The funniest part of Forrest Gump is that he has the IQ of the average black American.

Women hate Hatchet because reading it requires putting themselves in the mind of a man who needs to calmly and repeatedly solve problems all while not talking to anyone
RACIAL GESTURES AND NOISES LMFAO

Nobody ever talks about this, but the reason you have to go to college is A, because Griggs v. Duke Power Company made it illegal for presumptive employers to IQ test, and B, inner city High-Schools basically aren't allowed to fail a student as long as they physically show up.
So you end up in this trap where a High-School diploma that you worked very hard for means nothing, because a kid who did coloring books and addition and subtraction got a paper saying he has the same qualification. Ok, then just give me an intelligence test, oh wait you cant, thats also illegal because it causes "disparate impact". So now the only proxy for basically literacy and ~105~ IQ is a 4 year meaningless degree that costs 10s of thousands of dollars.
But wait, now they hand those out to anyone, (1/4 of 4yr grads have an IQ of or below 95), so now you need a Master's, or specialty training, or a million other bullshit things. So you get them, but wait, a diploma mill in Hyderabad cranked out 100M guys who also have a Master's on paper, and will work for 1/3 the price, so now you dont have a job. Ok, ill work construction, but wait, you dont live in a State with strong Unions, so any non-specialized construction work is done by slaves from Guatemala, so you decide to stay home and take Percocet instead.
Awesome system we've built.
What
Fictional?
Are you seriously suggesting that White communists don't exist? That White Muslims don't exist? That White rapists, criminals, and violent ideologues don't exist? What part of that is fictional, exactly?
You are so determined to make this an argument about race that you're missing the much more important argument about CULTURE.
I reject Islamist theocracy.
I reject the destructive elements of inner-city culture.
I reject the grievance politics and authoritarianism of communism.
I reject them regardless of the skin color of the people practicing them.
Why? Because I find those beliefs and behaviors morally repugnant. Not because of the ancestry of the people holding them.
A child raised in an impoverished neighborhood where criminality is normalized is more likely to absorb those values. A child raised in an affluent, progressive household where Marxism is celebrated may absorb those values instead.
Culture is learned. It is transmitted. It is reinforced. And, critically, it can be REJECTED.
Here's the part that ought to get your attention.
You wrote:
"Heritage Americans increasingly reject the notion that every ethnic community on Earth is entitled to celebrate its ancestry, preserve its culture, and defend its collective interests, while the descendants of those who actually built this nation are expected to regard those same instincts in their own community as uniquely shameful."
I AGREE WITH YOU.
COMPLETELY.
UNEQUIVOCALLY.
White Americans have every right to celebrate their ancestry, preserve their cultural inheritance, and take pride in their ancestors' accomplishments. I have absolutely no objection to that. In fact, I will DEFEND that right. I appreciate the culture that y'all built. I CHOSE it over the culture I grew up in.
You lose me the moment you decide that ancestry, skin color, and cultural allegiance are interchangeable concepts.
THEY ARE NOT.
I'm Black (In case you didn't pick that up yet.)
I reject the entirety of the destructive culture commonly associated with Black Americans. There are plenty of Black Americans who feel exactly as I do.
Go talk to some ex-Muslims. You'll find people who despise Islamist authoritarianism with a passion that makes my objections look positively mild. Many of those *GASP* have brown skin!!!!!
Go talk to people who escaped communist dictatorships. They'll tell you precisely what they think of the ideology that destroyed their countries and families. Some of them might be *gasp* BLACK!
These people didn't change their ancestry. They didn't change their skin color. They changed their beliefs, rejected destructive cultural practices, and chose something better.
Many of them would stand shoulder to shoulder with you in defending the very civilization you're talking about. You're so obsessed with who their ancestors were that you cannot recognize who THEY are.
That is an astonishingly foolish way to build a political movement. You are cutting off your nose to spite your face, alienating people who share your principles because they don't share your pigmentation.
And for what? The intellectual convenience of judging millions of individuals by ancestry rather than making the slightest effort to understand their character?
If that's how you want to operate, I cannot stop you.
But don't you DARE act surprised when people like me, people who have spent over a decade passionately defending conservatism, American traditions, individual liberty, and the cultural inheritance of Western civilization, decide we've had quite enough of being treated as unwelcome guests in our own country.
I am not asking you to apologize for being White. I am asking you to stop demanding that I apologize for NOT being White.
You want to preserve American civilization? Wonderful. So do I.
You want to defend the cultural achievements of our ancestors? Excellent. So do I. Even though they technically aren't my ancestors. They are culturally, if not genetically.
You want to resist the importation of destructive ideologies and cultural practices? You will find me standing right beside you.
But if you insist that my skin color makes me inherently less American, less trustworthy, or less worthy of standing alongside you, then you have ceased defending a civilization based on its principles and started defending a racial club.
I have absolutely no interest in joining that club, or supporting its existence.
I grew up in a miserable, Democrat-run environment. I spent forty years of my life learning how to recognize, confront, and survive the political and cultural dysfunction that came with it. I know these people. I know their arguments. I know their tactics. I know how to fight them.
And if they take over again? I won't like it. Not one bit.
But I'll survive. I escaped that environment once. I can (and will) do it again.
The question is whether you would rather have people like me helping you fight for the country we BOTH love, or whether your obsession with racial identity matters more to you than actually winning.
I am offering you an ally, not begging you for acceptance.
And if you cannot tell the difference, that is your failure, not mine.
Grow up. Learn to distinguish race from culture. Learn to judge individuals by what they believe and what they do.
Or keep driving away your allies, and then spend the next decade wondering why you keep losing.
You cannot build a winning coalition by treating everyone who doesn't look like you as an enemy. You cannot claim to defend American civilization while rejecting Americans who actually believe in it.

Women are demanding the unquestioned right to kill their infant children because they are having sex with men they do not respect.
This is not a matter of poor moral character, as if all women of a several generations had suddenly been born depraved all at once.
It's a matter of instinct.
A woman is instinctively programmed not to mate with a man unless she sees him as superior to her. Not just equal. Superior.
This ensures she will have the best children she can.
A woman is instinctively programmed to conform to the wishes and opinions of her tribe.
This ensures that her children will be cared for and survive.
A woman is instinctively programmed to crave sex, just as men do.
This ensures that she will have children at all.
All of these instincts are paleolithic, genetic, hardwired, and immutable.
But what happens when these instincts are pitted against each other?
What happens when the very social matrix, which she is programmed to obey, insists to each and every woman that no man is her superior, and she can do anything he can do, not only backwards and in heels, but with far better result?
She is now programmed to refuse every potential mate.
Oh, she won't be celibate, of course. But sex will be social, casual, or downright recreational, and she will want double, triple, and quadruple assurances that she will never become pregnant, or if she does, that pregnancy will never lead to her raising the child of an "unworthy" man.
We have socially engineered our entire civilization into a state where all men give women the ick. Every single one.
Even the wealthiest, most powerful, and most accomplished men in the world are getting divorces... or, if they are smart enough not to get legally married, they are getting publicly dragged by their baby-mommas in the press.
I won't go into how or why this was done, not right here today. It's enough that we all know that it was done, and anyone who says different isn't confused, he's just lying.
When a modern day Amelia Earhart is given a five million dollar Lear Jet with fifteen lives aboard to crash and destroy, before she is even old enough to have a beer, just so we can all sprain a shoulder patting ourselves on the back... well, then you all know what the problem is.
We all know that matriarchies go extinct because women with political power immediate steer their society into the nearest iceberg.
But do we really?
Perhaps now we find out that wasn't even the problem, at least not immediately, and possibly far less than we thought. Matriarchies go extinct because they don't breed.
If you give women power over men, they start to find men disgusting. How dare they? How dare those men be so weak that women actually be able to influence or hurt them in any way? To a woman's basic, paleolithic mating instincts, this is unforgivable.
Men can forgive weakness, but never cruelty. Women can forgive cruelty, but never weakness.
But this means we are left with a dilemma, a choice of two unacceptable alternatives we cannot avoid.
Either we stop propping up women into a forced social and political equality with men, which is unacceptable because every civilized Westerner, including me, was brought up to think of this as morally imperative...
... or, by doing nothing, we allow society to collapse back into a more desperate state where this will happen automatically.
I don't have a third, easy offramp to offer you.
Pornographic films can comfort young men who have been shut out of any chance at success, power, and respect by social engineering. And pornographic books can comfort girls who have been rendered unable to feel anything for an any man who isn't an immortal billionaire vampire warlord.
But porn can't love anyone, and it can't get married and raise children.
We need to stop this nonsense, not because we have gleefully become bigots suddenly and for no reason at all, but because we need to be smart enough to recognize an existential crisis when we spot one.
Otherwise, what good is it to even be an intelligent species?
REMINDER ON WOMEN AND POLITICAL POWER: Societies that granted women political power rapidly flamed out and died giving the illusion that women have never held political power at all.
Consider, within one hundred years of granting us the right to vote our primary concern has been to preserve a "right" that's resulted in the termination of roughly a quarter of the Gen Z.
A quarter of an entire generation. Really let that sink in. There's been nothing like it in human history.
Then, go and tell that little factoid to just about any woman you know. They'll dismiss it, laugh it off, respond with unbelievable callousness. Won't acknowledge the truth of it, though.
This is why societies that grant women political power die off so quickly.
Look around you, we're watching an actual Space Faring Matriarchal Western Civilization collapsing before the onslaught of a Patriarchal people from the desert, seemingly powerless before the invasion of unarmed military aged men invading on rickety wooden boats.
Do you think this is the first time something like this has happened?

When you have to invent a fictional White criminal and a fictional Black saint to rebut an argument about national identity, you’ve already admitted you cannot answer the argument itself.
America was founded by White, European-descended people who understood themselves as a distinct nation. The first Congress explicitly restricted naturalization to free White persons. You cannot erase that history or the global hegemonic superpower it produced.
Heritage Americans increasingly reject the notion that every ethnic community on Earth is entitled to celebrate its ancestry, preserve its culture, and defend its collective interests, while the descendants of those who actually built this nation are expected to regard those same instincts in their own community as uniquely shameful.
They’re told their heritage is meaningless, their ancestors interchangeable, and their communities obligated to accept every demographic and cultural transformation without objection.
And when they object, you lecture them about constitutional abstractions, as though individual liberty and cultural continuity were somehow incompatible.
Nobody has to believe every White person is virtuous or every immigrant is wicked to recognize that a nation has a history, a cultural inheritance, and legitimate interests worth preserving.
You claim to be defending the civilization our ancestors built, yet you treat the very idea of preserving its historical identity as an offense against its principles.
A Constitution is not a substitute for a people. And a civilization that forgets who built it will eventually forget why it was worth building.
Dude and I just said nice things about your other article. God damn it.
Are you okay with a White Muslim imposing Sharia law on you and forcing you to pay jizya?
Are you okay with a White communist confiscating your home or business and handing it over to his political friends?
Are you okay with a White Democrat confiscating your firearms?
Are you okay with a White criminal robbing you in the street?
Are you okay with a white rapist defiling your wife?
No?
Then apparently being White isn't sufficient to make someone a desirable member of your society, is it?
Now let's reverse the question.
Would you rather have a Black neighbor who respects your property rights, your constitutional freedoms, your family, and your way of life, or a White neighbor who wants to take all of those things away?
Because that's the distinction you seem utterly incapable of making.
Race tells me absolutely nothing about whether someone shares values. Their beliefs, conduct, and character tell me quite a lot.
You keep talking about the civilization White Americans helped build. Fine. Let's talk about what they built.
A constitutional republic. A system of government founded on principles of individual liberty, property rights, religious freedom, and equality before the law.
And your argument is that these principles should be subordinate to racial ancestry?
What an extraordinary way to celebrate the accomplishments of your ancestors: by rejecting the very principles you claim make their civilization worth defending.
I don't owe you gratitude for my constitutional rights. They aren't yours to dispense, and they aren't yours to revoke.
I will stand beside a White man who defends my liberties. I will stand against a White man who threatens them. And I'll apply precisely the same standard to everyone else.
I'm interested in preserving a civilization, not running a racial membership club.
And if you cannot understand the difference, perhaps you should spend a little less time boasting about the civilization your ancestors built and a little more time studying what made it worth building.
It's like watching a gorilla pick up something it's never seen before and try to figure out if it's food.

Do you see how women are celebrated for failing? Whether it’s piloting a plane into the ground at 600 mph, or failing the Navy Seals course, you can always count on society to give women applause just for being there, even if it was a complete catastrophe.
Two women attempting to become Navy SEALs advanced further through the military's grueling training pipeline than any women before them, making history despite ultimately failing to complete the demanding course at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado in California. cbsn.ws/4eiKyen

No, this is evergreen:
“The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types — the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins. He admires them especially by moonlight, not to say moonshine. Each new blunder of the progressive or prig becomes instantly a legend of immemorial antiquity for the snob. This is called the balance, or mutual check, in our Constitution.”
- G.K. Chesterton in the Illustrated London News (1924)
Well yeah
I hate to break it to people who believe the "pendulum" will "swing" back again.
Every time Democrats take power, they inflict crushing destruction and damage that Republicans never undo when they wield it.
The net effect is demographic shift and judicial activism we'll never recover from.
2024 was a wasted opportunity that may never happen again and if you're not enraged, you weren't paying attention.
