These genocide merchants are selling the idea that there will be a utopia once we're gone. The saddest, most surreal part of it all is that White people are currently altruistic and empathetic enough to go along with it.

The Mar a Lago raid is a blunder for the establishment and a win for us no matter what the outcome. It increases polarization. It increases distrust for the establishment. If Trump is not disqualified from running, he will crush everyone in his path and get into the WH. This is the worst case scenario. The best case is that he is disqualified, becomes a martyr, and DeSantis or Tucker rides the wave of vengeance into the White House.

It's important to note that this man, Mohsin Hamid, married a fellow Pakistani and had kids with her, not with a woman of any other race, though he would have had plenty of opportunities. His message of "racial apocalypse" wherein "everyone becomes brown" is directed solely at white people. We should mix ourselves out of existence, but the man telling us to has no intention of doing the same to his own ethnic group.

But it's also important to note that he is a Third Culture Kid. Raised in both America and Pakistan in an upper-middle-class family with a father who was a professor at Stanford, he went to an international school in Pakistan before returning to America for an elite university experience at both Princeton and Harvard. He then worked at a global corporation in New York doing management consultancy. He now holds both Pakistani and British citizenship, yet lives partly in New York. He even describes himself as a "mongrel".

Yet for all that, his novels all seem to have main characters who are Pakistani, his Harvard PhD thesis was about Pakistan, and he married a Pakistani. I don't begrudge him this obvious connection to his homeland, but I deeply resent him trying to persuade my people to submit to racial destruction.

Many of us have been predicting for the last few years that the 2020s will be full of victims of the transgender cult waking up to what has been done to them and deciding to take revenge.

I'm only surprised it has started so soon.

What will be interesting is how this evolves. Will there be broader repercussions for the transgender cult, or will each of these individual cases be kept in isolation, so that the Guardian types will be saying: "yes, we have many individual cases of malfeasance, but it doesn't add up to some big picture of corruption or wickedness! What a terrible thing to say! Are you transphobic...?"

What we need is for this to pulverise the entire transgender cult. It should not be getting promoted in schools, on TV, in adverts, or anywhere.

These massive numbers of people who regret taking part in it should be seen as mass evidence that the thing itself is extremely dangerous and destructive.

The number of people who are genuinely transgender is as tiny as it has always been. Everyone else is an unwitting victim of this cult, which is an evil enterprise that should bring criminal charges upon its practitioners, disgrace upon its media promoters, and shame upon its useful idiot supporters.
