Parental outrage in the UK managed to get the Tavistock clinic shut down, and managed to get even some members of the Tory party to start addressing this issue in government. Parental outrage in the US has led to a number of entire school boards being jettisoned and replaced with anti-groomers. In Canada, we've just seen our largest protests since the Freedom Convoy in response to what's going on in schools. The backlash against the tranny groomers has become culturally mainstream, and is now producing results. We need to temper our typical right-wing tendency to think that just because our enemies aren't currently being lined up against a wall, that means we're losing. Being defeatist as we're starting to win is a great way to kill the momentum.

I run a business where half of my employees are teenagers or young adults. Even ten years ago, I could have expected a level of maturity and intelligence from a fifteen-year-old that I can now only reliably expect from an eighteen-year-old. My hiring threshold for age has had to increase just to find people who will reliably show up for work, let alone are capable of actually independently doing their job for ten minutes without supervision.

The school lockdowns during the plandemic were the absolute nail in the coffin for this generation. They were on shaky ground before that. Now they're just fucked.

The vaccine seems to have led to even more dead babies on top of all of the dead babies from abortions, so it all looks pretty coherent to me.

This is the same BBC that's spent 20 years running interference for the Muslim rape gangs comprised of men in their 30s and 40s or older targeting white kids as young as twelve.

In RFK's case, they already tried to shoot him.

The fact that 15% of the Muslims sampled identify as non-heterosexual tells me that non-heterosexuals are being massively oversampled in every demographic for this study. Every stat on here is bullshit.

Islam only purges the degenerates if they aren't a part of the religious or social hierarchy. Religious leaders and members of royal and noble families routinely get away with homosexual behavior, marrying children and any number of other degenerate practices, many of which we don't even tolerate here in the West.

Well, it's abstract the way modern art is abstract.

At least some Europeans are capable of understanding that their beloved welfare states can only work in a homogenous society.

The thing that makes life life is organic chemistry, which requires liquid on or under the surface at cool enough temperatures for molecular bonds to form, and a stable environment over a long period of time. All of our observations so far have told us that that set of circumstances is extremely rare.

The earliest fossils we have of primordial life forms on Earth date back nearly 4.3 billion years, almost immediately after the Earth formed. As far as the chances go of finding life on other planets, that's pretty encouraging. It may even have happened more than once in our solar system.

But we're not just looking for life. We're looking for civilizations, and here's the flip-side: If there was ever life on Mars or Venus, it's not there now.

We live on a perfect planet in a perfect orbit around a perfect sun. If we were slightly closer to the sun than we are, we probably wouldn't be here. If we were any further away than we are, we probably wouldn't be here. If we didn't have plate tectonics, there would be no water cycle and we would have a runaway greenhouse effect that would have long since turned the Earth into Venus. If the Earth was much smaller than it is, then our mantle would be thinner and would already have cooled and solidified, which would mean no magnetic field and solar radiation would have blasted away most of the atmosphere and turned the Earth into a frozen desert, like Mars.

If our sun were a red dwarf, like 80-85% of the stars that exist, then it would be so much smaller that we and every other planet in orbit would be tidally locked, meaning one hemisphere would always be facing the sun, being perpetually baked and fried, and the other hemisphere would be a permanent night side, eternally dark and frozen. Most red dwarves are also flare stars, prone to wild and unpredictable variations in light and heat output. If our sun suddenly got twice as bright and twice as hot and stayed that way for several hours, we'd be fucked. If it did that every few days or weeks at random and unpredictable intervals, there would be no stable climate on any planet in the solar system. Almost no red dwarf produces enough consistent UV radiation to kick start organic chemistry at all, and these are the vast majority of stars that exist. If we were around a much brighter and more massive star than our sun, then it would have burned through all of its hydrogen and gone nova eons ago, and taken us out with it.

If we were in a binary or a trinary star system, like most star systems are, then the orbits of all of the planets would be erratic and wobbly, also creating hugely unstable climates, likely incapable of sustaining liquid water on the surface. We also live in a relative void in the interstellar medium. It's extremely rare to have a star whose nearest stellar neighbour is more than four light years away. It we were in a denser stellar neightborhood, closer to the center of the galaxy than we are, we probably wouldn't be here. If we were further out than we are, then there's another whole set of factors counting against us and we probably wouldn't be here. If we were too close to a black hole, or a neutron star or a starbirth region with supergiants going nova every couple million years, or a gamma ray buster, then we wouldn't be here.

If we didn't have Jupiter in the outer solar system, with its huge gravity eating up all the rocks careening around all over the place that want to come crashing into us, then we wouldn't be here. Even as it is, one of them occasionally gets through. The likelihood of a planet the size of Jupiter forming around a star the size of our sun is actually quite low.

We have all of these factors working in our favour, and yet even here, on this perfect planet in its perfect orbit around a perfect star, in a relatively quiet corner of a relatively stable galaxy; even here, it has taken 4.3 billion years, a third of the age of the universe, for those first organisms to reach stage that we're at now, and no evidence exists that it happened earlier.

Of course it's possible for it to have happened somewhere else, but if it has then it's almost certainly so rare and so distant that we will never meet them. For all practical purposes of the word, we are alone, and we almost certainly always will be.

The Pandemrix scandal was too recent and left too much of a mark on the Swedish public consciousness. As woke and cucked as most Swedes are, they would never have tolerated the government trying to force an experimental vaccine on them so soon after the last one permanently fucked up hundreds of kids.

The Swedish government absolutely would have loved to implement all of the same lockdown measures and vaccine passports as everywhere else, but their hands were tied. Sweden passed laws around 2010 restricting coercive public health measures after the Pandemrix scandal.
