One of the many frustrations of people in outsider politics is that the people inside conventional politics, especially in the conservative wing, never respond to what is going on outside of Washington. After every election, regardless of the result, they continue doing what they were doing before the election. We saw this most clearly after 2016 where Conservative Inc rallied against Trump.
The reason for that is conservatism is not just an institution or even a collection of institutions, but rather an ecosystem that provides total care for the people who are allowed to take up a place in it. If you manage to slither inside one of the institutions, you no longer live outside of your political existence. To the contrary, your entire life is now defined by your place in the political ecosystem.
The reason for that is the enormity of institutional conservatism. What it lacks in popular support it more than makes up for in financial support. That money is used to build a network of institutions that are linked together to provide a lifestyle to the people inside them that they could never achieve in the dreaded private sector. As a result, everyone inside is deeply loyal to the system.
That is the show this week. In order to provide some perspective on the size and scale of the Conservative Industrial Complex, I go through the leading organizations and explain their size and scope. This is just a sample as the system is composed of hundreds of nodes and is well over a billion dollars in revenue, before you start looking at their purely political activities.

That’s twice in a week that Z has used the word “slither” to describe the movement of members of the Regime.
In the Garden of Eden,The Great Deceiver was also a snake, so the description is accurate.
There are more serpents in DC than there are in the snake pit
Yeah, and a lot of snakes being laid to grass too.

When money controls politics the deepest pockets always win. It is always thus in the decadent phase
Decadent phase, good times, bad times, that truism always holds. The varying differential between tolerance to it from the plebiscite class relies on either how much they benefit or how close a blade they wield (metaphorically or not) to their betters.
It relies on decadence because decadence is the unmooring of cultural restraints to crass, selfish and perverted indulgence
One positive step would be to disperse the bureaucrats. Move Interior to the west, say, Denver or another city. They would be closer to their assets, meaning all that Federal land, and closer to the constituents who benefit from or more likely suffer from their acts. Next, move other departments, or abolish them. The favorite for the latter is Education. They don’t educate. Student performance is declining. They suck up resources and suck up to the proggie notions that accelerate the decline. Return their functions to the states. Some departments could be more responsive and accountable with some broad policy… Read more »
Useful suggestions for another time. We are way beyond fixing this now.
On the proximity to the ruled/subjects/administrative-zone suggestion it is problematic. Denver is Africanizing rapidly. It has taken the same path as California in embracing an accelerated Great Replacement. The bureaucrats would not be close to Americans, but to the aliens they have imported. Why would they live near the favella? The second problem is that a large number of them open every meeting with a, “land acknowledgement”, which abrogates the American Nation’s claims on Our land. It is 20 years too late for this suggestion – probably 40. The DIE reform is non-viable because it uses the same failed assumption… Read more »
Fascinating, thank you for this. At least those of us who are shut out of this system can keep a relatively clear conscience. Imagine going around day to day with that desperate fear of wrongthink which you described, which results in such craven behavior by these people, who are so desperate to maintain their position. The same process, in a far-left context, is at work, of course in the educational system now. I agree that it doesn’t appear that this system can be reformed somehow. I’ve wondered for a long time why the quality of leadership has been so low… Read more »
Heritage, otherwise a typical example of the Con, Inc., grifting complex, actually is an exception to O’Sullivan’s Law (“all organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing”). The backstory to that is delicious. Heritage appointed a Bushie Deluxe and magical negress, Kay Cole James, as its president late into Trump’s term. True to form, she also was on the take from all the usual suspects, Google looming large among them. As a direct result, once ensconced as Heritage poohbah, James predictably advocated for transgenderism, open borders and threw around racism accusations. During an interview with Tucker Carlson,… Read more »
