Back in Dallas-Fort Worth, a lovely example of conurbation.

I have a layover in DFW Airport, which is a good example of subaltern/private government:

indianbronson.substack.com/p/part1-decent…
indianbronson.substack.com/p/part1-decent…

A clarifying question about power to ask is "who shows up if I call 911?"

A better question to ask is "who shoots at me, if it comes to that?"

The distinguishing power of State is violence:

"Don't be fooled by the Auntie Anne’s Pretzels (in every terminal!) and many global languages you’ll hear, this is sovereign territory under the rule of a serious government."
Not pictured: the Dallas-Fort Worth Department of Public Safety officer who declined to be photographed

("We don't allow photographs", and "turn around and go to your gate, right now")

Some people get to own a car.

Some people get to own a home.

Some people get to own a semi-autonomous body charged with governing DFW International Airport.
Keep reading, and learn how faithful Mormons are like the Taliban in the ways that matter (for government:)

They *are* saying “no”, @moveincircles !

archive.is/LLUCU

Men are withdrawing from education,
Men are withdrawing from the workforce,
Men are withdrawing from the military,
And men are withdrawing from women.

In ever greater numbers, every year: x.com/moveincircles/…Image

Age.

18 year old men become 36 year old men in their next 18 years of life, starting from zero.

Increasingly they look at a sexual, financial, social, and racial dynamic at play from their adolescence and see they can’t win and are hated/scorned/mocked.

So they withdraw.
For a very long time, the deal societies gave young men was to ask a lot of them, including death—but, in return, they could reasonably expect to have a young virgin bride and an economic purpose with respect (including her respect): a household of their own.

This changed. Image

Abortion is the driver of the female electorate voting left. It boils down to:

Women keep having sex with guys who do not want to marry them—whose kids they themselves do not even want—and are terrified about being low-status single moms; so they want to be able to kill the kid
It’s not exactly a ‘men vs women’ thing — it’s all about unmarried, young (and youngish) women vs. everyone else;

Recent polling in Pennsylvania and other surveys show this.

Every other group besides unmarried women favors Republicans
Image

Here’s the electoral graph for “men vs women” and then “single” vs “married”

The issue is that young unmarried women have been completely deranged by living in a completely unnatural state of affairs which is medicalized and politicized, concerning intimate social relations.

Idea:

The US colonizes Haiti, turning it into a deportation exile zone where all illegal aliens, violent criminals, and former members of the dismantled deep state (and of course Haitians losing TPS) are all sent

The Dominican Republic gets $1 billion annually in border aid
There’s no reason that you couldn’t air drop food, construction equipment, building materials, fuel supplies, etc. In fact there should be a US military occupation of the entire Western side of Hispaniola, formerly Haiti, to oversee infrastructure development and gang elimination
Eventually, US troops withdraw, and all the people—the 11 Million there now + some 25 Million deportees—would be charged with forming a new national identity and government, with all at their disposal

I think former State Dept/USAID types would have to find it all quite exciting

On Warp, "cancellation", brand equity, virality, courage, panic, hypocrisy, and reasonableness

-

For FIFTEEN YEARS, from 2000 (that's right, before 9/11) to April of 2015 (mere months before Trump announced his presidential run), Subway was defined by one Mr. Jared Fogle:Image
I realize as a decrepit old man some of you whippersnappers all of 24 in 2024 were BORN in 2000 (insane btw) but this mfer was EVERYWHERE for a decade and a half. Constantly on "television" or "TV"
(TV was like dedicated TikTok in a box)

Here's Jared explaining it all in 2015:
Jared Fogle was more than inspiring, he was THE "get" for a 'fast casual' or 'quick service restaurant'.

He *lost weight* eating Subway. What??
No one *loses* weight.

This is America—land of the gas guzzler, subprime mortgage, endless foreign war, diabetes—and he LOST weight??Image

This is what a lot of political discourse boils down to Image
Our national life is dominated by the people in the middle, who are - if not women themselves - highly feminized by school and institutional employment
“There’s a typo on the graph!!”

If you did that, the substance of the abortion debate would be revealed as;

Women keep having sex with guys who do not want to marry them, whose kids they themselves don’t even want, and are terrified about being low-status single moms—so they want to be able to kill the kid
Rape & incest (incest??!) are used to bully people into silence but are a tiny percentage of abortions and the women who have the fewest abortions (college educated white/asian) are the most vocal and the ones who have the most (non-college black) are also most often single moms
You’re not supposed to point it out bc you’re calling a lot of women not just slutty but ghoulish in how self-serving and narcissistic they are

But it’s true 🤷‍♂️

That’s why this is such an intractable political problem — dudes still wanna smash these hoes so they aren’t honest
