The Custodial State

One of the weirder aspects of the Covid panic was how every corporation decided they needed to do their duty with regards to panic. In many respects, they were the primary fear mongers, as people interface with corporations multiple times a day, while it is possible to tune out the government. For most people, the yammering meat sticks in the media are just the background noise of life. The corporation, on the other hand, is the safety rails of their life, guiding them as hey go about their business.

Shortly after the politicians declared mass panic, every retail chain was busy putting up signs, setting up social distancing protocols and training an army of harpies to lecture people about the need to be safe. The banal overhead music was replaced with endless chants about how much they cared and wanted you to be safe. Those declarations were followed by the robot voice telling you to obey the latest edicts from the CDC about social distancing and dousing yourself in alcohol gel.

The weird part about it was not that it was right out of dystopian science fiction movies where people live in high tech penal colonies. What was weird is no one noticed that we were suddenly thrust into high tech day care centers. The fact that corporations would take the lead was just expected. Something similar happened with the antiwhite pogroms launched after George Floyd. It was corporate America leading the war on white people through ads, TV shows, sporting events and movies.

Again, the remarkable thing about this is not that corporate America is hyper-political now, but that everyone just accepts it without notice. Here is a story by Matt Taibbi about YouTube censoring someone named Bret Weinstein. He walks through the travails of Mr. Weinstein and other Covid skeptics who have been harried by faceless censors on social media platforms. It is a weird blend of passive-aggressiveness and technological superficiality. It is Kafka meets Hal 9000.

The thing that Taibbi does not mention is why these companies suddenly think it is their duty to police what people say. All of the heads of these tech firms regular say they have a duty to police what people say on their platforms. The retail chains that decorated their stores with Covid stuff took the same stance. They were doing their duty by pushing you around in their stores. It was not profit or the satisfaction of their shareholders at the top of their list. It was your safety.

We have gone from a world where private companies should have the right to regulate what happens in their firms because property rights are essential, to a world where they must regulate what happens because the public good demands it. In the blink of an eye, all of corporate America is of one mind on all issues and they volunteer to be on the front lines of the fight over those issues. America is now a massive daycare center run by corporations acting like matronly old hens.

It turns out that C. S. Lewis got it exactly right when he said, “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

The custodial state turns out to be worse than the authoritarian state imagined by Orwell, because there is no face to the enemy. In 1984, it was Big Brother who ruled with an iron fist for his own sake. In the custodial state it is an invisible network of mother hens with unlimited resources. With one hand they dispense the pleasures of life and with the other hand they grab you by the scruff and make sure you eat your broccoli before leaving the table. All we see is the hand, never the face.

Because they are faceless, there is also no way to appeal to their humanity, their sense of fair play or the rules they claim to follow. When YouTube bans you from their platform, they issue a form of “Because I’m your mother and I say so” when you try to appeal their decision. When the bank shuts down your bank account, they make sure to inform you that this hurts them more than it hurts you. Declaring themselves a selfless nanny of the custodial state makes it all right.

The custodial state is the sensibilities of women armed with the weapons and power created by men. This is what lies behind the popular lunacies of Critical Race Theory, wokeness and white fragility. Every one of these is pushed by a thousand perfumed hands as a way to show how much they care for all of their children. Stripped of the Marxist jargon, it is nothing more than a mother standing over her children telling them to play nice and share their toys with one another.

In the Assemblywomen, the 4th century BC playwright Aristophanes described a world in which the women of Athens gained control of the government. Before long the city fell into a chaos that is familiar to us today. Men were wearing their wives’ clothing, ugly women were demanding that men see them as attractive and, of course, everyone was supposed to share their good with the community. In short order the normal rhythms of Athenian life give way to the chaos of female tyranny.

Aristophanes never explained how it ended, because it was just assumed that no such thing could last very long. That was what made the play a comedy. America will soon find out how a gynocratic custodial state ends. Maybe modern people are happy to sink quietly into the darkness of infantilization. Rather than take up their posts in the adult world, they prefer to live like children, a modern Eloi. The collapsing fertility rates and increasing dependency suggest the end of us is a form of crib death.

“‘It seemed to me that I had happened upon humanity upon the wane. The ruddy sunset set me thinking of the sunset of mankind. For the first time I began to realize an odd consequence of the social effort in which we are at present engaged. And yet, come to think, it is a logical consequence enough. Strength is the outcome of need; security sets a premium on feebleness. The work of ameliorating the conditions of life—the true civilizing process that makes life more and more secure— had gone steadily on to a climax. One triumph of a united humanity over Nature had followed another. Things that are now mere dreams had become projects deliberately put in hand and carried forward. And the harvest was what I saw!”

Big brother isn’t the problem. It’s big sister. As women poured into the workforce after World War II, they ultimately flooded two areas, after they broke out of admin jobs:
1. HR
2. Marketing
Those are perfect thought police functions. Marketing tells you what to do. HR make sure you do it. Today, especially in high tech, there are a lot of women in these roles, often heading the functions.

This problem is compounded by armies of weak half men who go along with what women say in the hopes of being granted sexual access.

Winter war perhaps. I’m not an expert there, but when Germany crossed the Russian border, the Russian Army folded like a cheap suit. The discipline you detail came basically from Stalin’s order of no surrender, no retreat—backed up by KGB machine gun squads who shot any soldier attempting to retreat. Indeed, the number of Russian soldiers who surrendered in the first months of the war numbered in the millions. Germany could not handle them. Many never made it to prison camps. And the “love” of Stalin was so “great” in these “hero’s of the Soviet Union” that the Germans recruited… Read more »

Off topic: Devon Stack explores the idea that the conservative versus liberal divide is rooted in a biological disgust response. See 70 minutes into https://trovo.live/video/ltv-101517843_101517843_1625728371?ltab=videos. This analysis corroborates with rK theory. With regard to white people, the fundamental political divide is rooted in whether you find rotten meat and men kissing as disgusting. I don’t mean to minimize our concerns by reducing them to disgust, but I don’t want to live in a state that promotes what we find viscerally disgusting (probably for good reason).

I suggest that one of the many fundamental differences between J3w$ and Europeans is that Euoropeans have a high disgust to rancid meat and men kissing while J3w$ do not. The disgust response in J3w$ is triggered by homogeneous white societies.

While rolling my eyes about mandatory masks in the airport this week, I was telling my kids how airlines used to harass and scold people over not turning off their cell phones. In 10 years I did tons of flying, everyone was told it was dangerous to have the phones on. It was all a b.s. lie. I never turned mine off, ever, and not one of my flights had issues. I remember getting yelled at more than once, though. Then, one day, the government basically announced “never mind”, and now the airlines only mention it in passing. I have… Read more »

Going by memory here, but there were a few instances of sudden loss of control in 737s in the 90s. FAA couldn’t trace the incidents back to anything wrong with the plane. They guessed that maybe it had something to do with cell phones and regulated cell phones to be turned off in flight. Airlines didn’t object strenuously because they thought cell phones were often a point of conflict with passengers. Its a now a backdoor method of encouraging passengers to be civil towards each other and the airline attendants (no cell phone, fewer people talking loudly and playing music… Read more »

If they cared about passengers, we wouldn’t have to sit on spine destroying plastic benches with no knee room for anyone taller than a 15 year old girl. And they require bathing.

The rare self quote: “If we lived in more civil society, likely this regulation would have been repealed by now.” To be more explicit, the reason that riding an airline feels like being in prison is because alot of the people (the black ones mostly) riding the plane are crazy and can’t be expected to act normally around other people. IMO, you don’t get to use your cell phone in the airplane because of black people.

Yesterday Home Depot kept saying my Visa debit card was declined, but it was debiting my checking account at the same time it was declining me! The result was they overdrew my account and I must wait two days to get my money back.

The manager blamed their “system.”

This would be called theft in any normal world. But in America it’s called a “system problem.”

In the next constitution, there should be some type of tort reform. You can still bring a lawsuit, but plaintiff must post a large bond. And if you lose, you pay all the other side’s costs. All of them. And non-dischargeable in bankruptcy. Some (small) naitions already have many of these. And not surprisingly, very few lawsuits there. Ideally, there’d be some way to penalize attorneys and firms who file frivolous claims, but my crystal ball clouds at this point.

Most courts have sanctions for actually frivolous claims (FRCP 11) it’s just that “frivolous” is a very hard standard, and thus rarely applies. This “cure” already exists, yet the problem persists.
To echo B125 and Zman, the problem is wahmen in power. Conventional analysis is any jury has women, and women will require some payment if anyone got seriously hurt regardless of those oppressive male “rules” or “justice.” If you end up with an all female panel, the plaintiff gets something regardless of fault or defenses. We have had civil jury nullification since 1919.

I’ve just started reading Plato. Even after just a few readings, it’s quite apparent that the ancient Greeks had, shall we say, rather open attitudes towards homosexuality. 😮 This, from what’s considered the cradle of Western Civilization! I know it’s unfair to project my culture’s standards on some ancient people, but… While I didn’t study the classics in school, virtually never was this mentioned.

Monty Python joked “Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle…”; apparently a bugger for other things too!

I wonder if it was more prevalent back then. Thousands of years of limited passing on of gay genes should have diluted the percentage of the population.

We may be looking at a combination of factors producing a “true” male homosexual. Leave women out of the discussion for now. Leave “groomed” adolescents out as well.

Perhaps there is a genetic proclivity that is activated by some fetal hormonal imbalance in utero during gestation? Such would be difficult to detect even in an environment of free inquiry—which of course, as with IQ, we do not have.

Aristotle was a bugger

Aristotle is known to have had at least two children, a son Nichomachus, and a daughter Pythias.

One of them is believed to have been legitimate, and the other is believed to have been born by a slave girl.

Furthermore, Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics is usually understood to have been written for his son, Nichomachus, who also was his student [and who was named for Aristotle’s father].

In other words, Aristotle was a chad & a homeschooler & deeply respectful of his ancestors.

The rot in Greece begins and ends with Plato.

Plato was a monster.

Possibly the most frightening development of Covid was the very successful (and very feminine) rhetoric used by the other side: You’re not doing XYX to protect yourself; you’re doing it to protect other people. It was used primarily for the masks but could be applied to almost any capricious mandate. Thankfully, it wasn’t as successful with the vaccinations, but it’s utility was cemented.

Part of it is also the feminine “do something.” Had a convo with a female coworker about gun violence, etc. She was a gungrabber, of course. Asked her if studies showed that restrictive gun laws had no positive correlation with reduced gun violence, why would you support it? Didn’t care – something had to be done, whether it actually fixed the problem, had no effect, or even made it worse did not matter. Mask mandates are the same – it’s the old “boss is watching, look busy.”

I’ve heard that the recent Amazon retcon of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest makes Nurse Ratched the hero(ine). So, if understood as “relevant,” the film version we know is “about” Nicholson’s character as Q Shaman and Nurse Ratched as AOC?—or, Ratched is Amazon and Nicholson is us. And/or.

I doubt many of the hippies were people were people who had just been released from an asylum. But it seems there was a big overlap between the hippies and the homeless crazies (see Manson).

It doesn’t seem like that much of a coincidence that around the same time the asylums were emptied out, parts of San francisco and the Laurel Canyon area in LA became weirdo magnets.

Wherever they have a big vaxx push is where the “case”/ hospitalization rate goes vertical.

My apologies to our host, as his excellent post today is about feminine synchronization-

Exactly. The unvaxxed are acquiring immunity the natural way, and the vaxxed are safe. What’s the problem?

The reason for the eerie coordination is: Threat of lawsuits. Once the CDC has put out its recommendations, all businesses must comply with ALL of it – or they are vulnerable. If a business decided to say “fuck it, forget the masks,” then the very next time one of their employees came down with COVID, the business would implode under an avalanche of lawsuits for “unsafe work environment.” If the business is carefully following absolutely everything the CDC says, then they don’t have any liability.

By that same logic, companies are opening themselves up to lawsuits if they mandate experimental vaccines for their employees and there are adverse reactions.

I note there was a “news” report on an airline flight yesterday having to be cancelled and a large group of High Schoolers tossed off for refusal to wear “the mask”. This was some sort of school organized trip and given the large number of students seemed pre-planned as masks must have been wore to even gain access to the airport. Oddly enough the news report said that no charges had been brought by FAA.

Thanks for the tip. I checked and the protest was probably not pre-planned. It came after two hours of mechanical-repair delay, during which the air conditioning was off and the cabin became uncomfortably hot.

The plane was bound for the Bahamas so I can’t see the kids defying mask protocols just for giggles. Not when it would delay their vacation rather than prolong it. But it does suggest that the kids have parents powerful/wealthy enough that the FAA didn’t want to charge them.

This is the “marketplace in action” (lol, trademarked by the Koch Foundation or David French): advertising is more important than free speech to our Corporate Overlords.

Yes to those. Thus the rationale for at least some services to be paid by subscription. For example this site. Z does advertise but it’s very low-key. I’m unlikely to buy these products. I am a paying sub for value received.

During this last winter of dire panic I noticed, almost every day, the “Mask-a-Boob” family parading down my residential street. The young husband and wife are both about the same height, and build: middling short, and pear shaped. The whole clan, husband, wife, two grade-school kids, and one in a stroller, are all masked up like zombies. I was out watering the lawn, the other day, when I saw them marching past. Since the mandate expired, they have become bold enough to wear their muzzles on the chin so that they can breathe real air. But as they drew close… Read more »

They love the mask, they want the mask, they want to wear it forever. Come fall, with cold and flu season, mask mandates are going to come right back and that percentage of the population is primed and ready to go and is going to be happy to be a civilian Gestapo. I think last year is going to look like a cakewalk compared to what’s coming. Someone I know was told by her cardiologist that she can’t come and see him in person until she gets the vaccine. How is this not illegal? But I would imagine the FDA… Read more »

They’re already starting to ramp up the fear mongering with the dreaded “delta variant” or lambda or whatever. Just as things seem to be getting back to a semblance of normalcy. Of course there are still plenty of mask tards and always will be no matter what. I guess it depends now on how the majority react to this next round of bulls***. If they fall for it again and allow corporations to force it down their throats, we can pretty much kiss it goodbye. This BS has got to end.

But I would imagine the FDA is going to approve by fall

The official clinical trials are supposed to be finished by the end of 2022 / early 2023. If the FDA approves before that date, it will mean that they have given up the last pretense of following any rules, besides arbitrary orders from their corporate masters.

Clinical trials?

The Pentagon has announced mandatory come September.

Totally agree. Here’s a link to an Epoch Times interview with Dr. Robert Malone, involved in the invention of the mRNA vaccines. It’s a good interview. A bit long. One of the most telling points to me is his saying the medical establishment (WHO, CDC, etc.) is already very close to losing all credibility due to censorship, gaslighting, etc re: 1. Ivermectin (and other “banned” treatments) 2. The risks and rewards of the jabs (primarily, lack of fully informed consent due to the experimental nature of the treatments); 3. The (former?) denial that the virus could have come from the… Read more »

I can’t speak for everyone, but the events of the past nineteen months have pretty much destroyed my faith in the medical profession. There’s a silver lining in every cloud. Like I say about Trump – he did about as much as could possibly have been expected of a Boomer Civnat – and my God what a beautiful thing he did. Thanks to Trump, we now know the TRUTH, we know the ENEMY, and we know precisely what will need to be done. Furthermore, COVID has taught us that finding an Old School [Pro-Life] doctor is maybe the second most… Read more »

I have to admit, I’ve found myself taking a sour but real joy in screwing with those types. I’ll be in the same aisle with one in the store, and suddenly I’ll find whatever product they’re looking at to be irresistibly fascinating. “Oh, have you used that before? My regular brand is Brawndo, but I’ve heard great things about this brand. Tell me all about it.” All the while inching into their personal space like an Arabian rug merchant. My goal is to eventually chase one all the way down an aisle and into the crosswalk.

When you happen to get change for a cash purchase, rare as that might be, demand from the cashier that you be shown evidence that the coins and bills have been effectively sanitized.

I’m increasingly dismayed by the lack of ability to make change. If I ring up at $16.24 and I give the cashier $21.25, I’m often informed that I’ve made a mistake and they try to give me the dollar bill back. I can only imagine if we used the pre-decimal British coinage system.

That’s depressing. I was a cashier in college (1980s), and it was simple. Start with the $16.24 and count up to whatever the customer gave you. So take out a penny and add a five spot. Easy peasy. About two seconds in, I would think, “Oh, I see what you did.”

Our problem today may no longer be illiteracy, but it certainly is innumeracy. The daily coof scare stats are the most damning evidence of this. ‘They said 2% of covid deaths are under 50 years old. That means I, at 42 years of age, have a 2% chance of dying. Too risky! See you in the basement and don’t forget your mask.’ Similar $16 gas bill scenario happened to my father in a Vermont town. College boy at the cash, dad gives him a double sawbuck and a dollar. Joe College returns $3. Dad: I didn’t give you a dollar… Read more »

Given Zman’s musings on the declining effectiveness of our “elites”, Millions, no, Billions of dollars will be spent and not one single door will be knocked. It’ll be a flourish of hiring for no show, no work jobs while our cell phones get spammed with reminders programmed and sent by H-1B contractors.

From my old home state of Silly-nois, $230 mil for “Contact Tracing” and Goodness Knows where the money went:

One small saving grace of our new gyno-communism is that all pretense of productivity has vanished in the new make-work jobs. Eventually the government-corpocracy will be so huge and larded with useless carbon blobs that it will get nothing done at all. Virtue signalling on FB and Instawhore, turning in your neighbors for not wearing the required number of masks, figuring out what the latest “correct” QWERTY term is for people who get off on wearing space suits and going to no-contact orgies… It’s all ultimately too much work. America may yet be saved by the sheer power of human… Read more »

This will give modern day Americans some idea of what post Civil War Southerns felt like living with the carpet baggers. In the areas with the lowest vaccination rates there is no way they will find local people willing to go around knocking on doors to ask people to get vaccinated. They will be forced to ship in zealots from big cities and/or New England to do this job. You can imagine how that is going to go over in rural Missouri.

Love seeing Southeast Missouri on that nyt vaccination tracker. It’s like 20% vaccinated. Mostly whites too. Other states like Mississippi are lower because rural blacks are too ignorant/isolated to get vaccinated. With whites, it’s defiance.

They are getting real close to calling these areas “pockets of resistance”. Almost as if there is a war going on.

Expect the “dangerous variants” to find their origins and super-spready ways in these pockets.

For now they seem content to condition the drones to the disquieting hum of dissonance that their vax protects them (so get the vax!) but also that these variants may just slip through, so these pockets of badwhites are a threat to our democracy. Wait, i mean health. Not who we are. Where am I?

The only folk in memory who have knocked on my door have been Jehovah Witnesses from the meeting hall down the road. Actually pleasant people.

Once two females showed up. We spoke, but I would not let them in as wife was not home. This impressed them greatly. They left after a brief conversion and the next week brought their husbands with them. 😉

Long ago and a few girlfriends back, the Jehovahs would visit me, to the point I was on a first-name basis with one. I would at least chat with them, and say “You’ve got your work cut out for you, a Jew and an Atheist.”(Which was really true). Finally, it worked. They haven’t been back in many years.

Similar with me, but we *do* discuss scripture. They have an interesting take on what we (Christians) consider (complete) scripture. They investigate the history of the formation of the Church, specifically wrt “books/writings” that were rejected from the Cannon most all Christians now are raised with. I’ve always wondered what the heck was left out during the early formation of the Church.

Now, you can say what you will wrt this practice, but it did produce the most engaging conversations I’ve had in my home, or for that matter any conversations, since I left the University.
