Resurgent Populism and the Fate of America’s Elites

[Kaslin]

Perhaps never in modern human history have a nation’s elites been more spineless and self-absorbed than in today’s America. In order to protect their privilege, America’s most privileged are nervous and afraid of conflict even when they have the knowledge, experience and ammunition to counter specious charges of political incorrectness or the mainstreaming of anti-Americanism or the exhortation of nation-transforming left-wing programs and dogma.

As America’s elites cower and almost immediately acquiesce to any organized leftist mob, they do not comprehend that these pusillanimous traits have spawned an era of resurgent populism in the United States that is motivated by a determination to rid the country of their malignant influence.

In normal modern societies, the ruling class, despite their individual personal failings, has symbolized empathy, ability, learning and good judgement. But America no longer has a normal society as the unchecked egocentricity and cowardice of the elites is the indisputable sign that this nation is mired in mediocrity.

Ours is a society that has been turned upside down and as such it is difficult to come to grips with the astounding level of deterioration in such a short span of time. This unfathomable deterioration has been brought about as a result of the abandonment of fundamental Judeo-Christian tenets (the root cause of their self-absorption) and the abject spinelessness throughout all components of the American ruling class.

I think we're done as a union of 50 states. We can't live with the other side. We need separation. And I would like to live in a new, smaller country, which had extremely harsh -- extremely harsh -- penalties for sexual perversion and political corruption.

Our ruling class is actively trying to replace and/or overthrow the rest of the population. They - the ruling class - need to go.

Leviticus niv

18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. 

           They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them;

they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.

Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:6

 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;

What kind of a people are we;

that we allow men dressed in womens clothes

to pervert the minds of little children?

Sure sounding more and more like the leadup to the French revolution!

[Kaslin]

Eww,that is gross and disgusting.

“They - the ruling class - need to go.”

That was why Trump was elected - and why they promptly removed him. While he was in office, the “R” half of the Republocrats obstructed his agenda until halfway through, when the “D” half could take over the House - maintaining the appearance of the opposition party obstructing the agenda (instead of his own).

We need a picture of Bo Derrick when she was in 10... For EYE BLEACH...

That thing is uglier than Helen Thomas... 🤓

Part of the problem is that individual status conflict happens only within their subculture. Any outsiders are simply unable to get on the cursus honorum (the ancient Roman promotion system for public offices) in many fields. That makes status and compliance with the insiders vastly more important than the opinions of the masses. Or, put another way, it is cult-like behavior, with the disturbing element that the cults inside baseball affects everone outside the cult.

[Varda]

The author has a false premise that the nations “elites” have middle class values. They don’t and haven’t for a very long time.

Political correctness, leftism, and the promotion of immorality is what they’ve sown because they believe in it. They fund it, they enforce it and they benefit from it. They are way more powerful than they used to be.

[bert]

So, don’t be critical of the elite.

Instead solve the problem. Destroy and exterminate the leftist mobs

the abject spinelessness throughout all components of the American ruling class.

Woke corporate boards and the GOP are a good example of having no spine.
