There’s also “legislating from the executive branch”.

Yes, and President Trump was one of the very, very few Presidents in the last 100 years NOT to do that, by and large. Those who missed that sort of thing are really going to love the Fake President’s attempts to emulate Odumbass the Lightworker’s end-runs around the Constitution via Executive Orders, and the totally spineless Republicucks whining and bleating about it won’t do a damned thing to stop him.

That a country can accept corruption at worst with open arms and at best with indifference and still survive its inevitable decay?

Well exactly. It can’t. That’s what I’ve said repeatedly for years. America’s destruction is assured and we’re watching its death-spiral.

Stop thinking George Orwell’s “1984” and start thinking Yevgeny Zamyatin’s “We” or Ayn Rand’s “Anthem”.

Funny you should mention them. I read both as a teenager and I found them to be highly compelling, if rather odd, visions of the future. I never thought either would come to pass, they seemed far too impractical. Now, of course, I’m not so sure.

The future increasingly looks like the soma-induced nightmare of Brave New World combined with the absolute thought control of 1984 to enforce the total conformity of We.

Fortunately, some countries have already gone through that nonsense and they aren’t about to have any more of it. The future may well belong to Christian Eastern Europe – assuming that they can really ramp up baby production there, which would be a MOST pleasurable duty for at least some of their men.

I think deep down, Trump understood what kind of shit storm he will find himself in if he continued to steer that ship (or what little he could). Let Biden take the hit and just hope that the right wing states will eventually separate themselves from this madness and make a new start on their own.

That is not my reading of the situation. From everything that I have heard – including from people with inside sources in the US military and government – the God-Emperor fought on until the very end, within the instruments and channels of government, to force a recount and full accounting of the election.

Basically, the US military leadership – not necessarily the rank-and-file, but more the Pentaloons and the flag-level types – abandoned him and broke their oaths to defend the Constitution. In my personal opinion, they also broke the chain of command – the military acts under civilian authority and orders.

Part of this was undoubtedly due to the fact – and it IS a fact – that the Trump Administration didn’t do a particularly great job of presenting their case about electoral fraud. Giuliani, Powell, and so on, should have created a far more convincing analysis of the fraud. I think they did what they could against relentless media pressure and manipulation, but their presentation was severely lacking and the data that they released were not overwhelmingly convincing to the tens of millions of people getting their news filtered through the kidneys of the never-to-be-sufficiently-cursed whorenalists.

As for whether or not the red states will separate – it’s not going to be anything like that simple. This “red-vs-blue state” divide is not clean. If you look at the county level in the USA, the picture becomes far more confusing. There are hardcore deep-blue counties scattered throughout deep-red states – see e.g. Austin, Texas, where the state Capitol sits. I’ve been there. It is one of the most tofu-muncher granola-friendly cities in the country, but it’s surrounded on all sides by hardcore Texans. You simply CANNOT separate Austin easily from the rest of Texas – and you cannot separate the Capitol from Austin.

This is a more common problem than you might think in America. Another good example is Clownipornia – we think of it as the most ridiculously blue of blue states, but actually roughly 50% of its geography is red. The densely-populated blue areas simply wipe out the sparsely-populated red ones.

The separation will not be easy or simple. It will be brutal, bloody, and horrific.

Military spending and welfare are out of control. The war on drugs is continuing to reinforce the prison system and the central bank is printing money into oblivion.

It always was: haven’t you heard of the phrase “legislating from the bench”?

This is what happens when some appellate jurisdiction or some Circuit Court decides they can create law from previously untested precedent.

There’s also “legislating from the executive branch”.

What do you think the Code of Federal Regulations is, a legislative work?

It’s all of the rules that the executive branch likes to imagine have a 100% basis in law.

So this idea that the United States is a nation of laws? It’s very tenuous.

It’s all aggressive fiat layered upon more aggressive fiat, right down to the currency itself.

“IT’S OVER. AMERICA IS DONE.”

What would you expect?

That a country can accept corruption at worst with open arms and at best with indifference and still survive its inevitable decay?

This doesn’t bother me except in the sense that it limits the amount of time remaining that the United States remains a viable concern.

But understand this: “as above, so below” may be the stinky phrase of a bunch of “illuminist” cultists, but they are entirely right about this situation because the stench from above has permeated what is below.

Now the corruption is so deep that it’s down to the neighbourhood level, and the goal is quite obviously to have the corruption present in every house as well.

The United States just got its moral high ground cherry popped because now the world sees the corruption very clearly, from Big Tech’s management of inconvenient narratives to the installation of a true Manchurian Candidate.

“America is now very clearly a single-party state.”

It has been since Eisenhower left office.

He was the last true populist President who was elected on a platform and mostly delivered on it.

Ever since then, it’s been a pretence of simulating a two-party system within the One State.

Stop thinking George Orwell’s “1984” and start thinking Yevgeny Zamyatin’s “We” or Ayn Rand’s “Anthem”.

Especially “Anthem”, because most people operate at the level of being techno-primitives with no clear concept of how anything really works, behaving like savages from a previous century thrown into a magnificent future that’s so amazing they don’t even need to understand it.

“There is no use pretending that voting will get you out of this.”

Slavoj Zizek said it best: voting is a solitary masturbatory act performed in a voting booth.

Hate the man for the Communist he truly is, but this message is spot on.

Deep down, I don’t trust “my fellow Americans”, but I also don’t trust “my fellow Brits” either, and that’s because they’ve believed that they can go into voting booths to jerk off emotively about their desired political enslavement while doing little to nothing to counteract the decay.

They’re too willing to embrace corruption and welcome it on a personal level.

“Concentrate instead on more fruitful activities …”

Already have — why do you think I’m an agorist?

Inside every socialist democratic capitalist, there’s an agorist waiting to be let out. 🙂
