There is no one on earth more sunk-cost, Dunning-Kruger, subhuman IQ, Mass Formation Psychosis than the political Left Wing, and no one on earth more evil than the people manipulating them into ruining our nations and our future as a species.

100% agree.

SJWs always lie: note laws 1 & 3.

  1. the SJWs are lying.
  2. the SJWs will double down.
  3. the SJWs are projecting.

And when you call them on it, they will also do law 2: double down.

So this whole spiel in the OP? Totally applies to the utopian left more than anyone on the right.

Smacks of a minstrel show, tbh. Something's deeply inauthentic about it; one of the multicultural elite, who usually plays with the upper class whites, playing herself off as lower class black. It strikes me as layers of masking, which is why I was asking where her authentic self is-- because I don't see it.

Is the act the ghetto accent, or 'playing white?'

Where is the authentic self? (Other than the lack of empathy, I mean.)

We'll see if it's impact on Ubisoft's finances are jaw-dropping.

Yasuke's magic 8 ball says: 'All signs point to yes.'

Grummz is quoting an internal Ubisoft source as saying that the PC sales represent 'only' 27% of sales. The middle of the road estimate on Steam DB is 230k 'owners,' which would include promo codes included with graphics cards and the like.

SmashJT is stating that the budget for the game could be as high as nine hundred million dollars.

Steelmaning these numbers Grummz's source is spouting means everyone who's 'owning' the game (230k/0.27) bought-in for 70 bucks, that's just shy of 60 Million gross revenue-- a loss of 840 million relative to SmashJT's cost estimate.

It's a marxist word that has never been used in any way except as a weapon against white people.

I'll toss Vox Day at you: https://voxday.net/2021/12/28/racism-is-pro-human-diversity/

To sum up: Racism as a term was coined for use against Native Americans who were (also) trying to preserve their culture. 'Racism' is and always has been a cudgel wielded by those in favor of 'progress,' which was defined initially as elimination of racial distinctions in a vain attempt at enforcing a cultural 'tabula rasa.' (Kill the Indian, save the Man.) Yes, it's Neo-Marxists wielding the cudgel these days. White people/Heritage Americans are their target, but the idea of mixing and/or destroying ethnic identities has always been deeply American, predating Marx.

I assert that an unborn female black child with a missing chromosome and an inclination to homosexuality is equal in human value and human dignity and unalienable, God-given rights to a straight white male in the prime of his life and a +4 SD IQ. How many of my dishonest critics will do the same?

That doesn’t mean that I think it is wise to ask that particular child, when she is grown, to design the next plane on which I intend to fly. Or even to work in the air traffic control tower.

I deal in reality as determined by history, science, and logic. And I care no more about what an equalitarian fantasist thinks about me or anything else than I do about the mentally deranged babbling in the psych ward. The world is as it is, not as we might wish it to be. If you can’t understand that, then I am among the least of your problems.”

There are exceedingly difficult conversations to be had, but I don't see the ideologically possessed ('anti'-racist left OR racist right) as being capable of having any form of discussion about the topic.

Nuance and honesty as regards race seem dead in the cultural sphere.

The article offers no clue about the source of the information; the Dogequest site seems like an attack against Tesla across the board, from charging & sales locations to individual owners.

I'm strongly against paying a subscription to get what should be sold as a complete product. The hack is more or less incidental to me.

Yep. All the hardware is in the car, but you pay a subscription (or fee) to activate your heated seats, auto-drive, extra battery capacity, etc.

Interesting.

I agree that voting in contrarian ways 'safely' is Kayfabe behavior at best.

I also wonder where his wife dying falls on the timeline relative to these? (July 2024 was her passing, do you have dates/sources for the others?)

I ask because there's a possibility that her safety was their leash on him, and he's a loose cannon/liability to the deep-state at this point; people willing to be a monkey-wrench/spoiler should be offered at least token support if they're willing to go against the grain to kill spending/raise AIPAC awareness/etc.

The only thing Putin has to lose is more of his men in the course of the war, but I'd guess the majority of Russian soldiers and civilians believe the fight is worth it at this point. Russia will whoop on Ukraine some more and eventually there won't be anything to negotiate with.

Why wouldn't whatever peace the West eventually signs be treated like the Minsk Accords-- as time to prepare arms against Russia? Putin has every reason to believe that a ceasefire (like the Trump is demanding as a precondition to negotiations) would be used to solidify the crumbling UA military position. He loses even more lives if he lets up and resistance stiffens, so why would he ever let up?

I mentioned Trump, but Zelenskyy (the other party who can negotiate) is widely hated within UA for both his conscription and his confiscation of Ukrainian Orthodox churches. Remember that the UA secret police are out in force and elections are off the table. "Defender of the Free World" he ain't.

What can the NATO proxy UA offer at the table, beyond unconditional surrender? Even the USA has nothing constructive to add because our government cannot be trusted to stand by its word. Look at the 1990 ideas of NATO expansion the (then) USSR was fed: https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2017-12-12/nato-expansion-what-gorbachev-heard-western-leaders-early and tell me why Russia should trust ANYTHING the west has to say?

Trump being a possible exception, the West has been agreement-incapable for decades and Russia turning East to join hands with China is a sign of things to come.

Lindsey will at least say, "The left has gone too far."

The problem is that when you try to point out where & how, he becomes deaf & mute. He is a 90s Liberal to the bone, which is to say he's a pinko academic. He names the beast well, but cannot prescribe remedies because he sees liberalism as an end-goal rather than the sliding point within the Overton window that it is.

Dev getting banned for saying "faggot" is at least amusing in a way Dev himself, as a faggot, fails to be.

Sinfest is very interesting, if only because the artist is so openly vocal on political issues. He's gone through a woke (gf?) arc, and come out the other side willing to be more based than is palatable to the mass market.

I haven't followed him in years, but this is a good reminder that his work exists.

For the record: Kisin can be right on this point AND wrong on the "woke right" line he's tried to sell. Like James Lindsey, he has his uses AND isn't trustworthy.

Right-- so the 'past the rubicon' reality further stresses the individual after irreversible surgical 'affirmation' of their delusion after the placebo effect fades.

Triumphant euphoria! Then when the 'stunning & brave' seal clapping stops, the victims of Trans ideology are left alone looking at their body in the mirror. There can be no reconciliation with with what they have become. The divide between their lived reality and the delusion (and the lies about transition they were sold) has become larger and thus the outcomes track worse than dysphoric people not undergoing surgical intervention.

What a nightmare! History will look back at Trans surgery for dysphoria as the equivalent of lobotomy to treat schizophrenia.

a bad release is better than no release at all.

Concord begs to differ, but that's the utmost 1% of woke retardery.

The cynic in me says that, even there-- the 'right' people drew paychecks from Sony, therefore Concord succeeded as a money laundering operation even while failing as a video game
