Turn Away

Chill Politics

The left really dug their own graves with the absurd overreach of the trans movement, and calling anyone who believed that biological sex is real and very nearly perfectly binary1 a “hard right Nazi bigot.”

That turned millions of people away from them, as it should have.

  1. Which is by far the scientific consensus, by the way.

Two Bads Don’t Make

Chill Political Economy, Politics

The job market is atrocious now and inflation is rising. That’s going to have some consequences politically and socially.

Legal Hate

Chill Politics

Whatever your politics or the politics of the original poster, an objective fucking fact is that no one despises illegal immigrants more than those who got here the hard way by following the law. Trust me on this: no one.

Another thing clownish liberals are completely delusional about.

Overwhelm

Chill Political Economy, Politics

I don’t think Europe or really anyone else has an answer for their societies being invaded and overwhelmed by third world immigration waves (largely Islamic) with values averse to Western culture.

This will destroy the societies they invade, of course. And I think Western civilization is worth saving. Both for selfish reasons and because it’s a damn sight better than scrabbling around in the dirt with sticks that Islamic culture will lead to for the foreseeable future if allowed to fester.

Fascism doesn’t work but liberalism also does not work. It invites the infection in. So…what now?

Move Right

Chill Clowns, Politics

I don’t agree with a lot of contentions in this post. For instance, January 6 was definitely a coup attempt but the right will never admit anything but the absurd idea that it was some kind of rowdy capitol tour group (which is fucking hilarious, if you think about it ).

However, I agree with what the consequences will be: these events combined with liberal inaction on crime and disorder in large urban areas will move people to the right. In general, the worst-run, most crazy-people-ridden cities are all blue ones. Everyone knows this, though some lie about it. Hell, in our very blue city there are hundreds of ranting roving drifters who are unpredictable and unpleasant to be around even if they aren’t committing any actual crimes at the moment. Commerce and community would go way up if these vagrants weren’t around.

People are tired of it. And they rightly blame liberals for a lot of it. As they should.

We’ll see what it brings, but I doubt it’ll be better. Both sides are full of bullshit, alas.

Certainly

Chill Political Economy, Politics, Prediction

FYI an uncertain economy is even worse for investment and future growth than a merely bad economy.

A bad economy is predictable. Uncertainty, however, is economic death. And Trump is overloading us with uncertainty. In fact, providing nothing but. This will result in very bad things. Already is, really, but unless an actual nuclear attack or tsunami hits economic headwinds generally take 6-9 months to have much noticeable effect.

We’re in the winds now. Storm is coming; depression is on the way. Just give it time.

Eurnope

Europe has even more potentially society-ending challenges ahead than the United States, despite the creeping anti-science authoritarianism here at home. Among them:

1) Demographic crisis. Shared with the rest of the world, of course. And no, immigration won’t solve it. Their more-generous social safety net is going to need some re-vamping that will cause massive social unrest.

2) Islamization. Once a society becomes ~10% Muslim, it’s enough to throw it into chaos and often dissolve the existing culture. Many EU countries are getting close to this threshold or have exceeded it. And no matter what idiot feminists think, this will be very, very bad for women there.

3) Russia. It’ll be invading soon. Europe is not even close to any kind of ready.

4) Immigration of unattached economic anti-western migrant men. Even apart from Islamization, this is a huge issue and will be getting much worse.

5) AMOC collapse. This will make a lot of Europe a whole lot colder on average while having minimal effect on the US.

The US and China are best-positioned to endure and even prosper here. That is, assuming we in the US don’t strangle ourselves to death, which we are merrily on the way to doing by killing science, research and clean energy.

But Europe is pretty much fucked no matter what.

Fund

Chill Annoying, Clowns, Politics

It’s also similar to the left’s assertion that if we could just not send those evil and bad rockets to evil bad and scary space, we’d be able to fund everything.

Wahwah

Chill Annoying, Politics

I also hold no opinion on Hillary Clinton’s past or present hotness, but I very much agree that the turn to anti-sex prudishness did some harm to the Dems — though it does comport directionally with Gen Z and their weird schoolmarmishness.

Religiosity

Chill Annoying, Politics

And the funny thing is the pro-immigration and anti-immigration people largely agree on this! That is, even the pro-immigrant side sees immigrants as punishment for alleged past Western sins.

Not very healthy on either side.
