Yeah. You could perhaps have succeeded in bullying and harassing young men back into what you perceive to be their societal responsibilities 20 years ago, when they were mostly just confused or overwhelmed at the sheer amount of negativity and hate that was being directed at them. You might have succeeded with your "man up" bullshit 10 years ago, when they were simply dejected or depressed by the fact that they seemed unable to advance themselves no matter how hard they worked. You may even have succeeded 5 years ago, when they were still angry at how they were being treated.

Now, you will not succeed. All of your tradcuck platitudes about men's responsibilities, about the importance of providing for a family, about finding fulfillment through hard work and duty, even if some of them are true, will fail to motivate increasing numbers of teenaged and 20-something white zoomer men.

I work in an industry where I often employ young men of this generation. Some of them are great workers: driven, smart, independent thinkers willing to put in the work. But an increasing number of them, especially those who've been in school over the past few years during Covid, have absolutely no ambition. They're not even depressed or angry: they have already given up before they've turned 20. They're at the Chinese "lying flat" stage that portends an imminent societal collapse. You will never be able to shame them or encourage them into taking on the responsibilities that you want them to take on because they Simply. Do. Not. Care.

And that isn't their fault. It's their mothers' fault. It's their teachers' fault. It's my fault. It's your fault. It's the fault of all the men and women who came before, whose laziness and impotence have allowed this to happen to them.

"Trump didn't fix all of my problems, rebuild the early republic, completely end illegal immigration and bring about the second coming of Christ in one four-year term so I will never vote for him or anything orange ever again" is everything wrong with the right and the reason we keep losing.

Naw y'all. This ain't women's fault at all. These young men are just lazy because of video games and cannabis. Bringing back compulsory military service will sort them right out and fix all of society's problems. And also provide us with more cannon fodder for our next war.

This guy doesn't actually appear to be affiliated with the Bond franchise at all: he's just talking out of his ass.

Doesn't mean he's wrong though.

Herbert himself only made references to the Butlerian Jihad in his main saga, although he was pretty detailed about some of it. His son Brian wrote a sort of historical novel about it with Kevin J Anderson, but the quality of the writing is not as good as Herbert, and I don't really think Brian Herbert understood the main idea behind the historical layout of the Dune universe.

Frank Herbert was highly skeptical of authority in general, and viscerally opposed to anything he perceived as an attempt at social engineering or central planning. The Butlerian Jihad, or revolt against "thinking machines," ostensibly happened because they were trying to plan out everybody's life for them, and the whole main theme of the actual Dune novel series was about freeing humanity from being ruled over by people who could see the future. Two sides of the same coin.

I'd recommend all of the ones written by Frank Herbert. There were a couple done after his death by his son working with other authors, but they're nowhere near as good.

The film is a decent adaptation, and it actually stays true to some of the important themes. I'm not optimistic that they'll be able to keep that up with the next ones though.

Dune. Frank Herbert was an absolute genius, and those books are an extremely well-realized fictional universe, full of a whole host of thoughtful moral and philosophical themes.

Wow, look. Once again the establishment works to try to prop up DeSantis and actively takes steps to exclude Trump. I wonder who the real anti-establishment candidate is?

Canada's national holiday is on July 1st, and we're already being told we're not going to be allowed fireworks in dozens of municipalities. Ostensibly because of all the forest fires that were totally set by climate change and not regime agents.

You're right, and yeah; I didn't intend to post it as a serious conversation piece: It's just funny.

The problem with portraying Mezoamericans in cartoons is you really have gloss over their tendency to carve the still-beating hearts out of people, including their own children.

That will only happen if the MSM takes that line and they won't, because there's too much money invested in the pro-vax narrative for them to waver on it now, even to get one over on Trump.

Some people in the Blazes and Daily Wires of the world are trying to use the vax to undermine Trump, when Ben Shapiro especially was one of the biggest pro-vax voices on the "right" up until a year ago. It's all completely disingenuous. The issue is not the vax for any of these people. The issue is Trump.

Except that almost all foreign game devs with any kind of real infrastructure or budget are Japanese and are currently in the process of being subsumed by the Great Awokening.

Naw, the majority of the audience will turn out to be Millennial white women in their 30s and 40s. You know, the scum of humanity.
