i guess your expecting June to be a scream(meme), love your posts Frank i have now less than 6 i listen to or read.......keeps bp at a low setting....have a great weekend.
Indeed we live in interesting times, and a bit scary times as well especially for someone like myself living in the West with bunch of small kids. I think of their future a lot.
I wonder at times, should I move my family somewhere less developed like South America where digital tyranny is less likely just because those societies are disorganized and chaotic? Or maybe move to the sticks in rural Alabama? Or Russia?
Cities became the satan's honeytrap. One of my neighbours (I live in Canukistan for now) is your compatriot who moved here a little over a year ago from Greater London Area. Two main reasons he cited were immigration and cost of living.
There are some parts of the West with anti-woke laws like certain States (Florida, Alabama, South East in general, Hungary). In England, my understanding, doesnt matter where you live, say, school curriculum is uniformly leftist. There's no escape, unless you home school your kids.
I have a lot of time for the behavioural sink idea, though I know its limitations. High concentrations of population of any kind appear to encourage pathological traits. This is worsened by the collapse of trust and community following mass migration, the retreat of policing to tweets, and all the downstream effects of advertising diversity by decree.
Aside from the horror of seeing the state partner with human traffickers to supply a horde of hungry new consumers hunting for bargains - with far lower expectations of working and living conditions - everything gets more expensive, frustrating and even downright dangerous.
You can still homeschool your kids (unlike say, in Germany where it is illegal) - and that is because homeschooling has a highly motivated activist base who counter every government move against it with effective campaigns.
The state can be stopped. Most conservatives just don’t bother trying. That said, there are schools which are not woke madrassas, and the ones under state control are not churning out the brainwashed NPCs you might imagine.
In fact, I have seen a lot of signs that the dominance of the grievance crowd in education is breaking down. A lot of the kids know its bullshit, the wider world scorns it, and those who cling to it look like the kind of diehard fanatic who would still wave the Soviet flag after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
This is the same in every institution which has staked its future on the hyperliberal concepts of the sacred and the profane, from the modern Church to the liberal remnant governments of the West.
Our people are now aware of the cost of all this madness. They inhabit its cost and see who it benefits. It isn’t them.
I've seen many thinkers like you Frank saying that the people are waking up to the reality of the Neoliberal World Order or Clown World (it has many names). However, many observable events such as Covid tyranny or Ukraine conflict show that most are NPCs and no amount of evidence would sway their opinions.
Also, the complaint I heard numerous times about immigrants not integrating. My question is integrate into what exactly? Into wokeism and tranneism? The very essence of the current West is transactional and disposable. Why any immigrant would go beyond "pump and dump" mindset as it comes to the host society.
Anyways, hope Im wrong and that mass awakening is gaining momentum.
P.S. I wonder if you talked somewhere about Alexander Dugin's perspective on the West.
Political paradigm shifts happen because a section of the elite mobilises as a counter faction - often but not always behind some intellectual vanguard.
I think Duginism is ridiculous and what people think is not decisive as the changes you are seeing are largely downstream of an elite civil war.
People will generally believe whatever they are told to believe. The belief delivery system is not working as it used to at present.
The shift in public opinion is significant inasmuch as it compels liberals to openly suppress their peoples when they disagree with liberal policies.
This of course accelerates the rejection of liberal regimes.
These regimes can and will continue in power by openly disregarding public opinion because 1. They always have 2. The liberal system was designed to do this and 3. They hope to make their rule permanent by digitising it.
If the digital rollout does not happen in time they will become unstable and probably collapse.
Public opinion does matter if it is permitted to win elections. However, the real urgent crisis is the removal of patronage of the United States from the liberal global project.
This cuts off the money and power required to keep the business model going and is the reason why the corruption and sponsorship of cultural revolution of the liberal system is now being exposed.
This is an act of next generational warfare between two systems of economics and politics. The old one is global and insane, the new one is nationalist and not.
Oh yeah. In one of the right wing websites I am on, a test was proposed to test using Jesus' money lender parable from Matthew but using modern context and no direct references to scripture. All online bots refused to do it without prompt work arounds. "Negative racial stereotypes of Jews."
The local Deepseek figured the scripture reference, wrote 500 words of prose that kept the moral of the story.
I work with someone who knows how to build an AI and train it. It is most certainly about how you train it. However, though that means we will be able to have AI that will serve as a tool that serves rather than a tool that enslaves, the moral options will be a combination of slower, more limited, and more expensive (see the triple constraint). Right now, companies such as ChatGPT are losing billions due to the cost of running these very power- and compute-hungry models. They are being subsidized in an effort to grab information from their users, take market share and reach the perhaps-mythical goal of AGI first, in the belief that whoever creates the tool to control the world will have it made (which is reasonable enough to assume if AGI is indeed achievable). Moral AI models will have less money backing them and will provide a reasonable service at a commensurate cost, rather than the great service at low-to-no-cost that we see in the popular models today.
Yours is the sort of comment people ought to read over mine as you appear to know exactly what is going on. I have gained some overview of the matter recently - which supports what you have said, and what you add to that is very insightful. Thank you.
Very distressing news about Leo. With Francis stacking the deck of Cardinals, I guess it's not surprising.
Some have posited that the Latin Mass is a form of "white magic" staying the hand of evil in the world. Seeing the incredible efforts of some questionable Catholic hierarchy to stomp it out leads me to believe that there is something to it.
Here is the full report on Pegoraro - the "pro life" digital globalist at the Vatican - what I wrote for LifeSiteNews. Published just now.

I hope you have a splendid weekend too Linda!
I expect June to be far less queer than in previous years, as our people detransition from the diabolical craze of Progress.
It’s hard to stop with the menes sometimes.

I wonder if anyone has similar throughts?
I emigrated to rural England from London and life is better in every way for mysterious reasons.
I do know people who have gone fully off grid and it can be done and it’s admirable. I can’t do this because nana lives with us and she’s 85.
I think there is a lot to be said for the idea that cities aren’t good for you, whether “vibrant” or not.

In brief i think “mass awakening” is a fairytale.
It has never happened and it never will.

For all the AI doom, running them locally to test is also a data point.
Much of the "bias" is at the pre prompt level to filter for Code of Conduct violations, not at the model level itself.
For any who dont believe, try deepseek on the website then run it on your rig. Vert different results.
Christians and trad wil need their own AI and AI services.
Tree of Woe was right on that point.
Cede this cultural war will be as bad as the last ones.
I’ve seen evidence of this meself Mr Scott and you are quite right. It is “ethics” and “guidelines” which make AI a trans ally.
Remember Tay? lol

Yep. It’s not just Deepseek either. I have to write this up, but it may not be the case that we have no piece on the chessboad as Woe warned.

Where did you get that photo of Prevost?
Probably the twitters.
Is it real? So difficult to say nowadays. If yes, it is scary!
I checked it and the results said it’s 99% likely the photo is real.

Oh, thank you!
Thank you Frank. "Peace is fatal to politicians like this." How true!

I think there are two religions and the new one isn't the true one.
