Without Tolkein's genius, all the the rich mythology of elves, fairies, trolls, orcs etc.. might have been just a literary footnote.
Without the Fantasy genre he established, anime might never have had fantasy and isekai.
No dark elves, no adventurers with unlikely harems, just endless mecha and school drama.
Trump and Elon dismantling USAID seems like I'm in a waking dream. I never thought it was possible to go for the head of the hydra so quickly.
Apart from The Duran who always do great work, the best coverage of this I've seen comes from Jimmy Dore of all people.
All the regime change, all the election rigging, Ukraine, the detailed mechanics of Globohomo, all of it headed by USAID.

A thread by X user @jonkonrad: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1886916890427318673.html
"I opened my NYTimes app today. They’re trying, but they can’t keep up. News that broke just hours ago is already off the homepage.
THIS IS CRUCIAL
The entire liberal deep state command and control system is broken. Let me explain 🧵"
This thread aims at explaining how the Deep State manages to keep the Media unified in its messaging, and how Trump is applying maneuver warfare to overwhelm it.
With Doge and all the USAID corruption, one thing that's undeniably clear now is that @Tfmonkey was correct all along; it was the gubmint, all of it.
Credit where it's due.
@houseoftolstoy What I need go see with all this money shit is RICO act usage to engage in mass arrests of the political class and ship them off to El Salvadorian prisons to be untouchable by the system to punish them. No sacred cows in enforcement.
I get that DOGE is not making significant headway on cutting spending, but knowing that our tax dollars are funding leftist faggotry in so many ways, I consider that a win more than how much spending is cut for the time being.
In order for it to have meaningful cuts, we are going to need much bigger cuts with spending on sacred cows. And considering the bitching and moaning leftists are doing already, we must expect a far worse, including riots.
A few of my recent go-to links to keep up with all the winning:
1. Doge on X: https://nitter.poast.org/doge
2. The US Debt Clock, now with added Doge savings: https://usdebtclock.org/
3. fednews subreddit to watch them all panic and freak the fuck out: https://farside.link/libreddit/r/fednews
Warning, if you're a fellow noticer, you can now be prosecuted for your online "anti-semitic" remarks.
Donald (((J.))) Trump, the billionaire who survived multiple non-staged assassination attempts at the hands of the "european globalists" (so goes the controlled opposition narrative anyway), has recently signed an executive order with the purpose to "combat anti-Semitism vigorously, using all available and appropriate legal tools" (including 18 U.S.C. 241).

@Tfmonkey You keep saying you lost graphs. This guy did a pretty good article/summary of Nordic country data in graphs about economic impact for immigrants and their children. Worth taking a look, hopefully it helps.

Both my dad and my mother-in-law/father-in-law give me a window in the perceptions of the older generations. They are right in the older demographic conservative voters that are capable of having hope that "Trump is going to get things done and fix America."
I wish I could share that optimism. But I cannot, knowing what I know of our country and understanding that unlike them, I am going to have to face whatever happens to the US in the coming years of hard times.
