Board 8 > Nationalist politics topic 11: NPC meme is the gift that keeps on giving

(+) Yeah! (+)

A fascinating article about the inevitable upcoming financial crisis on ZeroHedge:

How do we stay richer than our economy grows if the Fed isnt going to cooperate with bubble-blowing monetary policy?

There is another way.

The other way to be richer than your economy grows is to take wealth from the rest of the world. The other way is to turn alliance into empire. And then suck it dry. Or as wed say in bloodless economic-speak, extract rents.

The Athenians did it. The Romans did it. The British did it. And history remembers each of these imperial nations rather fondly. They were the Foundations of their day, at least as the victors write the history books.

I submit to you that the economic nationalist trade policies of Trump and Lighthizer and Navarro and Bannon and the rest of that crew understand this other way. I submit to you that when Trump expresses excitement over collecting some billions of dollars in Chinese tariffs, he genuinely believes that he is adding to the wealth of the United States. I submit to you that when Trump demands that Europe pay more for defense, his goal is to turn NATO into a profit center. I submit to you that applying a simple mercantilist lens explains 99% of our foreign policy towards Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Russia.

Bulgarian government just announced we're not going to sign the ridiculous UN migration, i.e. Europe destruction pact. Feels good, man! :)

It was a very pleasant surprise. I don't expect much from this government, and the unbelievably incompetent foreign minister had said two weeks ago we'd be signing it. It's a blessing we've got United Patriots in the coalition, some of them are patriots only in name, but they are important leverage that managed to save us from the istanbul convention and now this. Two important victories for a usually voiceless country like ours.

It is precisely because the races are different - and not only the races, just look at ethnical differences within Europe, e.g. between the Nordic countries and Italy, even between neighbouring countries like Bulgaria and Romania... It is precisely because the races and nationalities are so different that the world is so wonderful and full of life. If globalists achieved their goal of destroying nations and merging survivors into a grey consumer mass with no moral values, we would irreparably lose everything we've struggled to achieve since the dawn of mankind.

The absurd disconnect of this paragraph is Vlados untenable philosophy boiled down to a succinct, illogical world view.

Yes, Romanians and Bulgarians have been struggling to achieve their national greatness based on the strengths of their ethnicities since the dawn of mankind
---

If you only extract whatever you want to extract from that paragraph and ignore everything else, that may be one thing you come up with, yes. Those who can and want to read understand what I said perfectly.

By the way, Bulgarians are an old people - our country here alone has been around for ~1340 years, and there's historical evidence of Bulgarians in nearby areas since at least the 3rd century AD. Research is still in progress, but it is highly likely we are descended to a great extent from the Thracians, which is a people that was thriving alongside the ancient Greeks.

In short, for a Bulgarian, the history of a country like the US is pretty short. :)
---

So you fight for Thracian values and for the Thracian race really
---

You do realise that, if the hypothesis is proven correct, that's just an older name for Bulgarians.
---

It is generally proposed that a proto-Thracian people developed from a mixture of indigenous peoples and Indo-Europeans from the time of Proto-Indo-European expansion in the Early Bronze Age[7] when the latter, around 1500 BC, mixed with indigenous peoples.

*gasp*

The Thracians were polygamous as Menander puts it: "All Thracians, especially us and the Getae are not much abstaining, because no one takes less than ten, eleven, twelve wives, some even more. If one died and had only four-five wives is called ill-fated, unhappy and unmarried."[55] According to Herodotus fornication was not punishable, women did not preserve their virginity until marriage, and unmarried Thracian women could have sex with any man they wished to.

*GASP*

The supreme Baltic thunder god Perkon was part of the Thracian pantheon, although cults to Orpheus and Zalmoxis likely surpassed him.[53]

Some think that the Greek god Dionysus evolved from the Thracian god Sabazios.

*GASP*

True Bulgarian culture is wild!

I wouldn't place much faith in wikipedia, especially on matters like these which are still not settled even among serious researchers.

Meanwhile, facebook once again show their extreme globalism by firing an extremely talented employee - the Occulus Rift founder - simply because he supported Trump:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-11-11/facebook-fired-oculus-founder-his-political-beliefs-and-pro-trump-donations

Read the whole thing, it's a fascinating story. After firing him, his lawyer pressured them and they settled to pay up $100m.
---

Lets hope they turn out to be monogamous white Christians then
---

Although I must say that I love the idea that the globalists are planting unproven information about the Thracians on Wikipedia in an effort to smear Bulgarians.
---

That's your own stupid idea. What I'm saying is that first, it is still not clarified to what extent we are linked to the Thracians, and second, those things you quoted are of questionable credibility.

lol, how exactly are you "successful"? Your country is full of resources, you have a strong military with bases around the globe, a lot of creative talent, and yet you're drowning in debt, the middle class has all but evaporated, and the social divide is the biggest in the whole world. To be blessed with so much and achieve so little with it is the opposite of success.

You talk about differences in ethnicity ONLY in service of nationalism even though they aren't related at all. It's not the ethnicity and biology that you care about, it's the legal borders that define a country. And you use this faux-biology to justify things like European ethnics deserving America, even though they are clearly invaders who have no ethnic history here.

Vlado posted...

The possibility that you are right about these is certainly something that is on my mind.

It's not. You forget it instantly. You go back to saying that if Trump fails, the US is doomed. You are 100% bought in to Trump saviordom and you can't convince yourself otherwise. It has even turned your nationalism very US-centric and pro-Republican, despite your resistance. Like seriously, you're a fucking Republican. Think about that.

I imagine you really want to believe Trump might not be the golden solution to the world. But you can't. The propaganda is too strong in your brain. It just takes time for people like you. In a few years you will think of this just like Milo, or Nintendo.

Vlado posted...

See... That's a big mistake on Bannon's part

What mistake? He won everything. He got the president elected, he STILL controls the majority of the nationalist movement (including yourself), AND now he's out of the spotlight. Milo was discarded and discredited well after his use was up, when GG was converted to nationalism, just according to plan. There's a reason he used an unhinged guy who hated video games to lead GG. It made everything so easy.

Now he's just working with Breitbart. You don't read that do you?

First, every European country is different. As a whole, none suffer from the divide seen in the US, Germany may be heading in that direction, but I think that problem will be mitigated soon enough. Germans still have enough time to save themselves, unlike the people of Britain or France, who no longer have bloodless paths to salvation.

Statistics can tell us more about those things than any single opinion. Of course, if you redefine games to include phone/social network nonsense, you can come up with stats that women play more games than men. But you and I know very well what is a game and what isn't.

Do not get so frustrated by statistics, i.e. facts of life. Just because most women don't like games doesn't mean that there aren't women who are far more hardcore gamers than you and me. Similarly, just because most minorities fail to integrate in their host cultures does not mean that some of them aren't model citizens.

My point isn't to reject all women/minorities/whatever unconditionally. My point is to have the statistics, i.e. behavioural patterns in mind when considering politics and what possible future would bear the best fruits for humanity. While also giving a chance to those who show talent and strong intent to integrate - although ideally they would be using those talents to help their own countries become better.

I'll quote Dalai Lama:

Receive them, help them, educate them... but ultimately they should develop their own country.

That's not true. Borders change. Bulgaria has a bunch of territories taken by neighbours because we lost a bunch of wars in the last century. It's the peoples who matter, not their borders.

Is it a bad thing to be a Republican? Certainly better than a democrat... I'm not Republican, though, I'm a nationalist. My views are much further to the "right" than the average Republican. I think if Trump fails the US is doomed not because Trump is some kind of chosen one, but simply because if he fails (or if we were taken for a ruse and he never intended to fight the deep state in the first place), it's going back to the failed globalist regime before him. There is no strong figure on the right to replace Trump. And Bernie and friends are still too weak to take over the left (I am rooting for them, though).

Hahaha, wow. Imagine actually believing that. Bannon is not a puppetmaster. He is merely a catalyst. It's very funny how paranoid the left was of Bannon ever since Trump won. Evidently, even after he was booted, you still see ghosts. Bannon was successful in getting gamers to become right-wing not because of some devious plan... But because ANYTHING based on THE TRUTH, given enough traction (which Bannon did help provide), will succeed.

Wrong. I follow nobody. That is the nature of people who have swallowed the redpill. As long as they are useful, I will throw my support behind causes that push the world closer to the truth, such as Trump, but that does not mean I am a devoted follower of Trump's lukewarm nationalism, for example. People like Viktor Orbn, Matteo Salvini and Rodrigo Duterte are much closer to my views than Trump.

That's why you are a puppet to anyone who wants you.

Obviously. Especially if you're anti-globalist. That's why you are a Republican above a nationalist. You support Republicans even though they are explicitly globalist, JUST because Trump is the leader. It was so easy for them to get you, even halfway across the world.

You can say this all you want. And after a while, you might really believe it. That's what redpill is all about after all. Getting that annoying part of your brain that doubts your actions to shut up for once. And with every unwaveringly confident action, you get deeper into someone's pocket.

At least you get some chances like this to actually feel a bit of doubt, and climb your way out. Tiny little bits of doubt that actually get you closer to the truth than any idea stolen from a couple of trans sisters ever could. Maybe one day before you die, you will realize that doubt IS the redpill.

But that's wayyyy harder than just following the next movement.

I liked it as a whole. But the message is not something I can agree with. "Going underground" because society is fucked up? If you wrap yourself in a bubble and e.g. play video games all day, is that a solution? No. You do not live for yourself. You didn't appear out of thin air. There are millennia of history that led up to you. You must play your role in that history and work to provide a better society for your children and their children, and so on. Life is an incredibly rare gift, we'd better make something with it. There are many who will do nothing with theirs, sure. But we are different.

Absolutely false. Yes, borders must be protected - but from foreigners. If Bulgarians who ended up on the wrong side of the fence after a war wanted to come back, of course I'd welcome them. This clearly demonstrates it's peoples who matter, not borders.

Do explain how Republicans are more globalist than democrats. Also, did you forget the main point? It does not matter that much what Trump does - the fact that HE WON, that he was elected on the anti-globalism campaign he ran on, is far more important. Presidents come and go, but the fact that anti-globalism convinced people to elect him shows that the public have come to reject globalism, hard. The sweeping tide of rising nationalist sentiment and numbers throughout the world confirms.

There are exceptions to every rule, but in the vast majority of cases mobile games are poor man's games at best. Why do you think no mobile game wins anything on this site. Oh, probably because this site is "stuck in the past" or something. Why don't they win any GotY awards? Not even "critics" value a mobile game over a real one... What are mobile games good for? Making money if you can sucker the audience the right way? That is in no way a true merit.

But the whole point of red pill is that people are blindly accepting an ideology and facts that conform to what they already believe. Even in The Matrix, the red pill is the pill Neo takes in order to validate the beliefs he already holds (hes somewhat aware that the Matrix is a thing, hence why he takes the pill). Neo taking the BLUE pill would actually be him questioning his reality, rather than blindly accepting what he already thinks to be true. Morpheus even says it, take the blue pill and youll wake up believing whatever you want to believe which implies that Neo has a greater level of agency in understanding reality. Really, red pill is just a term co-opted by pseudo-intellectuals that imagine themselves smarter than everyone else around them.

You took a hypothesisGoogle is globalist and trying to censor conservative viewpointsand you found a video that agreed with your hypothesis, and posted it as fact. You did zero research to verify or disprove that video either way; you just blindly accepted it as the truth because you wanted it to be true.

I love engaging with people who have a different state of mind than me. Forgive me, I'm going to be going back in the topic. Let's start with this.

Vlado, you ask so much for evidence and statistics. But then you say something like:

Vlado posted...

foolm0r0n posted...

Powerful people promise things to weak people all the time to gain control.

This is possible. But when faced with the choice to vote for someone promising good things, or someone promising bad things, you vote for the former.

Why not use your same yearning for evidence to look past the promises altogether? Instead, try to gain insight into the character and values of the people in question. It may still end up being a choice between the lesser of two evils, but at least you'll be slightly less susceptible to deception.

I have some more fundamental questions as well. This is my first time reading a topic of yours, and I would like to hear, in brief, why you think globalism is bad. I think I know the answer, but I'd like to hear from you directly. Well, you did already say that countries are what "God originally intended", but besides that. Is it that you are concerned that globalism will lead to a dystopian future in which individuality is stamped out? Is it that you fear globalism will lead to too much concentrated power and too many one-size-fits-all solutions?

It seems like you mostly conceive of the 1% as big tech companies - google, facebook, amazon, etc. I'm curious, what about the agendas of big oil or big pharma? What about large ISPs, who for instance oppose net neutrality? Are they included in the 1%?

Do you find any value in notions like "freedom" and "independence"? "Choice"? "Free will"? If not, by all means do root for the one-world government, 1984/Brave New World mixture of a future with total control over every human being that globalists want.

thekitchensink posted...

Is it that you are concerned that globalism will lead to a dystopian future in which individuality is stamped out? Is it that you fear globalism will lead to too much concentrated power and too many one-size-fits-all solutions?

Yes. The end-goals of globalism are, roughly, the following:
- One-world government giving total control in the hands of central bankers and global corporations
- Destruction of nations and peoples, mixing all nations into a grey mass, so that nobody feels any duty and loyalty to anyone but the aforementioned masters
- Destruction of morality and human values, of the belief in something bigger than the self, of everything that makes us human; replacing all morality with mindless consumerism and hedonism, endless human arrogance, the general belief that humans are gods, that human "science" is almighty and a replacement for God (something a scaringly huge amount of people already literally believe in)

In essence, if allowed to reach its logical conclusion, globalism would mean the end of everything good, everything that humanity has worked for millennia to achieve. Gone would be the dreams of sailing the stars. The planet would eventually collapse on itself, and we would die in trash and nuclear waste, because you cannot advance mankind when you have forsaken the belief in something bigger than yourself.

"The 1%" are not all necessarily globalists. But evidently, most of them - or at least most of the ones in the spotlight - are. Obviously, I don't like any of the multinational corporations. "Big pharma" and the food industry do a huge harm to us in the name of profit... That is completely despicable.

But first things first. Once we destroy the ability for central banking and multinational corporations to thrive at the expense of small and mid-size companies, nations and peoples, we'll also take care of the harmful consequences of their unchecked power.
