Not totally on topic: Why “TV” isn’t what we remember.

-
Image
Part of television 40 or 50 years ago was having to pick between alternatives. Not just different shows, but whether we were going to watch the show or do something else. VCR’s allowed some time shifting, but there was still a certain coordination needed. The more options we’ve gotten, the less special everything is become. I knew a young lady who due to circumstances basically just sat around her house all day, watching movies on the various platforms. She didn’t really have to be selective. She would see it and click it. Even allowing for the fact that most of us don’t have the time she did, it still seems like we can get everything we want. And like Larry the Cable Guy said in Witless Protection, when you can have everything, nothing means anything. On the other hand, we’ve also become more selective. Whereas back in the days when we only had three channels, we would easily accept a lesser of three evils. I would watch things back then that today I would just scroll right past. “TV”...

ESSENTIAL Freitas video: “Churchill, Franco, and Rhodesia: Rethinking the Villains and Heroes of History.”

-
Image
This is from about 10 months ago. Hopefully he has learned a little bit more,, along with his wife, but he is definitely on track. Still supports Churchill. Having trouble with moral equivalencies regarding Franco. Actually, coming around mildly on Rhodesia, but having trouble understanding colonization. He needs to talk to Matt Walsh. Comments: 1:58:00 or so .  Toward the end, the lady heads toward the ultimate self guilt. She says we are not as good as we think because we are becoming dominated by people who think we are not as good as we thinkwe are. She’s blaming us for the actions and policies implemented by people who are in fact our enemies. — Objective truth should always be the goal. That said… if you’re going to have to accept bias, accept bias in favor of your own side. — The thing about principles is that if they caused you to lose an existential fight, there was something wrong with those principles. https://youtu.be/0kfYQNcoVVU?si=ICQ1kAuvCjCXPZ1E

Useful videos on fall of Rhodesia (MUSIC VIDEO ADDED).

“ Balanced“ because it avoids saying what everybody knows.  “The fall of Rhodesia: a warning to the West.” https://youtu.be/Aj3p3lJP8Q0?si=PGM3OEBiGS0H7Uu8 “Tighter” because it does at least mention what everybody knows. “The real TRUTH about Rhodesia.” https://youtu.be/5-ksXuJevbc?si=HBkEEWw16KfzsJkY MUSIC VIDEO ADDED.  Tragic how it turned out, but one day Made this song again speak reality.

Nick Freitas video: “Here is how the next civil war will start.”

MY COMMENT: “   Why must it wait for the bad guys to take power? Alternatively, while the Patriots are still in power, the loyal states and the federal government could initiate takeovers states resisting proper federal power, such as Minnesota. Reagan talked about how if there was going to be a bloodbath, it is better to have it sooner than later.  It would still be state against state. The loyal states would have to be participants for a number of reasons. CD ff

lots of un-PC stuff — Nick Freitas video: “Trump wins no one is talking about.”

-

A little over an hour, but worth it. Runs directly counter to the “blackpilling” gaining traction on the Right. It’s a rejection of purism. I write about this many times in my Daily Fudd series. A few notable points: - Circa 47:00 — Recognizes coming civil war will be state based . - Circa 48:00 — Recognizes purism as “virtue signaling.” - Circa 48:40 — Actually uses the term “Rhodesia.“😀 - Circa 50:00 — Excellent perspective on the “War on Drugs.” I acknowledge it may be a bit too conciliatory toward the potheads and libertarians – but I repeat myself. - Circa 59:00 — Problem with his “save the country in one generation” idea is that sins and problems linger through generations.  - Circa 1:04:40 — Guest argues against “accelerationism” — the idea of letting or making things get bad faster, and hopefully cause a reaction — citing Rhodesia as a case study of what happens. - 1:05:14 — Takes on an ultimate self-focused, shortsighted Teabrainer , Though I suspect it may have been a m...

Possible song (adapted) for the Patriot side in the coming civil war? Plus my loose prediction about how it will pan out.

-

Prediction first: I remain convinced that the coming civil war in America will be more geographical than some supposed thinkers think. Three levels: Red state vs Blue state with a number of Red states initially attempting to stay neutral. Split states — those which go one way nationally, but oddly have the other side governing at state level — will probably go the way of the state government. Red states will have Blue pockets, mostly urban, which will be isolated. Key locations, such as memorials and industrial facilities, will be seized by the state. Blue states will struggle with Red rural areas – upstate New York and downstate Illinois being prime examples — leading to county secessions to some degree and formality or another to bordering Red states. This will greatly redraw the map of the war. Small enclaves opposed to the side dominating their area. More than citadels or Mount Carmels, but often less than counties. Yet with a certain geographical definition.  Private vigilante...
