You say these situations are not about race, but they are very strongly race-coded. Imagine it had been a white man, rather than a white woman, who had stood up to the black man in that video. Imagine that he had punched back. In fact we do not need to imagine what would happen - we saw the results of this recently, with Daniel Penny, who acted to protect the other passengers from a violent lunatic, and was subsequently arrested for being white.
The reason everyone just stands there and takes it is that everyone understands the game. Black people are allowed to do what they want, white people will be punished to the full extent of the law - to say nothing of punishment in the court of public opinion - for trying to enforce basic norms of civility. Push back against this, and risk having your life ruined. There are too many examples to list.
Perhaps this is changing, after all Penny's legal defense fund raised $2 million. Many are sick of this. But the DA's offices remain in the hands of race fanatics who consider "fascism" to be synonymous with "citizens who dislike crime", most especially if the crime is black and the citizens are white. If we're going to have color-blind order in the streets that works for everyone (and I believe most want this, of every color), these fantastics will need to be removed from office, and their supporters shouted down and shamed into silence.
Step #1 in turning this around is to speak truth. And what's going on is an updated version of the Bolshevik's Who/Whom? question. With race this time, not class. Although, upon reflection, class also plays into it as the middle class (overwhelmingly white) is being demonized. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that this is the group who will be destroyed by globalization. It's probably also a coincidence that the Brandon administration is warning about the dangers of "white nationalism/supremacy." It's almost like they expect resistance from the people they're abusing.
The fate of Western Civilization is at stake here. Society's elite, traditionally its champions, are gleefully taking a sledgehammer to every one of its pillars.
Chris Bray correctly writes that society is strong from below (think Canadian truck drivers) but weak at the top (our "experts" and every coward who knows better but keeps quiet in order to cash a check.) The problem is, how do we organize this might without Merrick Garland's FBI coming down on them like a ton of bricks?
Bray's right, to a degree, but the fish rots from the head - the lower classes too are full of hicklibs who have OD'd on genderpills, for instance. Mimesis is a powerful thing.
In any case, we very clearly need to circulate the elites. Indeed I think this is already happening. The legacy media, for example, is increasingly ignored in favor of independent media. The prestige of the academies is being drawn down fast, with competition from independent researchers, philosophers, and scientists who have honed their abilities in the online agon displacing the old intellectual elites - who are largely a joke at this point. In the private sector, you have billionaires like Musk, Thiel, or Andreeson, who are forming a coalition against the Davos set.
Power is largely a matter of perception and allegiance. Strip all of the legal fluff away, and people have power because other people listen to them and do what they say. It's a kind of attention economy, in other words. The old elite have a lock on all the symbols of legitimacy, but nothing beyond this. As their mindshare diminishes, so does their power.
Resistance is forming, and I hope it's legit and not a limited hangout.
The MSM has lost all credibility and people are tuning them out. What concerns me is the totalitarian movement towards censorship and punishment of those standing up against the lies with harsh laws against "misinformation" and "hate speech" going on in Europe, especially.
It would not surprise me if the internet were to go down (Klaus and the boys have gone on about it for a while now) and restarted with unofficial voices purged. Not sure if you recall this but during the summer of 2020, Google rendered many conservative and Christian websites inaccessible. A test run for what's coming?
John - it is happening. In my neighborhood we just formed a group called "Dissident Dad's". It is a group who speaks out at school boards and other forums that speak out with common sense.
I live in a neighborhood of 163 houses and we have 41 "members" from every stripe that are sick of the assault on our children.
We have created the reverse type of pressure with very little pushback.
That's fantastic news. That's how it's done: one person at a time, one schoolboard at a time. Good luck. Keep the pressure on. Curb stomp any leftist garbage ideas trying to get a foothold in the community.
Sadly, in my neck of the woods, the opposite is going on. My search for homes in a nearby Red State continues...
"Authenticated" Internet (for public safety, of course) is a huge concern. The entire population will be helpless without real information and news. Please encourage and assist all efforts to create peer-to-peer mesh and super wi-fi networks that can form an alternate Internet backbone. The options today are meager, where they exist at all. Radio is a start, but is grossly inadequate.
They don't even really need to render them inaccessible, simply fact check them into obscurity. We've seen how they don't necessarily have to "censor" all they have to do is fact check, brand, and otherwise "bias" the dissent.
First off, thank you introducing me to a new word (mimesis). I will be sure to remember and use it.
There is indeed a strong resistance which in only strengthening each passing day. However we need to be acutely aware of the strength and determination of our enemy and that they are growing as well in both ferocity and reach, mostly due to the endless and unchecked increases in government power they have facilitated. That power craves more power and fears losing any.
The Left has one of the two major parties (one shore of the Swamp) completely under its oppressive thumb. Rarely do we see any significant intra-party conflicts within the Donkeys. This party has the full force of the Executive branch along with its intelligence, brutal enforcement, and incarceration capacities in which to impose its agenda while crushing any dissent. All of which is heralded and celebrated by the MSM and the Hollywood propaganda machinery and swallowed whole by a populace brainwashed (and bankrupted) through academia and anesthetized via the constant intake of psychopharmaceuticals and TikTok.
We in the opposition are forced to turn to the GOP as our horse in the race. Talk about a party in schism. Half if not more are openly Uniparty Eunuchs, loyal to the Deep State and their own net worth. That leaves likely less than half of one of the two parties to fight with. Call it the MAGA wing if you like. Unless we can unite the GOP, the next election (and the ones after that) will continue to be splintered with money and efforts wasted on internal struggles for dominance instead of fighting the real enemy. They piss away resources and (all too limited) attention spans constantly screeching about abortion and trans kids. Those are distractions and misdirections intended to keep you focused away from the really bad shit they are pulling. Ukraine come immediately to mind here.
We have our work cut out for us, and that work begins at home. The next 18 months may very well be the most critical in our history. I seriously don't believe that America can survive another 4 years of this, at least not the America we all grew up in and love.
The thing is, the horse in the race is us. Government is not the answer, the dismantling of it is. And the good news is they are doing some of the work for us, ironically. The GOP are government Lite™. Look no further than Kemp good ol' boying his way around Georgia saying there were no mask mandates and showing correct mask hygiene.
Government isn't the answer, no. But We the Proles cannot expect to take on both parties aligned against us. We either work the system from within, what little that is left of our actual Democracy, or we stage a full-on insurrection. As that babbling Muppet installed in 1600 said:
"If you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons"
The parties are aligned against us. If not in word then in deed. That train has already left the station. Where are the Covid investigations? Where is the rage against the war in the Ukraine? Where is there speaking out against inflation and the printing out money? Why isn't Fauci in jail? Why aren't all levels of government being investigated (this question is rhetorical). They can't even address the homeless situation much less understand basic economics, and they have control of the reins.
I think we can be aggressively non aggressive. Take the woman in the subway as an example. Suppose the guy with the hat on said nothing, did not engage verbally, but stepped in front of the woman. The man would yell, he might hit the guy, he could very well have a weapon drawn on him, but what would happen had the man simply blocked access to the woman?
Is it really only "work within or insurrection without?" In truth, we are all in the system. What about subverting the system. Being in it, but in our way either fighting against the dying of the light, or making fun of it, pointing it out, ridiculing it and not complying with it?
There is a book out there that outlines non violent protest, and subverting the system. It also teaches that there is very real sacrifice, and it could mean the life you lose is your own.
"If you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons"
I respectfully disagree ‐ fighter jets cannot stop you on the street to check your papers or search your house for contraband. You need police to maintain a police state. Most military hardware is useless against a domestic uprising; the aim of a tyrant is to control not kill, as no one wants to rule a nation of corpses.
I wasted a fair amount of time in my younger years trying to "work for change from within." I declare it improbable at best. Certain unspoken goals, abject corruption, and simple ossification of habits render it highly unlikely that you can change anything.
The better strategy would be to side-step these institutions and organizations and simply start over.
That line by itself is clear grounds for impeachment (and he has repeated it since then). Those "F-15s and nukes" are not his personal toys; they belong to the people of the U.S. and they exist for the sole purpose of defending American citizens from foreign attack. Just the thought of using them against those citizens renders him unfit for office (which, of course he already was).
The article is perfectly spot on. Look, pick your poison- into the breach or cower in fear. Everything has consequences. When we look in the mirror, what can we live with is the question.
This happened in NYC and not Prescott,AZ or Laramie, WY for a reason. The bully likes a soft target always, and the blue cities are usually a preview for the rest of the country when it comes to societal trends.
The libtards voted for this. Everybody else should GTF out of NYC. It’s gonna get worse before it gets better. The more we stand up the more will stand up. Courage is contagious. I’m not Captain America, far from it,he’s a big guy, but he needs some knuckle powered attitude adjustment.
There are also those who've become so sunk in despair that they advocate giving up. I think telling others to give up is even worse than just staying silent.
Do you remember me mentioning that "Dissident Dads" group a couple of my neighbors helped me start?
Well it's working and expanding. I live in an area called Fishhawk. It's an area of influence. Anyway this movement was starting to gain enough traction that folks are referring to the group as the "Fishhawk Four" because the area is split into 4 distinct private neighborhoods.
We've expanded beyond schools to city, county meetings, etc., etc.
The whole idea is to have at least twice as many regular folks at meetings as there are bureaucrats and council members. We switch up who's going to meetings so it gives the appearance of "familiarity" but also numbers.
We wear shirts that say "We're Watching". I could explain results but i don't want to ramble on. The challenge is logistics, coordination and making sure some of the younger fathers stay engaged (it's critical to have "older fathers" as leaders ((wisdom and "status")).
Anyway this is fairly straightforward and I believe can be replicated far and wide. I'm going to establish a 501 C in an effort to further organize and expand.
Any marketing ideas, strategy/tactics you may have would be more than welcome.
If you have a bat phone to that crazy cat at mr. peters house see what he thinks

They want people to leave the lie cities, they are destroyed, and then continue their same enlightened voting patterns in red areas to continue the destruction. What will you do?
The point is you need bastions of strength. You aren’t going to get that in Gotham. You might get it elsewhere. A lot of blue states like California and NY are too far gone. You don’t build a resistance stronghold in the middle of enemy territory where you are vastly outnumbered if you can avoid it. Maybe Long Island or Upstate is better in NY. I don’t really know, but NYC - forget it.
I think you can take virtually any state in the union - even NY, CA, IL (ad nauseum) & you’ll see that the vast majority of each are bright RED w/ patches of blue that happen to be the festering big cities that out-populate & thus out-vote the rural reds.... The map for every presidential election shows this....
I think that those of us in solid and reliably red counties, towns, and townships need to band together and as part of unofficially "welcoming" new arrivals into our communities, vet them to find out not what their political orientation is, but rather what their values are – and take note and observe.
Most who are of a leftist bent cannot help but announce it in some way or another. We then, can make sure they are exposed to as much faith, freedom, and patriotism, as possible so that they are almost immersed in it. They will either come to embrace it, or they will feel so out of place that they move away. Win-win.
Knuckles not necessarily needed. But he definitely needs to know there COULD BE knuckle powered adjustment. He was bouncing back and forth throughout this episode...alternating I think between fear and rage. RAGE that he had been denied, and somewhere in there knowing he was clearly in the wrong.
Maybe. Once he hit that lady, he needed some attention to his nose and chin. Just sayin’
But if he knew that three guys were going to smack him, he never would have pulled this crap. Who hits a girl? I mean seriously... if you are so insecure that you need to hit a woman 1/2 your size who poses no threat, you’re a villain. There is no justification for that.
Maybe I wasn't being clear, it can happen, I apologize. When I say that the man in the ballcap could have intervened, I meant "before" the woman was hit. As soon as the conflict began.
In our pre-woke society where all our maladies were systemic, the interaction would never have taken place because one of us members of the tyrannical patriarchy would have stepped in.
"Sir, could you please not shove your way and yell your way through the crowd."
I know exactly what that guy with the ballcap was feeling. "If I do something, I am going to be called a racist."
Imagine if the women taping the exchange had witnessed the white guy confronting the black guy who was forcing his way on the train. I think it would be another statistic decontexted form of racism. Instead that guy looked like he wished he had a cloaking device.
What I was pointing out is there is a nonviolent end to this. If I had been standing beside the woman, I would have simply stepped in. If I was insulted and pushed. then I would be insulted and pushed.
You're right though, the correct answer for when a man strikes a woman is that he should at least be restrained, forcibly ejected at the next subway stop. I don't think he should be beaten. I have a sneaking suspicion he already has had enough of that in his life and this is part of what makes him who he is.
The terrorizing of normal people in the streets is very reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s. We’ve already had nearly three years of the Digital Brownshirts ruining the lives of anyone who expressed even mild resistance. This is NOT a minor thing -- REAL people have lost their jobs, families, friends, and -- most importantly their futures -- over minor objections to a woke-cause-de-jour!
Leading up to Kristallnacht, the Brownshirts paraded through the streets, and anyone who refused to salute (or sometimes if one didn’t salute quickly enough) was beaten in full view of the crowd, for maximum impact. Does that sound like the video Gato posted , or some of the tactics we saw during BLM’s “summer of love”? You’re darn tootin’ it does! The 2020 video of outdoor dining patrons being bullied by a mob comes to mind... And this recent campaign of random acts of violence by blacks against Whites/Asians seems to be a similar attempt to brutalize us into compliance. (BTW, a really good description of this process in Germany can be found in Erik Larson’s “In the Garden of Beasts; after reading it, I truly felt that I had a better understanding of how so few co-opted so many.)
Although I’m ultimately a cynic/pessimist, I can FEEL the winds of resistance starting to blow. Yesterday in the car I happened to listen to a country music station, and I was absolutely gob-smacked to hear a just-released Jason Aldean song “Try that in a Small Town”. If an established performer DARES to release a song like that...interesting.
Police and military are recruited from among US, the American people. And they may well be utilized to squash us, just like happened in WW2. An eye opening book that delves into a group of ordinary citizens and what they were coerced into doing for "the state" is in the book "Ordinary Men" by Christopher Browning. A most sobering read.
disagree, this is, as it basically has always been, a class question - the deepstate is seeing Trump's populism MAGA gang standing tall with a leader and demanding Democracy, and they are smashing it back with everything thing they have - one important weapon, as it has always been, is divide and conquer, and running around screaming RACE!!!!!! is a big dogewhistle for a lot of people still. RE 'strong from below weak at the top' - not really, yes there's a lot of strength 'below', but clearly the 'top' is very strong, with their control of the means of violence, and unfortunately we have a very weak 'middle', either totally brainwashed as the lower levels of the managerial class, or timid and afraid of losing what they have so 'going along to get along' as it were
Yes, it really is that simple. Just look at the history of leftist tactics over the past couple hundred years. They've been consistent because what they do works. Their mission has always been to destroy, disrupt, and disassemble. They are accommodated by a powerful physical principle: entropy. Leftist have the easiest job on the planet. It's straight from the Marxist mandate to "criticize everything ruthlessly."
That's the extent of the leftist skill set.
It's all they have.
They don't build.
They don't bring solutions.
They don't expend productive energy.
They criticize - just as their spirit god mandated they do.
There isn't a more secure job on this goddam planet than being a leftist.
you're way way way too deep into the capitalist koolaid, it's not 'the left' doing all the bad stuff here and for the last 150 years or so, it's the capitalists trying to smash down anyone fighting for democracy, and very cleverly convincing people like you it's not them but some straw dog they created and labeled 'the left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' - I doubt you're saveable, but if you want to see about a Saul moment you could try - It's not 'the left' trying to take over the world and shut down free speech and all that other bad stuff - it's 'the right'!! - https://www.rudemacedon.ca/vgi/backgrounders/collectivist%20plot%20omg.html
I tried to get through your "essay", Dave. One strawman after another. By the time I got to your rant that "capital" means only *big* capital, as a smalI businessman who knows exactly what kind of capital I need, I was pretty sure the rest of your writing would be more of the same and cut my losses.
You leftist barbarians have slaughtered hundreds of millions of innocents just in the 20th Century alone, and have destroyed every society, polity and economy you've ever seized control of.
From the New World colony of Jamestown, where your poisonous creed resulted in the starvation of nearly all the colonists, to the French Revolution where you lot roasted babies alive in bread ovens and drowned children in sacks, through the unspeakable genocides and oppressions of Mao, Stalin and Hitler, right up to modern-day Venezuela, once a prosperous nation with the largest oil reserves in the world, which you lot have transformed into a totalitarian nightmare, where the former middle class was reduced to eating tacos del gato.
The degradation of standards: political, legal, economic, social that we are enduring today are the end result of a century of progressivism, an infernal combination of international and national socialist strains, that is destroying our civilization.
It is nearly beyond belief that in this day and age, after this track record, that we still are subjected to depraved leftist barbarians spouting destructive nonsense, and they are not run out of town on a rail.
I don't suppose it will do much good, but I've pretty thoroughly deconstructed all of this nonsense here - Pure Evil Indeed - but who?? - https://www.rudemacedon.ca/DSG/A3c-big-lies-2a-pureevil.html . What the anglo-american capitalists have been up to the last couple of hundred years puts everything else in the shade. You're a small businessman - that's great, backbone of society - any society - but 'capitalism' refers to those who **control** the 'capital', and use that control to exploit everyone else. Anyways, if you're all not willing to engage in what I've written but just run off to your stupid baseless straw dog insults, there's not much point in continuing. Have a nice day with your friendly capitalist masters, I'm sure they appreciate your support as they put their chains around you and run your country into the ground. I suppose I'm going to banned from this place too.
I was on the left for 48 years. I know their playbook well. Very well. Being a trial lawyer for 35 years, it was damn near mandatory to adopt their agenda and support them financially. But thanks for the lecture. Your evangelization tactics fall flat with me.
Not the capitalists - the corporatists - the true anti-capitalists who would eliminate competition from smaller enterprises through onerous regulation and compliance with cost-prohibitive penalties for non-compliance.
The term "capitalism" is confusing. I use it to mean a free market. Others insist it means our current banking system with the established monopolies. I don't want government OR corporations holding absolute power over everyone. Cronyism is not about freedom of the marketplace.
Standing alone while everyone is saying things like you are racist, uneducated, not thinking clearly is both scary and hard. I did this in college in the 1970s. While I got a nice note from the administrator, my fellow classmates kept their mouths shut. Except for the druggies who I stood up to, even my own mother called me stupid. It hurt and it taught me that some people just want to be victims and others just want to be quiet and go with the flow. I see the same thing played out with the Jan. 6 protests, BLM protests, and there are so many more examples. The current political landscape, is such that people who made up, lied, fabricated the Russian interference are criminally liable. Clintons, Biden, congress people, senators, FBI, CIA, are in power now and there is no rule of law for them. The very average person and I include myself is dealing with aging parents, new job landscape, new economic forces, mental health issues the squeeze of all of this, and more hitting you full force. How does the average person protect themselves from being cancelled, job pulled out from them, lawyer fees and the list goes on. Individual are going to have to make friends with like minded people, learn how to be self sufficient, stock a cellar, learn to shoot a gun, and truly take care of one another. I urge you to look past the color of someone and talk to them, asking them how they are doing. TINFOIL HAT TIME; I have always thought that our government had been psyoping the black community. The government paid you money if you were not with your spouse, make everyone dependent upon that check from the government. If you tried to get out of this system, you were looked at as being “uppity”, “not one of us, stupid, a failure. Once the government saw this community breakdown, what worked, what didn’t, how to introduce drugs into the community, it became a blueprint if you will, a manual on how to do this to all communities. African Americans were not the only ones targeted, American Indians, and maybe even others. I don’t know where we will be at the end of 2024. I almost believe that what is here now, food, gas electricity, communities may not be here then. It is 50-50 because this right now is breaking down and I believe it needs to. Sadly.
imagine this was a white man doing that to a black woman?? The world would end. The man would be thrown under the jail. The president would call out the perpertrator and use him as an example of the dangerous white supremacy that is the number one threat to society. AOC would take photo-ops jumping in front of trains. Riots would break out. Our society is broken. Justice doesnt exist.
As a black man, sick to his damned stomach watching that exchange, I wish one thing. I wish I could say you were wrong and believe it. I cannot, and that disgusts and disappoints me on a lot of levels.
It would sicken and disgust me equally, were the situation reversed. If that makes you feel any better.
Black people have fallen far in the last forty years or so. Mostly thanks to the enabling behavior of white liberals, although blacks did their part. But in truth I'm watching the same decay set in throughout the white underclass and it turns my stomach and breaks my heart. There's a sickness in this land which is rotting through everything, making us all lesser beings than we should be.
In my opinion, the saddest part of this situation is that it's a minority of black people doing those things. Decent black people are ignored or even victimized. We don't have those in power telling us to say David Dorn's name, instead they elevate criminals.
Yep. Majority of black people getting screwed by this - they're the first victims of the crime, and it's their reputation that suffers on top of that. They get hit twice.
A member of an "oppressed" group gets to rob, violate or kill a member of the "privileged" group with impunity. That's not justice but feuding. Vengeful spite and envy because one person imagines others have it easy.
The folks in charge of this anarcho tyranny cheer it on. They don't give a rip about anyone of any group (outside their special club) and oppress us all from behind the curtains or through passive aggressive policies. Divide and conquer.
The most important division the Club has cultivated is the all too literal war between the sexes. There can be no civilization where men and women hate each other. (And some can't even say what men or women are.)
Yes, exactly. The racial division is stoked in order to keep the white helot class in a state of perpetual fear and submission. The sexual division is stoked in order to keep the helots isolated and weak.
White people are the new Kulaks. They represent the middle class. Bring that down and everyone will suffer. Ditto for bringing down men as fathers, husbands, and community leaders. That will leave women and children at the mercy of the State.
this is very true--and I see the effect growing. 5 years ago I and many I know were proud that society was allowing blacks to flourish--many have and will. But last few years (bec of obama and the orchestrated BLM actions), if you are a sane white person you will not trust any black person. most blacks are not violent. but how can one tell the difference? so it is constant suspicion, caution, avoidance etc.
When one is young you start to learn what “hip” is. “Hip” is what impresses you and you learn to imitate it and pass it off as “yours.” You get rewards for this. It is practical vanity. The rewards are at many scales up to and including being worshipped as “A Rock Star” “Movie Star” “_____Star.” Getting “recognized” as an “Artist” is a popular goal many pursue in this format. The developing young person encounters “originality” and is impressed, even if the “originality” they are being impressed by is a borrowed counterfeit. I think I read once that Abstract Expressionism was a created movement created or seeded deliberately by state actors for political purposes, for example. Henry Schaefer-Simmern was a painter who left Weimar Germany and made his way to the art faculty at UCBerkeley. Earlier he had a successful career going as an artist until one day he had an epiphany about art, declared himself a fraud, and started over. He complained that when AbEx came into vogue, one by one the art faculty at Berkeley capitulated and became abstract expressionists! He spoke out about this and had to part ways with the school.
Sorry, I don’t remember. But look at who and what gets pushed in the “Art World.” For example “Piss Christ.” The guy who put that one together was lionized as some kind of a genius. I remember reading about some painter, Chris Ofili? And how his painting of slime kind of a Madonna (I typed “some kind of Madonna” but the phone saw fit to change it to “slime”—where did THAT come from???—-It’s coming at us fast and furious, folks!) So I’m reading about the Ofili painting and they breathlessly share that one of the materials of the painting is “elephant dung.” I don’t think this is “accidental..” I think that the people that control the reins of money-printing and media are just laughing in their sleeves as they freely take shots at the hated “Whiteness” “Christianity” “Maleness” punching bags they have been setting up as they show the impressionable kids in schools what is the “official” “hip” opinion to hold and what they should admire and buy if they want to be “cool” and “progressive” and “avant-garde.”
We can blame everything on the French. The mockery of the middle class as contemptible pinch-faced enemies of the artistic soul formed the staple reading lists in both English and French classes in HS and college.
And the celebration of French cinema with *its* celebrations of pedophilia and tender loving incest; with Candice Bergen's husband making kiddie porn out of Brooke Shields and then everyone wanting to buy those Calvins--
Americans were too afraid of being called philistines for not admiring the inadmirable got us right here.
Precisely. It is textbook Anarcho-tyranny. A purer strain could not be created in a petri dish. Until we call it what it is, I'm not sure we stand a chance against it.
Not just white people. The bodega worker who killed his attacker after being stabbed, and then was arrested and charged with murder before an outcry ended in those charges being dropped, was Dominican.
The hierarchies are well understood now.
It takes little bravery to contribute to a defense fund. Penny's life is ruined now. An acquittal won't give it back. Everyone understands this. People in media and online commenters are still trying to lynch Kyle Rittenhouse after his acquittal in a trial whose video evidence was stark in his favor.
This is true. There was also the retired black cop, I think he ran a pawn shop or something, who was murdered without blinking by BLM rioters, and the media simply shrugged.
At the intraracial level of granularity, black criminals are considered higher status than law-abiding blacks on the victim hierarchy.
No middle class black person has value in this hierarchy. And that retired black cop, I think, was providing security for the pawn shop. And leaves a white widow.
The retired black cop was David Dorn. The pawn shop belonged to his friend and he was providing it security. His grandson actually witnessed his death as one of the rioters posted a video of his last moments. The entire event was horrible, but you'll never read about it in the MSM.
The more I learn about David Dorn's death, the worse it is. I am determined to not allow his name to be forgotten. We need to celebrate heroes and he is a man worthy of the greatest respect.
I think nothing changes until the "middle" realizes that the overlords are really just employing every trick known to man to push us against each other, not pulling us apart.
The result is a yawning gap on two sides of the fault line where the overlords keep distance and keep accumulating power through distraction - thereby discouraging courage for fear of the power of those in the ivory towers. Those in the towers want us to believe something, with their "long view" that we know not to be true from our experience on the ground.
This man should've been pummeled by several other men, damn the consequences.
it's only become more focused on 'race' the last few years (since Trump) when the deep state party ('dems') and deep state media (all mainstream except Fox) started screaming RACE RACE RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as part of their big 'divide divide diVIDE people!!!!!!!!!!!!' push - been quite effective obviously, but I think the US is not really a 'racist society' - sure they were a long time ago, but since the 'new enlightenment' got underway in the 50s and 60s, things have progressively gotten better and better, and generally remain so, regardless of the deepstate antifa freaks and etc
they need some sort of angle to keep the other side from assembling. White supremacy is an easy reason. Then they call white supremacists terrorists. The media then calls any trump supporter or republican a white supremacist, thus a terrorist. The government then shuts down all speech from the terrorists, and any assembly they hold can lead to being jailed indefinetly under the patriot act. I expect utter mayhem to erupt during trumps campaign. Multiple CIA and FBI psy-ops and false flags at Trump rallies that lead to violence. Expect to see news stories about dangerous anti-government trump supporters to pop up in the media and on twitter.The entire framework has been put in place, the Jan 6th farce was the intro.
A white woman dressed up AS A GORILLA and threw eggs at him. Complete silence from the media about this example of "white supremacy" -- because it didn't advance the narrative.
well, if they're going to keep slandering us and claiming that's what we are regardless of what we do or don't do, maybe it's finally time to to say "fuck it all" and fully embrace being "white supremacists terrorists", and then clean the damn trash out of our house for good - both at the bottom and the top of the economic spectrum...
Of course, the fact that the seditious conspiracy statute COULD apply to anybody is exactly the point. The people playing on the “right” team will never face charges like this. They said that Ray Epps wasn’t charged because he didn’t go into the Capitol — yet that excuse was just destroyed by the conviction of not-even-in-DC Enrique Tarrio. Instead, Epps gets fawning stories in the NYT and on 60 Minutes, an even got a sort-of apology from the 1/6 Committee! Gee, why would Democrats defend the one person who’s on tape THE NIGHT BEFORE telling people to go into the Capitol even though he “might be arrested” for saying it? It’s a mystery!
Dave, time to look in the mirror. This didn’t start with Trump. This started with his predecessor, but you, of course, will never acknowledge that possibility.
correct. but that is changing. only a very stupid person would turn his back on a black make ages 10-30. you odds are against you if you do. sort of like seat belts. head on a swivel is today's situational awareness.
You said it! Let’s not pretend this is some mystery. Most of the forms of lawlessness mentioned in the article have a racial component. Underclass blacks rob and beat with impunity because of (((liberal))) and often (((Soros)))-funded attorneys, judges, and DAs, who have essentially criminalized white self-defense. The European tradition of chivalry is being replaced by the erasure of women, driven by trans mania, which is in turn driven by our friends in the (((alternative sexuality))) community. It’s always the same people corrupting and weaponizing our social
But the erasure of women is not without its origin in the hardcore feminist (men are useless) crowd. To an extent, women are just reaping the inevitable consequences. Few men now are willing to risk feminist wrath for being “gallant”. We need an entire resetting of values in the West.
These ignorant statements are contradicted by all of the data. Your statements are only supported by video anecdotes, which are by their very nature hyperbolic.
Yes. The Daniel Penny case came to my mind too. He didn't act alone either, there was a black man and a Hispanic man that assisted him in restraining the man who died, but only Daniel Penny is being charged. If race wasn't an important factor, then either all three should be charged or none of them should be (I think none should be charged, myself).
That only works in systemically democrat controlled areas. Leave them and the majority will vote blue in the red states. You still have the mind virus. That's their plan to USE you.
You did hit on the point that people who stand against him are *afraid* of the state. Look at the marine who took that lunatic down on the train, or the security guard who did his job against a violent aggressor. These people have their lives profoundly disrupted at best, destroyed at worst, for standing up. And the middle aged white woman who gets up before the school board or city council and says, let’s not have gay porn be a topic in kindergarten and let’s keep junkies from camping in the playground gets shredded and mocked by her peers, and then it goes viral.
The price is high. The price for not acting is HIGHER, it’s true, but the price is high, and it’s important to find ways to stand together or it won’t happen, because standing alone and being cast out of the tribe means death in the wilderness, and that’s baked into our biology.
indeed, and one wonders if this price has not been inflated on purpose as a means to alienate society from its ability to set and defend its own standards.
this is the nasty edge of ideas like "hate crimes" because hate crime is really just another word for "thought crime."
it's not "what you did" it's "why we think you did it" that matters and this erects unequal and biased standards. the sorts of DA's that champion this and fail to charge and convict on violent crimes and robberies are staring us down and saying "i have taken your civilization."
the question is "what are we going to do about it?"
because this status quo sure seems not to be working.
it's also why we should WANT to be on juries. they are the last defense against these sorts of rigged laws. you can always nullify them and chose morality over legalism.
I do drag myself up to our mini-Mordor-on-the-Kennebec to sit in committee hearings occasionally or to stand with the crowds. I want them to know they don’t have my approval or permission, even if they have the power through force.
Is it possible to start setting up large representative groups, joined up groups in each country, something like Gov (but not a crime syndicate), to start really representing the people?
"because standing alone and being cast out of the tribe means death in the wilderness, and that’s baked into our biology."
Then our task is to ensure that cast the guy on the train is the one who's cast out of the tribe. But, as you note, there is a cost - especially if you think you're alone.
But look here *points at El Gato Substack on phone [work with me here]*: You, _WE_ are not alone. Just one of us has to stand up. Paraphrasing The Bad Cat: We can't be peaceful if we're not willing to fight for peace.
We the Little People, Us here people, are not alone.
silencing people and setting them against one another is what makes civilization malfunction. in regaining or speech, our agency, and our standards lies the power to reestablish a society by the people for the people.
if just 2 men wouldve walked over by that woman and told that man to leave her alone, the coward would have done nothing but continue to yell like a child. If it was 3 or 4 he probably wouldve just turned around and shut up. It astounds me that people can just stand there and watch this and do nothing. NYC is a shithole full of selfish do nothings. Ive sworn the place off. Who needs this type of nonsense??? If a transit cop was on that train, he too wouldve done nothing. That city is lost and run by degenerates. Only if people wake up, and start opposing this sort of shit, as el gato says can it be saved. If they dont the chaos will just continue to swell.
Where are the MEN to stand up to this violence? What has happened to them to make them cower? That woman’s boyfriend stood there with his head hanging down, afraid to look at the criminal who battered her.
We are not alone, and I know that. I do know that even the cat disguises his human form online; we all recognize that there is a price to flipping over the tables on the bullshit.
I use my real name, and my real face, because I never want to have to dig out from under pretense again. But I completely understand when that’s not possible.
A big shift for me during Covid was that I realized my little blue liberal world was not safe for me, and was only nominally tolerant of me because there hadn’t been a reason to turn against me and others like me. That’s when I realized I had to throw all my energy into finding my people, locally and on line, under my own real name, loud and proud. I now have dozens of direct friends and acquaintances, and many dozens more in a larger circle, with whom I feel I can be myself. We don’t all agree, but the Overton window is the one I want to live with.
My next moves will be physical; I’m building the foundation now. My children are 17 and 13, and though they don’t go to school, they have jobs and lives here that I am not willing to wrench them from. But I have shifted my business to fully remote so that 100% of my new clients expect that environment, and most of my old clients at least tolerate it, with the goal of being able to seamlessly relocate as soon as my younger child is launched.
Not all conservatives know what's happening either.
In many respects our counter culture is as conformist and normalcy biased as the blue. I tried explaining what's going on to my conservative, church going, gun toting family and get blank stares. They didn't support mandates but were perturbed at my refusal to get the mRNA injection. "In the old days you'd have turned down Salk's vaccine, gotten polio and wound up in an iron lung." They brag about being boosted and laugh at my "conspiracy theories."
A lot of these conservative normies are boomers. And they love Trump. After all he has urged us to get our Trump shots. The Father of the Vaccines lost my vote.
Well, I don’t see myself as a conservative, either. With all the usual qualifiers*, I’m most closely a libertarian, and always have been. So that has generally meant leaning away from whatever was in power, whether it was the religious right, the loony left, the neocons, the totalitarian left; I guess that about covers it for a gen Xer. Takes us from Carter to now.
As a kid it was painful, but I came to see how powerful it was because I have *never* had the luxury and hindrance of an echo chamber. Nope, for me, it’s always been merciless take-downs from all sides, which has kept me intellectually honest, and has also made me tough because I had to learn how to know what I believed in order not to be gaslit into insanity. I was well-prepared for Covoodoo, and I was STILL blindsided by it.
We have a pretty good community here. My kids have good friends and good lives and we are making the necessary steps to make the move. For the time being, my husband's work is 100% tethered to this physical location, but my business is growing rapidly and that will give us a lot more flexibility.

Many years ago, when I was a 5' 8", 135lb badass, I was sitting in my car in DC, waiting for paychecks to be ready. I was beside a bus stop. All of a sudden, I heard a gurgling noise of someone being strangled. I turned and there was a black guy, estimated 6 feet, 180lbs with his hands around a black woman's throat, strangling her. He was focused on her, and his side was unprotected, so, since she would clearly be dead in a couple of minutes, I jumped out of my car and gave him a running shoulder under the ribs. It knocked him off her and into some bushes, giving me enough time to jump back in my car. As I started to pull away with him running after me, screaming in rage, I noticed a cop car doing a u turn...divine intervention? No se, but in the rearview mirror, I saw them grab the guy...The point here is that I grew up believing you did NOT stand by and allow that sort of thing to happen. PERIOD. I got lucky, but I had been willing to take the risk and the consequences rather than let him brutalize and perhaps kill the woman. This was at the time the murder of Kitty Genovese was still remembered, and the cowardice of the witnesses had appalled me. Times have clearly changed, but I haven't, and I think there are a lot of people around like me, and like the guy in NYC being lynched by the DA and the media. Right and wrong are, no matter how the try to gaslight us, still right and wrong. We are living in a country ruled by a government that has modeled itself on 1984, but a lot of us refuse to become Winston...
I once got thumped by a Black Crackhead who was physically abusing someone's perfectly nice pup tied up outside a local grocery. I got between him and the dog, and received a shot to the head, no onlookers stood up for me, but I managed to get into a store and escape.
Distracted from the dog, he went on his merry dangerous way screaming and yelling at people. This was in 1985.
😂 That reminds me of a time I was riding my bicycle between parked cars and moving traffic in Berkeley. I was singing a blissful chant I had just heard in a concert of The Sufi Choir to myself, trying to remember the words. Suddenly, while looking down at my left leg I saw a car fender overtaking me from behind six inches from my leg. I veered away in terror but I only had a tiny lane to evade in because of the parked cars to my right. I watched in horror, looking down at my leg, while the fender of the car, IN RESPONSE, moved EVEN CLOSER to my leg, nearly rubbing against it now! A second later, a passenger in the car swatted me on the ass and the car sped away. My shock turned to anger and I started pumping furiously. They were about 200 yards up a gentle incline, and they did not expect me to catch up to them. However, they had had to stop for a red light, and I thought I just might be able to catch them. When I pulled up beside their open passenger window, the two Black Citizens were still having a good laugh about their surprise attack. They stupidly assumed that I was too far away to catch them, so when the passenger saw me standing astride my bike right next to his open window, he was startled and ducked down in fear, anticipating a punch. The light had turned green and their car was just about to move. I was still trying to decide what to do, I was angry, shocked, and disgusted. I leaned into the window, and he turned his face back towards me quizzically to take a peek. At that moment, I was inspired with what I wanted to say and I spit fully into his face. He was stunned. Slowly, thoughts formed as he realized what was happening. I had registered my contempt perfectly! Traffic was starting to move and it was time for them to drive. They started howling with rage as they realized what my communication was. I had a bike chain around my seat and I considered slamming the door on his leg as he tried to get out and following up with the chain, but I decided discretion was the better form of valor so I turned my bike around and started pumping. I had been in a ground-covering gear so it was hard to pump at first and I could hear at least one of them running and cursing close behind me as I slowly gained speed and finally pulled away. It was a very exciting and satisfying incident!
Bravo Gato. Inspiring post to push back against normalization of demoralization. Sadly many have chosen a third option: virtue signal about embracing the mess. The “elite” urbanites will never admit to you or themselves how miserable things have gotten, so they double down in showing off how stunning and brave they are to tolerate societal collapse. Ridicule and shame are the best tools we have - Here is a fiction story about a week in their clown shoes: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-write-a-sex-diary
There are vast swathes of the country where this stuff doesn't - couldn't - happen. And tbh, in the cities where it is happening, they've voted it in. Most of the people - the "decent" people who have normal values - have left.
The culture war, of which this is such a huge part, is going to force some sort of standoff or breakage to happen. People in majority red county states like mine - and there are many counties in the US that are red, if you look at the US voting results map by county - don't put up with this stuff. I never see it here. (Although in the blue city where we have a house and where I unfortunately have to go several days a month, there's more of it. But still not like the big zombie-zone cities.)
And that's really what is going to break, I think. Where the rift is going to come. The hundreds of millions of good people who would and do stand up to this but don't get on the news for being good and decent, who are ignored and denigrated and yet somehow manage to go on living good lives (sarcasm there) are going to revolt at some point. I live in a Southern, rural, agricultural, coastal county of pick up trucks, hunting, boats, commercial fishermen, and a church every mile that was 78% red in the last election. Our Sheriff is based. I think this is a "come and take it" community.
I agree but those of us who live in such areas need to be vigilant to protect them. There’s an influx of “refugees” from blue states that need to understand that their politics need to be left wherever they are fleeing from. If you vote in Texas like you did in San Francisco you’re just going to turn Texas into San Francisco.
The biggest city in my state (which is 100% red at the federal level and nearly that at the state level) held a drag queen story hour last year at the zoo. It garnered a lot of protest and controversy, a great many families including ours cancelled their memberships to the zoo in protest. However because they had 700 people attend the zoo declared it a success. Never mind that a large number of the 700 came from different parts of the state and even different states, have never supported or even been to the zoo before and won’t support it in the future. The city has >100,000 people in it. So their event got at best 0.7% acceptance from the community at large and they called it a success. I have no idea how many donors or memberships they lost, but I suspect it was more than 700. Maybe they lost enough memberships that they will just quietly decline to host any further events and hope that eventually families will forgive them and go back to supporting the zoo. But if it can successfully happen there it can happen pretty much anywhere.
"If you vote in Texas like you did in San Francisco you’re just going to turn Texas into San Francisco"
Texas will fall to Blue for this reason, it is inevitable, and will guarantee that no Republican is ever elected POTUS again
I love TX, I lived there for a while and don't have a bad word to say about the place or its citizens, however the "new arrivals" are a different matter and not in a good way
I still live in Texas and while there is an influx of people from failed states settling here there are also many fleeing those same states for “safety” and who understand how their states became the hellhole it is today. If that was the only way Texas would turn Blue, we’d hold the line. One of our issues is the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants being escorted across our borders every week. They will eventually be given amnesty by the Biden Regime, and told the only way they can keep their benefits is to vote to defeat the white supremacist Republicans. Just one more Soros, Deep State, Democrat plan to ruin this state and this nation!
I wish we could cut all of the freaks off who support this insanity. Let them burn in those filthy Hell-holes they consider vastly superior to Norman Rockwell's America. (Unrealistic as that world was it was idealistic rather than ugly and brutal. The world the Soycialists yearn for.)
Just walked along the seafront on our town Exmouth Devon. Did not se one transgender person, did not see any men dressed as women, did not see anything out of the normal over the last 26 years. Saw loads of fog walkers,families visiting the seaside and beach for the day, dozens of yachts going out for he day, swimmers, loads of people ladling surfboards, rowers in skiffs? Later today, the ice cream stands will be packed with customers and later on the day the fish and chip sellers will do a roaring trade. Life very normal” here.
Same where I live, but we have a couple of cities in our state that are getting there. My son just moved into a brand new apt complex in the downtown of our capital city which has a big parking garage and security. A couple of weeks ago, 19 cars were broken into including his. The thieves were apparently looking for weapons, as all the glove compartments and consoles were open but they left designer bags and laptops alone. Like they were out shopping... The mayor of this city allowed the BLM riots to go on, causing millions in damages to downtown businesses, demoralizing and driving off policemen and women. The good ones, anyway. The rest of our state is very red and this stuff is scarce as hen's teeth.
It did happen here. Three crappy years of a plandemic. We still have our criminals, but after what the governments did to us, the criminals are looking like saints. People just want to get on with their lives. And it looks like they are doing just that.
Thank you again. I’m not a religious person, but damn if this doesn’t feel like the end times! No one step in to protect her, unbelievable, men all around - shameful!
I wouldn’t be surprised if it were a very short, and final, one-way conversation.
Even if I got badly beaten, that would be far, far better than the humiliation of not stepping up to protect any woman, much less “my woman”. Black eyes and cuts get better. The wound to the soul would never heal.
Poor bustard probably wishes he could get a do-over.
There’s a guy in that video - a pretty “built” looking guy - standing right between that menace and the woman, and he doesn’t (at least as far as the video shows) do a damned thing to intervene. That to me was more shocking than the thug’s behavior. Was he too scared? Probably. But what if he’d mustered up the courage - or prayed for it right then - and simply stood between the thug and the woman? Who knows what would have happened next, but it would’ve been a noble and even heroic act. Maybe other men on the train would’ve stepped up also. I don’t know but the image of him just standing there watching a small woman get smacked by a much larger threatening male was more shameful than the thug himself.
I think that’s the moral of that whole story. Each of us, individually, are going to find ourselves at moments where we will be given a choice to act and what we do in that moment can determine the future of this country and how we want it to be. It may be Scary and full of risk, but you’ve got to follow your conscience. You just might be the very spark that ignites the movement that will reverse the madness going on around us.
“We all hang together (no matter where we are, or what the circumstances). Or we shall surely all hang separately.”
God, family, morals and ethics were the foundation and what is now sadly missing from western civilization.
If you don’t fear or even care what happens to your soul, what does it matter how you behave in this lifetime?
If one thing has become plainly obvious over these last few years, it is that the majority have prioritized accumulating money and materials over raising children and building virtue and character.
One obvious example - Studies warned us 20 years ago that social media was bad for mental health, yet here we are, almost every child has a smart phone or tablet in their hand. Parents have given the worst of the worst of humanity direct access to their children with no guidance or supervision. Literally serving our kids up to satan worshippers and cults. Absolutely shameful! Where are your frickin’ priorities?
Another example - what kind of parenting involves volunteering a child for an unnecessary medical experiment?? I don’t care if someone in a white coat told you it was “safe and effective”!! You are the parent! Your only job is to protect your child until they have the maturity and skills to protect themselves.
If a child grows up in a world where there own parents serve them up to whoever and whatever, why on earth would they stand up for anything or anyone?
"Another example - what kind of parenting involves volunteering a child for an unnecessary medical experiment?? I don’t care if someone in a white coat told you it was “safe and effective”!! You are the parent! Your only job is to protect your child until they have the maturity and skills to protect themselves."
I've never understood why a parent would volunteer their child for a drug trial. The trial is being done, ostensibly, because it's not known if the drug is dangerous or not.
I can only conclude that virtual signalling is more important to the parents than their kid's life.
I think there's also just naiveté. (And I'll allow, you could make the argument that virtue signalling is itself a form of naiveté.) From what I've read of the Maddie de Garay case, in which Maddie was severely injured in the Pfizer clinical trial held at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, her mother assumed it would be fine, because vaccines = good, and her kids wanted, really wanted to participate, and because "science." (That's not a direct quote but my summary of what I understood her to have said about it.) Now that Maddie is left in a wheelchair and with a feeding tube, I have no doubt that her mother regrets having allowed her to participate, regrets it painfully, every single day-- and more likely than not she knows perfectly well what most people would think of her for having allowed it. But here's the thing: Stephanie de Garay has had the guts to step up and go out in public and talk about it, as she did at Senator Ron Johnson's sessions, and also in various rallies for the injured. She knows that it was a horrible mistake, she sees the gaslighting and Pfizer's fraud (in having grossly misrepresented Maddie's injuries), and she is trying to help her daughter get the care she needs, and also to save other people. For her efforts, which have been tremendous, I sincerely salute her.
But whoa! They sure care what happens to their bodies!
I have tried to figure out why I wasn't afraid of Covid. Ever. I honestly think it was 2 things: I have experience in alternative medicine and I believe in heaven. Not really afraid of death.
I have autoimmune problems. But even according to the CDC (unreliable I know) I only had a 0.5% chance of dying from Covid. High risk with 199 out of 200 chance of survival. I'd try to point this out to a Covidian and they'd say, "But do you really want to take such a risk?" I'd try pointing out risk is unavoidable. Funny how eager they were to risk a highly experimental, untested, gene modifying shot. Hopeless idiots. I gave up reasoning with them long ago. Not stupid so much as mentally lazy, image obsessed and shallow.
"... majority have prioritized accumulating money and materials over raising children and building virtue and character."
I feel proud to be in the minority, having raised a daughter and son (15 years apart), both of whom I am immensely proud. We didn't all shirk our responsibilities and some of us can justly call our children our greatest successes!
I’ve read most of these comments and for me, here’s the bottom line:
If this amount of brutish, criminal, behavior exists now, what happens if the food supply dries up or the lights go out? What happens when there are fewer and fewer consequences for this type of behavior?
Teach your children how to defend themselves.
Teach yourself how to defend yourself.
Second Amendment.
Situational awareness at all times.
STAND UP - HOLD THE LINE.
Your life, our lives, and civilization depends on it.
You Americans are so lucky you have the second amendment. There can be no peace through weakness. Keep your firearms the governments coming for you. I’m Canadian government has come for us.
The government is the enemy . Your neighbour is the enemy because they are fully propagandized. You’re human resources department is the enemy. Your child has been brainwashed. The schools are turning out idiots.
The left wing has turned into a totalitarian cult.
What so many forget or can't see is the idiots in charge are just place holders. They are unafraid of public rage because they plan on flying off to private islands with handsome pensions (from Papa Klaus) at the end of this.
Megalomanics never part with money and power and refuse to make even the tiniest concessions as they feel it demonstrates weakness. After all, gangsters are supposed to be tough. 😁
Interestingly, the technique is a little more insidious.
It's not that they've "normalized the abnormal", it's that they have conflated "normal" and "natural".
Transvestites occur naturally, however such people are not normal under any useful definition of the word.
Normalizing every naturally occurring phenomenon is a certain path to bad outcomes, as discernment becomes impossible and is flagged as an "ism" with the attendant abuse forthcoming. When there is in fact no "normal" everything is a free for all - which is what the deconstructionists really want, a society free of all "norms" ... anarchy
You say these situations are not about race, but they are very strongly race-coded. Imagine it had been a white man, rather than a white woman, who had stood up to the black man in that video. Imagine that he had punched back. In fact we do not need to imagine what would happen - we saw the results of this recently, with Daniel Penny, who acted to protect the other passengers from a violent lunatic, and was subsequently arrested for being white.
The reason everyone just stands there and takes it is that everyone understands the game. Black people are allowed to do what they want, white people will be punished to the full extent of the law - to say nothing of punishment in the court of public opinion - for trying to enforce basic norms of civility. Push back against this, and risk having your life ruined. There are too many examples to list.
Perhaps this is changing, after all Penny's legal defense fund raised $2 million. Many are sick of this. But the DA's offices remain in the hands of race fanatics who consider "fascism" to be synonymous with "citizens who dislike crime", most especially if the crime is black and the citizens are white. If we're going to have color-blind order in the streets that works for everyone (and I believe most want this, of every color), these fantastics will need to be removed from office, and their supporters shouted down and shamed into silence.
You're 100% correct.
Step #1 in turning this around is to speak truth. And what's going on is an updated version of the Bolshevik's Who/Whom? question. With race this time, not class. Although, upon reflection, class also plays into it as the middle class (overwhelmingly white) is being demonized. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that this is the group who will be destroyed by globalization. It's probably also a coincidence that the Brandon administration is warning about the dangers of "white nationalism/supremacy." It's almost like they expect resistance from the people they're abusing.
The fate of Western Civilization is at stake here. Society's elite, traditionally its champions, are gleefully taking a sledgehammer to every one of its pillars.
Chris Bray correctly writes that society is strong from below (think Canadian truck drivers) but weak at the top (our "experts" and every coward who knows better but keeps quiet in order to cash a check.) The problem is, how do we organize this might without Merrick Garland's FBI coming down on them like a ton of bricks?
Bray's right, to a degree, but the fish rots from the head - the lower classes too are full of hicklibs who have OD'd on genderpills, for instance. Mimesis is a powerful thing.
In any case, we very clearly need to circulate the elites. Indeed I think this is already happening. The legacy media, for example, is increasingly ignored in favor of independent media. The prestige of the academies is being drawn down fast, with competition from independent researchers, philosophers, and scientists who have honed their abilities in the online agon displacing the old intellectual elites - who are largely a joke at this point. In the private sector, you have billionaires like Musk, Thiel, or Andreeson, who are forming a coalition against the Davos set.
Power is largely a matter of perception and allegiance. Strip all of the legal fluff away, and people have power because other people listen to them and do what they say. It's a kind of attention economy, in other words. The old elite have a lock on all the symbols of legitimacy, but nothing beyond this. As their mindshare diminishes, so does their power.
Resistance is forming, and I hope it's legit and not a limited hangout.
The MSM has lost all credibility and people are tuning them out. What concerns me is the totalitarian movement towards censorship and punishment of those standing up against the lies with harsh laws against "misinformation" and "hate speech" going on in Europe, especially.
It would not surprise me if the internet were to go down (Klaus and the boys have gone on about it for a while now) and restarted with unofficial voices purged. Not sure if you recall this but during the summer of 2020, Google rendered many conservative and Christian websites inaccessible. A test run for what's coming?
John - it is happening. In my neighborhood we just formed a group called "Dissident Dad's". It is a group who speaks out at school boards and other forums that speak out with common sense.
I live in a neighborhood of 163 houses and we have 41 "members" from every stripe that are sick of the assault on our children.
We have created the reverse type of pressure with very little pushback.
That's fantastic news. That's how it's done: one person at a time, one schoolboard at a time. Good luck. Keep the pressure on. Curb stomp any leftist garbage ideas trying to get a foothold in the community.
Sadly, in my neck of the woods, the opposite is going on. My search for homes in a nearby Red State continues...
God bless you, Ryan. I know He honors this.
Where do you live, Ryan? Sounds like a great neighborhood! Keep up the great work!
Between Tampa and Sarasota. We started it about 3 months ago. Our first meeting was about how they were teaching math at school...of all things!
There was only 7 of us to begin with. Several other guys from nearby neighborhoods have joined.
I think it has potential to be replicated. The one issue is a lot of younger fathers don't have their "voice" yet...in other words; wisdom.
I honestly think it's up to older fathers to "show" the way.
"Authenticated" Internet (for public safety, of course) is a huge concern. The entire population will be helpless without real information and news. Please encourage and assist all efforts to create peer-to-peer mesh and super wi-fi networks that can form an alternate Internet backbone. The options today are meager, where they exist at all. Radio is a start, but is grossly inadequate.
They don't even really need to render them inaccessible, simply fact check them into obscurity. We've seen how they don't necessarily have to "censor" all they have to do is fact check, brand, and otherwise "bias" the dissent.
First off, thank you introducing me to a new word (mimesis). I will be sure to remember and use it.
There is indeed a strong resistance which in only strengthening each passing day. However we need to be acutely aware of the strength and determination of our enemy and that they are growing as well in both ferocity and reach, mostly due to the endless and unchecked increases in government power they have facilitated. That power craves more power and fears losing any.
The Left has one of the two major parties (one shore of the Swamp) completely under its oppressive thumb. Rarely do we see any significant intra-party conflicts within the Donkeys. This party has the full force of the Executive branch along with its intelligence, brutal enforcement, and incarceration capacities in which to impose its agenda while crushing any dissent. All of which is heralded and celebrated by the MSM and the Hollywood propaganda machinery and swallowed whole by a populace brainwashed (and bankrupted) through academia and anesthetized via the constant intake of psychopharmaceuticals and TikTok.
We in the opposition are forced to turn to the GOP as our horse in the race. Talk about a party in schism. Half if not more are openly Uniparty Eunuchs, loyal to the Deep State and their own net worth. That leaves likely less than half of one of the two parties to fight with. Call it the MAGA wing if you like. Unless we can unite the GOP, the next election (and the ones after that) will continue to be splintered with money and efforts wasted on internal struggles for dominance instead of fighting the real enemy. They piss away resources and (all too limited) attention spans constantly screeching about abortion and trans kids. Those are distractions and misdirections intended to keep you focused away from the really bad shit they are pulling. Ukraine come immediately to mind here.
We have our work cut out for us, and that work begins at home. The next 18 months may very well be the most critical in our history. I seriously don't believe that America can survive another 4 years of this, at least not the America we all grew up in and love.
The thing is, the horse in the race is us. Government is not the answer, the dismantling of it is. And the good news is they are doing some of the work for us, ironically. The GOP are government Lite™. Look no further than Kemp good ol' boying his way around Georgia saying there were no mask mandates and showing correct mask hygiene.
Government isn't the answer, no. But We the Proles cannot expect to take on both parties aligned against us. We either work the system from within, what little that is left of our actual Democracy, or we stage a full-on insurrection. As that babbling Muppet installed in 1600 said:
"If you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons"
Let's pick a fight we can win.
The parties are aligned against us. If not in word then in deed. That train has already left the station. Where are the Covid investigations? Where is the rage against the war in the Ukraine? Where is there speaking out against inflation and the printing out money? Why isn't Fauci in jail? Why aren't all levels of government being investigated (this question is rhetorical). They can't even address the homeless situation much less understand basic economics, and they have control of the reins.
I think we can be aggressively non aggressive. Take the woman in the subway as an example. Suppose the guy with the hat on said nothing, did not engage verbally, but stepped in front of the woman. The man would yell, he might hit the guy, he could very well have a weapon drawn on him, but what would happen had the man simply blocked access to the woman?
Is it really only "work within or insurrection without?" In truth, we are all in the system. What about subverting the system. Being in it, but in our way either fighting against the dying of the light, or making fun of it, pointing it out, ridiculing it and not complying with it?
There is a book out there that outlines non violent protest, and subverting the system. It also teaches that there is very real sacrifice, and it could mean the life you lose is your own.
"If you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons"
I respectfully disagree ‐ fighter jets cannot stop you on the street to check your papers or search your house for contraband. You need police to maintain a police state. Most military hardware is useless against a domestic uprising; the aim of a tyrant is to control not kill, as no one wants to rule a nation of corpses.
I wasted a fair amount of time in my younger years trying to "work for change from within." I declare it improbable at best. Certain unspoken goals, abject corruption, and simple ossification of habits render it highly unlikely that you can change anything.
The better strategy would be to side-step these institutions and organizations and simply start over.
That line by itself is clear grounds for impeachment (and he has repeated it since then). Those "F-15s and nukes" are not his personal toys; they belong to the people of the U.S. and they exist for the sole purpose of defending American citizens from foreign attack. Just the thought of using them against those citizens renders him unfit for office (which, of course he already was).
Spot on!
The article is perfectly spot on. Look, pick your poison- into the breach or cower in fear. Everything has consequences. When we look in the mirror, what can we live with is the question.
This happened in NYC and not Prescott,AZ or Laramie, WY for a reason. The bully likes a soft target always, and the blue cities are usually a preview for the rest of the country when it comes to societal trends.
The libtards voted for this. Everybody else should GTF out of NYC. It’s gonna get worse before it gets better. The more we stand up the more will stand up. Courage is contagious. I’m not Captain America, far from it,he’s a big guy, but he needs some knuckle powered attitude adjustment.
Spot on. What's worse saying something or saying nothing?
I have found that the anticipation of saying something produces more anxiety (and social cost) than actually saying something.
There are also those who've become so sunk in despair that they advocate giving up. I think telling others to give up is even worse than just staying silent.
This is why both encouragement and leadership are so important.
We have to keep it in front of folks.
It ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.
Something like that.
I think most people will find out; "blowing shit" up is much easier than the road of silence.
Do you remember me mentioning that "Dissident Dads" group a couple of my neighbors helped me start?
Well it's working and expanding. I live in an area called Fishhawk. It's an area of influence. Anyway this movement was starting to gain enough traction that folks are referring to the group as the "Fishhawk Four" because the area is split into 4 distinct private neighborhoods.
We've expanded beyond schools to city, county meetings, etc., etc.
The whole idea is to have at least twice as many regular folks at meetings as there are bureaucrats and council members. We switch up who's going to meetings so it gives the appearance of "familiarity" but also numbers.
We wear shirts that say "We're Watching". I could explain results but i don't want to ramble on. The challenge is logistics, coordination and making sure some of the younger fathers stay engaged (it's critical to have "older fathers" as leaders ((wisdom and "status")).
Anyway this is fairly straightforward and I believe can be replicated far and wide. I'm going to establish a 501 C in an effort to further organize and expand.
Any marketing ideas, strategy/tactics you may have would be more than welcome.
If you have a bat phone to that crazy cat at mr. peters house see what he thinks
This is true.

“Escape From NY” & “Escape from LA” were prophetic
They want people to leave the lie cities, they are destroyed, and then continue their same enlightened voting patterns in red areas to continue the destruction. What will you do?
The point is you need bastions of strength. You aren’t going to get that in Gotham. You might get it elsewhere. A lot of blue states like California and NY are too far gone. You don’t build a resistance stronghold in the middle of enemy territory where you are vastly outnumbered if you can avoid it. Maybe Long Island or Upstate is better in NY. I don’t really know, but NYC - forget it.
I think you can take virtually any state in the union - even NY, CA, IL (ad nauseum) & you’ll see that the vast majority of each are bright RED w/ patches of blue that happen to be the festering big cities that out-populate & thus out-vote the rural reds.... The map for every presidential election shows this....
I think that those of us in solid and reliably red counties, towns, and townships need to band together and as part of unofficially "welcoming" new arrivals into our communities, vet them to find out not what their political orientation is, but rather what their values are – and take note and observe.
Most who are of a leftist bent cannot help but announce it in some way or another. We then, can make sure they are exposed to as much faith, freedom, and patriotism, as possible so that they are almost immersed in it. They will either come to embrace it, or they will feel so out of place that they move away. Win-win.
Kind of like the Babylon Bee skit with the California transplants to Texas.
Knuckles not necessarily needed. But he definitely needs to know there COULD BE knuckle powered adjustment. He was bouncing back and forth throughout this episode...alternating I think between fear and rage. RAGE that he had been denied, and somewhere in there knowing he was clearly in the wrong.
Maybe. Once he hit that lady, he needed some attention to his nose and chin. Just sayin’
But if he knew that three guys were going to smack him, he never would have pulled this crap. Who hits a girl? I mean seriously... if you are so insecure that you need to hit a woman 1/2 your size who poses no threat, you’re a villain. There is no justification for that.
Maybe I wasn't being clear, it can happen, I apologize. When I say that the man in the ballcap could have intervened, I meant "before" the woman was hit. As soon as the conflict began.
In our pre-woke society where all our maladies were systemic, the interaction would never have taken place because one of us members of the tyrannical patriarchy would have stepped in.
"Sir, could you please not shove your way and yell your way through the crowd."
I know exactly what that guy with the ballcap was feeling. "If I do something, I am going to be called a racist."
Imagine if the women taping the exchange had witnessed the white guy confronting the black guy who was forcing his way on the train. I think it would be another statistic decontexted form of racism. Instead that guy looked like he wished he had a cloaking device.
What I was pointing out is there is a nonviolent end to this. If I had been standing beside the woman, I would have simply stepped in. If I was insulted and pushed. then I would be insulted and pushed.
You're right though, the correct answer for when a man strikes a woman is that he should at least be restrained, forcibly ejected at the next subway stop. I don't think he should be beaten. I have a sneaking suspicion he already has had enough of that in his life and this is part of what makes him who he is.
The terrorizing of normal people in the streets is very reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s. We’ve already had nearly three years of the Digital Brownshirts ruining the lives of anyone who expressed even mild resistance. This is NOT a minor thing -- REAL people have lost their jobs, families, friends, and -- most importantly their futures -- over minor objections to a woke-cause-de-jour!
Leading up to Kristallnacht, the Brownshirts paraded through the streets, and anyone who refused to salute (or sometimes if one didn’t salute quickly enough) was beaten in full view of the crowd, for maximum impact. Does that sound like the video Gato posted , or some of the tactics we saw during BLM’s “summer of love”? You’re darn tootin’ it does! The 2020 video of outdoor dining patrons being bullied by a mob comes to mind... And this recent campaign of random acts of violence by blacks against Whites/Asians seems to be a similar attempt to brutalize us into compliance. (BTW, a really good description of this process in Germany can be found in Erik Larson’s “In the Garden of Beasts; after reading it, I truly felt that I had a better understanding of how so few co-opted so many.)
Although I’m ultimately a cynic/pessimist, I can FEEL the winds of resistance starting to blow. Yesterday in the car I happened to listen to a country music station, and I was absolutely gob-smacked to hear a just-released Jason Aldean song “Try that in a Small Town”. If an established performer DARES to release a song like that...interesting.
Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like
Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you're tough
[Chorus]
Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
'Round here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town
[Verse 2]
Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they're gonna round up
Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck
[Repeat chorus]
Police and military are recruited from among US, the American people. And they may well be utilized to squash us, just like happened in WW2. An eye opening book that delves into a group of ordinary citizens and what they were coerced into doing for "the state" is in the book "Ordinary Men" by Christopher Browning. A most sobering read.
https://www.amazon.com/Ordinary-Men-Reserve-Battalion-Solution/dp/0062303023/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Ordinary+men&qid=1684645344&sr=8-1
I just bought that song to add to my play list. We need to support those who speak up against the decay.
Don't be too sure about Musk. His new Twitter CEO is literally WEF, and predicts CBDC in 2024. Further Musk is a transhumanist.
disagree, this is, as it basically has always been, a class question - the deepstate is seeing Trump's populism MAGA gang standing tall with a leader and demanding Democracy, and they are smashing it back with everything thing they have - one important weapon, as it has always been, is divide and conquer, and running around screaming RACE!!!!!! is a big dogewhistle for a lot of people still. RE 'strong from below weak at the top' - not really, yes there's a lot of strength 'below', but clearly the 'top' is very strong, with their control of the means of violence, and unfortunately we have a very weak 'middle', either totally brainwashed as the lower levels of the managerial class, or timid and afraid of losing what they have so 'going along to get along' as it were
Yes, it really is that simple. Just look at the history of leftist tactics over the past couple hundred years. They've been consistent because what they do works. Their mission has always been to destroy, disrupt, and disassemble. They are accommodated by a powerful physical principle: entropy. Leftist have the easiest job on the planet. It's straight from the Marxist mandate to "criticize everything ruthlessly."
That's the extent of the leftist skill set.
It's all they have.
They don't build.
They don't bring solutions.
They don't expend productive energy.
They criticize - just as their spirit god mandated they do.
There isn't a more secure job on this goddam planet than being a leftist.
you're way way way too deep into the capitalist koolaid, it's not 'the left' doing all the bad stuff here and for the last 150 years or so, it's the capitalists trying to smash down anyone fighting for democracy, and very cleverly convincing people like you it's not them but some straw dog they created and labeled 'the left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' - I doubt you're saveable, but if you want to see about a Saul moment you could try - It's not 'the left' trying to take over the world and shut down free speech and all that other bad stuff - it's 'the right'!! - https://www.rudemacedon.ca/vgi/backgrounders/collectivist%20plot%20omg.html
I tried to get through your "essay", Dave. One strawman after another. By the time I got to your rant that "capital" means only *big* capital, as a smalI businessman who knows exactly what kind of capital I need, I was pretty sure the rest of your writing would be more of the same and cut my losses.
Sorry, dude. There is no "there" there.
Comic sans is an indicator. What kind of sane human being would use comic sans. (Meanwhile hides own handwritten font that is a form of comic sans).
Right.
You leftist barbarians have slaughtered hundreds of millions of innocents just in the 20th Century alone, and have destroyed every society, polity and economy you've ever seized control of.
From the New World colony of Jamestown, where your poisonous creed resulted in the starvation of nearly all the colonists, to the French Revolution where you lot roasted babies alive in bread ovens and drowned children in sacks, through the unspeakable genocides and oppressions of Mao, Stalin and Hitler, right up to modern-day Venezuela, once a prosperous nation with the largest oil reserves in the world, which you lot have transformed into a totalitarian nightmare, where the former middle class was reduced to eating tacos del gato.
The degradation of standards: political, legal, economic, social that we are enduring today are the end result of a century of progressivism, an infernal combination of international and national socialist strains, that is destroying our civilization.
It is nearly beyond belief that in this day and age, after this track record, that we still are subjected to depraved leftist barbarians spouting destructive nonsense, and they are not run out of town on a rail.
Shame on you.
I don't suppose it will do much good, but I've pretty thoroughly deconstructed all of this nonsense here - Pure Evil Indeed - but who?? - https://www.rudemacedon.ca/DSG/A3c-big-lies-2a-pureevil.html . What the anglo-american capitalists have been up to the last couple of hundred years puts everything else in the shade. You're a small businessman - that's great, backbone of society - any society - but 'capitalism' refers to those who **control** the 'capital', and use that control to exploit everyone else. Anyways, if you're all not willing to engage in what I've written but just run off to your stupid baseless straw dog insults, there's not much point in continuing. Have a nice day with your friendly capitalist masters, I'm sure they appreciate your support as they put their chains around you and run your country into the ground. I suppose I'm going to banned from this place too.
I was on the left for 48 years. I know their playbook well. Very well. Being a trial lawyer for 35 years, it was damn near mandatory to adopt their agenda and support them financially. But thanks for the lecture. Your evangelization tactics fall flat with me.
I think the term starts with 'useful' and ends with - ahh - something starting with 'idiot' ...
Not the capitalists - the corporatists - the true anti-capitalists who would eliminate competition from smaller enterprises through onerous regulation and compliance with cost-prohibitive penalties for non-compliance.
The term "capitalism" is confusing. I use it to mean a free market. Others insist it means our current banking system with the established monopolies. I don't want government OR corporations holding absolute power over everyone. Cronyism is not about freedom of the marketplace.
LOL, I have seen End is nigh sandwhichboard rants that make more sense than your rant. Ultra-Lulz!
haha ignorance is bliss as they say ...
Thank you Dave for using Comic Sans in your diatribe.
Standing alone while everyone is saying things like you are racist, uneducated, not thinking clearly is both scary and hard. I did this in college in the 1970s. While I got a nice note from the administrator, my fellow classmates kept their mouths shut. Except for the druggies who I stood up to, even my own mother called me stupid. It hurt and it taught me that some people just want to be victims and others just want to be quiet and go with the flow. I see the same thing played out with the Jan. 6 protests, BLM protests, and there are so many more examples. The current political landscape, is such that people who made up, lied, fabricated the Russian interference are criminally liable. Clintons, Biden, congress people, senators, FBI, CIA, are in power now and there is no rule of law for them. The very average person and I include myself is dealing with aging parents, new job landscape, new economic forces, mental health issues the squeeze of all of this, and more hitting you full force. How does the average person protect themselves from being cancelled, job pulled out from them, lawyer fees and the list goes on. Individual are going to have to make friends with like minded people, learn how to be self sufficient, stock a cellar, learn to shoot a gun, and truly take care of one another. I urge you to look past the color of someone and talk to them, asking them how they are doing. TINFOIL HAT TIME; I have always thought that our government had been psyoping the black community. The government paid you money if you were not with your spouse, make everyone dependent upon that check from the government. If you tried to get out of this system, you were looked at as being “uppity”, “not one of us, stupid, a failure. Once the government saw this community breakdown, what worked, what didn’t, how to introduce drugs into the community, it became a blueprint if you will, a manual on how to do this to all communities. African Americans were not the only ones targeted, American Indians, and maybe even others. I don’t know where we will be at the end of 2024. I almost believe that what is here now, food, gas electricity, communities may not be here then. It is 50-50 because this right now is breaking down and I believe it needs to. Sadly.
you've nailed it.
imagine this was a white man doing that to a black woman?? The world would end. The man would be thrown under the jail. The president would call out the perpertrator and use him as an example of the dangerous white supremacy that is the number one threat to society. AOC would take photo-ops jumping in front of trains. Riots would break out. Our society is broken. Justice doesnt exist.
Indeed. But it is very difficult to imagine a white man doing that to a black woman.
As a black man, sick to his damned stomach watching that exchange, I wish one thing. I wish I could say you were wrong and believe it. I cannot, and that disgusts and disappoints me on a lot of levels.
It would sicken and disgust me equally, were the situation reversed. If that makes you feel any better.
Black people have fallen far in the last forty years or so. Mostly thanks to the enabling behavior of white liberals, although blacks did their part. But in truth I'm watching the same decay set in throughout the white underclass and it turns my stomach and breaks my heart. There's a sickness in this land which is rotting through everything, making us all lesser beings than we should be.
In my opinion, the saddest part of this situation is that it's a minority of black people doing those things. Decent black people are ignored or even victimized. We don't have those in power telling us to say David Dorn's name, instead they elevate criminals.
This is a big problem, elevating criminals. Jason Whitlock speaks on it alot. The media is creating martyrs out of career criminals and low lifes.
Yep. Majority of black people getting screwed by this - they're the first victims of the crime, and it's their reputation that suffers on top of that. They get hit twice.
So that supposed majority could fix things very easily because they are free to speak out by virtue of being black. Why isn't that happening?
Exactly.
“People Sleep Peacefully in Their Beds at Night Only Because Rough Men Stand Ready to Do Violence on Their Behalf” George Orwell
A member of an "oppressed" group gets to rob, violate or kill a member of the "privileged" group with impunity. That's not justice but feuding. Vengeful spite and envy because one person imagines others have it easy.
The folks in charge of this anarcho tyranny cheer it on. They don't give a rip about anyone of any group (outside their special club) and oppress us all from behind the curtains or through passive aggressive policies. Divide and conquer.
The most important division the Club has cultivated is the all too literal war between the sexes. There can be no civilization where men and women hate each other. (And some can't even say what men or women are.)
Yes, exactly. The racial division is stoked in order to keep the white helot class in a state of perpetual fear and submission. The sexual division is stoked in order to keep the helots isolated and weak.
It's not helping black people either.
Burning down my neighbor's house won't put a roof over my head.
Sure, but that isn't the point of the policies. The target is the white population.
White people are the new Kulaks. They represent the middle class. Bring that down and everyone will suffer. Ditto for bringing down men as fathers, husbands, and community leaders. That will leave women and children at the mercy of the State.
this is very true--and I see the effect growing. 5 years ago I and many I know were proud that society was allowing blacks to flourish--many have and will. But last few years (bec of obama and the orchestrated BLM actions), if you are a sane white person you will not trust any black person. most blacks are not violent. but how can one tell the difference? so it is constant suspicion, caution, avoidance etc.
Race relations consistently improved up until 2013. After that, they took a nosedive and have steadily worsened since.
When one is young you start to learn what “hip” is. “Hip” is what impresses you and you learn to imitate it and pass it off as “yours.” You get rewards for this. It is practical vanity. The rewards are at many scales up to and including being worshipped as “A Rock Star” “Movie Star” “_____Star.” Getting “recognized” as an “Artist” is a popular goal many pursue in this format. The developing young person encounters “originality” and is impressed, even if the “originality” they are being impressed by is a borrowed counterfeit. I think I read once that Abstract Expressionism was a created movement created or seeded deliberately by state actors for political purposes, for example. Henry Schaefer-Simmern was a painter who left Weimar Germany and made his way to the art faculty at UCBerkeley. Earlier he had a successful career going as an artist until one day he had an epiphany about art, declared himself a fraud, and started over. He complained that when AbEx came into vogue, one by one the art faculty at Berkeley capitulated and became abstract expressionists! He spoke out about this and had to part ways with the school.
"I think I read once that Abstract Expressionism was a created movement created or seeded deliberately by state actors for political purposes"...
This is VERY interesting, where can I read more?
Sorry, I don’t remember. But look at who and what gets pushed in the “Art World.” For example “Piss Christ.” The guy who put that one together was lionized as some kind of a genius. I remember reading about some painter, Chris Ofili? And how his painting of slime kind of a Madonna (I typed “some kind of Madonna” but the phone saw fit to change it to “slime”—where did THAT come from???—-It’s coming at us fast and furious, folks!) So I’m reading about the Ofili painting and they breathlessly share that one of the materials of the painting is “elephant dung.” I don’t think this is “accidental..” I think that the people that control the reins of money-printing and media are just laughing in their sleeves as they freely take shots at the hated “Whiteness” “Christianity” “Maleness” punching bags they have been setting up as they show the impressionable kids in schools what is the “official” “hip” opinion to hold and what they should admire and buy if they want to be “cool” and “progressive” and “avant-garde.”
Yup. That's one kind of "hate speech" that's not only acceptable, but even endorsed by the speech police.
We can blame everything on the French. The mockery of the middle class as contemptible pinch-faced enemies of the artistic soul formed the staple reading lists in both English and French classes in HS and college.
And the celebration of French cinema with *its* celebrations of pedophilia and tender loving incest; with Candice Bergen's husband making kiddie porn out of Brooke Shields and then everyone wanting to buy those Calvins--
Americans were too afraid of being called philistines for not admiring the inadmirable got us right here.
Precisely. It is textbook Anarcho-tyranny. A purer strain could not be created in a petri dish. Until we call it what it is, I'm not sure we stand a chance against it.
Not just white people. The bodega worker who killed his attacker after being stabbed, and then was arrested and charged with murder before an outcry ended in those charges being dropped, was Dominican.
The hierarchies are well understood now.
It takes little bravery to contribute to a defense fund. Penny's life is ruined now. An acquittal won't give it back. Everyone understands this. People in media and online commenters are still trying to lynch Kyle Rittenhouse after his acquittal in a trial whose video evidence was stark in his favor.
This is true. There was also the retired black cop, I think he ran a pawn shop or something, who was murdered without blinking by BLM rioters, and the media simply shrugged.
At the intraracial level of granularity, black criminals are considered higher status than law-abiding blacks on the victim hierarchy.
No middle class black person has value in this hierarchy. And that retired black cop, I think, was providing security for the pawn shop. And leaves a white widow.
The retired black cop was David Dorn. The pawn shop belonged to his friend and he was providing it security. His grandson actually witnessed his death as one of the rioters posted a video of his last moments. The entire event was horrible, but you'll never read about it in the MSM.
I didn't know the part about the grandson. What a foul story. The media are pigs.
The more I learn about David Dorn's death, the worse it is. I am determined to not allow his name to be forgotten. We need to celebrate heroes and he is a man worthy of the greatest respect.
Kyle seems to be doing alright these days. He appears to be a minor internet celebrity.
Not really doing alright, is that?
I think nothing changes until the "middle" realizes that the overlords are really just employing every trick known to man to push us against each other, not pulling us apart.
The result is a yawning gap on two sides of the fault line where the overlords keep distance and keep accumulating power through distraction - thereby discouraging courage for fear of the power of those in the ivory towers. Those in the towers want us to believe something, with their "long view" that we know not to be true from our experience on the ground.
This man should've been pummeled by several other men, damn the consequences.

it's only become more focused on 'race' the last few years (since Trump) when the deep state party ('dems') and deep state media (all mainstream except Fox) started screaming RACE RACE RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as part of their big 'divide divide diVIDE people!!!!!!!!!!!!' push - been quite effective obviously, but I think the US is not really a 'racist society' - sure they were a long time ago, but since the 'new enlightenment' got underway in the 50s and 60s, things have progressively gotten better and better, and generally remain so, regardless of the deepstate antifa freaks and etc
they need some sort of angle to keep the other side from assembling. White supremacy is an easy reason. Then they call white supremacists terrorists. The media then calls any trump supporter or republican a white supremacist, thus a terrorist. The government then shuts down all speech from the terrorists, and any assembly they hold can lead to being jailed indefinetly under the patriot act. I expect utter mayhem to erupt during trumps campaign. Multiple CIA and FBI psy-ops and false flags at Trump rallies that lead to violence. Expect to see news stories about dangerous anti-government trump supporters to pop up in the media and on twitter.The entire framework has been put in place, the Jan 6th farce was the intro.
They also call black conservatives (like Larry Elder) the "black face" of "white supremacy."
A white woman dressed up AS A GORILLA and threw eggs at him. Complete silence from the media about this example of "white supremacy" -- because it didn't advance the narrative.
Sad, but inevitable
well, if they're going to keep slandering us and claiming that's what we are regardless of what we do or don't do, maybe it's finally time to to say "fuck it all" and fully embrace being "white supremacists terrorists", and then clean the damn trash out of our house for good - both at the bottom and the top of the economic spectrum...
You nailed it exactly.

Of course, the fact that the seditious conspiracy statute COULD apply to anybody is exactly the point. The people playing on the “right” team will never face charges like this. They said that Ray Epps wasn’t charged because he didn’t go into the Capitol — yet that excuse was just destroyed by the conviction of not-even-in-DC Enrique Tarrio. Instead, Epps gets fawning stories in the NYT and on 60 Minutes, an even got a sort-of apology from the 1/6 Committee! Gee, why would Democrats defend the one person who’s on tape THE NIGHT BEFORE telling people to go into the Capitol even though he “might be arrested” for saying it? It’s a mystery!
He's a protected FBI informant, that's why.
Dave, time to look in the mirror. This didn’t start with Trump. This started with his predecessor, but you, of course, will never acknowledge that possibility.
Thanks Judy, you said it for me!
It actually started in 2013 with Obama's second term.
correct. but that is changing. only a very stupid person would turn his back on a black make ages 10-30. you odds are against you if you do. sort of like seat belts. head on a swivel is today's situational awareness.
You said it! Let’s not pretend this is some mystery. Most of the forms of lawlessness mentioned in the article have a racial component. Underclass blacks rob and beat with impunity because of (((liberal))) and often (((Soros)))-funded attorneys, judges, and DAs, who have essentially criminalized white self-defense. The European tradition of chivalry is being replaced by the erasure of women, driven by trans mania, which is in turn driven by our friends in the (((alternative sexuality))) community. It’s always the same people corrupting and weaponizing our social
But the erasure of women is not without its origin in the hardcore feminist (men are useless) crowd. To an extent, women are just reaping the inevitable consequences. Few men now are willing to risk feminist wrath for being “gallant”. We need an entire resetting of values in the West.
Maybe you can enlighten the readership as to the meaning of those triple parentheses and why you surrounded those particular words with them.

Just a wild guess
Maybe you could clarify for our readership
John, re the despicable Penny situation, people are starting to put money where their mouths SHOULD be but at least it’s a start.
Nah they just didn't want to take any risk. It's not the state they fear, but violence from the guy himself. All part of the zero-risk culture.
So much to loose, so little to gain from an individual getting involved.
These ignorant statements are contradicted by all of the data. Your statements are only supported by video anecdotes, which are by their very nature hyperbolic.
Yes. The Daniel Penny case came to my mind too. He didn't act alone either, there was a black man and a Hispanic man that assisted him in restraining the man who died, but only Daniel Penny is being charged. If race wasn't an important factor, then either all three should be charged or none of them should be (I think none should be charged, myself).
That only works in systemically democrat controlled areas. Leave them and the majority will vote blue in the red states. You still have the mind virus. That's their plan to USE you.
It happened to me
You did hit on the point that people who stand against him are *afraid* of the state. Look at the marine who took that lunatic down on the train, or the security guard who did his job against a violent aggressor. These people have their lives profoundly disrupted at best, destroyed at worst, for standing up. And the middle aged white woman who gets up before the school board or city council and says, let’s not have gay porn be a topic in kindergarten and let’s keep junkies from camping in the playground gets shredded and mocked by her peers, and then it goes viral.
The price is high. The price for not acting is HIGHER, it’s true, but the price is high, and it’s important to find ways to stand together or it won’t happen, because standing alone and being cast out of the tribe means death in the wilderness, and that’s baked into our biology.
indeed, and one wonders if this price has not been inflated on purpose as a means to alienate society from its ability to set and defend its own standards.
this is the nasty edge of ideas like "hate crimes" because hate crime is really just another word for "thought crime."
it's not "what you did" it's "why we think you did it" that matters and this erects unequal and biased standards. the sorts of DA's that champion this and fail to charge and convict on violent crimes and robberies are staring us down and saying "i have taken your civilization."
the question is "what are we going to do about it?"
because this status quo sure seems not to be working.
it's also why we should WANT to be on juries. they are the last defense against these sorts of rigged laws. you can always nullify them and chose morality over legalism.
that's a feature of our system, not a bug.
I do drag myself up to our mini-Mordor-on-the-Kennebec to sit in committee hearings occasionally or to stand with the crowds. I want them to know they don’t have my approval or permission, even if they have the power through force.
Is it possible to start setting up large representative groups, joined up groups in each country, something like Gov (but not a crime syndicate), to start really representing the people?
"because standing alone and being cast out of the tribe means death in the wilderness, and that’s baked into our biology."
Then our task is to ensure that cast the guy on the train is the one who's cast out of the tribe. But, as you note, there is a cost - especially if you think you're alone.
But look here *points at El Gato Substack on phone [work with me here]*: You, _WE_ are not alone. Just one of us has to stand up. Paraphrasing The Bad Cat: We can't be peaceful if we're not willing to fight for peace.
We the Little People, Us here people, are not alone.
https://youtu.be/nJIlHw73jds?start=140&end=164
indeed.
silencing people and setting them against one another is what makes civilization malfunction. in regaining or speech, our agency, and our standards lies the power to reestablish a society by the people for the people.
if just 2 men wouldve walked over by that woman and told that man to leave her alone, the coward would have done nothing but continue to yell like a child. If it was 3 or 4 he probably wouldve just turned around and shut up. It astounds me that people can just stand there and watch this and do nothing. NYC is a shithole full of selfish do nothings. Ive sworn the place off. Who needs this type of nonsense??? If a transit cop was on that train, he too wouldve done nothing. That city is lost and run by degenerates. Only if people wake up, and start opposing this sort of shit, as el gato says can it be saved. If they dont the chaos will just continue to swell.
EXACTLY
If 2 women would have stood with her, then 5 men would have come along as well. Women don’t get a pass. It takes all of us.
Maybe. And I think that would be a attractive trait.
I still hope men would stand.
Where are the MEN to stand up to this violence? What has happened to them to make them cower? That woman’s boyfriend stood there with his head hanging down, afraid to look at the criminal who battered her.
Agree but the fear of a suddenly appearing blade in your face by a lot of these hopped-up crazies does a lot to favor inactivity.
There are those who advocate for concealed carry for just this reason.
We are not alone, and I know that. I do know that even the cat disguises his human form online; we all recognize that there is a price to flipping over the tables on the bullshit.
I use my real name, and my real face, because I never want to have to dig out from under pretense again. But I completely understand when that’s not possible.
Amen. Flipping over the tables is mostly just speaking out
Build our own tribes in the wilderness while preparing to fight to maintain them.
We need to build AND fight.
We need to break apart AND come together.
A big shift for me during Covid was that I realized my little blue liberal world was not safe for me, and was only nominally tolerant of me because there hadn’t been a reason to turn against me and others like me. That’s when I realized I had to throw all my energy into finding my people, locally and on line, under my own real name, loud and proud. I now have dozens of direct friends and acquaintances, and many dozens more in a larger circle, with whom I feel I can be myself. We don’t all agree, but the Overton window is the one I want to live with.
My next moves will be physical; I’m building the foundation now. My children are 17 and 13, and though they don’t go to school, they have jobs and lives here that I am not willing to wrench them from. But I have shifted my business to fully remote so that 100% of my new clients expect that environment, and most of my old clients at least tolerate it, with the goal of being able to seamlessly relocate as soon as my younger child is launched.
Not all conservatives know what's happening either.
In many respects our counter culture is as conformist and normalcy biased as the blue. I tried explaining what's going on to my conservative, church going, gun toting family and get blank stares. They didn't support mandates but were perturbed at my refusal to get the mRNA injection. "In the old days you'd have turned down Salk's vaccine, gotten polio and wound up in an iron lung." They brag about being boosted and laugh at my "conspiracy theories."
A lot of these conservative normies are boomers. And they love Trump. After all he has urged us to get our Trump shots. The Father of the Vaccines lost my vote.
Well, I don’t see myself as a conservative, either. With all the usual qualifiers*, I’m most closely a libertarian, and always have been. So that has generally meant leaning away from whatever was in power, whether it was the religious right, the loony left, the neocons, the totalitarian left; I guess that about covers it for a gen Xer. Takes us from Carter to now.
As a kid it was painful, but I came to see how powerful it was because I have *never* had the luxury and hindrance of an echo chamber. Nope, for me, it’s always been merciless take-downs from all sides, which has kept me intellectually honest, and has also made me tough because I had to learn how to know what I believed in order not to be gaslit into insanity. I was well-prepared for Covoodoo, and I was STILL blindsided by it.
do it now! We are sorry that we waited so long and actually so are our children!
We have a pretty good community here. My kids have good friends and good lives and we are making the necessary steps to make the move. For the time being, my husband's work is 100% tethered to this physical location, but my business is growing rapidly and that will give us a lot more flexibility.
Come to Florida, Sarah! We would welcome you here.
Believe me, it’s on the list of potentials!

Many years ago, when I was a 5' 8", 135lb badass, I was sitting in my car in DC, waiting for paychecks to be ready. I was beside a bus stop. All of a sudden, I heard a gurgling noise of someone being strangled. I turned and there was a black guy, estimated 6 feet, 180lbs with his hands around a black woman's throat, strangling her. He was focused on her, and his side was unprotected, so, since she would clearly be dead in a couple of minutes, I jumped out of my car and gave him a running shoulder under the ribs. It knocked him off her and into some bushes, giving me enough time to jump back in my car. As I started to pull away with him running after me, screaming in rage, I noticed a cop car doing a u turn...divine intervention? No se, but in the rearview mirror, I saw them grab the guy...The point here is that I grew up believing you did NOT stand by and allow that sort of thing to happen. PERIOD. I got lucky, but I had been willing to take the risk and the consequences rather than let him brutalize and perhaps kill the woman. This was at the time the murder of Kitty Genovese was still remembered, and the cowardice of the witnesses had appalled me. Times have clearly changed, but I haven't, and I think there are a lot of people around like me, and like the guy in NYC being lynched by the DA and the media. Right and wrong are, no matter how the try to gaslight us, still right and wrong. We are living in a country ruled by a government that has modeled itself on 1984, but a lot of us refuse to become Winston...
Great comment. In today’s world, the police would have chased you down.
I once got thumped by a Black Crackhead who was physically abusing someone's perfectly nice pup tied up outside a local grocery. I got between him and the dog, and received a shot to the head, no onlookers stood up for me, but I managed to get into a store and escape.
Distracted from the dog, he went on his merry dangerous way screaming and yelling at people. This was in 1985.
At least I saved someone's dog.
You sir are a hero, thank you!!
Thanks. I just did what I think many people who love animals would do in such a situation.
😂 That reminds me of a time I was riding my bicycle between parked cars and moving traffic in Berkeley. I was singing a blissful chant I had just heard in a concert of The Sufi Choir to myself, trying to remember the words. Suddenly, while looking down at my left leg I saw a car fender overtaking me from behind six inches from my leg. I veered away in terror but I only had a tiny lane to evade in because of the parked cars to my right. I watched in horror, looking down at my leg, while the fender of the car, IN RESPONSE, moved EVEN CLOSER to my leg, nearly rubbing against it now! A second later, a passenger in the car swatted me on the ass and the car sped away. My shock turned to anger and I started pumping furiously. They were about 200 yards up a gentle incline, and they did not expect me to catch up to them. However, they had had to stop for a red light, and I thought I just might be able to catch them. When I pulled up beside their open passenger window, the two Black Citizens were still having a good laugh about their surprise attack. They stupidly assumed that I was too far away to catch them, so when the passenger saw me standing astride my bike right next to his open window, he was startled and ducked down in fear, anticipating a punch. The light had turned green and their car was just about to move. I was still trying to decide what to do, I was angry, shocked, and disgusted. I leaned into the window, and he turned his face back towards me quizzically to take a peek. At that moment, I was inspired with what I wanted to say and I spit fully into his face. He was stunned. Slowly, thoughts formed as he realized what was happening. I had registered my contempt perfectly! Traffic was starting to move and it was time for them to drive. They started howling with rage as they realized what my communication was. I had a bike chain around my seat and I considered slamming the door on his leg as he tried to get out and following up with the chain, but I decided discretion was the better form of valor so I turned my bike around and started pumping. I had been in a ground-covering gear so it was hard to pump at first and I could hear at least one of them running and cursing close behind me as I slowly gained speed and finally pulled away. It was a very exciting and satisfying incident!
Bravo Gato. Inspiring post to push back against normalization of demoralization. Sadly many have chosen a third option: virtue signal about embracing the mess. The “elite” urbanites will never admit to you or themselves how miserable things have gotten, so they double down in showing off how stunning and brave they are to tolerate societal collapse. Ridicule and shame are the best tools we have - Here is a fiction story about a week in their clown shoes: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-write-a-sex-diary
There are vast swathes of the country where this stuff doesn't - couldn't - happen. And tbh, in the cities where it is happening, they've voted it in. Most of the people - the "decent" people who have normal values - have left.
The culture war, of which this is such a huge part, is going to force some sort of standoff or breakage to happen. People in majority red county states like mine - and there are many counties in the US that are red, if you look at the US voting results map by county - don't put up with this stuff. I never see it here. (Although in the blue city where we have a house and where I unfortunately have to go several days a month, there's more of it. But still not like the big zombie-zone cities.)
And that's really what is going to break, I think. Where the rift is going to come. The hundreds of millions of good people who would and do stand up to this but don't get on the news for being good and decent, who are ignored and denigrated and yet somehow manage to go on living good lives (sarcasm there) are going to revolt at some point. I live in a Southern, rural, agricultural, coastal county of pick up trucks, hunting, boats, commercial fishermen, and a church every mile that was 78% red in the last election. Our Sheriff is based. I think this is a "come and take it" community.
I agree but those of us who live in such areas need to be vigilant to protect them. There’s an influx of “refugees” from blue states that need to understand that their politics need to be left wherever they are fleeing from. If you vote in Texas like you did in San Francisco you’re just going to turn Texas into San Francisco.
The biggest city in my state (which is 100% red at the federal level and nearly that at the state level) held a drag queen story hour last year at the zoo. It garnered a lot of protest and controversy, a great many families including ours cancelled their memberships to the zoo in protest. However because they had 700 people attend the zoo declared it a success. Never mind that a large number of the 700 came from different parts of the state and even different states, have never supported or even been to the zoo before and won’t support it in the future. The city has >100,000 people in it. So their event got at best 0.7% acceptance from the community at large and they called it a success. I have no idea how many donors or memberships they lost, but I suspect it was more than 700. Maybe they lost enough memberships that they will just quietly decline to host any further events and hope that eventually families will forgive them and go back to supporting the zoo. But if it can successfully happen there it can happen pretty much anywhere.
"If you vote in Texas like you did in San Francisco you’re just going to turn Texas into San Francisco"
Texas will fall to Blue for this reason, it is inevitable, and will guarantee that no Republican is ever elected POTUS again
I love TX, I lived there for a while and don't have a bad word to say about the place or its citizens, however the "new arrivals" are a different matter and not in a good way
I still live in Texas and while there is an influx of people from failed states settling here there are also many fleeing those same states for “safety” and who understand how their states became the hellhole it is today. If that was the only way Texas would turn Blue, we’d hold the line. One of our issues is the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants being escorted across our borders every week. They will eventually be given amnesty by the Biden Regime, and told the only way they can keep their benefits is to vote to defeat the white supremacist Republicans. Just one more Soros, Deep State, Democrat plan to ruin this state and this nation!
The cities will fall long before the red counties even feel a blip.
I wish we could cut all of the freaks off who support this insanity. Let them burn in those filthy Hell-holes they consider vastly superior to Norman Rockwell's America. (Unrealistic as that world was it was idealistic rather than ugly and brutal. The world the Soycialists yearn for.)
Just walked along the seafront on our town Exmouth Devon. Did not se one transgender person, did not see any men dressed as women, did not see anything out of the normal over the last 26 years. Saw loads of fog walkers,families visiting the seaside and beach for the day, dozens of yachts going out for he day, swimmers, loads of people ladling surfboards, rowers in skiffs? Later today, the ice cream stands will be packed with customers and later on the day the fish and chip sellers will do a roaring trade. Life very normal” here.
Same where I live, but we have a couple of cities in our state that are getting there. My son just moved into a brand new apt complex in the downtown of our capital city which has a big parking garage and security. A couple of weeks ago, 19 cars were broken into including his. The thieves were apparently looking for weapons, as all the glove compartments and consoles were open but they left designer bags and laptops alone. Like they were out shopping... The mayor of this city allowed the BLM riots to go on, causing millions in damages to downtown businesses, demoralizing and driving off policemen and women. The good ones, anyway. The rest of our state is very red and this stuff is scarce as hen's teeth.
It can’t happen here. Famous last words.
It did happen here. Three crappy years of a plandemic. We still have our criminals, but after what the governments did to us, the criminals are looking like saints. People just want to get on with their lives. And it looks like they are doing just that.
The first thought all victims have is “I never thought it would happen to me!”
It CAN happen here and it CAN happen to you.
Brilliant! Your writing should be required reading for every high school and college student in America. Thank you for your work.
Thank you for this thought-provoking and unapologetic essay. I especially like your term "urban horror camping."
Thank you again. I’m not a religious person, but damn if this doesn’t feel like the end times! No one step in to protect her, unbelievable, men all around - shameful!
Or back to the 70s.
You're the second person in three days to say this in my "hearing"
“then he hits her.”
And her soyboyfriend did nothing. Many layers in that one.
Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall in their conversation afterwards?
I wouldn’t be surprised if it were a very short, and final, one-way conversation.
Even if I got badly beaten, that would be far, far better than the humiliation of not stepping up to protect any woman, much less “my woman”. Black eyes and cuts get better. The wound to the soul would never heal.
Poor bustard probably wishes he could get a do-over.
Getting beaten is one thing.
Spending a decade in jail for standing up is another.
Risk/Reward..............Risk/Reward..........
I get it. But honor was something men used to die for.
Not all of 'em.
There’s a guy in that video - a pretty “built” looking guy - standing right between that menace and the woman, and he doesn’t (at least as far as the video shows) do a damned thing to intervene. That to me was more shocking than the thug’s behavior. Was he too scared? Probably. But what if he’d mustered up the courage - or prayed for it right then - and simply stood between the thug and the woman? Who knows what would have happened next, but it would’ve been a noble and even heroic act. Maybe other men on the train would’ve stepped up also. I don’t know but the image of him just standing there watching a small woman get smacked by a much larger threatening male was more shameful than the thug himself.
I think that’s the moral of that whole story. Each of us, individually, are going to find ourselves at moments where we will be given a choice to act and what we do in that moment can determine the future of this country and how we want it to be. It may be Scary and full of risk, but you’ve got to follow your conscience. You just might be the very spark that ignites the movement that will reverse the madness going on around us.

Cats have bigger balls than people.

LOLOLOL
God, family, morals and ethics were the foundation and what is now sadly missing from western civilization.
If you don’t fear or even care what happens to your soul, what does it matter how you behave in this lifetime?
If one thing has become plainly obvious over these last few years, it is that the majority have prioritized accumulating money and materials over raising children and building virtue and character.
One obvious example - Studies warned us 20 years ago that social media was bad for mental health, yet here we are, almost every child has a smart phone or tablet in their hand. Parents have given the worst of the worst of humanity direct access to their children with no guidance or supervision. Literally serving our kids up to satan worshippers and cults. Absolutely shameful! Where are your frickin’ priorities?
Another example - what kind of parenting involves volunteering a child for an unnecessary medical experiment?? I don’t care if someone in a white coat told you it was “safe and effective”!! You are the parent! Your only job is to protect your child until they have the maturity and skills to protect themselves.
If a child grows up in a world where there own parents serve them up to whoever and whatever, why on earth would they stand up for anything or anyone?
1,000%
"Another example - what kind of parenting involves volunteering a child for an unnecessary medical experiment?? I don’t care if someone in a white coat told you it was “safe and effective”!! You are the parent! Your only job is to protect your child until they have the maturity and skills to protect themselves."
I've never understood why a parent would volunteer their child for a drug trial. The trial is being done, ostensibly, because it's not known if the drug is dangerous or not.
I can only conclude that virtual signalling is more important to the parents than their kid's life.
I think there's also just naiveté. (And I'll allow, you could make the argument that virtue signalling is itself a form of naiveté.) From what I've read of the Maddie de Garay case, in which Maddie was severely injured in the Pfizer clinical trial held at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, her mother assumed it would be fine, because vaccines = good, and her kids wanted, really wanted to participate, and because "science." (That's not a direct quote but my summary of what I understood her to have said about it.) Now that Maddie is left in a wheelchair and with a feeding tube, I have no doubt that her mother regrets having allowed her to participate, regrets it painfully, every single day-- and more likely than not she knows perfectly well what most people would think of her for having allowed it. But here's the thing: Stephanie de Garay has had the guts to step up and go out in public and talk about it, as she did at Senator Ron Johnson's sessions, and also in various rallies for the injured. She knows that it was a horrible mistake, she sees the gaslighting and Pfizer's fraud (in having grossly misrepresented Maddie's injuries), and she is trying to help her daughter get the care she needs, and also to save other people. For her efforts, which have been tremendous, I sincerely salute her.
But whoa! They sure care what happens to their bodies!
I have tried to figure out why I wasn't afraid of Covid. Ever. I honestly think it was 2 things: I have experience in alternative medicine and I believe in heaven. Not really afraid of death.
Covid wasn't scary. 99.97% survival rate for under 70s, or something similarly tiny.
That's not what we were told initially.
I think I had simply been round long enough to.mistrust what I was being told
No, but it became obvious pretty early on that it wasn't a problem for the vast majority of people.
I have autoimmune problems. But even according to the CDC (unreliable I know) I only had a 0.5% chance of dying from Covid. High risk with 199 out of 200 chance of survival. I'd try to point this out to a Covidian and they'd say, "But do you really want to take such a risk?" I'd try pointing out risk is unavoidable. Funny how eager they were to risk a highly experimental, untested, gene modifying shot. Hopeless idiots. I gave up reasoning with them long ago. Not stupid so much as mentally lazy, image obsessed and shallow.
"... majority have prioritized accumulating money and materials over raising children and building virtue and character."
I feel proud to be in the minority, having raised a daughter and son (15 years apart), both of whom I am immensely proud. We didn't all shirk our responsibilities and some of us can justly call our children our greatest successes!
I’ve read most of these comments and for me, here’s the bottom line:
If this amount of brutish, criminal, behavior exists now, what happens if the food supply dries up or the lights go out? What happens when there are fewer and fewer consequences for this type of behavior?
Teach your children how to defend themselves.
Teach yourself how to defend yourself.
Second Amendment.
Situational awareness at all times.
STAND UP - HOLD THE LINE.
Your life, our lives, and civilization depends on it.
You Americans are so lucky you have the second amendment. There can be no peace through weakness. Keep your firearms the governments coming for you. I’m Canadian government has come for us.
The government is the enemy . Your neighbour is the enemy because they are fully propagandized. You’re human resources department is the enemy. Your child has been brainwashed. The schools are turning out idiots.
The left wing has turned into a totalitarian cult.
Not all neighbors or family members. Thanks to the "pandemic" we know who can and cannot be trusted.
That’s an interesting point, the pandemic erode of trust and and in her that way is have you been somewhat beneficial.
"They do this by normalizing the abnormal."
And why is this? So broken war-torn unscrubbed cats beg for totalitarianism. 🙀
The Great Reset will be global fascism.
True, as every new manufactured crisis brings the entire planet one step closer to that outcome.
What so many forget or can't see is the idiots in charge are just place holders. They are unafraid of public rage because they plan on flying off to private islands with handsome pensions (from Papa Klaus) at the end of this.
Place holders or managers for Global Empire and were assured by the ghouls they'd never be held accountable, however, nothing is really guranteed. 😁
Mr. Global doesn't like to share.
Megalomanics never part with money and power and refuse to make even the tiniest concessions as they feel it demonstrates weakness. After all, gangsters are supposed to be tough. 😁
Interestingly, the technique is a little more insidious.
It's not that they've "normalized the abnormal", it's that they have conflated "normal" and "natural".
Transvestites occur naturally, however such people are not normal under any useful definition of the word.
Normalizing every naturally occurring phenomenon is a certain path to bad outcomes, as discernment becomes impossible and is flagged as an "ism" with the attendant abuse forthcoming. When there is in fact no "normal" everything is a free for all - which is what the deconstructionists really want, a society free of all "norms" ... anarchy
View it as one big psyop with numerous nuanced operations.
