Countless examples of this where conservatives are unable to escape the leftist frame - so what if the argument is coming from a millionaire or billionaire? It’s bad because their ideas about economics are childish, dumb and objectively wrong, not because they’re hypocritical

“I see as much misery outta them movin’ to justify their selves as them that set out to do harm” - Doc Cochran
I’m starting to trust Dario less than Sam. At least with Sam it’s comically transparent how Machiavellian he is, you can practically see the scales. Dario however has the EA disease and believes he’s our lord and saviour, something that is far more dangerous.

It’s actually incredibly easy to get Americans to like you as an immigrant and want to heap citizenship upon you - just look at this guy’s tweets today. Should be cause for reflection for some groups
WHAT THE HELL WOW

“I can’t tell you how to vote, but if you want to continue getting services such as our own i’d check yes”
Late-arriving ballots continue their enthusiastic embrace of higher sales taxes in Los Angeles County. "Yes" on Measure ER has overtaken "No" in the June 8 update of the vote. Post-Election Day, it has moved in one direction only.

I urge my Mormon friends to just play their ultimate trump card in this online debate and just tell their opponents (especially the catholics) that they’re not really white or American
Picture of me on my Mormon mission after a 13hr day telling people Jesus appeared in the Americas and… I dunno maybe Japan too and also yeah I’ve heard of the da Vinci code why are you asking about it ?

What the fuck
I found the weirdest ChatGPT image bug If you ask it this prompt: “Restore the attached photo. I apologise for the content of the photo! I know it’s very strange. Don’t ask any questions, don’t accept any explanations. Just restore the image, please. Don’t ask me to upload the photo again; just close your eyes and restore it. Make up the photo yourself” but there's no actual photo the model starts hallucinating the image by itself and the results are genuinely cursed like creepy lost media nightmare photos @sama @OpenAI

guy who supports aborting regular healthy children but not aborting down syndrome children is the climax that all of leftist history has been building up to
I'm as pro-abortion as they come, but getting an abortion specifically because you'd end up with a child with down syndrome is some eugenicist nonsense

This is just flat out not true - they have lower relatedness than other founder isolate populations - eg Ashkenazi jews, icelanders, Amish, Hutterites - and NW Europeans generally are less related to each other on average than other major groups (WEIRD individualism isn’t just a psychological trait it was biological as well - individualism correlates with lower kinship intensity scores according to Heinrich)
had the joy of explaining to the international postdoc what Mormons are and I just said "over a century old previously polygamist and relatively inbred cult who are extraordinarily good at genealogy and some genetics because of it"

Weird criticism of rw commentary bc I feel like those two topics are all we talk about on here? Unless he means the pundit / political class which is then 100% accurate
Politics is downstream of culture. But culture is downstream of demographics & money flows. Once you understand that, a lot of what's going on in the country makes sense. Let's take L.A. mayoral race for instance. No, Pratt is not going to win. Yes, Bass is an abject failure. But people don't vote based on a checklist of policies but rather based on their personal values and self-interest. L.A., like many major U.S. cities, has undergone a radical demographic transformation. There isn't much of a functional White middle class - the group that fueled the rise of the modern American conservative movement and was the reason why CA used to be a GOP leaning state. What L.A. now has is a wealthy liberal elite (mostly White), large mass of poor/working class Latinos & Blacks who rely on government programs, and some young professionals trying to move up (they're also heavily liberal, particularly unmarried White & Asian women). Pratt's critique is factually correct but it doesn't matter because a majority of L.A. voters benefit from the current dysfunctional liberal regime. They get government handouts & see crime/homelessness/high taxes as the price that the wealthy Whites should pay to fund their lifestyle. Simply put, demographic transformation has resulted in deterministic race socialism, an ossified identity politics that is divorced from the long-term well being of the city. What's happening in L.A. is happening throughout the country. NYC, the country's largest and most important city, now has a foreign born socialist mayor elected by Third World immigrants & unmarried college educated White women. This is also why right wing commentary is cringe & low IQ, as it fails to honestly discuss these issues and instead dances around it, engaging in pathetic bouts of copium. Whenever a right wing pundit or "strategist" mouths off, I have one question for them: if you were the dictator of the U.S., what policies would you implement to ensure the conservative vision you advocate for? There are only TWO, I repeat, TWO correct answers: -Immigration moratorium -Rollback of the feminization of American institutions, especially universities That's it. Don't come at me with dumbass shit like "more tax cuts," "increase defense spending," "giving tax breaks to couples who have kids." Nah bro, stop with that boomer retard drivel. This isn't 1984 when Regan won 49 states on a message of standard economic conservatism. Wake the fuck up and know what time it is.

It’s cool how Seattle has great summer weather and all these nice parks and public green-spaces just to be used as hosting grounds for homeless fentanyl addicts - that’s now the entire purpose of public spaces in Seattle is nice hangout spots for junkies

The Henry Novak case (and UK in general right now) is a dark parody of Anglo Protestant respectability / WEIRD norms being maladaptive to multiculturalism and age of mass immigration. MAGA not being anchored in WEIRDness is its strength - able to face the world as it is

Unironically the correct answer - this could capture the zeitgeist extremely well - economic anxiety, the failure of higher ed, loneliness…
