A RAY OF HOPE AMONG THE YOUNGER SET

      Yesterday, among the recommended channels I keep getting from Youtube, one vlog popped up titled The Male Loneliness Epidemic. The subject interested me, and the hostess was very cute😇 so I decided to hear what she had to say. I don't know much about her but she does have a large subscription base. From what she said, I get the impression that her politics are Left/Progressive: but to my amazement, this girl gets it.

   She actually covers much of what we've spoken of here: the commodification of relationships; the rise of the Red Pill/Alt Right, etc. On this last issue, she was especially prescient: "Twelve year-old white boys on Twitch are not being pulled into Fascism because of some Machiavellian desire to preserve and expand their privileges. It's because the Right talks to them and the Left doesn't." "It's all systemic issues and societal factors until the Left talks about men, then it's 'pull yourselves up by your bootstraps.'" And that's just a couple of the highlights. 

   All of which is true, and it's especially refreshing hearing it from a Leftist perspective. It's encouraging because it shows that younger women like this are waking up to the lie that they've been fed all of their lives. She likely grew up after the Clinton Co-Presidency's "Gender Wars" and where Feminist supremacy and toxic masculinity devolved into a New Normal. The Wall Street Oligarchs pulling the wires on the Clinton Administration of course cared nothing for women's rights anymore than the ones pulling the current Junta's wires do. In fact, radical Feminism served it's purpose by alienating and weakening men, eroding families, and depressing wages; and so it was quickly discarded in favor of the Homo Agenda once the Biden/Harris Junta was installed as the National Government. 

  Younger women like these are beginning to see through the Lie that is postmodern America. Growing up in a world where the State promoted 'female empowerment' and 'believe all women' and 'bring-your-daughters-to work days,' they came to maturity in a culture which suddenly found them as expendable as it had men before. Those of us who grew up in the 80s well recall that the Corporate bosses and politicians once praised the indispensability of the American working man. 

   Then, a few years later when the same wealthy business interests could outsource jobs to low-wage foreign labor pools and found that women could fill the new service and tech economy at 75% of what they paid men, all of us unemployed and unemployable men were tossed aside like so much garbage. Today's women are experiencing much the same thing. The Corporate interests are discarding them in favor of the Homo Agenda, by their own admission, because homosexuals and transsexuals have fewer familial concerns and tend to support their own communities. Thus, an 'LGBTQ-friendly' corporation has by definition a more loyal workforce.

   The bottom line here is something that the hostess actually observed: "Because feeling alienated under Capitalism apparently isn't a thing." The Corporate Cartels are not worried in the least about the quality of life of citizens or workers, a point that we and others have made here before about exactly what kind of sham 'democracy' we really live under. FYI, for anyone concerned about 'homo equality' that group will get discarded too; once these Corporate Oligarchs have perfected AI, robotics, and transhumanist technologies to the point that they don't need human workers so much. 

   "Don't get me wrong: the Republican Party will do nothing to help any of this" she quite truthfully asserts, "but the Right is, at least rhetorically, offering men something other than nothing or the eternal HR department...a lot of men simply feel that they have no purpose."

   That sums up the problem perfectly. As the late blogger Sir Guy said at his site What Women Never Hear pointed out that a man's greatest innate fear is insignificance. We've created a dysfunctional culture where insignificance is imposed on men from birth and wonder why they drop out, take drugs, or end in suicides; if not being lured into the cultish claws of charlatans a la Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, Vox Day, Doug Wilson, Rollo Tomassi, ad nauseum. 

  It's really a hopeful sign that an increasing number of young women are seeing through the hypocrisy of Neoliberalism without embracing the other extreme of Alt-RINO neofascism. Women aren't by nature community leaders, however their innate abilities as the future of the human race instinctively knows when a given society is headed on a dangerous course.

ACADEMIC MAFIA CAUGHT IN PRICE-FIXING SCAM

    In yet another story discreetly glossed over by the Corporate Media, the once-prestigious University of Chicago became the first of 16 'elite' American universities to fork over its share of one the largest class-action lawsuits against Academia Inc in history. The lawsuit focused on a now-defunct shady cartel known as the 568 Presidents Group, which was named for Section 568 of a Clinton-Era Law, the Improving America's School Act of 1994. The ostensible purpose of that Act was to promote diversity and was one of the cornerstones and is one of the cornerstones of the Leftist/Corporate takeovers of Academia.

   Section 568 of the law grew out of an Antitrust Act enforcement begun late in the Reagan Administration---the last presidential administration to take on corruption in Academia. At that time, 57 schools were charged with price-fixing tuition and  financial aid thresholds to suppress competition in enrollment. The new act codified the settlement of the Antitrust Case making it illegal for two or more institutions to award financial aid solely on the basis of need; employ the same standards for determining need; use a common application form; and engage in data-sharing of admissions standards. As is typical of Postmodern Academia, the institutional leadership soon figured out a system for circumventing the law; outsourcing criteria to an 'independent' front-company which they actually controlled. 

    

    Well, scratch a modern academic and usually you find a crook. Imagining that today's Academia will police itself is like turning a city police department over to an organized crime syndicate. The $13.5 million that Chicago was obliged to shell out is, of course, a pittance to the bloated budgets that these enterprises maintain; but if there's one thing that hurts a school administrator's ego worse than anything is being told that they are wrong---and it's worse when it costs them money in any amount. 

    The 'elite' colleges named are: Brown University; Cal Tech; University of Chicago; Columbia University; Cornell; Dartmouth; Duke University; Emory; Georgetown University; MIT; Northwestern; Notre Dame; University of Pennsylvania; Rice; Vanderbilt; and Yale. All of them have significant ties to the US Deep State and are funded in varying degrees by the notorious woke Great Reset front-group, Open Philanthropy. 

   "The lawsuit claimed that these schools had participated in an alleged “price-fixing cartel,” aimed at diminishing competition in the realm of financial aid. This alleged cartel was accused of artificially inflating the net cost of attendance for financially aided students, while favoring wealthier applicants." This is really the most important point that came out of this case. The whole impetus behind lowering the standards to accommodate all of these phony 'diversity' and 'inclusion' programs was a complete scam: it was about lowering standards so that more of the so-called 'elites' had access to them. The result of the whole scam was to marginalize Middle Class non-minorities. The power-base was made more secure by these programs, not less. 

   Unfortunately, when Whacko Left Wing activists get exposed as dupes and chumps they tend to double-down instead of wising-up. They protest and scream even harder for the same policies which entrench the established Class and discriminate against themselves. This is the whole secret behind why the Great Reset Oligarchs all favor 'woke' policies. In private, they laugh in their sleeves over this faux-progressive nonsense; but they promote it because it creates a massive pool of useful idiots (who never learn from their mistakes) for them to draw upon whenever they feel the need to pretend that they have popular support. 

  Much like the recent Court decisions on abortion and affirmative-action, this decision is a minor nuisance to the Oligarchs and won't change their behavior to any significant degree. But to those who actually take notice of the depths of the Swamp, it's a further indication of how pervasive corruption our Culture really is, and the degree to which moneyed interests pull the strings. 

     

THE TRUMP INDICTMENT: WE SHOULD SAY WHAT?

      Well, the Whacko Left Wing is dancing with giddy excitement and the Right is clutching its collective bow-ties over the indictment of the President-in-Exile and various others targeted for the upcoming Great Purge. There's not much that we can say, because our enemies have already said it:

    One of the major problems that the American political Right seems to have is a complete inability to believe that the Deep Statists actually mean what they say. Their second greatest problem is believing it even after the Deep Statists start putting their plans into action. Even at this late date, it doesn't seem to have sunk into Conservatives' heads that 2020 was not an election year, but a Color Revolution. That year, we had de facto Martial Law; staged riots in all major cities; national monuments were destroyed; local police agencies were disbanded; and widespread censorship against anyone who questioned that the 'election' was anything but a coup was employed. Since that time, we've seen purges at all levels of government; changing of national symbols; increased militarization of domestic law enforcement; politically-motivated show trials. step-by-step adoption of Great Reset policies; and now, the jailing of political opponents. 

   I don't really know what to say, other than "I told you so," which isn't overly helpful but in hindsight was (or would have been) a lot more useful than listening to the paid pundits popping off about 'Red Waves' and other such nonsense. The next question which arises is "What do we do?" I don't know what to say about that either. I suppose that we could make a long list of what should have been done to have prevented us from getting to this point; or what we could do to solve our problems if we had the power to do it, but I'm afraid that our words don't carry a lot of weight against those of the stakeholders organizing a New World Order. 

   

   

DEATH AND DISTRACTION

      During the course of a day, I receive several news-feeds. It's mostly local news from various sources around the nation, but when an issue is big enough to make national news, that's reported too. The hot headline---beginning about the middle of last week until this morning concerned a Social Media influencer called Lil Tay. Her real name is Tay Tian and she's from Atlanta.

     I'm not exactly sure who Lil Tay influences: she's 14 years old and according to one article produces "profanity-laced music videos featuring her holding large sums of cash." I get the impression that she's sort of the female antipode to Andrew Tate: both are rather unattractive mediocrities who seem to appeal to the Inferiority Complexes of the young American underclass. "You too can be an Alpha Male or an It Girl---and these days of course one doesn't even need to born male or female!

   So, the news that's engrossed the nation---rivalling the Maui Wildfires in search engine hits---was that a report hit last week announcing that Lil Tay was dead. The next day, Lil Tay reported that her social media accounts had been hacked and that she was alive. This led to a furious online rage-fest between Lil Tay's adoring fans thankful that their goddess was yet among the living to give them further hope and inspiration; and some angry (and probably envious) trolls who insisted that the whole story was a cheap publicity stunt. Things got so heated that, on Sunday, Lord Zuckerberg descended from his Hawaiian throne to issue a Proclamation that Lil Tay's account had indeed been hacked; and that his loyal subjects needed to go back to giving 'likes' because his advertising base was starting to complain. 

    At this point, I'm certain that most readers are beginning to wonder why anybody with an IQ above Bevis and Butthead's should care about this story. We could always fall back on the standard Ameroboob reason: "Everyone else is talking about it!" There actually is a point to it, however. I wanted to juxtapose this 'news story' against one that has received next to no public attention released by the Biden/Harris Junta about the same time: 

    "Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows an alarming spike in deaths for the 0-24 age group. The CDC data reveals a sharp uptick of 44.8% in excess mortality in the 0-24 age range beginning in early 2021."

    These numbers don't even count the 35 States where Freedom of Choice can cover infanticide up to as late as the hour of birth in some jurisdictions. It also doesn't take into account our soaring rates of infant mortality. Suicides and narcotics overdoses account for a high percentage of the official numbers while many suspect that environmental toxins and side-effects of the Loyalty Vaxx are contributing factors. We've noted here before that even the Pentagon has stated that 4/5 of this age group are unfit for military service due to poor mental and physical health. We've also noted that the same age group has experienced significant increases in infertility. So, one should suppose that Lil Tay should count herself fortunate to have made it to 14, because a lot of others in Exceptional America do not. Worse still, it doesn't appear as if the general public much cares. 

    If these conditions were happening anyplace other than the US or its overseas satrapies, nobody would be hesitating to call this genocide. There's plenty of evidence to suggest that certain interests willfully have participated in what amounts to what a former War Crimes prosecutor and Dead White Male called "a nationwide, Government-organized system of cruelty and injustice in violation of every moral and legal principle known to all civilized nations." 

   Before the Rent-a-Skeptic crowd chimes in with the usual hooting over such a suggestion, consider that even if our leadership isn't following a conscious plan, they are certainly abetting it, because it is impossible that they are ignorant of it. The numbers we have been citing here are from the United States Government's own admissions. And to return to the Nuremberg prosecutor's statement above: "The principle of Criminal Law in every civilized nation holds in common that any person who sways another to commit murder; any person who furnishes the weapons to commit murder; any person who is an accessory to murder...is guilty."

   On top of this we have the further admissions of certain more powerful 'influencers'---the woke Corporatists---who claim that depopulation is a desirable social goal. Our effete and degenerated Society simply accepts these old ideas repackaged with new more sensitive and inclusive trappings. We don't have a dictatorship; we have 'managed democracy'. We don't commit genocide; we are enacting 'population control.' No one is planning concentration camps; we build back better with smart cities. We don't have propaganda or censorship; we have 'consensus' and 'deplatforming.' Indoctrination isn't a thing anymore; it's public education. We don't have Fascism; we have 'stakeholder capitalism.' We don't have a Master Race, we have 'strategic planners' and instead of a New Order we have a Great Reset.

   The Enlightened Despot of the Postmodern Age has learned that it's more efficient and cost-effective to buy allegiance than to enforce it. Ameroboobs define themselves as free because they are allowed to participate in elections where the outcomes give them favors but has no real effect upon policy. We can choose between 500 TV channels, 100 strains of legal marijuana, get free dope from the pharmacy, have no-fault divorce and legal abortions, the right to engage in homosexual acts---how dare anyone suggest that this isn't the freest and greatest country on God's Green Earth? 

  And, after all, since the Clinton Co-Presidency we've all learned that it takes a village to raise a child. So what if a large number don't survive infancy and the cruelty and psychological torture of their formative years? So what if they grow up into amoral and apathetic physical and emotional cripples? Blame society and vote for the other party: that'll fix things!

   It seems sad to contemplate that as recently as my grandparents' time, a war was fought to stop a genocide going on. Their own grandparents fought a war to end the inhumanity of chattel slavery. Many in my parents' generation protested the Vietnam War as a senseless waste of young lives. But today? We tolerate all those things with complete indifference. 

   

     

OH THIS IS BAD...

       The Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. was one of the first federal institutions established by our government after independence as a repository for all copyrighted works within the US.  The Founding Fathers put a high value upon literacy and learning, which they believed (correctly) was at the basis of a free society. During the War of 1812, on the order of King Charles' ancestor, the Library was burned by the British. The Library was rebuilt, and Thomas Jefferson donated his own extensive private library to the cause. 

     Monarchs and other dictators don't like independent thinking, however, and the modern Anglosphere has gone to extensive lengths to turn their respective populations into neurotics and ignoramuses who will better both tolerate and even defend the venality and stupidity of their leaders. A case in point was reported in the news today when the Library of Congress was forced to issue a public apology to some mediocre author for using "a non-preferred pronoun." 

     That would be depressing enough, but a recent poll conducted in Britain set the cultural bar at an entirely new low. We rarely issue 'trigger warnings' but readers are really going to have to brace themselves for this one. 

     "A survey conducted in the United Kingdom has shown that more than one-third of respondents did not know that transgender women were born biologically male...The poll, which comes from Scottish-based analysis group Murray Blackburn Mackenzie (MBM), showed that 35% of people sampled were of the belief that a transgender woman was someone who was born as a female, or did not know what the term meant." Not surprisingly, the poll showed that the Millennial and Gen Z ages---the demographics most supportive of the LGBTQ Agenda---were the least knowledgeable on the subject. 

    This study was conducted in Britain: one can only imagine what American numbers would look like. There are times when one doesn't even know what to say, or why even bother. I've written several articles on this subject explaining the science and philosophy behind why this lifestyle is dangerous to a society and how media propaganda and agenda-driven academics are behind it. Then you learn that a plurality of those fanatically defending 'trans rights' don't even know what a transsexual is. 

    What do polls like this prove? Simply that decades of absentee parenting, failed schools, and drug abuse have taken their inevitable toll. Can the situation be reversed? It doesn't look promising. As bad as most of us knew that it was, a poll like this shows that it's actually worse. It shows that a major percentage of our people can be stampeded---like cattle---to anywhere that the social engineers and enemies of Liberty care to send them. Under such conditions, appeals to faith or reason is more or less futile. 

    It also highlights the need that the rest of us have to concentrate on our own communities, build networks of like-minded people, and disengage ourselves from the so-called 'mainstream' as much as we can. A cattle stampede will trample whatever is in its way, or push it over the cliff ahead of them. We have to make sure that we don't share the same fate. 

   

   

    

    

    

THE POSTMODERN OPIATE OF THE PEOPLE

   We haven't been writing as much about Ukraine here as we did about the Russian Expedition to Syria a few years ago. The reason hasn't anything to do with anti-Russian cancel culture, which was just as bad in 2016 as it is now. As in Syria, we see the Russians accomplishing good things in Ukraine and standing up to the scourge of Western Neoliberalism. Now, as then, Russia is the last line of defense against the forces which would overthrow our common Civilization and heritage.

   The reason that we haven't written as much about Ukraine, to be honest, is that it's become too repetitive. The Western Corporate-Controlled Media is fomenting the very same lies from the very same front-groups hired by the very same financial interests for the very same reasons that they did about Syria in 2016. Russia has been "losing the war" now for 18 straight months---despite liberating four provinces (which joined the Russian Federation) and securing Crimea. Russia has been "running out material and men"---even though just yesterday the Beltway was fuming about Russian joint military maneuvers with China (5,000 miles away from the frontlines). Russia's economy is "on the verge of collapse"---though somehow Russia managed to airlift over 100 tons of humanitarian aid to earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria last February. And we're all still waiting for that vaunted Ukro counteroffensive which hasn't materialized anymore than the ISIS one was supposed to in 2016. So on, and so on: it's simply one lie on top another and we've heard them all before. 

     A specimen of this kind of disinformation came across the news-feeds the other day. This story has been blown all over the internet and been reported in a few MSM outlets, but it's completely typical.

    "Russian President Vladimir Putin has banned 5G towers in the Russian Federation amid concerns the technology is medically unsafe and has caused the deaths of school children near St. Petersburg...In mid-July, the Russian president met with many telecom executives and health experts to discuss the dangers inherent in the proliferation of 5G tech. He showed them images of dead children; one’s brain had liquified. He informed them he intended to enforce a moratorium on 5G research and demolish all towers in the Russian Federation.

   "His mandate wasn’t well-received by the Telecom executives. MTS Vice President of 5G Infrastructure Borya Vlasov said the absence of 5G would put Russia at a technological disadvantage, adding that Russia needed 5G to strengthen a once-thriving economy now faltering thanks to Putin’s actions in Ukraine. Putin spread images of the dead and sick children on a conference table, reportedly saying, 'What about them? What has your 5G done to them?'

   “'We can’t blame 5G for this. Our comrades in the West agree that 5G is safe,' Vlasov said. Putin ordered the security agent beside him to shoot Vlasov squarely between the eyes. Without hesitation, the agent drew his Makarov pistol and put a bullet in Vlasov’s forehead in full view of 15 people. A week later, the Engineer Troops of the Russian Federation began decommissioning 5G cellular towers in Moscow. As of this writing, Russia has eliminated all its 5G towers."

    In fact, Russia has been upgrading its telecommunication systems to 5G. When Wall Street ordered its government in Washington and its colonies to embargo Russia in 2022, Russia turned to China and India for technological assistance. There have been stories in both the Chinese and Indian Media confirming this. We've been unable to find any evidence that any such person as Borya Vlaslov ever existed, let alone worked for the Russian Government. 

   However, we have been able to trace the source of the story. It comes from a website called Real Raw News which is run by a middle-aged Incel living in Texas named Michael Tuffin. Tuffin posts under the alias 'Michael Baxter' and has a documented history of promoting Q-Anon and Alien Agenda baloney.

     Tuffin is so extreme that he was even banned from Gab---a notorious hotbed of Alt-Rino and White Supremacist crackpots. Besides reporting the ludicrous claims of Q Anon as factual news, Tuffin is also a big promoter of the Planet Nibiru Theory. 'Nibiru' was the name of a planet found on ancient Sumerian texts. It was actually the Sumerian name for Jupiter; but some nonetheless concluded that it was really another planet in our solar system that astronomers won't tell us about. It's much like Owen Benjamin's theories about Tartaria, which he based upon the name appearing in mediaeval maps (the same maps which showed Dark Africa because it was believed by the settled science then that the Sun couldn't shine at the Equator). Such is the MSM's desperation to find any anti-Russian smears that will stick---even from sources like this. Meanwhile, they have the shameless gall enough to label Russian news as 'propaganda' and ban it wherever they can.

    The same is true of these "on-the-ground" sources in Ukraine. They are evocative of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights which practically was the entire news source for the MSM during the Syrian Civil War. Based in London, financed by a Soros-backed organization, SOHR was headed by a former Syrian Army officer who had escaped from jail after being convicted of embezzlement and espionage. His information came from the Al-Qaeda Syrian Front, which discreetly changed its name to Al-Nusra to gain Western gullibility credibility. These yo-yos reporting from Ukraine are of the same stripe: neo-nazis, former ISIS and Al-Qaeda mercenaries, Soros-backed Deep State operatives: that's all that is really left of the Ukrainian Military---most of whom surrendered or defected to Russia a long time ago. 

   President Trump was correct when he called our Media "a national disgrace" because that's what it really is. If the American public still had a capacity for feeling shame or enough dignity left to resent the lies peddled to them on a regular basis, they would demand much-needed Media reform. But that's not likely to happen since Big Pharma, Big Ag, and High Finance control most of the Media's revenues; and they sell enough drugs, adulterated foods, and wield enough financial power to keep the populace drugged-up, dumbed-down, and complaint. 

   

    

   
     

      

ON BEING A COMMIE PINKO

      So, this week---to the surprise of no one other than to the GOP political establishment---President-in-Exile Trump was indicted for something by one of the various kangaroo courts convened for that purpose. Reaction (if one can call it that) from our side was predictable: "Gee! Our Courts are corrupt and politically motivated! Who knew?" And, "But the Democrats do it too!" Our culture turned into one big LARP during the Scamdemic, and our so-called political system became Reality TV a long time ago: why shouldn't our elections be Courtroom dramas too? Ratings would be probably go up if they started featuring all of the various indictments and impeachments between sensational murder trials. 

     To the shame of MSM pundits on both sides, the Chinese Media again gave us probably the most reasoned analysis of the situation. Chinese analysts noted that "The odd phenomenon also reflected strong public discontent with and distrust in US politics and the legal system in American society. Many people believe injustice and abuse of law are so prevalent that it can happen in presidential elections and the trial of a former president...Such a widespread perception resulted from the US' politicization of laws and instrumentalizing of laws for politics."

    "Li Haidong, a professor at the China Foreign Affairs University, told the Global Times on Friday that the cases will develop in accordance with the US' political agenda. Whether Trump had engaged in misconduct or not is no longer the core of the issue, as Trump has described the legal cases against him as a political witch-hunt to draw stronger support from voters. If he wins the election, that will give him a great advantage in court, and even if he is convicted, that would not affect the election much, according to Li."

    Furthermore:

    "Lü Xiang, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, who described the US' electoral democracy as entering an accelerated track of decadence."

    While Americans like looking down their noses at the Chinese Media (claiming that it's 'controlled', as if ours isn't); the question here is glaring. Exactly what did the editorial state that isn't the truth? Unlike the American Press, the Chinese aren't obligated to portray our Legal Establishment as though it was actually based on traditions of Anglo-Saxon Justice. If our own media was anything other than a commercial enterprise based on selling headlines and spouting propaganda, they'd ask the same questions and make the same observations. 

   Which leads to another point: certain people on various parts of the Internet are offended and outraged that sites like ours actually say positive things about China and North Korea sometimes. Critics on the Whacko Left have long since written us off as Right-Wing extremists, but since 2020 or so, there's been a growing chorus from the Right to the effect that we're promoting Communist interests---which of course, by their definition, is disagreeing with the Republican Establishment on more than one or two issues. 

      Generally we don't spend a lot of time here replying to critics, but being called out as Commie Pinko all the time does get tedious. There is a reason however why we should pay attention to what these various People's Republics are doing---and achieving. 

     At the end of WW2, cordial relationships between the US and USSR came to an end. Josef Stalin---ever the proponent of Realpolitik---came to oppose the US, but he maintained a cautious respect for us. Stalin saw what we were capable of doing in WW2 and how we rallied to fight Communist forces to a stalemate in Korea after what looked like certain defeat. Fighting WW3 with us wasn't even in Stalin's calculations except as a last resort---he prefered Cold War intrigues and schemes to weaken us from within. Khrushchev didn't learn anything from this: first his 'reforms' broke up international Communist solidarity; then he foolish challenged us to a Space Race and an Arms Race: the USSR lost both, space in the 1960s and arms in the 1980s. 

     What the American people have lost since the 1980s though has been the spirit that defeated Communism. We answered every challenge with a commitment to do better. When the USSR improved its post-WW2 infrastructure, we responded with an Interstate Highway System. When their propagandists spoke of inequality, we responded with integration and Civil Rights laws. When they suppressed revolts in East Germany, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia, we strengthened our laws to permit more liberty of speech and reformed allegations of police and prison brutality here. When the Soviets launched Sputnik, we expanded NASA and funded more science in schools. President Kennedy initiated things like Physical Fitness and Civics into the public schools to counter charges of public decadence. We were challenged to do better and we did it. 

    It didn't make people of our parents' and grandparents' a bunch of Commie sympathizers to point out where we were deficient; evidently it does today. But it doesn't change certain facts. If we look at the differences between Communist countries and the United States today, the marco-differences like civil liberties and freedoms are becoming less and less distinguishable. Observe the persecution of Trump and similar ridiculous farces: can we really criticize China and North Korea for their treatment of political dissidents?

   Other differences like quality of life, we're actually falling behind. Face facts. Their schools educate the young; ours don't. Their streets aren't packed with bums and criminals; ours are. Their rulers aren't destroying farmland and forcing synthetic and unsafe foods upon us; ours are doing that. They're building and upgrading infrastructure: ours has had no significant upgrades in 40 years. Currently, our poverty and unemployment, incarceration, and illiteracy rates are higher than most Communist countries. We have far higher rates of overdoses and suicides.

   A recent Pentagon study showed that 80% of 17-24 year-olds in the US are disqualified for military service because of drugs, obesity, criminal history, and mental illness. That's not counting the LGBTQ perverts they already accept but who are actually unfit. We've documented the statistics here many times. That same demographic has considerable issues with infertility and gender dysphoria. Only a little over half have grown up in a traditional family, and 2/3 of men under 30 are not even contemplating marriage. 

   The point is, that if we're going to criticize the Communists, we'd better start proving that we have something better to offer; and right now it's hard to argue that we have.
