  • The liberal fear of these concepts and fear of showing these beliefs is part of why establishment liberals have become such bad orators and such weak and unconvincing political parties.

    These concepts have to be harnessed, that’s just the nature of drawing in the middle of politics.

    Politics is a luxury to focus on, there are huge swaths of work a day people who don’t and can’t focus on it. They need certain messages as short hand for doing the “right thing” - that’s just how politics is, not everyone can afford to live with the burden of political awareness, it’s not necessary healthy.

    You have to give the devil it’s dues, and do so willingly and happily. That’s just how political campaigns are under this system.



  • Trump reads these motown era lyrics written in 1968 about white people at all his rallies… But he says it’s a poem about immigrants. His rallies get very odd near the end, once the parts about Cultural Marxism and liberals destroying America are over, they ramp up this patriotic yet somber background music and he goes into this pre-written speil about how “they said no one can stop the border crisis, I alone was able to do so, when I built that beautiful wall…”

    Somewhere before that, often just whenever he notices the crowd feeling low, he reads “the poem” as he calls it.

    All his rallies are like this, it’s like a rock concert cult for geriatric lizard people. It’s very odd to watch, even just on YouTube the sense that it’s a weird ceremony or theatre comes through. It’s like something from a movie, or an alternative reality, but the crowd cheers every time:


    On her way to work one morning.
    Down the path 'longside the lake.
    A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake.
    His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew.
    “Oh well,” she cried, “I’ll take you in and I’ll take care of you”.

    She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk.
    And laid him by thе fireside with some honеy and some milk.
    She hurried home from work that night, and soon as she arrived.
    She found that pretty snake she’d taken in had been revived.

    She clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried.
    “But if I hadn’t brought you in, by now you might have died”.
    She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight.
    Instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite.

    “I saved you,” cried the woman. “And you’ve bitten me, but why?
    And you know your bite is poisonous and now I’m gonna die”.
    “Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin.
    “You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in”.

    Hot take (not entirely serious):

    Now that Presidents can’t be prosecuted for official acts that are crimes, Biden should enact Project 2025 EARLY give himself unitary executive power, and refuse to leave office.

    This would either destroy the country, save the country, or force SCOTUS to reconsider their ruling.

    Of course he could just deem the imbalance on SCOTUS a threat to national security, and write an official law saying that all major parties must be equally repressented by the judges on there (a one out, one in law).

    That would also work, and run less risk of tearing the country apart.










  • There’s also that team that built a mobile fish tank that the fish controlled, which proved that fish could learn and retain a task.

    They taught the using food rewards, then the fish were allowed to just wander around places (although, they had to be supervised incase the drove in risky ways).

    The study also showed that some fish (within the same species) were smarter or at least, better at the training than others.
