On Winning The Big Fight

“If I owned a company, my employees would love me. They’d have huge pictures of me up on the walls and in their home, like Lenin.” – Seinfeld

And how do we get rid of communists?  We Oxycute™ them!

We’ve talked about the bigger picture recently.  The bigger picture includes Elite Overproduction and The Wealth Pump.  What we haven’t discussed so much is how the Left subverted so many of our institutions.  I think we have the why down pretty well, but let’s go to the “how” of the situation.

It starts with Vladimir Lenin:  “Give me your four year olds, and in a generation I will build a socialist state.”

Yup, Lenin said that.  Or at least someone typed that he said that.  I mean, someone besides me.  And when Lenin said it, it was probably in Russian and I imagine he needed a breath mint, because I always imagined he’d smell like cabbage and B.O.

How does Stalin drink water?  GULAG, GULAG, GULAG.

Regardless, Lenin’s idea was to propagandize kids from the start.  And, in the Soviet Union, he could get away with that because the Soviets had the secret police and the bravado and the people thought they were at their mercy.  I think Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn said it best:

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking:  What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?  Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

If . . . if . . .  We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

In the United States we were entirely different – there has yet to be a secret police that could act with impunity against Enemies of the State.  Oh, sorry, forgot about Ruby Ridge and Waco and January 6 protestors and the ATF and FBI.  I guess we do have one, but ours is on a shorter (for now) leash since they still have to pretend that the Constitution exists.

I’d tell an ATF joke, but I can’t compete with their supervisors.

But to get to where we are now, things had to start to rot.  The rot in America really started in academia, specifically colleges.  And, the colleges that were targeted were the education departments of the colleges.  Why?

Here’s Lenin’s statement again:  “Give me your four year olds, and in a generation I will build a socialist state.”

Now, in my experience, teachers generally start teaching when they’re in their early 20s and stop sometime after they become petrified wood.  I think my kindergarten teacher was born in the late Triassic, but my first-grade teacher was maybe 22.

If you’re a Lefty in a rural farm school district, you’re not going to get away with much, especially if the other teachers are all married and religious conservatives.  But over time, bureaucracies always swim Left.  I recall the first really Leftist teacher that showed up at my school.  She was fresh out of college, and was a substitute.  She went on a long rant about income redistribution and lots of other commie talking points.

Someone said I make too many graphs, but I know where to draw the line.

Since it was middle school and she was a substitute, she got about as much respect from the students as Joe Biden would if he guest-hosted Jeopardy!, which is zero.  “You know, you have to answer the question in the form of a question like my dead son, who was in the military did.”

These teachers had to bide their time, move into the administration, and slowly build a majority.  Of course, this didn’t happen all at once, it evolved.  And once it evolved, it did what Leftists always do:  they radicalized themselves more and more until only the most Leftist idea survives.  I was blessed to have “conservative” and left-leaning teachers, but no real Leftists.

But in the big cities and in Blue State?

Lenin would be proud.

But that’s only a part of it.  Pop culture is important, too.  I recall reading once that because Fonzie in Happy Days said, “The Fonz don’t go to sleep without sweet smelling teeth,” that toothbrushing doubled among the 8- to 14-year-old set.

I fell in love with some blood, but it was all in vein.

Propaganda works, and the younger you get the kid, and the more hours that you have with the kid, the deeper the hook sets.  That’s where television came in.

Before the big cable invasion, before the Great Fragmentation of the streaming services and multitudes of video sharing services, there was the Big Three.  CBS®, NBC™, and ABC©.  These three dominated the airwaves, and produced content that was beamed directly into the brains of Americans from when they got up to when Pa Wilder turned off the TV after watching the 10:30 weather.

In between, it was filling brains with Leftist propaganda.  Norman Lear (who just died) was one of the biggest proponents of Leftist propaganda on television, and made tens of millions.  It really was Lear who made me question if the ideas of freedom and nationalism that I’d had since I can remember could ever be funny, or if the only humor could come from the Leftist perspective.

Of course, I know now that the brainwashing didn’t hold, and that we’re actually a lot funnier than the Left because our humor is based on Truth, and the only way that they’re funny is when they set up a construct.  In order to poke fun at the Right, they had to construct an Archie Bunker and use him as their strawman.  And Norman Lear created him.  And had shows that showed that stronk womens don’t need no man (On Day At A Time).

Why are divorces expensive?  They’re worth it.

Those shows weren’t aimed at parents – they were aimed at kids, so Norman could pump his Leftism into their brains when the teachers were off duty.

Norman made millions attempting to destroy everything that made American culture strong, and when Reagan was elected, Norman took is tens (if not hundreds) of millions and tried to continue on building a cultural subversion mechanism, People for the American Way©, which, even now, funnels money to Leftists.

This subversion took decades, of course, and it brought us to where we are.

Thankfully, the tide is turning.  Home schooling is great for counteracting Leftism impact on kids and more people are opting for it.  Places like Modern Mayberry don’t care much for Leftism in schools.  The media chokehold the Left had forever is weakening – they can’t channel our minds on just three channels for 12 hours a day.

Let’s look at the other side:

“Give me your four year olds, and in a generation I will build a state of free men that won’t yield to tyranny.”

Do we want to win?  We have to show up.  With our children.

  1. Rot started with the US Constitution, the Whiskey Rebellion, the Alien and Sedition Acts, etc. The fundamental structural differences between the British government and the new American government were small. The founding slave owners made everyone subjects of their aristocracy, and everyone went along with it.

    The bad stuff could end sooner if 3% of the population takes the license plates off their cars and refuses to be prosecuted. If that or similar doesn’t happen, freedom won’t happen until dollar hyperinflation.

    1. “…if 3% of the population takes the license plates off their cars and refuses to be prosecuted.”
      ===========

      And how does one do that?
      The “refuses to get prosecuted” part.
      Last time a jackboot gave me a ticket I had no say in the matter.

      1. to Anon @ 3:04pm
        By asserting your natural rights. Be an autonomous (sovereign) citizen. Everyone has the right to travel on highways and roads in cars and trucks without permits, license or insurance, unless you get a license. For commercial road usage, you need a license. I checked into the “sovereign citizen thing” enough to realize it’s legitimate and figured out I was too busy/lazy/ pussy to go through with that path, shame on me. Once you start down that path, you find out that your parents signed you over to the Evil Phuquers (as collateral/property) with your birth certificate, they didn’t know any better.. You agreed to obey Admiralty/Administrative Law by getting a drivers license, you didn’t know any better. Happy research.

        2. Vox Day’s dad, the J6 protesters, et al. gave that a go and spent a decade in prison.
          You want folks to go full Rosa Parks you’d best have more of a pkan than Muh Constitutional Rights. That ship has sailed. Have a Miss Parks-level team backing you up.

  2. Thank you for your truths about “public school teachers.” It is not just the substitutes. Here in Winterfell (North ID) I worked as a Teacher’s Aide at a local high school. I thought I had landed on another planet. They whole place was infected with SJW Wokeism. And the teachers who were not part of the Marxist-Infanticide Cabal were afraid to open their mouths due to administrative retaliation. The day after the Orange Man won, one of the teachers warned her class she would not tolerate any outbursts or ribbing by the kids who wore the MAGA hats. I did not even last a full year there. They canned me. That is a story for another time.
    The silver lining is since then-2016-there has been a significant uptick in enrollment in the local Charter School, STEM Charter schools, parochial schools (both Catholic and Protestant) and home-school Co-Ops. The Feminazis and Beta Males who run the “Public School Systems” in Kootenai County are admitting their enrollments are flat. I and others here are hoping the trend continues. I see more and more kids enrolling in the trades-training being offered by North Idaho College.
    Norman Lear is another story. His Archie Bunker strawman, B-List actor Carroll O’Connor, was another left-wing dilettante who wound up garnering headlines by suing the heroin dealer who sold drugs to his son Hugh, “causing his death.” Lear gave his Marxist poison to the Amerikan Sheeple in small doses. And Archie’s TV (((son-in-law))) is still out there using his millions to propagandize Red-diaper-doper-baby causes. I hope people will continue to wake up. TPTB cannot do anything unless they have their army of Orcs and Orcettes. The latest Tik-Tok Mutiny is a positive straw in the wind. Bleib ubrig. – DTW

    1. ‘The Feminazis and Beta Males who run the “Public School Systems” in Kootenai County’

      This is the alliance that runs cover for New Amerika and its HQ, the District of Goddess Columbia.

      No point discussing Prog/satanic politicization of education without citing the Who, and the Who is ‘feminazis and beta males’.

      ‘Education’ didn’t just magically transform in the Seventies and Eighties. Massively empowered women and supplicating, gelded males (often with daughters) transformed education, and all other institutions too. I experienced it and I witnessed it.

      Many heads of bureaucracies are still male, but only remain honchos — or even employed — if they shill for feminism and progressivism. Otherwise, they’re forced out, including the modern military. Sold souls.

      When women are awarded power, weak men (i.e., most men) happily will front women’s evil, and call it justice and righteousness. It’s just Eve ‘n Adam, all over again, snacking on the Cuckleberry Tree.

  3. “Norman Lear (who just died) was one of the biggest proponents of Leftist propaganda on television, and made tens of millions.”

    Isn’t it weird how many of the biggest proponents of Leftist ideology are the ultra-rich? It is almost they don’t really mean all of that talk of equality and income redistribution.

    1. They feel guilty. They have so much and did so little, and they see others who struggle. They feel like they are giving back.

    1. Clayton, thanks for the comment, and thanks for the link.

      NOTE for everyone:  If you sell something or write something and are a regular commentor, please feel free to link your stuff or site as long as it’s legal and tasteful – my choice there on the tasteful part.  If we’re going to build our own future, we should buy stuff from each other (if we like the stuff).

  7. Demography is destiny. The future belongs to those who show up.
    Avoid college – it’s almost never necessary and usually a dispiriting waste of time and money. Get a job. Get married. Have several children. Raise them well. Be there for them when they need you.
    “May the circle be unbroken.”

    3. And, don’t stop working as long as you can benefit your children, build wealth you can pass on. Keep them together with each other.

      Be the patriarch.

      1. Would add pass on that wealth to advance your children’s lives, don’t hold on it until your dead…

  9. While up on the big screen, coming your way on March 22, is propaganda so intense they disabled the “dislike” button…

  10. Public education died on January 2nd, 1970, when forced busing/integration took effect. I was a Senior in military school then, but my old classmates told me what instantly became a living h*ll. Within 10 years, that HS went from 98% white to 98% black. And the city from 70% white to 85% black. (Hint: It’s the city where you have to boil the water to drink it.)

      1. Ricky, this is the direct consequence of 1/2/70 that divided and conquered. Agreed, and you have perfectly presented.

        Do you think that these people will ever suffer personal violence? I kinda do, some 82 year old with 4 weeks to live with terminal cancer…well, you know. As seen on “The Rockford Files”, “Freeze Turkey!” Or is it not “Turkiye” now?

  11. You know, your article has cleared up a mystery in my life from almost sixty years ago. I was admitted to a large Southron university which had at the time one of the two most prestigious journalism schools in the nation. (Disclosure: I was in college solely because my mother was dead set against my plans to enlist in the Navy as a corpsman and go embrace the suck to save lives.) What I discovered was a bloated institution run mostly by grad student TAs with a decidedly leftist perspective, working for tenured professors who were solidly left in the first place. I hated every moment of the time I soent there, eventually flunked out, and ended up enlisting anyway to avoid being drafted. All this to say that until now I thought it was me — that I didn’t fit in. I now realize that they were the ones who were off center, and it wasn’t me at all. Today, my classmates are senior embedded leftists or retired leftist pundits, and the downward spiral continues. So this rot goes back further if you probe the gelatinous mass.

    Thank you for the highly useful and satisfying insight anyway!

    1. It does go far back. And despite the lower wages the Lefties make in teaching and academia, they do have a pretty big social footprint.

      Time to take it back.

    2. Raze the universities, lime them over, piss on ’em. Start at the Ivy. Nobody is going to ‘reform’ this.
