There are many theories for why the Roman Republic became unstable and eventually collapsed into what we think of as authoritarianism. Given America’s republican history, the collapse of the Roman Republic has been something like Banquo’s ghost, especially for those who call themselves conservatives. Each new innovation is a threat to the republic. The progressives have the same fear, despite their obvious disdain for the republican concept. Caesarism haunts their dreams.
The funny thing about the fall of the Roman Republic is that it was largely the result of trying to save it. When Caesar crossed the Rubicon, he did not think of himself as the destroyer of Rome. He was saving Rome. Sure, he was violating important rules of the Republic, but Rome was too important to worry about petty things. While the idea of a republic assumes that the means justify the ends, saving the Republic was based on the ends justifying the means.
Caesar could not have existed if not for the example of Sulla. He became the key figure in the struggle between the optimates and populares factions. The former backed the supremacy of the senate, while the latter supported the popular reforms of Sulla’s former mentor, Gaius Marius. Sulla marched on Rome in an unprecedented act to defeat the populares and then did it a second time to deliver the final defeat at the Battle of the Colline Gate.
Interestingly, Sulla was made possible by the man he eventually defeated and who he once served in his own efforts to save the Republic. Gaius Marius was a general and a statesman who won the Cimbric and Jugurthine wars. In doing so he held the office of consul an unprecedented seven times. Prior to Marius, the custom was to retire from politics after reaching the position of Consul, but the Republic needed the skilled Marius, so to save the Republic exceptions were made.
Of course, the reason for those extraordinary circumstances was that the opposition in the Jugurthine wars had been able to bribe Roman senators. Jugurtha was a king of Numidia who claimed the entire kingdom of Numidia. This was in defiance of Rome, but he was able to first bribe some senators to get favorable terms and then he bribed Roman generals when war started. Rome needed to make exceptions for Marius because the best Roman citizens were no longer trusted.
You can probably start with the founding of the Roman Republic, the day Brutus stood and watched his own sons be executed for their role in the Tarquinian conspiracy, and chart the exceptions made until Caesar crossed the Rubicon. At first it was mostly personal corruption, small things that were overlooked to keep the peace. Over time it was exceptions to the rules for expediency’s sake. Each time an exception was made, it laid the groundwork for the next exception.
In the future, the robot historians will do the same thing charting the arc of the American republic as it made exceptions here and there, all in the name of expediency to save “our democracy” from some evil. In each case, the people breaking the rules or violating custom have justified what they were doing by claiming that they were breaking the rules in order to save the system. As with the Roman Republic, the American republic has fallen victim to those who claiming to save it.
We are seeing this with the latest batch of indictments of Donald Trump. In fact, the Donald Trump story arc is a microcosm of the process. It started with the so-called conservatives openly siding with their alleged opponents. You see, they were breaking their word because the greater good demanded it. This was the start of a process by which each new violation of the rules and customs is normalized and justified, thus making the next more egregious violation possible.
That process kicked off by Conservative Inc. has led to the last batch of indictments of Donald Trump, which now come with the promise of a rigged trial. The case has been assigned to one of the more corrupt and partisan judges in the system. Unlike the previous charges in Florida, which came with a judge that maintained the façade of impartiality, this judge is a crook and lunatic. This case may as well be held in the Oval Office with Hillary Clinton has judge and jury.
This now paves the way for the Republican Party to change their rules in order to keep Trump off the ballot. They will no doubt claim they are doing this to save the party or save the republic. You see, they are not succumbing to corruption or merely breaking their own rules. No, they are sacrificing in order to save the system from something they say is much worse than breaking the rules. In this process, there is always something worse than breaking the rules.
It is one of the ironies of the human condition. All human societies begin with the question, “who are we?” The answer is a set of rules that define who is in and who is not in the society. Inevitably, there are people who slither in seeking to undermine those rules by looking for loopholes and exceptions. Before long, some people start to see the rules as an obstacle. As the rules give way to this process, the only way to save the rules is to abandon the spirit of them entirely.
Of course, we have the expression “crossing the Rubicon” for a reason. When Caesar made the decision to march on Rome, the Republic was over, as there was no way to put it back together, even if Caesar was defeated. We see this happening with the political persecution of Trump. The people doing it are not going to be talked out of their next brazen violation of the rules. The only way to stop them is to physically remove them from society by any means necessary.

Just a brief word to the wise: “By Any Means Necessary” does not include attending rallies like Unite the Right or that Jan. 6th fiasco. I tried to warn people about not going to those things (not that anyone listens to me).

As a practical matter, why would one want to put a target on their back?
True enough. However, if the desiderated collapse and subsequent separation do not occur, eventually we will have to. We can cower for only so long.
Agree, at this point trying to convince anyone that isn’t already aware of what’s going on and outraged by it is a waste of effort.
Satanic filth must be destroyed
Lives and sacred honor must be put on the line
What evidence is there that decent and sane people can be swayed by “better arguments”? How many of these people were swayed by clearly rational and sound arguments against lock downs, school closings, vax mandates, etc.? The first step has to be to put a kink in the fire hose of regime propaganda.
The purpose of arguments is not really to sway people, but to strengthen “the remnant” that Albert Jay Nock spoke about (google it and read it if you haven’t already, it’s worth the time). The truth begins to pay dividends after a generation has elapsed, usually not before.
Mike Enoch got the Ray Epps treatment and after being named quickly dismissed from all the C Ville ((((lawyer))) mess thats bankrupting or imprisoning everyone else.
He was one of the biggest public faces of the whole thing and has since launched an irl “political party” which is definitely not a containment op like proud boys became
The career of Stalin is instructive. He started out as a Czarist informer, and remained so for a good portion of his revolutionary career. Once he understood his side could win and he could be a Big Man, he switched over completely.
This is why he ended the funding of the fake opposition groups to the Communist Regime in Russia. He understood the danger.
Ambition, and the dynastic impulse beats ideology the way crudely, male arousal at an attractive female beats all conditioning about transgenders. The danger for the regime is that those they fund can become their overthrowers, eventually.

In the interest of preserving the truth, the Unite the Right rally had permission to gather. This permission was disputed before the rally and reaffirmed by the court. Further, I am told that a small KKK rally had been allowed to occur earlier.
Whatever you think of the people who attended, there was little reason to suspect that a trap was being set.
I hope that history records the Unite the Right rally was the exact date on which freedom to gather was snuffed out.

The comparison with Rome is an interesting one, but I see an analogy much more with Tsarist Russia. The Bolsheviks (who were way overrepresented by a certain, uh, ethnic component), after they seized power, murdered the Tsar and his entire family because they represented the symbolism of the non-Bolshevik resistance. Afterwards they went on a murdering rampage where they killed millions of middle-class Russians whom they termed “Kulaks”. By imprisoning forever Orange Man, these same, uh, “pleasant folks” are trying to crush the symbolism of Trump as the symbol of white middle class populism. After crushing Orange Man they then… Read more »
It’s quite a pickle. The middle class has literally no leverage whatsoever. The votes don’t matter at all and white Americans simply won’t fight back in any meaningful numbers. Finally even if the entire productive class of people in this country are killed or just stop working, the regime would prefer to rule a third world hell rather than serve in a first world heaven. The only Russians who “won” against the Bolsheviks without joining them were the ones who ran into the woods and lived in a log cabin for the subsequent 70 years. So I guess learn to… Read more »

People wanted Trump to be Caesat and cross the Rubicon. But Caesar was extremely self-confident. He belonged to one of the most aristocratic families of Rome, the gens Julia and claimed to have the goddess Venus as ancestor. Trump psychologically ressembles Gaius Marius, who had low self-esteem because he was from Arpinum, not Rome. He desperately wanted to be accepted by the Roman elite and hated because they treated him with contempt, as a hillbilly, even when they relied on him. He was a man of action and was trapped by the tricks of the political elite. Trump is the… Read more »
For those of us less historically literate: Trump is Jay Gatsby. New money, kind of a criminal, desperate for acceptance by old money he will never get.

For those that are pop-culturally deficient, that’s DiCaprio not DeVinci!
For those not grammatically challenged (like me) it’s actually da Vinci not DeVinci
Pretty obviously that’s right…Trump is a wannabe, desperately seeking an acceptance he will never get, because he’s not from the right class….
It’s so true and yet so tragic at the same time because the truth is he is a unique human being. Of all the posers and the grifters and the wannabes out there he really does shine brighter. But the deficits are just too great but still I’m going to be really sad when he dies.
Trump’s ability to absorb attacks and keep charging ahead is amazing. I am awed and envious.
Line in the Sand,
Yes, maybe there is some Norse berserker in his makeup that has come down through his Scottish blood.
Caesar also had an army – he did not cross alone.
“The people doing it are not going to be talked out of their next brazen violation of the rules. The only way to stop them is to physically remove them from society by any means necessary.”
That really is it, isn’t it? No, I won’t bother participating or paying much attention to this election cycle. I won’t be doing my “patriotic duty” by voting. I guess I just have to keep reminding myself that things were very similar in Weimar Germany prior to Uncle A’s arrival, and look how quickly that country changed.
Maybe there’s still hope?
Agreed, but I will vote just to say I participated in the last election in American history…One of the rules they will probably ignore is the 2028 election….
What 2028 election? You can’t be serious.
In 2016 a lot of people voted for Trump thinking that he would be the one to cross the Rubicon. When he got to the Rubicon he decided to let the Senators pick his people and betray the faction that supported him. And now he’s surprised that he’ll be rotting in a cell for the rest of his life. What a damn fool. And to think that some people out there want a civil war over a man who betrayed them at every turn. Of course a civil war has to start over something stupid anyway. Trump is now just… Read more »
He is despicable indeed. The fact that he abandoned their own in prison while he pardoned multimillionaires says it all.

There’s a difference between been ineffectual and a traitor to your faction of support. In Trump’s case, he was both. He let insiders pick his staff. Is that a “convenient alliance?” Are you a smart person? Of course not, otherwise you wouldn’t have posted this. Let your opponents on the home team pick your staff and see what happens. But he also was lying and never cared even about his core issues. He was already making machinations for a mass amnesty. We’re in this boat precisely because of his failures. In the end Trump was about Trump, and his only… Read more »
Sure, maybe I only spent 15 minutes voting for him, but what about all those others who rallied on his behalf on J6? What about all those who’ve been rotting in prison on his behalf? What did he do for them? TBH, I’m really glad i never spent more than 15 minutes.
But Trump is going to be the symbolic sacrifice that we can point to in rallying our people, that’s his destiny….As such, he’s gold…
Absolutely. He can totally redeem himself in either rotting in prison like the J6 people he betrayed or, possibly, in our conspiracy laden country, committing suicide. He’s the sacrificial lamb we’ve been waiting for. But don’t expect any shocking news on the third day.
This cannot be emphasized enough. He is a valuable symbol for us and is being used as a warning to us. It is win-win. Our enemies are violent, blood-drenched clowns with enormous power but at the end of the day they are clowns. They will keep fucking that chicken until it flies.
That’s an image worthy of the most illustrious Ploppy.
Indeed, splendid metaphor if I may say so.
I remember when the Patriot Act was being mooted and US airports were being converted into military garrisons, one of the favored neocon arguments in favor of unleashing marshall law was that “the Constitution is not a suicide pact.” Alas, it was an argument I believed. Live and learn.

There were some of us who knew exactly where this was going, and spoke on 9/12/01 that attacking Afghanistan would bring about the very thing we were told we were fighting to eliminate. We now have a terror state of our own, fully armed, with eyes on everything. Congratulations to all the yellow-ribbon folks from 2001 and 2002. You won.… Read more »

Meanwhile, idiots at regime mouthpieces start making noise about a draft:
https://www.military.com/daily-news/opinions/2023/07/29/we-need-limited-military-draft.html
I think I’m going to run out at lunch and stock up on popcorn…
Well, years ago—before taking up the mantle of “cynic”—I too proposed a national draft. My idea was a universal draft of large proportion—no exceptions. Perhaps a 6 month deal. Those who like the system and can hack it can up for a longer enlistment. I’m sure once the initial shock is over (boot camp) a largish number will extend service.
Considering how good the pay and benefits are now, compared to civilian life, that’s not very far-fetched. It’s not wonderful at the E1-E3 level (still better than unskilled work outside the military), but once you hit E5, it’s pretty good. Factor in BAH, and you start to have a decent living.
Also, just this week the Navy implemented a policy where you automatically make E4 at 30 months of service, if you haven’t made it already.
The fact that Poland could try to take Western Ukraine before too long should be enough for anyone with common sense to stay the hell away from any branch of the U.S. military.
If any young white is fool enough to join and serve, it is on them. I may can muster sympathy for someone close to cashing out, but that’s it.
Outdoorspro: Pay for serving a corrupt, anti-White empire? For being ordered about by empowered black wimminz and fat trannies?
Unfortunately, there are always Whites who turn mercenaries and tell themselves they’re doing their patriotic duty to dead heritage America in justification.
No excuses. No serving ‘our greatest ally.’ No more brother wars. No serving the anti-White or sexually deviant. I spit on AINO.
3g, I was only addressing the economics. I’m with you guys on all your other points. But isn’t that how it often works in these cases? Make the military/police more economically attractive, in order to attract people without other options.
Jack, I’m in that second group you mentioned. And no, I haven’t recommended military service to anyone in a very long time.
The Navy has had a lot longer than the other services to get soft and complacent through lack of a challenge. The others have had that dynamic in play for a while now too, but for USN it’s been a process in motion since the end of WW2
Anyone else thing that one of the reasons that economic conditions for young white men are being “managed” in such a way as to make a military service more palatable?
I mean… if you are poor and white, about the only way you can afford college is to do it via GI bill… tI mean, whatever parts of you are left after globohomo is done with you that is.
“if you are poor and white, about the only way you can afford college is to do it via GI bill” Meanwhile, the Russian Federation has been for at least 15 years fully funding engineering education for their brightest (overwhelmingly white) young people who have the chops for it. Ours are systematically discriminated against in both the public and private sector. I think some of the globohomo apparatchiks are finally figuring out that they don’t have technological superiority anymore, and in the key areas of aerospace and electronic warfare I fully expect a war to reveal that Russia is superior.… Read more »
“Also, just this week the Navy implemented a policy where you automatically make E4 at 30 months of service, if you haven’t made it already.”
If you have been in for 30 months and have not made E4, you are a drooling moron.

They will have to institute a draft to have the only competent soldiers–whites–once Al Sharpton, Jr., is installed as chairman of the JCOS. Good luck enforcing it, boys. From what I gather, white males are not even registering at this point. It largely corresponds with their wise decision to avoid college.
I recently saw an ad, maybe for the National Guard, and the appeal was cleaning up and rebuilding. Takes some gall when they aren’t done making the mess!
I can imagine them doing an “equity” draft where they will make the argument that since Ukraine is a white people war, it will be primarily white men being drafted.
The regime strategy book isn’t too bad, from their point of view. First the economy in 2024 is going to be worse (perhaps much, much worse) and if that “pull” doesn’t work they can do the Draft-Push-Lottery system (I think this is how it worked before) where if you’re drafted the system chooses your job, but if you enlist, then you get to.
Will it work? I wouldn’t bet my life like they’re going to that’s for sure.
first thing you do when they hand you your gun is turn around and shoot them with it then go home-
But be sure to take the gun with you when you go.
That’s why they’re corraling us, isn’t it? They only way out of a greatly expanded lower class will be to serve the masters and the dusky overseer above our block unit.
Of course, since most people still think war is like WW2…when in fact it’s just your kids being blown to pieces at long range…..
Yes, that is the message to be learned from the late unpleasantness in Ukraine, isn’t it?
I.e., this ain’t your grandfathers’s – or great grandfather’s – continental warfare anymore. Human wave attacks are so 20th Century, bitchez.
Perhaps this is some sort of magical thinking on their part combined with a (tiny bit) of historical awareness. I’m referring to the infamous Union Draft Riots (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_draft_riots). This was where the Union government was trying to coerce the mainly Irish working class, who gave exactly no shits about slavery, into dying for the Abolitionist cause during the Civil War. The parallels are pretty obvious, just substitute Ukraine or Taiwan for Slavery and it’s pretty much the same idea. The pozzed WASP ruling class wants the Dirt People (who are often still Scots-Irish by race) to die for their latest… Read more »

At the other end of the Roman collapse, I begin to see why the desert hermits did as they chose to do. Facing a howling wasteland alone is preferable to the chaos of social collapse. Peace out. Those who do good unto me, I will do good unto them. All others can take their chances with God’s mercy. The modern hermit is a gray man, avoiding tall poppy syndrome and hardening himself to endure the coming deprivations with stoic resignation.

“When Caesar made the decision to march on Rome, the Republic was over, as there was no way to put it back together,…” Here, here. For those in this group that may await an American “Superman”, consider what followed Caesar. After the civil wars, Octavian (Caesar’s heir) reined supreme. He was not only the most powerful figure in Rome—with no one even approaching his stature/power/respect—he was of the Republican bent. Try as he could, there was no return to the former “Republic” of the Fathers as there were no elite families left of virtue. Within two successions after Octavian’s passing,… Read more »

Right now that is our guys in terms of the technology builders.
That will be further amplified by the large tribes who have been racialized to dispossess the majority, plus the majority minority who now has no choice but to racialize.

“…. from the people who use them as pets..”
I see what you said there. I like how you pointed out the obvious. Now we know why the greens, steins, and bergs who infestate the Southern Poverty Law Center see this place as a threat.
“They can hot wire certain Korean car’s with ease.”
Yeah, but a hotwired car still needs a working engine. Aren’t many vibrants out there capable of fixing one.
Aren’t many nuggras capable of changing a tire.
No problem, just abandon the vehicle with a flat, and hotwire another one. Mobility restored, easy peasy.
It is a series of Rubicons. Importing Africans for menial labor was one. They realized this and had a remediation plan. End importation, end slavery, give them a homeland and send them there. They did everything but the send them there part. Those in charge made it voluntary, and given how un-oppressed the Africans in America were and unwilling to be the enterprising, state-forming frontiersmen that white men were, that fell through. It should have been compulsory and both sides would be happier, and we would have America. That mistake was compounded by ignoring the wisdom about not importing incompatible… Read more »

Frankly, I don’t even know why they hate Trump so much. They never had it so good under Trump. All the news outlets got profitable running hit pieces and he governed as a typical centrist Democrat. He made near daily speeches praising women, blacks, hispanics and homos while never mentioning his core constituency even once. He surrounded himself with typical cucks. He even let a bunch of black criminals out of jail.
I believe it’s because Trump is no a member of the “uni-party”. They asked him (signaled him) early on to join up, but he either refused or was so naive as to not pick up on the offer. I also believe that this is sensed by his die hard supporters, hence his popularity in the face of his mediocrity in office.
It is because of who Trump is a proxy for. Trump is right. Krugman said it point blank. They are going after the American Kulak. They vote for Trump. They aren’t allowed a voice. They go America goes. America votes for Trump. Trump must go.
Till now, they have used democracy and lawfare to get rid of their symbol. If they have to, next, they will kill him.
Yeah. They hate him because they hate us. Every time they look at him or hear him speak, it reminds them of the dirt people who are otherwise out of sight and out of mind.
You’re quite right — he governed as a Democrat. But he didn’t start any new wars and he wanted to (and still wants to) withdraw from what he sees as unnecessary military entanglements. In this he fails the only litmus test that matters to the oligarchs — war everywhere and war forever. The sanity that Trump exhibits in this regard cannot be allowed to prevail.
He also argues very eloquently for the supremacy of the nation state. They cannot have that. The sovereign nation state and its distinct people and identity must go.
Trump very publicly apologized for Western civilization, called Third World cities “shitholes,” and noted that women allow rich, powerful men to paw their snatches. These are all truths. They are unacceptable truths. And for a people–postmodern Leftists–who see language as omnipotent, Trump’s words were an existential threat, and his deeds scarcely worthy of notice.
Arshad Ali, I think you’re onto it. I’ve spend time pondering why they weren’t willing to co-opt Trump. He gave them “most” everything they wanted. He was never in charge of much of any of the executive branch. Seems like they should prefer that arrangement for 8 years to upending the country to be rid of him.
But despite all the ways in which a president has become unnecessary or superfluous, just a figurehead, they still can’t wage much of a war without presidential approval.
He governed as a NEW DEAL Democrat, not as a contemporary neoliberal/globalist/feminist/Zionist/queer Democrat.
Trump mobilized the the white working class constituency that the Democrats cast off during the Clinton Era.
Then immediately forget about us the day he was elected.
The only defense I can ever remember him making was the “fine people” at the UTR rally. BUT, he did have to dress it up with “fine people on both sides,” because for some reason, he just couldn’t bring himself to condemn antifa.
Tars: You mean Vivek that wants moar ‘skilled immigration’ (i.e. H1bs)? That Vivek? The one the conservacucks are all excited about? Hell yeah, a true blue ‘murrican if ever there was one.
Yes, the very same, Vivek Ramasmarmy.
As much as I like saying “Vivek Ramasmamy,” I think he is absolutely awful. He combines the worst aspects of libertarianism with the POC grift and the whole “I’m the son of an immigrant” grift. The only vote I would ever cast for him is for deportation.
Every time I hear his name it reminds me of that meme a few years back where it was like some phony government-sponsored aborigine kid making a song to try and get the other aborigines to stop drinking gasoline.
“Don’t be Ramaswamy, it’s messing with your brain…”
don’t be ramma ramma.
You don’t sniff petrol from a can…….
They also did PSAs to try and get them to not sleep in the road. They like warm places to sleep. You can watch them on youtube.
Behold the power of the 68 IQ Australian Aborigine. . Pure comedy gold.
Well, hopefully we’ll finally see rasam and chicken vindaloo in the senate canteen! Another barrier broken down. Another ceiling smashed, for the luv o’ Vishnu.
I’m super stoked about all the “President Apu” (from the Simpsons) memes we’ll get though. I’m thinking it will be possible to use Simpsons clips to replicate pretty much any State of the Union address close to word for word. Isn’t that worth giving up the last bits of America for?
The TDS shown by the elite of the entire Western World really doesn’t make any sense at all. Yeah, 8 years of populism would have put a crimp in their plans but it would have soon fizzled out and TPTB could have simply returned to their long term game plan. They are acting so insane even the most brain dead NPC Normie is noticing and starting to become uncomfortable.
“The answer is a set of rules that define who is in and who is not in the society. Inevitably, there are people who slither in seeking to undermine those rules by looking for loopholes and exceptions.”
Those darn Amish. You have to keep an eye on them.
We have an Amish goods retail store here in Chiraq. I am surveilling them one berry pie at a time, too often for my own welfare.
You’re the hero America didn’t even know it needed.
I did it for my just desserts. I’m a third to a quarter the size of Chris Christie but one-thousandth the waistline of my state’s billionaire Cetacean-in-Chief. I would like to personally thank my Amish future overlords for baking healthy.
Then there are the real Amish. According to experts, they don’t eat healthy at all, for they love fatty foods and those pies whose crusts are made with lard. But it is a fact that their children are the healthiest of all the children in the United States. They have the fewest chronic health problems of all categories of children. No ADHD and no autism. And slowly people are talking about the biggest difference between Amish children and the rest is where they’re not vaccinated, and they don’t go to public schools. I figure sooner or later there will be… Read more »
I tend to agree, but have also read that they have significant problems with certain genetic disease due to inbreeding. Smallish groups are prone to such.
True but the ones who emigrate to better locales don’t seem to have that problem. They’re moving into the Mid Ohio Valley in fairly significant numbers on both sides of the river.
Wonder if that also entails some out marriage between different grouping of Amish? They do have several established “colonies” across America. That would be the answer, as would genetic counseling.
I am one-quarter Swiss-German Mennonite on the maternal side. Grams was the eight child, an accident, and she left her tribe to marry gramps, a Scot and chief engineer of a local paper mill. Our sole known genetic disease is myopia, always the left eye is worst by a considerable diopter. Even our males typically live into their nineties and we have female centenarians. All vigorous until shortly before death. I’m a stress junkie, so presumably lesser lifespan in comparison.
Real Pennsylvania Dutch potato chips are cooked in lard. If you can get them, try some of Utz’ Gma Utz potato chips, a throwback recipe from the family founders. You will forever loathe and abominate those awful chips cooked in some horrible vegetable oil mess thereafter. Animal fats, bitchez.
The schism between the established National Review/Con Inc./Open Border GOP and Conservatives cannot happen soon enough. Too many have lost patience with the GOP merely being the “shadow of Radicalism” and simping to the Left as mere loyal opposition.
This may be wishful thinking, but maybe these kangaroo court proceedings against Trump will one day be looked back at as a defining moment for the beginning of this split.
To say that the U.S. has become a banana republic is an insult to banana republics, which had far more honesty about what they were doing. The latest Trump indictment is so blatantly dishonest and contrived it’s unreal: The four-count, 45-page indictment accuses Trump… of conspiring to defraud the United States…and conspiring against people’s civil right to have their vote counted.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/jan-6-grand-jury-files-indictment-in-trump-2020-election-probe/ar-AA1eEN2q Why don’t they just call him a “bourgeois Trotskyite counterrevolutionary,” shoot him, and be done with it?

“…and kill him in a gunfight.”
The Fedthugs would first have to fight their way through thousands of armed Trump supporters. Could get messy in a hurry.
I really doubt that. Look around you at the Fatmericans. They’re too busy licking the boots of the “heroic first responders” to fight for Trump. I am totally red-pilled on this, there will be no armed resistance to the government, people are fat and happy and stupid watching porn and football while collecting government pensions and disability checks for Type II diabetes. Not. Gonna. Happen. Frankly if it did happen it would play right into the government’s hands, they want nothing more than the appearance of armed resistance to justify more police-state powers. That’s exactly what they did with Jan.… Read more »
Black pilled but sadly, likely 100% correct
I agree in spirit but the reality is complacency requires Normie to be kept overly fed and warm; Normie will accept sexual grooming of his kids as long as there are plenty of Cheetos in a lighted room. I almost would welcome the Green New Deal insanity because it would change that dynamic. And even without this, it appears we are headed off an economic cliff. The most likely scenario then will be one faction of Clouds squaring off against another.
Jack-
I think the regime’s fatal mistake will be taking away normie’s air conditioning.
there will be no armed resistance to the government, people are fat and happy and stupid
Don’t disagree. But armed in sir exion is playing to the regime’s strengths.
“ and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” Turd blossom Rove said this 20 years ago. He was referring to our global empire. Modern lefty can justifiably say the same about their actions and all we will do is watch. There will be no resistance. Football season… Read more »
I hope I’m wrong about this. But grassroots Conservatives, who should be in open revolt, will abandon Trump too. In the end, they always latch on whoever owns the Libs best. Trump did it so marvelously, and that’s 99% why he’s popular…not because he’s the best man for the job, or principled or whatnot, but because he owns the Libs so marvelously, and fires the imagination of every Jason Aldean fanboy. But in the end it’s just another form of low-info voter participation. Democracy in action. The e-GOP will find someone who’ll give lip service to censorship, guns, #FJB, and… Read more »
I upvoted you but this feels and likely is different. I don’t think it is so much a conservatard thing than a general feeling the system has failed.
Jack: The system failed because the people failed – because they’re not the people for whom the system was designed. The world’s genetic flotsam and jetsam combined with spiteful mutants and the sexually degenerate vs. “a moral and religious people.”
Marko’s pointed indictment of voting/voters is spot on
It is the system that failed. To think otherwise is a cope. I never worshiped the Founders but acknowledge they were extraordinary individuals. Still, they devised a system doomed to failure. Unless the people in charge are able and willing to persecute, kill, imprison, expel, and/or separate from those who would do their people harm, they are ineffectual if not frauds. The system the Founders developed included illusory “natural rights” we discuss here from time to time. Those fantasies handcuffed the individuals who could have used the methods necessary to maintain a society and a culture. All peoples, even us,… Read more »
There are no “grassroots conservatives.” This sort of organizing dried up after the Tea Party, which was the last gasp of it. The people we insist on calling the Left abandoned their grassroots organizing in the 1990’s, once they had full seized control of the institutions. The so-called conservatives slowly followed suit. Where we are now is all politics occurs among the Cloud People, while the Dirt People look on, still thinking the performers can hear the cheering and booing.
You write “last gasp,” I write “death rattle,” but, yeah. The only remaining vestiges of so-called grassroots conservatism are the grifters who manage the fund-raising machinery. After the politicians became the Clouds’ whores and The Help, they became even more transparently performative, which seemed impossible although they managed. All systems are oligarchies, but even the Chinese Communist Party’s puppets are more responsive to public opinion at this point. The problem for the Clouds here is that even the Dirts have started to question their role in the kabuki. They may toe the line as long as their bellies are full… Read more »
DeSantis would’ve won the presidency in 2000 or 2008 or 2012 running away with it. One can imagine him giving some rather impressive foreign policy speeches and the like, as were once part of a traditional presidential campaign (even some kind of Ur “doctrine” was typically rolled out in a speech to the CFR, which was scrupulously analyzed by all media the next day). But his persona as a competent 1990s-style governor with a command of facts and how to run things is no longer a good fit for our times. He’s a man out of season. He has young… Read more »
He’s a functionary in a time that calls for a Caesar. We probably won’t get a Caesar, but it certainly won’t be DeSantis. He’s too sober and he’s going to be far too reluctant to put his life on the line as Trump appears to be doing.
With all that has already happened, it is hard to put a finger on why this latest ludicrous and legalistic kabuki has inflamed so many people, but it certainly has. Maybe the outrages had accumulated to the breaking point, but this certainly is angrily perceived as the Rubicon crossed. The fact that river was crossed long ago aside, the Regime now rules much if not most of the populace against its will. From a practical standpoint, I and many others have long thought that the full-scale destruction of the Republican Party was a requisite to real and fundamental changes in… Read more »
Have you looked at a picture of this Jack “Javert” Smith? Physiognomy is real. A merciless martinet if ever there were. This is palpable, a crystallization of a repulsive archetype.
Not every problem has a solution.
You can’t stop the tides, and the seeds of what we see now were sown in the Civil War, nurtured lovingly with the 1965 Age of Entitlement Civil Rights Act, and tended with endless voter replacement through mass immigration.
No sane person wants a “Red Caesar”. Revolutions rarely turn out well for the common man.
The question becomes: Is it better to have a cataclysm that wipes out hundreds of millions with the opportunity of bringing the world back to sanity, or to continue along the current path where the world will be a mass of people all mixed and devoid of roots and meaning, consuming meaningless entertainment and working a mindless job until they enter their mandatory expiration age and get euthanized?
Not saying these are the only two options, but it shows why some are willing to roll he dice. There are things worse than death.
“There are things worse than death.”
Yes, in a former time. But now? We have indeed become a pathetic lot (I do not exclude myself either). Our Founders were men of—in their time—virtue and honor. This trickled down to the masses as well. Today? Not so much.
Normie is about to find out what it was like to be a Southern White man after April, 1865.
Normies started feeling the pain in those big northern cities many decades ago. But cognitive dissonance can be a bitch. However, the scales have been falling from normie’s eyes lately like a monsoon deluge. Suddenly, everyone is questioning the historical narrative. You don’t need to be a Neo-confederate to figure this out.
My father’s people came to Texas in the late 1800’s from North Carolina. My mother’s people also came to Texas in the late 1800’s, but from Tennessee. My grandparents on both sides hated Republicans with a passion because of Reconstruction. Their grandparents lived through it and passed down the hatred of yankees and Republicans to my grandparents.
I’m sure most people have no idea how bad Reconstruction was for whites in the South. But like you said, we may be about to find out.
Yep. And it is the very same people doing it this time. They truly are an abomination.
It’s not the one thing. It’s the dismal tide.
My favorite line in the movie.
Mine, too. Best line in one of the greatest films ever made.
Americans possess more than one-hundred million firearms and billions of rounds ammunition. Millions of us have military training.
Yet aside from the Bundy’s and a few other clans, I detect almost zero resistance to the rampant in-your-face corruption. There does not look to be a Battle of Athens (Tennessee) in us anymore.
I predict a more dystopian version of Brazil until we shatter like Rome. Maybe because it’s Wednesday and I need more caffeine.
“I predict a more dystopian version of Brazil until we shatter like Rome. Maybe because it’s Wednesday and I need more caffeine.”
I agree. We are Brazil, and have been since suburbs became a thing decades ago, but how far along the shattering process remains unknown. There is a very talented Vietnamese writer, Lihn Dihn, who once wrote at the otherwise largely unhinged Unz Review. He has frequently commented that when he lived in Saigon, even the summer immediately before the communist takeover people were largely dismissive that it was about to happen. It certainly feels that way here.
Where is Dihn now? I always enjoyed his writings on Unz. Sometimes he was the only thing on there worth reading.
Lihn is on Subscribestar. I stumbled across him by accident a few weeks ago. He is both brilliant and a great artist. He literally left the United States after fleeing to it because he saw the handwriting on the wall.
https://linhdinh.substack.com/
He’s on substack.
IMHO,
1) there are resources, but no organization, and TPTB do everything they can to keep it that way by destroying any would be rallying point.
2) the black swan they should fear most, I would say, is an external threat that is met with internal apathy – the Russians, Chinese, Aliens want to take over the GAE? meh, who cares, won’t be worse than what we got now.
3) Brazil, with pockets of White functionality. Not sure that sound so bad.
c matt: I would argue that your definition of Brazil – pockets of White functionality – is what we have now. And I personally found it intolerable – to the point that we sold our home and fine china and gifted a friend our crystal and moved to a cabin in the woods. And no regrets. People can and do get used to appalling levels of dysfunctionality and alien neighbors. Most have no idea just how stressful such an environment is until they find one of the few pockets of heritage America remaining. Living among nature and friendly, Christian, English-speaking… Read more »
The US is often compared to Brazil here and for good reason. I was curious how the demographics of Brazil compare to the US:
White (48%)
Mixed (43.1%)
Black (7.0%)
Asian (1.5%)
Indigenous (0.4%)
Total population is about 215 million.
Looking closer at a map of Brazil’s demographics, the Whites are clustered heavily in the southern section of the country. Some areas in the south are more than 80 and 90 percent White. It looks like a sorting has occurred.
Wolf Barney: One caveat, though – “White” in Brazil – like most of South America – is fluid and aspirational. Lots of 50-85% people who claim to have full White European ancestry.
As Z has pointed out though, Brazil has always been Brazil. The equivalent would be space aliens landing in Brazil, building two dozen nuclear reactors the local population cannot maintain, and then leaving.
Brazil ended slavery in 1888.
They even had two black free states! Won after many revolts.
How long did those last?
Yup, anybody- you’re right.
Doesn’t matter how many guns and ammo Normie have. They’re all just atomized little grillers with their little hero fantasies. Not organized, not an army. And if they try in any mild manner to organize or connect, you better believe the Feds will be a knockin. It’s a conundrum.
I read a story once, mind you it was only a story, about thousands of small towns with hard men who had the three essentials of an independent life; a gun, a shovel and an alibi. Every so often a corrupt official or policemen would stray into uncharted waters and just…disappear. No reason and no witnesses. Pretty soon the police started to do their jobs and politicians started to care what the people in these little towns wanted. Of course, it was just a story.
Well, may name’s John Lee Pettimore/
Same as my daddy and his daddy before/
You hardly ever saw grandaddy down here/
He only come a town about twice a year/
He’d buy a hundred pound of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew it was to make moonshine/
Now the revenuer man wanted granddad bad/
Headed up the holler with everything he had/
Before my time, but I’ve been told/
He never come back from Copperhead Road.
These are borderers born, serious men.
I think I saw Glenfilthie recently referring to the Boers of South Africa forming their own, secure communities, and how very seriously they take that responsibility for their people’s security. Shoot, shovel, shut up.
> In fact, the Donald Trump story arc is a microcosm of the process. It started with the so-called conservatives openly siding with their alleged opponents. I’ll never forget Ross Douthat advocate for implementing the 25th amendment to take Trump out of office as soon as he was installed. The funny part is, the evidence for prosecuting Douthat for that nonsense has far better legs than the most recent indictment. The side effect of removing popular candidates D.C. doesn’t like is priming the people to accept a Caesar. After a game is rigged so much, the only option is to… Read more »
That’s the whole point of the Donald’s troubles – to discourage any would be Billionaire Caesar from even thinking about it.
I haven’t looked at Zero Hedge yet today but it seems like the downgrade isn’t nearly as big a story as it should be. I saw one little blurb about it and it seems like the elites want to downplay it and move on from it.
But this is a huge story that will have effects on everything from Ukraine to consumer credit. It’s the first brick coming out of the wall with more to follow soon and faster.
The trial scene in Idiocracy does come to mind. The Democrats think this is the way to eliminate their nemesis, but I think they will only make the guy more of a hero. I don’t believe the uniparty will be able to cast him off the Republican ballot. Letting him win beyond the vast margin of theft is another matter.
The fact all of this is making Trump more popular would give them pause if they had common sense. When Nixon was knocked out, they managed to manufacture a decent consensus on both sides that was the right answer. The system still depends on right-wing leaning people playing by the rules, while the scales rigged to the left. Once they develop a late-stage Soviet attitude to their civic obligations, the competency crisis will go into overdrive, and their foreign imports won’t be able to pick up the slack.
I don’t believe the uniparty will be able to cast him off the Republican ballot
Never underestimate the GOP’s power to cuck. Knowing they won’t win regardless, nothing to stop them from ditching the Donald. At least with the Donald off the ticket, it makes the Dems job easier. Heck, they might have to cheat in FAVOR of the GOP just to make the legitimacy of 2024 appear plausible.
Donald Trump as Obi won Kenobi?
They are worried about the eventual blowback and reprisal even if none is coming. The ramping up of security around these traitors and despots is something most don’t mention or just accept. Gov. Whittmer just gave a speech and signed a budget bill with much fanfare in a suburb of Detroit. Small town and yet large concrete slabs and wood blockades were distributed around the perimeter blocks away from the signing. Plenty of police protection also. This for a small ceremony for a governor? I have seen less concern and protection for visiting presidents in the past. Is D.C.still fortified… Read more »
So much for the notion that the Power Structure isn’t concerned with restive Grillers…
They believe their own press and are truly insane.
The government orders the media to lie about insurrectionists everywhere, then cowers in fear of the phantom they’ve failed to conjure.
It’s like The Tell-Tale Heart, but instead of breaking down and confessing when the heartbeat finally overwhelms their senses, they’ll kill us all.
I think there’s another parallel between Caesar and our current ordeal. I know this is somewhat debated, but I think part of the reason Caesar crossed the Rubicon was because he felt there was a strong possibility that – had he gone to Rome alone as tradition dictated – he would be arrested and executed. Even if that fear wasn’t the sole motivating factor, he had to have thought there was a very mucn non-zero probability that he was going to end up dead without the backing of his troops. When those with power start making these calculations, any Republican… Read more »
Orange man needs to get Wagner on the payroll.
The downstream affects from this are unpredictable. Inevitably Red State/County/Town pols will become more radical and given the state of the regime more than a few will have to go “all-in” as the regime has sent a message that apostates will not be tolerated.
Looks like the Ukes are going to kill Gonzales Lira (an American citizen) with the Biden regime’s blessing – for having bad opinions.
Why not? The Israelis routinely murder American journalists and the Ho House and Sin-It shower it with dollars in response.
“ If they let loose the reins and let someone else take over, then they’re going to end up imprisoned or dead. ” Even if the right is permanently out of power, that calculation is eventually going to be made within internal liberal power struggles. Imagine a future “front man”, say a younger Biden-like president who sees an upstart like Gavin Newsom as a threat and decides to “neutralize” that threat. Of course, Biden is too old and feeble to really do anything, but say in 10-20 years when a more vigorous middle-aged liberal President is facing an internal challenge… Read more »
Drum head trials for crooked politicians
They claim that the judge assigned to this case was done so randomly. Does anyone actually believe that? Is there anything you can believe from the cloud people? If this system grinds on and the elite fairy tale of this period is written into the history books, I fully expect that judge will get a SCOTUS seat for her obedience to the regime.
The physiognomy of the judge says Trump is in trouble. (I also heard her husband is a tribemember.)
It’s possible. Obama stacked the courts for years with full on partisans; Republicans, when given the chance, put in wet noodles like “It’s-a-tax-not-a-mandate” Roberts. They don’t even put up token resistance when a ridiculous candidate like bodacious and VERY loquacious Ketanji Brown Jackson onto SCOTUS. Dem appointments are extremely loyal and read the room. Kavanaugh & family get harassed in front of his home for months for a couple decisions. KBJ and Tanya Chutkan (?!?) will never suffer the slightest public shaming or pressure without mass arrests of those who dare to do it. OTOH, the goofy Trump cases went… Read more »
Given the jurisdiction, it is possible it was randomly assigned. In my jurisdiction, the odds of getting a crappy judge are 90%.
But would the Power Structure really allow the possibility of the Trump judge coming from that other 10 percent?
“The only way to stop them is to physically remove them from society by any means necessary.”
Now we’re getting somewhere…
Good essay.
The only way that will happen is by invasion by a greater power.
Can’t see that happening.
The whole thing is a slowdown train wreck.
Damn it! Slow motion.
Sorry, but you wrote “slowdown.” You’re going to have to live with that for the rest of your life.
