The Triumph of Mankind Over the Great Reset

Public Policy

In The Dystopic Great Reset and the Fight Back: Population Reduction and Hope for the Children of Men , our Part I, we developed on our previous essays on planned obsolescence and the problems of the old paradigm as we enter the 4th Industrial Revolution. We looked at how several science fiction works like ‘The Virus’ and ‘Children of Men’ in culture actually predicted and lent to us an understanding the new reified nightmare being built around us. Finally, we looked at Althusser’s ‘ISA’, Ideological State Apparatus and how this was developed towards a politically correct elite culture which opened the door to the so-called ‘new normal’, where slavery and self-harm are virtue signals.

At the end of ‘The Dystopic Great Reset and the Fight Back […]’ that it would be necessary to trace aspects of the history of the social contract in order to lay the foundation of understanding

In our previous essay ‘Capitalism After Corona Lockdown: Having the Power to Walk Away, we also then posed the question of the social contract itself.

Because the vast majority of us today are born into civilization, we don’t always think about its origins in terms of the agency of individuals who joined or formed the first civilizations. We tend to be taught through our institutions that it was something in between voluntary and natural, and the great 19th century nationalist romanticism promoted a view of self-determination of peoples, a view that would later be taken up by nationalist and leftist movements around the world in the 20th century – later enshrined in the UN.

But much of the story of the first state-building civilizations, understanding that people are a resource when organized and put to work, is that some balance between slavery and half-freedom rests at its foundation.

The mass production of books and guns, which came about within the same historical period, entirely upended the old foundation of class society. The mass production of guns and books may have, at a certain point, been seen as powerful reinforcements for the status quo. Larger armies could be effectively armed at lower cost. The Ideological State Apparatus, as we can infer from Althusser, could be disseminated and internalized more effectively. But as with technology, came its dual-use features. The very technologies developed with an eye at perfecting the control mechanisms within the status quo of oligarchic orders, in keeping up with the technologies that other competing power networks (countries, kingdoms, nations, etc.), can be turned on its head if these technologies were democratized and fell into the hands of the broadest possible numbers of people. Such was the process both in the American Revolution, and also for instance in the Vietnamese resistance to Japanese, French, and American colonialism in the last century.

For the first time in many centuries, knowledge and brute force were no longer an insurmountable near-monopoly held by the state or those it could compromise. The gun – the great equalizer of men, and the book – the great liberator of minds.

Since that epoch of great emancipation and promise, technology has continued with this contradictory path of dual-use. However, the balance of power and the natures of technologies hitherto developed has shifted tremendously, favoring the status quo and disempowering the broad masses. This lamentable condition, however, is upended by the applied technologies which the real 4th Industrial Revolution (not the World Economic Forum’s model) brings into being.

In the last epoch of the 20th century, we had begun a dangerous trajectory to a blind-sighted overspecialization (compartmentalization/fachidiotizmus) which are the hallmarks of technocracy, and away from the liberatory epoch of centuries past which gave rise to constitutional republics.

In the past, before the old liberatory epoch, just as a military class was reliant on exclusive access to armaments, today is characterized by a combination of pharmaceutical and social programming through media which are powers out of the reach of the people. This rise and perfection of what Heidegger would define and what Marcuse would characterize as a permanently stable techno-industrial bureaucratic mode of society, characterizes today’s world of social-media influencing, anti-depressants, mass psychological operations such as virtual or holographic pandemics (HIV, Covid-19, etc.), and the surveillance state.

This part is most important in establishing that for the foreseeable future, escaping the 4th Industrial Revolution is an impossibility. At the same time, the dual-use nature of the technologies still hold some liberatory potential, but the past methods of arriving at these has changed.

This means that the ideology of the ruling class is tremendously important. Unlike revolutionary republican and bolshevist conceptions of power and change which share an insurrectionist presumption premised in the liberatory age of guns and books (which made the ‘political soldier’ a possibility), we have increasingly entered a zenith point in social-control technologies wherein the likelihood of a controlled group winning a contest for power against the controlling group approaches zero, if we imagine this as a contest between armed groups wherein the military acts not in the interests of their extended families, but in the interests of those writing the checks.

Such limitations were already understood by those influenced by bolshevism, such as Antonio Gramsci in his discussion of hegemony in his Quaderni del Carcere. Cultural hegemony is a war of attrition over the entire ideological terrain, a component of what today we might call full-spectrum dominance. This parallels (and must have influenced) the later Althusserian conception of the Ideological State Apparatus (ISA).

The single-most revolutionary legal document to have arisen in the course of the last three-hundred years in the western tradition was the U.S. Constitution. At its foundation rests the assumption that man is born free, and enters into a social contract willingly, a view supported by a view of natural rights, natural law, and an equality of the soul endowed by the creator.

It is a social contract that man enters into every-day, and can exit any-day.

To understand the liberatory potential of a 4th Industrial Revolution is to understand the dual-use nature of technology in the history of liberatory epochs.

Before the rise of computers and robots performing much of the labor in society, societies grew in strength as they grew in people. With automation and roboticization, human beings become a surplus cost of no consequence to production provided that society itself is not anthropocentric.

The new normal being proposed, is one with no freedom of thought, let alone expression. It is one with social credit, tagging people as if they were animals on a wildlife reserve, and the total regimentation of every-day life. The contours of what techno-industrial civilization can lead to, of what scientific tyranny looks like, is not only visible to us now, but has been creeping into our lives for the past century.

The response to this in the U.S. has been an increasing support for Trump and the phenomenon that can really be described as ‘Trumpism’, which despite the media hologram of a Biden victory will most probably result in a second Trump administration. Trumpism has become synonymous with Constitutionalism, despite the revenge-fantasy language and tropes employed by a disconcerting segment of its base. In England, we have seen a parallel movement of the post-left, and a rise in ‘common law’ activism and an activist education campaign surrounding the meaning of the Magna Carta. For these parallel reasons, we had also previously characterized the Trump phenomenon as the child of a frustrated Occupy Wall Street movement after its affair with the Tea Party, but back in numbers and strength by a dispossessed working class long ago betrayed by organized labor, the DNC, and imbalanced trade deals with China.

But while these responses (with their defects and limitations) are a healthy sign, they do not yet have the depth to articulate a countering vision for society which also takes into account the state of technology as it exists today. That is why we have not seen a very thorough public discussion on the reality of technology, and the state of matters which are real and present.

Instead, we see from the conservative reaction to the 4IR – a reaction which raises all of the correct concerns and levies all of the correct criticisms against the banker’s version of it. This historically parallels the Luddites, who saw at the start of the 19th century that mass industry was replacing the work of the skilled trades and craftsmen with machines.

Their solution, to destroy the machines, failed primarily because machines produce more in volume than men. Even if they had won the political battle, it would have only been a matter of time before a competing society fully utilizing industry would over-take theirs. And perhaps this here tells the entire story of the conquest over nomadic and agriculturalist societies at the hands of the state-building, techno-industrial societies even thousands of years ago.

And so we arrive at the stark truth – there is no running or hiding from the future.

It is the task of free citizens to take ahold of the emerging new technologies into their own hands, for their own purposes: to live in society that acts towards human freedom and dignity of the soul. A world where our small children can grow up in a world without unnecessary humility or fear. A world where there is promise and hope, a promise truly justified by a real-existing society around them based upon what is true, what is beautiful, and what is good.

    Living a Lie: We Deceive Ourselves to Better Deceive Others

    “People mislead themselves all day long. We tell ourselves we’re smarter and better looking than our friends, that our political party can do no wrong, that we’re too busy to help a colleague. In 1976, in the foreword to Richard Dawkins’s The Selfish Gene, the biologist Robert Trivers floated a novel explanation for such self-serving biases: We dupe ourselves in order to deceive others, creating social advantage. Now after four decades Trivers and his colleagues have published the first research supporting his idea.

    Psychologists have identified several ways of fooling ourselves: biased information-gathering, biased reasoning and biased recollections. The new work, forthcoming in the Journal of Economic Psychology, focuses on the first—the way we seek information that supports what we want to believe and avoid that which does not.”

    “Joe Biden picks former Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen to be first female Treasury Secretary and brings back John Kerry as climate czar as Democrats’ cabinet takes shape”

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8979515/Joe-Biden-picks-former-Federal-Reserve-chair-Janet-Yellen-female-Treasury-Secretary.html

    Skimming through the names on the list:

    Yellen, Kerry (Kohn), Blinken, Klain.

    Most of Biden early picks are jews, despite the fact that they only constitute 2% of the population. No surprises here. No affirmative action laws applied here. All pigs are equal, you see, but some are more equal.

    American whitey is down for the count. Expect a massive increase of importing “soldiers” from the third world, to create new electoral facts and to be used against whitey. For Europeans, America is just as interesting as Nigeria.

    https://documents1940.wordpress.com/2018/05/21/european-america-is-over/

    The complete erasure of white culture is next, every statue will be toppled, demands for enormous reparations, affirmative action and promotion of monkey culture.

    Well… if the transition proceeds smoothly, that is. Not there yet.

    “Talkin’ Turkey”

    https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/talkin-turkey/

    The legal battle over that brazen theft has incited some exciting fightin’ phrases, mostly coming from freelance attorney Sidney Powell, an informal adjunct to the president’s official lawyers, Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani. Miz Powell has promised to “release the kraken” and “blow up Georgia” in a “Biblical” firestorm of fatal writs, “fixing to overturn the results of this election” — leaving us early this week in the spooky eye of post-election sturm-and-drang, with the real action yet to come.

    The president and the RNC lost a bunch of state court cases the past week and, naturally, that discouraged the pro-Trump troops across “red” America — which is mostly everything between Hackensack and Fresno. But these weak pleadings might have been designed to simply speed the process through the states so as to get the main arguments before the US Supreme Court…

    If the SCOTUS agrees to hear the case — a big “if” — they may be extremely reluctant to rule affirmatively because 1) they’ll be venturing into a poorly-mapped constitutional frontier, and 2) the recent confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, installing a conservative super-majority on the court, will look as much like a setup to the blue staters as the Dominion vote fraud looks like a setup to the reds. But then, if the case is strong enough, SCOTUS does have the legal prerogative to de-certify state elections, sinking both candidates below the 270 electoral vote mark and rolling the giant, reeking hairball into the House of Representatives where Mr. Trump would enjoy a distinct advantage. Cue Antifa and BLM…

    It’s hard to imagine that Miz Powell and Mr. Giuliani would sacrifice their reputations on some kind of bluff…

    One result of these final innings in the contest will be the delegitimizing of Ol’ White Joe Biden as president, should his forces finally prevail…

    Half of America will not only refuse to buy it, but it will incite a counter-resistance on the right as determined as Hillary’s pussyhat brigades and bureaucrat activists of the post-2016 era, and possibly more bloodthirsty, especially if the left makes a move to confiscate guns…

    Morale, it is only over until it is over. Even if Biden would enter the White House on January 20, it will do nothing to defuse the polarization in the country, because the cause of the split is ethnic identity, which can’t cancelled. The only question is by who and when is the fuse going to be lit. America is past expiration date.

    “Outrage as Paris police violently break up a makeshift camp, dispersing hundreds of homeless refugees, as France’s interior minister seeks a ‘detailed report’ on the incident captured in shocking footage”

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8980211/Paris-police-filmed-violently-breaking-makeshift-camp-dispersing-hundreds-homeless-refugees.html

    Excellent! These “refugees” are enemy-combattants, who are after our lands, wealth and civilization, just look at America what happens if you let them in in great numbers.

    The mood in France and elsewhere in Europe is changing. God sent Brexit is only adding to our chances to escape from Anglosphere and team up with Russia and China.

    Lew Rockwell, not really a blood-thirsty extremist, himself posted this yesterday:

    https://www.lewrockwell.com/political-theatre/why-america-faces-a-civil-war-there-is-no-alternative/

    Which leads to this link:

    https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/civil-unrest/why-america-faces-a-civil-war-there-is-no-alternative/

    “Why America faces a civil war – there is no alternative”

    The czarist conservatives in Russia-1917 had come to the same conclusion. The cards of white America are better than those of the white Russians: the white Americans don’t have to win, just not lose. A stalemate and split will be just fine. At least the US is guaranteed to lose its empire, regardless who wins. The US empire down means the UN=NWO and “Great Reset” down and out, once and for all.

    Here is the clip from Ted Cruz (below) interrogating BigTech. Note that the Democrats want them to suppress “populism” or any expression of freedom that the Democrats are against. This is not a normal election. BigTech is playing the very same role as the press during the Russian Revolution and are against our basic freedom and rights. This is about changing the United States and I am warning, if Biden takes the White House which is looking more likely with the press ignoring the electoral college and declaring Biden president already, we may even see the end of elections by 2022. At the very least, the United States will plunge into violence with the prospect of civil war erupting as soon as 2022 but no later than 2024.

    I share the timeline. In the unlikely event that Trump will win the election after all, CW will be postponed until 2024. If Biden gets the WH, it will be earlier.

    60-40 that CW will happen in the first place.

    Many potential triggers:

    – Dems arms confiscation attempt
    – Foreign war, like in the SCS or Iran
    – Economic and/or financial collapse

    Oh No Kuntslur is predicting civil war 2.0 again.

    Same as he predicted Hillary & the other Russiagate perpetrators would be prosecuted & imprisoned – twice a week for the last 4 years.

    Kunt’s sucker readership believed it twice a week for the last 4 years and now they’re believing the Civil war meme & a last minute Trump election victory – same fantasy the Nazis/Germans believed in the last year of their existence before they were raped & ruined.

    The more it don’t come true the more they believe it will.

    The Many Ways We Lie to Ourselves
    How honest are you with yourself?

    Everyone is in denial about something. Self-deception, or lying to yourself, is simply a motivated false belief. False beliefs can satisfy important psychological needs of the individual (e.g., confidence in one’s abilities). The following are some of the lies we tell ourselves.

    1. Ignorance is bliss.

    One of the most difficult problems in sustaining goals is how to persist in the face of negative feedback. Strategic ignorance can help to achieve persistence. How? Avoid information sources that could demotivate you (Benabou and Tirole 2002). For example, someone who says “till death do us part” during the marriage ceremony need not be aware of the divorce statistics.

    2. Reality denial.

    Denial is a psychological defense we all use against external realities to create a false sense of security. Denial can be a protective defense in the face of unbearable news (e.g., cancer diagnosis). In denial, people say to themselves, “This is not happening.” For instance, alcoholics insist they have no drinking problem.

    3. Overconfidence.

    Overconfident individuals think that they are blessed, that they are well-liked by others, and that they’ll come out on top. (As the bumper stickers state: “Jesus loves you, but I’m his favorite.”) For example, 90 percent of all drivers think they are above average, and 94 percent of professors at a large university were found to believe that they are better than the average professor. Unrealistic optimism can have significant health consequences. Psychologist Loren Nordgren (2009) found that among a group of people trying to quit smoking, the ones who gave especially high ratings to their own willpower were most likely to fail.

    4. Self-handicapping.

    This behavior could be considered the opposite of overconfidence. If a person is uncertain about her true ability and afraid to find out what her true ability is, she might refrain from doing the work that might reveal her as having a low ability. In such a case, a successful performance could be attributed to skill, while an unsuccessful performance could be externalized as due to the lack of good preparation.

    5. How I like myself to be seen.

    People like to be perceived favorably, by themselves and by others, but some personality traits that carry a high social value (altruism and fair-mindedness) are not directly observable to outsiders. Our actions, however, offer a window into our personality and tastes (Benabou and Tirole, 2004). For example, giving money to a panhandler, or changing Facebook profile photos to honor the victims of some new tragedy.

    6. Cherry-picking data.

    People tend to embrace information that supports their beliefs and reject information that contradicts them. For instance, people require more information to accept an undesirable idea than they do for a desirable one.

    7. Sour grapes.

    In Aesop’s fable, the fox tries hard to get his hands on a tasty vine of grapes, but fails in all of his attempts to acquire the grapes; at which point, the fox convinces himself that he really didn’t want those grapes that badly after all. In the presence of dissonance (awareness of different beliefs), the individual feels psychologically uncomfortable and attempts to reduce it. The motive is to maintain a positive self-image.

    8. Me and others.

    Psychologists use the term attributions (or causes) for people’s explanations of the events in their lives. We tend to attribute our success to our enduring character traits, and our failures to unfortunate circumstances. For example, when we say, “You failed, because you did not try hard enough; I failed, because I had a headache from staying up all night with my son.” An alcoholic may be happy to tell himself he “just cannot help it” in order to have an excuse for persisting.

    The key aspect of these lies is that people treat (or search for) evidence in a motivationally biased way. Self-deception can be like a drug, numbing you from harsh reality, or turning a blind eye to the tough matter of gathering evidence and thinking (Churchland, 2013). As Voltaire commented long ago, “Illusion is the first of all pleasure.”

    Deaths of Despair and the Psychological Wages of Whiteness

    Racism and policies supported by a majority of poor and working-class white voters can kill them.

    “In 2017 alone, 158,000 Americans died from what Princeton economists Anne Case and Angus Deaton deem “deaths of despair” — a disturbing triumvirate of suicide, alcohol and opioid-related deaths that primarily have ravaged the middle-aged poor and working-class whites.

    To put these numbers in stark terms, “That is the equivalent of three, full 737 MAXs falling out of the sky every day,” they lament, “with no survivors.”

    https://www.commondreams.org/views/2020/03/19/deaths-despair-and-psychological-wages-whiteness

    “The United States is in the throes of a colossal health crisis. In 2015 life expectancy began falling for the first time since the height of the AIDS crisis in 1993. The causes—mainly suicides, alcohol-related deaths, and drug overdoses—claim roughly 190,000 lives each year.

    The casualties are concentrated in the rusted-out factory towns and depressed rural areas left behind by globalization, automation, and downsizing, but as the economists Anne Case and Angus Deaton demonstrate in their new book, Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism, they are also rampant in large cities. Those most vulnerable are distinguished not by where they live but by their race and level of education. Virtually the entire increase in mortality has been among white adults without bachelor’s degrees—some 70 percent of all whites. Blacks, Hispanics, college-educated whites, and Europeans also succumb to suicide, drug overdoses, and alcohol-related deaths, but at much lower rates that have risen little, if at all, over time.”

    https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2020/03/26/left-behind-life-expectancy-crisis/

    Why don’t they ‘just say NO’ like Nancy & Ronnie said?

    For decades the ‘just world’ conservatives told the impoverished drunks & addicts to take personal responsibility & pull themselves up by their boot straps.

    Now that the boot is on the other foot their tune has changed.

    Now that it’s their kind suffering, the responsibility & blame belongs to everybody but them. Their victims now.

    180 degree turn of convenience.

    Fucking cop out by weaklings who’ve folded at the first sign of adversity.

    If they used just a fraction of the energy they burn on bitching & blaming to improve themselves they would be able to better compete in a world that will never stand still.

    Adapt or die. Same as it ever was or will be.

    Oh & fuck off with the never ending hollow threats of violence. Too much crying wolf for years & years only makes you look weaker.

    Put up or shut up pussies. Y’all might want to change your diet & get fit first since real war is a huge physical endeavour that takes place outdoors with no PaPa Johns delivery or central heating & cooling.

    Oh No Kuntslur is predicting civil war 2.0 again.

    The more it don’t come true the more they believe it will.

    The optimism of children & degenerate gamblers.

    Count yourself as one of them. Your belief in your tribe’s invincibility is just as premature and archaic. Not that you will ever learn from history, too seductive is the dream of being “God’s Chosen People”.

    Kunstler has learned his lesson and would prefer to live a quiet life among white people, the only audience he has, but not the arrogant prick that you are… until it is too late. You will continue to attack white people until you have them where you want them: in the Gulag, with people of color doing the supervising.

    Success is not assured though, history teaches us:

    “Put up or shut up pussies.”

    Be careful with what you wish for. The people of the GDR were the most docile people of the entire Soviet block. Now it is a hot bed for right-wing activism in Germany.

    This is going on now for 5 years, every week:

    Unfortunately, civil war if it does happen between red states and blue states, is likely to play out much as the last one did. The Blue coasts would have most of the money, industrial capacity and a greater population. The new confederacy would stand even less chance than the last one.

    There will be no such war like CW1. It will be asymmetrical, hit-and-run. IRA, although Biden won’t love this one.lol.

    This article from John Michael Greer sounded ridiculously pessimistic when I read it in 2004. Now I’m not so sure.

    “Dominion’s Trump-Hating Executive Eric Coomer Performed a Suspicious Update in Georgia a Week Before Early Voting Started”

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/dominions-trump-hating-executive-eric-coomer-performed-suspicious-update-georgia-week-early-voting-started/

    “In early October, a week before early voting started in Georgia, Eric Coomer updated all the voting machines in Georgia. A report at 11 Alive news in Georgia reported: The state told us last week that the update was routine. But the sheer scope of the update of the state’s 34,000 or so voting machines is what’s raising eyebrows. The biggest update occurred last week at Fulton County’s voter warehouse in northwest Atlanta. Critics have filed suit to scuttle the voting machine because they say the update is more than Georgia’s 159 counties can safely handle. In GA, during (late?) Sept, Dominion’s radical Leftist Eric Coomer made a “critical software change” to GA’s Dominion voting machines “without adequate testing or certification from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission”.

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/breaking-wisconsin-group-filing-emergency-petition-finding-150000-potentially-fraudulent-votes/

    “The national conservative group Amistad Project filed an emergency petition Tuesday with the Wisconsin Supreme Court challenging the state’s unofficial results in the 2020 presidential election, saying it has identified over 150,000 potentially fraudulent ballots. Results from the Nov. 3 balloting in the state show Democratic candidate Joe Biden defeated President Trump by a roughly 20,000-vote margin. Phill Kline, director of the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, said the number of potentially fraudulent ballots identified are “more than enough to call into question the validity of the state’s reported election results.” “Moreover, these discrepancies were a direct result of Wisconsin election officials’ willful violation of state law,” he also said. “
