Last night, I was thinking about my own private collapse in trust in all major American institutions and came up with the idea of sharing my thoughts in a kind of survey of our institutional landscape.

CULTURE

The News Media:

ZERO TRUST.

In the last few years, my trust in the mainstream media was already extremely low, but now it has completely evaporated. A few years ago, I was naive enough to give interviews to “journalists” when I was an activist when I did not fully appreciate the networks that linked “journalists,” Antifa and disciplinary groups like the SPLC and ADL. Just a few months ago, I would actually share news stories from mainstream outlets like the New York Times in spite of their obvious bias because I didn’t think it had overwhelmed the paper. Couldn’t reporters still be trusted to write about some things like public health?

In 2017, I was on the ground in Charlottesville and saw what happened with my own eyes – the police stood down and allowed Antifa to riot – and the media lied to the world about that event. I have had leftwing journalists write stories about me trying to connect me to all kinds of people who I do not know. I once gave an interview over the phone to Reuters about pro-White families and the story ended up being just another parade of stock Nazi and Klan imagery. I have seen multiple “journalists” boast about their ties to Antifa and go on to work for the ADL and SPLC. Most recently, I have seen “journalists” write countless stories to gaslight the public about the “mostly peaceful protests” that have swept the nation.

As for COVID-19, we all saw what happened in late May when the George Floyd protests broke out. The same “journalists” that had spent the last month damning the Reopeners for killing their grandmas broke out into ecstatic praise of mass protests that involved tens of thousands of people. As cities went up in flames, mobs tore down statues and people started dying, COVID-19 became an afterthought. The protesters were criticized less harshly than the Reopeners who engaged in zero violence.

In the new age of moral clarity in American journalism, nothing but the narrative as it is refracted through race and politics matters. Whether it is news, public health or the weather, it is politicized. The Gulf Coast could be hit by a hurricane in the fall and it would be Donald Trump’s fault.

The Entertainment Media:

ZERO TRUST.

The entertainment media is now churning out a steady stream of violent anti-White porn like “Hunters” or “Cracka.” It produces films like Django Unchained or Inglorious Basterds now which explicitly have some kind of racial or ethnic grievance to grind against White people. Nothing but poison and trash that corrupt our youth circulates in American popular culture. The last Academy Awards illustrated how bad it has gotten. Spongebob Squarepants was recently declared to be gay. Paw Patrol has been labeled fascist for glorifying the police. Television shows like COPS and Live PD have been yanked off the air.

Academia:

ZERO TRUST.

Academia has become a hothouse of Critical Race Theory. Young White people are indoctrinated to hate themselves and their own people. They are being taught to hate their country which is illegitimate. The universities are inculcating racial grievances and confusing young adults about their sexuality. It has become routine for speakers on college campuses to be terrorized by Social Justice mobs. The atmosphere on campus is one of absolutely stifling political correctness and conformity. In our current climate, I would never send my son to a public university which has only gotten worse since I graduated.

The Church:

LITTLE TRUST.

In spite of what lots of Christian conservatives believe, the churches are just another cultural institution and can be infected and infiltrated by all the garbage that pulsates through our culture as easily as any other institution. People carry ideas into positions. The same modern garbage is flooding into our churches. Even the best parenting and a strong upbringing within the church won’t be enough to shelter our kids when every other aspect of our culture is lost. How many Christian denominations currently exist which would be unrecognizable to their founders? What do you do when your kids are HATED for being White? What kind of system is being created that our kids will have to NAVIGATE?

Public Education:

ZERO TRUST.

Don’t make me laugh.

The public schools which White parents are taxed to pay for were abandoned generations ago to minorities and progressive pedagogues who have produced an absolute unmitigated disaster with the trillions of dollars squandered on the public education system. We have no choice but to shoulder the financial burden of homeschooling our kids or paying to send them to private schools now.

Sports:

ZERO TRUST.

A few years ago, I could mellow out and watch a college football game, but I can’t even do that anymore without having “Black Lives Matter” shoved in my face. We now live in a coordinated totalitarian state.

GOVERNMENT

The Military:

ZERO TRUST.

I can’t imagine the military being used to for the purpose it was created which was simply to defend the American people from foreign invasion or severe domestic disturbances. The military is only used these days to launch disastrous, misguided interventions abroad in distant places no one cares about or to defend the borders of foreign countries. It is not used to defend our own borders. It is easier to imagine the military being used against the American people by a progressive Democrat.

The Police:

DECLINING TRUST.

In Charlottesville, I saw something with my own eyes that I had never seen before as an activist. I saw the police stand down, allow Antifa to attack us, watch as Antifa attacked us and push us out of Lee Park into a collision with them. We had trusted the police with our safety that day. The Alt-Right was never the same after the day. Public demonstrations were swiftly abandoned. Now, it has become commonplace for the police to stand down and allow Antifa and BLM to riot in Democrat cities all over the country. Democratic officials have given them a license to break the law.

Alphabet Agencies:

ZERO TRUST.

In the Trump era, we have watched as the alphabet agencies have been hopelessly politicized. I was there in Washington, DC when they rioted at the Trump inauguration and began “punching Nazis.” Four years later, these people are blowing up police precincts, burning down Washington, DC, laying siege to a federal courthouse in Portland, physically assaulting elected state representatives in Wisconsin and Colorado. Meanwhile, the alphabet agencies are focused on prosecuting White Nationalists – including those like Jack Corbin who never left their house – while all of this has been allowed to happen. The only thing that now matters is race and political ideology and that goes up to the highest levels of the people around the president who were targeted for their political beliefs.

The Supreme Court:

ZERO TRUST.

Don’t tell me we need to nominate or confirm more conservative justices. When the chips are down, there is no reason to believe that they won’t bow to the pressure of the leftwing mob and the media. Conservatives have controlled the Supreme Court for decades and it has been useless.

Congress:

ZERO TRUST.

It has become nothing but a stage for political grandstanding. It is populated by performance artists who are incapable of even the most basic tasks now like passing a mere budget. Everyone agrees the institution is hopelessly broken. Congress can’t even address natural disasters now like a pandemic.

The Presidency:

ZERO TRUST.

Unfortunately, our present is incapable of doing anything but monitoring the deteriorating situation and tweeting about it. It seems like everything he is inclined to do is blocked whether it is by his own family, his staff, the GOP, Congress, the federal courts, federal bureaucrats, the Pentagon, etc.

The Justice System:

DECLINING TRUST.

I see it being colonized by the woke and pressured by mobs. It is transforming into the Social Justice system.

The Bureaucracy:

ZERO TRUST.

No, I don’t trust the real government also known as the Deep State. I don’t even believe the president has control over it.

BUSINESS

Large Corporations:

ZERO TRUST.

I have more confidence in Congress than large corporations which are totally opposed to my values. Large corporations have become a labyrinth of Social Justice ideology where workers are being pushed through “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” training. Get caught saying the wrong thing and the mob is summoned to cancel you. Now, it has gotten to the point where you don’t even have to do anything offensive. Simply being White is offensive enough and an obstacle to “equity” in the workplace.

Small Business:

GENERALLY POSITIVE.

I think of local restaurants or businesses which are owned by ordinary, relatable, struggling folks. Small business is the only institution left in our society of which I have a generally favorable opinion. Even when I disagree with small business owners, I can at least understand their perspective.

Banks and Large Financial Institutions:

ZERO TRUST.

We’re now at the point where banks and credit card companies are deplatforming people for their political beliefs while using the sway of their lobbyists on Capitol Hill to loot the U.S. Treasury.

Professions:

DECLINING TRUST.

Mainly, I wonder what happened to their kids who seem to be the spoiled upper middle class brats who are destroying the country.

LABOR UNIONS

ZERO TRUST.

Generally, I don’t see organized labor as much of a force anymore in American politics outside of the leftwing public sector unions. The values and interests of the working class are largely irrelevant under neoliberalism. Politics is a battle between overclass factions.

The Right

The GOP:

ZERO TRUST.

Even though it is an election year in the midst of a historic level of nationwide chaos, I haven’t studied or analyzed a single poll because I have no confidence whatsoever in the Republican Party, which I believe caters exclusively to the interests of wealthy donors who purchase its policy agenda. So while what is happening is indeed terrible, I don’t see the GOP as mounting any resistance to it.

The Conservative Movement:

ZERO TRUST.

As I have said before, the American conservative movement are least effective conservatives in all of world history. They have allowed the most fundamental bedrock institutions that ground human society – marriage, the family, religion, the nation, ethnic identity, etc. – to collapse on their watch. Neil Gorsuch couldn’t even conserve the definition of men and women. What are they even doing? Are they dunking on Joe Biden on Twitter with cringe “Dems R The Real Racists” tweets? You can’t find a single one of these people who has the courage to break the dominant racial etiquette and taboos and say something as basic as “It’s Okay To Be White” in this suffocating, tyrannical environment. How can you respect people who have no sense of honor or dignity and who submit to being humiliated and degraded?

IDEOLOGY

Liberalism:

ZERO TRUST.

Horatio:
O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!

Hamlet:
And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

As George Fitzhugh said, liberalism is society in a state of thaw. It is the progressive growth of entropy in an ordered system. Now, liberalism is reaching its culmination in dissolving all institutions including things that never occurred to previous generations like the gender binary.

Democracy:

ZERO TRUST.

Democracy is the theory that somehow the people rule and that elections correspond to policies. I haven’t seen any evidence of this. I think there is a much greater correspondence between political campaign contributions and policies. Elections are entertainment for the masses.

Capitalism:

ZERO TRUST.

This is probably one area of agreement among all people under the age of 45. The vast majority seem to own almost nothing. The system caters to powerful financial interests and investors. While I wouldn’t do away with property entirely, I do think we need a cap on excess wealth.

BONUS

Science:

DECLINING TRUST.

I’ve grown increasingly distrustful of science which seems to be increasingly politicized and conforming to the dominant culture. See the recent defenestration of James Watson.

FINAL THOUGHTS

This has been a pessimistic post.

It seems like that I have lost faith in everything.

I do have faith in this though … I am not alone. There are too many people who feel the same way that I do, which is to say, not represented or respected by virtually any mainstream institution in our society. If something cannot go on forever, it will eventually stop. We can’t thrive or succeed in this world. No one in power seems to consider our interests except to curl their lips in disdain.

Now, the political establishment proposes in the context that I laid out above to make the weight of this burden even worse. In the name of fighting “systemic racism,” all White people are now to be branded “racists” and “white supremacists” who must be trained to practice antiracism. Meanwhile, all non-White people are exempted from the new system on racial grounds because racism is by definition whiteness, encouraged to spot “racism” in every human interaction and to “dismantle” that racism.

Increasingly, I fantasize about living in a place where I don’t have to live under the burden of liberalism and antiracism or feel smothered by the whole weight of society. If there is no political solution, our culture has been completely demolished, law and order is allowed to collapse, the country is lost and we are fated to become some kind of degraded racial caste like in South Africa, it is worth remembering that millions of people left South Africa. They left because of the burden of living there under liberal democracy became so great for White people that those who had the means to do so emigrated.

For the record, I don’t believe it will come to that. I don’t think our society will be able to withstand anymore the stress of this growing burden. It is an option of last resort though. I’m not going to live the rest of my life watching this country whither away under this “systemic racism” bullshit.
