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,

I've spent a long time thinking through these issues, and Jukic misses the obvious point.

It's all cultural. The current global culture is a toxic, suicidal piece of shit, doomed to annihilation. The successor cultures will be quite different, as were the prior cultures.
1/ Humanity itself is not the issue, and humanity will survive without a problem, unless it is murdered by current elites through AI, nuclear war, genetic engineering gone awry, or something similar.

I know a fair number of older liberals, including hicklibs, & they share some commonalities.

They grew up in a time of deep cultural programming regarding race & gender. They became comfortable. They live in areas where they are little affected by crime or illegal immigration
1/ Their self-images are based on their cultural programming. Smart, intelligent, high-status white people all think the same way about race & gender, and self-police their thoughts. Only stupid, ignorant, low-status rednecks & southerners would think otherwise.

If internal conflict is the future of the US, as many believe, then we need to integrate the three graphs below. Because in combination, they would likely determine the result of the conflict.

Who desires death for enemies? Who's personally willing to fight? Male/female?
1/ Image

Image The first graph is recent and relates to the Kirk killing. About 30% of liberals in their 20s & 30s are fine with the violent deaths of their political opponents. They are truly a generation of bloodthirsty vipers.

The number falls to less than 10% on the Right.

It is impossible for the US to mine & refine rare earths or rare metals (such as Lithium) without fundamental economic & environmental changes. We have no choice - though that doesn't mean we'll do it

Environment first - we need to overcome the hypocrisy of the Left with EVs.
1/ The move to make everything electric in the US, with rechargeable batteries is based on a peculiar kind of blindness.

The Left is extremely strict about environmental damage in the US, but pretends it doesn't exist if it is moved to other places.

Gray zone warfare is when one nation attacks another - but in a way that has "plausible deniability". Arguably, the world has been there for a number of years now.

This was a critical facility for the US military. Bulk explosives, land mines, and C4, among other weapons.
1/ Can we say for sure what happened here? No, there likely won't ever be definitive proof, and that is more or less the point. The Dems opened the borders, and millions of people came over, particularly military age men.

While the media never presents it this way, it's important to understand that the Dems are inherently the party of Force & Violence.

The Dems want to control the behavior of other people, & to redistribute other peoples money through law, which is backed by Force of the State
1/ As an example, the Left wants to support the poor. Not through charity, but through MAKING the entire rest of the country pay taxes to support the poor. Anyone who refuses will be FORCED to pay, including imprisonment if they do not.

Technology makes most jobs, including farming, 10X to 20X easier than they were 2 centuries ago. We should have extraordinary amounts of free time. But, we don't. Why?

Every aspect of modern society is set up to allow multiple people to not (really) work, for each who does.
1/ Taxes are far higher from a societal perspective than what is ever presented. This isn't that hard to see.

Income taxes. Sales taxes. Property taxes. Medicare taxes. Social Security taxes. Gas taxes. Licenses & business taxes

Put all together - over 50% for genuine producers

The #1 priority for engineering colleges across the nation right now is attracting more women & minority engineers.

However, there's a problem. Engineering is hard. Things like calculus-based physics are really hard. Let's explore how colleges are getting around this.
1/ I have knowledge of a calculus-based physics course at a major college, that every engineer must pass. But, while it is critical, the college absolutely does not want the physics to be a "weed out" class, that could be problematic for the women & minority students.

Human sexuality has an animal basis - evolutionary biology, the quite different reproduction strategies for men & women that lead to descendants reaching adulthood.

Every civilized society, until now, tried to channel those base instincts into something beneficial for society
1/ Women had a mostly reliable strategy to find a man who would provide for their entire lives, who would protect them from other men, and who would provide a stable family & economic base for raising their childhood to adulthood.

In the West, women were treated well.

My hot take is that women being unable to find "good men" is almost entirely the fault of the women. His daughter likely met many dozens of great young men, fine marriage material - and didn't even notice them. What got her romantic (sexual) interest was good-looking bad boys.
1/ We had many centuries of strict social controls to keep this from being a problem. Those all got tossed during the sexual revolution. And now that it's the granddaughters of the original "liberated" women, and the last remnants of shame or duty are gone -

This was often referred to as the "brain drain", it was intentionally created, it was a problem for the Heartland for decades - and it has reversed over the last 5 years.

CA now comes to top Midwestern schools, even as the Northeast goes to the South because of DEI admissions
1/ Historically, the Ivies & adjacents used to recruit from every state, taking only the top students, which let them claim to be a national elite, while draining the best from the interior.

The thread & linked article below are each vital for understanding the future of Europe - and its future options.

Europe has been quite thoroughly played by China. In the process they've created a global competitor who could depress European standards of living for decades.
1/ The graphs are well worth studying in both the thread & article.

Basically, China set out a trap for Europe, that was invisible from a financial globalization perspective, but was always clearly visible from a nation-state, competing geopolitical bloc perspective.
