    There is no point is spite. Even when a criminal is so irredeemable, or an enemy so unrelenting, that killing him is the only option-- excessive cruelty should still be avoided. I don't wish that Biden suffers, only that he and his ilk are removed from power and (ideally) that they are duly...

    How about this: zero illegals, and that's just for entertaining a deal. 1. As far as the money goes... for every illegal that's currently in the USA that gets deported, 5000 bucks get put in the package. If I've got my numbers right, you can get the 61 billion, and a bit extra, by deporting all...

    We actually agree on this, no doubt. We agree on this as well. My point isn't that this will be resolved by democratic means -- it won't -- but rather that the West isn't nearly ready for the culture wars to escalate into (essentially) a civilisation-spanning a civil war. That war is coming...

    "They" don't tell you that at all. The establishment constantly parrots the progressive line that opposes all attempts at thorough historical analysis. In fact, it's in their interest that people riot now -- "too early" -- because they still have the power to A) beat any attempt, and B) turn it...

    It's certainly true that things go slowly until they suddenly go very swiftly indeed. It's not true that predicting when this will most probably happen is night-impossible. Even leaving aside any macro-historical analysis, the simple fact is that this particular thing can be effectively...

    The people who expect things to turn around in mere years are the ones who really allowed themselves to get memed. That's already been demonstrated by the fact that they've been saying "any day now!!!" since at least 2008. It's not going to happen any day now. As you said: decades more ahead...

    You're taking an imagined worst-case scenario as a given. It's possible, but there are a variety of outcomes (which we've discussed before, in some detail). I don't think it's warranted to assume that the worst outcome possible (as you see it) is the inevitable go-to. And I think it would be a...

    If a post starts out by explaining that it's about the problem of unintended consequences, and then points out the actual unintended consequences of the proposed solutions, then you are being disingenuous if your conclusion is "so that means you oppose all solution, huh?" You're framing it...

    A key difference is that the burden is shifted away from the specific consumers doing the thing, and instead distributed across all consumers. In other words: a "socialised" economy. You don't pay for your stuff, everybody has to pay into everything. I'm not a big fan of that. I'm not a big...

    Certainly. He pushed every wrong button. But even in that situation, Britain could easily have realised that Germany would never be able to match the Royal Navy (not even close), and that siding with Germany in exchange for Wilhelm II abandoning his naval/colonial ambitions (which by then had...

    My conclusion is that I read the text below the video, and saw that this was sensationalising a second-hand re-telling that already sensationalised something I had actually read. So I could see that it was a twice-sensationalised third-hand account. This is rather disheartening. To compare...

    I somehow feel that the people involved in this documentary have only a foggy notion of what they're talking about. Even a cursory glance shows that they base their thesis on the work of people such as Richard Grove, or TragedyAndHope.com -- who himself presents a very muddled re-interpretation...

    My great-grandfather saw your post from the great beyond, and he saw that it was Good. ...anyway, Britain itself should've joined the Central Powers, too. Then they wouldn't have pissed away their own future, and as a result, wouldn't be in the state they're in now.

    And once the shit really hits the fan, there will be no more government hand-outs to go around. So as I've often pointed out: they currently use tax-payer money to buy a lot of black and latino votes. ("Vote Democrat, get money!") They deliberately keep those groups poor, so that this "offer"...

    That's not "a step further", that's "the complete opposite". The fact that the radical left eagerly indoctrinates people only offers additional reasons to thoroughly and decently educate people into civically-minded patriots with critical thinking skills. If that's the issue, then you should...

    Corruption is always a problem. That's no reason to say "well, let's just try nothing, then, since it'll go wrong anyway". We should consider that a hard requirement like the natural born citizen clause or the consitututional age minumum does effectively restrict access to the Presidency. No...

    Why just elites? There is considerable merit to the notion of a universal citizen's militia, and there is likewise evident good sense to the notion of having your militiamen well-trained. The obvious solution is to require a period of military training and service as a prerequisite to full legal...

    It is often observed that an environment of affluence requires an attitude of considerable discipline, because the access to wealth removes many natural pressures that force discipline upon most "common" people. In other words: if you don't have to work to survive, it becomes far more important...
