Ten years ago today Gab began with a simple conviction: ordinary people should be able to speak freely online without asking permission from governments, political activists, corporate gatekeepers, or a handful of unaccountable Silicon Valley executives. At the time that conviction seemed almost obvious. The Internet was still routinely described as this great decentralized force […]
The following post is the prologue to my new book The Christian Nationalist Vision. My journey to Christian Nationalism started with repentance. I grew up in the church and I never stopped believing in Jesus Christ, but like a lot of men I learned to keep Him in a box. Jesus was for my private […]
You are losing your home. Not in some metaphorical or spiritualized sense, but in the most concrete way possible. The country your fathers built is being handed over piece by piece while the people doing the handing tell you that noticing the transfer is the real crime. Your schools do not teach your children to […]
Our world runs on a lie so foundational and pervasive that most people cannot see it even when it is pointed out directly to them. The “fish in water” metaphor illustrates this problem well with how the most obvious and all-encompassing realities of our lives are often the hardest for us to perceive. Just as […]

The English word nation originates from the Latin natio which means birth, race of people, or tribe. It comes from natus, the past participle of nasci, to be born, which […]
Many of you have reached out about the recent Washington Post study comparing Gab AI to some of the largest AI labs in the world. First, let’s pause on how remarkable that is: Gab AI was included in the same conversation as companies spending billions of dollars on artificial intelligence. We are a small, family-run […]
The defining mark of our age is narcissism. We have built a society of people who believe every relationship exists to affirm them, every institution exists to serve them, every hardship is an injustice against them, and every other human being is a supporting character in the story of their own feelings. This is a […]
Over the past several months the Gab engineering team has been heavily refocused on something that should have never been neglected in the first place: listening to you. We went back to the community, dug through your feedback, your bug reports, your frustrations, and your feature requests, and we got to work. The result is hundreds of issues resolved, significant performance improvements across…
Australia is running a giant government commission on “antisemitism and social cohesion,” and the target is obvious: free speech, independent platforms, and anyone who refuses to repeat the regime-approved script. This is not about protecting people from hatred. It is about building the political and legal machinery to blame speech for social problems the ruling […]
The current discussion surrounding artificial intelligence has all the hallmarks of a religious awakening. It’s got prophecies of utopia, eschatological warnings of apocalypse, and a priestly class of technologists who speak in tongues about “parameters and tokens,” promising salvation through silicon. We have seen this movie before. The eschatological tone and the certainty that this […]
