The effort-posts which I promised in the comments section to the previous post, are still in production / on the assembly line. Hopefully they'll be out in a week or two. In the meantime, I did want to post a brief comment on the ongoing situation in Venezuela:
We're still living on the fakest (and gayest) of all timelines-- everything is a sensational LARP, a lame reboot, or a simulation of what used to be real, and that includes politics / news by now.
In a previous post, I said that it was becoming clear that the Pentagon no longer had the manpower or industrial base to sustain a prolonged war, and that includes waging an all-out invasion of Venezuela or Iran in order to steal their oil. It's not WW2 or the Vietnam War, even if the goals are still largely the same.
This explains why they are so desperate to find proxies to do the dirty work for them, and why their only real option when there are none available is to pull off these spectacular night-ops shadow raid delta force badass tactical elite HD amazing footage fuck around find out-type actions, of the kind we all know and love.
The problem is that the vast majority of these 'amazing successes' are tremendous long-term losses, which are only there in order for fanboys to avoid reality, really closer to Tumblr fantasies than to actual strategic or long-term planning. It just boils down to openly committing war crimes, and being so desperate and impotent that you try to frame that as a win, while going nowhere.
American elites have successfully self-brainwashed themselves, so they don't realize that Maduro is not some kind of Evil Demon single-handedly running the entire nation, economy, foreign policy, etc of Venezuela, but rather just an individual figurehead for a broader political regime-- and one that, as the long history of failed 'regime change' shows, is really quite popular within Venezuela.
It may be a shocking insight, but there isn't a 'silent majority' there yearning to have their entire nation looted by global corporations and bombed back to the Stone Age, regardless of what a handful of greedy shills say, which is why removing Maduro won't change anything.
The entire thing is similar to the assassination of Nasrallah in Lebanon, where they are still waiting for a similar group of Lebanese to rise up and disarm Hezbollah-- as if killing 80K+ civilians in Palestine, while committing terrorism in Lebanon, will suddenly have the effect of making the people there yearn to experience the same 'high IQ Judeo-Christian' rule in their own country.
The only thing that's different in Venezuela is what has *actually* changed-- namely that their previous leader got kidnapped, so now the vice-president is in charge (naturally). The entire government is the same, the nation is the same, the regime is still the same, and the resources are in the hands of the same people, who will be pursuing the same goals, and possibly with more determination now that it's clear that they're dealing with criminals.
Just a totally useless and fake action.
This type of slop (as I have said before, but just to reiterate) is really a new type of porn addiction for Millennial right-wing NEETs (99% of Twitter). They have some kind of fetish that revolves around brown people, which is really a kind of inversion of the liberal do-gooder obsession with helping as many 3rd world people as possible: they need to regularly masturbate to footage of them getting killed or blown up or arrested / deported, in order to feel powerful and relevant.
It has nothing to do with being conservative, since they don't GAF about preserving or conserving any aspect of America or American culture and would laugh at you if you suggested it, it's just that watching other people suffer makes them feel good-- and so when the Pentagon films itself committing war crimes in Yemen or Iraq or Lebanon or now Venezuela, it's like crack cocaine for them.
There's no other explanation for this stuff, other than it being a disturbing and disgusting new form of high-tech nihilistic alienation and addiction. The fact that it's become the mainstream and go-to for the propaganda state is just because Boomers are no longer the target audience for political slop.
This fetishistic addictive attitude also explains why there is zero focus on results within the entire GOP / right-wing propaganda bloc. You never hear-- 'how many factories came back this month?' or 'how much is the budget being cut by?' or 'how are we doing on inflation?' or really anything that would imply a long-term focus on results.
When the base of the GOP is a 'united front' of miserable incels (of all demographics and age groups) all they do is just avoid reality as hard as possible, and so the entire thing devolves into a constant stream of unhinged and suicidal behavior, which they treat as a win.
I'm trying to avoid discussing this stuff going forward, but it is difficult to ignore such a massive betrayal and selling out of their own voters and supporters-- not only are they not punishing Democrats at all, their entire focus has become humiliating the people who were responsible for putting them in office.

ReplyDeleteGood video on the situation, including on 'near-shoring'.
Left-wingers provide better commentary on this stuff, since they don't get paid to reframe every right-wing action as 'unfathomably based bro', but also I'm trying to consume more content made by women.
Not for feminist reasons, but because most guys on the Internet are into 'mixing substances' as it were-- they want the parasocial experience of belonging to a group, which they can't get from the real world, but they also want to LARP as being super influential, which they also can't get from the real world, and the end results is a form of extreme brain-washing and hostility to anyone pointing out basic reality.
Women are less likely to have these grandiose fantasies, which makes them more reliable.
And yeah I'm still trying to phase out the 'Rants' section of this blog, in favor of other cool things or more sober analysis, it's just too triggering not to ignore some of this insane slop.
ReplyDeleteAlso I have to laugh at the focus on taking GREENLAND. Greenland! Who cares???????
I have never heard even *one* American say, 'Yeah, our country may be really fucked up right now, but the #1 geopolitical goal is still annexing Greenland.'
It's totally irrelevant (no offense to people from there) and if we want a cut of their resources we should just negotiate normally, and really nobody thought of the place until Trump's neocon cabinet suddenly started obsessing about it.
I guess it's some kind of punishment for the Scandinavians for not submitting as hard to American / Euro hegemony as their neighbors, and still maintaining some degree of geopolitical independence, but the whole thing is deeply shameful and humiliating.
The political system is ultimately just broken in America, both sides have effectively prevented any real reform from taking place organically within their parties, and so there's no real 'action' except presenting the same lame slop over and over but with more intense rhetoric to try and cover up for how boring and awful it's become.
ReplyDeleteTheir entire ideologies are frankly retarded, self-contradicting, and deeply out of touch (they arose 50 yrs ago, in the 70s and 80s) but they won't change them. So who knows what will happen as America continues to openly break down domestically and flail around externally.
The left rigged the primaries against Bernie and his supporters, while running the most seething and annoying neolib candidates ever seen (not even a moderate / compromise type), so now nobody who isn't already on board cares for them-- it's beyond obvious who they are, what they're about, and what they'll do when in office.
The right-wing / GOP observed Trump's rhetoric and anti-neocon policies in 2016, and watched him decimate their boring candidates, and they adapted to that by taking up the rhetoric while ditching all of the interesting policies. Now we have Reagan / George Bush, but on steroids, just with an angry asshole attitude instead. It has the same effect on moderates and independents-- nobody who isn't already on board cares for this slop, or will vote for and support it.
As I have already said eight times already, but will say again, the right-wing and its supporters are just an army of Millennial Internet-porn addicts who want to watch brown people get bombed and arrested, while their actual leaders work hard to replace them with Indians ('legally'), double down on as many retarded wars as possible, and continue off-shoring the economy but this time around to India or Vietnam instead of EVIL COMMUNIST CHYNA.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a movement for people who grew up calling each other nigger and faggot in Call of Duty lobbies, and now want their leaders to adopt that tone, but who would back down immediately in any real-life confrontation against The Powers That Be.
Just look at how absent they were when the country was actually burning down, in 2020. Back then it was literally down to a random Zoomer teenager like Rittenhouse to fight against mobs of criminals, but now that the streets are empty, the faggots are suddenly out in force, carrying out raids against random Guatemalans LOL.
Or look at how badly they get destroyed whenever they fight a real army, as in Yemen or Afghanistan or Ukraine. They have to murder another 20K civilians and drone-strike some more weddings in order to feel better about themselves, since their entire lives are a reminder that they're just inferior losers-- pathetic.
And as I have also said eight times already, and will also say again, the left-wing and its supporters are a similar cult-gathering of gay Millennial misfits, who get off on scolding and lecturing the domestic populations as much as possible. It's an essentially Puritanical movement where they blame you for being fascists, anti-environmental, and anti-science, but not because they're interested in solving any of those problems, just because their particular fetish is feeling self-righteous and superior to the evil sinful normies. Virtue-addicts.
ReplyDeleteIn practice all they do is subvert real democracy, by rigging and stealing primaries and elections. In practice their leaders are anti-environmental, crusaders for defending some of the most exploitative and destructive agreements like NAFTA / WTO / etc. They tell you how you need to adopt some extremist diet and closely monitor every one of your actions according to some ridiculous nonsensical environmental standards, and meanwhile the billions of Chinese and Indians flood the climate with garbage and they don't say anything. And in practice they could not give a fuck about actual science, since they basically believe in magical delusions worthy of the Middle Ages: men who act like men, talk like men, look like men, and think like men (but are actually women), magical drugs and substances, Green Energy (that just makes you more dependent on fossil fuels), vaccines and lock-downs (that do nothing or make the thing stronger), and so and so forth.
If your actions are the opposite of your stated goals, then non-autistic people will just take you for what you are.
They spent their entire lives seething about the jocks and tHe nOrMiEs, who probably didn't even bother bullying them (just ignored them for being weird and gay), and now they need to make up increasingly deviant identities in order to feel a sense of belonging, and they look to politics as a means of revenge for the miserable experience they had back then, which is why they push as much garbage onto the sinful masses of low status low IQ normies as possible.
Speaking of which, Hegseth always reminds me of Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining. Facial expressions, body language... he always looks like he's one second away from snapping and murdering everybody. Totally unhinged.
ReplyDeleteIt's just what happens when low-testosterone gamer dweebs, gays like Lindsaaayyyy Graham, and middle-aged manosphere losers put together a 'masculine' movement, they somehow wind up looking even gayer than the pro-tranny LBGTQ+ left.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a parody of masculinity, what someone with no testosterone at all imagines a real man behaves like, in the exact same sense that the tranny types paraded around by the left are a parody of a woman, what a geeky autistic male brain imagines are the characteristic traits of a woman (feminization surgery, chemical castration, and tits, basically).
ReplyDeleteWhen people whose main occupation / hobby / past-time in life is literally sucking dick (a factual description, not an insult) or who've never ventured outside and are afraid of looking strangers in the eye (let alone getting into an actual fight or confrontation) are in charge of the propaganda side of your movement, you wind up with something like this: bizarre, cartoonish, unhinged, and ultimately pathetic and sad rather than victorious and triumphant.
Just as loser Millennial and Zoomers took irony, which could be a useful tool for making fun of overly pretentious and arrogant morons, and turned it instead into a tool for enforcing mass conformity and encouraging insanity, 'Fuck Around, Find Out' could have been a phrase mocking arrogant over-the-top idiots and bullies getting exactly what they deserve, but instead it has come to mean the exact opposite if what it should: encouraging resentful losers to act out their shameful private revenge fantasies rather than keep it to themselves, basically little more than a school shooter slogan at this point.
ReplyDeleteIt should have been Fuck Around (by printing trillions out of thin air), and Find Out (what inflation is)-- mocking the Intellectual Yet Idiot libertarian types.
Instead it got used on normies and Trump voters and working class people angry with all the insane inflation of the Biden years, not to mention the smug mocking tone.
Fuck Around (by drone-striking civilians), and Find Out (what a real army is, when the Taliban kicks you out of Afghanistan or the Houthis kick you out of the Red Sea).
It should have been used to make fun of the wannabe-badass GOP / Pentagon types, who are some of the biggest losers and L-accumulators on Earth, but instead it's being used in the opposite sense, to encourage their delusions and push American society into even more humiliating long-term defeats.
Sad!
'Europe needs to do more' originally meant GTFO out of Europe, shutting down the bases, and rebuilding them back home instead of occupying Germany and Italy forever when the Nazis and fascists have been gone for almost 80 yrs at this point.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, SLASHING the military budget and spending that money domestically on infrastructure, industry, etc or just not wasting as much in the first place.
Now it means the exact opposite-- forcing the Europeans to buy overpriced American slop weapons like the F-35 ('contributing), which are completely useless in an era in which every modern war is fought with ballistic missiles and drones, and even if they were useful are subject to such insane price-gouging that they are too fragile to see regular active heavy-duty use.
'Getting along with Russia / Putin' meant GTFO of Ukraine, before the whole thing blows up and we get dragged into another forever war as we have now.
ReplyDeleteNow it just means being a little less anti-Russia in rhetoric than the unhinged Democrats, and maybe giving them the occasional compliment, but otherwise doing as much as possible to prolong the war and even antagonize them further.
Rhetoric, and no action-- what an awful administration, for everyone.
The way they Rush Limbaugh slop works is like this, for anyone curious--
ReplyDelete(Step 1)-- some retarded jihadist attacks people at a concert / blows up a building and so on, or some shit goes down in the M-E, and everyone is outraged.
Step (2)-- the generic neocon politician goes, 'Isn't it funnyyyy how ISLAMMM is a 'religion of piece' but there's AKSHUALLY a video of some guy getting his head chopped off???? Isn't it funny how liberuuuuls love Hummuuusssss, and yet they're all gay and have green hair????? Logical fallacy much, libruulls?????'
Then their fans go, 'Hehehehehehehe so based.'
Step (3)-- the neocon politician gets into office, signs a multi-trillion weapons deal with the Saudis ($$$) and then imports another billion immigrants ($$$).
Then go back to step 1.
This same playbook has been run for the last two decades in the UK and America, with the exact same results each time.
You can be into it if you like jerking yourself off about brown people, but stop pretending anything is gonna change LOL.
