99% of the GOP congress still haven't said a word about Elissa Slotkin's seditious comments.
The only members who have commented are
Brandon Gill - Texas (@realBrandonGill)
Mike Lee - Utah (@BasedMikeLee)
Lisa McClain - Michigan (@RepLisaMcClain)
This is why the Republicans lose. You have a member of the opposite party saying she's going to target your staffers with lawfare to terrorize them out of politics for good and you have nothing to say?
Some of the good ones like @Eric_Schmitt have a good excuse because they're traveling with the President on the campaign trail right now but the vast majority are just impotent or lazy. Totally unacceptable.
Call your senator, call your member of the house and tell them to wake the fuck up. We have a midterm election in a few weeks and Slotkin just handed you the gift of the century.
Many don’t want to hear this but the best way to punish the GOP is to turnout and vote. All of the worst elements within it want a loss so they can then use that to enact purges and say “the solution is to appeal more to women and minorities and not these young white men.”
You need to understand how Right-wing people under 40 view the Left.
When we think of Leftists, we do not think of Barack Obama or Ezra Klein. Yes, these guys are on the Left, but younger Millennials and Zoomers on the Right do not think of Leftists in their own age bracket as polished technocrats.
These are not the sort of people that make up our Left-wing counterparts that we grew up with, went to school with, or work with.
When we think of Leftists, the first thing that pops into our head are a bunch of disgusting, depraved, spiteful mutants who want to destroy everything around them as payback for the crime of being born.
We think of Discord troons that invaded our hobbies, Reddit mods who are drunk on the most insignificant power imaginable, that one girl from high school or college who became a literal Communist, and that friend or family member who cut off all contact because we refused to treat their mental illness like a status symbol.
We think of people who, if they ever became a majority of the country and actually managed to possess political power, would inevitably kill tens of millions of people out of blind envy and petty cruelty.
Younger people on the Right come across as impatient and anxious in their mindset and mannerisms because they understand what will eventually happen when these people succeed their Gen X and Boomer predecessors in the Democratic Party.
They know what is to come if their own generational cohorts on the Left actually take power, and they feel incredibly exasperated that it seems like none of their parents or grandparents understand just how late the hour truly is.
If Elissa Slotkin isn't arrested and tried for her sedition and terrorism, the message it sends is that it is open season on Republican staffers as soon as the Democrats retake control.
We have control right now. When you know your enemy is going to hit you, you hit them first.
Exactly. The law was written for people who can comprehend and understand its principles. The failure of the modern West is assuming that anyone can do this, when it has become clear that Western Civilization is exclusive to Westerners.
Our enemies know this and think our principles make us stupid and weak, which is why they’re more than happy to weaponize them against us.
Evil detests beauty because beauty is proof of a transcendental order, of objective Goodness and Truth.
To attack beauty is to wage war against the possibility of transcendence.
Beauty is a great affront to nihilism. It testifies to that which is greater than the individual, because to create a beautiful thing is to acknowledge that you are answerable to standards higher than your own. Beauty is often called a great evangelist for this reason.
This is why they outright destroy beauty or try to subvert your perception of it by promoting ugliness or triviality. Beauty is neither neutral nor trivial — your ability to discern the beautiful from the ugly is intimately connected to your capacity to recognize the divine.
Dietrich von Hildebrand once declared that "beauty is the archenemy of mediocrity." Why?
Beauty elevates a person toward truth, goodness, and the divine. The antitheses to beauty drag the soul down into nihilism and worship of the self.
Approved field trips to “give back” or “get involved with the community,” run by orgs with $250m endowments that build their entire operation around letting you safely larp charity… something you could actually access by just like, shoveling your neighbor’s driveway
@shaunmmaguire Part of the problem is that it is illegal for these companies to hire or even prefer Americans.
They cannot mention, discuss, or hint at possible problems with hiring foreign nationals for certain roles, not even ones from countries we are fighting wars with.
Nope, not remotely the same. Greeks were Europeans Christians who were fighting for independence against Turkic Muslim overlords. Support for them was natural due to commonality with them and far less with those who ruled over them.
By your logic, me wanting to see Boers be safe either as refugees or preferably with their own state so they stop being murdered and treated as second class citizens, to stop basically being the only productive people used to support millions of blacks is somehow the same as Pro-Palestine, and that’s insane and retarded.
It’s simply because Boers are one of the closest people to Americans on earth and I’d rather not see them exterminated or enslaved. Likewise, the Greeks were a font of Western Civilization and the Turks are roaches. Why would you want to see roaches rule over the land and people which birthed men like Plato and Aristotle? Xenophon and Alexander?
That’s supposed to be based and Right Wing? No, that’s just gay.
@curtis_yarvin Yes. You need to stop living lies. This is you saying “your ideas work in practice, but not according to my theory.” Stop substituting reality for your silly theories. We have shifted all of South America against leftism overnight already. Sorry, we are winning without you.
If one of my kids works really hard and accomplishes something, but another one of my kids is lazy and expects the same rewards, then I appeal to meritocracy.
If a total stranger knocks on my door and claims that they should have my kids’ birthright because they work harder than any of them, then I slam the door in their face.
This is not even remotely difficult to understand.
Okay, can I get a job as a software engineer?
No, we have infinite hordes of Indian H1-Bs for that.
How about something in the manufacturing industry?
No, we exported that to China.
What about one of those new jobs the Trump administration is so proud of creating?
Sorry, 94% of those are for women.
What if I went to college and got another degree?
We've kinda been focusing our admissions on underrepresented minorities lately. You know, the ones who make up 70ish percent of the global population.
So, what exactly do you want me to do?
Well, we do have one opening for a young White man.
Oh? What's that?
We need someone to play a lazy welfare slob in a political ad.
Ummmm... okay, I guess...
Here, smear this Cheeto dust on your shirt.
We're not doing this anymore. You're only using young White men as a punching bag because you're too afraid to depict who actually abuses welfare. The only rational response for us if we want this discrimination to stop is we need to be more of a problem for you than the people who would cry racism if you portrayed the problem accurately.
Clearly you need to learn some lessons.
Young white guy here. 22% of my income gets stolen from me every year to give welfare to boomers that hate me and foreigners that hate me.
I have not been the beneficiary of a federal or state welfare scheme my entire life. I am not alone. Why am I the villain?
The GOP made this idiotic assumption that because a lot of young White men dont have jobs that they are also taking welfare.
7% of welfare recipients are White males and almost all of those are over 50.
Young White males have been locked out of the corporate labor force and are taking money from their parents to live not the government.
Out of touch cowards.
