Autumn Awaits

One of the most fascinating things about any revolution is the mistakes made by all sides leading up to the revolution. The errors of the people in charge tend to be the most obvious, as the winners focus on them as justification. “The king did this, so we had no choice but to do that” is the formula. Objective analysis usually reveals that the motives of the ruler and the revolutionaries were far less coherent. In retrospect, revolutions tend to look like a series of massive blunders.

The reason, of course, is that both sides of the fight tend to see the other side as a black box. They only see the actions of the other side, without understanding the motives or reasoning. With limited evidence, they fashion explanations that tend to be self-serving and petty. The aristocracy in France could have done a lot of things to head off disaster, but instead they made one error after another. From the outside, what was driven by ignorance appeared to be driven by malice.

There is a cascading effect in revolutions. The initial conditions that lead to general unhappiness soon give way to anger over specific events. One group gets angry over something, and they no longer see the ruler as reasonable. Then another event triggers different people and before long every event adds to the avalanche of unrest. In between, there seems to be some calming, but in reality, it is just the energy building up for another burst of anger and frustration at the next event.

We may be in one of those periods of calm. The dropping of the Covid nonsense and the start of summer has people thinking of things other than politics, despite the signs that this summer will be ugly in many ways. Soaring prices for food and fuel are always bad omens, bit so far people seem to be ignoring them. Similarly, the building crime wave is not getting much attention. Antiwhite violence is already a problem, but white people seem to be looking past it for now.

Even if the revolution takes a holiday this summer, there are a couple of big storm clouds on the horizon. Both are Supreme Court cases. The first one is an abortion case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. This will take up the question of the constitutionality of a 2018 Mississippi state law that bans abortions after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy. People who claim to know about these things believe the court could overturn or sharply limit Roe v. Wade.

The other case is a gun case. The court, in NY State Rifle & Pistol Assoc. v. Corlett, will review a New York law that requires individuals to get a license to carry a concealed gun outside the home. In District of Columbia v. Heller the court ruled that the Second Amendment provides an individual right to keep a handgun at home for self-defense but did not address the carry issue. Many think the courts will rule that carrying a firearm is equally protected by the Second Amendment.

If one were to identify two key beliefs of American civic nationalism, one would be faith in the courts to enforce the Constitution, if we get the right judges in place. The other is faith in the Second Amendment as the ultimate backstop. The whole purpose to voting for so-called conservatives is to eventually get a court that will strike down many of the left-wing programs, like abortion. Along the same lines, that same court will affirm the Second Amendment, thus ensuring people will never fear their government.

There is a good bet that the court rules against the civic nationalist position on both of these issues in the fall. The abortion case is the most likely shock to the system, as this was the reason to support Trump. He stacked the court with his people and now they are supposed to deliver. The Christian conservatives ignored Trump’s rather obvious personal failings because he promised to deliver judges. He did his part and now the judges have to live up to their end of the bargain.

History says they will find a way to fink on the people. In theory, it is a 6-3 court, but John Roberts has miraculously transformed into Ruth Bader Ginsberg, so it is really a 5-4 court again. Gorsuch is the most likely to find a reason to vote with the far-left. He has already found a way to fink on his side. In Bostock v. Clayton County, Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion granting men in dresses special rights. It is not hard to image him flipping to the far-left on this abortion case as well.

The gun case is a bit different, as the court could find some technical problem with prior rulings and send it back for rehearing. It is also not the radical change that the abortion case presents. Extending Heller to include carrying a firearm outside the home will have no impact on most of the country. Still, given the nature of Washington, it is not hard to imagine a similar dynamic as the abortion case. This time it would be Barrett siding with the far-left, sighting some nonsense about black victimization.

The regime has already begun to let the court know that they better rule the correct way, or their will be consequences. Senator Blumenthal from Connecticut is the first out of the gate threatening the judges. It will not be long before he is joined by other prominent Democrats, as well as the media. Then you have the extortion rackets run by the FBI and other players. The odds of the court ruling in favor of the civic nationalist position are very low, but their expectations are very high.

This is shaping up to be one of those unforced regime mistakes that seem to characterize every revolution. The abortion case in particular is the one that could radicalize a lot of civic nationalists. Christian conservatives are already on the edge, given the overtly anti-Christian pogroms run by the ruling class. If the court finks on them in the fall, it could be the last straw. They will conclude that there is no path forward in conventional politics and begin to organize outside of the system.

Predicting the future is always a mugs game, but history says that the regime does not miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. The combination of paranoia and partisan hatred keeps leading them to the wrong decision. The wise move would be to give the people a win in the courts on these issues, but wisdom requires wise men, and the ruling class is desperately short of them. Instead, the regime will be dispensing truckloads of red pills to civic nationalists when the court returns in the fall.

I’d wager Z is correct about another “long, hot summer” (e.g. violence). Here’s a news item saying Baltimorgue murders already are ahead of 2020’s rate. “Unofficial” summer only began just over a week ago. Schools don’t even let out for a few more weeks. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/baltimore-city-homicide-rate-surpasses-2020-rates-amid-rash-gun-violence Predicting the economic future is a mug’s game too, and no better place to get mugged than the stock market (beyond the literal mugging on a Baltimore street, I suppose.)

I’ve pushed the idea to civnats that the constitution has become effectively useless because the progressives have figured out easy workarounds by emphasizing the letter of the law rather than the spirit. You can ban conservative speech by working with “private companies like google or book publishers. They’re looking to contract a private company to monitor the internet activity of conservatives. They have companies enforce covid passport systems to get their jabs. The republicans then shuffle their feet and say “oh well” because they don’t want to regulate private companies.

here’s a question – how do the dems EVER get a rubber-stamp majority without doing Ipatiev House stuff. The two oldest cons are 71 and 73. They can win the presidency two or three times in a row but by then they could be down to only 40 senate seats. So they would have to then have two terms of R presidencies so they can get the senate back and then (if everyone is on board) – pack the court. Guys like @davidshor and @ronbrownstein have been sounding the alarm on this.

Seems like the Supreme Court case on abortion is a win, no matter the verdict/decision. Fail to restrict/limit abortion to a State decision, the religious right is alienated finally from the political process. Curtail Fed abortion over-reach and the Court will surely be “packed”, thereby lifting the mask on the facade of “rule by law”. I can’t wait. 😉

Wait a minute…, can someone explain what the rationale is, from our side, for wanting to restrict abortion? Responsible people (you know who I mean) mostly limit their reproduction using birth control, so they would not be affected. The people affected would mostly be the irresponsible people, who would lose an option that currently allows them a late recovery from their own mistakes. WHY WOULD WE WANT TO DO THAT?

One case I saw made that I’m still chewing over is that abortion allows (our) women to act in the most reckless, antisocial manner, exactly what a society does not want from their women. The case further pointed out that we’re going to have to figure out how to survive the “brown wave” regardless and that it would have been better to not degrade our own women in an effort to stave it off.

The brutal truth of the matter is that abortion *will never be prohibited*. There were, I’ve read, 6 States at the time of Roe vs Wade at allowed for abortion above and beyond the usual rape, incest, life of mother allowances. The Supremes at best will toss the abortion issue back into the State’s bailiwick. That will probably mean more than half the country will still allow abortion in some meaningful way for getting rid of unwanted “mistakes”. Abortion will be only a bus ticket away.

In agreement, and restating the obvious: in the USA and other nations, the social – political – legal – economic changes have taken place over many decades and several lifetimes.

Ayn Rand materialism and Karl Marx materialism are two sides of the same coin. It’s a false dialectic, setup by the hidden hand which controls both, leading to global dictatorship either way.

“‘If there is hope,’ Winston had written in the diary, ‘it lies in the proles.’ The words kept coming back to him, statement of a mystical truth and a palpable absurdity… He wrote: ‘Until they become conscious they will never rebel; and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.’ “

Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. It’s been nearly a half century since I read any Rand (like most of my college age contemporaries), but Atlas Shrugged was not an inspiration for my comment. Rather, computer based simulation modeling of societal evolution has been ongoing for nearly 3 decades now and the current models are quite sophisticated and suitable for both prediction estimation and case study analysis.

TomA, just a nit, but the majority of the population already are parasites. The lower two quintiles of the population pay no net taxes, but rather receive more than the pay in welfare. The remaining 60% (upper 3 quintiles) contain monstrous numbers of people who work for the government, and who’s societal production is sorely in question. I’d estimate at least 10%, who also are “deadwood” (and in such parasites). That’s your 50% right there.

I’d want to see some graphs of black population growth before and after various interventions like birth control, abortion, the civil rights movement, the welfare state, etc.

Even black people react to incentives and disincentives. It is certain that not all the abortions would turn into live births if abortion were banned. The key would be to figure out exactly what the conversion rate would be, and what other incentives were influencing it.

If there were any journalists inclined to check on that, and there aren’t, they’d be close enough to the ruling class to understand how Epstein fit in with it.

I think you dismiss Epstein too easily. Just look at his “resume.” Nobody comes from relative obscurity to being a multi-millionaire and rubbing shoulders with the world’s most powerful. He was a known (convicted) child prostitution pimp and suspected of much worse. While the full story will probably never come out, a reasonable hypothesis is that Epstein was an asset for domestic or foreign intelligence. Acosta and others have even made statements to the effect. Epstein’s mission was to schmooze with the elite, try and get dirt on them (a video of sex with a minor will do nicely!) and… Read more »

I wonder who the Court will side with when more people realize that vaccinated females are sterilizing unvaccinated women through contact?

The “vaccine” is a live, engineered, mutagenic RNA virus after all. Of course, by that time, many of the vaxxed will be dead or disabled, having done their job.

Perhaps the vaccine’s ‘co-variants’ will be roaring through the larger population by then. The finks might have more business on their plate than they expected.

Ever see the Broadway musical or movie “West Side Story”?
It’s about gangs in post-WWII New York. The weapons that did most of the damage in that era were “zip guns”, manufactured by ingenious criminals who couldn’t access genuine firearms for one reason or another. They built primitive but cheap and effective handguns that were commonly used until real pistols became available. It would be even easier to put zip guns back on the street now as the technology to make them is much better.

On a related note, I think the embrace of liberal values by the Church and by the protestant churches has been a disaster and has accelerated the crisis of modern Christianity. Churches should be turning in the opposite direction and become reactionary again. Otherwise, they have nothing of substance to offer.

“there is a strong current among today’s youth that is looking for more order, more tradition and more meaning and they will not be repulsed by this.” Wishful thinking. No, they definitely will be. I say that as someone deeply familiar with that crowd. Anyone who thinks otherwise is over the age of 50. The only people you’ll appeal to are SJW Leftists. You’ll divide your side with this “muh pornography” (meaning innocuous things in many cases) rhetoric while the other side takes your own goals and runs up the score.

Who said anything about embracing Puritan values? Your argument is basically the same as cuckservatives – give up everything (eventually) to appeal to leftist morality. It’s a losing strategy. Past several decades have proven that many times over.

The part of your argument I agree with is to not go overboard with the fight against pornography. However, *actual* pornography should be fought against and it’s elimination from anything resembling mainstream is a worthy goal.

FYI, I am not over 50 and you are not the only one “familiar with the crowd”.

“Thinking the preppy Christian white kids and the punk goths respond to the same messages in the same way is just wrong, though.” There are far more non-preppy, non-dogmatically religious White kids than preppy Christian White kids. All you’ll do is trade in a larger demographic for a much smaller one — smaller every day as America becomes increasingly secular. Repeating jargon about r-selection and Edward Dutton doesn’t discount my comment, which is almost certainly true.

One other thing re Street Fighter: you also have to remember these people hate truth, beauty, and God. The pornographic crap they push isn’t mid-20’s Jenna Jameson shaking her ta-tas, its more like Stacy Abrams anally plundering some nebbish white boy. Mentally healthy people of any age who see the garbage the left puts out as erotica/”sex ed” think “I don’t want to see Stacy Abrams’ flabby haunches, girded with a strapon” not “they’re trying to ban fun.”

I have a feeling conservatives won’t stop with Jenna. Not too long ago, one of the last Christian feminists got Cosmopolitan Magazine banned from my grocery store (admittedly, not a huge loss) on grounds of disrespecting women. Feminism hiding under the cloak of conservatism was quite common for a long time in our culture. They are the ones who wanted to censor risque television shows like Married With Children and complained about violence in movies. I’m sure that’s where the conservative demographic will again head back to in the near future. It won’t be long before they are attacking violence… Read more »

Speaking of mistakes, there’s also the fact that while “conservatives” (for rhetorical convenience) are usually pretty good at figuring out how “liberals” (ditto) think, the reverse doesn’t apply. (I recall some Soash study the Left was trumpeting a while back – “even conservatives think liberals care more!” When in fact what it actually said was, conservatives believed liberals *believe* they care more. The study was about “perspective taking,” or what’s known in child psych as the “Sally Ann Test.” Conservatives are good at it; the Left, very very bad).

The problem, though (aside from worker’s comp) is that the Left, far from being cunning, can’t turn it off. That Richard Spencer guy sounds like the best thing that ever happened to them. They should be promoting the hell out of him, as he has volunteered to be The New David Duke. But they keep beating him up, because they are stupid and insane.

Core inflation will take a while to play out, but will be the real killer. Right now “substitution” and cash reserves are covering for it. But as fuel and higher commodity prices drive through the production chain, substitutes (chicken for beef) will start to vanish. Add in the inevitable tax hikes on middle class and the frog will begin to realize it is boiling. Lived through the last hyperinflation and it is not a pretty thing. But back then we had a much less “vibrant” populace and lower social program costs. Crime, like inflation, takes a while to wend its… Read more »

In the 1970’s, at the peak of inflation, my grandfather got a 30 year CD for something insane like 10 percent interest. Had a very comfortable retirement.
Of course, the ruling class doesn’t let us plebs get reasonable returns on safe investments like that anymore and force us to play the stock market casino. Still need to keep ourselves aware, as there is money to be made and power to be acquired in the ruins coming.

All due respect to your excellent post(s) and yourself, but the motives for monumental fuckups aren’t important. If your government is populated by monumental fuckups the only solution is removal, even if they are replaced by more monumental fuckups. At least we would be attempting to unfuck things rather than laying back and enjoying it. As some sexist asshole once said.

When inflation kills money, it will look like “high prices”.

The inevitable “solution”? Price controls, to “stop the greedy producers”.

There’s no idea so dumb that it can’t be tried over and over and over. Because this time, it will be different.

Rationing is more likely. Price controls don’t give them leverage to dole out sustenance and favors to ensure enthusiastic kneeling and feet-washing, or to punish the badwhites. And the fact everything is or can be bought on an app will greatly increase the feasibility of this: you’ll have to order your groceries in the Dangerway app, but can’t place the order without sufficient gubmint karma credits. And we will be shocked, SHOCKED to find tha being badwhites means we het fewer or none of those, irrespective of your USD bank account balance.

SamlAdams: I agree wrt inflation. The rising cost of all sorts of unexpected things is really startling. Add in increasing unavailability (either supply chain issues or panic demand outstripping supply) and I think people might start taking notice by Christmas. Oh, their big screen tvs and various plastic Chinese junk will be available, but a roast for dinner will be stratospheric, and a portable propane heater for the inevitable power outages will still be out of stock everywhere. When it comes to crime, I’m not as certain. There certainly will be more, and it will be in places previously considered… Read more »

As FUBAR as the supply chain has been this year – and will continue to be throughout – I wouldn’t be so sure everyone will even have all their Chinese plastic junk by Christmas. Perhaps the tipping point will be inavailability of some toy everyone must have but can’t get. I’ve always suspected the final push over the cliff and descent into..whatever happens next..will be the result of an otherwise innocuous trifle.

Triple-S may work out in the sticks with an ‘our guy’ local Sherriff, but not in the cities, particularly if you’re being baited into a reaction and filmed (the McClusky’s), snapped incidentally by a dozen or so security cameras and doorbells, or by the mook’s buddy to put on World Star.
The lesson would be to keep the face diaper on, but of course the smartphone in your pocket will be triangulated by every device in range.

Dalek commented, essentially, the 3S approach won’t work due to the layers of surveillance in everyday life. I suspect that we will figure out how to get around that problem. Perhaps not in the moment of being attacked, but when cleaning house becomes the flavor of the day, we will choose the time and location shifted advantage needed to execute (heh) the problem(s). The constant surveillance may also motivate our people caught in the moment defending themselves to simply leave no living witnesses. Yes, streaming devices and fixed cameras may be an issue.

Your home invader carries a smart phone. When they subpoena the Google location data from his phone they find one of his last locations was your living room and then either stops (because you destroyed his phone) or leads to where you disposed of the phone and/or the body.

In some ways it’s understandable. Dead people don’t have privacy rights. Subpoenaing a murder victim’s location data isn’t hard, and it’s just the data of one person.

For a burglary, unless you think you already know who the burglar is, you have to check the location data of everyone who was within proximity of nearby cell towers during the crime window. That’s a lot more invasive of public privacy.
