No Kings 2

Lomez has the best take on the No Kings protests.

If you look at the crowds, it is all elderly White liberals who watch CNN and MSNBC. The crowds were overwhelmingly White even in Southern cities like Atlanta and Birmingham.

The No Kings protests are a spasm of rage by a peculiar type of White Boomer liberal whose worldview was shaped by the 1960s and 1970s. Trump has shattered their core beliefs about the direction of history. The “moral arc of the universe” was supposed to bend toward antiracism.

“I’ve been fascinated by the observation that all of the anti-Trump energy, especially these street protests, has been so dominated by boomer age libs. In talking to them (which I recommend you do if given the chance) I’ve found their beliefs are mostly a hodgepodge of disconnected grievances and frayed moral suppositions (true of most political belief across the board tbf) but rooted in a very particular sense of their generational aspirations crumbling at their feet and without the neural elasticity to understand or reconcile these failures except by invoking hardened and pre-formed root evils like “Nazism” and “fascism.”

These things don’t mean anything of course. They’re just placeholders for forces they can’t or won’t bring themselves to confront directly. It’s probably the case that the dissolution of any utopian fantasy ends like this. I wonder if conversations at the end of the Soviet Union had a similar cast. The old fervent believers, aware on some level the project was dead, but still bitterly possessive of the righteousness of their cause and committed to the very end to insisting that “if only but for capitalism…” etc.

Makes me consider that maybe most revolutions aren’t dramatic or violent but the mundane passing of authority across divides of incalcitrant misunderstanding. Max Planck’s line about science progressing one funeral at a time as a corollary to political life.

Post war liberalism dies when the boomers die. I think they know this. The rallies/protests then are just one last futile objection to what is inevitable. Raging against the dying of the light. I find this commendable in a certain way, if annoying and entirely misguided. I have a grudging respect for their determination, but also this derangement is unhealthy and ultimately undignified (which I guess is a perfectly fitting end; going out in the 2020s in the same self-indulgent, performative manner they arrived in the 1960s). I wish them the peace they were searching for. But it’s time for them to go home.”

  3. Keep in mind,
    Boomers were the first generation in the history of the world to be raised on TV. Never before in history have so many been formed by a single institution , with the exception of religion. TV totally indoctrinated them on their views toward race, culture and political persuasion. All three networks were in the hands of the same tribe. They are too saturated in propaganda to realize that their opinions are not their own and They will go to their Graves infused with the kosher idiocy.

    • The boomer generation is not only the most self-indulgent, self-righteous, destructively prideful generation, they are also the most conformist. In spite (or because of) their college degrees they cannot think for themselves. They are simply repeating the latest Left-Wing propaganda from the dying MSM’s owners and “experts” they invoke, something they have done all their lives.

      They are unable to engage in or accept real criticism, think rationally instead of having childish temper tantrums when challenged. They don’t have an ounce of dignity. They cannot accept that the world they grew up in, that gave them everything, is going away. Its expiration date has arrived and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

      With Au touching $4,300+/Troy ounce and Ag over $50/Troy ounce we may be on the verge of another 2008 (or worse) financial crisis that may suddenly leave the boomer generation in poverty. They have had justified faith in money and its proxies, like the stock market/real estate, all their lives. That era may be coming to an end. Their debt fueled ride through life is over, time to pay the piper.

  6. The above Chicago baboon just delivered a word salad of political slogans, sounding like any African dictator babbling gibberish.
    ‘Democracy ‘, which we aren’t.
    ‘Fascism’, which he has no idea of.
    ‘Totalitarianism’ which all blacks believe in, but will denounce when they aren’t in power.

    Voltaire wrote that blacks aren’t capable of living in freedom …. he was right.

  7. I said ten years ago that the Boomers aging out of power and then dying is going to be the most shaky and dramatic handoff in generational power within 100 years of its occurrence (which is starting in early stages now). How it will shake out is the only open question that I had then and still have now.

  8. Interesting how the Soviet Union, the original, antebellum American Republic and soon the Zionist state in occupied Palestine all existed within the length of an average human lifespan. Once the people who came up with these social and political constructs are gone the systems they created often die with them.

  10. This Boomer declines solidarity with the No Kings protesters. I was red-pilled back in 1994 with the double whammy of the judicial squashing of Prop. 187 and the publication of “The Bell Curve.” From there I discovered the AmRen and VDare sites – even eventually this site. I was like the protagonist in the old Soviet joke about the guy rushing into one of their clinics and demanding an “ear-eye doctor”: “I hear one thing, but I see another!” I simply learned to trust what I was seeing, and distrust what I was hearing.

  12. Anarchists(mob-rule)-vs-Kings Spoiler Alert: King of Kings coming soon.

    Your “No Kings” games will most definitely all be over and they may NOT end in a “mostly peaceful” manner…

    With the sound of trumpets
    Announcing from the sky
    Jesus is coming from heaven on high
    See now the pearly gates are open
    Christ is passing, passing thru them
    All the universe is watching
    As the King, our Savior King
    Descends to take His throne

    With the sound of trumpets
    Triumphant is the song
    Jesus is coming to right ev’ry wrong
    Climax of hist’ry awaited so long

    With the sound of trumpets
    In regal majesty
    Jesus is coming, triumphant is He
    And in His glorious train are millions
    Saints and angels, heaven’s armies
    O how awesome is the great and grand display
    Of pow’r invincible of Christ the Lord
    By His very brightness
    His enemies are slain
    And all earth’s kingdoms are now His domain
    Jesus is coming, is coming to reign

    With the sound of trumpets
    The sound of mighty trumpets
    With the sound of trumpets
    The King returns to reign…

    — “With the Sound of Trumpets”. John W. Peterson.

  14. This Boomer also declines solidarity with the No Kings protestors. These stupid morons are the ones who virtue signal as they sign onto all kinds of dissolute debauchery that is literally flushing any viable future for their grandchildren’s generation down the commode. Bad cess to and confusion on all of them. They disgust me.

    Want to add, we desperately need not on term limits but age limits to holding political office. You have Mitch McConnell having to be held up by Black aides and still tripping over his own damned feet. If the president has to pass a physical and take a cognitive test in office, why not your senators and congressional representatives?

    Any one over seventy should not be holding office after 2028. At that age, we definitely all have on foot in the grave and the other foot on a banana peel. We should also require that anyone holding office have children. Europe’s biggest problem is that most of their leaders are childless. No hostages to the future they are creating for the people they govern.

  15. See I write Trump’s win off as more of an aberration or a fluke. If it wasn’t for the war in Gaza Trump wouldn’t have won, and gravity will pull Republicans back down.

  16. Nothing quite says “no kings” like a mob of tards in a well-funded spontaneous astroturf demonstration with bills paid by George Soros, Warren Buffet, Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates. Some of the oligarchs who funded this BS are even supposed friends of the Bad Orange Man.

  18. @Hunter Wallace,

    I think that Brandi Kruse’s response is the most appropriate. That generation’s counter culture members were seriously socially reprogrammed. Of the counter culture movement members, half were Papists, and the rest devided between Jews and Prods with Prods having a slightly larger part of that remainder. Lots of seriously unethical activities were done on large numbers of people in this movement as well as people not even involved in the movement. Bad times.

    Most of these activities were done by non-govetnmental and often foreign actors, while a sizable minority were done directly or indirectly by the US government. Most of the exposures of these highly unethical if not treasonous actions were made by Protestants. Some of whom were suicided or disappeared for their exposes, long before the Church-Pike Committee reframed them to fit a new politically controllable narrative.

    LSD actuated psycho experiments were one of the mainstays. The chief protagonist in this was one Timothy Leary. He was a Papist from a deep potato stew of Irish Papists living in the heart of immigrant heavy Springfield in Yankee Massachusettes. Papist educated, Jesuit trained, he was a Jesuit subversive his whole life and spent his professional career psycho-chemically undermining Protestant America. In modern retelling he’s a Jew. Thats just Jesuit lies.

    Brandi, although being humorous is also being real. Alot of these people were directly and most were indirectly psycho-chemically mind phucked by some sort kf vast Papist originated program to undermine and retool America. Warlock Moon Faced Timothy Leary makes an actual appearance here in a funny if not slightly realistic recreation of one of the Papists psycho-chemical mind phuck programs in this Cheech and Chong movie from 1981. NO KINGS Operational Word ACTIVATED! Grab your million dollars hidden away for 50 years Papist controlled puppets and go to work!
