You substack writeups are awesome man! Keep it up! I agree with the overwhelming majority of what your saying and do a great job putting it into an article.
So, what is the line then, this is what I want Glenn Beck and Ben Shapiro and all of conservative inc. to lay out. When has the switch flipped to tyranny? Government allowed corporations and academia to intertwine, or rather a group of uber powerful billionaires took over the state with bribes and designed this web of tyranny, so they can use "muh private company" to literally obliterate the lives of anyone it deems a threat, make examples of the largest voices so the lemmings fall in line. Its truly 1984 style dystopian horror. This has nothing to do with supporting trump, it has everything to do with using an "alternate reality created by amplifying a Saul Alinsky manufactured delusion" to punish those who are a threat in actual reality and you can't argue your innocence.
Ryan Dawson's book, Separation of Business and State is a great read, he broke this all down, without the state you can't have megacorps, without the state you can't have billionaires, without the state you can't use slave labor on one continent to enrich another. You need the monopoly on violence to have the power to allow these things to happen and go on unchecked and propped up. Want to close the wealth gap? close the state. At least minarchy. One state has slaves and another state funds corporations to import those products at unbelievable margins, grants them subsidies, etc. Name a billionaire who made their fortune without any state assistance whether it be tax breaks, subsidies or grants, or on the other side creating regulations to allow monopolies, monopolies dont exist without the state.
Yeah it’s pretty easy to swallow. If conservatives and people who speak of destroying the state are purged from Twitter, it seems like a backhanded favor. As you were saying a few articles back Pete, the state is happy for us to spend our time trying to untangle their plans and for us to argue about it all. For the most part, using Twitter sucks out energy, vitality, and creativity.
Another way of not swallowing the black pill is to think about examples of awesome people like Catherine Austin Fitts who has many good reasons to swallow it, but seems as content and steady as could be. Her mom was assassinated in the seventies for making a fuss about the role of banks and government intelligence agencies in drug trafficking. https://home.solari.com/meditations-at-the-crossroads/ As well as anyone, she understands the evils of the Fed and the future of vaccines. https://www.corbettreport.com/catherine-austin-fitts-exposes-the-injection-fraud/ But it’s worth having a look at this 5 minute video she made recently “why I’m an optimist.” https://youtu.be/VgTQTEKAjQU
If the USG insists on starting a people’s war with its own citizens it will radicalize far more at pace much greater than it removes them. The press is already actively doing this with their infowar tactics and the application of corporate power to extend into economic warfare is a dangerous escalation. Empowering local entities for nullification and secession to decentralize power can be easily spun as sedition by the megaphone holders. A strong local network concentrated on wealth production and breaking reliance is a hard build, but may be the only peaceful way to resist without capitulating to centralized power and their demands for a single controllable monoculture. No good answers here. Idiots who believe armed insurrection will work will figure out quite fast the error of their logic. Self defense of values in the infowar space, local and self-reliance in the economic warfare space creates distance over time. If an escalation into physical warfare space is attempted to quell the former, it will be seen as aggression to those who live it, there will be no question about morality when self-defense is attempted to be portrayed as insurrection. The problem to overcome is the attention economy and the supercomputer pointed at our heads to hijack our attention long enough to hypnotize us into believing narratives. The real war is within our own minds and one side of us has AI algos powering it. The fear propaganda creates an urgency for spectacular action, which will be exploited by those in power. That is my black pill.
yes. black pill is very easy to swallow. I'm very pessimistic for the future of people who are more libertarian / anarchist minded, whom just want to be left alone. I honestly don't feel like there is a safe future for folks like us. at least in the geographical US, I feel like things are going to get worse and worse as time goes on.
Maybe its the news media and social media constant badgering that helps facilitate these feelings....
Jack Spirko "Build your own world or live in theirs"... good video that touches on this.
Yes. I know I could be categorized "technically" as an "enemy of the state." I think of the state as Santa Claus with a cult following who will murder and rob people so it's hard to be an enemy of a fiction. But I certainly want people to stop believing in it and I will continue to Scooby Doo demonstrate for people that under the beard and red hat it was just some old white guy that would have gotten away with it if it weren't for meddling kids like me. But because I thoroughly do not advocate for that fake entity and will tell literally anyone it's bullshit, I'm on a list. Undoubtedly. My whole FB profile being disabled without a single day in FB jail or violation of TOS warnings is astounding. But more amazing was that they left my back up acct which was admin on all my pages (in case my main acct got disabled) but still disabled all those pages ANYWAY despite having back up admins, most noteably my cache of 40 or so videos on peaceful alternatives to govt control on my Freedom Fridays page. I backed up all the vids because I'm not an idiot but I can't decide where to put them. I need my own website. I have a domain, a bluehost, a fancy envato template which is supposed to be amazingly user friendly but I presently have ZERO skills on how to use it. I have tinkered with a few things over the past year and have accidental wins. LOL! "Oh, I got it to do something but I don't know what I just did to duplicate that action. Shit!" It's way over my head. I look at it and it's like trying to read a secret code without a key, or reading Chinese without any Chinese to English dictionary. It's so far beyond my capabilities. But it costs a child on Wayfair, sorry, my bad, I mean a "box" on Wayfair, to hire a webdesigner.
