Cities are great for industry. High local population means comparatively cheap wages or at least pressure for lower wages, public infrastructure means you don’t need to create a company town, centralized power means fewer politicians to bribe, and so on. You CAN put a tire plant out on a river somewhere, but the best engineers and the largest labor pool is going to be available nearby a major metro. Which by the nature of the way humans create metropolises will possess the infrastructure you want. Cities are a great facet of industrial and technical civilization. Just not in America.

AJ (of “The Smoke Pit”) gives his thoughts on the recent video of a savage knife fight between two Russian and Ukrainian soldiers.

No degree of technological development or scientific calculation will diminish the human dimension in war. Any doctrine which attempts to reduce warfare to ratios of forces, weapons, and equipment neglects the impact of the human will on the conduct of war and is therefore inherently flawed.⁣

Reposted with permission from npmusa.substack.com For too long, the American people have been ignored, dismissed, and betrayed by the very leaders sworn to serve them. The social and political elites who dominate Washington, Wall Street, and the corporate boardrooms have systematically sold out the interests of our nation for their personal gain. While they thrive…

Replacing your Lada in the late Soviet Union was impossible, but nobody really had a Lada anyway, and if you reliably had one you’d easily get another. Replacing the shitbox creates pressure. At least in the Soviet Union, healthcare was in theory free, albeit at the expense of having an economy that couldn’t produce toilet paper. In the US, we have similar dilemmas, toilet paper and wakandan kweens at the expense of an economy that can’t win a war. Why’d somebody cap a CEO presumably over insurance claims? The weird economic circumstances I described.

There is a specter haunting the children’s sections of libraries and bookstores. I encountered it twice in the past week, first while trying to find a book on a recent political campaign, and then while I was visiting the library with my child. From my casual observation it appears that the shelves have been inundated with political biographies dressed up as children’s books.

Back in the heady days of 2015 and 2016, Donald Trump was still an unknown phenomenon. The same qualities that allowed the Dissident Right to project its wildest fantasies onto Trump also resulted in him being a cipher for Democrats to imagine whatever horrible policies they feared onto the man – such as hysterical handwringing of the Handmaid’s Tale LARP of America turning into a theocratic patriarchal dystopia. Anyone with sense would have pointed to Trump’s background and character as wholly precluding such an outcome. Even Trump’s most fervent Evangelical supporters didn’t dare wish for what liberals grasped at as a nightmare-cum-sexual fantasy.

With dissident movements, ranging from peaceful protests to outright guerilla warfare, success has often hinged on the support of an outside actor. With this recent history in mind, it is tempting for American dissidents to hope for outside sponsorship of their struggle for self-determination and justice against the Washington regime. Unfortunately for Amerikaners, it is not only the United States, but also its chief rivals, who have constructed their ruling ideology around the same principles which are strangling the heritage population of the United States.
