The Marie Antoinettes

Guest Post by The Zman

I was watching the sportsball games over the weekend and this ad for the US Marine Corps kept popping up during the broadcast. I don’t watch a lot of television so I’m late to the party on this. It appears the ad was cut last spring. My first reaction was, “Why would anyone send soccer moms into combat?” That’s what it looks like in the video. The actress looks like she is an office clerk playing paintball at the company retreat. My second thought was, “Who do they think is watching this stuff?”

The answer to the last question is they simply don’t know who is watching this stuff. They just imagine who they hope is watching it. The fact is, the people who rule over us no longer know much about us. The Marines are not as bad as the other branches, but they too are staggering around in the thick fog of the estrogen laced miasma known as multiculturalism. That means they are slowly detaching from reality, confusing the much dreamed for future with present reality. They think G.I. Jane is real.

This confusion between what they wish for and what is present reality is all over the mass media. Most TV ads now have race mixing, despite the fact it remains relatively rare in American society. According to TV, the average American family is a black guy with a white wife and two Asian kids. Because Progressives are so fixated on whatever they currently imagine as Utopia, they inevitably begin to confuse their dreamed for world with the real world. You can see that in this Washington Post infographic story.

The short setup tells you right away that the people who put this together are not living in the same America as the rest of us. “We asked people to contemplate what it means to be American in this time of upheaval and rapid change” is not a statement about present reality. The last eight years were a period of turmoil and upheaval. What’s going on now is a return to something close to normalcy, but to the cult of rage heads determined to smash up American society, order and normalcy is what they imagine to be Hell.

Notice how they say that 102 randomly selected people speak for the rest of us. That’s because they look at people as talking meat sticks. For all their talk of diversity, they think there is no difference between a Yankee plumber and Arab goatherd. We’re all just talking monkeys to them. Worse yet, they are so arrogant that they think they can round up a hundred or so opinions and figure out what the rest of us are thinking from that random sample. These people look at us as zoo animals and they are our keepers.

The real tell is the complexion of the images in the graphic. They think the great brown future is already here. I went through the pictures and did a rough, back of the envelope census. The break down: 42% white, 8% Jewish, 21% black, 6% Asian, 11% Hispanic and 12% other, which is Muslims, Indians and Amerinds. What this reveals is just how much the typical Washington Post employee hates white people. They can barely stand to look at us, much less ask our opinion. Of course, they really hate white men.

Note also the obsession with people being united. This is the hallmark of the religious fanatic.The fanatic sees any deviation from the permissible as an assault on the order they imagine as perfection. The popular conception of fascists is they were people who violently oppose coloring outside the lines. It is once again an example of how the Left conjures demons that reflect its true soul. For Lefty, the dream is a world where everyone thinks and acts exactly as there are required, to serve the Great Hive.

What this post story and the tidal wave of idiotic media ads reveals, though, is what the people in charge currently imagine as the glorious future. The utopian minded are sure that the promised land is just over the next hill. In the case of the lunatics ruling over us, they believe the future is a land full of mulattoes, who have internalized the lessons of the one true faith to the point where they no longer possess an individual self. America is just one big petting zoo designed so corpulent cosmopolitans can have a variety of restaurants.

The old paleocons like Sam Francis and Joe Sobran, were heavily influenced by James Burnham. They looked at American elites as an emerging managerial class. They were mostly right about the contours of the new ruling class, but the one thing they could not get right is the sharp disconnect between the current ruling elite and the pubic. The managerial state cannot withstand contact with reality, so it seeks to insulate itself from it. Walk onto a college campus or government compound and you are no longer in America.

That’s because the people who rule over us are no longer Americans. You see that in the reactions to Trump and the new populism. The elites of both parties are so sure Trump is backed by foreigners, because the things Trump says and does are completely alien to the elites of both parties. Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi would be more comfortable around Trump is he was a talking lizard man. A space alien would make more sense to them than a white person expecting his government to look out for his interests.

Circling back to those ads we see on mass media and stories like the one I linked, it is not as much about proselytizing with these people as it is about make believe. The all white ad companies making these ads are not promoting miscegenation. They imagine that as the future and they want so deeply to believe that the masses want that future, they are incapable of portraying reality. With few exceptions, we are ruled over by a class of people with the same grasp of reality as Marie Antoinette.
