Donald Trump is a fascist.
Let that sink in because it is, for all intents and purposes, the truth today. We could pick through the policies of Mussolini's Italy and compare them to the platform of Donald Trump's presidency, but this would be a waste of time. The sort of thing National Review ought to waste time on. In terms of the kind of reaction he receives, genuinely held and not simply a tactic for de-legitimizing his reign, he is a Fascist. America is at present a Fascist dictatorship in the mind of the left, and we must remember that in the Moden World, we are all forced to live within the mind of the left, so their delusions actually form the asylum walls. You might protest and say that they are now irrelevant precisely because of Trump's victory, but you'd be wrong, since the Cathedral is still very much intact, all be it with an annoying thorn now jabbing its side. The hysterics in the media who see fit to lie about busts being moved around and to compare speeches by a clumsy real estate mogul to those of Adolf Hitler, they feature the same hysteria seen during the so-called Women's March, and it is genuine.
Entropy is an issue we touch on somewhat regularly here, and I must point feverishly to the essay 'The Fatalism of Empires' by Bryce Laliberte, which I preserved here. He details the condensed theory of national decline espoused by Sir John Glubb, one of these being the rapid increase in societal polarization that often lies at the periphery of some catacalysm.
We can, with confidence now add yet another data point to our model of entropy in the West, and that is the descent of the left's perceptions to the point of hysteria. Some will say that the left has always been hysterical, after all were there really not blue-haired feminists decrying systemic oppression ten years ago? Of course there were. What is different today is the open embrace of what amount to low level civil war conditions. I say 'low level', because as of now there have been no serious attempts on anyone's life in the West. I stress that this change is not merely centered around Donald Trump's perculiar character, but is in fact manifest all across the Western world. Dennis Prager for aforementioned National Review dresses up his own analysis in Conservative garb, but beneath is the same sentiment that political factions have entered into a state of irreconcilability.
It did not start with the punch to the face received by Richard Spencer. No, it started in earnest on December 20th. I should state beforehand, violence has long been a feature of the left, moreso than it has been a feature of the right in the post-WWII era. The smattering of red-laced skinheads were more than compensated for by Weather Underground Marxists, Swedish red brigades, etc. We are not claiming that left wing violence is a new phenomenon. What we are claiming is that explicit endorsement of violence is now a gleefully embraced part of the Cathedral narrative. So, to return to December 20th. The day before, Andrei Karlov, the Russian ambassador to Turkey, was shot in the back by an Islamic terrorist while giving a talk at an art exhibition. The New York Daily News, which most would consider something of a mainstream outlet, saw fit to publish an article entitled "Assassination of Russian Ambassador Andrei Karlov was not terrorism, but retribution for Vladimir Putin’s war crimes". A mainstream US news outlet was applauding and encouraging political assassination.
probably one of the most disgusting articles I have ever read
Kuntzman (who is Jewish, we should get that out of the way) made the case that "justice had been served" upon the ambassador, who left behind a bereaved wife and son, by comparing the assassination to that of Ernst vom Rath, a Nazi era diplomat to France, by a Jewish student who gunned him down in cold blood in 1938. It is worth noting that at this time, Jews suffered very low levels of persecution in Germany, such as being deported to Poland. There were no mass killings to speak of whatsoever. Kristallnacht erupted in response to this murder (something that seems lost on Kuntzman).
Now, we can all probably say with absolute certainly that Gersh Kuntzman is subhuman garbage and most of us can probably think up exactly what kind of penalty he ought to receive for essentially working as an IS cheerleader. But what is important is that he made the case for political assassinations "when the victim works for Putin or Hitler". Perhaps you see where this is going.
The left considers its enemies to be Fascists, and by Kuntzman's logic, if violent action is justified against 'fascists' like Hitler or Putin, then it is most certainly justified against the left's contemporary enemies within the West itself. You want the connection? I'll let b-list actress Ashley Judd do the talking:
“I am not as nasty as a swastika painted on a Pride flag and I didn’t know devils could be resurrected, but I feel Hitler in these streets. A mustache traded for a toupee. Nazis renamed the cabinet, electric conversion therapy the new gas chamber, shaming the gay out of America, turning rainbows into suicide notes.”
it really does have to be heard to be believed
It follows logically does it not? If politically motivated violence is not only excusable but in fact noble when directed towards Fascists, and we are all of us (NRx, AltRight, AltLite, Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, whoever) Fascists... then politically motivated violence is noble if used against us.
Before, this was not a leap that anyone making up the face of the 'respectable' left would take. Bill Ayers? Sure. Major newspapers and television personalities? No. Though I'm sure most are aware of the killing of anti-fascist rapper Pavlos Fyssas in Greece back in 2013, you have probably never heard the two names; Manolis Kapelonis and Giorgos Fountoulis. Two men in their 20s, gunned down in a drive by shooting by The Fighting People's Revolutionary because they were members of Golden Dawn. For as much as Golden Dawn is hated by the media, you will struggle to find articles praising the attack. In fact, you will struggle to find articles on the attack, period. The Cathedral swept left wing violence by fringe groups under the rug before. Now the game is changing.
In the wake of Richard Spencer being sucker punched by a member of the still quite pathetic American equivalent of Antifa in DC, this assault was met with numerous articles making light of the incident, comparing it to scenes from movies where villains are knocked out cold, remixes of the video etc.
for the few retards still denying that this is happening
We have on this blog already discussed in brief the malevolent glee with which British tabloids encouraged violence, tacitly, against Millennial Woes after he was doxxed, so we need not go into that again. Hopefully by now the overview of my analysis is clear.
Hysteria has been turned up to the Nth degree precisely because of velocity increase in leftward drift, as per societal entropy. By the same method that Conservatism was rendered defunct and is no longer really a factor at the level of ideological politics, violence is now seen by the left as the only recourse against real or perceived losses, and we should note once again that the Limbaugh Theorem writ large dominates the entire left and not just any single figure. They constantly undermine themselves like Chesterton's New Rebel because they perceive themselves as never having been in power. It makes sense when one considers that Liberalism's mutagenic properties mean that its victories are constantly being turned into defeats post-facto by the next generation, or today, the next person to figure out how to further maximize their own holiness. The Overton Penumbra cast out by Liberalism, which will provide cover for 'dissenters' like George Will is now virtually impossible to keep up with. It was impossible for the present array of forces on the supposed 'right' to be seen as anything other than jackbooted Nazis, and for every tiny crossroad in history which failed to conform to the Liberal preference not to be regarded as another Guernica.
This is where we are today. Welcome to the left wing virtual reality simulator where you play Hitler and they play a revisionist re-imagining of a genderqueer Stauffenberg. What is the required response to this jolting slip down the greased slope of Kali? We'll leave that for another time.
(I must link to Millennial Woes' first official set of videos post-doxx, which capture a newfound energy, and a refreshing return to a more pensive and analytical Woes. He covers the disappearance of the political center and where polarization will lead: 1, 2, 3. I also joined P.T. Carlo for another Thermidor Podcast where we did some back and forth on the topic of catastrophe, passivism, and acceleration. It was a real pleasure)

Another episode of the Plebian Podcast, covering religious conversions in particular
And an appearance on Reactionary Ian's Christian hangout once again. Strangely UK-Centric this time around which was fun.
Food for thought..
