Ukraine counter offensive update.

I don’t cover the events of the day, but in my previous post I remarked:

This is not a tactic that can be repeated too many times. You continually need fresh troops. And they are now running mighty short of fresh troops. At the moment the offensive is stalled, awaiting the next shipment of fresh cannon fodder. I have repeatedly been surprised by their ability to dig up more cannon fodder, and likely I will be surprised again, but they have been digging mighty hard, and will have to dig a whole lot harder.

One day after that post:

Men with missing limbs have now received callup notices. Next time I need to preen on predictions this is going on the list.

When Napoleon started conscripting men with missing limbs, the end was not far off. And he never considered calling up women in their fifties. I think the Ukrainians have watched too many action girl movies.

Ukrainian ground troops have reached the first line of defence, but it has not been penetrated, in the sense that tanks and armoured personnel carriers cannot drive through it – or even get near it. They dump cannon fodder some distance away, which cannon fodder is then marched over minefields under artillery and drone fire to the first line of defence. Cannon fodder being cheaper and more easily replaceable than tanks or armoured personnel carriers. However, replacing cannon fodder is evidently becoming considerably more difficult.

It will be interesting to see how the war goes when one side is relying on women, cripples, and the elderly.

    The next civil war might turn into a contest of who can torture immigrants more barbarically so that they flee to the other side and become their problem. There’s never been such a war before because there’s never been a country so packed to the rafters with useless eaters before.

    I believe this deserves it’s own comment thread. I do not know of a single war defined solely by such actions, but similarities can be found in the 1203 siege of Château Gaillard and many other medieval sieges:

    the castle’s commander, Roger de Lacy, the Constable of Chester, regretted having opened his gates to the inhabitants of the captured town, Petit–Andely, whose number had been swollen by an influx from the surrounding region, all of whom had sought refuge in the castle from the French forces. He realised that with so many mouths to feed his garrison, which had little hope of fresh supplies, would be unable to sustain the siege for long. […] In order to preserve the stores that would be quickly exhausted by these ‘useless mouths’de Lacy evicted some 500 of the oldest and weakest amongst them. The French took pity on the feeble group that emerged from the castle gates and allowed them to pass safely through their lines. A few days later a similar number were turned out from the castle and, being equally incapable of aggression, they were also permitted to cross the besieger’s lines. […] King Philip was absent from the siege at this stage, away campaigning and organising help for his Breton allies […] When he heard of this lenient treatment of the refugees, he immediately sent orders forbidding the safe passage of any further non-combatants expelled from the castle […] and he also ordered that any further groups were to be driven back to the fortress. […] De Lacy resolved to send out the remaining townspeople, […] When this ragged and disorderly band spilled from the castle they believed that they were going to rejoin their families and fellow townsfolk in safety; but instead they were to be subjected to warfare in its most vicious form. They were not met by the opening lines of the besieging forces, but by a hail of arrows and javelins. The French had followed their new orders. The refugees flew back to the castle only to find the gates locked and bolted against them. The guard responded to their pitiful entreaties to allow them back into safety with the words: ‘I do not know you […] With this the soldiers on the battlements hurled down stones and fired arrows onto the terrified masses huddled below. Racked with fear and panicking from the incomprehensible violence of their erstwhile protectors, the wretched crowd withdrew from the foot of the castle walls, and moved out of reach of the missiles and into no man’s land between the besiegers and the besieged. There on the rocky slopes beneath the castle, they were to remain for three winter months. […] All they had with which to sustain themselves were wild herbs, rarely to be found in winter, and the waters of the nearby river. […] at least half perished from starvation and hunger. But for the waters of the Seine, all would have died.

    Sir Roger de Lacy could not bring himself to cannibalize the peasants for food; he couldn’t even eat the dogs as he’d evicted them too. A highly utilitarian short term solution to the food problem. One that Zhang Xun employed to great effect during the 757 siege of Suiyang. Why the difference? It was a matter of religion, Sir Roger de Lacy could not bring himself to simply murder the peasants, or kill the beloved dogs. Though not mentioned in the sources, I suspect King Philip could not tolerate accepting the peasants due to the effect it might’ve on his own army’s logistics, and likewise, could not as a matter of religious faith murder the peasants.

    We live in a peculiar time. One in which Americans, as much as they might despise the migrants, do not have the religious faith that would grant them the will and right to simply mass murder the migrants. The right primarily views itself as being in conflict with the left and see migrants predominately as a leftist tactic. This spiritually demotes the migrants down to non-combatants, or even human tools (instrumentum humanum), so to directly kill them feels spiritually close to murder, unlike the Romans who have less problem with killing instrumentum vocale. The historical right has little will to commit outright genocide, as seen in Christian Europe’s monarchies, but it certainly has the will for expulsion. What of the left?

    The left holds dear the goddess of egalitarianism. One that looks ever more demonic as they holiness spiral. The migrant is more holy than the native. They likely don’t have the religious fervor to directly kill the migrants, but as realities of ‘useless mouths’ set in, expulsion becomes the go to solution. Or perhaps ironically, one can hope, their holiness spiraling causes them to expel the useful mouths in favor of the migrant.

    In either case the migrant starves. The migrant problem is taken care of not as a direct policy goal of either, but simply as a reality of siege warfare. Unlike medieval times, where sieges are on the scale of castles, today it’s on the scale of entire cities and states, potentially even entire nations. Likewise sieges end with storming the walls and war end with battlefields and defeated armies. To that end, the next civil war, if it does happen, will not be defined by who can torture immigrants more barbarically than the other (it will simply be a detail in history), but who can eventually victoriously march through their armies through the political centers of the other.

    My memory, ever so faulty with drink, tells me that Yarvin dismissed sending migrants to liberal cities as a form of virtue signaling… owning the libs so to speak. I think Yarvin is rather Jewish sometimes, as regardless of his great knowledge of history, he fails to recognize acts and tactics of war. The questions therein, does Greg Abbott know he’s practicing war, and if so, is the right ready to follow in his footsteps and escalate?

    • jim says:

      At present, siege warfare is absolutely dominant, but the methods of war are rapidly changing.

      Siege warefare is enormously slow, expensive, and bloody. Sending in a horde of sacred diversities might work, but I suspect our enemies would swiftly overcome their religious objections, and respond as Sir Roger de Lacy did. Still, in a holy war, the enemy is apt to get rapidly holier fast, in which case it would be an absolutely devastating move. Instead of eating the diversities, they would let the diversities eat them.

      • Pax Imperialis says:

        Unless the US directly gets into a war that demands adaptation, I don’t see adaptation happening. Therefore siege warfare remains dominant. War tactic/strategy is stagnant if not in decline for the same reasons why tech is in decline.

        Chicago is letting the diversities eat them. They are led by a nigger worse than Lori Lightfoot. Brandon Johnson signed a $29.4 million one-year deal with a private security firm to move about 1,600 migrants that have been living in police stations into tent encampments around the city. Tent encampments are now holy. By all means, the right should oblige the left and send more. As many as the right can find. If happening in Chicago, likely to happen in other blue territories.

        • Mayflower Sperg says:

          Tent cities, in Chicago, in September? Next thing you know, Mayor Johnson will put up razor wire around these encampments to, uh, “protect them against white supremacist mobs”, and hire ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) to guard them. Any ADOS with an IQ over 85 knows how lucky he was to be born in the USA, and does not want his free lunch eaten by millions of freshly imported Africans.

          Liberal do-gooders will be allowed to carry armfuls of supplies into the camps, but when they try to leave, the ADOS guards will say, “I don’t know you, go back to your tent.”

    • skippy says:

      Most of the migrants will just leave under economic pressure. This must start happening in the UK soon as it is increasingly clear the UK is a middle or upper-middle income country now, not a high income country. It has too many migrants for its underlying desirability. But a similar effect could be achieved with punitive taxation and other disabilities.

    • Contaminated NEET says:

      >does Greg Abbott know he’s practicing war, and if so, is the right ready to follow in his footsteps and escalate?

      He’s got an R after his name, right? He has no clue, and he’d rather cut off all his own limbs than escalate. He’d like to throw you in prison for suggesting escalation. To him, it’s a stunt to get donations and votes, nothing more.

      • Pax Imperialis says:

        Trump has an R after his name, right? Maybe he has no clue, maybe he does. The fact is he’s practicing war whether he know it or not. If he doesn’t know it, by practicing war his donors and constituency come to expect it (even if they don’t know it’s war), and things escalate slowly from there. This leads to “more” cold civil war, and ultimately more escalation. America is already in cold civil war, and escalation is easy while de-escalation is hard. Some form of war follows. If he does know it, it means faster escalation, and hot civil war if the right is ready to follow in his footsteps. If not ready to follow, back to cold civil war and slower escalation.

        A similar thing happened just prior to the first American Civil War.

        The declaration of secession by South Carolina was on December 20, 1860. They demanded that the U.S. Army abandon its facilities in Charleston Harbor. On December 26, the U.S. Army moved from Fort Moultrie on Sullivan’s Island to Fort Sumter. On January 9, 1861, a blockade was put into effect, but it wasn’t until firing on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861 that the American Civil War officially started. Remember, this was back when quite a few people still believed they could peacefully succeed from the Union. They were doing war without realizing it was war until it was official war on April 15, 1861 when Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to march on the South.

        Thus we must ask if the right is willing to follow regardless of knowing or not knowing.

        So why does knowing matter? If knowing or not knowing both potentially leads to war, what does it matter? If he knows it, it means war planning and preparation. If not, getting caught flat footed. The South did not know in 1861, and ultimately lost. The South, even when at total war, did not realize it was in a total war, which lead to lost opportunities for victory.

        And if the left de-escalates by virtue of conceding on migrants and departing all of them… well I don’t see that as likely, and if it happens it’s still a “win.”

        • Contaminated NEET says:

          The Right has been losing so hard for so long that losing is now its nature, so no, the Right is absolutely not willing to follow any leader into war. We also don’t have a leader, and no prospects for any leader – the Left has prepared the battlespace well. Our only hope is a Stalin, a Caesar, a Napoleon; our savior can only come from the Left because only the Left wins.

          • jim says:

            > Only the left wins.

            Until it does not. We have been around this merry go around many times. Well, the anglosphere has only been around it once, the restoration of 1660

            The standard way this ends is that at some point someone on the lefts see suicide coming right up, and calls a halt. He gets a bumpy ride from the re-energized right, but mostly he gets a bumpy ride from the insane left. So he calls in the military, as for example the Thermidorians calling in Napoleon. Or he is the military, for example Cromwell and Stalin. And he finds officers selected for loyalty to leftism unsatisfactory, for war inherently reactionary. So he gives a great deal of power and high office, not top office, but gives power quite disproportionate to that office to a Deng or a Monk. And then leftism does not go on winning.

            It is completely obvious that Vivek and Milei are paws of a Thermidorean left faction in the deep state that is deeply distressed by economic collapse, in the US revealed by widespread poverty and the ultimate verification of GDP – war production, in Argentina by hyperfinflation and poverty. They want to roll back economic leftism, including affirmative action, and to moderate cultural leftism to marginally less insane levels. They are still obviously leftists, but by 2023 September standards, they are HitlerHitlerHitler. As were Stalin and Cromwell.

              • S says:

                The problem with the ‘arm the migrant’ strategy is the deplorable whites are over there. The ‘good whites’ are right here- why not kill them and take their stuff?

                There isn’t an easy solution. The traditional solution for colored troops (white officers) doesn’t work because the white officers have the same incentive- why kill deplorables and get scraps when you can take everything?

                The other obvious answers- secret policing and keeping coordination in the military low- lead to backstabbing by the secret police. ‘Solving’ this by placing observation in the hands of an AI system places the power in the hands of the people who control the AI.

                The fundamental issue is it is hard to make a coherent justification for why backstabbing someone is wrong while you are in the middle of backstabbing people and ‘it is right because I have power’ means backstabbing you to gain power is the million dollar bill on the ground.

                • The Cominator says:

                  The secret police don’t start backstabbing and taking over for a long time decades arguably (one exception is that Himmler probably allowed the July Plot to go ahead and was disappointed that Hitler survived as he knew that taking over and surrendering immediately was the only way he might save himself).. arguably the GAE regime has turned the security state into a secret police force but they’ve yet to turn into cynics who dislike the ideology of the regime in the manner of the 1970s and later KGB (and also even before that Stalin deliberately picked a non communist to run the NKVD in Beria).

    • Kunning Drueger says:

      Fascinating treatise. Should be an exploratory blog post on this in my opinion.

      It occurs to me that the active participation of all conservatives is not requisite for this kind of warfare. What is required is the tacit approval, or stubborn indifference, of the majority of conservatives to what might be happening. This means that a dedicated group of people, sworn to a very particular and rigid set of honorable, yet brutal principles could foment de-immigration waves at a medium and small scale. This is basically what Abbott is doing in Texas with the busing. And I think we can look at the response of conservatives to the busing and get some pretty clear pointers as to what something like this might do: lots of head shaking so that you know they don’t approve, but no one speaking up about how it has to stop. ironically, it is anti-immigration hardliners like myself and others who are most opposed to the busing on the right side of the spectrum. My argument against is that they are wasting a ton of resources to move migrants further into the heartland when they should just be dumping belt, fed machine gun fire and it generally southern direction. while I don’t think it is optimal, I am amenable to the idea of waves of border jumpers descending on Blue cities like locusts. there would be a high attrition rate as the mass ping pong’s back and forth between different blue cities and the surrounding red rurality. It is fairly obvious that, once things get bad enough, most of these freeloaders will leave of their own volition. but anyone who thinks this is a viable strategy needs to remember what Jim said: there is a lot of ruin in the nation.

      I think there is a persistent tendency in our intellectual neck of the woods to try and come up with brilliant plans based on accurate predictions and correct readings of history and reality. This is a good thing, but it is also a coup complete thing, at least in regards to 90% of the problems we face in current moment. It seems to me that we might want to think about what is already working, what is already happening, and the net effects of these things, *then* start ladling brilliance into the mix.

      • Pax Imperialis says:

        it is anti-immigration hardliners like myself and others who are most opposed to the busing on the right side of the spectrum.

        It is estimated that 11.4 million illegal immigrants are already in the United States. Some estimates are far higher. So long as coup incomplete, they can’t be deported, but it appears they can still be moved around. More so because coup incomplete, new migrants are coming in regardless. Right now it’s only a question of where migrants end up. There’s very little to lose. Better yet, by saddling the leftist cities with them, do not have to push migrants of questionable loyalty out of friendly territory during open war. Sieges are costly and horrific if food supply runs out. The migrant problem ends up solves itself.

        My argument against is that they are wasting a ton of resources to move migrants further into the heartland

        Where is the heartland? There is no core demographic region anymore. The US became an Empire abroad and thus became an Empire at home. There are multiple nations within the Empire just as there are multiple nations within GAE. A Caesar could probably reestablish a core demographic center and thus a homeland, but again, coup complete.

        It is fairly obvious that, once things get bad enough, most of these freeloaders will leave of their own volition.

        That has not yet happened with San Fran’s tent cities full of drug addict. Things have to get quite a bit worse before they leave. At that point, will they even be able to leave? The migrants will end up in the tents. Once there why leave? It’s better than Haiti plus all the drugs they could possibly want. Money for drugs is secured by looting the CVS or 7-Eleven. Once on drugs, can they even dream of leaving. Chicago is officially building tent cities for migrants. NYC is still deciding, but it’s likely they go the tent rout. A whole industry is sprouting up around this.

        A company contracted to helped ship migrants from Florida to Democrat-led cities has been hired by Chicago officials to build tent cities for migrants, records show.

        City officials signed a $29 million contract with Virginia-based GardaWorld Federal Services and its subsidiary Aegis Defense Services on Sept. 12 for the firm to “provide temporary housing, on an as-needed basis” for asylum seekers, records show.

        >when they should just be dumping belt, fed machine gun fire

        Machine gun method is either coup complete or total war. We are in neither so far.

        >brilliant plans

        Not a brilliant plan. Coup complete is a brilliant plan. This is a war with potentially no understanding it is a war until shooting starts. Then it automatically become a total war with potentially no understanding it is a total war. This is how the South lost the civil war. It did not understand it was at war until it was a shooting war. It did not understand it was at total war until it had already lost. Thus the question, does the right leadership know it is practicing war? Do they know such a war leads to total war?

        I want them to be brilliantly planning for a coup complete (planning for a total victory). If not, planning for a total war (planning for a possible win). If not, idiotically planning for a war (not planning for winning but might escape defeat), If not, praying for Yugoslavia experience (losing horrifically but still escaping total domination). If not, praying for a Stalin (a complete lose but at least there’s an end to the leftist revolution).

          In the 1948 it made sense for the kibbutzim militias to train their women in defensive tactics (NOT as offensive infantry though) because given the enemy numbers and the small size of Israel there were going to be women at the front whether they liked it or not and women CAN at least make good snipers.

        This may also explain why they instinctively hate strong men like Trump, Putin and Modi and froth at the mouth uncontrollably when faced with this reality. These are the current examples of prominent alpha leaders in the world. They naturally look the part.

        Maybe that’s also part of the reason why they are apparently going “soft” on Vivek Ramaswami despite his all “more Trump than Trump” rhetoric. He fits more into the mould of a bugman and they probably see him (and likely correctly) as one of their species and so perceive him as less of a threat.

                  Hmm, from the comments

                  “So basically Trudeau assassinated Nijjar, and then does what the left always does: instantly projected.

                  Agents of India were indeed “involved” – trying to stop it. However, they were just as incompetent as the Canadian agents, who weren’t able to make it look like a suicide.

                  This isn’t 100% or anything but it’s definitely the way to bet. Whenever a journalist says something, it’s safe to assume the exact opposite is true on every point, unless you have specific evidence to the contrary. E.g. Epstein might still be alive, never mind whether he was assassinated or committed suicide. I consider it likely (but far from guaranteed) that Nijjar is in fact dead, which would mean, by process of elimination, that Trudeau is the one that killed him.”

    Liberal Jews single-handedly accelerated scientific progress by maybe 10 years over where it would have been without them and served as an icebreaker for global ethical and moral progress. But happily there will be many other candidates to replenish the Elite Human Capital pool.

    “The Coast Guard hasn’t launched a new heavy icebreaker since 1976. Out of practice, U.S. shipbuilders have had to relearn how to design and build the specialized vessel, say officials in the industry and the government…

  7. ermine says:

    Jim, what you’re saying is that a man who is looking for a relationship and marriage is unattractive to a woman because she will compare him to those men who can get sex without a relationship, and therefore such a man will look less attractive to them, because she will fuck with them even if she knows that they will leave her.

    This is obviously true for the average girl. This is also true even for the majority of the minority who do say that it is important for a girl to preserve herself until marriage: because most of these girls lose their virginity to someone else. But there is a narrow layer of girls who REALLY save themselves for marriage. Of course, there are few such girls, but these are the best girls.

    And your tactic of “conquering a girl, and then the relationship will form on its own” deprives a man of the chance to get a relationship with just such girls. If not, then how to conquer the most stubborn girls in this regard?

    • jim says:

      Do not look for unicorns.

      AWALT. All women are like that.

      However, although all women are like that, there is wild variation in the age at which sexual desire sets in, unlike men for whom sexual desire sets in at puberty as reliably as clockwork. For women, usually sets in unreasonably early long before puberty, or unreasonably late long after puberty. If a woman is a virgin at eighteen or so, sexual desire is setting unreasonably late.

      > If not, then how to conquer the most stubborn girls in this regard?

      If you are in a private comfortable secure place with a woman, and sex does not ensue, she is just not that into you. (Though you need to be mindful that while men are triggered by visual and physical fertility cues, women are triggered by social cues of alpha and preselection, and she is not going to be into you until she has registered the relevant social cues.)

      • ermine says:

        If a woman begins to experience attraction later than eighteen, what does that say about her? Do you have an explanation why many girls begin to experience sexual desire before puberty and some later? Maybe late girls simply have muted instincts due to their high intelligence and peculiarities of upbringing?

        If I don’t look for unicorns, who should I look for? Is it enough that the girl has a father and there are no obvious signs of degeneration, such as dyed green hair? What are acceptable and safe approach strategies? Where won’t a guy over twenty get eaten for looking at pubescent girls? How to drag a fourteen-year-old girl into a comfortable, private and safe place?

        • jim says:

          Not very much. Seems rather random, as far as I can tell.

          > Maybe late girls simply have muted instincts due to their high intelligence and peculiarities of upbringing?

          I don’t think so, hits them all like a truckload of bricks. Lawyerette chicks are highly intelligent, or used to be before universities started printing law degrees on rolls of toilet paper, and look at them. When they meet a badass criminal, their pussy overrides their brains.

          • Pax Imperialis says:

            Was talking with a guy who works as a Corrections Officer. The women employees, like nurses and doctors, are rotating in and out on a nearly weekly basis because they keep getting caught having sex with the inmates.

            This gives the inmates an understandably massive moral boost, which makes them feel like they are the ones in fact running the prison, and in many ways they are.

            It wouldn’t take much to change this sorry state of affairs, which implies this is how the government wants it.

      Kid I know – 21 – tall, fit, polite, hard working. Living in a house his dad owns, rent paid to dad is counted by him as deposit for first house.

      Been with his GF since he was 19, she was 16.

      Broke up with him last week because she’s “missing out” on what her female friends have.

      By her own admission, he has set the bar super high. Nonetheless, she wants to go and be a whore. Thankfully, this has immediately redpilled him, but then, his own mother left to also go and be with her demon lover so I don’t think much of a push was needed. The conversation went like “but my girlfriends…” “OK so I’ll help you pack your things”.

      I admit I felt some hope for the future when this story was relayed to me.

      Jims prescription for relationships (which is what you are really asking about) is straightforward. AWALT, set your standards, if they don’t want to meet it, they can leave.

      • ermine says:

        There’s a difference between your girl who follows your rules and the girl who follows your rules but has been through a mile of dick before.

          Unfortunately if your expectation is to find a girl who has not had a mile of dick, you are going to be disappointed.

          It is just how it is these days. Women encourage one another to be sluts.

          I have unfortunately numerous personal anecdotes similar to the above.

          You cannot convince a low body count young woman to start a family.

          With that said, there are women who do not like sex. You may potentially find a loyal woman in this pool – she will naturally have a lower body count – but of course, she will not be able to provide you with the pornographic modern pleasure experience.

          I would suggest that is the best place to look, and that to simply let go of the desire for sex for pleasure is a worthwhile sacrifice to have a decent family.

          • Pax Imperialis says:

            Passport bros exist for a reason. While overseas women might not be entirely “pure,” they are not nearly as damaged as the average whore school graduate or career spinster. I know several military Officers who have done recent deployments to Japan and Korea and got married to women who were fresh out of high school. I know many civilian DoD who have done the same thing. It helps that by being the foreigner you are, ironically, the demon lover.

            The thing is, you don’t need to be working for the government to be a passport bro.

            • Mayflower Sperg says:

              The mail-order-bride thing died when men discovered that imported women Westernize in about two weeks.

              Most of the hatred toward passport bros seems to come from black women, which makes sense because Africa’s a pussy paradise that’s stealing their men. White countries are all very feminist now, so white men who aren’t willing to race-mix might as well stay where they are.

              • Pax Imperialis says:

                passport bros solved that by going native overseas. The bride can’t (has much harder time to) Westernize if she isn’t brought over to the West.

                • Mayflower Sperg says:

                  Yes, mail-order-bride and passport-bro are two different things. My wife is MOB and I’m PB, which leaves us 5,000 miles apart.

                  The problem with both is that all white women in the world who aren’t members of isolated religious communities have already Westernized. It’s simple math: If the average single woman earns even half the salary of the average single man, she won’t quit that job and marry him without a lot of prodding from her mother, aunts, and grandmothers, and that pressure just isn’t there anymore.

          • alf says:

            While traveling I once met this cute American chick who was intent on waiting until marriage. She actually stuck to it — only allowed me to finger her, and she refused to give me head as much as I argued that giving head did not count.

            As much as a lone virgin girl traveling is an oxymoron, had I been in a more reactionary mindset at the time, I’d have married her. I forget the details, but she was definitely a remnant of rural Christian America.

            You cannot convince a low body count young woman to start a family.

                lmao.

                Put it this way: obviously there’s low body count young woman starting families. Seen this multiple times. Near without exception, they come from big Christian families. So seems they imitate what they know: if from a happy big family, and ‘nudged’ towards Christian men from other happy big families, they are very likely to start another happy big family.

                The entirely understandable problem is when you do not snatch a girl from that kind of semi-exclusive, semi-shrinking pool. How are you supposed to convince a girl with an average highschool experience, average college experience, to start a family?

                The wrong way to go about it would be to rationally convince her. The right way seems to me to just pass her shit-tests and watch her ‘spontaneously’ get pregnant. Woops, guess we’re a family now.

                ‘I don’t want to miss out on what my girlfriends are experiencing’ is an obvious shit-test. “Your girlfriends are experiencing dumb shit, STD’s and lots of crying. They are lonely, fat and depressed and constantly gossip and bitch about each other. I don’t get why you still hang out with them.”

                • A2 says:

                  Depends on the setting, it seems. For instance, the girls in Academia Town had boyfriends but waited until done with their degree to produce offspring. They seemed to get antsy at 25-27 though.

                  In Working Class Town, in the vicinity of where I currently live, girls (white) exit highschool and a year or two later push around strollers, as everyone agrees is right and proper. Well, some of them run away to uni of course. But as a rule of thumb.

          If they don’t think they’re worthy of male attention, indeed, if you find them somewhat repellent, they will be a good candidate.

          But it comes down to letting go of the desire for exciting porn sex.

                Women want and need “coercive control”, and are deeply unhappy if they cannot get it, which unhappiness manifests as crazy behavior.

      • Aidan says:

        That is not the Jim prescription, not how you keep a girl when she gives you a shit test. She was begging him to own her, to be more alpha than the guys she imagines her girlfriends are fucking, and he failed.

        “I feel like I’m missing out” “get a hobby” “but my girlfriends” “they see twelve cats in their future and resent you for it” and so on. At the extreme end of the shit test: “if you leave because you want to get your ass pumped for five seconds by some drunk loser in a bar bathroom then nobody is ever going to find your body”

        By letting her leave, not even after a furious raging fight that involves breaking things and slapping her that is likely to end with her staying, he is going to feel like a faggot over it for years and she is likely to be eaten by twelve cats. Everyone loses. Letting a girl walk all cold and uncaring is for ones you consider little better than self-lubricating sex toys, not your high school sweetheart you’re living in a natural marriage with.

          All true Aidan, perhaps I’m getting a little black pilled.

          Dread game is letting her walk, saying you don’t care, but when all that her friends, and the media narrative she consumes on a daily basis, is that “you’re hot you can do better”, does it work anymore?

          I did further probing because as you said, it does sound weak to fold, and there were discussions a bit longer than that, but no, no raging fights.
          Why rage about it when your girlfriend almost verbatim says “I appreciate this relationship but I want random cocks”

          Crying about it, getting clingy, all these things give girls “the ick” now.

          But you’re right, of course, you are all right to oppose this position, and I see I’m a moron for getting it so wrong.

            I addressed this issue elsewhere in my game posts. Women desire credible ownership. Unfortunately, their perception of credible is long out of date. It is credible if she believes you might well kill her and her lover, that you will detect misconduct, and that you will not permit her to leave.

            Raging and getting upset is of course, counterproductive as it signals weakness. The credible threat needs to be subtle and gentle.

            • Doom says:

              It seems a strong position to say “I don’t care”, but ultimately – what did she say “I think I want to go and be a low priced whore with my friends” and he responded “You have so little value to me that I agree you should do this”.

            That dread game is weakness, and everyone knows it. My dread game works better.

            • Western Taliban says:

              I wonder if your dread game is truly correct or if it’s the dread that is truly doing the work.

              To put it into perspective, a lion doesn’t threat a lioness with death, he just sets boundaries that the lioness must follow or is made to follow. From the lion’s perspective, there doesn’t seem to be any consideration of killing because there is no consideration of failure. If she gets uppity she gets a couple of roars and claws and he gets his way either way.

              When you jokingly and subtlety point out that she might end up dead if she goes rogue you are setting up boundaries and showing willingness to use force, prerequisites of successful leadership. But you’re also admitting “I cannot make you do it, so ultimately I’ll kill you”.

              While telling her you’re willing to kill her might be more effective than telling her you’re willing to leave her, telling her she has no choice and simply make her do it seems to be the true choice, since it’s a question of applied leadership, control and ownership.

              I don’t have as much experience as you and I have not been married, but it seems to me that the root of the problem is not willingness to kill and the strength doesn’t come from the willingness to kill, but rather the root of the problem is the unwillingness to control and the strength comes from the willingness to control. Killing is stronger and more controlling than abandoning, but simply dominating without a choice and acquiring submission is the ultimate form.

              To put it into yet another perspective, a man who can threaten you with death to control you, you might fear and grudgingly follow as long as he is strong enough to coerce you, but a man who can make you honestly follow him you will love, admire, die and fight for. Caesar’s army is not built on fear, it is built on altitude.

              It occurred to me reading your discussion, when I hear men having women problems it always seems to boil down to them listening and considering their women in the first place as if an equal and something outside of their control, trying to reach agreement for cooperation to some distant individual party, instead of simply telling them how things are going to be because they are theirs and that’s just it, the way a leader orders the follower.

              I remember a video of some blonde girl that went youtube-right-wing thing talking about an experience with her fiance or something. She wanted to break up and when she told him he literally just said “no, we are doing fine”. She just accepted it and actually was glad he did that, she was very happy with the relationship after it. He was some finance guy or something, no violence, no dread, pure control, “no, things are going to be this”, “ok”. Force with altitude.

              • jim says:

                I never told her I might kill her, nor implied it in any way, and would never say such a thing. At least not say it the way you imply. She just drew that conclusion.

                This is true; ideally and at most times the unspoken frame is that you are in charge and her leaving is not an option. “No, we are doing fine” is the correct first response, the correct default frame, but when a shit test goes nuclear, and that frame is at risk of being broken, need to show her why that frame exists in the first place.

    Edward Dutton has a special coming up detailing whether or not Ukrainian women are betraying Ukrainian men en mass. What has helped spark this video is, apparently, Ukrainian women are ditching Ukrainian men for western men a helluva lot.

        I haven’t watched all his videos. I see two where he praises Russel Brand. Do you know which episode that would be?

          • Bwana Simba says:

            I have noticed that too. It’s a rare Anglo who is truly red pilled on women, even if they are red pilled on everything else. Case in point, Theodore Dalrymple used to be talked about on our side, his books being pretty good. But he has comments in the books about the treatment of women that show, even though he has all the data to prove otherwise, he is blue pilled on women. Case in point, he talked about how strict the Victorians were with women, sending hysterical women to asylums and ostracizing wicked women, and he is horrified by such notions. Likewise, one of his biggest arguments against Islam in Britain is the Muslim “don’t really believe in Islam” they are justing using it to control their women. Oh no. Men trying to control their women, God help us all. The guy will go on and on about how traditional cultures and religions were better and produced stronger people and then gasp in horror at their treatment of women.

            • Western Taliban says:

              If they are not red pilled on women they are not red pilled on anything, it’s all a lie. Someone who will not stand against female antisocial behavior and defend their own interests will not fight for anything or stand for anything, they are just posturing.

              I will go so far as to say that I’ve never met a man in my entire life who was trustworthy and worthwhile that would not acknowledge the WQ to some degree.

              • Doom says:

                Hmm. OK play devils advocate for a moment.

                Is not someone who seeks to shield women from all personal responsibility basically coming from a red-pilled frame anyway? Dalrymples tone towards men tends towards assumption they can control their own actions, women are just passive participants in comparison.

                Feminism is pretty red pilled at its core, if you really think about it. It’s all mens fault – because women have no agency.

                Real true intellectual feminsts (i’m laughing here a little) are against alimony.

                • Handi says:

                  Feminism has no core, it’s full of obvious incoherencies and contradictions because it’s made up on the spot by each woman to get whatever she wants at the moment.

                  Women’s lack of agency absolves them of many responsibilities, but necessity requires obedience in place of those. Your dog doesn’t have agency either but you still whack it if it shits on the floor.

      Obviously the article futilely tries to call him an insane crazy idiot but if you know what you’re actually reading its obvious that its the opposite.

      • A2 says:

        “In that article, a number of ex-Twitter employees were quoted about how much work it would be to do that cleanly, noting that there’s a ton of stuff hardcoded in Twitter code referring to that data center (hold that thought).”

        Former twitter staff seem inordinately proud of the Twitter code and system even though it from the outside looks like a big, hacky, bashed-together ball of mud. I know, it has scaled far and at a rapid pace. The ubiquitous fail whale has been retired. Good job, as far as that goes. But please, some realism would also be nice. So for instance, hard coding data centers is not really top tier practice. In fact, it’s bottom tier.

        “When Musk talked about how he “disconnected one of the more sensitive server racks,” he meant that entirely literally, in that he literally unplugged it, involving a series of improbable (and ridiculously dangerous and stupid) decisions that resulted with him under the floorboards in the data center pulling the plug, after multiple people warned him not to.”

        Do you even have to go under the floorboards to turn off the power?

        “Another manager at the meeting said that couldn’t be done right away. “We can’t get out safely before six to nine months,” she [ahem – my note] said in a matter-of-fact tone. “Sacramento still needs to be around to serve traffic.””

        Reading on, that particular manager appeared rather to be in obstinate child mode. I assume she is no longer with Twitter, along with so many other key contributors.

        Well, all in all an amusing article, even if not intended that way. I suppose this is what Musk time looks like in practice.

    and blog at:

    Meyer’s major fault is placing in blame on “Wall Street” and “monied interests” rather than the Cathedral, although occasionally he does acknowledge with clarity the role of FDR/Truman in making the Global American Empire for more purely liberal ideological reasons.

    Being the vindictive autist sperg I am, I bring up MacArthur again, no doubt to what would be Red’s chagrin. Fuckin’ hell I do miss you Red, but being the entrenched fanatic (a Patton loyalist) I am, I must reiterate that MacArthur was a shit general and a FDR lackey.

    • StJtMS says:

      Meyer looks like he has some interesting things to say however he’s dangerously naïve about the elephant in the room. His “major fault” as Pax correctly points out is actually a crippling defect. In one video (The Anglo-American War on Russia—pt 1) he refers to the early 20th century Revolution in Russia as a “peasant revolt” and thus repeats the hardcore blue-pill propaganda most of us were fed in school. As some may not be aware, 95%+ of the top 300 Bolsheviks were J€wish and the few that weren’t were usually married to J€ws. The revolution was financed largely with Wall Street money from J€wish bankers Jacob Schiff and others. Peasants were often happy to join in the toppling of apple carts but they definitely had no role in fomenting this revolt (nor any other). If this is new to you a good place to start is Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s Two Hundred Years Together. (A article on it is here – https://www.unz.com/article/solzhenitsyns-two-hundred-years-together/ Download to the book can be found here: https://samisdat.in/en/books/two-hundred-years-together-2002)

      Knowing this is key to understanding what’s happening in the West today. In Ukraine for example, knowing that the leaders of the conflict (the US’s Nuland, Kagan, Blinken, et al, and Ukraine’s Zelinsky and some top advisors) all share the same J€wish tribal affiliation is vital to understanding why a military loss is still a win since it means an ever-growing number of dead Ukrainian and Russian slavs. J€ws form a nation within a nation wherever they are. As dual passport holders–as Ben Shapiro says about himself–they can always flee to Israel if things go to hell in the US. If the war mongering crew running US foreign policy foolishly gets the war they want with China, the potentially devastating collateral damage to the US populace will not negatively affect them nor “their” people.

      • S says:

        The Bolsheviks overthrew the provisional government; the provisional government overthrew the czar. They won because they realized the winning strategy was ‘go as far to the left as possible’ and outflanked everyone.

        • StJtMS says:

          Yes indeed, lots of J€wish infighting then–and continuing after. Also noteworthy that the son of one Moses Schiff, broker for the Rothschilds, Jacob Henry Schiff, through his Wall Street firm Kuhn, Loeb and Company financed the early 1917 overthrow of the Romanovs–leading to their eventual murders–as well as financed the Bolshevik revolution later that year.

          • The Cominator says:

            The Bolsheviks overthrowing the provisional government wasn’t financed because it didn’t cost anything… the Bolsheviks winning the civil war was the weird thing and is likely due to Woodrow Wilson and “Colonel” House backing them while pretending to back the whites.

              The Reds often incited peasants and workers to murder their landlords and bosses, then warned them that they’d be harshly punished for this if the Whites won the war.

  15. Reality Check says:

    Except

    https://t.me/agurulev/3756

    Gurulev himself (among many others; this is just the most recent example) describes the Ukrainian tactics completely differently, emphasizing the focus on the machinery and hardly a mention of infantry except in platitudinal assurances about how theirs are better. Meanwhile, what you describe as being what the Ukrainians are doing _now_ corresponds exactly to what the Russians _were_ doing six months ago. Nor do you provide any evidence whatsoever for your counterfactual.

    I know you are trying to manage an online microcult here and maintain a total information vaccuum, but this is ridiculous.

    • jim says:

      Liar.

      This is an entirely surrealistic and far fetched meaning you have artificially imposed on Gurulev, and I doubt you formed it by reading what he wrote, but from what a Cathedral source wrote about what another Cathedral source wrote about what another Cathedral source wrote about Gurulev, and then you dug up a random link to Gurulev that bears no particular relationship to those fourth hands claims about him.

      Obviously the Ukrainians have men near the front line of defense in the Robotyne salient, sometimes in it, and sometimes through it. They don’t have tanks and armored vehicles near it. If they do, show me a geolocated video. If Gurulev says something different, quote him, rather than some fourth hand interpretation of his words by people that want him, and me, dead. The link you gave does not appear to say or imply anything contrary to what I claimed. Supposedly he contradicts what I claimed. Not seeing it.

      Which tactics on the Robotyne salient mean that the Ukrainian offensive tactics consist of marching cannon fodder over minefields under fire from Russian positions on the hills surrounding the valley in which Robotyne is located. The videos of Ukrainian armored vehicles being blow up are all well back from the front.

      Which is consistent with enormous growth of graveyards in the Ukraine, consistent with four hundred thousand casualties over the course of this war so far.

      Note that the Challenger tank whose crew was annihilated recently was located on the safer end of Robotyne. The Ukrainians are holding their tanks and armored personnel carriers in the back, and sending cannon fodder in front, with artillery support from tanks far behind them.

      Ukrainian tactics and strategy indicate that those running this war hate Ukrainians as much or more than they hate Russians, and almost as much as they hate white Americans.

        One story told this way is the Seven Hour War in the Half-Life video game. In short, sometime in the early 2000’s aliens attacked the Earth and killed most of its population, until a mysterious Dr. Breen stepped forward and offered to negotiate with the invaders…

        Dr. Breen is portrayed as a great villain, reviled by all surviving humans, but why? In the 2020’s it’s become obvious that our present rulers hate us and want us all dead, whereas these aliens accepted our surrender and immediately stopped killing us, which makes Dr. Breen a hero in my eyes, even if it was his experiment that opened the inter-dimensional portal that allowed the invasion in the first place.

        • Pseudo-chryssotom says:

          Well, they stopped killing the humans kinetically, but the literal anti-natal sterilization field set up with their spacemagic was also going to do the job eventually, just long enough for the collaborators to be converted into forms more suitable for their purposes while the refuseniks get ontologically demoted.

        • yewotm8 says:

          I thought it was implied that Breen was already in contact with the Combine before pushing for the failed experiment that facilitated their invasion. Which is how he knew how to “negotiate” with them so well. He summoned them in the first place.

          • Mayflower Sperg says:

            Well, good for him, and for us. He saw the present ruling elite niggerizing the entire planet, figured that all attempts to overthrow that elite would fail, and sought to save humanity in some form by summoning aliens to rule us instead. The aliens obviously want us alive, because they allowed us to surrender and live, and I doubt they’re keeping us for meat because almost any other animal on Earth is better suited for that purpose.

            • yewotm8 says:

              They didn’t save humans tho. Their goal was to enslave humanity, forbid reproduction, and drive it to extinction as slave soldiers. Not too different from the literal or metaphorical demons described by Jim.

                I don’t expect the game creators to explain this for the same reasons the creators of Warhammer 40,000 won’t explain how human reproduction works in their universe.

      I have numberless fixes that urgently need doing, and this issue is way down on my list of priorities. I am running wordpress software. A check for wordpress plugins that search comments revealed only Relevancsi, that is a paid product that spies on one’s user base.

      No wordpress site that I am aware of offers comment search, though they should. It is not hard. SQL directly supports search by post, comment author, and date, or any combination of those, and such searches would go mighty fast, because of the b-tree in the database. Search for what is inside comments is considerably more work, and there an unreasonably large number of comments to search through, so in order to make searches complete in reasonable time, it would be necessary to create an ajax database, which would take even more space and considerably more work. Search for comment content on a particular post by content would be easy, and would complete in reasonable time.

      A search widget for comments by date, post, and author, but not comment content, is easy. You do it. A straightforwardly implemented search (regex) over comment content for a limited range of comments selected by date, post, and author, is not hard doable,provided that there is a limit on the number of comments (Display comments in date order, most recent first and if the limit is exceeded, only display the most recent comments meeting the post, date, and time criteria, by using a limit on the number of results that your SELECT statement can return.)

              There was always a big element of ‘shock the bourgeoisie’ back that (though of course not thought of in such terms). You and the bros getting together to own the normie cattle. In fact, it was a lot like digital cattle raids in a way. What was the point of getting together to vandalize some random forum or website somewhere and ruin everyone’s day there? There’s always a good excuse naturally – but the primal energy source above all was the rush of the vandalism itself; showing that You and Your Board were top dogs, and that the gay lolcows get what’s coming to them.

              /i/nvasion and raid culture grew out of this, along with the interrelated subculture of Anonymous. This was the primordial soup guys like Weev, GNAA, and Kirtanner sprung from. (And largely died when guys like the later were converged by glowniggers.)

              This kind of aimless expression of thymos by young men was de rigueur in the mid to late 20th century. Have you ever noticed how the translation of Guy Debord’s pen name is literally ‘edgy guy’? Society of The Spectacle was in effect a description of the Polygon avant la lettre.

        Loosely on the topic of tech guy castration. Starfield is goyslop the game. Makes Baldur’s “Bear” Gate 3 look like GIGACHAD in comparison. Starfield dev team went out of their way to make GAEfield.

        -Many pointless goyslop food items that have no practical game impact. You will eat the bugs and heal nothing.

        -You will romance used up bisexual hag whores and be nagged.

        -Your choice of bros are gay cucks raising the wife’s boyfriend’s daughter.

        -You will have no interesting factions because they are all GAE girl power nigger trannies.

        -You will have no standard RPG choices as there’s only ever one “right” answer, the GAE answer.

        -You will have shit UI because the lead UI programmer is a purple haired bony vegan bitch.

        -You will see all the NPCs are ugly and fat because Bethesda hired ugly landwhale bitches.

        -You will explore Africa in space because niggers be holy.

        -I could easily write 10,000 words and it barely cover everything.

        The one good thing to come from this game is the entertainment value of messing with goyslop/nigger/tranny/hag lovers on various forums, and good lord there are many.

        Just as Tim Cook got castrated, it’s clear all the men of Bethesda got castrated as well. Or maybe not.

          FO4 was already this. And not even just details. The main picture. A bunch of factions, all of them kind of morally ambigous and you cannot ever make a moral choice between good and evil by joining any. Everybody hated the main storyline. But modders esp the Thuggyverse absolutely changed that. In hilarious ways like you can introduce slavery to Diamond City or basically just blow every faction up.

          I do not care much about videogames but I see this as a metaphor for something else. Why do modders regularly outperform game devs now? Because “political correctness” is not simply a list of things to not say or do. It is more like a general lobotomy. If we make any faction actually evil, someone might get offended!

          And not even general lobotomy but hiring for lobotomized people. So one guy made a sci-fi mod for Crusader Kings 2 and then they hired him and it resulted in Stellaris. One unpaid modder did the groundwork for that, the rest was mostly just artworks and game balance. This had nothing directly to do with the forbidden topics of “political correctness”. It is more like generic bioleninism, most of them time they do not dare to hire smart people because they would notice things.

            into Prismatic Crystal Dragon Jesus as the culmination of the main plot. And if that imagery is too subtle for you, there was a gay marriage between two major NPCs to elucidate its significance. Granted the couple consists of two hot lipstick lesbians as NE Asian aesthetics aren’t quite degenerate as Western these days.

            Still, the cultural backdrop of the expansion is Oriental. Magic jade is the power source for this Fairyland Seoul. Quite a vision of what GAE has in store for Zenbros.

            Of the 4 ending options, 3 involve destroying the institute, just like in New Vegas, 3 involve beating the Legion. The Institute is supposed to be the villains; the issue is the Institute is stupid evil and the other 3 factions don’t have any real reason to fight each other.

            ‘So one guy made a sci-fi mod for Crusader Kings 2 and then they hired him and it resulted in Stellaris.’

            Wiz was responsible for Crusader Kings 2Plus. Crisis of the Confederation was a different guy.

            If you crimestop the mating dance and difference between men and women, it becomes difficult to think about power struggles. They search for an explanation for why individuals act and reach for ‘ideas’; unmoored from connection with reality they become increasingly strange. Observe Stellaris and its ethos system; it was stupid to start with, but they dug deeper and we get such gems as Xeno-compatibility.

            That said, basic competence is in the shitter; its clear no one involved knew the term ‘Infinite City Sprawl’

              I think there is a knock on effect from strange inability to notice strange and mysterious female misconduct to inability comprehend or realistically model anyone’s behavior.

            >FO4 was already this.

            It was not.

            The increase of wokeness from Fallout 3 to NV to Skyrim to Fallout 4 felt linear. The decline of RPG elements and general quality felt linear. A sustainable, managed decline so to speak. With HagFeild it went exponential to the power of 10. The bottom completely fell out. It’s like the difference between allowing the asylum inmates to form an inmate committee and sometimes humoring their requests vs having them completely and directly run the asylum.

            Just on the concept of factions:

            In FNV the right or wrong choice depends on your own moral values and judgement. The wrong choice isn’t even necessarily “evil.” Often it’s understandable and respectable, but is “wrong” because of a surprising deal breaker or personal relationship/loyalty. Even the “right” choice can hurt because of sacrifice. It feels gritty and real.

            In FO3/4 the right choice depends on what Bethesda thinks is right. The “bad” choice is still allowed but caricatured as stupid evil. Funny thing is that they kinda failed with the Brotherhood of Steel. Turns out, young men liked it regardless of Bethesda’s meddling. Modders could save the game because it mostly required some minor adjustments.

            HagField, there is no choice. It’s all GAE globalhomo. All the factions are spiritually and morally indistinguishable from each other. Even the pirates have GAE girlbosses. Nearly all the characters are tagged essential, so you can’t even kill the “wrong” NPCs. Even after their quests are done. Nearly all the quest givers are women. The only way modders can save HagField is by complete overhaul of all lore, NPCs, and quests. A complete conversion mod of a scope that you might as well be making your own game. I doubt any individual modder or team is willing to bother.

            Based modders could make their own game in Unreal Engine 5.3, the engine is powerful and easy enough to use, which raises the question why this hasn’t happened. I suspect some quasi government group is actively suppressing crimethought in indie game development.

            What happened to factions happened to all aspects of game design. From UI, to side quests, to NPC design, to dialogue, to aesthetics, to random misc items, to code optimization, to map design, to gameplay loops, to etc etc etc etc. It all went woke and to shit exponentially to the point I really question Bethesda’s ability to even produce the next Elder Scrolls.

              Every scene in every movie, TV show, and video game has to include people of every race and gender identity, which I find hugely distracting. In fact and fiction, Clown World does everything based on the premises that (a) we are all the same, (b) we must celebrate our differences, (c) straight white men are evil incarnate, and so on.

              Jimianity is based on warrior aristocracy, which is itself based on the premise that good weapons are expensive and require years of dedicated training. The industrial revolution made weapons cheap, and the information revolution made them easy to use.

              Thus instead of gallant knights in shining armor, we have land wars of attrition between vast armies of peasant conscripts, while anything operating at sea is immediately destroyed.

              Just one problem: In order to have conscriptable peasants, you must first conscript young women into marriage and motherhood, because they don’t seem inclined to do it of their own accord. Or do Russian and Chinese rulers plan to import their cannon fodder from Africa?

                Mayflower you seem like a good guy, so if you insist on this light blackpilling, your choice.

                But there’s a bunch of stuff I disagree with and I’ll lay it out.

                Mostly this:

                Jimianity is based on warrior aristocracy, which is itself based on the premise that good weapons are expensive and require years of dedicated training.

                Not exactly. It is based on the premise that in-fighting is easy, cooperation is hard. In Christian speak: we are all sinners, and sinning comes easy.

                It is not the weapons and technology that wins battles, it is the cooperation among the men wielding those weapons and technology. That is the tricky part, and that’s the part that Jim’s Christianity seeks to fix. Whether weapons are cheap or not, does not matter. What matters is building a restoration that is able to scale. So that means, first the wife and kids. That is easiest, biggest thing, the 100 dollar bill on the ground. The future belongs to those who show up, and those who show up with the right social technology will show up even further in the future.

                I stress the family part, even though many men are hyping themselves up about war and rifles and whatnot, because that is the part that you have the most control over, as well as the part that’s least likely to get you killed. But let us talk about war.

                We regard it as an excellent thing that anyone, anywhere, can build bomb-dropping drones and 3d printed guns. Note that it is not simple: requires iq and somewhat extensive set-up. Years of tinkering if you start from zero. But again, it is not the weapon in itself that is deadly: it is when you combine those weapons in an effective army that they become deadly. You fight with your brothers at your side — that is what makes it deadly.

                So at this point you tell me: “so what if you have a small army? The state will have a huge army. Because they’re just better at that thing.” Well yes, obviously they are. But we’re not aiming for directly challenging the state. Our aim is to stay under the radar, to make ourselves as slippery a target as possible. The state is a big dumb machine — it goes after the loudest targets. Since in-fighting is so easy, it will have no end of targets to pursue. We will simply not make ourselves a target. Wise as serpents, harmless as doves.

                Long term, it is not the biggest army that wins. It is those who are filled with the holy spirit.

            • Carte Blanche says:

              A complete conversion mod of a scope that you might as well be making your own game. I doubt any individual modder or team is willing to bother.

              That’s been done. Enderal was a totally new game based on Skyrim’s engine that didn’t reuse any of the original records, scripts, models, textures, etc.

              Based modders could make their own game in Unreal Engine 5.3, the engine is powerful and easy enough to use, which raises the question why this hasn’t happened

              That’s been done. Kingdom Come was widely perceived as a response to the trash that the AAA studios were putting out, back when everyone thought the Poles were super based. It was pretty well-received despite having some very clunky game mechanics. In a vacuum, I wouldn’t call it red-pilled on women, but it was at least sort of purple-pilled, and set in a medieval Europe that is entirely white and Christian.

              I suspect some quasi government group is actively suppressing crimethought in indie game development.

              Doubtful. The reasons that “based indies” aren’t crushing AAA are legion:

              – For a 3D game, thousands of man-hours go into art, models, rigging, mocap, and general polish. Fail to put in the required effort and you get Mass Effect: Andromeda.

              – For a 2D game, aesthetics are everything, and /ourguys/ just don’t have very good aesthetics. There are in-between cases, either apolitical guys with enough clout to middle-finger the SJWs, or marginally-talented dissidents, as for example Uncle Ted’s tinhorn comic empire, but the talent pool is tiny.

              – Modern games also need localization, extensive testing, multi-platform and multi-input support, often some sort of multiplayer capability, and so on. More people to pay. Can’t be done on an indie budget, even without full voice acting.

              – Game distribution is mostly gated by Steam, assuming you want to actually get paid. Although Steam is still surprisingly permissive about its content, there probably is some actual censorship or crimestop there.

              – If you want to fund your based game, forget about doing it via Kickstarter, GoFundMe, Patreon, or any of the other crowdfunding sites. They are all run by hardcore SJWs. You’d need to either be independently wealthy or be able to run extremely lean, and see previous points re: “lean”.

              No one’s stopping you from throwing something together in, say, RPG Maker, and distributing it on Steam, but making something that gamers will actually pay to enjoy and pushes an explicitly red-pilled narrative is an entirely different problem. UE4/UE5 is easy enough to get started with, and put together a toy project, sure, but making an actual game with actually interesting gameplay mechanics is another story.

              If you don’t care about narrative and are just looking for the absence of obnoxious globohomo proselytizing then plenty of successful indie games do it – FTL, Dead Cells, Cuphead, etc. But the idea of a “based game” implies a story-based game, probably an RPG, and those require a unique set of talents to produce: art, music, writing, “world building” and so on. Those people tend to be on the left, /ourguys/ do not have access to many of them, and to the extent that we do have them, it is not easy to get them organized to make a game for the same reasons it is not easy to get them organized to do anything else. Effective organization requires Schelling points, legal and police protection, ability to exclude entryists, and so on, and those are banned for /ourguys/ no matter whether we want to produce a game or a movie or a book or blog post.

              As far as modders, you’re looking at the ones specifically trying to clean up Globohomo’s footprints but you’d be shocked at just how degenerate the modding community, and especially the Bethesda modding community, is in general. For every mod removing stupid pronouns, there are a dozen more adding horrifying things like bestiality and futanari. Taken as a whole, modders are far, far worse than game developers and studios. What makes mods different is that you, the player, get to pick and choose which mods to install, and you can ignore the 99.9% that are disgusting or simply bad, and use the .1% that actually improve on the original game.

              Don’t count on either indies or modders to solve the problems in the gaming industry. There are more bad ones than good ones, and the best that the good ones can generally do is make a little niche for themselves. Having grand games is the same problem as having grand cathedrals and having ships that go to the moon; requires not only the absence of explicit suppression but an entire society oriented around the same (positive) ideals.

    Jim,

    i have to ask. what the hell is wrong with these people (everybody involved on the Ukraine end of things)?

    the leadership seems desirous of breaking their manpower & materiel on the Russian defenses.

    their military, perhaps at this point warranting only the loosest definition of the word, itself appears positively determined to die pointlessly and in service to traitors & their own racial enemies.

    and the backers of both that military and its leadership, decorated & civilian, appear still to believe that this war might yet be prosecuted across 10 more years.

    thus i am compelled to inquire of other apparently sane minds, are these people fucking nuts? why… is any of this that is happening being participated in by any of its participants?

    it looks ludicrous, Jim. the more i learn, the more i am having trouble crediting that any of this might be real but for retardation/insanity of those involved. thank you friend.

    • jim says:

      Your fundamental confusion is about us and them.

      The people running this war in Washington and Kiev don’t think Russians are the enemy. Russia is the far enemy, normal Ukrainians are the near enemy, and normal Americans the nearer enemy. Their primary aim is to destroy the near enemy, the Ukrainians, and me, and you. If they appear to be succeeding, I will move to Dubai. Russia is considering creating another Dubai on Kunashir island. If they try it and succeed, moving there.

      The magic ingredient of Dubai that makes Dubai Dubai, however, is an army and a faith. I am not at all sure Russia has an army capable of sustaining a Dubai. The nasty business with Yevgeny Prigozhin, would indicate it does not. But the The Patriarch of Moscow and all Rus’ has been doing at least some work on making Russian Orthodoxy a faith capable of sustaining a Dubai.

      • Karl says:

        Why Dubai? Isn’t that country too small and its army too weak? No nukes. What’s to keep NATO from rolling over it?

        I’m considering going to Belarus, Kazakhstan or some other allies of Russia as soon as they start drafting Germans for this war.

        • someDude says:

          Jim used the example of Dubai as a state that is resistant to any internal sabotage and defection which GAE is not and Russia is only by a bit.

          But Dubai’s weakness, as you pointed out, is resistance to external aggression.

        • Western Taliban says:

          Who is going to roll over Dubai? You have to be kidding me you seriously mean to say NATO, as if the rest of the Muslim countries, Russia and China would let that happen lol

          NATO is a meal on wheels, we are already in WWIII and NATO is getting destroyed in Russia while India, China and the Arabs only play “trading partners” while realigning their economies to fully expunge the “rules based order”. If they got involved they could roll every single NATO country like trash. And Putin is still being very moderate.

          • China depises Islam says:

            Islam is 100% against any and all Governments and Peoples who are not Islam. Period, End Of Story. If you don’t know that, you’re an ignorant fool who needs to watch at least the Christian Polemics against Islam.

            So dont kid yourself, China despises Islam and wants it gone, China is 100% against foreign invaders having residence upon their Communism.

            To the Chinese Govt, Islam is nothing more than an Oil tank and a Rare Earth Metals mine, that’s it. China chooses to exploit that, which only builds up the strength of Islam. That’s bad. At least until those resources are raped out. Whereupon Islam will hopefully fall back to drinking camel piss and whiffing dung.

            Actually, for that matter, if there were a 3rd millenium restoration Crusade against Islam to either, accept their full public disavowance of Islam and Muhammad and their full conversion upon knowledge and faith to Christian (or whatever else), or to push them all back to Arabia by whatever means necessary, that Crusade would get my full support.

          Not going within a hundred miles of Kalingrad unless Putin takes the Vilnus corridor and good chunk of the neighboring Nato countries, Lithuania and Poland. Kalingrad is on the list for the next Nato escalation, except it was supposed to take place after the Ukrainian offensive took Crimea. The Global American Empire is plotting siege and color revolution, open society and all that, which will fail, and when color revolution fails, as it will, is going to bomb and shell the place flat.

          If the spring offensive had taken place in spring and had met Nato expectation, Kalingrad would be being shelled right now. They had it all planned. (Well, the plan was that the population would throw flowers at their liberators and celebrate democracy with the gay parade and the destruction of statues of white males, but they always have a backup plan for when the flowers are not forthcoming.)

          If it looks like Russia is going to take Kiev and install a more cooperative government, might go ahead with the plan anyway, either to take the pressure off Kiev, or just to try a different way of keeping the pressure up on Russia while they forget about Ukraine.

          A good place for a Hong Kong for Western Refusniks would be to upgrade Kunashir’s port and airport, and make Kunashir island a free trade zone. Seems like a much safer location. This is under consideration, but so far no action.

          But for a free trade zone to become a Hong Kong, a Singapore, or a Dubai, requires certain social and cultural pre-requisites – which pre-requisites Putin is afraid of.

    • Carte Blanche says:

      Yes.

      They are nuts in the same sense that a paranoid schizophrenic is nuts: their priors, or articles of faith as you might call them, are all wrong, even ludicrous, but once you accept all those priors, including the ones that contradict the other ones, then their behavior looks completely rational.

      If you believe that the government of Ukraine is totally legitimate; if you believe that secular, technocratic, performative democracy is the only legitimate form of government; if you believe that gay parades are the only legitimate form of self-actualization; if you believe that every war that America has ever started has been a just war and that NATO is merely a benevolent police force; if you believe the International Community and Rules-Based Order are real things; then Putin really does look like an evil Hitleresque dictator who must be stopped at any cost.

      Like I said, all of those priors — those “ifs” — are entirely wrong, but the conclusion they arrive it is indeed the logical outcome of those priors, and explains why no peace is possible and no agreement will be honored.

      If nuts means acting randomly and irrationally, then not nuts. If nuts means living in a fantasy world, completely nuts.

    • Your Uncle Bob says:

      As a wise man once said, “These people want you broke, dead, your children raped and brainwashed, and they think its funny.”

      That’s it. That’s all there is. That’s not code for anything else, I’m not exaggerating for effect, that’s the simple and literal truth.

      In Ukraine substitute the Kagans and Nulands for “these people,” and Ukrainians for “you.” But its coming here too if they can ever swing it.

      Like an acute narcissist as a person, our ruling class is as a group. All else equal they’d prefer to be rich and successful, sure, but they want to see you suffer even more. A bad enough narcissist will burn themselves just to see you suffer too, and that’s the position we’re in with regards to our “elites.”

      The normie-tier conservative or right-winger with ancestors from the colder climes of Europe can’t even process that. Faced with open, avowed, malevolent evil they don’t believe them and act accordingly, they sputter. “Buh-buh-but WHY? Why would someone do that, what’s their real plan, what’s their secret triple bank shot that makes this make sense to my Fox News watching, nigger-ball cheering, golden retriever-brained, Williams Syndrome suffering mind? They can’t REALLY mean what they’re coming out and telling us, so what’s really going on? Or are they just that retarded?”

      No, none of those, you’ve just got a bad case of reality blindness. (But stick around, you’ve come to the right place for that.)

      Offline, face to face, once I started to look for it I could see the needle skip on the record behind people’s eyes when talking about this kind of thing. Especially anti-white and anti-Christian hatred. Not liberals, conservatives of the Trump voting and Fox News watching stripe. Tell them Hillary, Obama or Biden are evil and they’ll agree wholeheartedly. They’ll even add some other supporting evidence.

      But give them a minute and they reset. They claim to think Biden or whoever is evil, but they can’t reason one single step out from that. They skip back to wondering what the real plan is, who the real paymasters are, what’s wrong with them? Maybe China runs the ADL? Maybe the State Department want the Ukrainian women? (If that was all, there are quite evidently easier and cheaper ways to get Ukrainian women.)

      It’s frustrating as anything when you first see it. The good news is I’m starting to see enough cracks to be able to conceive of a preference cascade within my lifetime. Though things are likely to get worse before they get better, as Jim says, trees don’t grow forever, they grow until they fall.

  22. dharmicreality says:

    While the West is naturally mostly focussed on Ukraine/Russia, what is happening in the rest of the world?

    I don’t follow the news all that much but from where I sit, that the GAE is shrinking in influence by the day is not in doubt any more. Russia/China want a leadership role in the alternative rules based order, but one that is increasingly “multipolar” (whatever that means).

    India also desperately wants a prime seat at a rules based order but not necessarily a GAE centric one (I call it GloboSansHomo). All efforts of the so-called “Global South” seems to be centered around creating a multi-polar GloboSansHomo to replace Globohomo-centric GAE. Recent efforts by India to showcase itself as a space power and also successfully hosting the G20 also points in this direction. The “rules based order” that Modi speaks about is not the GAE order. Modi speaks of “Vasudeiva kudumbakam” (the world is one family) which means he is keen on India taking the leadership role with Russia/Chinia).

    Increasingly it is also obvious that the world outside GAE and its satellites couldn’t care less about Ukraine. Even in the usual libtard newspapers here, Ukraine is now a footnote in the middle pages. The West has found it well nigh impossible to manufacture outrage over Ukraine by pleading, bullying or threats. There is markedly less enthusiasm over aspects of Globohomo like Gaia worship and LGBTQWERTY in most parts of the world, even though major aspects of feminism is firmly entrenched.

    The biggest problem for this “new order” is of course India-China conflict. While BRICS is emerging as a somewhat significant bloc, India vs China border and other issues persist, making this alliance somewhat fragile.

    From all this, I conclude that a real World War III while not impossible is highly improbable. The rest of the world simply do not care for GAE’s conflicts any more. I see that the present Russia/Ukraine war may evolve more as a wider Euro-centric War and maybe localized conflicts will arise in other GAE influential areas.

    GAE’s ability for color-revolution has waned significantly.

    Of course, all this is still not going to lead to a magical restoration. What is means is that Leftism is being rolled back from its current extreme levels to a moderate “Socialism with unprincipled exceptions”.

    Even if the new GloboSansHomo doesn’t take off, I still do not see GAE able to restore enough influence to manufacture a truly global World War.

        Then the shark drowns, and the new regime dials back the leftism and locks it at about the level of today’s Russia: Zero tolerance for crime, no overt homosexuality, and celebrate diversity Epcot-style, but women still go to college, work in nondescript office jobs, and see motherhood as an expensive, time-consuming hobby for losers with nothing better to do.

        • jim says:

          Yes, but it is a lot easier to overthrow a dead faith than a live faith. Though the Roman faith was dead for centuries before Christianity became the state religion. Easier, but not necessarily easy.

          • Dharmicreality says:

            There are many symptoms that globohomo is dying in most parts of the world, especially where the GAE influence has shrunk considerably. The shark is clearly having less and less room to swim.

            • Mayflower Sperg says:

              Yes, but my point is that the death of globohomo does not necessarily mean the end of feminism.

              • jim says:

                Obviously. Russia is feminist, India is feminist, Brazil is feminist. China is feminist.

                The Alawites were and are a significant faith based resistance to Globohomo, but they have for millennia had a policy of taking on the protective coloration of the dominant ruling faith, and did so with Globohomo. They implemented exact and precise female equality as thoroughly as they did so insincerely. Globohomo detected the insincerity and attempted to genocide them, largely because of that issue. But the alawites did make it look and sound that they were conceding to female equality.

                Feminism is sustained by soft power, but soft power is sustained by hard power. With hard power no more, possibilities arise. If Global American Empire loses in Ukraine, non converged faiths no longer need fear genocide in holy war.

                Russia accepted feminism, first as Soviet Communism, then even more so under Globohomo domination, and continued to do so in its efforts to reach membership of the West. But the Gay Pride Parade, the vandalism of Churches from without and within, and the destruction of statues was a bridge too far.

      I’m inclined to agree that India, South America and large parts of Africa will probably succeed in staying out of a war of Nato, China and Russia, but such a war would be big enough to merrit the name “World War III”. That war doesn’t look improbable in my view.

      NATO keeps provoking Russia; if keeps doing that long enough chances are that it will someday succeed. In addition, there seems to be a faction in the US government that would like to have a limited war with China. Hard to say whether that faction will be strong enough to decide on foreign politics, but if it becomes strong enough it will get its limited war with China, which will then quickly surpass whatever limits the US government would like have on that war.

Where all that matters is the degree paper. With how fucked government bureaucracy is, the slightest of competence would have you at GS-11 to 13 within 5 to 10 years making around 100k before any benefits and or untaxed TDY money which can easily add on another 50k to 100k to total compensation.

      • Mayflower Sperg says:

        Contra Jim, I think it’s entirely possible to teach useful skills in a classroom setting, if a few conditions are met. You need good teachers of course, and you need to segregate students by ability so slow learners don’t hold back the whole class. For subjects beyond the three R’s, segregation means ruthlessly flunking out under-performers, because if you can’t understand pointers, you’ll never be a software engineer.

        Lower ed in Russia is K-11 instead of K-12 because children need an extra year at home to learn such a complex language, but they graduate at the same age. If they then go on to college, which is free, they all receive the same curriculum for another six years; they don’t major in specific subjects.

        Foreign languages are completely absent at all levels of public education, I suppose because the teachers all left to work at private language schools. I used to think Moscow State University was an exception to this overall mediocrity, but now that I’m friends with one of its students, no.

        • Your Uncle Bob says:

          Thinking about just how much education could be different:

          I can imagine a functioning apprenticeship culture, with boys starting off in everything from trades, factory work to medicine or airliner piloting as early as 12. Obviously not flying the plane or performing the surgery yet, but being around.

          I can imagine homeschooling as the default for any family of even modest means and intelligence, with public schooling a fallback for the poorest and least intelligent. With women out of the workforce and the FIRE+woke taxes repealed, this becomes entirely possible economically.

          Or public schooling superficially similar to today’s in that funded by property taxes and staffed by ed school graduates (ours not theirs), but each school and building sharply limited by size, so a city full of one room schoolhouses rather than big block incarceries. Each school kept under the Dunbar number, counting all grades, teachers and other staff.

          Or abolish education degrees entirely, even with our priests in charge, and require subject matter college degrees (math, english, history) to teach, with perhaps an education certificate of a few weeks at most.

          Or, higher grades could have online schooling with a lecture format, drawing on the dozen very best teachers in the country or the world, instead of every average teacher teaching their 30 students online as we tried during the lockdown.

          Or we could have computerized, even AI driven subject lessons modeled after current smart computerized tests, where every wrong answer gives you an easier question (now problem, or lesson) and every right answer gives you a slightly harder one.

          The American system of education was first the Prussian model of education. It was adopted and spread deliberately by specific actors, who I originally identified as communists but now could recognize as members or forbears of the Cathedral or Harvard, simply the leftmost of their time.

          So – is the big box + classroom + age segregation model of education automatic in modern societies and large populations, is it merely likely due to economies of scale plus rational ignorance on the part of parents and citizens, or is it entirely path dependent, another result of enemy action?

          I grant you possible to teach useful skills in a classroom setting, but is it optimal, ideal, or even necessary?

          I do not know the answers to those two questions. I’m stuck at the level of enjoying the freedom of even thinking those thoughts. It’s been a years long lag from first encountering John Holt’s critique of public schooling, and only and merely thinking about how to salvage something out of it (a microcosm of the American “conservative” mindset), to thinking about what would actually be ideal.

            Childcare is a major factor. People send their kids to school to get them out of their hair.

            Unschooling gets pretty good results, but this is the result of high exposure to skilled and knowledgeable adults. I conjecture that if you just put the kids in a corral and forgot about them the results would be less good.

                It was built from the top down by holy war and conquest. A lot of that conquest, most of it, was piously gloved in soft power, but soft power was always backed by hard power, and when people failed to comply with soft power, terrible wars and frightful human costs ensued. Syria, Libya, and the Ukraine are recent examples, the War of Northern Aggression was one of many, many, older examples.

                Why cannot the priest call out groomers in the schools? He is persuaded that this is spontaneous choice by children freely choosing on their own initiative, because of what is going to happen to him if he opens his mouth. You depict this as a spontaneous mass movement from below by popular initiative. Observe what happens when people decline to be persuaded.

          • Mayflower Sperg says:

            The problem I see with apprenticeship is that it requires cooperation with local industry, which industry might not even exist.

            American middle schools used to have stoves, sewing machines, wood shops, and chemistry labs to teach hands-on skills, but those cost money and risked lawsuits from injured students. I don’t think Russia has these amenities even at the college level, but I can’t investigate because foreigners are forbidden to set foot in any university building unless enrolled there.

            You don’t need any special equipment to learn a foreign language, but having teachers who speak it really helps.

              The best apprentices are sons and nephews, the best masters are fathers and uncles. With education and employment, power must left in the hands of fathers.

              Rightism isn’t really imposed top down, as it would be impossible to impose agency. Rightism acknowledges failure is the default, and an acceptable outcome. With a restored family power structure, basic education and apprenticeship is the natural outcome, undertaken at their own expense for their own benefit.

              Mayflower;
              These are valid objections in the present day, but meaningless for discussion after a win. Will a Jimian Christian monarchy balk at stoves in schools?

              Re apprenticeship, my local area still has industry, albeit some of it disbursed across small shops, not all concentrated in giant corporate factories.

              But more importantly, how many millions of jobs have been outsourced by the FIREization of the economy? How many steel jobs did we send to China, and how many microchip jobs to Taiwan? Admitting we’re not getting those back any time soon, if we don’t get them back post-win there hasn’t really been a win.

              FIREization is, taken on its own, one of the most unlikely foes to beat. I would despair of winning at it entirely if it had to be done only as its own battle, without first taking on Woke. But if its done in passing with taking on Woke, or done in the mop up phase after salting Harvard, its likely to prove surprisingly easy. Our side should stop granting the premise that of course jobs go overseas, and of course real wages fall, and so on. Clearly they do, but call it out and offer a better deal.

              Adam;
              Not sure if that was an objection or an aside. “Functioning apprenticeship culture” could well describe a take your son to work culture, as well as a guild culture. I did not intend it to imply federal education department, centrally directed apprenticeship program.

              • jim says:

                It has suddenly become obvious that a FIRE economy cannot fight wars. The Deep state is mostly responding to this by stubborn denial, but there are clearly some deep state elements that want radical return to the production economy. Unless they send the tanks into Harvard and give some free long distance swimming lessons they are likely to run into the same headwinds as Trump did and the same bumpy ride the Thermidoreans suffered.

                The original Thermidoreans ran into problems from their right and their left. So they called in Napoleon, a competent military officer with impeccable leftist credentials. But competent military officers with good left wing credentials tend to be in short supply, for war is inherently reactionary, so a regime that tries to halt the left singularity and set a slightly less insane level of leftism is apt to call in a Beria, a Monck, or a Deng. Unfortunately our military has been purged from top to bottom of potential Dengs, Berias, and Moncks.

                Beria came from the secret police, not the military. Trump reports some good people in Military intelligence, and some good lower ranking generals. Perhaps he is right, but I suspect normality bias.

          Rather than ‘master-race and untermenschen’, there are other terms one can use, such ‘both jew and human’, or ‘skypes and non-skypes’, or ‘untermenschen and master-race’, and so on.

          • Carte Blanche says:

            Meh. In keeping with memes like “goyslop” and older alt-right memes like “the goyim know”, the term’s been coopted to describe white Christians — or more accurately Churchians/McChristians — who are directly targeted for subversion and/or allow themselves to be subverted. Probably a riff on the Noahide laws, and not unlike the Muslim dhimmi class.

            It serves that rhetorical purpose just fine, and I see no need to turn it into an argument over racial superiority. The Jewish deli owner is not my enemy, nor is the Jewish jeweler or any of the Trump voters with middling intellects wearing silly fur hats.

            Besides, the political class (and make no mistake, it is a real class, having achieved revolutionary class consciousness some time around 2012 AKA year 4 of the Era of the Lightbringer) is largely and increasingly a mass of deracinated mystery meat, none of which deserves to be called human regardless of ancestry.

            The Jews in Washington — rather, ex-Bolshies and ex-Trots who happen to be Jewish — have a raging hate boner for Slavic peoples in general and Russia in particular, but the non-Jews are happy to go along with it in order to wet their beaks, and those of their friends in the Intelligence “Community” and the NGOs and the defense contractors.

Impact and effect are almost the same thing as leftmost in practice as leftmost, since it is easier to destroy than to build, easier to hurt than help, and leftism is always a mob chasing the shakiest applecart. But that project being accomplished, each faction then competes to be the leftmost and to have the most impact and effect.

                  Most impact, and leftmost, both lead in practice to that they want you broke, dead, and your children raped. Thus Puritan Christianity became trancedentalist postChristianity, and eventually, flat out demon worship.

        • Kunning Drueger says:

          Soros built a massive influence and patronage network of NGOs and non-profits throughout the ’90s. This creature has a life of its own, but it is fair and accurate to just call it “Soros.” This massive meta network is the lymphatic system of the GAE. They operate under the concept that obscurity is security, so if you start to dig down into any given event, you will be confronted with myriad symbols, acronyms, and organizations that all have different ostensible reasons for existing. You will have to pile through millions of words, all of it written by an actual human, but all of it also with a singular purpose: confuse the uninitiated, enervate the opposed, and energize the faithful. a million words to say one thing: We are all that matters.

          I think Soros did all this stuff because he was clever and greedy, but the ideology that powers his internal drive is the same stuff that brought us the Frankfurt School and bolshevism. It is that timeless demon that forever whispers in the ear of mankind.

          weather open society foundation was actively involved in Kiev or not, I do not know, though. I would bet they were. more critical, The methodology and strategy of open society is reproduced and scaled across the globe, with foggy bottom being the Nexus. It bears repeating, the parallel to a lymphatic system is, in my opinion, the best analogy for it. It is constantly circulating, and it swells up at any given point either consciously or unconsciously depending on circumstances.

          • Carte Blanche says:

            It’s well-known what Soros does in general, being a cutout of the US State Department tasked with running the pre-bombing stages of every color revolution and making certain “investments” in distressed currencies guaranteed to pay off as the result of said color revolution. I just wasn’t sure what he was up to in Ukraine specifically.

            Being entirely or partially behind the Maidan coup makes sense. Ukraine having always been a cesspool of corruption, I’ve never really followed their politics, so aside from recognizing the “coup” as the obviously fake and gay event it was, I didn’t dig too deep into who was really behind it. Could well have been the Soros clan.

            • Kunning Druegger says:

              I think agents and apparatuses of the Soros were deployed/utilized for the Maidan Coup, but I don’t think it was their operation. My working thesis is:

              When the USSR disintegrated, an unholy union of academics, politicians, bureaucrats, and businessmen took up the unholy project of “democratizing” Russia and the Soviet Satellites. Soros the man was heavily involved, and his involvement lead to the creation of The Soros. When Putin took power in 2000, he quickly began opposing the Unholy Union. The Soros was probably like a sea anemone, retracting appendages where it encountered resistance, filter feeding off of migrants, expatriates, and capital, and putting down roots where the current, temperature, and resources were beneficial. The Unholy Union was more aggressive and spiteful. When they lost their grip of Russia proper, they shifted their attention and efforts to Ukraine primarily. As Putin’s Russia became more powerful and capable, they estimated that their operation in Ukraine had numbered days, and initiated the Maidan Coup. The Soros was very helpful in doing this, but it is engaged across many fronts, horizontally and vertically, so Ukraine was just one of their areas of interest. But the Unholy Union was focused on Ukraine, possibly because of the crypto-feudalist structure that is operated by the American political class (McCain, Kerry, Mining Congolmerates, Industrial Conglomerates get Ukraine, other political warlords and different corporate entities get Central Asia, still others get Central America, etc.), and if they lost control, they would be existentially diminished compared to the other feudal agglomerations. So they used their retainers and tools to install a friendly governing structure that would happily perpetrate a genocide in the Donbas, steal from the population, crank out gasses and grains and guns, etc. As Putin’s Russia continued to rise, the situation became uncontainable in the Donbas and exploded outward.

              [I came to some interesting conclusions writing this out. I always struggled with idea that Soros was taking orders from someone, but typing this out, it all kind of locked into focus. I know it’s kind of a meander, but I at least derived some value from it lol.]

              Here’s a fascinating little thread I saw that also contributed to my thought process:

              https://x.com/TrumpWasHere/status/1699788187017830524

              Here’s the content for my non-clicker niggers:

              “President-Elect Biden’s feebleness and Inattention are manifest. This makes him, not a mystery, but a perfect test case for how the administrative state evolves its ideology.
              Biden is clearly not “the decider” of anything material. So others are executing the office of the President.
              I’m not focused on precisely who they are, or whether Dr Jill or Mr Klain has the upper hand at any given moment. I do postulate that they are legion; there is no single “secret President”.
              This seems extremely plausible.
              So the entity we call “Biden” is best understood as a group without an official demarcation.
              The best analogy is a “soliton” — a particle physics term for a coherent, self-stabilizing wave packet.
              Individual members of “Biden” — let’s abbreviate that as MOB — can propose actions for “Biden” to take.
              I will also drop the scare quotes hereinafter, and will refer to the human as “Joseph R Biden” if that unlikely necessity should surface.
              How do MOB choose a desired action for Biden? They seek the intersection of their personal preferences with what is possible; i.e., with what can gain consensus within Biden.
              And — most crucially — how do MOB choose which actions they will consent to? What will gain the stamp of consensus?
              If the MOB are strongly ideological, this might dominate their decision. But in the main they wish to avoid losing face, or losing the currency of trust.
              Therefore they will almost always support the proposals they expect others to support, and the converse.
              This recursion immediately collapses in the familiar way; every member wants to be the best yes-man.
              They stabilize the soliton.
              Next, what ideology emerges from this decision process?
              There are two ways to demonstrate loyalty: unstinting support for recognized allies, and unbending opposition to agreed opponents.
              So Biden will never withdraw a nomination, or replace a failure like Mayorkas. Even if they are unhappy with the result, no MOB can propose or support a course correction without appearing disloyal.
              The soliton has momentum.
              Loyalty can devolve into back-scratching. The left is particularly vulnerable to this, as it drives the “logic of parasitism” (must credit @CovfefeAnon).
              Whatever gives my leftist friends more funding and power, I will therefore support and praise.
              And Biden is incapable of initiating anything bipartisan, or supporting a bipartisan measure when it carries a taint of Republicanism. Because for a MOB, early support for a non-partisan issue carries risk of being perceived as “aiding the enemy”.
              The blob swims left.
              Though other blobs — Trump’s loose cloud of grifters, the NeverTrump goblins, etc — swim in their own direction, Only on the left does this merge seamlessly with the Logic of Parasitism so that ideological drift enhances power.
              Because there is no real loyalty, the perception of loyalty is assiduously maintained.
              Because there is no real ideology, Biden as a whole has a near-complete ideological filter.
              This won’t be new to readers of Moldbug or @eugyppius1.
              But it’s interesting how Joseph R Biden’s dementia causes the coalescence of a perfect microcosm of these issues.
              I didn’t notice it until @ErrataRob forced me to think about the phrase “Biden’s DOJ.” “

              • TheDividualist says:

                Isn’t Soros just a completely obvious CIA front?

                1) The CIA needs money. If they are financed by tax money, they have to tell politicians how they spent it. There goes secrecy. Politicians leak because they buy good press with insider information. Suppose they get money from the market. What do they have to sell? Information. Who can turn that into money? A speculator. Think Rotschilds after Waterloo. This kind of thing absolutely works and if I was the CIA I would do exactly this.

                2) The kind of open society the OSF wants is the kind of society that happily joins the GAE. They don’t even need full time professional agents anymore, the OSF does this overtly and when they need something done covertly they like how to follow someone and gather some blackmailable material, they can just give specialized training to someone from the OSF.

                So in other words, the financing does not even have to literally go to the CIA. Soros mostly just finances the OSF doing the CIA’s job. And then the CIA can tell the politicos they spent the tax money on training only and would not even lie. It is not them but an OSF employee photographing military officers in Pakistan having gay sex or whatever a CIA operation is typically like.

                Evidence: simply this is how I would do it. It simply makes sense.

    I would expect female battalions (conscripted or not) to to freeze in the face of a serious attack. Some of them would get some shots off but on the whole, they’ll mostly just stare as Russian troops advance, with the female hindbrain interpreting the assault as potential mates overcoming token resistance.

    But, so far, this is just nurses and doctors. We may not get to observe large scale female troop deployments. Regardless, I doubt the Russians are sufficiently redpilled to simply move up and take the women battalions captive. They’ll follow typical procedure and marinate them in artillery fire.

          The increasing insanity and evil of the Cathedral line is resulting in a certain amount of disbelief. This was apparent with the latest Trump charges. Since he has been charged with so many things, for so long, everyone is getting jaded. And, similarly, trannies are just over the top, The earlier trannies made a genuine, though entirely unsuccessful, effort to pass, but now they are getting into everyone’s faces.

          On the Ukraine, the Cathedral is committed to its media / soft power centered strategy: Create victory by announcing it and punishing anyone who doubts. Which strategy was highly successful in many color revolutions, and when it did not work, they just bombed the unpersuaded nation flat, rendering their persuasion in other countries quite persuasive. In a war of attrition with a peer power, this strategy leaves something to be desired.

          What happened with the British Challenger tank is emblematic of this war. The turrent was blown off. British announce the Challenger as success. Supposedly it protected its crew. Since the turret is made of thick steel, and what is inside the turret is mere flesh, we may conclude that the mere flesh inside the tank was sprayed over the landscape as a fine rain and the crew is now, like hundreds of thousands of other Ukrainians, “missing”. But so long as everyone believes that western tanks work great and are cutting up the Russians, who cares. These guys do not really believe that external reality exists, a viewpoint likely to lead to correction in nuclear fire.

          The reason they are not agreement capable is that they don’t really believe that Putin exists, hence incapable of making an agreement with him.

      Europe will not be expecting resistance to sending Ukrainians back to Ukraine, but is likely to encounter it. Methods similar to those applied in Ukraine are likely to be coming down in Europe.

      At the moment Ukrainian refugees in Europe are each more patriotic than each of the others. I anticipate a sudden striking diminution in this enthusiastic patriotism among the men. The women will doubtless remain enthusiastically patriotic until it is their turn. Polish turn coming up next, German turn shortly thereafter.

There will be sunflower bouquets, marching bands playing “Батько наш – Бандера”, and cattle-cars with welded doors. Some of the passengers may even get to the front alive. Very traditionally German.

            The German police is stretched to the limit. There are simply not enough German police officers to deport all Ukrainian men from Germany, even if every police officer would be motivated and willing to do so.

            As soon as there are even a few wounded German police officers, most will not want to deport any Ukrainians. German police is already looking away when they see Arabs or negroes comitting crimes, never mind civil offences, because they know that there is a significant probability of violent resistance.

            The traditionally German police is gone. Trust me on that. I live in Germany.

                Not what Karl said.

                What Karl said was that consequences of compliance are likely to be worse than the consequences for killing a police officer.

                Which likely they are, particularly as if you have half a brain, you can likely get away with killing a police officer. The incompetence and inefficiency of law enforcement continues to astonish me.

                The worst case outcome of resistance:(you have to kill a police officer) are not that much worse than the outcome of compliance, and generally you can get away with non compliance if you don’t stand in the way of the bulldozer, but combine in your face resistance with appropriate evasive action. Cops are lazy, and don’t want trouble. If it is work to get you, and likely to be dangerous, their normal inefficiency redoubles. You don’t want to kill them, they don’t want to be killed, and if requires effort to create a situation where you might have to kill them, the work is unlikely to be forthcoming. The normal inefficiency and incompetence of public servants is redoubled when efficiency and competence is potentially dangerous.

                  You guys live in a la-la land. They will not be sending bobbies. They are not sending bobbies. There are 30k+ strong occupying force in Germany alone. Most refugees that are targets of these repatriation orders are not in countries within easy travel distance to Minsk. Good luck trying to “stab lazy cops” in Nevada, lol.

                  The press-gangs in Ukraine are composed of the same disposable demographic the recruits are. You can easily (the inimitable bureaucracy that is the post-communist armed forces inevitably do) assign a percentage of the press-ganged recruits to replace the losses in the press-gangs.

                  You have correctly identified that the lack of leadership and lack of co-ordination means resistance is not possible, but your recipe for action is individual leaderless heroism. Most people are not heroic, and they should call the FSB from a burner phone, and get the leadership and co-ordination from there. Or something. Definitely not whatever you guys tell them to do, because you guys have no skin in the game, and no idea.

                  Setting of incentives using judicious application of violence is the core competence of the military. Apart from logistics, it is arguably the only competence. The grunt in Donbas is very much afraid of the 20km of landmines in front of him, but he (or soon, she) is even more afraid of his commanding officer 20km behind him, and the cluster bombs zeroed in on said grunt’s current position. Many of the draftees survive, and the frontline is quite possibly months away, and there will be many opportunities to dodge during those months. Whereas the idiots that heed your action plan and try stabbing their way out through a group of two dozen MPs with a kitchen knife, will be all dead within a few days, one way or another.

                  Non-compliance works for the Arabs, because they have unity of ideology, leadership, and are constantly being provoked by outrageous things such as ambulance crews giving out condoms and free abortions, then posting about it on Facebook. It also works, of course, because the Government both funds them and declines to prosecute, even as they post their exploits on TikTok. If it were in the Government to have a 5th column comprised of Uke draft dodgers, or to give them free refuge in Canada like they did during Vietnam, that’s what would happen. But they need meat for the meatgrinder, so we see in stark relief that accommodation of Arab non-compliance has always been very much elective.

                  According to this blog, violence is not an effective means to fight globo-homo, except for this pet project of yours where inexplicably this is a very clever exploit that will win the game for the Uke draft dodgers. Conspicuously, the exploit changes every few months. The people who are going to the front line this week were told few months ago to shoot their commanding officers. Which no longer works (it never worked), reason for which explained in this very post. So you have a new very clever plan (will also never work). Unfortunately, you fags are quite influential, and lots of people will repeat this idiocy, simply because it is coming from Jim.

                  When considering non compliance, watch “a policeman’s lot is not a happy one” in the “pirates of penzance”, which accurately addresses the topic.

                  Police are lazy inefficient, and ineffective at the best of times. MP3s are even more so, and sending Ukrainian press gangs is unwise, because their habitual and customary methods are illegal in Europe, and they will not be protected by the unusual and special efficiency with which the law enforcement goes after cop killers.

So their normal inefficiency is redoubled.

                  Guerilla resistance is not effective at overthrowing governments, unless you have major foreign or internal elite backing. Works great for resisting coercion.

                  To overthrow a government, you need a Caesar. To throw sand in the wheels of government, not so much. Not getting sent to the Ukrainian meat grinder is similar to having marriage 1.0. Lots of people get away with it, and violent resistance to violent attempts to suppress marriage 1.0 are common and effective.

                  If someone attempts to evade state coercion on some matter, he is likely to find it surprisingly effective, provided he does not make a spectacle and stand in front of the steamroller. If he attempts to evade state coercion on some matter and is willing to die fighting, he is likely to find his evasion even more surprisingly effective, rendering it unnecessary to actually die fighting.

                  Mayflower Sperg, yes there are some Ukrainians in my area. The females that I have met are too old to be potential wives or still children.

                  The worst I can say is that their driving and parking is not up to German standards, at least when they are driving cars with Ukrainian license plates. I suspect that this is not for lack of skill, but has to do with the fact that any tickets for violations are sent to Ukraine where the car is registered.

                  With “Ukrainians” I mean only those that look European and have a Christian background. There are some Muslims and even some negroes here that claim to be Ukrainians. I don’t talk to those and avoid them like the plague.

They will, of course, be killing disgusting Gestapo officers who force them into penal battalions to fight Putler and Shoigula.

            There are a few mistakes ive noticed Hannibal making that cost him the war

            1. Not capturing the 4000 men that escaped him at Cannae. Had he done that he would have caught Scipio before that genius could become the incredible strategic and military genius that he became.

            2. Not making a straight line back to Spain to retake Cartagena the moment he heard it was caught by Scipio in one of the most brilliant assaults in history. Cartegana was the heart of the entire Punic operation. It was the primary staging ground, treasury, political center, industrial base of Spain and where all the diplomatic hostages were. Losing Cartegena didn’t necessarily mean losing the war. But it was a knife right into the heart of the Carthagians. Hannibal should have realized this and dropped everything and I mean EVERYTHING to take it back.

          Russian KIA is potentially around 50,000 according to Mediazona and Meduza. Bad, but far from bolshevik levels of horror. As Ukraine runs out of steam, I expect Russian KIA to logically level off. Say around 70-80,000 not exceeding 100,000.

          Say 10 Ukrainians die for every Russian, an extreme assumption, still looking at under a million deaths for this conflict. Stalin alone killed 20 million. High estimates for the entire Soviet system put the death toll around 100 million.

          A large amount of the Ukrainian population fled. Around 10 million have left the country. Expect that number to go much higher if they are drafting women in mass. They won’t be able to. There simply won’t be enough Ukrainians left in Ukraine for the Russians to kill for it to even approach bolshevik levels of disaster.

          More Russians and Slavs died from Covid and the vaccine.

            > Say 10 Ukrainians die for every Russian, an extreme assumption

            Not extreme at all currently, when they are on the offensive, an offensive whose primary tactic is to march cannon fodder over minefields under artillery fire. But for the war as a whole, certainly an extreme assumption.

  30. TheDividualist says:

    Conscripting more camp followers is not in itself a big deal IMHO. What IS a big deal is that Ukraine is now demanding the forcible return of all military age male refugees from Europe. And they have interesting definitions of “military age”.

    This is big, because the mainstream European narrative on taking in Muslims was mostly about human rights and UN rules about refugees / asylum seekers. Forcibly[1] sending refugees back to a war zone where they can get killed goes 100% against this kind of narrative. Whoever in Washington told Zelensky to demand this probably knows what deep damage it could cause to the narrative. I mean, one could probably even point out some kind of a UN resolution against this. Imagine Assad demanding this. And yes, that smells of utter desperation.

    [1] I guess anyone who wanted to return on his own will already did, asylum is not a prison.

I would like to play devil’s advocate: I think it argument can be made that we are no longer in a situation where the Narrative is safe from the ingress of Dissident/Contrary/Alternative ideas. I am guilty of reckless, maybe even unwarranted optimism. When I see Macgregor relate Jim-Lite talking points *and* launch an organization on those points *and* it gets overwhelmed by volunteers and supporters, I start to think that there really are more options than American Stalin or Seven Kill Stele. I’m not suggesting that ideas leaking into and through Twitter will force the Cathedral to suddenly become a rational actor. But I do honestly think that we could see the hypocrisy of Syrian Refugees v. Ukrainian Refugees enter into the Discourse.

        I assume you’ve heard the chatter about Musk “averting WWII” with Starlink coverage or lack thereof. As well, he’s been posting more about the Farm Murders in South Africa. And he’s made noises about the ADL. Refugee Return seems like something he’d speak out about. Of course that doesn’t mean much, but do you think it could alter the trajectory?

          It’s never nothing; and signal jamming is always valuable, for both energizing friends, and demoralizing enemies; and that which goes without saying, goes without thinking, so it must be said anyways.

          That aside, the way it is worded is like getting the ordinals of operations out of order, so to speak. You’re not going to see personages with little to no inferential horizon ‘waking up’ any time soon this life (or any other); but you can see a nominally incumbent apparat lose faith, you can see them lose their ability to crush those they find displeasing, so you start seeing more people feel their oats about crossing them, which leads to more people following the example.

          Standards and rules are for us, not them. Everything they do proves their superior holiness, and any harm that ensues proves that those doing harm are immensely holier than those they harm.

          • Kunning Druegger says:

            Things we were saying and discussing during the Trump Regime, things that it was stated were categorically unmentionable, heinous thoughtcrimes, are being mentioned by voices on the pathway to the curated echo chamber of The Discourse. This doesn’t mean “We are about to win!” but it does mean something, possibly multiple things:

            -there is a memetic path from Jim to John Q Public
            -there are gatekeepers that are sympathetic
            -there are gatekeepers that realize you/we are right
            -there are elements of Memetic Containment that are failing
            -there is in fact an appetite for some kind of reversal, some soft restoration at least
            -there is a chance that the spiral can be destabilized, meaning it could also be halted, meaning it might be reversible
            -there is a growing desire for Alternatives

            One, some, or all of these things could be true. They could all also be false, but I don’t think so, and I would be interested in seeing someone refute them *without* shilling, blackpilling, or lying. The normie is forever and always following, even when, especially when, he is out in front “leading.” But this means “normie” is a state of mind more so than a physical position or status level; there are normies in the Alt Right/DR, there are normies in the ranks of the political machines, there are normies in positions of great power/influence. As well, there are the Agents of Order and the Agents of Chaos scattered up and down and all around.

            I think it would be more correct to say it thus: Hypocrisy never enters the discourse *as hypocrisy*. Remember when people were getting cancelled for asserting that the glorious messianic vaccine might not be so glorious? That is now not only commonly stated, it is a common opinion held by many different people. Ditto for trannies being the thralls of demons, ditto for interpretive daemonology, ditto for a number of other hard & jagged redpills. I know it’s still a cloistered subset of dialogue, but I am always kind of amazed to see Coverture, often referred to in a more disassembled or occluded way, being advocated for and receiving positive reinforcement.

            I don’t think the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t a train, but I do think it isn’t a speeding train, not like it was in 2015. I don’t think we are a few years away from a Restoration and Reconquista, but I do think it is reasonable to keep working like they are possible. I don’t think the intellectual dissident elite is about to seize power, but I do think they could become much more likely to seize power.

            Here’s a thought that’s been percolating for a bit: imagine what would have happened if some rural sheriff in New Mexico had taken the Governor prisoner in that window of time where the public opposition to her Gun Grab was exploding, but no Official Messaging from any of the artificial/arbitrary sides had coalesced. He takes as many goons as he can muster, and headcounts the guards into peaceful submission and arrests her. He livestreams the whole thing, then keeps her detained in a publicly known place with an explicit call for Someone Official to come get this Violator of Our Sacred and Unquestionable Constitution and bring her to Justice. What would the response have been? Maybe an army of GirlBoss FBI Special Agents in a big caravan of hybrid SUVs races across the desert towards Las Cruces to save their trapped sister. maybe a bunch of SOF operators load up in their personal blackhawks and fly in to collect the Sheriff’s head for their liege lord Biden, whom they love and respect and are willing to die for. Maybe a mob of blue state yuppies storm the location on foot to protect gay rights and abortion on demand and no-fault divorce…or maybe every single elite with actual power, influence, and competency takes a nice long moment to reflect while maintaining a poker face to not unsettle their retainers.

            This is farfetched fantasy, not as bad as that little piece about Ron secretly supporting Don, but still, it is unbelievable, right? I keep coming back to the whole chain of events (this is speculative, I’ve done no research, just going off my gut and what little I understand of how American political activity occurs): at some point before the fateful announcement/press conference, some sharply dressed lawyers/lobbyists with big verbal IQs and high powered friends convince the Lady Governor that not only can she do this, not only should she do this, it is in her best interest to do it. They give her a script with talking points and pre-written policy statements. She goes out and does it after convincing her coterie of supporters to stand behind her. She announces her edict and gives the orders, or notice of orders to soon be given. The Sherriff who will be giving the actual order says No. The mayor says No. The DA says No. And it is over, it is not going to happen. The story is going to go on, it is ongoing as I type this, but it is now the story of an abortive attempt at an attempt, as opposed to an attempt.

            Was there a window of time in there were someone outside the status quo structure could have mad a Napoleon play and grabbed a massive chunk of influence, power, and loyalty? I think so, but it’s just a feeling I can’t substantiate. I am willing to accept this is insanity on my part, that this was just business as usual. But I am utterly convinced that the Cathedral is like a St. Rupert’s Drop right now; it can be hammered continuously from most angles and not crack whatsoever, but appropriate force applied at a very specific place/space/time will turn the whole structure into dust. If the outsider elites situated to think outside the box can envision and understand and employ IEW, the empire is there for the taking. As well, balkanization is a distinct possibility if Governors wake up to the fact that they need the loyalty of the sheriffs, mayors, and DAs more than the approval of pants suit demon worshippers ensconced inside the beltway.

              Yes, we have penetration.

              The Cominator was asking who is the central conspiracy. That is not how it works. You have a multitude of conspiracies, and holiest always wins.

              “All men are created equal”, being flagrantly contrary to reality, necessitated a host of unprincipled exceptions. For example if all men are equal, then obviously you cannot arrest black men for setting fire to white property and murdering white people unless you arrest a proportionate number of white people for burning black property and murdering black men. And this unprincipled exception is now going away.

              What happens is that there is some tiny faction in Harvard that calls out an unprincipled exception. And just about everyone in Harvard thinks them crazy. But, no friends to the right, no enemies to the left, pretty soon they wind up in power in of Harvard. But everyone else in America still thinks the idea is crazy. And then after a while in power in the presidency and the judiciary, even thought the public are electing legislators and presidents who still think the idea is utterly crazy and beyond the pale. The presidency and the judiciary enforces the idea through backdoor means, that never come up for vote in legislature and were never knowingly authorized by the president. They got him to sign an executive order, and then interpreted the order their way. And it gradually becomes the law of the land, though never voted through in any legislature.

              And pretty soon it is yesterday’s leftism, because a new unprincipled exception is under fire, and the conservatives are courageously conserving it.

              Of course, over time, the holiest have become conspicuously and obviously demon worshippers. The only way you can reverse this is from the root. That the initial ideas were obviously crazy, the holy are possessed by demons and motivate by hatred, malice, and lust for power. You cannot go back to 2008 leftism, or 1933 leftism, it always was a slippery slope, and the further you slide down, the steeper and slipperier it gets.

      This is a clear violation of UN rules on this sort of thing. The fact that Europe is now expected to violate those (something they have held as sacrosanct and have spent a LOT of diplomatic energy flogging with countries less apt to enforce those things in fact) is a major departure and a very obvious and very hypocritical crack in the façade of the “rules based international order.” It is another straw on the European camel’s back. At some point enough of Europeans are going to begin rethinking their vassalage to the GAE that their leadership class will be unable to keep all of them on the reservation and an intra-elite conflict in Europe is likely to occur in earnest.

        There is no hypocrisy, only hierarchy. They are the rulers and we are the ruled. They’ve never followed their own rules and aren’t about to start now. If leftism has any fundamental principle, it’s that melanin = holiness, so Ukrainian lives don’t matter.

    Once the Russians shifted their strategy to war of attrition it was a question of whether the Ukrainians could move quickly and forcefully enough to be able to breakthrough before the lines of defense could be completed. They failed in that.

    Everything since has been a question of numbers and time.
    The Ukrainian tactic has switched from trying to maneuver to running face first into the belt sander repeatedly. At this point they’ve ablated so much of their army in this manner that they are now down to their current recruitment efforts.

    If were advising the Russians at this point, it would be wise, if the Russians are able, to avoid grinding these female recruits into meat since that will be bad for Russian morale and a coup for GAE media to use. Obviously, there are risks associated with trying to avoid that, but capturing them, and holding them away from the front would enable them to get men back for these women in any eventual exchange. GAE would lie about the conditions but they do that about everything else.

    Or the Russians could just work on turning some of them into supporters of the Russian offensive instead with good conditions and the right kind of psychological pressure. Stockholm syndrome is a heckuva thing, after all.

    Filming some of these women casually hanging out with and cheerfully fraternizing with handsome Russian soldiers would harm morale in Ukraine considerably I would think.

      Considering normal female instincts, unlikely to require much persuasion to get the girl “soldiers” to surrender and begin fraternizing with the Russians.

    • Kunning Drueger says:

      Calvin is correct in my estimation. Women don’t fight wars. They can cause them and profit from them and suffer because of them, but they don’t fight them. This situation, mobilizing females, could be a Pandora’s Box for the GAE. If you put fat ugly lesbians in a uniform and make them drive a truck or do some other rear echelon task, when you stealthily supply whores for the men, when you use Pick Me’s as window dressing for your diversity in uniform campaign, You aren’t really risking that much so long as the incentives are aligned properly. But when you actually have to fight, the whole charade could very well collapse disastrously.

        In the old days, say the 1700s, a lot of men brought their wives with them to war, to pitch their tents, wash their uniforms, cook their food, and warm their beds. Your average military camp had a lot of little kids running around. It sounds pretty cozy, but it relied on formalized rules of war that considered camp followers as invalid and immoral targets to assault. In a modern total war, the rear line troops are going to be targets, so if you have camp followers in uniform, a lot of them are going to get blown up, and nobody is going to be very happy about it

    • Aidan says:

      They are recruiting all female doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, which implies a huge pile of wounded behind the lines. There is a big difference between the field medic who is up there with the infantry applying tourniquets to severed limbs after a guy steps on a mine or eats a shell, and the medic who is caring for wounded men in a big tent hospital 10 miles behind the front line. I suspect their number of big tent hospitals has gone up significantly in recent days, and they need to be staffed. I doubt a single one of those female recruits is going to come within war bride distance of a Russian soldier.

      The US might want brave female infantrymen, but not that long ago it was well understood that images of girlboss soldiers turned into ground pork by fire would be ruinous to morale, and the ukranians at least probably still understand that

      • Kunning Druegger says:

        Well stated, both this comment and your other above.

        The longer one has to answer to girlboss soldiers, the less ruinous to morale when they eat shit and die. In fact, it might even be a morale boost. Helps that they are mostly mystery meat “Americans.”

        • Kunning Druegger says:

          True, but you also have to factor in that normie pinkpill memeplex that goes something like:

          No matter how pretty she is or how perfect she seems, someone somewhere is sick of her shit.

          This is undoubtedly true, but it is also perennially relevant because, no matter how many men discover this truth, many more are ignorant of it, and this will always be the case.

          So you may smile to yourself when *your* 2nd Lieutenant Pantsuit gets turned into pork barbecue, but you will recoil in hate and anger when you see some other female turned into ground beef by the godless scoundrel enemy.
