please stop wasting everyone's time by pretending to be stupid. it is a really simple concept. it comes down to shapes.
your kind worship troons and turning everything male and shapeless.
where as everyone else enjoys interesting shape. a woman's shape and a man's shape are fundamentals of art. open any art book, go to anatomy 101. what do they say? men have boxes, women have curves.
these are known statements of norm, of averages, and of nature. you will never change that. now keep popping your shitty pills and lying to yourself that it helps, its HILARIOUS.

Who’s ready for some real talk on Social Security?
Here it is: you didn’t “pay in” to Social Security, there’s no deposit account with “your” money in it, and every single dime of Social Security taxes you’ve paid in your entire life went directly to someone else or was frittered away by Congress.
For many decades after the program was created, there was more money collected in Social Security taxes paid in than money spent on benefits. This was due to the demographics of the country at the time: in 1950 there were 16 workers paying Social Security taxes for every 1 recipient of benefits, whereas today there are fewer than 3 workers per beneficiary.
So obviously, all that extra money collected for decades when there were more taxes collected than benefits paid was set aside and invested, right? LOL. If only.
Instead of setting all that extra money aside and protecting it for future beneficiaries, Congress spent it. Every last penny. Every dollar that has been collected in Social Security taxes has been spent. What Congress did instead of saving money was create a massive IOU which it dishonestly called the Social Security Trust Fund. Except there’s no trust and there’s no fund. It’s just a gigantic IOU, like in Dumb and Dumber. There’s no numbered account with money in it waiting to be withdrawn.
Where does this leave us? Beginning around 2020, payroll taxes collected were no longer sufficient to pay for current Social Security benefits, so money had to printed or borrowed from elsewhere. As more and more money has to be borrowed to pay current benefits, the Social Security Trust Fund balance is reduced.
Once it reaches zero—and right now that is expected to happen within the next 10 years—the government is legally prohibited from paying out more in benefits than it collects in Social Security payroll taxes each year. And that will mean an instant cut in Social Security benefits of around 20 percent. By the year 2100, expected benefits will be just 65 percent of promised benefits.
As of today, a 75-year-old who worked for 50 years and earned the median salary will have paid close to $100,000 in Social Security payroll taxes over his life. Based on average life expectancy of another 12 years, he will collected more than $500,000 in Social Security benefits, and those payments will come not from a savings account somewhere, but from taxes paid by his children and grandchildren. But when it comes time for the people paying directly for his Social Security checks to receive their benefits, they won’t get nearly as much as he gets, because the Trust Fund will be bankrupt.
The people paying for the Social Security benefits of Baby Boomers today will pay significantly more into the system than the Boomers ever did, but will receive a fraction of the eventual payout.
Does that seem fair? In light of those facts, is it really accurate to say you “earned” that Social Security payment? Of course it isn’t. Social Security is welfare for American retirees. And it’s a welfare system that is not only a total waste of money designed to give Congress an even bigger budget to fritter away (if you invested your Social Security taxes, your lump sum at retirement would be 5x higher than your expected lifetime benefits from Social Security), it’s also deeply immoral.
Because of the current demographics in the country, Social Security takes money from workers today so it can give retirees 3-5x more than they ever paid in AND will pay out significantly less when it’s time for the people currently paying into the system to collect their own benefits.
Boomers receive 3-5x more than they paid in, while their grandchildren will receive 35 percent less than what they were promised. They originally called this the New Deal when it was created, but it’s a raw deal for everyone currently being forced to pay into it.
So let’s stop with the pretense that Social Security is anything other than a poorly designed welfare scheme for retirees.
The mask comes off and shows how liberal individualism has left many boomers devoid of traditional morality. They see themselves as in competition with their children and grandchildren, not as a link in a great chain of existence stretching back into the mists of antiquity. "If I get mine why should I care if my postarity suffers?"

Tired of this excuse. First of all, social security is not something you “pay into.” If it were, you wouldn’t need younger people to “pay into it” in order to get your check. But you do. Because this is a Ponzi scheme, not a retirement account. What you really mean to say is that your money was stolen from you — which it was — and now you want to steal from younger people to get restitution. That’s the actual case you’re making and it’s exactly as morally deranged as it sounds.
Second, your generation continually for decades voted for politicians who would keep the scheme going. You might not have invented social security, but you damn sure made certain it kept going. Why should younger people have to pay the price for the shitty policies you supported?
Third, you “paid into” social security in a different time. The country is now bankrupted and 40 trillion dollars in debt, and basic things like housing are prohibitively expensive. It wasn’t like that when you were young, because your generation of leadership created this problem.
So the theme here is that there are a bunch of problems you guys either created or contributed to. You can choose to pay the price for that now, or force your grandchildren to pay the price so you can live comfortably until you die and leave them holding the bag. You’ve chosen the latter, and I think that’s wrong. Simple as that.

What's being ignored here even beyond malls is that this doesn't even happen in cities and towns anymore.
When I was growing up we would drive to my grandparents for Christmas and you would see every town and city decorated like this. Every house had lights. The culture that did things like this is dead.
It’s actually criminal how many of these are gone. Amazon and private equity killed so much of American life.

IMO assimilation definitely isn’t measured in one’s ability to put on a cowboy hat and watch sportsball, as these are entirely surface level and don’t measure much of anything. If that’s all “being an American” is, then there’s not much substance to the entire concept and as such it has no value.
However, neither can “American-ness” be measured by blood alone. If we try, then that just opens up a whole new can of worms of when we believe the cutoff is. That just leads to purity spiraling and isn’t very politically sound.
So I would say that assimilation comes through loyalty to the American Nation first and foremost. That means loyalty above that which one feels to their original country, above that which they feel towards family still living in said country, and loyalty above that which they feel towards their ethnic group.
Simply reciting an oath (which doesn’t have to be given in full) with no fear of punishment upon its violation will not be sufficient. It must be a loyalty felt in heart, body, and mind.
Which is why, instead of sperging out on the internet over family trees or fetishizing brown people in certain outfits, I think that assimilation can be improved if we instead worked towards restricting dual citizenship, penalizing remittances, and doubling down on Patriotic education (especially in majority minority communities) in order to induce loyalty. On top of similar actions like Denmark-style de-ghetto laws and the promotion of single-family households instead of multigenerational enclaves, we could see some progress in the right direction.
I understand that this assimilationist approach probably alienates me from my Right-Wing contemporaries, but I feel like it is more feasible in the long run.
Granted, we can never TRULY test a minority’s loyalty unless we have some kind of conflict with their country of origin, but you have to start somewhere.

We had some fun yesterday goofing on t.u. and terrible Texan politicians at the expense of the Indian desi diaspora, didn’t we?
Let’s get serious.
Indian-Americans of previous generations earned their places the hard way: they came as professionals or the children of professionals, learned the country, and became part of it. They’d have been welcome even under the old Asiatic Barred Zone of 1917. The current concern is not “Indians exist.” It’s that a sudden, very large, poorly selected wave is obliterating the reputation the earlier waves built, and that a nativist backlash, if it comes, will not carefully distinguish third-generation Texans of South Asian descent from last year’s H-1B cohort.
To my Indian-American friends, I’d ask you to consider the following.
First, assimilation is not optional. People who immigrate to America should dress, speak, and live like Americans. Many recent arrivals do not, and they are arriving in concentrated numbers, all at once. No high-trust country - Texas, Britain, Germany, Sweden, Australia - can absorb a rapid influx of culturally distant migrants without consequences. It isn’t a neutral event. Housing tightens. Local labor markets shift. Social trust falls. Accusing natives of bigotry for noticing this is how you get much uglier politics later.
Second, public religious display is not the same as a household shrine. The United States protects private worship. It does not promise indifference to 90-foot idols or temple complexes built as civilizational statements in a still-majority Christian country. You can cite “freedom of religion.” Locals will still take it as a cultural statement on public space and react accordingly.
Third, social media ended the courtesy of not knowing about the sending culture. What people now see of “India” is not a few professionals in Houston. It’s mountains of garbage, a “holy river” used as a sewer, national “Poo in the Loo” campaigns because public defecation is common enough to require one, and eating slop off the floor with fingers. You can call that prejudice. You can also admit that hygiene and public order are part of why *you left*, and part of why Americans do not want the same norms imported at scale.
Fourth, the old stereotype of the high-skill South Asian professional is being replaced, in real time, by a mass labor-import story: call centers, IT shops, retail, student visas used as work permits. Firms are not doing this out of cosmopolitan virtue. They’re doing it because the labor is cheaper and more compliant. Every slot filled that way is a slot an American kid, whose family paid for the university and the roads, did not get. Skill-based immigration is defensible. Labor arbitrage dressed up as “talent” is not.
Fifth, norms travel with people. The earlier desi cohort largely adopted Western expectations around merit, contracts, and honesty. The operating system showing up now - izzat, jugaad, nepotistic family networks, visa mills, title and lending scams - is visible because social media and local experience made it visible. High-trust societies are rare. They do not survive if newcomers treat rules as obstacles to be gamed.
A solution doesn’t require hating a whole ethnicity or rounding up subcontinentals. It requires conceding that numbers, selection, and speed decide whether immigration is a societal gain or a political time bomb. The people with the most to lose from a crude purge are the ones who already assimilated. They should be the *first and loudest* to demand that these latest waves of co-ethnics meet the standard they met, fairly, or go back home.

You sat out the Midterms to "teach Republicans a lesson". They didn't learn anything.
The year is now 2031, the 2030 Midterms just concluded and the GOP flipped three Senate seats! Here's the problem...Democrats won the Senate in 2026. They abolished the filibuster, as there was no Sinema or Manchin to protect it this time, and blocked all of Trump's judges. Then, in 2028, they rode a sluggish economy back to the White House.
President Ocasio-Cortez made it a point to instantly pack the Supreme Court to 17 justices, overturning Roe v. Wade, gutting the First and Second Amendments, and more.
There was also another border surge of 10-20 million illegal aliens. Legal immigration has been doubled under the Immigration Act of 2027, a comprehensive expansion of the 1990 Act. The US became majority nonwhite under the 2030 census.
Then, as the Senate was deemed "racist" and "rooted in White Supremacy", they decided to vote on adding states to the Union as "reparations for nonwhite non-representation". This gave 2 seats each to American Samoa, Guam, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Washington, DC (but NOT evil white supremacist Northern Mariana Islands, because they vote Republican). They also split up California into three states, citing "efficiency" reasons they refused to explain.
They also passed a "gerrymandering ban", which led to "independent commissions" creating inexplicably gerrymandered maps that included 3 blue seats in Kentucky, and 4 in Missouri. Not to mention only a single red seat in Illinois.
The Senate rushed through single payer healthcare, which caused a massive tax hike in exchange for subpar DMV-run healthcare that leads to shortages and wait times.
Then, they passed through a blanket amnesty for 60+ million illegal aliens and other foreign visaholders. While they still cannot legally vote until 2036, they will make up 25% of the electorate when they do.
Despite all that, much of the 'retard right' continues to call President Ocasio-Cortez "the most America First President in history" because she cut all foreign aid to Israel and arrested Benjamin Netanyahu (who is now cellmates with former President Donald Trump in Riker's Island). While patriots are routinely censored once again, these grifters are not for some reason.
Even if Republicans manage to win the 2032 presidential election in most key swing states, as some polls have them doing, it is unclear if they will be able to win it by enough to overcome the additional states in the electoral college. But even if they do, it is unclear at this point if a GOP victory would be certified. JD Vance has already been arrested, and Marco Rubio has been deported to Cuba for hate speech (the only deportation of her term since ICE was abolished in early 2027), leading many to speculate who the next man up in the GOP would be.
Guys, don't let this happen, because it will. Get the fuck out and vote.

Very funny that the media thinks depicting a family of “newcomers” throwing trash all over public land and blasting music from a massive loud speaker (in the literal National Forest) would somehow be a sympathetic story.
Labor Day weekend. Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.
Five Western Washington families say they were camping together when U.S. Forest Service rangers walked up over a “garbage issue,” collected IDs from some of the adults, then came back with ICE. Five men got locked up, including the father of the kids on the trip and three uncles.
Now the children are asking how they survive without the head of the household. Girl, the solution is simple. You and your family self-deport and go back where you illegally came from.
Not only are they illegal aliens but they were trashing up the park with their garbage.
FAIR estimates put Washington at about 375,000 illegal aliens and a taxpayer hit near $2.62 billion a year.
Once again, thank ACB and Roberts for all these anchor babies U.S. taxpayers keep paying for.

The function of the Mercator map was to enable safe sailing and trade
By stretching the poles, you can draw a line between any two points (any two sea ports) and the angle with respect to north will be constant
This was called a rhumb line: it’s longer than the shortest line that travels a globe, but you can calculate it very easy
This was very useful when it was extremely hard to calculate longitude and ships often got lost.
With the Mercator projection, you can just calculate your rhumb line and, even if you get blown off course, you know roughly what angle to be traveling in, so you can find your way
This is long outdated technology, but it was extremely important in its day.
The new “Equal-area Projection” serves no such practical purpose. It exists to soothe neurotic liberals who are upset that Africa isn’t large enough on Mercator and that this distortion is harmful to Africa
Its adoption reflects an affluent society where the underlying purpose of things is forgotten and the only function left is for objects to be symbols that signal belief (liberal beliefs)

Libertarians are enemies. They fundamentally reject America’s existence as a sovereign state.
These people will openly side with literal Gay Race Communists in the Democratic Party as they try to dissolve our borders because the very notion of having a country is written off as “socialism”.
That’s all Libertarians are ever capable of. At every turn, they do the bidding of the Left even as they claim to be fighting against it.

Virtually every poll demonstrates that there is very little difference in political views by age when you look WITHIN each demographic. The difference is almost entirely compositional: Gen Z has a lot more members of groups that tend to support socialism, because of immigration.
