Ever since the deep-set organization and by-the-numbers programming to the circus in Minneapolis came out, people on the right have been blackpilling.
Well, you know my opinion on black pills. It’s two fold: You know exactly where it’s been, and nothing that’s been THERE belongs in your mouth. AND even if it all were lost, what could you accomplish by getting people to despair and give up? This last is why people in a war shoot those spreading fear and despondency, even if what they are seeing is right. Because Blackpill fights on the side of the enemy. And while you could argue someone like the Red Baron coming out with his certainty the war was lost before his death might have saved death and destruction (maybe) in our case that is never true. There is no surrender to communists. Communists are as my friend Eric S. Raymond reminded everyone on twitter recently, Hostis Humanis Generis, and therefore the only surrender they accept is death. Well, f*ck them very much. I was never going to go quietly and without making sure I took an escort with me to hell. Even if they were fated to win, I’d fight them for every inch, every breath, every micron of mind space, in hopes of planting a seed of freedom for future generations.
However the bizarre thing about all this doom and gloom is that THEY AREN’T WINNING. The situation is very far from hopeless, very far from lost, and in fact, barring our complete and abject surrender to a panicking foe, we will win this and send communism to the ash heap of history with its cousin, fascism. And that even if they manage to win you can count their victory in maybe years. Maybe. My guess is less than four, because four is all they managed before, and even then they couldn’t implement all their dreams. Or most of them.
This is important. They need all the organization to give the impression of support they don’t have; to push an image of an ideological upswelling that simply isn’t there. They need organization and financing, because THEY AREN’T WINNING.
Yesterday one of you, reading the post on carefully orchestrated demonstrations and protests got it into his head that the demonstration in which I found myself at sixteen facing machine guns was equally organized. Snort. Giggle. It was organized like the Tea Parties were “organized.” A friend told a friend told a friend. I say we had a phone tree, but the truth is we used phones as little as possible as we were convinced that our phones were tapped. (Were they? Who knows? Ours was. I know the tell-tale sound in a mechanical system. But then mom ran a pirate radio station, so what do you expect?) SOMEONE printed banners. At a guess someone who happened to own a print shop. But they were such novices at the business, they didn’t punch holes in the fabric, so in the normal mizzle and wind of Northern Portugal (if you read of Wellington’s campaigns you know what I’m talking about) holding that banner (half of it) about broke my arm. And the rain fell down the pole and down the sleeve of my anorak. (Anorhank, a symbol of holy abstinence, according to Pratchett and boy was he right.) There were very few banners. I think three in an immense crowd. And I happened to grab the end of that one as the previous kid holding it (It was specifically about youth) got tired of almost breaking her arm.
For display no one would pick me. I wasn’t a pretty kid, and in the anorak you couldn’t tell if I was a boy or a girl. And anyway, it was all organic and …. disorganized. I won’t say the right in Portugal are exactly individualists (they’re not) but they are individualist enough to fail to organize.
But that disorganization, those thousands upon thousands of silent people walking across town. (Had to be silent. We didn’t have a protest permit. But they couldn’t stop people just happening to walk together) brought down a government that thought it was on its way to full control.
In the same way, the tea parties while they couldn’t completely curb Obama unnerved him enough to stop a lot of the worst overreaches he would have attempted. And they BAFFLED the left, because they were what the left was trying to achieve with Occupy Wall Street.
They started Occupy Wall Street in the serene belief that all they had to do was astroturf the beginning and then the people would rise up and support them. But despite a compliant media reporting it that way, and swelling the movement in image they never achieved more than “boomers with oxygen tanks and mentally ill homeless pooping on cars.” And then the Tea Party came out of nowhere and blindsided them.
They look at us, and wonder how we’re organizing on the quiet. Hence the insane search for “dogwhistles.” Which make no sense because what moves us is not what they attribute to us anyway. And we look at their organization, know we can’t do that and think all is lost.
We don’t need to do that. We have reality and the fact we’re not trying to hurt people and take their stuff.
Look, the left largely hid what a shitshow places like Russia were by the time the Soviet Union collapsed. And they are very much in denial of what a soft, decaying shitshow Europe is for that matter. But the last four years of the Bidentia showed people what the left wants to do to them, personally.
Ignore pollsters. Ignore the media making big scary noises. The left is — to quote one of their own — a paper tiger. They have nothing, or nothing people want. And most people now know it. Unless people are very well off and willing to buy into boutique causes at the cost of sky high groceries and transport and no employment, the left has nothing for us.
Movements that are winning don’t work so hard at keeping illegals here and voting. Movements that are winning don’t work so hard at keeping illegals who have committed CRIMES here and voting. Movements that are winning don’t work so hard just to cause turmoil in ONE city.
More importantly movements that are winning don’t need a carefully choreographed danced to present a frong that makes them seem like many.
Stand down. Take a deep breath.
No, we won’t win tomorrow. Or the day after. For too long we let leftist bullshit infect our education, our arts, our media. Perhaps “let” is the wrong term. They were top down systems and once taken over we could do nothing against them. But they had them for decades, and we’ll suffer the results of that for decades yet. However, things will be improving all the while. Yes, there will be setbacks and we’ll lose very good people (salutes Charlie Kirk) but in the end we win, they lose.
Look, you blackpillers think that I’m counter-black-pill because I don’t see what you do. You’re so wrong you’re not even on the map. I see what you do. What’s more, I’ve been seeing it since I’ve been aware of politics, which is now close on to fifty years. (What can I say? Mom was political to her fingertips, and a force of nature besides, and if she’d been born in a civilized country, she’d probably have shaken the world.)
My time of despair was somewhere in the seventies when the left’s deadlock on media, government AND academia was iron clad and when I despaired of being able to topple it. But even then I refused to stop and I refused to shut up. Because no. Because I read Heinlein and I knew the Lieutenant wouldn’t like THAT.
But yeah, that was the time all the protest babes were on the left. They still organized. They do it naturally, I swear, but it wasn’t AS orchestrated and choreographed as now. They had more useful idiots. They could always get a PREGNANT martyr when needed.
Now? Now they are at very thin on the ground martyrs. They have to buff up those they have. They have to pay their protesters who aren’t extremely and glaringly mentally ill.
What did them in? Losing the lock on communication. Having people see the man behind the curtain, the sneering disdain for humans behind the leftist cry for the plight of “workers.”
And lest we forget Limbaugh started this. That is not a sign of strength for the left. One man, in an outmodded form of communication was the beginning of their doom.
How much more can you do today with better communication?
Yes, they’ll become louder, and more choreographed, and yes, alas, more lethal the less in control they are. That’s the bad part we have to go through. And we’re going to lose a lot of good people. And yes, we’ll lose some battles, too.
But think about it, with all their resources, they orchestrated the election of the corpse. They locked the entire country down. They surrounded DC in barbed wire. They’d won. They were in charge.
And now they’re a rump movement causing trouble in one city and even that mostly for the cameras.
The desperate effort they managed in 2020 is now out of reach. Can they fraud 2026? Probably. BUT IT’S NOT WRITTEN IN STONE.
The media lies. Polls are a tool. You’re not alone. None of us is. We are the VAST, overwhelming majority.
And things are going our way. Slowly but inexorably, we win, they lose.
Be not afraid.

“Ignore pollsters. Ignore the media making big scary noises. The left is — to quote one of their own — a paper tiger. They have nothing, or nothing people want.”
Well, lying to pollsters is a rather enjoyable pastime. Himself knows I do it for the funsies, chances are better than magic 8-ball good that others do too. And the madia (they’re mad all the time), well, they’ve long lost the plot on “just the facts,” are hardly the middle ground, and haven’t got a scintilla of the reach they once had. Independent media is the only one worth really bothering with, as those usually have on the ground and in person folks that use their eyeballs and ears to witness what went on without feeding it twice through the Commie filter in their heads.
What they left has is cultish psychological manipulation, corruption, and the distribution of bread and circuses. That latter has been sharply reduced of late, and may that reduction only continue! While there will always be those highly susceptible to the former and a few that desire the middle bit, the corruption creates want and the bread and circuses create dependency.
Black pillers, some of them are organic. But I’d bet you a tomato chicken sandwich that there’s more than a few plants in there, under orders to create wedges. “Repub’s got to lose the midterm, look at all the ebul stuff they’re doing now that ain’t conservative! Vote them out so they learn their lessons!” I’ve seen it. Meh.
I’m quite certain that the R party has its share of cotton headed fools. So? The evil party is worse. The stupid party is, at least, occasionally educable when the primaries start throwing down. Give me an Orange party that goes full bore, MAGA to its bones! Make that the new face of Republicanism. America first, America strong, America the beautiful and the strange. Gimme capitalism and a strong military, rule of law and less regulations. Dump the parasitic lobby issues and receive the support of the people.
Will it happen? Himself knows there are idiots out there that could cock up a wet dream, but we’ve got to be for something rather than just against stupidity (nothing wrong with that, mind). Might as well shoot for the stars. I hear there’s going to be a Lunar economy going sometime in the next few years. Who knows? The future ain’t set in stone.

When you lie to polls, you dishearten the Right and depress turnout.
This is the problem of before vs after viewing of statistics. When you see polls predicting a left wing victory, and then the Right wins after all, you feel grateful that people lied to polls. When you try to apply that to future races, you start off thinking “lying to polls wins elections”! Then you create a sense of despondency that results in a left wing victory.
Had you been honest with the polls, we could have banked that race under “certain wins,” and focused on closer races.

Do not even have to lie to the polls. The polls twist the truth. Best response? Click. If approached in person? Walk away. No response, is the best response.

I’ve noted a couple of old friends from college–not screaming leftists, I don’t think, but rather people not really paying attention and liable to believe what the media (or other, definitely lefty friends) are telling them who are DEEPLY upset at the “modern day Gestapo.” (which isn’t the black pill, but a different and more frustrating beast)
For my own sanity, I’ve stopped trying to get them to see reason. (And one of them has four or five kids and is dealing with one suddenly developing very serious health issues, so I’m cutting her some slack for the whole “failing to pay attention” thing, and neither of us needs the additional stress that comes with an argument.)
I think the saner ones will realize that isn’t what’s happening when things continue to improve. If I see folks who are starting to accept the black pill, I remind them that we’re seeing the death throes of a cult. Yes, they are still HELLISHLY dangerous and capable of doing a lot of damage on their way down (and likely will do a fair amount), but that they are acting like this BECAUSE their cult is failing.

Excellent post, they are desperate and they’re losing ground with the bulk of the populace.

On the one hand I see people who know better calling for “compromise” (reform, some kind of amnesty, whatever) and I shake my head and wonder whether we’ll actually defeat the Shadow: even temporarily, because I know human nature and I know it the Shadow will return sometime in some form; I don’t think it’s quite a black pill but it annoys me no end.
On the other, I see the increasingly shrill and desperate outbursts from the left and their paid meat puppets (today’s performers: Giancarlo Esposito and Molly Ringwald) and I realize that they know their Glorious Future is written on water.
The left have fallen back to Spanish Man’s Grave,*, sure that their Medicine will protect them as it “always” has. If those who oppose them will but be resolutely determined to show them their Magic is no good any more, that their Father Below likewise has no further use for them, they can be taught a lesson in civilized manners they will not soon forget.
*An absolute must-read story by James Warner Bellah, “Spanish Man’s Grave” can be found in Volume 1 of There Will Be War along with many other great stories. Among other works, Bellah is the writer of the “Cavalry Trilogy;” in fact, Lt. Pennell and Sgt. Tyree appear in “Spanish Man’s Grave.”

The black pillers make me laugh. Seriously. There is absolutely nothing serious about what the few radicals on the left are doing, because all they have to support their cause is dunderheaded idjits like Pretti Good. They make a lot of noise, they get a bunch of themselves arrested and a few of themselves shot and think they’re martyrs (until the truth comes out, which happens in hours or days if it takes that long, because we have X now).
