@Rhodesiaboo are you basing that off of the people in your high school, or the people your age in general?

2018-01-24 03:38:22 UTC

do you know many people from the regular high school in your area

2018-01-24 03:38:23 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) People in my school

2018-01-24 03:38:46 UTC

I donโ€™t know much about the kids at my old school these days, but the mainstream kids were liberal

2018-01-24 03:39:29 UTC

But then these communist bastards go on and on about the holocaust books, civil rights, and feminist post-modern retardation for the whole fucking curriculum

2018-01-24 03:39:30 UTC

Back in 2012, when the election was going on we were having rap battle between Romney and Obama, and more kids supported Obama then Romney

2018-01-24 03:39:31 UTC

public school does condition you to be somewhat of an activist

2018-01-24 03:39:43 UTC

this Jewish girl who I might date just turned 19 (born 1999)

2018-01-24 03:40:07 UTC

anyway...she said she was a SJWish leftist in high school (academically inclined people tend to gravitate towards that when they're in HS)

2018-01-24 03:40:15 UTC

It either brainwashes you or redpills you, or first the former and then the latter

2018-01-24 03:40:19 UTC

she's pretty right wing now though

2018-01-24 03:40:45 UTC

I became right winged around 2011 thanks to my dad

2018-01-24 03:40:46 UTC

keep in mind that she's about to enter her second semester of her freshman year

2018-01-24 03:40:53 UTC

I'd classify her as Gen Z

2018-01-24 03:40:57 UTC

I think the cutoff is 1996

2018-01-24 03:41:17 UTC

tbh people born in 1996-2000 are more Gen Z than millennial

2018-01-24 03:41:22 UTC

My family's right wing, but apolitical until a few years back

2018-01-24 03:41:29 UTC

I was born in 1994, and I share quite a few traits with Gen Z

2018-01-24 03:41:49 UTC

people born in 1982 are quite different

2018-01-24 03:42:00 UTC

btw how old is everyone here?

2018-01-24 03:42:01 UTC

I'm 23

2018-01-24 03:42:09 UTC

20

2018-01-24 03:42:14 UTC

My Dad was raised in Clevelandโ€™s Little Italy District by my Italian Grandmother and My Danish Grandfather (who I never met)

2018-01-24 03:42:41 UTC

a Danish grandfather? Interesting. I know the midwest has quite a few Scandinavian descendants

2018-01-24 03:43:04 UTC

He was from Grand Rapids, Michigan

2018-01-24 03:43:14 UTC

I've been talking a lot with my family as of late

2018-01-24 03:43:24 UTC

My Grandmother was the Daughter of Sicilian immigrants

2018-01-24 03:44:25 UTC

But they just need to wipe most of the English material off of the fucking map

2018-01-24 03:44:40 UTC

Complete garbage

2018-01-24 03:45:07 UTC

@FLanon do you remember what you were forced to read in high school?

2018-01-24 03:45:11 UTC

Grammar is really where they should stop for the most part, let the people think for themselves later

2018-01-24 03:45:17 UTC

Elie Wiesel, Night

2018-01-24 03:45:22 UTC

MLK stuff

2018-01-24 03:45:26 UTC

my selection in English class wasn't that bad...

2018-01-24 03:45:32 UTC

I think my mother is English, because she said her side of the familyโ€™s ancestors were some of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower

2018-01-24 03:45:35 UTC

Shakespeare's alright

2018-01-24 03:45:39 UTC

oh yeah, we were made to read that in 8th grade and in 10th grade

2018-01-24 03:45:42 UTC

(Night)

2018-01-24 03:45:56 UTC

they just fucking drown you in the holocaust

2018-01-24 03:46:04 UTC

I never read Night

2018-01-24 03:46:28 UTC

basically jooboi goes to auschwitz, papa dies, he gets sad end of story

2018-01-24 03:46:46 UTC

All I remember was in the 5th Grade I red Hatchet, the 9th Grade we red October Sky, and this year Iโ€™m reading the Count of Monte Cristo

2018-01-24 03:47:08 UTC

Then again, in the 8th grade we Red the Boy in the Striped Pajamas

2018-01-24 03:47:08 UTC

haha I remember reading Hatchet in the 5th grade

2018-01-24 03:47:09 UTC

wow actual literature

2018-01-24 03:47:19 UTC

@FLanon are you in college

2018-01-24 03:47:34 UTC

when I went to elementary school in Orlando, Florida

2018-01-24 03:47:44 UTC

social studies was entirely civil rights movement / MLK worship

2018-01-24 03:47:47 UTC

entirely

2018-01-24 03:47:53 UTC

literally no room for anything else

2018-01-24 03:48:04 UTC

I was high GPA so it seems like that's the next step

2018-01-24 03:48:08 UTC

My Parents were on their Honeymoon in Italy when 9/11 happened.

2018-01-24 03:48:09 UTC

the elementary school I 'graduated' from was like 80% black though

2018-01-24 03:48:48 UTC

not sure though, just placing my money into investments and hoping for the best

2018-01-24 03:49:24 UTC

investments?

2018-01-24 03:49:39 UTC

so you're not in college (that's smart)

2018-01-24 03:49:41 UTC

cryptos are hot atm

2018-01-24 03:50:05 UTC

My dad is an Accountant, and my mom was A Stay-at-home Mom who Recently got a job as a Substitute teacher at my brotherโ€™s school.

2018-01-24 03:50:07 UTC

I've heard of bitcoin since 2012/2013

2018-01-24 03:50:13 UTC

by that time it was too late to properly mine them

2018-01-24 03:50:20 UTC

and I didn't have any $ to buy them

2018-01-24 03:50:27 UTC

so I don't feel bad for missing out

2018-01-24 03:50:33 UTC

just hoping for the best, setting up my own capital for later

2018-01-24 03:50:38 UTC

I don't think I'll start jumping on the crypto bandwagon any time soon

2018-01-24 03:50:56 UTC

My dad considers himself a Boomer even though he was born in 1965, and my mom was born in 1970

2018-01-24 03:51:01 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo substitute teacher? Sounds like a tough job tbh

2018-01-24 03:51:14 UTC

yeah, that's moreso Gen X

2018-01-24 03:51:18 UTC

my parents were both born in 1966

2018-01-24 03:51:23 UTC

I'm going to wait until about the '20s until I start selling

2018-01-24 03:51:27 UTC

*Gen X

2018-01-24 03:51:31 UTC

it's the kind of thing you need patience for

2018-01-24 03:51:44 UTC

the 2020s?

2018-01-24 03:51:48 UTC

yep

2018-01-24 03:52:07 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) She usually doesnโ€™t work that much. And my Dad works for the State of Illinois but works in Ohio for the most part.

2018-01-24 03:52:10 UTC

I think the 2020s will be the best decade for the right-wing since the 1980s

2018-01-24 03:52:16 UTC

that's apparently when a lot of the big gains will come in

2018-01-24 03:52:22 UTC

I certainly hope so

2018-01-24 03:52:28 UTC

it makes sense

2018-01-24 03:52:36 UTC

a lot of people are getting disenfranchised with the left

2018-01-24 03:53:06 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo how did you start browsing /pol/ ?

2018-01-24 03:53:24 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) Heard of it through YouTube.

2018-01-24 03:53:27 UTC

I have no clue what'll happen after 2020 rolls around, it all depends really

2018-01-24 03:53:43 UTC

for me it was GameFAQs (from age 11-17)...found out about 4chan when I was around 12, but never really browsed it because I was probably scared of it

2018-01-24 03:53:48 UTC

I thought Facebook and Twitter was too complicated, and Reddit was too Liberal

2018-01-24 03:53:59 UTC

first exposure to online politics was the GameFAQs Politics board

2018-01-24 03:54:09 UTC

I had heard of 4chan for a while and decided to check it out

2018-01-24 03:54:13 UTC

I started browsing /pol/ in 2011 (I was 16)

2018-01-24 03:54:25 UTC

I was a leftist with libertarian sympathies

2018-01-24 03:54:38 UTC

the reason I was drawn to /pol/ was because of how provocative it was

2018-01-24 03:54:44 UTC

(it was a lot more thoughtful back then too)

2018-01-24 03:54:52 UTC

I started browsing a few months ago, before that Iโ€™ve heard of it for a year.

2018-01-24 03:56:00 UTC

I was first exposed to Politics when the 2008 election happened. Back then I didnโ€™t understand anything, and the teachers were telling us to like Obama. My dad always didnโ€™t like him, But thought at first he couldnโ€™t be as bad as he turned out to be.

2018-01-24 03:56:38 UTC

couldn't escape politics after 2014

2018-01-24 03:57:13 UTC

the whole world is a choking space now pretty much

2018-01-24 03:57:45 UTC

I went from being excited over the 2008 election to crying over the 2012 election. When it happened I wanted to shoot Obama at the Inaugural ceremony for some reason.

2018-01-24 03:57:57 UTC

couldn't stay under the rock for very long

2018-01-24 03:58:14 UTC

The FBI is coming for me

2018-01-24 03:58:19 UTC

haha

2018-01-24 03:58:36 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo will you be old enough to vote in 2020

2018-01-24 03:58:46 UTC

gotcha, this is really jc mcfedderson and you're all going to guantanamo

2018-01-24 03:58:49 UTC

My therapist told me one day that one of his other kids hated Trump and wanted to kill him, and got in trouble with the FBI

2018-01-24 03:58:58 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) Yes, I will be

2018-01-24 03:59:26 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo i wouldn't be surprised that there are a lot of people in Gen Z who are apeshit over Trump

2018-01-24 03:59:36 UTC

it's mostly right wing

2018-01-24 03:59:43 UTC

but also very polarized

2018-01-24 03:59:54 UTC

we had a day where kids brought flags to school

2018-01-24 04:00:01 UTC

a sort of spirit day type of deal

2018-01-24 04:00:11 UTC

they're probably learning to be the deranged kind of leftist from their older family members

2018-01-24 04:00:26 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) Iโ€™m mad that they donโ€™t celebrate Columbus Day anymore.

2018-01-24 04:00:50 UTC

this is angering

2018-01-24 04:01:17 UTC

these people, they're trying to undermine everything we've built, all the traditions

2018-01-24 04:01:56 UTC

"the pilgrims were racist" "jesus was a communist" "Columbus committed genocide"

2018-01-24 04:02:00 UTC

Theyโ€™ll probably turn it into Nativeโ€™s day and give the day off for Indians.

2018-01-24 04:02:10 UTC

they're trying to do that

2018-01-24 04:02:14 UTC

Luckily there are no Indians in my area

2018-01-24 04:02:22 UTC

doesn't matter

2018-01-24 04:02:26 UTC

they'll still go at it

2018-01-24 04:02:30 UTC

Of course

2018-01-24 04:03:21 UTC

that's really one of the things that got me woken to this system, all the things I enjoyed as a child they're trying to rip apart at the seams

2018-01-24 04:03:32 UTC

My Area Consists Of Irish, Italians, Croatians, Blacks, Slovenians, A few Mexicans (none of the spic type), Hungarians, And Scandinavians.

2018-01-24 04:03:44 UTC

fun isn't allowed, your national holidays are racist, give up your country

2018-01-24 04:03:54 UTC

it pushes you to the tipping point

2018-01-24 04:03:59 UTC

Of course

2018-01-24 04:04:41 UTC

My teacher is Slovenian, and she went To Yugoslavia when it was Under Tito in the 70s

2018-01-24 04:05:01 UTC

what the fuck do a few dozen million loose tribes who war with each other have a claim to an entire continent anyways

2018-01-24 04:05:12 UTC

I donโ€™t know man

2018-01-24 04:05:35 UTC

they lost, that's it

2018-01-24 04:05:45 UTC

They give MLK day off but not Columbus Day

2018-01-24 04:06:15 UTC

this is the thing

2018-01-24 04:07:00 UTC

Iโ€™ve had thoughts about saving the White people of South Africa from Genocide when I grow up

2018-01-24 04:07:39 UTC

they had no laws
they weren't even friends with each other

2018-01-24 04:07:49 UTC

Of course

2018-01-24 04:08:07 UTC

I don't know how that makes them a nation whatsoever

2018-01-24 04:08:12 UTC

Blacks are still living in the same houses they were under Apartheid

2018-01-24 04:08:42 UTC

At least Apartheid kept things under control and was Conservative and Anti-Communist.

2018-01-24 04:08:53 UTC

What happened to SA/Rhodesia was a disaster

2018-01-24 04:09:07 UTC

Of course.

2018-01-24 04:09:12 UTC

Mughabe is a Dictator

2018-01-24 04:09:19 UTC

And Mandela was a communist

2018-01-24 04:09:27 UTC

They actually got rid of Mugabe

2018-01-24 04:09:45 UTC

The new guy's been trying to get white farmers to return to Zimbabwe

2018-01-24 04:09:48 UTC

Yeah thatโ€™s good, at least they are trying to get things back together

2018-01-24 04:10:14 UTC

But Mister Tariq โ€œwe wuz Kangsโ€ Nasheed thinks that Zimbabwe will become Rhodesia 2.0

2018-01-24 04:10:39 UTC

It's just so sad, you see all these picture of this land in the '70s and it looks exactly like the US

2018-01-24 04:10:47 UTC

It looked 1st world

2018-01-24 04:10:59 UTC

It did

2018-01-24 04:11:18 UTC

Boers and Whites And Black living together, even with racism

2018-01-24 04:11:30 UTC

Conservatism

2018-01-24 04:11:33 UTC

No communism

2018-01-24 04:11:52 UTC

The racism stuff I just don't think the blacks who lived through that even really care about

2018-01-24 04:12:11 UTC

They had at least some sort of mutual deal it seemed

2018-01-24 04:12:49 UTC

The UN just had to go in and screw everyone over with this "african nationalist" bullshit

2018-01-24 04:13:11 UTC

People Like Ian Smith and the Presidents Of South Africa (before Mandela) werenโ€™t racist, they just wanted to keep things civil

2018-01-24 04:14:11 UTC

It's just a natural order is the thing, it sounds sick, but these countries are completely mismanaged when the africans are given complete power

2018-01-24 04:14:46 UTC

Yes. Itโ€™s racist but these people have no concept of Governing themselves.

2018-01-24 04:14:59 UTC

It's just got so many resources, and all of it squandered

2018-01-24 04:15:28 UTC

Examples like Rhodesia are why I don't buy into that magic dirt Jared Diamond bullshit

2018-01-24 04:15:48 UTC

Ever heard of the Movie Zulu?

2018-01-24 04:15:55 UTC

These places have potential, anywhere does with the right people

2018-01-24 04:16:12 UTC

haven't actually, is it about the anglo-zulu war

2018-01-24 04:16:24 UTC

Yes

2018-01-24 04:16:51 UTC

Tariq Nasheed almost certainly doesn't believe the bullshit he peddles

2018-01-24 04:16:52 UTC

sounds fun

2018-01-24 04:17:22 UTC

Hereโ€™s a poster of it, something you would never see in Hollywood these days

2018-01-24 04:17:28 UTC

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/405576817588568074/image.png

2018-01-24 04:17:30 UTC

He's a former PUA. As someone active in the PUA community here in NYC, I know a thing or two about frame control

2018-01-24 04:17:47 UTC

Tariq knows how to maintain frame

2018-01-24 04:17:58 UTC

he ends up saying incredibly dumb shit

2018-01-24 04:18:12 UTC

but if you say it with conviction, you'll get followers

2018-01-24 04:18:25 UTC

When the white farmers started to return to Zimbabwe, that guy was bitching and all that, he's either playing stupid or is so fucking blind he can't see the truth right in front of his nose.

2018-01-24 04:19:50 UTC

I know. Just look at how stupid his tweet is

2018-01-24 04:19:53 UTC

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/405577422940143617/image.png

2018-01-24 04:20:57 UTC

he's just got to make the realization, or some of his followers, someone, that the africans probably fucking want Rhodesia 2.0

2018-01-24 04:21:32 UTC

it isn't about representation, it's about competence

2018-01-24 04:22:38 UTC

at some point, ideals stop mattering and you just need to put food in your mouth

2018-01-24 04:23:02 UTC

Tariq knows he's BSing

2018-01-24 04:23:08 UTC

He's doing it for the shekels

2018-01-24 04:23:17 UTC

wouldn't doubt that

2018-01-24 04:23:26 UTC

As a PUA I know I'd make for a pretty great shill if I wanted to

2018-01-24 04:24:00 UTC

BTW guys, look up Chateau Heartiste

2018-01-24 04:24:12 UTC

pick up artist?

2018-01-24 04:24:26 UTC

learning the truth about women is important especially in this day and age

2018-01-24 04:24:28 UTC

Yeah

2018-01-24 04:24:41 UTC

Jewish chicks are my specialty

2018-01-24 04:25:01 UTC

is there a tactic to evangelize them or something

2018-01-24 04:25:20 UTC

no one specific tactic

2018-01-24 04:25:23 UTC

make em say "I accept the lord Jesus Christ" in bed or something

2018-01-24 04:25:38 UTC

It's about understanding how women and human beings in general work

2018-01-24 04:25:48 UTC

and applying that understanding

2018-01-24 04:26:03 UTC

it's not about memorizing a bunch of tricks or lines

2018-01-24 04:26:06 UTC

so like a sort of psychology right

2018-01-24 04:27:14 UTC

it's essentially applied psychology

2018-01-24 04:27:27 UTC

it's to psychology what engineering is to physics

2018-01-24 04:27:44 UTC

it's an interesting concept

2018-01-24 04:27:48 UTC

it's like marketing and sales, but for women rather than money

2018-01-24 04:29:16 UTC

look up this guy too

2018-01-24 04:31:05 UTC

Anyways, what were we saying before, public schools and africa right?

2018-01-24 04:32:22 UTC

The public school subjects just make you want to tear your hair out once you get in the right

2018-01-24 04:33:12 UTC

I was an AP student, so I took one of these courses, it was called AP Human Geography, back in freshman year.

2018-01-24 04:33:18 UTC

Ever heard of it

2018-01-24 04:33:52 UTC

It's basically leftist indocrination: the class

2018-01-24 04:35:03 UTC

at least Enlgish pretends it's a class about "analysis" and literature, but this class just goes right into it

2018-01-24 04:35:11 UTC

"immigration is good"

2018-01-24 04:36:17 UTC

and I remember back when I was getting a bit of a start in the right as I noticed that society wasn't very stable and I realized this is the first AP course you take.

2018-01-24 04:36:50 UTC

Not economics, not math, not any of that, but AP human geography, I learned absolutely nothing of value in that course.

2018-01-24 04:37:27 UTC

I probably have gotten more useful information at the lunch period

I hope the education system is getting people to realize how bullshit it is like I had

2018-01-24 04:38:20 UTC

That's one explanation for Gen Z I think

2018-01-24 04:38:54 UTC

You put a walnut in a vice and squeeze long enough, and eventually there's a crack.

2018-01-24 04:47:33 UTC

Welp, goodnight everyone

2018-01-24 04:47:46 UTC

2018-01-24 04:48:09 UTC

hey

What do the numbers mean

2018-01-24 13:54:31 UTC

I have an idea

2018-01-24 13:54:51 UTC

Create an info graphic for each special election that has the format of

2018-01-24 13:55:52 UTC

"if x% of people who voted for Trump in 2016 voted in (special election), the Republican would have won"

2018-01-24 13:59:31 UTC

E.G

2018-01-24 14:00:19 UTC

if 79.6% of people who voted for Trump voted for the Republican candidate Gillespie, he would have won

2018-01-24 14:45:06 UTC

But Gillespie was a Establishment shill. That was the problem.

2018-01-24 14:45:31 UTC

true

2018-01-24 14:45:36 UTC

that's why many Trump voters didn't vote for him

2018-01-24 14:45:42 UTC

still better than Northam though

2018-01-24 14:45:56 UTC

Gillespie distanced himself from Trump, and blamed Trump when he lost

2018-01-24 14:46:03 UTC

he campaigned with George W. Bush

2018-01-24 14:46:06 UTC

Of course. Northern Virginia has way too much power over The whole state.

2018-01-24 14:46:12 UTC

yep

2018-01-24 14:46:21 UTC

it's closer to safe blue than purple at this point

2018-01-24 14:46:31 UTC

If Virginia and West Virginia reunited, the state would be more red

2018-01-24 14:46:40 UTC

haha, it definitely would

2018-01-24 14:46:47 UTC

it would be more competitive

2018-01-24 14:46:52 UTC

I think it would have gone red in 2016

2018-01-24 14:47:33 UTC

West Virginia only elected Democrats because this was during the time that the Democrats pretended they cared about the little man and Were in support of Coak

2018-01-24 14:47:36 UTC

Coal

2018-01-24 14:47:40 UTC

indeed

2018-01-24 14:47:56 UTC

much of the south elected Democrats to local office until relatively recently

2018-01-24 14:48:10 UTC

it was a remnant of the time when it was known as the "Solid South"

2018-01-24 14:48:26 UTC

Ohio was for many years purple. But I think Ted Strickland changed that.

2018-01-24 14:48:49 UTC

that's the election between the Republican (Theodore Roosevelt) vs his Democratic opponent, Alton Parker

2018-01-24 14:49:01 UTC

it was a landslide in terms of popular vote

2018-01-24 14:49:18 UTC

but the south was still solidly Democratic, except for Missouri, which went over to the GOP

2018-01-24 14:49:35 UTC

Ohio always goes red or blue

2018-01-24 14:49:41 UTC

But I think it will go Red

2018-01-24 14:50:09 UTC

Ohio is the opposite of Virginia in that it's a purple state trending safe red

2018-01-24 14:50:27 UTC

I think that had to do with Ted Strickland

2018-01-24 14:50:34 UTC

He was a really shitty governor
