      1/ There's a bunch of different black pills that members of my tribe and adjacent tribes are tempted to take. One is "the game is all over, the commies won." Friend, censoring dissident voices, building walls, and lying about everything is not what winning looks like.

      2/ That's what terminal rot looks like. When the Soviet Union was rolling out rural electrification and sending the barefoot sons of farmers to study math and engineering, they didn't HAVE to lie about change and growth The lies started later, when growth dropped to or below 0

          3/ Compare the Soviet Union in 1955 to 1975 or 85. In 55 there were lots of true believers. The Berlin Wall didn't go up the day WWII ended. It went up 16 years later. For 16 years, the story that "Communism is better" was plausible enough that they didn't NEED a wall.

          4/ The American Cathedral didn't NEED to censor people say "the election was stolen" in 1976, because no one was credibly saying such a thing, and everyone believed in the basic morality of the Other Party.

          5/ The urge to censor, to crush, to humiliate, to silence ... that's not an urge that a strong, stable, self-evidently successful government needs to indulge in.

          6/ So I don't worry that "they've won, for all time, and our side will never get a nostril above water again". This is the death throws of liberalism. We all know that the word "liberal" originally meant "in favor of freedoms", and look how far the brand has mutated.

          7/ We've gone from "The radical free speech movement" 50 years ago to "people voicing their opinions via a podcast is a 'loophole' that must be shut down." This is an ideology that's run out of all successes, all ability to persuade with results.

          9/ And, yes, many have, and it's pathetic. But it's a Generations theory thing. These poor bastards were raised in an environment suffused with feminism, lies about the utility of liberal arts education, incompetent leaders who simultaneously told everyone to go to college >

          10/ AND helped created sufficient supply of loans for college by promising lendors that the loans were not dischargeable in bankruptcy. This generation of communists was shafted by a generation of incompetents (Biden, etc.) and they grew up blinded, punched in the head

          15/ Our tribe is tempted to say things like "ah, 1789 America, those were my people." That's a country of about 3 million people, and actually you would have hated 1/3 or 1/2 of them. Puritan scolds from Harvard whipping people for disrespecting their orthodoxies.

          16/ Tidewater bullies, whipping slaves and fighting dogs for fun. Scots Irish idiots, doing Scots Irish idiot things. You can paint a [ fake ] rosy picture of the era, but the truth is that only a fraction of those people were our tribe. Maybe 1 million of us back then.

          18/ believed in Big Government heard and soul, etc. They were more than happy to herd American citizens into camps based on ancestry. The excesses of government-run Jim Crow were everywhere. H L Mencken, Laura Ingalls Wilder, that whole crowd - those were the DISSIDENTS.

          19/ This was before the 1960s push for more free speech (which I strongly defend). So of the 139 US citizens in 1945, how many were "our tribe" ? I'm guessing 1/4 or so. So the population of our tribe was maybe 35 M back then.

          20/ 2021 - how big is Our Tribe now? I think it's still about 1/4 of the US population ... which makes it 82 million people. ...but now we've got connectivity. A tribe is defined not just by shared characteristics, but by shared culture and connectivity. Our tribe >>>

          21/ In South Africa, Russia, Germany, Japan, Australia, Chile - all over. I don't think there are 82 million people in this New Country Without a Name - I think there are more like 150 or 200 million. That's still a huge minority of the Earth's population ... but it's big.

          28/ The USG is a quarter millennium old pile of garbage with a veneer of marble and red-white-and-blue bunting, wrapped in a rainbow flag, decorated with anti-intellectual "tRuSt tHe sCiEncE" propaganda posters. It can't launch a spaceship. It can't distribute a vaccine.
