George R.R. Martin explains how his Game of Thrones characters wielding power badly is his answer to Tolkien: "Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles? Real-life kings had real-life problems to deal with. Just being a good guy was not the answer. You had to make hard, hard decisions. Sometimes what seemed to be a good decision turned around and bit you in the ass; it was the law of unintended consequences. I’ve tried to get at some of these in my books. My people who are trying to rule don’t have an easy time of it. Just having good intentions doesn’t make you a wise king." What do you think Tolkien would have thought about such comments?

Bill Maher and Joe Rogan went hard on Ozempic and the idea that obesity is now officially a “disease” we can’t control. Maher’s take was sharp: just a few years ago, the consensus was that diet and exercise could handle it. Now the narrative has flipped completely — it’s a disease, you’re helpless, and the only answer is lifelong injections. The New York Times and mainstream outlets are all in, with almost zero dissent. Rogan pointed out the ugly reality: people on these drugs often lose a ton of muscle and connective tissue, not just fat. One study from Peter Attia’s patients showed that even after dropping 20 pounds, their body fat percentage actually went up because they were mostly losing lean mass. Both of them pushed back on the “no free lunch” idea. These drugs come with real side effects (serious GI issues for some), and the food industry has spent decades engineering ultra-addictive products loaded with sugar, fat, and salt. Maher’s best line: Cake was delicious in 1969 too — yet somehow people used to resist it. It’s a refreshing conversation about personal responsibility versus handing everything over to pharmaceuticals and calling it inevitable. Anyone else uneasy about how quickly “just eat less and move more” got replaced by “it’s a disease, take the shot”?

Women hate when normal girls captivate men because that would mean the thing stopping them from being captivating isn’t that they don’t have a bunch of plastic surgeries or just aren’t hot enough but that they might just be rigid, unpleasant and overall unappealing

thoughts?

The greatest lesson here is that men with this physiognomy are dishonest and react harshly to being called on it

The fatal error of most strains of Christian Nationalism occurs when we look at the way the world wields power (through domination & coercion), and instead of rejecting it, we envy it. We believe we can accomplish God's ends through the world's means. We want the ring.

Married men, honest question. If you’re working everyday to provide a home and a farm for your wife and your family, and you see your wife online praising two fuckboys blasting heil Hitler while cracked out on heroine for their “aura” What’s your response?

Nick Fuentes says marriage feminizes men and GOES OFF on wifeguys "It's enough to make you want to convert to islam—muslims are RIGHT about women."

Yes, you can have morality without religion. But can it last? Religious morality is a product of evolution—a narrative/incentive structure that encodes subtle truths about the interaction of game theory and wellbeing. In effect, it uses mythology to solve multipolar traps. It’s readily possible for individuals to act in accordance with these moral restrictions, without the narrative or faith. That said, a population that lacks faith in such a shared narrative is prone to being destroyed by cheaters who defect from the moral structure and individually profit by doing so. That profitable cheating behavior spreads and dooms the larger culture, if not the lineage itself. So the real question is: can a population that does not reliably maintain a robust religious framework persist? My best guess at the answer is: It is technically possible to have stable morality in an atheistic culture, but it’s practically impossible.

Alright Trump, you can import a few million of these:

This is the most jaw-dropping 4 minutes and 21 seconds you will watch this year. Nicole Shanahan — ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, former running mate of RFK Jr., and someone who personally signed nine-figure philanthropy checks — just went full whistleblower on the entire Silicon Valley “tech wife mafia” and how they were used. Her exact words (full clip attached): “I don’t think many of the tech mafia wives realize… they were used to set the groundwork for what Klaus Schwab calls The Great Reset. Their money especially was being conscripted through a network of NGO advisors, Hollywood, Davos, and their own companies. A really small group of people… completely blind to how their groundwork is being used to enable these Great Reset policies.” Then she turns the knife inward: “These women find their meaning through philanthropic work. I really believed I was helping Black communities and indigenous communities rise up. But now the problems have gotten worse. Crime worse. Mental health worse. The whole model is broken. At the end of the day they always go: ‘But climate change.’ Social justice + climate change — it gets progressive women 100% of the time.” She even says many now believe the biggest “climate change issues” are actually geoengineering issues. This isn’t some random podcast bro. This is a woman who lived in the mansions, sat on the boards, flew private to Davos parties… and is now saying: “We were the useful idiots.” Watch the full unedited 4:21 below. Sound on.
