Perhaps MIT should hold a lecture on the Gulag Archipelago -a cautionary reminder as to what is possible when totalitarianism takes hold…”the simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie.” Thank you professor Abbot for your courage.

FYI, the left-wing blogosphere is starting to "learn" that Gulag Archipelago is white supremacist propaganda and that they should shut down and scream in the face of anyone who invokes it.

Naturally, they have no idea what the book is about.

Please give examples, references. I don't believe you.

If you don't believe them, search it your damn self. They're not your research assistant.

Would you like them printed and collated as well? No. You doubt it, you check it.

No one is obliged to do work for you to speak. If you're curious or doubtful, investigate yourself.

Or is that a white supremacist value?

What are you, his mother? He made the assertion, he'd better be able to back it up. That's how it works here.

Fuck you for that "white supremeicist" libel.

Fuck yourself right back, leftist troll.

Bitch about Jan. 6 some more. That's another good trump card to derail anything, right? Speaking of "trump card," just say "Trump" and declare victory.

1. Don't like leftists. Not a leftist. 2. I don't have to bitch about January 6, the Justice Department is nicely taking care of your red hats for me. 3. I didn't say a word about January 6 or Trump, I asked JD to provide proof of his Gulag Archipelago assertion because I don't believe him. Crickets so far. 4. Since you're too delicate to run with the big dogs, go fuck a fire hydrant.

LOL, yeah, I'm delicate. I bet you're thrilled the "red hats" are rotting in solitary for half a year for criminal trespass.

Don't have to bitch about Jan 6? It's in half your comments on this thread. You love using it as your hail Mary for both-sidesism.

All those "f" words. Look at the potty mouth on you. At least I don't claim superiority.

You can't claim superiority. You aren't superior.

You drop "white supremicist" into a comment directed at me, you get the F-bomb. Never used it on you till you did.

It might shock you, but the Red Hats engaged only in criminal trespass shouldn't have seen a day in jail, let alone months in solitary. They should have been immediately released on R&R, had their trials, been sentenced to a modest fine, and told to not do it again. Rioters who didn't hurt anyone, the same, except a bigger fine. Rioters who hurt people, high bail and jail or prison, depending on how bad the injuries were, but no pretrial detention: R&R. Violent insurrectionists, yeah, keep them in the pokey, they're a flight risk.

January 6 is in half my comments because half my comments were proving that the Woke are not the only stupid and violent people in America. So of course I use January 6, it's a great example. Both-siderism is true when it's true, and in this case, it's true.

I agree to drop the F-bombs if you agree to drop the supremecist slur.

I never called you a white supremacist, dear heart.

You're a media animal? Reading comprehension.

So sad really- Unfortunately the Twitter mob doesn’t care about truth, facts, nuance, civility, human decency, free expression, democracy…
