Dirty Secrets by James Howard Kunstler
Kunstler is one of my favorites. This is an excellent article.
This is an excellent article. I highly recommend the whole thing. The epigraph to the article is this:
The average Democrat knows the Biden family is profoundly corrupt and they simply don’t care…. Sam Harris spoke for all of them when he said it wouldn’t matter if Hunter’s laptop was packed w/pictures of dead kids.

Here’s a taste from the article. This is the opening paragraph:
This is the dirty secret of our time: the device that the Woke / Progressive elite used to finally get rid of Donald Trump — Covid-19 — shoved them over a cliff Wile E. Coyote style. And now, as they freefall off that cliff, the supposed antidote to Covid-19 — getting vaccinated — is blowing up in their faces, again, Wile E. Coyote style. The elite now have to wake up every day and wonder if the vaccines they rushed to get will end up killing them prematurely. This is what has finally driven them crazy. And, of course, crazy people will do crazy things: like destroy their own country.
Check the whole article. It’s worth the read.
Buy the book: I'm Nobody. Who Are You? Can We Save the World?

This article also appears on my website, The Asylum. The website also has several things that are not possible to do on Substack: The World Economic Forum Members Reference (thanks to Dr. Malone), Red State/Blue State reference showing Senate and House percentages by party affiliation, quotes, a large resources section, a robust search feature and some other things unique to the site: quizzes, word games and leaked communications. These latter three are satirical and funny, at least in my mind, but you'll have to be the ultimate judge on that.
That was indeed an excellent article... I wasn't aware of JHK... Thank you!
Yup.
That they don't care what people on their side do is paramount to understanding a bitter truth:
There is no third position. There is no compromise. There is no middle ground, being the bigger man, being magnanimous, or anything like that.
By ignoring the corruption of their own, they have chosen to make any of the above impossible.
Most will never acknowledge that this is so, because it leads to a very uncomfortable place: if your opponent is like that, you have only three options left:
The use of force - naked, raw and purposefully directed violence to make them comply, or:
Try to avoid and evade them, move away from them and having no association with them, or:
Moving to a nation not yet under their influence.
Individualists always choose options two and three, which is why individualist ideals always loses and are always on the backfoot and retreating. This is because a person belonging to a group-identity (which can be as natural and tight-nit as it is with gypsies, jews and kurds or as artificial and conceited as it is with western woke-warriors) can act without having second thoughts or any thoughts at all: the situation suggests the right cause of action as per the characteristics and ideals of the group. IF: see racist; THEN: screech and assault. End of line.
It's bitter and it doesn't have to be this way, but this is the way it is now. Lone wolves die, pack wolves thrive.
