Truth Irrelevancy Project Update, by Robert Gore at Straight Line Logic

The rioters, looters, and vandals, and their political and rhetorical enablers have been forthright about their desire to destroy, stop, or cancel any form of individual expression that does not conform to their ever-shifting whims and dictates. They are more honest than the Covid-19 totalitarians, who want the same things but are hiding behind the spurious rationale of protecting public health. Both groups claim the collective good as they define it transcends individual rights, meaning it transcends the individual mind.

    Brilliant as always, Robert!

    I can't help but think of the following after seeing so much in the last couple of weeks. We are seeing a takeover by worthless rotters "whose vision extends to a shanty" (actually tent villages now - even worse!).

    From Galt's speech: A farmer will not invest the effort of one summer if he’s unable to calculate his chances of a harvest. But you expect industrial giants - who plan in terms of decades, invest in terms of generations and undertake ninety-nine-year contracts - to continue to function and produce, not knowing what random caprice in the skull of what random official will descend upon them at what moment to demolish the whole of their effort. Drifters and physical laborers live and plan by the range of a day. The better the mind, the longer the range. A man whose vision extends to a shanty, might continue to build on your quicksands, to grab a fast profit and run. A man who envisions skyscrapers, will not. Nor will he give ten years of unswerving devotion to the task of inventing a new product, when he knows the gangs of entrenched mediocrity are juggling the laws against him, to tie him, restrict him and force him to fail, but should he fight them and struggle and succeed, they will seize his rewards and his invention.

    Great essay as always. I believe it was on Tucker Carlson's program one of the field reporters interviewed a demonstrator about being paid and stated that he went to a George Soros website and signed up to be a paid demonstrator. I really believe that Soros and Sons are backing the Anarchists, BLM and Antifa. I know Justice Watch is gathering info on Soros but why hasn't the DOJ look into Soro's treasonous activities? BLM is being supported by so many mainstream companies don't they know that BLM and other groups are Neo-Bolsheviks?
    My POV is "lock & Load".

    The no win scenario?...
    We are up against a portion of the population that has lost it completely; partially aided by, a natural cycle that causes a portion of a population to loose it completely...and no vaccine to ward off Stupid...except the Mind, which has been lost to them.

      There were instigated fights yesterday at a "protest" in Downtown Boise, Idaho near the Capital building. You probably won't see it on the major news outlets, but the BLM folks were trucked in from Portland and were trying to go after the Abraham Lincoln statue in front of the Statehouse. (Lincoln was a major force in getting Idaho statehood.) Our uber-leftist mayor blamed the patriots for inciting the violence, but it was all caught on tape and the police were quick to intervene. All I can say is that this is the wrong city to try that crap. Though the mayor wants us to become a mini-Portland, the people here are more sane.

      What was also interesting was that some of the patriots defending the capital and the statue were watching BLM and Antifa notetakers on the sides marking down numbers of participants, police responses and response times, etc. This is a lot more organized than people think and sooner or later it is going to come to a head in violence because that's what these people want. I just hope the fight is swift and one-sided so we can bury their bodies and get back to real life. There's no place in society for these thugs.

    Talking about importing rioters....... had a "defund the police" protest here in Pendleton, OR a couple weeks back........ nothing but Washington plates in the parking lot. No locals in it at all. How could you profess to love your country, but then drive around sowing dissent and turning people against each other, and against the cops who protect is from anarchy? Insanity!
