The Left: Scarier Than You Think

“No, I quite approve of terror, arson, murder, any tool that serves the revolution.” – Nicholas and Alexandria

The Russian Revolution had big goals:  they aimed for the Tsars.

In last week’s post about the Woke Military driving out the obviously patriotic Lt. Colonel Lohmeier (Woke Military Kicking Out (More) Officers), I replied in the comments:

“I hope that they start recruiting from mental institutions, prisons, and inner-city Minneapolis.”

This was actually an attempt at a joke – it’s a riff on a line from Baseketball, the 1998 Zucker Brothers/Trey Parker/Matt Stone movie which is a staple around our house on Saturday nights.  The original line from the movie is:

Continued expansion diluted the talent pool, forcing owners to recruit heavily from prisons, mental institutions, and Texas.

When they film a post-apocalypse movie in Detroit, they have to use CGI to repair buildings.

I didn’t use Texas, because I like Texas and Texans, so I picked Minneapolis because I think it’s on its way to becoming a quaint “Detroit on the Mississippi” where the primary source of amusement is Thunderdome Friday nights.  Large Marge, a frequent commenter, called me on this quip (edits only in formatting):

A)  Military recruits from prison

I am a former Corrections Officer.
I worked at three penitentiaries . . . including a max.

Some of the most intelligent individuals are prisoners.  The most intelligent of them are organized and exceptionally efficient in the use of violence and intimidation.

Although better people than me might question their primary loyalties — gang/club? or Constitution? — I would expect them to continue to hone their adaptive skills in a military setting.

In fact, I would anticipate them quickly establishing a hierarchy and running the joint in no time… while eliminating slackers.  Anybody they cannot eliminate, they recruit.  No middle ground, no spectators.

Two of my ‘adopted’ sons are also Corrections Officers.  Both are Marines, one was a SEAL.  Intelligent, competitive, dedicated, observant.

Ask around, you may discover your assumptions to be the opposite of reality.
And assumptions can get somebody hurt.

B)  Military recruits from inner-city slums

Happens daily.  Pigment is no guarantee of inbred stupidity or ineffectiveness, however, it is a guarantee of tribal acceptance.

Anybody not in the tribe is prey:

If you are alone, they are five.

If you are five, they are a faceless two hundred in a spontaneous leaderless non-thinking swarm . . . they act, then disperse into nothingness.

Similar to recruits from prison, these folks are effective at violence and intimidation.
Just do not expect complex thought processes resulting in traditional long-term ‘White Collar’ crimes.
Complex planning is not required for crimes of opportunity.

C)  These A and B elements are not exclusive.

Expect cross-overs.

Flyers can ruin your afternoon.

Large Marge is, of course, right in every respect.

The first point is that the general attitude is that all of the Left is represented by the soy-boy weakness we see from the Left’s poster children.  It is not.

I love being around people like this.  I know that I can easily take their wallets and buy myself something nice with their parent’s money.

Leftism is about power, not rule of law.  What does that sound like?  It sounds like a gang hierarchy.  In truth, that describes the rise of most Leftist groups as they head for absolute power.

Need an example?  Joseph Stalin was a bank robber.  He was a kidnapper.  He ran extortion and protection rackets.  Undoubtedly he was a murderer before the Soviet Revolution ever began and he could update his rookie numbers into the big leagues.

Stalin was a thug.  When the Revolution started, he assumed a military command position and rose to prominence because:  he was ruthless and brutal.

Of course, the mincing idiots in the Alberta Young Communist League won’t be anything but grease between underneath the tank treads of the real Leftists.  If they were all that we faced?  The Revolution would be over as soon as the microwaves ran out of power to heat up the chicken tendies the Alberta Communist Party uses for food.

If you work at the prison library, it does have its prose and cons.

No, if the real Revolution starts, we’ll see the same here.  And the Left will recruit heavily from prisons.  How do we know this?  They’ve already started.

  • California is planning on releasing 63,000 violent felons back onto the street.
  • It is now a bigger crime to defend yourself in Leftist states than to rape or murder.
  • Places like San Francisco have made shoplifting under $950 a “free pass” crime where there isn’t any punishment.

As I mentioned in the last Weather Report – the Chauvin trial wasn’t about Chauvin’s guilt – it was a planned political theater telling cops that the last thing they can do is attempt to arrest criminals.  Violent crime increase is the result.

Communist revolutions since the French Revolution have had the effect of bringing not the brightest and the smartest and the most virtuous to power, but the most bloodthirsty.  Stalin himself initiated purges to every possible threat to his authority for just this reason.

So, Large Marge is right on this point.  The people that the Left will put against America won’t be the weak that they put forward.  What they put forward will be determined by ruthlessness.  Say what you want about Stalin, but he wasn’t dumb.  And he wasn’t a nice cuddly grandpa – he left his own son to die in a POW camp during World War II rather than accept the offered trade for him.

Remember, Joe Stalin was great at carbon reduction.

The leadership of the Left will also be determined by another factor:  loyalty to the Cause.  One of the hallmarks of Leftism is promotion to leadership positions of people who would never have been able to reach a leadership position under the old regime.  A prostitute as commissar determining who of the town’s leaders gets shot for perceived past grievances?  Why not?

In fact, it has always been the practice to find those who have failed in life to promote to power in Leftist countries.  The idea is that competence is less valuable than loyalty, and those who owe everything in life to their devotion to the party are bound to be the most fanatical.

To me, it looks like the FBI office smells like cheap aftershave and burnt hair.

By the logic of the Left, Lt. Colonel Lohmeier had to be removed.  He was competent, but he wasn’t loyal, and never would be.  Why do that when there are dozens of Majors that you can promote who have seen the penalty for not being loyal?

On the Right, there is a desire for more incompetence in the forces that may be sent against the American people for the first time in over 155 years, but we may not get that.  The Majors that follow Lohmeier will likely be nearly as competent, but a whole lot more loyal.  That’s the official army.  Likewise, they’ll probably be working along with shock troops as bloodthirsty as the Leftists that performed atrocities in Paris in 1794, Russia between 1917 and 1933, China between 1949 and 1970, and Cambodia in the 1970s.

So, yeah.  My attempt at humor was just that, an attempt.  Large Marge is right.

This is a warning to all American people who love justice and the rule of law:  never, ever, underestimate your opposition.

(And, thank you, Large Marge, for catching my grammar errors so I can fix ‘em!)

Personally, I liked Mr. Wilder’s other post on this fine Spring Day.
It talks about the sorry state of economic affairs, but touches something close to this Detroit boy’s heart.
Vincent Fournier goes by a different name to the masses and the media, and these days he’s more into golf,
than cases of beer before a concert, where his eyelid sockets were made over with black, and he donned a python while onstage. Plus, a bonus track from the old days, with a great beat, besides some interesting lyrics, and a great harp solo. Generation Landslide, indeed, a sign of the times. Way back then, and even more so now. Play it loud.

This is a powerful article! These are what I try to articulate to people who listen. The Donald was just a distraction,a sideshow performance if you will. It is going to get ugly real quick like. We need to stop worrying about a stolen election,and “Q”,and start facing the enemy head on,because if we wait for a war with the left,”we the people” will be slaughtered,and in future history bytes. I know these criminals,and they won’t stop until your little SHTF compound is overrun. No matter how deep in the woods you think you are,that guided missle can go further.

I remember one stanza of the refrain we chanted during our 6 mile runs w/ full gear on Parris Island. It went: “If I die in a Vietnamese ditch, bury me with a Vietnamese bitch.” Crude and ugly. But that’s what war is. So today I’ll settle for “If I die in our Civil War, bury me with a communist whore”.

That’s about it. My problem is being along and if I can’t make it (and I’m to old to start over), then what but who am I fighting for? What I mean is you can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear, or fix stupid.

Cuckservatives are thoroughly cuckservatives. Libtards are thoroughly libtards. What humans are there to fight with? Who in meatspace sees what you see and will fight as you fight? This is not simply mission impossible. I have no family of my own. It’s mission why give a shit?

My only motive is revenge that is righteous in the sense of expressing my manhood once and for all. I know no one I look in the eye gives a shit about what I care about. Sorry if I am venting. This is an existential problem for me. If a country is people and not land, what country is there? What bros before hoes? Your approach is optimal, but I am not sure if I want to work hard enough for the prospect of revenge or if I’ll just laugh like a chill mad man until my extermination like the other hapless bugs around me.

Greetings from “New Normal” Germany!
On April 1, 1933, shortly after Hitler was appointed chancellor, the Nazis staged a boycott of Jewish businesses in Germany. Members of the Storm Troopers (“die Sturmabteilung,” or the “Storm Department,” as I like to think of them) stood around outside of Jewish-owned stores with Gothic-lettered placards reading “Germans! Defend yourselves! Do not buy from Jews!” The boycott itself was a total disaster — most Germans ignored it and just went on with their lives — but it was the beginning of the official persecution of the Jews and totalitarianism in Nazi Germany.

Last week, here in “New Normal” Germany, the government (which, it goes without saying, bears no resemblance to the Nazi regime, or any other totalitarian regime) implemented a social-segregation system that bans anyone who refuses to publicly conform to the official “New Normal” ideology from participating in German society. From now on, only those who have an official “vaccination pass” or proof of a negative PCR test are allowed to sit down and eat at restaurants, shop at “non-essential” stores, or go to bars, or the cinema, or wherever.

Here’s a notice from the website of Prater, a popular beer garden in Berlin:

The French do not share your sense of humor, they still remember the rounding up of the Vel d’Hiv (July 16th and 17th 1942).
P.S.: Vel d’Hiv means Velodrome d’Hiver where the rounding of Jews occurred with the help of many French.
(Just saying).
P.S.: I do believe that the sionist banksters were subsidizing Hitler but I also believe the Jewish Joe Schmoe were victims of that cabal.

I’ve been mentioning your observation about not under-estimating your enemy for quite some time, on various posts. All the fluffs are cannon fodder and useful idiots. The real opponents will be trained, armed and ready. And willing.
And even further, if it does turn into a zombie apocalypse before an actual more-organized armed conflict, there’s a whole lot of really knowledgeable and experienced individuals stuck where its going to be real bad news. When all affiliation disappears and nothing matters except surviving, all the fight-for-freedom BS will most immediately evaporate. Those will be most deadly and volatile people, and a great many of them with combat experience. More than a few have weapons. Lots of weapons.
Conservative and Liberal, to say nothing of all the other –isms, will be discarded about the time the pantry runs dry and there’s no hope of filling it.
Those are only a couple of plausible scenarios. There’s lots more where these came from – the reality around us.

A quick glance through news reports across the country will reveal some serious violence on the local levels unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Daytime drive-by shootings have become a daily thing in my neck of the woods.
Yet people just go about their business, marrying and carrying on just like Jesus said they would. Wonder how the average person sees all this and not realize something serious is going on? And maybe actually believe somebody is going to come along and fix it. Actually there will be a whole lot of crying and anguish when they see just who is coming.

So I was thinking to myself, when they fired Lt. Colonel Lohmeier, coupled with the new recruitment videos – the reason they are doing all of this if to fill the ranks with leftists. Why? Have you ever met a leftist that wouldn’t kill anyone with just a simple order? And the order will be to shoot your fellow citizens. While you can still get a right leaning recruit to do that enough of them will question the order that the “objective” will eventually break down. The left is the most efficient killing machine the world has ever known. Proceed with caution.
