Frankly, hiring a few NEETs to maintain a Real History of Current Year would be a better use of money than nearly any other project right now
Both to preserve the true counter-narrative, + simply to maintain the memory of all these events that are so easy to forget in the deluge
Based
Remember that one of the cores of this thing is to exist as a counter-propaganda movement. The 1/6 "insurrection" was fake news from the start, on a level unrivaled outside of the Russian Collusion Hoax
For some reason it took *four weeks* for the media to finally report the truth
Four weeks while they convinced the public of the exact opposite of the truth. Once the lie is established, *then* they start to walk it back. That's how the facts are faked
The one thing that is self-evidently true yet can also be shockingly hard to internalize is that if the people charged with reporting reality instead report lies, then *reality becomes lies*
There is no higher authority to correct them. Who fact-checks the fact-checkers?
With no ego, it is us, while it happens, because the media is so predictable in their tells, giveaways, blind spots, and prejudices that random anons can spot their lies in the moment they're being told
These people are not that smart. There's a reason everything they say increasingly sounds like this:
Because that's all that it is. And the longer we expose them, the more of this they become.

Trust can't be restored within the framework of the regime. It can't allow itself to be reformed, because pulling up any plank of the system undermines nearly every other part of it as well. Reform, for it, is collapse
So its survival requires enforcing complete submission to it
Complete submission is by no means guaranteed, they actually have very little will to use force (so far), and use of force tends to be a failure-mode within democracy, hence "nudges," "policies," and anarcho-tyranny, all forms of hand-washing away responsibility
But as for restoring trust, that simply can't happen within this framework. Coercion is their only remaining option. Engineering and enforcing the fake appearance of trust, to match the rest of the fake and gay regime
lmao. This is why @Tinkzorg is one of my most favorite recent follows
It's no coincidence that Jurassic Park as explained here "got it," because Michael Crichton "got it," that's how Crichton coined the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect, the original "fake news"
One of the simplest ways of understanding American politics, and by extension all Western politics, is that you have a once-stable political system (post-WW2 order) increasingly pushed toward a chaotic instability
Hence Brexit, Trump, Italy, Hungary, even Bolsonaro, etc
The ruling order—described in this piece as the guy automating the electric fences to keep the dinosaurs out—is increasingly unable to sustain those once-electric fences
It won't allow a "Trump" etc to repair them, either. That's why I think we're inevitably headed towards chaos
This is the Big Fat Skeleton Key to understanding nearly everything around us. This culture's basic ideological framework is that everything that exists is a result of nurture and environment (including "socio-economic status")
This is shocking and upsetting in many ways, because a culture that promises everything is the result of nurture means that you can always wildly improve your lot in life—and especially your children's—by adhering to the scientifically-approved nurture, environment, and policies
But the fact is we're all limited, in many ways, and to an immense variance between us all, from the moment we are conceived
Yet I find this immensely liberating, in the *real* sense of the word. For it relieves everyone of being in constant competition with everyone, for life
"Why have our discussions about class shifted away from money?", asks the genius, whose political party has become the party of the wealthy and whose propaganda media organ sets the national political narrative
Imagine believing that the car dealership owner in Wherever Ohio with a net worth of $4M has any real political power in comparison to the entire academic-media class whose ideology has also conquered Google Facebook etc
This is the precise position of a huge amount of them, which is why they are nonetheless "elites" despite not having much money, in that they have real political power that they wield to further advance the interests of the "true" elites they wish to join
The Cathedral looking as strong as it's ever been in some ways while also being on absolute fucking life support is just beyond all reckoning. No one can predict where this is going at this point
On the one hand: almost total institutional capture. On the other hand: it can't even answer the questions of its own pet media anymore
And this phenomenon isn't just about the presidency, it's about every realm of it
Science is increasingly shutting down all internal questions that might contradict it; higher education the same (while also panickedly treating its students like convicts until a broken Science finally solves the plague); even the military purging itself for purity over function
Civil War discourse is very simple: if you can't honestly explain the South's perspective for deciding to do something as extreme as (mostly peaceful) secession, then you don't understand the Civil War, at all.
And yes, you may absolutely include slavery. That's a no-brainer.
We all know the North's perspective (although not really lol, but let's just pretend). But if you can't explain the South's perspective, then you don't actually understand the Civil War.
To understand the Civil War, you must be able to explain *both sides*
Wish I could remember the exact book that flipped my perspective on this. But it was just a normie book, not even "based," everyone loved it, even scholars. 700-page tome
It just laid out very plainly the political conditions on both sides that convinced the South to secede.
