Do you remember what the old normal was?
30 years ago, Daniel Patrick Moynihan was already highlighting how far things had fallen.
Where are we now?
Listen now to "Defining Deviancy Down"
Gamer bros and dudes are willing to believe in orcs, trolls, wizards, talking trees, giant fucking owls but a black man in their fantasy? Shock horror!! Honestly, this is the perfect meme for them. Can imagine them seething in their parents basement 🤣🤣
Charlottesville’s Robert E. Lee statue has met its end, in a 2,250-degree furnace.
The divisive Confederate monument, the focus of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in 2017, was secretly melted down and will become a new piece of public art.
More on the process:…
The biggest DR/Sensible Centrist influencers on YouTube and Twitter are uniformly employed professionals with families
They see the regime coming for them because of who they are and want to stop it.
This is a terrible take.
nine times out of ten, when somebody says "the ruling class have destroyed everything! civilization is crumbling and everything sucks!!!", what's actually happening is that they're fucking failures who have destroyed their own lives and are looking for others to blame.
As of today, Canada’s new suicide crisis and emotional distress helpline is available across the country. If you need help or know someone who does, you can reach out to 9-8-8 by phone and text, in English and French, at any time of day and any day of the week.

Today, we talk about the most beloved terrorist in American history. In this video we cover everything from his life and campaign of terror, to his motives and legacy. Link below and happy Halloween!!! 🎃 ⬇️
Also, stick around to the VERY END of the video for a surprise ;)
The weight of science against the Out-of-Africa theory is overwhelming, forecasting a paradigm shift of the kind Kuhn described in "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions".
This necessitates the regime change its messaging about "we are all Africans."
As the talent diffused out after the initial success, the successes "regressed to the mean". Great leaps stopped happening, and technological managerialism couldn't make up for the loss of genius.

Now, we have safer and more reliable designs, but the regulatory regime, and citizen opinion no longer favours nuclear, and the moment has been squandered.
Only a leader with singular purpose can revive it now.
Let's be clear: Le funny memes aside, Milei is a fascist and populist who opposes abortion rights (including for rape) and sex education in schools, promotes COVID conspiracies & anti-vaxxerism, and wants to dismantle Argentine public science institutions.
It is possible to implement a series of laws in order to encourage the emigration of disfavoured groups.
Quebec is tightening that noose every day.
Surprise Bill 15 amendment would let Santé Québec deny right to offer English services
To achieve the Moon Landings, and the Manhattan Project, the West's top minds were put to singular tasks, with unlimited support.
They achieved the impossible, given the technology available at the time.

This is objectively true from measurement of tax contributions.
Remove women from the workplace and just give them the UBI value they were extracting from society anyways.
I actually have a take that is even more controversial than this. Not only is it the case that human societies would flourish and people would be happier if women aged 18-40 were banned from the full-time, paid workforce so they could raise children
It is furthermore the case
Raising 6 year olds involves controlling how they dress, what haircut they have, what they want to be called and even things like trying to control their mannerisms. It's parenting.
Not letting 6 year olds transition involves controlling how they dress, what haircut they have, what they want to be called and often even things like trying to control their mannerisms. It's disgusting
DNA results of Takabuti, the famous 2,600 year old ancient Egyptian mummy on display at the Ulster Museum, show that her DNA is more genetically similar to Europeans rather than modern Egyptian populations. DNA results Published in Nature Communications:

Misinformation experts are perhaps not quite unbiased

"anomalous precision" reminds me of how one of the suggested SI redefinitions of the kilogram in 2018 relied entirely on one german man making a perfect silicon sphere with his super hands
It all makes sens now what happened with Lauren Southern recently.
She's laundering her image into "angry mommy blogger" and distancing herself from the right.

I'm leaving Twitter, for the indefinite future. The reason is simple: this site is becoming more like Gab every day. It's a font of hatred, lies, and harassment. And while it's never been great, at least it had its uses. No longer. At least not for me. /1
"Sir, we've looked at the numbers. Douglas Murray and Oli London aren't convincing ordinary Brits to support our Gaza genocide!"

In 2022, Canada had immigration of 1M people on a population of ~40M, or 2.5% of the total population.
Meanwhile, the UK had immigration of 1.2M on a population of ~67.5M, or 1.7%
And the USA had 1.2M legal + 2.75M illegal on 330M, or 1.2%
This is directly observable in a myriad of ways
- drivers on the road are substantially worse
- customer service is abysmal
- trash on the street everywhere
- schools full of students who can't speak English
Canadian cities aren't Canadian anymore.
Given current trends, as of today about 7% of the Canadian resident population is now a "Non-Permanent Resident" -- their share of the population has more than tripled since 2016.
