I’ve been trawling the wilds of X again. In my defense it’s the only way to find out what is actually going on in the rest of the world that the press wishes to hide.
Anyway, I fell into a talk about the reflecting pool where the title was Decay is a Choice. Like this: apparently, as far as I understand (I don’t have the history on hand just now) the story goes like this: the Obama administration spent something like 300 million to have the reflecting pool be “ecologically minded.” Meaning it was either filling from a river or from grey water (I don’t remember which) and it was lined in a “natural” way or some crap. (I honestly can’t remember, though the post I read two weeks ago described what was done in oh so green sounding words, and all sorts of eco-techno nonsense (most eco-techno is nonsense because they don’t understand engineering and don’t know reality from a hole in the ground. They’re frankly iffy on reality beyond wordage.)
On the surface, this was done for ecological and green reasons, and of course all the usual suspects applauded, but what actually happened was that within two weeks — predictably — the reflecting pool was basically open sewage with algae and goose poop. AND THEY LET IT STAY LIKE THAT.
Now you can argue that this was because they couldn’t admit failure. Sure, you could. And it probably was part of it. Heaven knows the Little Man Who Wasn’t There (Obama) was absolutely loathe to admit he might fail/have failed at anything. Or done anything wrong.
But given his not-so-hidden hate-on for our country, you know and I know he got a secret (?) frisson from the fact that the reflecting pool, supposed to reflect a monument to America’s past, was in fact open sewage. In his tiny (not a reflection of intelligence but of pettiness) mind, this reflected the true state of our country and all that jazz. In fact, at the same time they were tearing down monuments to our past and covering others in graffiti.
A post on ex, the one entitled “Decay is a Choice” was in fact hypothesizing that the left does this stuff on purpose.
I know it sounds far-fetched, but I’m sure he’s right. It’s a combination of four things:
1- They’re Marxist who think that wealth is a finite pie and somehow bringing America down will automagically bring everyone else up. (This is the opposite of reality. There should be a term for that. Not just false, but the actual opposite of reality. But Marxism is a reductionist and stupid lens to view things through.)
2- They are straight up oikophobes, imagining that places abroad, particularly those with people who tan are full of natural communists. America isn’t so America must be eeeevil. And therefore they hate us and want us to suffer.
3- They genuinely straight up love decay, filth and nastiness. You see, they are upper class keyboard muffins (thank you shesellsseashells for the lovely term) who have never experienced nastiness. To them this is what “authentic” means as opposed to their lives which they experience as plastic and too nice. For some it might be a cover for guilt for their unearned riches. For others it’s simply a kink. Nostalgie de la boue.
4- They are despicable sadists who get off on making everyone suffer. This goes with their illusion of being “elite” and wanting the “peasants” to be humiliated.
At this point you guys are looking at me like I’m nuts, but really cast your mind on the administration of the autopen and tell me if those points don’t unify everything they did, from the open border bringing in the dregs of the third world (not sending their best is the best case scenario. Most places were sending their utter worst), to letting gangs run rampant, to defunding the police, to indoctrinating kiddies on the stupid idea that slavery was the point of the country, to taking our money and giving it to people who hate our country, to not letting us have the energy we need as an industrial society, to– Everything they did really.
From the outside, it looked like America was decaying, but the decay was not organic. Decay was a choice and the choice wasn’t ours, but imposed from above.
Decay is a choice.
And it only goes on until the people decide enough is enough. Let me put it this way, as the um…. spicy stuff going on the other side of the pond shows? Decay only goes on until the governed decide they’ve had enough.
And we’ve had just about enough. We’re not getting spicy because FOR NOW our government is combating the decay.
However, California should take notice of what’s going on the other side of the pond. Because not only is decay a choice, IT IS NEVER THE CHOICE OF NORMAL HUMAN BEINGS. And it is never the choice for people who live in it. People prefer living in clean surroundings and being safe. Most normal people want to work, have a home, have a stable relationship and raise fat babies.
Anything else is being imposed upon them by a plague of academics who, for the reasons listed above (and probably others) decided that the West and PARTICULARLY America deserved decay and decline. And since they’d actually never understood decay and decline, they decided to impose it from above. Which means it’s not real. It’s Kay-fab decay and decline. Which–
People don’t like. The encoprofication of reality is not the preference of normal, healthy human beings. Of which, thank the good Lord, the US still has plenty, whatever the news tell you. (I didn’t even list above the decay of our education, which is very much a choice. There’s nothing wrong with the minds of the young. Our education establishment has worked really hard at preventing them from learning, is all.)
It is important for everyone — yes, particularly you, doomer 23900 in your dungeon — to realize that encoprofication (From coprolite) is not real. It’s a choice. It’s a mod on reality. There is no reason for it to exist. Just like there was never any real reason to stop building nuclear plants; there was never any real reason for not producing oil in the US; there was never any reason to let mentally ill and drug addicts turn our cities into cesspools; there was never any reason to destroy and spit on our past.
It is the choice of a cultural minority, which has installed itself in the seats of power and for whom this is an aesthetic and possibly sexual choice.
It is NOT OURS. And there’s no reason to allow the small group of shit-aesthetes any power.
It’s time to push their noses in. Before the necessity comes to us that came to people across the pond. Because that necessity comes with a lot of horrible choices and also inevitable pain I don’t wish on our land.
So go forth. Build under, build over, build around. Make things beautiful, shining, prosperous. There’s nothiing wrong with that, and no reason to feel ashamed of preferring it.
And annoy a Marxist today. Yes, I now it’s easy. But also every time a Marxist cries an angel gets its wings. And I don’t care if you don’t believe in angels, just do it anyway.
Go be clean and happy. And if you still can, raise fat babies. If you can’t, help someone else raise fat babies.
There’s a lot of angels needing wings.
