“For those of us who are not black men, imagine watching the news and seeing how people who look like you are portrayed. Imagine seeing men who look like you executed by police, arrested in impossibly high numbers and seeing the entire political system of our nation fighting to keep it that way.
“Think about really what effect that would have on you and how you felt about this country and your participation in its institutions. It’s a centuries-old problem, but we can’t be centuries-old in the solution. We need to fix it now. We need to stop the efforts to make it harder for people of color to vote. We need to fix what’s broken in America.” – Alysa Milano, white millionaire Progmerican actress
“Imagine being a black man and being told by some white lady with a microphone that you and the criminal on TV are one and the same because you look alike. Imagine being told by society that white people can be all they can be, but you as a black man, the content of your character is completely irrelevant, you are the color of your skin, and that is all you’ll ever be.
“Imagine being told that you can’t figure out how to vote because of the color of your skin. Socioeconomics affects everybody, but apparently you’re not as smart as the poorest white person.” – Savanah Edwards, black middle-class American woman
In past reports, we’ve talked about the concept of “language wars,” of using “language games” to create unwinnable outcomes for your opponent. It is the use of language wars that has largely led to the rise of a host of ideological constructs we will simply refer to as “woke.”
What all these ideological constructs have in common is this; the white heterosexual cis-gendered male created a whole host of institutions to assert and preserve his superiority over all other classes of people. This underlying assumption is implicit in some (they’ll even deny it) and explicit in others.
Systemic “whiteness” prevails, even when the standards are changed to no longer favor the white man, even when the institution’s leaders are replaced by “woke” leaders, even when the new standards now openly discriminate against the white heterosexual cis-gendered male.
This means the only way to end “whiteness” is to end the institutions altogether. Progmerica’s Harvard is gone altogether in Progtopia.
The language game they create for America is based on America’s sins. The “woke” serve as Absolom (2nd Samuel 15) outside the gates of Jerusalem, whose beauty and hair were the pride of Jerusalem.
The woke equip themselves in outfits and hair that appeal to children, their main source for recruitment. The schools, the kids’ shows, the news sources for their favorite influencers, are all spaces for wokeness to tell children there is injustice, but with them in power, there will be justice.
They tell the children enough truths, that America was born with slavery written into her constitution, to tell the children a whole series of lies. They whisper, shout, and subliminally imply, “Were we the new power, we would judge rightly with ‘social justice.’”
The root of all their lies that enables what follows (overt violations of American standards) is the lie that the white heterosexual cis-gendered male invented slavery. After they sell the lie that the white devil invented slavery, they then continue with the lie that the white devil invented Christianity. After that, the American republic itself falls under their flames.
These flames are created by the real fear of the white devil, who invented evil and intends on murdering all hope. These flames also create opportunities to pillage the white man, which gains them more recruits, recruits they desperately need to recruit the children, white middle-class women.
It is this class of woman, the Progmerican white woman, who is the primary enabler and driver of the lies being told to our children in public schools every day. They account for 62% of all public-school teachers, a 24-point majority built into the system, a system that is aggressively Progmerican in its teaching. I would argue they have also been the biggest benefactor of the new wokeness.
Their intended “allies’” benefits weren’t nearly as enriching to the communities as a whole as they have been to the white middle class Progmerican women’s community (this is in large part why transgenderism has gotten the check it has, for it began to threaten white Progmerican woman power).
Our public schools are leading children to believe they are either the victim of a white devil that is built into their very school desks or they’re born of a white devil whose skin covers their own bones, their own flesh, leaving them naked and exposed as an unredeemable sinner. Like the black man that could not hide in a white man’s crowd, the white child cannot hide in a “person of color’s” crowd.
The Progmerican language game began by feeding on America’s rightly earned guilt for having a couple of centuries of real white supremacist history that was only broken in the 1980s (the 50s-70s were the transition away from a fundamentally white supremacist culture).
The stewards of American power, the leaders of the institutions that train our teachers, were not able to keep the woke out of their institutions.
They had no mechanism to filter them with because they operated under largely Americanist standards. They also had no mechanism COMPELLING them to filter such anti-Americanists from their institutions. Dissenting views should be welcome in academia, so cutting out American citizens who happen to have some unamerican views would be antithetical to Americanism.
This is what let the woke in, but the woke do not share our views; the woke are NOT American.
When they entered our institutions, they quickly set about slowly freezing Americans out of their own institutions. Then the process of exaptation began, of repurposing a design to serve a decidedly different end.
Every American institution was converted to what we are calling a Progmerican one, which represents the scaffolding underneath, the bones of the American institutions, with their new head, Progressivism.
I chose the term progressive because it has been the most consistently used term by leftists who knew from the start that their project was about exapting America-making institutions so they become Progressive-making institutions. Neo-liberals and neo-cons alike have been variably comfortable with that term.
It is only the rise of disruptive decentralizing technologies that have prevented the project, Progmericanism, from reaching its fulfilment, its ability to shed the bones of America altogether.
It wants to openly be what it always was, Progtopia. This project will officially jettison the U.S. constitution and replace it with something radically different, something that allows central planners to move on the fly to dramatically alter human action, with violence, if necessary, for the good of the whole.
Progmericans are like the Iranian Islamists, who believe it is proper to lie, cheat, steal, and murder to usher in the age of Utopia. This makes it easy for them to use the language of Americanism, but with radically different definitions. This is pre-emptive deception.
They know they are attempting to alter your heuristics, without your consent, using de facto threats of social ostracism and market death to cement that heuristic conditioning in you. Now, without realizing it, you are already becoming a Progmerican in uncritical habits of being.
This ethical duplicity allows them to appeal to free speech in the American sense when the courts have an American judge, and THEY are the defendants.
Yet as prosecutors and judges in that same court, they will implicitly use the woke standard of “free speech.” The woke standard holds that freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences, and the consequences they are describing involves mob threats of gatekeepers to economically assassinate you. Any effort by an American to find relief in a Progmerican-controlled court is already doomed to fail before the case is ever heard.
When they say freedom of speech among themselves, they understand it means speech that aligns with the woke orthodoxy as mostly defined by academia (as I believe it still mostly is). That “freedom of speech” also includes the compulsion to speak when others violate the woke orthodoxy as defined by academia.
It also includes the compulsion to not call abortion murder or homosexuality sinful because that affects “marginalized” groups (meaning higher castes in the woke hierarchy of caste value).
Their language game allows them to chastise you ONLY if one of these conditions is true; 1. You seek to be justified according to their standards; 2. They have the power to compel gatekeepers to cut you out of public space.
For the former, if you are an Americanist, you understand what they’re demanding is a violation of the spirit of America, our bravery. We ARE the home of the brave so long as we have a people that are NOT AFRAID of losing fairly in the public square and are NOT AFRAID of others being wrong in public space.
Their standards require a denial of both. They require a gaming of the system by gatekeepers, from the top down, to assure only their kind gets through to the public space where the world might see them. They empower the mob and/or the gatekeepers to be the arbiters of “right” and “wrong” thought that should be tolerated in public space.
From a governance standards perspective, they are not Americans, right from the start. They refute the individual in favor of the social. This is why they say, “social justice” and not “American justice,” for “social justice” is based on caste-system justice, where the punishments and mercies are based primarily on your caste position, not the merits of the situation being adjudicated.
At this point, their only effectiveness over you is their ability to end your public face. Yet that isn’t going as well as it has in the past, but that doesn’t mean the future might not restore that power for them, or even increase it.
America had no defense against the wolf coming into the sheep pen. And now the wolf is just about out of his sheep costume altogether, ready to devour America from within and declare the sheep pen a den of wolves, Progtopia.
In future issues, I hope to expand on my thoughts for what we as Americans can do to at least create an invitation for the people of this land to choose Americanism over the competing new civilizations, which include Progtopia and what I am calling, for now, Trumpmerica (the liminal state between Progmerica and America that, if chosen, will collapse into Progmerica soon after).
I wanted to plant a seed, one that illustrates the critical fail problem of America, its inability to keep the wolves out. Our openness is our strength, but it is also our weakness.
We want to sustain and restore as much openness as possible without allowing closed system thinkers to enter into our institutions and shut the door behind them.
What I propose, in general is the creation of a Bill of Rights coalition of people willing to plumbline their local, state, and national leaders with a questionnaire on whether or not they support the Bill of Rights. From this, we begin to identify Americans, not just among the leaders (there are still a few) but also among ourselves.
The leaders we will target will be market, social, civic, and sacred leaders. We will make their views known, and their refusal to participate in the survey known.
Our purpose is to find Americans among our leaders and make it visible to everyone who is in defiance of these standards. Our secondary purpose is to find enough Americans to form two political parties, both of which agree to run in a special primary open to the general public. The losing party will support the winning party in the general election.
One party will be the Americanist Right. It will support conservative ideas, limited government, strong military, etc., but all within the boundaries of the Bill of Rights.
One party will be the Americanist Left. It will support leftist ideas, like taxing the rich more, having more government social welfare programs, but ALL within the boundaries of the Bill of Rights.
BOTH parties should be pro-self-defense.
The state’s position on abortion, within the Americanist framework, is ambiguous, therefore abortion should be settled by the states, preferably through direct voting by the people, not the legislatures.
This writer holds that states that legalize abortion undermine the fundamental Americanist presumption, that ALL individuals have self-stewardship “rights” given to them by someone/something outside of creation itself. Let the states bear the fruit of allowing or preventing abortions. Let the states that thrive lead the other states to follow their lead.
BOTH parties would be committed to rallying support to pass two amendments, one which would make citizenship a consensual contract the resident must decide to enter into. There would be no more birthright citizenships, not even for children born to American citizens.
The resident would have to go through a form of Americanist “catechism” of sorts and demonstrate in some form a profound understanding of what it means to be citizen in the land of the free, the home of the brave.
This amendment would take effect 6 months after final ratification. It would not be retroactively applied.
Residents would have all the basic rights of citizens other than facing limitations on free speech, having the right to bear arms, and voting in most elections. Residents can vote in any election in which a tax rate that affects them is being voted on.
Residents would pay less taxes than citizens, they couldn’t serve in the military (or be drafted, if we preserve that anti-American standard), nor could they be compelled to serve on juries.
The second amendment would make it a citizenship violation to express gatekeeping standards in the civic, market, sacred, or social public space that would fundamentally impede the ability of Americans to participate in these public spaces or practice their own standards in private spaces.
If you call for gun control laws outside of calling for an Amendment to change our 2nd Amendment standards, then you have committed a citizen violation. There would be levels of punishment based on the severity of the offense and the frequency of offenses. Most offenses would require a fine and some form of remote training in citizenship standards.
One basic requirement for a charge would be having an audience of a certain number (whatever that might be) to protect citizens from private secret-police-type machinations. The speech in homes, for instance, is not intended to be monitored, nor is public speech to a handful of people (other than the limits that are already there, like making death threats).
Above all else, the mechanism must have a path for restoration for all but the most egregious and repetitive offenses.
Any creation of any tool risks exaptation, meaning this tool in the hands of progressives would be used to eliminate Americans from the citizen roles PERMANENTLY. Such a tool has built-in risks.
But what we can see today is that having NO MEANS of filtering out from citizenship privilege the truly anti-American subversive is absolutely unsustainable.
What I propose here might not be the optimal solution (if there is one). The challenge is significant. It is to sustain as broad a coalition of people without becoming so indistinct it collapses into nothing. With no real barrier to natural-born citizenship, and no real standard for excluding citizenship, our enemies have no need for Trojan Horses.
All they have to do is wave the American flag coming in, saying “equality,” not liberty, and once they are in, wave their Progtopian flags (they have many, including the flag of Hamas).
But with these two amendments, they now must publicly CHOOSE American standards and CHOOSE to be held accountable by them, else they lose the privilege of being an American citizen, the “right” to be a self-stewarded individual (for they demonstrated no respect for the self-stewardship capacity of their neighbors).
I have a domain name, Americanist.Party, which could be used for this project should it gain enough traction. If you have your own thoughts on what we can do to restore, fulfill, and preserve Americanism in these lands, write to us at MIAMailroom@gmail.com
