I am serious when I say that if you're not willing to gouge someone's eyes out to save your life then you've got no chance in the world that's coming.

I want to show you something.
A peek into the programming.
What does it mean to be Iranian? Will you reduce the Iranian people to the color of their skin? Are we at war with Iran because Iranians are ”brown”?
Of course not. You understand immediately that “Iranian” identifies something historically and culturally particular and tied to a homeland. Not a skin color.
But in this discussion, you hear “white” and suddenly you only think skin color.
My brother in Christ, if you’re white and reading this, you are white.
Are you more than your skin color?
Of course you are.
You cannot answer, “Well, I'm a Christian and a citizen of heaven.” That’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about earthly things. Your heavenly citizenship no more abolishes your earthly peoplehood than it abolishes your family. But such an answer is part of the problem because the implication is either that it doesn't mean anything to be white or that it doesn't matter.
“White” itself is not a nation. Englishmen, Irishmen, Frenchmen, Italians are not one interchangeable people merely because they’re white.
But neither did these peoples cease to possess ancestry because someone classified them all as “white.”
When I say “white” the emphasis is not merely on the color of the skin. I’m talking about descent - about the particular people from whom I came, their history, their memory, their culture, their place.
Race, people, nation, and citizenship are not interchangeable categories. But neither are they unrelated.
White people exist.
European peoples exist.
And those peoples are no more reducible to pigmentation than anyone else.
We’ve been taught to perform that reduction on ourselves.
“Why can’t white Christians have a nation?” Before asking what white, people, or nation even means, many respond:
“The question itself is sinful!”
Why?
If other peoples may remember their ancestors, cherish their inheritance, preserve their culture, love their homeland, and desire continuity between generations, why does that become wicked when European peoples do it?
“The question itself is sinful!”
Stop reducing white identity to the color of our skin.
The elites don't want you to know this, white boy, but you can just remember who you are.
Deprogram.
I love the whole "Malfoid" thing, I really do. And i'm not even the target audience. I've enjoyed writing it, and its totally unleashed my muse.
I've been thinking about why the whole Malfoid fanfiction phenomenon is doing so ridiculously well, and I think I've figured something out.
Men are absolutely STARVING for good romance. Plenty of women, too, I guess.
Not pornography. Not harems. Not some elaborate sexual power fantasy. Romance.
Two people who who are confused by their feelings, who make mistakes, who struggle to understand one another, and who slowly, awkwardly, sometimes painfully fall in love.
You know. That thing human beings have been doing to each other for thousands of years. In story form.
Somewhere along the way, the publishing industry decided that men don't like romance. (xitter.cf/ShamashAran/status/210…) The alternatives everyone's been offered for the past couple of decades have been, to put it delicately, a radioactive dumpster fire.
On one side, you've got male-oriented harem fantasies where every woman within a fifty-mile radius is aching for a sexual encounter, in graphicly written detail.
On the other, you've got the darker corners of romantasy, where the height of romantic fulfillment involves being kidnapped, abused (physically, mentally, or both) or literally raped by a seven-foot-tall monster with the emotional maturity of a malfunctioning garbage disposal.
I'm sitting here thinking: CAN TWO PEOPLE JUST FALL IN LOVE WITHOUT SOMEBODY GETTING RAPED OR DEVELOPING A HAREM?
Apparently that's too much to ask.
This brings me back to Malfoid. Here's a huge set of stories written by many different folks, about two fundamentally decent people, raised in very different worlds, struggling with their feelings, their prejudices, their loyalties, and their expectations. Neither is perfect. Neither always knows what they're doing. Sometimes they're absolute idiots.
They have something, and we get to watch it develop in story form.
The romance isn't about sexual conquest or domination. It's about vulnerability, trust, affection, and the terrifying realization that another human being has become extraordinarily important to you.
And people are eating it up. Which brings me to my theory.
Malfoid has caused a false vacuum decay in the quantum field of romantic literature.
For decades, we've been trapped in a metastable state where the publishing industry insists that men don't want romance, and male readers have been conditioned to believe there isn't any romance worth reading. Now, comes along comes a wholesome little love story about two emotionally constipated school-age British wizards, and suddenly the entire field collapses into a new, lower-energy vacuum state.
The resulting energy release is absolutely catastrophic. Instead of gamma radiation annihilating the universe, we're getting seventeen metric gigatons of YEARNING.
Turns out men didn't hate romance.
They just wanted something worth falling in love with.

This is what AI is made for. Murtaugh is too old for this 💩 and Riggs has to find a new partner. I absolutely love how they brought in every character from that era and even combined two different characters for one actor in a couple different scenes. 🤣🤣🤣💥🔫

Show us pictures of some of these “reckless visitors.” I have a hypothesis.

Many of my followers are saying, "We're 6-0! Nothing needs to change!"
I take the exact opposite approach: *Because* the Vikings are 6-0, they need to make a change at quarterback.
It's time for the Vikings' experiment with Kyler Murray to end.
The Vikings have the league's best defense and best special teams. Those occurrences don't happen often and almost never simultaneously.
Meanwhile, the Vikings offense is among the league's worst, if not the worst. Its 10 touchdowns are the fewest by a 6-0 team in 94 years, the first year after the forward pass was legalized in the NFL. During Minnesota's 11-game winning streak, kicker Will Reichard has contributed more points than the offense, defense, and returners combined.
The Vikings rank 29th in passing yards and 31st in touchdowns scored (thanks, Titans!).
Today's Vikings offense is very unlikely to run the gauntlet of playoff teams to reach the Super Bowl. Minnesota will almost certainly squander this generational opportunity if they don't improve their quarterback play. And they may frustrate Justin Jefferson enough to lose him in the offseason.
There was offseason optimism that Kevin O'Connell could work some magic on Murray to revive a career on life support. But Murray's sample size has grown big enough to draw firm conclusions. The Minnesota version of Kyler Murray isn't different from the version in Arizona last year when he was benched for Jacoby Brissett.
On Sunday, Murray had all of his weapons healthy and faced a battered Colts defense missing three cornerbacks, including Sauce Gardner. Murray completed 14 passes for 150 yards and 1 score.
The only positives for Murray are his lack of interceptions and his periodic scrambles for first downs. But that's not nearly enough to balance the scales against his passing deficiencies.
Can we hope that Kyler Murray improves? I guess, but I'm reminded of the axiom, "Hope is not a strategy."
Carson Wentz represents a minor upgrade over Murray, but not enough to win a Super Bowl, even with a great defense.
It's not easy to improve the quarterback position during the season. But it's not impossible. The Giants appear to have just done it.
Nolan Teasley should be hesitant to spend the draft capital he'll want next April--his first NFL draft as general manager. But he should also realize that the 2026 Vikings are in a remarkable position that simply requires functional play from its quarterback.
It appears there's no single super-power team in the NFL. The 2026 Vikings have a real chance to reach the Super Bowl, but only if they find a quarterback to hoist the offense out of the cellar.

The church only does this type of thing with black people, I’ve seen it first hand.
But when my fiancée and I have been struggling with the US Visa system for a year (she’s a White and from Australia) the most help I got from the people in my church was “we will pray for you.”
