Keep Giving Nick Fuentes More Rope

One of the great arguments in favor of free speech is that it allows fools to discredit themselves, and Nick Fuentes is an excellent example of why the First Amendment guarantees that even the most ridiculous fool should never be censored.

What Causes Racism?

The answer in two words: Cornell University. Cornell University causes racism: I applied to countless tenure-track positions across the country in 2019 and 2020.
