“This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of Kenobi, it will soon see the end of the Rebellion.” – Star Wars: Episode IV, A New Hope
What’s red and smells? Rudolf’s nose.
I still regret going to the Star Wars™ movie that came out in 2015. It was bad enough I had to look up the name – The Force Awakens. I did wonder about one thing – it was clear after the first trilogy that the rebels won. The Empire® was defeated, the Emperor© was dead, and people were partying on all the planets that the tyranny had been defeated, even if they had way better uniforms.
No, according to this movie, clearly the rebels had spiked the ball in the end zone at the buzzer and . . . lost. In The Force Awakens, the Empire™ was in fine order, except run by a teenager with mommy issues who ran a galactic empire despite the fact that he was an observable and miserable moron. The movie was awful. The only thing that could have been worse is if the Rebellion® had been made up of Han Solo clones because someone said “Many Hans make light work.”
Why did James Dean cross the road? Because he wasn’t wearing his seatbelt.
But Leftists seemed to love this awful movie. Why?
Because they have the pathological need to be the victim, like the Rebellion in the original Star Wars©. And who is more the victim that the righteous rebel, working against a monolithic government composed of evil people?
That’s still what Leftists think in 2023 when they have already consolidated power over:
- Electoral College voting rules,
- Most federal bureaucracies,
- The FBI,
- The CIA,
- Academia,
- The general officers of the military,
- Most Fortune® 500 companies (Disney™ isn’t an exception), and
- The executive branch.
If the voting irregularities from 2020 are repeated in 2024 (and there’s no reason to expect they won’t be) then the presidency will, forever, be owned by the Left and they could put a rutabaga named Timmy into the Oval Office. If they can get a crook with fake hair, fake teeth, and no idea what day it is “elected”, then the Left owns the presidency.
I will admit, most Democrat candidates look like they could use a hand.
And justice? Anyone from the Left who faced federal charges for the George Floyd riots had their charges dropped, yet some people who went into the Capitol building, our Capitol building, are facing thirty years in the federal slammer while murderers regularly get off with a dozen years or less. That’s justice in 2023.
Yet the Left still wants to be thought as the rebels.
Why?
Deep inside the mind of a Leftist is someone who hates success. They hate people who have achieved, and they hate anything that is good, anything that is strong. Even the Leftists in America hate America and want, at their core, to bring it all down, to watch it burn. They say they love science, but that’s a lie – they like certain small numbers of group-think “science” when it aligns with their ideology – Climate Change® for example, and less so when it involves utterly obvious things like biological sex.
Do they hate sexism? No. They revel in it as long as it comes from a culture that’s weak, like the Islamic world. Do they hate violence? No, they love it when it happens in some third-world hellhole. I could go on and on, but one of the things that they really hate is success, which is why they reacted so strongly to Trump’s “s**thole country” comment – they idolize failure as if it were a sacrament.
It’s nice being in Antifa – their people never have to take time off of work to protest.
I could try to psychoanalyze this victim mindset further, but, why? Leftists are weak, and worship weakness. There’s a reason for that:
They hate themselves, and are miserable. Why do they lay down on the road during protests? They want people to run them over.
The people who manipulate the Leftists aren’t the same as the Leftists – they really don’t hate themselves. Nope, instead they just love power. Think the Clintons believed in anything they said? The same people who, when leaving the White House, stole the drapes? They believed in one and only one thing – power. And, apparently, nice drapery.
The reason that the Leftists are so easy to manipulate into being followers is that, for them, their victimhood forms the replacement for what would otherwise be their religion. In Leftists, the game is to be the farthest Left. This is the reason that, like a flock of birds that have been startled, they keep saying “True Communism™ has never been tried”. Why hasn’t True Communism® ever been tried? Because it wasn’t far Left enough.
You know what never gets old? Russian and Ukrainian tank crews.
I recall reading as a much younger Wilder that the Soviets had a plan for when they took over the United States. All of the True Believer® Leftists would be the first up against the wall. The people on the Right? They could deal with them because they weren’t hopeless traitors like the people on the Left. I have no idea if this is true, since I read this when I was just a pup, but, really, it makes sense. Would you ever trust a Leftist if the Soviets didn’t trust them?
So, that’s the Left. They want to be seen as the rebels because they want to be seen as weak. They even compete for victim points with a pronoun and disability Olympics®. How many more points does a lesbian in a wheelchair score versus a black Moslem man with turbo-AIDs?
One thing most people missed about the Right is there is a significant difference. Trump was popular because he talked about the things that we believe in. Illegal aliens? The wall just got 10 feet taller.
That line got cheers.
But this line?
“But I recommend taking the vaccines. I did it. It’s good. Take the vaccines.”
It got booed by those faithful enough to attend a Trump rally. Never forget this – for the Left, the Current Narrative is gospel. For the Right, the idea is that their values matter first.
And that leads us here.
In this weird twist, the Left, who thinks they’re some sort of tough rebel group, isn’t, unless the definition of rebel is “supported by virtually all government entities and major corporations”. The Leftist band Rage Against the Machine should really change their name to Rage Against Those Against the Machine. Yeah, not very catchy, I know, but true.
How much cocaine did Charlie do? Enough to kill two and a half men.
So, who are we?
We’re what the Leftists always wanted to be, the real rebels. We stand our ground in a world that says that our values are out of date, our principles are unpopular, and that real human freedom comes from something other than a dedicated group making it so.
Something tells me the Left is going to be jealous, since we’re the real rebellion. Oh, wait, they are already jealous; that’s why they hate us.
I must admit, it does feel good to be a rebel. Because I know we’re going to win, if for no other reason than we are so very, very pretty.
The useful idiots are stuck that oppressed/oppressor horse hockey of 19th century German bum comrade Karl Marx.
He wasn’t out to build any utopia for workers or shirkers, he was out to burn down the world by any means necessary.
The dupes will be the last to figure that out and Yuri Bezmenov has some great quotes about the egalitarian equity firing squad wall where all useful idiot comrades receive equality of results.
The arrogance of hubris of thinking that a Russia 1917 redux is going to work in 21st century America was put there for a reason.
You have to replace the people in it to change America. They’re trying.
Also, if you and your cause suffer setbacks even tho you are very, very pretty, you still get cool high-tech venues like John’s website here to roam around in with new-found friends and seek serenity in distant corners of the conquered world.
Proof positive that Leftists lie:

They do. Trump is a leaf in the wind.
The Left used to pretend it was anti-war, anti-big business, pro-worker and suspicious of The Man but all of that has shown to be a lie. As for Star Wars, they love the new trilogy because the people that loved the original movies are all older, middle aged, White men and those are the worst people in the world. If people like me like something, it is evil and if people like men hate something, it is the most wonderful thing in the world.
Look what they did to Indiana Jones. Horrible. But, it’s catching up with them.
John, the reversal of roles is rather amazing. All that they proclaim they are against, they have become and having become it, are blinded to the fact that they are it at all.
“The Real Rebellion”. Someone should meme that.
We don’t need to meme it – we are it. And, we’ll win.
It’s funnier if it’s “Ma Sheen”
Star Wars thoughts from a real Star Wars nerd (I saw A New Hope in the theatres 13 times and bought a copy of the script from a magazine). In the original universe, the one thrown out by Disney, the Rebellion won but it wasn’t a total victory. The galaxy was too big for that. There was the Imperial Remnant, run by Commander Pellaeon, which the New Republic continued to fight. The NR lasted about 25 years before the invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong, which basically destroyed the NR, forcing them to regroup as the Galactic Alliance. There were about fifty novels, if Wookipedia is to be believed. It would have made for a great movie series.
It is funnier with Ma Sheen.
I read the Heir to the Empire books. Enjoyed those. Missed opportunity for Disney.
Regarding Star Wars, as far as I’m concerned there’s a Hein lien between that space opera and good science fiction.
And the hard left (esp. their useful idiots in Antifa/BLM/Moms Against) reminds of nothing more than the inept Imperial storm troopers, the fodder of that particular canon.
I see what you did there.
IMO, Star Wars is fantasy, not SF.
I’m willing to fight anyone who disagrees.
Love the Firefly reference in the last sentence! Things are really getting interesting. My definition of interesting is “Oh God, Oh God we’re all going to die.” Stay safe fellow brown coats!
And you. But we’re gonna win.
Who was the first rebel? Lucy-fer. Been so long away from Papa that he/she/it doesn’t quite know what zir is anymore. Thus, the global push towards androgyny etc. Started in Babylon Uno and achieves summa in Babylon Dos. That’d be the modern West, U.S. in particular.
And yes, the Woke-Fem Politburo has been the Establishment for forty years now, so they must make up ‘offenses’ and lodge false accusations in order to continue to elicit sympathy. Cue Gretch ‘the Wretch’ Whitmer and her fake ‘kidnapping’.
Without public sympathy and acknowledgement of ‘oppression’ — especially from cucked men and DODOs — the Victim Junta has no platform. The Left is pure envy and resentment.
You are right, despite the vileness and terror of the hour, it is exhilarating to oppose an enemy that is pure evil, and that runs the whole world. We are the rebels and the resistance.
Here is probably the best presentation concerning the ruling spirit of the West (tsah-rah, Daniel 12:1) I have yet encountered. This dood did his homework before running his mouth. Recommended.
Remember, Jesus was a rebel, and they didn’t crucify him because he was a fuzzy teddy bear.
“Do they hate violence? No, they love it when it happens in some third-world hellhole.”
Or when it happens here and the victim is White and the perpetrator isn’t.
Exactly. They revel in that.
It will still be death by one thousand cuts. The only thing, IMHO which will motivate the sheeple, normies, and cucks into action is an absolutely tanking economy. When they run out of Nacho Cheese Doritos, Pepsi, Keystone Lite, and Frankenfood Happy Meals for their whelps, they may, JUST MAY(!), take to the streets. Even with the stats which prove to lethality of the jab, and the amount of folks keeling over, no one is going batshit crazy. Amerika will have to go full Weimar, first. Bleib ubrig.
Dweezil, it’s getting closer. I just saw some stats (can’t share) that indicate people are miserable.
Getting closer.
Just spoke w/ a 30+ year friend about the small NC Mtn. resort town where he lives and I did from 1987-2021. No “Zees” want to work, all restaurants are short staffed. He had to drive 8 miles to eat breakfast nearby, as the only place that serves breakfast was closed due to lack of staff.
When the SHTF, they’ll starve.
They will. And I think the male portion of Gen Z have more grit in their guts than you might imagine.
I spend a lot morentimenthan I really want to exposed to Zs. Its not that they dont want to work, per se. They seem to be drastically less willing to do what we would call “shit work”, and are also drastically less of pushovers compared to milennials when it comes to what they’ll take in terms of fuck fuck games from employers.
You (probably) and I joined the workforce at a time when l, die to shortage of work, employers can and did get away with mistreating employees. “Got shorted on pay by 18 hours this week? Suck it up, at least you got something, and nobody else is hiring”. For us, ” wanting to work” meant stomaching whatever was dished out, for whatever pay we could squeeze out of the assholes.
A lot of, I’d say the vast majority of, employers got used to the idea of treating staff that way, especially at the lower end of the income pool.
The Gen Z kids came into the workforce in a time when, well, “nobody wants to work”. They’re acutely aware of the fact that, right now, its a sellers market for employee time. If somewhere won’t pay them their worth? Theyre gone. They’ll make it up on the back end with a side gig of some kind. If somewhere starts gaming their scheduling to keep them out of full time? Same deal, they walk. When they can’t afford to outright quit, they “quiet quit”, the fancy new word for what older union heads may know as a “slowdown” – and while doing it theyre usually already looking for another gig.
I think its fair to say that, as a generation, theyre very quick to embrace Paycheck and theyre right to do so.
excellent presentation and correct to boot
Thank you! Wait until tomorrow’s post!
Trump didn’t make the ‘s***hole countries” comment. It was a democrat. He tried to blame Trump, but even his friends wouldn’t back him up.
Opinion: Rogue One was the best movie of the ‘series’. The science is settled.
Your opinion is correct. I liked that one, mostly. If I had been given final cut it would have been even better.
Last time I was at WDW, the guests/visitors were cheering the STORMTROOPERS when they move thru the crowds in squads… (and they move in character, brusquely, with no regard for the wretched hive of scum and villany, ie, you and me.) They liked being pushed around.
n
Yup. But that’s in tomorrow’s post, too!
Nicely put, I’ve been saying this for years. The left is stuck in some weird way thinking they are some mystical rebel group forever stuck in the 60’s, or at least their fictional and very Mary Sue portrayal of the 60’s. Forever fighting against the MAN, against war, for equality, for all the good stuff in their opinion. They even fashioned their fights for gays, trans, etc. after the (again, fictional mary sue version of the) black civil rights movement.
They can’t accept any other version of reality. And will never listen to a logical argument. They are the Mary Sue in all their stories, no matter what. The Force Awakens is their dream movie, getting to re-live the original only this time they’re the heroes, not Luke.
But they want this without having to earn it – being a hero always costs. And sacrifice is beyond them.
