The Z-Blog Power Hour: Thinking About Stuff

I said after the last election that there are a dwindling number of ways for disaffected whites to participate in conventional politics. All of them are disruptive. For example, whites can boycott elections, especially targeting Republicans. Elections are about legitimacy and boycotts attack the legitimacy of the election. In a world of outlandish election fraud, the boycott is a useful tool. Even the most craven despots want to believe they have the support of the people.

We may be seeing something like this evolve with Biden. His big speech, which was hyped by both sides of the uniparty, drew 11 million viewers. The YouTube livestream was mostly people taking the time to down vote the feed. YouTube started deleting the down votes, but the ratio was still awful. This was supposed to be The Pretender’s big moment and people either tuned out or mocked it. In the technological age, that is the equivalent of a boycott. It was a virtual boycott.

Of course, apathy is also an explanation. Joe Biden has always been a stupid gasbag, the kind of guy who people avoid at parties. Now he is a doddering old fool with scrambled eggs for brains. Most people are embarrassed to see this ridiculous man performing even more ridiculous spectacles. White people tend not to enjoy seeing someone humiliate themselves. Fremdschamen is a real thing. It is possible the lack of interest is driven by a sense of shame.

Even so, the total lack of interest in Biden must be worrisome. There are two clear pillars of the current regime. One is they are defending democracy from insurrectionist white supremacists. This myth is so important to them they even made Biden compare January 6 to the Civil War. The other is that Biden is the great unifier of the people, a modern day Lincoln. Not all of the people. Like Lincoln, Biden would like to murder half the white people, but he is still wildly popular.

This summer the regime will try to stage some fake patriotic protests in Washington to keep the insurrectionist pillar standing. Those Trump rallies this summer will be cast as Nazi party rallies or perhaps the new Klan rally. That will be enough to keep the regime thinking they are in a great struggle with evil. It is remarkable how guys like Trump, despite the rhetoric, end up being tools of the system. The regime needs Trump and right on cue he is going to be there for them.

They cannot fake the lack of interest in Mumbly Joe. They clearly asked YouTube to rig their system to make Biden look popular. The media will keep telling us that Biden is the most admired man on earth. It is really hard to fake popularity and efforts to do usually backfire on the regime. There is always the risk of a Ceaușescu moment. Given the problems in the economy and the ongoing unrest, it is hard to see how they maintain this pillar of the regime. People just do not like Biden very much.

This week I have the usual variety of items in the now standard format. Spreaker has the full show. I am up on Google Play now, so the Android commies can take me along when out disrespecting the country. I am on iTunes, which means the Apple Nazis can listen to me on their Hitler phones. The anarchists can catch me on iHeart Radio. I am now on Deezer, for our European haters and Stitcher for the weirdos. YouTube also has the full podcast. Of course, there is a download link below.
