The Brits love milkshake-throwing. Acid attacks are so common over there that a milkshake is a relief.

Milkshake-throwing has made it over here, to the annoyance of its victims… but all it’s going to take is one acid attack, and the instant reaction of anyone in a free state is going to involve high velocity lead poisoning.

There is going to be an eventual reckoning for all this crap. . . .

So let it be written, so let it be done.

What you need to fear is when a critical mass is reached, and the public consensus turns to violence. Once things like milkshakes and the other Antifa BS are normalized, it isn’t too much further down the road that the normies decide that if that’s the way things are going to be, that’s the way things are going to be. Right now, the Left is operating inside the penumbra of normality, and once the shadow goes away…? Yeah.

In Chile and Spain, they needed an autocrat. Americans self-organize, and the resultant aftermath of that isn’t going to be anything any of us are going to like. Pendulum swings back eventually, and the further you push it off-center, the faster and harder it goes back the other way.

There is going to be an eventual reckoning for all this crap, and when it comes…? Don’t be standing in the way, is all I can advise. I strongly suspect that there is going to be a comeuppance due all these SJW types, and the more outre they are now, the more horrible their fates are going to be in the chaos coming as the “new normal” gets established.

I suspect that we’re in for a major re-centering of things, after something horrendous happens. Maybe Ebola breaking out of containment in Central Africa, and the resulting worldwide plague utterly discrediting all the current elites, maybe something else entirely. You look around, and you get the distinct feeling that things cannot go on as they have been, and that the general incompetence and unworldliness of the jackasses running things cannot possibly work out. Something is going to Black Swan these arrogant bastards, and I don’t know what form it will take. All I know is that their hubris is tempting Nemesis, and I dread her immanentization. She’s got to be loaded for bear, by now…

This crap is why Diamond is never getting another dime of mine–He’s a fraud. He mouths the words of reason, but he’s another left-wing ideologue himself.

Pinochet was someone who’d go down in history as a hero, were he to be honestly evaluated. People keep forgetting that the military coup he led was requested by the same people Diamond here is lauding as “democratic”, because Allende was going down the same path that Castro and others had blazed, towards totalitarianism.

You put these idealists in charge, who have no real idea of how things actually work, and what you wind up with is disaster. Allende, unstopped, would have done to Chile exactly what Chavez and Maduro have done to Venezuela, and idiots like Diamond would be bleating about how “unexpected” and “unpredictable” it all was, as everyone starved around them. Of course, being foreigners, they would do so from a safe vantage point here in the US, just like Sean Penn and the rest of his ilk.

The only rational response to the left is precisely what Pinochet did: Round them up, and slaughter them before they slaughter you. What convinced Pinochet to do the coup? Allende’s plans to purge the Chilean military leaked out, and the majority of the leadership’s heads were literally on the chopping block. Instead of a nightmare left-wing dictatorship, you got twenty years or so of Pinochet, and a peaceful return to civilian democracy.

This “analysis” of Diamond’s is consonant with his ideological indoctrination, and the rest of his positioning as a member of the “enlightened elite”, a group I think we would be wise to purge from public access to power or any sort of pulpit. Know them by their works, and the results: Idiots like Diamond are who worked to put creatures like Chavez in power in Venezuela, and who are notably not participating from the results of their purely ideological support of those regimes.
