Two feasible pro-civilizational efforts:

1. Get more low density low cost housing to talented young people whose labor travels by internet, so they reproduce

2. Get laboring talented young people to someplace with low density low cost housing and internet, so they reproduce I have previously offered my thoughts on how we should conceive of, and measure the success of, social and institutional alternatives to the mainstream culture and educational regimes: Image

Biden will win.

We'll hear coping just like after the "red wave" failed in 2022 or the "stop the steal" coping in 2020 - MAGA has its head in the sand about THREE things:

1. Demographic Shifts (among *Whites*)
2. Abortion
3. Recency Bias

Let's look at each of these: 1.
Trump won in 2016 with tiny margins of victory in Michigina, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania - among non-college educated (working but often middle class) exurban whites: a lot of people who were union workers or would have been non-voters showed up.

But did Trump 'win whites'?

Doesn’t matter

They could openly admit firing only white people in the name of “retention equity”

The only way it ever stops is if white people politically organize to pursue their material self-interest *as* white people, which is literal white nationalism, which you’d reject What do all of these new prominent right wingers expect? Why is anyone surprised about this? What do they think opposition to the Civil Rights Act was about? Why do they think the Southern states fought integration, or why middle America opposed forced bussing? Etc, etc, etc.

The Tucker Carlson in Russia critiques are true:
Yes, it's just Moscow center
Yes, the groceries are expensive
Yes, Putin killed Navalny

But Tucker has NEVER seen such a modern city, with SO many white people, where public culture is *assertively* hetero and nominally Christian Tucker is a child of the Cold War; this is shocking to him.
All the dismissals he grew up with about Russia as Godless, as poor, as corrupt - these were results of the *Communists* whose spiritual descendants Tucker feels he battles daily in America:

All Bud Light needed to do was apologize.

But they wouldn't, and won't, as that would mean at least implicitly repudiating transgenderism by accepting their (former) customers' moral framework as the right one, which says transgenderism is wrong. So they try this stuff: Image Shane Gillis and Donald Trump endorse transgenderism.

If Bud Light partnered with someone who said "I want to gas Jews because I'm a Nazi", and Bud Light never actually apologized but said stuff like 'Third, to all our valued consumers, we hear you.' in a 'move on statement',

The message young people get and have been getting is it is normal to have sex with lots of people, that sex is no big deal, that it is something they should do, soon! — but that pregnancy is life ruining, pregnancy is always a risk, and they must never get/get anyone pregnant.

There are so many recent articles now in 'prestige' publications (NYT, WSJ, New Yorker, NPR, Washington Post, etc.) on "open marriages" or "polyamory" bc the sexual revolution's pushing of the envelope had generational bleed through (intra-sexual competition/behavior modeling): Image Not only have more people (of both sexes) in each generation since the 1960s become more damaged for marriage at ever earlier ages, their status of being unmarried and socially unaccountable meant more time as intra-sexual competition for later cohorts coming of age.

IRS Section 174

You're not hearing about it much yet, but boy are you gonna

Software engineer/programmer salaries are now an "R&D expenditure", with different amortization rules, and thus, MASSIVELY increased taxable portions of business income.

All me to explain, 2021: + $15M rev.
$8M pay ($6M is devs)
$2M spend ($1M is "R&D")

Deductable: $8M pay, $2M spend; $10M

$5M of taxable income

2022: same

Deductable: $2M pay, $1M spend; $3M + capitalize $6M pay, $1M spend + only deduct %10 of that $7m

$11.3M of taxable income

1. Young Men Matter The Most - I

This sounds wrong to the modern ear.
Aren't there lots of talented young women? Don't older people of either sex still have things to contribute? Sure.

But they don't matter the most.



Spanning Scandinavia to India, Iberia to east of the Urals, the religions, languages, and lineages of bands of young warriors from the Steppes who thundered out in chariots yet resonate today in the minds, tongues, and *bloodlines* of hundreds of millions of men.

For all of human history, societies have lived and died by the fates and feats of their young men. Armies have conquered or been conquered, cities have been put to the sword, industry has prospered, pestilence has taken hold, and new frontiers have been penetrated through the blood, sweat, and grit of young men. Between 20-30 (give or take about 5 years), concurrent with coursing testosterone, enough knowledge to be dangerous, with neither the perspective or family obligations to be hesitant or too busy, young men drive civilization forward.

Any society which loses its young men, through catastrophe or self-inflicted lassitude, is doomed.
Any society which harnesses them has the world to win.razibkhan.com/p/casting-out-…Image

The USA's suicide rates have been rising the fastest among its youngest people and are now at all time highs.

This alongside the end of marriage and births is the story of the "success" of democracy, technology, markets, immigration; of the establishment for the last 30 years.Image

You can have whatever beliefs you want, and justify your chosen ideology with whatever stories you want to tell yourself; but the reality is that the way things have been arranged causes growing numbers of young people to not marry, and not start families and kill themselves.

Notice that he can be proud in public and doesn’t fear doxxing. That’s because he knows the left/establishment will never fail to take care of him-—there will always be work, even make-work—conferring a fairly well-off life.

Rightists *do not* have this, so they always lose. Fundamentally, one side cares WAY more.

Those Border/Red States likely to remain controlled by nationalist-conservatives should start to combine their resources and co-deploy their respective National Guard units and State police forces to work on these things together, to develop interoperability & personal ties... Once you look, you start to see that existing State lines are not how people live, but their constituent counties do provide useful resolution to the ambit of a nation's life:



You could have highly controlled States create meso-structures of their own: dailyyonder.com/for-most-ameri…

Everyone is misinterpreting this graph, almost no one reads the paper.

I remember when pitching a (pretty well known, also gay male) VC for a matchmaking co., this chart was in the deck and he said "Wow so that means online dating is efficient!"

No. Lol.

Here's what it means: The graph is a cleaned up version from this:

"Disintermediating your friends: How online dating in the United States displaces other ways of meeting", Michael J. Rosenfeld, 2019

"disintermediating" is a fancy way to say "getting rid of".

First, you can define your ideological realm, some large but manageable N-dimensional space. Don't pick stuff that's basically the same or super close. That's a tell. You want a minimum spanning set.

Humorously, you are literally choosing the "basis" of your ideology.

If you're a patriotic, conservatively oriented White American who will live at least into 2050, you should think about what life in The US will be like if *this* is the stuff said about your race, by one of your race; a 'right wing' politician, even.

Look into South Africa, OK? People's hackles raise when you mention it without fawning, but the reality is that race is the best predictor variable for voting in the US, is mentioned by every politician, left wing journalist, and the Democratic party as part of how US politics works, etc.

It matters.

The reality is NO amount of immigration can ever be a viable strategy—setting aside the cultural and political turmoil it causes—for “shoring up” a nation’s population dynamics.

IMHO: More 20-34 year old Americans should be marrying/working/making babies, vs. killing themselves.

I know it’s crazy talk, but just hear me out:

Women, the ones who CAN have babies, seem to love them IF they do, but it means a long time not working to have at least two, and they have to feel confident in a guy to do that. Men, who DON’T have the baby, seem to like to compete.

Ireland is a big problem for a world order that wants people reduced to fungible meat robots. The country is beautiful, clean, economically productive for its size — but it never had slaves. It never colonized anyone. The people didn’t displace any natives, they ARE the natives. None of the usual moral badgering, to justify importing the greater supply of meat robots available in the Global South for work, applies. And it’s not even like the country has a sizeable long-term minority population. Forget “White”/European, Ireland is ~ still 90% Irish.

A crucial feature of the future:

THE PLANES WILL START CRASHING

Aviation has become incredibly safe, convenient, and cheap—and in tandem, the salaried economic roles of its personnel more coveted, and more subject to diversity concerns.

That *will* erode safety considerations:
