Democrats/liberals are going to rue the day they injected themselves with the Crit Theory brain virus.
I get it, it feels so good at first to be blissed out on gnostic wisdom, to learn a few new magic words and phrases that promise to catalpult you to the top of Mt. Morality, to be born again in the same ideology as all those cool bluehaired kids, to learn that if you just constantly proclaim your love of the marginalized and hatred of the Nazi fascist bigots all doors will open and a heavenly light shall shine down upon you.
But, as we can see, a few years pass and what once seemed like a cool new worldview becomes rigid prison bars inside your brain that make it impossible to think or speak clearly, to do anything but spout stale slogans and throw infantile tantrums at the first sign of disagreement, and worst of all: the words coming out of your mouth that strike you as so brilliant and edgy only sound like deranged gibberish to anyone outside your cult.
Tell ME how this ends! Our entire ruling class has overdosed on a toxic brain poison that turns them into malevolent crackheads, and it's only getting worse.
Best description for Creature Newsom I've read. I am so fatigued with these self appointed ghouls...such infestation. I may start wearing garlic and carry holy water.
The sopoforic dullness of these empty suits is an affectation, so common within the managerial class that it defines them. It's a form of camouflage. By lulling everyone who hears them into a baffled, vaguely irritated sleep, they move their agendas forward while minimizing the resistance they'd encounter if they were more direct about their goals.
Similar thing when they tell stupid lies or just play dumb in response to questions that have obvious answers they everyone knows. Is it infuriating? Sure. Does everyone know they're lying? Yep. Can anyone do anything about it, at least before they move the ball forward in the space opened by their refusal to engage? Not so long as there are no alternatives, and since the entire managerial class is in on it - there aren't.
This shit will continue until tarring and feathering becomes a thing again. So long as the arena remains purely linguistic/symbolic, we're fighting on their home turf, and trying to wrestle with smoke and squid ink. But these zombies are not accustomed to physical confrontation - when that starts, they'll fold like the soggy cardboard they're made of.
Six more months in this California hell hole. I have yet to see any Florida plates in my area, but it seems like I am saying goodbye to friends monthly that are leaving here.
Great take on the human tripe that passes for political leadership in the West today. You are a true artist with your descriptions: "There's an emptiness to them that's universal and unvarying, like someone is programming different facial features onto a single governing hologram. There's nothing there. They're authoritarians, they're profoundly destructive, and they're so dull you can barely keep your eyes open to look at them." Absolutely brilliant wording! Reading your articles, I am routinely reminded of that line from Alexander Pope: "What has oft been said, but never so well expressed."

I can't add to this.
Rutte is blaming the farmers' protest on, get this, an obscure faction of the trucker's convoy in Canada called Diagalon. Few of us ever heard of them. They're almost mystical.
These people in power are empty-headed, predictable windbags with kernels of corn wedged into their brains like shit.
The problem is they're indeed dangerous and destructive.
Gideon van Meijeren is one a tiny handful of parliamentarians in the Netherlands who functions as true opposition. Not surprisingly he and his Party, Forum for Democracy, are relentlessly demonized as nutcases, extremists, even crypto-fascists, naturally by idiots waving Ukrainian flags. Mark Rutte is a piece of work, and I think it is wrong to characterize him as simply yet another WEF-marionette; it's a bit more complex than that. I've just put up this commentary on my Substack: https://cbrace.substack.com/p/who-is-mark-rutte
Newsom is indeed a gasbag, but the reason he thinks he can take the Democratic Party's nomination is fairly simple: he seems like a normal, masculine adult white male in demeanor and presentation. Such are in short supply in his party. Almost every Democratic party male seems slightly off by traditional standards. Newsom, however, resembles Mitt Romney. He looks polished, confident, relaxed, masculine and normal. He looks at least superficially like a good boss. He also looks rich, private schooly, never-had-a-problem-in-my-life, etc. So for the Democrats, he is an ideal compromise. He mouths the Woke line (and probably believes half of it) in every respect, and was willing to destroy California's entire economy if necessary to "flatten the curve," but he looks like a traditional male.
“Gavin Newsom is some clothes with a bag of skin and fluids inside them, a thing of no substance at all. He’s a breast implant with a mouth.”
“It’s like we’re governed by really nasty and hateful jars of paste.”
🤣🤣🤣
I know I’ve mentioned this before, but you are rivaling Charlie Brooker’s “people-shaped things” epithet.
P.S. I bloody love Gideon van Meijeren and featured that searing clip in this piece:
• “Letter to Governor Ron DeSantis” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-governor-ron-desantis)

Only Thermidor can save us now...

These are all vacuous alumni of the Klaus Schwab Finishing School for Global Elite Resetters, so they draw from the same bag of propaganda tricks.
Excellent and insightful commentary, too bad for humanity you are 100% on the money

And they're not loyal to their countries.
Don't hold back, Chris! 🤣
"He’s a breast implant with a mouth." - only one, among many classic slams in this piece, all well aimed & deserved.

Wow I'm so glad you came to my attention. Fantastic prose!
The clip of DeSantis’s laugh when asked about this ad is priceless. Not quite as priceless as these descriptions, but maybe close.
I’ll never look at Smarmy Newsom the same. 😂

That why is imperative that we must be awake and not accept this tyranny, whatsoever.
