Game of Thrones is, in many regards, the era-defining artistic achievement of the period between '08 and '21 in the GAE. It tells the story of the collapse of belief in a political formula into Machiavellian politics, and the rivers of blood that the collapse presages.
🧵 The story lives in the shadow of the untold story of how Robert Baratheon assembled a monarchy by strength of the sword; and how that monarchy has descended into a degenerate oligarchy.
This an artistic rendering of FDR --> Obama Image

In 1999, Henry S. Rowen wrote an article for the Hoover Institution arguing that China would inevitably become a Western Democratic Country, his target date was between 2015 & 2019.

The failure of the GAE to assimilate China is the defining characteristic of modern geopolitics. Image From the day that Bush Sr. made the New World Order speech in 1991; the US ran it's largest, most aggressive program to forcibly integrate China into the GAE. 4 prongs:
1) US Investment
2) Anticolonialism
3) Special Economic Zones
4) Left wing academic/street activism

People think that Justin Trudeau is stupid, but he possesses the animal cunning of a consumate survivor. If the world ever experiences a nuclear holocaust, he will be Prime Minister of the cockroaches making them fly little rainbow flag and importing Indian cockroaches.
🧵
Image 6-9 months ago, Trudeau was facing political extinction. He had a caucus rovolt on his hands attempting to displace him as LPC leader, was facing insurmountable poll numbers, and a rebellion from the donor class because of asset price deflation.

There is no one cultural shit-lib cultural artifact that speaks to me of the change in the leadership class of the American Empire than Star Trek; This thread will explore this parallel transformation below: Star Trek's history can be divided into 5 major phases;
Star Trek "Progress"
Star Trek "Cold Warrior"
Star Trek "Science"
Star Trek "Transition"
Star Trek "DEI/Collapse"

The people of the American Empire today live haunted by the ashes of futures which were promised, but never materialized. This thread will review some of these unrealized dreams, which haunt us today. The first of these unrealized dreams was a world order where nations remained sovereign & distinct, but took joy in mutual appreciation and cooperation and resolved their differences through negotiation and international instructions the UN, WTO, and ICC.

Last night @AuronMacintyre & @OGRolandRat crossed paths on an episode of Cigar Stream. As Auron goes around and does the circuit of podcasts to sell the book, this is the one you should listen to. AA interrogates the work in a way others simply will not.

Here are my thoughts: Image Auron MacIntyre hits hard in this episode what I most appreciate about him as a thinker; the difference between deconstruction for it's own sake, and the effort to re-nest the deeply held values of his people in institutions which will give life to those values.

I don't agree that this is actually the reason. This is the public justification, but the pattern of behavior indicates that cultural erasure and the prevention of a coherent opposition is the primary goal, and that amulerating these issues is secondary at best. e.g. this was done before mass immigration, in an effort to erase a past that was viewed as an impediment to the ruling class.

"The reason our society was better [than Islamic society] was that everyone was educated, men AND women" - Lauren Southern

....where do you even start..... The men who built the West were, for the most part, not educated in the sense that Southern is speaking about, and neither were their wives.

A poorly understood reason why the US fears "boots on the ground" against an adversary with substantial military capabilities like Russia or Iran is because of the high probability that it would rapidly lead to regime change in the US. In any actual near-peer confrontation between the US and an adversary, a few things are inevitable.
1) A very large number of body-bags containing American soldiers putting political pressure on the regime in a way that dead Ukrainians just doesn't. Image

In Spandril's latest peice titled "The politics of hereditarianism", he touches on a peice of intellectual history that I don't think is broadly understood, but would be very helpful for current opponents of the regime to understand.
🧵 In the 18th & 19th century, European elites found themselves tied up in something of a knot concerning the position of the church:

The rise and fall of the Sid Meier's Civilization franchise from 1991 to 2018 is both one of the great tragedies of the computer gaming industry, and a window into the massive change in psychology of the US ruling class. This thread will explore both. I have played every civilization game many times, but in preparation for this thread, I have replayed each civilization game at least once from beginning to end; with the exception of Civilization VI, which I refuse to dignify with my further attention.

Reading the latest peice from @douglaswils I have to say that I am overwhelmed by the stupidity of the view of race that sits at the center; The below screenshot is from a statement Wilson highlights as a key guidepost. Image The statement essentially reads
Clause 1:
A cultural hertiage which glorifies God is valuable and worth preserving and likely to be associated with an ethnic group
Clause 2:
Every method which has been historically used to do so is verbotten.

Leftist have feel no shame or disgust in their moral vision.
Leftists do not feel a personal duty to God or to any abstract concept of Truth.
Leftists do not believe in absolute standards of conduct; they do not fear the judgement.

Never mistake this. They were against the police state, until it was applied to their political enemies. Image

Over the last month or so there has been debate on the dissident right about the utility of protest action, political violence, and the relationship between dissident elites and regime change. Here is a thread discussing the matter: As a starting place let us consider the @TheWorthyHouse &
@OGRolandRat concerning protests ostensively aimed at defending the Cenotaph during a Muslim anti-Israel protest in London. The substance of that disagreement can be summarized in this exchange;

Listening to @GreeneMan6 this morning I was reminded why I love content in this space so much; His reflection on the discourse surrounding Christian nationalism inspired a profound reflection on the state of my own people and churches. I have known for a long time that there were two large groups of modern Western Christians; those who have not meaningfully read the Old Testament, and those who pretend that they have not meaningfully read the Old Testament. What I didn't understand until recently is why.

This was a really excellent stream; It touches on two tensions that I think are deeply revelatory when understanding the elite that run the GAE. 1) The E-SG tension
The purpose of the "E" in ESG is to calcify the socio-economic order and forclose new entry into the elite via entrepernerial success.
The purpose of "SG" is to offer rewards to client groups, which has created a pathway for those groups toward the elite.

The reason Dave Ramsey's financial advice works so well is that most of it isn't really financial advice at all. My wife & I have been through lots of financial ups and downs; from the trials and tribulations of building two buisnesses, to having our house burn down. Reflections: The best implicit advice you get from someone like Dave Ramsey is also the best advice I could give you; Stop worrying about what other people say or think about your finances, and stop being afraid to confront what you percieve to be your own financial failures.

Over the last week, the US has seen the second and third largest bank failures in it's history, a profoundly impactful selective bailout, and a change which will affect crypto markets for years to come. Let's dive in 1/🧵: The Context:
When banks recieve deposits from customers, only a small fraction of the money is kept as cash. The remainder is used to purchase US governments bonds, under a set of guidelines set by the Federal Reserve [Internally, Basil III regs].
