Javid posted:Forever laughing at everyone who thinks trump is stupid when he's the only person who seems to understand this sentiment Trump is stupid. He's intellectually incurious and probably poorly informed about most academic concepts. He does however understand people and unlike liberals, he actually believes things and is willing to make decisions entirely on vibes, spite, and intuition which is why he's popular but let's not conflate intellectual capability with being personable. It's easy to be decisive when the only criteria that ever goes into your decision making is "Do I like this?" and I think if we look back at what little success the left has had historically, it's all come from the same autocratic font. Not that I'm saying that's a bad thing necessarily--I personally have no trouble being led by a Fidel Castro relying his own judgment. For some strange reason, though, those strong, charismatic leaders on the left seem to live tragically short lives...

Trump is not book smart. And he's not street smart. But he's emotionally intelligent. And profoundly funny. Content: The moral panic American libs had when Italy elected its most fascistic leader since Mussolini lasting only one news cycle after it became clear she'd be subservient to US geopolitical interests and strategy.

the brother of the US-puppet South Vietnamese dictator Diem became a schismatic tradcath lunatic who believed the mainstream Catholic Church was becoming too leftist, and ended up getting excommunicated and basically becoming an antipope. He was a major influence on the modern tradcath movement and theres a bunch of Catholic splinter groups that trace their apostolic succession through him to this day He supposedly reconciled with the Church on his deathbed, but there is a persistent conspiracy theory that he was kidnapped by Vatican agents and forced to acknowledge the authority of the Pope under duress

There's an old internet yarn - it mighta been from SA, who knows - about a dude who logged into counterstrike, saw that everyone on team T had changed their name to bin laden and kept talking about destroying the WTC, so he started doing the same thing, and didn't turn on the TV or talk to anyone or find out about 9/11 until like the evening

"[Y]up, most folks read that poem as a caution against big egos and the impermanence of power," the website's "about" page explains with a complete lack of self-awareness. "We read it differently. To us, the poem says think big, but be humble, lest you end up 'two vast and trunkless legs in the desert.'"
