Lesson Of Trump #3

Guest Post by The Zman

Perhaps in the future, this day will be called day zero of year zero, signifying the official closing of one era and the start of a new one. The installation of Joe Biden as president marks the end of the old civic nationalist America and the beginning of the new managerial state. Competitive elections and open debate of the old era have been swept away in favor of ceremonial elections and speech codes. The managerial class has formally seized control of the country.

No one can look at what is going on in the country and think any of it is normal or that returning to normal is possible. Even if Washington wanted to return to normalcy, the last few months cannot be unseen. Joe Biden will take the oath of office behind layers of razor wire, guarded more than a full army division. The imperial capital looks like it is under occupation and it very well may remain this way. The new regime is extremely paranoid, convulsed by increasingly bizarre conspiracy theories.

This is the big lesson of the Trump years. The nature and psychology of the managerial class began to transform after the end of the Cold War. Little by little it was becoming a closed and insulated culture sitting atop of the general culture. The system looked the same from the outside, two parties competing for votes and the right to dispense the benefits of power, but inside it was changing. It was becoming a distinct culture and the people in that culture were becoming class aware.

Viewed in this context, the 2016 election of Donald Trump was the catalyst for the final phase of this process, the end of which is unfolding now.  The political system in America is now a closed shop, like a sports league. Just as you cannot buy a sports team without first being approved by the other owners, you can no longer win a federal election without first being vetted by the managerial class. The razor wire barriers are the manifestation of this closing of the managerial elite.

It is not just the political marketplace that has been closed off. America is no longer a market economy. This is another thing that has accelerated into plain sight during the Trump years. The shuttering of the social media site Parler is a great example of how the marketplace no longer exists in a conventional sense. All of its vendors gave up their business with the company, because the people running those firms are loyal to their class, not the abstract principles of the marketplace.

This will become increasingly clear as the new regime takes control. The big economic players like the banks or the tech giants are no longer subject to the marketplace in any meaningful way. For example, if angry consumers swore off Amazon, not much would change for Amazon as they control the logistics for the companies those angry consumers would use in place of Amazon. Mastercard can back list anyone because they are a part of a cartel that has no competition.

This will be the hardest lesson for people to accept. Every generation of Americans walking the earth right now has been conditioned to believe the marketplace is the final arbiter of all disputes. Despite all that has gone on, most people cannot accept that there is no marketplace in large swaths of the economy. They still respond to the bogeyman of socialism, despite the fact America has been a socialist country for close to a century now. We are now a command-and-control economy.

Of course, all of this is coming with something even more ominous. For example, the tech giants volunteered to work with the FBI to get the protestors they have now labeled insurrectionists, which is an important change in tone. This public-private partnership comes naturally, as the people involved see one another as members of the same class, at war with the same enemy. Silicon Valley is officially the signal intelligence arm of the surveillance state.

This year the regime will roll out the Covid passports, which will be required to get on public transport. Soon, they will be required to do anything. This is the beginning of the social credit system, where your internal passport is essentially a report card that is constantly updated based on your behavior. It starts with public health but will quickly moves to public safety. Surveillance capitalism will come into full bloom tarted up with the language of public safety and defending democracy.

In total, what the Trump phenomenon has revealed is the America most people thought was their country is gone. Politically, economically, demographically, and culturally, the old American has been replaced with this new society. The great reset, as the new regime bills it, is a dictatorship of the managerial class. That class is now largely closed off to the rest of us. Just as the nomenklatura had the house on the embankment, the managerial class has the walled institutions.

This is why the new regime is willing to bust up many of the institutions that had been instrumental in creating. Public distrust of the media is no longer important, as the new class is no longer subject to the voters. The media companies no longer worry about the audience, because what are you going to do, start your own Amazon? Create your own Hollywood? Mitch McConnell supports another impeachment, because he knows the party system is a farce. His loyalty to his class is what matters.

Michael Anton was right that Donald Trump was the Flight 93 president. Like that flight, the story was motivated by hope, but it was doomed from the start. Like that flight, it crashed and now can only serve as a warning and a rally point. For the new regime, it is a warning that their subjects will fight back if given the chance. For the rest of us, it is reminder that we can fight back, but success is not guaranteed. Resistance only works when no one has any illusions about what is being resisted.

My solutions are better than any available. Hahaha. Man. That is truly a sad state of affairs… WHEN A DIRTY, HOMELESS BEACH BUM has devised better methods for reversing the decline of the west than anybody else. You guys are passionate about the right things, but you attack the wrong issues. It makes our whole side of the political spectrum useless and you accomplish nothing with aimless protests. I have a direction. I have a fucking comet, with a saddle, for the West to ride upon. Go ahead and laugh. Haha. I think it’s fucking ridiculous myself that I’m the only adult in the room. Where are your solutions to these problems??? No final solutions, no killing people, that shits not gonna work. When you’re tired of watching the sand slip between your fingers…

I don’t know where to start with you lot. I have the solution. It is a big one. You only get one chance to destroy the deathstar. I’m offering it to you. And you will sit there and mock me.

Like an idiot.

I can put the lightning in your hands.

But I know you will never believe, no matter how well I present the… Complex of ideas… which will destroy the evil empire and- MORE IMPORTANTLY- plant the rapidly-growing seeds of a movement which is going to alter your future (with or without me).

I’m looking at you there. Yes. You. You have no clue what is coming, I can assure you.

But how long will you sit on your hands and allow the future to go down the drain?

I can stop it. All of it. But I cannot do it without some help.

Nothing is more important. These phenomena will affect you positively in my case, or in an orwellian fashion on our current trajectory.

Quit fucking around.

You need this more than it needs you, and you don’t even know it yet. I have an extremely valuable idea. But once its out of the box, you better hope its in friendly hands. I’m not the only one working on these things. Others want it, and with it, they will, finally, destroy you. I just want peace. No destroying. It’s all possible, you really can have your cake and eat it too. Anything becomes possible once a certain threshhold has been reached. I speak in vague, loose-ended phrases. You would too if you were guarding a paradigm-shift from gigantic, Globalist forces that want you dead and erased from history.

I’m tempted to let Fate run it’s course with you. If you wont move to save yourselves, extinction is deserved, frankly. I could sit here continuing to watch the world burn. And I could also reverse it.

I can tell you after searching high and low, all over the internet, that nobody has a better solution. Nobody. Its here. It’s quiet, and small, and in hiding. And if I meet the guy, who believes it and can arrange the logistics… We can own our destinies for a change. It’s quite an abstract concept for most of you, I know.

Dont have a fucking fit Gertrude. The future is change. Get used to that.

Now, talk shit to your descendants only realistic hope for the future. Bring it. Dont pull your punches. I’m gonna walk away now, and watch you drown yourselves.

I’ll be the one destroying the top-secret escape pods that you never believed existed because you were too busy being an angry mouth-breather to bother with your future. I dont care. You decide. Have a nice suicide.

That sounds exactly like one of those videos where the guy is going to tell you the name of the stock of the decade. 30 minutes later, he is still trying to sell you on the idea that he has the name of the stock you want to buy.

I went 15 minutes into one of those last night, but it was about which food to eat to become Super Buff. I can’t dedicate more than 15 consecutive minutes to ANYTHING, so I consigned myself to just living with this Captain Kirk body. Actually my John Belushi-as-Captain Kirk body.

I think he was referring to the narrative, not the facts of the matter. And in this era the narrative always trumps the facts.

The common folk can no longer vote with their money. Big companies no longer care if you boycott them or try to take your business elsewhere.

Big gov no longer cares whether or not you vote. The ruling class knows that you know the elections are rigged, and they don’t care. They can generate the results they want and create a cheap illusion of legitimacy which the majority the sheeple for all practical purposes will not reject.

Whether the ruling class seriously fears the White man is an open question. Nearly 100% of those White people in the elite echelons of the ruling class actively collude with racial aliens who seek the abolition of the White race from the face of the earth. Nearly half of all ordinary White people in the U.S. support – even passionately cooperate with – this agenda.

It seems thar most White people alive today really don’t care whether they survive as a distinct race with a distinct culture and a distinct destiny. Most are basically unaware or indifferent to the reality that their European ancestors created one of history’s highest civilizations, if not the highest.

If any of you havent read the stalag edition of hitlers first book. Dont. If you do, your life will never be the same. I read the first 100 pages recently, and the events of austria pre-WW1, mimic current events to a striking degree. History is repeating itself, almost exactly.

Are any of you aware? No?

So you’re dumb.

That’s okay, you can fix that. The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Why yes, there are a few of us here who have read that.
Someday perhaps you wil say something useful that doesn’t sound like the marketing of a late night infomercial. “BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE!”
If you have a “paradigm shifting idea” maybe quit dicking around in comments and make use of it. Of course reading between the lines of your sales pitch, because let’s be real here your comment is such a sales pitch: “who believes it and can arrange the logistics” it might as well start with how much much money google pays you to work from home, it sounds as though you need money.
The last thing anyone here wants is to hand you money for you “extremely valuable idea”, if you had something that could fix what ails this country and you wanted to make some money off it, rather then just do it for the good of the country… well you do sound like someone familiar with the subject matter of Mein Kampf just not someone I would expect to recommend it.

I think it is the “managerial class”.. it’s just that history calls them bourgeoisie/proletariat and others use cloud people/dirt people. A rose by any other name, or better yet, a turd by any other name is still a pile of stinking chit….

Don’t go too harsh on Zman.

He never implied ‘this is all caused by right-extremists only, and only the TRUE left can provide salvation’ – as so many (leftist) writers do these days (referring to Biden! Where were those guys 3 months ago?),
so I can overlook Zman’s a little unfortunate use of the term ‘class.’

The amount of whites that are self-hating isn’t as large as the media paints it. They are just blocked from organizing.

I personally don’t think things will change until whites suffer MUCH MORE. Then I expect an IRA style response.
