Think about the themes advanced here by Sultan Knish.
What are the substantive differences, if any, between the collectivism of Marxism and that of Islam?
What is the fate of individuals trapped under either system?
And why do folks persist in the foolish belief that there can be only one threat to human freedom?
That really pissed me off.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent piece.
Damn, CA, we just keep digging deeper and deeper.
The bottom of this hole is really gonna suck.

We are all we have.
ReplyDeleteAnd really, it will come down to those within one-half tank of fuel (max) from your location.
I'll try to write the piece on that this week.
In the meantime, watch the Nipponese. The info dearth from Fukishima (sp?) ain't reassuring me much. And you are much closer to those winds than I am.
Think the ChiComs will offer "their Asian brothers" their surplus housing on the mainland if Nippon gets too hot?
Got rad meters?
The ultimate reason for the "alliance" is the same as the ultimate reason for every single leftist's regime's eventual downfall: their childish mental-state.
ReplyDeleteThey're incapable of seeing reality through the screen of their utopian fantasies.
They're incapable of comprehending the law of unintended consequences.
They're incapable of seeing history for what it is, and themselves for what THEY are.
Yes - every socialist regime in history has become a dictatorial oligarchy and murdered countless hordes of their own people - but *WE* are to smart for that!
Likewise, if we could just get rid of all those "conservative" idiots, then the Muzzies would love us - and then we'd be able to make them see that weaponized Pheminism and gay marriage are GOOD THINGS TOO!!
They're eternal children.
You're right.
ReplyDeleteOne half tank of fuel doesn't get one too far in this state, especially in winter. Comparatively speaking, there are not a lot of people within a half of a tank of me. There are miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles, however.
We've been watching the winds and are as prepared as we can be, considering.
An influx of long-term refugees could be disastrous, even in good times.
We're at the end of a long and fragile supply line.
I sure hope my state can learn to quit worrying about milking our resources for tax revenue for bike paths, and learn how to secure them.
That's about all we've got. That, and miles and miles of miles and miles.

This is a temporary alliance thanks to Hegelian thinking in the West which Knish didn't cover, but I'll be addressing some of the process in my next two posts.
ReplyDeleteIn the end, liberalism and islam can't "co-exist", ie, "the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy".
I'm reminded of that map, that showed Asia Minor being taken over,one theme at a time, from the inside, by the Seljuk Turks. A slice here, a slice there, and one day, they had it all. Then they were looking at the rump of the Byzantine Empire, which had already had its' back taken over on the European side, and awaited its' doom. It all started with a disastrous defeat in 1171 at Manzikert, near the edge of the empire. We are truly in a later period of a very old war. The Byzantines had their Islamist enablers too.
ReplyDeleteI actually find it kind of perversely comforting to know that the Left's Glorious Socialist Utopia will be quite transitory, and that it will be the Islamists that get them in the end. Just desserts and all that.
ReplyDeleteLenin had a most truthful term for both Liberals and Islamists-useful idiots.
ReplyDeleteLiberals think that because they have a lock on the lower rungs of government power on all levels that they rule, but as their unions have their teeth knocked out along with their collective bargaining rights, and laid off they'll find out they're but tools of the beast. What will they do then? Likely hug the monster even harder. They'll work even harder to direct the beast's fury at Patriots, Militia, and other gun owners. They and theirs, they want to be the only ones with the guns... irony having a vicious sense of humor as they largely can't shoot.
Islamists are relying on a steady, long term game building their numbers, power and influence until their isolated enclaves become whole swathes of territory. Also to smuggle in real small arms when the time comes either sooner due to a collapse/civil war or when they figure they can openly fight and win.
Useful idiots all.
The beast will use this alliance of course against us. Stir up racial conflict, a three way race war in America. Along with crises like say, earthquakes or radiation from Japan inducing mass starvation among millions of people who spent a lifetime being 'entitled' yet enslaved.... do the math.
Then again, we got our own problems; we scream outrages and arm up at the crisis the beast throws at us or dangles, but we have no long term plan, no steady game. We don't organize to start taking government at the local level, or support much our artists, or come together to start our own businesses or co-ops. The Islamists do all that and more. The Liberals already are the beast's 'floor managers' and have operational control of the nation's local, state and federal governments and cultural institutions.
Doing what we're doing now is suicidal, so we have to copy the enemy's game plan-have the steady game of gaining ground and power and with that numbers. Or do we fight now and gamble that a shooting war will make the enemy crap themselves and not use the opportunity to sic the US Army on us?
Because doing nothing? Tell me are we as Americans winning?
Not. Even. Close.
I put a book together about these thoughts and a lot more, more like a compendium of thought and how to-yes it's FREE:

"And why do folks persist in the foolish belief that there can be only one threat to human freedom?"
ReplyDelete"One" is a useful approximation. There are seven billion individual threats on this planet, plus additional threats from organized conglomerations of them. But, one threat-conglomeration of 300 million outshines all the other threats, as the Sun outshines the stars.
As bad as the USG is, there are worse on the planet, including the PRC and the expanding neo-Caliphate.

ReplyDeleteLast year I had an ethnic Chinese college buddy, now living in China, send me email from China under his own name, asking me which VPN service he should buy because he was tired of having his news censored. This is not a behavior one would have seen if the PRC was East Germany. The John Birch society's view of China as a Communist hellhole is no longer correct. The expanding neo-Caliphate is a joke, they ride first-world dictatorship's coattails but believe they are in charge.
It leads us to a point of what does it all matter anymore?
ReplyDeleteI have mormon friends who just sort of smugly look down at the rest of us gentiles, because THEY KNOW they are the chosen ones and will eventually outbreed the rest of us. So who wins anyway???? Or does it really matter for a few generations who rules. The earth is constantly in motion; racially, religiously and geologically. Nothing will stop that.

The biggest threat to MY freedom is the cop in the state police barracks down in town, who, if I have the temerity to carry effective means of self defense, as he does every day, or if I refuse to pay the protection money (tax) that pays his salary, will kidnap me and put me in a cage. If I resist, he'll bring his whole violent criminal gang to end my days.
ReplyDeleteNobody in the desert half a world away is any threat to me at all compared to that.
