Antifederalist Caesar

My read on this is Trump is done with this war. He never intended for there to be boots on the ground. So the choice is now simple for Iran — open the strait and agree to no nuclear weapons or the US will destroy all their oil/energy and just leave, which will be so economically devastating for Iran it will probably be the end of the Islamic regime anyway.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Here are the clear objectives of the operation. You should write them down: 1. The destruction of Iran’s air force 2. The destruction of their navy 3. The severe diminishing of their missile launching capability 4. The destruction of their factories 🎯

The same street, 70 years apart. Hale Road, Walton, Liverpool. It looked immaculate in the 1950s compared to today. Why did people stop caring about their communities?

Simple. Japan is a homogeneous society. America says, “diversity is our strength”. Japan laughs.

it hasn't sunk in for most people. we already live in a post-scarcity society. UBI is already here. basic package: disability, medicaid, food stamps etc bonus package: literally getting paid for staying at home and hanging out with your relatives extra bonus: if you are willing to commit fraud, pretend your kids are autistic and get paid for that. get paid for watching your neighbor's kid. pretend you are taking care of your grandma. fake hospice clinic. fake rehab clinic. fake therapy clinic. giga bonus: during a time of crisis take advantage of PPP or CARES and open a fake business and get paid for existing people are shocked when they learn that defense is the FIFTH largest line item in the budget. ahead of defense: social security ($1.6T), interest on debt ($1.1T) medicare ($1T), medicaid + ACA ($1T), AND THEN defense ($0.9T) complain about defense all you like, but healthcare fraud is a way bigger factor. hundreds of billions per year. this is only going to get worse, because the fraud is a structural part of the system – payouts to client groups in exchange for votes (normally D). in the US, only 47% of the population actually works (fully 14% of the population is working age and does not work). retirees are 18% and children 22%. the system I described above subsidizes 50m non-working people absolute minimum, but really it's far more because people that are paid to stay home and take care of their relatives are considered "workers" of that 47% of "actual workers" maybe one third does real work, the rest are shuffling papers around or doing fake email jobs. so you have, rough math, 50 million actual workers supporting 300 million dependents. that's the nature of the economy today. it will only accelerate. eventually you will have 10 million using AI tools to do all the work and 340 million dependents. the reason no one roots out the fraud is because it's the system that keeps our extremely fragile polity intact. the fraud is the UBI. the purpose of the system is what it does. of course, it's a deeply unfair system, because you are allowed to commit fraud if you are a politically protected client group of the democrats. DOGE was killed faster than any government program ever, because it attempted to root out the fraud. if you are honest and unwilling to commit fraud, you are a huge loser in this system. your neighbor will have their mortgage subsidized by some government program. they will get favorable SBA loans due to DEI. they will open a fake hospice or autism clinic. they will get paid for taking care of their neighbor's kid and vice versa. the primary skill in the labor market is learning how to extract money from state and federal government programs, not gaining skills or making yourself employable. if you are just trying to work an ordinary wagie job you are a huge sucker. you are paying 40-50% effective all in taxes to everyone else who is a net taker. the sad part is because AI is such a substantial productivity boost, it will actually keep this system going for a while longer, and maybe in perpetuity. AI boosts the 15% of the population that is actually productive so much that the remaining 85% can coast by. no one in charge will change this because they can't think of anything else. the political costs of a real UBI program are too great and we don't have the money for it anyway. so we will keep this covert fraud-based UBI program running indefinitely. unfortunately, if you are an honest wagie, you lose.

I’m quickly becoming a one issue voter and that one issue is my country being handed over to foreigners.

Everyone talks about H-1B. Nobody talks about what feeds it. The Student Back Door. Directly from USCIS filings & congressional reports. 381k foreign students authorized to work in ONE YEAR. No cap. No test. And when they convert to H-1B, their spouse gets authorized too.

Very astute point from demographer Paul Morland. The exact year White Britons become a minority (2053, 2063, 2066 etc) is to an extent, meaningless. White Britons would have become a minority among younger cohorts much sooner. At the time of the 2021 census, 74.4% of England and Wales was White British. If you look at the demographics of pupils in England (Wales reports separately), then 64.9% of pupils were White British in the 2020/21 academic year, which is closest to the 2021 census done in March as the school census is collected in January. Lastly if you look at the ethnicity of births in England and Wales for 2021, 58.9% were classed as White British. The census is a lagging indicator.

Birthright citizenship is the loophole nobody wants to talk about. Work visa programs don’t grant citizenship to foreign workers—but if their children are born here, birthright citizenship does. Now think about it: Thousands of H1B workers. Years spent in the U.S. Multiple children per family. —it’s a slow, quiet transformation of the America we love. .By the time most Americans realize what’s happening, the America they knew is already gone.

You would have struggled to find someone of foreign birth in 1980s Texas. Today foreigners are 20% of the state's population. Their children are another 13% are the children of immigrants. It's time to reverse mass migration.
