I am looking forward to us getting into June. I believe Pride Month™ this year will be interesting to watch, given the pendulum starting to swing back on trannies and queers. Have companies picked up on the scent in the wind that troons and DEI bullshit are on their way out? Is nature healing?

There was an article from earlier in the month about how a lot of these organizations either aren't seeing the donations they were in years previous, or the companies that are still donating don't want their brand or logo associated with the event. So it's progress, at least.

I just discovered that certain American gambling companies have made a business out of “real life” betting categories. I wonder if eventually there might be legislation to mitigate the obvious conflict of interest bound to arise here with politicians. Sports betting on its face has a built in limitation. In the absence of full on match fixing, nobody truly knows how a game is going to go. While some autists are REALLY good at predicting that kind of thing, that is because they’re very skilled, not because they have some hidden knowledge (again, we assume the absence of match fixing). But politics betting is different because to some extent there are people who unambiguously know how things are going.

I would like to propose a hypothetical scenario here. Let’s say there’s a disarmament negotiation going on with Iran, and the betting market gets really hot. Now let’s say a diplomat just witnessed a private negotiation that was absolutely and utterly botched, to the extent that he can be sure that the deal won’t happen. So he tells his wife’s relative to take out a big loan to bet against the deal. Has he broken the law? How on earth would he be punished for this if he got caught?

where is this? those korean birth rate odds seem like a great payout

I'm also looking forward to July. I can't wait for the classic comeback of "umm America is actually an evil empire. One of the worst in history. Also since you elected Bad Orange Man the country is guilty of a grave sin so you shouldn't be celebrating the 4th!"

Not quite. Huge mass migrations caused German tribes to overwhelm Western Rome. What's fucking weird is no historians are really looking at what caused Eastern people to migrate Europe, and then caused Northern/Central Europeans to invade Rome, but this is a topic for another thread. Just food for thought.

in terms of huns etc, partially it's because they just do that, it's what central asian nomads do. historians do look at the causes for specific intrusions, it's just intrinsically very difficult to place nomads in history until they're there fucking up your shit. you can kind of look at Chinese history, environmental data, language data, and genetics, and make guesses as to what conditions aligned to make one tribe kick another tribe off their pasturage and the second tribe come back and be like DON'T FUCKING DO THAT and eat some of the first tribe to make the point stick so the first tribe is like fuck it let's go raid those fat fuckers far away, but it's always going to be speculative.

in terms of the germanic speaking tribes, they kicked the romans' shit in for the same reason the romans had previously kicked the celtic speaking tribes shit in. I don't think you need to make any historical argument for why people take other people's shit when they get the opportunity, it's like making a historical argument for why people have sex.

Neopagans really are something aren't they
View attachment 7410007

Anyone describing themselves as Neopagan is a special level of stupid. Their ideology and behavior speaks for itself, just right wing atheists trying to borrow pagan imagery to spite Abrahamic religions. Just all around dumb, like they're so mentally sick with hatred of Christians their brain falls out.

I'm quite concerned about the pendulum swing back. It will happen, probably another ten years. Mostly about a coming race war, because as cheeseburgers, we simply cannot go without sperging about race. The bounties on white heads will be a million a pop, and most likely the same on blacks.

Right now the pendulum is slowing down, but will probably start swinging back within 5 years.

the next 20-30 years will probably be spent undoing all the damage that has been done to society, but the lynch mobs and mass arrests can be accelerated depending on how violently the radical left protests.

Many of them aren't even right-wing - Tiktok zoomer witches, for instance, are very much gay liberal retards.

First, I learned what "endowment" means. Secondly, I learned that despite Harvard's high average tuition and generous donors, their federal funding (grants and contracts) amounted of $1.9 billion and $2.4 billion from Biden and Trump, respectively. That's not even accounting for their individual grants and donations.

All this talk about income inequality, Harvard is propping themselves as a resistance against Trump when they are swimming in money that is arguably as much as a few countries' GDP. For EDUCATION.

It's kinda nice to see a somebody actually questioning stuff like Harvard's influence

another thing - @Chuckwagon 's post and paying attention to the volkswanderung period in general should make a person give some thought to white ethnogenesis.

To be fair, actual Jews have a serious bone to pick with modern "Reformed Judaism" which is taking over many synagogues like how the lefties are taking over Christian churches. They are getting pissed and I don't blame them.

Rabbi near me let fly with a tirade about that that wouldn't have been out of place on mid-2008 /pol/, so I know you're right it.

historians do look at the causes for specific intrusions, it's just intrinsically very difficult to place nomads in history until they're there fucking up your shit.

As I recall in his episodes on the Mongols, Dan Carlin speculated that changes in regional weather in the preceding decades lead to greatly increase food and feed yields enabling the nomadic tribes to have more horses and larger populations. Eventually they grew large enough that the local habitat couldn't contain them and so they started conquering. Horse archers turned out to be effective against a lot of the other armies they fought and they had some good military leaders in charge of them.

Even the Romans started as a small tribal group that was more successful than neighboring tribes and took over the region before going on to establish a massive empire. They had generally better methods of fighting than the people they conquered and had a system of governance that managed to hold together over the hundreds of years that it took to maintain and hold what they conquered.

Nomadic groups also aren't good at record keeping. We know more about civilizations thousands of years older because they stayed in one place and recorded information in clay or stone that lasted. Nomadic tribes typically didn't bother developing or using writing as even hide scrolls were of little utility. Any history or tradition was oral and far easier to lose.

Well, when you act like everything is another Shoah, people assume everything is Antisemitic you kikes.

You know what's even funnier? I still have Harvard stuck in my head, so I found a piece about Harvard settling on antisemitic lawsuits. The important part of that piece is Harvard officially defining what consists of "antisemitism."

Definition of antisemitism. Notably, Harvard will adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism. It reads as follows:

Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.

The IHRA definition contains 11 examples that are now part of Harvard’s own definition of antisemitism. Some of these explain that certain criticisms of Israel can be antisemitic. Such situations include:

• Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
• Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
• Applying double standards by requiring of [Israel] a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
• Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
• Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.

So, because a bunch of entitled college students decided to be public nuisances in support of a terrorist organization, Harvard decided to double down on suppressing public opinion of Zionism as harmful rhetoric. Never mind that the several "protests" of late would not qualify as protest as they're actively harming people with their actions.

That's an overreach of ACTUAL free speech if I've seen one.

Niggershining sure can be profitable for neoliberals: https://nypost.com/2025/05/24/us-ne...e-rich-doubles-net-worth-since-taking-office/

Warnock — who has praised Marxism and cheered the redistribution of wealth — has made a killing since he took office…

The Peach State pastor — whose campaign was heavily backed by far-left billionaire George Soros — doubled his net worth from just over $1 million in 2020 to as much as $2.2 million in 2024, financial disclosure records show.

Not a bad take, even by Swamp standards. Being an ultra-shitlib House (or rather, Senate) Nigger pays off still better than his old Jeremiah Wright graft, whereby he passed off hatred of Caucasians as Christianity.

He accused his predecessor during the race of using her seat to get rich.

But records show he almost tripled his annual earnings, going from $242,101 when he was a reverend in 2020 to bringing in on average $659,977 each year since becoming a politician…

American Senators receive an annual salary of $174,000. Much of Warnock’s remaining lavish income comes from book deals, as virtue-signaling liberals with more dollars than sense shell out for the privilege of placing his probably unread books on their coffee tables.

The limousine Leninist denounces tax cuts for benefitting billionaires — like his patron Alex Soros, who calls him “the epitome of the American dream.”

Even with all his money, Warnock is still accused of using campaign funds to defend himself from lawsuits. There is no greed like neoliberal greed.

Warnock said he would dismantle the American value system. Voters are getting what they voted for.
