One thing about Pop Punk and Emo is that it really should only be played by people in their teens and 20s. As an aging Millennial, I get to see people repost footage from shows of the old bands playing now and it looks really bad to see these middle-aged dudes playing that stuff.

C. S. Lewis, letter dated March 16, 1955:

“I think I can understand that feeling about a housewife’s work being like that of Sisyphus (who was the stone rolling gentleman). But it is surely, in reality, the most important work in the world. What do ships, railways, mines, cars, government etc exist for except that people may be fed, warmed, and safe in their own homes? As Dr Johnson said, ‘To be happy at home is the end of all human endeavour’. (1st to be happy to prepare for being happy in our own real home hereafter: 2nd in the meantime to be happy in our houses.) We wage war in order to have peace, we work in order to have leisure, we produce food in order to eat it. So your job is the one for which all others exist…”

Very happy to say it again. The Odyssey is an amazing film, and missing out on seeing it because you think it’s woke or whatever is cutting off your nose to spite your face. Your loss.

“I am age 66. This is exactly how I remember England as a lad. This was Butlins holiday camp. I knew no one that went on holiday abroad (except my Auntie and we thought she was so posh). This is what they took from us. Anyone born after 1997 has no idea what it’s like to have your own country.”

The communist always must destroy your history. History is what attaches you to something. Memories make a home. The communist attacks your history to unmoor you from your home, so you won’t fight him when he demolishes it and renovates it in his image.

World Cup football “soccer” doesn’t have quite the same excitement when the teams really don’t reflect the respective national character anymore

Homesteaders, agrarians, and populists relying on “spreading awareness”, protesting, or Americanisms like “we the people” and “the silent majority” aren’t nearly as effective or influential as people think they are.

A deeply unpopular Laurentian liberal elite minority, one that increasingly LARPs as blue-state Americans and takes its cues from them, managed to transform the country against the popular will.

Over a roughly twenty-year period between the 1940s and 1960s, they spent decades scheming behind the scenes. They changed the flag, lured French Canadians into supporting them through the Royal Commission on Biculturalism and Bilingualism by promising greater national recognition of Canada’s French heritage, then dropped the whole thing almost immediately. They pulled the rug out from under them and basically said, “SYKE, you thought. Here’s infinite immigrants instead.”

In 1971 they pushed multiculturalism and the cultural mosaic, abolished assimilation while polling showed around 80% of Canadians opposed increased immigration. They later entrenched their ideology through the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, stacked and empowered a judiciary that would future-proof it, formalized the project through the 1988 Multiculturalism Act, and gradually consolidated influence over the media, education system, and cultural institutions.

The result was a decades-long effort to indoctrinate Canadians into viewing their country as a post-national economic zone built on stolen land called Turtle Island, where Canadians don’t exist, but foreigners are just as Canadian as you and me borders are morally questionable, and none is illegal on stolen land.

This isn’t going to be reversed through awareness campaigns, symbolic protests, or endlessly posting facts online. Political systems are ultimately shaped by elites and counter-elites. The only way this order gets replaced is if a rival elite, or a political force capable of becoming one, displaces the existing ruling class and takes its place.

That process will almost certainly involve some degree of populism, but populism by itself is not enough. You need people who can actually build institutions, wield power, and replace the current establishment rather than just complain about it or bug off into the woods, or try to balkanize the country.

The reclusive person who feels guilty about it, forces him or herself to do some socializing, strongly dislikes it and becomes hostile to others, forcing him/her to retreat back into seclusion - until guilt forces the process to repeat.

Time for everyone to admit the Trump thing is over. The right wing in America is over for at least 10 years. All the populist energy, pissed away for a war no one but Jews wanted. Pathetic.

Big picture summary: Boomers were the biggest generation ever but chose to have 1.5 kids rather than the 3.5 kids needed to support them in old age so they replaced the missing kids with random people from around the Third World and it is going about as well as you would expect.

@1844OrSomething @matsumotomorio I have one, it’s incredibly fun! The only downside is the bbs can sometimes not feed but all you need to do is put some graphite in the bb container amd they will feed smooth.

Canada went from "promoting diversity" to just everyone being Indian so quickly

[ib @Indian_Bronson]

Think about the political and cultural capital Israel has now spent down:

The politically conscious of the left wing & right wing, especially under 40, in every Western country now agrees on one thing:

Israel and its foreign lobby run by the diaspora, whether citizens or not, substantially directs US foreign policy in an undemocratic, alien manner at the highest levels, and cynically levies accusations of anti-Semitism to shut up complaints or even notice all to its own benefit at US taxpayer expense and military risk.

That is now simply obvious to anyone paying attention. And for what? Iran will be able to rebuild and no one in the West will be able to win national level elections unless they disavow Israeli involvement or affiliation.

It’s great how every single movie you can think of that you think you’d like to watch with your kids on a Friday night is guaranteed to be on absolutely none of the streaming services you pay for and is solely available for purchase for an insulting 15 dollars on Amazon.
