As you all know, I was not in a debate the other night. Unfortunately, my opponent and I had a falling out (its a long story) but rest assured I did debate last night.
As far as 9 years goes, I will release the first part on the blog tonight, since I will be out of town until new years. I'll finish it up as I'll have plenty of free time. I’ll see you guys in 2019!

I'm in a debate tonight!
I know I haven't been very political on this blog before, so if you're not interested in hearing this debate because fuck politics, I completely understand. I just wanted to try something new out and see how it goes.
I challenged the grand old folks at r/debatealtright to put their money where their mouth is and actually take part in a structured debate. u/TheMythOf_Feminism took me up on the offer, and the Non-Sequitur Show has agreed to host it. The topic is the establishment of a white ethnostate in America, whether it is a good idea or not.
TL;DR debate at 8pm EST tonight on the Non-Sequitur Show, possible dumpster-fire.
The structure:
The debate will be structured like so: A brief introduction of both parties, then 20 minutes will be allocated to each side to state their claim, 15 minutes will be allocated to each side for their rebuttals, and 10 minutes will be allocated to each side for a counter-rebuttal, before breaking out into unstructured discussion. The Non-Sequitur Show will moderate.
The positions:
- An ethnostate being formed in the U.S. would simply require the citizenry to have two of their forgotten rights to be upheld, one would be property rights in general and the other freedom of association. To actively these rights to any group of people that wish nothing other than to be among others like themselves requires an active subjugation of those involved for no other reason than personal selfishness, insecurity or actual racial hatred of white people.
- An ethnostate is a planned form of governance and people that seek the preservation and control of a certain type of people, in this case on the basis of race or whatever white people see fit as justifying allowing entry.
- Ethnostates in the modern age are fundamentally unsound. The United States has never been a white ethnostate and to advocate for such is laughable. Historical precedent shows huge flaws that plague single ethnicity states, and the establishment of such in the U.S. requires nothing less than genocide. Reactionary ideology fuels these ideas, and a fear of immigrants stretching back centuries proves its failure to accurately predict future crises and form policy counter to said crises. All in all, diversity is America's greatest strength, and to bow to our most tribalist fears will hurt this nation in the long run.
- An ethnostate is a form of governance predicated upon the hegemony of a particular race. To maintain said hegemony, freedoms must be stripped from the people, thereby making ethnostates fundamentally totalitarian in nature.
I'm personally excited for this as I'm putting all my notes together and getting all my ducks in a row. I hope I can do you guys justice when I go to bat! Or, at the very least, make an entertaining dumpster-fire. See y'all at 8!
9 Years: 9 years of updates
Quick update: I lost a bunch of the story when I went to upload on Wednesday. I'm working on re-writes, so it should be up soon, but I've been focusing on my debate tonight so I should have it done by Sunday/Monday. I hate that whenever the finish-line is in sight, something always fucks up.

Life Update: November 2018
November was kinda nice. I'm disappointed I didn't get 9 years III out on time, but at the same time super happy about my CutCo video. I'm planning on doing at least 2 videos over the break, (following the schedule I had made in like July-ish, I might make adjustments based on my own judgement), and the enthusiasm shown towards my previous uploads is exactly the kind of push I need to get it done. Thanks so much for the support! 9 years III will be coming out on December 12, unless I die or something. I just want to get this labor of love over with, I've dragged it on too long and I want to move on. All I can hope for now is that you guys enjoy it.
I basically worked my ass off all thanksgiving. I guess that's partly why I got my act together and finished my video; if I can make a meager living off You Tube, I won't have to go back to that god-forsaken place. Don't get me wrong, my boss and my coworkers are great, it's the goddamn customers that make me want to invest in a shotgun. Dear God, how can someone get so pissed off getting a 14 lbs turkey instead of a 15 lbs turkey. Oh no! Thanksgiving is ruined! Little Johnny is going to starve to death because the family didn't have that extra pound of turkey to give him! Give me a break. Honestly, I'm shocked I haven't snapped and just tried to strangle someone from over the counter. I think that says a lot about my self control. Or, the fact that I even have that fantasy probably says more about my mental state. Eh, take your pick.
Pika's been good. I haven't had a whole lot of communication with her this month, and I'm kinda bummed. Most of that is my fault, I just forget to text people back. I'm just concerned about losing contact with her, I suppose. My anxiety has really been acting up lately, so it's hard to not be worried about, well, anything. I know we would never knowingly just break off communications for no reason, but I get this creeping feeling I might do it accidentally because I'm a moron. Whatever the case, I haven't heard if she's dating the magic dude from a while back. I hope she is, he seemed like a nice guy and I just want her to be happy.
Speaking of relationships, I've been involved with one myself. I met a girl (off /r9k/ of all places) and we've really hit it off. I wanted to give her a pokemon name, but she wasn't too keen on the idea. It's taken all my willpower to not give her the worst name just to annoy her, as I know she's reading this (Hi!). Anyways, she's been really kind and receptive to my bad jokes. She's hilarious herself, and we can really play off each other. I've been very open about my insecurities and worries, of which I have many, and she's been super understanding. That's a super difficult trait to come by, so that's a very good sign. Being honest and venerable with her is easy. I hope this goes somewhere, but only time will tell. Sappy paragraph over.

9 years 3 update.... again
Obviously, 9 years part 3 did not come out on the 22nd. It's pretty much done, I just need to re-read it and iron out any mistakes, but I didn't post it because I had to work then. I was banking on being off, as it takes me a while to put it up and I wanted to talk to you guys, but they called me in. My plan is to move it one last time (hopfully) to beyond my finals (December 12 to be exact) and be done with it. Thank you all for your patience with my shitty procrastination!

Life Update: October 2018
October was nice and quiet. I've been working on 9 years, homework, and various other projects I have in the works. I had fun at some Halloween parties, ate a lot of candy, and generally had a nice time. I think I'm starting to get used to college. It's a lot less lonely now that I live with Jolteon and Flareon, I feel I get along better with them better than my old roommate.
Pika's been quiet, but we still talk. She met a dude on a dating site and he got her to start getting into Magic: The Gathering. I, of course, am ecstatic about this, being the huge nerd I am. Mostly, I just want to share all the memes with her and have a good laugh. Random guy, I don't know who you are, but you're pretty chill in my eyes. I just hope she's still into it next time she visits, so I can kick her ass!
I'm trying to be more responsible with this blog and other things, so I've actually been making tons of progress on stuff I wanted to get done. Once We Were Gods chapter 2 is finished, and I'm already working on chapter 3. Since that's just going to be a short story, chapter 3 will likely be the last chapter. Besides 9 years coming out a week from today, I've got a few other goodies for you guys that have persisted. Stay tuned, November is going to be a busy one!
