Party Like It’s 1984

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

Chalk up a fatal blow to The Patriarchy. That avatar of toxic masculinity, Mr. Potato Head has been dumped into the same humid chamber of perdition where the ghosts of Nathan Bedford Forrest, Theodore Bilbo, and Phyllis Schlafly howl and squirm — liberating the billions of potatoes world-wide from the mental prison of binary sexuality. The move by Hasbro (bro? really??) may yet disappoint the legions in Wokesterdom as a-bridge-not-far-enough while they await the debut of Transitioning Potato Head, complete with play hormone syringe and play scalpel, so that the under-six crowd can begin to map out their own gender reassignments without the meddling of Adult 1 and Adult 2, formerly known as Mommy and Daddy.

Was it mere coincidence that the action in Toyland happened the same week that one Rachel Levine was grilled in hir Senate confirmation hearing for the post as Assistant Secretary for Health in the Department of Health and Human Services? The hearing tilted toward transphobia when Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) asked zie, a little too aggressively, if they were in favor of pubescent children opting for sexual reassignment in opposition to xyr parents. The nominee, who hirself transitioned from “male” to “female” in 2011, answered that transgender medical issues are “complex and nuanced.” True (perhaps). And probably more than a Senator who transitioned from ophthalmologist to politician might appreciate.

Such are the great preoccupations of American leadership in these late days of empire. Are their any “historic firsts” left for Progressives to achieve in the march to a transhuman nirvana? An “undocumented” president? Animal representation in the House and Senate? A-I “entities” qualifying for public office — Governor Smartphone? Let’s face it, the pitiful old school humans in charge of things for so long are making a hash of our affairs. A cash register could probably do a better job as Chairman of the Federal Reserve than the always-waffley Jerome Powell. And a MacBook Pro might make a better president than Joe Biden in the brief daily operational hours before his managers a “call a lid.” We’d have to come up with some new personal pronouns for them, of course.

Pundits and observers-of-the-scene have warned us that all this artificially-generated turmoil over the sex-of-things is but one part of the prelude to a “Great Reset” in which people the world over are to be herded into corrals of ultra-regulated behavior. Of course, steers and cows are easier to push around than bulls, and the technology for transforming bulls into steers — or men in to eunuchs — is not that complex or nuanced. The question is: will enough American men submit to castration, either chemical, financial, political, or literal? Maybe not.

Cheerleaders for the Great Reset underestimate woefully the factor of disorder in the system they so crave to hegemonize. Disorder is exactly what the system is expressing, and in direct proportion to the wishes of authorities to exert tyrannical control over populations. Not only will the disorders get worse, but their effects will go increasingly non-linear, producing unintended consequences. Has anyone noticed that the psychopathic Woke curricula of Higher Ed have mirrored the collapsing business model of the colleges and universities? The more trouble they got themselves into with the loan racket, the crazier the faculty was allowed to act — as far as calling for the extermination of white people and the cancellation of Western Civ. Both the broken business model and intellectual rot will bring down many of these institutions, and quicker than you might believe. And then you will have no Higher Ed. People get what they deserve, not what they expect.

It’s been entertaining, for sure, but as we enter the 2021 springtime, with the banking system coming apart and markets wobbling, and more Americans evicted from both their living quarters and the middle-class, and conflicts between the state and federal governments, and new bouts of street-fighting, looting, and murder in the cities, it won’t be so amusing anymore. There will be a lot more to worry about than the gender of toys.

There isn’t a chance in hell that all Americans will get herded into a corral of cashless, digital currency that amounts to financial castration. Too many of us value the liberty of not having our every money transaction tracked by some Big Brother. As the dollar fails, Texas and Florida may be moved to issue their own currencies, and other states could follow their leads — may even follow them into an epic political realignment independent of the Beltway Swamp. And many citizens of this land have had enough of Google, Facebook, and the rest of the tech monopolies interfering in politics and pushing everyone around. The time has come for the heads of those outfits to start worrying about their own liberty.

Most already have and those that won’t will be isolated, cut off, then eliminated. The lack of any kind of organization, communications and leadership has pretty much assured a win for the communists at this point. You can bet the three letter agencies will flood and monitor sites like this and quell any thing they perceive as a threat. And at the oppropriate time, just before the raids, they will pull the plug on the ‘resistance’ sites, like TBP.

The **cough** conservative party is working with the communists, its all theatre for the masses. Trumps triumphant return, theatre, to further the psyop of containing all of humanity, and you will like it. If you don’t have an actionable plan, you could be in trouble. Move to a red state if at all possible, where more like minded folks can be found and a better chance of resistance can be formulated, imo

“The lack of any kind of organization, communications and leadership”

well, some on the right are borderline sociopaths. for them, they are themselves and there is nothing else legitimate. for them, organization communications and leadership are oppression.

I’m writing a letter to Mattel today to express my outrage over their tone deafness in these enlightened times.

I DEMAND that a standard accessory in every Barbie box be a penis. What if barbie wants to identify as a man?? Call it the Addadik2me option.

Like wise Ken needs a Vagina!! I don’t know how you put a vagina in a box, though. Let them figure it out. Maybe they can just include a small penknife so the child can cut a slit in the appropriate spot.

Free Barbie and Ken from the confines of Forced Identity!!!

I’m hoping for a mulatto hermaphrodite doll with rainbow hair. With complete male and female genitalia, so I can watch it fuck itself.

“A cash register could probably do a better job as Chairman of the Federal Reserve than the always-waffley Jerome Powell. And a MacBook Pro might make a better president than Joe Biden in the brief daily…”
– JHK

Auntie remembers those magnificent old timey registers made of elaborate, scrolling and embossed brass, with big typewriter type keys and a glass house on top that, when the keys were pressed, displayed the numbers and symbols of real commerce – ka ching – not the soulless swipe or chip insert of the plastic card or horrors the scan of the Mark of The Beast – where no bell rings when the till opens to accept or dispense the magic paper and metals. Just the perfect enslavement to the Money Masters.

Some consideration for the Macbook as replacement as chief executive; an Etch-A-Sketch would be a more appropriate device for President Deliverance and would do a heck of a job – just turn the knobs. Even Jen Psaki could do it.

Auntie – I think you might be giving Jen too much credit on her ability to run an Etch-A-Sketch. Making a circle on one is quite difficult and circling back is about all she can do.

She starts out making a circle, can’t then circles back. Meaning a very short semistraight line before she puts it down.

Money quote: “There isn’t a chance in hell that all Americans will get herded into a corral of cashless, digital currency that amounts to financial castration.” Too late, Jimbo, it is already (for the vast majority of people) a done deal. They have the technology to force cashless now that Mom &Pop businesses are pretty much driven out. Mom & Pop landlords will go to the wall, relieved of their property in return for a deposit of cashless currency into their account.

Oh, it will be fun to see how inventive Americans can be at trading when all currency is digital, but it won’t be enough to move the needle, except for entertainment. People will grumble and participate right up until the whole shebang falls apart completely. That will be awhile. Years, not months, and likely measured in tens.

What will be heartbreaking is the depraved trades that will soon be the coin of the realm: Trading sex and degrading, humiliating behavior/performance for goods and services. It will get worse from there. The worst instigators will be the petty government officials, and the most predated will be the most unfortunate. Black, brown, female. Remember that when some creep starts telling you how nice it will be when the dirty cash is a thing of the past.

indeed, .9 of all dollars are simply digital ledger entries.

“Years, not months, and likely measured in tens”

you sure? communist regimes are clinically efficient at instigating and enforcing shortages and famines.
