In America, a stranger will rename you in a single breath, and you are simply expected to come when called.

I went to eat at a busy restaurant. A young man at the front asked for my name, to mark my place in line. I gave it the weight it has carried for eight hundred years.

"Nobunaga."

He smiled, nodded, and wrote it down with great confidence. Then he read it back to me, to be sure he had honored it correctly.

"Perfect. Banana, party of one."

Banana. He had heard my name, held it a moment, and returned to me something rounder and more cheerful. To refuse the name a host gives is to refuse his welcome. I bowed. I was Banana now.

Then he handed me a small black disc, said it would "light up and buzz" when my table was ready, and turned to the next guest as though he had not just placed a living thing in my hands.

I held it in both palms, the way one holds a small sleeping beast that may wake. I found a place to stand. I waited, ready.

It woke.

It screamed. It flashed red. It leapt and shook in my hands like a captured spirit demanding release. A lesser man would have dropped it. I did not. I gripped it, steady, looked into its blinking lights, and told it, in a low voice, that its time had come. Then I carried it back to the host with both hands, the way one returns a hawk to its master.

He took it without looking and shouted across the entire room.

"BANANA! Party of one, your table's ready!"

A hundred strangers turned. I rose. I crossed that floor as Banana, spine straight, chin level, a man answering to his name. A child pointed at me. I gave the child a small bow. He had recognized me.

All through the meal they kept me. "How's it tasting, Banana?" "More water, Banana?" The check, when it came, said Banana, and thanked me for visiting. By the end the whole staff knew me. They waved as I left. "Night, Banana!"

So tell me honestly.

For eight hundred years my clan answered to one name. Tonight I answered to a fruit, calmed a screaming relic in my bare hands, and ate among people who were glad I came.

When the little disc lights up, is the table truly mine, or am I only keeping it warm for the next Banana?

Because I have already decided to return on Friday, and to ask, very humbly, for the same disc.

It's not that hard. The left lets institutions and communities break down to a point of total degradation to prove why more government and non profits are the answer. The goal is to purposely not solve problems and make life and safety worse. See the entire defund the police movement and homelessness nonprofits in California. Gavin Newson promised to end homelessness and instead it ballooned on purpose.

This is why there was such enormous flip out over Trump renovating the reflecting pool or spencer Pratt's campaign.

Once people realize that things can be improved a lot of nonprofits and public union/money dries up.

There is a reason why cities like Chicago Los Angeles Portland Seattle and now Denver all look the same because they are all run by the same people running the exact same scam.

Mostly the concern I see on the political right over AI is cultural because there's nothing more that the political left and the Democratic Party wants them to get their claws into AI.

Because once an AI is programmed to tell people that boys can become girls it's the death of truth. Data centers being built isn't the problem, the data in those data centers is.

[Kevin Bass @kevinnbass]

Henry Nowak's murder was not the beginning.

The beginning was countless whites professionally purged by UK's woke regime.

It is not the end.

The end is fenced communities of whites surrounded by a non-white UK.

Then, pogroms.

The end is open genocide against UK's whites.

[Andrew Kolvet @AndrewKolvet]

So let’s me get this straight…

California, the home of hospice fraud, SNAP fraud, immigration fraud, and homelessness NGO fraud…

Is also a state with ZERO voter fraud.

Everything is fine. Nothing to see here, folks.

[Kevin Bass @kevinnbass]

Democrats excluding normal white men is not a problem, it's a feature of the Democrats' war on the good

It is not a mystery, and it is not a puzzle

Cucks, freaks, and predators are the only white men that remain Democrats because that's the beating heart of Democrat ideology

[Joel Pollak @joelpollak]

If Raman takes second and Pratt does not qualify for the general election, after days upon days of thinking he would, it will be the political equivalent of watching the Palisades burn again. If you can’t hold leaders accountable for their failures, then democracy does not exist.

[Urban Analytic Nonsense @AnalyticBS4U]

Readdressing the Karmelo-Austin case, since the trial is reigniting horrible responses from black folks again.

The original post will be in the comments:

“Black people:

What is your end goal here? I've been watching the back and forth on Austin Metcalf, and the responses from some of you serve nothing but ego.

Being as anti-white and uncharitable as you can to whites doesn't make you "pro-black."

Let's be real: Whites (not all, but small specific groups of them) have created the best societies, some of the most sought-after places in the world—this is not my opinion — just look at immigration patterns. People die to get to the White Western world. Civilization isn't random; it is connected to a set of values, behaviors, and disciplines. Black folks in closest proximity to whites, in either residence or direct influence, have some of the highest standards of living and earning potentials out of all the black people in the world.

Surely, stating these facts will be considered tap-dancing or some such nonsense, but we have to be real.

If you want to separate, be tactical. Learn what makes successful societies thrive and fail. Extract those positive principles and mindsets, then implement them into your community while retaining the ethnic flavor of your people. This is how you leverage human capital to your benefit (knowledge is power, remember). Asians did it. Successful Black people during the 30s and 40s had no problem doing it. Black commerce thrived in many urban centers at a time when we lacked widespread formal education and political leverage because they didn't close themselves off from learning from their "enemies."

Austin Metcalf's murder is particularly salient because almost everyone, regardless of race, has encountered a black person carrying out an antisocial act – cutting in line, mouthing off, blasting music on the subway, etc. – which is accompanied by the implicit threat of violence.

In this case, Karmelo Anthony took Austin Metcalf's seat. Karmelo provoked Austin knowing that he was armed – that if Austin objected, he would just stab him. And that's exactly what happened.

Most people don't want to share a society with people who routinely violate public norms and are prepared to murder anyone who objects. It is a mentality entirely alien to well-to-do people. It isn't a sign of masculinity or being a "bad ass" – trained fighters, elite soldiers, etc. don't act that way in public.

It obviously isn't all black people who behave this way. But of those who do, most are black. I remember seeing a clip of some lowlife black dude threatening to stab a hipster looking black guy on a train for asking him to turn his music down, so it isn't as if you have to be white to object to this sort of antisocial behavior. But that said, the pattern is unignorable, and you rarely see whites, Asians, or Jews acting like this.

[Jason Whitlock @jasonwhitlock]

BINGO. There is no black unity. There is anti-white unity among a large swath of black Americans.

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

The single greatest mistake that liberals make is believing that politics exists because people haven’t yet learned how to be reasonable with one another.

“If only we had more guaranteed rights, more minority protections, more education, more electoral and judicial reforms, more resources and a fairer allocation of them, or the right people in charge, we can all learn to get along!”

This is a noble delusion, but a delusion nonetheless.

Politics exists because human groups disagree about ultimate things, not just processes and procedures. They don’t fight about taxes or education, but rather what those taxes should be for and what should be taught.

They will argue over what’s sacred in life and what’s profane. They’ll fight over who belongs or who should be shunned. They’ll struggle over what to tolerate or cancel, and ultimately, what kind of person society should cultivate.

The liberal, of both the Left and Right alike, will argue that we can all live together under neutral rules. But there are no neutral rules.

Every legal order presupposes a prior decision that someone or a group of people have made about what kind of society the law is meant to protect.

Rights do not enforce themselves. Courts do not make themselves legitimate. Constitutions do not interpret themselves. Elections only work when the losing side still believes that they belongs to the same political community as the side that won.

Progressives and Conservatives alike think they are merely protecting rights. But the fact that they hate each other so much proves the point here.

Eventually, someone has to decide which rights exist and which ones don’t, what legal claims on the state are valid and which ones are frivolous, what kind of speech and religious practices are protected by law and which are too dangerous or incompatible with society to be allowed, what kinds of associations are permitted and which ones will be declared illegal, which borders are closed and which ones get opened, and whose worldview will be promoted and at whose expense.

There is no metaphysics that permits everything, everywhere, at all times. The Open Society is a myth. At some point, a line will get drawn and a side will be picked.

And when that decision is made, the veil of universal neutrality gets torn to shreds.

Progressives can tweet all day long about how they are fighting for more diversity, tolerance, and inclusion, but inclusion into what? Every act of “inclusion” presupposes an exclusion.

To include the 70 IQ third world illegal alien, the trooned out Marxist, the homeless drug addict overdosing on fentanyl in broad daylight, the knife-wielding mentally ill criminal on public transit with a dozen prior arrests, and the army of agitators and activists who seek to loot the public treasury because they claim to be oppressed, you must inevitably exclude those who reject the moral worldview these people adhere to or the social order they want to build.

Rather than just being honest with themselves and simply saying “These people are our enemies because they threaten our people”, Progressives continue to claim they’re fighting for universal ideals. They will never concede that someone could ever have a valid reason NOT to be a Progressive.

They’ll instead insist that their enemies are just a bunch of evil social pathologies that have to be eradicated. Their foes are morally illegitimate, unenlightened, backward, hateful, bigoted, extremists, Fascists, and Nazis.

And they are just “decent fucking human beings”.

Progressives claim to be fighting for diversity, tolerance, inclusion, and multiculturalism, but they define that “multiculturalism” as the eradication of every culture that rejects Progressivism.

They’re fighting for a utopia that will never exist, and every attempt to bring it about just divides people even more.

The ethnicity most likely to be on welfare in each country.

USA: Somalia #1
Denmark: Somalia #1
Netherlands: Somalia #1
Norway: Somalia #1
Finland: Somalia #1
Sweden: Somalia #1

Somalis are most likely to be on welfare and are responsible for the highest crime rates per captia.

[PhreakyDev 🇺🇸 -- oss/acc // priv/acc @phreakydev]

I distinctly remember being in a space where I was telling black people about the Karmelo Anthony story, how devastating it was to hear how Austin Metcalf died, how sickening it was that Karmelo got rich from it, and how digusting it was that Black people supported him.

How we needed to do and be better as black people. What was the bottom of the moral abyss for us as a collective? I was prepared to have an earnest, genuine conversation. And I thought everyone, because these were seemingly reasonable and educated Black people, would understand that getting murdered in front of your twin brother just because you told someone a seat was taken is horrible. That Karmelo clearly chimped out and was in the wrong and deserved to be under the jail.

And in the most calm, articulate, negrosplaning voice, one argued that we "didn't know the full story". To which I said, in what circumstance is it ok to stab an unarmed person to death after a conversation about a seat? What could have possibly happened to justify that?

And all I got was "what if he was racist?" "what if he called him a nigger?" "what if he was mentally ill?"

That's when I finally let go and accepted that at least 95% of black people need to sent to Liberia. "My people" cannot be saved if they refuse to be righteous.

If they're not niggers, they're defending niggers, if they're not defending niggers, they're pretending niggers aren't that big of a problem, if they're not pretending niggers aren't that big of a problem, then they're pretending niggers don't exist at all.

I'm fucking done. Karmelo Anthony needs to be given the death penalty and I don't care who cries about it and how many gas stations are burned down.
