The Post Of Judgement

For a long time now, there have been people on this side of the great divide arguing that the real source of power in American society is the media. The media has power because they control the moral framework and the discourse within it. If the media declares a set of facts unacceptable, then no one talks about them, unless they have a desire to be hurled into the void. The media controls what is allowed to be said, so they control how things are done and by whom.

On the surface, this was true, and it was always true to some degree. A popular political quip from the analog days was that “You should never pick fights with people who buy ink by the barrel.” If the New York Times decided to declare a fatwah on you, there was a very good chance you were going to lose. This was why so-called conservatives and Republicans would crawl on their bellies to talk with the press, even though the media treated them as the official punching bag.

The model for this was Watergate. If not for media pressure, the political class would not have done anything about Nixon. The reason for that is they had no reason to hate Nixon, even if they disagreed with him. It was the media that made Nixon into a villain and then demanded the political class do something. Congress did not force Nixon out of office because they hated him or they believed he violated the rules of politics, but because they feared the media.

Ever since, the name of the game in politics has been to make sure you manage the media, which meant hiring an army of media consultants. Often, these people came out of the media. Of course, the media was an extension of the managerial class, so this new relationship created good jobs at good wages for people long on credentials and short on practical talent. This peaked under Obama when hundreds of media members got jobs in his administration.

This is why politics shifted from backrooms and onto the pages of the media, where narratives, narrative management and narrative collapse became the defining features of the public debate. The point of politics was to create a story, in which the hero defeated the villain and everyone clapped. This was to herd the managerial class into the hero side and paint the enemies of the managerial class as the villain. Politics was all about good guys and bad guys, as determined by the media.

In the end, American politics was like a Greek drama. The players on the stage were cast in their roles not by their actions, but by the commentary provided by the chorus, which was the media. It reached the point where in the Obama years, people truly thought “healthcare” was a thing that existed in unlimited quantities, but needed to be freed from the grasp of the monster called the insurance companies. Healthcare reform was a bizarre pantomime for the entertainment of Washington.

In the digital age, it went beyond the parlor games of the political class so that media power became the tip of the spear in the cultural revolution. Every activist declared herself a journalist and dedicated her life to finding heretics. Her job was to “report on the heretic” but her hope was that major media would pick up her “reporting” and have the heretic hurled into the void. Like every political terror in the ideological age, what started with the politicians was visited on the people.

This is when ideological and theological fevers break. People can suspend their disbelief and accept even the most bizarre moral framing, when it is limited to the action on the stage. They know it is just entertainment. Even when in the form of a lecture or sermon, they believe they can take from it what they will. When the directors of the moral drama begin dragging the people onto the stage, or off to the gulag, then the people can no longer suspend their disbelief.

The natural questions of all moral disputes then begin to appear. Those questions are “Who says?” and “So what?”. These questions crept up on the managerial class over the last ten years and they were never able or willing to answer them. This became obvious in the runup to the election. The media kept screaming, “Trump is evil!” and the people kept wondering, “Who says?” When they yelled about his alleged crimes and indictments, the response was, “So what?”

A great man once said that you will know that the revolution is upon us when a conservative waddles onto the stage muttering about the various “isms” and “who we are” and the audience remains silent. Then someone giggles, then another laughs and suddenly a wave of laughter sweeps the room. The great preference cascade is unleashed as everyone all at once seems to realize that everyone else thinks what they think about these ridiculous fools.

It is what we are now witnessing. Team Trump has started smashing up the managerial system in ways thought impossible. The media rushed to their pulpits to give their sermons, but the audience just laughed. The Wall Street Journal did the point and shriek at one of the DOGE kids and the audience not only laughed but turned “Big Balls” into a hero of the cause. The Vice President now goes on Twitter and mocks reporters who do the point and shriek.

There was a scene in the movie Braveheart in which William Wallace kills a group the king’s soldiers in an effort to free his wife. The last of them is the magistrate, who had killed Wallace’s wife. Wallace initially lowers his eye when he confronts him, then looks him straight in the eye and slashes the man’s throat. It is a great scene because it reflects the reality of power. The man had power over Wallace, as long as had moral authority, but he had squandered it.

That is what is happening in the United States. The media and the managerial class they represented held the moral high ground and people accepted it. This was the real power of the media. Then they squandered their moral capital on the cultural terror of the last decade. Their excesses not only damaged their credibility but also discredited their moral claims. They are now on the same level as the rest of us and we are cheering as the DOGE kids put them against the post.

The media’s moral authority was doomed the minute the internet arrived. As the Derb once said, if there’s any hope, it’s in the comments section. As soon as people could comment on stories, they started pointing factual and logic errors in stories and opinion pieces.

Readers quickly realized how slanted or outright stupid reporters and pundits were. Twitter made it worse as we could see how these people thought and what they said about various topics, showing their bias and vapidity even more. The MSM can never regain their authority. It’s gone forever.

The problem I found with Facebook before I left (years ago) was that commentary was overwhelmed by the numbers of comments. Most comments adding nothing to the discussion except to say “me too” or “I’m here”. Any posting of interest would, within hours, have 10-15k comments—making it impossible to weed through to find substantive thought and insight. The reality is that the “common man” really is not that interesting in his thoughts. With 2B+ users, you get my point. Perhaps it was just me and a misunderstanding of the tools available to weed through the commentary, but I gave up.… Read more »

Comment sections on the MSM sites were always heavily selected/edited. What you saw was the small percentage deemed “acceptable” commentary. We still have such today on the Internet. Example, YouTube. Other media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, you are familiar with. I won’t comment on them as I don’t follow them, but are skeptical of their new found openness to commentary against TPTB.

The “Media” has always been a business, first and foremost. The Internet broke the traditional Media’s business model. From that point, the Media needed a new business model – so it adopted the Infomercial (from Ron Popeil and the Thigh-Master). This worked until the Coof vaxx, as opposed to the benign Thigh-Master, started killing folks. Had it just stuck to Lockheed Martin’s infomercials on killing foreigners, they probably could’ve made it work for another generation.

You know as well as I that the biggest punishment for these types is being ignored. They could care less about children and have access to wealth (albeit perhaps not enough to live abroad lavishly without the grift in many/most cases). They cannot endure and will not endure lack of attention. No matter how inconsequential these people may be, and most areutter irrelevancies, they think their “work” is important and that people hang onto every word they utter.

Jack – Slightly disagree. Yes, they hate being ignored – and they don’t value family – but they do value status and influence/power. DOGE is taking away the power by taking away the money. But along with the loss of income the managerial class is losing the status that comes with their job titles and connections. They can brag about princess going to Harvard, but when her job as head of “Enlightened Saviors of the Marginalized” gets exposed and defunded, and she hasn’t yet married well, that’s when it starts to bite.

If denial of money and jobs results in loss of status, true, but that also is why they will be ignored, which is ultimately what destroys them (pardon the circularity). Many if not most of these childless, self-important humps are leveraged to the hilt so, yeah, the revenue going away will hit home. Status among these types, as we are painfully aware, rides on job titles that are meaningless outside of their insular circles.

As an interim measure, a formerly alternative, now mainstream, elite is putting people into place to try to oust these monsters. Of course, the old boss same as the new boss thing is true. I think this new cabal is not necessarily hostile to us, and got scared by the types you described, but who knows? There are some aspects of them that are disturbing–neuralink, and so forth. But what you described is in fact underway sans the violence (so far).

In DOGE, we’ve got our own state-within-a-state that could become a sort of 5th branch of government. Is this “undemocratic”? Sure, but I’m long past caring about the voice of the People.

“The media and the managerial class they represented held the moral high ground and people accepted it. This was the real power of the media. Then they squandered their moral capital on the cultural terror of the last decade.”
I think the Managerial Class had the moral high ground because standards of living rose until the GFC of 2008-9. The nonstop incompetence since – stupid wars, mass immigration, government waste, corporate regulatory and legislative capture – has become too great for the public to ignore because living standards are clearly falling.

The GFC decimated the middle and lower classes and led to mass bailouts for the rich, it was followed by Obamacare that destroyed health insurance for most rank and file employees. Then it was followed by the Great Awokening that turned Whites into the greatest villains of all time that needed to be eradicated, the necessity of open borders (“One Billion Americans”), and “The Future is Queer” degeneracy. When you look at it in this context, it’s no surprise that we voted for a disruptor in 2016, but of course the managerial class doubled down.

Americans did vote for a disruptor in 2020 and 2024. But in 2016 I don’t think all that many of them did, relatively speaking. That year, Trump just managed to miraculously squeak by one of the worst candidates ever seen (up to that time), not so much because he was a disruptor, but more because she was so awful. Which caused the “deep state” to expose itself, which inspired people to vote for the disruptor. That’s my read on it anyway.

Depending on where you look, the standard of living started started falling in the 1970s, but accelerated greatly in the 2000s. If you lived in Pittsburgh or Ohio, it began falling in the 70s.

The media’s handling of Big Balls was comically bad. They should have just ignored it. ‘A 16 year old kid did something silly and juvenile’ is not news. They just made themselves look ridiculous by repeating it over and over (while trying not to laugh) and salting it with a bit of ‘he said something racist too’

It also shows how evil they are. They didn’t learn their lesson with the smirking teenager Nick Sandman. They try to ruin the lives of young white guys for coin or political points. They should all be arrested.

This is the whole point of the “Gulf of America” rebrand.

Of course it’s nonsense. So we’re the Army base change names, Mt. McKinley name switch, and ridiculous statues to criminal drug addicts in public squares.

It’s a power flex. Under Uncle Joe and Barry O we were told “it’s no big deal, what’s your problem? Are you a bigot?”

Same stuff here. It’s a marker to see who is on board and who is actually stupid enough to challenge power publicly over trivialities. (Plenty, apparently)

The great political artist of our era is Richard Serra, recently dead master of the misplaced metal slab. He did a couple interesting things, but his position in the regime was Big Man of ugly public sculpture. We’ve all been inconvenienced and annoyed by him. A slightly bent rectangle he spent fifteen seconds sketching is your life turned to waste thrown in your path—and a castle (modern equivalent) for him, and a salary for fifteen people who hate you.

I will believe, deep in my gut, that we’ve truly turned a corner when no one speaks or comments (here or elsewhere) using “Hitler” “Gestapo” “Nazi” as terms of comparison for anything (speech, press, education, int’l relations). Most people today cannot remember what happened 10 years ago. In 1940 the US was 90% White. That damned war ended 85 years ago and I am beyond tired of people acting as though it was yesterday, or in any way relevant in 2025.

Right. I have even read that the reason the CIA decided to get rid of Nixon via Watergate was that he had said–in the Oval Office where he tape-recorded everything (except for 18 minutes, of course)–that he knew who had killed JFK, but it was too soon after that assassination to do another one, so they did Watergate and used the press instead.

Indeed, the whole leftist argument seems to hinge on “we should do <i>X</i> because it’s nice”; to which we ask “Who says it’s nice? Who is it ‘nice’ to? Not me.”
Formerly they could appeal to authority on this (“The Regime says that it’s nice”) which while somewhat effective, also removed credibility from the Regime Bank each time it was used. Now they have <i>nothing</i>.
