Dare I add to this excellent riposte: "If caring about your own citizens is colonialism, South Africa might want to give it a try."

FM @RonaldLamola, you blame concerns about violence and failed governance on "MAGA politics." Ghana and Nigeria just airlifted their citizens out of your country. Thousands of South Africans are fleeing to America to escape your government’s Left-wing policies. Unemployment still remains at 33% while you and corrupt government elites get rich while promoting race-based laws and chanting "Kill the Boer." If caring about your own citizens is MAGA, South Africa might want to give it a try.

What do the bureaucrats at @OECD mean by "protecting democratic space from undue influence"? This concluding session at a Fall conference in Paris reflects the growing anti-democratic ethos at the heart of all center-left political parties and institutions in the West.

Sometimes liberal judges say the quiet part out loud: "Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.”
Dries Van Langenhove@DVanLangenhove
A very sad announcement. I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration. In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least. Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration. In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence. Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.” That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth. Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration." You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible. Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it. The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration. Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail. Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win. If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM. If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

The chip-on-the-shoulder Irish are surely the world's most pathetic post-colonials, still wallowing in a self-piteous child's crusade against the Big Bad Grownups across the sea who were civilizationally superior in every sense and enjoyed a long and legitimate stewardship over their sad island.

Friendly reminder that roughly every 7 days, a nation celebrates its independence from Britain. 65 countries have officially claimed independence from being invaded and colonised by the British Empire or the United Kingdom, and when you spread their national days across 52 weeks, the calendar barely gets a rest. August alone hosts independence celebrations for India, Pakistan, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Bahrain, Afghanistan and Cyprus!
It's ironic some British patriots would see this as something to celebrate, even as their crumbling "United Kingdom" is unrecognisable since all the birds of it's colonies have rightly come home to roost. In hoc signo vinces. Looks like the sun really did set after all!
At its "peak" (if you can refer to parasitic psychopathy in those terms) the British Empire ruled over roughly a quarter of the Earths landmass and a quarter of its population. Nearly 60 of the planets current 195 UN-recognised sovereign states were carved directly from the Butchers Apron.
This doesn't even include invasions. British military forces, privateers or state-sponsored expeditions at one point invaded, fought a conflict in, or established a military presence in approximately 171 out of 193 member states. That is close to 90% of the planet.
But what you should be studying is how it happened and how the wind is blowing. The East India Company, granted its original charter by Elizabeth I in 1600, eventually commanded its own army of over 260,000 soldiers, twice the size of the British Army itself, and administered a subcontinent of hundreds of millions of people in the name of shareholder profit. The Hudson's Bay Company, chartered in 1670, claimed sovereignty over 40% of what is now Canada.
Now in 2026 as we hurtle towards a techno-feudal world state, where corporations own countries wholesale, whilst they all have us blaming and killing each other, remember there`s nothing new under the Sun. And this time around, with AI and machines, neither human mental or physical labour (or compliance) will be required to maintain that power indefinitely. Spoilers.

Food for thought.
The Myth of Decline, Reversed
In 1945, the United States possessed power no empire had ever known. It alone had nuclear weapons, no peer competitor, and no constraint on converting victory into domination. Yet it chose construction over conquest, building Bretton Woods, a rules-based system, and the security architecture that became Pax Americana.
America rebuilt the nations it had just defeated. The Marshall Plan turned enemies into allies and devastation into industrial recovery. West Germany became Europe’s economic engine within a generation. Japan rose from surrender to the world’s third-largest economy.
American aircraft delivered supplies into Berlin, deep inside former enemy territory. At maximum leverage, the United States chose restraint. That became the moral foundation of the postwar order.
The decline narrative mistakes transition for collapse. From Spengler onward, observers have confused adaptation with exhaustion. But decline is not mood it is loss of capacity to act. By that measure, the United States is not declining.
American power endures. The U.S. accounts for a quarter of global GDP, dominates technological innovation, and fields, with allies, the majority of deployable military force. The dollar remains the reserve currency. American energy production leads the world. What has changed is not capacity, but sustainability.
For decades, Washington has played universal guarantor while expanding domestic commitments and pretending deficits carry no cost. That era is ending.
As Kissinger understood, no order survives on power without legitimacy or legitimacy without power. “Power without legitimacy tempts tests of strength,” he wrote. “Legitimacy without power tempts empty posturing.” The task is restoring equilibrium between commitments and capabilities.
The Gulf moment presents that opportunity. For half a century, the global economy has operated under the 1979 Iranian Revolution’s shadow: constrained supply, chronic instability, embedded risk premiums. A durable resolution, securing oil flow through Hormuz, constraining proxy warfare, reintegrating Iran into regional order, would dismantle decades of strategic dysfunction.
The implications extend beyond the region. China’s model depends on imported energy from unstable suppliers. Constrained supply and elevated prices subsidize geopolitical leverage. Abundant, diversified supply would compress rents, reduce risk, and expose Beijing’s vulnerabilities.
Add Venezuelan normalization, the world’s largest proven reserves, and the energy landscape transforms. Sanctioned supply returns, risk premiums compress, and sustained $60 oil becomes plausible.
Energy is the master variable. Lower, stable prices reduce inflation volatility, improve capital allocation, raise real growth. Combined with AI advances, the result could be transformative: a productivity cycle driven by cost compression, not debt expansion.
The Cold War’s end released a peace dividend financing globalization and the internet age. Resolving the Iran-centered energy order could produce a second dividend, restoring coherence to a strained system.
Churchill knew: safety in oil lies in variety. But control over energy is control over the strategic environment itself.
The United States is not declining. It is a dominant power confronting unsustainable posture and the opportunity to correct it. Resources remain. Power structure favors the West.
Under Trump, investors should assume the will exists and position accordingly. The actions thus far suggest they would be right.

Wow! Marco Rubio just labelled the entire UN migration scheme as a cover for "replacement migration" in the West.
Department of State@StateDept
The United States will not legitimize global compacts that enable mass migration into America or Western nations. Under President Trump, the State Department will facilitate remigration – not replacement migration.

Why do American universities continue to hire PRC nationals? Every single one has grown up in an eco-system that encourages research fraud, political fawning, and ruthless dog-eat-dog behavior. Never a benefit to Western civilization and culture. Never.

The CCP’s high-pressure "success at all costs" academic system has just suffered its most embarrassing exposure yet. On May 11, 2026, elite Tongji University fired lead researcher Jin Jiali and stripped Dean Wang Ping of his post after confirming that their a decade-in-the-making cancer study in the journal Nature was built on a foundation of impossible, fabricated data. The fraud was so egregious that academic sleuths calculated the mathematical probability of the data occurring naturally at 10 to the power of negative 32. To put that in perspective, the universe isn't even old enough for such a "coincidence" to happen once. Investigators found that images were rotated and recycled across different experiments, while complex sequencing data was reverse-engineered to fit a desired outcome. This wasn't just a mistake; it was a systematic deception fueled by millions in state research grants and the intense pressure to deliver "breakthroughs" for the Party's prestige. This scandal is pulling the thread on a much larger web of academic rot. Similar investigations have now been launched into deans and decorated scientists at Nankai University and Sun Yat-sen University for near-identical data manipulation. In the CCP’s academic apparatus, where funding is tied to "hats" and prestigious titles, research is often not allowed to fail. When the penalty for honesty is career death, fabrication becomes the standard operating procedure, turning China’s scientific output into a house of cards. source:caixinglobal.com/2026-05-11/eli… #UnveiledChina #AcademicFraud #NatureJournal #ScienceIntegrity #CCPCorruption

Indigenous culture is the real source of indigenous "genocide", and escaping from it -- whether to a residential school, a Canadian city, or a white spouse -- has always been the only pathway to "survival". Facts are a bi*ch.

Unpopular take: Getting off the reserve alive is what makes an indigenous person a “survivor,” not having attended a residential school. Here’s why. You may want to bookmark this one. 1/10 🧵
