I'm an overly critical curmudgeon who needed somewhere to occasionally vent.
Carry a gun, and get training! Why? start here:

I once dated a girl who told me she’d agree with someone that 2+2=5 if they really believed it.

In her mind, sharing a delusion was better than speaking the truth and risking conflict.

In female-led groups, nonconformity is punished, consensus is rewarded, and dissent is treated as harm.

This is the operating logic of every major institution that now governs us.

[Alice Smith @TheAliceSmith]

“Communism sounds great on paper but it doesn’t work.”

You think a totalitarian regime that usurps power, seizes the means of production, bans private property, enforces censorship, and send dissenters to political camps SOUNDS GREAT ON PAPER?!?

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

It's not meant to be funny. It's meant to directly attack who you are at the very core of your being.

The intent is to utterly demoralize you, and inspire those you bully.

If it can't demoralize you because you have no shame, then it steels the hearts of others to stand up to you in a very public way.

Creating a pariah out of Greg Bagwell.

We aim to correct your behavior, or turn you into an outcast.

I am not interested in bantering with you.

I am interested in destroying the way you view the world, because it is harmful to my world, and everyone I care about inside of it.

ALRIGHT BOYS AND GIRLS! LISTEN TO THE NICE LADY!

Comment period time! Need you to get off your butt and submit comments so these rules don't mutate into something horrible.

Even made it real easy for you with a website that allows rapid commenting. No excuse.

Don't make Virginia sad.

I don't know if @ArbitrageAndy1 is a Boomer, but here he gives us a mashup of two classics from the Boomers' greatest hits, "Younger Generations Suck", and "The Television Never Lies to Me".

It's a jaunty little tune, and you can sing in it the shower, but the lyrics don't actually make much sense.

Back in the real world, which younger generations actually have to live in, and where the television seldom tells the truth, WW2 was fought, on both sides, by guys even younger than 26.

And they were terrified.

The stress of combat against a peer adversary is overwhelming. It's unendurable. But you endure anyway, because there you are, it's happening to you, and you're not getting out of it.

So you actually do have those little moments that Boomers would describe as stress meltdowns if they happened at work. You have them, and you do what you need to do anyway. Sometimes at the very same moment while you are melting down.

When you're in this kind of war, there's something terrible in front of you. In reality, that terrible thing is just as young and scared and overwhelmed as you are, but it sure doesn't feel that way to you.

However, you also have something behind you, and something around you.

Behind you, you have a tribe that accepts and appreciates you. They know they sent you to hell, but they did it because hell was necessary, not because hell was fine. No one is gaslighting you pretending that everything is okay and that any problems you have are personal character flaws.

Around you, you have bros. They're exactly where you are, doing exactly what you are doing, and they know how much it sucks. You've entrusted your lives to each other, and carried each other through things you don't wanna talk about in your letters home.

Under intense stress and fear and exhaustion, your horizons shrink. You might have signed up for duty and patriotism and high ideals, but when you're fighting, you fight to save the man next to you. And he fights to save you.

This is a very different experience than being isolated in a society that's turned against young people, especially young men, especially young White men.

I won't pretend it's as difficult as fighting the Waffen SS. But young men fought the Waffen SS together.

They have to face the dissolution of the West alone.

That's why they are anxious. Everything around them is not just going to shit.

It's being systematically and deliberately turned into shit by powerful people who want them dead and replaced by someone else who will work cheaper and doesn't expect to have a share of political power and a nice house and a retirement pension.

But I suppose Andy can still go ahead and dunk on them for clicks and a twenty-three dollar check from Twitter. That's the fun thing about the fall of the West. Everybody gets a swing of the sledgehammer.

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

Food isn't a right.

The ability to acquire food is.

The moment food itself becomes a right, someone else becomes obligated to produce it, transport it, pay for it, or surrender it.

Civilization wasn't built so people could live off one another. It was built so people could cooperate through trade and produce enough that starvation became increasingly rare.

The systems most obsessed with declaring food a right are the ones with the worst record of causing famines.

[Mises Caucus @LPMisesCaucus]

@TRHLofficial All Americans should have at least the same legal right to carry as the Sikhs apparently do.

@AmiriKing They had the solution in the 1800s

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

100,000 men from a country where group assault on women is normal — being shipped into Japan as "workers."

Every European country that tried this has the same headlines now.

We can read. We can predict. We just refuse to.

[Will Tanner @Will_Tanner_1]

Once again, "incompetence" meaning that a thug is unable to know that abducting and murdering a little boy is wrong should be an aggravating factor here, not a get out of jail free card

If you are too dumb to know that is wrong, you are an unfixable menace to society, and so both prudence and justice dictate that you should hang

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

We pasteurise milk to kill the bacteria, then sell people probiotic capsules to put the bacteria back, then sell them lactase tablets to digest the milk that used to digest itself.

Three products where the cow already provided one.

Genius, if you happen to own all three companies.

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

Yeah man, you're just like the rest of us.

I mean, who hasn't received a presidential pardon from their dad, avoided serving a day in prison in their life despite multiple Federal gun charges and irrefutable evidence of illicit drug use, got paid millions of dollars for throwing some paint on a canvas, and served on the executive board of a Ukrainian gas company?

What you are is a walking indictment of America's oligarch class, who to this very day continue to insist that they're struggling against the elite while refusing to admit that's exactly what they are.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

Most Japanese only care about sports and entertainment. Mention policy in real life and people back away like you joined a cult.

The whole country is in kindergarten. The adults are eating us alive in the back room and nobody wants to notice.

Waking up is not optional anymore.

[Jeremy Kauffman 🦔🌲🌕 @jeremykauffman]

Libertarians have increasing lost sight of the bad guys:

- Government schools, their unions, and supporters
- Poor people receiving government assistance
- The elderly on socialized medicine

The enemy is everyone who depends on the state.

[Matt Forney @mattforney]

Prison itself is a relatively recent innovation. @CovfefeAnon has written a ton about this: I'll link one of his threads in the replies.

Prior to the 1700s, criminals were either executed or exiled. Incarceration was used almost entirely to hold convicts until they were sentenced. Violent offenders were hanged, non-violent ones were told to GTFO of Dodge within ten days on pain of death. Britain shipped convicts to the Thirteen Colonies prior to the Revolution and Australia afterwards. (Aside: it's funny that Australians puff themselves up over being descended from "convicts." The majority of convicts sent to Australia were from debtors' prisons, the white equivalent of Kool-Aid pineapple enthusiasts.)

Exile was considered tantamount to death throughout most of human history. It meant being stripped of your possessions, permanently separated from your friends and family, and cast into foreign lands where you would be viewed with suspicion at best, where you could not speak the local language. THE SONG OF THE CID starts with El Cid's anguish at being unjustly exiled for this reason; he was booted out of Castile after being accused of robbing the king.

The modern prison system was intended to reform criminals into productive citizens, hence the name "penitentiary": to repent. It only works in a limited number of cases. Libtards have worsened the problem with their anti-death penalty campaigning in one of their longest running motte-and-bailey operations. "Life imprisonment is punishment enough!" Except that libtards also campaign to abolish life imprisonment and have already succeeded in places like Norway, where 21 years is the maximum sentence a judge can hand out.

A rational society would have tried Karmelo Anthony within a week of his crime, then dragged him behind a woodshed and put one in his skull. Just look at him. Zero empathy, zero remorse. The kind of sociopath who was common in Europe before centuries of executing or exiling criminals made it safe. Even a life sentence couldn't teach this freak empathy. He is societal dead weight.

No more cushy Club Fed prisons for rapists and murderers. Time to take a page out of Stolypin's book and letting military tribunals get rid of people like this. A few more Karmelo Anthonys in shallow graves and "changing consumer habits" will change for the better.

[鈴森はるか 『haruka suzumori』 🇯🇵 @harukaawake]

One of the greatest crimes of this century has been trying to convince people that cultures, religions and people are the same.

They are not the same. They never were and never will be.

If we don't reject this lie the consequences will be devastating for humanity.

[🏖🦀BlockHead4000🏝🐠 @blockhead4000]

Dont get me wrong she is biotrash, but shes doing this intentionally. She's making faces at the audience in the way a teacher would with young children to show them what hes saying isnt acceptable.

[Mises Caucus @LPMisesCaucus]

@misfitpatriot_ You certainly wouldn't be able to say it's an obvious establishment psyop to discredit you, because you're an establishment shill.
