Twitter poster QuasLacrimas has, I believe, the right take:
Since everyone seems to have a take: if leftist poors can openly call for assassinations but all other poors can get fired for very milquetoast observations, it creates the impression leftism is legally mandatory. Thus leftist poors must be persecuted to protect the others, however this is a dishonorable job and I suggest anyone with self-respect leave hunting cashiers and the like to bottom-feeding grifters who will gladly smear themselves in muck for attention.(2/2)

Letting Enrique Tarrio out of a 22 year sentence is reprehensible imo.
Did he kill anyone? 22 years is what you get for contract murder or multi billion dollar fraud. What is he actually guilty of? The bullshit that he tried to 'overthrow the government' doesn't fly. Wannabe street thugs don't overthrow governments even though they might occupy buildings.
In this case it was a clear set-up by feds, the guy is likely a patsy or an informer who played his part but was betrayed by the blob. It seems, to me, a clearly political conviction.
Giving him 22 years for seditious conspiracy would make sense were he say, a National Guard colonel whose troops arrested the entire senate and occupied the building for days.
Letting him out seems perfectly just. We know the Feds were up to something there with the snow-job related to Epps and the unbelievable fake pipe-bomb plot that's conveniently been memory holed. Or the footage of security opening doors to let the surprisingly well behaved 'rioters' walk around.

I am utterly unclear as to the mechanism that allows blame to propagate forward through time and generations but doesn't allow credit and pride to propagate as well.
It's not about a mechanism. It's bullshit wordcelry.
The entire thing exists to harm what's left of the culture of your people and to deprive you of power. That was explicitly stated by the people who made it up, except nobody bothers to read marxist books but people paid to do so or lunatics. Trying to tease about the internal consistency of an ideology seeking your dispossession is just crazy.
Rufo's book "America's Cultural Revolution" goes about the genesis of that bullshit in excruciating, mind numbing details, it's also widely available.

There is a deep state problem, but it's not the 'unelected bureaucrats' in washington, it's the decaying corpses of Jefferson Davis and Johnny Reb clinging on to conservatism's ankles and dragging it down into the mud.
Are you really saying FDR, the New Deal, the Civil Rights Revolution and the rise of the US managerialism is mostly due to.. the confederacy having been imperfectly dealt with?
It's not a rhetorical question, I'm genuinely puzzled.

entirely defensive from the left.
It is not.
It is not defensive to tell confused teenagers that they might be trans, hide any concerns from their parents and then push them into the pipeline, where they're quickly given hormones, hormone blockers without any serious evaluation.
It is not defensive to redefine asking confused people whether they're sure they want to undergo irreversible medical procedures as 'conversion therapy', which, in case you don't remember was trying to condition homosexuals with aversive stimuli so they'd stop being same-sex attracted.
The clockwork orange treatment. Didn't really work to no one's surprise.
All without proper psychiatric evaluations or any sensible measures that are standard in somewhat well-run countries such as Finland or Sweden.
It does seem all the PR efforts have paid off. I'd feel pity about all the female to 'male' types who get into this.

a lot of gays would be happier be heterosexually married with the occasional gay experience.
You're not talking about gays there, but bisexuals. And yes, they'd probably be happier if involved in a stable relationship instead of an endless series of bouts of anonymous casual sex.
I'm not sure actual gays, that is men who are homoromantic and homosexual would be happier if they kept pretending they aren't.
And what about the spouses?
I guess one can have a genuine fondness and friendship for someone of the sex you aren't attracted to, and even e.g. taking care of a children together is imaginable, but it's very wrong to do under false pretenses. He's never going to be really passionate about her, and can only satisfy her on a romantic level through heroic, sustained effort.
In this mostly ex-catholic country I've heard from family many stories of medical professionals of some sort discovering their spouse with whom they have children is gay. They were in love with the guy, he was in denial. These arent't happy stories.

Trump's followers have a libidinal investment in seeing illegal migrants be deported, and in seeing the "leeches" among the federal bureaucrats be exposed for their indolence.
It's basic animal sense that if you see your enemies using resources taken from you to conduct their politics, you deprive them of those resources. There's nothing libidinal there for the utter majority of people who are for such policies.
They, too, have ingroup loyalty -- they simply define their ingroup as "BIPOC", or "allies"
That right there is why I believe the left to be insane. BIPOC would drop the baizuo as soon as they got the upper hand.

Facts are: he was trespassing, he had a knife in a place where he shouldn't have had one and then when confronted stabbed a guy who objected to him being there.
To me it seems outrageous a bond is even allowed. He is being charged as an adult. Letting murderers walk free for months until there's a court case? That's not how thing are supposed to go.

, among Asians, Indians in the West so often end up in leadership positions (especially in the corporate world), and East Asians don't?
Let me quote Kissinger on that
"They (Indians) are superb flatterers, Mr. President. They are masters at flattery. They are masters at subtle flattery. That's how they survived 600 years. They suck up...their great skill is to suck up to people in key positions."
As someone who much more prefers a yelling match or being told "this is crap" and "this will never work" and being blunt, I have a deep loathing for the Indian ethos of bending the truth or just straight out lying about things.
This is a constant. I hear it from my family who sometimes have the misfortune of dealing with Indians employed by their contractors, I see it on twitter where are few of the RWers I talk to are developers who have to deal with frequently lying Indian contractors.

"How Czech Republic managed to get its Ministry of Justice investigated for money laundering of cca 4000+ bitcoin from a darknet drug marketplace"
“It was so ultra-legal that it couldn’t be more legal,” the justifiably former Minister of Justice Pavel 'Don Pablo' Blažek. [1]
Finally, some a bit 21st century news. I put this into CW and not 'fun' because 'populists might benefit'.
In march of '25 , the Ministry of Justice in Czech Republic accepted about $40 million gift in the form of 864 bitcoin. I briefly remembered the news item: MoJ is selling bitcoin in auction.
Now, the justice minister has resigned, the ministry is being investigated for money laundering, the minister is being investigated for abusing his position and Tomáš Jiříkovský, who gave the gift is missing.
The timeline, so far, seems to be something like:
2013/3: Tomáš opens Sheep Marketplace (SM) opens. Initially scarcely used and amateurish, it gets a lot of users after Silk Road collapses.
2013/10: Silk Road closes. People flood to SM
2013/12: SM hacked, 5400 client bitcoin stolen according to its admins. Real amount is unknown, possibly up to 96,000.. Tomáš closes the market and pockets the rest of the bitcoin clients had there.
2014-2016: Tomáš runs 'Nucleus', another darknet marketplace. He tries to launder the stolen money and attracts NCOZ (kind of like Czech FBI without counterintelligence duties).
2016/4/12 Tomáš is arrested by the Czech police.
2016/4/13 Nucleus marketplace stops responding and again, client bitcoin go missing. It's obvious Tomáš was running Nucleus. Police never investigate him for this.
2018: Tomáš is sentenced to 9 years for drug trading, embezzlement and illegal weapons to 9 years. His electronic devices areconfiscated. State intends to wipe it to prevent the perp from benefitting from the proceeds of a crime. The perp's lawyers contest this.
2021: Tomáš is out due to good behavior. He starts to petition the courts, first to prevent data destruction, then to return his seized devices.
2025/1 The courts finally rule that he can get them all back.
2025/3 For no ostensible reason, Tomáš proposes to gift the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) about $40 million in bitcoin that's supposedly not stolen. There's going to be an expert witness present to attest to that it's not stolen darknet bitcoin, the transaction will be overseen by a notary too. This happens and is covered in crypto news, who are of course unaware of who is involved.
2025/5/30: this hits the news, perhaps due to Tomáš, who seems to be an ADHD guy with a vocational school degree only, making the list of richest people in Czech Republic. Revelations soon follow: the expert witness was paid by Tomáš. The wallet was opened 10 hours before the notary got there - they did not want to waste his time while dealing with the encrypted wallet. It's determined up to 4000 bitcoin were sent from the wallet to various addresses before the notary got there to witness the gift to MoJ.
2025/6 Tomáš departs for parts unknown - probably because people missing their bitcoins are are offering bounties for his whereabouts. Minister of Justice resigns. FBI gets involved.
Some important notes: most everyone involved in this case is connected to Masaryk univerzity in Brno (~750k), the second largest city in Czech lands, much hated by people from the capital.(1500K). Tomáš's grandfather was a professor there. The prime minister and the justice minister both studied there. Tomáš lived in Břeclav, a town close to it.
My suspicions: based on the lot of Czech language info I've read on this case, it looks like the justice minister ensured the courts ruled to not wipe the devices, and some of the other bitcoin were likely gifted to people backing the staunchly pro-war and pro-American government parties. The courts obliged but in their verdicts strongly protested and said the bitcoin were proceeds of a crime. Of course, this implies the prime minister knew about this too. But the it's believed is the justice minister is more influential than the PM, and claimed to be ' regional godfather',

I am legitimately confused. None of this seems to make sense.
On the contrary, it makes perfects sense. If you take people from a chaotic and poor country, and not the best people and send them to a place that's not poor and not chaotic and just let them loose, without close supervision, they're going to behave in a chaotic manner.
They, or a substantial part of them were apparently relocated there as a part of a scheme to provide cheap workforce, but I find it doubtful that most of them even work. We know the statistics, we know they don't know the language and have low ability on average. So low that profitably employing them is a challenge.
Haiti is one of the poorest countries on Earth. You surely know of the observations Scott Alexander made and then deleted off the internet out of fear?.

Hanson isn't a neoreactionary. He's an elderly economist who loves freedom of speech and likes to be a bit trolly at times.
He never wrote a single important nrx post, didn't comment in nrx spaces, is not known for long edgy political posts either. His twitter interactions with Nick Land run to a grand total of cca 20 replies over 9 years.
Roko, no idea what he was up to but if he was nrx then, he was,at best, a lurker. You're free to find counterexamples to this, the entire xenosystems blog is archived. and practically everyone involved in nrx commented there while it was running.
Breitbart simply was never really good, and the article was co-written by Milo, who is an untrustworthy charlatan and that article of their is just plain bad. NRx wasn't really influence on the alt-right, contrary to what lazy journalists thought..
There was little overlap between the two. You can check out how a typical Xenosystems comment section looked like here. Then compare it to lesswrong.

Interesting development concerning ChatGPT related to CW.
People observed that ChatGPT talks like a midwit liberal after all the 'fixes' it's been subjected to.
So, it speaks in the jargon of the ingroup.
So, someone figured out you can 'weaponize' ChatGPT to engage in 'debates' with midwit liberals without actually having to learn to ape their slang and thought patterns.
Apparently, this is quite effective as a debating tactic.
This is going to end badly- I can feel it, and if this takes off, I feel that within a few weeks a number of very smart people will be trying their damnedest to figure out how to prevent doing something like this.
However, I feel that various spook contractors outfits are almost certainly going to use the AI to control discourse by literally moving into 'creating a guy' type of activity in the next years. Any and every place where you'll want to debate anything online that will allow free entry will be swamped by very good bots intended to get people chasing their tails and believing the right things.
That's an obvious brute force fix for the problem of social media fracturing the consent manufacturing machine.
They'll probably settle for making a ML model spot this sort of activity and then ban people who're doing it, that's my guess.

I'm gobsmacked that Shiloh has managed to milk three quarters of a million dollars (and counting!) out of being accosted over a minor literal playground scuffle.
Remember the Zebra killings? The ones so deprioritised from history that back on Reddit Motte when I mentioned them that people raised in the San Francisco area had no clue ~20 to several scores of whites were killed in a sustained campaign of race murder?
These people -violent black nationalists haven't gone away. They still exist.
Insane random killings of white people are still a thing, of course the DoJ makes a point of making sure no one investigates 'senseless' violence too closely. What would be the point? There's nothing you can do thus ignorance is bliss.
This one, a double murder by rifle followed by a shootout involving an armored car made the local headlines briefly. How many cases won't because it looks like just another robbery gone awry?
It's practically certain that that video has led to her featuring in sadistic rape / murder fantasies of hundreds of black bigots and likely also some leftist activist ones - as I'm unaware of any data that indicates that sexual sadism does not occur in black men, or that they do not have a subpopulation that is itching for some violence.
And while yes, they're not the mob, the odds of someone availing themselves of an opportunity to rape or kill someone who truly deserves it are quite real.

What I absolutely find grating is that this person takes the existence of community for granted when it's for most people no more real than bigfoot.
It's perfectly sensible, when you think a little and remember the politics of people known as 'community organizers'.
That there's no community doesn't mean you can't appoint yourself to be a spokesman for a community.
It's not like they're organised enough to prevent you from speaking in their name, besides, the media knows what message it wants to hear so they'll know who to ask.

” It’s such a clownish statement you would never believe it actually came out of someone’s mouth, but it did.
You live in clown world. A CRS insider published a book bragging how he and his colleagues have been secretly stage managing race riots, race controversies and so on, in confidence from everyone but maybe some senate committee and president since 1962.
Yes, they only tell congress what they want to tell congress, and they're not subject to FOIA. Book was published in 2020 or so.
Most everyone assumed this crap was managed and CRS was even mentioned because they're not that secret, but e.g. knowledge of this book only came up in 2025.

One of these cultists described as an "Oxford trained computer scientist" recently (17th of january) killed the 82 year old landlord who previously fought off an attack by Zizians and survived a sword through his chest. He had a gun, of course.
An Oxford-trained computer scientist could face the death penalty for allegedly killing an 82-year-old Vallejo landlord to prevent him from testifying in a murder case against his former tenants, according to the Solano County District Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors allege in a complaint filed Monday that 22-year-old Maximilian Snyder was “lying in wait” for Curtis Lind before stabbing him outside his property around 2:18 p.m. Jan. 17 near Lemon and Third streets in Vallejo. The complaint charges Snyder, who made his first court appearance Tuesday afternoon, with first-degree murder with special circumstances. He is being held without bail at the Solano County Jail in Fairfield.
It's a seemingly pretty irrational cult as these guys first attacked a guy with knives and then stabbed him to death. Quietly poisoning him with something that'd look like a natural death seems far more rational and within the abilities of computer scientists, yet..
