There are debates that can get rancorous and occasionally someone like Alex Jones will go too far in over sensationalizing a conspiracy theory such that it may become slanderous or actionable in civil court. But otherwise outlandish or even absurd conspiracy theorists go about their business unimpeded. Nobody cares about them aside from true believers and spergy skeptics. In this one can easily discern the conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality versus the ones that make the ruling class nervous and rail against them.<br />
<br />
On a quick side note, I'm distinguishing here between conspiracy theories and attempts to de-platform and silence or censor those who espouse any politically critical viewpoint to even a hair to the right of Trotsky which annoys or contradicts the diktats of the Ruling Class. Of concern here is the latter.<br />
<br />
So when governments and social media platforms actively and openly censor what they are pleased to call "conspiracy theories", it must be asked why and what are they afraid of if that which is being censored are lies or nonsense. Just as why are they so terrified of the general public seeing or reading "harmful information" that justifies <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScfI2RxUhUo" target="_blank">draconian censoring</a>. Does harmful information make PC's, laptops or smartphones explode in the users face or cause other physical or psychological injuries? Are our betters desperate to protect us from reading the 21st century high-tech <i><a href="https://study.com/academy/lesson/the-king-in-yellow-by-robert-chambers.html#:~:text=We've%20learned%20that%20Robert,play%20and%20published%20in%201895.">King in Yellow</a> </i>which would make us all hopelessly mad? <br />
<br />Then this is the case of virologists, epidemiologists, doctors and nurses who questioned the mandatory COVID-19 national lockdowns along with the mandatory wearing of facemasks, latex gloves and standing 6 feet/2 meters apart social distancing restrictions. Even quoting the CDC can get one censored for misinformation to the point where the CDC is refusing to release certain information as they make the asinine claim that information can be somehow "misused".<br />
<br />
There are three levels of this censorship and silencing- <div><br /></div><div>There are the rank and file progressive liberals, woke and social justice warriors whose puritan sensitivity to questioning the religious doctrines of their cargo cult threatens their faith and presumably hurts their chances of getting into progressive heaven, whatever that is. So much so that they view it as tantamount to physical violence that must be met with at least casting the blasphemer into the void if not physically attacking the satanic miscreant. Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. Remember this, friends who live in red states or red areas, no matter how safe you think you are or how often you retreat to a new Galt's Gulch, the left is still coming for you too. And they will never stop coming for you no matter where you run to.<br />
<br />
Then there is the managerial government's need to control all things including the thoughts and actions of their serfs. That the proles and serfs realize that they're being lied to while being forced to say the lie is true is all part of breaking them by humiliating them. In Germany, one can be arrested for questioning the official government dogma of climate change (whatever that happens to mean this week). Arrest and a show trial or a government official Karen to publicly shame dissidents are useful tools to frighten the masses into obedience. In this, the Ruling Class, the managerial bureaucrats and politicians, their non-profit foundation and think-tank advisors have no ideological bent or dogma. This is purely the mechanics of power where ideology is nothing more than a blueprint or schematic and is chosen as strictly functional.<br />
<br />So last but not least in censorship and silencing, in fact the most egregious of all, we have the corporate vassals. Many give a pass to the government on this and focus all their ire on the big, bad, corporations but they may realize that in this censorship, they lose customers/clients and in doing so, lose money but they have a way out of get woke, go broke. This is to any sensible person as counterproductive to any business as it would be to boo the bad guy puppets at a puppet show but it doesn't matter in the economy of the new world order. It serves the government well as a diversion away from the fact that they are in fact pulling the strings. Then it also gives the government the plausible deniability of "it's a private business, they can do what they want and we can't tell them what to do" the government quietly does end runs around the constitution. Unless of course, the issue is a bakery refusing to bake a cake for a same sex wedding and "muh private business" goes right out the window because...reasons.</div><div><br /></div><div>But don't worry. The cooperative folks at Big Tech, other big corps and banks get their nice government contracts or bailouts, quantitative easing thanks to corporate devotion to BlackRock's ESG scores and endless regulations to keep upstart competition out of the market. The released Twitter files and Mark Zuckerberg's own words shows just how closely the government supervised what may or may not be said on those platform and it's a safe bet that other social media platforms are doing the same. In this environment, businesses that want to survive and flourish find that not only was <a href="https://stefangeens.com/2001-2013/2001/06/phaemons-dog-was-right/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Phaemon's Dog</a> right, but he eats well too. However, this merger of managerial capitalism and managerial government was only a matter of time as both are based on the same paradigm with similar goals and realized cooperation was more effective and profitable for both. </div><div><br /></div><div>For comparison, the People's Republic of China, big businesses make payouts to CCP officials, crawl on their hands and knees as slavish cheerleaders for the CCP to get a piece of the action there but for the most part, have CCP members as owners, partners or as officers of the company. How many mainstream media companies have former politicians and government officials on their payroll and former appointed or tenured bureaucrats working in various corporations and the financial industry. This model our managerial bureaucrats are imposing on the US is not because they believe in Mao or Xi thought or communism in general, but because it increases their power and makes it both hidden under a thin corporate veil and unassailable. They can play the old good cop/bad cop routine until they feel safe enough to wield plenary power out in the open.</div><div><br /></div><div>So these corporate and bankster worms deserve some derision and catcalls but they are only the henchmen at worst or at best, simply trying to survive in the managerial jungle. Always stay focused on the big picture of who has the monopoly on force and violence and look for who really is pulling the strings. Then think carefully about not only who to vote for for president, but <a href="https://www.custodiasepulchrum.com/search?q=the+great+guy+syndrome" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the great guy politician</a> you are planning to re-elect to the congress or the senate.<br />

<br /><br />P.S.: It would seem contradictory to write here about censorship and not being censored but there is a reason for this. Written blogs, especially wall of text type blogs, mostly aren't considered the "in thing" anymore as the real influencers and big name e-celebs are on YouTube, Tiktok, Twitter or X if you will, among other popular platforms. Then there is the definition of who is an influencer which would be those with a large following, large number of likes to dislikes ratio and with a sizeable interaction in the comments section. These are the ones that attract attention and can face being demonetized, accounts deleted or facing de-platforming in other areas. So this blog fits none of these description with no followers, few readers and no comments and as such can fly below the radar even when pushing the edge of the envelope with the TOS. I would not be surprised to learn that most of those who read this blog are law enforcement, NGO's like the SPLC or ADL, or woke inquisitors searching out up and coming heretics to burn at the stake. But even they aren't stupid enough to invoke the Streisand Effect and if they bother to make any mention of this blog at all, it's to whine or grumble about it in their own echo chambers which I don't care about. </div><div><br /></div><div>P.P.S.: On a personal note, I don't really write for fame and fortune but rather because I find it cathartic and a way to explore and evaluate my own ideas. I write on any topic, criticize anyone I find deserves criticism no matter of what political stripe and never try to advertise this blog. Not the formula for a successful influencer and e-celeb but I have no interest in that as it would obligate me to write on topics that would be popular with an audience, refrain from criticizing their sacred cows, and write on a daily basis none of which I really want. Furthermore, it can be frustrating finding a topic to write about on a daily basis without being repetitious and boring to me or taking the time from other things I'd rather be doing to write. I can write or not when I feel like it or have the time for it. It's best this way as nobody wastes their time persecuting some nobody internet rando with the gall and audacity to sign his own name to posts and is effectively talking into the void. Otherwise, they'd make the rando a somebody whose heretical ideas may find an audience. Or perhaps, it's a way to allow what I say to quietly seep out into the wider world. Maybe the quiet ones can be the most dangerous after all.<br /><br /></div>Cavhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14435011517423286580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336022995635475680.post-73612067944349466862023-09-01T19:33:00.000-04:002023-09-01T19:33:00.883-04:00Humans Monetized and As Dematerialized Property<p> When the WEF or other foundations and NGO's promote trans-humanism, it is almost a 100% certainty that the only benefit will be to those referred to as the stakeholders. To define stakeholders, it would be easier to say who they are not: The average person that the likes of Yuval Harari would refer to as "useless people". Then the benefits to the stakeholders may be as follows.</p><p>The recent debates on whether children or young adults can determine their own sex or gender and have unlimited access to drugs and surgery to approximate their perceived gender. This gnostic concept of gender, as it's defined by adherents of trans-sexualism and their allies in government, NGO's, the medical, pharmaceutical and psychiatric industries has brought into being the concept of the human body as property. One is no longer the owner of their own body and life with inalienable rights but a property that can be leased back to the individual. This is property that can be monetized, leased or rented but never owned by an individual but only owned by private entities like a corporation or a bank. </p><p>Bear in mind, as the monopoly on force and violence is the definition of power and wielded solely by government. Any power, or more properly, franchised privilege, granted to any private entities is granted only by government and directly used by government to their benefit. Banks and corporations are therefore only the cat's paw of government. It's important to understand exactly who is really pushing these agendas discerning the puppet from the puppeteer.</p><p>In the recent rental and leasing business model which is becoming more common where to paraphrase Klaus Schwab* that people don't really want to own property but only to have the benefits of it and so they're content to merely rent it. The trans movement brings this concept to simply enjoying the benefits of the modified human form itself without really owning it. Wherein what our managerial government overlords were pleased to call the covid pandemic crises, granted themselves the power to compel its citizens to be injected with an experimental drug, among other restrictions, and thus denied individual human beings the control over their own bodies which made them de-facto property of the state. Then the concept of gender, as opposed to biological sex, made surgical modifications to the human body a rental property of the biomedical industry because it entails permanent drugs and medical supplies needed to maintain the surgical changes, all with the government's blessings. Whenever property is taken from individual ownership and transferred to the collective ownership of government, banks or corporations, such property, as Samuel Francis put it, is dematerialized. Similar to digital currencies and cryptocurrencies no longer being physical currency as being dematerialized in a literal and physical sense.</p><p>You will own nothing, have no privacy and be happy may include one's own body if they wish to transcend their own mundane human form through sex change surgery or other trans-humanist modifications. All of these procedures cost money as well as the ongoing corrective or palliative surgeries, pre or post-operative costs of any drugs, medical devices, follow-up exams or psychological counseling that will be incurred over the rest of the surgically modified human's life. In other words, the surgically modified trans-human in a sense now rents their modified body with a maintenance contract from the various medical industries involved and are now, in a sense, the property of said industries. The free human being as the owner of their own body and life is dematerialized under permanent medical supervision.</p><p><br /></p><p>Donald Cavaioli</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>* I attributed the paraphrased quote to Klaus Schwab based on memory and have been unable to track down the original quote regarding business moving to a renting and leasing model and whether it was said by Schwab or some other individual. No surprise there if it was either scrubbed from the internet or buried several pages down on most search engines if it is displayed at all. The World Economic Forum had produced the infamous "Welcome to 2030" video and later, when it became too well known outside globalist corporate and government circles and criticized, denied everything said in the video calling it instead, a conspiracy theory. As well as Schwab's well publicized book and quotes about using the covid crisis as a vehicle to implement the WEF Great Reset and 4th Industrial Revolution policies which is still officially stamped as "debunked" by the mainstream media. Then only because the MSM said so without further proof, and derides critics citing the book and quotes as promoting a conspiracy theory-shaming language used to silence and dissuade people from believing what they see or hear. However, if I find the attribution incorrect or proof is shown here that the quote is incorrect, I will remove it immediately.</p>Cavhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14435011517423286580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336022995635475680.post-75223980786672657092023-08-20T17:49:00.001-04:002023-08-23T19:43:54.165-04:00Further comments on YouTuber MentisWave post: Refuting Biden: "You need an F-15!" sO jUst GiVe uP YeR GUnZ!<p>To further elaborate on a comment I left in this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn5MRlaWTns" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MentisWave YouTube post</a>:</p><p>The reason Biden, Swawell and other liberals make these cringe threats about nukes and F-15's is that they're not scared of the boogaloo boyz, successionists, or the other 2A keyboard Rambos. And this is bad considering what cowards liberals and other leftists tend to be. But after 20 years or more of this "something's gonna, you leftists, it's gonna happen...soon...any day now....any year now..." who can take these threats seriously anymore?</p><p>All talk, no action, from the internet super ninja warriors that even the most vapid leftist in the lowest ranks of the progressive/woke peanut gallery realizes just how full of shit these guys are. So stop it already.</p><p>There are some real serious hurdles to this revolution, succession or whatever this fantasy may be. First, how will this boogaloo thing get organized and started anyway? How many supporters will be federal agents, informants, or local law enforcement creating a honeypot to arrest some idiots for planning crimes or posting the most outrageous racist nonsense and the most insipid conspiracy theories to discredit the entire right?</p><p>Let's say the organizers can weed out infiltrators and informants, then on to the next hurdle. For all the talk about it's only 2%, 5% or 10% of the population ready, willing and able to successfully fight this revolution, don't forget what the other 98%, 95%, or 90% think about this enterprise. More than half of them, including the military and law enforcement, if not participants, must be willing to give some <i>sub-rosa</i> support if not simple agreement with the cause and tacit support. Otherwise, the 10% will find themselves isolated and being ratted out to Federal forces or local law enforcement to be slaughtered with extreme prejudice. So how much support can be expected and how does one measure it?</p><p>Then for all the smarmy talk from the internet warriors about how the US lost Vietnam, Afghanistan, whatever, to barefoot peasant tribesmen armed only with AK-47's, remember there were rules of engagement involved as our managerial overlords hate to cause harm to non-whites. White Americans, on the other hand, will be evil white supremacists plotting to resurrect cyber Hitler and say all sorts of mean things to hurt leftists feelings. So not only will there be no rules of engagement but most likely, the atrocities, torture and war crimes that will happen will at least have the Whitehouse, Congress and the Department of Defense turn a blind eye to it. Or at worst, soldiers who commit these crimes will be given medals and lauded in the mainstream media as heroes. There can be no treatment cruel enough or brutal enough when fighting modern supernazis in defense of "Our Democracy" (tm). So no, tanks don't hold blocks, they blow them to pieces and turn wannabe rebels and their families into fingerpaint while Joe and Jane Normie cheer.</p><p>So not only will the great right wing revolution not be televised, but it is unlikely to happen anytime in the near future. So get real, guys, stop sperging about how democracy and the constitution failed and awaiting some messiah to arrive and rescue you. Understand change will only come after years of getting more serious conservative people, not GOPe fakes, with the balls to tell off the left, woketards, etc. and cut all ties with the WEF, UN and WHO agendas into elected positions. Unfortunately it will take as many generations to fix this mess as it took to get into it. But this is the only way out.</p><p>Donald Cavaioli</p>Cavhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14435011517423286580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336022995635475680.post-91366398153336332382023-07-07T20:17:00.001-04:002023-07-07T20:17:50.786-04:00The Magic King Approaches! or How I learned to stop thinking and love the Russian Federation<p><br /></p><p>Not being properly schooled in gnostic mysticism from the scriptures and prophesies of Evola, I can't fully understand mechanics of how the Magic King will ascend to his throne but maybe there are certain signs that will herald the approach of this messiah. </p><p>Unfortunately, I can't read those signs either so I'll just listen to those more learned in these matters and LO!, our aetherial majesty approacheth! Recent events such as the war in Ukraine may have revealed the Magic King, and most of the right and trans-right have anointed him the Latter Day Prester John- Vladimir Putin the implacable foe of badness and puter of wrong things right.</p><div><br /></div><div>With the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent support of of the latter by the entire woke establishment, the only acceptable and <a href="https://www.custodiasepulchrum.com/2023/07/the-political-dysphoria-of-trans-right.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">correct position of the official true right</a>, not to be confused with Conservatism Inc. of the NRO, is to support the Russian Federation. The reasons given for not supporting the current thing are elucidated in grim detail <a href="https://www.custodiasepulchrum.com/2023/07/the-magic-king.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in this previous post</a>. In short, it's all emotional and mostly concern what a rat, corrupt piece of shit and spawn of the devil Volodymyr Zelensky is. </div><div><br /></div><div>How does the Magic King manifest? Let's break it down: Zelensky represents in one person the whole of the globohomo cabal, an American Empire puppet, a Nazi and of course, a jooo. Obviously, the Azov Battalion Nazis are so much more open minded these days about Jews being the president of their country and, this ain't your granddad's NSDAP. Or maybe the mid 20th century German Nazis were really some kind of Jewish and American Empire secret conspiracy to take over Europe because the devils are always cunningly evil. Therefore, all the problems in Europe (the UK included as Europe) aren't really from Europeans making bad decisions at the ballot box, but are really the fault of the Americans, you know. There's CIA color revolutions, Vicky Nuland, and Barry Obama's shenanigans, all evil conspiracies against the forces of good, and did I mention Zelensky is a corrupt asshole too. </div><div><br /></div><div>All valid reasons for Russia violating the Budapest Memorandum because as we all know, treaties and other international agreements are contingent on the leader of a country involved being a great guy. Then if there's any rumor of CIA involvement in anything bad, then it must be true because America is evil. If America supports Zelensky and Ukraine, then Zelensky and the Ukraine are evil too.</div><div><br /></div><div>So this segment of the right, like the left, falls into the angels and devils dichotomy. The devil is always lies, is always evil and even if the devil says something that is true or does something that may be objectively good, it is really lies and evil.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here, in this model of "thought", as the Zelensky devil is a highly ranked prince of hell, this angel opposing him must be equally powerful and thus our Magic King.</div><div><br /></div><div>But true to leftist emotional form, human beings have no moral agency but only a fixed, immutable nature. Therefore, the angels and devils dichotomy holds true. The devil is always evil and always lies. So even if the devil does something that appears good or somehow tells the truth, it's really an evil action and the truth is summarily dismissed as a lie. Then whoever opposes the devil must be the angel and the angel is all good and never lies. But even if the angel does something appears evil or lies, it's for a good reason and excused. Nor is it a lie if you look at it from the proper perspective and omit certain uncomfortable facts as the devil's lies. </div><div><br /></div><div>Here in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, The Magic King Putin, the angel, is always good and never lies and Zelensky, the devil, is always evil and always lies. Trust RTN's pronouncements and ignore the Ukrainians as they're just too stupid to realize that they are really pawns fighting a proxy war on behalf of the American Empire and NATO aggression. America fights to the last Ukrainian, as the vatniks love to say, in America's insane desire to destroy Russia because reasons and stuff. Or rather, the devil is outraged by good and must destroy it because that's just the devil's thing.</div><div><br /></div><div>Even if examples of this NATO aggression against Russia or even a military buildup in NATO countries could not be seen in mundane reality and only 5 Russian invasions of 3 neighboring countries appear to our lying eyes, we must believe Russia. Even if there were no physical threats, western countries definitely said mean things to Putin and severely hurt the Magic King's feelings and offended God which is not only sacrilege tantamount to physical assault but deserves physical aggression in retaliation. Let it be noted as aggression purely as defense against a threat firmly supported by spectral evidence. So Russia and Putin are the real victims here! Believe this only because Putin said so and the Magic King <i><b>never</b></i> lies. </div><div><br /></div><div>It's amazing though, how Putin can be at the same time a galaxy brain master strategist with the most fantastic high tech weaponry on Earth winning a war, any day now, to being a victim of the malefactors of the west, fighting 50 countries at the same time and only managing a stalemate. </div><div><br /></div><div>Yes, don't think too much about this war or special operation of guys with guns to protect Russia against Nazi ghosts and invisible NATO troops. Just believe Putin is the Magic King and follow the Russians. Know only that the American CIA serpent in the form of Zelensky entered the Russian garden of Maidan and corrupted some Russians into imagining they're some made up thing called <i>Ukrainians.</i> Then the serpent caused them to commit the sin of insurrection against their rightful sovereign, his sacred majesty Putin, who rules by divine right, and commit fratricide against their Russian brothers. Just like Caine and Able. </div><div><br /></div><div>If this is too much <a href="https://www.custodiasepulchrum.com/2018/12/the-emoters-inconsistency-and-how-he.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">squaring the circle</a>, (or rather circling of the square, 'cause we're the not-left right.) nonsense to swallow and one anywhere on the right wants to keep the friendship and goodwill of the trans-right, NRX crowd, etc. (because they're the edgy, cool guys?) then the counter-programmed "I'm against the current thing" NPC will see us through.</div><div><br /></div><div>As an aside, to sum up the politically correct official right position, it's not that the Ukraine was and is a separate country and Ukrainians are fighting for their country against invading Russians in violation of the Budapest Memorandum. But it's the apocalyptic battle of the Magic King's forces of nationalist good against the American Empire's EU globohomo NATO trans-nationalists forces of evil. Or rather a strong-man nationalist dictator that gets all the boys and girls of the not-left right all hot and bothered, taking the empire that is his by divine right. </div><div><br /></div><div>Well, certainly not a rhetorical battle between the dysphoric, nationalist left who identify as the right and the Marxian left that those on the unenlightened, heretical, right like myself imagine it to be. But a battle to usher in a NRX wet dream of very small, self-contained, isolationist countries ruled by wise and benevolent absolute monarchs. Magic Kings, princes and hereditary aristocrats wearing super cool uniforms while riding horses and all the fancy pomp and pageantry to the gaping amazement of their properly subservient peasants.</div><div>And who says you can't immanentize the eschaton?</div><div><br /></div><div>Donald Cavaioli</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Cavhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14435011517423286580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336022995635475680.post-39391661995538591012023-07-06T15:07:00.002-04:002023-08-18T14:23:21.436-04:00The Magic King <div><br /></div><div>What seems to be driving much of the dissident right movement is a belief that democracy has failed, the U.S. constitution has failed. We cannot vote our way out of our current problems as the uniparty puts forward all the candidates and will somehow stop insurgents from running or that we shouldn't even bother to try. Vote harder is used as a mocking sneer against anyone who would try from the passivists wallowing in their own sense of helplessness.</div><div><br /></div><div>So the best thing to do is nothing, except perhaps form some kind of monastic alternative institutions to await the arrival of a messianic figure, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_man_theory" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Great Man</a>. He will then be crowned as an absolute monarch, the Magic King, God's very own hand picked monarch who rules by divine right and will act in his people's best interest because he's that kind of a great guy. Then the Magic King will defeat the leftist globalists and globohomo of the evil American Empire and fix everything for us just the way the neo/reactionary dissidents would like it because the King and all his descendants can do nothing other than care for his people and nation. I mean, he just has to do these things and be a great guy 'cause it's some kind of law of the universe! </div><div><br /></div><div>This is the sort of thinking is characteristic of <a href="https://www.custodiasepulchrum.com/2020/01/peasant-dreams-of-ideal-kings-and.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">peasants dreaming of ideal, strongman kings</a>, looking uber cool riding horses while wearing spiffy uniforms. Middle class strivers who having never broken into the ranks of the current ruling class, yet still view themselves as undervalued '10's'. The sort of strivers who dream of being proclaimed kings and ruling class aristocrats because they're so awesome even if no one else notices how awesome they are. Or perhaps latent homosexuals or submissive women with a BDSM fetish for being dominated by powerful alpha males. No judgements here, to each his own, you do you, etc. but outrè or kinky fantasies are no basis for a form of government. </div><div><br /></div><div>This belief in a benevolent monarch is pure magical thinking, a child-like belief in a Utopia. Magic King supporters believe absolute monarchy was destroyed by the evil forces of the Enlightenment. Some devil came along and seduced the peasants with the rights of man and self-governance causing them to be expelled from the feudal Eden. A similar line of thinking to neo-confederates who believe in a utopian antebellum America in general and the south in particular which became a paradise lost when the serpent, Abraham Lincoln, entered the garden and seduced the innocents into eating the forbidden fruit of abolition. But, the Magic King, like a messiah, will return during the apocalyptic collapse of liberal democracy and lead us back to Utopia. So who says you shouldn't immanentize the eschaton?</div><div><br /></div><div>The fallacy in this 'absolute monarch is good' reasoning is how will this king's actions be constrained? How will God intercede if the king who rules by divine right does not rule according to God's laws or oppresses the people over which the monarch rules? How do we even know that the King rules by divine right unless God Himself appears and personally announces this to the masses. Must we take the Magic King's word for it because he wouldn't lie about something as serious as divine right? God's appearance and declaration to the people that this king is God's personally chosen monarch has never been recorded in history so all we ever have had was the king's word on this or the headsman, also chosen by divine right it seems, for those who disagreed. </div><div><br /></div><div>Usually throughout history, the man who becomes the king does so because he leads a large and powerful enough army to seize power at the point of a sword and declares himself a monarch by divine right because the king and his army said so. And for anyone who questions this divine right, there's a group of very angry looking soldiers at the front door whose swords would like a word with you, unarmed and outnumbered peasant. Men who are ambitious and want power usually don't fall into the real nice guy camp and whatever benevolence they have is used sparingly and tactically to maintain control but only if necessary. But that benevolence towards the peasantry at least, can always be rescinded at the whim of the king and he answers to no one in this. The armed aristocracy of lords with their own armies, if there are any in the realm, is another matter. Power flows from the barrel of a gun and from nowhere else.</div><div><br /></div><div>If it is in the king's best interests to rule justly and benevolently over his subjects whom he will treat as his own children, then what stops the king from conflating his own greed or avarice with the best interests of his kingdom and treating his subjects like his livestock. How many peasants were annihilated by machinegun fire as they went over the top of the trenches in WWI for King and Country and how many times were these massacres repeated? </div><div><br /></div><div>Even if the first king of the dynasty is a wise and benevolent ruler, what guarantee is there that his descendants would be the same? The answer to this is there is no guarantee and worse, as long as a large enough army supports the king against all other pretenders to the throne, he will stay in power no matter how bad he is. If in the event he is ousted, then what guarantee is there that his successor will be any better? There are none. Which is why this support for an absolute monarch is based on nostalgic fantasies, wishful thinking and an emotional desire for an earthly messianic savior to guide those helpless and hapless peasants to an imaginary utopia.</div><div><br /></div><div>Finally, the main thing the absolute monarch/Magic King fans miss is that the problem with any previously functional society does not stem from the flaws in the organizational principles of the society but the flaws in all human beings who make up that society. If Man, unconstrained by some power higher than himself even if it's his fellow Man, is given unconstrained, absolute power, then nothing prevents him from being corrupted by or abusing that power. We can place the Magic King in the same category as the new socialist man. Neither model fits within normal human behavior and so both are impossible.</div><div><br /></div><div>For those who might find this post upsetting, this is not "punching to the right". This Magic King is very much on the political left as it advocates for a strong, authoritarian, top down centrally managed government based around an ideology- rule by divine right usually in Christendom. This makes reactionaries/neo-reactionaries, et al, who claim the mantle of the right, the very model of the political dysphoria of leftists in right wing drag. Words have a definition, concepts based on logic and reason and this includes the definition of the political/economic left and the right. The political spectrum is a straight line with increasing shading of left and right emanating from the center. Any other shape with conventions arbitrarily placed on it is simply nonsense used by post modernists and closeted leftists to hide themselves under whatever side or label they like.</div><div><br /></div><div>Donald Cavaioli</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><br /></div>Cavhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14435011517423286580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336022995635475680.post-65708747158998501682023-07-04T14:33:00.003-04:002023-07-04T14:33:53.837-04:00Happy Fourth of July<p> Today is not the day for anything other than celebration so happy 4th everyone!</p><p>Be back tomorrow.</p>Cavhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14435011517423286580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336022995635475680.post-90309398187969077212023-07-03T15:31:00.002-04:002023-08-26T06:54:21.891-04:00The Political Dysphoria of the Trans-Right<p> Over the 20th century, Marxists have been successful in establishing themselves as not only the standard bearer of the left, but the very definition of the left itself. Then most other non-Marxist leftists, having accepted the supremacy of Marxism found themselves politically homeless. Many of them being fundamentally post-modernist relied on their tried and true gnostic belief in unknowable truths to redefine themselves as the right. Because after all, in these modern times, the old definition of right and left no longer applies as they argue. There is no right or left as it's now us guys over here on our side of the great debate who think this and those other guys over there who think something else. So if we disagree with the other guys who say they are the left as they understand the term through the personal epiphany of gnosis, then we who disagree with the leftist must be on the right in this exercise. If a group can't define themselves logically and rationally, then that group can fancy themselves to be anything they want but they are really nothing at all. </p><p>And so we have the essence of the trans-right of non-Marxian leftists parading about in right-wing drag. They are easily spotted as they usually spend most of their time bashing conservatives and others on the right and refuse to do anything to really oppose the left other than mildly complain about them. </p><p>And in this, all the trans-right needs to add is using nationalism as a sort of boob job to complete the ensemble. Because, if the Marxian leftist is an internationalist, the those on the right must be nationalist as the right is the opposite of the left.</p><div>Further, where the officially recognized leftist is the "I support the current thing" NPC, those who identify as being on the right become a counter-programmed "I'm against the current thing" NPC. Even if there's no such thing as the political left and the right there must be some kind of opposition to those guys over there who think something different from what we think. </div><div><br /></div><div>Strictly following either the precepts of a central ideological authority or opposing those who espouse heretical or blasphemous positions for no other reason than it's the views that come from those guys who think different over there is the hallmark of the leftist even if he hates Marx and identifies as a nationalist.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's all really just pure emoting over words and phrases. Squaring the circle by taking positions based on emotion is exactly what any leftist worth his salt does.</div><div><br /></div><div>Whereas the leftist current thing is usually based on lies used to promote their agenda, we must still be careful to consider the current thing in context and whether it should be opposed or not based on the facts. Maybe this time the left stumbled onto something that is right because even a broken clock is right twice a day and it would be necessary to deny the left any victory. But not just to deny the left a victory in an issue that is morally and intellectually correct but to expose the left's subterfuge in using the issue to promote their agenda or expand their power. There is more persuasive power in an argument that is true to convince the majority centrist, non-political Joe and Jane Normie to support your cause than a lie hiding the nasty agenda even the normies can see. </div><div><br /></div><div>And mostly what the normies need to take a stand, to take action, is to feel that not only are they supporting a position that is justified and true and aligned with their values, but that there are many others out there who also support it. There is strength in numbers.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's important to for anyone right of center to know who is really on their side and be able to spot and reject the trans-right infiltrator who wears the political right and nationalism like a skin suit to promote their non-Marxian leftist agendas. Just as the Marxian leftists did with liberalism and the Democratic party. Seeing a trend here? More on that in the next post. </div><div><br /></div><div>If the right is to have any hope of winning the political and cultural wars, then the non-Marxian leftists, like the left of center moderates and neo-cons must be, disavowed, rejected and expelled from the right. For as they are just as much the enemy as the Marxian leftists.</div><div><br /></div><div>Donald Cavaioli</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Cavhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14435011517423286580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336022995635475680.post-27375999635569840122023-06-26T21:47:00.000-04:002023-06-26T21:47:41.894-04:00The Moral and Intellectual Cowardice of Moderates and Liberals<p> In reference to an article posted in PoliticsNY titled- </p><p><b><a href="https://politicsny.com/2022/10/14/at-witts-end-citizen-bounty-hunters-for-parking-infractions-will-sew-discord/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">At Witts End: Citizen bounty hunters for parking infractions will sew discord</a></b></p><p>Written by Stephen Witt and posted October 14, 2022</p><p>Oh, Stephen, Stephen, to be at your Witt's end you would need to be more than a simple mid-wit which after sampling you columns, mid-wit may be a very generous compliment indeed.</p><p>First of all, to call Lincoln Restler an epic smooth brain moron would be grossly unfair and insulting to smooth brained morons everywhere. But surprisingly, to anyone who has the stomach to endure Restler's mind dwarfing verbal diarrhea and stoically endure the cacophony of brain cells screaming in agony as they die, they would be surprised to learn there are many more people more unspeakably vapid and more psychologically demented than Restler- his voters and the hybrid mutations of Transportation Alternatives.</p><p>Overall, this article simply highlights the fatuous posturing of moral superiority, of taking the high road of "being above the fray" in pretending to take no sides all the while being sympathetic to the more radical leftist which illustrates why the moderate and liberal (1960's-70's mainstream variant) has failed. These sorts of weasels want to be seen as the good guys, the non-partisan, as if it would imbue them with some kind of magical intellectual and moral superiority. But in reality, they're sophists of the lowest order, desperate to be liked by both sides in a debate. Never once will a moderate or liberal put his foot down and say "this is right and that is wrong". Instead, this species of worm will answer the question of what do you think? with an "I think what you think but the other guy sorta has a point too". The last part of the other guy sorta has a point too is conditional on if the liberal or moderate thinks no one will so much as look at them with even a small trace of consternation for saying it. </p><p><span style="font-family: Cardo, serif; font-size: 22.7017px;">"In American politics we seem to be moving further to the extremes. Trying to reach the center and compromise is all too often shunned. It’s seen as somehow selling out. In truth, American politics at its best has always been about consensus building to make for the art of the possible."</span></p><p>That is, if the art of the possible is giving leftists only most of what they want for now and the rest of it later as the moderates and liberals that infest this city have proven wont to do over many years. If Rome wasn't built in a day, then this SDA wet dream of a mess made in this city took many years to get to- all with nice, well meaning, liberals and moderates finding this consensus and middle ground which always seemed to lurch slightly left. More important than asking what is possible is asking is this necessary or needed, should we do this and what are the consequences for doing so. And this is the reason why liberalism and moderation has failed in modern politics as they never ask those questions and offer nothing but banal platitudes that makes them useless at best. But when they either go along with the more radical leftist policies or refuse to oppose them with more than tepid objections, they become radical enablers and are worse than useless. Because of this, these are the people who are the most responsible for the asinine progressive leftist policies destroying New York offering only their incessant whining about the growing left-right political divide and all because they'd be mortified to really oppose or stop the Democratic Socialists of America or other leftists lest they be called racists or Trump supporters. In this, liberals and moderates sell out all the time.</p><p><span style="font-family: Cardo, serif; font-size: 22.7017px;">"But their [the progressive bike lobby] often heavy-handedness on issues and mob-like tactics on social media can be viewed as a microcosm of what is wrong with American politics today. Too often we get activists and elected leadership from both the right and the left thinking it’s all their way or the highway. The palette is all black and white with no colors in the middle."</span></p><p>They will inevitably damn the right with faint praise and make the mildest criticism against the left for which they will do so either with conditional weasel words or find a flimsy excuse for the damage the left has caused. But still trying to be that "I'm above it all" galaxy brain, Olympian cool poser with a pox on both your houses sneer which is their epic failure at trying to look intelligent and showing some backbone. Sometimes, even many times, there is a real good and bad/right and wrong/smart or stupid idea when we must have the courage to take that black and white response and get some idiot upset. This is where real courage, common sense and intelligence come in and a position in which liberals and moderates are never found.</p><p><span style="font-family: Cardo, serif; font-size: 22.7017px;">"While critical, this column is not a put down per se of the progressive bike lobby. They have accomplished many good things for the city. Protected bike lanes and other changes that make streets more equitably utilized are generally very positive improvements."</span></p><p>Then too, the moderate or liberal when ever so gently criticizing the more radical left will offer some apology for that criticism or the sheepish "I kind of agree with the leftist but personally I'm not that radical and wouldn't go with that myself" all the while doing nothing to stop it. For no matter how "not that radical" the liberal and moderate may be, they never find the courage to actually oppose it with more than oleaginous milquetoast words.</p><p>In the end this is because, to paraphrase Wittaker Chambers that the liberal thinks the communist is really a rather noble fellow who deserves special consideration in a harsh and reactionary world. Then as the slimy poltroons pretending not to be the co-conspirator of the communists, moderates and liberals are worse than the most woke or SJW twats and so deserve the harshest condemnation and censure.</p><p>In regards to the Bike Karen bounty bill that greasy asshole Restler introduced, it died a well deserved death in the city council. Even that collection of leftist dementrons in the city council still had enough functioning cells in those neural junkyards that serve as their head filler to dimly realize just how idiotic that bill was. An accident in our favor for once.</p><p><br /></p><p>Donald Cavaioli</p><p><br /></p>Cavhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14435011517423286580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336022995635475680.post-33636137582809021272023-06-25T15:19:00.005-04:002023-08-18T14:12:42.541-04:00We're all Americans Except When We're Not.<p>Our Glorious Managerial Overlords never tire of telling us that from whatever corner of the world one comes from and as soon as they step off the plane or boat or what have you, they are just as American as any person of European Christian descent whose ancestry goes back to the colonial era. Or any similar whose ancestors immigrated and assimilated since. In fact, to disagree with a white progressive liberal on this is blasphemy and punishable as a hate crime. </p><p>And as such the newcomer, whatever his race or religion must be accorded all the respect and hailed as a fellow American especially if he steadfastly refuses to assimilate to the local American culture as soon as his foot touches US soil. The newcomers, as the progressive liberal religion permits, is only an honest-to-goodness, mom, Chevrolet and apple pie American when it's convenient for them and may retain their own ethnicity when it's advantageous. And thus, they demand respect as both at the same time. A cynic would accuse such newcomers of gaming the system to their advantage while thoroughly fucking over their "fellow Americans" and openly laughing at us as they do so. </p><p>But this isn't the fault of the newcomers but the fault of the native born Americans who allow themselves to be taken advantage of. The Joe and Jane Normies who believed all the pretty lies of liberals and allowed themselves to be led around by the nose by SJW and woke oikophobic mutants. The peasants who vote Democrat because "dere for da woikin' guy". Then too, out of fond memories of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our very own Dark Lord, Darth Decrepit, and stupid enough to believe FDR was their friend. Keep voting Democrat and some day, the Democrats will come back to them but in the mean time, they'll cry and complain about it in the comments section on such local sites as <a href="http://queenscrap.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Queenscrap</a>, under anonymous, of course. But come election time, they will crawl off on their bellies and vote back in the same politicians they were bitching about the day before because he's really a great guy and everyone else is an idiot for voting for their corrupt, douchebag politician. It's not their fault, it's the other guy! The punchline is that nobody can ever figure out why things keep getting worse or in the best case, never change. <a href="https://www.custodiasepulchrum.com/search?q=the+travesty+of+hotel+queens" target="_blank">Welcome to Hotel Queens</a>.</p><p>Here is a cute little article from Gotham Gazette that illustrates this "I demand to be accepted and respected as an American and I'm still my own ethnicity, demand special privileges and must be respected even more for that" mentality:</p><p><a href="https://www.gothamgazette.com/city/12072-primaries-brooklyn-city-council-asian-opportunity-district-43?mc_cid=0771c4c96f&mc_eid=071f92c3bb" target="_blank"><b><i>Party Primaries in Brooklyn Race for New City Council 'Asian Opportunity District' Come Down to the Wire</i>, June 22, 2023 by Samar Khurshid and Julia Goldberg</b></a></p><p>So we're all good Americans except when we're not and we must only be represented by our own people as the newcomers, who have formed their own exclusive ethnic colonies and cannot be represented anyone else. Gerrymandering is needed to assure the political integrity of the colony and that the colonists need not have to endure an outsider elected doling out the largess but one of their own to properly loot the public treasury. Not to dunk only on the Asians here, and again, I'm not dunking on any immigrants for playing by our rules, but all the other ethnic colonies are doing it so why not this group as well? If we the people are stupid enough to let them do it, then we deserve to be looted and even worse.</p><p> Of course, for white Americans of the sort who were born and raised here, we must accept having elected politicians of any other race or ethnicity rule over them and like it as second class citizens in their own country. If we don't respect ourselves enough to reject this, silence and send the liberal and other leftist mutants back to the fringes of society where they belong, then we deserve nothing but contempt from the immigrants. Freedom of association and freedom of opinions or choice are strictly forbidden by the woke puritans and we obey and listen to their insipid prattle and lies. This isn't simply hypocrisy, as blatant as it is, but grotesque colonialism and imperialism on such a level that doublethink alone cannot assimilate it, but a full frontal lobotomy followed by enough electroshock treatments to fry whatever neurons one has left is needed.</p><p>If we are all Americans, then we are all in playing for the team without hyphens, leaving the old country behind, or not make demands to all to bow to our original ethnicity, accommodate our unique ethnic needs or demands to be only represented by our own race or ethnicity. This is not a betrayal of the old country but acceptance of the new country as befitting a worthy adopted son or daughter. Still, the newcomers will have to work to earn the respect and acceptance of the natives, but anything one works hard for is something one truly wants and will cherish when it is achieved. Something they will proudly pass on to their descendants. For those who can accept this, I would welcome you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Donald Cavaioli</p><p><br /></p>Cavhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14435011517423286580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336022995635475680.post-85749630154114512392022-07-26T18:07:00.001-04:002023-08-18T14:14:25.922-04:00Take That, You Naughty Americans!

Presenting an argument with so many holes in it and with such selective framing and leaving out, at least to you, embarrassing historical details that would negate your entire thesis. To the point of rendering it a farcical display of cope with how your people completely blew your once great empire and are now forced to endure the indignity of living in America's shadow. So much so that perhaps this is just comedy as I did get a few good chuckles over it. But if you're serious, this is nothing less than a pitiful exercise in whining and blaming others for your mistakes. Embarrassing, gentlemen, poor show. So much so, that I'm embarrassed <b><i>for</i></b> you. But fear not, for after I've had my druthers in unsealing a tin of whup-ass upon you to let the punishment fit the crime all the while enjoying some innocent merriment at your expense, I shall be magnanimous afterwards because I really do like you guys. </span></span></p><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Yes America did import black Africans as slaves mostly while British colonies though. Wasn't it from about 1607 to 1776? Versus 1776 to 1865? Or did we conveniently forget that trifling little factoid? I know: Oh but the British outlawed the international slave trade, my dear boy! Yes and after how long of running it? Doesn't matter as how the Empire had its come to Jesus moment in 1833 and so all is forgiven and forgotten.

Well, that's besides the point, old boy! It doesn't count after all because it was almost all poor white people and we're talking about black African slavery here and the rotten mess you Americans made of racism. It's perfectly okay to enslave and mistreat one's own people but never those of BAME as that would be uncouth. And as the selective amnesia Brits set the rules, the Brits win again. Huzzah!

Like during the time you Brits were constantly scolding us on how mean we were to blacks and mostly closed to immigration since the 1920's. Why look at you in 1948, so inclusive! Or perhaps in the early 1960's making films in Arabic inviting Muslims to come to Britain because you were so tolerant. Unlike us Americans, of course. And when did you start importing South Asians and allowed them to live among their own in ethnic enclaves? Well the tea-eaters may have done open immigration and tolerance of non-European people of colour before the Americans but it's still all us bloody American's fault as why should you take the blame for your own mistakes.

Just to keep up appearances, stiff upper lip and maintain the delusion that the English are better than you Yanks so necessary for our sanity. [Interjection: Sorry boys, you'd have to win more than 27 World Series rings to get there.] What bloody fool would do what we Brits, much less the French or other Europeans told them to do, as at least since Dunkirk even a blind man could see what incompetents we are! And the other Europeans are worse than we and one would have to be a complete odious, burke to listen to them as you've done. For heaven's sake, we own goaled ourselves as we blew our empire to pieces so hard the damned ball went up our arses.

How daft can you people be to let us have nukes as you know we'll most likely blow ourselves up with them? And you lot were taking notes on our social criticisms.

Prior to the recent repaving and further grinding down of the monorail footings which took place after the Aquacade was demolished in 1996, those bumps were much higher. Sorry, can't find my old photos of this.</p><p>So the ground has subsided quite a bit since the Fair which is not surprising as the area was a marshland. A high water table tends to turn soil into mud which can be washed away. Have our eco-heroes of the Waterfront Alliance considered this? Have any of these parasitical NGO assholes ever actually visited the park and saw the area in question themselves let alone be able to find it without directions from google maps? Nope, it would ruin their business and probably a majority of them are out-of-towners who never even heard of the park until it became profitable for them.</p><p>Or how about dredging the Flushing River and lake to clear out sediment buildup, which raises the water level. Sediments from the tides from Long Island Sound as two other now underground streams- Ireland Mill Creek which flows down from Kissena Lake alongside Booth Memorial Avenue, emptying at the Pool of Industry and Horse Brook which flows from Kneeland Avenue in Elmhurst and empties into Flushing River near where Willow Lake is today. Again, that's a big NO. Who ever heard of such rubbish as tributary streams carrying sediments. It's all about global warming 'cause that's where the money is. </p><p>The creek and the lake haven't been dredged in decades, for what it's worth.</p><p>And did anyone do any maintenance on the tide gate below the Bridge of Flags on Meridian Road from the entrance of the Flushing River into the park? Did our esteemed experts on distant future weather ever think that high tides may lead to a high water table? Oh really! The Experts have read the auspices of their computer models which show that the area will be underwater in about 20 years. The Science! has spoken and those who lack the proper credentials of priestly office may not interject their feeble opinions to their betters. Science! is to be obeyed and followed without question. Pay no attention to the utterly useless non-profit mutants who are lining their pockets with public money behind the curtain.</p><p>No need to trifle with such nonsense as ground subsidence and silt build-up because nobody makes money in the long term that way. I mean if you send in a contractor to do the dredging and/or raise the ground level around the lake and sure they make some money, but it's only a one time deal payday and then nothing more. Global warming is the gift that keeps on giving for many years to come (at least for non-profits) if you don't do anything but tell people that global warming is worse than we thought and send them more money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Donald Cavaioli</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Cavhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14435011517423286580noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336022995635475680.post-20928882062721592602020-07-04T22:58:00.002-04:002020-07-04T23:01:48.836-04:00Happy 4th of July!

Haven't done any colorizing recently but some unavoidable lulls in an Edison-Bell model 433 cathedral radio (ca 1931) restoration had left some time for other projects. This being the Bowery around Chatham Square (I think) with the 3rd Avenue Elevated in the background being about the same time as the radio when new seemed a good fit. The original B&W I found on pinterest and traced it to this fairly good sized scan from Photographium.com.<br />
<br />
The RCA 9K3 which took up much of my time was finished and came out well-<br />

In victims who have grievances and needs, there are always those with greater grievance and have more needs which tends to shift around. In what is advertised as an egalitarian system, this may to those mundanes who use at least simple logic and reason seem contradictory but it isn't. Post-modernism allows for truth to exist in a superposition of many "truths" or anything the leftists wants to call "truths" at the same time. But unlike superposition in modern physics that collapse into one state when observed, Marx's cat can be not only dead and alive but in all intermediate states at the same time when the box is opened and the cat observed. The truth of post-modernism is that there is really no truth. The rank and file Marxist simply picks the one state of "truth" suitable for the moment that satisfies some emotional need or better highlights his virtue and the leadership picks the one that advances the Party's interests. So rather than puzzle things out, it's easier to do what any leftist does in this situation: Just to accept today's declaration of the hivemind on the matter and forget and deny the existence of what contradictory thing was declared true yesterday. Facts and reality be damned!<br />
<br />
The only exception to the rule of hierarchy on the left where there is only one truth is in the matter of their enemies, i.e. anyone who disagrees even in the slightest with the dogmas of the One True Ideological religion. There is only one Devil of literally Hitler (with many faces) and his legion of witches and demons with their fixed moral character of pure evil and their insufferable fixation on fact based truthiness. And but one commandment on the matter to the faithful- Thou shalt not suffer a witch or their truth of empirical fact to live.<br />
<br />
But all rules have exceptions to even the exceptions. Don't try to figure that out, just accept that sometimes the centrally planned and controlled mind of the leftist functions much like that of a of an OCD addled bureaucrat- all things must be categorized and sorted.<br />
<br />
So three paragraphs of digression and annoyingly long sentences later we have not yet come to the topic of death? You'd think any blog with such a morbid and macabre title, this author would jump right into the subject of death. Hell, the damned blog should be a grisly exposition of moldering lichs and graveyards! What gives, caretaker!<br />
<br />
Just warming you up, dear reader. Setting the table as it were with the rotted flesh of a decayed and intellectually dead ideology before we autopsy the subject at hand.<br />
<br />
So today we have the latest apocalypse/fear porn craze sweeping not only the nation, but the world: corona virus COVID-19. It is a most contagious and deadly plague as if the medieval black plague had a love child with the Andromeda strain creating a microbial demon spawn. Even if you can't see the hospitals overflowing with the desperately ill and dead bodies littering the streets with your lying eyes, the computer models read by the high priests of expertise assure us they are there. If not outside the really cool graphics on their xbox models then in the soon to happen terrifying second (or maybe third) wave. And since this variant of a common cold virus is so incredibly murderous and evil, death by COVID-19 has been elevated into the most worstest form of death one can experience. Worse than gunshot wounds or climate change deaths at present. Orders of magnitude more horrifying than more mundane and unimportant forms of death that don't rate on the SJW scale.<br />
<br />
So sometimes if the Devil is death, there can be worse forms of death for which the entire might of the Managerial State must be deployed against without a moment's delay. And all actions of the State are unquestionable otherwise such doubting miscreants who question diktats or ask for proof are guilty of being in league with the demon virus. They <i>want</i> grandma to die! The exception to the one Devil exception is when the previous devils of gun violence, racism and climate change failed to scare the masses enough for them to allow political leaders and bureaucrats to take plenary power.<br />
<br />
This is where the constant changing reasons for lockdowns and moving of goalposts to end it makes sense. It's a Ruling Class who although at first, not seeing its potential, came to realize that this Wuhan flu is the crisis that should be exploited to the max. It's the perfect boogeyman in that it's not only a mysterious, invisible killer but it's a personal one that can strike any individual without warning or mercy. Or at least as mainstream media propaganda makes it out to be as even the CDC stats are starting to show it to be an average cold and flu season. And it worked beautifully.<br />
<br />
Never since September 11, 2001 have Americans been so ready willing and eager to not only surrender more of their rights and freedoms, but even better: To slavishly wear masks and stay 6 feet from each other. Depersonalized, atomized as a community, treated like a child that cannot understand what is best for him and degraded in servile obedience. Even going so far as to spend their own money on masks and gloves for the honor and privilege of entering and spending their money in a store. They tolerate this disrespect from businesses because they're too scared of the invisible killer to remember such things as the customer is the lifeblood of a business and the customer is always right.<br />
<br />
This is not because the government has made such extraordinary claims about how dangerous this virus is with extraordinary proof given <i><b>but just because our betters simply said so</b></i>. Most people did not ask one single question as to why this lockdown thing with the masks and distancing stuff which was never done before in prior pandemics was really necessary. Nor did they ask that government officials prove it would be effective. Nor did the government bother to prove it anyway. As this is now the absolute worst form of death, the masses simply did as they were told like good little peasants.<br />
<br />
We will now have to live like feudal serfs, tied to our homes and only allowed out for only essential (by official expert government definition) reasons and we must wear face masks to show our unconditional fealty to our Master's commandments. Then it's as if we expect our Master's Experts will tell us that avoiding the most deadly form of death, we can live forever. That the average age of death from Wuhan flu or by some stretched definition is about 80 years old so one would assume that's the natural human lifespan but no. We cannot lose one precious otherwise immortal life or at least have grandma in hospice care live a few months more or the younger terminally ill get their full promised 6 months to a year to live. This would be just.....wrong!<br />
<br />
Proof be damned and anyone who is skeptical and dares asks for proof, questioning his better government expert with "Doctor" as his first name is a denier and a heathen miscreant. A heretic who is evil and wants to kill someone's grandma and so must be unfriended and cast into the void forthwith. Probably a racist and white supremacist too.<br />
<br />
We must never, ever question any government bureaucrat with "Doctor" as his first name as he is the anointed Infallible High Priest. Any other dissenting first name Doctor must be ignored as he is in league with the Wuhan demon virus and the great Orange Satan. Nothing must shake the faith of the progressive congregation in the official narrative of today's most worst form of death ever... until it is officially changed by the officially recognized authorities of the Great Hivemind.<br />
<br />
So our autopsy of the rancid corpse of progressive liberalism is complete and the cause of death was denial of reality, hiding behind the authority of experts worshiped as gods and an idiotic submissiveness to a narrative and agenda. An agenda whose true purpose the rank-and-file progressive liberal/Social Justice Warrior himself does not or cannot understand. Nor can the SJW notice the contradictory narratives of the Wuhan demon virus precautions and the BLM/Antifa demonstrations and riots in which all COVID-19 rules and precautions are cancelled without explanation. It seems that only Black people can die when killed by white police officers which at least for the time being is now the most worst form of death.<br />
<br />
One would think that anyone who really follows this cult would have a serious case of whiplash from following the rapid fire narrative changes and sharp about faces of "truth" but no. The faithful progs try ever harder to keep up. They're used to the multiple realities of Marx's cat and can reverse course at a moment's notice from huffpo. Yesterday's truth is quickly forgotten in light of today's new truth. Today's cause upon which the fate of the world hangs in the balance is serious until a new, even more super serious cause comes along. The worst form of death is the worst until the Masters decide a new form of death is even worse than that. The liberal prog and SJW simply nod and obey. They then engage in purity spirals among themselves to establish status and persecute the witches and heretics who are either outright skeptics or progs who aren't pure enough.<br />
<br />
In the end, this COVID-19 Wuhan flu thing is a political abuse of expertise and science prostituted for a political and economic agenda. We hire an expert to give us their opinion but as rational adults, we also seek out other experts' opinions, then do our due diligence and research to decide which expert opinion cost/benefit would be best for us. There are those who are incompetent imbeciles who have no other choice than to look upon government experts as infallible authorities and need some demagogue to lead them. Unfortunately, this sort of cretin and their Masters are all too ubiquitous in modern society and their fears given too much credence by Joe and Jane Normie.<br />
<br />
Conversely there are those like a certain blogger of my acquaintance who follows the worstest form of novel virus death because he is either a virtue signalling twat or a political rent boy hoping for his Master to upgrade him from a seat in a toy government community council to run for political office. Maybe both. Either way, his mindlessly following arbitrary rules with a born again fervor while hiding behind an appeal to authority is subservience veiled with gravity. This is the hallmark of a contemptible character. Just like all the others who slavishly follow these absurd rules.<br />

They Don't Understand It's Just Die already.<b>From </b><a href="https://brooklyneagle.com/">The Brooklyn Daily Eagle</a>:<a href="https://brooklyneagle.com/articles/2020/06/22/adapt-or-die-restaurants-find-ways-to-evolve-amid-virus/?utm_source=Brooklyn+Today&utm_campaign=df3c8423d8-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_06_22_09_25&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_1ba554d7d5-df3c8423d8-125090969"> <i><b>‘Adapt or die’ — Restaurants find ways to evolve amid virus,</b></i> June 22, 2020 Mark Kennedy Associated Press</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.custodiasepulchrum.com/2018/11/the-peasant-mindset.html">The Peasant Mindset</a> never ceases to amaze me in a horrifying sort of way. When I wrote that post, I had at least some notion that new information or observation could come along in the future that would have me revisit this theory and revise or discard it as necessary. Maybe it's better than average correct but I had no idea how accurate the theory really was. Not that it pleases me to be right, but on the contrary, I am dismayed and disgusted by it. The more the notion that on average people will behave like servile peasants has spread around the internet as many more people than myself have independently come up with the idea, I hoped more normies would have seen this and acted to prove it wrong. Joe and Jane Normie view themselves as proud Americans and nothing could be less American than being a debased slave of the State and if called out on it, they would act to refute it. I was in the end, wrong for being right.<br />
<br />
Two of the most fundamental ideals of being an American are valuing and protecting their inalienable individual rights, protected from government encroachment by the Bill of Rights and free enterprise. But under the multi-purpose tool of this alleged demon virus, COVID-19, Joes and Janes around the country can't surrender to the plenary power of the State fast enough or more completely. Even at the cost of their own livelihoods, they will in effect, willingly commit suicide to prove what loyal little peasants they are. And in this Brooklyn Daily Eagle article, behold the once proud Americans castrate themselves out of unreasoning fear and obsequiousness before the politicians and bureaucrats who are supposed to be the public's servants.<br />
<br />
The restaurants owners have given up any pretense of government by and for the people for the "new normal" of micro-managed government control down to how many patrons my dine there, that salt and pepper shakers cannot be on the tables and how many feet apart patrons must be-<i><b> or else</b></i>. Patrons are even required to wear face masks while alone in a restroom so to enforce this edict, how long will it be before cameras are mandated in bathrooms. The panopticon taken to levels undreamed of by Orwell and would have made the likes of Hitler, Stalin and Mao blush.<br />
<br />
Not that any of our Betters have bothered to prove that this virus is in any way novel or deadly, or that there is any science behind this anal-retentive hypochondria beyond hysterical claims based on wildly inaccurate computer models. The facts even from the CDC show COVID-19 isn't worse than an average cold and flu season. So why go through all this shutdown/lockdown essential/non-essential, masks and social distancing nonsense? B<i><b>ecause government apparatchiks said so, that's why and that's all the filthy peasants need to know.</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
These restaurant owners seem to forget that that as taxpayers and voters, that the politicians and bureaucrats they kowtow to<b><i> are in fact their employees</i></b>, not their masters even if politicians threaten their licenses. Does the Chamber of Commerce have no lobbying power? Do these business owners not make contributions to political campaigns such that they have some influence with elected politicians? Do they not vote in elections? Can they not band together for a class action lawsuit that would force the state of New York to prove their claims of how dangerous this COVID-19 virus is and <i><u><b>prove</b></u></i> the science behind and necessity of all these draconian regulations? Did anyone not notice how all the mask wearing, social distancing and prohibition of demonstrations and groups not to exceed 10 people have gone completely out the window in light of the George Floyd/BLM/Antifa demonstrations, riots and looting? How many businesses were further hurt by this while the city and state stood by and did nothing. In fact, how many government apparatchiks with some sort of medical degree declared these events as good and will cause no public health problems. What more proof does anyone need to see that city, state and federal government officials who have imposed this control freak's Orwellian wet dream on us were lying all along?<br />
<br />
To these restaurant and bar owners who believe they can conform to this artificial "new normal" and survive, I tell you this: You'll lose eventually because the powers that be have decreed it. Our Masters have found that when people get together and socialize, the peasants get into such mischief as questioning the official narrative, voting for Orange man bad, Boris Johnson and Brexit and develop the temerity and hubris to live above their lowly station. The peasant begins to see himself as the equal of his Master and this must be stopped. No amount of whining "not me","it wasn't me doing these things", "I'm a loyal progressive liberal" will matter. Your goodthinker progressive credentials and past acts will not save you from Witch Hunter Karen.<br />
<br />
The U.S. Constitution has long been a thorn in the side of the Managerial Ruling Class and has been <i>de-facto</i> overthrown with governors and mayors illegally ruling through fiat. We must not stand for it and must vote all politicians who went along with this out of office. No exceptions for your <a href="https://www.custodiasepulchrum.com/2018/11/the-great-guy-syndrome.html">Great Guy</a>. If I was correct in the Peasant Mindset then I may well be correct now in what I write. If nothing else, you can have pride in yourselves as competent, productive adults who contribute to their communities and local economies. Otherwise, you'd be forced to eke out a marginal existence as incompetent imbeciles wholly dependent on the opinions and decisions of government experts fetishized as infallible high priests. You built businesses and worked too hard for them to now accept living on your knees for the reason a politician or bureaucrat merely said so.<br />
<br />
There is no longer any room in the new perfect planned and controlled cashless society for such small fry as yourselves so if you survive these regulations, a new invisible killer unicorn threat will be manufactured with even more stringent rules to finally kill you all off. As the length of time for such non-essential businesses as yours and the reasons for it were changed so many times already do you not see you were being lied to? Understand that all the virtue signalling, fealty and groveling to your Betters will not save you as it shows how weak and cowardly you are. It will only make your destruction more satisfying to our political masters as they slowly crush you. Your dying squeals for mercy and of loyalty while on your knees will be sweet music to their ears. Don't believe the lies, don't meekly accept this new normal. Fight back now before it's too late.<br />

<br />
Heroes are not extraordinary people doing extraordinary things but average people who come to see there are greater things in life than themselves. And come to understand that if something isn't worth fighting for even risking their lives for, then of what value could that thing be.<br />
<br />
Have we honored them or have we made all they fought and bled for into a farce.<br />
<br />
Look around you.<br />
Governors and Mayors have taken plenary power and rule by fiat. In taking such extraordinary measures ostensibly to protect us from the ravages of COVID-19, they offered no extraordinary proof of its necessity. A once free people are no longer free to attend religious services, congregate together or demonstrate for redress of grievance. Nor can they appear in public unless they wear a face mask and maintain a distance of 6 feet between them. People are obligated to wear face masks for the privilege to enter a business and spend there money there. We have now willingly separated ourselves into such arbitrary categories as "essential" and "non-essential" jobs and businesses. There is now such a thing as essential and non-essential people by extension. Even swimming at the beach, a memorial day, beginning of summer tradition enjoying the freedoms dearly bought for us by the sacrifices of our servicemen is now forbidden.<br />
<br />
We have allowed ourselves to be turned into dependent and helpless children who are unable to decide for ourselves what is best for us. Just as we have turned our elected politicians and bureaucrats, those who are our employees, into all-powerful parents who command our absolute obedience and whose word cannot be questioned.<br />
<br />
Worse is the docile and slavish attitude of the majority of people who adhere to these diktats without question. Cowards who willingly surrendered the Bill of Rights in fear of an exaggerated menace. A lockdown said to be only for 2 weeks to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed changed to 4 weeks to "flatten the curve" then more than 2 months to "save on precious life" ignoring all the other precious lives affected or even lost due to the decisions of politicians. Not even as the time frame extended and the excuses changed, the curve flattened, did people realize they were being lied to the entire time. The despotic rules applied will never be fully rescinded and the social mores changed with depersonalizing and ultimately dehumanizing forced wearing of masks and "social distancing" will become "our new normal". Something that should be regarded gravely and rejected as it will serve only to socially isolate people into atomized individuals suspicious and fearful of each other. Protests and rallies will be no more and unnecessary as individualized, non-essential cattle have no voice or will to resist. They will only silently maintain their mandatory 6 foot distancing as they are inevitably marched into the abattoir.<br />
<br />
We have shamed ourselves and the memory of those lost in defending our country, our freedoms and our way of life. We've rendered their sacrifices pointless and even ludicrous. Not because we were conquered from without but because we cravenly destroyed ourselves from within. The men who fought the dictators in the second world war now have their children and grandchildren applauding and praising dictators in Nurse Ratchet drag here at home.<br />

<br />
We all make mistakes, going along with something because everyone else was doing it only to later realize how absurd and foolish we were. Like thinking polyester disco clothes or leisure suits looked cool. Realizing the mistake and fixing it is what we must do. Better late than never.<br />
<br />
One way to do it: Changing one's position slowly and by small degrees over a period of time is the best way to do an about face. Hopefully there are no wits or wags out there to recall one's original, shall we say, not very well thought out stance, which would highlight one's gullibility. Well, we're all guilty sometimes of the proverbial brain fart. I do also count myself as 'present' in that dubious roll call.<br />
<br />
Just in the aftermath, we're left with the sticky problem of extricating ourselves with whatever shreds of dignity we can muster. The last thing one should do is respond with sobbing and railing against their interlocutor as picking their arguments apart like some evil black raven.<br />
<br />
That's OK for the cad or bounder but completely undignified for the learned and bookish sort of gentleman. One should realize that they should have constructed a better thesis and accept the criticism with stoic equanimity.<br />
<br />
Yes, even with the seat of one's trousers torn away, we should hold our heads high as we walk away with our bare arses hanging out. Because sooner or later we 'll turn a corner where our detractors will no longer see us and distance will fade their mocking laughter. Stiff upper lip, keep calm and carry on and such.<br />
<br />
OK, so what does the previous doggerel have to do with this <a href="https://newtownpentacle.com/2020/05/12/sunniest-room/">Newtown Pentacle post</a> or even anything sensible? Nothing, I suppose.<br />
<br />
Hold on a sec! What's this: <b>"Before any of you Libertarians, Bible Thumpers, LaRouchites, supply siders, Tea Partiers, or bleach drinkers accuse me of changing my tune on the Corona crisis… I’m as frustrated as everyone else is right now,..."</b><br />
<br />
Is this the start of that slow about face or is it more "damn the iceberg, full speed ahead! Trust our experts, we're unsinkable!" I dunno. Maybe I'm one of those dullard Libertarians, Bible Thumpers, supply siders, Tea Partiers, bleach drinkers or just a <a href="https://planetmoron.typepad.com/planet_moron/">moron</a>.<br />
<br />
We continue:<b> "This isn’t a conspiracy, it’s a public health emergency. The kind which has historically scythed through the human population about once every hundred years or so."</b><br />
<br />
So this super virus is the love child of the Andromeda strain and the black death. Only we can't see the sick everywhere around us and Eric Idle pulling a cart shouting "bring out your dead" but our experts and Mitch can. If any bleach drinking, bible thumping, libertarian supply siding Tea Partier says different, then they're conspiracy theorists which means their questions may be summarily dismissed because they drink bleach for heaven's sake. Furthermore as I quote from <a href="https://planetmoron.typepad.com/planet_moron/">Planet Moron</a><a href="https://planetmoron.typepad.com/planet_moron/2020/05/are-you-going-to-believe-them-or-your-own-lying-eyes.html#comments">:</a><br />
<br />
<b><i>"If you are confused with some of the media accounts regarding the Covid-19 virus, it could simply be because you are still relying on “old science. This is a common error.”...[snip]..." Old science was grounded on the fundamental principle that conclusions must remain subject to scrutiny and therefore need to change in accordance with new data and observations whereas New Science is grounded in the fundamental principle of because I said so." </i></b><br />
<br />
As President Fauci and the models said so seconded by our own Humble Narrator therefore it must be true even if the actual data says different. Got it. And for those who cannot get it even if they don't get it, go drink some more bleach.<br />
<br />
<b><i>"Those of you unfamiliar with New Science might mistakenly believe it sounds an awful lot like religion. Nothing could be further from the truth....[snip]...In stark contrast, people who adhere to religion are Republicans [Libertarians, Bible Thumpers, LaRouchites, supply siders, Tea Partiers, or bleach drinkers-my addition] And that’s why smart people know they should stick to science. Science helps everything make sense. There's no reason to be confused anymore. For example, still trying to understand why engaging in anonymous sex hookups on Tinder is okay but shaking hands isn’t? Because I said so."</i></b><br />
<br />
There you go. <i>Quod erat demonstratum</i>. The CoronAmerica daemon virus is the worstest we've evah faced and all praise to his Celestial Majesty Andy Cuomo of Nipplerings (and seconded by our Humble Narrator with spaniel like fidelity) for shutting everything down lest we all die because He and the High Priests of Expertise <b><i>said so</i></b>. Stay at home, w<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrc8uQ2L59k">ear your mask properly</a> or face the wrath of the NYPD, stay 6 feet apart and line up outside half empty stores like good Soviet citizens even if <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/public-global-health/487915-de-blasio-defends-going-to-the-gym-i-need-exercise-to">our betters do not</a>.<br />
<br />
So it isn't simply because I said so but do as I say and not as I do. That's okay with you, isn't it Mitch? Sure! Because it's a public health emergency even if the political and upper bureaucratic establishment don't follow the rules they impose on us. Members of Congress are exempted from the covid vaccine mandate mere peasants can lose their jobs or be denied medical treatment if they refuse. Pay no attention to the apparatchik behind the curtain or the bitter almond aftertaste of the Kool-Aid you're drinking. I suppose I'm the fool to disagree in light of the apocalyptic ravages of the daemon virus only the wiser and more enlightened can see. <i>Fools had ne'er less grace in a year...</i><br />
<br />
I guess I'm a truculent moron who adheres to hopelessly outdated notions of science and proof. As well, I have no credentials to gainsay my betters who are entitled to make <i>ex cathedra</i> pronouncements. But even a bleach drinking moron should conduct himself with proper dignity especially when bookish and learned gentlemen play the fool. I shall now walk away, trounced and bare arsed, with stoic equanimity.<br />
<br />

P.S.<br />
<br />
To be fair and play devil's advocate, I realize this may (or may not) be just some of Mitch's shtick In which case I would owe him an apology with the excuse that sometimes it's hard to tell when he's being serious or when he's putting you on as he has a perfect sense of timing and is very subtle when laying it on. I'd owe you several rounds of drinks at Doyle's, payable on demand, if it ever opens again. But he does make one of the best conversationalists or sparring partners and sometimes it's irresistible to make jokes on. This post is tongue in cheek so the reader shouldn't take my comments here too seriously.

Here's a PCC car in its original livery of Cordova brown running along the private right of way on Rodman Street (College Point Blvd today). The World's Fair special started at Brooklyn Borough Hall along the Flushing Ave. line then connected to the Grand Ave. line to terminal on Rodman Street next to the fair grounds. This is one of two brand new PCC cars that operated into Queens County as who would waste brand new, state-of-the-art trolleys on Queens when the PCC fleet can be operated in Brooklyn. To my knowledge, there is no existent original color photo of a PCC car in this livery so I just had to colorize this one.<br />
<br />
Another point of note is the 10 cent fare listed on the white card on the PCC's front instead of the 5 cents B&QT was permitted to charge. The City did step in and force B&QT to stop this sacrilege against the 5 cent fare but then charged 10 cents as the fare for their IND World's Fair subway line. When you own the law, you don't have to follow it yourself.<br />
<br />
The original B&W photo is from, as usual, <a href="https://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/PCC_Streetcars_in_Brooklyn">NYC Subway.org</a> carefully hidden behind 'World' sub-menu.<br />

But I thought I had written specifically about this Vision Zero thing here at the sepulchrum but apparently not. I must have it confused with posted comments on Queenscrap and the <a href="https://www.custodiasepulchrum.com/2019/02/comments-on-newtown-pentacle-post.html">Newtown Pentacle</a>. What can I say, I'm getting old.<br />
<br />
However aside from a tangental subject <a href="https://www.custodiasepulchrum.com/2019/03/more-emotionalist-propaganda-waving.html">on bicycle lanes</a> where I wrote that being an entitled asshole with a lack of civility and exercise of common sense which cuts across all demographics is the problem, not lack of more laws or bike lanes and I might add more cameras. To actually believe it is possible to reduce all traffic accidents with fatalities to zero, let alone any and all traffic accident for that matter, is completely impossible unless someone engineers a new, flawless human who never makes mistakes.<br />
<br />
So until that happens, this vision zero thing is an idea born of either industrial grade imbeciles or grifters of the political or activist stripe with an altogether different ulterior motive. Either way, it will not work for its stated purpose because it does not properly address the human element but maybe it was never supposed to work in the first place.<br />
<br />
Here is an article from <a href="https://fee.org/">FEE</a> detailing the progress of <a href="https://fee.org/articles/las-traffic-safety-policies-were-supposed-to-reduce-deaths-instead-more-people-are-dying/">Vision Zero in that progresive sewer of Los Angeles</a>. To any Angeleno who might take offense, NYC is just as bad of an leftist open sewer and festering progressive liberal boil on the ass of America so nobody's getting an attitude here. As to Vision Zero, it's just as I've said.<br />

<br />
Here is Meeker Avenue on the Brooklyn side of the old Penny Bridge barely visible on the far right. This is probably around 1936 at the latest as with the completion of the Koscuiuszko Bridge, it was demolished. The photographer however, was far more concerned with this Stephenson model 1907 car at the terminal stop of the Meeker Ave line of the B&QT when it was a privately owned railroad company. The end of the track and catenary wires clearly visible on the right. I like the little green convenience store, if that's what it is, with the coca-cola sign on front. Getting the colors of the Stephenson right was tough because these cars were originally convertible cars- double ended open motorman control and sides can be removed in the summer to permanently a fully closed car, front and rear doors with parts of slightly differing shades of red added.<br />
<br />
The original black and white photo was found in the hidden back 'World' menus of <a href="https://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/Other_Brooklyn_Trolley_Cars">NYC Subway.org</a> where the trolley photos are carefully concealed (those ERA types, I tell ya!) and by myself colorized in defiance.<br />

It predicts that the extreme far right and the extreme far left would hold similar positions but for diametrically opposite reasons. They would be mirror twins.<br />
<br />
For those who only look at the subject superficially, it would be understandable how they make the error of bending the spectrum to make the two ends meet. If A = C and B = C then A must equal B and they would still be wrong if the comparison were between libertarian anarchism of the right endpoint with communist anarchism of the left endpoint. One needs to look just beneath the surface to understand the differences in motivation and ideals involved. But as I have said, their endpoints are only similar as anarchism itself means different things to the right and the left.<br />
<br />
For the left, anarchism is the end product of Marxist dialectic materialism, the synthesis after the communist anarchist antithesis destroys the current "capitalist" thesis. In Marxism, this synthesis is undefined as to what exactly it will be other than the state (the dictatorship of the proletariat interim phase) withering away under communism. As it is in the future, it is as unknowable today as capitalism and the industrial revolution would have been during the earlier patriarchy and feudal phases. This new synthesis is not only inevitable but the final stage of human history.<br />
<br />
For the far right anarchists, there would simply be a stateless society as Man, in their view, is a naturally rational economic actor, a fundamental property of human nature as they see it, where all people would keep and dispose of the products of their labor as they see fit. No courts, no military, no police, no national borders, no basic services as each individual will see to these matters themselves or at worst, a minimal form of government for at most basic services like water, sanitation and sewage. It would be a society, if you could call it that, where each person is a country unto himself and his national boundaries don't extend beyond the tip of his own nose. Courts would only exist to protect individual property rights. Overall in the libertarian society, everybody does as he pleases and the whole of the law shall be do as thou wilt as long as it does not violate the non-aggression principle- another fundamental property of human nature in libertarianism.<br />
<br />
So both believe in a stateless or nearly stateless society but the critical difference is the communist will have the fruits of individual labor equally distributed throughout the community whereas the in the libertarian anarchist society it's every man for himself, getting by or not based only on one's individual talent, ability and drive.<br />
<br />
One interesting side note is in the dissident right there is an interesting similarity to Marxist material dialectics where some believe in either withdrawing from participation in the political process and allowing the political and economic system to collapse on its own or voting for the most extreme leftist to speed up the collapse. It is as if they are the antithesis in a sort of passive-aggressive conflict with the present thesis and as with the communists, the future synthesis cannot be described in either how it will come to be or what exactly it will look like. It will just happen and it will work out in favor of the dissident righters in a sort of libertarianish (although DR'ers seem to hate libertarians as apostates are wont to do) society and this is inevitable because they have the best ideas. Again the right mirrors the left with opposite expectations and opposite outcomes. Even with tactics employed in the antithesis-thesis conflict itself, the right is passive where the left is active.<br />
<br />
However, it is disturbing how this sect of the right seems quite comfortable with Marxists concepts like material dialectics and their acceptance of blurring the definitions of words and phrases such as their refusing to define the 'right' as anything more than the 'not-left'. As well as their distrust of corporations and big banks and seeing them as a greater evil than big managerial government. But as I've previously noted, the dissident right appears to consist of libertarian and objectivist apostates and heretics with some disgruntled blue-collar, big pro-union, old-school New Dealer Democrats thrown in. So it should not be too surprising to find them using New Deal rhetoric and ideas. Just as it should not be surprising that many DR'ers being from the blue-collar and suburban middle-class strivers set would think that having a lot of money translates into power- If I were a rich man, with my gold alone I'd rule over the men with the guns. Completely absurd. No understanding whatsoever of <a href="https://www.custodiasepulchrum.com/2018/11/the-differences-between-models-of-power.html">the difference between influence and power</a>.<br />
<br />
When you use the right model, understanding the present and predicting the future becomes much easier.<br />

<br />
Our glorious People's Rulers have devised a magnificent new plan to rebuild the aging Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in such a way as to reduce traffic by removing a lane of traffic. Now to the uninspired simpleton, not intellectually and politically advanced enough to comprehend this plan would make the atrociously insipid argument that removing a lane of traffic would increase and greatly slow traffic on the remaining two lanes. Absolutely not! For as our cosmically intelligent liberal betters have long since known that as building an extra lane on highways causes more cars to spontaneously appear through mechanical abiogenesis, then the contrary must be true that eliminating a lane from the highway will cause cars and trucks to be spontaneously annihilated.<br />
<br />
A BQE Panel formed by Our Most Wise and Benevolent Ruler, Mayor de Blasio under the astute leadership of Carlo Scissura has definitively stated that this shall be a monumental improvement in traffic flow as it will allow broken down vehicles or ones involved in a traffic accident a shoulder upon which to await response of the appropriate officials. The return of both way tolls with high speed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-ZPass">E-ZPass</a> on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verrazzano-Narrows_Bridge">Verrazzano Bridge</a> instead of one double toll with high speed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-ZPass">E-ZPass</a> would reduce traffic by some technical means that are so advanced that only Mr. Scissura and his high priests in the construction industry could fathom it. Thus, is the definitive <i>ex-cathedra</i> pronouncement on the matter. All other ideas submitted by the lower orders of the community were summarily disposed of in the circular file amidst some Jovian mirth.<br />
<br />
Our masters should be given praise for being gracious enough to at least pretend that they cared what the filthy peasant masses thought and allowed the simpering fools to place their hopelessly simplistic ideas at the feet of their betters. The Official Plan is absolutely the best and shall work flawlessly because our betters have decreed it.<br />
<br />
It should not cause any suspicion of a vested interest whatsoever that Mr. Scissura is the president and CEO of the New York Building Congress, an advocacy and lobbying group for the construction industry. That this fellow would be taking a 1.5 mile repair project and ridiculously expanding it to a unnecessary gargantuan project only so he and his buddies in the industry can reap an obscene fortune through crony-capitalism. There should be no censorious conspiracy theories that this is just a crony capitalist and politically powerful construction union feeding frenzy of public monies. The aging 1.5 mile section of the BQE is really in need of repair and it is absolutely necessary to re-construct the entire BQE to make it a 2 lane highway because.... you know.... reasons and stuff, save the planet from global weather change, prevent the return of Noah's flood (as Gaia is wroth at us), the sustainable eco-friendly thingie and more. Why, the whole blasted thing absolutely must be "re-thought", "re-imagined", and "re-worked" not to make consultant fees and allow for politically connected groups to perform endless publicly financed environmental impact, feasibility and planning studies. Not to allow more activist and lobbyist snouts in the public trough to feed for the decades it would take to complete this behemoth masterpiece, if it is ever really and finally completed, that is. But this is <i style="font-weight: bold;">because they can and because our betters said it is necessary </i>and this is all we ignorant, unwashed peasants need to know. To say anything else would be as rude and uncouth as <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/01/31/emails-suggest-false-testimony-by-de-blasio-official-over-whistleblowers-firing/">casting aspersions of corruption</a> upon this paragon of wisdom and virtue, our dear leader, Mayor de Blasio and our world-famous super-competent, honest and corruption-free city government.(please clap)<br />
<br />
Nothing can contradict the official narrative of higher leftist moral truths and progressive canon as any truths based on objective reality are mere conspiracy theories promulgated by naughty rightwing badthinkers even if backed up by facts. Facts and objective reality, sir, are the devil's playthings.<br />

<br />
<br />
So I've finally got around to finishing this post which started several months ago and grew to such lengths as I began exploring this idea that I decided to break it into 3 separate walls of text and still feel that there's much I didn't cover properly. And after much editing and re-editing, I still don't think the writing flows smoothly enough and is still missing points I should have made. But as they say- either get down to business or get off the pot so finally I got down to business.<br />
<br />
Simply put, the right needs to reach out to and if not attract and convert more moderate middle Americans then to at least have them more sympathetic to the philosophy and goals of the right. For the most part, this means soft-peddling the previously mentioned segments of the right I critiqued rather than completely reading them out of the movement except of course, in extreme cases. Besides the obvious cranks and weirdos, there should be no place for the alt-leftists of national socialism and those who advocate for unprovoked violence against non-whites and starting race wars. The other rightists might still have contributions to make outside of their pet ideas or peeves even if I disagree with some of their positions. The right needs all the allies they can get. As one last criticism of the alt and dissident right, by reading out the entirety of the conservative movement, are they not as guilty as when they criticize the Buckley conservatives for reading out the John Birchers and neo-confederates? Although Buckley and his NRO followers in the end failed as their critics charge and have in fact shifted into neo-liberalism, imperialism and social and political positions taken by 1950's and 60's Democrat liberals, these people, mostly professional pundits, are in fact, a minority of those who identify as mainstream conservatives. And again I ask the dissident and alt-right (if any still exist unironically) where are <b><i>your</i></b> achievements and successes? Did the Z man or Vox Day manage to eject the men in sundresses from out of the women's restroom yet? Still waiting, guys.<br />
<br />
<b>Proposed solution:</b><br />
As conservatism is more familiar to Joe and Jane Normie and if reformed as the groypers attempted, can be valuable as a bridge between the more nationalist dissident right and middle America. That the mainstream rank-and-file conservative might still hold to a civic national/propositional nation of immigrants position, support of President Trump's make America great again more nationalistic position and support for the border wall show an openness to reconsider civic nationalism. They might therefore be more amenable to reason and this line should be pursued which will lead to a realization that its underlying "blank slate" model of humanity is likewise false. It should be stressed that noticing differences between peoples and cultures is not racism or does not necessarily mean one is better or superior to the other but simply acknowledging reality with no hate involved. So rather than recriminations of "boomercons" and further alienating conservatives who might otherwise move more towards nationalism, the dissident right should forego puerile name calling and vapid provincialism and consider forming alliances with them. Nor would it hurt if the conservatives were allowed to retain their own banner rather than forcing them to drop it in favor of identifying only as dissident right or alt-right (of the non-Spencerian flavors). The tact of "you're with us only under our banner (we're <b>number one</b>, huzzah!) and in complete lockstep with us or you are against us" serves only the left's so far successful drive to destroy the disarrayed and atomized right in detail.<br />
<br />
Finally, the religion thing must be considered. Although it would set the teeth of right-leaning atheists on edge, there cannot be a strong concept of morality without it. Man will only obey the morality revealed by a power higher than himself as an absolute and eternal truth. This morality adhered to by the people <i>en masse</i> is necessary to the function of a high trust culture under a constitutional republic and a common religion is part of what holds a culture and community together. A strong commonly held moral order along with civic engagement by the average citizen is what keeps government honest by holding the bad guys accountable when found. So let the atheists get over their daddy issues and at least accept and support cultural Christianity even if they do not wish to participate in a religion.<br />
<br />
I don't expect these ideas to gain any traction among libertarians, their apostates and heretics in the dissident right and alt-right because of their individualism preferences so a centralized ideology or philosophy around which all can coalesce simply isn't in their natures. Nor the mainstream conservatives who likewise share this individualist bent but are still waiting for permission to reject the failures of civic nationalism and the blank slate theory without fear of being called racist. All in all, the American right has accepted too many of the left's moral premises with elements of the far right viewing themselves as a passive-aggressive antithesis in material dialectics waiting in Galt's Abbey for the crash and the as yet unknowable new synthesis to spontaneously emerge. However, in the meantime, we'll continue to fight more among ourselves rather than the left because, hey, we're the American right. It's what we do.<br />
<br />

But fear not, gentle readers, for the Psychic Inquisitors are on the case.<br />
<br />
From the 'I don't know how I missed this gem of assholery' files and recorded for all prosperity to be gawped at by the masses by our glorious people's heroes of journalistic labor of <a href="https://brooklyneagle.com/"><b>The Brooklyn Daily Eagle</b></a>:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://brooklyneagle.com/articles/2020/01/06/opponents-of-white-nationalist-recruitment-turn-out-for-bay-ridge-rally/#comments"><b><i>Bay Ridge unites against white nationalist recruitment</i></b></a> written by staff, January 6, 2020<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Indeed, a highly diverse group of white people transplanted to Brooklyn from around the United States gathered to gasp in horror before falling into an exaggerated swoon and make angry NPC noises at the display of a banner hung by what they describe as "nazis" with allusions to World War II. It were as if this group, identified as <b><a href="https://patriotfront.us/banners-across-the-nation/">Patriot Front</a>,</b> were capable of time travel, resurrecting a German alt-left socialist party that has been defunct for nearly 75 years and maybe even clone Hitler too! All by the devilish witchcraft of hanging banners. Feel the power of hate, man! Like with the Dark Side of the Force, anything is possible.<br />
<br />
As an aside, the rally was organized by Fight Back Bay Ridge with help from the Bay Ridge for Social Justice and, drumroll please....<a href="https://youtu.be/_NdE9CjkvTY">The Democratic Socialists of America</a>, The Arab Association of NY, and The Arab Women's Voice . A strange combination of the first two being white Midwestern regional and ethnic chameleons who usually support illegal immigrant causes because of their phobia of being "othered" and pathological need to be accepted by foreigners. This possibly due to traumatic school experiences of being social rejects and their inability to understand that nobody liked them because they're detestable people. Then the DSA, a veritable circus of degenerate assclowns whose collective psychological abnormalities would fill volumes of the DSM. But the last two? The Arab American Association of NY which had or has Linda Sarsour as a member, which was founded by her father's cousin, Basemah Atweh and seems comfortable with Linda's more colorful comments towards whites, Jews and anyone who asks about Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood or if <a href="https://www.heyridge.com/2015/10/you-want-to-defund-the-arab-american-assocation-really/">any politician tries to take away its tax dollar funding</a>. And then <a href="http://the%20arab%20american%20association%20of%20ny/">The Arab Women's Voice</a>, a political consultant firm. Definitely some big money and political influence backing this little hipster honkfest as <a href="https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/arab-american-association-of-new-york/">AANY</a> not only receives public money from NY but also has the <a href="https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/north-star-fund/">North Star fund</a> which gets funding from old daddy moneybags, Soros.<br />
<br />
Strange bedfellows if one were to consider that Muslims tend to view most progressive liberal positions with a jaundiced eye such as gay rights and women's rights. So to find white progressive liberals allied with Muslim groups one must wonder if the progs are simply sanctimonious hypocrites who only seek to destroy their own country and fellow citizens, weapons-grade stupid or some combination of both. End aside.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So in this article we come to find the offending banner had written upon it "Support American workers". The unspired, un-woke dullard might look at this and say "so what?" why should we be against American workers? Isn't the left all about the workers, even the American ones? On the surface, this and the other banners seem like innocuous patriotic platitudes. Just as the Patriot Front website doesn't seem to mention anything about race at all unless I missed the time when 'American' was designated as a race and which I am informed by leftists that race does not exist. A contradiction which only progressive liberals with their highly advanced emotional intelligence can puzzle out. There's not even a mention of the infamous "Jewish Question" or JQ to the cognoscenti. Proof that PF is a racist front?! They don't need no stinking proof!<br />
<br />
On the question of Patriot Front being a coven of hateful white supremacists haters there can be no doubt as the Psychic Inquisitors of the ADL and the SPLC were not fooled by the lack of Ku Klux Klan regalia or overt panegyrics to Hitler and Nazism. No sir! Both the ADL and the SPLC had already placed this heinous group of thought criminals in double secret probation.<br />
<br />
The Witch Sniffers immediately detected the effluence of hellish sulfur wafting from PF's website, expert cryptographers using special secret decoder rings broke the codes used to disguise their evil plot to do....uh...bad stuff... and the psychic detectives read every member's mind and found them all to be possessed by the daemon Racism. Furthermore, any lack of racism or denial of racism is proof positive of racism. Elementary. Case closed, QED.<br />
<br />
In the end, this demonstration was a complete success as a group of white progressive left people honked and quacked in consternation like a flock of angry geese and ducks, tore down the offending banner and thus prevented white non-Jewish proles from seeing it and magically triggering them to join White Supremacist Satan's unholy legions. Civilization was saved. Forward, comrades, forward!<br />
