Too Big To Publish

Vox heralds the endless contraction of the (big) publishing world.

The publishing world is under ever-tightening control. An agent explains why this is going to make things worse for authors and readers alike.

By 2022, we will be down to The Big 4 – Penguin Simon & Random House, Hachette, Macmillan, and Harper Collins Houghton Mifflin Harcourt – plus a smattering of some mid-size but growing independents. And that’s it.This contraction significantly impacts writers an authors, and here’s why:

Read the whys part. Also, look at some of the comments about the Amazon Question. I’ve never signed up for Unlimited, as a reader or as an author. There’s just something fishy about it – beyond the obvious monopolization factor. In fact, at some point, I envision leaving Big A for either my own branded site backed by an on-demand outfit or else going with someone like Castalia (if they’d have me). As-is, I wouldn’t even consider wasting time with the gatekeepers of the Bigs.

The Evils of Free Trade

Add this to debt, immigration, etc. Read the whole thing, an excellent Biblical breakdown of the lies so many conservatives and libertarians champion.

4.1 Free trade harms family – Unrestricted trade can make you rich, but it also harms the family, because it requires free movement of people, hence family move away from each other. This lowers natural support networks, puts higher pressure on families, and incentivizes having less kids.

4.1.1 Ironically, how much money do people spend on before-school and afterschool care, day-care, babysitting, and other care, because they moved away from family to make money?

4.1.2 How many people do you know, who have worked hard to gain worldly wealth and prestige, would give it all up to have their family back? The Bible teaches us the wisdom of making what we have serve us, and God, not the other way around.

4.2 Free trade encourages a culture that worships money, because everything is a commodity, including people. The problem with this mindset is that your nation becomes willing to sell anything for financial gain, and before you know it, you have very little ability to manufacture anything, homelessness is increasing, other nations own your land, and you stand exposed before the world, with big hoards of wealth, and no way to protect them. Sound familiar?

4.2.1 This also makes people replaceable, because you only see them in economic terms, rather than as fellow countrymen. This is why so many business leaders will move their business overseas, or hire cheaper foreign labour, because their only loyalty is to money. This is not good for a nation.

Matt also correctly notes that this globalist hell on earth is much worse than Communism. That’s why Russia and the nations of Eastern Europe have successfully emerged from the shackles of the USSR and why the USSA has permanently finished off the American nation and people. Boomers in the US didn’t necessarily start this cycle, but they were the last to benefit from it and the last who could have reversed it. They didn’t. You wicked, stupid fucks can laugh all you want to about the mistakes of the Millennials, etc. – it won’t save you. I’ve had more than one Boomer tell me to my face, always with an idiotic chuckle, that they would be dead by the time things got really bad. Oops! Looks like someone miscalculated. Thanks to the destruction of families in the vain chase of material wealth, many Boomers will die alone in “care” homes overseen by third-worlders who hate them. The wages of sin…

Worse Than The Camp of the Saints

That’s what the USSA faces. PCR lays it out in a near-irrefutable fashion.

The situation in the United States is far more serious than in France. In the United States the authorities have brainwashed themselves with their belief in “American exceptionalism.” Consequently, warnings are not even acknowledged. I have been pointing out the ongoing American collapse for years, and it has never produced a debate.

It is too late for France and the US. If you read The Camp of the Saints, you will be brought face to face wth your own fate. The Democrats, the media, the woke “intellectuals,” the universities, and the public schools are hard at work preparing our doom. The United States are now the Disunited States. The blue states believe in white guilt, critical race theory, systemic racism, identity politics, and that all products of Western civilization, even mathematics, are symbols and devices of white supremacy. The red states do not have an understanding of the ideological assault that has been mounted against them. Their president was removed from office in a stolen election that was in every sense a coup, and the Red States accepted the removal of their president. The red states still believe in America even though America has ceased to exist. White people in general have been infused with a sense of guilt and are weakened in their own defense by self-doubt. Their monuments are removed, their history rewritten, their art and music denounced as racist, and their children turned against them in public schools and universities.

If you require more evidence of American collapse and the generalized collapse of Western civilization, read the last three chapters of Andrei Martyanov’s book, Disintegration: The Coming American Collapse (https://www.claritypress.com/product/disintegration-indicators-of-the-coming-american-collapse/ ). Actually, the collapse has already arrived. We just haven’t yet recognized it.

I do not think France is too far gone at this point, being roughly, demographically where the old US was around 1970 or 1980. But their time is running short. Time is up and over in the USSA. People, even some of the really stupid, are about to recognize it.

Tony Fauci, for once, was honest about something:

Anthony S. Fauci, the Biden administration’s chief medical adviser, urged India to explore ways its military could help alleviate the crisis, saying the situation is “like a war” in an interview with the Indian Express newspaper.

That’s right, Chicken Little, this whole thing is “like a war.” And, accordingly, people like you are like war criminals.

All (except Fauci and Co.): happy May.

Florida moves to protect online free speech (for politicians…):

Florida is on track to be the first state in the nation to punish social media companies that ban politicians like former President Donald Trump under a bill approved Thursday by the state’s Republican-led Legislature.

Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican and close Trump ally who called for the bill’s passage, is expected to sign the legislation into law, but the proposal appears destined to be challenged in court after a tech industry trade group called it a violation of the First Amendment speech rights of corporations.

Yes, Big Tech, tell us more about the “rights” of government-created artificial entities that don’t really exist. Here’s a fun term: disincorporation!

*This, I think, concludes blog business for April 2021. Thank you. See you in May.

Fruits of the Wicked G-g-generation

Roosh linked to this article which, as well as any, explains the evil wrought by the accursed Boomers, here, particularly, as to and against the Millennials.

Boomers have a perpetual teenage mentality that their parents never understood, and they raised us to be the eternal teenagers they didn’t get to be. When you’re 17, the idea of just buying cool stuff, having consequence-free sex, and binge-consuming media for the rest of your life sounds fantastic. You do not understand that when you are 40, you will not want that any more. There are tons of guys my age and younger, who wear Star Wars T-shirts, collect Marvel Funko Pops, and have gotten vasectomies, and they have no idea why they’re so miserable. There are women my age who just broke up with another live-in boyfriend of three years and have no children.   So here we are, and we’re falling apart. Our parents instilled in us a totalizing selfishness that they never got to indulge, assuring us that marriage and family “would just come” when “the time is right.” As far as they were concerned, that’s just what happens. Except it “just happened” to them because of all the social capital of previous generations that was still there for them, which they razed to the ground. Now my generation is absolutely miserable, because we’re reaching that age where your brain shifts modes from “consume and copulate” to “prepare your offspring for adulthood,” and we don’t understand that’s what is actually happening. Women of my generation have been told their entire lives that loneliness is a psychological disorder, that children are parasites, and that exhausting yourself for 40 hours a week at work is the meaning of life. It turns out that continuing to live as though you were a teenager does not in fact bequeath eternal youth. “Age is just a number” is the most insidious of all Boomer proverbs.

Read the whole thing. I’ve written before that my generation was the very last to witness some semblance of America before the Boomers destroyed it. We were the first generation thrust into the new, satanic experiment before it became the new status quo system. The Millennials were the first to grow up fully immersed in that new, evil system. Now they are waking up and realizing exactly how they have been abused and robbed. I pray there is still hope for them along with the Zoomers and the Alphas. Some good news: over 27% of Boomers have relieved us of their wicked stupidity!

Stern, Stupid Words From the Stupid Party

Watch out, fake president and war criminal “Biden!” The GOP has dusted off the bestest rhetoric in their arsenal!

After President Joe Biden lays out his ambitions to reshape the U.S. economy and address racial injustice on Wednesday, Republican Senator Tim Scott will argue that the Democratic agenda amounts to “Washington schemes” and “socialist dreams.”

A rising star in his party and the sole Black Republican in the Senate, Scott has promised to deliver an “honest conversation” and an “optimistic and hopeful message” in his own nationally televised remarks.

“Our best future won’t come from Washington schemes or socialist dreams. It will come from you — the American people,” Scott said in experts of his speech released ahead of delivery.

Bam! That settles it: no luciferian can withstand being called a socialist. The republic is saved! Tough, tough, empty, idiotic words – that “Biden” will completely ignore. Now, I expect the LP to deliver a response along the lines of “let’s make weed legal, maaaan…”
