    —“An woman has confessed to killing her own children and setting fire to them, after claiming she could no longer support them.

    Divorcee Elena Karimova, who has 21,000 subscribers for her online cosmetic sales business, is being investigated for strangling her daughter, Khadizha, four, and son Suleiman, two, in the back seat of her rented Kia Rio.

    The Russian woman – who had fallen behind with loan repayments after being divorced by her husband – then bought fuel from a petrol station, drove the bodies to a forest and set fire to her dead children.

    Fearing she would be spotted by locals, the 27-year-old put the charred bodies back in her car and returned home.

    The next day she put the corpses in an abandoned warehouse near Nizhny Novgorod in western Russia and set fire to it.”—

    You know. I just can’t get my head around it. I just can’t. You know, I can understand walking away. I just can’t understand killing your kin and setting them on fire.

    I ‘fking love marines.

    In the airport. NYC. In the baggage line.

    Moron roughing my bags.

    Me: “Who taught you your job solider!”

    The boss. A black man comes up. Looks at me. Thinks a moment. Straight faced. Serious. Not too loudly…

    “Fucking marines. You gotta be a marine. Always bossing people around.”

    I said “A soldier is a soldier and a slacker is a slacker no matter what army we serve in!”

    Fucking entire line in all directions went dead silent, and he handed me my bag and said “Have a nice day sir.”

    “Have a good day soldier”.

    I’m not a marine. It’s just fucking genetic. lol

    Men need to talk to men as men.

    This talking to men like they’re fucking women is bullshit.

    AFRICA

    You see, I see african ‘humility’ as both a blessing and a curse. It is not that helpful, but humility is easier to transform into heroic optimism, than islamic overconfidence, and hindu overinvestment in ‘magic’.

    Islam is the greatest danger to africa for this reason.

    1) The USA proposed a ‘Third Way’ (meritocracy), but that “third way” is very hard for the underclasses, who want to restore the old. Fiat money, Scale, Wealth from selling off a conquered continent, inheritance of the british empire and german science, created windfalls …

    2) but those windfalls, the temporary lifting of the underclasses into middle class consumption post civil- and world-war because of them, created too much incentive for those against meritocracy – and they sought under marxism, and postmodernism to use US openness to destroy it.

    3) The uneducated speak in theology. The educated speak in morality, philosophy, and pseudoscience. But those with existential responsibility speak in history, economics, and incentives. If you cannot explain phenomena in economic terms you are just inventing fictions.

    (I might argue that Hindus are an exception having been conquered, repeatedly, and never ascending into the age of commerce and affluence. We can see the indus valley civilization did. But India seems to not have asciended and stagnated, and china was not able to enter the age of intellect and stagnated. This is very informative in and of itself. The difference being china could not be conquered until the 20th century and europeans had already given up those ambitions, and india was conquered by every single era of warfare technologists (despite producing the first quality steel). While I agree that the ancient myths are virtuous in cooperating submissively with one another, they are not virtuous in defense. The jews faced a similar problem – on first glance their religion appears beneficial, but upon study it has been catastrophic unless they have the warriors of a host people to defend them. This is my primary difficulty with Hindu civilization. It is incomprehensible to me at times, because, as a member of the aristocratic (military) caste(class) of my people, I cannot imagine the inability to defend, and the tolerance for external rule. And depending upon the mercy of rulers for success in rebellion. )
