RULE BY THE RED PILL

      Online 'influencers' of the Vox Day and Bronze Age Pervert sorts have long advocated the supposed necessity of Controlling the Narrative. What that term essentially means is to promote an official Party Line irrespective of its veracity or morality---the old name for this, of course, was propagandizing. The tactic is premised upon the idea that the majority of men are Blue-Pilled Beta Chumps, who have to be deceived for their own good by their Alpha betters. It's a concept that goes back into the New Right's much-admired Golden Age of Mediaeval Europe; although today, technology and dumbed-down schools and media have made its application much easier. In fact, all one really has to do is change a few labels and the media spin and bad ideas that the Left never got away with are embraced and accepted by so-called 'Conservatives.'

      Just yesterday, for example, the White House usurped the authority of a State Governor to deploy soldiers to suppress protesters in Los Angeles. The people were protesting against Federal stormtroopers who've recently been smashing down the doors of homes, schools, churches, and businesses to sweep up people engaged in activities like illegally washing dishes, mowing lawns, and stacking boxes. Only four years ago when the Democrats were doing the same thing under the pretext of a different National Emergency the American Right was outraged. But now that the right people are doing it, such actions are considered wholly justified and necessary. 

     DOGE is another example. Four years ago, when the Biden/Harris Junta was purging the Government under the pretext of rooting out extremism. That was bad; simply changing the ostensible objective to rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse and what are called purges when other countries do it gets a free pass over here.

    The examples could go on. Suppressing protests against our Government's support for a Regime whose stated goal is the extermination of 4 million people makes the Administration the most pro-Christian Government in history. Appointing dozens of Globalist billionaires to positions of power and eliminating any oversight of their activities is draining the Swamp. Weaponizing the Police State to go after political opponents is cleaning up corruption. Allowing States and Big Corporations to impose late-term abortion and homo 'equality' is promoting family-friendly values. Building massive surveillance networks, sealing borders and establishing internment camps at home and abroad is standing for Law and Order. The Executive Branch ruling by decree and intimidating judges and journalists is upholding the Constitution. It's no wonder that the Democrats have shown such little opposition: they're getting everything that they wanted and all they have to do is hand out Kleenexes at Town Hall Meetings to the poor saps who think that their side of the Uniparty actually cares.

    Regarding Los Angeles, Kaelan Dorr posted on behalf of President Trump that “If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem… the way it should be solved!!!”  Neo-Nazi 'Border Czar' Tom Homan, who orchestrated the crackdown screeched on Murdoch's Media outlet that “We’re going to bring the National Guard in tonight. We’re going to continue doing our job. We’re going to push back on these people. American people, this is about enforcing the law.. And again, we’re not going to apologize for doing it. You’ve got your First Amendment rights, but if you cross that line of impediment, or you put hands on officers or destroy property, you will be prosecuted!” Selfie-Queen Kristi Noem---who nominally heads the Department of Homeland Security---paused posting on Instagram briefly to issue a statement too. It was all very reminiscent of the kinds of rhetoric we were hearing about a similar justification for turning the troops loose on protesters just three years ago. 

      Reflecting upon the Ottawa Massacre a year later, we noted here that the same psychological factors and the same tendencies were beginning to appear among supporters of the American Right. In 2023, we noted the results of several polls which concluded that "approximately 57% of Democrats, 63% of Independents, and a whopping 90% of Republicans agree with the statement 'The only way our country can solve its current problems is by supporting tough leaders who will crack down on those who undermine American values.' Four supplementary polls reveal that over half of these respondents actually mean favoring Authoritarian Dictatorship and not merely a decisive leader... The researchers noted that 'Anti-democratic statements are embraced by members of both U.S. parties, but more commonly by Republicans...Perhaps even more notably, nearly half of citizens who strongly support the Republican Party and over a third of those who strongly support the Democratic Party endorse the view that it is acceptable to 'bend the rules' for people like themselves to achieve political goals."

      From such actions as we have seen in Los Angeles and the vile rhetoric and even more disgusting policies coming from the New Right this decade, it is clear that the problem is much more deeply rooted than the relatively superficial issues over Immigration and Congressional Budgets. The results of the 2023 Poll have been borne out, and it has become clear that power for its own sake is what is driving American Political ideology. As an example, one of the leading Red-Pill influencers over the last week called for a sitting Republican US Senator to have his passport seized and be jailed for taking a position on Ukraine contrary to the Administration's; as well as demanding that SpaceX be seized and Elon Musk deported for criticizing the Administration. Both Senator Graham and Elon Musk have supported the Administration the vast majority of the time, but even deviating over Foreign Policy or a Budget Bill draws this kind of reaction.

         We on the Right have got to get ourselves out of this State of Denial and stop pretending that we don't have a serious problem on 'our side' with an amoral authoritarian element. Palliating the truth with rationalizations does not change the fact that we are closer today to a Totalitarian Regime than we were four years ago, and that's saying a lot. What is happening today to immigrants, pro-Palestinian demonstrators, and dissidents in general could happen to any one of us tomorrow.
