I'm getting nostalgic for the time when everyone wasn't so nostalgic.

@BowTiedTrance You need truth, intelligence and a healthy sense of self for humor. It's truly amazing that Gutfeld is funnier than all his peers. The left has very little humor. I thought this piece explained it well.

Compare the comedy-persuasion overlap in this clip below with this "joke" from Kimmel.
There's no technique, there's no ambiguity, there's no "agree & amplify," it's just ... snark. Lazy snark.
That's why it's not funny. It doesn't draw the listener in like Gutfeld does. 👇

Comedy can be nuclear-grade Persuasion. (You've heard me say that before.) Jokes are instant reframes. Just watch this clip from @Gutfeldfox and notice: Clip 1: Overlaps with the Hypnotic Ambiguity technique -- he doesn't say the explicit part, your mind fills that in Clip 2: A form of the Agree & Amplify technique. Take the emotional energy of the original framing and elevate it to absurdity. I LOL'd (literally) at both of these. 😂

California is using "affordable housing" to push through projects without local control, input or oversight. Why do sanctuary states have so little affordable housing?
Governor Gavin Newsom@CAgovernor
If local governments fail to respond in the next 30 days, the state of California will go to court to make sure they follow the law. Every community needs to address homelessness and create new, affordable housing — period, full stop.

@TweetMangione @tenshi_anna That is interesting and really good point. I admit I don't know the different versions of the story that well. Contemplating and revising my thoughts on this. Thank you for that insight.

This raises an interesting question: how are we to characterize the qualitative specificity of the lapse from “nobility” to “celebrity”? I’ll hazard an answer: what occurs is a “democratic” corruption of one’s sense of teleological mission whereby the goal ceases to be the embodiment of a transcendent or supernatural principle and becomes one of satisfying the immanent aesthetic drives of a given “audience.” The irreducible value of nobility is tied up with the irreducible value of the supernatural itself.
But I think we can observe a convergence back towards this supernatural form of nobility within modern celebrity culture itself. @Grimezsz is a good example. Her form of openness to the supernatural comes through a celebration of the grotesque, but I would argue that this is precisely the cruciform essence of the beautiful itself. Mystique and solemnity irreducible to natural consciousness are precisely the referents that her “Gothic” music indicates. This is precisely the point where I believe traditional intellectual reflection has to grapple with the aesthetic relevance of alternative culture—which I would argue is precisely a form of counter-modernity.
It is also important to remember that Grimes, along with similar alternative-gothic artists like Purity Ring, Crystal Castles (demonic abuse scandal aside, their musical genius stands on its own merits, particularly that of Alice Glass—both visionary and “survivor”), and Flower Face are products of Canada’s “Red Tory” government project of investment in the arts. There was a 2010s “Canadian invasion” of alternative music precisely because of this program.

In order to survive, monarchic families have to avoid being seen as celebrities or mixing much with celebrities. They need to sustain mystique, solemnity and seriousness of purpose (like the king) and therefore in this sense de-modernise, not modernise.

1. Nationalize the central bank: back the currency with labor and agricultural exports.
2. Second Monroe Doctrine: halt the invasion from China, India and Africa, reign in their economic meddling.
3. Second Homestead Act: seize all foreign owned real estate, plant 10 million new farmers on the land.

For all practical intents, when you talk about Brazilian agriculture, you’re talking about China. China is using Brazil to break the American cotton, beef, soy, and grain industries. We cannot export our way out of this problem, because they’ll just burn down more rain forest and subsidize more acreage at breakevens that will destroy us. And at that point, they will decide our fate. Perhaps our leaders should refresh themselves on the Monroe Doctrine. The fate of rural America and American food sovereignty, nay American sovereignty in general, hinges on this question. A nation that cannot feed itself is independent and sovereign in name only.

@AgroNationalism No one is saying this in your replies. You are a liar and a poseur. You do not farm or know anyone IRL who farms.

I am using this post to harvest data about farming. Many farmers in the replies telling me in great detail how hard their jobs are.
In effect I am farming the farmers for an information crop.

America really hasn't come to grips with how fast small holder agricultural technology has progressed.
Tractors now versus 40 years ago are insanely better. There are implements and tools that our grandfathers could only dream of. But the technological increase happened at the same time as de-agriculturalization. So many think farming is drudgery but it's not actually that bad.
This is proven by 80-year-olds still farming. If you listen closely to Farmer's conversations they will talk about how low effort it actually is.

I have an uncle who cash crops around 300 acres and he works a month a year doing that. Most farmers who don't have animals have 2nd jobs because farming is a month of a year with new equipment.
