CS Lewis on why “dumb blue collar people” usually do not fall for the same terrible ideas that the “educated elite class” so often does:
“Why, you fool, it’s the educated readers who can be gulled. All our difficulty comes with the others. When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they’re all propaganda and skips the leading articles. He buys his paper for the football results and the little paragraphs about girls falling out of windows and corpses found in Mayfair flats. He is our problem: we have to recondition him. But the educated public, the people who read the highbrow weeklies, don’t need reconditioning. They’re all right already. They’ll believe anything.”
– CS Lewis, That Hideous Strength
… Or Romans 1: “Claiming to be wise, they became fools.”
Since Flock loves to track our locations, it only seems fair that we know theirs.
Flock Safety's new GA plant is located at 1885 Mitchell Rd, Smyrna, GA 30082
Flock went to great lengths to keep that address hidden.
That probably means it should be public info.
The Big Beautiful Bill contains a provision banning state & local governments from regulating AI.
It’s worse than you think.
It would make it easier for corporations to get zoning variances, so massive AI data centers could be built in close proximity to residential areas.
The claim is this was built in Seattle and then torn down. It was built in less than a year and operational for less than 6 months, it was for profit, then they destroyed the buildings and now can’t build them.
They were made with horses and wagons and dirt roads.
Nonsense.
There was a civilization before ours that has been covered up.
With advances in media they could no longer count on the world’s fair narrative so they switched to war. The most beautiful architecture ever constructed was deliberately and pointlessly destroyed in wars.
Truth is coming to the surface very fast now. The world is not getting uglier you can just see it now. I’ve had a 9 year head start on this process.
Build. Be inspired by our ancestors. Tell their story by doing what they did.
God is Forgiving and merciful. So why did these things happen? My theory is that people started accepting flattery in the work of their ancestors. They stopped living it and just claimed all of the fruit without appreciating, honoring or doing.
God is the father that teaches lessons to his children who live in the unrelenting savagery of nature.
If a child stops putting away their toys, nature takes them back. Lessons will be taught.
The prison of nostalgia is locked from the inside. You are not owed the glory of your ancestors by birth. You must BE it.
We have been given a great opportunity. Apocalypse means “revealing” it does not mean the end. Every apocalypse, people can grovel in victim consciousness at the feet of liars, or they can rise and honor everyone who came before and who will come after.
I named beartaria because I saw how bummed tartaria was making everyone. There was a past glory that could never be achieved. Beartaria may cabins out of cordwood and cutting paths with shovels but it’s ours and it’s now. That shift has made a massive difference in my heart and those around me.
Name your land. Name your tribe. And build with rocks and mud and everything around you. The meek shall inherit the earth.
Stay at home moms don’t have to sacrifice their career. They get to do all the careers. For the people they love.
Women being “absent from history” is a good thing. Men fight the battles, give the speeches, and he the resources so the woman can focus on what matters. Making good people.
Men and women should never be in competition in any way. That’s a depopulation spell and very evil.
The Jews told people that the male g spot was in the ass to normalize homosexuality, when in reality the real male g spot is in the foreskin — which they took from you
Unbelievable
"tell oog about childhood."
nana dust look at oog like oog ask about color of wind.
"what about it."
"do you miss it."
nana dust pick at fire with stick. long time. oog think maybe she not going to answer.
then:
"nana dust don't miss childhood. nana dust miss the weight of it."
"...the weight?"
"when nana dust was small... a butterfly was IMPORTANT. rain was EVENT. first snow? might as well be world ending and beginning at same time. everything heavy with meaning. a good day was the BEST day. a bad day was WORST day. everything was everything."
she look at oog.
"then you grow. and butterfly is just butterfly. rain is just rain. you learn the word 'just.' that the word that kill childhood. 'just.' nothing is everything anymore. everything is 'just' something."
oog sit with this. heavy.
"so how you get it back."
nana dust smile. the tooth-gap smile.
"you don't. but if you lucky... you make something small enough to give it to."
she nod toward cave. where koom sleeping.
"watch koom see first snow this winter. WATCH his face. and you will feel it again. not yours. his. borrowed. but real enough to crack your chest open."
oog think about last snow. how koom stood outside. mouth open. catching flake on tongue. eye so wide they holding the whole sky.
and how oog watched and felt something unlock. old door. rusty. but it opened. just for a second. and everything was everything again.
nana dust right. you can't go back to your own childhood. but you can stand close enough to someone else's that the warmth reach you.
and if you built right. if your heart still got the old door on the hinge...
it open. it still open.
love, oog
An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.
Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.
I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.
“El feminismo hizo que las mujeres vieran a los niños como una carga, la maternidad como un castigo, los hombres como un rival, el asesinato de bebés como un derecho y el libertinaje como un logro”.
There is a species of ant that approaches the edge of another colony, kills a single worker, and then takes on the dead ant’s scent.
For ants, scent is everything. Wearing that scent, the intruder walks in with no resistance. The workers pass by without concern.
The intruder moves inward, toward the queen, then It sprays the queen with a different scent that makes the workers turn on her. Then they surround her and kill her.
The intruder does not need to fight anyone. The colony does the work itself.
Once the queen is gone, the intruder reproduces. The true invader is no longer an intruder. It is the future.
This is how ideological takeover works.
A destructive foreign ideology takes the scent of familiar ideas and walks in as if it belongs.
It speaks the native vocabulary, justice, equality, compassion, rights, progress. It uses these words and quietly changes what they point to.
Then it moves inward.
It alters how foundations are perceived. Responsibility is made to smell like cruelty, law like oppression, borders like hatred, tradition like danger, history like guilt.
At that point, the civilization turns on itself.
Its courts, universities, churches, media, and bureaucracies begin treating their own foundations as threats. They believe they are defending the system.
They are enforcing what now smells legitimate. They do not see the intruder because it sounds exactly like them.
And when the founding principles are finally removed, discredited, dismantled, erased, the foreign ideology does not need to conquer anything. It inherits what is left.
The queen is gone. The colony is no longer itself.
The most effective conquest is the one that convinces a society that its own foundations are the enemy, and that killing them is an act of virtue.
@JasozzGames Hopefully it has a functional brightness slider. I tried the demo of the 1st out and everything was ridiculously bright, it killed the mood and game for me.

Gee, it makes you wonder what’s so different about Poland compared to the other three countries, where the numbers have skyrocketed. What changed?
Why I’m pumped about trump. It’s a bit odd but hear me out.
The economy is based on perception. All of it.
This is gonna sound black Pilly but it’s not it’s just reality and there’s always opportunities in everything.
I’ve always been very against crypto culture because I believe it’s one of the most nakedly destructive aspects of modern society and one of the reasons I live on a farm. Not the crypto itself, it’s the culture.
One of the worst red flags signifying a massive collapse is people publicly bragging about getting rich doing nothing. Massive “influence” type people for years now openly say that got extremely rich from just buying bitcoin in dollars and selling it for exponential wealth. This is terminal cancer for a society.
The idea that wealth comes from service and production is the ground rock of a functioning society. Having people aspire to do nothing and get rich ripples out to fundamentally collapse everything. All risk is spread out and diluted with insurance premiums. All poverty and hardship is spread out with taxation and strength of the dollar. The bitcoin rich guy public brag is a horrible sign that the toxicity of dilution has reached collapse. It’s why I’ve had so much conflict with these bitcoin bros. They have no idea how destructive their culture is.
I’m sure people will attempt to give some argument about how it’s the figure and it’s saving purchasing power etc. no. It’s the idea of doing nothing for wealth. It’s cancer. “Theres never been an easier time to get rich from home doing nothing” tweets mike cernovich. You can’t get rich doing nothing. That’s the sucking sound of a motor that’s about to die.
The dollar is an illusion tethered to belief and trust. That’s been nose diving for a while but once america just stole Russia’s reserves the world noticed. We have to constantly sell bonds to foreigners to prop up the illusion of the dollar at higher and higher interest rates. 2/3rds of dollars are now foreign. In the past the collapse happens and the grabblers head on down the road like they did w the Soviet Union. 115 shell companies in the Caribbean revived their money, bank closed, no more USSR. Assets sold for pennys on the dollar to foreigners while the architects started google and came to America.
Now there’s nowhere to go. We can no longer just kill the country we owe money to it’s all of the countries.
This is why perception is the economy now. Influencers. Because the end of a con the entire game is just people not realizing it. It’s why these garbage entertainers and webcam idiots are paid infinite money. Just to keep eye balls and perception as the game runs out.
It’s why I push what I do. Service. Production. Family and community safety nets, optimism, humor, local etc will be fine. That’s peoples only real shot. The con doesn’t change reality it’s just perception. And it’s absolutely coming to an end.
Trump gives people the feeling of confidence. That feeling will boost the economy for a bit longer. People believe Elon musk is a smart businessman and a genius from mars who wants to go home. This idol worshiping psychosis has a function. I’m not being sarcastic either. That enthusiasm can keep this thing going. Is it a lie? Yes absolutely. But as it’s going reconnect to the fundamentals of wealth. Trust. Service. Production. Honor. Health. Family. Humor. Music. Good local food. Cuz when this pops which it will, soon I think, you want some fundamentals. And trump and Elon will buy you a little more time.
Protectionism is already kicking in which is great but foreign goods will wind down. Cheap labor will go away. But culturally people are still looking for influence or crypto wealth from thin air. That has to change.
Please stop bragging about how rich you are from coins. It’s unimaginably destructive to the youth. It will create an environment where there will be nothing for you to buy with that “wealth” because everyone else has become awful too. Hope that helps.
