I disagree. I think Tito in Yugoslavia provided a better alternative.

Of course it is. But I was pointing out that this is only popular with kids on the internet who have no appreciation for the boring technical aspects of government and are just trying to find an edgy club to join. This is the political equivalent of gothic kids in high school who are super into Friedrich Nietzsche and nihilism but are not actually serious about philosophy.

I completely disagree. I drink coffee for no other reason than I love it.

Cigarettes really are pure conformity. No one would smoke unless there was a decades long marketing campaign and it was baked into the culture.

I like the recent post about tourism in Iraq. People who travel are so damn conformist, especially from America. They go to all of the well known spots, Paris, Tokyo, Berlin, etc... And that's it. Even when people visit Russia, they'll go to St. Petersburg, then Moscow, then they'll fly home. They don't want to go to the Middle East, the Balkans, Africa. I wanted to tell my closest friends that I recently found the love of my life in Montenegro, and all of the people I told this to in America had no clue what Montenegro even was, so I just tell them I was also in Serbia. I had to explain that its a country in Europe. Then they just asked me if I liked Serbian and Montenegrin food. Always food with these people, the number one question I get asked about traveling. Americans, I swear...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment Oh great, another totalitarian and completely impractical political ideology that has no mainstream appeal, no chance of getting into power, and is only active on niche corners of the internet.

I love Slavs. I'm literally next month going to fly to Montenegro for a date. My heart has been stolen and I don't want it back.

@Leo Gura Do you believe that Epstein was a pedophile? What about Donald Trump? If Trump is not a pedophile, do you think he possibly knew about Epstein's pedophilia and knowingly covered it up?

Reading the original spiral dynamics book is an utter necessity. it frames everything in an academic context as it should be understood.

"She rightfully called out the AIPAC and voted against money to Israel, foreign wars, and defense spending, is what she did. She was a brave American Congresswoman. And in this house, Marjorie Greene is a hero. End of story.”

Needs Britney Spears.

This last video about Slavs is a perfect description of the SDi PURPLE vMeme.

Its called Medieval Mindset. I love this channel because its all about how our conceptions of medieval Europe and Christians is largely wrong. Medieval Europeans had a lot going for them and did a lot of things right, things that we've completely lost and have massively screwed up in the modern world. One concrete example of this is community. Medieval villages and cities were vibrant, colorful places. One thing that shocks modern observers is that topics of loneliness never come up with anyone in medieval Europe writing about their lives of the lives of those around them. They were much more spiritually inclined, with saints and conscious mystics who wrote mystical philosophy that the scientific minds today living in urban hellholes would gawk at. Give this channel a try, its definitely worth it.

What in tarnation is a Christian Atheist ?

I revisit it every election season.

Skip to 25:33 https://www.actualized.org/insights/inside-the-mind-of-trump "I'll make a prediction right now, the stuff that's going to come out about Trump, in the years to come, in the months to come, is going to be way worse, I predict, than anything anyone has yet envisioned." "If Trump's full life, and especially all of his inner stuff, ever became fully disclosed, to people, they would be so horrified by it, even his own supporters, it would be completely inexcusable. And he would get arrested for it." -- Leo Gura, 2018 I think these predictions are coming True, particularly because of the drama surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, and Trump's aggressive downplaying of the whole situation. We see that even his own base of supporters are turning against him, because they bought into the Q-Anon-esque theory that Trump was somehow fighting the deep state pedophile elites. The GOP blocked the release of the Epstein files, but the GOP is not going to have a majority congress forever. If Trump truly has nothing to hide, like he's been insisting, then why did the GOP block the release of the Epstein files? https://x.com/TheDemocrats/status/1948413075440234729 https://x.com/TheDemocrats/status/1948178654917235094 Edit: I forgot to add, but Leo also sort of predicted January 6. In his video about the Spiral Dynamics RED vMeme, he accurately predicted that when Trump loses the election, he's going to "take the whole ship down with him", to quote Leo exactly. And that video was uploaded before January 6, 2021.

Reviving this thread after congress voted to release the Epstein files.

I'm genuinely concerned about this Epstein drama. Was our President, the one voted in by the "moral majority", a prolific sex trafficker?

Meet Zohran Mamdani: https://www.zohranfornyc.com/ He is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, and a current candidate for the Mayor of New York City. This election is significant because he managed to close the polling gap between him and Cuomo by a significant margin. He used to be behind Cuomo 30+ points in the polls and now is now behind less than 10% points in the most recent polls. Even Vaush thinks that this guy is a genuine socialist and not a social-democrat, as he wants to create more city and employee owned enterprises in NYC, such as and most notably, grocery stores. If he actually wins this, it will be a huge victory for the socialist movement in America. A member of the DSA being the mayor of one of the most iconic and economically significant cities in the world? Eugene V. Debs would be so proud. But this is precisely why all of the centrist corporate wall street Dems, and have all endorsed Cuomo, despite him being shockingly bad due to his past sex abuse scandals and corruption. Cuomo is only popular because of his name recognition, and he is very well established in the Democratic Party's corrupt senior leadership, so the dinosaurs who make up that leadership don't want to see one of their chess pieces fall. For the centrist libs, maintaining their positions of authority, enriching themselves through corruption, and serving corporate interests is more important to them than serving the poor, which is why all of the big moneyed interests have donated to Cuomo's Fix the City Super PAC, including: Billionaires: Stavros Niarchos, Alex Blavatnik, Peter Schoenfeld, Henry Swieca, Bill Ackman, Barry Diller, John B. Hess, Matt Hulsizer, Kenneth Langone, William Lauder, Daniel Loeb, Deborah Simon, Alice Walton, Dan Loeb, Glenn Dubin, and Emma Bloomberg. Other high-profile donors: Billy Joel, Michael Kors, Stacey Bendet, Beth Dozoretz, Laurie Tisch, Antonio Weiss, Abby Levy, Jessica Seinfeld, Peggy Drexler, Jill Kargman, and Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel. Corporations and Organizations: DoorDash Inc., Fisher Brothers Management Company, The Durst Organization, Halmar International, Lyft, Including RXR Acquisition Corp, Centerview Partners, Charter Communications, and SkyBridge Capital.

Zohran won, now what?

The idea is that in GTA, the player can do things in a virtual urban setting that they can’t do in a real one. That being, committing crimes and such. Technically you can do that in any urban setting, but there are consequences of course. So GTA exists to simulate that without the consequences.

I wonder how he feels about a socialist in particular being elected to this important of an office, given his past statements about socialism, and his thoughts about what this means for the future of American socialism.
