One thing I love about being older and busy with life and work and the end of the televisual age is seeing People Magazine type articles and not having a flipping clue about who the supposed celebrities are.
Everyone should be proud when they have no idea who these painted faces are. The less you know and care, the better off and further along you are. This is the way.
I will say that watching The Mandalorian with the kids is good times and an exception to the rules around here. We get pumped for it—and they explain all the back stories to me.
And I eat popcorn. A rare carb exemption these days. So I don’t share it with any of them except for my little girl who doesn’t eat much and cutes her way into it. Three year old privilege.

The entire "trans" issue = a psy-op that aims at the destruction of the human person. It is only possible because our corrupt society is already psycho-sexually compromised. But it's not merely the mainstreaming of delusion: it's another wedge that further destroys & degrades us.
The mutilation of genitals and the poisoning of the body is the point, as in many dark rituals. Ugliness is the point. As well as the sexualization of children for predators. But most significantly, the complete and utter severing of the connection between nature and sexuality.
There is derangement in it, yes. Many confused and unwell people. But also almost comical narcissism: "We shall be as gods", determining physical, biological reality itself." But it's not ultimately comical because they want to impose their own delusive narcissism upon all of us.

The story of archeology based on every damn archeological article I’ve read, ever:

ARCHEOLOGIST A: “Look wut I found! It’s the oldest example of its kind! This was 1st! Here’s the origin of X! Different than we thought! Behold my universal claims based on a small set of data!”
ME: “Um, earth is a big place & you found a needle in a haystack, right? So maybe our universal claims about when or where a behavior/thing was invented, or the origin of species, or history of human migration, etc. should be extremely limited. How would you know that X really—"
ARCHEOLOGIST A: “No! This is the oldest! This was the first! Here was the origin!”

[Few years go by.]

ARCHEOLOGIST B: “A was wrong! Look what I found! It’s the oldest example of its kind! This was the first! Here was the origin! Turns out things were different than we thought!

I have a PhD. I can’t believe how seriously people still take ‘em. It’s a credential from a failing system in its death throes—it’s cringeworthy when people don’t realize that. I never mention it & left the academy in disgust. Could never be a slave like profs generally are now.
Slightly embarrassed about my Twitter handle but was shortest combo available that I could think of at the time. Too lazy to think of another/change. Suggest away though.
All it means is often this: you took a lot of classes, passed 1 or 2 overarching tests on those classes, & wrote a lot of papers but one big one that could be a book if you rewrote it so people gave a crap & took out all the references to other scholars they made you put into it.

Oh look: world’s largest monopoly taking a “brave” stand against so-called colonialism. Greater bullshit than which no greater can be conceived. Faux-“activism”, faux-“history”, and general ingratitude and ugliness. This is who they—the ruling class, not Native *Americans*—are.
Let’s uncelebrate a famed moment that led to years of peace between natives and puritans...you know, for justice...and fake virtue signaling...GTFO here.
The op here is annual now. Thanksgiving (a moment of racial harmony) is a threat to the new state religion, which wants to undermine it.

Over seven centuries ago, Thomas Aquinas summed up what western civilization understood to be the natural debt of gratitude all human beings owe to God, family, and country:
“Man becomes a debtor to other men in various ways, according to their various excellence and the various benefits received from them . . . the principles of our being and government are our parents and our country, that have given us birth and nourishment."
"Consequently man is debtor chiefly to his parents and his country, after God. Wherefore just as it belongs to religion to give worship to God, so does it belong to piety, in the second place, to give worship to one’s parents and one’s country.”

There’s almost no connection between most large donors and foundations on the right and actual power, significant political action, or results. Now is a good example. There’s a fight on re the presidency and the senate. It’s the organic MAGA movement that has all the energy.
But there is no infrastructure of non-profits, foundations, activists, media groups, etc. common to the left but needed on the Right. But much is now possible—IF you understand the landscape and how it’s changed and how we should change accordingly.
This is a transitional time in which money used rightly could wield great influence and move the dial. Some get this. Most don’t.
