White Nationalist pretzel logic.
Fuentes then described how he has never been in a romantic relationship or had sex with a woman but is "more heterosexual than anybody. He added,
"If we're really being honest, never having a girlfriend, never having sex with a woman, really makes you more heterosexual, because honestly, dating women is gay. And if you want to know the truth, the only really straight, heterosexual position is to be an asexual incel."

Sanctioned F1 rookie driver sponsored by oligarch daddy whines about cancel culture against Russia.
I dont agree with being in the sanctions, Mazepin told the BBC for a TV program Thursday. Ive said previously that I intend to fight it, perhaps now is not the right time because if you look at the whole situation thats happening in the general case, its cancel culture against my country.
Mazepin also clarified that despite reports of atrocities committed by Russian troops, he would not be weighing in on the matter, because he is afraid of making anyone mad.https://jalopnik.com/nikita-mazepin-says-that-russia-sanctions-are-cancel-cu-1848765061

When Russia rebroadcasts Tucker & Fox, it demonstrates to the Russian people a freedom of speech denied to them. This is a win.

MLK suffered prison and worse to make us a better country. Rodgers wouldn't even wear a mask.
Asked if he was vaccinated, Yeah, he lied.
Now hes lying about that lie. He cites the facts that both the Packers and the NFL knew he was unvaccinated, as an affirmative defense to his violation of the league protocol for unvaccinated players.
If, despite its complicity, the NFL dares to discipline Rodgers and the Packers as it has other players and teams deemed non compliant with COVID 19 protocols, expect a lawsuit exponentially nastier than Deflategate.

From the Daily Beast:
You have a moral obligation to object to unjust rules and rules that make no sense, Rogers said, in the process misquoting MLK, who wrote in a 1963 letter from the Birmingham, Alabama jail, One has not only a legal, but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.
There is no law requiring NFL players to get vaccinated, nor is there a league-wide vaccine mandate. There are, however, COVID protocols that all unvaccinated players must follow.
