Elite attitudes towards democracy are quite simple, really: it can only be called Democracy if it comes from the Langley region of Virginia. Otherwise it’s just sparkling populism.

I am impressed by your passage on democracy. I am not comfortable with "democracies" in which votes cast by the proudly ignorant count as much as votes cast by those who take the trouble and learn something of the issues.

If that is seen as reason enough to call me a fascist, I wear that name lightly. I am in good company.

Mario Draghi's career embodies the futility of democratic politics in Europe: representative government no longer provides the electorate with agency, because everything of substance is decided extra-politically by technocrats. Draghi, like other politicians, cannot fill any substantive function beyond misdirecting the Italian people with promises that he knows the technocrats have no intention of fulfilling. Liberal democracy can no longer integrate the masses into a liberal democratic order, any more than liberal capitalism can continue to integrate the masses via a labour market that increasingly offers casual or informal work. If the age profile of Italy were not so heavily skewed towards the aged, political unrest would simply bring the system crashing down.

The post-Cold War holiday from history is now over. The Italian elite will have to make a choice: do they lead their people or simply govern them on behalf of the USA and the EU? My guess is that they will chose the latter.

What makes you think that people who poisoned themselves over extended periods of time needed the HIV or any other virus to destroy their immune systems? As for “the Trump Administration,” that is yet another example of something not needing any cause outside itself for its complete and utter failure.

Who could have foreseen that a vaginal paroxysm of fear and female neuroses over a relatively insignificant virus could cause such devastation? I'm sure many people here are among the COVID Cassandras. I have a couple shitlib neighbors and I'm very tempted to put up a yard sign that simply states "Your hysterical reaction to COVID is responsible for millions of deaths in the third world." Of course, Black Lives Matter, unless we're talking about famine in Africa.

As to monkey pox, I have a sort of... final solution to this problem. DM me for details.

Lastly, a couple neighbors have taken their Ukraine flags down. I kinda assumed that meant the war was over.

Edit: By the way, Nic, Matt Walsh has a long Twitter thread in which he describes the process of tech companies and governments using information from NGOs that is laundered through regime media in order to create consensus and write new rules. In other words, you've made it. Your central topic of concern is now popular with MAGA Boomers and normie conservatives. Congratulations, and I'm sure the check is in the mail.

If people want growth without inflation then the answer is energy money: the Literal Petrodollar = 1000$ = 1 BOE (Barrel of Oil Equivalent) and the KwH (Kilowatt Hour) 💶 EURO etc etc. this allows growth but with any “Inflation” bending the energy cost curve down- which is how inflation has been kicking our asses since the 1970s.

It allows the blessed governments and elites their endless growths (yes growths) since that is our political economy.

It allows Corporations to keep making private money but on a positive basis that actually helps instead of our current system of credit money and rentier capitalism. < that is our “money” and they won’t let it go, so work with what you’ve got. COMRADES.

It lets the workers go back to work.

It lets us actually dig ourselves out of a global hole of debt with something other than accounting tricks.

Even GREEN aka Environmentalists can get something from KwH money- that something being PAID OFF which is what most of them will settle for (exactly as THE LEFT always needs and needed ready money and was always for sale).

The amounts of energy are limited only by our own idiotic constraints at this point anyway, we don’t even need “new technology” the Solar system and the Sun alone are enough for much electricity, this isn’t new.

We also need to run in the meantime and have a millennium of hydrocarbons in oil, natural gas, coal, biodiesel (like fuggn cooking oil etc) and etc etc.

even Green can get paid.

And Energy money restores money to a store of real value, while bringing endless allies (for the money) and governments can control the production and the alliances and competition for the pie is the conversation we should have, instead of how to manage the decline.

The only losers are the ones set on reducing mankind to a few million souls, living in harmony blah blah - but genocidal people are Hostes Humani Generis in any case.

Is Adderall a better solution than Coke? Never messed with drugs... dunno.

Oh wait I misunderstood

We have an “Adderall Emergency” 🚨🚨🚨

“All of my patients who go to CVS have trouble getting their Adderall,” says Stephanie Zisook, a psychiatrist in Westwood who treats adults with mood and anxiety disorders. “It’s so weird. I’m not seeing that people are having a hard time getting benzos at CVS.” 

If there’s one thing that gets our elites in gear its the precious brood being upset, Karen will get the salts soon enough...

Hmm 🤔

Betcha thats a good market to bet on, China read this stack?

Parents supplying their children with drugs for their own material interests. Surely, a Scourge of God must be around the corner?

It would behoove you to spend some time studying the interplay between pathogens, the human immune system, and vaccines in order to gain a better understanding of the complexity and challenges involved in these relationships, so that, in the future, you will pause before using such offhand statements like "we are better off because of vaccines...".

Between the spreading civil unrest, driven more or less entirely by a global economy collapsing in real time due to elite mismanagement; the nasty blowback from the economic war on Russia; and mass disillusionment with purportedly elected national leaders who transparently operate in the interests of, and were selected by, the managerial technocracy; it really seems like the elite levels of our social order have lost the mandate of heaven.

I wonder how much that has to do with the globalist class having become essentially its own tribe. Everywhere in the West, leadership positions are occupied by people who are self-consciously members of a global class, having much more in common with one another than with the populations they rule over. It's somewhat similar to colonialism, although a closer historical analogy may be the European nobility of the aristocratic era. In either case, rulers who no longer see themselves as organic members of the same society that includes the ruled, but as members of a different group entirely, will be perceived by those they rule over in the same light. No one likes being ruled by aliens, since aliens have a tendency to rule in their interests, rather than yours.
