The Derek Chauvin trial came to a speedy end yesterday with the jury finding him guilty on all counts. What this means is they thought he intentionally caused the death of George Floyd and unintentionally caused the death of George Floyd. To a normal person, this makes no sense, but it is another reminder that America stopped being a rational society a long time ago. In a sensible society, this trial never would have occurred, because George Floyd would never have existed.
Lots of people were jubilant over the result. They do not know why they are happy, as they lack the ability to reflect on their own actions. They just know that their tribe won and that means they should be happy. That is the nature of liberal democracy. It is always about “who” and “whom” because everything is partisan. Those people celebrating are not happy for themselves. They are happy because they believe their enemies, real and imagined, are unhappy at the result.
It is not a lot different than a blood feud. When one side kills a member of the other side, it is not about righting some wrong or solving some problem. It is about adding more blood to the feud. That is how the Left sees white America. It is the people they hate and anything they can do to harm a white person is automatically good. Most of those people celebrating know nothing about the law, policing, crime, or the people involved in the incident. They just know Chauvin is white.
Of course, the other side of this, the sensible white people trying to make sense of what is happening, are not happy. Many were willing to be reasonable and meet the other side halfway on this. Maybe Chauvin was wrong or made a mistake. Maybe he should face some sort of punishment. Maybe he needs to be made an example so other cops are more careful. They thought that was the point of the system. The jury would do the right thing and find a suitable compromise.
Those sensible white people are waking up to the terrible reality of America. The system they have spent their life trusting is now as irrational and deranged as those people celebrating in the streets. America is not the land of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and the other Founders. It is not the land of Abraham Lincoln. It is the land of Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez. They not only run the country, but the country also runs by the deranged logic of their minds.
For sure, many will rationalize what happened in order to stick to the old civic nationalist slogans they love so much. “This will be overturned on appeal” or “we have to take our country back from these Democrats” will get a lot of play. This is behavior of people in a cult when the tenets of the cult are disproven. Instead of accepting that beliefs were false, they internalize the disconfirmation into a justification for a more intense commitment. These people will decide to vote harder.
The parasites in Conservative Inc. will fund raise off this, telling those people desperate for answers that they will fight those liberals on their behalf. In a bankrupt society like America, every event is a chance for the grifters to grift a little bit more. You can be sure the conservative talk show hosts were popping champagne last night when the verdict was announced. There is nothing better for the conservative grift than losing, which is why they have been making sure to lose for generations.
Many though will let go of that last reed that was tethering them to the old America they grew up believing was real. Many will go through the stages of grief, maybe skipping to step three by this point. The realization that this is not their country and they are now second class citizens will not bring them comfort. It will free their mind of the frustration of believing in a myth. They will quit Red Team and start the process of looking for a new team, which will lead them to this side of the great divide.
This is the reality of a cultural revolution. The people smashing the system in the name of the revolution are beyond reason. It takes time for the rational, the people who make society function, to come to grips with it. Little by little, one martyr at a time, people do come to grips with this reality. You can be sure that every white cop in America is having the conversation with his wife right now. He may not know what to do, but he no longer sees himself and his job the way he did not so long ago.
It is frustrating, of course, for the people who have been on this side of the great divide for a long time. How is it that white people cannot see what is happening and where this must inevitably lead? The fact that no one was born on this side of the great divide, and we all made our own journey, is easily forgotten. For those on this side, this is the new normal and it is hard to imagine thinking any other way. The other side is a foreign country populated with people living a delusion.
That is the real test in these times. Those who have opened their eyes and see what is happening have to avoid being bitter about it. The job at hand is to wake up as many people as possible, ignore those who cannot open their eyes and help those staggering into the sunlight adjust to this new normal. There will be many more martyrs in the days ahead. Every war has them. The challenge is to give their martyrdom meaning so that one day, there are no more martyrs to our cause.

First take the ‘magic’ out of the word ‘Racist”! The only response is; ‘Fu$k You’. End of discussion. Any cop that rolls on a ‘black call’ is an idiot. They will eat each other quickly.
“Is this a call for us to attend a violent crime in progress in a black neighborhood? It is? I will get there as soon as I finish my donuts.”
The – ONLY THING – that mattered in this case was that:
A – Floyd was Black and Chauvin was White. Nothing else mattered – PERIOD!!
Imagine if:
B – Floyd was Black and Chauvin was Black.
OR
C – Floyd was White and Chauvin was White.
OR
D – Floyd was White and Chauvin was Black.
In any of these combinations B, C, or D – nothing would have happened. There would never have been riots; none of this would have ever made it to the news. And Chauvin would never have been charged.
Right. Who is right not what is right is the operative principle.
Reminds me of the OJ trial. Dude brought a TV to work to watch the verdict at the place I worked. Lots of blacks in the office mixed with whites. When the verdict was read the blacks started whooping it up. Most of the whites were mortified. The blacks knew he did it. But they took pleasure in the fact that he got away with it, and it wasn’t because he killed another coon. People need to wake the fuck up.
It is not the land of Abraham Lincoln.
BZZZT! Wrong, but thanks for playing. Lincoln didn’t personally care about what happened to blacks, but used them to promote his war against the CSA – making him a role-model for today’s ProgTard Dhimmicrats, who use blacks for political purposes and don’t give a shit about what happens to them after they’ve been used.
Hands down the most evil politician in American history.
Chauvin gets no sympathy from me. If he is any smarter than Floyd, he would have retired early or (much better) have found a different way to make a living a long time ago. So he is fucked. Oh well, life sucks, then you die. That’s the way it is, like it or not. Think about that, all you TBP cops.
We have let this happen. The TBP crew are a nice, hardworking bunch, no doubt about it but… we have looked away from the horrible mess that this once-great nation has become because we were all plenty comfortable. We hoped to avoid the shitstorm that was developing right in front of us. We have bitten our tongues, cluck-clucked, bitched, pissed, moaned and still stayed in that shithole state (Admin…) or pulled for the lesser of 2 evils, or gone all shit throwing monkey (Stuck…) when we might have done things like withdrawing children from schools, getting out of banks, or at LEAST not using Amazon and Google. As it is, we are reaping what was sowed and fertilized.
Oh well. Arbeitet Mach Frei!!
Firm grip on reality, Brian.
My advice would be to leave Admin out of your rants. You clearly do not know him, because he is apt to flay your ass, which you richly deserve for that bullshit attack on him, you sorry piece of shit.
“Feud” is a good way to describe what’s going on. People in a feud don’t use the laws to get revenge. With cops gone, it’ll be a piece of cake to take out the crazies.
National Social Justice Democrats have a Progressive Insanity Disease like Mad Cow. Some individuals go Postal early, but the whole Useless Idiot swine herd eventually goes off a cliff weighed down with tons of phony-science and warrior issues. When one of the many Black Swans circling in a holding pattern finally triggers TSHTF event, the Pampered Blue/Black Urban Jungles will probably be the first areas to go off like that warehouse of Nitrite Fertilizer in Lebanon. White Penthouses on the other side of town will look like bombed out areas of Germany after WW2. I dare say that any survivors fleeing the burning dumps like rats to safety in Fly Over Country won’t get very far. Remember Nicole Simpson and Derek Chauvin. Come out of Her, My People.
It is remarkable how many of us see things the same way. The identity factor seems to be white consciousness: https://odysee.com/@oldschoolcounselor2018:0/newnations:7.
On point. Lock and load.
The US is “not the land of Lincoln.” Typical conservativism tipping the hat to Saint Abraham. The US is the land of Lincoln as he seized dictatorial powers that were never relinquished and gave rise to the leviathan government that we now have, including militarized, aggressive policing used as the muscle for the cabals that run the cities, states, and nation.
