The key idea today is really simple and I won’t insult your intelligence by trying to string it out across several hundred words to make myself seem smarter and waste your time.
Russians have a stronger preference for the Empire than Americans, but Americans still prefer the empire on balance. Interestingly, Canadians have a slightly higher preference than Americans. Holdover from United Empire Loyalist origins?
A heaping helping of Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug’s wisdom for expanded context ↓↓
🗨 Aristotle [in his Politics] saw three forms of government: rule of one, rule of the few, rule of the many. He called them monarchy, oligarchy, and democracy. Our Reality Department calls them: dictatorship, democracy, and populism.
🗨 one of the worst aspects of democracy is the fact that it rarely exists. Because democracy is the rule of the many, and the rule of the many is inherently unstable, democracies rarely last long.
🗨 Power is like computer code, binary. It is either on or off; final and absolute, or merely a glorified form of servitude.
And the final bespoke byte as if specifically tailored to Rolo’s size ↓↓ 😉
🗨 You really shouldn’t expect the material rewards of success to come along with the spiritual rewards of telling the truth.
Disagree all you want, but the results speak for themselves. Trump accomplished nothing for the people who voted for him. In fact, he made things substantively worse by galvanizing his voters enemies.
I don't care about Trump's 'virtues'.
I care about results.
And Trump's results were all adverse for his voters.
Rolo expounding upon a topic of his choice in several different layers of complexity: to a child, ... , and finally a fella prophet. Should be a fun project, for both the esteemed author and his grateful audience in equal measure 🙂
Hard to believe muslims are giving the russkiys trouble... and that the authorities protect those mohammedan rascals. Sounds kind of familiar, who would think that jewish warrior cultists would behave like this?
Interesting. The OT had professional prophets, some were good at their profession others weren't. Some got mad when their prophecy was circumvented, Jonas, did not expect Ninevah to repent, when it did it damaged his cred. It was left to others to clean that story up.
2023 is tough for prophets, or even the current writers. It's great to be succinct but unique content is still everything. It's not as if without them special classes of human thought would be without expression.
Now, the Holy Fools, they had guts. They were total prophets and saw the entire thing, the entire world, its stupid societies and everybody in them as mockable . The last person they took seriously was themselves. They knew they were part of the joke too.
Cannot say I disagree with him, although he completely ignores the racial angle. Also, he should take what he admits in the last paragraph about the rich and the Democratic Party to its full logical conclusions, which would mostly invalidate the points he made on the political level. On the sociological level, surprisingly, I think his observations stand.
Given it has been published, this is probably endorsed by SouthFront. As per Wikipedia SouthFront might be a FSB operation ---> this might help explaining why during your misadventure, your FSB interrogator suggested the Democratic Party as a possible friend of Russia in the US...
The desire to vote trump was not simple peasant stupidity, there were a variety of reasons. They knew the demonrats hate heritage americans and have a satanic agenda... if not him who... the idea of president pudding brain and kalergi haaretz was far from appealing. Jimmy Dore summed it up in a funny way: ''There are still people who voted for Joe Biden who think they are good human beings''. Interesting how lil donnie, Biden and Kamala all have family marriages to the ethnic globalists...
Actually, once you realize this article is an exposition from one peasant to his fellows, everything becomes much less clear.
You could define populism as what happens when peasants get radical ideas, in the sense of any position the elites find threatening. For instance, the Stop the Steal Rally was based on the "radical" idea that the election had been stolen, and if you don't think that it's radical, reply MSM interviews of federal prosecutors. More generally, what do you think this "misinformattion" and "disinformation" are that forms the grist for the elite fact-checkers mills.
I don't think this evil schtick is a particularly helpful direction, either. Programs based on evil can be corrupted as easily (perhaps more so) than the rest, and so can be derailed from their intended path just as easily as any other.
In fact, programs based on "force" or any inspirational ideology tend to develop a momentum that can easily be captured and diverted. I believe this was essentially Gaetano Mosca's point, that only people who spend all their time doing politics and engaging in political corruption will be able to hold the reins of power.
You are, by the way, wrong about this: "Take Trump, for example. The orange man did literally nothing for his supporters." He would have no supporters were it true.
A Republican controlled House, Senate and Presidency passed...tax cuts for the rich.
The border wall was not built, illegal immigration not halted and actually expanded, the deep state was not wounded or destroyed, the trade deficit increased instead of decreased, Jared Kushner told him what to do, Orange Man shut down the country in 2020 and pushed the heart attack jabs, all while presiding over a country with a 1.5-2 trillion dollar/year deficit and which printed 11 trillion during fraudvirus. Oh, and he pardoned a bunch of financial criminals and let out a bunch of black criminals, while not even pardoning Assange.
To be fair, Orange Man did keep the U.S. out of new wars (although he bombed Syria) and he apparently started the process toward the Afghanistan withdrawal (although Dementia Joe carried it out), and he appointed a couple of globohomo RINOs to the Supreme Court, I guess. Small things.
The greatest thing Orange Man did was inadvertently forcing the deep state to reveal itself to the world, which is not something that can be put back in the bottle. And that is historically important.
And hey, I'd vote for the guy over DeShabbos / Meatball Ron, but he's really a very flawed and damaged guy.
He didn't have enough supporters to get any of his preferred candidates elected or to get himself elected a second time. The GOP Faithful attracted to Trump have their egos invested in his success, just like they invest their ego in the local sportsball franchise. In their minds, his losses are their losses, his wins are their wins. But it's all a costly fantasy. They give him money. He give them postures and bullshit.
The issue is whether the people who voted for him got anything substantive from him. He pardoned jewish and negro felons. Was that something you supported? If so, what was in it for you, personally? What about his 'Reparations Lite' Platinum Plan? Did you support that? If so, what was in it for you, personally? What about the Embassy being moved to Jerusalem? Did you support that? If so, what was in it for you?
Trump was not a success for the nice White folks who voted for him. A lot of other people who hate him got a lot of benefits, but not the people who voted for him.
Interesting about Star Wars. I remember seeing this years ago, and recalled that broadly the global north preferred the Empire. Sure enough:

From now on I will steal your last quote again and again
Sure, help yourself! Curtis Yarvin will be pleased, no doubt: stealing is even better form of flattery than imitation 🤸
All right now I'm convinced you are human

He's a cult leader now, not a political figure.
Ever notice that they always show Darth Vader's speeches on TV, but they never tell you what he's saying?
Thinking about it they also like to show his followers burning books without ever explaining what the books were about...
Darth Fuhrer was passionate about support for israel, record black unemployment, working with neocons to produce vaccines at warped speeds.

Have you read "Mussolini - A New Life," by Nicholas Farrell. Worth a look.
I read this book at really enjoyed it.

"... today’s radicals pave the wave for tomorrow’s populists."
... pave the way ... . I know you know, it's just what I do.
Rolo, have you read this piece on 'aristocracy' by SouthFront's infamous Eric Zuesse? https://southfront.org/the-aristocracy-how-and-why-it-controls-u-s-and-allied-countries/

Every country has "circus barker politicians" who know how to manipulate the crowd. Every election cycle you can hear them screeching:
"step right up and play the game." The current game is the Eurasian alliance versus the West. It's much more Orwellian than Lucas. 😁
Still waiting for the eurasian alliance to happen...
It rarely ends well for prophets...

Stupid human tricks

Nah ... although you've accurately provided the MSNBC/CNN viewpoint.
The issue is whether the people who voted for him got anything substantive from him. He pardoned jewish and negro felons. Was that something you supported? If so, what was in it for you, personally? What about his 'Reparations Lite' Platinum Plan? Did you support that? If so, what was in it for you, personally? What about the Embassy being moved to Jerusalem? Did you support that? If so, what was in it for you?
Trump was not a success for the nice White folks who voted for him. A lot of other people who hate him got a lot of benefits, but not the people who voted for him.
Which is why in 2020, he lost.
I disagree with your analysis. I agree with Tom Klingenstein's analysis of "Trump's Virtues," here: https://youtu.be/R-GAw1lLWJA
