The Cause Of All Economic Problems Today? Denial Of Reality

“Reality is so unreal.” – Summer School

Imagine a candidate so cunning he chose Kamala as his Vice President and then choose her to be responsible for A.I. – I hear that’s because Joe figured A.I. meant Roomba™, and Kamala was good at sucking things when she was down on the carpet.

Part of the problem that we’re facing, the insanity that’s leading to the collapse that we’re seeing is a complete rejection of reality.  This is fundamental to Leftism – the only things that can exist within Leftism are things that agree with Leftist ideology.  If Leftist ideology says that every man is the same, well then, every man must be the same, regardless of reality.  If being the same means that have the capacity to play basketball as well as LeBron James, and that LeBron James could get the same ACT® score that I got, well, I’ve got news for the world – I have doubts that LeBron could spell “cat” if I spotted him the “c” and the “t”.  And I miss layups.

So, I guess we’re the same.

Except we’re not.

This is really screwing up all of the basic things that lead to a successful economy.  The reaction to COVID is one that that really showed the full rejection of reality and subjugation to authority and programming.  Yes, people died.  And, although I only personally know one person who died (and he was 95+ in age) it was a substantially worse than the average flu, but the reaction to it was over the top.  Oh, and it wrecked the economy.  Want proof that was Leftist?

The nonsense continues.  There’s no particular order to these, but there is a war on against . . . (spins wheel) natural gas appliances.  Yes.  In February, Chuckie Schumer (D-Beijing) noted that “No one is taking away your gas stove.”  May 3?  The state of New York bans gas appliances and furnaces in new buildings.  Huh.  Instead of burning clean natural gas in your home and getting most of the heat from the natural gas, folks in New York will lose, what, 40%? of the heating value of natural gas as it’s burned in electric generation plants, and then (with transmission losses) comes to their homes.  I can’t see how this won’t add 40% to the bill.

But there’s more!  This will stress out the electrical grid, and all those new electric cars people will be mandated to buy will be prohibited from charging in winter, just like they are in Switzerland today.

Reality?  Doesn’t matter.  Think of the lungs that will be saved!

And some people think Leftists are nuts.

Then there’s nationality.  There is a difference between the words country and nation.  A country is a group of people living under a government.  A nation is a group of people with common heritage living under a government.  Those two are different things.  Japan is a nation.  China is a nation.  Denmark is a nation.  That is clear.  Yet if I moved to Japan and had children there, they’d never, ever be Japanese.  Unless I was a Leftist.

How Leftists think.

And, of course there’s beer.  Bud Light® decided that selling beer was only a secondary agenda, with results that have been, for me, encouraging.  For InBev®?  Less so.  It turns out when you call your primary customers (men) out of touch and “fratty” then perhaps they’ll tell you to enjoy the customers you really want.  Beer commercials and ads used to be cool.  Now?

I guess now Bud Light® is the beer for people who haven’t decided if they’re a man or not.

Not to be topped, Miller® said, “Hold my beer,” and had a squat little woman with all of the sex appeal of a refrigerator tell people that they should send in old Miller™ advertising featuring actual women in bikinis so they can be turned into compost so hops can be grown so Miller™ can send them to women brewers to make beer.  I’m not making this up.  I guess Miller wasn’t content to let Bud™ irritate customers, they decided that they’d adopt the same marketing strategy so they could lose market share as well.

You’d think that being actively antagonist towards their customer base would be enough, right?  What else do beer drinkers love?  Hillary Clinton?  Here’s the Miller™ Spokesfridge© with her idol:

And you wonder why the birthrate is falling.

This strategy denies reality, again.  Just like the FedGov folks want to replace the heritage voters in the United States with voters that align with their views, it looks like beer companies want to replace the people that actually drink their beer with . . . people who don’t buy beer.  You can’t make this up.

It’s like trying to mess with an Irishman’s Lucky Charms®:

Pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers, and blue diamonds.  He knew they were always after them.  Now the Irish will have to eat potatoes again.

Beer can lose market share, but don’t ever let the banks loose market share.  I think that they might be a bit upset if they do.  I mean, it’s not like it’s your money, right?  That’s a reality that the Left doesn’t want anyone to think about.

But don’t worry, if you lose all of your money, potato man will come around.

It’s like the FBI®, but they pretend they have potato.

So, remember, Banana Republic® a clothing store, it’s also a state of mind.

One other last thought about reality:

  1. Shouldn’t this gal be the spox for cat food? She has cats. Or maybe the spox for box wine. Yah. Which cat food pairs best with which box wine?

  2. Aretha Franklin performed the new Bud Light jingle:

    ‘Cause you make me feel
    You make me feel
    You make me feel
    Like a natural woman
    (Woman)

  3. “For as soon as the distribution of labour comes into being, each man has a particular, exclusive sphere of activity, which is forced upon him and from which he cannot escape. He is a hunter, a fisherman, a herdsman, or a critical critic, and must remain so if he does not want to lose his means of livelihood; while in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic.”
    ― Karl Marx, The German Ideology / Theses on Feuerbach / Introduction to the Critique of Political Economy

  6. This what happens when ad executives believe what they are taught in college:

    Woman are no different from men.

    35% of the population is homosexual.

    Reality is a bitch is what they didn’t learn.

  7. @ TBC,

    The kaboom took place at the depleted uranium depot or the hilarious old plumping pipe being passed off as a Mach 10 Kinzhal in the CPUSA’s 51st cookie jar the Kraine.
    Putin can weed out Patriots too and that is just what RF did by taking two out of three out.
    Leaving the weapons cupboard bare is a feature to the CPUSA branch of the Uniparty, external fellow travelers won’t face any resistance until they meet the civilians.
    Barry O is out lecturing about the need for strict Australia style gun control for a reason.

  8. I kept on reading, waiting for the signature John Wilder happy spin to this post to clear the gloom like an O. Henry surprise ending. Only it never came. And now I am channeling Marvin the Martian…

    “Where’s the kaboom?!? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!”

    Sheesh, JW. When even you become Debby Downer I know we’re in the soup.

    1. Friday. Happy day is Friday. But, yeah, it’s like this week the Left stopped pretending that we have any rules.

  9. Isn’t rather curious that Millier marketing thinks that women brewers are unable to get their own hops without their help? Isn’t that at odds with the idea that women were the first real beermakers (and how exactly do we know that little historical detail?) If that were true, you’d think women beermakers already know how to grow or get their own hops.

    Miller, the second lemming headed for the cliff after InBev/BudLite. There is apparently some weird woke virus that contaminates all the marketing people of large corporations that compels them to insult their customer bases and taint their products. Gillette has done it. Nike has done it. Now the beer companies. H&K (Hechler and Koch) are hot on their heels.

    https://www.kimdutoit.com/2023/05/17/they-hate-all-of-us-anyway/

    “Gunmaker Heckler & Koch tweeted agreement Tuesday with Miller Lite’s woke campaign against using sexy women — “bunnies” — to sell products, then doubled down in a second tweet, describing ad campaigns that objectify women as “trash marketing.”
    …
    On Tuesday, Heckler & Koch doubled down, responding to accusations that they have become “woke” by giving a detailed explanation of their opposition of “objectifying women” in selling guns:”

    1. The Gillette stunt was particularly perplexing. A razor company catering to Feminists, a group who aren’t exactly notorious for shaving. Right.

    2. H&Ks are way overpriced. I will look forward to see them trashed by the Yankee Marshal on You Tube for their woke faux pas. The name of the game is PBR or a good local brewer. Bleib ubrig.

      1. Don’t forget Yuengling. Ultimate unawoke. Understand sales are up 30%.

        Like PBR. Look up Jim Windham of PBR. Saved the brand. From Shuqulak, MS. Doubt I spelled it correctly. PBR built him a jet strip in his “backyard”. PBR From 17th to 4th in the 50s-60s. Graded me on my MBA presentations in 1975-76 for Lonnie Strickland in Tuscaloosa.

        Took all of us out to The Bahnhof (now Gullette’s on the strip, was at the west end of 12th St then) or Lee’s Tomb for oodles of free PBR.

    1. So, sully the brand, and now make it less visible? Genius. Here’s to the real men of genius at Bud.

  11. Megyn Kelly summed up the woke advertising insanity in one word…

    “Foxweiser™”.

  12. The number of privately held guns in America is more like seven hundred million, but three hundred were lost in a tragic boating accident.

    1. The actual real-world number is nigh on a billion weapons in private hands in the USA, as WeaponsMan argued factually, and rather persuasively in his blog about a year before his untimely death (all trace of which has since been dumped entirely into the ether).

      And figure 10x that in ammunition.

      The sporkiness will break peoples’ minds when it kicks off.

      And I meant when.
      Whether isn’t even up for discussion any more.

  14. And the fact that we are not really a threat is what will do us in and let the leftoxenomorphs win, depopulate the Earth by about 8 Billion humans and enslave the few survivors to be their serf class and serve them in the leftoxenomorph feudal techno-dystopic total collectivist tyranny to come as a New World Order under a One World Government after The Great Reset when the schwabenklausian gleichschaltungian 4th Reich comes into full effect.

    Not being a threat is a dubious strategy for survival.

    2. The Farcical Idea that “the Elite” are going to somehow manage to Kill Off 90% of People (starting with the Whites) and then still Expect >their< little portion of the Planet to still Exist (Mansions, Yachts, Private Jets, Organic Farms)
      is just… Retarded. Without a High-Functioning Society of Productive White Men, None of the Luxuries that the so-called "Elite" enjoy can Exist – and the Idea that the People needed to Produce, Use and Maintain all of that for them would tolerate being Slaves; "you vill own nutzing and eat zee buggs" is even More Phantasmagorical.

      Let me give you a personal perspective- I have been a Jet Mechanic for over 40 Years- Helicopters, Big Iron, and Corporate. Worked for two guys who both were "Richer than God and Bill Gates" You've never heard of them, and Won't. They were not on "Forbes' Billionaires List". The Magazine Editors knew better… One wasn't even a 'jew'. Both of them were, to some extent, 'Petty Tyrants' towards their Employees. Fire people at the drop of a hat. Tell middle-managers "I don't Care what you Think, Do what I Say!"

      Both of them always said Hello as they walked past Me as I stood beside the Nose of the Jet waiting to Pull the Chocks after the Engines were started. They understood that their miserable, greedy lives Depended Completely on the Work that I and the other Maintenance Staff I directed did. One had admitted to me, when I was Hired, "Flying Terrifies Me, I can't Imagine what is going on behind the Carpet and Leather Paneling… I don't Care What it Costs, Make Sure it Works!"

      Now, You want to tell Me that I'll be happy to Work for Bugs for the guys who Right Now are trying to Destroy the World, after they succeed? Ha. F'kk'n. Ha.

  16. Not all, but a lot of the problems in America date back to 1965, with the passage of the Immigration Act (All cultures are identical!) and the Civil Rights Act (Blacks and Whites can be made to be identical!).
