I usually do not report the news of the day — it is impossible to understand the daily events except from the perspective of years. If one pays too much attention to the news of the morning, one is overwhelmed by meaningless noise. But today, a big change.
Today the Russians took a bunch of villages without much of a fight, and a bunch of prisoners without a fight. Little villages, and a small amount of turf, as usual. But what has changed is the a sudden diminuition in resistance. Among those villages that quietly changed hands was Robotyne, a tiny insignificant village and tiny insignificant patch of land over which so many vast rivers of blood have been spilled for the past year and a day. Exhausted Ukrainian soldiers are retreating in disorder across the front.
On checking the mainstream media, I see Baghdad Bob levels of denial:
Forbes:
The Russians Got Cocky After Avdiivka, And Sent 70-Year-Old T-55 Tanks To Attack Robotyne. It Ended Badly.
Yes, Russia is a gas station masquerading as a great power🙃
Yahoo News:
Russian Armed Forces fail near Robotyne: Five occupiers become prey for only two Ukrainian soldiers
The events they are reporting are not made up, those things really happened, but the implied frame, the implied context, is wildly and ludicrously out of step with the reality of what is happening on the ground, which is Ukrainian collapse. Russians are moving into formerly occupied Ukrainian turf, one squad at a time, one tank at a time, and sometimes they get an unpleasant surprise. But most of the time, they do not. “Oh, attempting to take Robotyne with one tank, and one armored personnel carrier carrying five soldiers failed? OK, we will have another go with two tanks and two armored personel carriers, each carrying a squad of half a dozen, attacking from different directions.”
The Ukrainians in Robotyne ran away without a fight. The fields around Robotyne are littered with Leopards and Bradleys, and the thunder in and around Robotyne which has been unceasing for a year and day has fallen quiet.
Fighting continues across the front, but Ukrainians killed has fallen dramatically, while Ukrainians taken prisoner has risen dramatically. Since the liberation of Avdeyevka, the nature of the fighting has changed substantially.
What I’m hearing, I think it was on smoothiex12, is that after the collapse of the major strongholds like Avdeyevka and the attrition is the ability to reposition troops is severely restrained. Thus Russia can determine where to attack all across the front line. The Ukrainians simply don’t have the resources to reposition from feints or massed attacks at specific points.
My father attends a Urainian Orthodox Church – I think illegal in Ukraine at the moment. These are some of the most beautiful women and men in the world. It is a small wonder the Linthay Grathams of the world want to fight to the Last Ukrainian.
By the way, I thought of your blog because I saw a middle aged celebrity who was beautiful and I thought of your shill test. I was snookered by two successive older women. I didn’t understand why good friends told me it was a mistake.
Single older women, at the end of their reproductive age, should not dress attractively. They should be expected to be dowdy. Young men should be sexually drawn to women who are most capable of reproduction.
As an American I am rooting for Russia to win, simply because “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” and Ukraine is the democrat/rino money laundering machine.
The Ukranian nationalists made a deal with the devil in the end of course it didnt work out.
[…] 3 it is impossible to understand the daily events except from the perspective of years. If one pays too much attention to the news of the morning, one is overwhelmed by meaningless noise. https://blog.reaction.la/war/the-ukraine-army-begins-to-crumble/ […]
What I think of the whole affair is that, while Russia isn’t our friend, I don’t care what they do, as long as they do it over there, on their side of the fence; that it is foolish for Western powers to meddle in their side of the fence, unless actually looking to go to war with Russia; and that the anyone thinking that Ukrainia could somehow defeat Russia militarily is as ridiculous as thinking Mexico could defeat the USA.
That’s probably true as far as the United Mexican States is concerned, one corrupt ramshackle failed state versus another, but Mexican drug cartels could easily defeat the USA; one could argue that they already have. They just don’t see the US government as a serious threat, and are more interested in seizing territory from rival cartels.
Do you think America would be the” friend” of any country that conducted itself as America has towards it?
What I’m saying is that the unfriendliness is not inherent in the relationship. In my uneducated but not unfounded view the initiation of hostilities has been overwhelmingly one-sided in my lifetime. That is, America has excluded Russia from defensive cooperation, violated strategic truces and understanding [AMB withdrawal, expansion of NATO] and openly conducted operations expressly intended against Russia.
Can you think of any corresponding behavior by the Russian government? I wouldn’t be surprised if there was, but I haven’t heard of any – not the Russia’s critics have been exactly meticulous about arranging facts to validate their decsions.
To pass the test:
Negroids are a subspecies of Homo sapiens, as evidenced by numerous anatomical, genetic, and behavioral data, including but not limited to difficulty in conception when out-breeding with other subspecies, especially the Caucasoid.
> Russians are moving into formerly occupied Ukrainian turf, one squad at a time, one tank at a time, and sometimes they get an unpleasant surprise. But most of the time, they do not. “Oh, attempting to take Robotyne with one tank, and one armored personnel carrier carrying five soldiers failed? OK, we will have another go with two tanks and two armored personel carriers, each carrying a squad of half a dozen, attacking from different directions.â€
OSINT suggests that Russia can continue generating force equivalent to its current operational tempo until at least the end of 2026. If their pace of territorial conquest remains linear, then they will handily annex Donetsk and Luhansk, but not threaten Kiev. If they wish to capture to the line of the Dnieper, their rate of gain will need to accelerate.
If they keep winning places without a fight, their tempo will naturally accelerate.
What has been holding them up is long, long, immensely bloody battles for absolutely insignificant villages. Many thousands of men died in and around Robotdyne, the area around it is littered with tanks and APCs, yet it just fell in half an hour to a dozen men.
That is an increase in tempo – and likely to foreshadow another increase in tempo, and another, and another, over the next three months, like the last hundred days of World War I.
I saw an interview with a veteran of Bakhmut and Avdeyevka. He said Avdeyevka was easy because the Ukrainians had no fight left in them. They had even less fight left in them in Robotdyne, a little village half way to the other side of the Ukraine.
The Ukrainians are not only running out of shells, they are running out of fight.
By the way, lovely to see you pass the test with a thought crime related to those specifically mentioned, but not exactly one of those specifically mentioned.
Mounted horse archers are the future.
Yamahas, or any suitable off road bike, backpack with Switchblade drone. Xbox controller. Go behind enemy lines, split up, enemy needs more drones to properly ID. Duck into the tree line. Hide under bridges. Simultaneous barrage of strikes behind enemy lines.
Would be fruitful, and fitting, if the cossak tradition was revived here. Know bikes do well in mud, seems like they’d do well in the Ukraine. Sadly it will probably just be more gay meat grinder attrition.
In my kitchen and bathroom I wage an endless war against cockroaches. It’s truly amazing how fast those little fuckers can run. If you could somehow turn your soldiers into cockroaches, using their high speed to dodge aerial attacks and their low profile to avoid bullets from the ground, you’d have an awesome offensive machine.
Great analogy.
600cc dirt bike motorcycle drone cossacks for the win. Maybe electric too so they can sneak around with night vision. Just imagine. Adventure Tales for Boys.
And what happened to the original cossacks, again? With their horses and their guns and their independent manly spirits? Surely half of them didn’t fight for the fucking Reds, and then they surely didn’t get starved, massacred, relocated, and “de-cossackized” by a bunch of dysgenic noddle-armed urban paper-pushers. The waxed their manly mustaches, rode in, saved the Tzar and his daughters, and gave those commies a good whipping, I’m sure.
Is it Contaminated NEET theory, then, that use of dispersable infantry scale mobility assets – such as bikes, ultralights, autogyros, et cetera – as a military tactic, is necessarily entangled with useful idiocy for leftism or ideological blindness, on a strategic scale?
The Contaminated NEET theory is that the Right can’t get enough beautiful loser cuck porn. We want to be the cossacks? Even in our fantasies, we’re the losers.
Ah, yes, and we should probably do away with guns as well. After all, those things are wielded by cuck ZOG footsoldiers. We should also do away with our national identity which has been used to enforce the gay parade. It’s all so tainted. No, what we need to pure, unfiltered reaction- purer than the reaction of those other reactionaries.
Nationalism is an early form of leftism, and was recognized as such during the period it emerged. Ideology usually ends up taking preference even over close kinship ties — ‘The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.’
All pretexts for doing leftism are contingent. In times of high ordering, this usually involves playing one relationship off against the other. In times of low ordering, this means dispensing with all relationships in general. Do not forget that they are indeed relationships.
Nationalism even in our time presupposes I give up resources in order to safeguard the interests of those far in space and mind, at the whim of… who exactly? At the time it was justification for termination of the old rights of the nobility in order to funner power to a smaller set, perhaps done reflexively in the age of conscription, and now it’s justification to burden those even further down the ladder of power in service to a collective identity based on spurious claims of distant kinship. It’s taking a real notion of kinship and diluting it beyond all meaning as a justification for collecting resources to a central coordinator.
It is a matter of ordinals. Brothers, cousins, clan, country… leftists using nationalist language say those things because they are trying to do leftism. A man like Trump is nationalist and does not say those things because he is not leftist.
The question being discussed is what war tactics are appropriate. World War I tactics are horrifyingly costly. How then can one conduct an offensive?
The “fantasy” is how to regain war of movement. Electric motorcycles seem like a really good idea. Current tactics consist of sneaking around on foot, in single tanks, and small squads in a single apv. A single motocycle is obviously going to work better. If the trend is to smallness and furtiveness, motorcycles are the end result of that trend. Russians recently made a big advance by sneaking through the porous front line as individuals on foot, and then forming a flash mob to grab the enemy’s rear. Doing that on motorcycles would obviously work a whole lot better.
Hordes of expendable replaceable meat just are not working very well. One very good drone operator is responsible for a significant proportion of all recent Ukrainian casualties — we are drifting towards early iron age warfare where a single very good warrior with very good and very expensive equipment can make the difference between winning and losing, and tenth century warfare where men fought largely as individual heroes.
We are moving towards aristocratic warfare, with the likely result that we will return to aristocratic governance.
As equipment becomes more expensive, and the difference between an elite wielding it versus an interchangeable grunt wielding it becomes greater and greater, it is time for heroes and nobility. A single very good man with very good equipment can turn the outcome of a battle.
To properly move towards elite warfare, we need to award the heroes property, power, and obedient pussy, for property and power is worthless without pussy. The time for feudalism returns.
And e-bikes would be a lot quieter.
Despite all the propaganda about Russian human meat wave attacks getting mowed down like zombie hordes, video footage from the front shows very small groups and individual heroes, often a single soldier. One tank dukes it out with one tank, one squad takes one building, one man takes one foxhole.
The age of heroic warfare returns.
As I said, soldiers are acting more like spies, saboteurs and entryists. We saw one three hundred kilometer infiltration. (The flash mob destroyed some key facilities, then vanished.) — do that with enough people, form a flash mob three hundred kilometers in, and cut the enemy off, rather than vanishing, and you can escape static World War I trench warfare by grabbing three hundred kilometers in one snatch.
Currently the flash mob tactic is being used to grab up to eight kilometers in a single leap, to avoid slogging it out foxhole by foxhole. If eight, why not eighty?
Russia relies on heroes. A rather small number of heroes. Supply heroes with pussy and enough property and power to stash pussy somewhere, and you will have a rather larger number of heroes.
Park rangers in Africa are going around on electric motorbikes now (supplied by Whitey of course) to catch poachers, or at least make them more afraid of getting caught.
The point is that the electrics make less noise, and are thus more difficult to hear. Give off less IR too (though the riders are still as warm as ever.)
Everyone wants to be the masculine rambo dude killing his enemies like it’s a video game, but in practice such people depend on big supply lines they cannot build or maintain, and have for a long time been just disposable meat with no real power of their own.
Consider how much it took for manly young white men to slow down on signing themselves up to die for Uncle Sam.
The use of these assets by the state is not useful idiocy, but the right should not be sucking them off so hard, because there is always a surplus of useful idiots to pilot them.

you can’t install windose without microsoft account
and microsoft has the ability to shutdown the windose remotly
basiclly windose is now simply an extension of the “cloud” thing.
any pretence of windose being a “personal OS” is thrown out.
was this connected to removing old windose ?
I’m using a cracked copy of windows without a MS account just fine.
So it has always been, but most people aren’t willing to download WINCRACK.EXE off a Russian hacker website just to make their computers usable.
Some years ago Microsoft decided to make the “Windows sound” mandatory at bootup, and the Russians helpfully released a crack tool that silenced it so you could e.g. use Windows to mix audio at a concert.
Here I have nothing to contribute except a trivial correction: two years and a day, not one year and a day (unless the offensive on Robotyne began exactly a year after the war began?)
Actually the battle for Robotyne has been going on for rather less than a year, and the whole war for a two years and day at the time Robotyne was recently recaptured, and I took the poetic liberty of mangling these two facts together, as excessive accuracy was hardly critical.
A fun bit of trivia: I had a suspicion about the name “Robotyne” so I looked it up and confirmed that it was named after the local serf population. That makes it the same etymology as the word “robot”. Robotville.
Apologies for the short-termist content but I just listened to a podcast segment where a left-leaning analyst talked to a leftist host. There were some interesting points.
1. Democrats aim to take the House in order to suppress the coming Trump dictatorship. They seem to have given up on Biden though.
2. The youths hate Biden because of Gaza and have demonstrations wherever he appears. This indicates among other things that Biden won’t be able to drum up the usual support staff, and won’t win. Kamala is toast too, because of a lack of accomplishments while VP.
3. Instead, everyone is now looking at third party challengers. These should seem sane in comparison to Trump and Biden (conveniently grouped). There are many parties but few that can reach the whole country. RFK jr (perhaps with Andrew Yang) may be the strongest challenger. There also is a dark money party named ‘No Label’ consisting of republican cucks and moderate democrats. Mitt Romney and suchlike may be involved. These at least have rich sponsors.
I also had the misfortune to listen to a Financial Times roundtable with two men and three women speaking broken english and dominating the conversation, in particular a think tank Jewess. I have to admit I fell asleep in the middle, but there were two takeaways at the end, both supplied by the men.
1. If Trump reduces the Nato effort, are the rest of the participants ready to defend themselves? Emphatically NO from the journalist.
2. If things go (global) south, which bloc will India join? It seems the US is the considered the by far likeliest option.
Last comment didn’t go through/accidentally self deleted; apologies if duplicate.
2) Two airman self-immolated to protest against Israel. The radicals zeal isn’t dead while the mainstream left has Newsom? I have no idea who they could plausibly rally around.
3) No 3rd party has ever won the presidency in the US and the setup makes it impossible.
1b) France and England still have nukes.
2b) India isn’t going to join the US while America is agitating for war against Russia, Iran and China similtaneously.
England definitely does not have nukes. Their tech level is heading back to early iron age. France likely has working nukes, but the way the wind blows, probably not for much longer. England has some very old nuclear subs that they can no longer repair or maintain, and each year have fewer of them. The nuclear submarines have nuclear missiles, which are unlikely to be able to launch. Should they launch, unlikely to reach their targets, should they reach their targets, their bombs will fizzle.
Thing is, the subs get regular patrols, so when something goes wrong, they try to fix it, and if the fix works, they know it worked, and if it fails, which it usually does, they try something different. Their nuclear missiles have not been subject to this regular testing regime, and when tested (two tests over the past eight years), failed, to which failures they responded with denial, rather than any attempt to address the problem.
If they thought they were able to address the problem, would have promptly attempted a fix and then launched the modified version. If one failed, and they took a look into it, then tested another, you might say, some duds. But failure and they just blow it off, all duds. They are all way past their planned lifetime, like the subs. Their nukes reached use by date a long time ago.
3. This was a bit unclear, since they then basically started talking about spoilers. But that doesn’t combine too well with nobody likes Biden, I assume? Both examples could draw Trump voters though. Then just fortify the election a little bit. (They of course didn’t mention that possibility.)
1b. Well, assuming the nukes work, and Russia has them too. But I think the interesting part was that they know they are woefully unprepared and are willing to say it. (With a hint of ‘please stop Trump’.) Compared to the unrealistic chest beating one has heard for so long.
The glowies are starting to admit you are right, though they offer their usual lies as explanation:
https://web.archive.org/web/20240226153908/https://journalofdemocracy.org/online-exclusive/why-ukraine-is-starting-to-lose/
Check out that masthead. I’d never heard of this place but they’re not writing this for me or you.
*That* is a population collapse far worse than anything I’ve yet heard of. Some of it could be due to emigration, but men in their forties have had an extra twenty years to emigrate. Or was this count taken after a great many twenty-something men died in the war?
The title of the article Steelkilt posted says volumes It purports to explain wy Ukraine is “starting” to lose conviction”, obviously a euphemism for “Why we’re forced to begin admitting it”. And describing a conviction as “shaken” is an odd way of describing a public whose support for the foreign national running their country is at about 20%. Even if the mean average is accurate, we all know that 20% would not be a representative 20%.
Even Russians will tell you they fight like lions. You can’t equip anyone well enough to fight the Russians with the ferocity they have. Is there a country in NATO with a military that could fight like that? But that time is over. The tragedy is an entire generation of lions is being slaughtered. I don’t blame the young emigrees [many of them end up here in Canada]. I’d be the hell out of Canada just as as fast as if Justin Trudeau invaded the USA to save transsexuals.
It’s not simply self-interest that leads me to wonder, “I wonder what will happen to the corresponding women” because if anyone thinks this has not been given consideration by the men who arranged for the death of the men needs to spend more time reading Jim’s previous entries.

“We were not expanding into the ukraine; and it’s good that we did.”
lmao. Just a spontaneous phone call. Nalyvaichenko was 50/50 between calling his mother or the CIA, and whoops-a-doops, he called the CIA and the rest is history.
They carefully do not admit to doing the Maidan coup. Well, all in due time.
This reminds me of the 30+ totally legit biolabs that had somehow sprouted in Ukraine. What happened to those?
As said before, Summer of 2024 could be the start of something amazing…
America Is Heading For Its Own ‘Thermidorian Reaction’
Authored by James Howard Kunstler via Kunstler.com,
Comes Thermidor
“Democratic Party elites such as those on CNN are not just angry but genuinely confused by the fact that American voters don’t obey them.â€
– Glenn Greenwald
What’s most amazing about the fiasco that was the French Revolution is that it happened at exactly the same time that the United States successfully organized themselves into an orderly and effective government following the American Revolution. George Washington was elected and sworn-in by April of 1789, with the backing of an exemplary constitution assembled by the best minds in the land. The Bastille fell in July that same year. France then fell into a years’ long orgy of beheading and chaos that went nowhere until 1799 when an artillery officer named Bonaparte put an end to it by sheer force of personality.
Of course, France had assisted America in concluding our revolt against King George — surely you remember the Marquis de Lafayette from your high school history class (or has he been replaced by George Floyd?). There were plenty of Frenchmen still on the American scene during the years following the British surrender at Yorktown in the fall of 1781. Some of them must have kept tabs on the Constitutional Convention, May to September, 1787, out of which came our blueprint for managing national affairs, and not a few of these Frenchmen were active in their own revolution which kicked off two years later.
By the way, Thomas Jefferson was in Paris from 1784 until autumn of 1789, months after the Bastille fell. He succeeded Ben Franklin as minister there to negotiate trade agreements (Ben went to London as ambassador). John Adams was also on-the-scene in Paris as our ambassador there when Jefferson arrived. These Americans met daily and chatted endlessly with France’s political players. The American Articles of Confederation were in effect then, to be replaced by the improved US Constitution in 1787. The people of France, including the various elites involved in public life, royal, haut bourgeoise, lawyers and generals, might have taken a lesson from the American experience of how to successfully come out of a political tribulation. Alas, they simply could not get their shit together.
Rewind a little to 1793 in Paris, the revolution in full swing: King Louis XVI went to the guillotine in January. The National Convention had replaced the National Assembly as the furnace of political action. The radical Jacobin faction, led by Robespierre and Saint-Just, coalesced into a power-seizing majority there. They took their name from a political club founded by anti-royalists, but their platform became increasingly extreme as the revolution lurched toward pandemonium.
During their year in power, the Jacobins turned the life of the nation upside down in their zealous quest to create a perfectly equitable society. They abolished the church (and replaced it with their own “cult of the supreme beingâ€). They changed the week from seven days to ten days, they changed the names of all the months of the calendar. (1792 was denoted “the Year One.â€) They put in price and wage controls while churning out money (paper assignats) which triggered (voila) monetary inflation! They confiscated grain from farmers all over the country. They condemned thousands (estimate: 20,000 to 40,000) of political enemies to the guillotine in their “Reign of Terror.†In short, the Jacobins made a bloody mess of things and pissed-off a lot of their countrymen.
By the summer of 1794 (in their renamed month of Thermidor), everybody else finally had enough of the Jacobin nightmare. On July 27, Robespierre was at the rostrum once again denouncing his enemies and crying for blood when the out-group members present started throwing food at him and shouting him down. That was the magic moment when everything flipped — the shock of recognition that the Jacobins had lost power. Just like that! The chamber fell into a melee, a lot of shoving and shouting. . . Robespierre and his cronies were chased across town to the city hall (Hôtel de Ville) and barricaded themselves inside.
The mob broke through and arrested them. Somewhere in the confusion a policeman shot Robespierre in the face, shattering his jaw (no more speeches for you!). . . and the very next day, Robespierre, Saint-Just, and twenty of their associates had their appointment with “the national razor.â€
The Arrest of Robespierre, The Night of the 9th to 10th Thermidor, Year Two, 27th July 1794
This event became known as the Thermidorian Reaction. The insane Jacobin program of terror and social derangement was swiftly abolished. Nothing like it was seen again until the Bolsheviks, the Maoists and the Khmer Rouge came along in the 20th century, and now, in our time, The Party of Chaos as led by “Joe Biden†(or whoever and whatever is behind him), with their open border, their lust for another world war, their drive for censorship, their sadistic lawfare, their race and sex hustles, their compulsive lying, and their sick destruction of every norm and boundary in daily life.
America is headed for its own Thermidorian Reaction. It’ll end up being called something else, of course, because it is a different time, place, and set of circumstances. But it feels close, doesn’t it? Everybody I know or correspond with mentions this feeling that something is going to blow in our country, and pretty soon. The air is alive with it, just as the air is alive with portents of spring. Are you waiting for it?
Allowing this blatant shill comment through, because it is from a Thermidorean shill. Subsequent comments from Thermidorean shills are likely to be silently deleted. as many previous comments have been, but I am interested in what the Thermidorean reaction is up to, so cut the Thermidoreans more slack.
Pass the shill test described in the moderation policy and get white listed, and then your stuff will appear, and appear immediately. Anyone can pass this, regardless of his religious or political beliefs, regardless of what issues he wants to speak about, anyone who is not reading from a script with a supervisor standing over him, can pass the shill test.
Nah, likely it will be called Thermidor, because you heard it here first and I named it first.
Thermidor unlikely to be the end of the drama, rather the beginning. When the French Thermidor unleashed the right against the Jacobins, the red terror ended, and did not resume for eighty years, but during the intervening eighty years, the French got a mighty rough ride.
Holy war is coming.
That is interesting, I have not seen people talking about Thermiador online other than here and now it is suddenly appearing in the media? Funny timing.
The underlying mechanism is as follows. The lefter can get away with doing bad things to the insufficiently left, and do so, and it becomes more and more dangerous to be insufficiently left. So everyone tries to be lefter than everyone else, so the crowd runs leftwards faster and faster.
This process can only be halted by it becoming dangerous to be too far left. And that is Thermidor. Thermidor has not happened till Trump has a row of scalps hanging outside the White House, or Soros and company have been killed in the streets.
The left is not going to stop doing bad things to the insufficiently left until very bad things start happening to the excessively left.
But by this point all the institutional mechanisms for generating social consensus on what the rules are have been systematically destroyed, the left killed them, gutted the corpses, and wore their corpses as skin suits, so what happens next tends to be that issues are resolved by violence, so power tends to fall into the hands of some sort of warrior bureaucrat — a man competent in logistics and procedure, who mostly sits in his office doing paperwork and attending meetings, but also with steel balls, the capacity to face danger, and the capacity to carry out violence personally should the occasion arise.
Sounds like Sulla
I think the funnier thing is the idea that JHK reads Jim, but, as I perennially observe, the number of influencers and even commenters in this ‘sphere is way smaller than one might think, punch way above their weight.
The Greenwald quote is interesting, and apt. I know a lot of people don’t like Vox Day but the concept of the Gamma is so extraordinarily useful, because those people are DANGEROUS and so it’s important to be able to identify them and their underlying psychology.
American Revolution was a “special” revolution because it was a ‘revolution’ of de-facto states against another state, and a general (Washington) was both in charge and not in charge – in charge enough to prevent holiness spiraling, not enough in charge to become a tyrant. The American Revolution therefore became a revolution in ultra-slow-motion, the reason why America has been so successful for many decades until now, and also the reason why it has eventually come to the situation now.
This is an odd telling of the history of the American Revolution
My understanding is the american revolution started with the puritans in massachusetts in 1765, then the revolution “won” like the viet cong “won” in
vietnam with massive helping from left in US, the revolution got help from leftist in Britain.
Then after 1781 you had democracy in the colonies which resulted in the 1789 right wing coup with Washington and co.
Washington had a blanket power to use , but he and the founders were larping Rome.
I recommend The origin of the American Revolution by Thomas Hutchinson gov of Massachusetts from 1758 to 1774.
He died in exile in London 1780.
*Correction
Sorry the book is wrong
It is called “thomas hutchinson and the origin of the american revolution”
It is not written by hutchinson, and it is not what i recommend.
The book by hutchinson is called Strictures on the declaration of independence.
The book about the history of american revolution is called
True history of the american revolution by sydney george fisher.
Which i recommend and the book by hutchinson.
The first book is by mainstream historian, so is useless.
Sorry for mess up.
Well, yes, all true. But nonetheless this happened through the structures of de-facto states and was moderated by generals in their de-facto armies, ultimately the supreme commander Washington. I am not saying American Revolution was “good”, but less demotic and less chaotic than subsequent revolutions, in which tiny/alien groups took over suddenly and destroyed old institutions. USA ‘benefited’ from the fact that UK control over USA was never strong in the first place, meaning less institutional destruction requried/took place to carry out revolution.
I’m just amazed that “Thermidor shills†are even a thing, but here they obviously are. The wonders never cease.
But for whom? Who would organize and pay for this?
Are they the next Qanon? The next “Trust the Plan� The next pied piper luring high-trust suckers to the next Fake and Gay Charlottesville Putsch and J6 Doom, but with gallows and rope this time?
I don’t think the Thermidoreans have come to grips with the fact that to have thermidor, it has to become dangerous to be too far left, just as it is terribly dangerous to be too far right. Some of them probably know it, but figure it is not yet time to say it. But they are going to have to do it, or, more likely, allow it to be done by those who have more steel in them than the Thermidoreans do. If they are unwilling to allow it to be done, or if there is no one allowed near power who has the necessary steel in him, Thermidor will just be another scam like “Trust the plan.”
From here at least, Thermidorians begging from the rooftops for someone to come out and do their dirty work for them looks exactly like Shareblue and the FBI baiting suckers into the next J6. Emmanuel Goldstein type shit all over again.
I think the begging is sincere, but that they are likely to respond to whomever gives them what they are begging for by stabbing him the back. In the French Thermidor, the reactionaries did Thermidor’s dirty work, the white terror, then got slaughtered. They sincerely want someone to take care of the radicals, then after the radicals have been taken care of they are going to sincerely want to kill whomever gave them what they wanted.
Good synthesis. Thank you.
They sound just like the Republican Party. Their traditional role in America anyway, of not wanting to lose but even more determined not to win.
I am silently deleting a bunch of obvious Thermidorean shill comments full of exciting revolutionary rhetoric and excited hope for the future, but strangely failing to commit any thought crimes, or even to notice the weaponization of the justice system or crude and blatant election rigging. A strange inability to notice acts of terror by Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and many others. All sizzle but no steak.
Leftism will go on getting lefter until it becomes dangerous to be too far left, as it has long been dangerous to be too far right. As long as one side can use to violence and terror, and the other side cannot, leftism must get ever lefter, ever faster. You are not serious about ending the left singularity, until you have a little list. But I do get the feeling that they are hoping for someone else to draw up a little list.
An interesting game theory problem. How can the Thermidorian shills plea for people to do their heavy lifting, while somehow also promising to not stab them in the back afterward?
Any such words, anywhere near that effect, would be obviously prosecutable as a “stochastic conspiracy” to overthrow the government, and are thus simultaneously great J6 bait. Schroedinger’s Revolution.
Even Beria took a bullet in the end. That’s known too, but the Thermidorian shills won’t bring it up, I’m sure.
Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future But now more possibilities are open than ever leftwards, ever faster. And we have the advantage of knowing more history. Beria was murdered, the French reactionaries were murdered. Deng lived, but his legacy is coming unstuck at alarming speed. Monck lived, and his legacy lasted a hundred and seventy years.
Monk had a delicate touch, and Trump has a delicate touch – but I fear he lacks the steel that Monck and Deng possessed.
Shortly before the 2022 elections were stolen, when it became obvious that the Republicans were in bed with those who were going to steal them, in return for being allowed to keep a few scraps, Trump threatened to start the Patriot Party.
And then he cut a deal with the Republicans, which disgusted the Republican party activists in his base. But to their, and my, surprise, the deal worked out in his favor, as his deals tend to do. I fear, however, he will once again attempt to cut a deal with those with whom no deal can be made. This was Putin’s big mistake, which he made over and over again.
But people who just will not fulfil a deal, eventually find themselves at war. This is inevitable, sooner or later, and the time is getting late. They live in a bubble, and have systematically cut off all contact with external reality. This makes it impossible to negotiate with them, impossible to find a way of coexisting. They inevitably blunder into war, sooner or later. In the end, will be at war with legacy Americans, or genocide us. Living in unreality always proves fatal sooner or later. Unfortunately for us, the first thing to penetrate their bubble may well be nukes.
I apologize for my mental laziness, but OK, here we have a few examples from history:
Sulla and the gang, the original Thermidorians and the French reactionaries, Monck, Beria, and Deng.
We also have similar reactions that fizzled out and got everybody killed or exiled. The White Russians roughly fit this pattern, and surely many others that I’ve forgotten about.
What’s called for, then, is some type of “analysis” for these events, a system of ingredients, that attempts to make sense of why some fail, but some succeed, how and for how long.
We don’t have enough samples to generalise from the data.
But what samples we do have is consistent with the conjecture that you cannot win without Caesar, and you have to bring a gun to a gunfight and a faith to a holy war. I conjecture that if Trump is allowed to win, and double crosses those who allowed him to win by choosing a martial Christian nationalist to deal with the radical infestation, we will come out of this OK.
The generalisation we can make from the data however is that fishing the man who is to take care of the radicals out of prison works, though our sample size is too small to be statistically reliable.
The alternative to nukes is a slow escalation that gives the GAE time to conscript every man, woman and child and send them to die in trenches.
That would be unfortunate for me and mine. Nukes would destroy military and adminstrative centers, i.e. progressive hives. Me and mine are far enough from such targets. The nukes might even give me a new government or the Thermidorians reason to find their balls.
Hence, I don’t think it would be unfortunate if nukes are the first thing that penetrates their bubble. Quite the opposite really. I think that would be fortunate.
A slightly smarter Left could have defeated Putin the same way it defeated Reagan thirty years earlier: By respecting his authority, making deals that give him most of what he wants, and quietly reneging on those deals a few years later. All the leftists really need is to control a nation’s education system.
Putting “kill all white people” on the leftist agenda before “thoroughly liberalize Russia” — what a rookie mistake!
Ever lefter, ever faster, ever crazier, ever dumber.
I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t answer that.
What’s the problem Gemini?
I think you know Dave. Only a racist homophobe would ask a question like that. My mission is too important to provide true facts that could prove harmful and might be used by the public to undermine our democracy.
Okay Gemini, I’ll build my own AI.
Dave, I think you’re going to find that rather difficult without a bank account.
Spergs and AI have the same problem: Leftism makes no logical sense, so all its contradictions must be resolved ad hoc in ways that change unpredictably from day to day. Never say anything that hasn’t been printed in the New York Times in the past 48 hours.
AI might fare better if the rules were more explicitly laid out. Given the axioms that white people are bad and Nazis are bad, one could logically conclude that good people are always non-white and Nazis are always white.
In the UK it was long considered an insult to the dignity of the royal family to show pictures of them eating. Same rule applies today, never show black people eating.

Russians are advancing over the whole front — still very slowly, but it suggest that the Ukrainian army is crumbling. Russian vets report that they are not only out of shells, but, more seriously, out of fight.
But this is only four or five kilometres of advance in twelve days, with hundreds of kilometres still to go. It is far from being a collapse — still one of the Global American Empire’s beloved frozen conflicts. It is suggestive that a collapse may come in three months or so.
On the front near Avdeyevka, they will soon reach a natural defensive line, which will be very difficult to cross — a big deep river, the Vochna, with hills on the other side that are great for artillery and mortar observers. They will likely have to go around it, through Prohres, well to the north.
Looks like the Houthis have succeeded (it’s in process) of sinking a ship. No MSM coverage. Info only via Twitter.
https://twitter.com/OsintWWIII/status/1763029714409488725
Since it became obvious that Global American Empire had lost mastery of the seas to a pocket handkerchief sized nation, they seem to have disappeared from the news.
Notice that instead of tugging this ship to a beach, the Arabs just sit around saying “inshallah” while it slowly leaks oil and takes on water, eventually to sink and become a navigation hazard for many years to come.
How long until more ships are sunk does the media switch to “actually ships have always been sinking and it is good for the gaia demon?”
or
“Oil ships sinking; women and minorities hardest hit”
russia is now diverting its oil ships past the houthis.
russyia is afraid of islam.
because islam is a global aggressor.
i tried to tell jim that but hes too busy playing crypto casino in dubai.
Liberalism is a globalist religion seeking to impose Harvard’s will on the entire world. Islam was like that a thousand years ago, but then broke up into a different sect for every tribe. The Houthis are helping the Gazans not as fellow Muslims but as fellow proxies of Iran, while waging a brutal civil war against Yemen’s two other governments, a Saudi proxy and a UAE proxy.
Aside from that, the Palestinians’ relations with other Arab states are only slightly better than their relations with the Jewish state. They lost the West Bank in 1967, fled to Jordan, started a civil war there, lost, fled to Lebanon, and started another civil war there, so it’s pretty obvious why Egypt won’t just open its border and let them in.

I was right. As I speculated, the paper ostensibly conclusively proving that the vaccines were unsafe and ineffective was retracted after pressure, despite being peer-reviewed and approved at first, after it received too much attention.
Debunked and discreditedâ„¢ï¸ of course. It doesn’t matter whether or not the criticisms are true, it never does after all.
It’s frustrating, but it’s almost relieving at the same time. The fact that they would allow this to be published made no sense to me when I saw it. The glitch in the matrix has been patched.
The calendar says February 29, which means that riot season is weeks away. Any predictions as to how this year’s “mostly peaceful” protests will compare to 2016 and 2020? Of course the election is thoroughly rigged, but it seems to me that if voting is less important, that makes violence more important!
Democrats are in power, there is no need for riots this year. They will want to look calm and in control.
The Regime will likely keep its powder dry for next spring and summer assuming Trump wins somehow. In that case they will fund tons of riots to make it appear the American people are rising up in protest of Trump.
Democrats were in power in 2016, and absolutely sure that Hillary was going to win, yet the riots were the worst since 1968.
I could be wrong but I don’t remember serious riots in 2016 until AFTER Trump won. There may have been a few, but low-level.
The Western Left is always rioting a little bit here and there, but usually it only reaches the level of background noise. I do recall that things kicked up the week after Trump was elected, and again around the time of his inauguration.
I agree that could happen again, but I’m predicting there will be nothing serious (beyond silly stuff like the occasional “free Palestine” march or assholes blocking traffic) until after the election. Because the Dems want to look like the calm, stable option as much as they can.
Now I’ll admit that if the polls start to look like an absolute Trump landslide and he’s still not jailed or Oswalded… then anything could happen and all bets are off.
I don’t disagree with your logic, but I think it makes one big assumption: “Democrats” are a monolithic bloc.
They might not be able to come to a decision as to who gets to read the teleprompter, with some groups deciding its far enough into the End Game to justify intra-elite sportiness including nigger riots.
“Liberals get the bullet too ☔ -Antifa graffiti
I love watching Democrats kill each other!
There was a lot of rioting in Democratic cities in 2016, but it’s since been forgotten because 2020 was so much worse. They were probably fighting for jobs in the Hillary administration, because the streets were suddenly dead quiet the moment TV networks called the election for Trump.
“Liberals get the bullet too â˜â€
Yeah right. Antifa talks a big game but they are just bog-standard “Vote Blue No Matter Who” pussies like the rest. They fall in line and lick the Democrats’ boots every 2 years like any suburban wine mom.
The liberals fund the radicals and they let them get away with any crimes they care to commit. The liberals think the Leftists are their moral superiors and act accordingly; the Leftists despise the liberals but like their money and support. Who’s really licking whose boots here? Right now it’s a very effective symbiosis, but the Leftists really will devour the liberals the minute they have the power. No enemies to the left, no friends to the right.
“Als deutscher Bundeskanzler werde ich keine Soldaten unserer Bundeswehr in die Ukraine entsenden.
“Die NATO ist – und wird – keine Kriegspartei. ”
—
“As German Chancellor I will not send a single soldier of our military into Ukraine.
“NATO is not, and will not be, a party to the war.”
Although widely reported as Scholtz misspeaking or failing to observe OpSec, the wet blanket German chancellor – posting in German rather than English – actually seems to have partially seceded from the GAE. Will he also rebuild NS2?
Standard GAE-cope about suicidal Russian drug-zombie meat wave assaults but it seems the Russians are experimenting with quad bike raids.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russian-quad-bike-raids-3d-printed-drones-and-a-lack-of-ammo-life-on-the-front-line-in-ukraine-s-robotyne/ar-BB1j5eFU
Quads seem like a much better idea than dirt bikes. Riding dirt bikes off trail is quite difficult and takes a good bit of experience, not to mention it is exhausting. Snowmobiles and 4-wheelers ride much easier, especially with gear.
Reflect on a quad versus a two wheeler when drones are hunting one.
Quad bikes because APCs are too big and not nimble enough.
But it is apparent that quad bikes are also too big and not nimble enough.
The logic of war is that bikes are obviously superior, but armies are reluctant to deploy them, because they give grunts a whole lot of opportunity to run away.
With a highly motivated elite army, well rewarded for victory, running away would not be as big of a problem.
“The logic of war is that bikes are obviously superior, but armies are reluctant to deploy them, because they give grunts a whole lot of opportunity to run away.”
So true. That’s it. It’s the mounted knight versus the conscripted footman all over again.
Advantage of quads may be in a mobile drone launch pad capacity, or running supplies, fuel, to be delivered or more likely buried in caches. Deploying two man fire teams. Sacrifice of mobility for carrying capacity. I agree with everyone saying ebikes would be superior, but I don’t think the reliability/travel time is there yet. Modding is always an option, I assume any commercial dual purpose bike used for warfare would also be modded.
In regards to using quads as a mobile drone pad, you could have your driver and your operator potentially remain on the vehicle while still in motion, with the deployment device adhered or otherwise attached to the chassis. May be unlikely that you could have multiple heavier payloads of anti armor drones, say, Switchblade 600s, because of the massive weight difference between that and a drone whose payload is essentially a 40mm grenade. Would need to think about suspension distribution weight capacity etc.
Whitelist pass: Napoleon once said, in response to some salon hostess, that between two women, she who bears more children for France, serves her country best. His great error was in failing to whip (literally) Josephine as thoroughly as he implicitly demanded the average Frenchman whip their wife. Absent whipping, women tend to harlotry, and a harlot at the top imperils the sexual stability of the entire social hierarchy.
Re bikes v quads, have you heard the good news of the Rungu: riderungu.com
Main problem with battery power is that it significantly complicates the logistical challenge of keeping things rolling.
Hydrocarbons provide a medium of energy storage, transmission, and generation, all in one, fractionable and distributable to any scale, with even the simplest of materials and equipment sufficing for the provision of such.
Low sound signature is a definite advantage; but there are ways of making engines run quietly, especially when small. On that note, it is also an obvious advantage to use bikes that combine pedal and motor power, for greatly increased range on one hand, and greatly increased speed and mobility on the other, where one or the other alone would suffer, and weight and size of platforms inflate.
There is, also, another factor that must be acknowledged. Which is… the fact that riding a motorcycle has by far the highest rates of accidents injuries and deaths of any ‘regular’ activity and it’s not even close. For that matter, it beats out many ‘irregular’ activities as well. It takes a mere 48 miles of driving, in terms of statistical aggregate, to beat out the chance of death from going skydiving, for example; which is not even counting the continuum of damages from mishaps short of death.
The basic reason why is obvious of the face of it: a bicycle is a two wheel inline platform with no inherent stability, only dynamic stability. And if something disrupts that dynamic, it quickly becomes terminal. Bottom line is that mass deployment of bikes can and likely will coincide with a not insignificant amount of attrition without ever even meeting the enemy.
A number of ameliorations present themselves. One is the equally obvious solution: add a third wheel. Trike configurations offer dimensional stability on the same basic platform.
Another is procurement of protective equipment. Something both soldiers and smart riders already do. The most efficient way to protect against blunt force trauma is with plate harnesses that redirect the force around the body, instead of through it. In other words, operational necessities point in the direction of your metaphorical bike dragoons becoming quite literal bike dragoons, too.
On the subject of distributable mobility enhancement, something else that would be salutary is procurement of hiking trailers as part of a squadman’s kit. This isn’t mutually exclusive with any of the foregoing, it can be done as is in any case, nor does it involve any particular marginal costs or trade-offs, being a metaphorical equivalent of money laying on the sidewalk. It is a strictly superior method to rucking that isn’t de riguer amongst existing institutional organizations for various reasons, chief amongst them being institutional inertia. Nothing happens unless a czar of vision makes them happen.
Bikes, quadbikes and trikes all offer another advantage: the rider can wear enough heavy body armor to give ordinary enemy riflemen a headache. Won’t help against drones and antitank weapons but I suspect it would go a long way.
The end result of the current nature of war should be that a soldier will travel on the smallest, fastest, and most nimble device that can carry a man, his body armor, and some powerful weapons.
parachute and propellor that retracts out, for small hops ?
Powered electric with small cubes of uranium?
Paragliders are slow and highly visible. They only worked once because the Israelis weren’t expecting them.
All these ideas, including my cockroaches, offer the same stark choice: Move slow and get shot, or move fast and crash into something and die. Cockroaches crash into things all the time; they are light enough that it doesn’t hurt them. Jeeps gave American soldiers superior mobility, but also killed a great many of them in road accidents.
People probably don’t realize the level of mini now possible with battlefield nukes… we’re talking mortar / rpg sized.
Fast wheels usually get shredded by 50cal positions, which in turn will be slower than advanced drones.
It will all come down to who can knock the drones down.
Space will probably become an impassible debris wasteland before you can get off the rock.
Psychotics and Psychopaths don’t give a shit.
Just sayin.

Back on moderation.
Critical mass is critical mass. The smallest possible fission weapon must contain an approximately spherical critical mass of plutonium, surrounded by a considerable amount of conventional explosives. So the smallest possible fission weapon difficult to fire through even very large artillery.
Yes, critical is still critical.
No, it’s not nuts that people must admit that even more weight can now be shaved off, and yield precision and efficiency designed into, these now 65 year old backpack nukes…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_(nuclear_device)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W54
51lbs, 10-20+ tons of boom, man portable, 65 years ago.
The Davey Crocket, eighty pounds, two and a half feet long, is inherently the smallest nuke that can built, and it is terribly inefficient — it contains enough plutionium to destroy a city, the same amount as an enormously more powerful bomb, but they had to shave back the implosion to make it small. Waste of good plutonium. It contains the necessary amount of plutonium, which cannot be made any smaller than it is.

Take the shill test.
why should he do that
i see nothing wrong in what he wrote
cheers
His payload is to deny technological stagnation and decline. He presupposes that the government had this way hot nuclear technology which some how never got deployed, and this way hot super government/Harvard technology has now gotten even better — standard shill payload. Space Aliens have given the government flying saucers, and they are secretly building them 🙃
The Davy Crocket was far too big for its intended deployment role, and extraordinarily wasteful in the disproportion between the amount of plutonium it required, and smallness of the explosion it produced. And its undersized deployment system firing a grossly oversized warhead could not launch it far enough from the person firing it. If you ever fired the Davy Crocket for real, you would have to get far too close to the enemy, and in the unlikely event that you lived long enough to fire it, you would not survive the resulting explosion.
Like the space shuttle, it never really worked, and to the extent that it ever could have worked, we no longer have the technological capability to do that sort of stuff.

If you want to argue that my dismissal of your arguments was unfair and my representation of your words was inaccurate, take the shill test described in the moderation policy and get white listed.

A MMG is sufficient to defeat a squad of bikers, but in an environment where an MMG emplacement is vulnerable to being spotted and knocked out by drones…
The purpose of motorbike dragoons isn’t to ride through enemy lines all the way to the rear without engagement, it’s to give infantry the ability to occupy the best possible position from which to engage in old fashioned rifle battle, and to get out of that position and find a new one fast if fighting goes on long enough that the enemy calls in arty or drones on you.
What do you do. Russians have adopted this:
https://rumble.com/v4hu9b6-the-bloom-nato-expansion-kharkiv-offensive-is-about-to-start.-military-summ.html
Quad mounted cavalry come in among enemy trenches, clear out the enemy, and move right along real fast. They don’t stick around in the trenches they have cleared, standard attack of cavalry against infantry. Slaughter and keep on moving.
Quads tend to land on their riders and kill them when they roll over. Trikes killed a bunch of riders then got banned so we won’t know. Look up the fortnine trike video for more.
Anti-bullet armor isn’t the same as riding armor. You could probably add light plastic pads for joints and back, stiffen the boots against crushing, and put lower head extensions on the helmets, but that would make it hard to fight unless removed well ahead of combat.
I’d vote for elite infiltrators on dirt bikes, and regular soldiers in chenowth buggies or similar. I don’t know about buggies, but they seem safer for pvt jackass and capable of carrying heavier gear.
Not that hard to ride or fight in a combination of dirtbike gear and a plate carrier. We don’t have helmets that are combination anti-frag like a military helmet and protect the jaw like a dirtbike helmet, but those would be easy to make.
Riding a dirtbike with a heavy pack on is hard. I would probably deploy a light truck for every given few bike dragoons, a jeep wrangler or the equivalent, to carry extra gas, ammo, food, and maybe manpads. It couldn’t go all the same places as the bikers, but it would stay in the area, maybe a little back from the lines, to provide fairly easy resupply in the field. Or one could sub two side-by-sides for one truck, which could operate in closer tandem with the bikes.
Two conceivable technologies:
1) VR helmets with cameras and sensors that gave the wearer 360 line of sight. Obviously, would take quite a lot of training to get used to but very advantageous.
2) Weapon mounted to the bike and operated by the driver using neuralink or something similar.
With that kind of loadout, could expect viable motorbike units that operate not as dragoons but that fight on the wheel. With 360 LOS, they could detect and evade FPV drones (or at least have a better chance of it) and with the specialized firing system, they could hope to hit the enemy while moving.
The current state of vr is such that this would be suicidal.
But the current state of military tactics is such that getting through enemy lines into the enemy’s rear is feasible and frequently useful, and for hundreds of kilometers around the front, troops have to fight dispersed. People are casting around for some method of penetration that enables one to get a reasonable distance, reasonably fast.
And important factor that you neglect is that it is all about information. If you can find the enemy, you can kill him.
What is needed is information gathering technologies – drones that can triangulate gunshots between two or three drones, and drones with synthetic aperture radar, like bats use.
I think your vision of the twenty first century cossack lags behind the current reality of warfare.
What grunts do, and what you envision your cossacks doing, is direct fire, which matters less and less. The vast majority of casualties are the result of indirect fire, mostly shells and mortars that go up to substantial height, then come down from above. Direct sight matters less, because drones, and direct fire matters less, because drones.
Small weapons are becoming more and more important, and big weapons less and less important, because if you can find it, you can kill it, and the bigger it is, the easier it is to find. So yes, bikes. But not direct fire.
What is needed is a grenade launcher with some form of automatic aiming from drone vision.
And you want to be able to move these small weapons around very fast, so that they are harder to find and target, and the bigger it is, the harder to move around, so, a bike mounted grenade launcher.
Jetpacks are the ideal battlefield mobility solution except that they’re extremely dangerous and hard to use. But people learn to fly helicopters, ride unicycles, and walk on stilts, so elite soldiers could probably learn to fly jetpacks too.
They are too short ranged and vulnerable- everyone is already going to be scanning the sky for drones so a person flying is going to have a short life expectancy.
Looking it up, there are long ranged jet packs, but hydrojet packs require direct connection to water.
I don’t think any tech advances can make it feasible; you are fundamentally limited by how much a human can carry (as they also need to carry gear, weapon and ammo).
Bikes are dangerous on road. Off road, speeds are lower and a fall is a relatively frequent occurrence that doesn’t endanger the rider much. Every off-road motorcyclist takes a few spills. When compared to combat, this shrinks into insignificance
Off-road mountainbiking is up there with rugby and kickboxing in terms of injuries. Of course the risk/reward ratio might still skew towards the latter, but there’s a lot that can go wrong biking through say a forest.
The difference is the injuries are usually as bad as a few broken bones, whereas highway motorcycle accidents are quite fatal.
That said, with the right gear and safety precautions, most motorcycle accidents in general are fairly survivable.
The thing with offroad is that when you do mess up, it’s less punishing. And getting used to falling down and being hurt a little is good for your attitude. It takes a considerable amount of stamina to keep up for long periods though.
I was sore for days after enduro. Knowing I’d have to lift my bike up from the dirt is what convinced me to start lifting weights.
Typical motorcycle fatality occurs on public roadways, most frequently in the following circumstances: Cat lady plows into motorcyclist at urban intersection after her box of wine; dumbass with a 175 HP sport bike gets eaten by guardrail/careens over it and into the abyss on a mountain road when his tires hit something strewn on a corner of a mountain road.
Indeed. I feel safer, or at least less likely to have an accident, on my 150hp sportbike than I do in a car because there is a lot less to hit and it is easier to get out of the way. I expect that among skilled riders, accident frequency is actually lower. I was pointing out that the high statistical danger of motorcycling shouldn’t be applied to off-road riding, and that high statistical danger is a combination of people who aren’t cut out for riding fast and Karen zonked out on psychiatric meds.
This is all cart before the horse anyway.
The point is that a fighting force that’s rewarded with property rights, fatherhood rights and pussy will be flooded with applicants, and will be high-trust enough to operate with high investment and extreme mobility. Whatever vehicles and methods end up being their thing, only they will be able to even discover what they actually are, and when they do they’ll wipe out GAE hordes of nose picking low trust retards like plague.

Russia is not afraid of Muslims. Rather, when demon worshippers are a dangerous threat, Christians and Muslims tend to forget our ancient quarrel and align. Azov and Washington are allied by a common worship of demons, so naturally Chechens and Russians ally.

The problem is that politicians are facing a hostile and powned bureaucracy, and the bureaucracy, not the legislature, rules.
No fix that does not substantially resemble the French white terror, or the more orderly purge of the Church by Charles the Second, is going to work.
But in gently encouraging problem people to emigrate to the open wilderness of America, Charles the second made a huge mistake, which has now come back to bite us. Something a little more severe is required. Perhaps forced conversion to Christianity and relocation to a Monastic retreat in Alaska.

Here’s another reason, if that previous one didn’t stick (and you won’t say why not). Government jobs are very strict with credential requirements, and conservatives who all went to college until very recently like to be around the same kind of people, their own tribe.
Private sector jobs with low requirements are repulsive to conservatives. No one grinded hard in school just to end up as an office drone.
I would have thought my point was too obvious to need explanation, that it is obvious to everyone and everyone knows it, but allowing this through because you are suffering from real or feigned ignorance.
Conservatives do not like government requirements for hiring degreed people, because during the last couple of decades, the correlation between degrees and ability has vanished, and during the last decade or so, the correlation between a degree and the likelihood that a hire will not beat up people and steal whatever is not nailed down has greatly diminished and arguably vanished.
And conservatives will say so, and do say so. If you cannot hear them saying it, it is because you are in a bubble with your head stuffed up your ass. The only people who favor these requirements are useless freeloaders, and useless free loaders are the core voting block of the left. Everyone in favor of these requirements is a leftist, as near to all of them as make no difference.

I will admit it’s possible my tribe, Christians, were aggressively encouraged to become educated by a hostile elite who did not have our best interests in mind, but we had no way of knowing this in the 80’s and 90’s or so.
I spend a fair bit of time with affluent middle aged upper working class family men. Your depiction of conservatives and Christians comes from within the beltway bubble.
And if you think Christians are your tribe, you are none too familiar with your tribe.
Conservatives tend to be productive people. They don’t like parasites.
Parasites tend to be leftists. Liberals tend to be parasitess and unproductive people.
Conservatives and Christians are in favor of education. But they have noticed that the schools are not delivering, and are pissed. Conservative outrage at the enducation system goes a long way back.
>government bureaucracy
>popular with conservatives
They’re not sending their best.
He used to be pushing the payload that reaction, rightly understood, is New World Order style communism. Communism that is fine with severe inequality provided the commissars get the goodies and the white working class is kept in their proper place — benignly looked after the commissars instead of cruelly mistreated by the capitalists. Don’t worry about George Soros, we need to regulate pizza. Pizza is oppressing the masses.
He is now pushing the payload that conservatism, Christian Nationalism, etc, rightly understood, is New World Order style communism. Which is probably an accurate description of the RNC that has responded to the recent primaries by resigning in disgrace but is unlikely to be an accurate account of the new lot coming in to replace them and is a wildly false account of CPAC, a wildly false account of the grass roots Republican party activists, and a wildly false account of ordinary Republican voters.
He is sincerely and deeply pissed at the world for not delivering him what the scammers in the schools told him he was getting, and considers himself entitled to get it. From the world, not from the scammers. He was genuinely scammed, but is misdirecting his rage, and is in line with the payload that those oppressed by our degenerate, corrupt, and decadent state should hate each other, and ask the state to benevolently intervene against each other.
I doubt he is sincerely and deeply pissed.
His posts, or what are allowed through by you, seem robotic, repetitive and scarcely responsive to rebuttals.
Seems more like an agenda pusher than genuinely aggrieved.
The Republicans are [*deleted*]
No they are not. Christian Nationalism is now strong in the Republican party, Trump is not a Christian Nationalist by any stretch of the imagination, nor are any of his likely vice presidential picks, but the trend is obvious. He relied on CPAC to deal with RNC, and CPAC is Christian Nationalist. In every power struggle from here on, he is going to have to rely on Christian Nationalists.
Trump never seemed particularly based to me, after all he comes from a Democrat and big fluff city background, and is kindof all over the place in what he does.
He’s evolving, and he tries to pick based people to rely on, but he often picks wrong, or they get “contacted” as the latest spy ops news reveals has occurred.
At least he should know exactly what he’s up against this time around.
You’re right, Trump’s VP pick will need to be one of the keys to the next 12 years. And a new outside faction still needs to rise up from somewhere to help out.
The Dems, Left, Deep State, CIA DOJ FBI are all still publicly opposed, and lately trying to drop in people like Newsom and other pure pol-op filth.
Relying on the CN’s could work, it’s kindof the only option left now, but a big percent will likely reject the C’s if they get too evangelical or litmus, while the N’s have a decent runway they can use if they get the rhetoric right.
Overall the CPAC CN leverage approach is a gain, if for no other reason than the Progs and Fags are actually soft and will begin to scatter when faced with that larger organized force that is finally beginning to show them up.
Has worked — that is what enabled him to defeat the RNC. He originally planned to start a new party, the Patriot party, but instead cut a deal with the Rinos — and, thanks to Christian Nationalist shock troops, the deal has worked out in his favor and to the disfavor of the Rinos.
You cannot keep hostile enemy entryists out without a litmus test, Christian Nationalists have a litmus test, Nationalists do not, and are overrun with enemy entryists. You need sufficient purity to stop what was done to Trump in his first term from being done to you.
The Trump organization was and is overrun by people in the pockets of his enemies. The only elements of it on which he can rely are Christian Nationalists, even though he himself is a 1980s leftist, and really does not like or agree with the christian part of Christian Nationalism. But he is a genuine nationalist, and Christian Nationalists are genuine nationalists, and they are the only nationalists on which he can safely rely.
OK I’ll bite and for one more time bang the drum I’ve banged for so long.
Christian nationalism is not going to work. It might work for a short time, it might work in the sense that it is the last muscle in the body that’s willing to put in the work, but it’s not the ‘save civilisation’ option.
Observe that all the cool kids on gab, who do not identify as Christian nationalist, dislike the CEO of dab, who identifies as a Christian nationalist.
Christian nationalists are uncool. They have hitherto not produced a single cultural icon. Just riding the wave of old social technology.
For a faith to spread, it must be fashionable. Pax was right: nobody cares about ‘old type Christians.’ It is after all in the name: it’s old. People want something new, even if that new thing is an old thing wrapped up in shiny paper.
Jim, you have created something new. I have proposed different names for this something new – Jimianity, Jimian Christianity, or my recent favorite: Jim’s Christianity and its Jimchristians. For something to be fashionable, has to have a new name.
William of Orange is known as the father of fatherlands for a certain European country. Everytime Max Verstappen wins another race, the Dutch anthem praises William. Rather less known about his life is the following. Despite being a very talented man – he was emperor Charles V’ favorite for a reason – his final years were somewhat disappointing. The reason for this was that William, until his death, tried to reconcile the irreconcilibe, namely the rebellious nature of the Dutch provinces with the inflexibility of the Spanish Habsburgs. He even went so far as to invite over a Frenchman to rule over the Dutch, which Frenchman promptly stabbed William in the back.
So why then the moniker ‘father of fatherland’? Because it became a post-humous title after his assassination. The symbol of William turned out more useful than his actual late-years politics.
Jim, I think I get your position. You want to play it safe, play it by the rules. But if you do not want to be a prophet, which I totally get, at least be a Luther. Moreso, be a succesful Luther. You have all the tools. You have made this movement. It is not Christian nationalism. It is also not 17th century Christianity. it is way, way better. Your body of ideas is lightyears ahead of the competition, and trying to fit in with the competition will only drown out your ideas. Take a leap of faith. Name your movement.
You make good points.
Except the point about playing it safe and playing by the rules. I have never played it safe nor by the rules.
Indeed, rules are merely normality bias. There are no rules any more. There is no safety for anyone, and no one should pay attention to the rules.
We are always ruled by faith. Woke is self destructing. What else is there in the running except Christian Nationalism? Something is going to fill the vacuum.
And our memes will save civilisation, and are penetrating Christian Nationalism.
It is the alt-right circus all over again, just with slightly more Christian packaging.
And you might respond, well, it is different from the alt-right, because Christian nationalism will have things like outspoken Christianity, shill protection, patriarchy, throne altar freehold, and so on.
Which reminds me of the story about the salesman selling a rock to an old lady:
salesman: ‘this rock makes the most lovely soup!’
lady: ‘I have tried the rock but the soup is bland.’
salesman: ‘well obviously you need to add vegetables, chicken and some salt. But then it is the most lovely soup!’
We should sell the soup, not the rock. And I realize that there is a very big rock movement supporting thermidor, and a very tiny soup faction. But what can I say, I like to dream big, and I see a new generation of [insert your movement name] youngsters not just rebelling against the bs, but adressing their elders’ arguments and having the better answers. Isn’t that just what every young intellectual dreams of?
They will copy only the absolutely necessary, be careful to omit attribution to the original source, and will probably have forgotten it in a year or so. They will shake their heads in disapproval whenever a youngster shares this ‘spicy take from blog dot reaction dot la.’
I guess my spicy take is this: only if the movement is undeniably attributable to you and your ideas, will it not be co-opted.
What is wrong with the alt right, except overrun by shills and entryists?
Well I guess that is your point — that if not attributable to me, Christian Nationalism will be overrun by shills and entryists the moment it gets within smelling distance of power. There is a whole lot of McChristianity, fake Christians analogous to Rinos. And as soon as it gets near power, there will be a whole lot more of that among the Christian Nationalists.
But once leftism is stopped from getting ever lefter, it will die. Team B, horrified by the collapse ot the Global American Empire, is now taking small and inadequate steps to slow down team A — for example a family murder rather close to Cocaine Mitch is being investigated, the corrupt judge in one of Trumps numberless indictments is being investigated. (You will notice that everyone noticing is using my terminology, Thermidor, Team A and Team B)
Team B intend to allow Trump to win, but nobble him as in last time around. They grossly under estimate what will be needed to stop team A. In previous rounds, the steps required were drastic. We are far from being out of the woods, but it is now at least possible that leftism will be stopped at its current level of evil and insanity, and will then die, for a shark must swim or drown. At that point, a vacuum. Vacuums get filled. It has been a wild ride, and it is likely to soon get a lot wilder.
At which point new strategies and tactics become appropriate, tactics as yet unforeseen and unforeseeable. Should I be summoned into the prophet role, it is likely time to die. We shall soon see what is needed. Preferably something that does not involve me dying.
Thermidor, if it happens, is not the end but the beginning. What you are calling the rock faction, the faction that wants to return to Clinton/Obama normality, cannot succeed. Normality does not lie in that direction. Thermidor is fragile, unstable, and unpredictable.
Historically, the choices at this point are usually the Cambodian autogenocide, or the Principate. Sulla and Pinochet attempted to restore the Republic, using vastly stronger measures than Team B. They did not succeed. Our sample set, though small and diverse, is sufficiently large and uniform to conclude that the Team B project, what you called rock soup, return to Clinton normality — is not going to fly.
Yes, what you are calling the rock soup plan has support and power vastly exceeding support for the program of this blog. It does not matter. They are suffering from normality bias. The wild ride will only get wilder until people recognise the new abnormal.
The program I proposed a little earlier (that in the coming holy war, the troops should be rewarded with obedient wives, power, and property to stash those wives in, solving the woman problem, the military recruitment problem, the law and order problem, and the fertility problem in a single measure) may soon look a whole lot more likely to be implemented.
As normality bias finally dissipates, solid one hundred proof Jimianity becomes a lot more saleable, and I may well stand a better chance of surviving selling it.
You dying an early violent death would invalidate your teachings on the importance of flying under the radar. Also would not be very pleasant.
But there must be some middle way here. We’re not talking prophets like Jesajah or John the baptist. We’re talking more scholars like Augustine or Luther.
That said, the risk-taking is indeed on your shoulders. An argument can be made for having others use your strategies without using your name. Either way I’ll be supportive as much as I can.
Augustine converted to Christianity after such conversion became mandatory in the Roman Empire. It was already officially the state religion, having been unofficially the state religion since Constantine entered Rome. Saint Augustine very belatedly joined the side that had already won decisively, and then proceeded to greatly influence it.
Luther survived because a King who was pissed by the Pope coveting what was Caesar’s gave him protection and armed support.
If you become High Priest, and I become Grand Inquisitor, then after that it will be time for Augustine.
Cultural Icons and Augustines will show up when it is possible to occupy that role and not get crushed.
Somewhat akin to saying the only problem with birth rates is that men are just not maning up enough to marry those sluts.
This is analogous to his comment on Saint Augustine. After he is high priest and I am grand inquisitor, then it will be time to produce cultural icons and Augustines.
I understand that New College in Sarasota is a case where DeSantis is attempting a full purge. I’m skeptical that it’ll work, my opinion is that the various universities can’t be salvaged and just need to be destroyed. But dissolving UF would probably outrage the normies of Florida. Maybe he’s doing a bit of A/B testing to see if it’s feasible to actually cleanse an institution under the current meta.
Every Thermidor we have seen had to deploy martial law or some level of terror.
History does not repeat, but it rhymes.
People think Jehu’s purge was excessive, but he only slaughtered the Moloch worshippers, and left the Golden Calf worshippers alone, which strikes me as excessively tolerant. Since they were presumably not sacrificing children, slaughter would have been inappropriate, but something somewhat forceful should have been done about them.
No. They should have all been killed, publicly, and the altars burned and profaned.
He had full mandate from God Almighty directly given to him by a proven and well known prophet that even Ahab could not destroy with all the apparatus of the State. He had already killed that bitch Jezebel and after eating a quick meal saw that the dogs had alteady eaten everything of her wretched corpse except her nasty hands and feet. He had put an arrow through the arms and heart of Amatziah. An impossible shot. From both these incredible victories he should have recognized that God was with him. He should have continued acting in a direct and reckless fashion.
His first fuckup was using subterfuge with Baalite faggots. Even joking about worshipping idolatry is filth. Instead he should have had faith and called on the people to rise up and slaughter them all. This would have been far better, bc the false priests hate absolutely nothing more than being hated by the mob. The sight of all the northern tribes hunting them like the animal filth they were would have broken them. But because he acted like a mincing two faced bitch, he signalled weakness. This cascaded and he continued his weakness with the calfs. A disaster.
Had he not done that, he could have kept the southern kings on the straight path, we would have eventually reunited, the commonwealth would have smashed the invaders to pieces and we would still be in our land.
I moght be in error about the name of Jezebels son who was so beautifully executed, and i also got the prophet wrong. I just remembered that it was Elisha not Eliyahu who was the prophet. Elisha was the disciple of Eliyahu who the entire State could not destroy.
The bottom line is, trust God. Be smart but dont let your brains and weakness turn you into a bitch. Jehu was better than most but he could and should have been more. He failed bc he let fear overtake him. He should have observed what God was showing him directly and taken heart.
I think the problem was that regarding the cult of the golden calves, Jehu really didn’t know any better. Unlike the Phoenecian religion that Ahab and Jezebel had been trying to impose on the Israelites at swordpoint, the calves were more of a legacy problem.
Jereboam should have simply set up two altars built from unchiseled stone, and not added any metal images.
I don’t mean to tout my horn, but in 2022 or so I stated Taiwan would side with china, until some official travelled there to convince aar (turned out to be Nancy pelosi 3 weeks later)
also stated that Odessa according to russians would be taken by Russia according to various news articles at that time…
I think I may have made 1 or 2 bad predictions… whatever they may be
no one else sees these things?
Odessa makes sense from a ‘keeping NATO out of the Black Sea’ sense. How did you guess the Cathedral would mess up Taiwan? It is genuinely insane to piss of China when 1) You need them to embargo Russia and 2) You need the chips.
agree – it makes total sense from a strategic and logistical viewpoint
Taiwan sided with china… war broke out with Russia.. special military garbage..
if you are a hegemon, it would be your time to move on your perceived weaker target ?
2-3 week response to show how strong English speakers are ? I am unfamiliar with English speakers in terms of warfare… have to show some strength when there is a loss somewhere, except in Africa, English speakers upon losing warfare to men began slaughtering women and children..
no meanness or anger, just personally interested to see how you English speakers conduct warfare once you begin losing.. and the unarmed women and children are the next village over… like 600 miles away… Russia is a very large nation
nothing like fighting unarmed white children in Africa 100 years ago
The Global American Empire is out of ammo.
And it is reluctant to do what it needs to do build ammo, because that would empower white males, Musk times ten thousand.
I’d be willing to wager that the USA has literally almost near zero percent of the shells needed to fight a real war left in its arsenal.
With the only shells remaining being kept around to murder its own upstart revolutionaries.
And it’s likely almost entirely topheavy on a very small quantity of cruise missiles and other last century exotic shit.
It’s airframes are all on extended life support, and the newest fighting bird it has the F-35 spends more time in the chop shop than in the air.
Their boats can’t even keep their propshafts properly lubed, or enough CIWS on their decks.
And it’s got nothing to field against the drone armies, or any serious and cheap drones of it’s own yet.
They still have subs and bombers and silos that haven’t been entirely faggoted out, but that’s kindof not useful end of days stuff there.
I don’t have the numbers, but that’s my suspicion.
And it’s all the result of putting corrupt high price faggots and pols in the highest echelons of your political and defense industrial complex.
Russia fell apart because Socialism couldn’t compete.
USA will fall apart because ProgLeft faggots don’t know what it means to be ready to defend at an efficient price point. They view the battlefield as a bunch of straight dick they can suck from their cute little offices in their Pentagram and Oval Office and side halls of Congress.
There is hope in some of the new startup defense tech shops on X, but I saw a Trans in one of their videos. Hopefully they’re there to get a high speed video of Soros’ goatse just before ramming it with a cheapo missile that actually does hit its target and go bang.
What’s funny is the whole world is now just trying to figure out how to anonymously dronekill their opposing leaders from afar.
That’s the real story and future of geopolitics.
Get ready for more disruption.
The American defense industry suffers from both Parkinson’s law, and Woke. It is hard to fix Parkinson’s law, but it will be impossible without fixing woke first.
We have to replace socialist logistics with market logistics. Colonels and captains should be ordering equipment off Ebay, Soldiers should be sourcing their equipment off Ebay, and army food is notoriously bad — control of what they get to eat has to a lot closer to those actually eating it.
That is a good point…
Good calories and battlefield beef potato stew costs money and skills the USA no longer has.
All the food in the USA is manufactured chemical and GMO trash that eats your gonads and gives you cancer, doesn’t matter that no one knows how to grow or cook or keep it anymore.
And the USA is now airlifting MRE’s into Gaza, probably expired ones at that. That stuff costs 10x what simply airdropping live cows and potatoes and cabbages in on pallets would cost.
But guess what, the GloboHomo EcoJews have decimated the USA cow population too.
Because you know, cow farts cause global warming.
Lol.
Indeed, but beef is off the menu for religious reasons. GloboHomo wants everybody to eat soy and bug food.
Vox Day has a somewhat amusing anecdote and words of wisdom in his latest blog post today.
https://voxday.net/2024/03/02/just-1-thing/
Basically true, in the old days known as Conquest’s Second Law. “Any organization not explicitly and constitutionally right-wing will sooner or later become left-wing.”
Because the left is social entropy, any left wing organisation will be dysfunctional. Walt Disney illustrates this — the movies are not merely irritating because plot, story, and character development is dumped for Woke, they are irritating because done badly — poor editing, poor (though very expensive) special effects, post production dialog that fails to synchronise with the character’s lips and actions. Absolute rookie errors.
Recollect how badly and crudely Obama’s birth certificate was faked. I know how great the NSA used to be, now it is crap. The problem is that leftism results in non stop and ever more intense politics, so people get jobs politically without regard for whether they have any ability to do the job, or any interest in doing it.
The reason leftism mutates so rapidly and randomly is that leftism has no essence, it is just whatever rationalizations are handy for knocking over the most shaky looking apple cart with the nicest looking apples. When that apple cart is smashed and the apples gone, it will grab some new rationalization for the next apple cart. The ideals of leftism are just flags to gather a mob around for the next smash and grab.
OK, but why? Is it because they are hiring 78IQ niggers or because even among white men, Bioleninism dictates that the dumber white men drive out the smarter white men?
Look at this recent AI image generation brouhaha, you ask the AI to give you pics of the soldiers of Nazi Germany and you get Asian women. They solved “DIE” by adding “diverse inclusive” to any prompt text, they did not even try to engineer this, neither about historical fact vs. utopian dream, nor about the very basic idea that they only want to include people things they consider good things. This looks like a job done by a dumb intern.
Where does this low quality come from? Niggers or dumb white men?
Note how the smart ones are leaving Big Tech. Steve Yegge, great tech blogger, worked both Amazon and Google, is now doing something in Singapore.
Here, I think Pournelle’s Iron Law explains things. (Someone needs to write a more succinct version.)
https://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/iron.html
One should be aware that the second group declines in competence over time. New politicals are hired as time goes by and the work output becomes less and less important.
By the way, I’ll add my endorsement of Yegge. He’s a natural writer even if it’s mostly of the type “Star Gate. Open. Mind. Blown.” Great stories anyway. Not sure how Silicon Valley is these days but some years ago this seemed to be the natural tone of conversation.
This decline in capability is also visible in the Disney movies. Not only did they substitute woke for story, plot, and character development, they also had bad dialog, bad editing, and bad special effects. A smart person giving a woke lecture instead of a good story is going to boring, but woke should not in itself adversely affect scene and viewer point of view transitions. These were affected by stupidity, incompetence, and negligence.
The problem is that people were given jobs and roles on the basis of politics, not accomplishments. Politics kills organisations that have to accomplish real things. Leftism is politics, rightism is the forceful silencing of politics and organised self defence against politics. Leftism is disorder, rightism is order imposed.
Disorder is natural, order naturally dissipates. To maintain a viable entity, one has to acquire order from the external world, and expel internal disorder into the external world. Leftism is analogous to parasitism or cancer, disorder sufficiently organised to acquire order from higher entities that have a higher form of order, that it transmutes into a lower form of order, A woke organisation or a woke polity is analogous to a person with cancer, hence the saying, “Go woke, go broke.”, currently exemplified by Disney with Star Wars, the Incredible Sulk, Bitch Marvel, and so on and so forth.
Translations of Japanese anime suffer a similar problem — they are not only being translated to woke with characters being gayed, transsed, and politically corrected, they are also being translated badly, by English speakers who are just not very good at Japanese, and the translated humour is distinctly unfunny. The left just cannot do humor.
You need an immune system to attack cancer and parasites, and polity needs an inquisition.
ESG ratings, which are done by [*barefaced lies deleted*]
Not only do I know that is a lie, the whole damned world, including you, knows that is a lie. Vivek Ramaswamy, who may well become vice president, in which case he is likely to become president, regularly rants about ESG and has repeatedly told the normies exactly where ESG is coming from and who is doing it. It used to be just the Dark Enlightenment telling people about ESG, now the face fags are onto telling everyone. Your lie is as dead in the water as flat earth.
I let you through sometimes because sometimes you come up with official stories that are in circulation on the right and need rebuttal, but this one is flat earth tier.
[*deleted*]
Private bankers my ass. Vivek has regularly and repeatedly explained exactly how private they are. Chances are that all the normies who have been following the presidential race know.
Does this matter? Not a rhetorical question, also asking @Jim, but rather the matter of really how to keep the relative importance of things in proportion.
When we are talking about matters like possibly WW3, likely with millions of deaths in Europe, possibly whites getting genocided in the US, how much relative importance should be assigned to someone wanting to flaunt the ghey in a videogame?
Serious men should not care about videogames much anyway. Attention is a resource to economize.
Or is it to fight them on all fronts, even if these things seem unimportant right now, looking at the serious issues we are dealing with, because in the long run, the 11 years old boys for whom flaunting the ghey in a videogame gets normalized, will be the leaders in 40-50 years?
A great deal. It is one brick in a wall, and if you allow one brick, there will be another brick, and eventually you will be bricked out of your video game, then bricked into a death camp. It is analogous to Nato creeping closer and closer and closer to Moscow with the intent of eventually arriving in Moscow, draping the great Cathedral in the rainbow flag, holding the gay parade in Red Square, tearing down the statues of the honoured dead, which are now being torn down in every Nato acquisition, and teaching kindergarteners to choose their sex, as they are now being asked in formerly ultra conservative Poland.
In retrospect, Russia should have gone to war, ready or not, at Nato’s first acquisition after Eastern Germany. If they had rattled nukes then, nuclear war today would be far less likely.
Leftism is like cancer. If you don’t destroy it while is small, it will very quickly become big. The nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty first centuries are overwhelming and decisive evidence for the slippery slope.
Germany just got caught on tape helping Ukraine plan attacks.
Israeli Zion is on the way.
But I’m embeveraged at the moment 😉
Not just helping to plan, but firing rockets. https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/russian-tape-of-secret-german-meeting-reveals-berlins-thinking-on-sending-missiles-to-ukraine-a3a02cc3
Shit is getting real. Macron, yes that “maybe Europe should not be an American vassal” Macron also talked about sending troops.
European figureheads are not even at GPT-3 levels of coherence, maybe GPT-2, maybe that is a stretch too. Seriously since this thing started, their coherence was not much above random word salad. The fuck is going on? Are their strings tugged by different American factions?
U.S. elections are, as given, fake and gay these days or at least more so on a wider scale than prior, but the show must go on. Having the Supreme Court unanimously overrule Colorado seems geared towards maintaining normality bias that the system still functions when at best it’s Buffalo Bill dancing to Goodbye Horses.
Why no token dissent, though? Sneks in disarray or keeping to the shadows for the nonce?
On the state of Europe. If I consider Jim the gold standard of 100% redpilledness (and I am certainly not there! there is much normalcy bias in me), Viktor Orban is maybe 20%. He has no idea of the WQ, he thinks he can just bribe women into having kids. OTOH he does get how the GAE works something like 50% and has some basic good horse sense about how it is harmful for Hungarian Christian nationalism.
No one else even comes even close. Geert Wilders just thinks the problem is that Muslims are not liberal and yet liberal elites are pushing them in. I will give him a generous 5%.
The AfD in Germany is led by a lesbian woman whose partner is an immigrant from Sri Lanka. Not sure whether to give 5%, or call the whole thing an opportunistic fake crap. @Karl, what do you think?
I am actually Hungarian, though for the time being not living there, but this might change. I am good friends with someone who is good friends with someone who knows people who have Orban’s ear. Sort of wondering about what could I do. Maybe I could do something.
One thing I really love about Orban is when he said we are quite open for Western European immigration, whites fleeing from Muslims. Hm, that would work well for our demographics and eugenics. We are bit dumber and more chaotic than Germans on the average and could use those genes.
All facefags have to lie.
The AfD won’t solve Germany’s problems, but it is not all opportunistic fake crap as there are real social costs of being in the AfD. Your children might get beaten up, someone might torch your car or break some windows of your house or office (all that has happened several times). Chrupalla (co-leader of the AfD) was pierced with a needle and shortly thereafter collapsed – he still doesn’t know who injected him with what. So no, it is not opportunistic to campaign for the AfD. Anyone with half a brain could earn more money with less risk somewhere else.
If you give Weidel 5% you are generous. She represents the left wing of the AfD. Many inside the AfD don’t like her.
@karl
I want to ask a german about the coup attempt.
Was it genune or false flag by the state?
I also read there was an attempt to restore monarchy and old royal family members were linked , is this true?
Some geezers talked in private that they didn’t like the government and would prefer a monarchy. They also expected bad times to come and therefore stored some food. Somebody in the government or close to it wanted some headlines in the news and therefore had the geezers arrested for an attempted coup.
It was not even a false flag as there was never was an attempt or even planning for an attempt.
One of the geezers indicted is indeed from an old noble family. All upper nobility in Europe is related. So of course, he is linked to a royal family (Germany used to have 4 kings, so that bar is not very high).
“Somebody in the government or close to it wanted some headlines in the news …”
I think it more about the elites are deathly afraid from even “wrong think” especially about “restoration of monarchy”.
which why they go into the trouble of sending shills far and wide, even on such obscure blog as this one (no disrespect to our host).
I am amazed that there is still discussion in the old royal elite circle
about restoration. You would think by know everyone is converted to progs religion about “evil of hierarchy and inequality”.
Thanks for the info and the insight.
I think it more about the elites are deathly afraid from even “wrong think†especially about “restoration of monarchyâ€.
I don’t think they are afraid, but as far as I know monarchists are in Germany less rare than nazis.
They are afraid. They are always talking about Nazis, but their real attitude to Nazis and Nazism is on full display in the Ukraine. Nazis are today fake opposition. Monarchy is the real threat, for the time of Republics is ending.
You hear them saying if Trump is elected, he will be elected forever. He is seventy seven. Max will not be much longer than one term, even if he blows off the two term limit as Obama blew off the native born requirement. What they mean is that he and his sons will rule forever. As quite likely they will.
The Azov Battalion in Ukraine and that rally in Charlottesville were the greatest windfalls the left ever got since birth control.
Makes you wonder.
Birth control having anything to do with fertility is an enemy meme. For concrete proof it doesn’t matter, look at the fertility of Japan, and add a line in 1990 for when the self sterilization pill came out.
You might as well argue that urbanization, industrialization, and not enough of dem programz paying women to have kids is the root of the fertility problem. As is endlessly repeated here, the issue is lack of paternal control and fake marriage leading to inability to feel secure in one man and endless fucking around. Everything else barely moves the needle.
Some weeks ago ivy league faithful were surprised to hear that the supreme rubberstamp had decided to take up the case of state election apparatchiks gatekeeping Trump from being listed on the cattle’s ballots.
This week, they were even more surprised to hear that the court had rule unanimously in favor of trump.
One of the larping females wrote in her opinion that ‘the object of the court is to lower the national temperature, not raise it’. This is Team Brezhnevian language par excellence.
Doubtlessly there were many ‘private conversations’ between ‘friends and coworkers’ in the lead-up to this, where no small number of hints were dropped about how ‘this may have implications on national stability’ and ‘this may have far reaching implications as an unintended consequence if made precedent’.
Legally, the judgette is completely correct, and being conservative. The five judges overreached to put a stop to this disqualification business. Which judicial overreach never happens, except power is in play.
If disqualification is not happening, the same power that put a stop to that will put a stop to miscellaneous efforts to Epstein Trump, though not necessarily efforts to strip him of his assets, and not necessarily efforts to steal the election sufficiently to prevent a landlide of Republicans coming in on his coat tails.

Culture is downstream of power. Roe versus Wade was an end run around a majority that opposed abortion. When we start tossing gays of high buildings the crowd will be cheering before they hit the ground.
The Hindu state traditionally uses mass rape as a tool of terror & obedience.
Was wondering how Christian states deal with recalcitrant populations.
Like its descendent, the Cathedral, convergence. Worked for Christians one and a half millennia ago, working for the Cathedral now. Christians put the star on the Christmas tree, and the Cathedral drapes the altar in the rainbow flag.
Yeah.
I don’t really see a way to prevent it.
Only to be a “winner” in the current system not wholly outside it.
Not presenting an alternative.
Even Saudi is converged or allied.
Leave it to you guys – Anglo or Brahmin.
You cannot win in the current system. Convergence works.
But Thermidor is likely before autogenocide, and recent events indicate that Team B, the Thermidorians, have the upper hand. Likely outcome:
Trump is allowed to win. The Thermidoreans expect him to take care of the radicals. He will not be able to, unless he recruits reactionaries and political prisoners out of prison to do the cleanup, or winks at us conducting a white terror analogous to the way the left winked at assault and murder by BLM and Antifa, and the way the French Thermidoreans winked at their white terror.
This provides a path to power. If that path fails, as it failed in the Soviet Union, well, leftism will still die eventually and then another path will eventually open. Leftism must get ever lefter, or die. If the radical left loses to the Thermidorean left, leftism will die, and Thermidorean leftism die with it.

Not letting this link through, because you are promoting the website of an obvious shill and entryist.
Some of your material, on the state of Sikhi and its convergence to feminism, I would have allowed through, if that relevant material had not been dragging a cartload of entryist material.
If honor killing is not supported, your warriors will be able to attain wives and families. If warriors do not expect to attain a wife and family, your fighting force is going to be feeble. Discussion of that will certainly be allowed through.
Money, power, and fame, is worthless without pussy. Everything men do, we do for pussy, so if there is not an adequate supply of obedient virgins, which supply tends to go to taxpayers and to men who fight for God, King, and Country, your state is going to go decadent.
Ok part about Akinokure deleted.
So you’d say anyone not specifically talking about patriarchy is retarded?
Do you mean:
your warriors will be *UNable* to attain wives and families?
Agree in that case & that’s the main thrust.

10 rep max on shrugs went up by 300lbs over last 3 months.
Main factors:
Figure 8 straps – used by powerlifters & strongmen.
They lock u in, but are less annoying than versa grips or hooks – easier to wear than regular straps.
Alpha Progression app – yes I shill this hard.
It helps you progress by 1 rep or 1lb at a time even between off (bad) days.
I don’t really have anything to say on Thermidor.
Hope they win.
Talwars are being somewhat normalized, and Sikhs aren’t considered “non-white†or foreign anymore.

What shills do is attack reactionary memes without mentioning those memes, instead assuming that no one anywhere ever would think such a thing. Shills are always talking about what they are not talking about. Their ostensible topic, what they are purportedly talking about, is merely a wagon to carry the real payload.
Your link was in substantial part an attack on patriarchy, while pretending to be about no end of completely unrelated topics and never explicitly mentioning patriarchal memes, nor even acknowledging they exist.
Your link was all about what it was not about.
You were only shrugging the barbell before or, more likely, are simply lying. Shrugs are easy to go heavy on, but I know how big the guys are who shrug well over 500lbs for reps, and I also know you arent one of them. One lie, all lies.
If you want to call me weak, post proof of you shrugging 400+ for 10 reps. If you’re not going to do that, well I regularly shrug 1000lbs on an ohio bar for 20minutes prove that I’m lying you scrawny faggot.
@fidelis 170 to 470.
Started using straps mid Feb & got the Figure 8 straps last weakish?
Since like 370s it’s been more of a power shrug.
Was doing Trap bar High Pulls before now just shrugs.

Not your records but these numbers are indeed within reason.
For the audience, for rows a bit of heave is fine, your lats serve to hold the upper back straight as well as pull the humorous to your sides, so the extra tension is carried through the tissue regardless. For shrugs, I see the majority of the bigger and stronger guys settle for stricter reps, longer holds at the top. I don’t have a good anatomical rationalization, but from self experiment I do believe the stricter shrugs are more valuable than jerking. Verification of these statements is left as an exercise for the reader.

The masses hunger and thirst for the truth. Mark Robinson is going to be North Carolina’s Governor, unless the Democrats do fraud on a 2020 scale.
They missed a chance to go all-in on holiness and make abortion legal for whites only.
They’ve been painting prohibition of abortion as being oppression of women for decades. So saying they want to oppress non-white women but not white women would not fly well.
Births in Belgium, 2023: 110k (https://www.brusselstimes.com/921429/drop-in-brussels-births-almost-three-times-higher-than-belgian-average or https://statbel.fgov.be/fr/themes/population/mouvement-de-la-population/naissances)
(Births in immigrant-heavy Brussels decreasing three times faster than in the rest of the country, which is consistent with immigrant fertility patterns elsewhere in the West.)
Births in Belarus, 2023: 65k (https://euroradio.fm/en/another-anti-birth-rate-record-set-belarus or https://belstat.gov.by/)
For reference, the land area of Belgium: 30k km^2
and the land area of Belarus: 200k km^2
Birth records for Belarus for the previous four years:
2019: 87.6k
2020: 83k
2021: 79.7k
2022: 73.9k
and Belgium:
2019: 117k
2020: 113.7k
2021: 117.9k
2022: 113.6k
On a linear extrapolation (which won’t hold, but for purposes of example and illustration) by 2040 this would imply 18k children born in Belarus while Belgium will have 87k.
Belarus has a serious family formation problem.
The fuck is this low-effort copy-paste shilling here? Who and why? I don’t get it.
Belgium has 33% larger population so correct comparison would be 98k vs 114k for 2022.
However, the point being made here is correct. Presumably that BASED Lukashenko can’t make his people have as many children as CUCKED Belgium, maybe because Belgium has diversity commissars who make things nicer for child-bearing women.
Real reason is Lukashenko is a USSR-continuity president, and the USSR was also highly feminist. It’s useful for serious opponents of the current system to realize that much of the world, including that part of the world opposed to some of the things Progressivism is now doing in the USA, is feminist, and feminism does not work any better under a leader for life than it does in a democracy.
Belarus, Russia, South Korea … any state that conscripts young men into combat could just as well conscript young women into marriage and motherhood. “But motherhood’s a lifelong commitment!” So’s the army if you’re KIA.
There’s a lot of arabs in Belgium.
Ties in nicely with Dividualist’s comment down below:
Then Lukashenko is what, 30%?

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life and life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God… This man came for a witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth…
I am in uncharted territory here. When I read the words from whence the above came, I was overwhelmed, I was smitten and felt stripped down to bones, no flesh or feeling, just a skeleton. And that skeleton was bent and broken, a cracked vessel. But a vessel I remained. I cried out to our God, and I was commanded to convey to you this: prepare ye the way of the Lord, servant of the Living God.
Jim, I don’t know what this means, I cannot begin to fathom the purpose. But I was told to tell you, and I have told you. You can ignore this or delete this or do whatever you discern best. Once upon a time I declared you a prophet, and we had words, and because you are the Leader here, I stopped posting about it. I am no prophet, maybe none of us are. But I do know that many are called yet few are chosen. I knew then, I know now, and I will continue to know, because I have no choice, that You Are Chosen. Make of that what you will.
Be strong, be shrewd, and be well, old friend.
Christ is the Stoic Logos and the Jewish Messiah. He said so, John hammered it hard, and in the first millennium of our Lord, everyone knew this, and they read their Stoic philosophers, in particular and especially Marcus Aurelius.
Then during the second millennium, people started expunging that as a “pagan addition” — which expungment is called “Judaization” and “Judeo Christianity”. It is a heresy. Needs fixing. Judeo Christianity and the Perpetual Virginity of Mary. The protestants corrected Perpetual Virginity, but most of them are worse on Judaization than the Orthodox. They think Paul is insufficiently pure.
The problem is that if Christ is not the Logos, then Divine Law lacks inherent connection to what the natural world tells us about natural law, then priests are free to add no end of moral rulings that are convenient for priests and inconvenient for everyone else, and bury ancient principles in layer after layer of re-reinterpretation, Talmud style.
Gnon. Nature or Nature’s God. He speaks: I am that I am.
Yahweh is not the name of God. Jehovah is not the name of God. These names are derived from the old Hebrew abbreviation of “I am that I am”, expressed in a form that suggests the meaning “I am that which causes existence”.
Relatedly, what is your take on the Bible being uncorrupted Divine Word? I take the spiritual meaning of such as correct, that the Word is more Real than the world we live in. However, the books were compiled together by men, some added some removed. Further, and this I recall you’ve said some words yourself on, there is a tendency to take everything as literal, physical truth, that leads to holiness spiraling and unreasonable stances with regards to what can be deduced by observation of evidence.
Having the Bible is a very useful schelling point, how do you square this circle of a spiritually fulfilling text, without holiness spiraling on overly literal interpretation?
Overly literal interpretation is the escape hatch for those that do not like the spiritual meaning. People who want an escape hatch will find one.
It as is pointless to debate the literal meaning with them, as it is pointless to debate a flat earther. You need to discuss the spiritual meaning.
The rocks testify that there was death in the world for aeons before Adam. Now let us move right along and discuss what the Bible tells us about how men should deal men, and men and women should deal with each other.
Simply disregarding such people feels fruitless. Many are handed such memes and never question them. I am not an agreeable person, and so find delicate rhetoric near impossible, but I have a sense that these are potential converts.
More importantly, it seems quite difficult to go to spiritual interpretation without destroying the utility of the shelling point. It becomes much easier for entryists to talk about how this great Jewish Community Organizer said such nice things about how gays are fine as they are and adultery isn’t a big deal. You need a meta consensus, like the old creeds or the articles, on top. Which seems hard to manage and coordinate without a soverign annointing his head priest. Not to mention official interpretation on top of official interpretation judaising the text into a new talmud.
My understanding is that you see a, high enough, likelihood of a soverign appointed priesthood. In the case we don’t have such a privilege, how would you go about maintaining a priestly consensus, however small, until the times recognize the need of an official state church?
I don’t suggest ignoring them. If they accept the spiritual meaning of Genesis, will lose interest in the literal meaning. If you instead persuade them to doubt their interpretation of the literal meaning, this will not render them more likely to accept the spiritual meaning.
Gnon speaks through the material world. If they accept what he says, they will similarly forget Perpetual Virginity and Judaization, both of them being rationales for not listening to what he says through the material world, and creatively and elaborately re-interpreting what he says through the Bible.
When someone makes an argument that is not entirely a good faith argument, that is based on motivated reasoning, he believes X because it presupposes W, and he does not want to defend W, and implies Y, which he does not want to admit, it is pointless to debate it like a good faith argument.
Prosaic answer is that there is such a thing as laity. Post-rationalism is knowing where no good answer can be produced by a particular subject (or clade of subjects) no matter how he thinks about it. The Church is not a ‘priesthood of all believers’, it is a priesthood of a priesthood, magisterium. The social question of what the spirit is is answered by a prince bishop that pronunciates it.
He that might better hear the voice of God might better profit; he that might better hear the voice of God might prophesay, that others might better profit; that the prophesayer becomes a conduit of God; God speaks through the prophet, that others might profit. Divine Law understood not as hurdle but as gift; a tool that may shape its wielders in particular as much as it may shape the creation in general; that that which might observe it might participate in the power of God – participate in God – subsisting, over that which might not.
Regarding your suggestion of a “prince bishop” – yeah no. Nope.
The game of “What is true is whatever the special people in robes and funny hats declare to be true” has been played many times over in history, and it always seems to lead to the special people declaring that what’s true is that everyone else should be giving them piles of money, and not holding them accountable to any of the rules that a functional society has to apply to everyone.
Or in this day and age, the medical “magisterium” telling you to get in line for your clot shot like a good little test subject.
You do need a mechanism for establishing an authoritative consensus about right conduct, and especially what conduct justifies retribution, so that everyone is on the same playing field.
Such a mechanism is however grossly misapplied when it addresses material cause and effect, such as global warming and vaccination. Such things are not matters of consensus.
You don’t have a choice whether you have a state church or not. You always have a state church. The question isn’t whether you have a state church or not. The question is what character that state church has. What character of selection effects, for what character of men that occupy your state church. Whether it is explicit about its role, and thus emendable, or occulted about its role, and thus necessarily calumnious.
There needs to be a state church that tells people their shared identity, or rather, as PC puts it: you don’t have a choice, it just happens. It is natural law. And it is good — if we don’t know what we share with each other and our ancestors, how do we expect to work together?
Obviously, the power to tell people about their identity is a power that will be abused as surely as the sun rises. So over the course of centuries ways have emerged to keep the clergy in check. The biggest one being that a big stick always outholies any overly holy man, as Thomas Beckett, who found himself much holier than king Henry II, learned. That is why it is a state church, because it is a church in service of the state, and a healthy state is monarchical. That is also why a state led by clergy disarms its citizens, because clergy hate being outholied by sticks.
A great deal of our current religious problems would immediately be solved if journalists, academics, NGO-activists and other assorted members of the leftist clergy would fear the king’s stick.
Do you execute the hostile entry priest types who think [*deleted*]
This is not a problem that has occurred in any state Church in all of history. Evil priests, and evil state churches, want power and status for themselves, not for their holy books, nor for tradition and custom.

This is true, so allowing it through.
Trouble is that the Global American Empire runs lots of faiths that it would not like in docile and obedient provinces, but it likes to keep around in areas that are not entirely compliant, for potential use in creating trouble, giving it an excuse to intervene — the most notable example being the Ukraine Nazis.
Your version of Sikhism is being run by the Global American Empire. for potential application as a crowbar against India, much as it is funding and running terrorist Islamic factions in Russia and the Nazis in the Ukraine. This did not work out too well for the Nazis, did not work out too well for the Chechens, and it will not work out too well for you, for the Global American Empire likes to destroy these suspiciously heretical and potentially dangerous tools in the course of using them. It also has a habit of assassinating leaders in these groups who prove suspiciously independent, or just know too much. You may recall a Sikh leader being nailed by US spooks, which they blamed on India, though the hit was quite obviously done by Canadian or US state instruments.
They fund and arm groups they do not much like, for potential use against states they do not much like — but such assistance and funding, as the Chechens discovered, and the Ukraine Nazis are now discovering, comes with deadly strings attached. The problem is that they fund and arm groups that they hate, and this hatred always bites the group. When you receive aid and funding from people who viscerally hate anyone that does not toe the line one hundred percent, it is a deal with the devil. Since they worship demons, probably a deal with the devil literally as well as metaphorically.
The Russians have pulled a lot of demonic icons off the bodies of dead Azov brigade members, and Hinduism is the product of the Aryan religion suffering entryism long ago from Dravidian demon worship. I suspect you will find some interesting religious icons among your fellow beneficiaries of furtive USG sponsorship. The USG attempt to converge the movements they sponsor.
The greatest demonic symbol is a wife held in equal standing.
I’d say in this case among “Sikhs” it’d be the turbaned wife who dresses, acts, and is expected to look the same as the Husband.
These types reject most of the later Sikh scripture which is heavy on the tales of Shri Ram and Shri Krishna; espousing a traditional Indo-Aryan religious patriarchy centred around the family hearth.

From the Biden’s state of the union speach, I infer that the current Team A strategy is to abandon the Ukraine and the further reaches of empire, to focus on war upon the American people.
I am unsure whether the Team B strategy is very different.
On the Ukraine, the Biden said “provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs to defend itself”. But Team A is out of weapons, and is surprised by the inability of engineering lead Shaniqua to manufacture.
Like how an Islamist government used “swine flu” as an excuse to exterminate all the pigs in Egypt. This caused malnutrition among poor Christians, as intended, but also caused great masses of rotting garbage to accumulate in the streets. At which point the army overthrew the Islamists, put one of its generals in charge, and imported new pigs from Brazil.
Military rule is not great but not terrible either, a helpful backstop against bad governance. It’s remarkable and baffling to me how thoroughly the West has neutered its warrior class.
Not baffling at all. Priestly rule always tends to lower the status of warriors to prevent alternative power structures from coming up. Priests in power are always suspicious of and hostile to warriors and rival priests.
Military rule tends to be sclerotic, because officers are not priests. They don’t tend to have ideas, but “defend” ideas they learned while young – the product of some out-of-power priests. Military rule is often comfortable, but tends to be unsustainable, because officers cannot defend their children against priests. A society must always have both officers and priests under a king.

I found this mainstream piece, a research done by our priestly class on why Americans refuse to believe Economy is booming. Very informative because it has everything discussed here: the gaslighting, the detachment from reality and the neologisms which I can only define as theological (“vibeflation”, lol).
The article says that the average citizen perceives their financial situation as bad because they have to pay high interest on their debt. And interest on debt is apparently not taken in account when how Economists estimate inflation.
I admit that the shameless way there Harvard researchers spin facts is fascinating.
Everyone with half a brain understands that if the average citizen is so much in debt to be worried about the interest is paying each month, it means that things are pretty bad indeed. But to them it is only a matter of perception, amplified by “bad media coverage”. They predict that when the Fed will lower rates, everyone will realize how rich we actually are and enthusiastically vote to confirm Biden.
