This post is punting. I'm referring to other people's content, and stringing it together to create my own narrative, although not one that's at all incompatible with what any of the other people who's content I'm referring to would say. First, let me quote some of the Z-man's post from today:
For a long time, the phrase “13-do-50” has turned up in conversations about crime because it is something of a universal truth. Both numbers are a shorthand and not precise, but everyone gets the deeper meaning. A more accurate statement would be something like “6-do-50” or “3-do-30” but convenient shorthand works because it does not get too deep in the weeds. In this case, the “13-do-50” phrase speaks to the demographic reality behind the numbers.
We could also use a similar phrase for the people behind the cultural mayhem that has racked American society. About 20% of white people in America self-identify as left-wing, liberal or Progressive. This has held up over generations. It is this group that is responsible of 100% of the stress in society. They are always behind whatever is causing cultural chaos. The phase “20-do-100” does not roll off the tongue like the other expression, but it captures reality.
Think about it. If we rounded up these people and shipped them to Africa, even on a one-for-one swap, America would look like Switzerland. The remaining white people would junk all of the nutty cultural rules. Politically, the center would move so far to the right that Ted Cruz would be the Bernie Sanders of Congress. America’s crime problem would be solved with free associations and healthy intolerance. The mass media would shrivel up to a local news service.
Granted, some people would wriggle through the net. No doubt this mind virus would find some new hosts in the remnant population. Nothing is perfect but if the manifestations of this disease come to be treated like leprosy, the new hosts would simply be deported as soon as they reveal themselves. A society organized around opposition to post-Marx culturalism would not be perfect, but it would be stable and as a result, able to defend itself from this plague.
Such a plan is easier said than done. Deporting forty-five million people is no small task, but we take in about two million a year officially. Another two million come in illegally, so with some planning, we could probably deport ten million a year. Many would flee on their own making the task easier. On the other hand, there would be people who showed sympathy for these people. This has always been the weakness the 20%ers have exploited. They turn virtue into vice.
Of course, the first step in such a scheme is getting the 80% or at least a critical mass of them, to accept that there can be no compromise with the 20%ers. For reasons that are no longer worth exploring, these people are beyond the reach of reason so there is no point in trying to reason with them. They are simply a menace to society that must be removed in order to save the whole. The road back from the brink begins with the complete anathematization of the 20%er.
If that seems harsh, I encourage you to look to the scriptures for confirmation that that's the only way to save the remainder; get rid of the part that poisons the well for everyone. It happens over and over and over again in the Old Testament, in the Book of Mormon, and elsewhere. God didn't say to just love Sodom & Gomorrah and accept them. Alma (or Mormon, whomever wrote this particular commentary) didn't lament the ignominious end of Korihor. In fact, he said that that was the inevitable end of those who follow Satan. And it claims numerous times that the Nephites only had peace when "the more wicked part of the people were destroyed".
However, I think the Z-man is not entirely correct, or rather, I think even his 20% number is inflated. Most of that 20% is just crowd-following, sheep-like virtue-signaling because of their perception of where the crowd actually is. Either that, or their nakedly mercenary Fake Americans who see wokeness as the key to their scam of the American people.
Why is it that corporations are so woke? Why have ads stopped trying to sell us stuff, and instead either lecture, hector, or preach to us about how terrible American-ness, Christianity, whiteness, order, and righteousness is?
Believe it or not, much of that can be attributed to one single man.
Now, I'm going to post two YouTube videos. They're a bit long, and they also talk about a lot of other things, much of it to establish context. I think you'll agree that they paint a compelling narrative of what's going on. I've heard of BlackRock, of course, but mostly only in the sense that they're buying up housing and keeping normal people from owning homes. The reality is that that's only the tip of the iceberg in how they're ruining the American Dream and destroying America and more. Now, the guy who posts these videos is a bit of a clickbaiter in some ways. He claims that about a dozen companies are "the worst business in the world" and obviously that isn't true. In BlackRock's case, it might well be, though.
I actually saw this second one first, and although it's really more about something else; the rise and fall of Netflix, the punchline is that it's BlackRock and the chasing of the ESG rating that caused Netflix to crumble. It's an open question whether some probably too little too late actual leadership and lack of cowardice at Netflix's top officers spots will be enough to salvage anything from it, but it shows why so many other corporations are doing the exact same thing.
The reality is, although people love to say "get woke, go broke" it's only been in the last couple of months that we've seen anyone actually go broke for getting woke. Even huge flops in the theatre, for example, haven't broken any companies, or even the careers of those who made them. The woke largely seem to have been immune from the consequences of being woke. The costs were dispersed, largely to normal people like you and me who maybe invested in these companies as hidden parts of our portfolios of investments. It was only until a bit of leadership by people like DeSantis, as well as grotesque over-reach by Disney and Netflix actually made the first actual brokeness from wokeness start to happen. Time will tell. The American people have been far too complacent for far too long, and I'm not sure that there's any recovery from where we are either.
19 For the kingdom of the devil must shake, and they which belong to it must needs be stirred up unto repentance, or the devil will grasp them with his everlasting chains, and they be stirred up to anger, and perish;
20 For behold, at that day shall he rage in the hearts of the children of men, and stir them up to anger against that which is good.
21 And others will he pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well—and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell.
22 And behold, others he flattereth away, and telleth them there is no hell; and he saith unto them: I am no devil, for there is none—and thus he whispereth in their ears, until he grasps them with his awful chains, from whence there is no deliverance.
23 Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell; and death, and hell, and the devil, and all that have been seized therewith must stand before the throne of God, and be judged according to their works, from whence they must go into the place prepared for them, even a lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.
24 Therefore, wo be unto him that is at ease in Zion!
25 Wo be unto him that crieth: All is well!
26 Yea, wo be unto him that hearkeneth unto the precepts of men, and denieth the power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost!
Anyway, the Netflix video. I'm going to go watch some more on this channel about how terrible Meta, Twitter, TikTok and more are. Not that I don't already know, but... y'know.
I know lots of people have advocated for ditching Netflix because of their evil. I'm actually... and I'm a little surprised myself to say this, suggesting the opposite. That already happened. That message was received by the leadership at Netflix, and they're making desperate although smart decisions to fight the tide and get back on track. Now is the time to support those corporate leaders who are a bit braver than their colleagues and show them that this course correction and abandonment of the evil of the ESG will be rewarded.
Not sure how to do the same for Bob Chapek. I think the structural problems at Disney are still too entrenched and they have to lose more before they're ready to show some wisdom and courage to stand up to BlackRock and its forces of woke lunatics.
