Proof Ayn Rand was right on target
13 RINO dirtbags just saddled us with another 1.7 trillion in fiat debt, BUT the real crime is the amnesty for 7 million illegals, the 450,000 for each illegal seperated, a 30% tax on naturals (an byden lied again and again, proving again he is a useless senile blob of spit), and then, as if not bad enough, 17 RINO senators voted for it. Grahm and Grassley, two "suposed Patriots" just proved the Patriot movement is just another lie. Me thinks they want revolution....the real kind of revolution. And, we may end up with the Marines and Special Forces with us, as the Marine Commandant is about ready to divorce themselves from the military over the jabberdoo...Time to start cleaning...
Yeah, "The Squad" imbeciles voted against this bill, but not because it was left but because it wasn't left enough and didn't stay combined with the other $2 trillion (or more) to more quickly convert the USA to a socialist/communist state. Idiots!
And you are correct that there will be a Hitleresque character coming soon. Biden is literal Hindenburg. (No, not the dirigible. Read a book for God’s sake whomever thought that!)
THEY are orchestrating a controlled demolition RIGHT NOW. They are goading the extremist elements of the right to attack. It’s plain as day. The goal is justification to get more draconian. It’s gonna happen. Through actual domestic terrorism or false flag. It doesn’t matter which.
The best way to avoid a “civil” war...don’t be where it is. We need to Gulch up. If only for the purpose of preserving some islands of sanity within a sea of chaos. Look up the American Redoubt. Yes, every box of Reynolds Wrap comes with a free hat. But, after the events of the last 18months can you blame anyone for putting it on? Keep in mind it needs to get way worse before it gets better. This is only a little past apogee right now. There’s still a long way to fall.
There does seem to be a long way to fall, but there is acceleration involved in falling.
I think, by the end of the decade, things we thought were unthinkable will be afterthoughts.
We are NOT going to stop this. We are a subset of a subset. We do not have access to the levers that program society 24/7/365. Billions of dollars and man hours spent brainwashing 3 complete generations. Only cold hard reality can bring about a true awakening. And then the fight starts. Our best course of action is to limit our exposure to the insanity.
I realize this is a defeatist point of view. But, we should consider this, Ayn didn’t stick around the USSR and try to “Red Pill the Normies”. She recognized reality for what it was. Let’s all marinate on that.
All we can do in 2022 and 2024 is slow the progress to full statism. I do think its got to go all the way before there will be any meaningful return to freedom. too bad.
(There’s also a link to a YouTube video where Klaus Schwab says we will have implants in our brains or under our skin, but I digress.)
Our Congress is eaten up with those doing what they’re told to do. Make the vote close, but don’t lose. The aim of all this is to crash the US economy, and thus our society. George Soros and Klaus Schwab have said the US is the only thing standing in the way of their one-world government. And they are orchestrating the ruin of the US, the dividing of the country by race, sex, income, politics, and more. They want chaos, and are pushing Congress to do as much damage as they can. While we say the economy is OK, the reality is that it would take only one major international event to tank it. Look what COVID19 did to our economy and the world’s!
Who votes yea or nay doesn’t matter. Someone will. The damage will be done. And ordinary Americans will pay the price. It will be 1984 on steroids.

The problem with letting the system collapse first as in AS is that in real history, the people have not listened to the likes of John Galt after the collapse. They listened to Hitler.
I kind of agree that the attraction of a hitler type would be strong in a collapsed country- someone who promised to make it all better....
As Solzhenitsyn put it, “ Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. ... But not through me. The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie.”
Going Galt doesn’t even need to be based on a revenge motivation. It’s the simple act of being true to ones own conscious. One’s own perception of reality. Even to reality itself. By simply being REAL you do more damage to the lie than any propaganda you could come up with to “Own the Libs”.
“Rachel Levine” is a non-mensturating individual. If they cannot agree on that simple truth then there can be no agreement on the more complicated truths. And, there can be no good faith negotiations. I’m done arguing with the left. Let them pull the TV off the wall and onto their collective heads. Let their delusional lies be exposed to those with eyes that see.
Those of us that accept that A is A will endure whatever hellscape they bring upon us.
And I would add that it doesn’t have to be the literal 2nd coming of Hitler. Any strongman figure who promises to make the trains run on time and a chicken in every pot. It could even be Trump. (Markus: Ducks from the onslaught of rotten vegetables.) But whoever it turns out to be, we need to recognize them for what they TRULY are.

When Ayn responds to the question of immigration, the response seems pretty independent of what happens to be called "legal" or "illegal" immigration. Her discussion of what is right or wrong are typically dependent on morality and not the particular state of a legal system.
I’m very confident the low-lives of the world are not organized enough to start a shooting war. What would be their war objective? To make the people paying the taxes attend events that make them uncomfortable like tractor pulls and then go back to making the technology that powers the global economy? A year ago a bought extra ammo because it was hard to come by, and I was a little nervous that the idiots would do something, not “the real kind of revolution” because I don’t think they have their acts together, but just create trouble. Now I’m using up that ammo before it ages. There’s no real kind of revolution, with people with a brain and organization abilities. There’s just politicians getting idiots fired up to get to the next rung of their political career.
Just learned something. "Let's Go Brandon" Google translates to "Vamos Brandon" in Spanish. Interesting.
Election was ruined: I don't know what this means.
Biden enacting statist programs: I believe this would unfortunately happen regardless. It's been a constant trend for 100 years.
Taking the country down might increase freedom: I categorically disagree. It could very easily make things worse. US is a beacon of personal liberty compared to most societies in human history.
Someone downgrading your posts: It wasn't me. I never do that and wouldn't care about anyone's public approval anyway.
I think that the way AR characterized the results of statism in AS- wherein the country collapses and then is reborn- is indeed the way its going to go. We have a country that has descended into mob rule, and the mob wants socialist goodies that the workers pay for.
All the workers can do really is to withdraw their work, just like in AS.
It really looks that way. Things can change fast, though, either for better or worse. I think there's a broad long-term trend toward liberty. Maybe this is an anomalous blip.
"I think that the way AR characterized the results of statism in AS- wherein the country collapses and then is reborn- is indeed the way its going to go. "
I agree with everything else in your post above, but I categorically disagree with the idea that things getting bad is actually good because it leads to rebirth. I believe we're adapted to see this narrative, maybe as a way to keep going with things look grim. I think that's why flood-myth stories crop up in societies that didn't have contact with one another. I think it's not true. You could have a socialist collapse followed by a long period of extreme socialism. There's no guarantee that collapse paves the way to a better world.
a collapse could result in complete tyranny with a dictator. I would hope that enough people would stand up to that. As to a complete intellectual choice towards freedom and capitalism, I kind of doubt that is going to happen. Most people today are too intellectually conflicted right now to even see even the little good that Trump brought to politics, let alone straight up objectivist thinking.
The best we can hope for in the short term is to see the house and senate swing republican and give a divided US government for at least the next two years. Maybe divided government for longer than that.
Nick: Isn't that a problem?
CG: Yes
Yes.
Do I believe "the Russian Collusion thing"?
Partly. I think less democratic governments want to undermine the idea constitutionally-limited liberal democracy. I don't think they made a corrupt deal with Trump in 2016 because I don't think they thought he was likely to win. They were supporting all candidates critical of US institutions. They just lucked out that Trump won by a fluke and then kept undermining institutions and even the election that he won.
Impeachment #1: I think Trump definitely tried to make a corrupt deal with Ukraine. I don't know if it rises to the level of impechment.
Impeachment #2: I think he definitely incited a mob, but I don't know if it was part of a larger plan. I think it would be good to know.
News sources: I don't follow it that closely, and when I do it's mainstream papers of record, nothing with name calling or conspiracy theories.
Steel dossier being a lie: It containing lies is not a crime, but how it was funded or used may be. I am not up on it.
This explains your entire view of the world. You don't accept reality because reality disagrees with your brainwashing.
1.The Ukraine thing was a manipulation of a phone call that was normal for any president. Did you ever seen the video of byden crowing that he blackmailed the resignation of the prosecutor going after Hunter and Burizma for a billion dollars? He was so proud he did it. THAT was a "corrupt deal" and that alone (even without all the China connections and money, and Hunter ties) disqualified him off the bat. The Steel Dossier issue is even more of a problem, since it was "Lets buy a boatload of fantasy, paid for by the other candidate and party, then let the state apparatus use it, even knowing it was false (Sussman indictment) to spy on a opposite party candidate, President elect, and President in office". If you agree with that, you belong in Australia, as you would find their current system to your liking.
Yes. I accept the paraphrased transcript as capturing the intent of the call.
"Allowed yourselves to be emotionally drive by claims "orange man bad" "
I'm not emotional by nature, but I do think former President Trump was bad for the US and liberty in many ways.
"The Ukraine thing was a manipulation of a phone call that was normal for any president."
I want to de-normalize it.
"let the state apparatus use the Steel Dossier"
The protection against surveillance is a huge problem. The East German government had half of the DDR spying on the other half, but it was impossible to sort through all the information. Now it is possible. This is a huge problem.
"If you agree with that, you belong in Australia, as you would find their current system to your liking."
I think of Australia as like the US: democratic republic, very spread out, isolated by oceans, independent mindset, English speaking but with a distinctive accent.
