The Low Trust Model

Note: Last week a friend of ours, Jeff Winston, passed away leaving behind a young wife and a baby daughter. Jeff was the founder of White Art Collective, a group of musicians and artist who collaborated on artistic endeavors. A fund has been set up to help Jeff’s wife and daughter. There is no excuse for not hitting the goal this week, so please kick in a few bucks to the effort.


A little more than two weeks ago Hamas launched their daring raid into Israel, killing many Israeli soldiers and civilians. The Arab – Israeli story has been on the back burner for a long time, due to relative calm between the various sides. The imperial wars in the region have ended, so the American political class has not had a reason to talk about how much they love Israel recently. This attack unleashed a great deal of pent-up Israel enthusiasm from the Cloud People.

Right after the raid, the Israel lobby in the United States swung into action, launching a massive public relations campaign in support of Israel. There was a contest between the chattering skulls over who could be the most extreme in their demands for vengeance on behalf of Israel. Like the response to the death of George Floyd, the reactions from all corners of the managerial class felt coordinated. The usual suspects were all using the same canned lines on social media.

That may explain why this massive public relations campaign has not had the effect the narrative writers expected. Two weeks on and most Americans are more interested in the NFL scores than Israel and Gaza. Then you have the large pro-Palestinian protests breaking out all over the West. Washington had about ten thousand people turn up to wave the Palestinian flag. Famous people like Dave Chappelle and Greta Thunberg have made anti-Zionism fashionable again.

When you look at the polling, support for Israel is just over fifty percent, but this is due to unwavering support from old white people. Outside of that group support ranges from “a pox on both sides” to mild opposition to Israel. Among the young and left-wing, the Palestinians are becoming the cool new victim group. College campuses are suddenly having to deal with students supporting the people their donors are trying to kill over in the Gaza strip. It is, as the cool kids say, problematic.

Clearly, the all-out media blitz has not had the expected result. The political class is still playing its role, as if the people are clamoring for it. Nikki Haley is running around promising to blow up the world if elected president. She wants to rename the Defense Department into the Offense Department. While she is clearly a psychopathic simpleton, her echolalic babbling is falling on deaf ears. It turns out that even the sorts of people who care about GOP politics are not moved by Israel.

One reason for this is that this media relations campaign looks like the public relations campaigns around previous moral panics. This looks like the George Floyd hoax or the Russian collusion hoax or the white nationalist hoax. It is the same actors playing the same roles with a new bogeyman. This style of gaslighting can only work so many times before gaslighting fatigue sets in with the public. These calls to arms over the latest bogeyman are becoming background noise.

There is also the fact that there is simply too much information and too many people skilled in peddling their own reality. The Israel lobby has billions of your money to spend on these campaigns, but there is a massive guerilla army of online volunteers working to counter them. The internet is full of pics showing bombed out buildings and dead Arab children, along with carefully constructed context. The misinformation war has been joined by this volunteer army supporting the Arabs.

Of course, there is the moral problem at the heart of it all. Yes, Hamas killing women and children in that raid is terrible. Yes, Israelis have a right to be angry and want retribution for the terrible act. No, revenge and retribution are not things Westerners have been conditioned to accept. Pulverizing Gaza as revenge for the raid strikes most Western people as barbaric. Appeals to our empathy is not going to change the fact that Israeli is blowing up hospitals now.

There may be another factor, something that underlies all of these other reasons for the failed media campaign. That is the reputation of all public people has collapsed due to their constant lying and tolerance of obvious lies. All the people chanting “Death to Gaza” are people who sat quietly while their fellows told outlandish whoppers about Trump, his voters, white people, Covid and many other topics. Many of these people have enthusiastically held abhorrent positions.

A good rule of life is to assume that people who lied to you in the past are lying to you in the present and they will lie to you in the future. The public square has been so polluted by official lies and people willing to repeat them in public that many people now assume everything is a lie. If Ben Shapiro was happy to lie about Covid, why would he be telling the truth about Israel? Why would anyone accept what the Biden administration has to say about anything at this point?

This is an underappreciated aspect of what happens to people when they transition from a high trust society to a low trust society. Send a middle-class man to prison and he will be victimized by the system until he gets smart. He then goes to the extreme, assuming that he can trust no one. In time, he figures out that he can trust certain people, but he can never trust the system. Low trust societies have the same sort of trust relationships that you will see in a high security prison.

That may be what we are seeing in America. For some people, it is assumed that everything from the system is a lie. Old people still trust the system, but young people have no faith in it. On the other hand, many people are learning to trust those who have earned their trust. All the highly choregraphed media in the world is no match for the word of that guy who has proven to be on the level. In fact, the media campaigns are creating the environment for this trust model to flourish.

This is not a novelty, as much of the world functions this way. In the Arab world, for example, not one accepts official sources at face value. It is assumed that the official story is cover for the real story. Arabs love conspiracy theories. In Eastern Europe, people treat politics as a separate sphere with separate rules. Seventy years of communism taught them to understand that the people in charge serve their own interests, not the interests of the people.

It is only in the West where people came to expect honesty from the ruling class and consistency in the rules of the system. The civic nationalist concept of good government is a WEIRD concept. The term WEIRD here means Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic. It works as long as the societies and their ruling elites remain demographically Western. That is obviously no longer the case, so it is no wonder that the West is evolving a new model.

In the end, the aphorism credited to Lincoln, “You can fool all people some of the time and some people all the time. But you can never fool all people all the time” works better as a warning, rather than a description. A ruling class that keeps trying to fool most of the people most of the time ends up fooling themselves into thinking they are fooling everyone all the time. The end result is a ruling class that has the trust of no one and must rule by force until the end.

I just have to say this, and I’m sure I’m not the only person to realize this, but Chappelle, Thornburg etc aren’t “pro-Palestinian” for the same reason some right-wing/right-leaning/conservative dissidents are “pro-Palestinian. It’s the old problem of “the left agreeing with me for the wrong reasons”. Chappelle basically hates while people and has profited his whole life by making fun of the white people he hates (while performing a minstrel act that also sort of self-deprecates) and the white people he hates eats it up, because they hate themselves more than he hates them. Thornburg hates white people too, because… Read more »

This problem started in 1946 to 1948 when the British and Americans decided to play God and partition the area in order to give it to their preferred people. Note that the people who were living there and forced out had no part in the Axis Alliance nor much to do with WWII at all. OK so be it, however it should have come as no surprise that doing that would piss off many people even to this day.

Hamas routinely makes human shields of the Palestinian citizenry. They purposely place weapons and fighters in hospitals, schools, mosques so Israel can be blamed when it bombs them.

That formulation dishonestly assumes facts not in evidence. If the hospital had actually been hit it would have been perfectly possible that Israel had hit it. But the surveillance photos show it is still standing. And there is a parking lot nearby that WAS hit by something, but the possibility that 500 were killed by that bomb or missile is zero. Just look at the photos.

An interesting development in all this is that support for Israel is now being seen as low class among the left.

The over-the-top lumpenproll enthusiasm for Isreal is activating the gag-reflex among the educated libs.

Conservatards have a long history of discrediting pertinent issues by acting stupidly and thus causing the public to associate debate on an issue with the cringy behavior.

Conservatives have finally managed to discredit support for Israel by their association with it.

This old white guy is in the “no dog in this fight” camp (neither Hamas or Israel is any friend of ours). However, our unqualified support for Israel in this conflict has made everything worse and made any possible peaceful solution impossible. The Palestinians are not a threat to the USA; Israel and its American lobby definitely are. They are a perennial war lobby and are the prime movers in our overall disastrous Middle East wars.

Yep, the US task force presence is a “trip wire”. No doubt about it. Even more scary is that the close proximity of US assets allows/tempts belligerents and promotes false flag operations by the deep State apparatchiks.

Also possible happenstance. My understanding is that the second was scheduled to go through the area before the out-of-Gaza attacks. Which could be a cover story, of course.

The rulers no longer have to care whether people buy their lies. Example: Most democrats don’t support what Israel is doing but will vote democratic anyway. The tribal donors like what Israel is doing and that is all that matters.

Young people might not be on board with Israel as our greatest ally but they buy all the tribes’ other narratives including open borders and hate whitey.

Plus there are the video of missiles being launched from Gaza just as the “hospital” explosion happens right under their path. The absence of flattened-hospital pictures is in fact dispositive.

Since you didn’t take in my first reply I can only conclude that you came in on the short bus. What part of “I don’t care if you care” left you convinced that “I still don’t care” was an appropriate response?

The issue is not whether you care about the hospital, but whether you care about truth and falsity. I think that’s now settled. Clearly you are perfectly comfortable with lying

Palestinians are expert propagandists with decades of experience and billions in funding from the Islamic world, the UN and Europe. The population of Gaza is constantly exploding with tax drivers having 20 kids thanks to international welfare. If this is a “genocide” the Israels certainly need coaching.
What is annoying is how the recent ethnic cleansing of 100,000 Christian Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh has merited absolutely no howls of condemnation from either the pro-Israel or pro-Palestine crowds. Where are the Christians?

I’d say the Palestinian Authority (the official “government”) and Israel are splitting the UNWRA profits.

Also, this way, the Israeli MIC does a roaring business and the corps can shaft small business by forcing Pali temp labor at their border maquiladoras (assembly plants.)

Plus the usual “developer” chicanery, etc.

The reason for such “success” in the propaganda war by Israel (IMO) is the overwhelming control of the high ground (media). Even the local radio commentator here is Jewish and roars like lion wrt the present conflict, where previously he sounded like quite a based conservative talk show host and (((his))) religion was never mentioned. There is also (I suspect) some co-ordination of talking points among these folk nationwide. For example, the most duplicitous one is how Israel is being described as a tiny State of 8M.

I think it’s a combination of two things, the first is the Americans root for the underdog and Israel has always been portrayed as tiny Israel against millions of heathen Arabs.

Until that changes, and it might as their bombing campaign becomes more barbaric, Israel can do no wrong.

Israel has traditionally been portrayed as an outpost of Western civilization and sacred democracy in a wilderness of Islamic savagery. Furthermore, Jews have been depicted as white. Those two tropes have played a large role in white America’s support for Israel. Alas, as AINO rapidly becomes less Western and whites are increasingly condemned as Blue-eye Ice Devils, that support will wane. In fact, it’s happening already.

Dan Bongino (who normally says at least a few sensible things) has gone full retard in his support for Israeli revenge against the Palestinians. He wants blood, lots of it, and cheers on every act of collective slaughter no matter how many innocents pay the ultimate price for what a few hundred Hamas criminals did. He has done a half dozen shows in this vein while spitting rage-fueled F-bombs endlessly. Unhinged is too mild a description for his vitriol.

I can strongly relate to the journey from high trust to low trust. There have been many bumps on the road. Election night 2020 was definitely one for me. Nothing can persuade me that was on the level. And if elections are totally cooked all bets are off. J6, lawfare against Trump (not a fan of him but it is what it is)…. eventually you start to realize it’s all lies

American society used to be low trust. The founders, setting up a government, warned the people to be vigilant and hold them accountable.

“Old people still trust the system, but young people have no faith in it. On the other hand, many people are learning to trust those who have earned their trust.”

I see this as a positive development, something more fundamentally American, frankly. DC is making itself irrelevant. Power will devolve, is devolving, to the local, which has its scumbags but is more trustworthy, because it’s more accountable.

Keep it going!

The Samson Option isn’t about nuking, say Tehran and Damascus if things look terminal for Israel. That might be done, but it’s not the point. Samson is explicitly about nuking European capitals (or so persons who act as if they are in the know say).

Why nuke European capitals? You tell me. I’d hazard a guess of:
1. Blackmail to push Euros to oppress and torment those Israel sees as enemies;
2. “Because you didn’t love us enough to keep us safe, so you deserve i!” It’s a very narcissistic way of looking at the world.

Samson was intended as a sort of reverse mutually assured destruction. The Jews suspect that the Arabs and Iranians might be willing to give up a few cities in order to eradicate them, or at least given the genocidal behavior of the Jews the Arabs can only assume that they’d be butchered by them anyways so MAD wouldn’t work with them. So the plan was that by threatening to take the capitals of Europe down with them, they essentially extort the West into making sure they never lose a war.

An interesting note is that the Rave Raid may not have been an attack on the rave at all.

Someone noted that Hamas was attacking an Israeli military site; the rave was, oddly, staged next to it, venue changed suddenly?

The rave goers tried to flee; the IDF blocked the road(s) and forced them back into the middle of the field of fire.

No one, particularly Arab nations, want Gazan refugees for obvious reasons. They’re like plague rats.

But, I think it’s interesting to wonder how many Gazans would ACTUALLY leave if given the opportunity. Hamas needs the human shields, martyrdom is goal for many, and others see moving 1 mile further away from Jerusalem as surrender.

My own guess is that refugees would be limited to those with the inclination and bribe money, and those who Hamas deploys as agents.

Among the young and left-wing, the Palestinians are becoming the cool new victim group.

That’s hardly new. Palestine has been a Commie cause celebre for half a century, until about ten years ago – right after Occupy Wall Street, incidentally, when the left decided it had bigger fish to fry than transnational banking cartels, namely homophobes, misogynists and racists.

Great summation. The scarves were a big thing in Copenhagen well into the late eighties, and the Pallies were the lefties’ favorite stalking horse until 1992, when they occupied a church bringing a few hundred Pallies for props and claiming “church asylum” for their rabid pets. State media loved it. The cops made short work of the Commies and bussed off the Pallies, but then boohooing happened and the parliament voted through an infamous, unconstitutional “special law” (a law aimed at a specific person or group) that extraordinarily awarded those 300 Pallies residency permits.
