Also: populist left will always open doors to mass migration. When out of power they say migration happening because capitalists use it for Machiavellian ends; once in power they discover it is the left's most potent and reliable political weapon. Buying votes is their trade.
Mass Third World migration has happened everywhere the populist left has won: Ireland, Basque Country, Scotland, Argentina, etc. Argentina very telling as it's Bannonist "economic populism" but much more so. And it busted open doors for Bolivians, Peruvians, Paraguayans. Why?
Because the left once in power found out that actually migrants don't work very well but will vote for you if you give them a washing machine or fridge on election day. And in fact Peron did the same internally, bringing in beige from the provinces and buying their support.
This is the logic that will always drive the left, and even if they genuinely believe they will stop migration, once in power, the prospects of new faithful clients to use against Elite Bad Guys who don't want to give you their money is irresistible
This logic is intensified when you combine economic/left populism with religious and social conservatism, as then the migrants, coming from "socially conservative" backgrounds with pious abuelitas become even more indispensable allies against godless hedonist "elite" white guys!
These two groups--the religioncucks and the interloper populist/economic/academic left have nothing to do with the real right wing awakening of around ten years ago, which is scientific, nonreligious, aware of the primacy of biology, and understands the danger of the Global South

I don’t like idea of “artificial intelligence” because I think it can’t exist but I think what gets called AI now is good. It’s not really intelligence think of it as a “normie simulator”; a contentless mimicry of language and application of rules already describes normie mind
Ask people in Japan, a well run country, about Fukushima. They’re very embarrassed by it and all say same: there were serious problems there but it was being run by dim, obedient, by-the-book salarymen looking at charts. So, same thing as “AI” and maybe even less competent
Probably most things in world now including most nuclear plants are already run by “AI”—by the AI known as normies and many of a less good design than Japanese AI meatbots.
One of Scott Locklin's most amusing recent articles, on the fraud of quantum computing "tech" and the fake quantum computing companies fueled by index funds and VC hype...is enjoyable to see this skewering
Locklin distinguishes between what a real practical visionary tech field looks like--space rocketry in the 1920's/30s--and the fraud of "quantum computing" now, which touches on no real practical questions of how to achieve aims...
Locklin touches on the hype around Chat GPT now and points out it's likely also a useless or at least much overhyped technology:
It was in part a cynical, in part a pedantic-academic reaction to Trump's destruction of the old line GOP and to his winning of the Upper Midwest (including some ex-Bernie voters). The Jack Kemp rhetoric of Paul Ryan branch was exposed as a lot of lies coming from corrupt valets
Ryan-Romney GOP diverged from Obama on ~1-3% of economic policy; worked with leftist media to smear and silence Ron Paul; showed themselves to be corrupt valets of particular industries, like Monsanto, while attacking others; bailed out banks in 2008; "free market" rhetoric fake
Under the dishonest rhetoric of Jack Kemp capitalism, old line GOP was party to the systematic looting of America and its deindustrialization, its flooding with migrants; it then absurdly tried to claim tariffs are "socialism" while giving special benefits to preferred industries
This article provoked widespread chimpout from Conservative Inc and in particular the liberation Jesuit faction that promotes a bleak “traditional socialism”; this Third Worldism has been the banner of every malding Pharisee piledriver on here since 2017. Short thred:
Lomez wrote a good and measured article on dangers of the femael-dominated safetyism that’s making such a suffocating Nurse Ratched asylum out of life now and especially since Wuhanflu restrictions. The chimp reaction to it is because it’s by an anon and uses a word I popularized
Lomez doesn’t mention Nietzsche. Ideas in article are mostly in keeping with parts of conservative criticism of progressive attacks on freedom. But his use of one word and his “social network” provoked this bizarre moralistic hand wringing from a Chesterton impersonator. Why?
Yes see twet this quotes; yes I know that facelord with typical Tijuana rest stop bathroom face wants attention. But notable for a few things: it's not me & frends, but "e-trads" who are constantly provoking; next, they are STUPID: dumb misinterpretation of what I said...
In fact you'd think someone who plays an online political Biblebanger might know that the rhetoric I used in this case was copied from rightists during Spanish Civil War. But no, beyond his pay grade.
Finally you will notice the loathsome vision of the world promoted by e-trads:
Online "religious traditionalists" promote a bleak future of 2 billion Oaxacan olds kneeling, superstitious labor Third Worlidsm, vulgar and eager to burn down statues, Nietzsche, etc.; and lasciviously obsessed with controlling and torturing young men in particular
