"It’s also almost irrelevant, because it won’t happen."

Thanks for writing this piece, John. This is something I've been trying to explain to black-pilled friends (including my own wife) for the better part of two years now.

They fucked up. They don't understand what the internet is, and never have. Like Khan in Star Trek 2, they can only perceive weaponry, and only from one stilted angle of perception. What we are seeing is panic motions, the spasms of a drowning swimmer who lost track of the shoreline.

I had a hearty laugh at the notion of "mainstream" media organs chasing after "alternative" narratives, sealing and padlocking the barn doors after the horses are gone with the wind. It reminded me somewhat of what happened to big box music stores in the early 90's. I am old enough to recall when the dominant section was "pop/rock" -- a sort of catchall for tunage with high frequency radio play -- and "alternative" music was a small set of racks located on the end of one lonely aisle. What a difference a few years made in terms of marketing lingo! Suddenly, "alternative" owned the lion's share of rack space, to the extent that it might as well have been labeled "no alternative". Resistance is futile, indeed.

But the main takeway is that they not only misunderstand the internet, but the human condition itself. Like classical psychopaths, hey cannot even comprehend the creature, let alone the creator. They are doomed to lose, because they don't understand the game they are actually playing.

Your vision is much more attractive than my vision of an extended dark age not much different in appearance than that which followed the fall of the Roman empire. I hope you are more right than I am.

Agreed 100%! It will turn out to be just a wet dream for scum like Rotschilds Gateses Soroses Musks and the rest who are like them.

I return Schwab's "You will own nothing and be happy" to him like this:"You will own no one and you will be unhappy"

I sure hope this is true. Not much good news out there these days, so a different perspective is more-than-refreshing. Many thanks.

Thanks for the much-needed dose of optimism. I hope you are right. They won some major battles during the pandemania, but hopefully the tide has turned and their wins ultimately amount to pyrrhic victories that cost them the war.

It has been encouraging to see the number of people who've been red-pilled thanks to the WEFsters overreach during the scamdemic, the St Floyd riots, the weaponization of federal law enforcement against political enemies, etc; but there are still a lot of NPCs who happily "vote blue no matter who." Hopefully more people will be awakened from their dogmatic slumbers. If not, the good future you dream of may have to come on the other side of a civil war -- hopefully not, but even if it comes to that, we are in much better shape today because the WEFsters overreach has awakened so many people.

Anyway, thanks for the great read, and keep fighting the good fight, Mr Carter!

An uplifting piece, John, and a pleasure to read. I do not want to weaken your resolve or enthusiasm, but there is the possibility that the 'resistance' (like you or me or any of the readership) are just adapting to long-term shifts and that we are able to do this because the system can function happily enough without our active support and regardless of our ideational and rhetorical defiance.

The great problem that our masters, the Sado-Malthusians, face is the existence of a large number of surplus people. The growing number of resisters and dissenters mocking them cheers us all, but they remain in control of all existing institutions. A thriving anti-hegemonic counter-culture may exist for generations to come on the margins and may occupy the energy and time of the underemployed or marginalised (the precariat, the cancelled and the NEET).

A transhumanist technotopia or a technotronic dream are not realisable, but the Brazilian/Haitian model is a viable option and is taking shape. The Blue States are getting remade as low intensity no-go zones (at least until they are re-gentrified in half a generation or so) but the Red will end up like the better parts of Brazil and over time internal immigration will create an abundant number of favelas there too. Imagine something like a better version of ELYSIUM without the satellite-colonies or BLADERUNNER without the off-world settlements.

I'll provide one little detail about the fake food. I was in Bulgaria during the lockdowns, and the people were not fooled. BG was one of the freest and most open places in 2021, I was lucky to be there. One day, I was shopping in my local Kaufland and noticed cricket flour on offer. It was rather expensive, $3 or so for a little package. I thought, who will buy this, all Bulgarians have a connection to their grandmother's village, they make their own cheese there, etc. Well, I was right. I went to Kaufland a few days later, and the cricket flour was gone and never came back.

I absolutely love your writing and especially your ideas. This makes perfect sense, in terms of the timing, your point about the mainstream now on the defense rather than the offense, all of it. Thank you.

The Beyond Meat anecdote reminds me of this:

I went to Churchill (Manitoba) one fine October for a tourist trip to trundle around in big wheel buses to gawk at polar bears (the bears wait in Churchill for Hudson Bay to ice over). Bears often hang out down wind from the tourist lodging, which wisely has jail bars over the windows (to protect the tourists).

One night, bears broke in through a door near the kitchen and made off with a pallet of food. The pallet contained: burgers, cookie dough, and tofu. The pallet was found the next day, with everything consumed except for the TOAD FOOD. Smart bears!

That was wonderful! The world has seemed so hopeless these past many months. If nothing else, cricket flour would have sent everyone over the edge screaming (except maybe Gates - he probably likes that crap). I knew they wanted to decimate our numbers but for all the thought they put into it, they screwed some things up enormously. So how do we get people to leave off with the EVs now? My niece totaled hers a couple of days ago, and without insurance, so it is now just green... garbage. Bwahahahahaha!

The best thing ever occurred when Schwab and company panicked out of this patient gradualism methodology.

Heavenly ending to a terrific explanation as to what is now occurring. But I won't discount the bugs, many people would rather stand in line for their free portion of bug & grass soup than to actually plant and tend a garden. Hahahahaha!

Let them have their bugs!

Excellent essay. I wish I could be more optimistic. I suspect the incoherence is necessary for the reset and think the second order effects didn't catch them off guard. People like Soros and other power elite may not be able to check their own email, but they own the system that created it. That class knows how to delegate and command. With thay being said, thanks for the essay. You are a very talented writer.

At work, I used to laugh uproariously at the things our "Superiors" would say during meetings, etc., as everyone else looked at me in bewilderment - which is why the following was my favorite line of a great article.

"Every time they say anything, the Internet has a good laugh at their expense."
