Poppies, A Trillion Dollars,

Nick Fuentes

It's been a stupid couple of weeks.

The snowball of stupidity has gotten so big in the past few weeks I just can't ignore it. I need to address it, I need to write about it, I need to get these things off my chest.

Let's go.

Poppies And Remembrance Day

Atlantic Canadians aren't as dumb as we might like to think. As Remembrance Day approaches, with it comes controversy over judges and public servants wearing poppies—because, remembering people who died fighting Hitler is a political statement? It turns out, many Atlantic Canadians are mad about being told they shouldn't wear a poppy.

Tim Houston, Nova Scotia's Progressive Conservative premier, defended the exhibition of poppies, adding some much needed sanity to an absolutely insane and moronic situation.

A lot of people, even conservatives, have taken issue with Remembrance Day for various reasons. However, no one has taken it as far to the outskirts of the fringes as our typical leftoid imbeciles. To them, Remembrance Day is a glorification of war and some sort of hardcore, neocon expression of bloodlust.

The reason leftoids feel this way is because they're stupid. They don't do research, they don't think deeply, and they're easily swayed by idiotic ideas on the internet. That's why they vote Liberal and NDP and continue incorrectly believing that conservatives hate women and gays just for fun. Like these myths, they believe that wearing a poppy and remembering soldiers who died fighting fascists is a political statement and glorification of war.

Remembrance Day is the exact opposite of those things.

Standing in silence to honour people who died so we could freely express our dumb, woke ideas is not a glorification of war—it's a condemnation of it and a condemnation of the same kind of authoritarianism that's now creeping up in our modern society. Had Hitler won, none of these woke leftoids would be around. Had he successfully conquered most of Europe, the global order would look much different today.

Wearing a poppy isn't a political statement, it's a moral one.

Of course, leftoids don't have morality, let alone any intellect, so we shouldn't be surprised that they're trying to dismantle yet another sacred idea within a civilized, free society. Just like tearing down statues and “decolonization”, shaming people for wearing poppies is another means of destroying Western civilization.

Don't fall for it.

Elon Musk's Trillion Dollar Payout

Unlike the rest of us, Elon Musk is trying to help humanity ascend with Neuralink, SpaceX, Tesla, and the Boring Company. Although he's emotionally retarded and sanctimonious, he is at least doing things that matter for humanity. Whether he actually succeeds at anything is yet to be seen, but he is doing more than any of us.

I have my opinions about Musk and was going to publish them, but I took a step back and realized that if he succeeds at even one of those things, the future would benefit more from his efforts than from my meaningless, useless opinion. As I sit here and write this, what the fuck am I really accomplishing?

This is the kind of self awareness his critics often lack.

Elon Musk might build Africa a desalination plant, or two. He might try to cure hunger by funneling the money into massive, real world projects. The guy lives in a mini manufactured cubicle and owns next to nothing, so I doubt he'll spend much on himself.

The typical idiots who think his trillion dollars should be distributed around to “feed the world” don't know what they're talking about. That would be a horrible investment. It's as useless as buying a homeless man a cheeseburger. It feels good and seems like a nice gesture, but that cheeseburger isn't going to lift him out of poverty. Truly helping homeless people doesn't involve throwing money at them, it involves big thinking—something Musk's critics aren't good at.

Inside Elon Musk's bank account is exactly where that money belongs.

Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Canadian Conservatives

Watching Canadian conservatives pile onto the same bandwagon has caused me to mute, ignore, and lose respect for some of them. I have spent years listening to and respecting certain conservatives in Canada—but the fallout from Tucker Carlson's interview with Nick Fuentes has exposed them for who they really are.

I'm not going to name them, but I will mention Candice Malcolm. She has been the only one to survive and remain on my list of rational, smart conservatives that I will continue to follow.

Say what you will about Nick Fuentes, but he has a right to speak and people have a right to talk to him. Tucker Carlson had every right to conduct his interview in his own way. The very same people who have complained about other conservatives being deplatformed jumped on the Ben Shapiro bandwagon to attack Tucker for giving Nick a platform. Conservatives who have pretended to care about free speech and open dialogue suddenly began doing backflips to convince their supporters that Tucker Carlson must now be cancelled.

At the heart of all the backlash is Israel.

I watched Tucker's entire interview with Fuentes and came away believing that Fuentes is a shy, young kid with an axe to grind. If there was any doubt that his stories about Ben Shapiro's efforts to have him cancelled were true, Ben Shapiro made sure to prove him right by immediately attempting to cancel Tucker Carlson for giving him a platform.

So, now we know that Ben Shapiro tried to shame, cancel, and silence a young Republican for questioning America's unwavering and almost cult-like support for Israel. To anyone who watched the interview, it's clear that Ben Shapiro's efforts helped put Nick Fuentes on his current path. In many ways, Fuentes is a product of Ben Shapiro.

If anyone is going to convince a young anti-semite that his views are completely wrong, it's probably not going to be a bunch of Zionists with a penchant for shaming, cancelling, humiliating, and silencing anyone who asks questions about Israel.

To be clear, Nick Fuentes is wrong about a lot of things. He has said some openly racist things, even in context. When I first tried to give him a chance, I found a clip of him praising Hitler and saying things about Judaism and white people that were blatantly false. Thinking these things must have more context and couldn't possibly mean what they appear to mean, I did some research and went to the source. That source disappointed me. Nick Fuentes does, in fact, appear to mean most of those things.

When Alex Jones was taken to court, his lawyers tried to argue that his entire persona was a ruse and meant to be satirical. No one bought that argument. Whether Nick Fuentes is putting on an act is unknown, but the people who follow him and share his clips are clearly agreeing with him. Unless he explicity admits to being a troll and deliberately saying things he doesn't mean, I will continue to take him for his word and reject most of his idiotic ideas.

With that said, like most provocateurs, Nick Fuentes makes some good points.

I'm not going to feel bad for saying that. Not everything someone says is wrong just because we don't like them. If we fall into the trap of rejecting certain facts and relevant questions just because we don't like the source, we become the same leftoid imbeciles who reject real facts just because they came from Fox News.

The truth is never found easily. The truth is like a puzzle that needs to be assembled. Those who don't want us to know the truth will scatter around lies and misinformation to confuse us.

We won't ever find the whole truth if we silence those who hold pieces of it.
