A reader asks me why I've not been laying into the lefties much lately. They've been particularly unhinged, and it seems like a target-rich environment.
To start, I've not come up with much commentary that would be helpful to the reader, or interesting to the writer. I try to focus on providing something novel, or at least in sharing other ideas that receive too little attention. Left-wing lunacy is practically mainstream these days. Turn on any Fox News or talk radio show and you'll hear all the ways the Green New Deal is utter lunacy. What could I add? Even mainstream "safe" conservatives like Ben Shapiro are calling liberalism a secular religion. Many moderate liberal commentators - at least the few not perpetually obsessed with Trump - spend more time attacking leftist radicals than Republicans. Everyone knows they're nuts. Similarly, I don't spend much time on FISAgate any more - the greatest political scandal of my lifetime - because Sundance, Dan Bongino, and Sara Carter already do such a great job covering it.
Another factor is that Republican treachery is of greater concern than whatever the radicals are up to. We already know the left won't be reasoned with. They hate us and pursue only the policies intended to punish us. Unreasonableness is their virtue. It's when the right falls short that we're really in trouble. I don't currently see how any of the declared candidates beat Trump in 2020. I think he gets re-elected. Thus, I'm less concerned with what the Democrats are saying than with the Trump administration's recent flirtations with the Cult's values.
A final aspect, which is something the reader might not like to hear, is that I don't disagree with everything the left is doing. As already stated on this blog, Fauxahontas did nothing wrong. Abusing affirmative racism for personal gain is exactly what white people should be doing. The only reason the policy survives is that whites dutifully comply with the rules intended to harm them. I applaud her, and I hope she gains the Democrat nomination. Think of the last election, where the media went on for weeks because David Duke expressed preference for Trump over Clinton, forcing him to constantly disavow. If Warren wins, Duke is likely to prefer her over the very Zionist-friendly Trump administration. It will be hysterical, so long as conservative pundits properly force the issue.
I'm not actually opposed to the Green New Deal. I think it's great! Here's my favorite take from the FAQ.
How will you pay for it?
The same way we paid for the New Deal, the 2008 bank bailout and extended quantitative easing programs. The same way we paid for World War II and all our current wars. The Federal Reserve can extend credit to power these projects and investments and new public banks can be created to extend credit. There is also space for the government to take an equity stake in projects to get a return on investment. At the end of the day, this is an investment in our economy that should grow our wealth as a nation, so the question isn’t how will we pay for it, but what will we do with our new shared prosperity.
She wants to saddle the federal government with an additional $90 trillion in debt! That's far greater accelerationism than even the most hardcore reactionary would ever propose. We're looking at a leviathon that collapses in years rather than decades. And I might see some benefit. I've been wanting to update my windows and home insulation. If she wants the federal government to provide those before it collapses under the weight of its own insanity, all the better.
Finally, there has been a big backlash against Democrats for voting against a late-term abortion ban, with Trump piling on as well. The whole thing amounts to a political stunt. They knew they didn't have the votes. The Republicans are very good at taking a firm stand when they know they can't win. They can send multiple Obamacare-killing bills to Obama, but none to Trump. No, they'd rather lose so that they aren't held accountable for the state of the country, but can go home and sell their righteous indignation to their electorates. In this case I still have to disagree with what they were pretending to try to do. For one, I don't care too much if liberals and their clientele abort their babies. I'm much more interested in securing a future for my own babies, and those of my own nation, in a country where expressing support of white genocide is widely tolerated. What non-Americans and liberal traitors do to "their bodies" is not my biggest concern. And further, it's not Constitutional. Maybe a quaint notion these days, but the law would be a violation of the 10th Amendment. Washington shouldn't dictate common law to the states. The only thing I'd say in favor of the bill is that its passing would provide good entertainment. I'd like to see it get legally contested all the way to the Supreme Court. Liberals would have to argue that abortion bans are un-Constitutional, even though federally banning abortion bans is okay.
If there is one thing we like to do here, it's to expose lies, and there is little benefit when the lie has gone mainstream. Every regular reader here knows that liberals these days are radical neo-Puritans who sit well to the left of Karl Marx. And you know that the corporate journalists are ideologically possessed pundits who lie constantly. You may not realize the extent to which respected scientific disciplines are lying to you, which is why there has been so much focus on them lately. And you probably aren't hearing any mainstream voices telling you to ignore what degenerates are doing to their fetuses when our own children face dark and turbulent times to come. So that's the value you'll get here. The kind of truth-telling that you can only find in dimly lit bars and obscure hobby blogs, far from the tentacles of political and economic dictatorship. I intend to maintain some distance from national politics and the "liberals are dumb" critiques, so long as the heavy hitters, the guys getting millions of views per month, are doing their jobs.
