They Don't Really Need You (Or Me)

Someone in the comments asked why I support the military coming to power and running things. It’s a good question: why do I shill for military rule?

Well its simple: the military needs me and people like me. It needs my fingers to squeeze the trigger on a rifle. It needs my thick skull to stand in front of a flying bullet. The higher-ups might even decide to use my big brain for more than just target practice for the enemy.

Now, consider: Do the tech-oligarchs need me? Do they need you?

Sure, they might need you now. So long as you’re writing code that will automatize or digitize away the work of some other person, you’ll get paid. From what I understand, you’ll get paid well. But rest assured, there’s a person somewhere writing code to replace you as well. I don’t blame you for not thinking about the bigger picture and focusing on your work, keeping your skills sharp by learning the latest tech stuff to stay competitive and outpace the H1Bs nipping at your heels. I’d do the same in your position.

But consider, consider: With the 4th industrial revolution in full swing, who will be left to inherit the brave new world of tomorrow?

When the horses were automated away during the first industrial revolution, how many of them avoided the glue factories and found new work in Amish communities or luxury carriage rides for tourists around Manhattan? Sure, plenty of people found work in the newly-emerging automobile industry. But then the second wave or third wave of the revolution came for them as well. There used to be a car plant in my state. 20,000+ people worked there. Now, about 2,000 do and count themselves lucky.

At this point, you probably see what I’m driving at here.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is going to make a lot of people redundant and the only people who will profit from this new state of affairs are the people who create ways to make other people redundant. I’m not one of those people. And if the algorithms and robots don’t replace me, the Muslims and Mexicans surely will.

Consider, consider, oh please consider: modern society was built on the industrial model was it not? Schools were structured to prepare a generation of factory workers, and, perhaps, citizen conscripts. Social welfare, voting, mass-housing - these things did not come about as a result of some “invisible hand”. It was an invisible elite with goals in mind that created a system in which our grandparents and parents lived in. They were needed by the system to produce widgets, buy widgets and go to war to secure raw widget resources. And so, they were allowed to continue existing and not go the way of the horses. For a while.

In America, this shift to modernity was not so abrupt and perhaps because of this, not so readily apparent. But the peasants in the USSR and most of the rest of the world were rounded up and sent into newly-built industrial towns to work in factories.

Most young slavs my age have a peasant grandparent that was picked up and moved into the city and given a commieblock apartment and a job at the local factory. Normies in Eastern Europe devote a great deal of their time to squabbling with their extended family over who will inherit that old apartment.

The point I’m making here is that the ruling elite decides who lives and who dies out and this has always been the case throughout all of recorded human history. The daimyos and boyars needed peasants to till fields and so we ended up with plenty of peasants. The industrialists needed workers to man the assembly lines and so we got plenty of workers. The moment that these professions were no longer needed, they were brutally and swiftly liquidated.

So, speaking purely from the perspective of my self-interest and the interest of my descendants, I ran a quick thought experiment and concluded that a military-run state needs healthy citizens more than a tech-oligarchy obsessed with “efficiency” and eliminating "human error” does. I also put two and two together on the whole Green agenda and realized, like many others, that this was simply a global depopulation scheme. As for why we are slated for depopulation, well…

For one thing, the predominantly Jewish elite hates and fears us as I’m sure you guys already well know. But another reason is that they’ve concluded that the post-peasant, post-proletariat masses have no place in the automated, digitized world of the near future. Look, there will always be concentration of power and capital. That means that there will always be a ruling elite who controls these resources. The only question is who will command these resources and to what end. The minute that a nation gives up on competing with the other nations of the world for territory and resources, the masses become redundant and even a net burden on the system.

So if you want to live in a nation where you are encouraged to have national pride and a large, intact and healthy family, simply ask yourself: who needs this as well?

If you’ve got any better ideas, I’m all ears.
