It would be one of the greatest ironies of history if in the American establishment's attempt to save itself, they sped up the arrival of your "Augustus Caesar" equivalent.
Hmm, why's there boss music heralding the entry of this 'Gaius Julius Caesar' character onto the political arena? Maybe doubling down on the suppression of the political opposition, up to and including mass-murdering them, without resolving any of the issues motivating them to oppose you in the first place is actually a losing strategy in the long run. Especially when your opponents tend to be well-armed even before all their fears are validated in rapid succession. Okay, so we just knifed him in the back after he was nothing but magnanimous to us. That should be the end of it...wait, Mark Antony is rabble rousing and the plebs are pissed.
What's this about "Augustus?" Nah, he's just a kid, focus on Antony.
Edit: Even worse, at least the Optimates had the defence of "Tradition." What does the Establishment have?
As I've said elsewhere, Trump is an older gentleman who doesn't quite understand the internet as well as younger people do. That has translated into a serious blunder which may have helped cost him reelection.
Atop that, his failure to see just how deep the swamp went sealed the deal for his enemies.
All told, as much as I like him, those were catastrophic blunders.
...yes. That was my point. When the enemy won't play nice, the niceties will have to wait until after you win.
Do you mean as in the hackers failed to do so, or Parler? Because if it's the latter, holy fuck these people are idiots.
The true test of a person's principles is how they conduct themselves upon winning a long and hard conflict.
In that respect, given how utterly mental the West has gone (what I believe to be a sort of civilisational ptsd from the World Wars worsened by Soviet subversion), can you really blame the Chinese for taking advantage?
As in, they are behaving as any other country would have done in the previous paradigm.
Alex Jones remixes are among the highest forms of art. He's a bloody national treasure.
They still have a shit ton of warm bodies to throw at any enemy, but you are right that their primary weapon is espionage for the moment. They are still looking to modernise wherever they can (their navy for example).
Alas, the Chinese are very good at espionage. I suppose it's the whole "subdue your enemy without fighting" taken to its logical conclusion.
Because outside of /pol, people understand that China with its vast army, population, nuclear arsenal, totalitarian government and greater wealth than all the Jewish billionaires put together, is a serious fucking problem.
Yeah, Parler's leadership seem to be indicating they can work around this. Bitchute, Gab and Subscribestar have managed to survive and thrive without big tech supporting them. I don't doubt Parler can probably do the same.
After all, just because you could upload your content in 480p, why would you, if other platforms support full 1080p, and even much beyond?
Because the other platforms are censorious lunatics and there is a market to be filled for let's players on Bitchute.
What I like about Styx is how he's greypilled.
That appears to be the best pill you can take. It's a healthy worldview.
480p? That's essentially the resolution Total War channels had as they got started back in the day. And make no mistake, those were the glory days.
Better late than never I suppose.
Monarchies weren't totalitarian, the were autocratic if authoritarian at times. If the King went crazy, he'd get removed by the nobles.
(If he can ditch his dumpy bathrobes, my god)
Styx wouldn't be Styx if he wasn't a bit strange. It's all part of the "Misplaced in time Hippy" charm he has.
People do forget that, alas, Trump is an older gentleman and perhaps doesn't fully understand the importance of the internet.
You have to give him credit. He saw this coming all the way back from 2016, and is now the biggest chap on Bitchute.
Quite right. It may not seem like much now, but I'm sure the same could have been said of the Boston Massacre back in 1770. The reverberations of 6th January 2021 may be felt for a long time to come.
They killed a veteran. Outside the MSM, that is optical suicide because they have provided the Nationalists with a martyr. That shot will be heard around the world one day. It just may take some time to echo.
Fortunately, such a movement would know to look out for well funded activists. Also, if your leadership has some smattering of principles, it's bloody hard to buy them out.
You'll have better luck doing that with a movement you built from the ground up. When you know what to look out for, and set the rules, it's harder for lefties to infiltrate than, say, an oblivious corporation or establishment party.
It's useful for causing chaos, but if you wish to effect real long term change you need to gain power. And it seems the only method of doing that is via grassroots.
I'm not wrong though. His failure to beat the swamp into line was what allowed them to cheat so brazenly and get away with it. He was just too conciliatory for his own good.
