I live in NJ. The coasts are generally shitholes by city IMO. But even NJ has pockets of nice communities.

Hey, we got Corey Booker! He's doing *so much* for Newark here.

Interesting to join the states though. Welcome. I always love that Europeans seem to know more than most of us do about our own politics.

Best of luck.

Also I'm totally new to the server -- long time listener and knew of the discord but kept forgetting to join

so hello!

I'm interested in that -- what makes you feel that way? I've had friends in bands joke when they tour Norwegian countries that they have to buy $30 cheeseburgers

But that's off the cuff conversation, I don't know exchange rates and whatnot

I guess I'm not attuned to what makes euro countries less desirable, other than the EU

Ooof

Yeah SPLC abd ADL are bunk

It's really disconcerting if I look at my Twitter which has lots of far left friends how we live in bubbles

Like they just have an entirely different narrative and reality

Hard to come to any reasonable compromise when you're going off entirely different stories

But honestly that's the point.. divisiveness only aids our elite overlords

While we bicker over gender pronouns

Facts have become a relative measurement. Everything is 'facts'

Yeah well he's a Zionist scumbag.

Even tucker has prasied a lot of Elizabeth Warren's policies when it comes to anti corporate stuff. There's more in common with populist right wing and the left than people care to realize.

Yeah. The whole party has gone insane.

I was a Bernie dude back in 2016

He's sold out so hard

Trump is a disappointment but certainly better than the other options. Although I wouldn't lose my shit if Tulsi became president even though I don't like most of her policies

Not that she would ever make it 😂

It's sad. I expected them to regroup after the Clinton loss

Just doubled down on insanity

Their best shot is another Obama with practically no experience or record that they push in as a Manchurian candidate

yes, but you call from discord.. results may vary

Yeah, I teach today and commute all day so no go

why do values that demonstrate success not proliferate? good question...

considering we're only here because our ancestors did something right, whatever that may be

ah shit @JWille, I'm not even a son of the revolution. Polish and irish immigrants, and on one side a great great grandfather fought against the revolution. I'm somewhat proud. Monarchies are kind of dope.

^

uhhh the stuarts 😄

I say this in jest

I will say that the dissolution of ancestry is a problem for modern society in general

especially for anglos, who seem to care much less than other heritages

that's pretty sick

hell yeah

our space stations have wifi

I'm pretty sure

lol

idk blonde is pretty based to me

but not in the loop for pretty much all memes or trends

boomer to me brings to mind neo-con shit, the destruction of the family via gratuitous sex and partying, going into massive debt buying houses you can't afford, etc

I'm inclined to agree. I prefer going in hard and correcting to pussy footing around

I don't mind the reactionary takes

I'm glad Matt is grounded but the hot takes spice it up

I'd further that by saying that preventing any real communities is the goal of elites.

whether that is ancestral, religious, etc

it's harder to organize if most of us don't have any common values in our neighborhoods, unless you're lucky enough to live somewhat rural

wtf double post

define KGB'd hard -- I read a book on the history of the FBI which was pretty gnarly once

but I'm not sure what you're getting at

okay haha

well if you go full tin-foil, most pop culture from 60s to 80's was CIA-backed

without going into the weeds, you can find a CIA connection with LOTS of rock bands

@Beemann I'd like to read about that, the canada defect

that sounds very interesting

anything that happens abroad likely happens here in some capacity

going to be forward -- i'm straight dissident right and love BAP, moldbug, landry, and practically anything over on that end. But I came from far left years ago.

so take anything I say with a grain of salt

I enjoy matt, tim pool, and other content creators as a way to ground myself a bit, but i'm generally not very grounded

ah my parents were conservative as fuck, and I reacted by going far left

it started with some even further left friends telling me to get out of my tower of white privilege years ago, found the usual suspects like Rubin, went into the rabbit hole of alt right shit, and i'm floating around that and centrism

core values? I'm mostly concerned with the same things most people are here I think.

I'm not religious though, although I find Blonde trying catholicism inspiring. I think the catholic church is kind of fucked though right now

That's probably true Beemann.

exactly

I was a bernie bro

then I found `economics`

The way I'd describe the experience was when Trump won, the curtains came down, and everything immediately sucked. Every leftist show sucked. Comedy sucked.

Yeah, I used to like Caplan, but I can't accept a libertarian reason for open borders.

open borders benefit corportations.

corporations*

that's a coming from the left opinion

but I think it's a good sell point for the other side

endless cheap labor, no need to make building a family affordable in any regard here

just import more people

the smarter leftist point would probably be something like emissions are outsourced to china

chet, what is vox day?

haha, really

sold, will look into it

not that I will agree, but I enjoy it

y'all ever read the american sun?

I feel like flannagan would approve

it's a dissident right site. the editing is a bit lackluster.

but some of it is quite good

very populist

it's an offshoot of counter-currents before it was doxxed into oblivion

hey blonde, groypers are dope

watching charlie kirk get annihilated was one of the most entertaining parts of my week

yeah.. that one is a bit more sad

I gave him a pass when he was on Rogan

but this week was pretty `oof`

he was big boss

LOL

no free speech for criticism of israel... ok

never go incel, go GYMcel.
