High Plains Populism

It’s hard to believe that the things described below were routine in the last four years.  The country was literally unhinged and the dissidents among us managed to demonstrate this only with great difficulty.    

The winning side in this contest didn’t vote against Kamala Harris so much as they voted against the Democratic Party, the Party of Chaos, of BLM riots, of drag queens in the school library, of men in the women’s swim lane (and locker room), of forced vaccinations (your bodily autonomy, sister?), of locking up grandmothers who walked through the Capitol rotunda, of state-driven censorship, of malicious political prosecutions, of ruinous proxy war, of flooding the country with criminal alien mutts, of Mao Zedong style erasing of history, of FISA court surveillance, and, finally, of the same sort of self-loathing for the nation that a three hundred pound sophomore with a nose ring and sleeve tattoos feels for herself.

Between now and then, prepare to put your shoulder to the wheel. It’s not just the US government that begs for reform, but many of the secular operations of daily life in America, especially of an economic scene dominated by freakishly gigantic monopolies that have impoverished so many local communities, destroyed livelihoods and whole ways of life, and made slaves of citizens. That story has hardly begun to be told.

One thing missing from Mr. Kunster’s litany is the cowardice of the Supreme Court.  “Lack of standing” my foot.

“We Won’t Be Certifying The Election…”  By James Howard Kunstler, ZeroHedge, 11/9/24 (emphasis changed).

“Diversity” is code for discrimination.

“Equity” is code for special privileges.

“Inclusivity” is code for exclusion.

It’s been 75 years since Orwell’s ominous “1984” was published, yet ‘doublespeak’ is more popular than ever.

“If you think about it [the Democrat Party] as a group of Americans who have a view of the way the country should be governed, you’ll be scratching your head. If, on the other hand, you think of it as a HOSTILE force, one that has no interest in the wellbeing of average Americans, it makes a lot more sense.”

~ Prof. Bret Weinstein.

The destruction is deliberate.  As Sherlock Holmes used to say, once you eliminate the impossible what you’re left with is the truth, no matter how improbable.

I defy anyone to say that Mr. Baltar is wrong.  That the main characteristic of the West these days is as he describes. Period. End of story.

It is difficult to put a finger on the essence of a civilization – what makes it unique and different from other civilizations. It is easier if time has passed, providing context. Still, even without time and context, is clear that the main characteristic of the current western civilization is its abandonment of reality. It is not just denial of how badly things are going, leading to delusional thinking. It is much deeper than that. It has become the main thread in the fabric of the West. The abandonment of reality is the main driving force for everything western, including economic policies, foreign relations and social policies. This is a problem because operating outside reality will always lead to failure and disaster. Ask any mental patient.^<1>

The adults have everywhere left the room.  Crazy spending, pointless wars to convince foreigners how wonderful we are, and the dominance of the grotesque federal administrative state are but three central facts of our political lives.  With a dash of censorship by cretins and judicial and prosecutorial tyranny, thank you very much.  People who don’t have the sense that the good Lord gave a duck control our nation, fleece us, and engineer slaughter and destruction in foreign countries that are no danger to us.

I strongly recommend this excellent article.  Pay attention to the point Mr. Baltar makes that the destruction is intentional.

^<1>“A Civilization Beyond Reality.”  By Gaius Baltar, Sonar21, 5/29/24.

Installing Ms. Harris without any input or votes from the party rank-and-file was about as desperate an affront to “our democracy” as anyone could imagine, like something straight out of the old Soviet politburo, picking an Andropov or a Chernenko. Mr. Trump should remind audiences of this at every opportunity if the Democrats keep yapping about “our democracy,” which seems to be all they’ve got.
