Of Breaking Shotguns and CWs

 Tough day today, I broke an AR style shotgun on disassembly. In my defense, the thing was a piece of crap, and I’m probably lucky I broke it before it blew up in my face, but hey! I’m a military professional. Or pretend to be. I don’t like going around breaking weapons.

Fucking piece of shit.

Looked up Old Remus the internet legend that died a year ago. He didn’t save his posts, so there’s no record of them except a few on the wayback machine. Remus did a conservative newsletter since 2004. He included snips of art and 20th century Americana into his weekly pub. He had a Will Rogers style without the leftism. 






Some excerpts: 

The notion of a Civil War II is improbable but not farfetched. The Democratic Party, their unelected supporters within government and the news media refuse to accept the result of the 2016 election, going so far as to declare themselves "the resistance", as if losing made the election illegitimate and the country is now "occupied". Given the coordinated subversion and sabotage it's safe to say the orderly transfer of power has failed for the first time since the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860.

After their shock in losing what amounted to a rigged election, the Democratic Party lurched toward the Bolshevist model of seizing power by insurrection on a wide front.”

And

NC Scout at American Partisan advises caution about underestimating AntiFa, their armed wing. ..The German Communist Party organized Antifaschistische Aktion in 1932, known now in America as AntiFa. Those old newsreels of street fighting in Berlin and elsewhere are mainly of the National Socialist paramilitary "Brownshirts" versus AntiFa. When you hear of the early concentration camps populated by political prisoners, it's largely AntiFa they're talking about. They trot out this provenance at every opportunity. It's why any opposition is automatically "fascist" and "Nazi". As NC Scout notes, they aren't campus activists of the snowflake persuasion. They're gearing up for a civil war, again.”


Guy knew how to write, and put patterns together. He was a damn genius in a few ways. And almost no one knows who he really was, and almost none of his work survived. I hope it did. I hope its sitting on a hard drive somewhere.

Speaking of a second civil…

I was thinking about that this weekend, with Biden’s weakness on display. So our choice after Biden are Kamala and then Nancy Pelosi? Those are our choices? We get a weak person in there and the Country goes to shit any faster it will be a ripe position to be taken over by a military strong man like Chavez. This has happened before folks, many times. And that individual will be a leftist. For all their sermonizing about right wing dictators, the reality is, that the vast majority of dictators in the 20th century and today were leftists.

And say we do have a civil war. How is the country going to be divided up. A lot of mixing has gone on over the last four years, so you have a lot of islands of Democrats surrounded by rural conservatives. And those rural conservatives have guns and farmland. Some of the Dems have guns, (all of the criminals for instance) but very few are farmers. Unless you’re counting weed, or organic horseshit.

Gonna be hard to survive on weed. Although I went to high school with some dudes that tried it.

Food and raw materials flow into the cities from those areas. Mandates and demands flow out. And some money, I suppose. But wait, a lot of the cities ferry items to the rural areas, particularly manufactured items from the ports.


Yeah, that’s what the North did during the first civil war. Blockaded the ports. And there was a real problem with manufactured items in the South. And All the manufactured goods came from the North, or overseas. But a lot of manufacturing in the U.S. has moved out of blue.


In 2008, Democratic-voting, often urban 


districts encompassed 39% of U.S. land area 


compared with the 61% expanse of Republican 


districts. By the 116th Congress, just ten 


years  later, the Democratic share had fallen 


to 20% of the map.

F'in shitty formatting engine here folks, sorry about that. And:

Relatedly, and equally striking, Democratic districts are rapidly increasing their dominance of the nation’s urban-tilting professional and digital services employment while ceding their historical, more rural shares of manufacturing and agriculture-mining activity. Just since 2008, Democratic districts’ share of professional and digital services employment surged from 63.7% to 71.1%, while their share of the nation’s manufacturing and extractive activities shrunk from 53.8% to 43.6% and 46.1% to 39.5%, respectively. Conversely, Republican districts—failing as a group to gain traction in the new sectors—have reverted to more “traditional” ones. GOP districts’ professional and digital employment fell from 36.3% to 28.9% of the total in just 10 years, for example, while their shares of manufacturing and agriculture-mining increased from 46.2% to 56.4% and 53.9% to 60.5%, respectively.

So, the blues, don’t have manufacturing any more. They have IT nerds, criminals, and a bunch of worthless turds that shuffle paper for a living. Not much to win a war with. Specially if you want to eat.
