To be fair, he says literally nothing. But that's also the problem with these "explain" or "analysis" videos. They just regurgitate clear things you could google and then make a milquetoast comment at most. Click on a video game video essay and it'll be 50 minutes of a zoomer just explaining the plot.

This just shows that kids these days don't have teachers anymore who tell them doing a summary and trying to pass it as an essay is retarded. Zero critical thinking.

My main issue is he says DOGE cut US-AID, instead of U-S-A-I-D and clarify what it is. I think its kind of an important distinction to make. As you said it shows the lack of critical thinking and absence of actual research.

USAID is just a new scapegoat for why they are totally shackled by whitey. Like you said, America has been dealing with subversion for a long time too. The media, education, everything has been infiltrated and subverted. The NGO corruption ring runs deep here. Flooding our country with more illegals than anything Europe has experienced. The nest is here. The nest didn't come from nothing. It came from the communist euro centric subversion. Guess what? We're killing it. We stood up and voted and fought through to get to this point. And now the people we elected are going over and standing up for them over here, and they still make long posts blaming America and how dey dindu nuffin.

They're still thinking in terms of nation-states as primary actors, when that hasn't been the case for decades. The primary actors are a disconnected leadership class broken up into factions vying for their own self-interests, with the interests of host nation-states as distant considerations at best. Granted, it's not a new phenomenon, but the increasing interconnectedness and complexity of of the world has accelerated it.

We understand, and this site has thoroughly documented, the self-destructive degeneracy that results when you give standard perverts the ability to form insulated communities. Give that ability to the rootless cosmopolitans with actual resources to call on? You get civilizational entropy at scale.

Part of the reason they seethe so hard about Trump, and populism in general, is that they don't want to have to care about the well being of their countrymen. They resent even the effort of appearing to care. That doesn't get them the status they crave. The US, in their view, is not a nation; it is a tax farm. The funding came from USAID only because the US happened to have the money.

In general even with the negative messaging for both sexes, I think many people are just bad at picking partners, bad at compromise, bad at not being themselves early on so each party truly knows who they're getting, and in the age of social media it's easy to be inundated with so much shit to compare yourself and your relationship to that it adds even more acid to dissolve that relationship. You have to remember, kiwi reading this, that you may know intuitively social media is doctored and showing but a glimpse even if it isn't outright fake, but people other than yourself are really fucking stupid.

When the history holograms are filmed, letting people get atomized to the point where they depended on dating apps to create the next generation will be seen as a mistake right up there with the Romans poisoning themselves with lead plumbing. Marriage and birth rates were higher in the past because there were guardrails, rooted in the fundamentals of human nature, that gave even idiots a fair shot to make it work. Fixing this will not be a RETVRN to the way things were, but rebuilding the guardrails in light of the new environment.

It's pretty insane how quickly things can change. I know it's sort of a meme-y silly goofy thing, but the "vibe shift" has been intense. I seen a fellow up there talking about a bar full of people just went full on AMERICA FUCK YEAH over some hockey. The superbowl halftime show was more "look at this faggotry, this lost at teh ballot box" instead of it feeling like we were getting our face rubbed in it. Trump, Vance and cabinet just roasting these fucking journos, Ap getting told to get in line or get that ass banned.

Just as i'm typing this shit, judge refuses to halt the DOGE stuff, and it was the same judge that tried to fuck over trump, chutney or whatever.

That's comedy in general, these days.

I can't think of an actual comedy focused movie within the last decade; not Marvel comedy. Stand up is all shit as no one wants to push comedic boundaries. Comedy in general has felt dead.

Western Europe is turning into a caliphate. every other day a muzzy drives a car into a crowd, every major city is now an ethnic hellhole with rampant crime and fucking rape gangs that operate with impunity and if you criticize it you're going to jail for a longer time than the rapists if they get charged. even in places you wouldn't think like Sweden there were 30+ bombings in January alone. so very comfy.

should we be on Putin's side? no, we shouldn't be on either side. Europe is dead, whether it's run by despots in Moscow or despots in brussels is irrelevant, neither care about the people of Europe. I view them as equally evil and a lot of young men across the western world seem to agree since every time the Euros threatening to institute a draft the response is almost unanimously "I'm not dying for for this fucking country".

so what you're saying is that it's a lot like Russia except the people still have an exceedingly high amount of wealth compared to the average Russian

This has the potential to be the biggest fraud in US history. If DOGE's numbers are right, $522B—1/3 of ALL spending on Social Security each year—is fraudulent.

Here's my math:

According to DOGE data, 20.7M people 100+ years old are receiving Social Security. But there are *at most* 101k living centenarians (Census says 101k, UN estimates 80k).

The average monthly benefit is around $2,100. $2,100 * 12 * 20.6M =$522B per year.

If this has been going on for 10 years, that's $5 trillion of wasted money.

I really hope this data is incorrect, because otherwise this is the biggest financial crime in American history by several orders of magnitude.

This doesn't include the potential fraud from fake beneficiaries below age 100 (e.g., people in their 70s/80s/90s). By my math and adjusting for a normalized age distribution, this could bring the total amount of fraud to $793B per year.

I hate comedians larping as historians. I have no clue why Shane Gillis is supposed hailed as a savior of comedy, but he feels like Bill Burr. Some mildly funny white guy who’s being astroturfed.

Most “comedians” are painfully unfunny. Then again I don’t really find normie humor funny in the slightest. Will Ferrell is a pretty egregious example. Every time I hear his voice I wanna stab a sharp object into my ears.
