The thing that enmaddens me is that when I talk about how education is overprescribed, or that we've entered a dysgenic age, the point is not "lol go be randomly violent"
It's the exact opposite, to identify traps of modernity, avoid them, and improve your own life within this
I am attempting to identify what's gone wrong so that people can live according to what's better, what will make them + their children happy and successful despite all the pressures to make us worse
The point is never "Go be Breivik," instead it's the opposite: "Ride the tiger"
It's comical, "gaslighting" even, that these journalists want to pretend everything is on the upswing when wages have been flat for 40+ years, liberalism is dying, Big Cricket is trying to make you eat bugs, + your standard of living will be lower than your grandparents
Who is the one that's more evil? The one that points these problems out?
Or the one that insists more of the same will, somehow, eventually make your life better, if only we do even more of what got us here?
"If you find yourself in a hole, quit digging"
It's ridiculous I even feel compelled to respond to this. "Make yourself better" + "Here are the ways society is failing us" is not a call for terrorism
It's the exact opposite. It's a way to call people away from the abyss and back towards what is true and beautiful
The fact the Cathedral treats these efforts as violence is only because it perceives it as a threat to its power
And that power process would rather *encourage real terrorism* than grapple with its failures, because creating terrorists only increases its power to destroy dissent
I want you to succeed and become great in order to undermine everything telling you to be weak. Guarantee BAP wants the same.
This is the exact opposite of how our side is portrayed by the journalist.
That, in itself, tells you everything you need to know.

Yes, a huge part of this was about music critics trying to just allow each other (esp. themselves) to just *enjoy* pop music instead of being guillotined by Pitchfork etc for their plebeian taste
The hipster internet circular firing squad kind of predicted the leftism to come
Art being immeasurable, its criticism was always meant to be something of a brawl
Once critics couldn't come out and say "Best Creed album in years!" without risk of Total Social Death, and were too timid to resist this pressure, the "experts" pretty much ceased to be of use
The premise here was that you increasingly weren't *allowed* to like (certain forms of) pop music and remain a Member in Good Standing, admitting you liked Group X rendered your entire taste moot, exposing you as a kind of "music chud," all opinions discarded
No, we're not doing this again. Imperial units are proportioned to the human body (measure your forearm against your foot sometime) over thousands of years of living
Metric system is just something murderous French rationalists made up to scrub the world of our connection to it
The most brutal refutation of this is that we never switched to a metric system of time. Why don't we have re-standardized "10 hour days," composed of 100 "minutes" each, composed of 100 "seconds" each?
Because people don't live by factors of 10. They live by *the planet*
The inventors of the metric system *did* try to make this happen, of course, but it never took hold because it was deranged
Because, extend the logic further. Maybe we should divide the year into 10ths, too? Now we have 10 months and each month has 10 days. Very reason
Do you remember how after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump the left created a conspiracy theory it must be fake based on the idea no person would stand up like this after he was just shot in the head
These are both examples of "prey morality." Life-forms who are biologically unable to understand the concept of humans who are willing to directly challenge other human predators. Who tell you to "freeze" when they get preyed on
My personal stories about illegals aren't even that bad. No murders, rapes, etc.
But if you work with immigrants for long enough, they will eventually start bringing in co-ethnic workers even *they* can't trust. And you won't know what these people are like until after the fact
Within democracies, the voters of the US, UK, and France are now all obliterating their "center-right" in favor of a far right, while the panicked lib-centrist "Adults In The Room" shovel their power to the far left
Lib-centrist democracy is dead. And mass migration killed it
Whatever else happens, 20th century liberal democracy has—depending on your perspective—either killed itself, or been forced to reveal what it was all along
The genie can't be put into the bottle. That form of government, and its norms, is now behind us for good
The question is always, Was it deliberate, or was it accidental
My dissection of the corpse is that it was a combination of biotrash leftists who seduced a genuinely well-meaning liberal class
