It’s pretty to think so, isn’t it?

“We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. We have room for but one sole loyalty, and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

@xtblux Always nonsense when the dude who plays the notes he’s told to play thinks he matters as much as the guy who creates them.

Do you use Apple products? Google? Drive cars? Drink beer? Shop anywhere? Watch tv or film? Listen to music? Read books? Watch news? Travel? Vote?

You dumbass, the entire world is fake and gay, how do you not recognize this? They won a long time ago and that is the world.

Live in it or die, but complaining about gay niches is even gayer than the gay slop you’re engulfed in.

Good lesson; poor conclusion.

[Auron MacIntyre @AuronMacintyre]

The lesson of Trump’s first election was that the GOP was controlled opposition that would do anything to stop a real right wing from emerging

They hated Trump, did what they could to stop his election, and then sabotaged him in office

The lesson of Trump’s first term was that winning an election and being in charge were not the same thing

Trump was constantly undermined by his own executive branch and lied to by his generals

The GOP and many agencies needed to be entirely demolished and remade

After Butler and the incredible surge in Trump support it became clear that every Republican had to profess total loyalty to the president even if they still hated him

Many Trump supports mistakenly believing that this meant that things had changed and the GOP was now loyal to Trump, you could trust it’s processes and goals in a way you couldn’t before

This is wrong, and you can tell easily because congress refuses to pass even the most basic aspects of the Trump agenda like the SAVE Act

They parrot loyalty to Trump in their campaign ads, but when it comes time to vote GOP senators and congressmen play the same controlled opposition role, outside of a Brandon Gill or a Eric Schmitt, not much has changed

The same mistake was made with the government itself

Many people saw Trump replace agency heads with loyalists who had no allegiance to the deepstate in those agencies and assumed that meant Trump was really in control of the executive this time, that we could trust the government works the way we were told again

This just isn’t true

Large percentages, if not the majority, of agencies like the FBI, CIA, and DOJ are still anti-Trump and are looking to sabotage him at every turn

Trump was still smart to make those appointments and grow a force like ICE which is loyal to him, but it wasn’t enough

Do not transfer your loyalty to Trump to these institutions, they are still corrupt, still the enemy, you don’t control them and you don’t owe them anything

We still have to conquer the GOP and dismantle and replace much of the executive branch, the mission remains the same

I read this book based on similar expressed sentiment; biggest nonsensical waste of time in my life. I reject whole cloth this trope.

Most people won’t believe you even with crystal clear evidence. Just think of how the right desperately waits for the left to admit anything that is perfectly clear to its own eyes.

The problem is not a surface one; it is at the genetic level. It is a human nature one.

And we are pinned at the one yard line, down 8, with 10 seconds left, no timeouts, on 4th and 25 (I know how you love football). Any possible ‘solution’ must eschew Hail-Marys (the military will save us; no, they thought of that) and flea flickers (asymmetric warfare; no, people will not risk their ‘stuff’ and screen numbers); it can only come from truth and virtue and passion and resilience and determination and…a miracle.

Because the Boomer Holy War, otherwise known as the Second World War, is the creation myth, the biblical Genesis, of the political world order we inhabit. History begins in 1945, Year Zero, when the Allied and Axis powers, the cosmic forces of absolute Good and Evil, clashed for dominion over the world.

What we call “Western Values” are the liberal American values of the postwar order: unregulated global capitalism, liberal democracy, individualism, civil rights, and equality. Three generations of men have been indoctrinated into this cult, which is ultimately a secularized heresy of Aristotelian humanist Christianity, repackaged as a universal moral doctrine.

Hitler has assumed the role of Satan, while some grotesque amalgamation of Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King Jr. occupies the throne of Jesus Christ. The Nazis are the defeated legions of Hell, and the Holocaust is the ultimate revelation of Evil against which all subsequent political and moral questions must be judged.

You’re not allowed to have nice things like community, traditional families, immigration restrictions, or any meaningful sense of national, ethnic, racial, or religious identity as a White person because any deviation from the sacred doctrines of the postwar consensus threatens to bring about Holocaust 2. To believe in any of these is to practice heresy. Racism is the ultimate heresy, and White guilt is origin sin, without a path to atonement.

The further removed each generation becomes from 1945, the weaker its attachment to this haphazard, pseudo religious worldview grows. In 13 years, an entire century will have passed since the outbreak of the Second World War.

The moralizing about the Holocaust, the obsessive fixation on stopping identity politics among native Westerners, the relentless insistence on feminism, diversity, and the ideological apparatus of the postwar order will resemble the exhausted dogmas of a dying secular religion whose founding revelation has lost its power over the living.

This is obvious as the materialistic promise of infinite growth and wealth has failed, and mass immigration, diversity and the third world are an existential threat to westerners who have no socioeconomic opportunities and a poor shot at family for formation.

@GameOverStation The old sales ‘story’:

okay, you don’t like cold calls? If you get 100 ‘no’ calls in a row, you never have to make another cold call.

Call 42: yes (damn!); call 72: yes (damn!); call 16: yes (damn!); etc., etc.

I guess I’ll keep calling.
