Voting or protesting, Americans don\u2019t just achieve nothing, they lend legitimacy to their criminal government, for it can declare to the rest of the world, \u201cSee, we are a democracy! Our citizens do vote, and they can even protest!\u201d<\/h5>\n
It\u2019s an obvious point I\u2019ve made repeatedly<\/a><\/span>, though clearly into the void, but in my last article<\/span><\/a>, I also suggested that revolution and coup d\u2019\u00e9tat are impossible in the USA, but \u201cWith guerrilla actions, [Americans] can certainly carve out liberated zones, however, so there\u2019s your glimmer of hope.\u201d<\/h5>\n
A reader responded, \u201cNo, they can\u2019t. If that were possible, it would have been done in the 80\u2019s or 90\u2019s\u2014not now or in the future, when the repression is at its heaviest. You need to let go of that fantasy.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Although I agree the American state will repress ever more barbarically, with even less an appearance of legality, Washington\u2019s reach will be greatly diminished, simply because it has wrecked the country on which its power depends.<\/h5>\n
America\u2019s economy is a staggering zombie, its infrastructure duct taped and its global prestige splattered with much innocent blood and relentless mendacity. Worse, it can\u2019t be rebuilt because it has no racial, cultural or philosophical foundation left, and even its borders are disavowed by a large chunk of its population.<\/h5>\n
\"\"<\/a>Many 21st century Americans will cringe at my listing of race as a national foundation or glue, but across the American Southwest, there are countless graffiti extolling \u201cla raza,\u201d and in \u201cCommunist\u201d Vietnam, I routinely see nationalist<\/span><\/a> or racialist billboards. Last week, I spotted a sign, \u201cVIETNAM IS ONE, VIETNAMESE ARE ONE.\u201d Ho Chi Minh declared this in 1963, meaning North and South Vietnam should be united, but here, now, it means all the ethnic tribes, some only recently conquered, should see themselves as Vietnamese.<\/h5>\n
There\u2019s always violence in assimilation, and you can\u2019t have unity without conformity. With 54 ethnicities, Vietnam is also multicultural, like most other societies, but the Vietnamese are securely dominant numerically, thus culturally, and they\u2019re not going to let this leverage be challenged or diluted.<\/h5>\n
Although Kurds, Armenians, Kazakhs or Chams, etc., may be invaded, massacred, evicted or scattered, they can reclaim or reconstitute their nation even centuries later, as long as they\u2019ve retained enough of their core identity, which is primarily based on their practically hermetic language. Unlike English, it\u2019s not a much corrupted whore. I\u2019m messing with her right now.<\/h5>\n
In the US, the argument for open border is not just impractical, but confused. In \u201cAbolish Borders as Revolutionary Futurity,\u201d Carlos Jackson argues, \u201cFor decades, the idea of border abolition and \u2018sin fronteras\u2019 was a utopian speculation, yet now it is becoming a necessary response to the fascist turn in U.S. domestic policy. On February 22, 2017, Guadalupe Olives Valencia committed suicide moments after being deported back to Mexico. National and international news outlets covered the suicide, and its coincidence with the U.S. President\u2019s initiation of a mass militarized deportation effort. Valencia\u2019s suicide reminded me of Walter Benjamin\u2019s\u2014a German Jewish Marxist philosopher and member of the Frankfurt School, who in 1940 committed suicide rather than be repatriated to Nazi controlled France.\u201d<\/h5>\n
So Benjamin committed suicide because he could not escape Fascism, but Valencia killed himself because he could not flee to Fascism.<\/h5>\n
It\u2019s telling that Jackson cites Benjamin\u2019s Jewishness, Marxism and membership in the Frankfurt School, all key factors to open border advocacy in white countries.<\/h5>\n
\"\"<\/a>Decomposed, America has but one rallying symbol, its flag, but that I can find even on the thin asses of teenage girls in my buttfuck town, Ea Kly<\/a><\/span>! It\u2019s true they have a more positive view of America than just about all its citizens. Though they know nothing about American history, heritage or geography, they can\u2019t help but be mesmerized by the money tossing, twerking and grinding America that constantly streams into their consciousness.<\/h5>\n
With its unprecedented heterogeneity, nearly a quarter of its population enslaved and its indigenous massacred or chased across the continent, the United States was a tenuous proposition right from the beginning, but with its tremendous wealth, much of it gained through imperial plunder and blackmail, it has kept enough of its citizens fat and happy. Once this racket unwinds, the nation\u2019s done, and don\u2019t expect Uncle Sam to ever rise from his coffin.<\/h5>\n
But how will he go into that good night? Dmitri Orlov lists the five stages of collapse as financial, commercial, political, social and cultural, with the rot abetting each happening simultaneously.<\/h5>\n
With full social collapse, \u201cSociety fragments into extended families and small tribes of a dozen or so families, who find it advantageous to band together for mutual support and defense. This is the form of society that has existed over some 98.5% of humanity\u2019s existence as a biological species, and can be said to be the bedrock of human existence.\u201d<\/h5>\n
Though that may sound dandy to some, most Americans wouldn\u2019t want to slip that far. To avoid this, they must arrest their collapse at the political stage, as the federal government loses its mandate and power. Orlov, \u201cThis is the age of Big Men: charismatic leaders, rabble-rousers, ruthless Macchiavelian princes and war lords. In the luckier places, they find it to their common advantage to pool their resources and amalgamate into some sort of legitimate local government, while in the rest their jostling for power leads to a spiral of conflict and open war.\u201d At best, then, they must work together to establish local order and democracy. That\u2019s a tall order.<\/h5>\n
What about the immediate future, as in the next twenty years? America\u2019s demolitionists will be long gone, with the remaining affluent retreating into walled communities, to be guarded by well-armed goons. Their servants will dwell in slums even more menacing than today\u2019s.<\/h5>\n
All will fondly remember this era, for we\u2019re not just living through peak oil, but peak food, travel, porn, beer, books, canned music and population, etc. Roasting mutant sparrows over an open fire, kids will listen to a bent, toothless man recount his childhood visit to the great city of Detroit or Gary, Indiana, circa 2000.<\/h5>\n
Raving, he will barf up tales that must be lies, they\u2019re so unbelievable, \u201cThere was a peachy faced Jewish princess who expertly blew a burger clown inside the Whitey House, but juking impeachment, this man became a season ticket holder at a Caribbean theme park, where there was only one kiddie ride! Each sunset, there\u2019s a raw parade of naked orphans sashaying down Main Street.\u201d The fossilized fart hacks up some red, white and blue phlegm. \u201cBill, that\u2019s his name, never got tired of his Jewish treat!\u201d<\/h5>\n
\u201cDid he have a wife, grandpa?\u201d<\/h5>\n
\u201cYes, and she was worshipped by all the bulldykes of this land, because she stood by her young pussy loving man.\u201d<\/h5>\n
\u201cThat doesn\u2019t make sense, grandpa.\u201d<\/h5>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t know nothing.\u201d Then, with his voice trailing off, \u201cBy and by, the buy and buy went bye bye\u2026\u201d<\/h5>\n
