Meanwhile, my Catholic friend has argued more than once that the only possible explanation for the Salem Witch Trials… is that most of the accused actually were literal-pacts-with-Satan witches. That it's "impossible" to read the first-hand accounts and not conclude that "something clearly demonic" was happening in Salem.

you and your social security check.




Assumes the SSI checks still keep coming, despite living in a foreign country after having fled a Democrat "de-Nazification" program gone democidal. (Especially if I still need a representative payee then.)


And SSI pays less than the minimum pension amount ($1000 US/mo) for the Costa Rican "Pensionado Program" (let alone the $2500 US/mo for the Rentista Program).

Paraguay would welcome you,




According to a cursory search, part of the process for getting even two-year temporary residency (apparently, permanent residency requires a minimum investment of $70,000?) is a "Paraguayan medical certificate," a document confirming one is in good physical and mental health. Wouldn't schizophrenia be an issue for that?

That’s the story of the Aztecs




What are you talking about? The Aztecs were not the entire human race — Tenochtitlan was like, what, 200k people? And, AIUI, the various subject peoples of the Aztecs were a big part of overthrowing them.


India was not the entire human race, and again, British takeover was mostly with a lot of Indian leaders becoming clients of the EIC so as to point them at their enemies… which, I suppose, is the strategy you are pointing to? That we'll somehow find a way to inflame the hostilities between various non-white groups to the point it overwhelms their mutual hatred for whitey…


…while I think they'll be able to put those differences aside long enough to render us extinct.


And those still aren't examples of a hundred white people defeating several billion nonwhites in one go.

Hasn't Milei tightened up residency requirements?


Plus, with a quick cursory search, I'm not seeing for which of these visas I'd qualify.

We also do have numeracy examples of 100 winning.




Against several billion? If there are numerous (that's the word you were looking for, not "numeracy" — maybe try acquiring some more literacy) examples of a hundred white people winning against the entire rest of the human species, then name one.

My past (albeit limited) research on the topic has indicated that there's probably no country on Earth that lets welfare-dependent schizophrenics immigrate. But (just to double check), if one were to have to flee America (say, come 2029), which countries would be the best shot?

Whites don’t lose in war when united.




Nonsense. I mean, not even most "white supremacists" of my acquaintance think that whites are so superior that they can overcome any numerical disadvantage, no matter how huge. I mean, consider a scenario where whites have shrunk to about 100 people, against 8 billion+ non-whites — including quite a few intelligent and technologically-competent people (like the East Asians). Are you saying that so long as those hundred whites are "united," they'll triumph despite the > 80-million-to-one disparity?


And besides, as the Dreaded Jim likes to say, whites are wolves to whites. We aren't united, and we won't be united. Even when we're 5% or less of the American population.

Who would rule?




It doesn't matter. Power can be contested and fought over and whites looted, oppressed, pogrommed, etc.


So we have a "Vivek type" in charge of the Fuck Whitey Coalition for a few years, with the property and labor of whites expropriated to the primary benefit of high-caste Indians, then an internal power struggle puts the "African" faction in the ascendancy, and we get one of them in charge of the Fuck Whitey Coalition, and the expropriated property and labor of whites goes mostly to the blacks for a bit. Then his lack of competence puts a mestizo Hispanic in place to depose him, so now whites are being oppressed for the benefit of mestizo Hispanics. Then a Chinese guy (with quiet CCP backing) tosses him out, and now whitey is looted to benefit the Chinese. Then he dies, and the Hispanics and blacks get into a low-level civil war — with plenty of street level ethnic violence — for a bit… and both sides rob Whitey for loot to fund their conflict…


Ask the Jews how power struggles over leadership in Medieval Europe worked out for them.


Edit: and it's not like you need someone to "rule" for people to deal with murderous cannibals living among them. (See also this).

Balkanization is far more likely.




And how did things go for the minority groups in the Balkans… and how would they have probably ended up if outside powers hadn't intervened?




Blacks and browns are not going to align with Asians and Indians.




Sure they will; the same way Genghis Khan united the warring, feuding, fractious Mongol clans: by providing a common enemy to fight… and plunder.


This is a point Steve Sailer has been reiterating for a couple decades now: that "hating whitey" is the "KKKrazy glue holding together the Coalition of the Fringes." I see no reason for it to become less effective as the white demographic shrinks… and thus becomes easier to kick around and loot.




All those groups moved to America because they liked what white people built even if it was just economic migration.




Because they liked it, or because they want to loot it?




They have little common beliefs amongst them.




But they do have the common belief that the white man is evil and screwing them over, so do they need anything more?


I keep encountering this argument, that as whites become a smaller and minority, we'll never have anything to fear; that even when we're down to 10% or less of the population, we can never face any real oppression, because the majority will be too diverse, divided, and busy fighting each other to ever do anything to us. I've encountered it here more than once.


And it's nonsense. Ahistorical nonsense.


To give the most obvious example how, apply this argument to Jews in Medieval Europe. The Teutonic Knights are fighting the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the Novgorod Republic — and vice versa — and they all hate each other, so the Jews are perfectly safe. Those people are all too busy warring with each other to commit any pogroms, don't you know?


Or look at diaspora Chinese in Southeast Asia. (Read Lee on what he had to deal with in Singapore.)


The enemy of my enemy is my friend. And groups that hate each other have had no problems, historically, in dishing out the abuse to minorities — especially materially-successful "middleman minority" types — they both hate.

I don’t think this country can have a non-assimilated Latino population and continue to function.




Depends on what you mean by "function." We can probably maintain Brazilian levels of "functional" under such conditions, at least for awhile. (As a South African guest on one of the podcasts I listen to put it, the US has already become Brazil, Brazil is becoming South Africa, South Africa is becoming Haiti, and the whole chain will continue down to the inevitable outcome of Global Haiti.)

This halftime show (as well as last year) is anti white propaganda and it’s starting to make normies absolutely furious.




So what? What does it matter how furious they get, as they sit and impotently stew in their fury, doing nothing?




but history doesn’t take kindly to minorities making the majority feel unsafe and unwelcome.




Assuming whites are still the majority — plenty of people in my social circles believe we're already a minority (the "official figures" being deliberate lies from a hostile government, the actual number of illegal immigrants being at least an order of magnitude higher…).


Edit: And it's not just some of us "far-right crazies" saying we're the minority now. As Democrat Gene Wu, minority leader of the Texas House of Representatives, said in an interview a couple months ago:




"The day the Latino, African American, Asian and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning, because we are the majority in this country now, we have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone and to make things fairer."




(Emphasis added.)

The field grade officers in the military are still conservative.




Yes, but they still follow lawful orders from leftist superiors, don't they? I've been reassured by veterans that, while it might be different in other countries, the men of the US military are a higher breed of soldier, who will never put their personal political sympathies ahead of obedience to the chain of command (particularly their immediate superiors), never mutiny, never refuse an order unless they're certain it's unlawful (which makes sense; after all, if you do refuse, and the following court martial decides the order was lawful? Say hello to Leavenworth), will never violate their oath to uphold the Constitution… as defined by SCOTUS and their superiors, will never carry out a coup, will never…


You get the idea.

It's not like there are two Pentagons, one for each side.




Hegseth sends his loyal men try to arrest/shoot the Obama Generals and their men; while, at the same time, the Obama Generals send their loyal men try to arrest Hegseth and his men, while both happen to be at different places — one side visiting the White House, the other at the Pentagon. Or, say, Hegseth's out at Cheyenne mountain when they try.


So picture this: you've got the Obama generals holed up in the Pentagon, issuing orders to the US military to uphold their oath and defend the Constitution from the domestic enemy, the rogue Hegseth and his lackeys who are illegally occupying NORAD; and you've got Hegseth holed up in Cheyenne Mountain, issuing orders to the US military to uphold their oath and defend the Constitution from the domestic enemy, the traitorous generals illegally occupying the Pentagon.


As for the rest of the military, the rank-and-file?


Oh, they're perfectly unified and in 100% agreement that it's their sworn duty to take action and protect the Legitimate Government from the Domestic Enemy…


…but they disagree quite strongly as to which is which.


What happens then?

Depends on which set of "right wingers" you're talking about. But in the context of my more "normal Republican voter" acquaintances, with respect to Democratic Party politicians, I'd say Gavin Newsom.

Sounds more like a recipe for getting robbed than a path for meeting the future mother of my children — but then, didn't we have someone on here (it might have been the "Hock" guy) who argued that getting stabbed from time to time is just the price some men have to be willing to pay to get a girlfriend?


Edit: plus, I don't have a well-stocked liquor cabinet, for reasons of both lack of money and medication interactions.

and the beginning of populism dominating the west for decades to come.




I think this is serious wishful thinking. The most likely scenario, as I see it, is as follows:


    

  1. Democrats narrowly win the midterms later this year.
    2. 

  2. Everything the Trump 2.0 admin has been accomplishing (not that there's all that much, really) is brought to a stop, or even rolled back. ICE grinds to a halt. Hegseth gets sidelined. USAID funding gets restored through various alternative bodies and channels (to the extent it hasn't already). Lawfare intensifies. We get at least another impeachment attempt or two
    3. 

  3. The Republican Party establishment responds with the narrative they've already been circulating, preemptively, in anticipation of a midterm loss: it’s because we went too far right with Trump and are “scaring the hoes” — that we haven’t done enough to deplatform Carlson, Fuentes, etc. and get them taken of the airwaves interwebs (you know, that silly series of tubes that the young'uns are watching instead of proper TV — surely it can't be harder to get someone removed than it was to get the networks to pay no attention to people like the Birchers, right?); that we haven’t done nearly enough Buckleyite expulsions (see the "edgy jokes in group chat" and “Heritage society Shabbat dinner" purges); and that the party’s only path to regain all those "natural conservative" voters "scared off" by all the "extremism" and "flirting with fascism" is to "tack to the center" with "traditional conservatism" (like forever wars in the Middle East, and shipping your jobs overseas), and become the Republican Party of Mitt Romney again. (You know, the party of virtuous losers, the Washington Generals of politics, whose job — to paraphrase a Republican campaign strategist (whose interview I've been unable to find again) — is to knowingly lie and make false promises to working-class rubes to get elected, then when in office deliver  corporate welfare for the GOP donor class.) So they find a way to push out Vance, and run someone like Rubio, Haley, or maybe even Youngkin.
    4. 

  4. With Democratic voters energized and the Republican base demoralized, the Democrats win handily.
    5. 

  5. Then, as mitchfynde on Tumblr puts it:
    6. 





My ultimate vision for the United States of America right now is Gavin Newsome running for president with the slogan "lock him up". He wins and Nuremberg trials are held. Trump's administration is sent to prison, or worse, I don't really care which at this point.
When Trump eventually dies of old age (or otherwise), MAGAts can begin to deprogram from the cult… The Democratic Party will begin to introduce legislation that will more correctly guardrail democracy against fascism. AI and social media will face regulations. Funding of education will increase with the hopes of a population better inoculated against fascist ideology.




    

  1. Populism is killed completely in the West.
    2. 



(Then things get worse from there.)

Only if the military actually divides then there would be a civil war.




And that's the point — our military does appear to be pretty divided. Hegseth vs. Obama-era generals. Red-tribe "tip of the spear" fighting men vs. women and "diversity" in the more logistical roles. Blue state National Guard vs. red state National Guard.


And I don't see how your "fear of internal nuclear war" will force them to stay united. The existence of nukes didn't prevent any of the post-1945 international wars, did it? Russia and NATO both having nukes hasn't prevented conventional war in Ukraine, has it?

This seems unnecessarily defeatist. The law is ultimately semi-formalised human judgements, and humans are perfectly capable of making judgements without rigid rubrics.




Except a major strain of liberalism (I keep going back to what Michael Munger said in an interview as an example, where he compared all power and authority to the One Ring) holds that, no, human judgement can't be trusted, not in matters of governance, and that the whole liberal project — Weber's "rationalization" and "bureaucratization" — is about replacing all human judgement, in matters of authority, with procedure. With algorithms, based in "rigid rubrics," with no exceptional cases, such that any human beings remaining in government are quality-agnostic carbon hardware upon which that software runs, like the man in Searle's Chinese room. "I don't make the rules, I just follow them" and all that. A set of algorithms so complete, so perfect in aligning incentives, that, per Kant, they can produce optimal outcomes even from a "society of rational devils." Systems so perfect that no one will need to be good, as T.S. Eliot put it.


(And isn't fully formalized human (moral) judgements the aim of "alignment"?)
