The reason the zoomers and alphas aren't socialising, having sex, drinking, making friends, learning anything, do any hobbies that aren't on the 'puter, MIGHT have something to do with the fact that they have lived their whole lives in a late stalinist paranoia and they've learned in their bones that every social interaction is a Mexican standoff where you have to tease out how likely the other person/people are to report you to the secret police if you make any kind of misstep in a humiliating perverse and byzantine social culture, that is everchanging and change day by day, and will gladly destroy your life to get upvotes and reddit karma. AND it applies to everyone, it's not even a sides thing, the true believers in global 80's nostalgia Obama have to play the exact same game with each other as they play with you, the rebellious outsider. And they've never known a world outside this, so they don't even know they are playing it. They think that's just what life is

I’ve never been able to sleep. Too excited. Always bags under the eyes

Western civilization is awesome, actually

Write it on your heart: "To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the ends to the means." - Thomas Jefferson

You can’t call Republicans racist when this is their dream Supreme Court:

In the early Christian era you weren't even a man until you were near death from realizing the world is a chuck e cheese full of worthless prizes, in which case you were to be symbolically killed by baptism and born again into a higher realm. Now only the elite human capital get suicidally depressed that way and the rest say did you catch the game until they die.

Derek Chauvin is a political prisoner and should be released. His incarceration is as much of a travesty as any political prisoner in China.

I don't know why people argue with me over George Floyd. There are maybe like 12 people who know more about this case than me and none of them are academics or leftist. - It took 17 minutes for EMS to go 2 blocks because they went to the wrong address. - Chauvin called EMS 30 seconds into Floyds Arrest. - Floyd is seen on Camera consuming pills - Chauvin was trained in the technique he used and it was retroactively made illegal and prior training was hidden from the jury - The medical examiner admitted if this happened at Georges home with no police, it was an OD - EMS didn't hook George up to Oxygen when put in the ambulance. They forgot to hook the tubing to the O2 tanks - Floyd still had a faint heartbeat when he reached the hospital despite all of this

Quite the photo

If one man was able to charge through the metal detector and tear into the lobby with enough force that the entire security team had to pile on just to stop him, then imagine what a coordinated group of fifteen to twenty trained attackers would have done. The Secret Service would have been overwhelmed and taken out. And inside that ballroom, Donald Trump, J. D. Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and every other high-profile figure seated next to their wives would have been sitting ducks. It would have been a national tragedy on a scale this country has never witnessed.

There will be no return to normalcy, this is the end of the post World War II era. We're ten years out from something new.

A sclerotic legislative body can only muster effort for things that no one wants and helps no one, while immensely popular bills lay dead on the floor. Puppy races while this country rots

Of course he thinks this. It’s the only way a striver like him can achieve equal footing on this soil in the midst of a migrant flood. Past generations were content to achieve immediate equality under the law and to know that their progeny would achieve cultural equality through assimilation. Reducing an “American” to a passing grade on a civics test allows his ilk to fast-track the hard work of assimilating x.com/UnderCoercion/…

Been thinking a lot lately about Golden Age thinking, and how tempting it is. Clearly there are definite things that used to be better and we can/should work to bring those back, but this often leads to a sloppy nostalgia where we think there was some era in the past when we would’ve been satisfied. This seems indicative of a civilization in decline.

Shrinkflation

After the Spanish Right won the 1933 elections, Communists in Asturias launched a revolution, killing thousands before the army was deployed to finally put an end to the chaos. They did the same thing in Catalonia, and when that too was quelled, they engaged in a low-level terrorist campaign all over the country, planting bombs, sabotaging infrastructure, assassinating newspaper editors and political figures, and staging general strikes all over Spain. They kept doing this until they finally won the 1936 election, at which point the Left went full mask-off and began unleashing thousands of criminals into the streets, ransacking businesses, dragging conservatives out of their homes to beat them, and going into the countryside to expropriate private property. The entire country descended into a state of near-total anarchy in a matter of months. The Left spent years agitating for a Marxist revolution in Spain and refused to obey the legal system because they saw the Spanish Republic as a mechanism to achieve Leftism, not as a neutral system intended to uphold democracy, the constitution, or the rule of law. And thus, any deviation from the march towards Leftism was seen as an illegitimate act of treason and proof of an imminent fascist takeover of the state. As a result, ANY electoral victory by the Right was inherently treated as illegal by the Left, and ANY attempt to actually govern in accordance with Right-wing principles was seen as just cause to engage in violent insurrection. You cannot have a country like this for long. If one side treats the process as illegitimate unless it produces their desired ideological outcome, they will inevitably win unless they're physically stopped.

—I am glad we can rescue the pool for less. —I am glad the fountains work again. —I am glad we will have a ballroom instead of those skanky tents. —I am ok with making the Rose garden more functional. —I’m not a fan of gold fillagree —I like white space. —I laugh at but don’t care for the President autopen photo because I don’t like what it says to the world. The ones at the top are related to long term fixes for ongoing problems. The second half are taste issues that can be redone easily by the next occupant. Understanding the difference, and gratitude for maintaining existing spaces and creating new spaces which will work well for generations to come, is the difference between legitimate criticism and TDS.

“The right think guns are used for hunting and protection, because that’s what the right uses them for. The left think guns are used for murder, because that’s what the left uses them for.” (Matt Tabor) Few statements capture the divide between right and left on guns more truthfully than this.
