LOL Xi

Marxists, Mocking Furriners

Don’t make me laugh, asshole:

Chinese President Xi Jinping said Thursday Beijing and Washington must find a way to “get along” in a message to US president-elect Donald Trump, state media reported.

In his first message to Trump since the former president secured a second term, Xi said “history has shown that China and the United States benefit from cooperation and suffer from confrontation”, state broadcaster CCTV said.

“A stable, healthy and sustainable China-US relationship is in the common interest of both countries and is in line with the expectations of the international community,” Xi said.

He called for Washington and Beijing to “strengthen dialogue and communication” and “properly manage differences”.

Yeah, sure.  Stop trying to invade Taiwan, stop trying to colonize the entire SE Asia area, stop hassling India’s border, stop supporting Iran with arms and munitions, stop vetoing the US in the UN, and stop doing a few other things I can’t remember at the moment (but I bet Trump has a list).

Do all that, and we can talk.  No?

Then fuck you, you Commie shitbrain, and buckle in because it’s going to be a rough ride… for you.

Let’s Hear It For The Pollsters

Elections, Journalist Scum, Morons & Idiots, Numbers & Statistics

I think this little debacle — initially seen in 2016 with Trump’s first electoral victory — can be summed up thus:

So much for them, then:  they were as clueless as all their US counterparts, all of whom called the election as “close” when (barring vote fraud) it was never going to be anything like that.

I know, I know:  everyone tries to hedge their bets in the prediction game, but never so egregiously.  It was obvious to any disinterested observer that they were cooking the  stats by slanted sampling and so on.

One would think that the pollsters would have learned their lesson from 2016, but noooo.

What I want to know is:  why should we believe anything these assholes tell us from now on?

Anyone?  Bueller?

Half-Measures

Anti-Gun Nannies, Rights, The Gun Thing

Here’s one that had me cackling like the Bitch Herself:

Kamala Harris Claims, Without Evidence, that Trump Will Take Away Black Men’s 2nd Amendment Rights

…as opposed to what she wants to do — and has stated publicly that she wants to do it — which is to take away everybody’s 2nd Amendment Rights.

Her polls must have been telling her that she has no support among Black men that she has to resort to this transparent ploy — not that she deserves support, from anyone.

I always thought that the Democrats had plumbed the bottom of the barrel with the inept and inexperienced Barack Obama as their presidential nominee;  but now I see that compared to Heels-Up Harris, he was actually in the bottom third.

Bad Moon Rising

Bad News, Resistance

I saw this meme over at Sarah’s:

Think it may be far-fetched?  Then read this piece by John Davidson:

The outlandish hit piece on Donald Trump published this week by Jeffery Goldberg at The Atlantic, which was immediately denied on the record by all the people who were in the room with Trump, isn’t just a shoddy smear that would never have passed muster in a newsroom 20 years ago.

It’s more than that. It’s part of a larger psy-op to justify mass post-election violence if Trump wins in November, to signal activists to reject the results of the election, to divide the military, and to coax an insurgency out of the radical left-wing base of the Democratic Party and unleash it on American cities.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ shocking remarks Wednesday on the steps of the Naval Observatory should be understood in this light. Citing comments quoted in The Atlantic from former Trump chief of staff John Kelly, Harris explicitly compared Trump to Hitler and claimed that if elected he will rule as a dictator and unleash the military on his domestic political opponents.

“He does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution, he wants a military that is loyal to him,” she said. “He wants a military that is loyal to him personally. One that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States.”

Harris went on to call Trump a fascist, claim he would be a dictator on day one, and repeat a line she’s been using often lately, that Trump will use the military to go after American citizens, using it as “his personal militia to carry out his personal and political vendettas.” She closed by saying Trump is “increasing unhinged and unstable” and that he “wants unchecked power.”

This is not just the normal heated rhetoric that comes out in the final weeks of a close presidential election. This is something else. It is at least a tacit call for violent resistance, for insurrection, and even for a third assassination attempt against Trump.

It’s hard to overstate how reckless and dangerous this is two weeks before an election that Harris appears to be losing. Having staked out this rhetorical ground, what is she supposed to say if she loses the election? How is she supposed to concede? Will she come out and say, “Sorry everyone we tried hard to save America but now you must all live peacefully under the new Hitler?”

She’s not going to say that. She can’t now. She’s going to call for resistance. “Patriotic resistance,” she might call it, but it will be coded as a call for street violence or worse. After all, you don’t just accept a Hitler-like, fascist regime. You fight it any way you can.

So… should we buy into this?  (By “we”, of course, I mean we conservatives.)

Here’s the thing.  When the riots begin after Election Day, which is what Davidson says will be more than likely, but inevitable, what happens then?

Or if nothing happens — Harris probably doesn’t have the balls to call for patriotic resistance, or any other kind of resistance, and if there’s one thing we all know, it’s that the stupid bitch can’t do the right thing, even the right thing as defined by the extreme Left — if nothing happens and all we get is the usual angry marches and looting, BLM-style:  well, we’ve been there, done that and yeah, whatever.

What I do worry about is that during the November-December interregnum  the Left will go after Trump and Vance with actual hit squads (organized perhaps by organized, shadowy Antifa cadres) when the two of them will be most vulnerable.  (Once Trump is sworn in, then he should get full Presidential protection — stop laughing — and the chances of him being actually assassinated will be reduced, although never eliminated.)

And even the Left are making that prophecy:

Americans should prepare for “unrest’ if former President Donald Trump completes the greatest political comeback in modern American politics, Democrats told the Wall Street Journal on Monday.

And if they do… what then?

Understand that if we conservatives try to do something about that violence, in our own peculiar disorganized fashion, the Left will use that as an excuse to say:  “See?  See?  We told you these Rightwng Christian fascists are violent!”

Even worse is that after Trump’s inauguration, when the Left really does go apeshit and when Trump unleashes the National Guard or whatever, our cheers will be completely drowned out by the hysterical screams of the Left about HitlerFascistWeToldYouSo!.

I have to say, I don’t know the answer.  Maybe I’ll just add a couple more mags to the car kit, and let the chips fall where they may.

Qu’est-Que C’est “VUCA”?

Modernism

Paul Collits has written an excellent diagnosis of the so-called modern world.  Here’s how it starts:

Once upon a time, there was a place for everything and everything was in its place. Let’s call this time the 1950s. We had the Tridentine Latin Mass. Eisenhower was in the White House. Churchill made a comeback. Men and women were, well, men and women. The Soviets were the main (only?) bad guys. The enemy was communism. Dress was modest. We had control of our private lives. Our lives were, well, private. Newspapers (perhaps) told the truth.

We had the ‘long boom’. Just about everyone had a job.

There were lots of hideous things that hadn’t even been thought of: the European Union, Bill Gates, wokery, postmodernism, the endlessly revised ‘modern’ Novus Ordo Mass, reality TV, the modern university, human-resources departments, pretend democracy, politicised police, surveillance capitalism, homosexuality-infested British [and American — K.] television drama and lifestyle shows. Make up your own list. Nostalgia has manifold merits.

And then he goes full-bore attack dog on modernism.

The change obsession was born in the 1960s, and there has since been permanent revolution; we have simply found ever new ways of making it worse. This whole farandole neatly covers my lifetime. There is even a word for our current world. Inevitably it is an acronym. And almost inevitably it comes from the US military and has become a business-studies cliché. We now live in VUCA world:

VUCA stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity and is used to help teams and organisations better prepare for, and manage the risks associated with, uncertain situations. VUCA has now been reimagined as leadership with ‘vision, understanding, clarity, agility’. There you go.

Websites like the one linked above, which disputes the military origins of the term, suggest to me the emergence of a VUCA cult in the business world and perhaps beyond that. After all, we are all required to ‘celebrate diversity’ and ‘affirm’ every bizarre sexuality dreamt up, adopt every new version of Windows, get the app, wave our smartphones at machines, kill cash, love antipopes, take lethal injectables, and the rest.

Not only are we told to accept all this as the new way of life; we are enjoined to embrace it. Get with the programme. No room here for William F Buckley Jr’s counterstrategy of standing athwart history and yelling ‘Stop!’

All the things listed here connote ‘disruption’. And, of course, ‘diversity’. For business, this is the new reality, accepted at face value, something to be reckoned with. Nassim Nicholas Taleb (why use just two names when you have three?) of ‘black swans’ fame, has written a book, Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder (2012), on how to profit from the new VUCA order of things. In such a world, the abnormal becomes normal. JD Vance is deemed ‘creepy’ and ‘weird’. Not so Tim Walz (though what’s emerging on ‘Touchdown Tim’ in the alt-media if true, isn’t pretty).

A question for conspiracy researchers should be whether the creation of a VUCA cult and the urging of all of us to just deal with it have been deliberate. Whether the normalisation of the weird and unpredictable is a strategy of confusion that stands alongside censorship, silencing of dissent, memory-holing, doublespeak, ridiculing conservatism, abandonment of both history study and the teaching of critical skills. It is a real question. If it quacks like a deliberate strategy, it probably is a deliberate strategy. See also replacement theory.

Time to turn back the clock, methinks.  Or load up the helicopters, metaphorically speaking of course.
