RESEARCH NOTES

We have already moved on from the forgone conclusion that was the UK election and have collectively switched our focus to the seat of the empire.

I’m flying to America to support Trump in this desperate hour - Farage

The result of Reform’s 5 seats (we predicted 3-7) has been murmuring about preparing for 2029 and the farcical dance every small political party does about Proportional Representation. Haggling about the shape of the electoral system is pathetic and a large step backward.

Zero Seats did not materialize and is now a memetic curiosity, perhaps Zero Votes was a better slogan given the turnout:

Reform is already a diversity joke https://archive.is/9HuzF

Starmer is already Meshing The Gears:

French elections too have already been forgotten as the NR underperformed:

A system wide electoral pact coupled with pan-establishment coalition governments can & will make the task of getting in power impossible -even if you somehow become the biggest party by vote share.

Western politics is all about endlessly buying time until unpopular changes are codified as established norms: making people wait for Le Penn in 2027, which serves the exact same function as making people wait for Nige in 2029, ekes out a couple more years. Then something akin to Lockdown happens, or The War on Terror or any number of things that pull the political rug out from those carefully building an electoral profile.

The news is rhythmically drumming “Trump is coming! Trump is coming!”

Biden could not be allowed to actually die in office. Biden has been politically mercy-killed because his shambling corpse revealed that the levers of power go nowhere:

Trump will not be in power in the same way Biden was never in power. You can’t have an anti-bureaucracy arch bureaucrat. Presidents are not actually kings.

The power of the elite class is not in their control of events, but in their FRAMING of events.

The ultimate truth is this: the assassination attempt on Donald Trump does not affect the shape of the overall system. The predetermined outcomes that were apparent months in advance have not changed, rather “events” are being parsed in the media in a manner that moves the public into accepting said outcomes.

Trump was apparently millimeters away from assisination and no violence has erupted because of it. The idea there is a civil war brewing in complete retardation. America is obese and passive.

Power will not change hands in November.

Cutting through The Endless Conversation:

Expand your time horizons and zoom out.

Long term trends such as Digital ID persist. Technology becomes more fragile: https://www.euronews.com/next/2024/07/22/microsoft-says-eu-to-blame-for-the-worlds-worst-it-outage

How do we organize? How do we build? How do we get better people, not merely more people?
