Decline of the Empire

Same As It Ever Was

The crazies have been tearing down statues lately.

They started with slaveholders, moved on to presidents, and now they're tearing down abolitionists who fought and sometimes died fighting slavery. Their next targets are Lincoln (freed the slaves) and Jesus (too white).

All of this is being done in name of virtue and assumed moral superiority.

Throughout human history, political evil always presents itself as virtuous and morally superior. If humans who are currently not so crazy could even understand this one simple thing, all would be made clear to them. These people, the ones who are willing to live and let live, would know what to do to prevent the great suffering to come. 

Unfortunately, humans generally have the awareness of a box of rocks. This is especially true of the crazies but applies to nearly everybody. Most humans can be hoodwinked by a moral tautology ("Black Lives Matter"). 

Even before indoor plumbing and cheap energy from fossil fuels, most human suffering was self-inflicted. That clearly hasn't changed and never will. It's not the virus, dummy. It's you, it's us. More specifically, it was recently those who exploited the pandemic for their own evil purposes. As always, harming you was framed as being for your own good.

Evil is always entirely self-serving and wants only one thing for itself—great and arbitrary power. This allows it to carry out atrocities on a whim in order to constantly remind us of its power over us. There goes Lincoln. There goes Jesus. There goes your neighbor. There you go too.

In 2020, the new evil says that human history, here the history of people with white skin, is full of evil people (Jefferson owned slaves).

In reality, all humans at all times have been and are deeply flawed. That is Human Nature. So the new evil will never run out of targets. Thus the new evil can justify itself over and over again without limit.

The new evil says Human Nature doesn't exist. All things are possible says the new evil. The new things will be good things according to the new evil.

The new evil says that history will be fixed. We will be delivered from the old evil because for the first time in human history genuine virtue and moral superiority have truly appeared. The new evil assures us that we will enter a Promised Land where strife and suffering are abolished. The new evil promises a Utopia.

But of course Utopia does not and can not exist outside the deluded minds of the new evil (the crazies).

Cast from the same mold, the new evil merely replaces the old evil. Thus the horrible and pathetic historical cycle repeats.

Human Nature is not changed. Human history is not changed. We just get a new chapter in a very, very old story. Only the meaningless details change. Once again humans are the cause of most of their own suffering. Only the scale of our self-defeat changes when the crazies take over.

Same as it ever was.

Listen To This

The fascists are still doing the things that fascists do. They will never stop until "normal" people stand up to them. These neo-fascists are like The Terminator.

Listen. Understand. That Terminator is out there. It can't be reasoned with, it can't be bargained with...it doesn't feel pity of remorse or fear...and it absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until you are dead.

Tim knows this, but he doesn't think regular Americans will stand up to them (and neither do I). Because modern humans generally and Americans in particular are very well domesticated. Thus they are spineless, are abject cowards. Modern humans wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes in the paleolithic environment of 40,000  years ago. As an e-mail correspondent said to me about modern life, "you could sleepwalk through it."

And that's what people have done until very recently without penalty. Things have changed. Now there's going to be a big price to be paid.

Tim has been warning people for many years now about the kind of evil fascist threat we're seeing everyday from the big globalist corporations, from the Democrats those corporations own, from the entertainment industry those corporations own, and from the mainstream media those corporations own. It's a class war against you.

Tim is not filtering anything here. He knows what's coming.

Listen to this. Start at about 17:30 for the short version. The part I want you to hear goes from there until almost the 24:00 mark.

Moral Hypocrisy And The Political Crisis

Most of the people I watch on YouTube spend a lot of time calling out moral hypocrisy in those they are criticizing. Let's first try to define moral hypocrisy and then talk about how it relates to the current, urgent political crisis in the United States (here and here). 

Moral Hypocrisy — saying or doing something in one context and then saying or doing something else in another context which contradicts what was said or done in the first; in both contexts the thing said or done expresses a moral preference, but the two preferences expressed are incompatible.

I trust that definition is clear to you. In the definition above, clearly the contexts matter. In the cases I'm interested in, the contexts are political (i.e., they are tribal) and the hypocrite in question is a member of one tribe and not another. This hypocrite expresses a moral preference undermining the opposing tribe in one context and subsequently expresses a moral preference supporting his own tribe in the other context. This is an extremely common behavior, as countless YouTube videos on the subject attest.

In 2006, When Mike Judge Made Idiocracy...

... a film in which 500 hundred years in the future America is run by low-grade morons, he got the timing all wrong. 

In reality, in 2006 that future was only 14 years away.

We're In Serious Trouble

Here's a follow-up to A Clear And Present Danger (June 10, 2020).

In that post I included a Tucker Carlson video. Carlson, along with Tim Pool, are two mainstays opposing the fascist threat in the United States. Tim Pool has a report today talking about the escalating attempts to destroy Tucker Carlson (video below).

This is a beautiful example of just the kind of threat I was talking about in yesterday's post. Disney, T-Mobile and others are pulling their advertising support for Tucker's nightly show, which is the most viewed show on TV cable news. As Tim notes, this is a blatant attempt to shut Tucker down again, and Tim even asserts his belief that "Tucker Carlson is not long for this world." 

Maybe these corporate pricks will successfully shut Tucker down, but that is precisely the threat to civil liberties (free speech) I was talking about yesterday, isn't it? This is the danger we must try to avoid.

A Clear And Present Danger

Think of this post as me doing you Americans a favor. You're welcome.

I don't know what you think you know or what you do not know, but I am confident that the vast, vast majority of you don't know much. Now, I could provide reams of observation and analysis to back up everything I'm about to say, but there's no time or need for that.

So let's cut to the chase. When I tell you things below, just take my word for it. I'll keep this short.

There is a fascist infestation in America. When I say "fascist" I mean ruthless authoritarians who will stop at nothing to attain power over you and control your life in any way they see fit. Got it? These people might as well be Nazis, and if you allow them to take over this once great country, that fascism will be in your face and then it will be too late to do anything about it.
