Schisms & Isms

Consider the following recent Tweet from President Trump, keeping in mind Scott Adams' description of people observing one of two movies from a single reality.
The Fake News is doing everything in their power to blame Republicans, Conservatives and me for the division and hatred that has been going on for so long in our Country. Actually, it is their Fake & Dishonest reporting which is causing problems far greater than they understand!
You read something like this and instinctively know it will drive the liberals bananas. It plays right into their screenplay. They are perfectly convinced that Trump is, in fact, a sower of hatred and discord, so to them this Tweet is a lie of epic magnitude. They are fully convinced that he is both a demagogue and, by extension, a liar. It's funny when you confront them on the subject and ask what hateful things he has said. The normal response is to stammer, and, after fumbling a bit, likely treat you with surprise, suspicion, and disdain. "Really, you think Trump isn't hateful?' For them, it is so obvious that facts need not actually be considered.

Something that I hadn't noticed before, but have in the past week or two, is how convinced they are that Trump effectively leads his followers into mass adoption of lies. Perhaps I wasn't missing that, and it's just the new narrative going around, but they really believe that he speaks, and we - his sheep - mindlessly obey. Which is quite an exercise in projection given that the bulk of those brainwashed zombies have never had a thought that deviated from their corporate and academic programming. To pretend that we take our marching orders from the man in charge is to totally ignore that gaping schism that was growing in the Republican parties for years. They have to ignore the Ron Paul revolutions of 2008 and 2012, which lead to some very divided and heated Republican caucuses, and was in many ways analogous to the Bernie Sanders sensation of 2016. They have to ignore the Tea Party - conservatives' open revolt against Republican leadership - which was so analogous to Occupy Wall Street that you had to wonder if they weren't two sides of the same movement. It's easy for them to ignore the right's schism - and pretend Trump didn't ride the wave of popular resentment, but rather cast magical spells - because they ignore the left's own schism between popular socialists and establishment crooks - healed recently by the unity granted by their shared hatred of Trump. And the right is now, as well, united by their shared hatred of the people who hate Trump.

The schisms that divided each party have met in the middle to form one super-schism. We used to bemoan that the corporate left and corporate right had far more in common with each other than the liberals or conservatives that comprised the remainder of their respective parties. That isn't so today. Today, the schisms stand between isms. Nationalism vs globalism. Capitalism vs socialism.

Many outlets have come to blame Trump for a recent shooting at a synagogue. How they maintain that movie plot in relation to Trump's actions shows just how tenuous their relation to reality need be. What president has been more pro-Israel or supportive of Jews? In history? Of any country? Can a president who's adored daughter is Jewish, who appoints an Orthodox Jew into his inner circle of top advisors, who never uttered a bad word about them, be called anti-Semitic as anything but an exercise in absurdism? Honestly, if you didn't know anything about Trump's own ethnicity, you might even believe he was himself a Jew. That seems to have been the opinion of the actual shooter, who said, to paraphrase, I didn't vote for Trump because he is effectively a Jew. 

There is another schism out there, between the far right wing and everyone else, and it's been created by the liberals who control nearly all of the media and social media outlets. One of the far right outlets is Gab, a Twitter alternative that is currently offline because the mobs were able to pressure their hosting provider to withdraw service following the shooting. Another is Voat, which is a Reddit alternative, and another is Bitchute, an alternative to YouTube. All of these venues are potently right wing, because they are largely occupied by people who have been evicted from social media for wrong-think, and their audiences. Many of us have been saying for quite some time that the online schism is very dangerous. The left want the schism because they think they can divide and conquer. The right wingers don't just give up that easily, they just find another venue to speak their minds. None of them want to be holed up in ideological ghettos. They want to be on mainstream platforms, posting dank memes and triggering wimpy liberal soy boys. The isolation has been imposed on conservatives by the liberals who own the corporate media.

Let's be clear, there is hate speech on all three of the mentioned alt-tech platforms. There is a lot of anti-Jewish sentiment. (Of course, by that usage, then Twitter and Facebook contain a far greater amount of hate speech directed at whites.) Of the three platforms, Voat is the worst. There is something of a celebrate free speech by saying awful things mentality over there. Gab, heavily under fire now, is probably the least annoying in that regard, because it's easy to mute the people making the most noise. On Voat, it's harder to avoid, and Bitchute if you insist on reading the comments. I actually run a small subverse on Voat related to the politicization of academia. I don't advertise it here on the blog, and certainly not on my personal social media, because I don't want to be associated with the "JQ". The Jewish Question is the belief that the Jewish elite are secretly conspiring to destroy western nations. The big problem with the conspiracy theory is that there is at least a grain of truth to it. Or appears to, at least. Whites are lectured endlessly about white privilege, yet not a word is ever spoken about Asians or Jews, who, by their own metrics, have even more white privilege than whites. But the corporate media, largely dominated by Jewish executives, never talk about it. If you want to fuel conspiracy theories, turn the lights off on public facts or straight-forward arguments. The irony is that by trying to alienate their opponents, the media just make the right more radicalized and grant them martyrdom sympathy. It's the usual solution. Engage in coercive, even heavy-handed tactics to create some better good in the world, and then watch as the thing only gets worse.

Following the release of the Podesta emails by Wikileaks, many noticed that often Podesta and his colleagues were speaking in some sort of code. Between the strange language, and more direct references to occult activities like spirit cooking, a narrative was created that not only were Democrat elites engaged in a pedophilia ring, but were also engaged in Satanic rituals that they used to seal political alliances. Does that theory sound dangerous to you? Well, it's not. It's a perfectly valid theory. It's undeniable they were engaged in occult rituals of some level. And high-level pedophile rings in government are not unprecedented. It was as good a theory to fit the facts as any I'd heard, and frankly still is. No, the dangerous aspect was that the media would not touch the story, but perhaps to ridicule it from a wide distance. And maybe that's fair, maybe it really is a hair-brained notion. But then, you know that if the same emails had leaked out of Trump's camp that they'd have run hog-wild over them, and we'd still be hearing almost daily, two years later, about how scary it is that the nearly elected a Satanic pedophile.

The dangerous aspect was that no one can trust the media to do its job fairly. Whether or not the theory was valid, the media would respond the same way: by ignoring and ridiculing. And the same seemed to go for the DOJ, as well. Because of that, the only real feedback to be had was from other social media users. A subreddit was formed, called Pizzagate, because pizza was believed to be their code word for a child victim, and -gate identified it as a government scandal. Reddit banned the sub, and they were forced to move to Voat, which saw one of its biggest single upticks in traffic. There, they worked nearly in isolation. Eventually, one man became so sure that there were children held captive in the basement of Comet Pizza that he showed up armed with a rifle to free them, and shot the place up. He almost immediately realized his mistake, and was very fortunate to not have injured anyone, and was given a four-year sentence. It was a major setback for the online right. If the pedophilia theory was valid, the gunman killed any public support for it, effectively letting Democrat criminals off the hook. And if it was invalid, the incident still made online right-wingers look crazy, and, undeniably they were acting crazy in their isolated bubble.

Now we have another violent criminal emerging who partook in right-wing alt-media. He was, apparently, a JQer. The problem with the JQ is that there is hardly a thing to distinguish them from SJWs, just swap white for Jew. All our problems can be blamed on the other. It's just scapegoating. And the thing is, even if it's true, what are you going to do, cry about it all day? When we consider the black grievances against whites, we can admit that, yes, blacks probably do witness racism, but the real problem is the collapse of family values where 70% of their kids are now raised in single-parent households, and 90% out of wedlock. The world is tough, but your problems are your own. For whites too. If their nations are so fragile that they can be destroyed by a scrappy 2% of the population, then we certainly have much more serious issues than the presence of a high-IQ tribe, inclined to cosmopolitanism, who undoubtably tend to act out of self-interest. We're talking about countries that can't decide if they should allow themselves to be invaded by mobs of foreigners.

There is one more right-wing bubble to look at, which is a 4Chan account that a lot of people believe is a government agent called Q who leaks them insider information. Not a lot of the people I follow buy into the Q thing. Anonymous Conservative does, who is smart but prone to paranoia. Blonde in the Belly of the Beast does as well. Now I'm having people in my personal life, "normies", if you will, asking me about Q. Q is a LARP. It's nonsense. What benefit would Trump gain by having someone quietly leaking out insider information in riddle format? I notice that Q's brilliance is also post-hoc. He doesn't give us any predictive power that is actionable. So what exactly is the point? Is this going to go on until the next guy shoots up a crowd because he believes Q? It's time we reigned all this in.

Trump is right. The enemy is the media. Not only do they radicalize the left, by telling lies, but they radicalize the right, by not covering the truth and pushing them into isolated bubbles. I don't like supporting the corporate media outlets, so I try to make use of the free-speech alternatives. Still, we must be careful not to become isolated and crazy, which is just what they want. And we're not going to be attractive to normies if our alternatives are so heavily engaged in griping about Jews and praising Qs. The mainstream media is failing- the corporate social media is not far behind - and they will likely see a big ratings crash once Trump is gone. We need to be in a solid position to win over the audience at a national level.
