Niccolo Soldo nailed it when he said that the genius of the Great American Empire (GAE) is its ability to coopt and commoditize literally anything and turn it into massive profits for its own ruling class. Here we go again! Wokeness decries colonialism (white people are frequently disparagingly labeled "colonizers") while repackaging colonialism into anti-colonialist, pro-gender equality, rainbow-flag waving economic colonialism. The GAE elites are like a magician that steals a rabbit from your coop, then makes the stolen rabbit magically appear out of his hat, and then sells your own rabbit back to you after charging you admission to his magic show. Pure profits for the GAE elite, without anything real ever being produced by them, and us rubes get to pay for it. As Yakov Smirnov used to say, "What a country!"

"Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for YOUR sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples. Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty? Jones would come back! Yes, Jones would come back! Surely, comrades," cried Squealer almost pleadingly"

People gonna drown themselves, it can't be helped.

So why continue to enable them by allowing our own wealth, health, and happiness be in their control? There's no viable reason I can see for continuing to support a corrupt, vicious group of people to lord over us, steal us blind, take over everything, and turn us into slaves. Fuck that. Right? Am I right. End the Fed, end the Fed Govt, stop handing over our power and our wealth and they can all go throw themselves to the crocodiles. We don't have to play this game. They come to steal our land, commodify our fishing holes, we meet them with thousands of armed citizens. WE are the standing Militia. Second Amendment.

Saying we are the standing militia which by correct reading of 2A as collective duty , and by statute 10USC.S246 unorganized militia- all males not in military service.

> saying and doing 2 different things. Well regulated meant organized trained supplied leadership and above all WILL, which ain’t happening.

Your money and your personal stake and interests come first, last, always this is YOU 🇺🇸.

But don’t worry, elites are defecting to 🇺🇸 AND unlike the precious AR owners are organizing, indeed organized.

As for enough is enough amirite LMAO 🤣 it’s enough if elites say it’s enough. HOWEVER, your chance may come , and when and IF something moves THEN get behind it , CUZ if it Fails THEN we are all DEAD, including everyone reading this... yes, I’m serious. OTOH Dead anyway. So cheer up and pitch in, as the Russians said in WW2 dying is easier when you’re not alone.

Merry Christmas.

Any people but especially more guns than hands - yes, literally Americans have more guns than hands - any people who endure this deserve it.

If you take it you deserve it.

Do you ever sleep? How do you find all this stuff? By reading many Substacks and aggregators with real news like Revolver and CFP, I like to delude myself in thinking that I am somewhat knowledgeable as to what is going on in the world. You amaze me with what you find. Thank you. Someone has to do it.

Thank you for sharing this stinking load of crap with us. I’m sick and tired of all this phony rhetoric that’s used to exploit vulnerable people in order to further enrich and empower big corporations, which have grown so huge that they’ve so much power they’re practically unstoppable. They actually ARE stoppable, but most folks just won’t push back. I’m afraid that I have zero hope to depend upon Congress to do the right thing, about anything. They’re all bought and paid for.

So instead of Chinese bot farms.....they just can't let go, can they?

Expand full comment

That's how I read this: the bot farms aren't working, and maybe China's not cooperating like they were. That's all mildly good news.

Nothing is accidental.

It’s worse than you imagine.

It’s been this way longer than you realize.

But they will stumble and collapse. They always do. No empire lasts forever. In the meantime, illegitimus non carborundum.

Well Chris, you don't expect Big Tech to censor you FOR FREE do you? Uncle Sam has to give them SOMETHING.

Seriously though, until I got to the end I thought they were gonna be tech support. So, I thought they would be indecipherable tech support which no one has ever wanted. Instead they will be working to shut me up, which a lot of people want, with some legitimacy. So, yay I guess.

Didn’t we do this exact thing 30 - 40 years ago with China? Now China is eating our lunch and, because it has out tech giants by the tit, we have to find other countries to exploit. As soon as I saw the debacle of Apple turning off the protesters’ AirDrop for the Chinese gov’t, I knew we had out-stayed our welcome. And I don’t think it took 48 hours for Apple to announce, front page of the WSJ, they were going to outsource to India.

Where are the men? The so called opportunity should be marketed as such; “Ladies in poor countries do anything but mother a family. You do not need men. You do not need children. You just need to rely on big foreign corporations to provide you with paychecks.” Any Christian parent knows that mothering children is the single most important responsibility befallen God’s children. Without it we cease to exist. Without quality mothering we struggle as a society. Without quality fathers our society is depraved. Mothers!! What you do is miraculous and valuable beyond any measure. To believe that any corporation can provide mothers with a position of equal weight to mothering is sinister and grossly absurd. Family!!! There is no substitute! The badge of motherhood, there is no greater honor. Ask any son or daughter of any women who lived up to the title of “Mother.”

John Kenneth Galbraith argued that industrial societies always need an underclass to do the shit work, and preferably that underclass can't just up and earn their way into the middle classes. Otherwise you have to go looking for a new underclass.

Thanks to the wonders of the internet, this particular kind of shit work can be exported around the world, plus we get to pretend that some poor Malaysian grandma earning a penny per button-push is being empowered.
