Hi, I'm Josh. I was recommended by Tyler Durden. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and the organization.

Things like phones are seen as status symbols as well.

Like new Nikes or expensive handbags

Also Hi, I'm new here

Status symbols for the poor are things like phones, TVs, brand name clothes, and even food. They cant afford a mortgage or reliable vehicles but they can eat like a king at Golden Corral with their new Nikes on and post about it to Instagram from their iPhone.

Everyone has had it beat into them that these things are important from the day mom plopped them in front of the TV.

If you're poor and life sucks but an iPhone makes you happy it's a difficult temptation to resist.

Yup. And when tax time comes they got a car with some expensive wheels until the repo man comes.

Lol yeah I've seen many vids like that.

@ThisIsChrishello

Thank you. Thanks for having me.

For a long time I've sat back and watched in horror and disgust as our country and the world slowly turned to crap. I decided to be proactive in changing that. Another member helped pushed me here specifically.

IE is pushing change in a way that I agree with.

@ThisIsChris I've read most so far. Working backwards.

Is anime popular here?

I really dont want Christie in government in any capacity. He's trash. I cant understand why he's even being considered.

Whittaker is awesome. Big meat head and smart. The kind of guy that makes a good role model.

Gowdy would be a good choice.

Christie is soiled by the bridge gate corruption and being a sleazy governor everyone hated. The guy kisses trump's ass and that's all it takes for him to get considered.

If Trump is considering Christie because he thinks he'll be loyal Trump is in for a rude awakening.

@Alexander Pechorinlol that's worse than ass kissing.

"Manservant"

Hey, Mr. President. Member that time I got you a big mac? Make me the new AG

Absolutely disgusting

I'm originally from New Jersey so I have a special hate for Christie.

The difficulty in deciding who are suitable immigration candidates really shows how much Americans have diverged from the original anglos.

I think the first immigrants were not typical anglos. Nor were the other peoples who followed.

@Alexander Pechorinit is and the US was populated by people with not just a certain nationality but a particular spirit to go along with it.

American founders were at least a different breed of Anglo. It took a lot to get on that boat. Much of the founding fathers views were against what was considered "anglo" at the time.

Faustian spirit

@Alexander Pechorintheres even more to it than that with evidence the people of European descent were the first to put feet on these lands.

@ophiuchusit wasn't easy turning these lands into what they are today. And in a short time.

This is why I think the answer lies less in where exactly the founding people came from and more they exhibited a particular European spirit.

If they didn't share an ideal they wouldn't be able to become cohesive as they have. An ideal that broke through national and even language barriers.

@Rabbidsithfirst we know of with a name.

@Aldtry to avoid neo paganism. It can get pretty out there.

There's arguments that buddhism was founded by ancient whites. Which is interesting.

@ophiuchusred hair, blue eyes, Indian. I guess they mean from India.

Only anime I've liked is Berserk

I nust finished watching The Shield again. It's really good.

@VinceChaostoo many subversive shows these days. Ruined TV for me.

It's not even hidden any longer. It's obvious blatant attempts at liberal brainwashing.

Trailer park boys is nothing without Lahey

Nty

The problem I see with learning a language is the lack of opportunity to use it. Unless it's spanish

@Alexander Pechorinare you ready for Chinese speaking Africans?

@Reinhard Wolffgotta be careful not to take the bait.

Does IE have a list of "officially" supported or recommended YouTube channels? Aside from RedIceTV of course.

Happy veterans day to all of the vets here.

Consider sending a care package to people overseas. They really do make a difference.

The uso was awesome to me before and on deployment.

Thanks for the support.

@Trashboatwhich branch?

I was USAF

Got a job in mind?

It's worth it.

They'll teach you and hopefully get you your certs

Incompetence or corruption.

If the Republicans stopped acting like cucks that would be great.

Looks great

I'm pretty jealous of Poland right now.

@ophiuchusmolymemes vids are mostly ok

Reddit used to be ok. Like 5 years ago

@VinceChaosto me a lot of the comes off as him trying to play the center. Which I understand. He has bills to pay and he's on YouTube. A hostile platform.

@ophiuchuslotta ppl got their red pill education there.

4chan proved the power of memes.

@Jacobthey have their own meme culture. It's closer to normie space so the memes move slower there.

Lol

Fashy haircuts are still cool though apparently

It's fine until it gets associated with being an alt right haircut.

Really, you should wear it however you want.

@ThisIsChrisbased and redpilled

@Jacobim not sure we have much of a choice in being anything other than ourselves. Fighting it is unhealthy

We can better ourselves though. But identity feels more like finding than crafting.

Shampoo ain't that expensive. Even the fancy stuff

Find one that smells good and doesn't dry your scalp out.

I think many refers to smells but insecure men take it too far sometimes

Selling stuff directed at women makes corp.s HUGE money so why not men?

It's for......normies

Razors the same. This is literally the marketing argument.

Only difference is fragrances.

You could just compare ingredients listed on the bottle

Lol testing shampoo on animals. I just imagine people giving dogs baths all day. Blow drying. The works. It isn't cruel how I imagine it.

Oh

Well. That's a complicated thing.

Blind rabbits or blind kids?

Its difficult to balance.

Hipster old timey barbershops seem to be making a comeback

It has to be voluntary.

It is oppression. Eugenics argument is based solely on the fact that it's the sole cause of criminality. This obviously not true.

The solution treats it that way

What is the genetic factor that contributes to criminality?

@Jacobare the people who have this gene that dont commit crime?

We're heading towards genetic Minority Report.

@sigruna14sure but we're trying to boil it down to a single factor. It's the individual vs demographic argument again.

For eugenics? That's what we were talking about.

@sigruna14ok then we have to define what the acceptable risks are.

@sigruna14i understand your point but seatbelts have a wealth of data to support their efficacy.
