Yeah, a lot of use who are aware of the world see the clear shit that is pulled right in front of our faces, and everyone who doesn't either don't know the true extent of the consequences or brush off even insane shit like its nothing...and of course, a lot of this shit happened thanks to idiots with smartphones and social media, giving too much of the world at their fingertips. Lest we not forget there's a subgroup who don't give a shit about where their stuff come from despite complaining about where it came from...thanks Apple.

Well said. Despite the negronis some of you give me (and I do cry myself to sleep in a drunken stupor every night over it), I assume we're all here trying to figure out what in the living fuck to do about this shitshow and how best to serve our families (yes, not communities, our families). And do the best we can by the people close to us.

It would be interesting to see some sort of informal demographic survey for A&N. I'm guessing ...

  1. male
  2. 30 to 50
  3. white
  4. traditionalist
  5. outcasts as teens (probably a lot of former punk rockers in here)
  6. tech savvy
  7. hyper-politically aware (chronically online)
  8. well-read
  9. most importantly: some responsibility for others in our lives

Peak American civilization were the cars in the 1970ies. Big, opulent, comfortable. Optimistic about the owners ability to afford fuel.

Best car I ever had was a ‘77 Mercury Grand Marquis. Had a goddamn couch as front seats. Probably the internal space of like three modern shitboxes.

I’m telling you, nothing would revive the American spirit than making huge ass, opulent gas guzzling cars. Just with some modern design cues. And real metal for the switches and buttons instead of that metallic plastic.

I’ll bet you young people would start to have sex as well, if Ford and GM went all in on this.

The people saying this were the news media that lied about everything else (or the fools who believed every word they said) for the past decade so it's hardly surprising.

It was a thing from the Bush years. The Daily Show set were freaking out that Bill O'Riley was talking about all the amenities that poor households have and acting like "Oh you think someone isn't really poor if they own a fridge or a microwave??" completely oblivious as to what actual poverty is outside of the 1st world.

This is a really interesting point from Victor Hanson that i've been thinking about since trump started gaining momentum last election.

I think he's right, but this exact dynamic applies to a lot more than just universities.

I'm not much of a deep state believer (deus ex fanboyism aside) but I think there is a gradient leading into something similar to such, there are no doubt decisions being made with reasoning that will never be made public.

For simplicity's sake let's assume the deep state exists and controls the entire western world. I believe said deep state has come to the conclusion that they fucked themselves into a corner.
-Globalism has caused massive issues
-Immigration has been a disaster
-China and Russia didn't play ball
-The middle east is still fucked
-Dei is nightmare
Let's just blanket all of this under "wokeism", the practical reality of it has just caught up to the idealists.

I think everyone from establishment dems to European governments, to military leaders, to corporate CEOs, genuinely want to flip the kill switch on all of it but given how much they've programmed the masses to believe anyone opposed to wokeism is a nazi, they can't do it publicly.

Trump is their ticket out of this rock and a hard place. Just as VDH describes in that video, he's somebody they can point to and say "oh no... oh we're really trying sooooo hard to stop this guy but we just can't darn it's so difficult he has all of this power... yeah too bad darn" but in truth they're 100% behind everything he's doing because they're scared shitless of what will happen if he doesn't.

Look at what has happened since Trump took office:
-Canada found its national identity
-Europe is rearming
-Immigration is getting the boot across the west
-DEI is getting flushed
-Universities are getting their shit together.
-Muslims are getting put in their place
-South Africa is getting called out
-The chinese problem is being talked about seriously
-Trade deals are being renegotiated

All shit that everybody with a brain knew needed to be done sooner or later, but also knew how unpopular it would all be. And it follows the same pattern every time: Trump does something > the news talks about how it's soooo bad > dems seethe on twitter and do some meaningless gesture like a walkout, > a month later trump gets exactly the outcome he wanted. A rearmed europe, deportations, trade deals, and so on.

It somehow seems too convenient.

Some more context leading up to the above clip

the simplicity of them is what i enjoy the most. easy to work on and not bloated with bullshit. theyre too old to daily but they are great. i think the golden age of automotive production was 95 - 2005. simple enough to work on yourself, not too much electrical bullshit, modern enough to daily (OBD2 is great), some actually get decent gas mileage and beyond that they were actually built to last. i cant think of a single vehicle made today that will be on the road in 20 - 30 years. all emission laden sensor burdened plastic bullshit. if anyone goes out and becomes a debt nigger for a modern vehicle they are retarded.

Everyone but me (a huwyte male gigachad, naturally) is a tranny jeet shill until I become convinced otherwise. I assume this by default of any website, and I don't see why I would treat the Farms any differently.

And a bunch of you (presumed) tranny jeet shills still have some convincing to do.
