Exactly. That said, most elites today would be shocked at the coarseness of elite political discourse from the past.

This changed with feminism. As Chesterton said, "the sexes can only be coarse separately."

Working class sensibilities are still mostly shaped by male preferences. Frankness--and even coarseness--signals low class because the lower classes are where men still say what they mean.

Which is bad news for politics because, Chesterton again, "nine times out of ten, the coarse word is the word that condemns an evil and the refined word the word that excuses it."

We should not be allied with this

[Logan Hall @loganclarkhall]

These people are deliberately ripping the country apart and trying to hand everything our ancestors built over centuries to foreigners who showed up yesterday and have never been able to develop or maintain a functioning civilization in history. There is no higher betrayal.

Joe Rogan just revealed that presidents and former presidents personally pressured Spotify to have him removed for "vaccine misinformation."

And not one of them apologized when his questions turned out to be right.

He says he still can't talk about most of it. What he will say is that the campaign was coordinated, expensive, and came from the very top.

ROGAN: "They tried to crush my sponsors. They organized campaigns. There was PACs involved."

ROGAN: "I can't even talk about it. But there was presidents involved and former presidents involved that were contacting Spotify. Trying to get me removed for vaccine misinformation."

ROGAN: "And it turned out to be right. All of it."

ROGAN: "Not a single apology from anybody. Not a single retraction, not a single mea culpa, not a single 'we were wrong.'"

The pressure failed. Joe's audience grew. And the people who tried to silence him never had to answer for any of it...

When Thomas Jefferson was 40, he was a kind of older brother to James Madison - then 32. After a breakup that left Madison depressed, Jefferson wrote him ‘firmness of mind and unremitting occupation will not leave you long in pain.’ Holds up.

We're banning raves, because we don't want you having fun where we can't watch you. By the way let me tell you about Woodstock.

We're cracking down on underage drinking. It's bad for you. Yeah of course we hit up the pubs at your age it was great.

We're banning smoking, but just for you - the smoking age will go up one year every year. Oh yes of course, we used to be able to smoke inside everywhere, it was great really.

We're banning flavored vapes. We don't have any evidence they're bad for you, you just like them too much.

We're banning dodgeball during recess, someone might get hurt. Yeah we really enjoyed dodgeball too.

We're banning flirting, because it might make the girls uncomfortable.

We're locking you in your room for the next two years. Yes we know you're in no danger from the virus, but we're worried that you'll get us sick. By the way you have to take this needle if you want to leave your room again. Yes, twice. Well there will be boosters too. No, we aren't worried about side effects, that doesn't effect us at all.

We're closing the frat houses, because we don't want you having fun without our permission. Please join these officially sanctioned university clubs instead.

We're bringing in labor from the third world to work the service jobs, so you can't have a summer job.

You need to go to university to get a good job. By the way we're raising the price of tuition. Oh look we're raising it again. Don't worry there are loans. At interest.

Actually we're giving the good jobs to the foreigners we just imported, to make up for our racist past. We are very good people. No of course we aren't sacrificing anything. You just have to take one for the team.

Also, we're giving the foreigners the houses. We needed to increase real estate prices. For our pensions, you see. Sadly no, you'll probably never be able to afford one yourself. By the way don't forget to pay your taxes. Need to support those pensions somehow! Eh? No, we're giving ourselves tax breaks of course. Seniors discount you know.

Oh by the way, that one thing you still have, now that we've banned joy and kicked every ladder out from under you? That social media stuff you kids like? You guessed it! We're banning that too! Just for you though, we're still going to watch AI videos on Facebook. It's for your safety, you see. We've noticed that you're all getting rather irate, and we think it would be better for your mental health if you shut up for a while. Why don't you just go outside?

Eh? No of course we aren't going to stop Ahmed and his twelve illiterate cousins from raping your sister, that would be culturally insensitive, which would make us feel very bad, and we can't have that.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Musk takes government contracts to provide services like building rocket ships. For some reason you idiots complain about that but you don’t complain about third world immigrants who take tax money to provide literally no service whatsoever to anyone. You’re not serious people.

I love that we’re the new Rome. Peace with Persia in the afternoon and a gladiator fight in the evening, all on the Emperor’s birthday. Another 1,000 years.

What stage of diversity is this? Now we're being told Americans are not smart enough to work in banking?

History will remember Elon Musk alongside DaVinci, Gutenberg, Fulton, Pasteur, Edison, Ford and Jobs.

History will have no recollection of any kind of Ro Khanna.

[Wokal Distance @wokal_distance]

It's kind of amazing that for 2 years roving gangs of leftists walked around society tearing down public monuments and lighting things on fire, and it got absorbed into the background of society and treated as though it were just another unremarkable feature of everyday life.

In the wake of decolonization, we have spent more on aid to Africa than it would have cost to start multiple settlements on Mars

We could have had bases on the moon, settlements on Mars, and a thriving Rhodesia

Instead we have none of that, and billions of dollars sent to the Dark Continent every year to do no good whatsoever

In 1980 Ronald Reagan convincingly won the presidency against Jimmy Carter, and also tipped the Senate. But the democrats maintained control of the House and Tip O’Neill remained speaker. That meant a lot of people voted for Reagan, but then voted democratic down ballot. They could do this knowing bipartisanship was possible - that the country had a coherent population, and differences were not so wide that people would refuse to work together.

Reagan was able to push his tax reduction plan through Congress. Tip O’Neill basically said ‘this is what the people voted for, so we will work with you.’ That could not happen today.

The US electorate is balkanizing because of too much immigration too fast - which is exploited by unscrupulous politicians. We will probably not see the kind of bipartisanship of the early 1980s again in our lifetimes - if ever. And this is why a 1924 style moratorium on immigration is necessary, coupled with aggressive assimilation policies and deportations of those who don’t really want to be American. And it’s why birthright citizenship is a disaster in present circumstances.
