Yeah, I wasn't sure how to handle that one. The closest English equivalent, to capture the meaning, and implied object, that you might also actually see on a sign like that, is probably "Feeding Forbidden". People might be confused about how 5 words turned into 2 though. But I guess that's just French being French.
Niggerization does sound more natural in English but I was looking for a way to achieve the effect with a prefix, to be as faithful to the original as possible. After all, it doesn't say "Negerizierung" which would have been the exact equivalent of -ization.
The original reads "Vernegerung" btw... the V just looks a bit like a B in the stylized script used. I do also like the ring of beniggering, and considered it, but then I would have expected the German to be "Benegerung". Anyway, probably overthinking it.
The cause of the genetic gap is actually well-studied and published. The results just aren't popularized in media, for obvious reasons. And most people don't even know these studies exist, let alone try to read them.
All races of Humans everywhere - across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the Americas, and the various island tribes - have varying percentages of Neanderthal DNA, typically ranging from 2% to 10%, and up to around 20% in some populations. The Negro has zero traces of Neanderthal DNA.
All races of Humans everywhere have zero traces of DNA specific to Homo Erectus. It was thought to have been an extinct evolutionary branch until relatively recently. Then it was discovered that all Negroes everywhere carry significant Homo Erectus admixture, along with other archaic hominids unrelated to us, typically around 4% to 10%.
Neanderthals last lived around 250,000 years ago, and diverged from our last common ancestor long before that.
Homo Erectus last lived around 1,000,000 years ago, and diverged from our last common ancestor long before that.
This explains the massive genetic difference between Humans and Negroes. It also conclusively discredits the "we all came from Africa 40,000 years ago" fairy tale. They are a completely different species from us. Their ancestors intermixed with archaic hominids which haven't existed in a million years, and which our ancestors never interacted with (or at least had the good sense not to breed with).
If you just look at Homo Erectus skulls and reconstructions, it really sums it up quite well:
They're upright wings, not kites. They don't need to catch the wind from behind. In fact, sails are more effective when it comes from the side or front. You can sail almost directly into the wind, with a very small dead zone which can be avoided with a tight zig-zag pattern. You can adjust them for fair weather and stormy conditions. The masts can transfer the load more evenly across the hull. The keel helps cut a channel through the water and stabilizes the ship. Sailing ships are beautiful feats of human ingenuity and engineering.
This abomination is idiocratic degeneration in action.
I don't have any hands-on experience with it (yet), but the PinePhone Pro is probably the best option currently for a functional daily driver Linux phone.
It's not quite the full flagship phone experience, but it's getting close to it. And it comes with a lot of privacy features like physical switches for things like mic, camera, etc. Unlike the Librem 5, which turned out to be overpriced almost-vaporware, it's also reasonably priced and actually gets delivered from the looks of it.
Have a look around for videos / reviews from people who have one.
The other option would be flashing an android phone with a custom rom. But, from when I looked into doing that (which was a while back, so may be outdated), it seemed like you were severely limited in which phones were supported, many had issues, you risked bricking the phone, etc. The PinePhone comes with Manjaro Plasma out of the box.
Edit: Reading up on it a bit, it seems many people report the Pro version goes through the battery pretty fast and gets quite warm due to the processor they used. The older non-Pro PinePhone didn't have that problem, but is very slow. So still not quite ready for regular use, unless you're willing to put up with those limitations. Maybe in a couple of years.
The entire approach to the subject is wrong. The manner of thinking is too petty and small-minded.
All modern wars are financial. We are in a financial war against our enemies. And they're winning. Why?
Because they have no reservations about pandering to us. They'll make what they know we'll buy. They sell it to us. They get rich from it. Then they use that capital to influence the masses, to campaign, to lobby, to buy companies, to drive policy, etc. That's how you win a financial war.
The fags want a dick cake? Great! Bake it. Charge them double for the custom job. Add a surcharge for skilled labor. And an administrative fee for adult content. Take the money and invest it in pushing a cause you believe in.
Never refuse to take money from the enemy. Utterly foolish. That's how you lose a financial war.
Buy from the right. Sell to the left.
Until we are rich enough to shape the future, and they are too poor to stop us.
Like I said; a very mixed people with admixture from surrounding countries. Many of which are Slavic. But that's not the dominant basis of their genetics. Which you can see just by looking at them. Or listening to them. Or looking at their names. Etc. Same as with Afro-Americans clearly not being White.
I don't know where you get the idea that I "want" them to be Romans, when I clearly said they are a very mixed people.
I also don't know why **you** want them to be Slavs so badly.
Romanians don't sound like Slavs, don't look like Slavs, and don't behave like Slavs. They are not Slavs linguistically. They are not Slavs culturally. And they are not Slavs genetically. They are not Slavs. No matter how embarrassed you are about being wrong.
You're also wrong about the etymology of the word Slav. The root of that word is the same as "slava" (freedom/glory) and slovo (word/language). IE, a free people with a shared language. Slavic people were calling themselves by early versions of that term well before the Roman conquest of Dacia. And Dacians, by the way, were not calling themselves any form of Slav. Because they were not Slavs. And their language, prior to the Roman conquest, was a Thracian dialect. Not a Slavic language.
If anything, the modern word "slave" was a mistaken derivation from "Slav", not the other way around.
"Slavic" arguably has more to do with language and culture than genes, depending on who you ask. That's why I mentioned the language. In a single sentence. Everything else I said is about genetics.
Romanians are not Slavs, by any measure or metric.
They're a very mixed people, but for the most part their ancestry traces to the Romans (hence the name), with admixture from surrounding countries. Their language is closer to Latin than modern Italian.
Lots of German and Hungarian admixture in Transylvania and surrounding regions, too, due to being part of the Austria-Hungarian empire, and German settlers previously populating the regions that are now North-East Romania and Western Ukraine during the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire.
In German, you capitalize all nouns. In English, you only capitalize proper nouns.
Since jews apparently don't consider "White" a proper noun or proper adjective in the context of our people, as they refuse to capitalize it, even though they do capitalize "Black" in their press, it's only fair we return the favor.
If anything, it makes more sense in their case. Since jews are not a people, as there are jews of just about every race. And jews are not a religion, as there are many atheist jews. The whole concept of jewishness is clearly just a social construct.
The war is being run by Putin. For his delusional ambitions of restoring and expanding multicultural communist Russia.
But, yes, Kikensky sure doesn't mind getting rich and famous off of sending young White men into the slaughter. He would have been a nobody without Putin though. Nor would there be a slaughter to send them to.
> I get what you're saying about weeding out defective stock but bad information isn't genetic.
Which is why I said we should put our message out in the world and make it as compelling as we can.
I'm just not naive enough to expect everyone will listen. Nor soft enough to wish they did.
Bad information is not genetic. But gullibility is. Cowardice is. Tendency for treason is. Balance between in-group and out-group preference is. Disposition towards a martyr complex is. Susceptibility to guilt trips is. Addiction to virtue point gathering is. Along with so many other factors that caused him to end up the way he his.
Again, we should absolutely work towards putting good information out in the world, as well as combating bad information.
But bad information isn't the only thing that brought us here. And pretending it is, is just more bad information.
That sorry excuse of a man grew up in the same world you and I did. We were exposed to the same relentless indoctrination he was.
And yet, here we are. And yet, there he is.
We saw through it, and fought our way out. He leaned into it, and let it consume him.
We are not the same.
Both nature and nurture matter. Yes, our nurture has been corrupted and we must fix this. But his nature is not the same as ours. No matter how similar we look. No matter what we tell him. Dragging people like him along, into the better future we strive for, as they kick and scream and fight us every step of the way, is a burden we cannot afford to carry. Nor should we want to. They don't deserve it.
Padding our numbers is pointless, if what we're padding them with is this kind genetic dead weight. It will only drag us back down. Because having too many gullible fools like this among us is how we got here in the first place.
We should put our message out in the world. We should craft it well; make it as compelling as we can. So that all those who hear it, and whose souls it resonates with, shall come and join us. But those who don't hear it, those who don't feel it, those who don't want it, and who would spit and curse at us for loving our own and wanting to secure a future for our children... they are not of us. Not anymore. They wear our skin; but their souls are rotten to the core. There is no saving them. And we should not mourn their loss.
And what have these alleged "feds larping as Nazis" done to harm pro-White interests?
The only people I see damaging the pro-White cause here are the ProudGoys, by attacking, doxxing, and defaming a pro-White group with no apparent reason or evidence, and everyone jumping on the bandwagon to cheer for and participate in the ensuing infighting and finger pointing. In other words, people like you.
OP may have a different method, but you can use Stable Diffusion with ControlNet extension to achieve this effect.

Edit:
Just to demonstrate, here's some quick electro-goats:
If they do that, the next warlord to march on Moscow won't stop or take any deals.
In any case, Putin looks very weak now. His armed forces wouldn't or couldn't stop Wagner. He had to send his lackey to broker a deal to save himself. The result of which is that the perpetrators of the armed coup attempt get off without even a slap on the wrist, and likely gained concessions behind the scenes. Looking weak is a dangerous thing for a Russian leader.
Sure, in retrospect, we know exactly how many trips it would survive. In retrospect. How does that help?
Without a time machine, you wouldn't know how many test dives to run. And, with a time machine, you wouldn't need to test at all. Again: it degrades with every use. So what if it survived 20 test dives? All that would tell you is that you're 20 dives closer to failure. It would tell you nothing about the next dive being safe.
I suppose you could test one hull until failure and then build another. But, with the amount of corner cutting they were doing, clearly that wouldn't be on the menu. And, even if they did that, assuming the next hull will survive just as many dives wouldn't be reasonable either. There's no way to guarantee that with an experimental production process that involves a material that degrades unpredictably.
Testing only works with things that behave and fail consistently and predictably. The whole thing was doomed from the start, precisely because their material and engineering choices made their system untestable.
> Uhh… obviously this incident is absolute proof this isn’t true.
The other points I'm happy to defer on, they don't really matter. But here I really don't follow your reasoning.
The sub successfully dove to the Titanic several times before without imploding. It also dove to other sites without imploding.
This time it imploded. How is that "obviously" "absolute proof" that the hull doesn't degrade with every use? How do you not understand that running 20 unmanned tests wouldn't help, because it could very well implode on the 21st dive? They had no means for measuring hull degradation until it became severe enough to lead to catastrophic failure.
The issue here was the materials used and poor engineering decisions. Not the lack of unmanned test runs.
Putin folded and gave in to demands from a private army that took two major cities and got within 200 km of Moscow in under 24 hours. After publicly calling them traitors and declaring they will be defeated and face ultimate punishment. That is not nothing. But, sure, go ahead and pretend otherwise.
