"One of the things you need to understand about human nature is that every last reason for taking each one of those steps was swathed in plausible and scholarly rationalizations. The devil is a liar, and is an expert on how to escort gullible smart people into a fog bank of sophisticated nonsense. As has been done."
-- Doug Wilson

“I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it. But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”
Argentinian President Javier Milei
