If true, this is proof positive that people are fools. I like Ibsen's take: "The minority is sometimes right, and the majority is always wrong." Even if Ibsen was exaggerating for effect, it was a very, very small exaggeration.

What is repugnant to me is, as far as I can tell, not binding on a spider, tick, or scorpion. Nature, as the poet noted, is often "red in tooth and claw," but we need not be so, at least not gratuitously (as in "I like the taste"), and at least not to innocents.

The bastards who demand that we be silenced as they replace us in our own homelands, and the parasitic functionaries who do their bidding for paychecks and pensions, do not deserve their filthy fiat wealth, nor their stinking paychecks, nor anything they ever bought with them . They should be regarded as outlaws in the original sense of that term -- that is, they should no longer have any legal protection whatsoever, and whatever happens to them is just.

The idea that it's just fine and dandy to kill a sentient, feeling, conscious being because you "like the taste" is repugnant to me.

Ride the wave, or don't ride the wave. The wave doesn't care.

There does seem to be something in the European psyche that tends toward division when entities get "too large." Look at the map of the Earth: Many, many giant states, but when you get to that European peninsula, so many countries smaller than a mid-size American state. I think this same tendency can also be seen in the difficulty of organizing Whites in their own racial self-defense. It is probably also related to the same mindset that makes White geniuses, much more than even equally brilliant geniuses of other races, willing to say to established authorities, "I don't care who you are or how many titles or degrees you possess, you are all wrong and I am right!" (Almost unthinkable in the Orient, for example.) Thus has science and technology and knowledge advanced. But it also makes it very hard for us to unite.

The emperors of Rome and their courtiers thought they could import Gothic and German mercenaries to defend themselves against other Goths and Germans, while they continued whoring and feasting and partying. It worked... for a while.

True indeed. I thought from a young age that, just on the face of it, it couldn't possibly to be good for you to purposely inhale smoke. I also felt the same way about drinking a solvent so strong it can be used as a disinfectant -- that can't possibly be healthy. And I had the same feeling about eating corpses. The first two things I haven't done since 1956, when I was born. The last I haven't done since 1976.

The air in New York City.

And who wants democracy anyway? Those who are good at manipulating fools, that's who.

Just yesterday I personally experienced peak American overpopulation and decay. I drove for business reasons from my home in semi-rural and overwhelmingly White western Pennsylvania to Flushing, Queens, in New York City, and back.

It took 14 hours and was, at least in its eastern half, not pleasant -- endless traffic totally packing 8-lane "freeways," ground to a halt again and again and again, insane risk-taking drivers, filth and trash and beggars all over the place, fantastically massive, ugly, and inhuman architecture, decaying remains of the beautiful architecture of the Old America, fences and barriers everywhere blocking your views and psychologically grinding you down, surveillance cameras by the thousands, relentless ads for things no one needs and for lawyers (half the billboards seem to be plugging lawyers with Semitic-sounding names). And only a minority of the people seen were of America's founding stock (and how many of these were biological hybrids/mimics is anyone's guess).

(The trip underscored the fact that the value of the so-called "dollar" has fallen precipitously, especially there in the capital of money-creation: It costs $17.61 to cross one bridge, one way, one time in NYC, and another bridge was $11.50 one way. If you had to cross both bridges twice every work day, that would be over $57 a day, over $1,000/month just for bridge tolls! The toll booths are abandoned and falling apart; they photograph your license plates and send you a bill (with the threat of "registration suspension" if you don't pay) if you are so retrograde as to not have an "EZPass" spying device in your car which will auto-deduct the amount from your bank usury card.)

Needless to say, the air was nearly unbreathable.

O beautiful for spacious skies!

Beautiful. In our sunroom, we have a 1940 Westclox Baby Ben table clock that still functions perfectly. Bought it at a yard sale in my Rust Belt city for one Federal Reserve Trading Stamp.

I once asked ChatGPT why the philosopher Voltaire kept a pet spider. It gave me a rather elaborate response, with several detailed reasons why Voltaire kept a spider for a pet. Funny thing, though: I made the whole thing up. There never was any such spider.

I like Alfred North Whitehead's take: "The silly question is the first intimation of some totally new development."

Around fifteen seconds after the ADL complained about me being on X, Musk's team deep-sixed my account. The ADL was specifically whining about me mentioning my church.

Another new X development: Starting recently, many of the best comments on X are hidden behind an always-reappearing "show suspected spam" link that only uncovers a very few of the "un-mutual" comments at a time (none of which are spam by any definition). So, good luck on that ever more centralized platform!

Another ridiculous thing that conservatives say: "Obama has the real power in this administration" or "Obama is behind the assassination attempt," etc. Obama (who would be more appropriately named Fetchit) had and has about as much power over the US government as Vanna White has over NBC.

Many are alarmed at the alien prayers offered up the Republican convention. But think more deeply. There will come a moment when you realize that our civilization has been Middle-Easternized for more than 1,600 years -- from the moment the new overlords started knocking down our temples and burning our star-maps and works of philosophy and science. And soon enough the moment also comes when you recognize that, had the Abrahamic virus not infected us, we might have discovered America in 492 instead of 1492, set foot on the Moon in 969 instead of 1969, and reached heights we can only dream of today.

The topic of "rigged elections" is creeping back into people's comments these days. The underlying false assumptions most of these good folks share are that un-rigged elections 1) are a wise and moral way of making decisions; 2) have ever existed.
