Way back in the old days, politicians in trouble with their voters would often be described as “tone deaf” by their less harsh critics. They were in trouble because they no longer had the ability to hear how they sounded to their voters. They would say things that were maybe acceptable behind closed doors in Washington but should never be said in public. Maybe they were prone to saying true things that were best left unsaid or that confirmed things people suspected about the guy.

That is not an expression you hear these days. No one care about how one sounds to the Dirt People, as that no longer matters. What really matters is how you sound to the Cloud People, a lesson Donald Trump learned. The media no longer talks about this either, as they are just as self-absorbed as the rest of them. The result is our politics is now constructed behind soundproof glass. On one side are the politics actors, performing their routines to piped-in cheers from the crowd.

On the other side of the glass is the rest of us, watching an increasingly bizarre political theater performed by increasingly grotesque actors. One performance this week was the arrest of Douglass Mackey, the pro-Trump on-line personality who played the role of Ricky Vaughn on Twitter back in 2016. He was arrested and charged with the crime of disrespecting the regime. The weirdos on the other side of the glass now think it is a good idea to arrest people who hurt their feelings.

The other show was the collusion between the Biden White House and some hedge fund pirates to prevent retail investors from making money at their expense. Instead of letting a few of these guys sink to teach the rest a lesson, the regime swept in and forced the trading platforms to manipulate the market so the bog players could get out from under their bad bets. We literally saw the head of NASDAQ say that they had to manipulate the market so big players could be protected.

This is what the old guys used to call tone deaf. Of course, in our new woke society, “tone deaf” is probably the name of the new Secretary of Housing. Putting that aside, for no reason other than spite the regime convinced millions of people that they no longer have first amendment rights, and the financial markets are every bit as crooked as their elections. They are doing this at the same time they are babbling about the need for unity after they rigged the last election.

It really is an amazing time to be alive. Most people reading this are over forty, so you remember when it was radicals on the college campus claiming that America was a lie and that a cabal of sinister players really ran the country. The people saying this never ventured off the college campus and were happy to live off the system, but they were sure the system was a lie. Now, those people are in charge and not only were they right about the system being a lie, it is normal people saying it now.

Note: You may have observed some site outages over the last week or so and rest assured we have top men on the case. It seems that traffic volumes have reached a critical point, so some upgrades are in order.

Last week, in his weekly broadcast, the great John Derbyshire mentioned some of the looming threats to our peace and prosperity. I have been thinking about some of the same things and decided this week to take a swing at the topic as well. At the start of every year, I sit down and write out some goals and evaluate my finances, in order to have some structure for my activities. Like everyone, my plans are ambitious, but each new year brings hope, despite by dwindling years.

As a result, I am in the frame of mind to think about the monsters that may be lying in wait or the trillion-dollar bills that may lying on the ground, waiting for someone to come along and pick it up. With all the hubbub about the election and the response to it by our increasingly reactionary rulers, it is hard to think much about anything else. Still, you have to look ahead and what I see is not a pretty picture. This coming year could very well make 2020 look like the good old days.

To be perfectly honest, I am not sure it is such a bad thing that the collection of time-serving hacks and criminals that is the Biden administration will be charged with managing our way through the minefield of 2021. Much of what lies ahead is the creation of the ruling class. Maybe they can more easily undo what they have wrought than a Trump team facing constant opposition.  At the minimum, The Pretender can call off the BLM and Antifa mobs that have been running wild.

If they are unable to navigate their way through the minefield they created, then it clarifies things for us. The thing none of them seem to grasp at the moment is they own it all now. Prior to Trump they could play the good cop – worse cop routine with the GOP presenting themselves to us as the least bad option. The Democrats, of course, did the same to their coalition. Right now, that option is not available to them, as both parties have stopped pretending to be opponents.

Of course, when looking ahead you cannot see around corners or see the knock-on effects that will come from whatever they do to fix what they broke. Wise heads have been pointing out for a year, for example, that the economy is a very complicated system that no one really understands in full, much less detail. Smashing it with the Covid hammer will create lots of unknown unknowns. The same is true for immigration and trade, which they will smash this coming year.

If you read the writing of the new managerial regime, they like to talk about disrupting things and overturning stuff. They seem to have an unthinking belief that salvation can only come through chaos. One way of achieving this is the subversion of truth and order, so that perspective is all that matters. We are probably going to see what that looks like when applied to a society through public policy. We may be about to experience the first instance of recursive subversion.

Whenever I go on a livestream or do the letters show, I get e-mail from people saying that the podcast should be more conversational. Instead of reading and commenting upon articles, it should be more freewheeling. These are probably a matter of taste, but there is some logic to the suggestion. Listening to someone on a show or podcast is like being in a conversation with them. The good interviewers are the voice of the audience, asking the questions the listener would ask the guest.

As an experiment this year, I thought I would do a show a month where I pick a few topics from the moment and say whatever comes to mind. No prep. No notes. No set up using a news article. All I did this week is take three topics that came up in my daily life and riff on them for the show. There is no editing, other than to remove weird noises that come up when you record from home. People may have noted the sirens from time to time in the background of shows. Welcome to Lagos.

The one topic of the three that I could probably talked about for hours is just how our rulers expect society to function under this new regime. One thing I did not mention is the fact that somehow things have not fallen apart already. It is going on a year now with the lock downs and riots. They say half of all restaurants are gone for good and the small retail sector is wiped out. The airlines are at 50% capacity and hotels are below that in terms of occupancy. How is the economy still standing?

Now that The Pretender is about to be installed, I am assuming the Democrats will start demanding everything open back up. They are that shameless. Still, they spent a year convincing their drones that Covid is the black death. Lots of people are now deeply invested in being afraid. Turning the economy back on will not come easy. That and the damage is mostly done at this point. If you are a business that survived this, then you can keep surviving. It will take years for the lost to recover.

The Pretender’s script writers say he will ask for a trillion dollar relief bill, but given the mess that is Congress, that will not happen easily. Mitch McConnell is a massive d-bag to everyone, not just his voters. He will use every trick he can to hamstring it. The Dems are a fractured party right now and we’ll see that clearly over this bill. Even if they pass it, you can run a country this way. Throw in their efforts to criminalize dissent and our rulers look like they are carelessly smoking on a powder keg.

Popular revolts in occidental countries tend to build slowly and then have a series of tremors before there is some clarifying event. The reason for this is people unhappy with their conditions tend to look for simple answers first and then apply themselves to getting relief from the system within the rules. They identify the problem or what they think is the problem and then go to the people in charge with it. In modern liberal democracy it means engaging in the political process.

Then either by serendipity or a confluence of events driven by various actors, there is an event that causes the scales to fall from the eyes of the people. In isolation, the attack on the Bastille was a non-event, but in the context of the historical moment, it was revelatory. The 1980 strike at Gdańsk Shipyard in Poland is a more modern example of a small event ushering in a paradigm shift. People thought one way before the event and they thought a different way after it.

Events this week will prove to be one of those times where people quickly went from one view of their world to another. There have been many left-wing and wingless protests in Washington. Just a few years ago the Left filled the Capitol with protestors over the Kavanaugh nomination. Those come and go and they are forgotten because they have no connection to larger trends under the surface. It is just part of the way the inner party torments the outer party in Washington.

The storming of the Capitol opened a lot of eyes. The people in the media demanding mass executions of Trump supporters were just six months ago gloating over left-wing mobs burning cities. Six months ago, official Washington was telling us the cops were a problem and now they are demanding they open fire on protestors. When a black criminal died in police custody, they demanded vengeance. When a white veteran is murdered by a cop on video, they think it great fun.

This week has been clarifying, because it has confirmed what people have been slowly realizing at a subconscious level. The manufactured outrage of George Floyd would have passed unnoticed, if it had not been followed by the orchestrated campaign by corporate America to promote hostility to white people. If that had passed, then people may have forgotten about it, but that was quickly followed by the Covid lock downs and then the election fraud. The road to epiphany now seems clear.

Many on this side of the great divide have predicted we would end up at this point eventually, but no one has every relished it. The events of this week were not just an epiphany for the MAGA-hat wearing normies. It has been an eye-opener for many on this side, as well. Unless you have something wrong with you, you held out some small hope that the prediction would turn out to be wrong. That hope is gone now and with it comes a bit of sadness over the finality of it.

There’s nothing wrong with that. In a way, it is like the passing of an old relation who has been sick for a long time. Long ago you reconciled yourself to the inevitable and in your own way said your goodbyes. The waiting, however, becomes part of your normal so when the time comes there is a hole. Into it flows the remaining sadness at the finality of it all. That’s where we are now. What comes next is getting on with the new tribal politics of the future, free of nostalgia and sentimentality.

We are running out of road for 2020 and it is fair to assume that most people will be happy to close the books on a very bad year. The thing is though, it is not unrealistic to think that maybe we will one day soon look back on 2020 with fondness. There are a lot of very dark clouds on the horizon. The collection of buffoons The Pretender is assembling promises more mayhem in 2021. He has avoided nominating a tranny, but otherwise it is a list of time serving party hacks.

No one discusses it, but there are some very bad things happening in the economy and with more Covid restrictions this winter, next year could be grim. The masters of the universe are forging ahead with their plans to build back better, but that mostly means the rest of us get poorer. Roughly half of small business is described as in crisis, meaning close to failure. Throw in the mandatory vaccines, the new tracking efforts and 2021 could turn out to be a lot worse than 2020.

There’s also the Trump factor. The man who went to Washington and broke a lot of things is now headed back to regular life to break a lot of things. It is unlikely that he stays quiet in retirement, which means he will be looking for an audience. All of those people who have been rallying against the election fraud will probably be his first target once he is out of office. Trump loved doing rallies, so we can expect the MAGA rally to be a feature of 2021, whether we like it or not.

It is also clear that The Pretender will be faced with a revolt from the Left, as the army of the woke is already making trouble. Ocasio-Cortez smells blood, looking at the collection of geezers leading her party. Our side jokes about them putting a pillow of Biden’s face after the inauguration, but the Left expects it to happen. They were promised a colored revolution and they are not getting it. Putting that genie back in the bottle may not be as easy as the Democrats assumed.

The point is that we are about to turn the page on the craziest year anyone can remember, but the next page could be even worse. It is sure to be different, now that Trump has been removed from office. The people in charge assume it will get back to normal, but that is not happening. Joe Biden may have no trouble forgetting 2020 and the Trump era, but the rest of us will not forget. It will inform our actions and that means it will cast a shadow over the next chapter of decline.

Note: Schooner Creek Farm is in a legal battle with the corrupt mayor of the City of Bloomington. The city has allowed (probably encouraged) Antifa street gangsters to harass these people in order to ruin their business. I met Sarah Dye last winter and she is very nice person. She and her family are just trying to live and mind their own business, but they have been set upon by well-funded gangsters. If you have a few bucks to spare, donate here or here. Thank you.

Human societies are like ocean going super tankers. They don’t turn quickly, and their movement seems glacial, but they have tremendous momentum. That’s how it is with change in attitudes. It is hard to notice, but then all of a sudden it just seems to happen and the force of it changes all sorts of other things. We’ve seen that this year. The Left and their ruling class backers had slowly decided they could no longer live with us as equals in society. This year that become stunningly clear.

Buchanan is right in that we are now a divided country that can never go back to looking anything like what passed for normal in the past. The managerial class has become class aware and they look at the rest of us as insects. The oligarchs completely support this view as it enables them to loot the middle class. Those normal hard working white people the alt-right types like to dump on are slowly coming to the realization that they are becoming despised minorities in America.

It will take a while, but change comes slow then quick. That has been the lesson this year in the managerial class rebellion. They hated us long before Trump, but as long as we posed no trouble for them they left us alone. After 2016 that attitude changed and finally we saw it spill into the streets and the voting system. Now the reaction and realization is happening on the receiving end of their fury. People who said 2016 was a Hail Mary by the dispossessed were more right than they knew.

Politics will have to change and white people will have to start using the tactics the unrepresented have used in the past. You see some hints of it with boycotts of woke companies pushing degeneracy. Those ad hoc efforts will need to be normalized and formalized going forward. Boycotting the GOP, for example, will be the last peaceful tactic available in the political system. If voting only results in more of the same, then the only logical choice is to stop voting.

That’s the topic for the show this week. It is one of those things that must become a topic of conversation among normal people. Changing attitudes takes time and the first step is to normalize the new idea as something that can be discussed. That’s the first step with boycotting as a political tool. Whitey is tuned to think voting is the only choice, so he will need to be re-tuned to think of other options. That happens with reasonable discussion in everyday life where people talk politics.

When you tour around crazy land, one thing that jumps out is that these people are in denial about what has been happening. The stories about the election corruption, the few you will find on these sites, are just excuses to launch into paranoid theories about their old nemesis, Donald Trump. Otherwise they are slobbering over the corrupt stooge who will soon be installed in the White House. One gets the sense that the establishment is a little worried about what they have done.

The Republicans appear to be in a panic. Like their masters on the Left, they just assumed everyone hated Trump as much as they hated him. They were looking forward to a Trump loss, but holding the Senate by a seat or two. This would allow them to keep working the old grift on normal people. “You better support us or the bogeyman will come and make you socialism!’ You can tell they had this old scam all polished and ready to go for another round of grift whitey.

Things have gone sideways for them. There is a full-on revolt against the GOP by their voters, which could cost them the senate. Compounding matters is you have odious carbuncles like Mitt Romney carrying on like leftists. No decent person should support a party that tolerates a duplicitous traitor like Romney. Then the senate GOP stabbed their voters in the face by giving away half a million green cards to India. A thank you for Kamala Harris, probably.

America is about to descend into one-party rule like you see in all third world countries, which is what happens when you import the people of the third world. California is more like Mexico now than historic America. This is fine in a state, as people can just move to another state. When that happens in a country, people cannot just pickup and move, so things get a bit more complicated. Our rulers are realizing that the old Punch and Judy act is not going to work in New America.

Conservative Inc., always behind the times, because they are always focused on following the Left around, did the old coordinated hit piece on Lin Wood. They first had a flunky post a story on Breitbart, then the more “sober minded” poohbahs of the racket piled on with their own hit pieces. It is the old game of one guy lies and the rest swear to it that they used on Pat Buchanan a million years ago. Back then they accused him of being an anti-Semite. This time they are using the D-word.

The amusing part of this is seeing the comment section of Breitbart erupt in revolt against the post. The old gags are not working now. The readers of National Review are all in nursing homes, so they are unable to respond. A mental barrier has collapsed and these people are suddenly instinctively suspicious of the people and outlets they used to trust to do their thinking for them. It would take a heart of stone not to enjoy the suffering of Conservative Inc and the GOP right now.

This week I have the usual variety of items in the now standard format. Spreaker has the full show. I am up on Google Play now, so the Android commies can take me along when out disrespecting the country. I am on iTunes, which means the Apple Nazis can listen to me on their Hitler phones. The anarchists can catch me on iHeart Radio. I am now on Deezer, for our European haters and Stitcher for the weirdos. YouTube also has the full podcast. Of course, there is a download link below.

Emergent behavior is one of those things that people struggle to grasp, because it seems to violate the expected cause and effect relationship. Most people operate on the assumption that whatever we are seeing is caused by something that can also be seen or at least described. Of course, most people like to think there is some human actor behind everything, operating from the normal human motivations. It is always tempting to reduce things to the personal as it is relatable.

There are lots of examples in nature of emergent behavior. Cross-breeding of plants can result in a characteristic that does not exist in the two plants that have been crossbred by a curious gardener. Domestic animal breeders, from time to time, will bump into this. The Ocicat is a great example crossbreeding two animals and getting a result that has qualities not present in the parents. Insects colonies are a great example of emergent behavior.

Something similar can happen with human behavior. Put the right group of people in the right situation and you get behavior that seems to spring from nowhere. Some historians have argued this is what happened in Germany in the period after the Great War when the Nazi rose to power. The panic over witches and witchcraft in early New England is another cited example. All of a sudden, people began to act in ways that were not typical of their past behavior.

This is, in part, what we are experiencing today. The people in charge have unleashed forces they do not understand for short term gain. The massive wave of irregularities in the election are one result. The bizarre, superstitious behavior of the Covidians is another manifestation. These people have been swept up in a frenzy and have become untethered from the normal restraints. “Through any means necessary” has become a rallying cry for direct action against the imagined enemy.

In the business world, a regular topic of conversation is the cost-benefit analysis to solving business problems. It is easy to see that you don’t solve a fifty dollar problem with a million dollar solution, but most problems are not so simple. Figuring out the real cost of the problem is not so easy and then imagining the solution adds a whole new layer of complexity. One of the ironies of problem solving is figuring out the cause of the problem can cost more than the problem itself.

Watching the election shenanigans roll on, it seems that the ruling class may have created an expensive problem while trying to solve the Trump problem. The wholesale election fraud has created a very expensive problem for them. They cannot sit back and let Trump’s lawyers find examples of fraud or use those examples to overturn one of the disputed states, as that creates a big problem for them. Joe Biden becomes the Pretender Biden for most of the country.

On the other hand, the only way to prevent any of this is to double down on the shenanigans in all of these states. That means threatening judges, lawyers and election officials. It means more midnight capers to alter the rules and results. In other words, the way to prevent Trump from establishing his claims is to prove another set of claims. They will convince a large number of people that the whole system is rigged and controlled by thugs and crooks.

This is a managerial class feature. A group of experts identify a problem, real or imagined, then set about solving it. In the process, they create a whole new set of problems that require a new set of experts to solve. That new set of experts are conveniently the proteges of the first set of experts. This cycle has rolled through the culture since the middle of the last century. It now appears to be consuming the system that makes the managerial class possible.

It is remarkable, when you think back over the last five years. They could have easily co-opted Trump, by cutting some deals with him. He would have put the MAGA stamp of approval on things like DACA, higher immigration levels and big new administrative initiatives, in exchange for some trinkets like the wall project. Instead, they cut off their nose to spite their face. It is insane and suggests that maybe they are the victims of the same process that has consumed the Trump movement.

Sometimes it is good to take a pause from the action to reflect upon what has happened and how things have changed. Life is like being a bit of flotsam on a river, carried to some unknown destination. We all know that at some point we reach the big waterfall at the end, but the journey along the way is not so clear. Unlike the flotsam, we can create our own slow part of the river in order to rest and enjoy the view.

Ten years is not a long time in the life of a man. The older you get the more you appreciate this reality. Ten years ago, Barak Obama was the president and the ugly, brutish masses had just sent a message in the midterm election. The misty-eyed drunkard, John Boehner, was about to become Speaker of the House and the Tea Party movement was promising a bourgeois revolution from the top.

That seems like a lifetime ago. I doubt anyone would have predicted that we would be at this point, facing a world in which most of the country thinks our elections are rigged and we are headed for civil war. There were people way back then who thought we were headed for a civil war, but they thought it was a bad thing. Today, you get the sense that most people would welcome the final battle to settle things.

The French New Right theorist, Guillaume Fay, introduced the idea of an interregnum, an undefined period between the old age of the West and the new age. In this undefined and unsettled period, the West would lurch from crisis to crisis. The old order would rally to address the crisis, but not completely. Eventually, the natural order of man would prevail and a new order would emerge.

That is what we are facing now. It is clear that there is no return to the civic nationalist fantasy times of the 80’s and 90’s. Too much damage has been done to the institutions for such a return to be possible. That and the demographics would have to be fixed first and that’s not happening without a rebellion. There’s also the fact that people seem to be figuring this out and may no longer want to go back.

We live in the most interesting time any of us have seen. In the first phase of the cultural revolution in the middle of the last century, the institutions were strong enough to weather the assault. They were simply repurposed by the Left. In this phase, the institutions are too weak. Increasingly, the question on people’s minds will not be “how do we save them?”, but “how to we replace them?”
