[Excerpts]
Now our liberal elite, backed up by the Fredocon whose awakening into wokeness perfectly coincides with their utter
rejection by us conservatives, have decided that our entire history is
based upon slavery.
The New York Times is spearheading this
latest "trash-the-rubes" initiative, fresh off its "RUSSIA! TREASON!
COLLUSION! EMOLUMENTS!" humiliation.
They tried to shame us (many of us veterans of the Cold War) with allegations of partying with Putin. It didn’t work out so great, so why not pivot to morally undermining us for having
slaves we didn’t have?
Apparently.
It’s not like the ruling caste has achievements to back up its arrogance.
Our elite is a
collection of pedestrian mediocrities who inherited our civilization from the
people who actually created it and fought for it. Like every spoiled child
who was handed free stuff by his doting mommy and daddy, our elite is resentful
and obnoxious.
Elites don’t appreciate what it takes to build,
feed, fuel and defend what we have – as a group, they didn’t do any of those
things.
No one appreciates what he didn’t work for and earn, and our alleged
betters did not work for and earn the positions and prestige they hold at the
heads of our institutions. They got where they are by just showing up, and by
parroting hacky, politically correct dogma, not by actual achievement.
Look at what our universities are pumping out. Their elite graduates can’t read or write and they think history started in 1996. The only things the elites have ever created are evermore tiresome and weird gender
identities.
A historical comparison:
Hello, I am Teddy Roosevelt. I was born
wealthy, won the Medal of Honor, busted the trusts like this Facebook atrocity
of which you speak, and I literally punched out a bear once.
Yo, my name is Kaden. I’m an
otherkin-identifying, non-binary gendered, two-spirit from Brooklyn with a
degree in Climate Change Ventriloquism from Yale. I’m not ashamed to cry when I
see a MAGA hat because my mom says my feelings are important. Bernie is too
patriarchal for me, so Beto 2020!
Here’s a question, and it’s a fair one. What has the
ruling class done right in the last 20 years?
Crickets.
We know what America achieved under the old ruling class.
It beat the Nazis – the real Nazis, not the fake bugaboo “Nazis” that the left
labels everyone on the right. It fought through
the Depression. It trashed the Democrat’s Jim Crow regime. It designed the ’65
Mustang, created the Big Mac and put a man on the moon. It crushed the communists in the Cold War.
The old elite was not perfect, but at least you can
point to some tics in the “WIN” column.
Not so with the coterie of "elites" running our
institutions today. It’s all check marks under “LOSS.” Iraq. The Wall Street
Meltdown. Obamacare.
Do you see a lot of successes? Do you see any? Have I overlooked
some tremendous victory this generation of our betters pulled off? I can’t
think of any offhand. Gee, how about social media? Yeah, there’s progress.
We are actually losing ground. Our light
bulbs don’t light anymore, our front-loading washing machines don’t wash
anymore and our straws don’t straw anymore. Even our Star Wars movies
today are exponentially crappier than the ones from 40 years ago.
So, what’s just one great thing the magnificent, magical
masterminds of our elite have pulled off since maybe 2000?
Just one.
One thing.
Go.
Uh, today we’re now really aware of our [FILL
IN THE BLANK WITH TODAY’S DESIGNATED VILLAIN GROUP] privilege?
That’s not a thing.
And even that nonsense only applies to us Normals.
For
all their newly-woke awareness of their privilege, have you ever once seen a
single member of our alleged elite argue that, due to its privilege, the elite
should give up some of its power? You and me, sure.
We totally need to give up
our freedom and our money too. Have you ever seen a single policy
prescription for one of the pseudo-crises the elite is constantly trying to
pimp turn out to be that they stop being in charge, that they give
up some their ill-gotten gains?
Please. They’re so concerned with global warming that
they all have to take private jets to Davos to tell us we need to start biking
to work.
Yet, with a track record unbroken by success and unmarred
by anything like competence, our elite still offers us a laundry list of tasks
it demands we Normals undertake.
Astonishingly, it does so with a straight
face.
And our elite can't back up its arrogance with some sort of history of
accomplishments, beyond the level of, “Well, our generation of leaders is the
very best us we can be!”
There’s a healthcare crisis. Our task is to give up our freedom and give up our money to the elite to
solve it.
There’s a gun crisis. Our task is to give up our
freedom and give up our money to the elite to solve it.
There’s a climate crisis. Our task is to give up our
freedom and give up our money to the elite to solve it.
They created most
of these problems in the first place.
They whine about student loans, but who
set up the college cash machine that is American academia?
Our medical system
is a wreck? Dudes, our medical system is Obamacare, and you’re the ones who
stuffed it down our gullets!
In what way has our elite proven itself capable
of doing anything right, much less overseeing our doctors,
protecting our newly-disarmed citizenry and controlling the weather?
What happens if the useless elite prevails?
Well, find
out in my action-packed yet hilarious novels about the United States’ split
into red and blue countries, People's Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire.
