Sucker!
“… just the same – only worse”: Presumably that translates as even more minarets in France and most of the rest of the West.
The conventional view will characterize this as an unhealthy "loss of trust" or "divisiveness" in our society. But I think it will be healthy, as the officially sanctioned experts are currently agenda-driven hacks using garbage-in/garbage-out models to manufacture consent. Good riddance to the Imperial Colleges and Dr. Faucis of the world.Replies: @anon

C'est elementaire, mon cher Watson.
I’ve been saying that for weeks. Everybody’s been saying that. That’s how crises work now, always.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/researcher-verge-making-very-significant-030320409.html
He’s so nihilistic he married a Chinese woman. That’s when you know a man has given up.
Anyways,
He’s wrong.
People will just dig in their heels and become more ‘Them’ after this virus.
The Christians who home-school will become more home-schooly.
The mothers who work and drink wine…will work more to catch up and drink more wine and breathe a sigh of relief that they don’t have to hang out with their interracial children anymore and can shove them off to daycare
P.S. – My facebook page has gone back to pre-Covid with my favorite brands only feature interracial families
That being said,
I predict….
– Lower Immigration for 1-2 years…Just cuz immigrants themselves may not want to move…the grass is not always greener on the other side!
– Trump could very well lose the election
– I agree with Hollebec (yes it’s misspelled) …Social Isolation will last 1-2 years…which is bad because think of All The First Dates of Possible Marriages Lost
– Marriage rate will go down because of above…People not meeting in Groups Meaning More Marriages Lost
– However….The Good Thing….Because this will Force Middle Ground People to Be More Extreme
So People who are in the Middle but borderline Christian Trad will move closer to Christian Trad (People becoming more of who they are)
Good small things:
-Masks on Planes—Finally! Should have had that policy FOR YEARS
– Natural Health Industry Boom
– People questioning living in Apartment Ant Hills not just for health safety, but also comfort
Bad Thing:
Liberal Establishment May Get Stronger if they put Newsom or Cuomo up Against Trump
I can see the Liberal Establishment getting stronger on a governmental Level…although as people become ‘More Them’ and leave the ‘Middle Ground’ we’ll see more Conservative Types Emerge
Interesting.
Great Thing:

I’m skeptical. You’ll probably see a drift toward one side or the other.Hard to say. I’d say it *would* weaken the grasp of neoliberalism (woke capital/socially liberal economically conservative), but then I’d like to think that because I think that’s the direction America needs to go in.
Favoring social right:
*Immigration looks worse now. The behavioral immune system evolved to prevent disease transmission, after all.
*People are going to move out of cities. Sparse living favors Republicans.
Favoring social left:

Would that it were true. From your lips to god's ears.
* The US can't support its current population under the existing system (e.g. public health in cities, White Death in countryside).
* COVID-19 is reducing US carrying capacity (e.g. partial failure of food chain).
* Proposed "changes" that amplify the existing system (e.g. introduction of a "command economy" to "increase the effectiveness of COVID-19 response" will further reduce US carrying capacity.
* US political strife has reached the point where both sides are arresting or about to arrest members of the other side (See: _Anatomy of a Revolution_)
This suggests that the US is entering into an interregnum that will terminate in a new system.
Similar changes are happening throughout the West.
China has apparently reached the end of both its export economy and its capital expenditure boom (as did Japan a few decades back) and will have even more troubles supporting its population, as the resources needed are the far ends of sea lanes currently protected by the US Navy, which will not be able to protect given an interregnum in CONUS. (Interesting acronym, CONUS. Sort of like the US Navy's call sign for its Commander in Chief, Pacific during early WW II: CINCUS. What's the polite reply to that? "Don't mind if I do.", perhaps?).
Instability ahead, guys, probably starting seriously within the next two months (by 2020-07-05) when the indictments over the Flin and Russia Gate come out, as they will -- if Trump doesn't do that, he's toast, no instinct for the jugular and his opponents simply continue to attack, while his supporters will realize just how dangerous their position really is and start to run, perhaps to other leaders, perhaps just run in circles.
The interregnum will be great for future generations, maybe not so great for us.
My best guess is the guy was writing from life as an unsuccessful quasi-incel avant la lettre earlier in life, and was able to carry forward that perspective later on to keep appealing to people who feel like that and feel their voice is unheard. (For evolutionary reasons, nobody cares too much about unsuccessful men.)

Eh, you can kind of ‘punch above your weight’ with Asian women due to the mean height difference. (Asian men and black women have an awful time on dating sites, as Steve said years ago.) Also the greater amount of body hair is a real turn-on to some (it’s exotic *and* masculine).
They tend to be really bossy when they get their hooks into you, though.
But, yeah, Hollywood and Madison Avenue are run by fags, so we end up with big dumb superhero movies featuring buff shirtless guys with six-packs and perfectly formed pecs and not a single stray hair on their chesty chest chests.
Marrying any Asian woman of the yellow type, starting from Russian Siberia (the various local ehtnicities, like the ones in Steven Seagal’s ancestry), through Mongolia, then Korea, China, Japan, down to Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and then east to Myanmar; from the slit-eyed minorities of Russia, to the snazzy East Asians, to the slower Indochina people–is all way, way, better deal than marrying white. It just is. On their own home turf, that is, not in the GloboHomo weest.
The home turf yellow chick is possesive, and will rather slit your throat than let you go, but she won’t cheat on you and she won’t pretend you abused her.
Unless you marry a prostitute, the rest will not have gone through a cock carouselle, will not be covered in tatts, and will not be a walking bucket of STDs
Uniting white stock and yellow stock produces Siberian Russians–the best Russians. White+Yellow trumps White+Turkic, when the white is Slavic, and should also work thusly with the Germanic tribes.
Yellow gits can Jew over Jews–which is why world Jewry is now trying to sabotage and dismantle China. White stock+yellow stock is much better at standing up to Jewish tricks than simple white stock.
And lastly–white women go through the following stages of attractivness:
1) The Lolita stage–fertility kicks in, but they’re still ethereal elves and faeries
2) The post-Lolita stage kicks in–they start looking like clumsy dwarf copies of proper women
3) Around 20 they stop being ludicrous dwarf women and turn into real well-proportioned young women
4) At 30 they start the transition to looking like dudes in drag.
5) At 40 they look like dudes in drag.
By middle age you’re basically banging Rod Steward in a wig, when you’ve married white.
Whereas the yellow chick of good stock only has the lolita stage all the way to 20, then the well-proportioned young woman stage until menopause, and only then does she start looking like a white woman in her 30s, but before actually turning into a dude in drag, it’s already the “grandma stage”.
So more power to Houellebecq. Although he should have done this outside of GloboHomo society, to ensure sane female behavior, but maybe France is still better than the Anglosphere and there will no “I mentally withdrew my consent for 10 minutes in between my love for him”.

See, this is what happens when no one studies Latin or Greek anymore.
Western Mediterranean looking white women (and men) age pretty well. Look at Catherine Zeta Jones and Monica Belucci. No real aging until they were around 50. My coloring and ancestry is close to Jones's- I'm 30 going on 31 now, but looking at photos my peak was around 27. I was goofy looking a decade before that. Same thing with my parents, looking at old photos. My only blondish grandparent looked best when he was around 20.
From the article:
“But he warned that the self-distancing and “home-working that the epidemic has brought” would accelerate the technological push to isolate and atomise people.”
Working from home is something that, for most people, is likely to be very very psychologically unhealthy.
We're also likely to see a boom in incel numbers. In fact we'll have more and more people who are entirely socially inept. Incapable of even the most basic social interactions. The future will belong to incels and crazy cat ladies.

Quaint ideas like America producing its own medical supplies will vanish overnight from media and political discourse and you’ll never hear of it again.

Christ or Chaos means not that if you reject Christ and Christendom you will begin to produce something moving toward Libertarian paradise of free choices but that when you reject Christendom you you start to move into chaos of all sorts that will rip everything from under not just nations and local communities but individuals.
If Houellebecq were, say, an Evelyn Waugh, a serious convert to the Catholic Church, his novels never would have taken off, nor been allowed to take off. The bitter agnostic who writes the truth that all the 19th century and early 20th century movements into total secularism and all the post WW2 Liberalisms are adding up to Hell on earth starting in a hollowed out soul of Everyman can be accepted as a crank or, obversely, a prophet thundering that we have no choice but to accept this worsening nightmare. He can be accepted if he says that a bored acceptance of Sharia law is the most likely outcome.
But he cannot be allowed anything that seems like respect, anything that might help him find a few readers if he even hints that it is Christ and Christendom or Chaos.

A lot of writers need a spouse who is effectively a superego to their id. Bossiness may be what he wants, or at least, what he knows he needs.
The artistic types tend not to be very business minded or responsible, hence why a spouse who is a nerd and tough negotiator can keep the artistic one both in the black and relevant.

They say the worst thing that can happen to a band is making it big.
Suddenly, all the problems that inspired their great songs are gone. Poverty—gone. Lack of access to the cool parties—gone. Social ostrichization—-gone. Being under the thumb of mommy/daddy/a crappy landlord/the law—-gone. Women rejecting them, girlfriends cheating on them with jocks/rich guys, girlfriends leaving them for being directionless and unsuccessful—GONE, BABY, GONE.
They might crank out some good odes to fame and excess, which might sustain another hit album, since their fans can live vicariously through them for a bit. Heck, that’s what 80’s hairbands and 2000s rap stars did.
But they really can no longer relate to the fellow losers they used to sing to about their shared troubles. Their later stuff may actually be better—technically more brilliant, more intellectual, deeper—but it leaves their fans cold, because it doesn’t relate to their lives anymore. So they stop drawing the big stadiums and usually break up or go quiet while they try to “find” their voice again.

He hasn’t one word for the millions who will loose their job. Out of’ 25 millions people in the private sector, the government is paying 80% pay to 13 million people, on top of the 1,5 unemployed. Even if the government is trying to smooth the transition, some business won’t reopen, and people will be unemployed. It’s true that in France unemployement is generous : 23 months, 36 months if your more than 55yo, almost full pay with a limit amount of up to 8400$ per month (7700€). On top of that, there are list of social help for housing, food, health care is free, school is free up to PhD level (some universities pay their students).
But for the bottom half White people, the yellow jacket, who had a very modest life (no jobs), it will be much worse.
City centers which are very rich and animated, the European big advantage for urban people compared to everywhere else – you got beauty and culture and jobs and social life – maybe become much more rough : but if we had a crime, prostitution, drugs, violent center, their would be lower prices and more artists and young people . It may be a fun experience to live this.

White Anglos are just too lazy, decadent, selfish, and are too much of slobs to function well in a society compared to East Asians, they used to be able to compensate for that by having a slightly greater amount of inventiveness, back in the 19th to early 20th century, although once the East Asians caught on they were able to improve on things faster, like the Long Lance torpedo, optical rangefinders in WW2, Sony vs. RCA, or Toyota vs the Big Three, but now that is gone also, and now they are just lazy decadent disorganized selfish individualistic slobs.
China decided to not sacrifice its elderly and sick to save the economy, and they are going to come out of this better than countries like the US or Sweden that did. Unless you believe that China suppressed it’s numbers by a factor of 10 and that you still have tend of thousands of cases in the China that the government is keeping hidden, in which case you need to check into a mental institution.

I think the posits here are predictive but not descriptive of the population at large. Most men in the west still I still think that when we eventually create general purpose A.I. that it will destroy humanity prefer and seek out women to marry and raise families. That there might be more of the noted characteristics than previous periods pf time does jot require any unique insight.
And this episode may have done more to promote family and heterosexual normative relationships than any other.
Like him or not, Houellebecq is one of the last original thinkers who publicly dares to challenge the groupthink. Concerning our fascination with youth, nowhere it is more pronounced as it is in America. Hell, every other movie here seems to be about some high-school kids with their popularity as the most important life issue.

except in America. between now and january 2021, the US will be transferred to permanent Democrat control, and it will go downhill rapidly. it won’t be a slow and steady decline, which is what i expected and calculated over the last 20 years of thinking about it. instead, i now realize in quick order the US we knew will cease to exist. people are about to be astounded how far downhill the US can go after 2 or 3 Democrat Presidents in a row.
as the US Navy goes down to diversity, the balance of power on the planet will change more quickly towards China than people are expecting. contra Houellebecq on this one issue, we are at a historical inflection point.

Houellebecq punches WELL above his weight, and not due to height but because of his fame and intellectual chops. He is not much to look at. This is his own Facebook profile picture, which he has clearly selected to cast himself in the worst possible light. I have seen homeless people on the subway who look better than this. When he is cleaned up he looks slightly better but could never be mistaken for a movie star. As far as I can tell, he has a cigarette in his hand during every waking moment or at least at any time that he allows himself to be photographed.
Li is not exactly a beauty queen either. She is only 30 (34 years younger that Houellebecq) but she looks more like 40 and Asian women usually look younger than their actual age.

Christ this bloke Houllebecq looks like a vagrant. Why doesn’t he smarten himself up, cut his hair, have a shave, put on a suit and tie for the cameras? He can’t be hard up. Why has he got to be so slovenly in his appearance? Is it some sort of juvenile French affectation that writers and “intellectuals” have got to look this way? I bet Rene Descartes didn’t.
I can't imagine what that would be, however. It's not like he's running for the French Senate, or something. He's just some guy.
Disagree. Old people have all the power and wealth in the west. I live in Vegas and witness lots of homelessness, the vast majority are young people – 20’s to 40. Many seem to be just waiting to die. And drugs are not the cause. Poverty, the stress that poverty causes and the resulting mental illness from that stress are the primary causes of this homelessness. We have a poor vulnerable population and, wages are low, housing scarce and old people bring in millions of foreigners, year after year, decade after decade, to compete with our young, all to signal their virtue or acquire access to cheap labor. Damn the old. Damn them. I wish this corona thing could take 10 million of them down.
Old people, especially government workers, have their nice pensions, their medicare. They have little to worry about. Many young people have nothing, nothing to look forward to, and their very youth can seem like a colossal, diabolical trick, in that they have decades of more of this to endure. Little wonder the allure of fentanyl. Old people/boomers did this to them. I curse the old. Damn them.

There is more to life than procreation, especially for men. But no wonder most people in USA peak in high-school.
Too bad Trump married himself to the bogus covid forecast models. He absolutely f***ing married them and he still won’t throw any shade on them when he should’ve been throwing shade the entire time.
This is Trump’s totally flawed False Flag Jujitsu strategy same as employed during Syria white helmets fiasco.
So Fauci & Birx maintain some credibility all this time when they should’ve already been utterly destroyed.
The 6 points Trump picked up in Gallup poll are not people who will actually vote for him. When he sounds/acts like a democrat he drifts higher in Gallup.
Cannot believe he hasn’t thrown Fauci Birx Mafia under the bus and now they are moving hard on their vaccine blackmail scheme.
USA has 7000-8000 deaths per day as normal mortality in a country of 330 million. The Mafia can farm a % of these deaths and MARK THEM DOWN COVID essentially forever.
Just like his refusal to shitcan FBI director Ray there is just no good explanation for Trump’s non-action.
Americans signed up for 2 weeks max.
After that, Trump should have pivoted.
He could have hammered on the NYC death rates as an example of the Rich Liberal Democreeps Killing People (Nursing homes, cheap labor in hospitals, etc etc)
By doing so he could have destroyed Cuomo and De Blasio.
And then an executive order opening LA's beaches would have destroyed Newsom.
Any death toll would not have been blamed upon him as it's a virus, he did two-week lockdown to flatten the curve, can't do much more to stop a virus.
Free masks for all, if possible (probably not possible but you get the idea)
Explanation for Trump's Inaction:
There is a youtube show (I was listening to Scott Adams and then it rolled into that show) with these two men...and the men said
"Anyone who disagrees or questions to NYC data is crazy. There's no argument about Covid-19 based upon the data!"
and I just shut it off.
I think this is what's messing Trump up. He doesn't want to argue with The Data.
But argue he must, or should've.
Also, his daily white house talk show was a great idea at the beginning...but he should have taken a break and "Watched and Read" to sniff out how the wind was blowing

The problem with these sort of ludicrous “predictions” is that anyone can make them without consequences. Hence anyone can and does.
How many articles/essays have you read where say, predictions made 10 years ago based on some occurrence, event, invention, discovery or social/political observations, were analyzed for accuracy?
My guess is, zero. Yes, every so often some popular science publication asks, “where are those flying cars?” but that’s about it. Social science, forget it. Ditto economics.
People who make investment decisions (for others, or other people’s money) are held to rigorous standards of accurate predictions about future behavior. That’s why few mutual funds last more than 10 years if based on specific selections rather than broad categories. Investors pay heavily for “better than average” outcomes and even the smartest advisors rarely get it right over the long run.
In every other field, other than possibly pharmaceutical development, are today’s predictions ever given rigorous post facto examination. Hence, predictions are cheap and plentiful. “Futurists” write books which seldom predict the future correctly. Essayists are even less likely to be right. From any bag of instant punditry you can find a few which hold up over say, five years. Those authors become TV talking heads for a while. The rest are just garbage in, garbage out.
But don’t let that discourage you. Like shamans and seers, it’s always a paying racket.
You are clearly a hate-filled disgusting person who is inferior to anyone even halfway decent, of any race. For you to act like you are superior to anyone, while you are sowing the seeds of future bad karma for yourself with your demonic behavior, is an absolute joke.
Wow, he looks even worse than Charlie Hebdo’s caricature of him.
It was a generic statement about WMAFs. Houellebecq, as a famous writer in France, is more or less the equivalent of a movie star in America, from what I understand. It’s like Pacino dating women young enough to be his grandkids.

Part of being a ‘great French public intellectual’ is to be the embodiment of a rather unattractive middle aged or elderly man. Another part is a semi permanent state of intoxication, another is a nicotine addiction. One must also boast a very obvious libido bordering on the lecherous.

“Oetzi the Iceman’ – dead for 5000 years is an Adonis in comparison.
I think that depends upon what one means by “worse” and for whom. I think Europe will return to normal within about two years, maybe less. The United States, on the other hand, will be thoroughly humiliated in front of the entire international community — embarrassingly incompetent government, disunited and paranoid population that tends toward violence when they don’t get their way, greedy ruling class, trash healthcare system … This is a superpower?
I’m expecting U.S. primacy to be eroded noticeably after this is over. Of course, it won’t totally vanish because America controls vital shipping and natural resource flows, but noticeably nonetheless. I can’t imagine any sane nation would want to hitch its wagon exclusively to this broken mess in the aftermath. Europe may eventually go multipolar, although Biden’s coming election will mend relations to some degree.
The situation also makes me wonder whether or not that vaunted American military is really all that it’s made out to be. After all, many of the structural deficiencies of the United States federal government are repeated with it — terrible civilian leadership, corrupt oversight, poor ability to mobilize private industry, heavily outsourced procurement to China, divided population ready to give up at the first sign of difficulty. The world might be more willing to challenge the U.S. in the future, which will increase the risk of violence.
And countless other stories.
The fact that China beat Covid-19 while the U.S. languished, eventually reaching some million + casualties, will be noticed. China rushed to protect the lives of its citizens, prioritizing their lives over the economy. That’s a huge PR victory. The United States is going to have a more difficult time in the future explaining to the world how China is as bad as they claim.
China has proved herself both powerful and competent. Nobody is going to want to be on the wrong side of such a nation. So, the world from an American perspective will certainly be much worse — reduced leadership, reduced prestige, higher potential for a rival to challenge it. China is the real winner in all this. That also includes Asia in general. Their cognitively superior populations, superior forms of governmental philosophy, and superior group-oriented cultures have destroyed the aura of American invincibility, which is clearly just an illusion based on occasionally picking fights with weak nations.
My predictions for the near future:
1) China will continue to keep their country relatively free of Wuhan-style outbreaks with competent and rigorous contact tracing. There will be occasional, limited lock downs. Wearing facemasks will also help to curb the spread. Most Asian nations will similarly succeed in warding off the virus.
2) Someone will invent an effective vaccine in the next 12 months. Asian countries which stamped out Covid-19 will use it, saving hundreds of thousands or millions of lives in the process.
3) OR, no vaccine … but it won’t matter because Covid-19 will burn itself out in the third world before it can reinfect Asia. China and other Asian nations will then be back to normal within two years. Contact tracing and social distancing will be a thing of the past, until the next pandemic that is.
4) I expect the world to start subtly distancing itself from the United States as a sole guarantor and — after a brief Sinorage period promoted by the U.S. media complex — integrate more closely with the East.
5) I also think there is a chance the U.S. further ruins itself in a fit of rage — maybe a renewed trade war with China or bankrupting Hollywood (see Ted Cruz’s unwise Hollywood – China censorship proposal). From the Americans, there will likely be a period of bitter recriminations, tariffs, and otherwise bad polices which will lead to Chinese innovation to overcome American intransigence.
6) An enormous number of Americans will die. Unless the world gets lucky with the emergence of an asymptomatic variant, the total number of casualties in the United States will surpass one million by the end of 2021.
7) The economic damage will be much more minor in the long run than economic doomsayers have asserted. Most jobs will return within a relatively short period of time because the underlying fundamentals are not the same now as during the Great Depression. But the psychological damage will be deep and long lasting for Americans. The divisions the crisis caused will not be easily repaired. Many will further lose faith in institutions.
8) The world will have looked on in horror at what happened in the United States. They saw crank protestors rushing state capitol buildings with AR-15s and conspiracy mongers promoting dangerous panaceas. They’ll see a government that wasn’t able or willing to handle the crisis. Large portions of the population similarly didn’t care. This will be a bad look for America. Some superpower. Leader of the free world this is not.
How is that an enormous number? More than a million third-world riff raff pour into the country every year. A million dead is a meaningless blip. Ten million wouldn’t matter much. A hundred million and things might get nice again.
People born too late to remember 1970 (aka Tide Pod eaters) need to stop wallowing in self-pity (or self-delusion) and start grabbing their bootstraps.

Happy Birthday to children’s author Beverly Cleary, just turned 104! I enjoyed reading her books as a child and last year read through every book of hers our local library had with my second youngest. No wizards and magical academies, no talking animals, no woke crap, just understated but heartfelt stories about real kids and real growing up.
Cleary is so old one of her early books had a character described as a confirmed ”woman-hater”. Remember them, those not uncommon folk figures from a bunch of first half of the 20th Century books, films, comic strips, etc. Did we all agree they were simply closeted homosexuals before retiring them?
In any case there is a certain kernel of opposite sex hatred in even the most heterosexual men, driven I think by resentment of all men’s dependence on women (after all, only a woman has the power to make a man out of a boy). Thankfully most men age out of this through upbringing, religion, a healthy and happy marriage, etc. but when all constraints are lifted… watch out! I’m thinking especially of the storied tales of certain rock stars (Led Zeppelin and the so-called shark incident, Sir Mick Jagger and the notorious Mars bar, etc.). Motley Crue, one of saltiest but certainly p@@n slayingest of hard rock bands, supposedly had an intra-band bet of which one of them could go the most consecutive days without bathing while still getting serviced multiple times per day by different groupies.
Houellebecq, to a lesser or greater degree, I think, is living out some version of this perverse fantasy, which I bet was also a large part of what was tickling Harvey Weinstein’s id- how absolutely disgusting can I make myself while still getting laid?

We’re going to see a major change, like that of the USSR.
* The US can’t support its current population under the existing system (e.g. public health in cities, White Death in countryside).
* COVID-19 is reducing US carrying capacity (e.g. partial failure of food chain).
* Proposed “changes” that amplify the existing system (e.g. introduction of a “command economy” to “increase the effectiveness of COVID-19 response” will further reduce US carrying capacity.
* US political strife has reached the point where both sides are arresting or about to arrest members of the other side (See: _Anatomy of a Revolution_)
This suggests that the US is entering into an interregnum that will terminate in a new system.
Similar changes are happening throughout the West.
China has apparently reached the end of both its export economy and its capital expenditure boom (as did Japan a few decades back) and will have even more troubles supporting its population, as the resources needed are the far ends of sea lanes currently protected by the US Navy, which will not be able to protect given an interregnum in CONUS. (Interesting acronym, CONUS. Sort of like the US Navy’s call sign for its Commander in Chief, Pacific during early WW II: CINCUS. What’s the polite reply to that? “Don’t mind if I do.”, perhaps?).
Instability ahead, guys, probably starting seriously within the next two months (by 2020-07-05) when the indictments over the Flin and Russia Gate come out, as they will — if Trump doesn’t do that, he’s toast, no instinct for the jugular and his opponents simply continue to attack, while his supporters will realize just how dangerous their position really is and start to run, perhaps to other leaders, perhaps just run in circles.

I agree with your description of the Democrat program should their candidate be elected. Unfortunately, that is not all that will happen.
Their basic problem is that their power base, the cities, cannot be supported from available revenue streams. The streams themselves are diminishing as the United States becomes less productive. In consequence, the cities are becoming increasingly uninhabitable. The Democrats must save the cities if they are to continue in power (not "in office", but "in power"). Their plan is apparently to institute a command economy that covers all resource streams available to the Federal Government and divert these resources to activities based in cities.
This plan cannot succeed:
a) Available resources have already been diverted to cities or used up; this is the basic cause of the "White Death" and the substitution of a capital expenditure boom for a foreign trade boom by the Chinese. In both cases, all Western intellectual capital has already been sold to the Chinese, most Western industry is not competitive with the Chinese, so increases in international trade are not possible.
b) Attempts to tap previously untapped resource streams will fail because the streams are essential for urban life or because diversion of the streams will cause outright rebellion (e.g diversion of the food supply chain output into cities, as the USSR did to the Ukraine). The net effect of such attempts will be to reduce the resource flow into cities.
c) The Democrats clearly cannot manage resources well. It is a consequence of their competitive internal organization -- whoever can assemble a dominant (minimum cost) constituency is rewarded. The ultimate result is cities like San Francisco or Philadelphia and, as seen in the Democratic Presidential debates, leadership clearly unable to govern. Attempts to impose a command economy will simply allow this poor management to further decrease resource flows to cities.
d) Attempts to bring foreigners into domestic American disputes, either as individuals or intervening governments, have reached the point of diminishing returns, and will simply exacerbate the present overt resistance.
The end result is, for the Democrats as for all existing contenders, an inability to govern or even rule under the current system and a consequent interregnum. Something similar happened in the USSR during the 1990s.Replies: @Thoughts

Biden on the surface is essentially a senile edition of Walter Mondale or George McGovern– a bland moderate who is obliged to and thus defined by those bubbling up below him– college radicals in McGovern’s case, the education-social work industrial complex in Mondale’s.
In Biden’s case, it’s “the Squad”. If the GOP is savvy enough to hammer down on this, Trump should win handily, if not with 500+ electors. But as we’ve seen with HST, JFK, RMN, and DJT, 300 is plenty.

This is Trump's totally flawed False Flag Jujitsu strategy same as employed during Syria white helmets fiasco.
So Fauci & Birx maintain some credibility all this time when they should've already been utterly destroyed.
The 6 points Trump picked up in Gallup poll are not people who will actually vote for him. When he sounds/acts like a democrat he drifts higher in Gallup.
Cannot believe he hasn't thrown Fauci Birx Mafia under the bus and now they are moving hard on their vaccine blackmail scheme.
USA has 7000-8000 deaths per day as normal mortality in a country of 330 million. The Mafia can farm a % of these deaths and MARK THEM DOWN COVID essentially forever.

Totally agree.
Americans signed up for 2 weeks max.
After that, Trump should have pivoted.
He could have hammered on the NYC death rates as an example of the Rich Liberal Democreeps Killing People (Nursing homes, cheap labor in hospitals, etc etc)
By doing so he could have destroyed Cuomo and De Blasio.
And then an executive order opening LA’s beaches would have destroyed Newsom.
Any death toll would not have been blamed upon him as it’s a virus, he did two-week lockdown to flatten the curve, can’t do much more to stop a virus.
Free masks for all, if possible (probably not possible but you get the idea)
Explanation for Trump’s Inaction:
There is a youtube show (I was listening to Scott Adams and then it rolled into that show) with these two men…and the men said
“Anyone who disagrees or questions to NYC data is crazy. There’s no argument about Covid-19 based upon the data!”
and I just shut it off.
I think this is what’s messing Trump up. He doesn’t want to argue with The Data.
But argue he must, or should’ve.
Also, his daily white house talk show was a great idea at the beginning…but he should have taken a break and “Watched and Read” to sniff out how the wind was blowing

I'm expecting U.S. primacy to be eroded noticeably after this is over. Of course, it won't totally vanish because America controls vital shipping and natural resource flows, but noticeably nonetheless. I can't imagine any sane nation would want to hitch its wagon exclusively to this broken mess in the aftermath. Europe may eventually go multipolar, although Biden's coming election will mend relations to some degree.
The situation also makes me wonder whether or not that vaunted American military is really all that it's made out to be. After all, many of the structural deficiencies of the United States federal government are repeated with it -- terrible civilian leadership, corrupt oversight, poor ability to mobilize private industry, heavily outsourced procurement to China, divided population ready to give up at the first sign of difficulty. The world might be more willing to challenge the U.S. in the future, which will increase the risk of violence.And countless other stories.
The fact that China beat Covid-19 while the U.S. languished, eventually reaching some million + casualties, will be noticed. China rushed to protect the lives of its citizens, prioritizing their lives over the economy. That's a huge PR victory. The United States is going to have a more difficult time in the future explaining to the world how China is as bad as they claim.China has proved herself both powerful and competent. Nobody is going to want to be on the wrong side of such a nation. So, the world from an American perspective will certainly be much worse -- reduced leadership, reduced prestige, higher potential for a rival to challenge it. China is the real winner in all this. That also includes Asia in general. Their cognitively superior populations, superior forms of governmental philosophy, and superior group-oriented cultures have destroyed the aura of American invincibility, which is clearly just an illusion based on occasionally picking fights with weak nations.
My predictions for the near future:
1) China will continue to keep their country relatively free of Wuhan-style outbreaks with competent and rigorous contact tracing. There will be occasional, limited lock downs. Wearing facemasks will also help to curb the spread. Most Asian nations will similarly succeed in warding off the virus.
2) Someone will invent an effective vaccine in the next 12 months. Asian countries which stamped out Covid-19 will use it, saving hundreds of thousands or millions of lives in the process.
3) OR, no vaccine ... but it won't matter because Covid-19 will burn itself out in the third world before it can reinfect Asia. China and other Asian nations will then be back to normal within two years. Contact tracing and social distancing will be a thing of the past, until the next pandemic that is.
4) I expect the world to start subtly distancing itself from the United States as a sole guarantor and -- after a brief Sinorage period promoted by the U.S. media complex -- integrate more closely with the East.
5) I also think there is a chance the U.S. further ruins itself in a fit of rage -- maybe a renewed trade war with China or bankrupting Hollywood (see Ted Cruz's unwise Hollywood - China censorship proposal). From the Americans, there will likely be a period of bitter recriminations, tariffs, and otherwise bad polices which will lead to Chinese innovation to overcome American intransigence.
6) An enormous number of Americans will die. Unless the world gets lucky with the emergence of an asymptomatic variant, the total number of casualties in the United States will surpass one million by the end of 2021.
7) The economic damage will be much more minor in the long run than economic doomsayers have asserted. Most jobs will return within a relatively short period of time because the underlying fundamentals are not the same now as during the Great Depression. But the psychological damage will be deep and long lasting for Americans. The divisions the crisis caused will not be easily repaired. Many will further lose faith in institutions.
8) The world will have looked on in horror at what happened in the United States. They saw crank protestors rushing state capitol buildings with AR-15s and conspiracy mongers promoting dangerous panaceas. They'll see a government that wasn't able or willing to handle the crisis.

It’s not just castings for nuclear submarines we can’t do anymore, it seems that America can’t manufacture the lowly Olympic weightlifting bar. A year ago, these could be had for $70-90 at Walmart. Used, one could be had for $30-50 on Craigslist. Not anymore. Most retailers are sold out of this simple product. Online vendors are asking for an absurd amount, $250+ . What’s going on? I guess with the disruption of the China trade these things are hard to locate, and I will bet anything that not a single one is manufactured in the USA. Same with power racks. A year ago Walmart was selling them for $225. Not anymore. Internet retailers are asking for $500-$1000. I’m certain that not a single one is manufactured in the USA. Advice: learn to make and mend things. Learn to weld, bend, grind metal. Learn carpentry. Just learn to make. Might put one in an enviable position when the $ dollar truly tanks.

This brings up a longer-term issue. People who've bought weights and other exercise equipment, or to some extent who've taken up running and other forms of outdoor exercise, might not be in any hurry to return to gyms once they reopen. That, of course, is not good news for the gym industry and I would expect to see quite a bit of consolidation. Just the other day the Gold's Gym chain filed for bankruptcy protection, though it only affects company-owned gyms and not franchised ones, and in any event the chain has been struggling for quite some time.
While on the subject of corporate woes, Lord & Taylor announced that it will be liquidating its stores once they reopen. Once again this is a company that had fallen on hard times well before the virus. A couple years back it sold its famous Manhattan flagship store to WeWork, and more recently a clothing rental outfit bought the whole company for a ludicrously low price.

Demand for barbells and other weight training equipment is far higher than normal as most gyms are still closed. Retailer stocks are very low.
This brings up a longer-term issue. People who’ve bought weights and other exercise equipment, or to some extent who’ve taken up running and other forms of outdoor exercise, might not be in any hurry to return to gyms once they reopen. That, of course, is not good news for the gym industry and I would expect to see quite a bit of consolidation. Just the other day the Gold’s Gym chain filed for bankruptcy protection, though it only affects company-owned gyms and not franchised ones, and in any event the chain has been struggling for quite some time.
While on the subject of corporate woes, Lord & Taylor announced that it will be liquidating its stores once they reopen. Once again this is a company that had fallen on hard times well before the virus. A couple years back it sold its famous Manhattan flagship store to WeWork, and more recently a clothing rental outfit bought the whole company for a ludicrously low price.

No. We’ve forgotten how to deal with death, and fear of death, that is all.
OT: Ruth Bader Ginsburg is in the hospital with an acute gallstone attack. Bad time to have to go to the hospital, especially in DC. If she gets Covid from one of her illegal immigrant pets, it would serve her right. But the gallstone is odd, because you don’t usually develop your first gallstone attack at age 87. They tend to show up in middle age or late middle age. What catches my attention is that the stone is stuck in her common bile duct. Near the end of this tube the pancreas joins in. Since she’s had pancreatic cancer twice, I wonder if this is something else. A gallstone stuck in the duct can give you pancreatitis, and this sort of infection is unwelcome in an organ that had cancer only about a year ago.
She’s very scrawny, so it’s likely she’s not getting enough fat in her diet. If your gallbladder never has anything to do, your bile can become sludgy and develop stones. You need to eat enough fat to make your gallbladder work from time to time to clear bile out. You also need to eat terpenes, which are the volatile oils in herbs, spices, and fruits and vegetables. They’re chemical solvents that help dissolve gallstones. Your average American male tends to get his terpenes from mustard and onions on sandwiches.

You may be interested to learn that the society we have today was sold to the American public inthe 1970s precisely as a society in which one would “not have to run to live” and in which competition (between individuals, business, and nations) would be effectively ended.
The effect of this attempt was to delegitimize all existing forms of allocating authority, replacing it with the totalitarian approach one gets in corporations and Montessori — there is an “informal” dictator whose word is law and whose actions are above observation, let alone criticism. That appears to be the sole effect of the above promises.
In the meantime, I can tell you that a savage criticism of America as a “savage land” isn’t going to be received well. It’s a repetition of the campaign described in the first paragraph of this posting. I, personally, would paraphrase it as “I can’t exist in American society, therefore _you_ are my slave. Give me stuff.” That being the way it worked out last time, you see.

There is a really interesting, rather bizarre documentary on You Tube about a group of British mercenaries who fight for the Croats during the war.

One is really looking forward to realizing his dream of killing. He talks about it like it’s a childhood fantasy.
I guess I mention it because apparently there weren’t enough Croats who wanted to participate.
If Houellebecq were, say, an Evelyn Waugh, a serious convert to the Catholic Church, his novels never would have taken off, nor been allowed to take off. The bitter agnostic who writes the truth that all the 19th century and early 20th century movements into total secularism and all the post WW2 Liberalisms are adding up to Hell on earth starting in a hollowed out soul of Everyman can be accepted as a crank or, obversely, a prophet thundering that we have no choice but to accept this worsening nightmare.

Well Said Cwny
I agree with your description of the Democrat program should their candidate be elected. Unfortunately, that is not all that will happen.
Their basic problem is that their power base, the cities, cannot be supported from available revenue streams. The streams themselves are diminishing as the United States becomes less productive. In consequence, the cities are becoming increasingly uninhabitable. The Democrats must save the cities if they are to continue in power (not "in office", but "in power"). Their plan is apparently to institute a command economy that covers all resource streams available to the Federal Government and divert these resources to activities based in cities.
This plan cannot succeed:
a) Available resources have already been diverted to cities or used up; this is the basic cause of the "White Death" and the substitution of a capital expenditure boom for a foreign trade boom by the Chinese. In both cases, all Western intellectual capital has already been sold to the Chinese, most Western industry is not competitive with the Chinese, so increases in international trade are not possible.
b) Attempts to tap previously untapped resource streams will fail because the streams are essential for urban life or because diversion of the streams will cause outright rebellion (e.g diversion of the food supply chain output into cities, as the USSR did to the Ukraine). The net effect of such attempts will be to reduce the resource flow into cities.
c) The Democrats clearly cannot manage resources well. It is a consequence of their competitive internal organization -- whoever can assemble a dominant (minimum cost) constituency is rewarded. The ultimate result is cities like San Francisco or Philadelphia and, as seen in the Democratic Presidential debates, leadership clearly unable to govern. Attempts to impose a command economy will simply allow this poor management to further decrease resource flows to cities.
d) Attempts to bring foreigners into domestic American disputes, either as individuals or intervening governments, have reached the point of diminishing returns, and will simply exacerbate the present overt resistance.
The end result is, for the Democrats as for all existing contenders, an inability to govern or even rule under the current system and a consequent interregnum. Something similar happened in the USSR during the 1990s.Replies: @Thoughts

Eventually china knows that the parasite Will turn its attention to Them so they go into a different part of the House to prepare for the attack
All while hoping that the guy the parasite is feasting upon and controlling Will grab a knife with his last breath and kill the thing on his back

What is far more likely is regional wars that do _not_ involve the US, wars sparked by who knows what and conducted because the US can't stop them anymore. Everybody and his chicken will want to define the new pecking order, and we'll be lucky if none of the "pecking order wars" turn nuclear.
However -- I'm in agreement with the rest of your posting. To take a literary reference (Lovecraft), Cthulu's followers were promised that Cthulu would eat them last -- a pretty good metaphor for a rational reaction to the West. I'd imagine that some of Cthulu's followers secretly thought, mad though they had been driven, that it would be nice if Cthulu simply died or went away or otherwise stopped bothering them.
Remember, the interregnum could bring a revitalization of the West. The West has been in worse shape than it is and recovered magnificently. Unfortunately for us, the interregnum prior to the recovery was usually a horror show for several decades.

Well, I actually think that war between the US and another nation is unlikely. Other nations don’t attack the US because of remaining US nuclear capabilities. Just too risky for too little reward. US doesn’t attack other nations because the US is overstretched now and will be reducing its overseas military involvement. You have to remember that the US is the _last_ country on Earth with a large and effective expeditionary capability. Everybody else has given up on sending military forces to back of the beyond to teach the natives how to act like dissolute Westerners. The US is due to quit also, and will have other ways to spend resources and even to fight domestically.
What is far more likely is regional wars that do _not_ involve the US, wars sparked by who knows what and conducted because the US can’t stop them anymore. Everybody and his chicken will want to define the new pecking order, and we’ll be lucky if none of the “pecking order wars” turn nuclear.
However — I’m in agreement with the rest of your posting. To take a literary reference (Lovecraft), Cthulu’s followers were promised that Cthulu would eat them last — a pretty good metaphor for a rational reaction to the West. I’d imagine that some of Cthulu’s followers secretly thought, mad though they had been driven, that it would be nice if Cthulu simply died or went away or otherwise stopped bothering them.
Remember, the interregnum could bring a revitalization of the West. The West has been in worse shape than it is and recovered magnificently. Unfortunately for us, the interregnum prior to the recovery was usually a horror show for several decades.
The home turf yellow chick is possesive, and will rather slit your throat than let you go, but she won't cheat on you and she won't pretend you abused her.
Unless you marry a prostitute, the rest will not have gone through a cock carouselle, will not be covered in tatts, and will not be a walking bucket of STDs
Uniting white stock and yellow stock produces Siberian Russians--the best Russians. White+Yellow trumps White+Turkic, when the white is Slavic, and should also work thusly with the Germanic tribes.
Yellow gits can Jew over Jews--which is why world Jewry is now trying to sabotage and dismantle China. White stock+yellow stock is much better at standing up to Jewish tricks than simple white stock.
And lastly--white women go through the following stages of attractivness:
1) The Lolita stage--fertility kicks in, but they're still ethereal elves and faeries
2) The post-Lolita stage kicks in--they start looking like clumsy dwarf copies of proper women
3) Around 20 they stop being ludicrous dwarf women and turn into real well-proportioned young women
4) At 30 they start the transition to looking like dudes in drag.
5) At 40 they look like dudes in drag.
By middle age you're basically banging Rod Steward in a wig, when you've married white.
Whereas the yellow chick of good stock only has the lolita stage all the way to 20, then the well-proportioned young woman stage until menopause, and only then does she start looking like a white woman in her 30s, but before actually turning into a dude in drag, it's already the "grandma stage".
So more power to Houellebecq. Although he should have done this outside of GloboHomo society, to ensure sane female behavior, but maybe France is still better than the Anglosphere and there will no "I mentally withdrew my consent for 10 minutes in between my love for him".Replies: @miss marple, @Dennis Dale, @Father O'Hara, @Reg Cæsar, @Thea, @S.

Way too much thought was put into this post. Who knew Steven Seagal was Siberian?
Western Mediterranean looking white women (and men) age pretty well. Look at Catherine Zeta Jones and Monica Belucci. No real aging until they were around 50. My coloring and ancestry is close to Jones’s- I’m 30 going on 31 now, but looking at photos my peak was around 27. I was goofy looking a decade before that. Same thing with my parents, looking at old photos. My only blondish grandparent looked best when he was around 20.
Please direct me to where you or your friend show me denying the germ theory of disease or to proof that this guy did not do what was claimed.
The worst “divorce rape” cases happens when men with high incomes marry women who may seem nice/pretty/agreeable, but are significantly lower on the socioeconomic spectrum. It causes resentment on the woman’s part and she cheats with someone more like her. She can’t support herself and usually has kids so the courts award a hefty alimony.
So the lesson is, if a man is in the upper income categories he should marry a woman who at least is capable of earning the national average income.
How does keeping one of if not the most restrictive of State lock downs in place longer - one that will no doubt clear out the Commonwealth's Treasury and require funding cuts to programs relied upon by his people - help his people?

His people have an average IQ of 85 and a talent for BS and a talent for temper. They are incompatible with industrial society; the 85 means only half of them can do anything valuable in an industrial society, and the tendency to BS and mad their way out of situations (which doesn’t work with machinery) means that were the IQ is high enough, the society is still rejected as not compatible with “Blackness”. Destroying industrial (“White”) society (as in the former Rhodesia) is therefore a good in itself to him and his people.
All you have to do to see the above for yourself is listen seriously to what the Blacks are saying.
You are thinking far ahead. Look for Dems to push for mail in ballots in all 50 states to defeat Trump by fraud. Mail in needed due to Covid
The counterweight working against Dems is that we are in spring and moving into summer where our animal spirits rebel against being cooped up in a fake pandemic. Fake where I live and all the panic emanates from the NYC media center. Laughably it seems that if they have that second home or money to rent one, NY libs are streaming out of their glorious, cultural-mecca city to ride out Virus-X on rural Long Island or upstate
Bill Burr went there a while back. He has since gotten married, we’ll see how that works out. Hey, Menken married too. Maybe those who are the least naive end up marrying best? Mencken’s wife died after a few years so it’s hard to know how things would have gone. Let’s see how things stack up for ole Bill…

The attempted coup will never be mentioned again. Richard Nixon will remain the go-to example of most corrupt president in American history instead of Barack Obama. The FBI will remain the respected model of integrity in law enforcement. FISA warrants will continue to be authorized for enemies of the Deep State. Swamp creatures Mark Warner and Richard Burr will bask happily in the muck.Replies: @Anonymous, @Anonymous, @Keypusher
There are no worries for any of those people anyway. Zero. None.

You are quite right. I don’t understand Trump supporters who think that now – now, finally – the DOJ will finally start issuing indictments against these nefarious plotters. I agree with them – Hillary Clinton should be in jail. Maybe Andrew McCabe, Lisa Paige, and creepy Peter Strock too. Maybe even slimy Jim Comey. But it ain’t going to happen. Ever. The Government is not going to indict it’s own, not in any significant numbers. It will protect it’s own, if only to protect it’s own power and privilege. (If the Tsar only knew!)
And most, if not all, of those models were created and run by institutions that receive sizeable amounts of funding from the Gates Foundation.

I wore a mask on plane flights in Asia during the SARS scare. I don’t know if it kept the germs away, but it had an unexpected benefit. It kept my sinuses from drying out in the thin, dry cabin air.

This fact, is one that the evil ones do not want the American people to realize.

I predict the calculations of the Democrats will backfire; and, once again, they are caught off-guard. Frustration will grow, but against the governors who keep their state in lock-down…and, because: reasons – reasons that are so obvious.
It helps to be a child immigrant, a mother; Uni-educated with Uni educated parents; with ties to the “old country,” who arrived in the 60’s and can analyze from a perspective few people can muster. As much as this lock-down is annoying, fissures can not be stopped.
Most of the people who write for The New Yorker are ugly…so, I guess they are “talking truth to power.” Is it me, or do other people just hate this term? – it infuriates me and makes me hate SJW’s even more! 😀 My late mother said, “people who use the term: speaking truth to power; are ignorant/illiterate people who never read The Classics…do not know history, science, art, speak few languages, do not know geography to save their life, don’t actually, read books, both novels and non-fiction, well, what else is left?” Sooo miss her.
