just run an attack campaign of "Gavin Newsom wants to make America just like California" set to footage of San Francisco.

I can see it now. "Newsom wants to make America go up in smoke" pictures of wildfires, burning buildings.
The spam images of Vance in a firefighter outfit.

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.

The rapidly decaying Bill Kristol as seen in a recent podcast.

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.

The incessant push of abortion is absolutely disgusting and really only serves to benefit corporations that no longer have to worry about maternity leave.

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."

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.

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

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.

Spoiler: Bonus vidya TDS

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

(If the webp makes it impossible to read, bottom right says "YOU KNOW WHO... HA")

Can't even escape TDS in vidya

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.


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 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.

It will... if you're a literal child. Ngl, the Channel Awesome review of Ferngully really showed me how stupid that movie was when I used to watch Doug. It's so bad.

Tim Curry singing this is both sexy and creepy

Also just imagine the sheer volume of FernGully VHS tapes in landfills....ironic no?

[Cryptojew]

Does he notice the blatant 100% copy/paste repeated threads filled with recycled comments? Does he notice when a thread gets inundated with off-topic bot spam to fill it up with garbage? Witnessed a jannie delete a thread or move it to /bant/? Ever seen a bot malfunction? Has he ever wondered why /uhg/ and /chug/ exist, but general threads about improvement or researching a topic get nuked?

He's noticed, but he doesn't seem to care. I've sometimes wondered if he himself isn't one of the concern trolls who ruined the place.

 

[UnidentifiedFlyingOrchid]

I like this thread and you all are pretty neat and some of you are also pretty smart.

But you're definitely even more hugboxy and weird than before the election and you don't have to be. Maybe you should take a couple days off every now and again and not do politics or news. It will still be there when you get back.

"Hugboxy"? Is it normal for a hugbox to have repeated slapfights?


How do we avoid the terrible fate of becoming a hugbox? More conflicting viewpoints? Less friendliness?

take a couple days off every now and again and not do politics or news

Less politics and news in the 'US Politics General 2' thread? Do you want the thread to instead talk about the canceled game C&C: Generals 2?

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.

It's also unnatural to chemically sterilize yourself until you're 35 so you can GDPmaxx. Our culture regards fertility as a disease to be cured. Boys are defective girls, and women are defective men. Each needs to be medicated to become more like the other.

The fucking black pillers said the same shit about securing our border/keeping illegal immigration low, the releasing of the JFK files, pardoning of all the Jan 6 people, etc.. They say they want change when in reality they are married to the status quo and would rather act like there's no tangible change.

The blackpillers are mostly alt-righters for whom anything short of re-enslaving the negroes, cleansing the Fatherland of every Jew, putting Hitler on the $5, and total removal of all nonwhites from America, down to the last descendant of the Tejanos, is failure.

(((Stephen Miller))) fucking reporters in public for 10 minutes, they have nothing beyond their first appeal to emotion over a rapist illegal. The way the administration quickly makes it apparent their first concerns are with the victimized Americans is impressive and probably an idea spearheaded by Miller himself because they can't revert to retarded "but what about his wife and kids n' sheeeit?" He's developing more Telly Savalas in his looks and mannerisms:

In poor environmental or nesting conditions and in times of food scarity mother birds often eat their own eggs. More or less often depending on the species but it isn't uncommon.

It seems rather silly to even come up with a hypothetical to use a BMW to do "truck stuff" since the buyers of that market don't really use them for that purpose.

you ever see that mercedes pick up truck they tried in europe?

 

[Mr. Cow]

“Borders are a social construct” you know what else is a social construct? Human rights should we get rid of those too?

Yes. Human rights from its inception is a religious concept *insert Sargon meme* and that without God human rights is a meaningless concept. However, the real issue with Human rights is that it combined Human dignity with the false concept of equality. All these retarded arguments about how we need to treat illegals boil down to the idea that everyone needs to be treated equally, even when they are illegal pedophiles. Reject equality and Human rights, return to Human dignity.
