Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
You need to die because of your smile.
That’s the position of our enemies, and we know it because they told us – openly, proudly, in the garbage public forum that is Twitter and elsewhere. Oh, they backtracked a little when the extent of their killing fantasies got exposed, scampering like their insect analogy, the roach, when someone flips on the kitchen light. But that kid in DC with the Frigidaireborne reefer ranger banging that drum in his baffled mug? They wanted that kid to die for having a Wrong Smile.
Cue the excuse chorus: “That’s nonsense! We just wanted to pummel that kid and then destroy him, his family and and all his classmates! Don’t look behind the curtain at the woodchipper comments and bomb threats, you cisnormative monsters!”
Think of what they would do with real power…
Accept that that kid was you, and me. If they’ll ice a kid for not having the right grin, they’ll waste you or me in a heartbeat. Murder is, after all, how leftists roll. The USSR, Red China, Cambodia, North Korea, Cuba – that cadaver-strewn litany teaches what’s lurking at the bottom of the slope we’re sliding down. The Dems are spooning with socialism, and the goal of socialism is written in blood on the pages of history. The unapproved must be liquidated, and they are making no secret that you are unapproved.
Understand that and accept it.
I know it’s hard. It goes against everything you’ve been taught to believe to acknowledge that that a significant and influential group of other Americans – not that they identify that way – want you dead or enslaved. But they do. The Fredocons will scoff, but the conservaquisling collaborators’ actions speak louder than their weasel words – they’re currying favor with the enemy, betting that their abject groveling and supine submission will mean that they get the chop last.
You better get your head in the game or you’ll find your head in a guillotine – definitely figuratively, maybe literally.
You want to reject this reality, to dismiss it, to wave it off as crazy talk. But listen to what they say. Watch what they do. Have the strength to accept the harsh truth that is punching you in the face.
They hate you for not submitting, for being an obstacle to their rule.
The problem is that you are nice, and you project your niceness. Projection is human nature. So while leftist spittle-spewing sociopaths project their own shriveled morality when they shriek about how we’re all racist fascists of fascist racism when racist fascism is actually their jam, we Normals tend to project our decency when we assume that our opponents are just confused friends who are in the throes of a grievous misunderstanding about us that we can remedy with facts and evidence.
That’s 100 percent wrong. Facts and evidence don’t matter because the trial is already over and you’ve already been condemned because of who you are. You can’t ever clear yourself with the left because they don’t hate you for what you did or will do, but for who you are. That’s where the babble about “white privilege” comes from – if you’re white and conservative you’re wrong, and if you’re not white and conservative, you’re even…wronger.
It’s not about race or gender or orientation, but about power – they want to take yours, to strip you of your sovereignty and make you kneel. Their SJW posturing is all a lie and a scam. They don’t care about ending racism, sexism, homophobia, or any of the myriad other -isms and -phobias they blather about. Those poses are just weapons to be used to capture what they really want – total power over you. They seek to shame you into submission, and if that won’t work, then they’ll do whatever it takes.
Do you think the Democrats of yesterday spent a lot of time weighing the evidence before lynching black men? Those Democrats murdered black men for two reasons – because they wanted to send a message to other black men about the price of resistance, and because they enjoyed doing it.
When the Democrats of today were on Twitter mobbing those children from Kentucky for daring not to submit, couldn’t you sense the hideous joy they felt screeching for the heads of those kids? Their souls are empty of morality and religion, and nature abhors a vacuum, so they filled that vacancy with pagan bloodlust.
Orwell wrote about the daily “Two-Minute Hate,” and how is this any different? These unloveable losers have nothing else in their lives, no connection with anything, so they find meaning by joining together with other misfit psychopaths so they can lose themselves in a frenzy of hatred where they get to play the role of righteous avengers.
Think of what they would do with real power…
And understand that they might get it. The Democrat Party is not just listening to them. It’s being transformed by them. Name the prominent Democrat politician who stood up and said, “This Covington Kid crucifixion is wrong!”
Cue the tumbleweeds…
Not one. Not one senior Democrat said that this was wrong. In fact, the big names joined in. Big Chief Lizzy tweeted about how these designated monsters from Kentucky, with their MAGA hats and audacity to march in support of their political beliefs, had disrespected a “Vietnam War veteran.” Even as this is written, and even after garbage outlets like the garbage Washington Post have had to confess their credulous reporting of Dick Blumenthal’s Saigon battle buddy’s garbage lies, Senator 1/1024th’s demonstrably false Twitter smoke signal is still up.
Think of what they would do with real power…
Do you think that a leftist Supreme Court majority won’t construe the First Amendment to exclude protection for “hate speech,” by which I mean any thoughts you might wish to express that they object to?
Do you think they won’t turn the federal bureaucracy – including law enforcement – against their political enemies a thousand times harder than before, having been rewarded for the last decade of doing so?
Do you think they won’t start tossing dissenters into prison? They do in England. You can go to jail for a tweet there – and do you think the left thinks that’s a bad thing, or a creative European innovation that needs to be imported?
How about the Second Amendment? Are you kidding? The idea that our citizenry maintains the ultimate veto over tyranny drives them bonkers.
Do you think they won’t use violence to make you conform? Hell, Democrat presidential candidate Eric Swalwell is willing to nuke you for not giving up your guns. We know that because he said so.
It’s time to stop pretending that people who hate our guts don’t hate our guts, and that given the chance they won’t act exactly like people who hate our guts would act.
The time to stop them is now, while we still can peacefully, before they quit tweeting about killing and start doing it beyond the occasional Bernie Bro at a ball field. We need to purge the weakhearts and Fredocons from positions of authority in our movement and be all-in for victory in 2020. In the meantime, we need to aggressively push our campaign to remake the courts. And it sure would not hurt to follow the Founders‘ advice to exercise our Second Amendment rights to reinforce the deterrent to tyranny that is an armed citizenry.
Just remember to smile as you fight to keep your freedom, because that shows them that they don’t get to win.
Now, if you want to see in more (action-packed and often hilarious) detail what will happen if they ever do get real power, check out my latest novel, Wildfire, and my earlier installments People’s Republic and Indian Country. Those 100 million corpses generated by socialism in the last century are not a hypothetical.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis.

Once again, Kurt is spot on. I have been saying similar things for quite some time. Every time I do I get a barrage of indignant replies from meatheads who insist that “it isn’t that bad” or my solutions for this catastrophe are radical or extreme. OK. I will say it one more time. It is pointless to reason with these bastards. You can’t “reach across the aisle”. So-called “civility” is a joke. You are not “civil” to lunatics who hate you and want to kill you.
The “left” in this country is composed of brain-washed morons led by some of the most evil people you can imagine. They are not your fellow Americans and never have been. What they believe and are trying to shove down your throat has nothing to do with America, it has no roots in our law, history or traditions. Their “ideas” were born in the sewers of eastern Europe and the fevered minds of a handful of wild-eyed European nutjobs.
There is no easy way out of this. Force will have to be used against these people. The ringleaders will have to be executed. Others – a very substantial number – will be forced into exile or prison. The run-of-the-mill idiots who have lent their support to them will have to lose their civil rights. It goes without saying that every last penny belonging to the criminals who have financed the left will be confiscated.
In my view, the sooner outriight war starts the better. Not because I want war or because I am unaware of its horrors. No, it is because I know it is now inevitable and the sooner we strike the better the chances ther American people will win. Yes, war is terrible. It is worse if you lose.
Trump had better get his head out of his ass. I like him and support him. That said, he still does not really get it. The very fact that he apparently listens to the like of Jared Kushner or his daughter Ivanka is proof of that.
If Trump leaves office without crushing the left and a Democrat is elected, he will be arrested and sent to prison, full stop. Likewise many of the honest, decent people who have worked with him. Then they willl start on the rest of us. He had better use the power he has while he has it.
He needs to call on the people directly and make it perfectly clear he means business. A National Emergency to build a wall? A waste of his powers. He should declare the blue states like California and some of the others in rebellion and dissolve their state governments. The National Guard in those states should be Federalized and a citizen’s militia organized. Sound crazy? Just wait until sweet buns Ocasiop-Cortez is sitting in the Oval Office.
Time is running out folks.
Spot on, SS. Wish I could give you 1000 thumbs up!!!
Ditto!
So you want to do what they’re doing or might do to us to them. So you’re no better than they are. Catch-22. In order to beat them you must become them.
Ask Nevil Chamberlain how that all worked out for England.
No shit. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. It doesn’t matter who’s right, it matters who wins.
In another thread just a few days ago Ned called you a “pawn” and implied that you are a big fat pussy.
You said nothing. Did not defend your honor. (I did! And he said mean things to me.)
Therefore, as such, based on your aforementioned actions (or, lack thereof) — it is my belief that if a big war against Leftfuks does arrive at your doorstep that you will just pussy out.
Fix the voter fraud and left will never win another election.
Simple, no ?
(((They))) are leading the SJW’s for our heads. “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”, (((they))) will say, as the baying and howling crowds will call for the lynching of traditional white Americans. Plan for the worst, hope for the best, and YMMV. I dont know about you, but I’m stacking deep while its (relatively) cheap. Welcome to Bartertown, everyone…
A Korean War Marine machine gunner told me you never have enough ammunition! Think about that!
In my last post for the article “I’m Tired,” I ended with the question, “what can we do?”
Kurt nails it in spades. But if everyone agrees the sooner the better, before they become stronger, “when” or “how” becomes a key question.
Just finished Wildfire, very entertaining. And eye opening.
You’re directly above the target, Kurt. Fine job. Never-Trumpers and the GOPe continue to line up unwittingly with the fascist Left to undermine Trump. Hey, there are elements of Trump that I dislike, but he is the right guy for being the first cultural war time President. If he fails, it all goes dark, and the Nation slips into Fascism.
Trump is a big speedbump on the Freeway to socialist Hell.
The Republic, if it even still exists, will eventually be broken up by progressive Libtards, socialists, and their immigrant friends as they change the rule of law for their own benefit. Everyone’s profit will be re-distributed into an equal share of government regulated misery.
Prepare accordingly.
Has anyone here come across this fellow yet?

I’ve only watched the “Why the Left Never Learns” two-parter so far. A couple of his assertions definitely have changed the way I view things, and have given me deep insight into some interpersonal difficulties with a particular friend. We had been discussing some impersonal topic when all of a sudden she launched into a criticism of my style: how I was too “passionate” and too “sure of myself” and that I “made people uncomfortable” and that I should be happy to be told this because she was doing me a favor, like “telling someone their fly was open”. She dressed me down in front of a small group and I was extremely irritated, though I wasn’t about to get into a tar-baby fight about it. She’d done this before!! When I said things that were true, but (supposedly) made people feel bad, she challenged me personally rather than addressing the merits of the argument. This is her default, it turns out. I didn’t apologize.. just told her I couldn’t be held responsible for other people’s feelings, especially when I wasn’t personally insulting anyone, but talking about abstractions. I had chalked it up to her difficult upbringing and certain mental issues, but now I see the pattern it is hard to un-see.
Those “certain mental issues” are manifestations of progressive ideological brainwashing.
Feelings and emotions are their reality and facts or concepts they don’t agree with make them angry – simply because it challenges what they’ve learned or believe to be true.
Avoid these people. They’re not reliable friends or trustworthy co-workers. They will eventually stab you for a triviality and feel morally justified in doing so.
They’re intellectual and emotional children and if given a position of authority over others they’ll naturally resort to being petty and miserable tyrants – for your own good, of course.
CB, I have watched a couple of John Mark’s videos. There is one point in particular that he makes that has given much clarity of the ‘thinking’ on the Left.
Women are hard-wired to react in two specific areas: Equal distribution and nurture. They will make sure the resources are distributed according to the need of the individual as she sees it and, to nurture the brood overall. In all other aspects, she is blind and deaf. Have you ever seen a previously married woman with children and her role and behavior with the new “Dad”? He becomes “Dad” in name only.
She sees him as an aggressor when it comes to rearing the children, otherwise he is the hired hand of security. She may perform other duties towards the household and makes a good show of ‘window dressing’. But rest assured, her first allegiance is to the babies. She is the Ministry of the Protectorate.
Thus the hierarchy of victim-hood becomes a question of who is most oppressive. The most qualified, the smartest, the strongest, the most able are always seen as the aggressor. Just as a note, the recent backlash against the trans-woman is another indicator of that hierarchy. The phrase that “they’re not really a woman” shows that they are on a lower rung in victim-hood world.
Ain’t Feminism great?
Try being a step-father and make the “mistake” of hurting feelings in the process of doling out parental discipline over continuous, repetitive BS with step-children. You will find out very quickly where you rank in the family heirarchy.
Mom, kids, pets – then you.
Ditto. Feelings rule. Lol
I had a firm rule when I was dating: no one with kids. Why would I spend my time, money and energy raising some other dude’s offspring? It’s just a type of cuckoldry.
i have said for a long,long time that women should either not be allowed to vote or only after marriage,children,and age 30 is reached–
Great piece of writing and profoundly realistic…
I was just watching a Styxhexenhammer video and saw the funniest comment: Trump’s 2020 campaign slogan should be Make Them Cry Again.
Well done, now I realize why I think a knock in the snot locker is in order when the snowflakes try to melt all over. If the Truth wont shut them up the taste of blood and a repeat performance might.
Good essay by Kurt Schlichter.
For a few years now, I’ve been a reader of this site and I have commented often. In more recent time, I’ve commented less while reading aplenty, but I’ll write something here.
While the left is not necessarily a monolith, if there is one overriding and ever-predictable pattern of behavior among leftists, it is that:
1) They prioritize narratives over facts and truth
2) They are violently intolerant of views that do not match theirs
3) 1 and 2 are signs of a fanaticism of the most religious kind
We are all aware of how the European church of the Middle Ages burned “heretics” at the stake and we are also aware that there are religions today (such as a certain monotheistic faith that has inspired people like Al-Qaeda) which are utterly intolerant of dissent. Leftists carry that religious zeal into their activism and ideology. Their propensity to label conservatives as “Nazis” and “fascists” is simply their way of calling us ideological heretics.
While claiming to fight for moral causes, the extent of the passion with which they engage in such fights always depends on who is involved.
They were up in arms when a little black girl was shot in a parking lot (a tragedy, a catastrophe, and an absolutely horrible event) supposedly by a white man, but when the perpetrator was found to the black, the uproar died down. They claim black lives matter but they only raise up storms of indignation when the perpetrator is of another race. More than 90% of blacks murdered in the United States per annum have a black person as the killer, but there are no marches and no blocked highways and no demonstrations over that.
They claim to fight for women, but when it is nonwhites who are guilty of horrific kidnappings and rapes, the left is silent. Kate Steinle’s death was not taken up by feminists, and the left has likely been as silent as a tomb when it comes to the numerous cases of women and minors raped, assaulted, molested, and in some cases, killed by North African/Middle Eastern migrants in Sweden, Germany, and other western European nations.
For the most part, there is no reasoning with them. Leftists are essentially members of a fearsome and troubling cult. I have studied what orthodox, evangelical Christianity calls “cults” and “toxic churches,” and one thing these creepy religious groups do is to use fear to control its members, including but not limited to ensuring they do not leave. They warn members that if they leave, they’ll be damned to hell as the only way to God is found within the said group. When members leave, they are permanently shunned; families and marriages and friendships are destroyed over this. In the same manner, the left thusly treats those who “see the light:” it has even been the case that blacks who were liberals and turned conservatives were called “Nazis.” Calling blacks born in the United States “Nazis” because they became conservatives is the height of stupidity and irony but I do not hold leftists beyond this.
Another problem with the left is that it is profoundly convinced and convicted that it is moral superior to its ideological opponents. The left looks down on us; it views us with disgust and disdain. Some of them may actually feel pity for us and think that some of us are “redeemable” (we may yet see the light, leave the Matrix, and join them). But overall, they believe (again, with a fanatical zeal reminiscent of religious cults) that theirs are morally commendable positions. This is why the “basket of deplorables” comment by Hillary Clinton resonated so loudly with them: in large part thanks to the media, they became completely convinced that supporters of Donald Trump were nothing more but a motley crew of morally degenerate, educationally challenged, intellectually poor, and barely washed country bumpkins who lacked the cosmopolitan sophistication that they of course had.
Thus, when one is unwilling to adjust one’s views when faced with evidence (this is a sign of intellectual dishonesty) to the extent one shuts down others (Twitter bans, Facebook unfriending, etc; it’s happened to me a few times) or at least totally ignores them, while also believing “different-thinkers” are morally inferior, and likewise mixed with a religious fervor, the result is a frightening creature. Multiply this by millions, with many of them cunning and savvy and knowing how to hustle the system, and this is why Nick Sandmann was so quickly and so often in a few hours’ span accused of racism, bigotry, Nazism, white privilege, white supremacy, and all other sorts of utterly ludicrous, fact-free, mean-spirited, cruel, and thoroughly stupid accusations.
I have noticed though: leftists like to double-down. We must then “triple-down.” If they can’t convince us, and yet refuse to engage us, they do tend to leave alone those who fight back and argue back and tear their lies apart with facts and logic. People no longer engage me on social media because I in thoroughly annoying fashion tackle their arguments, dissect their claims, offer facts to counter them, and call them out on their double-standards and lack of realism. I’m very annoying when it comes to this, but leftists only take you seriously when you fight fire with fire, and this is not restricted on online arguments. You have, at times, to get in their faces and show you’re unafraid. This is why the Battle of Berkeley was meaningful: patriots beat up and beat back Antifa and other leftist miscreants.
I know some here are atheist, but I’ll still say thank God Donald Trump won the presidency. He has made mistakes and at times he frustrates me, but imagine what the left would be doing and how much bolder it’d be if Trump had lost.
Keep up the good fight, fellas. The American conservative movement may not be a monolith, but we are alive and well and I for one will continue to do my part.
