You may be wondering why immigrants hate us so much. After all, they were allowed to come to America, and prosper greatly by doing so, and a large portion of the population bent over backwards to welcome them and make them feel at home. If you don't understand realpsych, you would expect them to be grateful. But that's not how people actually work. Human beings are grateful for gifts and favors only up to the point where they feel they can no longer repay them. Once that point is passed, once a person can no longer repay his debts, then he has a choice between two narratives for understanding the rest of his life. "I am a charity recipient, not a self-sustaining human being." "I was entitled to what I took from those people, because they are bad, or weak, or horrible, or something." In other words, if you give someone too much, more than they deserve, more than they can possibly earn, they become ungrateful little swine, precisely in order to preserve their own psychological well being. And they will surround themselves with others who participate with them in that collaborative lie. Sometimes people can make entire careers out of pandering to the over-privileged and under-deserving. Careers like "publicist". Or "immigration lawyer". And they will invent an entire mythos to preserve their self-worth. They will convince themselves that thriving off undeserved gifts makes them the elite of humanity, while those whose inheritance was taken from them are some mental stereotype of drunken "Biff", who partied his way through a second rate IT school. There's just one small problem that they must handwave away or ignore if they can. Biff's great-grandparents build America into the greatest nation on Earth. Biff's grandparents won WW2. Biff's parents invented the internet, and flew astronauts to the moon. Biff's entire tribe was thriving. Otherwise there would have been nothing to give to immigrants, and no reason for them to come here. Meanwhile, all of the places that the immigrants are coming from have existed a lot longer than America, and been filled with the ancestors of those immigrants, and lots of other people who are like them in every way. They had centuries, sometimes millennia, to get their shit together and build something where they were. They didn't. They had to go live in someone else's country, for "opportunities". Of course they have to pretend that they "deserve" those "opportunities" more than the very people whose ancestors created the "opportunities" in the first place. Because otherwise they would have to admit the one thing their self-esteem could never endure.... Leaving their own nations, and their tribes, was an admission of abject failure.

I know the economic posts have been sparse lately, but we’re not getting a lot of economic news with the government shut down so, here we are, arguing social issues. But here is an interesting Econ take, and I really hope my followers think it through. You have stocks, crypto, gold, and cash all near or at ATHs. You cannot have all of these at all time highs at the same time. You can’t have so much cash on the sidelines but also have equities at all-time highs if you are purchasing equities or crypto with cash. So how is this dichotomy possible? Leverage. We know that cash can’t be levered, and most gold purchases are defensive and/or being done by large central banks, so we know that that’s not where the debt is. So what is being bought on debt? Stocks and crypto. A world of hurt is coming, bigger than 2008 or 2000, simply because the leverage has never been higher. We’re at 1929 levels of leverage, if not worse. It’s extremely concerning to be on the knife’s edge while risk-on assets are 10 miles off the ground because of borrowed money.

I've been living in Asia for six years, not the developed "Pinterest Perfect", tourist parts of East Asia, but the slums of disheveled Soviet villages, nomadic yurt encampments, and jungles known only to forgotten tribesmen. Many Americans fail to understand the following: 1. America doesn't exist a. Our nation is not ruled by our folk. It is a farm that produces obedient cattle to be milked as debt slaves. 2. "Right wing extremists" don't exist. a. Nations like Kyrgyzstan (3x times) and Nepal (last month) regularly overthrow their governments with extreme violence — burning government buildings to ash and beating government members until they force re-elections. The local people command their goverments to rule in service of their will. b. January 7th's "insurrection" and any Western "peaceful protests" are constantly brought up as jokes in every country I visit. I'm often asked if the Americans would like a "loan" of the finest local men to overcome our ownership by foreigners. c. The furthest right extremist who chants "blood and soil" would be seen as normal or moderate to everyone who surrounds me. d. These populations have a profound connection to their homelands. Their soil belongs to them thanks to the conquest of their ancestors. They exclusively honor the blood who has lived in each respective nation for hundreds of years. A mere border skirmish over a pile of dirt means immediate war (noted by Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan). 3. The entire world is being invaded by foreign populations who seek our destruction. a. Locals regularly complain of invasion by "migrants". When they find an illegal, they kill them. Dead. b. If locals don't kill them, the goverments immediately deport "illegal migrants" without question. Goverments can do this because the people command them to action. c. War is considered to be through "illegal migration" and "biowarefare" through vaccines. Everyone knows this and everyone works together to openly oppose mandates and medical tyranny. Nurses and doctors are happy to forge paperwork whenever asked to protect their clients from poison. 4. "Alphabet people" and their propaganda is nonexistent. When gays are found, locals beat them into submission and the govermment helps. For example, I know of one club that secretly hosted gay pride nights. Once the goverment found them, they were raided until everyone was eliminated. You're not extreme enough. You can't be extreme enough. Westerners collectively lost the language to be able to even communicate authentic acts of freedom, folk unity, and independence. To be "right wing" is to represent a static conservatism that has damned our folk into servitude through inability for more than one hundred years. We must restore rule to our tribe alone, the American founding stock, and return to our authentic frontier principles.

Culture used to mean literature, but now people can’t read, so culture means food.

This is what makes them so insidious, they don’t officially change things, they just wink wink nudge nudge make sure their people get what they need to pass So they water down the value of every symbol or credential I can look at a soldier and have no idea if any of his insignia or awards actually mean anything, and that’s a terrible place to be They do this same thing to the civilian world, college etc

Every CEO with a modicum of competence should submit his resume and the resumes of top performers already in the company to the HR dept (names changed). If they don't get an interview, fire the whole HR dept. There's no lack of domestic talent, just gatekeeping by morons.

The Great H1B Chimpout of Christmas 2024 led to this.

Remember: Whenever the officially demarcated victim classes of late-stage liberalism commit any crime, their motivation is always individual, specific and at most an artefact of their repression. Whenever the officially demarcated perpetrator classes do the same, their motivation and their guilt is always generalised to everyone sharing their ethnic/political identity. These rigid rules are applied again and again, whatever the facts and in the face of all countervailing evidence.

Lots of people are drawing parallels to the 1960s - political assasinations, populism, cultural division- But if so, what does it mean for markets and the economy? YouTube.com/@economicsunmask…
