Lots of calls to action lately. Not much in the way of execution. Why do we wait until elections to stand up politicians for office to represent us when we’re seeing that representation is a hollowed out tree stump?
Are they shooting a new Addams Family movie?
Before covid, I think most of us assumed the elites were confined to a small ultra-rich cabal, the federal bureaucracy and academia. Formidable to be sure, but beatable. I think the biggest post-covid shock is the realization that it extends to the leadership of corporate America. Their eagerness to accept and enforce Biden’s vaccine mandates without question is a huge problem for us. We are going to need to “flip” a few big players to our side if we are going to have any hope of ousting the elitists.
Has anyone been able to find any info on how Mr. Codevilla died?
I’ve seen drunk driver hit him while he was walking...
Another article said tragic accident...
Car accident, but no details...
What the heck?!
The new Addams Family movie, if it’s like that photo, could be called, “Young Lurch and his Boyfriend”.
The rejection of the government and its institutions is something that most of us have not experienced before. It's "new." Not in history, but to us.
We used to look to the government and other trusted institutions (medicine, anyone?) for protection. Now the government, education, many institutions have turned against what is truthful, right and good.
I haven't seen calls to action - a few suggestions about what might work for the public to reclaim its rightful power, what might work to put the brakes on globalism. Some obvious suggestions to deal with government deliberate failures such as opening the border.
The politicians, even STRONG ones, have not figured out how to stop the bureaucratic class that actually rules. The elected class is puppet actors, chosen for popularity, pushed by the media arm or the ruling class, and not for ability. No radical solution has been advanced. Last person to try that was Barry Goldwater.
May sound odd, but I'm of a mind that "more failure" will be a good thing in the long run. Our government and our institutions are incompetent in some ways, and malfeasant/deliberate in others. They do not mean to do us well in a human sense - they mean to do us well as chattel.
As long as things are comfortable, people will settle for less than the radical changes it will take to "reset," toward a country more in line with what the Declaration of Independence stands for.
The Addams Family?
I think you missed the purpose and content of the piece. Its value is to understand the nature, opportunities, and hazards of the landscape we are about to traverse and campaign on.
That landscape is normal Americans' perception of the people in the class of the Bureaucratic Blob. Normal Americans are now understanding the malign selfishness and emptiness of the Blob--which are its key weaknesses. The message is about the opportunity created by the Americans' growing awareness of the Blob Class.
Sun Tzu spoke continually about "knowing the terrain" being one of the two crucial elements to victory. The other is "knowing the strategy of your adversary." Aided by the social observations he mentions from Angelo Codevilla, we have the basis of a political, civil, rhetorical, and (God forbid) physical campaign to take our country back. It will take place within elections, but mostly outside of them in civil demonstrations like the parents' revolt against the empty-headed Communists who run their local public schools.
One of the keys to redeeming our culture is for a President and Congress to abolish the US Department of Education--education not being an area of Federal authority under the USC.
When kids had to attend classes online and parents saw what their kids were being taught, the Blob's mask dropped. I don't think the Blob even understood how far off from the American people their teachings and the their culture had become. One result is that private schools are bursting at the seams, and more are being founded daily. Any school with "classical" in its description is seeing enrollment double or more annually.

So long as there are open primaries, this is the only reason to belong to a political party. imo
If you were paying attention pre-Covid you would have noticed the anti-white racism of the corporate elites has been in place for decades.
They have always wanted a world for a very small group of elites that stomped on _everyone_ else.
They have always hated a strong middle class that shared their power.
Question professor. Which one of them/these/those/unbinaries is getting testosterone treatment? Asking for a friend.
We shall see.
This is the first I’ve heard that Angelo Codevilla is gone. That is awful news!
NYT wrote “…died on Sept. 20 in Tracy, Calif. He was 78.
His son David said the cause was a car accident, which occurred while Dr. Codevilla was returning to his vineyard near Sacramento after a medical appointment on the campus of Stanford University.?”
