Making Fun of the Ruling Class

What we are experiencing these days is the day-by-day falsification of the world view of our educated Gentry class.

Only, they have No Idea.

If they had an idea they would be saying to each other: you know, things aren't working. 

They would be saying to each other: our glorious project to end racism and sexism seems to be on the rocks. Where did we go wrong? Only they don't. They might have said to each other: wow, First Black President! So the race thing is done. Instead they are amping up the race rhetoric.

They might be saying to each other: look we humans might be changing the climate. But, realistically, according to the science, our plans to end fossil fuels ain't gonna make much difference. And we should hearken to the basic facts of Darwinism, that the survivors are the ones that adapt to new conditions. How do we adapt to climate change, given that in a century or two we might be looking at the end of the current Interglacial? They might be looking at failures of electrical supply dominated by renewables and say: wow, maybe we should listen to the electrical power engineers. But they don't.

In fact, on climate, you can see from WattsUpWithThat.com that the climate agenda is relentless. Pipeline companies are basically giving up on trying to propose new pipelines because the courts always side with the environmentalists. Of course they do, because the judges and the lawyers and the environmentalists are all educated Gentry. They all worship at the same shrines.

Here's another piece: that the politicians and activists will be mandating "autonomous cars" and you will have to have one in order to travel in special autonomous car lanes. Did you get a vote on that?

Right now, in the Puget Sound area, we are in the middle of building a $60 billion light rail system that basically parallels Interstate 5. Thing is, the mostly overhead structures are a bit like the celebrated "elevated" lines in Chicago and elsewhere that blot out the sun on city streets. If the structures were highways they would be stopped cold by the environmentalists as monstrous and ugly and killing endangered species.

And guess what: if dense cities get hollowed out by the new work-from-home movement, reprising the old wisdom that cities are plague central, then the new "El" ain't gonna get used. And the bondholders aren't gonna get paid. And the $60 billion will be wasted.

Or the race thing. One thing is consistent among the young black men like Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, George Floyd. They are men that grew up without a father. And how does that happen? How about liberals and their Great Society programs? How many liberals even have an inkling of a clue how their programs have devastated the lower classes -- including the white bottom 35 percent where, according to Charles Murray, the men don't work much and the women don't marry much.

Look, we know what needs to be done. It's not rocket science. But our liberal friends all live in their liberal bubble. They have no idea -- No Idea -- that their ideas and their programs and their activism is a blight upon the land.

Truth is, rulers and their supporters always try to hang on way past their sell-by date. They are like bureaucrats that are loyal to the bureaucracy and not to delivering on the responsibilities they are charged with.

Which means that things will have to get worse before they get better.

Really, opponents of the Gentry regime should not be working on alternatives to regime stupidities and self-dealing. We should just be concentrating on discrediting the rulers, making fun of them and dancing on their failures. 

Like Nancy Pelosi and her BlowoutGate. All the educated Gentry live by their Ambition, their Status, and their Vanity. And by targeting their ambition, status, and vanity we can hope to demoralize them.

Hmm. Donald Trump. His big thing is making fun of his opponents.

The reason that making fun of the opponents works is that the generals need the foot-soldiers to keep the faith, that the generals know what they are doing and will soon deliver victory.

So, it doesn't help to argue about strategy, because strategy is trying to look around corners where the future isn't yet known. But what you do is make a big fuss about the failures. And there are always failures.

No doubt that is why big-tech social media is clamping down on "hate speech." Because we cannot allow the plebs to criticize their betters.
