I don’t know who that lady was but she sees the same stuff on the woke right. I was pretty ignorant of Fuentes until a few months ago when I took a short dive into him and then read a bit of James Lindsay explaining the woke right concept. It clicked nearly instantly for me after learning so much about the woke left over the last decade or so. I’m also fresh off of a deep dive into a couple thousand pages of academic literature about national socialism.
I used to be a Crenshaw fan but his newfound wealth in public service along with some of his votes made me realize he’s now a swamp creature. He’s not the worst in congress by any means, but it sure makes you wonder how he got so rich so fast on a modest salary.
Lewiston is starting to get more national attention due to the brazen corruption that is getting too weird to ignore. Here’s a reporter asking if Iman Osman plans to resign after his indictment on stolen gun charges after winning a council seat while campaigning from a condemned meth house. He says about as much as he does during school committee meetings, which the mayor appointed him to after the meth bust.
He’s listed as 140 lbs and white on the indictment. I asked around and there aren’t any 140lb white guys named Iman Osman in Maine, so who knows how or why that happened.
Glenn Greenwald had an interesting take on Nick Fuentes. I like Glenn, and I listen to him because he is factual and objective; his takes are his honest opinions, not clickbait driven.
I think his take on Fuentes is valid, but what Glenn doesn’t account for is the money making grifting part, which is way too prevalent today in the views for $$$ age of the interwebz.
(Youse can look up Greenwald’s take if you’re actually interested.)
Marco Rubio’s wife is still pretty darn hot at age 52; googled her and she’s an ex Miami Dolphins cheerleader…of course she was lol.
Although I like Vance a lot, the facts are that Rubio has a much longer track record, and experience. Especially right now where being SecState is, IMO, more important than being the VP. I hope that if polling in 2028 shows that Rubio would have a better chance of winning the Presidency, Vance would be able to step aside and continue as VP, unusual though that might be. (although that’s exactly what happened with Biden and Hillary in 2016, unsuccessfully!!! thank all the deities)
The problem is that the younger generation leans in to the leftist ideology. Some of the social aspects are fading but not economic, which is arguably more important. They want things like universal income, forgiven college loans, socialized healthcare etc.
The party aligned with this is the democrats, and economic pressure will weigh more heavily than social concerns, so they will win.
Trump is an anomaly ruling via executive order. We have a temporary reprieve from what we see forming in the EU, but that’s all it is.
In my opinion the issue we have is that somewhere along the way melting pot turned in to an amalgam of ideology. We aren’t a unit like European societies of old, but a collective essentially bound by economic policy and a uniform tax code.
There are no troops to rally at this point, just separate cultures on a shared continent. The American nationalist ship has sailed, and the best we can do now is encapsulate current state with a sense of civic nationalism, which will still only slow the end.
I really think we are also missing a collective morality that was dissolved 50 years ago as it hasn’t been reinforced in subsequent generations. Relativism is the prevailing ideology among natives.
100%, but how do you get it back? Those 50 years have done a lot.
Once Trump is out and executive orders are reversed, which will happen, the NGOs and Soroses of the world will ramp right back up.
There are some movements occurring, like TPUSA, but it won’t be hard to suppress and overwhelm again. The playbook already exists with 50 years of proof.
I don’t like it, but it is the most practical reality.
Policy wise. 10 year freeze on all immigration (it’s been done before in the US and for longer). 0 legal immigration and 0 student or worker visas for 10 years. “Oh but the colleges will be mad! The farm workers! The tech industry!” (If we free slaves who will pick the cotton?) We reassess after a decade. I’m well aware of the initial hardship and price increases in certain areas this will affect. We have to decide what we want.
I think having a solid industrial/production base to build from is essential.
It was a lot easier to be pro-America/USA when the nation was prosperous and productive.
I’ve noticed currently that the union guys who are getting paid well are really enthusiastic, and the people kinda smothered in education debt with uncertain futures are pissed & bitter.
That might go without saying until you look at the overall satisfaction with the contemporary American experience overlayed with what works, or has in the past, and what has happened in the last 40 years with deindustrialiization and the tech revolution.
A lot of people are right (tech is the future!) And a lot are unhappy.
Its no longer about the greater good though. Its about being fast/smart/awesome and making “6 figures”.
