“See?” they will say. “It’s all back to the old normal now. Nothing to get in a twist over. Now, if they could just get the interest rates down a tad, everything will be peachy.”
And that’s how The Machine will win.
No, I do not believe "The Machine will win" - ever. And my reason for this belief is simple : "It's the Economy, Stupid". All of our Western democracies are on the cusp of real economic break-downs, even some bankruptcies - all caused by the panic about climate change and the spending of billions on the impossibility of NetZero. We will all be very, very much poorer - because of our obsession that our world will (or actually just maybe!!) be a couple of degrees Celsius warmer over a couple of hundred years. And don't ever forget that the rest of the world does NOT share our delusional obsession.
Real and increasing poverty will sober our minds wonderfully. Watch the European parliament elections next year - watch the US presidential elections next year.
I tend to agree with you Andy and I hope you're right. And never think that I have lost heart and resigned myself to defeat. I just worry, as Nous points out, that by the time enough people start feeling the pain of the coming economic storm, there may be too much infrastructure in place and it may be too late to escape without a very bloody and destructive revolution of some kind. Yes we will win, but at what cost? The cost, as I see it, will be directly proportional to the time it takes for a a majority of people around the world to wake up.
"The owl of Minerva flies at dusk" (Hegel), or as John Lennon (yeah him) put it, "Life is what happens when you're doing other things".
So what other things have been happening? Let's take one. Within a week of the No Vote (you might recall it as the Two Minute Hate), something happened that kicked Hate as a semiotic right beyond the boundary lines of Planet Earth. Of course you know what it is: the ABC has suddenly piped right down on Hate right when it most needed it.
Of course, Hamas has been trying it on at Circular Quay, but you can hear those vibrant little middle-class ABC voices squeaking "No! No! Not now! Now is NOT the time to remind everyone that WE ARE HITLER, and our screwy little Love For Humanity is KILL THE JEWS in our very special code.
Now I sound like a nutjob saying all this, but for all of that it is incredibly funny watching Toad Hall (sorry, the UN) implode. Apparently there are fifteen committees on The Evils Of Zionism currently in session, and each one of them is presently suffering a minor financial crisis. And, since the gist of the Great Reset is WHITES ARE JEWS, well, shouldn't it be mandatory to acknowledge the dangers to the New World Order posed by a bunch of incontinents who can't be educated in the subtleties of Effective Sophistry because the algorithm is unalterable?
But enough with the funnies. Let's just be satisfied that stupidity is its own reward. And, to be sure, the owl of Minerva flies at dusk.
As you say, “build strength and resilience and get really good at saying NO.” Which seems to be the critical element in turning a nothingburger into a NO thingburger.
You write above : "

"We" will win, J. J.

Amen brother.
