A Week of Very Clear Signals
dekulakization continues uninterrupted
The G20 leaders flew to Bali this week to cosplay social repulsiveness and to hear from Klaus Schwab, who has no government position or formal place in the G20, making the G20 gathering a kind of executive committee meeting for something that rhymes with “Morld Meconomic Morum.”
The terrifyingly vacuous Bond villain said that ve must fundamentally restructure ze vorld, flattering the geniuses like Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden who will now use their personal wisdom and strength to do the restructuring.
(That’s an excerpt — the whole thing is here, if you want to punish your mind.)
There’s so much to love in this babbling, starting with the fact that the wealthiest and most powerful nations in the world can’t manage to deliver decent audio. But listen to what the man says:
1.) Looking out into an audience of the world’s major national leaders, he says that we face a global “multi-crisis,” made up of “economic, political, social, and ecological, and institutional crisis.”
Accepting the premise for the sake of argument, who caused all that crisis? Hello, leaders of the ruined world, I honor your wisdom and clarity, and turn to you to fix your broken countries that you’ve been leading.
2.) “But actually, vat ve haf to confront is ze deep, systemic, and structural restructuring of our world. Und zis vill take some time! Und ze vorld vill look differently, after ve haf gone through zis transition process.”
This is all of Klaus Schwab in three sentences: We must do structural restructuring, see, not non-structural restructuring. And after we have completely, deeply, systematically restructured literally everything in the entire world, the world will look — wait for this, because this is insight from the most renowned of all the experts, a deep mind who you may struggle to follow — different. Yes, changing things a lot makes them not be the same. Und zis is vy Klaus Schwab receives ze big bucks! You and I could not think at this level! Stand at attention!
3.) “Politically, the driving forces for this political transformation, of course, is the transition into a multipolar world, which has a tendency to make our world much more fragmented.”
Political fragmentation, then — the transition into multipolarity — causes fragmentation. The fragmentation into multipolarity makes the world fragmented, thereby, you see, fragmenting it. Careful, Klaus, you’ll accidentally write a whole Thomas Friedman column with your mouth.
The man is like a novelty gift with a pop-up clown inside it: You press the button, and it makes nonsensical streams of word-sounds. Fortunately, however, Klaus was speaking to an audience of Joe Biden, so I’m sure it sounded deep in the room.
And so our we’re-still-counting-ballots, week-plus “election” deflects frustration over decline and decay, and the next Senate minority leader will be Mitch McConnell, who promises to work closely with Joe Biden to get things done.
Global leaders assemble to hear that the world is seething with crisis and needs total reconstruction in every detail and from a granular level, nodding along with the Star Trek character on the stage; then they fly home to say that everything is okay, stay the course, avoid extremist sentiment. And don’t panic, we’ll count your vote sometime next week. Home message and away message:
There’s no need for change, we’re fundamentally restructuring the world.
The scam is not subtle, the course is not a mystery, and there are no near-term solutions coming that will be delivered through elections and partisan politics. But I’ve started to read Aaron Kheriaty’s important new book on the global emergence of a new biosecurity regime, and he sees the moment clearly: “Scientism is a totalitarianism of disintegration before it is a totalitarianism of domination.” While Klaus Schwab was in Bali, directing his subordinates to proceed with the complete LARPer restructuring that will make the world anew, I was reading this paragraph:
We’ve seen these people many, many, many times, and they still dream of a Great Leap Forward. In matching shirts.
I’ve hesitated to get into the details of post-election American politics — because the topic currently makes me physically ill — but much more to come on that in the days ahead, and especially next week.
I can't believe we're losing to these guys.
Remember how shocking and savage it was when the Taliban destroyed the ancient carvings on the side of a mountain in Afghanistan? They wanted to erase history and remodel new memories of it. This is what totalitarians do. These maniacs are the Taliban 2.0.
