Kherson, Kontrnastup, Krynki, Kharkov, Kursk

The Kauldrons…

Guys, there was the Kherson offensive in 2023, Ukrainians have concentrated their forces to kick the Russians from the Right Bank of the Kherson region, they managed to do it but at the cost of many casualties. The Russians have withdrawn to the left bank. All this time, the Russians spent building fortifications in the Zaporozhye region, which has stopped the Ukrainian Kontrnastup.

Kontrnastup is Ukrainian for counteroffensive, and the Ukrainian counteroffensive failed spectacularly. By now, the Russians have reconquered much of what Ukraine took in the counteroffensive. I never understood the folly of this action, it was planned to cut through Russian lines and reach Crimea. It was announced months before, and when it finally started, the Ukrops got spectacularly fucked over.

Russia basically follows this strategy. They attack at one point, and draw Ukrainian reinforcements to the theatre, then go on the defensive, and attack at another point. Like this they have seven or eight directions open. In Kherson, they went on the defensive. Ukraine kept sending special forces on inflatable boats across the Dnieper river near the town of Krynki. I heard Putin say in one interview that he allowed the Ukrainians to cross to destroy them on the Left Bank. It was quite a spectacle watching the whole protracted battle. I saw Ukrainian boats hunted with FPV drones, and Ukrainians using HIMARS to destroy Russian infantry with cluster rounds.

Russia allegedly has like 100k soldiers in Kherson and Zaporozhye now that are ready to pounce and conquer what remains of these province under the control of Ukraine. To draw more Ukrops into another theatre of war, Russia began a limited operation north of the city of Kharkov. Ukraine delegated its best forces to stop Russian advance on the city, even though taking the city was never the point but equally Ukraine couldn’t allow encirclement of Kharkov.

Further north in August this year, Ukraine launched the Kursk offensive and captured few border towns in the Russian region. I have pretty much felt the outcome from the start. This will be another Krynki. The Ukrainians will pour soldiers into this territory and meanwhile the Russians will mobilize forces and stop their advance. It will become another cauldron, where Ukrainian forces will be trapped.

One only wonders why they are continuing these offensives, where they get their asses kicked. Maybe because demonstrating territorial gains to Western military virgins signals strategic success. Ukraine would have been much better served if they built defenses and did everything to stop Russian advance. Ukraine is quite strong in the drone department but failed in building ground defenses substantially. Like this they are losing forces and hastening their demise.

Decentralized World

It is interesting how ideas and solutions that remove central authority and put power into the hands of individuals start to crop up…

I realized or rather discovered this after becoming thoroughly orange pilled. That is embracing Bitcoin. And well BTC is something that facilitates payments peer to peer without going through banks. It burst on the scene during the crisis of 2008, and “quantitative easing”. It presented a new take on money, money with a limited supply thus inflation prone, requiring proof of work to validate transactions. The beauty of BTC is it has no master, Satoshi Nakamoto is the mysterious founder of BTC and nobody knows who he is. He does not own Bitcoin, nobody does.

Governments and assholes want to control the media. They are deathly afraid of fake news. Disinformation can be dangerous because it can cause chaos but there is a lot of suppressed truth out there. But imagine bypassing the censors much like BTC bypasses the censors. Social media on a blockchain, where there is no management the government can phone and ask for people to be cancelled. I have also actually entertained the idea of blockchain voting.

Another thing that is emerging is the BRICS payment system. Murica has been able to get SWIFT to cancel Russia, thus this payment system was weaponized and ceased to be neutral. One of the criticisms of the BRICS is that it gathers countries which do not often see eye to eye. Russia-China-India seem unlikely allies given the history of clashes between these nations. But here lies the paradoxical strength of a shared payment system. Nobody would be in full control of it (hopefully) and its neutrality will be its strength. The new payment system comes on the backdrop of declining Western hegemony, and the emergence of a multipolar world. Can the World exist without a leading nation?

Also, the richer you are, the more ability you have to transcend the idea of belonging to a nation or state. If you have $100k (or more) to piss away, you can get a passport of some small island or some territory and take advantage of the perks there. These days we see a movement from the nation state towards universalist international blocks but I am interested in how an individual can do away with allegiance to a state. Is this possible? There are anarchist ideas of doing away with structures of hierarchy such as family, property (haves and havenots), and state.

Is doing away with hierarchy a utopian idea? How would you create a world that would satisfy everyone? Do we need to advance in technology to achieve a reality in which everyone would be able to grown into a viable adult without family, would be able to realize himself without money, would be secure and happy without property?

Owning nothing could probably lead to happiness because you would not have to worry about your possessions, more money more problems. But could I pursue my intellectual interests without money in today’s world? I could not! But imagine if the literature is all digitized, you can afford it with UBI, you can pay for your rent with a UBI, you can afford food with UBI, you can afford a computer with UBI, you can afford software with UBI? But the UBI will be distributed by the state and will amount to pittance that would barely pay for meal and lodgings.

So, while we can create a world without banks, without a single hegemonic superpower but it will take a while to do away with hierarchies in human society.

Digitalization, Electrification, Automation

It is all fine and dandy when the machine works…

So, last month I had one of those fun episodes when everything suddenly breaks. The automatic mower broke, the dishwasher broke, and I am still using my gasoline mower and doing the dishes in the sink.

I called the mower service dude, and he arrived and offered us verticutting services, he said the grass is too dense. Verticutting is something I do myself, I have the machine for it in the garage. So I did it, and generated a literal heap of grass. And then I turned on the automatic mower, and it still did not work. So I call the fool again, and the second time he said the motor broke. So the first time he was trying to offer me gardening services that I don’t need, I never needed them, and he lied to me. What a faggot!

And I am still waiting for a component into the dishwasher. Bottom line is, you should always have a legacy option available to these modern day appliances. Because relying on the new shit is a way to hell, and waiting on the service to do their job is further hell. Here in Czechia we have a Ministry for Digitalization…

Its track record is dismal, it will tank the current government in the next election. Sadly, the next government will push this digitalization shit too. You literally need a pen and paper contingency along with digitalization. You also need a lot of energy for all this. We need new nuclear reactors and solar panels on every roof, geothermal wells in every garden, and new distribution infrastructure. All this shit can light on fire at any time, it doesn’t work in summer heatwave, when it snows or it rains it also has problems, when it gets frosty it freezes.

Sweden and Finland are a Consolation Prize for NATO

Some people were trying to troll Russia with the ascendancy of Sweden and Finland into NATO…

But few people understand the fundamental difference between Sweden, Finland, the Baltic States and Ukraine. One only wonders why Russia didn’t do Moldova style Pridnestrovie republics in the Baltics to prevent them from joining NATO but I guess this has to do with Russia not really considering the Baltics to be that important. And the same applies to Finland and Sweden.

With Ukraine, the issue is that Ukraine is Russia’s cultural space. The area that is today the Baltic States became Russian only after the defeat of Sweden and subsequent divisions of the Rzeczpospolita in eighteenth century. Ukraine is the cradle of the Russian state, and while this might appear mystical and irrational to Westerners. The latter fail to recognize this psychological drive. Putin explained this in the interview with Tucker, I fell asleep twice trying to listen to it… Putin does not want to allow Ukraine to become anti-Russia.

Some out there argue that Peter the Great’s window to Europe was Russia’s historical mistake. Russia has for centuries tried to be part of the West, part of the European political landscape. Russia even imported the Marxist experiment from the West, and tried to cozy up to the West in the nineties. Only to find out that they have no place there. The idea to secure the Slavic core, and the idea to look East and South have finally come to the fore.

Ukraine is a fine piece of real estate. It has fertile soil, natural resources, and access to warm seas. The latter is very important for Russia because the Russians do not have many of those. And while the access to the global oceans from the Black Sea is controlled by NATO countries. The latter are bound by treaties to let Russian shipping through and as long as this happens, Russia does not care.

The issue with having Sweden and Finland in NATO is no big issue for Russia. These countries were for decades hostile to Russia, and it does not matter if they have a seat in the Brussels headquarters of NATO. Russia has one folder for NATO, and used to have a separate folder for Finland. Now Czechia is required to help Finland should it be attacked by Russia. Russia never had any territorial designs on these countries, it is not historically connected to them. One only wonders, whether losing their neutrality was the right step?

Islamization Will be the End of Wokeness

Wokeism is typical leftist politics, class warfare, cultural struggle. We have seen this in late eighteenth century France, we have seen it in Bolshevik Russia, we have seen it in Mao’s China. Every time this is an agressive cancer that attacks the host, and ends in conservative or at least moderate forces coming to end the party…

One of features of wokeist policy in Europe has been mass immigration from Muslim countries, and a parallel attack on things like family, the Christian religion, and national identity of the European natives. The fact is this is not even leftists anymore. Leftists were maybe at its origins but when centre right is in power they do jack shit to stop it. Remember Merkel, Refugees Welcome? Several Tory governments did nothing also, matter of fact they did the opposite. The current opposition is between globalist that suck Soros’ dick and various people that oppose them.

I believe that 30% is a critical mass, after which eventual Islamization is inevitable. Bet you all the incels will scream the shahada, incel to Islam pipeline is already an established fact. In fact, outfits like ISIS and Boko Haram are in their essence incel rape gangs. Embracing Islam is basically the rejection of the feminist, free love West that offers them no pussy, and is totally understandable from an evolutionary standpoint. We all wanna fuck and reproduce. There will also be a lot of opportunists and women embracing Islam.

Unless we natives of Europe round them up, and mass deport them back to Africa and the Middle East, the Muslims are here to stay. I don’t think the milk toast Sweden Democrats or AfD can do shit about it, these cunts are nothing but liberals. And liberals are gay. Entire areas will be Islamized. The Sweden Democrats or AfD might demand these Muslims follow the law of the land but unless they are willing to enforce the law, these are just empty demands. Many majority Muslim places are no go zones, and the police finds it hard to enforce law there. Sooner or later, the Muslims will institute their own law. And this is how it will look like:

Islam hates fags:

I find it absolutely cringe that libshits don’t have a fucking clue what Islam is. They think that everyone, who is not a white male should embrace their intersectionality bullshit. But Islam is a pre-modern desert cult that has no space for anything but itself.

Islam is right about women

Islam is extremely patriarchal, more so than European Christianity in its heyday. This is a culture, which makes women wear a literal bag over their heads, with a net so that she can see and get some molecules of air. Putting bitches in bags is literally misogynist’s dream. And apart from being covered, Muslim women also under go genital mutilation to reduce their sexual appetite. The latter practice is not really Islamic but many Muslims practice it. Also, Islam says that if your wife disobeys you, you should beat her. Where are intersectional feminists? The Koran says that if your wife blasphemes the almighty, you can kill her without consequence.

You can probably see that this shit is nowhere close to the liberal post-Christian utopia the woke crowd is building, and the center right is eagerly trying to preserve. So either, the West is going to have a brutally illiberal native backlash, or eventually Islam is going to institute its order. Either way, none of this means that woke shit will survive.

UBI, My Thoughts

I think UBI is inevitable…

Sooner or later, some government will roll this out as a populist measure. If the bullish predictions about AI are true, various white collar jobs like accounting, coding, writing, illustration will be relegated to the AI thus making a lot of people redundant and companies more productive. This will prompt the governments to give freebies to the populace, pacify the plebs with bread and games. Or rather give the rabble money to keep it fed and entertained.

There are many thoughts on this. Some people think that having a UBI would demotivate the people from finding a job. Now, as a someone that has several streams of passive income, I will tell you, I still prefer having a job because well, I have to get ready to get out, I have to shower, I have to shave, I am among people, I can even get pussy. Quite frankly, I make enough money to never leave my house. I could have food delivered to my doorstep, and just play video games all day. Although, the job gives me diversification of my income. And quite frankly, I dread the next year when my contract ends and I will have to find myself something new.

But here is something that might arise in near future. There will not be any jobs for people. So while it would be great to have a job, there might not be many to go by. Now, I believe that some people will start their own business, they might learn creative skills. Handmade artistic creations even aided by 3D printing have the potential to reintroduce the beautiful into the world, something that was lost with 20th century functionalism, the disappearance of the ornamental, simplicity and mass production replacing the applied arts. But I believe many will just become useless, not artistically gifted and without business acumen.

But keeping the people content with UBI does not sit well with me. I view this as dependence on the state, and any dependence on the state reminds me of this scene from Mad Max: Fury Road:

You just do not want to be dependent on the state that will give you fucking fiat. What is good at receiving fiat? I fear vendors will make sure you part with your fiat UBI as quickly as possible. And in this instance, I regret that people tend to think of financial handouts when speaking about UBI. Why can’t the plebs be getting stocks of companies, ETFs, gold bars, BTC, bonds or maybe all of the above for a diversified portfolio? Stocks can provide one with cash dividends, which can serve as a passive income. Granted, you need quite a portfolio for it to be worth it. All these AI companies that put people out of jobs could turn those people into stakeholders.

If everyone is a billionaire, a billion is worth nothing…

UBI will come but it will sadly make the people dependent on the state for handouts. You will have a UBI dependent class of basic consoomers, and anyone breaking beyond this line will be the winner unless the government taxes his ass into oblivion.

Taxes are a Big Part of my Life

So, I have just finished my VAT report. As a person with a business license in Czechia, I have to pay my VAT every month on the income I have made.

Income tax, capital gains tax, stamp duty, inheritance tax. The state needs to eat, we need money for Ukraine, money for refugees, money for green transition, money for single mothers. Everybody needs to eat. Eating and shitting is what this is all about… work slaves, pay taxes. I just payed like $3 for a loaf of bread here in Czechia.

By the way, taxes in Czechia hide under insurance payments like obligatory medical and semi-obligatory (for employers) social security, the latter is for pensions for boomers. If you have a business, social security payments are rather high because we have to punish people for being self employed. Wanna use the highway, buy a stamp. Stamp signifies tax paid.

Filing taxes are a big part of being an adult, avoiding tax is ascending…

Woke Left Will Unravel in a Spectacular Way

What actually is the woke left and why is it gear for a spectacular failure?

Well, the woke left follows so called Cultural Marxism. Leftoids say this is an antisemitic conspiracy theory because apparently the vast majority of the theorist of Cultural Marxism were Jewish, and it is apparently antisemitic to point this out. It is also a conspiracy theory because this ideology has pretty much taken over the campuses of Western universities, and you are a conspiracy theorist for pointing this out. These arguments are designed to attack the moral character of critics of the Left. But the so called Cultural Marxism has clear origins in the Frankfurt School, also known as the Institute for Social Research at the Goethe University Frankfurt. Which by the way existed on generous grants of a wealthy Jewish student that was into Marxism, Felix Weil.

The Frankfurt School was born out of a crisis of Marxist ideology that was apparent in latter nineteenth century. The Marxists could not reconcile the dogma laid down by their founder, Karl with the fact that far from being exploitative, the capitalist system was making the lives of ordinary people better. Mind you, the Imperial government of Germany instituted things like pension schemes, and the material wellbeing of the working class was steadily increasing. Theorists such as Eduard Bernstein for instance, rejected Marx’s notion that capitalism would collapse. Further dismay came from the general failure of Marxist revolutions following WWI. Bolsheviks, with their Red Terror were not exactly to the liking of the bona fide champagne socialists in Western capitals.

I don’t even know why it is still called Marxism, I guess such is the impact of that bearded knucklehead that this label cannot be escaped. Why not Leftwing Capitalism? (Also, terms like progressivism and postmodernism float around, make them make sense) Because this is what it actually is. The Frankfurt School with its synthesis of Marx and Freud provided a bourgeois friendly ideology which was more concerned with the rights of sexual minorities, and did not evoke the image of armed workers storming the palace. There was one Antonio Gramsci, who while languishing in prison in Mussolini’s Italy advocated for a slow march through the institutions, and this is exactly what they did. And quite frankly some of its championed causes kind of predate Marx himself.

For instance Feminism is a child of the revolutionary period of late eighteenth century. Socialism itself is not an idea original to Marx. Maybe this is because Marx was a rather unoriginal thinker and his theory was rather born of critique. Cultural Marxism replaces the working class with other disadvantaged groups, such as women, the LGBT, racial minorities, and also in recent years the disabled. Each group, in theory should support the other groups because they all have a single enemy, the white male. This is called intersectionality. For a long time this shit existed in universities, I remember having this taught to me in early 2000s. But since then it seems to have infiltrated other places, not just the government institutions but also the business sphere. In some places, this is the dominant ideology now.

It is interesting how everything this ideology touches is not improving but rather creating a backlash from the silent majority. It seems that these groups that the woke left champions aren’t well served by the leftoids. This was never really about helping the women, the gays, the refugees. This was about using these groups to gain power and grift some taxpayer cash. In many ways leftism is highly parasitic, it feeds on the carcass of liberalism, the gospel of liberty, equality, and fraternity and shits out stinky turds. And it is my contention that much like Bolshevism in Eastern Europe, eventually all this woke shit will be flushed down the toilet because it does not work, and people don’t want it.

Reigning ideologies have a staying power because the people invested in them are not going to easily let go but eventually they unravel, and the more you keep the lid on the better the show in the end. What I want to in the rest of the post is to explore some of the areas wokeism infests and how they are doing.

Feminism

Once upon a time, there was the idea of making women equal, giving them right to own property, the right not to be discriminated against in workplace. The problem is feminism was married to the Marxist idea of class struggle, this is how the gender war was begun. Women are labeled the historically oppressed class, and men are their oppressors. This is why women need to benefit from affirmative action, quotas, and male only spaces are sexist. This no longer is about equality of the sexes but rather the empowerment of women at the expense of men. It reaches ridiculous proportions when you have chubby police women, or secret service female officers in charge of protecting VIPs. The latter thing is a subject of widespread ridicule.

In entertainment, we have been getting Mary Sue characters, a girl boss that knows it all and can do it all, smelly men step aside, hear me roar! I don’t know if this is an attempt to empower the women, or gaslight the audiences. Wokeism is a one big mass gaslighting, it is presenting something obviously ideologically motivated, and then shaming your audience for noticing they are being propagandized in the lamest possible way. Lately there is also the trend of putting ugly women on screen because that also empowers the masses.

Feminism is a seriously maladaptive phenomenon to have in your society. It might benefit some companies that women apply for jobs but the latter cheapens the workforce, and now families need two incomes to sustain themselves. Women with children work less, and that’s why Feminism is highly antinatalist. Abortion is the main area of struggle for women today. Women wanna kill their kids while there is still time. The birthrates are dismal, and this is going to have dire consequences for the future. Low birthrates are exacerbated by Feminist campaigning, the various #MeToo and believe all women make men just simply quit.

LGBT

In a sense, LGBT is a baby of feminism. Back in the days it was the women, who were most supportive of gay rights. Ironically, the radical Feminists do not like guys that dress like women. On the other hand there are women that dress little boys in girl’s dresses because masculinity is evil. I have also heard about the sissy boy to cross dressing pipeline. Bottom line is these are some fucked up people, why do they get a platform?

Homosexuality was legalized like a long time ago but the grift must go on. Here in Czechia, all LGBT NGOs are sponsored by the state and somehow the change of government never means any change to this sponsorship. I could seethe about my taxes going to LGBT organizations, however it is worse than meets the eye. These organizations exist to propagandize the children, and Prague Parade is overtaken by people with kinks and fetishes. This is another form of gaslighting.

They want your kids! Drag Queen Story Hour didn’t come out of nowhere. Many pedos use drag as a cover. If the majority objects to your grooming, you can gaslight the majority with claims of transphobia. We don’t have to go far, recently, the online celebrity, Mr. Beast defended one of his collaborators in this way. Not to mention all the kids that are being sissified with puberty blockers. This is the end, my friends.

Racial and Ethnic Minorities

While Murica is naturally diverse, a country of immigrants and has migration of Latin Americans mostly, who pick cotton or something, in Europe things are a little different. While, immigration to Western Europe until the nineties was motivated by filling the void in workforce created by WWII, since then the “refugees welcome” mass immigration was largely ideology. Its purpose was to gaslight the right, the nationalists. Creating this diversity would put the native lower classes on the defensive. If they get defensive, the repressive apparatus of the state will be unleashed on them. Hate speech laws, behave peasants!

Middle class people, while economically right-wing have completely resigned on doing anything about mass immigration. The Conservatives in UK, or Christian Democrats in Germany all welcome immigrants. Not welcoming refugees will earn you the label “racist”, and this acts like cryptonite on the feckless center right. But mass immigration literally destroys communities. Western cities periodically erupt in riots. Usually some low life, like George Floyd, gets killed by the cops and this is seen as a license for other low lives to ransack the city. But the native population is not far behind, anti-minority violence is on the rise too.

The latter, that is the natives fighting back is being mercilessly suppressed by the authorities, this is called two-tier policing, this is building resentment, and creates an enemy out of the cops. Two-tier policing was introduced by woke activists, who thought police is institutionally racist against blacks. One only wonders what else is two-tier? BLM rioters were calling for the police to be defunded. Ironically, the absence of policing leads to shops being looted, and businesses closing shop in immigrant infested areas. The immigrants ironically are the losers here.

The woke policies with ethnic minorities also push for more diversity in the work place at the expense of particularly white men, although white women or Asians are also excluded. It is funny that the East Asians are discriminated against only because they happen to be economically and academically successful rather than being viewed as historic oppressors of darker races. In entertainment, for instance in historical dramas, blacks are cast in main roles, and if you complain, you will be called a bigot.

Will woke lead to broke?

I have been in the past more optimistic about the market dynamics when it comes to woke ideology but I have since become more skeptical. We are dealing here with ideologues, leftist ideologues, and the latter generally do not give a fuck about profitability. If they did, the Eastern Block would not go bankrupt in the eighties. These guys think they have a higher purpose, they think they are better than you, and they believe they are on a mission to spread the message. It makes them feel better about themselves.

But this is going to end badly, Western countries will be aging, with a disaffected male populace, infested by hostile immigrants. Drag queens are going to be the major form of entertainment. It is going to be fun.

I Became a Bitcoin Maxi

And this is my final verdict on cryptocurrency…

My plans to own a portfolio of cryptocurrencies have changed abruptly after a moment of mental clarity. Pretty much following my post on analyzing cryptocurrencies, I came to dislike all the altcoins. I am not trading these and I just need the king to hodl. And that’s BTC!

BTC does not have a known founder and the software is pretty much not subject to any drastic changes. There are adresses believed to be belonging to Satoshi Nakamoto but he has never moved his Bitcoin unlike say Vitalik Buterin did with Ethereum.

Also BTC has a limited supply. It is a finite resource. I personally don’t think any of the other coins present an alternative. Maybe Monero with its encrypted transactions could find uses but Bitcoin is king. And there is no place for another.

So I converted anything that I had into BTC, and will not buy anything else from now on.
