The point was just that violence > everything. You were ruled by professional violence orchestrators.

Art is a store of wealth, it's easy for them to collect (ex: Goring), and you need prestige to legitimize rule. It's PR to say you aren't a primitive warlord. Violence is more powerful than commerce, farming, everything. The Aristocracy is a confusing concept to people born after the french revolution, especially Americans.

You know in primitive but organized agricultural societies, it's ruled by basically a general? That's it.

I'm not sure this is exactly correct but I get the impression that the Afrikaners are the chuds of South Africa that get blamed for everything, take all the heat, meanwhile getting shit on by everyone INCLUDING the anglo white population Black guy dies at a mine owned by an Anglo white finance guy in Capetown

Everyone looks at Afrikaner farmer guy: "Why did you do this?"

if Cindy Crawford or Jennifer Conelly were starting their career today they'd be relegated to dressing up like video game and comic characters for anime conventions instead of starring in films or modeling for calvin klein If men find you attractive, sorry but you were given a raw deal by nature, just give up acting or modeling and buy sexy halloween mario brothers costumes right now

So many great things in this short video.

My favorite is the implied difference in the game back then: the guy tells him "Watch yourself, Terry." Because back then a good primary strategy was to cripple the quarterback lol. -3 on the tree
-mustard yellow one of those great 70s colors never coming back like puke green
-there is no way that truck even has air conditioning
-italy flag on the guys helmet. He's probably in some mobbed up union lol

Listening to a podcast on feudal Japan and the narrator keeps explicitly separating two groups as distinct things: The Aristocracy and “Military Elites.”

He doesn’t explain this. If you’re speaking English understand these words mean exactly the same thing in feudal Europe If the emperor is not a guy with the ability to orchestrate mass violence, like oh that’s someone else’s thing?

That makes NO sense in Euro perspective so don’t skip over that. If that’s the shoguns job then the shogun is emperor and emperor is like the pope to us

-1st turn advantage too high
-with no randomization it leads to memorization being too strong
-pro chess won't survive after people realize there's no real way to stop cheating without methods too expensive for a competition that makes little money

Brood War > Chess A nice chess set looks good on a table, though.

This is political nonsense. You could just say “Republicans buy podcasts too” and keep the rest of this to yourself, but you were a journalist, so let’s take a look at this blather 🧵 So Trump is not the moral paragon you are. I’m glad my attorney isn’t either.

For you, a politician should put more stock in shitty books they were read in college above delivering for their essential coalition. Good luck with that. Ask Jim Clyburn if that’s how he governs.

None of this is true, and the only reason people can get away with saying it is that he was shot.

1. Civil war- Despite having way more manpower and the factories, the war dragged on far too long. He picked bad generals for a long time because it made his political life easier. 2. Commitment to abolishing slavery- this didn't exist until Dred Scott. As an attorney he happily defended slaveowners and hardly ever any free blacks. There's a letter here and there but zero commitment until it became obvious it could save his failing political career.

People think im joking when I say moviebob is the true innovator of left wing political thought in the internet era. Every wild take today is something he said 10 years ago and was shunned by his fellow leftists for saying. Here’s a great example. Something RWers have noticed is the “marvel-brain” thing among the left. Movies and characters in it are treated as real, especially when it comes to moral examples and standards. Yeah, he did that before the marvel reboot. Image

I need to post that "Rig Rundown" with the steroids guy from the Misfits

He explains to interviewer he has NO idea how to play guitar or music except where to put his fingers and when to play Misfits songs. He can not and has no desire to do anything else with the instrument. Image He's full of these Noel Gallegher moments too.

"Glenn Danzig hired me to be the new guitarist for the misfits. He told me to get a guitar. I didn't know where to get one so we made one at the construction site I worked at with the band saw."

Behringer synthesizers is doing something I have only seen done once before. They've gone from "cheap chinese crap" to empowering a real expert and been doing just absurdly accurate recreations of vintage synths that cost like 6 figures.

But who has done this before? Image

Mad Catz. Horrible name, worse product. They made the cheapest garbage controllers in video game history. They broke the second you looked at them.

Your mom bought this with the system because it was so cheap and the system only came with one. Image

If you're anglo-🇺🇸 (✋) this is all foreign to us. But we have to learn fast. And yes like 2 people have attempted it since Andy Jackson.

Politician: I'm going to tax the public and give it to my ethnic group or patronage network.

Anglos: "Is he a Keynsian? I dont get it" Anglos don't like this kind of politics, it might not exist if everyone was anglo in anglotown but you can't behave like that in competition with others who play to win. It's like walking into artillery fire with a rapier

If you are American, and you go to church, you have no idea how many people are full time employed just to peel off a few trump votes from your SBC or Catholic church rn

It's obvious that team DNC thinks team Trump is well placed to pull in alot of church votes in '24

Where did this come from? Rachel Held Evans. She's in hell now. They're all funded to scale up her bit.

She pioneered this form of activism, basically none of the other people doing this would actually copy the looks of evangelical. She did that and was wildly successful

2023 Toyota Land Cruiser "Series 70", as available internationally. $41,000 US Dollars, brand new.

It is unavailable for sale in the US because of safety and emissions regulations. Think about this whenever you see democrats post about American trucks being too big. We didn't want those.

Liberals made them that way. They regulated our vehicles into being gigantic, expensive marshmellows. They're just lying about pedestrian safety, they just hate cars.

You can't understand why videogames aren't the same kind of thing that they were without a tube television and real hardware (a real nes/snes). Aka, if you just use emulation, you won't get it. This is because your TV is fucked in the same ways that your ps5 is. When you turn it on you get ads. It wants your credit card number. Every button you push lags as every command you could enter is being processed by hundreds of computers, including online in chaiwan

More D&D cultural bans for “inclusion.” Words and concepts like barbarian, savage, fat, insanity, and more.

Its very difficult to see how Tolkien/European inspired fantasy can survive without “bioessentialism,” which is being banned in stages.

There are 2 actual threats to Harvard prestige:

1- it still sees the ideal student and graduate as someone that does full time "activism" and social media political propaganda. Even the law school. Anyone can do that. Maybe AI can do it better. It's a waste of advantages it has 2- Replacing all the super competent white guys with various high GPA minority women and gay black men.

They are a precious commodity anyways to companies that need them so they can say X dept is ran by a minority. Housing them there for 4 years is a tree falling in the woods

The most important thing about writing laws in post-civil rights America is that you can basically ignore any law that says something is illegal and punishable by cops/the state. The whole Soros DA thing is just one of 100,000,000 ways to nullify these laws. [1/5] What you have to do is write a law that works like the ADA. The ADA was not intended to be backed by badges and billy clubs- it was intended to be enforced by civil court CASH MONEY payouts. This exciting innovation is the only way real American laws work now. Use it or die

Left: Hitler's childhood home
Right: Göring's childhood home/castle ImageImage Hermann Göring doesn't make much sense at cursory glance of ww2 to an American, I think because he had gotten fat and was an opiate addict at that time. As an ideal aristocrat and war hero (commanding the Red Baron's wing after his death), he added that quality to top Nazi brass. Image

The civil rights act is defended as if it only means "you can't be fired for frivolous reasons."

But the OG text was taken into overdrive over the following years by judicial rulings

For example, people would be outraged by Disparate Impact if they knew it existed. [1/4] I welcome any neutral observe to ask themselves if american politics, especially in the cities, is dominated by racial patronage schemes (that cannot be challenged without violating the Civil Rights Act)
