For the upcoming "Victory Day" parade on 9 May in Moscow, Nork troops will be marching alongside Russians on the Red Square for the first time in history, according to NHK. Discussions are also underway to possibly involve a North Korean military band for the parade, as well as other ceremonial events in the country.

Is this what the westeners mean when they talk about Russia being such a trad country fighting for white values?

A step in the right direction! It still has to pass the house and Trump has to sign off on it.

The real “Bix Nood”

An establishment approved Jewish reactionary getting a favorable interview on a mainstream platform. It’s almost as if the whole NRx thing was nothing more than a kosher psyop to get conservatives on board with a kosher oligarchy.

From what I know, the whole Neo-Reactionary movement is basically Peter Thiel’s project, he funded Curtis Yarvin to sell a new form of government that would be controlled by technocrats, with a top technocrat as a “monarch” but ruling the country like a CEO running a private company. In practice, this would mean the USA being run like an Amazon warehouse.

Good Morning Folks!!!

I’m not convinced that most of the Americans that voted for Trump in the last election are actual MAGAtards, I think they simply voted for the Republican candidate because they’re sick of how the Democrats have been running everything into the ground with bad policies, which is understandable. Most people here aren’t aware of what a crooked liar Trump is, because it’s not as obvious as how retarded the Democrats are.

People need to remember that, unfortunately, the United States’ entire political environment is dominated by a two party system: if you’re sick of team blue, the only viable choice is team red.

Many people, even a few I respect, have this notion that everyone in the US that voted for Trump is a die hard Trump supporter. It’s just not true at all. And very few of them knew much about either candidate beyond the news headlines. They just know that 4 years of Democrat administration under Biden/Kamala didn’t make life in the USA any better. It really is that simple folks.

Most Americans are normies, normies with only two viable options at the ballot box: Democrats or Republicans for the next 4 years. This is one of the obvious reasons why the USA is not a democracy by any stretch of the imagination.

Many in this movement want to denigrate normie Americans for voting for Trump, but it shows that they have a short memory, or that perhaps they weren’t around this movement just 9 years ago, when not being pro-Trump made you an absolute pariah in the Alt-Right (the former iteration/label of this movement). Even all the pro-White Europeans would have questioned your sanity if you had not voted for Trump in 2016. This movement was fantastically pro-Trump just 9 years ago.

I am not pro-Trump at all, I just don’t like seeing this movement denigrating Americans, especially for something it fervently supported just 9 years ago.

The reason why normies are such a huge problem for this movement is because we’ve placed so much more emphasis on philosophy/ideology at the expense of psychology: this movement doesn’t care about influencing normies.

This movement hating normies is like incels hating women, it’s totally the same dynamic. There’s little effort made to understand and speak to normies. They aren’t open to vitriolic schizo rants the way we are.

Just like with women, you have to understand normies to talk to them.
