Last night I woke up five times, in a panic. This has happened before, but it was usually from a nightmare. This ... was not. And I don't know what caused the panics. It's one of those: check everything, see if there was a loud noise.
Anyway, I think metaphorically speaking we need a reality check. We're sitting here, in the dark, and we scare ourselves. Worse, people are trying to scare us, on purpose or not. In the sense that they think they're going to do a lot of really bad things, and that intention and their certainty this is achievable can scare the best and most rational of us.
Look, first let's establish something clearly: we are all poisoned by story.
Every time I see the stupid meme about how in revolutionary times "me and my homies would already be stacking bodies" I want to.... spit. Because seriously, no. The founding fathers were careful, deliberate, spent a lot of time analyzing things and almost killed themselves trying to find a peaceful solution to their dilemma. Benjamin Franklin was in London, looking for a peaceful solution, when war broke out. DESPITE deliberate insults, threats and attacks on them and their property. They were still trying to find a peaceful solution.
But that's not how it's portrayed in stories. In stories it's all wham bam, and now we're going to war. The refusal of the call (to action) cannot take too long or it's a dud story, and that's what we've been conditioned to.
This is one version of "poisoned with story" which is why we "know" a lot of things that just ain't so. Like we know revolutions happen when people are starving. Or we know the government has super powers to stop all communication. Or we know--
Except none of it is true.
The good and bad news is the left is even more poisoned with story than we are. By and large, they are less practical and more people of word text and theory. (Part of it is self selection. The reason they are attracted to the left is that they like self-consistent theories and fail to realize they apply to nothing in reality. Because they work in fields/live in places where they're not exposed to people who aren't like them, with the same background and education.)
Do I believe the left is intending to bring us under the heel. Yes, yes I do. Does the left have plans and believe they can fulfill those plans? Yes, yes, they do.
And now I'm going to light this one lamppost sitting here, in the dark forest, guys: Does the left have a chance in hell of bringing their plans to fruition?
No, no they don't.
Look, sure, they might jail Trump. They might even kill Trump in jail. I think both of them will cause a reaction, and not the one they expect.
What they expect, because it's the way it would totally work in books or movies, the way of the story, the way we've taught our subconscious that things happen, is that "rednecks" a group of will commit terrible acts in protest, preferably indiscriminately killing families to protest this crime against their "leader" (No, they really think Trump is our Svengali and our leader. No. Seriously. Trust me. They think that.) and then the left can stomp down, arrest us all (as if) of us who ever spoke against them, and shut us down effectively and then it will be the reign of a thousand years (it's either five or a thousand with collectivists. I don't know why. They're dumb that way.)
But that's not what they'll get. Because the right isn't collective and the individualists fail to organize. What the individualists do instead if become very very impossible to track down and govern. And things start to happen. Like government vehicles might have a lot of flats. And families of certain three letter agents might just have a heck of a time making friends. And-- But you know and I know what can happen, the base level "You smell" rising to the heavens. And for that matter, at a guess, so many whistles will be blown internally, from all the good people still embedded in those places that no one will get anything done for being deaf. And, and and-- They have no idea what they'll unleash, and the truth is neither do we. We just know they will.
How do we know they will? Well, look at all the things they've tried to do and which they've quiet quit because we ignored them/made fun of them/made them realize they'd reap the whirlwind? Everything from not being able to institute their disinformation ministry to their attempts at gun banning for the last... oh few decades that sure have had a few set backs, but have resulted in each middle class American having enough of an arsenal to obliterate a third world nation. And a majority of countries now having constitutional carry. Or look these last few years at their attempt to lock us down again. I mean, if they could they'd never have lifted the lockdowns, but it became untenable. People were just ignoring them.
The truth is, every country is governed with consent of the governed. How that consent is withdrawn isn't always a dramatic revolution, but slower and more grinding.
Look, there isn't a doubt in my mind that they planned to arrest us, send us to camps, etc back in 21. Only, you know, even having the national guard in the capital started not working the way they intended. It was supposed to be a show of force, but it really just showed how scared they were. And even the national guard people -- there were interviews -- who believed this was needed due to a grave threat of insurrection started hating their guts. And--
But more importantly, this template they've lifted from stories... well, mostly about the Soviet Union, where they win and everyone falls in line scared of their brutality, and they confiscate all the food, stop food production, starve the parts of the country that disagree with them, etc. etc. etc. ... it will never work.
Sure, they've managed to skyrocket meat prices, but let's face it, they've skyrocketed most prices. That's inflation and printing press go brrrrrrt.
Most of their attempts to get American farmers to slaughter their herds have been met with something between "You've got to be kidding me" and "Don't try that in a small town." Bird flu is not being any more successful. And you know, I'm probably the only one of my friends without chickens. (Mostly because I'm allergic to feathers. And also everything I raise turns to pets. See quail, and they're younger DIL's.) Even people in suburbs have chickens since the great egg insanity of 20 and 21.
So, yeah, they could confiscate our food.... if we were a country that has three major cities and a bunch of isolated villages easy to access all in a line. And a disarmed populace.
With all this, the size and variety of this country are the best defense. The orneriness of its people is another.
Sure, what they try to do, particularly if they "dominion" themselves into power again in November, will hurt like a mother. There are a lot of things we foolishly let become centralized, from energy production to transport. And those are the areas they are having the most luck messing with. Not completely, but the ones they are messing with the most. And even that is only affecting certain areas of the country. For the rest we're... mostly ignoring them.
So some places, some professions, some cities, some areas are going to hurt. Worse than they're hurting now. The rest of us are just going to get very upset.
Worse for them, and something they never get, is that their actions have consequences beyond what they intend. This for some reason is something they can't understand in any way, shape or form. So they're having trouble understanding why the lockdowns caused people to be able to work from home, caused people to be able to move anywhere, caused their favorite cities to become half-depopulated and the tax base in their fiefdoms to fall and.... Oh, yeah, caused a lot more people to homeschool, a lot more families to become close knit, and incidentally caused the demand for oil to fall (fewer commutes) which means the prices haven't gone up as much as they wanted to.-- This was not what they intended at all. And they keep trying to put the toothpaste back in cubeland tubes and not understanding why it doesn't work.
None of this computes to them. And I'm not sure what their attempts at making us fall into line will do, but I can guarantee it will be the opposite of what they intend. Or a lot of things orthogonal to what they intend that incidentally mars their plotting.
This is because their plans are simple and -- always -- based on the simplified version of history they want to be true, and they have no real understanding of cultural and geographic differences.
Look, if they could, we'd already all be in camps. If they could, they'd have Hillary in power. If they had that kind of power over us, they would not have needed to scare everyone with a "pandemic" and put the country in house arrest to get the zombie elected.
They can't. They're already up against the hard limits of their power. Sure, they can say they moved the polls their way (it was one poll, and let's say no, it's not what they claim.) They have lost the consent of the governed. In fact, they never really had it. And they're too dumb to know that at this point any more attempts to run "WWIII" or "USSR" or "Pandemic" scripts are just going to have less and less effect and more and more contrary side effects.
So, they can make us miserable for a while. And depending on where you are and your state of health, etc, you should make more or less extensive preparations to survive.
But that's the other thing. Americans are prepared. I swear in 2015 when we were looking at houses everyone already had a "prep room." I also presume all their guns were lost in a tragic canoe accident. BUT their canning, freeze dried food etc? That was next level. This is something that no other country does to this extent. (Or often to any extent.)
Be not afraid. Yes, their plans are horrific. And if they succeed it will be the first time their plans succeed in all of history.
Let's not forget the Soviet Union, their beau ideal, the template they try to imitate, was brought down by.... typewriters, which allowed people to disseminate and spread information. And they're trying to run the script in a country with.... internet, with personal cell phones, with--
Bah. They're idiots studying to be morons.
They can cause a lot of pain, sure. An idiot with a hammer can break a lot of machinery. But in the end someone grabs the idiot and if the idiot is lucky, the hammer doesn't get used on his head. If he's lucky, he's just locked in a back room were he can't hurt anyone. People are very resistant to being killed and having their stuff taken away. And the idiots in charge are insistent they should do things people notice.
Move towards the light. The black pill is not your friend. If there were no hope, they wouldn't be trying to gaslight us so heavily.
Sure, it's going to take time. It's not a glorious revolution. (Stop watching movies!) BUT in the end we win and they lose.
And definitely they're the ones who should be afraid.
