Another video along the theme of this thread. Except the professor seems to believe that influencial people can do something to stop the collapse whilst admitting it's also probably being done by those who think they're doing something 'good'.

I reject the idea that things MUST get worse before they get better. Now, I'm certain things WILL get worse before they get better, but things getting worse does not constitute a step in the right direction. Only productive action on our part will make things get better.

The incompetent always have to gaslight the competent into keep on keeping on, or it all falls apart. It's falling apart anyway, due to incompetent greed and the money printers, who are overseeing it all.

I experienced this at my last job in a big city. The hag British manager, inept and totally unqualified, ran the department straight into the ground. It has never recovered. I left in late 2015, and she managed to gaslight and torment people there for two more years, until she was unceremoniously fired and sent back to England, where she has lived on welfare ever since.

Now wonder the West is collapsing.

The black and browns really don't understand that it is whitey that pays virtually all of the taxes and makes the the West work. A steady diet of Hollywood agitprop has left them with a bizarre sense of superiority and competence which they don't possess. We are deep into a breakdown crisis now. It is truly a case of the scorpion and the frog.

We should do what we are able to. But also realize that things getting better during our lifetime is probably a bit of a stretch.

Barely a day goes by that I don't read or hear something about how blacks invented air conditioning, chili hot dogs, jet fighters, radar, etc. and attacking 'white men' as thieves, liars, and genocidal maniacs who have stolen the black man's inventions. White men are portrayed in popular cultures as animals that need to be destroyed like rabid animals. CNN and NBC push some of this stuff It's dangerous. The optics are dangerous. And yes, optics matter.

I only hope that people wake up to what is happening before Western society implodes. America, like one poster has written, could end up like Haiti in a few years. Don't believe me, look how bad off the UK is now! British cities are crime ridden HELLHOLES. I spent December 2023 in England and couldn't believe how degraded and UNBRITISH the cities in England have become. Holy cow. It's bad.

I remember when the Minneapolis-St. Paul area was a quiet, peaceful place filled with hard-working people who loved their baseball and football teams. In the 1970s it was filled with beautiful blonde Scandinavian girls in roller skates. It was the (old) California of the mid west. Yeah, not so much anymore. Now, you don't go to either city unless you have to. I went there a few years ago and there are still insanely liberal whites there who worship Saint George Floyd. The hotels looks like Somalia or Pakistan. I would say it has the worst downtown condition in America. It is Mogadishu, especially at night. The twin cities are done. nothing but a wasteland Detroit or Seattle or San Francisco.

NYC neighborhood turned into giant toilet as migrants litter park with poop, leave cups of urine on ‘doorsteps’

It used to be a nice neighborhood...

Migrants outside an East Village intake center have been crappy neighbors.

Since November, thousands of adult migrants have waited outside the former St. Brigid’s School on East 7th Street, and overflow into Tompkins Square Park, to score a bed in the city’s shelter system after their 30-day and 60-day stay limits expired.

But s–t hit the fan – and the sidewalks and streets – last week when the city Parks Department yanked a trio of Port-a-potties from the park.

The loos had become so filthy that workers gave up on maintaining them, according to locals.

“There was a cup of what I thought was somebody’s discarded hot chocolate that turned out to be not hot chocolate,” said street cleaner John Cashvan.

Do not make people looking for free stuff angry...

What are these people even allowed to stay in my country?

I think it was Navigator who said years ago that when the US can no longer supply free stuff, the cities would burn.

Washington seems to have missed that lesson, and now, they’re paying the price.

For the last decade they have been relentlessly and mercilessly whipping American whites: defaming them as racists, mocking their intelligence and manliness, tearing down their statues, erasing the names of their ancestral heroes, replacing their fictional archetypes with diverse doppelgangers in the media, disadvantaging them in education and employment, demanding that they attend racial struggle sessions. The list of outrages and humiliations is long and all too familiar, permeating as it does every one of our institutions.

But now, the Empire of Lies faces a problem.

War has returned to the world. History, its rumoured demise notwithstanding, once again stalks the land. Russia mauls the Ukraine; Israel is beset with enemies; the Empire’s influence in Africa frays by the day; China salivates over Taiwan.

Meanwhile the American domestic economy, long since hollowed out by the extractive rent-seeking of financial parasites, lurches from one crisis to the next. The Great Satan remains powerful, for the present, but the young bucks can scent that the silverback is not what he used to be. Their provocations increase in daring and intensity. If they aren’t slapped down, their boldness will only increase.

The criminal regime that has insinuated itself into the halls of American power is running against a clock. They must have a war to cover the slow collapse of their fake economy. They must have a war to prevent rival regimes from displacing their American golem. But their golem is crumbling. Therefore they must have a war sooner rather than later, because with every moment of delay America becomes weaker, while China and Russia become stronger.

Their problem is that no one wants to fight for them.

The core warrior population of America has always been the Scots-Irish of the Appalachian regions, the good ol’ boys of the South, and the farm boys of the Midwest. Hillbillies and rednecks, in other words. Many families from these areas have multi-generational traditions of service. Dad served in Vietnam, Grampa in WWII, Great-Grandpa in the Great War, and Great-Grandpa’s Pappy fought under Lee in the War of Northern Aggression.

These are precisely the white populations that have been singled out for the most unrelenting and vicious racial abuse over the last several decades. They are the one group that it’s okay to defame in the media, depicted as ignorant, bigoted, backwards, and inbred. The people running Hollywood seem to have a special disgust for them. For generations they have born this with a sort of stoic good cheer, accepting their role as the heel in the great kayfabe of American political drama even as they shouldered a disproportionate burden of blood, tears, and sweat in America’s imperial wars.

The events of the last two decades seem to have put an end to that. It wasn’t just the psychotic frenzy of race communism that gripped the regime’s mind, although that certainly played a factor as the military has hardly been immune to it. Who wants to serve in an armed forces that has thrown meritocracy in the trash to make sure the commissioned ranks include as many strong black lesbians as possible, that spends more time making sure the enlisted ranks understand the nuances of pronoun usage and the finer points of critical race theory than training for war? Demoralizing as all that has been, the absolutely pointless debacle of the Neocon Forever War in the Middle East has played at least as large a role.

The Terror War started with the moral fervor of a crusade. The Arabs1 had struck at America’s heart, destroying the World Trade Centre2 and attacking the Pentagon itself. Osama bin Laden had to be found and killed; Al Qaeda had to be dismantled; we had to fight them over there or we’d have to fight them over here3. Then we were told that Saddam Hussein had a nuclear program, that he was working on weapons of mass destruction, and that we had to destroy his fascist Ba’athist regime before Zero Day destroyed DC or NYC or some other sodomopolis that people still actually liked back in those days.

And then, for twenty years – for so long that by the end, there were young men serving in the same war that their fathers had fought in at the beginning – America stumbled around like a drunken bull elephant, smashing up countries it knew nothing about for reasons that no one in charge could articulate. We were nation-building, or democracy-building, or institution-building, or defending the rights of women and sexual minorities, or whatever. The excuses seemed to change every few years, as the meat grinder churned on, sending back the occasional mutilated corpse, and a much larger number of the permanently maimed and the irreparably psychologically broken.

Let me begin by making this point as clearly as possible. There is absolutely nothing worse for the combat effectiveness of a military, than attempting to use recruiting as a social engineering program.

It was reported in this newspaper recently how the US Army has seen a dramatic fall in the number of white recruits, as the Military.com website found that the army fell 10,000 short of its 65,000 enlistment target.

Underpinning this drop was a dramatic decrease in white recruits from 44,042 in 2018, to just 25,070 in 2023, leading to the proportion of white recruits falling from 56.4 per cent of all recruits in 2018, to just 44 per cent. According to the US Census from 2022, around 59 per cent of all US citizens were from white backgrounds. The US military is 17 per cent women, so the recruiting crisis is primarily one among white men.

Clearly, something inside the US Army’s recruitment system is failing, both in terms of targets being drastically missed, and a failure to recruit effectively among the nation’s largest ethnic group.

The UK Armed Forces are in a similar depressing situation. Recruiting targets are consistently not met, but the main priority is not to get more people to join up – it is to get more non-white people and women to join up.

Um, that's me, a Citadel graduate from a long line of soldiers, including 27 killed in seven wars. I fought in two. And you know what?

NO ONE in my family will fight in another foreign adventure. Civil war, yes. Foreign war, NO.

Better dead than Wakanda.
