Reality check: You can stand against society alone, but to raise kids, as one wise stateswoman said, you need a village.
Your kids need peer group of people with the same beliefs who will stand with them and support them.
Otherwise, it is just all media, school and society telling them W, while dad alone is rambling non-W. Why should they follow the old dodgering dodger?
Just one sad example: case of Adrienne Black.
Born as Don Black in racist family and raised as racist. Not some Klansman primitive, but devoted scientific HBDIQ aware racist. Little Don knew his IQ tables and bell curves as soon as he learned to read.
Dad was prominent white supremacist and Internet pioneer.
He did everything he could to raise Junior in racism and white supremacy.
And all his efforts were undone on New College of Florida by power of Jewish friendship and love.
In May 2013, Black started to befriend several Jewish people on campus, and gradually realized that her own beliefs were wrong after attending multiple Friday night dinners with Jewish friends.

The party largely responsible for this the ANC has a declining vote share but still commands the loyalty of a plurality of the electorate. In addition, most of the parties opposing the ANC are not exactly free marketer reformers of the type that might rapidly turn some of these issues around. Since Apartheid ended more than 20 years ago and these trends are deepening, it seems that the decay has not swayed most voters away from the policies that caused the issues.
So it seems that democracy is working as intended.
Democracy means that the country belongs to the people, not some chosen elite, and it is up to the people alone what they will do with their country.
If South Africans really like their country the way it is, it is their right and their democratic choice.

But in the past couple years Hunt has disavowed that article and he is a Revisionist again and he stands by his content, including that video I posted.
Interesting. How he answers to his own questions in this article, what is now his explanation what happened to the one million+ deported to the Operation Reinhard camps who were never seen again?
"parallel society in the 2020's USA"
There are many families and small groups rejecting System Approved (TM) normie way of life and living fully "parallelly" because they are small and quiet enough to stay under the radar. You do not have to go full hobo mode.
When you grow enough to be noticeable, the problems begin. TPTB have so many legal options to crush you like a bug it is not even funny.
edit: links linked
Like it or not a parallel society in the 2020's USA needs an alternative to big tech, hollywood, etc, and 'just be Amish' is unworkable
Being Amish also will not be workable in a long term.
Amish existence relies on big pile of unprincipled extemptions from the system with dubious constitutional legality, that were granted long ago, and could be revoked at any time when TPTB decide that Amish are problems that needs to be solved (before it grows into unmanageable size as in Israel).
It will not come as bolt from clear sky, Amish have rather good PR among normies, so to do it, full propaganda artillery preparation would be needed. The best angle to go about it would be animal rights - Amish attituda to animals is fully trad, with all what this means.

Questioning The Holocaust - Why We Believed (Eric Hunt Documentary)
It is significant that Eric Hunt, notable and prominent holocaust revisionist, left the movement and officially admitted that the holocaust happened roughly as described by mainstream history.
He hadn't become "repentant and reformed Nazi", he just found out that holocaust revisionism is not true, and also not helpful at all.
I greatly sympathize with Ernst Zundel, imprisoned for years in Canada and Germany. Zundel was trying to save Germany from the disaster they face today. Merkel-misled Germany is a nation ravaged by rape, murder, and terrorism by Arab and African immigrants flooding into the country by the millions, all induced by a pathological Holocaust guilt complex.
...
In many ways I feel the “denial” issue held me back from tackling other issues essential to the survival of Western Civilization. Especially Nationalism, race realism, and opposing the very real Jewish-led white genocide campaign.

the heritability of political views is extremely high
Correction: heritability of personality traits is extremely high, and how these traits manifest in support of political views is culturally and historically contingent.
2020's veteran MAGA Red American in, for example, 1920's USSR would be also Red, hard core Bolshevik Red. Probably Workers' Opposition bitching about party bureaucracy betrayal of the revolution and working class. If only comrade Vladimir Ilych knew about it!

I would still guess that South Korea is the one plumbing the deepest depths of how far things can fall, but even they are showing the slightest glimmer of things turning around.
Imagine complete outsider learning about US only from social media - he would think that all American problems are caused by racism and transgenderism, that average American is transgender or Neo-Nazi (or both).

Well, maybe. Let's see how many weapons they're able to build after being bombed like this.
It begins.
Yes, Iran is (or was) industrial country, world's 10th steel producer.
It is not about freedom and democracy any more (LOL, never had been) but about reducing the country to the medieval age.
Yes, they can do it. WW2 examples do not matter - in 1944, precision bombing meant hitting the right borough of right city, today it means hitting the right pane of the right window of the right building.

Most of what he's saying sounds pretty copey.
After everything that happened, most of what he says sounds superhumanly calm and level headed, looking to the future instead of past grudges.
Loren Balhorn: When you met people, didn’t you often ask yourself if they had been Nazis?
Theodor Bergmann: I knew that about some people. Professor Röhm, he was the rector for the anniversary in 1968, 150 years of Hohenheim. He said to me: “Mr Bergmann, I was foolish. My wife was smarter. I was foolish, but I’m not a Nazi anymore.” I can understand that: “I learned.”
Loren Balhorn: You can accept that? That was enough for you?
Theodor Bergmann: That was enough for me, yes. I can’t say “you’re guilty forever”. The people didn’t know any better. He’s from a small village, the village was full of Nazis. “But my wife was smarter,” he said. I accept that.
I don’t believe in collective guilt! There were Nazis and there were others. I have nothing to do with the Nazis, but I’m in solidarity with the others. We’re trying to do something better.

Nothing about Rogan specifically - to your average Norm. N. Normie, big number is a big number. Million, billion, trillion - if it is above the magnitudes he uses regularly in his personal life, it is just lump of zeroes.
BTW, was Joe Rogan also asked how many people are there on Earth in total?

More mysterious posts from WH.
Option 2 it seems to be, it is deliberate strategy to spread FUD. If you insist on monitoring the situation, monitor the islands and coasts of Iran, not WH xitter.
1/ White House Xitter intern by mistake posted video from his personal fodder, be thankful it was not the gay Nazi furry porn fodder.
2/ White House is trolling Xitter audience for purpose. Every minute situation monitorers dedicate to decoding meaning of this mysterious boot signal, is minute they cannot dedicate to other habbenings in the world.
EDIT: It was my 1000th post! Time to celebrate!

world where hunger essentially isn't a concern, the common man having access to healthcare that was beyond the reach of emperors
After 100 years of scientific and technological progress, the workers are not starving any more, how great!
You mistake communism for trade unionism.
Communism was never about higher pay and longer lunch breaks for proletarians, and it was ever less about wokeness and LGBTQ+. It was about building new world, world free of all oppression and exploitation, world where man in brother to man, not wolf. This is what communists believed in, this is what they were dying and killing for.
(to quote famous post-Soviet "We tried the best, happened as usual")
Here is one very rare piece of history - interview with last pre-WW2 German Jewish communist (the ultimate devil for many ppl out there). The hypothetical man IRL.
“A Communist Doesn’t Whine — He Shows His Teeth”
Theodor Bergmann, who passed away in 2017 at the age of 101, was the last of his kind. Born to a middle-class Jewish family in Berlin in 1916, he gravitated to Germany’s explicitly socialist workers’ movement as a young boy and remained what he called a “critical Communist” for the rest of his life. Known among friends and comrades as “Young Theo,” he was, as Mario Kessler wrote, “the last participant and eyewitness to the German labor movement of the Weimar era.”
Most of the interview is about the vanished world of interwar Europe, but here is how he feels about modernity.
TL;DR: He does not think 62 different brands of toilet paper in every supermarket equal paradise on earth.
Everything in our society today is swindle and betrayal. Even the words are lies. “Social market economy,” “people’s shares,” “capital formation in workers’ hands” — everything is a lie today, there are no true words left. The “social market economy” is gone, now we have the “new social market economy.” Everything is a lie!
An expression of a defeat, an expression of our inability to create our own media and make ourselves self-sufficient, and an expression of our weakness. The Left back then had self-confidence — we don’t have that today. We have a deep depression. There are only a few who would write in the newspaper, “I’m a Communist”. What’s happening in America now — that this old man says, “I’m a socialist!” — is unthinkable [in Germany], but it must happen.

Past a certain point, sanctions are going to come down
Sanctions from whom?
China does not GAF, they want to make money.
India GAF about Muslim lives even less.
Russia the same.
Muslim world? It already sanctions Israel or sanctioned in the recent past, Israel lived with it.
Europe? Maybe, if it goes fully Muslim or woke but this is not happening soon, and Europe is not so important as it used to be (and getting less important every day).
US? Again, it will require all boomer Evangelicals die off, and this will not happen soon either.

Israel is not giving up anything.
And being "normal country"? This was the dream of old school Zionists, who imagined "Belgium of the East", cozy Viennese coffee house in the desert of Middle East. Not going to happen.
Current and coming generations have another plans and another dreams.

I was told repeatedly by the US government, Israeli government, and many users on this board that Hezbollah was destroyed. I wonder who is destroying the dozens of Merkava tanks every night which I can watch on telegram.
Meanwhile, one million of Shiite inhabitants of South Lebanon fled their homes. They will be never let back (and will have nowhere to return).
They were the "sea" in which Hezbollah was swimming, they were source of Hezbollah recruits and reinforcements. This is over, this is now Israeli land, ancient land of Asher and Naphtali tribes restored.
Hezbollah can for some time hide in the ruins, until they are bombed out and hunted down. That's all.

There is not always a long arc of morality.
It depends how you define "morality" and "winning" in the long terms. Many causes marched towards to victory, and few of these victories looked as the founders of movement would imagine triumph.
If, for example, first century Christian fell asleep for 1000 years and woke up in 11th century, what would he think? He would be dismayed that Jesus hadn't returned yet, and he would be even more revolted by this barbarian world that reveres Jesus by worshipping golden idols and sheds rivers of blood in his name.
He would see history of this thousand years as complete triumph of satan and possibly started to question his whole faith.
The same with more modern examples. What would communist from 1926 think about world of 2026? He would see it as maximally degenerate and depraved world where capitalism won in the most decisive way possible and stomped the workers of the world to the dirt.

laugh at the outgroup
This was not happening, and this shows that this forum is really elite discussion forum not like any other. Nearly everyone here recognizes JCC as idealist devoted to cause of liberation of working class of the world, and his case as more tragic than comic.
Just few people argued that Marxist activism of JCC is just excuse to gain fame and sex, but these arguments fail flat.
250M is lots of money. With such cash, you could build replica of Nero's palace in all of its ancient glory (yea, in less prestigious location and not up to ancient craftsmanship standards), then fill it with harem of catgirls and catboys and livestream the orgies.
This way, you could become one of the most famous people of the world (and also undermine capitalism by several magnitudes more than anything JCC was doing).
But this is not what JCC wanted.
Best entries will be rewarded with eternal revolutionary glory and virtual Stalin Golden Prize.
Thread is over, the time for grading is now.
And the winner is ... anyone who mentioned human capital.
Old time communists won over one third of humanity because they were Elite Human Capital of the time.
This is not the case any more, EHC lost interest long ago, modern self identified communists are rather sorry bunch.
Could this situation be reversed? Could Elite Communist Human Capital be rebuilt out of nothing? Probably not, this historical moment really passed for good.

The goal is more or less to reduce capacity for the RCI bloc to project power.
Since the "axis of resistance" bloc does not seem to be in any way real (excepting Russian-North Korean friendship and brotherhood), this mission had been already accomplished.

So how low a percentage of a group can be destroyed before it's no longer an attempted genocide?
"Genocide" is legal category, and, as such, this is something to be settled by precedent.
As is what exactly counts as " national, ethnical, racial or religious group" for the purposes of the Convention.
Unfortunately, legal proceedings for genocide are scarce, and the defendants in these case argued "we are good boys, we didn't do anything" instead of "yeah we did it, but they were terrorists, not any legitimate "ethnic group".
Just let ICC work for few hundred years for case law to accumulate.

I mean. They could voluntarily reform themselves into a peace-loving liberal democracy.
When we talk about Iran in this debate, we talk about Iranian state and regime, not ordinary Iranian people.
As analogy, when wargamer nerds debate: "If you were Napoleon and it was morning 18 June 1815, what would be your optimal moves?" no one would answer "Just surrender, end this pointless bloodshed, let the soldiers go home back to their moms".

They don't have moves that improve their situation left
Well, persuade Russia and China (mostly China) to create real alliance. Explain to China that with their full support Iran could become killing ground for US like Ukraine is killing ground for Russia. Explain to China that when Iran falls, Russia will be next and China will be left facing Great Satan(TM) all alone.
Yes, we all know this is not going to happen, we know that only future for Iran is martyrdom.

Yes, we live in cyberpunk age of universal surveillance. When TPTB want to find you, you are not getting away.
You can still do things, but only once. No second chances. Ever.
One of the detainees is Youssef Moursi, born in Egypt and a U.S. citizen. He is a student in Czechia, writes articles for the far-left group Druhá Směna, and is also active with Shella Radio, nur.prague, and tadamun_kollektive, which operate out of the Ankali club in Prague.
They face 20 years to life in prison for a terrorist offense.
Youssef Moursi (he/she/they) is an activist, student, and passionate photographer exploring themes like queerness, love, nightlife, and identity. Deep appreciation of intersectional feminism and ‘postcolonial’ studies have been instrumental in shaping his/her/their identity, freeing her from preconceived labels and societal constraints. Continuously learning, they embrace ongoing growth.
For him words "Free Palestine" stand for an indigenous, anti-imperialist, queer, feminist, brown, black, environmental, and anti-colonial uprising; a call for a world liberated from ongoing neo-colonialism. Her beliefs center around collective solidarity and fighting against systemic oppression, while giving love and healing with communities. Right now Youssef is studying at FHS UK.
A New Year's resolution for the ummah. To imagine a decolonial future.
More works of queer postcolonial feminist theory here.
Sadly, Youssef Moursi neglected to study more practical skills, but despite their failing, their result was rather respectable.
Another will come after them who will learn from their mistakes, get ready for interesting times.

Things are happening, and are going to happen in even more spectacular way.
President Trump is weighing a military operation to extract nearly 1,000 pounds of uranium from Iran, a complex and risky mission that would likely put American forces inside the country for days or longer.
Yes, you can do in the real life dungeon crawl from fantasy fiction and gaming, first time since Vietnam tunnel warfare. Yes it would be awesome.(to monitor from far away now, ofc.)
Of course it is disinfo, of course the real boots on the grounds will arrive somewhere else in completely unexpected place. No way would Commander-in-Chief announce his plans to the enemy in the open. This couldn't happen.
