This Is Woke “LEADERSHIP”

The mayors of our major cities have fallen prey to the mindless woke mobs and their asinine, contradictory demands. Worse is Portland. Real people are being hurt here. Murder rates are rising or going through the roof, they certainly aren’t going down, and a demand for more disarming the innocent and violating our sacred RIGHT to self-preservation isn’t going to help this at all.

The increased murder rates are “unprecedented” in modern times, according to A REPORT released in February of 2021. But it’s only getting worse, not better. Take away the top 30 most murderous cities and the US would have a far lower murder rate. What’s common in these cities is a high incidence of woke authoritarianism and low incidence of respect for human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing.

Violent crime is also a problem, with your chances of being a victim of violent crime in Detroit being 1 in 51. Given a number of years and you are unlikely to either not be a victim or to have a loved one be a victim.

The woke savage has no mercy. While this spirit loves to virtue signal, it’s actual concern for actual human beings is roughly rated at zero.

Do fewer laws equal less poverty?

Eben McDonald of Counterpoints writes about the way three European countries fought poverty with less laws and less taxes in The Economic Standard.

Eben writes, in part, “Data from the World Economic Forum can easily be used to demonstrate that the world’s most prosperous countries are market-oriented and business-friendly.”

Using Ireland, Switzerland, and Luxembourg as examples, with data to back it up, it becomes clear that economic growth demands that taxes and laws be kept to reasonable levels but that when they are, what we call human flourishing is possible. The weight of excessive taxes and laws, beyond their point of usefulness or where their costs to society outweigh their benefits, drags people and the economy down.

Our perspective is that it’s not JUST about these things, but they are important, it is also about addressing actual disadvantaged communities and groups of people as well as preserving a sociocultural foundation that is life-affirming and that promotes human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing.

We would argue from a Freedomist perspective that the “great reset” invoked by the World Economic Forum, would wage war on private ownership, entrepreneurship, productivity increases, and real economic growth, all the core elements needed to combat poverty. One may be excused to suspecting that poverty is a feature, not a bug, of this “great reset.”

Big Tech Blocks Covid Treatment Information

Connect the dots and follow the money to see why the big tech oligarchy are so desperate to block Covid treatment.

See this segment on the problem. The gist is this, “Sen. Johnson and Dr. Pierre Kory on the impact of censorship in fight against COVID-19 https://t.co/gemBdonw9p @SundayFutures @FoxNews @SenRonJohnson @PierreKory”

The big tech oligarchy is fighting hard to block information and free discussions around possible Covid-19 treatments. Their reasons may be partisan or monetary or both. The powers and entities benefiting from blocking information include the Chinese communist party, the Democratic Party, the lockdown governors, and big pharma. These are all the entities known to have deep hooks into the people who are part of the big tech oligarchy.

The net effect is a potential loss of life. Without free and open discourse, possible effective treatments are a no-go. This means we don’t even block crackpot theories, because the process of scientific exploration demands a “no heresies excluded” approach. Unless actual fraud is being conducted, our major discourse platforms have a moral duty to enforce a scientific standard, not an “orthodoxy against heresy” standard.

The platforms continue to show their lack of ethics and the ease with which their monopoly stranglehold over discourse and commerce, perhaps earned through better serving the market, is being abused now to interfere with the market.

The NOISE Of The Woke Savage Isn’t REALITY

The 1930s and 1940s seem like a golden age for our culture, although aspects of those times are best left behind. However, the excuse that the problems of those times, namely and mostly related to inequality on a racial or gender basis, warrant an assault on the underlying moral foundations of that culture is disingenuous. Our aim is to not merely restore the best elements and sociocultural constructs of this golden age of our culture but to advance further and to discard the flaws.

In many ways, but certainly not all, in order to advance American culture further to benefit more people, we need to go back to the 30s and 40s for inspiration, albeit not by simply trying to reconstitute the past.

Often we speak of the depraved culture or corrupt culture. When we do, we are speaking of the fake “culture” PRESENTED to us through the endless noise of the entertainment world, academia, and media, a loud and continuous noise presented as if IT was THE culture embraced by all.

A small qualifying statement is needed: we use the phrase “woke savage” to identify the hypothetical persona which is a threat to our our freedom and way of life. This is rhetorical flourish. Most people who consider themselves woke are not savages hell-bent on chaos or coercing others, but there are leading voices who sound more like the spirit of the woke savage. So, “woke savages” aren’t actual people, it simply a rhetorical device for identifying a type of extreme persona which people may tend to emulate to some degree or another, but it’s not an actual person per se. For instance, we may say President Biden at times gives lip service to or channels the spirit of the woke savage, but we aren’t saying he IS a woke savage.

Let’s begin with discussing the NOISE that presents itself to us everyday.

Most people in most places most of the time are not embracing the noise as something that reflects who they are. They may be foolishly, recklessly, bowing to it or being silent when it comes calling and demands their nods of approval. When they are told to stop seeing gender as a biological construct but as a social construct and yet also that sexual orientation is purely biological, they just nod along without sincerely agreeing because they “don’t need the hassle.”

The noise, filled with nonsense about race-baiting and gender-bending and flooded with utopian promises about how government can meet every need if only it had more power, begins to feel like the culture it is covering over. The noise isn’t the culture that is actually practiced by anyone save the hardcore partisan. No serious person who embraces a Judeo-Christian culture doubts their biological gender or that sexual orientation is mostly a choice, even if it has biological causes as well.

The average person who follows our Judeo-Christian moral tradition knows they are not racist just because of their skin color. They know that “the white race” isn’t any more prone to imperialism than any national groups of people throughout history who gained power and military advantage.

The noise presents what seems to us is a morally backward, barbaric libertinism. It presents this as the norm but the average person in this country still wants a happy marriage with their own children and a loving family life in a home they own. It is also true the average person doesn’t much care that others may want something different. They begin to bridle when they are vilified for being “cisgender breeders” and when their choice of marriage and family life is treated as if it is fringe.

Historians know that when you study the official records of a society you may not be seeing things as they really were in that society. The leavings of the record, the noise which covered over that society’s culture, may in fact be more fanciful or aspirational than reflective or accurate. Did this or that Pharaoh really conquer this place or win public furvor for their policies?

Often the official record is “clarified” or contradicted by archeology. We find that the record of many battles between Hittites and Egyptians is contradictory, both sides presenting an entirely different picture.

If one sees the “record” of our time it would seem like the vast majority of people were gender-bending, race-conscious, woke zealots who feared the earth was about to overheat and die unless we turned off technology and reverted to the stone age. But that “record”, all this noise, is a lie. It’s not how things are. It’s how those who make the most noise seem to want things to be and, sadly, it reflects their growing authoritarian intolerance toward any and all forms of dissent from their fake narrative.

The problem is that the noise is not without meaning or influence. The number of young people confused about gender, thanks to this noise, has skyrocketed and is only getting worse. Years ago we warned that the gender-bending agenda would come for our kids and that even public schools would pressure young people to not only accept and participate in this libertine depravity or be shunned and shamed. That is literally beginning to happen.

Eventually, if the people of the deeper culture acquiesce to the noise, the noise, like a virus, infects the whole and destroys it from within. Eventually, the noise, which is artificial and fake, replaces the real, but not necessarily with itself. The destroyed culture doesn’t just become like the noise, it will mutate in ways nobody expects and become something hideous or break down to chaotic ruin, a rule of the wild in which only the strong survive. The woke anti-culture can never win because it is not natural and doesn’t reflect the reality of human nature. It can, however, so destroy civilized culture, centered on marriage and the family, that what emerges is barbaric pre-culture, savagery.

The truth here is that the noise of this anti-culture of woke barbaric, libertine, authoritarianism cannot replace our deeper culture. But it can destroy it, leaving only a savage pre-culture in its wake. In this scenario, the economic and societal chaos that follows a country that embraces anti-culture as policy will lead to a savage pre-culture where only base survival instinct reigns and only the strong can survive.

The noise of gender-bending, race-baiting, earth-worshipping, and all these other anti-culture ways has no basis in reality or human nature. Creating policies based on this and teaching this as gospel to our children is mass suicide for our country. The archetypical “woke savage” with this anti-culture fake narrative should be shunned off the stage, not lionized or feared, let alone submitted to. This archetype, the woke savage, can be seen as morally criminal because it conducts its abuse against children on a massive scale by dementing their minds with this coerced fake narrative.

The woke savage is a caricature and an archetype that too many people in high places seem to increasingly emulate in real life. So we will use this archetype as shorthand for the overall agenda and its most ardent and more authoritarian perpetrators.

The noise generated by “woke savages” isn’t the culture. We are the culture if we hold on to our culture and resist the woke savge and its anti-culture. We have to insist on fundamental cultural truths, such as that marriage is one man and one woman and most children should be raised by their own biological parents. (Yes, adoption is a thing as well for orphans and abandoned children, who also deserve a father and mother.)

Our culture doesn’t need or demand coercion. In other words, while we may believe marriage is one man and one woman, we can respect those who don’t and who define things differently. We are not affected if your marriage is defined differently than ours, as long as that respect flows in both directions. But if your demands are for respect towards you that isn’t reciprocated, then we have a classic “either-or” scenario where it’s either we get our version of marriage or you get yours.

We can insist gender is biology, but there is no need to disrespect those for whom it is a social construct. For instance, if you want to be called “zir” and “dir” as your pronouns, we may respect that as long as you don’t make it a demand or go onto histrionic outrage when or if we “slip” and call you “he” or “him” because you LOOK to us like a he or a him. Respect that doesn’t flow both ways isn’t respect at all!

The fact Twitter, a major, if not the major, means of sociopolitical discourse in this country, bans anyone who doesn’t go along with their “gender as a social construct” ideology is an example of why people see the platforms as coercive and, frankly, bigoted. Their corporate culture, enforced in their “community standards”, is bigoted against those of a more traditional Judeo-Christian worldview! This may be their “right”, but it doesn’t mean it is right!

The woke anti-culture wants to redefine everything and wants a society classified by racial constructs into oppressed and virtuous groups versus oppressors who are inherently and unforgivably “racist”, but all of whom are non-genderee and undifferentiated, atomized cogs in their woke dictatorship’s machine. Additionally, the woke savage spirit seems to demand every major corporation, which controls our access and means to discourse and commerce, incorporate its edicts as “community standards” used to banish the dissenting.

To the credit of some platforms, these demands are not always agreed to, but the noise and pressure, now official, to do so is growing. Anyone, left or right, who runs afoul of the woke savage is finding it a tougher go on platforms that are more sensitive to the woke fringe noise than to their actual users.

Nothing these woke savage spirit invokes is rational, it doesn’t reflect reality and it doesn’t reflect human nature. Given time, any country that embraces this barbaric, primitive, and animalistic anti-culture will become a dystopian hellscape of pure ruin.

Our culture, founded on fundamental Judeo-Christian ideas and values, is within us and remains, for the most part, the way of life for most people in this country. It is the best culture in human history, despite the flaws of its people, which flaws are a reflection of deviations from the fundamental values of that culture, not a reflection thereof.

The woke savage wants to use deviations by some leaders and individuals of influence from our cultural foundation as a means of deconstruction and invalidation. It wants to tear down everything good and replace it with something unnatural, archaic, and backwards.

We have to stop listening to the noise. We have to stop bowing to the noise. We have to start making our own noise. We are a Judeo-Christian culture and our fundamental truths, principles, and values are not going to be surrendered! We will not bow to a small, vocal minority or the spirit of the woke savage anti-culture and its hard-core zealots whose totalitarianism is all too visible.

If you think gender is a social construct AND all who disagree should be bansihed or that all white people are racist, then you have joined the ranks of the barbaric anti-culture. If you go l think anyone who refuses to agree with your fake narrative should be canceled, then you are a totalitarian thug. We don’t have a dialogue. We don’t need to talk. You either back off or we back you off. You take your craven lust for power and go away.

Our right and our ability to preserve our Judeo-Christian culture and its ways in our lives, relationships, free associations, and communities cannot be questioned. Any entity, public or private, aiming at limiting our freedom and trying to make life hard for us, by abusing its monopoly stranglehold over our means of commerce and discourse, should be “nuked from orbit”, as it were.

We don’t demand everyone live as we do. We don’t even care if YOU think gender is a social construct! What we won’t submit to or tolerate is a demand that we abondon our way of life and cultural convictions about the very nature of humanity and human relationships so you can feel good about your choices. This means we will keep saying gender is 100% biological, marriage is best between one man and one woman for life, and all children should be raised by their own biological parents, while orphans and abandoned children should be adopted by a mom and dad.

Because we value pluralism and respect freewil, we don’t care if you disagree and organize yourself or your communities around different ideas and beliefs. In our schema, you are free to live what we see as a woke anti-culture, what you may see as “progress” or “evolution.” But in your schema, you don’t allow for dissent from your fake narrative, and yes we know you don’t think it is fake. You want your beliefs codified into law, you want punishments for dissent in the name of “anti hate speech”, you demand internal banishment for dissenters from all platforms where most all discourse and commerce MUST occur, and you demand children at the youngest age be indoctrinated with your ideas and shamed by public schools unless they participate in your lifestyle.

Some may argue, “it’s convenient that now that the Judeo-Christian worldview is being proscribed you traditionalists suddenly want to preach pluralism.” This is a valid criticism of our culture. It has accepted and embraced the idea that the coercive power should enforce its sociocultural constructs as law. But so has almost every culture in human history. The desire to construct laws around your sociocultural norms is itself a norm!

If anything “good” comes from the woke anti-culture and it’s attack on the Judeo-Christian culture it is a realization that in embracing the coercive power as a culture-enforcer we have sowed the seeds of our own ruin. The very apparatus our ancestors erected to enforce their sociocultural constructs in law is now being used to proscribe those constructs by force or through the monopolistic powers of mega corporations which control commerce and discourse.

The coercive power should absolutely enforce a free and pluralistic norm and punish those who infringe on the rights, persons, and property of others, including their rights to free association and free expression. And, yes, it should absolutely prevent a monopolistic cabal from infringing on the rights of others to create competitive structures and platforms their collusion aimed at their economic ruin.

When communications and internet infrastructure providers who have most of the market share banish dissenters or dissenting platforms, such as a browser blocking a website, then, yes, the coercive power has a vested interest in stopping this artificial manipulation of the marketplace. It is one thing for platforms to have their own community standards, it is another for them to go outside and try to interfere with other platforms to prevent competition.

But, for the most part, this is not the case, most of the woke savage ideation is contained within some of these platforms and it remains possible to build alternatives.

If we manage to vanquish the anti-culture of the woke savage, we cannot outlaw it or its practitioners. We cannot ever again rely on or seek the coercive power to enforce our sociocultural constructs. We must depend on the soft power of freewill participation to perpetuate and preserve our chosen way of life. If indeed our culture is as superior as we say it is, then purely voluntary participatory free association should be all we need to advance it and maintain it. Its obvious benefits and good fruits should be visible proof as to its veracity.

We do not condemn our ancestors. To do so would be to hold them to an impossible standard. The evolution of human civilization toward a voluntary free association instead of pure barbaric coercion has involved a process of thousands of years. What our ancestors did was lay the foundation upon which we could build our present understanding of culture as a voluntary participatory free association that ought not be coercively imposed. Without their achievements we could not even have this discussion.

We have the woke savages to thank for showing us rather graphically how our present system of state and monopoly corporate coercive controls is inherently flawed and poses a real threat to our human dignity and our culture. We must build a civilizational paradigm wherein culture is strictly voluntary and where the political and corporate worlds have almost nothing to do with sociocultural constructs between groups of people on freewill participation association.

But first we have to recognize and turn off the constant and deceptive noise. You who still embrace the norms of a Judeo-Christian culture are still in the majority. The noise-making woke savages are a fringe who have managed to grab ahold of the topmost parts of our institutions and they are using this platform, built and funded by us, to abuse the entire country with their anti-culture barbarism.

We must turn off the noise from these corrupted institutions, especially the two major political parties and mega corporations infected by these savages, and we must make our own noise through strictly voluntary alternative institutions. To use a phrase our woke enemies coined, “we must be the change we want to see.”

What we want to see is sociocultural constructs on the basis of freewill participatory association alone and a pluralism that allows people to form freewill participatory associations as they deem fit so long as this is voluntary and so long as it respects the rights, persons, and property of others. We don’t simply want to roll back the clock to when our culture was enforced coercively or its privileges limited by race or gender: these are flaws we happily abandon because they are actually antithetical to the deeper foundations of our culture!

The noise of the anti-culture is a lie, it is a fake narrative relying on the hard, but weaker, force of corporate and governmental coercion aimed at the rights of freewill participatory association, which right is owned by individuals. Yes, when you deplatform someone from a platform that is the predominant way we engage in social and economic intercourse because they defy your woke anti-culture, then this is coercion. It may be legal coercion and our responses may be simply “unhitching” from your “martix”, but it is still coercive by intent.

Our solution to the woke anti-culture coerciveness of the state and monopoly corporations is actually not to coerce them back. In this case, fighting fire with fire only leads to more burning and damage. We can never return to the idea of coercing even these coercive private companies, we simply have to build alternative structures outside their control and only when or if they seek to damage our alternative structures in illegal ways should we appeal to law.

This is a process. It isn’t going to happen overnight. It is simply our only path.

First, recongize that the woke anti-culture promoted by all this noise still remains a lunatic fringe. Even some of these monopoly corporations are beginning to see that the woke anti-culture noise is distracting and harmful to their own operations. It is not impossible to think that some of these platforms may realize they have swung too far from the sentiment and interest of their users and they must move back toward tolerance and liberty. If they don’t, eventually they will lose users and new alternatives will emerge.

Second, recognize that our own collective embracing of coercive power to enforce our sociocultural constructs has created the very spirit of the woke savage that is now haunting for us. We can never return to that.

Third, recognize that our Judeo-Christian culture is superior only because its benefits and fruits can be seen and achieved without any form of coercion. If we have to use coercion to maintain our culture than our culture our culture is inferior.

Fourth, recognize the need to support and participate in alternative structures, including things like our new platform we are building, that perpetuate our culture on a strictly voluntary basis. We need our own means of discourse, economic interaction, and sociocultural connections that isn’t dependent upon the structures that are presently dominated by the anti-culture.

Fifth, we must NOT become that which our enemies have become, intolerant monsters who barely consider people outside their sociocultural constructs to be completely human. We cannot become bigoted and intolerant toward people whose views and practices don’t align with our culture or religion. This won’t stop the woke savages from lying about us and calling us bigots for simply preferring our way of life above all others, for them it’s “submit or be canceled”, for us it remains, “live and let live” and we cannot abandon that.

Is It The End Of America?

When you have a long view of history and understand how whole civilizations rise and fall it is easy to see the signs that America is on a path of self-destruction. Everything from libertine cultural barbarity to massive government debt and the growing monopolistic nature of the market points to a day of reckoning that won’t be pretty.

But is America doomed, is it really the end of America?

Going back to having a long view of history, the doom of any society can seem to take decades. For instance, one can see the rot that would destroy the western half of the Roman Empire infect the whole empire way back some hundreds of years before the final collapse in 476 AD. But this fall was delayed in the whole empire and prevented in half that empire in ways nobody could have foreseen in, say, 300 AD.

America is in fact tearing down its spiritual, moral, cultural, economic, and civic foundations and rendering its entire apparatus of civilization weak and inflexible, corrupt and insensible to changing circumstances, and hostile to its own citizenry. The rise of the woke totalitarians, the cancel culture extremists, the corporate monopolies, and the neocommunist political class are all but SYMPTOMS of spiritual and cultural rot. The backwards, savage barbarians who usually threaten a civilization from outside its frontiers are in fact firmly ensconced within and at the top of all of our major institutions.

This does not necessarily mean America is doomed. This does not necessarily mean that the trajectory of self-destruction will remain on course or at the present high speed. It can suddenly slow down, veer to the side, and even reverse course given the right set of circumstances. All throughout time it has been a “humor of history” for unexpected and unlikely things to completely change the atmosphere and balance of power in the blink of an eye.

Those who know history tend to be highly dubious about “inevitability”, save in the broadest sense that old civilizations die of spiritual depravity and new civilizations rise on the wings of spiritual awakening. In any period of decline and fall it is not set in stone either that the old paradigm is going to fall soon or that the transition to the new paradigm will not be peaceful.

Going back to the Roman Empire, the civilizational apparatus in the west fell apart but in the eastern half, the old paradigm of Classical Civilization was peacefully replaced by the new paradigm of Byzantine Civilization. What we see in this one sample is that when an empire embraces the new paradigm it remains and when it refuses to make the transition it falls.

America is an empire.

When we say “empire” you may be thinking of an emperor and an imperial government and of imperialism mixed with some form of authoritarianism. Come to think of it, our empire is beginning to take on those character flaws of empire, but that is not what we mean by empire.

An empire is an expensive landed sovereignty consisting of many entities and nationalities which are united under a broad legal code and common ideals. Empire speaks to the large size, the multiple nationalities, and the single broad unitary legal code more than the form of government. A highly decentralized empire that gives its constituent entities and people groups a high degree of self-determination within a broad legal code tends toward stability and prosperity more than a centralized empire with an authoritarian system.

For evidence of this, consider our empire has lasted nigh unto 250 years compared to the short run of the Soviet empire!

As America sees its spiritual depravity leading to the symptoms thereof, including a corrupt and authoritarian monopoly of power and wealth, it feels like doom approaches. But doom is not inevitable.

What is the path that will save our empire and revive our civilizational apparatus? Basically, the path is a new spiritual awakening that results in a new civilizational paradigm. Such a transition has no room for the monopolists, the totalitarians, or the barbaric libertines. But this is not a matter of outlawing them per se, it is a wholesale spiritual and sociocultural rejection of them and their ideas from the populace. They simply become pariahs and outcasts in the eyes of most people, most all of whom have internalized the new paradigm as part of their very identity.

The transition from the dying and old civilizational paradigm to the new comes from within the spirit, mind, and heart of each person who rejects the old and internalizes the new. Each person who embraces the new paradigm does their small part in saving this empire from ruin.

The new civilizational paradigm is, we propose, the path to revive our land and fulfill its ancient promise of freedom with liberty and justice for all. As individuals and then freewill participatory associations of such people form and collaborate, the forces unleashed by them in the spiritual and cultural life of America become supernaturally charged and all-powerful.

The path to save our empire is like that of the eastern Roman Empire, it is the path of spiritual awakening that embraces the new civilizational paradigm, one person, one family, and one community at a time!

It is not true that America is doomed UNTIL that doom comes. But it is true that our spiritual depravity, which is leading to cultural barbarism and rising totalitarianism among our ruling class, will lead to the doom of our empire if it remains unchecked.

It begins with us, as individuals, rejecting the spiritual depravity and cultural barbarism, it begins with a spiritual awakening, and it grows as we embrace the new civilizational paradigm and begin organizing our lives, relationships, associations, and communities around this.

America is not doomed. The current trajectory is not inevitable. What remains to be seen is if all or parts of this land are saved from the doom slowly building in the spiritual and cultural rot that is growing within every major institution. This rot may take years or whole generations to reach its point of failure, so we may have little time or lots of time, or we may endure a dark winter under the boot of woke totalitarianism before enough people realize their need to embrace a new spiritual awakening and a new civilizational paradigm.

None of this is inevitable. The choice begins within each of us and then extends beyond us as we seek to awaken others and build new relationships and associations based on the new civilizational paradigm. To fulfill America’s promise, we must realize that the heart of that promise is a new civilization rooted in Judeo-Christian ideals and the vision of an empire of freedom with liberty and justice for all.

Our path is fulfillment or doom. Whether all or parts of America will choose the path of life remains an open and unanswered question.

Holidays Don’t Fix Inequity

“JUNETEENTH” as a federal holiday is a far cry from addressing the historic injustices and present-day inequities endured by African-Americans, as individuals and as nations of people, within this land. We must do better and we must do so on the basis of equal freedom with liberty and justice for ALL people and for all nations of people who dwell on these shores.

Democrats pushed for and are celebrating “Juneteenth”, June 19th, as a federal holiday to celebrate the emancipation of the slaves in 1866. But merely giving a holiday as a transparent sop without handling the substance of historic injustice and present-day inequity faced by African-Americans as individuals and as nations of people is pathetic and wrong.

Notice the angle of approach here. The issue and controversy isn’t individualistic, it is whole-istic. It is both the individual and the national people with whom they are identified as a part. It is both individuals and BODIES OF PEOPLE. The issue is equity both for individuals and bodies of people whose continuum of existence exceeds individual lifespans.

Equity as historically used means “the quality of being fair and inpartial”, but it also means the quality of getting a fair return on the basis of your contribution to wealth creation. To this day, the African-American as an ethnic body, or domestic nation, has not truly enjoyed equity. Things are better in many ways, but not in every way, and the disparity between the equity enjoyed by those of European ethnicity and the black community is still a gaping chasm.

The Republicans tend toward pretending all the ills of this inequitable and unjust treatment of people of African lineage, both individuals and the whole body of people, is all in the past. Democrats pretend the worse things, which included official legal bondage and then segregation, are still exactly as they were. In both cases, the goal seems to be the suppression and sidelining of the African-American nations of people within our land.

Equity for any nation of people goes beyond, though must include, legal protections against discrimination and violations of their rights, persons, or properties and respect for all their liberty as defined by the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights. It is perhaps no accident that every city with sizeable African-American ethnicities has almost zero respect for human liberty as defined by the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights.

The African-American ethnicities do not need our patronizing charity or special “accommodations” because they aren’t somehow “smart enough” to engage life like everyone else can. A holiday to celebrate the freeing of slaves, which ought to include honoring both the slaves and their liberators, namely the Union Army, is a grand idea. But it is a sop when the substantive work of rectifying PRESENT DAY, as oppsosed to historical or presently imagined, inequities faced by African-American nations of people even today.

Sadly, the only people even speaking about the inequitable treatment of the black community overall are Democrats. Their approach is to foster hatred from black to white, to inflate injustices and create a fearful victimhood among black people. They use the crises faced by the black community to excuse morally backwards assualts on the liberty of, first, the black community, and then all Americans.

One may be forgiven for thinking neither the Republicans nor the Democrats want the black man or black woman on this land to have full dignity and sovereignty and to enjoy the same level and quality of life as every other ethnic group in this land.

Perhaps the only difference is that a program of rights suppression and inequity inflicted on the black community, mostly by Democrats who control areas of major clusters of people of different African ethnicities, is now envisioned by Democrats for the EVERY ethnicity in the land. The only exceptions would be the new vassals and rulers above us serfs, and the new apparatchiks, party elitists, and politburo, of their one-party totalitarian monopoly.

The new version of communism, woke communism, is an incestious marriage between rulers in the corporate world, the world of culture creation, and the political world whose malevolent intent is to become monopoly overlords while invoking all the bogeyman fears and utopian pipedreams rooted in the Marxist ideology.

Woke communists use virtue-signalling and histrionic outrage both to make “victims” feel powerless and to delegitimize and demonize their competition. The aim is to shut of any critical analysis about and transparency as to their true agenda while painting a broad bush condemnation of any dissent as somehow being phobic, racist, or intolerant, regardless of the true facts or the intent.

Creating victims and oppressors out of thin air and fomenting mistrust and hate between groups in their coalition (the victim groups) and groups outside their coalition (the “oppressors”) makes it easy to divide and conquer while preventing real scrutiny of just what you are trying to pull off- a coup against the basic dignity and and spiritual sovereignty of every human being under their rule.

The black community is a convenient tool, excuse, and vehicle to power for these woke communists. Make no mistake, if you are a black person, these woke communists, regardless of their ethnicity, don’t see you any differently than the people in Africa who captured and sold Africans into slavery, the slavers who transported them, or the plantation owners who bought them.

Simply running away from the Democratic Party to become a super Republican and cosigning their nonsense about how there is no more injustice or racism to speak of afflicting the black community is also a bad reaction. Republicans don’t fight for the real liberty of their core base, made up of mostly European ethnicities, how do you think they will stand up for you?

The typical Republican reaction (that everyone is to blame for whatever their present circumstance and must pull themselves up by their own bootstraps) is cruelty itself, aimed mostly at dispossessed and disadvantaged nations of people among us who DID NOTHING to contribute to their present state of affairs!

If you argue, “but the black community has problems it must address for itself”, ask yourself what vehicles and means it has to do that and what its starting point is. The federal government has literally run this entire multinational empire as if only some national peoples mattered, but now that empire is turning on everyone who isn’t ideologically pure. In short, the average person of European-American extraction is finding the same empire that essentially only saw European nations of people as truly American has begun to see only people who tow this ideological line of woke communism as deserving of respect and dignity.

African-American nations and all other nations of people are being subordinated to the woke nation! The ideology of the few is being made a bondage for the many. But, for all that, it still remains easier for the average white person than the average black person.

The inequities faced by the average black man and black woman in America will no more be solved through holidays than through a neocommunist war on America’s goodness and freedom itself. If everything good about America is trashed and nothing remains but the substance of the Democratic Party Platform, we all become little more than chattel owned by a corporate and political ruling class and their cultural and bureaucratic apparatus.

How is the monopolistic “rainbow totalitarianism” of corporate-governmental “woke communism” ever going to help African-American families and businesses prosper? It isn’t, it would only further degrade their options and limit their sovereignty.

What does equity look like for the black community? Namely, we would propose a law making it easy for any sociocultural body of people, especially the African ethnicities, to form new “domestic nations” based on “fraternal bonds” (including ethnicity), like indigenous tribes. We propose that lands dominated by them also be made like unto reservations. We further propose that they have seats in Congress proportional to the members of their “domestic fraternal nation.”

In matters of local land use, marriage, family, most economic matters, social needs or social services, and civil matters generally, domestic fraternal nations would have a broad autonomy within a larger framework of laws crafted by free republics and the federal power.

This establishes self-determination for those African ethnic “tribes”, or domestic fraternal nations, within America. These domestic fraternal nations would be ruled by and for the African-American people who are both Africans by ethnicity and also fully and equally AMERICANS of equal value and dignity.

These African-American domestic fraternal nations, which may coalesce around similar religio-cultural affinities, would also now be able to be served more rationally with direct aid given to the domestic nation’s government and meted out as they deem fit. While any sociocultural group of people could form a domestic fraternal nation and any lands its members own in some concentration could gain a special “homeland status”, the African-American domestic fraternal nations must have a priority of care because their nations within this land have received the most abuse and the least equity!

The idea of reparations from “white people to black people” on an individual basis seems asburd. But African-American nations of people among us can be given reparations from the United States of America which, as a multinational country, abused these nations and owes them reparations.

It is true no living PERSON was ever a slave or a slave owner. But nations have an existence that transcends the lifespan of individuals, their life and existence has a continuum of sometimes thousands of years. So also do empires, such as ours. The American empire is a Union of multiple states but also a land of many nations of people. The African-American nations among us have had a long and torturous history with the government of our Union and to rectify this, and bring them to parity with all other nations of people among us, is a radical and just necessity!

A similar reckoning between the United States and our indigenous domestic nations is also envisioned. The goal for each and every domestic fraternal nation being freedom and prosperity through internal sociocultural and socioeconomic autonomy within a large and pluralistic society of equals where the grand vision of an empire of liberty prevails equally and justly for ALL.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans will back these ideas because, at root, both agree that this country should become a unitary state ruled by an incestious partnership between the political class and the corporate class who are assisted by a culture-creation monopoly and a centralized bureaucratic apparatus.

True equity for African-American nations of people can only come when these ethnic groups have domestic fraternal nation status, when their clusters of people enjoy reservation status, and when aid and reparations aimed at bringing them up to the common living standard flows from our country through their own leadership. The distributed African-American nations of people must both be given true and effectual autonomy and they must be embraced and treated as 100% equal Americans, like every single nation of people within these United States of America.

The grievance is not between “white people and black people”, it is between the government of our Union and the African-American nations among us. This isn’t a racial issue, this is a sovereignty and justice issue. This is a conflict between an oppressive government and domestic nations of people abused both by that government and its partners, namely the corporations and institutions of this land. The “white man” has a stake on promoting justice for the black man, because the injustice they might tolerate against the black woman will become the injustice aimed at the white man.

When we understand life and things like justice and equity, including liberty and basic human rights, from the perspective of nations of people in relation to a multinational empire of freedom, which America is destined to become, things become clearer. Likewise, as the true grievances of African-American nations versus our “empire” and its government become clear, so too does a better path forward become visible and obvious.

Our vision of America is to become a Commonwealth not only of sovereign republics (i.e. “states”, though we propose many more states), but of member “domestic nations”, like unto indigenous tribes, which all enjoy self-determination. Such a massive decentralized empire of freedom, with liberty and justice for all, would be strong in national defense, would enjoy a robust free market, and would be a pluralistic society where racism, bigotry, and intolerance are truly rare and where most everyone most of the time gets the freedom to choose the sociocultural milieu in which they live.

Just as the “domestic nations” of indigenous tribes did not wane in their patriotic love of this country, which they defended, so too the proliferation of diverse domestic fraternal nations will not balkanize America but, rather, increase patriotism and justice and spread both wealth and equal liberty to every single citizen of our pluralistic empire of freedom.

This vision for America as a united Commonwealth of multiple free republics and autonomous domestic nations with their own distributed homelands is the ONLY path to preserving liberty for all, fulfilling our country’s true destiny, and rectifying historic wrongs.

Any effort to rectify the inequities faced by African-Americans today or to rectify historic injustice against African nations in this land MUST empower these nations of people under a system of self-rule and self-preservation run by their own leaders for their own people with the backing of our entire country, of which their nations are a valuable part.

The posturing by Democrats and their hijacking of the grievances of African nations in this land as an excuse to further erode liberty and excuse monopoly power grabs is reprehensible and barbaric. Likewise, while the Republicans generally tend to soundbite more in the direction of individual liberty, their refusal to countenance any real rectification of historic injustice and present-day inequities inflicted upon African-Americans is reprehensible and disgusting.

In both cases, the problem (of injustice and of assualts on liberty) is seen strictly through an individualistic lens, clouding both the reality and the solution from ever being truly seen. The ability of people to govern their own free republics and domestic fraternal nations as they see fit, within a broader ethic defined in the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights, has not even been considered. The shared or collective right of every national people to be self-governed and to be treated equally by every institution in this land chartered by our government should be the new front on the battle to advance civil rights for all.

America is good because of our ideals and principles, even if they remain unfulfilled and even if politicians in our name have violated them both historically and in the present. Republicans refuse to evolve to a more 21st century approach to fulfilling America’s promise as an empire of freedom for every nation and person in our land, seeing things from a purely individual perspective. Democrats, on the other hand, attack the very substance of America’s goodness, deny its existence, and evince a design of monopoly totalitarianism, albeit through both corporate and official channels.

When African-American domestic nations and their distributed homelands, are governed by and for themselves with the backing of all of America, and when they are treated like indigenous tribes and given reparations aimed at bringing their quality of life up to a common standard, then we can say the problem of historic injustice and present-day inequities has been truly addressed.

The African-American nations among us do not need the Democratic Party to lord it over them, violating things like their right to self-preservation (Second Amendment) and throwing meaningless sops to them or inciting their young people to hate white people. This is disguised racism. African-American nations among us deserve both internal autonomy and self-determination as well as real reparations given from our country to their nation.

By making the issues of historic injustice and present-day inequities a purely individual issue, the Democratic can conceal their contempt for the African-American nations of people as sovereign ethnicities who deserve self-rule and who should be backed by our entire country. Democrats want to control these people and are only using their legitimate grievances as an excuse to lord it over them and everyone else.

The era of exploiting the black woman and the black man without duly and justly compensating them and ennobling them as equals must end.

Politicians in both Parties must step out of the way and give real power to these people as domestic fraternal nations while offering reparations which their leaders manage and which aim to equalize their standing in relationship to all the nations of people within this land. Giving a holiday to celebrate an emancipation that has not been fully realized for all African-Americans and that is being eroded for most all other Americans is meaningless theater.

Once Again We Must DEFEAT A War On Freedom

We must make a fresh determination in our hearts, as did the men and women in World War Two, to fight to defend freedom! We do this by defending and advancing what makes America good and defeating the ongoing war on America’s goodness. This is a war on freedom by today’s version of the Axis Powers, the woke communists!

Freedom is rooted in goodness.

Take away goodness and freedom is reduced to libertine license and animalistic savagery. America’s freedom stands on our goodness. This is why we say that a war on America’s goodness as the line of attack against freedom by the new Axis of woke communists!

Let’s begin by asking, “What makes America good?”

It’s not what you think, and if you get this right you understand what is truly at stake is the very existing of our country. If you get this wrong you become distracted and fight meaningless battles that won’t change the outcome of this war on freedom.

Trump’s slogan remains “Make America Great Again”, MAGA. But the word “great” implies our military power, wealth, or economic clout and standing compared to the world. On the contrary, when we focus on how America is GOOD we get a different feeling in two ways.

First, we aren’t trying to make America good, it is good. Second, we aren’t necessarily trying to compare America to other countries or imply that only we can be good.

So many people support Trump because, whatever else is said about him, they deeply believe he loves America as America, not as some weird globalized hybrid devoid of our heritage. Whatever the truth behind the myth, the people following Trump are generally drawn to him because they inwardly feel that which is the essence of America is under siege.

The war on America’s goodess, both in denying it is a real thing and in attacking its historical moral orthodoxy, is all-too common among the new Axis of “woke communists”, right and left, who occupy places of power in both political parties and every major institution.

America is not good because we have wealth or military might, we are not good because we are great compared to other countries. America is also not good because we unhypoctritically adhere our stated ideals and values across the board. These things are not the source of our goodness.

America is good because the foundational ideals create an arc of history toward a free and pluralistic society. This is a vision predicated on God’s standards of righteousness and justice.

America fulfilled in its ideals is a society made up of spiritually sovereign human beings created in the image of God. It may thay these ideals, as some rightfully explain, are violated in practice. But they are real and they are good. The sociocultural and spiritual heritage, constitution (as in our spiritual constitution), and true manifest destiny of America as a free and pluralistic society of equals is what makes America good.

If America chooses to betray and turn its back on its innate goodness, out of some deconstructionist pique about how we haven’t yet fulfilled our ideals and our potential, then America will not only cease to be great, it will cease to be America!

America is great because America is good and if America ceases to be good, it ceases to be great. This was the sentiment of Alexis de Tocqueville and many of America’s foundational thinkers and builders. Even Thomas Jerfferson, despite hypocritically owning slaves, could not deny that all men, as in all HUMANS, are created equal. The sentiment and truth may have escaped him in practice, but its essential veracity cannot be denied and should never be denied.

Take the notion of manifest destiny. It was warped into an imperialistic lust for lands and colonies in the late 19th century. But, setting aside such a notion, which doesn’t fit our spiritual constitution, the idea of a manifest destiny for individuals or for this country is a sound idea.

America’s manifest destiny isn’t land or power, as was presented in the late 19th century, it is the fulfillment of our goodness as a free and pluralistic society of equals. And to fulfill that manifest destiny we must ever resort to and use America’s goodness as our guide!

This goodness is found in our virtues and ideals, our values and our convictions. It is a benchmark and guide for everything from personal conduct and free enterprise to policy and law.

There are those who are at war with America’s goodness because, at the core, they are waging war on freedom itself. Some call them woke communists, as in a new form of communism which employs private and public institutions and uses the woke cancel culture to suppress opposition. Their favorite tactic is deconstruction.

Deconstruction involves inflating every sin, using guilt by association in the extreme, ignoring anything good about America, and removing the ancient landmarks of right and wrong. Its insidious purpose is to pave the way for an essentially unjust system of top-down and centralized micromanagement of your life. The goal is totalitarianism of some kind.

America’s goodness is more than a foundation for our alleged greatness. Who cares how great we are if we are not good. A great society that isn’t good is only beneficial for the few at the expense of the many. In utilizing our virtues and moral foundations to guide behavioral expectations, public life, and law and in being led by the essentials of our goodness, we acheive goodness that benefits all, excluding none! Goodness is its own reward, it is not just something that gets us something else.

Goodness will generate some form of greatness, but this is the effect, not a goal. Goodness generates freedom and prosperity, it creates a just society that is also pluralistic, and it establishes prosperity as the norm. Don’t let a anyone con you into thinking our goodness isn’t real, isn’t worth defending, and it’s essential to our survival as a free country.

The battle to save and then advance America’s goodness to new heights of fulfillment is a spiritual and then sociocultural battle as well as, albeit secondarily, an economic and then a political battle. The aim is to both defeat the combined agents of a new form of woke communism and to impart and promote America’s goodness as something practiced by individuals and their free associations as well as in our public life, policy, and laws.

Our aim should not merely be to hold back a further advance of the Axis of woke communists and their allies, both right and left. Our aim must be to expose, confront, and defeat efforts by the woke communists to wage war on America’s goodness.

As we Freedomists see it, America’s true manifest destiny, from the perspective of our Judeo-Christian roots, is threefold:

1. to become a decentralized empire of freedom (through virtue, liberty, and independence) with maximum individual and local empowerment according to God’s standards of righteousness and justice

2. to become the cradle of a new civilization founded on shared values and convictions based on our Judeo-Christian roots and worldview and our core ideals

3. to fulfill our spiritual constitution based on a balanced application and Judeo-Christian interpretation of the four core ideals of the new civilization, namely Unity in diversity, Popular sovereignty, Democratic equality, and Rule of law

In such a free and pluralistic society even those whose personal beliefs are neither Jewish nor Christian find a place of liberty and justice that accepts and loves them on the basis of our shared human dignity. But, we assert, without a Judeo-Christian worldview, America’s goodness is untenable and will disappear and so too will America.

Though individuals should be free to choose, it does not stand to reason that things like the accepted sociocultural norms, public life, policy, or law should be turned against those who adore and seek to emulate and propagate America’s goodness. Indeed, we also assert, America’s goodness founded on our Judeo-Christian worldview, should be favored, even though tolerance for those who beliefs and practices differ is also essential to our goodness. In other words, while law should favor the familial unit based on our Judeo-Christian moral foundations, it doesn’t have to compel all to follow such a view of family.

The fact the essence of America’s goodness, which has deep roots in marriage and the family according to thousands of years of historic Christian and Jewish orthodoxy, is being positively demonized by every major institution, public and private, is alarming. This is just one example of the woke communist war on America’s goodness. The net effect is not the advancement of the rights of those whose views on such matters are outside this historic orthodoxy, but, rather, it is the reducing of the rights of the majority to both practice their lifestyle in peace AND promote and propagate it as the BEST approach to marriage and family.

The war to defeat the woke communists and their war on America’s goodness is essentially spiritual and sociocultural, the economic and civic aspects of the the fight being important but not core. We must create and build sociocultural bonds and associations rooted in our spiritual heritage, which is the Judeo-Christian moral orthodoxy, without apology or compromise and on the basis of freewill participation.

We support any and all efforts by people to form freewill participatory associations on any basis, provided the essentials of liberty as defined by the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights are respected. But our focus and aim is on building such freewill participatory association on the basis of what we see as the foundation of America’s goodness: our historic Judeo-Christian moral and ethical orthodoxy which to us remains relevant both to our present needs and future advancement.

America’s goodness is under assault by unscrupulous purveyors of a woke communism that employs public and private institutions to micromanage your life. They, the woke communists, want to deconstruct our goodness on frivolous grounds, without of course explaining that their alternative is far, far, worse than anything our country has allegedly done in violating our standards of goodness.

No country, including ours, will perfectly fulfill its core goodness, if it has such a core, for everyone, all the time. But the woke communists desire to use the excuse of our past and present failures to live up to our goodness as an indictment of our goodness so that, instead of moving toward fulfilling our goodness for more and more people most all the time, we fulfill it less and less for almost all the people, almost all the time.

Defeating the Axis in World War Two took a massive mobilization. Defeating the Axis of woke communists today will require a similar mobilization of citizen activists who soar about the lies and build freedom together!

The relentless assault on America’s goodness by the Axis of woke communism is regressive and barbaric. Their alternative, which they refuse to candidly admit, is an atomized society of nameless, undifferentiated cogs in their machine who are told exactly how to think and act on pain of being canceled right out of existence. Such a hellscape version of tomorrowland for this country would spell the literal end of America.

Without forcing anyone to fit into our mold, but asserting our own shared rights of self-preservation and self-determination, our goal is to promote and impart America’s goodness and to work to see our true and deeper manifest destiny as a free and pluralistic society of equals become more and more fulfilled in our lives, associations, community, and our whole country.

In World War Two, our brave men and women didn’t fight the Axis powers only to watch America fall prey to the new Axis of a woke communist authoritarianism, they fought to defend and advance America’s goodness! We Freedomists will stand in that noble tradition.

Anyone who vilifies us or smears us over this or who tries to make our lives harder simply because they cannot abide us being happy as we define happiness is a totalitarian and a morally backwards, barbaric human being. Our right to be and pursue as well as proclaim and seek legal protection for a life lived by the guidance of America’s goodness should never be interfered with by any person or by any public or private entity.

Efforts to cancel people or punish people because they pursue America’s goodness are unacceptable and intolerable. Together as Freedomists who love America, we will expose the war on America’s goodness, we will defeat the war on freedom, we will peacefully overthrow the woke communists, and we will strive to find practical ways to live out our values and convictions in peace.

The Axis of woke communists and their allies in every major US institution may seem formidable and mighty, like Britain facing the Axis in June of 1940, but we will awaken the sleeping giant and then the tide on these barbarous hordes!

Please consider SUBSCRIBING to The Freedomist so we can create content and build a network of Freedomists who will fight to preserve and advance America’s goodness and defeat the woke communists and their war on freedom!

A Lack Of A VP Border Visit Isn’t The Problem

Univision’s Ilia Caldaron questioned Vice President Harris on her lack of a border visit, leading to a hostile exchange. While the exchange was tense, and much hay is being made of a it by Republicans, the real problem isn’t a lack of a border visit.

The real problem also isn’t the root causes Harris cited: problems in Latin America like the way women are treated, crime, and, not shocking to anyone, climate change. Of course, in the worldview of today’s neocommunists (neocomms) who run the Democratic Party, it’s all America’s fault. VP Harris, also a neocomm, buys into this insane, and untrue narrative that, basically, America is bad and racist and must pay to fix the world as penance for our wicked ways.

This sort of blood libel hatred against her own country disqualifies Kamela Harris from holding office. Unfortunately, neither our major institutions nor a super majority of our citizenry will dare to hold the line when it comes to allowing elected officials who in their heart basically want to undo our country and destroy everything good about it. Even a representative republic is messy as it can allow such unethical and immoral liars into office if enough votes can be garnered for them.

Our commitment to freedom for all, for liberty as defined by the original spirit and intent of the Bill of Rights, of equal opportunity, and all the other great things about our country are deconstructed by our past and present flaws and struggles. The fact we fought a massive war, the most deadly in our history, to end slavery is ignored and, instead, neocommunists like VP Harris want to act like we still hold slaves, all under MAGA banners.

Seeing that bad things and bad people in this country still exist or that we still have problems and have yet to fulfill our promise and potential as a land of freedom with liberty and justice for all doesn’t make America as a country bad or racist. Likewise, not seeing that we still have progress to make toward freedom with liberty and justice for all is an inherently un-American and dishonest thing. Fulfillment of our promise should inspire every citizen in this country with love and acceptance for EVERY FELLOW CITIZEN in this land!

The problem with the border isn’t the lack of a VP visit. She doesn’t ever need to show up there and, morally and ethically, her hatred for this country disqualifies her from any conversation about our border. Her views are that America is bad and racist, America is to blame for the rank corruption and every ill in Latin America, our border should be open, and, of course, once they are confirmed fellow neocomms, all illegals should be given the vote so the Democrats can enjoy monopoly power. Her neocomm solution is monopoly power for Democrats at the expense of the Bill of Rights.

To be blunt: everyone who carries the neocomm water about America being bad and racist, as opposed to simply acknowledging that bad and racist things and people have existed and still exist in America, is an anti-American. Anti-Americans may have a right to their views and to express them, and even to win office through the election process, but a healthy society with healthy institutions would shun them for their lies and hatred. It is just not healthy, true, honest, or ethical to speak such ill of such a good country.

We do not cover up or refuse to confront racism, discrimination, and hatred by bad people in this country. We do not deny that the journey toward absolute equality between all Americans is not finished yet. More equitable enforcement and respect of the Bill of Rights, voluntary respect for the underlying moral code of those recognized Rights by even private corporations, and a hand-up to help those who remain left behind and disadvantaged are the solution!

We do not deny that progress must be made to lift up the disadvantaged. None of these things mean America as a whole is bad: our values of freedom with liberty and justice for all are the litmus test we use to confront the bigotry and prejudice that still exists.

The fact our values stand on equal freedom with liberty and justice for all regardless of anything but citizenship makes America a good and noble country without peer! The fact we still haven’t fulfilled those values or that we can never perfectly fulfill them doesn’t make us a bad or racist country. That blood libel is a form of deconstruction to pave the way to neocomm totalitarianism and one Party rule.

Kamela Harris should resign, as should every Democrat, from the government of a country she inwardly loaths and lies about in a way that foments societal instability. Her visiting the border would not in any way do anything more than further highlight her immoral, unethical hatred for this land and its people. At root, Democrats view this land and its people as a problem of “racism” and other “phobias” that can only be solved through a monopoly of power for their Party by totalitarian means. Make no mistake, Democrats are the new communists.

America is good even though bad, and racist, people have existed and still exist and even have held, and still sometimes do, hold power. Likewise, America is good even though many neocommunist totalitarians hold too much power in government, corporations, and our major institutions.

The problem with our border is that it is open and is being exploited by criminal cartels who conduct human trafficking. The reason it is open is Democrats want voters they can import and big corporations, the new politburo of the new communism, want cheap labor. The solution would be to secure the border, not to end the ability of people to immigrate here, and to end the neocommunist stranglehold over our government, major corporations, and major institutions.

When the people in the highest positions of governmental, corporate, and institutional power inwardly hate the very country they rule and evince a design of tyranny through monopoly power for the Democratic Party, it is a major problem for that country’s very survival.

Vice President Harris is a necomm hater who is not morally qualified to hold her office, even if she is “legally” qualified. She is a person who evinces a design of totalitarian, monopoly power for her Party at the expense of every right we hold dear and everything we love about our good and noble country!

It should go without saying that the Republicans are not saints or the alternative to this necomm assault on freedom and war against America as a free country. Republicans tend to give too much power within their Party collaborationists with the Democratic Party and seat warmers whose highest aim is to enjoy the perks of office, not to confront and defeat the rise of neocomm authoritarianism in this land.

Republicans tend to act as controlled opposition, to simply mark time while soundbiting opposition they do not intend to mount, or, worse, to dismiss the root problems of extant bias and prejudice or disadvantage that feed the neocomm narrative. The Republican plan to help the poor, the disadvantaged, and victims of bigotry is “pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.” If anything feeds the neocomm lies, that America itself as a whole is bad and racist, this is it.

But if Republicans are bad for having no real solutions to real problems or for pretending opposition while simply marking time and enjoying the perks of office, Democrats are positively at war with liberty and with this country. Neocomm totalitarianism is the heart of that Party in its wanton lust for monopoly power.

We should stop demanding VP Harris or President Biden visit the border. That won’t solve anything. It will only make things worse. They will rant about how bad and racist America is and Americans are, especially those who aren’t diehard necommunist supporters of the Party.

The core beliefs and values of the present Biden-Harris Administration are neocomn, totalitarian hatred for the core values of absolutely equal freedom with libery and justice for all which are the noble heart of this country. They especially loath and want to silence every American who loves our flag and honors the whole Bill of Rights as the highest law of the land. Them visting the border to spew more blood libel against loyal Americans who love freedom would do more harm than good.

A Capitalist Response To Big Tech Market Dominance

Regal Blue Media will be launching a new niche, boutique platform, called “Upadaria”, catering to a mostly, but not exclusively, Christian audience seeking personal fulfillment of God’s potential for their lives through mutual self-reliance. This user-backed “virtual-to-local” community, we believe, is the future of the digital commons and is the proper capitalist response to fears and concerns about a few firms dominating the marketplace.

It is argued that “Big tech monopolies control the public square in terms of economic exchange and the sharing of information and public opinion.” Those who find themselves at odds with this alleged “big tech oligarchy”, it is claimed, are effectively shunned from the economy and public discourse, what they call “deplatformed.” We propose a capitalist response to what is really a case of earned market dominance by the creation of user-backed niche communities which mesh together to organically create a larger decentralized digtial ecosystem.

It is argued that if the entities that, allegedly, control economic exchange and public discourse are using their ability to control access to these things to hinder free speech in ways government, which used to control these things, cannot legally do, the net effect is not a free society. Increasingly we may be forgiven for the false impression that the accepted orthodoxy of a few people at the top of these platforms controls the discourse and shuns dissent on ideological grounds.

But it’s not necessarily what you think, it’s not so much ideological as it is good old-fashioned greed. The ideology of big tech is monopolism, which doesn’t mean they have achieved monopoly status. It is not necessarily a good response to cancel the corporations so much as to invent our way around them. Demonizing big tech and ascribing motives to them that may be fantastical and inaccurate won’t liberate the digital commons and may introduce government controls that are worse than the monopoly power big tech wields.

What some call “the big tech oligarchy” who, it is argued, seem to be determined to use their marketing position as arbiters of the digital commons (in their own best interests). This is a situation, it is feared, where economic life and public discourse are controlled in a manner that is favorable to this “oligarchy” maintaining their monopoly while disrespecting the basic dignity of the human beings they were meant to serve.

The goal isn’t ideological, it is to take and keep more market share and to shield themselves from possible competitors while keeping government at bay. This isn’t monopoly per se, people will argue whether there is a monopoly, but it is monopolism, that is, a desire to gain as close to monopoly advantages as they legally can.

There are those who debate a need for reforms meant to nuetralize this dominant market power over the digital commons. There is a desire to push back against this “oligarchy” and its perceived control over the economic life of most people and their seeming ability to literally decide the content of our public discourse.

While the narrative is that the big tech oligarchy are driven by ideology, the truth may be more complicated. There are conservatives who have used and continue to use big tech to promote themselves and there have been people on the left, especially the anti-war left, who have endured deplatforming.

Some are focused on the narrative assumption that this “big tech oligarchy” are anti-conservative zealots trying to help Democrats win. One suspects that if Republicans were more favorable to the monopolism of big tech, they would have better access to the platforms. Many, especially those who adhere to the ideological bias assumption, are focusing on using the power of the state to prohibit these platforms from moderation of their content according to the standards they deem best suited to their needs.

The danger to this approach is that such powers to dictate how private firms choose to moderate their content or who and what they desire to associate with can cut all ways, not just the way we might want it to cut.

It is problematic for many that a “big tech oligarchy” has the power to control so much economic activity and sharing of content, news, and opinion that those who do not have access to their systems are generally at a decided disadvantage in our society. The existence of such a massive marketplace dominance, many argue, is akin to a concentration of power in government, against which America’s founders crafted a Constitution that involves checks and balances and a federalist system that keeps power from concentrating at the center and the top.

Those who may argue that the monopoly powers being used by big tech are not ideologically motivated have a point. But the reality of power, others retort, is that if, say, the top 10 platforms decide to deplatform someone who has not violated the law for speech or opinions that even most people would disagree with, than that person’s right to free speech is effectively meaningless. Or so the narrative runs.

This, however, is not the goal of big tech or the greatest problem. Their goal is to have as much of the market share of advertising dollars and audience size as possible and to prevent the emergence of competition while creating a political situation in which those most favorable to them are in office. This concentration of marketplace dominance is antithetical to a free market, but having the government step in to punish “the big tech oligarchy” may itself be a worse cure than the disease.

Freedomists are not likely to be fans of big tech and its monopolistic ambition, even if monopoly itself is yet to be achieved. The issue here is centralized marketplace dominance, which goes against our instinct toward decentralization as much as possible. Our opposition is principled, not ideological. But our instinct for a capitalist response tends to go against a knee-jerk authoritarianism over the platforms, telling them how and when to moderate content, is

What is the response?

In general, the best response, we propose, is to undermine the monopoly through creating a new digital commons that is NOT simply a re-creation of alternative massive platforms but that is an interconnected mesh network of diverse autonomous and user-backed niche digital communities. Efforts to create the next mass platform will necessarily come against a system that is more sensitive to the needs of the advertisers than to the users and the irreducible complexity of creating an alternative structure that can attract a comparable audience size and advertisers.

The new approach may look more like a thousand cuts against the monopoly holders. It may be thousands of user-backed niche communities that find ways to connect to each other in a decentralized mesh.

Where government can be useful is if those who pursue monopolism go off their platforms to collude in order to prevent the market from operating freely. If banks close accounts to businesses simply because they are creating alternative digital commons structures, in collusion with big tech monopolists, this may be actionable from an anti-trust perspective.

Those banks who have ended relationships with personalities and groups whose rehtoric harms their brand through that association aren’t facing public blowback, again, because most people don’t LIKE the deplatformed personalities or groups. But if this became a general trend targeting personalities and groups who have not been overtly offensive, the legal and public relations problems would become insurmountable.

The “free speech platform” approach is problematic for a few reasons. First, it is irreducibly complex in terms of attracting a comparable audience that would be of interest to advertisers and, second, because it would cost billions to build and market. At this stage, it must still rely on an ecosystem that is more sensitive to the needs of the marketplace giants than to small would-be competitors. Finally, and overlooked, is the fact most people don’t want to be on a platform that gives space to actual Nazis or totalitarians or any of the other socially unacceptable extremes. Moreover, they don’t want vulgarity and smut, except in the adult websites they subscribe to.

The inability of these “free speech platforms” to compete even on a technical basis, they often crash, or to gain access to the digtial ecosystem to reach a mass audience is abysmal to date. By allowing some speech that is definitely beyond the pale of social acceptance, these platforms have given an easy justification to ecosystem giants, which dominate economic exchange providers (e.g. credit card companies and payment processors), domain name registrars, and hosting providers, to deplatform them. The pushback from the public against these behemoths is muted because very few people want to defend actual racists or neonazis.

The clawback of a distributed and decentralized control over the digtial ecosystem and the digital commons will take time and resources from diverse communities of people. If, however, users continue to refuse to want to pay for access and demand freebies, they are showing that the only way to thrive as a platform is through the exact approach being taken now: cater to corporate backers, treat users and their data as a commodity, and obtain market dominance.

No corporation, sensitive to the pressure of activist communities and thought leaders and to their brand, will back mass appeal alt platforms that allow things most of the public tends to feel negatively about. On the other hand, if such a community had a core of 30 million paid users who tended not to populate the platforms, advertisers would bend over backwards to reach them, regardless of branding issues.

The alternative niche communities, backed by paid subscriptions, will have the means to form their own niche ecosystems and then connect to other autonomous niche ecosystems. This doesn’t spell the end of the free user, ultimately even paid communities will tend to collect free users, even if only through a free email list.

Instead of simply deplatforming one erstwhile competitor, with easy justification based on content deemed hateful by most people, the marketplace giants would be forced to deplatform hundreds and thousands of niche communities whose ONLY “crime” is providing an alternative digtial venue. This would run afoul of antitrust laws in an obvious way, therefore it is unlikely.

Because of the backing of paid users, which could garner advertising support in the future, the ability of these niche communities to invent around the present digital ecosystem or to wage legal challenges on an anti-trust basis would grow and grow as time goes on.

The demand of some to a right to actually USE the existing platforms to attack and undermine the existing platforms is unlikely to gain public support and if it gains official support it can be used against even those invoking it.

These platforms, as “monopoly” as they aspire to be, grew through an ability to meet market demands, both free users as a commodity and the 1% of firms that spend 80% of the marketing dollars that fund these platforms. Like it or not, the functionality of these platforms when compared to their would-be competitors is far superior. In short, the “big tech oligarchy” earned its special status through excellence. Undermining its position of marketplace dominance, through free and fair competition, may require a marketplace response that isn’t merely a re-creation of mass market alternatives.

Regal Blue Media is funding, with the backing of partners, the first prototype for these niche ecosystems, one that both caters to more socially conservative Christians or people of a Judeo-Christian worldview, without allowing any kind of hate speech, bigotry, or intolerance directed at any other group of people. This will be a user-backed platform through paid subscriptions, with a free email list as the open end of its funnel, that will succeed or fail, in part, on the basis of the willingness of those who decry the “tech oligarchy” to choose to become a paying customer rather than the commodity sold to the actual customers.

The concept of a niche ecosystem is that participation is based on prior agreement to transparent common standards and to common ideals and purposes while funding is from users, as opposed to users being the commodity sold to advertisers. Our gamble, and it remains to be seen whether it is justifed, is that users will want pay for access to features and content to avoid being the commodity. The idea is that when access is free, the provider is more sensitive to those who want to “purchase” the user data and sell to them, as opposed to the users.

Quite simply, a “free to use” platform cannot actually be freedom-oriented or user-centric, it has to cater to the wants and needs of the major firms that provide over 80% of its funding.

The proliferation of these niche ecosystems, paid for by users, and their connections to one another over time, so that one might broadcast a message to many of them at the same time, will answer the complaint that we have an unhealthy monpolistic digital commons and ecosystem that is increasingly insensible to legitimate market demand.

Efforts to rein in “the big tech oligarchy” which tend toward duplication of massive alternative platforms and government regulation are essentially going in the opposite direction of what is necessary and possible. Creating multiple niche ecosystems, backed by paid subscriptions, that connect to one another is not irreducibly complex and it is simply not possible, under present law, to “deplatform” all these alternatives without facing legal consequences.

Our platform, called “Upadaria”, will not allow bigotry or hate speech, it envisioned as a user funded niche community that caters to social conservatives of a Judeo-Christian worldview in a positive and life-affirming manner, being more for something that against anything or anyone who may not fit such a profile.

What we are aiming for, partially through our own development of multiple niche communities, is the proliferation of diverse, user-backed communities connected to a free, pluralistic, and decentralized, alternative digital ecosystem and digital commons. No, in such a network, there won’t be space for the intolerant, hateful, and racist “communities” whom no other community of decent people wants to connect to.

Let the hateful and intolerant build their own things, the market won’t support them and no platform should be compelled to host them.

The “problem” isn’t ideological and it isn’t the “censorship” of actual intolerance. The main problem is a digital commons and digital ecosystem with a small group of major market leaders that cannot be sensitive to user needs and wants because their platforms aren’t user backed. But the solution is to build alternatives that are not irreducibly complex and that cater to niche communities while enabling interconnectedness among those user-backed communities through a decentralized ecosystem.

Our response is to build an alternative platform that is user backed, but definitely not welcoming of actual hatred or bigotry, and that caters to its users as a niche community based on predefined common standards and goals.
