This is the most ruthless post I have and probably will ever do. This is the intellectual skeleton key to turning the west around. There are a few posts will change your perception of the world, this is one of them. There is no such thing as migrant crime. There is no such thing as migrant rapes, thefts, scams or murders. Crime is when someone within your tribe or in-group violates the rules that your own tribe has created. These are not universals, rather idealized preferences that you have as a westerner in a western country. These are not "real", they are preferences to how you want your society to function. Humans are tribal, we are not "individuals", we operate and require groups to function and succeed. That's why we have tribal instincts and tribal loyalties. Modern businesses hijack this with things like sports teams. But tribal loyalty and nationalism, which is its end derivative is the most powerful force in the world, because it quite literally is our survival mechanism. Without a tribe we cannot survive, so tribal instincts, after personal survival are our most powerful drivers. Question is what is a "tribe". Look at your hand, that's your tribe. We are concentrically loyal. Family, race, religion, region, in that order and ideally homogenized. Liberalism is a belief and an attempt to universalize the western tribe to everyone. And if everyone is subject to the standard, they are subject to both access and protection within that standard. White westerners are not exempt from this. This underlying fact is the one thing everyone tries to gloss over. But it is the underlying truth about how the world really is. The world is anarchic, what that means is there is no higher authority in the system. We form governments as a result of our tribal loyalties, to represent and organize ourselves as a tribe. That's what a "nation" is. It's the formalized structure of a tribe of people. Survival is our highest goal, and violence is a very effective way of getting resources for yourself and tribe. It's literally Cain vs Abel in the bible. Because the world is anarchic, the underlying structure behind the resolution of tribal disputes is to be resolved by violence. "Migrants", or people who are not from your tribe, are not subject to your standards or ideals. They have no responsibility to adhere to your standards, ideals or values. Their goal is to maximize their own and their tribe's resources and power. With whatever means possible, including violence. When a Pakistani clan drugs and invites everyone over to have sex with a young white girl. This is not rape. It's not gang rape. Rape, and gang rape are crimes done within your own tribe. This is inter-tribal violence. There are no rules in inter-tribal violence. This is the outcome of losing an ideological war and not understanding the primal structure of the world correctly. THEY ARE NOT YOUR TRIBE. They are not subject to your standards. When they kill 20 people in an attack at an event. This is not murder. Murder is an intra-tribal crime. This is inter-tribal conflict where they have been given access, by our own leaders to do this to you. They are predators, this is how the real world really is. These are the monsters behind the walls we worked many generations to construct. When a foreigner scams you out of money. This is not stealing. This is inter-tribal resource acquisition. They are taking resources from rival tribes. It's only fraud and theft if you believe they are apart of your tribe. THEY DO NOT THINK THIS. They do not want to be apart of your tribe, they seek to dominate, abuse and exploit you for the benefit of theirs. Western culture has universalized our system of ethics and protection to everyone. When they have not done the same to you. And here is the line I repeat to everyone. "Those who are not subject to ethics, are not subject to the protection of ethics.". Read that line as many times as you need, internalize it. Free yourself from the constrains of the propaganda levied upon you, that is what will free you. They are rival tribes, and in inter-tribal conflict. There are no rules except victory.

An awful lot of people – including people I respect on an intellectual and professional level, some of whom are professionals themselves – have been talking as if an "agreement" or "treaty" will be the defining outcome of the Iran War; to the point of saying "better than JCPOA" will be the standard by which it's tested. It's like the multi-week all-out bombing campaign which vaporized fifty years of Iranian defense industrial base buildup, including their entire ballistic missile production chain, their centrifuge production capacity and key nuclear test facilities just... didn't happen. Unlike treaties and agreements, entropy cannot be reversed, and Iran's entire physical war-making apparatus has been kinetically entropified and spread across the desert in little pieces by a biblical deluge of high explosives. And as Trump points out here, even if the Chinese decide to divert a staggering amount of yuan from their own military build-up to try and rebuild Iran's capabilities, we can just blow it up again... except with a fraction of the munitions as the heavy lift has been done already, and as the B-21 Raider comes on-line, with an exponentially dropping number of requisite airframes given the myriad advantages of stealth. If China wishes to dump billions of dollars in a desert where we can blow it up for a fraction of its cost without starting WWIII, I say let them. Operation Mullah Massacre cannot be undone. Iran's warmaking capability has been decisively smashed into little pieces and moreover, we've destroyed the only deterrent Iran had in both reality and credibility, so repeat visits will be far cheaper. And above all, Israel isn't going anywhere and as events of the past few years have shown their intel/SOF penetration of Iran is unbelievably thorough. The primary purpose of allying with Israel for America was always as a proxy to contain Iran; with the long-delayed hammer blow finally delivered, now Israel's a bulldog that will slowly choke what little life is left out of the theocracy. Iran may survive, but I doubt the IRGC will. I am begging you all, with tears in my eyes, to pull your heads out of the mystic wordcel dimension and smell the stench of burnt smoke and solid rocket fuel, because the fires are still burning.

Taxing unrealized gains doesn’t work. If I were taxed on what my company is worth instead of my actual income, I’d have to sell my company to afford the taxes.

Finally took some time to work on the backlog for my dom-to-image-more library. In two days, 73 commits, 163 files, 67 issues fixed/closed, and a LOT of tech-debt paid off. Now with complete current documentation, better testing, CI improvements, etc. github.com/1904labs/dom-to-i…

THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE WHO BLESSED MSG TODAY TO GET THE STANK VIBES OUT YOUR SERVICE IS APPRECIATED

one of the NHL’s biggest problems is their refusal to break the implicit Boy’s Club rules and actually hire younger, more energetic coaches and administrators for some of these aging franchises. You need YOUTH! Instead it’s a revolving door of the same 20 old farts

I got 8 points,you?

Standard experience booking an Uber “5 minutes away” I order it “Finding your driver…” “Pickup in 7 minutes” I open my timer 9 minutes and 21 seconds later, it arrives This is so tedious and I am tired of being deceived at the margin
