RETVRN to physical books

This is a short intro post, and I'll write more in the comments section below since the various ideas I have are too extensive to put in one single post.

This is another area where I miraculously got lucky thanks to my parents, who did me a big favor by not allowing me to use any Internet devices until a certain age (which I hated at the time) and pushing me to read and think about things myself. I used to project this onto others, assuming they'd also grown up like me, and only as I've started to learn more have I realized what a disaster the entire society has become. 

I'm not delusional enough to think people will take my suggestions-- in fact, I imagine everything will continue to get even worse, as the collapse continues-- but it's worth saying anyways. It's more for anyone from the future, as well as any people alive now who have managed to hold onto their personality in the face of the evil society (which increasingly tries to take away people's dignity by turning them into addicts and consumers of various kinds and torturing them with a diet of fake garbage instead of real nourishing food, both literally and figuratively).

The main take-away is that any Millennials and Zoomers-- who are not actively in denial-- must RETVRN to books (physical books) and repent and refrain from spending their entire lives plugged into online opium 24/7. Ideally, they must also RETVRN to shopping around for them in a physical store rather than buying online. You also don't necessarily have to break the bank by buying new, there are plenty of thrift stores or used book-stores or antique stores with interesting high-quality stuff you would never have been exposed to otherwise. 

Even if you're too stubborn to change, and too smart to ever learn anything (like a lot of high IQ modern people), my advice is to push your kids or those in the broader community, if you don't have them yourself, in a more interesting direction, rather than condemn them to an endless diet of brain-rotting retarded digital slop.

A major cause of the total collapse of knowledge, creativity, insight, expertise, etc and our entering this new era of widespread hopelessly-retarded smug ignorance, has been the abandonment of books in favor of the Internet. You will be doing yourself a favor by escaping the fake treadmill / closed loop of porn, propaganda, and social media, and developing your individual interests, instead of becoming another arrogant clueless generic midwit dumping his or her slop on the manure pile of social media platforms.

  1. Trump green-lighting, easing restrictions on, and reclassifying marijuana, including allowing for more rEsEArCh and sTuDiEs on it.

    Fortunately he's not trying to throw people in jail for using drugs (and especially for the lighter ones) which is basically useless, has never solved anything, let alone eliminated drug use-- it's just another neocon conservative act, Mr Tough on Crime and the rest of the vigilante nonsense.

    Now that our entire society has devolved into total anarchy, with all kinds of bums and psychos unleashed on the normal people, we can see clearly that this was not due to an actual concern with stability or order (which they DGAF about) but rather it was to feed the Prison Industrial Complex as much as possible, by targeting more and more petty / pathetic / harmless crimes or non-crimes and turning them into serious grave offenses accompanied by long jail sentences, when they should have been punished by a slap on the wrist or admonishment at most.

    At the same time as these policies have appeared, the actual 1-2% of violent psychos, molesters, rapists, murderers, arsonists, and so on have all been given increasingly lighter and lighter sentences (a few months to a few years, at most), rather than being put in jail permanently. This was a form of minmaxxing for the wannabe administrators and managers and other parasites within the Prison-Complex: remove the hostile dangerous types (let the public deal with them) or keep them for as little as possible, and instead fill up the prison population with soft / harmless types all serving ridiculously long sentences.

    (Not that the left-wing NGO homeless complex slumlord types have been a lot better on this issue, compared to the right-wingers. If anything they seem to be cut from the same cloth, but that's another story.)

    It's just another case in which, as more and more of our actually-productive industry has been off-shored or destroyed, the wannabe white-collar managers have turned more and more of the mundane parts of American society into giant bureaucratic games, leading to the peak absurdity of 2020 where (from an outsider's POV) they all do the opposite of whatever their stated purpose was, while spending more than ever.

    In any case, hopefully this shrinks the already-bloated prison population, especially going into the future.

  2. From the socially conservative POV, which I understand few readers care about (but is still worth saying), I'll admit that I had no idea that this delusion about drugs was so widespread until I stumbled on it.

    I've never used drugs myself, and I saw this stuff somewhat in the background, but more as a harmless indulgence-- until it exploded, and seems to be rising like crazy after 2020. I don't know when there will be a backlash against this stuff, but it is worth stating: all drugs are harmful and poisonous, there is no such thing as a free panacea or magical solution in any part of life, and they should all be used with caution (if at all).

    The hallucinogenics mainly seem to accelerate mental breakdown and degradation, and potentially they also contribute to the early onset of conditions like schizophrenia-- a game of Russian roulette, basically, and not risks any normal person should be taking, let alone as a regular routine part of their life.

    People would unironically be better off using nicotine and smoking cigarettes, not because of the health benefits, but precisely because everyone is aware of what the consequences are, meaning that there are no delusions about healing anything-- just indulgence, which I'm fine with if it's understood as such.

    In fairness, the attitude of the elites themselves has also radically shifted from being discouraging or shaming or cautioning (which I can still remember during the 2000s) to now indulgent and who-cares and even encouraging-- and they are increasingly dependent on ketamine, psychedelics, weed, etc themselves for their own survival. No wonder the entire society seems deranged.

    This is also what's created a delusional industry of studies 'proving' the benefits of living this extreme hardcore lifestyle, even rebranding it as healthy, and encouraging more and more victims to sign up for it, rather than actively warning them. Crazy.

  3. Widespread drug and alcohol use-- as any real expert would tell you-- mainly falls into the deaths of despair category, ie coping or slow suicide (for people who want to slowly destroy themselves rather than pull the trigger, jump off a bridge, etc), and that is in turn due to the destruction caused by libertarian policies. This is why it's way more prominent among whites, no college degree, in formerly industrialized / wealthy areas, etc although by now it seems to be even consuming the elites themselves, in a weird kind of horseshoe theory.

    You can look at some maps here:

    https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/cause-of-death/drug-use/by-country/

    https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/cause-of-death/alcohol/by-country/

    As I've explained before, my suspicion is that the campaign or push on the left is a way of allowing the victims of the society a free source of opium (no different from widespread pornography) so that they have a way of feeling better and indulging themselves a little bit, while the entire thing becomes more and more broken. It's not an actual socialist or leftist policy, let alone is it pro-worker, but more like abandoning people to succumb or even encouraging them-- very cynical.

    Unfortunately the conservative / right-wing side is largely complicit, which is why they are too retarded to talk about the dangers, and try to warn people, let alone take a look at the broader problem and what could be done. It would ultimately be traced back to them and their libertarian suicide-cult ideas, so instead they either do nothing and maybe try to make a buck off of it (slumlords) or if they do offer some condemnation, it's rarely an actual warning ('think about the risks, dangers') but rather more like an annoying individualistic lecture ('you're a degenerate'), but always trying to draw attention away from the root cause of the problem.

  4. This is also just another typical, even expected, massive L for the so-called 'conservative Christian' right movement, who are largely just a joke in their ability or willingness to protect, conserve, defend etc the society and especially the areas which-- as conservatives-- are supposed to be their responsibility.

    They are supposed to be the ones pushing for responsibility, calm, the old ways (as opposed to endless experimentation), and so on.

    And of course nobody forced them to go through with this and keep the delusion going, and nor does Trump owe anything to the left.

    It's another reason why I'll never do them any favors, let alone propagandize for them. 40-50 yrs of based conservative-cult members, starting with Reagan and Thatcher and continuing on until Trump, and now:

    -Prison and asylum members roam the streets, commit crimes, and then get released again

    -Nobody has any kids, due to most aspects of life being unaffordable

    -Everyone is fat, and everyone is on some drug or another

    -Entire neighborhoods and even major cities are filled up with foreigners who don't even speak the language of their country of residence

    -Every productive industry has been off-shored

    -Pornography is more common on the Internet than mundane normal things like recipes

    -More and more of the population grows up without both parents and all kinds of abandonment, neglect, abuse regularly occurs

    And so on and so forth. Maybe, if we just give them another four years...

    Then you go online, and basically all they do is go around blaming brown people (who have been here for 5 minutes), women, Chyna, and really whichever group they can find, in order to try and deflect the blame, rather than address the increasingly awful state of their society.

  5. Finally, notice where else this phenomenon (deaths of despair) is very common: Eastern Europe.

    I wonder what happened in Eastern Europe?

    Notice how similar our own situation is: abandonment and rotting of productive industry (especially manufacturing) and scientific projects (like the space race) in favor of massive bureaucratic scams and wealth-transfer from the 90-95% to the top 1%, oligarchs and slumlords openly looting the society, loss of faith in experts and the broader vision, formerly wealthy areas sliding into poverty, civil anarchy, hyper-inflation, etc.

  6. It's also worth saying, even if it's a niche online debate and not something the public cares about, but the Soviet Union at its peak of military power, scientific ability, economic strength etc was the real impressive and amazing thing to come out of Europe during the entirety of the 20th century, from the American POV-- not the Nazis, not genetic determinism or Freud, and certainly not modern art or any of the rest of the Weimar-style garbage (which they are still trying to keep relevant, or even revive).

    Propaganda always tries to slander the enemy as being both bumbling and incompetent, and at the same time uniquely menacing. So we're supposed to believe that the Soviet system was run by bumbling stooges who went around killing everyone off in the hope of attaining their pointless economic goals, and yet at the same time they were the only military in Europe to annihilate the Nazis (and conquer most of the Germanic sphere), they put the first man in space, and managed to be the #2 industrial and scientific power-- second behind only the United States of America in the 50s-- not a bad achievement, especially after a massive world war.

    Also, for whatever reason, the online LARPers always fixate on the Nazis-- when they were the biggest cucks and losers of the era. They were a fanatic death cult that got way too high on its own supply, after winning a few battles against decadent societies like France and Britain (and teeny nations like the Netherlands, Denmark, etc) they genuinely believed themselves to be superior to the Slavs and whatever, and then got sucked into a totally hopeless unwinnable war, which rapidly turned into a humiliation session for them.

    The long grueling march back to Berlin was full of seething autistic meltdowns, and then by the end the so-called 'genetically superior' side was moving divisions that didn't exist, giving orders to generals that had deserted, just totally lost... and then all that was left was to shuffle off the stage.

    They were occupied by the Soviets for the next 50 years.

  7. In fairness to the alt-right types, most of them aren't even Germans, which is they all use the word 'Germanic' to identify themselves. Meaning: not from anywhere in modern-day Germany or Austria, not German-speakers (or aware of any of their high culture), but from the peripheral teeny nations like Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, the Baltic States of Western Europe.

    And in some cases, they're not even from Europe-- they're people whose ancestors FLED Germany 150 yrs ago to become 2nd-class citizens in America, where they could make more money. The US government was still worried about them well after the Victorian era (referring to them as hyphenated Americans).

    Pathetic that instead of assimilating into American culture, these retards are grasping for the approval of people they have no connection to (or even appropriating Euro accomplishments as their own). Low-energy losers!

  8. And of course the muh genes muh industrial powerhouse and muh nordic superiority stuff has been amped up, right as the actual basis of German economic dominance (manufacturing industry) is COLLAPSING due to their retarded attempt at preventing Russia from conquering Ukraine. Masochism runs deep with these people, and getting humiliated 70-80 yrs ago wasn't enough.

    They missed the chance to brag about their economic dominance during the 2000s or 2010s, when it was legit, but they can't see reality-- so they're bragging about it right as it's literally collapsing. Nice!

    Genes and high IQ are all well and good, and if anything I'm favor of people being proud of their heritage (assuming it's real, not just an American in disguise), and of course I have a lot of respect for Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, all that good stuff, etc.

    However, genes and high IQ are not what actually keeps the lights on, and especially not what keeps a powerful industrial economy running. They are necessary, but the main ingredient was cheap energy, from Russia.

    Now that the cheap energy is no longer cheap, or isn't coming (see Nordstream), the entire thing is going up in smoke-- high or no high IQ-- and Germany is joining the UK, France, and the other shithole service sector economies of Europe.

  9. (And it goes without saying, but any real German nationalist would be doing the exact OPPOSITE of the death cult LARPers: pushing to get NATO and American troops out of Germany, making deals with the Russians, and abandoning Ukraine, in order to save their economy and standard of living.)

  10. Going back to Trump and the other neocon moron stooges (always sad to see something that could've gone somewhere, devolve into a boring & lame wannabe TV show) the one good thing is that they are finally getting rid of wokeness, including now the tranny stuff, thank God.

    Nobody wanted that garbage, and everyone tacitly understood it was ridiculous. It shouldn't have even been allowed in the first place-- a sign of how insane the society became over the last few years-- but now everyone is fed up. And yeah, contrary to the lame propaganda about how all Gen-Zers being ultra gay leftists or whatever, this change is only taking place now that they make up most of the 'young people'. Wokeness was a Millennial thing, just another aspect of them being mentally ill, and now that they're embarassingly out-of-touch and their big Democrat bosses don't care enough about the issue, it's over and not gonna last for long.

    Good riddance!

  11. The whole tranny syndrome is just some kind of weird perverted fetish, and this is true on both sides (supporters and the actual freaks themselves). The fact that it's so widespread among the elites is a reflection of how many degenerates there are within that group. This is unfortunately also a bipartisan issue, it's just that Republican partisans are more gullible on average and so they think that only Democrats are capable of degeneracy, being gay, etc.

    Trannies themselves do not act, think, speak, look, or do anything like women, not even remotely. You can just do a basic check, and compare them and their mental patterns with your mom / sister / relatives or any girl you've been friends with or dated. Zero overlap, LOL. And yes that includes the tomboy types, the cool / badass chick ones, and even the more schizo and paranoid / suspicious women, not just the more shy feminine ones: none of them are like that. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just getting paid to lie, or is literally retarded, since the pattern is beyond obvious.

    Trannies psychologically come off as hyper-autistic (not a very feminine problem, typically). This means Verbal IQ > Spatial IQ, they are practically incapable of noticing patterns, and they seem to spend their time perpetually trapped in their own heads and tortured by Byzantine abstract mental constructs that literally nobody else thinks about. Socially they're basically all stuck with 7 yr old victim complexes, revenge fantasies, delusions of grandeur, and other obsessions that no healthy adult (let alone an adult woman) would have. If women in general were like that, we would have died out as an entire species long, long ago.

    In other words, it's just a spergy dude, wearing a wig-- and maybe with some surgeries, in order to alter his flesh-suit, to really amp up the serial killer effect.

  12. Another noticeable part of the whole (fake) movement is that these guys are almost always some of the most creepy and disdainful towards women, in their actual behavior. And all while pretending to be the leaders of a feminist vanguard.

    The few prominent cases where I remember reading really insanely unhinged / 'you wouldn't say that to your mother' type of embarrassing bitterness and hatred towards women is browsing forums or videos when they were bullying TERFs and others off the Internet, as well as I think those who were anti-prostitution (nothing more liberating for women than turning into market commodities).

    Leftists always put on this totally fake 'male ally' and 'empathetic nice guy' front, but when they actually get the chance to indulge in their feelings, it's just seething disdain-- then they quickly put the mask back on and go back to pretending to be good little feminist allies and so on, there's just nothing more pathetic and fake and gay.

    The only other part of the Internet where you see equivalent pent-up hatred of women on such a scale would-- in an ironic example of horseshoe theory-- the alt-right / bitter incel bridages and their social media forums. (And most of those faggots probably do have some type of tranny fetish.)

  13. Personal anecdote time, to switch it up a little bit. This is to show that aside from my ideological views as a BASED CONSERVATIVE or whatever, I also have personal experience in this stuff.

    I was at a boarding school, so we had to share dorms with a bunch of people, bunk-beds, that type of arrangement. I moved around a lot, but this is back when we were living in a more wealthy, liberal, progressive area and whatnot, so there were the usual demographics around.

    So of course there were a couple trannies / Beyond Women TM. They looked like autistic and geeky guys, didn't say much, not even remotely feminine, but we just left them alone.

    And since it's literally fucking 20-whatever, they all got assigned to share space with the girls, couldn't have it any other way, etc.

    Fast-forward a few weeks, and there was some major drama, and a handful of people got kicked out including one of them. Now, in today's world, power-tripping, intrigues, and so on are all fairly common, and I try not to get involved: so I paid no attention to it. I also knew some other people who got kicked out, for minor shit, so figured it was typical irrelevant stuff.

    However-- I was talking to a female friend later on, and the subject came up.

    She told me they got kicked out for stealing. Naturally I said something like damn hopefully it wasn't anything valuable yada yada, and then she told me... they got kicked out for stealing girl's panties.

    Serial killer shit-- and of course if any one of us hereto normal guys had done even a fraction of that, like flirting with a girl too hard or whatever, we would have had our reputation destroyed, banned forever, burned in public, etc. But because this was a left-wing figure, it just got quietly swept under the rug as something normal.

  14. In an earlier post Rintrah wrote about the EU's 2050 emissions standards, I was tempted to ask-- will the E.U itself even make it to 2050, in order to enforce their standards? They are stagnant, falling apart due to their own self-contradictions (and trying to adjust in order to fix things, but ultimately making things worse), and so on. Once the French or the British or Germans elect new parties... it'll be over, no matter how hard the Dutch or the Belgians try to keep them relevant.

    As for the future of America's current political parties, it's starting to become clear it's the same. The current system itself will not make, and I don't think both parties will be a part of the future, though maybe they will keep LARPing and LARPing while becoming more and more irrelevant in real time (like they're doing now).

    Back when our country worked, we assumed politicians were serious people doing serious things. They still wore suits, they gathered together to debate serious things, they certainly sounded smart (with their graphs and experts and whatnot).

    Now that our country doesn't work, and the whole system is failing, it's starting to become clear that these guys are not even close to the best or the smartest or most competent, but really just a bunch of gay debate club nerds from the East Coast.

    They get paid to sit around and trade insults on Twitter, or come up with neat sounding 'solutions', but really they have no solutions or answers, it's all repeating and reenacting the stuff that has already been tried (and failed) in previous decades, maybe with added emotional intensity to compensate for how lame it all is. And they have no awareness of how dumb and retarded they come across to the average person. They smugly see themselves as being superior, when if anything I'd say that they're both dumb and incompetent-- certainly not the group you want in charge during a crisis.

    Now after decades of leeching off of the public, they've reached a deadlock where they just blame each other for the various problems that are erupting (or point the finger at foreigners). Meanwhile all these problems only get worse, but they're totally unwilling to compromise and dial things down in order to implement a plan.

    They'll simply have to be replaced by those with real skills, while they sit around and play their pointless theatrical games-- and if not now, then certainly in the near future as things steadily worsen.

  15. If you step aside from the short-term political slop, and try to view things from the more sensible point of view, the situation is that we are in trillions of dollars in debt, suffering from rapid inflation (which they are merely trying to disguise or shrug off, but is still ongoing). Major nations are already ditching us, forming their own trade bloc, and even some of our allies like the Euros could join them soon if there's a political shake-up.

    Just ask yourself: how high would taxes have to go, and how many programs would have to be slashed, in order to even begin to turn things around?

    Funnily enough, we're not even spending less, or maintaining the same level of spending, in the face of imminent disaster: we are spending MORE.

    Then you have things like the entire USAID spectacle, ultimately nothing other than a theatrical distraction (for one side to feel like humanitarians, and for the other to feel like cynical realists), but was revealing because of the level of screeching about it-- and yet it was a drop in the bucket, basically, of our national spending. Not to mention that we're getting ready to spend more on a new forever war, (Venezuela) while still funding Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, etc.

    If even cutting one minor and irrelevant area is that difficult, now imagine the super-bloated thing that are bleeding us dry.

    Or, for the right-wing version, imagine trying to raise various taxes to even the levels of the 90s (let alone the 50s). Republicans would collapse!

    The elites are too corrupt and greedy, thanks to decades of easy money, and there are too many parasites leeching off the US, which even minor change is impossible-- and precisely at a time when we need radical measures. So the only way 'out' of the current predicament is for the whole thing to collapse.

  16. I'll also say, now that I'm talking about social issues, that there's currently an attempt on the part of Millennials to blame Zoomers for every single problem they've caused, now that the tide is really turning against them.

    Namely everyone is tired of their shit, especially wokeness and the insane terrorist type of left-wing stuff, but also the entire snarky / self-indulgent / ironic tone and perpetual victim (but actual aggressor) behavior.

    Since Zoomers are not on Twitter (except for a handful of gay retards, really the *least* representative examples) there's simply nobody to push back against this stuff, so they just manufacture endless propaganda about how unhinged and hysterical Gen-Zers are, how they're all a bunch of lefty snowflakes, when that's exactly who Millennials are.

    Some of them are even saying things like, 'Oh yeah, you know those of us who've experienced the old days, we're also really tired of these arrogant young people, you know what I mean, back in my day...' Just the most pathetic Boomer slop LOL!

    Sorry you're not Gen X, let alone Boomers or Silents, YOU GUYS are the ones everyone thinks are part of the decline. Stop trying to switch sides, now that you're no longer cool, and stop trying to avoid blame for literally every single problem in your lives. It's just sad at this point, these people will soon be in their 40s and are still blaming everyone else.

    The fact that actual real young people (Gen Z) shifted big-time to Trump should have been a wake-up call for anyone still consuming that slop, as well for the ones peddling it, but they chose to ignore reality in order to keep feeding their delusions.

  17. Observers of the political system saw that young people during the 2010s-- Millennials-- were all big time consumers of self-indulgent therapy speak, they saw that they were all ultra-snarky and ironic and super gay, they saw that they were die-hard Democrats and leftists, and so on, but instead of realizing that this was just a particular case they naively assumed it would last forever: all young people will vote for the left, they will all be super woke, etc.

    In reality, it was more of a case of the pendulum for one gen swinging all the way to the left, which meant the next one was going to shift to the right.

    The Democrats of the 2010s and 2020 were the absolute worst anyone has ever seen: killing Trump supporters, stealing elections, looting and rioting, ruining anyone's lives for disagreeing with them or not being completely in favor of Ukraine / BLM / vaccines, just one retarded thing after another. And all of it with this absolute moral certitude and divine fury, while at the same it was basically driven by people who belonged in prisons and mental hospitals.

    The worst of it was the whole Rittenhouse thing, where they were crying and moaning about not being able to execute a 17 yr old, and then acting as if these mobs of criminals just had a divine right to go around looting American cities.

    Naturally no young person, let alone a cool or interesting one, is going to jump on a sinking ship like that one-- and that's why they have very little actual support for Gen-Zers. The ones who are leftists are all Bernie types of some sort; Democrats are too awful to really be exciting for young people. That's why their party is just a lame circle-jerk for Millennial.

  18. Another tremendous L for the American right has been the whole pivot to Qatar and Saudi Arabia, fully embracing actual jihadism, and selling their dignity for a cut of the dirty money (not that they had much dignity to begin with), which has taken place over the last year or two. I don't watch these fools much, but it has become more noticeable.

    The Pentagon has always been the biggest long-term ally of the Saudis and the Gulf nations, so that's no surprise, but the so-called 'radical' 'anti-establishment' America 1st types were supposed to counter all that.

    Now they openly dance on stage for the sheiks!

    As I said earlier, it's deeply retarded and cynical to endlessly seethe, whine, and rage at Israel for attacking the USS Liberty half a century ago, while literally slurping up money and doing favors for the people who were responsible for 9/11: the definition of being an absolute spineless cuck, with no standards whatsoever. And, to praise Israel (things I never thought I'd say), at least that was a warship and not some random buildings with no military purpose.

    Now that the media is simply Millennial-slop (new) replacing Boomer-slop (lame, old), though just as emotional and dumb, part of that shift has been rebranding the Israelis from the military heroes, bringers of civilization, Judeo-Christian values, settlers of a rugged wasteland, and so on to being the villains of the story.

    In fairness, it's hard to tell that story about superior moral values when all they do is bomb women and children, and it's hard for the audience to swallow the military triumph LARP as they're getting forced out of Northern Israel by Hezbollah, having their ports shut down by the Houthis (along with sporadic missile strikes), and getting bombed by Iran, all while burning trillions of dollars.

    But really most of this is not logical or rational, it's simply due to Millennials being anti-Boomers, so they just want to invert whatever narrative the Boomers told themselves. None of it is concerned with stopping America's meddling in the M-E, the totally parasitic defense department and contractors (who are really to blame for foreign wars), and so on: it's just making this tiny nation the villain, so the followers have someone to hate during the show, and so there's no criticism of the state department or CIA or anything like that.

    I think it's really a form of controlled opposition, abandoning the Israelis (in terms of the narrative, rather than military support), and redirecting all the fury at years of wasteful wars at them, while the bigger problems like the Saudis, the Pentagon, are ignored for obvious reasons.

    Now what we're supposed to believe is something like this. Invading Iraq and Afghanistan? Israel manipulated the poor innocent Pentagon and Lindsey Graham into doing it! Shooting Charlie Kirk and trying to kill Trump? Netanyahu was behind both! Pearl Harbor? Believe it or not, the Zionists actually traveled to Japan and got them to attack us!!!!! And on and on it goes.

    They've simply repeated the exact same tired Boomer pattern of suspecting Iran (right-wing) or Russia (left-wing) being behind every single school shooting, failed political campaign, or whatever in America, because these FOREIGNERS are so JEALOUS of AMERICAN FREEDOM that they just want to sabotage us no matter what. Now it's Israel or maybe the Jews (for the right-wingers) who are behind every bad decision, shooting, etc.

    Not being a Boomer is not some kind of magical achievement, and especially if you're just replacing their ideology with an even more dumbed-down version of it!

  19. The so-called Christian Right are also the biggest cheerleaders and funders of the destruction and massacre of actual Christians and their communities in the M-E, as well as Islamic terrorism in the rest of the world. All of that fanatical, violent, intolerant stuff is directed by the Saudis (ISIS, Al Qaeda, the current reband in Syria, etc).

    This is why no amount of voting for these Tough on Islam clowns ever ends terrorism, at home or abroad, they are deeply in bed with the forces behind this stuff. Instead they just redirect the anger at the nations that are not responsible for it, like Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, but who stubbornly refuse to become their vassals.

  20. Hamas is an extension of that, BTW.

    It's a fake army, a bunch of teenagers taking on a superior military, and the rest of it is made up of very well-paid leaders who pose for photo-ops in Qatar and LARP as rebels. They are controlled opposition, created by the Israelis (as everyone knows), and still very much a part of that network: it's just a way of providing the Zionists an excuse for launching their genocide.

    It also works to constrain debate in the West, since the entire thing becomes a fight between rabid neocons who think the more innocent people dead, the better, and a gang of criminals and terrorists-- both of these people are actually in favor of the same outcome.

    Meanwhile in Lebanon, it was Hezbollah that protected Christians from ISIS during the 2010s (who were lavishly funded and supplied by the Pentagon). But since they aren't bootlickers, and have had actual military success against the America-Saudi coalition, nobody will admit that. Instead they'll go down on the sinking ship of defending Islamic terrorism, while pretending to be brave warriors of the faith or whatever-- absolutely pathetic.

  21. This is not to say that I am now Jew Lover #1 or suddenly converting to Israel support, just pointing what I think is the intention behind that sudden shift and who's funding it.

    The Israelis being some kind of high IQ superpower military state was Boomer slop from the 70s (miraculously still floated as new these days), whose emotional content has just been inverted for the gullible younger generations.

    They're nothing other than a proxy we rely on to handle some of our dirty work in the region, and an increasingly powerless, losing, and irrelevant one at that-- stooping to total madness and suicidal behavior.

    They are no different from Ukraine, Taiwan, our allies in Afghanistan, the Gulf states, and all the other places where the MIC / Deep State is dumping trillions of dollars and even sacrificing American lives for nothing: it's just one example of the broader pattern, and nothing to fixate on individually.

    We need to GTFO the whole thing, not just one place.

  22. As for DA JOOS, I'm somewhat in the middle.

    They're smart and creative, have accomplished great things in various host societies, including now in America. In many ways like other 'smart' ethnic groups living in America, like the Chinese, Indians, etc, more biased towards being elite liberals, living in big cities, high IQ (but not many hands-on professions), that type of thing.

    On the other hand, they have a long and well-recorded history of scandals, gypsy behavior, Ponzi schemes, and other abuses against their host nations. They certainly have parasite / anti-social tendencies, which obviously I don't support at all.

    Unfortunately the cocksuckers on the right are too pro-elitist to bring that up, though. Their basic philosophy is that anything the masses do is inferior, normie, pathetic, etc-- but on the other hand if a Jew runs a financial scam, or an Indian rips you off with fake medicine, that's the height of genius, Faustian spirit, amazing accomplishment.

    The West did not become great, or rich, by rewarding parasitic behavior, fraud, and Ponzi schemes in general.

    Unfortunately a lot of America these days *is* a scam, some of it being done by foreigners and some of it being done by natives (depending on the industry), and this makes it very difficult to act against fraud in general. Dishonest people make sure to punish honesty / integrity, because a little bit of it would threaten to expose the whole thing, in the same way that losers will get angry when anyone confronts them with reality.

  23. The prime example of that would be Zelenskyy, just the latest in a long tradition of ripping off and selling out the host nation-- and anyone not calling that out is either totally corrupt or hopelessly naive. He really is the mother of all scammers.

    The entire goal for him and his band of oligarchs is just to siphon off as much money as they can, from both sources: the American taxpayer, and the Ukrainian / Slavic people they're technically in charge of (but are really abandoning, impoverishing, and sending to their deaths).

    They do a little bit of acting-- plenty of Hollywood stars have been Jewish-- and these little performances allow the depressed gay bureaucrats in the West to feel like they're doing something meaningful and real, which they really crave.

    It' just an addiction for losers who need to vicariously watch other people get killed in order to feel like a badass, rather than admit to being a powerless impotent middle-aged faggot, complete with WW2 references for extra brain-rot.

    They don't realize that the joke is on them: the clips of Russian orcs getting owned are cheap opium to get high on temporarily, but at the long-term expense of wasting billions for nothing, then having to eat high prices for everything due to inflation, and while still taking an absolute massive inevitable loss, just like in Afghanistan.

    My only hope is that they flee to Israel next, once that takes place (which it will, no matter how hard Trump attempts to delay it). If they can all gather together there, hopefully we can all watch them get annihilated by ballistic missiles from Iran or Lebanon in 2035. That won't be getting our taxpayer money back, but it will provide a kind of karmic satisfaction, and it's an outcome that in many ways they've worked very hard to deserve.

  25. In terms of lame dated WW2 comparisons, the Ukrainians are like the Nazis. I don't mean that in a moralizing, screeching, I'M OFFENDED, hysterical, way.

    More in the sense that they're fanatical, a death cult in a mad fight against reality, needing endless copium to delude themselves further while staring at defeat, prone to raging meltdowns and lashing out for no reason, and just being sad losers in general, both them and their supporters.

    The actually winning and successful side has been the one to be restrained, patient, clever, focused on the long-term rather than getting sucked into short-term provocations, minimizing pointless casualties rather than indulging in orgies of bloodshed, and just generally (and literally) sober, like most actual winners in life are.

    ReplyDelete
  26. All these things are obvious to outside observers, of course, but our bizarre joke of a society is 100% committed to the idea that racking up humiliating losses is akshually winning, technically: and therefore the more losses we take, and the bigger those losses are, the more we are spiritually winners. It sounds insane, but they really do believe this, as shown by their behavior of getting into as many conflicts as they can while prolonging all the existing ones, even if they have no chance of winning any of them individually let alone collectively.

    It's the classic loser behavior of being such a petty faggot that you double down as hard as possible on a losing hand, instead of just folding, and then turn a minor loss into a tremendous, possibly existential, disaster. This kind of unhinged behavior has never resulted in any wins, or in any good outcomes.

    However, we're living in the century of fucking around, and finding out. Fucking around, by putting morons in charge of everything-- and finding out, that these retards, who smugly congratulate themselves on being superior to "the normies", are literally special needs, basically no more mature than 7 yr olds.

  27. The same kind of upside-down logic holds for the Vivek disaster, which is unfolding at the moment.

    This is another massive L for conservatives, and just a further extension of their AI-powered cuck torture chamber 3000 experience: American online MAGA supporters are one of the saddest groups on Earth.

    Vivek is simply another globalist. He wants to dissolve the entire concept of American nationality, using the pretext of 'racism' (in the most diverse country on Earth, BTW) all so that major corporations and oligarchs like himself can haul in cheap labor on a massive scale from 3rd world countries in order to keep wages for natives as low as possible, and then even call that traditional patriotism.

    You'll get paid nothing, and you'll be happy!

    Precisely what the founding fathers would have wanted, and the kind of world our great grandparents worked hard to bring about-- one where foreigners and native oligarchs steal everything, every American has 4 part-time jobs which all pay $11 an hour, and the entire economy is unaffordable due to being controlled by mega-companies.

    In a normal world, a guy like that would have never been allowed to join the Republican Party, or even have been given American citizenship-- not for the crime of having brown skin, or for not being a descendant of the people who came on the Mayflower (many Americans are Irish, Italian, Polish, German, rather than purely Anglo), but simply for being a totally dishonest scammer and fraud, who not only rips off the generous host nation but is now lecturing the natives on *their* responsibilities!

    When your entire nation worships greed, and your financial system / economy gets turned into one giant mega-scam, it's funny at first, because of all the meme-coins and dogecoins and shitcoins, and you can invest money in all kinds of retarded slop and become a billionaire, and OMG the line goes up, and yay we're all gonna make it!!!

    Then the problem inevitably arises that you wind up with parasites everywhere, leaders who are totally averse to honest work, just like most gypsies and thieves are, but unlike them these guys have tremendous social and political power, while being scammers, and can cause massive damage. That's who actually rises to the top, when the entire system only incentivizes fraud, and there's where we're at right now.

  28. Here's a channel I watch sometimes:

    https://www.youtube.com/@AngryOldHoops

    Back in the 2010s, they would've called him a 'conspiracy theorist' and cancelled him for not saying that this trash was the best entertainment in the world-- but now that Zoomers make up the majority of the audience, he can indulge in his instincts and tell the truth about what's gone wrong, and people (including younger audiences) will appreciate him for it.

    He does overdo it a little biiiiit on the whole 'tuff guy' thing, but it's worth looking into a little bit because he really exposes how the entirety of the sport of basketball got rewritten to give Millennials a trophy. Basically giving them an extra +10 pts every game, and all they do is flop and whine and cheat, zero athleticism or skill or talent whatsoever.

  29. Even if you don't watch sports (which I don't) it's worth watching because of how power-tripping everything is these days, and it's always in favor of the already-powerful authority figures, never fair to the weaker people.

    Same reason why most Zoomers hate teachers these days.

  30. From my own experience, it seems like the most into conspiracy theories (at least on the Internet) have always been Gen-Xers. It could be garden-variety stuff, like thinking this or that is rigged, and go up from there to viewing the whole gov't as being controlled by Martians or whatever.

    Boomers I don't know about. Some of them seem fairly based, others are more the Karen type.

    On the other hand, Millennials seem to be the most smug and dismissive of all that stuff. It's like they all have a tendency to regurgitate whatever slop some guy with a beard and some graphs is selling, it doesn't matter how absurd it all is, they just can't help but bring themselves to agree with it. Same thing with the whole "Science" thing or X-based (reason-based, evidence-based, policy-based, whatever) they just can't resist it.

    I think it stems from being sheltered. Basically the more time you spend in a passive vegetative environment, isolated from everyone else, the less your brain gets to actually develop. This is unrelated to adult IQ, which is still there. It's more about attitudes, beliefs, habits and so on. People like that wind up needing an expert or pseudo-expert to give them an explanation, just like mom and dad swooping in to tell them what to believe on some issue, they never ask any questions, and they have a similar level of belief in whatever the experts have told them (mom and dad wouldn't lie to you).

    Whereas if you got a decent amount of experience as a kid and as a teenager, it means your brain is more developed and active. People like that will be more in the suspicious, cynical, direction: reading a motive into things, even if sometimes there isn't one, not just going with the default official narrative of the day.

  31. (These remarks are inspired by browsing 4Chan.)

    I'm posting this little mini-rant here, in an older post, to signal that it's out-dated and I'm planning to move on from shit-slinging in the future, bury the hatchet of generational trauma, and everything else:

    I know it sounds rude, and I shouldn't keep coming back to the exact same topics, but I'm starting to really hate Millennials. Especially now that I've been more exposed to them, since I fortunately don't have a lot of them in my family (more biased towards Gen X, and the Silent Gen).

    IRL I was fooled by the passivity and blankness and autism into thinking that they were meek or gentle people, but now I've learned that basically that's not true at all.

    They're essentially a kind of lost generation reboot. I'm going to avoid their content in the future-- it's not even funny how much better off you are reading older people's content (anyone Gen X and above) in terms of basic information, honesty, and level of insight.

    And it's not a question of experience, but really just the widespread terrible hostile anti-social attitude they all have.

    Yeah I know, it's a very harsh assessment, and there are exceptions here and there, but generally speaking you can always tell who's a certain age on the Internet and it boils down to something as simple as communicating in a sincere / clear / mature tone, being willing to admit to being wrong or uncertain about this or that, and really just the basic attitude of politeness and respect for others, even if they aren't identical to you in their beliefs or the exact same age or whatever-- with 99% of them, you can instantly tell because they all have this tone of contemptuous ironic snarky dismissive superiority.

    I could tolerate some of this stuff it it were *actually* coming from a genuine place of superiority, the way some great scientists or artists were terrible people personally but indispensable for society, or if they were some kind of superior generation that had accomplished breathtaking things and were proud about it, naturally-- but we all know who we're talking about here. It's just an entire group of people that got funneled through college by the Boomers, who made sure that every single test was rigged in their favor for their entire lives, and watered almost everything down so that they would never face any serious opposition until their 30s and 40s, and while patting them on the back at the same time. The average Millennials has no intelligence or ambition or humility or curiosity or knowledge to show for it, despite being 4 or 5 times more 'educated' in credential terms than any other generation, and most of them have never had to develop a single useful trait, it's basically a midwit hive of HR women (who are into true crime) and skinny-fat beard guys (who like craft beer).

    Not exactly the peak of humanity.

    And then when one does show up that isn't as profoundly broken and dumb as the others, everyone acts like it's a kind of miracle, precisely because of how abysmally low the standards are for them-- shocking event, it has a brain and it moves!

    Quick, what is it saying?

    'Everything I do deserves a trophy, my very existence on this Earth is a special achievement, now worship me.'

    WOAH!!!!!

  32. And then on top of all that, as I said above they pair their mediocre status and IRL irrelevance with the most insane contempt and disdain for everyone else. Basically seething dismissal of all humans on Earth that are not part of their retarded niche circlejerk.

    'Woah, dude, you've said the n-word???? Holy shit, so based...'

    'Woah, dude / xer / x-ing etc, you have seven different hair colors AND tattoos?????? Holy shit, so unique!'

    Talk about grandiose narcissism, Jesus fucking Christ...

    There's already a big generational divide among "young people" between the Woke / BLM / shoot up the school types and the Zoomers who were not into that shit, or too young, and are now hostile to it.

    And even the ones who are into shooting things are going after politicians and healthcare CEOs, not a bunch of random classmates who never did anything to you.

    It's the same reason why the 25-and-under cohort increasingly hates teachers, which is showing up a little bit now on the Right. It has nothing to do with attention spans or Tik Tok, but really just the typical attitude of endlessly lecturing you about your crimes and inherent sinfulness, from a position of haughty superiority, while not even being close to impressive or superior themselves.

  33. At roots it's a very toxic anti-social attitude, where even expressing sincere interest in anyone else is seen as a sign of weakness (an admission of not being an all-knowing superior genius) and so every expression of curiosity, sincerity, nostalgia, open-mindedness, 'weakness', or whatever just has to be policed out of existence.

    That leads to the 'peak retarded' behavior you see on Twitter, where they'll say things that are flagrantly wrong, but in a tone of self-assured confidence, without even hesitating.

    This another basic point, that isn't really appreciated as much by older people: Millennial irony isn't really actual irony.

    They don't use it to make fun of people that are pretentious, arrogant, absurdly out-of-touch with the real world, or other basic uses of irony. It's more like a tool for mass conformity, which gets used on the people who *are* interesting, non-conformist, humble, polite, etc in order to weed out the good traits and replace them with evil ones.

    It's become a kind of tool for enforcing conformity (as seen on Reddit, and even IRL) but doing that in the gayest way possible rather than confronting someone directly.

  34. Anyways, rant over, just wanted to get that off my chest.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Well, "rant over", except for one more thing, which I want to state just for the record--

    It was really the influx of this same midwit hive that was responsible for weaponizing science and the sCieNTiFiC coMMuNiTy into this giant vicious cult of raging intolerant losers, all with an 'you're either WITH US or AGAINST US' attitude on just about every interesting or useful question. And for no reason at all except to just feed the endless obsession with 'being on the right side of history', cancelling innocent people, and waging neverending purposeless counter-productive witch hunts.

    It's this obsession with picking fights and being right, even though that's not how the world works and sometimes both sides may have interesting things or be right in their own way and you need to discriminate and act neutrally in order to reach an answer. But no, fuck that, instead:

    'Oh, you do thissss? Well, that's been DEBUNKED.'

    'Oh, you're saying X? You're not an EXPERT, buddy.'

    'Oh, you're interested in thatttt? Well, that's PSEUDOSCIENCE.'

    The real pseudoscience is pushing vaccines that don't work or even make infections stronger, endless studies that go nowhere (or turn out to be fraudulent), and all the midwit scam projects like Green Energy and AI and Big Data which are floated as revolutionary genius solutions to all earthly problems, while not even working (but which do turn out to be quite lucrative for those in on the scam).

    My sincere congratulations for taking what could be a useful tool for doing analysis, solving problems, and learning / discovering things and instead turning that into a device for committing mass suicide-- which is why now nobody trusts 'The Science', if anything it has anti-credibility, and everyone with a brain hates 'The Experts'.

  36. Another reason I think sports have become extremely alienating to watch (for casual spectators, I'm not some fanatic for that stuff) is that they're on so many drugs compared to the past, that they now actually resemble machines or robots rather than just looking like the best jocks from high school-- they just never seem to slow down or show any signs of exhaustion.

    You can watch go for 2 hrs, and they'll just zip up and down the field the whole time, without ever showing any signs of exhaustion, reaching their limit, slowing down, or anything like that-- sometimes they don't even seem to sweat!

    It was very revealing when a bunch of athletes had sudden heart attacks, during the vaxx fiasco year. Obviously people blamed the useless vaccine, which did cause myocarditis, but I also imagine it must have interacted with whatever cocktail of chemicals they give them, and their unhealthy lifestyle too (all that extreme stress is terrible for your heart).

    Then you hear people talk about 'improved fitness methods' and 'genetic advantages'-- yeah right, LOL.

    I understand that drinking beer and smoking cigs everyday is bad for you, and so athletes that avoid that will be better as a result-- somehow I doubt that's what's going on, though, when people put on 30lbs of muscle in a month.

    I also understand that blacks and Africans have certain physical advantages over white people, and this means they're often more over-represented at the extremes yadayadayada-- but that doesn't mean they don't get tired, and when you see these people who never seem to feel exhaustion, it's just the result of being on all kinds of insane substances provided to them by wacko doctors and 'fitness professionals', not because there's some gene out there that does that. The physical advantages are an extra edge of course, but not even close to the whole story.
