Canada absolutely *could* be saved in a matter of weeks / months. Populations have replaced each other throughout history, mass deportations could easily be done.

With the willpower. The interesting part about Canada, that I hear from many here, is that it would un-Canadian
1/ for Canada to save itself. The Canadians are not OK with overthrowing the tyranny of their elites, armed rebellion is highly un-Canadian. The majority of Canadians today seem to be at least somewhat OK with their replacement by immigrants - or so the polls seem to say.

Nobody in Canada seems willing to address the underlying basics - but they may pay for it the rest of their lives. This isn't about the US or "elbows up."

1. Only about 32% of Canadian exports to the US are energy, and about another 8% are raw materials
2. The other 60%
1/ are manufactured goods, which the US used to make for itself and could easily do so again.
3. Canada cannot support its own standard of living, but massively imports from the rest of the world, for everything including phones, computers, consumer goods, the whole gamut.

Effectively, the Supreme Court got together in the middle of the night to extend two middle fingers towards the American people & shout: "Fuck you, peasants! Fuck your wishes, fuck your votes! We the Elites rule, and we will destroy your nation under a flood of immigrants!"
1/ This isn't really about Trump, though it is about what may come after Trump.

Trump was elected on a mandate with overwhelming popular support, including independents & many Dems. Close the borders. Deport illegal immigrants.

The Federal courts & Supreme Court are effectively

This is a "mask off" moment by the judiciary.

This idea of neutral lawyers in robes applying the law fairly has never been true (the Founders certainly didn't believe it) and as the judiciary has become increasingly activist, open tyranny by the elites against the people
1/ is being revealed as the true purpose of the judiciary.

The judiciary has always been a non-electoral means for the elites to override the people, and this has gotten much worse over the last 2 centuries.

We now have active, open judicial tyranny. The will of the people is

The Old Global Order has already irretrievably fallen, it cannot be put back together again.

The fatal mistake was made by US & allied elites in the decades after the fall of the Soviet Union, when they made the erroneous but immensely profitable error of assuming a unipolar

world. This lead to WEF, Davos, the Paris Climate Accords, and so forth. It led a great deal of demilitarization.

But, the biggest mistake was deindustrializing, and moving to very fragile & complex globalized supply chains in the beliefs that the old world of nationalism

People should of course read who they want to read, and follow whoever they want. If we are to do useful things, however, I do believe that there needs to be a very open gatekeeping of wannabe intellectual "thought leaders" in the online RW.

We have two vast forces, and one
1/ quite minor "force".

The huge force underlying everything else is the populist RW movement in the US, which wants to see many reforms including economic reforms, cultural reforms & racial reforms.

The second great force is the Trumpian political movement which has broken

Nationalism is what the US needs - and that requires being able to do something that would have come easily to previous generations, which is identifying treasonous scum. Read the long post below👇, and then go to the video which he is endorsing.

Carter is an economic traitor
1/ and he needs to be harshly punished - preferably driven into bankruptcy - as such.

The last 50+ years of betraying America and its Heartland has led to a proliferation of vermin. These people love making money by trashing & betraying their fellow Americans at every turn.

I had never followed Kaschuta, but the latest RW "scandal" got me curious, so I checked her tl - and holy cow!

Anyone who has ever treated her as being an form of RW "intellectual" needs to do some serious rethinking. I've gotten in trouble many times for rejecting urbanite
1/ RW intellectuals, and Kaschuta is a really good example.

She is in no way, shape or form one of us, she never has been and she - as well as those who tried to make her part of the RW - should never have been given the oxygen to do so.

Two Americas. It's revealing so many say that "no reasonable young man would work in a factory".

We have regional job fairs, where hundreds of graduating seniors will come to meet 30-40+ employers, mostly in manufacturing. What we're really talking about is region & status
1/
So, yes, in my area (I live in a factory town in the Rust Belt, with many others in the region), young men still graduate high school, or more often community colleges, and then go to work.

There are, however, large swathes of this country where the idea of a young man doing

Interesting post, the replies are worth reading.

There's a strong tension that is built into the thoroughly globalist American, who believes they are superior to the small town folk in flyover country

In asserting superiority & separateness, they give all claims to community
1/ as well as the protections of being in a community.

The choice is, of course, his to make. The consequences, if & when they occur, will be entirely upon him & his family as well.

The Global American Empire is a vast, fragile, extraordinarily complex system that is dedicated to the redistribution & consumption of wealth, rather than the production of wealth.

The GAE was on a doomed path for destruction, but in a major plot twist, the abused heart of

American power - the Heartland - has decided to proactively act to regain wealth & power. To reindustrialize and regain power, requires flipping tables on a global basis as well as domestic.

Most particularly - this attempt to save ourselves requires redistributing from those

A basic issue is that relatively few people understand complexity. The world works the way it does, why wouldn't it always.

The issue with the Euro & Canadian dollar is one of "price discovery". Canada, for instance, pays for its technological imports - the basis

for its modern standard of living - with the excess US dollars it gets by the US allowing Canada to run a substantial trade surplus with many manufactured goods. If the surplus is cut off as part of US reindustrialization, and Canada no longer has the USD to spend,

The Truth can be very unpopular, particularly among social groups, such as the global RW on X. Reality is there are fundamental conflicts of interest.

Unfortunately, a very good example is Europe's current assaults on the USD & Treasury yields. Their leaders hate Trump
1/ with a passion & view with contempt his vast numbers of MAGA followers in the Heartland. They are fully prepared to strike & try to bring down the US financial system, while impoverishing for life most of you reading this.

The US can far more easily break Europe than they

Will Europe become China's bitch just to stick it to the US?

The video linked in my following post is critical for understanding what is going on, and it has a great deal to do with my posts over the last ~10 days or so when it comes to Canada & Vietnam.
1/ The video is with Trump's chief economic advisor, and it explains the game that is afoot with China👇, 7 minutes & well worth watching.

Contrary to many on X, international economics is not like going to the store. The specifics are extraordinarily

Fissures can be good when they're honest, and what was real all along is brought to the surface.

What is happening in America is not under the "control" of the global intellectual RW, to the extent such a thing exists at all. The source of our strength is over 100 million
1/ RW Americans, primarily populists, and primarily from the Heartland. There isn't an equivalent like us anywhere in Europe or Canada, at least in nothing like these numbers. We have actual, real, mass political power - and we elected Trump specifically for him to use it

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". That is Arthur C. Clarke's "Third Law" and based on the replies to the thread below, it definitely applies to 21st Century defense manufacturing.

Manufacturing technology is indeed magic for a large
1/ portion of the population, including many who think themselves to be deep intellectual thinkers. But it is not in their mind a high, mysterious magic. No, because "magic" is ubiquitous & made by low-status people, it isn't even worth thinking about.

This is a nice graphic summary of what I've been writing about for years, but the average American is still sleepwalking - and the average European or Canadian is worse.

Batteries, drones, phones, laptops, the essentials of modern life - we don't make them anymore.
1/ What we take for granted as being our "rights" as privileged citizens of the West, is so far beyond the capabilities of the average person, it's like being a WWII cargo cult Pacific islander watching planes fly far overhead. It's the worst with urban service sector

The Canadians made me look up more detailed trade data 👇, big mistake! (Original post next page.)

The link below has export "maps" for the US & Canada for 2023 - and the situation is not what many Canadians think it is. Yes, oil & gas exports
1/
oec.world/en/profile/bil… are a big part of it - but they only account for 32% of Canadian exports (and that includes electricity).

Yes, aluminum & wood are important as well, but that still doesn't take Canada over 40% for exports.

Look at the export maps: cars & engines

If something has the right name - does that it mean it performs the task? This is the manipulation at the heart of the trans-Atlantic Leftist narrative for things such as DEI - but it can't handle warfare.

Three links to European warships that can't fight wars follow:

The relationship between geopolitics, international economics & personal standards of living isn't understood by the average person - particularly Europeans & Canadians

Your current standard of living is not your natural standard of living. Instead, you've been very well paid

by the Global American Empire, to be an obedient part of that empire.

These payments take numerous forms. For your media & elites, they have been receiving vast sums directly via USAID & other sources, along with the much larger indirect income from the financialization

The times are changing faster than in any point since ~1991.

Trend lines that have been continuing for decades are breaking fast, both domestically & internationally.

Most people's opinions on most things have already formed, and cannot handle genuine major change.
1/ 1991 was crucial because the Soviet Union fell that year, the patterns that governed the world since 1945 fell apart, and a vast number of futures opened.

Instead of an incredible future, we got the rise of parasites & financialized whores as the hegemony of the US
