Dear Friends,
It seems to me, the world is imploding with imminent moment. Political allegiances are shifting, economies are collapsing and world demographics are in flux. Even the terms of politics themselves are undergoing evolution. We are witnessing a sea change that in real time seems slow, but in retrospect, will appear instantaneous. We live in momentous times. Elitist theory says that no collapse is sudden, it is always preceded by a slow build up of stupidity. Even when a war destroys a state, it was not the war that was the cause, it was all the bad decisions of the elite that led up to the lost war. War is just the apex of a mountain of mistakes. The worldwide political gyrations we are witness to is the same. The sudden changes coming will be the result of all the bad decisions of our elites.
The terms themselves are in need of a buff. Elitism used to mean capitalism, but now it means fascism at best, communism at worst. Meanwhile, populism used to mean socialism, but a better definition now would be small business capitalism… or should. Until we rectify terms, we are subject to manipulation. He is a populist! She is an elitist! What does that mean? The same thing? Both definitions are subject dependent, not objectively understood, and so they have devolved to demagoguery. We need to resurrect them and apply proper and objective meanings to them. Else create a new word to denote those who favor limited government, free markets and sovereign people. We already have two words denoting those who favor unlimited government, socialism and peasants… elitists and populists.
History is rife with examples of governments falling in vice and rising in virtue. Indeed, that is the normal paradigm. Being replayed so many times, it has become that which we know, that we don’t know we know. Governments are created to solve some problem, they either do or they don’t. If they don’t they are changed for another. If they do, they exist for awhile, until the elite realize they are self policing, and exploits the law as a means to steal. Then that government falls and is replaced by another. Is there any government, since the ancient city of Ur, that didn’t follow this arc? So why should our government be any different? Our elites inherited a well designed system that had functioned for two centuries, and with their corruption, egoism and lets face it, naked stupidity… have created chaos.
Post modernist minds are so open their brains have fallen out. The progressive post modernist faction is as stupid as they are arrogant, with the absurdities they are required to believe, enforced by the ostracism. They have become the half witted egoist emperors who lack vestments. No wonder there is a sea change in political allegiances. Those who claimed to represent the downtrodden, are throwing them under the bus… to pave the way. The small businessman used to have no problem with corporations, because they are supposedly both capitalists. Now that corporations have become fascists, the mutual admiration small businesses and corporations had for one another, has mutated into hatred. The socialists have turned against the masses and the elitists have turned against capitalism.
This change will have long term effects on humanity. If we get the system back to constitutional government, limited as much as possible, then get the courts to follow the Constitution and law… return to our societal myth, then the future will be brighter than a supernova. If we continue down this path to global totalitarianism, then the future will be a global hellscape of suffering, want and oppression. This change has been a long time coming. The elite are like ship worms. Their etching of justice works slow and hidden at first, until failure comes all at once. We are at the all at once cusp. The thing about living in momentous times, is one has the ability to make momentous changes, in the lot of Mankind. Surely, this is an opportunity we will seize, and not let fall, to stupid egoistic half witted elites?
Sincerely,
John Pepin
