Fred Reed suggests some reforms that could be made to the US public education system, such as ensuring that teachers can read at the tenth-grade level and do arithmetic at the eighth-grade level — as research has shown that many can't. https://counter-currents.com/2023/10/on-the-probable-salutary-effects-of-a-more-proactive-approach-to-schooling/

Good reminder that the media is full of lies, and that "social media" is even WORSE than old media.

The dumbing-down effect is incredible.

COVID was bad. Really bad.

The Russian war is even worse. (The MAGA/Q-anon clowns don't even get the chronology REMOTELY right.)

I'm not sure it CAN get worse than disinformation related to the Russo-Ukrainian War, but we'll see where the current Hamas-Israel conflict goes...

When truth goes away, the masses DON'T become skeptical. Quite the contrary - they start believing in ANYTHING.

"Troofers" are more gullible than "sheeple".

(That's not to say BIG MEDIA is trustworthy. But they lie in a completely different way.)

James J. O'Meara concludes his review of Mitch Horowitz's Daydream Believer, discussing all the scientific evidence for parapsychological phenomena that has been amassed but which continues to be conveniently ignored by the establishment. https://counter-currents.com/2023/10/taking-superman-seriously-mitch-horowitz-and-muscular-new-thought-part-2/

Jordan Peterson is a man buckbroken by his own character flaws. His lust for adulation, prestige, wealth, acceptance, authority... unharnessed by any identity to which they could be devoted, these traits instead transformed him into a willing tool of the powerful, making mincemeat of his integrity and a slave of his mind. Now a drug-addled zombie stumbling around the ruins of what he could have achieved, he is a perfect example of what every man should want never to become: a slave who lies on command, wishing most desperately that he could lie to himself.

Greg Johnson's "Palestinians and Jews, Again," where he takes his own side in the current conflict, is now in Swedish.

Tucker Carlson says mass immigration is "fueled by anti-white racial hostility" - the concept has now been completely normalised by the conservative media establishment.

Glad to see his rhetoric improve on this, he also took a pretty solid America First stance on the Israel/Palestine thing the other day which pissed off Ben Shapiro. Carlson has been infuriatingly cucked and subversive of late in his framing of the big issues, the past few days however appear to be a return to form.

I do not trust Tucker at all, he has explicitly attacked White Identity Politics for being a "Nazi idea" before. But maybe his declining relevance after being jettisoned from Fox and the initial wave of interest in his twitter show dying off has provoked him to return to the watered down dissident right hot take playbook that made him the superstar of conservative media during the Trump Administration.

The information war happening in real time is something truly incredible to behold. Nobody actually cares about the facts on the ground and no amount of evidence can budge either side.

I don’t even think this is a bad thing. It just proves people are in going to be in their camps (no pun) no matter what. It makes a better case for separation/nationalism than 6 trillion podcasts,essays & tweets.

As you know, this channel is AmNat centric & disavows current things but there’s a very compelling case to be made for tactically signal boosting the pro-Palestine camp in this current infowar. If the pro-Israel narrative can be shattered in real time, that would make for an epic W against the regime and prove that this sphere can not only punch but KTFO above its weight.

Seeing CNN randomly ask DeSantis about Fuentes’ commentary & watching Shapiro utterly chimp the fuck out on White people in general has already made for a serviceable enough W for this past week. Not to mention jews being beside themselves over BLM & Harvard Students doing pro-Palestine demonstrations.

Ultimately I can’t bring myself to actually care about this, but for tactical reasons I think signal boosting the pro-Palestine propaganda and counter-signaling (especially to naïve conservatives) pro-Israel propaganda, is the way to go.

Breaking through the Zionist narrative to where the standard American opinion is something like “Israel can take care of itself” rather than “Israel is our greatest ally”, will be a seismic shift on par with how Blumpft changed the entire GOP base from pro-Iraq War to anti practically overnight.

Since neither side actually cares about or can be swayed by the facts or any evidence, it will come down to who is loudest & most aggressive in this infowar. I say if you have an X account, use it.
