We have so many good dudes rotting away because they don't want to get infinite credentials. I could form a team 100 man strong doing factory work desperately needed if the bureaucracy that would freak out even Bismarck would get out of the way. Simple things like military aircraft windshields are things USG cannot get anywhere and has to beg for from a guy who made a treehouse out of it could get done within months. I only say months because I would have to train the guys from scratch but then they would be easily able to get it all done and have production rolling for all time.

Indeed. If we don’t fix this before the older generation who can train passes away, new dark age

Regarding empire, I suspect Americans ought to accept a relative a downgrade in relative world power. If the British in 1914, by analogy, had accepted that they could no longer be the greatest power in the world, they could be in a much better position today. Russia and China have both vastly increased their power and cheap new military technologies threaten sea power, which is America's greatest strength. It may be in time that America is reduced to a hegemon for the western hemisphere.

Also, in the immediate sense, America suffers from crippling internal problems. Whether or not it is possible to maintain global overlordship, has to clean up its own house first.

If the Chinese are allowed to break from the first island chain "just for now" it will be very, very hard to get them back in. I don't think anyone over there has any intention of allowing it. Russia is different, they can be allowed to play with no harm done.

Quite possibly. All I'm saying is that we need to consider the possibility that the things we used to be able to do easily will now prove too costly. Before 1900, Britain could fool around in mainland Europe all it wanted but the worldwars were not worth the price.

Democracy must demotively die demonstrably, as the demon-demos force it inimitable-is-is. And God gave us the life breath referrendum yesterdays to relieve us of this ontological madness.

Thermidor comes on board, or else >%^>

I once read that when an empire collapses, it can be restored by the descendants of the frontier elites. Margraves, far enough from the center of power to be corrupted by court politics, and also far enough to have a power base independent of said court.

Empowering the modern equivalent of margraves (future Musks?) should be IMO the number one priority of a Thermidorian reaction.

Neoreactionary Thermodorian theory is so stupid, except insofar as every major leap leftward in American politics ends up producing a mini "small T" thermidorian reaction. Reagan was the Thermidor against the 60s after they removed Nixon for smelling like a genuine reactionary. It doesn't mean this is THE Thermidorian reaction, as if the French Revolution is going to exactly repeat itself.

Trump is being installed as the Zionist candidate, end of story. There might be some individual "Thermidorian elites" like Musk backing him, but the power behind the throne of Trump 2024 is Zionism. I don't know how this is even debatable. Trump 2024 is the most extreme pro-Jew and pro-Zionist candidate in American history. They want young white men to enlist in the military again, they want to shore up the Evangelical Zionist plantation, and they want right wing jew noticing to stop and for right wingers to get back on the voting planation. All of these are aided by getting Trump, who is already a proven do-nothing coward who backstabs his base, back in there.

Neoreaction has a strange aversion to mentioning Jews. The Godfather of Neoreaction is Jewish, and he conveniently refuses to notice any problems (race, women, jews) outside of his pure santized theory. The "Jim's blog" guy, who is almost certainly a Jew himself, even does the "JOO JOO JOO" JIDF thing people who do too much Jew noticing (he's forced to allow a tiny amount), and then he creates a strawman asserting that you are not actually a reactionary but rather a "socialist Nazi" because you also notice that Jews control everything (these things are not mutually exclusive).

What exactly does Zionism mean to you? The liberal US Jewish plan to capture and loot Ukraine, and then Russia, pissed Zionists off to no end, because it made Russia cozy up to Iran, weakened US ability to support Israel and counter Iranian influence in the Middle East while making Iran stronger and bolder. Whereas the Kagan, Nuland, Soros Jews do not give a shit about Israel.

Zionist Jews and their American allies tried to get Trump involved in a new war in the Middle East during his first term, and Trump played them like a fiddle. They tried to get Trump to bite on the idea that Iran tried to assassinate him, and obviously Trump is not buying it. Zionists now want Trump to make a deal that preserves Israel for another decade so that they can have war with Iran when America is ready for it. They want America to be great enough to defend Israel. Right now, uneasy allies who will eventually need to be coup’d.

There were no small t Thermidorian reactions in the last hundred years in the US, only the illusion of them. When Nixon was removed from power, they could not imagine that leftism would lead to the inability to manufacture weapons and the unwillingness of men to fight, or if it did, that would happen after history ended and we had world communism and the immantized eschaton. Now, they need actual rightism in order to achieve their goals, or at least rightism as defined in 2020, and they know that, and that is actual big-T Thermidor.

"What exactly does Zionism mean to you?"

I think we all know what Zionism means.

"The liberal US Jewish plan to capture and loot Ukraine, and then Russia, pissed Zionists off to no end, because it made Russia cozy up to Iran, weakened US ability to support Israel and counter Iranian influence in the Middle East while making Iran stronger and bolder"

Right... and now Trump is coming in to wind down Ukraine and wind up Israel's wars. Basically supports what I said.

Also, I missed this before:

"but JD Vance is an actual neoreactionary "

LMAO.

Ask yourself why Zionists need Trump to be brought in and maybe you will realize that such people have less influence than you seemingly believe
