RE: Blockchains contest - entry: The Golden Era
A dystopian vision of one possible course of the imminent collapse of western economic hegemony. Perhaps even the most likely of the scenarios potential. China has been acquiring all the gold it can find for the last decade, and may be behind the massive rise in BTC as well. Such covert holdings do indeed enable them to impact the price catastrophically at will, and the terminal floundering of western fiat currencies does portend their transition to a digital fiat.
Let's hope the CCCP is unable to dominate SDRs in the real world, although it's prominence in global financial markets lends to it vast power to control that currency as well. Further, those psychopaths and sycophants that possess the majority of SDR equity are certainly no better than their Chinese ilk.
Thanks!
Yes, hopefully the West will awaken to the potential threat to their existence as a socio-cultural entity. Already, the CCP has acquired Piraeus from Athens. Will the West prostitute all their heritage and culture for few baubles and pittance of money, which the CCP use as a weapon of ideologic war? The West needs to reject the Marxist distraction of "multiculturalism" and regain their cultural, religious, and social heritage. The West needs to realize that there is objective reference frame for socio-cultural superiority in relation to political and environmental circumstances. In the central desert of Australia, the Aboriginal socio-cultural matrix is far superior to that of the European in surviving the harsh climes; conversely, in today's information and mercantile age, 19th century liberal cultural matrix is clearly superior to Confucian rigidity, Islamic theocracy, or Marxist lunacy. In regard to man's relation to his environment, one could argue that American natives' perspective is highly superior to current Western socio-cultural dogma; although Christian theology properly understood, would highly discourage such misuse of the gifts from his creator, in line with some of the perspectives of the American natives.
Your answer makes me sad.
There isn't a single damn thing in it I can disagree with!
XD
I did hesitate at the word 'superior', but in context it is appropriate. I do not consider myself racist, nationalist, or any such tripe, but I do see that each and every culture has great value--value which dissipates and is lost forever when cultures are subsumed in meta-culture dripping with 'diversity'.
It is when cultures are enmisced that they are destroyed, not celebrated; eradicated rather than perpetuated. I may not seek to live in a Confucian society, but I can deeply appreciate the nuances and special attributes of such culture.
This is something the Alt-right endeavored to do, until it devolved into mere racist nationalism.
I will miss the West, when it is gone. While crass, vulgar, and illimitably stupid, it was also bold, beautiful, and irrepressible.
Thanks!
It is quite the illustration in the degeneration of Western socio-cultural norm, when values held by the West barely 30-years prior are labeled "Alt-right" or "extremist." There always have been and will be racist sentiments and blind nationalism, but the current media narrative attempting to. implicate such tendencies only to the so-called "Alt-right" seems to indicate the ultimate triumph of Marxist-Leftist infiltration of Western intellectual institutions.
Though the current US political media focuses on figures, such as Richard Spencer as a race-baiting rabble-rouser to characterize the Right, objective analysis of the current social polarization has equal, if not more, numbers of race-hucksters on the Left/Antifa, in the form of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, et al. In the UK, the UKIP was vilified as "xenophobic" and "racist" to silence their rational objection to unmitigated migrant flood that would have collapsed the UK society as a whole, loss of British sovereignty to the EU kleptocracy, and the mad incompetence of both Tori and Labor policies. That only the anti-Marxist movements are characterized as "racist" is the height of media hypocrisy, when the very basis of "multiculturalism" drivel is conceptualizing "ethnic" groups as cosmetic window-dressing for decadent sensibilities of the Marxist intellectual class.
The Marxist West is the exact parallel of the empty Bonapartist France, complete with a squad or two of Mamluk guards to please the scatter-brained eyes of the would be emperors. The Vatican is nothing more than an barren tourist attraction for curious foreigners, open 7-5 Beijing standard time. In truth, the USSR ultimately won the Cold War, as the International Marxist Revolution is bearing fruition. Even in the wildest dreams of Marxist internationalists could they have imagined that the West intellectual consensus becoming Marxist, Christianity devolved into a curious relic of a foreign past (since Europe will be populated by Muslims looking towards Mecca), West paralyzed by class and racial divisions and conflicts, and Western educational institutions mass producing ill-educated, over-emotional, unemployable wastes of human meat.
Far better were the days, when the Western identity were firmly grasped and celebrated by those inheritors of their illustrious past. No society is perfect, but given the choice between Marxist diminution of humanity into drug-addled drones verses the British ruling their Empire with their proud heads held high, I'd prefer the latter. For the Marxist race-hucksters, it is the singular perversity of their nature that they'd prefer an abject misrule and misery by their own race over a well-governed society by a foreign power.
I agree with the entirely of your remarks here. I'd only add that Marxism itself is but the product of a venal rentier class (and but a diabolical subset of them) that has long mastered crafting public opinions. Marx's writings serve as but a catalyst for the achievement of their aims, which his thesis and claims conveniently enable.
The onset of the Soviet Union was no peasant uprising, but was funded and wrested from organic anarchists by some of the most capitalist of western industrialists, like Ford, Rockefeller, and various interests linked to financial hegemony. Bolshevism and the genocide that followed was no accident of history, rather a mechanism to prevent such accidents.
It is with an eldritch sense of cognitive dissonance that I recognize various features of the soviet system today in America, enemedia puppeting of propaganda most prominent amongst them. I actually feel like I am drifting ever deeper into a kind of dystopian nightmare, rather than living in the real world.
This recent development that concerns me most deeply, Trump's statements regarding seizing firearms first, and worrying about due process later, is the line in the sand. That relict core of western reactionary nationalism and 'murican freedom' isn't capable of grasping the depth and breadth of Machiavellian competence deployed against them.
I have in the past month become very alarmed at the prospect of civil war in the USA. Nothing might worse destroy that economic and social strength that lingers in the heartland of our fathers, and transform it, and the prospects of our posterity--mine sadly included--into openly herded and wholly owned peasants, serfs, or outright slaves.
From demonizing white pride, to weaponizing BLM, from promoting the drivel that runs down the chins of the autists certain and sure that disarming themselves will make them safer from violent criminals, through the innate reticence of folk to embroil themselves in pointless discussion with noxious cretins, to the deliberate inflaming of passionate need to transform society engendered by false flag inflammatory assaults on children and concert-goers, and the subtle coordination of disparate limbs of the shambling elder horror that is the global propaganda industry concealing the western creation of al Qaeda and it's current offspring from Boko Haram in the Niger Delta to the Uyghers in China, the push to the final solution of civil war in America seems to be penultimate at present.
I reckon the ascension of Xi Jinping to God Emperor for Life in China reflects the readiness of the global cabal of satraps that seek to implement dire war and tyranny across that blessed bastion and refugium from it through the 20th Century. Generations of Americans have some innate sense that America is immune from the savagery they see their empire inflict on every continent. When that illusion is shattered, they'll be left without purpose, compass, or organic capacity to develop rational policy and effective organizations to oppose it, utterly ripe for the picking by the institutions that have deliberately and comprehensively developed mechanisms and profitable uses for them.
I won't long survive such a conflict, myself. Not that I have any particular interest in enduring such cataclysm unfolding.
I hope folks less incapable of yielding their voice to neofascist technocrats are able to, long enough to enable technology to render institutional control and enslavement of the world obsolete. I hope you are young yet, and have the fortitude to outlast the putsch unfolding. You are certainly intelligent enough to undertake dissembling as necessary, and your writing shows you capable of crafting even masterful paeans to statism and rigid social control apparently in the offing globally.
You should check out @cupidzero's posts, as he discusses the merits of a free society.
Doing so now.
Thanks!
