Can someone explain to me what exactly Michael Corleone was supposed to do with Fredo?

The man had two options: Kill him for betrayal and nearly getting him and his family killed… Or somehow forgive that.

Man had to go.

@HeroDividend The day trader is a different genus than a value investor.

He's trying to find that same arbitrage 31 times over that timeframe.

(I'm a value investor and day trading is usually just voodoo, grifting, frontrunning or luck.... but that's what they're after)

I do apologize -- I didn't see that you were a Dane tweeting mindlessly from outside both nations in question.

If you wanted to be a part of the discussion you can support the Harald Hardrada fund at: scandanavianshaven'https://t.co/v2pzDTC45p

And yes i'm aware modern day Denmark is not where Harald likely heralded from. But im a history nerd-- no one else gives a shit.

Curious that "innocent white girls raped by Pakistanis" wasn't on your list.

Nor trillion dollar companies, despite Britain fostering the industrial revolution.

Nor battle-ready ships-- despite the Royal Navy once being the envy of the world.

Enthralled European soccer fans think they are responding to ranch dressing and a friendly demeanor. They aren't. They are responding to the fact that we live exponentially better than you. And that starts with your culture and your politics.

@Mish_K_ They are "Jews in last name only" -

They haven't been to Temple in 10 years (except for their cousins Bat Mitzvah)

They take pride in hating their own culture and identity

They don't light candles on Shabbat

At what point do we throw these people out of the tribe?

[Noah Glick @nsglock23]

@jew_viking I emotionally agree. But the catharsis of leaving said nest may be outdone by the negative effects of a silence of reason in the only true international forum.

The definitive-- will not be taking questions-- list about what Europe needs from America, and what America needs from Europe.

What America Needs

1. European food quality— particularly from France and Italy. We're being poisoned in the states. Over the pond I can eat croissants for breakfast and share 2 bottles of wine with dinner, yet somehow I feel fine. Their ketchup has 3 ingredients.

It’s just better, and no quaint Scottish TikTok about how Europeans find Burger King fun will change that.

2. Fewer major league sports-- No American wants to hear this, but it’s true, the communal love of fútbol is invigorating. It’s shared in a way that no sporting events in the US has since the slow death of Baseball as our national pastime.

“Catch the game last night?” “Sure..... Which one?”

3.Car-less spaces — we all need to get around, but the automobile was forced to adapt to European roads and twisting medieval towns. In the US, cars dominate every aspect of urban life, and most aspects of rural life as well. It’s a headache and we lose more than we gain.

4. The joy of service, or at least the respect it deserves. In Europe, a waiter, a maitre d or a gondola operator can live and work with dignity. In the US, these jobs are sneered at. This creates a really shitty environment when the very people who are doing the sneering eat at restaurants 5 times a week.

5. Tipping culture is trash and everyone hates it. We should throw it into Mount Doom.

What Europe needs

1. AC. I’ll let the rest of the internet deal with this. But in a nutshell-- you idiots in Europe could install $56 dollar cooling mechanisms and literally save hundreds of lives. To not do so is as evil as it is stupid.

2. Siestas are for the weak and unmotivated. Are you a functional human? Then put in a normal, 9 hour working day, it’s not that hard.

3. The understanding that getting rich isn’t a great life goal, but is the necessary goal of 5% of the population-- the same 5% that makes everything run on time. And if you don’t give them the space to do it, your societies will flounder. Have any unicorn companies come out of France recently? There's a reason for that.

4. A citizenry who are willing to challenge authority— To quote the B movie V for Vendetta (about a fictional UK that descends into despotism):

“People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people." Americans still have this ideology in our DNA, but it has been tragically lost on Europeans. To the point where they will accept any arbitrary and capricious law simply because it comes from an authority figure.

5. A willingness to stray outside of their national cuisines. If you go to Florence, 98% of the restaurants serve the same 6 dishes…. To an urban American (who can get 10 cuisines in any square mile) this is tragically closed minded.

@MosabHasanYOSEF "Never bring a businessman’s mindset to a holy war" should be written on our money.

[Mosab Hassan Yousef @MosabHasanYOSEF]

Trump is in a tough spot, but he’s making a humiliating mistake.

He underestimated the ideological depth of the Iranian regime and entered the fight with the wrong tools. He brought a businessman’s mindset to a holy war.

After hitting multiple walls, he’s now doing something dangerous: negotiating with the IRGC, a terrorist organization he once promised to crush, while they are actively attacking international shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

This is not clever realpolitik.
This is negotiating from a position of weakness, under fire, and it crosses every red line he once drew.

Short-term relief at the cost of long-term strength is not a deal. It’s a surrender in slow motion.

[Noah Glick @nsglock23]

Your thesis is that the Mexican government is too harsh on the cartels? and if they were only more like her character (soft, understanding, idealistic, moralistic) that somehow Sinaloa et al would stop killing innocent people?

Take a quick look at El Salvador's crime rate over the past few years

The Europeans traveling for the world cup might be having a conspicuously good time in the US. But by and large, they still don't "get it."

Yes, it's big and beautiful and food portions are absurd. But that's not what we are. That's not why they should love this place.

They don't understand that-- if they take an airplane-- they owe a debt of gratitude to the Wright brothers, and the spirit of dangerous invention that only America now fosters.

They don't understand that-- if they call home-- they owe a debt of gratitude to Alexander Graham Bell, and the fact that American telephone companies didn't have to navigate the EU bureaucracy to jumpstart the era of mass communication.

They don't understand that-- if they use Google maps, Uber and ChatGPT-- they owe a debt of gratitude to Silicon Valley, and it's unofficial motto: move fast and break things.

No statement could be less European in 2026.

"move slow and make sure you don't insult anyone" is what should be written on the EU flag, and it's why that continent is experiencing such tragic stagnation.

The revelrous Scottish might think it's the beer and the good cheer of Boston they are responding to, but that is just surface-level.

What the Scottish are seeing (even if we are in a moment of crises and decline) is the fact that this nation still has something they don't see back home: real freedom, and the balls to dream big.

Math behind why is pretty simple.

“Aging” is really just mistakes your body makes replicating cells.

This gets ugly in a hurry when you realize that (essentially) “unhealthy” cells don’t become healthy, only the opposite occurs.

So, If the mistake-rate is 1% per year, then after 68.9 years you will have more “unhealthy” cells than healthy ones. (This is a massive simplification but you get the point).

To have a living 160 year old would mean a person with only 2% healthy cells

@ScouTurk @grok is DNA testing for ancestry legal in Turkey?

[Noah Glick @nsglock23]

Before the 1950's you essentially had to earn 30+% body fat. Eating your way to glory when the local grocery store only had peaches and fresh fish, not Twinkies and Doritos.

Also society made zero effort to cater to fat people back then: No escalators, fewer elevators, tiny car seats, mandatory fitness tests at schools. There were real consequences to being obese and some chose that life anyway.

Those kinds of people are vastly more interesting than what we have today-- folks who just lack impulse control and have slower metabolisms.

[Noah Glick @nsglock23]

Female educational attainment correlates at .65 - which is very high and obviously a major factor, but not a foregone conclusion like .9

Look at the bump from 1940-1960.

Look up Israeli birth rates.

We hate to think of our "individual" decisions this way, but we are communal creatures. Give us a coherent, unified, homogenous community with a vision for the future and we reproduce whether the women are educated or not.

Take those things away and cultural death is certain. Whether it's through Visigoths, fertility rates, or both is irrelevant.

"Looksmaxxing is insane. But it must also be understood as the first proactive male response to the failed ideas of feminism.

“Oh you’re going to be a hussy for all of your 20’s, leaving normal men by the side of the road? Well then I’m going to go to extreme lengths to be the kind of guy who can make any woman a lineup-statistic.”

It’s horrible. But it’s what feminism has wrought."
