What if.. and stay with me here

What if planned parenthood had a scam going involving unrecorded deaths from abortion turned into a lucrative source of fake identities, votes, lines of credit, and ultimately someday, social security fraud? Hmm let's line up some numbers

We severely need a fix for this. Almost all jobs of consequence are gatekept in this way, and it's frustrating, speaking personally as a guy without a degree.

So ubiquitous at this point I feel like I could just pencil whip it. Even now with the restructuring of the federal civil service across the board, there will be tons of vacancies but almost no good positions that don't demand at least a bachelor's. Which is disheartening.

What's funny is that no one can bring themselves on either side to state the real reason this is a logical thing to do. We all know these spiteful wretches aren't above tampering with data on the way out, so freezing them out of the systems until they can get a local copy makes sense.

The formal elements of the right don't really want to point this out because it'd just fan the flames to explain how mentally unstable and unreliable a huge chunk of the civil service is, because it exposes a major liability we've been sitting on for years.

The left won't point this out because, it truthfully explains why what @DOGE is doing is the right call.

Remember when Trump came into office the first time and all sorts of theater kids in GS jobs who ran social media accounts for federal agencies started rogue tweeting for a week or so until they were fired? Imagine that but it's actual data tampering meant to conceal wrongdoing or gum up the process of mapping out exactly what these people have been doing for the last quarter century. For everyone thinking this should be handled internally and not by an outside third party like DOGE, you really can't trust fedgov tech workers, and that's really obvious. Too many saboteurs in waiting, they have to be frozen out too.

I grew up in the CA Central Valley in the 1990's, when it was still a pretty wonderful place. The place I grew up in no longer exists, and the people responsible have names and addresses.

That's why I'll never get tired of winning. It's why I've worked towards this moment for over a decade.

Rents are high, home ownership for the zoomers is difficult or impossible in many places. Job opportunities suck. My hometown is full of drugs and immigrants. My home state is ran by corrupt communist demagogues.

I want these people and their bullshit culture to feel the same way I have for most of my life, to see all the things they think are good crumble before their eyes. To be put through humiliation ritual after humiliation ritual, because we didn't deserve any of what they put this nation through.

And now we don't need to "imagine if the roles were reversed!" The machinations of these people destroyed the world I grew up in, the world I was taught to live and compete in. I will never forgive them. Image

Sam Altman is in a pickle. He can't admit that Deepseek is based on stolen IP from OpenAI because then he'd have to admit that he doesn't actually need 400b in datacenter infrastructure to get a faster chatbot.

Imagine you're talking to someone, and you can speak freely, and say whatever comes to mind.

Now imagine you're talking around your progressive liberal sister at the thanksgiving table and don't want to set her off and cause an incident, so you have to consider everything you say because she's fragile.

Which mode of thinking and speaking is faster and more easy?

ChatGPT spends computational resources on every prompt you input to figure out if you're trying to be lowkey racist or trick it into telling you the name of HP Lovecrafts cat.

Deepseek probably just uses keyword based inference to make sure it doesn't talk about topics the CCP doesn't like and everything else is fair game.

DEI holds us back in the AI arms race.

Which is why it shouldn't be used to automate any govt systems, you don't replace DEI bureaucrats with DEI AI that uses Toxigen

This is part of the reason why a ton of Indians own all these motels and gas stations. They rotate interest free loans for immigrants to start businesses. When it comes time to pay interest, another eligible Indian buys it from them with their own loan and they just keep rotating "Interest free" is hyperbolic, so I'll walk that back, but extremely low interest SBA loans is one example.

There are small business loans with very beneficial terms meant to help immigrants start a business. After a few years, they will cash out and sell the business to kin.

Did you know your tax dollars are paying for pro bono legal services for illegals by way of federal and state grants to nonprofits? There's a simple way to end this with an executive order and other measures, I will explain: NGO's like the Innocence Project and immigration organizations use grant money to convince firms to represent illegals and felons on the basis that their attorneys can get easy litigation experience. Most firms require 60 hours of pro bono work for first year lawyers.

I'm at waffle house with my family and there's a trad Muslim family of Pakistani extraction here.

They are putting nice white boy zoomer worker through the ringer about "cleaning the grill so no bacon grease is present"

I'm passive aggressively queueing up Creed on the jukebox. The staff are jamming out to With Arms Wide Open rn. I used my song credits up and it was quiet, guy started playing some kind of ethnic stuff on his phone. Bought some more touchtunes credits and it's with arms wide open time now

I think perhaps Elons issue with the Visa thing is that O1 Visas are very restrictive and effectively limited to established, older, already credentialed and famous people.

So if I try to cut through all the noise on both sides of this issue, it sounds like we need a drastic reduction in granted H1B visas overall, coupled with a drastically more strict definition of what kind of jobs qualify for an H1B application.

We're seeing everything from cooks to helpdesk IT guys to online moderators for Cognizant on these H1B registries. These are not skilled jobs, these are not hard to hire Americans for, and serve only as the cheap imported labor that everyone on the right is *justifiably* complaining about and wanting to stop.

However, on some level, it *is* fundamentally useful to import talent. The problem is the system that is designed to do that is being fundamentally exploited and needs an overhaul. It's doing more harm than good in its current state.

We probably do have a STEM gap on some level that does need to be addressed, primarily because universities have become extremely hostile to the most prominent and productive demographic, young men. The universities need to be beaten and tamed ASAP, because as it stands right now the best universities, law schools, and medical schools, are handing out enrollments to people who don't deserve them and who can't perform because of DEI, and each of those people is effectively occupying a chair that belongs to someone who can.

I think the most realistic and achieveable compromise on this would be a reduction in overall H1B visas (and other programs), while tightening the criteria for even being able to apply for them. In-demand specialist fields only, and the Government and the private sector needs to do a better job of defining what fields are actually in-demand.

I think getting rid of nation caps is also a bad idea, India would dominate the visa process due to sheer numbers, and candidates from smaller nations would be lost in the shuffle. That being said, the other half of the problem isn't the program. And it isn't "contemptibly racist" or whatever to admit that a ton of these firms and HR departments are effectively Indian Recruiting Firms.

They're the guys calling me on my phone or emailing me or messaging me on LinkedIn asking if I want to apply for a job in a completely different discipline of tech 5 states away, just so they can say they "tried" to get Americans for the job but failed, and need an H1B visa.

And let's all be honest here, while techbros are being incentivized to support the mass importation of Indians, the reason the State Department allows this is because they want to forge nepotistic ties back to India.

They want those ties in order to backchannel influence into India so they can use their surplus population as a meat grinder on Chinas western flank.

The reason we aren't granting these visas to Europeans on the regular is because NATO would have a shit fit. Nowhere in the calculus of the elites does the welfare of the founding stock population ever become a priority, all that they and the elites of other nations care about is The Great Game.

One thing I notice on the mainstream conservative circuit, especially in the more outwardly religious circles, is the mouthpieces spend way too much time talking *at* men in videos like this.

This content isn't for men, it's meant to be consumed by women scrolling Tiktok or Reels so they can feel validated/self-righteous with the side effect of giving a critical eye to their marriage so they can find a reason to be mad at their husbands when they otherwise wouldn't be. The reason I know this is because my wife sees this kind of content constantly. She'll doomscroll facebook reels from time to time and because in their ad profiles she's tagged as Christian, Female, Republican, she'd be exactly the person to see content like this.

Women can't be witchers for the same reason they can't be space marines and no retcon of this is to be accepted There is that underlying subversive "vibe" that shows a certain degree of intent from the writers in the trailer. They show you.

Ciri being a witcher is a disregard for canon in the name of having a female protagonist. But the plot of the trailer itself gives it away, it's meant to send a retarded message of "women are to be sacrificed by men" in a perversion of the old folk tale of the princess being sacrificed to the dragon, and the fact that when Ciri kills the monster she comes back to find the villagers killed the girl anyway because by damn they're gonna sacrifice that woman whether it makes sense or not, shows that somewhere in CD Projekt is a wine aunt or hateful uggo troon who is making key story decisions.

I think such things are real, but I don't think they have anything to do with them rising to power. They rise to power because of cabal theory: (Bit of a long post here, but hopefully of interest)

Normies don't network, not really, not with the enthusiasm of a cabal. People form powerful networks when they have something in common. Engaging in the taboo leads to secretive groups of people with a common interest, the more taboo, the more exclusive the cabal.

Normal people and bonds of social adjacency cast too wide a net. You can't extend a positive bias with anywhere near enough focus to your ethnos/nationality/geography/faith to move the needle easily in the direction of a chosen characteristic.

An innocent group of hobbyists can be a cabal of sorts, people who are friends lend each other mutual aid/network. But benign things like hobbies don't lend themselves to the type of thinking that makes for a cabal most of the time. Lifestyles do, the taboo or illegal does most of all, because it's an interest in something that can't be shared with the vast majority of people. It is exclusive.

This is why you have gay mafias taking over institutions and corporations while your local HAM radio club is just a bunch of dudes. A group surrounding a hobby usually stays limited to merely a focus on the hobby at hand. They talk about radios, and adjacent topics, then go back to their lives.

A cabal of people with an interest in something that involves the political implies a need or desire for power to advance it. Your local neighborhood of sodomites gossips together, hangs out together, gets each other jobs and promotions.

But more than anything, the type of thinking that the well-off engage in creates them. There is a different mode of thinking to the business owner or the wealthy investor or salesman compared to the wagie on a salary. For the former, time is money. People in this strata of life have a propensity to not waste their time on relationships that don't advance their goals or career, because they have a large incentive to use their time to make more money.

So the country club of well-off men talk shop and network to advance each others goals. That's a cabal too. But the group of wealthy people with a taboo interest they can't talk about with most of the population advances the most.

Secrecy and exclusivity is baked in because of the taboo. So when powerful people with a lifestyle/taboo extend a bias towards other people in the same category, those lesser people become powerful too because of the preference. The sweet spot for a cabal is the social scale larger than friendship, but smaller than ethnicity/nationality/geography.

Lets take the California National Guard for example, when I was in, the leadership core was largely composed of the same extended group of swingers. This is network of military officers gave the extended swinger network preferential treatment due to social proximity, and eventually filled up the ranks.

Then a long chain of scandals and retirements weakened the power of that group, and now it's an extended network of homosexuals and fag hags that rushed to fill the vacuum and run things over there now.

Or the problem the Catholic Church has had with gay priests. They all have a secret they can't talk about with anyone but each other, thus they have a level of social intimacy and preference for one another over regular members of the Church, which makes that group difficult to ever root out entirely.

The world largely moves to the tune of small social groups of well resourced people who have a baked in incentive to give each other preferential treatment within a given milieu and pretend it's not happening. I think a big part of why things have begun to swing the "right" way, is because through pure accidental entropy, anons came about and are a cabal of our own.

If the recipe for a good cabal culture is secrecy+exclusivity+resources/influence, all in the correct amounts, anons did it.

And like any cabal it attracts similar personalities with similar interests into one place where they can network with an in-group. The reason that anons aren't quite like these other cabals based around fetishes is because our "taboo" is impolite truth, and the truth is always a better backstop that is easier to defend and justify.

The irrational and punitive system put in place by liberalism largely necessitated being anonymous if you wanted to speak impolite truths without retaliation.

It's the right level of secrecy, but it's different than theirs. Instead of relying on others to keep your secrets, which breeds mutual dependency and lockstep action to protect each other, anons keep their own secrets. Combine the lack of that dependency with the disagreeableness to value the impolite truth and we have the infighting that we are accustomed to.

Resources is just coming with time. As anons are from all sorts of walks of life, and the general unifying principles are the pursuit of the truth for fun and satisfaction, coupled with a disagreeable autodidactic intellect. This is a rare combination in society that is its own form of exclusivity(less so these days as impolite truths become less taboo)

There's a very fundamental reorganization planned for the Air Force, and anyone familiar with the USAF status quo can see it for what it is, reading the tea leaves and seeing war is coming.

Lets talk about the CSAFs writeup on "Great Power Competition" or "GPC" 🧵 Image First of all, the sources I'm looking at can be found in full at the below link, under the documents tab. This comes from the office of the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. I don't know if other components are undergoing similar restructuring or not.

Do they actually outperform or do they just immediately start hiring their coethnics until they have a ton of influence in an organization and push everyone else out to make room?

In my tech sector work I've never been wowed by an Indian or Chinese national literally ever. In fact the hallmark to working with these people is where they cut their responsibilities into little slivers and they will ask for your "help" on regularly until you notice you're teaching them how to do their job because their resume is a paper tiger.

In light of rumors that Kamala screamed at her campaign manager over the Molly Shannon SNL skit flub during the Al Smith dinner, lets talk a bit about Julie Chavez Rodriguez, manager of the Harris Campaign: 🧵 Image
Image
To start off with, her only interesting quality, and the only reason she's gotten anywhere in life, is that she is latino labor activist Cesar Chavez' granddaughter. The irony of this, is that Chavez' entire struggle was defined by being against illegal migration. Image

You know, people him and haw and dodge and talk about immigration in abstractions like legal and illegal, criminal and law abiding, and it frustrates me.

Simply put, I don't want to be surrounded by foreigners with alien and unpredictable values, worldviews, and allegiances. I just don't want to be around these people, I especially do not want them to outnumber me at Costco or whatever. I want to live in a nation, where the people I'm surrounded by have a similar frame of reference for how they see the world. *That* is a culture, a nation, a people.

Biden is technically the president but doesn't act like it.

Kamala wants to be the president, but can't even be a competent Vice President.

Trump walks around like he's *still* the president, performs the duties expected of one, and over half the nation treats him like he is.


Image

Even the media still talk about Trump like he's the president. It's hilarious and baffling. Nobody cares what Biden is up to beyond asking "Do we actually have a president right now?"

Nobody actually *likes* Harris, they can only *hate* Trump.

I really hate the compromise that suburbs represent, but not for the reasons "Public Transit Enthusiasts" do. I'm going to talk a bit about my old neighborhood when I was in high school, and what we can learn from it when it comes to subdivision design. 🧵 Image After my dad died when I was in middle school, my mom trekked us across the state to stay with my grandma for a few months. I started high school in her district, at a pretty decent high school. About halfway through the year, my mom bought a house in a neighborhood 3 miles away.
