Should We Just Let It Burn?

Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter

Should We Just Let It Burn?

My town’s not getting burned down because the rich coastal liberals with “Hate Has No Home Here” signs on their exquisitely landscaped front yards will never put up with that nonsense here in Shangri-Lib. In a very real way, the chaos that the liberals are creating by handcuffing other people’s cops – do you think my cops will ever get the order to stand down? – is not my problem. And, unless you are still living in some Democrat hellhole, it’s probably not your problem either.

So, why again when some big blue city that hasn’t had a Republican mayor since phrenology was the pseudo-science of the day – as quackery goes, head bump interpretation is way less damaging than weather paranoia and flu panic – suffers self-induced ritualized convulsions upon the death of yet another felon should the rest of us care?

But we will care, at least for now, because we are nice people and we think all Americans should live in something like peace and prosperity. It’s hard to get through our heads that not all of our countrymen feel that way. The chaos, violence, and misery that some Americans exist in is actually their choice. It’s a choice that liberals make, and they can make that choice because blue city voters inexplicably elect liberals who choose chaos.

The libs tried giving people money. That failed. Astonishingly, handing people free cash does not magically make things better. Then they tried improving the economies in these places by importing a bunch of foreigners to take all the entry level jobs. Astonishingly, that did not work either. Their current experiment is to make the cities woker by not arresting criminals who make the cities unlivable and releasing the few who are in jail. And – you are not going to believe this – that has also made things worse.

So, even though we do want to help – for now, because eventually there will come a point where non-blue city dwellers just shrug and say, “You’re on your own” – it’s not really clear what we can do gently. About 29 years ago this week, a bunch of soldiers and I tried to make Los Angeles safe again for a few weeks when we deployed in the Rodney King riots. It was quite an interesting time for a suburban guy who never ventured into the tougher parts of South-Central to be rumbling through it with an M16A1 rifle and a basic load of ammo. I got an up-close look at the reality of liberal misrule, though it was largely obscured by flames.

The people of the inner city loved us. They did not dig the LAPD, but they loved the Guards’ citizen-soldiers, particular because many of our troops – my unit was 3rd Battalion, 160th Infantry based in smoldering Inglewood, for people who know the geography – were from the affected neighborhoods. And they took no guff. Many carried their own weapons and (allegedly) engaged in firefights with gang members with their own pieces so they did not have to account for spent Army rounds. The official combat tally was low.

A Salvadorean drug dealer got his head blown off trying to run down some guardsmen at a road block – legend has it that the investigation consisted of some LAPD detectives rolling up, asking what happened, saying “Oh, okay,” then driving away. Also, rumor has it that a fleeing rapist got free gender reassignment surgery with a 5.56mm round. At other times, so it has been said, the guardsmen just beat the crap out of gangsters, who learned not to screw with the Army guys.

The locals were not heartbroken at this, not at all. Of course, this was before cell phones and total camera coverage, but the people were pretty happy about the thugs being driven away for a while. One lady told me how happy she was that her kids could play in the park now that the drug dealers were gone thanks to us. She hugged me, and people fed our troops while on patrol.

Maybe this was not politically correct, but it was sure as hell morally correct.

So, there is an answer to the violence. It’s called law and order. In extreme cases, like riots, it consists of massive, overwhelming force. But that’s a choice too, and one our gutless elite is not willing to make. They’d rather let the body count rise. They could end the murder spike tomorrow by backing the cops and dumping the leftist-bought prosecutors for real DAs. They could shut down riots and gangs and drug houses by simply shutting them down.

But they won’t.

And their constituents are not ready to force them to, not until the violence gets intolerably bad (and the liberals can tolerate a lot), or until the thugs push their luck by pushing into the suburbs and scaring the Trader Joe’s chardonnay mommy set.

Then it’s on like Donkey Kong, folks. To them, dead people in the ghetto are a statistic. Crime in the rich suburbs? That’s a crisis.

It’s all fun and games until it affects the white libs calling the shots. Word was that, during the riots, Beverly Hills – a liberal bastion – had its PD just shut the city off from people of color for a few days. If you had melanin, you weren’t getting in. And don’t hold your breath waiting for the BHPD to be defunded even today.

So, the question is not whether we normal people should just let the cities burn. In fact, we have no say in it unless we mobilize and invade. That’s not happening anytime soon. No, the question is whether the liberal establishment will tolerate this crap, and the answer is that it will until it gets scared. But then, all bets are off.

It’s going to burn anyway. They have their hearts set on it.

If a year ago they shot down 20 of these humps right where they stood, none of this would be happening today. I don’t get it. It’s what was done 50 years ago and it was effective. Force only respects equal or greater force.

There is no reason to invade the cities, but shutting them off from normal society has some merit. Think Escape From New York, for example.

I said almost the same thing… just isolate the cities. Nothing goes in and no liberals come out. Allow conservative families to leave but every liberal and soiboi looking to escape… send’m back. They wanted it, let’m feel the full effects of their decisions.

In a month there would be little left. Bonus points, bill scumsuck’n gates would get his depopulation wish come true… Bad news, for him, is those left would be hunting the scumball.

Many parts of cities have been utterly destroyed by these sub-humans. Take the small city 30 miles to the south of myself as an example. In the late 60s and early 70s there were very few blacks and other assorted mud people. They mostly lived in a public housing project. As they multiply like rats and roaches,they became too large for it to sustain them. They destroyed it to the point of having to be torn down.By this time most of the industry that was there had left,and the downtown area stores had moved to malls. Their first stop was to an area of the city that was once(75-100 years ago) where the upper-middle class lived. When the industry and stores left,they followed. These were mostly Victorian-style homes. Very well built and maintained. Now like most places they live,it is destroyed. Whole blocks are vacant. While others sit abandoned or burned out. Still multiplying they now have moved where the white working-class once lived,and right on cue. They are destroying that. These people cause nothing but chaos and destruction where ever they go. So let it burn.

Where blacks go …. things often turn to shit.

So solly if that’s racist. It is also true.

This is correct Brian, at least in theory. The thing has gone so far, and now when people yell at me > “where is your mask fool, do you want to kill us all ?” I say ” No too much work, just make sure you take your RNA injection” .

Islands are far easier to isolate than land-locked cities.

It’s like reading about some foreign country that has all these miserable and mentally ill people rioting.
The local officials and cops and citizens putting up with this crap is astounding.

It is very easy to see what they will not tolerate. And one of those things is Christians (if there are even any left, which I doubt), and another is Caucasians. They will tolerate mud people murdering us and destroying what we built, though.

Really America is 110% dead and destroyed, and it is just a matter of Whites realizing it and taking their destiny back into their own hands.

The only thing left of America are the pockets of remaining people who ever knew what it was. That and the superficial bones. I just try to be stoic.

The only problem I see is that once they’re done with it they’ll move on to another city. But sadly there are many people in America with cranial rectal inversion who aren’t seeing the problem yet. Until they do and denounce democrats, socialists, and communism the country can’t turn around.

The symptoms of heterogeneity will never be solved by ideologies. Ideologies are false constructs that should not have any relevance outside of academics. The challenges of humanity are too great to be boxed in by limited thinkers. It will never be possible to achieve any consensus when the people have no uniformity at any level whatever.

Homogeneous nations rise from the ashes of empire.

Living in the suburbs of a blue city with a blue wife and many blue friends, I think I have a pretty good handle on the blue thinking about blue city problems. When I ask city dwellers what they think of their beautiful Portland parks turninginto homeless camps with tents everywhere and needles littering the playgrounds, they respond that these poor people have nowhere to go and we need to accommodate them.

When I mention the tents linking the freeways in Portland and trash everywhere, they say it isn’t that bad and only occurs in a few spots. It doesn’t. It is everywhere, the city blues have just refuse to notice.

Then I advance the conversation to antifa destroying businesses in Portland and turning it into a city-wide graffiti art exhibit. The blues response is that the country needs to change and change can only occur with this type of activity. In the words, riots are good and antifa is a positive influence on our society.

Even my blue wife scratches her head upon hearing this philosophy and wonders if maybe Oregon should not have legalized pot. There is hope for her.

So the best thing for us normals to do is watch from the sidelines as the blue cities turn to shit. If people who live in the cities don’t see the problems, the problems cannot be fixed.

Jeezus, if I had a wife that blue I do know what her next Birthday Present would be ….

That was back before they thought that they could hide their communist leanings by switching which color was used for their party. Didn’t fool anyone.

Gotta love sentiment – “I couldn’t get enough so I had to self-destruct…” eh?

The Oragutan

My first visit to LA was during the RK riots. It was for a software conference in Irvine; I had to fly out of Toronto to LAX. An announcement came over the airport PA, saying the flight was delayed until after Mayor Tom Bradley’s speech, since LAX might be closed, at least to international travel. At that point I met a relative of Martin Sheen (his half-brother), who was returning from a tour of western Canada on my flight (he did a hypnotism show). He had just arrived and missed the announcement approached me and asked what the announcement was about. The flight eventually left, late, but we sat with each other on the plane, cranked back a few drinks, and though not much more about it. Until we landed….

Himself living in Irvine, had offered me a lift from LAx to Irvine courtesy of his wife who was picking him up, but once the SHTF she was scared to leave the house. “They are rioting in Long Beach, they are rioting everywhere!” she told him by plane phone (remember those days?). We landed into a deserted and shut down LAX and scrambled for over an hour trying to find a cab to take us to Irvine. by the time we got there it was 3AM. He crashed in my hotel room.

The Sunday after the conference, he offered to take me around the town – we went to his yacht club, then to Venice (muscle beach). The entire boardwalk, usually hosting tens of thousands of people on a Sunday afternoon, was completely shut down with national guard troops positioned on every street corner preventing any crowds gathering. It was shocking and surreal. When we then went to visit a friend of his in Beverly Hills, he graciously offered his assessment of the crisis to this naive 20-something Canadian visitor, one that I distinctly remember to this day.

“This is not actually about race” he explained. “There are lots of well educated, accomplished blacks and latinos that I am proud to call friends and neighbors, not just in this community (Beverly Hills) but throughout the greater LA area. But what you are seeing here, what you have witnessed during your visit, is not a result of this verdict, nor of racism. This is actually a cultural war. This is the uncivilized vs. the civilized. Those that are committing the willful destruction of property and inflicting violence on innocents should not be considered fellow citizens, nor should they be considered civilized. They are animals”

The problem with Republicans is they will accept choas from the rich, but not the poor. And like Democrats, they refuse to admit the negros are completely incompatible with anything beyond Stone Age civilization.

Simply hard to look upon some of the folks pulling the strings and not think that they no longer behave in a manner that is compatible with civilization, freedom, liberty, peace or continued existence.
