Cats And Dogs

Anyone who has had a cat knows that the cat takes a certain pleasure in the acquisition of its food. Put food down for the dog and the dog eats the food. Put food down for the cat and it will saunter up to the dish and maybe sample a little, then take a break to watch the dish for a while, before returning for some more food. A bug gets loose in the house and the dog will just eat it, but the cat will torment the thing to death. One animal is all about the process, while the other is about the result.

This difference is something to keep in mind as America descends into the woke totalitarianism of our diversity loving masters. It is assumed that totalitarianism leads to labor camps and people disappearing in the night. Those are the examples we have from our history. The communists liked sending the uncooperative to work camps, while the fascist like shooting the inconvenient. In both cases, the point was to remove the problem and discourage others from being a problem.

Those old school totalitarians were dog people. Just as the dog is happy to eat when hungry, without thinking much about how the food was made available to him, the old totalitarians took an end justifies the means approach to exercising power. Problem people were like any other sort of problem. The point was to solve the problem, which in the case of people meant making them go away. No man, no problem. How the problem felt about what was happening was of no consideration.

Our new totalitarians turn all of this on its head. Like the cat and his food, or his prey in the case of an unfortunate insect, the end is not really the point. It is not about removing the obstacles to their project, in order to achieve some end. The dealing with the problem is the end. In the case of the poor unfortunate who has run afoul of the rulers, the point of the process is submitting the troublemaker to endless torment that has no purpose beyond the pleasure of the tormentor.

Take the doxing business as an example. The people who do this are not trying to make the victim go away, any more than the cat wants the wayward cricket to go away. To the contrary, they hope the victim will cry out in agony and make his misery into a long-drawn-out public performance. They revel in seeing the victim moan about how his PayPal was deleted or how he lost his job. For the army of the woke, the suffering of the victim and the fame for inflicting that suffering is what matters.

When the victim simply kills off his internet character, the doxers have a problem as they do not have that living trophy to show off on-line. They are forced to go onto their social media platforms and imagine how the victim is suffering. We are not far away from a time when Twitter or Facebook start creating scapegoat accounts for the anointed to attack as a part of their rituals.  Instead of relying on a real person to be the victim, they will conjure a fake one that plays the victim properly.

Of course, in every totalitarian society, the people eventually figure out the rules in order to avoid the boot. That was the point of the old totalitarian model. In the new totalitarian model, the rules will constantly change so it is nearly impossible to avoid the wrath of the official tormentors. After all, like the cat tormenting its prey, the new totalitarians care only for the process. Like an engine needs fuel, the new totalitarians need a constant supply of victims to torment.

An excellent example of this is the Covid madness. When it all started, the point was to slow the spread so the hospitals would not be too crowded. We had two weeks to flatten the curve, but after two weeks the rules changed. The rules keep changing as the rulers find new ways to torment us, causing people to go into the streets to protest the new torments, to the delight of the tormentors. Covid has revealed that the new totalitarians are little more than sadists.

What this means, of course, is that there will be not settling into a set of fixed rules as happened in communist societies. We do not know if this would have happened in certain fascist societies, but the experience of Franco’s Spain, Salazar’s Portugal and Pinochet’s Chile suggest the fascists would have settled into a conservative system of fixed rules. The new system, in contrast, will be perpetually disrupting this tendency in order to perpetuate the necessary disorderliness.

The question is whether any society can go on very long when the rules are constantly changing in order to give the Torquemada’s more victims. A bedrock requirement for any society is a set of rules to govern conduct. In order to have an organization of humans greater than the Dunbar number means having a code and a way to enforce that code in order to make the code a habit of mind. This is what we think of when we think of culture. The rules we live by because we just do.

We are already seeing problems with the Covid madness. The ever-changing rules are making life impossible for small business. In some areas, whole swaths of the economy have collapsed. Of course, the religious aspects to compliance are pitting people against one another. The new totalitarians are creating a Hobbesian world where it is a war of all against all, not for limited resources, but due to the deliberate cacophony of every changing rules that have no logic.

The good news, if there is any, is that totalitarianism has diminishing returns, as the cost of maintaining it eventually dwarfs the benefits. Initially it seems to work pretty well, but over time the costs become unsustainable. This new totalitarianism is especially front loaded, almost accelerationist. It is destroying every reason for people to remain loyal to the system. Instead of carrying on for several generations, the new totalitarianism will be lucky to make it past this decade.

The Old Totalitarianism was a product of masculine society. Shoot the dissident in the back of the head; throw the corpse in the ditch; cover it with a bulldozer. Next victim. The New Totalitarianism is a product of feminized society. As any guy who has ever gone through a bad divorce or break-up knows, it’s all about the drama: gaslighting, lying, manipulating, blame-shifting, projection, gossiping, rumor-spreading, faux victimization, calling the cops, restraining orders, “I’m afraid of him,” “He hit me,” and on and on and on. Endlessly. If “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” just look at the… Read more »

Couldn’t agree more. You can tell the health of a society based on the relationship between its men and women. Obviously we live in a mortally sick society. Until we return to traditional gender roles, and become more masculine, we are doomed.

It starts with each one of us and how we conduct ourselves and raise our families. Long term we need to return to a hierarchical system, and create honor based values and rules.

This is why it will never end until women are removed from power positions.
From a male point of view it looks like an insanity that will burn itself out eventually.
However, it is really just how most women think (for wont of a better term). For them it is not crazy at all.
We are just living in this mindset being externalized into the power structures. You see the same thing happen in every sphere women gain entry into.

Whether you like it or not, you have now become a modern day ronin, and you can and should fight back with righteous justification. One way (as here) is to spread the word of your personal experience and help others to avoid falling into the same trap. But there are others means as well. You would do well to convert your anger into as many alternative solution methods as you’re able. Cast off your victimhood and act.

We had one cat that was cornered by the three vicious dogs that our back neighbor routinely let roam her yard. They killed her, but apparently all three had to taken to the vet to be sewn up. Since they used to routinely terrorize kids in our neighborhood it afforded me the pleasure of letting the owner know that even under NY law (oddly farmer friendly) I was entitled to shoot them if ever found in my yard.

When restaurants open, the 25% will be ignored in most of the suburban / rural areas away from the capital. Even here in NJ, restaurants in the little towns around me operate at maybe 25% – of their standing or fire-code capacity. Basically the tables have been moved slightly farther apart. And people wear a mask into the gym, then immediately remove it because who would exercise with a face cover?
It’s good because people are being conditioned to ignore the idiotic ruling class.

Small operators can get away with ignoring the rules until they want to make an example out of someone. Then they come in and crush you. Minnesota has been threatening to pull liquor licenses from rural bars and restaurants that opened in violation of their shutdowns.

As more and more businesses close around here, I see more and more of the Bezos fleet driving around.

Yes. Australia does have compulsory voting. But that doesn’t mean you have to vote. As long as you attend a polling venue and have your name crossed off the roll, you can lodge an ‘informal’ vote, if you want. Instead of numbering the squares (we have a ‘preferential’ system here) you can write something like “None of the above is acceptable”. Our Constitution and the Electoral Office are silent on what would happen if a majority of ballots were invalid and it’s never happened. But I do wonder what the authorities woul do if such a circumstance were to occur.

And this proclivity exists because it works. Corrosion is ubiquitous and relentless, and extremely difficult to stamp out. Yes, the Jackboots will kill off a few peons in the public square in an attempt to frighten everyone else into submission, but then a new form of corrosion arises somewhere else and it too is much more severe. Evolutionary escalation back & forth, and Civil war by attrition. But Jackboots can only kill, not grow their own food.

It’s Witch Trial Syndrome. When the PTB can’t recognize, let alone manage, a cultural sea change, they persecute witches. It burns itself out once the PTB themselves start getting accused (in Salem, the governor’s wife). It took a little over a year in 1692; given modern information velocity (and the Special Needs Toddlers’ clear determination to go all in right away) I give it no longer than that.

We’re through the looking-glass, which means that no form of fiscal malpractice is off the table.

Remember that Versailles was created out of wilderness after the monarchy had formerly resided in Paris.

I think Versailles was more-or-less the attempt by the monarchy to reset, rather like Constantine abandoning Rome for a new city he named after himself. An early version of draining the swamp, if you will – finding the swamp un-drainable, the only alternative might be to start a new swamp.

They’re still buying up everything in Martha’s Vineyard, despite the fact that their nonprofits say it will be underwater due to global warming soon enough. Maybe they’re all planning on “transitioning” to mermen and naiads. Speaking of our rich elite and their wonderful charities, did you see where the bigwig at Apollo had to resign because he paid Epstein something like 150 million in “consultancy fees”? That’s steep for blackmail, but if you can afford Edvard Munch’s “Scream” you can probably afford it.

Since Trump is gone, they’re left with nothing to sustain this fiction — no identity of their own outside of hate — so they are lashing out in an attempt to get their hate mojo back.

Yes. The wearing of the mask – and the entire tranche of rules around it – does seem to be an exercise in humiliation. I suspect that many people who don’t like wearing the mask, but are afraid to lose it, get annoyed at those who ‘act out’ because they themselves lack the courage to do the same. My goodness, that what it takes now for ‘courage’; not to wear a mask! Mind you, we also live in a time of ‘illegal’ children’s birthday parties.

The initial wave of executive action and crackdowns is, to use a Bush-era metaphor, more like a shock and awe campaign designed to demonstrate who is in charge and to intimidate the opposition into submission. The next steps will be more calculated, tactical efforts to concentrate power in the Executive branch. Schumer has… Read more »

As Z has said, it looks like the endgame is corporate fiefdoms. Yet business never created a state. That takes legitimate force, law, culture— all the things being undermined to create a blob of helpless consumers. I can’t see how it doesn’t collapse under its own greed.

I have spoken with dozens of Boomercon/Civnat types since the election. At least 90% of them firmly believe that American politics are inherently centrist and self-correcting, and that Republicans can take back the government. They have a rude awakening coming at them.

One might hope they awaken, but that assumes some rational basis for their current belief. I’m guessing their current belief is an emotional coping response—which, to abandon it, is to enter into despair and hopelessness. Like the Jews to the gas chamber, they hoped that they really were going to take a shower—right up til the gas was seen pouring out.

Asset returns over the next decade are something to watch. Return expectations are historically low. A reasonable estimate for a 60/40 portfolio using the S&P and treasury/corporate bonds is ~1% to 2% annual above inflation, maybe a touch higher but not much. That’s dramatically below its historic average of ~4% to 5%. Pension funds are in a world of hurt. They’re already doing all kinds of things to generate income, including selling options which could turn out very poorly. Retired Boomers are also in trouble.

I have been assuming we are near the front end of a significant cycle out of stocks from boomers needing to pay for nursing homes.

They’re right. Most retired people don’t dramatically change their portfolios. A lot have a decent amount of money so they’re not worried about running out; therefore, they design their portfolios more for passing along to heirs, so they keep the portfolio at ~50/50. Wealth is pretty concentrated. Most Boomers don’t have much money. Probably 10% to 20% have the vast majority of Boomer wealth. Portfolios that size don’t need to move huge portions to bonds. Also, bonds are paying anything, so people keep money in stocks. (Thanks Fed.) What’s going to give is the low returns. If wealthy Boomers are… Read more »

The old totalitarians generally had limited resources and toying with the victim for needless pleasure was a waste of resources. They didn’t want the problem to linger. Which is why I never understood the gassing and incineration of the Jews (and supposedly just as many gypsies but no one cares about them). Assuming the death toll, wouldn’t it just be easier to put a bullet in someone’s head above an open trench? That’s what other regimes like the Khmer Rouge did. It all seems too exotic for a regime that was busy fighting a world war.

It was always a function of speed and secrecy. The initial extermination was too public, too slow, albeit effective in the Baltic States initially. It was deemed easier to round up a more compliant population with the promise of relocation. A train of thousands of “relocatees” could be eliminated within a few hours of arrival at a “camp”. Also, such facilities of extermination were often attached to production facilities where slave labor was used in the war effort. The dead slave labor of course being constantly replaced by new arrivals.

Along those lines a lot of the Biden executive orders are just replays of the Obama orders (or sometimes new variations thereof). Forgotten, even though it was only a few years ago, was the damage Obama’s fitful fancies did to the nation and economy, like he would wake up one day and decide that businesses had a moral obligation to hire only people with a extra toe, or something.

if “humans” means white people, then probably yeah We have to always be wary of thinking the world behaves and will respond as we do Case in point, prison. It was designed by white people for white people on the premise that men don’t like being told what to do and being in cages, so it worked as a disincentive to crime. But doesn’t work on blacks, who actually prefer the simplicity of the lifestyle and not having to work and manage a home. Larger point being is that everything we have read on totalitarian societies has involved white people… Read more »

Point taken, but: China? Cambodia? N.Korea?
Not very white.

whatever the case, I would not look to any non-white country for clues on what we should expect and/or solutions

And I know that the Asians here in America are big into mask wearing and a number of the women have proven natural Karens. And there are lots of them here. I don’t think we can expect any of them as spiritual allies or sympathizers in the fight against tyranny. Or Mexicans or Indians. Although blacks like to disrupt life for whitey, I don’t see them leaving the plantation and joining our side.

Mexicans don’t mind masks? Where do YOU live? Where I live, most Mexicans do NOT wear masks, which I applaud.

Would add to the analogy, that the dog is dumber than the cat, but also more faithful to its (human) God, and therefore it has risen up above other canids and domestics in general. The cat is smarter but less faithful, and while he has risen above many other felines and domestics too, he dies more often on the streets as a wanderlust. Also, the fascist states would have settled into order even more (they already had), had they not been constantly attacked by the alliance of democratics and commies that owns the world since 1945. Also, Torquemada was race… Read more »

No. Border Collies in particular are smart to the point of it being almost disturbing. What makes cats seem smarter is that they have no agency, no true awareness of their self or surroundings.

I once had an Australian Sheppard that was smarter than most Somalis I’ve encountered.

Honestly, cats are just retards with incredible reflexes. They get fascinated by the dumbest things and are constantly doing stupid things for apparent reason. However, they are extremely good at clawing their escape from threats. I don’t really get their appeal.

On the contrary, cats are hyper-aware. They have a psychic sense, which is quite powerful. I think dogs have it, too.

“Like an engine needs fuel, the new totalitarians need a constant supply of victims to torment.”

This is why, as in the French Revolution, they always end by eating their own.

Excellent piece. I would also recommend on this subject the great Ann Barnhardt. She has a whole series on “diabolical narcissism” that I recommend highly if you want to understand Soros, Gates, Obama, and other government tyrants down to the most mundane mid-level bureaucrat. Though she doesn’t use your excellent cat analogy, she describes how watching us squirm is the biggest part of the sadists’ thrill.
