2 20something girls in Brooklyn eating $20 poke bowls at park: Girl 1: Did you and Thomas agree on most things politically? Girl 2: (in fake affected valley girl accent) No, he firmly believed that capitalism is not antithetical to fixing climate change Girl 1: 😤 That’s terrible! OMG! 😱 The Marxist indoctrinated hive mind of urban lefty women who know nothing about policy whatsoever makes me want to puke 🤮

@7SleepersAwake @FracturedLight0 Yeah this “Trump is Jewish” line is garbage. I mean look at the guy - doesn’t have any discernible Jewish facial features whatsoever. Jews are an ethnic group (ashkenazi are Levantine / European hybrids) - he’s clearly a judeophile though

You people really have no clue what’s going on in this country. It’s shocking to see all this truth hitting the hoi polloi. Anyway dude this is a well known story. Trump is a NY Jew. By extension. If you don’t know this I don’t know what to tell you. “…his friends” include Roy Cohn and Carl Icahn and other Jews who were banned from the club. It’s in the documentary. Mar a Lago was the first club in west palm to allow Jews. Anyway, wake up man.

In a very revealing conversation, Tucker and Buckley Carlson discuss something many people may not know: Donald Trump is obsessed with WASPs. Why could that be? Tucker: “He hates wasps, but he’s also obsessed with them. I’ve talked to him about it many times…he’s very fixated on the WASP thing and does talk about it a lot.” Buckley: “There’s another group in America that’s kind of fixated on the WASPs too.” Tucker: “Yeah, well yeah, I’ve noticed that too.” Buckley: “Equal fervor and hostility.” Tucker: “If you have the total displacement after over 200 years of the American ruling class by a new group, that’s a big thing, but nobody says a word about it. And I’m not even taking sides in it. Though, you know, obviously I have a side to take…But like that happened. It happened over 40 years and now it’s complete. And like, no one can say that that happened. Are you kidding?”

@TMTLongShort I think your prediction is far off the mark on this one. He’s gonna avoid return to conflict at all cost and basically sign a new JPCA that has some wins, some additional concessions mixed bag he’ll call a massive victory

Prediction: this weekend Trump is going to bomb Iranian power plants and bridges in the early afternoon and airdrop guns in an attempt to drive regime change before the sixty day clock runs out next Wednesday U.S. boots will not be on the ground but Israeli and Saudi boots will be. Could be wrong. But feels right 🤷‍♂️

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

My favorite Jew. The best Jew. The best autist.

It's worth remembering that Mr. Winegard lost his faculty position a few years ago for claiming what yesterday's David Reich paper found: That evolution occurred in the human brain after humans left Africa, and that this drove increases in intelligence in Europeans and Asians.

Julius Evola in a nutshell - History is a downward slope into degeneration, of which we are currently in the worst phase - Modern society is one big decay of herd mentality, comfort-obsession, and disconnect from meaning - Equality is a lie. Societies should reflect natural hierarchy - The ideal human is not happy and comfortable but rather disciplined, self-controlled, and oriented toward transcendence - To revolt against the modern world, you must not conform to modern values but rather build yourself into something higher You must transcend your internal hierarchy, reject passivity, comfort seeking, and external drive. Operate from principle, not emotion. Oppose the type of human the modern world wants you to be.

Death through the eyes of science and the truth of our existence. Just 24 hours after the burial, something incredible begins underground. Bacteria that helped digest food begins to digest the body itself from the inside out. A stench is starting to rise - an invisible signal inviting bugs, worms and scorpions to feast. Soon all kinds of creatures will begin to move towards the body. The same body that once walked proudly, lived comfortably, and claimed status - is now no more than a decomposing block. The timeline of decline: Day 1 - Gut bacteria become active; worms and insects enter the body through the anal opening. Day 3 - Nose begins to deform; scorpions and insects begin to consume flesh. Day 6 - Noticeable changes to facial structure begin. Day 9 - Hair and nails begin to fall off. Day 17 - Stomach swells and eventually explodes, revealing internal organs. Day 60 - All meat disappears; only the bones remain. Day 90 - the skeleton falls apart. One year later - even the bones turn to dust. So where is the pride now? What happened to: Arrogance ? The greed ? EGO AND STATUS ? Titles, wealth, beauty, and power? Everything gets buried. The king and the beggar become equal in the dirt The person who ruled the lands now can't even protect his body from insects. Think deeply... We are made of dust And to dust we shall return, and in the end we become dust. This is the reality of every human being. So what really matters? Love, kindness and humility.

There’s this stupid idea which just won’t die: Cultures which were technologically & economically inferior to those that colonised/defeated/enslaved them were somehow morally superior, despite the fact that the only thing that prevented them doing the same was that inferiority.

If we lose Assyrians in Iraq, we lose a people from the *Old Testament* who are preserving *Aramaic*. If we lose Maronite Christians in Lebanon, we lose the last chance of culture in the Levant. If we lose Orthodoxy in Syria, we lose every last memory & legacy of Antioch.

Historically, the two deadliest mass murdering ideologies on Earth have been Islam and Communism... together responsible for more death, destruction, and human misery than anything else in recorded history. And right now, the Democrats have gone all-in on both. They’ve wrapped themselves in the blood-soaked banners of these twin evils like it’s some kind of flex. The party of tolerance is proudly platforming the two most intolerant, freedom-crushing death cults humanity has ever known. Say what you want about the Democrats, but they’ve got impeccable taste… in totalitarian nightmares.

“Historians will look back in stupor at 20th and 21st century Americans who believed the magnificent republic they inherited would be enriched by bringing in scores of millions from the failed states of the Third World.” —Pat Buchanan

@SimmyGardener I’m orthodox and I LOVE history. Particularly Roman and medieval Roman (“Byzantine”) history

I don't care about # of followers. I just would like some Strong Orthodox Christians who r lovers of history & books to chat with.

@valorthodoxia I have been every day brother from New York City to God’s “ears”. And every Christian Zionist i encounter I make sure to educate about the ancient Christian populations being systematically targeted for genocide by the Satanic Netanyahu regime

Please say a prayer for Lebanon☦️🇱🇧

The real divide in this country is between the working-class normal people, grounded in biological reality vs. privileged hypereducated effete elites & academic social constructivists, who create & live in a complete fantasy-land of utter delusion.

@yorozuya4ever @alc2022 Bro seriously? If you actually had “long covid” you think you’d be motivated enough to read a 7 min or listen to a 7 min article!

@alc2022 What peptide for long covid, im not reading the article

@dsaorthocaucus All glory to God in the highest heavens

@dsaorthocaucus It can work. I met my fiance less than a year after getting baptized and while I was still somewhat spiritually weak and she was only nominally Catholic. She converted and is getting baptized this pascha and we’re getting married soon after

i see a lot of parish guys worried about finding orthodox wives but i think you should find a regular wife who is broadly aligned with your morals and not be so anxious and dire about her converting. it'll happen naturally overtime as long as you not a dick about it

Actual Britain is a messy story of one big tribal alliance ("the Painted Ones") being conquered by a big foreign empire and then later being partially conquered by a foreign mercenary tribe ("The Knifers") and finally by yet another foreign mercenary tribe ("The Northmen"), and eventually they all stayed on the island long enough to mostly homogenize and ironically adopted "Painted ones" as their collective identity to go conquer the world, invent most of modern science and industry and finally doom themselves by starting a series of global wars against a slightly different branch of the "Knifer" tribe which resulted in both sides losing.

Low IQ, anti social behavioral traits and lax enforcement of behavioral standards leads to crime Crime is easily solvable. You brutally punish people who do it. You cannot make people implicitly more moral. You make the cost of bad behavior painfully high
