The question "what is an American?" has the same glitching effect on a Neocon that "what is a woman?" does to a Leftist. If you ask them where these "classical liberal principles" they venerate come from, whether they successfully export to other cultures, or if they're even still present... in our society today, they short circuit. 404 Error. "Individual liberty" has always carried with it extreme presuppositions. Liberty requires the foundation of a cohesive culture with a shared morality. The founders wrote at length that our system was wholly inadequate for other peoples. "A Republic if we could keep it", well we didn't keep it. Liberty without morality immediately devolves into degeneracy. This is why libertarians complain about the fact that they can't buy heroin at CVS, or whine about age of consent laws violating individual liberty. Without the underlying responsibility that liberty requires, it is just lizard brain hedonism. They think that the law dictates ethics, when actually ethics precede law. Liberty requires something of you. It demands a complimentary host of responsibilities in order to keep it coherent. "Rights" without duties are just entitlements. Liberalism was only ever an adjudication mechanism for a preexisting moral people group. It was a way for various Western European Christians to work out their grievances peacefully. It was never meant to represent or be wielded by hostile hordes of Third Worlders against Americans. It's purpose is nullified under these conditions. Mexicans might be good at building things, but they are not Western European. Indians might allegedly be very smart (they're not), but they still worship a heretical pantheon of blue elephant monkey gods. Neither are Americans, they just want access to American riches, and they will say anything to get proximity to these riches. Our tolerance of others was always contingent on their ability to emulate Western European ways of being. When blacks were still mostly Christian and behaved themselves (or were made to behave), they were largely tolerated. Now that those expectations are gone (or made illegal) and they once again behave like Africans. The fatigue climbs daily. The French tried their hand at an American-style Revolution. It looked more like Lenin than Jefferson and ended with Napoleon. They were both Western European and largely Christian and even they couldn't pull it off. Leftism was spawned from their failed attempt. No one who should be taken seriously actually thinks that the Somali migrant cares about, is capable of, or wants to preserve "individual liberty". There is no amount of paperwork or government documentation that will make them an American. This is why we call them "paperwork Americans". The idea that they can is the type of nonsense that people like James Lindsey still try to push, not realizing that it's just Blank Slatism with extra steps. The material conditions necessary for liberalism are mostly gone, we can go back to spirited college debates about individual liberty once those preconditions are once again met. As Christianty has faded or been made illegal and the founding American stock has been diluted with compounding waves of Third World waste, liberalism has proven to be incapable of solving these issues. That's because it was never meant to. No one on the "post-liberal Right" hates America or thinks that the founding was a mistake (with the possible exception of Curtis Yarvin, still love you Curtis). We are simply realists who are able to look around and see what time it is. The only question that matters now is: "what is an American?" or more accurately, "what do Americans do with non-Americans?" The way this question gets answered over the next decade will decide the fate of the next 250 years of our continent.show more

America was never meant to be a place where people merely arrived—it was meant to be a country that people JOINED. Look at the Statue of Liberty. In her hand, she carries a tablet inscribed with July 4, 1776. That wasn’t an accident. We are a nation built on a revolutionary idea: that our rights come from God, not government, and that liberty only survives when we are willing to defend it. Generations of legal immigrants didn't cross oceans just to cash in on our prosperity. They risked everything because they wanted to be a part of the American story. They didn't come to erase our culture or replace our system. They came because they wanted our principles and the rule of law. Becoming an American meant something so much deeper than just geography to them.

Ronald Reagan is the prototypical hero to conservative Americans. But what if he was actually the villain? Reagan sold two critical falsehoods to Americans that rewrote our cultural identity & our literal DNA. He transformed how we see & think about ourselves. And this transformation enabled & facilitated the destruction of our nation through the destruction of our demographics. Whether it was intentional or simply misguided, I'll let you decide. The 2 Falsehoods: 1. That anyone from anywhere can come be an American. I debunked that in the thread quoted below. 2. That American freedom isn't inherited or passed on in the bloodstream to our kids. Let's unpack this one. What do we mean when we talk of "Freedom" in the American context? What did Reagan mean? He told us: it's the unique idea of liberty conceived by our Founders for the first time in history. He says we have to maintain it, fight for it, and teach the next generation about it. What this means is that he's referring not just to some abstract idea our Founders conceived, but also the system and its trappings that they constructed to foster, promote & preserve their conception. We call this the "American System." But as Reagan states in this video, this system, its ideas, this "Freedom"--it's all the product of a specific set of men, of a defined people. What people? Briefly, White, Christian Europeans--mostly Western & Northern European Protestants--forged by, and sifted through, the harsh exigencies of the untamed American wilderness. They were also seasoned by their common interests in having the liberty to worship God & live their lives how they saw fit, without tyrannical interference from authoritarians. These people, these Founders, were the seed population of America. Their descendants, and people like them who immigrated later, built America. It should be noted here that throughout the entirety of our American history up to now, the majority of the population--the dominant demographic--descends from that Founding era population. Even factoring all the "immigration" post-1790, about 70% of Americans in 1965 descended from pre-1790 founding Americans. So, no, America is not a "Nation of Immigrants." That's a lie invented by the ADL in 1958. What this means is that America was conceived, invented, built & maintained by a specific group of people. A people with a common history, heritage, blood, genetic lineage and shared evolutionary experience on the American continent. America is a people. The capacity to build America, to maintain it, and to help it grow naturally & flourish is literally passed on in the blood. It's our literal birthright inheritance. Pick any Indian tribe. Only Indians of that tribe can properly perpetuate that tribe. You could go live among them and learn their language & ways, but if their genetic legacy dies and you're all that's left, it's no longer their tribe. You can't carry it forward. It's gone. It's the same with America. A specific tribe of people, with a specific background, biology & shared experience are what an "American" is. Others may live here, but they cannot perpetuate what our ancestral tribe created and built. America literally is passed on in the blood. Our freedom--our system--can only be properly developed and maintained by us. That doesn't mean we'll always get it right or that we'll be faithful to the original vision, but it does mean only we have the capacity to take this country in the natural trajectory our Founding ancestors conceived. White, Christian, sovereign Americans are tribal Americans. The rest of y'all are just residents. I don't say this hatefully, it's just factual. Indian Hindus & Sikhs, Chinese Buddhists, Mexican Catholics, Arab Muslims, and even Black African Protestants cannot preserve or pass America on, anymore than a White Anglo Saxon Protestant could preserve and pass on the Australian aboriginal people or Japan. Ronald Reagan was wrong, and this attitude & belief are disintegrating the American tribe & killing off America.

Obama: America has always had competing stories about who we are and what the nation stands for. The first story says that even though we got rid of a king, there is still a caste system in America, a pecking order of who makes decisions That if somebody doesn't look like or think like you or practice religion the same way you do, they must be a threat to your way of life, and they need to be put in their place. That is how Donald Trump thinks about America. Make America great again by putting the people in charge even if they don't know what the hell they are doing. But here is the thing. That story is not new. It is the oldest story in the book. It is not even uniquely American. For most of human history, that is the way society has worked. For somebody on top and somebody on bottom. There were lords and peasants. For a long time, that story of caste and privilege and concentrated power was the law of the land here in America. If you look like me, you were likely treated as property. If you were a woman, or a white man who did not own property, you could not vote. But from the very start, there was another story, born of this nation's true revolutionary spirit, a story that says, we the people means what it says, that all of us are included, that we are not subjects, but citizens, defined not by race or religion or gender or sexual orientation, but by our commitment to a common creed and a willingness to accept not just privileges, but responsibilities that come with that citizenship.

"If you look at what has happened in Eastern Congo, and everything we have gone through over the past four or five years, and you look at what we have left behind, there is evidence. There are facts that speak for themselves. In Eastern Congo, in Goma and elsewhere, the whole world came together against Rwanda. The whole world lined up against Rwanda: the FDLR and all the groups associated with it that have been mentioned, the Wazalendo, the Burundian forces, the FARDC, the South Africans, and many others. I would rather not spend time naming them all; there were so many. When you look at the scale of what they had assembled there and what they were up against, it is clear that what they were trying to do was wage war against Rwanda, destabilize our country, and reshape it the way they wanted. In fact, they said so themselves. Ordinarily, if someone were to say these things without evidence, you might think they were simply trying to frighten people, to intimidate them. To convince themselves that what they wanted was within reach and that they were going to achieve it, they even brought in mercenaries. You know that many of them passed through here. We gave free passage to our enemies, allowing them to leave a war they waged against us, a war that was never theirs to begin with. That alone tells you something. And it is also something for which our forces, together with others who stood with them, deserve recognition. As for Rwanda, we will always be in a struggle for our very existence. Regardless of those who wish us harm, surrounding us from many sides, one thing remains true: we should and will always be a step ahead of them. It is our right. It is our will. And our history has taught us that we have within ourselves the capacity to defend and protect ourselves whenever necessary. And that is exactly what we will continue to do."

"One of the things I learned from CBA negations is: They aren't smarter than us...I think we sometimes are victims of having this belief that because these people have made it to the top of their profession that they are as good at what they do as we are at what we do. They aren't....It's a mistake to think that whatever is holding back the union is understanding some complex theories of business or law. That ain't it." – Domonique goes deep on what changes need to be made within the NFLPA.

NEVER forget or accept that it was anything less than an intentional invasion carried out against the American people through an act of treason. It was deliberate. It was funded. They lied to our faces and did everything possible to stop those who attempted to stop the invasion. The entire Biden administration should be brought up on charges that are nothing short of treason. An example must be made of these traitors. Make no mistake: they will absolutely do it again if they ever regain power, and this time it will be on a scale twice as large—or more.

☝️🏾Michelle Obama is right! MAGA is NOT full of racist people; it's full of desperate people. And of course, who was the first to attack her? Black liberals. Why? Because racism feeds the black liberal. If Michelle Obama, the queen of black politics, says that it's not racism, how will the black liberal eat? Without racism, how will the black liberal gain the attention of blacks? How will they maintain their sense of purpose? The black liberal is simply an errand dog for white liberals. Without racism, the black liberal is of NO value to the white liberal and immediately becomes disposable. As you can see, they will even attack black women; Barack's wife is not exempt. Anyone can get it! But Michelle is right. These people aren't racist. They truly are desperate. Public schools and universities did not equip them with survival skills. It taught them how to be a slave (we'll talk about the white slaves of America at a later date). The schools didn't teach them how to think. The schools didn't make them more intelligent. In fact, it gave many whites a false sense of intelligence. School taught them that if you have knowledge, then you are intelligent. But that is only half of the puzzle. Knowledge is just mental masturbation...when you don't have the skill of problem-solving. And when you grow up spoon-fed, there aren't many problems to solve. So, what we have is a population of educated fools who think they are intelligent but are not. And many of them are realizing this now, and their ego is shattered. So, what do they do? They look for the low-hanging fruit. Racism. They know that rage bait can get them the attention that their minds can't. Because they have nothing positive to contribute to society, they must resort to the lowest of tactics to survive. That's why they don't anger me. All I see is a sea of pitiful dolts...like someone who is mentally challenged. There's no reason to have high expectations for the intellectually disabled. What we are witnessing from this group of whites is acts of desperation. Hope is almost gone in their minds. The America they learned to love was only a veneer to mask its dark side. If only they studied black history. They would see the evil that the government is capable of. But no, they were happy because the target was not them. They were happy not to be black. But now...white conservatives are the new niggas. How long will they remain suckled at the teat of Lady Liberty?

Baier: I just got off the phone with the president…. I asked, “what you are saying is you know there is somebody on the ground in Iran that is going to rise up?” He said, “yeah, I feel there is. I feel that and some of them are no longer with us to be honest because it was 49 leaders that were taken out. That was going to take four weeks we thought to get rid of the Iranian leadership and it is always, you know, if they hide, it is a lot longer than four weeks. They would have been hiding. We were shocked when we heard what was going on. We knew exactly what was happening… they are talking about using people now that nobody ever heard of—even they don't know. They are using people, studying people to be the leader that even they don't know who they are. Can you believe that?” I said it's a tough succession plan in Iran. He said, “49 leaders is deep. It's very deep. When they met, they met for breakfast. They assumed it was good for a lot of reasons. Number one they didn't think we knew. You never attack in the morning having to do with wind and sun and a lot of things. It was amazing that we knew everything we knew.”

Americans are becoming wide awake “Dearborn, Michigan is the perfect case study about why Islam is not compatible with American society or civilization at large. Did Dearborn become a beacon of light and hope? Is it full of charity and people looking out for one another in peace and coexistence and, oh my gosh, the amount of doctors and lawyers? No. Dearborn, Michigan is absolutely disgusting. It is filled with crime, it is filled with poverty, and it is filled with American citizens being told that if they do not want to bow down to the Islamization of America, then they need to get the hell out, even being told that by their own politicians. They feel like Islam can rule over everything there, right? They loudly play their call to prayer and if you have a problem with it, despite the fact that it legally breaks city ordinance with how loud it is, then you're told to leave and that you need to be quiet and that you just need to submit to their way of living. If you think that this is a coincidence, if you think that they have any intention of stopping there, then you are deluding yourself. These people are extremely violent. They don't want open discourse. They don't want open dialogue about religion. They do not see you as an equal, and girls who do not wear hijabs there or who do not dress in their definition of modesty are oftentimes harassed for it. They even went so far as to try to stop people from being able to walk their dogs because they see dogs as unclean animals. This is absolutely disgusting and I hope the American people start to wake up and realize what's actually going on over there.”

60 years ago, Ronald Reagan gave Americans a warning that has stood the test of time. This is from Reagan's "Time for Choosing" speech: "If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves." "You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down--up to a man's age-old dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order--or down to the ant heap totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course." ... "Well, I for one resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me--the free man and woman of this country--as 'the masses.' This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, 'the full power of centralized government'--this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy." ... "They say we are always 'against' things, never 'for' anything. Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so." ... "Mr. Democrat himself, Al Smith, the great American, came before the American people and charged that the leadership of his party was taking the part of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland down the road under the banners of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin." ... "Our natural, inalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment." ... "You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin--just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it's a simple answer after all." "You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, 'There is a price we will not pay.' There is a point beyond which they must not advance." ... "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness." Doesn't it feel like Reagan is speaking to us TODAY?

60 years ago, Ronald Reagan gave Americans a warning that has stood the test of time. This is from Reagan's "Time for Choosing" speech: "If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves." "You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down--up to a man's age-old dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order--or down to the ant heap totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course." ... "Well, I for one resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me--the free man and woman of this country--as 'the masses.' This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America. But beyond that, 'the full power of centralized government'--this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize. They knew that governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy." ... "They say we are always 'against' things, never 'for' anything. Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so." ...

This is how I see left wing Scousers - What irritates me more than anything about them is they have the arrogance to tell people on a daily basis “Scousers are left wing” and call everyone a Tory or a wool who disagrees with them. Like they can speak for all of us. Like only they love this city and we don’t. Let me tell you something about these gang of gobshites. If you ever want to at what multiculturalism does to a city. Look at London. I have always wanted multiculturalism to work. But it’s hard to ignore the damage it does. It is ok im small manageable numbers like we have always had. But when it grows out of control you get….. London. These gang of shithouses who love Liverpool more than anyone and who are more Scouse than anyone and speak for all of us are literally advocating for Liverpool to be slowly transformed into a microcosm of the hellhole that is our capital. They are actively pushing for it. Most of them don’t even have children themselves. And that’s the world they want your children to grow up in. A replica of London in every major city. That’s how much they care about Liverpool. They want it to become the next London. If everything was all sweet and rosey down there I could understand their logic. But it isn’t. And over my dead body I will stand silent while these traitors enable our government to destroy the culture snd good harmony of our city. Absolutely disgusting. They do not speak for us. Even though they think that they can and often try to. Im going to start sharing the odd video of what is happening down in our capital so you can see what they are trying to do to our city. So we can all see the world they are pushing for. “Liverpool is a tolerant city” they always say which is true. But at the same time. We aren’t dickheads. And there is a limit to how nice we are. And this is the last city yiu want to piss off. Because if you piss us off, we bite back harder than anyone. When the Revolution begins. It will be this city that starts it. The left wingers think that because they are a gang of pushovers that the rest of us are too. Think again!

Trump is a racist. America elected a racist, and he is a reflection of what today’s America has become. More than 80 million Americans voted for him. It is not that Trump created racists, he simply opened the door and gave them permission to be who they already were. He is a racist, and that is why, in November 2024 when he was elected, I was shocked to see black Africans celebrating and supporting this bigot. I was genuinely shocked. Again, it goes back to the issue of knowledge, or the lack of it. Our people do not read. They are fascinated by soundbites and television theatrics. Trump, the loudmouth showman on NBC shouting “You are fired,” is what excited them. They never took the time to dig deeper and understand the character, history, and worldview of the man they were cheering for from Africa. They never bothered. And this is part of the reason why Africa is in such a mess. We do not follow ideas, we do not follow values, and we are not guided by principle. Across the continent — from Zimbabwe to South Africa, Zuma included, and all the way up — we follow personalities instead of interrogating their ideas. I am glad that what is happening now is happening, because it exposes the folly. Even the Somalis in Minnesota, whose community leadership openly endorsed Donald Trump, are now living with the consequences of that decision. What he is doing to them is exactly what we warned them about. But they did not listen, just like the Africans on the continent who were twerking for Trump without understanding who or what they were supporting. Trump’s grandfather came from Germany, so by the very same logic he uses to attack others, one could easily call Trump a German. His mother came from Scotland. Yet he still has the audacity to tell Americans of Somali parentage to go back to Somalia, even though they were born in the United States and are fully American. Many of the people shouting this racist nonsense are themselves descendants of immigrants who arrived only a generation or two ago. None of them are indigenous to America. Trump has no right to question the citizenship or belonging of Americans simply because their grand parents came from Somalia, especially when his own lineage comes from Germany and Scotland. This is the clearest definition of racism. It is selective exclusion disguised as patriotism, and it exposes exactly what the world is dealing with, a racist American president who emboldens other racists while conveniently ignoring his own foreign ancestry. His decision to kick South Africa out of the G20 again is a blatantly racist act. That is why he is replacing South Africa with Poland. South Africa has a black president, it is a majority-black nation, and because he is a racist, he removed them and substituted a white country in their place. It is sickening to watch.

THE AMERICAN REVIVAL "When our nation was born in 1776, we were a nation of underdogs. Our Founding Fathers stood up to the most powerful empire in the world, declared their independence, and then somehow turned assertion into reality. In order to make America great again, we have to know the story of what made America great the first time around. That's the story of our nation, that's the story of our history - and it's a story we've forgotten. If you think about who were the most intellectually groundbreaking thinkers of the 18th century, they actually weren't our Founding Fathers. Most of them were actually on the other side of the Atlantic, in Europe. But the European society into which they were born was different from ours in a big way. It was a culture that valued expertise over curiosity. But our Founding Fathers? They were different. They didn't believe in those boundaries. They didn't even believe in acquiescence to expertise. It was a culture that valued education, that valued autodidacts - people who taught themselves - exploration, a fundamental curiosity about how the world works. And an unyielding confidence that, even if you weren't an expert in something, you could still figure it out with the right combination of self-education & curiosity. So what's the message for us? Your generation - I will say, our generations - need to revive that special combination of curiosity & self-confidence. That special sauce that allowed America to succeed as an insurgent was that unmitigated curiosity & the totally unjustified confidence of our Founding Fathers. We should expect more of one another as citizens. We should expect more of ourselves. We should expect more of our leaders. These are the stories of American history that we deserve to revive, our children - our grandchildren - deserve to hear. That's the story of American Exceptionalism." - Vivek Ramaswamy

Americans and Europeans alike sometimes forget how unique is the United States of America. No other nation has been built upon an idea—the idea of liberty. No other nation has so successfully combined people of different races and nations within a single culture. Whether in flight from persecution or from poverty, the huddled masses, with few exceptions, welcomed American values, the American way of life and American opportunities. And America herself has bound them to her with powerful bonds of patriotism and pride. The European nations are not and can never be like this. They are the product of history and not of philosophy. You can construct a nation on an idea; but you cannot reconstruct a nation on the basis of one. Political institutions cannot be imposed if they are to endure. They have to evolve and they have to command the affection, loyalty and respect of populations living under them, and they have to be accountable to the people.

.David Deutsch: "What's currently called AI and AGI are not only different from each other, they are very close to being the exact opposites of each other. The reason is that an AI, current AI is like an AI that diagnoses diseases or an AI that plays chess or an AI that controls a huge factory. Those things have objective functions, that is they have a function that they are designed to maximize and that is why they are used in those particular applications. Or in military terms, you could say the objective is to hit the target. You might say the objective is to hit the target unless some thing specified, but it's a specified thing comes up in which case don't hit the target and so on. This is, as I said, almost the opposite of what humans do when humans think. For a start, the AI has to be obedient, that is it has to actually do the things it is programmed to do, whereas a human is fundamentally disobedient, especially when being creative. When a human plays chess, they are performing a completely different kind of computation. They don't do the same things, they don't investigate the same possibilities that the artificial chess playing machine does, because the artificial one is capable of looking at billions and billions of possibilities, whereas the human can only look at hundreds or something. They are doing something completely different. Another difference is that the human can explain, can write a book later, having become world champion, can write a book saying how I did it, as the computer program that beats the world champion can write no such book, because it has no idea how it did it. It was just following a program. I was doing this and that and that and none of that is illuminating. Also, third thing, the chess player can decide I don't want to play chess anymore, from now on I will play Go or from now on I will play tennis. If commanded to play chess, the functionality will deteriorate completely. Those things are different. What we want in an AGI is that it behaves in a way that cannot be specified in advance, because if you specified it, you would already have the answer. The AGI program has to give unexpected answers, answers to questions we didn't even know how to ask."

🧵1/ PRESIDENTS DAY--Ronald Reagan's Greatest Damage To America: "Anyone from any corner of the world can come live here and become an American." The Reagan administration tripled the national debt, gave immunity to vaccine manufacturers, passed an automatic weapons ban, presided over the Iran-Contra scandal, and gave amnesty to 2.7 million illegals. But, while all of these things are varying degrees of bad, none of them actually caused irreparable or irreversible harm to the country. And, in hindsight, they kind of pale in comparison to many things that have happened since then. What was his greatest sin, then? It's actually something far more damaging and insidious than amnesty: it was the attitude and value system he sold subsequent to the amnesty--an attitude and value system that has destroyed our national conscience and self-identity. It transformed how we thought of America, and what it means to be an American. And it's this attitude that has rolled out the red carpet for the fundamental transformation of America. Listen to him invoke the now-clichéd "Statue of Liberty" vision of immigration. Watch him use the "threat" of global communism as an excuse to open America up as a "place of refuge" for all peoples of the world. Hear him paint a picture of a multicultural America. Watch how he sells the ideas of "freedom" and "liberty" as the fundamental defining aspects and organizing principles of what it means to be an American. This was Reagan's greatest sin: he convinced Americans that America was just a set of ideas and that anyone from anywhere in the world can come live here and become an American. This was a radical departure from hundreds of years of established American thought about our identity and heritage. Reagan used his "Great Communicator" skills to sell to America this wholly new vision of America. He transformed--in the hearts of minds of Americans--"what" America is, and "who" Americans even are. And it is this new generic non-identity that has disarmed the ability of Americans to resist the mass waves of immigration into America, the transformation of the American demographic, the destruction of the founding demographic, and the replacement of American workers with foreign labor. It solidified in the minds of Americans the lie that we are a multicultural, multiracial country--and that we were never anything else. And that to oppose immigration in any way other than whether it's "legal or illegal" is racist, xenophobic, hateful and un-American. Americans are powerless to stop the destructive transformation of America because they no longer believe in the founding narrative and identity of America. They believe a lie. And now America is becoming that lie.

AOC: We get to these extremes through these small erosions and steps. When everyone says makes an exception here or makes an exception there, and then before you know it, you have masked agents roaming the streets of this country that do not feel entitled to identify themselves or do not feel like as though they answer to the American people at all. That is dangerous. It does not go without saying that the people that they went after first are some of the most vulnerable activists in the United States, which is to say, pro-palestinian organizers and young people, especially those who who are on green cards or visas… And the idea that we would allow our freedom of speech to be violated and create exceptions to that for people who are advocating for the lives of Palestinians, it erodes at the very core of American identity, too, because this is a land of the free, but only as long as we defend it and make it so

A very prominent African shared this video with me and joked, “…this is the best illustration of your people.” It is true that the real danger is not the fire; it is the blind obedience by the sheep. The real danger is no longer ZANUPF as far as the world is now concerned, it is the blind obedience we give it daily and our inability to see a way out of this mess. The same way these sheep are hopelessly made to go around a fire is the same way ZANUPF, and indeed the opposition, treats you. They throw out any useless idea, and you all run with it, regardless of how stupid it is. ZANUPF will tell you that sanctions have destroyed Zimbabwe, even as you witness their daily looting, and some fool will run with that cheap sanctions propaganda even when presented with figures of looted funds. Opposition supporters will be told that this time they do not need a constitution or structures, and they will still run with such a crazy idea, believing it will work. The real danger is the people’s inability to think for themselves and ask the right questions, instead of being shepherded into stupidity like sheep. A real man or woman doesn’t feel pity for being stupid when they find out, they fix the problem that created that stupidity and move on! They don’t defend being stupid, they realise their mistakes and remove the stupidity and become better people! Every Zimbabwean is a legitimate victim of shame due to the stupidity that has engulfed our country. Regardless of whether you drive a Bentley, are a professor, or an award-winning journalist, lawyer or doctor, as long as you are Zimbabwean, you carry the stain of the political stupidity that has come to define our country. Stupid people defend their stupidity; smart people realise they are in stupidity terrain and move away. What are you? What are we?

Every Zimbabwean is a legitimate victim of shame due to the stupidity that has engulfed our country. Regardless of whether you drive a Bentley, are a professor, or an award-winning journalist, lawyer or doctor, as long as you are Zimbabwean, you carry the stain of the political stupidity that has come to define our country. Stupid people defend their stupidity; smart people realise they are in stupidity terrain and move away. What are you? What are we?
