"Barring nuclear war, a government biowarfare agent let loose by accident on purpose, or an asteroid strike, people living in the territory of the US will cope with their insane government as best they can, and they will constrain it through quiet-quitting the state, calm disobedience of state authority, and rejuvenation of community. Actually, nuclear explosions, bio-warfare, and asteroids will be dealt with in much the same way. The problem is that our extremely vulnerable ruling class, and the state itself, are both wholly unprepared for emergencies, and have all the cohesion of a wet Kleenex.
"Realism requires we recognize that the ruling classes and the US government have no durable community and no internal integrity. The state is a pirate gang writ large. It is unified by criminal circumstance, functions by fear and tribute, and is surrounded by enemies who would see it stripped, drawn and quartered at first opportunity. It’s almost enough to make one pity the state, and mourn the ruling classes!
"Realism reminds us that desperate, declining states don’t fix themselves. They quickly become dangerous to innocent bystanders, enemies, and its own citizens – and these three categories become indistinguishable just as quickly. It’s happening right now in Ukraine, in Israel, and ready or not, in the United States."

"According to a survey by JL Partners, roughly 765,000 New Yorkers—say they’re preparing to leave because of Mamdani’s election. Another 25%, or around 2.1 million, are considering it. Among high earners—those making over $250,000 a year—7% say they’re definitely fleeing.
"Why wouldn’t they? Mamdani has made it clear he views them as piggy banks. His entire platform is built on extracting their wealth and redistributing it. When you explicitly declare war on a segment of your population, that segment leaves.
"And those are the people funding everything. They’re the tax base. When they leave, revenue collapses—making it difficult, if not impossible, to fund the bloated social(ist) programs Mamdani promised. Then what? More taxes on whoever’s left. Which drives out more people. Which shrinks revenue even further.
"It’s a doom loop—and, again, entirely predictable.
"The end result is that New York’s going to end up looking a lot like the ...
No.
He let the robots cheat...driving Mamdani’s fake social media engagement sky high, which the media turned into fake news that Mamdani was popular, liked, and a genius of a political leader driving a vast grassroots explosion of excitement for a true change agent.
Bot farms out of Pakistan and India flooded X with random promotion of Mamdani coming from fake accounts...suddenly ballooning into the tens and hundreds of thousands. This is not organic engagement by real New Yorkers, but manufactured hype driven by enemy foreign code-writers rigging a US election.
The New York Post is tracking the evidence:
According to analytics compiled from Mamdani’s social media accounts, reviewed by The Post, between June 1 and July 1, Mamdani’s Instagram followers jumped from 213,000 to nearly 3 million — a 1,295% surge — while TikTok grew more than 1,000%.
Was there cheating at the voting booth? It would have been unnecessary. Real immigrants came out to vote for the ...
"All men of military genius are fond of centralization, which increases their strength; and all men of centralizing genius are fond of war, which compels nations to combine all their powers in the hands of the government. Thus the democratic tendency that leads men unceasingly to multiply the privileges of the state and to circumscribe the rights of private persons is much more rapid and constant among those democratic nations that are exposed by their position to great and frequent wars than among all others."
