Very soon there will be nowhere left like that. Canada is blazing a trail there. Look up the "rural and northern immigration pilot program"
Hold onto your guns, folks.
If they wanted to hurt the US supply chain, they should have pulled this in the Panama canal. The disruption in Suez is going to hurt Europe and Asia a lot more than the US.
Next time a girl tells me she's got enough space for a 3-point turn in an alley, Imma bring this up.
I didn't say surprising. Just disturbing.
No, the disturbing parts were that one moment where he was asked about gun control and read the wrong cue card, the endless repetition of "I'm a great respecter of fate" and the moment yesterday where he asked "Who am I handing over to?" and all of the other parts where he clearly had no fucking idea what's going on, and everyone in the media pretended they didn't notice that.
They've been covering for this demented old coot for almost two years now in order to manoeuvre him into this position, and even now as his dementia is on full display, they intend to keep acting like there's nothing wrong.
Exactly. It's time to stop giving up ground and holding out for the people who still live there to fight our battles for us.
Is this a good time to bring up spez's personal friend, maxwellhill?
You're not supposed to say it about people who vote for Trudeau.
Thanks. I have to give credit to Huxley. He didn't articulate it exactly like I did, but most of what I said about the nature of revolutions comes from Brave New World.
You can actually hear this person thinking: How can I be upset about this without violating my programming?
What the trans movement represents to the left is not just another identitarian group that they can use to push authoritarianism. It's much more than that. It's as close as anyone has ever come to overriding people's biology and asserting control over individual identities.
Authoritarians have always resented evolutionary psychology because it means that there will always be some aspects of individual behaviour, and therefore of society, that they cannot fully control. The revolution can never be completely secure until they have control of that as well.
There are three types of revolution. The first and most superficial is the political revolution: the transformation of the way the individual interacts with the state. There American Revolution is an example of this, and it was successful because nothing else changed: the country was still Christian, English speaking and all of the building blocks that comprised communities and the broader society remained the same. All that changed was the way in which those communities interacted with the institutions that governed them.
The second is the social revolution, or the transformation of the way people interact with each other. Authoritarians will always attempt this in order to consolidate their control and try to suppress dissent: eliminating traditional religion and trying to replace it with Robespierre's Cult of the Supreme Being, or with worship of the State, or more recently the worship of The Science. Editing the language by forbidding certain words or introducing new ones, or by changing what words mean.
The problem with this phase of the revolution is that it's never successful in the long term, because it inevitably involves trying to force people to behave in ways that don't cohere with their natural, biological programming. It's never going to be possible to supplant the nuclear family with the State, for example, even though every totalitarian tries it, because otherwise the society you govern is built on a fundamental power structure that you don't control.
But the third type of revolution is the personal, or the transformation of the way the individual interacts with himself. This is obviously the hardest to achieve, but the trans movement represents a concerted effort to do just that.
It's impossible to overstate how important gender is to our sense of identity: it informs almost every aspect of how we think, how we behave, how we interact with other people. If they can convince an entire generation of young people to abandon gender, to deny something they know instinctively, fundamentally to be true about themselves, then what's left is a generation of alienated, hormonally-unbalanced blank slates with no core sense of their own identity and no emotional capacity to resist further conditioning.
Most of the footsoldiers championing the trans cause may not understand this on an intellectual level, but instinctively, I think they do. They realize the implications this could have for their social project, and that's why they will always prioritize it over every other one of their pet causes. In the UK schools debate between Muslim parents and the trans lobby, it was the trans lobby who won. The reason for that is that as much as the left fetishize Islam for the destabilizing effect it has on our society, the trans movement will always be more important to them, whether it ends up being successful or not.
reddit will never cave to the pressure. If they actually fire Challenor, or even allow discussion about him, they'll make themselves pariahs in silicon valley and they'll be setting themselves up to be lambasted by the Twitterati and every trans activist group.
The left will never abandon the transgender movement. They'll allow it to consume them before they abandon it, although more likely they'll just succeed in institutionalizing it. Either way, no matter how much trouble things like this cause, they will never abandon it. It's too important to them.
All the reports we've heard from people who've actually interacted with Linehan personally is that he's an egomaniac and an extreme narcissist.
Like so many others in his industry, he's an ugly teenaged social outcast grown into an equally ugly man, who turned to comedy as a way to attract women, and who even now is so desperate for women's approval that his insecurity informs his every action and belief.
Hello fellow Coloradans. Aloha snackbar.
That's almost as ridiculous as half the shit Knowles says.
Exactly. We can't just accept claims like this at face value just because they target people we might disagree with politically.
So about those bases in the Gulf states.... Have fun getting kicked out of those
He's been pretty gung ho about the lockdowns and everything, definitely. A Covid Karen of the top tier, but the one thing Piers Morgan is not is ideologically constrained in his positions. He clamors for gun control and demands the arrest of people who go jogging alone during lockdown, and everyone on the right calls him a leftist. Then he says something common-sense about Markle and the left condemn him as a fascist.
If you're looking for comedy, a lot of the old British TV comedy classics are on YouTube now: Jeeves and Wooster, Are You Being Served, Dad's Army, Keeping Up Appearances and It Ain't Half Hot Mum are all both hilarious and very un-PC.
Also on YT, you can find all of the old Granada Television Sherlock Holmes serials with Jeremy Brett. They're the best Holmes adaptations that have ever been done.
Capitulating to Islam means giving up your freedoms every bit as much as capitulating to leftism does. Islam is not a religion: it is a totalitarian political ideology, one that enforces strict codes of behavior that apply to every aspect of public and private life, in a way that Christianity has never tried to do.
I don't think he is a nationalist. Navalny's a political chameleon. He'll be whatever he thinks he needs to be in order to advance his own prospects. The problem that his Western backers are having is that, like Garry Kasparov before him, he never managed to build up enough traction, which is why it was never true to call him the "leader" of Russia's opposition.
The second largest political party in Russia after Putin's United Russia are the Communists, and that has been true since the fall of Communism. They have the second largest number of legislative seats, nationally as well as regionally, and there are even Communist mayors of several major Russian cities. For a long time, the perennial Communist presidential candidate was Gennady Zyuganov, who ran in four successive presidential elections and came in second each time, as did his successor in 2018. If there is a "leader" of Russia's anti-Putin opposition, it's him.
The third largest political party in Russia is the "Liberal Democratic" party, who are neither liberal nor particularly democratic, and who believe Putin is not hard line enough on nationalist issues.
The problem that the globalists have always had in Russia is that the two most viable political alternatives to Putin are nationalistic Communists on the one hand and militant right-wing ultra-nationalists on the other. All of their efforts to support a pro-globalist alternative to Putin have been wasted, because the popular support for that option is just not there.
Putin's organization does routinely rig elections in Russia, but only to maintain their supermajority in the duma so that they can keep changing the constitution on a whim. Even in a fair election, Putin would still win, and globalist candidates would still poll in the single digits.
I notice the media have stopped referring to him as "Russian opposition leader", too, which was a lie every time they said it.
The people hyping it up have drastically underestimated the degree to which the rest of us actually give a shit.
Pat is a treasure.
I watched this when it first got posted a couple of days ago. Witj what he says about the trans movement and a couple of other things, I'm astonished that it's actually still up on YT. I was sure they'd have taken it down by now.
