    WHAT IS THAT SHIFT IN THE FORCE SO TO SPEAK?

    Ok. I can feel ‘a disturbance in the force’ so to speak. What shift is it that I feel going on in the public? Exhaustion with the virus event? What’s going on?

    -RESPONSES-

    —“Threefold exhaustion most people couldn’t keep up with one facet. The medical face of the virus itself, the economic face of job security, and the conspiratorial face of the sinister mysteries”—Micah Pezdirtz

    BThat’s it.

    Let me see if I can elaborate:

    1 – The people are addicted to the gated institutional narratives like cows being fed daily lots of hay and corn. They can’t step on the paddle and get their dose of the illusion of running with the herd.

    2 – With multiple competing narratives, and exhaustion from all of them, they have lost incentive to do anything other than look elsewhere.

    3 – With time at home and limited hyper-consumption they have time for direct experience and self reflection, and as a consequence they are ‘waking up’ to being in the MOUSE UTOPIA.

    Because that’s what’s been done to them.

    Yes.

    1. Normies experiencing loss of trust in authority/”safe” leaders/narratives. “How did it all go so horribly wrong?” Surveys show the left is more afraid of both virus & unemployment. The “blame Trump” narrative still brings the left some comfort (like a kid’s favorite blanket), but fact is the lefty cities are getting hardest hit & they can’t exactly feel their lefty leaders are doing great.

    2. Raw fear/negative emotion opens the door for people to learn/change their minds in a way they will never do outside such a situation. Case in point: 80% of Americans now view immigration as a threat. (That was not the case, not even close, a few months ago.)

    3. The virtue-signal economy collapsed overnight. The entire signaling value of “I love nonwhites, foreigners & immigrants” collapsed completely. China is a crappy place, interactions with & reliance on 3rd world low-trust shitholes have terrible consequences. Even MSM is writing articles on forcing China to pay reparations. The virtue-signalers now have no other way to signal other than to wear masks and report their neighbors for going outside. Which is way more annoying and obviously tyrannical than saying you love immigrants. The virtue-signalers are lost.

    Do not underestimate the importance of this point. The human accounting system is *status* and cheap virtue-signaling is the easiest way to raise one’s self-sense of status, and one’s status in the eyes of other shallow ignoramuses, who far outnumber truth-speakers (cuz of ’65 immigration act & 19th amendment). These people have had their entire *status* economy collapse. Think of how we feel – “We’ve been so right all along and everyone is having to kinda admit it, and all sorts of things we wanted for decades are happening!” – but in reverse…”Everything I’ve ever said/signaled I believe & support is falling apart”. And imagine being a low-agency normie or lefty, not accustomed to self-reflection or truth-seeking, possibly never having considered changing your mind on anything important, experiencing this. They feel *lost*. No ability to just follow the herd headlong, thoughtlessly, anymore. Like one of us right wing family men losing our wife & kids. No compass. Now *add* the real economy collapsing.

    4. Because lefty political leaders & grassroots just do “oppose Trump” like programmed robots, this leaves the door wide open for Trump to completely OWN the optimism/hope/”let’s re-open the economy” angle. My guess is he’s seeing more & more data come out that tons of people have it & never have symptoms which means the death rate is way lower than originally thought (just as was caught on White House hot muc today), and he’s making a calculated bet that re-opening the economy will not cause a disasterous level of virus cases/deaths. The left’s leaders are stuck being the negative bad news bearers that everyone hopes are wrong. The lefties now are in a position where they hope he’s right, and may have to admit he’s right about re-opening the economy, and already kinda have to admit he’s been right about trade and immigration. Very tough on their psyches. My wife also points out that with the daily press conferences many normies/lefties are seeing him directly, repeatedly, rather than thru the filter of lefty/normie news sources, and for some this is changing their view of him.

    5. As Micah & Curt pointed out, far less distraction. No sportsball. Celebrities seen as out of touch, provoking anger & jealousy quarantined in their expansive mansions with pool etc while millions are stuck in apartments, homes, crowded with kids, etc.

    6. People spending way more time with spouse, kids, homeschooling, etc. Along with the whole situation highlighting “what’s really important”.

    All this is results in MASSIVE COGNITIVE DISSONANCE.

    And feeling LOST. A result that then follows for many, is a significant amount of mind-changing and attitude/priority-shifting for NPCs/normies most of whom have *never* gone through it before. (Most of us on the Smart Right have gone thru it multiple times in our lives, of our own volition, as we learn.)

    I mean, the data shows it. Compare attitudes on immigration before and after. Huge shift.

    I’m not saying the lefties are all gonna start voting right wing now. But they are reeling. The normies are shifting more right/nationalist out of sheer brick wall of reality slamming the world. Institutional trust is lower than ever (in modern America). Weimar was emerging anyway, now virus (regardless of its actual seriousness as a disease, the govt reaction was very severe, making it a very serious situation). Our leadership’s handling once again ludicrously bad & out of touch & corrupt – “trillions for bankers, $1200 for you!” along with congress shoving pork into it etc. Maddening to normies who normally don’t care much or pay attention.

    Opportunity.

    Been slammed at work having to work a ton of extra hrs, but hopefully I can get a video out on it soon.

  • A COMPETITION FOR CONTROL AND CONSUMPTION OF THE COMMONS – SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION b

    A COMPETITION FOR CONTROL AND CONSUMPTION OF THE COMMONS – SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION

    by Bill Joslin

    —“…the minute you give up on your other classes, you give up on the commons.”– CurtD

    As soon as social variation gives way to social diversity – regardless of where those dividing line are carved – social stratification becomes competition over the commons. Not so much that we given up on the commons, but rather the point at which commons are no longer viewed as “shared common property”, – but rather viewed as shared private property. Politics becomes a competition for control and consumption of the commons.

    I think there’s a subtler understanding to property en toto that gets overlooked.

    We intuit that we defend property by the investment (born cost, contribution) into a property that we’ll bear additional costs to maintain control/access.

    There’s a flip side to this condition. We invest also because we rely upon that property. i.e. lower middle classes rely upon commons for survival – and this reliance forms part of their interest in the property. This reliance then motivates investment.

    How is this relevant? One can invest into a property, but never use our rely upon it. The upper classes don’t need most commons to survive, but form the substantial contribution to it. Where as the lower and middle classes rely heavily upon the commons and thus will seek to invest and defend it.

    This creates a convergence of different types of incentives between different stakeholder concerns. The interplay between them results in robust care for the commons.

    Without a militia, those whose stake in the commons revolves around reliance, have no means to protect their interests, and thus this robust care for the commons declines.

    And the ecology of stakeholder interest devolve into seeking control or, whinging about control, from one stakeholder group to another: competition for control over the commons.

    Thus killing a community, society or civilization is rather simple: Social construction by creating a competing (divergent) frame.

    In doing so the separate factions of the society will consume each other in the competition for consumption and or control over their shared properties.

    Divide and let them conquer themselves for you

    INFLATION IS THE FUEL OF CORRUPTION OF THE STATE

    By Francesco Principi

    (read and learn)

    This is the reason why the northeastern border of the Roman empire stopped at the Rhine river. The Germans were poor populations and therefore of no interest to the Romans

    The goal of the rulers who so badly governed was to coin and spend more. Caracalla thought that if he had removed some silver from the coins, nobody would have noticed and that he would have multiplied the money in circulation. It was ultimately a good thing for everyone.

    The Roman coin was the denarius, and from him comes the word money, it was initially pure silver. At the time of Augustus, the first emperor, each denarius was made up of 95% silver and 5% other metals, such as bronze. A century later, with Trajan, the percentage of silver was 85%. Eighty years later, Marcus Aurelius once again depreciated the denarius, bringing it to only 75% of silver. The denarius, therefore, had devalued by 20% in two centuries. A fairly tolerable thing. Caracalla, who was in great need of capital for his expenses, devalued the coin to leave us only 50 percent of silver; that is, he devalued it by 25 percent in one year.

    The aureus also lost value due to a legal provision. During the reign of Augustus, about forty coins came out of every pound of gold. Caracalla extended the pound until he also got out fifty coins which, of course, maintained the face value, but not the purchasing power.

    With such a monetary experiment and without the emperor predicting it, prices shot up. Caracalla missed the party: living in the countryside in Asia, he was stabbed by one of his guards while pissing on the edge of a road. A worthy end for one of the most impudent people in history.

    Those who came after him did nothing but make things worse. Almost all the emperors of the third century were military and almost all came to power following violent coups. There is a figure that says a lot: only one of them, Ostiliano, who reigned for six months in 251, died of natural causes; the rest fell at the hands of the guards or on the battlefield, generally against their successors. This period is defined by historians as “the crisis of the third century”. To tell the truth, they should speak of the end of Roman civilization, because from this moment on the Roman world became much more similar to the medieval period than to the classical one.

    Over the course of this century, the denarius never stopped devaluing, until it was converted into a piece of silver-plated bronze that quickly passed from hand to hand. But bad money, as the saying goes, passes from hand to hand and nobody keeps it. As for the aureus, it practically disappeared from circulation, and when it appeared it was thinned and adulterated. Inflation exceeded 1,000%, and this only with the fragmented data we have available: probably, in certain periods and in certain places it was even greater.

    After the political and economic chaos of the third century, Diocletian’s adjustment came and, without being able to resort to devaluation anymore, he crushed the inhabitants of the Empire with taxes and attempted a monetary reform. The reform failed and its edict sanctioning a price cap was completely ignored by people who, in less than a century, had gone from having silver money in their pockets to handling the so-called “follis”, small pieces of bronze of low value . The Romans had been staggeringly depleted in just a few decades because of the government; and with them the commerce, industry and agriculture of the Empire declined.

    The seed of the almighty state, always in need of funds to survive, had now taken root. Emperor Constantine suppressed the aureus and put into circulation a new gold coin, the solid, much depreciated compared to the previous one. An aureus of the ancients was worth, for the quantity of precious metal contained, two solids. The silver coin, adulterated to the point of nausea, disappeared from circulation.

    Constantine obtained the amount of gold necessary for the reform by confiscating it from the rich eastern cities and pagan temples, already in retreat behind the conversion of the Emperor to Christianity. To finance the functioning of the state, new taxes were invented that could only be paid in gold, the only form of payment accepted by foreign mercenaries who militated in the army. They were called barbarians, although, to tell the truth, even though they were barbarians, they were certainly not fools, since they were willing to gamble their lives only for real money.

    Gold turned into a refuge for those who could get it, that is, the military and high imperial officials. The rest of the population had to settle for the bronze in the bags and the copper of the informal money, illegally coined, which served as a small coin. The rich class of small owners and merchants, the ancient base of Roman greatness, was ruined without the possibility of recovery. There was therefore a concentration of land in the hands of a few large owners

    So we can conclude that inflation (beyond high taxation) is the fuel of any corrupt state.

    Having no large quantities of gold or precious metals, the Romans drew human capital from the Germanic populations and used them in their army.

    EITHER WAY WE HAVE TO OUTLAW SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION BY FALSE PROMISE

    (worth repeating)

    —So if (((the))) war on western-sensemaking: our realism, naturalism, operationalism, sovereignty, reciprocity, testimony, commons, and eugenics, is a continuation of their ancient world rebellion against the masculine empires, and an involuntary rebellion against evolution-eugenics.

    This means if it’s genetic, as it is in our women,it’s irreparable, and separation is the only possibility. If it’s purely cultural (doesn’t appear to be) then it’s a matter of separating from their culture. Either way we have to outlaw it by requiring truthful reciprocal speech.

    Which is the purpose of my work on the law: to end the repeatedly successful use of abrahamic technique at destroying civilizations from within by false promise, baiting into hazard, selling to vulnerable women and the underclasses, and reversing east and west eugenics.
