Okay so what is the solution? I have a lot of ideas for a fix, but here is one: make the voting age much higher. There is a reason so-called revolutionaries always target the youth. They are easy to manipulate. There is a point where you have to say IQ is not the only piece of the puzzle and very intelligent people can be manipulated by people with machiavellian traits. I think postponing voting and certain decision making to an older age is one way to fix the “moronic scum” problem.

If the population wasn't completely moronic, as it wasn't in early America, then the early American system should be used to determine the electorate. Basically only men who own their home and have no debt should be allowed to vote. This would limit the vote to responsible men.

But today the population is entirely moronic scum, so there is no political solution. The practical solution is to leave.

I dont really think Americans are moronic (some of them are certainly). They just let the wrong people get control of their culture. The solution is cultural.

I was thinking today that America produced more of real value in any week between 1950 and 2000 than it did in the entire decade of 2010 to 2020. The cause is both cultural and genetic. But whatever the cause, the decay seems irreversible. Why would any sane person want to remain with such degenerates?

Because I love my people and I love my country. I know that most of my people are not degenerates. That most of the ones that are can be fixed, at least the next generation of them can.

I view it as a cultural problem. Some people may never be able to fit in to a more high functioning culture. Nice countries have nice things because they have high standards: a strict rule set that doesn’t allow people to fuck around all day. Everyone wont be up for that. We dont need to include those people.

The people that built this country are still here. Can you imagine people who have been here for generations making things work, from wilderness? We should cut and run because the bolsheviks waylay another country? These things come and go. They will eventually let go and move on to their next blood meal. Maybe this is the end of “America” or “europe” but I take a wait and see approach. I understand the problem and I know the solution is to make more people understand the problem, because the solution is within ourselves. Im not even close to running. The problem is cultural.

The music from 2000-2010 was overall really disappointing. I'd say that's one thing 2010+ has going for it, there has been a lot of solid music produced. As an example, scanning the 2000s top billboard singles, in 2005 there's just Gwen Stefani's Hollerback Girl as a bright point, which is a fun song if not particularly inspired. There's a number of marginally better songs that year, including Gold Digger, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Mr. Brightside... Actually 2005 gets a pass. It's not great but it's sandwiched inbetween some real garbage.

The music if nothing else, besides one decade.

And it's no accident either that happened. That was deliberate by the music industry. I think they were using bad metrics or something to valuate songs. It's why Nickelback got so big even though people didn't really like them all that much.

What is an example of good music since 2010? By the way, I made a related thread here.
