“The war of reaction must, therefore, involve a broad-based and unrelenting attack on all progressive doctrines, not only economic and political but also cultural, educational, religious, linguistic, therapeutic, biological, etc. All political and social norms and taboos inflicted on society by progressives must be ruthlessly exposed and ridiculed, and mercilessly crushed.”

“In the same way that we are never allowed to declare that we are diverse enough, we're similarly not allowed to ask when the cap on transitioning children is allowed to be implemented. Or rather, you can ask - you just won't get an answer.”

The way people in "dissident" political circles talk about the fallout of the COVID hysteria really speaks volumes about what people's lives and priorities must be like.

Folx are very flippant in saying "COVID is over" or "NPCs fixating on Current Thing"—the simple fact is that the long-run effects of the mass hysteria and overzealous COVID policy are going to be with us for years.

The mass hysteria is no longer being pumped as aggressively by the media, but this doesn't undo the massive dysfunction that's been created across the entire economy and the day-to-day function of society.

I cannot even get a plumber to give me a firm answer on when they can come by to deal with an issue for me, and this is with dozens of different plumbing companies in the area. They all say they're short-staffed.

How is this relevant to COVID?

Well, when you print a third of all USD in circulation within a two-year time frame, that kind of destroys the value of your currency. And then people kind of develop new expectations for how much they should be paid, since the wages that were once adequate are no longer adequate. And then business owners who budgeted for certain wage growth expectations can't afford to meet those demands, because they too are suffering from the devaluation of the currency. So they can't retain employees, because no one will work for nothing.

And that's how you get from "you are going to die of the common cold, the sky is falling" to not being able to get a plumber to come to your house.

We can do this with other stuff, too. Try getting a doctor's appointment right now—like, a real doctor, not urgent care or a nurse practitioner—this was already a pain before the scamdemic, but good luck doing it now.

How about contractors to build something for you? See you in six months.

Even something as simple as shopping at a retail store seems to have become a noticeably worse experience, since pretty much every type of business is struggling to retain employees right now.

When boomers say "nobody wants to work anymore," they're not exactly wrong, they just don't understand the actual reason why—it's not because "that Biden gave out too much welfare"—it's because the value of the dollar and the incentives to work or not work have been completely and totally fucked up.

The "COVID is Over" folx really want you to just pretend like there isn't a straight line between the massive shutdown of March 2020—in which tens of millions of Americans lost their normal jobs and demand went through the floor—has nothing to do with any of the economic pains we're experiencing now.

It's not just a straight line, it's the obvious and direct cause of all this. In a sane society, the people responsible for this would lose everything. A serious dissident movement would make this a core part of its platform, and would frame the issue in terms of visiting real consequences upon the cowards and control freaks who caused all this.

The normie cattle got bored of talking about COVID, the excitement of living in fear lost its edge, and the political utility of keeping restrictions in place wore itself out. And "dissident" folx went right along with that.

Ensured Infertility Amongst African Women: Bill Gates' Sinister Depo-Provera Parties

Dr. John T. Littell: "In Africa, they [Gates' program] would have Depo-Provera parties every month, and they would bring all sorts of bottles and beads and gifts to the young girls as young as 12 years of age. And that would be an opportunity for them to inject them with Depo-Provera, which ensured infertility in those young tribal women. It also ensured the end of their normal reproductive cycles for the time that they were on to Depo-Provera, and in the majority of cases, far beyond. So I've seen many, many cases where Depo-Provera has caused permanent infertility."

This meditation on duty comes at a good time for me as I am thinking (and streaming and writing) on authority.

We can fail to be good authorities in two ways: Tyranny and neglect.

The opposite of neglect is doing your duty.

Remember this whenever someone says that "stimulus checks" caused inflation—it wasn't "stimulus checks," it was the massive sweetheart packages given to Corporate Amerika.

"I love seeing "Putin is desperate" and "Russia will collapse in two weeks" comments from several months ago."

🤣

I laugh because of the bravado in these "walls are closing in"-type predictions.

This is nothing new.

Garet Garrett noted that the US Empire was marked by "a complex of fear and vaunting" long ago.

They will not learn from their predictions being wrong. When have they ever?

“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”

Matthew 9:36

Reading Academic Agent’s book on elite theory keeps bringing this verse to mind.

Like sheep without a shepherd indeed!

When her being homeschooled comes up with our 16yo, she has made a habit of asking peers what they think of school.

The vast majority respond negatively.

A minority of females genuinely like it.

ZERO males like school.

Get the boys out of there!

It just occurred to me that all of the shops in the North East still have those plastic shields between the customer and person serving which came in during Covid. As far as I'm aware there aren't even any regulations or laws requesting that the plastic shields remain in place. It's more like everyone stopped noticing they were there, it became just ''normal'' until people stopped seeing them as something new and different.

Including myself.

The curious thing is, if I were to ask the people working in the shop why the plastic shields are still there they probably couldn't explain. However, if I suggested they should be taken down I'd probably be greeted with an odd look of confusion. The process of normalization has resulted in the onus being placed on me to explain why they should be taken down.

I suspect they would answer something like ''it's safer regardless of Covid'' and they'd be correct, it will limit the spread of flu and colds etc.

But what we're really witnessing is a ratchet which glides oh-so smoothly in one direction, but once clicked into place is extraordinarily difficult to pull back.
