Conservative Folly
Rambling, somewhat disjointed thoughts on getting it together to take back America from woke trans globalists
The left in America and the West generally is ascendant. All things trans/woke is taking over the West, it has skillfully used and is transforming the law to deconstruct the law, to make the law an idol to bludgeon their enemies and perceived enemies with. There is no limit to the trans/woke whim or the will to power, and no check on the authoritarian impulse (every human has both). Living peacefully together is not an option (evidently), nothing less than turning America into a trans/woke technocratic aristocracy of the oppressed will suffice. America will be an androgynee/eunuch/eugenicist/pederast/midwit utopia, and you will accept it or you will be the new and permanent underclass without rights, laboring to your death in the proverbial killing fields.
I jest, but not really, because it isn’t really funny. But then, if I have been ruthless in my measure of the left, I can’t very well give the Republican establishment and conservatives generally a free pass. The stakes are too high. With the Federal indictment of Trump we have entered a much more dangerous time, the dueling narrative of the left and the right are diverging to such a severe degree - the indictment came down the same day the Republicans said they have evidence that Joe Biden received a $5million dollar bribe - both sides see the favorite of the other party for 2024, as hopelessly corrupt beyond redemption, and the party faithful by extension - the situation is now considerably more volatile.
This is my third most read post. At 1,260 reads, that is three times my subscribers and four times my typical read count, which is not anything like viral, but is just about as close as I have come.
Reading through it again, I think it holds up to scrutiny.
How well are conservatives organizing a counter revolution? I know we are encouraged in America to have the memory of goldfish (and the AI will exacerbate that problem), but I’m confident my readers are capable of looking back to the 2022 midterms, in light of the 2024 presidential election - if the reader will indulge me for a few paragraphs.
Republicans should have rolled, they should have won the House and the Senate, by a significant margin. But then someone leaked a memo suggesting the Supreme Court was about to overrule Roe V Wade, and the moment they did, republicans at the state level in several states immediately moved to effectively outlaw abortion. Whatever you think about abortion, tactically that is idiotic. That spooked a lot of independent voters, and probably a few who don’t typically vote, as the leaked memo was supposed to. A lot of people don’t want to trade a Marxist overlord for a religious one - no one likes a zealot.
We still don’t know who released the memo, because the FBI does not want us to know. The identity of the memo is hidden wherever the manifesto of the Nashville trans murderer of Christian school children is, in that black hole that is increasingly the American KGB.
Having spooked America that abortion was about to be made illegal, Republicans campaigned like it was the Reagan revolution and the year was 1979: Crime! Immigration! Inflation! It was like they mistook Biden for Jimmy Carter. Biden is almost as dead as Jimmy Carter and Republicans are still losing to him.
What did Republicans have to say about the previous two years of Covid tyranny, in 2022? It was almost like Covid didn’t happen, even as a majority of Americans were furious about covid policy and how devastating that was to mental health, children, the economy, the Constitution. It was like a conspiracy of silence, as most Republican politicians were more or less complicit with the tyranny, and still are about as recalcitrant as your average covidian expert. Quite literally, doctors and nurses were made to abet murder (covid policy) and we were and are supposed to act like that didn’t happen. But Wuhan! But China! (Shellenberger and Taibbi are getting played by covidian warpigs…)
It is a marvel republicans won the House with even a five vote margin.
Watching Fox News lately, I notice half the talent has a book out about their relationship to Jesus. I bring up Fox News only because it is the preeminent public voice of the Republican establishment, especially after Tucker Carlson was forced out. I have reverence for God, I believe in the power of Christ, I have no faith in Christianity alone to save America from the fate the woke trans globalist has for America and Americans. If Republican elite think they are going to take back America from woke trans globalist delusion, by claiming Jesus is the reason for their rich-and-famous, the Republicans are probably going to lose again to scarecrow Biden, even if he is only propped up in the proverbial garden with a big sound system on repeat, “white supremacy and transphobia are the greatest threats to America!”
Here is scarecrow signaling blowing up the Nordstream pipeline:
Here is scarecrow signaling they are going to blow up Trumps 2024 candidacy
The Democrat establishment laughs and laughs anytime they are called out in their corruption. It is so beneath them, accountability. They can laugh and laugh because conservatives show no sign of deposing them. They laugh and laugh because they are above the law and conservatives seem mostly powerless against it.
Meanwhile, Trump.
Trump’s greatest ability is getting people on the left and quite a few in the republican establishment, to project their darkest authoritarian proclivities on to him. At the same time, his greatest weakness is how he represents the glory of a past that was never going to be an enduring future. Trump represents the spirit of the 80’s-90’s, when we lived as if the global oil well was bottomless, and mountains of Chinese consumer crap flooding the market was like paradise on earth. That was such a naive time, that “Morning in America” between the Reagan revolution and 9/11. Trump became a star then, it represents his golden age, and it seems to me that is where a lot of Americans (white, especially) want to return, even though we can’t. $0.99/gal gas is never coming back. That paradise of 80’s-2023 Chinese consumer crap is moldering in landfills, and while the Dems are obsessed with destroying Russia, the Republican establishment is desperately trying to get the base to go to war against China (one wonders what the big box stores would be filled with, if such a war happened, and how they would assuage consumer sentiment?) (Notice the one mRNA jab these phuckers aren’t proposing is one for protecting against war propaganda.)
I wish conservatives would talk more about honor, fortitude, temperance, justice, virtue, service, diligence, patience, kindness, humility, discipline, dedication, morality, the importance of skills, self-respect and self-determination, the importance of a strong body and mind. Notice, all of these are anathema to the woke, forbidden, words of power that otherwise drive them into the shadows of their narcissism, “it burns! it burns!” Quite frankly, such words seem anathema to most “conservatives”. Instead we complain about how demonic insane the Dems have become, always playing catch-up, constantly outmaneuvered, reactionary mostly. So many people are addicted to whatever in America because of a loss of meaning, because America has become such a mean-spirited but also vapid, spiritually empty place. Maybe I’m being naive, that standing tall for truth and justice and the American way of freedom and self-determination for all, would actually be attractive to Americans, but at least it would make conservatives more attractive generally. Be the change you want to see in the world, right, right? Where are the models of right behavior, who are attractive instead of off-putting prudish or might makes right? For a long time, many conservatives have conflated wealth and moral rectitude, contrary to the life to the Christ they claim to admire. God, guns, gas and the fetus is not a winning election strategy anymore, to herd the masses with.
The Republican cause has been reduced to the folly of late stage empire, like restoring the consumer empire in the name of Jesus is the only way to restore America. If DC is the new Rome, Christian/Secular consumerism the new pagan state religion, the woke/trans are like the new visigoths, who will deconstruct the empire until a peasant one day herds his goats across the National Mall.
The hedonic denizens of DC and the barbarian visigoth woke trans are my enemies. America was meant to be a nation for those who wanted to build a life free from the whim of the King, landed gentry and the institution of Church as State - but also free from the plundering mob. America has turned the president into a de-facto King, oligarchs of corporations and private equity like landed gentry have effectively captured the State, media have become like the new Church where we are educated in the Faith, while the State and Media inflame the visigoths to burn/ruin cities for Social Justice! and Climate Change! Meanwhile the visigoth woke trans don’t want to burn the empire down as much as they want to control it, that they might rid the world of anyone who would disagree with them.
So what then are we to conserve? If to be a conservative is to conserve “that which has stood the test of time,” what is to be conserved of the consumer empire that America has become? Is there much about empire America worth conserving? What of hedonic DC and visgoth trans/woke is truly American? I would argue there is nothing truly American about the technocratic globalist panopticon the Federal government is becoming, or the postmodern visigoth social justice zealot. The centralization of all-power in the hands of a few or the rule of the mob is utterly contrary to the spirit of America, not worth conserving at all, to be certain.
The diabolical genius of the consumer empire is in convincing people they can have whatever they want whenever they want it. What can possibly compete with the concept of unlimited consumption? What is possibly going to be more attractive and desirable to Americans than the ability to buy cheap, plastic consumer crap whenever they want it? What is possibly going to be more attractive and desirable than streaming media programming until death without end?
That seems the great challenge for conservatives, not to simply be a contrary to the ascendant left, not retreating into a comfortable consumer Christianity, but to redefine what it is to be American while retaining the freedom of Americans to determine their own life. Charles Haywoood thinks the Age of Law is over, we are returning to an Age of Iron, but must pass through an Age of Lead. He presumes, like not a few others, that the only solution is the total destruction of the current elite, with force. But the use of force is like fire and once that fire starts it is likely to consume much more than the elite; American society is a tinderbox of indignation, resentment and grievance these days.
I’m more water than fire. Sometimes, I know, you need a controlled burn, to rejuvenate the prairie, but you have to have ample water ready and the means to disperse it, should the wind pick up and spread that fire in a direction you do not want it to go. A good controlled burn is a circle, the fire is drawn toward the center, the fire gathers momentum until it explodes in the center in towering whirlwinds of flame, and then the fire has consumed everything it can and is extinguished without the need for water.
I suppose I am speaking now in riddles - what with some writers I admire, Mark Bisone, Naomi Wolf and John Michael Greer beginning to talk about some malevolent force unleashed upon the world, especially the last seven years, that has turned so much of the left into a kind of death cult. What sort of energy feeds on the reproductive body parts of children, makes doctors and nurses sterilize, castrate and kill patients (covid policy), that courts nuclear Armageddon in Ukraine, that embraces energy and food policy that is effectively genocidal, while asserting that the rights of men to publicly assert their fetish to dress up like women means women no longer exist are no longer allowed to assert themselves, then sexualizing children in preschool while attempting to normalize minor attraction pederasty, asserting then criminals are not criminals because they are oppressed, but if the victim fights back he is a criminal, unless the criminal is a white male and the victim is minority or trans?
I’m pretty sure lead nor iron nor fire will suffice to destroy that.
Obviously, I don’t have all the answers, how we overcome this demonic woke trans globalist push to destroy America and commit genocide against humanity in the name of Climate Change! and Social Justice! But I’m pretty sure the answer is not more oil, more money, more war. I build gardens and orchards in part because it is an end times of a sort, my relationship to God is important to me if it is not specifically Christian in it’s outline, this is a beautiful, magical, mysterious world after all and I make change by first changing myself and my circumstances. Most Americans do not want to be subsumed in any collective, not least of all a demonic one that seeks to destroy America. Most Americans would like America to be a kinder, gentler, cleaner more healthy place.
Conservatives I think need to simplify, return to first principles, strengthen the core and get focused. Cut back on media consumption, high fructose corn syrup, refined sugars, grains, alcohol and seed oils, for a start. Be vigorous. Stop letting Dems define conservatives and define ourselves.
But now I am just lecturing and that is enough for now.
You still believe in the left-right paradigm? After what happened with Covid?
Authoritarians are my enemy. I don't care if they call themselves liberal, woke, Marxist or conservative. Same breed of busybodies wanting to control everyone and everything around them.
The concept of revolution maintains a rotational circular pattern, that said the snake is ultimately eating its own tail like the ouroboros…the eventual rotation from left to right, within the confines of that paradigm is practically inevitable. Take a drive in a car and make 3 left turns on a city block and the result is that one is heading in the right direction. Counter to that concept the results are virtually the same. The close relation of revolution and evolution as popular terminology reiterates this conception.
A determinology rather than perpetuating the phenomena, reveals this truth and presents us with the reality that we don’t necessarily have to go left or right, and we certainly should not become fixated on a particular direction within the current state, rather orient ourselves independent from the whirled.
