The Siege of Krishnapur. I couldn’t get through Blood Meridian because it used retarded, over the top violence in lieu of plot or developed characters, albeit the prose was sheer artistry on display to almost make it readable.

You could, like, go to a college football game. Or an English football game.

TBF, USA! USA! USA! Is almost uniquely suited to chanting among major country names.

The USA world cup match was also absolutely full of celebrities chanting 'USA! USA! USA!' after every goal(well, except for Paraguay's single goal). Sports brought America together that night; libtard celebrities were chanting with Marco Rubio and jeering the ref when he made pro-paraguay decisions. The rich and famous seemed less like an alien race and more like a bunch of regular guys living unusual lives.

It's not that weird for committed shitlibs. Union plumbers are ultramaga republicans.
Granted we don't have a lot of people on the motte that want to clear out all the magats on the grounds that if they can do it we can do without it. But the bluesky crowd being horrified at the politics of the experts at keeping their lights on and their water running is a semi-regular occurrence.

Gypsies definitely present themselves a certain way, and that is key to being a gypsy.

Score one against the hypothesis that the male tilt of migration is why people hate it.

So TL;DR, tokens are cheaper than basically all white collar workers in the modern west, but they get overused for fun projects?

Charitable giving? Precious metals? More expensive food?

This raises the question- how much does a token cost, and how much does it do? I'm given to understand the standard software engineering productivity line is 1 line of code/hour, is a token more or less than that(and does it cost more than an hour of a software engineer's time)?
This discussion of tokens is sort of like 'the carpet costs 40,000 Kazakhi tenges(to pick random foreign money I'm not familiar with)'. OK, sounds like a lot, but how much is a tenge? If it's worth as much as yen, that's not a bad deal.

‘Whatever happens, we have got The maxim gun, and they have not’
Rotor’s drift was a British victory because the British couldn’t retreat and had guns. The zulus lost a lot of people, but Isandlwana shows that they were highly effective at war.

American english doesn't use lego in the singular. 'He has legos' 'oh how many' 'one brick'.

As I understand it, the loyalist paramilitaries have turned into something like truly outlaw biker gangs in the USA- they aren't particularly religious or nationalist anymore, despite the exclusionary membership rules, and more exist to skirt the edges to society, dabble in organized crime, etc- and that the non-actual-hard-communist branches of the IRA are now more or less totally defunct, the 'real IRA' and continuity IRA are tiny fringe groups mostly made up of true believers in the hardcore versions of extreme lefty ideologies.

To be clear, 'we' referred to more of a collective opinion of my coworkers/class peers/whatever.

The US largely broke the unions for the lower construction hierarchy jobs- roofers and the like. But the pipe trades and electrical unions are going strong. They’re not the norm in my state, but they’ve got their own niche.

Fair, but I do think that I speak a tad bit better for the specific group of ‘normie red tribe blue collar maga’, which rarely sees prostitutes positively the way many people see athletes or rock stars, but also doesn’t hate them.

Yes. California is progressive, it is very much not libertine.

If they're anything like US unions, they will not do this.
I mean, this time Iran claims that is has a deal and will sign on the nineteenth in Geneva.
