leftism: Otherwise known as “progressivism” and even more inaccurately as “liberalism”, leftism is a term originating from the French Revolution of 1789, in reference to the political faction that opposed the French (so-called) king. However, the term is currently used in common discourse to describe those criminals who actively support (or at least tacitly condone) a host of OBJECTIVELY-WICKED ideologies and practices that contravene dharma, such as non-monarchical governances and corrupt economic systems (particularly socialism, communism, fascism, and liberal democracies), egalitarianism, feminism, perverse sexuality (especially homosexuality, bestiality, and transvestism), multiculturalism, and the illegitimate abortion of innocent, defenceless, unborn children. Cf. “dharma”. In a vain attempt to legitimize their objectively-immoral propensities, leftists invariably replace accurate terms with blatant EUPHEMISMS, such as “gay”, “sex worker”, “pro-choice”, and “queer”, and of course, coin novel words for notions that cannot exist, particularly the nonsensical term, “transgender”. Furthermore, leftists are constantly inventing truly inane, vacuous words to demonize conservatives, such as “homophobia” and “transphobia” (which literally mean “fear of sameness” and “fear of change”, respectively). In the past decade or two (of this treatise being composed), the mass media, especially the motion picture industry and television production companies, has been aggressively promoting all the above CRIMINAL ideologies and practices, helping to expedite the destruction of human civilization. Recently, large corporations have jumped on the leftist bandwagon (so to speak), in order to profit. As explicated in Chapter 11 of this “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, the state of being of any particular human (or any other animal, for that matter) is due entirely to his or her genetic sequencing and his or her conditioning. Therefore, the explosion of the leftist/liberal mentality in recent decades, particularly in Western countries, has been caused by poor breeding strategies overtaking the more conservative tradition of mate-selection of previous centuries (and indeed, millennia), as well as the concerted effort of Marxists to spread their nefarious ideology throughout the school system. In other words, due to the fact that criminal behaviour (especially the deviant sexual acts mentioned above) has become increasingly more tolerated, condoned, and even GLORIFIED in most countries, there has been a proliferation of corrupt genetic codes within the wider human population. According to genealogists, for (almost) the entire history of humanity, most women have successfully reproduced, whilst a far far smaller percentage of males have bequeathed their genetic sequence to proceeding generations. Due to the gradual phasing-out of polygamous marriages in even the most conservative societies, as well as the eradication of poverty in most every country, more and more men (as well as women) have been producing offspring. Thus, the human genome has rapidly become adulterated by inferior genetic material (that is, DNA from truly pathetic, uxorious beta-males, bisexuals, and even homosexual couples who engage surrogate mothers or sperm donors in order to conceive children - something of a rare occurrence in previous centuries/millennia). For centuries, breeders of elite animals such as horses, cattle, and dogs, have known that selecting the finest examples of a breed of animal will result in offspring with desirable characteristics. For example, present day thoroughbred horses boast a pedigree of the best-available horses from the seventeenth century. Such breeders are willing to pay enormous sums of money merely to hire the fastest stallions on earth in order for them to mate with their mares. In the case of we humans, women have traditionally chosen the most competent and masculine men with whom to bear children, and in general, have totally eschewed those males who displayed effeminate traits, and who showed themselves incapable of properly supporting a nuclear family. Unfortunately, due to rapid moral decay over the past few decades, Western women have become extremely sexually promiscuous, resulting in a multiplication of unwanted progeny (and, of course, an escalation of abortions). Boys born to single mothers often lack proper male role models and invariably become feminized, unable (and often unwilling) to continue a strong lineage of progenitors. The solution to this problem is simply to ensure that society adheres to the principles of DHARMA (see the Glossary definition of that term, as well as Chapter 12). Unsurprisingly, the majority of leftists find it difficult to accept the fact that their criminal mentality is largely inherited (and of course, they are unwilling to acknowledge the blatantly-obvious fact that their ideologies and practices are intrinsically sinful, wicked, evil and immoral in the first place!). It seems the consensus amongst leftist “intellectuals” is that every human mental trait is due entirely to one’s environmental conditioning and social milieu, rather than as a consequence of BOTH one’s genetic sequence and one’s life-long conditioning - a fundamentally-flawed assertion that cannot be scientifically supported. I would not be surprised if the typical leftist would believe that, if the parents of the twentieth century communist tyrant, Joseph Stalin, and the parents of the Divine Incarnation, Lord Jesus Christ, had somehow crossed the time barrier, and exchanged their baby boys shortly after their births, that Stalin would have grown to become a Prophet for God, whilst Christ would have become a murderous, left-wing dictator! This term was very reluctantly used in the chapter on feminism. I say “reluctantly” because it is unlikely that the term will perdure for many decades longer. This is simple deductive logic, since, as clearly demonstrated in certain chapters in “F.I.S.H”, human civilization cannot survive with such leftist practices and ideologies in place. If you happen to be reading this Holy Scripture a century or more after its conception, you will probably be residing in a nation (as opposed to a country) ruled by a monarch, following the implosion of post-modern, decadent societies. So, either the term “leftism” will eventually become redundant and obsolete, or else, human civilization will devolve into a decadent, diseased state of existence similar to that of the prehistoric era, when the peoples of the world resided in caves or shacks, subsisting on whatever food can be sourced from the surrounding bushland. I trust that you who are reading these wise words will endeavour to influence your social circles to adhere to right-leaning ideologies and practices, such as (above all) monarchical governance, an entirely free-market economy, sexual purity, veganism, and all other virtuous principles. Fear not, for God is with you! P.S. As a general rule, it seems (at least anecdotally) that the farther left-leaning is a person, the more physically (and of course, psychologically) UGLY is that person. Unfortunately, that does not seem to prevent leftists from propagating their mutant genes.🤡 N.B. In order to clarify the notion of inheritability, it is not being claimed that an adharmic (far-left) couple will INVARIABLY produce leftist children, but that it is more PROBABLE that they will do so, considering their genetic sequence and the environmental conditioning they are bound to impart to their children, just as two parents with a certain physiological disorder are more likely to generate offspring with that specific disease. In this regards, it is recommended to study introductory texts on epigenetics. 🧬 In my particular case, I was raised by a staunch communist, and so, was indoctrinated to believe that communism was the best course of action for a just society. Indeed, as a teenager, I even volunteered in the election campaign of a socialist politician, who eventually became the Premiere of the state of Western Australia. However, after studying dharma, I came to learn that I was misled by my father in this regard, and that the only system of governance that is dharmic (legitimate) is a divinely-sanctioned monarchy.

A successful life takes work, and making good decisions. What kind of life do you want to lead? What kind of fulfillment?

"Low level jobs actively punish those who have agency." As someone who's been at the bottom since my first job, I can completely confirm that this is very true. If you have initiative a manager will punish you. If you meet your quota they will tell you to keep working and increase your quota over time. If you are one of the top performers and very productive but have one low productivity day, all they do is give you hate for not being great on that one day. If you are caught talking you will be scolded, but the managers and CEO's visiting will always just stand around and talk about sports, whoever is hot, and endlessly give you a double standard. Only office workers and management can slack off and chat with each other. Low level jobs also suck so much because management actively abuse and mistreat workers at the bottom.

It wasn't a drought. It was a "dust bowl". That dust bowl happened because the farmers had cleared the land in preparation for planting, then went to the banks to obtain a farming loan, were not granted the necessary loan, and that land then sat there, dried up due to lack of covering vegetation and became sand and dust. The farmers weren't granted loans exactly because of the depression, which was caused by the 1913 Federal Reserve Act, and the larger banks attempted to kill all of the small banks who previously refused to sell out to the larger banks. So, yes, the 1929 market crash was intentionally caused by the banks in 1920-25, which the Federal Reserve Act was supposed to prevent. It was a con job between the banks and the politicians.

I listen to him simply b/c he does intriguing, and thought provoking material. However, I do think he is way off the mark in two areas: Either not enough, or not at all focused on the folks at the top running the show, and the religious-spiritual arena. Make no mistake, there IS a global hierarchy that has been in play for quite some time, definitely many decades, but i'd say centuries (for millennia ?! Im not in a position to know that, let alone answer it) that stays in the shadows, so to speak. There is a "supernatural" aspect to all of this, call it what you will: divine prophesy, divine intervention, etc. Of course this is VERY HARD to "nail down" for obvious reasons. Its hard, if not impossible for atheists, and/or those that a very hard leaning "scientific mind" to grasp.

Get rid of licensure to fix it...also limit patents to five years max since you're at it.

[@geoffgjof]

You don't even have to completely remove a patent after 5 years. Just require whoever uses the patent to pay the patent owner like 5% from whatever they make using the patent. That way the patent owner still gets compensated, but the idea is free to use who can make a profit with a 5% handicap.

[@rickcortese2023]

5 year patents don't work in most cases. Government reviews and SOP take longer than that. Typical time to market for industry probably averages 5 years. Think of every thing from drug testing, crash testing cars & EPA regs, airplanes, pretty long list. The patent is applied early in the process so you don't suffer from industrial spying, employees going to competitors.

[@rickcortese2023]

@@geoffgjof If you could get it to work that way. Problems are things like the company you work for considers it "a work for hire" so the actual inventor sees nothing special.

I know of one guy who was "California Inventor of the Year" that was eventually forced out of his position as Senior VP in charge of R&D for amoug other things, stealing subordinates inventions and passing them off as solely his.

When you train someone to be submissive and swallow whatever you tell them, you make them vulnerable to any charismatic guru or garbage propaganda that comes along. This is especially a problem with how many parents raise their daughters, which is why so many of those students were girls.

We are in a gynocentric social order which is fundamentally an emotional society based on security and harm avoidance. If we taught critical thinking and rationality as a model for looking at education, it would unravel the social order. Boys and men by a much larger magnitude than is already waking up, would ask why they are holding up society for little to no reward. And the answer would be, because you're expected to.

Lord knows we have too many women in positions of power that are incompetent intellectually. A lot of it could stem from failure to teach female children to think critically, but much is also due to women’s natural leanings towards safety, security, and comfort over all. Also, teaching our young boys without proper male role models, or teaching them that male character qualities are “toxic” isn’t helping. There’s such a horrible cluster of problems 🤦

People way older than Rudyard have thought what he thinks. What makes him incredible is his journey to bring it all together. While an historian in the 30s might write a book on it, a man in the 50s, to the 90s had no chance of doing that and getting heard by many. The Great Man view and other older ways of looking at things suddenly became forbidden to all but the boys who went to prep schools with headmasters and teachers who grew up in the 30s and 40s. Rudyard realized that many things were wrong and went after answers. The answers are not what a dad who wants to save America or other people who grew up in the 80s want to hear any more than men like my father, who grew up in the 30s and 40s and believed the cartoon version of America that was presented to them during the war, want to see what has happened since the 90s. What Rudyard talks about is stuff that more than 99% of people did not know about so they could not even consider it. That is why they can't believe, reject, and run away. Certainly, the United States is special, but it is based on a confluence of flukes that occurred in English society and gelled in the 1760s and 70s. It is composed of the same range of people as there has always been. So, the USA suffers the same cycles as every other group of humans. What makes the process worse for the United States is that it is the most successful, if not only successful, multi-cultural union to remain together whilr only resorting to violence once to make it stay that way. Do not be mistaken. The entire history of this country is one of the near ending of the Union from Day 1 right on to the 1860s, and quietly underground ever since, but not in some r&cial bigotry way. It came close enough around 1970, and now a confluence of factors makes the likelihood of a national divorce quite high. No matter how the Orson Scott Cards of the world try to explain around human nature, maintaining that we can all get along, they always resort to hegemonies to keep the arrangements going. At some point the Czechs and the Slovaks have had enough, the Indians and the Muslim Indians have had enough, the Catalonians has had enough, the Quebecois stop extorting Canada, then it is time to pursue different arrangements.

If you are trying to compare 'inflation' now with 'inflation' in the 70s and 80s you have to realise that the way of measuring price inflation has been changed and manipulated downwards so much that you are comparing apples and oranges.

You aren't playing devils' advocate you are being delusional. If he was really worried about his son he would look at the evidence and say "While i dont like/agree with what they is implying it holds merit and I should prepare my son for this possible outcome." Because I don't want my son coming back and saying "Dad you were given a heads up on this and instead of preparing me you ignored it and now that it's happening I am unprepared and can't really handle it now I have to struggle to get through it because you rejected what was in front of you." Rejecting reality because you don't like how it makes you feel is a women like personality trait which isn't surprising seeing as how he openly with a smile started he is physically weaker then his wife. Makes sense that his course of action is "I dont like to think about this because I have a son and I want him to have a good life and not have to deal with this so if I just reject it full stop It wont become an issue.

Banji you are exactly right. I wouldn't have Rudyard on the show if I didn't think he was compelling and had important things to say. But I felt it was important to play devil's advocate partly because I overwhelmingly agree with his analysis and partly because his civil war claim is bold enough that should get serious scrutiny. I wish I didn't interrupt as much in retrospect, though. I'll have him back and chill out.

Big kudos for getting Rudyard on. The one thing that I always can’t stand, though, is how GenX and Boomers guffaw at something said by a younger person’s experience that ought to leave them in dread, because they don’t have to live in the mudpit of that reality. Rudyard will say something about like “my teachers called my parents about me being a school shooter because I doodled swords in my notebook” and John’s reaction is to laugh and guffaw, basically saying “oh how silly! Back in my day, we…” and so on. Rudyard is being very serious when he mentions these types of anecdotes, because he has to deal living in that world. John hears these things and views them as fantastical, because he hasn’t had to live in the current reality; he’s had his wife, he’s had a successful career, he got his home before 2020, etc. Edit: getting closer to the end, and it’s infuriating just how hard of a GenXer John is. He’s lost in the sauce. I don’t know if John can actually be told about a problem and not either scoff at it or handwaive it. When John says “well ya know things have always been bad right?” I want to reach through my screen and punch him in the throat.

[@DadSavesAmerica]

Brother, you're Catholic Samurai. It's Sunday. Chill out on the throat punching. I actually am friends with Rudyard, expended thousands of dollars in resources to produce this show and platform his ideas, and you seem to missing that all along the way I broadly agree with him. I played hard devil's advocate. I also admitted that I'm out of touch with many of these issues, which is an inevitable fact of growing older... and also the exact reason why I had him on the show!!!

That's not how it works. A ton of the prerequisites are in place, it's the trigger that is the unknown. Just go look up what started previous revolutions & civil wars. Same thing, a bunch of escalating factors that precipitate a major social unrest. What varies is that ignition point. If you look up like 3 separate historical examples you will see 3 different triggers but it will make more sense to you after knowing what those are. If makes you see how it could happen plausibly.

[@AetheriusComics]

@@spudruckus7297 "look up what started previous revolutions & civil wars." I've read about this in the past. The first Civil War makes sense why it happened. And if I lived right before it happened, it would be very clear to me why it would happen. These are very different times. The fights that we've seen happen already in modern times, like the White House attack, and the Tikki Torches situation up north, it's still vague to me why those groups did what they did. I've heard their reasons but none of it makes logical sense to me. Kind of like when Rudyyard said, "if you're a young white man, the people in charge don't want you there". But those same people in charge champion white non hetero men, so how does this make sense? It just doesn't. If this was one of other reasons why someone wanted to fight, my eyebrows would remain raised for quite some time. If Civil War does happen, I'll probably be one of those folks who will be confused why the fighting is happening.
