Vandal

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicineโ€”generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefitsโ€”is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

This kind of damage will take 50-80 years to recover from, if it happens at all. At this rate, we don’t have a hope against China.

Reducer

When President Musk and yappy dog Trump are done, the country will be poorer and weaker. Granted.

But I’d like to point out that the country was also made worse and less hospitable for more than half the population by pervasive and unrestrained NIMBYism, which was mostly a PMC centrist-liberal movement. This has caused enormous harm to the United States and its future.

However, because the NIMBYs were and are seen to have their hearts in the right place it does not get counted among the grave errors of our age. And it really should.

They locked about half the population out of the housing market and reduced potential GDP 30-50%. And that’s a big fucking deal.

Reckon

You just know there was going to come a terrible reckoning when the liberals started claiming crazy shit like that biological sex doesn’t exist, humans have more than two sexes genetically1, that bio men belong on women’s sports teams, and that it’s wonderful for a wild-eyed vagrant to have a little sexual assault, as a treat.

And now here we are. You idiots are just as responsible for Trump and his destruction as the Project 2025 people.

Own it. Of course, I know you will not. Fucking dumbasses.

  1. Yes, intersex people and other very rare conditions do happen. But it’s not common and is absolutely not the human “model.”

Tech Out

When will this market improve? Is my career already over?

Over? Probably not. Significantly curtailed.

If you don’t have at least 10-12 years of experience, tech is not a good career now. Jobs are being shipped to India/LATAM left and right and taken over by AI. And no, no one who “matters” cares that the jobs aren’t done as well, or that Americans will suffer because of it.

Tech is being hollowed out, like other fields before it.

Herent

If I’m inherently evil, then I have no reason to even attempt to be a good person. Not an ideal outcome, right?

Luckily, I have ethics and morals apart from what anyone declares or thinks about me. But this is such a stupid thing to believe. Feminism has really screwed itself.

Done Dirty

We’ve really done Ukraine dirty. And by “we,” I mean the US, NATO and the EU. We allowed them to absorb all the Russian aggression and revanchism while providing just barely enough support to survive.

And we’ll pay for that. More specifically, the Baltics, Poland and Germany will. At least they’ll get it the worst.

Wait and see.

Leftism Left Us

I do think that allowing mass Islamic immigration was an actual leftist plot to destroy Western societies. I don’t think it was even that well-hidden. Just as they embrace Putin for similar reasons.

They didn’t even conceal it. The price is, you know, millions of women being assaulted and raped who otherwise would not have been. But no biggie, right? Not to them, I guess.

I Slam Islam

This has already happened in Germany. Letting North African1 and Islamic men immigrate en masse is a terrible, terrible mistake. Nothing good at all can ever come of that.

It has doomed Germany and it will destroy Japan if they keep it up.

  1. Yes, I know Pakistan is not in North Africa; read the sentence again.

Data Dent

My Windows Computer Just Doesn’t Feel Like Mine Anymore.

Windows is now a user-hostile ad-optimized data-thievin’ despicable disaster. The first time I saw an ad for fucking Candy Crush in Windows I vowed to never use it for my main OS again.

Watching Microsoft shills (some of whom are not even being paid — now that’s sad!) try to sell us on this like a two-bit carnival barker has been quite the amusing experience. But if you tell people some harmful change is made for “security,” they’ll believe just about any outlandish thing.
