just some wine aunt types that mildly swoon after him. The same type that were hot for cuomo.

White women need to start policing their own and doing some mean girl shit.

Let me add the caveat that the two places I’ve lived were New England and California, so that’s who my frame of reference is

They also jerk off to the subjects of their true crime podcasts they love so much, and generally treat normal dudes the way they ought to be treating the serial killers

Ah yes, the Cuomosexuals.

Have the Newsom ones given themselves a dumb nickname yet?

https://youtube.com/watch?v=2Ey5TwGj7CcTrump is talking about dismantling the CAFE standards

Maybe we can start making small useful trucks again over the giant but tiny bed monstrosities we have now. I'd like to own a truck that isn't 20 years old

Where is this noble schizo concept you’re championing coming from? They’re actually horrible to be around

Present company excluded, of course

They mostly call themselves groypers.

it seems that current military technology is again at a point where defense is much stronger than offense

in ww1 it was a similar situation. at that point in time, offense consisted of large scale infantry assaults, but defense consisted of entrenched machine guns which completely devastated infantry. offense had no good answer to machine gun nests (tanks were not well developed yet and were not available in sufficient numbers) so all they could really do was digging in and lobbing artillery shells at each others positions.

nowadays offense consists of pushing forward with armored vehicles, preferably towards positions that are neglected and only lightly defended, but drones make spotting these attempts very easy, and once spotted they are easy targets for drones and aircraft which can react and intercept vehicles much faster than the vehicles themselves can move.

The Ukraine war is somewhat unique, because it's being fought in a region saturated with air defenses, preventing anyone from establishing air dominance/superiority.

Does anyone remember how much furor there was over the East Wing of the White House a few weeks ago, including threats of impeachment? Has anyone who isn't directly involved with the construction so much as thought about it recently?

Take the concept of the movie total recall.

Would you pay money to have the memory of a vacation implanted in your brain?

Now translate that concept. Would you pay money to experience the self repairing, unbanishable belief that you’re actually god, and that your will is the reason that everything on the news happens?

Oh, and the alternative is that you’re nobody, you’re broken and nobody listens to you, and you just exist to be a burden to everyone you ever loved.

That’s why I said they secretly love it. The beliefs continue regardless of meds

It would unironically be more fun to be schizo. The burden falls on your family

One issue is the truck are so large the bed wall are at my armpit making loading and unloading a read fucking pain

Con Inc did a piss poor job of explaining this, and I don't know why they did. They aren't stupid, so i have to feel like some reason for this exists other than them being retarded as fuck.

Because it was a rhetorical attack against the left, no nuance allowed. They couldn't say that we need people in trades and in academia as that would be validating the cultural marxist indoctrination facilities that college was portrayed as.

that's only part of the reason
the big issue was (and still is tbh) that the lefts stranglehold on academia is so strong, they use their power to gatekeep it hard.
trying to get in (and stay in) as a chud is fighting an uphill battle, you're swimming upstream the entire time, the game is rigged, the odds are stacked against you, and any misstep you make means the enemy can pounce and end your career.

In short? The people that had the reins on the Right were never there to make a real effort to win. Or as I've said many times over the years, the Washington Generals are never supposed to beat the Harlem Globetrotters.

I though the right would be the ones to turn the cold war hot but looks like the left are going to be retarded.

Crying's worked a lot for them in the past so they think it'll work now.

Is it really that hard for people not to realize how hated he is even here in California? I’ve genuinely never encountered someone who supports him in real life

Newsom makes the pussies of AWFLs wet and it's a large part of why he's a serious contender in 2028. I call it the Trudeau Effect.

Think how many times you've heard a popular righty intellectual dismiss or condemn Dostoevsky and Nietzsche—probably the greatest right-wing thinkers of all time, and definitely the best at leading young men to become right-wing intellectuals—as pathetic losers who couldn't get laid, unlike the alpha podcast chad who's shit-talking them.

The one I hear all the time that drives me up a wall is right-wing people dismissing Nietzsche as a nihilist, something he was completely opposed to and saw as a growing problem in the late 1800s.

Dostoevsky couldn't get laid?

 

[SpergioLeonne]

Dostoevsky couldn't get laid?

Hard to say if he could in a vacuum. If you had money while there were serfs around, you could probably get whatever you wanted

“So nothing matters and I should kill myself?”

People really think this way lmao

Salem, Oregon city council passes a resolution declaring a “state of emergency” over ICE raids and operations

City Councilor Linda Nishioka cried actual tears over criminal illegals being deported

I'd cry all the time if I had to live in Salem

Well he like, removed the possibility of a higher purpose than doing whatever the fuck you want by declaring god dead

I've met people in OR and WA who think he's the great white hope

it's fucking eerie, you know how nonamericans are obsessed with american politics but then on the other hand we have bases and nuclear warheads and stuff in their countries so it kind of makes sense?

the relationship between the PNW and CA is the exact opposite, Californian politics affect shit in OR and WA directly but people up here cannot be bothered to deign to be aware that CA even exists. They didn't fucking know who Newsom even was before he started sniffing around the presidency.

Um akshually the higher purpose in question is to impose your will onto the environment by being a Judeo-Aryan overman or something. I don’t know. I haven’t read his stuff in a couple years.

 

[COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST]

@COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST the thing with Chinese cars is that the vast majority of them have never passed the standard to be sold in other markets.

Even if we cut back on some regulation, the Chinese shit would still need to pass all sorts of safety shit that they can’t, and they’d need to honor recalls, which they won’t

I don't believe the pipeline would ever be so direct since "Chinese car" doesn't market to ordinary Americans well. It would likely be some partnership with a US front company, which is functionally how a lot of car brands already exist. The only real difference is you would be buying a XIAOWANKSTY ute rebranded as Chevrolet or whomever.

I’m sure it’s more complicated than the vague sense of it that I carried away, but at the end of the day my dismissal of Big N is a form of shooting the messenger. I found the last hipster kid I heard talking about him IRL to be annoying

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Did we already talk about Trump getting a peace deal between Rwanda and the Congo? That's actually a giant fucking deal. God knows if it will last but, if it does, that's a huge stabilizing event for Central Africa.
