Now, this is a nitpick, but it's also kind of annoying that people are just shifting with the changing winds. I know that's just how it works, and I understand the business perspective, but like with Zuckerborg, it reeks of cowardice. "We hold these strong opinions, and now that it's safe, we can act on them, yay!" Again, nitpicking though. Overall this is very positive.

That's the best you can hope for with a godless culture at the end of the day. But yeah, very positive.

Is this the first time a developer has rolled back an extant LGBBQ feature? Helldivers had that skirmish with rainbow capes, but I think they just said no.

I guess you missed the subtext but all that stuff is obvious. Matt may as well shout "vegetables are good" or "crime is bad" from the rooftops.

Also, you got the last part wrong. It's not "you will try to help people going through something similar." It's "you will dethrone and punish the evil pigs that did this to your people."

Bottom line: if we keep going the way we're going, not even bootstrapping is going to save you.

Yeah, that's the illegals. 40 million of them.

how all of this is enabled by latent feminism and boomers' resentment of their sons. There's a disturbing pattern, impossible to unsee once noticed, that these fucks will wriggle endlessly in order to spin a narrative of expectation management and harsh competition for men, but when it comes to women they still have the participation prize parade lined up, and suddenly you remember where all the 100k/year remote working fake corporate jobs are actually going.

Yeah, so about that... you're on to something.

Despite having been warned, I was not prepared for the fact that when my toddler son cried about not getting his way I found it almost humorous, remained steadfast, felt no pressure to alter my course, but when my toddler daughter acts likewise my stomach sinks and I am compelled to give her whatever her little heart desires

For my sons the fields, for my daughters the fruits of those fields

All that being said, no more H-1Bs. Program needs to be scrapped.

This is exactly what Rufo and the whole clown car need shoved in their face. Same thing if you work in a sitdown restaurant for tips. They don't even have to pay you minimum wage so if you have a bad night, you just worked hours for free.

The Left’s message to its young, passionate partisans: “We have multiple organizations dedicated to protesting and political violence, with well-funded legal wings that will bail you out and clear your record. There are thousands of scholarships and organizations at the collegiate level dedicated to your advancement. After that, you can work for a nonprofit or perhaps in academia, living in a major city with good dating prospects and a passable salary. If you become a political martyr, we will support you financially and in public.”

Meanwhile, the Right: “You should aim to manage a Subway along I-95, and be grateful for the opportunity. Fuck off.”

It wouldn't be kia2 without m0r1arty making an inside joke that nobody outside his head can get. I severely doubt the Little Red Book outsold the Bible anyway, maybe on a "bestseller list" but not total sales

Matt Walsh coming in like a Harris voter

Some of you really have no historical perspective at all. It’s amazing. There’s been inflation but not nearly as much as you seem to think. You’re living in fantasy land.

It's assistant manager, so you would have to grind for years of 4am lo mein cooking sessions and dealing with riffraff customers for the privilege.

From the former Chik-Fil-A guy I linked at the bottom, who worked out a deal to get auto-promoted to manager

Year 1: $14/hr at 50 hours per week Year 2: $20/hr at 60 weekly hours Year 3: $28-30/hr at 60 weekly hours

I've seen entry level jobs at $16-17, which is still way higher than it used to be. In Texas it's probably $12/hr. The hard inflation stat from Biden's reign is 20%... everything is 20% less value (or worse) than it used to be. Which is insanity.

Either way, Rufo is a privileged imbecile who should be forced to make a career out of Taco Bell. But I'm sure he's too high skill for that

I have no idea what force would compel someone to want to surround themselves with Indians, but Elon is deranged enough that it's possible

Epps was charged and pled to a misdemeanor of disorderly conduct after the 60 minutes press tour failed to dispel the idea he was a fed

Ben knows this is Candace's weak spot. Her husband is friends with Tate and has some kind of link to him so she essentially covers him with puff pieces that don't mention the OF thing.

Unfortunately a lot of authors get starstruck by the compliment of their work getting adapted at all and will just call garbage awesome because of how excited they genuinely are, which is understandable. So that's only happening if its overtly and directly going against the author's message/work (I've got an example scratching my head but its not coming to mind right now).

I feel like that's more common in the West. Manga writers seem extremely devoted to the craft

70% foreign students is ridiculously high against the average.

We must pin our hopes on the infamous Japanese attribute to not care about anything off their island anywhere

More anime was made last year than in any five years of the 1990s, combined.

Wow OK... so it wasn't my imagination

I think you're saying Jews are more creative than Indians but it remains that they are both dangerous in any single position of authority.

I just saw a report about some pioneer Indian CEO (in America) that has an engineering dept named after her, which now enrolls 70% foreign grad students, mysteriously.

That's interesting, so results have been leaked or released from these wargames?

If you're at war with someone who is intent upon the complete annihilation of you and your people, who will accept nothing less than those terms, you don't negotiate with them. That's who is in charge of politics.

If that's the case, then the U.S. shouldn't exist, because those are precisely the people that founded our nation. Nations, by necessity, are founded and maintained by violence.

"War is the continuation of politics through other means." -- Von Clausewitz

I read through your post and I think you misunderstand my position as pacificism, while I am simply stating that political movement in peacetime is also necessary. Violence is necessary when appropriate. At the same time, every single war, even existential wars, involves negotiation between the belligerents at various points. (unless you're Haitians that just kill and eat every white person on the island)

Communication is always meaningful for good people. The violence hasn't started yet.

The point stands that there are times for good people to say "enough", and to kill the people hurting them. Not "vote harder [current year]", not negotiate, not compromise, not laying down and accepting it, but focused violence on the perpetrators.

I don't think you comprehend the collapse that's coming. The people in power have been interconnecting the entire world (i.e. globalism), in order to profit off of it, so they can implement their plans more easily, and so they can lord over the world from their seats in the newly centralized structures. The collapse is going to affect everyone. All modernized nations will fall.

I largely agree. There are several ways it can play out. The details may change, but the general trends will always remain true. The coming collapse will necessarily result in balkanization and ethnonationalism. That's how nations form in the first place.

After digesting your scenario it seems that the collapse you refer to is the sudden inability of the government to facilitate delivery of food, electricity, and gas, which then results in mass starvation of half or more of the United States as farms refuse to help the cities. Basically a zombie apocalypse level of destruction. Interestingly enough this is not a rebellion where people will forcibly overthrow a tyrannical government, as the govt will essentially fall down anyway.

The more likely scenario in my mind is that some kind of right wing faction in the US aligns themselves for secession in a similar way to the buildup to the Civil War. If the US will degrade to the point of nonfunction, that should be obvious long before it actually happens.

OR the populist right wing faction becomes so politically powerful that the feds attempt to hold onto power by fiat eg martial law and mass policing, which would prompt a countrywide conflict.

Her tweet is admittedly unclear, but I have a hard time reaching "patriarchy" from it.

It goes like this

1. ignore races of perpetrators and victims
2. wait for furor to blow over and hope everyone else forgets this
3. blame men
4. Islam defended

I've made this argument before but I'm mildly surprised seeing it again. No one can deny that well-regulated exchange has been enormously beneficial for Japan and the US, even despite the war.

Japanese immigrants would become an existential problem in sufficient numbers in the US, of course. I'll even say that as a half Asian. This would never happen organically though. Only mediocre, deceptive civilizations flood other countries.

You can only negotiate with someone who isn't trying to destroy you.

That's simply not true. Negotiation is a huge part of war. You're confusing it with the spirit of reconciliation, which you would be correct is impossible with someone trying to destroy you.

However, this doesn't mean we're out of options. It just means we have only one option left.

Well keep your powder dry I guess. If that's the case then none of this is meaningful to you.

Why do you think so many people have woken up the last several years? Open communication of the problems and perpetrators is one cause. But, the main cause is widespread misery of the people.

Yes, you need both to some degree. People aren't motivated to seek truth unless they are moved by an impetus.

For an example, it's not necessarily a "collapse", but the American Revolution is what I'm alluding to, but that will pail in comparison. Electricity will go down, fuel shipments will stop, law enforcement will be woefully undermanned (and trapped mostly in the cities), all manner of crime will become rampant, many people will starve and die to violence.

Credit to you for out of the box thinking, but although scarcity is a common denominator in both wartime and civilizational collapse, you admit the Revolution was not a collapse and we both know why.

What you have outlined is a recipe for warlords and bandits where there are no noble ideas and causes, only survival. We know what people trained on survival look like. They're not the nation building type. Most likely another power would land a beachhead and push inland.

Best case for a doomsday scenario imo is that America becomes balkanized enough for a constitutional, ethnonationalist contingent to secede. A secession would preserve enough integrity of organization and continuity of government for a successful nation. This would be most akin to the American Revolution since the colonies were practically self-governing entities when they rebelled.

At first I misread this as Trump annexing Israel LOL
