Infertility is the End of Democracy

A highly astute observation on how the ascent of the so-called nationalist autocracies and the demise of the so-called democracies appears to be inevitable due to the way these democracies heavily bias their policies toward the least-productive members of their societies:

As far as I can tell, the most notable political science results of the 21st century is democracy cannot work well with low fertility rates. All converge on prioritizing retirees over workers and immigrants over citizens escalating social transfers beyond sustainability. I think this means we should try to understand non-democratic regimes better since they will represent the majority of global political power in the future.

It seems to me that the great graying and mass immigration simply are the end of democracies as we understood them. Just as failure to manage an economy and international trade were the end of Soviet Communism as we understood it. Low-fertility autocracies seems to have little trouble with reindustrializing or waging war when needed. These used to be 20th century strengths of high-fertility democracy!

This is simply another way that enfranchising and educating women, and encouraging the 30 percent of young women who historically married and had children to enter the work force, is both logically and observably incompatible with societal survival. It’s a viable path for a limited time, and it may even be considered a highly desirable path by many, but the now-observable fact is that viability comes with a built-in time limit which is remarkably consistent with the recorded lifespans of many historical societies.

With the benefit of hindsight, we can see the fundamental flaws in the underlying assumptions of failed past ideologies.

  • Communism: the idea that production will take place without a profit incentive.
  • Libertarianism: the idea that consent is a valid or viable basis for morality and legality.
  • Democracy: the idea that the collective will of the people exists in any meaningful sense or is relevant to the ordering and sustainability of society in any way.
  • Representative Democracy: the idea that an elected elite will meaningfully represent the wishes of the people
  • Constitutionalism: the idea that words on a piece of paper, interpreted by a political elite, will preserve the intentions of the society’s founders.
  • Elefthemporism: the idea that you can replace your native people with foreigners and buy the weapons required by your armed forces from your enemies.
  • Neoliberalism: the idea that the various idiosyncracies of the post-WWII order are of immutable significance for future orders.
  • Conservatism: the idea that yesterday’s status quo is the high point of human existence and any departure from it in any direction is dangerous and wrong.

Personally, I think the reason the “democracies” are failing is because they are fake, evil, and literally gay, but it is without question true that a societal lack of fertility and the inevitable evils that result from it will eventually render even the ideal Platonic form of liberal, constitutional representative democracy non-functional.

Forget the Third Term

Three terms wouldn’t be enough. The God-Emperor has 873 more terms to go. 3,495 more years!

Bookmakers view US President Donald Trump as one of the top picks to win the 2028 election, despite the two-term constitutional limit, Newsweek has reported, citing the latest betting data. According to an article published on Saturday, British betting company William Hill has listed Trump as a favorite to win the next presidential race with 5/1 odds, giving him a 16.7% chance of securing what would be his third term in office.

Vance has done very well as Vice-President so far, but he’s not the right man for the top job. Donald Trump Jr. would be a braver and much better choice for holding down the fort until Barron is old enough to ascend the Cherry Blossom Throne.

Second Term Same as the First?

The rhetoric has certainly improved. But President Trump hasn’t convinced everyone that he actually means business, as one new policy after another has dissipated before actually achieving any significant results. Simplicius suspects this is one reason the absurd ceasefire offer, which would appear to be an obvious non-starter, was presented to Russia:

The ceasefire agreement comes just a day after Ukraine launched the largest drone attack on Moscow of the entire war, with an estimated 400-500 drones, almost all of which were shot down, the remainder hitting civilian apartment blocks.

It appears to have been made for no better reason than scoring much-needed political points for Trump, who now wallows in a post-euphoric doldrums phase of his floundering second term, when virtually every one of his campaign promises has faltered or flopped. No Epstein, JFK, or 9/11 lists, no Mexican wall, no Fort Knox audit or UFO disclosure, no mass deportations, with ICE raids rumored to have halted, no promised US troop withdrawals from Syria, Europe, or elsewhere. Every other boastful attempt to capture Greenland, Canada, Panama, and everything in between has likewise fallen flat on its face, with countries no longer fearing nor taking the US seriously.

Desperate for a razzle-dazzle to slap points on the scoreboard, Trump’s team tipped this rushed ‘ceasefire’ deal for being just the trick. Except, it’s about the most nonsensically absurd ceasefire attempt imaginable, a veritable charade by another name.

  • It comes a day after Ukraine’s massive drone provocation, meant specifically to spoil the ceasefire by making Russia look like the bad guy, after Russia rightfully rejects the deal.
  • It comes in the midst of one of the largest frontline collapses of the war, as Ukrainian troops are being battered, decimated, and driven out of Kursk.
  • It comes with zero ‘concessions’ or offers to Russia itself, but huge reward to Ukraine in the form of the reactivation of all weapons shipments, aid, and intelligence sharing.
  • It comes when Ukraine still controls some Kursk territory, which is an obvious common sense non-starter for Russia.

I wouldn’t be quite so dismissive of the God-Emperor 2.0’s remarkable achievements in his first two months in office. But it is readily apparent that Trump needs to talk less and deliver more or he’s going to start losing at least some of the goodwill and popular support that he has amassed as a result of his aggressive executive orders.

I have no idea why he agreed to this ceasefire proposal or why he’s shown hesitation on cutting all support for Ukraine and exiting NATO. Russia is going to win the war even if the entire EU, UK, and the USA formally declare war and open direct hostilities tomorrow. Military power is all about who can get there first with the most, and no one is going to defeat the Russian military its own backyard on the basis of logistics alone. If this were a war for Mexico, or even Canada, the equation would be different, but given the geographic location of Ukraine, the inevitable outcome is not even potentially in doubt.

And certainly, I doubt that threats of adding a few more sanctions to the current 21 thousand or so already in place are going to impress or intimidate the Russians into doing anything they don’t see as being to their advantage.

Donald Trump threatened ‘devastating’ trade and economic consequences on Russia if President Vladimir Putin doesn’t agree to a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine. Trump issued the threat – which included a considerable hedge – while discussing administration efforts to bring an end to Russia’s brutal war in Ukraine, which Trump again said could lead to World War III.

Farage’s Day is Done

Niles Farage is a British hero. What he accomplished with Brexit surpassed anything that Winston Churchill ever achieved. But he has revealed his fundamental limitations and ruled himself out as an effective future leader of Britain due to his inability to understand the absolute necessity of multigenerational repatriations for national restoration:

Nigel Farage today ruled out allowing exiled MP Rupert Lowe back into Reform UK after he made yet another attack on the party leadership. The party leader said there was ‘no way back’ for Mr Lowe after he accused senior figures of trying to ‘silence him’ when he spoke out about grooming gangs. The Great Yarmouth MP was suspended last Friday over allegations of bullying and of verbally threatening party chairman Zia Yusuf – the latter is the subject of a police probe.

Mr Lowe denies any wrongdoing and says he is the victim of a ‘witch hunt’ after he dared to criticise Mr Farage’s leadership of the party. This morning he revealed he refused to delete a demand that the families of Asian grooming gang members be deported with them if they were ‘complicit’ in their crimes against teenage girls, from a speech he made in Essex in February. And he doubled down on his position, suggesting it was acceptable to deport ‘entire communities’ to Pakistan, saying anyone who failed to act ‘is as guilty as the rapists themselves’.

Mr Farage today accused Mr Lowe of pandering to Elon Musk, the Trump ally who suggested he lead Reform instead of Mr Farage in January. The party leader admitted he asked the then Reform MP not to talk about ‘repatriation’ and ‘mass deportations’, branding it ‘a very grave, dark and dangerous use of language.’

Like so many other political and public figures, Farage doesn’t understand that the post-WWII era is over. Holocaustianity is dead. So is multiculturalism and the moronic idea of “the melting pot”. The extreme concepts of Clown World of the last sixty years are the historical aberration, and the pendulum has barely even begun to swing back.

This isn’t to say he won’t ever become Prime Minister. It’s possible, and he would certainly be preferable to anyone in the Tory or Labour Parties. But he can’t be what Britain needs, and it appears he’s actively opposing the men who are.

The Actual Autocratic Antidemocracy

The absurd hypocrisy of the unelected European Commissioners decrying “autocratic” elected leaders like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Xinping when they are actively overturning elections and openly denying the will of the people is highlighted by their subversion of democracy in Romania:

Romanian presidential hopeful Calin Georgescu has branded the EU a “dictatorship” and stated that his country is “under tyranny” in response to the Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) in Bucharest shooting down his candidacy for the upcoming election re-run.

The BEC dismissed Georgescu’s bid late on Sunday, having received more than 1,000 challenges against him, largely revolving around his allegedly “anti-democratic” and “extremist” stance. According to the ruling published on Sunday evening, Georgescu had “failed to comply with the rules of the electoral procedure, violating the very obligation… to defend democracy.”

The presidential hopeful, who was a clear favorite in the upcoming election and was polling between 40% and 45%, strongly condemned the decision.

“A direct blow to the heart of democracy worldwide! I have one message left! If democracy in Romania falls, the entire democratic world will fall! This is just the beginning. It’s that simple! Europe is now a dictatorship; Romania is under tyranny!” Georgescu wrote on X.

This is more of that satanic inversion that permeates Clown World with its sulfuric stench. Orwell certainly had their number, as they define war as peace, black as white, and autocracy as democracy. The EU is the last current redoubt of The Empire That Never Ended, and the European nations will not be free until the European Union is shattered and its wicked “leaders” are driven from power and influence.

Fortunately, the Russians are waging open war on it, with the support of China and the new pro-American government in Washington.

The End of the Department of Education

The latest rumor about the God-Emperor 2.0’s next executive order bodes well. This bodes very, very well for the state of education in the USA.

US President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order aimed at dismantling the Department of Education, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the matter. The move, which is part of the Trump administration’s effort to overhaul US government agencies in a bid to eliminate wasteful state spending, has been expected since early February, when the White House revealed its intentions.

A draft of the order, reviewed by the outlet, instructs Education Secretary Linda McMahon to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Education Department” to the fullest extent allowed by law. The order could reportedly be issued on Thursday.

“The experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars – and the unaccountable bureaucrats those programs and dollars support – has failed our children, our teachers, and our families,” the WSJ cited the draft order as reading. The order justifies the department’s closure by stating that “since its founding in 1979, the Department of Education has spent more than $1 trillion without producing virtually any improvement in student reading and mathematics scores.”

The Department of Education, established in 1979 under President Carter, has been a complete and abject failure by every single possible metric. We can be optimistic that the elimination of Federal control will be a net positive, particularly if it is followed by Federal support for the elimination of all state and local restrictions on homeschooling.

Once the states and local schools discover that interference in the way of homeschooling parents will cost them their Federal funding, they’ll rapidly change their tune.

One proposal for a new law: all government programs with a budget over X must be established on the basis of a solid, unalterable metric which cannot be redefined, and, if it is not met, will trigger the immediate elimination of the program. Yes, of course the relevant bureaucrats and their allies in the media will fight tooth and nail to redefine and otherwise marginalize the metric, but their very efforts to do so will be an obvious signal that the program is unsuccessful and should be shut down.

Call it the Accountability in Government Act.

Recap, Not Revolution

Reading the reviews of the God-Emperor 2.0’s speech to Congress proved to be a bit deflating. While it was a good summary of what has been accomplished so far, it didn’t really provide us with any new information. Still no arrests. Still members of NATO. There is still a Department of Education, an Internal Revenue Service, and a Federal Reserve.

No one cares about a mineral deal with Ukraine. Everyone wants the US military out of Ukraine, out of Europe, and out of Japan.

There’s nothing wrong with a victories lap. There are certainly more victories to celebrate than anyone was expecting so soon. But everyone was expecting something more, something big, last night. And that speech was nothing big. Frankly, reading his executive orders is more exciting and encouraging.

On the subject of the Trump administration, those who are following the politics might find an addition to my SSH analysis of Vice-President Vance to be of interest, as the British media already appears to be taking advantage of his apparent vulnerability to attack rhetoric.

UPDATE: Apparently it was even more disappointing live, as Hal Turner summarizes it.

I am live broadcasting President Trump’s State of the Union Speech to a Joint Session of Congress and, to me, it is the most disappointing speech I’ve ever heard. Whoever wrote it should never write a speech again. President Trump seems to be re-litigating the election, reiterating the election issues that are already decided. I can’t stand it anymore. I’m not even going to listen anymore. The worst speech in history. Worst delivery ever. An absolute total failure. He’s even mentioning Joe Biden. Biden is GONE for Christ’s sake; leave him BE gone. I don’t know who wrote this, but they have done the President a horrifying disservice.

UPDATE: The God-Emperor 2.0 obviously knows what he’s doing. We were not the audience. This was about winning over the mainstream, not informing anyone about what is coming next.

Sigma Game and Diplomacy

Even those of you who have no interest in the Socio-Sexual Hierarchy might be interested in reading this extremely illuminating breakdown of yesterday’s diplomatic debacle when Ukraine Head of State Vladimir Zelensky visited the White House and the God-Emperor 2.0, may he reign 3,500 more years.

Reviewing the transcript, what struck me most was the way that the Gamma went directly at the Situational Bravo rather than at the Alpha. Zelensky did so because he correctly read Vance as being psychologically weaker than his situational status tends to suggest. Not only did Zelensky reportedly refer to Vance in a vulgar and dismissive manner, albeit in classic passive-aggressive Gamma style under his breath and in a foreign language, but he attacked Vance as part of his attempt to evade the topic that was under discussion, which was the observable fact that Russia has already won its war with Ukraine and therefore diplomacy is necessary to end the war before Ukraine is forced to accept an unconditional surrender.

Read the whole thing there. The lesson, as always, is this: no amount of intellectual comprehension and self-control can reliably replace one’s behavioral patterns established during one’s formative years.

Appearances vs Reality

Far too many people, and pretty much everyone in the media, are far too obsessed with the idea of political leaders “appearing strong” as opposed to actually being strong. Which tendency Simplicius notes, particularly in reference to Vladimir Putin:

Too many people view the world in black and white, and believe the slightest weakness condemns a leader to total incompetence or treachery. No, Putin has weaknesses like everyone else, but also big strengths—it’s just at times one over-shines the other in glaring ways. The Russian armed forces have now likely lost somewhere approaching 100,000 dead if not more, the least they deserve in their colossal sacrifice is to know they didn’t die in vain; a stronger message from the commander-in-chief ensuring that objectives will be met would go a long way here.

The other most important thing to mention vis-a-vis ceasefire talks that no one else is talking about is the following. Russia and the US appear to be at a kind of epistemic loggerheads when it comes to the order with which the conflict must come to an end. You see, Trump, Marco Rubio, and others from their camp hold the position that the conflict must be brought to a ceasefire first, and only then would the higher order normalizations and negotiations between the US and Russia take place. In short, the Trump administration is putting the cart before the horse in its impatience to put some big win on the scoreboard, particularly given that many other Trump campaign promises have already flopped, or similarly log-jammed.

But Russia insists on the opposite order of events: first the US must recognize all the causes of the conflict and fulfill Russia’s demands for long-term security guarantees, and only then will Russia entertain bringing the conflict to an end. How to reconcile these antipodal positions? Easy: Russia must simply continue plowing ahead until the US ‘comes around’ to realizing that it’s not the one in the driver’s seat.

Being strong does not consist of making vacuous statements completely at odds with reality, as the Ukrainian, European, and US leaders are extremely prone to doing. That’s a magickal belief in rhetoric, attempting to alter the material universe with nothing more than their words and willpower. By their definition of “strong leadership” there has been no stronger leadership than Hitler in the Berlin bunker, making bizarre proclamations about inevitable victory and issuing orders to nonexistent battalions.

Keir Starmer, Emmanual Macron, and whatever nonentity is heading up the German government can posture as they like, but their opinions count even less than yours or mine. As Simplicius points out, Russia will simply keep doing what it is doing until the entire retarderati finally realizes that Russia is not going to run out of ammunition in two weeks, the Kursk incursion no longer exists, and the Kiev regime flees to Paris, or, as is more likely the case in the end, Jerusalem.

Both Putin and Xi practice the sort of strong leadership articulated by Teddy Roosevelt. They speak softly, in the case of Xi, very, very softly, and they carry big sticks which they do not hesitate to utilize. Trump can certainly negotiate with them, and make deals with them, but no amount of wild rhetoric and posturing is going to impress them.

The Clown World Order is failing. Their fake and gay “democracies” have been exposed, as well as their inversive “freedom” and now the nationalist “autocracies” are, as I have long predicted, rising to replace Clown World’s globalist charade.

Today, not only are autocracies increasingly confident. The US is moving to their side. That is the lesson of the last two weeks. Freedom is not in as much danger as it was in 1942. Yet the dangers are very real.

The Definition of Wishful Thinking

James Carville doesn’t exactly have his finger on the pulse of the American people:

Political guru James Carville forecasted Donald Trump’s Administration will collapse within the next 30 days. The veteran Democratic strategist told Mediaite’s Dan Abrams that Trump’s popularity is sinking, and he believes the administration will implode from a lack of public support.

‘I believe that this administration, in less than 30 days, is in the midst of a massive collapse and particularly a collapse in public opinion,’ Carville said. ‘What I have said very publicly is that Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing.

Nonsense. It’s far more likely that in 30 days virtually everyone Carville knows will be either a) unemployed, b) arrested, or c) dead.
