Gang Land

Perhaps it is just a normal part of reaching geezerhood, but I am often surprised at how much has changed in my lifetime. I have often said that the past is a foreign country, but it does not seem like it was that long ago when it was normal. You see this with the things that used to be called vices. Gambling, pornography, drugs, and prostitution used to be things to avoid, but now they are celebrated lifestyles.

This came to mind while viewing a clip from one of the gangster shows where the principals were discussing their revenue streams. Just about every way the old gangsters made money has now been taken over by the state or by corporations, who are friends of the state. To a great degree, the decline of the mafia is due to them being muscled out by the government and its corporate pals.

That is the show this week. As a break from politics, I thought it would be fun to run through the various ways the old mobsters earned money and see who controls those rackets in this age. The only racket that is not run by government or corporations is prostitution, but that is debatable. Things like OnlyFans are a very small step removed from prostitution. How long before they take the next step?

Living in Asia now 2+ years. People ask me if I would like to go back to the U.S. I respond, yea, would like to go back to America circa 1963. The current America is a lunatic asylum.

Admittedly, there are pockets of normalcy. But overall it’s a disaster, soon to approach South African levels I suspect.

When ever I go out in I observe the White men that I see and do a mental exercise of imagining an armed robbery/terrorist attack occurring. I size them up and try to assess who could be counted on. Not that I am Rambo but less than 10% of men that I see look like they would offer any resistance. The quality of America’s White population, men and women, has degraded drastically and is incredibly poor.

“Asia” – wherever you are – has its own problems. The USA is just reverting to the historical norm of living standards in a powerful empire. We are leaving behind an era of plenty which is ahistorical and rare. A true golden age. You can still see the golden-age America in some spots, like where I live, but the days of Muskogee being better than almost any large Asian city are gone. Is the USA still a great place to live? Yes and no. It depends on your temperament. For third world peasants, yes definitely; of course. For the strivers?… Read more »

The economy is not built on debt. The media is not entirely owned by someone whose name ends in stein. The place has not been at war for 100 years. The women are not certifiably insane. Gay people are left alone and not thrust into the heights of societal control. Interesting enough my “Asian” neighbors don’t despise me with a burning hot hatred. Only a bit of that… Read more »

I’m the last to defend modern White women, most of whom I despise. However, marrying an Asian – no matter how slim – is no panacea. Most Asian women are not nearly as compliant as White men think. And she will file for and import every last member of her extended family, and your hapa children will never be genuine White European Americans. End result is still White genocide, so what’s the point?

But here’s the deal. The only reason I’d like to live in a place like NYC would be the restaurants and cultural amenities such as museums and classical music concerts. However, drones can’t deliver those. You have to wade through the mudslide to get to them, and once you get there, you’ll find the people in control of them are hostile to you and your people.

Asia offers the choice of living in a more homogeneous culture — as an outsider.You will never be fully a part of the society unless you learn the language and conform to a high degree and even then look at the Chinese diaspora in other Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia — tolerated, but envied for their business acumen and viewed with stone-hot jealousy.

I just got back from three weeks in Taiwan a few days ago, a place I’ve lived in or visited almost every year since the late 90’s. Every time I go, the gulf between the femininity of Taiwanese women and the horror show of American women gets just a little bit wider. It’s always jarring to see an Asian woman, who would now be considered a smoke show in the West, hanging off the arm of some skinny local geek. The men in that part of the world are incapable of understanding what they have.

I lived in Eastern Asia for over a decade. Had to move back to the US for a variety of reasons but in many ways it is a hard transition. The combination of the fatness and slovenliness of the White population is symbolic of the general decline. In Asia, Asians and many White expats feel free to speak their minds. Depressing to try to have a conversation with White men in America and see the self censorship even when no one else is around.

But then they continued by putting cameras everywhere, to catch you stopping your vehicle just beyond the white stripe at a red light, running a yellow light, going a single kmph over the speed limit, etc. The eye of Sauron is watching you at all times and running your license plate through… Read more »

Yeah, there was a great scene where some of Sopranos guys went to shake down a new juice store for protection money. But it was a corporate shop, so the manager is explaining to them that every dime is accounted for by the computer system.

He’d have to give them the money from his own salary, which wasn’t much. He told them that he’d rather just quit and get a job down the street.

They just walked out and left the place alone.

That’s a Sailer axiom. And he’s correct. What this means, functionally, is living in a lily-white suburb of a large metropolis. And, as has been mentioned in this site frequently, a lack of experience with real negroes–as opposed to those carefully curated by universities–correlates positively adoration of the Hutu. Such white people are like toddlers who see a panther in a zoo and put their arm through the bars to try to pet it.

It’s the locust system. Trade, churn, consume. The person who becomes a refugee is the first to be consumed— and he works hard for it, has been convinced he’s making it. Only temporarily, as you note, because it follows and drives him off again. Quite a trick somebody pulled. Stand and die once (or maybe not?), or die a thousand certain small deaths on the way.

The government will never totally abandoned policing, because one of the cops’ functions is to protect government offices and personnel. They’re like private security for the well-to-do. If, on the other hand, the burbs were ever to be abandoned and the criminal element were to move in, the taxpayers might actually start to vote in municipal elections and drive the non-police-funding government apparatchiks out of office …

The only purpose of the police is to support and protect the interests of the ruling class. Your interests are protected only when they are compatible with those of our rulers, or sometimes when not protecting them might cause unrest.

I have long been struck at how they squeal with indignation if anyone is to object to porn on any moral basis whatsoever. It’s all “consenting adults” and “don’t be repressed” and “women’s empowerment”, etc. A government that cared for it’s people would never have legalized pornography, onlyfans, etc. The addiction and simping from those things is far, FAR worse than just discretely going to some whore in real life and getting your rocks off.

there so much of this type of thing in the west. The idea that well we would like there not to be porn available for 9 year olds, but some principle that overrides it; we would like to live in a homogeneous society but some principle that overrides it; we’d ideally like mothers to stay home with their children but principle .

its like God said you HAVE to do this stuff; it destroys society, it has no precedent or tradition in the west , but God said, so deal with it!

Yep, wife and I never discuss the “new car” or the “big house” when discussing the essence/blessings of our happiness. It’s family, friends, and neighborhood. This pocket of “utopia” in a sea of troubles seems to me the essence of White hesitancy to react to deteriorating societal conditions we see all around us. Many of us have already retreated to our “Inner Castle Keeps”. Of course, as one sees in the movies, such *is* already a last resort before collapse.

I’m in a similar situation.

It’s a pretty good gig even though we cannot completely escape the iniquitious impositions of the popular “culture” and our fellow “Americans.” We’ve still got plenty to lose.

True, Stephanie. I was far poorer yet much happier in the Seventies. The cliche about trading liberty for security holds up over time. The embrace of materialism led to a poverty of enjoyment.

No, it’s certainly not communism. This is 2024, not 1954. That said, there is an ideology–postmodern fascism–that facilitates the anti-white racism. And it has proven to be much more destructive than Marxism ever was, chiefly because it’s much more insidious and abstruse.

We don’t need the postmodern destruction of standards to justify white chauvinism because white civilization is objectively superior to everything else. But yes, garden-variety fascism deployed on behalf of whites wouldn’t be the worst thing.

And you’re right that white nationalists don’t necessarily need to understand the ideology behind the hatred of whites. Recognizing the hatred exists and is promulgated by almost everybody–including whites–in power should be more than sufficient to get people off their asses and motivated for battle.

It’s a new world. GAE can no longer push around any decent-sized country or, even, a militia. Satellites tell you where any military force is located. Missiles and drones can hit them or you can ambush them if it’s a small force like what the IDF and Americans sent to hit the Houthi. Our carrier groups are terrified of getting hit and thus stay far away from danger. They no longer project power to anyone with a decent missile system. NATO would be lucky to muster 60k to 90k troops in a year, a joke of a force against Russia,… Read more »

The problem will be our rulers don’t and can’t accept the greatly diminished sphere of influence. The GAE is simply following the normal arc: the periphery erodes and the ability to project power continues to shrink until it is more or less only the old capitol and immediate countryside that can be ruled somewhat competently. With the preface I don’t relish the eventuality, if the region you reference is North and South America, those increasingly will be aligned with China and Russia and perhaps even Iran and some will host their military bases. A trait of dying empires also is… Read more »

As a Christian, I believe all forms of fornication, including porn, will damn one’s everlasting soul to Hell. The NT makes clear that even divorce and remarriage is sexual immorality, and will bring about that same woeful end. In a perfect world, I don’t want anyone to participate in these things, knowing that they who do such will suffer the wrath of God if they do not repent. However, I would like to see prostitution legalized. The Guv Gang absolutely uses sex, one of Mankind’s most primal urges, as a weapon against a healthy, functioning society.

I think porn is prostitution – dual prostitution. Two people are getting paid to have sex to arouse anonymous voyeurs. It is a disturbing thought. Who owns that racket? Don’t some religious leaders own it? That is what I have heard.

In any case, things have deteriorated and that process accelerates.

On the flip side, it has never been a better to cultivate virtue with the access to knowledge. We just have to form networks differently to practice it in fellowship. That is the path forward for our folk.

I’ve never been able to wrap my head around the legal “reasoning” that says that video of people copulating is “speech.” If it was a recording of them talking dirty to each other, I could better comprehend.

Anyhow, you are correct. It is prostitution made legal, so long as the act is recorded and disseminated somehow. It is only when you try to keep your solicitation of prostitution secret that it becomes illegal.

Screwing as speech is all part of the postmodern destruction of language. Since the meaning of language is merely a matter of perspective, words mean whatever the people in power say they mean. Another example is the redefinition of “vaccine.”

Your comment always reminds me of Alice.

The concept of legalized prostitution is somewhat overblown. Why? The typical female today at a young age, but surely after dating age, considers sex the equivalent of what was a good night kiss in the 50’s and 60’s. In short, there’s quite a bit of legal competition to paid for sex. Yeah, the incels probably could use a bit of help here, but sex is rampant within the population at an early age with few strings attached. Since it is Olympics time, just Google some of the stories of the Olympic villages and the accommodations made to facilitate the endless… Read more »

To be fair, I’m no “bluenose”. The problem is not so much “sex before marriage”, but “so much sex before marriage”. There is much study of the effect of meaningless sex on a woman’s ability to pair bond with a single man. “Body count” matters—and much more so for women. Guys think with their “dicks” as it is said, but really they are just fooling themselves to play that game. Father’s need to step in and early in these matters.

My general impression is that many of these “actresses” do this quite early in their careers to get a part, any part, in a feature length movie. There are few who are fortunate enough to build a reputation quickly and can reject those parts, which most often are simply nudity for the sake of titillation—not story telling.

The irony of the whole damn business is that actresses are therefore used and discarded very quickly compared to their male counterparts as no one stays young, novel, and sexually alluring forever.

This process goes on in Hollywood, too. The world is full of pretty young girls who would do literally anything to become a movie star. The producers know this and take advantage to the hilt.

Listen to “The King of Hollywood” by Eagles. It describes this dynamic very well.

At any rate, can’t shed too many tears for the bimbos. If they choose that life then they can live with the consequences. There’s other ways to live besides prostituting yourself onto the silver screen.

The good news is that a majority of the shortfall is due to the “bulge” in the Anaconda—“Boomers”, and they are slated to die off in the next 20 years. I predict no deal until we approach 2030.

Stop associating Musk with hands off driving. He is perhaps one of 3 or 4 doing such research in the US and many of the accidents are not of his division. Blame the States and their regulatory system wrt driverless vehicles.

The EV I bought from Ford came with this. The system is arguable worse than on Tesla, in that it requires *no* hands on wheel. Tesla at least used technology to sense every so often if you were touching the steering wheel.
