Which way, Western man?

[Luis Cuende @luisc]

@TylerDurden @CitizenX Have you been to the EU or the US lately? El Salvador is now safer than both.

Is SF or LA more "first world"? I'd argue against it.

Remember when you needed a vaccine passport to enter a coffee shop while millions of unvaccinated came into the county and went on welfare?

Women’s rights today exist almost exclusively thanks to Christianity.

Most of the “liberated young women” in the West vote for policies that will eventually put either Muslim or communist overlords in control.

What is the economic impact of immigrants in Europe?
Do they pay more taxes or receive more welfare?
There's very little data, but this is ALL I could find across the EU:

1. NETHERLANDS
It has the best data
While a Nordic immigrant contributes >€200k, a Somalian costs >€600k

A young man entering into adulthood doesn't see himself entering into a world of competence to which he might hope to contribute. He sees a world of frauds and rent seekers, and he sees that any work he does first goes to enriching them, then goes to enriching the wretched.

One of the most clearly obvious truthnukes that normies are completely oblivious to.

Bio-weapons are the highest % existential risk to humanity and it's not even close. The lack of a reckoning post-Covid lab-leak is far worse than any "AI swarm".

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

This is civilizational suicide. The entire system as it exists is totally unsustainable, bankrupting our country, fueling inflation, and radicalizing millions of Americans into becoming Communists because they don’t understand why they’re falling further and further behind in the K shaped economy we find ourselves in.

We are punishing and radicalizing poor young Americans in order to continue to subsidize the lifestyle of rich old ones. But rather than do the reasonable thing and cut something that’s mathematically spiraling out of control, Congress wants to further punish young Americans in order to maintain Total Luxury Boomer Communism just a little bit longer.

[Samo Burja @SamoBurja]

It's crazy but we are as a society genuinely losing our ability to imprison violent crazy criminals and feel good doing so because we are protecting the innocent.

[Samo Burja @SamoBurja]

I think something we as a society currently seem incapable of doing is when a crazy person kills someone we no longer feel justified in punishing the criminal because they're crazy.

But consider that it is possible for a deep enough understanding of the brain or wide enough definition of mental health it turns out all criminals are crazy.

Yet, for society to function we have to find a way to feel morally confident in punishing the crazy if that is indeed the case.

Otherwise there would be no moral authority for the state to enforce laws and things would very quickly become very broken and dangerous as "moral people," started acting in ways that dismantle the newly illegitimate systems that are the only thing keeping life liveable.

I want you all to know something that actually haunts me; every day 11,200 boomers hit 65 and are eligible to collect social security. That means $18 million monthly for SS obligations ontop of every boomer already collecting.

WW3 will cost less than their Medicare alone.

The boomer doesn't hate socialism. He is benefitting from the most advanced vampiric welfare state in the history of mankind that makes Stalin and Lenin's visions of socialism look like if a cyborg Ayn Rand crowd-funded New Mogadishu off NFTs and Fartcoin in comparison

America's excessive spending on its senior citizens poses an existential threat to our national security.

The @WashingtonPost editorial is back at it today, warning that the US spends so much $$$ on senior citizens and "healthcare" that it cannot afford a real war.

Some highlights:
- "All purchases of guns up to 30mm caliber across all military branches in 2025 cost about $650 million, less than four hours of Social Security spending." !!!
- "The projected all-in cost of buying, operating, maintaining, upgrading and fueling the notoriously expensive F-35 program over its entire 94-year lifecycle is less than last year’s spending of $2.3 trillion on Medicaid and Social Security."
- "the $13 billion price tag on a Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier equals about three days of Social Security spending."
- Due to excessive spending on senior citizens, relative to more pressing needs, America's nuclear arsenal is outdated. For example, the B-52 bomber has been in operation for over 70 years and was. (Also its sole uranium processing facility is 80 years old and doesn't meet modern safety codes.)
- Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen warned in 2010 that “The most significant threat to our national security is our debt."
- Then the national debt was ~$13 Trillion. Today it is $40 Trillion.
- The military needs to adapt to drone warfare, as seen in Ukraine and Iran, but those demands come on top of, not instead of, conventional capabilities.
- If we leave it to the politicians and their friends at the AARP, it will only get worse: "Beginning in 2032, more than half of all federal spending will go toward just Social Security and major health care programs."

The Bottom Line: We must decide if we want to be a sovereign nation or a retirement home. The next decade is when we make that choice. And it comes down to our budget.

People say Camp of the Saints is the vision of the future that we are currently living in but that's not exactly the case

It's actually *hard* to trek across thousands of miles and even harder to trek across open ocean

Spontaneously moving yourself and tens of thousands of others, keeping everyone fed and watered on the journey - arranging for transport over bodies of water - this is the literal task of logistical support for an army and for most of human history this was the most complex undertaking man could accomplish

Men who could lead such undertakings were called "generals" and had support staffs who all had complex jobs

To think that some group could spontaneously organize like this is to not think too deeply about how it happens - every step of the way every "migrant caravan" is overseen and organized by a *massive* effort - it simply has to be - even if that effort his "hidden" by no one looking for it or reporting on it

The second you look at all, you uncover exactly that - a massive logistical effort to move people

Camp of the Saints *undersold* the problem - not only are the "migrants" supported by traitors once they arrive, they're supported the entire way

[Dylan O'Sullivan @DylanoA4]

René Girard, the quote of our times

[Fugitive Caesar @ThomBrady5]

NEETs are created by central bank monetary policy. In 2008, the subprime housing crisis wrecked the economy, and the American government intervened to pump up the banks and their bad assets. This prevented the boom-bust cycle from a natural market correction allowing bad assets to be restructured and marked-to-market, which would've washed the bad money out of the system.

What happened instead is that the American government intervened to save Boomers from taking a loss on their paper wealth. Instead of economic collapse, everything was frozen in place for stocks, houses, assets. Bad assets have remained frozen in place for 18 years. Zombie companies were able to benefit from ZIRP (Zero Interest Rate Policy) loans to borrow billions of dollars of liquidity in order to keep their position. Most of this Cantillon Effect central bank liquidity flowed into FIRE (finance, insurance, real estate) and Silicon Valley software tech companies.

The entire American economy since 2008 has been an illusion. A mirage. Everything is just the Federal Reserve money printer and the paper wealth of Boomer pensions; Boomer houses; Wall Street; Silicon Valley being propped up by inflation. Quantitative easing.

Zombie companies want to stay in business, to keep paying their executives. That's all they want to do.

Zombie companies do NOT want to manufacture anything, to be productive, or to hire young men.

Incumbents were rescued in 2008, at the price of preventing new entrants from ever entering the system.

The lack of a real, productive economy transformed America into a corporate political economy, with a limited number of stable careers, and a vicious game of musical chairs to determine who would be awarded nice lives, and who would be designated as economic losers. This zero-sum desperation partially explains the insanity of Wokeness as a political movement which came along later. Women engaged in mass hysteria social contagion, and were able to monopolize stable employment in the Fortune 500 sector of the economy by viciously purging young white men.

In 2008, the American government could've allowed the banks and housing market to suffer a massive crash and an economic depression. This would've been extremely painful, but that's because it's painful to confront reality after multiple decades of ignoring it.

If this happened, enraged voters would've voted against the political establishment. A lot of political elites would've suffered the end of their careers. After a few years of necessary pain, America would've moved on, rebuilding in the aftermath.

What happened instead is deeply perverse.

By intervening to protect the bad assets of Boomer pensions, Boomer housing, Wall Street, and Silicon Valley, the American government created a permanent political incumbency in favor of keeping everything broken, frozen in place, and economically stagnant in order to prevent their bad assets from ever being marked-to-market, from ever experiencing authentic price discovery.

Young men work for money.

Young men want to be paid enough to buy a home, get married, and afford 2-4 children, 2 cars, 1-2 dogs, and 2 vacations per year.

However, when the central bank intervenes to prop up bad assets, it prevents the boom-bust cycle which would normally wash bad money and malinvestment out of the system.

Gresham's Law: bad money drives out good money.

Under these conditions, wages never rise, the economy remains fake and ghey, nobody gets married, and economic stagnation drags out for multiple decades. Boomers will never vote to write down the paper value of their bad assets. What comes next is political radicalization, mass hysteria of female social contagions, female consensus used to drive young men out of the workforce in zero-sum competition, intergenerational resentment, and furious, alienated young men.
