Z-Man made an interesting point on his blog, that the cost of maintaining the Narrative is passing the value of its benefit.
h ttps://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=29840
Enormous amounts of time and energy are invested in maintaining the rationale for the empire. Unlike the Roman empire, which was ruled by a small number of men, democratic empire must continue to provide energy to the spring of democracy, which is moral certainty. Rome conquered because it could, while America conquers because it has a moral duty. .Our democracy. requires an endless war against those who resist being crushed by “our democracy..
What this means is that in addition to the trillions spent on weapons and armies, trillions are also spent on maintaining the moral framework. This cost is not strictly a government expense, but the system requires it, so corporations are as engaged in narrative maintenance as government entities. Companies embrace degenerate social fads, like crossdressing, because they support the system. They support the system because it is the system that makes them possible.
The most obvious example is the media. Thirty years ago, much of what a newspaper did, even the big broadsheets like the Washington Post and New York Times, was report on the mundane affairs of the world. They promoted left-wing causes on the editorial side, but the news side was the boring stuff of the news. Today, the entirety of the mass media is engaged in the support of narratives. These entities are staffed with content creators and storytellers.
Here is an example in the Washington Post. Three people were assigned the job of creating a story to explain the mass shooter phenomenon. The plot here is that crazy white people are irrationally paranoid about crime, so they are going shooty all of sudden, for no reason at all! You see, crime is just fine. In fact, under the patient rule of Dear Leader, crime is better now. The real problem is these heavily armed white people and their racism.
His observation is correct, that journalism has gone from largely local to almost entirely Regime Mouthpiece, but his explanation is wrong. The Narrative manufacturers are not trying to convince other people of the Regime’s legitimacy. They are trying to convince themselves that they’re totally not evil even as they castrate children, starve Europe and blaspheme Christ.
The WaPo article is a case in point. It’s a justification for what the Regime already wants to do. It illustrates an interesting weakness in Totalism.
Roman Empire was all, “I want your cow. I take your cow.” That’s authoritarianism.
American Empire is all, “I want your cow. I take your cow. BECAUSE I AM A GOOD PERSON.” That’s totalism. That’s why it’s all lies, all the time.
The Totalist needs a Lie in order to get away with doing evil. Capability at evil is not enough, and that’s the weakness. This is why we keep seeing the Regime back down instead of crack down, because like cockroaches, they cannot proceed except under cover.
Enter the Lie, the explanation for why taking children from fathers by decree of child molesters is what’s best for kids. For why your neighbor’s standard of living is excessive but John Kerry’s private fleet of aircraft carriers is not. For why millionaires like Bernie Sanders piously demand heavier taxes on billionaires such as you.
For proof that the Lie’s purpose is camouflage not conviction, enjoy these tragicomedic examples:
A photo of women snickering at trans lawmaker Zooey Zephyr in Montana looks a lot like the photos of white people snickering at Black people in the 1950s
h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/photo-women-snickering-trans-lawmaker-210535930.html
Even the title is tryhard.
The Montana House of Representatives last week voted to censure Zephyr, Montana’s first openly transgender lawmaker. The vote came in response to Zephyr criticizing her Republican colleagues for restricting access to gender-affirming care.
I remember when Democrats opposed Female Genital Mutilation. Now it’s the latest civil right hotness. Or hot mess.
Zephyr announced Monday that she is suing to reverse the restrictions placed on her. The censure prevents Zephyr from entering the House floor, so she has instead been working from a public bench outside the chamber.
A few days later, a photo showed multiple snickering women sitting on the same bench, forcing Zephyr to work standing up at a nearby lunch counter. The women identified themselves as family members of some legislators, according to the Daily Montanan.
The photo, in which the women appear to smile and laugh while leering at Zephyr, is reminiscent of photos taken during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s that show white people mocking and harassing Black people.
This is what happens when “you rayciss” gets stretched from minority empowerment to sex perv empowerment. Until Satan ups his game, racism is better than no lie at all. Does it hurt to say bunk like “you racists don’t respect genderfluid queers”? The honest will never know, but they’ll surely notice that the accusation doesn’t match the crime.
I will charitably not mention Butt-Plug Buttigieg’s blathering about the racism of America’s roads. Oops.
Can Exercise Cause Heart Attacks? Yes
h ttps://www.yourhearthealth.net/can-exercise-cause-heart-attacks/
1 December 2022
Strenuous exertion does increase the immediate risk for heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest, despite the fact that regular exercise strengthens the heart and lowers the risk of cardiovascular problems over the long term.
Remember, the vexx is SAFE AND EFFECTIVE! Exercise is good for you but when an athlete in perfect health drops dead on the field, it’s because exercise was bad for him.
In this case, the Drone also cannot abandon the lie without confronting the fact that he took the vexx, too. Nothing says “slippery slope” like “booster shot”.
Hot air: five climate myths pushed by the US beef industry
h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/hot-air-five-climate-myths-083004532.html
It.s a hard, unpalatable, disorienting truth: if we’re serious about avoiding the worst scenarios of the climate crisis, people . particularly those who live in wealthier nations . need to consume fewer animal products.
Translation: the author hates the Christian West and wants it dead, and uses the Climate Change lie to declare his hatred virtuous. But, it got awkward when his critics helpfully ended his own climate change accusation, forcing him to put the lie in their mouths, too:
Myth 1: fossil fuels are the only real problem to fix
Nobody says that. Neither Climate Nazis nor their intended victims.
Myth 2: methane is different . and it isn’t the problem
Nobody claims that methane is different from fossil fuel.
Myth 3: eating beef isn’t a problem in the US
As in, “eating beef does cause Climate Change as charged, but not enough to be a problem.” The beef industry is not about to plead guilty.
Myth 4: cattle are raised on lands where nothing else can grow anyway
Nobody claims that. Cattle don’t eat rocks.
Myth 5: future tech will save us
Meaning, CURRENT tech is IRRELEVANT:
These on-farm solutions . from reducing cow burps with feed-additive seaweed to using bio-digesters for methane-polluting manure . are the focus of UC Davis’s new research and extension program under Mitloehner’s direction… But no solution can be as effective as reducing the overall number of cattle worldwide, a solution that Mitloehner and his industry allies tend to suggest is impractical or otherwise off-limits.
“Cows are destroying the planet because methane!”
“Good news, we figured out how to stop the methane.”
“SHUT UP AND EAT THE BUGS ALREADY!!!”
Obviously, the alarmist is not trying to convince the rancher.
This is the end of a long process. Humanity was killed off by nuclear winter back in the ’50s. Then we all died to overpopulation in the ’60s, global warming in the ’70s, hair spray in the ’80s (ozone layer) and melting glaciers in the ’90s, so by the time the 21st Century came around, the Eco-Marxists just called it climate “change”.
And we disproved that, too. Our cows don’t even fart methane anymore but there’s no new lie to monkeybranch towards, when the previous lie was meant to be all-inclusive. Thus, our cattle DO produce methane EVEN WHEN THEY DON’T, so we need to eat the bugs like Uncle Ernst Stavro Blofeld told us to.
Opinion: How a misreading of the Bible fuels many Americans’ apathy about climate change
h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/opinion-misreading-bible-fuels-many-103015146.html
By Bart D. Ehrman, 3 May 2023
Christianity causes climate change… Illuminati most affected!
Ehrman is a professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill… a professional false teacher of Christ.
Christian theology and global politics can make strange bedfellows.
You have no idea, you Marxist tenured gatekeeper of Christianity… hmm, maybe you do.
Consider the intimate relationship between fundamentalist expectations of Jesus. return and market-driven disregard for the environment.
The affair became public back in 1981, when Ronald Reagan…
Oh, STFU. Your opening lie is forty-two years old? Longer than the Israelites wandered in the wilderness until they all died off?
American evangelicals are still disproportionately uninterested in climate change and other environmental issues. Their apathy is driven not only by their well-documented distrust of science but also by a specific eschatological belief that Jesus is coming soon to bring history to a rather climactic end.
This slanderous dogshit is what UNC calls an expert in Christianity? Our apathy is driven by the belief that God Created this world intending us humans to fill & make use of it. Also, we aren’t supposed to believe LIES.
And it’s not just evangelicals. Popular evangelical culture . including Hal Lindsey’s bestselling 1970 book “The Late Great Planet Earth” and, more recently, Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. blockbuster “Left Behind” novels (with movie spinoffs) . has led many more Americans to believe the Bible predicts our imminent end.
Me: “So yesterday, I walked down the street with my Bible. I shoved it in this random guy’s face and he suddenly believed in Jesus. Who knew that simple exposure to a lie is enough to force its adoption?”
Social Justice Warrior: *weeps bloody tears of envy*
Me: “You know I made that up just now, right? And you totally believed it?”
![](https://gunnerq.androsphere.net/wp-content/uploads/imported/683ist.jpg?resize=620%2C465&ssl=1)
Throughout the long history of Christianity . from at least the 4th century…
1st Century.
…to the early 19th . the vast majority of those who read and heard the stories in the Bible (including the forerunners of modern evangelicals) believed Revelation was describing events that had already happened or were happening in their own time in the life of the church. They were not thought to refer to a near or distant future.
Ehrman is spinning lie after lie, struggling to make the case that we oppose Climate Change for a reason that he can defend against. Because no climate alarmist can defy Genesis 1:28. “God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground..”
He’s not trying to convince us of anything. A child could prove him wrong with just the first page of Scripture, QED. He’s trying to justify disobedience against God’s clearly recorded Will.
Oddly enough, the French Revolution changed all that. The surrealities of the Reign of Terror convinced horrified Christians in Britain that the world was coming to a crashing halt in fulfillment of the catastrophes described in Revelation. This futuristic reading of Scripture swept through England and then, with a vengeance, America: The world was going to hell, and it was all according to plan.
If I know Englishmen, they laughed, gave France the V and told each other that they’d long seen this coming. Meanwhile, “let them eat cake” is simply not Whore Of Babylon material. Then or now.
Yes, we Christians have anticipated God’s return momentarily, as God requested, for two thousand years now. My money’s on 2047 but if it doesn’t happen then, neither my life nor my faith will be wrecked.
Biblical scholars have long recognized that the book was written for a 1st century audience with 1st century concerns about the 1st century Roman Empire…
Skip to the end.
If a significant portion of the voting public believes the end of our civilization is just 40 years off, why worry about the environment? Why support the Paris climate agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050? It’s no surprise that believers in the Second Coming are significantly more likely to oppose governmental attempts to fight climate change.
Which is it? Do the Christians believe the world will end by 2050, or the Climate Alarmists?
Answer:
Who would have thought that serious biblical scholarship could help preserve the ice caps and stem the rising seas? Could it thereby contribute to our collective salvation after all?
Who would have thought that when Climate Change became entirely indefensible, the Climate Changers would drop their masks and spit on Christ?
The Christians did.
Because LIES.
Which brings me full circle to Z-Man’s argument. The reason for the Narrative displacing everything is not because the Regime is trying to maintain the Lie. That has already failed, unless you really do think chicken eggs cause vaxxidents and Christians expecting Christ’s return is why the planet will explode first.
As evil grows, justifications for evil become valuable. It’s that simple. Even if the justifications, like evolution, can’t keep up with the rate at which they’re proven false.
If Z-Man is right then our current mess will quietly collapse into foolishness and be replaced. If I’m right instead, then our current mess will expand into slaying the witnesses against the lies.
I kinda hope he’s right.
I agree. They need the feedback loop echo chamber circle jerk.
An original thought or opinion outside of the hive is violence to feeble minds.
I view the news and other forms of enemedia as a Gong Show form of intelligence insulting entertainment.
Comforting lies will also be used to justify the Pol Pot/Mao struggle sessions and worse that are coming.
Since cows produce methane, I punish the cows by eating them. See, eating beef saves the planet.
And cows do graze on land where nothing can grow but grass and weeds. Then they suffuze it with poops that means you can grow actual food crops there next year and rotate the cows to poop fertilize another fallow field next year. Without that the whole world would end up good for growing only weeds.
