The End Of Minoritarianism

One of the side issues with regards to the USAID scandal is the fact that it was part of a system that has dominated the world since the Cold War. During the Cold War, this same system came to dominate the West, both as a whole, but also within the discrete parts of each member country. In fact, what happened at the end of the Cold War is this system sought to fill the void left by communism. The system was not liberalism, but rather a form of minoritarianism, minority rule.

Minoritarianism is a term coined by political scientists to describe a condition in which a minority has control of key decision-making processes. For example, the U.S. Senate requires a supermajority for certain things, which gives the minority party the power to veto these issues. This is the filibuster that the Democrats complain about whenever they need to placate their voters. In the case of the Senate, this system is to prevent the majority from abusing the minority.

Since the end of the Cold War, it has been official American policy to control the politics of the rest of the world. The endless yapping about “our democracy” is always about imposing Western systems on the rest of the world. After all, we have reached the end of history and there are no more debates about the morally correct way to organize a society, so everyone needs to fall in line. Even though the overwhelming majority of the world’s people disagree, the minority demands it.

This is where programs like USAID and NED are used. Their job, in many cases, is simply to sow chaos in targeted countries. Once it is determined that the majority is unlikely to get onboard with liberal democracy, Western aid programs go in to stir up trouble in the name of helping the poor or promoting rights. It is why they love sponsoring things like women’s rights in Muslim countries. The point is to undermine the unity of the majority in the country.

The same approach is applied to regime change. In Georgia, for example, the majority of the people wanted a patriotic government that would strike a balance between East and West, but that was bad for the people running American foreign policy, so USAID was dispatched to regime change the place. What followed was a year of protests and unrest, until the government kicked out the foreign aid workers. Once the USAID money dried up, the protests dried up.

The funny thing about the regime change operations is they rarely result in a stable government, but that is not seen as a bad result. If Slovakia falls into chaos after toppling the Fico government, that is fine. That is viewed as a better result than having a pro-Slovak government. The goal is always to prevent a majority from forming anywhere, whether it is inside a country or among a group of countries. The goal of minority rule is to keep the majority in chaos.

This makes a lot of sense from an American perspective. The United States is a small population compared to the rest of the world. If the rest of the world, or even a section of it, united against the empire, it would be big trouble. This is why both Israel and the United States work to keep the Arabs fighting each other inside their countries as well as among the countries of the Arab world. As much as Israeli and American politicians talk about peace in the region, they prefer the chaos.

We can probably date the birth of minoritarianism as an essential part of popular rule to the post-Civil War period in America. The ruling elite of Yankee New England became the ruling elite for the new country that was formed up after the war. That became even more explicit with the progressive revolution in the late 19th and early 20th century, culminating in the New Deal. Suddenly, the people making decisions would be educated experts from the best schools, all of which exist in the Northeast.

The story of 20th century domestic politics in the United States is one of discord and friction over race, region, and religion. Over and over one group is pitted against another preventing a majority forming up against the ruling class. Conservatism, for example, evolved so it could prevent a white majority forming up against the social policies preferred by the ruling elite. The many progressive causes were promoted to keep the coalition of fringes under control.

Everywhere there is turmoil there is the crisis of minoritarianism. Europe is in crisis because the big important countries have no role in decision making. Instead, you have girl bosses at the EU calling the shots. Estonia has more say in decision making than France, Italy, and Germany. Of course, the crisis was precipitated by the Ukraine war, which is the result of Ukraine being ruled by a non-Ukrainian with the support of the ultra-nationalist who make up ten percent of the population.

There is something to say in favor of minoritarianism. Most people are average to below average in their abilities. Collectively they are not magically above average. This has always been the fatal flaw in democracy. In fact, the majority tend to operate below the average of the whole. You need the smart fraction to run things, but the smart fraction needs to act in the interest of the majority. Otherwise, you get chaos, which is what we have seen over the last thirty years.

What we may be seeing now is the end of minoritarianism. The rest of the world is figuring out how to defend against it. This is why the American empire is beginning to withdraw from the frontiers. The American economic elite seems to be seeing the danger, which is why they have backed Trump and his plans to dismantle the managerial state. Even the minority, or at least enough of it, is figuring out that they must act in the interest of the majority.

The curse of the eighth decade is an observation that Israel becomes unstable in the eighth decade of its existence, in whatever form it takes. The first Jewish kingdom, led by King David, lasted for 80 years. The kingdom of the Second Temple lasted roughly eighty years before it was conquered by Rome. The modern state of Israel was formed in 1948, which means it is reaching its eighth decade. The current troubles in the Levant are rooted in the growing instability of Israel.

Perhaps something similar is happening to American minoritarianism. In his book, The Jewish Century, argues that the modern age is the Jewish age, by which he means the post-war world created by America. That is a good starting point for when minoritarianism became the defining feature of America. Eight decades of turmoil later and we are reaching the end of minoritarianism. The curse of the eight decade is now coming for the organizing principle of the American empire.

Somebody on another page chastised me for feeling that way and I think he has a point. He said we all should hope for Israel to survive and thrive. Why? Because if Israel falls apart, the vast majority are going to end up here.

It is a sobering thought to consider the idea that Jews might end up being 4% of the population once Israel gets cleaned out.

Israel’s strategic value in the middle east was to function as a monkey wrench thrown into arab politics. They are experts at dividing the locals in order to control them as we have seen here in the west. They were remarkably successful to be honest. The remarkable rise of sexual perversion and devastated families has their finger prints all over it. Unfortunately with the debacle shaping up in Gaza, Israel is now galvanizing the arabs and unifying them. They are rapidly changing from an asset in middle eastern geopolitics to a distinct liability – especially now that mass migration of… Read more »

Sometimes I wonder if this is another example of the Mandela Effect. In my timeline, the ME has always been a fractious bunch, unless under a strong, even brutal leader. It took a Caliphate to get them to put aside that silliness of Mo’s legitimate successor. Once that Caliphate was gone, there were back to their tribal squabbles, much like you would expect of any group of tribes.

Israel has had a minimal role in keeping musloids divided. If anything, the entire history of modern Israel is one of uniting the Arab League.

Lord Balfour (of Balfour Declaration) was known antisemite. The sole point of British support of the creation of Israel was (citing from as jewish as it gets Forward rag): “According to historians, Balfour had personally delivered passionate speeches about the imperative to restrict the wave of Jews fleeing the Russian Empire from entering Britain.”

Methinks, the best solution was and still is by Stalin: relocating the source of troubles to Birobidzhan in South Siberia, bordering China. World can humbly ask Chinese to re-apply their ancient knowledge, and build the (very, very tall and thick) wall encircling the area.

Methinks, the best solution was and still is by Stalin:

Human travel to Mars was impossible when the Jewish Autonomous Oblast was declared, and it still wasn’t possible in 1996, when the contemporary flag was adopted. In fact, human travel to Mars remains impossible today but not for much longer, maybe no more than five years. Then Elon’s need for warm bodies will become acute, and, if he’s still alive, he’ll have several scores to settle with the nation of Jacob.

Agree. The British version of the Havarra Transfer Program operated through the ’30s and the War, but like their relatives in Germany, the middle class Juden (who are NOT the problem) didn’t want to leave civilization for a crappy colony, and participation was low.

They undoubtedly saw the Autonomaus Oblast in Siberia as an extremely crappy Pale; the diff is Stalin didn’t forcibly relocate them as he did others, as they were his managerial class, he only knocked them off the throne.

Big J used Germany to force Little J to do his colonizing for him.

My first reaction when I read the headline with Trump’s proposal was almost despair. But then I reminded myself that a good negotiator never starts with what he actually wants. Personally, I’d pave over both Gaza and Israel – but as TempNick says, the last thing we want or need is all the Jews and Palestinians in AINO – or Canada, Europe, Australia, etc. I have no good solution but will wait and see what Trump actually does. His zionist tendencies and big Jewish donors still concern me, though.

Make Gaza an Indian reservation for the Palis – get the jews and arabs to pony up for reconstruction and build that beautiful casino resort (jews get a cut, Arabs won’t get resettled palis). Let the Palis run them/staff them (jobs!) with jewish oversight and taking a cut (usury is their middle name, no?). They can be a state within a state just like indians are here. Or like Vatican city. Most Vegas properties are staffed by illegals here, the same could work for Gaza. Do West Bank too while were at it.

Every Arab house has a wet bar, Iran used to be one of the top wine producers under the Shah, Riyadh and Tehran used to be Las Vegas in the MidEast as described to me by the expats who lived there prior to the ’80s.

Drugs are probably the #2 source of income in the Middle East, and gambling is as inshallah as it gets for bored hedonists loaded with money. Muslim women inhale pills. Macau is filled with Arab tourists. The moment they get on a jet plane, the burkas come off and the booze breaks out.

Years ago I listened to an interview with a journalist who was very critical of Saudi Arabia. A caller asked him why he didn’t respect the right of the Saudis to run their societies according to their own religious ideas. The journalist replied that he had no problem with that but he did have a problem with the hypocrisy of the Saudi elite. He cited a prince he knew who during the Islamic fasting period of Ramadan was in a bar in Hong Kong having a good time, behavior he said was routine for Saudi bigwigs.

I would argue there is a massive difference between someone surreptitously having a few bottles of wine in their house and suiting up and going to work at a casino that was imposed upon your neighborhood by the American empire.

It’s not like casinos were the Indians’ first choice either. And look, I am not a bleeding heart, we conquered the continent, it is ours and not theirs anymore. But I don’t want America to own the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the imposition of fake and gay USAID/Totalitarian Personality/Eros & Civilization values upon the region.

That was a direct shot at Israel’s real objective which is to boot the natives and build beachfront resorts in Gaza. Trump was poking them in the eye and basically saying “We’ll take that land before you do and then we’ll give it to the Palis.” Also today it was reported that Hegseth plans to remove all US troops from Syrian in the next roughly 90 days.

This is the work of the new ascendant oligarchy that is backing him, who, for whatever reason, have had it up to here with Clown World Inc. While the ousted faction still exists, so much of the organization that they’ve spent years building, commandeering, and refining, is just gone. Just like that.

This is why the American empire is beginning to withdraw from the frontiers.

According to a Chinese “geopolitical analyst” I follow on youtube, the consensus among Chinese intellectuals is that the US’s desire to annex Greenland, Canada, Mexico and the Panama Canal is the logical behavior of a retreating empire. Trump and the people around him understand that the US can’t sustain its position as the global hegemon. Absorbing the surrounding countries would work as a protective measure in a multipolar world.

Mexico is extremely diverse ecologically and topographically, once you pass the northern desert section. Jungles, highlands, huge mountains, seaside, so forth.

I wandered all around the place in the old days. Nobody who has travelled there would consider Mexico barren, except as to its marxist, feminist President Claudia.

Nor is the western U.S. ‘barren’. Come on folks, look at a map at least.

Yes, the low and high deserts are in the West. Part of the splendor and majesty that resides in the West. Tetons, Sierras, Cascades, Rockies, stamp of God is on them.

I lived at high altitude in N.M. for many years. I enjoyed the wide-open vistas for hundreds of miles. Leave the city and in twenty minutes you’re in desert or mountains, peace and silence.

Yes I’m biased, I consider everything east of the Rockies as graduated swampland, a few mountains mixed in.

Baja’s a nice place. My wife from volcanic Italy says it’s like home “but California.” Which may just mean it’s full of Mexicans. I really only know what Sammy Hagar sings about it. Every few years there’s a little manufactured groundswell among conservatives to take Baja and give it to “Israel” (American land and finance conglomerates). I’ve never heard a plan for what to do with the rest of Mexico when it “joins” us, via treaty or conquest or whatever.

Mexico, run properly, could be a jewel in the crown of our Empire. That aside – a century-long undertaking, I imagine – seizing and ruling Mexico with a firm hand would largely destroy the drug trade that is doing so much to wreck our society. Ordinary Mexicans would probably greet us as liberators. Of course there would have to be a 25-50 year delay in giving it statehood. No, they’d be a conquered people, much as the Germans and Japanese in 1945. As to Canada, well, we could give lenient conditions for statehood to all the provinces west of Ontario,… Read more »

Plus, yes, they’ve been in a Cartel civil war, after Pappy Bush and Salinas moved the Contra drug money banks from Colombia and Panama to Mexico City.

From the hairy-scary stories I’ve heard over years, they would hail us as liberators, and their men could stay home. There are whole towns of all daughters because all the husbands went north.

Call China an expanding empire if it colonises the Caribbean (roughly as far from China and as close to the USA as Philippines was vice-versa). Apart from the trade issue, the PRC is content to be the regional hegemon in East and South-East Asia. China really has three main geostrategic objectives: (1) not to have US-funded foreign troublemakers on its periphery, (2) to ensure that its trade route access to the Pacific and Indian Oceans cannot be blockaded (3) possession of a bastion sea for its SLBM deterrent == doesn’t want US sticking SOSUS type arrays in South China Sea… Read more »

This seems right. In a way, the purpose of the Ukraine war reflected a decision to downsize the empire, specifically to pull back initially to a Europe divorced from Russia, and then to fall even further back to the Western hemisphere. It has a certain logic to it despite the deranged aspects such as the prospect of nuclear war and integration with Mestizos. Ditching imperialism should be the goal, of course, but people are greed heads.

As you commented earlier, Palestine essentially is an Indian reservation. In a sense, Israel is an Indian reservation for Jews. If it ceases to exist the diaspora will be a calamity for the recipient nations. The likely future for Israel will be as a deranged theocracy with an overwhelming religious majority. In an odd way, that may prove to be far more stable.

Maybe it’s connected in imperial terms with Trump’s interest with Greenland and the Panama Canal. I read somewhere a while back that Israel wants to build a new canal bypassing Suez with its northern terminus in north Gaza. This fits in with his son-in-law’s plans for resort properties there. Trump being a real estate developer at heart senses yuge potential if Israel is about to go tits up. It is logical yet bizarre (or bazaar).

Right. The dood is a developer and salesman of upscale to lavish properties. So that’s his vision of the Strip shoreline, that’s his solution. Build huge effing hotels for the monied.

However, there’s nothing to keep them in Gaza *except* a lack of places to go to. Gaza is basically destroyed and now uninhabitable, which seems to have been the Israeli plan all along. What seems to have eluded the Israelis is that the Palestinians have warn out their “welcome” in every country they’ve fled to. Hence they have no where to go from Gaza. Trump will have to figure this one out.

The majority in Jordan- the original Mandate state- still live in tents. The Gazans are so oppressed they’ve increased their population several times over.

This is not one, but two nefarious governments at work.
Hamas was created to wind the Palis up and give Israel plausible cause- otherwise Israeli jets would’ve been strafing those giant Hamas street demonstrations. Iran, being occupied, is run by mullahs who feel about Israel like the neocons feel about Russia. The Shia rulers probably think their proxies will win the hearts of the Sunni; if they destroy Israel, they win the keys to the Kaaba.

The Chinese think in dynastic terms. Once well-established and bedded down, dynasties tend to last Glubb’s ~250 years or so. Very often when a dynasty falls, the process is very traumatic and involves incredible loss of life and decades or even centuries of warlordism before a new one arises. The relatively quick (several decades) Ming collapse and Qing takeover was almost too peaceful. I guess only several tens of millions died that time. The long Qing collapse and warlordism and civil war and initial communist bloodletting took a good century of bloodbath to get to the present tolerably good situation… Read more »

Ya gotta take it with a grain of salt. Technically the first kingdom started something like 40 years earlier under Saul.

Trump is prone to megalomaniac statements but he’s also a master of gamesmanship. Does he sincerely want to see Miami Beach II on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean?

But consider on the other hand that even such a proposal outs these vested interests. And, perhaps, it will make Normie ask why is the US so involved in a place like Gaza?

Handing power to a minority ethnic group is also the first step in colony building. Usually, Europeans found some halfway decent ethnic minority to help build the colony.

It’s not a new observation that once decolonization wiped away the empires, the cloud people started importing them or found weird minorities among us. Like Blacks in the South.

The “reporters” didn’t really have to be controlled, they were willing and usually eager volunteers, but nobody else would have paid them for what they were doing

No Monday morning quarterback ever won a game. Europe is in shambles because most of its testosterone died out in the two mega wars of the 20th Century. Ditto in the Middle East. You’ll know the testosterone has reemerged when skulls are getting cracked open again. That is how our ancestors advanced and it will always be thus. We still have it in us. Take a pumpkin and baseball bat into the woods sometime, and you will feel the spark of your ancient DNA.

People keep saying this but I suspect that De-Nazification and similar ideological initiatives are the real culprits.

Germany, the key state of Europe, was brainwashed American style more thoroughly than I thought possibe in the American occpation and afterward. And why not? I grew up in the same wash and it owned me most of my life.

All societies are ruled by an elite, whatever they call their system. In liberal democracies, elitism is practiced but officially frowned upon. Pre-liberal societies were explicitly elitist. What is peculiar about liberal societies is the blatant hatred of the elite for the rest of society. This is particularly evident in the USA, with its wealthy and powerful Jewish elite, who are the traditional enemies of the Christian societies they dwell among. Pre-liberal elites would not have dreamed of demoralizing their populations or admitting huge numbers of hostile foreigners into their countries, both of which are routine in liberal societies. In… Read more »

Mostly agree. My only addition would be to State what should be obvious yet it often goes unsaid, that money or greed is often a prime motivator. Note that I’m by no means saying that it’s the only motivator but I would argue it it probably often is especially in the world of politics. Let’s face it, 99% of what USAID wanted to happen would never have happened unless a lot of money changed hands. I wish Musk and his boys, and they are very young, the greatest success in coming through the Treasury’s database. I’m sure some most interesting… Read more »

I know it will be a tremendously unpopular viewpoint, but Dissidents are woefully unaware that hindsight is always 20/20. The reason America became embroiled in other nation’s affairs and policing them arose from the experience of WW2. Churchill and any number of other voices (called German-O-phobes at the time) – were screaming bloody murder about the rise and growing threat on Nazi Germany. But Chamberlain and pretty much everyone else shouted them down, preferring to try and appease Hitler or turn a blind eye to his growing power and influence. And as they dithered and endlessly talked, the nation became… Read more »

A survey of surviving British WWII veterans from some years ago found that most of the respondents believed, in hindsight, that the war was not worth the effort, with many stating that they would have refused to fight, given their present knowledge, or would even have rather fought for Germany rather than Britain.

The Germans literally were planning on killing tens of millions of Europeans including the British.

The Italian fascists,allies of the Germans, were nervous about their fate in the event of a German victory.

The Germans were not white nationalists, they were German nationalists who despised other whites.

You’re right . . . it is a tremendously unpopular viewpoint because it is tremendously incorrect. Nazi Germany’s goal was to restrain communism, against which the “All Lies” united to make the world safe for communism. Ironic that, after joining forces to defeat the foe of communism, the US suddenly decided that communism was threat.

Spot on, c matt, National Socialism is to defend the nation, International Socialism is to attack and undermine it.

To say that the Ostplan was like death camps for Catholics is like claiming the Tommys want to exterminate the Frogs. Muttering and shaking your fist while glaring across the Channel is not zyklon showers.

The Nazis knew darn well what hard-headed bast*ards the Slavs and Poles could be, and didn’t woo them with chocolates, but they didn’t use torture and degredation like the Ethnic Kommisars did.

Churchill, FDR, et al, were all pawns of the money power. Any threat to that ( mustache man, e.g. ) means total destruction. Honest Abe got the bullet for thinking about it, even after he took over the South for them.

Meh. I’ve been called worse by better people.😂👍 As always i must reserve the right to be wrong. I’m a last wave boomer and my programming and indoctrination still gets the better of me from time to infuriating time. You guys are all right of course – at least to some degree. But…I wonder what an alternative history would look like? America came out of that clash of empires incredibly well. And – I dunno if it’s 1939…yet…it certainly felt that way, sometimes. When Biden was filling the govt with jews, cronies, perverts, and DEI flunkies…you could make the case… Read more »

Undoubtedly, we ended up as their janissary to spread Democracy and Barbies around the world. The USSR ended up as their janissary to spread Communism.

I think Filthie’s instincts are telling him that if a You-Know-Who arises, is will be firmly from the Left. After all, they have Castro Lite up north.

I am impressed that you recovered your fumble in that scrum. It usually takes me a week to figure out I might have not been entirely spot on. It took me years, not weeks, to accept that the sociopathic Jewish power elite won the war. Germany could not be allowed end Bolshevism in the Soviet stronghold, which was likely in their plans. Churchill made a brilliant statement on Jewish power and its seditious nature right about 1920. After his financial ruin in 1929 Jews, with great prescience (give credit), kept him afloat. He became an advocate and Zionist. Anti-communism is… Read more »

If you watch Man in the High Castle and observe the German occupied America – clean streets, nice neighborhoods, good family life, etc. Remember – MITHC was made by the enemies of national socialism. In reality, it could be even better.
