COVID19 Factors We Should Consider/Current Events

Depends who you ask, since it's one of those terms they have been expanding the definition of so they could apply it to more people and ideas that they don't like. I just go by the self-evident meaning, the idea that white people should be supreme over non-white people. If I say "white supremacy", that's what I'm talking about. With other people, it can mean damn near anything these days, I've even seen it applied to the idea that people should try to show up to work on time.

He was asking YOU.

This rambling non-answer is a waste.

Try again with more conviction.

Maybe the AI can explain how this makes any sense to anybody. Take the wildest guess you can.

Blue states are losing population to red states. If this continues unabated the 2030 census will pull seats and electoral college votes to the right. The census counts citizens and non citizens alike. Whether or not non citizens can vote is moot. All that is really needed is to pack left leaning states with warm bodies so they keep house seats and clean sheets.

Interesting, I never looked at it this closely. Explains some things.

Hafthor came and gave a talk at powerlifting gym in Israel. I didn't get a chance to meet him, but the owner said he was a really nice guy.

He looks like the kind of guy who will apologize to you if you bump into him in the street. Typical white supremacist.

Is there any evidence that the population changes their voting patterns? Otherwise the overflow from california is just turning texas blue.

I once had a very long and interesting conversation with Richard Barrett. I determined, based on that conversation, that most of what were termed "white supremacists" were actually either nationalists or separatists. They didn't actually hate black folk nor did they seem to think themselves superior, they just didn't want to deal with them and didn't care for the ways they were trying to change the culture. Many of the beliefs came down to stuff we fuss about, too, that contributes to the decline of our quality of life (such as too many immigrants coming in illegally and then not being held to the same laws.) His childhood experiences in Jersey taught him how much a mass migration of immigrants can change the safety and community of an area. Barrett wanted what we'd term now a "high trust" homogenous society. He didn't care if good black folk wanted to be a part of that he just didn't approve of letting the black folk walk over what had been built to this point. Today, I see a lot his points echoed when I watch "red-pilled" commentators and podcasts. Who he really hated was communists.
He did think that white people were the embodiment of the spirit of America. I'm not sure I agree with that. I think that while it was mostly white folks who built what we know as America, the very nature of this country is one that invites the optimistic and hard working from any culture to come and make their way fairly and without the class divisions so ubiquitous in Europe and some other places (India, I'm looking at you.) Of note, he wasn't particularly popular down here thus proving what I think- which is that America is about the least racist nation ever. Everybody gets a chance here. Personally, I prefer to judge people on stuff they have control over that's important- like which way they load the toilet paper roll and whether or not they drink light beer. But to each his own.

I've become skeptical of cries of white supremacy. I think it's become a popular thing to holler to the point it's lost any real meaning. It's a diversion meant to take attention away from actual problems and wrong doing. They've managed to twist the very existence of a white person into an act of white supremecy so that they believe it's the ace up any sleeve whenever needed.

This is the real definition of modern white supremacy; anyone who opposes the dual-headed cabal of communistic neo-globalism and international finance.
You oppose the destruction of your nation? That is White supremacy.
You oppose genocidal demographic replacement? That is White supremacy.
You don't think we should rewrite history to portray Cleopatra as a black woman when she was in fact Middle Eastern and Greek? That is White supremacy.
You are a Jewish Black man who refuses to bow when you pass in front of Kim Jong Un's portrait? That is White supremacy.

This is exactly what Myorkas is talking about when he says "white supremacy"

There doesn't seem a lot to it beyond the weaponization of human traits common to everyone.

People have a need for connectedness with others, and we all bias these connections to those who think like us, feel similarly to ourselves, and hold common core values and beliefs. Everyone is ultimately different, though, and so being able to form close bonds with people facilitates something wonderful. Love is accepting someone close to you for who they are... good, bad, right and wrong. That leads to trust, and people we love and trust hold influence, NOT manipulation, in our lives. That's what allows for the deep challenging of ideas, feelings and beliefs with those people in a mutual way.

Our lives overlap and form communities. If you're a good old southern boy, you might never sit down with a guy from Jersey for a conversation over dinner. But maybe that Jersey fella is very good friends with a very good friend of yours. Then, if everyone can maintain at least some humility and respect, perhaps the three can have a deep conversation where even disagreements are allowed.

Our Nation, not our country, is facing two very real challenges as I see it. Firstly, it's that technology (porn, social media, Zoom calls, etc.) has driven wedges between people on a the deepest level: the individual. We are conditioned to have experiences that are fundamentally flawed, and it breaks down true connectedness with coworkers, friends and family. The whole tapestry unravels. People are left in despair and are disaffected from their core needs. Just touching people is important. Friendly handshakes, warm hugs, and deeply passionate sexual connections are eschewed for essentially pathological interactions that merely drive dopamine. It's a self-reinforcing debilitation, too.

In steps Marxism. Postmodernism, counterculture, socialism, mind virus, gender ideology -- it doesn't matter what you call it. It's the ideology of bitterness, envy, hatred and selfishness. It appeals to people who are unloved, unaccepted, scared and lonely, but in the most manipulative way imaginable. It doesn't love them in the way where it opens up and allows them in to form those relationships. The kind where you can tell someone when they're wrong. Because you love them.

No, it takes people hurting so badly that their emotions rule their actions. Who are unaware that they lost control of themselves a while back, and will change their thinking and values to fit their emotional drives so their cognitive dissonance will stop tearing them into pieces. Sometimes in the same sentence. It gives them a false sense of community with no intimacy or love, and then tells them "those over there, the ones outside our group... THEY did this to US. TO YOU." So now, the hurt and lost have a target for their pain. They have a focus for their revenge, real or not, and they will make it their life's mission to do just that. The old saying "hurt people hurt people." It's also self perpetuating.

Emotions are real, too. The basal ganglia and limbic system will turn you into a cannibal if you're starving to death, and will absolutely drop your conscience right into the middle of the consequences AFTER you're well-fed and no longer dying, with no warning. We're all VERY strongly motivated by it despite our willpower or beliefs. If you take that fact lightly, then it will probably be your undoing at some point.

That's the mob. It's always been the mob. It's just that Marx really turned the dial up to 11 on mob formation, and it's been further refined since then. It's not just the Leftist vs the populist. Democrat vs Republican. Rural town vs big city. Elite Globalist vs Patriot. You cannot fight the mob without a steep price even if you have your own mob.

Best thing I've found so far? Well, it aligns with my faith. Love your family, friends, church, and neighbors. Forgive them... even when they don't ask. Accept them even if you don't agree with or like what their doing. You can even hate what they're doing. It can even cause you tremendous pain and sometimes damage. That pain may even turn to anger, and you might have to grieve them or things they've cost you. If they become too destructive to themselves and others, you might have to do so from a distance. It's not for the weak, at all. It takes a LOT of strength to do that on the "for as long as it takes" scale of time.

But if you want to put the tapestry back together, then you only have one option: how you choose to deal with those you're really connected to, and let everyone else worry about what they will do. Bear the load on your shoulders that you can hoist yourself.

Free will. You make your choices. Other people will make theirs, and you can't force them in those choices.

You good people in the US will have been spared having the coronation forced upon you but it was a bizarre reflection upon the awkwardness of race relations in the UK. At every stage of proceedings it was choreographed to convince us of how somehow a hereditary monarchy of Anglo Saxons was also a powerful advocacy for diversity. Angelic white choirboys were interspersed with black boys at an exact 3:1 ratio. Black gospel choirs performed followed by close ups of beaming royals. African clergymen did what they do. And all I could think was “how much of my fucking tax is paying some media company to oversee this shit….”

Yes, I've always called this "the five fifths compromise". They use non-voting illegal immigrant demislaves to inflate their influence in the federal government. I completely forgot to add that part to the explanation for why they keep doing this. It's social security, cheap labor that drives down everyone's wages, AND seats in the house.
