The Mutation

 

My theory is that postmodernism and Marxism are a blended mass movement on the march in America, and that Democrats and liberals begin to believe this radical nonsense as true believers, and that is how the Left mutated, and was radicalized.

 

Here is another editorial, 8/24/25, from Alan Bauer, a columnist for townhall.com. I copied and pasted his article and will comment on it.

 

Bauer (B after this): “How Did the Left Mutate?

 

Alan Joseph Bauer | Aug 24, 2025

If one looks at traditional American voters, he concludes that those on the left have mutated their way to positions that have no basis in reality.”

My response: Their bizarre stances are not based in reality.

B: “A very disturbing incident has been recently reported. Rose Lubin was a 21-year-old Border Patrol officer in Israel. She was an American but knew that she was meant to move to Israel. She did so and actually fought Hamas during the original attack in 2023. Last year, she was stabbed during her patrol in the Old City of Jerusalem and died. My wife and I read about her and went to the mourning tent set up by the city in her honor. We heard from family and friends about an amazing young woman who knew what she wanted in life. She came to Israel alone but knew that she was meant to be here. Her death apparently was in part due to the failure of a colleague to alert others that he had gone to get food.

The incident in question concerns the Atlanta neighbors of Rose’s father. There are recordings of them screaming at him and saying that his daughter deserved to die. They additionally called him by Jewish slurs. How have we as an American society gotten to the point where people are happy to see the death of a fellow American? What did Rose do that would so enrage her neighbors that they would revel in her murder in front of her mourning father? When we look at a lot of the pathologies of those on the left, we have to ask how we got here. Let’s take some of the standard positions of a 2025 Democratic voter, as the party becomes unmoored and moves continually further to the left:”

 

My response: These anti-Semitic Leftists cannot leave a mourning father alone. Vicious, sick, rotten people.

B: “*Climate crisis means that life on this planet is in danger. They will block streets, glue themselves to priceless artworks, not bring children into the world, and try to destroy the energy underpinnings of modern society. There are many accomplished scientists who say that human production of carbon dioxide—which is a fraction of that produced by natural phenomenon—is no threat to mankind. They say that the stories of coastlines disappearing and a billion “climate refugees” are bunk and have no basis in honest scientific analysis.

*They have turned on Israel to the point that they are demanding the destruction of the Jewish state and the death of the millions of Jews who live there. They have been fed a steady Qatari/Muslim Brotherhood diet of Jews as colonialists and genociders when the realities of history and the current conflict support none of their contentions. The Gazan population has grown during the present conflict and Israel’s existence from Jewish purchase of land to defensive wars makes her little different than many other countries.”

My response: Haters cannot be separated from their lies, and the truth they repel easily.

*They see America as evil. While the United States has given them a standard of living never seen before by mankind, they blithely call the country of their birth racist. They claim that whites are to blame for the poverty and failures of minority communities. They do not see the U.S. as a force for good—at all. They don’t connect the amazing electronics, clothes, cars, and lifestyles they have with the unique aspects of American freedoms. They may think that such things are everywhere, but they are not and what there is is more expensive, more limited and oftentimes of inferior quality.

*They fantasize about socialism and communism. Because for many on the left, especially younger members of the group, life isn’t going so well: they are barely getting by, not making enough to own a home or live the lifestyle that their parents had—they somehow think that failed social-economic systems will give them a better outcome. One can see in NY where the commie mayoral candidate doesn’t even try to pretend that he is anything else. People always look for alternatives when life is overcast, but there is enough historical evidence on the failures of socialism and communism that their appeal should not exist.

*They have abandoned traditional religion for a pseudoscientific alternative. Covid was super dangerous, the mRNA vaccines were outstanding, people can change gender on a dime, etc. Their “scientific beliefs”—as with climate change above—do not stand up under serious scrutiny. But that is not the point. Like in all religions, theirs is belief, even if “reality” says otherwise. One can bring a thousand studies about vaccine damage and the possible link between the untested vaccines and long Covid or excess deaths. It’s like telling a devoutly religious person that there is no God.

How did we get here? Where did we get such large numbers of people whose opinions are so different from the rest and detached from objective reality”

My response: How did we get such large numbers of people whose opinions are so different from the rest and detached from objective reality? When the young go to college, and run in packs, they are broken and turned into social justice warriors, and political activists, serving as shock troops for cultural Marxism, and these ideologues can believe anything and do.

B: “ The answer is education. When one looks at political maps, the blue areas are few and far between—but they are usually big cities that can throw a state for a Democrat even if the entire rest of the state voted for the Republican. Big cities are filled with college-educated workers, as well as traditionally pro-Democratic minorities.  K-12 and certainly college and graduate education are exercises in brainwashing. One can see that much of the new left is both young and actually college trained. One often sees professors or “scholars” praising the mass rapes and murders of Hamas. If these are their teachers, why should we be surprised that the product students come out are leftwing lunatics? One sees far fewer pro-Hamas protests in the south and most of those wearing keffiyehs have abandoned whatever religion they had when they lived at home. Because religion has been downgraded in the West, Marxist teachings and the appearance of unapologetic Muslims in large numbers have simply offered the disaffected something to latch on to—even when that action involves cheering people who burned families alive.”

If one goes back through 250 years of American politics, there have always been differences in opinion and approach. Liberal politicians like George McGovern and Walter Mondale were crushed by Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. They were liberals in their approach to taxes, social programs and foreign policies and the people did not want what they had to offer. They were not leftists and certainly not communists. But the left has been transmogrified into something unrecognizable from its liberal roots. It is totalitarian, highly antisemitic and anti-American. The desire for reparations from people who never owned slaves to people who never were slaves is an expression of America as an evil, racist country. The U.S. is not perfect, but it’s the best country out there. If you think otherwise, try living someplace else for a spell. You’ll be waiting for your return flight home.”

My response: There is no heaven on earth, but America comes close and these fools want to overturn it.

B: “The Lubin family has gone through hell, though the husband screamer has now been fired from his executive position. They lost their beloved and talented daughter to Islamic terror. Now they meet American terror in the form of their demented neighbors. The Democrats are polling like dog poop because they have lost their minds. Go watch an anti-Israel protest and see if you can find a single American flag. Listen to a Bernie Sanders rally and find if there is any praise for a country in which he has three homes.  As Israel has Arabs in the Knesset who hate the country that pays their salaries, the U.S. now has federal, state and local reps paid by the governments of places they loathe. Keep the Democrats away from the lever of powers unless you want to live in a third-world country. 

Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its radical positions.” 

My response: Leftists are demented and sick.

 

No Gun Control

 

My niece, a strong Democrat, is reacting online (Facebook) to the school shooting by a trans-woman of children at a Catholic grade school in Minneapolis in 8/28/25.

 

With some light editing, here are my remarks which I posted to my niece: “

 

There is no middle ground on gun control. Governments always turn on the people, and tyranny ensues where the masses are disarmed. Part of our precious American heritage is the blessing the masses have here to keep and bear arms, a constitutional right.

 

The solution is to teach young children religious and moral self-control. But we live in a post-Christian era where the young have not spiritual and moral foundation, so social aberrations like mass shootings increase, as can be anticipated.

 

Ben Door of Minnesota Gun Rights offers a conservative Chritian solution to why these senseless killings are happening, if you want to Google his video.

 

3 years ago a trans-woman--used to be a guy--took a shine to me at a job we worked in South St. Paul. I am as conservative as they come, but I treated him with dignity and respect, because I treat people that way. She was hated by everyone, very flamboyant, very in-your-face outspoken. I do not pile on when a mob of workers go after someone. She told me that she transitioned about 10 to 15 years ago in her late 40s. She confessed that she was no happier today than before when she transitioned, but that her therapist had talked her into the transition. She kept repeating: "My therapist thought it was a good idea. My therapist thought it was a good idea."

 

Jordan Peterson is goofy on a lot of points, but he is right that we must live with our burdens and suffering, and vow never to take it out on others, or ourselves. We must create, love, and bring beauty and moral goodness to society, and that is how we transmute our anger, our frustration, our hurt, rather than allowing to fester until one gets a gun and blasts innocent little kids.

 

 Liberty is the most important virtue in the world, and we all need to be armed to the teeth to let government at all levels know, we are in charge, and they had better not try to set up tyranny here; we will not allow elites to enslave us. That is why the Founders wanted us armed, and that is why Leftist elites take advantage of such tragedies to rile up the people to confiscate guns--it is their ruse to grab power and legislate gun confiscation. We must not allow them more illicit power-grabbing which happens as they restrict gun rights. These are evil people doing evil things, and we must disallow their attack on gun rights.

 

Ecoterrorists

 

When ecoterroristic, environmentalist wackos aim to outlaw dogs, these haters of off things human and animal must be met with a firm no, and firm “Hell No!”.

 

Here is an 8/22/25 online editorial from townhall.com. It is written by Guy Benson, a Fox New journalist.

 

I copied and pasted his editorial and will comment on it.

 

Benson (B after this): “Stay the Hell Away From Our Dogs, Radical Environmentalists

 

Guy Benson | August 22, 2025 12:01 PM

Film critic Sonny Bunch observed years ago that radical environmentalists make excellent movie villains.  They are fanatically ideological, they prize notions of green "justice" over the wellbeing, comfort, happiness, and even lives of human beings.  And they are gallingly and insufferably self-righteous in their extremism.  What's not to loathe?”

My response: It can add nothing to Benson’s eloquent denunciation of the radical terrorists. Fanatics are evil people and totalitarian control of the masses is always their solution. Hell no.

 B: “Beyond the fictions of the silver screen, it really does seem as though this category of real world ghouls and grinches go out of their way to alienate normal people as aggressively and obnoxiously as possible.  Think about their pointless and performative "protests" that hurl food products at priceless pieces of art, or interrupt theater performances, or block traffic.  The latter tactic is particularly grating and dangerous because it can keep people away from their jobs, their children, and even from needed medical attention.  But the true-life villains don't care.  They have tunnel vision, and they cannot be budged.  They actively undermine their own cause in the process, but they also don't seem to care about that.  It's a nihilistic movement, much like the "pro-Palestine" cause (there is, of course, large overlap within that dirtbag coalition).  

Of all the off-putting stunts they pull, and lectures they deliver, I'm not sure any could match the self-destructiveness of telling human beings that they shouldn't have dogs as pets -- "for the planet," of course.  I cannot imagine a faster way to get a wider array of people to extend double middle fingers than to come after Man's Best Friend, but that's what they're doing.  Never change, enviros.  You're doing great, sweeties.  Also, stay the hell away from our dogs, you monsters:

It turns out many Americans aren't great at identifying which personal decisions contribute most to climate change. A study recently published by the National Academy of Sciences found that when asked to rank actions, such as swapping a car that uses gasoline for an electric one, carpooling or reducing food waste, participants weren’t very accurate when assessing how much those actions contributed to climate change, which is caused mostly by the release of greenhouse gases that happen when fuels like gasoline, oil and coal are burned. The top three individual actions that help the climate, including avoiding plane flights, choosing not to get a dog and using renewable electricity, were also the three that participants underestimated the most. Meanwhile, the lowest-impact actions were changing to more efficient appliances and swapping out light bulbs, recycling, and using less energy on washing clothes.

Spoiler Alert: I will be implementing none of these piece of advice, regardless of "high" or "low" impact.  I will not reduce my air travel one bit.  I will only use renewable energy if it benefits me and is convenient for me.  And I absolutely will not give up the wonderful joys of dogs.  Their unconditional love and happiness quotient is infinitely more important to me than some finger-wagging leftist trying to make me feel bad (and inevitably wanting to confiscate my money for their political projects).  It's not just the socialism and communism that bother me greatly and make me want to fight their agenda at every turn; it's this sort of targeted attack on human thriving and the pleasures of life.  Back all the way off.  Also, I wonder what the sanctimonious sermonizers would have to say about a major finding on sea ice, as reported in the left-wing Guardian and relayed here this week by Matt?

The melting of sea ice in the Arctic has slowed dramatically in the past 20 years, scientists have reported, with no statistically significant decline in its extent since 2005.  The finding is surprising, the researchers say, given that carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning have continued to rise and trap ever more heat over that time.  They said natural variations in ocean currents that limit ice melting had probably balanced out the continuing rise in global temperatures. 

"Natural variations," you say?  Interesting.  The same experts who say they're surprised by this multi-decade trend insist that it's just a "temporary reprieve" for Mother Earth, and that's going to get even worse sometime soon.  Maybe they're right.  Maybe they're once again wrong.  Why should they be believed, especially as they bully and punish anyone in their ranks who dares to offer a dissenting scientific opinion or view, while engaging in unethical machinations to hide how wrong they've been on key points for years?  They've earned broad dismissals from billions of people around the world.  Whatever else they may say or do to try to regain relevance, they'd better keep their grubby, ideological hands off our our dogs.”

 

My response: Give these ultraists no power, for a Reign of Terror must ensue.

The Real Truth

 

Tonight, 8/26/25, I saw a meme on the Internet which I will quote and which I found powerful and worth worrying about.

 

This message was from the Haus of God: I will copy it out and then comment on it. Here it is:

 

Haus: “One is popular. The other is biblical. Choose wisely.”

 

My response: The author is warning the reader that modern day, cafeteria Christians, may have watered down how exacting biblical Jesus is versus the popular Jesus, watered down by cafeteria Christians who may burn in hell for their willful blindness and choosing to ignore biblical Jesus, and refusing to take him seriously, so let us look together at what is claimed about the biblical Jesus versus popular Jesus.

 

Haus: “

 

 

Modern Jesus                                                             Biblical Jesus

 

Preaches only on love                                                 Preaches God’s righteousness

Gives you health and wealth                                      Gives salvation, hope, peace and joy

Never says anything negative                                     Warns of sin, judgement and hell

Love and accepted by the world                                Hated and despised by the world

Serves your will, not God’s will                                   Exalts God the Father’s will

Hates to offend you or others                                    Offends the world with the truth

 

.”

 

My response: Modern Jesus preaches about love, but other things too. Jesus may give you health and wealth—or not. Jesus loves and speaks the truth, saying what it is, be it negative or positive in conflicting with or reinforcing your worldly reputation.

 

Jesus was murdered by humans, crucified on the cross, so He definitely was not loved nor accepted by the world.

 

Jesus serves not human will, but the will of His Father in heaven.

 

It is not that Jesus hates to offend us, or that He seeks to offend us; rather we might take offense and perhaps should since our feelings are hurt or we may have been socially embarrassed by His stinging criticisms, mentioned by Him about us out of loving concern, and a love of liberating truth, not lying to us to avoid hurting our feelings.

 

 

My response: Jesus preaches God righteousness, and His love of administered justice and our need for tough love, in order that we may repent and heal.

 

Jesus offers us salvation.

 

Jesus warns us of sin, judgement, and hell, that we may not burn.

 

The world rejected Jesus and still does. Side with Jesus and not the world.

 

Jesus serves His Father’s will, and we would be well advised to serve the will of the Father and the Mother first and foremost.

 

Jesus does offend the world by speaking truth, and that is as it should be. Only the truth will set us free.

 

 

 

Humans & Their Hierarchies

 

Anybody that has read me for awhile knows I do not believe that human nature is basically good, that, instead, it is basically more bad than good, and we must adopt egoist morality and unnaturally will ourselves to behave, and with God’s help, we can become holy and virtuous individuals of good will, if not perfectly good, an impossible, hopeless goal, neither achievable or demanded of us by God, loving and understanding, none better able to detect human errancy and fallibility.

 

We are social creatures who live in hierarchies, run by elites operating under a corrupt and corrupting version of the Pareto Principle.

 

Also, to be basically evil is to be addicted to gather more money and power to oneself than one has earned, requires or is good for one.

 

All that serve in elites, either sooner or later, fall prey to their lust for disproportionate and ill-gained centralized power, and they seek to centralize ever more power, money at privilege to themselves by robbing, raiding, and depriving the long-suffering masses of their personal, precious liberty, property, and legitimate private power to individuate, should they elect to maverize as God requires.

 

No human is exempt from being sooner or later damaged and stained as a person of elite rank and position, once empowered in, and operating as part of the ruling institutional hierarchy. All will be sickened and addicted to centralized power, should they wield it and are enriched by accumulating it.

 

These corrupted, hooked elitists can only gain power and money by getting it illegitimately from those they rule, and to get the fix their need to quench their thirst for power, they are willing to abuse and rip off those whom they have power over.

 

It is the moral duty of the masses to organize to resist and curb power abuse and power-centralizing schemes and raids conducted upon them by the ruling elites.

 

Humans naturally are lazy, eager credulously to believe those in positions of power. Humans naturally prefer and enjoy masochistically being abused and deprived of power, wealth and equality of opportunity. The masses enjoy or meekly endure and tolerate being lied to, exploited, and enslaved by elites, whom the masses permit to do their thinking and deciding for them.

 

Whatever the diverse hierarchy, it is pretty much the same everywhere. Be that hierarchy collegiate, ecclesiastical, a union, a bank, a factory, the Army, or Bloomington City Hall, elites rule the roost, and the masses pay the price.

 

Those in power are corrupted by the excessive, undeserved power they wield. They crave more and more of the drug of centralized power, craving ravenously the one thing that is most harmful to them, and to the populace constantly under attack.

 

They desire ever more control over the masses so they, the elite, can dominate, enslave, tyrannize, exploit, inflict pain upon, and extract maximum work and benefit with minimum reward from the masses in their varying institutional roles as workers, voters, consumers, citizens, and neighbors.

 

Elites running hierarchies lie to themselves about their misbehavior and mistreatment of the masses suffering under them. It is easier for elites to crush and smear dissenters and gadflies like me than to mend their ways.

 

Elites hold down the rank and file.

 

As the masses in America at work abused, exploited, tyrannized, and hurt, it is mostly and ultimately the fault of the masses for allowing elites to mistreat them, without taking up arms in open rebellion. Armed populist uprising on the part of the masses might be required to replace elite oppressor with populist, constitutional republican rule.

 

If the masses were each of them individuating supercitizens, united in solidarity--ironically, solidarity is only possible among egoists--their clear focus, their solid, utter unity in solidarity, and their fierce courage to set things right, then no elite could long overcome them.

 

May there be justice and institutional democracy in every American institution.

 

We naturally hate ourselves. We naturally are selfless, so we hate ourselves, lacking self-esteem. Because we hate ourselves, we are filled with evil, rage, resentment, ingratitude, power-lust, the urge to smash and destroy, to feel victimized to justify taking revenge upon, and victimizing others.

 

We group-live, group-identify, practice group-ethics (altruism-collectivism); the rule of thumb is the bigger, more colossal, more omni-present is the hierarchy, its elite’s tentacles invading every aspect of society, the more totalitarian and human rights violating is the hierarchy, the more tyrannized and enslaved are the masses, and the more group-oriented, corrupt, selfless, unhappy and collectivist, they become.

 

There is a link, perhaps not completely knowable, completely definable, between certain concepts: anarchism, liberty, individualism, self-esteem, rationalism, egoism and capitalism.

 

Where these terms are linked together, there hierarchies still exist, but they are decentralized, strong, but lean, flattened out, allowing maximum individualism, freedom enjoyment, self-controlling, self-determining, decentralized power patterns, with each individual as individuators wielding maximum personal power of powerfulness.

Schlicter's Take On The Democrats

 

 

This editorial below was posted today, 8/8/5 by Kurt Schlicter in townhall.com. I copied and pasted the article and will comment on it. I slightly edited it. Here it is:

 

Kurt (K after this): “

 

 

What Is The Democrats’ Endgame?

By Kurt Schlichter

Americans are more divided than we have been since the first time the Democrats started and lost a civil war, with every norm being tossed out and every legitimate exercise of lawfully attained power by us normals being shamelessly obstructed. The left rejects the idea that patriotic Americans have any moral right to participate in their own governance, to pursue their own interests, or to assert their own rights. To them, we are nothing but thralls, tax-generating slaves who must feed them, fuel them, fight for them, and obey their commands while meekly accepting their calumny.”

 

My response: Kurt and I think alike, really alike, and I believe he is accurate most of the time. The Democrats did start a cultural and political civil war with their cultural Marxist ideology, a totalitarian mass movement whose proponents seek revolution and tyranny for all Americans forever. They are sick, vicious, evil people, at least in their political ambitions.

Anything decent, normal, lawful, and just in the American Way is what they seek to smash and supplant, but they lost this civil war.

We need the masses to be free and run their own lives with strong, but small federal and state government undergirding them.

We need to grow a generation of individuating supercitizens, to yell back at the Leftist ruling class that they can go to hell, that we denounce their labels and values which they seek to smear us with, and that we will not obey or empower their calumny and anti-Americanism.

 

K: “They are delusional. Things aren’t going to work out that way.”

 

My response: They are delusional.

 

K: “But things are going to work out some way, and you have to wonder what their endgame is. After all, the Democratic Party, which is entirely indistinguishable from the left, refuses to accept the legitimacy of Donald Trump or any of us and is doing everything it can to prevent us from exercising any self-governance. That specifically and notably includes enforcing laws that were passed through the proverbial Schoolhouse Rock “I’m Just a Bill” process. It’s not much of a democracy if democratically enacted laws are not enforced. We have very clear laws on illegal immigration, yet they’re doing everything they can, formally and informally, to prevent us from enforcing them to get rid of the millions of invaders they allowed into the country without our permission.”

 

My response: Their endgame is postmodernist Marxism police state here, a larger Venezuela. The people elected Donald Trump, and the people want laws passed, but the Left obstructs and urges active civil disobedience, not allow the laws to be enforced.

Yes, the Democratic Party is indistinguishable from the Left.

 

K: “We have very clear laws on racial discrimination, yet they’re doing everything they can, formally and informally, to prevent us from enforcing them, particularly when they might benefit people of pallor. We have very clear laws on crime, yet they’re doing everything they can, formally and informally, to prevent us from enforcing them to make our cities safe, like in Washington DC, where they’re perfectly happy to sacrifice hundreds of black lives, and a few white ones, to make sure Trump doesn’t score a victory by making that urban cesspool habitable again."

 

My response: They want anarchy, lawlessness, and disorder as precursors to a panicked public clamoring for martial law, so that the ruling elite can usher in their dictatorship of the proletariat.

 

K: “Our government is gridlocked. We no longer even try to pass laws, thanks to the filibuster. You need 60 senators, and we only have about 51, 53 if you count Murkowski and McConnell, and there’s no real reason to do that. The only action coming out of Congress is the rare reconciliation bill, along with some investigations. Most of what’s happening is executive orders and a re-ordering of government priorities at the hands of Donald Trump. That’s important, and that’s something, but this all has the feeling of a jury-rigged contraption that’s barely held together with duct tape and spit rather than the kind of functional, balanced government the Founders envisioned.”

 

My response: My sense of it is the Democrats must come back to the middle or the people will just vote them out of office as irrelevant and to radical. We do need to restore a kind of balanced, functional government, and I hope and believe we can get there.

 

K: “What can’t go on won’t go on, and this can’t go on. You can’t have half of America denying that the other half of America has any kind of moral right to participate in Our Democracy, and believing that the other side is so morally flawed, so obviously literally fascist in its love of attractive women, blue jeans, law and order, and not being discriminated against because its ancestors came from Europe, that to even consider their interests or rights is to embrace Hitler.””

 

My response: These rigid, foolish Leftists stances cannot last; the public will grow tired of it and abandon them.

 

K: “The critical question is what the Dems think is going to happen. As noted, this is not going to remain the status quo forever. This is unsustainable. But do they believe that, if they hold their breath long enough, until their faces turn as blue as the Democrat enclaves on the election maps, we will just give up, and then they win?

Will we just give up, shrug our shoulders, and decide to allow them to do whatever the hell they want? OK, here you go, here’s our hard-earned money to give to your deadbeat constituents and to launder to communist NGOs and your billionaire donors. Here you go, here are all our guns. We know how much you hate us having those. We’re not worried about what inevitably happens to people who disarm themselves. And we’ll just shut up now and not exercise free speech by pointing out how corrupt, stupid, venal, and ridiculous you and your ilk are.”

 

My response: Kurt is being sarcastic here, the public and conservatives will not give up their guns, their free speech, their free markets, their affluence, and liberty.

 

K: “England can show us the way – if somebody hops on X (assuming it still operates after Elon Musk gets arrested for whatever made-up crime they make up) and points out that a dude with a penis can never be a woman, here comes the SWAT team! And we’ll just let you guys gerrymander your hearts out in the blue states, but we will make sure that every Jasmine Crockett-like borderline clinical moron in some bluish part of a red state gets a safe district. And we will stop expecting to have a say in everything, because of course, we’re not qualified to have a say in anything. We’re not qualified to raise our own kids.

We’re not qualified to decide what injections we get. We’re not qualified to opine on weather policy, so take out cars, trucks and steaks. We’re certainly not qualified to decide whether or not we want tens of millions of Third World peasants invading our country and turning it into the kind of hellhole they fled from. So, yeah, you’re good. You pinkos take over and handle things. We’ll be here, ready to take your abuse, take the blame for anything that ever goes wrong, and obey all your commands.

But if you believe that, you’re gobbling more of your SSRIs and washing them down with more oaky Chardonnay than usual."

 

My response: I love his sarcasm. Here come the reality check, Democrats and Leftists—are you listening?

 

K: “Surrender is not going to happen. We’re just not going to give up on this whole citizenship and freedom thing because you’re big mad that we demand respect and a say. Now, the left may have some hope that, once Trump goes away, the Republicans are devolve back to the old days of gentlemanly managing the decline as the ratchet of leftist advances keeps clicking forward, never to be pushed back again.

But that isn’t going to happen. The crusty, impotent Republican Party is dead. It’s been killed in a murder/suicide in the sense that it killed itself while its opponents were killing it. That feeble, feminine Republican Party is gone, and it’s not coming back. So, the question is, “What are the Democrats going to do?” If history’s any judge, and it’s the best judge there is, they’re going to turn harder to the left. They did after Hubert Humphrey lost in ’68, and they did after Jimmy Carter lost in ’80. Their answer to a relative moderate losing is always to go harder left and get their butts punted through the goal posts of electoral history. They will certainly try that again in 2028 and likely lose.”

 

My response: America will not surrender its country in mass suicide, capitulating to Leftists who hate America. They likely will even go harder Left.

 

K: “But their loss isn’t guaranteed. They could win. As we’ve seen, starting with Trump in 2016, anyone on a major ticket can win the presidency. And if they do, they’re going to do everything they possibly can to make sure they never lose power again. We’ve seen that the rules don’t matter. We’ve seen that the norms don’t matter. We’ve seen that the Constitution doesn’t matter. They, like the rest of the Western world’s ruling class, will abandon the mechanics of democracy, even as they claim to be protecting Our Democracy, in order to solidify their grip on power. And that’s very, very dangerous.”

 

My response: Their loss is not guaranteed; they could win. When not if they get back in, they will, if they can, make sure they are never out of power again. There are without morals or compassion; amassing total, permanent, absolute power accumulated so they can ruthlessly dominate American forever: that is their core value, their only value. They are very dangerous and they can sway the masses.

 

K: “That’s dangerous because we’re not going to ever be serfs. Our opponents on the left are evil, corrupt, and stupid, a flock of dumb people who think they’re smart but know nothing of history or human nature. They will push and push and push, not understanding that when you push somebody, he pushes back, mostly because they grew up in feminized schools where you don’t hit back. But we hit back. We’re not them. We’re not just going to take it if they dish it out.

I write about this in my new novel, American Apocalypse: The Second American Civil War, out now. In it, through bad luck and assassinations – don’t put it past them giving it another good old college try – the left takes power and promptly decides it’s never giving it up again. And then things explode, and it’s very, very bad. We want to avoid that, but we want to avoid being enslaved even more. Better to die on a pile of brass than on your knees, piteously begging some blue-haired commissar for mercy.”

But the question remains: how does America get out of this? It’s not for us, the patriots, to get out of. We have a right to pursue our interests through the use of lawfully won political power; we did not waive our right to do so just because we elected generations of Republicans who refused to do so. No, this is a time for reflection by the Democrats. They need to figure out what they’re going to do. If they keep going to the left, even as they demonize the other half of America, it’s going to end badly for everyone, but even worse for them. That’s not a threat. That’s reality.”

 

My response: Kurt is realistic; if Democrats and Leftists keeping going Left, and they likely will, then either they succeed at setting up their Marxist dictatorship, or our second Civil War will ensue, a real possibility; I do not want to take up arms, but we cannot have tyranny installed here.

 

K: “After the disaster that was leftist George McGovern, the Democrats found a winner in a relative moderate, Jimmy Carter. After losing with leftists Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis, they found a winner in another relative moderate, Bill Clinton. They could do that again in 2032, after JD Vance wipes them out in 2028, but there’s a difference this time. This isn’t just politics for them. This is a pagan religion. They don’t think that we’re merely dumb. They think that we’re evil, and that our evil heresy of not being afraid of the weather, loving America, and having normal gender identities makes us the Huguenots, and they’re the French. But we won’t be massacred so easily.

As Bismarck once observed, “There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children, and the United States of America.” Hopefully, we will find a way through this impasse, but make no mistake about the danger. Right now, half of America considers the rights and participation in our government and society of the other half of America to be absolutely illegitimate. That is unsustainable. They need to get it through their heads. We are not going to be ruled by them. We are not going to be second-class citizens. We are not going to be serfs.

The Democrats better figure out their endgame, because it isn’t going to end with us giving up and forfeiting the game.”

 

My response: Either the Left pulls back from the brink, or civil war could break out.

Moral Courage Requires Acting

 

Schlicter below makes a great point: one’s values are irrelevant and one’s decency is blunted unless one acts upon one’s convictions, especially when it is inconvenient, even dangerous to do so.

 

I copied and pasted Schlicter’s Townhall.com editorial posted online on 8/11/25, and I will comment on it where necessary.

 

 

Schlicter (S after this): The Awesome Power of Just Doing Things

The feminized, Ken-doll-abdomened West is getting a hard lesson in the amazing properties of Just Doing Things. 

Somehow, we went from iron-hearted, iron-encased knights crushing pagan skulls with maces and became a civilization that prizes posing and proclaiming our virtue instead of pummeling our opponents into submission.”

 

My response: Schlicter has a point: men of will, conviction and grit, act upon their values and change the world when heroic. 

S: “Being passive pushovers was presented not as what it is – a womanly style of dealing adopted by men who were too scared of conflict to engage in it – but as a moral imperative. 

We let criminals and mutants at home dominate our society based on the bizarre notion that their very real perfidy was a result of our fake perfidy.”

 

My response: The postmodernist Marxist ideologues attacking America are the evildoers, but they accuse moral Americans of being evil and damaged, and many  have come to adopt that false point of view. 

Third World barbarians push us around overseas and invade our lands, bringing the pathologies that made their homelands hellholes into our lands and thereby commencing the transformation of our nations into hellholes. Keep on this path and the West dies. This does not have to be. 

We can say, “No.” No to conforming our lives to the whims of weirdos, losers, and mutations. No to living in fear of criminals. No to subsidizing our brutalization and replacement by ungrateful and malicious foreigners who want us enslaved or dead and who are imported by factions of our own society to buttress their grip on power. Hopefully, the rest of the West will take notes and frack its untapped reserves of testosterone before it is too late. 

Donald Trump understands how to say “No.” He refuses to play along with a set of norms and guardrails that only we are supposed to observe and whose sole purpose is to prevent us from exercising our power to reject the decline our alleged betters have decreed we deserve. Remember, they can’t make us do anything. They have no guns and no upper body strength. 

When in power, they have cops and soldiers, but not enough of them will remain loyal long enough to impose anything on us if it gets real (as described in my new novel, American Apocalypse: The Second American Civil War, out now!). 

To win, they must make us choose to lose. Hence, their obsession with making us choose not to Just Do Things. As important as recognizing the power of “No” is how Trump understands the value of Just Doing Things. 

He feels it in his gut, a consequence of coming of age in the dog-eat-dog world of New York City commercial real estate as opposed to the Ivory Towers where mere words are the preferred alternative to vulgar action.”

My response: Trump has great instincts, and courage, he will and acts on his hunches. 

S: “He won the power to Just Do Things via an election; not surprisingly, the Ruling Class that demands strict adherence to the alleged norms of Our Democracy for its own benefit utterly ignores them in the case of Trump, doing everything it can to undermine his ability to govern, and thereby silence and disenfranchise the voters who put 47 in office. 

The norms are not “the norms.” The norms are simply transitory rules that apply only to limit our ability to act; they never apply to the people purporting to impose them. 

It’s Calvinball all the way down. By observing the norms they foist upon us, we give up the ability to Just Do Things. And that is how they keep power. 

What terrorizes our elite is that Trump and his supporters see through the okey-doke. We’re hip to the scam. And Trump is acting accordingly, by acting. 

He is Just Doing Things. He shut the border. We were told that you can’t do that; the best you could get was to join the GOP castrato chorus in enacting the “bipartisan immigration compromise” pushed by the pompous and ridiculous sap Jimmy “Sooner State Voters Can’t Primary This Dork Soon Enough” Lankford. 

Among other things, this Vichy-like surrender bill would have banned stay in Mexico, transferred all immigration litigation to the totally- unbiased D.C. courts, and allowed 5,000 invaders in per day before anything could be done – and even then, a Dem president could choose not to act. 

Trump doesn’t play that. He closed the border. He Just Did It. Then he started tossing out illegals caught inside the interior. Suddenly, we were flooded by hitherto unknown exceptions to the immigration laws passed under Our Democracy – it’s not much of a democracy if the ruling class ignores the law, is it? The compliant and complicit regime media obediently broadcast the true horror of Trump’s willful violation of such longstanding norms and principles as not arresting illegals if they are grandpas, if they are walking dogs, if they have a cousin in the Marines, or if they have successfully scoffed at our laws for 20 years and obtained American squatter’s rights. 

Trump Just Did It. Trump leveraged American economic power with his tariffs. 

There was a crescendo of howling internationally and here in America, including by many on the right who insisted on seeing tariffs as a purely academic exercise in economics utterly divorced from their national security, social, and diplomatic contexts. Under Trump, tariffs were not merely a crude economic lever but a way to address the disastrous deindustrialization of America, with all the attendant society costs from the impoverishment of the middle class to the tens of thousands of lost souls who fell victim to fentanyl. 

Moreover, tariffs provided both a club to force other countries to trade on fair terms – the tariff imbroglio revealed just how utterly abused America was by unfair trade agreements – as well as to recoup some of our massive outlays for maintaining freedom of the seas and world peace in general. He Just Did It. 

He banned DEI as well as addressed what had been the Issues That Shall Not Be Named – institutional anti-white racism and anti-Semitism. 

He is forcing academia to change into something that serves America instead of undermining it as it feeds off our tax dollars. He banned mentally ill and/or perverted men from girls’ locker rooms and banned the mutilation of children by their evil parents as sacrifices to Trans-Baal, the pagan god of perversion. 

He cauterized the open wound that was the Iranian nuclear scheme in a night. He ignored the climate change hoax and set us to drilling, baby, drill. 

When some leftover Biden flunky had to issue her umpteenth correction to her own labor statistics, he canned her. 

There’s a run on banker’s boxes as Deep State bureaucrats from the State Department to the FBI had to clean out their offices.

 He strangled the left by derailing the USAID, NPR, and other federal subsidy gravy trains. He made the Euros pay their fair share of NATO. 

He is investigating the loathsome Letitia James for investigating him, among other things. 

He is investigating the Russiagate conspiracy, and I bet we see some indictments coming down the road (Sorry, not Obama, though, for a variety of reasons, including immunity and statute of limitations). 

Trump Just Did It and made all these things happen. He was told these things were undoable. 

We were told these things were undoable. In fact, they were not just undoable. 

They were evil and bad and wrong and totally outside the norms. He Just Did It all anyway.”

My response: What Trump is doing helps and is most impressive. 

The rest of the West is behind. Once-Great Britain has failed to do what it had to do to save itself; now, as the butcher’s bill is coming due in the form of smoldering anger over sponging foreigners and their taste for molesting little English girls, the spooked ruling class has bulldozed the norms of free speech, freedom of the press, and free assembly. It is seeking to choke off the ability to protest; this will work until someone rises who will Just Do It and do what is necessary to pry the desiccated and desperate elite out of power. 

In Israel, they have finally recognized that their choices are to be hated by international garbage leftists and lose the war against Hamas, or be hated by international garbage leftists and win the war against Hamas. They are finally doing what they should have done on October 8th and fighting to finish their enemy. If they had, they would have established the proverbial facts of the ground that make complaints and hand-wringing irrelevant. If you Just Do It, it’s done. 

The enemy is defeated, and victory has a morality all its own. We will not be in power forever, so the Just Do Things principle applies with urgency. If we shut the border and deport (voluntarily or otherwise) millions of illegals, that establishes new favorable facts on the ground. 

If we gerrymander to match the Democrats – notice how they never tell us what the gerrymander rule is, only that we are violating it without reference to their blue state gerrymanders? – then we will have done it and reap the benefits. 

On an individual level, if you buy guns and ammunition – and you should buy guns and ammunition – you establish facts on the ground that make it exponentially more difficult to disarm you should some future regime come to power that ignores the Second Amendment (the Founders made guns #2 after free speech and freedom of religion for a reason). 

Establish favorable facts on the ground and put W’s on the scoreboard by unleashing the power that comes when you Just Do It.

Winning means you win, and there’s no benefit to losing like gentlemen. If we concede anything to the left, if we give in, does that make us Not Literally Hitler, Not Systemically Racist, Not Bad People? No. 

They are always going to hate us. Better they hate us for defeating them rather than hate us for being so weak that we choose to lose to them. We have the power. Just Do Things.” 

My response: Just do what is right.
