Term limits .....that's funny. Until the vast majority come to grips with the notion that would be the equivalent to a snow ball's chance in hell I'm afraid we are at a standstill. I have been hoping the covid shots might snap them out of it but I dunno. My thoughts are as long as Joe Normie has food and a comfortable environment he will resist all conflict. God forbid the event which finally forces them to embrace reality. It will be devastatingly ugly I am certain of it and we are long overdue.

Can't see the future but there's a lot of potential for 2023 to be the year. I have felt a nice passive period upon us ever since Thanksgiving. I have done my best to enjoy it with people I care about. I don't look for the calm to last much longer than January though. The Zelensky freak show few nights ago was proof positive things are getting ready to escalate. The Neocons are going all in. Could have easily began to divert attention away from Russia/Ukraine along with a face saving proposal for peace.

Unfortunately I believe it is do/die for all the players now and peace isn't on the menu. Hope I'm wrong.

Something needs to trigger the normies to understand that elections don't matter but if they haven't figured it out after 2020 and 2022? I don't know for sure what will push them over the edge. On the other hand, thanks to demographics it doesn't really matter at this point as They will be able to "win" without cheating in the next cycle or two.

"... representative government is over..."

Well it still exists but as a wise man said more observant that myself -- "Think tyranny is bad? A tyrants desires can be sated. Wait till you are represented by fools. There is no rest thereafter."

Retirement, I punched out long ago from the cube farms. Took my retirement in a lump-sum and made some investments that have done well for me. Minor exposure to the markets and plenty of PMs if things go sideways.

As to the administrative bloat. Consider yourself lucky it is only that bad. I work now in the higher ed biz. And $1.4Tn is due and payable for back payments that might never be paid. The bloat is only escalating. At where I educate they hired a person with no idea what the person will do. That leads to the question is the person hired qualified for what might be tasked to accomplish. Does not matter, spend the budget. Its insane. The whole edifice is ripe for a 1980s style hostile takeover and subsequent M&A carve out.

Yes Henry, it is a Wicked Problem indeed. How do you reverse centuries of societal drift away from GOD towards atheism, and its attendant destructive behavior? How do you convince a thoroughly dumbed down populace that they are...dumb? How do you point out to Slobbosaurus Americanus that he is literally incapable of running to the mailbox with his AR? I keep coming back to Pareto's Principle, and the numbers are not encouraging.

What am I doing? Everything I can, within legal limits, and I will not shut up about it.

What do I think will work?

Its actually not hard to herd cats. Just put some food out and the cat herd runs to it.

"To paraphrase Solzhenitsyn, we know they're doing it, they know we know they're doing it right in front of our eyes, we know they know we know, yet they still do it, unashamedly so.

And we've done…. Nothing"

The key to understanding this is to define "we." To this day there are people in Russia (and many more in the West, especially academia) who didn't know the USSR was doing "it". Or they didn't care. "We" know things currently are messed up and getting worse. "They" do not know, and never will. Or wouldn't care if they did.

This is the key to us moving on: realize that there is a significant % of the population that are utterly incapable of waking up, however you want to define waking up. Either they intellectually can't grasp it, or they simply don't care.

Believing that some day the Normie will wake up and save us all is just another Right Wing cope, up there with Q, coloreds suddenly voting Republican, Republicans suddenly voting conservative, Democrats fighting fair, total collapse, etc. etc. None of that is going to happen. It is pure cope.

No one is coming to save us, as is often meme'd on WRSA.

The key is building local organizations to fend off or ignore federal overreach. Political or otherwise. Don't try to win the vote or support of normies with any kind of ideological manifesto. Point out how they are screwed in the ways they care about, and promise to fix problems that they care about. Put some effort into doing those things to continue having influence, then use the rest of your ability to do the things you really wanted to do. Whether the Normies wanted you to do them or not. What are they going to do to you, vote harder next time? They are Normies, after all.

This has been the most successful formula for achieving goals since before politics was called politics.

Those we know or speculate to be involved in the stealing of elections, your local election worker/official all have names, addresses, routines. Physics lessons are in order.

Until individuals are held accountable for their evil actions nothing will change. I, like most, are waiting for that green star cluster. Local lists, local, local, local. Oh yes the meme with Rod is spot on.

I think it's going to be worse, Doc. "They" have been creating a cry-baby victim class that is unlike any other in history. It's amazing how many Karens and Kevins there are, and if you run a quick search on Vid sites there is no shortage of them, either, especially on YT. And the cry-baby victims will lash out in very violent ways when things really go tits-up on us soon.

Ever see the original movie version of the book I Am Legend - The Last Man On Earth with Vincent Price? That's closer to where I see things going with giant burn pits that people just deliver the bodies to every day. And I won't say that, as a society, we don't deserve it.
