I haven't given up, Grant. That was just an ironic turn of a phrase.
My life is consumed with this.
No, there are way more than two sides.
I mean way, way more than two sides.
I had a guy on Celia's board say, that "nobody cares if Trump pushes the jabs" b/c he views the "movement" as Re-Elect Trump.
So what you are describing is a "populist" movement and that includes a Dolt who still pushes the Death Shots.
Which is why the Bannon Set never mentions that.
do you the problem?
You do not have a coalition here. Bret Weinstein is one degree of separation from Peter Thiel.
You have a multi-headed hydra and you have a whole bunch of people that are going to be seduced into a two party paradigm, and most, MOST will be avoiding the DOD.
That's a relief. As you can see, I get triggered by displays of pessimism. They turn me into a sanctimonious prick, think of it like one of those snickers commercials... Anyway, yes, you can definitely split everything up into smaller coalitions, but I think that is just a matter of framing. Yes, I view a new populism as the existential enemy of the managerial class. Trump got played in a variety of ways, perhaps having his ego tied to operation warp speed is the most dramatic example. The reason he is popular though is because he because he represents political populism, and that dude on Celia's board is just straight wrong. Trumps inability to distance himself from the jabs is absolutely costing him politically. I view Peter Thiel as a potential ally, and I view Bret as a definite ally. Are people still susceptible to manipulation? Of course. The system also kind of logically results in the emergence of two dominant parties, but political populism has been successful in the US in the past in spite of this, I think it can be widely successful again. Robert Malone is going hard in the paint on the DoD. RFK also got some minor point about FiveEyes wrong, I don't know how much of that is intentional. I do feel like there is a silent majority within the DoD that understands something has to change. We know our purported functions and more and more we know that we can't fulfill those functions and nobody senior seems to notice. Makes it easier to realize that our purported functions aren't our actual functions. It is my job to support the holistic health and fitness of Soldiers. I can't do that if nobody believes that we're capable of fulfilling our purported functions. It is so absurd it is almost funny. Everyone knows that this wellness stuff is important, but the system lacks moral legitimacy that prevents us from getting after wellness. Quite the obstacle? All that to say, I think there is a way forward with the DoD as well, its just kind of a long shot, but I won't give up either. Responding to this motivated me to write this article which I hope might make this point a little bit more coherently. Thanks for sharing your article, I read it and I'll go watch the video now. https://radicalamerican.substack.com/p/from-gae-hegemony-to-multipolarity

This is a key quote. Well done.
This is such a hard topic because it's hard to know how much rot there is in the DoD given the asymmetries of information both on the border and also within! Most of the DoD people I've met are good people in my estimation---just as with the military in general. And then there are clearly some extremely ugly things going on.
Part of my intense desire to get involved came from a conversation with somebody in the FBI who told me that little good was left in leadership there, and that it was as if there was an unspoken civil war going on.
There is so much complexity, shrouded in the fog of WTF.
Oh man, this is too funny. Just read this from Robert Barnes' daily rant from today. It appears he isn't on the same page as Bret and I (although I still think a high bar path to amnesty is both strategically optimal and morally appropriate):
"The Covid Authoritarians beg amnesty. Too generous an amnesty only begets the recurrence of the original sin. My answer: Never Forget. Never Forgive. Hold the Line.
Let us remember their sin. They arrested us en masse in our own homes. They shuttered the schools of learning for our children. They stripped us of simple joys like a visit to the beach, a family trip to the park, a long-planned vacation. They denied us the sacred rituals of church and family alike. They refused us celebrating a marriage, a graduation, a life well lived. They stole from us the chance to say goodbye to our loved ones on their death beds. They robbed decades of dreams from small businesses across the land. They fired us from lifelong jobs weтАЩd spent a lifetime of loyalty to, for the simple request of respecting our bodily integrity and deepest spiritual beliefs. They reallocated wealth from us to Big Tech oligarchs and connected pols. They demanded medical sharia law of masking our faces to merely walk into a store or take a trip, as even autistic kids were shamed or denied a simple plane ride. They corrupted our elections under the guise of pandemic policies, and awarded the most powerful office in the world to a perverted derelict on the cusp of world war and global depression. They coerced unwanted, dangerous drugs into our bodies, drugs that beget disability and death, often for the youngest amongst us.
When we asked questions, they censored us, they shamed us, and they outcast us. They gleefully celebrated lost jobs, lost businesses, and lost lives, for our dissident questions and critiques. They demanded our public flogging and walk of shame for their sins. And now they ask for amnesty?
No, there will be no amnesty. Never Forget. Never Forgive. Hold the Line." -Robert Barnes
"Never Forget. Never Forgive. Hold the Line" is somewhat of a hyperbole. Every person who truly repents should be forgiven (but of course the offense cannot be forgotten).
The main point here, as I see it, is that most of those people will never be able to truly repent. The magnitude of the crime makes it extremely hard. There will be some rare individuals who'd be able to do that, though.

Mathew knows about this. But try and get Kirsch to go there.
Even RFK at the end of RAF movie, whiffs.
He says 'even the USG is going along with WHO'
Hello! The USG is proposing the amendments.
Do you see the problem?

Never can get to the man behind the curtain, huh, MC?
What does "winning" look like?
They are not going to stop with the bioweapons and mRNA and injections and created crises?
