A reminder that Ukraine gave up its Soviet-era nukes in the 90s in exchange for safety guarantees, including from Russia. Such betrayal. npr.org/2022/02/21/108…

Opinion: The Ottawa truck convoy has revealed the ugly side of freedom
Freedom, misconstrued as license to do and say whatever one wants, is dangerous and can serve as a cloak for actions that harm others

To be clear, implicit civil war is already here.
Think about how "Western Democracies" have handled actually peaceful protestors.
Australia microwave burned their own citizenry with next gen battlefield technology.
Canada trampled people on horseback, caused financial ruination, and the Ottawa police chief has vowed to "hunt down every person who donated".
PR is the only reason they didn’t just drone strike their own citizens.

⚔️ A brief comment on the Russian invasion of Ukraine
1. The last 24h have brought about a surprising turn of events. I expected Russia to take the disputed territories in the east, but I didn't expect a full-scale invasion like we've seen today. In fact, very few people seem to have expected an invasion on this level.
2. For a good summary of the conflict in general, check out this post by The Golden One. He mostly gets it right.
3. From the start in 2014, I have made a point of NOT taking sides in this conflict, because I have seen too many people in the West, who don't speak either Russian or Ukrainian and who have no real knowledge about the countries involved, make arrogant and embarrassing statements about the issue. And the conflict is far from clear cut from the point of view of our political interests. But when I see a large-scale invasion like this, my sympathies are naturally with the Ukrainian people rather than with any of the geopolitical players, because none of the geopolitical players are "our guys".
4. Overall, the Right in the West fails primarily because it lacks seriousness. Too often, it consists of kids (even old kids) making reckless and goofy comments and coming up with novel "takes". The comments on Russia in general, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict in particular, only prove this point.
5. People who get their political analysis from memes can never be taken seriously. And "based Putin" is just a meme. Just like "God Emperor Trump" was a meme. People who fail to understand that are political idiots.
6. Reckless comments about serious topics, an online culture of lazy nihilism, and bravely-anonymously taking sides at zero cost to yourself, in a conflict that you know nothing about, is all very LAST MAN. It's the effeminate behaviour of the modern man who only sees conflict in video games.
You should hold yourself to higher standards — otherwise you don't deserve to be taken seriously by either friend or enemy.

You may just see this as propaganda, but it’s also a strategy. If the enemy surrenders and you openly treat them with kindness and respect, the rest of them will be more open to the possibility of surrendering. The Islamic State did the opposite and they found resistance everywhere, no one would surrender to ISIS because they knew they would be tortured to death.

If Russia and China want to defeat the US (or the West in general) they don’t have to put a single troop on Western soil. All they have to do is influence certain demographics to increase racial tensions enough to provoke a civil war — this makes civil war in the West much more probable than WW3. Our diversity is their strength over us.

No matter where you stand on the conflict between Ukraine and Russia — I’m not on either side — I think this is the best, most accurate take I’ve seen anywhere regarding the conflict.

The dissident right is split yet again, this time because of the conflict in Ukraine. The Putin simp faction expects you to side with Russia and “based Putin,” but if you dare to question some of Putin’s policies, statements and connections, they attack you. The Putin simps cannot seem to fathom that anyone, especially a world leader, is not above fair criticism and a healthy amount of skepticism. The Putin simps constantly straw man us, but they can’t claim that we support Ukraine or NATO, because no one in the DR does, so why do they continue to attack us? Can’t we all be on the same team again and have a discussion? Unfortunately not, because this whole debate really boils down to “simp for BASED Putin, because my theoretical dogma says so” vs “maybe Putin is a questionable character, let’s see the evidence.” The Putin simp faction of the DR is basically a cult, one engaged in infighting against anyone in the DR that doesn’t adhere to its rigid theory based dogma, which in turn only agitates the other side into doubling down on its criticism of Putin, but at least that criticism/skepticism is still based on empirical evidence rather than dogma based on theory.

Ohio is actually more based than Russia and Ukraine combined, and I don’t need a political theory to prove it. The only thing that makes Ohio less based is obesity.
👆 it’s a joke guys, but there’s actually some truth to this if you really think about. Would you rather be a poor Slav living somewhere in EE in some communist bloc apartment complex? Most Slavs are poor and/or hopelessly urbanite. I’d rather live in Ohio, the rural parts especially, I prefer rural American culture. Life isn’t perfect anywhere, everywhere has its pros and cons. To me, Ohio has more pros than most European countries.

The idea that "you are what you eat" is not only fundamental to Capitalism, but also belongs to the "tabula rasa" concept of man which lies behind Transhumanism.
It is based on the notion that one can choose to be who they are, they can define themselves, can be deconstructed and rebuilt according to their own boundaries. One is like a 'paper doll' with a selection of cut-out clothes and accessories that attack with folding tabs, all ready to choose one's identity.
With the transhumanism agenda, the plasticity of man is exacerbated, everything becomes a mod-con. You can add technology to your flesh and upgrade yourself, your vaccine is a 'top up' subnoscription service related to your digital ID, and this becomes even worse under a Social Credit system where your upgrades (accessories for your paper doll) define not only your identity, but your status in society too.
The next step of course is the Metaverse, where one can buy digital property, you can shop for digital accessories for your customisable avatar, all from the convenience (and sustainability don't forget!) of the pod. This is now who we are — the avatar, the paper doll.

In a recent stream, Thomas Baden Riess made an interesting point about some people within the movement thinking that a majority of Americans are either obese, gun-toting gluttons on mobility scooters or just culturally superficial and nihilistic individuals as depicted by Hollywood films. The sad thing is, this hyper exaggerated caricature of America influences their entire worldview, leading them to pick sides in geopolitical issues. It seems ridiculous, but I’ve encountered too many people online that are like this, people that have constructed their entire worldview based on memes and movies, and then when they get into political theories and philosophy, they use their more academic knowledge merely to rationalize that previous worldview that was already constructed by memes and movies about America — movies that were made by you-know-whos. It would be no different then letting a caricature of Russians as just vodka swilling gopniks guide your beliefs about them as a nation and culture, and then using that to inform your political beliefs.
Most of the individuals really trashing American culture/people have never set foot in America, much less outside of its major cities to really understand that it isn’t entirely what you see in memes or the trending and curated videos on YouTube. Most of America is rural, White and fairly conservative; it’s just unfortunate that it’s defined by these urban centers and urban populations, which are not an accurate reflection of most of the actual country.
