There is no Right. There is just “not the Left.” Being on the Right today is the same as being a Protestant in the 16th century: No one agrees on anything, they just know they’re not Catholic.

I don’t want anyone other than Afrikaners into the West.
Stupid people don’t know they are being forced into a dialectic designed to lead them into certain foreign policy choices. Hence why you’re allowed to say “Islam is not compatible with the West,” yet not allowed to oppose third world mass migration.

Say whatever it takes to stop this from happening to your country Do whatever it takes to stop this from happening to your country Let them call you whatever they like, the survival of your nation is more important than mean words
“Well at least we’re not racists.”

The only defense ever offered by the murderous Bantus is "well, we kill each other too, because we're criminals and barbarians, this is just how we behave, so why are you complaining that we also kill white people?" They refer to their own murderous nature as their defense.

The Rhodesian Bush War lasted 15-16 years, with thousands of African terrorists actively hunting down White civilians and trying to kill them at all times. This resulted in perhaps about 450-500 deaths. The Remigration Now list below is incomplete, and they’ve only just started, and yet the civilian death toll in Britain is already almost double (in reality maybe 5x or more) that of Rhodesia, during peacetime. We are in a one-sided race war, and the Whites are being told it isn’t happening whilst they have their hands tied behind their backs. If they fight back, their lives are ruined forever.
We now have 822 names on the Remigration Now memoriam list. All of these people were murdered by immigrants.

Teaching in the age of LLMs: I failed 4 students, for the first time ever. I also gave more A+'s than ever before. In previous years, students realized after the first or second HW that they weren't in Kansas anymore and needed to work hard. No more. Just solve it with LLMs. But then the midterm arrives, and they can answer 0 of 40 questions. Do they reform their ways? Nah, they just decide to "give up" on class, assuming they'll get a B, or a C, or whatever, because they submitted HW and got decent grades on those. And never before have they encountered a professor who will dare fail them. The flip side is that the most "agentic" students now have the world's best tutor at their disposal. They deeply understand the material and aced my (intentionally very difficult) exams. As if we live in "The Diamond Age". Inequality galore. From my vantage point, "the permanent underclass" appears to be about agency, not assets.

Horrifying. Hope nobody uses it and it fails miserably.

Literally the opposite. Anti socialist sentiment comes from a belief in free will; it’s the rational man who understands he must work for everything… that only he can think for himself. That his life depends on rational action. Socialism denies free will, reason, the necessity of work and independence. And replaces human nature with a perpetual infant.

Nothing’s more frustrating than trying to explain to your left-leaning friends that their entire worldview is based on a series of well funded scams.
What are the odds those tiki torch carrying neo-Nazis from Charlottesville would only rally once? Feels like it was an American intel op against Trump. That’s my working assumption.

Farm murders in South Africa are not organic. Under the glare of international attention, they fell to a 36-yr low. Nobody believes that disgruntled farmworkers or common thieves care about international attention. So who does?

It’s because “Liberalism” forgot why it once won. Liberalism didn’t conquer the West because it was weak. It conquered because it was stronger than what came before it. Pretty standard stuff really. > It rewarded merit over inheritance > It scaled power through industry, not bloodlines > It outproduced its rivals > It outorganized them > It outlasted them It didn’t start out soft. It was ruthless albeit in a different language. That system didn’t ask for permission. It imposed outcomes. And it worked. We see the proof. So well, in fact, that it removed the very pressures that created it. > No existential threat > No scarcity worth fearing > No rival capable of forcing adaptation Victory changed the environment. And the system adapted… poorly. Very poorly. > Strength became suspicious > Borders became negotiable > Cohesion became “exclusion” > Self-interest became “selfishness” The traits that built dominance were reframed as moral failures. Not by enemies. By itself!!!! This is the part people miss. Liberalism didn’t fall because it was always weak. It drifts because it forgot what it was for. > It kept the language of power but lost the will to use it > It kept the institutions yet hollowed out their purpose > It kept the structure yet replaced the incentives That’s how sovereign power gets shattered into a thousand pieces. Not just through conquest but through fragmentation. A system still running… selecting for the wrong things. > Comfort over competence > Process over outcome > signaling over survival And when that happens, something fills the space. Not because it’s better, but because it’s WILLING. Think Islam. That’s the “ghost on the throne” you speak of. Not a person but a vacuum. And vacuums never last because nature abhors them. TLDR: A system that forgets how it won will eventually face something that hasn’t.
If Liberalism is so weak and susceptible to subversion, how did it even come to dominate the Western world in the first place? How was sovereign power able to be shattered into a thousand little pieces? Why was a ghost placed upon the throne of every Western nation?

A lot of what we assume was created through legal process was just made up by the victors The Constitution wasn't legally ratified under the Articles of Confederation Judicial review doesn't exist in the Constitution the Supreme Court just made it up The 14th Amendment was "ratified" under military occupation in the South after Lincoln dumped half the constitution in the toilet Nobody cares, most of this stuff is celebrated at this point You can just ignore the courts, if you win no one will care

6 years ago, the biggest crime syndicate in South Africa locked us in our homes. What was supposed to be 21 days became more than 2 years. They sent police and soldiers into our streets with rifles and shotguns. They destroyed livelihoods, tore families apart and left children to starve. And while the country suffered, they looted. Funds meant for the sick and hungry were stolen by wealthy politicians who claimed to be “saving lives”. Ordinary South Africans were treated like criminals. Over 400,000 people were arrested. Citizens were beaten, publicly humiliated, and even killed. The elderly and disabled were blasted with water cannons while trying to access social grants. And if you refused a medical procedure with no long-term data, you were punished. You lost your job. You were ostracised. You were treated as less than human. One of the most severe abuses of state power in our recent history. A violation of fundamental human rights. No one charged. No one jailed. No one even apologised.

People are always asking me what they can do: 1. Ignore MSM and reduce time on social media. 2. Spend less on goods and services of large companies. 3. Speak out to convert more people. 4. Act locally, however, and wherever you can. 5. Recover meaning, love and agency, the hollowing out of which are a cause of our predicament.
