of course. everything else is of secondary concern for now

besides, just like in the socialism-libertarianism debate, both direct democracy and illiberal democracy require a high level of trust that your fellow citizens/the elites aren't going to screw you over

and we all know what ruins that societal trust

>elites
>aren't going to screw you over

(((elites)))

I'm talking about people who achieve success and influence in society, not (((elites)))

but fair point

the English, for a long time, had the concept of "noblesse oblige" - basically nobility with obligations to society

i.e. your higher status means you're responsible for giving back, be it through charity, patronage, serving in the military, whatever

if I achieved success & influence in society, as a normie, I would be extremely hesitant to enter politics if I was to do anything short of further attempting to disenfranchise whites

I understand your point I dont really think itll be valid for the mainstream for a long time though

Society, culture, governance, etc have to be molded to the point where that would work well.

you're right - we're in an abnormal situation right now and will be for a while

and those who we trusted to steward society have failed horribly or are actively working against us

so now it's us ordinary people who have to make some aggressive course corrections

with the usual caveats - peacefully, lawfully, in Minecraft, etc. <:4dchess:439923932062154782>

Who's ready to DEFEND THE ROCKIES!

Stupid amounts of pumped up for this

@Nemets Leadership has already begun disbursing funds to some travelers. The more donations we receive, the more of our top folks we can send.

Reach out to Wayne and Matthias if you would like to make specific arrangements for someone.

@Sam Anderson so my permission to talk in the media page was taken from me. But regardless, although we are have our opinions on Gavin Mcinnes flaws and shortcomings. He's prevented a ton of smearing by journalists and effectively tied their hands using a lawyer and threatening them with defamation lawsuits

I remember one particular article calling them white supremists he targeted and they resorted to changing it to "ultra-nationalist"

@Sacramento Only mods and coords can post in <#359019439116648458> now. 😕

Rip

The fact that politics is infecting science to this degree is pretty terrifying tbh.

it's nothing new

gotta get that grant money boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

which means you shut the fuck up or the NSF is going to blacklist you

thats just the face of it

fun fact: your average research college receives more money in grants and private companies paying for research than they do from students paying tuition

this is defended as being "normal"

science is way more politicized in colleges

and by "more" I'm talking (at least with my school) a ratio of 3-4:1 for money received from companies versus students

so you _can_ call professors corporate whores, and in most cases you'd be right

Love how pointing out differences is automatically racism even without suggesting anything off it

Like how if you google "White scientists" the first result is the wiki article on "Scientific Racism"

My wife’s water broke. Dudes, I’m going to be a dad!!!
