Not to be petty but to correct Moldovan’s DeSantis analogy with Restore, it’s more like saying “because of James Fishback, Bernie Sanders’ new party will win in 2028.” Neither the Greens nor Restore have any realistic chance, and the latter are only marginally chipping away at Reform’s lead.

🌙🦉Night Owls🌙🦉Episode 81 is available free for everyone. On this episode, we call each other Jewish over Iran and then we call each other Jewish over the controversy between J’accuse and Restore Britain. Then we talk about mystery meat zoomers discovering Resident Evil 5, Muslims attacking an NYC protest, Muslims attacking Old Dominion University, and Moldovan Fan on racism and the Oscars. (Link below)

I am ever more grateful to BAP now, given every other post shoved on my feed makes me feel like I'm losing brain cells. I hope for BAP forum someday... respite from total slopification of the interweb.

David Lynch: NO

This is why the Trump administration has so dedicated itself to eradicating racist discrimination. We've eliminated funding for DEI, required government grantees to certify that they're not engaged in DEI, fired a number of DEI employees, and asked the great @HarmeetKDhillon to aggressively prosecute all forms of racial discrimination. For too many Democrat leaders, racial discrimination was bad unless it targeted white men. This was an injustice, plain and simple. The above essay explains why.

BAP does a beautiful job with these podcasts

This thread by Eric Weinstein did "the viral" a few months ago. I don't know Weinstein himself and he says he's been talking about immigration since the 1990's--if so, then good, but again I don't know what he was saying at the time. But if he spoke out against the bad effects of immigration at the time he would have been in a super-minority. So I want to criticize for a moment the kind of emotional faux populysm I see in this thread. On the matter of immigration as so many other things (e.g. the Iraq War), a number of posters and pundits, many of who are older and had opportunities to speak out before are now making threads like this hinting darkly at betrayal by a Cabal of Elites who tricked the people. These pundits are then positioning themselves as Revealers of this betrayal and presumably defenders of the people and speakers for nations and peoples Deceived and Forced by nameless bad guys. I've been against mass Third World migration--which is the real problem of our time, Global South migration--since I can remember and I want to write briefly my experiences having these opinions in the 2000's and even 2010's, because it's not what these wannabe Populyst Champions like Weinstein are saying now. First of all the peoples of USA and Europe had plenty of chances to vote for immigration restriction candidates of every type, and for the most part refused to do so. Pim Fortuyn in Holland was a rare exception, and he was assassinated, but his assassination didn't have a chilling effect on other candidates offering a program of migration restriction or remigration. There were many "offers" throughout from the 1990's onward. It's simply that the people didn't have this as a priority. Yes I'm aware of polls saying "75%" and "80%" being "against illegal immigration." I've used those numbers myself in argument for a long time. But a lot of those polls depend on how you ask a question. It costs a responder nothing to say "yes I'm against illegal immigration," after all illegal is bad right? That's kind of like thinking someone following "Pepsi" on X means Pepsi ideas must be very popular. In fact though if you were to tunnel into it, that 80% would vanish: for example in the USA, if you were to ask people if "Dreamers" should be deported, and explain to them that these were people who had lived in the USA since a very young age or 2 yrs old, etc., support for deportations for this group for example would vanish (idk if this changed recently but was certainly the case even into Trump 1). This is just one example though. In Europe also, if you actually press on specifics in a question, these supposed high % for immigration restriction would vanish. Even more important, the fact that a high % say they believe something in a poll says nothing about the weight they place on that. Thus it's possible for even supermajorities in west Europe and USA to have been "against immigration" vaguely in a poll, but it wasn't any kind of top priority of these peoples. They mostly shrugged it off. The evidence for this is partly in how they voted. Presented with candidates who made immigration the #1 issue, they refused to vote for them consistently. Tom Tancredo in the USA had made immigration his most important matter, and he never got anywhere, even within the GOP, he couldn't win primaries or even close. Other parties in Europe mostly failed for the same reasons. It took tremendous intelligence and discipline for the far right in Denmark to get their program popular and then coopted by the Social Democrat establishment (and unfortunately given the general level of "right wing" or Populyst intelligence in the rest of the West, even that modest success is unlikely to be replicated). I remember also my own experiences arguing for immigration restriction over many years, and it's not what Eric Weinstein and these other supposed Popular Champions are telling you now. I had decent but very modest responses on this matter from GOP people I argued with--they were mostly hostile and sometimes when they agreed with me, again, it was not a priority. I went to many working class bars in whatever city I lived in, and I lived in a few. Whether in Boston bars or NYC, and Boston as @Steve_Sailer will tell you still has (or had) a self-conscious territorial white working class. These are the people that Dissidents now especially insist are the Salt of the Earth betrayed by capitalist fatcats and the New Left. I had consistently the same experiences in these environments though. They repeated mostly the same talking points about "they just come here to work," and that they had no problem with them, and that I could possibly be racist for suggesting there might be something wrong with Third World mass migration. (The only consistent point I could get them to agree on was that giving in-state tuition to illegals was unjust). But if you imagine that there was mass dissatisfaction on the part of the white working class over mass migration, or that they felt they were being oppressed or had a boot on the neck being forced into it you're very off, or, as in the case of Weinstein... I believe being dishonest for clicks. In Europe the situation with the working class that exists there has been consistently the same. Working class people routinely vote for pro-migrant socialist parties, who advertise that fact. The most migrants in Spain are in Basque Country and Catalonia where "socialist nationalist" parties (in the case of the Basques) welcomed them as allies. I won't dwell on this because I've talked about it elsewhere but it's a consistent commonality of all "socialist nationalist" and malding "traditionalist socialist" parties all over the world, including in Argentina under Kirchner, which also busted open its gates to mass migration from Peru, Bolivia, etc., as "allies against the elite fatcats." This is also a program of the the Dissident """right""" in the USA, by the way. Contrast to the early 1920's in the USA, where massive popular protests led to the enactment of the migration restriction acts and buttressed what was left of Anglo-American identity. For a long time, and since early 1990's the prime speaker against mass migration in America has been Michael Savage. His show on radio was wildly popular, but no one admitted they listened to him (it helped also that he was one of the funniest men in USA in the early 2000's). Savage was fired from MSNBC (look into how...it's lol) which is par for the course, but he was also BOYCOTTED at Fox News, to the point where they had a policy that his name couldn't be said on air. Again, he had an audience probably several times the size of Tucker's audience now. Many of those Fox News type people et al are now talking like Weinstein in this thread though. Weird! If all this rhetoric about mass migration and several other topics was just the people in a democratic society being fickle, stupid and lying as they are, trying to pretend they weren't party to the disaster unfolding in the West since at least the late 1980's with mass migration, it would be somewhat excusable....you could shrug it off. "The People are like that," and so on. What offends me is the positioning of people like Weinstein who were around at the time and...what were they doing? Again, let's leave Weinstein aside, maybe he indeed was writing papers warning on these matters. But most who take this position now certainly weren't. Sometimes I think many of you don't know that Ann Coulter, e.g., was stomping for the Iraq war into 2008. "But now I am a defender of You the People against the Dark Betrayers who Tricked You." This is more evidence to me that after Trump...we'll see. But it doesn't look good. David Frum by the way was a major anti-immigration voice before Trump, but became viciously anti-Trump in 2016 and is now deranged against him. Neither his advocacy of antimigration before, nor the passing of the border wall law under Bush 2, nor the Clintons' own statements "against illegal immigration" from the 1990's, nor Bernie Sanders' own positions on this have ever meant anything in terms of translating into a policy that reverses or even stops mass migration. That's not only because of institutional path-dependence, still less because of Dark Hands tricking people, and more because it was not a priority for the vast majority, whether in govt. or among the people. As we see now, they fold upon use of even a fraction of force in "brutal raids." And if Trump were to enact policies that penalized employers--which would force self-deportation--the braying against him would be even more extreme by the way. If he does so it would have to be done gradually and tactfully so as not to upset "these gentlemen and ladies" of the electorate and the fine people who pay them at their jobs. The short of it is that people are weak and stupid. I can maybe look the other way when it comes to The People and hoi polloi, but the pretenses of these pundits and intralexuals are intolerable. Again, what were you all doing while that "betrayal" was taking place? (I am sorry for long post on X, I object to long posts and don't mind if you don't read this. I might put this on Substonk I wasn't sure if it's worth having a blog entry on this though.)

@uncledoomer You can also invest the $1m into safe debt at 4% and make $800 a week, and you still have the $1m, dummy.

her average lifespan is gonna be 81.1 years 61.1 years of weekly $1k payments is about $3.2 million currently, a medium risk income portfolio with weekly disbursement adjusted for inflation would give her around $500-$750/week i see nothing wrong with choosing the $1k/week

None of this is real and it literally doesn’t mean anything. “You’re supposed to have it figured out…” What? Have what figured out? There’s nothing to ‘figure out’ anymore because we destroyed the social bonds and chains that allowed you to ‘figure things out’ in the first place. I mean really: what are we supposed to figure out? Our career? I have relatives who made careers in computer science for decades who have now been out of work for two+ years because nobody is hiring. Our dating lives? More random and tumultuous than ever because of a combination of choice poisoning and general malaise amongst the youth. Asset ownership? We live at a simultaneous time of immense asset valuation that locks many people out period and insane market fluctuation that removes the security that assets once had in the first place! Do you want to know what’s happening? You want to know why no one has it figured out? It’s because we’re not living in the 1950-2010 era anymore dipshit, we’re living in 1750 again and all of the stable social structures you thought you could rely on are being destroyed by a combination of technological and social changes that will radically alter the world as you understand it in the next 20-30 years. “Figured out.” Do you have it “figured out?” No you fucking don’t. You’re the one who has *nothing* figured out, which is exactly why you’re so arrogant, you still don’t understand what’s going on. Everything you think you’ve ’figured out’ is as unsteady as quicksand. If you want to survive you should stop believing you have anything figured out at all and learn to live every day on your feet, because that’s the way the world works; that’s the way it’s ALWAYS worked until your grandparents managed to produce temporary conditions of remarkable stability for exactly 60 years of humanities aeon-long existence.
