Something that seems to be a part of every revolution and great period of social unrest is that a cloud of suspicion descends on the society. The people, through distrust and ignorance, no longer understand or trust their rulers. The rulers, because of insularity and obstinance, no longer understand what is happening in their society. There may be factions in the public that view one another with suspicion, so they are not able to properly evaluate one another, adding to the chaos.
One thing that happens when people can no longer trust their rulers is they are ready to believe anything. The French Revolution and Bolshevik revolution, for example, had periods where crazy rumors rocketed around society. We are seeing this today with the QAnon stuff and the election lawsuits. The former was mostly escapism for unhappy people on the left-side of the bell curve. The latter was escapism for the civic nationalists who are one step from exiting the system.
In both cases, the role of these rumors and wild theories is to distract from the reality on the ground. People really wanted to believe Trump was the answer to the failing system, so they were willing to accept increasing ridiculous explanations for his inability and unwillingness to follow through on his promises. The people into this stuff are not sitting around compulsively cleaning their weapons, surrounded by stocks of MRE’s. They are highly engaged citizens who believe in the system.
Suburban civ-nats are not the only people indulging in escapism. The cosmopolitan loyalists have their own Harry Potter version of reality. You see it in this ridiculous video put out by the Tubby Tyrant of the Tidewater. Hogan is backed by the Chinese Communist Party and the neoconservatives, who think they can slither back into power and it will be the Bush years all over again. Republican escapism is built on the idea that everyone will just forget about the last four years.
You see, in this fantasy, Trump is expelled from their midst and the people rally to their banner, prepared to return to a world of old fashioned toadyism. Those sober-minded Republicans will be at the helm again, promising tax cuts for billionaires and endless wars for Israel. After all, that’s what Edmund Burke and Reagan would do. Of course, their masters promote the idea, as you see in this post. Ross Duothat’s role is to promote conservative’s official role in the farce of politics.
You’ll note that no where in that post or any of the writings of these people is there any consideration for why any of this is happening. That Duothat post should have been accompanied by this picture. While lots of white people are no doubt indulging in fantasy in the face of the massive corruption we are seeing, they are doing so for a deeper reason than just escapism. There are real problems that are not going to be papered over by installing the Pretender Biden.
Reality avoidance is not just for the little people. The reaction to the Covid-10 pandemic by members of the plutocracy is another form of escapism. Bill Gates sees himself as a trusted wise man in modern society. He has been out front promoting the latest fads on the coronavirus virus. Why a retired computer executive thinks he is an expert on pandemics is a mystery, but a bigger mystery is why he thinks the world at large trusts his judgement and advice on this issue.
This is probably the most remarkable aspect of the pandemic. The people in charge are completely unaware of the fact that hardly anyone believes them. Even the people wearing their masks to bed think the rulers have botched things. We’re not seeing public surveys on the handling of the pandemic, as it would be a waste of time and it would contradict the fantasy. The people at the top really think they are beloved by the public and it is a small bunch of hooligans causing trouble for them.
To some degree, it really does not matter what anyone thinks, other than the people in control of the institutions. They have the monopoly of force, so they can impose their reality on the rest of us. We see this with the election. The media and tech oligarchs are erasing any questions about the election and will carry on as if the Pretender Biden is a wildly popular hero of the people. They are even trying to sell him to religious people as a “church-going Catholic” who also believes in infanticide.
The thing is though, and this is the great irony of liberal democracy, is that the system needs the fantasy of self-rule to operate. The middle-class has to believe that their votes matter and the market place is always right. These efforts to suppress public debate in order to repress skepticism over the official narrative do more to undermine that fantasy of self-rule than the wild rumors. QAnon believers will keep believing the plan is still real. Take that away and the scales fall from their eyes.
This is why social unrest comes with wild rumors and conspiracy theories. The dynamic of distrust leads to various forms of escapism, which creates a barrier of confusion between the rulers and the ruled. The people at the top, rather than face their own role in the crisis, indulge in their fantasies. The people at the bottom look for explanations as to why things are not as they were promised. The desire to impose an official narrative creates more distrust, leading to more conspiracy theories.
House slaves like Ross Duothat hope that the escapism is a substitutive for real action, but the ongoing street theater says otherwise. The far Left was promised a revolution, so they will not play along with the fantasy. Now the populist Right is getting a taste of street radicalisms and they like it. A new populism is being born in the streets during these election protests. Lots of unhappy people in the streets, feeling the rush or revolt, will have time to share their theories with one another.

I have a large group of friends from a local church that is very conservative. By in large that have all been MAGA guys and big supporters of the GOP. To a man over the weekend they all have admitted that the Republicans have never actually supported them or the issues imported to conservative Christians. The shenanigans with the election and the Republican response has stripped away the last shred of support for them or honestly for liberal democracy. I was shocked and I now believe that things have been set in motion that will probably make the last century… Read more »
I was dubious that a Trump loss due to widespread fraud would discredit the nation but hopeful. I’m glad to have been wrong in my skepticism. American Yellow Vests will be interesting.
Have to admit I thought they’d whiff again and he’d prevail but it doesn’t look like it. Why? He’s relying on lawyers and lawmakers, he long ago marginalized (and allowed to be marginalized) the people who got him elected. Trump gave MAGA to the establishment losers. I still like the guy but he’s enjoying the consequences. The worst part is he’s painted himself into a corner where the only way out is to go dictator like his enemies always said he was. A countercoup by Trump would only be the last act in the movie. Frankly it would be better… Read more »
Boomer radicalization is real.
I know one 60 year old former civnat who has done a 180 since the election. He was promoting tax cuts and legal immigration (must be legal!) before.
Now, he’s yelling that the Republicans need to start committing fraud to fight back, calling them cowards, and says that you can’t fight fair when somebody wants to destroy you. He’s also suddenly developed a skepticism about immigrants, to the point where I’m telling him to tone it back in public, lest someone overhear the badthink. Crazy.
It’s time to be less openly radical then. At the risk of being a dick, I’m avoiding all things boomer, or maybe it’s better to say I’m participating in nothing they’re getting heavily involved in. They will never trust the ‘kids’ to lead, they were taught that capitalist patriots were fighting a losing war against the commies, and I have full confidence they’ll play that role. Time to hitch up to our own wagon.
Visited the parents yesterday, had a talk with them. Told them they have to realize the Constitution is now completely dead and the law isn’t going to save anybody. To my surprise they agreed.
I’m envious that you have family members that are conservative. Almost all mine are lefty, and I have to bite my tongue constantly.
I’m actually the ‘liberal’ of the family. Which is to say the only one crazy enough to stick my neck out, at least until recently. It’s kind of interesting that they see things more like I do, but also uncomfortable. I’m actually worried for them, because they’ve always avoided conflict. Not that I’m some badass, but I’m trying to give them a crash course. Proud of them though.
The cloud people luxuriating in the atmosphere inside their Overton bubble haven’t noticed the bees from the hive below skating on their rainbows.

“How can the stock market be booming when the economy is being cratered by lock downs?”
We are watching an orchestrated wealth transfer from small businesses to large connected ones.
Exactly. As someone wrote here recently, the dying empire has entered the looting stage.
Yes a lot of that was buybacks.
See Boeing. The stock market rose on debt financed stock buybacks.
Not exactly. The stock market is booming because it is entirely driven by the feds money creation, not the underlying health or lack thereof of the company’s whose stocks are traded there.
Thats largely been the case since at least 2009. It’s just become painfully obvious this year.
But they’re going to Build Back Better! Translation: less White businesses, more black businesses because they need to “champion justice and redress the intersectionality of systemic inequalities that exist.” (World Economic Forum-speak.)
> We are seeing this today with the QAnon stuff and the election lawsuits. While the idea of the lawsuits getting anywhere are the stuff of fantasy, as anyone can see with the clowns on the WI supreme court, it carries with it a propaganda victory. Even though the cases ARE solid, I’m pretty sure both Rudy and Trump are aware they will all get shot down, but what they succeed in doing is give cover for legislatures to override the election based on the general perception corrupt and weak courts. In the case they do not succeed, it makes… Read more »
This is the dream scenario for us.
The major question at this point is –
Are there any teeth in Trump’s 2018 EO regarding electoral fraud?
There’s this. Can’t wait to find out what the classified part is.
“Ron on Twitter: “Research “Executive Directive 51” If a “catastrophic emergency” results in extraordinary levels of disruption affecting the US population, infrastructure, government functions, then POTUS may be able to dissolve Congress and suspend judicial review Exact details are classified.” / Twitter” https://mobile.twitter.com/CodeMonkeyZ/status/1337927415465533440
Trump will be 78 in 2024, and there is no way big tech will ever allow a populist not of their making to ever run again.
Trump is a failure anyway…no one man without the backing of a national party can make big changes, so it’s not all his fault. The president is a creature of the system, and the system is irreparably broken.
I won’t waste time (or money) backing the GOP or Trump ever again.
I hope he doesn’t run again. If he can avoid prison, he would be much more effective as a kingmaker for the next generation and blasting the Liz Cheneys of the GOP. It’s just a matter of if his ego can handle that role.
All legal avenues must be exhausted to establish the fact that there is no longer any law.
This is where we begin.
I do think that is the utility of all this courting process. I doubt Trump has the stones to do that thing that he should do, but demonstrating how far within the normal bounds of law he has gone makes what is essentially our point for us. When you hear some person say they would die for Trump, what you should hear them trying to say is that they would kill to stop the sadistic overlords who rule us. I think all the Q-Anon-ing and the rest of the conspiracy theories are how people cope with a nation moving from… Read more »
Why a retired computer executive thinks he is an expert on pandemics is a mystery, but a bigger mystery is why he thinks the world at large trusts his judgement and advice on this issue. Madame Ceausescu claimed to be a doctor, as does Jill Biden. The former was illiterate, and the latter doesn’t seem ready to attend a MENSA meeting in any capacity other as an invited celebrity guest speaker. Gates would do well to recall the fate of Madame Ceausescu as he cozies up to Dr. Biden. Dr. Ceausescu had much more power and protection than Gates ever… Read more »
There’s no mystery. Get out of the dissident-right bubble and the sad fact is most people don’t see grandfatherly Bill Gates and “Dr.” Jill Biden as being bad people. Same for Fauci. Those on this side of the great divide are cursed with hateful cynicism and most people just want to goddamn grill.
Mask up, vax up!
Aren’t these people pushed forward by a sytem which destroys you if you speak outside a narrow corridor of talking points? The average person is aware of this and I doubt they have any great affection for the people who are associated with this arrangement. I think you underestimate the sheer amount of effort that the average person expends editing themselves to conform to the pack. Normal people are extremely cynical in that they have no values other than repeat the majority view and don’t be incorrectly conspicuous. Fear and dishonesty maintain the status quo. The “romantics” are the dissidents… Read more »
“…there likely will be a catastrophic collapse after the forbearance on federally backed mortgages ends January 1, 2022.”
I don’t know what ‘forbearance’ is, could somebody briefly explain what this means, or means to us, please? What’ll happen?
forbearance = don’t have to pay your mortgage
The fate of the Ceausescus, as in they were all shot? LOL, get that thought out of your head, that’s just pure comeuppance delusional fantasy. Won’t happen. The Gates’ of the world today simply don’t exist in the realms of existence where anyone who has ready access to them will harm them, let alone any of common stock. In fact, given today’s conditions, be careful throwing around such flippancy.
Gates and his ilk have extremely well-paid, extremely comptent 24/7/365 Security teams.
Heck, I bet the lowest paid guys on Gates’ team are worth 7 figures.
It’s amazing how delusional Trump is. He can’t seriously think he’s running in 4 years. That he will live to see that as a free man?? So weird. My standard response when anyone starts talking fearfully about covid is to say “oh you know a lot of people that have died then?” I got to say it’s really amusing because of course the answer is always no they don’t know anyone. And then they start talking about the vaccine and how everything is going to be better in a few months and I just say “no it’s not” really calmly,… Read more »
And then they start talking about the vaccine and how everything is going to be better in a few months and I just say “no it’s not” really calmly, smiling even. Yes. The precedent has been set. A full year ago nobody would have even suggested ‘lockdown’ as a viable thing to do. We would rightly laugh at individuals fervently wearing their protective visors, maintaining the 2m distance and arguing about whether it should in fact be 2m or 1.644m. The future sure is going to be interesting; like well trained troops no doubt the populace will respond in lockstep… Read more »
Maybe someday we too can have 59 vaccinations and be as strong and healthy as the kids are.
My standard response when anyone starts talking fearfully about covid is to say “oh you know a lot of people that have died then?” Be careful with that, because more and more people are dying of Covid and there will be plenty of banner-wavers. No, I’m not saying what you think I am… In the not-too-distant past, people frequently died at old age or from cancer or disease. Their passing may have been hastened on by a co-morbidity like pneumonia, influenza, common cold, or any number of relatively minor things that are nasty when the system is already seriously compromised.… Read more »
It falls on deaf ears no matter what.
Good point.
Well, it doesn’t fall on deaf ears so much as it falls on dumb brains.
Have you discovered a way to tell the difference?
When gramma starts dying from the vax the Covidian argument will immediately flip to, “Lol, old people die all the time, silly.”
He’s gonna run from his jail cell in a fraud election where Kamala gets 800 gorillion votes and wins in a landslide victory. Lol.
In a way, it’s a relief to have the hysterics and shrieking of Orange Man Bad in the rear view mirror. Now we get to watch Biden/Kamala and CNN and the rest of the idiots in the media deal with the coming housing bubble bursting and the economic mess from the pandemic, along with the increasing amount of pissed off normies shaken into reality dealing with the coming antiwhite policies.
All current events bad news is blamed on the previous President, all current good news is explained by the current President. Doubly so with a Democrat in office.
With the US press corps, it has always been thus. Worse now as the press is monolithic and journalism is dead.
“What happens when those mortgage forbearance plans expire? Delinquency rates remain at levels you see in a severe economic crisis. How about those late rent payments? Those problems are not getting better with jobless claims going up.”
unfixable, you need to get rid of non whites to resolve these issues, which won’t happen.
what will happen is us turns into brazil, europe turns into middle east.
I imagine all these rent/mortgage forebearance proclamations will be extended, of course causing more landlords to go under. The fed will just keep throwing $$ at the mess until it all implodes, which should happen soon enough. Real change will start happening then and the cloud people ain’t gonna like it.
The financial collapse looming will happen slowly then all at once.
Always does
Why we need to implore people on our side to hunker down, get their finances in order, bat the hatches, and be ready to weather the coming storm
Wasting time and energy on GOP politics won’t save them for what’s coming

Gates most probably just relishes bossing people about. With all that cash and all that clout, he could attempt to remake the world in his vision. Perhaps as a way to get revenge for all the times he was stuff into lockers at high school. Popular psychology of course, but probably on the money.
You had some nice rhyming going on to start!
introduce the word “lout” and we got ourselves a decent little ditty 😁
Why a retired computer executive thinks he is an expert on pandemics is a mystery, but a bigger mystery is why he thinks the world at large trusts his judgement and advice on this issue. It isn’t uncommon for men who have great success in one area to think they are experts in everything. Gates is far from alone among his peers in that regard. They also trust each other as experts regardless of what the results are as long as it makes them feel good. Jeffrey Sachs is considered one of the most influential economists in the world, Gates… Read more »

When they tabulate unemployment numbers one thing goes missing. All the business owners and self employed don’t get counted when their careers are cancelled. That is a substantial number. Of course the official tabulations are not accurate but still needs to be said.
Yep, and that’s why the economic geniuses (I.e. 20 something analysts hired by mega firms) were caught by surprise at the higher number of unemployment claims in the past month
Zman are you on the Cotto Gottfried show today? If so looking forward to it
In Re: QAnon. I’ve never seen a clearer real life case study of the book “When Prophecy Fails” -L Festinger than otherwise sane conservatives “Trusting the Plan” and “The Storm is Coming”. It’s literally crazy.
Also: Increasingly obvious people “listen” to Gates because he’s RICH (and generous), not because he’s SMART. He is smart (in a narrow area), but who wouldn’t “listen” to a intellectual gadfly who also is willing to write huge checks to your organization if properly flattered?
Back in the 1980s and 1990s, Gates fought both Washington and the media because he felt like everyone should stay out of his business. Therefore, he was disliked by Washington and the media.
But then Gates discovered that showering both groups with money via charities, political donations, jobs, speaking fees, etc., made you wildly popular. It also allowed you a power and influence well beyond the computer industry.
No worries. After Gates’ time has come, his legacy will be felt in the form of mandatory, poorly timed updates to your Windows OS. The man truly is evil.
Not a Windows 10 user, are you? Don’t blame you. Balmer gets a lot of flack for his time at the helm, but damn did things really obviously go downhill after he left.
Much of the last four years is well on its way down the memory hole. Other than “Orange Man Bad” and COVID, what will be remembered? The media certainly ignored all else.
now that I think about, yeah, other than covid and election year mischief in 2020 what will trump years be remembered for? Nothing really happened other than media hysterics.
I’ll have to think about it
News of election 2020 mischief will be clubbed until no longer moving. Then forgotten.
Why I think Biden as POTUS is a good thing. As someone has said, 2021 is the tar baby. Let that stick to Biden and the Dems. Whatever is bad for Dems is good for me.
They will blame every problem on Trump and take credit for ending the shutdowns and “beating” Covid. The media will help them churn out propaganda to support this narrative every step of the way.
They will but the people won’t buy it
hence greater and greater detachment between the cloud and the dirt people. The old tricks won’t work when people are facing the prospect of being homeless
I respect your optimism, yet remain entirely too skeptical.

You’re not wrong, in a way. There are just so many grifters in key positions these days, each working his own angle that you can be damn sure you won’t benefit.

The Hogan video is pretty funny. Quite the word salad with lots diversity thrown in for good measure. I forget how clueless these people are. If he (and his handlers) think that message is going to work going forward, I suspect that they’re in for a nasty surprise.
Boycotting people like Hogan would be a very effective tool. The GOP needs to die to help wake up CivNat Whites. They’ll see that no matter how badly the GOP does in elections, it won’t acknowledge them or take up their issues.
Notice the Hogan video has comments disabled. Worse, it has the thumbs up/down ratio disabled. Kind of says it all. If anything, the video will have the opposite of the intended effect.
Sounds like another grifter Lincoln Project-esque organization burning dumb millionaires money.
Good.
Hogan thinks that, because he managed to win as a Republican in Maryland, his career arc is a viable template for the future. See, Reagan won 49 states, so…
Everyone is working on a fantasy these days. The only people telling the truth are those who point out nobody is coming to save you. And half the people who post those memes don’t really believe in, either.
Start passing out pamphlets that address specific chinks (()) in the globalist armor. The vaccine is a good place to start. Even the news networks can’t spin injecting this gene-altering, rabbinical precum as a prudent health decision — let alone with exactly zero longitudinal studies. Start there. “I’m not anti-vax, but clearly this is something different. Just because they’re not forcing us to take it today doesn’t mean they won’t try to force us to tomorrow. When that day comes, it’d be best if we all knew each other and had a plan.”
I just started working the Post-It note angle this past weekend. I printed out a sheet of 5160 sized stickers, each one with a short saying, and put them on Post-Its, which I have begun leaving on items in large stores. “It’s OK to be white”, “Masks are juju”, “Happy Xmas (Covid Is Over)” and others.
I definitely need to add some vaccine-skeptical phrases. If anyone here has any suggestions, on any topics, please let me know.

All very true and on point. One clarification- in America by Constitution, law, administratively and in fact there is no monopoly on the use of force. As indeed we see in the streets. There’s never a monopoly in fact, just some regimes legally make it so – but in our regime not even legally. That’s if the elites could trust the troops and police rank and file – they can’t. Generals can be bought and are, so with Police Chiefs- but the rank and file know and loathe them. Had we a leader, a biter instead of a carny barker… Read more »

Mentioning reality is being mean
The whole country has gone mad. It seams everyone is delusion sally detached from reality. Perhaps that’s the real legacy of the information revolution, everyone lives in their own virtual reality – shaped by their imagination regardless of reality. Not sure how well it will work when people’s personal VR bubbles intersect.
From what I see, the media is more fiction than fact—I guess that is why they refer to the news as a narrative. You have to trust your eyeballs first. In my case, I own a well-located building that housed a very popular, casual restaurant. The building is grand, the restaurant was simple, with excellent local food and reasonable prices. Covid shut the place down and street riots chased most of the customers away. The owner who supported a young family and forty or so employees ran out of money and is gone for good. There been no rent since the shutdown… Read more »
