It’s funny how foreigners use the term “Yank” for Americans.
Yankee is a pretty specific geographic/cultural/socioeconomic type. It would be like using “Ulsterman” as a generic term for residents of the UK.
One thing I like about Bukele is that he shows that poor countries aren’t doomed to be “s***holes.”
Central America is never going to be Switzerland, for obvious reasons, but it’s always possible for people’s lives to get meaningfully better at the margin.
I’d venture to say…
🔴 The military is struggling to recruit, amid an apparent disconnect with the younger generation. But it is a complex picture.
EXCLUSIVE: Americans don't want to fight for their country anymore
Colorado used to be a red state with a rural character, but then it became a HIP, SEXY, & GROWING place to move to, and now this is the result.
Another epic win for Chamber of Commerce Republicans.
NYT: “Can I talk to you about how white people suck?”
Griller cons: “Nah, I just want to grill.”
NYT: “Cool, cool, I like grilling too. Did you know that grilling is tastier with fewer white people?”
I saw a Pakistani (or maybe Afghan) group in a park today. One guy was dressed in a white caftan. Several were wearing those white pillbox hats they wear. I think they were speaking Urdu but idk.
You can’t help but think, “What are these people doing here?”
Canada is evil. I know you can say “they’re nice well-meaning pathological altruists” and such, but…
No, they’re economic Ponzi-schemers and GAE status-strivers par excellence, and they are doing something abominable to their posterity. Canada is an evil country.
Someday libs are going to miss Donald Trump, just as they now miss George W Bush.
I don’t think they understand how much (justified) anti-Americanism there is among young people on the right. They’ll miss Trump’s quaint flag-waving 20th-century ghost dance.
Progs are such weirdos. Imagine any other race talking about their ancestors like this.
They really are alien people. Bugmen, nowhere men. I don’t see how you can share a country with such people. Their ideology is deeply antisocial, and they call it virtue.
I will never see the civil rights era with the benevolent, idealistic nostalgia that the Boomers look back on it with.
I live in the 21st century. I can see where all the moralization and nation-building and legal innovations led to. They led to this.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid says Texas wanting to secure their border "sounds like the old Southerners who said that we will resist integration by any means necessary"
What proportion of modern progressive politics is an attempt to intellectually rationalize a visceral, reflexive hatred for this picture? 10%? 50%? 90%?
More like basic-b*tch middle management types. They’re probably smarter than non-college voters, on average, but they’re also oversocialized, status-obsessed, conformist, and intellectually mediocre.
We’ve gone pretty quickly from “diversity is our strength” to “diversity is a painful, arduous struggle, and if you think you’re getting along with other people you’re not doing it right, because it’s /supposed/ to be a difficult ordeal.”
Swedish father:
"My son has been robbed 3 times. Twice by Somalis, once by Arabs. He's marked for life."
"If I had a daughter I would follow her with a loaded shotgun"
Welcome to Sweden in 2024.
The Great Reconciliation was a tremendous accomplishment, and it says a lot about the US empire that Southern history is being re-anathematized.
Again, conservative Southern white guys should just stop serving in the military. It’s not your country; why help your occupiers?
U.S. Army base Fort Hood, named for a Confederate major general who led troops into battle against the United States during the Civil War, will be renamed for a Latino postwar four-star Army general.
Would they say Turkey exists on stolen Byzantine land? That South Africa exists on stolen Bushman land? That Egypt exists on stolen Coptic land? Etc etc.
No, they’d never say these things, because it’s all who/whom, and the intended audience is purring white libs anyway.
1. They’re married to the state.
2. They’ve adopted the world instead of having their own kids.
3. They are status-seeking and responsive to top-down consensus formation.
4. Their “leapfrogging loyalties” weren’t selected against in previous eras because society was homogenous.
This is what happens when the only objection the mainstream right has to illegal immigration is the fact that it’s illegal. So AOC is just calling their bluff; they don’t have the moral courage to actually defend ethno-national rights and interests as such.
AOC's solution to the border crisis:
"You can either fix it by trying to build a wall. Or you can fix it by documenting people."
The best way to end illegal migration is by legalizing it. AOC is brilliant.
I’m not at all a fan of Tlaib, but Tlaib is what a multicultural democracy looks like. She represents a lot of Arabs and Muslims, and her views on the current war reflect that
If you don’t like her perspective, you should have thought of that before bringing in her constituents.
I actually agree that “Germany doesn’t want to understand what it is today”
True for all Western countries. The natives, especially the middle and upper-middle classes, have this idea they’re collecting exotic pets to signal about. They don’t understand what dispossession means.
NEW - Migrants "will be the mighty ones" and "no longer a minority" in Germany. Among children under ten, about 40 percent already have a migration background, according to ZEIT.
The only thing standing between the Amerikaner and, like, three million square miles of self-determination is the pathetic affinity of the normie for institutions permanently lost to people who hate him.
This seems like it will be a decisive and clarifying moment. They're openly calling Trump's bluff, defying him to stop them. If this doesn't end now, I doubt it ever will.
There is a new migrant’s caravan coming from Honduras with more than 1500 people and picking more on the way to Mexico. They all want to reach the USA border. Some of them even have sings saying “Trump, here we come”. They could reach Mexico in few days.
@jacobsoboroff
Imagine permanently abolishing your storied island race for the sake of muh GDP and still ending up poorer than some Eastern European countries. Very sad, and I mean that unironically. It makes me sad.
It seems in this century UK will for the first time in 500+ years (?) be behind some East European countries in GDPpc.
"Britain is less than 15% ahead of the Czech Republic and Slovenia"
A country has the right, and arguably the duty, to repel invaders, and the essential quality of an invader is not that he is armed, but that he wishes to go forth and multiply in your territory, uninvited.
So at least Miller understands the existential stakes.
However…
EXCLUSIVE: One of Donald Trump's top immigration advisors Stephen Miller advocated using U.S. drones in 2018 to blow up migrant boats full of unarmed civilians, according to an upcoming book by a former administration official.
The government would order the army to restrain the Texan state authorities.
That would actually be great optics, because the sight of the American military being used to facilitate the invasion of America by force would permanently redpill even basic Fox News BoomerCons.
Republican politicians are indeed difficult to identify with—not because they’re white, but because they’re craven losers who hate their own voting base.
Kevin McCarthy: “When you look at the Democrats, they actually look like America. When I look at my party, we look like the most restrictive country club in America.”
Westerners wouldn’t have to fret about Muslim assimilation at all if they hadn’t imported so many.
Culture clashes like this were entirely avoidable. And the terrible thing is that, once diversity reaches critical mass, you’re not allowed to say this true and obvious thing.
Iceland: Immigrants STORM the Icelandic parliament, demanding residential permits & family reunion
Despite seeing the threat immigrants pose, the lawmakers voted to import one hundred "refugees" from Gaza.
Iceland has 660 police officers, an indication of the country’s safety.
People most offended by the Confederate flag tend to be the same people who want to foist the great replacement on northern states that have no legacy of slavery.
IOW the Southern Cross is now hated for being American, not for being anti-American.

For the life of me, I’ll never understand white people.
It’s genuinely funny that “white men for Kamala” or “white women for Kamala” is perfectly fine and normal, but white men or women /for themselves/ is beyond the pale.
There’s one ethnic group in America that is only permitted to organize /against itself/!
Is America an Afrocentric penitential rite, an economic zone for whoever parachutes in with the highest IQ, or a Trotskyite launchpad for gay race communism? Stay tuned for the exciting next episode of American Empire.
I remember Sailer predicting a few years ago that World War T (transgender issues) would be the next major focus of cultural/ideological activism, and it seems he was right about that.
The Biden-Harris ticket is so perfectly emblematic of the Great Replacement.
You have senile Biden, who plays up his Rust Belt white-ethnic origins but who has trimmed his sails for decades to remain in the good graces of the Dem Party as it moved from old left to new left...
Trump: Look at Paris. Look at London. They're no longer recognizable. I'm going to get myself into a lot of trouble, but you know what? That's the fact, they are no longer recognizable. We can't let that happen here
Progs several decades ago: “Pat Buchanan and Enoch Powell are paranoid bigots for thinking that diversity leads to conflict.”
Progs now: “Alright guys, we have the numbers for a race war now wooooooo!”
"Reactionary American whites, as always, won’t give up their power unless it’s taken from them....Liberals need to be as Lincolnesque as possible in this endeavor, but we also need to be Lincolnesque in our commitment to winning America’s latest race war."
Texan conservatism’s principal beneficiaries over the decades have been PMC/corporate whites (neolibs) and nonwhite immigrants doing the sort of jobs Texan conservatism creates (natural Dems). Honestly it’s such a maladaptive ideology that it’s remarkable they’re still GOP at all
One reason why I don’t want a borderless IQ meritocracy foisted on our middle class.
I admire Asian cultural virtues as the next guy, but a cram-school arms race with millions of Weihans seems like a terrible thing to do to American kids.
Same problem in South Korea, same problem in Japan.
Boomers in America are pretty bad, but the way young people are crushed by expectations and put-upon with social discipline in East Asian countries is truly phenomenal. It’s been generationally compounding and finally snapped.
The fact that random Trump supporters in an exurb are basically articulate and well-spoken people with various pro-social backgrounds is a good illustration of the desirability of taking care of the 100-IQ flyovers you have & not importing a third-world free-for-all to spite them
This is the longest ancient bronze inscription in the world, from China nearly 3,000 years ago, and it literally contains a list of “NOT allows.”
@liangweihan4
Chinese, Mexicans, Indians, etc get “one and a half” countries—a big diaspora population in the bughives, where they can go on walkabout and pursue the American dream; plus their ethnically intact homelands. You could say the same for Jews, I suppose.
US no longer has the hearts and minds of young, educated and ambitious Chinese like they did in the 90s as they return home to China. A whitepill for China's future
…that, on some level, the American uniparty likes the idea of the Third World being stagnant, because then the only thing to do is bring those people into the American Promised Land, which the left and right both want to do for their respective reasons.
But…
It seems like they’re pretty much done with the tiptoeing phase. Now they see the finish line—a permanently broken and disenfranchised nation—and they are sprinting toward that great consummation of the imperial project.
BREAKING: Biden secretly flew in more than 220,000 iIIegals to 43 different cities across the country.
We’re rapidly approaching 10,000,000 iIIegaIs ushered into America under this administration.
That’s more than the populations of 40 US states.
This isn’t an accident.
They literally think of migration like some kind of uncontrollable weather event. It doesn’t occur to them that you’re allowed to just stop them at the border and say “no.”
The usual WaPo suspects trying to recast the narrative. First they told us Kamala isn’t the border tsar. Now they’re blaming Trump for illegal migration.
The left-center alliance in France says a lot.
Le Pen isn’t even that “far-right.” But the point is, there’s a spiritual kinship between lib managerialism and orthodox leftism.

@realDonaldTrump
Maybe you should hire one of the few prominent public officials who has thought about how to implement your promises, and is actually inclined to do so. Just a thought.

Incredible. Imagine being a company trying to do the right thing by OBEYING FEDERAL LAW, even though it may cost you more or deprive you of access to potential labor, and the FEDS GO AFTER YOU FOR IT!
Evil empire. We live in an evil empire.
This is jaw dropping. Biden’s DOJ just fined a Christian Tennessee trucking company $700,000 for asking workers to prove that they’re legal by showing green cards. This is a shakedown for close to 3/4 of a million dollars because they tried to weed out illegal immigrants who
Gay marriage was pitched with the Andrew Sullivan argument that it would help spread bourgeois domestic norms. Then everything moved on to a bunch of aggressive men in dresses and whatnot
If ordinary people feel like they gave an inch & a yard has been taken, it’s understandable
Seems like it should be a bigger story that support for gay marriage is dropping fast.
Among Republicans, it dropped by 15 points in one year.
Among Gen Z, it dropped 11 points in two years.
For years, support for gay marriage has only trended up. Now, that trend is reversing.
More refugees must be resettled across the United States to fill a “void of cultural diversity” in towns that are made up of a majority of white Americans, a New York Times report states.
I don’t think it’s too much of an exaggeration to say South Africa is the model for what Western elites want.
I mean, they all lived happily ever after from 1994 onward, right? So what’s to object to? You got a problem with multicultural democracy or something?
In 1950, the population of Cairo, Egypt was 2,493,514.
Population is now estimated at 22,183,201.
Overall, from 1960 to 2023 the population of Egypt increased from 26.6 million to 110.9 million people: a growth of 316.7% in 62 years.
This is a view of Cairo from above.
The US has done everything it can to deconstruct the nation w/in the gen Z cohort. If the Pentagon wants a “national call of service,” they should have thought twice about turning America into the Airstrip One Economic Zone
As it is, “lol gfy” is the correct response to the govt
PURGE: Biden purged the military of Republicans and has made it clear conservatives have no place in the armed forces. As a result the US military is the smallest and least qualified it has been in 80 years…
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Harris wins. I’m not trying to blackpill, I just think we need to understand that the USA has likely already passed the point of no return
Trump buys time, but Harris represents the future of Unitedstatesians. Hopefully we won’t have to share it
Donald Trump arrives at UFC 302 to thunderous applause.

In any case, he could keep a harem on the taxpayer dime for all I care, as long as he builds the wall.
The ship of Coolidgesque moral probity in office sailed a long time ago. I just want a real country now.
“Crying out in pain while striking” has proven to be a very effective strategy for intergroup competition against Westerners, as evidenced by the fact that everyone invading the West is doing it now.
Repair your ethnic immune system or you’ll end up stateless, frens.
It’s obnoxious, but it’s kind of an S&M relationship in which Swedes evidentially derive some kind of satisfaction from stuff like this. Doing this to your country shows you’re a good person, or something
It’s frickin nuts, but NW Euro values didn’t evolve in a globalized world.
there’s another possibility, and it happens to be the only possibility that represents a /comprehensive/ and reasonably scalable remedy to the problems of poor countries: actually make them better!
In general, I think a lot of the cultural and legal accommodations of the 50s and 60s civil rights era, such as affirmative action, could be most plausibly justified in a demographically stable society with a guilt-ridden but secure white supermajority.
But…
If the Bud Light campaign really did come out of the blue and basically take the company & its business partners (wholesalers etc) by surprise, that’s a good vindication of Burnham’s characterization of the managerial class as being distinct & even independent from capital per se
The whole Israeli-Palestinian dynamic is a weird artifact of modernity.
In any previous era of history the winning side would probably have put the losing side to the sword, or completely driven them out, or literally enslaved them, and that would be that.
Watching the world try to use modern moral and political frameworks to explain and resolve a pre-biblical ethnoreligious genocidal war, and the absurdities and irreconcilable contradictions arising from the mismatch, pretty well illustrates the limits of secular governance
Sailer had a great poast some years back in which he argued that the racial/nationality divide was something that affluent libs leaned into and embraced because otherwise class issues in isolation would place the proletariat in their “uncanny valley” and make them uncomfortable.
A society where service staff are upwardly mobile, mostly young people who don't resent their customers because they can realistically aspire to one day be them, is much better than cheaper replacements where unbridgeable racial/class divides make these arrangements so fraught
Every election in America is a base-turnout election now.
It’s like Iraq or something. The Sunnis will vote for a Sunni party, the Kurds for a Kurdish party, etc. It’s a headcount.
Georgia is now Greater Atlanta just like Virginia is now Greater DC. And both of those metro areas are basically regionally deputized outposts of New York
This is the atomized, deracinated world neoliberalism has made. How can they be surprised if the South stops being Southern?
I approve of this change. Westerners, especially Boomers, still have this “noblesse oblige” mindset toward outgroups, effectively discounting the power and agency of those outgroups. They need to understand that this attitude is a maladaptive anachronism.
I think there’s an arguably true converse corollary to
@Steve_Sailer
’s adage that what goes without saying eventually goes without being thought.
Namely, things that are said as a purely pro forma expression of politesse come to be sincerely believed eventually.
I think one of the things we’ve been witnessing over the past week is the result of what Sailer called the “lumpenintelligentsia”—the surplus population sent to the universities in the post-industrial society. Not so much as rioters & looters, but as midwit enablers & apologists.
Yeah. If the pied-noir French didn’t belong in Algeria, then why do Algerians belong in France?
Algeria for Algerians, and France…for Algerians, apparently.
@arturodleal
“How dare you tell the Algerians they don’t belong in France!”
Like bro, millions of Europeans were ethnically cleansed from Algeria in living memory
I’m not an expert on El Salvador, but it seems to me that a saving grace of living in a Third World country is that it at least allows blunt Third World solutions. El Presidente says “throw the gangsters in jail,” and, whaddya know, crime is way down.
> French uniting to defeat fascism
lol no. What’s happening is that neolibs & communists have united to defeat THE FRENCH.
There’s nothing the French “far right” believes that would have been considered objectionable by De Gaulle, one of the most noted anti-fascists in history:
Stephen Colbert is hopeful, "If you’re feeling down about this election, don’t despair, there's hope from one of America's oldest allies, France...So, don't worry about who's at the top of the Democratic ticket. If the French can unite to defeat fascism, Americans can do it, too"
Nationalists tend to be HBD realists, but the point of nationalism isn’t to create some high-IQ Herrenvolk.
The point is to preserve your people and protect your interests because they’re yours. Handing your country to clever outgroups for muh GDP is a good way to lose it.
Do you think that knowing about IQ differences means you should oppose immigration? Many seem to think so. Here's why they're wrong.
Diversity is actually good after all.
