-Great Cultural Revolution
The definitive narrative on what happened to Gen Z men. From harmless liberal to far right.


“Genetic homogeneity of whites”?? What kind of idiocy is that — possibly the Finns are homogenous, but nobody else, especially us Heinz-57 American mutts who are proud of even a tiny admixture of native American ancestry.

#1  Clearly they're getting squeezed out by healthy cells.

Cells Use ‘Bioelectricity’ To Coordinate and Make Group Decisions

Results published in Nature show that cells use bioelectricity(opens a new tab) to coordinate a complex collective behavior called extrusion, a vital process that ejects sick or struggling individual cells from tissue to maintain health and keep growth in check. Merciless as it might seem, extrusion helps keep you alive. It’s vital for the health of protective epithelial tissues, and when it goes wrong, it can contribute to disease, including cancer and asthma. Until now, it’s been unclear how cells were singled out for this process.

#2  You can ridicule it all you like, it's what the youth believe. They think the Great Replacement conspiracy theory is real and display photos from their parents and old Betamax videos from shopping malls showing a 98% white America.

#5  Being labelled the cause of all problems, guilty of any accusation and having to prove one's innocent, categorically discriminated against, and watching male relatives and friends broken by unequal application of law, eventually leaves many with a very internalized animosity towards social institutions and government. Treat a man as nothing but a ATM for other parties and tax harvesting and many men have chosen 'Men Going Their Own Way', MGTOW.

#6  You can ridicule it all you like, it's what the youth believe.

For a brief moment in time, I was a fan of the Chicago Seven backed by Country Joe and the Fish.

In retrospect, youth are stupid.

Pro..2k is right.

and not just Gen Z

even the boomer generation, if they worked beyond, say 1993 (beginning of the "Hillary Effect" or so, witnessed egregious demonizing and in many cases, outright discrimination against men, especially white men

#9  MGTOW are older men, usually divorced, who want nothing more to do with women.

Younger men are our future, but they're being radicalized and only see half the story. The Gaza defensive operation being a case in point.
They don't know and don't care about the Oct 7 genocide that started it.

#11  That’s why I let it through today. The discussion is important.

But Nick Fuentes is now a registered Democrat, which must make some thoughtful.

#12  MGTOW are older men, usually divorced, who want nothing more to do with women.

A tsunami of youtube postings and channels of women desperately looking for Chad, Tyron or Ray Ray says otherwise.

Texas paid for Biden's border crisis. Republicans must make sure it never happens again
[FoxNews] Under President Trump’s leadership, illegal border crossings have plummeted to historic lows and the rule of law has been restored to communities across the country. This is much-needed relief from the open-border chaos and lawlessness we endured under the Biden administration, but Congress would be foolish to think this problem is solved for good.

We’ve seen the consequences of a federal government that abdicates its first and most important responsibility – providing for the common defense – and, if the past is prologue, we know exactly what we can expect from future Democrat administrations that want to take us back.

For four years under Biden, millions of illegal aliens flooded our borders, drug and human trafficking surged, and our communities were overwhelmed. And when Texas stepped up to protect its citizens, the federal government didn’t just fail to help – it actively obstructed. When Texas deployed buoy barriers, the administration sued. When the state installed razor wire, federal agents cut it. When Texas passed laws to enforce immigration policy and restore order, the Department of Justice challenged those efforts in court. The Biden White House used every tool at its disposal to keep the border open and leave states defenseless.

#2  The key word you need to keep in mind about the Biden regime is vindictive.

#3  #2 Leftists are NOT vindictive. They simply can't share the World with anyone who disagrees with them.

#4  ^ The very fact that you disagree with them proves you are wrong. And wrongthink must be eliminated.

China-Japan-Koreas
How Trump-Xi summit could set superpower relations for many years to come
[BBC] Security around Beijing's historic Tiananmen Square has been heightened for days, with rumours on social media swirling of a special parade or some big, choreographed event.

Preparations for this major event have started with a whisper, but China appears ready to put on a show for US President Donald Trump.

The visit will include talks, a banquet, and a visit to the Temple of Heaven, a complex of imperial temples where emperors would pray for a good harvest.

And both Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will be hoping the visit will bear fruit. This summit between the world's two most powerful leaders is set to be one of the most consequential encounters for years.

The cheap, disposable Shahed Drone Iran is using to stop from surrendering is German-American, dating back to Reagan
[CdrSalamander] In the early 1980s, the United States and West Germany began developing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed to detect and engage enemy radar systems. The aircraft was also intended to mimic larger aircraft, acting as a decoy to divert enemy fire from manned aircraft.[1] On the German side, Dornier, and later its successor company DASA, was working on the project for the German Air Force. During the project’s development, a workable seeker head could not be developed, limiting its suitability for the intended anti-radar mission. This, along with the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, led to the project’s eventual termination. Following the end of the project, details of the system’s design were sold to Israel, which would develop its own IAI Harpy.
Bet the bicycle you ride to prevent global warming is from China.
