"Liberalism" <i>never</i> left people alone. It was <i>always</i> a movement to take power from private hands, and transfer it to the state. Initially only businesses were targeted, and "free speech" was an absolute value. But Roger Baldwin, co-founder of the ACLU, spilled the beans in his article <a href="https://www2.law.ucla.edu/volokh/blog/baldwin.pdf" rel="nofollow">"Freedom in the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R."</a>. "Civil Liberties" needed to be defended because they were a useful in bringing on socialism. After the Revolution, they would interfere with socialism, and so should be dispensed with. Appropriately, it was published in the American Communist publication <i>Soviet Russia Today</i>, in the September 1934 issue.<br /><br /> In the U.S., the movement against free speech began in the '60s. I remember one tv special about politics and dissent, shown in the late '60s or early '70s, and there was a guy from the ACLU <i><b>ENDORSING</b></i> student mobs that prevented right wingers from speaking. It was a sign that they knew they had conquered the universities, and didn't need to pretend anymore.<br /><br /> As I said above, they are winning, and you should expect them to keep winning. The American people are determined to stick to the "practical," to disdain philosophy, to ignore history and to ignore Europe. Sure, the U.S. has the stories about Our Glorious People® and Our Glorious Ancestors® that every society has. But it doesn't have real history. Real history sees Our Glorious People and Ancestors as the fallen humans they were. And it gives us the horrible message that we aren't any better. That message makes us feel bad, so it won't be listened to.<br /><br /> The evil at the core of the Enlightenment was laid out by a boring professor nambed Jacob Talmon in a book entitled <i>The Rise of Totalitarian Democracy</i>, which you're not going to bother to read. And you'd never dream of reading his two follow-up volumes <i>Political Messianism – The Romantic Phase</i> and <i>The Myth of Nation and Vision of Revolution – The Origins of Ideological Polarization in the 20th Century</i>, which carried the story of totalitarianism down to the Cold War. You're going to <i>continue</i> ceding the intellectual field to the Left. And that's why you'll probably lose Civil War II (‘This time, with nukes!’®) 2/2<br />Stephen St. Ongehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477067342281594974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-36637615543017096442021-07-17T13:06:41.876-05:002021-07-17T13:06:41.876-05:00 I read things like Peter's post, or Su... I read things like Peter's post, or Sullivan's post, and my reaction is: "Gee, guys, welcome to the party, you're at least three centuries late." But when I say this, I get a funny look, because Americans are absolutely determined not to know history.<br /><br /> The "successor ideology" dates back to the so-called "Enlightenment" of the early 18th Century. The core of Enlightenment political philosophy is a bunch of intellectuals screaming in rage that they are not in charge of everything. They wanted to rule, and they couldn't, because they had the wrong ancestors. "Put us in charge, because we want power so much" was the <i><b>ENTIRE</b></i> motivation of the <i>philosophees</i>, but they were smart enough to realize that wasn't much of a selling point, so they came up with an elaborate argument that society should be ordered and ruled "rationally," which in practice meant "ordered and ruled by the professional reasoners, who are us."<br /><br /> And so they made the French Revolution, and started "rationally" guillotining everyone who might threaten their power, plus whomever they felt like killing that day. And they've continued the quest for power ever since, and the mass murders whenever they could get power.<br /><br /><br /> And they have been winning all along, even though there have been occasional set backs. They are winning because they recognized a key fact: once a society is judged morally illegitimate by enough of its own members, it collapses. In the 18th Century, hereditary rule was delegitimized, in the 19th Century "capitalism" was delegitimized, and in the 20th the entire history of Western Civilization was delegitimized, including especially Christianity, which has been the main target all along. The reason Christian civilization is to be held illegitimate changes, but attack never ends.<br /><br /> The smart money says they are going to keep winning, because their opponents agree with them about the moral illegitimacy of today's society. Andy Sullivan and his kind can't stop them, because the Sullivans agree that society is illegitimate, and are determined to remake it. Sullivan lies to himself when he says "Liberalism leaves you alone." Sullivan and Co. feel "let alone" by liberalism, because the things "liberalism" is determined to change are the things Sullivan doesn't care about. The homosexual Sullivan isn't bothered by dicks in <i>his</i> rest room, and doesn't have any woman he's strongly attached to emotionally, so the female population will just have to put up with them, and the "trans women" have every right to use the power of the state to force their way into the Ladies toilets.<br /><br />1/2Stephen St. Ongehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477067342281594974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-15103626471696869412021-07-17T01:21:38.602-05:002021-07-17T01:21:38.602-05:00I know you've argued against violence quite a ...I know you've argued against violence quite a while, Peter.

They will certainly strike first. They have no choice. <br /><br />It's obvious that they are badly losing the current information war with its all-important human terrain. Very few Americans believe anything the Regime or its mouthpieces say. Most Americans don't believe the feds have any legitimacy.<br /><br />This is why we see them acting with increasing desperation, constantly ratcheting up the rhetoric and threats, pouring ungodly amounts of cash and resources into their attempts to hold onto power. But when a government is widely seen as illegitimate by its citizens, they have only one, last resort: brute force. Some crisis-- false flag, manufactured or possibly real (caused by their incompetence) -- that will be used to demand some obedience from the people which can only be obtained by violence. Most commenters assume that common Americans will somehow rise up but, no. It will be the feds who strike first. How will active military respond? That's a big unknown. No doubt that is driving the mad purge of patriots from the services.Tschifty Mccoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145718212696956164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-14649614218898527742021-07-16T16:03:07.949-05:002021-07-16T16:03:07.949-05:00"aren't" I mean instead of "are..."aren't" I mean instead of "are"JoshOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06656823198967467899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-91237939461527662492021-07-16T16:02:05.027-05:002021-07-16T16:02:05.027-05:00@Maniac They aren't coming around.

I...Here is something we should be reading up on... I recall reading about this way back in high school or college.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict_of_the_Orders<br /><br />The Conflict or Struggle of the Orders was a political struggle between the Plebeians (commoners) and Patricians (aristocrats) of the ancient Roman Republic lasting from 500 BC to 287 BC, in which the Plebeians sought political equality with the Patricians. It played a major role in the development of the Constitution of the Roman Republic. Shortly after the founding of the Republic, this conflict led to a secession from Rome by Plebeians to the Sacred Mount at a time of war. The result of this first secession was the creation of the office of Plebeian Tribune, and with it the first acquisition of real power by the Plebeians.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secessio_plebis<br /><br />Secessio plebis (withdrawal of the commoners, or secession of the plebs) was an informal exercise of power by Rome's plebeian citizens, similar in concept to the general strike. During the secessio plebis, the plebs would abandon the city en masse in a protest emigration and leave the patrician order to themselves. Therefore, a secessio meant that all shops and workshops would shut down and commercial transactions would largely cease. This was an effective strategy in the Conflict of the Orders due to strength in numbers; plebeian citizens made up the vast majority of Rome's populace and produced most of its food and resources, while a patrician citizen was a member of the minority upper class, the equivalent of the landed gentry of later times. Authors report different numbers for how many secessions there were. Cary & Scullard state there were five between 494 BC and 287 BC.[1]Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627018193641907984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-24376362426248956972021-07-16T08:00:32.374-05:002021-07-16T08:00:32.374-05:00Come to think of it Successor Ideology has smell o...Come to think of it Successor Ideology has smell of infinite recursion about it which is nice.

Regardless of the source, the public narrative has lost any semblance of veracity and it morphed into "infotainment" best case and propaganda as worst case. The current and next two-three generations will be further sliding downhill, truly becoming the peons the current "true elites" wishes them to become, but in this degeneration they will also loose all that makes the human spirit innovative, ambitious and be reduced from living to simply existing. <br />The aforementioned "true elites" on the other hand fool themselves if they think a society can survive relying on such vegetating members. People fallen down on that level simply do not care for anything than their individual level of subsistence and the "modern society" will loose its infrastructure slowly but accelerating with the level of indifference manifested by the "peons" tasked with its maintenance. The "true elites" themselves cannot maintain this infrastructure which is absolutely critical for maintaining their control over the "modern society" - even if they have the know-how they don't have the manpower. They relied on the manipulated "peons", but the lower these fall, the less they care and the faster the infrastructure collapses. <br />That's the point of collapse for this whole utopia (or dystopia - depending if you are an "elite" or a "peon"), because, while the "peons" have become indifferent, they do care about their survival and a collapsed infrastructure threatens exactly this survival. That's the point where "peons" become a mob and the mob rages against anything and everything not a part of itself and that means open season against "elites"...<br />But that's some generations in the future, currently society is already sliding on the downward path past the point of no return. I'm old enough to don't really expect to live longer than the next 20-25 years and I'm afraid these are not going to be restful years...CGR710https://www.blogger.com/profile/15505866142053585054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-59953984204432929942021-07-16T06:40:20.188-05:002021-07-16T06:40:20.188-05:00"And the term “successor ideology” works beca...<i>"And the term “successor ideology” works because it centers the fact that this ideology wishes, first and foremost, to repeal and succeed a liberal society and democracy."</i><br /><br />Let's make this more clear. They intend to be the successors to the formerly White, formerly Western, formerly Christian America.<br /><br /><i>"They're gearing up to fight tooth and nail to suppress and eradicate any and all challenges to the election"</i><br /><br />Always remember that <i>we</i> are the challenge to their authority that must be suppressed and eradicated. <b>We</b> are the carbon they so desire to eliminate.<br /><br /><i>"they're convinced that they're right, and we're wrong, and it's their mission, their destiny, to eradicate our false beliefs and make us toe the Party line."</i><br /><br />This is called genocide. The previous times this was tried have names like "holodomor" and "killing fields" and "cultural revolution".<br /><br /><i>"We stand or fall here - and we'd better not fall, because if we do, we'll be ground into the dirt, and our children and our children's children will never know what it is to be free."</i><br /><br />The future is mountains of skulls, rivers of blood, and oceans of tears.
