The genocide enabling Epstein class losing the information war. This is a sign of real weakness and dare I say, an inflection point

Are we still calling it South by Southwest if the festival is in the North by NorthEast.

Love to go as far North and East as I can get and label my festival SXSW.

Rich of Piker calling a foreign government for acting better than his own country.

Hasan Piker calling out a UK Government for an action his government has far surpassed.

Calling out UK Government for making it difficult for him a non citizen to enter because of his speech is far less authoritative than what his government is doing; jailing its own citizen for similar speech.

UK has no compunction of restricting unbridled free speech. It has no law that guarantees it.

Calling out an entity that is registered there and having a function there is the height of Americans entitlement.

You think this is a gotcha because Hasan lives in the US?? He spends plenty of time covering all of the fucked up shit the USA has been up to, even before Trump...

It is not a gotcha Americans should get down from there high horse and recognise that they are not the main character.
