Nothing interesting in politics lately.

I has a sadz. As a politics news junkie, I've been going through serious withdrawal lately, as basically nothing has actually been happening. (A fake impeachment doesn't count.) But I will try and soldier through, taking this opportunity to reflect and see how we got here. Making the best of makework!

So if we look back at the Russia collusion investigation, the Deep State picked Robert Mueller, who was both dogged and dumb/incompetent. We can take from this that they expected his Speshul Counthel investigation to simply go on indefinitely, either to a trial or the 2020 election.

But it didn't. The timing of the ending implies -- and I don't know, it's just an intuition -- that when William Barr came in as AG, he basically told them: either wrap it up, or get investigated yourselves for obstruction of justice. And Mueller's team had carelessly left a shit-ton of evidence of their wrongdoing, so they were terrified of being investigated, and they wrapped it up.

So then Adam Schiff's lawless shampeachment comes out at just the right time to try and maintain the fake smell of scandal. But he's just another midwit druggie liar with delusions both paranoid and grandiose, same as every other D.C. hustler doing some form of speed or coke. I mean, if you just look at his eyes, there is clearly something that he is either taking too much or not enough of.

So is Schiff an unmedicated schizo or a druggie riding the dragon? I neither know nor care. Either way, he's disqualified as a moral authority, and his own side should be cringing at just how bad he's going to make them look.

Civil Disobedience: The How of Making Ourselves Ungovernable (3/3)

Our Fake Elites: The Why of Making Ourselves Ungovernable (1/3)

The Last Straw: The When of Making Ourselves Ungovernable (2/3)

There is a peculiar fantasy on the authoritarian left – such as the antifa, black bloc, and BAMN – that they are some kind of rebels. When really they are the street enforcers of the political orthodoxy, like Mussolini’s blackshirts.

So our civil disobedience will be much more difficult than theirs, because we won’t get a pass from amenable authorities. But each personal sacrifice will be another scalp taken in the moral level of war. We win not by overpowering, but by provoking overreaction, and demonstrating the moral illegitimacy of TPTB.

And that is a very hard pill to swallow. But we are not in the same position as our ancestors, who had a clear bill of complaints to make against the Crown. Our own hostile rulers are more clever and try to boil the frog slowly. So until we have our Lexington & Concord where they try to take away our arms, to take up arms would be to lose.

So the clearest and most peaceful way for us to win is by sheer volume. If every man willing to shoot and kill for his country were also willing to simply go to jail for his country, then there would be no jail beds left. Companies would have to relax their standards to remain well-staffed. Mass action would have mass effect.

So I'm talking about civil disobedience with the expectation of actual jail time for mere disobedience, unlike the blackshirts, who can get away with actual hospitalizing violence. Understand that the contrast in consequences is part of what will delegitimize TPTB and lead to their downfall; a serious and effective war with no shots fired on our side.

Socialism is all about sex, death, and power.

I honestly believe that our elites want to make the rest of us more vulnerable to crime in order to make themselves more special. And by then crystallizing the social structure, their mediocre offspring will have a reproductive advantage in perpetuity. So contra Scott Adams, it is quite rational for our ruling class and clerisy to want socialism.

Look at how they attempt to create dynasties carrying on their name, mostly failing. It is currently the closest that a man can get to immortality; but the brutal logic of statistical regression to the mean will consistently devastate a dynasty in just a generation or three.

So how can they give their descendants a permanent advantage? Only by permanently ending even a quantum of a fraction of a ghost of a sham of a meritocracy, making America like China, where the way to get rich is to be the worthless offspring of a well-connected insider.

Socialism is a scam. It’s a shell game, a three-card monte, a cheap street-corner con. It works great on illiterate peasants; and I hope and pray that my fellow unhyphenated Americans will see right through it, since the whole point is to subjugate us all forever.

Race is a hoax to distract from class and ethnicity.

There is no scientific consensus on whether race even exists. There is also no great debate, because the entire topic is politically incorrect. So there is just a back-alley argument between sociologists (no, we can’t tell race by looking at their skin) and anthropologists (yes, we can tell race by looking at their bones).

So clearly, the current moral panic about “white supremacy” is of suspicious intellectual provenance, because they cannot even prove that “white” exists. And I argue that it is blatantly a hoax, because it is being used to distract from real tangible groups with concrete interests.

First, Angelo Codevilla has done great work articulating the existence of a Ruling Class and its Clerisy (essentially the 0.1% and 9.9%, respectively). Building off of that, Glenn Reynolds has extensively documented how they have exercised their socio-economic power to enforce their divergent interests over the People.

Furthermore, studies have shown that the college-educated in general (and Ivy League in particular) are marrying only each other. And since these institutions are well-populated by the global elite, there is a new mix of family lines exclusive of the global governed.

Ethnicity is by definition culture, language, and DNA. And we already know that our global elites have a distinct culture, thanks to the Verge’s seminal article, Welcome to AirSpace. So attending the same colleges, learning in the same language, marrying only each other – they are by definition at an advanced stage of becoming an ethnicity.

Call them AirSpacers, because it’s a stupid name and they’re stupid people, so they deserve it. And if in their ethnoneogenesis they avoid giving themselves a name, to avoid drawing attention to their class/ethnic supremacy, then we are fully empowered to give them whatever stupid name we want. Fuck their delicate sensibilities and entirely unwarranted pride.

Country Men; or, What Comes After Proud Boys

I was taking a hill walk this afternoon, as is my wont, when I had a glimpse of the future. Not an actual prophetic vision, mind you; more of an intuition. But it’s worth sharing, since a lot of people don’t have the right experience to see where this is going.

I was pondering the power vacuum in places like Portland, where the police are standing down in the face of revolutionary communist street thugs, and civic-minded groups like the Proud Boys are being harassed (both legally and illegally) out of existence.

What’s interesting about it is that in this case, nobody from inside the city can step up to preserve social order, because they’ll just get doxxed, threatened, and harassed at work and at home. So that means that the vacuum will be filled by outsiders.

Now, what you might not know is that out in the country, good ol’ boys still grow up fighting, and “faggot” and “queer” are still fighting words. And damn near every Portland male looks like a queer to them, except for the ones that they would mistake for tomboys.

So as the eternal presidential campaign grinds slowly on, and the “protests” gradually escalate into full-blown city-burning riots, I can practically guarantee that there will be some hard young men within a 45-minute drive that would like to get in on that action.

But the funny thing is that their idea of fun would likely result in restoring social order the old-fashioned way, by knocking heads together. Once they realize that the antifa, black bloc, &c. are not only queers but also commies, I think they will find it irresistible.

They won’t have an organization for SJWs to infiltrate; if nobody there knows you and can vouch for you, then you’re a narc and they ain’t telling you shit. And if they even bother to use any name at all, then I would expect them to employ the flair and panache for which they are world-famous, and call themselves something fancy and sesquipedalian like the Country Men.

I wanted to share this with you, because for once, I saw something that I hope actually comes true. It would be funny as hell, and I hope you enjoyed the view.

No Anarchists, Only Communists

I was shocked to read Robert Vincent’s recent article in American Thinker, “The Left's Endgame Is Not Chaos. It's Worse,” which was recommended by Instapundit, The Other McCain, and Ace of Spades. I had vaguely suspected that there were people who didn’t know that, but I was unprepared for the grim reality of such basic ignorance. So I will explain in even blunter terms.

There are no principled anarchists in Oregon, and I assume that the same is true of all of the other States in the Union. There are quite a few schizophrenics and brain-fried druggies, but aside from people who are mentally disordered, all of the anarchists are fake. They are all just a bunch of godless commies.

In fact, it hardly matters the name of the group; antifa, black bloc, by any means necessary, &c., they are all just thugs for revolutionary international socialism.

Their multiple brands essentially combine the experimental dynamism of venture capitalism with the operational discretion of independent terrorist cells. But they are all the same in one very important respect:

They only want to disrupt the current social order in order to replace it with the socialist tyranny of their dreams – sick dreams in which they’re insiders with power to abuse, instead of social rejects.

And make no mistake: every complaint that they have is projection. When they talk about the (fictitious) jackboots on their necks, they’re picturing their (physical) jackboots on yours. And you don't want to know what happens next.

They are evil. You should never, ever let one babysit for you. They hate themselves, their parents, their species, and their Creator; so if they have any interest in your kids at all, it is an unhealthy one. I’m dead fucking serious.

And you should take them seriously, because unlike neo-Nazi LARPers, theirs is a living movement that controls multiple countries to this very day. China alone is what, about a fifth of humanity?

They are worthless garbage people individually; but they are borrowing power from a global movement, and they want to exercise that power over you (and your kids). And we must do literally whatever it takes to prevent that.

Diversity Is Tyranny

Freedom is self-rule. But anarchy is not freedom, because then you would be ruled by everyone else’s whims, only controlling a very small space around your body (if that).

The true opposite of tyranny is subsidiarity, like how the true opposite of love is indifference (while hatred is passion twisted). In subsidiarity, each decision is made at the smallest unit that is directly affected by it; so other families don’t have a vote on your family’s decisions that only affect them indirectly. They don’t have a vote in how you discipline your kids, or what jobs you take.

Likewise your city’s decisions are not the county’s business, and your county doesn’t need the state micromanaging its internal matters. If your state doesn’t touch the Colorado River then you don’t get a say in the Interstate Compact, and so on.

This is because in order to have self-rule, you must live in a society whose values accord with yours. And the further someone is from you geographically, the further they will be in their material interests, as well as their cultural heritage and family line.

Self-rule requires homogeneity. So then it can be seen that diversity damages the self-rule of the people who were already there, who did not choose to leave their kind and go live among another. And it is blatantly unjust, because the immigrants still have somewhere else in the world that is ordered according to their values, while the locals end up with zero.

Therefore, diversity is tyranny. It is a Satanic evil, and it is on us as Christians to stop the Social Justice cult in its wicked plan to destroy all self-rule everywhere, starting with Western Civ.

We unhyphenated Americans have an additional handicap to overcome, because many affect to believe that we don’t even exist, or have no right to. But let that resistance firm your will; it means that our survival as a people is at stake, and we must fight harder.

Contrary Indicators: The Peculiar Orthodoxy of Fake News

We live in strange times. Advocacy journalism has rendered an entire category of media nigh worthless, since we wallow in a sea of Fake News written by activist True Believers with bylines.

But there is a useful concept from the hyper-competitive world of stock market daytraders, which is that of the contrary indicator: something whose price reliably moves in the opposite direction of what you trade in, so it can be predictive in the inverse.

And then of course you get the notion of people or institutions as contrary indicators: they reliably do exactly the wrong thing, so if you learn that they’re making a move, then you should do the opposite.

So that takes us to the whole pro-vax and anti-vax thing, which is a rabbit hole that I have carefully steered clear of. But since the anti-vax position seemed to be the province of vapid New Age SWPL types, I was prejudiced against it.

That all changed last month, when Twitter went all-in on the pro-vax side. They are such a hyper-partisan, SJW-controlled organization that if a guy with a penis and a Y-chromosome says he’s a woman, they think you shouldn’t even be allowed to question it.

And since they make a habit of inverting the truth, if they want to hide anti-vax content, then that tells me that the vaccine industry apparently has something to hide -- and it’s probably somehow anti-American and anti-Christian.

So congratulations, Twitter! You finally managed to do what no one else could do: make me question the utility and safety of vaccines. It’s almost something to be proud of, since it means that I think you’re reliable.

Reliably wrong.

A contrary indicator.

The Last Straw: The When of Making Ourselves Ungovernable (2/3)

In Our Fake Elites, I explored the question of why make ourselves ungovernable. To summarize, if space aliens abducted our ruling class tomorrow, the rest of us would be better off. So we have nothing to lose and everything to gain by upsetting their applecarts.

That then raises (not begs) the question of when. There are some clear bright lines, such as mass gun confiscation, since that is a standard precursor to tyranny. But if things reach that point, then the proper response might very well be armed resistance; so the right time for non-violent resistance would necessarily be before that.

On the other hand, there are also potential drawbacks to going too soon. The most obvious is that it must be a mass movement to be effective, so those who go first must be able to maintain in the face of legal trouble. And there’s no point in taking that risk if there’s no chance of starting the avalanche.

I propose that the way to square that circle is to immediately start talking about mass civil disobedience, but not doing it yet. Start planting the seeds, that this is a thing that we may need to do, as well as talking about how (looking at historical examples).

So when? The final trigger must be common sense, as how the time to start an armed rebellion must necessarily be no later than when your arms would be taken away.

And for a non-violent resistance, the equivalent would be the means of organizing. So using the currently available tools for organizing, spread the word of why and how to make ourselves ungovernable. And then when those communication tools are taken away, that is the signal.

That is the last straw, after which everyone scatters to the wind and does his own thing.

Our Fake Elites: The Why of Making Ourselves Ungovernable (1/3)

There is no meritocracy. Everything that you have heard is a lie. The only things that our ruling class is actually good at are being well-spoken, well-dressed, well-connected, and well-credentialed. Habitually punctual, except when not. Usually not too many drugs.

But you cannot break in from below. It is all about class. If you do not have acceptable table manners, then literally nothing else matters.

And they can teach those table manners to drooling morons from the other side of the world, if they think it would signal their virtue as anti-Western anti-Christians.

So we are ruled by arrogant, contemptuous snobs who are also historically ignorant, poorly educated, intellectually lazy, morally degenerate, grossly unethical, narcissistic, nepotistic, lying, cheating, thieving, evil little midwits who think they’re better than you.

No, really. They act as if they’re so much better than you that not only could they run your life better than you can, but they shouldn’t even ask you. They should just do it.

It makes me bitter. They act like if you weren’t such a retard, then you would be thankful to them for enslaving you to their kritarchy of black-robed tyrants and their technocracy of fake experts, who are really just a bunch of pseudo-scientific snake-oil salesmen with tall height and good hair.

So you’re going to get what they want for you, good and hard. And you’d better be thankful, or else they have ways of making you sorry.

Except there's just one little problem with their vision of the world: it's inverted. They need us. Not the other way around.

So their entire worldview is built on a foundation of lies, and it would be trivial for us to exploit such a glaring weakness.

Trivial for us to show our true power...

By making ourselves ungovernable.

A Handbook for Non-Sociopaths

On the subject of a Civil War II or Re-Revolution, it occurs to me that I should lay down some ground rules if you want to be on our side, in the case that non-violent resistance does not work.

One very simple moral principle is that children before the age of reason are intrinsically innocent. So that means at the very least none younger than high-school age, and therefore no shooting up any place where pre-teens may reasonably be expected.

Another logical consequence is that bombs are inherently immoral, because you do not know who may be hit by them. I suppose the moral calculus is more complicated for actual bombardiers in a theater of war, but that is not what we’re talking about. So don’t.

And if I have to explain to you why torture is unacceptable, then you should just go and be a leftist. I’m sure that they’ll welcome you with open arms. But here we follow Jesus.

After that, things get fuzzier. But only necessary wars are just. If you coulda maintained your autonomy elsewise, then you shoulda done that instead.

So if non-violent resistance can recover self-rule, then none of the rest even matters. But I figured that I should lay it all out explicitly just in case, since half of all people are even dumber than the median.

American Re-Revolution, Not Civil War II

Our country is spinning into ever-more intractably divided positions, as there is no real compromise between America and Not-America. Halfway between those is also Not-America. And whatever can’t go on forever won’t, but that begs the question of how it will end.

I have read many articles warning of an impending conflict, or even speculating about what a 2nd Civil War might look like. As noted by the author of the article referenced in the link, it is a truism that Diversity + Proximity = War, and also an historical fact that the U.S. has recently seen the greatest migration of peoples in the history of the world.

But what are we really talking about here? We have a ruling class that is unresponsive to the will of the American people. I find it unlikely that they could even maintain their power in the face of mass civil disobedience, since they have undermined the rule of written law, and no one actually likes or admires them. All of their authority is fake.

So take a step back and take another look at our situation. What kind of conflict is it, really? I think it’s much more like the American Revolution than our Civil War. This storm that we feel brewing is not CW II, but a Re-Revolution.

And that is a good thing! We have historical examples of how a morally illegitimate ruling class can be brought down through non-violent resistance.

War is Hell. For freedom-lovers like us, it would be better than submission; but if we can avoid both, then that would be the best by far. Not even close.

I will have more to say later about how, when, and why us unhyphenated Americans should make ourselves ungovernable. But for now I just wanted to fire off this quick note to encourage you about the future of our country.

Things will get better, and we may not even have to go through brother killing brother to get there. Woohoo!

It’s anuddah shoah.

So I watched a video of Charlie Kirk saying that "America is just a placeholder for timeless ideas" (h/t commenter Jeroth on Vox Popoli). And I was once again reminded of how weirdly common it is for U.S. Jews to deny that Americans even exist as an authentic ethnicity with blood ties to the land.

I have Plymouth Rock ancestors. My family fought in the Revolutionary War and both sides of the Civil War. They tamed the wild land of the near coast as colonists, and tamed the land east of the Mississippi as settlers. And then when that got too easy, they took to the Oregon Trail as pioneers and tamed the rest of this wild continent too.

America is a nation of pioneers. To say that we’re a "nation of immigrants" is a self-serving lie by Johnnies-come-lately, like women saying they’re “beautiful at any size.” It’s so absurd that I can only assume they’re mostly just trying to convince themselves.

So when these newcomers claim that unhyphenated Americans don’t even exist, I frankly take that as an aspirational statement. I take it as eliminationist rhetoric.

I take it as a threat against my people’s very existence.

It’s anuddah shoah.

Crazy/Stupid/Liars

Many things in this world are unknowable to us, and one of them is what’s really going on in other people’s heads. “For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)

But I think that with some logic, we can at least narrow down the possibilities. If a man holds up four fingers and tells you that there are five, then it is a fair bet that he is either delusional, dumb, or dishonest. Either he is hallucinating, or he can’t count, or he’s lying to your face.

So, what do we make of a tranny, with a penis and a Y-chromosome, who tells you that he’s a woman? Plainly, he’s either mad, moronic, or mendacious. (Or some combination thereof; sometimes we must embrace the healing power of “and”.)

But beyond that, I cannot say for sure. I’m not one of Miss Cleo’s psychic friends. So is he crazy, stupid, or a liar? The best answer is yes, yes he is.

And there are many crazy/stupid/liars in America today, and around the world – not just the trannies, but all social justice warriors. And since SJWs always project – even up to and including the projection strategy itself – things can quickly get very confusing, much like dealing with a gaslighting narcissist.

You need a way to keep things straight, to be sure that he’s the crazy/stupid/liar and not you. One very simple way is to always be very careful to never pretend to have magical psychic powers; no one does, not even you, and certainly not that dickwad trying to tell you what you’re really thinking.

So when someone else acts like he’s the arbiter of what you really mean by your own words, you might not know exactly what he’s thinking, but you can be sure that his mindreading pose is false. You can be sure that in one or more parts, he’s a crazy/stupid/liar.

And then you can stop taking him seriously as an honest interlocutor, because there isn’t any point. If you absolutely must talk to him, rational objectives could include exposing his delusional/dumb/dishonesty to onlookers, or just minimizing your exposure to harm from his mad/moronic/mendacity.

But you cannot “win” an argument with a crazy/stupid/liar, and there’s no point in trying.

Against Free Speech

I was inspired to write this by my disagreement with CBD's recent post on Ace of Spades, "Free Speech Is Free Speech Is Free Speech: We Don't Get To Choose!"

I have come to agree with SJWs (on the left) and Vox Day (on the right) that free speech is a bullshit Fake Principle that no one actually believes in. It is not even asking the right question to ask whether we should have free speech protections or hate speech laws; the proper opposition is Christian blasphemy laws vs. hate speech laws, which is to say, Christian blasphemy laws vs. Social Justice blasphemy laws.

Of course, acolytes of Social Justice will claim that “hate speech” is different, that their creed is really an obvious and inarguable Truth, and so it’s objectively wrong to blaspheme against the doctrine of their (notionally secular) thought-control cult. Of course. That is only to be expected from such cultists, both from the lying indoctrinators and from their brainwashed victims.

And while Social Justice is just recently made-up bullshit like the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Christianity is one of the foundations of Western Civ in general and Americanism specifically. Christian blasphemy laws were once ubiquitous in the States; in fact, I’ve heard that many are still on the books, so an anti-blasphemy movement could get a jumpstart by simply enforcing them again.

And if the SocJus cultists want to pass their own blasphemy laws in their own states, well, that’s perfectly fine with me – mostly because I live in Oregon and it would be against our state constitution. But it would be perfectly fine for other states, since it would violate neither the written word nor the historical intent of the First Amendment; and I don’t really care what happens to states that are not mine.

Furthermore, I would gladly welcome the advent of an open and honest debate over whose creed should be protected from blasphemy and whose shouldn’t. It would be a vast improvement over the current situation, where they have managed to frame it as whether SocJus and Islam should be protected from blasphemy, or just SocJus, or nothing. That is some sneaky-ass bullshit: “Heads we win, tails we don’t lose.”

So let’s shine some light on the issue. That’s all I’m proposing; the contest is already there, but dishonest and rigged. So let’s make it open and fair.

And may the best faith win.

Respect the value of trust by giving it carefully.

I have written about this story before in blog comments, but this post by Vox Day finally inspired me to start my own blog, so that I could get up on a soapbox more than would be appropriate in someone else's venue.

Once upon a time, a coworker of mine was fired for stealing candy, and I approved. Does that sound harsh?

I was doing security at the time. Someone with a private office wondered how the candy dish on his desk could deplete overnight in a locked room, so he set up a webcam. The night-shift guy was fired shortly thereafter.

Now, it may seem a bit much to fire someone over a bit of hard candy, but the human brain is a rationalization engine; we can justify anything. If what he stole was so trivial, then what that proves is that he could not resist temptation when it was small and easy to do without. He could easily buy his own candy.

How then could you possibly trust him in big things, where the temptation may be hard to resist? What if someone offered serious money for help with industrial espionage? If he couldn't resist ten cents' worth of temptation, how could he possibly be expected to resist ten thousand dollars' worth?

The user, the cheater, and the thief all justify it to themselves by saying oh, well, it isn't that big of a deal, it won't hurt them that much. But that is a Satanic inversion; if it isn't that big of a deal, then it should be easy to fulfill their trust.

So don't go blabbing all of your deepest secrets to the guy you just met at the bar. Tell him things that anyone who knows you would know. See if he treats those things with respect before trusting him with more.

And for more intimate relationships, the same is true and then some. Work your way up to friendship, to business, to romance, to secrets. And when you're betrayed, don't hesitate to demote your trust for them down a level or three and make them work their way back up; anything less would be dishonest and disrespectful to the worth of what they spit on.

Treat your trust with the gravity it deserves, or people will not treat you with the respect that you deserve. That is human nature. It is life, and wishing won't change it.
