The elite class has been ideologically captured in a way we haven't seen since the 1930s. Trumpism was a rebuke of this, but a moderate one—an attempt to curb their worst excesses

In response, the elite monoclass went full scorched earth. Which it proved it has the power to do
"Pregnant female fighter pilots are the backbone of our military!" insists the top brass, completely exposing itself

The problem is that once even the top brass is doing naked jumping jacks in front of the window, there's no one left to come and arrest them for indecent exposure
"No brakes on the Trump train!," that was the refrain, but he just wanted to install some brakes on the regime, and they spent five years crucifying him for it

To the point where the regime now labels anyone who says "You know I kind of like brakes" as a domestic terrorist
This is where the normie should be getting wide-eyed. Because the elite monoclass just showed it's too insecure to let us put any brakes on it

And that it has the power and influence, across every single institution, to rearrange everything to stop you from even slowing it down
And this means that this same ruling class is going to win bigly, for many generations—or that what arises to oppose it is going to make Trumpism look like a Sunday drive

When reform is made impossible, you get a cascade. One way or the other.

It implies a sense of finality and commitment that is terrifying to the oversocialized youth that have to constantly update their prior beliefs the second their peer group receives a new ideological update from the same people they keep pretending they're going to guillotine
Modern usage of the exclamation point (often by a slightly older peer group) is a complement to this

Just as using periods is a sign of aggression, using an ! serves to deflect aggression when the user dares to say something others might disagree with

A huge amount of modern social interaction is about deflecting aggression, come to think of it. This is why we evolved the ability to cry in the first place

Which is why modern politicians spend so much time doing it

Much of the urge to attack Substack is ideological, but a huge amount of it is simple personal ressentiment

Journos understand they are fully replaceable, no one cares about them as *them*, they have no actual insight or voice. We're one GPT update from them all being replaced
Any outlet that lets fun people talk exposes how the journalist is no more than an empty vessel fulfilling a rote function

Journalists are just dimly bright enough to understand they could be replaced by half the students in any undergrad class and not a single soul would notice
When a journalist looks upon someone that people *enjoy* reading, who won't be forgotten the very instant the tab is closed, their mind's eye watches themselves getting depantsed in front of a laughing crowd, over and over

They understand what they are

As 21st century data accumulation accelerates, pinning down each of our lives, it's no coincidence that everything feels pre-determined, how if you knew the exact position of every particle at the start of the universe, you could predict its entire future, it's all on guard rails
If politics feels like it's on the exact same guard rails, it's for the exact same reasons

All that we are is measured + known, + can be manipulated through even more subtle pressures. All human desire can be hacked—and hacked all the better as the source code is further derived
But "hacking" is not natural. It's an exploit of the system. The thing is that the system here is the soul

If everything feels thinner, paler, it's for this same reason too: the more that is known, about you, by the rulers, the more they know how to curb the free will

One of the defining outcomes of full-burn liberalism is being liberated from all responsibility. The moment you have true responsibilities, ones you can't just walk away from, you're no longer "free"

Perpetual adolescence is the peak means to achieve that end
So the trans insight is completely true: it's an attempt to liberate yourself from the responsibility of your born sex. "Trans women are women" is the slogan, but nobody expects trans women to bear any of the responsibilities that biowomen do

That is a huge part of its appeal
Full equality requires full liberation, which requires the full "dismantling" of any supposed psychological or instinctive differences between men and women

Which means that any attempt to teach boys and girls how to grow into their own instincts is now "hateful"

Once you understand how powerful propaganda is, it becomes immensely tempting to use it yourself

One of the reasons we've built an anti-reality machine is that journalism selects for people who are able to mindkill themselves to what they're doing
The flip side of this is that it's impossible (and idiotic to expect) you can transmit the full understanding of what leads to a good, virtuous, and productive society to every member of it

So some definition of "propaganda" is absolutely vital to keeping society functional
This means that "propaganda" itself isn't an evil function, it's a neutral one. Its virtue depends on the truth it's derived from

This might take the form of tradition, religion, Party doctrine, journalism, etc

One of the enduring mysteries of corona-chan is how much institutional opposition there's been to cheap, low (or even zero) risk at-home treatments and prophylactics

All of the Approved Science has only ever been social controls, and a vaccine
It's not like this is the first and only vitamin D study. We've had them since *last spring*. You might even look to that bane of "trust the science," "using your own eyes," to see how the virus fares where people get lots of vitamin D from sunlight

Oh

There are multiple (entirely accidental!) studies showing that smoking is highly *protective* against corona, reducing hospitalizations/serious cases by like 70-80%

Yet I've heard multiple gov PSAs telling me smoking makes you *more vulnerable to it*

It's all very very strange
