@Womp_Tomp @MikeMillz34 I think he’s saying you gotta sometimes stomp them in real life for them to change, not just online, since they only respect violence. He’s not saying he’d stomp you. Could be wrong tho, I dunno.

If you say Jews are tribal and vengeful online they dox you and ruin your career. If you say blacks are impulsive and violent in person they stomp on your head. The lesson here is be antisemitic in person (jews are very frail), and racist online (blacks can’t figure out computers).

If you took every penny Musk had and used that $1T what would you do that hasn’t already been done for years and years across multiple states and countries? I can guarantee you wouldn’t solve homelessness or drugs or poverty or inequality. If money was all it took to solve these issues, why hasn’t the gov’t solved it with it’s $7T annual budget? Why haven’t all the NGO’s, charities, churches, etc solved it? How can you possibly believe that $1 T in the hands of the gov’t will accomplish anything more than be wasted lining the pockets of apparatchiks, NGOs, fraudsters, or incompetent gov’t employees. I can tell you exactly what you would do with it - you’d buy yourself a political career by promising free stuff in exchange for votes and never accomplish anything of actual value.

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

@mtaibbi I’ve genuinely wondered this. What even is the steelman Dem argument for why such a large chunk of their voters are unable to vote in person, and not only mail in their votes but always mail them in late?

Why would that be true? Why would Democrats inherently prefer to vote by mail?

They also don’t want to know. If you tried to explain any of it they would aggressively reject it. They are permanent children, they want to be taken care of and coddled and given everything they want, no questions or requirements. What’s worse is we’ve indulged this attitude for decades at this point.

There’s a pretty unassailable problem; they don’t know how anything works, nor do they have a notion about how it should.

Re: Karmelo Anthony and his defenders: Obviously there is some blind black tribal loyalty involved, but I think there’s something else and arguably worse. The facts seem to be this: Karmelo invaded another track team’s tent. He did this to assert dominance. When asked to leave, he issued threats: “touch me and see what happens.” After repeatedly telling him that he was not welcome, and in response to provocation, Austin Metcalf pushed him, trying to get him to comply with basic social norms. Karmelo, no doubt delighted that he had now received permission for escalation under his own code, stabbed Austin to death. The black defenders of Karmelo believe this is how society should operate: an endless war of all against all to assert dominance, escalating when one’s assertions are rebuffed. They’re mad that the justice system got involved, because in their minds this is the proper way to conduct business: omnipresent dominance signaling, inevitably leading to violence. They genuinely don’t understand that other people don’t operate according to those rules. And they certainly don’t understand that our rules, by drastically reducing friction and needless cost, are the very reason for the disparities in group power they complain about. We are polite internally and can thus exert greater collective power externally. A few Karmelos in the mix destroys this system. But they don’t care that running things their way would be the end of civilization, the end of their cell phones and EBT and air conditioning, because they don’t understand it. They don’t understand anything about the modern world. They are lost here, confused. This state of affairs is not sustainable.

Only if he were a Republican. They have no principles, no standards, no ethics. To them the ends justify the means and the ends they seek is power. They will obtain power by any means necessary, even electing an actual psycho with Nazi tatoos like Platner, or a moron like Harris, or an AG who fantasizes about killing his political adversaries. They’ll dream about abolishing the electoral college, packing courts, censoring and jailing opponents, etc etc. This is why pointing out double standards to them is completely ineffective. They don’t have actual standards, in fact to them it’s good and just that a diff standard applies to them. They are good and “on the right side of history” so by default everything they do is justified, even if it’s something they would condemn otherwise.

Clown level stuff. If Platner had a confederate flag tattoo they’d all be screaming at the top of their lungs…

“You can’t say such horrible things about immigrants, Nick! Have you ever even met one?” “Yes, Ms. Granger. I have.”

Consider also that the ppl writing the history books and building the curriculum that they were taught in school are raging leftists who will happily lie about even basic biology to advance their agenda. At this point, everyone needs to be very skeptical of the modern historical narratives that are told.

Consider all of the blatant lies that activists tell about cases we’ve all lived through. Cases where there’s video and forensic evidence disproving their claims. Think about how the false narratives spread anyway and eventually become mainstream orthodoxy. Now go back and consider every supposed racist atrocity from decades or centuries ago. Every “innocent” minority wrongfully persecuted by racist whites. I’m not saying that all of those stories aren’t true. I’m saying that you can’t assume that they are true. If they can lie about the stuff we all witnessed with our own eyes, imagine what they can do with the things none of us witnessed.

White ppl have been conditioned to believe that ppl across the world are noble at heart and agree with the basic principles of our western, secular society (violence is bad, tribalism/racism is bad, lying/cheating/stealing is bad, materialism is good, secularism is good, etc) but it turns out vast chunks of the world think violence, lying, cheating etc are totally fine if it helps them or their tribe.

There’s this weird ghetto honor system where they actually believe this is a case of self defense. That’s why he has supporters, that’s why people donated so much money to him. They really believe that he was justified in stabbing Austin for “putting his hands on me.” No of this testimony will convince his supporters because they already knew all of this. They think it’s fine.

@RundownRabbit @QuetzalPhoenix @GamingAndPandas That is precisely what it is, it’s an entire movement whose understanding of history, politics, economics come from Disney.

@QuetzalPhoenix @GamingAndPandas This really does just support the idea that modern leftism is adopted by a bunch of adult babies who want to legislate themselves into Neverland

Reminder that this is a feature of leftism, not a bug. If you dont believe me, Arthur Chu is a literal bug man and he lays it out very clearly:

@Babygravy9 Resident Evil 5 is a documentary.

African social media really is a gift to the budding armchair anthropologist.

No Reservations should’ve been one of my all time favorite shows, it was like a Top Gear but for food but I always found him so unlikable that I could never get into it for long. He was smug and arrogant but at the same time desperate to be liked and seen as cool, hip, and edgy.

Chef and author Anthony Bourdain died 8 years ago today.

@SkyNews Is diversity and multiculturalism just this headline over and over? A never-ending concern of being close to or even in a sort of inter-ethnic gang war? I imagine homogeneous societies don’t have this problem.

@GreeneMan6 @ThomBrady5 These are the girls who our education system was tailored to produce. They aren’t intelligent, they do well because our education system solves for obedience and progressive orthodoxy, not intellect, critical thinking or problem solving.

I have been seeing a certain archetypal commenter in the spotlight recently; all women my age, progressive, and employed at mainstream institutions. I don't know them. Yet in every case, I can intuit their origin story. It goes something like this: > be an older millennial female, no strong passion, but strive hard in school > reach High School > steer clear of the kids who like talking about “far out” philosophical issues > also steer clear of student government and debate club, which seems too contentious and vaguely threatening > focus on getting perfect marks, complying with college reqs. Get into top uni based on those marks > get introduced to politics in freshmen social justice class, instantly floored > the appeal of college politics is just how cut-and-dried it is. Unlike other fields, it has a clear “good” and “bad” side, no ambiguity. The “good” side always wins in classroom discussions, you feel like a hero for validating consensus with "The Conversation" > politics becomes your religion, “this is my passion!” > graduate with top marks and recs. Your degree is essentially in “Current Thing-ism”. Have no broad understanding of history or philosophy. > Your concept of human events is just people being oppressed for 4000 years until feminism and progress happened in the 20th c. > despite the Global Financial Crisis, immediately get hired by a government/media org because they want someone who “understands the role of female politics in our new digital era!” > most of your colleagues share your perspective, the ones who don't are older guys on their way to retirement, not looking for the confrontation that disagreeing with you would certainly involve. > great awokening happens, double down on Current-Thingism politics > organe-man-bad and COVID happens, triple down on politics. > you are 15 years deep in your career, you have never once genuinely engaged with a peer who didn't validate your worldview or who you didn't consider a "token" opposition to placade your political enemies > vibe shift happens, establishment uncertain, time to have a "conversation" with the people you've considered deplorable > have conversation, hear non-progressive opinion that is common in the modern world, historically ubiquitous > react with schock, umbrage horror. "Can you even believe this is happening?" > confident that non-progressive opinion is trivially easy to refute, somehow have no idea how to actually refute it > unaware just how deeply you have been betrayed by your education, such that the average educated man on the street has more practical understanding of what politics is than you do with decades of "experience."

@Rach4Patriarchy More ppl need to understand the prisoner’s dilemma. White westerners seem to think the whole world went thru the civil rights movement when we did

I don’t know how this pattern can be denied any longer. But for the first time in my entire life, I feel like people are finally starting to get it. It doesn’t matter if you think you’re not tribal, because everyone else is.

@Battleship63 @japan_nobunaga Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

@japan_nobunaga Sir. There is a famous phrase used by many in our Military. "Two is one, one is none". One (thing) can either fail or be consumed. Two, means you have a backup for that possibility. Three gives you a backup for your backup, and is where Glory begins.

USA. They sell food here in the sizes of war. A single jar of mayonnaise as large as my helmet. I bought two. One must always keep a reserve. I entered a hall so vast it had weather. Shelves to the heavens. And upon them, no small things. No humble portions. Everything sized as if for a siege. A bag of rice I could not lift alone. A tower of paper as tall as a child. Forty-eight of one thing, ninety of another, a vat of oil that could float a boat. And the people pushed carts the size of carriages, loading them as if the snows were coming and would not leave for years. I understood at once, and I was moved to my core. For it is written that a house is judged not in its feasting but in its famine — by whether, when the long winter comes, it can feed its own without bowing to any lord. This nation does not shop. This nation provisions. Every family a fortress, stocked to outlast a siege that is not coming, has never come, and against which they remain magnificently, gloriously prepared. So I provisioned. I filled a carriage-cart to the brim. Rice for a regiment. The helmet of mayonnaise, and its reserve. Enough paper to write the history of the world. Twice. And here my heart rose, and I declared the thing a calmer man would not: "Let the hardest winter in a thousand years descend. Let the roads vanish and the rivers freeze. I will not so much as rise from my chair — for I hold, in my garage, mayonnaise enough to outlast the apocalypse, and a man with that much mayonnaise fears no season, no army, and no god." The woman checking receipts at the door studied my cart a long moment. Then she smiled. "Big family?" "Not yet," I told her, honestly. I took my provisions home. And because no winter came — none ever does — I did the only honorable thing a man can do with a fortress full of food. I fed the whole street. We ate for a week. The mayonnaise held. So tell me, America. You call it buying in bulk. A Costco run. A little too much, as usual. I call it every household quietly ready to survive the end of the world — and then, when the world stubbornly refuses to end, throwing a feast instead.

@extradeadjcb It’s a purity spiral. Higher social status is tied to demonstrating one’s purity or by tearing down the “purity” of others so you get increasingly ridiculous progressive ideas coupled with increasingly hostile enforcement. “The Synanon Fix” is a great documentary that shows this.

Many saying "it's the trans" but the trans aren't a separate phenomenon After Obergefell the gay NGO/media complex needed a new cause The trans issue helped ordinary people to see "oh there's literally no way to make these people happy"

@adamcarolla What you need to realize is this isn’t a hustle. Virtually all ethnic, racial, or religious groups outside of european whites are just this tribal. They just use more modern language than “vote for me cuz I’m in your tribe”.

We had a black mayor over fifty years ago and he was mayor for twenty years 73 to 93. Can you get past the race hustler and start judging people on performance

@memeticsisyphus It’s never good enough, and each time it doesn’t work (cuz it never will), they use that to justify more repression, more censorship, more propaganda, more control, and it still doesn’t work, so they rinse, repeat.

They think it was the messaging. They always think it was the messaging. Which is to say they weren’t wrong they just didn’t explain it to you good enough.

@joeybeastmarket For ex: blacks routinely captured, enslaved, or sold into slavery other blacks. But that’s an inconvenient fact, so what to do? Make a propaganda movie called “The Woman King” about how instead of being slavers, they fought the European slavers! Anyone who criticizes it is racist

@joeybeastmarket This is kinda true of most situations involving black ppl tho. Facts do not paint a flattering picture of black history. A heavy dose of propaganda and threats of being labeled racist are required to cover up that reality.

You cannot factually describe the black people kool aid pineapple situation to normies without sounding like you’re in the KKK
