Not quite as direct but Argentina is getting interesting. Thiel has moved there for 2 months. Milei was just parting in Israel and secured some tech packages/funding. The country isn’t their yet, but it’s the long-term outpost of a maga-Israel S America hub.

Everything I’ve seen that is exactly what they were doing. They were paying people in the groups to fund their events.
It’s not like we haven’t seen this before. The noose in nascar. Duke Lacrosse. Lots of people create racism for profit.
This reminds me a lot of Britain paying for pythons in India.

For your comment on “Is the SPLC secret white supremacists” I think people are saying it’s a “no”.
The idea would be that the SPLC needed white supremacists incidents to show their donors in order to continue to raise money from their donors. The SPLC couldn’t find any white supremacists so they funded some guys to be white supremacists. Then they show their donors what they did to combat the white supremacists. Basically like finding 10 guys saying stuff on Twitter and giving them money to meet in person and have a gathering.
The fraud was the issue was non-existent but the management of SPLC didn’t want to shut down and wanted to keep their jobs. So they created a problem so they could raise donations to pay their own salaries.

Would it be fair to say the views of “Unite the Right” people is just the median or center left view of an under 35 voter today? The worst thing they chanted was “The Jews will not replace us” which it feels like the majority of people share that view now.

This was my immediate thought to. I don’t know the criminal law but if the SPLC did this it is still fraud by the layman’s definition.

I always read disclaimers like yours and think have you tried religion. Fairly certain you are younger than me in part because everyone younger than me seems to have mental health illnesses. Why does everyone younger than me have depression or ADHD. I am 100% comfortable in my skin. I am not 100% confident in my accomplishments.
I probably do have alcoholism. It’s likely in part genetic. Son of a bar owner. I remember someone younger saying I had an aura; that seems to just be comfortable in yourself which is really weird to younger people today.

I don’t believe it’s a strawman. Yes you want to say it’s a strawman because it improves your arguments and makes it more prestigious.
But Jews are just “rich white people” is the only thing that connects all the issues the left has promoted recently. Third Worlders versus successful white people. DEI, BLM, etc common thread is that they attack richer, better, smarter white people who win. Brown people without a white enemy to attack never matter to the left.
When you only promote issues where they hurt white men then it seems apparent you just want to hurt white men.
Now I will admit there are always some with pure intentions. Some black people in blm. In this issue you have some pure Islamists who want to do river to the sea Jews will be gone because they rightfully view Israel as historically Muslim land and want to reconquista which is their right. And are using American leftists white man haters for their Muslim goals.
Being Jewish and at a Synagogue isn’t quite the same thing as being black. I understand people’s desire to keep the culture of their parents buts it’s still a CHOICE to be Jewish and at a Synagogue. American Jewish money and votes are a big reason why Israel wins wars. Maybe just being at a Synagogue doesn’t make you complicit with Israel but at what point would you be part of their war effort? A person donating to AIPAC or more?
Now I am not saying any random person gets to take action here. But at some point you end up being a Nazi and a Frenchmen living in NYC in 1942 and you become 2 people who are actually in war living in a third country.
So I will asks you a question what actions by the Jewish Synagogue would make it not “Collective Guilt” for a man with family killed by Israel to shoot them?
To answer your final question would an American be justified shooting up a mosque who had losts a family member in 9/11? Potentially yes.

I think the perpetrator in that case….just read the article….did in fact have proper cause to shoot up a synagogue. He’s still my enemy. Most Jews do support Israel, many go on their free trip to Israel, vote for US guns to go to Israel, and the key point ISRAEL did kill a bunch of his family in Lebanon. Human groups do have conflict. He doesn’t have the state capacity to go win a war and remove Israel. This isn’t mistake theory….he is/was properly at war with Israel. Same thing Bin Laden the US did arm a regime that was against his interests. He had a proper cause to hit the US and the US being mightier after being hit had cause to torture and kill his supporters. It’s war. Civilizations are clashing and they kill each other.
My personal vote is we should have never let a Lebanese Muslim into the country. There’s no crying in war. If your tribe kills a guys family then yes he’s allowed to try and kill your tribe.
That’s not a defense he has to get off for murder but it is a moral justification for revenge. And I support the US cops killing him.

Dems are demanding it for one (Yglesias)[https://x.com/mattyglesias/status/2045619973586837717?s=46]
And second interests groups do tend to only support one party. Catholics only vote GOP. Evangelicals GOP. Blacks Dem. Historically Jews Dem. Sure you can say this isn’t 100% support but these group have been 85% voting and donating to one party.
Why should the GOP back Israel when Dems won’t yet 85% of Jews vote Dem and donate to Dems. Politics is transactional.

Modern leftist anti-semitism is not historical antisemitism. It’s an offshoot of DEI, blacklivesmatter, woke, anti white beliefs that have grown on the left. Jews are compared to normal whites even richer and more successful. And of course they mostly have white skin. Same with anti-Zionism on the left it’s fundamentally the same as anti-colonialism leftism. Unfortunately the Jews largely backed those beliefs for decades while not realizing that eventually Ashkenazi Jews have extremely high IQ on average and win more than anyone else is modern neoliberalism and this anti-whitism logic would eventually turn on them.
And yes Israel was colonialism or probably even closer to apartheid than colonialism in N America. Except they did it historically in the 20th century. N America for the most part displaced few people as it was sparsely populated similar to Argentina. Modern Ashkenazis are as much Italians as they are genetically related to the historical people of Israel. Their richer, smarter, and better at military than the people who lived in Palestine and conquered Israel in the 20th century.
I’ve got no problem with Israel except when they act against my interests. The ADL was one of the biggest promoters of anti-whitism which has now turned on their own people.
And those “left center” or whatever you want to call them group of bloggers have been posting for days that Dems need to drop Israel because Israel is not doing enough for Democrats. Some reason this reminds me of the quote “fairness feels like oppression when your use to privilege”. Jews and Israel have been in voting and dollars backing Dems at about an 85% rate for decades. They still found support on the right because of Evangelicals end time stuff and I think a general feeling on the right that Jews in the ME are better friends than Muslims.
I think we are at a point where Jews/Israel are going to have to decide which party they back and won’t be able to play both sides anymore. I am tired of Jews running an ethnostate and opposing the West from shutting down immigration. At this point I think the Jews have no choice but to go hard right. The current forces on the left in the west love brown and unsuccessful people. The Jews are too rich and white to have a seat with the Dems.
I am disappointed Trump hasn’t struck a harder bargain with Israel. I can love the Jews if their money and political power goes all in on white nationalism. Anyway Yglesias an Noah Smith etc are saying the Jews need to do more for Dems if the want backing for Israel and I’ve been saying the opposite that we need more support from them if they want support from MAGA.
I think Yglesias just realizes Israel/Jews are unpopular with the left and pushing them out of the Democrats has political benefits but he’s acting it’s like the Jews left the Dems instead of the Dems turning against Jews first.
If we went back in time the only way Israel could fix their political problems would be backing tough border enforcement in Europe and the rest of the west. The US and Europe being filled with third worlders always meant the left would eventually become anti-Israel. And then the right wouldn’t despise Israel for backing immigration.

Someone here I remember posting that they had sold their stocks and bought only oil stocks because of the war. And that they thought they could easily swap back when it ended. Now that the war has ended do people think that was true? SPY is back at highs. Oil etf (XLE) at one month low. In my opinion it would have been hard to swap back. And I assume he has not and he’s currently at a small loss. Market moves happen fast. Faster now than ever before. I’m not even sure if the war is over. Even now you are reading Trump tea leaves.
In the last year or two I’ve pretty much decided I only want to marry within race. Preferably an Argentinian because I’m Italian. I would be a little Jew curious if they would be open to converting. Because I tend to have a lot in common with Jews and most share a lot of Italian ancestry.
I don’t want to have kids who are mystery meat and also lack a culture they are from and only have whatever modernist garbage is currently in vogue. I think it’s important to have young people who can connect to something far older than themselves.

I own a ton of snap stock. Wish I owned more. I think they have developed a niche with 12-20 year olds. An activists just got involved probably why they doing layoffs. They got down to like a $7b EV with $6b in yearly revenue.
Sometimes in the past 4 years SAAS and platforms use to trade 100x revenue. Because they have a lot of operational leverage.
That being said from a value investor standpoint if their “platform” is stable and does revenue of $6b and can turn that into even $2b in income then what’s that worth? Even a 10 multiple gets you $20b or a 2-3x return. Far high multiples if the business still growing etc.

Aren’t all girls trained in the art of seduction? Is there really some mysterious art CIA/KGB/Mossad can teach? Nearly every girl takes some kind of dance courses since they were 5 like how every boy plays t-ball. Then girls do make-up together. Talk about boys all thru high school.
Sure some are better. But most have a lot of training growing up.

Your first link brings up an interesting question for me when it says the Irish controlled the Church in America. Why is this? All the Catholic Colleges in America seem to be Irish dominant. Maybe I am forgetting some colleges. I am likely solving my own question but it’s still an interesting question.
- The came about 50 years earlier so a head start
- English fluency day 1 so that likely spread up advancement 20-40 years.
- Twice as much population today
Counters: Italians controlled more cultural and educational capital in the old world.
St John’s is the only Catholic school of note that the AI is telling me is Italian dominated though still founded by the French.

I think the strategy with taking out top leadership was entirely a strategy of changing the type of regime. Likely not literal the name of the regime but that the guy who ends up staying into the throne fears enough for his life to be friendly with the Americans. Like Venezuela. Same regime in name but essentially a US vassal on key things.

You are correct it needs to be taken only when he’s speaking “infallible”. When he’s speaking like on Iran then it’s just under advisement. My point stands though at “certain” times a Catholic POTUS obligation would be to what Rome says over domestic popular opinion. On his Iran speaking it would need to be taken under advisement and their own moral judgement.
My opinion is military target strikes are mostly fine. Targeting the electric grid probably not ok.
Most of the problems in US housing come from being unable to do explicit racial segregation so you therefore need to do regulations to make housing expensive enough to keep the poors out or they will ruin your schools and commons. The big home builders have their costs down but they can mostly only build far from city centers.
You could build city centers cheaply but regulations prevent it. If you don’t have the regulations those areas will ghettoize.
There is a slight compromise of having very vigorous policing but the only areas that have really pulled it off are NYC and Miami. Cali regulates expensive and limits public transportation. Chicago some how did north/south segregation for awhile. The rest of the Midwest once wealthy city cores are now bombed out.
