The people closest to Kamala, the brat people, are genuinely incompetent. Prob the last staffers she hasn’t scared away, given her past controversies. True sycophants, sassy, insecure nobodies who spend too much time distracted online. 1/10
The real wire pullers in the regime were so blinded by her race, gender, her “beauty” her “eloquence” that they never actually probed her. This sounds impossible, but think about it. How do rich white liberal women act around smart black women? They become their slaves. 2/10
In private, Kamala is an oddball drunk—and actually maybe in private she’s even sweet and fun. Which made her even more deadly to the naive true believers behind the scenes. They saw her as an almost angelic figure. Who would press her on policy? She's too perfect. 3/10
When she got swapped in for Joe, some of the real wirepullers, a la Dana Bash, started to attempt to guide her. They allowed her inept inner circle to still do cute dumb stuff like brat summer, ineffective but probably harmless, but they also gave her a firm direction. 4/10
But at a certain point the rubber had to meet the road. I believe one of the key pieces of rhetoric her new handlers asked her repeatedly to drive home is how she would be different from Joe. They probably said to her “look it doesn’t matter if you’re different than Joe, but people need to THINK you're different than Joe because they always want change. Just tell them what they want to hear.” 5/10
but then they left the actual preparation to Kamala herself and her core team, thinking they could handle it, and certainly not condescending to imagine they could force these black women to do anything. But Kamala's core team actually couldn’t handle it, and they didn’t actually prepare at all. 6/10
I’ve never seen a politician less prepared than Kamala in tonight's friendly CNN town hall and the Brett Baier interview. She didn't just evade uncomfortable questions, she evaded all the questions. They teed her up over and over to answer “how are you different”—and she failed time and again. She didn’t do the homework. 7/10
Dana Bash saying she “didn’t close the deal” was actually Dana speaking directly to Kamala. She was saying to “hey, we told you what to do, but you didn’t do it…you didn’t do the work.” Basically throwing up her hands in anger because, really, what else could she do? 8/10
Remember, Bash and Anderson Cooper are not “journalists” they are regime propagandists. Their job is to inform us of new policies and actions in a way that feels objective and fair, and to push away threats that disturb the sheep. They are extremely smart and competent and hard working. However, there is only so much they can do. They can't FORCE Kamala to do the work she needs to do in order to reasonably answer questions. They can only give her the questions beforehand, and tee her up gently, which they have repeatedly done. Kamala has simply refused to hold up her side of the bargain.
The New Eminem Video is a Bud Light Commercial🧵
The Regime is Attempting to Get Us Back
It begins with "disturbing" bedstand, which in prior years wouldve held a bottle of whiskey, gun, coke, valium, etc.
Now, with Eminem 16 years sober, it's Liquid Death and boner pills 1/11
Liquid Death perfect symbol for Eminem's sad decline from real to phony, as Liquid Death itself was invented by a Warped Tour promoter who noticed musicians would pour water into beer cans to look cooler drinking them on stage
The video is a skin suit for this: 2/11
The rest is a commercial for Bud Light. This is obvious as Eminem sports a shirt and doesn't criticize the brand.
Why?
Because Bud Light is touchpoint in massive propaganda campaign to recapture the favor of "average American males," for its parent company and the Regime. 3/11
In 2008, Obama used popular “street artist” and weapons grade cuck Shepard Fairey’s trademark designs to break the political ad mold, a big part of the reason, imho, he was so appealing. Funny how obviously referential to communism it was even then. 1/4
Today, a less well known advertising designer named David Rudnick originated this sort of design you see everywhere. Hypermodern. Chromatic/metallic. And very deep fried. The Biden camp tried it out, and it didn’t work. 2/4
The work was done by low end, very mediocre creative agency called Mosaic, small, unknown, provincial. VERY odd they’d work for Biden campaign.
“Where good humans go to craft brands…” 🤢
And of course, I don’t even need to tell you it’s “black and woman owned”.
A precious new vein of IP: fish-out-of-water stories of Westerners living not in the third world where they become white saviors (there’s plenty of those), but in places, like contemporary Japan, where they face the opposite. 1/19
These stories are particularly interesting now, with Asia ascendant, and because they’re so rare. I can think of only two on-the-ground gonzo reports about the Tokyo underworld today. Tokyo Vice, the memoir behind the HBO show, and People Who Eat Darkness by Richard Lloyd Perry, imho the most underrated literary true crime book of all time, about the murder of a British hostess club girl in Roppongi. In Tokyo Vice, Rachel Keller also plays an Roppongi hostess club girl, an exploitative Geisha-like role we don't have in the West. 2/19
We crave this stuff, in large part because we're so sick of hearing about our place atop our own (alleged) glass floor. But since Japan and China have, unlike the West, strong immune systems against foreign meddlers, it’s unusual for these reports to make it out. 3/19
My hometown strikes again. First, Evanston became the first city in the world to offer reparations—25k one time payment to black residents.
Now, it's bringing back segregation.
1/7
I'm from the BLM-lawn-sign capital of the world. Evanston a perfect storm of AWFLness—hometown of Frances Willard, founder of Women's Temperance Movement, and heavily involved in every non-liberal liberal movement in history. 2/7
Perfect ratio of minorities and rich lefty white people to create endless cycle of ever increasing apologies and actions aimed at a problem they only make worse and worse.
So thus they come full circle back to segregation. 3/7
We are currently witnessing key moment in culture war history as a homeless encampment underneath one of LA’s most trafficked freeways, the 10, caught fire and destroyed the freeway “indefinitely.” 1/4
You can tell it’s a big deal cause they’ve trotted out “mayor” Karen Bass, all but absent at all other times, and Newsom himself to tell us that the images were seeing “may not correspond with reality” while obese trans sign language translator fills most of the screen 2/4
To put this in perspective, this would be like the 6 train shutting down service in lower manhattan indefinitely, except worse because no way around it (for eg using busses). totally crippling for LA—most restaurants for eg get their food from downtown distributors. 3/4
In roughly 2013, something unprecedented happened in American Culture; the most productive artistic culture since the Renaissance.
Culture's natural waveform began shifting rightward, just as it had in the 80s and 50s, a natural correction to dominant progressivism. 1/7
But the cultural gatekeepers, now mostly women, refused to allow this natural shift. They barred critiques and banned art/ideas that served this new demand. They knocked culture off its trajectory, freezing out natural successors, splitting culture in two: natural & unnatural 2/7
In order to satisfy the demand for SOMETHING new, they selected art and artists that upped the progressive stakes to insane/comical heights—e.g. soundcloud rappers with face tattoos, or Lizzo. 3/7
