Tradition ist die Weitergabe des Feuers und nicht die Anbetung der Asche.




The thing that will make America more like Japan is if we turn into an insular people, focused on our past and our heritage and our purity. You're so frightened of America you want to turn it into a foreign country.




Kings made tombs more splendid than the houses of the living, and counted the old names of their descent dearer than the names of their sons. Childless lords sat in aged halls musing on heraldry, or in high, cold towers asking questions of the stars. And so the people of Gondor fell into ruin.

Past tense being used here to indicate death I assume? My condolences, though at this point even a soldier who enlisted at 17 in '45 would be 97 or something.


In the fifties and sixties this might have been accurate to a reasonable degree, there were zero Indian Americans born in Michigan who went on to become important scholars. One could ignore them or wish them away. That isn't the case now, one must deal with Kash Patel and Akhil Reed Amar whether one likes it or not.

You're using a foreign language to try to import a foreign concept from a foreign culture. Akhil Reed Amar is not a foreigner, you'd know this if you knew anything about him, or his work.


"Foreigner" as a word in American English does not describe a person born in Michigan, raised in California, living in Connecticut. If you used it in conversation it would confuse people. You're reaching for the Japanese concept because you want to make my country more like Japan, I don't.

You're using foreign concepts from foreign languages to try to tell me about America. There's a reason that there is no equivalent American word, because there is no equivalent American concept, because that is a fundamentally foreign belief system.

The anti-Iran "alliance" here is presumably capable of blockading Iran's ports just as well.




Everyone is capable of blockading oil traffic, but when you live there it's holding a gun to your own leg because nobody wants to deal with a series of giant oil spills just off your coastline.

Odd standard, US military bases open your entire country to bombing.


The IRGC is operating on the theory that the gulf is cowardly and the USA has ADHD. They may yet be proven right, but their target selection reflects a preference for efficient soft targets not precise political punishment.

What politician's career has been ruined? Trump was president when the lockdowns and masks were at their height, he is back in office. What businessman has faced consequences? The closest I can get is maybe Cuomo, but that was mostly other stuff and general distaste for him personally.


Various heterodox figures were predicting obscene consequences from vaccine deaths. They still have followings as large if not larger.


Fauci is a million years old, in a functioning society the same guy in power during AIDS shouldn't have been in charge six years ago anyway.

Note that the few ships traveling through the strait are currently using a small area near the Iranian coastline.


I have strong suspicions that the non Iranian ships doing so have made "donations" to appropriate Iranian parties for safe passage.

This is a crisis I've faced personally, as I've reached middle age and become a local curmudgeon.


I use marijuana products, and I'm in favor of legalization in general.


But I was driving by my old high school and the gas station across the street was advertising, with a HUGE banner outside, for Delta-8 Gummies. And I'm quite a fan of taking an edible with my wife when I have an evening I want to enjoy at home, but...there are kids there? And especially for a semi-legal product like Delta-8, are the Dinergoth or pakistani cashiers going to check IDs for a product that they don't legally need to check IDs on? And for teenagers that are buying something they need to hide from their parents, are they going to use it responsibly, or are they going to take it in the parking lot and drive home getting high as they go?


And I caused a big stink with the local police and the town meetings until they put enough pressure on the owners to stop selling it.


I'm fine with people getting high, but you should need to put in some effort. Go to a weird head shop downtown in the city, speak to some shady people, feel a little naughty and a little guilty. But don't sell it to kids! And don't sell it to kids casually, on the way home from track, where I used to stop and get a hot chocolate or a gatorade after practice.


I'm becoming less libertarian when I see the frictionless world we're headed for with so many vices.

It's odd how no one has suffered any public consequences for being wrong. Neither the people promoting lockdowns, nor the people fear-mongering on vaccine deaths, have been vindicated by time; but neither group has been chastened in their views, instead sharpening their arguments to refight the last war when the next comes around.


Which, when I read And The Band Played On and recognized so many names, I realized was how we got the retarded policies we did during COVID: the public health apparatus was refighting GRID/HIV-AIDS, and most of the policies implemented were policies that they wish they would have implemented in the early days of GRID.

Does anyone actually like this?




I don't. It is increasingly absurdist levels of unaesthetic.


But I suspect it's just an extreme form of in-group availability signaling. By getting these surgeries, you signal to males in your in-group that you are available to them sexually. Males in your in-group start to associate those signals with sexual availability and eroticize them, consciously or subconsciously. Traits or choices that aren't inherently attractive become attractive because they signal sexual availability.


A lot of women's aesthetic choices make sense in that context. All female sexual attractiveness in the moment is a combination of how physically attractive she is and how sexually available she seems to be. Men are drawn to women that are hot, first and foremost, but also to women they think will sleep with them.


The phenomenon of Mar-A-Lago face isn't telling us that the women in TrumpWorld are or aren't hot or how they value naturalness, it's telling us that they are broadly speaking sluts.


Personally, Mrs. FiveHour ironically bought a set of Juicy Couture sweats on Poshmark, and I think they're the hottest thing on her, because I associate a Juicy Couture tracksuit in my brain with the "hot" girls from high school. There's nothing inherently sexy about the Juicy Couture tracksuit, it's shapeless and lumpy, I find it sexy because I associate it with girls that advertised themselves as sexually available in the hallways.


Mar-a-Lago face is a signal to men in such circles, whether it's literally within conservative Mar-a-Lago circles or it's just rich people more generally, that you put out. And even if a woman isn't actually interested in sleeping around, the possibility drives male attention.

I agree that most women would prefer not to have that, but in the grainy truth of reality, I know women with worse marriages than that, who would do well to trade their current husbands who don't have sex with them for a rich gay husband who doesn't have sex with them.


At any rate, when I ran a straw poll the most common number of marriageable prospects reported by Mottizens was 1 or 2. (Reinforcing that I am some mix of immensely lucky and a slut with low standards) He only needs to find one woman into the idea out of the whole vast universe of people.

We should, but I don't know how to weight it, as an American big L Liberal, because I don't know if that deal was ever considered credibly on the table, or if it was just a salami slice to Ukrainian subjugation. Also, Crimea is a concern, as it ruins the contiguous map of Ukraine, it's a dagger through the heart of Ukraine.


Nationalists all want France's Frontières naturelles de la France, the mountain ranges rivers and seas that form France's modern boundaries, that create a contiguous country without strong external threats. Few countries resemble such things naturally, they require something like the Napoleonic wars to produce.

Bias disclosure: I am not convinced of the sacred uniqueness of the Ukrainian people, and think they probably should have stayed part of Russia after the fall of the USSR.


The problem with any national border is that it wants to be a bunch of things at the same time. Administratively convenient, contiguous, following clear natural boundaries, and containing all the X on one side and all the Y on the other. This can only be achieved by violence.


This war could be the violent birth of a real Ukrainian nation.


But redrawing boundaries and announcing they are not sacrosanct is equally fraught with danger.


It's also an extremely common trope of nationalists from Magyars to Israelis to seek larger borders.

They'd prefer, even more, a future with more Ukrainians in a larger Ukraine, and they might not be averse to reeducating misguided Russian-speakers, or expelling them. Certainly, they aren't going to accept reduction of their borders.

and for most of his second term.




Homeboy, we're not even halfway through the second term, and we've committed to at least two acts of war (I'll spot you bombing Yemen).




...seeing as the anti-war Dems have never trusted—and will never trust—Trump in the first place.




Which is my point, betraying your base to appeal to your enemies by turning on Israel won't work, because your enemies won't trust you anyway.

The underlying tension is the definition of "The Nation" that is being protected or promoted through these wars.


Attalus III deeded his kingdom to Rome in his will, knowing that inevitably Rome would subsume his kingdom regardless, and this avoided violence and death in his population. He protected his population, and while initially they weren't Roman citizens, their descendants likely became citizens later. I don't have the classicist juice to be able to trace Pergamese(?) families through time, but maybe it's been done. Maybe, genetically, those families were better off over time, with more and better off descendants as a result?


The modern Nationalist view, on the other hand, is that cultural extinction as a unique ethnic group is just as bad as genetic extinction. Zionists would not consider a future in which genetic descendants of Jews were numerous, but they didn't identify as Jews or practice Judaism. Zionists would prefer a future of a million practicing Jews to a future of fifty million undifferentiated Jewish descended people.


Ukrainian nationalists would prefer a future of a smaller Ukraine with fewer Ukrainians, to a future with more numerous Ukrainian descendants who speak Russian.
