  1. Happy New Year, PA. Here’s wishing you and the lads and the Anglosphere all the best in 2026.

    (p.s. I miss your old essays – they’re not forgotten.)

  2. More long nights in the ICU & the Emergency Room.

    Hope all muh Pro-Life Anti-V@xx Bros-N-Christ be having a wunnerful Newww Yee-ah!!!

    Personally, I really enjoyed this one:

    PS: If I had a fambly member who needed one, I would walk over broken glass for a Stryker “Prime” wheelchair.

    “Stryker” is quite literally the Rolls Royce of wheelchairs.

    Those Strykers don’t roll over the floor; they GLIDE over the floor.

    Stryker mechanics make muh jaw drop.

    21st Century genius.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

  3. not to start what’s going to be an otherwise wonderful year on the wrong foot and black-pilling, but this didn’t sit well with me:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgaria_and_the_euro

    “Bulgaria has officially adopted the euro as its official currency, replacing the Iev”

    hopefully the nation doesn’t fall to the poz and keeps thriving as a nationalistic state.

    note: during the full-on globalist war on europe during 2015-2016, with rapefugees deployed as bioweapon, Bulgaria established the enviable reputation of being the country that they avoided the most, going out of their way so as not to get any close to it.

  4. In the opening scenes of Landman there is a brief camera shot of BBT injecting himself with a syringe; then the camera does a quick view of a bottle of Testosterone.
    WTF? Why put that in there? It is irrelevant to the story.

  5. Heard this song about 2/3 into the year. Classic alternative ballad, a throwback to the 70s singer/songwriter kind and the 80s hair metal love ballads*. Came across a YT comment that called Alice In Chains music, and this song in particular suicide soul.

    Really captures the 90s in, well, a nutshell. Contemplative, reflective, hopeful, sorrowful all at once. An everything song. This is how my 2025 ended and 2026 is beginning.

    I was always the type to only sample/like songs that were on the radio and/or MTV, which caught my fancy, which explains how I overlooked this gem.

    *Got me thinking there weren’t too many or as many love ballads in the 90s from the rock/alternative bands as we had in the 80s.

    .

    Let’s see what the new year rings in.

  6. “Suicide soul.” Huh. Then the suicide soul soundtrack is the one for S.F.W. (1994) starring Stephen Dorff and Reese Witherspoon. It’s an excellent CD that I’m coincidentally listening to right now. Six keepers: Soundgarden’s Jesus Christ Pose, Hole’s Teenage Whore, Monster Magnet’s Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Chris Cornell’s solo “cover” of Just Like Suicide, Paw’s cover of Cheap Trick’s Surrender, and Radiohead’s Creep.

    Courtney Love, despite her wretched everything, has some real talent on that Hole song. “Get out of my house!” she sing-quotes her mother as yelling at her. And she ultimately blames herself for her problems. She became a teenage whore because “I wanted that shirt, and I wanted that dress,” it sounds like the lyrics go.

  7. I liked the song Malibu from Hole too. I used to have a porn VCR tape with Courtney in it. She has one of those tall, leggy and sturdy bodies with big tits you see on Western girls a lot, especially the hot ones. Russ Meyer material. My brother used to know one of the Foo Fighters pretty well a few years ago and was told Courtney did Kurt in.

  8. Rock videos came into their own as an art form during the 90s. Even low budget ones like Lana del Rey’s can be done well. Courtney’s band looks like all they do is party, play, fuck and sleep. I know I’m old now. I’d want to go R. Lee Ermey on them all. Police this place up now! Dammit, on the double! I better not see anything but assholes and elbows moving in harmonic unison.

  9. PA, Lana del Rey captures the 60s and 70s well in her music and videos. She spent a lot of time with her father and uncle growing up and they schooled her well, as she was born in 1987. Some of her stuff seems stolen from my own childhood memories. Its uncanny. It’s also in little things like how she will sing barefoot as June Carter Cash often did, while wearing a similar hair do. Where did she see those details? You had to have been a fan in the 60s and 70s to know them. Few people remember June Carter Cash now. Johnny loved her deeply I believe. There was never a scandal involving those two and they always seemed happy in each other’s presence. May they both rest in peace with each other.

  10. A Lana Del Rey song came on the car radio yesterday and I thought of you. It was Summertime Sadness. Hole’s “Doll Parts” and “Violet” were and are my favorites. I bought that CD in ’94.

  11. Opening up 2026 would be the 1985 hit by Tears For Fears – “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”; a good commentary on the janky idiots josteling for their short lived positions.

    This would be closely followed by Wham! – “Everything She Wants”

    I dont recall that the ’70s, ’80s were packed with sorrow, sadness, butt hurt, and melancholy; and regarding artists and songs broadcasting such? Well…
    “I Can’t Go For That” – Hall & Oates

  12. “was told Courtney did Kurt in.”

    I read that Il Duce of the joke-rock band The Mentors was involved, so they had to kill him by making it look like he was run over by a freight train. One problem with this is that their reason for killing Duce was his drunkenness: they thought when drunk he would spill the beans inadvertently. But he was always a drunk apparently, so why the concern later and not before?

    Duce’s property’s back yard was bounded by active freight rails, and he had a bad habit of sitting on a rail while guzzling 12 packs, so it was easy to make it look like he passed out on the rail, the story goes.

    I read back in the wonderful years of print zines about a youth in the Midwest or maybe South who fell asleep in between the rails and was seriuously injured by a train passing over his back. It was said they made him do a Public Service Announcement to warn kids not to sleep on active railroad lines! That could have been a joke aimed at rural dwellers by the smartypants ziners.

  13. I have a Mentors LP from the late 80s and it’s not that good. The music in particular is poorly written and played, but that’s OK, because in joke rock you don’t want the music to eclipse the jokey lyrics. The lyrics aren’t that great. Their gimmick was to dress in black KKK hoods and sing very misogynistic songs (curiously, no anti-black songs, considering their getup). The best thing about them is they could come up with great song titles. My favorite is “Get Up and Die.” Anyone making an antiwar song or meme should use that.

  14. Riding on trains is fun ‘cept ya get really really dirty. (sitting on the rails is pretty uhhmm stoopid).
    Late at night we used to sit in the trees that grew alongside the MoPac RR in NW.Austin. There was a RR siding there, and this was before they built the MoPac Expressway.

    A northbound train would pull onto the siding and about a half hour later, a southbound would roar through. As the southbound passed, We’d jump into a boxcar or into the beds of pickups truck on one of the vehicle carriers coming up from the port, and ride the northbounder up a couple of towns then jump off. We’d then walk to a local billybob or biker bar, pound down a couple of Shiners or Lone Stars and when we heard a train whistle, then walk back to the siding and wait for a southbound, jump on, and ride back to Austin. Trust me, we got really dirty, blacker than blacks.

  15. The only time I was tempted to get on a moving freight train was in college in Massachusetts. There was a boxcar with the door open on a Boston & Maine train moving very slow and it was going to go through the Hoosac Tunnel, which, when built, was a nationally known (worldly known?) engineering achievement. My friend and I looked at each other and it was up in the air. I’m glad we didn’t, because I read later of bad ventilation in the miles-long tunnel.

  16. to a drunk on the loose, an empty train tracks is like a 5-star Hilton

    in all seriousness, they get run over all the time

  17. To continue with the subject of vintage Rock. Earlier today, Boston “Don’t Look Back” came on the car radio. Familiar song, I have not paid much attention to it before although Boston is one of my five all-time favorite bands.

    Today though, I actively listened to Don’t Look Back. The instruments, the shifts from minor to major keys, the synesthesia of light, and I intuited the late-70s audience energy at live performances of that song. Rock music is about the symbiosis of the band and the audience. This is particular to its time for the most part, which is why attitude-anthems age poorly. Active listening to Don’t Look Back is an experience of calling back the ghosts of that audience of fifty years ago, who are ghosts now.

    Not necessarily literally ghosts — many at that concert are certainly alive today, but they are not the same young men and women of that moment in history. Ghosts, as in, every moment of our mortal existence is permanently recorded in the spiritual realm. This is why some fleeting moment of joy you felt some X years or decades ago, wasn’t fleeting. It is eternal and indestructible and one day you will have it back though in a way that is incomprehensible to us in this life.

  18. 2017-21 Trump: George HW Bush’s Second Term

    2025-?? Trump: George W Bush’s Third Term

    “It’s all so tedious.”

    Christmas isn’t over, per definition 3 in The American Heritage High School Dictionary (which apparently will now be out of print along with all the AH dictionaries) until Epiphany on the 6th so, Merry Christmas.

  19. Team A: chaotic evil j/bolsheviks. Hate envy spite toward the White override every other consideration. They threw everything they had at us under Biden.

    Team B: neutral evil j/imperialists. “Can we rule the world without relying on the White? maybe someday, but today isn’t that day.” They wish they could trust Trump.

  20. Just played the earlier-mentioned songs: Alice in Chains “Nutshell” and Hole “Malibu.” Haven’t been familiar with the former. Both are great music. In terms of popular culture, the 1990s were the golden age of authenticity, a hard swerve from the 1980s being the golden age of romance.

  21. Help me understand why women are so attractive and so stupifyingly brainless at the same time.

    I adore and lust after these retards.

  22. I’m glad I have one of those AH big dictionaries, two in fact. I picked them out of a dumpster full of books selling for 10 cents each. Now my struggle is getting the family to appreciate the book collection I’ve amassed over my lifetime for their sake.

  23. Most white eurasian kids around here are not brainless. 99% of white Christian women dearly WANT to care for their children.

  24. S_E, incredible things are happening in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I never thought that the “Somali Question” would get answered in 2026. Truly astonishing.

  25. Happy New Year, LSP.

    After some consideration, gonna change my resolution, or rather refine it to: get a gf.

    Been on my mind these last few weeks, every since my last outing, and this weekend it crystallized.

    Wasting time waiting for the perfect time knowing all too well there’s no such thing.

    Never purposely ventured out with that sentiment. Nothing happens just haphazardly for its own sake.

    Cheers!

  26. so now that we have all the oil, we won’t have to take over Canada? presuming maybe they can get their shit together and not be a security threat?

    muh boy Isdahl and his latest stream was saying that Trump should do them a favor and get rid of the gov there, citing as an example the fentanyl lab that got busted, and one of the chief criminal operators, an Ay-rab, caught red-handed with enough fentanyl to OD half the continent, was set free by Canada’s legal system, without bail

  27. @OF

    They’re all in soflo and LA bro. I blame the men consuming the pron way more than the chicks producing it; however, in a perfect world it would all be illegal.

    Not enough shaming for pron propping men. Paying user accounts in the US are estimated at around 30-40 million w 90% of the revenue coming from married men. (not to be confused w 90% of all accounts. I’ve seen that claim and find it unlikely.)

    At this point, I’ve lost count of the OF chicks I’ve met. Accidentally picked up more than a few. I shut it down as soon as I find out. I’ve found them to be no different than chicks down here of any profession. Some are malicious, hardened users. Most are just unable to avoid the temptation of easy money and constant validation. Even more than that sell their soul for so little (average “creator” makes like 200 p month.) They are all lonely and insecure- without exception.

    Ran into one from PB late saturday night. She just drives her 911 GTS around w her dog. She’s always pleasant. Complimented me on my car. You would think nice, normal chick- then goes off and does depraved things…

    Mendo. Mein dawg. That’s a good resolution for 26.

    “Behind Enemy Lines”

    Who are you and when did you find this blog?

    I seldom post, but have been reading PA’s blog since at least the mid-2010s. Before then, I would’ve seen his comments on Roissy / early CH back in those days. Not sure if I arrived here via Roissy or Remus.

  29. I headed to the breakroom to get some java and spotted this coffee mug sitting on the shelf. Printed on the outside was a numbered list of “Gibbs’ Rules”. Never heard of Gibbs. Looked it up and he was some kind of dude on a TV series called NCIS.
    The rule that caught my eye was No.69 “Never trust a woman who doesn’t trust her man”.

  30. Shot: the smugness of thots in the memetic space — “women’s choice is eugenic.”

    Chaser: “how many eugenic babies have you made?”

  31. OF…Anglin’s current website is dailystormer(dot)in; however, I just tried to access it and it is now generating a DNS not found error. I’m guessing that the (((choozzz))) have taken it down based on some of his recent anti(((choozzz))) posts; it is in archive(dot)org through 23rd of Dec 2025.

  32. News: “Chaos Erupts After ICE Fatally Shoots Minneapolis Rioter Who Attempted to Run Over Agents”

    https: // gab . com/ LaurenWitzkeDE/posts/115855261554082534

    In the short video you hear a voice, probably the person recording it. Sounds like a youngish White female. She’s emoting “Oh my f*ing God!”

    Without knowing anything else about her, I know she is a lib. Leftists have these tells. We talked about this a year or two ago, but the gratuitous cursing, especially the f-bomb.

    The way they shout too. The voice has a strong note of haughty, performative indignation.

    Why do atheists make any invocations to God, anyhow.

  33. You know who curses a lot is the British. I’ve never felt closer to my British ancestors (75% of my heritage; the rest Dutch) than in the last 3 years doing an English history reading project (up to the Glorious Revolution of 1688 now). Ever since the late 1980s I’ve noticed gratuitous British cursing. Sometimes it can be really funny, like with Gordon Ramsey, the celebrity chef. Most times it comes off cringy.

  34. There’s an art to cursing. Like the Drill Instructor who lets loose a torrent of expletives without repeating a single word.

    With libs though, it’s all about FUCK! and FUCKING! It’s an emphasis word for them. Makes them feel transgressive and authentic. I always retell that Jesse Helms anecdote from the late 90s.

  35. only halfway related, but cursing in an argument, always always always, gives the other person the high ground

    this observation was noted by Artie Buco’s wife Charmaine, when he got upset with the credit card fraud investigators and swore at them

    ************

    not totally up on the ICE conflict, but what on Earth is up with these lefties who think they can run down Federal Agents who have weapons drawn, or otherwise just do as they please?

    and again, looks like Minneapolis is slated to be ground zero for some more bullshit

  36. OF, with all respect to all the parties involved, here there and elsewhere, Ol’ Andy had been dealing with burnout for a long time now; that has been the theme of his recent articles that I seen.

    the whole scene has changed in weird ways: everyone is kinda tired of talkity talk talk

    It feels like Trump has done a ton to make it seem feasible, that we dnt really have to go there, in terms of WN, in order to remain a prosperous society, maybe. That is what he is gunning for, is what it seems like to me.

    the conventional explain for that, is that the zio pigs have effectively commandeered White resistance into America v4.5: the more kickass version of America: I for one would be willing to live in Greenland, provided an all access pass to the underground lairs

  37. honestly a compromise for America, I would suggest Remigration for everyone post 9/11

    and Mexicans might get a total pass, or a provisional one

    I dnt think it’s feasible to remove all the browns and blacks from USA borders; but it is feasible to send all the ones back, who arrived post 9/11; and to repeat, the mexicans might have different provisions for return to origin

    and then a legal structure that favors heritage America; sensible monetary policy; detente with China

    trials for the purveyors of the injections of ruin my life now plz

  38. what on Earth is up with these lefties who think they can run down Federal Agents who have weapons drawn, or otherwise just do as they please?

    During Trump’s first term and Biden’s, lefties had gotten accustomed to seeing themselves as being above the law. For the younger ones, that’s their whole life-long. Black and antifa murderers getting off unpunished, Whites being thrown in prison over protesting or some altercation with a nog. Covid measures as the apogee of left wing terror. The rainbow boot on the human face forever. Consequently, libs now go into shock when they FAFO.

  39. Specifically, the 2020 “peaceful protests” where they went full ape shit without any significant backlash and in some cases were bailed out by politicians and the like. Tends to embolden someone already unstable and/or just looking to set the world on fire.

    RE: cursing. On those TikTok compliations, just a litany of all manner of cursing, the effe word being chief among them. One fellow even has a swear counter when he has a video where the gal is just going off. Mega unflattering. Cursing’s more in the domain of the masculine, just like tattoos.

    I refer to them as emphatic adjectives that when used correctly, in addition to PA’s example, can really get a point across without being cringe or try-hard.

  40. PA: The way they shout too. The voice has a strong note of haughty, performative indignation.

    Cluster B.

    Pay attention to me me me me ME!!!!!

  41. If we do get Greenland, true to form, Trump will make the great-great-grandchild of Matthew Henson by an Eskimo woman the centerpiece of the whole ceremony. She probably lives in Colorado Springs married to a Persian Jew.

  42. ELK: the whole scene has changed in weird ways: everyone is kinda tired of talkity talk talk

    Is there any sense that the Sh!tlibs might be going “kinetic”, in terms of an H0T W@R, rather than their usual Passive Aggressive bureaucratic bu11sh!t [which typically would have been wielded at the level of district court jurists]?

    How much has the Somali news weakened the Sh!tlib zeitgeist & will to power?

  43. Looking thru muh archives for that Jesse Helms story, I found the original comment, worth reposting for its broader coverage of profanity. My two comments from November 2021 follow.

    COMMENT 1:

    PA | November 30, 2021 at 10:24 pm Edit

    Roosh has an article about something that’s I’ve lately thought about – the habit of using foul language.

    Every time you use a profane word, you crack open the door for the demons to tempt you, because profanity is the language of the demons. No such word is ever used around God’s throne. It’s what the demons use to darken your mind and turn it away from God and onto anger, judgment, vanity, sex, wrath, and violence. Profanity is a crutch for the lazy mind, a tool of the evil mind, and the vomit of the atheist mind. It should never escape the Christian’s tongue, and if it does, it should be confessed before your priest.

    I’ve never been a big user of swear words, but hadn’t thought it a big deal to curse casually either. My guess is, I’ve rarely done it in blog comments, even going back decades. Here and there out of lazy word choice or for spice.

    In irl speech, in the past five years or so, I’m pretty much at zero-cursing, even if I accidentally painfully hit my shin against something.

    I bolded the sentence in Roosh’s paragraph. And the thing about atheists — same with liberals in general. I noticed this even back in the Nineties. Liberals use selectively placed foul language as a way of signaling. Especially leftist young women. For them it’s an act of rebellion against the expectation to be feminine.

    There was a guy at a [civil wedding reception party] I went to in 1997. This was my girlfriend’s grad school pals. The guy was a total lib, a dork. Looked like George Costanza. Memorable moment: he’s frothing at the mouth about politics. His oration climaxes with “… and we’d be able to [something something] if not for Jesse! Fucking! Helms!” He bent down in passion and made a gesture like he’s hammer-fisting his open palm with each of the last three words.

    More recently, a guy I sorta knew in high school, I connected with him on Facebook about twelve years ago. I saw that he’s an insane rabid lib so I quickly unfriended him. I assumed he’s come out as gay, with all of his homo signaling in his posts.

    A few years ago I hear that this guy’s wife died of cancer [no children]. I didn’t know he’s married… guess he’s not gay after all.

    Of course I wasn’t gonna wish him ill, it’s terrible to lose a loved one. So I followed someone’s link to the deceased wife’s Twitter account. There were many manifestations of her leftist insanity in her tweets. And there was also this: in weeks leading to her death, she posted many brave-attitude posts about her desire to beat the cancer. But each was so full of gratuitous vulgarity. It was there for style. It’s how liberals and atheists communicate. They think that it makes them sound strong, to have the F word in every sentence they write.

    COMMENT 2:

    PA | November 30, 2021 at 10:43 pm Edit

    — He bent down in passion and made a gesture like he’s hammer-fisting his open palm with each of the last three words.

    Akshully when I picture this, I’m pretty sure he was doing the gesture where he’s backhanding (or karate-chopping) the open palm of his other hand, in downward strikes. His face grimaced with each angry word in that concluding trifecta.

    It’s not a gesticulation I’ve ever done. But pantomiming this right now to reanimate the memory… it’s a strong gesture of a particular kind — involuntarily, while doing it just now, I felt like I’m an angry liberal and I should march in a gay parade.

    Kinesthetics are real. For an another example, try jogging. Then imagine a hand pushing back against your chest. Then after that imagine a rope pulling you forward by the chest. Try it.

    And when you as a single White man approach the right young woman today, stand tall like you own the place and have a friendly smile like you own the place. Try it.

  44. — the whole scene has changed in weird ways: everyone is kinda tired of talkity talk talk

    We’re crossing over the temporal boundary. A generation has its time on the center stage then they take their bows. Their voices echo in the eternity and all that. Old school WN was the time of the Silents and Boomers. After them there was Andrew the Writer, Murdoch2, blogs, /poI/ and such, which was the time of GenX and Millennials. Now it’s the dawn of the time of Zoomers.

    It’s a different era, different reality, and the times calls for different words and actions of each different generation.

    Trump of course is a Boomer but he’s got hard power that he appears to be using to shift things our way and he’s not stepping aside on the stage because with hard power it’s different. Cultural movers like what we’re talking about, those are powerless people. Prophets, writers, bloggers, shitlords, martyrs sometimes. That’s when you have your generational moment. Zoomers are different than what came before them because they are coming of age in a different time. Unlike their predecessors, they all know. All of the young men, certainly. They also have a hell of a sense of humor.

  45. I recall something from Hipster Racist, maybe, that studies have shown that adding a small amount of profanity to a statement increases the likelihood of listeners agreeing/deferring. My feeling is its like a sleazy car salesman.

  46. “Akshully when I picture this, I’m pretty sure he was doing the gesture where he’s backhanding (or karate-chopping) the open palm of his other hand, in downward strikes. His face grimaced with each angry word in that concluding trifecta.”

    The singer in Jesus Lizard did that on their live album at CBGB. I just spent some time on youtube trying to find footage of it, no dice. But not wasted time, got to see them. My memory is that he introduced a song by saying something like “why you got to be hard all the time, be such a dick” etc. And he was hitting his own hand really hard so you could hear it. Excellent band. David Yow could be an unpleasant basket case but that album was really loud hard rock, great.

  47. Are there any Zoomers who can ackshually write simple straightforward sentences?

    We’re not talking novels here.

    Just a few coherent words thrown together in a reasonably interesting expository style.

    PS: What’s Heartiste up to these days?

  48. Of course there are zoomers who can write. They crank out essay assignments in high school like we did. Some things never change. Ability, diligence, and mastery is one of those things.

  49. Re: Leftists (and left-handed ppl; there’s a YUGE correlation) uttering intentionally godless epithets …

    … Don’t forget the “I F’ing Love !SC1ENCE!” cohorts …

    THEY ARE ALWAYS THE FIRST TO WORSHIP CHARLES DARWIN’S FLAWED THEORY.

    Now ask the same Leftists if 3ugen1x is valid. THEY ARE THE FIRST TO CONDEMN CHARLES DARWIN’S THEORY.

    It’s said SJWs always lie.

    Inferred: Leftists never believe in their justifications for their evil actions.

    It’s not left vs right. It’s good vs evil.

  50. Different Topic:

    CD, I still “talk” to him (ALS bro) every day. He laughed this morning because I was late. I would not have been quite so faithful a friend had you not encouraged me to do the same.

  51. Wait. PA brough up Roosh. Roosh doesn’t even publish anymore and good for him.

    I emailed Roosh not an hour ago. Last time was probably a year ago.

    Something is happening. I like it.

  52. I made a serious effort not to swear a few years back and have generally succeeded. I still swear in my thoughts or if I’m hanging out with one of my male friends. I stopped because I didn’t want to influence my kids that it was acceptable. TV corrupted them instead, especially gamer videos. Now my daughter hit puberty at 11 and has become difficult to manage and swears like a sailor. It has spread to my son and even my very kind hearted wife. Hearing my wife swear upsets me the most. It has corresponded with my daughter claiming she doesn’t believe in God and refusing to attend Mass. I pray daily for her to stop.

  53. JJ,

    I’m happy to hear that. It’s a test from God. He’s a soul in a skin suit at this point. I will add your friend to my prayers. It’s an even bigger test for his wife.

    I am at the beach with my 8 year old son. He shot his .22 Cricket rifle for the first time yesterday at my land a couple of hours north. Distances in Alabama are deceptively long. I bought a pic nic table at Lowe’s to shoot from and set it up out there. I think I might have ruined his experience somewhat by my focus on firearms safety but it was a good day. We’ll go to the beach today and return to the property tomorrow to do some more work and some more shooting. I shot my .22LR MP44. If you’re looking for a nice .22, this rifle should be on your list. They cost about $400. They weigh 9 pounds and are nearly an exact copy of the real thing. The weight makes them nice to shoot.

  54. I’m in one of phases where I worry about going to Hell. In the RC church, you’re never good enough. That keeps you on your toes but it is also discouraging.

  55. I had the fuckin flu, the one that is making the rounders. It sucked huge, lasted more or less exactly 7 days, and you know how those things take a week or two to taper off after that.

    there’s a larger point that is worth making how the whole scene for DR politics, and White politics, is totally knocked off its block; for awhile there was narrative forming up around it, and now that seems totally gone, or suborned by Trump and his faction of zio pigs

    I for one am willing to get on the Trump train, despite knowing that he’s a zio pig, as long as he can bring some degree of prosperity and order

    but it kinda needs to be said, or doesn’t cuz it should be obvious, that ICE going around in teams of 10 or 20, and one-x-one knocking off Jose and Juan who work at Home Depot, as a remedy for immigration problems, is the most clown world comedy in the history of clown world comedy

    it’s an absurd spectacle, to get people to feel like Trump is Heritage America

    *******************

    I have a couple drama observations from the content I was watching last night–

    • Henrik on Red Ice last night was complaining about America making moves on Greenland; too bad Nordic Euro suckers: Greenland isn’t fucking Europe; and supposedly you run Greenland at the behest of the Eskimos [Inuit whatever, dnt know dnt care] there, and allow them self determination, and it’s not unlikely they are willing to be bought off, for a few bottles
    • Scott Ritter was on X and saying that the incident in Minneapolis was “murder” he was so unequivocal in calling it that; dnt know what is the deal with that guy; at one point he seemed halfway based
  56. but about that flu, these days if when you get a bad flu, I always wonder whether it might be engineered to be something that is not organic, and it might actually be lethal

    borrowed time, as someone once said

    not to be dox, but that area of Minneapolis that went down, is on the south side of the city, just north of Richfield; it’s a desolate vibe, that neighborhood, it’s mexican now, that larger area

    part of the absurdity of the ICE situation.. going around heavy with ICE teams of hard hitting knucklebusters, to round up one-x-one, Juan and Jose, who are here to the tune of at least 50M — this is not an effective plan

    the mexicans are halfway compatible with the Economic Zone of America the New Versions: Kickass America

    jeets and somalis are not

    if Trump were not retarded, which is he, he would get rid of those guys

    mexicans suck in the a different way, but they’re not the peak problem, and or if they were, the hard ass van driving ICE-approach that this seasons’s writers are all hard-on about, is a fail, as far as legit strategy and tactics: they are not trying to actually solve the problem

    “Now my daughter hit puberty at 11 and has become difficult to manage and swears like a sailor.”

    It’s part of the programming. Now she’s “in the game” genetically, if not legally, the firmware has taken over and she’s shit testing all men, including you.

    You have the standard 3 options..

    Ignore
    Reduce to absurdity
    Misdirect

    You could for instance when she swears, look at your son and say “who invited your brat of a sister”

    Something along those lines…

  60. Prayed for you SD.

    Say one for me. My kids have not yet reached the age of reason. I sometimes think about how I will navigate bouts of rebellion.

    On despair/damnation….are you prone to scrupulosity? I hope you have a holy priest in whom you can confide. Having a healthy respect for the reality of hell is one thing but it should never lead to despair. That is ironically a ploy of the demonic, to lead you to believe you are unworthy of God’s mercy.

    I had a really rough Advent. Toughest since I reverted five years ago. I have learned and now experienced personally that demons turn up the heat before people enter into a deeper stage of spiritual development/closeness with Christ consciousness. Most of the saints went through this.

    Doubly true with patriarchs. They hate families and will attack you first. They always go for the head.

    Hope I did not beat a dead horse/not intending to give unsolicited advice. You’re the man SD.

  61. It came on suddenly about 3 months ago. Most of the aggression is directed at Mom. She is homeschooled and doesn’t have her own phone. She steals or borrows ours. The bad conduct is from the Internet and other kids as well as TV shows and pop music. Most of it is hormonal. It is natural and will pass. She can’t drive, has no way to get anywhere and no one to go to. So she is raging over the difference between her life and what she sees on TV. Mostly it’s amusing but mom takes it too seriously and gets upset.

  62. remind her that all the people she sees on teevee are vaxxed and believe that men should crouch down in order to urinate with women doing the same while standing. that’s the moment to mercilessly make fun of atheists, troons, anti-racists, diversities and jays

    Have you tried to analyze the personality which she inherited, in terms of

    A) what she inherited from you

    B) what she inherited from your wife

    C) what she inherited from your mother

    D) what she inherited from your father

    E) what she inherited from her mother’s father

    F) what she inherited from her mother’s mother

    [You can also keep the cousins in mind…]

    At conception, her personality was determined irrevocably & eternally, by the particular spermatozoon which mated with the particular ovum, and there’s absolutely nothing whatsoever which can be done about that.

    However, if you can identify those innate pillars of her personality, and come to grips with the existential nature of those pillars, then that will put you way out ahead of The Game, regarding what can & cannot be expected of her.

    As a general rule of thumb, all of your children will tend to have unique personalities, which do not necessarily jibe with anything you have yet observed within your own fambly [nor within her mother’s fambly], and as her personality changes during puberty, there will continue to be kinks & quirks & ballasts & nor’easters & rocky shores to navigate.

    At the one extreme, she may have inherited a touch of nymphomania; at another extreme, she may have inherited a touch of frigidity; you just never know until you know.

    And, again, there’s nothing which can be done about any of this, other than bringing very large portions of patience, and understanding, and more patience, and empathy to the psycho-sociological banquet.

    ===============================

    Personally, I would ditch the (((Talmudvision))) immediately, and replace it with old DVDs & Blue Rays of movies which you & your wife approve of [and which, of course, presumably, would not include e.g. “Last Tango in Paris”].

    And my disciplinary disposition would vacillate between screaming bloody murder at her, versus holding her firmly in my arms as she screamed bloody murder at me.

    The single most important variable you bring to the equation is your own sense of PATIENCE.

    PATIENCE is what will win out in the long term.

    Whereas EXPEDIENCY will tend to do nothing but make the situation ever more ugly & urgent & implacable.

    Just something as simple as holding her hand, or putting your arm around her shoulder, whilst watching a scary movie together, can go a long, long way towards strengthening the ties which bind you.

    ===============================

    tl;dr == Her behavior was determined at conception, and as Skipper of the SS-Carlos-Danger, all you can do is pilot the ship of state safely around rocks.

  64. PS: I would strongly urge you to grab a DVD copy of Steve Martin’s “Father of the Bride”, and, if you can, an hardcover copy of the original 1949 novel, by Edward Streeter.

    It was arguably the most perspicacious piece of literary entertainment of the entire 20th Century.

    [I’ve never seen the 1950 version of the movie, but I’d be very interested to watch it, if extant copies of the 1950 version do still exist].

  65. PS: Within the last few years, psychologists have been updating Gary Becker’s “Rotten Kid Theorem”; if you go to a decent A.I., and ask for modern psycho-sociological updates to the “Rotten Kid Theorem”, then you should get upwards of ten or more decent papers to read.

    The basic idea is that “The Rotten Kid” was bred, genetically, to re-route fambly resources away from “The Good Kids”, solely to the benefit of “The Rotten Kid”.

    Again, the fundamental idea is that there are likely to be genes which induce psycho-sociological parasitism within the family, and possibly within even larger gatherings of children, such as, for instance, a school classroom [wherein even just one single parasitic personality can be a significant detriment to all the other (completely innocent) children in the classroom].

    Hopefully you won’t be dealing with anything quite that dire in your own fambly, but it’s a possibility which you might want to remember & retain, out at the edge of your own thinking.

  66. One final thought: Classically, people put a great spiritual emphasis on the power of the NAMING of a thing.

    For instance, in the Rumplestiltskin story, the Miller’s daughter is not able to corral Rumplestiltskin until she finally learns the NAME of Rumplestiltskin

    More recently, my recollection is that Tolkien’s description of Bilbo’s sloppy oratorial interaction with Gollum involved the naming of things [which in particular would subsequently give Sauron a great deal of insight when searching for The Ring].

    Classically, folks seemed to feel that there was great power to be wielded in the naming of their children; as recently as about 1800AD, baby girls would routinely receive birth names of e.g. “Constance” or “Patience” or similar, presumably because the parents were hoping that the very naming of the child would then endow the characteristics of constancy or patience in the child.

    More recently, in the early 20th Century, even before the rise of the Bolsheviks, Russian society was being ripped apart at the seams, due to the “Imiaslavi”; the question of whether the mere NAME of GOD wielded power over suhciety.

    IMIASLAVIE

    https://tinyurl.com/3c9jf8va

    And if you find yourself getting caught up in the Naming of Things, you want to be absolutely certain that you’re Naming things Correctly.

    Johnny Cash had an yuge hit in that regard: https://tinyurl.com/ye26wm6s

  67. START EARLY.

    By the age of three or four, your daughter needs to know to stay the hell away from groidz.

    100% homeschooling [and I would go with “Free Range Learning”].

    As above, thoroughly ANALYZE your daughters personality to the point that you know her better than she knows herself; in particular, that will require you to be brutally honest with yourself in categorizing her on e.g. the Frigid versus Nymphomaniac spectrum.

    That sort of shiznat can be brutally heart-wrenching for a parent, but nothing good can unfurl for your daughter unless your analysis of both yourself and your daughter is of the upmost brutal and gut-wrenching TRUTH.

    DO NOT HIDE BEHIND LITTLE WHITE LIES.

    UNDERSTAND YOUR DAUGHTER FOR PRECISELY WHO SHE IS, AND FOR WHO PRECISELY WHO SHE IS NOT.

    I’d spend an inordinate amount of time with ancient fambly bibles, and with the Mormon Family History Libraries, to learn as many generations of muh fambly as possible, so that your daughters are well aware of the strength & the power & the legends of the fambly; as a means by which to counteract the incessant (((Psy-Ops))) designed to demoralize your daughter, and cause her to become an amoral / immoral slut.

    I’d talk very very honestly and forthrightly with her about how precisely the (((Psy-Ops))) were designed expressly to turn her into a filthy stinking shiksa whore-cμnt, and how she [and arguably her friends] are, vis-a-vis the (((Psy-Ops))), little more than prisoners in a “Mouse Utopia”, and how she and her friends need to be MORAL creatures who are hell bent on destroying the (((Psy-Ops))) and the “Mouse Utopia” in which they find themselves imprisoned.

    And inculcate in your daughter a severe hatred of the WARDENS of the “Mouse Utopia”.

    ======================================

    Tens of thousands of pages could be written about these phenomena.

  68. Here’s a list I stared compiling earlier today:

    1. Homeschooling
    2. No iPh@gz
    3. No “friends” from famblies which endorse mudsharkery
    4. No “mixed” churches; find a Whites-only church.
    5. Ongoing & very serious heart-to-heart conversations with the daughters
    6. Yuge emphasis on Fambly Geneaology. Get thee to the nearest Mormon “Family Research Center”,

    And I’d add: TO HELL WITH THE NAY-SAYERS: THEY ARE YOUR EXISTENTIALLY ENEMIES!!!

  69. PPS: Give strong thought to HOME-CHURCHING, although Home-Churching might be difficult for Catholics.

    You’d need to find a priest who was kicked out of the church for refusing to partake of heresy.

    But see whether you can find him; and, if so, make absolutely certain that he’s not a closeted sodomite nor a paedophile.

    That would be muh #1 priority as a Catholic.

    Go HOME-CHURCHING with the aid of a righteous [likely ex-communicated] priest, who hates mudsharkery every bit as much as does you.

    Or else become a protestant.

  70. Lots & lots of Typos in the above.

    Sorry.

    Trying to type on a Macintosh – what a disaster of an operating system.

  71. @SD

    I thought you had it covered.

    Just remember that the system is designed to stop them getting knocked up by gormless betas like Lady Edwina.. and other random losers. Objectively it succeeds in doing that very efficiently.

    What you’re seeing is a feature of a young woman growing into herself and not a bug.

    You’re her father, and it’s your fuckin rules. End of story.

    Good luck.

  72. PALMA: Just remember that the system is designed to stop them getting knocked up by gormless betas like Lady Edwina.

    Are you thinking of “the system” as being akin to the “Limbic System”, which controls our most powerfully emotional responses to external stimulae; in particular, our instantaneous decisions [over which we have no control] to e.g. decide whether, “To Phuck or Not to Phuck, that is the question”?

    Meaning are you thinking in terms of biologically innate & uncontrollable instantaneous decisions such as, “To Phuck or Not to Phuck?

    Meaning meaning that her Limbic System [i.e. her hindbrain] ought to prevent her [at least when she’s sober] from accepting, into her birth canal, seed from sub-optimal young men?

  73. Reminds me of all the bishes in Eastern Europe, during the 1990s, when the Wall came down, and all of the E.E. hotties raced directly to the most expensive zip codes in Western Europe [and shortly thereafter, to California, specifically the San Fernando Valley pr0n industry].

  74. To build on what Oner, Palma, d., and Old Friend said. Two things. One, there is no one size fits all rule for family advice because all families are unique. Two, it’s a mistake to try to isolate your child from the world.

    On homeschooling, I don’t advocate it as necessarily the best way. It’s very case by case. One of my friends had his two daughters homeschooled from early elementary school thru high school. Resounding success, one already graduated from college with top honors. Here is the thing. Both girls are naturally gentle like doves. This made the older one experience bullying early in elementary school, so they decided to homeschool. Also, my friend’s wife was an absolute dynamo as a coordinator and organizer of the homeschooling community. In their case, homeschooling was perfect. But with a different kind of temperament it might not do well with that approach. So, it’s a case by case. I can only speak to cases where I know the families personally.

    Old Friend, an excommunicated priest? LOL my bruv. The priests in my church are excellent. The Catholic Church has problems up the hierarchy but that isn’t the parishioner’s concern in terms of his salvation, and in terms of guidance in Homilies. All you need is one good priest with strong and genuine faith.

    To also pick up on OF’s popular culture recomms, see the show Young Sheldon. One of the main characters is child-Sheldon’s twin sister Missy. I guarantee every young girl will find something she can relate to with her.

  75. unfortunately I know some women who fit that bill, and are actively protesting on the scene, and it’s exactly as the acct picrel’d above describes: they are just looking for attn, to be checked, pressed, put boundaries on, by a man who can do it

    their husbands, if they have them, are not doing it

    they are generally dogs, in the old school sense of being HB5 or less, and their street theatre is 100 percent psychosocial “look at me, I am a bad girl and no one can put me in place!”

    I honestly dnt know how.. tedious.. this observation about their motivations, has become. It’s pretty tedious on this end! making it and seeing it play out IRL. But everytime you think it won’t get more worse and more tedious, it does.

  76. “A newly released angle of the incident proves that the leftist lesbian was evading arrest, her ‘wife’ yells “Drive, baby, drive!” after receiving lawful orders to exit the vehicle. The driver then floors it forward, putting the immigration agent in danger

    Thats a damning camera angle. For the dyke.

    That filmed confrontation, no kidding about begging to be thrown around.

  77. The talk of the town is, new world order is over, superpowers are staking their claim on their respective hemispheres. Good for Europe, ouch Australia. In with jackbooted law and order, out with effeminate wokeness. Am I too old for the lCE signing bonus?

  78. I salvaged a book from the dumpster just a few weeks ago that I’m really proud of. It’s the last and seventh volume of the Royal Navy history up to 1901 by Clowes. It was printed in 1907 and goes from 1857 to 1901 and it is jammed full of photographic plates with fragile rice-paper guard papers. In just the first 30 pages I already learned of a great story, that of the HMS Captain, an experimental battleship that was top-heavy and had a low freeboard, so it capsized in 1870 off Spain, killing 475 (?). To get some perspective, 475 then was what, 3000 at the WTC, proportionally? I have yet to get to the long description of the British battleships running the “Taku Forts” in China but I can’t wait. The Victorian absolutely-supremacist tone of the writing is something to behold.

  79. Oner,

    i get these bouts of feeling unworthy mostly from scrolling through YouTube. There are a number of videos I find discouraging either in their message or delivery. I usually take up questions of faith with a friend whose uncle was a professor at Seton Hall Seminary and he always says that God is infinitely merciful. I try to live a godly life. I pray a lot, about 90 minutes a day on most days. God answers my prayers, especially WRT to family harmony with my wife. I am generally blessed and I thank God often for my blessings. There is a video where a saint passed away and spoke with a nun from Heaven. He said of some 33000 people who died when he did 3 went to Heaven and 4 went to purgatory. That one scared me. I have prayed about that often. I think the story may be demonic because those numbers make it seem impossible to truly be saved. I thought myself that demons might have planted the story and you just told confirmed it. I started praying long intentions a few months back before the Rosary. I don’t have a priest I can confide in. Father Rehil’s parish is about 90 minutes from here. He is a man I can talk to but have never met. My daughter loves me very much, even if she shit tests me. So I leverage that as best possible. Father Ripberger did a homily that set me off on this latest bout of fear. He wanted people to take a self assessment. I’m respected for my faith in my parish but in my own mind I’m never good enough. I simply try to pray and have a heart to heart talk with God when these doubts creep in. That usually helps. Still, I’m not a saint and probably never will be.

  80. SD – Mom is just the oldest teen in the house. You know this. And that will never end…

    they are just looking for attn, to be checked, pressed, put boundaries on, by a man who can do it

  81. Old Friend, an excommunicated priest? LOL my bruv.

    PA, feel free to correct moi if necessary, but muh impression was that, these days, the jesuitical s0d0mites have amassed so much institutional mass [no pun intended] that they are now literally chasing the truly faithful straight out of the seminaries.

    Muh point being that if you want to find a truly Christian priest, then he’ll likely have been long since excommunicated by the jesuitical satanists which now control the Church.

    Everything I’ve read recently about Rome is simply horrifying.

  82. ELK: “their street theatre is 100 percent psychosocial “look at me, I am a bad girl and no one can put me in place!”

  83. SD: WRT to mudsharking let them know it’s beneath them and will follow them.

    I would go so far as to frame it in terms of beauty & kindness versus hideousness & horror.

    That their confounded mixed race children will be hideous orcs & goblins & ghouls & Grendels, bereft of kindness, thoughtfulness, courage, beauty, comradery & friendship.

    That miscegenation is an anti-Human Abomination.

  84. I told my daughter her kids would be ugly and marked for life. I told her she would be destroying her genetic legacy. All that.

  85. PA, I follow Alex Krainer closely. Lately it’s been on a show called Crypto Rich. He brought in a couple of new pundits Blaine Holt and EM Burlingame. They say the City of London is losing but still very dangerous. Since the globalist bankers would lose everything, they will fight viciously to the death in order to survive. That makes sense to me.

  86. Use the term “halfro.” I read that only once, years ago, and was surprised it didn’t become popular. Maybe it’s because no one uses the term afro anymore or knows what it means.

  87. RE: the instagram link

    Yeah, saw that several weeks ago. Drunk bish gets high and mighty. Someone trips her as they’re trying to escort her out. Cheers from the customers as she’s finally taken outside, where she then proceeds to fight with the Asian bartender (whom I later found out from another video happens to be gay. . .LOL!) and as she goes back to attack him, after having grabbed his hair as women are wont to do, another person trips her.

    Mind you, her bf is with her this whole time while it’s all unfolding. After she falls she bitches to him and then he starts to try to act all macho as she walks away. She wound up losing her job.

    RE: MF your book.

    Meant to say that two years ago, I’ve been buying various Time-Life series books, one of those series being The Seafarers and all about ships and navies from their inception. The first book is called The Ancient Mariners. What’s amazing is the various diagrams and photos of ships/boats of that era.

    The other two series I have are The Epic of Flight and The Enchanted World. The other one I want to start collecting is about the old west. The covers on those are brilliant.

    Got them via ebay. Some sellers have the whole sets but getting them individually is way cheaper and many books are in great condition, especially given their age.

  88. When even the sign language interpreter can’t explain it all:

    .

    If only Iryna was protesting when she met her fate. Unnerving that not even White women were aghast at her killing, yet some overweight dyke who FAFO’d gets all their sympathy.

  89. I have a lot of old books, LPs, and CDs, and a few of them might be worth something. The problem is that everyone who deals in this stuff lies. I can’t blame them much, because they have to get stuff as cheap as possible and sell as high as possible. I just wish I could find out what these things are really worth. I have only three LPs I suspect are worth now more than I paid for them years ago: an early Metallica, a Yardbirds greatest hits rarely released in mono, not stereo; and an album by the clownish psychedelic rock band Ultimate Spinach from Boston, which is so bad some people think it was meant to be a comedy album (sample: [deep Jim Morrison voice]: “I am falling [long pause] into the sea of my troubled mind [pause] my troubled mind”).

    As for books, forget it, no dealer would come close to telling me what any of them are worth.

    The one time I felt good about my collectible’s worth was when in the early 90s I noticed that the hotel next to where I worked advertised a Southwest Indian Pottery expo. I went in on a whim on my lunch hour and bought a black turtle-shaped thing for maybe fifty dollars and gave it to my parents for Christmas. 20 years later an acquaintance of my mom’s came into her living room and the first thing she said was “where did you get that?,” pointing to the pottery displayed on a bookshelf. My mom said she was impressed and knew her stuff and identified it as, not US Indian, but Mexican, and worth a lot. Although she didn’t make an offer, which is suspect. She even said the buyer, me, must have known what he was doing. Mom might have added the latter to make me feel good.

  90. I could have got some valuable books when I was in Boy Scouts. We would camp at a rural property owned by one of our scoutmasters, which he used for hunting. He slept in a tiny cabin, one of the smallest I’ve seen, and we were in tents about 150 feet away from the cabin. I loved that place, which we camped at 2 or 3 times. It had a ridge from which you could see 40 or 50 miles west. We would have fires in the lee of the ridge at night, and scouts’ parents would visit and tell stories.

    The last time I was there most of the scouts went on a hike in the nearby state forest, while I and one other stayed in camp for some forgotten reason. I saw some black plastic in the leaves near my tent and picked it up and found it was the top of a huge plastic bag surrounding a burlap bag buried in the earth. My bro was there and we tried to unearth it. We finally gave up and cut the bags with our scout knives enough to see what they contained. I pulled out an old paperback at the top, published in the late 50s or early 60s. It was pornography with no pics, like that column, Penthouse Forum, where people boasted about their sexual adventures. I leafed through the 90 or so pages and near the end saw the word “knife” and realized there was sadism or worse in it.

    Up to then we were blinded by curiosity and lust for buried treasure, but then abject fear hit me hard and I said we have to rebury this and never tell anyone. My friend was smart enough to agree and that was that. I was about to quit the Scouts anyway at 14, and I never saw the scoutmasters again after they drove us home, nor that friend, whose name I forgot.

    The bag had dozens of other paperbacks in it but we leafed through just that one, I believe. Those things are definitely worth a lot, but I would not know how to contact buyers safely. 15 years later I stopped by there on the way to somewhere else, and the property looked the same except that the cabin had been replaced by a McMansion. No one appeared to be home so I parked and walked to the bag site but saw no bag corner peeking out. Thank goodness!

  91. collectibles are on a huge down cycle, are they not?

    I used to collect beer cans, and did pretty well by neighborhood standards, but talk about a hobby that is really hard to understand, looking back, it makes no sense at all. It was really dirty, for one. Rummaging around in old garbage pits, to display the wares in your house?

    what was even weirder is how common it was, for a hobby, for a certain set of kids, like basically I think it was huge in the Midwest in the 70s; I was on the tale end of it, and it turned out a bunch of older kids, had awesome collections that totally dwarfed mine

    I lugged 3 or 4 storage totes around, full of old cans, up until about 2008; utterly ridiculous. Even saving a few of them, would make no sense, anymore: the Schmidt collection, a complete set, would be about the coolest thing, but what, you gonna keep it on display in your bedroom? I had a complete set of Schmidt, but maybe missing one; I see that complete are listed for around 100 dollars RN.

    in beer can collecting circles, it was against the rulez, to buy them: they were supposed to be either found, or traded: buying them was a cheat

  92. collections of sci fi materials from the 80s, the series paperbook books, were also hard to get rid of, for awhile; I saw a fellow high level geek_core master at the mall recently, wearing a Dragon Lance paraphernalia hoodie

    he was a teenager tho; as a larp, it would be a good one to have asked him point blank, to buy that “awesome garment for a hundred silver coins” safe bet it woulda been appreciated, from one dungeon master to another

    does this poast need a no homo?

    the Dragon Lance series, in D&D lore, was a spinoff, it wasn’t really the real stuff; all that was before computer gaming, of course

  93. it’s a given I am 10 or 20 years behind, what is current on the internet, but I always thought it would be a good online interactive game, to do a Treasure Hunt style thing at the mall, or wherever it could be construed as public space: like your team would have to checklist 10 or 20 items, and get a picture for proof

    but find a fellow dungeon master from the 80s, and engage in a coded conversation with this guy, would be one checklist item

    find a boomer who had a confirmed kill in Viet Nam, and is willing to say as much, might be an interesting bonus points

    find an Afghan vet who saw a Bigfoot, in action

    those are fairly high difficult items, and prolly ones that the kids would find uninteresting, or “geyser coded” they would call it

    but basically set up a hub that teams could play on, and the Treasure Hunt, the magic of it, would be that it would require talking to people IRL and getting them to play along and maybe share stories about life

  94. Speaking of hearing people in real life, 13 or so years ago I used to have a very early schedule where I would commute around 6:20. The same people on the train would be there and you quickly got to recognize them, because no one would be there randomly. I noticed in particular a guy in his late 50s who had struck up a friendship with a younger Asian guy, maybe Filipino. The friendship seemed totally train-based and no further. They bonded around college football, and would talk endlessly about that and nothing else.

    Until one day Jeremy spoke in class and I’ll never forget it. They were talking about a pileup where the players are fighting for the ball and the refs can’t see. The older white guy, who had never before said anything but stuff about football, said, without altering his speaking style in the least: “that was like when I was delivering cocaine for the Providence mob. I had the stuff packed around me like a vest, and they piled on and beat the shit out of me but I knew they couldn’t get it or I would owe the mob. They kept beating me until they heard a siren, cause someone had seen it and called 911. I knew the cops would interview me in the hospital when they gave me anesthesia, so even though I never did coke, when I was lying in the street half dead after the beating, I slit the coke bags strapped to my chest with my penknife and snorted as much as I could. I wanted to be awake when those cops were in the hospital with me so I could deny everything. I almost overdosed on cocaine but I didn’t rat. I did 5 years.”

    He said this perfectly clear in front of 20 strangers.

  95. MF: I’m picturing that story in my head and it’s glorious.

    Not as legendary as the Main Street one, but up there.

  96. Part 2

    The Filipino guy was blase, even though I thought he didn’t know before that his friend was an ex-con. He said, after a long pause after the criminal confession, “do you miss that life?” The older white guy said “Sometimes. I liked having a gun and knowing that people knew that. Niggers would respect you when they knew you had a gun.”

    There were several blacks on the train who heard every word but didn’t do a thing.

    I’m not sure if I ever saw that guy again. I changed my hours shortly after to be more normal 9-5, not because of him, just circumstances.

  97. SD-

    There are a few accounts of God’s mercy that have helped me when struggling with the reality of hell.

    St. John Vianney had a vision of a man in purgatory who was saved despite lacking faith throughout his life and committing suicide. He begged God for forgiveness before he breathed his last. This and his wife prayed unceasingly for his conversion even in death.

    I have read some of the Desert Fathers. One big takeaway from their parables is that a dimension of God’s mercy is His consideration of the unique life circumstances, strengths, weaknesses, and vocational duties of the individual when exacting judgment. Yes many things are non negotiable, but within that framework exists nuance. God is not an egalitarian.

    The story of Saint Mark Ji Tianxiang, a lifelong drug addict martyr comes to mind.

    I want to start reflecting more on and living out humility. The Desert Fathers had many different approaches on how to attain salvation but unanimously agreed that humility was their north star in spiritual warfare.

    You are fearful of hell, that is naturally good. Perfect contrition is to be more fearful of offending God than personally suffering the torments of hell.

    Paradoxically I have found the shift in focus away from suffering in hell and toward not hurting God lessens the fear and anxiety associated with the former.

  98. I had a beer bottle collection in college, and it got so big that the summer between junior and senior year I didn’t want to lug it home, so I put it in the attic of a dormitory with a sign that said “THIS IS A COLLECTION. PLEASE DO NOT THROW OUT.” That summer my friend was on campus doing a summer job and was in the attic and heard maintenance people laughing. As he walked by, the maintenance guys said “look at this shit! We should take this and get the deposit. It’s enough for a six pack!” It was true. A six pack of good beer was only 5 dollars then. There were enough bottles. But they didn’t do it, and the worthless green bottles were there to gather dust during my senior year. I brought them home and my mom finally threw them out in this century. Not as good as the classic Beastie Boys line “your mom threw out your best porno mag.”

  99. US used powerful mystery weapon that brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees during Maduro raid: witness account

    https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4361424/posts

    The US used a powerful mystery weapon that brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees, “bleeding through the nose” and vomiting blood during the daring raid to capture dictator Nicolas Maduro, according to a witness account posted Saturday on X by the White House press secretary.

  100. Some have an instinct on what’s valuable and collectible. I learned this at CBGB on Christmas or Thanksgiving 1999. The place was open, but only weirdos and losers were there, including the performing act Von Lmo, a possibly schizophrenic outside artist. His music is good, because he somehow attracted great players to be in his band. But he was nowhere near as good as Captain Beefheart or Roy Harper or other eccentrics. I was at the bar and enjoying it, and then Von Lmo pulled out a bag of CDs. Immediately, dozens of people came out of the woodwork and ran up to the stage and took a CD from Lmo’s hand. I was shocked. I thought there couldn’t have been more than 20 patrons in the place. And they left as soon as they got their free CD. A few years later, I saw those CDs advertised on the Internet for outrageous 3-figure prices. Who were these collectors, and how did they know?

  101. S_E, I watch a steady stream of videos from ICE operations and protests in the Twin Cities. Just amazing. What is going on there? Have you seen this firsthand.

  102. The voice has a strong note of haughty, performative indignation.

    I have always loved the word “haughty” since reading Casey at the Bat in grade 7. What a treasured piece of golden age Americana.

    Glad that communist got ice’d.

  103. I dnt think it’s feasible to remove all the browns and blacks from USA borders;

    We need to remigrate millions, and millions more will and are self-deporting with the creation of a “hostile environment.” It was Theresa May’s government in the Yookay who coined this term, when they were sort of trying to get serious about cracking down on immigration, with a series of high-profile raids and deportations.

    For the blacks, it’s simple – re-segregation. Schools and housing – no question, and easily done. When your kids can go to school and play sports all day in a n-free zone, and when you can play in your neighbourhood, you’ve eliminated 90% of your problems. Parks and swimming pools – segregated. Just stay off publick transit. Shopping malls you probably have to keep open but you can always have security guards and hardcore surveillance combined with ruthless law enforcement. Allow restaurants to decide whom they will serve, they will quickly self-segregate. I’d say golf courses and libraries but they’re already segregated lol (meaning you evict all bums from libraries).

  104. I didn’t know he’s married… guess he’s not gay after all.

    They are spiritually gay.

    Guy I’ve worked with for over 15 years on and off. He always been norwooded so always looked old but ran into him after not seeing him in 5 or 6 years and he looked terribly old. Had a gay pride button on his backpack (yes, adult backpack club. very gay). Said he and his wifé frivorced a few years ago, he’s now living in a little condo with his “son”. I always remembered him talking about his “daughter”. So the guy could have turned gay, which is entirely possible, he trans’d his son (entirely possible), and he’s just become an overall loser of a man. Sad! Another guy who reports to me at work, 30 years old, fully norwooded, a ridiculous looking hipster leftist with a soylent phsyiognomy and an uptalk voice. Hardcore leftist, no car, transitcel, “tries to not eat meat”, all the usual brainwashed communist BS. Working to get him fired, HR is just making me go through a lot of hoops. He crossed me one day at work and I thought, that’s it, I’m coming down on you hard and I’m going to make you unemployable.

  105. @AOF

    PALMA: Just remember that the system is designed to stop them getting knocked up by gormless betas like Lady Edwina.

    Are you thinking of “the system” as being akin to the “Limbic System”, which controls our most powerfully emotional responses to external stimulae; in particular, our instantaneous decisions [over which we have no control] to e.g. decide whether, “To Phuck or Not to Phuck, that is the question”?

    Yes

    Meaning are you thinking in terms of biologically innate & uncontrollable instantaneous decisions such as, “To Phuck or Not to Phuck?

    Yes

    Meaning meaning that her Limbic System [i.e. her hindbrain] ought to prevent her [at least when she’s sober] from accepting, into her birth canal, seed from sub-optimal young men?

    Yes, that’s what it’s all about. Avoiding impregnation by sub optimal seed. It’s only a threat when the eggs start to drop and she has to get up to speed fast at that point so she doesn’t make any mistakes.

  106. Hey P. Smurf-

    That’s rough, gramps. Rough.

  107. Have you seen this firsthand.

    well, I seen it firsthand indirectly over the course of the last 20+ years; Minneapolis used to be an alright place, but now it’s ground zero the worst place in the world

    if you go down to Portland and Lake Street, anywhere within a few blocks of the bullshit, what they do, the protestors, is face check you, and if they get the feeling you are not one of them, they will harass you, or block your car, that sorta thing

    it’s frustrating on so many levels, I can’t really talk about it

    people in the suburbs where I am at, are generally not liberal dipshits, but a lot of the women are, and a lot of the men are infected; the closer you get to the urban areas the worse it is

  108. Diagalon streams used to always advise “find your people” and that’s all there is to say about it.

    might be worth repeating that the ICE actions are not really gonna re-instate White demographics: half the ICE officers themselves, are hispanic

    but they are the side of Law and Order

    it’s kinda my opinion that it’s a masterful theater act, for Trump to reclaim a throne of authority, as someone who can bring order and, maybe eventually prosperity

    which is not to say it’s not real, but the classic conspiracy 101 from way back, is this is their ploy to get us back in line and supportive of their state powers: or as the p_! meme might put it: taps the sign

    but I am not sold on that interpretation, and even if that’s how it is, it’s so effective in straining out the libs, and their awfulness, that I really dnt care if that’s their game, it’s still a winning move, or at the least, it’s a huge improvement

  109. if you can be a happy and healthy shitlord, that is victory; (if you can do so without having fambly of your own, that is a neat trick indeed)

    you can’t argue or engage with the protestors in a meaningful way: any engagement with them, other than a bat to the head, is a victory for them: they are starving for attn and validation: they should be cut off completely

    my time on these shores is coming to an end; I have my concerns for the younger people I know, but at the same time, their fate may already be sealed, if the vax doomers are right

  110. Perfect contrition is to be more fearful of offending God than personally suffering the torments of hell.

    This is very helpful.

  111. Dopesick (2018): I finally finished reading. Highly recommended, with a few things to keep in mind that I noted in the previous thread. The author Beth Macy does an excellent job documenting the opioid addiction crisis in the Appalachia, focusing on the remote, far-southwestern corner of Virginia. The book goes over the historical context of overperscribing of opium and heroin to Civil War veterans and later to addicted Vietnam vets as part of the history of greed, hubris and zero-regulation driving the pushing of addictive substances onto patients. That, along with purposeful ignoring of doctors going back two centuries who gave warnings about these things.

    The modern crisis as covered in the book, began in 1996 with the development of painkiller Oxycontin that was aggressively prescribed across the Appallachian region. She describes the perfect storm of closing of factories and regulation-driven closing of coal mines, making the addiction crisis the disease of despair.

  112. Macy calls out the Sackler family, along with their pharma company’s top executives who were the defendants in the 2007 trial that broke Purdue Pharma. On trial was their aggressive and unethical marketing of the painkiller via the company’s sales reps. The orgy of marketing of opioids to doctors is a wild thing to read about. Macy isn’t shy about calling out the jay – angle of the Sacklers and the three Purdue executives on trial, even making a less-than-reverent swipe about one of them hiding behind the holo-something card.

    The book then makes a causal link between the prescription pill addiction and the heroin and later fentanyl scourge that by 2010 was brought to the region and hit the middle classes. She now focuses on an affluent part of Roanoke, telling stories of several families (who cooperated with Macy in writing the book) who watched their once very-promising high school student sons and daughters destroy their lives. First through recreational use of the painkiller, then by a full on addiction to heroin which was cheaper and easier to acquire. The infrastructure of production, delivery, and distribution of heroin she outlines, is interesting in terms of how it all worked. Especially once cell phones made open air drug markets — which were easier for law enforcement to deal with — obsolete.

    There is the story in the book about Ronnie Jones, a black dealer who introduced heroin to the mostly-White Roanoke region, directly destroying thousands of lives. He’s now serving a 23-year sentence in a federal penitentiary.

    One of the most compelling aspects of the book is the tragic lives of addicts she profiles throughout. The people she writes about are all White. Working class in the case of coal mine country, upper middle professional class in Roanoke. After it was published, various leftoids did criticize the book over its explicit sympathy for the White demographic that the book covers.

  113. The prologue of Dopesick is Macy’s car drive to the federal penitentiary to interview Ronnie Jones for the book. One of the book’s final chapters was her six hour conversation with Jones. No redemption arc for him, Macy writes. Even as she gives Jones his supposed due taking seriously his tales of experiences with racisms that had led him to become the top of the heroin distribution network that afflicted western Virginia. As Macy notes, he’s shown zero remorse or care about the destruction he had caused. No surprises there, with appealing to a n_’s sense of decency.

    In a nice rhetorical touch, Macy writes, to paraphrase: “Christopher and Tess [two of the addicted young people in the story] are in their graves, Ronnie Jones in his prison garb is looking thinner and more grey than in his earlier media photos during his trial, and the Sacklers, at some-billion net worth, have slipped from number five to number eight wealthiest families in the US.”

    The book is a 2 on the 0-1-2 scale. Will reread. The book, which is a documentary, has its weak point. Women are capable of tremendous Moral Zeal. This is the spirit that makes Dopesick a great book. But women lack a sense of Justice. That would be under the domain of men. Macy is an excellent writer, clear thinker and highly knowledgeable, thorough with her research. She genuinely loves the subject of her book: the forsaken White people of the Appalachia in the broad sense and the young middle class addicts and their mothers who she had become friends with during the writing of Dopesick.

    The female moral zeal is good with small-scale solutions, with individual human cases. The female absence of the sense of justice, however, clouds big-picture judgements. It can also render them coldly indifferent to people who are collateral damage of the object of their sympathy, such as the addict’s aggrieved siblings.

    The weak parts of the book are exactly these occasional big-picture points she makes. The book was written early during Trump’s first term, and she criticizes him a lot in the context of the book’s subject. She also sometimes reverts to the womanish Trust The Science posture. Macy comes across as an old school populist liberal, which isn’t entirely a bad thing. Her criticism of the Clinton administration and his economic arguments in favor of moving manufacturing abroad is spot-on.

    Those flaws are minor, though, and don’t affect the overall quality, which is first rate. Again, a great book. Something I did while reading it, was to look up every place she mentions on google streetview. A black lung clinic in the remote hamlet St. Charles Virginia, a park in a remote area where Macy and a local deputy met with an informant… all kinds of such places. Also the individuals in the story. As judges or federal prosecutors, they are easy to find on the internet in the context of news articles from that period.

    There is a particularly based federal agent who brought down Ronnie Jones and got him the long sentence. He talked with Macy a good deal as part of her writing this book. But also the various doctors, young addicts and their families, who have facebook pages. There are several addicts/families whose stories are woven through the entire book. One is Christopher, who was a star football player in high school who o.d. and died. Another is Tess, who was a promising student from a wealthy family who became a prostitute and was ultimately found murdered in a dumpster in Las Vegas. That’s not a spoiler, the deaths are told early on in the book.

    Excellent book, well written and recommended.

  116. Exactly a year ago I almost went to Roanoke for a weekend to see the two rail museums they have there. The downtown has a swank hotel from a remodeled 1915 bank building right across the street from the museums. I got cold feet at the last minute because everything, the hotel and the Amtrak tickets, was too expensive. I still want to go because Roanoke was one of the most important train towns in the country, where I think Norfolk and Western built and maintained their own locomotives up to the early 1960s, and I am a train buff. I just wonder what the downtown is like. Too many places I’ve been to you’re in the small nice downtown restored zone, and then you turn the corner and there’s nothing or worse. It’s bizarre, I could imagine being in that swank hotel with its five star restaurant and having everything close early, even on a Saturday night, and then find it hard or impossible to find a place within walking distance where they even had some Old Milwaukee and Slim Jims.

  117. Northwest of there and into the mountains is Clifton Forge, a very nice town. Rail wise, they have a small, no frills Amtrak station there with the line that connects US Northeast and Chicago. And nearby a train museum with a vintage coal engine and ancient passenger, dining, and luxury cars. I was there on two occasions ten-plus years ago. There is a state park nearby where we were camping.

  118. Meant to add this about Clifton Forge. A few years after my two visits there, Roosh featured the town in his 2019 road trip memoir American Pilgrim. It was one of the first stops on his voyage. He had good things to say about the town as well.

    PS: happy to see that Bella Pizza is still there, survived Covid… It’s a small freestanding building. Had excellent food and they served draft beer in a chilled glass jar.

  119. This is a good interview. Much better than expected. About 2/3s in he discusses his experience with Ayahuasca and his judgement to Hell. He is very articulate in his description.

  122. I thought I had posted it. I’ll post it this afternoon when I get home. I’m subbing a class full of blicks and can’t post it now. The interview is done by Tucker Carlson. I never much cared for Cernovich before but respect him now after listening to this interview.

  123. Came across an IG post that referenced the same issue of the nonWhites not giving a flip about the dead dyk3.

    Also saw a video of some man getting harassed by a protestor, using a megaphone to blast him and he had enough and started swinging. Man, a southpaw, had a mean series of punches. Video then shows some goober pencil neck taking off his gloves to get ready to throw down, the man squares him up just right and knocks him out. Goober falls like a tree in the woods, only everyone heard it.

    Was out and about Saturday. Nothing worth talking about, no action. Did see a nice looking gal. She was there with a chubby friend and then later some goober joined them. Not sure if goober was bf of fatty or cute gal, despite him sitting next to fatty.

    Not the point of the story. It was when I went to new-old-haunt and ran into some, I guess boomers, whom I had met last summer. We were chiming in about the “Quality Learing Center” and all that hubbub. Always feels good to talk common sense out in the real world. You know, the folk that get “it.”

  124. imagine if u will, the following in greentxt

    • Karen Dogwalker just tried to mog me
    • go out for dogwalk, this other dogwalker turns corner and is behind me by about 40 feet
    • it’s at an awkward distance, I look back to see her following and tentatively maybe crossing the street, for some reason, putatively to keep our dogs separate but really just being a bitch
    • she is a confident older woman, but not really: IOW she is opposed to ICE rounding up the titillating dicks of color
    • we are going the same direction and come up to an intersection that you have to look carefully blah blah blah
    • dogwalking on suburb streets in the winter kinda sucks
    • I turn around to face her, and she says, and this is the crucial detail: Which way are you going?
    • I am a little bit cut, as in taking by surprise; the nerve of this bitch!
    • I turn my back on her and go my way
    • she was putatively asking so that we didn’t have to walk around the block together, awkwardly, and honestly it’s not totally the weirdest thing in the world, to extend that courtesy
    • but it’s really an example of women thinking they can call the shots

    there is a thing in chimpanzee troupes, where the dominant alpha — and there can be only one — gets a surge of hormones and his face becomes a huge ugly scary monster face, and every other male chimp in the troupe, has a meek little submissive face; this really happens, and you just know that Life Milestone Missers, which it the going name of my band which is totally going to happen anyday now, you just know that they too, in human societies, they suffer a homologous fate

    she woulda never tried that shit on the Marlboro Man

  125. she doesn’t necessarily think she is being rude, but by any token of street cred, or real life, asking a man, one you have never met and dnt know from Adam, outta the blue, which way he is going, is so presumptuous, it was really a good example of those women being bossy, and not even knowing it

    you can’t even leave your door without the shit being flung at your face

  126. the new name of the band was misstated in the previous poast, the actual name is Lifestage Milestone Missers

    I dnt mind if you use/steal it, but maybe work in a h/t in the lyrics to one of the b-sides

    the previous going name for this band which is totally going to happen, as I have said here before, was The Townie Burnouts, but that never got started, for lack of motivation, ironically enough; but then I heard on The Current, the hipster public radio station, a contempo indy alternative style band, millennials most likely, called The Townies, so that name is a wash

    honestly Lifestage MIlestone Missers is funnier by a country mile, so there’s that

Easy read that I recommend as it works in many areas of life, while it’s main focus delves into business.

    In addition to muh theory of Marriage Famblies versus Divorce Famblies, muh new psycho-sociological fascination is with Women who chose their men, versus Men who chose their women.

    It sounds like that woman was trying to choose you, and you let her get away.

    Keep us informed…

  130. Huh, never even thought of it that way. Seems like I’m leaving a lot on the table. Seems.

    So are the Marriage Famblies ones where the woman does the choosing and vice versa?

  131. I haven’t yet thought of Marriage Famblies as being maternally oriented versus paternally oriented; I’ve only thought of them as being more or less fundamentally loyal personalities versus fundamentally disloyal personalities.

    But I am absolutely certain that there is an emerging trend towards women very much wanting to choose their husbands [primarily, in my mind, so that the women can then subsequently dominate their husbands within the post-wedding domicile].

    I’ve seen that pattern with Beta Providers; the Beta Provider kinda/sorta suspects that his waifu is taking Alpha D on the side, but the Beta Provider seems to have made peace with the idea of a straying waifu; because, to the Beta Provider, second-hand p00nt@ng is better than simply m@sturb@ting into the palm of his hand…

    And then there’s the question of whether there are indeed Beta Providers who become licentiously/lasciviously aroused by the thought of being cuckolded by an Alpha…

  132. this pasta is making the rounds; I hate to be a downer, but going fwd, it really needs to be included, in this observation, that clipping out the kids dicks, in the jewish (American) way, contributes to the described effect/affect, it’s part-n-parcel of making society matriarchal and eventually society just stops working and collapses cuz too much estrogen; see for example Minneapolis women going out, hitting the streets, looking for action; yes they need to be fucked into submission, but it’s sorta like with a dead tree: once you see the problem, it’s kinda too late: once the women are like this, society is cooked, there is no fucking them back to sanity

  133. Elk: it’s part-n-parcel of making society matriarchal

    In retrospect, (((they))) have likely been doing this for millennia.

    Without knowing anything about the history of the situation whatsoever, I’d bet dollars to donuts that that was how (((they))) brought down Louis XVI in 1793.

    In fact, that’s likely why the French rallied around vastly more masculine men, such as Robespierre and Napoleon; by the turn of the Century, the French must have been sick to death of the effeminacy.

    They believe that the essence of what we call God is impossible to comprehend or know on an intimate level. This is why they hate the incarnation of God as Jesus and decry it as polytheism, which will be a crime punishable by death under Noahide.

    They believe that “It” (Ein Sof) created God, and that the Christian God damned us to inhabiting a broken material world with bodies. They believe creation was an accident and a mistake. They believe that Ein Sof existed in a state of perfected blissful light in a state of nothingness that was shattered into thousands of broken pieces during creation.

    (((They))) believe that they possess as individuals the light that makes up Ein Sof (Pelagianism). It is their job to direct the course of human history, to rebuild the face of Ein Sof. It is only through this project (Tikkum Olan) that Ein Sof will come to know itself.

    This process will culminate with some kind of messianic reign (our antichrist) and then humanity existing in a post human state where it gets absorbed into the light of Ein Sof and disappears forever.

    Christianity is a state of being with God, Kabbalistic/Gnostic Judaism is a process of becoming.

    When understood through this lens, the Millennial movement of Joachim de Fiore, the Lutheran revolt, the French revolution, the Bolshevik revolution, the sexual revolution, and now the transhumanist revolution that will bring about the digital AI beast system(that Trump is an ardent of supporter of) all make sense.

    They all want to create a heaven on earth and be their own god.

  138. Not entirely off topic, but the GOP appointments to the Supreme Court seem to be ready to vote against trannies in skrewl sports.

    Cross your fingers.

    At some point, if the Empire is gonna be an empire, then the Empire’s gotta strike back.

  139. Cernovich breaks down the most important aspect of God’s plan for us in the Ayahuasca/Descent into Hell vision discussion he had with Tucker Carlson, learning to love those who are closest to us. Ironically, he says exactly what Howard Storm said he internalized the most from his NDE and full press interview with God and his principle angels. The Ayahuasca part starts at 1:32:00. I never listened to the parts before 1:32 as it is about the Maduro capture and its consequences. I prefer to listen to Alex Krainer about that. Father Ianuzzi just put out a video about the Chastisement being delayed. Ianuzzi is a good philosopher, HGG less so. Vox never said anything that the Church fathers hadn’t already said. Vox is a bright guy but can’t hold a candle to Father Ianuzzi or even Bishop Williamson on spiritual matters. No Protestant can. Anyhow, I found this discussion to have been profound, not least because of the obvious emotional impact it had on Cernovich. He chokes back tears throughout the entire discussion. He was obviously taught a lesson in humility, which is the first step to wisdom.

  140. That Naiomi Wolf thing is totally correct.

    They can ackshuly be fucked into submission. And they want to be. It’s not the actual physical fucking that creates the submission, though it helps, but the mindset of the man making them submit. A man that intends to, and knows that he is able to (had the confidence and competence) make them submit is what’s necessary.

    Of course he has to be able to and believe he can in the face of her propaganda that “she won’t submit to no man” however this is just a shit test which is more societal than anything directed at an individual.

    It’s a feedback loop. 

    That ^^ is what they need. And she’s right it’s sorely lacking in a large sector of society

    who for the best part are unable to do anything physical. 

    You see it very clearly when ya do physical work in their houses. Here in Engrand where houses are routinely 100+ years old and have been messed about with sometimes you get a curved ball when you try to work on them.

    Current case in point, working on a large house installing a heat recovery system and need to get ducting over a foot wide through a wall in one of the several lofts, but looking at it in the loft space the brickwork is too unstable to either put a lintol or diamond core drill and so I have to say to the customer that we’re going to have to take out that thar ceiling, go through the hole with a shit ton of steel props and hold up the even more literal shit tons of brickwork on the end of the house and re build everything under it to re stabilise. 

    So it’s this situation where they’re really exposed and the lack of general physical ability in society hits home. 

    When you see how they react in the face of physical competence (and it’s the same with any physical competence) you understand it.

    The main question is whether you actually WANT to duck them in the first place…

    Happy New Year all by the way, I’ve been off the grid for the bulk of Xmas

  141. So to answer Elks point, I dunno if they can be fucked back to sanity, but for the best part they can be fucked back to submission / under control for temporary periods of time until they need to be fucked into submission again. 

    It’s the comfort they feel. They don’t want to be the girl boss, but they need comfort in the competence of the man to submit to him.

    When the bulk of “men” can’t even make a decent cofvefee that’s a big ask.

  142. Oner, do you have some ISBN numbers for the kabbalah, or some URLs for Samizdat [truthful, honest] translations of the kabbalah?

    Thanks in advance.

  143. Palma, always wonderful [and inspiring] to hear from you.

    I wish we could convince Fast Eddie to make as many purebl00ded babies as you’ve already made.

    FedEx, USPS, UPS, DHL, I don’t care.

    I just want those purebl00ded children to be conceived and born of White seed and White wombs.

    That’s all I care about anymore.

    Save as many White children as possible.

  144. in a surprise twist, ICE is actually now authorized, in the back of their vans, to have their way with all detainees

    will this exacerbate or alleviate problem behavior? tune in next week

  145. Scott Adams, when he came on the scene back circa 1990 with Dilbert which was published in the comics page of the dinosaur media, he was such a breath of fresh air, and so heads-n-shoulders above everyone else.

    on X, Owen Benjamin is just ripping the hell out of him, nothing but nastiness; totally un-followed

    and other haters are saying his deathbed “come to Jesus” was tainted by the humor he used in it, as if they are qualified to evaluate his sincerity

    whatever it was that makes for the elusive thing called Talent, he had it

    but the thing about his philososphizing; he was all into being a “persuader” I think he called it; that was such a weird sideline; like he is this cartoonist, easily the most famous and accomplished in the country, easily the top spot, but then he makes his brand about being a “persuader” and no one even knows what one of those is, and he is talking about these magical hypnotic powers that he is??

    it was hard to tell whether it was self parody, a sort of put-on, but I dnt think it was, it was just his eccentric personality took center stage, for some reason it had the chance and was given rein to do so, and it really threw him off, and prolly was directly lead to his death and downfall

    in any case he admitted he was wrong re the injections of ruin my life now plz, tho some have criticized him for hedging on his mea culpa

  146. somewhat relatedly, I wz listening to Alex Jones yesterday, and a caller called in and said he was a new father and wanted Alex’s takes on the childhood vacciner [no sic] schedules, and Alex held the line totally, and said that he himself would not give his kids any vaccines at all; he also said that he had 3 kids and none of them got any vaccines, except for one teenager who chose to get injected with a dose of ruin my life now plz, against his advise, but Alex was not willing to talk about it in more depth cuz said teenager is still a minor

    in any case, I thought it was interesting that Alex held onto that position, and credit where due, that has ALWAYS been his position: he predicted “vaccines of death” like 30 years ago, or maybe it was 25, but his tagline re vaccines was, most droll indeed: Enjoy Your Death

    nb5-skin was the caller who called up and asked him for his take on childhood vaccinations, a set-up? maybe but can we at least pretend that it’s not and that Alex is a good guy?

    nbsex-haver did AJ clip out his sons’ dick(s) or has he opined on that, any which way?

  147. Alex’s youngest son/child, IIRC, during Scovid he got one dosage of ruin my life now plz, against his father’s wishes, and apparently there are consequent health problems, is what he said on his show last night, and he would be willing to elaborate once said kid is no longer a minor.

  148. What the heck was that vidya all about?

    Gotta confess that the ability of the Council of the Sanhedrin to dial up, immediately, on demand, violent, potentially murd3rous street protests, is quite a spectacle to behold.

    To the best of muh knowledge, we don’t have any instantaneous w@r-making capacity like that on our side.

    At least not yet.

  149. OF

    Kabbalah itself is a school of thought centered around Rabbinic Jewish mysticism.

    There are several books that are the pillars of Kabbalah, but the Zohar, authored by Moses de Leon in the 13th century, is the foundational work.

  150. SD, Hawkwind’s Sonic Attack was wicked harsh. My favorite Hawkwind song is breezy and pleasant and mellow sounding, but the lyrics have quite a message for us: “Fable of a Failed Race.” I was surprised to find on You Tube that they played this seemingly studio-only song live in Belgium or the Netherlands in 1978 when it came out. The extended mix of the studio version on youtube is the best. It goes on forever but never gets boring. No one ever seems to mention this song, not even most Hawkwind fans.

  151. OF

    Had to deal with a passive aggressive coworker (male). Luckily do not work with the guy often. I expect this from women, not men. It elicits very visceral anger and disgust.

    I find your connection to this defective behavior as a staple of maintaining the current parasite system profound.

    On that note, I always feel like my energy levels take a hit immediately after talking to these types until I realize who I am dealing with and can make sense of it.

    For that I thank you. Probably would have taken me much longer to figure out had it not been for your comments on this phenomenon.

  152. Hearing the Hawkwind song Fable of a Failed Race brought out my inner rock critic and for the umpteenth time made me wonder why some songs from classic rock bands that are just as good as or better than their overplayed fellows are almost ignored. Few if any of the below were played on classic rock radio when I listened to it. They would have livened up the place considerably.

    Black Sabbath “Wheels of Confusion”
    Led Zeppelin “Achilles’ Last Stand,” “Carouselambra [the dirge for the Viking king part, not the fake disco part]”
    Rolling Stones “Coming Down Again”
    AC/DC “Bedlam in Belgium”
    Allman Brothers Band “Come and Go Blues”
    Aerosmith “Movin Out”
    Motorhead “Mean Machine”*
    Blue Oyster Cult “I Love the Night”
    Deep Purple “Burn”
    Buffalo Springfield, the long hardrock version of “Bluebird”
    Guns and Roses “Reckless Life”

    *A joke. They were never played on classic rock radio.

    That’s only the tip of the iceberg. Classic rock radio was (is?) so narrowly restrictive. The format might be dead, I don’t know.

  153. was a mistake to signal boost him, cuz that is what it was about: negative attn getting

    Adams’ fall and half-ass redemption arc is, however, an interesting topic; but maybe give him a few days of rest first, haha

    lurved the Cernovich interview btw; totally (not) going off to do
    Ayahuasca; am glad to have gone thru my crazy drug using days in a different era, when that was not on the table of possibility; fwiw it was on the very distant margins of said table, but you had to be real hard core questing adventure crazy person, to hook up with a legit South American shaman; now u just look ’em up online and it takes 20 minutes to book ur appt to the Realm of the Dead, and, yeah, you really go there, and come back on a recurring loop, and feel the Snake of Existence crawling in and out of your skin for this measly life until it stops.. good times?

  154. I hero dosed on LSD in my young 20s and it did not do my life-staginess any favors.

    Cernovich’s descriptions of going to church and “not feeling it” were really relatable. Adams had that same approach to God and church and Jesus and not being saved. the whole God is Dead thing, it’s not necessarily deliberate nihilism, it’s more about how the music at church is lacking feeling and not hitting like it mighta once did

    the way I wrote about it, a few months ago, is by describing the bible as the dullest fucking book, in the world; it’s like, what is this shit? where’s the exciting part that makes sense of the pre Flood world, the giants and the yetis and the Little People, who — without a doubt — are all real and part of the history that the Catholic Church knows about and is deciding that we dnt get to hear, cuz we are just peons and not up for it

    and then the fact that this is a Christian country and at the same time, subject to jewish predations?

    all that said, I take Adams’ deathbed formulation, his very recent take on “come to Jesus,” as totally reasonable: like, the risk reward, Pascal’s gambit, whatever

    but yeah, not really feeling it

    like Cernovich said: there will be a Judgement Day, and your heart will be weighed; and it really is as simple as that

  155. am not an expert and have not done Ayahuasca, but the Snake of Existence, which phrase is not the standard phrase I am just using it in this poast, Cernovich talks about that in his trips, and it’s also in Conan, and the Doors “ride the snake”

    and also supposedly the double helix.. so maybe there is two snakes

    but it would be the very thread of existence, the force behind the manifestation of this physical world, it is as big as the universe and has scales; it’s not the same thing the biblical snake, but the biblical snake might be a sorta limited fractal of it

  156. SE,

    glad you liked the Cernovich interview. I thought it was good and also enlightening. Cernovich looking 20 years older and like road kill added to the effect.

  157. we dnt gotta talk about my crisis of faith, blah blah blah it’s tedious on this end too, but I was remarking on both those guys making that same very relatable point, which goes back to the famous 19th c. line that God is Dead

    nb4 better people will feel more of God in their lives; at the same time it can seem a bit of a put-on, but if you are really feeling it, more power to you; the institutions that represent the church in this land, have not done the best job, in my opinion

    on another topic, apparently this story is national news: local Target, ICE busts in and arrests two “Jose Gonzales” and tackle them and van them, and it’s all on phones, and then it turns out they are US Citizens, and now this story gets national play, and ICE really looks like a bunch of knuckleheaded assholes

    I am not getting soft, but worth repeating that if the goal is actually reducing illegal immigration, or God forbid representing Heritage America, the notion that the going ICE tactics and strategy of hitting Target hard, to get like one or two Jose Gonzalesses, and batting zero on that mission, when there are how many 10s of millions of necessary missions — this is the worst strategy and tactics, and they not actually going after the problem

    it’s a show

  158. Oner, do you see any high quality “Zohar” books in the following list:

    https://tinyurl.com/4w2mpd9n

    Most of what’s for sale on the greater internet seems to be offered by the “Pritzker” clan.

    [Go figure.]

    A few years ago, wasn’t there a goy Bro who set out to translate the Talmud?

    I’d be interested in any quality links you have.

  159. they are deliberately upping the police tactics, under the guise of Look At Me: We are the Good Guys Now

    this is not the droids we are looking for

    all that said, they still are the good guys, but cue the /p_!/ meme anbd tap the sign, ffs: it’s an op in order to get Heritage America, on the side of consolidated power

    sorta related, was listening to some effin X space on Iran last night, and there is a guy going by “Tehran Matt” [can’t make this shit up] and he wz so Military Intelligence that it was ridiculous, but according to him, we are American and Iran will fall in line cuz they will have no choice, cuz we are America

    Iran is just another rainbow color flag op, right?

    Putin isn’t gonna let that fly, is he? is Putin on the plans, on some level?

  160. Oner, when the Hive Mind of Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder is playing on its own turf, and playing by its own rules, the Hive Mind is simply OMNIPOTENT.

    There’s nothing you can do but shut your mouth, feign obeyance, and hold your cranium perfectly still, so much so that the Passive Aggressive turds all around you cannot sense that you’re secretly shaking your damned hea-yud at them [and up in your cranium, rolling your secondary lizard eyes at them].

    Act like a young dawg who just lost his first big dogfight, and make sure that all the jackasses get the sense of pleasure that your tail is hiding firmly between your legs as you walk away in mock disgrace.

    Attempting to fight them will ruin your life.

    SRSLY, you gotta very surreptitiously inhale and release a large volume of air [gently and perfectly silently], and empty your brain of any sense of reason, talent, desire, or purpose.

    Go stone cold retard on them, and then they’ll be satiated, because they’ve got a new whipping boy to be whipped.

    Always breath with your tummy muscles [your “diaphragm”], and relax your jaw completely [leaving it wide open, like a complete idiot], so that, amongst other things, you don’t make the mistake of grinding your teeth in their presence.

    Simply grinding your teeth is a sign of their mastery of your psychological state.

    And above all else: DO NOT GIVE A DAMN!!!

    Insouciance For The Win.

  161. they’re doing checkpoints on SUV’s or otherwise conservative-coded gear and cars and trucks, and deciding who gets to pass

    Walz — plz note correct pronounce, not directed to anyone in particular — is egging them on

    the “they” doing these checkpoints is busybody fagg_ts and Karens, typical lip dipshits

  162. I can’t find the link, but they are hassling SUV’s etc, on the basis that they look like ICE vehicles.

    it’s really to talk tough about shit, but the reality is, u dnt wanna have to run people down, cuz your life from that point on is, at best, a huge mess

    but in practical terms it means Avoid Crowds, or avoid those people, as much as possible

    I am disappointed with some halfway normal normie NPC’s I know, like for instance one guy just today told me about the Target ICE raid, and he was sympathetic to the “teenager” who was apprehended. I told him that ICE would have their version of the story too, and he said that it was “on the national news” and I said that doesn’t make it true, and he said “they had the video.”

    I am not face blind, but some people are not obv shitlibs, but you give them the benefit of the doubts, but they disappoint you.

    it’s worth re-mentioning the theme (one of many themes) of Civil War II by Thomas Chittum, he said that the name of the game as it got poppin’, was false fronts, whatever it’s called in the actual combat trades, where people pretend to be on one side, to draw you out, but are actually on the other

    I am not really into being a pussy, but the reality, going into their hotspots, I would recommend not doing it, and if you have to, be willing to conceal What Type of American u r.

  163. Saw some photos of their handiwork last night. This is insane. Seriously, what is wrong with those people. I mean, I think I know the answer but dagnabit if that ain’t some demonic activity.

    Would this be going on if the Vikings were in the playoffs?

  164. edit– it’s really EZ to talk tough about shit, but the reality is, u dnt wanna have to run people down, cuz your life from that point on is, at best, a huge mess

    I dnt wanna be in that situation, of having to make the choice of

    a) running over pedestrians, or

    b) lying to them, and placating them basically, and saying I am not ICE or something to that effect

    they will try and make you placate them, that is what went down in the video, like try and see where your allegiance lies, and if you aren’t to go to the mat, and you are all alone??

    that said, I dnt think I can falsely represent my side, at this point

    otoh, like Chittum describes, in the actual event, it’s a different calculation

  165. Those ideological fratricides can get nasty. There is the scene in Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls” set during the Spanish Civil War. One of the characters tells an eyewitness account of villagers identifying those neighbors of the other side and beating them with flails then throwing them off a cliff. That was fiction but people did nasty things during that war. And to hell with Western writers of that time who sided with the Communists.

  166. ELK: that said, I dnt think I can falsely represent my side, at this point

    Then keep your d@mned mouf shut.

    We need you alive, not un-alived.

    Only ever intervene if you’re 100% certain that you are helping someone [or some group of people] on our side.

    Intentionally allowing yourself to get un-alived by these creeps would be a ridiculously asinine Error of Category.

    [Obviously, if you get sucked into a melee, against your will, then you have to fight your way out, but the key is to never get sucked into the melee in the first place. I wouldn’t offer an helping hand to anyone unless I knew with certainty that they were Pro-Life and Anti-V@xx. To hell with everyone else.]

  167. Did Hemingway side with the communists? I’m not sure. His history is strange, being friends with Gertrude Stein. The Killers is a great story but his other stuff didn’t move me. I tried to read his short stories about hunting in Michigan, but they seemed flat.

    Give me George Pelecanos any time. F. Scott Fitzgerald was better.

  168. Other songs from classic rock bands that are just as good as or better than their overplayed fellows, picking up on MHF’s comment yesterday:

    Sarah MacLachlan “Ol 55” (cover)

    R.E.M. “You Are The Everything”

    The Eagles “The Last Resort”

    B-52s “Topaz”

  169. It was the Communists that committed most, if not all of the attrocities in the Spanish Civil War. It’s why I’ve never really liked Hemingway.

  170. — It was the Communists that committed most, if not all of the attrocities

    Sounds right. Related — in my mid-twenties I read Arthur Koestler’s autobiography. He was a J born in Hungary but either a German or a British citizen during the time of the Spanish Civil War, I don’t recall. He was involved in the war as a foreign volunteer in some capacity on the Communist side, and captured by the Loyalists. As he told it in the book, he was sentenced to death by firing squad but that kept being delayed and ultimately, he was released in response to the appeals from his European associates. I think he was already a somewhat know writer at that point. Even then in 1994, reading the autobiography with sympathy to the author and not feeling like I have a dog in that fight, it struck me that the Fascists were frustratingly too nice.

  171. “It was the Communists that committed most, if not all of the atrocities” – SD

    “it struck me that the Fascists were frustratingly too nice” – PA

    The above notions connect with my upthread review of Beth Macy’s book Dopesick:

    Women are capable of tremendous Moral Zeal. This is the spirit that makes Dopesick a great book. But women lack a sense of Justice. That would be under the domain of men. Macy is an excellent writer, clear thinker and highly knowledgeable, thorough with her research. She genuinely loves the subject of her book: the forsaken White people of the Appalachia in the broad sense and the young middle class addicts and their mothers who she had become friends with during the writing of Dopesick.

    The female moral zeal is good with small-scale solutions, with individual human cases. The female absence of the sense of justice, however, clouds big-picture judgements. It can also render them coldly indifferent to people who are collateral damage of the object of their sympathy, such as the addict’s aggrieved siblings.

    Relating this to the insanity of the Spanish Civil War and the shit going on in Minneapolis today. The Left is feminine and the Right is masculine, with their respective strengths and weaknesses. The Left’s effeminate moral zeal spirals into a cannibalistic feeding frenzy. The Right’s male-brain sense of justice tends to moral paralysis, absent a spirit of conviction in the justness of their own fight.

  172. OT: today, the Ides of January 2026, I abandoned my last sliver of hope that I can live with nons.

    It’s a decent yarn. I would like to share it. But … my ñ33gʻř0ŵ fatigue has overwhelmed me and it wouldn’t be much new to you. It’s like HAL on 2001: A Space Odyssey. MYMINDISGOING

    I want to tell the tale, but you all know it. Try contacting a government entity where the person making decisions is a … [ahem] “sister”. When you can’t cross the 30-IQ-point gap, she claims harassment and you get a black [sic] mark on your file.

    I didn’t even raise my voice. I tried extra hard to be nice. I brought my wife because she can charm ANYBODY! …except a melaninite, we finally accepted today. There is no cure for what ails them

    I’ve shared before, I live in a mostly blissful all-White town in a very White county. I wouldn’t know where to find a 8láçķ, but sure enough, I found an obese female one employed at the govt office I needed. It’s a meme.

  173. Reread Crane’s Red Badge of Courage recently. They made us read it in middle school, but I think that was too early, and I didn’t get it. It is an adult novel. I didn’t know til recently Crane was one of Hemingway’s heros, good on Hemingway. Red Badge is a fine fine novel.

    I’m glad I visited the Chancellorsville/Wilderness national battlefield in the 2000s. Crane never mentioned geography, but it is said it was the Chancellorsville battle in Red Badge. When I was there I noticed a strange and wonderful river-naming scheme. Virginia has the Mattaponi River, and as you go upstream it divides into tributaries called Mat, Ta, Po, and Ni. The Ni river, really a stream, crosses the battlefield and there is a plaque, otherwise I would have not known

  174. Don’t know if anyone here reads the Nicholas Stix blog (if you don’t, don’t). In a monumental titanic phrase that was thrown off as if it was nothing, commenter GRA, who writes more than half of the content, said he was “not Jewish.” That raises a whole shipload of questions. Another commenter there, RM, seems to be getting uppity too.

  175. There is no cure for what ails them

    they love to flex on you, when they have their chance; also they can smell out someone who, in their opinion, needs “pressing” [1]

    note 1. as always, my lingo is boomer current now, and not actually current, but I have heard pressing used by the kids in order to mean flexing

  176. — I wish I was a Civil War buff

    — you mean you are interested in the Civil War?

    — no not really, but it would be cool to be a Civil War buff

  177. I know what you mean about Hemingway, he is kinda held up as this ne plus ultra something or another, and as far as goes pre internet memes from the distant past, Old Man and the Sea may take the cake, for all time first place. Like, you didn’t even have to read the book, just the title itself says it all.

    he also has the quote about “writing drunk, edit sober” and anyone who says that, can’t be all bad

    and also again, his hero Nick isn’t it part of the lore that he had a “war wound” on his penis? that he was emasculated? not gonna ruin this poast by grokking that question, but This_acct is on record as suggesting that Hemingway was ahead of the curb, in being an Intactivist, and managing the sneak that into the discourse, IOW that he was clipped out and deeply wounded by it, and that’s why he was an alcoholic

    his short story The Short Happy Life, I thought it was pretty readable; it had a great part in it where the hero, the American man who was still not a man, totally blew it and then doubled-up on being a wanker, by explaining and apologizing to the safari guide, who was actually a real man, and a Brit incidentally in the mould of Croc Dundee; and apparently that was an even worse cringiness, was apologizing for having failed in the face of existential crisis, (a charging lion) rather than just accepting it and moving it

    spoiler: the American regains his ballz in the penultimate scene and kills the charging buffalo at the last possible second, with his third and final bullet, before they all are ground into dust by its horny awesomeness

  178. For Whom the Bell Tolls in another example of Hemingway being ahead of his time, as a meme master: it’s like u dnt even have to read the book, the title is everything

    and sure enuf, the book is really dull; but the title, the title, the title

    For Whom the Bells Tolls, iirc and without ruining this poast by grokking it, is about the Spanish Civil War

    why wz Hemingway on the side of the commies?

    and tbh that whole segment of 20th c. history, the Spanish Civil War particularly, why is it so shrouded, why didn’t they teach it in college?

    is Spain even a real place?

  179. it had a great part in it where the hero, the American man who was still not a man, totally blew it and then doubled-up on being a wanker, by explaining and apologizing to the safari guide,

    not sure if that’s clear, but basically the American blew it when the lion came at him, and shit his pants; and if that wasn’t bad enuf, then he did a cringey apology to his real man Crocodile Dundee Safari guide, and the guide thought-bubbled to himself: “these fucking Americans are so cringe: he doesnt even know that apologizing for his existential failure, makes it worse!”

    and it’s really written up in such a way as to make the point

    as an aside, the How to Hunt channel with the Bigfoot Guy, has that same meta theme; Isdahl is IRL Croc Dundee-levels for sure, and he is always making the point, that you never can tell, how someone will react to a charging grizzly, and that it’s often the opposite of what you would expect

    I never had to face a charging grizzly and as someone once said to me: I think our hard living days are behind us, lol

    but it all goes to how that meta theme of not having had to do that, was alive and well in Hemingway’s time; he was held up as someone who wrote about it, and to use the cliche, captured the zeitgeist which is that people had to go to Africa in order to find that, or at least the people who self styled as readers and tastemakers, IOW they weren’t working in the boiler room

  180. TLDR: Spanish Civil War bridge throwing story is true.  It happened twice in the City of Ronda in southern Spain.  The scene in chapter 10 of Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls, describing the 1936 execution of fascist sympathizers in a fictional village who are thrown off a cliff, is considered to be modeled on actual events.  Hemingway supported the left-wing (republican) side during the war, and traveled around as a correspondent.    

    For a picture of the bridge, g00gle the Puente Nuevo in Ronda.  It’s a relatively short carved stone bridge that spans a 390 ft chasm dividing the city.  The bridge was completed in 1793, and contains a jail inside.  The victims were not fascists.  Anyone not deemed supportive enough of the republic was labeled a fascist.  Sound familiar?  After the nationalists (under Franco) won in 1939, the residents threw the communists responsible off the same bridge.  So today, the Left whines about the “victims” thrown off in 1939.  No mention of 1936. 

    Spanish Civil War book recommendation:

    The Last Crusade: Spain 1936 (written in 1996, 240 pages) by Warren Carroll

    This book covers a historical period of time that I think most resembles the US today.  Politically, the parties were ineffectual, compromised.  On our streets you have Africans in America/Antifa/modern communists permitted to commit any crime without repercussion: charges dropped, no bail, no sentence, no witnesses, softball charges for felonies, jury nullification, etc.  Stress is constantly ratcheted up to prevent the white working and middle classes from succeeding.  It is not chaos.  It is part of a system of control. 

    The Spanish Civil War began under similar circumstances. 

    Spain had eliminated its monarchy in 1931, so it became a republic.  The republican side was a coalition of the mostly Left (trade unions, socialist, anarchist, communist, Basque and Catalan separatists).  The Right was a large part of the military, the Catholic Church, middle class, fascists similar to Mussolini, and monarchists.        

    It kicked off in earnest when part of the military (generals such as Franco) saw where the Left was taking the country.  After winning elections, the Left were killing more people in the streets and starting mass arrests of opposition leaders (political and religious).  The Catholic Church simply existing was an affront to the Left and had to be eliminated.  The Left-wing government was bringing in KGB advisors.  So the generals began to mobilize.  But not all of the military backed the right.  It was a multi-front civil war with pockets of support around the country.

    Total Number of Catholic priests and religious (nuns, monks) killed during the Spanish Civil War: 6,832.

    Most were killed without even the pretense of a trial, often near cemeteries so their bodies could be rolled into mass graves, that is if they weren’t burned and outraged first.

    Total number of bishops killed: 13.

    Total number of churches that were totally destroyed: 20,000 out of 42,000.

    And countless numbers of laypeople also executed without trial, often for simply wearing a medal/crucifix, or being a known churchgoer.  The )))Russian((( volunteers were the worst, as expected. 

    The Left could have won, but the Communists started killing socialists and anarchists ahead of their expected takeover. Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia covers this. Orwell fought for the socialists, was wounded, and had to hide from the Communists in Barcelona until he could escape.

    The story of the Siege of the Alcazar in Toledo is also an interesting read.

  181. Gardian, appreciate ya. Especially good to read this: “After the nationalists (under Franco) won in 1939, the residents threw the communists responsible off the same bridge.”

  182. Friday Afternoon Follies

    Decided to head on out for some lunch to my new-old haunt. Had a bite to eat and decided since it’s Friday and been dead at work, why not head on over to the new-new-old haunt which is just a few stores down.

    As I’m walking, I see some black lady that’s out on the patio, enjoying what looks like a Jack & Coke. As I round the porch to enter, she’s walked near me and says hello. I immediately figured or thought she was some work staff or some peddler trying to sell me something. I say hello back and then tells me I look good as I continue to my way towards the door.

    This threw me for a loop because I cannot recall ever hearing such a direct compliment from any woman. Should be Friday Afternoon Firsts. I say thank you and pray to all that is holy that she doesn’t join me up later in the bar. My prayers were answered.

    At this rate/stage, I’ll take the damn compliment. She was true African given the accent—just to paint a clearer picture.

  183. I say thank you and pray to all that is holy that she doesn’t join me up later in the bar. 

    Ha, good one.

  184. The Spanish Civil War … you know, its absence from our usual 20th century history narrative is provocatively suspicious.

    There, Germany tested its Messerschmidt Bf109s and other military equipment it wasn’t supposed to have. Testing military equipment in battle is paramount in war planning.

    I know precious little about this war, and I feel like I’ve been cheated a meaningful understanding of it. Time to read forgotten sources.

    …. All this talk of robust education making us free thinkers. When’s the last time someone was permitted to think freely?

  185. My college had a thing in January where you were required to take an intensive course on one microsubject, and that’s all you did. Great idea, but the course involved lots of reading and was stiffly graded, so it wasn’t like a vacation. One year I took the Spanish Civil War class. I’m a little ashamed to say I remember nothing of it, although I did read our textbook by the English hispanicist Hugh Thomas. We watched a documentary and it was funny because there was an important peace conference, probably in Switzerland, during the war, and the docu spent some time on it. Unfortunately, there was no footage of the conference, just newsreel footage of the diplomats entering the building. A really stupid move by the filmmakers. They showed this footage over and over again, of a giant walrus guy who looked like Taft walking up the steps, followed by a tiny mincing fop, like a chihuahua following a mastiff. The first three times they showed this no one cared, but about the fourth time, quiet laughter started. By the tenth time, everyone including our professor was rolling in the aisles. They could have shown some talking heads or anything. Instead they showed the same 5-second loop at least 25 times. Good times! The professor even invited the entire class of 15 or 20 to his house once for drinks. College wasn’t all bad.

  186. Oh boy, college reading lists, haha. At the time it was such a chore. Today, we read these works from individual desire to learn and grow as men. Kudos to anyone who recognized back then how useful this information could become.

    Plato, Aristotle, names like that. I saw it as make-work homework and put no effort into it. Youth is wasted on the young.

    The one thing I really took away back then, from Aristotle, is that he was against the accumulation of wealth by buying and trading currencies, because doing so provided no benefit to the market. I hadn’t yet met a ewe at the time, yet STILL I recoiled with Aristotle at the thought of such a shitty way to “make” (rather, “skim”) money.

  187. After reading Washington Irving’s Conquest of Granada, whenever I see the word Ronda, my ears perk up. I had no idea it figured in the 20th century Civil War. The siege of Ronda in the late 15th century is one of the most memorable parts of Irving’s book. As U.S. ambassador or consul to Spain, Irving became a Spanish historian. Irving is my favorite author, I decided last year. His book Astoria, about the early mountain men/fur traders, should be better known.

    As for Ronda, Irving writes:

    “Ronda was the most virulent nest of Moorish depredators in the whole border country. It was situated in the midst of the wild Serrania, or chain of mountains of the same name, which are uncommonly lofty, broken, and precipitous. It stood on an almost isolated rock, nearly encircled by a deep valley, or rather chasm, through which ran the beautiful river called Rio Verde. The Moors of this city were the most active, robust, and warlike of all the mountaineers, and their very children discharged the crossbow with unerring aim. They were incessantly harassing the rich plains of Andalusia; their city abounded with Christian captives, who might sigh in vain for deliverance from this impregnable fortress. Such was Ronda in the time of the Moors, and it has ever retained something of the same character, even to the present day. Its inhabitants continue to be among the boldest, fiercest, and most adventurous of the Andalusian mountaineers, and the Serrania de Ronda is famous as the most dangerous resort of the bandit and the contrabandista.”

  188. I recently finished a firsthand account of an Englishman who served as an officer leading a heavy MG platoon in the Nationalist Army called “Mine Were of Trouble.” The author was personally decorated by Franco at the end of the war. I walked away with the impression the Nationalists fought the war with old world chivalry and had a gentlemanly service culture. The book is still available on Amazon. I would not be the least bit concerned if we had a dictator of Franco’s caliber to lead us.

  189. The Medeival significance of Ronda no doubt figured into the Communist’s decision to use it for the atrocity. Spain has some amazing terrain. One of the best museums I’ve ever been to is the Spanish Naval Museum in Madrid. I went twice on the same trip. The Prada is also staggering. I took 3 days to see it all. It is much better than the Louvre.

  190. Prado, not Prada. My bad.JJ, it’s a nice country with very good food, Roman ruins, amazing castles, and over 2,000 years of recorded history. The two museums I mentioned are both in Madrid. Toledo is more picturesque but smaller. It’s a must see. I’ve been there a few times and always enjoyed it.

  191. The Way (2010) was a movie about Spain, here is the AI overview txt–

    The Way (2010) – IMDbEmilio Estevez directed and starred with his father, Martin Sheen, in the film “The Way” (2010), about an American doctor who walks the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain after his son dies on the trail, learning to find himself and form bonds with other pilgrims. Estevez’s connection to Spain and pilgrimage is central to the movie, which beautifully captures the spiritual and communal essence of the historic route, according to sources

    /end_quote

    interesting to think of Spain as having wild places and mountains and stuff; and hey about the women hubba hubba

  192. Save as many White children as possible.

    Go into an elemennary school and you see waves of brown sewage and their zombie parents on perpetual WhatsApp speakphone calls. All I want to see are White children, I don’t care how they got here, if they’re dirt poor, Ukrainian refugees, whatever.

  193. this picture is real btw, this is the Minneapolis Chief of Police, with a classic tough guy Irish cop name Brian O’Hara [where oh where is kfg to tell me it’s not actually Irish but rather sect-o-obscure black scotch?]

    he and jewish mayor Frey are in a battle to see who is going to take the fall first, or sumpin

    The current Minneapolis Police Chief, Brian O’Hara, is married to Wafiyyah O’Hara, a Lieutenant in the Newark Police Department, and they have two sons; previously, Chief Janee Harteau (Chief from 2012-2017) was married to her longtime partner, Holly Keegel, after gay marriage became legal in Minnesota

    Wife: Wafiyyah O’Hara, a police lieutenant in Newark, NJ.

    Family: They have two sons, Brendan and James.

  194. it’s a show

    Using 20 agents to arrest one guy seems performative but, two things: they are surrounded by hostiles and the usual 3 or 4 agents going to a house to extract an illegal is far too dangerous. Second, shock and awe. It works.

    But yes, there are 30 million (more?) illegals in the country who need to leave, minimum. That’s a national emergency of existential proportions and requires emergency measures. That involves mobilizing the military to remove all these cretins and Make America White Again.

  195. The Left’s effeminate moral zeal spirals into a cannibalistic feeding frenzy. 

    It’s always mothers (womyn) who drown their infants in bathtubs, never fathers. Infanticide is carried out in the vast machority of cases by the mothers.

  196. S_e, are u allowed to carry a revolver in your glove box of your car whilst driving around in the state of Minnesota? I think u should. To buy a handgun, can you just go into a store and walk out with one or do you have to wait a day or undergo a federul background check?

  197. Mine Were of Trouble

    The legendary Peter Kemp. His trilogy of adventures is indeed on Amazog where I got them in 2021 during the plandemic. Read the one where he was parachuted into the Balkans during WWII. What a legend. Very much “Online Right” coded reading.

  198. How could he find that thing attractive enough to even approach, talk with her? Gross.

    **************

    I was in good spirits (heh) after my lunch compliment and had a hankering for going out again. Chill evening. Ran into old boomer I mentioned earlier. He’s good people. Not much talking this time save for a few quips here and there towards the barmaid.

    It was early in the evening when I was out and some folks started trickling in as I left. I cannot do the late evenings anymore or rather, need to be judicious if I’m going to stay out late. Yeah, tis the mileage but that almost 4 month break I took my body got used to a certain rhythm and time frame—aka clockwork.

    Next week, my hours are changing back to what they used to be so I wanted to take advantage of the early release (yikes!)

    Starting to enjoy the afternoon visits more.

  199. A general question, but also directed to SE: what is Grand Avenue in St. Paul like? I worked for a travel guide company once, and they did a guide to the Twin Cities. Grand Avenue sounded like the best place. I imagine it is like Montclair NJ, full of the best architecture and restaurants, but raving shitlibbed (Hatred Has No Place Here), but I could be wrong. F. Scott Fitzgerald was a native of Grand Avenue, I believe.

  200. Schools that are all White are orderly, clean, well behaved, and ahead of the brown schools. However, the Hispanics I see are quiet, obedient, and usually do their work. White people need to work on their desire to learn, I’m sorry to say. It is strongest in schools that are mostly White and retain a White culture. When you have more than 30% black, you get constant fidgeting and horseplay, which spreads to the other races. I’m convinced Hip Hop was invented to engender black ghetto culture onto Whites in order to undermine them culturally.

  201. LSP, is the 3d book by Peter Kemp worth reading? I believe it’s about the Malay Uprising. I have number 2 but haven’t read it yet. SE should be able to impulse buy a pistol and get it in under an hour. You can in my state.

  202. “I’m convinced Hip Hop was invented to engender black ghetto culture onto Whites in order to undermine them culturally.”

    You’re not wrong. But as a witness to the whole thing, we liked it. I’ll never forget in 1983 seeing a cool reprobate White kid walking around bare chested in our high school in the smoking area with a giant boombox that he wore as a crucifix on his back blasting Run DMC with a cig dangling from his lip. It helped that Run DMC was decent music. It was pretty close to AC/DC. Only in 1992 did the hip hop turn rancid, with the West Coast Dr Dre and Snoop Dog garbage. After 1992 I cut off rap.

  203. I used to sell guns. Federally, it’s a form that takes 5 minutes to fill plus a 5-minute phone call to the quick-background-check service. Some states have more tedious and restrictive processes.

    The best states are where private citizens can sell to one another without restriction, so long as the items themselves don’t require additional steps like NFA shenanigans.

    I used to sell quite a lot of toys through Backpage, which sadly got shut down because h00krz were a bit too open about their business. The official reason is “ch___ [hexx] 7raffikin'” but that’s it’s own can of worms.

  204. is the 3d book by Peter Kemp worth reading?

    Haven’t read it yet, saving it for vacation read, like to take to a resort for a week.

  205. all the craziness isn’t really hard to avoid, if you dnt go down there

    I used to go into the city once in awhile for kicks, but not anymore; the protests are contained to the cities

    there’s a ton of road ragers, who are generally car culture kids, who drive like maniacs and tailgate hard, and no one ever really wants to back down; but again, it’s two to tango and if you aren’t looking for it, it’s ez to avoid

    my impression is that CW II is not at all imminent; they try to amplify how bad it [the protests] looks, but the worst of the worst of it, is pretty contained; that said, it’s made clear that there’s a large percentage of lunatic lefties, maybe 10 percent of the population, who are irreconcilable

    I dnt predict the future but it’s not going to be dramatic; these are epic times, but they still will feel like one day after the next

  206. it’s a spiritual war and your power levels are your vibrational frequency

    “u want cancer, spend your time being angry”

    I see White kids at the mall and wonder how many of them got the childhood vaccination schedule, [not even mentioning the mRNA] and the boys do they even have their whole bodies intact?

    this abuse inflicted on the kids, in those two ways, is a disgrace

    people aren’t even interested in talking about mRNA damage; I am not willing to talk with the people close to me, who suffer from it, and try to extend that courtesy to people further out: like if ur not willing to talk about it anymore with those closest, cuz it’s too painful, then u should extend the same courtesy to everyone else

    it’s broken society, to my reading, but I am pretty blackpilled to begin with; anyone in a position to protect a fambly, is an absolute hero, and quite a bit above my paygrade; what I have learned in blogging here, is to regard people who have children, to extend them respect; otoh a lot of those same people, dnt hardly manage to do the basics for health: being fat, feeding your kids slop, taking them to the hospital and not protecting them therefrom

    will not blackpill poast too much more today, if possible; dog is God backwards, this is trite observation now, but it’s a real thing, Alan Watts has a famous vid about this

  207. elk & OF: AC today posted something I thought one of you would find provocative, regarding sperm being REPLACED (not infect, replaced) by spike proteins. I didn’t read it so cannot speak to any of it. Thing is, AC if quite clearly trained in biology and epidemiology, and he chose to repost the xweet.

  208. elk: “…again, it’s two to tango and if you aren’t looking for it, it’s ez to avoid”

    This is so true. A sign of wisdom we accrue as we age. Oh! To be young again but to know what I do.

  209. OT: my premium email provider (big on privacy and security) just informed me that one of my email addresses has been found somewhere on the dark* web. I use this email at exactly two websites: here and 6ab. Wouldn’t you know, that email has been put on a list..

    We’re a couple dozen core commenters, plus a couple dozen more occasional commenters. Yet we’re being watched, it seems. I gotta confess: seeing this much sphincter-puckering over such a tiny obscure WP comment section that almost can’t be found unless you knew a decade ago where to find it….pat yourself on the back for being here. It’s a commendation of credibility if “they” care what you have to say.

    *-“Dark” is a strong word; the dark web is merely a secure web. 70%+ is stuff like insurance company files, along with health and legal providers.

    But that nefarious word “dark” permits “journalists” to besmirch the dark web as a place that exists only to perpetuate these not-real crimes of “7rffkn'” ppl and substances [the horror!] that were OTC a few years ago.

    Who, again, was the coiner of the phrase “F this ghey erf” and its cognates? Was that CH? Was it—God forbid, but at the same time, God bless him if he’s the source—GE? Was it one of you?

  210. Shared by OF:

    Let us be careful to avoid knee-jerk reactions. There is a human preference, especially amongst Whites, it seems, to accept “statistics” on their face. It’s like we are programmed to believe that correlation means causation, because that is the most popular answer embraced by 2/3 the demographic, from simpletons to midwits. We disavow that population’s conclusions.

    The above correlation does not mean only that White women are moving left. Yes, that’s the way it has worked all our GenX lives, but it’s not the sole factor.

    What else, aside from the mind virus ruining White women, happened between 2000 and now?

    Double or triple the nons is what happened. These stats are the dog that didn’t bark.

  211. Question for the foreign-raised (meaning, didn’t grow up in the USA): how bad was/is the drug problem where you’re from?

    My first thoughts go to my native land. You could buy almost anything OTC. Narcotics. Amphetamines, stimulants—nobody worried anyone would abuse them, because that would have been socially unacceptable. If Ibuprofen doesn’t work, you go to opiates. The pain goes away, you get constipated, it all works out. Nobody thinks less of you, they feel sad that your toilet experience suffers.

    Likewise, if you’re stuffed up in your sinuses, you take pure Ephedrine. Instant relief. Nothing recreational about it. The side effects suck, but you suck it up.

    My second thoughts go to PA, his countrymen, and others here who spent time abroad (thinking of you, SD, and also our several Canadian and English/British/Irish bros): were there bad drugs in the old country? How bad were they? Was there a racial correlation?

    What would be more effective: remove the drugs or remove the drug abusers?

  212. “car culture kids, who drive like maniacs and tailgate hard, and no one ever really wants to back down”

    Do they alter their mufflers to make that machine gun backfiring sound? I have my windows open in the middle of the night all winter because my building is super overheated. At 3 AM It sounds like Beirut 1983 out there. It’s grossly overheated where I work too, and everyone talks about it but they never turn it down. Indians like it hot, so I wonder if we’re now ruled by Indians. Which caste?

  213. yeah those loud sporty mufflers are popular; the shaded windows too; to point out the obvious, shaded windows are a HUGE tactical advantage in car wars, I am surprised they are even legal

  214. the obnoxious aggro driving, for the younger people who do it, it’s not about being angry, they are getting their flex on, and supposedly having fun; and pissing off the old White guys is part of the fun

    it’s mostly nons and wiggers, but so many people have that attitude now

    it’s a total fail, to get upset by it, and then to play into it is doing the exact thing of making the roads more dangerous for everyone else, that you are supposedly against

    everyone thinks that they are a good driver, but eventually you’re not

    that said I recently watched the Earnhardt special on Amazon, the four-part miniseries, and it was interesting how long those guys could go, into their 50s, and still be top drivers; for instance Dale was 51 or 52 when he finally won Daytona, iirc

    that was a good show, but not gonna tv poast it

    Dale was a complicated dude, and kinda an asshole turns out

    when I worked briefly in the trades, back in the 90s, the guys I worked with were insane Nascar fans, and I always thought that their fandom was sorta a put-on, or try hard

    one time they had me change the tire on the trailer and I put it on backwards; but like a real man I just accepted the mocking that came with it and fixed it up right; I guess that was the first time I changed a spare tire “in the wild” lol

  215. It’s not a new observation, but the pandemic changed everything with driving. Now, cutting corners is becoming the rule, not the exception. A notorious intersection that I walk through most days, drivers cut through the parking lot of a restaurant that closed two years ago, so as to avoid the light. The city needs to close the parking lot at at least one end, but their priority is to fight antisemitism at all costs, so traffic deaths take a back seat. I’m terrified of these “drivers.” With the tinted windows, you never see who they are. On the few occasions I’ve seen them, they surprise me. Many are young white women. The rest are young black or Puerto Rican women. I never see the stereotypical young black man, but that might be because he’s prepared enough to have tinted windows. Someone was killed there walking to work in 2010, and in 2020 at another notorious intersection, someone I knew by sight, a Chinese woman who managed a restaurant, was run over and killed by subhuman scum who beat the light just to get on the onramp to the interstate a minute faster. The other day I was at that intersection and the crossing guard saw me suddenly turn and walk legally across it as the pedestrian light was counting down. She made a weird noise of alarm that really bothered me, and ran to shepherd me across the street. If a crossing guard thinks that an adult can’t walk safely legally with the light, that’s pretty bad. I made a vow then and there never to go through that intersection again.

  216. “At 3 AM It sounds like Beirut 1983 out there”

    MF, your commentary has always been informed and solid, a stalwart redoubt. This one takes the cake. I really needed a chuckle, and you have my thanks.

  217. JJ, re drugs:

    been a problem here since the 60s. We’re a port city with lax customs oversight. Smuggling was easy. Started with heroin from SEA then homegrown cabbage grow-ops managed and distribution by organized crime. Safest neighbourhoods to live in are around the clubhouses. In the 90s and 00s the bus was so potent it would be amuggles down south and traded pound for pound for cocaine.

    Gang wars really kicked off in the 90s. Brazen daylight hits, mistaken identity hits. Massive problem. Now we have almost daily extortion shootings. Caste / regional shat from their old country

    https://surreynowleader.com/2026/01/17/overnight-shooting-in-surrey-believed-to-be-extortion-related-no-injuries-reported/

    But The worst was the Quebec biker war. Over 150 people were killed.

  218. ELK: I see White kids at the mall and wonder how many of them got the childhood vaccination schedule, [not even mentioning the mRNA]…

    I just learned that a First Cousin of mine suffered a massive stroke in the prime of life.

    Within muh own fambly, I’ve now seen so much post-v@xxine dementia that I no longer even need to read the news headlines about the phenomenon.

    All of us bachelors need to be doubling down on the search for fertile non-v@xxed White females.

    ==============================

    JJ: I can’t seem to find the word, “sperm”, at Anonymous Conservative’s website.

    Should I be looking for a different “AC”?

    Might you have a deep link URL?

  219. as I predicted earlier, upthread, here is a face check in action

    this is downtown(ish) Minneapolis, and the glubbed blue hand is literally pointing at him and screaming Naaaazzzzi!

    Bro does a fantastic job of holding the line; note that his mouth is closed and smirking, IOW not at all placating expression; major props to this bro; could you match his performance?

    there are at least a half dozen examples of people being beaten and nearly beaten, floating around, in addition to the well known ones

    this IS a national emergency situation, when regular Joes are getting beaten on the street by mobs, for being, essentially White men; if Trump et al doesn’t White Horse this bitch up, and tmr, then he is all talk, or all hat and no horse as they might say in Alberta

  220. The UK gov created a propaganda game with a villain right wing female character. She caught on as /ourgirl/. She’s the girl in the right panel.

    The left panel is the Big Brother from 1984.

    Together it’s an allusion to this classic Macintosh ad.

  221. Musta Gotta Lotta books this Christ-mass season.
    The Peter Kemp trilogy has been on my Christmas gift list for a while; was looking forward to getting it…maybe get it for my birthday; maybe have to buy it outright.

    At present, the big focus is on reading and learning about what happened when the sea levels were 400 feet lower at the end of the last ice age, then rose. Lots of recent discoveries, epigraphy, stratigraphy, archeology, anthropology, DNA analysis have proved that the Columbus discovered America is mythical narrative and total BS and that humans have been here far longer than we were “taught” in school. Currently reading “The Mystery of Doggerland” which discusses the recent shallow water megalithic finds offshore northeast of Britain that date back thousands of years before Stonehenge or the Egyptian Pyramids and were flooded when sea levels rose as the ice melted.
    Also making a second reading and deep pass through Gavin Menzies “Who Discovered America”, Barry Fell “Bronze Age America”, Graham Hancock “America Before”, Richard Dewhurst’s book on giant skeletons found in N.America. These are all good reads and well researched with extensive bibliographies.

    Spec Ops and Mil fiction adventure are also favorites. Jack Carr’s latest book “Cry Havoc” was in the Christmas pile of books received. Jack Carr’s “Terminal List” series is excellent reading and the first book of the series has been worked up as a streaming video series on Amazon Prime and follows the book narrative very closely. A second video series “Dark Wolf” was released in 2025. Have read all of P.T. Deutermann’s books and received his latest “Second Sun”.

    Up, the commentaries is the interesting discussion about horrible drivers. It used to be that only the brainless humanoids with hereditary shrunken or missing prefrontal cortex that are classically incapable of anticipatory or predictive thinking. Way back in the early 1980s, there was this British expat engineer I carpooled with, and he typically would point out an erratic vehicle and remark “look that one is driving like a N****r”. At the time I was totally clueless about the inability of that species to fore-think. Now it is obvious and the red dot bobbleheads are just as bad. Turning across lanes, running red lights, sitting at a stop until the light turns yellow then rushing through, arms a wavin and a gyratin, unable to figure out which way to go before they get there. What is really bad now also is that there is a large crowd of whiggers, niggabees, and goofy tatted nose ringed wimmenz that have acquired the inability to control their vehicles. And the wimmenz – Is there one out there that doesnt walk around with the fone in front of her face yapping in selfie mode?

  222. niggabees

    Brilliant!

    The thing that upsets me about the aggro drives out in me hometown are how fast they drive in the residential areas. Absolutely no excuse and yeah, it’s mainly young bucks letting their testosterone do the driving. There do happen to be a few in their 30s, riding hard in their lifted pickup trucks. At least gas is cheap out here.

    This place has always had shitty drivers which was confirmed by the young lads and another of their friends. It falls into that “glad I’m not the only one” territory.

    Random thought or question: any sliver lining or white pill to be had with all this anti-ICE sentiment, rhetoric?

    I’m not the worry-wart kind but the egging on by TPTB and the like annoy me far more than I should let them.

    /ourgirl/ and 1984 meme works well. Didn’t know that that was the case.

    Leave you all with this comedian—he’s got several shorts on YT, all on point. Calling it down the line with some hilarity:

  223. any sliver lining or white pill to be had with all this anti-ICE sentiment, rhetoric?

    I read earlier today that the ICE Agent is now the second-most popular female sex fantasy. “Every woman adores a fascist.”

  224. Wendish’s rich reading list. I’m at a dry spell as revealed by my recent impulse-visit to the local public library. Walked through the Fiction aisles. Public Libraries are the epicenter of normalized clownworld. Nice library ladies who look too soft to antagonize an ICE agent but there is a trans-gay-rainbow flag hanging at the entrance to the building. Twat Fiction books displayed front-cover-first throughout the aisles, many of those being Afrocentric and stuff.

    Amongst those Fiction stacks, nothing caught my eye. I saw Murakami, but. No interest in reading anything else by him, because “Norwegian Wood” is the perfect novel and I want to read it again, but not until some years pass and I forget many of the details. Besides “Norwegian Wood” on the shelf, there were some of his other familiar titles which I had not read, but I was not in the mood to go through his Magic Realism formula again. (Norwegian Wood is the exception to the rest of his fiction in that there is no supernatural element in it).

    There were Stephen King novels, I read all the good ones in the Eighties. There was Milan Kundera. His “The Unbearable Lightness of Being,” I read in my twenties and loved it. I was open to the themes in that book then, which were unlike any I had come across in literature. Now though, meh. Muh adage — much of twentieth century literature is pervs being giddy to be living through the sexual revolution. The friggin cover of The Unbearable Lightness of Being even had a suggestive bikini and bowler hat illustration. I did not borrow any book that day.

  225. Wendish, is this an accurate representation of 1975 in the US?

    Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
    It’s a death trap, it’s a suicide rap
    We gotta get out while we’re young

    The highways jammed with broken heroes
    On a last chance power drive
    Everybody’s out on the run tonight
    But there’s no place left to hide

  226. My second thoughts go to PA, his countrymen, and others here who spent time abroad (thinking of you, SD, and also our several Canadian and English/British/Irish bros): were there bad drugs in the old country? How bad were they?

    Is that question inspired by my accounts of the book Dopesick? No idea as goes Poland. I grew up there in the 1970s and never heard anything about drugs then, even as I heard adults talking about other social problems.

  227. PA, not in my universe, not even close. Tho it sounds like it could describe nooo yawk. Thus, the answer is: invert each point in that narrative, recasting in the positive.

  228. Tried to poast at /pol/ recently, but the CAPTCHA is so complicated now that I couldn’t get it to work.

  229. OF, here it is, reposted at the site we know and love (AC):

    (My gaydar pings hard when a male lists so many purported credentials, but whatever….perhaps there’s a “there” there.)

  230. Wendish: Doggerland and other ancient lands/civilizations are my fourth favorite subject (which is extremely high on my list of subjects). People used to walk to Britain, no big deal.

    Global warming, global cooling, it all works out in the end. Life finds a way.

    The truly infuriating part is when today’s midwits and eggheaded eunuchs try to tell us that !SC!ENCE! supports only one narrative. Wouldn’t you know, it’s the atheist/globalist/Satanist narrative.

  231. PA, never heard of Dopesick. Your account seems correlative to mine: yeah, we heard of ppl dying from drugs here and there, but it was always just a cautionary, tragic story of how things can really spiral if you let them. There was no widespread panic/pandemic.

    I think this is how drugs work in productive, homogenous societies.

  232. since I am low level tv-poaster now, the netflix Dopesick adaptation is better-than-avg slop, it has some residue meat particles, maybe just peanut butter

  233. A good read that I’m half through is Hugh Thomas’s Rivers of Gold,* about the early years of the Spanish new world empire. There is no shortage of books on this topic, but Thomas’s difference is that he puts a lot of emphasis on where the various adventurers came from in the Old World and who they knew and were related to. This makes for complex and sometimes boring reading, because Thomas has to give minibios of dozens of people and explain the difference between, say, Castile, Aragon, and Navarre, and tell about Spanish activities in Flanders, Italy, the Mediterranean, and the Canary Islands, not just the Caribbean.

    Goodreads reviews are hilarious: “way too many names, and I have to know what small town in Spain they grew up in?” Honey, if you want a book with few characters and none of their backgrounds given, your elementary school library must have dozens of books on Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez, and Albert Einstein.

    *Coincidentally by the same Hugh Thomas who wrote the textbook on the Spanish Civil War I was assigned in college.

  234. I haven’t seen the miniseries, only watched the trailer. This is how the difference between the book and the movie is summarized:

    “The Hulu miniseries Dopesick (2021) is a dramatized adaptation of Beth Macy’s 2018 non-fiction book, Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America. While the book serves as a journalistic deep dive into the opioid crisis, the Hulu series fictionalizes specific characters and rearranges timelines to create a more narrative-driven thriller.”

  235. I wrote: “Goodreads reviews are hilarious: ‘way too many names, and I have to know what small town in Spain they grew up in?'”

    I looked back to find that review and it wasn’t there, at least in that dumb form. Instead, there were some negative reviews of Rivers of Gold, but they were not that dumb. My bad. One of them said something like “why did the author keep mentioning if someone was a converso? He does this almost every page.” I noticed that too.

  236. I believe this might be the original Arne Burkhardt speech [regarding MRNA v@xxines and male sperm counts]:

    On muh computer, the volume of the vidya is very faint, and you’ll likely need to jack up your volume rather significantly.

  237. The Doggerbank thing where the land is now rising slowly or not so slowly thousands of years after the glaciation weighed it down for millennia. As land based, I can’t help but root for that, more land, but extrapolating to a place I know closer to home that was weighted down by glaciers too, Long Island Sound, I don’t know, man.

  238. I dnt know what is really going on in politics, but as someone not to distant from the Minneapolis bs, if Trump et al doesn’t do something to restore order, to quell the insurrection, or at least get Lemon arrested, then he is useless. There’s things that can be done, like arresting some of the most visible troublemakers in re the Church harassment. That should be right now, this afternoon.

    that that’s not happening, makes me think that it’s a larger plan to foment chaos and unrest; in fact this conclusion seems likely; so why do they want to do that?

    giving Trump et al the benefit of the doubt, that his team and administration is hampered and limited behind the scenes in a million ways; I guess that’s plausible, it kinda becomes six of one and a half dozen of the other: like, then he is useless either way

  239. Lemon is likely gonna be charged, but the other insurrectionists, the main instigators in the Church harassment, are easily identifiable: they need to be made examples of

    if they are not, we are being hung out to dry

    I dnt believe for a second that the Feds are so stupid and incompetent that they can’t do these basic things, unless that is what their orders are (to not do them)

  240. the actual harassment of the churchgoers in Saint Paul, is hard to watch; these are good regular people, and they are getting bullied hard, by insane leftists lunatics

    one in particular, I won’t link poast him, but he is a 40yo-ish White man: there is a flavor of insurrectionist, they are not all total wimps: a real man would put that guy down in 6 seconds, but for whatever reason, he is able to cow the normies, in the going climate

    tldr I can’t take it anymore; Bigfoot Happy Place is no longer doing it as much as it was

    Mendo that comic Ben Bankas is the best I have seen, for current goings-on; for the record he is (apparently) from Toronto; not trying to suck Canada’s dick here, but as I have observed many times in the past, they punch way above their weight, in the comedy world; it must come from being in that awkward position, of sucking America’s ass, and kinda resenting it but kinda enjoying it, for not actually having to take the lead, and always having a cop-out? just spitballing here, nothing personal

    he does the interact with the crowd bit, which is brilliant cuz that’s what people need and want now, is to be part of something

    the one called
    Ben Bankas has Farmer Heckler in Calgary | Standup Comedy

    is particularly good; some Calgary farmer thinks he can get the best of him, in a battle of wits, and shouts out “no slaves on my farm” which doesnt really make sense as Bankas isn’t American, and so why would it cut him? but it made sense in the moment, and then Bankas comes back with “so u dnt make much money then?” IOW totally mogs him, in front of the whole crowd

  241. Canada is in that awkward position, of always having been able to drift off of America’s wake; and they love it, cuz it’s easy money, but then they resent it at the same time, cuz they know it keeps them from their own destiny. Like a special brother. You love him, but always know he will be something of a burden.

  242. Not making excuses for Trump’s inaction, as it were, but as I read this article, I couldn’t help but thinking that with all the chaos going on in MN right now, he’s going about other tasks on a larger scale. (VD had a great bit about him and his potential to take Greenland and all that that would entail.)

    MSM’s so focused on huffing their own farts that global maneuvers are in play that could seriously change a great number of things. And again, couple this with the increased talk about taking Greenland and it throws even more into the machine. Heck, even saw a Fetterman tweet that says such dialog’s been in the works for years, nothing new, and could be a 21st century Louisiana Purchase.

    Using the same MSM/Dem playbook: use a crisis to push through, pass things you want and no one is the wiser, which is giving to much credit that most folk out there could even be considered as such.

    https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/01/19/trump-wants-gaza-board-constitution-and-remittance-agreement-signed-in-davos-eu-macron-flips-out-no-way/

    Another blurb about how if/when we do take Greenland, NATO will be there to stop us or we’ll be kicked out, which still works in our favor since we can bring back all the troops and save about $80b that we’re footing for those useless bastards. Greenland pays for itself!

    Back on the inaction part: no doubt Trump’s being baited to make a strong maneuver that would only rile the dolts up even more than they are, resulting in far greater consequences for the normies who are hopefully finally getting an effen clue. I see it as a delicate situation where one wrong move and it all blows up in the worst way.

    If gals are dreaming of ICE agents and I’ve been mistaken as a cop, I now have my new ploy to unfold . . .

  243. OF, been mad busy between work and family. I do not have time to read the Zohar but have been listening to commentary on it from trustworthy Catholic scholars.

    Also, and more importantly, “Do not look too deep into the abyss….” and all that.

    Father Mawdsley had really good commentary on it but he just got the gnarliest ban hammer I have ever seen.

    Dr. Deep State is solid. His YT channel is still up surprisingly. I would start there.
