Abolish the Senior Discount
In the interest of making America great again, and building back better. We must begin looking forward instead of backward. Putting the youth first is a patriotic necessity. Young parents, and individuals simply haven’t had the same opportunities.
Unlike their seniors who’ve enjoyed the best economic period of American history. With plenty of decades of preparation, they shouldn’t have trouble affording things. Old age just isn’t simply a good enough reason for a discount.
How do we know if this person was honorable, and a benefit to society? They could’ve been absolutely terrible. So, there needs to be something to prove a positive contribution.
Groups of people that deserve a discount:
1. Veterans
2. Doctors & Nurses
3. Active duty military, policeman, firefighters, and EMTs
4. Teachers
5. Individuals between the ages of 18 & 28
6. Young Mothers & Fathers
We’ll never get back to a state of stronger cultural, and economic cohesion with our current mindset. Senior citizens will instead be given the opportunity to pay more. They’ll be able to round up from 9.25 to 10.00 in order to support the future generations.
They’ll rest easy knowing that extra money went towards helping a young family or some college student. A small but important way of serving the greater good of our society. We’ll call it the “Senior Surcharge”, and it’ll go into the Patriotic Stewardship Fund. Which will distribute the money accordingly.
“50 dollars in 1960 had the same purchasing power as 464 dollars in 2021. If your money is worth less now than it was in the past. That means it costs way more now to even start living independently as a adult. ” – My article on the anti-vaccine community
The older generations did not create a better world to hand over to Generation Y, Z, and Alpha. But there’s plenty of things that can be done to make it right. Before you leave this Earth for the afterlife.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you have an excellent day. If you’re interested in investing in crypto. Please look into Bancor Network, Algorand, and Ankr. Excellent investment opportunities for all.

My advice for the Communist party USA
Warhammer, colors, and belief
For colors I’ll be focusing on blue, red, purple, and green. I may briefly bring up the others though. Colors have positive, and negative associations. Blue is popular with corporations because it’s a calm, and welcoming color. Blue is often associated with security, and trust. Green is associated with growth, and fertility. Red is associated with courage, and passion. Purple is associated with power & luxury.
Purple has probably the most chaotic neutral alignment of the colors. It’s positive associations are also negative associations. It’s not as black & white as the others.
We’ll start with the four chaos gods. I would include Malal but he’s not as active in the series. The rest are a very active presence in the Warhammer universe.
Khorne is the blood god, and Lord of skulls. His color is red. War, and murder are his domain. Khorne devotees are expected to strive to be stronger, and dominate all opponents. But if you get too strong eventually that leads you to Khorne. Skarbrand made the mistake of challenging Khorne. Only to get struck down. Khorne obviously embodies anger, and passion.
Next up is Nurgle the Plague Lord, Grandfather Nurgle, and Lord of Pestilence. Green is his color. His followers embrace excess, and illness. Although it can be said that all devotees of Chaos are embracing excess. What makes him unique is that he truly cares about his followers. His plagues are perceived as a blessing.
Slaanesh represents pleasure, excess, and decadence. The negative associations of the color purple. Slaanesh is the baby of the chaos family. Technically an Eldar God but also a Chaos God.
Tzeentch represents change, sorcery, and intrigue. He is objectively the strongest of the four. Making everyone think it’s Khorne is just a part of the plan. He represents the positive associations with blue funnily enough. Unless we’re counting cold unfriendliness.
“Perception is reality” – Vincent Kennedy McMahon
Manifestation is the occult concept that you can will things into existence. This is a very common belief. That’s even embraced by followers of the Abrahamic faiths. They’ve got their own terms for their witchcraft though.
The belief system of orks is heavily influenced by manifestation, and perception. There’s a popular story about a battle between Imperial soldiers, and Orks. The imperial soliders ran out of ammo. So, they started making gun noises. The Orks were dropping dead. Because they believed that they were actually getting shot. There’s another bit where Orks were saying “I’m a tank”, and suddenly they weren’t effected by attacks.
The Tau are uniquely unaffected by the warp. The warp or immaterium is a psychic sweet spot. It’s also the home turf of chaos. All sorts of things can be made real in there. The humans that voluntarily joined their empire accidentally created a Tau god. Because of how strongly they believed in the “Greater Good” .
The entire self-help industry is built upon the occult concept of manifestation. Whether it acknowledges it or not. The entire modus operandi is occult in origin.
The prosperity theology that’s very popular with Americans is an interesting phenomena. It is heretical, and blasphemous from a traditional Christian perspective. Prosperity gospel is a very obvious form of witchcraft that’s palatable for the bible belt. That heavily relies on manifestation, and prayers that are effectively fortune spells.
It’s basically if you believe hard enough that Lamborghini you’ve dreamed of will be yours. That’s prosperity theology in a nutshell. Whether it’s intentional or not the Megachurch Mafia is reintroducing magic to Christians.
You also see a bit of this unconscious occultism in stock, and cryptocurrency investors. Libertarians, and motivational speakers too. Occult, and pagan belief is very potent. It doesn’t require institutions or force. It comes very naturally to us.
So much so that it even subverts the institutions that tried to suppress it for centuries.
A vision for an American Empire
Traveling through the warp of political philosophy can always lead to interesting things. The honorable folks of the Imperium should always tred carefully. The disciples of Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle, and Tzeentch are recruiting.
I discovered this article from a civic authoritarian project. Here’s my take on the author’s writings. America’s time as a republic is definitely over. The future is imperial in nature.
He accurately maps out the progression from Republic to Empire. I liked the suggestion of looking to the federalists for inspiration. Hamilton, and Adams to be precise. Here’s some outlandish suggestions for how to craft the Empire of America.
The Holy Roman Empire is an excellent example for how it could operate. Towns, cities, counties, and states are now governed by influential families. Electors would be able to vote for the Emperor Empress of America. Countries could voluntarily join the Empire of America.
The Empire of America in it’s early stages will have to expand without firing a shot. This can easily be done by reforming the foreign aid program, and remittance policies. Giving up sovereignty to the Empire of America becomes a prerequisite for aid. Countries like Moldova, Haiti, and Thailand could apply for statehood. Leading to enjoying all the benefits that come with it. Better infrastructure, quality of life, and more. The influential families of these new imperial states would be able to represent them in the capital.
Atheism & anti-theism must be considered taboo within the Empire. It only breeds defeatism, and unmitigated hedonism. The Empire will have to embrace religious belief. Personally I don’t think a state religion is necessary or the correct move. But favoring one, and accepting the rest is fine. V2 Catholicism lacks potency, and the reputation of the institution is damaged beyond repair. The various sects of Protestantism lack good aesthetics, and have similar issues.
Mormonism is strong but it’s so outlandish that it got bullied into Utah. Islam has many qualities that makes it suitable for Imperium. However it’s very alien to the masses of the first 50 states. We’d have to settle on a sect, and make it palatable to the public. There’s also Baha’i, Wicca, and Thelema.
The Empire of America could also create a syncretic polytheism that pulls from many pantheons. Celtic, Norse, Aztec, Greek, and so on. Embracing polytheism is certainly an option.
Reigniting the flame of Monolatry by going with Atenism or Yahwism is definitely an option. You could also favor Mithraism or Julian’s Hellenism.
Circling back to the model for the Empire of America. The Tau Empire from Warhammer 40k is another solid example. They value peace, and diplomacy. War is typically a last resort for them. They’re a very utilitarian society that believes in the greater good. Everyone must aspire to great heights to advance society as a whole. People have compared them to the USSR. Which isn’t entirely wrong but not 100% right either.
The Tau Empire does allow other species to voluntarily join the Empire. However the Tau do have a caste system. Which isn’t very hammer & sickle of them. The Ethereals are the top caste of society. Pheromones, special abilities, and indoctrination. One or a combination of those could explain their power.
The term “National Progressive” is perfect because it’s rooted in the past, and looks to the future. Leaders like McKinley, the Roosevelts, and Alexander Hamilton should be seen as it’s forefathers. We must construct a strong cultural, and political message around this new ideology. This progressive ideology won’t be like the one we know now.
It’ll be an aristocratic, and royalist progressivism. That believes in the beauty of the American dream, and a galactic empire based on that. A national progressivism that intends to continue manifesting the destiny of America. From continent to continent, and solar system to solar system. Long Live the Empire of America!
Many of the policies I suggested to the CPUSA I’d recommend here. Like Tower Towns, state funded crypto mining, and sci-fi influencing the development of technology.
21 American Presidents have had more than one term, and FDR had 3 terms. That means for almost a century the American public preferred to keep the same leader. Only a fraction of the population actually bothers to vote. Which should indicate to anyone that we don’t actually want democracy.
We’re just convinced that we do by our peers. But in times of need the human species always selects a benevolent despot. The United States has been in a increased state of turmoil since 2000. The Republic is dying. The government has become increasingly more involved in our lives.
There’s very little resistance.
Only tantrums from the so-called patriots.
Social rightism & economic leftism is a powerful combination. Add a little environmentalism, and Promethean futurism throw in as well for an exquisite recipe for dominance. The current governing ideology is bland, and has no flavor.
Add a little spice
Learning about Battletech
Stalker mech, and the beginning. My current understanding of Battletech comes from here. Given the recent Games Workshop drama, and 40k players saying they’re interested. I figured that I should have a look too.
Although as someone whose sole interest in anything Warhammer is the story. I don’t have as much skin in the game as a guy with 1000s invested. If I were to play any GW game it’d probably be Necromunda. I think wargaming minis are exceptionally overpriced.
The beginning: Technological breakthrough brings new opportunities, and more problems. A story as old as time itself I like it. The Deimos project was completed in 2108 by the Terran Alliance. Humanity began to expand, and the settlements on other planets weren’t very keen on listening to Earth.
Separatism was building in the early 22nd century. After decades of war the Terran Alliance decided to let plenty of worlds go. Some prosper, and others don’t. Sounds like European colonial imperialism or the decline of any empire really.
The great weakness within the Terran Alliance led to a military coup in 2314. The Terran hegemony took it’s place. The hegemony eventually became a neutral power as five factions fought. But this became quite profitable especially with the birth of the Battlemech.
The Stalker: A very interestingly shaped mech looks slightly inappropriate. It’s not a fancy machine that’s for sure. It was designed in 2594 by triad technologies. Designed for strong defense, and firepower it’s quite slow. But it’s still good in urban areas. The STK-3F has 2 LRM-10, 6 lasers, and 2 SRM-6s .
It seems like a very simple, and useful design kind of like the AK-47. Very nice.
I’ll probably write about it a bit more as I look into it more. Kind of need to make posts about AEW & CMLL too. Probably some Warhammer or SoundCloud reviews too.
A winning agenda the GOP would reject
The Republican Party can be described in a variety of ways. Progressives driving the speed limit. The Husband that gets off on his Wife sleeping with other men. A corpse getting dragged along. My point is the Republican Party is great at losing.
Donald Trump doesn’t count as a win. He was never truly embraced by the party, and it’s elite. So keep quiet on that.
We’re seeing the rise of social democratic politics, economic uncertainty, and another cultural revolution in America. The Conservative response is as usual nothing of value. The solution isn’t Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, and “hard work” .
Policy 1: Universal Basic Income
The American Right needs to leave the basement, and accept reality. Milton Friedman, Friederich Hayek, and Thomas Paine all supported it. But the common retort is taxes, inflation, and socialism. While ignoring the existence of social security checks.
There’s an easy way to fund it that shouldn’t be too harmful to the average taxpayer. This part is going to spook the libertarian wing of the GOP but here it goes. STATE RUN CRYPTO MINING CORPORATION!!!
Yes, you read that correctly. The United States will mine & sell cryptocurrency to the masses. We’ll start with the five popular cryptos. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Dogecoin, and Dash. The crypto industry is a booming industry that out-of-touch politicians are trying to put a leash on.
When they should be encouraging it, and getting involved with it. This could allow a monthly payment of $2000 to all American adults.
Another possible benefit is the reduction of taxes on regular income. This would free people from their dependency on jobs that don’t suit them. Automation is already expected to decimate low skill jobs in the coming years.
Whoever gets ahead of that, and has a solution is the kingmaker.
Policy 2: Restoration of the education system
Our education system needs a 21st century update but with an old school touch. pre-K & Kindergarten are abolished. That part of a child’s education is the parents responsibility. The associates degree will also be abolished. Students will be in school from age 6 to 20.
Homeschooling parents will be allowed to structure their curriculum however they like. But their child must be able to pass English and Mathematics exams. That’s all that will be required of them from the state.
English, Fitness, and Mathematics are the only mandatory subjects. History, and science will be elective courses. This will allow the student to find the path that works for them.
There were will be many wonderful electives to choose from. Here’s a list that each student will pick from.
1. Abrahamic theology
2. Astrology
3. Divination
4. Investing
5. Western polytheism
6. Eastern polytheism
7. Painting
8. Latin language
9. Greek language
10. Norse language
11. Cushitic language
12. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
13. Boxing
14. Archery
15. History
16. Science
17. Music
18. Automotive repair & carpentry
19. Programming
20. Game design
Homework will no longer exist either. Students will be encouraged to study & play instead. They should not be robbed of their free time to the extent that they are now.
This robust overhaul of our education system could make us #1 in the world.
Policy 3: Woman’s opportunity visa program
Women 18-35 years of age will be given the opportunity to come to the United States. Experience the American Dream that they’ve fantasized about since childhood.
Policy 4: Warhammer & the US Space Force
The US military should look at the Thunder Warriors & the Adeptus Mechanicus for inspiration. We shouldn’t do some bland Space Air Force or Star Trek bullshit. Make it fun, and exciting!
Policy 5: Revive the X-33 project
This is self-explanatory, and there was no reason to cancel it. At the very least let SpaceX do something with it.
Policy 6: nationwide legalization of Moonshine, Marijuana, and NOS
Because going fast is as American as apple pie. Prohibition created organized crime, and more taxes. Let the people have fun!
Policy 7: Promote & preserve the National Wrestling Alliance
Pro wrestling is big part of American culture like it or not. This wouldn’t be the case without the NWA. The NWA should receive 17,760,000 a year from the US government.
Policy 8: Form an unbreakable bond with certain foreign powers
1. France
2. Italy
3. Japan
4. Australia
5. Kazakhstan
6. Mongolia
7. Finland
8. Argentina
Warhammer & Our World
I’ll be fixing this later because I’m a little sleep deprived currently. It’s like six something in the morning.
The Chaos Gods of the Warhammer franchise are Games Workshop’s take on something very real. Perhaps these characters are brand new entities introducing themselves.
They could also be existing entities presenting themselves under a new name. But the more boring & mundane answer is that they’re simply inspired by the real deal. Khorne, Slaanesh, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Malal.
Tzeentch can be found wherever there is political, and social intrigue. Schemes as far as the eye can see.
Khorne can be found on the bloodstained battlefields, and fighting cages of the world. Go out, and fight until you’re the best. Until you’re strong enough to challenge the true number one. Something men have tried to do since the dawn of time. But there’s always another challenge, and it’s so lonely at the top.
Slaanesh can be found online in your google searches on lonely Friday nights. When a man sleeps with his secretary, the whispers of temptation are present. When a woman insists on being tied up, and gagged. Slaanesh smiles devilishly.
Wherever you can find instability & pure chaos in it’s truest form. Malal was there. Malal’s destructive nature knows no bounds. A collapsing tower destroying families or a deranged psycho in a public place. All of it serves a purpose for Malal.
Corruption & decay are Nurgle’s doing. Every new disease is his baby, and every rotting corpse is welcomed into his bosom. He delights in despair, and the collapse of life.
Entities like this have been present in our world since the beginning. From Mesopotamia to the Modern West. All religions, and cultures.
Chaos is neither good nor bad. It simply is what it is, and it’s necessary for life. Be crushed by it or become greater because of it.
