Civil War 2.0 Weather Report: Misery Index Edition

Guest Post by John Wilder

“False Narrative!” – The Death of Stalin

Not all fairy tales start with “Once upon a time” – some start with “If Joe Biden is elected . . . . “

  1. Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
  2. Opposing sides develop governing/war structures. Just in case.
  3. Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology.
  4. Open War.

I’ve notched the Clock O’Doom up by one.  Tensions have increased, significantly.  The advice remains.  Avoid crowds.  Get out of cities.  Now.  A year too soon is better than one day too late.

In this issue:  Front Matter – The Narrative Collapses – Violence And Censorship Update – New Feature, Biden’s Misery Index – Updated Civil War 2.0 Index – January 6 Goes Full Jussie – Links

Front Matter

Welcome to the latest issue of the Civil War II Weather Report.  These posts are different than the other posts at Wilder Wealthy and Wise and consist of smaller segments covering multiple topics around the single focus of Civil War 2.0, on the first or second Monday of every month.  I’ve created a page (LINK) for links to all of the past issues.  Also, subscribe because you’ll join nearly 700 other people and get every single Wilder post delivered to your inbox, M-W-F at 7:30AM Eastern, free of charge.

The Narrative Collapses

Part of the requirements for Leftism to work is The Narrative.  The Narrative is their story, told in their way.  It is propaganda, and the object is to lead the public opinion ever Leftward, but just a smidge at a time.  The problem, of course is that they lose patience.

I hope everyone had a great Juneteenth!  I’m so glad it’s finally accepted as a holiday!

The Left has managed to use sympathy to convince the public of concepts that are ever more divergent from reality.  Given time, it’s easy enough for people skilled in propaganda to twist public perception 180 degrees.  A similar effort has gone on for decades in the Supreme Court to create new text where none existed, and essentially backstop authoritarianism.

Probably not the point George wanted to make.  Oh, my!

The push too far this time was the kids.  There was a time when teacher contracts included morals clauses, and they could be fired for being immoral.  I recall reading a story of a teacher whose car was vandalized (by other teachers) because their license plate had the (state-issued) GAY three letter combination.  Being gay and being a teacher wasn’t allowed.  Period.

But in the 20’s America, teachers feel it’s necessary to become advocates for their LGBTP lifestyle.  Oddly, parents have an issue with this, because 99%+ of parents aren’t LGBTP, and you have to be an extremely dedicated little Leftist to agree to let your kids be groomed.

Most people aren’t.

It’s amazing how the number of “trans” kids has gone from essentially zero to whole percentage points.  Wonder why?

This is one area of narrative collapse – the economy (see Biden’s Misery Index, below) has proven the old statement correct – when the tide goes out, you can see who isn’t wearing a swimsuit, and Biden is naked.  Ugh.  Sorry.  Bad metaphor, but it doesn’t get any better using Kamala or Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer.

We now see how things are done when the Supreme Court can’t understand what a woman is. . .

This leads us towards Civil War – the Left becomes increasingly upset as their ideology is rejected – note the calls for leaving the Union on the Left since the latest abortion and gun rulings.  If they can’t have it all, and if they can’t control everyone, they aren’t happy.  The mere idea that someone might be free in Oklahoma or Wyoming or Indiana drives them crazy.

And you wonder why propaganda is against homeschooling?

And one last collapse of the narrative

I’m not sure I trust the SPLC to tell me if it’s day or night out . . .

The news continues – though this isn’t violence or censorship, it does show that the idea is growing monthly that people are ready to break up.

It’s weird that celebrities who are protected by people they hired to carry guns don’t want anyone else to have them.

Violence And Censorship Update

You may not have noticed it, since hardly anyone mentions it, but June was Pride Month.  I’m expecting that July is Gluttony or Sloth month?  Regardless, even Elon Musk noted that it was Pride Month:

Only one icon on my phone went all rainbow this year. 

But that’s not violence or censorship.  The biggest story this month was actually a positive against censorship (I think):  Elon Musk has passed the latest test in his bid to take over Twitter®.  This is notionally good.  Musk has made noises in the past that would indicate that he would cease the blanket banning of Right opinions on the platform.

And, Twitter® matters.  While there might be only tens of millions of active users, how often do you see a Tweet© discussed in a news story?  It has amazing reach.

Yeah, that’s pretty much the sound I heard when Elon put out the bid for Twitter®.

New Feature – Biden’s Misery Index

Joe Biden has been the single largest Oval Office failure in my lifetime.  Easily.  How bad is he?

Well, Paul Krugman, the “economist”, predicted the “Biden Boom” – I have proof.

Think he’d like to walk that back?

That’s how it started.  How’s it going?

Yes.  The single worst economic performance of a President in my lifetime easily belongs to Jimmy Carter.  That, for Joe Biden is a “hold my beer” moment.  He can be bad at economics as well as international and social issues.  Heck, under Biden and Carter Afghanistan was lost.  At least Carter could use the bathroom outside of his Depends®.

But it’s not like his problems aren’t self-inflicted.  They absolutely are:

It’s so bad, that even the Normies have it figured out:

Well, maybe not all the Normies.

So, the result is that we have the worst economy since the Great Depression.  I even have the receipts.  I made up a scale that combines gas prices, inflation, interest rates, and unemployment rates to quantify just how bad it is.

It’s horrible.

It’s set up so that if Joe Biden had just not screwed it up since January, 2020, he’d be at a score of zero.  So, lower is better.  You’ll note that it’s not at zero, but rather it’s at 14.  Since it’s dimensionless (it’s based on how much the situation has deteriorated, so the interest rate has more than doubled) the scale on the side doesn’t have a unit.  So we’ll call it a Kamala.

Joe is 14 Kamalas bad.  Which is pretty bad.

Updated Civil War II Index

The Civil War II graphs are an attempt to measure four factors that might make Civil War II more likely, in real-time.  They are broken up into Violence, Political Instability, Economic Outlook, and Illegal Alien Crossings.  As each of these is difficult to measure, I’ve created for three of the four metrics some leading indicators that combine to become the index.  On illegal aliens, I’m just using government figures.

Violence:

Violence ticked downward this month.  I think it has been muted because the Left has kept their dogs on a leash.

Political Instability:

Up is more unstable, and it went up more in June.  I expect that to continue in July.

Economic:

Economic indicators keep falling . . . .

Illegal Aliens:

It set a new record.  Again.  An all-time record.  Again.  The border is, for all intents and purposes, wide open.

January 6th Committee Goes Full Jussie

The January 6th Committee is a joke.  As it can clearly be seen, there was actually no attempt to take over the Capitol.  How can I make that statement?  They didn’t take over.  If there was any actual desire to take over the Capitol, it would have been taken over, and would have been occupied to this day.

The fiction that the Committee has tried to create is a simple one:  that Donald Trump was looking to take over the government through non-Constitutional means.  This was, obviously, not true.  Why?  It would have been the simplest thing for him to do that and cross the Rubicon.  He didn’t.  Trump likes to make deals, and I’ve seen no evidence that he did anything different than, well, be Trump on January 6.

Regardless, it looks like the Committee has nothing.  And never will.

It reminded me of a grandson and his Lab/Pyrenees mix as they would stand/sit at the front window looking at the kids playing on the street.

I have always liked big dogs, but the wife will not have dogs in the house and I insist they be allowed inside, so no dog for me.

Everybody here has more ammo than any of them so no biggie. Just more taxpayer money to waste. Back in the 40’s my Mom was a kid working after school at the Post Office. Every day, the Post Master would ceremoniously get out the WW1 surplus M1917 Colt or Smith & Wesson .45 acp revolver issued to all Post Offices and take all the cash to the bank.

This is only tangentially related to the article, but I found it quite interesting. His conclusions agree with my personal experience of the races. I wouldn’t be a cop in a blue state for any reason.
