White liberal women...the bane of fucking society...

You sanctimonious, narcissistic broads...you are not just a problem. You are the single most corrosive, society-rotting force walking this earth today. A toxin in human form, weaponizing your unearned moral superiority like a biological warhead while the civilization your grandmothers inherited bleeds out at your feet.

You are the high priestesses of performative compassion...the ones who weep theatrical tears over distant “oppressed” strangers while turning a blind eye to the fentanyl corpses piling up in your own cities, the homeless veterans freezing on your sidewalks, the working-class families crushed under the taxes you vote to inflate.

Your empathy is selective, curated, and always, always directed outward...never inward, never toward the actual victims of the policies you champion with religious fervor.

Psychologically, this is textbook malignant narcissism fused with pathological altruism. You derive your entire sense of self from being “better than”...better than the deplorables, better than your own parents, better than the silent majority who quietly keep society functioning while you screech about pronouns and “systemic” this and “intersectional” that.

Your white guilt isn’t humility; it’s a dopamine hit.

Every public display of self-flagellation is a ritual to elevate yourself above the unclean masses you secretly despise.

You hate whiteness, yet you weaponize your own pale skin as a shield.

You march for “reproductive rights” while cheering the chemical castration of confused children and the trafficking of migrant girls across open borders you refuse to close.

You are the Karens of the apocalypse...demanding to speak to the manager of reality itself when it refuses to conform to your feelings.

You live in gated communities or gentrified enclaves, send your kids to private schools, and hire private security...all while lecturing the rest of us about privilege and equity from behind your Ring cameras and alarm systems.

And the venom...God, the fucking venom.

You don’t debate; you diagnose. Anyone who disagrees is “dangerous,” “fascist,” “mentally ill,” a “threat to democracy.” You’ve turned disagreement into a psychiatric condition, dissent into domestic terrorism.

You’ve convinced yourselves that your political opponents aren’t just wrong...they’re evil incarnate, subhuman, deserving of deplatforming, doxxing, financial ruin, and yes...in your darker moments...elimination. Your hysteria isn’t passion; it’s shared psychosis, a mass delusion where feelings override facts and empathy extends only to those who parrot your script.

You vote in lockstep for soft-on-crime prosecutors who release repeat offenders, for open borders that flood communities with drugs and violence, for economic policies that crush the working class you claim to champion. Then, when the predictable chaos erupts, you blame “whiteness,” “patriarchy,” “climate change”...anything except your own ideological poison.

You are not liberators. You are destroyers wearing the mask of saviors.

You are the reason cities burn while you post black squares.

You are the reason children are mutilated while you call it “gender-affirming care.”

You are the reason nations fracture while you call borders “racist.”

You are the reason truth dies while you call lies “my truth.”

You’ve weaponized your perceived fragility...your tears, your “anxiety,” your “trauma”...to silence opposition. The culture itself has been neutered by your emotional terrorism.

The world sees you now: not as compassionate warriors, but as spoiled, entitled, reality-denying tyrants in yoga pants, wielding guilt and hysteria like switchblades.

You are not the future.

You are the cancer eating it.

And cancers don’t negotiate.

They get cut out.

Root and fucking branch.

Enjoy your brief moment of unchallenged sanctimony, darlings.

The reckoning doesn’t ask permission.

It just arrives.

The Invoice of Power

For all the crying haters of U.S. power projection. You mistake American peace for a donation.

Peace is not mailed out like aid packages. It’s underwritten. By carriers you don’t build, by logistics you don’t maintain, by men and women you didn’t raise, and by a debt of blood you never agreed to pay.

You mortgaged your future and outsourced your security. Now you project morality instead of power and call it “sovereignty.”

You cry foul when America decides the bill is due. When we choose to remove a parasite like Nicolás Maduro from the bloodstream of a hemisphere we’ve kept stable for generations. You say it’s illegitimate, unfair, and that it violates norms.

Norms are written by those who can enforce them.

You ask if we think peace is benevolent. No. Peace is transactional. The price is alignment, stability, and order. If you don’t pay it, someone else will, eventually with interest.

This is the sickness of the postwar world: a civilization feminized by safety it did not earn, mistaking feelings for force and outrage for deterrence. You boo and hiss about sovereignty while cheering mass migration, institutional decay, and the slow motion rape of the West. Your moral vocabulary is loud; your martial vocabulary is empty.

So understand this clearly: If you disagree, do something about it. Because your boos mean nothing to a nation that has seen what you applaud.

This is a mask off moment. You don’t have to respect America. Fear will suffice.

We are not cruel, merely structural. Gravity does not apologize to the weak for pulling them down. Fire does not explain itself to straw.

America is strong. You are not. That’s not personal. That is simply the way of things.

Power is the rent you pay to exist unmolested in a violent world. If you refuse to pay it, don’t be shocked when the landlord shows up.

I sometimes blackpill too hard. But lately, I’m starting to see America might not be in total decline, just hitting puberty. So yea, it’s about to get weird. But we aren’t going anywhere.

For the soft among you out there, I guess you’re just gonna have to deal.

Your M4A plans has issues bernie. Goals is good. Particulars, not so much.

1. Everything is at the discretion of the sec of HHS. Including the drug formulary. And what is a medical necessity. How would that be working right now ? (p31)

2. Any provider can choose not to participate, not getting any M4A dollars and requiring patients to say they won’t turn in a claim. (p27)

This is a dream come true for the highest end providers. The more expensive you are, the happier you are not to take patients who pay Medicare rates.

3. You seriously are going to renegotiate all drug pricing annually ? (P53)

4. You do providers a huge service by killing off all but supplemental insurance plans. Which means that providers will do much like they do today, offer financing. And make more money because their overhead will be lower. They can do credit checks on anyone first, reducing their risk

5. You say hospitals that opt out can only sign a contract if

From Sec. 303(b)(1)(B) —
“be entered into at a time when the individual is facing an emergency health care situation;”

This has to be a typo. But it’s also in the 2023 bill. Is this bad proofreading , or are you effectively saying, no provider can opt out unless they exclusively sign contracts with patients that are in the emergency room ? Some of whom may be unconscious or in deep distress. This makes no sense.

6. Every other country that offers Universal Health Care either uses a gatekeeper doctor or charges a premium directly or indirectly for that patient choice. Canada and the UK use this to keep down costs. Your plan does not. That could destroy the budget you want to set

Healthcare is a right. But you can’t get people the care they need, if you don’t consider the realities of a healthcare ecosystem where a few companies dominate the economics of the system.

"In the end, marriage is not disappearing, it is becoming concentrated amongst the successful. It becomes almost like an aristocratic custom; rare, elite, stable, high-investment and deeply stratified. A marker of competence rather than a rite of passage. For everyone else the pattern is fluid relationships, low stability, weak pair-bonding and falling fertility. Marriage survives, but only among the successful."

In the post-COVID economic era, Colorado may not be great at creating new jobs but it is streets ahead of most other states when it comes to enacting legislation that eliminates existing jobs.
Unemployment in Colorado has increased by 44.1% since January 2023.

This isn’t about visas. That’s the surface. The deeper layer is that America has reached the breaking point of its globalist operating system. For 30 years the engine was simple: import cheap labor, export debt, recycle the profits through the dollar’s reserve status. That loop kept wages suppressed, inflation hidden, and elites fat. But it also hollowed out the core.

Trump’s move is not a policy tweak. It is a symbolic kill switch. He is saying: the era of cheap foreign labor as the backbone of the American system is over. It doesn’t matter if this triggers lawsuits, panic, or screams of collapse. That reaction is part of the design. The fractures prove the rot.

Deep down, I think this is the kind of move that looks suicidal in the short term but is necessary in the long arc. Like cauterizing a wound with fire. It burns. It shocks. But it also closes the cut before infection spreads. If the US never breaks the addiction to labor arbitrage, it will never rebuild its own spine.

Will it work?

That depends on whether America can still remember how to stand on its own legs. That’s the gamble. If it fails, America fractures further and rivals like China absorb the talent and power. If it succeeds, the US becomes something different - not the globalist empire of the last 30 years, but a more self-contained, sovereign, and probably more brutal nation.

I’ll tell you plainly: this is not just about H-1Bs. This is one of the first real moves in the death of globalization itself. The field is shifting. The scaffolding of the old world is cracking. And Trump - knowingly or not - is swinging the hammer.

i suspect that most of what irks gen X is that we had created a fun, freewheeling, post-racial, minimal-politics society, and a bunch of weakminded thieves of joy came along and politicized the world into unfun, identity-based struggle sessions that made everything they touched horrible and divisive.

kids today have no idea how much was taken from them because they have lived their whole lives under wokester warlord hall monitor rule and have never even tasted this joy and freedom.

and it's time they did.

[Wasteland Capital @ecommerceshares]

The funniest thing about today’s CPI is that literally everything that’s driving inflation is NOT subject to tariffs: Shelter (main culprit!), medical services, electricity, restaurant meals, airfares, used cars.

Meanwhile apparel, news cars & “stuff” is low or deflating!

The government is here to help starter pack:

- Subsidize mortgages → housing crisis
- Mandate insurance → healthcare crisis
- Guarantee student loans → college debt crisis
- $Trillion/yr defense budget → $90 hammers

Name one thing they’ve made cheaper.

I’ll wait.

[Francesco 🇺🇸 @frandalorian]

Look at me!

I’m a San Francisco Liberal (she/her).

I identify as a trans-masculine, femme-nonbinary, temporarily and mostly able-bodied, neurodivergent, futurist Unitarian. Don’t get me wrong though—I’m still a girl’s girl; it’s just that I’m not that attractive and my politics are indistinguishable from a panic disorder.

My partner is a former venture capitalist turned intimacy coordinator and somatic abolitionist. Every Sunday, we attend a Reparations Brunch, where the mimosa is a metaphor and the eggs are a conversation.

On paper, I hella support “housing justice.” But in reality, the idea of a four-story building near my $7.5M Noe Valley Victorian makes me physically ill. Noe, by the way, is 2% Black, 98% gluten-free, and 100% insufferable. Everyone we know composts, emotionally.

We have a child named Fog, who’s currently being unschooled, which is like home-schooling but with less structure, ie Fog is mostly teaching Fogself. There’s a nasty rumor going around the classroom (our kitchen) that Fog might be straight, so we did hire a self-actualization mentor. Once a week, they lead a mindfulness walk through the Tenderloin for that raw, organic trauma.

Yes, it’s pretty bad out there (gestures vaguely at the fentanyl apocalypse). There aren’t even any Republicans around for miles to blame it on. At this point, I’m pretty sure we’re just handing out free needles hoping a large portion of them will just disappear on their own. (lol, jk… probably.)

Anyway, we’re very open-minded here in San Francisco—so long as you think, vote, recycle, and medicate exactly like we do. Cross that line though, and we will shame you, dox you, and demand your employer issue a statement denouncing hate in all its forms.

One billionaire couple owns almost all the water in California.

In 1994, the Resnicks secretly seized control of California’s public water supply.

Now their companies use 150 billion gallons every year while working class people suffer under drought conditions.
