The alt-right boys are fond of talking about the various red
pills and how their issue is the “ultimate red pill.” They are not entirely
wrong. People are willing to accept some things more than others. All of us bob
around in an ocean of agit-prop, pumped out by the people that rule over us.
That is, though, the ultimate red pill. All the stuff we believe about
democracy, our political order and the intentions of the people who rule over
us, is mostly nonsense. Our ruling class is no different than any other in
human history.
Steve Sailer is fond of talking about the Deep State, mostly
as a way to explain how the people in the ruling class collude with one another
against the interests of the voters and their elected officials. It’s not a
conspiracy, with Ernst Blofeld controlling the world from his secret lair.
It’s more like a community of like minded people, who exist within the high
ground of the society. They hire one another, they socialize, their kids marry
each other and they try to keep elected officials from screwing up their grand
designs.
A good recent example is Alexei Navalny. He is the latest
Russian opposition leader to cause trouble for Putin. He was recently arrested
for trying to stage a protest of Putin’s run for another term in
office. Navalny was just another guy until he spent time at Yale in
the World Fellows Program. Then all of a sudden, out of the blue, he
became a crusader against financial corruption in Russia. It’s not like any
important people in America have connections to Yale. It is probably just a
massive coincidence.
Putin, of course, is enemy number one for the Washington
political elite. That means Mr. Navalny will be celebrated in the American
media, while reliable politicians are sent out to tell us how Putin is the next
Hitler. No one voted for this and no one in the elected class gives a damn
about Alexei Navalny, but the people who were there befor the politicians
showed up, and will be there after they are gone, do care so everyone cares. It
all sounds conspiratorial, but it is just the way countries run, even America.
Another example of this is this story about John
Forbes Kerry causing trouble in the Middle East. He’s telling the Palestinians
to not cooperate with Trump as he expects a new president within a year. It’s
totally a coincidence that Robert Mueller, the special prosecutor, was in the same prep school as John
Forbes Kerry. In fact, they were on the lacrosse team together. Now,
only a conspiracy nut would think there is any connection here. What are the
odds that these two classmates talk about politics?
Again, it is not some wide ranging, multi-generational conspiracy.
Every society has its elites and those elites control the state. For
example, twenty-two families have controlled Guatemala since 1531. Another
twenty-six families have married into this core group of elite families. The
result is one percent of the population, the descendants of the Conquistadors,
has controlled the country for over 450 years. It’s why their political elites
tend to look like Old World Spaniards, rather than the indigenous Indian
tribes.
In the case of America, year after year our elite colleges turn
out a new crop of boys and girls from the best families. Many go into
government, some go into media, others go into finance. Most go onto live
self-actualizing lives in the top floors of American society. Their parents and
friend’s parents help them along wherever they land. If it is government, they
bounce from assignment to assignment, eventually landing in one of the Senior
Executive Service positions. Or even better, a presidential appointment.
What does this all mean?
It means elections don’t matter all that much. Sure, getting
Trump rather than Clinton is a big deal, but that’s just an exception to the
rule. Clinton, Bush and Obama were pretty much the same guy. Their
administrations were stocked with the same cronies that stocked the other
administrations. Maybe they had slightly different ideas on how to sacrifice
white Americans in the service of Israel, but otherwise they were on the same
page on the big stuff. The people voted and then the people in charge ignored
them.
Of course, this means those super-Progressive women are crazier
than you think. These women, walking around thinking they are revolting against
the patriarchy, are actually the vanguard of its defense. The proof that
liberalism is a cult is that the members are sure they are a revolutionary
vanguard, defending the status quo against the general public. That’s a degree
of madness that exists only in mental hospitals and revivals. It’s why there is
no reasoning with a Progressive. They have descended into madness.
It
also means changing the current trajectory of the nation is not happening at
the ballot box. As Steve Sailer noted today,
the people in charge have gone insane. The orgy of anti-Americanism,
particularity the hatred for whites, is a group psychosis. Fixing this is not
going to happen with elections. It changes when the ruling class changes and that
probably means the swankier parts of Cloud Country will experience car bombs,
IED’s and assassinations. One Arthur Bremmer is worth an election full of
ballots.
