They're lighting centuries of institutional capital on fire in a power struggle with a podcast host, & they're losing
You cannot believe these people are unbeatable
Several players on the Tampa Bay Rays did not wear LGBTQ logos on their uniforms for the team's Pride Night celebration during Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox.
The boomer "kick the kids out at 18" approach was sensible in a healthy society that rewarded competence
It assumed that kids had received the necessary tools, & by 18 all they needed was a push into a few manageable but real tests
They weren't monsters - the world has changed
One important benefit of small business ownership: you can pass it onto your kids. You can’t do that with your management position at globocorp. This becomes especially important in a climate where globocorp has hiring policies that will disfavor your children
explaining 2023 to my WWII vet grandpa:
so the US flag is a symbol of reactionary discontent now
you can't sing the national anthem in the capitol
they tore down a bunch of statues & dug up bodies
navy ships are named after communist pedophiles
no we actually won the cold war
SHOCK: The Capitol Police refused to allow students to sing the National Anthem in U.S. Capitol explaining that, "it might offend someone/cause issues." The students were allowed to sing other less controversial songs.
@SpeakerMcCarthy
I want people like David to feel this kind of despair & powerlessness all the time
I want them to get a sick feeling in their gut every time they publish an "expose", that they might just be making people they hate richer & happier

College became a ticket to the middle class because it was illegal for employers to test for aptitude directly
Then they started giving everybody degrees, so you still need one but it doesn't mean anything
So now they hire on the assumption that your IQ is 80 & "see how you do"
But that just pushes the question back:
Q: Why are there no corporations with a conservative culture, where a progressive feels uncomfortable in the same way that a normie Catholic feels uncomfortable at Google?
A: it is literally illegal to make progressives uncomfortable
Some of the EXIT guys are working on an update of the 1911 Boy Scout Handbook
Clearly we've lost some good things, but it's also clear even from the original handbook why the BSA fell off, long before the🏳️🌈finished it off
Thread:
they say "cancel culture" is over because most famous people with cancelable opinions have filtered themselves out so it isn't in the news anymore
but corporate HR departments are still conniving with mentally ill antifa tr***s to punish thoughtcrime, it happens every day
Today I was fired from my job because of twitter. My twitter account was doxxed and reported to my employer. Terminated immediately. A job I had for 4 years.
Please be careful on here if you have something to lose. The anons are not lying about the importance of opsec.
This is not a coincidence, it's state-sponsored
A teacher wearing a cross would be fired for violating the Establishment Clause
An administrator who attempts to fire this teacher will be sued for discrimination
You cannot send your kids to government schools
this is a bit like saying that Saddam should have learned how to impose a no-fly zone
Doxxing is not a tactic we've failed to use, it's an infrastructure we don't control: they get to doxx because they dominate academia, media, & government, & thereby dictate employment law
Doxxing people is akin to the second amendment
I don't care if the left does it better than the right does, THE RIGHT SHOULD FUCKING LEARN HOW TO DO IT
Reminder that this in no way reflects changing preferences: the percentage of that cohort who *want* never to be married is still in the single digits
This is something that is *happening* to these people - millions of personal tragedies, only compounding as they grow older
I don't think most people are capable of anticipating the societal changes that will occur if only ~35% of 1990s cohort women get married by their 40s.
It will be a different country.
Politicized branding is both easy to do, & easy to undo - if Inbev fires Heinerscheid, conservatives will declare victory & swill Bud Light more enthusiastically than before
These grifts suggest there's money in taking the other side - so why don't established brands do it? 🧵
Pretty much everything we've seen from (ostensible) right wingers in response to woke cap is either Black Rifle style astroturf or some cheap branding gimmick (like below) that's purely reactive and at best has a one news-cycle half-life as a joke gift...
Anticompetitive behavior like this would be unsustainable in a market economy - breaking ranks is too profitable
When megacorps fall on their swords to deliberately exhaust the public, the market isn't acting like a market
The US economy is a state-enforced ideological cartel
What is happening right now is a bloody offensive, with globalists coming to the aid of friends in danger. It’s a bloody, vicious meat grinder, but they are moving the ball forward. This is like 10 years ago when the first rainbow logos came about. Someone was first. They fought,
The CRA creates an incoherent standard - everything is illegal, because everything has a Disparate Impact
But you can't put everybody in jail, so the state just picks who it wants to punish
>90% of the average Westerner's social data (the raw material from which they intuit probabilities & weigh the moral consequences of actions) is delivered to them via controlled media
They are not competent to weigh in on politics, their opinions have no relationship to reality
the system doesn't want orderly, high-trust communities - just the opposite
they want chaotic, untrustworthy actors who make spontaneous cooperation impossible, so that decent people need constant surveillance & intervention to conduct basic business
diversity is their strength
Obviously these people aren't restrained by their own principles - they're ruthless with their enemies when they can get away with it
They'd love to punish all this insolence but they *can't*
Partly because their power depends on maintaining some classical liberal kayfabe
there's not going to be any "anti-woke aerospace engineering company", except maybe in an adversary nation - decades of progress will simply be lost as competent people are replaced with ideological hires
they're explicit about this now because they're convinced there's nothing you can do about it, but that's a miscalculation on their part
you can protect your kids, you just have to rearrange your life & sacrifice as if it were a ravaging terminal illness
This doesn't mean it's safe to speak your mind, or that there's a "marketplace of ideas", or that protests & voting work in any straightforward sense
But it does mean you can build things that are hard for them to touch
It's worth getting fired to not be this guy
It's worth moving across the country
It's worth leaving the country
It's worth switching industries
It's worth learning to code
It's worth learning to weld
a "hostile work environment" is illegal when (& only when) it insults the progressive stack
an executive who even *suggests in a meeting* that the company attack BLM, for instance, is starting the countdown to a lawsuit for himself & the company
It's not costless, but there are alternatives
Remember our enemies are navigating loopholes & blind spots in our legal tradition, neither the spirit nor the letter of the law is on their side
"Cancellation" is pretty much over if you're an entertainer or influencer or otherwise trade on views, but literally nothing has changed for a kid like this trying to climb the ladder within the system
This creates misaligned incentives, as here:
The corporate W-2 is increasingly a form of serfdom
Corporate employees do not possess freedom of speech, freedom of association, or the right of self-defense
pregnant Woman goes viral over an incident on NYC streets
Her employer puts her on leave and will terminate her
It turns out she is in the right in this situation
Does it even matter?
The middle class doesn't fight because you will lose everything if you do
Lawsuits are the closest analogue to dueling in America
If you can't sue &/or withstand being sued you are not a free man
Most people only learn what their actual rights are when they get sodomized by a megacorp & "justice" costs $100,000
If one of your companies sponsored this event and accepted resumes from anyone, regardless of their self or actual identification, please reach out to me for legal representation against future discrimination claims.
Hopeful we can negotiate a settlement under 7 figs.
"Under Bukele, the requirements to stay out of trouble are very reasonable & clear, so ordinary people feel no threat from him — which was not true of either the gangs or the prior government, whatever the Salvadorian constitution said."
As long as I have y’all on my profile, please check out this video in which Murray School District, Utah PTA president sent us 7 LGBTQ Pride flags to be staked into our yard without our permission simply bc we don’t want gender/queer ideology in Murray City School District, UT.
Notice that the hammer falls hardest on moderates, not extremists

The lesson here is to NEVER, EVER, under any circumstances, turn your small IRL account into an anon account. An absolute rookie mistake that has doomed many people!
so why are RW grifters able to take such a stand?
Because they're small "wrapper" operations; they don't make their own product
As hiring scales, the odds of giving offense in a EEOC-relevant way (& therefore needing a DEI department to burn the requisite incense) approach 100%
So you can have an explicitly "right wing" corp, as long as it's a tight cabal of people who won't sue - which excludes any form of in-house manufacturing or distributed labor at scale
Basically if you're RW you may produce Content, but nothing else - & indeed that's what we see
If you care about the survival of human excellence, you should read BAP's dissertation
A fascinating intellectual history, and a defense of the radical notion that genius is better than mediocrity
Nobody would care about doxxing if it was just "strangers being mean to you online" or "making a ruckus with your lib in-laws", or even if it meant getting fired by a lib boss
Discrimination law is a bounty system, where corps get looted if they fail to punish ideological crimes
Everyone is playing games with "shamed and shunned" when what they mean is "fired."
If you don't have the freedom to comment on politics without being fired from your job, then you don't functionally have freedom of speech.
I just want to point out that the guys who leaned into their doxxing & planned a future around it were left completely alone the moment it was obvious that they were doing well
& the guys who tried to skulk back into HR's good graces have been hunted & scourged at every turn
I'm seeing pieces in the New York Times about how "cancel culture is dead"
Meanwhile they're sending people to prison for memes, protests, & "inflammatory rhetoric"
It was bad three years ago but I wasn't worried I might end up doing time
For corporations and governments, the precariousness of two-income families is a feature, not a bug
Their ideal citizen/employee literally has no idea what he would do if he lost his job
@extradeadjcb
The fragility of the two income household is underappreciated. All it takes is one spouse losing their job to cause chaos.
Elizabeth Warren actually wrote a book on this 20 years ago before she went insane
They're not worried about a consumer boycott, but an employee boycott, especially at the executive level
If Heineken positions itself as the "anti-woke" beer, suddenly having Heineken on your resume as an exec Raises Questions at every other Fortune 500
So what can be done about this? At the macro level, in the short run, not much
But at the individual level: look for jobs & industries that maximize individual sovereignty, where a lot of value can be created by a small team, & where scaling is hard (so you don't get eaten)
There's no institutional will to rebuild it because every institution in the West profits from the collapse
Intact families & communities have competing interests, non-negotiable values, illegible flows of power & wealth - they're harder to propagandize, harder to monetize & tax
It's hard to get your head around, because we imagined "finding the right person" or a relationship "working out" as an idiosyncratic, quasi-magical thing
Turns out it was actually a pretty complex infrastructure which was neglected (& sabotaged), & which has now collapsed
transgression is at the heart of their ideology
If they get you to bend the knee on the trans thing, it'll be the next thing, & the next thing, until they find something you won't tolerate
Truckers are the perfect revolutionary subject because not only do they have leverage over the supply chain and not only is their livelihood on the tech chopping block but also they listen to podcasts and books on tape all day
Loudoun County moms got the governor thrown out (despite being doxxed & investigated as domestic terrorists by the FBI) bc you can't get fired from being a homemaker
These kinds of actions need a critical mass of people who can weather media attacks & don't need a corporate W-2
Broke: Huffily declaring you'll never eat there
Woke: Organise large groups to go in, occupy all the tables, break out the most obvious Christian bling, constantly tell your servers how to be saved, and leave Gospel tracts everywhere
in the long run, these rules will continue to force Fortune 500 companies to alienate & expel their best talent
EXIT is a place for those people to get together & build new systems outside the purview of the HR regime
Billions of genetic lines will be terminated this century, a scale of loss without historical precedent
It won't be obvious as it happens, because instead of dying, all those billions will never be born - but the collapse is here, it's just being amortized across your lifetime
No more talk about "when society collapses" - society has ALREADY collapsed. It is ALREADY time to build a new one. Start as small as you need to - there's no sense in aiming to fix America if you can't yet build a family.
People don't do this because it's illegal at scale: a company can't have more than 100 or so employees without inviting the HR apparatus
The purpose of starting businesses is not to compete head to head with Citibank et al, but to build something that will survive their collapse
Instead of waiting for corporate America to stop with the woke insanity I'd encourage you to start businesses that can replace them
I'd greatly prefer that the financial titans of the next era share my values
Break these mfers
Their job is to be more woke than the wokest person at the company so that person can't sue
Women like this can take down the CEO, bc their power doesn't come from the corporation, it's backed by guns & prisons
The alignment of capital with the state is not an accident
We work remote & my wife homeschools
we're done paying thousands into a system we don't use at all, & that actively poisons my kids' friends
We're moving to a school choice state this year
Iowa & Utah just passed universal school choice.
Arizona & West Virginia passed universal school choice in the past 2 years
The 1st dominoes to fall.
Keep an eye on Arkansas, Florida, ID, Indiana, NE, Ohio, OK, SC, Texas, & WY
A universal school choice revolution has ignited.
They saw the beginnings of all the problems we're up against: hyper-specialization, alienation from "real life" & from each other, "the stereotyped forms of religion losing their hold"
both Seton & Baden-Powell's hatred for pro sports comes up throughout the book (they're right)
Every time they take out your SSI & Medicare taxes, remember you're never going to see a dime of it back - not enough babies, too many olds
& if you spend two decades raising skilled & productive children, this rotten, barren system will shake them down to stay solvent
And I must close by re-emphasizing that while limiting discretionary spending is helpful, mandatory spending (mainly SocSec, Medicare, Medicaid) is really the whole ballgame long-term. No amount of discretionary cuts or upper-income tax hikes can offset those soaring costs (/F)
lmao she said this at an all-hands
Disney will not be "reviewing", she will not be placed on leave, she will not be fired
She will cost them some money, but they're fine with that
It's not about money
SCOOP: I've obtained video from inside Disney's all-hands meeting about the Florida parental rights bill, in which executive producer Latoya Raveneau says her team has implemented a "not-at-all-secret gay agenda" and is regularly "adding queerness" to children's programming.
The material & social abundance of the 20th c meant your kids really didn't need that much from you
The economic conveyor belt picked them up at age 5 & as long as you didn't actively screw them up at home it dropped them off at the finish line
Cutting the umbilical was good
Social control is outsourced to corporate employers, laundered through HR departments in order to circumvent the 1st amendment
It's theater, but it's load-bearing theater - genuinely much more difficult for them to punish anyone outside the corporate W-2 system
Today, by controlling large corporations and letting them control markets, the party can make the imposition of their preferred cultural rules look natural, as if the marketplace demands it. It turns virtue into a vice by perverting the market mechanisms in favor of the party.
If you work at any publicly traded company, this woman is your boss
She's right: she can blackball anyone, up to & including the CEO, because every HR officer is just like her (because they're agents of the state & they're selected for political reliability)
the lawsuit is our culture's equivalent of the duel
being served a threat like this places you back in the state of nature, where it doesn't matter who is right, but who is stronger
A duel would be cleaner & more fair
After coming on MY social media & sending 7 Pride flags to MY home just bc I don’t believe in gender/queer ideology, this Murray,UT PTA president is threatening to sue me if I don’t remove my posts and formally apologize to her. Not happening. I’m DONE being bullied. Bring it on.
These firings are always framed in the media as a groundswell of outraged employees
In fact it's small cadres who threaten legal action against the company, because failing to punish political crimes "says a lot about the culture"
These firings are state actions
@DisneyJedi99
@_TechJess
I was just reminded this morning that when we asked a Blizzard North exec about what was going on with him, we were told: "we would get rid of him, if we could". Says a lot about the culture at Blizzard Irvine at the time and was obviously still a problem until recently.

46 - How Did the Taliban Win?
In this episode, I explore how non-state groups hide within, and eventually capture, the power flows that make a state a state, and what the Good Guys can learn from it.
Between school, debt, & pointless entry-level work, this process consumes the most vital & energetic decade of your life - all because we can't admit some very basic truths
I'm not going to let them do that to my kids - I'm building something different
It would be one thing if you could just demonstrate within 6 months that you're smart & competent, but in a bigcorp these entry-level jobs are miles away from the kind of work that a smart person would be good at
Instead you look dumb, & feel dumb, because you're bored
Have at 'er, trolls. Tell me how brave and tough you are, from behind your anonymous covers (your virtual mother's skirts). 99.9% cowards and trolls; 0.1% virtuous whistle-blowers. Which are you, in truth?

Pronouns aren’t preferred. They’re required.

then, when the industrial system with which you replaced those relationships starts to break down, the old structures have to be rebuilt
High culture is completely incompatible with Earning a Living, there has to be patronage
