Are niggers and spics and slants and browns into homosexuality and abortion, if left to their own devices?

In my experience, the way that race and ethnic bases are destroyed is by stratifying people into communities based on interest.
There isn't a "Hispanic gay community" and a "Black gay community". There is a gay community. This applies to all communities in my experience, because the system is designed to segregate based on "values". Race/Ethnic stuff is subconscious here. Its how people choose neighborhoods, it's familial.
If you go to a gun store here for example, you have people of different races, ethnicities, sexes, and ages, and their decisions are all "Gun community" decisions.
They're all asking for the Glock. The same kind of guy that buys the PTR91 Battle rifle every time I go to the store because "it's the roller delayed HK dood" is the same no matter what race. Yet at the same time, you know that if you press a latino guy in a Dodgers cap he's going to pull out a small Glock with the pinky extension just like every other dude. The ethnic autism becomes marginal. The asian guy who is going to talk about how amazing his Ricer's JDM import engine is going to talk about his AR's special finish, and how he has two of them. It's all the same patterns, just taking the paths of least resistance.
Look at El Salvadoreans or Guatemalans as an example. They may be in "hispanic" areas with all the other hispanics, but they are racist against Mexicans (Most non-hispanics aren't aware that lots of central americans think that mexicans are the worst kind of hispanic for reasons that are beyond my pale comprehension, but definitely historical.)
Yet even though these people might be recent immigrants who barely speak the language, they might like Trump because he reminds them of Bukele. Maybe they're here because back home in Colombia socialism takes all their money so they're trying to use the currency value to build some capital. Thats how they bait all the immigrants to come here. The local economy is fucked, so immigrants come here and try and take up whatever they can get that is on a higher tier. Then by the time their children are born here and become Americanized, they're sucked into the same tax structure and credit system we are. No refunds!

Whats the common theme amongst the browns out here? Spanish culture.
The Spaniards dominated and discarded the old culture, and most hispanic/latino/whatever people are going to range from gauge wearing hipsters with an aztec tattoo and a couple books on hispanic studies, to ranchero types that look like they walked off the set of Apocalypto in cowboy gear with round bellies and starchy collared shirts. Or maybe they're baked into the "Angelino" culture and they're 50 year old men wearing a wife beater because in the 90s lowriders were cool, so "the streets" are their identity, holmes.
The major point I'm trying to get at is that all of these people have their own culture, and its just an extension of the one they came from that they adapt to the conditions that are here for them.

There's a common nucleus to all of it that is based in my opinion on the same system that all modern nations are built on that dates back to Old Europe, Rome, etc.
In a more specific sense the question is if this system they adopted is how they actually behave based on instinct. That is the big thing you need to consider.
The vast majority of people regardless of where they come from are just going to adapt to whatever your system offers.
It's entirely up to the authorities, and what society dictates is bad or good. For the most part if you're a "traditional" Hispanic person it means Catholicism. That includes filipinos, who are like the mexicans of asian immigrants.
The Asians still all act like its confucian "face" culture. You can see on paper, they're the most monogamous. They're having young families, they follow the program according to script. They are inscrutable, and just stay in their enclaves ordering Boba and matcha, and going out for Ramen. They basically stay out of peoples way and mind their business, slowly building up their area in their vision. You notice it when you travel from one neighborhood to another and nothing has changed except every building has chinese text and you start to see restaurants and grocery stores offering things that are clearly targeting the people that specifically come from Asia. They have their own specific supermarkets, their own specific banking, everything. Perfect example of a sort of culture-within-a-culture that normies think is "assimilation" when really its the equivalent of Zhang Lao coming from somewhere in China, putting on a polo shirt, driving to the golf course in his Tesla for his tech job meetup and telling everyone to call him "Jason Lao".
In every instance, the abortion/homo phenomena has to do with the general social malaise that is in every culture these days.
Black people are going to do their thing no matter what.

500 million to Ukraine just recently
50 million to Trump proof the state, today.
$770 to people who lost it all.

Nice.

Do you know why they're giving people that paltry $770? Because if they accept it, they can't sue the state for damages. It's an ass-covering maneuver.

Oh Ok. It's still California so there'd be no water for it.
I was thinking about a bunch of poles sticking out of the ground that shit out pressurized streams in a perimeter around the mountain organized into different sectors so you don't run into the problem of draining all the water in one go.

He should declare martial law and have all the mostly Democrat leaders and their families tried for treason and sent to the chair.

Martial law doesn't mean what you think it means. Only reason I say this is because I remember getting into an argument with someone and I thought martial law was 100% total dictatorial governance, atkeast thats what I thought it was or thats what I gather from your statment. Come to find out martial law has been declared numerous time before, specifically during the riots when the Bulls won and were becoming a dynasty. Just saying.

SoCal Edison blamed in a lawsuit for starting one of the Los Angeles fires​

Southern California Edison, the electrical utility for Los Angeles, has been sued for its alleged role in starting one of the raging Los Angeles fires that have collectively killed at least 24 people and displaced tens of thousands.


Jeremy Gursey, whose house in the Altadena neighborhood was destroyed in the Eaton Fire, claimed in a lawsuit filed in LA County Superior Court Monday SCE was responsible for starting the fire – an allegation SCE has repeatedly denied. Local officials also said Monday they still have not determined the cause of the fires, although they are investigating an electrical transmission tower in Eaton Canyon as the possible origin site of the Eaton Fire, according to the Los Angeles Times.


Gursey cited as evidence photographs taken by Altadena residents Jennifer Errico and Marcus Errico, who at around 6:15 p.m. on January 7 captured a small blaze underneath transmission lines running through Eaton Canyon. The Erricos on Friday told CNN’s Anderson Cooper they had spotted the start of the Eaton fire.


“I saw a glow in the hillside right above our house,” Marcus Errico told CNN on Friday. “And as I got closer, I could see right across from us on the hillside in Eaton Canyon, there are a series of transformer towers with power lines stretching up into the mountains. And at the base of one, there was just a small ring of flames around the whole base.”


Notably, Errico said he was unsure whether SCE was responsible for the blaze.


“I can’t say definitively that it was the power lines that caused it,” Errico told CNN. “But I can say definitively that the first fire in Pasadena and Altadena – Eaton Canyon is right on the edge of Altadena and Pasadena – that’s where the fire began. It was under that tower on Tuesday night. It was - it began as a small little blaze underneath and within 10 minutes, the whole hillside was engulfed in the fire.”




SCE in a statement Sunday said a review of circuits and transmission lines in the Eaton Canyon area showed its electrical equipment was unlikely to have caused the fire.


“That analysis shows no interruptions or operational/electrical anomalies in the 12 hours prior to the fire’s reported start time until more than one hour after the reported start time of the fire,” the utility said.


SCE did not respond to a request for comment Monday on the lawsuit. Shares of SCE’s parent company, Edison International, (EIX) fell 10% Monday and are down 30% over the past week as investors fear the company may bear some financial responsibility for the fires.


Other utilities that have been found liable have paid high costs: Pacific Gas and Electric, California’s largest utility, filed bankruptcy in 2019 after it was linked to a series of wildfires in California. And a group of companies that included Hawaiian Electric settled for $4 billion with residents for the businesses’ role in the 2023 Lahaina fire.


Richard Bridgford, partner at Bridgford, Gleason & Artinian, who represents Gursey in the lawsuit filed Monday, said the evidence pointing to SCE is growing.


“They stated that the distribution lines to the east of Eaton Canyon would be energized,” Bridgford said in an interview with CNN. “We happen to know the ignition point is directly below their line. We believe based upon the video evidence and based upon extensive discussion with our experts they will be found to have started the fire.”


Bridgford said the company failure to de-energize its overhead wires despite a red flag wind warning issued by the National Weather Service makes SCE a likely culprit in the fire. Although there is no hard evidence yet, Bridgford said he believes “there’s always going to be more evidence coming.”


Although Gursey’s lawsuit is the first against the electrical utility, it is almost certainly not the last. Bridgford has represented tens of thousands of wildfire victims in the past and said this lawsuit is just the start.


“We have quite a few more lined up,” he said.

Honestly, I haven't been keeping up with the actual firefighting side of this in the last two days because it was constantly changing. I'm not up on that side enough to even guess how long this will burn.

What has kept my interest is the admin side of things. From the tone of the mainstream articles I've seen, I think they're going to end up pinning a lot of the blame for this on Bass. Someone is going to have to take the fall for this and it's not going to be Newsom. They've got way too much tied up in him to ever let him be defeated by his horrible policies. They're doing everything they can to save his image but it doesn't seem to be sticking, from the crying about "misinformation," to ORANGE MAN BAD. I think as soon as they get solid polling info, they're going to have to make the decision to force Bass to resign to take the heat off Newsom. That's the feeling I've been picking up, but then again, I've been wrong about plenty of things in the past.

IIRC Mexico was the seat of the Viceroy during colonial times, and they kept interfering in Central America during the early days of independence. Central America has always been under the thumb of Mexico City on an economic and cultural level, even well after they stopped officially trying to rule them. There's also racial politics behind it. Mexico is whiter than those Central American countries are, especially the north and in the very core of Mexico City where all the political and economic elites live. Even in the current_year, being white gives you automatic advantages in Mexico. Decades of leftist rule haven't even made a dent in changing this. Even their current lefty president literally has two European Jewish immigrant parents. Central America, by contrast, is a lot like Southern Mexico in that it's poorer, more corrupt, more crime-ridden, and way more Amerindian in their descent. It's basically the same reasons a guy from Sicily hates the Milanese.
