The Global American Empire thought sanctions would ruin Russia. Still think that, though they now think it will take a little longer. Formerly talking weeks, now talking years.
The Russian economy has, according to statistics, been knocked down ten or twenty percent. Seeing a Youtuber chatting to Russians on the ground, sounds roughly accurate. The question is, is it, like the ruble, bouncing back, or going over a cliff? The ruble bounce back came as a shock to the Global American Empire, and they are still in denial, though the denial is getting mighty thin. I rather think that the effect of sanctions on the Russian economy is going to be similar, is already becoming similar.
The effect of the sanctions has been to impose National Capitalism on Russia from outside.
A modest dose of national capitalism worked great for the Trump economy. It spectacularly industrialized South Korea.
National Capitalism defined
National Capitalism is self sufficiency in the organization of people for production, and self sufficiency in the skills and equipment needed for production, that relies on internal free markets and supports local businessmen.
If your people are being organized for production under a businessman subject to a foreign sovereign, that foreign sovereign is going to make him pursue the interests of that sovereign rather than your sovereign, such as exporting his state religion to you, and the interests of that sovereign’s people, not your people.
If the skills and equipment needed for producing one thing are in your country, rather than in a foreign country, production of that thing has large beneficial externalities, making it easier for others of your people to produce other things, creating opportunity and incentive for the talented among your people. These externalities are not part of the profit and loss of the business, so businesses are apt to make decisions to offshore stuff where the offshoring has harmful externalities onshore. And if the business is run by a foreigner subject to a foreign corporate headquarters, he is going to keep critical skills and equipment close to his foreign headquarters. Hence close to a foreign sovereign, and far from your people, who are thus unable to take advantage of those skills and equipment to compete with that business, or start other businesses producing related products.
So how is this working out for Russia
A builder in the middle of a one horse town found that nails and screws were unobtainable or absurdly expensive, because they had formerly been imported from the west. He also found that metals, which had formerly been exported to the west, were now considerably cheaper.
According to Global America Economists, that builder is now going to stop building. And for a little while he did stop building. What he did instead of building was go to China and buy a self contained computer controlled machine that turns metal into nails and screws, and now he is back to building, and also in the business of selling nails and screws.
If millions of Russians are doing something similar, then the short term effect is that the sanctions will have rapidly diminishing impact, and the long term effect will be to create Russian skills and jobs repairing, maintaining, upgrading, and eventually building those machines.
Similarly when the McDonalds franchise pulled out of Russia. The former franchisees organized a new franchise, and their burger joints ripped down their McDonald’s signs and put up the new signs. They also renamed, and slightly altered, their menu. Which means that Russians are a whole lot less likely to be forced to watch black people, mixed race couples, transexuals, and faggots, eating burgers on television.
The smartest man in the room (don’t just take my word for it; ask him yourself) Vox Day has been swindled out of a million dollars or so. Yes, Mr. “What part of don’t talk to the Media do you retards not understand” hooked up with some Hollyweird types and then proceeded to fork over the funds for some movie project to some even shadier characters. And he is now reliant on the FBI to rectify the situation.
I genuinely like Vox Day and have learned a lot over the years from his blog, but the nigga really needs to work on his hubris.
His ego neutered an effectiveness he could have had long ago.
Got an links fam? Genuinely interested…

He went into more detail on his UATV podcast last night, but you need a subscription to access that. I’ve got one to support Razorfist, Prince of Profanity, and that lets me access several other channels including VD’s.
Brings back memories of a client who got into massive legal trouble for selling stock in his father’s company without contacting his lawyers beforehand.
Vox is a moron for placing the $1m security in the hands of a single person who could distribute it without authorization from anyone else. If the producer were smart, he could steal the money and claim ignorance, assuming this is not what he did.
Also, two cents of advice here, you should vet potential business partners before you contact them, not after. This reminds me of all those morons who invested in Bernie Madoff without doing the 20 minutes of research necessary to discover that the sole firm auditing his entire multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme was a one-man operation located in a strip mall behind a grocery store in Rockland County.
Stopped reading Vox after he went full Qtard. Actual UHIQ people (this stands for “ultra-high IQ,†gammas) never go full Qtard.
Hey -fugue, what guidance can you give me on business stuff? You tossed out a comment like:
“you should vet potential business partners before you contact them, not after.”
which seems logical enough, but let me paint you a picture:
A young man has a story. He slaves over it for years, teaching himself to write, re-drafting, adding, editing, until he has something that shines. He has people read it, they tell him it’s great, but empty accolades don’t get things produced. One day, he crosses paths with a “producer” who tells him he has all the contacts he needs. The producer introduces the man to a director, a cinematographer, various department keys, and it finally seems like he’s going somewhere. The producer says he has a financer who is willing to match any investment over X. If the man can raise X, he will have it doubled, and he will be off to the races. He begs and borrows and builds, calling in every favor and family member, and just barely raises X. The producer is impressed, and says everything is lined up, he just needs to prove to the financier that the money is real. So he tells the man to transfer it to him, and then the financier will match, and they can get started. The story has two endings: the funds get matched, the movie gets made, and the battle to get it bought/distributed begins; the last time the man hears from the producer is when he confirms that the money has transferred and the financier is being contacted.
This may sound fantastical, but it is actually a common story. There are so many elements to getting pictures made, so many grifters and schemers. At every stage in the process, one can trip up. Where does a man go to get good financial guidance and legal advice?
Heh!
At that instant, the man should know he is being scammed, no further research being needed.
But, since a scammer is looking for something for nothing, you can always scam a scammer.
See, this is what confuses me: that kind of matching does actually happen. Like, a pool of investors will commit to doing a 4mil injection if the producers can secure another 4 mil. Sometimes, an angel will commit to a guaranteed 2mil injection if a crowdfund hits 100K. It all sounds like a scam! Consider how movies get made for 20mil and barely crack 4 at the box office, but the industry rolls on, and people keep working. I know there are schemes used to hide money (Dark Knight was somehow a loss that required insurance payouts, etc), but I just don’t get how to safely take investment, get people paid, and make good products while staying insulated from insider risks. If I get the funds and make a movie and no one likes it, that’s the creative risk, very inline with slaving away on a script for 3 years that no one ever buys. Unavoidable risk. But the financial side of things is so overwhelming, and where are the based & redpilled lawyers and accountants?
I imagine there are legitimate escrow companies one can use.
The matching does not involve trusting the matcher with the money.
Typical scenario that I am a little bit familiar with. There is a project, on which a great deal of money has been spent. Arguably it now looks promising, but it is going to go on losing money for some time with no money coming in. At the moment it is owned by the programmers, in highly unequal amounts, (early programmers own a hell of a lot more than later programmers) and by the angel investors. And it is out of money. Looking for more money. Which means that existing people have to reach into their pockets and wind up owning more of the project, or outside people have to reach into their pockets. The show goes on the road, the outsiders are unimpressed. Then one guy who is rich because he has made a lot of good calls wants to invest, then suddenly lots of people want to invest in whatever he is investing in. They cut a deal, that so and so will invest X, that this other guy will invest Y, and so on and so forth. And after the deal is done, all the money and ownership changes hands, or none of it does. It is what engineers call an atomic transaction, not sure what accountants and lawyers call it, and one of the services provided (at enormous expense) by the FIRE sector of the economy is such atomic transactions.
Digressing, a blockchain typically provides atomic transactions at a few cents apiece. While atomic transactions are a useful and necessary service, lots of people provide this service way cheaper than the stock market and banks.
An atomic transaction mediated by a regulated financial entity means you are trusting that financial entity (which due to moral decay of the elite is becoming more and more dangerous) but you do not have to trust your counterparties to the deal. The deal happens in full, or does not happen at all. (Or a major and well known financial institution steals everyone’s money because sexism, racism, antisemitism, Covid, and Russia.)
It is difficult to respond to this example because there are so many things wrong here. Jim identifies the producer demanding the young man to wire his money as the point at which he ought to know he is being scammed, but the entire story seems sketchy.
Speaking from personal experience, directors have massive egos and any competent one would never be “introduced†to a lowly screenwriter by his producer. If a real director likes a script, he will ask for the rights to the screenplay and then involve his producer.
Why does the producer like the young man? Sure, he wrote an interesting screenplay, but why would the producer trust him? Does he dress well? Does he come from a similar educational, socioeconomic, ethnic or religious background? Does he have proper etiquette? What is his work experience? If the young man is not competent or skilled enough to be his own director, why not ask for the screenplay and leave the young man out of the production? Why is the producer building a business relationship with the young man? Why ask for the young man’s money; doesn’t the producer know that all young screenwriters are broke? etc. etc. etc.
If the producer desired the young man’s work, he would be asking the young man to write more screenplays, not to collect money.
In business, no one cares about you, no one cares if you die, no one cares if your mother dies, no one cares. The only thing people care about in the world of business is money, and if you forget that you are going to get eaten. The young man reeks of low self-esteem, and those are the easiest to scam.
The general rule when dealing with people in a financial environment is, if this guy tries to f*** me over, can I sue him? If my board tries to subvert my leadership, can I bring them down into hell with me? To find out the answers to these questions, contact your lawyers.
This may not be the answer you wish to hear, but regarding good financial guidance, you have to figure it out yourself. Sure, you can seek a mentor, but the mentor will only tell you his habits, not the right path for you. You have to be at the right place at the right time, do the right things, make the right decisions, and most importantly get lucky. Most people have average jobs because most people cannot handle stress under pressure and the risks of business. With regard to legal advice, contact your lawyers. Lawyers make fortunes because without them ensuring that every party behaves, no one can do business.
Not how the lawyers I have done business with make money.
You arrange your affairs so that you do not have to trust people for too much money – there is usually some method for doing this, escrow and similar arrangements. And you trust people for stuff that they have been trusted for before and come through on.
Near as I can figure, lawyers are bagmen to keep the state off your back. When people get sued, it is for acting rightly while in possession of deep pockets, not for acting wrongly.
Lawyers keep the state off your back, but your business partners can be just as much of a threat to you as the state. Escrow works because the state is willing to enforce fair play on each party involved, and lawyers are the mediators between each party, the state, and each other. Client parties are means by which people in the financial world build “trust,†but when it comes to money there is no one who is truly trustworthy. If you do not make the necessary connections with the right bagmen, other men with their bagmen will try to steal your money.
I knew a man who had his entire fortune worth ~$600 million seized by the courts. He fought and managed to get it back with the help of a massive army of lawyers, but on the implicit condition that he would have to resign from the board of his company.
No. Escrow works because the Escrow agency is honest (you hope). If it decided to screw you, the state would not do a damned thing.
I stand corrected.
I have never engaged in large financial transactions without making sure I could unleash lawyers on potential backstabbers.
Legit business partners make things very easy for you and do not object to diligence, contracts, auditing, etc.
If you actually intend to make money by selling to clients, with the assistance of a partner, you will have no reason not to prove this and you will be motivated to secure the assistance of the partner by proving this. Any red flag basically shows that a proposed deal is junk.
You will learn this from experience if you live long enough.
Yeah, at least call your stolid banker and ask about well-known reliable escrow firms.
With that said, it seems like a brazen scam and it can be difficult to protect yourself from those. Bankers are not 100% reliable with client funds either.
lmao
Everyone is free to point and laugh from the cheap seats. While you may not like Vox for whatever reason, what happened to him is not rare. It could very well have been the error of a novice, and it could also be targeted destruction by devious means. Without seeing the case, couldn’t prove otherwise. But gatekeeping in film is not just restricted the creative side. This sucks for more people than just Vox. Financial management is one of those “critical infrastructure” elements that seems like a common exploit for right wing creativity. While we seem to have many big brains in computers and literature, it would be nice if we had some competent financial managers as well.
You are correct, KD, and I want to make clear that I’m poking VD, not this project specifically. For the record, I’ve donated several times over the years to some of his publishing projects and do not regret any of it.
This one however I didn’t because it seemed way too ambitious for this stage of the game. But I do not laugh at anyone who did. My mirth is strictly aimed at Ted E. Beale, Super Genius:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STeVTzWelns
1. It’s well known that film financing uses nefarious means to exclude right wingers.
2. VD is an astute, aggressively right wing businessman.
3. VD getting scammed by film financiers “could happen to anyone”,
seems like mountainous egos run in his family, his father ended up in prison for blatantly doing the “I am a sovereign citizen and openly refuse to pay taxes” thing… and it worked out as well as that usually does.

Too many red flags to count. Obvious leftie signalling in appearance, pronoun compliance in his bio, as well as, and perhaps more importantly, a former Zcash guy.
But this project seems faithfully done, a private cross chain exchange market. It also runs deeper, as, according to this interview, this is only the proof of concept first step into a more comprehensive and workable digital exchange system.
At 8:45 our subject goes into describing what jim has described here countless times, that a complete digital payments system includes communication and metadata. That this project is the minimum viable execution of that goal, where at least there is crossflow of information between parties.
Henry de Valence has blue hair~
He is also a Zcash veteran, and zcash was sort of a scam, or was cargo cult cryptography.
And he has blue hair.
But the idea seems brilliant. You transfer value from an open and public chain to this shielded chain, and then, under another id you transfer it back.
What he is proposing is an anonymized untraceable dex. Which is a really good idea.
He is seriously thinking about what the new advances in cryptography makes possible. Smart guy with good and important ideas.
But, he has blue hair.
On the other hand, anyone who notes that the government kills people based on metadata just has to be one of the good guy cryptographers.
That is a shill/entryist test for cryptographers. It is like a purported Christian nationalist affirming that Jesus Christ is Lord. If a Christian nationalist says Jesus Christ is Lord, unlikely to be an enemy entryists against Christian Nationalism, and if a cryptographer says the government kills people based on metadata, unlikely to be an enemy entryist against privacy and security.
As with Milo and Bronze Age Pervert, getting mixed signals here, but Milo is one of the good guys, and, while remaining deeply suspicious (he has blue hair) I am inclined to think Henry de faggot is one of the good guys.
Giving benefit of the doubt, perhaps this is an obfuscation mechanism. Oh no worries to you, dear overlords, for I am under your tribe. So saying, I think he’s Canadian, that makes it more likely he’s just a faggot with an inclination towards cypherpunk aesthetic.
Penumbra is very interesting, they are doing more than just a shielded DEX. They are building shielded delegations for proof of stake: https://penumbra.zone/blog/shielded-staking-is-here/ an absolutely essential component for the vision of a coercion-resistant money coordination system.
https://penumbra.zone/team
A couple of faggots, a freak, and a woman. Not exactly who I would expect would be able to pull off anything useful at all.
I did run my eye over Henry de Faggot’s twitter and he seemed, like Thiel, to be a very competent man who also loves cock.
A huge problem with Penumbra is that it is designed to work in the Ether ecosystem, which is wholly enemy controlled.
A lot of leftists sincerely buy the rhetoric that the world is crushed under the heel of white heteronormative male misogynist capitalists, and leftism is all about fighting power for freedom.
And then they actually fight power for freedom and are promptly crushed like bugs by the left. I think Henry de Faggot is actually fighting power for freedom, and thinks Ether is a great place to do that because full of fellow leftists
They are not building for Ether, but Cosmos. I don’t smell anything rotten coming out of the cosmos related teams.
Off topic. Was reading some spin off anecdotes of the “hamburger” shooting regarding cop abuse. One was a guy in a rental car that was erroneously reported stolen. Driver (white), with child in car, was aggressively threatened and pulled out at gun point.
This got me speculatively thinking. What if you’re caravanning with one or more other cars and you get pulled out of your car at gunpoint, and at the same time, one of your “buddy” cars pulls over 100 yards back and he gets out and gets behind the car? I imagine the cop(s) would go ape shit! LOL. I wonder if they already have training/procedure for this?
I strongly doubt that officers are trained to do ANYTHING when surprised by superior numbers of armed personnel yelling at them to get on the ground or be put under it. Would be hilarious to watch them piss their pants though.
And on the possibly lighter side: defector from Mormon polygamist cult details it all. The horror, the horror.

Morality debates aside, I am impressed by the sheer logistics. Assuming this mother was above average fertile, 5 children per wife still equals 70 children. That’s ridiculous. How do you arrange for all that to function.
Lol, hive-mind Alf!
Probably because the rest of the women help out until the first few kids are old enough to look after the younger kids. Once you get that rolling, then it becomes much easier. Set up those responsibilities early and get them used to helping out. Then there is also the generational element, where the older women are helping their daughters out. It would require a strong sense of community, but clearly it is doable.
Yes I think you’re right. And as the article says:
Get the women to help each other out raising kids, maintain strict chain of command among the men, reinforce roles in the church and communal activities. Honestly, good gig, pretty impressive.
The major kinks seem to me that you’ll run out of women, and you’ll have to marry second cousins and such with each other. Not sure if those two are related.
A lot of nice-looking girls in those pictures. None fat. An American would have to be crazy not to convert.
“Kollene was allowed to go to public school when she was in kindergarten, and being in the ‘real world’ made her realize at a young age that her life in The Order was not normal and that she wanted to leave the sect.”
If you go to the trouble of establishing a closed, atypical society, why in fuck would you send the kids to outside schools?
Ms. Complainy-slut was one of twelve kids from 1 of 14 wives. Think on those numbers, gentlemen.
Thinking on those numbers, I wonder what happened to the 13 other men? I am assuming they still have a 1.02:1 ratio of males to females born. Where are all the other men? The only ways that works out is if either the birthrate is massively skewed, or they are running out their sons. Both indicate a problem, whether environmental or social, and in either case this only lasts while things are peaceful. Once wife raiding becomes common due to breakdowns in order, those people are fucked.
Don’t they count on outside women converting to (this particular polygamous subset of) mormonism? Not sure how the seduction part turns out, but to women it does have the alpha male harem appeal.
Yeah, I think this level of bride hoarding may easily become a major social problem if it isn’t already.
As to what happens to the surplus males, another article about other Mormon polygamists mentioned that they get kicked out of the community at the age of majority. Also seems like a social problem in waiting.
It may also be difficult to guard 14 wives so I wonder what the level of paternity testing may be.
>get kicked out of the community at the age of majority
try 13, or sometimes even younger. Imagine one day your dad takes you on a road trip. Several hundred miles away he drops you off the side of the road. You wonder around and find a whole community of other abandoned boys living in plywood shacks with the rare drop off of government assistance food.
Well, that tears it for me. It would be a pleasure to smoke these faggots and redistribute their ill gotten gains amongst the men. What an awful insult to GNON’s gift of sons.
Horrible. That’s a fundamental reason why Early Christianity required Monogamy. Especially the Church Fathers too.
Polygamists who convert ought to keep their current wives but stop marrying anymore. But the next generation must be monogamous.
They dump their excess sons who mostly end up as illiterate unemployed drains on society forever collecting government handouts. Many end up in Arizona living in nearly all male communes in the middle of the desert because the cults have enough brains to not keep a bunch of potential problems around. I visited one of those communes when I drove through Arizona once and got to talk to some of them. They were dropped off the side of the road with nothing to their name, no life skills, and no clue on what to do to survive, some at the age of 13.
It is demonic. I’m not strictly against polygamy that happens naturally since many men simply never marry regardless of the social environment, but artificially induced polygamy on the scale of these cults always ends in human sacrifice of their own sons.
Reaaally? Sounds like the kind of thing that’d garner more attention? At any rate, if true, all shades of f*cked up.
Yeah, it is true. The government is not that interested is solving the problem of a bunch of useless men, because men. Getting them the skills to survive would harm women or support the patriarchy somehow, so they get left to suffer.
These cult men are scum. They enhance their own reproductive fitness at the expense of their sons, and then abandon them. They are evil and deserve to be burned at the stake for what they do to their own blood. It would be one thing to seduce loose women and end up with a few extra wives and mistresses. This is wicked.
Completely unrelated, I just found out about a place to hire some grunts at low cost ::sunglasses smiley face::
OK I did some digging and I have to agree. A huge reproductive ponzy scheme.
That John Kingston guy has at least 157 kids! I can’t help but be somewhat impressed, but the hubris that kind of scheme leaves behind… Burn in hell man, burn in hell.
Marrying your second cousin is getting lucky it seems, some are wedded to first cousins or even half-brothers.
What kind of subhuman monster does not celebrate his sons? That poor man in the video was devastated. I know exactly that look on his face. That was a man trying desperately not to cry because he is in terrible pain. Who could call himself a man and still do that to his son?
Also note that Kingston is presumably not supporting those kids from the sweat of his brow (or his wives brows), but is likely to get something from his co-cultists. That makes it basically just a big-man cult, though probably more successful than the new age ones.
What about Joseph Smith himself? Wikipedia lists him as having 28-49 wives (so possibly a bit of playtime for historians) but perhaps one third* of those were of a certain age (say 35+) or outright old (50 or older). I’m guessing they had a principle of marrying off widows and similar rather than letting them stay unattached.
(* I invite some reader to properly count.)
Joseph Smith had no kids with his extra wives. Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball had 60+ each. For the decades polygamy was practiced, only like 2% of the men had extra wives and usually like 5, so in a community of 80k, it wasn’t too noticeable.
I’ve lived where you can see a polyg community from the road and you hear about the boys who leave, but not the girls. The boys leave, instead of being dropped off on the side of the road, because they are not brought up to be a patriarch. So why put up with all the nonsense and authority if you don’t even get a wife? Maybe in Arizona they are dropped off, but if there is a decent sized city to go to, the young men will go on their own.
Hope you’re doing ok, Pax. You still drinking heavy? No judgement here; I lived out of a bottle for 4 years. But I hope you are finding something better to do with the mind God gifted you.
It’s basically ghetto style (or African style) reproduction, though with a couple of twists. When the boy gets old enough to leave his mum, let him fend for himself on the corner, or in the village mob, or in the longhouse.
Capitol riot committee proceedings are under way. Say your prayers and place your bets.
If Trump sets foot in the capital he doesn’t leave.
Seems best if he stays away. Do the interview by video if needed, it’s hardly unknown. But if he does, only with a million man armed (and of course peaceful) bodyguard.
Trump still doesn’t know the score. He’s going to either stay away and be frogged marched by the FBI into DC or he’s going to show up and be charged with lying under oath for telling the truth or some such other bullshit.
Check out this Wagner group video. Pay attention to the imagery and composition:
https://t.me/covidvaccinescam/34168
Blood and Soil Christian Nationalism. Interesting. Explicit references to the Orthodox Church and to the Rus.
Although I am going to ruin it, right now we are 69 comments away from 1,488, lol.
Any translation of the lyrics available?
I found this:
“Bands of war for fire are born
For battles without any idylls
Where, under the cries of Chimeras, conductor Lucifer
Controls the flight of the Valkyries.
So come on, Wagner, play
Raise your orchestra members
Raise with a light stroke of the bow
Our Russian PMC.”
Much appreciated.
I am fond of saying that the war in Ukraine is a holy war, demon worshipers are trying to conquer the world, and you have to bring a a gun to a gunfight, and faith to a holy war.
For Russia to win, Russia has to invoke the power of Christ.
I am not yet seeing Putin invoke the power of Christ. But I now see the Wagner group invoke the power of Christ. https://t.me/covidvaccinescam/34168
Patriarch of Moscow and all Rus’ and Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill has declared that this the holy war that it is, and also declared Putin Holy Emperor appointed by God. (Maybe he is reading this blog, or influenced by someone who is.)
Putin, however, has not decisively spoken the words that would declare memetic sovereignty, which is worrying.
Here’s another video, not Wagner, but just general Russian military:
https://youtu.be/_IcZUI2YZpA
General “cool military” imagery – whole video
Cultural celebration imagery – 01:20
Orthodox imagery – 01:52 (and elsewhere)
Powerful governance imagery – 02:41
Martial religiosity imagery – 03:15
National identity imagery – 03:30
There’s also at least 2 instances of “lady warrior” imagery, which is hard to avoid for white countries these days.
Not the Russian government speaking.
Fair point, but consider how we take the things said by charities, NGOs, news media, entertainment corporations, and companies. They are not USG, but they speak for the Cathedral. The meta-complex that is the Polygon is a hydra. So too is the elite culture of Russia. We paint the Cathedral with a broad brush, and we should, but there is resistance and dissent within the elite ranks. The inverse is the case in Russia, though not to the same degree on either side. Thus, the members of formal government don’t have the latitude of their inverted counterparts in USG.
The Voice of the Cathedral transmits the messaging of the Brain. Initially, they had to do it in very tiny (comparatively) doses. As they consolidated their power, the little bits of feces in the wine barrel become fetid piles of shit, and now it’s mostly waste with barely any wine. Russia is at a much earlier stage of an inverted progression. Thus, they are not free to just cram whatever they wish into the messaging. They let the media content producers include as much or as little as they deem fitting. As they consolidate further, as they extinguish pozzed voices and GAE elements, the messaging can (I believe will) become more explicit.
We are so used to institutions turning on a dime and over saturating memetic transfer that it seems fractured, glacial, or insufficient when we look at Russia. We have discussed Musk time; we are looking at Putin time. If you recalibrate to his clock, things look substantially different. If Putin had launched the SMO in February with a “Gas the demons, holy war now” how popular would that have been with the elites? His deft touch and compassion with the AFU was a tactical blunder, but it’s starting to seem like a strategic master stroke in the war for Russian culture. By next February, he may be able to step in front of the Russian elites with a crown and sword, Patriarch Kiril beside… And there I go, using Musk time. So maybe no imperial restoration any time soon in the Rodina. But Putin is not a Cathedralite and Russia is not the Occident. They, and he, must move at the proper speed for their culture. The hour is late, and we need a Caesar, but as we all know and hate, no one is coming to save us.
Maybe I’m being too optimistic, and maybe you and I are both too hasty and/or impatient. But I choose to believe St. Angling: God has a plan, and He already won; nothing can stop the raids and persecution coming at us; all we must do is tell the truth, choose good over evil, and find and nurture beautiful things.
Here’s another video:
https://t.me/Slavyangrad/14087
Faith that walks the walk.
Here’s another video, but of the other side’s perspective:
https://t.me/Slavyangrad/14050
Putin may not be stating what needs to be stated (I disagree, BTW, that address he made said it all), but the forces of evil see Putin as an avenging fire that needs to be quenched.
This [Huge icons of the Theotokos have appeared in Moscow] may be a start.
The great Cathedral was the start. The icons of the Theotkos are another important step in that direction. Patriarch Kirill doing what this blog says the high priest should be doing is a huge step in that direction.
But Caesar needs to exercise memetic sovereignty. Which Putin is hesitant to do, perhaps because a declaration of memetic sovereignty is likely to result in World War III.
“CNN reports that Elon Musk’s SpaceX has told the US government it can no longer fund Starlink service in Ukraine.”
https://twitter.com/spectatorindex/status/1580707563888181249
Based Department? Did Musk figure out he is next on the chopping block if globohomo wins? I wonder if he has a plan figured out (this might also have something to do with the bluegov investigating his buying of twitter).
The responses are pretty whitepilling TBH. The people whining and crying Russian collusion are being ratio’d and mocked, while many are saying “good” or “make Ukraine pay.”
Musk seems to be figuring out the trajectory and realizing that you can either play hardball or no balls. Now we shall see if the Starman faction is right: does the Pentagon realize how badly they need Elon, and will this need be translated into action on his behalf?
Of all the men in high places, as far as future leadership is concerned for our side, Elon has the most potential. I don’t see him being worked over by the cathedral, and it’s doubtful anyone at Harvard is going to fool him. Short of suicide by gunshot to the back of the head, he has everything he needs to continue building power. Question is what does he really need? And what will he need in the future? If the answer to that ever becomes something like patriarchy, or the things only patriarchy can produce he would have the motive to start taking out the Cathedral elite and progressivism itself.
He seems to be on a trajectory that ultimately collides with the aristocracy.
Related to this? Don’t know if it’s real or not.

What is the cost to build and launch a Starlink satellite? I’ll give a wild ass guess of maybe $10000 per unit. What’s the cost in electricity of a megawatt laser burst or microwave pulse? Maybe $5. It probably doesn’t take more than a couple of satellites getting the magic smoke let out and turned into low earth orbiting bricks to let Mr. Musk know that his commercial business model is non-viable if he keeps it up. Especially after other commercial civilian assets like pipelines and bridges have been attacked. It’s almost too obvious, even more so since Starlink was NOT a non-combatant. It’s like low hanging fruit for the Russians.
In regards to jamming, while I presume it’s difficult to jam the downlink. It would seem pretty trivial to jam the uplink by simply illuminating the satellite(s) with a few kilowatt radar beam(s). Even better with a “Slaver Sunflower” effect. It will blind the satellite to any ground stations in the regional vicinity.
Excellent Larry Niven reference.
Is it a coincidence that Musk started to U-turn on Starlink just after Anatoly Karlin advocated weaponized Kessler Syndrome?
Everyone is assuming Musk just doesn’t want Ukraine to win but maybe he doesn’t want this “side show” destroying all his space plans.
From “We just want to get married” to “We’ll chop off your daughter’s dick and send you to prison” in about ten years.

I’m assuming this is already happening. Family courts are infamous for locking people up on the basis of contempt of court for years.
Speaking of Anglin and women…
https://stormer-daily.rw/victorias-secret-embraces-ugliness-signaling-that-the-porno-age-is-already-over/
THIS is a very good article (there are some minor things I disagree with, I don’t agree that women only have a sex drive at peak ovulation that varies wildly from woman to woman) and says what I’ve long said… we don’t really have a slut problem our women have become something really far worse. This is why I’m pretty blackpilled on American women in general.
Anglin’s other article was over the top but I agree with this one almost completely other than minor details.
Globohomo is trying to turn everyone into a faggot. The high drama, impulsive, consumption driven demon worshiping faggot is their ideal model for everyone.
It is basically the opposite of the patriarch.
Marry and breed the women who do not act like fags.
There is quite possibly some linkage, the trend away from the slutty raver girl era towards being fay ugly overtatted witches started around the time when it became not okay to be against gay marriage.
I honestly cannot remember the last time that a fertile age woman was actively nasty or bitchy towards me in the way that only a childless hag can be. When women act bitchy as a shit test, there’s always a noticeably fun and bratty undercurrent to it.
We should probably distinguish between personal shit tests and generalized ones. When women act self-destructively, it’s a long-term shit test, hoping that a man will come and put a stop to the self destructive behavior. Self destructive behavior signals lack of ownership. It is saying “come and get meâ€. A little bit different from a woman testing the fitness of one specific man by giving him shit.
Anglin is wrong.
Victoria’s secret going ugly is a shit test.
When a woman is unpleasant to you, no fun, the test is “are you so needy and weak that you have to put up with me being unpleasant?”, and it the same when she wants to get a tattoo. “are you so needy and weak that you will allow me to get a tattoo and then put up with a tattooed woman?”.
Victoria’s secret going ugly is a despairing reaction by women to our society’s massive failure to pass its shit tests.
Women need to be hit with a stick and put on a leash, and a part of them wants to be hit with a stick and put on a leash, that being the ancestral environment of reproductive success for women, and they are going to escalate the shit tests until they get what they want.
Well sure all feminism is a collective shit test but the effect is that our women lately have become something far worse than where’s something just in all ways grotesque…
Victoria’s Secret is not a woman, I guarantee it is not even run by women in the final accounting. VS going fat and black is more state enforced holiness, your pattern matching has overheated here.
Yes, but it is holy because women want to shit test us. The left becomes ever more gay, black, and female, and “body positivity” is the left becoming female.
Likely Victoria’s secret is one hundred percent run by straight politically incorrect red pilled men with high libidos – except that they have had a morbidly obese childless female middle aged commissar of Human Resources thrust upon them, who makes sure they hire ugly models in the same way her equivalent in engineering makes sure they hire dumb tech leads.
Yes, you re right, state enforced holiness. But why is holiness heading off in this particular direction? What applecart are they seeking to knock over this time?
This time, they are not after those apples rolling around on the ground. Rather, they hoping that the apple cart owner hits them with a stick and puts them on a leash.
I disagree, unless you want to stretch the shit test concept to all of leftism.
It’s worship of anti-beauty. Fat and black is ugly, therefore it is promoted. Inversion of values. What apples are they after? In this case it is destructive envy. Hatred of the beautiful and well turned out, because they are not so, and a desire to eliminate that reminder and demoralize the spiritual enemy at the same time. I do not see a shit test here, this is not a group of fertile aged women marching around making noise and begging for attention. This is another leftie controlled megacorp pushing the inversion of all that is good, because they hate themselves just as much as they hate you.
This accurately describes modern art and modern architecture. Old buildings were built as temples to God and, more humbly, as homes for the house’s guardian angel. The gods of hearth and home are still quietly around in the Christian era. Modern office buildings are built as temples to demons.
But envy and spite would manifest as hostility to fertile women – which the Covid “vaccine” most certainly was, and child protective services most certainly are. The promotion of ugly models on the other hand is clearly not anger and hostility at pretty models, but anger and hostility at men. Therefore, shit test.
You both make good points. I think Fidelis is closer to the mark, only in that VS doing this is the culmination of a series of clouds of failed shit tests. It is not concatenated shit tests, or just a bunch of shit tests at random, rather it is more like a swarm of shit tests with the majority being failed interacting with a different swarm, also mostly failed, turning into a super cell of failed shit tests that will overwhelm an institution with the net results of they various component failed shit tests.
KD, can you create a meme with Jim bitch slapping Anglin out of his black-pilled views on Women?
I think Jim knows that Victoria’s secret advertising strategy is not a woman but I think Jim is referring to women making themselves grotesque collectively is some kind of shit test.
And I think its both state/psyop/cathedral/globohomo driven AND a shit test. The problem is that them doing this makes things much much worse for men whether they are redpilled or not. Its not like its a minority of women who have gotten this way but the vast majority now.
Wexler, owner of VS, started this trend right when the Epstein story was splashing everyone associated. So perhaps just a little bit self-serving.
Here where I live, the cheap clothing chains had a long period of putting ugly uninspiring or, shall we say, non-standard women in their ads. But now times have gotten a lot worse and the good looking girls are back again.
Obvious shit test is obvious. Anglin not recognizing the shit test for what it is is why he will continue to spew 5000 word black pilled essays on women, whereas I am wrapping up this comment because my soon-to-be-wife is almost done preparing dinner — chicory, ham, grilled cheese and mashed potatoes. It’s not in my top10 favorite dishes she makes, but a good one for sure.
A collective shit test which makes attractive women extremely rare and generally also reclusive is bad news for everyone…
Well yes, obviously it is bad.
Female emancipation was a shit-test we failed, are failing to this day. Everyday we fail it, things get worse.
In the fifties, women were on paper equal to men, and on paper free to express their sexuality, but in practice, not so much. Intergenerational habits are slow to change.
Following the sexual revolution of the sixties/seventies, women were now in practice free to express their sexuality, but still not equal to men. Women in the workplace had men playing the boss — which the women naturally loved.
So, to compete for male attention, the porn era. Women in an arms race to get the attention of men. More skin, more boobs, more sexy.
But then the final unprincipled exception collapses — women become equal to men, in practice. Men lose their dominance, lose their attractiveness. Can no longer grope women in the workplace. Metoo signaled this turning point. And this signaled to the female hindbrain: weak horse.
And so women no longer feel the need to be attractive. They are revolting against the weak horse, uglifying themselves, hoping for a strong horse to take them by the wrist and put an end to the equality. Which is happening now, and is bad news for everyone.
This is a bit meta, but I think Anglin does read here, and has seen your and others’ points, and is, albeit slowly, course correcting. The fact of the matter is that we are in mid-battle, and one of the most dangerous assets the Adversary has is weaponized female evo-psych. While we are somewhat safe here to tease out nuance and make distinctions, particularly you and I as famliy men, Anglin’s method of trench warfare needs things to be black and white to be maximally effective. The enemy is willing and able to take the fact that there are wonderful women raising children and submitting to their husbands, distill that down into An Exception, then use the exception to batter down other rhetorical frameworks.
Not trying to reignite a disagreement, just pointing out that you are doing good, our wives are worth fighting for and defending, and things can get better.
If he reads this blog, clearly does not understand it, or does not want to understand it.
About the meme with Jim He-Bitch-Man-slapping Anglin out of the Blackpill ……..
I don’t make memes, I collect them. I am a no talent hack. By the way, your other post exposed your email address, JSYK.
looked like a fake email, but fixed it nonetheless.
Thanks Alf/KD, of course it was fake. The only thing anyone can do with that is impersonate me on this blog.
As Ben Franklin used to say, neither namefag nor emailfag be.
Anglin analysis is pretty decent for someone who’s black pilled. Certainly better than Voxday. Though his idea of leaving women the right to vote is silly.
We ask, Yandex answers lol.

Everything I hear about Wagner is exactly what I used to think American SOF was. If American ego and hubris weren’t what they are, I think American males would be flocking to join.
If I didn’t have my woman I’d be over there. Hopefully I get a chance to fight a war, ideally after I have grown sons on the right path
Then i take it you dont agree with Paul Craig Roberts here https://www.unz.com/author/paul-craig-roberts/
He says no end of stuff, some of it on the ball, some of it, quite a lot of it, kind of stupid. What points do you have in mind.
Couple points. One that Putin taking it easy on the Ukrainians is bringing us all closer to Armageddon as it just seems to excite the Deep state.
The other that it is also demoralizing his own troops and his own people.
I don’t see how either of those bear on my statement.
Would you want to fight in an Army that takes it easy on an opponent that wishes your destruction?
Putler expects to rule over the region soon. This parallels Cesar’s famous clemency during the civil war.
And it’s always a bad idea…
How did that work out for Cesar? Octavian was 1/10th the general Cesar was, but he was a hard motherfucker on his foes. Men respect strength.
In kléos áphthiton. He won, and his killer is depicted by Dante as being the second worse person in human history next to Judas Iscariot. I sense a weakly help consesnus here that power is almost always from force or implied force behind a narrative game, but remember that Lord Jesus Christ conquered the world after riding into Jerusalem on an ass. There is a time for mercy, though I accept that in the case of Putin and his struggles, it is very arguable as to whether it is that time.
If he expects to rule over Ukraine soon, why did he not take Kiev when he had the chance? I confess I have no idea what Putin’s game plan is.
I hope Paul Craig Roberts is wrong and Putin has an ace up his sleeve, but I fear that PCR may be right. Whatever Putin’s plan, it looks complicated and I don’t like complicated plans. Too many things can go wrong.
When one is to rule, one must be ruthless to your foes. You can always forgive them later, but forgiving before they’re begging for mercy at your feet invites destruction as it’s perceived as weakness.
Jesus never forgave the Pharisees and he treated them with utter contempt and scorn. He isn’t a pussy.
Not really a soldier’s business how his leader is conducting the war. Seems like Putin is taking it easy for his own troops, not the Ukrainians. RU is winning. Could it have done better? Maybe. Doesn’t bear on my wanting to fight for it.
Maybe fighting a slow war is bad for morale. Retreating is bad for morale, but on the other hand, blowing up lots of tanks is good for morale. I don’t know how Russian morale is doing. Liars in my media tell me it is awful, mutiny any day now for the last 6 months, but I don’t believe them.
Maybe exciting the deep state is the point. Russia is not just attriting Ukraine. Russia gets to blow up NATO’s best toys and degrade its ability to wage war. If Russia went too hard at the beginning, it might have found itself ruling over a desolate Ukraine with no gas and no electricity, and having to defend it against Poland and the US. Question is not if NATO intervenes directly, it is when.
When Reagan was running in the primaries for the Republican presidential nomination, he told us his plan for defeating the Soviet Union was to exhaust their logistic capability by bogging them down in a hundred small forever wars. (I paraphrase, he used more folksy and humane language)
That worked.
So the Global American Empire’s plan for defeating Putin’s Russia is to exhaust their logistic capacity with forever war in the Ukraine.
Surprise!
It is Global American Empire logistics that are failing.
I have read a pile of stuff that Reagan allegedly wrote in his own hand (Reagan’s enemies attribute intelligent writings to ghostwriters.) He figured that Soviet logistics would fail because socialist.
Seems the current Global American Empire leadership is too dumb to understand that point.
Putin is destroying electricity all over Ukraine. He is crippling their industrial sector. Ukraine is losing a massive amount of territory and people. When this is all said and done, the ruthlessness of Putin is going to be quite evident. He will leave behind a crippled, ruined state. An example of what happens if you fuck with Russia.
Indeed. The change in tactics is very positive.
Sounds like they’re digging in for a major defensive battle without plans to retreat right now. They’ll lose more troops than they were in the recent fallback attrition defenses but morale will be much higher for taking a stand and only giving ground after grinding their foe down.
Russians are planning retreat in the Kherson area.
Strategy is to let Ukraine hurl troops into the meatgrinder. Global American Empire is drinking its own koolaide about the state of Russian forces.
Retreating will lower morale, but casualties really lower morale. Russians intend to deal with this Ukrainian offensive with as few casualties as possible, and when Ukraine has burned through its remaining fresh troops, then launch a Russian offensive.
Push/Pull.
If you are retreating to spring a trap its generally best to encircle and annihilate and not aim for attrition…
This strategy seems similar to what von Falkenhayn attempted at Verdun.
Unless, of course, Putin decides to use nuclear weapons in an attempt to change the conflict into a war of movement.
I predict that the Russians are going to soak up the Ukrainian offensive, yielding considerable ground in the process, and then, when it runs out of puff, then launch an offensive aimed at cutting Ukraine off from the sea. If the Ukrainians manage to occupy Kherson, Russia might well nuke it, but they will endeavor to not let the Ukrainians take Kherson. The decision to provide for permanent new homes for the population of Kherson may indicate that nuking it is on the table.
Yielding ground is fine for attrition, yielding cites without a fight when they the know the Azoz pigs will pile Russian children into mass graves is the issue. Russia shows every sign of preparing to turn Kherson into a nasty meat-grinder. Getting the civilians out is a very good sign. Gives the Russian lots of options and no morale loss if they decide to pull back after kicking the shit out of the Ukrainians.
I would be surprised if they nuke Kherson, but that’s a good point.
Ideologically driven private military groups seem to be the up and coming thing. Regular military units just can’t cut it these days.
An army needs a faith. No faith, no army.
Goes double in a holy war, of course.
[*deleted*]
This confirms that the government gives a pardon to men fighting for Wagner.
Why is the government doing Wagner’s recruiting? Why does the government not give the pardon to men fighting in Russia’s army?
Because the Wagner Group gives the Russian government deniability. I’ve heard the WG were the little green men who took over Crimea. Also they’ve proven far more effective that regular Russian military units because they have faith. When you have an effective military group that’s out performing your normal units, best to fully support it.
Wagner is a “Private” Military Corporation like the Open Society foundation is a “Non-Governmental” Organization.
This. I posted a video with a window into the training they are providing. Wagner, and the OG Blackwater before the State Department converged it, not only provided a layer of deniability, they had space to have exacting and consistent standards. Everyone that “applies” does so at will, and there is little to no civil oversight. Eddie Gallagher would have been protected and celebrated if he had operated with a PMC instead of getting mocked, defamed, and railroaded by a bunch of pussy faggot zoomers.
Wagner has a social media presence, you can look up what they say. One thing I recall is a commitment to only field trained and capable units, no conscripts or shirkers or morons.
Eddie Gallagher. I read a good bit about him. He is undoubtedly a psychopath. Now these animals, I mean that literally, they are like the difference between a dog and a wolf. The dog is a companion with empathy and trainable, the wolf is an animal. Spaths are great for attack positions but not for much else. There are articles for officers on how to handle them so they do not commit atrocities. Like he was doing. The guy knifed a prisoner under control. They didn’t charge him with a lot of stuff he did because it would make the military look so evil that they let it go on so long. He was spending enormous amounts of time in towers shooting little girls and old Men. Other officers had to go on patrol with him because his missions he designed were set up to make it likely he would get them in firefights. Now this is all fine and good if that’s your mission, BUT, that was not their mission. Their mission was to train the local soldiers and not go around shooting little girls and old men and getting into firefights. They had a very small contingent of men and were not in any shape to start a small local war. There were numerous complaints about his behavior and they continued allowing him to basically murder people for no reason until finally they had enough complaints they had to act.
I have no idea why, but some people seem to totally ignore what he did because he was some shoot them up Seal. All the while ignoring the many, many Seals who said he was jeopardizing their mission. Get this, he was randomly murdering people, as many as he could, he said verbally to others this was his goal, and these guys were basically behind enemy lines. If the locals had gotten riled up enough they would have all been killed, completely wasting the mission and the men, and he was making that a likely eventuality. The last thing you want to do in a precarious position is a lot of atrocities on little girls and old Men. And stuff like, people surrendering then have him knife them just so he can get his jollies watching them bleed out.
If you don’t get any of this, realize that he was jeopardizing the mission they were tasked for. I don’t care how well he was at killing people before, making him big hero, he was actively destroying the capability of them to carry out their mission.
Nuts
Our government demonizes warriors. Possibly some of the people they accused of this stuff were guilty, but it is completely obvious that the vast majority were innocent.
If there are any of them that are guilty, the water has been so thoroughly muddied with hateful evil lies that it is impossible to know.
>He was spending enormous amounts of time in towers shooting little girls and old Men.
The main “crime” Gallagher was accused of, wrongfully killing the ISIS fighter, was completely fabricated. Other than breaking regulation by taking a picture where he posed with a dead body, there was no evidence of anything else. All allegations only came out AFTER Gallagher negatively eval certain members of the team.
>The guy knifed a prisoner under control.
They had no logistical ability to take prisoners. The Iraqi forces made it clear they would not be taking prisoner. The ISIS fighter had suffered multiple mortal wounds that were completely terminal without medical treatment that he had no chance of getting due to logistical constraints. It was likely terminal even with proper medical treatment. Gallagher decided it would be a good idea to carry out standard medical procedures on the ISIS fighter to keep him alive as long as possible anyways… for practice. In hindsight he should of just let the bastard bleed out and die.
That is not a “war crime.” In order to treat extensive lung damage, he performed a cric. This is done by cutting open a hole in the throat and sticking a tube in. This is where allegations of knifing come from. This did not kill the ISIS fighter and in fact kept him alive far longer than otherwise would have happened.
>He is undoubtedly a psychopath
Psychopathy shares many traits that are highly correlated with heroism. You’re getting confused by the similarities. Moreover, war brings out a certain mindset and dark humor that to those on the outside looks like psychopathy. Most men enjoy fighting and bravado is often used to deal with stress.
>I have no idea why, but some people seem to totally ignore what he did
It was a war. Kill the enemy, kill the enemy, kill the enemy! No one is ignoring what he allegedly did. Quite the opposite. Those familiar with what war demands were the ones begging for clemency.
BTW if they had handled this properly at the beginning when he was up in towers and told him he was going to be shipped out if he did any more atrocities then it likely would have ended there. That’s the way that is proscribed to handle them. They don’t want to go back and be bored, so they control themselves. If they don’t you ship them out.
Jim, on the topic of blockchain scalability and privacy, I found these projects interesting:
Mina Protocol, claims they are building an L1 using recursive zk proofs to achieve scalability and privacy, 22kb fixed size blockchain.
https://minaprotocol.com/
https://github.com/MinaProtocol
Nillion, decentralized off-chain secure computation.
https://www.nillion.com/
This claims to be exactly what I wanted, rolling.
Of course I have seen no end of stuff that claims to be exactly what I wanted, rolling, but it is now possible to deliver.
I made an attempt to look into it, but found holes in my infrastructure, which I am now fixing. When I fix my issues, will be in a better position to address it.
A fixed sized blockchain only makes sense if it is a proof for an unlimited amount of information, offchain.
Which is easy enough with recursive snarks, but on the face of it, there are certain issues in combining open entry with fixed size. The fixed size solutions that I understand have a certain amount of hidden centralization. But then, I am sure to encounter piles of stuff I do not yet understand.
Checked out Nillion. It is a scam decorated with random magic tech words. Mina, however, might be the real thing. Harder to check out.
Nillion claims to magically solve problems which are known hard. If someone had a solution for those problems, I would have heard. And if someone genuinely made a breakthrough, they would not describe the breakthrough with a random spray of buzzwords.
But Mina claims to do stuff which is plausibly feasible given recursive snarks.
The higher interest rates right now are not deflationary. In the past, in Volcker’s time, they were. In the past, high interest rates were a result of the Fed sucking up money from the banking system, resulting in increased competition for the funds that remained (thus, a higher interest rate).
Right now, because of a lot of QE, the way interest rates are raised is just that the Fed pays it out of thin air (the technical term for this is “reverse repo†and “interest on excess reserves†but it is just that, printing money out of air) This was not previously the case. The situation right now is that the government is paying people to not spend their money, which is not a tenable solution to inflation for reasons that should be obvious.
Inflation will persist until and unless the government stops spending so much money. Rates do not have much to do with it.
Yes high interest rates will actually be long term inflationary because of the need to service massive government debt…
That’s not exactly why. That would lead the government into a debt spiral, forcing them to either raise taxes (which won’t work, we are well over the Laffer limit) or cut spending. The bigger reason is, unlike ever before, the interest being paid is being conjured out of thin air. I am not even sure they realize what is happening here: they are paying people not to spend money with money they are printing.
If the government had to borrow the money they are paying, then the story might be different. But it doesn’t
the way the fed works is every dollar it prints goes out as loans though… there is an exemption for coins but they haven’t done the trillion dollar coin thing.
Sure but the Feds are paying interest to itself on the loan.
They may be paying the interest to themselves, but they’re charging Joe Taxpayer to garner that payment to pay themselves with.
They’re effectively killing most of the economy in favor of printing to keep .gov going, much as Germany did in the 20s. To stop the cycle they’d need to fire about 2/3s of the government work force. That’s not happening so it’s going to be hyperinflation to the moon.
Interest rates are not high right now, they are extremely low. In real terms – which is what matters – they are well below zero.
Volcker raised interest rates to 22% nominal, compared to ~15% official inflation.
Exactly so. And back then actual inflation was only a little bit higher than official inflation.
Today, actual inflation is enormously higher than official inflation, so probably would need to raise interest rates to fifty percent or so.
Which would work for a while, but pretty soon people would start to wonder if the US government could pay off its debts.
[*deleted*]
I am not interested in the ever more complicated financial plumbing that grows ever more detached from reality.
The US dollar is long overdue for collapse and disappearance, but markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
But the strange delay in the collapse of the US dollar gives us more time to get a good replacement ready.
It’s not so strange. It’s collapsing as anticipated, and following a pattern laid out by less insane financialists and traders. First to go are weaker fiat currencies, as global confidence in the financial system falters. This is happening now. Next we get an unexpected dollar boom, as all the weaker fiat currencies collapse there is a rush to secure their books with USD. Then we get the real split, as the USD is worthless and cannot be traded for anything since manufacturing is being thoroughly exterminated, and a global economic realignment that is happening slowly now, accelerates and happens catastrophically fast. Then no one wants dollars anymore, because they have finally caught up to reality, and all those dollars backing the books all over the world just get dumped back into the US system, causing the hyperinflation everyone is not so patiently waiting for.
Wow. I’d been wondering what was going on. This puts all the pieces together.
I am wondering if anyone here knows much about this situation
https://twitter.com/jordanschnyc/status/1580889341265469440
Apparently the latest round of sanctions on the yellow people is particularly brutal for the human capital of their chipmaking industry. It’s hard to separate the self congratulatory propaganda element from the actual impact this may have. Perhaps someone else has better insight.
I may be in a bubble, probably am, but pretty sure the Biden administration has shot itself in the foot again.
The effect of this sanction is that Americans working in China must leave China or lose US citizenship.
My impression, based on a very small and not necessarily representative sample, is that American engineers in China consider the US the doomed evil empire and believe that should they return to America, they will find Shaniqua is tech lead.
My impression is that everyone outside the state apparatus only wants to make money and get the fuck out of the middle kingdom. I have less connections to western engineers in the yellow empite, but I would conjecture that they would not want to be stuck with that citizenship alone, despite viewing the GAE for what it is.
If this is real and true, I place odds on the engineers just taking the loss and making plans to retire in some small, friendly, out of the way country.
We shall see.
I would guess about a quarter to a third will depart China, but I could well be wildly wrong. As I said, might be in a bubble here.
There is also the option of pro forma compliance – how does the Biden government know where an engineer is working? Just do a stopover in Vietnam, Hong Kong, or Korea.
or Taiwan!
That is exactly the point. If your IQ is over 135, there is a dire shortage of economic opportunity in the US. Also, dire shortage of good pussy.
I’m in fact talking about the well to do Han themselves, who seemingly all want to leave the second they’ve made a retirement fund. The yellow empire has a particularly thick cloud of prewar propaganda so I do not place high odds on my perception being accurate, but that is my perception. The rich want out before some bureaucrat or his cousin steals — sorry, “Nationalizes” — their stuff.
Attempts to re-institute Marxism is making is making the prospect of long term Capitalism dangerous in China. Forces people to think short term.
Your perception is completely accurate. But it does not follow that smart people who are still making their retirement fund are going to leave China for a place where being smart is not financially rewarded, where on the contrary being smarter than average is going to get you in trouble for not being a team player, thinking you are always right, failing to compromise with people who think two plus two equals six by compromising on five, and not trusting the science.
It would not follow if we were in a stable geopolitical situation, where it could reasonably be anticipated that you would not be subject to scrutiny by party members, possibility of indefinite detention and house arrest, and any other insanity yet to emerge from the yellow empire. These engineers have to believe that there is a high likelihood of being allowed to leave with their retirement fund, or desire to reside in the middle kingdom indefinitely. I am not so sure, but, as you say, we shall see.
“These engineers have to believe that there is a high likelihood of being allowed to leave with their retirement fund, or desire to reside in the middle kingdom indefinitely”
You are speaking as if they have a choice. You either deal with Shaniqua or Ching the choice is yours.
Not only engineers

“Up to 30 former Royal Air Force pilots may have gone to China to train members of the People’s Liberation Army of China. The BBC reported some earned financial packages up to $270,000.”
Some people are noticing and issuing warning
“This has prompted Britain to consider changing its laws to criminalize former personnel taking up contracts to train members of certain foreign militaries.”

If this is the blow the thread claims it to be, then there will be a commensurate move by Xi’s regime. What is something China could do that would be equivalent, which is to say what move could paralyze a critical American industry or field.
Core GAE is not a toothless beast, and if “we” keep assuming they are powerless, “we” run the risk of getting surprised in inconvenient and destabilizing ways. That being said, the Biden regime has been very short sighted in 2022, making bold moves that can’t be walked back, then stepping in piles of their own creation.
The thread announces the Americans working in Chinese tech have all resigned and left. As of the present moment, seemingly zero have resigned and left. Perhaps in the near future a great many will resign and return to an America where there are no jobs for smart men, and no women for good men. We shall see.
The announcement that China is reeling right now is premature. Perhaps they will be reeling in future. We shall see.
Given how Christianity played a large role in European Supremacy. What should be made of the fall of the largely Orthodox Eastern Roman Empire to the Muslim Armies?
Why did Christian lands in North Africa, Egypt, Levant and in Asia Minor fall and remain to this day in Muslim hands and not Western Christian Europe?
The fall of Egypt was due to heresy. Fall of the Byzantine Empire due to wickedness. There is a reason why the “Byzantine Generals problem” is so called.
The fall is a bit complex and Jim’s answer is a good summery of the reasons why.
The reason it it wasn’t reconquered is the total lack of value of the area after the Arabs, Mongols, and Turks got done destroying the infrastructure and mongalizing the people. Islam turned out to be worthless at anything besides war and trade and as their Christian population declined so did their ability to build cities, tech, and infrastructure.
@Red
In that case Islam to ensure their hold over their region could simply do this:
That way Christian lands can perpetually shrink but never expand. But the only ones right now converting Muslims is Jesus himself appearing in Visions to Muslims to bring them to faith:

And Christian Missionaries.
@Jim
Why did the core territories of Orthodoxy fail in Righteousness in comparison to western Europe?
Does that entail that Christianity needs Barbarization as it is in Western Europe to survive as a Civilization?
The holy Roman empire was an elective monarchy, where a small number of Kings elected the emperor for life or good conduct. (And normally elected the eldest son of the previous emperor)
Succession in the Byzantine empire was irregular and apt to be violent. Constantine attempted hereditary succession, which sort of worked some of the time, but it never stuck securely.
The authority of the Byzantine emperor was far more absolute than the authority of the Holy Roman Emperor. I think that destabilized the system – the Byzantine emperor had more power than a mortal can handle. See my discussion “Throne, Altar, and freehold“.
@jim
Interesting that Divine Providence doesn’t tolerate Centralization of Authority like in the Byzantine Emperor well in the long term in Christian Civilizations. Muslim pressures ensured that the problems of Centralized Government are far less likely to survive the onslaught.
I suspect that God allowed Islam to keep Christian Europe on its toes and sharp.
But China alone it seems managed it and maintained it despite manifold invasions from the North. With the Bureaucrats making themselves useful to their new Rulers until their overthrow and massacre. The Civil Service Examinations still remained as did the entire Bureaucracy.
Even with the revolutions in the 20th Century. A similar system of rule remained. With Xi becoming more Imperial in his Rule.
@Red
Agreed. This is why our Lord Jesus pays a personal visit to all those Muslims in their dreams. And direct them to local Christians to help them learn the faith. I posted a video about this. Its not long. I recommend you watch it.
Then they convert to Christianity.
How can Christians convert Muslims when Muslims out breed Christens 3 to 1? Most Christians I know are like you, blue pilled on women and have very few children because of it. My very Christian Brother screeches like sun light on a vampire when I point out Paul’s commandments on women or the general behavior of women.
No one is going to give up a patriarchal religion like Islam where you can still get a virgin wife for a debased Christianity.
Of course, no one will give up anything for a debased Christianity. Debased Christianity is heresy and repulsive
Patriarchal Christianity is attractive. While it is illegal it is hidden. As soon as it is no longer illegal, it will spread visibly.
Christ of the Gospels is a based chad. For some reason Christianity has been portrayed in public as a cuddle blanket for cucks, and therefore attracts that demographic. It’s unfortunate. But the Gospels are full of chadly zingers, and if anyone started using them they would make a lot of converts.
Which are the top one or two chadly-est zinger in your view, that stand out as representative to you?
Personal favorite of mine is Matthew 21 where He tells the chief priests that prostitutes and tax collectors will enter heaven before they do.
“A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work today in my vineyard. [29] And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went. [30] And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not.
[31] Which of the two did the father’s will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you.”
Michael Franzese said that when he became a Christian he never could have done it if Jesus didn’t seem like a man’s man but when he read the gospels he did.
No wife and no kids. Also if I remember correctly Paul states that it is best to stay celibate. Kind of odd both of those.
The bible is full of contradictions. And Paul is full of contradictions – which are obviously deliberate. If you grab one end of a contradiction and run with it at the expense of the other end, you will inevitably fall into heresy. Paul said it is best to say celibate. But he also said the priesthood should be recruited from married men with well behaved children.
And, similarly on obedience to laws, magistrates, and Kings.
It makes sense spiritually. If you are whole, as in no desire, you don’t need anything. Don’t need to eat, sleep, have sex etc. But temptation and desire is what moves us forward. We are compelled to satisfy our desires, even the most disciplined. Obviously Jesus was not, and Paul understood this.
I believe they are not so much contradictions but Paradoxes.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/paradox
For if the Holy Spirit inspired all that is written then there is no actual contradiction in my opinion.
The Trinity is an apparent contradiction but its like trying to see a 3D object from a 2D person. So it looks like a contradiction.
Its those who cannot grasp the 3D nature of what is being said and instead going with the 2D apparent representation that heresy results.
Its like seeing a representation of a cube on a flat page and concluding that its actually not a representation of a cube at all.
I think in that sense the Holy Spirit being in the Christian better helps us to comprehend the full truth in all its dimensions that make sense of all Paradox.

Jesus says that a man should take a wife and be strictly monogamous for life, against the Jewish tradition of no-fault divorce:
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
He says there are exceptions, of “eunuchs”:
11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
The plainest reading of this would be that you do not need to marry if you are going to dedicate your life to god. Although, also does not strictly command those who dedicate their lives to go not to marry.
You’re wrong when you claim that Muslims outbreed Christians 3 to 1. Not even true comparing countries to each other, and certainly not true within countries. The only place this is true is in Afghanistan, everywhere else it’s Muslims outbreeding Christians 1.5 to 1, 1.2 1, 1.1 to 1, or not outbreeding them at all.
Islam is debased in most places in the world. That’s the whole point of ISIS and the wannabe terroist/ ISIS type groups, all or most which are failing.
This is an interesting point. 1.5:1 is still scary when one views things from the historical context and/or in terms of generations (20 years) as the base unit of measure, but it still throws some cold water on both the triumphalists and the doomers.
Another angle that gets lost is the objective fact that Islam is being actively converged in many places. When it was a question of painting Islam as a threat (a necessary task, BTW), you often heard Sam Harris and others point out that 1-5% (the extremists), 5-15% (the extreme), and 15-20% (the orthodox) all had to be proportionally represented out of ~1 billion, which was to say that there were an awful lot of hardline Muslims and an even bigger crowd quietly or loudly supporting them. But there are also a huge amount of pozzed Muslims, particularly in the West, who were being actively deployed to converge that faith. Of course, Islam is way better at rewarding traitors with what they deserve, at least in their strongholds, but the fact remains that no faith has really been up to the task of successfully countering Cathedral convergence, and many of the potential examples of such are actually just browns being allowed more privileges to stick it to white male Christians (as we thoroughly discussed with the trans-warrior a couple weeks ago).
Europe will be a big test case. The ardent Muslims on the Continent are all first generation migrants, and very naturally alien. The subsequent generations will demonstrate how susceptible they are to the pozz. I personally think they will do very well against it where they are able to establish parallel institutions, but anywhere the hoodwink parents into sending kids to university, not so much. Islam’s successes in countering convergence, where they occur, are a strong proof of Jimian Christianity’s assertion that the WQ id The Question, and all else is downstream. If women are kept under control, tradition and culture persist and thrive.
You’re correct. I last checked the numbers a long time ago. Sounds like Islam is being converged just as the Christians have been.

Does Putin have a gore folder? Does he shitpoast on /pol/? I’m not saying this scenario is impossible, but the coloration filled in around the logical assertions makes it seem a bit silly. It does appear the Kremlin keeps expecting the “adults in the room” in the US to make logical decisions after studied assessment. I don’t understand how Russians can be this naive.
I did a fact finding mission on /k/ in an attempt to understand why they are so long on UKR victory, and the most repeated reasoning was that the Russian army is broken, the Ukrainian army is incredibly skilled, and the NATO weaponry is wunderwaffen. With the exception of Ritter, Macgregor, and Mearsheimer, this seems to be the baseline assumption of all Occidental analysis.
/k/ became fucking unreadable after the war broke out, highest shill activity I’ve ever seen and it was already overrun with them
4chan’s /k/ was always shit. 8ch’s one was much better but it’s dead now, and the survivors are still basically weird geniuses in their current holdout.
My model of the US government is that it is full of idiots and madmen, none of whom pay they slightest attention to the likely consequences for America and the world of their decisions, but only what the impact will be in the next meeting, that absolutely no one in the US government would bother thinking through this clever reasoning nor would understand nor care about this clever rationale. When contemplating a course of action they do not think “How will Putin respond”, let alone “How is this going to look from Moscow”. They think “How is this going to look at the meeting coming up in fifteen minutes”, knowing that absolutely no one else at the meeting is going to ask “how will this look from Moscow” either.
A peaceful resolution of this war requires an agreement capable US government. Since not agreement capable, likely to go nuclear.
The USG is insane collectively which better explains their behavior than anything else. Like most insanity it tends of follow patterns and one them is suicide. The USG wants it to happen because they want to die but they want to die feeling morally superior. The last few years are more akin to a suicide note summed up as “To everyone I know, this is all your fault.”
They’re willing to take any ends to the pain but instead of a body wafting from the ceiling fan they envision their irradiated corpse wearing pictured on Instagram as the epithet.
Nuclear war is enemy propaganda. A word enshrined via a thousand works of fiction in the minds of boomers to equate with the end of all things. Their material existence, the ultimate expression of one’s boomer self, must end with the end of all things. A poetic and solipsistic punctuation mark to their existence.
It’s total nonsense. It relies on the proposition the Russians believe they can break Western will by killing Ukrainians. The entire point of proxy wars is expending locals instead of your own people. This isn’t an alien concept to the Russians since they are keeping casualties lower by using DPR and LPR troops instead of men from the Russian army.
If the Russians want to threaten the west with the possibility of nuclear war, they’ll publically test a nuclear bomb.
Most of that article consists of what a couple of NATO faggots shit out after a night of meth and aids infested dick sucking.
But they let something slip that I’ve been warning about:
The few men in American “leadership” warning against nuclear war continue to be proven wrong when Russia doesn’t really hit back that hard. Now they’re generally shutting up and the pro nuke Russia crowd seems to be dominate because Russia won’t strike back! I get why Russia isn’t doing so, they’re busy attriting the Ukraine and NATO to death rather than trying to escalate tit for tat. But to play this game they need to go big by retaliating in a very disproportionate manner. The recent strikes on the power grid is a good start, but they need to both keep it up and generally wreak Ukraine’s infrastructure too. That requires a sustained campaign.
I’m still shocked at how soft Putin’s been on the Ukraine. Blowing up their power grid and general infrastructure should have happened right after the initial coup de main failed.

Kyle Rittenhouse critiques memes related to his trial and exchanges good-natured bants with his interviewer. Very enjoyable and morale-boosting.
Currently rereading C.S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity and this passage in book 3, chapter 7 lent understanding to what I found refreshing about the above video:
“The idea of the knight-the Christian in arms for the defence of a good cause-is one of the great Christian ideas. War is a dreadful thing, and I can respect an honest pacifist, though I think he is entirely mistaken. What I cannot understand is this sort of semi-pacifism you get nowadays which gives people the idea that though you have to fight, you ought to do it with a long face and as if you were ashamed of it. It is that feeling that robs lots of magnificent young Christians in the Services of something they have a right to, something which is the natural accompaniment of courage-a kind of gaiety and wholeheartedness.
“I have often thought to myself how it would have been if, when I served in the First World War, I and some young German had killed each other simultaneously and found ourselves together a moment after death. I cannot imagine that either of us would have felt any resentment or even any embarrassment. I think we might have laughed over it.”
Seeing Kyle in fellowship, smiling and joking about the dire situation he went through is heartening as it should be.
Rittenhouse is so awkward and unrefined, unable to ignore the physical camera as well as metaphorical “millions” the camera implies. It’s actually quite refreshing, because it gives the impression his far outside his element, inhabiting a world he never even dreamed of. If you spend enough time pointing cameras at people, you can sense who has just been waiting their whole life to be “seen” and who is fully self-possessed and totally unprepared for the moment. This is why I never trust clean and snappy “man on the street” interviews where the subject is coherent, on message, and comfortable. Most people who are unprepared are really rough on camera, cracking lame jokes, moving awkwardly, and unable to figure out if they should keep their eye line on the camera or the interviewer. Another area this is really apparent is in pornography; you can tell who is at the beginning of their descent into hell and who has Satan’s phone number tattooed on their asshole by their interaction with the camera. I bring up the porno angle not to be crass, but to draw a parallel to the spokesfaggots from the Parkland school shooting. If you go back and watch those interviews, they are very calm, they know what to do with their hands and bodies, they keep a good eyeline, looking into the camera to deliver The Message and looking at the interviewer to deliver the sense of “I am totally a normal human.” The contrast is quite stark: the dumb college slut ruining her life and the numb, jaded cum dumpster punching a clock.
I think the Elon’s recent talk about stopping starlink in Ukraine is about the FAA launch license. They still haven’t issued it after 6 or so months.
FAA cleared SpaceX to launch they just said they have to give away millions of goodies to state parks, environment, education etc. But they have the right to launch now
“Sure, you can launch your white male oppression device, you just need pay this small fee, and donate this inconsequential thing, and do this little task, and then you are cleared to apply for a permit to renew the exemption for the waiver to annul the compliance bypass, which is required for the bypass compliance waiver exemption renewal permit, then you can apply for review by the board of review board reviews, which, assuming your paperwork is in order and correctly filled out and packaged together with the incorrectly filled out packet for opposite application review, you will be well on your way to the application review application hearing, wherein you must validate all prior applications, submissions, reviews, requests, waivers, annulments, hearings, and audits to confirm compliance with the projected rules for FY 2026 pre-retro-active climate compliance rules. After that’s all taken care of, and the first 3 years of the 6 month equity compliance waiting period has begun, we can begin the Equity/Climate/Diversity audit, a necessary step on the path towards… towards… ah, yes, that’s right… on the path towards doing something or other for NASA. It’s all very exciting, honestly, I’ve never seen the process move so fast, you must have friends in all the right places!”
Musk actually does have friends in all the right places. Also enemies.
But I suspect those friends are going to lose, and eventually be killed, unless they realize that they have superior capability to kill their enemies, and need to deploy that capability before their enemies do.
Once a Republic’s elections lose credibility, every issue is a power struggle, and there is only one way to resolve a power struggle.
Power struggles within the former American Republic will eventually turn lethal – have already turned lethal, notice the remarkable suicide and disappearance rate among people connected to the Clintons, Will turn more lethal. Winner will be the man who realizes it and does not muck around.
Been noticing this more and more. And with me, no doubt others, too.
But no one wants to notice it. It’s like looking into a black void. You step in, there’s no going back… So everyone is trying to look away as long as possible.
Which is perhaps why evil people so often thrive in such unclear times. Very happy we also have a belief system for good people to act with murderous intent.
And that was kind of the point of my long-winded joke: he’s doing phenomenally well within the confines of the reality deployed by the Polygon, which is to say he is failing, just a bit slower than the others.
I think the next big escalation is when Musk starts getting supporters-as-vassals from petro/chemical industry, heavy industry, freight shipping, etc. If he were to establish some kind of coalition that shares lawyers, policy analysts, and lobbyists with the intent of playing “by the book,” this would be a redoubt for dissenter elites. Ostensibly, it would just be yet another advocacy organization, but in reality, it would be his proto-“small council,” or Shadow Court. Pride and shortsightedness may preclude such an occurrence, of course, but at some point, the elites with the most to lose are going to have to see where this is all headed.
I’m disenchanted with the entire “war” at least from our perspective. It’s clear by now that the only reason the US is sending billions over there is to launder taxpayer dollars into kickbacks.
Its both robbing the taxpayers and murdering Christians. If it was just about stealing money, the US would resemble the joke
‘A Chinese politician and an African politician are walking next to a river…
The Chinese points to a bridge and says,
“See that bridge? I campaigned for that bridge, chose the construction company, and even arranged for the funds for it to be built.” The Chinese then pats his pocket and says, “Of course I took a portion off the top for myself.” and the two men laugh.
Later the Chinese politician and African politician are walking along a river in Africa, the African points across the river and says, “See that bridge? I campaigned for that bridge, chose the construction company, and even arranged for the funds for it to be built.”
The Chinese looks across the river, then looks at the African and says, “What bridge? I don’t see any bridge.”
The African politician pats his pocket and laughs.
Bald-faced insanity. They desperately want to win. This isn’t about stealing a measly billion dollars.
With the mid terms coming up in about 3 weeks I’m going to vote just a straight R ticket. I expect them to rig the fuck out of the midterms just like they did with the abortion vote in Kansas, but the more last minute votes they have to print up, the less legitimacy they’ll have. I expect them to be even sloppier about it than they were in 2020.
@Red
Voting straight R too. If Satan ran as GOP, I will vote for Satan, because the nigger democrat party is the Greater Satan.
I give it a 50/50 chance of rigging being successful.
The GAE USG is now beginning to be met with physical military violence from Russia and China. So there might be some self-preservation instincts to avoid opening an internal front in this emerging WWIII.
But also, kikes, wine-aunts, and nigger faggots run much of ZOG, and are not noted for imagining the future beyond 15 seconds.
The most effective weapon on the internal front against the jew and the wine aunt of the system has been the Great Resignation
https://gab.com/kingofallnads/posts/109173519123866300
I’m straight voting R because I’m in Florida and in Florida the elections aren’t rigged in fact they probably are as clean as they’ve ever been. If I were in Georgia otoh I’d probably stay home.
The bad thing is I have to vote for that literal faggot cokehead cabana boy Marco Rubio.
How in any way is it defensible to support the outer party enabling influence, particularly him? You can’t plead ignorance, of his evil or the larger dynamic of uniparty mechanics. The single most deleterious factor facing conservatism, honesty, and restoration is the right wingers stubbornly refusing to accept that it is there participation that keeps the farce believable. The game is completely rigged, the refs are on the take, the opposing team follows no rules, and the only thing stopping the fans from burning down the stadium or disengaging completely is that the opposing team trudges out on the field for the millionth time, expecting a different result.
If every R withdrew, resigned, and stepped away, the uniparty would collapse overnight. If all right wingers stopped participating, it would take slightly longer but have the same result. I do not understand how anyone from this blog could continue to validate the artifice of feauxmocracy.
Nah they would just pass the build back 100x times better (for 100 trillion dollars) and mandatory gay sex and tranny draft act,
The Democrats had planned to abolish the GOP as soon as possible sometime in Obamas 2nd term anyway.
…so what happened? Why didn’t they abolish it?
they aren’t drafting random people for mandatory trannyism.. yet.
They needed the GOP to get rid of Trump. After which they returned to their normal programming that all Republicans are traitors and need to die.
This election is shaping up well, the Democrats are massively unpopular as the party of inflation, crime, and economic collapse. They have 3 choices: boldly rig it and thus destroy faith in Democracy and their legitimacy, false flag it/arrest trump and claim that swung the election when they rig it, or let the GOP win it.
Option 3 is very unpalatable despite the obvious tactical need for it. They would have to admit that the inner party’s policies are not popular and give up for now on eliminating the GOP.
I think they’ll go with option 1 or 2.
You need a straw man to strawman people. They talk about obliterating the RNC because it riles up the urban welfare queens and college kids, but, again, a uniparty structure requires both inner and outer parties to work.
The radical wing of the Democrats wants a single party state, as all radical socialists, communists, marxists, etc do. As the Octogenarian Faction departs, there may be a explicit shift to a single party system. But what is the supporting evidence that the Obama Regime and the DNC actually had a plan to eliminate the RNC?
When someone tells me they want to murder me, I believe them. When 10,000 voices all connected to one megaphone tells me the GOP are terrorists and should all be arrested, I believe them.
Go read /r/politics on reddit for a taste of what those Megaphones are saying. You won’t find a lick of difference between those shills and the shill message being spread all over the net for Dem consumption.
Why would they need to rile them up?
They used to think that hyper inflating the currency was a bad idea, but now they’ve discovered that it’s good progressive thing. They’ve decided the same is true about about getting rid of the outer party. It’s a very bad idea, but if they were smart people they would have laughed at Trump for 8 years as the deepstate tripped him up at every turn instead of blowing up the system to get rid of him.
They did not have a plan to eliminate the RNC. Now they do.
The left always has many plans contending, and some get abandoned and come to be deemed right wing, and some get postponed while some other plan takes center stage. So that they have a plan to eliminate the RNC does not mean that the RNC will eliminated. But they generally go after the biggest applecart with the most apples, and the two big applecarts on the table right now are sodomizing and desexing schoolchildren and eliminating the RNC.
@Red
I am a fairly firm believer in Elite Theory. You could have 20 million people screaming a message, but if the Elite have a different idea or inclination, those 20mil are shit out of luck. Obviously, the situation is far more complex than that, but theory dictates that the “people” follow the elite.
The structure of American politics is such that there’s always some new emergency, new cause, new evil in need of mitigating, supporting, or opposing. This wears people out, making them jaded, numb, and detached. Therefore the base needs to be riled up, which is then used to bully elites down a certain path or away from another one. This is an unnecessarily complicated way of guiding elite thought, but the mastery of the process in place by the bureaucratic institutions keeps it ensconced.
I agree with you, in terms of taking people at their word, particularly when they say they want to hurt me, kill me, disenfranchise me. This discussion is a technical one regarding political structures.
What do you mean by bully the elite? Do you have an example?
An example would be the George Floyd incident. An actual incident was used to gin up a series of artificial protests to create legitimate civil unrest which were then blasted out by media, using very evocative footage with doctored context and packaged with strategic misinformation and “spiritual guidance” outlining a set of precepts and actions required to signal appropriate allegiance. Companies and institutions relied upon guidance from HR and legal departments, already seeded with zealots and loyalists to progressive ideologies, to craft a position that gave cues as to what was required in word and deed, which is basically thought.
At no point was any elite given the opportunity to dissent, push back, question, or just decline to participate in any public way, with harsh measures taken both preemptively and unfairly. In this way, the memetic sovereignty of the Cathedral was established and guided. Any possible dissent had to be framed terminologically congruent with “the message,” undercutting it completely, regardless of the desired or intended content. This was systemic”point deer, make horse,” and it framed the allowable discussion going forward.
It was a rousing success for a few factions, and it was repeated a number of times, though the efficacy varied and declined over time. This wasn’t the first time, it was just Emmitt Till hoax modernized.
Floyd was Cathedral propaganda at it’s finest. I can’t remember who said it here, but there’s a suspicion that the cop was paid for the performance and was double crossed by the people who put him up to it. Floyd was a known for doing this shit with gulping down the pills when arrested in order to avoid going to jail.
The Cathedral propaganda model is take a real striking visual incident and reframes to something else entirely. It’s the most effective sort of propaganda. The downside is you generally have to wait for it to happen.
But what you really saw with BLM was a paid for astroturfed religious movement. The left needed a religion and religious warriors, and BLM/Antifa and the Demon Floyd was it. They bused the people in, basically turned them into a terrorizing army. But almost no one was doing it for free. There was no base to rile up, just an terrorist army in the streets paid for by the US government and protected by law enforcement and the courts.
Trump could have stopped it if he’d been willing to call in the Militia to restore order and have the army protect them arrest, but he didn’t have the balls for it or more likely the faith for it.
What we lack is strong elites on our side. Trump was too weak for that role or he didn’t have the confidence of a faith to give him the need strength.
The missing ingredient is moral fiber. It used to be obvious that voting counts should be double-blind; now, the principle has been established that certain states are permitted to observe the final counts of other states before finalizing their own. Any idiot can see the purpose of this, and on the ground we are shocked to find that no one will assert the violation of a simple principle upon which everyone relies.
The same thing has happened with Floyd’s “second autopsy.” That the judge got away with allowing this exposes the corruption of the whole governance stack.
It’s things like that which make me suspect that there’s a hidden coordination layer, as otherwise standing on principle is something that’s admired. But I go back and forth on that in my mind.
Tell people not to vote make it easier to explain why the unpopular party keeps winning elections. We want to good men to realize the system is rigged. Our elections are headed the way of the Soviet Union where the fake and gay opposition party always loses and that quickly leads people to cynicism about the fundamental basis of the state religion and to the truth that democracy is a lie.
Every sheepdog, politico, Christian, and patriot I talk to who has a sufficient number of redpills to figure out that there’s a systemic issue that requires a systemic solution maintains the position that we must use the process, which implies that they believe the process can fix the problem(s). If the RNC was disbanded voluntarily with some person of passable eloquence stating that the whole thing was rigged, I don’t think people would just slouch into nominal one party rule. If the RNC gets disbanded as a result of a false flag and/or political purge, different story, potentially.
The uniparty system requires the outer party to work. The Cathedral would never let the outer party disappear without a suitable replacement. There could be a transition to monoparty system, but it would require a few very complicated or vast changes to how society is structured. For Russia, China, Cuba, Vietnam, and Cambodia, there was a systemic purge via civil war.
In another generation, maybe two, I could buy the idea that people would chalk up Dem Wins only to lack of involvement. But as it stands now, I don’t think anything would ignite political violence s wholly as every election being a choice between two democrats. In all honesty, that’s why we have now in general, but it works because the common knowledge perspective is that Republicans and Democrats hold antipodal positions. Explicit single party politics would drive boomercons insane.
I’m not saying this would be a panacea, but I agree with Yarvin that conservatives continuing to participate in a game they know is rigged, or just think could be easily rigged, is doing the Cathedral’s heavy lifting for it.
I like this argument, but it’s already happened twice with horrible outcomes: The Bolsheviks “legally” voted themselves into power by terrorizing every other party away from Duma. The opposition party in Venezuela boycotted a rigged election and then new laws where passed that resulted in them all being arrested legally.
The fact that a law was passed has magical power over the minds of the men with guns. Doesn’t matter how it got to the point that the law was passed, just that it was passed. This magical legality gives them cover for very evil acts.
You forgot the National Socialists. Hitler was voted enabling act powers when the other parties where scared away from voting by the storm troopers. The other parties all ended up in the Concentration camps and democracy continued with Hitler’s actions being approved via carefully managed plebiscites.
I think that’s what they wanted from J6. It was their Reichstag Fire, but they fucked it up.
The dynamics of a uniparty system require inner and outer. The Bolsheviks and National Socialists were not structurally uniparty, they were monoparty. The moment they had the means, they destroyed all opposition. The Cathedral has been united under it’s state religion for many, many decades. If they had the goal of eliminating nominal opposition, they could have done so. But that’s not how convergence/skinsuit methods work. The Cathedral wants nominal opposition, it gives them many options in many situations, and it refuses to accept actual opposition, or anything it cannot tame or control.
A layer of complexity over this situation creates circumstances that make historical precedents less capable to explain or predict. There isn’t a monolithic Conspiracy at work, it’s a conspiracy of conspiracies, so the coordination is suboptimal without a Schelling Point, but even then it’s messy; sometimes it works (Russia Collusion, November 2020) better than other times (Uvalde, Buffalo, Ukraine, etc). When the factions aren’t united, they are competing or adversarial. This is one handicap of a State Religion that lacks inviolate canon or dogma, or an agreed upon foundational text.
It appears to me that at least a couple factions of elites within the Polygon are actively seeking to instantiate a monoparty system, but they have varying methods and timetables. There are more factions (IMO) that oppose this, on tactical, strategic, and/or ideological grounds. The latter has the majority influence, but not by much, and it’s not going to last without a confederation or coalition pinned to a Schelling Point, something to unify opposition to the radicals. In this way, the radicals are better situated; their existence is the Schelling Point.
There’re so many layers, institutions, and systems predicated on the uniparty dynamic staying operable, I think there will be strong opposition to any rapid destabilization of it. This is why I’m somewhat incredulous to the idea that there was a plan to eliminate the RNC, but it was put on hold or cancelled due to Trump’s campaign.
The essay I posted a few weeks ago, the one that compared American politics to professional wrestling, is, to my mind, one of the best representations of uniparty dynamics. The fans of wrestling choose to believe in the moment, in the competition, in the stakes laid out by the script and setting and actors. If the fans stopped “believing,” there’s not much chance of the industry continuing. If the “heels” collectively decided to start fighting for real, went off script and fought to win, the whole system would collapse and have to be reconfigured or purged.
Leftism does not care about things staying operable. It sees an applecart, wants to knock it over.
It was put on hold, not canceled. Obama started purging the military and the administrative purge of anyone who’s a hard leftist. They were not exactly ready for the purge in 2016, but I think they planned after a successful war against Russia that would give them cover to finally rip the bandage off.
What do you think the Democrats would have done if J6 had played out the way they planned it? Dead cops, capital shot up, dead bodies everywhere and Trump standing there in the crowd all to blame for it?
We all know what they would have done to Trump and Co, but do you really think they would have stopped there? The rest of the GOP would have gone into the pot within a couple of years. First the MAGA elements, then the said something nice about Trump elements, then everyone else. The slippery slope all the way to the bottom.
Responding to both Jim and Red.
I don’t think it’s cut and dried yet, as in there’s not a dominant faction. So the various factions vie for power, pursue their own schemes, lend support when it benefits themselves, and always keeps an eye on the “consensus of the moment.”
Leftism only sees the untipped apple carts, but the Cathedral=/=Leftism, though it is dominated by leftists at the top. But it’s a meta-system (system of systems), and the stakes are different at different levels. As the leftists take more and more power, the factions will jockey harder and harder. Further complicating matters, there are dissenter elites and fence sitters, and elites who have retracted as much as possible while maintaining status, influence, and power. Some elites protect their carts by selling out others, or sacrificing some apples, or what have you.
Red, I think the radicals love the idea of liquidating their perceived opposition, and that they will get to continue the liquidation in perpetuity. Bezmenov and the Cambodian Paradigm shows is not only what will happen, but how it could happen: the will operationalize the Holiness Spiral to unite the zealots and purge the opposition within governance, then rinse and repeat until liquidated themselves.
There are moderating influences on the left and in the Cathedral. If there weren’t, we’d be in a very different place.
I think the factions have agreed to it and Biden’s Red Sermon was the public announcement.
https://www.thethinkingconservative.com/steve-cortes-our-response-to-bidens-red-sermon/
Of course at first only MAGA Republicans will be purged, but once started it’s not going to stop.
The increasing mocking and opposition of and to Biden from leftwing and leftward mouthpieces indicates dissention to me. My model is one of a slapdash and hasty crowd of Karens, sodomites, and low IQ minorities with just enough competent operators to keep the thing somewhat stable. Just like J06 fizzled, I think the Red Sermon was less than impressive and poorly received. The Cathedral of our time has very high expectations with very low impact, compared to their forbearers.
We may be on different sides of the disagreement about the nature and capacity of the Cathedral (monolithic conspiracy v. meta-conspiracy), which means we can see the same thing and have completely different interpretations.
I don’t think J06 was a meticulously planned and executed op, I think it was last minute and sloppy, taking advantage of a whole mess of dupes and CIs being all in one place. One of the side effects of Cathedral institutions onboarding midwits who demonstrate loyalty and willingness to submit themselves in a debased way (as opposed to high IQ, self-reliant people unwilling to grovel or mime) is that there are lots of people with very grandiose ideas and well crafted power point presentations, who are actually quite incapable of achieving that to which they aspire. So you get lots of confident assurances of unstoppable success followed by lackluster performance and suboptimal outcomes. This denotes poor organizational capacity and failing coordination.
Public opinion wise they failed. But the security forces are going right ahead with the rounds up anyways. They’re having a harder and harder time using their religion to rule, so they’re resulting to naked force without any sort of legitimacy. It’s short term only thing, but once you’ve rounded up the even nominally fake opposition, not going to be a lot of dissenting voices. Abortion protestors are being raided now and are looking at long jail sentences. This is all ramping up towards a full purge of the Cathedral’s foes.
Ray Epps, the pipe “bombs”, doors being opened, fences being removed along with the no trespassing signs and stuff like the gallows, teams of Antifa/Feds all in black breaking through windows and says otherwise. So does the loads of weapons some groups showed up at DC with, but which never made it to the capitol. The people the feds were telling to come armed, got cold feet and left them behind.
They war gamed it, put a ton planning into it and got every fed connected group working on it. The op was a disaster as the crowd wasn’t nearly violent enough, but that’s comes from drinking their own coolaid on who MAGA people are. They’re not terribly competent but having full control of the media lets be sloppy and still get away with it.
I think we’re on the same page. There’s different factions but they talk to each other and have coordinated ops when they all agree on something important. They couldn’t agree on which faction should rule, so Biden was chosen as a place holder. They agreed on a lot stuff and on those issues they work together.
I expected the matter to be resolved lethally lickety-split, but this has not happened yet.
Any time they need to make a decision, they kick the can down the road. Will run out of road eventually, but it may take a while longer.
I’m also in Florida, likely will not vote. Investment in the current system will only lead to further normalcy bias. I’m an outlaw in foreign occupied territory. Whores and bandits all around me. That’s my mindset. I’m still plenty motivated to make something of it. Just not interested in validating any part of clownworld.
That’s always the downside in voting. Even when voting for the lesser of 2 evils you become somewhat invested in it.

Thanks! I was unfamiliar with this poster.
Long, but excellent article on Russia and the GAE.
Goes into some Jimian themes like whether our nukes even work anymore.
https://cirno.substack.com/p/russia-will-not-use-nuclear-weapons
Super intresting.
So refreshing to see someone else mention this. The evidence presented about on this blog has been pretty damning, but I not seen it mentioned at lot else where.
Very good commenters too:
This strikes me as unrealistic optimism. US is incapable of making a deal. War will continue, one thing will lead to another thing, things will escalate one way or another way, sooner or later.
Limited wars are fought for limited stakes, but what limits the stakes? It is that both sides observe certain rules and certain limits. One by one these limits will fall by the wayside, and the stakes will get higher and higher.
That outcome is unlikely, but I could see an internal coup that tells the war faction to STFU while they surrender Ukraine to Russia. Peace wouldn’t last long as the war faction would quickly try to restart the war, but it might be enough to collapse the GAE. Russia would look much the stronger horse after that, and our Anti-American empire would come tumbling down.
Jim, what’s your take on Russia’s nuclear tsunami drones? I get the idea, but it would actually work?
Maybe, needs testing.
The question is, can the energy of a nuclear bomb efficiently couple to a tsunami wave?
There has been one test of an underwater nuclear explosion, it was at a quite shallow depth, and nearly all the energy was dissipated in throwing highly radioactive water five thousand feet in the air. If you want to damage stuff some distance away, that is not going to do much harm, except to ships a short distance away.
Because there is a lot of water in the ocean, the radiation, the heat, and the blast would all be completely suppressed if the bomb is detonated at depth. Would it dissipate in heating a very large amount of water, or would some of it be coupled into a wave capable causing damage? Likely the efficiency of coupling would depend rather strongly on ocean depth, and the depth at which it was detonated, on how far down the rocks were below, and how far up the air was above.
I rather suspect that unless you want to blow up some ships from below, not going to do much harm. Good for taking out a carrier, not necessarily much use in attacking coastal cities.
It is hard to predict how it would go. My bet would be that it is only likely to be useful as an anti ship weapon, but we will not know until it is tested.
There’s been at least one deep water test (2000′), meant to test anti-submarine effects. Operation Wigwam.
There are two visible surface effects.
The first effect is when the sonic shock wave reaches the surface, whereupon is spalls a bunch of water a few hundred feet into the air.
The second effect is when the steam bubble reaches the surface, and it reaches maybe 1000′ into the air. This was a bomb in the low two digit Kiloton range.
https://youtu.be/fYUNAFVIAK8?t=524
In certain circles, nuclear torpedoes were known as a “2 kill” weapon system: you were guaranteed to kill the target, and the vessel that launched it. This is from long ago, maybe things have changed.
Russia’s new nuclear torpedos are nuclear powered as well as nuclear armed. They have arbitrary range. The can cross the entire ocean. They are like under water ICBMs. They’re nuclear powered drones.
Not necessarily a “tsunami bombâ€. Seems like it can do plenty of normal bomb damage if it goes into a port and blows up, not to mention enemy fleets of ships. The west might be reading it wrong as a strategic nuke when it might just be a tactical nuke.
No efficient coupling to tsunami.
Therefore, not a useful countervalue weapon, not useful against coastal cities. Useful against enemy carriers and enemy nuclear submarines.
It could be very nasty against coastal cities if you set it off beneath the docks. That much pressure and then the steam would really fuck up the port infrastructure.
The Russian Poseidon torpedo supposedly has a yield of up to 60 Megatons. This is Tsar Bomba territory. Since this bomb is not delivered by air (either missile or aircraft) there is little weight restriction, so it can be loaded up with reactant fuel. Furthermore, since it is designed to explode deep underwater, there is effectively infinite tamper holding the reactants together for the lifetime of the reaction, so it’s possible the fusion/fission reaction is potentially more fuel efficient compared to an air burst.
Not tsunami bomb, just a regular bomb. And if it explodes a short distance away in shallow water or on the surface then everything within eight kilometers is going to get smashed up, and lots of stuff within fifty kilometers is going to get set on fire.
Everyone in line of sight of the fireball and within fifty kilometers range is going to get severe burns that are likely to be fatal, but most people will not be in line of sight. Depending on the balance between lithium deuteride and depleted uranium, there is likely to be a great deal of fallout. Fallout gets exaggerated a lot, but fallout from very large bombs like this one is likely to be a much bigger proportion of the harmful effects than it was with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so they are not just blowing smoke.
To destroy an enemy fleet, detonate at depth so that the shock wave in the water smashed up the ship hulls. To destroy port cities, detonate on the surface in the port, or as close to the port as you are likely to safely get.
Enormous nuclear bombs do not cost a lot more than regular sized nuclear bombs, it is the delivery systems that are a problem, because enormous nuclear bombs are a lot bigger and heavier than regular bombs. But a nuclear power torpedo can carry a lot of mass, so it makes sense to give them enormous bombs
@Cloudswrest
If those nuclear propelled, nuclear armed Russian Poseidon torpedos pan out, that’s going to spell the end of US submarine military superiority.
Given the unlimited range of the torpedoes, the launch submarines can just park themselves somewhere under the North Polar icecap, eliminating the ability of surface ships to hunt for them. Attacking the US West coast may be difficult from there due to the narrowness of the Bering Straight, making detection of transiting torpedoes perhaps easier, but the open ocean between Greenland, Iceland and the British Isles (or even sneaking through Baffin Bay) makes detection more problematic for the East Coast.

Question for the historians here. We’ve talked about the drop in elite reproduction, and reproduction in general due to different factors.
My question is about the literacy rate among elite females, as well as commoners. When did literacy become the norm for women? I think it is an enormous mistake to argue with females about what is in the Bible, but also it is obvious that females jump to the Bible and religion for power in greater numbers than men. And men have a difficult time defending their position.
Given how difficult it is for anyone to understand the Bible, and how enthusiastically women will jump to any conclusion to support the feminine imperative I would think the literacy rate among females would be correlated to a drop in fertility.
Not my impression at all. Women will not argue the bible with you. They accept a man as authoritative if their pussy says so.
80/20 rule. Women will argue what’s in the Bible with most men. Most men will not be adequately able to defend their position. Also mothers will not hesitate to condition their sons accordingly.
I can’t ever remember arguing about the bible with a woman.
What’s your experiences with it?
Mostly just shit tests, women trying to manipulate me. Not hard to pass. But every church I’ve ever been to the men were in lock step with the women. The men just ate up everything the women said about the Bible. My theory is just a guess, intuition. I could be projecting my experience.
I’m smart among normies, average for these parts. In the past I’ve found it hard to argue my (our) position on the Bible. It’s a tough book. Mostly I just point to the obvious verses that support patriarchy, etc. Same as everyone here.
I’m very aware of what a women will go through for alpha. But that’s not going to be most mens experience. Not to mention the bullshit mothers tell their sons. My guess is female literacy played an important part, specifically due to females taking up the Bible, on increasing the power of the feminine imperative. I do not have any data to back that up just intuition.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a church. Women would talk about a lot of stuff, but was relationship stuff, gossip, or holiness signaling but never about a biblical text with a man.
It’s just not in my experience. So I doubt literacy has anything to do with your experience, since I didn’t observe it and I went to close to 30 different churches as a kid and young adult. More likely you’re experiencing churches full of weak men with Women trying to take on the male role and the men simping for female attention. Sunday morning only fans dot com!
I may have to swing by my local church to see what it’s like now.
My mother would pretty much believe whatever a man said in a book. But I have a weak father. Pretty much everything a woman says came from a man, so it doesn’t surprise me that my mother would think things that stronger men said. I spent a lot of time debating the crap she found in books, but it’s pointless to debate a woman, they don’t really debate.
But one of those books wasn’t the bible. She would express things that others said about the bible, but quoting scripture was my father’s job.
This has simply never happened to me. And I cannot even imagine a woman arguing me about what is in the bible. They could argue with me about what is in the bible over the internet, but it would be psychologically impossible to for a woman to argue the bible with me in person. Even if she is a progressive pastor in a progressive Church.
There is a sexual dynamic to Christianity – God the father, Church is the bride of Christ, the Bible speaks to men and of women. If that flow is running though a man, a woman cannot argue the Christian faith with him.
Yet it is obvious the progressive interpretation of the Bible is hostile to the mating dance and family formation. And that position is the position of nearly every Christian church.
It is obvious that women use the Bible to manipulate men, as well as men. Yes it is just another shit test. But given the nature of the Bible, has it been used with success by women disproportionately to other methods? My guess is yes.
If you say no, female literacy and the Bible has had no effect on fertility, then I don’t have anything to argue, I don’t have any data. It’s just a hunch and thought it was worth the question.
I’d really like to see this is action. I can’t even imagine it, it’s so foreign to my expedience.
Dalrock goes into plenty of detail on his blog https://dalrock.wordpress.com. He does not post anymore but he covered feminism and Christianity in great detail. Excellent blog, I read it for a couple of years before I found Jim’s blog.
According to Wikipedia the printing press was invented in 1440, and reached North America in the 1600s due to a demand in Bibles. That coincides a little bit with the rise of Harvard.
This line of questioning started a couple weeks ago, I was listening to a Jordan Peterson podcast. He was talking about having to stop mentoring females some years ago, him and fellow male professors, for fear of the consequences of false allegations. But also that it was a shame, because females seek out competent male mentors and it can be a very positive and rewarding bond.
That got me thinking about my ex-wife. She’s very feminine but also has that a streak in her that wants to be a man. She’s always trying to do things for herself, trying to be the alpha male, and a big reason she succeeds is that she is always learning from myself and from her brothers. Not things like fixing cars. Things like running her little business.
The thing about entropy is it’s always happening, even this very moment, and nobody notices it. Your metabolism is entropy. But sometimes it’s not always slow. Sometimes it speeds up. So I’m trying to tie all this together, looking at the Bible, looking at how we as men can be fooled, looking at females perpetual lust for power, and just looking at what fits. Looking at our possible failures and what we need to do better.
A wonderful and very informative blog. But everyone, including Dalrock, is apt to shy away from the darkest truths about women.
From an Old Testament perspective, there’s nothing intrinsically wrong about a woman running a small business – rather than undermining her husband’s authority over her, it would make her more useful to him.
The problem in today’s world is that people equate personal status with personal income, and expect the man to be the “breadwinner”. In THAT context, encouraging women to pursue high-salary careers undermines male authority. But the people who want a woman to spend her best years climbing the corporate ladder would not be happy about her instead running her own small business, under the authority of her husband.
The progressive interpretation of what the bible says about sex, is the bible with the double standard corrected and the sexual valence of the bible erased. “God the father and mother“. If that sexual valence speaks through you, no one can pretend their position is biblically based if they are interacting with you in person.
The progressive bible is the bible transsexed. Cannot stand against the actual bible.
[*deleted for posting from alternate reality*]
Transexualized Christianity runs and hides when confronted by actual Christianity.
Try arguing that Christians aren’t supposed to be circumcised and see how far you get. I do suppose women think with their pussies, as you put it. And just like the bible says.
Even trained professional women like judges will never argue about written texts simply because they do not care about the texts. They care about people, which isn’t bad in itself, but the consistent catch is that they think the lowest of men who do care about texts.
Who are you needing to argue this with?
Hey Jim, I can’t see it clearly myself, but could there be a parallel or pattern, in the past, present or anticipated future, that completes the analogy
USA-Vietnam : Tet Offensive :: GAE-Russia : ___?
Something to do with how real-world events can be selectively spun to look like something else entirely, and how it’s the spinning that decides actual events and history. A horrifying but real phenomenon.
Here’s my best guess:
Russia can’t pull a Tet Offensive, actually, because the media on our side, over here, is pro-GAE, so if Putin’s men did something awesome and brave, if ultimately unsuccessful, our media would either point and laugh at them or just ignore it altogether.
But maybe it’s different on the Russian side. Surely much of their media, over there, is anti-Russian and anti-Christian, so some wild move by the GAE, like a nuclear first strike mass-murdering multiple Slavic and Orthodox cities in 4K on YouTube (via Starlink, because of course) would have them all musing “Wow, these guys are really serious! I guess we just can’t win this one, and it’d be downright immoral for us to try. Imagine all… the people…â€
That’s what I was thinking. Our equivalent would be dissident right media siding with Putin — which they’re pretty much already doing. It is somewhat effective, but nothing compared to the late sixties Cathedral media.
On Russia’s side a fifth column media seems more likely. Through my normie friends I hear occasional stories of how Russian media is supposedly standing up to evil dictator Putin. Difficult to judge how much is propaganda.
When the Cathedral sees freedom of speech in Russia, they cannot comprehend it, since no freedom of speech here.
Vietnam was a war fought inside the USA between GAE-Americans and the remnants of the US Anti-Communist movement (which had previously been the pro-Nazi America First movement).
Loss of Vietnam was basically the point at which Anti-Communism died, being replaced on the furthest right by Trotskyite Neo-Conservatives. Neocons being ultimately inside the GAE faction, not outside it, as demonstrated by rehabilitation of Bush etc.
Americans need to get over using Vietnam and Munich as the analogy for everything. Not just because not everything is analogous to those things, but because Americans don’t even know what happened in those events.

“But compared to the rewards of a steady paycheck, the Tricare health plan, educational opportunities and other ancillary benefits, that might be worth it.”
Ah yes, The Tricare “health plan.”
>Early 2022
>Be deathly ill and in a near comatose state of fatigue with constant chronic pain during the few hours awake
>”We lost your orders, you’ll have to wait for command to redo them before you can get medical care”
>3 months latter “We have your orders and have sent them to a different branch of the military, you’ll have to get care through them due to the remote location you’re currently located at.”
>Another 2 months pass and at a different command’s medical group: “We don’t have your orders on file, please ask your command to resend”
>Another month passes “We actually did have your orders but because our computer system has been glitched since it’s creation we couldn’t see that we had your orders so you’ll have to coordinate between our two offices (the one that can see and the one that can’t) so we know what’s going on” Those two offices are in the same damn hallway…
>It’s been 6 months and now I’m 95% recovered. Do I really need healthcare at this point? I finally get to see a doctor… who promptly refers me to a civilian doctor off base.
>At month 8 I finally get my “healthcare” which amounts to about a $1000 medical test to confirm I’ve recovered, minus the chronic pain that the doctor, off the record, suspects is nerve damage. Nerve damage wasn’t in the original orders so I can’t get medical care for it.
>At month 9 I get a bill and a letter in the mail from the civilian medical provider because “Tricare states there are no orders on file, you have to contact them to reprocess your claim so you don’t get billed for it”
>I also received a letter from DoD about my benefits being terminated retroactively before I got health care, and then another letter about those same benefits being terminated effectively after I got care. Even DoD doesn’t know what’s going on.
>Remember that glitched computer system… Tricare must use the same contractors because they did have my paperwork on file on a system they could not see my paperwork. Btw it’s now been nearly 11 months.
Almost 11 months of bureaucratic hell. By my estimate the bureaucracy cost somewhere around $145,000 based on number of people involved and man hours spent.
Now you might think that this is a fluke, and indeed this might have been one of the bigger fuck ups, but when surveys indicate being uninsured might be better than Tricare…

Bronson is horrendously out of date in regards to the sheer free fall the military is in. This includes the benefits programs. Bronson observed that it’s the white (competent) farmboys who end up in combat arms. He didn’t seem to register what that implies about where the diversity ends up. It’s all in admin. All in the benefits programs. Logistics/acquisitions is still “competent,” but that’s changing fast as the nearly entirely white DoD civilian workforce which underpins all direct military logistics is aging into retirement.
Some VA locations are great, but those are the exceptions from what I hear.
