[Snip]

This is so, so sad because it’s true. What a horrible disaster the 20th Century ended up being for WASP/WASC culture:

The “Greatest Generation” allowed their “Baby Boomer” spawn to f**k it all up. Mommy & Daddy let the kiddies s**t on the rug without any consequences...

...and now we have what we have today.

RE Disaster:

When one refuses to aggressively defend one’s own culture, heritage, traditions, and society...

... when one allows their children to be taught to hate their own people...

... when one accpets asically aborting themselves as a paople into a minority, while others who understand the Numbers Game keep reproducing...

... when one elects morons who are unwilling or too frightened to do their duty and protect the nation, and who actively collaborate with those with malicious intent...

Well, then one shouldn’t be surprised when we get overrun, undermined, and overwhelmed by savages and their allies within the walls.

History proves it, over and over again.

The good news is we are winning, and the evil SOB’s are starting to lose, and lose big.

Happy BDay!!!

The Leftist slobs don’t know what it’s like to get hit back. They’ve been allowed to skate because the beta he-bitches and cat/church ladies don’t recognize the danger/are abetting SJWs.

They’re concerns are “Who’s hosting ‘The Price Is Right’?” and “When does Golden Corral open?”

Now, it’s a different crew that strikes back. Lord Willing, the Leftists are gonna learn that the hard way...
