@elonmusk@CryptoArch3 My only objection so far to your polls was when you made your CEO vote look like a retreat.
Also, when you're asking for advice, you don't have to take it. If you had run your businesses on 51% of whatever people though you should do, every one of them would have been a failure.
Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.
Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.
It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.
I just noticed Grok's headline summary:
Senate Passes $70 Billion Border Funding, Rejects Voter ID Mandate
It occurs to me that maybe what we need to be doing is FUNDING voder ID infrastructure and mandates. I get the feeling everything the left has been doing lately is a perfomative excuse to cover up how desperately broke they are. They support illegals/vagrants because enforcing laws against them is expensive, and it's an excuse not to.
If we overfund it, they'll vote for it. Not something I'd want to do for everything, but without this one, nothing else matters beacause they'll just be back in control running it all into the ground, which is far more expensive.
I’m not a big election fraud guy - but the 24,000 ballot drop showing Spencer Pratt didn’t receive a single vote, is just not realistically possible. Irreducible error rate is even more prevalent when functional literacy of LA is 50%.
@elonmusk@jackunheard I think they're actively trying not to hide the fraud. They want us to see. It's a flex. Their base isn't going to complain, and everyone else knows the system is rigged, which drops opposition turnout enough that they don't need to rig it as much.
The problem we need to address is that since they are a top-down society, they can do something like selling us their cars at half price until our industry is dead. Don't expect free market capitalism to compete with that on a level playing field. They won't leave it level.
The Tariffs were a good idea, so long a we use them as a parrying weapon rather than a crutch.
Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West.
The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time.
There is literally nothing California could do to make their elections less secure.
Mail in ballots and No ID.
Weeks of counting with no real chain of custody.
The fraud is staggering.
It’s an insult to America.
It’s an insult to Americans.
US IPOs have averaged a 6% annualized return in the 3 years following their listing.
That's nearly half the return of the broad stock market.
There will always be big IPO winners, but more often than not stocks underperform after going public.

@visegrad24 Same was true of George Floyd. He died of a drug overdose, but Derek Chauvin, the police officer in that case, was still sent to prison for murder.
It's more than that. You stepped in when they had near complete control of the flow of information, right down to the domain and hosting level. Anyone trying to start anything open from scratch would be crushed.
You bought a core institution and quickly stripped away their layers of moles and backdoors. Had they tried to stop you at the hosting level, you could've gone around them via starlink.
They came for your advertisers, your companies, your reputation, and possibly your family.
You took all that heat and you grew faster.
You made them go make the failed twitter clone from scratch, try to build SEO , advertisers, and search history with just the extremists who bailed or were banned from other places.
No one else was going to do that.
All good points and questions. I'm not willing to go with never though. If things continue the way they're going, we could well be on the other foot, with them asking whether we're truly intelligent enough to be considered responsible for our actions.
Think of Tesla's full self driving. Your points should still apply, but it goes 7 million miles between major collisions, 8X better than human drivers. How should we treat that? Should the CEO go to prison because he caused one accident by preventing seven? Should the AI be credited as being a better driver than a human?
I'm not in the habit of believing humans or AIs without making my own judgement. If we make policy decisions based primarily on belief, we're going to have a lot harder time coming to agreement than if we make them based on tangible numbers.
It's a bastard offspring of the sunk cost fallacy. Membership in their circles requires them to perform various ridiculous and awful loyalty tests and virtue signals.
The deeper this goes, the higher the cost they've paid. They adopt new language that fundamentally alters their thoughts and beliefs and coerce others to do the same.
If you provide evidence that they're wrong, accepting it would be very costly to their psyche. The easier answer is to be angry to avoid thinking about it in too much detail.
@elonmusk@IterIntellectus@PopTingz They'll keep trying to hurt you until you bend the knee. At first, they must have believed you would, or that their power base would break you.
By now they must have realized their mistake. They can't stop though, because you're going to tear it all down regardless.
One of the big reasons for the current lack of patriotism and pride in our nation’s history is that about 40 years ago our most prominent storytellers in Hollywood just basically stopped telling stories about American history altogether, unless it has something to do with WW2, civil rights, or slavery. I mean they just released a movie about the meteorologist who did the weather report for D-Day. They’ll give WW2 weathermen their own movies before they tell a story from any other era of American history.
The Right has attempted to counteract this a little bit, but “conservative” attempts at American history films and TV shows are invariably hokey and kid friendly, the kind of thing you can watch with your grandmother and your 5 year old, and you’ll all be equally informed and bored by the experience.
We need R-rated adult-oriented American history stories. Daniel Boone should have his own series. It would be gritty and violent and not for children, but it would also be phenomenally entertaining and put an American legend back on the cultural map, so to speak. The fact that Daniel Boone hasn’t been depicted on screen at all since like the 60s is a travesty. Throw a dart at that guy’s Wikipedia page and you’ll land on something that could be its own feature length trilogy.
That’s just one example. How is there not a great R-rated movie or series about Antietam? Or Kit Carson? Or the Panama Canal? How does Theodore Roosevelt not have like 10 movies about different periods of his life?
You could go much farther back to pre-American history. A movie about Cortes’s conquest of Tenochtitlan would be tremendous and horrifying and fascinating, and it would introduce into the public consciousness one of the world’s most incredible stories that most Americans know next to nothing about. And on and on.
The possibilities are literally endless. All of these movies, if they’re executed to even a B+ level, could make hundreds of millions of dollars and transform the culture in a way that a million podcast monologues never could. If the Right actually wants to reclaim the culture, this is the place to start.
