every single time that science has pre...

This slide is from a 2023 presentation by the famous video game development company Activision Blizzard: Let's put aside for a moment the racial discrimination in hiring that's quite clearly happening in that company. Here Activision Blizzard is meticulously observing and documenting the race of their employees. They are paying members of their staff to observe, research, classify and document people by their race, compartmentalizing them based on that innate trait. Activision Blizzard: Do you know what that's called? It's called racism. Pure, unadultered,  bona fide  racism, plain and simple. In an actual non-racist environment it shouldn't matter what people's "race" is supposed to be. It plays no role. People would not be classified nor compartmentalized by it. And especially it wouldn't be something that's meticulously researched, documented and charted. Activision Blizzard, you are a racist company, plain and simple. There's no way aro...

I have written about this very subject before, but I think it deserves repeating because I see it on YouTube pretty much every single day, and to this day I have absolutely no idea why they behave like they do. If you are in the United States, try going all on your own, alone, for example to a car of local law enforcement of federal agents, and damage the car in their full view, like slashing a tire or breaking a windshield wiper. What happens? You'll be arrested in a millisecond. You'll be lucky if they don't shoot you. However, gather 50 people to accompany you, to show slogans and be all angry at the cops, and then go and damage their car. What happens? In most cases, nothing. Perhaps one of the cops  might  shove you aside, but that's it. No arrest, nothing. This is not hyperbole or just hypothetical.  It happens all the time . Nowadays it happens many times a day. In the vast, vast majority of cases the result is the same: No arrests. The cops  refuse  to e...

Donald Trump recently made essentially a PSA in one of his speeches warning pregnant women from taking Tylenol, as it can be harmful to the fetus. Tylenol is the most common brand name in the US for over-the-counter pain and antipyretic medication containing paracetamol. Cue a bunch of pregnant leftists on TikTok deliberately taking Tylenol just out of spite. One of them says in the video that she believes in medical science rather than an old man who knows nothing about medicine. The kicker? Trump's announcement was precisely based on medical publications and a medical consensus. And, in fact, the manufacturer of Tylenol themselves warn against pregnant women taking it, precisely for the reason Trump mentioned. It can be harmful to the child. These leftists with terminal Trump Derangement Syndrome simply  assumed  that if Trump says it, then it must be false and against medical science, without so much as doing a quick and simple google search on the subject. They just  ...

As I wrote before, while they have shown it quite clearly for the past 10+ years, recent events have truly opened it for everybody to see: Far-leftists are complete psychopaths who do not value human life and who are incapable of feeling true empathy towards another human being, not at the instinctual level nor even at the intellectual level (ie. even after having consciously fully processed the situation, being able to make fully intentional conscious decisions, and are no longer reacting based purely on first instincts.) They  pretend  like they care about human life (although even then only  some  human life), but that's only as long as those people are useful for their agenda; the very second that those people stop being useful and step outside the tight boundaries of the doctrine, they turn on those people and start attacking them, showing that in fact they didn't really care about them in the first place. However, a recent video by Matt Walsh made me realize s...

Like with so many American social justice organizations that are a century old, give or take, also the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) started as relatively good and reasonable but turned into a complete far-leftist propaganda machine during the last 20 or so years, and par for the course, they have been spouting far-leftist propaganda, distortions and lies ever since. But since the ADL still mostly carries its old reputation, ie. it's riding on its own past, most leftist publications and people just love to cite it as a "credible" source (including, obviously, Wikipedia.) Of course for about 20 or so years the ADL has been as reliable of a source for politics as a refund scammer is for the status of your refund. One of the latest pieces of propaganda that they have published is some statistics about mass shootings in the United States, which points out that over 75% of them have been committed by far-right extremists. Well, that's some compelling evidence about how viol...
