Bring it on

Yes, motherfuckers, you

I suppose it is safe to say that in this neck of the woods, it is commonly understood that there will be another massive push for totalitarian control over all of our lives in the near enough future. It is only a matter of when it will be set in motion, and what will be the ostensible reason given to the public. Things haven't been going so well for the narrative-shaping pseudoelites:

• Only raving lunatics¹ take COVID seriously anymore. I know, I see them too, and every single one of them is one too many. What is easily overlooked though, not least because it reminds us of a somewhat saner world, is something we didn't know we were going to be glad about at this point just two years ago: that the overwhelming majority of people have by now voted with their feet — that is, their naked faces and rolled-down sleeves — and keep doing so day by day in the face of those who appear to be geared up and excited for a 2020 rerun.

• Ukraine's military defeat, as well as its tragic depopulation and ruin, is a done deal and the USA looks like it's about to perform its one move for these kinds of situations: dropping Ukraine and leaving it to its misery. Decades of transparent NATO provocations of Russia, coupled with insincere promises given to Ukraine, have culminated in one and a half years of hellish bloodshed, the obliteration of the country's infrastructure and severe territorial losses for Ukraine with not a single stated Western aim achieved. I suppose the arms sales were enough to make "the price worth it", as they apparently say.

• Israel's genocidal retribution against all Gazans is immensely unpopular in many countries despite being a direct response to barbaric crimes on a massive scale. Note that in this instance, there doesn't even appear to be a coherent narrative pushed on the public — instead, it appears that coverage of this catastrophic conflict is intended to divide us, keep us scared of each other and destabilise the promising new media landscape.

• This one's a bit of a stretch, but people may even be beginning to notice that Westerners' ideas about the Earth's climate will not be sufficient to keep rapidly developing nations from emitting lots of CO2 in order to become less miserable.

To be clear, I do not wish or hope for any political aggression against the population to materialise. It is just clear that it will — it has to. Historically low levels of trust in legacy media and politicians, the overall rather spectacular failure of intense efforts to censor and discredit honest voices, as well as truly game-changing developments in media² will lead to a better-informed critical³ mass of dissidents, constituting an unprecedented challenge to manipulators. Pretty sure they know this too.

Thus, it is my contention that we should buckle up and embrace the next round of the carousel from hell. Let them throw their next current thing at us and see if we truly are better prepared, because we need to be and we need to know if we are.

Let us not let disagreements about individual topics, however important, get in the way of working as a distributed, decentral and diligent résistance that is the only thing that Leviathan has to fear.

If it is cyberterrorists, do not submit to CBDCs.

If it is climate lockdowns, do not follow the orders you're given.

If it is Marburg virus or Ebola or some such, do not accept any countermeasures.

Above all, let us keep working hard for a better way of living together, informed and skeptical and ungoverned by globalist ghouls. Perhaps even ungovernable.

We needed the evil to have something to push against. Now we have pushed, and we have grown stronger. Evil will have to do better next time. Let's see if they can.

1. For the purposes of this discussion. I do not actually mean to dehumanise the victims of military-grade manipulation. And I still care for them, too, no matter how unsalvageable some might turn out to be.

2. In case you missed it: Independent podcasters have much larger audiences than any legacy media outlet, and it will prove rather difficult to coordinate or censor podcasters. There's substack, too.

3. In both of the salient senses of the word.
