An easy act of rebellion is this:

Whenever someone "normal" utters support or acts understanding to a stupid but politically correct notion, challenge them. Politely of course, even friendly - absolutely not condescending or holier than thou or such.

Using a local example: here, you have to pay to the council a fee for your sewage-well, when it is emptied. Which is twice yearly, by mandate. If you need more, you pay extra. So far, nothing strange, right?

Well, but what about those like me) who only needs i emptied out every 18 months or so? The rule about twice yearly is based on an average, you see, and not that the well is full up.

What I do is, I simply ask the person I'm talking to (if waste-handling is the topic: stock up on good examples so you have a couple for each topic*) if they think it right that the council can force me to pay for what I don't want and don't need, adding the query "It's as if the think I can't lift the lid and call a for someone with a pump-truck to come empty it out when I need to", this because framing it like that makes the absurdity and unfairness clear.

So far, the only person opposing this is the village communist, a certified party-member who has to respond according to the party line which is that systems geared towards individual freedoms and rights are unfair. You can see him chafe having to do so, because he knows he's wrong but hasn't solved the internal conflict between self-image and actual actions/words of his yet.

One person at a time, we can do it, because everyone we reach who also start saying "No! By what right?" to authority is another soldier for freedom.

*Being a retired teacher, this is home-street for me, but do consider it: it helps avoid the typical crank-reflex of tying everything anyone says to your own hobby-horse topic. People don't listen if they start a conversation about how horrible the war in Ukraine is, and you try to tie it to the WEF and mandatory fluoridation of tap water.

Get a stable of hobby-horses instead, so to speak.

It took technocrats 70 years to burn through 7000 years of social capital.

But they are yesterday's men. At least we are getting to see a pathocracy up close.

Are we ever! Pathocracy: when the pathological minority gain control of the levers of power?

It is worse than that. This substack explains all:

This is key! As enough of us normal people grow conscious of the pathocrats among us, we may yet find ways to "push them off the ice" as Inuit were said to have done with the kunlangeta. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/191873-in-northwest-alaska-kunlangeta-might-be-applied-to-a-man

This is often discussed online. Hunter gatherer tribes had fewer issues with pathological types as they were prone to hunting accidents.

We all know the type. Not pulling their weight and manipulative. We now reward these types.

A brilliant essay. I shall continue to work on my mental moat, and this essay has helped.

We all need one. And mental moats are cheaper than mental laser cannons, albeit less exciting 😎

Thanks for reading.

A pleasure, and thank you for writing it. A mental laser canon does sound exciting!

Not that anyone is fooled

It’s just time for pretense to end

Excellent essay Mr Spiff!

"The changes they have wrought haven’t worked. Their brave new world is a disaster even for them. They are no one’s future."

Powerful words.

Glad you liked. Remember, they have good PR and the entire media behind them. So they look slick. But we judge them by the results.

Continue courageously in sharing your heterodox view of life

You’re rocketing it!

Good try, with good intention, from SpaceMan Spiff! I believe that what he suggests is an important part, and I would love to find such a community with beautiful people to defend effectively, but I do not see it as a sufficient holistic solution, unless the main goal is to liberate us all from these satanists completely!!! Without safety from them, no child will ever be safe enough.

- Why? Well, because the satanists today have the monopoly of violence. They start wars, and will steal our children, rape them, scare them, harvest adrenochrome, and sell their organs, unless we actually stop them completely!!! https://rumble.com/v5rtekz-russia-intercepts-israeli-jet-trafficking-adrenochrome-victims-to-hollywood.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp

So, my suggestion is to form new political parties, with honest politicians and form broad rainbow coalitions in order to get truthful media, real democracy, and justice through just and ethical people's courts!

Lovely stuff as ever. Thanks Spaceman.

This article is something I would have agreed with wholeheartedly before I understood elite theory.

What you see as the elite are merely a middle-management that has outlived it's usefulness. Wokeness will end, but central planning will not. Genderless abominations are an effective distracting puppet to capture your attention away from the true elites.

Trump won the election because the Zionists decided to back him over Harris. The woke will be put away, a new crop of middle-management will be brought in, mass replacement migration will continue, digital IDs and central banking will continue. The JP Morgan floats will feature cowboys and flags instead of homosexuals, and you will go back to sleep like a good goyim. You will be happy to gobble up the slop "freedoms" your masters decide aren't worth taking away from you.

I will be working on the counter-elite, building real freedom through noncentralizeable technology, skills, alternative trust networks, classics-preservation, and true independence. There will always be an elite, but I hope to empower one that does not hate the little man.

We are all well aware of the theatrics at play. But you won't get far with your counter-elite with your disdainful attitude towards others. Your assumption others are asleep while you see more clearly is exactly the kind of conceit the actual elites target to enroll the less able in their schemes.

So spare me the notion I am asleep while you get the real forces at play. Again, it is smugness they use to identify the midwits who make up the middle managers you mention. Less arrogance helps us see more clearly.

You are correct serious forces are at play; the rest is a pantomime to convince the masses. But I also sense it is coming to an end. It is failing, and a changing of the guard won't help.

I pay a lot of attention to Academic Agent on this: There will always be an elite, and the current elite have decided to sacrifice their woke-underlings on-mass to placate the rising conservative backlash against their worst eccentricities. This allows the conservatives to feel like they've won, and stop fighting.

Trump won because the elite decided to back him. They decided to back him because they figured they could divert his energy away from what actually matters to them: the foundations of their power. When the JP Morgan floats are flying US flags, covered in men dressed like cowboys, and playing patriotic country music, will you recognize that they are still your enemy?

I follow AA too, and I agree with his take on the elites, including the competing elite groups.

Most are indifferent. They'll take what they can get. But my belief is globalist elites of all stripes are finished. Their goals are too much at odds with reality. They have become a tired aristocracy, not an elite as such.

Yes they will cling to power, but that won't help them in the end. I am not sure what will replace them. A period of chaos seems more likely than anything.

And the masses never understand anything. If they did they would stop voting.

Between the Brennan/Obama spying on everyone on Earth and the government/media success at supporting the government lies while suppressing truth, we are being led into a 3rd World War by AI and One World Government fanatics. It may be time to invest in NASDAQ and to invest heavily in Truth Social. In the near future, it may be the only legal and safe way for patriotic Americans to learn what is happening in the world.

I do not think WW3 will happen. I think things will deescalate soon, and I certainly hope so.

Also the clamp down on free speech will not succeed. The demand is too high. I think attempts to control the narrative will just accelerate the demise of the clowns currently running things.

I suspect that Trump and Putin will come to an agreement and Zelensky will end up with a golden parachute in Miami. It has been many years since John Brennan lied to congress about our government's spying on EVERYONE. 1984 is a kid's game compared to Obama's.
