@KurtSchlichter Every 80+ years, a big war happens 1776->1861->1939->2020s 2028 could be it. Dems win, they're overbearing & out of touch. GOP wins, the Leftists use violence Could also just be all the wars today add up as "WW3" & the US transitions into the new order. Was the case in 1690s

The civil war they start will be lit

@HomericFuturist Lol yeah but it stops certain terror proxies, it puts pressure on China, & it stops the Leftist-Islamist alliance from taking further shape. Just b/c it's not a cure all doesn't mean it isn't putting dents

The war in Iran doesn’t stop Spanish girls from getting gang raped and euthanized It doesn’t eliminate groomers in the UK It doesn’t stop fentanyl coming into Appalachia It doesn’t put our statues back up It doesn’t prevent the EU de banking nationalists It doesn’t stop trans shooters It doesn’t make houses cheaper It doesn’t make food more affordable Its not some strategic chess move, we were told the last 20 years of war were strategic chess moves and all we got was sold out

@BradRTorgersen The Ultimate Gen Xer

Okay, so here's what I've thought about Joe Rogan for almost four years. Rogan doesn't have fixed principles. He has takes, and he has vibe. I would argue he is the crown prince of takes and vibe. Rogan is the coolest kid in class. And he will change his mind on issues (and people) whenever it suits him. If he thinks it's cool to be seen talking to you one year, he will do it. But if suddenly it's (later) cool to be shitting on you? He'll also do it. Cool kid is as cool kid does. Joe's weather vane is forever aimed in the direction of what he perceives to be "cool" and there isn't a heap of ethical discernment happening. Again, just takes and vibe.

@thewardoll Wait until 2028 While it would be absolutely fun to enact those hunter-gatherer instincts (certain people don't know how fun it'd be or else, they'd shut tf up), despair is a sin. Regardless, this thing will end in 2032 as an L for the Left. No other outcome exists.

When you realize there's no political solution, and there's only one way out of this mess.

@Jesse_Leg Democrats hated by young men & close to 80% of the US for a good reason

After 2024, the Left was desperate to identify “their Joe Rogan” and convinced themselves doing so would be a silver bullet for all their problems. Many left-wing elites landed on Hasan Piker as that person. There were a lot of big magazine profiles on him, and the consensus was that, despite all the nastier things about him, he needed to be celebrated frequently, platformed consistently, and defended vociferously. What are those nasty things? Well, Piker is a Marxist, antisemite, misogynist, and an apologist for terrorists who have killed Americans. He has called Jews “inbred” and declared that property owners who don’t rent out their homes should be killed while letting “the streets soak in their red capitalist blood.” He has compared supporters of Israel’s existence to “rabid neo-Nazis” and said he doesn’t “have an issue with” the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah. He has offered justifications for Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Hamas’s October 7th massacre—even stating that “it doesn’t matter if rapes happened on October 7th.” He has claimed “America deserved 9/11,” praised the Chinese Communist Party, and gleefully shared Houthi terrorist recruitment videos with his audience. What left-wing propagandists like Jon Favreau and other Democratic operatives working overtime to make Piker kosher missed is that, while Rogan is generally non-hyper ideological and flexible on many issues, Piker is a genuine Third Worldist radical. He unabashedly roots against America and for our foes in Russia, China, Cuba, and Iran in a way Rogan is a lot less likely to, even if Rogan entertains plenty of conspiracy theories I find silly. As you watch countless Democrats now defend this anti-American subversive, who literally believes our country deserved to have thousands of innocents murdered by al-Qaeda on Sept. 11th, keep in mind they’re defending who they think is “their Joe Rogan” because they can’t contend with the fact that they lost the real one—and would rather appeal to this scum for support than figure out why they lost Rogan or try to win him back.

@ThomBrady5 Easily a test & they failed. Now, NATO has lost legitimacy. YES, it's a defensive alliance but it's also an alliance of interests. If no interests align, why defend? Why not just let Russia take it over the next 50 yrs? Also, FR+UK begged US to help in Libya but can't help here?

Europe fumbled the ball pretty hard on the Iran War. Europe could've sent 10,000 infantry per country and 10 ships per country and held the troops in reserve off the coast of Africa, with zero risk of actual combat. Now they revealed NATO is pure downside for American citizens.

@shortmagsmle I always felt he was overrated but I don't dislike him like many who are retroactively judging him b/c he is no longer in good standing w/ their favorite politician. Some ODA guys hate him though

Was anyone a bigger let down than “Mad Dog” Mattis? There was always this hype around him but ultimately he turned out to be an old guy telling troops to hold their fire, passing around a Reddit-tier reading list, and doing paid speaking gigs about liberal democracy and rugged chungus military equality

@nikoalifero @__itya @KeyJay115 It's because you're sneaking towards an objective while flying in a very narrow canyon & it's game over if you fly above elevation, just like the film The other ones, you're kinda sneaking/evading but the premise isn't the same (ex. enemy AA already sees you) nor is the penalty

@leercrane @__itya @KeyJay115 Uhh canyon flight has been recurring mission on Ace Combat series for decades tho. I think people using the AC7 as comparison due to it's the most recent and it has the best graphic (for now). Seems i missed out people using it as "the" canyon flight

The plot devices of both No Time To Die and Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning are lifted near verbatim from Metal Gear Solid. It's happening. The credit just isn't being given because it's a "lesser" medium.

@nikoalifero @__itya @KeyJay115 The Canyon Sneaking mission everyone compares it to was released in 2019. The film had already been shot then

@leercrane @__itya @KeyJay115 Uhh Top Gun Maverick is written and produced before 2004?

@__itya @KeyJay115 Except it was written & produced before that game even released

@KeyJay115 Entirety of Top Gun Maverick is 1:1 copy of Ace Combat missions

@Osint613 Should the US leave, it's a return to history where Euros fight one another & where Germany will be aggressive against its neighbors Internationalists cannot understand this. They have mistakenly assumed it is institutions that keep the peace & that the US factors little into it

@Osint613 This fool specifically talks about the "rules based international order" but all they've done is signal that the US will be writing the rules & Europe WILL comply. Basically, there is NO international order b/c only the US keeps it going & can leave at any time, dooming Europe.

Once Germany and the EU were part of the world order. I understand not wanting to join war, but allowing the Islamic regime to keep leverage over the world is not a better option. It’s an unfortunate situation, but the reality.

@ScottDMenzel Tbh, we're in dire need of a civil war. Just like the first two & World War 2, those set the tone for the next 50-70 years in terms values we cherish & use to generate art That's the only way the culture war gets resolved. Also the only way the modern creative is purged

@ScottDMenzel Therefore, the modern creative continues to adopt philosophical materialism as the basis for their writing rather than, say, classical liberalism or a spiritualism counter to that materialism. The latter were prevalent in everything pre-2010. Retards don't know this though

He’s not wrong. A big reason films are underperforming is the drop in overall quality since 2020. Too many movies just aren’t good enough to justify the cost of a ticket anymore.

@ivanburazin I mean, yeah. But it's also the fault of Sora Looking at Seedance, it seems they realize what people want to consume & then, already streamline that process for them. Hence, it looks superior. Tech nerds need to realize it's not about delusions of choice so much as streamlining

OpenAI shutting down Sora is the most predictable outcome of misunderstanding consumer behavior. Everyone grossly overestimates how creative people want to be. 99% of humans simply want to scroll and zone out instead of spending energy conceptualizing, editing, and creating videos. No matter how much the barrier to creation is lowered by a single prompt. It still takes effort and a fair amount of creative thinking. Even Instagram has 2 billion users. But hardly ~10 million (or 0.5%) would be serious creators. So any AI consumer app betting on "with [new_app], everyone becomes a creator!" is being delusional and will go down the same way. After all the word "consumer" exists for a reason. They consume. They don't produce (or even want to lol)

@AlexanderPayton Those who suffer TDS are simply bound to automatic failure. In the same way they rejected alternate energy sources in the 2010s & now, pay the cost...most European leaders are still doing the same via military/cultural/economic/financial/immigration policies. It's costing them

No one who believes the United States would have annexed Greenland by force belongs anywhere near power. Complete inability to understand reality. The fact that this was what the Europeans thought was going to happen should set off alarm bells.

@ShortsleeveMA This is why I support the death penalty as the default for murderers, from here on out. Same article says 18 have been ok'd for parole, including 13 who were granted NO parole in the past.... Basically, a Democrat will try to free criminals someday so execute them first

He and two friends lured a father working as a pizza delivery driver into a trap and butchered him for just over $100. Now the parole board says he’s ready to walk free. This is beyond wrong, It’s shameful. We need to fire the entire parole board, every single one of them. Massachusetts cannot keep rewarding brutality and calling it justice.

@thedimitri I do wonder how much cultural trends matter here I recall the Japanese readers selected their own Playmates of the Year back in the day (70s-90s) & imo, they were better than the US's picks But today, I could see them picking generic faces w/ flat features & overly caked makeup

This is an example of Asian face blindness towards white people. This women is mid, not "so stunningly gorgeous it's unreal." Very rare Japanese L.

@TraverseMT @CollinRugg I always thought it was unbelievable how all those tiny/average sized dudes in the show wanted to pick a fight w/ him. But here we are

@CollinRugg Imagine seeing this man riding up to you on a motorcycle with his kids in tow and deciding to choose violence

JUST IN: Brentwood Police say 'Reacher' star Alan Ritchson acted in self-defense, say no charges will be filed. The development comes as new footage appears to show Ritchson's neighbor blocking the road while he was on his motorcycle. "After reviewing available evidence, including video footage and witness statements, authorities determined that no criminal charges will be pursued," said the Brentwood Police Department. "Mr. Ritchson’s actions were found to be in self-defense." "Although a potential reckless endangerment charge was considered, Mr. Ritchson declined to pursue charges." The case has been closed.
