@louisvarge So they have some chance of obtaining a wide knowledge base.

I’m sorry what, isn’t this what “they took from you?”

@insurrealist @tracewoodgrains Ok, but a failed strategy to achieve *what*?

What is there left of substance, when all the specific policy ideas have been abandoned? What is Yarvin actually advocating for as the desired "end-state" of this surge of authoritarian populism?

[Divnoláska @Gloster80256]

@insurrealist @tracewoodgrains So he only cares about power. If truth can't give it to him, he abandons truth. How admirable.

What exactly is left of his ideas? What is he offering now? "Let's have another good old-fashioned strongman dictatorship, that will work out great!"

[Divnoláska @Gloster80256]

@curtis_yarvin And their victory will be good why?

When, as you say, their goals can be entirely dictated from the top, by the whims of whoever they are following at the moment? What indicates that this will have desirable results?

You can just retire in Spain, you can buy an apartment in Finland, you can work in Germany, you can start a company in Czechia. We are the royalty of history, with a vast continent at our feet, blessed to live in the age of the European Union. 🇪🇺

@Noahpinion Men can impregnate women but women can't impregnate men. That's not fair.

@RichardHanania This whole spiel is mildly repulsive toying with people's emotions. "Congratulations, something great just happened to you! Sike!"

@Empty_America My hypothesis: Gay men are a biological accessory to the mother. We know the prob. goes up for each previous male sibling. The more brothers you have, the more competition you're facing for mates and the more work your mother has to do. So it produces a feminized helper unit.

@Trad_West_Art I mean... of course he has to carry her - she's got two left feet.

Nobody should be surprised if the US dumps a dead cat deal at Europe’s door. Trump might simply tell Europe to “take it or leave it”. Sadly, it is not currently apparent that Europe is ready to be put in this dilemma. But ready or not, leave it we must.

Europe would face a historic choice—either defend international law by continuing to support the victim whatever it takes, or attempt to retain US support in the rest of Europe by abandoning part of, or all of, Ukraine.

This choice would be far more difficult than many expect. Europe does not feel ready and we do not yet believe we have what it takes to defend either Ukraine or ourselves. Meanwhile, Putin is continuing to threaten WWIII if Europe stands by Ukraine with more than words. These threats, although empty, continue to hypnotise and paralyse.

There will be those who argue, cynically, that Ukraine is not our fight. They’ve said it before, and now they will have a new argument: we cannot risk losing US protection over some kind of Eastern European “territorial dispute”.

Others may suggest Europe pretends to take the deal to buy some time. But that is a false hope. Plenty of time was already given to us—Ukraine heroically and tragically bought us three years to prepare. Unfortunately we didn’t use it. It is likely that the extra time would be used to kick the can further down the road.

But what’s more—taking the deal, even as a delaying tactic, would mean selling out Ukraine.

Selling out would be the perfect example of Churchill’s warning about “feeding the crocodile”. No matter how many of your friends you feed to your enemy, he will come for you eventually. It’s only a matter of time. Selling out would merely initiate the slow suicide of Europe.

We must do whatever we can, now, because there will be no magical Plan B that leaves our freedoms intact without sacrifice. Defence requires defence. Whatever tools we have, we must use them. Whatever decisions we should have made earlier, we must make them now. The enemy will not wait patiently until we figure this out.

Right now, today, we face a decision that will define the future of Europe. Either we grit our teeth and fight for the cities, skies, trenches and beaches of Ukraine, or we wave the white flag of shameful surrender, throw our friends to the crocodile and cower behind a bush until our own countries appear on the menu.

@lumpenspace @eigenrobot Not piss off Japan, Korea and Vietnam for no payoff.

@nosilverv The fight over investiture goes back to at least the 11th century 😉

[Divnoláska @Gloster80256]

@Ltdsoltd @drewsparkley @doobydoobadooby @wanyeburkett It's not easy. Culture is also automatically indoctrination, on some level, and US is the dominant producer of global culture. When Hollywood shoves stupid ideas in their films and shows, people here unconsciously absorb them and then act on them, like lemmings 🤷

[Divnoláska @Gloster80256]

@Ltdsoltd @drewsparkley @doobydoobadooby @wanyeburkett Oh, I will concede this point - dealing with you as a hegemon has been, up to this point, very pleasant. It is actually possible to coexist with you just fine, most of the time, which certainly can't be said for e.g. Russia.

[Divnoláska @Gloster80256]

@Ltdsoltd @drewsparkley @doobydoobadooby @wanyeburkett I would much prefer that American problems *didn't* migrate over, but right now we're already dealing with e.g. blue-haired college students rambling about critical decolonization, so tough luck on that.

[Divnoláska @Gloster80256]

@Ltdsoltd @drewsparkley @doobydoobadooby @wanyeburkett For one, part of my family lives in the US, Mr Yankee.

Secondly, US political ideas are contagious and whatever is in fashion now there will eventually find its way here, in some form.

[Divnoláska @Gloster80256]

@wil_da_beast630 Absolutely. Psy-ops are getting cheaper and more sophisticated by the day. Moving electoral opinions by 2-3 points for peanuts...

[Divnoláska @Gloster80256]

@Ltdsoltd @drewsparkley @doobydoobadooby @wanyeburkett Are you ok? Like mental-healt-wise?
