Welcome to Weimerica Weekly Episode 29. The podcast airs every Wednesday.
This week’s podcast is on the the dysfunctional housing market.
Weimerica Weekly is a podcast hosted by Ryan Landry that touches on the cultural, political and sexual topics that fill the mindspace of our United States of Weimerica. The politicization of all cultural and social degeneracy is examined with a focus on how it fits together.
Weimerica Weekly is produced by the Hestia Society and distributed by Social Matter.

The one room classroom is actually coming back in a big way. We attended and ran a homeschool coop for my daughter in Brooklyn (radschool.org). Check out cottageclass.org – they are trying to promote this movement. I honestly do not understand why there is not a micro school on every corner. They are vastly superior.
In my state (PA,) the state courts have forced together smaller school districts, supposedly to save money, and forced more affluent school districts to consolidate with the poor minority school districts. The result is that the districts cover larger areas and many districts are non-contiguous cut-outs. Thus, instead of local schools, they build one huge school district complex and bus all the kids to the central location. Exempt from this of course, are the one or two extremely wealthy school districts where all of the important people live. They never have to consolidate with the poor school districts and they get to keep their local schools. When this topic comes up, I always think of Ted Kennedy chastising the evil rednecks for fighting integration and scolding them for not wanting their kids to go to school with savages, while he and his family lived in a gated compound and he sent his kids to private boarding schools. RIH – Ted
The exact same thing happened in the rural school district I am in now. In the late 90s they shut down 6 small local middle schools and built a huge central school for the whole county, busing kids in, many of whom used to walk, ride bikes, or even ride horses (!) to their old nearby schools. Some kids have an almost one hour bus ride each way now. Plus the new school is a jungle, in several ways.
It’s worth noting that there was NO protest from the locals when this happened in the 90s. Apparently this is round two of school centralization, as there were one-room schoolhouses in every hamlet before they built the 6 local schools. There was a large amount of protest when they shut down the hyper local schools in 1920s. Now, the poz has set in and people just go along with the bullshit as things get worse. It’s beyond depressing.
Homeschool, or better yet set up a co-op or cottage school. Any decent parent can do a better job teaching their kids than the best public school. Opt out. Raise your kids to be warriors.
Small town with college = Poz Pupae Central
Small town without college = place no Pozzed would be caught dead in.
If you don’t want to be in a small town without a college, check your Poz.
I enjoy this podcast but the production is extremely unfortunate. I often need to be attentive to my environment while listening to a podcast, and as such I prefer to be able to listen with only one earbud in. Splitting the speakers between the left and right channels makes it impossible to do this, and also causes a strange kind of listening fatigue. Please stop producing these podcasts in this bizarre way.
Okay, a fine show – as always, the content is great. But that said, seriously, these audio issues are terrible. We’re going to have to start calling the host “Left Ear Landry”, because that’s the only ear anyone ever hears him with. Meanwhile, DarklyEnlightened sounds like he’s calling in from the bottom of the Sarlacc Pit – taking a break from being slowly digested over a thousand years to have an informative chat about the housing market.
I know that it takes a while to git gud at all this, so I’m not being a hater here – I just strongly believe that if nobody ever complains about a problem, then nothing will ever get done about it.

I’m a millennial with a history degree that worked on a communal homeschooling co-opt teaching project in Montgomery Alabama. It worked pretty well and was an expanding program.
