You still don't know what you're up against

I told myself I would stay away but apparently I have one more thing to say. Things have gotten way stupider with me gone so I feel the need to weigh in this one time.

Moldbug's entire strategy proceeds from the flawed assumption that decentralized governance would never work for the right wing. This is because he has no actual experience with government. Dude has literally never been to a city council meeting. 

I keep harping on city council meetings, I keep saying that you should go to them. Local government seems like the most useless thing, right? Why would you sit in the galley and watch these tedious proceedings? And yet a person can never really know a thing until they have some hands-on experience with it. An architect who has never laid a brick is not a real architect and the academic architect is always the one that produces garbage modernism. Old cathedrals are beautiful because they were designed by stonemasons who touched every single stone that went into the building. When you can touch a stone, carve a stone, and place a stone with your hands, it affects how you see architecture in ways that sitting in front of a computer aided drafting interface never could. Even the most basic experience with local civics is better than nothing. You can just go into State houses and sit in the galley watching the proceedings, you can just see how the sausage is made, no one can stop you, at least not yet.

The vice president is taking his advice from a man who never even sat in the galley. Unlike Moldbug I have real government experience.

Getting back to decentralized governance. Government is divided between two groups: lunatic activists and grifters. At the local level the grifter side is composed of real estate developers and construction companies that receive government contracts to build roads and stuff. The other side of the local level are crazy activists who show up to every city council meeting and push for communist policies. These guys also have a homeless grift since they are embedded with "nonprofits" that generate jobs in the homeless industrial complex. The activist will show up for everything no matter how tedious. The right wing grifters will only show up for money. This asymmetry is why the right wing loses and not the decentralized nature of the situation.

The only reason the government is not complete lunacy is monetary influence. Watching the two groups try to dominate my city government I quickly came to realize the developers are far less harmful. The activist would turn the entire city into a homeless pile of garbage and needles it they could.

To get right wingers to show up there has to be money. To get right wingers to do activist things, or the sorts of things that neutralize left-wing activists, you need privateers. There has to be money involved to get the right wing to do anything at all.

The definition of a privateer is basically a pirate who has been given official endorsement by a government to seize foreign vessels. (As a side note this is how you deal with Chinese fishing boats invading our waters). I am going to be using the word privateer in a much more expansive definition that includes mercenaries, private deportation agents, bounty hunters, thugs who crack the skulls of lunatic activists, and even the existing police. Really anyone that gets paid to attack gay race commies, and I do mean attack, as in lawful or pseudo lawful violence. Privateers can also include the lawyers that make their money suing companies for failing to follow DEI policies. These lawyers are currently left wing but as the situation at the University of Oklahoma shows they can become right wing. Since discrimination on the basis of political viewpoint is now illegal it is possible for the right wing to use DEI to harass the left. If the list of protected categories (discrimination prohibited on the basis of race, religion, sex, gender, veteran status, political belief, pregnancy) was changed (oh say prohibited on the basis of Christian belief, Caucasian descent, white male descent, veteran status, stay at home motherhood, or conservative political belief) the entire DEI apparatus could be weaponized as a lawyer-based privateer against the left. I believe I have said this on Twitter but nobody seems to care.

Privateers are a sustainable form of right-wing activism because, (a) government is ruled by monetary donations, (b) privateers will give donations to keep their jobs, and (c) the combination of the two will cement an industry that works tirelessly against the activists, and (d) the very nature of a privateer repels left wing personalities. 

The only thing that sustains itself in government (is sustainable) is that which gives money to the government and then receives power from the government. Without a cycle of money and power nothing is sustained. The left has a collection of cycles of money and power while the right only has cycles of money and money. Meaning: the left gets power from the government and gives money to the government through left wing billionaires. The right typically gives money to the government and then receives money from the government (through contracts and defense spending). The left also receives money from the government (through welfare spending). Basically, you have to destroy all their cycles of money and power and build up your own cycles of money and power. 

Here are some of their cycles: 

Money for somalis in exchange for votes 

Money for latinos in exchange for votes

Salaries for college professors in exchange for indoctrinating students 

Salaries for teachers in exchange for indoctrination

Donations from lawyers in exchange for money/power to DEI lawyers to harass people 

Salaries for activists in exchange for activism (See USAID)

Salaries for spooks in exchange for color revolutions 

Salaries for experts in exchange for bogus science

Private donations to leftists in exchange for prestige

The right wing needs to conduct a deep survey of all cycles of left-wing money and power, identify those cycles, and pass laws and executive orders to destroy them. The right wing then needs to construct its own cycles of money and power. This is how you entrench yourself beyond a single election.

People think the entire reason that immigration occurs is because of ZOG who hate you, and that is somewhat true, but there is also a tremendous amount of institutional inertia and governments are shockingly unwilling to repeal stupid and corrupt laws. This is because politicians are generally uncreative and dull people, but also because the existing collection of cycles entrench themselves and resist repeal. 

Power is destroying the cycles of your enemy and building up your own. These cycles will outlast you, they will outlast your administration, they will even last for centuries after you are dead. Right now there is a huge cycle of money and power that profits from bringing foreigners into the United States. You need to build up a huge cycle of money and power for deporting those same foreigners. You need a giant industry of privateers. The shape of power is its cycles, and you alter that shape by altering those cycles. Contrary to what you may think a lot of the people involved are much more cognitively flexible than you would imagine and will change allegiances and go wherever the money is so if deporting a somali is now profitable and giving him free legal aid is not profitable and lands you in jail they will switch allegiances. Anyone whose sociopathic enough to destroy their country is generally sociopathic enough to deport immigrants. Most of these people are sellouts whose values are an after the fact justification for selling their souls. They go wherever the highest bidder makes them go so become the only bidder and destroy all competing bidders.

The right wing thinks that it can challenge power by electing inexperienced businessmen to run things. This then gives you an inexperienced politician who spends the first few years of his administration simply figuring out how to ride the proverbial horse. Meanwhile the activists have been going to every single city council meeting and sitting in the galley of every state house watching the proceedings and gaining understanding of its machinations. The right wingers only show up when they want their contracts renewed or the police budget increased — only when there's money on the line. In fact as soon as they get their business completed they almost run out of the room. I have seen developers walk out of council chambers the absolute instant the vote ruled in their favor — so eager are they to leave, so uncomfortable are they with power. This naturally gives the left a lot more experience with power. Privateers help to solve that by bringing the kind of right wing people who like power into government. The Police Union is always the right wing power source that left-wing activists fear the most: shitting on them literally risks them taking a couple of hours to show up for you 911 call (or so they believe). I have seen leftists who talk about abolishing the police openly worry on Facebook about retaliation from the police. Because that is what they would do.

We need privateers;

Private deportation agents 

Literal privateers who go after Chinese fishing boats

Reprogrammed DEI lawyers

Paid Christian activists who get leftist professors fired 

And

Money for white South Africans in exchange for votes 

Money for Russian immigrants in exchange for votes

Salaries for conservatives college professors in exchange for indoctrinating students 

Salaries for conservative teachers in exchange for indoctrination

We also need some system that removes leftist judges.

Power builds on itself. The ability to harass your enemies makes it easier to repeal their cycles. Any system of privateers will make getting and keeping power easier. Getting power makes getting power easier. You build up your own cycles and destroy the enemy's. That is how you create power that outlasts an election. 

Also, one last thing. A right wing alternative to Hollywood is desperately needed. And it can't be some stupid ham-fisted Christian thing like "Angel Studios." It has to be actually good fiction. Larry Niven is an excellent right-wing author who has never been made into a media. I'm sure there are others. The fact that there are right wing multi-billionaires who have never even considered starting a movie studio is remarkable to me. Everything should not depend on The Will Stancil Show. Cultural production is severely underrated among the right. If I were a billionaire I would have recruited Emily Youcis long ago and given her millions for a whole new right wing Cartoon Network and she would be supervising a dozen different shows right now as their producer. Cultural production matters but especially media that ridicules the enemy.
