Naturally, the national gov’t doesn’t tell us that the world is run by supra-governmental forces.

You can deduce the power center by looking at where humanistic values are disappearing fastest from the West: in Europe & in all of the Anglosphere except for us and our empire’s crown jewel, Japan - but whatever internecine strife is occurring right now between the US Ruling Class, the nationalists vs. the globalists, it seems like the globalists are winning, to whom the Blues are aligned: Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Media.

“Freedom & democracy” is disappearing the fastest in those places where European Economic Royalty has the most control.

Today’s “Great Reset” (or 4th Industrial Revolution) has been long in the making. It is a European monarchist revision of the post-WW2 “Great Middle Class Expansion.” After the engineered destruction of the USSR was certain, they set about engineering the Western socialistic consciousness.

The Great Reset is Neofeudalism, not a simple neocolonialism, but this time the “Empire is coming home to roost.” In mockery of 19th century socialistic idealism, the Great Reset means “Ruling Class of the world, unite!” So far, they’re winning.

But personally my hope lies in their having to work together to achieve a common aim (because the backstabbing, narcissistic, sociopathic global Ruling Class of course don’t have Mother Natural human emotions like Trust, Empathy, Compassion, etc. - they don’t feel joy at the success of others - so my hope lies in their obvious need to work together, which betrays their desperation.)

Very brief outline: In order to keep up with the arms race of their day ‘n’ age, the 15th century Ruling Class played with technologies & complex systems that had detrimental unforeseeable consequences (from their perspective):

1) socialistic idealism was born in the New World as an unintended consequence of granting royal charters to unmanageably large numbers of common serfs, whose Mother Natural sense of human dignity was nurtured under New World conditions of adequate food + some basic liberties, and

2) 19th century hydrocarbon technologies made plain to the Common Man that machine labor could replace slave labor for the first time EVER! in the 5,000+ year-long history of Intensive Agricultural Civilization.

In summary, the Ruling Class dropped the ball in the American Revolution and again in the French Revolution, but they learned from their errors and so pulled together in time to nip the Russian Revolution in the bud.

Neofeudalism: this “4th Industrial Revolution” is modeled on the Chinese totalitarian capitalism-collectivism. RonaMania was just a smokescreen. The clot shot is supposed to lead to vax passports/ social credit scores/ surveillance state; Green plant-centered dieting is for keeping us dumb & sick.

Red Conservative values are NOT always good ones.

I’m saying Judge the Trees by the Fruit they’ve born.

Ultimately, yes, our Ruling Class simply spread black exploitation around to to every skin color. Green is the only color that matters now.

Ditto with 2nd-wave feminism: in the Battle of the Sexes, only the Ruling Class can claim victory because now they get two Workin’ Stiffs for the price of one.

We’ve been in economic recession since 1970 or so. Politics has been deflecting our attention away from this foundation of our social ills.

Smoke ‘n’ mirrors, Blue Liberal distractions from genuine socialistic solutions to capitalistic problems - that’s it. The Blues played Good Cop, the Reds played Bad Cop.

Red Conservative values are always good ones.

The Ruling Class creates racism and then manipulates us Workin’ Stiffs with it; ditto that for sexism, etc..

50 years ago, the Blues still had the flavor of genuine socialism. Today, ironically, the Reds are the Keepers of the Western liberal humanistic Flame in the traditions of Renaissance & Enlightenment, the US Bill of Rights, French Revolutionary concepts of human rights, & 19th century socialistic idealism.

It’s not because the churchgoers are so right about everything, but it’s because the Blue Liberalism is so wrong about the psychological nature of our species.

In the dictionary sense of the word, the Blues are libertine, not liberal anymore. The Reds are more liberal than the Blues nowadays.

“As near as I could tell, the political left with which I used to align was in the throes of an ideological collapse.”

...

Actually, there hasn’t been a Left in the US since the Depression. Me too, raised Blue, and in a 2nd-wave feminism household, furthermore rather anti-clerical (but not atheist), anti-abortion (as many Blues used to be), but still a little bit racist, “But you want your grandchildren to look like you!” 🤣🤣🤣sobbed my Older Boomer mother, upon learning than I, at 18, was dating a black girl, and my sister, 16, was just driven home by a black boy 🤣🤣🤣

In my senior high school year abroad to France, ‘90-‘91, I saw how beautiful Real Socialism could be. Like most GenX’ers, I had grown up equally brainwashed to the Boomer generation by the Cold War, Foam Finger USA #1 propaganda.

In 2015, at my suggestion, my wife (& 4 kids at the time, now 5) followed me back to her native Japan, which is even more socialistic than France.

We needed socialistic help to raise our oldest, with Down syndrome, and the rest of the family in genuine middle-class comfort. I asked my wife to follow me to Japan because Japan is still rich. When you’re poor, there’s no such thing as “freedom & democracy.”

And I believe that level-headed Blues & Reds equally would apprise the Japanese hand-up kind of socialism as superior to the French/ Western European hand-out kind of socialism.

But in the USA, we have just about zero awareness of socialism anymore. Instead, we have a Means-Tested Benefits scheme, robbing Peter to pay Paul; the “middle class” pay federal income tax, and the lower class is quarantined at a safe distance via food stamps & Medicaid, etc., in their underperforming school districts.

There’s no Left left in the USA. The Blues & Reds equally support the USAian caste system, Economic Apartheid. The Blues and Reds are equally capitalist (& collectivist).

Instead of socialism-as-social-justice, the Blues nowadays cannot conceive of Evil outside of the simple paradigm of Race, Feminism, Sexuality, & Ethnicity. PC was gaining steam before we GenX’ers went to college. PC was the original “polite fascism,” I suppose you could say - the first official violation of the First Amendment rights to freedom of speech & association; hate speech actually is censorship, you know, and anti-Constitutional. My 18-year-old self suspected something was amiss, but he couldn’t put his finger on it 😂

Or maybe we can argue that the Civil Rights Amendment was in fact the principal First Amendment violation (???)

Anyways, the point I wish to make is that the Reds do conceive of Evil beyond the narrow focuses of racism, the Battle of the Sexes, sexual mores, and ethnocentrism. Their ideals are on the one hand backwards because they’re founded on Copper Age & Iron Age religious philosophical misunderstandings of the physiological & psychological nature of our species.

But on the other hand, the Reds’ understanding of Evil - and thus their understanding of Good - is more cutting edge than today’s Blues’ whackadoodle Philosophy of Life 😂 because the Reds support the First Amendment, and in fact all of the Bill of Rights actually 👍🙂

Today’s USAian “social justice warriors,” the closest thing we have to real socialists, would be the Trust Busting religious conservatives, the MAGA crowd, the Declaration of Independence + the Bill of Rights kind of Workin’ Stiffs, actually. In a strange role reversal, the Blues supported gov’t collusion with the WEF, WHO, Pharma, Big Tech, etc.; I hope Desantis doesn’t get JFK’d.

For decades, now, Blue concepts of Evil have been merely distractions from genuine socialistic solutions to capitalistic problems.

Ironically, the blacks have suffered the most from Means Tested Benefits/ Johnson’s Great Society. Also from 2nd-wave “feminism” and from abortion, the blacks have suffered the most. But these tired old tropes is all the Blues have anymore; and Americans haven’t seen Real Socialism in action in Japan or Europe (because Americans don’t get out). Americans don’t know how poor they are, and I mean the so-called “middle class” don’t know how poor they are.

And as for the Battle of the Sexes, only the Ruling Class can claim victory, and the children continue to be the biggest losers. It used to be called ‘poor’ when your dad’s paycheck couldn’t cover food & housing, but then the Miracle of Processed Food “liberated” moms from the kitchen unto the “joys” of full-time employment outside the home, and they called this a Victory! before even I was born in ‘73.

… Japanese feminism is functional; USAian “feminism” is counterproductive, to say the least …

Thanks,

Gerald
