I have an uncomfortable suspicion that an Authoritarian Right government could embrace climate hysteria just as fervently as the Authoritarian Left.

No one held a gun to BlackRock's collective head to induce them to build CO2 sequestration plants on a subsidy of USD$120 / tonne.

I won't be holding my methane waiting for Trump to cancel that one, either..,

Nah the pendulum swing won’t come from within the incumbent parasite class, it will come from splinter movements surging in popularity as they undermine the status quo.

Think ULEZ Bladerunners expanding to target illegal immigrants, a few months later having local cells targeting trans movements, and a few months after that planning operations against the parasites.

It will be a bottoms up movement, not top down. And it will necessarily move fast so as to evade crackdowns and take advantage of the unpreparedness against domestic insurgency.

If there was a chance of top down then I’d agree with you but none of the establishment right wing anywhere in the West has any notion of harnessing normie power - they all only think in terms of established power (police, intel, military).

Someone like Andrew Tate or Keith Woods is far more likely to harness this dissident right wing than someone like Trump or Farage who won’t go far enough for normies.

Can't disagree with any of that, I think you're spot on.

But I also think this reaction is exactly what the Left-Establishment are hoping for, and that they believe they can use such a conflict to consolidate institutional power.

100%. Just look at VIC:

- Greens horse-traded support for Andrews’ pandemic legislation (that resulted in Melbourne’s biggest ever protest) to get an investigation into “far right extremism”

- Andrews flies Trans flag over parliament

- Anzac Day and Australia Day banned in Vic

- Moira Deeming suspended from VicLibs for Women’s March was which hi-jacked by ~25 pretend neo-nazis which the cops allowed through

- Socialist Barbie installs a new position for “Men’s Behaviour Change”

- Recent Trans acceptance social media propaganda campaign

- Awarding Sutton and Andrews whose heads should be in baskets, with top honours

They are agitating their right wing opponents in the hopes they do something so they can send their establishment power to crush them and signal strength to their base. However Victoria doesn’t have an organised right wing so they’re tilting at windmills - 263 days of lockdown would have drawn them out already.

Other places however DO have the seeds of a right wing insurgency movement.

And I’m sure the intent is the same; goad them into action and use the force of the State to crush them.

The problem is when these do pop-up, the insurgents will be **fully** aware of this. They know the State is out for them and will be heavy handed so they’ll adjust their tactics.

Again look at ULEZ Bladerunners - they’ve cut down hundreds of those cameras, the State hasn’t crushed them, I don’t even know if they’ve caught anyone yet?

If they keep succeeding they’ll be further emboldened to expand using similar ideas and it’s gonna be bloody hard to track and fight local citizens doing hit-and-run tactics against various establishment favourite groups.

Once the power of the State not only fails in protecting their ULEZ cameras but then fails at protecting their Trannie soldiers, or their illegal immigrants, well it will quickly move to needing to protect themselves and a single failure on that front will be blood in the water for total chaos.

Leftists always believe in their ability to centrally plan. They think they can initiate crises and sell the solutions and that works, until it doesn’t…

The realisation that the Emperor has no clothes is rapid and irreversible and that’s what we’ll see in the coming years.

100%. All true.

I would also point out that its never just a game for two players, something those who plot their parliamentary coups in Whatsapp groups may not understand.

A talking head I see on TV from time to time is a guy I served with. He's now an "expert" on alt-Right domestic extremism, among other things. Two decades back he was a discreet but fervent alt-Left paleo-Marxist and huge fanboi of Hugo Chavez. He's risen far since, on merit not ass-kissing. I've wondered if he's genuinely abandoned his Revolution and signed on for Left Establishment? Or not. And how many others has he made contact with?

The security forces that the Establishment dreams of unleashing further may harbour factions with their own plans. Things could turn unexpected if the right opportunities were constructed.

Hmmm. Rural block or second passport?

Second passport, definitely.

You don’t want to be near this shit when it kicks off. If you’re looking for peace, everyone will be your enemy and will deny you it.

In the beginning it will just be the establishment but once they start losing and the dissidents ascend to localised power, everything will fragment.

This is the most accurate depiction from ‘Civil War’ and there’s a reason it took off as a meme - if/when we get to that stage, people are going to have to pick sides and depending on who is holding the gun your answer could be the end of you even on your rural block.
