Failing Justice: Vigilante In Indiana . . .

“Five hundred and twenty-seven counts of obstruction of justice.” – The Dark Knight

Behold, the American justice system!  (All memes as-found today)

One of the most important requirements to have a functional society is the law.  This is backed by historical evidence.  One of the earliest known fragments of a legal system is the Code of Ur-Nammu.  Ur-Nammu is the name of the king who wrote the laws, and the name of the country he ruled was Ur, which must have been quite a happy coincidence for King Ur-Nammu.

The kingdom of Ur was bordered on the north by Um, on the south by Uh, and on the west by Like.  On the east was the kingdom of Carpetia, who, from their capital of Deepshag, specialized in creating high-quality fabric floor coverings.  But that is another story.

This, though, was at least 4100 years ago.  It illustrates a very simple truth:  when people live together, they have to have laws and punishment or there will be chaos.  Anyone who ever had a roommate or an ex-spouse can vouch for me on that one.

Thankfully, federal judges have jurisdiction in interstellar space.

The law is a very simple premise:  in exchange for the promise of fairness, the individual gives up the natural rights of vengeance and retribution.  This is crucial.  Without law, if Britney Spears borrows $20 to buy a McChicken™ sandwich at 3am and then doesn’t pay me back, I could drive to her house and kidnap her pet ocelot until she repaid me.  I know, I know, that sounds oddly specific, but there are some stories I just won’t get into.

Instead, I can sue Britney Spears in court, and if all of the facts are properly judged, that McChicken®-eating soulless tart will give me back that $20.  Or, maybe, I lost that IOU she signed on the back of my travel copy of the Magna Carta and the judge says, “Insufficient evidence” and frog marches us both out of court.

As long as everyone feels the system is fair, life is good.  But when people sense that fairness is gone, they’ll take matters into their own hands.  This is scary, because it leads to a series of endless reciprocal atrocities.  Another word for this is Chicago.  Or Mogadishu.  Or El Salvador.

Still waiting, Pam.

The people in those locations don’t believe in the law.  Those wandering around killing don’t want cops, obviously.  But most of the people that they kill don’t want cops, either, since they’re killing as well.  The bystanders and clueless non-violent civilians who wander into the games would like law, but it often doesn’t matter.

The punishments are rare, and when they finally hit, aren’t a sufficient deterrent to others going out to break yet more crimes.  Part of the reason is that most of these criminals are really stupid.  I don’t mean that euphemistically – they’re stupid.  Low IQ correlates with high crime.  The stupider they are, the more likely they are to kill.

There are many reasons for that, from inability to plan, to the inability to understand a conditional hypothetical (“How would you feel if you didn’t have breakfast, Jamal?”  “But I did have breakfast.”), to the inability to think that their actions might have consequences.

Amazing how opposition to Trump will make the GloboLeft contort themselves.

No, for the law to work on stupid people, the punishment must be swift, severe, and certain.  Our current justice system is none of these.  Cases last for years, most crimes are dealt with by being dismissed or through a plea to a far lesser offences, and Soros D.A.s frequently drop the charges on rapists and murderers.

If that isn’t bad enough – juries are tribal.  The first big case I saw that confirmed this was O.J. Simpson’s murder trial.

It’s pretty obvious that O.J. Simpson killed his ex-wife.  This is a non-ideological question.  But it is not a non-racial question.  Why was he found not guilty?  It was because he was black and killed a white woman.  The black jurors certainly weren’t going to convict him.

Do we think a black juror will vote to convict Karmello Anthony?  Or that a pliable D.A. won’t give him a sweetheart plea deal so he can do two years in the slam and then be out?  That leads to a loss of faith in the system.

What happens when we lose faith in the justice system?  Well, in Indiana, one great-grandfather lost faith in the system.  65-year-old Mark Vawter was waiting, likely, to shoot and kill one S’Doni Pettis.

Why would a great-grandfather want to do that?  Because Mr. Pettis had, while (allegedly) with drugs and while being chased by police, Mr. Pettis had driven a car at great speed into an innocent bystander’s car causing it to burst into flame.  Inside?  Mr. Vawter’s 3-year-old and 2-month-old great-grandchildren.  Mr. Vawter probably had seen that Mr. Pettis was charged with 3 counts of a level 3 felony.  In Indiana, that could put him out on the streets again in less than three years.

And Mr. Vawter had probably learned that Mr. Pettis had already been charged with an attempted murder, but the case was plea-bargained down to an aggravated battery.  He went to jail, and . . .

Pettis was likely let out early.

Mr. Vawter calculated that the system would probably fail again, and decided to take matters into his own hands.  Vawter waited with a pistol, and drew it when the prison van doors opened.  What Vawter didn’t know was that Pettis wasn’t on the van – his hearing had been postponed.

Vawter was shot by the police.

Vigilantism is something that has been feared by governments for more than 4,000 years.  When individuals feel that they have no choice but to enforce justice themselves, you have the chaos of gang warfare.

But thankfully in the UK, you know the justice system is working, and people will get longer sentences than Mr. Pettis for speaking their minds . . .

The justice system is important, and it’s failing.  There will be consequences.

Ghost Jobs And The Fate Of A Nation

“Hey, anybody seen a ghost?” – Ghostbusters

Do vegan zombies shamble around moaning “graaaaains”?

If I were a kid looking for work today, I’d be pissed.

By one study, at least 60% of jobs listed on job posting sites are as fake as the girl in Canada my friend kept talking about.  One survey had 81% of recruiters admitting that they posted ghost jobs.  They never existed, and never will exist.  This is a little like thinking you have a blind date with a girl and then finding out it’s actually Michelle Obama.

Why on Earth would they do that?  Not the whole “dating Michelle Obama” thing, but the fake jobs . . .

Why?

Well, several reasons:

  • People in HR are evil like a cat and enjoy the thought of torturing their prey,
  • To fake that the company is growing,
  • Because it’s Tuesday and they’re bored,
  • To get resumes to compare against existing staff,
  • Looking for hot chicks to apply, and
  • Trolling for resumes to show that there’s a need for infinity H-1B visa holders to come on over from India with fake credentials and take the job at $7.35 an hour.

I would mop, but floors are beneath me. (meme as found)

To top it off, the system is rigged:  often, when a job does appear, the hiring manager wrote the description for a specific person, i.e., a person who isn’t you, and although it has already been filled, the description has to be posted because “rules”.  It’s a fair competition, exactly like the “who is the best boy” competition I entered and my mom was the judge.

Seriously, though, how could she pick the neighbor kid?

When I got my very first job, it was because my brother already worked at the place.  My second job?  Because I played football with the boss’s kid in high school.  When hired for my first job out of college, my employer knew details they could only have learned from conversations with my professors or the NSA.

Since then, nearly every job that I’ve had has been as a result of someone knowing me, picking up the phone, and calling me because they wanted me in the role.  I am very lucky to have gotten in that groove – the main way I’ve gotten jobs is due to a friend or other connection.

What is the only approved North Korean drink size?  The supreme liter.

But first you have to have a friend.

Kids these days?

Not so much.  The meme was, “Go in, give ‘em a firm handshake, and tell ‘em you want the job.”

In many places, that’s simply not possible.  Many corporations only take job applications online.  And, if the resume doesn’t have the right keywords to get plucked out of the luminiferous aether of the digital world by an A.I. on its lunch break, it goes into the black pit of resume despair, from which no word will ever be heard, only faint moaning and the rustling of paperclips.

Your mother is so ugly she went into a haunted house and came out with a job application. (news article as found)

Ghost jobs make it worse, somehow.  When tech was busy laying of hundreds of thousands of coders so they could import the population of Mumbai instead, there were job listings aplenty.  These kids, getting ready to graduate from college, didn’t know anyone, yet there were thousands of (apparently) available jobs.

How could they fail?

The big lie is that those jobs were never really real, and of the ones that were real, each of them would get somewhere (depending on the job) between 250 and 1,000 applications.  In a realistic world, probably 20% of the applications were a good fit.  So, that means that for every job, there were likely between 50 and 200 people that could do the job with enough skill to make the hiring company happy.

But only one person gets the job.

I were ever interviewing to become a waiter and they asked me if I was qualified I’d say, “I bring a lot to the table.”  (meme as found)

I have written in the past about the keys to the devolution of the country – popular immiseration being one of those keys.  In order for that unrest that leads to collapse to occur, people need to be not uncomfortable, not unhappy, but miserable with no visible way out.

Because, after all as the songwriter wrote:  freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose.

Men need a job.  Men need a purpose.  They have to have this as much as they have to have oxygen.  Give them a soft life, give them all the material comforts, give them video games and weed, and they are still miserable.  They have to have a purpose, and the most common way to have a purpose is to have a job that matters.

Without it, men are miserable.

Now, consider the exceptionally capable.  Not the Elon Musks.  Not the very top elite, but exceptionally capable people who would have been great mid to upper mid management for IBM™ back in 1966.  Those people used to be, while not the spark plug, but maybe the timing chain of the economy.  Necessary, but not the folks that are going to start a business.

But replacement is a myth.  (as found)

We have entered, perhaps, the era where exceptionally capable and exceptionally qualified people exist in numbers beyond where they are useful.  There are simply too many people who can program now for it to be especially profitable – the advice I gave both of my boys was simple:  never get a degree where you’ll be competing against a billion people for a job.

Programmers now have to find something new.

Maybe they should learn to mine coal?  No, that’s shut down.  Maybe they should become journalists?  Not, those are being fired faster than they’re produced.  The world that we’re moving into won’t particularly value many of the things that these young people spent years learning.

That’s bad enough.  But now, dangle a ghost job where they’d be the perfect candidate in front of them, and let them apply for it and experience the frustration of a poodle pawing at a plastic porkchop?

Are you trying to radicalize them?

I mean, that’s probably what happened to Barack . . .

Civil War 2.0 Weather Report: Lawfare And The New Battle of Shiloh

“Czervik Construction Company? I’ll slap an injunction on them so fast it will make their heads spin.” – Caddyshack

The judge allowed my injunction against Folgers™, saying I had grounds to sue.

  1. Those who have an opposing ideology are considered evil.
  2. People actively avoid being near those of opposing ideology. Might move from communities or states just because of ideology.
  3. Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
  4. Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology.
  5. Opposing sides develop governing/war structures. Just in case.
  6. Open War.

Volume VI, Issue 12

All memes except for the clock and graphs are “as found”. I kept the Clock O’Doom at 7., but the GloboLeft will likely try to turn up the heat as things warm up. Racial tension is exceptionally high now, and can lead to violence in a heartbeat. Beware: it can climb quickly.

The advice remains. Avoid crowds. Get out of cities. Now. A year too soon is better than one day too late.

In this issue: Front Matter – Lawfare – Violence and Censorship Update – Misery Index – Updated Civil War 2.0 Index – The Long, Hot Summer – Links

Front Matter

Welcome to the latest issue of the Civil War II Weather Report. These posts are different than the other posts at Wilder Wealthy and Wise and consist of smaller segments covering multiple topics around the single focus of Civil War 2.0, on the first or second Monday of every month. I’ve created a page (LINK) for links to all of the past issues. Also, subscribe because you’ll join nearly 850 other people and get every single Wilder post delivered to your inbox, M-W-F at or before 7:30AM Eastern, free of charge.

Lawfare

When last I checked, Donald Trump was elected in November. Yup, everyone still agrees with that. But it doesn’t sit well with some people, especially the GloboLeft rank and file. It does create a Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) that keeps them from thinking logically.

To keep them triggered, Trump’s team has released a never-ending barrage of executive orders and clarifications. This has resulted in them taking patently indefensible positions: a United States senator flew down to talk to a violent (likely) gang member deported to his own country because he was never in the United States legally. Wonder how that plays with the constituents who actually have never illegally invaded a country and beaten women?

Regardless, the GloboLeft has a strategy.

When they couldn’t achieve something that was a goal because they lacked the political power to do so, what did they resort to?

Lawfare. They used legal tactics and ideologically sympathetic judges to file lawsuits.

Why did the GloboLeft NGOs file a lawsuit in Washington, D.C. when the guy who was going to be deported was in Texas? Because they knew they could get an ideologically compliant judge who would do whatever the GloboLeft wanted. And judges face no consequences for this.

None. They can behave in unconstitutionally behavior as much as they want, with no fear because the only significant punishment would be via impeachment, and that won’t happen with a nearly split Senate. So, if they want to walk around wearing nothing but nipple rings and quoting Marx while covered in red paint?

Sure, buddy, go ahead. No one will ever be able to do anything about it. And until that order is overturned, illegals are a one-way rachet: millions can come in under Biden, but only thousands can be kicked out under Trump.

Likewise, Biden deem every conceivable sexual fetish as fit for service in the military for the first time in the history of the nation, but Trump can’t kick them out. In excess of 225 lawsuits have been filed against Trump, and at this point, 70 have resulted in injunctions blocking them from taking effect.

This is a delaying action, since most of the lawsuits seem to be pushing back against the inherent powers of the president – who has in many cases powers that are unreviewable, such as his ability to proclaim emergencies under the Alien Enemies Act.

Why didn’t the TradRight do that to Biden? First, the TradRight is not nearly as organized as the GloboLeft, except for when it comes to gun rights. Second, many of the TradRightElite want exactly what the GloboLeftElite want, just a few years later.

The next phase, should the Republicans not do well in the midterm elections, will be infinity impeachments for, well, whatever. Because they don’t like the results from . . . “Their democracy.”

Violence and Censorship Update

The biggest story is easily Karmelo Anthony’s admitted murder of Austin Metcalf. Is this related to a Civil War? Certainly. The racial tensions are now exceptionally high, as it becomes clear that the vast majority of black people are supporting the admitted knife stabbing youth. Why? Because he killed a white kid.

White people have noticed, and we’ll talk more about the 2025 Battle of Shiloh below.

How bad is TDS? It apparently caused a kid to kill his parents so that he could assassinate Trump.

Oh, and a socialist pro-Palestinian tried to kill the Democrat governor of Pennsylvania.

And if you cause tens of thousands of dollars of damage to a car, you can get away and face no charges. If the cars are Teslas™.

And when it comes to censorship, how much did it take to convince people that two dudes are the same as two women?

The UK won’t draft foreigners, and instead just let actual English people be drafted to fight and die.

Oh, and so will we.

Misery Index

I’ve started it for the new Trump administration. Early results are much better than Biden’s misery numbers.

Updated Civil War II Index

The Civil War II graphs are an attempt to measure four factors that might make Civil War II more likely, in real time. They are broken up into Violence, Political Instability, Economic Outlook, and Illegal Alien Crossings. As each of these is difficult to measure, I’ve created for three of the four metrics some leading indicators that combine to become the index. On illegal aliens, I’m just using government figures.

Violence:

Violence indicators in are flat this month, but still elevated.

Political Instability:

Down is more stable, but it shot up this month.

Economic:

The economy is down a bit this month, as I expected last month. Next month? Probably will look up a bit.

Illegal Aliens:

Lowest level since the Weather Report started.

The Long, Hot Summer

I get the feeling that we are in a significant danger zone – not necessarily for full-blown Civil War 2.0, but that precursor violence that will eventually lead to Civil War 2.0. I think, perhaps, we’ll have a near-term peak in violence this summer.

The elements are, in fact, in place. Karmello Anthony admits he stabbed Austin Metcalf. For no particular reason that would justify deadly force. The result? Blacks (predominately) donate over half-a-million dollars to him for legal defense for admittedly slamming a knife into the heart of another human. The comments, though, on this donation campaign are overwhelmingly for the murder of white people. I assume that these were black people making those comments.

Going back to Scott Adams, he noted that “If nearly half of all blacks are not okay with white people . . . that’s a hate group.” Just noting that led to Adams being excommunicated from the Church of the Politically Correct. He lost all income from his books as they were pulled from publication, all income from his widely syndicated comic strip, and, for one year all income from his annual calendar.

He’s publishing the calendar again. And I don’t feel bad for Scott, because I’m betting he’s sitting on millions that he’ll never spend even he got a dozen poodles and fed them all bigfoot filet roasted over Moon rocks every day.

But Americans are done with it. When a white, blonde woman uttered the Gamer Word at a Somalian alien (who had been charged with rape on a 15-year-old) and at a kid who had been allegedly stealing from her child’s toys. She had had enough.

And so, apparently have a large number of other (presumably white) people who haven’t canceled her. It’s hard to cancel a stay-at-home mom, but it’s even harder for a stay-at-home mom to make $600,000 over two days, which Shiloh has on her Give Send Go™, the same platform that Karmello is making money on.

This is driving black people insane with anger. I don’t get it – she said a word and didn’t stab the kid in the heart. And that kid has heard that word a dozen times a day.

No, the reason that this is driving black people crazy is that the taboo is over. The giving infinity second chances is over. The constantly asking, “Why are they more violent?” rather than “What do we do about the violence?” is over. Their well of good will is exhausted.

This is a blood pressure cuff on the zeitgeist of racial relations in the country, and it’s showing that the pressure is high. Rodney King high? George Floyd high?

We’ll see. Keep your head on a swivel, and don’t relax.

It Came From . . . 1978

“Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life.” – Animal House

Grok® was feeling grumpy tonight.

1978 starts feels much farther from 1982, for instance, than four years.  As I went through the films from 1978, they trend to be more focused on the past.  As an example, of the top grossing movies of 1978, two are set in the 1950s/early 1960s (Grease, Animal House) and the third is a callback to a character that certainly hit peak popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, Superman.

11 of the major release films were sequels in 1978, compared to 25 in 1998, and 37 in 2018.  Not remakes.  Sequels.  These are, as usual, excluded from the list.

The list is in the order that it’s in, and for no particular reason.  It is what it is.

The Boys in Company C – Movies about Vietnam were popular in 1978, and this is the beginning of Hollywood coming to grips with the loss of that war.  This one made the list because it was R. Lee Ermey’s first movie role.  The movie then descends into some weird concept that the Marines need to learn to play soccer in order to beat the Viet Cong.  In the end, everyone dies because they got bored playing soccer.

This has nothing to do with the movie, but I’m not going to let that stop me.

The Manitou – It’s awful.  It stars Tony Curtis and . . . Michael Ansara?  It’s also of an era where everyone starring in the movie is now dead, probably because this film was so bad it ended up killing them.  It’s about Tony Curtis (a fake medium) coming into contact with actual Native American spirit power.  In order to stop this, actor Michael Ansara plays an American Indian shaman.  Basic plot:  white people are awful and not spiritual and we killed off all the Indians so we had to hire a Syrian, Michael Ansara, to play one so he could use electricity to stop evil.

Grease – One of the big nostalgia pieces of 1978, it stars John Travolta as a Korean War veteran who meets an Australian in a POW camp.  They escape through the use of a flying car.

Looks more like Billy-Bob Clooney Reynolds, but whatever.

Hooper – I really like Burt Reynolds.  He had, especially after Deliverance, the chance to be a serious Hollywood star.  He decided, “Nah, I’m in this for fun,” and spent the 1970s and 1980s doing whatever he wanted.  Hooper is the result of that, as is his expensive divorce from Loni Anderson’s bosom.  Hooper, though is not a bosom but a light action-comedy that has a plot that could have been written by two guys after downing a case of Schlitz™, which is probably what happened.  It’s a silly movie.  But it’s Burt’s movie.

“And your Delta Tau Chi name is . . . Dispenser.”

Animal House – Certainly one of the best comedies of all time if not one of the best movies of all time as well.  It took Belushi from star to superstar, and grossed $142 million after being made on a budget of $3 million.  It, too was a nostalgic look back, as the Boomers continued to consume movies about themselves – almost every movie on this list was made by an for Boomers.  Oh, and it references Vietnam.  As does . . .

Do two Chongs make a white?

Up in Smoke – There really isn’t a plot to the movie other than Cheech and Chong getting stoned, but it made massive money – $104 million on a budget of $2 million, most of which was probably spent on drugs.

It took my Brazillianth try to get  this image.

The Boys from Brazil – The Boys from Brazil was probably the first time cloning hit the national consciousness.  The plot is simple:  escaped doctor Josef Mengele wants to clone an Austrian painter to . . . well, that’s unclear.  Certainly not paint.

I told Grok just to have fun with that one, and I was pleased.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes – The plot is in the title.  Ambulatory tomatoes go around killing people in a comedy horror film that is also somehow a disaster movie.  The real joke of the movie is that there isn’t enough plot for a movie, yet it spawned three sequels.  I think it succeeded because not because it was so bad, but it was intentionally bad in just the right way at just the right time, sort of like The Gong Show.

This one surprised me for the pun.

The Deer Hunter – Annnnnd back to Vietnam.  Is this the darkest movie on the list?  Certainly.  When the Vietnam dam burst in film, it really burst.  This movie is well regarded because it’s got great actors, an intense plot, and is perfectly put together.  But it’s bleak.  If it’s a movie about America, it’s a movie about a lost America under Jimmy Carter where we looked like the most likely superpower to collapse.  But speaking about superpowers . . .

Grok came up with the logo himself.

Superman –  It was the most expensive movie made up to that point at $55 million, and made $300 million, so this movie did not kneel before Zod.  Was it a movie for kids?  Certainly, but plenty of adults had to go see it, too.  I think the plot is far too optimistic to be made today, and if Netflix™ were to remake it, Superma’am™ would be a proud black FtM transexual, since Superman™ is already an illegal alien.

Sally doesn’t like being replaced.

Every Which Way but Loose – Clint spent most of the 1970s killing people in places like San Francisco or the Alps, he decided he wanted to do a comedy to “broaden his appeal.”  What comedy?  Every Which Way but Loose.  In it, Eastwood plays a bare-knuckle boxer who roams the United States looking for a girl while accompanied by his best friend and his monkey.  It’s sort of like what Smokey and the Bandit would have been if Sally Field was a monkey.  Did Clint have a lot of money after all those earlier box office hits?  He did.  This one made over $100 million on a $5 million budget.

If you know, you know.

Halloween – Halloween is, perhaps, the first modern horror movie that made it big.  John Carpenter, who had already done some good movies, decided to make a great movie.  It was one of the lowest-budgeted movies on this list, yet made $70 million at the box office.  Carpenter was paid just $10,000 to write and direct it, but retained a 10% profit stake.  This was the movie that showed what horror movies would become after the Hammer Films Dracula-style movie was no longer the standard.

This is 1978.  It’s pretty dark, but America was in a dark place.  High inflation, stagnant economy, the Soviets attacking Afghanistan and Americans held hostage in Teheran.  It reminds me of Biden’s America, but Carter didn’t have dementia and Obama to blame.

What did I miss?
