The more and more I listen to American politicians in congress and the way the beltway class talks amongst themselves on panels and so on, the more I'm coming to the conclusion that some kind of war over Taiwan is actually very, very likely. Pretty much everyone agrees - whether tacitly or openly - that Taiwan, in and of itself, straight up doesn't matter. Semiconductors don't really matter either. When people list the ways that a Taiwan defeat would be bad, they start and end with "it would kill our empire."

To me, the V-22 is probably the DoD program that most symbolizes the current US military crisis. A naive belief in the idea that "progress" will solve all design challenges, married to a US obsession with "wunderwaffen" to make up for secular strategic weakness. Image Tiltrotors as a concept are fantastically hard to design right, even when compared to helicopters. But there was at one point a genuine belief that there'd be a huge civilian demand for these things. But their unreliability and insane costs to operate couldn't be solved.

The more I think about this tweet, the more I genuinely think it speaks to some quirk of the Polish psyche that's contributed to Poland's history being one of constant partition by stronger powers.

There is so many things wrong with this sentiment it's honestly dizzying. First of all, there is no way to get all of this sort of stuff delivered in a timely manner in the world we currently live in. The defense industrial base is maxxed out. A lot of military kit is already on back-order, with multi-year delays in delivery for *old* contracts.

Everyone over here has basically moved on to pretending Ukraine doesn't exist, the media never writes about the war at all at this point, and people just complain about immigrants or public service television or w/e.

We're already in the early stages of realignment, a la 2015. Like at some point the dam is going to break, just like it did in 2018, where people suddenly "discovered" that immigrants cost the swedish state a ton of money and did a lot of violent crime. Wow, what a discovery! I guess we can finally talk about this now!

This is an interesting perspective, but I do wonder how Putin would modify this view today. In 1992, this argument made sense; in 2022, the big rival to the Soviets, the United States, is basically suffering from the same serious dissolution as the late USSR did. In 1992, there was an alternative open for Russia: to become a "normal" free market nation-state.

That model is collapsing both economically and politically in 2022. Moreover the "time bomb" planted in 1917 now seems hardly unique. But when was the US "time bomb" planted?

All jokes aside, civil war in the US is now not only possible, but there's now a clear, realistic path for the US to get there.

The 2024 election is very likely to not be seen as legitimate by half of the population. Red states will be under immense pressures to not certify it. If you get a circus with states refusing to certify results or send electors, the result will be a legal and political vacuum. The guy in the White House will be a democrat, but he won't be a *president*. He will simply not be recognized as such.

This is insanely dangerous and anyone who tells you "oh no the elite is united, nobody will do anything but grumble, they've won" is smoking more crack than Hunter Biden after a month-long bender, sorry.

There are millions of reasons to assume it won't work. Let's walk through just a few of the reasons. Reason number one is that the US is massively polarized and in social and economic crisis. In those times, people look for *excuses* to riot and cause havoc, they don't take pains to avoid it. This is throwing gasoline on a fire.

Jokes aside, the reason I'm currently sperging about this isn't due to "genetic insecurity" or w/e (my mother's side can trace ancestry for half a millenia here), but because of a strong suspicion that this sort of universialism (pan europeanism, WN) is a nonstarter among chuds. To take Sweden as an example, "pan-Europeanism", unity among "white peoples", it's all a total dead end among swedish chuds. They're swedes, not European. The only people for that crap are urban libs, or edgy racist urban libs. That's it.

One observation is that the idea that "American culture doesn't exist" is *heavily* concentrated in upper middle class urbanoids. Lower middle class/chuds do not think that way, nor do they find it *offensive* when someone points out they belong to their own, unique culture. If you think about the other questions that are controversial today - should you go to college, should the right focus on "the elites" - they also map snugly onto this conflict between the upper and the lower middle classes and chuds.

I don't think that's a coincidence.

It's probably pretty late in the day for a political project when its justification depends upon mocking the very people that would be required for it to succeed (blue collar workers) as "bitter" for not being part of some putative (fairly mass-produced) "elite". I can't judge if what we're seeing now is similar to the alt right just before it collapsed (not my scene), but this is just incredibly reminiscent of the (mostly online) "populist" left anno late 2018 and 2019, just before the Corbyn fiasco.

Sossarna är inbjudna men väljer att inte gå. Folk från högern hånar dem för att de typ är "de riktiga homofoberna", och inte är progressive och hbtq-vänliga nog.

Det verkar inte slå någon att sossarna nu de facto gör bedömningen att Pride kanske gör mer skada än nytta? Under den perioden det gått bra för SD har man i regel varit i en *extrem* outsiderposition gentemot den här sortens institutioner, präglade av den urbana medelklassen.

Samtidigt som M hånar sossarna och SD försöker bli insläppta, väljer S självmant att gå mot ett outsiderskap.

It's just precious to have these Americans who genuinely think - like they actually do believe this - that some dude in Minnesota who ate half a herring once is some sort of member of the swedish nation. Just like American blacks who think they can find a "real home" in Africa. Every American black nationalist who went "back" found it completely miserable. Not due to poverty, but just due to alienation. They were just a sub-type of american, and basically completely lost. But they *thought* they would fit in, because of a "natural" connection.

That's completely true... up to a point. If we are talking a millenia back, Europe was still in the middle of extremely dramatic and sudden ethnic migrations. Such as the magyars settling in the Pannonian basin, or the norman invasions. The real issue is that Americans - due to government flouride in the water - basically put the ethnic cart before the horse. Looking for some "science" (lol) that will back up that northern Italians are actually the same, or maybe different, so that's the lines of ethnicity.

Hmm, I'm looking at the "swedish food" in Minnesota now. This is.... interesting? Mashed potatoes, lingonberries, pressed cucumber. Good, authentic.

But is that some sort of mustard sauce? Pepper sauce? Very strange, that would never be served here.

And wtf is the green slime? "I'd like some authentic swedish meatballs, but don't skimp on the GREEN SLIME please."

I mean, this argument relies on subtly conflating the terms. If you had immigration from Nigeria to Ireland over a period of 800 years to the point where some haplogroup changed but nobody felt like their ethnic group was replaced, that place 800 years later would be "Ireland". No Swede wakes up in a cold sweat in the middle of the right going "bruh what if there were like 200% more wallonians immigrants in 1400 than the official narrative says?? I could be a freaking german without even realizing it!! Sweden might not even exist!!!"

The problem with Americans talking about "race" when it comes to Europe is that the historical conception of race, "gens", basically denotes a group of people who are the same.

It's a particularist term. Norf FC is a "race" because they're not pooftas like the Souf. Simple as. When Americans start talking about race with regards to Europe, they immediately use it as a *universalizing* concept, based on pop science. Norf FC and Souf FC should stop bickering because some yankee has a chart based on "science" that says they're "the same".

Sort of. American racists on here have produced a shitton of amusing seethe and cope over the fact that the Nordic Resistance movement doesn't seem to be doing enough about *me*. "Bruh these european racists are weak, we need to send in us americans to fix sweden" lmaooo A person born into another culture can probably never "fulle embrace" swedish culture. But in terms of say, adopted people, not even european neo nazis really consistently think those people cannot be de facto ethnic danes due to *genes*.

Certainly normies don't think that lol.

Pan Europeanism is basically only an American thing, created by specific american conditions (whiteness as the operative category).

The Nordic Resistance Movement doesn't make claims further than Scandinavia, lol. Some people meme about this stuff and some on the legacy far right become expats. Comrade Daniel Friberg now lives in Poland, for example.

I guess I should address this as well. All jokes about naturals aside, the incredibly high time preference on display by everyone, including members of some sort of putative right wing "counter-elite" in America is just extremely depressing. Should you really be joking about this stuff, comrade Boose? Don't you remember the leadup to the Ukraine war, where Russia rotating half a dozen of brigades away from the border triggered similar jubilation that Putin had "backed down", that there would be no war?

it really is amazing how these NPCs seem to learn nothing from the repeated failures of the west in conflict after conflict. Afghanistan was a disaster. Ukraine is an even bigger disaster. But yes, this island province of 22 million will conquer the mainland thanks to America. US options at this point versus China seem to boil down to waging a long war of economic attrition, trying to choke off imports, or just randomly nuking cities out of frustration and then getting vaporized by chinese nukes in retaliation.

That's really it.

Alright, after a long hiatus it is time for another 🇸🇪 SWEDISH FOOD THREAD🇸🇪.

Today, we will be talking about the Big Cheese of north germanic cuisine: the venerable falukorv, the #1 type of sausage consumed in Sweden. The history of the falu sausage is interesting and goes back quite a ways. At the time when the copper mine at Falun was one of the world's largest (so during the early modern period), cattle and horse skins were in massive demand in order to make strong ropes.
