Choose agency over passivity, the role of master over slave. The Stuart motto (virescit vulnere virtus, courage grows strong at a wound) has never been more relevant now that the neo-dalits (the sub-DEI castes) fully realise what is at stake.
Government by humiliation ritual has generated the psychoaffective forces necessary to transform slaves into masters. The US Right now get to act out roles scripted by Hegel but adapted by generations of Marxists. The Choom Gang must be pissed.
Because the type of government, institutions and mindset you need to "dominate" is not one which also preserves freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There is nothing wrong with being #1 in AI or space or whatever. There is a difference though if we start color revolutions because a country doesnt use the USD, for example.
The overlap of the Worst of Times that the op has described for the last 2 decades overlap quite nicely with the worst excesses of American imperialism. My point is that they are linked.
Okay thanks. Got it. I agree, we shouldn’t be world police, but I’m not an isolationist and we should have a sphere of influence, like Latin America and the Pacific.
No, for sure. What happens in Mexico or canada or frankly anything in the western hemisphere is fairly relevant
The mechanics of empire are also incongruent with an American revival. One of the reasons the debt burden is so massive is because it has to be, printing dollars out of thin air and then sending them to countries in exchange for goods and services, is essentially a giant pyramid scheme. Consider how much of current economic growth and acrivity is directly connected to monopoly money? It does ensure the empire but it hollows out the homeland. And eventually something has to give.
You're exactly right that the ever increasing authoritarianism since WWII has come from the shift from Republic to Empire. I think Trump wants to move back to Republic.
As a foreigner, it is good to see some optimism and fighting spirit return to American discourse, instead of the misanthropical musings of the pomos, liberals and woke-scolds et c that's been increasingly dominating since '05 or so.
You could say, those of us old enough to remember the USA from the Clinton years and earlier miss you, the way you miss an old friend that's been on a down-ward slide of his own making.
"The only thing Leftists will accept from their enemies is surrender: absolute and unquestioned obeisance."
Quibble: they won't accept surrender either. Surrender means they must respect the collective you as someone they may no longer pick on, assault, harass and violate. That is also why obeisance is no escape: to them, you'll never be obedient *enough*. They need an enemy to exist in the first place, and if you are the designated enemy, that's that no matter what you do.
A useful parallel/comparison is islam: when moslems have Westerners to fight, they stick together even over racial lines or schools of islamic jurisprudence. Remove the external enemy, and they will immediately fraction along racial, historical, class and religious lines. Which ties into how to achieve peace in MENA: leave them to their own devices, don't get involved, remove all troops and bases, and stick to trading with them. Else they'll drag you into their internecine conflicts.
It is also entertaining to see how DT scares the brown sauce out of the EU-rocrats. I don't know if any American media - left or right or just plain yellow - report on such things. Ours are certainly busy putting lipstick on the pig so to speak, to such a degree even people highly critical of Trump or EU-loyalists obect to the blatant Soviet-levels of frontpage agit-prop.
What would be really useful to us would be if DT or Vance could rattle of a UN-style adress every quarter or so, listing the utter bloody failure of certain EU-ropean nations and the EU as whole - it cause the useful idiots here to act the way the US Democrat party's been doing: defending their lunacy and fiascoes in public.
In other words: the EU is such a mess, not even 4th stage TDS can protect against realisation of truth.
Great read. The administration must get in front of rising unemployment that is already happening and will continue to happen due to ai and robotics. It can and will destroy any chance of winning in 28 if nothing is done. I will die on this hill and no one on the right is willing to talk about it.
Totally agree. Elon is right, after leaving government he said the only way to fix government debt is to outpace it with private growth and although true that would lead us right into techno feudalism.
You keep telling yourself this is winning, that some rebirth has arrived, but look around you: Nothing has changed except the slogans. The factories aren’t humming, the mines aren’t opening, the rust is still spreading across bridges that no One will rebuild. The tanks you boast about are older than you are, & the boys sent to fight in them are dying in wars you were promised would end. Trump mutters that Ukraine can win back everything, even while admitting behind closed doors that they cannot, & yet the weapons keep flowing, & the funerals & ‘military accidents’ keep coming, & you keep insisting that this is part of the plan.
It’s not strength, nor is it revival; it’s the same exhaustion painted over with a new shade of cheap rhetoric. Every broken promise is twisted into evidence of progress, every apparent failure rebranded as a clever move, every delay called strategy because the alternative (i.e., admitting collapse)... is too unbearable for you to face. Tariffs slapped on like magic talismans, deportations promised like an eternal drumbeat but never arriving, “investment surges” that exist only in press releases & muttered from the tongues of rich Oil Sheikhs... None of it touches the reality of your life, but you repeat it anyway, because to stop repeating it would mean Silence, & Silence would mean staring directly at the abyss.
You call this winning, but it is only inertia dressed up as destiny. A Civilization that can no longer distinguish between motion & progress convinces itself that optics are enough, that bravado will keep the walls from crumbling. You chant that the golden age has returned, but the chant sounds more like a dirge, the voice of a people who know they are sinking but refuse to say it aloud. You insist you are feasting, when in truth you are choking, clutching at reeds in the black water & calling the taste of mud a banquet.
Meaningless banter & meanderings a la “Cope & seethe” is all you have left, the nursery rhyme of a movement that mistakes collapse for conquest & mud for a feast. 😘 😉
This is an awful heavy effort post scolding a vague person on the right that doesn’t think we are “winning”. What exactly do you expect of them? To love and vote for JD Vance? To fan trumps balls and cheer? To march in the streets and beat up leftists? What exactly is the functional difference between you who is confident we are winning, and someone who is blackpilled?
Don’t have a victim mindset.
Have a perpetrator mindset.

You realize these are Jesuit trained minds who don’t even know they’re being Jesuits? A Curia of Casuistry crazed with unnameable dread.
Nobody whines about how much he has been wronged more than Trump.
rightly so.
Then he ruins them
Or a builder
The giant blind spot here is that US domestic policy is subordinate to US foreign policy
America has everything to be a paradise on earth. Or it can be a global hegemon, unrivalled hyperpower, arbiter of all things.
It cannot be both, and this is where Trump is falling under the sway of the deep state neocons, and this is the greatest risk to his whole presidency
I just want to ask, I’m not a Hawk or a Dove, but why can’t we have American dominance and prosperity at home?

I agree. “A Republic. Not an Empire.”

I don't think it's actually AI
I think the economy is fucked and has been for a long time
I think AI is the last bet they've made and the only thing attracting capital
Once that busts, it's over.
The lack of hiring is because indians are hiring only their co-ethnics
And management let them do it because it was cheaper at the time
Rust-beltifying white collar Americans.
What to do?
Mass deportations
Legally require American companies to hire Americans if they want the benefits of being based here.
Besides that, wait for or evade the executioner's axe

Sinistrianii delenda est.
the fastest way to beat them is to be all they are not and cannot be; be successful, fruitful, disciplined, happy, unafraid.
If we all push harder to achieve just one personal goal, the aggregate of our achievements will buty The Enemy.
God is on our side.
Double down! Now is time to become who you were born to be. That new person, simply by existing, will be a terrible defeat to the orcs.

Or you be a happy herd animal and get along with the rest of the herd and work together to fend off the predators
Don't think like a prey animal, prey animals are losers.
Think like a predator, and remember you will die if you don't get the kill.
Who exactly are you scolding in this article?
?
This is an awful heavy effort post scolding a vague person on the right that doesn’t think we are “winning”. What exactly do you expect of them? To love and vote for JD Vance?

it's cool man I think about 4,000 people have read this and understood what I'm saying. Not everyone is going to get it
That’s not a real response you coward. What exactly is the difference between a RW Blackpiller and a RW Winner at this time?
lmfao
