Got locked out of this account again. Double checked that Google doesn't have a phone number on record for me. It doesn't. So, when they say, "please enter your phone number, so that we can verify it's you", what they're actually doing is fishing for data they don't have. Scumbags.
Anyway, inauguration is taking place in a few hours. I haven't heard any reports of violent mobs gathering. So far, not even any lone-idiot attacks. Post below if you hear otherwise.
Also, no pardon for Assange. Cunts.
miscellany
Here's a thought: When was the last time you saw a really good romantic sub-plot in a television show? And I don't just mean, "when was the last time you saw a show with a romantic sub-plot?", I mean a seriously GOOD one. One that left a lasting impression. I feel like I just about have to go back to Buffy The Vampire Slayer to find something that made a mark. Is there actually tons of good stuff out there that I haven't seen, or am I on to something here?
Listened to a podcast this week which investigated a group known as "AtomWaffen". They're basically an American-based cult, which mixes white-nationalism with Satanism, paedophilia, and shit about human-sacrifice. Apparently, their membership is almost entirely composed of young men, and their leader is a woman named Jillian Hoy, who—judging by the evidence laid out in the podcast—seems very likely to be an FBI asset. Anyway, like any good cult leader, Jillian sleeps with all of her followers. In fact, this is supposedly a right of passage for gaining entry into the group, and Jillian's feminine charms are integral to keeping the membership enthralled and obedient.
Here's what Jillian looks like:
Now, I wouldn't say she's not attractive, but I kinda expected more from a master seductress, y'know? Like, is that the barrier to entry for anyone who wants to have a cult of horny male disciples who will literally do anything you tell them? Jesus, I really did squander my youth, didn't I?

Well I for one am relieved that nothing happened. However, the NYT podcast interviewed a bunch of Trump voters and it's clear that the majority of them think the storming of the Capitol was justified. Which is INSANE
Be interesting to see what happens next, but again, if I were a liberal in the US, I'd be buying guns or attempting to emigrate or at least moving to a blue state.
I don't think I'd like a harem. Sounds exhausting. Even when I was young and sexxed-up, I was pretty monogamous. She doesn't look like much, but most men don't care if they are going to get their end away.
I think there's probably a lot more than just those Trump supporters who like the idea of storming the Capitol. The only point of contention is with who's doing the storming. For instance, if it was a mob of Black Lives Matter rioters, I'll bet a shit-load of woke lefties would totally be on board.
Don't forget the months-long riots we saw last year, and the excuses that were trotted out to justify the burning and looting of homes and businesses. Hell, there was even an anarcho-communist militia that seized a couple of city blocks in Seattle, and ran their own "independent state" for about six weeks there. Also, don't forget that Antifa did actually riot during Trump's inauguration in 2017. From memory, they didn't attack any government buildings, but they did march through the streets smashing windows and breaking open ATM machines.
No, I doubt there's that many people who are genuinely upset over a bunch of utterly corrupt pollies getting the wind put up them. The real reason you're seeing all this pearl clutching coming from the left is because they see the Trump crowd as their mortal enemies, they smell the blood in the water, and they're thinking they might get a chance to crush said enemies with state power.
At least in the short term, I wouldn't be too worried about seeing mob violence committed by Trump supporters. To the contrary, it's the woke lefties talking about how all former Trump supporters have to be rooted out and "dealt with". Meanwhile, the Q-Tards have been left utterly broken and demoralised by Trump's obvious betrayal of them. You should listen to some of these people crying and babbling about how nothing in the world makes sense anymore. I've heard a few people speculating about whether or not we're going to see a wave of "Q-icides".
But, it's not going to be like that forever. As I said earlier, most non-GOP-affiliated right-wingers abandoned Trump half way through his presidency, and they're already strategising on ways to pull these lost souls into their own ranks. Combine this with the persecution these people are going to face from the woke left (as I talked about earlier) and the scene is set for even further radicalisation of the right, and an increase in left-right hostilities.
Of course, the irony is that the Democrat and Republican office-holders are now so closely aligned on their political agenda, that they might as well just be a single party.
America is heading down the shitter and Australia needs to start prepping. We have all the agricultural, mineral, and energy resources we need to be self-sufficient. We need to restart our industrial sector and get our own nukes.
Also, you don't have the harem to get the sex, you use the sex to control the harem. Provided you have the stamina, what it gets you is a small legion of followers who think the sun shines out of your arse to the point where they will literally do anything you tell them.
Also, no suggestions for TV shows with good romantic sub-plots?
While I don't agree with any violent protest, I don't think there's a moral equivalence between the BLM protesters and the armed insurrectionists who tried to take down their own government.
I don't think the Left sees Trumpists as mortal enemies. I do think that Hillary Clinton hit the nail on the head when she described them as a "basket of deplorables". Something that can be thought but should never have been voiced. The problem is that the positions have become so entrenched now that it's hard to see the extreme left or the extreme right ever seeing the error of their ways and maybe moderating their actions and language a little and give a gentle step towards the centre with aim of bringing greater cohesion to their country. I too am exhausted by my woke lefty friends and their self-righteousness. Especially the bloody vegan ones! And the irony is that I agree with everything they say, I'm just more realistic and a little less self-righteous about it. (Mr Suze and I were discussing the language we should use for the upcoming public holiday, and I do not like Invasion Day because - while true - it's a descriptor that creates negativity on both sides and increases division, and Survival Day, which I like because it's more positive, surely cannot be used by someone such as myself who's so ridiculously white? And Australia Day is wrong because really it's just the day they landed in Botany Bay and has nothing to do with the Federation of Australia now... I wish they'd picked a day other than New Year's Day to declare Australia a Federation of States, so we could have a proper Australia Day.)
I do agree that Australia should abandon the failed experiment that is globalisation and go back to buying and making its own goods, even if that means they are more expensive and (in the case of cars, at least) of lower quality. We need to be producing enough petrol to cover our needs and we need to be prioritising our on-shore needs for things like LNG rather than shipping it overseas while we pay more here. We need to be able to build our own weapons and tanks and planes and so on, and stop giving our iron ore and everything else away to China and resume smelting it here into steel and then use it to build things. I'm hoping that the govt isn't so blind to what's happening overseas that they are beginning to turn an eye to this, even unofficially.
Romantic sub-plots? I'm really struggling here. Lately Mr Suze (and therefore I) have been watching Studio Ghibli because we are way behind on that front (so maybe Howl's Moving Castle?) and Star Trek Deep Space Nine (which has them, but you've seen it all before, I'm sure), and I've been watching The Bureau on SBS on Demand (which does have one, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it for that unless you like spy dramas, because it's brilliant for that). And rewatching guilty pleasures like Con Air, Terminator 2 and Pacific Rim. Have you ever watched Wonderfalls? That is delightful AND has a romantic subplot, but alas was only one incomplete season because that was the era in which shows were axed if they didn't immediately have a huge following. Along those lines, Middleman.
I ran waaaay over the character limit with this, so I had to split it up a bit.
I don't think there's a moral equivalence between the BLM protesters and the armed insurrectionists who tried to take down their own government.
I do think that Hillary Clinton hit the nail on the head when she described them as a "basket of deplorables".
I've had about 24hrs to mull this over, and I'd like to hear an expanded version of why you think these things.
I don't think the Left sees Trumpists as mortal enemies.
I'm talking specifically about the WOKE left.
They refer to Trumpists as white-supremacist Nazi fascists. White-supremacist Nazi fascists don't support Trump. I know, because I've been listening to their podcasts for the last four years—and quite frankly, I'm more in line with their economic policies than I am with most modern lefties (I'm more national socialist than global socialist).
They also believe that it's okay to violently attack anyone who holds "Nazi" viewpoints, because Nazi speech leads to genocide, so really, it's just a form of pre-emptive self defence. Do you remember when that weasely little prick ran up and punched Richard Spencer in the face, while he was being interviewed on the street? Do you remember that Twitter had that video proudly pinned to their front page for about a month after that, and actively promoted the hashtag #PunchANazi?
At any point over the last four years, where any vaguely right-wing personality has attempted to speak, there's been a contingent of Antifa show up and cause some amount of property damage.
Do you remember when those three black activists kidnapped that white retard (literal retard) and live-streamed themselves scalping him (literally cutting off pieces of his scalp) while raving about white supremacist Trump supporters?
Do you remember when that one BLM activist got on a roof with a rifle and started sniping cops? Killed about a half dozen, if memory serves.
I saw a video posted by a BLM supporter a while back, in which they use a road-block to stop a car. Someone yells, "Dere white people in dat car. Beat dey ass." At which point they drag the occupants from the car and beat their asses, while a woman in the background shrieks, "White babies. Dey won't listen 'till we kill white babies."
I saw an opinion piece the other day in—what was it? The Washington Post? Whatever—that referred to Trump's supporters as the multi-cultural face of "Whiteness". To be clear, Whiteness (capital W) is a blanket term that covers bigotry, oppression, colonialism, etc. Kinda like if I used the term Blackness to describe alcoholism and laziness, even when it was being exhibited by white people.
The problem is that the positions have become so entrenched now that it's hard to see the extreme left or the extreme right ever seeing the error of their ways and maybe moderating their actions and language a little and give a gentle step towards the centre with aim of bringing greater cohesion to their country
Let's take a look at the world as it is, rather than how we might wish it was, shall we? When whites arrived here in Australia, the Aboriginal people had organised themselves into tribes. Each tribe had its own territory, which it defended from the other neighbouring tribes, and each tribe had its own language, customs, culture, stories, and strict rules which governed sexual practices and social interactions.
This is the basic state of man that you will find all over the world, for as long as there has been history. Yes, you can point to exceptions here and there, but they're usually few and far between, and they usually precede some sort of revolt, uprising, or societal collapse.
Let's have a look at where Trumpists are coming from. First of all, their communities have been crushed economically—which is a topic big enough for its own post—so we'll just focus on the social stuff here. Sixty years ago (less than a single human lifespan), they were living in communities that were—for the most part—ethnically, and culturally homogeneous, where the social rules were strict, but clear and well defined, and would have felt natural to most people who grew up with them. Interracial marriage: No!; pornography: No!; Sodomy: No! White supremacy: Kinda. I mean, if you're an aborigine living in pre-colonial Australia, you're just going to assume that the interests of your tribe are "supreme" on your patch of land.
Since then you've not only had racial desegregation, but you've had a mass importation of people from all over the world, who've brought their own languages, customs, cultures, etc. Along with this has come the expectation that these new cultures should have equal status to the pre-existing norms. Naturally, this has caused friction. You've now got books like "White Fragility" on the best sellers list, and people are being forced to do courses at work where they get lectures about "white privilege", "unconscious bias", and "micro-aggressions".
There's an old video of then vice-president Biden going around at the moment, where he talks about how proud he is that people of white European ancestry are becoming a minority in America. Meanwhile, white marriage and birth rates have fallen off a cliff.
There's an unlimited stream of the most violent, extreme, disturbing pornography imaginable available to any ten-year-old who can get their hands on a phone. Sex work has become normalised, thanks to sites like OnlyFans. Gay pride parades have gone from a thing where "normal" looking homosexuals demanded equal rights, to fetish celebrations featuring adults wearing nappies, men dressed as little girls, and people in rubber dog costumes with dildos strapped to their heads. And that's just here in Australia. I've seen videos from overseas that feature floats carrying gay orgies, complete with people urinating into the crowds.
Now you've got big burly men demanding to be allowed to compete in women's sport—and if you're vocally opposed to that, you can lose your Twitter account, lose your job, possibly lose your bank account (which is a disturbing new trend), and if you're living in the UK, the metropolitan police might show up at your home or place of employment to inform you that, even though you haven't technically committed a crime, they'd like to conduct an interview, just to "check your thinking".
And if you think that's where it's stopping, you'd be wrong. In 2020, after years of lobbying, Twitter finally relaxed its terms of service regarding paedophilic content. This was to provide a safe-space for non-offending MAP's (minor attracted persons), which is the new, politically correct term for a paedo. So, discussing your desire to fuck children: Yes! Refusing to accept that male-to-female transgenders are the same as biological women: No!
The problem is that the positions have become so entrenched now that it's hard to see the extreme left or the extreme right ever seeing the error of their ways and maybe moderating their actions and language a little and give a gentle step towards the centre with aim of bringing greater cohesion to their country
Let's be real about what's going on here. The "extreme right" haven't changed their views in the last sixty years. If anything, a lot of them have actually shifted considerably towards the left. But the left has run a 100 million miles, before turning around and declaring that the position they themselves occupies half a century ago is "radical" and "extreme". "Oh, if only the right would show some good faith, and shift 50 million miles towards our new position—y'know—for the sake of unity. Meanwhile, we'll be shifting even further left, and writing articles about how Whiteness is the literal embodiment of evil, or some shit".
If you look at my original post, I was specifically looking for really, really GOOD romantic sub-plots. Like ones that are so good, they leave an impression and stay with you. My argument being that it's a dying art.
I don't remember Star Trek DS9 having anything that memorable, but it's been a long time. Which characters are you referring to? I have seen Wonderfalls, a long, long time ago. Thought it was great, but again, don't remember the romance.
By the way, there was a show called Dead Like Me, which was also pretty good, and I believe it was done by the same people who did Wonderfalls, and contains a bunch of the story ideas they didn't get to use. Sadly, it too got cut short, but I'd recommend checking it out anyway, if you haven't seen it.
I've never understood the appeal of Con Air, even as a guilty pleasure. A lot of people I know like it, and I don't know why. Same goes for The Matrix.
*** Something did come to me as I was writing this. The last on-screen romance I saw that actually touched me was in a children's cartoon that the nibblings were watching. How's that for lame.
I don't know what to do about Australia Day. If people in NSW want to commemorate the founding of NSW, I'm fine with that, but Australia Day should commemorate the founding of the federation. However, as you say, doing that basically makes the holiday disappear into New-Year's.
So, what date should you have it?
Obviously, I have no answers to this question.
I'm glad we at least see eye-to-eye on globalisation. It floors me how many lefties have become globalists over the last 30 years.
