Your best piece yet. You seem way more mature and broadly focused than when I heard you interviewed by Dave the Distributist a couple of years ago. I remember you mumbling about some manosphere stuff and I tuned out. But this is good, really good.
yeah its well written. I like to nitpick in cases like these and rub salt in the wound by pointing some things out, in this case one would be that the fact that you can get "Starlink on top of the Rocky Mountains" seems to be at least in no small part but likely mostly due to government technology transfers related to phased arrays, beamfoming methods, and low earth sat ops tech, the US taxpayer had large scientific complexes working to develop all that for several decades and then gave it to Musk (its largely classified tech) and then he charges the taxpayer, as both taxpayers and as private consumers, to use it....
Geopolitics is real. Technology has opened the world's communications to everyone. America cannot go backwards in time, and it cannot exist as an entity sealed off from everyone else. I resonate to some of what was said in the above article, as some of it is thoughtful and true. However, much of it is hyperbolic fiction. Particularly the idea that any single man, in a country as gigantic and bureaucratic as the USA, will rise as a magical, moral, caring savior. Human nature tells us, no one with the qualities the author is looking for, would ever get to a position of power in today's enormous states, if they possessed or evidenced those qualities and that unique focus.
Anon has lost faith because he lacks the perspective of history. Great men do exist, have existed, even if there aren't many that inspire you within your microscopic 20-40 year sampling of history.
"Technology" is overrated, innovation has stagnated greatly and the biggest companies now, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Disney, sell products only marginally better than, or outright worse than 10-15 years ago. OP is right, if we fix our demographic problems domestically, we'll see greater innovation than before, not less.
We still have great men. Elon is likely one of them. However, don't expect any of these individuals to innovate in the ways, or for the reasons, you'd like them to do so.
Posting this on several DR authors I follow so sorry if you read elsewhere.
I think the compromise/solution to the H1B debate is to only allow immigrant women.
-Crime (especially violent crime) is not imported with women.
-Immigrant women will primarily replace in and depress the wages of other women in the workforce. This may incentivize American women to not join the workforce, and focus on the home or opt for motherhood and homemaking.
-Conquerors (those of superior culture/nations) often took the women from the subjugated peoples. America being an economic conqueror can import women with the carrot not the stick.
-TFR and population growth is really based upon how many women a country has. Foreign men are not needed for natural population growth.
Open to being told I am wrong here and we don't want/need anyone else. Fair enough then, door's closed, but thought it was a solid (but probably impractical) idea.
Listened to this with some relish, Hyde was spot-on on every point, really this 'China competition' nonsense has gone too far and is leading the likes of the Tech-right to show their true colours ahead of time. The question remains; what in the hell does 'competing with China' even mean at this point when we're drowning in a sea of brownness and are losing our nations without a shot even being fired.
Honestly it was never a bout competing with them but destroying our nations. Hyde was right to call out Elon Musk.
My simple take on the various visa programs…much of this can be combatted by returning to a lot of the values that companies had back in the post WW2 era: training, loyalty, community development, and of course profit but without all of the side metrics. If companies train talented folks, then reward them as they succeed, the companies benefit. As someone who has used the H1-B program to recruit engineers into manufacturing, and who has hired folks with talent and assisted in their development into mfg and controls engineers (non degreed, but just as effective in the field if not more than their degreed counterparts), both programs produce results. The H1-B is generally faster and has higher turnover/volatility. The latter is slower but more effective for retention and subsequently better for the company long term.
The issue in my mind is how we revert to an era that prized training and development and was less focused on the weekly stock price and was more focused on company growth. To your point, it will take a supportive top down approach by those with money who are willing to invest in and grow businesses in the above fashion and who aren’t beholden to Wall St.
There is some irony to the above, but I’ll leave that for another time. I appreciate your post as we start the New Year.
Financialization is fine and it's not new. America was founded in part by a public corporation and England, where we came from, was financialized enough that Voltaire said it made the English a secular people.
The problem I think is that we've forgotten who we are and that most people just don't see the world we do.
I look at us somewhat in the way the English used to look at Australia…we were a country they sent their degenerates to…who then thrived on our individuality and ability to deal with hardship. Unfortunately this goes back to the phrase “hard times make hard men”…we’ve been hard and we’ve seen the benefits. Unfortunately we’re in the soft stage where we or our parents are living off of the good times. In my lifetime we will have to become hard again unfortunately.
Not the same thing, listen to Pete’s podcast with Stormy Waters about citizens united; corporations have metastasized into a monstrous extractive cancer on society.
The unquenchable thirst for cheap labor has caused some of the greatest harm in human history. America has all the elite human capital it needs, thank you very much.
And America is very much a real nation and not an idea—a proposition nation is one of the most retarded and cancerous conceits ever concocted. I’m a third-gen married to a first-gen so I’m not heritage American but the country my family came to WAS heritage American, built by heritage Americans, and I want to keep it that way. If my family knew America would become India or Guatemala or whatever, they would’ve stayed in Greece.
Usury and industrialism is how we got here. We don’t need another Ford or Carnegie. We need John Taylor of Caroline, Jeff Davis, Nathan Bedford Forrest, RL Dabney, and 25 million Warrior Yeoman to build a culture of blood, soil, and worship.
> All we need is for our leaders to return, to remove the parasites that have for decades weighed us down, taken advantage of our good will, and made advancements in their own interest rather than that of their countrymen
I don't expect a leader to care about me, but a leader should care about us because we can make them care. But what is us? Our job is to create specific institutions that cultivate virtue, excellence, families and local leaders who can then engage in power politics with leaders outside of us. Eventually a major leader will be ourguy but the path to that requires that we first develop many minor leaders and institutions so we can actually engage in real politics.
well written! I like to nitpick in cases like these and rub salt in the wound by pointing some things out, in this case one would be that the fact that you can get "Starlink on top of the Rocky Mountains" seems to be at least in no small part but likely mostly due to government technology transfers related to phased arrays, beamfoming methods, and low earth sat ops tech, the US taxpayer had large scientific complexes working to develop all that for several decades and then gave it to Musk (its largely classified tech) and then he charges the taxpayer, as both taxpayers and as private consumers, to use it....
Goosebumps with that ending... Wow!
Amen! Well said sir.
Fantastic article Red Hawk. Amen brother!
🇺🇸!🇺🇸!🇺🇸!
Us and us alone can only mean whites . After a time, the American nation will heal from the multiracial disaster begun after ww2

Would be GREAT for families and communities if more women stayed home!!!

I'd argue that's more of a flaw with so called democracy than it is with finalization and corporations.
I voted for the first time ever in 2024 because my local gym in a central PA suburb looks like a UN meeting on third world hunger. This must end.

America and Americans first.
