Would be based if true, since it'd mean the right is actually starting to fight back in a way that kicks the left where it genuinely hurts (unlike voting in rigged elections or bitching about their inevitable defeat in rigged courts). Doesn't even have to be out-of-staters, my understanding is that eastern Washington & Oregon are pretty strongly conservative areas that are just outweighed by the urban bughives of Seattle & Portland.
Unfortunately I don't think we can rule out glowie gayops (whether through Antifa or some other front) to try to justify additional crackdowns & gun-grabbing.
Pretty much where I'm at. I know there's been a lot to get blackpilled over but constant dooming & despair is no way for anyone to live - the early Christians managed to keep up their spirits and celebrate the First Coming of the Lord even while getting crucified, burnt at stakes, or thrown to lions by their persecutors, there's no excuse for us to let the Left get us down on this day.
Merry Christmas.
Eh, we'll only find out just how good the Western world's air defenses if it actually happens (I hope we don't, but I live in a suburb of a city in a Western country that isn't the US and thus not likely to enjoy advanced ABM/anti-air protection, making it absolutely fucked in a hot war).
Doesn't have to be every single nuke that gets through either, right? More-so things depend on which nukes make it through. If that 'couple of cities' that get nuked happen to be the most important power-centers of the globohomo regime (NYC, DC, LA, etc.) and the puppet-masters themselves are the ones who get vaporized then that takes out the decision-makers and their sheep who have the most interest in carrying on a hot war. Heh, we should be so lucky...
A hot war with Russia (which is what 'direct intervention to overthrow Putin' would entail) means they'll be prioritizing the cities (read: bugman hives and diversity clusters) for nuclear annihilation, that's just basic military logic. If it gets to that point Putin would glass Washington DC (what with it hosting the heart of the US government & the Pentagon) long before he even thinks about dropping a big hot one on the backwoods of Idaho.
And no, AP Hill was not known to be a slaveowner (though his family owned slaves), and even denounced a lynching while he was still alive. Doesn't matter, he must still be treated in a manner that even the Romans and Mongols at their worst would find disgusting, because he's a straight Christian white male who fought for the Literally Nazis Before There Were Nazis.
To the descendants of AP Hill, who watched as this travesty happened before them: were I you I'd be glowing harder than Chernobyl as I contemplate my existence and Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney. You must know by now that this will not end with your ancestor, it won't end with the dead no more than it ended with the statues, and they have no more respect for the living than they do for the dead - the wokies want to put you in a death camp, but only after they've made you watch your wife and kids be raped first, and to go full Haiti on the entirety of the South.
Yup. Dude's wife has ties to the Biden administration and (being an extension of the Obama administration) they're pretty friendly with the Qataris & Muslim Brotherhood AFAIK - in fact they kinda have to be since they've gone out of their way to shit on the Saudis, who are hostile to Qatar/MB interests. All the bleating about gay rights or slave labor is hollow virtue signaling and the Qataris doubtlessly know it, this guy was safe as long as he didn't lay his hands on the Emir's family or anyone else of actual importance to them.
While it would've been hilarious if they really did kill this faggot for shoving the rainbow rag in their faces, realistically the Qataris - being more rational actors than the incumbent US government themselves - wouldn't have given enough of a shit to kill him and needlessly antagonize their patron (who they certainly would like to continue favoring them over SA).
I'm hoping this is the start of the real-life NSF while also pessimistically considering the more realistic possibility of the latter, myself.
I'm not convinced the whole 'love thy enemies at all costs, including their continued refusal to repent for their sins, and always turn thy cheek to them when they strike thee - forget everything the Savior ever said about buying swords' thing isn't a psyop instigated by subversive agents who have wormed their way into every sect of repute over the last century and are hellbent on rendering Christianity impotent to remove a major historical opponent of Bolshevism in all its forms. I know it happened to the Catholic Church (see Bella Dodd's testimony and the entire history of 'liberation theology') and I'd assume this virus has infected the Protestant churches in a similar fashion (would explain, for example, the Lutheran obsession with flooding Minnesota with Somalis since the '90s).
Yep, saw a story about one of the (R) Senators striking an accord with Sinema over amnesty like...yesterday on this very site. And now reading about how Herschel Walker's been defeated in the Georgia Senate runoff (an outcome I was already expecting), all I'm thinking is this memetic line. The entire West's circling the drain, just a question of when and how badly it's gonna go down the tubes.
Perhaps if conservative Christians acted more like Muslims, the restaurant would've thought twice about screwing them over.
"We have always refused service to anyone for making our staff uncomfortable or unsafe and this was the driving force behind our decision"
My ass they 'always' have. They wouldn't have dared cancel the reservation of a bunch of Muslims who they bet would Allahu Akbar their snackbar if insulted (and in the name of faggots and whores no less) and then sue the survivors of their rampage for Islamophobia to boot, and they'd damn well have acted with similar caution & submissiveness if they could 'safely' assume that denying service to Christians would result in a mini-crusade tearing them several new assholes too.
As Deus Ex put it: "If there wasn't organized oppression, there wouldn't be organized resistance, and what you call terrorism would not exist."
Another poster here also put it pretty well - it'd be based af if this really was the work of a right wing 'terror' cell that finally had enough after the midterms just now. I doubt it, but it's nice to dream.
Indonesia's a Muslim country, so the answer is actually 'yes'.
Exactly right. In trying to subvert Tolkien, Martin has subverted good storytelling, and it shows in the show's ending. D&D used his notes for that after all, and I 100% believe the absolute nonsense we got like King Bran had to have come from him (were it just left to the terrible two, I think we'd have gotten a lame but network-safe happy ending in the vein of Jon & Daenerys sitting the Iron Throne together to lead Westeros into an age of prosperity - they patently didn't like the magical aspects of the setting and left Bran out of the entirety of Season 5). That said ending was pretty much universally loathed must have really burned his ass, and deservedly so, to the point that he still hasn't published the next book after 11 years.
Frankly I'm at the point where I'd far prefer 'boring' but sensible happy endings over subversive last-minute gotchas that needlessly wreck the setting and subvert my expectations of a good or even OK work. Although I don't think we'll have to worry about that on Gurm's part, he'll release a book all about the intimate details of Rhaenyra's affairs before TWOW and ADOS at the rate he's going.
Already kinda happened, the Afghans (a 'cisheteropatriarchal' culture if I've ever seen one) used homemade single-shot rifles as part of their arsenal in the wars against both the commie Soviets and American-led globohomo. They had previously used these jezails to great effect against the British...200 years ago.
The closest approximation I can think of is if a militia of American Christian nationalists were able to hold out against a vastly larger and better-equipped blue helmet occupying force for 20 years until the UN finally fucked off, despite having to wield M16s and Revolution-era Kentucky rifles against drones, jets, MOABs and the rest of today's cutting-edge arsenal in general.
I believe a certain real-life shonen hero had something to say about his ilk, something like...
Never let evil take root.
No, just Leo Frank (the 'pedo in question' and 'him' in my previous post). Jim Conley (the black janitor accused of killing the white girl, Mary Phagan) was still alive by 1941 at least, when he was reportedly arrested for gambling & public drunkenness.
Also, the pedo in question was so obviously guilty that not even the 1910s Georgian lynch mob which killed him would agree that said black guy was at fault.
This, hot damn. Indonesia tabulates its paper-ballot-only votes by hand (no machines involved at all) and even though it takes forever for the official electoral authority to formally announce the results, 'quick counts' based on data from the polling precincts at the end of election day have always been enough to make it obvious who won. Even Brazil at least managed its fraud operation in a day, not an entire week.
Voting machines were introduced with the promise of making elections smoother and more efficient, but America never had election week before they entered the scene. Same as mail-in ballots and other such bullshit, even the fraud-ridden 1960 election was (like Brazil) done in a day and Nixon conceded the next afternoon, and this isn't even discounting how Katie Hobbs is overseeing the count in her own election. American democracy is undeniably fake and gay.
Wow, feels like yesterday that this guy was making the news as the 'trans-Korean influencer'.
Hell, democracy didn't work in its very birthplace. Athens lost the Peloponnesian War because the demagogue Alcibiades convinced the voters it would be a brilliant idea to open a new front against neutral Syracuse, ostensibly to help a minor ally (Segesta) but in reality with hopes of plundering the riches of Sicily and neutering a potential future rival to their hegemony over Greece, when they were winning against Sparta (their original enemy).
Even before the ensuing crippling defeat, the Athenian empire was hardly the benevolent force for liberation and mutual protection it pretended to be, being quite brutal to any who crossed it or tried to leave the Athens-led Delian League. Its ancient Persian enemy, which lent support to Sparta during the Peloponnesian War because Athens was hellbent on antagonizing them and fucking around in Ionia even after they had retreated from Greece itself, was at worst just as bad and at best might have actually been less shitty (certainly less hypocritical) than Athens & the Delians. Also it was the source of the Melian Dialogue, which boiled down to the reality that it was truly no less corrupt and oppressive than any more openly malevolent empires, in spite of all its leaders' claims to the contrary.
I don't put excessive stock in historical cycles repeating itself, but damn if it isn't tempting to substitute 'USA' for Athens, 'NATO/the GAE' for the Delian League, '(Post-Soviet) Russia' for Syracuse & Sparta both, 'China' for Persia, and 'literally everyone who has ever crossed the liberal world order and gotten bombed to slag for it, from Vietnam to Serbia to Libya & Syria' for unfortunate Melos. I don't think there's any chance for an optimistic ending (unless you're a weapons manufacturer or exporter of globohomo of course) to our latter-day Peloponnesian War either, not even for our 'Athens' should they win. (Had Athens won the Peloponnesian War, most likely its empire would still have eventually unraveled between internal dissent at the ruthless reality of Athenian hegemony and mounting external pressure from Persia and especially rising Macedon)
Seriously, the Dobbs case was literally the first notable victory for the American Right in the culture war since the start of the Cold War. Before this they had lost or were clearly losing every single fight - school prayer, abortion, affirmative action, gay marriage, the modern 'queer' degeneracy spinning wildly out of the latter - and Dobbs was the very first time they managed any serious pushback on any of these fronts in 50+ years. (The Kennedy v. Bremerton case on school prayer barely counts in comparison, at that point things were so far gone that SCOTUS had to protect the individual's right to public religious observance rather than school prayer specifically)
It is complete, blackpilled fucking insanity to declare that because of one midterm where the Democrats were inherently favored (look at how many Senate races had Republican defenders compared to the 2018 and 2024 cycles) and the GOP hasn't even necessarily LOST (Nevada & Arizona haven't been called yet, they're projected to take the House and thus break up the governing Dem trifecta at least, and apparently they've won many state & local level races which will be critical to pushing back against the feds), just underperformed expectations, that the Right should now throw its hands up and walk away from that singular major cultural victory. Especially since every single Republican governor who actually passed abortion bans/restrictions won, and won crushingly - I would much sooner blame Mitch McConnell and the establishment withholding resources from Republicans they didn't like for the red wave turning out to be a trickle than Dobbs and the pro-lifers.
Politics is the art of the possible. So sure, it's not practical to push for a Human Life Amendment that bans abortion nationwide with few to no exceptions, because multiple generations have grown up with 50 years of Roe being the law of the land and deprogramming usually takes a good deal of time. Literally nobody important brought that idea up this cycle other than McConnell anyway, and he obviously would prefer to remain in opposition than have to deal with a GOP majority he can't control. They should look to how the first Republicans handled slavery instead.
Fremont & Lincoln didn't stick immediate abolition on their platforms because they knew it'd never attract votes outside of abolitionist bastions like New England. But they still pushed the envelope where they could (Free Soil - banning slavery from the western territories, gradual emancipation in places like NY, etc.), and left it to activists like Harriet Beecher Stowe to shift the culture while more aggressively fighting the (increasingly literal) battles where the atmosphere was favorable to their cause (like Slave Power and its consequences, incl. Dred Scott, and Bleeding Kansas)
So too should the GOP maintain a pro-life-leaning but 'we'll respect state decisions on the matter' stance nationally, pushing abortion as far as practical on the state level (ex. a total ban would be viable in ruby-red South Dakota, but purpler North Carolina requires a more flexible approach in the short to medium term). It's the battles where the Right has more momentum, like tranny bathrooms and drag queen story hour, that should be fought more aggressively in the short to medium run with an eye on eventually shifting the culture in a more conservative direction (ie. by forcing woke teachers out of their positions, undermining teachers' unions, flipping school boards, building on the Kennedy case to move toward the restoration of school prayer, etc.) and making things like the Human Life Amendment possible. Basically, anything but abandoning yet another front on the culture war, and not even half a year after the first big breakthrough there too.
Sure it's going to take a while, but again that's a given due to how long abortion has been legal and the idea that it's some inalienable woman's right has been drilled into the heads of generations by academia. Unless by some miracle zoomers & Millennials become so disgusted with themselves and their culture that we get the same cultural snapback which saw Britain flip from the decadence of the Regency Era to the much stricter morality of the Victorian period or Germany go from the rampant child prostitution and assorted degeneracy of Weimar to electing Literally Hitler and tossing Hirschfeld's scribbles onto the pyre in 10 years anytime soon, the long game is all we've got. It's also how the Left has gotten to this point too, after all, the Democrats of the 1970s were hardly coming out swinging with nine-month and post-birth abortions, drag kids and abolishing whiteness either.
You know, the only person of note I heard calling for a nationwide abortion ban this election cycle was Mitch McConnell, who pretty obviously has an interest & preference in remaining in opposition over potentially having to deal with a slate of America-First senators and has actively sabotaged them (ex. Masters, Bolduc) with more than just words where he could. Even the most hardline bans still include exemptions for the life of the mother, and from a realpolitik POV, they also only happened in states that were already staunchly conservative like OK.
A 15-week abortion ban even just on the state level, with exemptions, was IMPOSSIBLE as long as Roe v. Wade remained in force. The whole point of that case was that it unilaterally legalized abortion across all states, without a single vote outside of the nine Justices who decreed that it be so. It was impossible to do anything beyond curtailing the most extreme practices which only the demonically possessed could tolerate in the first place, such as partial-birth abortion, so long as that ruling stood.
Nah, I've been hearing this 'we need to put off anything resembling an actual move on the abortion issue because muh electoral politics' line ever since I became politically aware, and older pro-lifers have been hearing it since the 70s. That nonsense can fuck right off, and anyone who buys into it (like you) is the real retard playing into an increasingly blatantly rigged game. If you have to throw away your principles and become a soulless uniparty hack forever trying to string your constituents along, then your '''''victory''''' is a hollow one at best.
If the Democrats get a big enough margin they'll finally dispel the fiction of a functioning democracy once and for all? Fucking fantastic I say, the sooner it becomes obvious to the masses that electoralism is as rigged and unwinnable a game as optics, the better. And I hope they get the chance right alongside the depression they're working so frantically to bring about as well, to maximize the chance of blowback and total system failure.
Nothing short of the discrediting and collapse of all current institutions and the poisonous belief system undergirding them is going to open the door to fixing civilization in our lifetimes. At this point, still trying to uphold the same system and play by its rules is complete fucking idiocy.
This, by the beard of Saint Nicholas and the hair of Saint Gianna. The left passed Obamacare, got it upheld by Roberts, and got progressively massacred (downballot at least) from 2010 to 2016 but stayed the course. Gay marriage was so unpopular that even fucking California voted against it back in the day, then the left used the courts to impose it there and eventually across the nation. The right gets what so many of them have supposedly wanted for 50 years from SCOTUS for a change, and then bitches because it might've impacted a single election cycle? Give me a break.
Roe v. Wade stood on such shaky (or outright nonexistent) constitutional ground that it should've been struck down for that alone, as even the uber-leftist Ginsburg once agreed. If not this year, then when - next year or 2024, when it could've been used by the left to attack the Republicans in a presidential election year? Gotta bite the bullet at some point, and the lives of the unborn matter more than a midterm election.
George Washington would disagree. And call you a pussy-ass bitch.
