"They hate you but only because you make being retarded look so fun." Lol, true.

As part GDS sufferer, part Gribbles advocate, I agree with much of your critique. But I think there are further distinctions to be made. For instance, I am all for defending the "salt of the earth" Middle American deltas, and can see how some people's attitudes come across as negative or dismissive toward them. But I have limits on behaviors that are excessively stupid, hateful, or hurtful. For me, the relevant distinction is between barstooler and chud. I am pro-barstooler and anti-chud.

Okay, this was so mean. But also super funny. I like Hanania and agree with him on 70-80%ish of stuff, but also think he is way more secretly sleazy than you are giving him credit for. 😊 You are definitely brutal in slay queen mode!

Very true. I like Hanania and the crustacean people very much. Only he and the security state can truly know his search history.

One of my core principles in general is easy:

Those with no noblesse oblige do not deserve to rule and must be taken down. Whether they are slaveowners directly saying "I own you, you are nothing" to slaves, or these neoliberal dysgenics and their predecessors in the form of Mencken, or really whatever form. Those whose ideology/beliefs/agenda/wtv eventually boils down to turning the entire human race into lab rats should be the lab rats instead. Those who see those beneath them as rats to be stomped out rather than people to be lifted and empowered are always dysgenic themselves, this is proven by Himmler (Himmler's diary and Nazis treating Soviet female soldiers with unique savagery) to the autistic, physically deformed Hanania who definitely won't pass any "select the dysgenic" tests.

Plus, any advocates of human depopulation are always the types of people who must start from themselves. No environmentalism can include human depopulation.

Why is that, because governance and running a society is not a game. If human survival is not the utmost priority of your agenda why the fuck is it your business to decide how human society should run? Go to the forest then, misanthrope.

Well said, all around. It is a rare thing to break the SNAP Principle; I look forward to the occasion where I feel inclined to get all hunty slay queen yas bitch. Please, keep up your good work.

The problem is when they put people in who try to get rid of vaccines and measles makes a comeback.

I otherwise agree not everyone is cut out to be the sort of person who lays out their pants before going to bed, and being free to do stupid shit and face the consequences has always been the American way. I rather enjoy the hot dog burger at Carl's Jr too. But you don't put these people in charge of the department of health.

And, I see I've contradicted myself from a month ago. Well, live and learn.

America was literally founded on Gribbleism. Back in the 1770s, one of the main motivating factors for the colonial Patriots was a paranoid belief that there was an insidious Catholic plot to rob them of their rights and liberties as Englishmen. You can see that on an early patriotic flag that featured a union jack and read "George III Rex and the Liberties of America - No Popery". If it weren't for 18th century Gribbles thinking Catholic lizard people were out to get them, this very country likely would not exist.

I don't care for the "Elite Human Capital" stuff either but I don't want to dedicate a post to it because that would give it more engagement than it deserves. Normally I would say a post that just insults other authors and calls them soyboys is in poor taste, but in this case it's entirely justified, since you're just flipping their own tactic back at them.

It's also odd that they counter-signal a demographic of people *who are correct*. It would be one thing if they said, "You're right this stuff is happening and will happen, but here is why it is good." Instead, they actually *deny* it's happening, and then embrace it, which is classic liberal bullshit.

I’m on my elitist heel arc now. Dale Gribble and anyone like him should have the right to run his own life, succeed or fail on his own merits, and generally be left alone to live as he sees fit. But he shouldn’t be deciding anything of consequence to the general public. He has neither the intelligence nor the education to do so. He’s going to make a hash of it just like the chief Gribble in the White House just now. Unfortunately the elite forfeited their credibility between COVID and wokeness but they still do a better job of running the country than know nothing populists. I’d take Pete Buttigieg over RFK Jr any day.

A certain degree of stupidity is the price we pay for freedom.

I used to believe in expertise, but with the woke corruption reaching the sciences, we're in full-postmodern land where you can't trust anyone anymore, and all I can say is 'support the First Amendment and let God sort 'em out'.

Intellectual vanity is the most deadly of all the vanities, for it only gets worse over time.

in addition, the intellectual is unparalleled in his ability to justify any belief, regardless of how monstrous…or retarded.

Hey, don’t knock mani-pedis! If you’re the type to indulge in a little foot fetishism, it’s only logical to add one of life’s best creature comforts to your massage routine.
