Living your life with the assumption you'll lose is a cage you force yourself into. Get out of it.

My friend @scottth86 decided to make a video game (without telling me...) where you play me running a farm. Government drones and journalists are apparently some of the obstacles to overcome. He's donating the profits to the RTTL foundation.

I don't believe that we're going to have a brain drain issue in the future with math due to people "not wanting to check LLMs all day". There will be plenty of smart-enough people willing to do that job. They'll just be a different kind of very smart person, probably similar to the kinds of people we have working on hardware as opposed to software.

Amazing. They became self-aware before AI did.

The Catholic Church found itself the target of the largest smear campaign in history. That’s part of the story. The other part is simply that many people wanted it to be true.

The Catholic Church in Canada is utterly defanged, but because their hospitals don't do abortions or MAID, they must be destroyed. I wonder if the Pope will talk about this, especially since they did what he damn well wanted and let in a horde of immigrants.

Dinesh D'Souza has been part of the allegedly race-blind American conservative movement for 40 years. Despite that, he still has a revealed preference for Indians over whites. If even he hasn't abandon his ethnocentrism, what hope does a values-based integrationist project have?

RT @PubWanghaf: Dinesh D’Souza is a fully assimilated, conservative, Christian immigrant. He’s the poster child for civic nationalism assim…

Anonymity, understandably, leads people to behave in more radical ways than they otherwise would. On the one hand that's often the conscious intent of it, but it also subliminally influences people unintentionally, which is why masquerade balls had a certain reputation and why road rage leads to violent outbursts that people would never indulge in the case of foot traffic. It's also part of why X replies are so often snide, condescending or blatantly insulting. In the case of online political discourse the predictable result is that people tend to adopt more extreme positions than they would under their real names, even if censorship and doxxing weren't issues. Those extremist tendencies are, of course, exacerbated by the nature of social media algorithms, which reinforce priors and stifle inter-ideological exchange because everyone is being fed, almost exclusively, content from their own ideological camp. All this creates irrational behaviors (as in road rage, masqueraded bacchanalian excess, or internet ad hominem) primarily because it removes a degree of feedback and renders a person immune to incremental consequences for his actions, i.e., it takes away error correction. As long as the vast majority of our politics is conducted anonymously we'll be exempting ourselves from the error correction that naturally comes with having your reputation at stake when you make a statement - errors will therefore proliferate and we'll lose touch with what's truly politically possible. It also invites leading a double life, where your political views are quarantined and expressed only behind a mask, while your everyday life bears no signature of your identitarian commitments. That kind of double life is not healthy and is psychologically unsustainable in the long run. I don't suggest going public with all of your most extreme positions under your real name; that would be irresponsible. I do suggest engaging politically under your real name in much more moderate ways. Keep your anon account and keep pushing the overton window. But also, start a totally separate account using your real name and engage in the discourse in a way that is as honest as you can manage without jeopardizing your livelihood or personal connections. That would give you the error correction that we've been depriving ourselves of and it would force you to take a more realistic view of politics. TLDR: -Anon accounts lead to unrealistic LARPing and prevent us from correcting our errors, but are still useful in pushing the boundaries. -Self doxxed accounts greatly limit what we're able to say, but force us to be more realistic politically. -So you should do both; have an extremist anon account and a moderate doxxed account and push both as far to the right as prudence allows.

"Why do Christians focus on homosexual sins so much?" Because homosexuals recruit, they seem really intent on recruiting kids in particular, and the whole culture of homosexuals is harmful and disease ridden. Active homosexuals are a burden to society.

Yeah I'm sure they raised a stink about this with J6ers. I don't care anymore, this is just a theatrics excuse.

Worm Theology enthusiasts who exclusively propound worm theology to Christians, but get tongue tied at the prospect of laying it on muslims, Jews or atheists, deserve mockery and scorn.

If you’re tapping out of politics right now, you need to change course. This is the time to flood the zone. We’ll get our battle with the GOP establishment within a few years. But first you have to organize and get into position.

🚨 THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT TRUMP’S NEW H-1B ORDER IS TARGETING. An H-1B worker says their employer completed the PERM labor-market test on September 7. Eight days later, the company had layoffs. Now immigration says the PERM filing cannot proceed because of the layoff-related requirements. Trump’s September 18 order directs agencies to consider whether H-1B sponsors laid off similarly situated American workers within the previous year. Lay off Americans while sponsoring foreign workers? Now the layoffs matter. Trump’s order is only weeks old. This is exactly the kind of situation it was designed to address. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @StephenM @SusieWiles47

He's saying the right things. I hope he means it. But if the H1-B program is shuttered meaningfully -- if India is cut off from US jobs and citizenship -- it means his wife's homeland probably descends into chaos, among other things. Lots of family stress there.

I appreciate the party giving me my position back. I will be releasing a full statement later. So many people have assisted me throughout within the party. I wish I could thank all personally. I'm overwhelmed by the support of the past few days. Let's get Max Engling elected!

"Banning H1-Bs is just DEI for White guys!" This is a hand-tip complaint. An H1-B ban makes those jobs available to Americans of any race. But somehow the idea that anyone but White people compete with H1-Bs is beyond their consideration.

They represent their real country.

By the way, it should go without saying. Never donate to the GOP. Not as an individual. If you do political donations, always do it as part of a group with a voice that will explain to the candidate why a given donation is coming their way. When you donate on a personal level, you're just some yokel. When you donate as a group, you establish a relationship with a candidate where they know what the expectations are of them, and what they need to speak to both in and out of office.

We’re not sitting out. We’ve done entire episodes on this. I’ve posted about it dozens of times. I’m voting for Bo. Voting for Paxton. And voting for a dozen others. My only distinction in strategy is that I believe there are a few isolated races where the GOP candidate has better “policy” but sets a far worse “precedent”. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze. And therefore, Christians should consider withholding their vote (but never vote for the Dem). Vivek is one of the only cases of this strategy I’ve ever spoken of publicly. And for that, you’ve written me off. Outside of this strategy, I’ve merely defended Fishback when our guys publicly mock him because 1) he’s my personal friend, 2) his policies were objectively good, and 3) because there are several candidates you want to win (and so do I) who have a ton of supporters who still love Fishback. By publicly mocking Fishback, you are sidelining voters who love him that would otherwise be natural allies to turn out and vote for your candidate. I thought we win by winning. So yes, you think I sold out. However, I think you need to remember the words of @PerfInjust and… try to think clearly. And lastly, I still appreciate you, love you, and am praying for your personal good. God bless, brother.
