They literally want a concentration camp.

Leave a reply

Now’s a great time to see how the left is doing:

That far along, huh? I thought we had more time.

From San Antonio Current:

“She’ll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking,” Galindo wrote in an Instagram post over the weekend, referring to herself in the third person. “It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists.”

When someone says that that’s her intended policy, go ahead and believe her, because most people who fantasize about such things would usually keep it to themselves.

It’s already a massive red flag that a politician declares her policy positions via Instagram. And the fact that she refers to herself in the third person is characteristic of a random lunatic who raves at random pedestrians in a city square.

But all that is eclipsed by the fact that she wants to repurpose a government building into a concentration camp for imprisoning enforcers of immigration law, and those who believe Jews should have their own little country, while falsely accusing them of pedophilia as a pretext for having them neutered.

That sounds like the kind of thing that a shrill, college-aged leftist would pretend that Trump said, because they want to make him look as bad as possible, and has no motherfucking idea how to pull their punches to make a lie sound remotely believable.

But Maureen Galindo, a Democrat running for Congress, said it as her own policy position.

Over the past week, Galindo has accused her runoff opponent — former Bexar County Public Information Officer Johnny Garcia — of participating in a human trafficking conspiracy orchestrated by billionaire zionist Jews.

She crazy. That’s end-stage TikTok brain rot. That’s the kind of shit where, once you believe it, the belief itself configures prions into your brain, and it’s just a matter of time until you lose all motor function, and die due to inability to sleep.

Even so, in comments to the Current and other media outlets, Galindo maintained she only has an issue with zionists, or those advocating for the existence of a Jewish state in their ancestral homeland, rather than Jews in general.

There it is. The classic leftist equivocation. This time, she’s trying to avoid being branded as “antisemitic”, because that’s a word which sounds bad, and is only for use against bad people. So she explains that she opposes something that Jews generally happen to desire. Then, when she does go after the Jews she hates, she can make the claim of not actually hating them.

If anyone falls for that, the world must be a confusing place for them.

Indeed, mainstream Democrats have drifted away from Galindo as she ramped up her rhetoric.

Please do. Because damn.

To give you an idea of just how far Maureen Galindo has gone, consider the fact that AOC thinks she has taken it too far:

Think about what it means when, next to Maureen Galindo, AOC sounds like the voice of reason.

If you don’t picture Maureen Galindo’s thinking taking root in American politics, consider the following:

Twenty-seven percent. That’s the percentage of Democrats who, when presented with an opportunity to vote for Maureen Galindo, decided to do so.

I’ve pointed out before that as leftists continue to lose the culture war, some of them will feel threatened, particularly the dead-enders who invested too much into their political ideology, and that they may interpret the changing flow of the era as a threat to respond to with violence.

The fact that the left is becoming increasingly extreme in their violence and their rhetoric goes to show that they’re not handling losing well.

Now, there’s a leftist running for office who is openly calling for a concentration camp with compulsory sterilization. And while it’s true that she’s being condemned, even within her own party, what’s concerning is that her rhetoric is not instantly disqualifying, and that she could come away with as much as 27% of her party’s vote where she was on the ballot, which is way too much.

Buy home security.

Romeo and Juliet was a boring, crappy book.

Leave a reply

The following post on X was brought to my attention by NotTheBee, a humor page which was originally founded to commentate on news stories that sound made up, but were actually true. Today, it’s more of a right-wing social commentary site focusing on current events and random social media posts. Intermittently, it makes boomer posts bemoaning the passing of days gone by, including ignorant Matt Walsh like takes on anime.

One of their recent posts brought up a social media post which included a rant from a high school English teacher, who listed off things her students said about the book adaptation of Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet.

Which, by the way, is not the masterpiece that it’s been made out to be, and certainly doesn’t deserve to be elevated to the status of sacred cow, as it has been.

But we’ll let the students speak for themselves:

Remember that the boomer generation thought that Bernie Mac was funny, whose entire routine was making fun of the things his kids said and did. Even though they were his own children, thus their knowledge base was his responsibility.

How anyone expects a child to know something they haven’t been taught isn’t something boomers have explained, but that’s an expectation that too many of them seem to have.

Let’s break this down:

‘Was there time back then? Like did it exist when Romeo and Juliet were alive?’

This sounds legitimately stupid, so it’s natural that it would be selected to frame a rant about how stupid students are. If I were to give the benefit of the doubt, I’d guess that when the student said “time”, they meant “clocks”. Which would be a legitimate question to ask, if poorly-worded.

There would also be the assumption that Romeo and Juliet were historical figures, rather than works of fiction. This is also kinda understandable, in a way. Outside of manga, when I read books, it’s usually to be informed, not entertained. Most books, Romeo and Juliet included, are boring.

Though, having worked retail for a decade, I know that stupid people actually exist. If that student were legitimately stupid, they’d be just years away from harassing a poor store employee over something petty, all while their food bill is being paid for by the rest of us.

‘Oh, so you actually hate us.’ (I had asked them to get the books out).

Again, Romeo and Juliet is not a masterpiece. It definitely does not deserve to be placed above criticism. Thus, the student is valid in their feeling that they are being punished by being made to read that book.

Romeo and Juliet was adapted into a novel for the intention of entertainment. This was a self-defeating endeavor. Most novelizations are.

‘Is Shakespeare a real person because I thought he was maybe one of those Greek gods so I’ve been confused.’

A child cannot be expected to know something that they haven’t been told.

‘Bro’s a hella stalker.’

A cheap shot at Romeo. But the implied frustration at having to read his story is understandable.

‘Bro also has bad rizz’

I don’t have a woman’s sensibilities. But if a student believes that he lacks appeal, that’s an opinion that’s valid.

Also, I know that Zoomer slang ignites the disgust of the cheap seats. If this is you, remember that you used to call things “sick”, “tight”, “fly”, “bangin'”, or “dope”. Get over yourself.

‘Oh, he wants that hottie huz, huh?’ (this is about Romeo pursuing Juliet)

Believe it or not, people want to have sex. That’s why they get into the kind of relationship that Romeo pursued. His desire was natural and human, and to point it out is to make a simple observation.

The teacher probably cares about the slang. For the most part, I don’t.

‘Romeo is hella cringe, get him off my screen.’

Agreed.

‘We don’t need subtitles, we’re not old.’

What’s wrong with this statement? We’re talking about high school students. If none of them are hearing impaired, then subtitles for what they are hearing is entirely unnecessary.

Needless subtitles create the habit of a person’s eyes drifting downwards in conversation, which can be awkward. But if someone is caught doing that, then they have high school English to blame.

It seems as though making Romeo and Juliet required reading in school has led to an epidemic of student complaining. The solution to this problem seems obvious. To me, at least.

And that would be to stop making Romeo and Juliet required reading.

What an absolute disgrace.

A murder aboard a train in North Carolina has caught the attention of many on social media, who in turn noted the lack of coverage in corporate mainstream media outlets. What’s especially catching the attention of people around the world is how senseless, callous, and preventable the murder was.

The murder was caught on camera, and was afterward shared online.

The suspect of the crime, Decarlos Brown Jr., had previously been arrested 14 times. That wasn’t a typo, prior to the murder, he was arrested 14 times. Apparently, each time Decarlos proved he was a dangerous miscreant, with charges such as felony larceny, assault, and robbery with a dangerous weapon, it was decided that he would be released back into the public, where he would have an opportunity to offend again, a total of 14 times.

And if he were released a 15th time, it wouldn’t surprise me.

The video of the incident is below. Though the completion of the murder is omitted, the following footage is disturbing.

Iryna Zarutska had previously fled the country of Ukraine, which was at war with the country of Russia. One might think she would have been safe in the city of Charlotte, in the American state of North Carolina. However, this would prove to not be the case.

Prior to Iryna’s boarding of the train, Decarlos is seen appearing visibly distraught. When Iryna boarded, she took a seat in front of Decarlos. Decarlos took note of this, and after a pause, produced a pocket knife, which he then unfolded with careful deliberation. After another moment, he stood up and carried out his savage attack on Iryna, who did not see it coming.

There was absolutely no indication that Iryna had done anything to provoke the attack. It seemed completely senseless.

After completing the attack, Decarlos then calmly proceeded down the cabin, still holding the knife in his hand. As he did so, blood dripped from the knife, leaving drops on the floor.

As he did so, some of the other passengers appeared to take note that something was amiss. The victim, having just been slain, had caught their attention, and they took note of the blood on the floor.

On the other end of the cabin, Decarlos calmly removed his hoodie, and wrapped it around his hand which was still carrying the knife, perhaps an attempt to conceal his part in the crime he had just committed. He departed the train at a stop.

The passengers in the video have faced some criticism for appearing to be either calm or indecisive in the video above. In my opinion, they cannot be faulted for their response. For one thing, there is a phenomenon called normalcy bias, where people in unusual situations maintain a tendency to continue to behave as though the situation were mundane, even if briefly, because for a moment they find it difficult to accept that there may be an unusual situation. Another reason may be indecision, or even panicking. Even if a person drills what they would do in an emergency, when an emergency occurs, it might occur in a manner different than how one might imagine, and thus, they might panic, or become indecisive.

In reality, it’s not realistic to expect ordinary people to behave like protagonists in action movies.

People all over the world have attempted to make sense of the murder. It seems a prevalent theory is that Decarlos had a mental illness, and that his violent act can be likened to “the bad voices winning.” Others point to his extensive criminal record, and say that his violent outburst was the inevitable outcome of allowing a person with a history of violence to roam free. Of course, both theories can be true.

Whatever the reason for it, it’s clear that Decarlos Brown Jr. is guilty of the crime we have video evidence of. But he is not the only one with guilt.

There are professions in which negligence should be considered criminal. To be fair, in most cases, it’s not a big deal. For example, if you order your meal at Wendy’s as dine-in, then get your meal in a bag, it’s not a big deal. However, if a doctor preps a patient for heart surgery, then the patient wakes up without an arm because they were mixed up with another patient, the negligence involved should be considered criminal.

So it is with those in criminal justice who continually release violent offenders who repeatedly commit recidivist offenses. They have failed the public, whose safety was in their hands. They must be held accountable.

I’ve noticed that many people have suggested creative punishments for Decarlos Brown Jr. As I see it, upon finding him guilty (which should be inevitable considering the preponderance of evidence against him), he should be put to death. His execution should be public, and carried out without delay.

I liked them better when they were fiction.

If you hate bugs, get ready to hate them even more.

Pictured above is what’s called an amaranthine deceptor. It’s a fictional insect from Made In Abyss. Its deal is that it inhabits the 6th layer of an environment called The Abyss. They imitate leaves, which makes them difficult to detect without careful attention. They won’t travel too far away from their nest, and spend much of their time just sitting on plants, resembling leaves.

The problem comes in when they receive a signal to attack. When this happens, they immediately swarm the area, attacking any critter that they can, trying to force themselves into any opening, such as their mouths. Once embedded, they live inside their host as parasites, slowly feeding on flesh, and trying to delay the death of the host so they can continue feasting on a living meal. Eventually, the host dies.

Though the bugs live in the 6th layer, they posed a problem when a number of them made a nest in the 4th layer. The party of protagonists had a brief encounter with them at the beginning of the film, Dawn of the Deep Soul, and haven’t been in a hurry to encounter more of them, since. Their danger classification is five stars (absurd).

“Okay,” you might be saying, “but those bugs are made up. If something like that actually existed, wouldn’t more people know about them?” If that’s what you’re wondering, then get ready to have your day ruined.

Pictured here is what’s called a cochliomiya hominivorax, also simply known as a screwworm. What’s its deal? When a pregnant female screwworm sees an open wound on a warm-blooded mammal, it goes for it, laying its eggs in the wound. It can lay hundreds of eggs at a time.

Oh, in case you’re wondering: Yes, humans are warm-blooded mammals.

When the eggs hatch, the larvae begin feasting on the surrounding flesh, burrowing deeper as it does, which is where it gets the name “screwworm”. Currently, the only option for treating a screwworm infection is surgery, which involves removing the little abominations, often one at a time.

At this point, the next question I imagine you have is, “Where do these monstrosities live, so I’ll know to stay away from them?”

At one point, they were common in the American southwest. But then, they migrated to the southeast as infected livestock were shipped. In the 1960s, Americans decided that they were tired of their buggy bullshit, so they released a bunch of lab-raised sterile male screwworms into the wild, causing females to bear unviable eggs. As a result, the screwworms were driven down to Central America, where they were no longer our problem.

Personally, I would have consented to their complete eradication, but it was still a job well done. There was a small outbreak in 2016 among endangered deer in Florida, but the outbreak was eliminated in 2017.

But now we’re talking about them, again. Why is that? Because there is a confirmed human case in the state of Maryland, and the victim is a traveler from El Salvador.

Screwworm populations have been monitored, and have become an increasing concern as they’ve been migrating steadily North, and have migrated as far as Mexico since an outbreak originating in Panama in 2023, which happens to be when unchecked mass migration was in full swing during the Biden administration.

But a human case as far North as the state of Maryland comes as a shock. Sure, we can release more lab-raised sterile male screwworms to fight back. But I don’t want those things coming back here, at all.

Because we’ve established that screwworms can make it to the US via infected travelers, aren’t they another compelling reason why unchecked mass migration is a horrendously bad idea?

Angry Lunatic Muslim Woman Freaks Out

Leave a reply

You might remember the old YouTube classic about the angry German kid who flips out while waiting for a computer game to load. We finally got a sequel, and it made its way to us before GTA VI did.

The following video shows us body cam footage of a woman who was just pulled over. She immediately starts ranting, proclaiming herself the victim because another driver wanted to kill her. And with her X-Men supercognition, she knew that the other driver had to be motivated by Islamophobia.

By the way, people can stop calling every criticism a “phobia”. That’s been going on for about two decades now, and it hasn’t gotten anywhere. Whether you think someone is motivated by fear doesn’t make you any less wrong. Move on.

The woman took out her iPhone and proceeded to record her conversation with the officer, being so full of herself that she thought the internet would side with her, which is ironic considering how things would end up playing out.

What’s really fascinating is that the moment the woman learns that she is going to be arrested, things turn religious. But not in a good way. She’s not bringing a message of love, or of patience. Nor is she bringing a message of salvation for all people.

No, she was being religious in a bad way. Her message is one of vengeance and vindictiveness. As she saw it, the arresting officers who were just doing their jobs were deliberately siding with a fallen angel, and will eventually pay a price.

Oftentimes, when someone is delusional, they’ll insist that they’re something special, like one of “the two witnesses”, or that they’ve discovered some great secret, or otherwise have some grandiose fantasy. As they see it, it’s because of this that some entity is out to get them, usually a powerful entity, such as the government, or demons, or a government that serves demons.

If demons were actually involved, it seems more reasonable to expect that they’d be messing with a person by feeding into a grandiose delusion, and convince them that the government is out to get them.

One thing that the woman reiterates is how special she is. That the officers aren’t supposed to “do this” to an Arab. How a male officer isn’t supposed to cuff her, or search her, or even touch her (the officers would bring a female officer to assist). It’s all an obvious and desperate attempt at evasion, knowing what’s coming and making it as difficult as possible, and proclaiming that there will be consequences if she doesn’t get her way.

One thing that’s particularly amusing about this is the implication that because she’s an Arab woman, she’s indemnified of all crimes. I wonder how long she might have believed this. If your belief is that you can’t be arrested, that’s a belief that’s going to go splat the moment it collides with reality.

And speaking of reality, it left the chat. As the woman is being driven to the station, she proclaims herself to be Muhammad. The Muhammad. And the officer lost his chance to bow down to her when he refused to take her orders.

You know about that seventh-century chomo warlord who claimed to be a prophet? That was Muhammad: A New Hope. That was old news. Now we’re talking about Muhammad: The Empire Strikes Back. This is the one without those stoopid ewoks.

I feel bad for anyone who dated her. That had to have been a nightmare. Of course, it’s possible that her genes benefited heavily from arranged marriages for generations.

Let’s be a little more serious for a moment. Based on what little I’ve seen of this incident, I suspect that drugs were involved. I suspect that the woman wasn’t always like the way she behaved in the bodycam footage, but some substance abuse, or possibly a side effect of medication, caused the woman to become disinhibited. When a person becomes disinhibited, their personality and beliefs usually don’t change. Instead, the person will become more candid with their beliefs, including those which they may have been too reserved to share. The woman’s erratic driving supports the hypothesis that controlled substances were involved.

If this is the case, then it follows that she had to have gotten the idea that she was special from somewhere. I suspect that such an idea may have been culturally impressed upon her, likely from her family, and likely from a young age. Under most circumstances, she would have known that sharing such ideas, some of which are racist, is usually not a great idea. However, if drugs were involved, she would have lost her inhibitions, and her ideas may have had grandiose elements added to them.

I would imagine that, if the woman were later sober, she would not have been happy to hear her own words played back to her. Especially if they were played back in a court of law.

If the woman were sincere in the delusions that she expressed, one could ask how she was able to function in society up until the point of her arrest. That’s not to say that it can’t happen. Back in my days of working retail, I’ve seen people of various degrees of interesting, but as far as I know, none of those people started trending on social media.

While it’s fun to imagine the crazy woman who goes from day to day thinking herself the modern day Muhammad, what we saw was probably just her worst moment. I say that as someone who didn’t much look into her case.

Whatever her background may have been, it likely fed significantly into what came to the surface, and when it did, it was quite a scene. Perhaps we’ll see more out of her, soon.

Leftists are planning a one-day “economic blackout” for tomorrow. LOL.

Hey look, another stupid one-day boycott:

Pictured above is the gameplan for a left-wing one-day boycott of major businesses and services, in the hopes of sending a message. That message being, “we show them who really holds the power”.

The boycott is being pitched as non-partisan, but considering it’s traction among the left, it’s plainly a reaction on their part because they’re upset that they’re losing their grip on culture. The claim of being non-partisan is clearly intended as an attempt to expand leftists’ influence when they know that they are not culturally dominant.

They are not the “silent majority”, and the 2024 Presidential election provided the numbers to prove it.

Here’s a list of their extended gameplan, which makes mention of companies that have ditched DEI, such as Wal-Mart and Amazon:

You might be wondering, “Raizen, what are you doing sharing their gameplan? Doesn’t that help them?” I’ll explain why passing this info along doesn’t help them in the following list of reasons the boycott is almost certain to fail:

  • Boycotters prep for one-day boycotts by making their purchases in advance, or making up for them in the days after, so the companys’ bottom lines are often unaffected. This is especially the case with products such as gasoline.
  • Investors who learn of the boycott in advance can reallocate their investments, and thus profit off the boycott.
  • Imagine consoomers not consooming for a day.
  • Some people may decide to spend an inordinate amount on the day of the boycott, out of spite.
  • People tend to have less money when they don’t understand how the world works. For that reason, if leftist foot soldiers decide not to spend for a day, it’s probably not going to be very impactful.

And a bunch of leftists presume to tell the rest of us about economics.

So no, it’s not necessary for you to make a big ol’ shopping list and go wild on Friday. The left-wing one-day boycott is largely self-defeating.

And with how much better off companies that ditch DEI are likely to be in the long-term, they probably won’t much care.

When a Pokémon Bears a Stronger Resemblance Than Intended

Leave a reply

A few years ago, I pointed out that a Pokémon resembling Donald Trump has been added to the Pokémon franchise through the Sun and Moon versions.

According to GameFreak, the makers of the Pokémon games, the Pokémon, named Yungoos, was not intended to bear a resemblance to Donald Trump.

Donald Trump, as you’re likely well aware, was nearly assassinated just days ago, the gunman only having succeeded in removing a chunk of Trump’s right ear.

Yungoos has an evolved form, named Gumshoos, which bears a stronger resemblance to Trump. Notice something about its ear?

Yeah, it’s got a notch in its ear.

To be fair, both its ears are like this, and some small mammals do have bifurcated ears. So, I feel inclined to say that this is just a coincidence. After all, why would GameFreak be able to see the future?

But I expect some people to point to this as evidence of the simulation glitching out.

Star Wars cannot be salvaged.

Normally, when I want to write a review, I try to avoid other people’s opinions of what’s being reviewed beforehand, because I want my review to be my genuine opinion. For anyone who has set out to write a review of Star Wars’ The Acolyte, this has become just about impossible, because the “creative” decisions made by Disney has proven to be a greater threat to the franchise than any Sith could manage to be, and as a result, social media is dragging it across nails.

Don’t get the wrong idea; I had no intention of reviewing The Acolyte, because I had no intention of watching it. While I was aware of it, it largely escaped my notice as it came around, because I don’t even bother with Star Wars, anymore.

I used to be a fan of Star Wars. I was introduced to it as a kid. At that point, Star Wars was a story that George Lucas wrote with the intention of making religion more interesting for children, which he evidently did with a reimagining of the story of David and Goliath. Except he showed a kid who wanted to be a pilot being radicalized into joining a terrorist organization by a religious zealot, then the kid went on to destroy a military base, killing millions.

But since Disney took over, their creative decisions have proven more disastrous than when George Lucas noticed that people were actually paying attention, and he decided to stop plagiarizing Dune. I gave the franchise a chance to change for the better, but I’ve since decided that I don’t really need it, and I’ve discovered that anime is better at avoiding identity politics and narcissistic power fantasies.

Based on what I’ve been hearing, I thought that the dumbest thing about The Acolyte would be the scene which showed a fire burning in space, without oxygen. Considering that Star Wars was the series that originally gave parsecs as a measure of time, not distance, it would have been a whatever moment.

But then, it turns out that it featured a sect of lesbian space witches who willed themselves pregnant, probably because their fertile years ran out as they furthered their educations and careers. So they became intersectional feminists because it’s easier to blame men than to confront their decisions to run out their biological clocks on pursuits that women don’t ultimately find meaning in, anyway. Then, after having tried everything but dating, they turned to magic. One can also point out that scissoring doesn’t work, there’s that.

Disney has written vomit. Star Wars was once a hero’s journey style of story, which nearly always involves a lesson that there are things outside of your own interests and pursuits. What Disney has written instead is blatant intersectional pandering and wish fulfillment, which actually overwrites some of the most important features of established canon. If the idea of a space witch achieving pregnancy through force of will sounds familiar, it’s because that was supposed to have been an innovation of Darth Plageus, the master of Emperor Palpatine. Did Disney forget about this? Or are they having as difficult a time keeping the source material straight as the average fan?

I’m not of the thinking that entertainment must necessarily teach a lesson. After all, entertainment is largely made-up, and the authors can insert an arbitrary moral in an attempt to justify the existence of the product to a concerned fundamentalist, and can make the moral anything that they want, including stupid nonsense that has no chance of working when put into practice in the real world. As such, I don’t expect Star Wars to contain some deep, existential meaning, especially with Disney writing it. Star Wars is not going to contain the meaning of life, especially with Disney writing up a fantasy about lesbian witches wishing themselves pregnant.

About the meaning of life, I personally think it’s pretty obvious. Life is about increasing the living mass, and increasing consciousness. You see this in nature, when you see a simple protein taking matter and free energy, and using it to create more simple proteins like itself. From a biological point of view, for us to produce progeny is the most important thing that we can do. And we have the means to do so without having to join a cult which attempts to bring it about with magical thinking. And, when it comes down to it, lesbianism is a subversion of the process.

Star Wars is supposed to be entertainment, but it’s failing miserably at that. That’s to be expected, when Disney is looking to score DEI points with intersectional pandering which alienates the vast majority of people. After all, less than 2% of all people are homosexual, and the rest are likely to be alienated by something that they don’t care to be associated with.

In fact, there’s more at stake than it not being interesting. Do you know what women in general think of homosexual men? They don’t respect them. Because women by nature tend to be more agreeable, they aren’t likely to say as much. But most women don’t want to date a man who has engaged in gay sex. This is because women care whether men have put their features in places where they do not belong. Women view gay men as having an ick on them that cannot be washed off. When heterosexual men are aware of this, it’s natural that they’d want to distance themselves from anything homosexual.

When you have the theory of mind that permits an awareness of this, it’s abundantly clear that writing in homosexual wish fulfillment is counterproductive to a brand whose objective is to have as broad an appeal as possible. I don’t wear the Star Wars logo for the same reason I don’t drink Bud Light: the image associated with the brand is something I’d rather avoid.

It’s because of this that I haven’t bothered with Star Wars in a long time. So when I hear that Disney attempted another spin-off that spits right in the faces of those who are still involved, all that really is to me is a spectacle for me to behold, pointing and laughing.

Other than that, Star Wars doesn’t mean anything to me.

This is an unmitigated disaster.

Lately, I’ve been feeling a little nostalgic. Therefore, I decided to look up places where I used to live on Google Maps’ streetview. Then, out of curiosity, I decided to look up an apartment community that I used to live at.

As I did, I was hit with the community’s rent, which nearly doubled since my time there, just over a decade ago.

It was unbelievable. So, I looked up rent for other places in the area, and the trend was consistent.

It’s only been a few years since I last checked. And just within the last few years, rent has skyrocketed to the point of nearly doubling.

I can tell you why this so deeply affects me. Back when I last lived in that community, I worked a full-time retail job, but somehow lived on what little I made. On most months, I barely scraped by. Most of the time, I was concerned about my finances, because there was nothing I could do to save a significant amount. If anything went even slightly wrong, my financial situation would have been a disaster.

Right now, I’m much better off. But I couldn’t try living the same way I did in the same place, if I were to make the same money. If anyone tried now, what are they supposed to do?

I’ll throw some numbers your way: On the typical month, I took home about $1100 per month. Rent got to be about $800 per month. Of the rest, most went towards other expenses like bills, leaving me with about $30 to spend on stuff to eat. For the time being, I’ll leave you to imagine the kind of food that I ate.

But if the rent were to instead be $1500 per month? Just forget about it, unless you were to share the one-bedroom apartment with one or two other guys.

Lately, I’ve been entertaining the thought of moving back near my hometown. But now? That doesn’t seem reasonable.

Thinking on what could have happened in the last few years that might have resulted in this, there’s one thing that springs readily to mind: an explosion in unchecked immigration has caused demand to soar. Companies like BlackRock have profited huge off of shitty policy that has fucked Americans over, and the current dogwater administration has done jack-all outside of enabling it.

If you’re poor and just getting by, leave a comment and let me know how you’re getting it to work out.

Jews in NYC Riot Over Tunnel

Leave a reply

This morning, I opened up X, saw a story about Jewish tunnels in New York City, and thought, “Oh boy, now what is it?”.

Apparently, a tunnel was discovered connecting a Synagogue in NYC to a grate across the street. Since its discovery, the city proceeded to attempt to fill the tunnel up, sparking a riot among the Chabad Jews who carved the tunnel, apparently because they really liked their tunnel.

There’s a bit of misinformation going around about how the tunnel might have been built so that Jews could access their Synagogue during the Covid lockdowns, but if we’re being honest, it’s still not completely clear what purpose the tunnel served. As one might expect, the intellectual dead-ends who blame the Jews for every last problem that they have were quick to assume the worst, because of course they would.

I’ll be honest and say that I’m no expert when it comes to Judaism, but from what little I know, among the Jews, the Chabads are considered to be something of an outlier, similar to how the Mormons are viewed by the rest of Christianity. I really don’t know what kind of religious justification there could be for a tunnel going from a synagogue.

But whatever the reason may be, a bunch of people in black suits and funny hats flew into a rage at the prospect of the city of New York filling the tunnel back up.

If you wanna see, and I don’t blame you, I managed to find someone on social media that hosted a video that had an impartial tone:

Also, I’ll share this because I found the picture cute. Mozel tov mouseys!

There’s also some disinformation about this story going around. Which is to be expected, because there is potential to defame the Jews, and there’s an excess of sub-room-temp-IQ wignats who defied the rules of natural selection to survive to the point that wireless internet can be set up for them, with the rest of us probably paying for it in some way. Dispelling disinformation is not my job, and if it was, it’d be a full time job, and probably wouldn’t pay enough considering the muck one would have to sift through. Among these is the claim that the tunnel led to an elementary school across the street, and was used to expedite a child-trafficking ring.

So, I entered “Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters” on Google Maps to check to see whether an elementary school was, in fact, across the street from the Synagogue. This is what I found:

All one really had to do was check Google Maps and see for themselves that there’s no elementary school across the street from the Synagogue in question. If you fell for the lie, then the world must be a scary and confusing place for you. Which it is for the rest of us, but perhaps much more so for you.

As for what the tunnel was really about, I suppose we’ll find out from much brighter people in the days ahead. But considering the sheer number of Jewish facilities in the area, I suspect that they wanted an access tunnel, and went ahead and carved one out without the city’s permission. Which is irresponsible, considering the danger of sinkholes and the possibility of a tunnel collapse. I know that crossing the street can be quite an inconvenience in a place like New York City, but carving a tunnel is quite the investment of time, itself.

If you can think of a conspiracy theory involving Jewish tunnels that actually sounds intelligent, please share in the comments. I’m still yet to hear one.
