I had a call with my Grandma the other day, I asked her:
“Have you voted?”
“Of Course! All Republican!”
“Great to hear! how did you remember?”
“Trump has been texting me and emailing me all the time, I don’t want to disappoint him”
I love you grandma! ❤️

The last thing my ballot sees before I, a sensitive young man, vote for every Republican candidate.

The sand people entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to raid and kill everyone else, and nobody was going to kill them

ABC News says "right-wing provacateurs," not "right-wing journalists," because they know how bad it sounds to say that liberals are prosecuting journalists because they're embarassed by what they undercovered.
Two right-wing provocateurs are facing election-related charges in Minnesota after posting videos of an undercover stunt intended to expose deficiencies in election security. abcnews.link/YSGOMWI

The White underclass is a miracle, and probably why the West has succeeded.
Thomas Frank wrote “What’s the Matter with Kansas” to explore why poor Whites don’t vote for socialist policies that would (narrowly, in the short-term) benefit them. Of course he concluded it was about racism, as he was predetermined to do by his ideology.
But I actually think he highlighted an incredibly important fact: poor White Americans, uniquely among underclasses globally, don’t vote for socialism.
The typical dynamic is rich people trying to keep what they have and poor people trying to take it. But the American lower-class White does not behave this way, because he has a deontological aversion to government interference. The collection of attitudes and beliefs described as “rugged individualism” are often assessed in terms of how they impact the individual, but I think it’s much more important to consider how they impact a nation.
(White) America has the world’s least resentful or grasping underclass. This is a treasure. They should be preserved and rewarded. Many might be net-negative fiscally in a narrow sense, but they are hugely net-positive if you consider their votes. Trump famously said “I love the poorly educated.” He was right to say this. Every nation has an elite. No other nation has such a high quality of virtuous common people.

Ancient man understood that the real way to "mog" and humiliate a rival is by doing something so good for him that he knows he'll never be able to pay you back. Now we all preen and snipe at each other like little girls.
I was quickly reminded why I hate going out last night
Everybody is just so fucking mean and angry man. Always looking for a way to socially win against you. Girls will bait you into a convo to walk away. Guys will find a way to get a quick “nut drag” on you socially
People will find ways to just throw social jabs when they are supposed to be out having a good time
I’m starting to genuinely hate the human race
I used to think our one redeemable quality is our thinking and rational abilities to transcend us from a beast
This genuinely doesn’t exist in most people

If you want bigger traps you could do an 8 week cycle of Barbell Hang Clean to Presses instead of adding in another docile shrug variation
But you aren’t about that life

There is an important reason that the right never wins the culture war overall, despite the left being so poor at tactics that they often end up shooting their own feet.
That is the reality that logistics are more important than tactics, and tactics only matter once you have sorted logistics out.
The left has sorted logistics out by creating patronage networks, while the right refuses to do so because it's still controlled by a curious kind of boomer paleoliberal who thinks that "free market" means "everything should pay for itself".
Thus, both the cultural and political struggles of the right must be waged by broke young men as a side project to their careers, while fighting for the left is a career.
The young men fighting for the right are simply expected to purchase their own rifles, ammunition, uniforms and kit, provide their own transport to the front, then organize themselves into units to defeat the communists.
If you understand this, then you will understand why the retards manage to win a lot despite being retards.
The left is giving people 100K fellowships for writing lesbian novels, while the right is charging its own guys $200 to listen to some theoretical ramblings about the antichrist.
No, that's not a metaphor. I wish I had made either of those two facts up as some sort of hyperbole.
Only the left understands how to get and use political power.
The left understands that power is a form of currency. So if you want it, you have to buy it, with some other form of currency. Such as money.
The right thinks that political power is a side effect... something that you naturally accumulate while doing business.
Possibly this is because most wealthy right-wing people are investors. They start a project, or put money into it, and they expect to get their money back and then some. That's what they are used to.
That's how investment works.
But that's not how power works.
And if you have wealth, but no power, then the people with power will just take whatever you built.
I don't know exactly what the tech right, the business right, the wealthy right, should be spending on political power. But what they are spending is clearly not enough and in the wrong places.
Because George Soros sure as hell isn't selling people tickets to listen to him talk.

You have to think in caveman terms. These debates are two tribes recruiting allies. TPUSA’s argument is “The other tribe is mean.” The other tribe’s argument is “We outnumber them. We’re organizing to kill them. We tell them to their face and they do nothing.” Who’d you join?

Twice in the last 5 or so years, I have gotten into conversations with coworkers who have learned that I am pretty right wing and a christian. They are usually surprised because I joke around and swear a lot, which maybe I should work on, but thats not the point here.
What happens is that we start talking about it, and in both cases, the coworkers were either atheist or vaguely agnostic. They start interrogating me from the classic George Carlin/reddit atheist stance. Its exhausting. But what I find is that when I turn it back to them and ask them what they believe in, they don't have an answer.
They do the meme. "Be a heckin good person" is essentially what they say. They've sincerely never thought about it. They don't really have a belief system beyond rational self-interest. They are floating through life like this. They don't feel the need to construct or deconstruct a belief system. They are content to carry out the programming they have absorbed without much question.
They always claim to be political centrists and make sure to point out that they want fiscal responsibility (they never have any idea what this would look like or take and constantly vote for people who don't hide their intentions to spend wildly).
On the religious side, I will start to ask them philosophical and theological questions, to which they seem to not even understand. They think its weird to even think about or discuss these things. They may have learned about Aristotle but only in a biographical sort of way. They've ever actually had discourse or been challenged about this stuff.
As eigenrobot says. They don't have any beliefs to interrogate. These people could be conditioned to consent to mass killings with 2 years or less of really good propaganda

This is actually an IQ test. What made the Industrial Revolution possible was European governments spending multiple centuries culling the bottom 2% criminal element as a state-run eugenics program, until the aristocratic gene pool improved enough to develop a large base of men with the time preference to stop killing the Golden Goose and allow for novel legal concepts such as copyright, intellectual property to be protected so that men like Elon Musk could develop technological wealth production, sanitation, railroads, electricity, etc.. The real historical Bene Gesserit Kwisatz Haderach was multiple centuries of firing squads and gallows purging the gene pool of everyone who didn't get it, while at the same time aristocratic men married and had more kids and organized into secret cabal conspiracies of friendships such as the Royal Society of London.
Jealousy is a huge problem.
Crabs-in-a-bucket mentality.
When Deng Xiaoping took over the Chinese nation which Mao Zedong had terrorized and destroyed, one of the things Deng Xiaoping said in public was "Let some people get rich first".
The crowd will always want to tear the Great Man of History down. You have to change the incentive structure.
Elon Musk MOGs everybody, and most people just seethe and want to murder him and take his stuff. We need two things: a selfless admiration of heroic achievement, and an absolute ruthless brutality willingness to get our hands dirty and crush anyone who tries to interfere with our success.
Billionaires need bodyguards. They need to be protected from the mob with pitchforks.
In China, Jack Ma got too powerful with Alibaba and he got disappeared and his family got kidnapped and Jack Ma's business was taken over by the government and he was humiliated and sent to go work at elementary schools after he had been a billionaire, so that everyone knew not to try to get too rich and ambitious.
Tall poppies get cut.
Civilization requires a society to develop mechanisms for protecting exceptional individuals from the destructive impulses of the majority. Otherwise, you get African barbarism where the parasitic obese mammies are robbing the farmers and builders before anything can get built.
People have this intuitive sense that people who create wealth are actually hoarding it from everyone else. That assumes the wealth existed beforehand. That assumes a kind of law of conservation of wealth, where wealth is never created or destroyed but just moved around. That isn’t how wealth works. Elon created something that didn’t exist before.

The other biggest point is that the Jedi code was so sacrosanct that it could never be violated whenever the code gave a negative outcome for Anakin, but suddenly, when the Jedi code was finally in his favor and dictated keeping Palpatine alive, instead, Palpatine was to be killed in blatant violation of the code.
The Jedi all of a sudden were willing to throw the code out the window when it benefited them, but never when it benefited Anakin. Which is why Mace Windu, instead, ends up thrown out the window.
I wonder why young guys relate to this story so much and find it so compelling.

"Nothing of this scale has been seen in the United States, experts say, since the federal government’s counterinsurgency against the New Left and the anti-war movement in the 1960s and 1970s."
