And finally, everything had to be drafted/machined/processed by hand or with dumb machine tools. Even with all of that, Soviet reindustrialization happened. So the US for sure can do it.
We can reindustrialize in a blink if the corporations are willing to pay people a living wage to go back into the factories. The problem is, they won't. Either they'll have the factories be overseas, or they'll get rid of minimum wage laws so that they can make people work in the factories for $1 an hour. Because making American workers work in factories for twice or five times the minimum wage would force them to take a huge hit to their profits, and if that happens, the shareholders leave, and take their money with them.

The USSR reindustrialized easily because the State told them to do so, there were no private shareholders holding the CEO's balls, because the State had the factory owner's balls in its vice grip, and it wasn't letting go. That, and they had all the capitalists liquidated along with the Russian Royal Family. If we tried to do that socialist industrialization here, all the rich idiots that Trump tried to butt-kiss, the people he gave trillion-dollar tax breaks to? They'd whine and bitch and moan, and he'd back down.
 
That sounds like cope from the writers... I can deffinetly believe the ostracized part but the mad about it? I am still 100% convinced biden was on cloud 9 when trump shit on the people who stabbed him in the back.

Great write up btw, interesting stuff.
He was pissed enough at them that he saw helping Trump more as fucking them over. He wasn't losing his legacy to some uppity nigger cocksucker from California if he had anything to say about it.
 
Good in the here and now, but long term they're really proving the point of why this shift needs to be done. Any trade partner over a long enough period of time will have disputes and conflicts, both trade and non-trade in nature. If you're permanently beholden to their cooperation for something, then you are in a bad place. Ideally, you have a domestic baseline, and foreign trade is a surplus/nice to have.
Reminds me of CivIV where I’d need my neighbor’s iron to crank out swordsman. They’d get pissed at my army expansion declare war on me cutting off my iron supply and cucking my army.
 
I guess they'd be cool with strangers in their houses then, living off their stuff? Walls are borders, too, and if no human is illegal, everyone's a resident! After all, that's how it worked in Aurora.
No. Much like how the second illegals were shipped into Martha's Vineyard they literally called the military in immediately to get them out, Diversity is something they believe in, but only when other people are reaping the costs of it.
The system has been weird since the update, I wouldn't be mad at him tbh
Yeah, the [redacted] will occasionally not clear out your text input field at the bottom of the page after posting, and if you don't catch it, it'll re-save it as a draft.

Blacks are above the law, I am convinced that a black teenager could rape a Childs corpse and he would still get off Scott freeView attachment 7220527
Im still looking at this with the context of the elites wanting cover for a false flag attack where a white person that's a CIA asset kills black people in order to shut down X.
I'm honestly REALLY bummed that the Rogan interview fell through, because she was making staffers pull their hair out trying to deliver her talking points naturally in sympathetic settings, and apparently the campaign had caved on giving Joe control of the discussion topics. The book claims they had coached Kamala to try and be more off the cuff, but her her aides were feeling cheated when the Trump appearance on Rogan's show dropped the morning before her rally.
I'm not sure how much I believe that, it sounds like them trying to put blame on Rogan for why she didn't show up there, but I do know that any discussion between them would have been cringe incarnate.
Harris's campaign wanting editorial privilege over the show was probably a major factor in Joe Rogan telling her to get fucked.
 
The Soviets reindustrialized in about 5-10 years, starting with a population much of which was illiterate, innumerate and had never seen a watch (as described vividly in Darkness At Noon.) They were very constrained not only in human resources but in other profound ways.
Have you met Gen Alpha (i.e. generation whose formative early educational years were unfortunately during the Covid pandemic)? They're barely literate, and definitely could not read time on a basic clock. Gen Alpha < Russian peasants. At least Russian peasants brains weren't fried by CoComelon & TikTok.
 
It all starts from the retarded belief that success, stability, and prosperity is just this physical thing that exists that certain people found, and are keeping other people from having.
This also lines up the dark triad of right wing ideology— neoconservatives, techbro capitalists (including NRx), and libertarians all share a pervasive sense that the majority has unfairly lucked into the good life at their expense. I would argue that as on the left, what’s really at play is a pathological contempt of normalcy (which in the West means the culture and values of White people) .

Elon Musk, (((Bill Kristol))), random brownoids, and Kevin Gibes all have the same issue: being limited by normal White people. Telling Elon he can't have infinity jeets is like telling Bill he can't eat foreskins, is like telling a nigger he can't steal, is like telling Kevin he can't jerk off in the women's room. All of these defective, antagonistic people are angry at being told NO and want us punished and replaced for it.

The ideological convergence between the Republican establishment and the left makes sense when it is viewed as a bunch of people who are angry that their hyper-exploitive short term strategies are being curtailed.

DECENTER THE MAJORITY! is a slogan for all hostile minorities, including elite ones like billionaires, Ivy League grads, and the expert class.

All of them sucking Israeli cock is quite a common denominator despite being probably very selfish and self serving greedy people.
 
I had the radio on today in my car while running errands, and a station I listen to had a bit on where they had a woman talking about having an abortion when getting pregnant out of wedlock when she was young. She started sobbing during telling her story. I felt very uneasy and horrid listening to it, like I was either going to get sick or pass out listening to it.

In nature, a mother bird will even sacrifice her life to prevent her eggs from being scathed in a forest fire. Meanwhile, a human woman will end her unborn child's life since she sees it as an inconvenience to her hedonistic lifestyle. Abortion is completely unnatural, and yet Feminist types love it and act like they are never ever regretted ever.
The incessant push of abortion is absolutely disgusting and really only serves to benefit corporations that no longer have to worry about maternity leave.
We can reindustrialize in a blink if the corporations are willing to pay people a living wage to go back into the factories. The problem is, they won't.
Then they can lose out on the most lucrative market on the planet.

It also serves the various factions that want the west to self destruct. The CCP, for example, gutted themselves with their One Child Policy, and it's going to take ~100 years to fix the problem. How do you deal with that as a crafty little chink? You trick your enemies into doing the same thing to themselves. Then the playing field is leveled.

Then they can lose out on the most lucrative market on the planet.
The idea is as anathema to them as "maybe people CAN be here illegally and should be removed if so" is to the left. Remember, you are required to compete with the entire world over who can do the most work for the least amount of pay and companies have the right (nay, the duty!) to outsource everything to the cheapest possible place on the planet -- and as an economic zone, we have no right to complain about this.

A minimum wage law that tariffs individual companies who outsource labor to someplace cheap would be amusing, but they'd just fake the numbers. But imagine that: "Oh, you moved all your support staff to India where you can pay them 1/10th what you'd pay Americans? Ok then, we're taking the difference out of your company in taxes."

Just put up giant monitors constantly playing TikTok compilations on loops, with those "satisfying videos" or Subway Surfers gameplay in the corner, that'll get them in the zone :story:

On a more political note, I was talking to a friend in South Korea, and according to him; ever since Trump got elected, there has been a lot more talk about him and U.S. policies in general (understandably) compared to Biden from Korean television news (although I doubt his claim that it matches local/Korean news in coverage). He couldn't tell me if it was positive or negative though, he says he wasn't paying that much attention and was really only basing it on how much he heard their names.

He also sent me this screenshot from him playing Splatoon 3 recently:

Same problem on X, esp alt right on there, most notably Owens and Ian Carroll

trump is a jew, epsteins list isnt out yet, RFK jr is being blackmailed by israel so MAHA wont happen and she'll show evidence eventually

the groyper/owens right is dedicated to proving that nothing ever happens and everything is a jewish psyop
I'm not sure if they are Concern Trolls.

Calling Candace Owens and Ian Carroll "alt right" is pretty funny. I guess there isn't a good name for the anti-Israeli-interests rightwing. I wonder if Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, or Joe Rogan get to be "alt right" too; it sounds better than "woke right" at least.

Candace Owens made a series on vaccines and healthcare called A Shot in The Dark. It's labelled as "anti-vax". I haven't watched it because it's in a rambly mommy-blog format.

Ian Carroll became "famous" on TikTok with videos explaining how food in the grocery store is all made by a handful of companies and some of the ingredients are unhealthy. I only noticed him recently because he was on Joe Rogan.

I assume neither is friends with Big Pharma or Big Slop. They say they want RFK Jr to do the reforms he wants. That would make them "allies" of RFK Jr. Owens and Carroll would be Concern Trolling if they are only pretending to care and actually want RFK Jr to fail.

I sat through and watched their recent video on Rumble.
Screenshot_20250415.webp

They claim to have info from people RFK Jr worked with about sex related skeletons he has in his closet (Ian Carroll: "typical of a Kennedy"). They think RFK Jr is blackmailed by Rabbi "buttplug" Shmuley over something sexual. The buttplug references are due to him promoting his daughters Israeli made sex products:

RFK Jr with Rabbi Shmuley:
Rabbi Schmuley - RFK Jr.webp
Rabbi Shmuley acts almost like a caricature. @John Badman posted a debate between Candace Owens and Rabbi Shmuley in the first US Politics thread back in September.

In the Candace Owens and Ian Carroll video they both seem confident RFK Jr is blackmailed, and that it will limit what reforms RFK Jr can get done. Ian Carroll explains he recently heard Bret Weinstein explain blackmail can seem like friendship (tl;dr: "I'll cover that up for you bro"). They talk about media being less censored now. Ian Carroll mentions Gamer Gate, and Candice Owens recalls that's how she started going down rabbit holes. Then talk about centralized control vs decentralized freedom. Then they doubt if Trump is "America First" or if he changed “after Miriam Adelson wrote that $100 million check to him.” After an ad break, Ian Carroll says this kind of blackmail has always been going on throughout history, but now with the Internet more people know about it; which is a good thing. Talk about porn companies being a source of blackmail (webcam), and porn being bad for you ends the video.



I don't find it hard to believe RFK Jr is blackmailed, and Rabbi Shmuley is involved somehow. RFK Jr has to awkwardly make pro-Israel statements, and MAHA reforms are slower than you would expect. Zero real proof by anyone so far.

I also think Candace Owens and Ian Carroll want RFK Jr to succeed at MAHA reforms. So, I don't think they are Concern Trolling. I do think they were probably fed info and funded to talk about this for reasons unrelated to MAHA.

It is fairly obvious there is funding for influencers to exert pressure to stop Israel's push for war against Iran; @Catch The Rainbow would call this Qatar funding. Qatar launders money all over the place, so I don't know who all the sources of funding are; the possible list includes anyone against war with Iran. Probably similar people to those funding investigations into Bibi Netanyahu and Qatargate (news|archive).

@Catch The Rainbow I feel like you somehow tricked me into talking about Israel by using the topic of Concern Trolling as bait.
rubs hands - wow, free bait.webp
