We continue to move left, faster and faster. But trees do not grow to the sky, nor do they stabilize at some limit. They grow till they fall over. Leftism will not stabilize. It will suffer radical collapse, the question being, how soon, and how many of us will it kill in the process. We have been down this path before, many times. We are now at the stage that preceded the civil wars in Russia, Spain, and France, and the coup in Chile. If we lose the civil war, then, as in France and Russia, the red terror, unless a Cromwell stabilizes things before the red terror. Usually a Stalin or a Sulla stabilizes things after the red terror, rather than before, taking advantage of the precedent set by radical leftists to deal with radical leftists.
Cromwell murdered the King, but then saved England from becoming revolutionary France or revolutionary Russia, and then leftism quietly died a natural death for lack of new applecarts to knock over and a lack of shiny apples rolling about. Stalin saved revolutionary Russia from becoming Khmer Rouge Cambodia, and then leftism quietly died a natural death for lack of new applecarts to knock over and a lack of shiny apples rolling about, but that is a long, slow, and painful path through the left singularity. Not to mention that losing the civil war really bites.
The left always continues to move left faster and faster. This always happens. No one expected anything different. For it to stop, it has to become at least as dangerous to be too far left as too far right. Which is mighty dangerous.
The left always falls over eventually, usually killing very large numbers of people in the process.
Our existing right wing politics, like our existing Christianity is not stable. It has been following the left leftwards for two centuries, and is now attempting to hold a position that twelve years ago would have been considered over the top ultra left madness, a parody of radical leftism.
The only system that can endure is the system that endured for millenia. Center right is now attempting to hold, but cannot hold, a position that is intolerably evil and insane, that daily grows more evil and insane, and which grows daily less endurable. We have to reinstall the old operating system for society, because this one is broken. Most recent working version is England around 1800 or so.
We did not vote our way into this, and cannot vote our way out of this. Leftism always collapses sooner or late, usually killing a great many people in the process.
There will be civil war. There always is. Leftism always leads to civil war. Perhaps this election, perhaps the next. Civil war this election is looking increasingly likely.
If we lose, there will be mass murder and we will have to wait for the left to devour itself as in revolutionary Russia and France. If we are lucky, we get a Cromwell or a Stalin who halts movement ever leftwards, with the result that the left slowly fades away, leaving the regime a hollow shell that falls apart at a tap. But the fading away takes a while.
If the left wins the civil war, and no Stalin then puts an end to movement ever leftwards, the left kills everyone, as in Szechuan province. Or or if we get lucky they kill each other first, as in Khmer Rouge Cambodia, but by the time that finishes, they will have killed everyone with an IQ above room temperature.
So our best option is winning the civil war.
If we win, as in the Spanish civil war, we will have not yet won, because the left will still hold the institutions of large scale cooperation.
If they continue to control pretty much the entire media, education and most of the other institutions, they can’t lose a long term struggle. If they lose the civil war, they will, as in Spain, just fall back and regroup.
For us to win, Harvard, Yale, and the Judiciary will have to be cancelled, deplatformed, and demonetized. The prosecutorial system will have to be depoliticized, which will require removing most existing prosecutors to the gulag. It has to become as dangerous to be too far left, as it is to be too far right.
Then the left stops moving ever leftwards, ever faster, and leftism quietly hollows out and evaporates.
Deplatforming the judiciary seems like an unthinkably radical measure, but it is not. The judiciary always goes quiet and strangely fails to notice when its power is ignored or bypassed. When Tony Abbott, frustrated by courts finding that each and every illegal immigrant was entitled to live in Australia on crime, welfare, and voting for Tony Abbott’s political opponents, started mass imprisoning illegals without due process and just plain keeping them locked up, and/or deporting them to third world places, frequently third world prison camps, the courts just quietly shut up, indeed turned around and stopped all lawfare on the question dead in its tracks, perhaps out of fear that lawfare would expose their impotence, irrelevance, and unpopularity.
I was in Davao when Duterte was mayor. His death squad solution was hugely popular. I did not see anyone opposing it, except people who probably needed killing.
Every time someone in power bypasses the judiciary, the judiciary silently fall into line rather than ruling it illegal.
To roll up Academia, take down the center – which is Harvard and Yale.
Either level it with tanks, or install old type Christianity in charge. Except that you make sure that those in charge are males with faithful wives and well behaved biological children to avoid the risk of the lavender mafia, which has always been a terrible vulnerability of old type Christianity.
Everyone then sees on which side their bread is buttered, and leftism slowly, quietly, and silently evaporates everywhere in the entire American hegemony.
Plan A for academia: You fix the funding for academia, so that instead of the money flowing through an incestuous maze of incrutable committees, it flows through president of the board. Then you fix the board if needed, but they will probably fall into line when they see which way the wind blows. Then the top academics fall into line, or get relocated behind the water heater in the basement. Then the schools fall into line. Create an academia where the people at the top are married men with faithful wives and well behaved children, who give at least lip service to old type Christianity and country. Then everyone else falls into line.
Every tenured academic everywhere in the world abruptly changes position overnight when the wind from Harvard and Yale changes. They will abruptly change their position and forget they ever held a different position, as they have changed and forgotten so many times already.
Or, if there is substantial resistance, Plan B: send the tanks into Harvard and knock down their newer and uglier buildings. Confiscate their limited circulation libraries, the stuff that they make difficult for anyone to read who has not been approved as politically correct, scan them, and put them on the internet. (Thus crippling their power to revise history and present reality. “Who controls the past controls the future”.) Then you will find that plan A goes more smoothly.
Once Harvard and Yale is rolled up, the schools will roll up. We have seen abrupt changes in the line before. Another abrupt change in the line will hardly be noticed. Every Academic everywhere will chant “Four legs need guidance by two legs” with the same enthusiasm as every academic everywhere formerly chanted “Four legs good, two legs bad”, and scarcely notice that their chant has changed. I have seen it happen before, it can happen again. Every single academic everywhere in the entire western Hegemony did a U turn on Darwin overnight, and every single academic everywhere in the entire western hegemony did a U turn on Cambodia overnight. The enemy has one throat that can be cut in one slice. The enemy pretends to have decentralized and dispersed power, but its power is in fact highly centralized and concentrated, and thus highly vulnerable to a small amount of precisely targeted violence.
“mostly peaceful protests”, except that they are rendered peaceful by being crushed.
