The heart of the Heritage American debate is often a denial that is "for you but not for me"

You are not allowed a distinct cultural identity from which I am excluded. However, I am absolutely allowed as a special cultural identity as a Canadian, Mexican, Somali or whatever.
1/ This is arguably not just a side effect, but one of the enabling mechanisms for American empire.

The American culture, money and military are supposed to dominate the world. So, all are encourage to believe they are part of that, and that they have full knowledge of America.

Kruptos is (with respect) not an American, let alone a Heritage American, and it really shows in this "intellectual" thread.

Speaking as a Heritage American, the origins are deeply organic, not at all based on state propaganda. It's the story of my life.
1/ I grew up as part of a people, with a distinct culture that had been centuries in the making. We were the frontier culture that opened up the wilderness, became the farmers and then the greatest industrial center of the world. For hundreds of miles in any direction -

A great deal of truth to this post!

My only quibble is that "industrialization" misses the mark. The Agricultural Revolution came before the Industrial Revolution, it is what created the surplus calories, and those excess calories are what allowed the Industrial Revolution.
1/ Seed drills, steel plows, threshers, combines & the like are what allowed almost all of our current civilization to come into being.

For the millennia before that, around 80% to 90% of the population always had to be involved directly in food production.

This is a useful video because there is a strong element of truth to it.

If the current trajectory continues, then Trump, Hegseth & Miller may indeed be in cuffs in 2029, because they are too weak. The truth is the Dems do put their opponents in cuffs, and the Repubs don't.
1/ This is therefore an interesting taunt on several levels.

The Dems are the power party, the Repubs are the cucks. This has been the system for many years.

Trump was elected, among other reasons, to change that relationship. At this point, looking at DOJ, FBI & IC

Interesting photo, the comments are worth reading.

They are a quasigovernmental sponsored paramilitary group. The Deep State Feds encourages them, while the RW equivalent would be infiltrated & taken down immediately.

They are undoubtedly quite capable of killing,
1/ and they should probably be viewed as Death Squads, such as have been seen in many conflicts. As a paramilitary unit they would be carved up by an actual military unit, but that isn't their role, Death Squads don't fight pitched battles but create terror & intimidation

Yes, this is outrageous, yes, it compromises national security, yes, it's treason.

But, more than anything else, it is Hierarchy. the Left gets the freedom to kill, and that is forbidden the Right. Protests, on the streets - and also with the military & CIA.
1/ The whole idea is to blatantly create two standards. If Obama wants to authorize 500 fatal drone strikes, or whomever else in the Deep State, there will never be a questioning or a prosecution.

Call me a "deranged fantasist" but there are 3 important qualifications here.

1. There will be no widespread conflict so long as the US dollar maintains reserve status, we're all too fat & happy. As discussed in the thread from 2 years ago below,
1/
 x.com/SaysSimulation… x.com/curtis_yarvin/… a major plunge in the national standard of living will set off an existential conflict of sorts on an economic & regional basis. The Dems relying on the redistribution of wealth will not settle for materially less, and a forced reduction in producer wealth leading to poverty

My most serious disagreement with Trump has to do with heritage Americans, STEM, and the knife he's putting into the heart of young Americans working in STEM - including my children. He's flipped from his base to taking directions from Silicon Valley, to screw us all over.
1/ American power was built on becoming the world's leading industrial & technological, and that was all based on STEM. Engineers, scientists & technologists built this nation & the modern world - not financiers, or real estate developers, or marketers, or lawyers.

MAGA had a good run for 10 years. It's replacement by the America First movement is a very healthy sign.

What we're seeing in action is what was described in the thread below from 2.5 years ago - the Overton Window is being dragged Right.
1/
 x.com/SaysSimulation… x.com/SaysSimulation… Trump did many good things over the years, and I appreciate that. He still needs our support in a number of areas including ICE, deportations & working to end DEI.

But, we're finding out that for Trump, America is a propositional nation, and heritage Americans are unimportant

We have a foundational split growing in the Repub party. Good!

I have two smart kids who are pursuing STEM degrees. Any "RW" politician who is fine with their being unemployed while jobs are given to Indians or Chinese is dead to me. That includes Trump.
1/ The Great Replacement comes to a halt, or it does not.

Many Repub politicians seem to fine with it, they just want to slow down the pace a little bit. Flood the nation with "legal" immigrants being given the best jobs, replace the population.

Yes. Owning a single family detached home on a lot with a used car was the highest standard of living for the working class that had been achieved in the world, and tens of millions lived that life.

If the jobs hadn't been exported, and the migrants brought in, Millennials &
1/ Gen Z could be living the Boomer life today, which was even better.

I somewhat get the hatred of Boomers, but the Boomers didn't set that process in motion. The "Greatest Generation" elites did it in the 1960s - 1980s, with Hart Cellar & the early stages of globalization.

Back to emotionless observer mode.

Trump is making a major strategic error. He's riding high in terms of wielding tremendous power. But yet... his opponents still hold most of the power. The Deep State, the RINOs, the judges, the FBI/CIA, etc.

Trump's shield is the RW base.
1/ Trump & his circle of allies are still a relatively small, revolutionary group taking on the elites of establishment American power.

The only way Trump can do this is with the support of a vast group of people, the people the Heartland & Red America in particular.

There are many blackpills to choose from, I don't care to bring the Jewish question into something I think about daily. No room.

I will, however, go into observer mode & say that American & Israeli jewish elites are making epic mistakes, that will quickly come back on them.
1/ Two key existential points for jewish elites.

1) Israel has survived because of American support. Yes, effective military, etc., but little Israel would have still been overrun decades ago without US backing.

2) Jewish elites in America have achieved unprecedented power &

Ruh Roh, Legal Nobody just busted me, and figured out my localist agenda.

When almost everything is owned locally or in-state, then out-of-staters don't own it. New Yorkers, NYC banks or multinationals don't own almost any of the Heartland.

The issue is money vs the Real.
1/ Few people understand how money really works in its modern form. Money is entirely artificial, it is artificially created in highly controlled process - and that money creation is the key to how wealth is distributed in America.

All current US dollars are debt.

The US has been going through a very high rate of political change. The terms liberal & conservative are obsolete. The radical Left / progressives have taken full control of the Dem party, no room for libs.

The Repubs have a civil war between conservatives & the emerging RW.
1/ The Repub "conservatives" are the very definition of controlled opposition, and have been since the early 1930s (few remember that the Repub candidates in 1936 & 1940 were registered Democrats).

They give half or more of the electorate the ability to vote in opposition

An interesting example of 21st urban/rural conflict is currently playing out in Mali. About 20% of the population, 4.25 million out of 21 million, live in the capital.

The Islamist rebels in the vast hinterlands just cut the fuel supply. Whoopsie. Game over.
1/ The scale here is pretty interesting. Mali is 3X the size of California. So, one supremely powerful(???) megacity. And then a vast, sparsely populated countryside.

The Mali government still has ground forces & air assets - but no fuel means the vehicles don't move &

There are two overwhelming issues with Social Security. The first is that there are supposed to be savings, and our f*cking political class stole every dime.

Second - and much bigger - is that Social Security was premised on 10+ younger workers for every retiree.
1/ Falling birth rates have intersected with increasing average life spans, and WHAM!, the whole financial structure fell apart. The long term future for Social Security is necessarily insolvent under those circumstances.

The budget & trade deficits will come to a head within 5-10 years, or sooner. This will necessarily create radical reductions in benefits. How to cut will be the critical question.

Seething generational hatred is no way to decide. Go for the massive fraud & foreigners first.
1/ In our corner of the RW, I keep seeing people fantasizing about slashing Social Security as the first priority. Wtf? Honest Social Security goes to parents & grandparents who worked & paid taxes their entire lives. That's who you want to hurt the most? Says a lot.

If there is a suspension of free food, it will shine a very bright light on the true state of America.

In my small, Midwestern city no one will go hungry, there won't be open shoplifting, the grocery store parking lots will be entirely safe. Of course, we have EBT recipients,
1/ whites, blacks & hispanics, but the size of our city makes this situation inherently much more manageable. The numerous, well-attended churches will spring into action, as will the non-profits, and the city & county govts. There will be food banks, food kitchens & transportation

Where is the RW going? Who will hold power? What will our culture be?

I'm countersignaling one of the most important pieces of propaganda forced on America since WWII, which was vital for becoming an empire - that we are a single, homogenous nation.

Regionalism rejects this,
1/ and holds that power - and culture - begin at the county & state levels. These aggregate but don't disappear in the regional. The regions, that are made up of many powers & cultures, then become the national.

These are the beliefs that the United STATES was founded upon.

Some events of recent days show that this thread 👇 from two years ago is now two years closer to coming true. It is just a matter of time.

The core of the Left is the redistribution of wealth - and they will imprison & even kill to keep that going. The suspension of EBT SNAP
1/ free food program in Nov that is being discussed if the budget standoff is not resolved, has led to a number of social media posts by blacks & Leftists. They assert that they will just take all the food from the stores if they don't get the money from the rest of us,
