Ghoul cries crocodile tears.

It’s because Vietnam and China are getting close (they had been close since the 90s, but Western cope thought that Vietnam would simultaneously forgive the US for spraying their country with Agent Orange while still holding a grudge against China for China invading Vietnam during the 70s). Vietnam recently had a massive 50-year anniversary of the liberation of Saigon where the PLA was invited to march through the streets with the US declining to attend because Burgerlanders are sore fucking losers.

Expect to see more “Vietnam condemns China for imperializing the South China Sea” articles.

Sachs’s explanation of a hair-brained scheme to infect bats with coronavirus in order to inoculate bats from more dangerous viruses which would protect US troops stationed in SEA somehow is orders of magnitudes stupider than the US developing coronavirus in Fort Derrick as a bioweapon, which means that’s probably what actually happened lol

A lot of times, the tut-tutting over adventurism comes off more as cowardice than any principled stance against adventurism as a strategy. There’s a very big difference between Stalin who robbed banks saying adventurism isn’t the way and a bunch of timid nerds in a book club saying adventurism isn’t the way.

Adventurist acts reflect well on the willingness and courage of the people performing them. Adventurists should be seen as brave but not particularly strategic or even smart individuals. But forced between brave and dim people vs smart cowards, the brave and dim people are vastly more useful. If nothing else, brave and dim people can be trained to become brave and smart people through study of theory, but how do you cultivate bravery among cowards?

When I lurked in Stormfront out of morbid curiosity way back in the day, 95% of the forum was Wehraboos vs Romaboos, people obsessing over nose sizes, and crying about Black people.

Your average Twitter Deus vult tradcath will shit themselves to death when they learn about Pope Leo’s maternal ancestry:

“I looked into some of the birth certificates, death certificates, census records,” Chicago-based genealogist Tony Burroughs said. “And sure enough, his ancestors were Black—listed as Black at some period.”

Burroughs, who has spent decades researching African American genealogies, said the findings are both fascinating and not uncommon. “I was able to go back to the 1850s, and they were listed as mulattos in 1850, 1860, 1870. Then when you get to 1880, they were listed as white. When you get to 1900, they were listed as Black, and then after that, they were listed as white,” he said.

“While the Pope’s mother was born in 1911 up in Chicago, her six older sisters and her parents were all very much from New Orleans,” Honora said. “Them and their ancestors were fairly consistently listed as colored or mulatto or Black in census documents and in vital records.”

Being a pedo (defender) just comes with the territory for the entire clergy.
