The attempt on Trump's life is truly horrifying. Ultimately, only the shooter is responsible for their actions. But we desperately need to take down the temperature of our political discourse and stop the constant alarmism. Just days ago, the official Biden HQ account posted

Kindness had gone pathological. Far from an unmitigated good, it's now one of the greatest threats to civilization. It's time to stop being kind to those who seek your destruction—and to know you are morally right for it. Read @JosephJakeKlein's essay: wetheblacksheep.com/p/its-time-to-…

Perfect example of why any organization or person seeking the truth must care about dissenting perspectives. The black sheep in a group often highlights crucial information the group is yet unwilling to face. Groups that suppress their black sheep are doomed to self-destruct.

Group identities are potent methods for mass control and "blackness" is no exception. In exchange for group acceptance, individuals give up their freedom and individuality. But what if you accept yourself instead? Read our latest by @wrong_speak: wetheblacksheep.com/p/blackness-is…

“Privilege,” the oppressor vs oppressed framework, the denigration of meritocracy, and the “means justify the ends” mentality are all signs of a bleak truth: Our culture doesn't believe in heroes anymore. And that’s great news for villains.

Change happens when people feel bad about holding bad ideas. But when a person's ego rests on a foundation of bad ideas, any challenge to them is a threat to their very identity. Read @JosephJakeKlein on what makes people reject their bad worldviews: wetheblacksheep.com/p/what-brings-…

Thinking like a black sheep means not just tolerating, but intentionally seeking unpopular but well-argued perspectives. It’s knowing that good ideas often come from the individuals willing to look where the collective won’t.

Schools are now the exemplars of how critical social justice is stamping out all other perspectives. One teacher applied curiosity and critical thinking to the ideas activist teachers were spreading—it almost cost him his career. Read @teecherreusch: wetheblacksheep.com/p/how-a-teache…

History is full of black sheep who chose to do what was right when the herd was wrong. Whether it’s your society, job, or family, everyone will face moments when they must choose between conforming to the group or standing alone for the truth. SOON:
