Well he doesn’t go looking at articles until you bullies start demanding cites for the articles he’s claiming not to read.

I have explained recently what I typically read. Sloppy terminology. I don’t read MAGA sites like American Greatness or others. I read credible sites on the right such as National Review. I sometimes read Reason.

Where Insee the more far right stuff is on Twitter. It just shows up in my feed, probably because I follow Musk and a few people on the moderate right.

This is getting crazy. And now I know I’m being trolled. I’m out of this thread.

You know… presuming Sam’s wife and son exist, I really, REALLY want to see her “overhear” Sam making all these claims about them on the internet, and do the following:

But since we aren’t Republicans and Sam isn’t Ruby Freeman or Paul Pelosi or Ester Salas, I think he’s safe.

But do you browse them?

I don’t read Richard Hanania or American Greatness either . . . because before this thread I didn’t know they fucking existed.

Sure, blame Twitter, give us another example of the ideology of Personal Responsibility.

See? You people are the real Nazis. Musk has only said that Jews are responsible for antisemitism and that The Great Replacement is a real thing. You know, where the Jews are trying to replace the white race with mud races. What’s not moderately to the right about that?

Speaking of that, he still believes that his screeds against the WEF only included that “non consequential item”, in reality, as others noted, almost all of it was pure bullshit, I will only say that as an example, this accusation:

> [@Why do people say the World economic forum is pushing socialist views?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-do-people-say-the-world-economic-forum-is-pushing-socialist-views/997610/15):
>
> It’s also a full employment program for the region’s prostitutes and escorts.

Is not what more sensible reporting would do, that is the fallacy of guilt by association, The right wing and conspiracy cites never bother to report about the WEF not approving about that, nor the fact that the original sources only could point at some attendees doing that… in a country where escorts and prostitutes are legal, and never mind that no organizers have been found to be involved, that accusation from Sam is a big fallacy as the Superbowl and other big meets have similar issues.

> **[Sex Trade Spikes During Conventions](https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=5629167&page=1)**
>
> Online ads for erotic services offer 'entertainment' off the convention floor.

Seeing how inept Sam is by identifying his sorry sources, I will not be surprised that he will not remember who told him that about the WEF.

Since we’ve been hearing about the WEF removing website articles to frustrate detectives like Sam, the _obvious_ explanation for lack of evidence of the WEF approving of prostitution is that they took down the pro-prostitution stuff along with ads for escort services endorsed by Klaus Schwab.\*

After all, if you “browse” right-wing sites in the know, you’ll find chilling evidence that the WEF [endorses harvesting children’s blood](https://factcheck.afp.com/world-economic-forum-did-not-send-tweet-childrens-blood) for its anti-aging benefits.

\*“I’ll be ready for another round of wild sex in a little while, honey, after my Great Reset.”

I’m losing track. Who’re you socking for now, HDBC or DrDeth? This comment from you is pure DrD BS. _Nobody_ is talking about your purported family. They’re talking about your obvious lies.
