That term originates with Yarvin? I thought it was a Michael Malice thing, but he is friends with Yarvin so that makes sense.

Yeah it was originally Moldbug's metaphor for how a decentralized conspiracy works

 

[Mister Fister]

they're also terrified, as in legitimately scared to death, of what happens to them if the people they have consigned to the 'wrong side of history' actually take power.
what the libs have done over the past few decades goes WAY beyond what you do to a political opponent, it has crossed into the territory of what you do to a mortal enemy. they know this, and they are currently witnessing in horror that more and more people on the other side are slowly waking up and becoming aware of the fact that the left has essentially treated them as a mortal enemy and tried to bring about their extinction.
if that realization fully sets in, and if the people who realize this manage to achieve real power, then there will be a real reckoning with serious retribution.
this looming threat scares the absolute shit out of leftists, and it's the main reason why some of them are falling into hysteria and panic mode.

Call a lib Anti-White and watch them squirm.

You can think whatever you want, but calling it the 'cathedral' is an entirely accurate description.

Cathedrals are buildings, friend. If you think it fits thematically, then say so. Don't pretend that it's merely a matter of factual accuracy to say that CNN is part of a cathedral.

Oh, it's worse than that. They aren't afraid of retribution, i.e. violence. They are afraid that they won't have the comfy socialite sinecures they expected and will have to get real jobs, a health insurance plan, and a mortgage like the rest of us. They won't go down as heroes, revolutionaries, or any of the theater kid bullshit they made up in their stupid little heads. They will not get a Wikipedia article, they will not write a memoir, and they will not be important. They will be nobodies.

Why do you think the media salivates every time they think there's a right-wing person trying to kill left-wing people? They wanted that Minnesota shooter to be politically motivated. They wanted January 6 to be A Thing™. It's all because these people want some reason to justify their own violence so they can either fight da powah (read: get illegals, college kids, and black people to die for them while they proclaim themselves Heroes of the Revolution) or martyr themselves.

When the other side just wins fair and square at politics, administration, and the judiciary - lock, stock, and barrel - they maintain legitimacy and public order. The liberals can't start a fight because they are cowards and they know open rebellion will not play well on cameras. I remember when the limousine liberals were basically goading non-RINO conservatives to do something during Obama's second term and then during Biden. Instead, the conservatives beat them at their own stupid game and they know it.

The White House/Pentagon are official institutions with many employees. The "Cathedral" is a term for a loose collection of ideologically aligned institutions. The White House has a press secretary, "The Cathedral" does not. The Pentagon acts as a unified entity in its public statements. "The Cathedral" does not. What a shitty analogy.

Really makes you think.

The left chooses to believe that the typical Trump voter is married to former members of Iranian special forces—while also being racist, Christian and anti-immigrant.

Sorry, I have to go. The baby is kicking and ICE arrested Muhammad again.

You know it sad in sense, NYC is one of the oldest And cities in America , hell nyc served as the first capital of America. And now we have this worm of a man who’s on track to be the new mayor of nyc and his biggest problems have nothing to do with the city itself and instead has crap to do with the an ethic blood war halfway across the world. At this point democracy has done more harm to this country than good. At what point does we realize that it is a failed experiment that should’ve gone the way of the dinosaurs.

Thom Tillis will not seek reelection in 2026 lol

Who paid him to nuke his political career just to spite Trump? Literally all he had to do was say "yes" to removing child mutilation from medicaid and uncucking the HPA/Short act to all but guarantee re-election.
There is no way any philosophy is behind this move other than someone writing him a check to be a complete faggot.

It's a colloquialism that serves as a linguistic catch-all for the way in which many different and officially disconnected institutions all seem to be on the same page about everything in a way that is suspicious.

You can argue that it's a stupid word, that it's imprecise, and we can go into the weeds about it all day, but it does serve a purpose that most people understand. It is how people convey that people like Mark Milley seem indistinguishable in public from people like Barack Obama.

Is there a si gel country that has honestly benefited from decolonization?

China, those fuckers got their shit in gear PRONTO
I present for your consideration and posterity,

China In The 21st Century: A Quick And Sobering Glance At China's Current Peacetime Production
​

So China as a "modern state" more or less officially starts in 1949 and is when its considered to be "decolonized" cause remember, the Japanese invaded china under the pretext of "hey if they are going to be colonized its better to be colonized by Asians, so the 1936 and onward war there was a war of colonization although its often forgot.

So 76 years removed THIS YEAR, not even 1 lifetime, bear that in mind as you read the following, feel free to fact check, but It was all revealed to me in a dream so good luck fighting that source.

So now they make 50% of the worlds ships

A third of ALL textiles, text closest country is at 6%

They make a third of all the WORLDS electronics

They make a third of the WORLDS cars

And make more than a third of the WORLDS telecommunications

50% of just Americas critical medical supplies

but 40% of the WORLDS APIs, not netcode, active pharmaceutical ingredients

42% of GLOBAL HVAC sales

over a quarter of the WORLDS heavy industrial farming equipment

over a third of the WORLDS plumbing supplies



So yea, you can say population numbers or whatever, but thats crazy impressive and kinda scary that we let that happen regardless.

Apparently he has only visited western NC twice since Helene. He cares more for the uniparty swamp then for his own state (not that that is unique among congresscritters)

Barbados is doing great. For all its foibles, the UK did a much better job leaving its former territories in a workable state than any other former empire.

[Day of the Cope]

Since people are still sperging about porn, I feel like I might as well add my two cents:

There are a million and one options for handling the issue to prevent children from seeing adult content that don't require linking yourself to an internet database that is treated about as serious as a mall cop. However, every other option that isn't "please, bid daddy gubmint, do everything for me" requires people to actually do something to raise their fucking kids.

If you want to argue about how porn has negative effects and shouldn't be seen by children, than I'll wait for you to finish tying your shoes so you can catch up with everyone else. But if you actually cared about the health, safety, and well-being of the future generation, you'd actually start shaming parents for letting their kids gawk into a smartphone while eating their chicken nuggets.

I never said I disliked or disagreed with the term. All I said was that saying "The Cathedral is an accurate descriptor for this worldwide collection of varying institutions" is a bit of a reach. If you like the term, then use it. But don't pretend that it's simply an "accurate" label for what is clearly not a Cathedral by any definition.

Another GOPe down.

Tillis will pick his replacement, who may be the one who wins the Republican primary.

China

You are right that China's rise is meteoric, but they weren't really ever "colonized." Europeans set up special districts (e.g. Hong Kong) and other powers took territory, but it was not colonized like India was, for example.

I never said I disliked or disagreed with the term. All I said was that saying "The Cathedral is an accurate descriptor for this worldwide collection of varying institutions" is a bit of a reach.

Fair enough.

Saying democracy is a problem when all the problems you have with it arise from the non-democratic aspects is like saying private transportation is a problem because public transportation is trash. That fifthly fucking jeet commie would not even be a citizen of the US if it wasn't for a host of fucking non-democratic shit forced on us.
