Sorry for the AI slop, haha, but it's actually pretty accurate. If I’ve missed any (must read) books, please let me know. As you know, the problem with Belloc is that it’s virtually impossible to read everything he wrote. Over his lifetime, he produced 153 books, at least 256 distinct essays, and countless newspaper and magazine articles. He was built different.

I have never paid much attention to German politics, but now that I have, it's even worse than I imagined. Even the so-called far-right hardliners are laughably soft. At this point, I might have to run for office myself just to put an end to all this gayness.

Muslims slaughtered a 20 year old Coptic Christian for refusing to denounce Christ. In other words, water is wet and the sky is blue.

You have to be White to be English.

When I criticized Harmeet Dhillon for her demon worship onstage and praying to Waheguru, "the one true God," I got lots of softies in my comments telling me she's done great things for America Well, that may be true, but this is still demon worshipping, and I'm against any religion that rejects Christ

Bukele is destroying gang headquarters and you are blackpilling?

There are basically two camps in the AfD right now: Weidel, who supports remigration, and Chrupalla/Krah, who think it's "too harsh" and could divide the country The party is polling at around 30% because of its unapologetic stance on remigration Now the soft wing is pushing back against it First Meloni, then LePen, and now the AfD...

I have never been to England and im more British than you.

This is an invasion and must be dealt with accordingly.

Barbecue, a gang leader known for cannibalism, says violence isn't the answer, haha, they are shitting their pants Keep going, Mr. Bukele!

I'm unapologetically Roman Catholic, but Pope Leo's comments make me wonder if he's ever opened a history book. In 846, Muslim raiders from North Africa attacked Rome and looted the basilicas of Old St. Peter's Basilica and Basilica of Saint Paul. Then they desecrated the grave of St. Peter and St. Paul! As a result, Pope Leo IV ordered the construction of a wall around the Vatican. We cannot coexist with these people because they are commanded to slaughter us all. And no, they are not "a blessing". Pretty much every Pope before Leo - with Francis being the obvious exception - would’ve been calling for a Crusade over what’s happening across Europe right now. Popes used to be based, God-fearing heroes who didn’t shy away from fighting our civilizational enemies.

We either get Remigration, or we won't have a country in 10 years. It's going to get tough, and women will be sad, but we have to do what's necessary in order to survive.

This castle has been owned and occupied by the same family for 33 generations over 800 years.

In 1910, in the speech “Citizenship in a Republic,” Roosevelt says credit belongs to the man who acts, even if he fails, rather than to those who only criticize from the side: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
