A lot of it is probably just social pressure, honestly

I'm not sure how many of these people really think it through

There is some truth to the NPC meme

Here is a song by the great Mose Allison that could be an anthem for us. Relaxed and with eyes wide open. I saw this guy live in 1972, which was just about when this song was current on the radio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJJAd5wDpDY

Hahaha this is great: https://youtu.be/Chue0bPORuU

You know I don't worry bout a thing because nothin's going to be all right.

Playing Sinatra earlier made me think of this article about a movie Frank was in in 1945. Shows the beginnings of our current problem with diversity messages in mass media. This stuff was even happening back then https://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/house-sinatra-lived/

@VinceChaos Excellent point. In the war movies back then every unit was composed of all the ethnics that had immigrated in the previous century. "We're all Americans here." Which we weren't even then.

I just remembered something. The lady interviewer Patrick was talking about, I talked to her. at the end of our chat, I mentioned that "Its so good we have people in the media who are on our side, like you"

and today, that came true

And then in the 50s there was a spate of movies about noble, morally-superior Blacks. I remember as a kid seeing these things on TV in the 60s and knowing as a matter of fact that they had got it all wrong.

Wrong on purpose of course.

@Nemets The movie or the book?

@Nemets Hollywood has been the greatest carrier of the Leftist pathology. No doubt. As soon as the New Left began going mainstream, Hollywood decided it was totally safe to demonize Whites. Hollywood is the rectum of the world.

Now here's an interesting song. When I was a kid, my parents owned this album. It came out in 1958. As a kid I liked it. Now I see that the song is absolutely disgusting. It glorifies the "beautiful loser" and the "Rebel without a Cause." But the performance is totally old school. I have very powerful mixed feelings about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6MG2abVe6g

Yes! IE song!

We need more songs to sing, for real

Really do have to go now, dinner is getting cold haha. Have fun guys

@greg_p - TX Mighty White of you buddy.

I decided to contact the media about my stickers, and these were the responses I got

lmao this reporter trying to dox me

I should give the wrong intersection to waste their time

wow, chad is not so chad

@NateDahl76 Dammit Nate, I was just about to post that exact same thing.

Now I truly love the great Norman Blake. Georgia's own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Krey-_0-TA

@Nemets Materialist decadence. Revisionist Backsliding. Hedonist self-indulgence. Very pretty though. It makes me yearn for my very own misspent youth.

Here's an innovative White man with a creative idea about activism. "Hey, what happened bro?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX9wHZSRTl0

We respec wamen

@Nemets Just kidding. I loved that video. It just goes to show you. We are all to some degree torn between the current madness and what used to be and what could be again. You have to admit though that the video about the Stun Gun Bike Seat is extremely inspiring.

I've heard about this NPC controversy, but what does NPC stand for? From what I know about it, NPC has my complete support. But NOBODY will spill what NPC stands for.

non-player character

god. get with the zoomer-lingo

*sip*

soiled it

@Salo Saloson Don't wag your finger at me young pup.

I'll be nice since I will someday ask for you on graphic design advice

_for now_

it refers to AI's in video games that are incredibly simplistic and predictable @OMGDwayne

ironically, the NPC meme came from a study that people thought meant 70% of the population didn't have an internal monologue

Non-Player Character. Like in gaming? A hapless civilian just drifting by while the Battle Tanks dig in to destroy the lovely city?

sounds about right

yeet

or like the one npc who only has 3 lines ever

patrick casey is an alleged NPC

reliable sources are reporting

I have heard him repeat certain tropes before in firesides... 🤔

@Salo Saloson Yes, I've been in graphic design for 35 years. I worked for newspapers for most of that time. They sent me out into the howling wilderness in 2014. Imagine my relief. So I'm retired and doing freelance. Living way, way out in the country.

<:nervous:359009898115104770>

I usually have one going on, ruminating away

I only touch art because I figure us filthy right wingers need it

my head never shuts up

and because the avant garde is how I got into art

@Koba EXCUSE ME

@Nemets I have a very, very strong internal monologue. It's one of my favorite things. It is supplemented by my almost obsessive reading. I've recently discovered Counter Currents. That is a beautiful place.

don't need a coordinator if there's nothing to coordinate yet

hey tide

👋

@Nemets honestly it's like another person in your head is talking to you, but it's you, holding a conversation, with yourself. uhm

lol

@Salo Saloson In 1987 I took Amtrak to Philadelphia to participate in the 100th birthday celebration of that arch conman Marcel Duchamp. I enjoyed myself immensely. I had an elderly uncle living there, and I took him along one day to see the Duchamp exhibit. He looked at it thoughtfully, and asked (like you would ask a question of a moron), "Do you have any friends who share your interest in this bullshit?" I agreed with him then, and I agree with him now. But it was a LOT of fun.

@Nemets well, it's not like I'm saying, "hey how are you?" I'm just talking about things... and there's usually another part of my brain controlling the music in the background

@Nemets Everybody has an internal monologue. Some people don't see it that way, but all it is is a debate with yourself about what is right and what is wrong. No one can escape that resposibility.

do you hear a voice when you read?

And I must admit that a lot of my internal monologue is about how I would do things different. I have many, many regrets. My brother has told me he feels the same way. Sometimes we sit around talking about all the shitty things we did. It's funny, but we seriously regret many things.

Assuming @Nemets is anything other than a hyper advanced AI capable of fooling even the most thorough of Turing tests.

<:galaxybrain:366743669484683264>

if so we should be fearful

both

@Deleted User When I read I hear the voices of the characters and/or the narrator. It's a little jarring when the movie version comes out and it's different.

if I feel somethings off, It doesn't need to manifest in words really.

its like an overlay to general feeling?

I guess

I imagine it must be hard to grasp

@Deleted User Something in our lives is always "off" I think. Of course the present situation in the West is so "off" that only a complete idiot is unaffected.

7 hour >nap

gg

@OMGDwayne I think ones ability to recognise the offness is directly correlated with their happiness

>tfw voice chat is comfy but you have nothing to add

or maybe I have it wrong... It's kind of like the thing where the more intelligent people are the more likely to be depressed?

Come on fellas. Surely when you wander through life you have thoughts crowding in that must be categorized, judged, and either acted on or not. And there are those thoughts that are simply entertainment. I sometimes try to imagine what my illustrious ancestor, Archibald Burden, must have experienced when he came down the Great Wagon Road from Virginia to Georgia in 1787. With his wife and six children. And then in Georgia they had three more children in the howling wilderness. Were they happy? Were they proud of themselves. It's hard to glean from the old letters and occasional newspaper articles. They were super determined though, and they had plenty of work to keep them busy.

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN lol

funny how people were just listening

Oh yeah my mind runs 100miles an hour. I am incapable of meditation. Modes are "frantic autism" and "sleep"

I learn alot with open ears😉

Lord, make me an instrument of your will. Where there is injustice against my people may I bring right. Where there is error may I bring truth. Where my people despair may I bring hope. Grant that I may comfort my people rather than to be comforted - to serve them rather than to be served. For it is by putting the needs of my people before my own that I may best serve to secure the existence of my race and a future for White children. Good night, and peace be with you.

@NateDahl76 Yeah, it was nice, not gonna lie

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN I'm definitely an Aspergers case. It hasn't hurt me too much, but there have been the occasional disasters. My wife taunts me about this.

Good stuff. I'm really interested in getting this women's stuff rolling solidly, would be great for IE

I am very excited for Denver, hoping to meet friends I will have for years or life.

@OMGDwayne You are just big brained like the rest of us!

wish I could be there with you guys, make us all proud

Yeah I wish I could. positive i'll be able to go to the conference though

@NateDahl76 Yeah I would totally support Femininity Evropa Twitter account. And it is kind of a meme but Lauren Rose has expressed normal person ethnonational sentiment.

again, why isn't she in IE

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN I don't nothin' bout no big brains. I see some space fellers with some pretty big heads though. They like southern BBQ, but they suck it in through some kind of snout that comes outta their ugly faces. Good guys though.

Aliens are future soy boys: change my mind

yup, definitely on the spectrum @OMGDwayne
