Paul Craig Roberts (PCR) coming in with another hot take about the End Times of the American Empire (emphasis mine):
America Is Entering End Times
Does anyone remember the 2020 presidential campaign? Trump campaigned widely and had massive audiences. Enthusiasm was everywhere. Biden ventured out of the basement a few times and no one attended his campaign rallies. Trump got more votes in the 2020 election than he got in the 2016 election, but Biden got more votes than any president in history. Somehow the people elected an invisible candidate.
In the swing states vote counting was stopped in the middle of the night while truck loads of boxes arrived, some from out of state, in Democrat controlled vote counting centers. The votes were almost entirely for Biden, and when counting resumed, Trump’s lead disappeared.
The same thing is going to happen this November. Trump supporters, clearly a majority of legitimate voters, think Trump is going to win. Trump voters are energized and enthusiasm is high. Has anyone seen a Trump-sized turnout for Kamala? Trump will again win as he did in 2020, but Democrats count swing state votes, and Kamala will “win.”
As I have reported, the presstitutes are busy at work building Kamala into a formidable candidate who is in the lead, especially in the swing states. Fake polls are being reported that Kamala is the favorite. No one has explained why American voters want open borders, war with Russia and Iran, LGBT+ celebrated and normalized, white school children taught that they and their parents are racists, and that they could be born into the wrong body.
As the Democrats have made completely clear, this is what Americans are voting for if they vote for Kamala. Unless the American people are further gone that I think, a majority are not voting for Kamala.
She will win anyway.
Biden had to go because the Democrats knew he could not run a close enough race for them to be able to again steal the election. The fact that not even the Democrats wanted Kamala last month has been consigned to the Memory Hole. Kamala is being media-created as one of the strongest presidential candidates in American history.
Republican fundraisers themselves are playing into the Democrats’ election steal. I get numerous fundraising appeals–even from the usually astute Marjorie Taylor Greene–that Trump might lose because Democrats are raising more money. The opportunistic Republican fundraisers by emphasizing Trump’s possible loss thus support the propaganda spun by the presstitutes that the race is so close that Trump can lose. Only Republicans can be this stupid. With Republican fundraisers agreeing with the presstitutes that the election is a toss up, the election is perfectly set to be stolen.
And it will be. In the swing states the election theft methods have been legalized.
Just as Republicans and the American people accepted the thefts of the 2020 and 2022 elections, they will accept the theft of the 2024 election. There will be no civil war or anything of the kind. The American people will have been taught that there is nothing they can do to regain their control over government.

Go read the rest of the piece if it caught your attention.
You know, I can’t help but agree with him on the overall election argument, at least. How short are people’s memories? They literally stole the last two elections. What makes anyone think this one won’t be just as rigged?
I’m not even saying not to vote. I actually encourage voting under certain circumstances. All I am saying is just don’t get your hopes up.
The only other part of voting disagreement I have is on PCR’s assurance that Kamala will for sure win. That depends on if the deep state actually wants her to win. They might favor Trump to win, which is certainly a possibility. They know who they want to win; we don’t.
‘Who knows and who cares?’ are my thoughts on it. Either way, the enemy wins. This election is a no-go. I won’t be wasting my hope on it.
I have also been hearing a lot more about the “civil war” stuff lately, especially from clearly evil actors like Musk. But reality tells us that there won’t be a civil war. The conditions are not set for such an event here—We are still far too prosperous and stable. We need some hard times before that even becomes a possibility. No one is going to risk their life rioting over just another (third) stolen election. Hell, we barely even had protests after the leading presidential candidate got shot in the head. Good luck with your civil war.
However, all of these are minor points. Where I strongly disagree with PCR is in his solution, which is to run and hide. Toward the end of the piece, he says:
My advice to young white heterosexual males is to get out of America while you still can.
This is the same defeatist, ridiculous argument that other individualists with pathological cowardice harbor. “Run away! Leave your people, your heritage, and all your legacy behind! Just so you can live another few years…maybe”.
This loser mindset is (truly) deplorable and lacking an eternal Christian perspective or even a secular but civilizational perspective:
- Christians should be seeking the eternal, not the temporal. This short stint of life here is fleeting and vain. We should not seek to get a few extra years at the expense of our national brothers and sisters—We should fight for them instead. It is a duty of ours to self-sacrifice, no matter what the heresy of modern individualism tells us.
- But even from a non-Christian “civilization-focused” mindset, this is a retarded take. If your civilization goes down, your kids suffer and you also will as a deracinated White man living under a foreign nation. The reality is that the only condition where you are truly left alone is one where you fight and win.
Individualism has distorted both the civilization and the eternal mindset. It’s just a bunch of weak men trying so desperately to live their degenerate, self-focused lives for (minorly) longer than someone else. Even though this life is so short for us all. Good luck and enjoy your extra 1-20 years while you watch as the civilization which gave you everything burns. You and your progeny will not be rewarded, honored, or ever cherished for such as a cataclysmic failure that YOU caused.
Thankfully, our ancestors did not harbor this run-away-individualism mindset that so many White men and women have today, or we would have been decimated centuries ago. We are at risk of that now because of these jackoffs.
Don’t be a ‘you-know-what’. Stay and fight. Fight until the end. Earn your crown for the next life. This life is short; make it count by doing something that actually matters.

Running away to a foreign country to live out your days as an individualist recluse with no purpose or people is not honorable: It is pathetic.
I’m so tired of listening to this hyper-individualist society try to justify its weaknesses as “the smart thing to do”. Or worse, to act like it is the only option.
Letting two-thousand years of our people’s heritage get engulfed in flames will never be the correct answer. It is only the answer of the weak.
And the reason why we are in this mess in the first place? Because of weak men like them.

I wonder if I.D. readers who are voting for Trump are aware that he actually donated to Commie-La’s attorney general campaign in California. Is a person naive enough to believe his political philosophy/view of the role of the federal government has changed since the Donald Trump Foundation donated $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation in 2009? He should change his ‘America First’ slogan to ‘Israel First.’ He entertained the mass murderer Netanyahu at Mar A Lago after Netanyahu got 50 + standing ovations from the stooges in the District of Corruption speech on July 24. He and Commie-La both revere the liar, tyrant and war criminal Lincoln. Your choices in the upcoming election are Republican-big government liar or Democrat-big government liar. Pick your poison. And yes, Kaisar, I’ll stay home and fight. I might meet the same fate as Vicki Weaver, but I’ll stay and fight.
Trump is a great man simply because he, by simply being Trump, tore the curtain away from the Permanent Government. However, he is ideologically what used to be called a Main Street Republican. I grew up among those people, and they were decent folks. However, they believed most of the Americanist nonsense, including the idea of the Propositional Nation.
Yes, agree. Most of the Right still clings to Old America, even though prog New Amerika has been in charge for forty years, at least.
Pray. Fast. Give alms. For yourselves, your families and your friends.
The Jews must be uneasy. Both Harris and Walz are doctrinaire cultural Marxists who lean pro-Palestinian/anti-Zionist. Trump is a fully committed Zionist. The Jews just might choose him.
“We are still far too prosperous and stable.”
I very much disagree with this, but I do like the article regardless.
My oh my oh my. When will people wake up and figure out that voting is nothing more than Kabuki theater? News flash, it’s always been that way. All this nonsense is to give the illusion of choice and to steal your money. PCR and Kaiser still can’t figure this nugget out, even while mentioning that “each” party is using this fake paradigm to pry donations from their idiot followers. Somehow, they still believe that voting is a thing. Cognitive dissonance or controlled opposition?
Even if your vote did count for something more than farting in the wind, look at the “choices” that are trotted out every time: tiny hat fellator 1 and tiny hat fellator 2. Yes, of course, let’s stick around and fight for something that truly never existed. The USA has never been the freedom machine we’re told it’s been. They’ve run with that myth since 1789. Along with the myth that our founding fathers were something more than self-serving tyrants. They didn’t want freedom for the people, they just wanted to be the tyrants in charge in place of the monarchy.
