Most of the comments on my Jared Taylor post have been positive, but I'm also getting pushback.

The Heartland is the traditional source of American power, it is overwhelmingly the source of the 2024 electoral college victory, and it is arguably the last bastion of Western
1/ Image Civilization, in terms of close to a hundred million people of European descent who are still strongly opposed to the destruction of our culture. In terms of governors and state legislatures, these are the last bastions of genuine RW political power in the West.

My heart goes out to the victims of the LA fires & I hope there is a quick end to the fires.

That said this is legitimately a highly political topic, as what we are watching is what happens when false narratives meet cruel reality. This looks to be primarily self-inflicted.
1/ 1. Dry conditions & high winds are a natural feature of Southern California. Of course they don't occur daily - but a reasonable person will expect them to occur at least every few years.

Therefore reasonably competent state & local governments would intensively manage for

From a political framing perspective this is ideal. Absolutely horrific crimes have been committed as a result of large scale immigration, the public understands clearly. The British elites are possibly choosing the suppression of factual information as their hill to die on.
1/ This is an example of where in-group thinking within an "elite" can lead to disastrous mistakes. The human cockroaches on BBC Newsnight think it is reasonable.

If you look at polling in the US, about 30% to 50% of Dems are this crazy as well, if you look at things like

Is Rotherham a distraction from H-1Bs? Yes, doesn't matter, it needs our full attention.

The Left is reeling. Think of it as a dam with multiple cracks. This dam must be relentlessly attacked. The Rotherham mass rapes are a perfect tool for breaking the dam, as I will explain
1/ 1. First & most importantly, the Rotherham mass rapes are true. They really happened, in 20 or more cities, and continue to this day. A quarter million or more young girls raped by predatory immigrant gangs, with the effective aid of British politicians, police & media.

"Elite Theory" is spread by humanities majors who are bad at math.

Yes, the average elite is smarter than the average person. However, only a minority of the smartest people are elites. See the difference?

Consider JD Vance. Elite?

Born in poverty, grew up lower middle-class, enlisted in the Marines, returned to graduate from Ohio State. In other, salt of the earth, not the slightest bit elite.

Then he was accepted to Yale Law School. Did the heavens part & trumpets sound as his IQ went up by 30 points?

The Rotherham mass rapes have a great deal of relevance for the Heartland.

The victims were the salt of the earth, the British white working class, out in the "hinterlands" - much like flyover country.

The British & American elites are tightly intertwined.
1/
These trans-Atlantic elites have far more in common with each other than they do the populations of their nations. They have similar attitudes, and they are both deeply Leftist. Because the UK is much more Left than the US in general, looking at the UK is good for seeing what

An interesting thread, that I would argue is all a rationalization. Let's get down to the truth.

1. Use a crock pot / slow cooker. Fill it with unprocessed foods that are very cheap and much healthier for you. Cook enough for multiple meals. If you are single, eat left-overs
1/ for several days afterwards. These can be set to cook for 8-12 hours, no danger of fires.

2. In general, either cook meals that are very quick - bachelors can get very good at this - or prepare meals that are good for multiple meals.

Sadly, this is part of the Everything Scam that is being done on all of us by predatory oligopolistic corporations - the same places hiring all the H-1Bs

This is Cars as a Service, like Dishwashers as a Service, SaaS, etc. High tech on the surface - but difficult / impossible to repair over time. Everything now has the numerous sensors with the screens where if something breaks - it's cheaper to simply replace the unit than to attempt a repair.

There a several levels to this, and they are all bad.

The relationship between liberal white women & Indian immigrants is pretty interesting, and this ties into some earlier threads.

One of the core groups for the Dem party is single women.

By Western standards, India is a racist & sexist society,
1/ Image that has major problems with rape.

By supporting H-1B immigration, liberal women increase the number of women who will be discriminated against, and quite possibly raped.

By supporting illegal immigration by criminals, liberal women increase the number of women

Musk is what he's always been - a California Dem immigrant & globalist, who looks down on flyover America.

The problem this creates for him is that like his peer group, Musk does not understand the actual relationship between Trump & his voters.

Trump did not create
1/
and does not control MAGA voters. Oh, sure, Trump came up with the branding, he did the organization, great job with both.

But, what Trump mainly did was to tap into an enormously powerful force that was there before him & will likely be even more powerful when he is gone.

Have to disagree. This is not just on X. In huge numbers, the US population is unhappy about high degrees of immigration. The white population, particularly white males, is keenly aware of the widespread institutional racism & sexism being practiced against them,
1/ and this is helping to create the most conservative generation of young men - not just on X - that we have seen in years.

The pushback we're seeing here is very much national, although it doesn't apply to liberal boomers.

This new docudrama is highly entertaining!

As far as I can tell, Elon seems to think that he has just completed a corporate takeover of the Republican party (& America), and he's now at the point where he gets to start firing large numbers of employees.
1/
My guess is that in his numerous private conversations with Trump in recent months, there was an agreement that there would be an increase in highly skilled immigration, and there would not be "racism". Trump is on record on both. Musk may think he's covered.

The current Twitter wars are about globalism vs nationalism. A faction of globalist elites, who had money but lacked votes, entered into an alliance with nationalists who could deliver vast numbers of votes.

Musk is the ultimate globalist & he has been very clear about this.
1/
Musk is not from the US, he has zero ties (and apparently zero respect) for those of us whose families have been here for centuries. His companies are thoroughly multinational, as is his workforce.

His goal is to supercede all nations, and take the most talented people from

Why the French didn't settle more of North America, including the Midwest, is a fascinating question, and so far as I l know, it was the French people that were the reason, not solely the government.

The French settled Quebec & Louisiana - but, unlike the British colonies
1/ they didn't organically spread outwards. The Mississippi River, along with its major tributaries such as the Ohio & the Missouri are the natural gateway to the American Heartland.

Unlike the British, who had to cross the Appalachians, the French had easy access to everything,

The post below is worth reading (the OP is followed by Hegseth), but what's really interesting is the numerous comments, both with this post, and particularly his other post that he links.

This is the third component where the US military may be in deep trouble: personnel
1/ & command. The degree of rot & dysfunction that is described, in the comments in particular, is extraordinary & not at all compatible with fighting a real war with a peer power.

The Democratic party, government & military are all obsessed with DEI.

There is an elementary error here, that will change all of our lives. To be fair, this error is shared by almost all economists, major corporations & the government.

We do not live in a post-industrial society. We live in an industrial society, perhaps the most industrial
1/ society that has ever lived.

There are an extraordinary number of factories around the world, with huge numbers of workers including skilled labor, who work nonstop to keep an endless flow of ships, planes & trucks going to America, that are daily delivered to our population.

To be a Traveler is the antithesis of living in a Community. It's delusional to think that you can have both at the same time. I think that there are some very important implications when it comes to what has gone wrong with our culture, and how we can save it.
1/ Community is based on continuity, for both people & places. What it used to be was living in a place for your whole life, perhaps being buried in the same graveyard as your grandparents and their grandparents. The people you knew in school might be your pallbearers.

I wholeheartedly condemn the murder of the UHC CEO. He was a human being, this was awful - as murder is.

That said, as a populist, I don't think his murder falls into some special category. It was no worse - or better - than the murder of any other 50 something married father
1/
In other words, I do not see the murder of an "elite" as being anything special, compared to the murder of a middle class or upper class person. And from the perspective of the "elites", that is some pretty radical stuff.

The Finns are liberals, feminists & atheists. Their pro-child policies do work to the extent that their TFR of 1.3 is significantly higher than the TFR of equivalent liberals, feminists & atheists in the US.

Raising TFR isn't hard, people just don't like where it goes.
1/ The primary driver of fertility is culture. If the culture is such that women believe that their primary purpose in life is to have & raise children, then they will do so.

If women believe their primary purpose in life is to serve themselves, to enjoy a career, to travel

With the likely but not certain announcement of Brooke Rollins @BrookeLRollins as Ag Secretary, I decided to do a little digging. Preliminary conclusion is that while she won't make people in regenerative agriculture happy, she could be a lot worse as well.

To be clear, I'm not anti-European at all. We're cousins within the same larger Western civilization, and I wish you all the best.

The issue is the international "elites" who dominate both sides, and who for their own benefit, have made the decision to use Heartland Americans
1/ as the Warrior for empire, making us pay the blood price, even as the American people are taxed to pay for the military side of the Empire.

We the people of the Heartland are done with that - and we never wanted it in the first place.
