brother. I'm near the end of the rode we all are. Trump is just the first step to a slightly better world, his rule will end, then what? his VP? Vivek? we don't have much of a pick for leaders constitutionally after trump's term. trump might be a delay for some type of war or depression. if trump doesn't deliver a 1/4 of his promises the right might crack. most likely some from of populist national type (MAGA). I'm both scared and hopeful. i want the far future better. but the near future will be a crescendo of a era at a end. the industrious age ended. then what. more prosperity? maybe. May God guide us well.
Good Sir, I must say I am able to relate somewhat. To the 'waiting-room', to the innate knowing that something everything is wrong. I, personally. Raged against it, I acted non-compliantly in school. From elementary up, because they wanted to litterally control me, 'as I saw it'. And so I went against the school, and it brough down its boot. Hard, again and again. Pyriah is an understatement. It no different then the social outcasting done publicly. 'That one is an open target', to whomever, just dont say that outloud. But, dispuite all the school did to dive me mad, and make me hostile to everyone. I won. I can claim, that. I bested that system. For in my Non-Compliance, I got to graduate early. Because their beurocracy sqrewed up and gave me a way to break it. With a computer program Called Odysee. I learned something 'cool' way back in the mid 2010s. The school system takes One Buisness day to cycle the paperwork to move a highschooler from. Sophmore->Junior and Junior->Senior see it is a rather simple affair, so long as all the boxes can be checked.
My wager is the crisis of 2020 his the US in the late 2020's or early 2030's when social security runs out or is about to run out of money. The Federal government has thus far been able pretend that everything's fine, but social security is the sacred cow of the most important voting block in the US. The uni-party has to make an impossible decision between allowing the benefit cuts to go ahead (loosing face in the process), jacking up taxes on an overburdened population (mass political descent), or going back to inflating to inflationary money printing (also mass political descent). Something will have to change by that point.
My mother is a rural peadant girl from the Madeiran back water. But she likes tarot cards back when I was a child. But yes modern mothers when we were children. A type of mother liked the Bachelorette.
Mine was obsessed with True Crime docuseries while constantly gaslighting and manipulating her kids comparing and denigrating them as terrible people just like their fathers.

To add on, Philipians 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." We'll get through this brother, take heart. For God is with us as long as we hold fast.
I love when you point out how school kids are basically expected to work 13 hours a day. It's a point I try to make, but it's so normalized nobody cares. You're right. Kids have roughly 7 hours of school, a couple hours of homework/studying, and then a few more hours for extracurriculars and/or sports. I was only in high school band and we put almost 20+ hours a week into practice before and after school. In terms of just sheer hours worked, no adult even comes close.
13 hours a day from K - 12.... then they get out having no practical skill, zero financial literacy and are barely worth minimum wage.... Nothing to look into there, itl end up fine, probably
I absolutely agree that we suck up way too much of the kids' time in school - and most of their time in school is spent doing nonsense. Not the least just shuffling around from one class to another - which they're only in for an hour or so, hardly enough time to really dive into anything. But you're exagerrating a bit... Who actually did hours of homework every day? A few kids did maybe, but the laaaarge majority of us didn't. I work way more hours as a young man than I ever did in school. But maybe working long hours in school is what gets you the sort of career where you don't work long hours? I dunno. But there's no doubt that modern schooling is an abomimation. Sadly these days if the kids aren't in school they'll be on ipads or playing video games - but 100 years ago, when the moms were all at home in their communities during the day, kids spent a lot more time out in their communities. We don't even have communities anymore in the way that existed a century ago.
Get real😂 Public school in the US is an absolute joke! Now a good college prep school or Catholic school is top notch, providing an actual educational experience, but public schools are an utter joke. I worked about 25-30 hours a week after transferring from a Catholic school to public school in my junior year of HS. Impo school kids don't work anywhere near hard enough. Everyone should work, life is work.
Look at your list …. Working for no pay. It’s training for that to be normal. Because I had a paying job after school, I had no time for all that overly scheduled extracurricular stuff.

Living in a British town which has doubled population in 20 years and now the English are a minority and most people I know who were actually born here are stuck in homelessness or borderline homelessness, I can imagine what it will look like is that the ethnic enclaves on each street will fight all the rest. The locals, who are disarmed, demoralised, childless and oppressed while being told they hold all the power and blamed for everything, will be wiped out, while ancient cultural grievances from the rest of the world will play out on the streets in each town.
But Diversity is our strength, just like it was the strength of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire, places reknowned for their stability and social cohesion.
"When you have more workers competing for the same job, wages get worse". I'd like to say it's amazing how big the overlap is between people complaining about wage stagnation and people who think open borders are a good idea (aka people holding two completely conflicting ideals and not willing to give up one of them when made aware of it), but very little surprises me at this point.
I'd like to tell the 1.5B people of china that Americans have done what we could to bring 500M of them out of poverty, by "giving them" 100M of the jobs that were here in the USA then shipped there. 25 years, the prime of my life, were spent having to do something other than manufacturing because all the MBAs ahead of me outsourced those manufacturing jobs, banked that margin and retired early. We were supposed to be happy with service jobs that paid 1/3 less and nobody cared. Still, nobody cares.
Its felt like for those of us who were 18-22 in 2020, everything fell apart right when life was actually supposed to start for us but im happy im not the only one who feels this way
Was working a good job, saving up for college, and was going to start dating again since my life was more stable and I could meet new people in school. Then I lost my job, everyone was terrified to leave the house, and I had a year of unemployment before I could go to school and the only option was online. I feel like I missed out on a pinnacle year of my life and I’ve spent the last four years in some kind of limbo.
Similar thing happen to those of use that became adults as things fell apart in 2008. I was in the army at the time so I dodged the labor market imploding unlike post people I graduated with. So many of them ended up stunted.
Yep, I graduated college in 2020. Also caught a DV charge at the end of that year because my girlfriend at the time called the police because I was acting suicidally (was all sorts of messed up mentally at the time, on SSRIs, anti-anxieties, smoking weed all the time, was black-out drunk during this incident -- I've since cleaned up massively). The cops decided that me behaving suicidally was actually me "menacing" her and arrested and charged me -- despite the fact that she had no desire for that to happen and was truly just concerned for my well-being. Never laid a finger on her, there was no physical altercation whatsoever. Because I'd never offended before (or after for that matter) they gave me a plea deal that had my criminal record sealed after 1.5 years of multiple sessions of court-ordered therapy per week and two random drug tests a month (they tested for everything including alcohol). The worst part of it was the group therapy, we were all treated like wife-beaters even though to my knowledge every single other man there was like me -- charged with non-violent crimes of a domestic nature. If you were actually physically violent, you didn't get the parole and therapy, you got prison (and rightfully so!). I remember there were quite a few older men there that clearly got accused by spiteful (ex) wives as a way to get a leg up in divorce proceedings. In fact, there was only one guy there out of like 8 or 9 that actually belonged, he poured some kind of mixture into a girl's car's gas tank to try to destroy the car's engine as revenge for something she did -- can't remember what. The domestic violence - industrial complex is real. Never, EVER, drink heavily with a woman. Doesn't matter how long you've known her or how much you trust her. All it takes is for her to make ONE call to ruin your life. It doesn't matter if there's no evidence of any wrong-doing on your part, all they need is her word. And they barely even need that, because as was in my case, they will happily "interpret" what she says to them and after that she won't be able to stop them, as they'll just claim that she's only afraid of you retaliating against her. So just keep that in mind, that any woman that you have ANY sort of relationship or friendship with beyond strangers can destroy your life at any time, any place by pressing 4 buttons and saying a couple of sentences. Anyways, that was a good splash of cold water in my face during the first year of my life in the "real world" after finishing school. Covid and dealing with the case at the same time. I'm just a lucky guy, I guess.
I was 22 in 2020 and I feel that. I have a full time job I can walk to but the only thing I can afford is helping my parents keep a roof over our heads and food on the table.

"Winds in the east, mist coming in." "Like somethin' is brewin' and bout to begin." "Can't put me finger on what lies in store." "But I fear what's to happen all happened before."
the scariest part and the most vindicating evidence towards this notion: is that WE all feel it! damn near everyone i talk too, acknowledges this ominous gut feeling that shit is about to hit the fan.... best start saying your prayers now, boys, only God can save us from ourselves....
I feel it too, and I felt it all my life. And I firmly believe that we are right. However... We should look at this with just a pinch of salt. Because in history, it was constantly this "impending doom" idea around. I think that this is part of our nature. We feel that our lifestyle (civilization) is a divertion from the normal way of the animals, and we feel guilt for it.
If you were old enough to remember the pre 911 days, you could tell a couple of years afterward that everything had changed. It's only gotten worse over the years. My kids grew up in this new world. I can tell them what it was like to grow up in the 80s and 90s, and they have a look their faces like they missed out on the last good times.
@kollow Same. I’m a VERY late 90s kid and only recall at best early 2000s. Man even after 9/11 things were better and freer… I watch old shows and movies and refuse to believe the 1950s and 1960s were real. Men wearing suits and women fine dresses to Disney World? You could leave a loaded weapon next to you at a park bench without fear of it being used against you or being arrested for it? America making it’s own stuff?
Rudyard claims the "elites" want free markets, but what we see is the opposite. Governments and powerful corporations/banks want more control, and for markets to be dominated by them without freedom to participate in alternative systems. The elites aren't libertarians, Rudyard
The "elites" want socialism. Because socialist control means government control. And when the "elites" control the government, socialist control mean elite control.
Notice how he always just calls them Elites but never says Jews? Rudy is a Doolittle Cultist. He's a wannabe elite. He's like Richard Hanania and Dicky Spencer in that he wants the establishment to like him so bad, but only on his terms.
A few of us are older men, Rudyard. Frankly, one of the few things that brings me comfort in this time of impending doom is knowing that there are at least some extremely wise, strong young men who may survive the next 30 years and even have children. It gives me hope.

In the early panic of the varus my only reaction was "I didn't expect a collapse for another decade" People are denying the looming collapse in a desperate attempt to believe their own lie. You can see the disbelief in their eyes.
How much longer do you think we have? Or is it a two additional weeks scenario where everything just slowly declines indefinitely and we don’t even notice it?
We have another 5-20 years. Between money madness, population collapse, and ridiculous overreach to cope by the power structures the timing is a bit up in the air. Could be 5 years at worst or 20 max.
@selfprojects1953 I agree with that. People talk a lot about it being right around the corner, but it feels like society is just coping so hard at this point that we might be able to hold off until we finally become insolvent and have no avenue to put off dealing with it anymore.

Spot on once again. “Society is a dystopia in which the boring Karen’s won, and restructured the world and western civilization in their image”…..couldn’t have said it better myself. The lameness, the fact that everything revolves around safety and liability is absolutely infuriating; it’s preventing real shit from getting done. This so-called democracy has me so disillusioned, I’d never think I’d feel this way. If you told me in 2016 that I’d be leaning Trump in 24’, it would have shocked me. I don’t think I’d believe it “The 2024 Election: Or how I stopped worrying, and love the Trump bomb”
Yes. It’s all done to you on purpose. Fight back. Life has always been a battle. The difference is men used to teach boys to fight. Now single moms teach boys to be safe. Women cannot raise men just boys that shave. Teach yourself to fight back. Start with the best father you can have in God and learn what he has written. It will teach you how to fight and win in every battle.
Ostensibly yes with some caveats. If society truly revolved around safety we'd have a lot more cultural separation. Groups that committed high rates of crime would be simply banned instead of kept around to put fear in the public and force people to rely on the government for "safety" from problem they spent millions cultivating.
I've always just said bureaucracy is the main issue today, but that was a much more poetic way of putting it. Plus, I can tell when I say the word "bureaucracy" to most people, they get lost.
You remind me of Jung, who became extremely mentally ill and psychotic, seeing visions of fields of bloody corpses across Europe, only to be relieved upon the declaration of WWI.
I registered as an independent out of highschool because I was never a fan of the government. Just form my own curiosity and studying I had been given no reason to place my trust in the apparatus. But I think it was 2008, when I got ahold of a Ron Paul pamphlet that things started to turn for me. I was very curious about why he had raw milk in his list of things he wanted to get done. Ended up looking up the raw milk industry and wound up in a rabbit hole that led to so much insane information I had to take a step back for a while. My dislike of the government slowly into pure distrust. By the time Trump came onto the scene I was already well and fully redpilled and out of the matrix. I saw him as the third party option I'd always hoped for. I got to watch much like you in real time as people lost their minds over lies. 2020 was like the dumpster caught on fire. I'm black so I openly and loudly called out all the racist division as it happened. From Collin Capernick to George Floyd. I've gotten some backlash, but some of my family has come around as things revealed themselves. The waiting room analogy is perfect. It feels like I've been waiting for any number of catastrophies to happen but time keeps right on ticking. As a Christian, I understand things are not going to get better, but worse, regardless of the election outcome I feel like we're in for a ride.

I completely agree with you man. I’ve been saying similar stuff to people just about my gut feelings generally and at first people would either shut it down or give reasons, as he says in the video, of why it wouldn’t or couldn’t happen to us. Now, people I work with are talking to me about how we are mirroring the fall of the Roman Republic. I urge anyone who has not accepted Christ to read tbd Bible and pray for guidance now. Matthew 24
I just finished "The Great Wave" and it's stunningly good, but I remind you of Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire". Rome was broke and broken in 249 AD, but lingered in turmoil until 476 AD. America may have broken in 2008 but we can limp along in denial for another 200 years existing in name only while the spirit of our nation was gone 60 years ago. Sad.
Yeah I have a few extra tree rings compared to Rudyard, I remember being convinced america and the petrodollar were finally meeting their doom in 2009. While the trends are real, and I agree broadly with the inevitablity of their conclusions, the timing and triggers may yet elude us.

Gold standards makes it extremely difficult for banks to make money and governments to expand beyond taxes. It takes away their ability to concentrate wealth without the consent of the population. It does not make it difficult to grow a legitimate economy.
Yeah the complaint about the gold standard is that it limits credit availability.... Considering the massive amount of debt that's accumulated since moving off, I don't see a problem here, even if it means "growth is slower". And I'm not even a gold standard proponent overall, I think Fiat could work if the money supply was strictly limited through some other means. The gold standard just makes it easy to hold the printers accountable to limit the supply.
The creation of the Fed allowed the federal government to operate the $ printing presses at will. Gold and the avoidance of a Fed bureaucracy (just used the 2 year note as the interest rate and be done with it) solves the problems of the past 20 years.

Our keynesian model of "growth" driven by consumption is putting the cart in front of the horse, or trying to build a house without a foundation. It only destroy wealth screwing the capital flow structure, like how much wealth was destroyed in the 2007 housing bubble? Trillions burned, millions or billions of working hours wasted, thousands of tons of material, millions of kwh spent, etc building houses that no one could afford so no one lived in them, instead of all that time, human, monetary, material, etc capital being invested and spent in things that people actually wanted or could afford at the time. Now applies this to everything else being propped by money printing just to crash and burn, it's insane the amount of wealth that we destroy. The fact that we aren't already starving to death is a testament on how good modern real capitalism running under the corporativism/fascism and democratic socialism is at dealing with inefficiencies.

I'm Gen X and I felt this as a teen in the 90s. My parents didn't guide me in any way, our family was fractured to rhe point where to this day no one speaks to each other, and my children have never met their grandparents and no one seems to care. Generational wealth has also stopped here, as I see the Boomers as largely psychopaths and narcissists. I have never owned a home, that dream is dead. Your analogy of the "waiting room" has been my hell. I luckily chose the Trades, and have a private pension through a huge union. My children might be in for actual violent times.

You should connect with Dr. Koontz of the Brief History of Power podcast. He grew up in the rustbelt as well. As such, he was confused when he met people saying everything was collapsing. He thought to himself, "what do you mean...hasn't it ALREADY collapsed?" He's got an amazing grasp of history and human nature. I think you two would have an amazing conversation.

It's gonna take a generation at the very least; if we look at previous societal collapses then the women will have to smarten up and re-build men's trust in them before any repairing/rebuilding can be done. Based on historical collapses though I think it'll be closer to 50+ years for the tyranny that certain types of people are trying to install to collapse. Unpopular viewpoint: Women control the direction of society because they control men's incentive to go out and do the hard things that women can't (or won't) do in order to build and maintain societies. A Marketer's kryptonite is a single man with no aspirations for female companionship because he'll be happy with an existence that's just above subsistence aka he's not going out and working hard to buy things to impress women, which we're seeing now in Western society (and is the real reason men are being shamed...follow the money).

Rudy 1 correction. The ruling class absolutely disdains free market capitalism. It pulls to much power away from the managerial class and the systems relies on being accountable (to consumers, demands of market, staff etc). These types hate that, esp 3 letter agencies and controlling ideologues. They’ll have that system as soon as they embrace socialism. Any question of the Keynesian approach is unacceptable to the status quo of the last 30 years. The amount of gaslighting on its failures and deformation/ slandering on anyone who questions it has been very clearly evident. I’ll accept they were mostly free trade but that’s as far as I feel is fair
exactly, they use the language of Adam Smith, free market capitalism, that guys like Ron Paul would also use but as Ron Paul so often pointed out, we have things that are pure fascistic crony capitalism such as teh Fed Reserve which gives big banks and corporations ability to borrow tons of money at far below market interest rates for small business or you and me even if we have elite credit ratings.
It disdains market capitalism within the countries themselves but they love international trade and internation trade agreements. That's why they are trying to get as much as trade free zones as possible.

Agree to disagree- deflation is when the cost of money is increasing compared to the cost of labor. Inflation means more of your work gets hired-out and deflation means more of your work is done in-house.
We want neither inflation or deflation, but a sound-money system like gold naturally tends towards an equilibrium in exchange rates. Breton-Woods was not such a system and ultimately ended because it was not sound money and inhibited deficit spending necessary to sustain the growth of the managerial class.
@@screwstatists7324 Gold is deflation. Gentle inflation is ideal because it makes piles of money gradually shrink over time and therefore investment is necessary.

@@jasonwolfe4205 Your Character and your virtues come out under pressure. The biolgy and instinct is the same for most pepole. We used to joke that all the harshness in the Army built character as a way to laugh it off. I now know that is correct. Virtue and character are built with practice and are seen clearly under pressure and danger. The Greeks learnt this thousands of years ago and Christinas used to teach this as well. Only in the modern world is this not known to the average person.
I think most people would settle for having to live with someone to see their true self. Inconsiderate loud noises, not cleaning up after themselves, filling the trash can but never emptying it. We don't need to go far enough to see if they would stoop to cannibalism or something that bad in times of crisis.
@@remyllebeau77 True. You don't need to see someone under life-threatening stress to get to know them, but if your only interactions are in the form of light, shallow conversations and pleasantries you'll never get to see what they're really like. I'm starting to suspect this is why so many people (especially men) don't have many friends nowadays. Most people tend to avoid needless stress (or people who cause needless stress) and if there's no practical need to put up with the bad parts of someone's personality, the far easier solution is to ghost them and move on.
19:25 Deflation is the value of money going up relative to other goods, not down, either due to contraction of the money supply or increase of productivity.
Thank you, I came to make the same comment. Inflation is also a spiritual failure. It's when the powerful class becomes corrupt and extracts faster than the rate of increasing productivity. This destroys society, then things crash, new power takes over. When they succeed, they become proud, the people become soft and here we go again. It's a moral test that we never pass, but we can make good times last longer if we can somehow develop a more virtuous culture
Just one note to be a contrarion, deflation should mean my banked dollars buy more stuff, but what if we're a severely indebted society with 30 year mortgages? That means we have to work harder (make more stuff) to get the dollars you need to get out of the hole. Inflation or deflation, your personal value goes down. Both are crises. Stability is always the best policy for the market inputs and outputs to autocorrect for real value.
@dominicp.2702 not contrarian at all. that is the trap we are in. But calling it stability is wrong because it's not sustainable. It is inevitably catastrophic and the longer we go the worse the end will be. We just push the problem out and it gets bigger and more dangerous. When we started playing with banking black magic we immediately started to have booms and busts. It's one of the things that contributed to the start of the civil war. Now we are at a point where the system needs to rob the people so hard to keep itself from collapsing that it can't bullshit us much longer and the elite know it. That's why they have become so paranoid and hostile. At some point an addict isn't really trying to get high anymore, they are just pushing out the inevitable consequences of their habit. Desperation and projection. At some point you have to face withdrawal or die
@dominicp.2702 not contrarian at all, that's the trap we are in. Once you build a debt "economy" honest money will break you. But it's not stability and it's not sustainable. The question is do we let the parasite keep getting bigger or deal with the pain of tearing the thing off our backs while we still have the strength

But, if we survive, make it through, and persevere and fight, we can change everything. Literally everything. It is going to take strong men and those who are awake to see the clear changes that need to be made.

31:05 "They start a civil war to avoid that. I'm so glad none of those situations apply to us now. We're so blessed!". 😀 Best sarcasm ever! I'm 71 years old. I consider you to be one of the most important intellectuals of your generation. You need to write a book that will get you onto a few dozen talk shows and podcasts.
Avoid the talk shows like Dr Phil, since they always try to shut down people with an unpopular viewpoint (see how Rollo Tomassi was treated when he went on there; ask him a question then cut him off as soon as he tries to answer).
Let's not stroke his ego so hard. He's repeating what intellectuals have been saying for many many years. But said intellectuals also haven't been "trending" or "popular" in just as many years. Remember there was a time where philosophers would debate each other in real time with the writing of new books and arguments. what not. Now we have Twitter, lol.

Society demands that we are childish, silly, say fuck, irresponsible and carefree. I was an immigrant kid in Canada in 1990s just came from a collapsed USSR where we survived hitmen, shitting in a hole in the ground, lack of food, no running water etc. And I was serious, responsible, mature, just wanted to get on with being an adult at 10 years old and become that yuppie computer guy or a manual labourer, something. But everyone just demanded that I be silly, please say fuck, you plan too much, you're too serious, you're like an old man.

Rudyard, I've been cursed with similar intuition. Since I was 15, I've voraciously kept attuned to modern political and social dynamics. Over time, this intuition seemed to emerge from some kind of subconscious processing of all that information. I can feel the Zeitgeist. I can almost sense the pain that people are enduring. How it feels... You're resting on a warm sandy beach -- gazing into a friendly forthyey ocean... then you witness the ominous retreat of the waterline. It recedes beyond the low tide boundary... exposing sea floor that hasn't seen dry air for thousands of years. More and more, sea relinquishes its hold over the land until it vanishes over the horizon. Anyone who witnesses such a distortion of nature may become alarmed. Anyone who knows what's coming knows there's no way to escape it -- you can't run fast enough, you can't drive fast enough, you won't reach a plane in time. Beyond the horizon a beast the size of a mountain and growing larger is rushing at your sandy beach at the speed of an airliner. Nobody can stop it. That's what it feels like. An inescapable fate that others don't see or won't see. My intuition has been signalling this off and on over the years based on the accumulated results of recent years. C19 ended any doubt. What's coming is an economic collapse at least as great as the Great Depression. I don't think there will be a civil war, but there will be "times of lead". I wasn't sure if it was going to take 10, 15, or 20 years, but now the reckoning's at hand. The years have taught many of us who's lying, who's telling the truth, and the shape of things to come. I hear the talking heads in the MSM but I decode it into real-speak -- the implication and the subtext. Vile plans were indicated recently when they quietly authorized d***ly force within the nation against citizens. That's prelude to martial law -- and worse. Then there's the mass-casualty event they've created policies for -- if politicians "don't serve out their term naturally" they make a list of successors... five names long. There are 2 reasons for this: the ostensible reason is to ensure continuity of government. The real reason is that those on that list are the unelected people the admin state desires to have those offices. It's simply prep for a coup. Our TLAs can get compliance of the person currently serving, or "assign" the next one. There are many vectors of concern: - They likely won't let the T-man take office. I see very few routes to that occurring. They'll declare the election invalid and judges will go along with it. If Americans have any will remaining, hundreds of thousands will march -- and several pounds of metal heavier. I'll wager some current or ex military probably already have addresses. Judges will need military protection. This won't end well for anyone. They'll use it to decalre martial law if it hasn't been declared already. - If they let him take office, they'll have pros remove him the old fashioned way. - That continuity of government list is an obvious ploy to skirt the democratic process. It's illegitimate. - There is a guaranteed economic crisis that's coming in 1 or 2 years at the outside. Too many numbers are moving too fast. We're near a critical point in the curve where the exponential nature of the crisis becomes apparent... soon to be felt by all of us. The e-leet already know this. They set the house a-blaze to rob it and are now stealing the silverware on their way out. I saw the economic problems coming 20 years ago. The scope of the political ones only became fully apparent during C19. Everything that occurred since has been trivally predictable. I saw the mandatory pokety-pokes coming as soon as they announced a fixxine. They exposed corruption at every level of government by using their brute force coercion. I'm not so worried about the current coercion, I'm worried about the signal it sent when they began it. It felt like a desperation move as predicate for dire plans ahead for the public. If they'd go that far that fast, the next leap is going to be bru-tal. A ruling class doesn't do that unless it has very dark plans in store -- and soon. Their political moves came so suddenly that it triggered a red alert to anyone who knows how to extrapolate meaning from the broad actions taken by a known player. Most of these tactics are known and have been done before. I call it The Weimar Protocol -- they're in lockstep with the Weimar republic but this time, they handled the errors from the last time. This time they compromised almost every institution before they pushed the button. The goal is the same though they cloak it in other names. You can call it State Capitalism but it amounts to the same thing: com-u-nism. I was once so innocent -- I didnt' think they'd try that after so many failures... but the com-unists are anything but sensible. Before 2016, I thought all this talk of the reds was conspiracy theory. Now, the conspiracy facts are staring us in the face -- with fevered mad eyes and rainbow hair. C19 taught a lot of us that all the conspiracies we heard were true. Why did we hear them? Because the media chose those particular ones to debunk. Their debunk is their confession. The man who unearthed most of them was removed. There are only a few narrow routes out of this and it will be a small miracle of fate and human will if we make it. I guess you could call it the Golden Path -- if we take from Frank Herbert's masterpiece -- his Dune series. I read Dune when I was around 14 or 15 I think. I identified with Paul because I could see where things were going and I could tell what people really thought. When you know what people are really thinking of you, it makes you avoid most of them. There are dividends when you can see the near and far future. Sometimes it pays off on investments, sometimes you can tell your family to buy toilet paper because you have a feeling that people are going to haord it. My problem is that my personal circumstances never quite allow me to keep my head above water for long. My intuition of investments always comes when I'm not liquid and can't become so. But it richly profited richly those who listened. I profited some, but not enough to escape the rat race. At minimum, we're going to endure an economic depression like none seen in living memory. There are some who could navigate this labyrinth of future possibilities, but very few. It requires values, virtues, and principles. Most of those who lead possess none. If those people stay in power, even they will lose everything. When you don't possess the capacity to defer gratification, you foul your own nest and consume the future to feed the present. "... wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it." -- Matthew 7:13 End of essay -- not that you asked.

This has worked great for the past 50 years, it can't fail now."

I would argue that the reason the US is not already in a hot civil war is because of food and biochemistry. Never before in history has food been so cheap that it's cheaper to burn actual food, grain, to stay warm in the winter than to burn sawdust pellets, a waste product. Pellet stove pellets cost a little over $300 a ton locally, check your local grain prices for verification. Specifically, check animal food variants of grain. Our knowledge of biochemistry is also unprecedented. We are also able to manipulate people's behavior by manipulating their biochemistry by manipulating the chemistry of their food and possibly the frequency of light a person is exposed to. At no time in known history have we been able to do this before now, so we are probably breaking the pattern, but probably only to a point. I suspect the tyranny of patterns will ultimately dominate.
I think the collapse is already happening but it starts slow with things like the war in Ukraine and then it will accelerate through job automation, and from there it will go really fast until the first ship lands on Mars, I think that will be a reset point much like the discovery of the American continent was to the European societies, it's a sudden promise of untold wealth and freedom from the previous system, thus the revolutionary people will do the logical thing which is pack their things and colonize new lands until we reach a new saturation point a few centuries from now.

Rudyard you missed at least thirty critical years of actually being alive and paying attention. If you had been alive during the seventies, you would know that was the decade of dislocation, when the cracks in the postwar liberal establishment (signified by a workable understanding between the rich and the working class) became impossible to ignore. The eighties were the decade when the right started to "panic" but their response was to reorient (no pun intended) our world from Europe and the Atlantic to China/the Far East and the Pacific. Reagan is the first President to signify this transition. Republicans and Democrats alike are guilty for deindustrialization. Trump is nothing more than a measure of how fed up all of us are. Gen X grew up expecting good jobs in factories IF we didn't get a degree that automatically made us upper middle class. And we came of age with a sinking feeling that we had been had. Duped. Rooked.

My wager is the crisis of 2020 his the US in the late 2020's or early 2030's when social security runs out or is about to run out of money. The Federal government has thus far been able pretend that everything's fine, but social security is the sacred cow of the most important voting block in the US. The uni-party has to make an impossible decision between allowing the benefit cuts to go ahead (loosing face in the process), jacking up taxes on an overburdened population (mass political descent), or going back to inflating to inflationary money printing (also mass political descent). Something will have to change by that point.

I love when you point out how school kids are basically expected to work 13 hours a day. It's a point I try to make, but it's so normalized nobody cares. You're right. Kids have roughly 7 hours of school, a couple hours of homework/studying, and then a few more hours for extracurriculars and/or sports.
I was only in high school band and we put almost 20+ hours a week into practice before and after school. In terms of just sheer hours worked, no adult even comes close.
13 hours a day from K - 12.... then they get out having no practical skill, zero financial literacy and are barely worth minimum wage....
Nothing to look into there, itl end up fine, probably
I absolutely agree that we suck up way too much of the kids' time in school - and most of their time in school is spent doing nonsense. Not the least just shuffling around from one class to another - which they're only in for an hour or so, hardly enough time to really dive into anything.
But you're exagerrating a bit... Who actually did hours of homework every day? A few kids did maybe, but the laaaarge majority of us didn't. I work way more hours as a young man than I ever did in school. But maybe working long hours in school is what gets you the sort of career where you don't work long hours? I dunno.
But there's no doubt that modern schooling is an abomimation. Sadly these days if the kids aren't in school they'll be on ipads or playing video games - but 100 years ago, when the moms were all at home in their communities during the day, kids spent a lot more time out in their communities. We don't even have communities anymore in the way that existed a century ago.
Get real😂 Public school in the US is an absolute joke! Now a good college prep school or Catholic school is top notch, providing an actual educational experience, but public schools are an utter joke. I worked about 25-30 hours a week after transferring from a Catholic school to public school in my junior year of HS. Impo school kids don't work anywhere near hard enough. Everyone should work, life is work.

Living in a British town which has doubled population in 20 years and now the English are a minority and most people I know who were actually born here are stuck in homelessness or borderline homelessness, I can imagine what it will look like is that the ethnic enclaves on each street will fight all the rest. The locals, who are disarmed, demoralised, childless and oppressed while being told they hold all the power and blamed for everything, will be wiped out, while ancient cultural grievances from the rest of the world will play out on the streets in each town.

"When you have more workers competing for the same job, wages get worse".
I'd like to say it's amazing how big the overlap is between people complaining about wage stagnation and people who think open borders are a good idea (aka people holding two completely conflicting ideals and not willing to give up one of them when made aware of it), but very little surprises me at this point.
Modern day education has failed
Orwellian doublethink.
I'd like to tell the 1.5B people of china that Americans have done what we could to bring 500M of them out of poverty, by "giving them" 100M of the jobs that were here in the USA then shipped there. 25 years, the prime of my life, were spent having to do something other than manufacturing because all the MBAs ahead of me outsourced those manufacturing jobs, banked that margin and retired early. We were supposed to be happy with service jobs that paid 1/3 less and nobody cared. Still, nobody cares.
Because bottom of the barrel individuals use foreigners to subvert the hierarchy and gain power.
Its felt like for those of us who were 18-22 in 2020, everything fell apart right when life was actually supposed to start for us but im happy im not the only one who feels this way
Was working a good job, saving up for college, and was going to start dating again since my life was more stable and I could meet new people in school. Then I lost my job, everyone was terrified to leave the house, and I had a year of unemployment before I could go to school and the only option was online. I feel like I missed out on a pinnacle year of my life and I’ve spent the last four years in some kind of limbo.
Similar thing happen to those of use that became adults as things fell apart in 2008. I was in the army at the time so I dodged the labor market imploding unlike post people I graduated with. So many of them ended up stunted.
Yep, I graduated college in 2020. Also caught a DV charge at the end of that year because my girlfriend at the time called the police because I was acting suicidally (was all sorts of messed up mentally at the time, on SSRIs, anti-anxieties, smoking weed all the time, was black-out drunk during this incident -- I've since cleaned up massively). The cops decided that me behaving suicidally was actually me "menacing" her and arrested and charged me -- despite the fact that she had no desire for that to happen and was truly just concerned for my well-being. Never laid a finger on her, there was no physical altercation whatsoever. Because I'd never offended before (or after for that matter) they gave me a plea deal that had my criminal record sealed after 1.5 years of multiple sessions of court-ordered therapy per week and two random drug tests a month (they tested for everything including alcohol). The worst part of it was the group therapy, we were all treated like wife-beaters even though to my knowledge every single other man there was like me -- charged with non-violent crimes of a domestic nature. If you were actually physically violent, you didn't get the parole and therapy, you got prison (and rightfully so!). I remember there were quite a few older men there that clearly got accused by spiteful (ex) wives as a way to get a leg up in divorce proceedings. In fact, there was only one guy there out of like 8 or 9 that actually belonged, he poured some kind of mixture into a girl's car's gas tank to try to destroy the car's engine as revenge for something she did -- can't remember what. The domestic violence - industrial complex is real. Never, EVER, drink heavily with a woman. Doesn't matter how long you've known her or how much you trust her. All it takes is for her to make ONE call to ruin your life. It doesn't matter if there's no evidence of any wrong-doing on your part, all they need is her word. And they barely even need that, because as was in my case, they will happily "interpret" what she says to them and after that she won't be able to stop them, as they'll just claim that she's only afraid of you retaliating against her. So just keep that in mind, that any woman that you have ANY sort of relationship or friendship with beyond strangers can destroy your life at any time, any place by pressing 4 buttons and saying a couple of sentences.
Anyways, that was a good splash of cold water in my face during the first year of my life in the "real world" after finishing school. Covid and dealing with the case at the same time. I'm just a lucky guy, I guess.

I registered as an independent out of highschool because I was never a fan of the government. Just form my own curiosity and studying I had been given no reason to place my trust in the apparatus.
But I think it was 2008, when I got ahold of a Ron Paul pamphlet that things started to turn for me. I was very curious about why he had raw milk in his list of things he wanted to get done. Ended up looking up the raw milk industry and wound up in a rabbit hole that led to so much insane information I had to take a step back for a while.
My dislike of the government slowly into pure distrust. By the time Trump came onto the scene I was already well and fully redpilled and out of the matrix. I saw him as the third party option I'd always hoped for. I got to watch much like you in real time as people lost their minds over lies. 2020 was like the dumpster caught on fire. I'm black so I openly and loudly called out all the racist division as it happened. From Collin Capernick to George Floyd. I've gotten some backlash, but some of my family has come around as things revealed themselves.

It only destroy wealth screwing the capital flow structure, like how much wealth was destroyed in the 2007 housing bubble? Trillions burned, millions or billions of working hours wasted, thousands of tons of material, millions of kwh spent, etc building houses that no one could afford so no one lived in them, instead of all that time, human, monetary, material, etc capital being invested and spent in things that people actually wanted or could afford at the time. Now applies this to everything else being propped by money printing just to crash and burn, it's insane the amount of wealth that we destroy. The fact that we aren't already starving to death is a testament on how good modern real capitalism running under the corporativism/fascism and democratic socialism is at dealing with inefficiencies. Specially the pandemic, I'm shocked that the market was able to feed everyone and not completely collapse with bureaucrats literally trying to shutdown the economy entirely.

Generational wealth has also stopped here, as I see the Boomers as largely psychopaths and narcissists. I have never owned a home, that dream is dead.

It's gonna take a generation at the very least; if we look at previous societal collapses then the women will have to smarten up and re-build men's trust in them before any repairing/rebuilding can be done. Based on historical collapses though I think it'll be closer to 50+ years for the tyranny that certain types of people are trying to install to collapse.
Unpopular viewpoint: Women control the direction of society because they control men's incentive to go out and do the hard things that women can't (or won't) do in order to build and maintain societies.

We want neither inflation or deflation, but a sound-money system like gold naturally tends towards an equilibrium in exchange rates.

@@JohnDorian-j7x Not without seeing them in crisis mode, no. Like he says in the video, you never know what you or somebody else is capable of until you push them past the point where social and cultural barriers break down and natural instincts take over.
@@jasonwolfe4205 Your Character and your virtues come out under pressure. The biolgy and instinct is the same for most pepole. We used to joke that all the harshness in the Army built character as a way to laugh it off. I now know that is correct. Virtue and character are built with practice and are seen clearly under pressure and danger.
The Greeks learnt this thousands of years ago and Christinas used to teach this as well. Only in the modern world is this not known to the average person.
I think most people would settle for having to live with someone to see their true self. Inconsiderate loud noises, not cleaning up after themselves, filling the trash can but never emptying it. We don't need to go far enough to see if they would stoop to cannibalism or something that bad in times of crisis.
@@remyllebeau77 True. You don't need to see someone under life-threatening stress to get to know them, but if your only interactions are in the form of light, shallow conversations and pleasantries you'll never get to see what they're really like.
I'm starting to suspect this is why so many people (especially men) don't have many friends nowadays. Most people tend to avoid needless stress (or people who cause needless stress) and if there's no practical need to put up with the bad parts of someone's personality, the far easier solution is to ghost them and move on.

19:25 Deflation is the value of money going up relative to other goods, not down, either due to contraction of the money supply or increase of productivity.
Thank you, I came to make the same comment.
Inflation is also a spiritual failure. It's when the powerful class becomes corrupt and extracts faster than the rate of increasing productivity. This destroys society, then things crash, new power takes over. When they succeed, they become proud, the people become soft and here we go again. It's a moral test that we never pass, but we can make good times last longer if we can somehow develop a more virtuous culture
Thank you. I came here to make the same comment.
Just one note to be a contrarion, deflation should mean my banked dollars buy more stuff, but what if we're a severely indebted society with 30 year mortgages? That means we have to work harder (make more stuff) to get the dollars you need to get out of the hole. Inflation or deflation, your personal value goes down. Both are crises. Stability is always the best policy for the market inputs and outputs to autocorrect for real value.
@dominicp.2702 not contrarian at all. that is the trap we are in. But calling it stability is wrong because it's not sustainable. It is inevitably catastrophic and the longer we go the worse the end will be. We just push the problem out and it gets bigger and more dangerous.
When we started playing with banking black magic we immediately started to have booms and busts. It's one of the things that contributed to the start of the civil war. Now we are at a point where the system needs to rob the people so hard to keep itself from collapsing that it can't bullshit us much longer and the elite know it. That's why they have become so paranoid and hostile. At some point an addict isn't really trying to get high anymore, they are just pushing out the inevitable consequences of their habit. Desperation and projection. At some point you have to face withdrawal or die
@dominicp.2702 not contrarian at all, that's the trap we are in. Once you build a debt "economy" honest money will break you. But it's not stability and it's not sustainable. The question is do we let the parasite keep getting bigger or deal with the pain of tearing the thing off our backs while we still have the strength

Have you looked into something called the male sedation hypothesis? It's the idea that adult corn, video games, and drugs are sedating men so nothing ever happens. You always talk about why something is going to happen but never address the factors that block things happening.
That may work on a segment of our population, but seen way too many people's fully stockpiled basements to believe that would work for the vast majority.. Do you not have a hill you'd die (or kill) on?
That would make sense if they weren't putting cringe ass dei stuff into all the things men enjoy. It's like they're poking the bear
That stuff just makes them worse. If you want to sedate the male population give them families to raise.

Rudy’s Bildungsroman has been a beautiful thing to see from a young man. We’ve watched this man grow from a young idealist to a wise old man in real time. Proud of you, my friend.
My history professor in high school used to tell that when you are knee deep into a crisis, you never notice it and used to say that if in 400AD you would have asked a Roman for how long the empire would have lasted, they would have said "forever" because for the people that one was what the world always had been.
Society demands that we are childish, silly, say fuck, irresponsible and carefree.

But everyone just demanded that I be silly, please say fuck, you plan too much, you're too serious, you're like an old man.

@whatifalthist, I'm in my 50s, and you are Breath of Fresh Air. I've been following you from almost the start, and recently(the past 5yrs), you are able articulate most of my geopolitical ruminations of the past 40years, and add new thoughts to consider. THANKS! Keep up the Great work.
Rudyard, I've been cursed with similar intuition. Since I was 15, I've voraciously kept attuned to modern political and social dynamics. Over time, this intuition seemed to emerge from some kind of subconscious processing of all that information. I can feel the Zeitgeist. I can almost sense the pain that people are enduring.
How it feels...
You're resting on a warm sandy beach -- gazing into a friendly forthyey ocean... then you witness the ominous retreat of the waterline. It recedes beyond the low tide boundary... exposing sea floor that hasn't seen dry air for thousands of years. More and more, sea relinquishes its hold over the land until it vanishes over the horizon. Anyone who witnesses such a distortion of nature may become alarmed. Anyone who knows what's coming knows there's no way to escape it -- you can't run fast enough, you can't drive fast enough, you won't reach a plane in time. Beyond the horizon a beast the size of a mountain and growing larger is rushing at your sandy beach at the speed of an airliner. Nobody can stop it.
That's what it feels like. An inescapable fate that others don't see or won't see. My intuition has been signalling this off and on over the years based on the accumulated results of recent years. C19 ended any doubt. What's coming is an economic collapse at least as great as the Great Depression. I don't think there will be a civil war, but there will be "times of lead".
I wasn't sure if it was going to take 10, 15, or 20 years, but now the reckoning's at hand. The years have taught many of us who's lying, who's telling the truth, and the shape of things to come. I hear the talking heads in the MSM but I decode it into real-speak -- the implication and the subtext. Vile plans were indicated recently when they quietly authorized d***ly force within the nation against citizens. That's prelude to martial law -- and worse.
Then there's the mass-casualty event they've created policies for -- if politicians "don't serve out their term naturally" they make a list of successors... five names long. There are 2 reasons for this: the ostensible reason is to ensure continuity of government. The real reason is that those on that list are the unelected people the admin state desires to have those offices. It's simply prep for a coup. Our TLAs can get compliance of the person currently serving, or "assign" the next one.
There are many vectors of concern:
- They likely won't let the T-man take office. I see very few routes to that occurring. They'll declare the election invalid and judges will go along with it. If Americans have any will remaining, hundreds of thousands will march -- and several pounds of metal heavier. I'll wager some current or ex military probably already have addresses. Judges will need military protection. This won't end well for anyone. They'll use it to decalre martial law if it hasn't been declared already.
- If they let him take office, they'll have pros remove him the old fashioned way.
- That continuity of government list is an obvious ploy to skirt the democratic process. It's illegitimate.
- There is a guaranteed economic crisis that's coming in 1 or 2 years at the outside. Too many numbers are moving too fast. We're near a critical point in the curve where the exponential nature of the crisis becomes apparent... soon to be felt by all of us. The e-leet already know this. They set the house a-blaze to rob it and are now stealing the silverware on their way out.
I saw the economic problems coming 20 years ago. The scope of the political ones only became fully apparent during C19. Everything that occurred since has been trivally predictable. I saw the mandatory pokety-pokes coming as soon as they announced a fixxine. They exposed corruption at every level of government by using their brute force coercion. I'm not so worried about the current coercion, I'm worried about the signal it sent when they began it. It felt like a desperation move as predicate for dire plans ahead for the public. If they'd go that far that fast, the next leap is going to be bru-tal.
A ruling class doesn't do that unless it has very dark plans in store -- and soon. Their political moves came so suddenly that it triggered a red alert to anyone who knows how to extrapolate meaning from the broad actions taken by a known player. Most of these tactics are known and have been done before. I call it The Weimar Protocol -- they're in lockstep with the Weimar republic but this time, they handled the errors from the last time. This time they compromised almost every institution before they pushed the button. The goal is the same though they cloak it in other names. You can call it State Capitalism but it amounts to the same thing: com-u-nism.
I was once so innocent -- I didnt' think they'd try that after so many failures... but the com-unists are anything but sensible. Before 2016, I thought all this talk of the reds was conspiracy theory. Now, the conspiracy facts are staring us in the face -- with fevered mad eyes and rainbow hair. C19 taught a lot of us that all the conspiracies we heard were true. Why did we hear them? Because the media chose those particular ones to debunk. Their debunk is their confession. The man who unearthed most of them was removed.
There are only a few narrow routes out of this and it will be a small miracle of fate and human will if we make it. I guess you could call it the Golden Path -- if we take from Frank Herbert's masterpiece -- his Dune series.
I read Dune when I was around 14 or 15 I think. I identified with Paul because I could see where things were going and I could tell what people really thought. When you know what people are really thinking of you, it makes you avoid most of them.
There are dividends when you can see the near and far future. Sometimes it pays off on investments, sometimes you can tell your family to buy toilet paper because you have a feeling that people are going to haord it. My problem is that my personal circumstances never quite allow me to keep my head above water for long. My intuition of investments always comes when I'm not liquid and can't become so. But it richly profited richly those who listened. I profited some, but not enough to escape the rat race.
At minimum, we're going to endure an economic depression like none seen in living memory. There are some who could navigate this labyrinth of future possibilities, but very few. It requires values, virtues, and principles. Most of those who lead possess none. If those people stay in power, even they will lose everything. When you don't possess the capacity to defer gratification, you foul your own nest and consume the future to feed the present.

I would argue that the reason the US is not already in a hot civil war is because of food and biochemistry. Never before in history has food been so cheap that it's cheaper to burn actual food, grain, to stay warm in the winter than to burn sawdust pellets, a waste product. Pellet stove pellets cost a little over $300 a ton locally, check your local grain prices for verification. Specifically, check animal food variants of grain. Our knowledge of biochemistry is also unprecedented. We are also able to manipulate people's behavior by manipulating their biochemistry by manipulating the chemistry of their food and possibly the frequency of light a person is exposed to. At no time in known history have we been able to do this before now, so we are probably breaking the pattern, but probably only to a point. I suspect the tyranny of patterns will ultimately dominate.
That just means it's a Technocratic Nightmare that never ends.
Loss is Infinite.
Years ago I was exploring getting a pellet stove and came to the same conclusion. Sickening, but true. One can burn corn to keep warm.
People are also fed literal trash and industrial waste so they don’t have as much energy as they used to
I think the collapse is already happening but it starts slow with things like the war in Ukraine and then it will accelerate through job automation, and from there it will go really fast until the first ship lands on Mars, I think that will be a reset point much like the discovery of the American continent was to the European societies, it's a sudden promise of untold wealth and freedom from the previous system, thus the revolutionary people will do the logical thing which is pack their things and colonize new lands until we reach a new saturation point a few centuries from now.

Rudyard you missed at least thirty critical years of actually being alive and paying attention. If you had been alive during the seventies, you would know that was the decade of dislocation, when the cracks in the postwar liberal establishment (signified by a workable understanding between the rich and the working class) became impossible to ignore. The eighties were the decade when the right started to "panic" but their response was to reorient (no pun intended) our world from Europe and the Atlantic to China/the Far East and the Pacific. Reagan is the first President to signify this transition. Republicans and Democrats alike are guilty for deindustrialization. Trump is nothing more than a measure of how fed up all of us are.
