The National Park Service is literally tearing down a statue of Pennsylvania’s founder on the site of his own home in order to be “more inclusive”.
There is only one appropriate response to the radical Cultural Marxists who have hijacked our institutions:

What if widespread consumption of music is directly responsible for a lack of motivation? Or even lower IQ? Just like marijuana or booze, it can’t be healthy to over enjoy intense audio stimulation daily or even hourly.
@SpiritofPines
Isn’t it comforting that the children of elite families aren’t superior at all? So our descendants will get their chance to take over and avoid Woke silliness🥳
Did the background ticking of mechanical clocks impress a helpful concept of time on young minds or past generations? And did the disappearance of such audio cues trigger a lowering of drive and ambition?
My occult mentor always claimed that dissolving clouds were among the easiest paranormal skills & often a basic training exercise for new magicians. So maybe this isn’t (all) about the orgonite?

Sandboxes are the ultimate psychological self-test: Did school manage to snuff out your natural creativity? Or do you need sticks & carrots to trigger any kind of action like a robo-zombie?
@RichardHanania
The AfD has basically two significant selling points: Poor people don’t want unchecked *mass* immigration. (This isn’t restricted to ethnically Teutonic Germans.) And the second: The AfD appears to be among the few parties opposing anti-Industrial “Woke-Green” idealism.
Certain Westerners spend decades on “meditation” just to switch off their inner monologue. It’s probably a mostly genetically determined trait. Just like the length of your nose and the colour of your skin. (Do different populations have different IMs,

Strangely enough, the German administration in Samoa allegedly treated the locals quite nicely and even tried, within their Prussian cultural mindset, their best to make life pleasant for everyone living there. Very different from other Teutonic colonial endeavours.
Liberal Buddhists don't want to accept this truth, but the historical Buddha was very probably a proto-

. No joke. Just read early texts like the Dhammapada. Filled to the brim with warrior metaphors, war elephants, mass murder, athleticism and joyful violence.
@Paracelsus1092
If these things aren’t mentioned in classical literature, we might assume that they were used in everyday mundane tasks, no? Just like women and lower classes in general weren’t the focus of elite historians.
@nomanautomata
That’s why IQ is an abstract lab factor. Only tells us what a kid can do alone in a sheltered classroom environment. Not how this translates to activities.

Didn’t the Soviets just spread stories about Hitler having escaped to confuse the West and waste American & British intelligence resources?

@lporiginalg
It’s darkly funny how the end result of forcing Germany to pay reparations (instead of just swiping some stuff & then forgetting about the last war) is Allies falling into their own moral trap.

She was Jewish and only visited Germany a few times. Not sure why Anglo media deny her being Israeli. Not very respectful, IMO. (Her dad was born Jewish & her mother converted to Judaism.)

Chinese astrology has the concept of a “tiger” person: Important and literal heroes in times of war, but very likely to become thugs and criminals in periods of peace.
@Peter_Nimitz
Bonus: Old people used to take care of their grandkids. But, at least in Germany, many "Boomer" pensioners started to reject this social tradition & refused their duty. A major factor in the decline of fertility, IMHO.
1798 Revolt of Cairo: Bonaparte personally hunted down rebels from street to street and forced them to seek refuge in the Al-Azhar Mosque. Bonaparte said that "God is too late – you've begun, now I will finish!". He then immediately ordered his cannon to open fire on the Mosque.

Many, many Asian students just do that with Mandarin or Japanese. Due to the different writing systems, translations can’t be literal & even a complete intellectual theft would be arguably impossible to prove.

He could claim Black heritage & insist that it was a self-deprecating joke b/c he thought the girl was making borderline denigrating comments on people.
Growing up, I was convinced for years that Germany had become part of the US of A after WWII. Most entertainment came from the States and English started to replace German in my social circle. Quite a shock to realise that I couldn’t join the US military or vote for POTUS, etc.
19 year old son of former CEO of Google dead from fentanyl overdose.
At freshman year of UC Berkeley.
No he probably didn’t take a fentanyl pill, no he probably wasn’t a junky, he probably did what many of us have all done in our lives.
Experiment with drugs.
For him though,…

Jesuits (or at least some chapters) have borderline magical methods for learning & memorising all kinds of subjects. Napoleon and other secular rulers tried to swipe them, but couldn't decode the Ars Notoria.

Chinese culture died in 1911 and the serious remnants were smashed, killed and burned by Red Guards in the 1960s. These days, not even Taiwanese want to be Chinese anymore.

You have a point. In my line of work, just one deal per week is enough to get a comfy commission. So maybe I’m just positively biased.

Ebenfalls für Krankenkassen. Wer als einheimischer Selbstständiger die Beiträge nicht zahlen kann, fällt eventuell fast völlig aus dem Netz. Für Flüchtlinge zahlt aber das Amt & selbst die besseren Kassen nehmen diese Leute mit Kusshand.
Actual Turks in Germany are mostly of the diligent labourer, car mechanic and office worker type. Crime clans often claim to be Turkish to hide, but are actually some weird minority group with heretical non-Mainstream Sunni beliefs.
@Xongkuro
"Our culture"? Your civilization ended in 1911 and the last remnants on the Mainland were smashed & burned by Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution. China today is a great nation -- albeit a thoroughly Western one.
@TheChurchInAsia
Reminds me of a heart-warming fact: Japanese Catholics were among the first to reach out to Korean Christians and both sides started the process of reconciliation after 1945.
Then again: The disciplined person also lacks all the uplifting memories of irresponsible socialising, travel and romance. So you might be rich and can retire at 45, but your decades have been bleak.
@Indian_Bronson
Then again: Being an expert often requires the sacrifice of even the most basic insights and experiences in other fields. That's why academic often appear childish.
@Paracelsus1092
Scepticism didn’t & doesn’t necessarily translate into active rejection of religious traditions, though. Even anti-clerical Revolutionary/Napoleonic French soldiers asked for their children to be baptised, if I remember some historical accounts correctly.
@realsteelmuslim
Literally a Danish ship under a Singaporean flag. And the ship pilots were locals, no? So if anyone is responsible, it’s the local authority in charge.
@Linahuaa
You can’t be serious, eh? The CCP, Taiwan Independence, other regional and ethnic separatist movements, corruption of Red cadre families & their involvement in crimes, e.g. during the Cultural Revolution, New Qing History, etc.
You might not have seen it before, but this is the world's 4th tallest building.
It's the Makkah Clock Royal Tower, built ten years ago in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
And it's not the only megastructure you probably haven't heard of...
@ElegantiaeArbit
Muslim Arab fighters like Saladin were respected for their chivalry, especially towards women and children, though. Kaiser Wilhelm II personally paid for the renovation of Saladin's tomb and paid respect to this embodiment of martial virtues. Sad to see Palestians don't care..
All occultists, witches and mystics I’ve personally met and interviewed had rather unhappy lives & couldn’t show any convincing proof of their paranormal powers. Also no special skills or knowledge, e.g. language abilities. Still open to the possibility, but — very probably not.
@whatifalthist
The strange is thing: Jews only became successful after the Enlightenment Period. Nothing indicates special interest in science or discoveries in the Biblical Books. It was an Anglo, Newton, who interpreted Divine Laws as meaning Natural Laws.
If given the choice, women will not, on average, have 2.1 babies. They may say otherwise, but that's their revealed preference. It doesn't matter how much you incentivize it. The carrot doesn't work. The societies with above replacement fertility are those that pressure women.

Most homeless folks seem to have drug problems or psychological issues. Forcing them into a clean, healthy environment would do them good. But it’s unsettling if the state can just boss people around…

Abba Gorgoryos (Ge'ez: አባ ጎርጎርዮስ; 1595 – 1658) was an Ethiopian priest and lexicographer of noble origin who lived and worked in Gotha (Germany) from 1652 – 1658.
Nietzsche’s sister and her husband founded a new colony called “Nueva Germania” in Paraguay. Didn’t work out and her spouse, in a fit of unmanly desperation, killed himself over the shame.
Money can definitely buy you happiness. People deny this only b/c they literally don’t experience the problems that poor people have & thus don’t understand their comparatively better situation. Horrors avoided are invisible, after all.
@lndian_Bronson
These days, everyone is copying the US and tries to find proper "indigenous" and "oppressed" groups. Just like Taiwan is not fetishizing their aboriginals.
@EricRichards22
Well, lack of consistency, I’d say. You guys have a weird habit of being ruthless today, soft tomorrow and then realist the day after that. WWII battles included. Nobody knows what’s your red line.

Problem children have a history. Sadly, most support institutions and state orgs in Germany don't get much funding. & most parents can't fall back on trad help like church or family communities. Similar in Japan where many "hikikomori" (shut-ins) become violent in the end.
Cologne main station is rather ugly, but this asymmetrical passageway has a quasi-anthroposophical charme. Looks like a detail straight out of Waldorf school architecture.
Some acquaintances of my former occult mentor once tried to summon the Führer’s ghost. Abruptly, the electric light extinguished, and when it flickered back to life minutes later, the group’s master of ceremonies lay lifeless on the floor. An SS dagger embedded in his back.
Japanese cellphones back in 2000 had the functionalities of early iPhones. I never understood why their comps didn’t export and curb stomp the competition back then. Complete business failure, no?
Due to anonymous Twitter X banter, all of us now have better psychological source material from the depths of human consciousness than Dostoevsky, Freud and Jung combined. What are you doing with these raw resources?
Weirdest thing about this app is you learn the thoughts and deep seated beliefs of strangers on a level which irl you’d only learn from acquaintances well after they’d become friends. And even then, unless they’re super close, only after you’d both had two too many drinks.
