Most Americans have always understood that their politicians are not really in charge of the government or even their own offices. The secret hand of “special interests” guide the daily functioning of the state. In the old days this meant rich guys from the world of business, local interest in the home state of the representative and powerful people with connections inside government. These days it is those things plus government unions and foreign powers like Israel and China.
Despite the role of special interests, people still participated in the democratic process on the assumption that everything has a limit. Those special interests manipulating the system would have to yield to popular will eventually. After all, those politicians have interests too. If they keep finking on their voters, they will find themselves on the losing end of the next election. Even the most craven politician would eventually have to draw the line with the money men telling him how to vote.
A regular plot in movies and television is the politician who has a crisis of conscience over some issue and he turns on the money men in support of the people. Alternatively, and now quite amusingly, a heroic member of the press exposes the shady backroom deals to the public. The public, having been informed of the shady dealings, turns on the participants. Sometimes it is a combination of these plots, but in the end the public will triumphs over the shady backroom dealers.
When you stop and think about it, the way in which politics and the media are presented in movies and television is a masterful bit of propaganda. On the one hand, it fully acknowledges the corruption of all democratic politics. The people in the system are always bad people. On the other hand, the bad guys always lose to the good guys, the voters, so it is proof that the system works. In other words, political corruption is turned into proof that the system works. That is some real 4-D chess.
If you want to take the 4-D chess idea further, you can add in the occasional arrest of a shady politician for political corruption. These scandals are always turned into morality tales by the authorities and the media. The FBI starts dishing dirt about the target to stenographers in the media. Then they coordinate with the media for the big day when the scoundrel is hauled away in chains. Often, the story is then forgotten, as it has served its purpose in reinforcing the narrative of democracy.
Of late, something seems to be broken with the system. It started with the governor of South Dakota, who vetoed a bill banning men from playing girls sports. Krisiti Noem, despite spelling her name like a stripper and looking like the antihero of a country music video, was being prepped for a national role. Then all of a sudden, for no clear reason, she decided to support men playing girls’ sports. She was forced to go on Tucker Carlson to humiliate herself in service to the “trans” agenda.
Just this week, this same bizarre pattern repeated itself. Asa Hutchinson, the neocon governor of Arkansas, vetoed a bill that would have banned the mutilation of children, whose hysterical mothers believed were another sex. Even if you think men should be allowed to mutilate themselves with sex change operations, subjecting children to things like chemical castration is monstrous. Yet, Hutchinson vetoed the bill and then went on Tucker to humiliate himself in service to the “trans” agenda.
It is not unreasonable to ask what in the hell is going on here? Normally this is the sort of issue that politicians love. They get to pretend to heroically oppose something without risking any political capital. After all, only deviants and sadists support the mutilation of children, so opposing it is risk-free. It is not as if there is a lot of votes in the transvestite community or some philosophical point here, like with drug legalization. Transvestites are few and most are poor due to their mental illness.
In the case of Noem, she was responding to demands from the NCAA, who threatened to pull their events from the state. One of Noem’s donors owns facilities that would profit from these events. That just leads to a further question. Why does the NCAA, which promotes the hell out of women’s sports, want to support the destruction of women’s sports by transvestites? What is their interest here? In a way, they are being put in the same humiliating position as the politicians.
The answer seems to be corporate America. In the interview with Asa Hutchinson, Tucker asked him repeatedly if the mega-corps in his state like Walmart had pressured him to support the mutilation of children. Hutchinson got very uncomfortable, as if he suspected Tucker knew the answer before he asked. The governor denied he talked to any of those companies, but the viewer was left with the impression that he was being forced to do what he was doing by those companies.
The trouble with blaming corporate America is they have less of a reason to support these monstrous policies than the politicians. The political class is largely insulated from the voters these days. Over 95% of incumbents win reelection. The number of contested seats in the House, for example, is 25-50, depending upon the election and who is in the White House. In other words, the pols can afford to embrace boutique ideas, like allowing men in drag to play girl’s field hockey.
Corporations, in theory at least, are not insulated from the public. A boycott of Walmart is not going to bankrupt them, but it can impact the business. Even if they are not worried about that, what is the point of embracing this madness? It is not going to increase business. Surely, they have to know it. The fact is though, it appears that the engine of revolutionary social change, like the ritual mutilation of children, is being driven by global corporations.
The motivations at work here are important, but the issue at the moment is that this naked display of power is breaking the old myth of democracy. Suddenly, those “special interests” are not a force to be checked by popular will. They are not operating in the shadows, fearing exposure. They are right out in front. Using these cases to tell the people their opinions do not matter. It does not matter what they think. The people in charge are the mega-corps and they will do as they please.

Doesn’t it on some level make many wonder why these politicians are so craven?
Especially the older ones who have more money than God and should be retired to lavish in their ill gotten gains. Still they lie and plot and obfuscate into oblivion for keeping their present position and status.
Some will sell their souls and destroy good families and their children just for a cabinet appointment.
Maybe the long walk with the devil over all these years has them surrendering their souls and made them totally feckless in the face of a stronger force.

It is a strange thing. Noem is a dunce, so I can see how she could be easily manipulated. She is governor because the important corporate interests in her state put her in office. Hutchinson is 70 and has no future beyond this position. I guess he can hope for an ambassadorship in the coming years, but that’s a stretch. My impression watching hi is that a lifetime being a sock puppet has left him without agency. He no longer knows how to think for himself. He is a husk a man.
11
I viewed Hutchinson as trying to desperately cling to his hoped-for WalMart Board of Directors gig.
4
Yeah, but the guy is 70. How much money does he need?
3
That was what surprised me about Hutchinson. Noem has future aspirations, but why wouldn’t Hutchinson just fight them and then retire with his dignity when his term ends? He also knew the legislature had the votes to override his veto, so he wasn’t able to do globohomo’s bidding in the first place. Could pressure from children or grandchildren be a factor here like it was with that Senator from Ohio who became a squish when his son came out as gay?
4
Wikipedia says the AR governor makes ~$148k/year. Bill Clinton was pulling in only $35k/year when he defiled the governor’s mansion. Regardless, in that world, that’s chump change. Unless he engorged himself with insider trading while in the Senate, the most likely explanation is that Hutchinson is not all that rich, and viewed political office as a stepping stone to corporate financial security.
2
If this is true Hutchinson should have plenty of money. Who knows how many more deals he has gotten since 2006.

Noem also looks like an interesting character. She went to Northern State University. I’ve spent some time in SD and I’ve never even heard of that college, i.e. a no-name college in a no-name state.
Not trying to trash NSU, but this woman obviously isn’t some rural scholar.
She also beat much bigger names than herself to get into Congress. Could just be luck, but it’s interesting.
SD is a small state from a population standpoint, so I’m sure there’s a relatively small number of big players, who likely don’t change much. That said, how many NCAA events are held in SD.
6
The city of Sioux Falls built an events center to attract bigger concerts, sporting events, etc. One of the goals was to get men’s NCAA tournament games. The NCAA came back and told them the city didn’t have good enough hotels to qualify. They are getting other concerts and events and have gotten some lower level NCAA events. The push to bring all this in is tied to Sanford Hospital which is the largest employer in the state. They have expanded into other states and are trying to be an accepted member of globohomo.
Noem’s backstory is that her interest in politics came from having to dropped out of college when her father died to help run the family ranch and other businesses. She was shocked at the estate tax bill the family was hit with. I don’t know all the details, but since her mother is still alive, she has to be exaggerating somewhat. She eventually finished college when she ran for the House. Noem had built up a lot of good will with conservative voters due to her response to Covid. Like most South Dakota Republicans her primary focus is on attracting large employers and making them happy. They will not buck globohomo.
5
Sioux Falls. Should have figured.
Eastern South Dakota might as well be Iowa or Minnesota, i.e. cuck central. Sioux Falls looks and acts like a Mpls suburb. I’ve heard about their push to be an event center, which I always found odd given the relatively low population of the area. SF only has ~175k. Sioux City is an hour and a half away. Mankato is a haul. Not sure how many people you can draw.
Anyway, Sioux Falls also has been a banking/credit card hub for decades, so you can bet those guys are all in on globohomo.
Also, like you said, SF is a major medical center. And doctors, nurses and health administrators love, love, love globohomo and all the interesting restaurants that it brings.
Regarding Covid, Noem has been a champ. Whatever her intellectual chops, she seems to typical “good” South Dakotan. Conservative, loves personal freedom, which is great. But let’s hope that she’s doesn’t have the downside of those “good” South Dakotans, such as viewing identity politics as the worst thing ever and wanting to be respected by the big boys.

Totally agree. Like mitch is 80. How much more money and power does he need? Diminishing returns. In the past rich and powerful people handed things off to their kids.
Also wondered what benefit they see in destroying the usa. I guess the rich live ok in brazil. But what about south africa? Zimbabwe? Venezuela? Is it worth having a Ferrari when there are no roads to drive it on? Pretty much every first world country is getting ghettoized. Unless the current elites plan on jumping ship over to china I don’t see how even they will benefit in the long term, other than stacks of worthless shekels.

You gotta watch Chinatown, which is on the AFI list.
The answer is,
“The future, Mr. Gittes…the FUTURE!”

“Also wondered what benefit they see in destroying the usa. I guess the rich live ok in brazil. But what about south africa? Zimbabwe? Venezuela? Is it worth having a Ferrari when there are no roads to drive it on? Pretty much every first world country is getting ghettoized. ”
They probably believe half-whites are easy to control and adequate enough to maintain some semblance of civilization.

Yes, the controllers have little to no idea how much effort, energy, money, and time is required to support their private jets, helos, and exotic cars.
Jeeves won’t be driving them around in the Bentley after most bridges have collapsed in their glorious Woke future.
4
I don’t believe they have thought that far ahead. I think it’s a variation on the South Park underpants gnomes business model (1. Steal underpants; 2. ?; 3. Profit). For the Left, it’s 1. Flood the zone with illegals; 2. Gain permanent power; 3. ?.
2
Great piece. Corporations have become a worse threat than government.
6
The business of America is business. Said someone.
2
That may have been true, but clearly it is no longer true. Unless you can make the business case for mutilating children, something else is the business of America now.
17
Business does not care about profits. If they are large enough, they just come. Financial Repression means investors must dump money in stocks to chase even the tiniest return. The Fed prints free money for them. There are endless waves of third world people getting free money from the Fed to buy Doritos and Coke.
White people and particularly White men are irrelevant and indeed obsolete and headed for “liquidation” in all senses of the word. So profits don’t matter because no big organization will ever be allowed to fail.
Of course, globohomo has a lot of money, and eventually some Castro type will come for them like the King of France came for the Knights Templar. But that’s another decade off at least. Well, maybe two years.
It’s South Dakota, not North Dakota.

Downvote?
It’s not a big deal nor was it a criticism of Z. He writes these quickly, which is amazing. But Noem is, in fact, the governor of South Dakota, not North Dakota. I was simply pointing this out to Z so he could correct it, in part so no dipshits could come along and discredit the overall logic of the piece because he made a specific mistake.
15
1
That is an error of fact, so the correction is welcome. I don’t ant the good people of North Dakota made at me.
8
Ha. The funny part is that North Dakota is about the only state that South Dakotans look down upon as being backward.
Actually, that’s not true, it’s the only state that eastern South Dakotans look down upon. Western South Dakotans look down on the entire planet – save a few western states – for its lack of beauty and freedom. And they’re right.
6
You are quite Dakota knowledgeable.
It is -specifically – East River (Missouri ) vs. West River folks.
With variations, identical sentiments in both North & South Dakota.
Short take: West River is the cowboy way
East River is much more midwestern
It is a very distinct line.
Bingo. Ranchers vs farmers.
Culturally, geographically and economically, eastern SD is basically Iowa or Minnesota. Cold, flat and full of the nicest super-cucks you’ll ever meet.
Western SD, especially Rapid City and surrounding areas, are Wyoming or Montana. Drier, mountainous and full of extremely independent folks – who, sadly, hate the idea of identity politics.
For a generally rural and ethnically-homogenous state, South Dakota’s Whites are remarkably different. Whites have a lot of diversity.
You’ve answered your own question in past essays. Politics always had local grift, or as a politician friend put it, “honest graft”. The benefits were local and the local political class got a “taste”. Now it runs on a global scale and there are riches beyond the scale of getting in a few local land deals where the new interstate was going to go through. Why was the Washington crew so pissed off about Trump tanking the Iranian deal? Because peddling influence in the re-opening of Iran was going to be the big score for these people. Got a copy of the Hunter laptop courtesy of Jack Maxey, and just casually trolling the emails and texts in there, it is abundantly clear that this is the case. The local constituents, or for that matter the majority of Americans are simply an annoying afterthought to these people.
14
But where is the pay off with the trannies and queers, Sam? I can see those guys being motivated by money, but sexual perversion only appeals to lefties. The Repubs should be screaming bloody murder about it. If money is the root of all this evil… who is paying?
2
Look around. They get power and the ability to dictate how domestic society is run. Inflicting their own issues on the rest of society is their “high” See Eric Hoffer for reference.
9
It’s not about the money for the business leaders. Their businesses aren’t going anywhere. Now, it’s about moving up the prestige and respect ranks of their people, and their people are the country’s elite – media, academia, charity party throwers, etc.
And the elite love trannies.
Always ask the question: Who are your (or their) people?
The answer to that question answer a lot of others.
12
Do they? Or are they afraid of them?
Not trying to be a dink or a woman hater… but I see women driving the vast majority of globohomo…
But whadda I know?
1
Citizen: At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I would agree but add that it’s specifically the wives of the elite who love trannies. While there is an abnormally large group of small hat wearers in charge, who undoubtedly have their own sexual perversions or homosexual brothers or sons, there are still a number of traitorous Whites up there with them who, I would argue, would be uncomfortable around flagrant homosexuality or trannies. It’s their wives who have homosexual best friends and their kids who’ve been propagandized, even in their expensive private schools, to love sexual perversion. Add in the dramatic drop in White testosterone levels and 2nd generation feminism, and there’s intense pressure on even the few sexually normal White men left.
Fear not. Ben Shapiro said it is time to fight back against corporate America. In a nutshell he said if you don’t like Coca Cola’s fascism, start your own soft drink company. Or start your own baseball league. Hannity will explain it all tonight. Tick Tock…..

It truly is bizarre.
I saw one going round on Blab where some guy had divorced his wife – and was being forced to pay $5K/month to support his son’s gender change therapies. There was the usual outrage from the half dozen comments, but only one hit home – this was a prime case for a justifiable homicide – and the boy’s mother should be murdered. It could be successfully argued that the boy would be better off in a foster home with a deceased mother and a father in jail. But who knows, it all could have been fake news.
Z… I am gagging on the 4D chess thing. The morons doing this are too dumb to play 2D chess or even checkers. It would take a world class genius to change a culture like this. You won’t see that kind of brain power in the guys running Walmart, Twatter, or what have you. Truth to tell, most of these oligarchs are as dumb as the politicians they pay for.
The only marginally viable suspect would be the Russians or the Chinese, they have the expertise at blowing up old cultures and replacing them with new ones… but even they have limits and problems of their own.
I think this thing is homegrown. America has deserted God, and now God will do the same to America. I think those politicos ARE “doing the will of the people”. Most shitlibs are right behind this kind of stuff. The cringe and pucker factor on it is so disagreeable most cucked conservatives don’t want to think about it. America is becoming a land of very shitty people, and no bones about it.
Present company excepted of course.
12
This is “emergent behavior” rather than “conspiracy”

> this was a prime case for a justifiable homicide – and the boy’s mother should be murdered.
Always wondered what would happen if some older people with a terminal illness just decided to dispense some justice before going to the great beyond (in Minecraft).

Yep, God favors the Russians, Putin is rebuilding churches, in the US Christians are forced to take part in fag marriage
The Taliban fight for Allah, the US fights for (((globohomo))), I know who I want to win, do you

Turning our backs on God, Nature, and the good in the world are exactly why America and the West now have their necks hung with the twin millstones of the Covid and BLM death cults.
6
Thank God somebody else noticed! I thought I was going nuts.
In the end of the day, this is still moral issue. For example immigration is one of the most voted things last 50 years and voters all over West reject every last politician who is even remotely anti immigration. And politicians know this. You can be anti trans but one little defamation campaign and you are doomed.
4
2
Do they? Trump was the first national politician who made immigration a major campaign issue. Others on the left and right have carefully avoided putting it directly before the public.
Both George W. Bush and Marco Rubio really wanted amnesty but were forced to back down from their sneaky attempts to impose it when their machinations became known to voters.
Most polls show Americans opposed to illegal immigration by substantial margins. Most support legal immigration, but I believe that is declining and only due to a massive “nation of immigrants” propaganda campaign that’s been going on for at least 140 years, waged from the time children enter school
The US public has not gotten to express its will regarding immigration in decades.
8
Heck, the big guy’s ratings are plunging over the current immivasion and his DHS is talking about restarting the Wall.
The internal polling must be horrific for them to leak this.
You just can’t make this stuff up anymore.

What about the possibility of classic blackmail; these corporations have something on these politicians that is so embarassing that they’ll publicly humiliate themselves to avoid the greater humilitation of the release of the blackmail material? In Robert Penn Warren’s All the King’s Men, the protagonist finally finds some dirt on a judge who is a problem for Willie Stark. There’s a line in the novel:
“Man is conceived in sin and born in corruption and he passeth from the stink of the didie to the stench of the shroud. There is always something”
I think that the quote goes on to give examples of evidence tending to prove guilt and how the “lovers of truth” find it, but I can’t seem to find it. With modern methods of communication monitoring, it might not be too difficult to find compromising material on anyone.
6
Blackmail is a time honored tradition that certainly still goes on, but the thoroughness of the cloud people’s psychotic break suggests something else is at play. If everyone was being blackmailed for the same thing, you’d think they’d all just throw their hands up and say, “fuck it, if everyone’s doing it then what’s the big deal?”
2
There was a great article making the rounds a few years back, where I think they coined the term boutique belief, where the rich and powerful embraced all sorts of insane moral beliefs that separated them from your average Joe, but lived their lives like a White guy from the 1950’s. Z has made similar points.
They will espouse integration while living in all white neighborhoods, trash talk the need of marriage while being in a stable marriage themselves, advocate propagandizing children to the gay agenda while insulating them from the Internet, etc.
My personal favorite is a rich shitlib uncle of mine married to a Jewish woman who had a massive Debutante Ball for his daughter. The entire spectacle was something out of the Antebellum South or the old European aristocracy. Their basic behaviors would not make them out of place in the palaces of old.
Instead of the rich beating down the lower classes with good old fashioned economic repression (though a lot of that goes on), they do it now by propagandizing them to horrible mind viruses.
17
Most likely blackmail and physical threats. Perhaps threats on their families. Gaetz seems to be a good example. Most likely he refused something to do with globohomo and boom, a career ending “scandal” comes out.
8
Gaetz strikes me as enough of a loose cannon that he would expose any attempted extortion. A better explanation is that he’s being sacrificed as a demonstration to someone else.

First, Kristi Noem will cut your balls off. She’s no pushover, despite the smear campaign being waged against her by the MSM & Conservative Inc. Second, she didn’t veto the bill, she sent it back to the legislature & asked for 3 small changes in it. Why? Because the bill as passed would fall prey to a diabolical legal strategy by Progressives who own the Eighth Circuit of the Court of Appeals (which includes South Dakota). The legislation (as passed) would have been tied up in court for many years, during which all high school sports in the state would have been forced by Court injunction to allow males to compete in women’s sports. This whole debacle was a trap meant to bring down a politician that scared the Left shitless. Yes, they are are playing 4D chess. But Kristi Noem is not the Bad Guy in this, and is not a patsy either. We best learn to fight like they do and not eat our own.
7
3
You’ve pointed out the major flaw in her plan: she is contorting her beliefs to exist inside the system instead of challenging the system itself. You see this with nominal conservatives (like her) exclaiming about protecting Title 9 when the basis for Title 9 means the eventual victory of the trans brigade since it’s whole basis of fact is ignoring sex differences.
4
Kristi Noem is a governor and only has influence over state law. She can feasibly obstruct the trans agenda for high school and younger girls in her state, who number in the tens of thousands. Title 9 is federal law, which can only be changed by a wholesale replacement of Congress. No governor can fix that. And there are only a few hundred women in South Dakota competing at the college level. Kristi Noem has been clear that she would like to see Title 9 changed, but that is not a battle she can win by herself, and she’s not going to sacrifice her grade school thru high school women athletes in a losing battle with the Federal Courts & Congressional insanity. Secession may be the only cure for the latter.
1
So rather than fighting and losing she elects to just lose with no fight.
I get what you’re saying: within the existing paradigm she is powerless before globohomo. It is asking a lot of any politician, especially a lady politician, to challenge the existing paradigm, but that’s what people were looking for.
2
Kristi Noem, will betray you. She already has, and you are coming up with rationalizations as to why. I suspect you don’t want to confront the fact that you bought all of your stock in a politician who proceeded to sell you out yet again like all the others. The question becomes whether you will double down because of your ego, and sink along with her, or decide to cash in the chips while they are worth something.
6
You can find Kristi Noem’s public policy positions online and also the as-passed legislation wording, plus analysis by legal experts in South Dakota (not the national lapdogs of Left). Do your homework.
Noem is tough as nails and not the typical DC corruptocrat that is being pitched in the media. South Dakota is 85% Caucasian, largely rural, and still very religious. She’s been elected to office 17 times in her home state. The people of South Dakota seem to think very well of her.
Then why not put in her own bill?
Or sign this bill and publicly fight the evil parts in court, every hearing a chance to get on camera and tell the world what the other side is trying to do.
5
TomA: Noem may look good posturing, but in many cases that’s all it is. She very carefully chose NOT to choose to opt out of refugee resettlement in South Dakota. I’m willing to be convinced otherwise, but am presently intensely suspicious of any politician being pushed as the next ‘genuine conservative’ savior. Most are civnats at best, and very few people have really looked into the money and forces behind them.
“What the hell is going on?”. It certainly seems like we’ve entered bizarro world, but that is only if you base it on what a logical and sane person would think. If history is to be believed, societies, tribes, families, any human grouping, often go mad and destroy themselves for what from our perspective looks like insane reasons. Perhaps it’s the fatal flaw in the evolutionary fitness of intelligence: that way leads to madness.
Given the resources of the modern technological world and the depth of insanity we’re seeing, we may have only scratched the surface of were this goes. Think of your favorite apocalyptic thriller movie, with the cast all on acid. I’m thinking Firefly meets Wild In The Streets.
5
At this rate, we’re headed for the Hell dimension in the deleted scene from, “Event Horizon.”
That film is definitely not on the AFI list.

The reason a business case for corporate woke-ism is hard to find is that it largely doesn’t exist. But corporations are clearly motivated to be seen on the “side of the angels” so someone is driving that trend. Tucker et. al. have suggested its an intentional mask to deflect public attention from their kleptocratic efforts. But that seems a bit too clever. That wouldn’t explain why, for example, the Boy Scouts would alienated their biggest supporters and 25% of their total membership (the mormons) to make common cause with people who would never associated themselves with something as retrograde and square as Scouting. Yet BSA did just that, in what appears to be stark contradiction not just to their mission, but to their financial health. My explanation is that this is driven by social pressures, especially among the wives of these executives. To be socially hip/cool/trendy is taken as granted in the posh residences of corporate leadership, including the BSA leadership. More importantly, to express reluctance to social fads risks social ostracism in that world, which is the stuff of horror movies among the fair sex. BTW … this explains why John Roberts has turned into a squish: he lives in Chevy Chase.
15
The only first level explanation I can come up with is the mega corps honesty believe they can maximize their demographic reach, and thus their profits, via the implementation of repressive tolerance.
Still seems too simple.
3
They don’t care about customers or profits. They’re beyond that now.
4
I’m not sure that Roberts was ever anything other than a squish.
4
But what are the CEOs of the corporations getting out of this?
To quote one of my favorite movies (Miller’s Crossing) and characters, Tom: “You do things for a reason.”
What’s their angle? Their getting something out of the personally or they wouldn’t do it. My guess is that the giant multi-nationals are so safe in their positions that the people running them can move up the “levels of needs” hierarchy to love and belonging and esteem.
5
If I could hazard a guess, it’s that today’s CEOs are the first ones to reach that position having spent nearly their entire career subjected to the DIE regime. If my place of work is any indication, you cannot get to even a local department manager position without being a publicly enthusiastic supporter of vibrancy and girl power. To become a plant manager requires even more ardent support. To reach the corporate office you have to be completely obeisant, as well as actively reinforce the same beliefs among the leaders below you. Anyone who makes it to CEO, President, or other corporate head position will now unquestioningly assume that the woke agenda is embraced by the entire organization.
3
That makes a lot of sense. There’s always a 20 to 30 year lag in all of this. The 55-year-old CEO started working his way up 30 years ago – 1990. Maybe some non-believers were moving up in the 1990s but after 2000, you had to be on board with globohomo.

It bears repeating:
The BlackRock and State Street ETF’s own the stock market.
Vote your 100 individal shares of Coke to determine the board of directors? Ha.
These two institutions control every company in the S&P 500, DJIA and Nasdaq.
Every two weeks, I give them my retirement funds to have even more power.
My alternate investment strategy, copper and lead, is rational, but not conducive to a life of anything beyond “Lord of the Flies” or “Mad Max”.

There is enormous money behind World War T.

Does it explain *why* though?
To me the most accurate explanation is that somebody is trying to destroy the United States. Confused gender roles, legalized drugs and crime, open borders with the 3rd world, etc.
DinoDixie mentions above that maybe we have been conquered by a foreign power. The only two possibilities are China or Israel. Maybe China actually has complete control and is trying to destroy the USA to weaken it?
1
Well, you got me since I’ve only listened to interviews with the author.
That said, does the why matter? Does it really help us fight back and defeat these forces?
I feel there are multiple foreign factions working to destroy the US, with the two you mentioned being the most prominent and powerful.
Of those two, I couldn’t say which one is dominant. I have my strong opinion, though I understand many disagree with it.
“The fact is though, it appears that the engine of revolutionary social change, like the ritual mutilation of children, is being driven by global corporations.”
Of the 52 senior executives of the largest American asset management firms, private equity funds and hedge funds, 37 are J*uws, have J*uwish spouses or work directly towards Zionist interests. This is a numerical representation of 71%.
those “investment management firms” have their tentacles in basically every major western corporation out there. Sure, one can say the other 29% have other agendas, chinese agendas or whatever, but I’m thinking the 29% have to play ball with the 71%.
Point is there’s only one ethnic group in charge of the western corporate world. Chinese get a lot of benefits, but they’re not at the helm, I saw only two chinese dudes among those 52 execs.

By now, everyone is probably sick to death of that O’Brien quote from 1984, so I won’t cut and paste it here. But… he’s right for all that. It really does seem to be hubris, plain and simple. Just this morning I had a big fight with my Internet provider. My signal is terrible, it has been terrible, it has no prospect of getting better. Their customer service — when I finally got through all the robots — basically told me to go f*ck myself, they’ll get around to sending a technician when and if they feel like it, and whaddaya gonna do, peon? (Note that this was an obviously White customer service rep, so it wasn’t Sasquatcheeta freelancing some slavery reparations).
The fact that I’m doing this via cellular was lost on them. The fact that people don’t NEED social media, or Walmart’s cheap Chinese crap, or sportsball, or what have you, is completely lost on them. They know, in some vague theoretical way, but they just don’t care, because f*ck you, that’s why. The point of torture is torture.
18
It’s weird right?
We grew up with the paradigm that the customers always right and companies at least paid lip service to that. With the unstated premise that companies wanted to increase their sales – they’d chase the next transaction to ridiculous ends.
But now, it’s like that don’t give a shit if people leave. They’re gonna do what the want and if the customers don’t like it and go away, we’ll who cares.
I think it’s at least partially a consequence of the change in business over the last several decades. It used to be that businesses made money by selling something and keeping some fraction of the transaction. But now, it’s all about manipulating stock price. Companies like FB and Twitter have capitalizations of hundreds of billions of dollars despite having minimal or no actual income. And absolute ponzu bullshit like Bitcoin makes people rich overnight. It’s all about chasing and capturing some QE instead of sales.
6
In the case of the ISP, at least, de facto monopoly has something to do with it. They’re the landline company in my area. The “competition” is satellite… which, thanks to things like trees and buildings and whatnot, is only available in certain areas — if you’re not on the edge of town surrounded by fields, forget it. Actually cutting the cord would entail some actual “hardship” (if going without any electronic gizmo is a “hardship”), but it’s to that point. It’s like Winston Churchill said: This situation absolutely requires a really stupid, futile gesture be done on someone’s part.
As for the rest of them, I actually used to use Faceborg as an example of “basic economics” (and why it’s wrong) when teaching the Industrial Revolution. No one could guess anything other than “selling your personal information” as Zuckerborg’s actual product. “But every company on earth already has your information,” I’d point out. “You give it out hundreds of times a month. What, you think it’s a coincidence that every time you buy something at the campus bookstore, you get fifteen robocalls and pieces of junk mail offering to fix your credit and lower your student loan rate?”
Finally, if I’d done my job and explained properly what “stocks” were (back in the day), they’d conclude that Faceberg’s one and only business model was “manipulating Faceberg’s stock price.” I doubt the lesson stuck much past the midterm exam, but here’s hoping…

In thinking of ways to fight this we have to make it painful for our political leaders. How to do that? Well obviously they don’t seem to be bothered opposing their own people right now even on an issue that destroys their own peoples children and civilization.
The only thing I can think of this morning is shunning. If they had a sense of shame for what they are doing and their own families are ashamed of them instead of living like nobles off their relatives political career.
That is where organizations that might have value to the political leaders could come to play. If that organization whether a local Lions club or lodge or church that they care about would shun them publicly this could work.
Churches used to do that.
But now they are too busy having rock concerts and taking up contributions to convert Africans.
5
Whatever has gripped them, is immune to actual public opinion and self interest.
It’s some weird pseudo religious movement, that like early Christianity, that causes the suffering of the faithful to increase the depth of their belief.

Maybe America has been conquered by some foreign power, which is now enforcing its ideology onto America.
I don’t think that’s actually happened. It’s a crazy idea.
But the really crazy thing is that is a more rational explanation, that fits the fact pattern, than any other. Especially as Z noted that no one pushing this shit has an obvious reason for doing so.

“Maybe America has been conquered by some foreign power, which is now enforcing its ideology onto America.”
I can think of a certain foreign power with a special wall at which US presidential candidates pray while wearing a small hat.

If the people — who thru organized patient action got control of the boards of the huge pension funds of the teachers’ and municipal employees’ unions — said as shareholders in Coca Cola or American Airlines or Delta that management should to do X, what do you think the CEOs would do?
The Left organizes and complains while the other shareholders are silent and the customer base is unorganized for action.
What do they say about the Squeaky Wheel?
It’s very much like the governors’ relation to their donors and their base. One is organized and quietly exerts its influence; the other bitches on talk radio and waits to be distracted by the next outrage.

The old Invasion of the Body Snatchers film (1950s version) was a metaphor for the international Communist conspiracy. Now the movie is quaintly corny, but back in the day I’m sure it had the John Birch Society types pretty worked up.
I know you’re right; we have been conquered by Something. It gets to determine what words mean, and has normally rational people affirming that 2 + 2 = 5. Whatever it takes to make it till retirement, and to keep that 401k percolating, people will do it.
I don’t know where to draw the line, personally. I want to refuse the vaccine, and have not received it thus far. But what if, one year from now, they determine that only a few outliers are harmed by the vaxx and my boss says I have to take it in order to keep getting paid. I have two kids depending on me.
What will I do then? Will I Live Not By Lies, as Solzhenitsyn challenged us to do, or will I cynically capitulate and collapse like a wet paper bag? Will I be absorbed into the Borg also? I’m tired of wondering about all this. Lord forgive me, but I wish people would just start shooting already and we could find another way to solve problems besides talking about stuff. Besides posting rambling comments on blogs and such.

The 1978 version of Body Snatchers is the one to watch now.

“When you see the dopamine-dispensing treats of technocapital you might think you see a world of freedom and choices, but this is merely the IV drip of product to keep you medicated to the will of others. Ask yourself, what autonomy do you truly have to be outside of this system? None. You are living in a false reality. Remember, like anything else, liberalism seeks to dominate and being the flexible nothingness it must then dominate everything.

Perhaps the Free Market like our Constitutional Republic was intended for a “moral and religious people. it is wholly inadequate for any other.” as John Adams wrote, and after 100 years of communist/fascist propaganda in our schools the people are now immoral and anti-religious.
The Constitution has been shredded by the left and the so-called right allowed it. Without a Constitution we have no Republic. And now they pass laws to institutionalize voter fraud, anti-White racism and insane sexual proclivities. Lock and load or get on your knees. I can see no third alternative.

Well, I agree with your overall point but this is one of those cases where knowing something very specific that the writer does not seem to know makes a huge difference so I feel compelled to mention it:
It’s not just “corporations”. The Trans Agenda is being driven by JB Pritzker and his trans brother/sister. JB Pritzker is the governor of Illinois and one of the wealthiest people in the world. Google his sister and read a little bit about her. They are extremely influential in politics. You might even say he orchestrated Barack Obama’s rise to power, or at least helped it and sped it up tremendously.
The reason that particular governor is essential to know about in this context is: why else do you think these other governors are all folding and capitulating besides the fact that he has direct access to them and can bring to bear a huge arsenal of tools to make their lives hell if they do not go along with what he wants.
Everyone is wondering why a profit motivated corporation would be behind such things.
The tribal agenda at play is more important that the survival of any individual corp. The tribe is interested it wielding the power the corp has in service of their centuries long agenda.
Secondly there is no consequence, do you all remember the Gillette ads a while back, any consequence come of that?
The Transgender Industrial Complex is a good book, available from Antelope Hill Publishing.
2
“there is no consequence, do you all remember the Gillette ads a while back, any consequence come of that?”
Yeah the “get woke, go broke” meme seems to be little more than a coping mechanism. Most companies are woke, and never seem to be anywhere near broke. I guess we should always do what little we can as individuals, but we still have to be realistic– small boycotts just aren’t very effective.
9
Reynard: I wholeheartedly agree that small boycotts are ineffective, but I feel equally strongly that individual boycotts are vitally important. No, your individual purchasing decisions will make no difference to various corporations. Even if all White nationalists joined you, the numbers are insufficient to make a difference.
However, I believe each individual White nationalist ought to attempt, as much as possible, to make those decisions for his individual family. It’s not easy, and many times irrelevant (both Coke and Pepsi are anti-White). But if possible, buy from the less woke company. Whenever possible, buy local or no-name brands. If there is an item made by an older and established American company (not merely an American front whose workforce is entirely Mestizo), pay a bit extra. Otherwise buy older and used goods. I bought a number of pieces of furniture last year from local consignment stores – solid wood made by now out-of-business American companies.
Everyone here has his individual bugaboo – yes, I know soda is not ‘good’ for me. Yes, I realize Jeff Bezos hates me, but so does the local big box store or grocery store, and if I can avoid going out among the diversity I will do so. I’m just saying that people here should try to be aware of what they buy and where it’s made and who’s advertising it. Again, there are often no good choices, just some slightly less bad ones, but merely being aware of the politics behind one’s purchases is an important first step. Prime example, I cannot believe how many women still buy Chobani yoghurt (darling of the Clintons and Obamas, infester of Idaho, promoter of Mohammedism and non- White immigrants into the heartland).
Even baby steps can add up, and we can expand them to all aspects of our lives.
So the idea in economics was that you need to have high-powered incentives to make executives focus on corporate profits instead of focusing on whatever makes them personally happy. Turns out our economic system allows the massive fortunes created by giant profits to be used for whatever wicked plans these souls bastards have.
Dostoevsky had these guys figured out. We should have listened.

That IS a good question: what’s in it for them?
Seeing as how trannies comprise a minuscule fraction of the voting population, and most Americans recognize them for the mentally-ill gender-dysphoric sadsacks that they are: why would any politician, or corporation, go out on a limb, and risk alienating voters, in order to support them?
And related to that: why has the media fallen in line? Why did they suddenly decide to engage in their campaign to normalize ‘transgenders’? What’s in it for them? Who or what groups are behind the scenes, pressuring them to take this stance?
You can see why they would find pandering to Blacks worth the effort: there are a sizable number of votes there. But gays? Transgenders?
And it’s easy to see why, once an issue like that becomes popular, becomes the latest cause celebre, which ‘all right-thinking people support’, politicians and media celebrities would fall into line.
They’re in the catbird seat, living the good life: they’re getting paid very well for doing little more than opinionating. And once they’re there, their egos quickly start loving the status and prestige of being the center of attention, the person at the party everyone wants to talk to, whose opinion everyone wants to hear. It’s easy to see how that would quickly become addictive: if suddenly becoming an advocate for ‘transgender rights’ is the cost of staying in the spotlight, “Hey, I’m there….”
It appears to be similar to what happened with ‘gay rights’ and ‘gay marriage’. IIRC, 30-something States had had referendums on gay marriage; every one of which were defeated. Then, on the second or third go-round, voters in Maine narrowly approved it. But it was still clearly something that the majority of Americans were not in favor of.
But then the Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage was a Constitutionally protected right…. and the mainstream media began engaging in an ongoing campaign to normalize it: to convince Americans that everybody else was for it…. and if you’re not, you’re a bad person, a ‘homophobic bigot’. (It’s only recently that homophobia has become a bad thing, not that long ago it described how most normal people felt about two men having sex.)
Again, you wonder: Why? With gays only compromising 3-5% of the population: why go to all that trouble? What’s the benefit?
And trannies are a much smaller group…. How does it benefit politicians or their donor backers or corporations to hop on that bandwagon?
Is it part of an effort to make Americans pliable in their opinions?
To get Americans used to casting off tradition, and embracing whatever new belief the elite is pushing? So that whatever the elites want them to think, they’ll rush to comply?
Could it be that the content— gay marriage, transgender rights— is not as important as the *process*: of training the public to go along willingly with the latest trend in belief?

They want to normalize the idea that small children are sexual beings who have feelings and desires and autonomy over their bodies.
Once this is thoroughly normalized, the next big fight will be for the “sexual rights of children” and their alleged right to sexual autonomy. They want to do away with age of consent laws. If the child “consents,” then a 40yo buggering an 8yo is no longer a crime.
Even clownworld has limits. Age of consent laws cannot be targeted by pedos so directly. Peoples’ desires to protect their children is too strong for this line of attack. But framing this as a right of a child to autonomy and control of their own bodies is likely to find sympathy in a way pedos just never could despite all those “virtuous pedos” out there being featured in mainstream publications. This is why stories about 18 or 19yo getting arrested for having sex with their 17yo GF/BF are so popular and also why teens getting arrested for distributing child porn for “sexting” inappropriate pictures of themselves are so popular in the press. We should do away with child porn laws and age of consent laws because we don’t want to be arresting kids doing dumb stuff, now do we?
6
tarstarkas: You’re directly over the target. I read a book at least 5 -10 years ago (cannot recall title – think I got in through interlibrary loan) about homosexuals infiltrating the Catholic church (I’m not Catholic). There was a long, well researched section on the media campaign to ‘normalize’ homosexuality and homosexual marriage. The people behind it, the money, the careful step-by-step campaign. It was mapped out and took a number of years, but because it was done subtly and gradually, most didn’t really take notice of it until it was all but won.
That same campaign, but in a much more compressed timeline, has been utilized for trannies and is being introduced for pedophilia. The constant and positive media articles about ‘throuples’ or photos of F-M trannies with beards and pregnant bellies are all part of the campaign. There is more public resistance, but it’s ongoing – just look at all the mothers joyfully bringing their children to trannie story hour. Check out the themes in children’s books published since 2017 or 2018.
There is literally no sexual degeneracy or deviancy that is off the table. There have always been broken, twisted, sinful people, but I strongly believe a brief historical review demonstrates a pattern of those who push this cause. What kind of human being would be prompted, on his own, to consider sexual mutilation a normal field to pursue? What motivated Magnus Hirschfeld? What motivated Freud?

As I recall Asa was a long time Bush crony. I haven’t heard his name since that failure left office. Walmart has such a huge presence in that state it has to be them. Maybe some Walton has an effeminate 10 year old son who happens to be exploring alternative lifestyles. Or possibly as he eluded to during the interview, he got marching orders from the national party which is trying to woo the rainbow mafia any way they can, as they see evangelical christianity on the downswing.
2
One of the more logical explanations is that the GOP insiders, many of whom are homosexual (especially post Trump, he and his idiot daughter chased the rainbow harder than anything I’ve seen) strongly believe that this will not be in issue in 10 years. They believe that a decade from now every GOP politician will have to explain why they stood in the way of “trans rights.” They still think they have a future, if they can only tweak the electorate just enough. All the world is just a VALS marketing survey to them. There’s no underlying morality, just lifestyle choices, even among kids.
7
JR Wirth: “They believe that a decade from now every GOP politician will have to explain why they stood in the way of “trans rights.” They still think they have a future, if they can only tweak the electorate just enough.”
Example A: See Guest’s comment above, i.e. “Republicans have to fight and win in the culture wars if they want our votes.” So does the proper moral posturing (particularly where there is no risk to the politician) demonstrate “fighting”? What constitutes winning the ‘culture wars’? Will you constantly monitor all of said politician’s employees, see who is hired and let go and for what purported offense? Does ‘Guest’ truly believe that mere politics can ‘win’ culture wars? How has that worked out so far?
2
The culture war was lost in the 70’s. Literally lost. Even the founding of the “Moral Majority” (an oxymoronic name) was far too late. It’s been a mop up operation ever since. And we’re so far down that road that they don’t even try anymore. Not even a governor of a southern state. We can learn from the Mennonites and Amish to just abandon the whole structure (without abandoning technology). We’ve reached a point where no loving parent should want their child to go to college (in the traditional sense) etc. The whole place will hit the wall anyway when we have our debt crisis in a few years. The parasites are killing the host.
No one is more respectful of “others’ beliefs” than the devil.

All social change in the US is contingent on the participation of the legal community. When enough money is produced attorneys will be happy to support federal brain implants. Another group of ambulance chasers will take the other side. Everything that goes on in the US involves the secular Levites that emerge from law schools. They are the priesthood of “democracy”. They construct the laws that govern others’ lives, interpret their use and administer the punishment for their violation. Without them, and the system they control, American society would, of course, change over time but not in the bizarre form and astonishing rate we see today.

Attorney here.
Noem should have signed the bill and let the chips fall where they may, as the bill was an expression of the legitimate political will of the people of South Dakota. Having said that, she was not wrong about the legal implications of including college sports. The NCAA would have sued South Dakota in a left-leaning circuit, likely DC or NY, the courts would almost certainly grant jurisdiction in that circuit, and we all know how those courts would rule. She’ll finish her term in office, but I suspect her political career is over, and deservedly so. Good riddance.
There’s no excuse for Hutchinson’s actions. He should be subject to an immediate recall campaign. He has to go. Now.
Moving forward, one of the most useful things the dissident right can do is to make it clear that we will no longer vote for the Rockefeller Republican candidates offered up by the Chamber of Commerce. We don’t have the numbers to win elections, but we can certainly sit on the sidelines and let Democrats win elections they otherwise would lose. That’s influence.
Politics is downstream of culture. Refusing to engage in the culture wars, as Hutchson did, is simply throwing away the future of the party and the country. Republicans have to fight and win in the culture wars if they want our votes.

We’re wondering why people with all the money, luxury goods, and free time in the world are trying to get more by doing this. I think we’re looking at it bassackwards. They don’t want more money, fame, etc. They want meaning. For them, the gold has lost its luster; the salt has lost its taste. They’ve indulged in every kind of personal excess and decadence, but they still feel hollow inside. The only thing that fills the void is meaning. They want to be remembered by posterity, like Renaissance princes. The problem is, they don’t know this about themselves, and anyway they don’t HAVE “posterity” of their own. Thus the only thing that gives their life meaning is “social change.” It doesn’t matter what the change is, so long as it lets them feel good about themselves for promoting it.

Corporate motivations for embracing the destruction of white civilization are everything. Absent isolating those motivations, we must have some doubt about whether corporations really are the motive force behind the destruction. However, I think Z is largely correct here–corporations are largely to blame for the destruction of white civilization, but the motivation is really not far to seek. Essentially, the AWRs have taken over and coopted capitalism, just as they did mainstream Christianity. Whereas Leftists prior to the 60s spent most of their time railing against capitalism, now they simply use it as a weapon against white civilization. Corporate America, in other words, is nothing less than the moneyed wing of academia. And the motivations for both are the same–anti-white racism.

It’s the Left’s jihad as it were

I share the same temptation to know who or what is responsible for the position in which we find ourselves. If we knew our enemy and how they are winning the war so to speak, it would be much easier to combat. But it seems its never that simple. In the old “flocks of bird and schools of fish” debate, I find myself depressingly on the that’s just what fish and birds do..its in their nature. This side of the aisle considers nature a foundational belief, why not here as well? Im not a religious guy, but fallen state and all that maybe?

It’s pretty obvious to me what is behind this: Ephesians 6 : 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
7
100% agree. Even if you’re not a believer, it’s easy to see there is obvious evil as the author of this madness.
Now I’m remembering the old movie thing where the good guys only need to fight their way to the NY or LA Times and get their story told. That will destroy the evil corporations and out-of-control government agencies and everyone will live happily ever after. “Firestarter” comes to mind but there are many others with this theme. That seems so quaint and outdated it’s funny.

In 1975, the movie Three Days of the Condor let Americans know the reality of how the system really works for whistleblowers.

Like our esteemed host, I have no clue why this is the hill these two GOP governors would decide to make their stand. In the case of Hutchinson, any governor worth his salt can whip the votes in the statehouse to find out if their veto will stand and whether doing so will erode their political capital. My point is he knew the vote situation and vetoed this bill anyway, which makes no political sense. My feel is that Walmart weighed heavily against this. Walmart runs the entire NW corner of the so-called Natural State.
I’m familiar with Arky since we used to have go up to Little Rock every year to play UALR in bouncy ball. My favorite place up there to heal basketball injuries in the offseason is Hot Springs. A bath in those mineral spring waters does miracles for old knees and other joints abused by a lifetime in sports. Also the town has great restaurants and hospitality since it’s a tourist town in the lovely Ouachita Mountains. My wife and I go up there every few years to soak in the baths and get some relief from our aches and pains of middle age.
As for Noem, she’s a pretty face lacking in substance. Why not make a not-so-courageous stand that throws red meat to the people who voted you into office? It’s a no-brainer unless you are a slave to corporate interests, which is what I think happened to her and Hutchinson.
I just don’t understand why the corporations are all-in with trannies. These people are mentally ill and need sympathy and treatment, not coddled and mutilated.
I can understand the corporations’ stand on “racism” and POC, since they’re smart enough to see the demographic decline they’ve helped foster with their string pulling of politicians. They also want to import cheaper workers and more stupid customers who’ll believe any sales pitch they can send at them.
Ever notice how Nissan builds all of their cars to a very cheap price point? Ever notice who mainly drives them? Nissan was once known for enthusiast cars like the 240Z, 300Z, Sentra SE-R and unkillable small trucks (the so-called Hardbody). Now it’s a budget automaker whose quality has declined below those of the Korean marques.
The old saying “a sucker is born every minute” is true with POC clientele. Just look at the Beats headphones done by Dr. Dre. Those headphones are absolute rubbish, but the POC crowd pay overinflated prices to own these status symbols that give them ” street cred.”
We really have no representation in Congress, but it’s even scarier to think the same mentality has slunk down to the state level as well.
5
There’s probably a simple explanation: not only does Hutchinson harbor no personal animus toward sexual deviants, google has his browser history to prove it.
“…the way in which politics and the media are presented in movies and television is a masterful bit of propaganda. On the one hand, it fully acknowledges the corruption of all democratic politics. The people in the system are always bad people. On the other hand, the bad guys always lose to the good guys, the voters, so it is proof that the system works. In other words, political corruption is turned into proof that the system works.”
Funny. This reminds me of an early episode of The Simpsons. All of this stuff nicely condensed in just a couple of minutes. “I can’t believe it! The system works!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUJYXaS7J-Q
I’m shocked ZMan you don’t see it. Having listened to your take on Liberty Valence, I’d disagree — we treat our women better than ever by giving them what they want. And they are happier than ever. And who benefits from mutilating children for trannies and tranny stuff?
Young, nubile, childless White women.
The reason corporations are full square on eliminating Whiteness, trannies, and the like is young, nubile, childless White women. Who are either sleeping with the boss, or the boss wants to sleep with, or has ambitions to placate instinctively.
Young White women HATE HATE HATE Whiteness, the White men around them, the nuclear family, pretty much everything save Social Media likes from trash celebrities and awful trends and fads. Unlike pet rocks and mood rings, these fads though are permanent. Trannies are in your face to the nuclear family, a John Waters movie that never ends, and thus catnip to young White women. They have power, transitory for them, but collectively a mighty one able to bend every straight man to their will.
You can see the utopia for White women just over the horizon. Peeking out in every commercial. Gone is even the cool black husband, now its the black kids by the absent black sperm donor husband. The triumph not of the will but African model of families. Gillian Tett of the FT has taken to boasting of her two black daughters by absent black father, and you don’t get more elite than the Editor of the FT. Heck most of the columnists there now are youngish White women. The rest various subcontinental women or men.
And the dirty little secret is corporations don’t care about making money. They are too big to fail. GM was in free-fall for thirty years. They didn’t care. Too big to fail = endless government bailouts. Wal-Mart is the same way, they can run operating losses for 100 years and no worries, the Fed is printing free money for them (but not you). So the virtue signaling with trannies, and anti-White stuff in Georgia, is cost free. MLB does not care if no one goes to the games or watches. They still get paid by sponsors who don’t care if no one buys their stuff as endless illegals pouring over the border with free Fed money certainly will.
The good news is that voting reform is a matter of life or death for Republicans. They cooperated in the fraud to get rid of Trump, but the Biden proposals mean no Republican anywhere gets elected, and they all have to actually work for a living. No easy board memberships if its a one party state — those all go to Democrats. That’s why Georgia and Texas Republicans pushed back. Their retirement plan hinges on Republicans actually holding office and mattering. Not being an extinct party of no interest to corporate members. Indeed some can go far by making war on Woke Capital. Taxing them, regulating them, unionizing them, breaking them up, suing them.
Woke Capital has a lot of money. They are a tempting target. Like the Knights Templar.

I don’t know where you see all these young white women who hate white men. They seem just as confused about the Globohomo anti white stuff. Even corporate power women still end up marrying a (white) guy and having one or two kids. Churches have plenty of white women with families.
Have you dated in the past 15 years? White women still want kids. They just want to “have fun” first and have them at the “right time”. Which is stupid and naive, but it’s not the same as actively hating white society.
Yeah, you see some white women dating black, asian, indian men. This is just a product of many groups living side by side. For every white woman with a POC man, I can point out two white men with a POC woman (especially asian). I think if white men stopped taking the easy way out, we would have more white kids and less mutt kids.
The whole Tucker segment looked scripted. Very strange. And the gov insistence that its for limited goverment in the spirit of Reagan was creepy. Tucker then had blacks and gays after that.
