In the Aftermath of the Mueller Debacle, Who Will Bell the Cat?

The thing that bothers me about the whole Mueller affair, that ended with the exhibition on Wednesday of Robert Mueller as an old man past his prime, is what it tells us about the ideology, the culture, the religion -- call it what you will -- of our liberal friends.

Our liberal friends now think it is OK to use the full might of government to demolish the opposition. Because it is evil.

This is particularly stark for me because of my current reading of The British Conquest and Domination of India by Sir Penderel Moon, all 1245 pages of it. The genius of the book is that it tells the story of the British conventional wisdom on India beginning back in the 18th century.

So, after the Indian Mutiny of Sepoy regiments in 1857 what did the Brits do? Well, they were a bit ashamed that some of their officers that had wreaked revenge on the Indians that had massacred a few handfuls of British women and children. And they realized that the idea of keeping India in subjection forever was a pipe-dream. Sooner or later, they realized, they had to hand India over to the Indians. Because democracy. Meanwhile they should be building roads, railways, canals, and building an Indian national education system, as any modern responsible government should do, according to the conventional wisdom of the time.

This is rather different from the ideology of Gen. Siad Barre, dictator of Somalia in the time when Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D-MN) grandfather was head of Somalian lighthouses. Barre combined Marxism and Islam in his regime ideology. That gave him license to do pretty well whatever was needed. Steve Sailer:

 [T]he Somali Government was vexed to find conservative religious leaders preaching against equality of the sexes and supporting their arguments with readings from the Koran.
It decided to stop the dissent. 

Eleven of the religious leaders were rounded up, and early one morning they were executed by firing squad. 

Notice that Barre did not think, well, I know that progress according to the truth of Marxism and Islam is inevitable and that, in the long run, all the old ideologies will fall by the wayside. Because progress. No. His ideology permitted, even encouraged him to get rid of the inconvenient "conservative religious leaders" right now.

It is clear to me that the current ideology of our ruling class, the religion of intersectionality, of race cards, and the apocalyptic doctrine of the End of the World, because climate, is a millennarian doctrine, a secular religion, a follow-on from Marxism, which does not, as the Brit ideology of the 19th century did, advise the ruling class to cool it and permit government for the Natives, by the Natives -- however backward and primitive compared to Us they may be, darling.

So our liberal friends do not think that, well, those deplorables and bitter clingers may be a bunch of superstitious idiots living in the past, but, they have as much right to live their bigoted, and superstitious lives, cramped by horrific racism, sexism, and homophobia, as we have to live our glorious creative, compassionate and enlightened lives. They think that extreme measures are needed to keep bigoted hands away from the levers of political power.

When George W. Bush won the normal change election of 2000 our liberal friends were beside themselves. The psychiatrists even invented a mental illness for them, post-election stress disorder. Really? You chaps can't handle the disappointment of losing an election?

Same thing when Donald Trump won the normal change election of 2016. There was wailing and gnashing of teeth. And a deep state movement to reverse the election and get rid of Trump.

Sorry liberals. If you think like that you have a dangerous and antisocial ideology. Because the first principle of democratic elections is that there are two kinds of elections: Four More Years, and Throw the Rascals Out. In more polite circles this is called "alternation in office."

The point of "alternation in office" is that both political parties can confidently say, after an election that goes against them, that we will "wait until next time." But if there are no normal change elections every eight years, then there is no "wait until next time." If you want to get out from under the knout of the present unjust rulers you have to form a head of rebellion and literally throw the rascals out in an armed revolution.

Many people think that living for a few years under, e.g., the awful Trump, is much better than going through the horrors of revolution, of young men drafted off the street into someone's army, and summary executions.

I don't know what is behind the Democratic habit of not conceding elections, but I am inclined to think that it is telling us something. It is telling us that a lot of Democrats are thinking that something has gone wrong with the march of history. The glorious bend of the arc of history towards justice does not seem to be happening. So democracy isn't working, and this must be the work of the racist, sexist, homophobic Devil. Thus, in order to bring justice to this racist, sexist, homophobic society we have to resort to force. The other options aren't working anymore.

So the chaps that think that the thing about democracy is that it is the worst form of government, except for all the others, we have to get together to form a political movement that will form a political coalition to teach the liberal totalitarians a lesson.

I don't know which of the 47 types of nationalism that are contesting for the right to define the future is the right one for the present emergency. But we need to come up with something.

It is not going to be enough to sit around, like the mice of Gloucester, and argue about Who Will Bell the Cat.

My feeling is -- from my maxim that "there is no such thing as justice, only injustice" -- that the way to deal with our liberal friends is to put together a political movement solely based on the monstrous injustice of the current ruling class and its monstrous self-dealing, and its use of the justice system and the intelligence community both to punish its enemies that merely follow the law and exempt its friends from living in accordance with the law, and its monstrous importation of immigrants against the interests of native Americans.

Used to be that our ruling class taught the white working class that they were horribly exploited and oppressed by the bosses. Vote for us, and we will smash the bosses. Then the ruling class abandoned the white working class to unemployment and opioids.

Used to be that our ruling class taught blacks that all the whites were horrible racists and were just waiting, in the words of Joe Biden, to "put y'all back in chains." Vote for us and we will give you Freedom. Then the ruling class started importing refugees and migrants to take the jobs of blacks and abandon them to the killing fields of inner-city gang warfare.

See what I mean? Whatever the political line is, however it seems that the electorate is divided up by race or class or whatever, the fact is that the dividing lines are sitting there waiting for some damn politician to redraw them. If he has the chops.

That's what I mean by "whoever shows up" nationalism. It's all down to what some damn politician can say to persuade the voters that he cares about people like them. Race, class, gender, national origin: these are all fake tribalisms waiting for some low-rent genius to stir the pot and reorder the fake tribes of politics to give him 51 percent of the vote and/or a majority in the Electoral College.

Then we can get down to worrying about the Deficit.
