The more I learn about the Bauhaus school of thought, the more I find it detestable. To view ornamentation as waste, as superfluous, is either heartless or soulless, likely both.
Bring back art deco & nouveau, and classical design.
I’d bike to my friend’s house and knock to see if he was free to ride bikes.
Sometimes he was still doing farm chores and we’d chip in to help him finish faster.
Very rarely he’d be grounded and we’d have to bike home very sad.
Don’t know why we didn’t just call.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not to brag too much, but I’m pretty sure I can identify which signature in this @New_Christendom book is which.
First is @Brian_Sauve, second is @Eric_Conn.
Did I get it right?
Saw two women in niqabs and a 3yo in a hijab at @SamsClub in Fort Worth TX today.
Just as the founders intended.
Remember, this guy’s been pro-America and anti-mass-immigration of foreigners since at least college.
@StephenM is a PATRIOT.

Stephen Miller: ‘There's a cliché that illegal migration is bad and legal immigration is good.
Do you believe every thing authorized by the government is good? No. So, why would we apply that to something as important as immigration? ... What we need on immigration is a pause.’
3yo just called his 8mo little brother ‘little buddy.’
That’s what I call my 3yo.
What are these feels I’m feeling 🥹

The problem is that immigration ensures that conservatism loses. The world is not “conservative,” by American standards. Even if Muslims or Hindus oppose leftwing morality (trans, abortion, gay right, etc,), they prioritize material gain over universal moral policy when they arrive. And they have enough ingroup solidarity to prevent abortion, homosexuality, etc. among themselves. And they retain post-colonial grievance, which is imputed to whites in general.
Bo French sees what is at stake. Multiculturalism produces a feverishly material society entirely unconcerned with any formal social norms besides “tolerance.”
Excellent read.
The system will not let you secede peacefully. You will not get to exist within the bounds of a state untouched by its leaders & petty middle managers.
2020 should have disabused us of this notion entirely.
Quitting isn’t an option.

The most incredible thing about American politics is the visceral disgust conservatives have for the young people they need to get married
Married people with children are invested in the future, they care about preserving the existing order for their kids, they can see a future and will fight to defend it
In short, they become conservatives
But the conservative movement sneers at young men who want to get married, buy a house, and start a family, they call them entitled or lazy and talk about how they prefer imported foriegners with "conservative values"
Forget the basic moral necessity of caring for your own posterity, from a purely politically mercenary position you should still encourage behaviors that make people vote more like you
But conservatives hate young people so deeply they would rather destroy their own future than priortize famliy formation
If you want to understand why young people want to burn the whole system down, this is it
You gave them nothing worth conserving, and the saddest thing is you seem to have done it out of pure resentment for your own kids
I’m barely a quarter into this book rec by @grayzoneintel and every Republican needs to read and internalize it.
Politics isn’t a hobby, it isn’t a game, and it isn’t a social club.
It’s about acquiring and wielding power (hopefully for good ends).

Checking in at my hotel, no line, yet I’m directed to check in with the Indian at the Kiosk.
I politely told the nice black guy that I’d be checking in with an IRL person or going to a different hotel.
He lit up and got me situated. Great customer service.
Ban these kiosks.
You may not care about the browning of America, but the browning of America very much cares about you.
And not in a good way.
