Christ is the only exit from this world;
all other exits—sexual rapture,
political utopia, economic independence—
are but blind alleys in which rot the corpses
of the many who have tried them.

Normalizing fornicating turned the top 10% of men into the equivalent of Roman emperors. Biggest bait and switch on women ever.
The purpose of House Dems targeting Elon is to build the narrative for something even worse.
1. Prosecution of him if they take power in 2029.
2. Vilifying a hero of capitalism in order to impose pseudo-communism.
3. Making the case that the system as run by GOP is irredeemably corrupt and must be overturned.
Elon will need an entire sophisticated operation to defend him. This is not a job to figure out as we go.
And defense of Elon is defense of our entire system. He’s the fulcrum.

The GOP logic that Republicans have a moral obligation to vote for Republicans who act like Democrats and advance Democrat agendas to stop the Democrats is dizzying and intellectually insulting.

We've seen this movie before, it's a very common attempt to manipulate the voter pool.
Phase 1: Bogus polls put the Democrat way ahead during most of the run-up in an attempt to demoralize Republican voters.
Phase 2: Bogus polls are allowed to tighten to a very narrow D lead just before the election. An honest poll would show a huge R lead.
Phase 3: Ballot fraud steals the election. The purpose of the bogus polls was to supply top cover for the fraud.
It's a tale as old as time.
Texas polls converging on much smaller Talarico leads than they showed a month ago. From 5-7 point leads down to just 1-3 points.
Either the massive Paxton rescue effort is working, or the Talarico leads were always BS.
Regardless, in a tie race in the polls, I'd probably rather be Paxton based on Texas fundamentals.

My opinion is that most men generally should spend at least a year as a monastic to learn spiritual discipline, since it's the 'mother life skill' underpinning literally everything else successful in life
Two issues here, and they seem paradoxical but they're not: Firstly, the "create a star" ecosystem already exists on 'the Right', and secondly this ecosystem is a tightly controlled barbed wire locked ghetto where no one, and i mean NO ONE, is allowed prominence without permission.
The astroturfing pipeline started with talk radio and Fox news in the 90s: a very large quantity of people, tens of millions, became a very loyal audience for almost anything in opposition to the MSM.
If you cater to them, they will come: Salem, Sinclair, Anschutz, Herring, Premiere (i.e. iHeartMedia), Newsmax, Blaze, DailyWire, Drudge/Breitbart, and others charged into the space like a gold rush.
It's important to know that the masters of this universe are the exact same people (both directly and tribally) who control the "main stream" media. Editorial (i.e. product) decisions are made by corporate boards owned by the same people who own Disney, Hearst, NBCUniversal, News Corp, Warner, etc. with the same motivations.
Now onto the ghettoization: Since a captive and loyal market is a critical asset, controlling access to that market becomes an exercise in rentier gatekeeping. So we get manufactured (and ONLY manufactured) content designed solely to maintain outrage and outrage-driven revenue.
If there's any degree of true virality in a right-leaning product, they come to you offering the carrot or the stick: you take their money and they own you, or you get crushed. Ask Cernovich about how the ENTIRE Right media complex refused to promote his groundbreaking documentary Hoaxed because he told them 'no'.. they wouldn't even let him buy advertising in some cases.
LITERALLY EVERY right-leaning media personality, including those on social media, including those who are seemingly truely viral like the current hotness, Nick Shirley, is manufactured, even if they're doing good and real work. (I could go on for an hour about how exactly right wing social media virality works, even down to specific people and teams). Every single one. Candace? yep. Benny? 100%. Hell.. Tomi Lahren.. her too.. literally everyone. No exceptions, even some I know personally and know well are fully productized and they'll privately admit it.
What does that have to do with supposedly non-political content and platforms like youtube? Google is a special (In-Q-Tel) beast in many ways, but even the Blob (i.e. Swamp, Uniparty, Media, etc) has factions and those factions still influence each other as they compete.
Like I said, the people who control the "Right" media are the exact same people, both directly and tribally, as the "mainstream" media. Not only is it profitable to maintain an artificial 'other', it's also profitable to deny or at least gatekeep that 'other' access to other resources you also control so you can maintain their loyalty at least via terror. This is why they burned down DailyWire and Jeremy Boreing for daring to try breaking out of their paradigm.
It's also why, much like Democrat politicians like Talafreako, 'they' seek out and promote broken people who will behave badly and in ways they can compromise later. Again: Candace, Benny, Ashley St Clair, Boreing, Ali Alexander, Bannon, Sarah Stock, Elijah Schaffer, Laura Loomer and on and on and on.
I hope I've been coherent enough for you to follow along. I could go on for hours more and deeper into specifics.
But I'll relay a story I witnessed: years ago, I, entirely by circumstance, sat at a restaurant booth incidentally next to David Keane (now dead, then head of CPAC) and a specific Fox News personality where they offered some pharma company what we would call today 'viral' media services for whatever reason. I have no idea if that followed through, but that behavior eventually cost him his job at CPAC and he had to move over to the NRA (who has far, far fewer scruples).
This has been going on a long time, and nothing you see in ANY media can genuinely be trusted, especially the faces bringing it to you.

Corneliu Codreanu is truly one of a kind.

“There's no one Holy Father you can read to get the whole teaching of Christianity, because many Holy Fathers express different points of view, different aspects. And the whole of the Fathers contain the wisdom of the tradition. And modern historians would like to say that one contradicts the other and so forth, but if, once you enter into the Orthodox spirit you see that one rather compensates for the other. And there's a marvelous harmony in all the writings of the Holy Fathers.” - St. Seraphim Rose

This is the doom I predicted a few days ago, coming for Photoshop. A clean-room open-source reimplementation.
No prizes for guessing that they decompiled Photoshop to source code, processed that to some kind of non-code specification language, then fed the spec to an LLM with an instruction to generate Rust.
Adobe just got nuked. And closed source is dead, dead, dead.

This. And with Telegram lost also (to the French of all people. Embarassing). We won't even have that to fall back to

Let's look at facts, Erick.
1. "Principled conservatives" have so far been unable to stop Woke Left race-based politics.
2. "Principled conservatives" have caved to the Woke Left mobs so frequently that many of us began to wonder whose side you're actually on.
3. "Principled conservatives" don't have a feasible plan, not even a concept of a plan, to stop the Woke Left. If you had one, you'd be stopping them.
4. "Principled conservatives" now dedicate more time to stopping the "Woke Right" than they do the Woke Left. Right wing identity politics is a direct result of Conservative Inc.'s incompetence and fecklessness (to be gracious; collusion is the alternative).
5. "Principled conservatives" are too dense to understand that a race-blind meritocracy only works when race-blindness is a trait of the dominant culture. The Woke Left destroyed that when they eroded the dominant culture.
6. "Principled conservatives" must believe, despite what basic reasoning can tell you, that they can rebuild a race-blind center with people who are inherently not race-blind and whose ethnic- and racial-consciousness is part of their core identity.
These principles of "principled conservatives" have been tested against the Left for the past 20 years. The state of this country shows you how crushing their defeat has been, and how abjectly clueless they continue to be.
What this guy doesn't realize and @JackPosobiec and @Cernovich do is that the corruption is the foundation of the movement and has been for decades. Whatever gets accomplished happens in spite of the Griftgeist and always has. Getting pissy does no good. You have to work with what you got.
What Poso and Cerno are both responding to right now is the TOTAL SPINELESSNESS of the RW influencersphere. I saw this coming when the dorkiest shittiest voices were suddenly elevated as if they deserved leadership positions for Spenglerposting behind a screen for 2 decades, then jumping late on the MAGA bandwagon. You elevate cowards you will have a spineless movement that doesn’t have the backbone or immune system to resist being corrupted. Talking points shills “guiding their followers”… yeah guiding them into the garbage. And now whoops suddenly the GOP is completely uncool again and making ads sh*tting on white guys that would make 2006 cringe and everyone is going to Israel to preach on stage about how the Conservatives are Going To Win Back America™. Sitting around hand wringing about oh just maybe you know maybe America is more than an idea, more than economic zone country to be raped and pillaged, but you know let’s not be racist because that’s against our investors’ wishes. Pathetic. It is completely Joever. The ret*rds won.
