Men can either support their society or try to destroy it. A lot of White men are asking “why should I support this system?” and the answer they are getting is “because it’s good for everyone else.”

Do not install VLC. Once you install it, you can never go back. You will never pay 99 cents for a codec again. You will never buy QuickTime Pro again. You will never renew RealPlayer Plus again. You will never pay for Blu-ray decoder software again. You will never see the words "this file format is not supported" again. You will become the family tech support person. Forever. Your dad will call you at 11 PM because he downloaded a .mkv from somewhere and Windows refuses to open it. Your answer will always be the same. "Install VLC." And then the orange traffic cone will eat his problem in 4 seconds and he will call you a genius. You did not do that. A French student named Jean-Baptiste Kempf did, in 1996, as a school project at École Centrale Paris. His roommate brought a traffic cone home from the street that year. They made it the logo. 6 billion downloads later, the cone is still undefeated. Repo: github.com/videolan/vlc. 18,463 stars. GPL-2.0. Pushed today. Here is the wildest part: The warning is real. Just not for you. Apple sold QuickTime Pro for $29.99. VLC killed it. Apple shut it down in 2016. Microsoft sold Windows Media Center for $9.99. VLC killed it. Microsoft shut it down with Windows 10. RealNetworks charged $39.99 a year for RealPlayer Plus. VLC killed it. Sony built Blu-ray to need a $79.99 licensed decoder. VLC ships with libdvdcss and a French court ruling that protects it. The codec mafia spent 30 years building a tollbooth on every video file on Earth. A guy whose GitHub location is literally "Coneland" walked through every tollbooth with a cone on his head and never paid a cent. He was offered millions of dollars to sell it. He said no. So yes. Do not install VLC. The codec industry has not recovered from the last 6 billion people who did. 100% Opensource. 100% Free. 100% Yours. The biggest media companies on Earth spent three decades trying to charge you to play your own files. One French student and a cone he found on the street made all of it pointless.

A few years ago I went into a charcoal chicken shop in Melbourne and ordered a half chicken and chips. Paid $14 (can't remember the exact figure) and waited. While waiting I started to noticed the rainbow flag stickers, always was always will be and an assortment of other brain rot. The guy packs my order and as I go to take it he tells me he gave me too many chips as the pack comes with a medium chips but he'd given me large. He said I needed to pay an additional 50c. I laughed thinking he was having some fun. I realised he wasn't. I said no. He said ok. Then proceeded to take a small handful of chips out of the already packed box. It's a moment that will stick with me. I remember as a kid we'd play at the basketball court and then go get a chicken strip snack pack from the Wog run fish and chip shop. It was 3 strips and some chips. We didn't have much money and they could see there were a few of us who had pooled our coins. They'd always give us 5 strips and a large chips and throw in a big bottle of softdrink and some plastic cups. Sounds like an odd thing to remember but it's a memory of what we've lost as a country. I had hoped my kids grew up in a high trust society, where kindness and community were important to everyone. Australia no longer has that, at least I can't see it. So we moved and found it elsewhere. High trust. Brilliant community of like minded people. I hope Australia returns to its roots.

@RupertLowe10 No. It is not a crime to not report crime. That is a slippery road.

I find the establishment hysteria about my position on deporting foreign child rapists and their accomplices quite remarkable. If a Pakistani woman was fully aware that her husband has been gang-raping dozens of white English girls, but failed to report it? Or do anything? Then yes, she should be deported along with her scumbag husband. To be entirely honest, deportation is the moderate option for the rapist and it's one a Restore Britain Government may well ignore for a harsher and more permanent alternative. We know that this has been happening for decades, across almost every town and city in Britain. Everywhere. It continues today. If a foreigner comes to our country and facilitates child rape, a Restore Britain Government will deport them before their feet touch the ground. How many end up leaving is secondary - the principle is what matters. If don't agree, fine. Vote Tory, Labour or Reform. Farage has made his objection to our policy very clear. There are plenty of options for you. If you do agree? Then there is now a democratic route for you to take. Restore Britain.

Rape exploded after Europe imported the Third World. UK 🔺 +692% Germany 🔺 +380% France 🔺 +465% Poland 🔽 -53% Poland didn’t. Notice the difference? America… is this what we want?

Billionaires don’t steal my money, dipshit. Politicians and bureaucrats do. If a billionaire gets my money, it’s because I paid for a product that he or she has made.

The f*ckng developers of Samourai wallet got 5+ years and they didn’t steal a cent from anyone. When you think you hate your govt enough, you find out you’re wrong.

Right. Just so we’re all clear. Farage and Reform tried to put me in prison because I backed the mass deportation of Pakistani child rapists and their foreign wives/relatives who allowed it to happen. My home was raided by armed police late on a Friday night as a direct result of Reform’s allegations. My guns were seized. They tried to ruin my life. In every way. Farage admitted on national television it was all because I backed mass deportations. He said that was the moment they realised they ‘had to get rid’ of me. Not the bullshit allegations they went to the police with, but the fact I want the Pakistani rapists removed from our country. He admitted it. That all happened. Fair enough. I took it on the chin, and planned out our next step. I founded Restore Britain to give the British people the democratic option to agree with me. Restore Britain will, without apology, deport every last foreign rapist and all foreign accomplices who knew it was happening, yet failed to act. If that means entire communities go, that means entire communities go. I really don’t care. We will rid Britain of that cancer. Now Reform are incandescently angry that we are giving the British people that choice. Deploying increasingly desperate smears against our movement. If people don’t agree, they can vote for someone else who won’t deport. There are plenty of options - Reform, Labour, Tories. Take your pick. Go for it. But if you want those evil scumbags out of our country, along with every foreign coward who enabled it? You now have that genuine option. Restore Britain.

Her name was Isabella Stroupe. She was 19. She loved books. Her family called her Bella. She was tied to a bed with a tow strap and tortured for months in an east Charlotte NC apartment. Multiple broken bones. St*b wounds. R*ped repeatedly. Her mother said she screamed and screamed when she found out. Thomaz Hamilton, a violent repeat offender is charged with first-degree m*rder and first-degree r*pe. Months. She was alive in there for months. Say her name. Isabella Stroupe. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

What are people mostly worried about in the UK today? You said "VAT rates on Theme Park Admission" "If it's up there you can bum me on camera"

We need to remove meaningless words such as “Islamophobia” from our beautiful and ancient language. We need to be as rigorous in mocking the term as the midget dictator @SadiqKhan is about making sure no one can reply to his tweets.

You're much more of a slave to the 1% that commit 50% of crimes than you are to the 1% that create 40% of the wealth.

The Wizard of Oz turns 87 this year, and back in 1998, critic Rick Polito wrote what might be the greatest one-line TV listing ever for TCM.

Feel like this guy has waited his whole life to say this. Incredibly eloquent and accurate appraisal of the failure of Western elites.

So, just to make sure I've got this right... I can punch and break a female police officer nose on camera, and get away with it. But if I write a few words on the internet I can go to prison for over 2 years. Got it.

@SamaHoole So basically you are arguing for no inheritance tax for anyone.

A farmer dies in April 2026. His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847. The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle. On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify. In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable. The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft. The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let. A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up. The Treasury collects £140,000. The land never produces British food again.

If Henry Nowak was Jewish, we would have had the footage on the 4th of December, kirpans would be banned, the officers involved charged and Keir Starmer would have addressed the nation.

another week, another village in Nigeria massacred and slaughtered by Islamists. And as always, the world is silent. No word from the Pope. No word from the UN. Nothing from France. UK. Italy. Spain. Anyone. Just silence. So weird.

Well, you ask why you should bet your future on Bitcoin. And that’s a hell of a question, isn't it? Because you have to bet your future on something. You’re placing a wager with your life and your labor every single day, whether you realize it or not. And if you look at the macroeconomic landscape: the sheer, unadulterated incompetence of central planners inflating fiat currency to oblivion... you better find a bedrock of value, and you better do it fast. People say, "Well, what about gold?" Gold has historical weight, sure. It has mythological significance. But we aren't living in the 19th century anymore, roughly speaking. Let me lay out exactly why Bitcoin is the superior alternative. Here are eight reasons you might seriously consider placing that wager: 1. Portability Let’s start with portability. Try carrying a million dollars of gold across a border when the authoritarians are snapping at your heels. You can’t do it! It’s heavy, it's cumbersome, and some corrupt border guard is going to notice it and take a cut.. or take the whole bloody lot. But Bitcoin? You memorize a 12-word seed phrase, and you can carry your entire life’s savings right there in your head. You can walk naked across a border and have access to your capital on the other side. That is profoundly liberating. It’s the ultimate escape from tyranny. 2. Divisibility Then you have the issue of divisibility. Gold is a clunky medium of exchange. You can’t sit there and shave off a microscopic fleck of a gold bar to buy a cup of coffee. It just doesn't work at that scale! But Bitcoin can be sliced down into a hundred million units called satoshis. Sounds like a Japanese fella, but it's a unit of measurement. It scales all the way down to the micro-transaction level, perfectly and seamlessly. 3. Verifiability This one is crucial: Verifiability. If someone hands you a gold bar, how do you know it isn’t tungsten wrapped in a thin layer of gold? Well, you don't. You need an assay, an expert, some intermediary you have to put your faith in. And faith is at an all-time low, let me tell you! With Bitcoin, the blockchain is a public ledger of absolute truth. You don’t have to trust anybody. You run a node, and the mathematics of the cosmos verifies the authenticity of the transaction. Instantly. It’s mathematically enforced truth. You don't get much more solid than that. 4. Accessibility Look, acquiring and vaulting physical gold is a game for people already comfortably sitting atop a functioning, privileged financial hierarchy. What about the guy in a developing nation whose local currency is hyper-inflating to zero? He can’t get a secure vault. He can’t buy bullion. But if he has a cheap smartphone and an internet connection? Boom. He is instantly plugged into the global economic network. 5. Liquidity Then there's liquidity. The traditional markets shut down! They close for the weekend. They operate on bankers' hours. What kind of archaic, paternalistic system is that? We live in a world that doesn’t sleep. Bitcoin operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The market never closes. If you need access to your funds, the liquidity is there. It’s a relentless, continuous, decentralized flow of value assessment. 6. Censorship Resistance Now, pay attention to this, because this might be the most terrifyingly important point. We are watching governments and banks actively weaponize the financial system against dissenting citizens. They will freeze your bank accounts if you step out of line and protest. They’ll just turn you off! Gold can be confiscated. Franklin Delano Roosevelt did exactly that in the 1930s. But Bitcoin? If you hold your own private keys, it is computationally impossible for them to stop your transaction. Your keys, your wealth. 7. Programmability Gold just sits there. It’s a rock. A shiny, valuable rock, but it's completely inert. Bitcoin’s underlying architecture allows for programmability. We’re talking about conditional logic embedded directly into the money itself. You can automate complex financial agreements without relying on a parasitic army of rent-seeking middlemen. It opens up an entirely new dimension of financial innovation that we are only just beginning to conceptualize. 8. Decentralization And finally, the apex of it all: Decentralization. Gold is mined by mega-corporations, vaulted by central banks, and manipulated by centralized, corruptible powers. Bitcoin is maintained by a distributed network of nodes all across the planet. There is no CEO to subpoena. There is no central point of failure. It removes the corruptible human element from monetary policy entirely. No single entity can control it, and that offers a level of political and economic independence that you simply cannot find anywhere else. So, why bet your future on it? Because the alternative is to leave your destiny in the hands of the very central planners who are actively driving the macroeconomic bus right off a cliff! Do you think they care about your future? They don't! You either take absolute, uncompromising responsibility for your own financial sovereignty, or you become a willing victim of those who will gladly inflate your life's labor into nothingness. You have to make your choice, and you will have to bear the consequences.
