A basic rule of complex systems is that within them, you get more of what is rewarded by the rules of the system and less of what is not rewarded. In the case of human systems, this manifests as status. High status people will possess many of the qualities favored by the rules, and low status people will have fewer of those things. The stars of a sport are those who are either great at some aspects of the sport or very good at a wide range of favored skills in the sport.
Culture is the word we use for the complex system of rules and properties that define the societies in which we live. Like all systems, culture rewards some things and not others and punishes some things and not others. Status in the culture is determined by the overall quantity of these things. Some qualities are disqualifying, as the movie mogul Harvey Weinstein learned. He was very good at making profitable films, a highly prized quality, but he had habits that were eventually disqualifying.
This basic rule of systems can help explain why the United States finds itself in a crisis that, on the surface, seems easy to solve. The finances of the American empire are not so dire that they cannot be remedied. Some sacrifice would be needed, but with sound leadership, the fiscal house could be set right quickly. The same is true of the foreign policy challenges. The demographic and cultural issues are more complex, but the answers are known. It is a question of execution.
The most vexing problem of the current crisis for most people is why nothing gets done to address the known issues when the solutions are fairly obvious. On the one hand, there is an industry that exists to explain why the politics of each issue is such that the right answer can never be considered. On the other hand, there is libertarianism and conservatism that offer escape from the reality of the problem. These are the people who start every sentence with “all we need to do is…”
The corruption and escapism surrounding the question of why the issues that plague the country are never addressed are not explanations. They are part of the set of things that are caused by the core issue. We have gotten a hint of this in the first months of Trump’s second attempt at the wheel. He simply did things, like void longstanding executive orders on affirmative action. Suddenly, a man with the will to act was acting on a problem of politics, and the problem stopped being a problem.
What the first months of the new Trump term show is that leaders can simply act, and their actions can change the rules of the system. The racial rackets are suddenly in crisis because one man signed his name on some paper. We are seeing the same thing with immigration, where the political center is now speeding so quickly in the direction of the patriotic position that people are struggling to keep pace. It is as if there is a revolution going on in elite opinion.
This returns us to the question of why the same thing has not been done with regard to the main issues of the current crisis. The reason is systemic. The system rewards certain types of men and not others. That means our elites are high in the qualities that are rewarded and low in the qualities that are needed to solve the problem. The fact that Trump is universally hated in Washington speaks to the fact that he is high in qualities that the political system abhors.
An example of how this works is Mark Cuban, the billionaire who used to own the Dallas Mavericks and now agitates people on social media. He is a billionaire and therefore a member of the elite. The difference between Mark Cuban and the people in the stands at an NBA game wearing a team jersey is only about money. In fact, Cuban was one of those people as the owner of the team. He was not just the owner. He was the number one superfan of the team.
John Steinbeck coined the phrase “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” to describe the attitude of the typical American. The American Dream says that through hard work and determination, you can become wealthy. There is also the sense that serendipity plays a role in getting rich. You increase your odds of getting that winning ticket to the upper classes if you work hard. In this regard, Mark Cuban is the manifestation of this concept, as he got rich through hard work and serendipity.
There is a flip side to this that is clear with Cuban. Our elites think of themselves as temporarily successful paupers. The same turn of fortune’s wheel that made them rich could easily make them poor again. This is why American elites are so desperate to imitate the ways of the lower classes. It is as if they feel they must be penitent in order to prevent the hand of fate from sending them down the economic ladder. This is why rich celebrities are so fond of playing the victim.
Of course, it is not merely dumb luck that explains success. Hard work and determination play a major role, but the main driver is the relative quality of those things rewarded by the culture. America is a materialist society that rewards those who are good at our peculiar form of economics. Mark Cuban got rich because he was able to fob off onto tech billionaires a company that turned out to be worthless, but at the time looked like a goldmine.
Elon Musk became the world’s richest man by flattering the political class that his businesses were holy crusades. If they invested public money in those enterprises, they would not only bring salvation to society but also be seen as virtuous. Without hundreds of billions in public money, Musk is just an eccentric weirdo. His love for Donald Trump now looks like opportunism. It was a chance to run the same game on the MAGA movement that he ran on the left for so long.
The recent public feud between Trump and Musk is useful in understanding something else about our elites. Musk feels like Trump used him, but he should not be shocked, as to be an elite means being a tool. Success in economic endeavors is never about higher values or transcendent beliefs. It is about making the mechanics of the economic system work in your favor. At every level, the people involved are nothing more than tools to be used by those above them.
This makes the people at the top the most successful tools in the system. They are the tools the system uses to exploit the rest of the tools. It is no wonder then that the political elites use the economic elites as tools for their success. Trump’s relationship with Musk shows that Trump has learned how to be good at politics by using members of the economic elite like Musk as tools in his new trade. In a society of tools, everyone is eventually used and then discarded, even the elite tools.
This brings us back to those vexing problems of the current crisis. The solution is clear, but the execution requires men with the will to do it. Such men are never mere tools of the system, but men with a sense of nobility. They are men who understand why old men plant fruit trees. They have a higher purpose than the mere collection of things, and they do not see themselves as temporarily successful paupers. Their nobility is independent of their utility.
The American system does not produce such men because it does not reward the qualities that such men must possess. In fact, having a higher purpose is disqualifying in most areas of life. The businessman who sees his company as part of the social fabric will be ruined by those who can think only in money. The politician who speaks of sacrifice will lose to one promising free money. Materialism demands that you live in the present, so you can never transcend the present.
It was not always so for America. It is the transformation that occurred in the twentieth century that resulted in a system that produces our current elites. It is the failure of those elites that will bring about the end of the system that created them. Perhaps what comes next will once again reflect the essential American character, but this assumes there will be enough of those essential Americans to make it possible. That is the great question at the heart of the current crisis.

What is unfolding in California is the future of the West if the present trajectory continues. The elite have noticed. They can be rewarded by the system if bold action is taken, or they can lose everything, which as you rightly note is always a concern for them, and have their wealth distributed to the brown and black and yellow hordes.
Their choice.
California is officially 34% White (which includes X% of Jews and Arabs). Texas is officially 39.6% White (with its own overlarge share of Jews and Arabs). New York state is 54%. Illinois is 58.8%. Montana is 85.1%. Missouri is 77.9%. No state is where it ought to be, but there are definitely better and worse.
The ‘future of the West’ is NOW.
Some/most is already gone. White enclaves are possible and I think likely but will have to be policed because those responsible are…white, actually white.
Yep, and it is even worse. Your stat’s are for entire States—not cities. The large cities in most any of the States is demographically worse. For example, the city of my birth, NYC, is now less than 30% White. When I was born there in 1953, Whites were 90%, and at that NYC was then considered very “cosmopolitan “. Any doubt why NYC is dysfunctional? Any doubt why the populace of LA are happy to take to the streets and burn the place down? Any future conflict between Whites and “others” will be synonymous with rural vs urban. This is… Read more »
Yes. Note also that NYC and like cities have enormous gibs as incentives for the savages to migrate there. States that do not participate in Medicaid expansion, to give an example, over time have less influx.
That’s actually good news, because the country provides enclaves to escape to. The cities are sewers anyway.
The Future has arrived. Not the future we were waiting for, that’s for sure.
Greta has been kidnapped by the j00z:
https://tinyurl.com/mrxdx9u5
She has to go back.
Greta is kidnapped by no one. Look, aside from her being a mental case, she is a Spiteful Mutant. Her gig in Climate Change got old, so now she’s hooked onto a new one—Palestinians and their cause. She has no values, only venues she works to her own aggrandizement. She is best ignored, rather than repeatedly having her latest photo opt reprinted here. Sigh….
Yes. Sorting is the only possible response. Reliable stats are hard to come by, of course.
I’m not saying this to be a doomer, but sorting is impossible when you have a federal government looking at maps and models and determining the best way to dump tens of thousands of Haitians into White neighborhoods. It’s impossible when you look at the boom cities of these majority-White states and fidn they are loaded with shitlibs who put up “In this house we believe…” signs, donate money to HIAS, and agitate for public transportation and sanctuary city status. The most amount of BLM signs I ever saw was in Vermont, and New Hampshire is full of bureaucrats trying… Read more »
The sorting is happening despite all that, though. States and localities that have limited gibs do not sustain the Colony Ridge occupations over time; the savages tend to migrate into leftwing cities over time.
As for Vermont and New Hampshire, dump a few bus loads of Somalis in them and those attitudes will be less in vogue.
Didn’t that happen in Maine? As far as I know, the locals there did not take steps to stop future busloads from coming. When did the busloads stop coming in Minnesota?
The fact is that 30-40% of White people are total shitlibs who hate White people (the heatmap). The diversity is a blessing to them and the opposition to it reinforces their hatred.
The hatred that White people have for White people is something that needs to be taken care of.
I don’t know about Maine, but many Minnesotans voted with their feet, often going next door to Wisconsin. I totally agree white self-hatred is the biggest problem of all and hope it is as low as 30-40 percent. Younger Americans have much less self-hatred than the Millennials upwards.
Have whites always had this self hatred? If not, where did it come from?
Not always. It appears to have manifested in earnest immediately after WWII. Leftist intellectuals used both world wars and the West’s history of global imperialism as weapons to indict the white race. Beginning as early as the late 60s, those intellectuals began conquering the West’s institutions in order to promulgate their treasonous self-loathing. The project succeeded far beyond their wildest hopes.
I’m open to it being genetic and part of evolutionary psychology. If you go back and read the abolitionists, for example, the worship of non-whites were a thing even then.
Even earlier, 18th century Rousseau…
Yeah, good point. The French also supported the Haitians while they slaughtered their countrymen. I’m sticking with genetic.
Strictly speaking not self-hatred, I would term it pathological altruism, the guest blog today lays down an excellent case.
https://foundingquestions.wordpress.com/2025/06/09/waiting-for-charlie-stenvig-guest-post-by-ganderson/
You can run but you can’t hide!
Oh yeah, it started in Maine. The Blackhawk Down Somalis were clustered in Atlanta; a few somehow got to Newport, Maine- the whitest of white, with an environment entirely alien to Saharan sensibilites- and found the gibs were better.
They started calling their relatives in hot Georgia, and more somehow made it north. Then temp hiring programs started in Michigan, across to Minnesota and Nebraska, I watched it spread across the top.
A floor boss at Electrolux told me his factory used to be all Swedes, but now were people who literally did not know how to use a broom.
All the better to sell them a vacuum.
Some years ago, my then-boss at work hired a bunch of Somalis as labourers, since the Trudeau government was promising a 50% kickback on wages to any business that would hire these people. I’ll always remember one of my coworkers storming into the break room shortly after and fuming that he could not work with people who couldn’t figure out how to operate a hammer.
It’s much more possible–not necessarily likely, mind you–now than it was before since many of the elites seem to have experienced a demographic epiphany. Again, I’m not necessarily expecting this to hold, but I feel slightly less awful about the future now than I did a year ago.
The New England states are probably the highest.
California births are 26% white, which, as you say, includes Jews and Arabs. Put a fork in her because she’s done.
Texas white births are right behind at 31%.
A lot of that 34% in Cali is old legacy whites such as yours truly. The kids here are overwhelmingly non-white. The local high school, which was once known as the “rich kids on the hill” when I was a kid is now 60% non-white (about 40% Hispanic). It used to be an academic powerhouse but is now a Title II school (receiving extra resources to improve academic outcomes, i.e., the kids are failing).

“Juan Crazy Summer”
Best to look at birth statistics. You’d be surprised by some of the states that are near or below 50% white. Lily white Massachusetts is only 54% white and 24% Hispanic. Washington state is 52% with 11% Hispanic. Hispanic births outnumber white births in Arizona, same for Texas and California.
Even Oregon births are 23% Hispanic.
The dye is cast.
Sorry, “die is cast.”

“The dye is cast.”
Somehow I did not read that as a typo, but rather a clever play on words. 😉
Die and dye both work.
Yes. The stats often are shocking. Alabama–with its huge black population–will be majority white long after Massachusetts, to give one example. I expect there to be a lot of intra-state racial friction before anything happens nationwide.
The Roman Elite at least tried to learn from their mistakes. (Machiavelli wrote a great book on this topic). Our elite haven’t wised up yet. The Jewish Elite, as usual too clever for their own good, imported an army of savages who will ultimately ghetto-ize them. The Techbro Elite were astonished to see some cholo with a Mexican flag dancing on the wreckage of their autonomous Waymo taxi yesterday. They forgot that all their whiz-bang technology, and wealth, depend on actual White guys maintaining civilization. If our elite wise up quickly, we have a chance. Otherwise, the Barbarians are at… Read more »
They’re INSIDE the gates already.
I’ll admit to chuckling that the rioters were able to summon the driverless Waymo taxis to the holocaust using their cell phones
‘Some qualities are disqualifying, as the movie mogul Harvey Weinstein learned. He was very good at making profitable films, a highly prized quality, but he had habits that were eventually disqualifying’ Ole Harv went quid pro quo with the young chickies who coveted movie roles and other goodies. A transaction. Sheeit, Harvey is probably a moderate when it comes to Hollywood morality. At least he wasn’t a homo. And what about the ‘habits’ of the females using him? Why are they not disqualifying? Harvey’s habits were absolutely fine until the day that the Sisterhood decided to kick off $MeToo as… Read more »
Yep. Good call. Really, Harvey was an honest businessman. His budding “starlets” got what they “paid” for. No different than a whore/john transaction on the street. Not my morality to be sure, but not what Harvey was later pictured as.
It was more than a financial grift, too. The Left wanted Kickass Girlboss movies, and Harv was old-school, into making good films not ideological lectures.
That had to go. Old, white, male, with power. Had to be taken down to inaugurate the Girlboss Era. Voila, sex accusations.
The moment that the Almighty Ones decide you are a criminal, guess what? You are.
The casting couch was around long before HW. One of the big perks for the Jews who ran Hollywood was access to all those beautiful 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘬𝘴𝘢𝘴 who wanted to be stars. David Niven observed that every beauty contest winner in the USA went to Hollywood. Few became stars but many became casting couch occupants.
Gavin Newsom’s Jewish wife slept with Harvey. Years later she claimed it was “rape”… but she never called the cops at the time it allegedly happened, LOL.

You’re right, and that’s why the system here puts so much effort into preventing real leaders from gaining prominence. As Z-man mentioned, our system rewards the bad and punishes the good.
You can say that again!
The sacrifice of Weinstein served the purpose of kicking off the metoo movement which has made heterosexual relationships defacto illegal for straight men. It gave women a victim switch they can flip at any time to use their newfound prosecutorial abilities to enforce that paradigm shift which many have predictably used that created the chilling effect outcome they wanted. He was perfect for that role since he’s not at all sympathetic & wasn’t subtle about his antics in the slightest. A better example is Andrew Cuomo, he did everything right in the eyes of the system & had insanely good… Read more »
MeToo is underappreciated as the utter catastrophe it was.
It was the final nail in the coffin of birthrates for intelligent, non impulsive & risk averse people. It was bad enough that marriage essentially entailed any potential wife forever held a loaded gun to your head that when the trigger was pulled meant she’d get half of everything you ever worked for, you becoming an indentured servant & free reign to turn your kids into trannies. They already destroyed marriage & with this move they preemptively still-birthed the precursor to it.
No he was let go because the heat was getting to hot on investigating his murder of countless old people by putting covid infected people in nursing homes. Weinstein was just low hanging fruit. His movie might not have been making money anymore, or perhaps his politics never jived with the rest of his “class” and they just needed an excuse to take him down. No honor among thieves
Nobody was ever prosecuted for anything related to the covid crimes & all those people involved still deny he did anything wrong. Also, if he really was sacrificed for that reason to appease people there was absolutely nothing stopping them from prosecuting him after he left office. You become less immune to criminal prosecution when you lose political power, not more. He also bitterly resisted his ouster the same way his brother did who was sacked from mainstream media for the same reason. The idea that Cuomo had to be publicly painted as a sexual deviant & removed as governor… Read more »
It was used to remove him from the attention. He didn’t go to prison for his me too stuff like Harvey, which shows you right off the bat that it was two totally different things. And yes i’m quite aware no one has been held accountable for the FUBAR that was covid. Also if Meatball was cancelled he wouldn’t be running for mayor of NYC currently, and would be in prison, like Harvey.
We’re talking about new york here, that place is a corrupt third world cesspit, they don’t give a damn about optics for anything else but suddenly they’re very concerned about the guy they spent the entire lockdown lionizing? All we can do is speculate, in the absence of veritable proof they sacrificed him for those optics instead of the ones I’m claiming I’m sticking with mine because it makes far more sense to me than the alternative. If you had claimed that jews had him removed for being equally ruthless about mask & lockdown mandates to orthodox jews as everyone… Read more »
His “murder of old people” only occurred if you buy into the the false epidemiological narrative that Dr Fauci and others pulled out of their asses to exercise their reign of terror over the peasantry. An airborne virus which remains viable even outside of the human body would not have been affected by quarantine measures one way or the other. And the early test case of the Diamond Princess demonstrated that its mortality rate was pretty low even among supposedly vulnerable age groups. You can take off your mask!
I was cruising in along in Passaic or Clifton when WABC announced Cuomo’s lockdown because of the Indian-run nursing homes he had packed Covid patients into, right across the thruway in, where was it, Rochelle, I think. So yes, House, you’re spot on on that one.
And voila, all of a sudden there was a #MeToo sex scandal in the Cuomo mansion with some reporterette or female staff member making “serious allegations.”
Nah. Nobody cared about a bunch of old people dying of COVID – in fact, it was good for them. These people are a heavy burden on the state financial systems and overwhelmingly White and conservative. Cuomo was taken down because he was getting ready to corral his newfound fame and support into a Presidential run and as a swaggering alpha male he is everything the Dem party hates. He is a guy who prefers big infrastructure projects and decent governance than the progressive stack. At least Newsom is willing to play ball with the spiteful mutants as we saw… Read more »
His being perceived as an alpha male was incidental, I think. They got him out of the way to clear the decks for someone else’s run.
I don’t disagree with you, and it doesn’t matter if “nobody” at the top cared, but i guess you were never accused of trying to kill grandma during covid by a karen while out and about and not following some arbitrary protocol eh?
The future was always going to be fraught with uncertainty for America due to the substantial black population. But there was always the hope they’d get up to snuff existing around the White majority. Not surprisingly, it’s been a failure. Now we’re importing tens of millions swarthy aliens compounding the problems. The country as we knew it is pretty much toast – I’m not even sure some sort of “orania” type setup could survive. A truly sad state of affairs. Further, people like mark cuban are a huge part of THE problem.
I disagree about the viability of an Orania-type setup in the US. I believe that US Whites have enormous advantages over our South African brethren. Two that spring to mind are relative numbers and armaments. If they can make it work down there, something similar can be made to work here.
The issue is you would be trying to make Orania work within globohomo’s Great Satan, not some backwater.
Yes, the average westerner has never heard of Orania. The regime can pretend it doesn’t exist. It would be handled differently were it in Missouri. I’m not sure how, but differently.
There is I believe a mistaken understanding of Orania’s purpose. From one South African I heard in discussion, Orania is a last stand type of situation and is not realistically thought to be a self sustaining permanent refuge when the SHTF. Rather it is hoped when the genocide begins, Whites may head there and wait for rescue by the West.
In general, I doubt such rescue, in whatever form, will happen.
The U.S. government just spent 50 years waging a Hate Campaign — a covert war, really — against white males. Pretty sure the deep state isn’t interested in ‘rescuing’ them.
Joggers aren’t the cause of the downfall, nor do they contribute to the influx of foreigners.
Scholars would be mostly manageable if it wasn’t for the tribe which trafficked in urban yoof to begin with.
Nuggras may not be the cause of the downfall, but they’re dam’ sure a big part of it.
for America to survive – as America – the part of the population that wants and supports that will have to condense into selected states/regions appropriate to their numbers. i.e. substantial land must be forfeited and abandoned. once new America stabilizes and grows new roots (and more people!) the project to reclaim the abandoned parts can begin.
to a certain extent, this condensing process has already started re: peole moving out of blue states, to go to red states.
Good post. Unfortunately with the changing demographics, there aren’t really red states. There are only “slightly less anti-white states”.
Look (and move and choose where to live) by county. Yes, consider overall taxes, gun laws, etc., but every state with solid gun laws and/or low taxes has at least one heavily non-White county. And those demographics are now reported less honestly than ever. AI claims my county is 97.52% White. But hidden at the bottom of the census.gov numbers, it admits those who are White alone (not hispanic or latino) are 92.8%. Still excellent, but not what it ought to be. The rot has crept in everywhere.
Maybe that explains why “Red states take in more Federal money than Blue states!” Because, they’re being targeted for pillaging and resettlement.
Not much military presence in northeastern or midwestern blue states. Heavy military presence in red southeast and west. Also all the negros on welfare in southeastern states. That’s most of your discrepancy right there, I think.
Exactly. A great deal of that federal money is funding what amounts to an army of occupation. On the one hand, welfare. And on the other, projects which enrich the kind of “successful” people Z is talking about in today’s post. All of it undermining the culture which made the states “red” and shifting them towards purple or blue.
By the way, am I the only one who remembers when “red” meant commie and “true blue” meant rock-ribbed traditionalism and virtuous nobility?
Red state refers to the tendency for the state to vote Republican, correct?
Why should that be a litmus test when the Republican Party is complete garbage?
The self-sorting and fragmentation indeed are positive developments.
NO! This is how a cuck thinks. If we could get the political will to do what you are talking about, we could just as easily get the political will to kick the foreigners out. Most of the foreigners in the US are foreign citizens (IOW, not stateless people) who walked here. They can turn their asses right around and walk back home and take their children with them. Mexico, for example has a law that says any child born from Mexican citizens anywhere in the world automatically are Mexican citizens. There is not one person of recemt Mexican heritage… Read more »
what is really interesting, is the blob is bringing in 3rd worlders from all over. none of which have any affinity for the others. we already see competing groups rioting against each other, here in the US. it’s easy to lump them all in together, but they are not going to cooperate much. good example is mexicans vs other latins, or mexicans vs nigs. we are like a big ole fireworks warehouse, with a night watchman who smokes.
I think that Musk felt – with reason – that with the amount of money he brought into the election and, more importantly, the way he changed the discourse – he would be able to get in there and dictate terms the way that certain other, let’s say, interest groups, do. Especially since Musk actually gave more money than prominent members of those interest groups. Of course that is not how it works, and Musk, being a sperg, failed to grasp that, was routed, and is now (understandably, honestly) upset. The USA is over. That much should be clear, both… Read more »
I agree with much of what you say. But their radicalized offspring DO have an interest in living in the USA. In fact, they refuse to leave even as they wave the flags of their home countries. Let’s face it. Everyone wants to live around White people, especially if the Whites are forced at gunpoint to pay for everything.
That’s the point. Losercons talk about the “proposition nation”, even if you accept that at face value, these people do not buy into the proposition and never will. They have no interest in even living in the fake Claremont version of the USA. They want to live in a socialist hellhole like the one they came from, just one with more money and where they get the benefits of it.
“The businessman who sees his company as part of the social fabric will be ruined by those who can think only in money. “
And so we have the secondary plot line in the hit movie, “Pretty Woman”. Is Trump our Richard Gere?
I think Musk realized that the DOGE thing was used by the GOP as a publicity stunt and they had no intention of really executing the cuts. Had he had not been a druggie, he would have chalked it up to experience, shut his mouth, and gone back to his businesses a sadder but wiser man. Trump will not be successful unless he decides to ignore the courts who are attempting to hamstring him. Court decisions are in essence advisory, since the courts cannot enforce their decisions. The only recourse for a president who ignores court decisions is impeachment and… Read more »
States like Connecticut are now moving into the active phase of resettlement of minorities into majority-white areas, with a bill soon to be passed into law by the governor. The State will simply withhold money from towns that refuse to build “affordable” multi-family apartment complexes, which developers are racing to build for the enormous money involved: One piece of the bill known as “Towns Take the Lead” divides housing need among towns based on regional need and assigns each town a set number of units to plan and zone for. That means every five years, towns will have a certain… Read more »
And therein lies the rub in today’s essay. There are the problems that need to be fixed that are easy to fix save for the will to execute. Then there are the other plans, like the Kalergi Plan, that people like Lamont have the will and psychopathy to execute. There are at least two competing plans. Well one side has a plan and is faithfully executing it even when execution looks like the chaos of racial conquest in LA. The other side isn’t a side. It doesn’t have a plan, it has fealty to decorum and fidelity to a piece… Read more »
About the same thing Obama’s HUD Secretary was pushing before he left office. Single family only housing zoning was to be abolished, or HUD money would be withdrawn to those areas. As with CA, the State here has passed laws to allow you to build on your property smaller residential units. This was passed by calling them “casitas” for grandma—or “granny” residences. Of course, anyone can live there. Aside from the obvious detraction of SES mixing, Connecticut’s law might be better than CA or AZ. If you build such from scratch, you then need to provide the proper infrastructure for… Read more »
Even local zoning laws don’t mean much many areas. I recently read an article about some city in California where it’s become common is for unscrupulous landlords to buy rattletrap old RVs and put them on their property or even park them on residential streets and then rent them out for $800 a month.

Everything you propose is an echo of the past 45 years of Con, Inc. Emphasis on con. None of it ever happened, and none of ever will happen. It’s over.

We are finally talking about nobility, a conversation long overdue.
Yes, a conversation! A discussion! A roundtable! Perhaps a conference, with Jared Taylor? Let’s talk some more about installing strongmen! Myself, I like Pinochet. Is he available?
I remember back during the Bush pere era “family values” were all the rage on what passed for the Right. Lots of talk about that subject. But far more important are “white” values, one of which is probably nobility. Once we begin to dilate upon white values we will see what distinguishes us from most everybody else and why white identitarianism and white flourishing make so much sense.
“This basic rule of systems can help explain why the United States finds itself in a crisis that, on the surface, seems easy to solve. The finances of the American empire are not so dire that they cannot be remedied. Some sacrifice would be needed, but with sound leadership, the fiscal house could be set right quickly. The same is true of the foreign policy challenges.” Not quickly nor easily. It would mean abandoning the elusive goal of maintaining hegemony, of being top dog, when the wherewithal is no longer there. But it seems the ship of state is like… Read more »
“To give just one example, if the government stops slapping a 100% tariff on Chinese BYDs, Tesla will go under.”
Whether true or not—since we won’t allow true competition in the marketplace to decide—from the few BYDs available, they seem like a Tesla rival to be sure. On the other hand, the Chinese are worse than we are in this game. If we were to allow true competition ala the Chinese way, BVD would have to build here and China could own no controlling interest in their USA production.
Lol I’m still waiting for my Hilux
The Hilux is not here for two basic reasons; It’s creamed by general truck restrictions due to size, and it does not even begin to meet general pollution and safety features long required of all automobiles registered in the States.
Now we can argue about such regulations, but the point being they were not instituted to prevent the Hilux per se.
“The demographic and cultural issues are more complex, but the answers are known. It is a question of execution.”
I know you have to straddle the line and not appear to be too much of a nut job, but you said it yourself in Friday’s podcast. (((They))) are the ones responsible for our predicament.
Jerks.
The “elites” do not bear exclusive blame for the fiscal crisis. Not even close. The common man demands his gibs, i.e. medicare.
Victim blaming is a cornerstone of democracy. “Well you voted for it” is the real trick of democracy. The people blame themselves for the maleficence of the elites who set policy.
I always being that up in regards to Somalis being imported into Minnesota: it’s not like they were given a choice. Yeah they’re liberal cucks but it’s not like they were going to vote Republican if the Dems *didn’t* move Somalis in.
No place on earth has democratically voted for mass migration.
I’ll grant that not everyone may have voted for medicare, but I’ll bet my bottom dollar that the vote against anyone proposing its eradication would be overwhelming
One of these days, I’ll have to teach you how a democracy works.
All part of the scheme. Create gubmint entitlements and get the masses hooked on them. The masses then become dependent sheep and government power increases dramatically. What’s not to love?!
Agreed, Z. Voters who are given two choices from the same uniparty are not the problem.
Very few “common men” are getting government gibs. No, the “common man” is working a shitty job to pay all those taxes that fund the food, rent, and medical care given to anyone but him. And yes, this includes paying outrageous insurance premiums that subsidize those who don’t pay into the system.
In Europe, the social safety net worked fairly well when they had a homogonous (aka White) population. The problem now is that Whites pay and others suck the system dry.
I was under the impression everyone over 65 received medicare
Yes. And this, along with Social Security, is one of the few benefits that White people ever see after paying into it for decades. However, far too many people receiving it were not born here and didn’t pay into the system. (Even if it’s a dozen people, it’s too many.) They need to be cut off yesterday. And we all know that fraud is rampant. But it’s interesting that this (Medicare and Social Security) is what politicians choose to focus on — the benefits actually received by the common man (aka White people). There’s a long list of “gibs” that… Read more »

This also is why both are targeted. The reason not to support any cuts to either program is because they still to this day benefit primarily whites.
Exactly. Cutting these is like the European governments cutting benefits for White pensioners, even as they shower new arrivals with housing and medical benefits that only further displace the native White population. If anything, Whites should be demanding more gibs, not less — at least until the governments stop shoveling money/benefits at people who don’t belong here.
There is some truth to what you say. Nevertheless I recall reading that defense spending and Social Security which I assume includes Medicare and Medicaid are something like 2/3 or more of the budget. Now please don’t get me wrong, I’m in full agreement that non-citizens shouldn’t get any government benefits of any kind, save perhaps in very limited exceptions. Interest on the debt is 16% of the total federal spending alone. That number is not going to drop. In brief, while there is doubtlessly some fraud, waste and abuse in those items, The awful truth is that the vast… Read more »
Eligible at 65, but not required. You can skip it. However, to pick it up later, you are penalized by a premium increase—something like 10% per year or so.
I did not wish to take it, but could find *no* insurance policy/company in this State that did *not* require that I be on it before accepting me. There are any number of folks who for reasons like religious belief will not sign up for Medicare.
I do not want it, but am going to be forced to sign up when I file for social security in a few months (to begin when I turn 67 a few months later). I only have to get the basic, because I’m still covered by my husband’s health insurance – and we got the Health Savings Account, because the PPO plan was unaffordable. Not to mention I avoid all doctors like the plague. And even in our closest SS office (in a town of about 13k) I have to do it all by phone and computer – you cannot… Read more »
My sympathy. It had a devil of a time doing my own retirement and then followup with Medicare enrollment. Until the first check arrived, I was still worried that I had screwed up somewhere in the process. And yes, computer application only. No humans got involved.
p.s.- even on subsistance SS, you still have to pay monthly for it, mine is 10%, even though I never enrolled. Plus, of course, all the extras not paid by the basic, and taxes (!) as well.
And also yes, it’s the same dizzying slurry of insurance bullshit. Imagine trying to deal with this crap when you’re 85 and in chronic pain or seriously ill.
Yes, but it’s not about the “gibs”. Or at least that’s not the lion’s share. The core of the problem is we as a people have abandoned our communities. Look in the mirror and answer honestly: What have I done to make my community a better place for someone to raise a family?
I bet everyone here can answer—with examples—in the affirmative in that regard. You just disagree what that is. Basically, I consider any decent person living their lives according to some basic moral/societal precept—as was instilled in me by my parents—to be contributing to making the society “better”.
How about you citing some examples of what we should be doing?
I pay taxes, clean up after myself, maintain my property, do not destroy public property for sport, do not steal, etc. That should be enough.
Well, if the white man doesn’t demand his gibs, they’ll just give the money away to nonwhites and illegals.
Why should poor, elderly white people get bankrupted by the medical rackets while Negroes and beaners get free treatment?
Zman, are you tutoring our next Macedonian general?
This one is a classic, it is the finest distillation of philosophy.
We should bake it into clay, inscribe it on a stele, or perhaps precious scraps of parchment hidden away in a cave or some Irish monk’s cell.
