Japan still has about three times the population it had in 1900. Prediction: Japan will be much better off in 25 years than those countries who replaced their native populations through immigration.
I live in an affluent area. Almost every kid I see seems to be somewhere on the spectrum. This is not normal. Something is going very wrong and it’s a very serious issue that needs to be tackled at the government level.
Tolkien recognized that you can’t really go back. Sauron was defeated but his effect on Middle Earth was permanent. The Elves must leave and the earth will never be the same again. There is no “return.” You can only go forward.
The Starship Troopers discourse reveals that:
1. The vast majority of people have no clue about what Fascism was; and
2. Leftists believe Fascism means rule by those who are competent and beautiful.
Villains in the Bible who would be lauded by modern Christians
1. Cain: Vegan. Had a disagreement with his brother who ate too much meat which causes climate change.
How Hollywood depictions of Batman reflect the state of American culture. A thread
The 1966-68 Batman series took place during the height of American power & prosperity. The machinery for the destruction of the US had already been set into motion, but the public didn’t feel it
Most Catholic influencers are usually literary types—men who are good with words but who are often strangers to physical labor and the male camaraderie gained from participating in a team sport.
Harrison Butker is a break from this pattern. He combines vitalism (being handsome,
Reminder that primary sign of the pending collapse of the Roman Empire was that the new populace no longer had the competence to maintain the old systems.

It’s because “Roscoe” has been told for several years that his group is responsible for all the ills of history. He’s had to watch his country completely transformed through immigration and when he said something, he was called a racist. He is forced to take seminars telling him
“Africa will save the Church”
“Latinos will convert the US”
“Islam will lead Europe back to the Faith”
All these statements give off a weird cuckhold vibe. Stop fantasizing about someone else doing what you should be doing.
German culture is very efficient but also a bit dour.
The Greeks are more fun-loving but not the most efficient.
Different nations (peoples) create different kinds of cultures. People are not fungible units.
In Japan, they have unstaffed food stands. People just pay on the honor system. Why can’t we have this in the U.S.? Why do we accept living in a low trust society?
The Batman, released in 2022, is the darkest of all. There is never sunlight in Gotham City. The Batcave is now a dark hovel. Wayne Manor looks dark and uncared for. Bruce Wayne has turned into a brooding loner. The politicians are all corrupt and the villain is doing a much
The Reconquista of Spain was started by one man—Pelayo of Asturias. He was a Visigoth nobleman who rebelled against his Muslim overlords. Notably, a Muslim army was sent against him under the command of a Muslim general and a Catholic bishop in cahoots with the enemy.

It’s true that men don’t want to fight in foreign wars that don’t benefit the US, but the more important fact is that men no longer see the US as worth fighting for. No one wants to die for an economic zone that is open to all.
We're down 25% in recruitment for our military. Why is that happening? We’re focused on all the wrong things. Stop making them take gender pronoun classes. We have to be mission focused.
In Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman movie, Batman is much darker. The villain is the Joker and he is now genuinely malevolent while still retaining some cartoony aspects. Bruce Wayne is still elegant and he still attracts beautiful women. Wayne Manor and the Batcave are impeccable. There

Van Jones, speaking very clearly: “we want the white majority to go from being a majority to being a minority.”

Conservatives are a completely
Yesterday, Van Jones called me a “demagogue” for discussing the Great Replacement Theory. Well, here are Van’s words in 2021: “The request from the racial justice left: we want the white majority to go from being a majority to being a minority and like it. That’s a tough request,
Conservatives have to come up with a fake origin of DEI as coming from the globalists, while the truth is that it originated from the Civil Rights Act.
Christopher Nolan’s epic 2008 Batman trilogy takes a still darker turn. Batman still has outstanding technology, and Bruce Wayne is still elegant and dates beautiful women, but for the first time we are led to ask who is really on the side of the good and who is evil. Does Bane’s

People are saying that you should teach your boys how to fight and that’s not wrong, but kids shouldn’t have to face brutal beatings in school.
The primary threat to Christianity isn’t from pagans or atheists but from Christians who have elevated the morals of liberalism over the traditional Christian morals. This heresy is so prevalent that those who engage in it believe they are just practicing Christianity.
It would be a good idea for Christian politicians in other countries to examine why there was such a ball drop in Poland and try to avoid the same mistakes.
🇵🇱 This is the new Polish minister of family. Have a close look at the picture on her shirt in order to understand where "Catholic" Poland is heading under the new government.
I live in an affluent bubble but when I travel to other parts of the US, this is what see. The fabric that once held the country together is rapidly disintegrating. It’s not ending in violence but in exhaustion.
The post-1945 order:
1. Nationalism is the greatest evil imaginable
2. Humans are fungible economic units
3. Biology is not real (see

4. We can eliminate all pain & suffering through wealth redistribution payments
5. Free trade and consumerism will bring lasting peace
The Roman Empire left a legacy of politics, law, literature, architecture, art, warfare, engineering, philosophy, and religion that still resonates today in every Western nation. The Mongol Empire, not so much.
Under current Catholic theology, King Theoden could have repelled Saruman’s orc army if they attacked by force of arms. But if the orcs came as refugees, Rohan would have been required to open the gates of their fortress & provide food/housing for the orcs and their descendants
The same people who urge you to forgive and not punish heartless murderers also think it’s perfectly okay that people harbor grudges over colonialism that occurred over 100 years ago.
This was the most egregious example of police brutality I’ve ever seen, yet there was no national reporting, no gold coffins, and no tearful outbursts by conservative influencers on social media about the murder of Daniel Shavers.
Thread: On January 8th, 2016, the police were called to the La Quinta Inn & Suites hotel in Mesa, Arizona. They received reports of someone pointing a rifle out of Daniel Shavers hotel room. Daniel, 26, a man with a wife and two daughters, would never see them again.
The Catholics during the Age of Faith built fortified cities to protect their wives, children, and property. The Catholic approach is to pray as though every thing depends on God, but to work as though it all depends on us. We are not Quietists.
If you claim to be a conservative woman and wear bikinis or lingerie in public, then you have debased yourself, you have conserved nothing, and you have proven that the men in your life do not love you very much.

If you go through the trouble of doing this, don’t try to appease the sensibilities of your opponents like all other conservatives. It will only limit your effectiveness and they’ll hate you regardless.
Ben doesn’t understand (or pretends to not understand) what a nation is. A nation is not a state (the government). A nation is a group of people with a shared descent and shared characteristics.

The Old Testament patriarchs were shepherds. This lifestyle is the antithesis of the Great Reset. They lived in freedom with no state authority, they ate meat and drank milk, and they were not confined to a small apartment in the city.
Vivek delivered a master class in how conservatives can raise controversial issues. He demonstrated that we should not settle for the weak, mealy-mouthed conservatives who will never protect their voters’ interests because they might be called a bad name.
Vivek. Real or Fake?

The story takes place 60 years from now after an alien invasion. Most of humanity has been destroyed & much of the earth is uninhabitable...
Okay, I’ll take the unpopular contrarian position here. Certain groups basically have no laws enforced against them and the southern border is wide open. Maybe our highest priority shouldn’t be empowering police to scour private texts in search of “sexting”
The Church converted the Roman Empire by preaching Christ crucified as the only path to salvation, not by trying to keep up with the worst aspects of Roman culture.
Why does the Church today make so much effort to keep up with the worst aspects of liberal culture?
A thread on spiritual boomerism. There were two sides to boomers. The first was the tendency toward greed personified by Gordon Gekko. But the more lasting legacy of the boomers came from their hippie formation.

I didn’t fight 100 guys—not even close—but fought a stream of senior students during my black belt test. By the end I was so tired that I couldn’t throw a kick and I could do little more than block blows. Absolutely unforgettable experience to give every drop you have.
it’s pretty weird being in japan and seeing incredible public transit, safe streets, high speed rail, and almost zero gun violence
and then remembering that the US has almost double the GDP/capita. our bad outcomes (like 8 year shorter life spans) are entirely a policy choice
The biggest weakness of conservatives is that you don’t help your own. The left protects its own and ensures they prosper. Even former terrorists get lucrative positions. Meanwhile, if you say something controversial, conservatives will hang you out to dry. Christians will do the
The Alamariu book is important because it forever removes Greek civilization from the “nice” category of middling conservatives. People like Donna Zuckerberg who view classical literature as a threat to the entire modern consensus are correct. This is dangerous literature.
BREAKING: A new comprehensive study presented in front of the Pennsylvania Senate finds zero Amish children diagnosed with cancer, diabetes, or autism.
The more I reflect on it, the more I realize that something fundamentally changed after WW2. That marked the beginning of the end for Western civilization.
The Russell Crowe movie “Master and Commander” provides a picture of healthy masculinity. The men are, above all, guided by their mission. They don’t have access to women but that doesn’t turn them into lust-filled perverts nor prudish simps. They are Christian but they don’t
One thing I learned doing criminal defense is that people usually do not commit crime because they are poor or hungry. They usually do it because the crime is a shortcut to obtain something that would take more work to achieve.

I’ve noticed the same decline. The infrastructure is getting shoddier, but the bigger decline is in the spirit of the American people. We are demoralized after having been told we are responsible for every injustice, real or imagined.
A commercial that promotes fitness, marriage, fatherhood, and achievement. But such a commercial would never be produced today. What happened?
The answer can’t be “capitalism” or “liberalism” because the US was both of those things when this commercial was produced.
You won’t find any praise for these villains in my book. But you will find lots of practical examples for how modern men can emulate the patriarchs to conquer the bad guys.
