Ya know it’s crazy, but the moment I logged off Xitter and stopped listening to people whose entire livelihood relies on ad revenue and super chats from doom posting, my political outlook got a lot better. Nvm that most of these people are essentially mad at Trump for NOT being an all-powerful dictator. It’s retarded.
It’s insane how checking Xitter daily seems to trap me in some sort of doom fog. People do nothing but complain but things are a lot better now than they were in 2017.
I remember back in 2017 (when Twitter was still good) a mutual admonishing the doomers by saying « you don’t think we know how bad it is? What’s the point in calling attention to it all day? There’s fun to be had and progress to be made ». Just seems like that attitude totally went out the window when people were allowed to make money off their doom spiralling
This nonstop complaining from those on the Right about alleged failures of Trump seems more evidence of the third-worldification of our sphere. I’ve noticed this pattern abroad and with third worlders in America. Their countries are so broken with low social trust that their default mode is to complain about everything and to misrepresent the situation wildly. I can’t stand it. They never thank a person or show appreciation. It’s never enough for them, and even our Dear President Trump has to deal with this feminine whining and ingratitude. I’ve noticed that they back down as soon as you are cold and methodical in not giving any credence to their BS. I hope the admin takes the same tactic.
Excellent article. The discourse has frustrated me greatly. The energy needed to actually affect change is being sucked out of the right by people who seem to be competing over how much demoralization they can spread amongst their own ranks. I like Auron, but he's quickly becoming one of the worst offenders.
The root issue is the right has no professional organizer-activist class, so people tune out after elections and influencers/media get hysterical to keep their audience engaged. People are drawn to moonbeam solutions, and get mad when they are not enacted, because they have no concept of practical political action, an obscure technical subject, and more importantly there's no easy onramp into organizations that do have an understanding; there is no network of organizations for people to plug their energy into in between elections like there is on the left.
Once again recommending you read Lee Staples: Roots to Power. The people organizing the protests in your city probably read it and it's the sort of thing people would need to understand if we want our own organizer class. Without an organizer class, politics is just spectatorship.
Yes, this is why the left although is arguably just as ideologically diverse as the right they have a much easier time because the organizer-activist class can create constituencies across all of those groups. This is why you can have Antifa and boomer grandmas on the same side against ICE while the right argues whether or not deportations are being done properly.
TPUSA is the closest thing we have to an organizer activist class and there are still people ostensibly on our side attacking them or running cover for the bad actors. I hope Erika and others are able to pursue these people legally for libel and slander, maybe after a few legal judgements they would finally shut up.
Something about the influencer class makes them want to be the one person in charge. Tucker should be financing a wing of the GOP and targeting vulnerable primaries if he wants to affect real change. This is the DSA strategy. Instead he will try a retarded third party and only harm the GOP. The goal needs to be get people in Congress, not be the head of some stupid party
Very interesting how people who need their egos satiated almost always propose some kind of third party where they can have more control even at the expense of their purported long term goals. Musk did the same thing last year.
Very good article. I think what you said about the influencers getting high on their own supply is so true. It’s funny they think have more power than someone like Stephen Miller. Especially when just a few years ago they were all about to get permanently banned online before Elon Musk bought Twitter. They have no real influence. They just have money given from their echo chamber.
P.S. I hope the Pussy Woman hires you. Would be a massive mistake if she didn’t.
Auron really needs to stick to his book reports. The only explainable reason for the cacophony of incessant whining on X from him and many members of the “influencer class” reaching the current crescendo is demoralization or selfishness.
Bad elements of the GOP hostile to Trumps agenda are being primaried, record high deportation number, mass deportation going from a fringe idea to normalization, executive actions and judicial blows against DEI, and countless other things that if in 2016 you showed the average RWer they’d be in a state of positive disbelief. This should be cause for celebration and although constructive criticism could be helpful, the current discourse from many is outright harmful.
Auron truly needs to stay in his lane. He’s too “smart” for his own good (largely just irony or fed posting but with an expanded vocabulary) and is trying to drag the tent down upon us when he finds out he’s not the leader.
I find that this delusionality, negative thinking, and catastrophization is most akin to the darkest impulses of transgenders. We, of course, joke about trooning out, but there are really quite sobering parallels between the absolute despair of a troon observing the world they’ve created for themselves and a retard poaster doing the same for their own fantasy. I am fearful many of these people, and particularly those inflooenced by them, may actually engage in physical self harm or actual suicidality because of the “If you genuinely believe nothing remotely possible can make things better, why not end yourself?” conclusion that such deeply malformed thinking often naturally leads to, especially when the walls close in and the perceived influence bux start to dry up.
The text to speech lady is the best thing ever. I enjoyed this article while out for a lovely stroll. Please bros, if you feel the need to chimp, go for a walk.
I've been watching some new movies and even writing reviews on my substack. one Night Only is a bit goofy but enjoyable. I've Cream Man is total trash. If you want a good classic watch Ace in the Hole. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer!
“It is not unwillingness to oppose the enemy,” Governor Magrath informed him from threatened South Carolina, “but a chilling apprehension of the futility of doing so which affects the people.”
I really like this quote, along with J.E.B. Staurt's "Believe you can whip the enemy, and you've won half the battle", I think they paint a good picture of the vast importance of maintaining group morale and why attempts to demoralize should (and historically have been) be dealt with extremely harshly
My current strategy is to try to avoid getting mad. Try to avoid matching insults to demoralized people and just state the truth, and state people are acting in bad faith. Directly tell people that they are acting like they are mentally ill. Take hyperbolic statements literally. Ask them how to do that. Ask what the implications would be if they tried that. Tell them to ask Grok to answer the basic factual or structural gaps between what they call for and what is logical and possible.

The ungratefulness is so tiresome. I’m so sick of these people constantly moving the goalposts to allow them continue to whine for clicks.

110% agree with the headline and by line. Forgot to read the article but the premise should immediately be made national policy by dictate.
Nice of Tucker to drop Hunter Biden interview announcement to drive this home

I’ve seen people especially within the UK retard right actually blame miller for the “lack” of deportations
The “We Just Start Making Shit Up” Right
Fantastic article as always

"Tell them to ask Grok"
Great stuff on the most important topic.
Madman internationally vs domestically was a key distinction.
Trump 2 is Apocalyptic in that it’s revealing much of the commentariat as giant normies.
😱
When I advance my call to abolish the legal system or whatever it’s in a respectful manner truthed directly to Donald Trump’s Truth Social account.
