  1. Yes, a very intelligent, cogent assessment from KK.

  2.  @popculture70  Good point. Though perhaps Trump's influence could have mitigated the worst or what we're seeing now. Trump's a pragmatist.

  3.  @pt17171  I'm no apologist for Kisin but that's not how I read his analysis. It's absolutely the case that a certain faction under the umbrella of 'wokeism', have been inflicting themselves on the general populace over too many years now. Media pundits spend vast swathes of airtime, column inches on pandering to this self-important, self-aggrandising faction. Meanwhile, in the UK, 1 in 3 children are now living in families at the poverty level. 1 in 4 children is abused. Millions of families have to resort to foodbanks. There are millions of vulnerable people in the UK (young, old, disabled, veterans etc) who are in serious need of support, medical and social care because of decreasing funding. Yet where is the media's attention...? Not on these real issues and improving the lives of many. Ditto the UK's attention to overseas developments. Have you seen the NATO HR diversity video that's going the rounds? 2 mins of warm fuzzies. It looks like NATO has transformed itself into a cosy, cuddly global social services outfit. The West has been so wrapped up in idiot minutiae raised by people who do have the health, strength and money to make loud and long complaints that it's failed to read what's been going on in the rest of the world's room. Nero Antoinette comes to mind.

  4. Don't forget all the many younger people who have various conditions that undermine their health and who have been in the isolated corner for 2 years now. They are very numerous.

  5.  @evolassunglasses4673  As KK on Triggernometry said yesterday, the west has to wake up and focus on reality instead of the woke unicorns and rainbows fantasies.

  6.  @jamescaley9942  Though, if we're being pragmatic about it, Ukraine has far more to offer than the Kurds. Very sad, but true. Aligning with either the US or Russia now would appear to be dicey. US leadership is not as stable and as focused as it could be. And it could well be that Russia under Putin, after his violent excursion is not going to be too stable either.

  7. Sick of all this nonsense. Best we can hope for is that loads of transgendered men get into women's sports and compete against each other, thus destroying women's sports but creating their own transgender men sports leagues.

  8.  @andrewrussell6299  It's about biology at the end of the day, isn't it? Nature itself determines these things....
