"Michael Jackson tragedy is he was born in wrong place. He was born to be military dictator of great pomp, and was to rule with great severity."

Zoomers today know of Michael Jackson mainly from that BAP quote, but he was, in a way, the Mozart of his day. 🧵 1/13 Image
Like Mozart, Michael was a child prodigy who changed the game. In fact, the similarities don't end there!

At the age of 5, Mozart was already performing for European royalty. His prodigious skills in playing multiple instruments and composing quickly set him apart. 2/13 Image
A bit of a "late bloomer" compared to Mozart, Michael Jackson became the lead singer of The Jackson 5 at age 6, and quickly gained fame for his charismatic performances, vocal range, and stage presence. 3/13 Image

Here’s a solution for Haiti that Yarvin might like: give it back to its rightful owner, Christopher Columbus XX. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristóbal…
His ancestor discovered Hispaniola, the island Haiti 🇭🇹 is on, and he was shipwrecked off of what is now Haiti, on Christmas Eve, 1492.

His claim to Haiti precedes that of the descendants of African slaves.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_o…
Erik Prince says about 4k men could secure Haiti.

Columbus XX (an officer in the Spanish Navy), could recruit those men (or at least their officers) with the promise of hereditary estates + titles after they secure Haiti.

He could auction spots to gentlemen adventurers.

1/11 How the British prevented Jamaica 🇯🇲 from turning into Haiti 🇭🇹. 🧵 from Jan Morris’s “Heaven’s Command”, excising a bit of her anachronistic editorializing. Image

3/11 Emancipated Jamaican slaves could eat without working, so they abandon sugar cane cultivation. An Obama-like, articulate figure argues for their cause… Image

The main takeaway here should be that the minority Marxists cheering Hamas are dumb, and lacked the theory of mind to understand how this would go over.

But their antipathy toward Jews isn’t new.

So why the establishment crackdown now? 1/9 🧵
The main reason is the scale of the Hamas attack.

It appears to be the 2nd-worst terrorist incident in history in terms of deaths (with 9/11 being the worst).

Terrorism death counts over 1,000 are extremely rare. 2/9

As far as terrorism against Jews specifically, this is the worst by a long shot.

Past establishment Jewish complacency about black and brown antisemitism was partly due by the paucity of anti-Jewish terror in the U.S. 3/9

Arnold takes a brave stand here against (in reverse chronological order) @RichardBSpencer’s tiki torch march in Charlottesville, Apartheid, Nazi Germany, and the Confederacy.

I have some thoughts, but first watch this; it’s very well done. 🧵 1/
First, I think you’ve got to be a miserable person to dislike Arnold or Trump. If you were born in America in the ‘70s or any decade after, they’ve been deservedly famous for as long as you can remember. 2/
Both were impressive athletes as young men, both handsome, both branched out beyond their fields to become famous personalities, both had successful political careers. 3/

Would be curious to see the average test scores of cops who do this. I’m willing to bet they’re fairly low.
I live in a diverse area and can’t remember an incident like this.

Cops here get paid very well and you’ve got to ace the cop test to even get an interview.

Literally hundreds of guys take the test when one spot opens up.
