No Authority

I've just finished reading a new book, added to the bookroll: "Trust Me, I'm Lying" by Ryan Holiday. I found it a bit tough to get through. Or perhaps, more accurately, to choke down.

Ironically, it's about how blogging is used as a source by the media, plus how it can be manipulated for profitable and/or destructive purposes.

In our era of Fake News, these are the sources: blogs like this one, and facebook. Though to be more accurate, other blogs - this one will never become mainstream. Something that I'm glad of, it allows me to keep it as an outlet for the bullshit that I see in the world. The stuff that I'd rather not spout to my acquaintances - why fuck them off by shitting over all their illusions? Just asking for trouble.

Vegans, climate alarmists, pro-lifers, leftists/socialists, anti-/pro-gun, feminists, etc. It's their religion. Some members are more fanatical - even completely fruitcake - than others. Shit on their religion? How hard do you want to be slammed into the wall?

As Ryan Holiday states, referring to public crucifixions in the manipulated media: No wonder only morons and narcissists enter the public sphere. Unless you have the millions to 

That's a thought which has always been a little uncomfortable for myself. Narcissism and hubris, having a blog, thinking that it will of some value to someone else. Trying to avoid being too click-bait-y, wondering if it's just self-wanking horseshit at times.

Fuck it.

At any rate, we see it everywhere in the manosphere. Various of the well-known coming out with books and the like. Anything to monetize. Especially now that the value of advertising - and especially YouTube - has dropped like a stone. Snake oil salesmen. Amplifying the inner pain, selling a "sure-fire-guaranteed" anodyne.

Here, let me jab you in your most painful spots with a red-hot poker - call you a pussy when you walk away from me - hold you up as a shining example of a pussy for all the others to see when you don't rise to my bait - and sell my snake-oil anyway. Either way, you are gonna help feed me, motherfucker.

Wonderful mentality.

In a medium which is so ephemeral, it's easy to fake authority. Amusingly, that's what many self-help books are all about: fake it until you make it. Fake authority until you start bringing in some $$$ - a self-reinforcing feedback loop.

WikiPedia, touted as a free online encyclopedia. Started (possibly) with the best intentions in the world. Result: articles being fucked around with willy-nilly by whoever on the staff has an axe to grind today. More irony: you can still use it as a reference in college/university, which goes to show how low things have fallen.

Fuck Fake News - fake information. So one day the media decides to do (or someone fakes them into doing) a snow-job on Julian Assange of WikiLeaks and turn him from an information hero into a "creepy rapist" with the help of some very questionable sources. How soon do you think it will be until that potential disinformation gets into WikiPedia?

InfoGalactic? Are you absolutely certain that is not being subtly fucked with in some manner? Like climate alarmists: "I know that I was wrong the last 100 times, but you should trust me now!" Like the boy who cried wolf: "Help! Trust me! What do you mean I'm lying...oh shit..."

Sounds just like a false rape accusation, doesn't it? What happens when the boy has cried wolf one time too many?

Originally, the News made certain to get the truth. Sadly, the old days of Walter Cronkite and co are long, long gone.

Nothing becomes true any more. Nothing becomes trusted any more. There is no authority.

Let me describe what could be called the nightmare scenario, in this world where everything is electronic. All information. Nothing is physical any more. It all exists on computer chips and hard drives, both spinning-rust and solid-state.

What do we do when that information is scrambled?

It could be. Very easy to do. The cause can range from the prosaic, through to the semi-apocalyptic.

Data corruption. Spinning rust degrades. Solid state drives can crap out. Magnetic tape loses it. Optical disks degrade over time. It will happen with magnetic bubble, and holographic, and whatever. Something didn't get copied from old to new, and now you can't read the old. Shit just happens.

Virus. Ooops, there goes all your long-saved family photos and your insurance and suchlike, and goddamn what a pain in the ass it is to get it all together again. Do you remember your email passwords? Tough shit if you don't, and tough shit for the older emails too.

EMP pulse. Some terrorist or whack-job sets off something in a town or city. Everything electronic within a few blocks gets wiped. Including the government records of you owning X property and the bank records of you owning Y money.

Massive EMP pulse caused by a nuke in the stratosphere. Goodbye every piece of unshielded electronics in the hemisphere.

The Sun does a coronal mass ejection which just happens to hit the planet. Kiss it all goodbye. This happened back in the late 1800's, killing telegraph operators and causing massive currents in the earth. Goodbye every piece of unshielded electronics on the planet.

Go back to building our technology up from the 1920's once more. Assuming that we even know how. How much of that shit is kept electronically? Oops, catch-22 right there...

But we don't need to go that far.

Look at the modern viruses - WannaCry, for example, just this past weekend. Someone took CryptoLocker and fucked around with it and put out their own version. Though from what I heard, there are some...problems...if you do pay the ransom. In that, you still don't get your data returned to you. By design or fuckup? Who knows?

We have Stuxnet out there. Take some completely retarded anarchist. Marry things together, set it loose, leave it to spread itself for a couple of years. Then the payload goes off. All of a sudden, every bit of information is encrypted - or worse, just plain scrambled.

In the old days, the authority was physical. Physical encyclopedias were IT - every house had one. Libraries were IT - every town had one. These days? It's electrical, ephemeral, can be retconned or modified at will. Easily, like when someone manipulates the media to make a few million in the stock-market, or the media crucifies whoever it decides would make a good spectacle.

We take it so much for granted. A house built on sand? Fuck that, a world built on sugar. All it needs is a splash of water and it's all gone.

Without the electronics and records and suchlike - what then?

I've about talked myself out again, for a while. Time to go and do other things. Black Poison Soul, Crap-Colored Glasses™, signing out for a while.

Above the Law

How do you know who is in charge? Who are you not allowed to criticize? That is who is in charge. That is who is above the law.

A recent poster child: Emma Sulkowicz. With that last name, is this an ethnic WASP? No - in fact, it appears to be Polish in origin. So because she's a girl, and an ethnic minority from another country - despite the existence of texts stating "fuck me in the ass" to the alleged rapist - she was allowed to carry around a mattress at all times. She passed this shaming attempt off as "performance art" - of course, the feminists loved it.

She even got to carry it up on the stage when she graduated. This is basically not allowed - yet she and her supportive female friends still did it. There is someone who is above the law.

Next to look at the case of a 14yo girl who was apparently raped at school in Rockville, Maryland. Seems that the alleged rapists were a 17yo from El Salvador and an 18yo from Guatemala. At least one of this pair is an illegal immigrant. Sexual acts forced upon the 14yo by this pair supposedly included:

* vaginal rape
* anal rape
* forced oral sex (oral rape?)

There has been quite a blackout in the mainstream media about this, though I did manage to find the link above to Fox News. Looks like nobody else mainstream would touch it. From what I can tell, there may or may not have been semen and blood recovered from the crime scene.

From what I can tell, both the 17yo and 18yo have been let off scott-free (no surprise for the 17yo, he's a minor). There are two more people who are above the law.

Bound and determined, the media is, to keep things silent. After all, can't have the narrative of "poor, poor victimized people, lets give them a helping hand" tarnished by the facts of them ganging up to rape little girls.

Or maybe that's why pizzagate has gone silent in the news recently. They want their chance at the little girls and boys too. So if you keep it all silent, they can have their shot.

At any rate, if you or your parents weren't born in America - instant get-outta-jail-free card. Pretty much no matter what you do, you can get away with it, you're above the law.

Winners and Losers

Over on Amerika.org, Brett Stevens has shown where the AntiFa and various protesters against Trump came from. The short version: unemployed college fucktards, the ones well-indoctrinated but without enough talent to actually get worthwhile work.

Shades of my post on the real enemy: those running the indoctrination centers otherwise known as "higher education" and "academia".

Ann Coulter is pissed off that Trump seems to have sold them out. A lot of the Alt-Right seem to be. Puh-leaze, it was inevitable if you look at it through Crap-Colored Glasses. (Though I'll admit that I didn't see it in advance. Eagle-eye hindsight here.)

Back when Trump won, all the lefties were screaming and crying that he was gonna press the fucking button. "We're all gonna die!" I pointed out to the fucktards that even if he did, it wouldn't start WWIII - too many checks and balances, the ones in control of sending the missiles would stop it if there wasn't a damn good reason.

That's the whole fucking point of all those checks and balances: to stop a fucking madman from doing that shit.

Similarly, Trump has been blocked from building a wall, etc. Now the Alt-Right is wailing and gnashing their teeth. "He sold us out! He lied to us! He's cucked!" Et-fucking-cetera. No, dipshits. The checks and balances of the senate are blocking him from being too extreme "in their eyes". He's currently finding the limits of what he can actually do (short of declaring Military Law or having the worst blockers assassinated - though pictures taken through a scope might make 'em think a bit, without actually killing 'em).

He's stuck with what he's stuck with. He's run into the so-called deep state. It's not like the entrenched powers-that-be are going to let him turn them out of their nicely feathered nests. It's not like he has several million experienced people to replace these fuckers with. (You're experienced and willing? Are you doing something to help the situation?)

Winners and losers. Looking at America and Trump, England and Brexit, France and Marcone.

How did Trump get in? He promised people less competition (immigrants) and more work (Make America Great Again). Effectively a pork'n'beans election platform for those going through tough times. The lefties vote their free bennies, the more moderate and right types vote for renewed pride in self and country and the chance of honest and worthwhile work again.

This is possibly the mentality behind forcing some of the multinational corporations to repatriate some of their trillions of dollars. And probably the mentality of revamping the H1B system to stop people from having to train their overseas replacements, too.

How did Brexit win in England? It promised people less competition (immigrants) and more work. Is there a huge surprise that it won - especially from the downtrodden Brit's? Hell, even so, it's being watered down by the fucktards of the English "deep state".

How did Marcone win in France? His opponent could not (or did not, I'm not certain) promise work. She just promised to keep the rapists and criminals out of the country. Given the mentality of "it's not going to happen to me" I'm not surprised that she lost and the lefties won. There wasn't enough "what's in it for me?" for the voters to go for her.

So there we have it.

No wall between America and Mexico. Pity. Thinking about it, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) could build that fucker quick-smart. An awesome bunch of engineers - and it would be:

1/ involve the Army (helping it to be built up)

2/ bypass a lot of the feathernesting and backhanders to the politicians and bureaucrats

The second point alone would be a massive cost-saving exercise.

As various people have stated, Trump only needs to begin the process to make a helluva change for the better. He doesn't have to railroad it straight through from beginning to end.

Democracy My Ass

Everyone goin' on about de-mock-racy, de-mock-racy, de-mock-racy.

De-mock-racy is failing! It's failing, I tellya! We needs ta vote in someone to fix the problems!

Horseshit.

We live in a plutocracy.

Plutocracy or plutarchy, is a form of oligarchy and defines a society ruled or controlled by the small minority of the wealthiest citizens. The first known use of the term was in 1652.

Go look it up on Wikipedia or Infogalactic.

Defines the political system of the West 100%.

Of course, it's not a "pure" plutocracy. Oh no! It masquerades as a de-mock-racy, a front to hide the bullshit and lies. A complete mockery.

Because when it costs several million dollars for someone to "run for office", it's only the fuckers who have the $$$ who get there. Just give the retarded "public" the illusion of having a choice in the matter.

Who do you choose:

* Candidate A, a democrat with $$$

* Candidate B, a democrat with $$$

* Candidate C, a democrat with $$$

* Candidate D, a republican with $$$

* Candidate E, a republican with $$$

* Candidate F, a dark-horse "independent" republican with $$$

All just pigs vying to see how long and how much they can get their snouts in the tax-gravy of the public fuckin' trough.

Now, if you're lucky, you get the chance to "vote" in a more realistic pig who actually decides to give cleaning the mess up a solid go. Because it's no fuckin' use having $$$ if everything is going to hell in a handbasket and the $$$ become as worthwhile as the currency of Argentina and Zimbabwe. Or the country actually turns into Argentina and Zimbabwe.

Especially when the other fuckin' pigs are too fuckin' stupid to see the shit-on-a-shingle that's coming in the future, clear as day and broadcasting every-fuckin'-thing so bright and loud that even the half-awake voters can see what's in the pipeline. (Not the leftists. Those fuckers are asleep at the helm. Nobody home, you betcha.)

Do You Get It Now?

So I've been reading a few of the semi-recent articles out in the PUAsphere. It seems like every few months someone mouths off about "oh the 8+ girls just aren't bitchy on the whole", etc. They admit that there are a few, very few and far between. Mostly though, not bitchy.

Of course, there's always "reasons" why. As I remember seeing, a commentor stated: "Yes, because you can be nice as pie when everything has gone your way all your life." That man was looking clearly.

I suspect that there's some form of "why you hate good-looking bitches bro?" behind the mindset of these things. Possibly also a chunk of "she's pleasant - you gay or something bro?" in there too. Like, you should be panting just for the opportunity to attempt to run your game on her.

In my opinion, they just don't get it.

Look at women today. Even the "no makeup" has touches of blender and concealer and whatever-the-fuck they call it. Because the gunk screws up their skin. The full makeup - there's a reason that it's called fakeup. It's especially bad when it's OTT.

You get to where you can see through it and it just turns you off. Because you have the experience to know that what's underneath is nowhere near so pretty.

Stop. Step back. Look at pretty women.

How much of their looks is fakeup?

How much of their personality is fakeup?

Oh yes, she has a "nice" surface. Once you've had the experience with many women though - not just dating/fucking, I'm including knowing them well as friends and looking through Crap-Colored Glasses™ at how they actually act - the underneath becomes far more evident.

You start to smell the entitled mindset that underlies the pleasant manners.

You see the bland emptiness, the brainless fluff that a lot of men find "entertaining".

You become aware of the drama and gossip that they seem to find worthwhile in life.

It starts to grate.

To the point where it turns me off. (I can't speak for others, though I suspect that many have a similar reaction.)

Do you get it now?

We are attuned to the crap mindset. The personality. The expectations. The entitlement. The doublethink and lies that she tells herself. "I'm a good person, I would never cheat on my man!" "Oooohhhh, that guy makes me soooo horny!"

They'll even admit it to you, sub-rosa. Come up to you and say: "There's something about your smell that really turns me on." This when you know that she's got a long-term boyfriend, and she knows you know, and you know she knows you know, and all that doublethink is going on. Because she's offering you the option to subtly make a pass at her. So she can see if you're any good in bed, in which case *pow* you're now her boyfriend and the prior is going "wha? whuh? eh? huh?" and looking around dazed.

Which a lot of guys will do, fuck a girl behind the boyfriend's back. It's the mindset behind the old PUAs boyfriend-destroyer routine, and the people who target married women. "You just weren't man enough to keep your woman, so I fucked her behind your back. Tough shit pal."

"I'm not a prostitute, but fifty bucks is fifty bucks."

"I'm looking for a long-term relationship with good chemistry. (I'm horny, fuck me senseless!)"

When you really internalize the sub-rosa thinking, and understand the hidden entitled thinking, you can take advantage of it. Eventually though, you get bored as hell with it.

My thinking has become: "She's just another woman. Nothing special there. Don't bother, not worth the effort."

The PUAsphere can make the sub-rosa or overt shaming attempts if they wish. They are simply clueless for the moment.

Enough experience with women, they will start to get the same way.

Prepping

Not the usual post, and not for what could be called the "usual reasons" (aka expecting civilization to crash'n'burn). I'm not saying to have a SHTF bunker hidden in the hills, with solar panels and ten different firearms and enough ammunition to kill an army.

I live in New Zealand. Because of that it's always good to have emergency stuff handy. Whether for potential tsunami, eruptions dropping ash, heavy storms wrecking powerlines (or flooding places like Edgecumbe and causing slips through Coromandel and eastern/central New Zealand), and earthquakes (Christchurch multiple times, Wellington, and Kaikoura - all recently).

With all this, basically it's a good idea to have something to throw in the boot of the car and GTFO when you need to. It's also good to test it, taking a week-long camping-style trip (which also uses up old stuff which you can then replace).

Food: tinned beans, spaghetti, stew, fruit, tinned fish and meat, tinned desserts. Nuts and raisins. Heat'n'eat stuff like what comes from the Kaweka Food Co - meals for one, you just need boiling water. Milk powder and tea, oxo cubes, cup-of-soup. A couple of 10-liter containers of water. Enough of all that for a week (for one person) costs less than a hundred dollars.

Cooking gear: butane camp stove and a couple of gas cannisters, camp cooking gear (if you like tramping and hiking - otherwise just an ordinary pot), plastic knife/fork/spoon/chopsticks. Plate/bowl/cup are optional, generally just eat and drink out of the pot.

Other gear: torch, lantern, batteries, medikit, basic medicines (asprin), wet wipes, paper towels, toilet paper, some form of digging tool, a medium bottle of hand sanitizer, water purification tablets, waterproof matches, a couple of decent knives, sharpening steel. I also include a lifestraw.

Optional stuff: fishhooks and line if you want to do the "living off the land" thing. Take some basic nylon line in the boot, a proper rope can be handy. A sharp hatchet if you want to make campfires (and learn how to use a Dakota Fire Hole and feather sticks, firesteel, etc). A proper axe or chainsaw is a good idea if you're likely to run across downed trees where you're going.

The food will all fit into a single plastic bin. The rest of the gear will fit into another. (Okay, maybe not the axe/chainsaw.) One person can pick a container up and put them into the boot, 1 minute tops.

Other bits'n'pieces to throw in: a few plastic supermarket bags, 4 sets of undies and t-shirts and singlets, a warm jacket, a good down blanket or a sleeping bag. Don't waste time with a tent, you can sleep in the car with the windows cracked open - I've done it many times (make sure you have a rain guard). A couple of books. Time to get together from scratch, 5 minutes tops.

Pets: depends what you have. Take food and extra water. If there's a bona-fide tsunami coming, you're in the washout zone, and your damn cat won't play ball...

Optional stuff, for whatever reasons: 12v compressor and an air-mattress, 12v appliances (you can idle your car for an hour without chewing up much gasoline), a jetboil (for 2 minutes to get boiling water - I'm seriously thinking of one), whatever the hell else catches your fancy. It's a good idea to keep 10-20 liters of gasoline in the basement in case you need to top up before you go, take the remainder with you (make sure the container is a good one).

For those who are thinking of an RV or camping trailer to live (or retire) in, consider an ordinary car and converting a cargo trailer:

Have a bit of fun, plus some weekend trips for practice and to see something new (for a week-long roadtrip, think about overnighting at a campground every 3-4 days just for the chance to wash clothing and shower).

Live your life.
