Peter Thiel has been going “democracy is bad because women vote against libertarianism” for like a quarter century and people are still doing this “Silicon Valley was forced right” thing
Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon has again criticised Israeli policies for northern Gaza, saying he stands by previous comments in which he accused Israel of committing “ethnic cleansing” in the besieged enclave.

“No one cares,” I say from the account I specifically made to follow liberals here so I could tell them over and over how little I care.
