so not quite a year i guess

2018-11-30 03:06:13 UTC

Honestly the opiod crisis is GOPe kryptonite - men out of the job medicate to death aka corporate migration kills white men and consequently profits big pharma, don't expect any traction there in mainstream politics essentially only we can fight it metapolitically

2018-11-30 03:06:13 UTC

In 2016 white people were dying faster than being born in 26 states. I don't want to imagine what it was in 2017 with this report.

2018-11-30 03:09:22 UTC

I swear everything goin on is just one grand scheme to replace us

2018-11-30 03:09:35 UTC

Ya think?

2018-11-30 03:09:55 UTC

what is the percentage that is white of these opiod deaths

2018-11-30 03:10:06 UTC
2018-11-30 03:10:11 UTC

Another thing we have to come to terms with is the demographic winter of Evropean Americans, while depressing in numbers the fact is this selective pressure can -hypothetically- serve us quite well, the diseased, degenerate, and pathologocally altruistic have no contribution to the Evropean future, we'll be much stronger once we win

2018-11-30 03:11:12 UTC

@metasophocles I don't think this is eugenic. Many smart and cultured people can experience depression.

2018-11-30 03:11:32 UTC

Of course you said hypothetically, but still.

2018-11-30 03:12:35 UTC

@metasophocles no dude these are probably a lot of the people we *don't* want dying

2018-11-30 03:12:53 UTC

@Hakujin - CA hate to be bother, but do you have that source

2018-11-30 03:12:55 UTC

If anything, we want cosmopolitan urbanites out of the gene pool

2018-11-30 03:13:55 UTC

Well...degenerate produced super bugs will probably sort that out...

2018-11-30 03:14:13 UTC

We need all the whites we can get. Urban vs Rural is another way for us to be kept dived

2018-11-30 03:15:13 UTC

@Nutter Butter I said "if anything"

2018-11-30 03:16:26 UTC

Plus letโ€™s think about how many blue collar White folks got overprescribed these devil pills by some Jdoc after a work-related injury and is now a depressed addict. That White dude doesnโ€™t deserve some eugenic fate

2018-11-30 03:28:22 UTC

many doctors, even rural, Are Chinese or Subcon

2018-11-30 03:28:41 UTC

at least in my area many more parents than Jewish doctors.

2018-11-30 03:46:55 UTC

Needs a sign that says "not trash"

2018-11-30 03:47:13 UTC

yeah, i was laffin

2018-11-30 03:49:53 UTC

I would love to see what your could actually hide in an art gallery, like actual bags of rancid garbage with "art" written on it

2018-11-30 03:50:20 UTC

Oh shit, I knew I left my collection of 37 melted extra large candles somewhere!

2018-11-30 03:50:24 UTC

Thanks @godric

2018-11-30 03:50:48 UTC

not trash: recyclable

2018-11-30 03:50:57 UTC

I went to the Chicago museum of art and it was full of this garbage.

2018-11-30 03:52:00 UTC

@godric exactly. Recycled into a frame for something I could draw with my feet would be far better.

2018-11-30 03:53:40 UTC

If an "artist" can't produce photorealism with a brush and canvas they should be flogged with a cat of nine tails - figuratively- and banished to mining colonies

2018-11-30 03:54:10 UTC

I am not opposed to impressionism or even abstract art, but this shit is retarded.

2018-11-30 03:54:52 UTC

Underlying understanding and mastery of skill is necessary to express ideas beyond the bounds of it, in my humble estimation

2018-11-30 03:55:00 UTC

@metasophocles so many art students I've met can't draw a hand or basic facial features.

2018-11-30 03:56:49 UTC

@metasophocles in 99.9% of cases I agree. I think the filmmaker Mdotstrange did a lot of good stuff, even though he is not particularly technically skilled though.

2018-11-30 03:57:00 UTC

it's tragic to look at what was produced all through the reniessance to now. And how sort of a time it took.

2018-11-30 03:57:18 UTC

Short*

2018-11-30 03:58:49 UTC

The funny thing is how many people openly agree from all walks of life that modern art is hideous trash, while anyone can enjoy and be taken in by the beauty of a gothic cathedral, or renaissance art

2018-11-30 03:59:19 UTC

Beauty is the natural order, we know how to express it

2018-11-30 03:59:23 UTC

bioleninism man

2018-11-30 03:59:35 UTC

ugly people project ugliness onto everything

2018-11-30 04:00:03 UTC

but I would never call a whole group of people ugly; everyone is beautiful. you are beautiful. love yourself.

2018-11-30 04:00:04 UTC

Beyonce's music video for the apt named "Apesh*t" is a good example of most people's position on Europeans.

2018-11-30 04:00:23 UTC

Sadly I heard that modern art was a Pozed project of le CIA in reaction to socialist realism

2018-11-30 04:00:43 UTC

What is socialist realism?

2018-11-30 04:00:55 UTC

Traditional soviet artworks meant for mass inspiration

2018-11-30 04:00:56 UTC

@godric everyone should enjoy what is natural to them, precisely.

2018-11-30 04:01:03 UTC

It was actually terrifically beautiful

2018-11-30 04:01:53 UTC

I think of the usual blocky stuff when I think of soviet propaganda. I didn't know they had a realist style.

2018-11-30 04:02:05 UTC

@metasophocles wasn't there a thing about JBP owning this art in some photo shoot?

2018-11-30 04:02:21 UTC

Let me try an find an example

2018-11-30 04:02:52 UTC

@PatrickAZ I am not sure

2018-11-30 04:04:58 UTC

This is an example that comes to mind

2018-11-30 04:06:39 UTC

how pleasant

2018-11-30 04:06:46 UTC

JBP, for all his flaws, does wink just enough to entice the person already looking that direction.

2018-11-30 04:07:38 UTC

Indeed he has alot to offer a mind that has nuance

2018-11-30 04:08:03 UTC

@metasophocles who paint?

2018-11-30 04:08:16 UTC

I did make the mistake of seeing him speak.

2018-11-30 04:08:30 UTC

@metasophocles Sadly the art was more state mandated to achieve the illusion of the USSR being a Utopia to outsiders... On the inside, however it was of course a different story.

2018-11-30 04:08:35 UTC

I think the creator is the name on the jpg line

2018-11-30 04:09:09 UTC

Well I am certainly not marxist, but art as a tool of inspiration to the ideal is not necessarily a bad model @The Eternal Anglo

2018-11-30 04:09:11 UTC

2018-11-30 04:10:30 UTC

2018-11-30 04:11:31 UTC

Meh, mid 50s on they really went Russian nationalist in opposition to early leninist ideology

2018-11-30 04:11:55 UTC

Look what the west did to western Evrope

2018-11-30 04:12:34 UTC

Like I said I am definitely not a marxist, but I can see the benefits of other thought systems

2018-11-30 04:12:49 UTC

I'll be honest, his stuff doesn't blow me away. I like impressionism and he's clearly inspired by it despite not being part of it

2018-11-30 04:12:56 UTC

doesn't speak to me, personally.

2018-11-30 04:13:49 UTC

@metasophocles bruh, you can like cultural nuggets without agreeing with the society's ultimate position or ideology.

2018-11-30 04:14:21 UTC

Both the soviet anthem and "brave nasheed" are absolute bangers.

2018-11-30 04:14:25 UTC

There are painters and particularly certain sculptors, unfortunately associated with failed regimes of the early 20th century that I admire deeply but thats not a conversation for gentlemanly IE discord

2018-11-30 04:14:38 UTC

2018-11-30 04:15:30 UTC

This is a painter that I am really into

2018-11-30 04:16:22 UTC

an American contemporary painter who reminds me of a Rockwell that is not staged or forcing social statements (for good or ill) into his work

David Graeme Baker. Born in South Africa, but grew up in PA.

2018-11-30 04:18:44 UTC

Was saddened to learn that his works are going for tens of thousands of dollars now.

2018-11-30 04:18:59 UTC

Prints are available to the common man

2018-11-30 04:19:38 UTC

I want to reach the point where purchasing originals are more or less inconsequential.

2018-11-30 04:19:47 UTC

Not positive he sells prints either.

2018-11-30 04:20:40 UTC

What would be painted now? It would be too painful in many modes. The 40's and 50's was an idyllic setting in time to some.

2018-11-30 04:21:02 UTC

I posted this last night. My favorite painting of his.

2018-11-30 04:23:42 UTC

But it's calling back to something. Not current era. This is true. I guess I am speaking more towards what the current modes of life are for whites.

Big fan of this stuff. Thomas Cole in particular.

2018-11-30 04:27:13 UTC

I feel like just making Rockwell style paintings is a social statement in and of itself today. Sort of like how I notice with surprise when an ad actually portrays a happy white family

2018-11-30 04:33:32 UTC

As far as modern art is concerned, Italian Futurism is cool. It arose in the early 20th century out of a sense that Italian culture was seen as something that happened in the past. Italian Futurism was thus a way for young Italians to shock their country out of what they viewed as deep cultural stagnation.

Tasteful Italian futurism feels like a spiritual cousin of Art Deco.

2018-11-30 04:37:34 UTC

Futurism came first

2018-11-30 04:37:43 UTC

@Virgil Gross.

2018-11-30 04:38:01 UTC

Futurist architecture taken to the extreme

2018-11-30 04:38:05 UTC

Very much so, that would make sense that the architecture followed

2018-11-30 04:38:27 UTC

@Virgil have you ever squeezed cheese out of something with holes in it?

2018-11-30 04:38:41 UTC

Some of the examples I'm looking at of IT futurism are really indulgent and gross.

2018-11-30 04:38:48 UTC

I always liked the landscape and nature prints at Cabellas

2018-11-30 04:38:53 UTC

There are also some stunning examples.

2018-11-30 04:38:57 UTC

Weird school.

2018-11-30 04:39:09 UTC

Romantic art produced much more elegant architecture or at least paired. That's something you really don't see in modern art.

2018-11-30 04:40:39 UTC

Goodnight all.

2018-11-30 04:40:39 UTC

Or I guess you do. Degeneracy produces garbage like melted candles or cut up plastic bottles painted yellow being a center piece for a "gallery".

2018-11-30 04:40:39 UTC

Futurist architecture always felt like Space Rome. It had a bit of influence in the uh...goverments of Italy to follow

2018-11-30 04:40:57 UTC

That...is a tasteful example.

2018-11-30 04:40:58 UTC

To be fair at least they are trying to do something different, this right here is the epitome of modern utilitarian architecture

2018-11-30 04:42:02 UTC

Interestingly enough, the best surviving examples of Italian furturism in archetecture are actually in Ethiopia, having been built after it's anexation. Most of what was in Italy was bombed or deconstructed later

@metasophocles @godric Soviets were masters at creating inspirational art as propaganda. Just listen to the Soviet anthem. It's an amazing work of music.

2018-11-30 04:44:17 UTC

2018-11-30 04:44:35 UTC

Space Rome is best aesthetic

2018-11-30 04:44:41 UTC

Most agreed, art as inspiration is probably is most vital use, being leveraged by a state is essential

2018-11-30 04:44:50 UTC

Why did we stop building beautiful things?

2018-11-30 04:45:24 UTC

@Jacob I agree that it is masterfully composed but to be honest I associate it so much with the communist losers I knew from high school that it's hard for me to enjoy.

2018-11-30 04:45:32 UTC

@Ben Rainsford - OH its expensive and doesnt require rebuilding in 15 years

2018-11-30 04:46:17 UTC

2018-11-30 04:46:24 UTC

Classical or the futurism being posted architecture isn't even expensive when you compare it to garbage modernist architecture that plagues our cities.

2018-11-30 04:46:45 UTC

@metasophocles Dude I agree with you. The final redpill is that every side in politics exaggerates how horrible their enemies are.

There were absolutely good parts about the Soviet Union, even if Stalin and his buddies were pretty bad guys.

2018-11-30 04:47:43 UTC

@godric That's understandable

2018-11-30 04:47:44 UTC

I don't get how people reconcile that the soviet union was a totalitarian hellscape where everyone starved with the fact that they decimated half their continent and went to space.

2018-11-30 04:48:06 UTC

this is a stock photo but you still the idea of the glory of mighty italian futurism

2018-11-30 04:48:13 UTC

lol the idea that everyone was starving in the Soviet Union is absurd

2018-11-30 04:48:37 UTC

German scientists sure helped getting the Soviets to space

2018-11-30 04:48:55 UTC

@Kingfish I am starting to think it doesn't translate as well into real life as I thought.

2018-11-30 04:49:01 UTC

Same with the US though

2018-11-30 04:49:09 UTC

If we're going full theoretical architecture, I really liked the various culture's aesthetics in Lord of the Rings, they were all different fusions/remixes of different European cultures.

It was an inefficient distribution system, but we can see that a healthy economy is not the end all be all of a healthy civilization

Unfortunately very little Numenorean archietecture survived the end of the Second Age. Even in Minas Tirith, only the black wall is auhentically Numenorean, with the rest of the city being constructed or rebuilt by Gondorean Kings durring the early third age.

The most intact survivng Numenorean structure in Middle Earth today is Isengard, recently given to the use of the benevelent Wizard, Saruman the Wise

One thing you guys need to remember is that much of the image of the Soviet Union is due to immigrants exaggerating for sympathy.

I grew up around Eastern European immigrants, I know this.

Immigrants from literally every country will try to convince you that their life was absolute hell.

Actual Eastern Europeans in Eastern Europe are more likely to give you an answer like, "eh, there was good parts and bad parts" while immigrants will go on about "waaa poor me".

2018-11-30 04:53:19 UTC

I'm not gonna try to tell you it was a first world paradise, but the idea that it was Africa tier starvation is insane.

2018-11-30 04:53:33 UTC

@Ben Rainsford - OH did we just become best friends

2018-11-30 04:54:21 UTC

anybody who posts Minas Tirith with an accurate outer wall is a friend of mine

2018-11-30 04:57:11 UTC

I wonder how many other dissident right groups have long conversations about European art styles. I'm willing to bet it's just us and GI

2018-11-30 04:57:18 UTC

And yet even the height of Numenor itself was a pale shadow compared to the bright but short-lived Noldor kingdoms, which themselves were echoes of the far West.

Tolkien was a true mid-century Anglo. He could not conceive of a cosmology and civilizational cycle that was not ultimately phases of decline.

Any you gents read the wheel of time or lionessa yet?

@Kingfish No, I have too many books I haven't read already.

2018-11-30 04:59:54 UTC

I have the first WOT book

2018-11-30 04:59:58 UTC

havent gotten very far

@Kingfish I would read the Sill every Christmas from ninth grade to sophomore of College. Should give it a look again.

The first 3 wheel of time books are great after that the author loses focus and its angry aes sedai women glaring at each other and rand slowly going insane for book after book, punctuated with a few really cool events.

@godric I have seen Blind Guardian live at least 3 times in Denver 10/10 great shows

2018-11-30 05:02:22 UTC
