>>104974 yes in their own way they can be loving and nurturing. that's really their purpose but they were made to live under man's rule not larp as men when convenient because they are living under a safety net provided by men. if left to their own devices most women can be quite evil and debaucherous. the first sin in the bible comes from eve being tempted by evil and adam following her into sin rather than leading. God told eve woman would be ruled by her husband as a result of this. men have a much greater morale compass and ability to reason. there is timeless wisdom there in Genesis even for the non-abrahamic lot, but it has been lost and ignored. look where that has gotten us.

Trix makes me feel safe and warm, despite being surrounded by rapey girls ://3
Her warmth draws me like fire to a moth, And her voice tickles like a silk cloth; She is the light when shrouded by girls, And sweet dreams while my spirit swirls.
why do ppl push the narrative that brandon was an incel then? it sounds like he was fucking bianca on the regular. he literally killed her right after she let him hit it? what a retard. i thought he killed her because she wouldnt let him hit.
>>104931 if you express any sort of sentiment against women they jump to you can't get laid, you'll never have this pussy, you have a small dick. this is what they say about anyone that offers the slightest bit of critique on women so killing a girl certainly makes someone an incel in their eyes.
I’ve heard that she was given the name “oxychan” because she allegedly “blackmailed” for oxycontin even tho we literally have no proof she did and apparently marc was on her account. Makes me kinda wonder if she came up with that name herself just to be edgy would make sense since some of her other socials had drug-related names
Yes, I hate women, I just do, and I'm tired of pretending that I don't.
All the pain, all the suffering I have ever experienced can be ultimately traced back to the female race.
Elliot was right, I was in touch with humanity before women and sex came into the picture, before I hit puberty.
It hit me yesterday like a train that the happiest period of my life was when women existed somewhere there on the periphery of my mind. Like unsettling premonition, a bitter taste of things to come.
"So simple" - I thought, - "How could I not notice this before?"
And an answer straight away - "That's what trauma does to you, your mind tries to sweep it under the rug of consciousness"
Yes, now I finally, finally get it - I was brutally violated. No more running away, no more hiding.
I hate women for how they collectively ruined society but the men who uphold the new female world order are also if not more detestable. >picrel They are so desperate for female validation that they'll just forfeit their entire lives and brag about it publicly, even inciting other men to do the same. It's getting worse, the old manosphere influencers tried to convince you it's normal women don't show interest in you and you need to just get rich so some foid will settle with you for money, and you should be okay with that. Now they're just saying you should just be a straight up slave to women or you dont deserve love
>>104987 I kind of agree with what he's saying but men enduring and providing that happiness is part of a social contract that many women refuse to honor their part of. he's also right to categorize women and children together. women are like children in they are always wanting, never satisfied and always looking to the next thing they need to fulfil them and coveting what others have. women chase "happiness" but they never find it do they? there's always something else. it's a bottomless pit
>>104989 >a social contract that many women refuse to honor their part of That's kinda the whole origin of the problem. Women want the best of both worlds. They wanna get all the benefits without any of the downsides or work involved. Just look at all the double standards about Equality. It's "Equality" when it's time to benefit them, but when it benefits men, it's immediately "You're a man.".
Honestly, it hurts that I'll never truly know and understand her. All I have is a few of youtube videos and discord screenshots. I stare at her pictures for hours with unanswered questions fantasizing her replies. No girl will ever be able to fill my heart like her.I hope we can meet in the end. Mets win

Alright, already went into detail on this all the way back here:>>8898 but these two characters still dominated my mind. There whole existence was just as placeholders and were barely/never used again (Archer I know was used at least once or twice, but I don't know on Sun Gl3mmer--yes, bypassing our longstanding filter with this spelling). There is a certain level of undue haunted fascination with such a thing for me! There is just part of me that wants to make fan fiction/art/elaborate schizo posting.
PUTS ON TINFOIL HAT: The obvious in universe explanation is that Sun Umbridge/Gl3mmer/GIimmer was replaced metaphysically by Sweetie Belle! Archer escaped this fate by being an Earth Pony, and Scootaloo, being meant to replace an earth pony is the reason why she doesn't have fully developed wings and can't fly well.
Hehehe, yeah, enough craziness for now. Some of these concepts though could be fun. I will be referring to this pair of mostly discarded background ponies kidnapped or otherwise missing ponies in the future.
As for anything else:
>Twilight brief attempt to magic up cutie marks but I still have more fun at Twilight trying to begrudgingly alter the natural flow of nature! Mean this unironically. Twilight Sparkle should be more than cable of putting a fake mark on a flank if that is all she was doing.
The adults laughing along/softly abetting Diamond Tiara's behavior at the party does feel slightl weird though. In this case, it was just background ponies laughing along a bit. Maybe I'll headcanon it to older teens. Mane 6 themselves seem more ignorant or not caring of the bullying, but never in a way (that I can recall?) being more then ignorance. Twilight Sparkle arguably did see some of it here (though might have only noticed when Sweetie and Scoots did stand up for Apple Bloom and thus would've had no reason to intervene) . The crowd changes at a drop of a hat when Scoootaloo and Sweetie Belle defend Apple Bloom, we see this in latter episodes where ponies often rush in seemingly immature ways and I've always liked the idea that was "herd mentality" of the race, rather than everypony being just jerks and it would make some sense. I guess I'll have to watch more episodes before I can decide how much of at fault anypony is here though.
"I wish I could be a scientist." Is interesting throwaway line, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle having swayed the crowd towards Apple Bloom and convincing them (however briefly for one episode) being a blank flank is cool. Can a pony be unhappy with their Cutie Mark? ( I lean towards no) but in this overthinking mode it is something I can think about. I recall seeing this in some fanfics way back in the earlier days (2011, 2012) but I don't remember much of anything about them.
So, the CMC origin episode – this is I think the first one I remember not being so keen on. I like the CMC in general, I think they make a valuable contribution to the show (especially since this franchise has historically been a bit confused as to precisely what age group to aim toward, and the CMC in this regard seem to me like a fairly elegant solution), so what’s the problem with this episode? From my memory of it, I think it’s that Apple Bloom is having to carry the episode essentially on her own, where I think she in particular seems to work better as part of the CMC group dynamic. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle’s focus episodes stick out more in my mind, where they’re solidly supporting their own episode.
The opening shot is neat, establishing the theme visually by moving from cutie mark to cutie mark. A point of interest for me was when Cheerilee is explaining how she got her cutie mark, and she details what it symbolises. The two obvious theories are that it’s either her interpretation or the cutie mark grants some innate knowledge of it’s symbolism. I have to say I lean very heavily toward the latter, symbology plays such an important role in the magic of this universe and in pony society generally that I simply cannot imagine the symbolism of a cutie mark being a matter of mere interpretation. It’s too innate to who the ponies are, and the reassurance in life that they draw from it I can only imagine would be a whole lot less reassuring if one could be uncertain of what a cutie mark meant. It serves a fairly limited purpose socially if there can be no guarantee of it’s meaning. It also occurs to me that society would essentially depend on the presumption that what the pony in question says their cutie mark symbolises is correct, lending further credence, in my mind, to the innateness theory. It is a very nice thought, down this thinking lane, to imagine being a pony and applying for a job. Unlike in our world where there’s total uncertainty of how to determine someone’s talents and so the entire educational system and structure of entry-level jobs revolve around ways of divining exactly what someone’s talents are (and quite imprecisely at that), in Equestria the talents of a pony shine through them so brightly that it’s even got a physical manifestation. The emphasis on the uniqueness of cutie marks (even though in background animation we see several duplicates all the time, the hourglass cutie mark is particularly common leading to a theory I’ve read where ponies with that cutie mark are in fact time travellers) also suggests to me that the Equestrian economy must be remarkably un-standardised, perhaps borne out by the pre-industrial society that we see in the show. After all, how could society in Equestria move past the reliance on the crafts? Things like the Flim-Flam brother’s machine don’t just threaten jobs, as they did in our world, they threaten the fundamental fabric of Equestrian society.
When Apple Bloom gets home and is complaining to Applejack, Applejack talking about how Granny Smith and Big Macintosh getting their cutie marks last in their class, just as she did, was intriguing. I got the impression that Applejack got hers later because at first she had tried doing something other than being around on the family farm, and when she later came to accept it the cutie mark appeared as a result. But if it was predestined (which is implied but not entirely confirmed by the fact that cutie marks stay the same once you’ve got them, they don’t change over time) then seemingly the long-running trait of apple cutie marks in the family suggests you could hack the system and just embrace the family talent earlier, the exact idea Apple Bloom gets. So did Big Macintosh and Granny Smith not do that? Were they reluctant like Applejack was? I suppose the easiest answer would be that enthusiasm and passion can’t be forced, and it simply took them both a while to find passion in their family traditions, but again it suggests something about all their characters that it took them all so long.
As we get into Apple Bloom’s… Shenanigans. It’s not an original take, but I do find her antics a little tedious. Not annoying as such, but just a little bit tiresome, where I’m not actively disliking what I’m watching, but I’m not really compelled by it either. However, it does occur to me that a younger viewer watching this probably gets these annoyed reactions from adults, particularly if they’re energetic and confident like Apple Bloom, so in a way my reaction to her antics might be reflective of her character’s accuracy.
Poor Twist gets left behind after this episode, but I definitely remember having friends in school who I was friends with just because we were both losers. It’s an accurate element but a slightly harsh one, softened by it being more of a background detail.
All the stuff with Rainbow Dash is quite fun – but that’s really all I have to say about it. I could pick apart details of the karate scene, but it seems like more of a gag bit to me. I also like Pinkie’s approach after Dash’s spirited but doomed attempt to help Apple Bloom, where it seems like Pinkie is moreso trying to cheer up Apple Bloom than actually find her talent in a relatively logical way like Dash was. When Twilight shows up, I’m interested that Apple Bloom knows of her magical prowess. Obviously she’ll know a bit from Applejack and a bit from the Zecora situation, but would she really gather that Twilight’s that good at magic without there being a reputation in town she’d have learned that from? I think possibly this is reflecting a post-Boast Busters situation where now Twilight has a certain reputation in Ponyville.
I love the classic party music once the party starts. I wonder, did Pinkie keep Apple Bloom busy at Sugarcube Corner with the intention of helping her overcome her fear of going to the party? It’s always tricky to discern intention with Pinkie.
Again no notes about the party and the reveal of Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, just pretty solid and I liked it. After they’ve formed their group, though, I do like the detail that Twilight, writing the letter to Celestia, writes with the certainty that Celestia will genuinely want to hear about simply “one of her youngest subjects”. It’s almost like stealth-characterisation of Celestia, I really like it. Although the closing shot of Celestia’s cutie mark does get the brain jogging – how could she have gotten that before having the Alicorn power to raise the sun? Was she a unicorn before that helped other unicorns raise the sun? Or born an Alicorn but discovered the power to raise the sun later? Many questions, but I’m glad canon didn’t answer them. I don’t think the show could have pulled off an “how Celestia got her cutie mark” episode well enough to justify it.
Somehow I mistook which episode number Winter Wrap Up was, so those filenames say episode 12 when actually this one is episode 12. I saw this confusion only after taking the first screenshot – I forgot to take them while I was writing the review like I usually do, and I watch the episode without pausing to take notes first so that I can enjoy it fully, so I ended up watching this episode three times. I have to say, Apple Bloom wasn’t as annoying as I remembered her being, but I’m still not as keen on this episode compared to later CMC episodes. It’s still got elements I enjoy, but these elements are moreso just a bit of fun, I wasn’t finding myself overly invested in them. With that in mind, I think I’ll put this episode at around 5.9.
>>11183 Well-restedness and comfyness acquired! (As represented by Sunny here) Although, I do seem to have come down with a mild case of con flu. (lemme know if you wanna hear more about con, I'll message you) >>11187 >She feels like a real child character as opposed to an adult in a child's body with less anatomy and I think this feat is even more impressive when you consider that the adults in this show have that innocence to them to varying degrees. Definitely. I think the main way I see them as having managed this is Apple Bloom still learning about things like trust and boundaries. She trusts Pinkie, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle quickly and easily, and she crosses boundaries more with her aggressive salesponyship and petulant complaints about not having a cutie mark to the Mane 6. It's more complex of a characterisation than that, of course, but those were the main things I noticed. >This is one of the episode's that I see some say Twilight was shoehorned in I agree with your points on this, but I also wanted to note that in this episode, following both Boast Busters and Winter Wrap Up, we see Twilight occupying a much more respected and integrated role in the community. She's regarded as important, just as she was in Applebuck Season, but now the awkwardness of this has dissipated and she feels to much more naturally occupy that role in Ponyville society. Once again, the show has a kind of continuity, one which at least in my experience can tend to go overlooked. >>11188 >The obvious in universe explanation is that Sun Umbridge/Gl3mmer/GIimmer was replaced metaphysically by Sweetie Belle! I like this. Malleable reality does so much as a concept - it's close to feelings we have irl, at least for me, it explains certain plot holes, and it has a creepy unease more in the classy vein of Lovecraft than of cheap scares. Unnerving in that way that only phenomena beyond even enough comprehensibility to assign it malice can be. But also nice to keep such thoughts in the theorybox, where the show can just be it's comfy self too. I like to think of both coexisting, somehow. >Mean this unironically. Twilight Sparkle should be more than cable of putting a fake mark on a flank if that is all she was doing. It kinda plays into my theory. Since the magic of harmony is stronger than that of any other magic that we see in the series, if harmony is the cosmic force driving the natural role ponies play in making the world a better place, then I'd posit that cutie marks are also one of harmony's many functions. Magic can override certain elements of the natural world, but where harmony is acting directly, as a force, the show is very clear that nothing can really stand up to it in the end. Even fake marks would go against the natural harmony of pony society, so I think even that makes sense. Canon changes on this later on of course, with Glimmy managing to alter cutie marks, although even there the best she can do is physically separate them from the pony, not eliminate or change them fundamentally.
Welcome to Golden Oaks! Sit back and get /comfy/ and dive into the vast amounts of data across the web that has been generated by the MLP fandom.
What is Golden Oaks?
Golden Oaks is /endpone/'s archival and analysis thread devoted to the rather broad topic of the fandom itself. Active archival is a major feature, but a variety of topics are also active points of discussion. From analysis of trends and situations, to self reflection and representation (Some /tech/ discussion related to that end is welcome as well!).
What is Golden Oaks not?
Golden Oaks is not for the simple dissuasion of the latest scandal within the fandom or gossip about X. These subjects maybe relevant at times in the discussion of certain happenings and periods within the fandom, but the thread itself shouldn't dive into drama without reason.
What is this place?
This is the Endchan's pony board. While we are microscopic we have regular posting and a fairly distinct culture as can be with a handful of anons and drifters. /go/ welcomes outside contributions. Feel free to look around.
Current /NMAiE/: >>8915

You make and edit and do a bunch of little modifications and bash scripting all the time. Plus having some knowledge of programing, would put you at least just above that tier in my book.

>>11182 My system could basically handle everything ("checking resume data" completed) up until I changed the save paths to IPFS on about two of them, upping the torrents' total file count to half a million. Then it took too long and/or had other problems. For me, the "max" total file count of FUSE-mounted torrents is about a quarter of a million. I dropped it to be roughly 150,000 or 100,000 total to be faster.
With qBittorrent, there's like five main data things. (1). BitTorrent seed files: only one .torrent file per info hash, so in $HOME/.local/share/data/qBittorrent/BT_backup/ you can't have both the original and itorrents one. (2) Resume files: each .fastresume file in "BT_backup" contains info like save path and percent downloaded. Like TORRENT files, FASTRESUME files are bencoded and usually contain binary data. Each .fastresume file should contain the entirety of the info that the qBittorrent GUI tells you about each torrent, stats like how much was downloaded, amount uploaded, and share ratio. (3) Save path: whichever folder you picked to download the torrent to or whichever file or folder you picked when creating a torrent. (4) Logs: info logged in ./qBittorrent/logs/. (5) Session data in memory, which is accumulated into .fastresume files. Has info like how much was uploaded of a torrent while the current qBittorrent PID has been active/running. If you pause an uploading torrent then that resets how much you uploaded of that torrent for that session to zero in the GUI.
When "testing", I modified the save paths of those many-files torrents >problem = it tries to check all 8 all at once [>>11182] by changing what was written in the FASTRESUME file for each of the eight:
That did successfully change the paths to nonexistent ones, such as: >qBt-savePath52:/ipfs/_QmWsSMs83bRJ5JVsPryR1sH4wMBL4ZB7eRqKhwjXwR7b4Q14 However, the unexpected thing is after doing that, I launched qBittorrent and those 8 torrents didn't show up at all. Don't know what the dealio is with that. Maybe sed changed other data in that binary file like a text editor might do (safer to have sed or vim edit plain text files which have no binary data). Maybe the bencoding became invalid somehow (like if there's a field which says the length of the save path). Maybe some other thing to "safeguard" qBittorrent when those files get edited by something external. IDK. Anyways, I have backups of those FASTRESUMEs, so it's "fine".
>>11156 >4.4 terabytes of torrents: >/ipfs/QmWKGSSDn7C73NhCZPq1bCZDfEQstndLbgQoQz1QZGFnYH That links to 99.9% complete "4chan_gif_2023_06.zip" torrent at
>>11166 Rainbow Dash looks really sexy in those images.
>>11142 >However, Tor and torsocks do not work in that distro release True if certain files or folders are owned by the wrong entities or in the wrong group. Error messages could maybe be more specific in detailing that, but muh privacy. So those two programs do work in that OS release.
>>11191 >Maybe the bencoding became invalid somehow (like if there's a field which says the length of the save path). Yes, that one. Invalid+invalid: >qbt-savepath52:/ipfs/_QmWsSMs... "52" indicates the length of the save path. "_" was added, so it would be "53:/ipfs/_..." to be valid+invalid. The other use case would be to bencode ("B encode", not "Ben code") valid+valid. With Ponibooru-Safe-All torrent, even after hours, qBittorrent still doesn't finish moving it from /path/to/deadhdd/ to /ipfs/.../. Maybe qBittorrent should have two options for move: "regular move" and "move to read-only location", and the latter would go from "Moving" to some other status faster. Or, edit the fastresume files while qBittorrent is not running to say "qbt-savepath52:/ipfs/Qm..." or whatever the character for /ipfs/ba... is.
>>11185 Nice, upgraded to low-level programmer, if I'm being modest(?).

I can locally duplicate larger folders (>100GB) from one HDD to another in a somewhat fault-tolerant way. However, it goes slower than I want and is tolerant of network disconnects but not computer shutdowns. I have set HPC to 85% on all cpu_freq things (CPU throttled) = no thermal shutdowns over days even with higher fan speeds sometimes. (Maybe only works in a non-hot environment, so not on hot days.) HPC pinning something relatively large = ipfs daemon can die (running "ipfs pin add --progress cid"). So, pin it this way instead, which is less intensive and therefore works better: "ipfs dag export cid | ipfs dag import --stats #; ipfs pin add cid" (running in GNU screen). This is how slow it is: >133h33m35s 156.68 GiB / ? [--] 341.70 KiB/s That's with a folder which contains ISOs of about 260 GB of pornographic DVDs: >https://bafybeiat5qb276e3wtbaw7624cut2k5hd7n5wta45rfsxoa7aseznzjfuu.ipfs2.eth.limo/ That folder contains a small amount of large files; all of it is raw blocks at 1M chunks.
156.68 GiB over 133 hours and 33 minutes is factoring in the too many times that HPC disconnected from the LAN for hours. If it had a more steady/unbreakable connection like MPC, then more would have been copied sooner. That many GiBs over 5.565 days = a pitiful 28.15 GiB per day at 325.86 KB/s (156680000000B/480816s). Around 300 KB/s = kinda like the minimum tolerable torrent download/upload speed. Local transfers should be faster. How-to make it go faster - with ipfs daemon running ("online"): >$ ipfs dag export cid | ipfs --offline dag import --stats #; ipfs pin add cid Offline - fault-tolerant of computer shutdowns but only tolerant of network disconnects per-file unless doing the rsync partial/hashing thing:

Any more tech tools or suggestions are welcome here.
If you use Javascript just be sure to use more secured web browsers like Librewolf, and make sure to use about:config tweaks to disable some vulnerabilities like telemetry, WebGL, WebRTC and geo-location APIs which could expose you behind your VPN or proxy. Best to turn off auto-updates too because auto-updates often restore the vulnerable default settings without notice and can interfere with other privacy add-ons.

Ever wonder why catnip lulls felines into a trance? The herb contains several chemical compounds, including one called nepetalactone, which a cat detects with receptors in its nose and mouth.
More than half of the world’s felines don’t respond to catnip. Scientists still don’t know quite why some kitties go crazy for the aromatic herb and others don’t, but they have figured out that catnip sensitivity is hereditary. If a kitten has one catnip-sensitive parent, there’s a one-in-two chance that it will also grow up to crave the plant. And if both parents react to 'nip, the odds increase to at least three in four.

Time to list some must-see films I think anons should watch before SHTF.
What counts as a good film for me? Story must be intriguing and get you hooked. Acting must be good, believable and unique. Also, I prefer more realistic movies, but it doesn't have to be if the movie is a top notch classic with a great story and incredible acting.
Go ahead and make your own recommended lists if you like, and if you do, please post the titles and release dates!

All your desires for posting NSFW content. Check the catalog first before creating another thread and post all that material here.
We have been discussing a lot about the spirit of this board and while it remains for the most part SFW, I do believe that /endpone/ should set up a proper regulated thread for this material.
Now, I am providing to you the rules of this thread. A lot of people go crazy when NSFW appears into the game, so let me explain a few observations and essential norms that should make everything clear:
ESSENTIAL (must read)
1. The three basic rules of Endchan are applied, especially those who have intentions to post real life pornography. Only fictional content related.
2. This is NOT /b/. Endless shitposting and taking advantage of the NSFW nature for derailing the thread with spam/low quality posts that prevent the usual activity (breaking the 3rd rule of Endchan) will not be tolerated.
3.The OP image for the thread must be SFW.
4.This does not necessarily preclude the creation of other threads that relate to NSFW topics, but this is the only thread in which you can post unspoiled NSFW pictures and is intended to be the main hub for such discussion.
Finally got AI to produce Little Pip! And it almost got the glowing pools of green right. ..And that might be a revolver, though it looks more like an SBR. ANYway! Mission mostly accomplished. I think.
Alright, /b/, buckle up. What if Elon Musk has been working with Trump to fight the deep state and expose an alien conspiracy? Sounds wild, but let’s connect the dots.
Elon’s obsession with space and Mars isn’t just a billionaire’s dream. It started ramping up when Trump became president, right? Trump wasn’t part of the deep state’s plan, and here’s the kicker: the deep state has been working with aliens—not the little green ones, but interdimensional beings controlling humanity for centuries.
Trump’s “drain the swamp” slogan? People thought it was about corrupt politicians, but it was bigger. The deep state has been hiding the truth about these aliens. Trump found out, and they tried to stop him. Space Force wasn’t a meme; it was a front to prepare for a real battle in space, where these aliens have been operating behind the scenes.
And Musk? SpaceX, AI, Neuralink—all part of a plan to break free from alien control. The Mars mission isn’t just about colonizing another planet; it’s Plan B if things go sideways with these beings. AI and Neuralink are Musk’s way of communicating with them directly. These aliens don’t speak in languages; they use energy, frequencies, and vibrations.
Why do you think Trump faced so much opposition? The deep state didn’t want him getting too close to the truth. Impeachments, scandals—they threw everything at him.
Now, the UFO disclosures last year? That’s the deep state’s way of slowly prepping us for the truth, so it doesn’t all come out at once. They don’t want Trump or Elon to blow it wide open.
Bottom line: Trump and Musk are trying to save humanity from an alien-deep state alliance. SpaceX, AI, and Mars are all pieces of the puzzle. We’re just along for the ride.
TL;DR: Elon and Trump are secretly fighting a deep state-alien alliance, and Mars is our backup plan if things go wrong.
Thoughts, /b/? Too crazy, or does it actually make sense?
>>53862 No, big wigs like Elon Musk and Donald Trump come from the old guard of traditional capitalist Americana, the days America thrived and prospered enormously. The problem is, like most other hard working Americans, they see the writing on the wall and notice the internal threats we have in this nation who have extremely radical self-serving and destructive policies: both failed foreign and domestic policy. They understand this nation is in danger of being usurped and destroyed from within by hostile actors and extremely selfish, if not treacherous, special interests on a global scale. These same corrupt special interests would be more than willing to kill others who wish to curb their influence and power over the country. So there is very much a traditional capitalist old guard fighting off a totalitarian neo-feudalist self-serving war-mongering class. Both sides in this political conflict are wealthy, one side knows they would have never had the chance to become rich had the same level of despotism and self-serving destruction existed back 50+ years ago. So one side is fighting for the old America. The other wants America destroyed and transitioned into peasantry and totalitarian serfdom.
