When Atlas Takes A Coffee Break

Nov 29

As you guys know I might have a few opinions. Couple hundred. And while I'm often in doubt and often in error, there as some things that get under my skin in a way you can't even begin to imagine.

Lately, everywhere, I've been listening about how the problems in America is because we're trying to maintain our place at the top of the unipolar world.

Honestly, I hadn't heard unipolar at all in news media or opinion pieces since my brother's cohort was lamenting that "the good guys lost" the cold war. Now all of a sudden, it's everywhere, from right to left, from top to bottom, as though released from above with the good old "journolist" hose. All of a sudden supply problems is that "America's decay" (I swear this is mandatory once per article) makes the "unipolar world" no longer possible. Russia's militaristic bullshit, and the Junta pseudo-sending-Ukraine money (but really just embezzling it) is because America is willing to risk nuclear war to "maintain the unipolar world" and China's troubles are because America can't stand to have rivals and wants to maintain the "unipolar world."

So was word sent from above to pound the drums of "unipolar"? I don't know. It's possible. Brandon's Junta is such a hot mess that having a college kiddie decide that this weird desire for a "unipolar world" is the worst thing EVAH and we need more diversity in power int he world, or something.

I know it suits the cursed race of the Brandonites that we should think America is in decline, and that we were only prosperous and free because of our "militaristic attitudes". It suits them because then we won't notice what is going on with them and what they're doing more or less in the open to destroy us.

It's like they're holding our heads underwater and telling us it's the floods.

Unfortunately for them the strategy of "if you hold America down, the rest of the world will rise" is working about as well as all their other strategies. (Seen this weekend from a military desk pilot "The truth is that diversity is strength. It's a scientific fact." That's about as scientific as the the idea that the sun circles the Earth or that the Earth "has a fever".

In fact what we're seeing is not the unipolar (there are you happy I used the word?) Atlas, holding up the world and modern civilization being forced by bean counters to step away for a coffee break. And the rest of the world losing its mind, structure and wealth as a consequence.

Let's be perfectly clear, not only is the world unipolar but it has been unipolar for a far longer time than any of these lackabrains can figure out. There was never a bipolar world during the cold war. There was a unipolar world pretending to be a bipolar one. Thanks to our own commie simps and pudding heads, we actively propped up the Soviet Union by feeding it, and not slapping it down as it so richly deserved. They had nothing. They were driving long pipes around on trucks to pretend they had missiles, and our commie simps, pudding heads and the CIA (BIRM) bought everything they were selling, and cowered with fear, and tried to convince us to get rid of our own arsenal and kneel in submission to the brutal commies so the world could live.

They're still trying to do it. That's what this unipolar and "decaying America" bullshit (with cream of bullshit on top) is all about.

The commies are gone. Fascists rule China, but that's coming untangled too. And the socialists in Europe are freezing in the dark, but our fraking commie simps, pudding heads, and the federal bureaucracy are trying to kneel to them and give them power they couldn't use if they had it.

They're acting as if Reagan hadn't taken a sharp pin to the balloon of gaseous bullshit they'd been spinning for years and revealed that there was no great USSR behind the curtain of nonsense. Worse, they're acting as if Russia -- all that remains of the USSR -- hadn't shat itself in public over the last year, and weren't busily wiping its excrement-covered hands to the global walls in front of everyone. They talk about China being ascendant, as though we hadn't known what happened the last time the original Mao -- not the Winnie the Xi facsimile -- was doing this "we Stronk" bullshit. Well, maybe they don't know that millions starved in China and that the country was destroyed as though by an enemy (Which arguably it was. The voices in Mao's head were no one's friend.) They are the type of airy fairy bullshiter that were telling us back in the seventies that China would conquer the world, and which made me study Mao's execrable "poetry" (ransom notes have more style) in school. (The only good thing about Mao's poetry is that it was better than Samora Machel's, which they also made us study. Note this is praising with loud damns.)

Now, is America in the greatest of shapes? No. But we're not doing badly for a country whose institutions of learning, government, and to a great extent economy have been captured by a cabal of their enemies.

Yes, we're buckling under the Brandonites decision not to let us drill for gas, or buy from relatively friendly countries. And the amount of cash that the bloated communist carcasses of the Junta are swallowing as they swell to blimp-like proportions is putting what was until relatively recently trivial expenses -- like meat for the table -- into the realm of near-unreachable for a lot of us. (I went grocery shopping between this morning's post and this.) Black Friday was black indeed, with a lot of people window shopping but few buying, and I'm trying to boost the business of a lot of friends who are hurting a lot of worse than we are.

We are relatively okay, even if losing ground, of course. Who isn't? But writing, particularly escapist writing, is a counter-recessionary industry. People buy more of it as things get worse. Yes, we end up having to do things like putting all our stuff on Amazon if the readers can only borrow from KU not buy. (I'm working on a work around via my newsletter and book funnel. But I have to know how much I'm producing regularly before then. Because, see, my newsletter is with substack, which means I can have subscription levels, and allow the subscribers to get a book funnel link to download what I produce that year -- but I need to know how much that will be (roughly) so I know what to charge. This past year wasn't great, but I'm picking up. Anyway, I should know by January.) But we won't starve. (And the only ones who object to escapism are those who want everyone in jail.) However, we have family and friends who will need our help -- already need our help -- and our ability isn't infinite.

So America is going to have a rough, rough winter.

And yet, with all that, we're probably the only semi-functional economy in the world. And we've been for a long time. As bad an infestation of commie simps, pudding heads, academics and deep staters (BI DEFINITELY RM) as we have, the other countries have it worse. As much as our elites don't recognize reality, every other country (except maybe some very tiny ones) is markedly worse.

Unipolar? Well, no shit Sherlock. When Russia can't invade its own backyard, and China is attempting (in vain) to occupy itself and Western Europe is freezing and starving itself to appease a frigging autistic Swedish teen.

Here's the thing the Brandonites and their ilk don't get: the US isn't the "sole power" of the "Unipolar" world because it wants to. It doesn't get in fights because it wants to -- although the left's tendency to use the armed forces for world building (and by left in this case I include a lot of the soft-left that flies under the GOP) and general attempts at charity doesn't help -- but because as the sole functional (for values of functional) country we have everyone's hand against us. And if we didn't prop up these 'Threats' and 'enemies' -- if we actually and for real went in, broke their shit and told them not to make us do it again -- we'd sacrifice fewer of our boys and be more clearly the sole power. (Which frankly would only be sane.)

I mean, what do they want instead? A world of fighting slave states, stateless bandits, and demi-savage shitholes, with everyone's hand against everyone else?

Don't answer that. These shitweasels (apologies to shitweasels everywhere) think that if everyone is fighting everyone else, they get to rule. Yes, I know Machiaveli said "divide and conquer" but Machievali assumed the conquerors had half a functional brain to use. They weren't fantasy addicts high on hopium like all our reality-deniers and insanity-peddlers.

A unipolar world? We should be so lucky.

If America can get rid of these rabid ducks nibbling our entrails and drop kick them into the hell they belong to, so we can come back from our coffee break of the soul, we'll teach them the meaning of unipolar.

You think Atlas shrugging is bad?

Wait till Atlas drop kicks your whining asses to the college campuses that will no longer exist.

You ain't seen nothing yet. And because I'm sane (ish) still, I hope you never will.
