On April 18th, hundreds of activists attempted to rescue beagles from Ridglan Farms, an animal research and breeding facility in Wisconsin. David Killoren wrote about his experience as one of those activists, and defended the use of open rescue to liberate animals[i] from carceral settings.

Philosophical Eugenics: Grievance Philosopher Gets Job at UGhent Despite Shoddy Work, Still Sees Himself as Victim
In this extremely competitive job market, Nathan Cofnas was recently hired to a postdoctoral position at Ghent University (UGhent) in Belgium.

Langton on Silencing
Some truisms regarding linguistic communication: 1: The content of an assertion is a function of both the sentence actually uttered and its context. 2: The context is not under the speaker’s direct and total control. 3: The content of an utterance is attributed to its speaker in a way that makes them responsible of their […]

Corporate Pedophilic Elites Are Eugenicists Who Want to “Seed the Human Race with Their DNA”
It should come as no surprise that the corporate pedophilic elites controlling the global economy are also eugenicists. Epstein, Musk, and Trump exemplify the non-accidental relationship between pedophilia and eugenics – interconnected systems of oppression that inflict sexual, physical, and emotional violence on individuals deemed “undeveloped” or “impaired.” Jeffrey Epstein Epstein apparently believed in both […]
