The Outsider Moment

For generations, the source of conflict in the American political system is that it represents a small slice of the American people. The Yankee elite that rose up in the aftermath of the Civil War, later joined by Jews in the 20th century, represents not only a narrow cultural slice of American society, but a narrow economic slice as well. Since the end of the Cold War this has become acute. In 30 years, there have been three major reformist movements attempting to broaden the ruling coalition.

It seems like a lifetime ago, but Ross Perot was in many respects the prototype for Donald Trump’s 2016 run. Perot ran as an outsider, on the back of his folksy observations about the federal government. Despite being very rich, he was clearly a man of the lower classes. His picaresque presentation was very appealing to a large portion of the population open to populist appeals. If not for his enigmatic personality, he probably would have won the White House in 1992.

Of course, what opened the door for Perot’s 1992 run was the Buchanan challenge to George H. W. Bush in the Republican primary. When asked why he was running against Bush he said, “If the country wants to go in a liberal direction, it doesn’t bother me as long as I’ve made the best case I can. What I can’t stand are the backroom deals. They’re all in on it, the insider game, the establishment game—this is what we’re running against.” That should sound familiar.

Both of those efforts to broaden the establishment coalition to include the majority of white Americans failed, but they set up the 2016 Trump run. While it is clear that the Perot and Buchanan efforts failed in their mission, it is too soon to know if the Trump effort is a failure. The cracking of important institutions like the media and now the voting process will have consequences into the future. Perot and Buchanan focused on the people, while Trump focused on the system itself.

What we have seen thus far in the 30 years since the end of the Cold War is two of the three ways people can attempt to broaden the ruling coalition. Both are reform efforts that start outside with the desire to end up inside. Perot wanted to bring in new people, who would represent the broader public. Buchanan and Trump both wanted to reform the system by reforming one of the parties. Buchanan wanted a genuine right-wing party, while Trump wanted a populist party.

The third way, of course, is the purely outsider movement. This is when the unrepresented create an alternative outside the ruling coalition. They either peacefully compel the ruling elite to acknowledge their interests or they replace the ruling elite, and the system they rule, with a new elite and a new system. This is exactly what happened with the American Revolution. A new elite replaced the old elite and created a system that worked for them to replace the old system.

This is what makes the current moment so dangerous. Within one generation three efforts to broaden the ruling coalition have failed, while the condition of the unrepresented has declined. Just as important, the number of people feeling threatened by the status quo has increased. In the 1990’s, reformers were speaking for the white working class. Today, it is the broader middle-class that is becoming increasingly radicalized by the intransigence of the ruling class.

Another subtle point of comparison between now and that previous revolutionary moment is the divide between the reform from within crowd and the emerging outsiders, rallying around the election fraud. Ann Coulter took a swipe at Nick Fuentes over his criticism of some things she said. Coulter’s Tory instincts got the better of her and she inadvertently confirms the Fuentes criticism. Despite her reformist rhetoric, Queen Ann has always been a loyalist.

Another little glimpse of this divide is in the Ed Dutton interview of Steve Sailer last week, in which the election was a topic. Sailer strangely says that he has seen no evidence of election fraud. This is something you hear from other old paleocons and it reflects that old loyalist instinct. They cannot question the integrity of the system, as their goal has always been to join the system as a reformer. Therefore, their faith in the system is unshakable. It is civic nationalism in a nutshell.

Finally, the other bit of comparison is that the Founders did not view themselves as radicals or revolutionaries. The Declaration itself is a bourgeoise document filled with objectivist rhetoric explaining their actions.  Even at the point of the break, they sounded like men willing to meet the crown halfway. Certainly, many of them knew this was impossible and saw this moment coming for a long time, but the need to show they were forced into this position was important to them.

That same instinct is turning up in the election protests. The young people out on the streets in state capitals are using the language of reform, but are clearly ready to make a break with the system entirely. They are young and enthusiastic, so they may not see it, but the logic of their arguments can only lead to a rejection of the system as being illegitimate. If the voting system is fraudulent, then the results of it are fraudulent, making this government the fruit of a poisoned tree.

It is tempting to dismiss what is happening as heat of the moment rhetoric that will fade as passions fade. There is some truth to it. The establishment will rehabilitate some former Trump supporters like Coulter, putting them back on television. Others will temper their rhetoric in the hope of being rehabilitated. The media will try to surround the remnant in a cone of silence. The ruling class will apply the same ointments they used the last time they suffered a populist outbreak.

The trouble is, the causes of this last populist outbreak have not gone away and they promise to get worse. The fundamental problem that existed at the end of the Cold War exists today. That is, forty percent of Americans have no representation in either political party and as a result have no voice in government. The number is certainly larger, but blacks and most white liberals are so easily deluded with ceremonial tokens they imagine themselves as vital parts of the ruling coalition.

The Declaration of Independence was at the time and is today a very radical document, which is why our rulers don’t mention it much anymore. A couple of generations ago it was the center piece of civics instruction. Today it has been replaced by critical race theory and other nonsense from the multicultural fever swamps. Even so, the message still resonates today. Whenever any form of government ceases to represent the will of the people, it is the right and duty of the people to abolish it.

If the coup succeeds, many Americans will rationally conclude that we have passed a tipping point in our nation’s history. Once election theft at the presidential level is legitimized, the rule of law is dead and we no longer have a bond as citizenry. This is no trivial thing, so what to do about it? In a nutshell, prepare now to confront and oppose the inevitable tyranny. Do this with seriousness and intelligence. It is existential. Your actual life depends upon your tangible actions going forward. Natural evolution is being restarted like an oncoming freight train.

The tipping point may very well come when businesses and perhaps even local governments begin enforcing “mandatory” C19 vaccine laws. You will need a vaccine card to enter a supermarket, a doctor’s office, or to even drive your own car (vehicle checkpoints on your local streets?). With the C19 lockdowns the ruling class now has the blueprint for nationwide pacification. I’m afraid we ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.

It will be mostly neither depending on where you live. Police see the hollowed out economy the same as everyone else.

Many of the rest will do what they do now, and turn a blind eye and let slide stuff that their common sense knows isn’t worth enforcing.

Problem with vaccine mandates is that these have already been supported by the courts. We here went through this with the standard flu vaccines a decade of more ago. At that time the courts rules hospitals and schools and such could require vaccine as a condition of employment.

As far as students go, there still is suspension for religious concerns, but I suspect that will go away shortly. It is a short step from requiring masks for the healthy to vaccination.

I listened to that interview and when Sailer said that, it was astonishing. And Dutton agreed with him, although I get the feeling he hasn’t followed the election fraud that closely. When it comes to numbers and statistical probabilities, etc, I normally would put Dutton and Sailer right at the top of the list. It’s also surprising that on yesterday’s TDS show, Mike Enoch also said he didn’t think there was enough election fraud to swing the results. But maybe that’s Trump dislike talking.

Sailer’s reluctance over the past five years or so to move forward has been interesting and saddening. He seems stuck in a time warp at about the year 2000, constantly trying to convince David Brooks-types that it’s in their interest to lay off Whites. I realize that Sailer always hoped to be part of the accepted pundit crowd around the level of Murray and Coulter, but he had to have realized years ago that this wasn’t going to happen. In addition, he’s definitely noticed that even crew is being replaced by more militant and younger writers so there’s not much… Read more »

Agree somewhat. I believe that’s the result of Sailer’s work, but I no longer believe it’s Sailer’s intent. I don’t think that he wants what’s on our side. It’s just that his noticing gets people to the riverbank regardless.

Sailer refuses to give up on Citizenism, which is just HBD Civic Nationalism. He doesn’t want separate White communities. But since Citizenism is a bankrupt idea, his readers sooner or later start to look elsewhere. Again, that’s the result, not the intent.

Has it been a culture that has discouraged its chiefs from deciding whether to issue firearms licenses?

The offshoring of our industry has largely supplanted the petrodollar. Like the petrodollar, offshoring our industry provides a sink for all the credit created to keep the empire running. Offshoring has the additional benefits of increasing the profits of corporations, hiding inflation by allowing cheap imports and offshoring is not limited by where geology decided to locate oil deposits.

This is an edgier version of Z’s TakiMag article from yesterday. The Sturm und Drang process of republican government always depended on a reasonable ruling class to ward off disaster. We didn’t have those reasonable people in the 1850s and we don’t have them today. The Media Class is hell-bent on seizing power with the help of their political shills, and the “opposition” is nowhere to be found (with the possible exception of golf courses). Unless we find leadership that is unafraid of risking their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor”, we have no choice but to rebel without them.

For another glimpse, Charles Murray admitted on Twitter that he voted for Biden. He said he didn’t reluctantly because Trump is not Presidential. He did not respond with any further explanation or justification that I saw. He also regularly praises his AEI colleague Jonah Goldberg, even though Goldberg is the personification of an intellectual lightweight and doesn’t defend Murray when the mob gets ginned up after him.

I think the direct quote is that he “sighed and reluctantly voted for Biden.” Even if being “not Presidential” was his criteria, what about Joe Biden is Presidential?

That said, while Murray may be HBD aware, he’s not pro-White. There’s a difference. You see it every day in Sailer’s comments.

None-the-less, Murray has been instrumental in moving the basic issues forward and making them known to a wide audience. Whether you believe he is HBD aware, or agrees with such, he was out there in the mid-90’s before most everyone else. Most all his publications and interviews push the basic tenants of the movement forward.

Seems in this group, if you not are screaming from the rooftop wrt things we commonly acknowledge, you are cast into the void, when in reality folks like Murray have done more for the cause than any of us could ever hope to do.

Instead, he has put his energies into distancing himself from those who read his books and accepted his conclusions.

This. Murray concludes that race is real and races differ. He concludes that Whites have achieved magnificent things.

Then he sides with those who deny this – except, of course, in their hatred of Whites – and openly pine for the destruction of the European peoples.

I see your point and agree somewhat. Murray in the 1990s and early 2000s was making important arguments and, frankly, was pretty brave since there was a good chance he’d be tossed into the void. He even tried to show the dire straits of much of White America in Coming Apart. For that, he deserves praise and our thanks. But he also seems to show true disdain for populist Whites. His hatred for Trump showed that. Yes, a good amount of that comes from his Midwestern antipathy to loudmouths, but Murray is smart enough to separate the man from his… Read more »

Upper Midwest people are a special breed. They literally worship “niceness.” Don’t be boastful. Don’t talk about your wealth. Don’t be loud. Etc.

It’s why the Japanese used to (maybe still do) liked to do business with Minnesotans. They both were terrified of being rude.

That is absolutely shocking that Steve Sailer said there was no evidence of election fraud. Nothing could be more obvious. You know, I saw those ballots in Georgia. The Sunday before the election I drove up to the mountains and I was just north of the city driving past the Fulton County Annex and there is a U-Haul parked in the street with its hazards on and a bunch of black guys wheeling black suitcases into the annex. I knew something was wrong when I saw it and now course I know what it was

Their population was much smaller. The introduction of the potato allowed northern European populations to grow much further than old world crops that aren’t as comfortable with cool climates
The potato had similar effects on us Finns and we went from a population of a hundred thousand to millions with it. Then we eventually ended up with 19th century famines when the blight hit and there was nothing that could quickly replace the potato to feed that population.

A Wall Street firm (Walston) had a practice of stringing along career middle executives with low pay but the promise of a huge pension plan benefit after 20 years, and then find a reason to fire them after 18, and keep the money. Perot’s firm (EDS) bought out Walston and put a quick stop to that crap. Perot was an honest guy.

The Ron Paul movement was another attempt at reform. It was hampered by his libertarianism and professorial demeanor. Even though he represented the largest minority bloc in the GOP, They shut him down, not allowing even a 1 minute speech at either convention.

Administrative law has none of these protections, being judge, jury, and executioner. Administrative law began in 1888 with the creation of the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Anyone in her profession, playing the narrow field, has to be thought of as a fraud first, and then you go from there. Who’s not a fraud in that arena?

I do see her as a high end Manhattan bar fly who loves attention. I also see her as bisexual for some reason. But not because she hates men. I think she has a very male mind.… Read more »

Prior to the American Revolution, or the next battle in the War of the Three Kingdoms, none of the critics of hereditary regents or advocates of democracy bothered to take a vote of the general populace to ascertain their enthusiasm for a break with the UK. In fact, those that were voluble in their wish to remain British subjects were scorned, intimidated and physically attacked. After it was over the instigators became the lords. The effects of the Declaration were very much circumscribed, as they are to this day.

Absolutely. The second Clinton term and the sole GHWB term were indistinguishably bad for the United States. It is easy to forget but in Clinton’s first term, for example, he was against open borders. His Jewish rescuers turned him around for his second four years.

GHWB gave us the cancer of globalism, and it briefly went into remission in 1993 and again in 2016, but the prognosis appears terminal.

I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean, but I would very much like an explanation for how a presumably non-Leftist socioeconomic group could hijack a political movement. But, of course, that never happened. What did happen is that young Leftists, brainwashed by academia, entered corporate America in the 90s, converted corporations to Leftism (anti-white racism), and have since been using corporations to further Leftist agendas. The old dyad of socialist/Leftist capitalist/rightist no longer obtains.

A lot of what’s happened is summed up in that boring sounding economics phrase “regulatory capture”. Large corporations realized that supporting a vast expansion of the state was a good way to not only crush their smaller rivals in business but to bring in government directly as an enforcement arm of business and thus leverage the tax base in service of pushing around workers and the commoners. Previously, you had people like Andrew Carnegie hiring their own private armies like the Pinkerton’s. Modern business outsources that shit to government and thus doesn’t pay a penny for it.

Even back then there was enough history to see that the wealthy definitely leaned Left.
