The Limoges Town Hall survived two world wars and stood as a symbol of French history.
Now it will be remembered as a symbol of the country’s downfall.
This is so incredibly tragic.

The outrage over Orania is shallow and misguided.
Ideologues see a clean, thriving enclave and assume it sits on magic ground. They ignore the discipline it took to build.
The urge to seize such a place is parasitic logic.
You can't run a premium civilization with a breakdown mindset.
Take over engineered infrastructure without the technical culture behind it, and you reduce it to ruin.
Orania takes no state handouts.
While many South African municipalities buckle under corruption and decay, Orania built its own solar plants and internal currency, insulating itself from failing national systems.
What people see isn't magic. It's a functional social contract: families sharing food, children playing without anyone looking over their shoulders.
It's civic order doing what it's designed to do.
The populist majority votes for destructive politics, then resents a minority enclave for regrouping to save itself.
Orania asks nothing of the state. It simply shows that competence out-builds slogans.

This is what happens in teaching.👇
People of excellence are driven out because they defend standards.
Only those who immerse children in a victim mentality are promoted.
They will keep going until our streets become like those in France.
Shame on them.

So Tesla does a demo of a car that climbs vertical, stops at the top of a loop, FLIES DOWN, then jumps some trucks doing a kick flip, and casually breaks the 1 second zero to sixty acceleration barrier...
Okay, that's some cool shit. Yes, we argue over the commercial practicality, but you've got to admit from just the sci-fi tech demo sense, that's wild.
So I scroll through the interwebs and the conservatives I know are gleeful and making jokes about flying cars, and the smart people are thinking through possible applications, limitations, and ways this wild shit could or could not get used in real life. The really smart people are arguing about engineering, but regardless everybody is like "damn, that's cool."
Meanwhile all the comments from terminally online liberals are crying about Elon's politics. All they can do is focus on one dude disagreeing with them. They can't get past it. All they can do is minimize. They have no imagination. No excitement. It's just so sad. They're so SMALL.
So the conversations are like-
"Wow they just did some Matchbox stuff with an actual car."
"That's nothing. You're stupid. Elon supports Germany's AfD party. I am offended. You should have more critical thinking like me."
And sadly that's a paraphrase not an exaggeration. I just saw that one on Ron F's page. :D

Elon Musk flips a vehicle upside down and everyone claps and cheers. But when I do it, suddenly I'm "recklessly endangering children" and "unfit to be a school bus driver".
"So, you think you are qualified enough to run a country?"
"Yes, of course we are."
"Well, what proof do we have?"
"We do this little dance..."

Children were not murdered at Indigenous residential schools and the entire story of 215 graves found in Kamloops is a hoax.
Many Indigenous leaders and communities supported or requested schooling, including forms of residential education, specifically to give children skills for a changing world (literacy, farming, trades, English).
The numbered treaties of the 1870s included education provisions that Indigenous negotiators sought so their children could acquire the “learning of the white man.”
Historical accounts (including works by J.R. Miller and treaty records) show chiefs requesting teachers and schools for practical adaptation after traditional economies were disrupted.
Now pass this bill and arrest me. I’d love to present evidence of all this in court.

Aldous Huxley wrote, "The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' -- this is the height of psychological luxury.”
How right he was!
Notice that all these people do is attack Israelis. They rejoice in abuse and profanity. They don't try to help anyone, they show no interest in the cultures involved, they ignore all other groups that violate their ostensible values. You'll never see them challenging a Turk or a Burmese. Hating Israel is their drug and their fandom. They can't get enough of it. It makes them feel so good!
Nothing else matters.
