Yesterday's RFK Jr.'s confirmation hearing was a great example of Milei's point of leftists becoming triggered by someone whose arguments they couldn't adequately refute. It was good for them to demonstrate to the public they are screaming witches and pervertedly attracted to children's clothing.
The advantage we had over the forces that the original Yuri Bezmenov warned against is that they were foreign in origin. Thus we could hitch nationalism to opposition. What we face now is the domestic legacy of that which is more difficult. Too many conservatives are still asleep about the threat you document. In fact, the nationalism that served us during the Cold War is now distracting us from international alliances with like minded people. There has been progress of late with the rise in the esteem which we hold figures like Milei and Orban. Musk messing in British and German politics is a positive sign but we need to go further.
I will leave the meme war to you as it is not a talent I have.
"Too many conservatives are still asleep about the threat you document." This is a truism that many on the right haven't come to terms with. It is a sad fact that citizens of this country have been fed misleading "progressive" arguments for numerous years. It is sadder still that an unfortunately high number of our fellow citizens have been subject to an "education" that has left them ill equipped to actually parse facts. This holds true on both sides of the aisle. Thank God that there are now many from both parties awakening to the real threat of the globalists' agenda!
I guess you call me cautiously optimistic, but the voting trends from Trump's election are an example of many (formerly of the left) choosing a new path. I pray for this trend to continue. It's a small awakening to be sure, but it will be harder to lull them back to a content sleep as long as we keep shining the bright light of truth on them.
We got a reprieve but the war goes on. We have seen a renewal of the lawfare that characterized Trump 1.0 focused on the same issues. We will see how that plays out but the Supreme Court is not 6-3 as is commonly asserted but 3-3-3 which makes the outcome of any case random.
And 'principled conservatives' did NOTHING to stop this over the last 25 years. Bastards... All Dubya did was grow the state and finalized the weaponization apparatus that Obama used against us.
Make that 75 years! The "NGO" responsible for the destruction of this REPUBLIC - from WITHIN is none other than the innocuous sounding "COUNCIL on FOREIGN RELATIONS"
whose members include: Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, Susan Rice, John Kerry (And his wife Teresa Heinz), Alejandro Mayorkas, Janet Yellen (& Jerome Powell), Hillary, Bill and Chelsea Clinton, George Soros* (& his son Johnathan Soros), Susan Collins, Amy Klobuchar, Jack Reed, Mark R. Warner, Sheldon Whitehouse, Dan Sullivan, Lamar Alexander, Michael Bloomberg, and Larry Fink...just a few of the 5000 so-called "elite"
"CFR" members - in this nation of some 330 million people, who in reality RULE we the people! ENOUGH of these so-called "intellectuals" and "experts."
Hopefully, President Trump will EXPOSE and OUTLAW ANY "CFR" members from ANY office or EMPLOYMENT in the US federal government - make it a RETROACTIVE law; and CANCEL all "CFR" retirement benefits and perks of those non productive parasites who live high on the hog off the backs of the PRODUCTIVE workers of the USA.
Oh, I almost forgot to list "LONGTIME "CFR" member JOHN BOLTON (the bastard voted for Kalamity Harris).
*George Soros is a NATURALIZED US citizen, who SWORE on the Bible to "UPHOLD" the US Constitution - who has - since 1961 - done MUCH damage to our REPUBLIC via his "World Without Borders" wet-dream..and I hope Trumps' new AG - Pam Bondi - DEPORTS that treasonous asshole! SOROS is beind the "resettlement" of the earths population and INVASION of US sovereignty by illegal immigrants world-wide!
There are many "there are two kinds of people" diametric descriptions, but this particular distinction of yours puts the past five years in unique clarity: we saw the institutional make endless concessions to hypocrisy and mendacity in order to grow their global bureaucratic managerialism, simultaneously exempting themselves of individual responsibility (i.e. encoding oneself as an NPC with zero moral agency – where's the "player"?) They cannot play as that defies systematic designation and requires... instinct!
So while I need a better black tie getup to join the Cruel Kids' Table for our semi-formal counter-revolution comeback, I think for starters we can all leverage our _instincts_ as that's what made us immune to the idiocy to begin with. The instinctual are intrinsically motivated, and not extrinsically coerced. I think of Caleb from Book of Numbers (my paraphrasing), "I don't fear giants, because we have the fear of God in us." Everyone references David and Goliath, but Caleb and Anak is way more epic (Caleb first rallies his comrades, and then sacks a whole city full of giants). Team Blue cowers and worships their many giants. As Daniel Schmachtenberger once said, "Every single classic that has endured for centuries or millennia was written by intrinsic motivation." There has got to be some exceptions (wasn't the Aeneid commissioned? But then again, the Odyssey is way better).
As an oversimplified heuristic, I like to think you can tell most about someone by what they're doing at 5 AM (their "logos" or animus) and what they're doing at 5 PM (their "telos" or reward). What is the logic of their rising, and what is their day for the sake of? The collectivists do not get up before dawn to do their own stuff – they might be driven in the way that a beast is whipped, but they are not drawn ahead "by the god" as Plato describes such internal inspiration and moral guidance "over and above us".
Our counter-revolution begins at 5 AM, get up and do what you are instinctually called to do! I trust innovation and meaningful growth (of businesses, family, culture) will follow. Caleb probably didn't sack the sons of Anak at the crack of noon – I imagine he got up early too.
Your project is expensive. Fortunately, culture is recyclable. Books written 60 years ago can still be read by people who weren't born when they were written. Movies and television shows that were created before 1970 can still entertain people born after 2000. https://rulesforreactionaries.substack.com/p/give-the-gift-of-reactionary-propaganda
I invested in DailyWire and Christopher Rufo over two years ago to dispel the narrative curse of the Leftist mind virus implanted across society before I was born. DM me if you want to know in what I am investing now. Be well, comrades, one and all.
Apparently, more than 350 US mayors belong to this subversive organization. Why? How does that better serve their local community? Yet, there they are and quite possibly going to meetings on the public dime.
I'm not surprise to find Kirk Watson (Austin, TX) on the list as Austin has been run by idiots for over 20 years. Yet, what can we do? The other voters in Austin keep voting these jokers into office.
Thank goodness the Texas Legislature reigns in some of their worst impulses. E.g. making it illegal for TX cities to ban natural gas stoves and hook ups. Austin tried to do that.

"Seize the memes of production" is a great line!

Not too sure about both sides of the aisle. I am worried enough about conservatives and I see little movement among leftists.

Oh, give him credit. He also unbalanced the surplus yielding budget and got us into two useless and destructive wars.

You have to love Milei and his straight talk. Priceless the faces of his interviewers and the Davos crowd in equal measure
And these shit leftists infiltrate the Republican Party… very subtly.
Look at the Republican party in Washington state.
Yeah, I still refer to your great piece about the instinctual and the institutional.

Whereas the instinctual came from all patriotic walks and across the political spectrum (i.e. "crunchy" as MSM calls anyone who doesn't comply; anyone who doesn't inculcate the thought-terminating clichés of central planning).

David, in the Psalms, says… I will awaken the dawn!
Perfect! There you go. Thanks for the reference.

Even after the election I continue to be worried by things like https://www.climatemayors.org/

I'm definitely stealing this.
