Thread of threads on anti-white discriminatory hiring, with special focus on Canada, put together so I can pin it because I search for it often

We all know what this copypasta means on Canadian job postings. The brain-fucking part isn't really the discrimination, it's the Celebration Parallax: it's not happening (you crazy), and it's Good that it is

How about the middle ground of: it's all figures from 20-30 years ago and is about as relevant as Dennis Hastert

Not remotely compelling. Les Wexner, Bill Gates, Prince Andrews and Jean-Luc Brunel aren't media psyops. Gislane's Mossad pedigree isn't a meme. FBI intervened in Florida in 2006. He won a $30m lotto in Oklahoma, brokered deals for the Rothschilds and got assassinated in prison.

The only dummymander that really hit was NC (and TN and OH a bit, thought OH wasn't a very extreme gerrymander in the first place). Otherwise, a dozen or so districts are going into 2028 as +8 to +12 R (from 2024) that weren't before, mostly in FL and TX

The most insane thing is that the redraws (outside of FL/LA) were an incredible mistake and Newsom may actually have done us a favor with his new map. Same thing goes for Missouri/Utah too.

So Vance is going to run against Brown for senate in 2028, right? Then wait till 2032 I suppose

This is a recurring Vance thing, but very notable his first reaction is not calibrated towards voters but to the avatars in his feed having wonky intra-right debates

Understand that the Murdoch media machine is currently beaming this talking point directly to every Boomercon's brain right now. Incredibly grim times are coming for the right

This might cost me in more ways than one, but: Epstein is fake. The whole memeplex around it is fake. It is the closest thing to the Ring of Power that exists in politics. Both sides have wielded this ephemeral boogeyman against the other, and it’s always a disaster because once you obtain power you get to see the files and you realize there’s nothing there, which means you have no meat to feed the rabid dogs you rallied to your cause, and they eat you instead. It’s a mass hysteria akin to witch panics, but on an information-age scale. I guess what I’m saying is Michael Tracey is Frodo.

How much of it is a sense of "doing others' bidding" - Iran and Israel, big tech and AI - instead of specific complaints about Alina Habba or Kimberley Guilfoyle or wtv

I think it’s surprising because it’s kind of not real. To voters, “corruption” is primarily an economically illiterate articulation of economic dissatisfaction. Greed, price-fixing, self-dealing. There’s actual corruption, but ppl generally don’t know - tho the vague sense hurts.

The war became the identifier of a phenomenon that was already building. Absent the war, it still probably happens to some magnitude. But giving those feelings such an easy avatar made things worse.

the american electorate is so funny man, the only time they take a break from watching ai generated reelslop of pixar people with fruit heads cheating on each other is to go and vote against data centers.

On Election Day, 44 various data center moratoriums were on the ballot across America. 43 passed.

Incredible contrast to Thune, who refused to do national voter ID while North Carolina simultaneously went 60-40 for both ID and a Dem senator

Honorable. Mike Johnson worked hard to get Trump’s agenda passed, with a really narrow majority. He deserves respect.

This winning while electing dems to office (and we’re not the only state where things like this happened) corroborate Vance’s statement that the Republican base defected. That’s not good, but it does mean they can be won back.

Probably the closest recent Dem experience to last night was 2022 NY gubernatorial. So did Hochul respond by significantly moderating and taking on R positions?

How did Illinois dems react to an R governor and senator in mid-late Obama era?
