A recurring feature of human society is the class of people who set themselves apart from the rest of society to function as the keepers of public morality. They usually set themselves apart through self-denial, which is a way of showing themselves to be purer than the rest of the lot. It is thought that the Jewish prohibition on eating pork, for example, is a way to set the Jewish people apart from the rest of the people by abstaining from what was considered a dirty animal.
This is why every religion has both dietary laws and prohibitions on certain types of common behavior. It may be that these only apply to the holy men, as was common in the pre-Christian world. They can also be standards against which people measure themselves, as in the Christian world. The ancient shaman was someone expected to sublimate his urges as a sign of his purity. Christians, of course, have many rules that are guides for adhering to Christian ethics.
In the post-Christian age, the priestly class follows a similar pattern. The people we call the managerial elite and their performative proxies in the media have many ways of demonstrating their purity. In fact, we have the phrase “purity spiral” to describe when a group of these people engage in a competition in which they try to prove they are the purest of the bunch. Many of the moral panics over the last decades have been the result of purity spirals that spun out of control.
The public act of piety is another feature of human society. The great man may not be in the priestly class, but he could show his piety by supporting them in some way or by engaging in a public ritual directed by the priestly class. Scipio Africanus was famous for his public acts of piety, which he used to inoculate himself against claims of civic impropriety and corruption. In the Christion era, great men would build cathedrals and monasteries to demonstrate their fidelity to the Church.
We see the same thing in this age. Public figures kneeling in front of the cameras, allegedly in solidarity with the blacks, was no different than the ancients sacrificing a bull to the gods. When they forced their employees to kneel, it was another way of signaling their virtue to each other and the rest of us. The Covid panic, in many respects, was nothing more than a purity spiral among the managerial elite. It is why it had so many outward symbols of obedience to the god of Covid.
Another aspect of this is that the people performing these rituals in public or setting themselves apart through self-denial is that they probably do not think too much about the truth of this stuff. The kneelers did not think much about it at all. They just assumed that they had to show their fidelity to that which everyone else in their class was now sure would provide forgiveness. They were kneeling in order to gain forgiveness on behalf of the sinners called the masses.
You see it in this strange clip of the newly elected leader of Canada. His first public statement after the election is about Gaia. “We have an enormous opportunity to bring climate change into the heart of every financial decision.” After some meaningless managerial drivel, he then promises, “We can deliver the net zero world that you’ve demanded, and that our future generations deserve.” He is saying that he will lead his people to the promised land of salvation.
Of course, his faith is not in God, in the Christian sense, but in people like himself who show themselves as our superior by believing in boutique ideas like climate change and a “net-zero world.” In the ancient world, the priestly class would identify themselves with ornaments on their person. In the Christian age, the priest has an easily recognizable costume. In this age, the priestly class sets itself apart from the rest of us by babbling about nonsense things like climate change.
Note that in this age, the pointlessness of the belief is important. Jews not eating fish or seafood had some practical benefit. Cleanliness had utility. The rituals of the Christian churches provided a way to bind the people to one another in a common ethical framework and common purpose. Other than setting the believer apart, the boutique beliefs of our self-declared priests are pointless. The sanctification of George Floyd appealed to our betters because of its absurdity.
Another reason why holy men find ways to set themselves apart as purer, cleaner, and less human than the rest is they have an underlying contempt for man. The shaman is always warning about the dangers of enjoying life. The priest is always looking for a sinner to torment. The modern clerisy is always seeking some way to display their contempt for the pleasures of regular people. They set themselves apart by setting themselves above that which they despise, their fellow man.
It is why the modern priests are more lethal than those of the past. They inherited the Christian distain for this world and the joys within it. Then they bolted onto it a class consciousness based in contempt for the people over whom they rule. Add in the minority’s natural paranoia and the result is a ruling class that seems to be hellbent on pulling the roof down on Western society. It is not that they hate you. They hate everyone, but they really hate you.

There’s one particular public act of piety and virtue signaling that’s the strangest of all, and that involves White people and hating themselves as a race.
Indeed. And strangely enough, most race traitors aren’t even aware of their treason. For instance, I write for a college sports website whose subscribers are almost all Grillers. They’re just ordinary white men aged 30 to 75. One thing I’ve noticed about them is that when they single out a player from an opposing basketball team for online abuse, it is almost always one of the few white guys on that team. There are plenty of nuggras whose appearance and behavior are far more obnoxious than the white guy’s, but the Grillers nevertheless home in on whitey. If I called… Read more »
As a longtime follower of college basketball (not as much recently, because…you know…) I can’t agree with you more about the weird hatred of white players coming from grillers. On message boards when they talk about a player having a “punchable face,” every single time it’s a white player.
Yep. The “punchable face” of the white guy is the primary trope of this anti-white sports phenomenon.
There could be several things at play. I think subconscious jealousy has something to do with it–these grillers are, at some level, jealous of the white athletes they say they hate, while they aren’t jealous of black athletes, no matter how rich or lauded they are, because they’re black.
It could also speak to some ingrained assumption that they might get away with punching a white guy, while the mere thought of punching a black guy inspires fear, either from the guy himself, the law, or society at large.
Well, there is quite possibly a fear of being called a racist for daring to even look crosseyed at any nuggra.
You are belittling them unjustly. The majority who were “forced” to take the jab did so not because they were afraid of being called “anti-science”, but rather that their jobs were the only way of putting food on the table.
It’s easy for us old farts to deride those who thought they had few options, when in truth, many of them did not. But it’s wrong to end the story there. It should be the goal to make sure the next generation doesn’t have to choose between providing for their families or standing for “principle”.
Huh? I’m belittling race traitors who trash white athletes and worship negroes, not guys who got the clot shot in order to keep a roof over their head.
It’s like it’s become part of their dna never to utter a critical word about the magical negroes – truly astonishing.
Fair enough, but anyone from Duke should be subject to abuse. Just kiddin’, almost
But it’s always the white Duke players who receive the abuse going back to Christian Laettner, and then JJ Redick, Jon Scheyer, Grayson Allen, etc. The black Duke players get a pass like Grant Hill, Jabari Parker, Zion Williamson etc. It’s more that Duke tends to have more white players than most other programs. Iowa is the same way. Big 10 white boomer fans hate those Iowa white guys.
Incidentally, Scheyer is a Finkel.
He’s trans? /sarc
Scheyer being Finkel and yet still getting hate brings up a point that Finkels, for all of their hating on Whites, are and are going to be perceived as White going forward into multiethnic-land.
No doubt. The fact that they look so white has put a target on their backs and there’s nothing they can do about it.
Tom Brady, too. He was probably the most hated QB in NFL history because he was so good and so white.
Especially by his whore wife.
“These fools have so internalized the demonization of the white race that it is as much a part of their core being as their Christianity and their patriotism.”
Exactly! A fish doesn’t know it swims in water.
Yes. These whites are like all people status seekers. We on this site are unusual. For some reason, we put higher principles above status. We must at some level understand that this evil system’s status is not a real status. It is a denigration. For whites, power makes very clear what is the lowest and most repulsive and undesirable thing in the society. It is white men. Thus, it follows that for a white man to signal his desire to maintain his status and his standing in the system, his only option is to defame white men. This way he… Read more »
“And that is why we need a triumphant video.”
I don’t think it’s all that dark out there. We can’t afford the deadweight, so they will be cut loose. Stein’s Law: “If something cannot go on forever, it will end.”
I’m not so much sure that it’s authority you need, but control. Not control over others — followers will submit anyway. Start small with power over yourself, then your household, and keep expanding so far as you are able. You are right. If we own the company, we don’t have to worry about being outsourced or offshored.
I brought this up yesterday I think it was re: white people being utterly submerged in negrophilia. Was at youth baseball tournaments all weekend and have noticed how common miscegenation has become among white suburban women. But it’s also everywhere, this complete lack of cultural awareness. Again, at baseball games, I notice every kid’s walk up song is some ghetto rap, it’s just as some wise man called it, “the dismal tide.” I wanted to slap the white men coaches because for heaven’s sake, have a little self-respect and respect for your people. But like Ostei says below, these people… Read more »
What can you say about the cuckery of Canadians? So the Liberal Party that has swamped the country with endless Indian immigration and raised taxes on everything got reelected because it was a “nationalistic” reaction to Trump’s ridiculous notion that we’ll annex the Great White North. What an insane narrative from the legacy media, but what a stupid move by the Canucks. Net zero is insanity. With everything “environmental,” it’s always a way to impoverish the middle classes and limit what our betters consider luxury items such as reliable electricity, meat, V-8 or V-6 powered cars and trucks to the… Read more »
If you cannot make renewable energy work in Iberia, where it’s both sunny and windy, it’s not going to work anywhere outside the tropics. Old, disused windmills dot the Portuguese countryside. They’re a quaint reminder of the benefits of internal combustion.
Another red flag against solar energy are the long list of failed large-scale projects in North Africa and the US desert Southwest.
There was an excellent piece at ZeroHedge yesterday (I know) about what happened in Spain, and I was surprised to see quite a few comments from Spanish and Portuguese at a few comment threads I skimmed on YT videos. Essentially, what happened in Spain was quite similar to what happend in Texas – renewable sources of power malfunctioned (in Spain supposedly due to resonance) and they didn’t have sufficient sources to restart the grid from the ‘black.’ All coal/oil/nuclear sources have been shut down. Three of the five hydro power stations were down for maintenance simultaneously. And this is not… Read more »
Oddly enough, that very same night on the US gulf coast, I experienced at least 3 separate brief power outages, and an internet outage the next morning.
All private transportation will be outlawed eventually, including bicycles. You can ride one to any place of your choosing. There will be no such places, so what do you need one for? Fitness? Leisure? Nature? All white supremacy. And everyone knows the only way to have a bike is racism: staying away from blacks. Is the world clown enough to say so outright? Soon it will be.
Solution is still the same. Reduce the lunatics to shrieking in their padded rooms. Whatever it takes to get the pointy ends to stand down is justified. Whatever it takes.
Reminds me of the mask thing during covid. “I am wearing this to protect all of you!” shouted Karen. Don’t forget, “… if it saves one life…” that one’s a banger and can apply to almost anything fun.
The mask regime during Covid was possibly the most invidious perversion of common sense that I’ve experienced in my 54 years. In the spring of 2020, they gave all 500 of us at my place of work a t-shirt inscribed “I wear my mask to protect you, please wear yours to protect me!” I immediately draped mine onto the garbage can nearest our HR Karens. To this day I still loudly mutter “faggot” to myself when I see someone donning a face diaper.
Funniest anecdote I had from Covid era:
Very early on in the mask hysteria, young construction worker with scarf mask labeled “this is bullshit.” Rare laugh from that time.
I was required to wear a mask in the pressbox for football games in 2020. I printed “mask hysteria” on mine.
There was an early requirement here in Az from Walmart requiring mask wearing. The problem was there was no description of the mask to be used (assumed I guess). This actually was common among early adopters of mandatory mask wearing. The response was a number of “malcontents” who wore goalie masks or paint ball masks into the stores. (For those not familiar, these masks are really little more than large holed grills to keep hokey pucks or paint balls from breaking your teeth.). 😉
Here in Southern Utah, ze masks were everywhere. Figured this was bullshite. The worse mask Nazis was Costco in St. George with Kroger in Cedar City right behind. Within a few months I learned to put on a cheap very thin face gaiter, easy to breathe through and holes damn near big enough to allow a rampaging badger to rip through. Don’t ever mess with badgers. I’d hook my gaiter onto my chin and 3 times in a few minutes had Costco Nazis descend on me waving and roaring to pull my mask up. I did, then pulled it down… Read more »
I had a young nerd come up on me, no mask … gets in my face … while wearing this stupid name tag, ‘six feet’ so I 2 finger chest poke him, “back up” and leave laughing.
If I had had an old WWI gas mask, I would have worn that with tremendous bemusement. I’m sure others would not have appreciated my attempt at humor.
IIRC, some guy wore a cross-burning hood inside a store and it nearly caused several coronaries amongst the clientele. The police were called and for all I know they may still be looking for him. No one can deny the mass formation psychosis was a golden age of comedic opportunity within our demographic.
What a time to work at a bank, as my wife did. They quickly made all ordinary transactions drive-through only; otherwise you needed an appointment. But at the start of the psychosis, and in its dying last weeks, you could (indeed were required to) enter the bank masked. The irony of it was just too much. Bank tellers are trained to look at the faces of anyone who walks in, to learn names of regular customers quickly, and in general to have situational awareness.
After all these years, the colossal stupidity of it all still beggars the imagination.
It was a truly awesome time! I usually only use ATMs, but I availed myself of every opportunity to open carry into a bank while wearing a mask. They even provided them at the door (masks, not guns, I mean), or I probably wouldn’t have bothered. Would have raised an eyebrow somewhere other than my small town, though…
I was really pissed that monkey pox never took off. I was really looking forward to wearing a gorilla suit in my local supermarket.
I wanted to wear a full body condom like in The Naked Gun.
Do you happen to know if anyone wore one of those medieval bird-mask things? I hope someone, somewhere, did so. What a hoot that would have been.
A “hoot” indeed…
We missed our sales opportunity!
“Plague doctor” masks, those beaked horrors from the Middle Ages.
I visited London last week and there are still quite a few assholes wearing masks. And nearly all of the cretins wear them below their noses.
Around here the Illegal ‘my grantz’ still often wear them.
I’ve noticed that many of the suspects depicted in the photos or videos accompanying police requests for the public’s help identifying them are wearing masks.
Mask mania has been a real boon for the criminal element wanting to elude the surveillance state.
And this is why those idiotic hoodies were all the rage. Now it’s just nuggra hoodlum chic.
I’m not a particularly brave person but I stuck a mask on by back windscreen with the word “merde” (my language) on it. I just couldn’t take anymore of this BS. I lost a bit of business but gained a lot of nice comments too. I will never ever forget how many human beings behaved during that time. Never.
Here in Berserkeley/Oakland I still a folks every few days wearing masks while walking or even biking outside.
I work on a college campus in Texas and a few of my fellow employees still wear the damned things. I won’t even say “hi” to them.
When I am accosted by one, I mirror their mumbling.
I sometimes went into the stores in my smoked out motorcycle helmet. Usually, though, no mask.
I still own my “Let’s Go Brandon” face mask. One I saw, and wish I had, said “mandatory face diaper”. That was awesome. Saw the guy wearing that in an auto parts store; gave him two thumbs up.
I played handball with a bunch of guys outdoors, leader of the group said, “bs” when no one would play OUTDOORS. Sent a note to group, one guy went berserk, “global pandemic” and all. We occasionally, on a sunny day, would have some nut slow down and scream at us… men, by the way. We would wave the one fingered salute, get the fuck out of here. Another buddy played outdoors in (Big City). Cops padlocked courts. Guys cut the lock. Cops come by, ‘get outta here’ … re-padlock. Process repeated, cops finally leave them alone. Too bad most’men’ pussied… Read more »

Of all the obnoxious purity theatrics we were subjected to during that time, I think the ne plus ultra was a face mask that read, I have been fully vaccinated. You’re welcome. Worn by a convenience store clerk, no less.
They finally made masking “optional” in my place of work this Monday after 5 years. I was glad (and somewhat surprised) to see that almost everyone chose not to keep wearing them.
Good heavens! Do you work in Hell’s HR office?
If only. I’m still inundated by “Masks Encouraged” signs flashing on all public transportation, fresh “we’re all in this together” posters plastered all over town, and tons of masked up people driving alone with the windows rolled up. That’s why I’m surprised at how many in my building actually stopped wearing them when given the choice.
Masks this late? What’s your city? Is it a college town?
Most of my beliefs have been set in stone for decades, but late in life Covid vanquished what little illusion I retained about the nature of man. Sadistic herd animals are the worst herd animals.
Sadistic herd animal is it exactly. They must be brutally checked or they’ll strip every shred of freedom from you and call it ‘helping’. This potential always lurks in certain segments of society, like ticks on grass blades, waiting opportunity to latch on to the latest hysteria so as to unleash their Inner Commandante.

The same. If the Covidiocy didn’t imbue you with at least a tincture of misanthropy, you’re an oblivious bozo, i.e. the sort of person who went along willingly and unthinkingly with the Great Fraud.
As has been said, most people deserve (want) to be enslaved. So much so that we (you, me, this comment group)—if not enslaving or accepting enslavement are deemed to be insane. Covid was indeed such a test for us.
…Sallust
Yep. Look at who the Canucks just voted in. Apparently, 7 (?) years of being face punched every day by a globalist faggot wasn’t long enough.
The COVID tyranny offered a huge opportunity for awakening. It exposed the elite’s mechanisms of control and conformity, teaching us lessons we are obligated to act on and share with others. It was a GIFT.
Similarly, I often tell my Russian wife that the Ukraine conflict has been a gift for Russia. It woke Russians up to the globalist agenda aiming to erode their national identity, uniting Russians against a shared enemy and strengthening their resolve to protect their sovereignty and culture. They actually stand a chance now to preserve their people and Orthodoxy.
The war has pushed the Russians I know, who are more leftist than average, into the arms of Putin, so to speak.
What that means is they’ve taken on his attitude that the real enemy isn’t the West that attacks Russia but the Westerners who oppose globohomo: us “nazis” in America, and the European “far right.”
These people I know were normal smug atheist commies ten years ago. Putin has Americanized them, given them religion—his American religion: antifascism, anti-“white nationalism,” anti-whiteness.
While rootin’, don’t forget that he would have every one of us imprisoned for blasphemy (racism).

Breaking news: Vladimir Putin just renamed Volgograd for Saint Joseph Djugashvili:

It was the airport, not the city. To celebrate 80 years since victory over the invaders.
This is correct. OP please get fact straight before posting.
Too many Americans don’t make effort to grok Russian attitudes toward the Soviets.
The point is that the airport is named for the Siege of and victory at Stalingrad, not Stalin as a man.
Similarly the Victory Banner they march with on May 9 is there because it’s the banner under which they defeated an enemy which would have enslaved and eventually erased them as a people.
Same here, and I was already very cynical.
“…if it saves one life…”
My favorite “pet peeve”. No benefit in this world is devoid of cost. Life is little more than a continuous cost/benefit analysis. The people saying this are on the “left side of the curve”. Analysis—intellectual contemplation—is beyond them.
Why peanuts are banned in so many places. Hey, my own grandson supposedly has a peanut allergy (I’m not convinced; his mother had him tested when very young). Hey – your health and allergies are your problem, not society’s. Only the insane organize all institutions based on the outliers – and all of the ‘West’ is insane.
I used to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch in elementary school all the time in the 1970s and in middle school and high school in the 80s. Peanut allergies were nearly unheard of. Bringing any kind of peanut butter to school was perfectly normal. My high school had peanut products in vending machines. Now it is almost entirely banned.
WHY are peanut allergies so common in children now? Or is it really? Is it lack of exposure?
How many jabs did babies get when you were born? How many jabs do babies get now? Also i think the food supply has been so cheapened with artificial bullshit, that might have something to do with it.
Possibly. It’s also possible that so-called “peanut allergies” are largely an invention of the medical industry, and a very lucrative one at that.
Same difference really, create the problem, control the solution. What does that remind you of? Covid perhaps?
Tars Tarkas: “WHY are peanut allergies so common in children now? Or is it really? Is it lack of exposure?“
Because the j00z have existentially sh!tty immune systems [owing to 5000 years of inbreeding] and are deathly afraid of peanuts.
Peanuts are to j00z as Garlic is to Vampires.
And are suhciety is now awash in j00z & various mischling products of miscegenation.
I love me some Adams Crunchy peanut butter! Yum!
When marginal peoples–negroes, Jews, perverts, lunatics, etc.–are brought to the center, and normal people are pushed to the margins, a state of social insanity exists. This describes the West.
You’re knocking it out of the park today.
I must have had a good night’s sleep.
“Only the insane organize all institutions based on the outliers – and all of the ‘West’ is insane.” Following right behind these institutions are people who demand others bend to their “needs”. As I once mentioned, we had a child in a school that sent home a letter requesting that all lunches brought by their children be examined for foods containing “peanut” additives or cooked in such oils and that these no longer be provided! The rationale was that a new student had enrolled that had such an allergy and that the mere *breath* of another student who had imbibed… Read more »

Yet the same people who gasp with horror over the presence of said legumes and go out of their way to cook vegan dishes for their virtue signalling friends will ABSOLUTELY NOT believe you if you are allergic to their “Fur Baby”. You’re just faking the wheezing and hives, of course!
In retrospect I made a wise decision to disassociate with those kinds.
The fact that it was entirely ineffective just increased their own joy. Being forced to utter obvious lies brings them great joy.
They will still defend it now to this day. I have friends i still argue with over the jab, the fact that i didn’t take it and i’m not dead or sick often doesn’t phase them. Some of them claim now that it wasn’t right for companies or the government to force it on people, but a lot of good that does. They’ll act exactly the same in the next “crisis”.
Of course you are entirely correct when you say they will behave the same in the next crisis. But I was speaking more of the masks. Absolutely nobody was using N91 masks. Every person I ever saw in public wearing a mask was wearing a paper or fabric mask. This is like trying to keep bees off of your property with a chain link fence. No virus of any kind will be stopped with such a mask. It’s like it’s not even there. Everywhere was sold out of N95 masks by the time covid went mainstream. Even the paper masks… Read more »

Tars Tarkas: “Being forced to utter obvious lies brings them great joy.“
Both Jesus Christ and George Orwell were highly cognizant of that phenomenon.
The Power of Lies.
The thrill of forcing a man to accept the Lie, to kowtow before the Lie, to prostate himself before the Lie, to be infatuated with the Lie, to believe the Lie, to worship the Lie, to become the Lie.
I fully agree. They want you to mouth the lie so you come to believe the lie. Lying is very bad for the soul. They serve their father, the Father of Lies.
Believe it or not New York just found a sacred cause of moral purity that superseded the mask piety. They just banned wearing masks if you’re committing the crime of offending the Jews.
I shit you not.
They actually passed an anti-mask law because of all the pro-Gaza students at NYU and Columbia wrapping keffiyahs around their faces while protesting the Jewish war crimes in Gaza:
Hochul, NY lawmakers reach agreement on mask-wearing criminals
Wearing a mask to avoid detection while committing rape, murder, arson and robbery, no problem. Wearing one to avoid detection while criticizing Israel, big problem.
Well, alright…
During the Covid regime I carried around a ski mask. Whenever someone told me I had to wear a mask, I took out the ski mask and pulled it over my head so that only my eyes were showing. The irony was always hilarious. My bank required a mask, so I always went in with the ski mask on and carrying a backpack. In normal times they would have suspected a robber, but during the Covid regime the robber look was the new normal.

I have been observing my leftist friends and i am coming to the conclusion that I might be the ” fascist” they seem to hate.
Yea, me who goes to church and trys to treat others as he treats himself.
These people are going to have to be seperated from normal society.
Yeah, the ruling “elite”, their lapdog media and the sizable portion of the hoi poloi they brainwash absolutely must be culled from the herd, so to speak.
One of the main problems with normies is that they literally can’t grok the fact that the phrase, “anonymous sources,” really means, “a bunch of BS just made up by our scriptwriters.”
Sort of. My in-laws realize that when CNN says “anonymous sources” , they mean, “random bullshit” but not when Fox News cites their “anonymous sources”.
Now to be fair, Fox doesn’t do that nearly as often. Their sources generally want name recognition, even if it’s only after the fact.
How are you able to have leftist friends? Seriously. Friendship involves trust. How can you trust a leftist? They will blow you in in a heartbeat if the conditions are right.
Keep your friends close but your enemies closer. That way you know who they are when its time for the camps. They want to know who we are, it works both ways.
Because most of them aren’t “leftist”, they juts go along with what they perceive to be popular. When you go to the bar on thursdays, and a guy who has professed to you that he is a communist is complaining about the stock market going down………………… Well i suppose that explains alot
This is the age of fraud
Read about the lefty revolutions of the past.
If and when the time comes, your “lefty friends” will put a bullet through your head and do so gladly.
G Gordon Liddy: “These people are going to have to be seperated from normal society.”
If they’re v@xxed, then circa 2040ish, they’ll either be dead, or else their descendants [children & grandchildren] will largely be sterile [unable to produce live births of healthy children].
Apparently that was Albert Bourla’s signature discovery; a slow but persistently insidious encroachment of multigenerational infertility until the entire herd [both ewes and rams] were rendered barren.
Lefties and libs engage in magical thinking, mostly because they are completely sheltered from the reality that 70 years of rampant materialism has smothered them in. That is now ending and Mr Reality will have the final word.
The term “faggot” has become a daily staple for me, far more than when I was a kid. That’s because I see so many grown ass men who “#standwithUkraine”, pander to feminism, suck globalist c*ck, and bandwagon to the shitlib cause du jour. These boutique beliefs, as Z-Man highlights, are less about conviction and more about signaling submission to the managerial elite’s moral posturing.
In the immortal words of one long ago Z-commenter, “if there’s crazy, there’s usually pussy involved.”
Unless you’re a truly self-dealing rat bastard like Mark Carnage in Canada. He’s getting rich on foreign energy contracts, so he’s suppressing Canadian energy production to boost his offshore contracts.
I notice that about all the oligarchs; whether manufacturing, energy, food, or pharma, selling out whatever country they’re operating in is to benefit their profits made somewhere else.
With me it’s even more simple: 60 year old men wearing man-buns.
“the boutique beliefs of our self-declared priests are pointless. The sanctification of George Floyd appealed to our betters because of its absurdity” The absurdity is a great loyalty test because it is guaranteed to get a WTF? from normal people. However, boutique beliefs aren’t pointless. They have been shown to be very effective at: 1. Making money for the wealthy and other powerful people. Climate change has particularly been a bonanza for climate researchers and both the tech elites and Wall Street 2. Amassing more power for the already powerful. Every moral panic features a solution to take away more… Read more »

There’s a cycle to this. In prehistory, we had the simple Right of Conquest. As we evolved, religion and agriculture progressed, so we got the Divine Right of Kings. Complexity grew, so we evolved rights and consent – Magna Carta etc. Of course, Ghengis Khan et al. still stuck to the old-fashioned Right of Conquest. I would argue that today’s Ruling Elites just recycled Ghengis’ philosophy. They ride private jets, yachts instead of horses, scattering their enemies. We bleat about Jesus or “muh rights”; they don’t GAF and trample whomever impedes them. The veneer of Gaia worship or “the open… Read more »
Absolutely. At a certain level the power flex is at least as strong of a motivation as deranged religiosity. As hackneyed a phrase at it is, power truly is the ultimate aphrodisiac, and sociopathy is its highest form. Once upon a time First Night permitted the lords to rape the female peasantry, but like so much else that has been outsourced to Third World monsters, and the current vicarious nature probably intensifies the sexual release. Starving and freezing people is of a piece.
Evil is quite real.
That is an extremely vivid indictment of the elites. And, alas, an accurate one, too.
Yes. It is interesting. They also have a self affirming wing of their religion. It is the ingenious Canon of Self-Help and the Law of Manifesting. They take a truism, that your outlook and belief can shape your life, and turn it into a clever two-way power play. They have made it by selling garden variety truisms with a lot of charisma and a dispossessed people desperate to believe they have control. You see they became rich because their minds are special and powerful and manifested this abundance. For the next 10 seminars at only $12000 you too can unlock… Read more »
A good essay but I don’t think the Covidiocy fits in with the priestly schema. The Covid craze was not about a social sect isolating itself from society by ritualistic performativity. On the contrary, it was a classic case of mass hysteria that was capitalized upon by the secular priests. The masses–a good 80 percent of them, anyway–went stark raving bonkers and then the clerics fashioned rituals–triple masks, social distancing, bathing in sanitizer, etc.–to channel the hysteria into a mainstream religion whose object of veneration was the state and its medical apparatus. In consequence, the state became more powerful, although… Read more »
Right, but I think the High Priests certainly amplified and encouraged the hysteria, even if they didn’t foment it, which they may have anyway. We still don’t know exactly what happened and the precise sequence of events. I think your analysis fits better with the St George F. events than with Covid. That said, I agree completely that the objective of all these episodes is furthering the deification of the State.
The High Priests also fell victim to their own hysteria. Not all, but many of The Elect took the Pfizer poison and paid for it.
Very succinct summary of the Vid. In the early months of 2020 I told friends and family the same thing- this has all the hall marks of mass hysteria. Of course I wasn’t taken seriously, but I knew it didn’t add up when the park down the street had the playground yellow taped off because this new dEaDly virus could live on surfaces outdoors, for daaaaaays. I knew then it was fake and gay so while walking the dog at night I tore down the tape, a crime against the state that probably would have earned jail time. The tape… Read more »

The high percentage of blithering idiots is an indictment of God
Jeffrey Zoar: “The high percentage of blithering idiots is an indictment of God”
We don’t need to go full bore sacrilegious here; we can simply honor the insights of Saint Vilfredo Pareto, and confess that 80% of the population needs to be led around be their nose rings…
Unfortunately, that also means that we 20%-ers are responsible for protecting the well-being of the 80%.
Mind you, I have zero patience for the tired and retarded tropes about “a just and loving God would not allow X to happen.” However, there is no getting around His responsibility for this critical mass of humanity being dumb as posts from birth.
Jeffrey Zoar: “this critical mass of humanity being dumb as posts from birth“
It’s the duty of the 20% to pull the 80% away from the edge of the cliff, and back into the safety of the meadow.
The 20% must be the shepherds of the 80%, else the 80% will perish.
“The 20% must be the shepherds of the 80%, else the 80% will perish.”
And?
Steve: “And?“ It is our duty, we Amygdala-dominant-thinkers, the 20%, to protect [as best we can] the 80%, the Insula-dominant-lunatics, from their own innate lunacy. Obviously, we’re not always successful. In fact, concerning the V@xxpocalypse, we were woefully unsuccessful in our attempts to warn the 80% about the existential danger of the V@xxines. The 80% needed us, but we failed them. The dominant media narrative was simply too enticing, too enthralling, too exquisite for the 80% to be able to ignore. Now all we can do is to try our best to breed solely with fellow Pureblooded 20%-ers, and forbid… Read more »
Questions: Is God responsible for everything in his creation for eternity? If so, is there a place for human responsibilty?
Blaming human stupidity on God is almost as dumb as blaming it on advanced civilization. God provided living creatures with evolutionary mechanisms to avoid everything going extinct the moment He gave humanity dominion over the earth which would allow us to drastically change environments. To speak to our current situation, America has gone to great lengths to make her population stupid, complacent and compliant. The public education system goes without saying, but Hollywood culture, offshoring industry, and the social costs of mass migration are significant factors too. Then there is direct poison by often malicious actors. Scientists believed America’s IQ… Read more »
The entire event was one of the most evil things to have ever occurred, and I am not being hyperbolic. From a purely anthropological stand point, it is fascinating and should be studied in great detail. But it won’t be because that would cause some inconvenient truths to surface, and we can’t have the proles getting restless. I was actually surprised for awhile that someone who’s life and family was destroyed hasn’t put Fauci on a lamp post, but then I see things like that Metcalf kid’s dad genuflecting before his son’s murderer and then I realize yeah, we’re all… Read more »
Anthropological is right. As the West grows ever more primitive and irrational, I feel more and more like Bronislaw Malinowski sojourning among the Melanesians. And let me tell ya’–it’s no picnic!
It’s no picnic when you’re the main course.
OT: Those Filipinos who were mown down by a crazed Chinese in a vehicle at a street festival in Vancouver were celebrating Lapu-Lapu. Lapu-Lapu’s claim to fame is that he ate Ferdinand Magellan.
What’s amazing is that, apart from the occasional hand-wringing article about “long covid”, the whole thing has disappeared down the memory hole. Is this because people realise they were conned and feel too embarrassed to talk about it, or because they still believe the official narrative and see it as a battle that they fought and won and that is now a part of history?
Robbo: “Is this because people realise they were conned and feel too embarrassed to talk about it, or because they still believe the official narrative and see it as a battle that they fought and won and that is now a part of history?“
Goodness only knows what transpires in the minds of the Normies.
I certainly can’t decode the Normie mindset [unless maybe I were to immerse myself in 24×7 Talmudvision psy-ops for several decades].
The fact that most of society decided to deny the fact that the UV rays in sunlight absolutely slaughter viruses on surfaces was one of my main tip offs that the entire coof episode was a scam.
“The masses–a good 80 percent of them, anyway–went stark raving bonkers”
Was it, though? Where I live, it was top-down fanaticism. The local churches through pastor or sometimes council decreed that the church was closed, or assigned seating, every other pew. (Catholics blindly obeyed the Pope.) Most ignored it until the county commissioners (all 3) decided that we must mask, and even then, most ignored them. Except big boxes and schools (including colleges), where it initially was enforced with mailed fist, but before long, sheep begged to be allowed to don the Codpiece of St. Fauci.
The fanatics may have been concentrated at the apex of the Covid hierarchy, but the masses were, in the main, pathetic sheep. The evil herding the stupid.
Truth. Kinda brutal, I know, but that’s why I’m not overly concerned about the 80% stampeding off the cliff. Just stay out of their way, I figure. There will be a whole lot less of them for the evil to whip into a frenzy.
I hear in retrospect a lot of people saying they were against it all along -just like nearly all Germans, apparently, were against Hitler. But that didn’t stop the bastards going along with it. And that makes them as culpable as the psychopaths pushing the whole thing.
My sister’s parish was founded in the 1800’s by Polish immigrants and there’s a large painting of John Paul II hanging up front, with the inscription “Do Not Be Afraid!” Yet during the covid era they had alternating pews blocked off by masking tape, and all the bushas peered out accusingly at their fellow parishoners from above their masks.
Lately I’ve noticed libertarians testing a new revision of the covid hysteria, claiming it was a purely “bottom up” phenomenon, that politicians only lied about everything and claimed new powers because you demanded it. The fact that they all flagrantly violated their own rules proves it. The rules were for you—a gift. Mask and vaccine mandates, SWAT-gear cops putting their rifle sights on girls sleeping on beaches, etc., were exemplary right-populism. Proof: Tucker Carlson wrote a letter to Trump, worried about the virus. You like Tucker, right? Media man of the people? Q.E.D. In a year they’ll be saying that… Read more »
It was certainly mass hysteria and the “madness of crowds” but I believe it was also a desperate attempt to fill the vacuum at the heart of modern people. Many seemed to feel it was the Great Cause they’d been missing for so long. “Climate change” didn’t fit the bill because even the sheep don’t want to tighten their belts and pretend to like Greta von Thunberg. No, Covid was very much a “We’re all this together!” kind of moment. I even heard people in England talking about the return of the Blitz spirit.
That explanation has also been used to explain why the Boomers supported the so-called “civil rights movement” so fanatically. Ostensibly, they were jealous that their parents had a great cause–mashing Mustache Man and his minions–and so latched onto deifying negroes and condemning their own people as theirs. There’s probably something to it.
You lads really are on fire today.
If only we could refashion the passion into extolling the rise of the White Man.
As Creation’s design made us to be, I add.
This fire-in-the-belly is what motivates the Semites: both halves see themselves as bringing their God to the world. (Jews and Muslims.)
That is, to manifest in the world as the dominance of their peoples.
Wait, what? Isn’t He already here? Then we Whites must be the Nephilim, the Fallen, the angels who brought death to mankind.
It’s funny, in a perverse sort of way how the old 1970’s environmentalist fags have morphed into the oh so sanctimonious climatards of the current age. As if Canada going totally net zero is going to have any impact on world wide weather patterns – what a freaking joke. And sure, plastering giant propellers and fields of solar panels everywhere is undoubtedly eco friendly, right? It’s looking highly likely that Spain’s massive power outage was due to their over reliance on their climate loving “natural” power production. These people gotta go…
Meanwhile, China forges ahead with various forms of nuclear energy development. I know they are Communist in name, but they seem National Socialist in practice.
Yep. As much as I dislike the CCP I must say they seem to “like” their country and promote its growth and strength. Very National Socialist of them. China first, everyone else second. That coupled with the Chinese culture makes them a formidable adversary.
Recent Headline: “China has given the green light for the construction of 10 new nuclear reactors, with total investment expected to reach $27 billion.” Our masters would prefer that money be spent on munitions for Israel’s imperial ambitions. Sorry America, no nuclear power for you! PRIORITIES!!!
is this a boomer thing, or can anybody play? 🙂 has new age nonsense spread past gen-x into the younger cohorts?
my sense is that there is a fear of aging and death driving a lot of these managerial types, and that somehow they can live longer if they make other people live shorter.
It is sexual. They can get off on sadism even if they can no longer get it up.
It is sadistic impulse heightened by sexual frustration. Yes.
One gal, a mega hottie taken as a trophy wife by a California Democrat politician, revealed that after the first year, there was no more physical sex, not even the mild domination roleplay she craved. He got off on solely mental torment and clever headgames not just with her, but with everyone. We really can’t understand these mad bastards.
Edit: come to think of it, there are a great number of preachy types who are also like that. They savor effing with people’s heads and hearts. So, we must be looking at a latent fat tail of the spectrum.

Definitely mass fear of aging and death. There’s an obnoxious lib who makes YT videos on the ‘best 10/50 ‘x’ towns/cities/states.’ He had one recently for retirees and every last comment asked about availability and convenience of ‘health care.’ Old farts arrange their entire lives about the closest doctor and hospital. I haven’t seen a doctor in about eight years. We bought emergency helicopter service when we moved to the middle of the woods, because of the long drive to the nearest hospital if there was an accident/crisis, but that’s about it.
A lot of the health fanaticism we see all around us is certainly caused by the fear of death in a people who have no religious or spiritual beliefs
“new age nonsense spread past gen-x into the younger cohorts?“
Just look around colleges and high school hangouts. Just a decade ago, people that age were bulletproof. Immortal. Now every third one has a silly mask on, even though it’s no longer “required”, and, worse, his friends don’t mock him mercilessly.
Seriously damaged goods.
I just look at the 20-somethings around me at work. There are many with limps and huge bags under their eyes that are more apropos to someone 30 years older. That definitely wasn’t the case 20 years ago.

It’s only going to get worse, as we move towards 2030 and 2035 and 2040; the V@xxies will start dropping dead like flies; miscarriage & stillbirth will become the new normal; yuge numbers of ancient ancestries will come to a screeching halt.
We’re gonna run out of cemeteries in which to bury the V@xxies.
Most all of them will have to be cremated.
Everyone is familiar with the smirking western politician. All our lives, we have heard the expression, “bet you can’t say that with a straight face.” And you wonder why they are constantly smirking.

Jeffrey Zoar: “the compressed lip grimace“
If you could post links to some pictures, that would be awesome.
“The priest is always looking for a sinner to torment.” That is why merely wanting to be left alone does not work. It why our ancestors found that it is often necessary to stone the evangelist.
Yes. The desire to find a sinner to torment is why the common copes of the right (move out of cities, abandon universities and corporations, home school) won’t actually work in the long run. There is no way our betters will allow us to go unpunished and to slip out of their control
Nah. All you have to do is strip them of the power to do anything other than shriek in their padded rooms.
“It is incredible how as soon as a people become subject, it promptly falls into such complete forgetfulness of its freedom that it can hardly be roused to the point of regaining it, obeying so easily and willingly that one is led to say that this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement.”

And now, in the ultimate end of the purity cycle, they want to block out the Sun, which would kill almost all life on Earth…https://x.com/BGatesIsaPyscho/status/1916602036361056379?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1916602036361056379%7Ctwgr%5Ea93cb6e7ce3593cfca2604767ac01eabfa6e0140%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theburningplatform.com%2F
Government has become an insane asylum….,
Blocking out the sun has been ongoing in America for decades, through the use of chemtrails. In the mountains of the PNW I’d see these operations almost daily in summer.
It’s partly a loco-eco move to Save Mama Gaia, and partly a psyop because the sight of crystalline blue sky blotted-out by filmy crud is depressing.
Used to watch jets in the sky when I was a kid, was all about aviation and space back then. Sometime late 80s/early 90s I noticed the persistent contrails and wondered about them. They didn’t make grids in the sky back then, though, just here and there.
Millions and millions of tons of toxic particulates sprayed into the air, with daily multiple reports and photos from dozens of states and countries. It just can’t be ignored any longer, but the sheer scale of these operations is astounding.
What madness is it to spread a layer of poisons and heavy metals on everything- ground, water, crops, wind. The aluminium alone does so much long term brain damage in the old and young. I get wanting the masses dead, but at the cost of everything else?
They say they’re doing it to keep people safe from climate change brought about by too much sunlight.
But in reality it’s a power-trip, sadism, tecno-scientism amok at apogee. Poisoning the population to Keep Them Safe, and Because We Can.
Real Nurse Ratched stuff.
Easier (and IMO correct) answer: “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”
Those who put those false gods ahead of Him are in for a rude awakening.
The day after the election (((they))) were angry! I’ve never seen so many interlocking chemtrails over North Idaho ever before or since.

It is why the modern priests are more lethal than those of the past. They inherited the Christian distain for this world and the joys within it. Then they bolted onto it a class consciousness based in contempt for the people over whom they rule. Add in the minority’s natural paranoia and the result is a ruling class that seems to be hellbent on pulling the roof down on Western society. Modern priests are sociopathic and get off on sadism. This has nothing to do with helping humanity and everything to do with hurting it. These types are not disdainful… Read more »
Woke is a secular religion. Feminism is a secular religion. That they are secular doesn’t diminish the zeal of Adherents.
They are not Believers, because their (often very) public obeisances indicate that group pressure — Herd affirmation — drives the Adherent. Not faith in God, nor in any god except that of expediency and self-serving moralism.
You are correct, what we witness are ritual acts smacking loudly of the ancient world. Tech is upgraded, that’s all. America, Britain, Canada, Australia, carefully managed consensus and consent societies. We are the new Aztecs, but with more genders.
Given Zman’s essay today and the remarks of his commentariat, the following quote is apropos: “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The full quote, which I’ve never seen before, is considerably satisfying.
Also always apropos: “Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small.

To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil… Read more »
Now lets tie this all together. We’ve had articles on music, movies, what are these but the churches of secular culture? Are complaints about them are really no different then our complaints with regards to this article. The main problem in our modern world/life is a lack of authenticity. It’s all the same. A corporate potemkin village. The corporations must go, the solution is as simple as that. But how many here fear that very notion?
“The corporations must go, the solution is as simple as that. But how many here fear that very notion?”
Probably a good start. I’d prefer to see the state, the entity which supposedly keeps them from harming us, but is instead their creator and enabler, get pulled down in tandem. The state is, by far, the bigger threat. Just think about the lobbying group that usually gets top billing on this comment section. Incorporated, maybe, but not a corporation in the sense most think of it. And, ultimately, tied to another nation-state.
“ I’d prefer to see the state, the entity which supposedly keeps them from harming us, but is instead their creator and enabler, get pulled down in tandem”
They will. The corporations would already be dead if not for continuous bailouts. We are coming to the end game, the world has been bailing out .gov for quite some time. TBTF describes goldman sachs and uncle sam. They’ll hang together 😉
Hope I live to see it.
“The corporations would already be dead if not for continuous bailouts.”
I was going to leave this alone, but, no. My corporation would be plugging along just fine. It never got a penny of bailouts, and is largely only a corporation because to be filed as a sole proprietorship would have added almost 50% to their tax.
Recognizing the reality of taxation seems no different to me than recognizing the reality of gravity. Being a recipient of taxpayer bailouts, OTOH…
A food taboos serves a useful function for a priestly caste. It stops their followers from enjoying feasts or festivals with members of other religions. I mean, you can’t go to a Philistine feast if they serve pork, can you?
The idea that it has anything much to do with health is probably just an inaccurate invention. The people of Spain live in a climate very similar to Palestine’s: they guzzle pork with abandon. Indeed, they produce what is probably the best ham in the world.
When I was younger I remember being annoyed, frustrated, and also amazed at the speed at which these signals disseminated in the media.

“…the result is a ruling class that seems to be hellbent on pulling the roof down on Western society. It is not that they hate you. They hate everyone, but they really hate you.”
That’s one way to describe such. My way has been, “They hate themselves”! This is why the concept of “Spiteful Mutants” postulated by Woodley resonates so loud with me.
Either they hate themselves, or they’re soulless. I lean towards the latter. It’s hidden behind smugness, but why torment the common man if you don’t see what you hate in yourself in him? His supposed commonness, his banality, his lack of IT.
Although George Noory used to ask his guests if ‘globalists’ are bored. It’s possible but unsettling.
Lean towards the FORMER. Derp.
They don’t hate themselves, its the exact opposite. They hate you for not loving them as much as they love themselves.
Maybe, idk. I grew up with a handful of these types, and that’s where I got the Revenge of the Nerds idea from. The men, that is. I find women to be almost universally self-loathing to greater or lesser degrees.
“I find women to be almost universally self-loathing to greater or lesser degrees.”
I’ve found from exp. that they’re full of anxiety and just can’t relax for the most part. I’ve knew women in college who would got to the hospital because of panic attacks, dated one. That was an eye opener.
Yeah, that’s true. Maybe my opinion is due to the women I’ve known.
Religion evolved as the primary mechanism for preserving and passing along ancient wisdom borne of hard lessons learned in the local environment. And religious leaders were the guardians of this process of social education and propagation. They were selected based upon stubborn adherence to these ancient principles and given high status as their reward. In the age of the internet influencer, temporary ephemeral fads replace ancient wisdom. It is the death of resilience and robustness. Fragility is doom.

Our secular priests know nothing other than what they’ve been indoctrinated with. All they need to do is pick up a history book or get their hands dirty working on a farm or doing something with their hands and they would know it.
“It is thought that the Jewish prohibition on eating pork, for example, is a way to set the Jewish people apart from the rest of the people by abstaining from what was considered a dirty animal.” Our mother explained it to me as because pork goes “off” fast in the hot ME climate.

It’s also interesting to note that church and gang both have many practices and symbols required for inclusion. Both gangs and churches send out recruiters with quotas to fill, both require “initiations” involving swearing fealty, both require tithing or tribute, both select and groom the young, and both hotly defend their territory.

Yeah, about that. A Pharisee, half jewish, declares himself “reformed” and becomes a central figure in the new church? The self-described most humble of the bunch? And he’s the primary source for the re-phrasing of Jesus’ words? Despite the originals, like James, who disagree?
No wonder He says so few will find the gate…
I say Paul was a police spy, an infiltrator whose mission was to ferret out the Apostles for public execution. His sermons were written by his Roman clerks, Simon and Lucius (likely the same “Luke”).
The gig happened to be a good one, serving both the Praetorians and the Sanhedrin. He ended up in political battles with Peter, and with Jesus’ brother James and the Magdalene, Jesus’ common law wife, over leadership of the movement.
During the reign of the Four Emperors, Paul’s faction fell from favor, and he was publicly purged to further discredit his faction(s).
“It is not that they hate you. They hate everyone, but they really hate you.” Yes, but so what? You’re a moral relativist. You don’t get to affirm that it’s wrong to hate you or anyone else. Setting that matter aside, I think its helpful to notice how ironic is the religion of the new clerisy.

The same. I’m treating the tariff hysteria just as I treated the Y2K hysteria–I’m laughing at it.
Other than picking up an option here and there, I can’t figure out a way to make a buck off it.
Like @Jeffrey Zoar, I have reserves that I keep topped up, though I have substantially more. The last jar of white rice rotated out of storage had been set aside in 2004, but I’m not reducing the set-aside, either. Lots of food I’ll never live to eat, but hopefully it gives my kin a buffer,.
The golfer is waging a war, in his own way, on landfill economy without even realizing it. Let’s welcome it while it lasts, that is, until domestic production can provide cheap substitutes to be trucked off to the landfills after a brief period of usage. Meanwhile, no hoarding is necessary. Less imported junk in the home is better imported junk in the home.
At all times I have about a year’s worth of dehydrated/canned food and 2 or 3 months worth of drinking water. And generally, at least a month’s worth of anything else I use regularly. I probably have a year’s worth of toilet paper. But this is a normal state of affairs for me, nothing to do with tariffs.
The ridiculous articles that came out yesterday about Amazon’s tariff listings tell the tale. They were discussing Amazon Haul which is designed to compete with Shein, AliExpress, Temu, etc. All these are companies that are built around making cheap crap of the lowest quality possible and then shipping it to us on a massive tanker and then shipping it across our vast land on trucks and planes. This junk just ends up in a landfill or on the bottom of a closet after a couple weeks and then the buyer starts the process anew. We don’t need ANY of this,… Read more »
The econ folks I’ve been reading say expect a supply shock like we had in Covid to arrive about 2-3 months.
It may last for years, similar to a Depression, especially as TPTB will respond in as hamfisted a way as the Great Depression types did.
Topping off a few things – don’t need extra food but bought more plastics (detergent, dish soap, shampoo, deodorant, trash bags). A local lady surprised me by mentioning she had made a run to Sam’s club (about 2 hours away) and stocked up on all those same things. I support Trump on tariffs, but I also place zero trust in the average person’s common sense. If shelves do actually get bare over the next 2-6 weeks, I expect people to panic buy even things made domestically, like toilet paper.
It took about 3500 years to start understanding a prohibition Jews received on eating pork.
Turns out that humans and pigs are surprisingly genetically similar, and pigs’ organs could be used for transplants.
If a pig has genetic deviation, their meat could irrevocably change our body.
I am pretty sure it had more to do with trichinosis (which has more or less been eradicated)
Points to you, perhaps that’s why they’re “vaccinating” the pork with mRNA, not solely because the powers believe pork is an aversion, but also as a vehicle to affect the goyim- cull the weak, mutate the strong, to make them suitable for hosting. Pork in Chinese dishes, ham and bacon in Caucasian dishes…
Purity apparently doesn’t apply to chicks. Each passing decade they get sluttier and raunchier. Now, *raised hands* I am not entirely against this trend. When bare breasts become the norm, it’ll improve the sight-lines of the city. What I question is what beta males get out of this. It’s all fine and dandy for the alpha males who get to freely sample the forbidden fruit, but what is the poor, sexually frustrated chump to do?

The breasts that ate bared are unkikely to be the ones that will “improve the sightlines”. Regardless, slutty women means no lasting marriages which means a hell society. Controlling the women and their self destructive stupidity is among the most vital tasks of human society.
sigh…..
This has got to be an AI generated spam. Note that Greg’s commentary rarely adds to the discussion—or even makes sense within the current theme of discussion, but uses appropriately gleaned “buzz words”. Second, no matter what the response to “his” comment, Greg (AI) never responds for further “back and forth” discussion, i.e., what we call argument. Third, the comment submitted by Greg-AI is always made early in the morning as if set by a timer to hit after a typical posting by Z-man can be scanned. Z-man, any thinking upon my analysis here? Are you curious as to who/what… Read more »
Agreed, @Compsci. I, too, have noticed that Greg’s comment usually has at least something to do with the topic. At least, as much as any of the other comments usually do. I’ve been wondering how many iterations separated it is. I doubt it’s just feed in Zman’s essay and out pops bare breasts.
You beat me to it, Compsci, but this comment was too obvious.
I once thought that Greg had the mind of a college freshman: entirely derivative, not actually thinking, thoroughly normie knowledge base. The vexing aspect was that he never seemed to learn from the content here. In retrospect, I may need to apologize to college freshmen.
The wonder is that Greg-AI seems to be becoming worse over time.
What if the singularity is Ouroboros disintegrating into noise?
The breasts that are bared are unkikely to be the ones that will “improve the sightlines”. Regardless, slutty women means no lasting marriages which means a hell society. Controlling the women and their self destructive stupidity is among the most vital tasks of human society.
I dunno if unkikely was a typo or a sort of freudian slip, but I’m going to use it in the future
“Controlling the women and their self destructive stupidity is among the most vital tasks of human society.“
Or, and I’m just spitballing here, maybe create the circumstances such that they freely choose the right path? Like the meme with the woman in an apron, getting smooched by her man, a couple kids nearby, something like, “Imagine the propaganda it would take to make them think this is oppressive.”
“…create the circumstances such that they freely choose the right path?” Strongly agree, it is the essence of free will, free to choose correctly.
We have to get the power to control the Narrative for that; I notice the Temperance shrews, who were far more vile and violent to other women than we were told, didn’t really get going until after the Emma Goldman types- whose primary cultural contribution is to radicalize any splinter group they can- arrived and began organizing the immigrants, the working classes, the politicians, the preachers, and the women.
“We have to get the power to control the Narrative for that;“
I often agree with you, but this is just an excuse.
What moderns neglect is that managing the household was not some trivial matter. It was the difference between making it through the winter until there were dandelion and lamb’s quarters and plantain greens to gather come spring.
Maybe it’s hard to come up wit something to keep her busy and feel needed in an era of supermarkets, but you are up to it, yea?
I wish that were feasible, but I’ve seen that approach fail, in real life, enough times that I put no stock in it. I’m sure some percentage of women can satisfy themselves with that scenario, but its far from a majority. There’s just too much data showing that they, in aggregate, never stay happy with what they’ve got no matter how good.
