Western societies are being talked into abandoning the principles that made them free, prosperous, and governed by equal rights under the law.
Some of the attacks come from useful idiots who owe everything to the systems they despise. Others come from quieter operators, domestic and foreign, who understand precisely what they’re dismantling.
Naming the patterns, with receipts, was overdue. That’s this account.
Some Silicon Valley tech people are shocked the Democrats they backed are serious about freezing AI infrastructure.
The basic mistake was thinking they want America to succeed, or that ideology doesn’t prevent them from grasping what actually drives prosperity. Many, like the DSA, appear more focused on opposing American power than on the foundations of growth.
To paraphrase Bossuet: God laughs at those who lament the effects while cherishing the causes.
In June 2014, ISIS took Mosul in part through propaganda that made them look like they already controlled the city. A small force created the perception of control and inevitability, and the larger Iraqi army largely collapsed under that perception. That’s the DSA strategy with Democrats: act as if they already own the party and speak for the base so everyone else assumes resistance is pointless. Don’t let the perception become reality.
Macron: "this is the first time there has been a terrorist act planned to kill our compatriots because of their religion", meanwhile:

Macron says that today’s shooting in Trappes was aimed at migrants and the first terror attack in French history against a group of people targeted because of their skin and religion.
He is naturally lying as there have been several such Islamist attacks in France in recent years which were carried out against Jews or Christians.
- 2012, Mohammed Merah attacks a Jewish school in Toulouse and murders a rabbi and 3 kids
- 2015, Amedy Coulibaly murders 4 Jews at the Hypercacher kosher supermarket in Paris
- 2016, Adel Kermiche and Abdel Malik Petitjean storm a church in Normandy and murder the 85-year-old priest Jacques Hamel, by slitting his throat, and also critically wound an 86-year-old man.
2020, Brahim Aouissaoui storms a Catholic basilica in Nice and stabs 3 people to death.
Macron stated today:
“What happened today is a turning point. It is the first time there has been a terrorist act planned to kill our compatriots, our children, because of the color of their skin or their religion”
