It’s an essential characteristic of the historic nation, but it’s also an obstacle to the ideology of the US empire and an impediment to the ambitions of its elites and PMC. Don’t get me wrong, I agree with Greer. Here, for example, is Theodore Roosevelt, one of the most popular and quintessentially American statesmen in history: Image

Get out your dodecahedral dice and officially licensed reproduction of Gandalf’s staff, because we’re going to LARP a bit.

Specifically, I am going to dedicate this thread to the attached map—what is it, why is it, etc. Image This is a variation of my map of what an internally autonomous American homeland might look like. I’ll get to the orange-shaded counties later, but the main difference from before is that red America is divided into two distinct regions here.

This is true enough in the imperial cities of the United States. It may not be true in an American national polity, for reasons I may elaborate on later if I have the time. Ok, a little, very much non-exhaustive thread on why the major cities of an American homeland wouldn’t necessarily end up like the current cities of the USA.

“Replacement” is a fair and accurate term. One can debate the causal relationship between low native birth rates and high foreign inflows, but the two combined have, as they must, the effect of passing territory from the possession of one race to that of another. That is to say, whether or not they are causally independent, they are related inasmuch as they combine to take land (and the polities thereon) from one branch of the human family tree and give it to another—a biologically axiomatic “L.”

Ehhhh, yes and no.

This is just the state religion of the US empire. The specific symbol may be new, but the ideological (one might say theological) antecedents are well-established by now.

The GAE inner party isn’t the outside fringe. Americans who want a normal homeland are. What’s hilarious is that the rainbow flag was supposed to be a countercultural symbol. But, especially in its current form with the bonus chevrons putting the race in Gay Race Communism, it’s just an expression of Gleichschaltung. “I’m a good subject. I support the current thing”

You could find a few percentage points of public support for pretty much anything.

This does reflect a real quirk of modern American politics though: extreme zeal for pretty basic causes. theguardian.com/us-news/2023/j… I can’t help but think the extremism has risen /because of/, rather than despite, the fact that there isn’t much content to it.

A supercharged version of Chomsky’s “vigorous debate within narrow parameters.”

I have DVR capability now, which is nice, both for recording programs that seem interesting and for pausing or rewinding something I’m watching live.

Anyway, I watched a National Geographic show about Bronze Age England yesterday, and there was something funny… They acknowledged that the arrival of Beaker Culture in England ultimately resulted in a generic turnover of 90%, but they were very keen to clarify that this was a very good thing, because it was a welcome and enriching migration.

January, 2025: the Chief Justice of the United States enters a federal prison cell, where Donald Trump is invested as the 47th president of the USA, the first since Cleveland to serve non-consecutively, and the only to begin his term in the midst of a two-year sentence… Trump has won a narrow and bitterly contested election by promising to have as many prominent figures join him in jail as possible. The public votes for the prospect of reciprocity. As his 1st act, the new attorney general convenes grand juries to consider Biden & Clinton cases…

I’ll give the answer here in a few minutes. Some good guesses so far. There were some good guesses.

The first organized territory called California was (afaik) the province of Las Californias under the Viceroyalty of New Spain.

This was established in 1768 with Gaspar de Portolá as governor…

Graphic shared by a locked account. I think it’s kinda funny. Image There’s a very rough correspondence to the sort of terms I tend to use: top is bugmen, middle is Amerikaner, bottom is POC client blocs.

You know what might be an interesting idea? Copypasta the protections of the 14th amendment into every state constitution (many probably already do) and then delete it from the US constitution… What that would mean is that all Americans would have the same guarantees and rights as they did before, but the difference would be that /state/ courts would have the final say on interpreting the US constitution within the jurisdiction of their particular state.

This is kind of a goofy question, but what if major countries reciprocally agreed to give each other little overseas enclaves, with the stipulation that they not be militarized in any way? E.g., China could get a little “reverse Hong Kong” somewhere on the coast of California, or perhaps the Puget Sound. But in return we’d get an American territory on the coast of China.

I don’t know if it’s related to this specific campaign, but I recently saw a tv ad with a blue box on the screen. The box, it said, took up just 2.4% of the screen, and Jews are 2.4% of the population, so it’s important to stand with them and be supportive for that reason. Ofc I understand where that’s coming from. No group of people should be subject to crimes or harassment for their ethnicity or religion. That’s terrible.

But surely another takeaway here is that, well, demographics matter.

You know, in saying that they’d have more golden eggs in the medium term while we’d have more golden geese in the long term, I think I’m accurately considering the substantial and enduring value of the advantages they’d inherit in the short term.

But beyond that… I think I am describing what /must/ be, in a broader sense

A lot of pathologies of Our Democracy could arguably be described as expressive of a general “high time preference” outlook, a systematic tendency to prefer short-term imperial interests to the long-run national interest

I’m curious about something, or rather—I’m curious about your opinion about something.

Suppose an American homeland were established, a collection of autonomous red states or something like that.

My question is, all things being equal… How do you think the average standard of living would compare to imperial territory in the “medium term”—let’s say 20 years or so after inception?

From the perspective of the Cathedral, is stuff like transing Bud Light and country music tactically sound?

You’d think not, right? Why not let normies just have a little bubble refuge where they can grill, since that’s all most of them want anyway.

But otoh… maybe these humiliation rituals serve a useful function. It keeps people on the defensive, makes them constantly try to catch up to moving goalposts, demoralizes people by rubbing their faces in their own powerlessness?

There’s a big billboard on the 405 saying that churches don’t need armed security but that synagogues do, with the message “Stop Jew hatred.”

Ofc I don’t disagree. People shouldn’t hate any ethnic group, and no house of worship should need armed security… But the ethnic-realist part of me finds stuff like this interesting as a social case study. What’s the subtext? Who’s it really aimed at? Etc.

I feel sorry for the Republicans on issues like voter ID, mail voting, ballot harvesting, etc.

What they probably /want/ to say at a gut level is that maximizing voter turnout isn’t good for society, which is probably true, but they can’t say that because it’s Not Who We Are. And, since this is America, questions of disparate impact are never far off, so anything short of dragging a ballot out of anyone with a pulse is, in addition to being an alleged offense against democracy, no doubt super-duper racist and anuddah slavery as well.

If San Francisco believes it’s such a terrible place for black people (I mean current black people, not their ancestors) that $5 mil in compensation is justified, why is there absolutely no expectation of disaggregation by either party in reparations discussions? If San Franciskkko is such a cruel & oppressive place for black people, shouldn’t black people want to leave? Shouldn’t white liberals want to see blacks freed from their systematically racist city?

Ofc neither party thinks that way, which tells you everything you need to know.

Thought experiment: Suppose the Soviets win the Cold War. America and Britain are weakened considerably. NATO is dissolved, and the Warsaw Pact expands to include all of continental Western Europe… Suppose, in this world, the Soviets and Anglos are fighting a proxy war in Northern Ireland, which a humiliated British government had to give up after losing the Cold War.

Striking numbers Image What’s going on here?

Part of it is the divergence of the United States regime from the American nation. Complaining about how racist and exclusionary the American nation is is, ironically, a way to signal you’re a good subject of the USA.
