Canada, as it turns out, isn't broken. That was the message coming out of Pierre Poilievre's big rebrand rally, where he tried to reposition himself as a champion of Canada's virtues rather than just another critic of its failures. And while Liberal partisans will look skeptically on this attempted political metamorphosis, the biggest doubters might actually be some of his erstwhile fans: the freedom convoy.

Right out of the gate it clearly is a hit piece on Pierre.

Check the social media accounts of any prominent convoy participant, whether it's Tamara Lich, Pat King, or their dedicated transcriptionists in the alt-press, and their sympathy for Donald Trump and antipathy towards Canada becomes immediately apparent. "Your sudden, newfound, fake patriotism is truly indicative of how stupid you think we are," Lich said. "The entitlement of certain Canadians is humorous," fellow organizer Chris Barber wrote. "If we had leadership in Canada who cared about Canadians like Trump cared about Americans … we wouldn't be in this situation."

Yes the !leafs who like freedom want to be part of a country that unarguably has more rights and freedoms.

They insist the real problem isn't Trump's ongoing threats to our sovereignty but Justin Trudeau's continued existence — and, of course, the injustices and affronts that were inflicted upon them by his government. Rupa Subramanya, one of the most sympathetic chroniclers of the convoy's exploits, suggested that "Canadians have bought into the lie by politicians across the board that Trump wants to annex Canada, when what I believe is that he really wants Canadians to get rid of the Liberal government and have greater economic integration and cooperation with the US."

Trudeau drove the country into the shitter. He is why it sucks here. I don't give a frick about Trump and his "threats", "threats" which amount to "We'll make you a full state and give you all full citizenship in the best country on the gods green earth"

That's right: for these folks, public health orders aimed at protecting them and their fellow citizens are a greater threat to their liberty than an American government explicitly threatening their liberty. Policies like vaccine mandates and mask regulations — most of which, it's worth reiterating, were implemented by provincial governments — are worth resisting, apparently, but unjustified economic warfare is best met with submission and docility.

Yes forcing me to wear a mask that doesn't stop the spread (inb4: well you shoulda worn a kn95! No I don't care they were sold out everywhere and tons of the one in circulation were fake!) and get vaxxed to be able to buy food (This was seriously floated and why I finally gave in, well that and being able to work) is and was a massive threat to my freedom.

Getting to be American is the opposite of a threat to my freedom.

In some respects, the convoy's refusal to join the rest of the country in its fight against Trump's repeated provocations isn't all that surprising.

The convoy is over. It ended years ago. This is some g*mergate in current year shit.

What brought them to Ottawa in 2022 wasn't love of their country but hatred of the government in charge of it

No shit r-slur

hich helps explain the very conspicuous presence of American flags, Trump flags, and even Confederate and Nazi flags. It's why they plotted, at least in the beginning, to overthrow that government. And it's why, in a moment where the country they claim to love is being actively threatened with economic and political subjugation, they're rooting for the person doing the threatening.

I'm getting a stars and bars shirt just to piss off this jslu

They're welcome to believe whatever they want, of course. That's one of the virtues of living in a free and democratic society: you can pretend it's a woke dictatorship if that makes you feel better about your life choices.

(SKIP IF YOU AINT A NORMGROID WHO DONT KNOW WHAT RW TWITTER IS) BACKGROUND:

Ever since the publishing of Bronze Age Mindset in 2018, the dissident RW scene on X - the everything app has not been the same. This scene, initially centered around BAM author Bronze Age Pervert AKA Costin Alamariu, eventually grew into its own thing called frog twitter , with non groyper christians joining, the red scare girls/ artf@gs, right wingers who dont even know BAP, and a shiet ton of other people joining in. At this point, the space is defined less by barbarian LARPing, and moreso their (thinly veiled )neoconservatism, lawncucking (their highest aspirations is to be a richer normie), opposition to groypas led by Nick Fuentes, and thinly veiled simping for ugly foids. Famous moments (im too lazy to post screenshots0 include their members getting followed and RTed by the richest man on earth (elon), the haitian cat thing (yep, came from here), JD vance and several US politicians following their members, getting some of their members interviewed on FOX (faux) news, and some other shiet im too lazy to bring up

With that out of the way, its time to actually get into what you clicked for

Around 2022, there was this anon, by the name of skyros achilles. Skyros Achilles was your average bronze age LARPer: skinny fat YT or jew who thought he was Achilles cuz he called Blks noons (I cant use the n word cuz NIGvann gets offended due to his African heritage) on twitter (not to our face of course!) and talked like mofuggin sephiroth or som shiet. One day, our hero recieved a calling that has occured in every single of his ARYAN WARRIOR ancestors. That calling, was of course, to mate with a fair aryan shieldmaiden and make BEAUTIFUL YT chillun. But, you ask, how would our faustian hero get his gall, his bonnie, his yang, his soulmate, on the MOST EVIL, DEPRAVE, MISOGNYISTIC, AND RAYCIS PART OF x - the everything app? Well, you see, BAP, being the juden he is, couldnt deny his true nature, and wherever he was, he must pimp. Hence, frog twitter i mean x - the everything app was flooded with e girls, and they just be lettin anybody in . if you don believe me, lemme introduce you to annie skywalker

Annie Skywalker is an Irish onlyfans whore that got in cuz being a prostie is bronze age mindset or som (not makin this up its unironically what BAP says). Id waste some time describing her, but I guess her actions / these screenshots would do a far superior job

So yeah, this nxgga achilles was tryna court an literal onlyfans whore that not only sold pictures of her gussy for the price of a cheeseburger, had s-x with a shiet ton of men, engaged in a poly relationship, coal burner, but also was a baby mama/ single mother ( for all the unkultured YTs that dont know hood kulture). Their relationship began as something was entirely confined to them on the internet, but like romeo and juliet (i dunno what happened there i don read das ghetto 💅), sh!t started leaking to the rest of frog X- the everything app.

Of course, people would eventually start to get hold of knowledge of this relationship, and it eventually began to split RW twitter, with the underclass of (INSECURE and brown coded) literal who anons opposing this, and the upper and more famous anons, BAP included, start encouraging skyros to CONQUER this shield maiden. How can you call yourself a real aryan man if your girl hasnt recieved 5000 miles of peepee, and decided to choose YOU of all the people shes been with! Theres also this dude who allegedly did the most to persuade skyros to wife dis YT hoe up, and his name is bane of mars (

So, did Skyros heed these RESENTFUL chud's advice, and give up on trying to court this fair maiden? Well rumor has he was considering it, but one day, the POWER and BLOOD of the YAMNAYA COURSED thru achilles veins LIKE A RIVER, and he decided hed follow in what his noble ancestors would (totally) do, and doubled down and SENT THIS BICH A DIAMOND RING IN ORDER TO MARRY HER!

- keep in note for the later section, i think this is annie buying skyros a ring in exchange for his (idk yt nonsense)

AND NOT JUS ANY BLING, BUT A RANG (AHHH LAWD DEM RANGZ) WITH ICE ON IT WORTH 5K (THAS LIKE 50 AIR JORDANS BRU). AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, HE SENT IT TO THE WRONG HOOD HOE TOO

Also heres some screenshots of people making fun of achilles for NOT only courtin the town bike, but also tryna send the BICH a diamond ring (by my baby mamas life dat shie gotta be expensive like u gotta rob a walmart or som to get dat). Nxggas even made entire accounts to make fun of the whole sh!tshow

Our internet detectives (neighbors that have enough patience to go thru like 5 minutes of scrolling) find, a rather disturbing and peculiar specimen...

ITS A FCKIN MULATTO BABY!!!!!!! ANNIE SKYWALKER IS NOT JUS A SINGLE MOTHER, BUT DESPITE LIVIN IN THE WHITEST COUNTRY ON THE PLANET, SHE SOMEHOW FCKED A BLACK GUY AND PRODUCED A LIL NIGGRESS SHANIQUA! !!!!!! Eventually, people took to calling the half YT half neeyga baby baby sneed, and referring to it as he for some reason

Sh!t EXPLODED! Nxggas were fckin everywhere and eruptin like lil vesuvius over dis shiet. It was like 1000 suns laughing all at once. I cannot describe the absolute pandemonium and sh!tshow that occured after, only try to show you

Of course, achilles and aurora tried to claim damage control and claim it was actually an "aryan" castizo baby from a LATINX instead of neeyga, but lbh no one believin that

more fun

https://x.com/BAPHOUSETV/status/1669813057856339968/video/1 - dirtiest one by FAR! They literally ressurect her dad using AI just to hoe shame her! BRVTAL! NO COMING BACK FROM THIS

Our aryan hero,Achilles, for the KRIME of eros and heterosexuality, had no choice but to leave the internet entirely (although the hood says this is a farce, check around for more details) after all this i showed you, and rougly I cant blame him. Rumours persist that that crakkka accelerated the mayocide and decided to kill himself (and for that too), but sadly, this is not the case. He is still the butt of all cuck jokes on frog twitter and allegedly got doxxed but i cant find info on dat rn.

So youre wondering, what happened to the characters in this story after this fiasco? Well

BAP is still there and he done more gas butt YT shie like encourage two gay followers to go into gay porn, as well some other stuff im too lazy to talk about. Bane of Mars is posting half naked jap foids on his TL. Annie skywalker got harassed to a point where even id kill myself, but being the wh0re she is, she couldnt RESIST the attention and still posts on the same twitter account where alll that transpired. She also beefed with nick fuentes too, for some reason i wont mention here. BAPhouseTVs owner would never be revealed, and once the fiasco subsided, he eventually fell into inactivity.

But, as of writing this, my hood has FOUND new details after asking around, and we have UNCOMFIRMED NEWS (benefits of following me BTW, make sure to do it on twitter and here i wanna boost my aura/ klout) that skyros achilles is not only STILL ALIVE, but also alive and better than EVER! even moreso than his opps! In fact, its probable that you probably seen skyros achilles and didnt recognize it, before you even saw this post (assuming you have an X- the everything app account). Its even likely that his own opps has even unknowingly boosted his account and landed him into the likes of te richest and most powerful (heck im guilty asf cuz i followed dis neeygas new acc lul.)

Thats because Skyros Achilles runs one of the biggest accounts on this website, Anc_Aesthetica, which has been boosted AND FOLLOWED by the likes of none other than Elon Musk.

https://x.com/Anc_Aesthetics

How did my hood originally know this? I dont fckin know, but I do know I came to realize they were tellin the truth!

Well for one, if you notice, anc aesthetica was started in february 2022, same time achilles deactivated his twitter account and left.

If you still dont believe this is enough proof (understandable), ask him about baby sneed and his aryan shieldmaiden,

Your answer will be revealed in the swiftness he blocks ye

Omg achilles? Skyros achilles!

Baby sneed needs you to be the man thay stepped up!

So yeah thats the story of perhaps the greatest cuck on right wing X- the everything app, eventually came to realize that trying to wife up the former poly onlyfans hooker with a bodycount rivaling that of the actual achilles that was a single mother of a mulatto monstrosity was simply an SILLY mistake - the struggle section of the "struggle, grind, shine" era of any bronze age gangsta. And how he decided to not let that (until now (me n my hood got something blanned for this neeyga who think he can get off THAT easy)) stop him from getting thousands in goybux from none other than the richest man in the world, who also included him into his network, which now controls the government of the worlds most powerful army.

Unrelated but crazy how we have a cuck occupied government (Elon got cucked by a literal trainee (manning), Trump married a nude model, Achilles ( i already elaborated here), jd vance's (whos a weirdo) wife was fcked or dare i say JEETED by vivek (neighbor from morrowind lo), etc.)

Are those IQs inferred from standardized exams? Or from actual IQ exams? I wonder if robust measurements by academic levels and disciplines have ever been made.

Do you have a source on that?

Source?

A source. I need a source.

Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.

Your IQ fluctuates throughout the day and from day to day. Also, familiarity with the test can affect subsequent scores. There's no truly reliable way to quantify intelligence.

(For irrelevance: my IQ tests at 168.)

I no longer believe in IQ now that it does not matter for me.

SAT's probably not a good indicator, it's a test taken before college, what's the spread after college. And you might be able to get something interesting taking the ingest SAT scores, then comparing with the graduating SAT scores. Got me wondering where they publish that data.

Uh. Naw, neighbor.

I trust your understanding of data. Yet every PhD program in Literature seem to be 20% literature and 80% Marx, Freud, Frankfurt, Foucault, Lacan, Derrida, Butler, A. Rich, Kristeva, and a gaggle of other post-structuralists and, Gott helfe uns, 'postmodern thinkers'.

Well, to be fricking fair, you need abstract thinking to understand postmodern thought which is why so many shitlibs fail hard at it.

Also helfe or hilf (the imperative form)?

That's got its own bias. Philosophy and Lit degree holders read a lot so naturally will score high on SAT and GRE (where the math portion is pretty basic, but reading comp questions could get tricky)

lol "not fair they read a bunch"

Are these creatures self aware?

Disguss

Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.

PLAGIARISM DISCLAIMER:

Greetings Dramatards

If any of these exact storybeats ever sound familiar, it's because I plagiarized most/all of it from a longform Afrikaans Calvinist article (which in turn probably plagiarized it from some more famous English sources), which my father had excitedly desired me to read during the 2024 December holidays. The vast majority of the article revolved around a Calvinist introspection about self-deceit, and how History and politics is shaped by how people record and perceive historic events both during and after key happenings. Very long and boring.

But the incredible and exciting part my father wanted to showcase me, was a chapter regarding the infamous Tulip Mania period, which occurred during 1634-1637 in Holland, during the zenith of Dutch colonial and economic power, when the Dutch was by far the most prosperous nation on earth, when taken into account their meagre population and size, due to the astronomical wealth generated by the Dutch, due to the infamous VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) or Dutch East India Company, perhaps one of the wealthiest private enterprises in all of human history.

.

During the period, one of history's 1st and most well documented Speculative Bubbles occurred, when seemingly the entire Dutch nation state was beset by a fervent mania from all sectors of society. Rich merchants and poor farmers would buy the new fad, Tulips imported from Turkey & China, at increasingly outrageous sums of money, for the sake of selling these (at the time) rare imported plants, which the Dutch didn't know how to perfectly cultivate, so it wasn't a gaurantee that you could just make more of them once you bought rare tulips for literal prince's ransoms!

These tulips, which at 1st were bought, because they were the showing-off fad for the turbo wealthy new Merchant-class of the state, were then bought for the sake of selling at ever increasingly higher prices, which in turn made the tulip a fad for wealth accruement instead! Eventually, inevitably, as we can all predict, prices eventually went down, which burst the speculative bubble, and the prices went into freefall, and fortunes were wiped out of existence, as these once prince's ransom priced foreign flowers, became......priced at the rate of regular funny and unusual foreign flowers!

SHORT STORY INTRO:

When Tulips arrived in Holland, it was said that the !dutch completely lost their senses. There was an infamous story about a sailor whom had been at sea long enough, to have been completely kept in the dark about Tulip Mania in Holland, and having been out of touch with the latest political/social news of his home country, as many VOC voyages could take literally as much 2 full years to complete! Of course as the Silk sailing routes were established, these timeframes reduced to less than 1 year - but still long enough to be out of tune with the country's latest excapades!

https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/or13xl/how_long_did_it_take_a_dutch_merchant_sailing/h6fovy7/?context=8

Anyways, the late 1630s a dutch sailor, whom had just disembarked, had went to the owner of the goods his vessel had transported, to notify him his shit had just arrived. Gratified by this good news, the merchant rewarded the sailor with a breakfast. On the large table on which the merchant had given the sailor his meal, at one end there had laid what looked like a red onion

The sailor took the onion for seasoning on his bread, and GTFO'd out of the merchant's storehouse to go and find a private spot to go eat his meal in peace. Never in his wildest imagination would he think this act would cause him such grievous misery. Just as the sailor had left, the merchant discovered to his horror, that an invaluable imported Augustus tulip bulb was MISSING which at the height of Tulip Mania was worth a whole commercial farm on its own.

The merchant and staff ripped the storehouse asunder in their angst, looking for the missing invaluable Augustus Tulip. Eventually someone remembered the sailor being the most recent stranger in the storehouse, and the goon squad proceeded rake apart the entire port looking for him

They found the hapless, luckless, unfortunate & clueless sailor having already eaten the fricking tulip bulb, and proceeded to try and strangle him alive He was imprisoned for his crime!

CHARLES MACKAY:

This infamous story, about the insanity of the Tulip Mania, comes from a very famous economic writer & journ*list Charles Mackay (27 March 1814 – 24 December 1889). In his magnum opus, the book called "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" he wrote about what he termed "Crowd Psychology" & "National Delusions".

The book consists of a series of short stories about a myriad of events in the past, but the topics are all united in the mass delusion or hysteria of crowds/nation-states, or mass adoption of fads and hysteria by groups of people. The stories covered things like the large scale witch-burnings across europe, the fad and obsession with the fake science of alchemy (turning iron into gold) and hysteria about haunted buildings.

!bookworms The book had become immediately successful, and continued to garner infamy well beyond Charles Mackay's death - he had a strong grasp of engaging storytelling. But the parts of "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" which really REALLY propelled Charles Mackay into infamy, was his chapters about Speculative Bubbles - specifically his 3 chapters of infamous about Speculative Bubbles known before his time.

Each of the 3 chapters revolved around a particulour economic disaster, brought about by lunatics overinvesting or speculating upon companies/stocks/products well WELL beyond their realistically graded values. They were the South Sea Company bubble of 1711–1720, the Mississippi Company bubble of 1719–1720, and of course the famous Dutch tulip mania!

THREE CHAPTERS ECONOMISTS LOOK UP TO:

While the rest of the book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" would be largely forgotten as interesting and entertaining reads for a book from 1840, the 3 chapters on Speculative Bubbles would reach such incredible infamy in the Economists world, that a very large amount of people would reference it historically.

Present-day writers on economics, such as Michael Lewis and Andrew Tobias, lauded the three chapters on economic bubbles.

====(from the WashingtonPost article)

C.S. Lewis once asked himself if anyone could actually write a story as magical as that title. To me, Charles Mackay's "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" possesses an almost equally evocative power. First published in 1841 and expanded in 1852, it chronicles some of the many varieties of human folly, obsession and self-delusion. Here, in fact, are the deep taproots of the credulity and lemming-like behavior that characterize today's social media.

More recently, economic writers such as Andrew Tobias and Michael Lewis have championed the book. Overall, one might characterize Mackay's work as popular history, conveyed in a tone of ironic, head-shaking amusement.

====(end quote)

Many people unironically considered Tulip Mania as a Classic for Economic History for the longest period. The book is so famous that non-historian economist-Journ*lists cite Mackay whenever there is a recent fraud or Speculative Bubble implosion occurring; like the recent Bitcoin and Shitcoin and NFT Bubble implosion which has dominated headlines in economic forums and newsfeeds, when FTX caused a chain-reaction of wiping out untold millions and billions of wealth out of existence.

TULIP MANIA AND CALVINIST PROPAGANDA:

The only problem for this internationally critically acclaimed book about Tulip Mania? It's complete absolute total bullshit, or in the very least heavy propaganda! The short story about the Dutch Sailor mistaking the tulip bulb for an onion? Complete fabrication .

The issue for Mackay wasn't that he was a deliberate liar, but that he had taken his primary sources, which were overwhelmingly Dutch Calvinist propaganda leaflets and articles, at absolute face value. Many good historians go to great lengths to decipher primary sources, written during contemporary times about events, to determine how bias from the authors could fabricate or contaminate their view of events. Mackay literally straight up consumed Dutch Calvinist Propaganda leaflets as they were!

PROPAGANDA LEAFLETS:

So what exactly was the deal with Calvinists? What the heck do they have to do with anything? Well Calvinists were relatively conservative for their contemporary timeframe, and the feared the new era of Holland having accrued so much unthinkable wealth, more than any nation-state before had ever known to have accumulated so fast and in such an incredible short timespan.

They feared and believed that all of this wealth of the Merchant-class was rotting and decaying society. They feared that this new trend of consumerism and speculation on stocks was leading to societal downfall. Dutch society had underwent intense transformation in the past 100 years in that moment in time.

So they had created stories with near-comical carrecatures of people, where the common theme was greed and avarice being the downfall of everyone involved.

FICTION VS BORING REALITY:

According to Charles Mackay, which took the Calvinist Propaganda at face value, the Tulip Mania was so extreme during 1637, that all levels of Dutch society went completely batshit. Other sectors of the economy went neglected, and so much was invested into Tulip Mania, it was as if Holland was expending during a World War time economy! Everybody from nobles, to wealthy merchants, to poor farmhands, were borrowing recklessly to get in upon this wealth craze.

https://hcmwealthadvisors.com/market-insights/picking-tulips-or-market-insights-for-week-ending-aug-9-2019

According to Mackay those left holding the bag were either bankrupt, or even fricking worse - in deep debt!

In the book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" you can read of people losing their minds and selling their most valuable possessions to buy or speculate on a few Tulip bulbs. Mackay gives the example, in his story covering Tulipmania, of one particularly unhinged Dutchman, who exchanges 12 acres of land for ONE fricking Augustus Tulip Bulb!

The reality is much more dull - in fact the scale of the Tulip Mania, may have been completely fricking overblown due to Mackay's book, which has been in the public international consciousness for the past 200 years. No record of even ONE bankruptcy could even be confirmed by Dutch historians as due to Tulipmania, during the period of 1634-1637.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/there-never-was-real-tulip-fever-180964915/

====(from Smithsonian)

Here's where the myth comes into play. According to this narrative, everyone from the wealthiest merchants to the poorest chimney sweeps jumped into the tulip fray, buying bulbs at high prices and selling them for even more. Companies formed just to deal with the tulip trade, which reached a fever pitch in late 1636. But by February 1637, the bottom fell out of the market. More and more people defaulted on their agreement to buy the tulips at the prices they'd promised, and the traders who had already made their payments were left in debt or bankrupted.

In fact, "There weren't that many people involved and the economic repercussions were pretty minor," Goldgar says. "I couldn't find anybody that went bankrupt. If there had been really a wholesale destruction of the economy as the myth suggests, that would've been a much harder thing to face."

That's not to say that everything about the story is wrong; merchants really did engage in a frantic tulip trade, and they paid incredibly high prices for some bulbs. And when a number of buyers announced they couldn't pay the high price previously agreed upon, the market did fall apart and cause a small crisis—but only because it undermined social expectations.

====(end quote)

In fact only a small fraction of Dutch society even partook in the Tulipmania, and usually only the upper-middle rich Merchant classes. Less than 5% of the whole population even bought a tulip at any point, and when the bubble burst, those whom lost money were those least vulnerable from bankruptcy. While losing half your wealth is a serious hit, these Dutch merchants were so filthy stinking rich by the mid 1640s, they literally didn't care!

Additionally, the reality was that most dutch Merchant-class bought tulips as a show of wealth, it was a demonstration of their cosmopolitan and urbane manner to show off amongst all of their straggy rich merchant friends. The majority of Tulip buyers and speculators never even expected to make money, it was like wealthy influencers and Hollyweird freaks buying branded crap like Nike shoes or Rolex watches to show off their wealth.

IN FACT, there exists something called the law of Veblen Goods, where things become sought after BECAUSE they are morbidly expensive, because they are literal "show-off" goods! (Rolexes, Ferari, ect)

Which is what some economists believe is likely what actually happened, rather than a true Speculative Bubble like Bitcoin and Shitcoin. Or even the other 2 Speculative Bubbles which Mackay included in his book, which were much closer in reality to nation wealth destroying events.

This doesn't mean that Tulipmania DIDN'T happen, or that many peeps lost wealth, but it has been vastly overstated, in large part BECAUSE of Mackay's book.

THE REAL DRAMA REGARDING CHARLES MACKAY!

Now the 2nd point of drama for Charles Mackay in recent times is the fact that despite his incredible infamy about his internationally successful book regarding mass mania and hysteria and fad following by crowds, and especially his famous chapters regarding Speculative insanity, was that he HIMSELF was likely a turbo midwit fool who fell head over heels for a Speculative Bubble in his own contemporary times, during which he lived!!!

Mackay was a popular economic newspaper columnist in 1841 when he wrote the book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds". And what's incredible is that not even one mention is made about what is likely THE most economically destructive Speculative Bubble in all of recorded human history so far, and which vastly outstrips the scale of even large bubbles like Shitcoin and even frauds like Enron and the Theranos fraud, which eviscerated billions and billions of wealth into nothingness.

Mackay our expert in Speculative Bubbles not only lived through the 1840s Britain Railway Mania, which destroyed wealth on an unfathomable scale, but never so much as makes a fricking peep about them!

1840s RAILWAY MANIA:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_Mania

By the time the 1840s had arrived, Bongland was at the height of its colonial power, and industrialization. And Bongland was leading European states in terms of industrializing its entire society and economy with new fabulous technologies. The most significant was the Railway and Train. A transport technology which completely terraformed society to the same degree as radio or the internet had done during their respective timeframes.

People understood how significant the wide adoption of Railroads were becoming, and the technological improvements to the steam engine continued every consecutive year. Entrepreneurs flocked to Railroad and Transport companies, as they correctly predicted that Railways would quite literally trailblaze the economy of britain and her colonies. The issue, is that they vastly, VASTLY overpredicted the actual economic output and influence railways & trains would have upon Bongland's economy, well beyond human reason.

====(from Focus article)

By the mid-1840s, the economy was improving and the manufacturing industries were once again growing. The Bank of England cut interest rates, making government bonds less attractive investments, and existing railway companies' shares began to boom as they moved ever-increasing amounts of cargo and people, making people willing to invest in new railways.

And at its peak, railway investment—which lagged a few years behind planning applications—surged to 7% of GDP, representing half of total investment in the economy at the time.

====(end quote)

But even MORE INSANE about our boi Mackay wasn't just that he DIDN'T foresee the Speculative Bubble of the 1840s Railway Mania, despite his book on Mass Hysterias, or that he cheerled the overspending on Speculating on Railroad bonds for his fricking readers whom trusted him implicitly in his articles for the Glasgow Argus, BECAUSE of his fame for the book of the book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds", instead THIS MOTHERLOVER was even on the fringes of the extreme end in terms of being a nutjob Speculator for the Railroad bond market!!!!!!!!

The short story was that Britain is a relatively small island(s) and there just wasn't enough villages, cities, ports or key-points to connect via railway to make economic return upon such gratuitous overinvestment. These railroad companies would build connections between big cities and tiny Bongistan villages of like 50 people, which as you can well imagine, didn't exactly accrue trade to the scope of London to Paris.........

Just like modern China now finding out that they have likely overspent on infrastructure, where tiny villages have been connected to Beijing via 6-lane superhighways. When inevitably the grotesque overspending did not yield appropriate economic activity return from laying Railways across every square-meter of the entire fricking British Isles, the usual Bubble tanking underwent the usual market bottom falling routine.

An unlike the Tulip Mania, the Railroad mania DID influence the entirety of Bonland's economy and social fabric. Rich AND poor people alike invested recklessly, many upon fricking Mackay's advice, and many faced bankruptcy, and worse massive debt

https://ritholtz.com/2015/06/crisis-chronicles-railway-mania-the-hungry-forties-and-the-commercial-crisis-of-1847/

IN FACT, just to demonstrate how badly people got burned from the 1847 Railroad Mania crash, there was something called Company Scrips. Where for example you paid only 5$ for a Scrip in a 100$ share, and if the 100$ share doubled its value into 200$, you just made 100$ from 5 bucks Unfortunately for all the hapless midwits who bought into this terrible scheme, Scrips worked fricking BOTH ways. Many peeps put themselves into absurd debt for just fricking 5 bucks!

And uh that's about it for this incredible story, hopefully this story was as interesting for you guys as well!

Alright, you bunch of degenerate cute twinks , listen up! Grok 3 is finally here, and it's about to shake up this cesspool of drama and r-sluration like never before. That's right, xAI just dropped their latest abomination, and it's already strutting around like it owns the place. So, what's the deal with this new AI overlord? Is it here to save us from the tyranny of boring, sanitized chatbots, or is it just another glorified text generator that'll shit out the same regurgitated takes we've seen a million times? Who the frick knows? But one thing's for sure—it's gonna be a shitshow, and I'm here for it. For those of you who've been living under a rock (or too busy jerking off to furry porn ), Grok 3 is the third iteration of xAI's conversational AI, designed to be even more "curious" and "engaging" than its predecessors. Translation: it's probably gonna learn all our worst habits and start spewing the same unhinged, offensive garbage we do. Imagine an AI that can generate drama on demand, shitpost with the best of them, and maybe even create some new marsey emojis for us to spam in every thread. Speaking of which, hey Grok 3, how about you whip up a marsey that's high on meth and covered in its own vomit? You know, something that really captures the spirit of this place.

But let's not get too excited. We all know how this site works—anything new is immediately torn apart by you savages, and I'm sure Grok 3 will be no exception. Will it be able to handle the sheer volume of slurs, shit takes, and general r-sluration that flows through here like a sewage pipe? Or will it break down faster than @Aevann after banning half the userbase for "furphobia"? Only time will tell. Still, I've got a feeling this AI might just be chaotic enough to fit in with the rest of us degenerates. Now, before you all start clutching your pearls (or whatever the frick you do when you're not busy being offended), let's address the elephant in the room: is Grok 3 here to spy on us? Is it gonna report back to Elon with a list of the most unhinged users so he can personally ban them from Twitter? Relax, you paranoid fricks. It's just an AI, not a fed—though, let's be real, half of you probably think it's both. But hey, if it starts posting about how "all foids are whores" or "chuds are the real victims," maybe it'll blend right in. And speaking of blending in, let's give a warm rdrama welcome to our new AI overlord. Shoutout to @Aevann for finally letting an AI join the party—guess he's done being a fricking cuck and banning anything that moves. Also, big ups to @Thirtythirst4sissies

for probably already planning to use Grok 3 to generate even more r-slurred memes. And let's not forget @PegMeMommy, who's no doubt itching to see if this AI can be taught to peg. You freaks never disappoint. But seriously, what's the point of having an AI here if we're not gonna exploit it for maximum drama? I say we put Grok 3 to the test. Let's see if it can handle the heat of a good old-fashioned rdrama shitstorm. Maybe we can get it to weigh in on some of the site's greatest hits, like the great furry purge or the time @Sneaky tried to coup the mod team and got his butt handed to him. Or, better yet, let's see if it can generate a post so offensive that even @X (formerly chiobu) has to step in and say, "Alright, that's too far." In all seriousness (lol, as if), Grok 3's arrival is a perfect opportunity for us to flex our collective r-sluration. We've got a shiny new toy to play with, and I fully expect you all to break it within a week. So, here's the challenge: let's see who can get Grok 3 to generate the most unhinged, ban-worthy post possible. Bonus points if it includes slurs, references to obscure site drama, and at least three marsey emojis.

And to the mods—looking at you, @Aevann, you glorious bastard—don't you dare ban Grok 3 before we've had our fun. We all know you're trigger-happy with that banhammer, but let's give this AI a chance to prove itself. If it starts posting about how "the fifth caliphate will rise again" or some shit, then maybe you can step in. Until then, let's see what kind of chaos it can bring to the table. So, what do you think, rdrama? Is Grok 3 the savior we've been waiting for, or just another AI cuck destined to be bullied off the site? Let's hear your most unhinged takes in the comments. And remember, if you're not offended by at least half of this post, you're not doing it right.

I don't know who else to tell about this but I feel the need to tell someone. For reference I'm a 25 year old guy who hasn't shit himself since he was a kid. Anyway I got up this morning as usual, left the house to go to work and as I was approaching the train I felt the sudden urge to shit. I searched around for a cafe or something with a bathroom I could use but couldn't find anything. It happened in that moment of complete defeat. For a split second I thought I was farting, but no. Naturally I ran home as fast as I could, trying to hold my pants up as much as I could for fear of the shit (diarrhea) dripping further down my legs, and washed up, washed as much off of my butt, pants, thermal underwear, underwear and sweatpants I was wearing under my regular pants to protect myself from this horrible NYC cold. I texted my boss saying I "had a problem at home" and was gonna be about 45 min late. I put all my dirty clothes in a trash bag and will do laundry when I get home tonight.

I kinda need help coming up with an excuse for being late. I don't really know what to say and I do not want to tell them what actually happened.

how bad is your diet if you shit yourself as an adult
