You can either have a first-world, high-trust society with effective social welfare programs. Or you can have third-world mass immigration. But you can't have both.

Prison cells built during the Spanish Civil War were designed as “psycho-technical” torture chambers inspired by the work of surrealist painter Salvador Dali and abstract artists Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, among others. The Military Information Service of the Spanish Republican Army contracted Alphonse Laurencic, a French citizen of Slovenian heritage to design the cells, meant to hold known or suspected Nationalists who were aligned with General Franco’s fascist forces. Laurencic was an artist, musician, and architect as well as an anarchist and member of the National Confederation of Workers. The cells were built inside Catholic churches by forced laborers who first stripping out all religious iconography before construction. The jails were called ‘Chekas’ in honor of the original Soviet secret police organization because the USSR was providing support to the Republican government at the time. At least three Chekas were built between 1937 and 1939, in the Santa Úrsula convent in Valencia and the churches on Vallmajor and Zaragoza streets in Barcelona. The tiny beds were tilted at 20-degree angles so that prisoners would slide off onto the floor if they ever fell asleep, and some rooms had a very high, angled chair which was impossible to sit on. The floors themselves were covered with a random pattern of standing bricks meant to keep the prisoner from walking or lying down. Green and red flashing lights would wear them down mentally, and the walls were painted with geometric patterns intended to provoke dizziness and visual discomfort. Prisoners could also hear an amplified metronome which moved at varying speeds and were kept within sight of a clock that ran too fast, all to further disorient them. After General Franco’s forces claimed victory over the Republicans, the new government put Laurencic on trial in front of a military tribunal, and he was executed in 1939. His work on the prison cells was largely unknown for more than 60 years, until art historian Jose Milicua uncovered a document summarizing Laurencic’s trial. #spain #civilwar #surrealism #modernism #bauhaus

John Carpenter says nobody has figured out the ending of The Thing correctly yet "Every idea that people have is not the right one, I know the right one... no one has guessed it" xitter.cf/AcademyMuseum/status/2…

When I first started sexual energy transmutation a few years ago i didn’t even know I was doing it I was just retaining I gave up porn and casual sex cold turkey It was around one of the most chaotic times of my life I was quite fed up with life and the situation I was in I knew I wanted more, but didn’t know how to access it Sure enough, this increase in energy I got from retaining started lashing out at everything in my life that wasn’t aligned My job My habits My environment I became increasingly more and more frustrated, anxious, and resentful with myself when I didn’t do what I knew I needed to do Simply because I wasn’t giving the energy the outlets it needed to continue to expand I couldn’t depend on sexual outlets anymore So instead I turned to the gym and that was about it After enough time I got so fed up with my 9-5 that I quit and started a side hustle Sure enough that was the only thing I needed In 6 months I 6x’ed my income from the job Moved across country Financial freedom Started traveling And the rest is history It was over a year later that I learned what sexual energy transmutation even was Then it all made sense And I started to incorporate real techniques to what I was doing instead of just guessing my way through But sure enough, that one decision changed the course of my life And it can for you to

Spare me the pearl-clutching — especially from Republican Members of Congress and online MAGA grifters who have cheered President Trump's weaponization of the government against those he doesn’t like, as recently as last week. This is a subject I know something about: Less than a year ago, Trump directed the DOJ and FBI to investigate me, and then tried to criminally indict me for a 90 second video, exercising basic free speech. The same free speech you’re exercising now, lying about what I said in this clip. If not for an anonymous group of grand jury members standing up for America's laws, I’d be criminally indicted for sedition. President Trump has turned the government against people, with raucous support from you and virtually all D.C. Republicans. So spare us the manufactured outrage. America must be a place where the rule of law still matters. Those laws should apply to everyone equally. If you have aided in the corrupt use of U.S. taxpayer dollars to benefit the President or his family, or you have violated the law in order to carry out guidance from the President, you should be held accountable. And given how rampant that corruption appears to the average American, people looking to work for his Administration should realize that while the Supreme Court has granted the President immunity, it has not done the same for those who do illegal things at his behest.

NOW - Macron addresses the nation, calling for order and says that the youth of France are "expressing great anguish and concern about the future... we need to pay heed to what they are saying and we must not minimise the hardships that they are facing."

They say a job gives people dignity and self-respect. That’s possible. I can see that. I didn’t see it when I worked in corporate, where grown-ass adult coworkers got reprimanded like kids, begged for permission to take time off, or clapped like seals at town hall meetings, kissing ass, all just to avoid losing their jobs. Dignity and self-respect in full display lol

This has nothing to do with immigration you massive piece of shit

What’s happening in Paris and Milan is no surprise to anyone who has spent time around young people in Europe during the 2010s: Virtually all of them were working on their 4th masters degree in social welfare, were unmarried, attended communist dinners every night, and regularly participated in riots. Now the economy is suddenly transforming and they have nothing to show for it.

Stupid people don’t know they are being forced into a dialectic designed to lead them into certain foreign policy choices. Hence why you’re allowed to say “Islam is not compatible with the West,” yet not allowed to oppose third world mass migration.

Today's "Safe Horny" discourse surrounding Castlevania & Hades is bizarre. Hades 2 is one of the horniest games of the last decade. Characters wear blatantly revealing outfits. No one wears shoes. There's multiple romances. You see naked women and think man? Seek help.
