    Nothing. Ever. Happens.

    As long as you just turn out to vote and everyone claims to believe in the pretense of electoral politics, & lend the process legitimacy - that's all that matters, and nothing will continue to happen. The entropic shit-show carries on, and you will be managed through the decline of the West, as you were before the election under Biden, and Trump before him.

    You, the demos, get to argue and moralise and theorise about what the elites have chosen to ***already implement*** on your behalf - and you are permitted to endlessly converse about the after-effects of these decisions.

    Mentally unstable, pink-haired leftard kindergarten instructors and paranoid feminised homosexual men, like in the stupid video, will continue to speak nonsense and LARP as persecuted cultural rebels. And the cuckservative right will drone on about the hypocrisy of it all.

    Regardless of all that, the European man still exists. The Englishman is still here, in my country, too.

    We're still here but we're psychologically unable to give ourselves permission to organise and act while we engage in electoral politics. Until we decide to stop being gay and break the illusion, nothing will ever happen. The endless conversation will happen the week after the election, just as it did the week before. That's all.
    No fucking blackpilling.

    Yes Wal, you're a Boomer, you think everything is like your experience and when something pops up to contradict that belief you just go "huh that's wild" and continue on.


    "The peer review process cannot be total bullshit or ghey as Mark would have never subjected his study to the Strength and Conditional Journal for their appraisal many years ago."

    Why must it not be total bullshit because Mark submitted an article to the process? What about Mark Rippetoe engaging in a process bestows it with some legitimacy? Does this carry over to other things? when Mark submits a steaming fresh journal article to his toilet, does the toilet become a dispenser of wisdom and science?

    Is it really "black-pilling" to suggest that no massively important "happening" will actually happen after this next election, in which a New York real estate guy/host of The Apprentice will become the next President (again, for a second time)?

    It's not black-pilling to admit that giving this process further legitimacy and voting to "buy" another 4 more years of time is not just foolish - it's suicidal.

    We actually need millions of diabetic, depressed, sportsball-enjoying normie Americans to stop consuming Product for more than 10 seconds and get more BLACK-PILLED about the reality of "democracy", and the future which awaits them if they continue to down this path, before anything can actually *happen*.

    People don't actually want anything to happen because the prospect of what that would entail to their materialistic existence is deeply terrifying.

    The elites know this, and the entire two-party political system is set-up in a way so that nothing ever happens.

    mkm5:

    I owe you both an apology and a clarification. The apology is simple: I'm sorry that I chose to engage in anger, and shaped my words as such, on a topic that didn't rate it. And to you -- who did not deserve it. I degraded myself and my position. I'm sorry, and I will strive to do better going forward.

    I think in many ways we agree: immigration, whether illegal or legal, carries many risks. For decades, policy and enforcement have left us wide open to those risks, and we have thousands of obvious cases of that causing serious consequences. The reliance of some industries and communities on illegal and legal migrant work is certainly a part of those unabated risks and consequences. I also don't think we should just leave it as is, but at the same time the scope of the compound problem is something that should be addressed. Perhaps my point is instead to focus and prioritize who should go first, and I think that's pretty clear: the violent criminal and terrorist elements that pose a serious and immediate threat to Americans. There's not much nuance there, and hopefully a day is coming soon where federal, state and local law enforcement are empowered to fall upon them with thunder and fury. I will be first in line for that duty. We deal with it, perhaps to a lesser degree, even out here in the sticks.

    Please understand that I want a higher degree of nuance, care and planning to go into the rest, though. For the sake of human dignity for all affected, and certainly to protect Americans and their communities. I'm not saying it can't or shouldn't be done, but let's approach certain aspects with the respect and wisdom that they warrant.



    Matt Jackson:

    Still waiting on your definition of Christian Zionist. I'm not trying to be snide. I've done my own research into why certain ideas have perpetuated through communities of faith, and so I'm asking for clarification both because of our similarities and differences in perspective and opinion on the topic. If you're not interested, then fair enough.

    David, you seem to be a decent, hard working respectful human being with strong convictions, and you have no need to apologize for that.

    If the shtf, I'd stand with people like you and others here to get through it.

    Is he wrong?
    I still hear Boomers proudly kvetching about young people who were "flouting the rules" during the Covid lockdowns.
    I see neocon Boomers agreeing that demographic replacement is fine, as long as the gangs are only taking over a handful of apartment buildings.
    The Boomers still say it doesn't matter when Haitians "legally" take over a town in Ohio, because "well...it didn't happen to my town."

    Is there a single example of any way the Boomer generation has left the nation a better place for their children than when they inherited it?

    "One generation decided they were entitled to radically and irreparably change the nation in ways that the were harmful to their children while immunizing themselves from the negative consequences."

    We can't have a slow or mixed approach to deportations.
    The "one bite at a time"-Vance model doesn't work; it is only a way to sell the topic to voters.
    The longer they are allowed to stay, the more of a claim to legitimacy these illegal alien squatters will have; as the saying goes, possession of the property is 9/10 of the law.
    Even if it were possible (which it is not), the time it would take to sort through, hunt down and litigate against only the criminals would be so long it would give the aliens a permanent foothold.

    California became a shit hole for a single reason.... one generation ago, they allowed the "non-criminal" aliens to stay, and demographics is destiny.

    The only viable solution is to deport all illegal aliens in one fell swoop while at the same time implementing a moratorium on all legal immigration for 10 years.

    If deportations haven't started on a massive scale by July 2025, we can definitively conclude the country is forever lost; not even Julius Caesar himself would be able to save it at that point.

    This is, as usual, amazing. Not because of Kamala, because evil and stupid always behave predictably. My question is, how do you get two police officers to go to a hospital and arrest a mother for truancy when her daughter is laying in bed right there on life support? Who are these cops, and where do you get such animals?

    I'm not up to date with the divisive categorical terms like "boomer," but I know I've taught my daughters and nephews how to cook good food, fix cars and appliances, build houses and restore and reuse everything they can.

    Taught them how to swim, ski, fish, hunt, and I absolutely enjoyed every moment of it! I probably should have kept my nephews away from dirt bikes, but it was inevitable, as it was for me!

    This seems appropriate:
