You're tight lipped because you're afraid of being called a Nazi, a white supremacist. You're too cowardly to act because "mug optics". Now even your neighbors or your immediate family members would rat you out if you said something that doesn't align the party's ideology. You're going to be banned using major services for supporting the "wrong" candidate.
Do you want to know where I've heard that before? Right. North Korea, China's Cultural Revolution, Pol Pot's regime in Cambodia, Fidel Castro's regime in Cuba.
It makes me feel physically ill. Morale is definitely down and I'm unsure of how to plan for the future given all the uncertainty of what will happen. Is there even going to be a country in a few years from now? If everything's going to unravel do I stay put and ride it out here or should I try to reposition myself to a better location? Do I invest in real estate or will that just get seized? Is the stock market globalized enough to the point where I can store wealth in it and have it ride out the storm there?
Not having a road map for how to fight back against this slow crushing weight that never escalates to open warfare is what's really getting me down though. My outlook would be considerable less grim if I knew of a way to contribute to pushing back against this in a more meaningful way.
Storing and accessing any wealth you may have, is a gigantimous problem these days.
Having had my home and land, forcibly annexed once and forcibly rezoned another time, I gave up on that fantasy 20 years ago. They just take what they want and you get to make the payments. Not to mention many places that are more than happy to tax you right out of your house.
I think having a nice stash of emergency cash is good. Also maybe keeping some swiss francs that seem to hold their value.
Small gold coins are nice, I'm not into cryptos, gems are good but a dangerous and cutthroat business.
The gun trade seems to be booming, that could be a great investment ;^ If you can't hold it, you don't own it.
I'm just doing my best to do ok for myself, losing weight, and hoping I have the courage to act when the time comes.
I just hope I notice when that time arrives.
We'll keep you posted. The dragon is definitely on the doorstep.
I'd invest in local community, self improvement, NFTs & crypto, 3D printing and manufacturing, then tangible goods.
Local community is by far the most important, even if that's a small cluster of friends that you know is sane. Then you have a group that can take care of each other if anything happens.
Normies aren't doing shit and just going along with it since it doesn't directly affect them and they can still have their entertainment. The Free Hong Kong and Cuties reactions gave me hope but complacency set in again and they went back to sleep.
The Soviets were lucky. They only created a harsh material poverty. We have a spiritual poverty.
The Russian Orthodox church was never crushed, persecuted yes but it was so much a pervasive part of the culture there was no way to get rid of it.
When we lived in Russia earlier in the 2000s, every church and xrem and bell tower and cathedral and onion dome across the land was rising under reconstruction and renovation.
The US has always been christian, but many brands. America doesn't have 1,000 or so years of the Russian Orthodox church. (which I quite like I will add)
Also, the Russians are some tough ass mutherfuckers. When the world ends the Russians will be the last to go, kicking biting and fighting. Nyyet.
Good: I get to be smugly correct about everything I was complaining about back in 2012-2014.
Bad: Absolutely everything else.
I need to get the fuck out of dodge and I don't know where or how.
Righteousness isn't even enjoyable when the people around you aren't learning from your "rightness" . There's little pride, and much suffering.
There's the obvious that sucks. But there are some good things. These righteous SJW's and commies are tearing up society to its core. We've had jewish subversion for decades, wars in the middle east, Hollywood, music industry, gaming industry, tv, porn, etc pushing degeneracy and destroying everything. Now these commies have infiltrated everything and are slowly destroying this power structure, and in doing so, freeing people from their vices. I see more and more people waking up, more people focusing on getting fit, people putting down the pron/games/television/social media and bettering themselves instead. Look at Hollywood hemorrhaging viewership in the 40-50% range over the last year alone.
The entire church, western governments, peak christian powers, etc couldn't stand up to this and the leftists are absolutely tearing it apart. I don't know what the future brings, or what's going to happen, but I'm actually more hopeful now than in the past because the entire west might actually free itself from this menace. And if that happens, I can only dream of what sort of a golden age that will bring.
My optics was leftist concern trolling and Jim was right.
Jim doesn't get nearly enough credit for having the good sense to advocate going on the offensive.
Who is the Jim you referring to here?
Pretty sure he's referencing when Internet Aristocrat/Mr Metokur/Jim left Gamergate behind because we/they were too worried about muh optics.
What happened to him? Is he active anywhere (youtube/bitchute/twitter/etc)?
Internet Aristocrat aka Mr Metokur. He advocated for going on the offensive during GG and going after SJWs and leftists where ever you find them and everyone lost their minds because optics and "being above their level".....fat good that did.
Metokur?
I'm assuming of Jim's Blog, as he's been writing about accelerating toward the leftist singularity for quite some time.
Rebellions require clout, wealth, logistics and leadership. Nobody has that at the moment, thus no rebellion. It's not cowardice, it's not sheeple, it's realistic.
Shitting on normies gets you nowhere. If anything, the right is absolutely at fault for failing to provide proper leadership for over seventy years. Is it the common foot soldier's fault that a battle lost because half the officer corps is MIA whilst the rest run around wailing "NAP" whilst the enemy advance?
A core need is also the desire to reform a broken system. Most people haven't even accepted the premise that they live in a broken, corrupt system, in order to want to reform it.
Yeah. Having a lack of on the ground leadership hurt us badly. We needed multiple leaders per state to guide us and for us to follow.
If we had leaders, maybe janus 6 wouldnt have happen that way or maybe it wouldve went all the way. Instead... if was headless chickens (or wolves) leading the headless chickens.
Dunno about your crap state but mine just pushed Constitutional Carry through the state house.
Which state?
I live behind the Granola Curtain, and I'm thinking of fleeing before my only option is escaping in a hot air balloon made from old underpants.
Iowa. I'm planning to leave for other reasons but as long as you're not in Iowa City or Des Moines it's a pretty decent place to live. Democrats are only viable in this state at the congressional district level, the Republicans have total control over the legislature.
My only mild comforting thought is that the assholes who have brought this on are going to have to live (and probably die) in the hellscape they are creating.
Sadly, most are probably too lacking in self-awareness to experience the regret and shame they so richly deserve.
The worst assholes that brought this on are too rich to truly feel the consequences of the hellscape they are creating.
They really... aren't.
Very few "rich" people are actually rich. When you add up their assets and liabilities, most have less net worth than a homeless person.
Doin' it Gangnam style.
When we get to that stage, they'll still blame the right, even though we've warned them many times over, again and again. The left will never collectively have a time of reckoning. They aren't capable of it.
I read about some of the useful idiots who got shipped to the gulags who continued to think that there must have been some mistake, we were good Communists, Stalin will come fix this.
How do I feel? Actually better than about six months ago. Does that mean I like it, of course not. But letting the enemy play with my emotions and alter my mental state is a win for them and a loss for me.
I think of it like tournament poker. Play the cards I'm dealt. I don't control the cards but I do control my strategy. I've never won a poker game letting someone else at the table rile me up and get me away from playing with my brain. Patience and timing are important. Do my best to pick the right time to make a move. Sometimes it works, others it doesn't. Many often play stupid, over-aggressive, gamble-y. More often than not they are out of the game early. If I'm still playing I can still win, even if it doesn't look good. If I play dumb and am out of chips, I already lost.
It's not a ton different than I try to go about life. Try to level out the emotional ups and downs and play a quiet, even-keeled, cerebral game. I don't really intend to change. If we need an aggressive play, show me an aggressive play with some chance of success and I'm in. Otherwise, I'll keep being patient.
About to cashed out and flee to Japan or Korea. Not going to raise my kids in a country that will target them next after whitey is dealt with. Seen what happen to my parents when their country adopted Communism. Not going to let that shit happen again.
Japan is falling. They fawning over a japanese district judge allowing for same sex marriage.
Check out this blog. It shows the degeneration of Japan.
If they can call out the evils of Islam then they aren't loss yet.
That's the least of their problems. They need to increase their birth rates otherwise they might just end up importing even more third-world people (muslim or not) into the country. If that ever happens, they are going to get culturally enriched. Take a look at this.
Skilled workers that need to know japanese. They aren't taking bottom feeders and they are literally spying on a Muslims in the country. They know the risk don't think it be as bad as you make it. Not like they are importing them in mass or taking in refugees or economic migrants.
"skilled workers" many of whom would probably be "educated" in marxist universities to go to japan to subvert it. . Just saying. And it is bad because its trending in that bad direction . Rome did not fall overnight and neither did the west for that matter
Yea but unlike westerners Asians aren't afraid of being called racist. Its going to be awhile before they fall if they do. The west will prob do some stupid shit before Japan falls and they seem smart enough to pick up the mistake and learn from it. Plus they aren't diverse or close to being as diverse as the west. Can always go home to my parents native land but don't feel like living with other jungle Asians.
"not afraid to be called racist"
a city in japan passed an anti hate speech law.....i honestly give them 15 years max to get to the west's level
Gotta send that blog to Japanese conservatives .
Go right ahead.
Eh, I don’t care anymore.
If anything, I welcome the misery to come, because so many who were clamoring for it aren’t expecting misery to come their way.
Call it schadenfreude if you wish, but their wailing will be like music.
Still, there’s an underlying current of ‘freedom’ that sits at the foundation of the American experiment not found in any other land.
Part of me still feels that when the going gets tough, there will be a response, and the Marxist will be a lot more bloodied than they ever expected by the end.
Let it all come, it's inevitable.
