Just in time for Christmas, the “tech bros”, who jumped on the Trump bandwagon last summer, launched a campaign on Twitter in favor of infinite Indian migration, for all the long ago debunked economic reasons. The trigger for this was Trump naming someone calling himself Sriram Krishnan to an advisory board. This person was a Kamala supporter, in addition to being a strong advocate for bringing all his countryman to live in your neighborhood.
It is unlikely that Trump thought much about Sriram Krishnan before naming him to this advisory board, as it is not an important post. It looks like he took the recommendation of David Sacks, who is running a technology advisory board for Trump. David Sack is an open borders fanatic for all the expected reasons. He spent Christmas day trying to justify Sriram Krishnan’s appointment as “America First”, while also defending unlimited immigration from India.
It was not just David Sacks trying to subvert the meaning of American First. Elon Musk took time away from not celebrating Christmas to push the idea of unlimited immigration from India as well. Like all the tech bros, nation wreckers and open society types, his claim rests on the obvious lie that India is full of future Einsteins that America must recruit in order to win. What we win by turning your neighborhood into a New Delhi slum is never explained, because it is a lie.
This episode is a good reminder that modern America is cursed with one of the worst economic elites in human history. Most of what they do adds nothing to the country or the stock of human capital. Silicon Valley is now just financial flim-flams and financial legerdemain masquerading as a tech sector. Like the Wall Street economy, the Silicon Valley economy is just a skim, not a lot different than how the mafia operated Las Vegas or the Teamsters Union back in the 1970’s.
The main difference between the mafia and the current oligarchs is the mafia knew it was the mafia, while the current oligarchs think they are some weird combination of religious leader and entrepreneurial genius. Elon Musk is Valentine Michael Smith from the Heinlein novel, Stranger in a Strange Land. Instead of promising sexual liberation, he is selling motorized doorstops and trips to Mars. The original Valentine Smith came from Mars and this one wants to return.
It is easy to hate the oligarchs as sociopathic greed heads, but they are a symptom of a deeper problem with post-Cold War America. The reason these guys exist is that after the Cold War, America fell into an old bad habit of seeing itself as nothing more than an economic zone to be exploited. This is a current in American history that goes back to the colonies, when the New World was nothing more than an untapped economic zone to be exploited by who got to it first.
This is something Tocqueville observed in his travels around America. There has never been an enduring sense of American identity, other than the idea that making money is the heart of American liberty. The way to avoid the exploitative relationships common in the old world is to maintain a free economy so that anyone can get rich. The concept of “Fuck You Money” is based in this belief. You can get rich enough to not fear coercion from the government or the other rich people.
One main reason people admire Musk is he is the ultimate example of the guy who has achieved “Fuck You Money” status. He is the world’s richest man and the world’s biggest shit poster online. Instead of bending the knee to the Indians running Twitter, he bought the platform for probably two or three times its value. In reality, Musk paid $44 billion for what amounts to a poorly coded message board. He overpaid for it because he has “Fuck You Money”.
Many in the MAGA movement slobber over Musk because of this, but there is an evil that lies behind all of it. Oligarchs like Musk do not see America as their home, but as a company they just acquired. The triumphalism of the tech bros is that they now think with Trump in the White House, they can do what Musk did with Twitter, to the whole country and reorganize it for their purposes. They are the board that took the company called America private and now plan to reorganize it.
This is the next turn of the wheel in the managerial revolution that kicked off a century ago with the rise of the American empire. The large shareholders have become disenchanted with management, so they are shaking things up. The trouble is the shareholders are not American in any meaningful sense. If they think this guy is as American as those with just one passport, then their definition of citizen is no different from their definition of employee.
It is tempting to call this feudalism, mostly because feudalism has an odor about it, but the feudal elite actually had a bond with the peasants. The feudal order started with the reciprocal relationships between the elites, but it also included vertical relations that bound the top to the bottom. The king had a duty to his people. In this age, the oligarch has no duty to his employees. They are mere economic units to be exploited in order to fulfil his obligations to his fellow shareholders.
What we are seeing is an effort to transform the fundamental relations between the citizens and the state, but also among the citizens themselves. Your duty to your neighbor is now the same as your duty to Apu in IT, who was just flown in from Bangalore to replace your neighbor. Everyone is now supposed to see themselves as employees of America Inc., which is now run by people who view you as an expense to be reduced and a liability to be eliminated.
It is not a big leap from using the income statement to justify unlimited Indian immigration to using it to justify involuntary suicide or the deportation of citizens who are no longer working out for American Inc. If economics trump the moral arguments against immigration, then there are no moral arguments that can trump economics when it comes to anything else. Once citizenship is defined as employment, everything and everyone is a slave to the bottom line.
The flaw in this is no rational man will sacrifice for his CEO. The transactional relationship between employer and employee cannot work for a society, because of the fundamental compact at the heart of every human society. The people tolerate and even sacrifice for the elites in a human society, because those elites provide protection through the mechanism of government. If those elites are no longer willing to provide protection, then the reason to tolerate them evaporates.
Perhaps this is the sign that we are fully in late-stage managerialism. The economic elites sense America Inc. is faltering, so they step in to force a change in management, without understanding the root cause of the problem. They view Trump as a turnaround specialist who can reverse the fortunes of the enterprise, while maintaining the transactional relationship between themselves and the people. In the end it must fail because American is not a corporation. It is a people.

South Asians are some of the most destructive immigrants we could possibly allow into the United States. While not as violent and stupid as your average sub-Saharan African, they are on the whole not as intelligent as Europeans. They are also extremely ethnocentric people. Some of them are just competent enough to secure well paying mid and high level jobs, but their extreme ethnocentrism means that once one Indian gets power in an organization, soon the entire department or organization is full of Indians brought over from India. Furthermore, the primary mode of doing business in India (I know this first hand, as I’ve… Read more »

To be fair, most average Americans have no idea how things work in a place like India. One of the things that most shocked me when I went there was that most of the Indians I interacted with were nothing at all like the few intelligent and well behaved Indians I knew or had known back in the United States. India does indeed have a lot of smart people, but they are far, far outnumbered by the rest of the population which explains why India is the way that it is. Also, India is a very low trust society, which… Read more »
“One of the things that most shocked me when I went there was that most of the Indians I interacted with were nothing at all like the few intelligent and well behaved Indians I knew or had known back in the United States.” I had a discussion of this phenomena more than once with someone online.

And this is one of the captious things about selective immigration. In the case of India–or Nigeria, or Lebanon, etc.–AINO skims off the extreme cognitive elite of the target nation. India’s very best and brightest wind up in AINO and your average white, after associating with such people, makes the understandable if logically false assumption that these elites are representative of Indians in general, when in fact, they are extreme exceptions to the rule. This misinformation then justifies, in the mind of the deluded, the importation of more Indians. And before you know it you’re living in little Hyderabad with… Read more »
I have a friend who thinks that Nigerians are very intelligent people, because he met a couple of elite Nigerians when he studied at university. He has no explanation for why Nigeria is such a disgusting shithole.
Igbo are often referred to as the jews of Africa. They’re scammers and grifters par excellence. Unfortunately, they benefit from an angle that Indians don’t. Nigeria is predominantly Christian, and the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches have otherwise intelligent people who are enamored with their Nigerian co-religionists. The “based” African bishops who thumb their nose at the pontiff are usually Nigerian. I’m a steadfast Christian and I find this deification of black men speaking sanity to insane churches tiresome. It’s the same old conservative game where they find a brown person saying things they wish they could say and they… Read more »
Let’s be fair to your friend. He’s been propagandized since the age of 2 that all groups are equal. He’s also been propagandized to believe anyone who thinks otherwise is not just wrong, but evil. Even if had bothered accessing true information, it is just so much easier to believe the propaganda.
He’s been propagandized since the age of 2 that all groups are equal. He’s also been propagandized to believe anyone who thinks otherwise is not just wrong, but evil.
Tars, that was all just as true of me. But here I am. Thus my limited patience with the colorblind civnats.
Why? Because the majority of the intelligent Nigerians left Nigeria.
Unfortunately, many white people are so browbeaten with the racism indoctrination that, upon meeting the first group of brown people that don’t regularly rob convenience stores, they’ll declare them a “model minority” and begin advocating on their behalf. It sounds insane to us and other people who are capable of using two oldfangled concepts known as “logic” and “reason.” If Indians are so brilliant, why is India a disaster? Because it’s full of Indians. Common sense dictates that if Indians were so capable and intelligent, they would have established a nation that is not so horrible that they’re all trying… Read more »

Met a young Indian coed recently who was riding on a nice scholarship to my university. Apparently her family had moved somewhere in the white Midwest and (one of the few I’m sure) scholarships for poor rural whites was being given to this not very talented interloper.
And those admissions officers beam with joy when they can use a schollie dedicated to western Kansas, for example, to bring in a subcoon rather than a local yokel.
I know many young, high-IQ white men in the midwest who have zero interest in college and 9-5 cubicle careers. The really smart ones have hustled into multiple trade schools in their 20s (welding, electric, aircraft maintenance etc) without taking on debt and are rapidly mastering ‘nomadic work’ scenarios. I don’t know any white man under 30 that wants the boomer lifestyle of house, 2 cars, kids and suburbia.
The brown hordes will all have degrees from once-great Amerikan colleges but will be earning $10/hr like in the 3rd world. The race to the bottom is inevitable.

I rarely second these diversions, but the article is quite good and written by an Indian who decries his fellow countrymen immigrants. Discussion centering on just how long adaptation to Western standards of behavior and thinking can take—or for that matter, if they can take. It’s much, much more than a negative screed. There are some important psychological aspects of a people pointed out.
You can see the same in rural areas of Europe and it’s not because of a family member taking an IT job, but because the EU pays for them to come and mix with the local populations.
(I wonder what part of my comment triggered the filters to put it in the approval queue)
Indians are, on average, dumber than American blacks. The average IQ in India is 83. They are so ethnocentric they out-jew the jews. They are nasty people.
Even without them being here, they’ve managed to make our phones next to useless.

I assume Vance is up to his neck in this BS, but it is torching him. Good. If it forces him to have a Sister Souljavinshu moment, better.
The worst case scenario is that JD’s wife is his WEF handler.

The amusing thing about the Indian discourse is that no matter how rich or successful they become, other groups don’t get jealous or envious of them because no amount of money or status is enough to make up for being Indian.

Heck, why shouldn’t they have contempt for the native population? In the rest of their economic empire they rule over guys in grass skirts, lounging under coconut palms, drinking kava, while they, the Indians, basically run these island and third-world places.

Unless and until Joe Sixpack throughout the western world boycotts spectator sports, plus other targets to protest his political and economic disenfranchisement, nothing will change, not even electing Trump!

They already know that they we won’t die for their right to sit on their bag of money. That’s why nobody is serious about WWIII. The collective Great War of the 20th century took a reasonably healthy populace ready to die for nationalism. They had to have some social order and sense of social duties. Both wars were less about passion/warrior or even Roman armies and more about factory workers dying in a factory manner, for a sense of home mostly felt by their grandfathers.

It is fascinating how fast Indians replaced blacks as the country’s most hated minority. With good reason. You can get away from blacks but the Indians will devour everything if you let them.

The Leftists who’ve controlled America’s education system the last 60 years annihilated all standards of achievement in an effort to make the Hutus feel like our intellectual peers. In consequence, white students are not challenged and they do not learn. That’s why relatively few are prepared to do high-level tech work. Restore those old standards–and devil take the negroes–and voila! You’ve got an extremely competent workforce once more.
“In consequence, white students are not challenged and they do not learn.”
This.
In the one example I’m familiar with, White guys were hired and were grossly inadequate to the task. I appreciate one’s loyalty to the race, but it’s not that simple (IMO). As I’ve noted before, DIE is not simply pernicious because it promotes the graduation of incompetent minorities, but worse, it lessons the standards for *all* graduates in technical fields—and that includes Whites.
Z Man: “American is not a corporation. It is a people.”
Also Z Man: Tocqueville observed “there has never been an enduring sense of American identity, other than” making money.
Can both statements be true?
Northern Europeans tried to inspire other races to look beyond race and embrace meritocracy, but no other group followed.
White Americans have an identity that was forced on them because the other groups insist on seeing them as the group to be overthrown.
You may not be interested in race, but race is interested in you.
I think both can be true. Often it is the money making identity that dominates, but there are periods when it was subordinated to other things, like the long fight against communism. The racial awareness we are seeing with whites in America is in response to the economic excesses. The revolt against immigration is a polite way of expressing racial solidarity.
But the inability of whites to just come out and say, “I don’t want them here because they’re not my people, they’re not white” makes their arguments so much less powerful.
Because whites can’t use race as a reason, they’re forced to play by the other’s sides rules and morality. White have to make economic arguments, which can be countered. Or whites use the culture argument, but the other side can just respond that America assimilated all kinds of people over the centuries.
In a formerly racially homogenous nation the idea of ‘racial identity’ is superfluous. Only when foreigners invade does the issue of racial identity become relevant. The invaders naturally identify as ‘others’ while the hosts play catch-up on the concepts of racial differences. Ultimately multiculturalism results in the racial politics seen in prisons (i.e. enforced segregation by races).
Enforced segregation by race eventually becomes different nation-states, as it did in Europe.
Racial identity is also important when conquering foreign lands. You can be certain Limeys in the Raj were quite aware of their distinct identity. But your point still stands. Identity becomes far more acute in justaposition to the Other.
Whites, especially Northern Europeans are the least ethnocentric and the most high-trust race. Most White Americans grew up in extremely non-diverse communities until the consequences of Hart-Celler ’65 appeared. Race wasn’t even thought about in everyday life unless you turned the TV on.
As LineInTheSand says, race is forcing itself on Whites. The Whites who can adapt will understand that it’s back to nature. “Eat or be eaten.”
“The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts of common dangers, sufferings, and successes.”
George Washington, 1796
Watching the twitter storm last night was hysterical. “America must WIN!” What is this, the Ford Administration?
The best point was that H1-bs are a form of slave labor. The migrants must retain their corporate sponsorship in order to stay, so they put up with working conditions no real American would tolerate.
The new oligarchs apparently have no less contempt for the American people than the old. Trump should take notice. He might be amazed at how quickly his support can disappear.

Yes, I would agree with these observations. Rome had many colonies by the end of the empire. The most commercial of enterprises were in North Africa, when she colonized over another purely economic settlement in Carthage. What’s left of the Roman culture all lives on the Northern half of the Mediterranean sea. (Do not get me started on St. Augustine was a black man because we was born in Africa frustrations.)

This was a great essay. We should face the historical facts though. Post-industrial America has always been exploitative. Andrew Carnegie came from Scotland as a boy (sorta like Musk from SA) and had no qualms with exploiting immigrant Slavs in steel mills. Yeah he left a university and a music hall, but the oligarchs of old weren’t very different from today’s. The bankers lent too much money to Europe and got us into WWI. So they sent Sgt York from the farm. I don’t want to go full Howard Zinm, but we should keep things in perspective. It’s possible that… Read more »
Your old versus new oligarchs comparison forgets race. Every town in America had a Carnegie library where poor, white boys could learn and improve their lives. Of course, the steel baron got rich from their fathers’ labor, but they and their sons could also benefit from his largess. Today’s billionaires reserve their charity for infinite browns, with the aim of fanning racial tensions and supporting pressure-releasing riots.
Is that really true about those Carnegie libraries? Maybe some were better than others at performing that service.
Because it’s the people, not the the buildings. I’m sure there are a few Carnegie libraries still extant in what are now black or immigrant neighborhoods which serve no purpose other than vandalism. It just depends. Modern oligarchs prefer to waste their charity on low-IQs.
Fair enough. Libraries aside, my point is that Oligarchs have been exploiting immigrant labor in this country since the Potato Famine. It’s an American tradition. (You could argue it goes back to colonial indentured servants and African slaves too). The Oligarchs will stop importing immigrants when it suits them or when Whites rebel.
Exploitation, perhaps. But those white immigrants, ca. 1880-1925, came to America with their eyes wide open, knowing that times would be tough for a while, but also knowing they would be better off here than in the Old Country, and understanding they had more opportunity to live life to the full. The concept of exploitation is mitigated when exploitation is an improvement.
Yes, white indentured servants had an unfortunate habit of escaping to the frontier. Neighboring settlers might have their suspicions but largely sympathized. Now a negro pitches up at your cabin and it’s another matter. Contemporary elites love infinite East Indians precisely because of their Indian-ness. Diversity has always been in their interest, not ours.
Well done, Zman.
Do you have 2-3 bullet points making the moral arguments against immigration? These should flood twitter.
I like to tell libtards how mass immigration is bad for blacks just to see them go into “this does not compute” mode.
Excellent essay. Thanks for stating so succinctly what I sensed, but couldn’t quite parse out. That this attempt to manipulate the national conversation occurred while most of the populace was distracted by religious and familial obligations just underscores how serious our resolve must be to keep our vigilance high.
Having worked for Pat Buchanan in the 1990s, and suffered the career consequences of being associated with the horribly anti-Semitic and isolationist and Natzee “America First” label for decades, I’ve watched with amusement as the term became normalized and then skinsuited over the past decade.
Now it reaches its final form, as an Indian immigrant sitting in front of a laptop wearing a red baseball cap. Fantastic finish. I really have to give the folks who do this for a living a few slow claps.
The White guys who built Silicon Valley had no loyalty to their own people, they might have built HP and Apple and Intel and Microsoft (I know they’re not akshully in Silicon Valley) and Atari and all that but they were the first ones to sell out to foreign labor, outsourcing, and globalization all helped them increase profits. i once read that Silicon Valley is like 70% foreign at this point. That might be an exaggeration or misstated but it’s reasonable for an American to wonder why Americans benefit from it being there and not in Bangalore. Like what do… Read more »
I notice people are much more spirited about immigration when it doesn’t involve blacks from the South or refugees. IOW, Americans’ weak spots.
Fine, hammer it to make the larger point about immigration.
You’ve knocked it out of the park today! Brilliant thinking and beautifully stated.
This is unsurprising.
“It is tempting to call this feudalism, mostly because feudalism has an odor about it, but the feudal elite actually had a bond with the peasants. The feudal order started with the reciprocal relationships between the elites, but it also included vertical relations that bound the top to the bottom. The king had a duty to his people. In this age, the oligarch has no duty to his employees. They are mere economic units to be exploited in order to fulfil his obligations to his fellow shareholders.” Amen and thank you for this. Feudalism had it’s flaws. However our over… Read more »
Cheap labor is the Holy Grail of Capitalism. Musk 𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘭 can no more resist its allure than the wino can resist his bottle of muscatel. Tariffs and nationalism held the cheap labor monster at bay but the demise of one and the weakening of the other has turned it loose with a vengeance. The old pro-labor party gave up on American labor to import a new class of voters and get a new class of supporters: the rich. The pro-business party now serves a different sort of business: trans-national corporations.
I’ve worked as a programmer since I was 21 fresh out of college. I remember when the Indian craze started in the early 2000s. Before that, I worked at a very big tech company on a suite of products that had about 400 employees working on them. Almost 99% at the time were White. Most males, but probably about 10% women. What came out of it was some damned good software. Then the craze started, and it all went to shit. Fast forward 27 years and I’m here at my current job. Our company, like all others, desperately tries to… Read more »
Because the plotters are nerds, the error in the Trump skinsuit op is social, a failure to “read the room” as the Twitter girls all say. When you become Trump, we are freed to hate you—to the point of literal assassination. I heard that Elon and his friends received many, many wishes for deliveries from Luigi’s Restaurant yesterday. A Christmas miracle! The incoming administration’s police-state crackdown on “antisemitism” won’t make all of that go away. Of course Musk and Vance and Vivek et al. live behind a wall of cops—they’re libertarians!—so comeuppance won’t find them, but instead whatever “bro” (nerd)… Read more »
While Twitter and social media as a whole are not indicative of real life, the immediate and ferocious backlash against Sacks, Musk, and Co. is white pilling as hell. Younger people, particularly, have had enough. The fact this was floated before inauguration is the only surprise here outside of that intense response.
Aspirational and/or ethnic Jews before Indians.
And fail it will. Spectacularly.
You gotta admire the mental gymnastics [intellectual dishonesty] involved with David Sacks’ attempt to justify Sriram Krishnan’s appointment as “America First.” Regrettably, this is only one of so many more examples. In fact all of politics, at present all of it, has reached this foul depth. I wish David Sacks would have at least rationalized Sriram Krishnan’s appointment as “Globohomo First” (and thus a positive thing, of course). While this would be every bit as harmful and would stink every bit as much, at least then David Sacks would be honest and forthright about who and what he represents, and… Read more »
An easy way for him to justify it would to say there is a need for contrary voices or say that this guy may not be onboard with many things, but he is onboard with this one thing.
It is incredible to me that these tech bros are so tone deaf on this issue. They could have ignored the whole thing and saved themselves the trouble, but I suspect they thought MAGA was onboard with Infinity Hindus. Great example of how insulated these people are from the rest of us.
They did do some “battlespace prep,” the seemingly inexplicable (until the Christmas attack) invention of the “woke right” description of any non-leftist who recognizes systemic anti-whiteness. It seemed like an insular tantrum among the manufactured e-celebs of “the right flank of the left,” didn’t it? Today, Elon joined that rhetorical campaign against us. If Trump adopts “woke right,” the assassination plot (alternate ending) was a success.
Who’s been left out of the plan and reacted naturally to all this isn’t exactly the list I’d have predicted. Like Auron MacIntyre. Secretly based? Apparently.
Yeah… but why did King Sigismund allow Gypsies in Europe? Now that I think about it, the way gypsies flooded Europe is very reminiscent of the current invasion from the third world. Including the betrayal by elites. How long has this disconnect between the people and their rulers been going on?
Coincidentally, the Gypsies originally came from northern India. That said, I’m not sure their numbers were ever large enough to compromise Western civilization quite the way the current invaders do.
Their numbers were not enough to replace the existing populations, partly because their culture and lifestyle set their Malthusian limits lower than the native populations. However, their numbers were large enough to be a nuisance to distract the peasants.
Look up nuisance in Websters and there’s a pic of some crone weighted down with golden earrings, necklaces and bracelets, and garish shawls and headscarves.
“ In the end it must fail because American is not a corporation. It is a people.”
Or it is nothing.
A key word in the penultimate paragraph is “rational.” Unfortunately, when corporatism is a religion, the employee may well be a zealot. The ratio to rational vs. irrational is the question that can dictate a great deal of the future.
Motorized doorstops, lol.
If the cost of Elon getting to land on Mars is the complete destruction of America, I’m afraid he’s just going to have to settle for being the world’s first trillionaire.
Can’t he just build a “Mars simulator” in the desert or some dark hole instead?
Welcome to the Volkerwanderung https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Period
and as sense of life, we don’t want to share land with another tribe, reason that land belong to us is our ancestors fought and died for
what white people doing is a condemnation on their ancestors, and their children
Why white people are so stupid and immoral, give their power to Jews when they gonna treat white people as slaves or condoms that used and throw away?
The split during the mid Cold War was between a more Russian-friendly GOP and more China-leaning Democrats. Thus Pepsi went to Moscow and Coca-Cola went to Peking. During this time supposedly non-aligned India (read non-Marxist but anti-colonial, i.e. anti-Western) was seeking advantage between the two. US policy was generally pro-Pakistan, more so under Republicans. Yet GOP outreach to India kicked into high gear under W. At the time this was seen as a counterbalance to both Islam and China, but I wonder. I do not know much about either party’s approach with regard to either foreign or immigration policy during… Read more »
There have been many good posts on twitter on the immigration fracas, but for an eye opener, read the replies and comments. There are really a lot of young, very ticked off, white guys out there. They’ve done everything right, and get lied to and sent on their way. Trump got a lot of young people’s votes, and that’s the reason.
To be honest, who knows if it will work or not. Gut feeling is no but this is a radically different way to organize people than has ever been attempted in a nation state.
What will we do if it actually works, or doesn’t instantly collapse?
my greatest fear is this ends up somehow working better than the sort of mutated half method we have currently. Justifying its continued existence.
is it really that far off than what moldbug wanted with his “corporate state?” If we could just make a handful of the tech billionaires race realists….
This debacle isn’t on the elites, it is entirely on the shoulders of Trump and his supporters including the majority of the readers of this blog. Trump stabbed white people in the back for 4 years Trump told you explicitly that he wanted to vastly expand legal immigration including H1B Now you fools are butthurt that the “betrayal” that was telegraphed long in advance is happening. Looks like its now time for all the “dissident” influencers to act like rebel leaders again after grifting off of Trump during the campaign. You get what you deserve, and quite frankly I don’t… Read more »
Most people here have been skeptical or hostile towards Trump for a long time. This is not a boomer MAGA blog.
Worse, its a fake dissident blog. I respect Brietbart more for the honesty and lack of pretensions.
I watched how this place changed during the 2024 election, The majority of posters went from trashing Trump during 2017-2021 to actively cheering on his campaign in 2024.
No matter what you say during his 2nd term, I have no doubt the same fools will fall for some future kayfabe theater in the future.
NO REFUNDS!
You are hallucinating. Go away and never come back.
As someone who has been consistently hostile towards Trump, I can’t express how nice it’s been to be proven correct in my assertions, especially before he’s even been inaugurated. What I can’t understand is your insolence. Have some magnanimity and act like you’ve been right before at some point during your miserable existence.
Insolence?
When Zman tells people to delete themselves, there is every justification for insolence.
True. I’m guessing around half of us didn’t even vote. Hardly a ringing endorsement of Trump.
Interesting that the only time you hear from these (trolls?) folk are when they are defaming the group they are posting in. All the time boasting of their moral superiority and the lack of ours as if we don’t even deserve their scorn, much less their “wisdom and guidance”. Sigh…
”…full of sound and fury, signifying nothing…”
Has Mr. Musk noticed what happened to S.Africa after the 3rd world took over?
Nope, he’s D.D. Harriman, The Man Who Sold The Moon (Mars…).
I’d have to double check but I think the Kamala supporter bit might’ve been just another Indian with the same name. https://x.com/hodgetwins/status/1872084727676727724
Nothing changes until the environment changes. And time is running out on the Ponzi scheme, so they need to act fast with CBDC because once free money ends and real hardship returns, the plebs are going to go berserk. Collapse, chaos, and fog begets a flourishing of Luigis armed with cheap DYI drones equipped with hunter-seeker AI. That is the only form of accountability with a chance to motivate real change. And it only takes a few hits to start the stampede. Now is the time to substitute planning for pissing & moaning.
One of your best. After all the nonsense about Christianity, I wondered if it was worthwhile to read this blog. Posts like this convince me to do it.
Ask for a full refund. The button is on the top right 🙂
