The American WASP aristocracy seemed to surrender power in the 20th century to the various Ellis Island factions (particularly Irish and Jews) without much of a fight
And the only one I can think of today who is nationalist in any significant way is Timothy Mellon
Interesting
@curtis_yarvin The happy clappy Christian conservatives of SA played a large role in that country turning out the way it has today
Not markedly different from how it was in this country up until the post-Boomer era (as Christianity here seems to be decisively turning a corner)
How far I have fallen. I'm doing all the things I once imagined myself incapable of: living in a cheap hotel overrun with vermin; keeping company with murderers, burglers, contract killers, crimelords. Not from inclination, mind you, but only as a means of protection from mutual enemies. And that, naturally, is only what I may speak of openly. I'd always imagined myself destined to remain above such circumstances.
Arguably friendship forms more lastingly under adverse conditions than otherwise
This is why online "frens" from underground info wars of the past decade seem more real than many in your irl social circles
Don't let anyone psyop you into thinking it's abnormal - it's not !
This World Cup has a strongly Medieval feel with the theme of Crusader, Viking and Saracen hosts reaching the QF
France, England, Norway and Barbary already in
With the potential of Iberians, Swiss, Egyptians, Flemings and the Neo-Byzantine USA also joining the revelries
@Father_McCarthy@bronzeagemantis At least in my area, there ARE large numbers of ex-Soviets / Warsaw Pact although I've no idea of the absolute numbers
I don't disagree that the oligarchs are motivated by ethnic hatreds against Legacy America, but I've already said that about a million times at this point
It's interesting how the world adapted to the Iran situation, it's still basically a hostage situation now, but the predicted larger catastrophes didn't materialize - albeit lots of small troubles
It just added another layer of dread to the backdrop of inexorable Western decline
@LokiJulianus There are plenty of straight white leftists of course, but the disorder is PTSD from nihilistic liberalism
This cohort is just incurably bent - look at the evolution of TDS over a decade, it just got worse, there is no saving these people
@LokiJulianus As regards we, the smallfolk, the main concern right now is that the models will get to the point that the government removes folk access to them
And we are left with the "pretty good" models of now, or up until that happens
This has already been discussed widely in AI circles
@curtis_yarvin Everyone forgets that Republicans were the party of Lincoln and abolitionism
Look Trump has done all he could with this party, but he's a geriatric boomer and even with herculean efforts past 10 years sadly it retains at its core a lot of the pathologies of its founding
@skibidiblazor Without "paganism" - the Hellenic tradition that it stole without proper attribution - what would it have been?
Semitic superstitions of goatherders...
@Stephen19718352 This is actually true
There was a guy who owned a huge villa down by the river, amazing piece of property in an area where even small lots would not be cheap today
I looked him up after finding out his identity via the plat map
He owned a business like you have described
@SonOfAnchis3s There were plenty of petty feuds and a lot of street crime in Europe during the heyday of its high culture
That made its way over here to the plantations in enclaves
James Lafond always said that the negras just learned from the conduct of their masters in Tidewater
@Anarseldain There's a bizarre idea that once you reach 40 you ought to wither up and blow away
And far too many men seem willing to play along with this
@DrInsensitive He seems unaware or unwilling to countenance the fact that the eugenicists and racialists were right or, at very least, closer to the truth than he is
Oh well - you didn't lose anything
@novusolus Malevolent spirits are real
I don't recommend trying to contact them though
Humans have already brought themselves much grief through such folly over the ages
