Did Trump say anything I need to know in yesterday’s speech? I didn’t watch, and there’s nothing except raw emotion on social media.

I only watched about 45 minutes of it. He did a good job talking about the progress made in the first month, a lot of it certainly good. But very little on the more controversial and consequential stuff; I didn’t get a sense of a clear plan or anything like that, and from reading about it later it doesn’t seem like a missed much after those initial 45 minutes.
I still have this very strong impression that immigration, religion, gender, etc. is just a control tactic to keep people’s attention away from potentially very unpopular measures that affect absolutely everyone, not just a very small subset of the population.

Thank you, this is what I was looking for. It’s also what I suspected which is why I didn’t watch and did my German exercises instead.
I also agree that we are being sicced on each other over gender, race and other crap to distract us while we are getting robbed. But we played right into it with all those George Floyd marches, etc.

I do not know if it qualifies as “emotion” and it is in Russian…

I would be really interested in seeing the list of sexual freedoms that this author considers to have disappeared or on the way to disappear.

Perhaps he means not removing these freedoms completely, but something along public ostracism…

Which specific freedoms would those be?
Would they, by any chance, include the freedom of female inmates not to be raped by men? I’d say it’s a pretty important freedom yet somehow nobody ever interpreted the rapes, beatings and persecution of women by trans-identifying men (and governments on their behalf) as preparation to war.
I also want to observe that while I have the fortitude to condemn the Tate Brothers, I’m yet to hear a single liberal condemning much, much more disgusting and violent actions of trans-identifying men and their allies towards women. Somehow, the extreme misogyny in those circles is never a big deal to the same people who are terrified of the rise of misogyny in right-wing circles.

I do not think Yigal is particularly left-wing. He is one of those “cynical realists” / rule of the jungle apologists. So I am not sure he is responsible for any of the hipocricy of the left.
