Jewnited Snakes Adds Chinese Video Game Maker Tencent to List of “Chinese Military Companies”

"America is trying to create a situation where you don’t have any choice. You have to play [games with trannies] or just sit by yourself trying to deal with your own miserable thoughts.

The US will not tolerate freedoms. You have to have trannies. The entire media threw an absolute fit over Black Myth: Wukong in 2024, with game reviewers actually giving it a lower score based on the fact it did not include trannies."

Shill Account Runner's Note: This pisses me off more than just about anything the U.S. government has done in recent years. God fucking forbid I have a choice to play video games without faggot tranny shit. The Chinese are fucking terrorists because they want to sell me good video games.

IFT-7 full stack. The launch and landing attempt of this giant rocket (bigger than the Saturn V!) is NET T-minus 4 days.

NAS is definitely much more free speech than X. The same is true for DRC and FSE.

This is why Dailystormer Digest posts from DRC now, instead of Poast. The level of speech allowed on Poast is about the same as X (you can thank Myles Poland and his tradcuck crew for that).

On American expansionism.

The incoming administration seems to have a more realistic image of the state of American hegemonial decline and wants to take proactive steps to try to counteract and reverse it, breathing new life into the American Global Empire.

In this context, it makes perfect sense for the US to increase pressure on its vassals. I am not using the term in a pejorative sense. The US does not have “allies” in the traditional meaning of the word. It has vassals with different levels of feudal obligations and elite integration, and different tasks. Extracting more value from vassals -- whether through tariffs, increased NATO budgets, meddling in local politics or potential territorial concessions -- is an absolutely logical step in cementing and renewing America's position as overlord of its sphere.

There are three ways America's European vassals can react to this: look for protection outside of the sphere, try to make themselves more useful/necessary & advance integration, or take it on the face. Were we in, I don't know, the 19th century, Denmark would just ask Russia for military support in Greenland in exchange for mild economic concessions and never worry again. As it is, the Royal Danish Army does not have any artillery anymore because they gave it all away for the purpose of firing cluster ammunition at Russian children in Donetsk. They did not receive anything in return for that and it did not help any Danish purpose. They cannot defend themselves if push comes to shove and they can't ask anybody to help because most of their fellow vassals have done the same. The most likely option is that they'll just take it on the face. Not just for pragmatic reasons, but also because they genuinely enjoy being dommed geopolitically.

America has no obligation to treat its vassals better. I've seen Danish people complain on here about supporting the US after 9/11, participating in the American wars in the Middle East, etc. That's ridiculous. You know how a colony is rewarded for sending troops to its overlord's wars? It doesn't get beaten. That's the reward for a lackey. Any person who takes any of the NATO democracy liberalism pilpul seriously is just not a serious person, it was never real, it was always just voluntary submission to be absolved from existing in History.

The world that existed in 1991-2022 does not exist anymore. It's not coming back. You can just invade your neighbor. You can just fire missiles at international shipping lanes. You can just threaten to annex members of your military alliance. “You can just do things”, as the techbros like to say. The mirage of a post-historical order that only has to be policed from time to time but is never seriously challenged has disappeared. What did you think canceling the End of History meant? Vibes? Papers? Essays?

It's not pleasant to be suddenly confronted with all of the above. It's not pleasant to have to admit to yourself that your existence was a coddled theme park that is existentially dependent on the relative position of someone else and how he feels about that relative position. America's vassals WILL have to confront this state of things and make hard decisions about their future. This means reckoning with their geopolitical impotence and either embracing dependency with open eyes or seeking pathways to autonomy that will inevitably involve risk, sacrifice, and a recalibration of their national priorities.

The era of coasting on borrowed security and ideological rhetoric is over. What lies ahead is a world where historical agency must be reclaimed or forever relinquished, and for many, the question may not be whether they are ready to make that leap, but whether they even remember how. America has now understood this -- and is mentally preparing to switch back to the cold logic that comes with actual History. The times, they are a-changin'.

Ship 33's landing pins. Ship 33 won't land at the OLM tower for IFT-7 (it will attempt landing in the Indian Ocean). This will test how the landing fittings survive Mach 25 re-entry.

Once your culture is infected with deep meme malware there is no way out but conquest or collapse.

What a coincidence.
So-called moderates are mimicking populist demagogues, with potentially disastrous consequences

It was once known as the “centre right”, and this was the year it definitively perished. It never had a coherent political philosophy, but it tended to blend deference to the perceived needs of large business interests, the championing of so-called traditional values that were actually longstanding prejudices, and admiration for established institutions. Above all else, it supposedly offered a cordon sanitaire, preventing anything further to the right from acquiring political legitimacy.

That hasn’t quite worked to plan. Nigel Farage now claims his populist-right Reform party has a higher membership than the Tories: if true, it is the first time in British history that members of a rightwing rival have outnumbered the Conservative party’s. Nearly two decades ago, then Tory leader, David Cameron, dismissed Farage’s Ukip as “fruitcakes and loonies and closet racists mostly”; but today, Cameron’s party has ceded ideological ground to its challengers and the current Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, is fighting Reform on Farage’s terrain...

Despite his Ukip-bashing, Cameron played a pivotal role in making immigration the toxic centrepiece of British politics, and was a key architect of Brexit. Former Tory peer and party chair Sayeeda Warsi voiced her concerns about key Cameron ally Michael Gove’s views about British Muslims. Zac Goldsmith’s vile Islamophobic campaign for London mayor happened under Cameron’s watch. Liz Truss was one of the rightwing firebrands promoted by Cameron’s “A-list”.

Brexit was a watershed moment that saw the party adopt a populist demagoguery that breached the walls of any remaining cordon sanitaire. Theresa May lobbed grenades at it with her notorious 2016 “citizens of nowhere” speech. Boris Johnson found himself applauded by far-right extremists. After her benighted premiership tanked, Truss joined the US far-right speaker circuit, savaging the “deep state” alongside the likes of Steve Bannon.
