LEE KUAN YEW - In His Own Words 🇸🇬

Compilation Thread of Short Clips of Singapore’s Founder Lee Kuan Yew on his Political Philosophy 🧵

“Whoever governs Singapore must have that iron in him - or give it up! This is not a Game of Cards, this is your life and mine!”
“The Human Being is an unequal creature”
“I am not interested in being loved”
“What have I given up? My life”
“Ten years ago this was a mudflat. In ten years this will be a metropolis”
“Why pays?”
“If we had not intervened-”
“If the Communist had won, we would be impoverished”
On Drug Traffickers
“If I openly call a man a liar and he does not dare to sue me, there is something basically wrong”
“What political party helps an opposition to come into power?”
“I ignore polling as a matter of Government”
“They say we are obsessed with profits”
“Even if you are lowering me into the grave - if I feel like something is going wrong, I’ll get up”
@alfiethreetimes And they say you have to be an Anglo-Saxon to be to English…
“It is not practical to treat everybody as equal … it will lead to irreparable damage. It is dangerous to allow these highfalutin ideas to mislead Singapore”

The African Human Rights Activist Who Pozzed Poland 🇵🇱

“The sordid and twisted tale of Simon Mol: The African Human Rights and anti-racist Activist who literally pozzed Poland’s leftists”

This Thread was first posted by the User Mencius Moldbugman 🧵 Image
Born in Cameroon, Simon sought asylum in Poland in 1999 when he claimed he was being persecuted for his journalism on human rights. Before that he moved round several African countries seeking asylum. He claimed to have been arrested in 1996 for exposing government corruption. Image
In actual fact, It was later revealed that this “persecution” was entirely fabricated. He was never jailed, and his mother admitted that he had actually worked in a refinery. The only thing he had ever written about was some short articles about football. Image

MALCOLM CALDWELL - A MORALITY TALE

“You probably don’t know the name Malcolm Caldwell. I’d like to take a moment of your time to introduce his life story to you for some of the lessons he can teach us” 🧵

This Thread was first posted by the User Mencius Moldbugman Image
Born in Scotland in 1931, Malcolm Caldwell was a British academic and a prolific Marxist writer. As well as being an academic, he was a leading figure in protest movements across the West during the 60s and 70s and campaigned for developing third world countries. Image
Caldwell began his career as a school teacher but entered the world of academia when he became a professor at London’s School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS).

Upon entering SOAS, Caldwell quickly gained a reputation amidst the faculty for his radical left-wing views.

WHO ARE THE HOTTEST NEW FACTIONS ON THE RIGHT?: A PRIMER

The influence of the Online Right continues to grow and now even reaches into the Real World. As more people join the movement, more new factions have emerged. But which factions are making the biggest impact this year? 🧵 Image
RACIST ART HOES

“Racism - so hot right now.” As the Right continues to grow in influence its vitalistic energy and avant-garde edge have begun to attract Women to the movement; hipster art hoes from New York to London. They may not totally ‘get it’ but it has ‘really cool vibes’ Image
JUDEABOOS

As ‘knowledge of Jewish group behaviour and achievements’ has grown on the Right, some have taken to insisting that Nationalists should emulate the Jews, who they now idolise, as far as possible - to gain the ‘upper-hand’ for themselves by ‘copying Jewish behaviours’ Image

THE BOOKSHELF THREAD 📚

“The more colour-coordinated the Bookshelf, the worse the content will be”

“I have decided to do some investigation into photos of Bugwoman bookshelves, or #Bookshelfies as these vacuous NPCs call them”

This Thread was first posted by Mencius Moldbugman Image
Mencius Moldbugman’s Iron Rule of Bookshelves: The more colour-coordinated the bookshelf, the worse the content will be.

Real readers read books to learn, Bugpeople use books as decoration and for social status points. Image
Colour-Coordinated Bookshelves mostly belong to “Book-Obsessives”. Most of these "Book-Obsessed" Bugpeople are women. The vast majority of their books are emotional pornography AKA chick-lit. This pink selection is the female equivalent of a man showing off vintage retro nudes. Image
