“On the clock of contemporary history, it’s showdown time…”

Richard Fernandez;

But something happened that Gramsci did not expect. As the march through the institutions progressed, the “progressives” — so confident of their intellectual superiority — did not sweep all before them. Rather they found the resistance stiffening unexpectedly. Unlikely coalitions rooted in the “Working Class” and even among formerly left-wing sympathizers began to multiply. The surprise setbacks of 2016, Trump and Brexit, grew rather than declined, as one might expect of the last-gasp resistance in the inevitable tide of history.

Today the Reagan castle the progressives captured by coup is in shambles. They are in possession of a ruin. The Global World has not only shattered but is breaking out in war. The only answer to inflation is price control. Worse, the political opposition to progressive ideas has become assertive and even respectable. Things have come to a head; that is what makes November 2024 so special.

In the future, J6 may be regarded as an echo of J5, 1968.

  2. We have become the Jerry Springer show.. Social media has exposed who we really are and the politicians followed.. Oh look, I moved my thumb two inches 🙂 It must be important..

    Flawed polls feeding group think.. Such a thing has to be based on BS, and it is.. A culture selling pencils at the airport.. I cant wait to not vote again..

  3. Reads more like free-form poetry than political analysis, the sort of thing one might write at 2 AM after a bottle of scotch and a joint or two.

    1. No it doesn’t. Maybe your grant applications are so full of horse sh it that you can’t tell what is normal speech anymore.

  4. Tolerance always runs out.
    Our progressive comrades have exhausted everyones patience and exceeded mostworking persons apetite for bullshit.
    FU is the only resonable response to every tire talking point they reguritate.
    Physical communication shall be their fate.
