I'm in complete agreement with your analysis here. Let me start the discussion of how to survive these times. My strategy:
1. Get out of the city. Find a small agricultural town that is economically expanding and still has strong culture. If possible live in the rural area outside town.
2. Gain as many skills as possible that can provide gray market work. Carpentry, plumbing, concrete, etc. Minimize taxable income and maximize use of social services.
3. Grey man. Do your best to fit in. Know everybody but keep your life private. Don't own nice things or a big house.
4. Prep for "sin" based economy. My state legalized weed and I've been growing for years. In tough times escapism is valued.
5. No debt. None of the prep matters if it can all be taken away when you stop making payments.
Thanks Erik. I agree with your comments generally; the biggest problem with the rural retreat strategy is that globohomo is busing as many illegals as they can into those areas. So I see it as a way to buy time but not necessarily a long-term solution...
It is town specific. In my town it is hispanics and they work at the food processing or manufacturing plant. This situation has existed for a long time and started with legal seasonal workers for the food plant. So they are well integrated into the town. It pays to research and plan ahead because every town is different.
as we know a debt cant be repaid by a debt ( plus the loan/ monies magically appears after your signature) therefore beat them at their own game by conditional acceptance upon points that cant be rebutted! just a thought.
Interesting analysis, I have a more optimistic take that 2020-2024 was the low water mark for Western society and things will get better from here, based on a few trends:
1. Health: People are rapidly waking up to the modern medicine scam. Anti-seed oil, anti-vaccine, etc. sentiment is blowing up and there's nothing that they can do to put the genie back in the bottle. The liberal elite are all still doubling down on these things, but that will simply result in them dying more and faster. The epigenetic damage of these things takes several generations to accumulate, and we're now at the 3rd or 4th generation of mass seed oils and vaccinations, which could partially explain why people are so emotional and stupid nowadays. The accumulated damage caused by these has also led to...
2. Fertility Crisis: Tied into point 1, fertility has dropped off a cliff in almost every country and there's nothing the elites can do about it. The modern economy is a Ponzi scheme that ultimately relies on a growing population, and the only solution the elites seem to offer is mass, uncontrolled immigration, which has led to...
3. Competency Crisis. Mass immigration is not a suitable solution for replacing a competent native-born workforce. Immigration in the past was also selective, the primary reason being that welfare for immigrants was very limited and so only the competent could survive immigrating here. Combine this with the DEI rot that has taken over for the past 10 years, and you have the perfect storm for a competency crisis that has eradicated the reputation of companies like Boeing in the span of just a few years.
4. Young men checked out of society: Most young men nowadays have realized that the rat race is pointless. Apart from the few that make it into high paying tech/finance type jobs, most are unemployed or underemployed and have made peace coping with video games. Not only are they starving the system of their labor and potential resources, but also present an untapped source of potential when true leaders emerge to take back the west.
Ultimately, the liberal system is too sick, too tired, and unable to squeeze anything more out of the population. Even if the elites were highly competent, there's not much they can accomplish when they don't have any useful footsoldiers left. The remaining competent individuals will only work for someone they respect (like Elon Musk, see the results of SpaceX vs. Boeing), or are just mercenaries who'll work for the highest bidder and won't stick around to defend the elite when shit hits the fan.
Hi Sith, you're right that the system is losing legitimacy, which is in part why it's replacing the population with unlimited swarms of non-white migrants. These migrants serve as a powerful voting and intimidation tool. The intent of our upper elites (which is not the Democrat party or our politicians) is basically the Kalergi plan applied throughout the white West entirely, and also to Asia - to race-mix the world into a permanent 90 IQ slave class under neo-feudalism and kill off most as useless eaters, so most of your points are seen as positives by our upper elites, not negatives.
The competency crisis is an interesting contradiction; as the West becomes increasingly dumb and non-white, incompetence in general is and will continue to increase (probably leading eventually to the end of mass air travel), however there remains enough competence to draw from for the areas that our elites care about - namely command and control technologies, i.e. pushing a woke AI, CBDCs, 5G for spying, an overt propaganda apparatus and high-tech military advances such as drones. These will be turned against the population if there is unrest.
True, I think the real elite will achieve their goals of a long-term depopulation. The trick will be to evade their gaze while building power during the chaotic years in between.
I am 100% sure the Big Crash is coming, (even though I lack a specific calendar date) thus I'd prefer President 90 IQ Hooker (great moniker NF, I'll use it shamelessly henceforth) so that she can get the blame, rather than see "maga" discredited for the next half century, by which time there might be more mulattos than whites. I can't do anything to help elect her, since I live in a deep red state (like any sensible person who hasn't expatriated yet). Anyhow, that is the blessing of an election that is rigged in her favor, so if it happens that way and she is installed, I encourage my brethren not to despair. The subhuman scum also known as Republican senators and congressmen will stonewall her just as hard as they will The Donald so not much else would change (domestically) in the short term, besides the ongoing GR. He could keep us out of a war in Ukraine, whereas she, being the first ever woman president, will be required to wage war to prove how tough she is.
Thanks Martin. I personally put a premium on slowing down the ongoing GR; Mayorkas is some kind of skinsuited demon pushing open borders as hard and as fast as he can which would continue if the Democrats win. But with all the other factors involved, including the potential for the Big Crash leading into CBDC Hell, it feels like mostly a pretty false choice regardless...
I guess the big question re: cbdc is whether or not a person can escape it by moving to another country. My guess is, it depends on the country, and only for a while.
> I am 100% sure the Big Crash is coming, (even though I lack a specific calendar date) thus I'd prefer President 90 IQ Hooker (great moniker NF, I'll use it shamelessly henceforth) so that she can get the blame, rather than see "maga" discredited for the next half century,
I can understand the logic. The problem is that Kamala's controllers would use the crash as an opportunity to install a SBDC and social credit surveillance system.
Well there are a number of things a Trump presidency (and Republican majorities in Senate and House) (which are beginnng to look not unlikely) could actually do that would be broadly consisentent with what he, Vance, and important allies (Carlson, RFK) have been saying or at least implying, that would make some signifiant diffierence, such as:
Stop all illegal immigration and immediately begin evicting all migrants with any criminal record or without a reasonable employment history
Restore voting integrity (only citizens with ID can vote, and voting rolls have to be up to date)
Close down the censorship machine and restore free speech rights (online particularly)
Reform the health system along the lines RFK has been proposing
Immediately stop all funding from US to Ukraine and Israel and make any future aid conditional on fair and reasonable peace settlements – OK no chance Trump would do that for Israel but Ukraine would be consistent with what has said or implied.
One can't help hoping but I'd be rather surprised if any of it happened,
Sure, it doesn't hurt to have hope, we all need it in one form or another. You would certainly see Trump attempt some positive things if he wins. From a financial perspective, though, I don't see how he closes the deficit even if he wanted to (he didn't during his first term, his concern was the stock market) or works toward the $35 trillion national debt, which means that inflation will stay persistently high (if the Fed raises rates substantially to combat inflation the economy will crash). There is no solution to this. Re: immigration, there were twenty million let into the country within the past four years alone...let's see what happens.
The only one of those that has a chance is ending Ukraine funding. Funding to Israel will continue because the US government does not have a choice in that matter. Well, I shouldn't say that's the only one because illegal immigration will slow down, but the damage is done and the Great Replacement is a fait accompli at this point even if it is ended completely. Few will be deported. None of the other stuff on your list is going to happen. Sad to say.
Fully agree with the overall thrust, but we need to stop with the AFCEA thing. It’s a milquetoast industry association, the event that was to be held is a conference at a generic trade show for vendors and bureaucrats to meet and network. There was no kind of govt drill, the most exciting stuff happening at these things is bureaucrats wheedling for a new posting or vendors trying to grease contract opps.
There’s enough real shadiness about, but stories like this one seem built to discredit the rest.
A somber view of a potential future should we continue our current course. Voting is not an exercise of power anymore. It hasn't been for a long time. Unless those with power suffer real negative repercussions for hurting us they will continue to hurt us.
I have hope that we can organize ourselves into a powerful bloc and prevent the evils he describes. One bright side of Trump being a giant nothing-burger (I very much agree with Neoliberal on that point) is that the Right might finally give up on politics being a means of change.
I consider 1963, JFK’s assassination & LBJ’s communistic ‘Great Society’ as the moment we lost the republic & became an evil empire, ten years before I was born.
Yes, we’re still too fat, dumb, & happy, but the Empire is “coming home.” Fxxxin’ Boomers! 😂, they’ll get to die without ever seeing the long term consequences of 1963 😂
Lucky fxxxers! 😂
But anyway - and I must speak up as a member myself of what is perhaps the absolutely smallest racial minority on the planet! 😂- it’s not “white erasure” in the West but the erasure of these past couple centuries of the Western experiment in socioeconomic liberalism (in the tradition of Renaissance & Enlightenment, and the US Bill of Rights, and French Revolutionary concepts of human rights, and ultimately the 19th century 1st Industrial Revolution vision of mass production & instantaneous mass communications liberating us slaves & serfs from our short, brutal lives - and rendering kings & servants equals in the Here ‘n’ Now, not just in the eyes of God).
That’s what socioeconomic ‘liberalism’ used to mean until the Democrat party hijacked the word. Now it means Western communism 😡
But it’s merely coincidental that the British & French empires were some of the whitest skinned people of the caucasoidal race: we big nosed & deep, round eyed hairy people (compared to the mongoloid race, for example).
But as a member of the green eyed, red haired, whitey-white racial lineage, most of you all so called ‘whites’ look half-Mediterranean to me 😂, including the British. That’s why they call my race “gingers.” The British have lots of Roman blood in them, but we don’t.
As for the rest of the whites, most of them will look like they have a lot of mongoloid admixture (e.g. Slavs & Nordics) or even negroid admixture.
Anyway, I too believe that the likely outcome of a Trump victory is that he’ll be made the Fall Guy. Then in 2028, the US’s disenfranchised under-50 electorate just might vote for Western communism.
It’s Western erasure, not white erasure.
“If you can tan, you ain’t white” 🤣🤣🤣
I voted for Trump, first time in 20 years that I did not vote 3rd party.
I agree that it is Western erasure. But it is also White erasure. They clearly want to eliminate all freedom loving Whites, even those more diluted than you.
Too dark and disagree things will not change under Trump. You need to get out more. The country is not fat, entitled and docile any more (well obesity night be a problem). THAT ship has sailed and a critical mass of people are awake.
Hi Ned, that's fine if you want to be optimistic, but if you want to be optimistic you should have an answer to the question of how you expect Trump will solve our current $2 trillion dollar deficit, our $35 trillion national debt, our massive and persistent inflation rates and the fifty+ million illegals in this country. Whatever answer you provide should incorporate Trump's performance on these issues during his first term. I also suggest you write down with specificity what you think will happen - in a reply here, if you like - and then revisit your prediction in four years.
Why the anonymity? This is just as contemptuous of Trump supporters as any ex CIA or whatever taxpayer funded bubble you must come from. Really go work for a ranch or a manufacturer and get back on the fury behind Trump. It aint going to burn out pal.
Hi Elizabeth, looking at politics as a sportsball match of Our Team versus Their Team is a losing proposition. To the extent a politician embodies the principles I care about I'll support them, and to the extent they don't I won't. The Trump campaign of 2024 has very little in common with the Trump campaign of 2015/2016, and the situation on the ground in terms of national debt, the deficit, number of illegals, and the institutionalized voter fraud is nothing alike either. To you I may be a blackpilled defeatist, and that's fine; to me you're a narrow-minded cult of personality-worshipping cheerleader.
