Your PhD doesn't need to come with a flag, but this relentlessly negative one-note version of American history was headache-inducing ten years ago - every school seems to be teaching nothing but Howard Zinn and bell hooks. Even the occasional different idea would be nice

Britain reforming Canadian governance in the late 18th Century was in direct response to the American Revolution.

[Michael Shurkin @MichaelShurkin]

Is this a good time to point out that Canada is proof the American Revolution was unnecessary?

@mtaibbi I don't think its ever really gone away. The Newsroom clip etc.

America is the greatest country on earth, and no, it doesn’t need an asterisk to caveat all the problems we have, past or present. It’s just a true statement as is. If you disagree with this, then you are just a jaded contrarian faggot. But that’s okay, because I have good news: You can use America’s 250th birthday as the perfect opportunity to stop, even if it’s just for today.

Go spend time with your family. See your friends. Grill something. Set off fireworks. I know this is an extremely hot rightwing take in 2026, but: The Country Is Not Actually Over. No, not every street corner is filled with unhoused Haitian migrants who are cooking dog meat over a shopping cart in the trunk of your stolen Kia. Yes, of course that exact thing is happening somewhere in the U.S. right now, but overall America is still really cool and good, if you’re not ideologically committed to ignoring it. You don’t have to pretend everything is fine, but you also do not have to log on here and act like a blackpilled panican slave (no offense to half of my mutuals). I know you don’t want to hear this, but things right now are actually better for us than they’ve ever been in our lifetime.

I’m sorry you had to find out this way, but your retarded dramatic doomerpost about how EVERYTHING FREAKIN' SUCKS!!! isn’t redpilled political insight. Believe it or not, saying "My Children No Longer Have A Country” on Twitter doesn’t actually fix anything. It simply trains you and your audience to believe that defeat is inevitable, and, more importantly, just makes you sound like a totally impotent cuck who is giving people permission to surrender. The truth is that our problems will likely take decades to solve, and if your only contribution is going to be sitting online and declaring everything is hopeless, then you might as well just kill yourself now, because you let yourself become another demoralized victim of the algorithm that has mindraped you to death with despair-porn from [Account Based In South Asia].

What makes it worse is that you think you are immune to manipulation because you don’t consume (((Mainstream Media))), but your worldview is being shaped just as aggressively by third-world engagement farmers and low-IQ conspiratards. Unfortunately, you stand no chance against the forces guiding your worldview because the real problem is personality type: emotionally reactive, addicted to grievance, and unable to navigate the modern information environment. The ideology is almost secondary. If 3 years ago the For You Page started feeding you progressive woketard content, you would be scheduling your bottom-surgery right now instead of posting about how all the digits in Erika Kirk’s license plate add up to 666 or whatever.

Because of this, you have become indistinguishable from every dark woke anti-American irony leftist who has usernames like Marx Wahlberg. You are not more based than a normie Republican Trumptard because all of the positions you diverge from the MAGA base on is something every transsexual prison-abolitionist DSA candidate already believes in. No, America isn’t a vassal state of Israel being run by Rabbi ZOGnald Drumpf. No, we aren’t The Great Satan arresting people for free speech at the Epstein Empire State Building. And no, the country isn’t over. If your phone didn’t have an internet connection, you would never have thought of any of these things.

So, I am begging you to just be normal today, and appreciate what a blessing it is to be an American. God has providentially given this land to us. It is good that this country exists. It is good that generations before us built, fought for, and preserved something worth inheriting. Don’t spend today trying to prove that you are the one person brave enough to hate the 4th of July, and how that makes you the Real True Patriot in the room, because we all think it’s embarrassing and we talk about how gay you sound in private group chats.

America is not beyond saving, and it’s not reducible to whatever hysterical version of reality gets pumped into your feed every day by ragebait slop accounts. Instead of making some performative post about how you can’t celebrate the United States Semiquincentennial because we’re a homosexual brown hellscape, you should go outside and look around. There is beauty everywhere and there are people worth knowing. Our land is still here, our people are still here, and we will have our home again, with or without your help because, like I said, you are just kind of a huge worthless faggot.

I'm going to post more about flock cameras because I think a lot of people are just seeing things incorrectly.

First of all, the tech is effective. They're used to solve retail theft, armed robbery, car theft, and murders. Thousands of arrests, criminals taken off the streets. They're one of the best new tools for law enforcement and that's why the criminal left absolutely hates them.

I'm pretty much 100% in favor of any tech that helps local govt. and private business owners secure themselves. Demand for tech like this is mostly a local phenomena. When you want to ban or damage tech like this, you're basically telling private business owners they can't use the latest tools to secure their property.

Surveillance tech is awesome and it's being used every day by people to protect themselves.

Lots of people freak out about surveillance but I think that's a moot point. If you carry a cell phone (whose location can be subpoenaed) you've already chosen to live inside the digital panopticon. So while I recognize that historic America didn't have surveillance tech, I think that ship has sailed. I think the outrage over this tech specifically is dumb and kind of performative, and basically it's a left wing meme. There will absolutely be surveillance, and the only question is whether it's your friends or enemies who will be doing the surveillance. It's better to be pro-surveillance and plan use it for productive ends than to refuse to engage with the tech and let your enemies dictate how it's used. Like instead of whining about the tech, you could be forming local pro-surveillance tech advocacy organizations and pressuring lawmakers to make it structurally harder for leftists to use and it and easier for productive people to use it, all while locking up your enemies. For example.

I also think that imagining how the tech could be used against you is like cringing pre-emptively at the possibility of being beaten, it's like planning to lose in advance. A retard outlaw mentality.

Some people say that the real problem is the judges who let criminals out of jail. That's absolutely true. But security tech does work and even with lenient judges, it gets criminals off the streets more than before, so it has marginal utility. Meanwhile we can't wait around for a reform of the entire justice system. I think refusal to use security tech while waiting for "if we just"-type solutions ("if we JUST had a high trust society / working justice system / only white people" etc.) is kind of like the French who refuse to use AC while waiting for climate change to reverse itself.

For the retard right who opposes these, I see a failure to even imagine wielding power, a preference for fantasy, and an susceptibility to left wing memes. All of these should be rejected in favor of things that work and have proven themselves effective in the real world.

Millennial moidslop where men act foolish and mock themselves because this is 'manly' or whatever—manliness as permitted by feminism, where men are permitted to be performative stupid and brutish but never to embody competence or grace or anything that justifies male power.
