When an American billionaire offers money to people from relatively poor countries (Serbian average monthly salary $1,329) for riling up and radicalising Americans, it's not surprising that they'll take up the offer

Tech-abstinence is the next big status symbol. Sustained focus without the need to check your phone. Immunity to brainrot. Total detachment from the algorithmic overlords. Most people are already too far gone.
i’m so fascinated by men like this he read “the brutality of modernity” on a 10 hr flight with the map on the whole time

Twitter makes user locations public. Users immediately discover many high-traffic MAGA accounts are astroturfing offshore accounts located in the Third World pretending to be American. Twitter turns off the feature within hours. Interesting.

My biggest concern with any immigrant group isn’t their level of talent but rather how they will treat the commons. Are they going to defect constantly, loot and con and exploit loopholes? Or will they keep their word even when no one is watching? It’s not possible to test for

I booked marked this post to check once the country was visible because I was 100% certain it would be somewhere in the 3rd world. Turns out the discussions around an evil United States are in fact, just thousands of third worlders upset at their own heritage.
Who created WWI? Not Muslims. Who created WWII? Not Muslims. Who dropped 2 nukes on Japan? Not Muslims. Who killed millions in Iraq? Not Muslims. Who killed millions in Afghanistan? Not Muslims. Who killed millions in Vietnam? Not Muslims.

The “locations: on” experiment shows how people would act under true free market conditions: they will immediately act as a spontaneous collective to identify and expel every single troublemaking foreigner, alien, and outsider w/ zero hesitation.

this is so simple. trump recognizes game, especially the kind he invented. if you can win in the arena he thinks he owns, he’ll treat you like a peer instantly. this is the entire trump cosmology… W’s as the only real credential, everything else as ornamental noise.

“Iroquois” is not found in Gordon Wood’s “Creation of the American Republic” or in The Federalist Papers. That Ben Franklin, who didn’t write the Constitution, wrote a few lines of admiration, means next to nothing.

Trump is spiritually Arab. Loyalty politics. No particular ideology. Gold everything. Big money. Many wives.
Trump is legitimately a classy white boy Orientalist like T. E. Lawrence. You can tell that he enjoys parlaying and concluding agreements with exotic Muslim representatives from the East. Love it.

Again, just to remind you that it’s fine to oppose immigration. There’s nothing disgusting about it. It’s a totally ordinary, sane, acceptable political preference. Supporters of immigration confuse a banal preference for the moral high ground.
Disgusting. Not a single word about "illegal" migration. They are anti-immigration. Period. Legal or illegal. They want to lock everyone in their country and throw away the keys. Berlin walls on every border. Justified by a cascade of lies about immigrants in this thread.

So you’re saying - Autism diagnoses are way up, nobody knows why - Parents get $1500 per month in free govt Medicare handouts with an autism diagnosis - A whole industry springs up to diagnose autism. Costs to taxpayers rise $400m/yr in Minnesota ALONE, largely from Somali

This is the difference, right here. Both Republicans and Democrats love (or hate) an idea of what America is. But for too many Democrats, that idea is conditional -- events in the news can change their basic beliefs about what America truly "is".
@Noahpinion @CameronCorduroy I think that, for non-MAGA people, it turned out that the country wasn't what we thought it was. But for them, they were right. I mean, I do love America, but... more the version in my head than the one on the ground, and maybe with different people.

I've read around 50 books about Trump. He has a predictable psychology. Learn it and there are almost never surprises. Mamdani fits the mold of what appeals to Trump across multiple metrics. Trump was always going to like Mamdani at the start, as I've been saying for weeks.

I should actually clarify this statement: Leftists have NO actual principles. The reason they embrace anything that's anti-America is because they want to bully America into giving them more status and power.
Leftists have only one actual principle and it's to hate America. Anything that seems like it opposes America -- China, Islamism, a giant asteroid -- is automatically good.

From the day one all Democrats had to do was kiss Trump's ass and he would give them anything they ever wanted. Instead they just went along with their fever swamped online lunatic base by calling him Hitler. One of the most incredible political miscalculations I've ever seen.
