The Smollett Snowball is Becoming an Avalanche

I was recently introduced to Dimtry Orlov’s 5 Stages of the Collapse:

Stage 1: Financial collapse. Faith in “business as usual” is lost.

Stage 2: Commercial collapse. Faith that “the market shall provide” is lost.

Stage 3: Political collapse. Faith that “the government will take care of you” is lost.

Stage 4: Social collapse. Faith that “your people will take care of you” is lost.

Stage 5: Cultural collapse. Faith in “the goodness of humanity” is lost.

We are on the verge of activating Stage 3.

You and I already know that the legal system is a joke.  By this point in our civilization’s decline they exist to 1) Fine resources out of the law-abiding citizens, 2) Terrorize and threaten the citizens into obedience, 3) Create the illusion of a stable system, while 4) Allowing the elites to run roughshod over us, as they go about kicking over one another’s sandcastles (a bon mot I stole from Orlov).  Report a property crime, and there’s only a 50% chance the police will file a report, and roughly a 10% chance they’ll use it as an excuse to invade your privacy and arrest you.  Yeah, yeah, welcome to Anarcho Tyranny.

But let’s not dismiss the importance of number three.  There’s an old saying in the security industry that “Locks just keep honest people honest.” The point being that most locks are fairly easy to pick, and they do little to stop the determined criminal, but their widespread presence stops the average person from messing about.  The same goes for the court system.  Even in a sane society, it functions mostly as a mythological figure.  Only about 10-30% of crimes are solvable, and it’s fairly easy to ensure that you’re outside of that category, but nonetheless – even the small possibility of legal consequences keeps most people from breaking the law.

Lawlessness is what happens when the mythology dies – and that’s what’s happening right now.  People are starting to notice that justice has a double-standard.

In this video Chris Rock is hosting the Image Awards, and he starts off by telling the audience that he was ordered not to joke about Smollett; he decides to joke anyway.

Here we see a protest by the Fraternal Order of Police in Chicago:

Opposite the street from them, Black Lives Matter was counter-protesting.  I wonder how long until the Blacks figure out that BLM is about as Black as the NAACP?  Spend a minute looking into either organization, and you’ll find out that those in charge aren’t Black… or White, for that matter…

Earlier in the weekend, a mob forced the Chicago PD to release a drug dealer who was under arrest – after all, if Smollett is above the law, why should an innocent drug dealer go to jail for a victimless crime?

I say again: you and I know that the legal system is a joke, but your average Normy Conformy still thinks the “Thin Blue Line” is actively working to hold back the tide of barbarism – and because of that belief, people behave as if the law exists.  If you ask your average Black person what’s holding them down, they’ll say “Racism!” – instead of looking at the particular ethnic group that’s pulling the strings, while fanning the flames of hatred between Blacks and Whites.  But the Smollett situation has the potential to put an end to all of that.

Let me emphasize something for the basement dwellers out there: Stage 3 failure is a very, very, very bad thing!  Best case scenario, it’s Russian gangsterdom, where if you sell your crops to the wrong warlord, you wind up tied down in a warehouse somewhere with electrodes connected to your genitals.  Worst case, it’s serfdom under the rule of foreign powers who hate you… and there’s a lot less social stability in America than there was in Soviet Russia.

The elites have a choice with how they’re gong to deal with this.  The first is pretend that nothing is happening, and continue to act lawlessly, until the mob has enough and Stage 3 hits.  Some of them might escape to freshly-disarmed New Zealand, but many of them are going to suffer the vengeance of the mob.  The second choice is admitting they went to far, trying to reestablish a bit of law and order, while designating some of their own as sacrificial sheep.  The problem with this is that the sick game they’ve been playing means everybody’s got dirt on everybody else.  I don’t think people will be satisfied with an Epstein-level slap on the wrist for child prostitution; they’re going to want some blood, and self sacrifice isn’t exactly part of their honour code.

The only possible out I see is if the Hollywood celebrities turn against their leash-holders.  Let’s be frank – most of Hollywood isn’t that bad, they’re just being blackmailed with videotapes of the mandatory homosexual encounters.  That stuff works in individual cases – but should they threaten to release all of the tapes, that only winds up proving that the Producers and Money Men are the ones behind it.  If your average cop starts behaving with some integrity – demanding a return to police work rather than radar-gunning citizens,  and the command structure supports them – that could do a lot to turn this situation around.

But given the perverse incentives that are rife throughout the system, I expect thing to continue getting worse.  Keep an eye on this Smollett situation – this could very well be the first domino that knocks the rest down.

    Been reading these guys for a while.

    Seems like a lot of manosphere guys are independently ending up at the same place.

    So your premise is stages one and two have already happened. Financial systems are broken. Markets don’t work. Congratulations on not making sense. Our political system is fucked, but the least concern is a black guy getting off on charges of producing a fake crime and blaming it on a plausible racist issue. You’re not concerned with people showing up at vigils for murdered Muslims wearing MAGA hats knowing full well what those hats represent.

    Davis, for such a smart person, you really are lost.

  3. @Dino: you’re putting words into my mouth. I never said that. If you read the original, the stages don’t necessarily happen sequentially; they’re all moving at different rates.

    “You’re not concerned with people showing up at vigils for murdered Muslims wearing MAGA hats knowing full well what those hats represent.”

    What you think they represent, and what the wearers think they represent, are two different things. I’d probably have to spend about 20 minutes explaining to you that your assumptions about me are wrong, before I could even begin to explain to you what I think about that situation.

    I’ve got a minute. Point me in the right direction.

    Everyone on the maul-right is slowly starting to understand the one group behind most of their troubles. They may not be the entire cause for any issues the West faces today, but they definitively have been the instigators and promoters of most of the degeneracy that we see in society today. I’ve been following the manosphere and maul-right blogs for a while, while also following the activities of the special ones. It’s about time we got our Anduril back. We gotta win back the West before it’s too late. Vive Les Blancs.

  6. @Lowly – check that video I posted in the previous entry by E. Michael Jones (the last one in the thread).

    Aurini – what they represent to them is how they want the rest of us to see them. That’s what projection is. Showing up at a vigil to stir up emotions demonstrates the genuine audacity and lack of empathy those people have.

    And if you were just recently introduced to some kind of conspiracy collapse theory, you’re not an expert on it. And applying it to the Smollet debacle is just reaching for a connection.

  8. They probably think they represent civic nationalism; that both White Men and Muslim Women can work together to Make America Great Again. You think they represent White Supremacy. I think they represent a failed Free Masonic pseudo-state. Stop being so judgmental and blind of others.

  9. Dino says:

    You’re a galaxy-brained conspiracy theorist. There’s nothing to the Smollett case except fodder for right-wing chuds to masturbate to. Those that wear the MAGA hats knowing full well how others will perceive it aren’t doing it in good faith. Quit fucking lying, for once.
