Last year when I first heard that the NBA was ending their season due to a virus commonly known as COVID-19 (CV19), I knew the world was about to change. And boy did it. Governors mandated lockdowns of certain businesses with no rhyme or reason, threatened people with State violence if they left their homes, and generally appeared to be enjoying their newly self-endowed power. However, there was one aspect of the CV19 hysteria I caught onto before most people. I knew that the average person on the street was going to somehow make the hype surrounding the bug all about them. And how right I was.
I do think as that window is shifted there will be that moment where bluffing will be a catastrophic blow any separation or secession movement. No power structure I am aware of enjoys losing power against its will. So they won't. Are mechanisms in place to handle the crushing power that is the globalist oligarchy? Is their tentacles that reach into the souls and minds of the zombies around us capable of creating a real and present danger? At present, certainly it the case. So what then? Give up? Never! Though how is the dissenter class thinking of what resisting means? Alt-media, alt-economy, alt-culture are all in existence, not that unified, and could use support, they are all under assault constantly because that is the real threat. An alternative reality to their bullshit. An alternative to leviathan. Is that possible at scale? Perhaps, but not without more antifragile structures. If local supply chains are not set up, when the middle finger is raised to the next round of barriers disguised as regulations are set up, it is a vulnerability that will be exploited; reliance equals compliance. If people are still programming themselves with their nightly and 24 propaganda machines disguised as news, can belief in liberty principles be realized in depth with fear porn liquifying human brains into zombies? How about when they make material wealth less abundant by shutting down bank access, corporation access, etc? Are we set up to handle these things spiritually and socially? Are we organizing to create a network of support to blunt their assault into areas they consider threats?
The Overton window can generate a lot of things, but some of these systems take decades to build, starting by educating the next generation with alternatives to the mass indoctrination efforts in public schools tied to federal dollars. Are we in it for the long haul? That is what it will take. There will be losses, there will be martyers, and we all don't get to make it to the end state. Does that mean we don't sacrifice? No. But, we are spread out physically, and if there is anything that can trump information and economic power it is physical power. Not the use, but the potential threat it can generate. The game theory is all worked out in that space. Is there enough of that to stop the madness at present? Hypothetically yes, which is why the globalist utilitarian humanists strategy appears to be what it is: to enter the moral sphere and apply constant info and econ pressure against dissenters. But can we organize enough to threaten them in those same arenas or threaten a flank or two that can give them pause?
Perhaps when the purity olympics are done and everyone figures out that alignment of priorities is more effective than who can recite the gospels the best we have more an accelerated chance. Compromises are necessary. In the meantime I suppose the entertainment of watching wage slaves crucify each other in the info and economic domain (and soon to be physical) is enough entertainment to keep me swallowing the whole bottle of black pills. I pray we end the bullshit soon, I am not sure we have too much time left on the clock before the strategy will need to completely shift to address the much more isolated and distributed situation we created for ourselves.
I bet that coworker was one of those who loudly proclaimed their concern for the vulnerable last year. Funny how that concern goes out the window when the vulnerable disagree with you politically.
