Cascadian Demosthenes

The 2025 Cascadian Demosthenes Reading List: My top 5 or so books read or reread this past year. All worth a thorough read, relevant to our current situation in the US.

@dhe3g Creator is Jewish, next question

i wonder why the boys makes fun of literally every aspect of right wingers except for their devotion to israel

@Loyal2tGo17 @owenbroadcast @Flatt0pH8r Yes

@C_Demosthenes @owenbroadcast @Flatt0pH8r Why was he Jewish?

another friend from NYC / LA came to visit me in rural red state world so i got to do one of my favorite experiments again wherein i drive by a few houses that have both of these flags up and ask them to tell me what they think is happening here

@cstavkat @PsyopEnjoyer33 @JasonBassler1 @Delta I see. I don’t fly international so wasn’t familiar

@C_Demosthenes @PsyopEnjoyer33 @JasonBassler1 @Delta They’ve been doing that for outbound international flights and it’s so absurd to me. It’s their way of replacing manual passport inspections

This is the TSA agent who got annoyed that I opted out of facial recognition, then scanned me anyway. Officer Nemec, I filed a complaint. I’m not holding my breath for consequences, but I will make sure the public sees you ignored my rights. 🖕 Spokane airport. Checkpoint A.

@PsyopEnjoyer33 @JasonBassler1 @Delta That doesn’t even make sense. Are they scanning you at the gate? The delta agent shouldn’t even know whether or not you opt out at TSA

@JasonBassler1 @Delta forced facial rec to board the flight even after passing security last few times I flew

Any recommendations for books on the Mexican-American war that don’t shit on every soldier who ended up fighting for the Confederacy?

@gs457gs @AlecMacGillis @benryanwriter Indians

@AlecMacGillis @benryanwriter What sort of fucking asshole behaves like this?

Am genuinely shocked by this anecdote. I cannot recall seeing this ever happen at college in the 1990s.

@Oilfield_Rando It sucks because for the most part Ike seemed like a cool guy, but he has the single worst decision of a president since Woodrow Wilson

Robert Welch was right about Eisenhower and I’m tired of pretending he wasn’t

@SuperTalkNews Jeff Davis would be ashamed of you

BREAKING: Gov. Tate Reeves is canceling Mississippi's special session that was set to begin next Wednesday after a federal appeals court vacated an order requiring the state to redraw its Supreme Court map. The Republican added he expects lawmakers to redraw congressional lines in 2027.

@mattforney I would contribute to his bail and I’m sure 249 other patriots would as well

Everyone getting mad at me for not leaping to Chud the Builder's defense is a moron who doesn't understand the is-ought distinction. Let me walk you through this using baby language. Chud will be charged with attempted voluntary manslaughter under Tennessee § 39-13-211. This is a class C felony punishable with 3-15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. He WILL be charged. No DA wants to establish the precedent that IRL streamers can cause public disturbances, shoot people, and walk. Even if the DA is sympathetic to Chud, he will be under immense public pressure to charge him. There is a very good chance the case never goes to trial. The vast majority of criminal cases end in plea deals, not jury trials. If there is even a whiff of a chance Chud could be acquitted by a jury, the DA will amp up the pressure to make him accept a plea deal. DAs love plea deals because they allow them to goose conviction rates and because jury trials are expensive and time-consuming. There are any number of means by which the DA can twist Chud's arm into accepting a shitty plea deal. The most obvious one is throwing him in county lockup and waiting out the clock until the day before the right to a speedy trial expires. DAs do this FREQUENTLY; a friend of mine who shot a black guy in self-defense was held in jail for YEARS because he refused to plea out and insisted on going to trial. Does Chud have the wherewithal to stick it out in jail for that long? He will either be sharing a cell block with black criminals who will be beating the shit out of "the n-word cracka" every day or he will be put in solitary for his own safety. Solitary confinement is so damaging to inmates that it shows up on brain scans. Chud is very unlikely to get bail because based on his antics as a streamer, the nature of his offense, public pressure, and his prior arrest history, the judge will deem him a flight risk and a threat to public order. If he does get bail, it will be insanely high (bail for class C felonies can be set as high as $250,000) and he will be barred from leaving the state. If he goes back to streaming like he normally does, it will almost certainly end in another incident that sends him right back to jail. Let's assume Chud goes to trial. The pressure to convict will be high. I can foresee the prosecutor arguing that Chud shouting the n-word at black people constitutes "fighting words" (a doctrine in both Tennessee and federal law, see Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire) and thus the black guy who attacked him should be let off. His history as an IRL streamer who intentionally creates public scenes will be used by the prosecution. His defense team will surely argue self-defense, which they should, but can that overcome the public pressure to convict a racist anti-Semitic groyper who makes videos harassing black people? He's in a terrible situation. And for anyone comparing Chud to Kyle Rittenhouse, you're wrong for these reasons: 1) Rittenhouse was not seeking conflict. Chud's entire career is about starting shit. 2) Rittenhouse was inherently sympathetic as a clean-cut white kid. Chud is a racist anti-Semitic groyper with a chomostache. 3) Rittenhouse's "victims" were white. Chud shot a black guy. Should Chud be found guilty at trial, his past history of arrests and disruptive behavior will likely result in the judge giving him a harsh sentence. There will also be, again, immense public pressure to throw the book at him. If you come at me with something like "oh you think it's OKAY for black people to assault white people", you missed the point entirely and are too retarded for this discussion. Chud might be justified in defending himself. He might not deserve to go to prison. But as Clint Eastwood said, deserve's got nothing to do with it. The justice system has every incentive to bring the hammer down on him, which is why he's a retard for putting himself in this situation.

@Negen_11 Patriot

In 2014, performance artist Emma Sulkowicz carried a large, heavy mattress on stage to her graduation ceremony to show, quote, “the heavy and outsized burden of unchecked immigration from the third world.”

@NickJFuentes I’ve been on your side until you dissed Putsch, that made me skeptical

All of the recent attacks against me are false and obviously coordinated. In the past few weeks I have been attacked hard by the ADL, CBC, Washington Post, Tucker Carlson, Laura Loomer, and now Bilzerian. They want to shut me down and disrupt the Groypers ahead of 2026 & 2028.

@AccentsSouthern Forrest Gump shouldn’t get close to the top 4

What’s the greatest Southern movie of all time?

@magicpanda_703 Send in the map

Tennessee has 3rd world life expectancy, war zone like violent crime rates, and its infant mortality rate rivals the poorest countries in the world. No, Tennessee is nothing like Massachusetts.

@MarmotRespecter I’d have a better chance guessing the ‘make and model’ of the driver

came the closest i've ever come to a head-on collision at 60+ earlier today you guys will never guess the model of vehicle that drove into my lane

@latexsnake53 @NickJFuentes He didn’t have to go all in, saying nothing would have been fine. Did you see his clip the other day? You’re just not smart.

@C_Demosthenes @NickJFuentes His take was never “don’t vote putsch” but rather with the campaign that he ran was terrible. Obviously putsch would’ve been better than Vivek, but why go all in on a losing contender? You’re just not smart.

The GOP thinks they can force us to elect a Hindu-Indian anchor baby billionaire who blames “lazy Americans” for being destroyed by free trade & mass migration. We can afford to lose Ohio for 4 years if Vivek Ramaswamy is retired forever. NEVER VIVEK.

@CarlosMoralesG_ Mercer and Sons remains undefeated

Oxford Shirts Without Logos: My Favorite Brands These are which I rate highest when looking for quality Oxford shirts with no branding. Premium Tier / Standouts Buck Mason -> Currently one of the best Oxfords on the market Drake's -> Timeless British elegance Sid Mashburn -> Exceptional fit and details Gitman Vintage -> Classic American heritage done right Proper Cloth -> Excellent made-to-measure option Strong Value / Go-To Brands Asket -> Clean minimalism and premium fabric COS -> Modern cut with great proportions Massimo Dutti -> Best accessible premium option in Europe Mirto -> Reliable Spanish brand with solid construction Solid & More Affordable Picks Banana Republic J.Crew Uniqlo (their Oxford shirts punch well above the price) Zara (select the right model and you can get great ones) I prioritize shirts with a chest pocket but no large logos, or clean plain versions. The fabric, collar roll, and overall fit are what separate the good from the great. Which of these have you tried? Any other brands worth adding to the list?

@SyntheticAnima If you can’t tell this is bait you’re ngmi

Honest question, do Mormons not have an equivalent of confession to help prevent minor infractions like this from spiraling out of control?

@CV__Politics Vivek is one of the foreigners. You think he won’t let more in?

this shit has to be a joke lmfao “my preferred republican didn’t win so now i’m going to compromise all of my values and help elect a democrat who will let in an infinite number of the foreigners i hate” like what the fuck are you talking about.
