He's dying.
He's deteriorating physically.
He's crumbling mentally.
He's going to be gone soon.
And when he is, his cult will not survive.
Take heart, America.

@sentientist@EPoe187 Who's applauding "the decline of the white population"? White people aren't dying out or being "replaced" -- there are simply more nonwhite people coexisting with them. And what does "losing their countries" mean? Are they being deported?
I was shooting heroin and reading โThe Fountainheadโ in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.
โBad news, detective. We got a situation.โ
โWhat? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?โ
โWorse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollarsโ worth of bitcoins.โ
The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. โWhat kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?โ
โNot yet. But mark my words: weโre going to figure out who did this and weโre going to take them down โฆ provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.โ
โEasy, chief,โ I said. โAny rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.โ
He laughed. โThatโs why youโre the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.โ
โDonโt worry,โ I said. โIโm on it.โ
I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.
โHome Depotโข Presents the Police!ยฎโ I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. โNobody move unless you want to!โ They didnโt.
โNow, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?โ No one spoke up.
โCome on,โ I said. โDonโt you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?โ
It didnโt seem like they did.
โSeriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, Iโm just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.โ
Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didnโt care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.
I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.
โSubwayโข Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!ยฎโ I yelled.
Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.
โStop right there!โ I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.
I was losing him. โListen, Iโll pay you to stop!โ I yelled. โWhat would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? Iโll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn โBob Barr โ08โ extra-large long-sleeved menโs T-shirt!โ
He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.
โAll right, all right!โ the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. โI give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.โ
โWhyโd you do it?โ I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikosโข Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffsยฎ on the guy.
โBecause I was afraid.โ
โAfraid?โ
โAfraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,โ he said. โIโm a central banker.โ
I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.
โLet this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,โ I said. โNo matter how many bitcoins you steal, youโll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.โ
He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me.
Today in the Netherlands they have to splash water on steel bridges to cool them down and avoid damage from the extreme heat.
The costs of extreme weather are grossly underestimated now and in the future.

The future we want
What the West Still Doesnโt Get It:
Communismโs True Core: The Systemic Lie
Most people in the West think they understand communism. They picture bread lines, gulags, failed five-year plans, and the collapsed Soviet Union. They treat it as a discredited economic theory โ an experiment that proved that abolishing private property doesnโt work. Case closed, history moved on.
This misunderstanding may be the most dangerous intellectual failure of our time.
Communism was never primarily an economic system. Economics was the surface. Beneath it lay something far more insidious: a total, systemic, institutionalized commitment to lying. Not occasional dishonesty. Not spin or propaganda in the ordinary sense. Something deeper โ a civilizational war against truth itself, waged through every institution, every classroom, every newspaper, every conversation, until reality itself became negotiable and the lie became the air people breathed.
The Words Weโre Missing
The Polish language, forged by decades of living under this system, produced words for this phenomenon that English simply cannot match:
Zakลamanie [zah-kwah-MAH-nyeh] โ a state of total, pervasive, socially embedded falsehood, a condition in which an entire society is saturated with lies so thoroughly that truth becomes almost inaccessible.
Obลuda [ob-woo-dah] โ a deep, performative hypocrisy, the gap between what is proclaimed and what is actually practiced, the mask worn so long it begins to feel like a face.
These are not words for individual liars. They describe a system โ a mode of social organization built on organized mendacity, where the lie is not the exception but the foundation. English has no single word for either concept, and that linguistic gap is not a coincidence. It reflects a gap in experience. Cultures that did not live under communism lack the vocabulary because they lack the wound.
And because they lack the vocabulary, they struggle to recognize the thing when it reappears in new clothing.
The Continuity: Communism, Leftism, Wokeism
What we call wokeism today, or the broader radical left, is not a new phenomenon. It is the same operating system running on updated hardware. The specifics have changed โ instead of the proletariat, we have marginalized identity groups; instead of bourgeois class enemies, we have racists and transphobes; instead of socialist realism, we have DEI statements. But the deep structure is the same.
That deep structure is this: truth is not discovered, it is assigned. Reality is not something to be understood honestly but something to be narrated strategically. Language is not a tool for communication but a weapon of power. And anyone who resists the approved narrative is not simply wrong โ they are dangerous, and must be silenced, shamed, or destroyed.
This is zakลamanie in its modern form. This is obลuda wearing a human rights badge.
The same movement that insists men can become women will insist, with equal fervor, that questioning this is an act of violence. The same institutions that claim to champion free inquiry systematically suppress dissent. The same people who invoke tolerance as their highest value are among the most intolerant forces in public life. The contradiction is not accidental โ it is structural. It is the system working as designed.
Why the West Still Doesnโt Get It
People who grew up in freedom tend to assume, at some level, that bad actors know they are lying. That somewhere behind the ideological performance, there is a cynical operator who privately acknowledges reality. This assumption is wrong, and it is why Westerners consistently underestimate what they are dealing with.
The totalitarian lie, at its mature stage, is not cynical. It is believed. Or rather, it creates a condition in which the distinction between belief and performance collapses entirely. People learn to say things they do not believe so fluently, and for so long, that they lose access to what they actually think.
