Nick Fuentes is not a troll. He is far worse than that.
Reflections XXXII - Saturday Sumizing
The most common mistake in science is to confuse a scientific model with the real itself. This is the main pitfall of digitized thinking.
Alternative histories are fun to play around with but can only be taken so far as no progressions are linear, unforeseen events are ever present and pathways of alternatives are constantly emerging.
Europe is struggling right now to age with dignity. Its moral soul is being picked apart by both internal and external forces.
An assured way to kill a society is to dominate the politics with an overriding sense of guilt. It is such a poison that is killing the west.
Most people don’t know the facts what they subscribe to is cultivated version of the facts.
One rarely gains anything from a formal debate. This is understandable as it prejudices rhetorical victory over meaningful understanding of truth.
Nations decline when they fail to appreciate the many downsides of Empire. Limitations exit for a reason.
Materialism is ultimately grounded in the very concept of lack of meaning which explains why its unfulfilling Physicality which defines much of science is bounded.
On Ukraine v Russia
I am not pro-Ukraine or pro-Russia. I am pro-West. Jews have been at the receiving end of Ukrainian nationalism which was particularly virulent during WWII. The horrors of Babi Yar (and Banderism) sickens me. However the Ukraine is a sovereign nation and I cannot pretend to ignore that. What Russia did in invading the country was wrong.
Did the west make a mistake in expanding NATO? Yes and no. I think the desire was to avoid the same mistake that allowed an Iron curtain to descend over Eastern Europe following World War II. However I can see why the Russians don't like this. Yes the Zelensky regime is corrupt but so is the Russian. I am not a fan of Zelensky personally but Putin is more of a global threat. Russia and before that the Soviet Union has been undermining the US for many decades now.
Duganism is now the latest incarnation of the threat. Conservatives falling for Putin as he puts on an 'anti-Woke' face ought to be careful. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. People should stop being so easily duped by words.

GOP is tearing itself apart.
If the GOP doesn't get its house in order for 2028 it will lose the Independent voter and with that the Presidency, Senate and House. Vance looks to be the likely candidate but on the national level every election comes down to a tightrope walk in key swing states. The only positive is that the Dems aren't doing themselves a favour by their march leftward. US Firsters are biggest gift to the Dem Party.

Nick Fuentes Praises Stalin...
My take...
Fuentes is full of it. Putting aside the death tolls resulting from the collectivization/forced famines and purges, Stain's handling of World War Two was abyssmal. He dismissed early reports of the upcoming Operation Barbarossa (June 22 1941) leaving the Soviet Union under prepared for the six months of German victories that only came to a halt in January 1942 at Moscow. The Red Army suffered defeats at Smolensk, Minsk, Kiev, Vitobesk with Leningrad placed under a terrible siege that lasted three years. It was only after he gave more authority to generals such as Zhokov, Rokossovsky and Vasilevsky coupled with German folly (much of it courtesy of Hitler himself) did the tide begin turning. Stalin also relied heavily on US Lend Lease Aid. The Five Year plans are considered to have mixed results. In the absence of a counterfactual it is easy to extol Stalin especially when much of the information about the plans has been filtered through Soviet Propaganda.

Reflections - XXXI - Morning Insights
Religion ought never to be the mechanism of state control. Its domain is one of strict spirituality and moral guidance. Christendom had to be forced through the enlightenment to see this. Islam may never as statecraft is intrinsic to the religion.
Without a sense of peoplehood a nation cannot survive. Internationalist movement viz. Globalism, Communism and Islamism therefore target such a sense for destruction.
For those obsessed with power above everything else, no lie is too much.
All ideology is god centric. They differ in how they define god. With ecoism it is the Earth, with Communism a classless utopia, Islamists make it the afterlife. Even Libertarians have raised freedom to the level of a deity. Meaning abhors a vacuum which is why atheists will gravitate to another belief. The New Atheists marinated in scientism.
The problem with the Left wing Jew is that they have made a god of social justice, replacing the dual and delicate balancing act of kind and tough by spiritually elevating the former. Such a shifting of the frame of reference means that they cannot see past their own sense of self righteousness.
The sad truth of life is that logic and reason rarely dissuades somebody who has an emotional commitment to their current paradigm.
The universe may be digital at its core which may account for the lack of nuanced thinking.. We have an innate sense to digitize information and with that its interpretation into digestible blocks that we can process.

On Tariiffs, Free Trade and Ronald Reagan
Four things can be true at the same time 1. Free trade has optimal utility in the long term. 2. Tariffs have a working purpose in the short run to punish those who don't play by the rules necessary for free trade. However it is not a long term solution. Tariffs lead to counter tariffs and trade wars. 3. Ronald Reagan was not a fan of tariffs..hell he set up the FTA which evolved into NAFTA under George H W Bush. 4. NAFTA needed to be renegotiated to fit in with the changing economic environment. This did occur under Trump's First term.
