Frankly I see a blanket ban on foreign students would be a huge win. No more foreign spies and agitators, deprives (worthless and often counterproductive) academia of a vast funding source.

There was an old argument that foreign students would learn to love America, and would stay and improve the country. Those days are long gone.

Deporting Hamasniks essential for disrupting the Colour Revolution that the Democrats are rolling out. But it is only a first step.

The willingness of the Left to work with the Muslim Brotherhood and PFLP etc indicate that things are likely to get very nasty in the foreseeable future. No sane political actor in either East or West has any illusions about these types. Presumably the powers that be pulling the strings plan on mayhem.

This all echoes the last days of the USSR when the KGB in Azerbaijan sponsored anti-Armenian pogroms in Baku.

Thankfully America still has a solid core of mentally and morally functioning people, as we can see from the vote for Trump.

Agreed, but a quibble.

Reforming American Academia “That’s a serious project which will take a long time.”

No, it doesn’t. 🔥

And no it won’t.

You forget we don’t care if we’re “the most moral Army on Earth”?

Or the most moral anything?

We never did. Not really.

America is a Protestant country, no Immaculate Conception required, and guilt trips are cancelled.

The word 'reform' is the managerial equivalent of a whore's orgasm.

I think one of the big issue with vanning people that Yarvin points out is the escalation ladder, so this will give permissions to the Dems to deport their own opponents next time they are in power.

As a non-American, I am all for this craziness :)

I don't know where you were for the Obama and Biden administrations, but there's not a ton that they could have done to the right and didn't.

The idea that they will deport right wing education and sociology immigrants is funny. First, they don't exist, second, another democratic administration will end the US regardless.

I believe there is much worse they can do, they will copy Trump excessive use of executive orders to get anything they want/can, will pardon anyone who'll pay them (stuff Trump did), and will use the legal system even more aggressively

And there will obviously be another Dem administration, it will not end the US, just keep on degrading it, unless you believe secession will happen, it's possible, but I think unlikely

Another Dem admin means the import and legalization of enough third worlders into swing states to make the US a uniparty country forever.

After the Biden pardons, the January 6th persecutions, the various fed shenanigans, the Trump charges, I don't think there's any point in trying to maintain the one-sided pretense of gentility.

If the Democrats regain the White House after this term, Trump will go to gaol, his kids will be ruined and his grand-kids exiled or blacklisted.

Reciprocal moderation at the heart of modern Anglo politics is impossible now. The Democrats are not 17th or 18th century English gentlemen. Even if they were, they survive politically by catering to a mass of existentially dissatisfied constituencies that are too malicious for compromise or restraint. The activists and organisers in particular are seriously unbalanced and eager for cinflict.

The Anglo, Angloid and white peoples now face a situation eerily akin to that of Jews in 19th c Europe. Herzl realised that the rise of mass politics reduced the capacity of the European regimes to maintain the sort of tolerance that Jews had attained during the 19th c. Thanks to mass migration from the Global South whites across the West face coalitions of minorities that are united by a shared enmity towards them and the institutional protections of limited gov't, impartial civil courts and private property no longer function as before.

If MAGA is successful, some kind of social peace is possible. If not, a muted version of South Africa ensues.

So you are saying the US is already done for

I don't see how they dig themselves out too, but who knows

I hope IL is prepping for it, but I’m pretty sure they don't

The US isn't done for, but this admin may represent the last hope for its current incarnation.

“ will pardon anyone who'll pay them (stuff Trump did), ”

Clinton and Biden both already did this. Next Democrat administration will certainly do it.

Everyone who can be legally deported should be. There's no good reason to have so many immigrants in the US.
