every socialist revolution was led by people who never worked a factory floor
marx lived off engels' factory profits. lenin was a lawyer. castro was a lawyer. mao was a librarian. chávez was a military officer
the workers never actually lead the revolution. intellectuals do, using the workers as justification. and once power is seized, the intellectuals don't give it back to the workers. they give it to themselves
the vanguard isn't the workers. it's the managers. and managers don't abolish class.
they just become the new one
Despite knowing he was a terrorist, German authorities dealt with Abdul Ballout, the Berlin Pride killer, by sending him on a three-day (spread over six weeks from mid June) 'violence prevention' course.
Here's some of the people who run that course.
Suspect in the Berlin Pride attack shot dead by police in a Berlin suburb.A just outcome.
Police did the right thing. The alternative would have been for him to be arrested and then released because of something as ridiculous as "human rights", or for charging him to be deemed "offensive" to the Muslim community.
As ridiculous as that sounds, don't think for a second that it's impossible in countries like Germany, France, or the UK.
The Nuclear Family is a Technology of Western Civilization – So It Needs to Be Destroyed With All the Others.
The nuclear family is not a natural unit. It is a technology – the most successful child-rearing, wealth-transmitting, civilization-building technology ever developed. And like every other Western technology that works, it is currently being systematically dismantled.
1. Every society in history has organized reproduction and child-rearing somehow. The Eastern clan, the tribe, the loyalty network – these are the alternatives. They work, up to a point, for the societies that run on them. They produce strong internal solidarity and fierce external competition. They also produce nepotism over meritocracy, loyalty over competence, the network over the individual. Low-trust societies stay small and family-based – unable to build the large institutions, the corporations, the rule of law that require trust between strangers. The nuclear family is the Western solution: small enough to invest maximally in children, open enough to produce citizens who can cooperate beyond the clan.
2. It is a technology in the precise sense: a solution to a problem, developed through trial and error over millennia, encoding accumulated wisdom that is not immediately visible to those who inherit it. It aligned incentives with extraordinary precision – the man invested in children he was certain were his, the woman had a committed partner for the most vulnerable years, the children had two adults with maximum skin in the game. And crucially: it introduced a free market for mating rather than arranged marriage. Individuals chose their partners – which meant attraction, compatibility, and genuine commitment rather than clan negotiation. The most intimate human bond brought into the competitive, meritocratic framework that produces everything else the West does well.
3. The attack follows the standard pattern. Reframe the technology as oppression. Celebrate the alternatives as liberation. Restructure the incentives – welfare systems that replace the husband, legal systems that make marriage a liability for men, cultural systems that mock the committed father. Then watch the institution dissolve.
4. The data is not ambiguous. Children raised by married biological parents outperform children from every other arrangement on every measurable outcome. This is one of the largest and most replicated findings in social science. The nuclear family is not one lifestyle choice among many equivalent options. It is the arrangement that produces the best human beings at scale. Which is precisely why it had to go.
5. The deepest damage is not measurable. The nuclear family was the primary transmission mechanism of civilization – values, habits, language, culture, and identity passed from one generation to the next in the most intensive possible environment. Destroy this transmission mechanism and you don’t just produce worse outcomes for individuals. You break the chain. The torch cannot change hands if the hands are gone.
6. The replacement is the state. When the family dissolves, the state expands to fill the functions the family performed. This is not a coincidence. It is the design. Tocqueville described it: the soft despotism that replaces every horizontal bond with a vertical dependency on the government shepherd. The nuclear family was the primary horizontal bond. Its dissolution is the prerequisite for the complete vertical dependency the administrative state requires.
7. The nuclear family is not a conservative preference or a religious requirement. Defend it not because it is traditional. Defend it because it works – and because what is offered in its place doesn’t. The clan and the tribe produce loyalty. The administrative state produces dependency. The nuclear family, with its free market for mating and its maximum investment in the next generation, produces citizens. That is the one thing the system replacing it cannot afford to produce.
Civilized people hate voice notes because they’re inherently rude. A voice note is easy to send but hard to receive, since one must interrupt oneself and listen. To send someone a voice note is to say "My time is more valuable than yours." It’s insulting.
Тогда к шведам есть резонный попрос: а является ли теперь доносительством заложить нелегального иммигранта, который нарушил правила сортировки отходов или жестоко обращается с животными?
Интересная у шведов 🇸🇪 логика.
Для них совершенно нормально заложить соседа, который нарушил правила сортировки отходов или жестоко обращается с животными. Это не считается доносительством.
Но когда вступил в силу закон, который обязывает некоторые социальные службы сообщать о нелегальных мигрантах, то это сразу стало неприемлемым доносительством.
Речь про нелегальных мигрантов, то есть про тех, кто нарушает закон. Но здесь почему то логика с нарушением правил уже не работает 🤦♂️
Je ne suis pas pour cette loi non plus. Je suis aussi pour qu'ils arrêtent de bruler nos impôts.
Mais soyons lucides sur son objectif réel: ils votent cette loi pour qu'ils puissent CONTINUER à bruler nos impôts...
On me signale en commentaire que j'ai été trop gentil.
Ce n'est pas la deuxième fois qu'ils votent cette loi. C'est la TROISIÈME !
2018 : consentement numérique fixé à 15 ans (RGPD version française)
2023 : majorité numérique à 15 ans... jamais appliquée
2026 : interdiction à 15 ans... vide
Trois lois sur le même âge en 8 ans.
Application : toujours zéro. Le théâtre continue.
Et c'est toujours Nico qui paie.
PS : je ne suis pas POUR cette loi. Je suis POUR qu'ils arrêtent de BRULER nos impôts.
A leftist posted this on my S-bstack feed today to argue that Europeans are peculiarly violent…I pointed out that it is rather that Europeans figured out written language, and so can honor their ancestors and remember their battles, and he got very mad
Apparently Africans were uniquely peaceful until they made it into American cities
The cause might be:
-reduced social awareness;
-poor self-monitoring;
-low conscientiousness;
-weak theory of mind (difficulty estimating another person's perspective)
..but definetely not "low IQ"
Low IQ “people” don’t notice when their dogs are barking, they don’t hear their babies screaming, they don’t realize how loud their speaker phone conversation sounds to everyone around them, they don’t hear the smoke alarm, or understand how loud their music is.
Conversely, the higher IQ individuals notice all of that, are slowly driven insane, and often wonder “why do we have to tolerate this?”
La vraie raison de la limitation des naissances dans les groupes nomades a toujours été, et reste encore aujourd’hui, la difficulté de se déplacer avec des nourrissons. Ce n’est qu’à partir de l’âge de 4 ans environ que les déplacements deviennent beaucoup plus faciles
Post totalement faux.
Ce ne sont pas les hommes qui "maîtrisent" la natalité. Ce sont les femmes. Et ce depuis l’aube de l’espèce humaine.
Plusieurs études scientifiques existent sur le sujet.
La première, c’est une étude très connue en préhistoire, celle de Konner et Worthman, publiée dans Science (volume 207, p. 788-791, 1980).
Sur le temps long nous étions nomades, et chez les nomades c’est la femme qui donne le rythme des naissances dans le groupe, pas les hommes.
Dans cette étude, les chercheurs ont constaté que les femmes espacent leurs naissances de près de quatre ans sans contraception.
Comment ?
Les mères nourrissent sans arrêt, toutes les 13,19 minutes en moyenne, et cette cadence maintient une prolactine qui écrase l’œstradiol et la progestérone.
Le corps reste infertile tant que le rythme tient.
La natalité d’une population paléolithique était donc "fixée" par les femmes.
C’est comme ça que les naissances étaient maîtrisées dans les groupes qui ne pouvaient pas se permettre de croître démographiquement au-delà de ce que la chasse et la cueillette peuvent fournir en ressources au groupe.
Et ce mode de vie, c’est 285 000 ans sur les 300 000 ans d’existence de l’espèce humaine.
Voilà.
Plus récemment, un autre exemple pour rigoler un bon coup :
Un vrai exemple dans lequel les hommes ont bel et bien décidé de prendre le contrôle de la natalité.
Vous allez voir, c’est drôle.
Nous sommes en Roumanie, en 1966, avec le décret 770.
Ceaușescu interdit l’avortement, retire les contraceptifs de la vente et impose à toutes les femmes un contrôle gynécologique mensuel pour augmenter leur chance d’enfanter.
Les premiers mois, ça marche : la fécondité bondit de 1,9 enfant par femme en 1966 à 3,7 en 1967, puis 3,6 en 1968.
Ensuite elle redescend pendant 20 ans, jusqu’à la fin du régime communiste roumain en 1989 où l’on atteint 2,2 par femme, puis 1,83 en 1990.
23 ans de coercition communiste totale pour booster la natalité et prendre le contrôle du corps des femmes pour que finalement…
... les femmes continuent toujours de décider du rythme des naissances.
Donc même quand les hommes décident de politiques natalistes, grâce à la puissance de l’État, cela ne marche pas.
La complémentarité, c’est la norme, le viol et l’emprise constante et unilatérale de l’homme sur la femme ne l’est pas.
En faire le moteur millénaire de la démographie humaine est donc… débile.
Finalement, dire que les femmes sont "la variable d’ajustement d’une politique de natalité faite par les hommes" relève donc en grande partie d’une vision biaisée et incomplète de l’histoire, de la réalité de la nature humaine et des rapports homme/femme.
Les femmes ont toujours déterminé la démographie de l’espèce humaine, depuis son origine.
Псковский губернатор Ведерников сообщил о рейдах, в ходе которых были составлены протоколы на жителей региона, хранящих у себя "большие запасы бензина".
А когда ждать рейды для выявления лиц, хранящих большие запасы хлеба?
The Western mind, after centuries of moving away from barbarity and cruelty, can no longer comprehend evil without attaching a tangible cause to it.
When a mass shooter opens fire, the default assumption is that he must be mentally ill. When rebels take up arms, the explanation is that they must be oppressed.
Violence is never seen as an end in itself, it is always framed as a reaction to something external, something rational, something the West can diagnose and fix.
That is why Hamas and other terrorist organizations are so disorienting to the Western imagination.
Their actions are too grotesque, too irrational, to fit neatly into Western categories of cause and effect.
So Westerners scramble for explanations they can live with: “occupation,” “colonization,” “oppression.”
They manufacture a tangible reason that makes sense to them, even if it has little to do with the truth.
But if we look at history, cruelty has never required a tangible reason. Entire empires conquered, enslaved, and slaughtered not out of desperation or defense, but simply because they could.
Vikings did not need oppression to justify raiding monasteries and enslaving villagers.
Mongols did not need colonization to rationalize leveling entire cities and piling up skulls.
The Aztecs did not need occupation to demand thousands of human sacrifices every year.
The idea that cruelty must always have a logical, material cause is a uniquely modern, uniquely Western invention.
Islamic terrorism does not operate by those rules.
The engine behind jihad is not material grievance, it is spiritual ambition.
The reason is not socioeconomic oppression, it is theological conviction.
The suicide bomber is not trying to relieve poverty; he is trying to buy salvation.
The jihadist who slits throats on video is not traumatized; he is reenacting Muhammad’s example, convinced that every drop of blood shed brings him closer to paradise.
Jihad is not a cry for help. It is not the desperate rebellion of the oppressed. It is a religious performance, a soteriological act, a path to redemption.
Интересный социальный эксперимент проводится в подмосковной Балашихе. Там талоны на автозаправку распределяют таким образом, чтобы разведённые и неженатые граждане оказывались в очереди по соседству. Это позволит одиноким людям познакомиться, приятно провести время и даже завести ребёнка - ничто не сближает людей как очередь за бензином!
@senko Партнер-европеец дает более высокий социальный статус, а это является определяющим фактором выбора для большинства российских женщин, которые видят смысл своей жизни в возвышении над другими женщинами.
Когда смотрю как аятоллафилы вытаскивают его труп из холодильника, что-то с ним делают, а потом запихивают его туда обратно, сразу вспоминаю "закопали стюардессу... откопали стюардессу..."
