I wish more people would get this. The government schools are not failing. They are producing the type and quality of citizenry that this regime wants. They medical systems are not failing, they are designed to accustom the people to rationing. And so on. And so on.

Once again, an excellent article, which is totally spot on. The system is indeed working as intended. Mass migration is a comprehensive disaster for the western world in general, and for America in particular. Mass migration, along with the assault on our society via our “education“ system have been the two most destructive actions that have been launched upon us. The effects of both must be not only stopped, they must be completely reversed. And I do mean completely reversed. On that there can be no discussion.

Seems so obvious. And that’s probably because it is. The right isn’t in denial, they’re complicit.

There is no credible and organized RW movement in this country because being “Right Wing” in any serious manner has been effectively “outlawed” culturally, politically and economically.

Skeptical Waves just posted Deneen’s 2016 article “How a Generation Lost Its Common Culture,” in which he says something similar.

“We have fallen into the bad and unquestioned habit of thinking that our educational system is broken, but it is working on all cylinders. What our educational system aims to produce is cultural amnesia, a wholesale lack of curiosity, history-less free agents, and educational goals composed of content-free processes and unexamined buzz-words like “critical thinking,” “diversity,” “ways of knowing,” “social justice,” and “cultural competence.”

p1: Conservatives typically analyze policies based on their stated goals

p2: This focuses on official rationales rather than underlying motives

p3: Examining real purposes behind policies would allow conservatives to more effectively respond to the left's agenda

∴ Conservatives should look past stated goals and consider actual motives driving institutional actions and policies.

Exactly. Certain individuals, like mainstream conservatives, perceive the government as dysfunctional or ineffective or broken. However, the government is functioning as intended, albeit in a manner that benefits those who have seized control. Therefore, the government's performance is satisfactory for those latter individuals.

The persistent efforts of conservatives to 'fix' the system without addressing the underlying motives of liberals in pursuing their ultimate goals will inevitably hinder the identification and resolution of the underlying issues.

On point, again.

Imagine that just a few years ago, Charlie Kirk was promoting a scheme to staple a green card to the college degree of any graduating immigrant. Now he’s openly tweeting about the failure of mass immigration. It’s nice change, I hope it’s not too late

For them, this reaction (It has failed!!) is the goal. The devastation is real and complete, let’s argue about the policy now that it’s over and we’ve lost.

GOP model: “What could have been.” -

React to the past, do nothing about the present while talking about the past and have no plans for the future lamenting the past.
