Sarah Hoyt: A Cultural Revolution in Slow Motion
2017-06-25
h/t Instapundit
I don’t believe in grand historical conspiracies, or in designs that go on over generations. The right suffers from a bad case of "the individualists failed to organize" and the left, by now in their third generation of social dominance, are approaching the sort of behavior and IQ one saw in the last days of the Soviet Union. Or if you prefer, Marxist scientific efficiency has given us in three generations what it took the royal houses of Europe sixteen generations of inbreeding to achieve: an "elite" so profoundly dumb they couldn’t pour p*ss out a boot with instructions on both sides.

Which is why I don’t believe in conspiracies.

I do however believe in guiding principles, in abiding ideas that inform and shape a movement, and in people so completely in communion with the revealed message of "progressivism" that they will do the things that no police force or government could force them to do, were they free.

Hence we get journalists corrupting their craft and honor to be part of secret lists that choose which news to cover and which to ignore. We get functionaries trying to subvert legal, fair elections. And we have the Reeeee brigade leading us through a slow motion Cultural Revolution.

I don’t know who coined "Reeeee" for the sound progressives make when in the middle of a scream fest about some ‐ mostly imaginary and unintended ‐ offense. I know that for several months now all my friends use it, usually when just having dealt with some idiot who keeps yammering on about moon ferrets (or patriarchy. Or white supremacy. All of which have the exact same degree of existence in modern America.)

It’s not that you don’t want to answer the idiot. It’s that explaining there are no moon ferrets gets exhausting, when they immediately change the subject to the moon dolphins or the moon mole rats.

Their behavior is so insane, their on-command ability to jump on anyone or anything who deviates from the now-current party line so absolute, their arguments so ridiculous, it took me a while to realize what they’re doing is the equivalent of Mao’s brigades of aggressive young people fanning out to rural areas to teach the peasants how to think and what to do.

#6  Major Texas Rock solid, powerful conservatives are going to begin making behind the scenes change of heart influences regarding Congressmen and of other DC power centers starting mid week. I will not elaborate but Congress will get off its collective butt as a result fairly soon...

#5  The word "progressivism" implies some movement towards progress, that is an improvement to civilization. Progress sounds good and many people who claim to be Dems buy into it for that reason. It appears to be an euphemism for what is going on. I have yet to see much goodness or improvement of civilization from the Progressives. They will change their name to something else when more people catch on to them.

#3  If you do not believe in the Rule of Law, or any other firm principle, where will you stand when you are the Law?



Then it is open fucking season.

#2  If you do not believe in the Rule of Law, or any other firm principle, where will you stand when you are the Law? Like the conquering Barbarian squatting in the wreckage of civilization you will go from barbarism to decadence in a generation.

#1  I observed the recent patriot rally in Boston via livestream. When Antifa gave up the high ground surrounding the monument, the ralliers swept up the hill and many were shouting that "reeeeeeeeee!" Quite funny
