The way to destroy the Cult of the Operator is to have him hit the wrong targets, or completely destroy him in battle. He looks like a violent psychopathic bully if he kills women and children instead of the armed masked insurgent, and if he dies then it's a major shock and wake-up call that maybe the political situation that got him there was one that should have been resolved differently than through deployment of special forces.
This tactic worked well for Iraq during the Iraq War to portray Americans as baby-killers, the Vietnamese did so too. Hamas perfected it to destroy the myth of the IDF as an invincible and well-trained force and exposed it as a mediocre-at-best force backed by a bloodthirsty civilian population. Ukraine used it to destroy the myth of the mighty Russian army, particularly the ghastly defeat of the VDV in Hostomel during the first part of the 2022 invasion.
Modern bro-vets would shit their pants at a neer-peer conflict.

Something Iโve noticed with a vocal segment of Canadian Nationalists on Telegram is that they genuinely suffer from an identity crisis, ironically while criticizing American identity.
These specific Canadian Nationalists (not all Canadian Nationalists) seem to lean heavily on their British (or French) ancestry/identity while simultaneously asserting Canadian identity, which raises the question: are they British, French or Canadian? And what will they do with all the White Canadians that donโt have a British or French background? God forbid some Canadians have a German or Italian background! Are they going to be deported when the Nationalist seize power?
Whatโs the point of being a Canadian Nationalist if you primarily identify yourself as British? Wouldnโt that be British Nationalism? You have to pick one. And by the way, British identity itself is multi-ethnic, as in not a single ethnicity. Some of these Canadian Nationalists will try to disparage American identity as a โhodgepodgeโ of different European ethnicities, but it reveals that either know little about Canadian and British history or theyโre just being disingenuous.
Sure, the British Empire is a big part of the Canadian story, but itโs also a big part of the American story too. The difference is that American Nationalists just see themselves as American โ we have no need to identify with ancestral homelands and dead Empires, nor other Europe ethnicities to make sense of our own identity. American identity is its own thing, its existence is self evident enough that nothing more is needed.
Itโs fine to be proud of your ancestral roots, but identity is ultimately a single thing that exists in the present, not the past.

If you actually look into the history of English ethnic identity itself, it is a โhodgepodgeโ of separate medieval European ethnic groups. The French-admixed Normans, the Anglos, the Saxons, the Danes, the Norwegians, and before them the Romans and Celtic Brythonic peoples, and before that Porto-Europeans: Early European Farmers and Indo-Europeans. And thatโs just the English.
The English are multi-ethnic in origin but mono-racial.

I always see pictures of viral Twitter posts being shared on Telegram, and I always wonder if people on Twitter are sharing screenshots of Telegram posts.

Ukraine and Alaska โ russian never again!
On the eve of the visit of Trump and Putin, a large rally in support of Ukraine was held in Anchorage
"We are against inviting authoritarian dictators to our state, especially if it is not our governor or our representatives in Congress. Putin is a war criminal, and he has no place on American soil," โ said the head of the public organization Stand Up Alaska, Erin Jackson-Gill, who holds a rally under the slogan "Alaska Supports Ukraine"

Trump left that meeting looking like Putin just showed him photos of him from the Epstein Files.

The future was stolen from the younger generations before they were even born. It is up to us to organize and take it back.

Every time I see something about a horrific traffic accident involving a semi-trailer, the driver is usually Indian. Indians donโt care about traffic laws in their home country, and itโs quite evident that they donโt care when they drive in our countries.
Indians are making our roads unsafe. When I drive nowadays, I drive slower and avoid semi-trailers as much as humanly possible, because I know thereโs a good chance the semi-trailer driver is a third world brown person that doesnโt care about the safety of others.
