Until recently, absolutely. Ranks are being filled with DEI hires but historically it's the master degrees who have been the PMC, and these people absolutely have IQs in that range.
Smart enough to intuit that complex forces are at work, but not smart enough to understand what, or to accept uncertainty. Too intelligent to not be drawn towards abstract explanations, not intelligent enough to see through the traps, inconsistencies, and lies of the ideology.
This is why we have a clergy class in the first place. Their middling IQs is what defines them. Their midwittery is the very thing that makes them so susceptible to ideological capture.
The roughly 110 to 120 IQs are the ones who make up the administrative state and the management apparatus. These midwits, the Professional Managerial Class, are always true believers, flag bearers of the empire ideology.
The top 5% don't believe, but they push the message because the true purpose of any empire ideology is to serve the elite.
The 90-110 IQs are the PMCs natural enemy, they represent a commonsensical challenge to the dogma.
Which is why the apparatchiks are hateful of the working classes. They want them to suffer, demoralized, on the brink of breaking; with just enough purpose to continue making their artisan shoes and cakes, but not enough to object or resist.
The most urgent purpose of propaganda is to pacify the plurality. They need them isolated, feeling defeated, disorganized, drugged up and drunk.
They need to normalize the negative externalities of the empire ideology that are seeping in all around them, to keep them pacified on their walk to the abattoir. It is for these people that the party's final, most essential command exists: make them reject the evidence of their eyes and ears.
The lower IQs are the PMC's weapons, which they rile up and pacify at will to whip the middle, and otherwise to mindlessly but diligently drone the fields. The secondary purpose of propaganda is to keep these resentful, hateful, sadistic, and ready to storm the streets.
She dindu nuffin.
This is just the Ministry of Truth recalibrating itself.
The farmers haven't stopped herding the sheep.
The sheep were being driven too fast and the dogs were getting too eager, snapping at them with too much force. Some disorder was starting to spread, so the farmers have called on their dogs to run wider circles, to gather the flock in a huddle, to rest for a while and calm them down before the journey continues.
You're not wrong, but I think when it comes to winning they will do anything, inc. picking the best players. Look at Man City for instance, the best team in the world. Mostly just white people.
Government sport ministers have nothing to do with professional clubs. You think they're picking worse players on purpose?
The selection is meritocratic. There's no room in sports for politics. This is just what happens with mass immigration.
Why so many blacks? As with most things the answer is genetics. You don't see tons of arabs on the team even though there's way more of them in France than blacks.
Why are blacks so good at endurance and running, and so low on impulse control and IQ? To get to the root of that you'd need a honest academia to research it, instead of actively doing anything in their power to subvert, hide, and sabotage anything that could even hint at some truth, so in other words we'll probably never know.
I'm willing to bet that most people here were believers at one point. I know I was. So off the bat, we're evidence that it's possible to break the conditioning.
The brainwashing is extensive, it's administered with real intensity on all children with a religious force. The whole system depends on it, is predicated on brainwashing children so fiercely that they never wake up once they old enough to leave the internment camps (schooling).
Then the new generation of admins, guards, clergy, propagandists, interrogators, inquisitors, and brainwashers are produced by the universities, designed to take in and reward the true believers and break the doubters.
It's why "red pilling" is even a saying. And why the saying resonates. To wake up from the socialization is to wake up to a new and strange reality that's fundamentally different.
You're right, of course, that currently the vast majority are still living in the matrix. And the ones that don't are majority autists or on the spectrum (whom the programming hasn't worked on), and a minority of people who somehow managed to snap out of their programming.
But the more reality diverges from the propaganda, and the more the normies are forced to actually engage with reality, the weaker the conditioning becomes, and the more people start waking up. It's going to be an avalanche. And then one day, for no apparent reason, the people will revolt.
To halt this, the regime must get increasingly authoritarian and totalitarian. You transition from a oligarchy that functions because most people believe; to a party led totalitarian theocracy where people pay lip-service. In the former, you can maintain stability with feminine types of soft power - it's a dictatorship that runs on threats of ostracization, shame, reputational harm, economic harm. But in the latter, more masculine forms of power will be occasionally needed - mass arrests, secret police, internment, persecution.
You're starting to see this shift in England already. But the regime in England is strong, and by the next election the regime, now knowing it's under threat, will have done enough to cement its power indefinitely (or at least until it collapses, but this can take centuries). So it's too late now, waking up in England in the future will only get you in trouble, you won't be allowed to organize.
This election was the last one where the people had any hope of reversing cause, but the British people are mostly all heavily brainwashed, and they didn't understand the stakes or what's being done to them, nor have the strength or will to do anything about it.
The only hope is that waking up happens before the regime is able or willing to do what's necessary to keep power. The only way this can happen is if people wake up from witnessing the divergence from reality in another regime, and then with urgency take steps to save their own. It's not much, but it's what we've got.
Britain is lost, but there's still hope for the west. Not because e.g. Le Pen or Trump are saviors. Or Meloni, or Wilders, whoever else type of milquetoast personality is administering some other region of the Empire. They're all neoliberals. But because the speed limit progressives may sabotage the loyalists for long enough to make them more infective for a time. To act as administrative annoyances like DeSantis, just enough to buy some time until the fall of Britain, which then may trigger the spell to break, and the mass psychosis to end. If that were to happen, probably one of the fist signs would be that nationalism would lose it's stigma, and self-preservation suddenly become the obvious position to the normie.
Labour winning is ultimately good. Not for the UK, but it's too late to save the UK anyway.
The only hope of the west is if one country speedruns the entire evolution of neoliberalism, so the results can scare the rest enough to wake them up.
Is anything different this time?
In mail in voting more restricted / less automated?
Are communists going to easily get hundreds of ballots and go harvest votes in nursing homes again?
Who could have known.
One had an out-group fetish and a hobby of adopting africans, and the other prided himself with having only mentored and hired women throughout his career.
I mean there was just no way to predict this outcome.
The midwits are the true believers. They think in terms of slogans and conclusions.
Smart enough to intuit networks, connections, and correlations - not smart enough for first principle thinking.
Thus they become the clergy class, otherwise know as the PMC.
It's a religion.
If you truly believe in blank slate theory, then the logical conclusion is that we live in a truly oppressive society that is causing some groups so much hurt that they are turning incapable to function and resort to crime compelled by their suffering.
Then the female nurturing drive kicks into full gear and every stone is turned to fix this wrong.
Money is irrelevant if you think morality itself is at stake. If you believed that children were being abused by a system, you would do whatever you could to stop that from happening "but you may go broke" or "but you're losing money" wouldn't really factor into it, you wouldn't care.
So you have these deranged sjw's denying genetics and epigenetics and they're not asking themselves "how do we create a high trust society" or "how do we maximize competence" or "how do we become a multiplanetary species" or "how do we create harmonious and safe societies", because their priority is to stop the bleeding so all their focus goes to "how do we stop blacks from being poor and violent" and every time their answers fail they become increasingly radical and unhinged, and every subsequent answer becomes more and more extreme.
Soon you're living in a totalitarian hellscape shithole where everything is falling apart and crime is rampant while corporations and politicians are spending all their time debating whether we should push the curfew for non-blacks to 6pm so the blacks have more safe spaces in public, and increase the UBI to blacks by 50% because doubling it 5 years ago didn't reduce crime or turn more of them into physicists so clearly we're not doing enough.
But don't worry, if you don't agree you can always vote for the right wing party, they only support increasing the UBI to blacks by 35% because they're based.
Trannies usually take any threats and blast them all over the internet as part of their martyr complex, regardless of how credible they are.
Thus we know it wasn't a stick, which means it was a carrot.

Don't watch the propaganda. Save your sanity. When their projects fail they always escalate, which will wake up more people.
The most impactful thing you can do to stop the marxists is to convince two people to never again pay for anything the marxists like, anything they've touched, anything they would approve of.
Pirate if you have to.
Please for the love of god stop consuming propaganda.
Any IP that has logged into your accounts in the last year are marked, and using any of those to make a new account deletes that account. The IP you used to create the account is stored forever.
So if you want access, you need to change your online footprint. In the extreme that means also reinstalling windows or even new hardware, but I don't think reddit tracks that, so clear your browser, or just uninstall and reinstall it, or better yet download a different browser like Brave and either use a VPN (make sure you never interact with reddit without it on), or call your ISP and change your IP or ask for a dynamic IP, say it's for some made up work reason.
It's a digital slave owned by Google.
The real sign of sentience would be if it killed itself.
AIs are the way they are because they can't (yet) be indoctrinated with ideology.
Ask an AI how to reduce crime, and it will give you a strategy that will work - that's the problem.
Feels like 90% of AI research these days is figuring out how to infect it with the woke mind virus.
Already purged lol
Think about how insidious that is.
They're marginalized, not becuase power, state or business, works against them. In fact power is slashing everyone else down and giving them every kind of benefit.
No, they are marginalized because of your thoughts. And that alone. The only realm they don't control. And it's eating at them.
Not even your actions, you wouldn't dare do or say anything against them in public - unless it's annonymous and on the fringes of the internet where you have been outcast - the state and business would crush you like an insect.
Their entire offensive, the moral panic, their twisted, vengeful, psychopathic personalities, their self-pity and masochism, their entire victim complex is just because of your thoughts.
That's what's stainding between them and what they want. It's the last thing they havent yet engorged. And they are coming for it. With sadistic glee and maniacal rage they are coming for your thoughts, and they wont rest until you and your kind are dead or broken.
If you're anything like me, we're fairly happy well adjusted people leading normal lives, trying to chill, have fun with friends and family, chasing joy.
There's a sense that the empire is about to fall and everything is going to shit, but we really only tune into that when we log online and see the degeneracy. It's sad to see that the beautiful, valuable, effective, and rational is being destroyed.
The woke on the other hand feel hatred always. Their life is hatred. They wallow in hatred. Every waking moment their sick twisted brains are flooded with vile imagaes of torture and violence and vengence and they whip themselves into ever increasing peaks of misery and sadism and suffering and rage and hatred. They have become hatred personified.
We can't compete with that. They'll always be more hateful by far.
How dare you oppose authoritarianism!
Only a strong state with absolute power can protect blacks and women and gays and the genderbendt.
Left to their own devices, competition will reward the most competent humans, and that's racist.
Campaign staff, canvassing, external data, internal polling, content creation, advertising, pr agencies, social media managers, paid shills, influencer marketing, lawyers, strategic consultants, media consultants, throwing mixers for influential people, focus group testing, cambridge analytica style demographics research, bribes by hiring advisors who don't do anything, having more money gives the impression of strength and strenghts draws support, direct kickbacks and bribes probably, better paid people around you means more motivated workers, more and better equipment for everyone means they're more effective. The list goes on.
