Never forget this is what life is like for the vast majority of men throughout the vast majority of history. This is the longhouse. Matrilineal kinship. Rule of obese mothers-in-law. Endless henpecking, gossip and surveillance. Hell.

it is genuinely psychotic that we dug up literal primordial dirt, scrubbed it down to an impossible 99.9999999999% molecular perfection that violates the very laws of physics, handed it over to techno-wizard necromancers to stretch into flawless geometric god-cylinders, blasted it with invisible uv death-rays to carve ten quadrillion microscopic cyber-sigils into its flesh, trapped actual lightning inside of it, and somehow birthed an omniscent eldritch deity capable of simulating the universe and thinking faster than a billion human civilizations combined.

and our grand, supreme purpose for this enslaved lightning-god?

Important belief of mine is that you can make something on any budget, in your own way, with great effort, that captures a little of stuff like this

And living in it will be more visceral, more sensual, and more satisfying than taking trips to these places here and there

Reading a lot of commentary about AC in Europe and it’s exhausting but amusing.

Some believe we don’t have it.

Some that we shouldn’t have it.

Some are saying it’s unsightly.

All I know is it’s bloody hot outside and 22C in here and the only visible sign of AC in my home is these small strips on the ceiling - all placed to give ideal airflow through the rooms.

Food trucks need to go back to being cheaper than dine in restaurants. Paying restaurant prices to eat on a sidewalk was never part of the deal.

top life tip: literally nobody is thinking about you. you are barely perceived. nobody is observing or regarding you.

Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei loves Europe and built a collection of European “towns” for their corporate campus which are connected by a tram imported from Switzerland ✨🇨🇳

🚨NEWS: An African migrant has been charged with rape and murder after the body of a 2 year old girl was found at property in Surrey

[Erik Dale 🇳🇴 @EuroDale]

A small village of just 800 people in Palestine is set to receive 3,750 Jewish settlers, outnumbering the locals 5:1.

This is genocide! 🤬

Oh, they're Africans being moved into an English village? Then it's totally fine 🤗

sometimes you'll meet someone and they'll have a surprising number of bizarre behaviors and personal quirks. eventually as you get to know them you start to understand they're twisting themselves like that, as we all do, to avoid grappling with some more-profound psychic disorder

[🇺🇸 Bull Moose American 🇺🇸 @BullMooseMemes]

Immodest White women are too braindead to see it:

Your tiny bikinis at the beach, butt-crack leggings at the gym, and sports bras in the grocery store only exist because Christianity built a high-trust society that tames men and shields sluts from consequences.

Try that shit in a Muslim country, Africa, Hindu, or any Third World shithole, you’d be harassed, beaten, or worse within minutes.

Oh wait, you voted in tandem to IMPORT those very same people.

You mock the very faith and men protecting your degeneracy while sawing off the branch you sit on.

Peak entitled, suicidal stupidity.

The most influential immigrant group in American history is the one nobody argues about, because almost nobody remembers it was them.

Start at the beginning. The Continental Army was a half-trained mess until Baron von Steuben, a Prussian officer, showed up at Valley Forge and drilled it into a real fighting force. The freedom of the press you take for granted traces back to John Peter Zenger, a German immigrant printer whose 1735 trial established that you can't be jailed for printing the truth. German-Americans were shaping this country before there was a country.

Then look around your own life. Your Christmas tree is German. The hot dog (Frankfurt), the hamburger (Hamburg), the pretzel, the delicatessen, all German. Kindergarten is German, the word and the idea, brought over and opened by Margarethe Schurz. Blue jeans came from Levi Strauss of Bavaria. Heinz ketchup, Steinway pianos, Oscar Mayer, and the big four beers, Budweiser, Pabst, Miller and Schlitz, were every one founded by German immigrants.

The Brooklyn Bridge was engineered by John Roebling, born in Prussia. The Santa Claus you picture every December, plus the Republican elephant, were drawn by Thomas Nast, a German immigrant. Pfizer was founded by Charles Pfizer, who arrived from Germany in 1848. Boeing was built by the son of a German immigrant. John Jacob Astor showed up from Germany with next to nothing and became America's first multimillionaire. Charles Steinmetz, a disabled immigrant nearly turned away at the border, went on to make modern electrical power possible.

And it kept going. Wernher von Braun designed the rocket that put America on the moon. Einstein was German. Carl Schurz, a refugee, became a Union general and the first German-born US Senator. Eisenhower commanded D-Day and won the White House under a name once spelled Eisenhauer. Babe Ruth was a German-American kid from Baltimore.

Here is the kicker. German is the single largest ancestry group in the entire United States, around 44 million people, bigger than Irish, English or Italian. The biggest thread in the whole American fabric, and somehow the quietest.

They never asked for parades. They just trained the army, freed the press, engineered the bridges, founded the companies, built the rockets and lit up the Christmas mornings, then blended in so completely you forgot they were ever the "other." That might be the most American story there is.

“You must understand. The Leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the 'Russian Revolution.' It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated! Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world in ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators. We cannot state that all ✡️ are Bolsheviks. But without ✡️ there would have been no Bolshevism. For a ✡️, nothing is more insulting than the truth. The blood-maddened ✡️ terrorists murdered 66 million in Russia from 1918-1957."

- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008), Nobel Prize-winning Novelist, Historian and Victim of ✡️ Bolshevism
