Living Under Enemy Occupation
We’ve lost.
The Left won the culture war, and with it, the war for our society’s political soul. “Politics is downstream of Culture” is a maxim the Right was either ignorant of, dismissive of, or fully ignored, until it was too little, too late. We must now come to terms with the idea that we are living under enemy occupation. Insufficiently Progressive citizens are rapidly becoming the legitimate targets of social and economic forms of violence from actors at all levels of “The Cathedral” (or “The Synagogue”, whichever you prefer). The further Right you are, the greater the heresy committed, and the harsher the penance required.
Federal and State governments are beginning to devote more time and resources into efforts to force citizens to use their private property to provide service to individuals we might wish not to, regardless of our moral or religious reasoning, under the threat of severe and potentially crippling financial penalties. This is not a new development; freedom of association has been dead in private enterprise since the Civil Rights era. Unfortunately, “Civil Rights” tends to remain a nebulous and easily expandable concept; it can be used in many situations by the government to quickly expand the legal reach of the state, and so we should expect to see new and novel ways for this particular idea to be used to further encroach upon our lives and livelihoods.
Beyond the targeted oppression of the judicial, legislative, and executive branches, we also find ourselves further and further under the jurisdiction of bureaucratic, faceless, and near unaccountable organizations that wield significant amounts of real-world power. They answer to the Executive branch, and they are the means by which the President can most effectively implement their agenda. To give an example of how these organizations are used against us, let’s turn to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Not only are they now tracking neighborhood diversity data, they are also making a concerted effort to diversify ethnically homogeneous communities. Make no mistake; this is specifically designed to break up ethnically homogeneous neighborhoods and undermine the social fabric and communal trust throughout the country. Barack Obama has been quite the effective President; he has certainly lived up to his promise to “fundamentally transform” America.
Lastly, the general Left-leaning media and the public it manipulates are used to track down and attempt to shame into submission via economic violence those who are insufficiently keeping up with “Progress”. This is done by either attacking your employment status if you are a traditional employee, or by targeting your social business network if you own a business. Unless you are sufficiently Antifragile, this social and economic violence is highly effective in attaining the desired outcomes, regardless of the hardened hearts and vindictive attitudes it creates in those who are attacked.
So how do we move forward? How do we attempt to live in a society that is actively targeting us for agitation, attempting to loot the spoils of political war by enforcing their will on the conquered population? I’d argue that we need to take a page out of the playbook of other minority groups scattered throughout the West and begin taking steps to build a parallel society. A parallel society is one where a minority, often bound together by ethnic or religious ties, self-organizes in a manner that reduces and minimizes contact with the majority society. I think this provides us the best option for low-level resistance. What might this look like in practice?
