Here is the good news: Trump will win the 2024 election. Here is the bad news: Kackles Kneepads Harris and her team will steal it. America is about to get its first XX chromosome sort-of half-black President. She will prove once and for all that sucking and swallowing your way to the top is a viable strategy. What a bitter “victory” for women 2024 will be!
I truly hope I am wrong, but I agree with John Carter. The lunatic left did it once and they are about to do it again. They still have that kind of power; who knows for how much longer?
I am a solutions girl and though I have violent tendencies a plenty I enthusiastically do not recommend anyone take up the sword at this point. As John Carter foresees, the Demstapo will likely come after bank accounts and wage war on whitey (and black and Hispanic Trump voters) by drafting their sons to fight its foreign forever wars. I foresee new plandemics and new vaccines and an entire chunk of people who should know better going along with them. On the plus side, I also see the new plandemics driving larger and larger numbers towards homeschooling and the alternative economy.
I am angry, and don’t get me wrong: you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry. Nevertheless, explosive anger does not build the system we are going to need when the Left’s Wendigo devours the last shreds of the economy trying to preserve its own salary class obsession.
Outside of building a nuclear bunker, hoarding toilet paper, dog food, and packets of freeze-dried fruit bits, there are things you can do right now, TODAY, to defeat the regime.
1. Generally accept where we are in the scheme of history. We are never going back to the prosperity of the 1960s - 2000s. It’s over. The US and other industrialized nations are in their Insane Roman Emperor phase. The common people are in the same situation as late 18th century French peasants, and unlike them, we don’t know how to survive a famine.
2. Stop focusing on making more money and focus on skill-building. Everybody is good at something. Me? I’m a decent cook, I have a bit of a green thumb, and I am (with the help of the gods) fairly decent at writing/arranging music and doing Ogham divinations. None of these things is lucrative but all of them have been deeply enriching in a way that high rollers who live in palatial houses with five bathrooms will never understand. I am better off teaching myself to cook some new thrifty dish than I will ever be wringing my hands about how to get out of debt. Everybody except Dave Ramsey is in debt and actually I am not sure about him; he does seem to live beyond anyone’s reasonable means. Kim freaking Kardashian is in debt. Appearances are deceiving, especially the put-on appearances of others. Focus on skills. Focus on YOU.
3. For the love of the gods, STAY PUT. I understand wanderlust but holy hell, start investing in your local area by not flying or driving off to distant lands at every opportunity just because you can. The spirits of the land are PISSED because every single person, even ostensibly poor people, are obsessed with traversing the globe in metal machines to re-deposit themselves elsewhere. Illegal immigration, in large part, is driven by the compulsive drive of modern day humans to race to the other side in search of greener grass. To those rich enough to leave their houses for weeks or months at a time: what are you escaping from? Your nice house and yard in a crime-free neighborhood?
4. Touch the earth. Get outside, find a tree, sit with your back to it, and see what happens. Go to the forest preserve without headphones and listen to the sounds of birds, bugs, and wind whooshing through the trees. If you can find a way, garden. Even potted herbs or a houseplant can connect you with the rhythms of nature and are far better than nothing.
5. Stop buying new whenever it is possible and practical. Not only are you spending far too much money if you are buying new stuff, you are supporting the kind of outsourced, Chinese-made economy that killed the working class back in the 1970s and 80s.
6. Find your tribe and trade skill for service. As the economy continues to implode, the only people who are going to preserve any quality of life will be the ones who networked with each other to get what they need. This is the hardest thing for me to do, because my modest income comes from clients paying me directly as I do not work for a salary. That said, I occasionally swap services and gifts instead of money.
7. Extricate yourself from hate. Locking yourself into opposition with the runners of the s**tshow wastes your energy and time. Unless you are suddenly granted King of the World status, you will only spin your wheels by attending protests and rallies, ranting online, and busting ass to crusade for a “fairer” world. Let’s say you manage to slash your way into the regime’s caviar and pizza party: you can butcher all of the tuxedo and gown crowd you like… the ones who weren’t at the party will reconvene elsewhere after a few lizard-person/crocodile tears about the dearly departed before resuming business as usual like nothing ever happened. Your unabombing makes no difference. You truly are better off figuring out how to grow your own tomatoes.
8. Save your paper books and magazines. The internet is in a sketchy place. (Anyone who is thinking of taking up influencing as a career should probably think more long term.) We are going to arrive at a future not too far down the road where old books are worth a hell of a lot more than they are now. Did you know bookshelves make great insulation? If you have a wall that is cold in cold weather and hot in hot weather, putting a well-stocked, floor to ceiling bookshelf on it can solve the problem. Just be sure to anchor any big bookshelf to the wall because falling bookshelves are dangerous.
9. Take up religious practice. Personally, I am not a Christian and I don’t recommend taking up any kind of Christianity that involves a meaningless two-hour ceremony once a week sandwiched between the warblings of a worship band’s muzak while the pastor cajoles you into parting with money you don’t have. When I say religious practice, I mean reviving the idea of taking up the cross, embracing voluntary simplicity, earnestly trying to communicate with the Divine via prayer, and trying to be like Jesus at every conscious moment. If you have the lucky circumstance of being near a Catholic church practicing the old mass or an Orthodox church, you might want to join it depending on the vibe. In my own non-Christian case, I have an everyday routine of performing the Sphere of Protection banishing ritual, discursive meditation, and divination plus prayer that helps keep my intentions on the up and up. The new religiosity is not quite like the old one, but there are similarities. Do not join a religion where everyone is basically phoning it in and the “leaders” patently expect to be placed at the right hand of God for a trillion years after one lackluster human life.
Overall, there is always going to be a part of me that wants to go all in and make the parties who are spearheading the current predicament pay dearly for what they have done. Again, I am no pacifist and I would be highly satisfied to see heads roll into bloodied baskets, though when you think about it, well-placed wheelbarrows would probably be a better option.
There are limits to everything, including bloody revolutions waged upon the gaslighting brigade. One of the limits of torching the castle and forcing Kackles to walk the plank into a chamber of hungry crocodiles is that it means nice things come to an end for you and me. Revolution means no more avocados or chilled beer. Sure things will change and get better… eventually... for your grandchildren. Better, I think, to start building the post-revolution world before the revolution occurs, IF it ever occurs. Enjoy those avocados while you still can!
"start investing in your local area"
This. 100x this.
Think local. Act local. Buy local. Vote local. In your whole life, there has never been a more important time to get on first-name terms with ALL your neighbors. Because they are the most important part of your security system: physical security, food security, job security, ALL the security you can have in an age of chaos and crime, is the people you live next to.
Look out for them, and give them as much incentive as possible to look out for you.
Great piece my feisty friend. Love every bit of it. You can feel it in your bones can’t you.
