My rant is not about the video itself; nor about the people who feature in it, who all seem perfectly decent.
Nonetheless, there are two rather large elephants in the room.

To the best of my knowledge, CEEC said precisely nothing about racism when one specific form of racism - antisemitism - was a national issue for 5 years, and formed part of the backdrop to 2 successive General Elections.
Does racism against Jews not count?

As a director of both @EvangelicalsNow and @ChristExplored, he failed not once but twice to take decisive action against Stephen Sizer's antisemitism when asked.

Stephen Sizer tells Press TV "the Jewish community...is paranoid about Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister." He corrected himself to say "Zionist", but his intended target was clear. https://t.co/y6Cl1lew5b

@HadleyFreeman has written that antisemitism is seen by too many as "a lesser bigotry".
@Baddiel argues, quite simply, that, too often, Jews Don't Count when it comes to tackling racism.

@snip96581187 @Daoyu15 @lab_leak @walkaboutrick @ydeigin @Ayjchan @franciscodeasis @TheSeeker268 @angie_rasmussen Clearly, because as I have been saying for 8 months now, DTRA and DARPA have been using Ecohealth and UC Davis to collect novel pathogens for gain of function work back in the USA. I have documented this in many threads which I will post here just to annoy everyone.

28. Before moving on to DARPA, let's look at DTRA:

A must read!
It is astonishing the number of pies they had their dirty little fingers poking into:

1. DARPA/DTRA use NGOs like Ecohealth or Metabiota to collect new pathogens
2. They are sent to US labs (Mailman, Rocky Mountain, Atlanta CDC, UNC, USAMRIID) for GOF work by Lipkin, Nichols, Rasmussen, Baric, Dension, Munster, etchttps://t.co/wqhHK7uZO6

1. The death of Silicon Valley, a thread
How did Silicon Valley die? It was killed by the internet. I will explain.
Yesterday, my friend IRL asked me "Where are good old days when techies were
2. In the "good old days" Silicon Valley was about understanding technology. Silicon, to be precise. These were people who had to understand quantum mechanics, who had to build the near-miraculous devices that we now take for granted, and they had to work
3. Now, I love libertarians, and I share much of their political philosophy. But you have to be socially naive to believe that it has a chance in a real society. In those days, Silicon Valley was not a real society. It was populated by people who understood quantum mechanics
4. Then came the microcomputer revolution. It was created by people who understood how to build computers. One borderline case was Steve Jobs. People claimed that Jobs was surrounded by a "reality distortion field" - that's how good he was at understanding people, not things
5. Still, the heroes of Silicon Valley were the engineers. The people who knew how to build things. Steve Jobs, for all his understanding of people, also had quite a good understanding of technology. He had a libertarian vibe, and so did Silicon Valley
