Kunstler: Rock The Vote

Public Policy

It warmed my heart to read in The Wall Street Journal that Hillary Clinton is preparing to re-enter the Washington DC swamp from her deluxe exile in the woods of Chappaqua, New York, and make another run for the White House — though it’s hard to calculate how many porters in sandals and loincloths will be required to lug all her baggage around the campaign trail. Will hubbie hit the hustings with her? That would be rich. I can just imagine the pussy-hatted legions shrieking #MeToo at every stop. Surely there is no better way to put the Democratic Party out of its misery.

The post-election melodramas in Georgia and Florida grind on, despite the various rules and laws about deadlines for certifying ballots and accounting for their origin. What is a ballot after all but a mere scrap of paper, easily reproducible, and interchangeable. Sometimes, they make strange journeys out of election headquarters in trucks and SUVs, seeking fun and excitement, and they have been known to mysteriously turn up by the hundredweight in broom closets where they retreat to caucus. Only one thing is certain: the ballot fiasco is a billable hours bonanza for DC lawyers arriving on the scene to sort things out — which they may not manage anyway.

If the vote count somehow remains in favor of the provisional winners — Republicans Rick Scott, Ron DeSantis (Fla), and Brian Kemp (Ga) — you can be sure we’ll be in a frenzy of sore loserdom that will make the Medieval ergot outbreaks of yore look like episodes of Peewee’s Playhouse. If the provisional votes get overturned, the attorneys billable hours will quickly exceed the national debt, and we’ll find ourselves in a new era where the free citizens of this republic can‘t be trusted to the simple task of counting ballots, or even holding elections in the first place.

This epic confusion is of a piece with a prediction I made about what happens to government in The Long Emergency: it becomes impotent and ineffectual, and can no longer be depended on to carry out the simplest tasks. The process goes from the top down. At each step, the public loses faith that government can accomplish anything. The Trust Horizon shrinks away from distant authorities… the DC Swamp, the state capitals, and soon the people don’t believe anything or anyone they can’t reach by throwing  a rock.

And so we enter a new stage of collapse. It will be made very much more emphatically worse as the money issues underlying this American malaise unravel in the months ahead. The reason that nothing will be done is that nothing can be done about the country’s intractable technical bankruptcy. The wealth we assumed was there is a fiction and will be expressed in plunging asset values, especially stocks and real estate. And any attempt to “fix” that by the Federal Reserve and its TBTF handmaidens moving to stop losses will only redirect the destruction to the currency itself. When citizens trust neither government nor their money, really bad things happen.

This polity is too far gone in lying to itself for official corrections to avail. Sometimes the only corrective is sheer failure. At least it presents the option of starting over. Of course, Mr. Trump made the fatal mistake of claiming ownership of a “miracle” economy that is about to get stranded on the beach like a dying grunion. His inclination, I’m sure, will be to pretend loudly that nothing is wrong — even as the new model pickup trucks gather dust unsold on the car lots, and the “for sale” signs multiply on lawns everywhere, and the pink slips land at the cubicle work-stations, and the skeleton crews of waiters stand around the empty Olive Gardens and Chipoltles playing liar’s poker with their depreciating dollars.

Meanwhile, the new Democratic majority congress prepares to ramp up its longed-for multi-committee inquisition against Trump and Trumpism, and the Republican Senate will counter-punch with binders of criminal referrals against the superstars of the Resistance. C-Span will be livelier and more colorful than the WWE Wrestlemania round-robin, midget division.

    Funny, you’ve never made a similar comment to Antius. i wonder why?

    Naturally, you support Kunt as he parrots your right-wing Republican views. Kunt’s opinions are based upon where the money in his pocket originates.

    So does your views, boney. Next time your boss make a mistake, tell him he is stupid. See how long you are employed. LOL

    This statement contradicts an earlier comment. According to you, previously he was a “card-carrying Democrat”. When his funding dried up he drifted over to the right-wing Republicon insanity. Occasionally, he drops a Trumptard insult in order not to appear a complete sell-out.

    This is the definition of a dishonest political whore.

    News flash Madkat,

    I have ALWAYS maintained the same consistent views regardless of what my “boss” may think. Stop projecting your approach to others. We are very different people. I don’t sell out whereas you do.

  5. makati1 on Tue, 13th Nov 2018 9:38 pm 

    boney, you may have ‘views’, but I bet you never express them to him/her when they differ. Thinking them is not the same as saying them to his/her face. Carrots and bananas.

    Don’t try that psychological bullshit on me. It doesn’t work.

    BTW: Any relation to delusional Davy? you have the same attitude and method of expression. You are the “sellout”, not me. I am obviously more intelligent as I don’t stay in a burning building, i.e. the US.

    Thousands, like me, leave the US every year for the same reason. The growing dictatorship/police state/failed economy. The Philippines has over 200,000 Americans living here by choice. I’m just one of them. Real freedom.

  6. makati1 on Tue, 13th Nov 2018 9:40 pm 

    Elaborating: “6. Despite being in a supposedly authoritarian country, I feel freer in many ways than in the U.S.

    In the Philippines, I don’t get carded at the bars. I can slug a can of Red Horse beer on the streets of my little neighborhood and nobody gives a shit. Yesterday, I watched a taxi driver get out of his cab and piss on a wall in broad daylight. The policemen and soldiers guarding the malls and businesses are polite and courteous. They’re not looking to lord their power over the little people; they just want to do their jobs and go home. When I was seeking entry at the airport, the immigration officer asked me a grand total of one question before stamping my passport. The other Asian countries I passed through are the same way. For example, when I was going through security in Tokyo, I realized I’d lost my boarding pass. The Japanese officials let me through anyway because they knew the only way for me to get a new pass was to go to the airline desk past the security checkpoint.

    Contrast this to the treatment I got in the U.S.

    When I was boarding my flight in Chicago, some fat black TSA asshole flagged my bag because I was carrying a container of Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay, forcing me to dig through my belongings to prove it wasn’t a liquid. When I went to Las Vegas to meet up with Davis Aurini, Aaron Clarey and the Bechtloff, the TSA flagged my bags going there and back because I had a bottle of contact lens solution. Every time I drive past a state trooper in the U.S., I feel a twinge of fear and pray he doesn’t need to meet his ticket quota by busting me for going five over the limit.

    Americans proclaim themselves “free” even as their lives are governed by an ever-growing list of draconian laws. You can’t set fireworks off on your own property. You can’t buy a gun without the proper permits, and even then you can only buy the guns that the government lets you buy. You can’t renovate your garage without bribing the local homeowners’ association. You can’t obtain testosterone cream (or any kind of useful drug) unless you beg your doctor for a prescription. You can’t speak your mind without an angry mob of left-wing misfits screaming for your head.”

    Consider the utter duplicity of U.S. rulers.  Max Hastings, author of “Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy, 1945-1975”  at Amazon.com, gave a penetrating talk on the Vietnam war at https://www.c-span.org/video/?452973-1/vietnam.  Among other things, both the North Vietnamese and U.S. governments were cruel and utterly amoral, with the Vietnam Communists winning the competition.  (Today, “in Hanoi, mendacity remains institutionalized.”)  Meanwhile, the South Vietnamese government was bottomlessly corrupt, incompetent and hated by the ordinary natives, which made it possible for the North to win.  Among other things, the U.S. generals told our presidents (L.B. Johnson and R. Nixon) that the war was unwinnable by us, but neither cared for anything except his own political survival.  Washington’s decision makers deluded themselves (reinforced by the “domino theory” and the like) and convinced themselves that overwhelming military force would enable them to succeed.  (Of course, success was defined in terms of re-election.)  Among other things, when Nixon assumed office and was told the truth about the conflict, he replied in effect, that the American electorate would never tolerate it if he admitted it.  So he kept the $150 billion war going, and threw away the lives of over 22,000 young men.  He was desperate to conceal from the American people the fact that the war had been lost.

    But the fantasy of American rectitude (“we killed the nasty Nazis!”) and the conviction of the invincibility of our armed forces continue.  The late senator, PTSD-afflicted John McCain, held such views until his death.  One of the main techniques in supporting these and similar crackpot views is our government’s concealment of the facts from the people.  Meanwhile the fiercely totalitarian regime of Vietnam, with its policy of complete secrecy of reality, dominates the entire country.  That was the “success” of the Vietnam war.

  12. Davy on Wed, 14th Nov 2018 4:33 am 

    Thee, I agree with you on the Vietnam thing. It was a war that could have been won by NUKing the place into oblivion. It was a bad time in the 20th century when the US could have used a peace dividend and didn’t. I will say this if you are a warrior you train like you are in war and war like you train. In such a case then perpetual wars serve this purpose. No other nation has experience with war like the US except maybe Israel. This is a sad distinction that is unless you believe in waring. This seems to be the case for the US. Maybe down the road when global collapse sets in the US will not have the means to war perpetually. We will have bigger fish to fry at home.

    Wars are always lost in the end, neder. No war has ever been a success because what has been gained that otherwise could have been gain constructively? Europeans are the best at this destruction over history. Europeans are timid now basking in a civilization of plenty. Euros live happy and in comfort as the US provides their security. The US has done the waring for a very short time the last part of the last century and the first part of this one. Compared to what the Euros have done over a millennium this is nothing. One thing about the US is it has lost very few major engagement on the battlefield. This is especially true since WWII. The Nazi’s kicked our asses a few times but we learned from it. We may not have achieved political goals but we kicked ass on the battlefield since WWII. IMA at great cost to ourselves and others. You Euro’s perfected war and destruction. The US is just carrying on what you perfected. In this respect you can feel great about yourself in your dirty Euro self-knowledge

    Roger Scruton’s article is well worth a read. Originally written for a Hungarian audience, he lays bare the folly of the Marxist project of the European Union and anticipates its complete collapse. His conclusion:
    “We can rescue Europe, it seems to me, only if we can recover the project that Charles de Gaulle wished to place at its heart, and which was effectively scotched by Jean Monnet – the project of a Europe of Nations.”
