“Dissident Right” is objectively a worse term than “Alternative Right.” “Alternative” has a resonance of hopeful legitimacy - i.e., “a better alternative.” A dissident, by contrast, has no future. He is disconnected, powerless, and ultimately useless. Semantics do matter.

Hila is significantly hotter than the girl with whom he cheated, which should tell you something about the nature of infidelity.

In honor of BioWare’s passing, I’m bringing the Illusive Man pfp back 🥂 #NewProfilePic

That’s politics for you. They will circle the wagons every time.

Vivek Ramaswamy is not fit to lead. Watch our new ad.

Vivek has proved out the stereotype that Indians will kiss-ass their superiors and be uncompromisingly cruel to those they feel are beneath them.

Wow. BioWare was a huge part of my childhood and this is very, very sad news. When they were in their prime, absolutely no one could do it better.

You can really tell Vivek thought Indians were on the road to becoming the new top caste in America and now that it’s all crumbling before his eyes he can barely contain his superiority complex and contempt for the people he thinks should be rightfully beneath him

Vivek right now:

It is super odd to me that casually dressing well is treated by American millennials and Zoomers as a cringe larp. All of their heroes dress well. They WANT to look attractive. But the moment a guy does, expect to hear "holy larp". Never seen such self-sabotaging generations.

“Our House” was released in November 1982 as the lead single from The Rise & Fall and became Madness' biggest international hit. It reached No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart and, in 1983, became the band's biggest American success by reaching No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also won Best Pop Song at the 1983 Ivor Novello Awards. The Rise & Fall was not released in the United States at the time, instead, “Our House” was included on the American compilation Madness in 1983, helping introduce the band to a much wider US audience. The song grew out of Chas Smash's idea that the band members should write songs about their different family backgrounds. While the others did not pursue the idea, Smash turned his own experience of family life into a warm and nostalgic portrait of a busy working-class household.

I hate “JD” Vance in a way I can’t put into words. Ukrainian civilians are being bombed, yet “JD” is worried about Russian gas. Is it some fruitless attempt to lower prices before the midterms? Or simply a last-ditch attempt to rescue the decrepit country that “trads” and “post-liberals” love so much? Either way, he’s a Vatnik. I’d support AOC over him if it came to that. #NeverVance

“Retvrn to Tradition.” - Random Washed Up Porn Actress

The message that you should be taking away from the HBO series, if you've truly honed your media literacy to a razor edge, is that its stupidity and ingratitude to the source material is a far better refutation of the original than its actual attempts at refutation. Moore comes from a cohort of decrepit old leftists who genuinely believed in their day that they could create a better world, and that doing so justified whatever means they used. You're not meant to self-insert into Veidt, sure, but you are supposed to be a good little Nite Owl and do nothing while this imaginary revolutionary saves the stupid world from itself. Intentionally or not, Lindelof depicted exactly the world that would come of this. Rorschach isn't believed in HBO's Watchmen, except by the right-wing fringe. Veidt won. Except... His "victory" achieved nothing. The world has sunk into a bitter malaise. The peace brought about by the "alien" attacks is held to, but society didn't improve in any way. Why was it written this way? Because the Cold War was long enough ago that even aging leftists like Lindelof forgot about it. Lofty causes like "prevent nuclear annihilation" are silly and out of date now, and leftists are rather embarrassed to have ever been associated with them. After all, we never had an alien invasion in real life, we never had superheroes, and yet nuclear war never happened. Capitalism won, the right wing won, America became absolute hegemon. All the things that Moore and his cohort said would usher in Doom did not. History just trundled on. And all that's left, in the case of the Watchmen, is a collection of characters who compromised their morals and made peace with evil. For the sake of a cause we now know was totally unnecessary. Everyone Veidt killed died for nothing. There was never going to be a nuclear war. And of course there was only one character who never compromised himself. You were supposed to spite him for it, and yes, you were supposed to assume that his principles led to disaster, but now we know they didn't. Now we know he was just the only one who had a spine. Under those conditions, you are going to have a very very hard time getting people to prefer a coward who killed millions for nothing to an "edgy neckbeard" who tried to save them.

Still not sure what a “line wife” is, much less a “bucket bunny.”

It’s hard to imagine who would take Ashley St. Clair seriously at this point. Surely even DSA members must be bright enough to realize that she’s on a revenge tour against Elon Musk for not making an honest woman out of her…

What will happen if she gets into power: -No mass deportations, unless its Ukrainian refugee applications -Infinite Jeet migration -Massive antisemitism overhaul on speech -Simp for Russia, Serbia, and Israel -Cut off remigration of Syrians because Jolani was mean to Putin/Bibi

I highly recommend the 1974 British series Fall of Eagles as well, which documents the European imperialism of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. It’s important to reconnect with these seminal periods as we are, often unwittingly, very much living in the shadow of these events.
