The Nowak case clearly highlights that we need to stop treating racism as an ~infinite evil, not because Nowak was racist (no evidence of this) but because any time you create a social superweapon like accusations of racism are now, it’ll be misused horribly.
What is racism? Ask 10 people and you’ll get 12 opinions. Historically, it meant someone who treats people badly in interpersonal interactions because of their race. Which is just, like, kinda annoying and slightly boorish. It’s not the apocalypse. There are many personal traits that are equally or more annoying.
Now the definition has been ludicrously expanded to include a bunch of things even less objectionable than that, including belief in very plausible scientific claims and policy preferences that were near-universal for almost all of human history.
Racism just isn’t a big deal. We have to take it off its pedestal. If Nowak had said something racist, it would morally change exactly nothing about the horror of what happened to him. He didn’t, but I feel over-focusing on that distracts from the fact that it wouldn’t matter if he had.
Murder is worse than racism. Hell, shoplifting is worse than racism. Enough. Who cares.
The only thing that stops violent men from raping you and your society are other men who are equally willing to be violent in stopping the rapists. The West has decided that the highest virtue is to quietly comply with the destruction of your civilization because to do otherwise is bigoted toward the rapists. It really is that simple.
@HeathHowardNH I hate that this is the kind of person I’m going to have to vote for in federal races, but this is what the Massie fiasco has brought me to. At least when it finally crashes it will be on their watch.

THOMAS MASSIE’S OPPONENT: “In 1973 we moved away from conscription selected service to an all volunteer force. It’s been challenging since then. We’re running out of time and need to implement selective service now.”
Massie’s opponent wants to reinstate the draft.
Speaker: “For what purpose does the gentleman seek recognition?”
“Mr. Speaker, I came here to make sure our republic doesn’t die by unanimous consent in an empty chamber, and I request a recorded vote.”

Never forget.
Thomas Massie has supported me -- and stuck with me -- from the very beginning.
I will NOT turn my back on him.
If that offends you, change your tampon!!!
Here is the question that ends the UBI discussion.
So if AI/robotics are going to create such abundance that people don't need to work and everything will be essentially free, then why do we even need UBI?
Why can't people privately own and use these tools, as they already do now and control access to this limitless abundance themselves? Why does the government need to be in charge of distributing resources if they are cheaper, and more easily available than ever?
This would be like arguing at the beginning of mechanised farming, that because one machine can do the work of 50 men that we need government to control the food stocks and distribute them because we don't all need to be farmers.
The last thing cheaper more easily accessible resources demands in government control. UBI is the oligarchs last attempt to control access to technology that has the potential to free billions from their evil clutches.
Pete Hegseth recites fake Bible verse (Cesar 25:17???) that derives from PULP FICTION - not Scripture and asks people to pray it!
Hegseth says the war with Iran is God’s will and is under Protestsnt (anti-Catholic) Pastor Doug Wilson. This is poisonous theology - reaching to Paula White levels.
The 10 steps of becoming a Bitcoiner:
1. Buy $200 worth because “it might be a good hedge.”
2. Watch it go up 11%, immediately develop a messiah complex, and start calculating what your portfolio will be worth when Bitcoin hits $13 million by Christmas.
3. Watch it drop 22% in two days, stare at the wall in total silence, and tell yourself you’re “thinking in four-year time horizons” while your stomach is falling through your ass.
4. Start pirating Austrian economics PDFs to read while you eat your Scooby Doo Kraft Mac & Cheese.
5. Begin saying phrases like “sound money,” “Cantillon effects,” and “monetary premium” to people who were simply trying to enjoy a burger in peace.
You are totally not autistic AT ALL by this point.
6. Realize every purchase now has a shadow price in sats. That burrito isn’t $14. That’s 11,000 sats, you absolute animal.
7. Develop a completely normal habit of checking the Bitcoin price at 3:17 AM with one eye open like a divorced Civil War general waiting for updates from the front.
8. Become physically incapable of hearing the phrase “diversified portfolio” without smirking like a schizophrenic medieval peasant who buried the king’s gold under his floorboards.
9. Lose the ability to talk to normies entirely because they’re excited about a 4.3% savings account while you’re internally screaming that the money is made of theatrical fog and central bank dementia.
10. Arrive at the final form: calm, dead-eyed, spiritually detached from the matrix, and weirdly comfortable knowing that everyone will call you insane right up until the exact moment they call you lucky.
That’s the Bitcoiner journey.
