Ryan “Dickie” Thompson breaks down a 20-year debate with his brother about racism, religion, and politics. From anti-racist punk roots to Gnostic Christianity and today’s culture of defamation, here’s why “everyone I don’t like is a Nazi” is destroying honest discussion.
Steven Crowder’s bulletproof return to Change My Mind after Charlie Kirk’s assassination shows how far political violence has escalated. Why dialogue still matters, and what’s next in this series on civil discourse.
The narrative war over violence in America is louder than the violence itself. Media outlets and viral charts blame white men or trans shooters as the culprits. But the data shows otherwise: men commit nearly all mass shootings, race largely tracks population, and trans shooters remain vanishingly rare. After listening to Tim Pool and Steven Crowder discuss assassination threats and mob intimidation, I reflect on why grassroots defenders like the Proud Boys rose in the first place, why they still matter, and why the defense of free speech requires both restraint and muscle.
James Comey’s indictment exposes the rot that forms when power is unchecked. This commentary argues for consistent rule of law, structural reforms, and an end to partisan justice.
The radical left has turned language into a weapon, using labels like “Nazi,” “bigot,” and “threat to democracy” to justify silencing, smearing, and even violence. Dave Rubin’s debate with Cenk Uygur shows just how dangerous this game has become.
