"conservative latinos" is a meme
...
dems will screech about FUCK CHRIST FUCK THE CHURCH all day, and mexicans will keep venerating the little statue of mary and the crucifix they keep in their home, and at the end of the day they'll still vote dem because it's in their ethnicity's best interest to do so.

Except that hispanics already break 30% republican, and that has held steady or slightly ticked upwards over recent years. Compare that to 8-10% GOP support from blacks... and the dems are not making legit gains either... they squawked about in in 2016 and 2018. Despite Trump arguably shitting on many latinos, according to the leftist talking points, Florida still had some midterm GOP successes thanks in no small part to hispanic turnout. It's not necessarily a matter of hispanics as a whole, it's who among them actually bothers showing up to the polls. Like I said... I don't think this is any kind of slam dunk for american conservatism... but I think a solid 30-40% of latinos who give enough of a shit to show up to the polls is not something that can be automatically handwaved away as a meme. It's a legit voting block that conservatives should be looking to at least maintain going forward.... and again... a charismatic hispanic populist could easily make gains.

Cubans are more right-leaning than other latinos, which is why they have a significant presence in Florida. But even that is an exception that proves the rule.

People do try, and sometimes it works, but a lot of the time folks look at Snopes and believe what they're fed. Best way to get actual news is to look at local newspapers. Alternatively, Kiwifarms does a good job of archiving things, but sometimes people slip up here, too. (Not that it's their fault- stuff gets updated as it happens.) Two plus two is whatever the party wants it to be.

Eh watch out for local newspapers, my local news paper in a major metro area is mostly AP news wires now with a shit ton of spelling and grammar errors. The entire point of the paper is to cover local stuff, but they kicked that to the curb a long time ago.

Google's decline into uselessness was the biggest blackpill for me, before all this started.

I'm old enough to remember when there were a dozen equally viable search engines on the web, and what each of their quirks were, and finding exactly what you want was an actual skill. You had to learn how to search, with booleans and specific punctuation marks, none of this user-friendly natural language stuff. (In fact, natural language was a feature of AskJeeves.com, to let normies get in on searching without boolean logic.)

Lost to time are Yahoo's categories, a manual process of sorting every submitted site into broader categories of the entire web. Yes, there were actual people doing this sorting; there was a manual web form to submit your site for consideration, which I went through multiple times, with varying results. And some search engines had blind spots--they didn't index the hacker sites, or inner pages of portal sites, or porn, or BBS archives, or certain webrings. They weren't quite slanted, but processes like Yahoo's categories would skew how information looked to their users.

The simple genius of Google's original PageRank algorithm is that it categorized the entire Internet, automatically, using link references as a proxy for usefulness. That was brilliant back in the Web 1.0 days, for its elegance as well as its total efficiency. Google's spiders indexed the entire web, a feat that many thought was technically impossible.

But the most important thing was that it let a skilled user find anything, without restriction or skew. I can't describe to newer users how liberating the change was after having to scan through 5-10 pages of results on other sites. And it let content sites grow without authoritative connections; if enough people liked your stuff and linked to it, you became the authority. If the truth was out there, you could find it.

Obviously this system was gamed over the years, and Google has always declared they change the algorithm constantly to avoid spam and top-of-results hijacking. But a searcher could still tweak out the results you wanted... until recently.

The blackpill came when I was feeling nostalgic one day, and searched for some old 2000-era sites I knew had been indexed and archived by Google. And they're gone. The listings don't come up, no matter how many ways I try to reference them. Some of these were old Geocities pages, but others were small useful hobbyist sites, the kind that flourished before Wikipedia sucked up all reference material into its festering maw.

Shortly after that Google search results started looking the same, page after page, for issues I knew had two controversial sides. I won't say it was a person going in to make ideological tweaks; it might just be the way the algorithm favors "trusted sources", who conveniently all engage in groupthink. But 15-20 years ago the top contrarian opinion sites would make it onto the first page, because their concentration of links told Google it was notable.

All the social media nonsense could be excused if the basic ability to find information wasn't compromised. But it is. And Trump's neglecting to address it, despite being the first politician to bend Big Tech to his own use, is his biggest failure.

I'd go so far as to say 2020 is the first test run of broad-spectrum information control during a crisis. Before, there were always outlets where truth could leak out, coalesce around users, and take form before anyone stifled it. Twitter itself used to be one of those outlets. Now, thanks to the concentration of the web into the hands of a few coordinated players, the entire visible internet can be manipulated at will, and the smaller pockets like KF can be safely quarantined.

We already knew 2020 would be the test run of information control during an election cycle. I guess the manipulators at Big Tech just got lucky they could test it out on multiple crises first, work out the kinks so the campaign manipulation will be even more efficient.

If you deliberately interfere with interstate commerce on a federally funded highway, you should automatically lose all rights to sue over it, and the driver should be immune from prosecution for anything but outright intentional homicide, and even that should be subject to a pretrial motion for self defense if the driver had reasonable cause to believe he was about to be Reginald Denny'd, which these fuckers admit they want to do.

If some group is crazy enough they're attacking a vehicle, you should be able to presume that if the violent mob got you out of it, you'd be killed.

Not even that, if you surround my car, Im going to be afraid for my own (and my passenger's) safety, I never seen a mob surround a car that ended well, the mob usually ends up beating the shit out of the passengers and driver, if the driver doesn't run over the mob to GTFO that is.

I agree with that, but Cubans have pulled closer to center over time... some polls show them as roughly a 50/50 split in the last few elections. And remember, Trump pulling 30% of the national Hispanic vote, not just Florida, should land him a swing state or two. And all the trends show him taking 25% on the low end.

Like I said in my original post, I don't consider this any kind of slam dunk... I'm not trying to parrot The Great Latino Hope for american conservative politics... Just that if you are a GOP strategist with a few critical thinking brain cells to rub together, you'd be doing your damnedest to point out that any hispanic in the middle class with something worth losing has more in common with the GOP then the current identity politics outrage mob that is going to eat everything in it's path in a vicious purity spiral if left unchecked.

I have some proficiency in Latin and am intrigued; could you link to the specific passages in the original Latin that you're referring to? I'm sure they're in the public domain and online somewhere, but I'm asking you because you would know where to look and what to look for.

Didn't see anyone reply to this so here's a Latin version of Tacitus' texts:

Good luck finding the passages!

I believe Brave New World is a better analogy to these days than 1984. Brave New World was more subtle yet used the themes of futurism mixed with hedonism that really feels like this timeline. Just my opinion, though.
Click to expand...

Strongly agree, Brave New World is the world we've been living in, but somehow worse as in this one you're not allowed to rank people based on IQ and assign lowest IQ to manual labor.

A must-read for anyone comparing Current Year to 1984. Huxley was right.

Honestly, having read both Brave New World and 1984, it is more of a 1984, people say "its more like Brave New World, because the booze stores were open during Corona-chan" The thing is Victory Gin played a large background roll in 1984, Winston was drinking it a lot to the point "this tears smelled like gin". Then you have this tweet:
1984Tweet.png
Which is the same logic from 1984, when Winston is being "re educated" by O'Brian about how many fingers O'Brian is holding up.
http://www.george-orwell.org/1984/18.html (I quoted it a few pages back)

How the Party kept the proles in line
" And the Ministry had not only to supply the multifarious needs of the party, but also to repeat the whole operation at a lower level for the benefit of the proletariat. There was a whole chain of separate departments dealing with proletarian literature, music, drama, and entertainment generally. Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime and astrology, sensational five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means on a special kind of kaleidoscope known as a versificator. There was even a whole sub-section—Pornosec, it was called in Newspeak—engaged in producing the lowest kind of pornography, which was sent out in sealed packets and which no Party member, other than those who worked on it, was permitted to look at. "

People don't pay attention to how the Party kept the Proles in line is a very "Brave New World" way, but party members (which Winston was a part of) had more "sterile " lives.

What the far left did to Evergreen is really interesting because it seems like a dry run for what they're trying to do to America.

I honestly find this stuff hard to watch because I've been in situations where I had to humor people like this and even seeing them on video makes my hackles rise.

Incidentally, if you're ever in a situation where you have to humor people like this then leave. It doesn't matter what it costs you, get them out of your life. Even if you end up penniless in the third world.

How many people are willing to risk their necks to stand up for what is right? We all know it's wrong, we all know people are changing their minds. But the people at the top haven't and won't because their stakes are even greater than ours and frankly they never got to where they are by being overly concerned with morals or ethics. The price for apostasy is still the loss of your ability to earn an income. It's going to be that until it actually hurts the big companies, and they can just ship in more compliant customers and employees than we can ever make domestically.

They have the power to dictate reality. Soon you'll be IP banned if you ask the wrong things, at best.


Good for Trump, I suppose. But what happens in 2024? In 2028? in 2032? Will we even get halfway through the 2020's before elections themselves are deemed racist and cancelled? Shit, even if they don't, the demographic change in the USA is (practically) irreversible and there will be a permanent democrat majority starting in the early 2040's that will last for as long as civilization does. That's the thing that should keep you awake at night, not Trump winning and delaying the inevitable by a relatively infinitesimal period of time. This battle was lost decades ago, probably over a century ago.

They only thing you can pray for by then is a race war between the elites where the hispanics/latinos win and dominate the blacks and whites lol.

Remember they're very insistent it's only black lives that matter. Not Hispanic lives. Not Asian lives. Most definitely not white lives or all lives. ONLY black lives matter. Not any other kind of lives but blacks. The rest of those guys can just go fuck themselves. Their lives don't mean shit.

Its better even then that. Don Lemon was very clear in the Terry Crews interview that it also does not mean ALL Black Lives. Only Black Lives that die in a manner that can further the cause. All other jigaboo slims can get fucked. Which pointed out quite nicely that Black Lives Matter only if they are useful to Left Wing revolutionaries.
