Kunstler: Bye Bye American Pie
Way back in the 1950s, the popular euphemism to describe black children struggling in poverty was “underprivileged.” The elegant trope guided the nascent social services industry that reached full flower a few years later in Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty — a cause as lost, it turns out, as the War in Vietnam. The wonder is that it took seventy years for the race-and-gender faculty to come up with the corollary notion that white folks must be excessively privileged, and must be punished for their broken promise to bestow more privilege upon those lacking it.
And so, in the paroxysms of early summer, 2020, with Covid-19 raging world-wide and the floor dropping from underneath our shuck-and-jive economy, and the climate doing… whatever it’s doing… Chuck and Nancy led their privileged minions in a ceremony of penance, taking their knees with shoulders draped in kente shawls of atonement, signifying… wait a minute… signifying what, exactly?
That they were surrendering their privilege? Cue laugh track. What it really signified was how plumb out of ideas they are for correcting this diabolical injustice. Of course, the animating principle of the Woke Inquisition is that nobody is forgiven for anything. Your request for absolution is only proof of your wickedness, requiring further punishment. So, what was to be done, then?
Well, nothing. Moiling mobs of the underprivileged were granted permission to go “shopping” after-hours on Rodeo Drive, Midtown Fifth Avenue, and other upscale zip codes around the country — accompanied by privileged white “allies” piously working out their own Ivy League bad karma. When there was no more schwag left to loot, the mob was invited to stage an orgy of statue-toppling. Nobody interfered with that tantrum, thinking, perhaps, that losing a few public monuments was a small price to pay for preventing some more ghastly blood-in-the-streets scenario. The police were reduced to acting as spectators while awaiting wholesale dismissal from their jobs and enduring the censorious opprobrium of their elected overseers, pledged to defunding law enforcement.
The nation managed to get through its shameful Fourth of July birthday without the demolition of Mount Rushmore or the torching of Mount Vernon, but the Sunday following a virtual army of black former military personnel (so they said), armed with assault rifles and clad in combat drag, marched into Georgia’s Stone Mountain Park, where a colossal bas-relief sculpture stands carved into the rock wall depicting that trinity of Confederate arch-fiends Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and Stonewall Jackson.
The militia styled itself as the Not Fucking Around Coalition (NFAC). It’s leader, name of Grand Master Jay, declared “every descendent of slavery a political prisoner” and proposed to found a new all-black nation — “We’ll take Texas,” GM Jay averred. They affected to be met by an opposing army of white supremacists, but none showed up. Perhaps the enemy was not informed ahead of time. The marchers pretended to be disappointed. “We here, where the fuck you at?” their leader asked. Echo answered…. Battle of Stone Mountain averted.
Now what? What’s next in the escalating 2020 war of (so far) symbols? The resurgence of Covid-19 has prompted more shut-downs, meaning resumed job layoffs, business destruction, and anxious, seething, sweltering boredom for those not privileged to be working from home. The current round of government payments is about over and millions may be facing eviction, mortgage default, car re-po, and other personal catastrophes. Another round of $600 “bonuses” will not avail to solve those problems, and when it’s spent on the imperative need for food, then what?
Well, the political conventions. Personally, and what with the virus rampant, I doubt they will be held in the traditional way — the great civic center jamborees of shoulder-rubbing, sign-waving, and conga-dancing. Meaning that even more than ever before, these extravaganzas will be reduced to mere TV shows that nobody will watch. Could be a boon to the phantom candidacy of Joe Biden, who would remain coolly stashed away in his basement sepulcher, presented to the electorate as a hologram. Then again, an entirely off-stage convention could invite backstage intrigue on the part of those unconvinced that a holographic president will do in this year of pending social and economic collapse. Hillary to the rescue, I’d say.
The embattled and sore-beset Donald Trump looks like he’s on-the-ropes. It’s hard to say if he even comprehends the gravity of this blossoming long emergency or fourth turning crisis. He’s fought off every effort to overthrow him by the Deep States pygmies of sedition, but the collapse of an empire is more like a battle against fate itself. Like him or not, you have to feel for someone in such a monumental struggle.

“Forget TikTok Ban, Trump Aides Discuss Busting The Hong Kong Dollar Peg To Punish China”
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/forget-tiktok-ban-trump-aides-discuss-busting-hong-kong-dollar-peg-punish-china
“According to people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reports that the idea of striking against the Hong Kong dollar peg – perhaps by limiting the ability of Hong Kong banks to buy U.S. dollars – has been raised as part of broader discussions among advisers to Secretary of State Michael Pompeo but hasn’t been elevated to the senior levels of the White House, suggesting that it hasn’t gained serious traction yet. As a reminder, we suggested that one major reason for China’s recent push for everyone and their pet rabbit to buy stocks (sending Chinese markets exploding higher) was dramatic investment outflows from China. This potential ‘strawman’ to break the HKD peg comes a day after we noted the simple maths that if 500,000 Hong Kongers were to leave the city and take USD1m equivalent with them then ceteris paribus, the HKD peg would surely have to go as all FX reserves evaporated. In recent weeks we have seen the HK authorities publicly state they will not impose capital controls – which as a key global financial center should always be unthinkable. Yesterday, after a Chinese official response strongly opposing the UK government making clear it will offer 2.9m Hong Kongers a path to citizenship, the HK authorities had to publicly disavow rumours of a travel ban on its citizens.”

No one even knows how many ameridumbasses have, or (have not), died due to any ‘coronavirus’. The uSgov is so riddled with corruption and incompetence none of its numbers can be trusted. Thus no meaningful conclusions can be drawn from them. What Uruguay’s number DO show, that this fake virus, was never even close to a pandemic in the first place. So I do find it hard to criticize the uS for its ‘response’ to a make-believe virus. Which has mostly consisted of fraud, theft, fake vaccine announcements, and a lot of ginned up statistics to back it all up.
However, we can still draw certain conclusions about the ability of the uS to handle an ACTUAL emergency, and not a fake psyops operation managed by the CDC and the WHO. What we have seen, should remove any doubt that the uS is completely incapable of handling even a fake emergency like ‘covid’ with any kind of competence or professionalism.
So, amerikants, you better pray to jesus, bill gates, and yaweh that an actual virus never appears. Because if it does, you guys are soo foooked.

“Nearly Half Of davy posts are Counter-intelligent China-Bashing: Mak
https://peakoil.com/
“Nearly half of all delusional sinophobe davy’s 5,000 or so active counter-intelligent posts are related to his stupid Chinesedown memes, according to Director JuanP. “We’ve now reached the point where Davy is opening a new China-related counter-intelligent post case approximately every ten minutes or so,” said the PO.com chief, speaking at an event hosted by the intelligent and rational posters Institute. “The greatest long-term threat to PO.coms information, and intelligent posts and to our intelligent conversation is the counter-intelligent goatshit and socking threat from Davy,” he added. Additionally, Davy has been trying to steal the limelight from intelligent, posters, by posting fake bullshit under others names, according to PO.coms, makati1. “At this very moment, Davy is working to compromise PO.coms health, and honest discussions, said makati1, adding “It’s the people who are the intelligent and sane that are victims of what amounts to davys socking and stalking on a scale so massive that it represents one of the largest transfers of stupidity in PO.com history.” “The stakes could not be higher, and the potential harm to intelligent discourse and PO,com as a whole almost defies calculation.” JuanP also described davys efforts to ban him by saying “If you are a rational adult, it is more likely than not that davy has stolen your ID and made one of his stupid sock posts to try and get you banned. … Our ID’s isn’t the only thing at stake here — so are our health, our livelihoods, and our security.” And as Anonymouse said, PO.com Americans should keep three things in mind: Davy is a lunatic who believes he is in a “generational fight” to make only davys opinions at the PO.com heard by any means necessary.” Davy uses a diverse set of methods to achieve his goals, including, stalking, socking, ID theft, pushing for censorship at PO.com, and “malign foreign influence,” referring to his close friend and fellow nutter, cloggo and coercive attempts to convince decent people to advocate for his dumb Chinadown notions. davy is taking advantage of PO.coms open system, while preserving his own close-minded stupidity at every turn, such as by working through ostensibly non-davy sock puppets to achieve his stated goals.”

America’s cultural revolution is just like Mao’s
“There are differences, yes, but when it comes to fundamentals, the two moments have much in common.
For instance, the Red Guards of 1968 often came from privileged backgrounds. The first groups emerged from the elite high schools and universities in Beijing and belonged to the generation that had been born immediately after the Communist takeover in 1949. Raised on stories of revolutionary heroism and bitterly disappointed at the fact they had missed their chance to display their Red credentials.
Hence, when Mao Zedong, for reasons of internecine party warfare, decided to claim — absurdly — that the Communist Party was filled with bourgeois counter-revolutionaries, the young students saw their chance to achieve revolutionary greatness. The Red Guards thus went out, seeking to root out imaginary class enemies from within.
Similarly, today’s revolutionary vanguard is also made up of young, well-educated people, a disproportionate number hailing from elite educational institutions and working within elite professions. They grew up at a time of unprecedented progress in race relations, but it meant the main action was already over when they were coming of age.”
https://unherd.com/2020/07/americas-cultural-revolution-is-familiar-to-the-chinese/
Not ‘just’ like, but close enough that many have made the comparison.
As the new economic reality kicks in many of these bullshit jobs & the university departments that train them are going bye bye.
Bullshit jobs are a product of surplus energy, so rest assured most of the woke culture jobs & education will be among the first to go. This is not the first rodeo for this sort of thing.
White’s law

Corona has shown that you can run society with online-working from home, without much commuting necessary, and zero flying. No need to replace that. As far as I am concerned flying and private car ownership can disappear, without great loss for society and great gain for the environment and quality of life in cities.

…can replace Dutch electricity needs in 10 years. Breakdown:
13 GW continuously current avg Dutch consumption
60% capacity factor offshore 14 MW (now: 9.5 MW)
18 GW nameplate power
14 MW turbines default in 2-4 years time
18000/14 = 1300 turbines required
Installation 5/week = 260 weeks = 5 years
Double that amount for a complete transition and your good in 10 years, not 30, to install the required 100% renewable energy transition. This ignores parallel development onshore wind and solar.

“Deep European Recession Forecast For 2020”
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/deep-european-recession-forecast-2020
https://cdn.statcdn.com/Infographic/images/normal/22213.jpeg
“In its Summer Forecast published today, the European Commission downgraded its own projection from earlier in the year, making for an even grimmer outlook for the EU economy in 2020. The -7.4 percent contraction originally expected has been reassessed to -8.3 percent… And don’t expect the European banks to help, as Daniel Lacalle recently notes, banks may face a tsunami of problems as three factors collide: rise in non-performing loans, deflationary pressures from a prolonged crisis and central bank keeping negative rates that destroy banking profitability. We estimate a rise in net debt to EBITDA of the largest corporations of the Stoxx 600 soaring to 3x from the current 1.8x. This means that banks may face a wall of delinquencies and weakening solvency and liquidity in the vast majority of their assets (loans) just as deflationary pressures hit the economy, growth weakens and the central bank implements even more aggressive but futile liquidity measures and damaging rate cuts. This combination of three problems at the same time may generate a risk of a financial crisis created by using the balance sheet of banks massively to address the bailout of every possible sector. It may undo the entire improvement in the balance sheet of the financial entities achieved slowly and painfully in the past decade and destroy it in a few months. Weakening the balance sheet of banks and hiding larger risk at lower rates in their balance sheets may be an extremely dangerous policy in the long run.”

““Deep European Recession Forecast For 2020””
-8.3% over 2020.
You sure you want to bring up the subject of economic contraction to make the US look good?!

Try to recover from that in 6 months time.
And than there is that BLM anarchistic thingy, paralyzing most of larger your cities, something that the EU doesn’t have to deal with.
Your corona figures are a mess compared to Europe:

lol ,cloggo, all economies had a horrible Q2, try again. The yearly comparison is where the EU is going to look so bad.

Share renewable electricity: Germany….46% China……24%
USA……..14%
Strip out all the others and get to wind and solar, cloggo, for China and the US. BTW, Germany is stalling and I wonder why. LOL.
The US has a lot of mountains with a lot of hydro, making the renewable energy figures better than they actually are, something Germany hardly has, but China does. Especially if you realize that the Rockies will go back to Mexico, “after the break”. Bye-bye hydro, no such luck in the flat Heartland. No worries though, we’ll deliver turbines after the break in return for grain and meat, provided it is produced according to our high standards.
Germany renewable energy stalling?

H1-2019 44%
OK, Corona had a lot to do with it as the wind keeps blowing and the sun keeps shining even if demand for energy is reduced.
But the “stalling” has a lot to do with NIMBY-resistance, not with money or some other reason. Regulations are in the works to counter that.

Dream on with your stalling, you better worry about the bros from St. Louis now that you no longer can flee to Italy. Perhaps consider renting a room with makati1? No?

Ass pimple, cloggo, a few demonstrations in a few places that you hype up as nationwide. BS. You can’t stand the fact your EU has the dirtiest shirt yet you still do your Anglo derangement to hide your dirt!

Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar Calls For “Dismantling” Of U.S. “Economy & Political Systems”
Note that this Teletubbie is a representative (Dems). Political standards in the US are falling more rapid than B373-Max.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletubbies
Something tells me that this 7th century zombie, teleported to the US, doesn’t have whitey’s best interest at heart.
If the Dims win in November, expect the US economy and political system to be “dismantled”, to begin with with the Constitution, written by “racists” and will be abolished. It will be nothing less than a 1917-revolution revisited. This time Uncle Schmull’s proletariat will be “of color”.
Exect empire dave to explain to us that he has nothing to do with it all, as the US is big and St. Louis East is at least one hour drive from his goat farm.

“Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar Calls For “Dismantling” Of U.S. “Economy & Political Systems”
You are doing the derangement thingy again, cloggo. Omar is a fringe lunatic of the democratic left. She is not a nationwide force you want her to be.
“Note that this Teletubbie is a representative (Dems). Political standards in the US are falling more rapid than B373-Max.”
You are so colorful cloggo.
“If the Dims win in November, expect the US economy and political system to be “dismantled”, to begin with with the Constitution, written by “racists” and will be abolished. It will be nothing less than a 1917-revolution revisited. This time Uncle Schmull’s proletariat will be “of color”.”
Cloggo, if they win and how much they win is a big unknown but suffice to say even if they win more than they have now the divisions in DC will prevent much from happening. Cosmetic things may happen but not much in the way of real power. You are clueless with American politics. You cherry pick the most extreme and hype it for days like that will make it real. You are a stupid Dutch Natzi that got his pride hurt because you got your ass kicked twice in the last century. You can’t stand that and this is why you are always making your postage stamp country more than it is or talking up Dutch history like it was yesterday.
“Exect empire dave to explain to us that he has nothing to do with it all, as the US is big and St. Louis East is at least one hour drive from his goat farm.”
Cloggo, I am 2 ½ hours from St Louis and further to east St Louis. This is yet another example where you distort the fact because you are a deranged extremist. You lie out your teeth. I take you down daily when I can. Sometimes your shit is so voluminous and redundant I just let it fly. I mean you are just looking sick. The cloggo Brexit went on for 3 years of which we were told about the iron curtain and battles along the channel nonsense. You are mentally ill cloggo, get help. Surely your wife sees it or maybe you keep her in the closet.
