Trump: The Achievement of Reality in Politics

“Indeed, just in October, the 31-year-old Sebastian Kurz was elected chancellor of Austria; he holds populist-nationalist views on immigration that can only be described as Trumpian.”

“Populism is now the predominant form of government in a huge, populous, and strategically crucial part of Central Europe. It is now possible to drive from the Baltic Sea all the way to the Aegean without once leaving a country ruled by a populist.”

Meaning Europe is in the verge of Existence.

"Indeed, as this writer has observed, it’s a paradox that the populist-nationalists are strongest in the countries that were once dominated by Soviet-imposed communism; in reaction to that harsh experience, they are now on the right. "

No no little kitty. What happened is that the Soviet Union oppressed, where the NATO/EU/Liberals tamed their populations.
As a result the West is biologically tamed, infertile, transgender, man-phobic and close to dead. And the East is just… untamed.

The matter of Austria is very interesting.
Non-populist Dutch leader Mark Rutte spent the first day of the new year on a visit to the new Austrian Chancellor Kurtz.
We might say he “went upriver”, haha.

In any case, the two appear to have found more than a few points of agreement.

Rutte came home reporting that they “largely agree”. He named issues such as building a strong monetary union where everyone is obliged to do his part. What he didn’t mention explicitly but implicitly signals to condone is Kurtz stance on immigration, which simply is the will of the Austrians and of all the populations in Europe. That they have had enough. Austria has been forced to welcome a number of immigrants exceeding 1% of its native population. That is obviously untenable and this has led to the unlikely scenario of a 31 year old in power.

The problem with the monetary union is that to wield it as an instrument of power, one needs to be able to control the currency like the FED does with the Dollar, and Europe is stil a very long way removed from being so politically cohesive and centralized as to be able to pull that sort of stuff. It is all quite hard to map, but it seems that a strong monetary union requires a strong federal union.

No one wants a strong federal Europe. That is: no one wants to be governed by pale criminals from Brussels.

The only way of being governed with justification, is when there is justified pride involved.

The reborn self-valuing of America

We might say that the achievement of reality in politics happened first through Vladimir Putin. But this was Russian politics, which is a completely alien universe, compared to American politics. I, as a Dutchman, have much more to do with American politics than with Russian politics, at least in the sense of how my own government works, how it is embedded in financial structures that are shared across the West. In this financial paradigm, Trump is the first who is not a complete fantasy-image but an actual player, an agent, an actor. Not a play-act but someone who acts, does things, rather than merely saying things and having his handlers do the exact opposite, of which Obama was a shining example.

But about Russia and Putin. It is not entirely random that the crazies in the US tied Trump to Putin in their thinking, as both men actually are men, persons with a will, and a character (and a fate). They are both men that have worked “the machine” for their entire professional lives, and who managed, through unbelievably intelligent maneuvering and playing with magnificent skill and sensibility the apparatuses of their respective states, to manifest a position of leadership in their countries that had not existed in either of these countries for at least half a century.

What remains now, is the achievement of reality in European politics. I will carefully suggest something now: Russia is European nation. I mean, this is a fact, Petersburg and Moscow are European cities, the fertile black triangle (Chernozem) of Russia is European as well. Its authors are Europes most and best respected. And this has been Putins message as well: let us in, stop demonizing us, you are demonizing yourself.

I am not saying Europe should consider inviting Russia to be a EU member instead of Turkey, even though naturally it is infinitely preferable to have Russia as a member than Turkey - Russia raises cultural standards and military safety, where Turkey completely demolishes both. But the EU is not my favourite institution at all, so I won’t advocate its expansion. However, it is necessity that Russia is accepted as a European nation, incidentally the one that beat back Hoitlorrr.

Ill put it stronger: Europe is nothing without Russia. It is not a continent without Russia, nor can there by a European society without Russia. It is the leading nation of the East, and all the countries with which the EU was expanded under Oinklish pressure are states that are cultural shadows of Russia, the only value of which for the EU establishment at that point was as bounty stolen from Russian realm. But that didn’t work. Russia began to grow stronger, and Europe started to collapse. Some things you just can’t change.

One of the first steps European leaders of industry must take now is to propose to further the plans Putin put forth for the intercontinental, Transsiberian, Transalaskan highway between London and New York. Vast, vast profits will be inevitable for all involved parties, profits economic as well as cultural. Such a highway could become a spine to an entirely new-born world of optimism and cultural advance.

The Russians were the first to put a man in space. They are the boldest nation under the Sun. Europe must be very thankful to have this power now willing to do so much in service of its continent, which still needs to prove to be worthy of Russian favours and loyalty. And that would, as I see it, be the achievement of reality in European politics: to find a way in which Europe can remain Americas first ally as well as a continent that has Russia among its nations.

The book looks very nice, I will order a copy. Thanks.

I am very much in support of Trump and what he represents, but I cannot find so easy support for Russia or Putin except in the sense that Putin is resisting the EU globalists and thus acting as an important check against their power. But modern Russia is essentially a mafia state, a true oligarchy with very limited free expression powers of its people and the easy ability of the government to apply police state tactics to silence or kill those who speak out against it. The killing of journalists (some of whom I am sure were secretly CIA operatives), for example.

And yes the USSR beat back Hitler, but only after it at first sided with him and cooperated/coordinated with him.

Of course we all know that western nations, America and European ones, probably Canada too even, engage in these secret police state tactics, oligarchical preferential structures underneath ostensible leadership, and that many system are run by mafia-like groups. So it’s not perhaps too damning by comparison to say that Russia also does such things, and indeed in terms of realpolitik and will to power logistics I do not doubt that such things are to a degree quite necessary or at least quite inevitable. But neither am I in favor of justifying and praising such things either. In fact part of my opposition to globalist neolibs/neocons in the West is that they engage in such practices, to the maximum extreme possible that they can get away with doing so. I may realize that some crime and mafia systems are inevitable and preferable to perhaps worse alternatives, but that doesn’t mean I want to live in an openly criminal mafia state either. And I’m not even sure that Russia is such an openly criminal mafia state, I have never been there. But it seems like a possibility. I’ll be hopeful some people here can share experiences and reasons for or against that assertion.

Now let us suppose that a large part of Putin’s more, let’s say undesirable characteristics, come from how Russia has been alienated by the rest of Europe. Of course it is much deeper, since the EuroGlobalists have tried to overthrow Russian government many times (Marxism notwithstanding, even). Suppose that a more Trumpian paradigm takes hold in Europe and European states become less antagonistic of Russia, so that Russia can begin to open itself up to the possibility of less police state power and to shift degrees of power more to its people. I would see that as a great development. But in order for that to occur, we must crush the globalists first.

“Be careful that when you fight monsters you do not also become a monster”, as Nietzsche said. Well that works the other way around, too: Be careful that when you fight monsters you do not not also become a monster lest you be… eaten by monsters. Yeah well, the power of these metaphors is pretty limited, but the needed conceptual space-expansion is present in it. Let’s keep going.

I think I’m in the “Trump is good if you ignore what he says and look at what he does” camp.

I like what he says too.

We’re going to build that wall (looks at clock, any day right?) but not until we legalize 900,000 already illegals in the country first which after his term will be just another amnesty bill in the waiting. (Democrats and republicans need that cheap labor don’t you know so that discussions of raising wages domestically for the working class can be firmly ignored.)

Tax cuts for the very wealthy, campaigned as being anti war yet expands war seeking hostilities with North Korea along with other nations, can’t even try to reform healthcare access, zionist, Talmudic family, administration full of ex Goldman Sachs members including the weasel Gary Cohen, and claims to be conservative while adding more financial debt to a country that is dying internally because of it. Claimed during the campaign to be tough on Hillary Clinton yet zero investigations or prosecutions has been accomplished.

Says he is a nationalist (more like a civic nationalist asshat) yet attends Davos the international forum of globalists. Makes threats against NAFTA but does nothing about it and threatens China publicly with a trade war but everybody knows that privately Uncle Sam is the shoe shine boy of the Chinese government concerning international trade.

Yeah, Donald Trump is great. He’s bigly great…

What’s not to like about the man? This is just a few things I can think of at the top of my head as I’m sure I can think of other things that I dislike about him later.

You loved trump 6 months ago. What happened?

I never loved or liked him, I was hopeful about him which only lasted two months until I started to understand his agenda and where he came from. I didn’t vote in 2016 and I have no regrets not doing so either, nothing of value was lost.

Cutting Medicaid and Food Stamp programs to increase military spending? That ought to go well…

We’ve officially entered Third World political discourse in the United States.

Haha.

Fixing a degraded military, and reducing massive social spending debt-excess welfare programs, getting big brother government more out of the private sector so prices can actually go down and efficiency can actually go up… that is “third world”? Loooool.

Leftists, oh how priceless.

Your mistake is assuming anybody against Trump is a raging Marxist or democrat.

Perhaps you missed my signature where I essentially say fuck both the democratic and republican parties. You can glorify the military all you want but once World War III starts in earnest threatening the entire planet while a majority of Americans suffer in soul crushing poverty just so that it remains funded perhaps someday you will change your tune.

Also, the United States military isn’t degraded. The United States throws more money at its military than all the nations on earth combined spends on theirs. You’re delusional.

You know what fuck it, I really do hope they do cut food stamps and make it harder for poor people to feed themselves. Remember, people are only seven to eight meals way from going ape shit.

Do it, I triple dare you to do it…

Blue Apron style rotten tomatoes, potatoes, squash, and carrots delivered to poor resident homes, what’s not to like? In Soviet Russia what was the promise again, a guaranteed chicken in every pot? In the U.S.S.A. will it be, a rotten tomato and potato in every poor person’s cooking pot? At least the Soviets were promised whole entire chickens…

This shitshow can’t collapse fast enough, still not collapsing fast enough as I would like it to.

sighs

Now they’re floating the idea of a $0.25 tax on gasoline to fund the military and other government programs under Trump, fucking hilarious! :laughing:

I hate capitalism, the only thing I thought I liked about Trump was his supposed nationalism, but as we both know, he’s a Zionist shill, three of five of his kids married Jews, and last I heard another one of them is dating one.
His administration is crawling, slithering…swarming with Zionists, exposing much of the so called ‘alt media’ who refuse to condemn him for it as shills also, I wouldn’t be surprised if he does everything for Israel and nothing for America, and doesn’t make good on any of his promises.
Yea I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this narcissistic psychopath got us into WW3.

Trump is cutting food stamps?
Holy fuck man, I can’t say I envy you guys.
At least he’s making things very interesting, like you said, people are only a few missed meals away from going ape shit.
Trump has never had to struggle for anything in his life, he’s living in fantasy land, he may push too far, too fast, which yea, might be good in a roundabout way, if it causes people to revolt.
