The 1960’s have dashed their brains out on the Age of Info. I wrote the following for another thread but it applies here:


The monster’s warts are tearing out of its angelic pacifist robes. We’re gonna see just how “for all the marbles” this game is being played. They are out of time. The Internet is a bucket of water in the Wicked Witch’s face. The melting has just begun in earnest. With Trump keeping NATO off the nuclear/EMP button, they are dead meat. They’ll go for riots and destabilizsation of the US, but all that nasty tracking tech that the military and police have is going to fry their bacon. Plus we will be aided by many more whilstleblower apostates as soon as Trump pardons Assange and Snowden. Meanwhile the hacker sappers will rip the guts out of the banking mafias and criminal CIA black ops. All the predicted tools of oppression can and will be used as tools of liberation. We are fighting against a hierarchical feudal scarcity psychological paradigm that has no defense against open source surplus data, none, no defense against lateral data flux, none. It’s gonna be Armageddon, all right, but Armageddon on our terms. Keep that cell phone video camera handy at all times. Learn to make it go while it’s in your pocket.

The world view of Western societys changed radically in the aftermath of WWI. They changed again in the wake of Vietnam and the onset of sixties hippie social change. Those two shifts were spaced about 50 years apart. About 50 years have passed since then, so we may be on the cusp of another change. Only time will tell.

Radical leftism has been afoot since at least the French Revolution. So it will not go away entirely. What changes is the degree to which it's basic tenets- egalitarianism and political correctness- are embraced by the public at large. If Trump really does turn out to be the Destroyer, we may indeed see the beginning of a new age.

The Winds of Change are blowing.

Will liberals listen? Don't bet on it.

If anyone thinks we are “witnessing the end of the Liberal era”, just look at government spending over the past 30 years. It keeps going up no matter who is in charge.

Yeah, anyone that thinks the liberal machine is going to go down quietly is deluding themselves. We might feel good right now but this is going to be an epic and historical battle.

increasingly dangerous world, with the rise of ISIS, a resurgent imperial Russia, and the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran

Should have mentioned that Iran was helped by Obama.

Are you all “ready for then urn?”

“Basically this man is probably going to destroy the earth and civilization as we know it. It’s kind of terrifying.”

“These protests are so moving, but ultimately what are they going to accomplish? I’m so glad these kids on the campuses everywhere are going ape s—, but at the end of the day the guy’s still going to be president. Maybe you need a civil war or something.”

“I don’t want to live in a country where people voted for Trump. I want to live in some other f—ing country. But I don’t want to run away. So we’re just going to have to bust this thing up.”

“There’s a lot of old people who need to realize they’ve had a nice life, and it’s time for them to move on. Because they’re the ones who go out and vote for these assholes. If you look at the young people, between 18 and 25, if it was up to them Hillary would have been president. No offense to the seniors out there. My mom’s a senior citizen. But if you’re voting for Trump, it’s time for the urn.“

This fight is just getting started. Don’t let your guard down for a second.

All the elites have managed to do is get a lot of people killed.

Consider all of the death and human misery caused by socialist elites pretending things to be true that aren't true:

- Pretending that black people aren't people=>slavery;

- Pretending that Jewish people aren't people=>holocaust;

- Pretending that preborn people aren't people=>legalized abortion;

- Pretending that homosexuality is normal=>problems are just beginning.

Not to mention the deaths and misery in Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba...

I don’t think so, liberals NEVER learn from any experience.

With the selection of Keith Ellison, mooselimb follower of calypso louie, to be the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee, the dumbocrap party has officially declared We're doubling down!

There. Fixed.

The Brexit win demonstrated that sovereignty matters and that attempts to suppress it will fail in the long term.

Yes, it does, and it is a source of some amazement that ruling elites haven't learned from experience that it can be dismissed in contempt as "nationalism" but it can't be stamped out. Practically every empire in history has tried to, or something like it. The Assyrians couldn't make the Egyptians less Egyptian, the Persians learned it about the Greeks in Ionia in 499 BC (and twice more in Greece herself in the ensuing 20 years), the Romans and the Arabs and the Ottomans all learned it. The Mongols found that even extermination didn't work. The Soviets, the same.

And yet, for some reason I attribute to arrogance, the current internationalist elite seem to think that they can force the issue by eliminating borders, subsuming national governments, and forcing demographic change, as if these were new ideas. They are very lucky that the issue is being addressed at the ballot box, because it almost never is, and what ends up happening is a revolution all right, but not the one they want.

The current proprietors of the EU will not, I think, either weld that continent into a single nation state nor will they tear that continent apart much further than it began. They're likely to make an awful mess in the meantime, though.

Oh, yes, and those Americans - here is a nation-state with no particular debt to ethnic identity that shouldn't exist, at least not if certain assumptions about how nation-states form are valid. And yet here we are. You'd think that certain fervent internationalists would be checking those premises pretty closely, wouldn't you?

Don’t buy it. Liberals are just slithering back under their rocks to regroup.

Yep. They always come back. Do not be fooled.

The word “liberal” only fits because they liberally give our money to others and liberally abandon the bedrocks of 10,000 years of civilization.
