You’ll notice that for all the noise about the red/green alliance his argument isn’t based in Islam or Marxism His argument is fundamentally liberal
.@AbdulElSayed says it’s ok for MEN to be in girl’s locker rooms. Why? “Well because they are going to find out about it on the internet anyway” Completely unacceptable.

Maybe his "gender identity specialist" prescribed these XXXL prosthetic breasts to help him "live as a woman", perhaps they are emotional support jugs?
An Oxford college is letting a male lecturer teach while wearing prosthetic breasts. “Transgender demands muddy the water so that normal standards of behaviour are undermined.... The impact on women doesn’t seem to feature.” @DerryBanShee in @Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10…

Then explain the success of Victoria’s Secret, cosmetics companies fashion mags… “Femininity is not a costume.”
I have seen this story for a few days now and couldn’t let it pass. There is something profoundly offensive about the suggestion that femininity can be represented by a bearded man wearing enormous, artificial breasts. Women are not defined by the size of their breasts, the shape of their bodies, or exaggerated sexual characteristics. We are human beings, not caricatures of anatomy. Why is it that some men who identify as women appear to embrace such exaggerated stereotypes of female anatomy? Why should large breasts, artificial curves, makeup and hypersexualised appearances be treated as representations of womanhood? And what about the students? Imagine sitting in a lecture, expected to treat this as an ordinary expression of academic professionalism. Students are there to learn, not to become an unwilling audience to an educator’s personal expression. I experienced a version of this discomfort during some of my own law examinations. In an already high-pressure examination environment, I encountered hypothetical scenarios that used pronouns in ways that conflicted with my understanding of biological sex. Instead of concentrating solely on the legal issue being tested, I found myself having to work through how to answer the question accurately without feeling compelled to endorse an underlying premise I disagreed with. Examinations should test legal knowledge and reasoning, not place students in an unnecessary ideological predicament. It is equally ludicrous that the teaching profession appears so reluctant to push back or even engage in an honest discussion about professional boundaries, dignity and the responsibilities educators owe their students. Femininity is not a costume. Being female is not a performance, and womanhood is not something that can be reduced to a collection of exaggerated physical features. Women deserve to be recognised as more than their bodies. Students deserve professional learning environments. And universities should be places where critical thinking is encouraged, not where legitimate questions are beyond debate.

Palantir has very little to do with Hegel but tech CEOs like Karp love to invoke philosophy to aestheticize and sophisticate the much simpler and more vulgar projects that they are undertaking. In Hegel’s ideal state, you wouldn’t need perpetual surveillance because members of the state would themselves identify with the state and would no sooner act against the state’s interests than their own, the two being convergent and continuous with one another. In a confused, deracinated “civil society” in which neighbors do not speak the same language or share anything tangible in common, an external ‘state’ that stands apart from its individual members, replete with Flock cameras on every street corner, is required to keep people in tow, to instill obedience through a form of suspended terror and violence.
Alex Karp says Palantir is a philosophical project inspired by Hegel.

May be the first time in history a Zionist bombed and no children were killed.
Sacha Baron Cohen has said the reason that Ali G 2 has bombed at the Box Office is due to 'anti-semitism' and is part of a wider: "trend of Jews being portrayed in certain ways and trying to be silenced."

It is not bizarre. It is business. Her sponsorship deals account for 90% of her career income. Her brand portfolio, based on her “inclusive” message earned her btwn $5-$7M beyond her career salary. Another feminist icon. The more women rely on this ridiculous idea of some amorphous patriarchy with its boot on women’s necks, and some benevolent sisterhood that will reclaim all that is owed them, the more they miss what is staring them in the face: The market in sex deconstruction, and feminists that will sell out their “sisters” to support feminine men who they perceive as allies in their fight to deconstruct social sex roles. xitter.gq/deityrecords/status/21…
If the women’s sport category didn’t exist, Megan Rapinoe literally would not have a career, yet she has made the bizarre choice to dedicate her post-sporting career to destroying the women’s sport category.

Feminism's Politically Correct Punching Bag Feminism establishes categories through which an ever-wider range of actions and events are rendered intelligible as manifestations of male domination. These circulate as cultural products, generating demand for feminist expertise and intervention, which in turn reinforces the authority of the institutions producing them. The Despicable Man is feminism’s signature trope-cum-commodity. taravandijk.substack.com/p/t…

So it's evil, the height of patriarchy 🤬for “trans women” to bang on about “exploring one's gender identity” online, but good and empowering for political lesbians to encourage women to choose lesbianism as an act of resistance to “compulsory heterosexuality”? Political lesbianism and transgender activism share an emancipatory premise that established sexual and gender norms must be challenged. However, whether encouraging others to challenge them is deemed empowering or “grooming” apparently depends on who's doing the encouraging.

Feminism is an industry in which men are turned into despicable objects for use and abuse.
