I think one of the best political contrasts of the past decade is libs doing retarded performative iconoclasm and toppling statues, and then Trump rolling in a few years later with bulldozers and razing entire institutions. Really shows you who was ‘knowing’ about politics.

You can save yourself a lot of trouble by just trusting your own eyes and coming to terms with the fact that we live in a semi-Sovietized informational environment where any data that is inconvenient to the government or media will be faked or obfuscated.

I’ve decided we need more cults. Huge mismatch between the number of people who need a cult and cult opportunities. A lot of people with real ‘cult energy’ got excited by politics because politics is cult adjacent and the effects of this have been very, very negative.

Libs out of power 6 months: ‘Are we ackshually that bad? What have we done recently that you care about? We’re ackshually very reasonable, most of us. Why do you care so much about 2016-2024? Lol. That’s long in the past. Blah blah blah blah…’

The short answer is that libs went on a tear ruining lives over ideological transgressions from 2015 and 2024 that dwarfed McCarthyism by orders of magnitude and a lot of reasonable people would rather have no Overton window than the one libs tried to enforce.

1/2 Here’s a big change that I think has happened in past 5 years: Because of the internet there’s no longer institutional control of narrative formation. So, what they do instead is try to generate hysterias to move the needle in the direction they want.

Matt Taibbi is calling it on Russiagate:

No. There’s no indication they have ‘antibodies.’ That so many people happily nodded along with all the nonsense and were so easily cowed by little threats and a petty sense of self preservation revealed an almost complete lack of character - every indication is that these people could just as easily be bullied again in the future. Useful idiot libs are trying to create redemption arc narratives for themselves but no one should believe any of it.
