This is an insult to Brezhnev, comrade. Despite the senility of Biden and the alcoholism of Harris, he was still much smarter than them. Kamala’s campaign and Joe’s cognitive decline cover up are slow motion Chernobyls.
I'm sure they contribute their share to the world supply of pond hockey pucks and goal markers. And that which passes for brains of many candidates for office.
Hahaha. Have to agree about Brezhnev. Despite an infinite number of jokes about Brezhnev in Soviet folklore, his mental condition and inability to speak coherently were likely caused by abuse of and addiction to drugs his doctors prescribed excessively. According to those who knew him intimately, he was an intelligent man and was not unkind. Biden and Harris exist on a different plane.
That would be hypocrisy personified for downstream disciples of Leninism to complain about Soviet praise. I vaguely remember a movie where a crazed gangster spun around 2-3 times while firing a machine gun. Reminds me strongly of modern Leftists.
Don’t denigrate drug abusers by blaming Harris’ idiocy and maladministration on drugs.
This is a woman who smiled broadly as she bragged about “With a stroke of my pen…” she (as DA & AG) could charge parents of truant children, imprison them, cause them to lose their jobs and bankrupt them, and then, months later, dismiss the charges. Her rationale? To serve as an example to others. Her perspective reminds me of “pour encourager les autres” (for the encouragement of others), which is a phrase used to describe the WWI French Army’s practice, after a unit broke under hellish fire, to select a random sample of survivors and execute them “pour encourager les autres.”
This is not drugs – it’s the corporeal embodiment of satanic evil.
"And so we get Kamala Harris, and holy cow please help me. This may be the first person in the history of the world who has never answered a question. She seems programmed in her core functions to turn away from the actual substance of anything that anyone might ever ask, like she was brainwashed after that one combat patrol that ended vaguely."
I've now read partway through Lyon's Substack post and find its thesis quite intriguing. So, I thank you for the recommendation. At the same time, though, I am quite annoyed at now having as a consequence to add two more long form articles, Pinkoski's original and Lyon's longer piece, to my already unwieldy internal nag list of things I need to try to remember to read sometime in the not-too-distant future. Otherwise known as the perpetual self-imposed homework assignment list of the soul.
The only problem I have with that is that it's already a stretch to try to fit Kamala into the plot of the movie given that in the movie "the candidate" does not refer to either of its fictional prospective presidential candidates but rather to one of the brainwashed members of the lost brigade. If you add in Walz, then you might as well rewrite the movie as a postmodern mash up: The Manchurian Candidate goes Through The Looking Glass, and the whole deck of cards gets upended. Which seems about right.
One of the greatest movies in last 25 years or so was "The Death Of Stalin". It's a fictitious account about the butcher's death and the mechanizations and funny and zany behaviors of the upper echelons of the Politburo and what theoretically might have happened. Much black humor in the way people were routinely destroyed and all the lying and plotting, it reminds me of what the "D"s are now. A bunch of old gangsters plotting their next moves to keep control and you see how stupid they are generally and how dishonest they all are and in every single possible way. Harris is very much one of them. If anyone is looking for great entertainment that relates to what we see now (and in both parties), it's worth your time.
Thanks for the reminder, I’m rewatching now! Helps take the edge off the fear of what these paranoid and militarized maniacs are capable of doing to innocent civilians. When you’re surveilling the entire population, who is dangerous enough to be on the enemies list?
I appreciate the amount of time and effort you put in to engaging in a dialogue with your readers. It almost makes me feel guilty for continuing to be a freeloader on your page.
One of her most inane and common responses to certain questions is to say that she “will follow the law”. As if the President had no ability to influence Congress in regard to legislation. Or the President’s ability to discourage enforcement of laws that they disagree with. A truly gutless answer.
Man oh man, 1992 may as well seem like 1892. Just watch even old Larry King clips, or Carson from that era. Normality wasn't scandalous. People could *speak* back then, in complete sentences. What in the hell happened? The internet? Social media? Do we have to re-analogue the world to get back to that?
It's as if we are actively devolving into something less than what we were, before our very eyes.
Reliance on the internet and addiction to social media have a lot to do with this, IMHO. We were on light rail coming back from a football game recently, and two 20-something guys were asking when they should get off. One of them said his smartphone had died, and he couldn’t figure out the order of stops 😳. My 18 year old daughter said, “Look at the transit map in the car!” They didn’t know HOW to interpret it. Another older guy laughed, looked at me and said “Us Gen Xers and Boomers knew how to read maps and live without smartphones!” He was impressed with my daughter being able to do stuff without reliance on the internet (Thanks, Dad!) 🤓
One of the reasons they talk this way is their positions are so hypocritical and nonsensical they completely melt under the light of any common sense questioning. Thus, they must preempt common sense questioning with word salad, diarrhea of the mouth, and a barrage of obvious lies. (Lying liars lie. It’s what they do.)
I bookmarked that mimetic societies list from Luca back when he published it. Explains sooooo much. Also, the midwit meme. I still believe the fix is in. But it will be really interesting to watch it play out. I'm sure PA, AZ, NV, MI, and maybe GA, OH, WI, will draw out their official results for days (maybe weeks?). Most will preliminarily call it for Harris, putting Trump on the defensive and instantly labeling anyone who challenges that call as "election deniers" thereby creating the basis for midwit Rs like our beloved mimetic midwit manchild Gov Spencer Cox to go with the narrative.
Maricopa Country (Phoenix), AZ election officials have already announced that it will takes days and possibly weeks to finalize voting tallies! WTF???!!!
Some smaller counties report complete results overnight. OK, we are larger, but certainly 5 days should be easily possible for complete, verifiable US election results.
The whole point of taking days to report election results is to render them unverifiable. The template has been set to destroy any Republican who challenges the results, and sanction or disbar their attorneys. Nothing short of a landslide win for Trump will break this model.
Somehow, ear to the ground level, I doubt that the fix is in. God knows they'll try, but it can work only if enough Trumpists decide the election is in the bag, and stay home. The possibility does worry me, but the early voting is encouraging. Also, I think the potential skippers are so appalled by the prospect of her winning that they are damned well going to vote.
The Democrats seem to be in disarray and DC in dissolution, so the fix is going to be extremely patchy and uncoordinated. The coalition for The Global War On Trump has dissolved.
I may be wrong, but the only Democratic organizations I see coordinating anything are the media, and that’s patchy too.
It would take suicidal commitment personally among many persons not renowned for courage or nerve who are leaderless to see through a successful fraud, and sufficient force to enforce their verdict after, they are leaderless, cowardly and have no forces they can trust.
" I’m beginning to think it won’t actually take much of a fight. The thing just…crawls away and dies, like the Federalists and the Whigs. We’ll see."
Nope. This ends in a bloody civil war very soon.
I agree with your conclusions but the fact these "people" are too far gone down this road to save means they have to be wiped out.
"Mimetic societies end in mass suicide"... Yes. The left is a suicide cult. The feminist center is evil. Anti-man, anti-child, anti-family, and anti-woman. In favor of anything degenerate or perverse.
And terrified of the alpha daddy.
Global warming - a suicide hoax. Depopulation: A suicidal idea. The pattern is clear. We have only one choice. Give them their wish. End them.
Some wounded animals don't just crawl away and die. They become rabid frothy-mouthed and attack anything that threatens it. Especially dangerous and unpredictable. This wounded animal will probably lash out and attack. And anyone close enough for them to hit when they strike will be severely wounded. How to stay out of striking distance? How best to put them down without endangering others?
I hope ‘bloody civil war” is wrong. I’m in a zone of Honorary Lifetime Members of the Tru-Blue Neoliberal Baby Steps Society and am innocent as a kitten. Is there a label or badge or uniform or tag I can wear or display or wave to show I’m Not One of Them? Is there a Dissident Dispensation?
Anyone here who doesn't read max Remington here on Substack should really start. He's a mild prepper and has considered deeply what "civil war" would really look like in America (hint: it's nothing like the this year's movie) and how it might come about and how to survive it. His term of choice is "anarcho-tyranny" -- the state remains dominant and strong but also increasingly incompetent and disinterested in protecting most citizens.
It has as much to do with economics and business as anything. And it is important to any kind of disruption, natural or man-made.
If everything falls apart, chisel these letters on the tombstone:
JIT. Just in time.
Any kind of a disruption today is a disaster. Cities in general have maybe a week of supplies. When things go well it is more efficient. When they don't...
Now ask yourself... How many bridges and overpasses line the routes into big cities? You saw what it took LA to reopen that one big freeway after a bunch of bums started a pallet fire under an overpass. Now imagine deliberate acts to bring those things crashing down on the roads below. And how every success will make it harder to reopen anything with the materials at hand.
Then powerlines, substations - we don't have parts in good times. In a "war?" Or the water supply cut off. Or poison in the water.
Now imagine that kind of thing affecting multiple cities all over the country. One success encouraging copycats.
Meanwhile in the distributed countryside...
The mightiest army in the world, or so we are told, smashed Iraq in days. Truth to tell the soldiers took off their kits, hid their weapons, and waited. When the new boss was no better than the old ones they popped back up and humiliated us.
"WE" are a thousand times more prepared. And the rural folk are far tougher. We won't beat the establishment head on. But the establishment will be helpless to beat us. And time will be on our side.
In my travels, I have often found myself marveling at how easy it would be for a relatively small guerilla force to besiege many large American cities. It's actually pretty terrifying.
I do not presume to understand Nietzsche well enough to feel particularly comfortable quoting him in support of an argument, but the best thing I can come up with to say in reply to what you say here, particularly in regards to the assertion you make in your third sentence, is "Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster." And with all due respect, and I mean that, although I cannot adequately convey it in writing in this forum, if you have arrived at a point where you can justify exterminating people on the grounds of their beliefs alone, however dangerous and ill-informed those beliefs may be, then you have, at the very least, lost the plot. Right now, the abyss may seem particularly hard to avoid, it's taunting us, but, please, try to turn your eyes away from it for awhile.
There is a distinction between beliefs and actions.
Destroying people for their beliefs is (almost) always wrong. Evil beliefs should be fought with re-education, better arguments, perhaps criminal sanctions in some cases, but there is always a limit to the consequences for the armchair warrior.
However, when you take actions to promote evil, you've gotten out of your armchair and become a soldier, and soldiers are fair game. Doctors who castrate children are soldiers. Social workers who destroy families are soldiers. Blue-haired kindergarten teachers telling Johnny that he's a girl (and hiding it from his parents) are soldiers. Activists who drum up racial hatred (whether from the Left or the Right) are too. Man-hating feminists in pussy hats are soldiers. As are bankers who close accounts on the basis of politics. Academics who train the next generation to do the same may even be evil soldiers.
I don't fault such people for their beliefs or their desire to drive them forward coercively. They are doing exactly what I'm doing: promoting a society based on their view of "good". I'm not saying you kill such people, but you use every tool at your disposal to remove them from society: pulling their occupational license, levying fines against them, filing lawsuits, charging them with crimes, getting them locked in prison, etc... basically everything the Left current tries to do to us. Evil must be opposed using the power of every institution we can bring to bear against them.
That's the essence of a post-liberal world -- politics is about dueling conceptions of "the good". To win that war, conservatives are going to have to get comfortable with using the power of the state to hurt those who promote evil. Because that's the only institution we can reasonably get control of right now. If we refuse to use the tools we have, we will lose, and America will become a Left-wing, secular-theocracy.
And to add to my point, one thing that never comes up. Do you think those of us fully involved in said revolution are going to be fighting our neighbors, because they are of a particular political bent? No sir. The targets of this revolution sit at the highest levels of power. It is those to be targeted. With prejudice. And no mercy will be shown, no quarter given. There will be no war of attrition. No, we will go full bore to the places they think they are safe, and we will destroy them. And I’m pretty sure those that disagree with these actions, will be silent.
I prefer to call it a revolution. Those pukes on the other side have no fight. And when they see the way the wind blows, where we literally destroy that which affronts us, they will again be sheep, or less.
The statement "America's immigration system is broken" has been made by democrats for the past 20 years and it equals Pontius Pilate statement, where he absolves himself of responsibility for the death of Christ, "what is truth?"
Does the mimetic repetition of the bland and squishy statement, devoid of interest in the implication and consequences of unlimited millions pouring into our country, mean the death of our country?
Well, let me get straight to the point. Math is a complex subject and it is good that people know that it is a complex subject so they know that it's a complex subject.
Haha, Bandit! I think I've listened to too many word salads. She never answers a question. Too many dense mouth droolers think her word salads are pure brilliance. We are living in an Idiocracy.
Nailed it - as usual. "They" - the MSNBC watching, brain dead, hard core climate-religion left want this. They want empty headed vapid nonsense shoved down their throats. They want word salad Karine The Pear out in front of the cameras once a week lying to their faces. They crave ineptitude and insolence. They live for it. And they deserve it. The sad part is, it gets people killed. Everyone goes broke. People who have created businesses and lives lose everything. Communism....Communism never changes. (footnote: America hates it - and Nov 5 can't come soon enough.)
As soon as Harris said "I've personally prosecuted transnational criminal organizations," I stopped the video.
The question was "HOW ARE YOU GOING TO INTEGRATE MIGRANTS INTO SOCIETY, WITH HOW MUCH IN SUBSIDIES, AND FOR HOW LONG, AND WHO WILL PAY FOR THEM?"
It wasn't "What's one of the handful of campaign lines you repeat OVER AND OVER?"
But her main goal on the public stage is to act out the rituals that prove she belongs to the group that values those rituals. If she were to talk normally, she'd be called out by people who won't talk normally for fear of being called out.
You're right, the Dems in 1992 had some decent folks running. Paul Tsongas was all-in on nuclear power and Bob Kerrey had an impressive war record. But they picked Bubba instead. Sad.
This is an insult to Brezhnev, comrade. Despite the senility of Biden and the alcoholism of Harris, he was still much smarter than them. Kamala’s campaign and Joe’s cognitive decline cover up are slow motion Chernobyls.
Yuri, most rocks, or lumps of frozen horse shit, are much smarter than either of 'them'.
That’s faint praise for our 3 horses & 2 miniature donkeys…. 🤣
My apologies to your beasties.
I'm sure they contribute their share to the world supply of pond hockey pucks and goal markers. And that which passes for brains of many candidates for office.
🙌
Amen, AndyinBC!
Hahaha. Have to agree about Brezhnev. Despite an infinite number of jokes about Brezhnev in Soviet folklore, his mental condition and inability to speak coherently were likely caused by abuse of and addiction to drugs his doctors prescribed excessively. According to those who knew him intimately, he was an intelligent man and was not unkind. Biden and Harris exist on a different plane.
Seconded. Leonid Brezhnev fought for all four years of the Great Patriotic War (WW2) and was a Major-General when the war ended.
Not many other politicians of any nation that can claim that.
Careful! You may get tarred as a lover of Soviet despots by the same people who endlessly scream “Hitler! Hitler!! HITLER!!!!”
That would be hypocrisy personified for downstream disciples of Leninism to complain about Soviet praise. I vaguely remember a movie where a crazed gangster spun around 2-3 times while firing a machine gun. Reminds me strongly of modern Leftists.
Some truth to that
Let's face it, Harris wouldn't even win in Chernobyl. Even the four eyed fish and half-witted mutants would pass on her.
How about some coke to Kamala’s routine??
guessing they have her on the same stuff her boss is on
Don’t denigrate drug abusers by blaming Harris’ idiocy and maladministration on drugs.

That is funny
And why, ostensibly, is half the country not able to see this? That’s the truly scary part.
They are, like Harris, a product of the same culture.
Makes me wonder how this happened. I feel culturally estranged.
Just take a gram of soma and that feeling will glide away.
Maybe the soma was in the vaccines.
I found this really illuminating. Read the original article linked within first. Lyons’ response is quite good as well.

I loved the reference. And considering Walz's affection for China, the Dems may have nominated two.
The only problem I have with that is that it's already a stretch to try to fit Kamala into the plot of the movie given that in the movie "the candidate" does not refer to either of its fictional prospective presidential candidates but rather to one of the brainwashed members of the lost brigade. If you add in Walz, then you might as well rewrite the movie as a postmodern mash up: The Manchurian Candidate goes Through The Looking Glass, and the whole deck of cards gets upended. Which seems about right.
Kamala seems like she's a pod person from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I think Walz may be The Manchurian Candidate. We are jiving, of course.

It's not only funny, it's incredibly true!
And she was awarded the functional equivalent of The Medal of Honor without anyone quite understanding why.
I want to see the Kamala Jeopardy game. The host plays her answer and the contestants have to guess the question.
When I have stumbled across her answering a question that was not in the reel, I was completely baffled as to what she was asked.

One of their greatest weaknesses is that most all of them are stupid.
Indeed “Death of Stalin” is a great movie Danny…I’ve watched it twice!
Me, too, but that was a couple of years ago. I might watch it again this weekend. Need more laughs these days.

It takes time to undo a landslide.
Bingo
They can't "count" the D votes until they know how many they're going to need.
(After all possible R votes are in!)
Some smaller counties report complete results overnight. OK, we are larger, but certainly 5 days should be easily possible for complete, verifiable US election results.

Right. What kind of idiot would plan a simulation like this on Election Day? I propose, someone who is not an idiot at all. Hinky.
It’s a question of will not desire.
It would take suicidal commitment personally among many persons not renowned for courage or nerve who are leaderless to see through a successful fraud, and sufficient force to enforce their verdict after, they are leaderless, cowardly and have no forces they can trust.
What is happening is dissolution, not election.
And Keith what’s this I’ve read about midwit Governor Cox not having valid signatures? Is a scandal brewing there?
It’s a feature of regency democracy, elect a babbling cipher figurehead, and the party rules behind the scenes.

Perhaps what's more dangerous than a wounded caged animal is an impotent caged animal?
I think most of their tantrums are because they will no longer be able to disguise ideological uniformity as cultural diversity.

And with all due respect, and I mean that, although I cannot adequately convey it in writing in this forum, if you have arrived at a point where you can justify exterminating people on the grounds of their beliefs alone, however dangerous and ill-informed those beliefs may be, then you have, at the very least, lost the plot. Right now, the abyss may seem particularly hard to avoid, it's taunting us, but, please, try to turn your eyes away from it for awhile.
There is a distinction between beliefs and actions.
Destroying people for their beliefs is (almost) always wrong. Evil beliefs should be fought with re-education, better arguments, perhaps criminal sanctions in some cases, but there is always a limit to the consequences for the armchair warrior.
However, when you take actions to promote evil, you've gotten out of your armchair and become a soldier, and soldiers are fair game. Doctors who castrate children are soldiers. Social workers who destroy families are soldiers. Blue-haired kindergarten teachers telling Johnny that he's a girl (and hiding it from his parents) are soldiers. Activists who drum up racial hatred (whether from the Left or the Right) are too. Man-hating feminists in pussy hats are soldiers. As are bankers who close accounts on the basis of politics. Academics who train the next generation to do the same may even be evil soldiers.
I don't fault such people for their beliefs or their desire to drive them forward coercively. They are doing exactly what I'm doing: promoting a society based on their view of "good". I'm not saying you kill such people, but you use every tool at your disposal to remove them from society: pulling their occupational license, levying fines against them, filing lawsuits, charging them with crimes, getting them locked in prison, etc... basically everything the Left current tries to do to us. Evil must be opposed using the power of every institution we can bring to bear against them.
That's the essence of a post-liberal world -- politics is about dueling conceptions of "the good". To win that war, conservatives are going to have to get comfortable with using the power of the state to hurt those who promote evil. Because that's the only institution we can reasonably get control of right now. If we refuse to use the tools we have, we will lose, and America will become a Left-wing, secular-theocracy.
And to add to my point, one thing that never comes up. Do you think those of us fully involved in said revolution are going to be fighting our neighbors, because they are of a particular political bent? No sir. The targets of this revolution sit at the highest levels of power. It is those to be targeted. With prejudice. And no mercy will be shown, no quarter given. There will be no war of attrition. No, we will go full bore to the places they think they are safe, and we will destroy them. And I’m pretty sure those that disagree with these actions, will be silent.
no need for us to do much except wait for the covid shot to take its toll https://lionessofjudah.substack.com/p/shocking-government-report-admits
I prefer to call it a revolution. Those pukes on the other side have no fight. And when they see the way the wind blows, where we literally destroy that which affronts us, they will again be sheep, or less.
The statement "America's immigration system is broken" has been made by democrats for the past 20 years and it equals Pontius Pilate statement, where he absolves himself of responsibility for the death of Christ, "what is truth?"
Does the mimetic repetition of the bland and squishy statement, devoid of interest in the implication and consequences of unlimited millions pouring into our country, mean the death of our country?
Yup. But… how would they know it’s “broken?” They’ve never tried it…
LOVE your avatar!!!
Kamala, can you tell me what 2+2 equals?
Well, let me get straight to the point. Math is a complex subject and it is good that people know that it is a complex subject so they know that it's a complex subject.
"Mm-kaaay?"
Proceeds to cackle....
You've got that down pat, Blair! I'd say "good job," but it's kinda scary. 😳😱 😉😊😋
Haha, Bandit! I think I've listened to too many word salads. She never answers a question. Too many dense mouth droolers think her word salads are pure brilliance. We are living in an Idiocracy.
You're dead on with that! It also kinda makes you understand how Fetterman got elected. 🤔😳😱
Yeah, no kidding.
"Madam Vice-President, do you like Almond Joy bars? Thank you for asking, Rick, I have always believed that we must think carefully about goats."
Chris, darn you, I snorted my tea again. You're giving me a drinking problem. I have to remember not to read you while consuming any food.
Nailed it - as usual. "They" - the MSNBC watching, brain dead, hard core climate-religion left want this. They want empty headed vapid nonsense shoved down their throats. They want word salad Karine The Pear out in front of the cameras once a week lying to their faces. They crave ineptitude and insolence. They live for it. And they deserve it. The sad part is, it gets people killed. Everyone goes broke. People who have created businesses and lives lose everything. Communism....Communism never changes. (footnote: America hates it - and Nov 5 can't come soon enough.)
As soon as Harris said "I've personally prosecuted transnational criminal organizations," I stopped the video.
The question was "HOW ARE YOU GOING TO INTEGRATE MIGRANTS INTO SOCIETY, WITH HOW MUCH IN SUBSIDIES, AND FOR HOW LONG, AND WHO WILL PAY FOR THEM?"
It wasn't "What's one of the handful of campaign lines you repeat OVER AND OVER?"
But her main goal on the public stage is to act out the rituals that prove she belongs to the group that values those rituals. If she were to talk normally, she'd be called out by people who won't talk normally for fear of being called out.
You're right, the Dems in 1992 had some decent folks running. Paul Tsongas was all-in on nuclear power and Bob Kerrey had an impressive war record. But they picked Bubba instead. Sad.
