Zaid Jilani Peter Moskos The late '80s, early '90s had ghetto gangbanger violence, and middle class people whose kids weren't subject to irresponsible school districting policies could simply avoid it. The only taxpayers who got caught in the line of fire immigrants unfortunate enough to have set up

Here is a follow-up episode we did together. Operation Nemesis was a multi-year, continent-spanning revenge operation by Armenian revolutionaries working out of Watertown, MA, to hunt down and kill the Turkish officials most responsible for the genocide. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unr…

Conservatism is much more the ability to fish in the same stream amongst the same trees with your son as your grandfather did before you than it is getting rootless individuals to hold the right policy position on abortion. The latter is fine, but operates on liberal structures.

The final red pill is recognizing how divorced from reality 90% of online “politics” truly is. This is largely due to people wanting pipe dreams and quasi-political entertainment. Hate on the likes of Pearl and Tate all you want, but they’re just responding to market demand.

Today is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. Here is a podcast I put together and did w/Jocko on the horrible topic. Not for the faint of heart, but worth knowing if you don’t already. Jocko Willink

I prefer early Metallica like everyone else, but much of their later work is genuinely good music in its own right, and I don’t blame them for not wanting to keep writing the same music they played in their early 20s.

Become ungovernable:

America got through the transition with *relatively* few problems because we had a lot of space, no external pressures or threats, and because the Industrial Revolution took nearly a century to complete its work. And even then, thousands were killed in labor conflicts, Presidents

When I was working at ThinkProgress, which was basically a Dem Party operation, years ago, we would go to Tea Party rallies with 100,000 people and find one or two people saying something racist to frame the whole rally that way. I didn't like it then, don't like it now.

On the eve of the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, hundreds of bribed police in busloads, sent by Nikol Pashinyan, flood and brutalize the peaceful protest in #Tavush .
Armenians simply don't want to gift their homes, and #Armenia 's main gas artery and entire economy to #Turks .

U.S. public affairs programs from the 70s and before show a stunningly high level of public discourse. Since the 80s there was a deliberate effort to dumb the public down and now it just takes Star Wars memes to convince people killing every male in Ukraine for Raytheon is epic

Karl Polanyi, one of the twentieth century’s most insightful and influential socialist thinkers, passed away exactly 60 years ago. His masterpiece, The Great Transformation, remains the most powerful critique yet produced of market liberalism — the belief that societies can and

Over the last few years, the Right acquired socially-conservative Red Tory types while pawning off Trotskyite neocons on the Left… some minor conflicts as contractual details are ironed out, but all-in-all a one-sided trade that should secure the GM’s job for another few years.

I love how, after all these years of controversial public commentary, so many people decided Tucker finally crossed the uncrossable line by suggesting we shouldn’t have murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians w/nuclear weapons.

Strivers are mad at Tucker because he is unapologetically himself and is not afraid to express low status opinions. Something they can never do because they are not free

Imagine if the U.S. was providing weapons & support to a nuclear armed ultra militarized Muslim ethnostate that was killing 32k Jews & demanding ethnic expulsion of 2 million other Jews. Would the pundits whining nonstop about protesters calling for peace have the same position?
