I ran out of time in the show to do this one, so I will do it here. If you want a white pill to end the year the collapse of the point-and-shriek subculture is a good one. Five years ago, a post like this would have been a huge deal, requiring Yarvin to issue a statement. He would not have been cancelled because he has the force field, but it would have required some groveling. Various Claremont figures would have come out to defend him to keep it from getting out of hand.
Today it is largely ignored. The only reason I knew about it was the www.memeorandum.com had it down near the bottom of the list. This is the slowest of slow times for the news, so that site is scaping the bottom of the barrel for content. There was nothing in Twitter. A few days ago, that disgusting slob Heidi Beirich posted a smear against Michael Anton and that went nowhere. It barely rated much attention at all. This stuff is just not working anymore
One reason for this is a major link in the chain of custody has been removed from the way these stories moved from the fever swamps to regime media. The way this worked was the fever swamp would get one of these moving on social media and then it would be picked up by the minor league media types and then recycled by the regime media platforms. The artificial boost by Twitter has been removed simply by letting things trend organically.
Now if the New York Times wants to run a smear campaign against someone they must own it rather than pretend they are covering it. This was always part of the “invisible man” strategy. Progressive love creating an invisible man to do the dirty work so they can pretend to be observers, commenting upon the natural flow of history. “Some people say you are a polarizing figure” always turns up in whenever a normal person agrees to talk to a crazy from regime media.
Musk buying Twitter has had the unintended effect of buggering up the mechanism these people used to manufacture their invisible men. Not only can they no longer game the algo to artificially get their stuff trending, but many of the crazies also have either quit the game or shuffled off to Bluesky, which has become an isolate echo chamber. They have made themselves in a tree falling in a forest with no one around to heard it fall. Who says there is never any good news?
