Great collection of interesting perspectives! If the US if Gay does bring back the draft, they will no doubt get many red state young white heterosexual men to join the military, but it won't go down the way they want. I'm guessing a draft would be the catalyst for secession and, if the US of Gay tries to stop the states from leaving, it will lead to the civil war that everyone's known is inevitable. Russia will probably be an attractive option for a lot of people. As an American, it's really sad how quickly and completely things have changed.

Thanks John. Perhaps one day we’ll all take that rainbow bridge to Valinor together

🗨 The old notion of IQ is being replaced with WQ – a woke quotient.

The whole thing (spectator.co.uk/article/the-new-elite-the-rise-of-the-progressive-aristocracy) reads much as if an alien ethnographer were matter-of-factly reporting to mothership about the sorry state of Earthen affairs. In utter agreement with incredible Lorenzo’s brain, but kinda contrasting in style.

Admittedly, I’m not especially good at following the rules ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

💬 It’s a strange thing to think about but it’s not possible.

Strange it sure is... but impossible? No way 😉

John, thanks for including my post in your roundup. I am tardy in experessing my gratitude. It has helped circulate the article to as many eyes as possible. I wanted to get as many young white males as possible to see it to discourage them signing up and also to give them a way to avoid being killed for the corrupt elites that own and run the GAE.

Thanks again!

A well done blend. I liked the first image because it reminded me of "mag-lev" trains and how the magician has obviously figured it out.

Thanks for the shoutout! I've found quite a few new favorite stacks to follow through your series.

Another two suggestions, if you haven't read their work already, which are favorites of mine from the purely written-word/prose standpoint which you should check out are: https://samkriss.substack.com/

and

=== the maximally privileged oppressor eternally condemned to lose the Oppression Olympics

As PopeHat put it about a decade ago - in those innocent days when "social credit scoring" was a brutal tool of the brutal authoritarians of the brutally authoritarian Chinese Government: the sole criterion is one's relative position on a gigantic oppression spreadsheet.

It's all about which cell you're in.

That's roughly the time that I started to identify as a Guided Missile Frigate - at the risk of being called Class-ist, spcifically as an Oliver Hazard-Perry Class Guided Missile Frigate.

And I'm not even white - I'm a Heinz-57 'bitsa' of assorted mostly-CeltIberian DNA... but the largest slice of the racial pie-chart is Maori (at 25%).

None of this does me any good, because of keyboard racism - I use a split ortholinear keyboard (a keeb.io Iris rev2.5 with a Bluetooth retrofit), and the Engram layout. Shift-, is ; **as Jesus insisted** .

So I'm not on the spreadsheet; I'm not even in the same directory, or the same drive; or the same partition; or the same machine; or the same network.

I run Artix btw.

Also: KEK.

========================

I HATE the fact that Substack didn't pay any of their uDemy-grad coders the requisite $7.50 for the extra hour required to enable fucking _ITALICS_ in comments. (It wouldn't take an hour for a decent coder, but the global enerprise backend is not done - or maintained - by decent coders).

The fact that this is obviously a low-rent attempt to prevent SQL-injection makes me sorely tempted to show them what a shit approach that is.

I think it helps to view the events in Ukraine as the first battle of WW3. Regardless of how that battle ends, the war will continue. The US/NATO will try something else, somewhere else. After all, they do have Russia surrounded, and even pro-Russian former Soviet states have leaders who can be bought or brought down by a coup. I'm afraid it will continue until the US government gets slapped down hard, and that may well mean a nuclear strike against the US. It may be the only way to stop the insane clique inside the US State Department. Certainly the US military won't intervene to stop them. It's going to get very, very ugly.
