Same old game
Activists are still throwing fake outrage about new “laws” and “treaties”. This week they’re motivating us to fight the WHO “treaty” which will supposedly enable what happened in 2020. 2020 SHOWED FINALLY AND DEFINITIVELY THAT NO LAW CAN STOP OR ENABLE MONSTERS. If 2020 didn’t teach you, you’re either incurably stupid or playing a game…

The answer
Ryan Grim seems like a plain vanilla commentator, sort of vaguely Libertarian but not unusually incisive. In this clip he shows a UNIQUE GRASP OF REALITY. No other public speaker has ever caught this basic fact of life. He’s talking about an international survey asking people if they feel their country has democracy. In US…

From impressed to unimpressed
After being impressed by the learning abilities of the prosecution and judge in the Craig Wright case, I made the mistake of reading some “independent” “journalists”. Highly unimpressed as always. I keep stupidly hoping that one of them will eventually show a grasp of reality and history, and they continue to disappoint. They constantly throw…

Nothing new.
Something randomly reminded me of the remarkable Tyler family history. President Tyler’s grandson Harrison Ruffin Tyler died earlier this year. Grandpa married a trophy wife and had a son when he was 75, then the son did the same thing and had Harrison when he was 63. From a 2012 interview with Harrison: = =…

Totally understandable
Just noticed a skeptic asking if “any non-governmental entity has actually photographed the alleged sunspots.” In today’s utterly crazy tyranny, total skepticism is totally understandable. When rulers are torturing and strangling and imprisoning us and bombing countries down to bedrock, all justified by blazingly fake “science” and fake “threats”, total disbelief is a natural and…

Let a hundred basis points bloom
Not a good analogy, but maybe the comparison will help me to think about one of the parallels. = = = = = The solid side of the parallel: ZIRP was an extreme outlier, totally unprecedented when Bugsy Bernanke ordered it in 2008. Previously the expected interest had pulled down to 2% at some points…

Clear after defining
Wondered why 100% of “news” about politics is pointless arguing. A roasts B, C debates with D, E kicks F out of speakership. Within “dissident” circles it’s the same. Pointless arguing about who’s more ideologically pure or who’s taking more money from Deepstate. For powerless people, the only effective political action is Desistance, finding ways…

’51 memes
Some jokes from a 1951 magazine, probably distributed nationally as Features, the earlier version of today’s Memes. We don’t see Memes in mainstream publications now. “Journalism” has rigorously insulated itself from ALL feedback and connection to popular wisdom. The postwar inflation and shortage was still around in 1951, just starting to fade out. Our postwar…

Worth watching
Vivek’s latest interview is worth watching. He’s talking with Darren Beattie, an academic in political science who was Trump’s speechwriter for a while. Beattie, like Vivek, is a HARDASS realist. Beattie sees things from a high-level perspective that feels ‘over my head’ at times, but I always listen when a speaker demonstrates total Machiavellian realism…

Don’t help them
Activists always have a tendency to overshoot. When rulers manipulate activists, they push hard to force the overshoot. This is well known in political and cultural and religious activism. Life always applies NEGATIVE FEEDBACK to minimize overshoots. Monsters always apply POSITIVE FEEDBACK to maximize overshoots until the system is damaged. Damaging the system is the…

Algorithm note
In the last couple weeks I’ve been spending less time reading Substack, where I’m a pure product, and more time in WordPress, where I’m both customer and producer. At first the advantage wasn’t clear, but after more exploration I’m finding more satisfaction. Substack has gone purely algorithmic. It forcefeeds you standard orthodoxy. The more you…

Jeffrey gets Booker T
Jeffery Tucker of Brownstone is a complicated figure. He has some Libertarian genes that occasionally pop out, possibly without full intentions. His deep anger at the SHIT we endured drives him to PROTEST! Be like MLK! Be like Assange! Get imprisoned and assassinated so you can’t influence anyone at all! He’s moving quickly toward the…

Understands 2
Writers at Compact Mag often UNDERSTAND reality, which is extremely rare online. Ryan Zickgraf is writing about a new movie that runs the usual D idiocy about R “insurrections”. = = = = = START REALITY: But while there are certainly cracks in the American project, there is little evidence that we are on the…

More farts
Idiot Repooflicans are making some especially stinky farts this week, knowing as always that zero action will ever result from the farts. = = = = = Fart 1: An NPR employee “revealed” common knowledge, as Deepstate always does. Deepstate never reveals genuine information. He “revealed” that NPR is all Democrat all the time. His…

Donating
Continuing the theme of Trump as LBO artist and gangster. Every company or country he touches goes bankrupt so he can grab the assets. Even if he DOESN’T grab the assets the company or country goes bankrupt. The Ankler included these numbers in one of their articles about developments in the media business: = =…
