Anger Around The Web

As expected, a large amount of anger has erupted among the middle class now that its illusion of freedom and justice within the system is shattered. I re-print some of the invectives here not to endorse any particular one, but simply to remind that many of the people who make this country work are enraged or are dropping out, which spells trouble for everyone enamored of the status quo. [Occasional foul language.]

Nope, you are not going to get rid of this crap peacefully. Pinochet 2016 anyone?

It took last night for it to finally sink in, but I have finally reached my John Galt moment. I am disappearing from the voter lists. I will no longer participate in the charade. I will never vote again.

Obama's re-election was an affirmation of the new identity for America in which failure is celebrated over success. Learn from it, and the next time you're inspired to do a little extra to better yourself, or work a little harder, just dial it back. The new America says that kind of thinking is for suckers...and subversives. Buy ammo.

Now is not the time to double-down with Beck and Hannity. Now is the time to begin the resistance. Voting for Bush/McCain/Romney was not the way to resist. Neither will be voting for Rubio or Allen West. Voting is not the answer. The GOP is not going to learn any lesson from Mitt's debacle. It will be more of the same next time around, but with more melanin. Resistance needs to begin in the spiritual realm and in the realm of ideas and morals. We are now emancipated from the Movement. We have been freed. Let us then live in freedom--interior freedom. Let us develop the interior strength to resist. This is where the counter-revolution will begin: within.

Wheee! Down the slippery slope to the third world.

This is what happens when people with no skin in the game are allowed to dictate policy.

It is official there are now more takers than makers in the U.S. it has officially become a socialist country.

Once again, it is clear as the rising sun that in these United States we are two incompatible peoples and we do not share the same understanding of the Rights of Englishmen, or American freedoms, or the proper role of government, and no amount of repeated voting will create agreement. For our mutual safety and happiness, we are and ought to be separate and apart, free to pursue our own vision of prosperity, security, and common welfare.

I told a close friend tonight that I'm honestly just tired of trying. I feel like a decent, middle class existence is completely out of my reach. I told her that I don't think it's worth trying for that any more. I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that I should keep my eyes open for any opportunities at real wealth, but otherwise I'm ready to just check out. Just scrounge around for part time work and otherwise kick back, relax, read, play games, whatever.

I guess there isn't anything to do but move to a red state and try to keep it as red as possible at the local/state level and hope you can keep an influx of immigrants and fleeing liberals from other crashing states away.

What we're seeing here is normal. It has happened many times before. It's the late-stage, large-scale invasion of a decadent wealthy empire by barbarians seeking better lives who don't understand what made the system work in the first place. It happens to every empire in time, and it is fascinating to watch it take place in real time. It's not the end of the world, it's simply part of the societal life cycle. Unfortunately, the violent part lies ahead.

I was 100% convinced Romney would win, and I've been certain of it for more than a year -- even when almost everyone was saying Obama would be re-elected. Phfft, never! Part of the lingering shock would have to be realization that I don't understand the country I'm living in. At all. Only a smouldering 3rd world dungheap could re-elect someone like this...

I know exactly how you feel. The sense of alienation is profound. There are a lot of people in this country who are no longer represented in any way by the government that is supposed to protect them and their interests. I really think it's over. Unfortunately, there's nowhere else to go. It's not just the US that's over, it's the West in general.

But degenerate, financially profligate American cities need other people’s money to remain on life support. The culture wars were lost long ago, but if the right wants to go down with a fight it needs to starve the beast and keep every penny it can out of the public sector. Every penny.

The US is toast as no Republican (unless left of center) and definitely no Conservative will ever hold the Presidency again. The visual yesterday and some of the commentary in major news outlets gleefully acknowledging the death of the "lily white" GOP was beyond sickening.

The November 6 outcome only confirms that the Welfare/Warfare state has entered its death spiral. Nothing will stop it. Survival should be the focus.

There is no escape for the Republic this time.

This shouldn't simply be about the South anymore; all the people of the states of the union who still give a rip about what's left of the ordered liberty of our ancestors, from South Carolina to Montana, ought to be blazing hot. Let this flawed paradigm of an increasingly despotic and tyrannical consolidated union (Thank you, General Lee!) go into the dustbin of history.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.”

I feel like we are living in Rome, circa AD 300 or 350, perhaps even as late as 450. We have to be prepared to rebuild AFTER the massive collapse. I just hope we survive the martial law which will be a part of the transition.

The white union working classes in the Rust Belt, those mythologized, illiterate assholes wearing windbreakers in Chevy truck ads who get teary-eyed when Bob Segar or "The Boss" bellows noise pollution their way, voted for the Sugar Daddy who bailed-out their precious auto industry and promised more union power. Had Reagan destroyed the unions as thoroughly as Thatcher did in Britain, we would have a much healthier politics today. Indeed, a creature like Obama would not have been possible in the first place. Southerners GET IT; northern working class people somehow don't. The whites of Flint, Youngstown, Cleveland and Pittsburgh are nothing but white welfare queens. They live in their own plantation, where anything with a "D" next to it is good and true. Stupid proles voted themselves into a gulag. Hope they rot in it.

We are now Occupied America. An alien philosophy, ideology rules us.

We're headed for an openly one-party system. Soon enough there won't be an alternative and we'll be just another banana republic.

I have voted for the last Republican I believe I ever will. Just signed on to the Texas Nationalist Movement. Losing (until a tipping point is reached) my vote will be for libertarian policies and secession from a corrupt, over-reaching, very large and well financed federal government.

To the typical Obama-voting Ameritard, freedom means someone else pays for her existence from Head Start to Medicare and Social Security and all the birth control in between.

GAME OVER!--Someone shut out the lights on the way out I don't want to see the Zombies before they gorge on my over worked, over taxed body. I will rest peacefully knowing they will eat their own when they've robbed, raped & pillaged everyone else -- WELCOME TO THE NEW SOMALIA!

Step one: Ignore the government and its various institutions the best you can and stop waving its silly little flag. In other words, mentally secede. Step two: Think locally, act locally. If you must, focus on local politics first. Focus on the village, township or county level.

I said before the only way constitutional America survives is through secession or some sort or mass violence. Most probably a combination of both.

People throughout the South have been talking secession since Wednesday morning...there is a petition on whitehouse.gov to let Louisiana secede...local officials in Texas are saying that Texas can do better on its own...

They will declare war upon us and blame us for the war if we try to defend ourselves. It isn't as if they have not done so before. The insatiable maw of statism requires huge numbers of serfs. This is why socialists always insist that everyone must be part of their utopian vision, even if participation is compelled at gunpoint: institutionalized slavery requires slaves. . . . A time for choosing approaches.

I am very much in favor of secession.

Ukraine could not have unilaterially seceded from the USSR. But when Ukraine, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and the others all decided to go at more or less the same time, even the long arm of Moscow was too weak to hold them by force. A governors' meeting in some secure venue is called for. We can secede -- and succeed -- if we act as one. "Spirit of 1989."
