Brandon Herrera has, thus far at least, refused to 'lose with dignity' like the good cuck Tony Gonzales & AIPAC were hoping for and in response to their overt bragging about helping push their pawn over the finish line with their dirty money, has called them out for buying American elections. Hopefully this taste of Jewish power has woken at least a few of the young Internet-savvy & populist-minded American conservatives, the people most likely to have backed Herrera, up to the reality of their country & world.
That'll be important going forward. The establishment had to bring out all the big guns against Herrera - outspent him 10:1, got AIPAC directly involved, pulled Mike Johnson & Greg Abbott both onto Gonzales' side, etc. - and the best they could get was this razor-thin result, not even 500 votes between their man and the populist challenger. Definitely doesn't project strength and confidence on the part of said establishment, and I don't think such investments are sustainable if they have to do it for 100+ more races across more states than just Texas.
Gonzales has openly declared that getting revenge on Herrera backers like Matt Gaetz will be his priority if he wins, which he has barring a miraculous turnaround in a recount. So he's definitely learned shit all from this, other than to be even more vindictive & entitled than the average RINO and to shit down his constituents' throats even harder than before.
Nice to see a medieval tradition being kept alive. Knights' destriers didn't just carry their riders but were trained to be absolutely vicious bastards that'd kick, bite and trample their way across a battlefield in support of said riders too, per contemporary accounts of medieval battles and even pictures from manuscripts depicting such training. How fortunate for this lady (and unfortunate for the Internet audience) that that guard's horse didn't fully inherit the temperament of its ancestors.
Insert the classic 'I have nothing but contempt for your backwards superstition but maybe if I quote half-remembered verses from its holy book, it'll make you do as I say' smuggie here.
Trial happened in Travis County, AKA Austin, AKA Texas' main libcuck bughive. Place went 71% for Biden in 2020, Perry had no chance of getting justice from all the blue state expats there.
If you're into strategy games then definitely Rome: Total War (I), the 2004 original, as well as Medieval II Total War from 2007. Aside from the base games themselves they have so, so many mods as well (helps that the old engine is more moddable, especially map-wise, than the new engine used by the series since Empire), including some which are being worked on even today.
The only true and righteous thing any anarcho-Communist has ever said is that liberals rightly get the bullet, too.
It started with the Cold War, where Palestine (and the Arab world at large) was generally supported by the Soviets while Israel was at least theoretically supposed to be in America's corner (in practice, they pursued their own interests). Got bad enough that there was at least one major direct confrontation between the Israeli Air Force & Soviet fighters helping out the Egyptians, which the Israelis won. Also, enough Jews wanted to GTFO of the Soviet Union and were banned from doing so until cracks started emerging in the 1970s that a term had to be invented for it, 'refusenik'.
The Soviets had plenty of interest in propagating pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel propaganda back then while the American establishment was firmly aligned with Jews in general: Democrats have pretty much always counted them as a key supporting demographic since FDR's day because they're urban and on-average educated immigrants or the descendants of immigrants with a socialistic bent, while in the Republican Party Jewish neocons were able to sideline actual American nationalists like the John Birch Society with the help of shabbos goyim like the Buckleys. (I think it's noteworthy that no matter how hard Republicans suck up to American Jews, as a voting bloc they have literally never once voted in the majority for the GOP, not even for theoretically universally popular candidates like Eisenhower or Reagan.) Since both parties' establishments were staunch supporters of Israel and this status quo has only begun to be challenged very recently, it was only natural that anti-Israeli forces were going to be anti-American by nature as well.
Post-Cold War and more relevant to the younger generations like the lunatic in that video above, it's just a case of rootless blood-red Western Jews' golem slipping the leash and turning on them. Only one thing can happen when you do your damndest over several generations to turn your students into frothing-at-the-mouth Red Guard wannabees with a programmed murderous hatred of anything that smacks of 'colonialism' or 'whiteness', while Cousin Akiva on the other side of the world is busy building settlements and displacing the brown(er) locals.
Slavery? Hearing what this cunt has to say, I'm starting to think the Reconstruction/Jim Crow-era white Southerners who believed in the necessity of lynching random niggers from time to time to remind the rest of their place were on to something. Maybe their kind does need to be constantly kept scared shitless, genuinely oppressed into the dirt and ripped into bloody shreds in a public spectacle the moment they put a toe out of line for the rest of us to be able to enjoy a civilized society - else they'll gladly do the same to you, except they won't be able to keep the lights on & the plumbing working.
That's something that has always weirded me out. Super-blue districts send partisan zealots like Maxine Waters to represent them, but super-red ones send blatant turncoats like Crenshaw and Kevin McCarthy - snakes who absolutely can't wait to stab their supposed constituents in the back, again and again and again. It even extends to the Senate seats, states which are supposed to be strongly to hyper-conservative like Texas or South Dakota are represented in the upper chamber by McConnell proteges like John Cornyn & John Thune instead. If the Democrats ever have a similar problem at least their 'problematic' Senator comes from a state where them not marching in lockstep with the turbo-progs makes sense, like Manchin from WV. What gives?
Japan needs Otoya Yamaguchi's reincarnation now more than ever.
Pity that this didn't happen on St. Patrick's Day, wish the globalist snake had resigned just three days ago.
For this Saint Patrick's Day I went and did some looking into the 17th-century Irish Confederation that fought Cromwell. Everyone knows the Irish lost and got genocided in the end, but what the Confederacy and its armies were like is a much more obscure topic.
Turns out a small group of Irish historical reenactors made a short film more than a decade ago, centered on Confederate troops reacting to the sack of Drogheda by the Roundhead army called 'The Flag.' And for tabletop wargamers, this ancient blogger painstakingly researched the Confederates' war banners and reproduced them for his own use from 2008-12: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. Fittingly they're chock full of Latin mottos and Catholic imagery which would've shocked & appalled the Irishmen's adversaries. I particularly like the one that literally just depicts an Irish knight torching John Calvin's book (both the Puritans and the Scots Covenanters were Calvinists) and proclaims 'THUS HERESIES PERISH', very blunt & to the point.
I mostly remember RedState for being a battleground between pro-Trump and never-Trump voices on their staff back during the 2016 election, which eventually resulted in the former winning and purging the latter shortly before election day (they then fucked off to neocon sites such as Bill Kristol-sponsored The Bulwark and Erick Erickson's The Resurgent). In more recent months & years, when I take a look at their front page I've sometimes seen dueling articles between pro-Ukraine and anti-Ukraine writers.
Having done a bit more digging, they seem to be a site that tolerates debate & rivaling viewpoints as long as those viewpoints remain broadly right-wing and nobody goes so far as to support the Democrats, which IIRC was the tipping point that precipitated the purge of the Never-Trump RINOs in 2016. Interesting place to be for a conservative website, I suppose. Hard to say whether that's true of their view on gaming too since Morse seems like the only guy who talks about vidya at all on the entire site - if there are any Walsh-types on board, they're keeping it to themselves so far. Then again Morse is apparently a senior editor on there, which may be a good sign depending on the sincerity of his views of gaming.
Final note, it turns out RedState has actually been around longer than the Daily Wire (founded in 2004 vs. 2015) and they're owned by Salem Media Group, a Christian conservative media conglomerate that's been around since the 1970s but has seemingly always had ambivalent relations with the Buckley-Reagan-Bush 'fusionist'/neocon consensus which dominated the American right wing until Trump. Actually all their websites (Townhall, PJ Media, Hot Air - they got rid of Allahpundit a few years ago) have been turning increasingly overtly unfriendly towards the Republican establishment alongside RedState since the mid-2010s, and RedState was also the first site to break the financial scandal that decisively forced Ronna McDaniel out of the RNC. Frankly if these trends continue, I'd rather these guys be the future of the conservative media sphere than more of Fox and the DW.
At a glance this Brandon Morse guy does at least seem more genuinely interested in gaming news: a look through his history of published articles brings me stuff indicating a much more consistent approval of games, disapproval of censorship even on moralistic grounds, and support for gamers, like this article about Stellar Blade and how there's nothing wrong with Eve's sexiness or this one from last November shitting on Alan Wa/oke II. And he does outright describe Matt Walsh's take to be completely wrong very early on in the above linked article. Perhaps we're starting to see tension in the online conservative media sphere between dinosaurs like the Daily Wire and more tech-friendly, forward-looking young guard types?
Anyone more familiar with Brandon Morse and RedState, please do help me fill in the gaps of my knowledge re: how real & reliable they are, at least in comparison to blatant opportunists and fake & gay neocons like Walsh and the Daily Wire.
I'd like to think that's just some pablum he's spouting to appease moderate normie sorts, who seem to be the deciding element in the district where he's running. A guy who was purged for his conservative politics should certainly know better and AFAIK he's never been shy about his conservative beliefs before and after being fired from Bungie over it (indeed, sticking to his guns most probably was what cost him his old job in the first place). He's also at least mildly attuned to the culture war, I remember him posting about boycotting Gilette and going over to Dollar Shave Club instead a few years ago when the furor over that toxic masculinity ad was still fresh.
Gotta keep in mind his district is very purple, presently held by a Democrat and the last few elections there were decided by thin margins. It's very much not an R+20 district where he can afford to reveal his power level in full, go 'yes the Democrats are evil parasites who are ruining this country on purpose and I would love to skin them alive on livestream' and still romp to victory.
For the younger users: O'Donnell used to be the big music guy at Bungie from 1999-2014 (IIRC), most famously composing the soundtrack of the Halo series and Destiny. However, he was suddenly fired 'without cause' in his words a decade ago and Bungie further went out of their way to try to financially screw him over. In hindsight, it's very hard to not assume that he was purged as part of the drive to homogenize politics across gaming studios which was kicking into high gear in the early-to-mid-2010s, as he was (and is) an outspoken conservative.
Well, now he's running for the Republican nomination in NV's 3rd Congressional district. At a glance it seems like a competitive swing district; it was last held by the GOP in 2018, more recently won by non-landslide margins by the Democrat Susie Lee, and presently rated with a Partisan Voting Index of D+1. So probably (hopefully) not insurmountable for O'Donnell if he takes the Republican nomination.
Between this, Sweet Baby Inc. Streisanding itself by trying to suppress that Steam curator, and Maya Kramer re-emerging as a Sweet Baby consultant, it sure feels like I've seen an unusual number of gaming-related blasts from the past in the last few weeks.
Edit: Also, here's O'Donnell's official campaign website.
The Japanese already had to deal with their own version of autogenocidal CRT before it was cool, 'Anti-Japaneseism' in the 1970s.
Oliver Cromwell's genocide of the Irish was merely his second worst atrocity, his real first one was inviting the Tribe back into Britain for the first time in 350 years.
In 2018, 56.4% of new recruits were categorized as white. In 2023, that number had fallen to 44%. During that same five-year period, Black recruits have gone from 20% to 24% of the pool, and Hispanic recruits have risen from 17% to 24%, with both groups seeing largely flat recruiting totals but increasing as a percentage of incoming soldiers as white recruiting has fallen.
It sounds as though blacks & Latinos have indeed been comprising a bigger % of the new recruits, but only because the white men's % has been going down, not because any more of them are actually enlisting than in previous years.
IOW, despite everything - all the pandering, hype around a more diverse military, and whatever material benefits they're offering to the 'POCs' who they have determined to be America's future - the US military is still less successful at actually recruiting hoodrats & illegals with no prospects in life than the Western Roman Empire was at recruiting barbarian foederati.
Kaleb of Aksum would be a better choice, unfortunately the accomplishment which made him the most based black man to ever live is also the reason why Hollywood won't touch his story with a 40 ft pole.
It reeks of Gnosticism. The same set of beliefs - the idea that we're all godly blank slates, but reality from civilized societies down to our very bodies is an oppressive construct built to keep us trapped and suppress our godhood and thus should be dismantled, complete with the same extensions like 'give all your shit to and mindlessly obey the dictates of the elite who have attained gnosis whether they be called Perfecti or The Party or The Experts™', 'men can be women and vice-versa' and 'abortion is fantastic actually, in fact bringing new life into this world is the real sin since you're just trapping more souls in this hell called earth' - keep cropping up, age after age.
The Rousseau-Marx pipeline and all that has spewed forth from it might have completely secularized the worldview and rejected older Gnostic ideas of a religious bent like there being a 'true' goddess called Sophia around, but the core fundamentals are still there. If anything, they've been abandoning any pretense to hard materialism and reverting to the pseudo-religious woo with purposefully built-in, even celebrated, inconsistency and hypocrisy out the ass since Cultural Marxism was articulated by Gramsci, refined by the likes of the Frankfurt School, and entered total ascendancy on the Western left with the 1960s New Left, Paulo Freire's critical theory solidifying in 1970 and the postmodernist crowd while the Soviet Union crumbled.
And the answer to their madness never changes, either: 'kill them all and let God sort them out'.
Always have, always will. Part of TPTB's long-running campaign to domesticate the native populations of the West was to lull them into thinking violence is uncivilized anathema to the political process and never to be considered when it's really its fundamental core, and to stick to voting & meekly protesting within the confines of the rigged system while they're being trampled underfoot.
Yep, this was a huge reason as to why West Virginia counter-seceded from Virginia when the latter joined the CSA during the early stages of the American Civil War. Most of WV was rugged country where it wasn't at all profitable to establish slave plantations, and the poor whites who did settle there to work the land had largely come to resent the Tidewater planter class, who in turn looked down on them as basically the 'white trash' of that era. (This is not to suggest the West Virginians had a modern progressive's attitude to race, of course. Actually they wanted to include a provision for total 'Negro exclusion', which is to say 'no blacks allowed in WV', in their statehood bill, but had to pull it under threat of being stonewalled by influential Radical Republicans like Benjamin Wade.)
Aside from the whole slavery dealio, the planters had also spent decades screwing them out of effective representation in the Virginia state legislature by denying them universal white male suffrage in favor of an older propertied system that favored the slaveowners. There was also a significant culture clash between the generally Episcopalian, Anglo-descended planters of the east & the mostly Scots-Irish, Methodist or Baptist settlers of WV (and the Appalachians in general, which is why similar phenomena happened in parts of many other Confederate states, most famously East Tennessee. IIRC the only CSA state that didn't have poor white regions contributing men to the Union Army was South Carolina, the very 'cockpit of secession' itself).
