I’m afraid you (and Tucker) are being way too optimistic. All those fifth columnists are still in place, as we will see when “Biden’s” agenda is implemented smoothly without the fuss and back-pressure that accompanied Trump’s attempts.
What matters is whether anyone will listen to them. Authority lives on obedience, and where obedience is withheld, authority starves.
Yes. It is not like the Progressive Marxists have been rooted out of our schools or government. They enjoy unaccountable control. They likely view recent events as a sign we need more government rather than less.
I think the greatest lesson we’ve learned from SARS-CoV2 outbreak and the COVID-19 syndrome morbidity is that the science of epidemiology is largely one of observation and modelling not one of proactive prescription. Lock down changes shapes of curves but whether or not that is of a long term benefit to society isn’t determined by the science of epidemiology as it exists today. Maybe never? Anyway a hammer is probably not the only tool to use when you need to bolt things together.
The greatest thing we’ve learned is that big government is a bigger threat to most people than a pandemic is. It can destroy the economy at any moment for no good reason.
Many of the smart people I know, in the US, Canada and elsewhere, are saying ‘OMG look at this insanity, get out of the cities while you still can.’ When the smart people start leaving the cities, that’s a pretty good indication that civilization is on the way out.
Let’s qualify that statement a bit. Civilization is on the way out in the afflicted cities.
Not really. Civilizations begin in rural areas where they grown enough wealth to support cities, then the people move to the cities because that’s where the wealth becomes concentrated, then the cities become cesspits and the people start to return to the countryside, then it collapses and we start all over again.
When the cities are repelling people rather than attracting them, that’s a pretty clear sign that the cultural rot is becoming terminal.
This time maybe we have enough tech to sustain civilization outside the cities, but that will still leave masses of people who can’t survive in the brave new world of rural living because they’re unable to grow food or unable to not eat it all before winter comes.
An agrarian society wouldn’t have the energy to work more modern jobs on top of tending crops and animals. But it isn’t likely this will happen. A change in where some people choose to live and work wont lead to the entire supply chain dissolving. We will still have the main arteries of supply but all the little veins will get a little stronger.
4 years ago, many of us (and I’m definitely included myself) discussed “burning it all down” in terms of the federal government’s largess. What I don’t think many of us were prepared for was how that would look and go down. The resistance should have been anticipated. Trump played them well and gave them plenty of room to shine. It really is stunning to see how evil these bureaucrats are and why they need to go. Great job resistance, you burned it down for us.
