Ok a little bit political

I’m glad I don’t have a brainless racist narcist demented idiot for president. Oh and, when he got elected I already predicted this would lead to a new civil war.

Aren’t you in Europe?

Come now, you Europeans love America! That’s why you’re trying to turn Europe into America after all, with internal open borders, a federal government, a unified currency, and the emergence of a monoculture founded on those three traits, which has only minor regional differences in culture.

Soon you’ll have your own New New York, with your very own Orange Man. It’ll be great.

@urb-nist

@mitigatedchaos What do you know about Europeans? We have some sort of hate-love for you guys.

Look, mate.

Trump complaints from Euros just convince Trump’s base that Trump is on the right path, especially in the form of “brainless narcissist” etc.

It often goes hand-in-hand with an idea of Europeans as the more Cultured and Refined civilization - but the kinds of people that expressed those ideas in America are also the ones put their cultural and economic interests ahead of the Rust Belt voters that gave Trump the Presidency, and frequently insulted them (and celebrated their demographic replacement).

Trump’s base has a negative amount of trust for them.

So that makes the post a good opportunity to dunk on the European Union as a project by pointing out the irony involved.

The reason the US dollar functions well despite spanning a continent, while the Euro has contributed to the collapse in Greece, is a combination of US Federal government spending and higher labor mobility, which evens out the spread of dollars. The spending and issuing of currency are unified at the same level of government, allowing them to work together. (This can also kinda work with some separation if the economies are similar enough.)

That is not the case in the EU, where the currency issuing and government spending are separated, and the government performance levels are quite dissimilar.

To unify them, it would be necessary to shift even more power to the EU government (which is apparently happening). To make a true European Federation, not a mere European Union. That would make Europe much more similar to America in structure.

Secondly, it requires the increased labor mobility. Cultural uniqueness grows in environments with friction that allow drift from other cultures and cuts the rate of memetic transmission, and the increased overhead of communication, up to a certain level, makes business harder rather than easier. (Think language barriers as an example.)

So all those people moving around to where the money is will start to converge on a more unified culture as a means of doing business more easily (like having only one or two languages that they all share!), just like in the United States of America. Cultural traditions will spread more quickly and widely, meaning there will be fewer of them. Cultural preferences, too, will be more evenly distributed throughout the Continent.

Plus this whole thing about “increasing diversity” by importing large numbers of foreigners like America will also erode the local traditions as they do not share them. Instead, they’ll buy into the new broader Euroculture.

So Europeans are complaining about the American President while taking the steps required to make Europe much more like America - eventually France and Germany will be no more different from each other than New York state and Illinois.

Anyhow, only going halfway at it is actually even worse, as it causes things like the situation in Greece. Either be a true Federation or be independent nations.

And yes, I know not all European countries are in the EU, or have the same level of integration into the EU. After all, Britain kept the Pound (a decision I agree with).

What neither side of US politics wants to admit: the promotion of identity politics combined with the declining white super majority has led to turbo charged white identity politics. Since Dems catered for non-white identity politics, Trump and the GOP took hold of white identity politics.

Most countries that do not have a 70%+ super majority ethnic group have ethnicized electoral politics.

Yes, my fear is that Lee Kuan Yew is right.

Do you accept of deny that the extermination of non-whites will greatly reduce crime and improve white countries way of life?

libfas answered:

Exterminating millions of people might spike the crime rate a little. You know, murder being kind of a crime and all …

Look, Connard, honey, darling, pal,

There are things between “arrest man and send him to prison for putting bacon on a mosque door, where he dies, while ignoring child-grooming gangs” and “exterminate everyone that isn’t white.”

Things like “make a sex-trafficking RICO act” or even “actually enforce the law against sex offenders and don’t overlook their actions and give them only short sentences because of their ethnicity.”

I think, perhaps, this says a bit more about the failure of your imagination - including your imagination of libfas’s motivations - than libfas.

connard-cynique asked:

You're acting like I have ulterior motives but I don't, I'm not implying anything about libfas, I just thought he was informed enough to understand. I'm just starting a conversation about a subject everyone is already talking about, you're just blinded by your safe space to see the islamic invasion, the degenacy of our culture and the genocide of our race that you are also blind to the only efficient defense.

I understand this ask is satirical, with the goal of mimicking hard-right ideology. Quite frankly, I’m not sure what the point even is, since for Libfas, it was probably an attempt to bait him into saying something that would “reveal” his “inner Nazi” or something along those lines.

But not everyone with concerns about immigration truly has a secret inner Nazi with an opinion like your satirical one. Leftists are just not that great at understanding right-wing motivations, statistically, from what I’ve read.

But let’s assume we take it seriously for one moment. Just, you know, hypothetically.

Is there any way in which extermination is preferable to separatism?

Because not only does extermination require political will, it requires somewhere between one to three orders of magnitude more political will than separatism, control over the state apparatus, and conditions that, in the West, would only exist in a time of lawless violence and disorder on levels of Weimar Germany (which we aren’t at - note the insufficient challenge to the state’s military power).

And then, once extermination is attempted, because for such a nation to exist (at our technology level) for whites, it must exist in areas that are currently majority white, the full force of the political will of the liberal countries will crash against it, likely resulting in a much larger and better-armed invasion.

Separatism, however, won’t necessarily generate an invasion, and may have trouble rousing even a sufficiently crushing response in economic sanctions.

It would muster almost no response in sanctions if your ethnic separatist population was any color other than white. However, supposing you really did believe this, that becomes a method to corrode your opposition’s political will - just repeatedly pointing out their hypocrisy on this matter.

So even if one were an extremely racist hardcore reactionary, it just doesn’t make much sense to choose extermination instead.

That doesn’t exclude people from holding such ideas, or even acting on them - after all, destroying the Twin Towers was never going to make America quit meddling in the Middle East.

The EU either needs to decide to be a Federation for real or knock it the fk off at pretending to be one, tbh.

I actually suspect that the switch to identity politics over class politics may have been based on a growing ineffectiveness of class politics.

“BUT THE POOR!” lost ground as more cached arguments were built up against it, even if it wasn’t entirely justified.

“BUT RACISM!” still had a lot of bite and could circumvent some of those cached arguments. So, it’s natural to shift to it and build the platform around it.

It had a lot of bite, anyway.

There was always the focus on what was morally right, even in the minds of people who claimed they didn’t believe in morality, over what was effective policy, so now we get a lot of talk about guilt, or about pie in the sky ideas of “dismantling the systems of X oppression requires dismantling capitalism” (and people remember how “we need to dismantle capitalism” went last time), and not so much about “we should distribute multivitamins to the poor.”

I mean, that does sometimes get through, but the zeitgeist doesn’t seem to care about it as much as it cares about language policing and thinks that beneficial policies will just naturally unfold once everyone acknowledges their sin.

I just saw an article last week suggesting that using identity politics in the US was a bad plan because the majority can practice identity politics, too, and the definition of “white” has expanded in the past.

I’m pretty hyped. What exciting new races or ethnic groups will be considered “white” in the future? Could Asian-Latin fusion cuisine become the next official white people food? When will they be issued their official White Man™ polo shirts?

Jon Stewart, John Oliver…mostly enact the pure arrogance of the liberal intellectual elite: “Parodying Trump is at best a distraction from his real politics; at worst it converts the whole of politics into a gag. The process has nothing to do with the performers or the writers or their choices. Trump built his candidacy on performing as a comic heel—that has been his pop culture persona for decades. It is simply not possible to parody effectively a man who is a conscious self-parody, and who has become president of the United States on the basis of that performance.”

Hell, why don’t we re-enact Sherman’s march and raze the US south, the southern US is full of shitty people with shitty politics. Maybe burn down all Mormon churches and compounds, they got both nasty shit going on and nasty politics.
I get you wanna piss your fuckin pants because it’s those dirty furriners doing those dirty furriner crimes, but horrible shit didn’t start with immigration and it won’t end when it’s cut off.

Things being bad is not a reason to make them worse. (This part of the problem with arguments about alcohol/drugs, too.)

We have no obligation to import these people. We do not have an obligation to import people that will make the country worse. We don’t have an obligation to tolerate criminal acts favored by their cultures, or tear our national social cohesion to shreds to tolerate those acts.

So some fringe groups of Mormons are still polygamists and practice shady things with young brides and that sort of thing. Oh look, Westerners doing a bad thing. Better import enough people that have similar practices so that it becomes normalized and gains political power! That’ll sure improve things! Yay justice!

but horrible shit didn’t start with immigration and it won’t end when it’s cut off.

How much FGM was happening in the US before it was imported? It won’t stop now if immigration is shut off only because we won’t literally kick all those who practice it out of the country.

Kicking out only individuals who are actually convicted of it is the individualist approach. And it makes sense. The preconditions for citizenship included not bringing foreign criminal/terrorist activity to this country. Those preconditions were violated.

In light of that, how does removing citizenship not make sense?

And I don’t really think the problem we have is “We don’t execute criminals grotesquely enough.“ I think there’s a reason why we don’t do that sort of thing anymore. If you wanted to heighten investigation, that could make sense, but public executions don’t really help anyone.

It apparently cost $500,000 to prosecute three guys, and the number of crimes committed is far worse.

However, “diversity” ideology covered up that the crimes were even happening in the first place. Admitting that some cultures practice this bullsht more than others was “racist”. I mean it’s just economics, right? Cultural differences beyond food aren’t real, right?

What is your plan to force assimilation on this issue?

Maybe we don’t have to publicly execute them. Maybe we can just ordinarily execute them and make sure it gets in the news where their buddies we read it.

Maybe I don’t even want to go that far. Maybe I just want to throw the Overton Window far enough to the right that Cultural Antirealism will die and Left/Libs will at least start admitting that there is a problem and we can get a gentler solution that actually works.
