Who Watches the Watchmen?

Posted on October 23, 2019 by Max West

Dreher writes: “The alt-right in the US can’t stand me, considering me a Christian cuck,” before bemoaning how a prog in Australia (fellow white person Nick Riemer) wants to deplatform him. We don’t hate you, Rod. We just want you … Continue reading →
