Content I live, this is my stay--
I seek no more than may suffice--
I press to bear no haughty sway--
Look-- what I lack my mind supplies!

“Really beginning with the Carter administration, when he was promoting immigration as a means of cutting wages in the southwest. It was Carter that began to realize that, well, there’s a lot of labor that’s making too much money in the southwest, we’ll spur immigration.” - Michael Hudson
To push inflation into assets rather than wages you need mass immigration.
What’s wrong with wage inflation? It means you have a stronger working class. Who benefits from that? The working class. Who loses? The “asset owning class.”
That’s it.

The status quo is a result of deindustrialization policies promoted by the Thatcherites to produce the status quo— yes, now there are only individuals, proletarians have been converted into petty bourgeois “individual contract workers” etc.
The most telling quote is “this working class business is in the past”— where are the proletarians now? Not so much in the center of the empire— we now have a “service” dominated economy of unproductive menial servants— servants are petty bourgeois, the bartender for instance is a great representative of the mercenary individualist petty bourgeois.

John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Wouldn't this be taken as heretical by pretty much all Christian denominations now? That a subsequent Christian could be equal to, if not surpass, Jesus Christ himself in works?
This is my issue with debating about "philosophical theological Christianity" -- Christianity is not some finished product-- go read these books yourself, try to figure out what's going on there with all your sophisticated technology, your centuries of scholarship-- what is going on in John 14:12?

Talking politics with people is a waste of time considering “politics” under this hegemony is just the manufactured discourse trailing in the wake of digital infrastructure projects. Yeah sure blahblah debate the semantics of ideology, the data centers are being built.
The only end of discourse is when the participants both come to an understanding that “politics” is not something “talked about”— it is the material process of constructing infrastructure— the “talking about” only has meaning in relation to the infrastructure being built.

This is the material origin of interest on debts. A debt in the form of a cow included the increase of the cow’s reproduction of cows. If you killed someone’s cow, you owed them the cow + the cows the cow would have sired.
Kurt is so based— “I’m glad I grew up in a doomsday cult.” — “You didn’t get to have birthday parties.” — “oh no! I didn’t partake in the consumer ritual of narcissism!”

Every year that goes by I think of being "cast out" of "the right" as a blessing. I have absolutely nothing to do with that entire shitshow. I am not a rat scurrying on a rapidly sinking ship. I am not Ahab, I am Ishmael.
It's really all about class-- as Haz said not too long ago-- the secret of "right wing infighting" is class-- just as the "secret of left wing infighting" is class.

What if I told you it always was a bank & it *invented* currency.
This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the Lord.

No I think the valorization of crime is key to anti-communism & we don’t live in a police state at all, it’s much worse. It’s just a corrupt criminal state. The police are all on the take, they are a part of organized crime. We celebrate criminals because criminals are free individualists.
The “patriotic” crime families supported America in WWII— because the communists were also a threat to them. The American Dream is becoming Jeffrey Epstein— in one generation you can blackmail royalty.

People have a tendency to assume that their own personal “special interest” is also, coincidentally, the key to understanding reality. The problem with this is that very few people are interested in international banking. More people are interested in Lord of the Rings.
Woah this guy who is a computer programmer explains that everything is a computer program.
Well check this out, this guy who studies “evolutionary psychology” has an explanation for why you can’t find a date.
Oh yeah? Well this guy who watches Lord of the Rings has thoughts on Ukraine.

I understand Wyndham Lewis's anti-pathos-- the aesthetic satisfaction with objectivity, with the complete renunciation of pretense-- to observe the world like an ant hill, letting words like "Honor" & "Justice" pass by like any other gaseous expulsion of the hominid. So many words, such fantasies spun by the daily ideological speech of the unconscious "individualists" -- "What this society lacks is Honor"-- but watch the speaker's hands, they're in his pockets, gripping his wallet. Just complex geometric shapes milling about pretentiously. "Honor" says the shark taking a bite out of the Whale-- Shark's have honor, which Whales lack, as is known to all Sharks. The human aquarium of it all. To become truly socratic-- I literally have no idea what Honor is, your honor. Could you define it for me? Is it honor when the shark bites the whale?
People just yap all day, saying nothing at all except "me me me me me, I am me, me is good, me me me, look at me, I am me, me is good" -- reduce it all to what it is, the cat meows all day "meow meow meow"-- the pretense of the cat, "meow meow HONOR meow meow." It's funny to see the cat's pretense to being the master of the house. The cat is trying to tell me what to do. You are trying to tell me what to do.

“Elite overproduction” is literally just the rightoid understanding of the deindustrialization of America & the rise in FIRE Sector unproductive employment— we have never had more doctors making more money than today. We have never had more “brand ambassadors.”
We have an elitism of superfluous labor— of unproductive labor— there have never been more “content creators” — there have never been more NGOs. The upper middle class are almost entirely superfluous to the real economy & live off recirculated rents. College professors have done nothing to advocate in the interests of students— they want higher wages & those wages come from student debt. Professors in other countries make less money. Surgeons in other countries make less money. America is the Paradise of the petty bourgeois.

Plato represents a Western attempt to recreate Eastern wisdom (all Greek Philosophy is the attempt to explain "Eastern Wisdom" to the world's first Individualistic Society). Plato fails to convince the Tyrants that they ought to be philosophers, like the Sages in Eastern Tyrannies.
All Western Philosophy is the attempt to "Reason with Sovereign Individuals" that they ought to act Wisely. But this is doomed to fail, every time, because Wisdom is not sovereign by individual volition or "convincing" or "persuasion"-- but by a way of being, a Tradition.

I think you can sum up the difference between West & East with the following-- in the West the question is "What is the best imaginable individual person & what are his thoughts & interests?" while in the East the question is "What is the best imaginable society & what are its laws?"
In the West, you begin with the superlative individual, the messiah, the "good fucking person"-- you are to philosophically construct the perfection of this individual, & then, you are meant to imitate this person. In the East, you begin with the superlative society, the Mandate of Heaven, & you are to practically, pragmatically, subordinate your individuality to that state.

Absolutely— if upper middle class people thought of having kids as being even competitive with “fulfilling career goal” there’d be no “fertility crisis”— as is there is more social renown & prestige for individualistic “achievement” than having kids.
This whole milieu only defaults to having kids when they intuit they’ve plateaued in their cultivation of social prestige— they consider having kids like placing an anchor “here we are, this is it forever now”

In America, if you're not retarded, they start to whisper to you "You know, you can just get away with crime, if the crime is big enough." You say, yeah, I know, what a fucked up country. & they whisper "You can be as fucked up as you want, too. Nobody is going to stop you. They will cheer."
The only thing holding you back is your conscience. How cucked is that? You want to "be a good person"? Are you retarded? There are no good people, there are only rich people & poor people. There are no good people. There are only predators & prey. Be Gay, Do Crime, Win.

I think the problem that undergirds the political problems in the West -- are neurological-- people are not that complicated & you can actually just stun lock them with hypernormal stimuli, drugs, pornography, disorienting psychedelic spectacle, & it works. Try organizing a bunch of schizophrenic drug addicts. Good luck.
If you want political progress in America, you have to attack the actual "religiosity" of Americans-- which isn't explicitly any specific "religious tradition"-- but instead the smorgasbord of "spiritualism" with its various premises that converge upon "Mind Over Matter."

It's really incredible how few people who saw Eddington, at least by the reviews I've read, understand what actually happened in the movie. It's a movie that reads you, ideologically, seeking to trigger the latent "Covid era" conditioning people have-- to move beyond it, to see the bigger picture...
Hermeneutically, people are just totally fucked in how they engage with "media literacy"-- they go "Is this movie *centrist* because it *criticizes both sides*?" -- not even realizing that no depicted character with a name in the story is actually sovereign over the events of the film. They somehow didn't understand that the whole point of the movie is SOLIDGOLDMAGIKARP.

Slave rebellions aren't generally successful. In fact, it was the Proletarians of the Industrial North who freed the slaves, not the slaves themselves. Something to consider. Jefferson opposed Slavery but also didn't unilaterally dissolve his own inheritance. I prefer Adams, generally, but when using our historical imaginations, it's a bit silly to judge people from standards that were being dialectically constructed in their time & long after. The progression of Right in History is not a tea party. All these Science Fiction Time Travel questions ("If you went back in time, would you lead the hecking slave revolt against White KKKracker Settler Thomas Jefferson?")-- mean less than nothing. "Reasoning" by means of science fiction time travel thought experiments is only evidence of being brainwashed.
It's not even discourse at this point-- it's literally LARPing. Do you think if John Adams was born in a southern genteel family and inherited slaves, that he'd have slaves? Makes you think. & imagine if there was never colonization, wow, what would that be like? & imagine if we never invented agriculture. Woah.

I think the 2010s have officially ended with Harland William’s podcast with MDE where Sam Hyde collapses into a shame black hole while Nick Rochefort has a panic attack induced dissociative episode. Worth the watch— you can see the 2010s end.
It’s not that “Wokeness is Over” it’s that the cultural project of “Anti-Wokeness” died a stillbirth with the Epstein files being suppressed. The future is “Post-Wokeness” Millennialism which was the 00s Bush era cultural norm. You can say retarded gay fag & also “eat the rich.”

The culture industry is the most important part of maintaining american hegemony which is why “the arts” are fundamentally meaningless in these conditions— valorization of superfluous labor is the guiding principle of American empire, losing faith in the transcendental value of tv shows & restaurants & video games is effectively “historical nihilism” for the maintenance of the american empire, its great threat— that someday people wake up and nothing is entertaining anymore. It felt close to realization during Covid lockdowns with the suspension of most superfluous labor overnight— but here we are now, James Gunn Superman, marvel universe 2 but with Superman now— running it back one more time— diminishing returns surely, but this is really it— so long as America can produce enough entertainment to saturate the discourse, a revolution is impossible, people will simply choose to dissociate further from reality until reality imposes a condition from which dissociation is impossible.
I was watching “The Bear” which has declined in quality substantially with each passing season becoming a parody of itself, nigh unwatchably pathetically enamored with its own “importance” which is reflected in “the importance” of restaurants— the restaurant in the Bear is just “superfluous labor” itself— it is supposed to “mean something transcendent” that “people can go to a restaurant to have a good time & dissociate from reality”— this is presented as an elite, brahmanic, priestly role in the American psyche— the chef— “the worker-artist” — the self-seriousness of it all comes off as desperation— “please take this seriously, please BELIEVE in this” — but once you stop believing in this, it’s like watching “Bibleman” on the evangelical broadcasting network. I just laugh.
