As the old joke goes, a policeman went undercover to buy some drugs and bust the perps. He thought he was doing okay until one of the miscreants approached him and asked “Excuse me, do you know the time, officer?” and he instinctively looked to his watch.
In politics, as in everything else, timing matters. Most people do not know what time it is, and are still acting as if they were in a former era, although not the timeless era of new civilization when everything worked better.
They are still talking about what government can do for you, instead of realizing that people have moved on from individualistic government to tribal government.
With the time it is now, the question is how government will protect the tribe; people no longer give a shit about the poor, the minorities, what Baby Jesus would think, etc. People want a shell that protects their tribe.
That means in turn that we are looking at all government programs, almost all of which are designed to benefit the unequal and disadvantaged, as unnecessary. In the time it is now, we are looking toward governments that aggressively cut 90% of what modern governments do.
We do not want the welfare state. We do not want public transportation. We do not want social security or medicare. We do not want development programs, eminent domain, the Fed, Fannie Mae, environmental incentives, tax breaks for women-owned businesses, or any of it.
In the time it is now, we want a government that provides roads, military, courts, police, and firefighters, and that is about it. The poor need to sink or swim; mostly they will sink because they have lower IQs and lower mental health from genetic causes, but that is okay too.
We no longer care about trying to save every individual from themselves and the related Darwinistic consequences.
We care about having thriving mono-ethnic nations where we do not have to live through the horror of diversity again, and we want non-ideological nations — this is why we no longer care about the poor etc — so we do not have to re-fight WW1 over and over again either.
The time is high to cut government programs and rules to the absolute bone, not add new ones to benefit a specific group of people at the expense of everyone else, which is what government normally does. The time is nigh to do what is contrary to the nature of democracy.
A grim fact has emerged, namely that ordinary people do not care about government. They expect it to work like the utilities, you know, power and water and internet. They want it to simply function so that they do not have to think about it.
The problem with government is not government, but jobs. When you hire people into government, they do what everyone does at jobs: blame someone else for the failures, invent over-hyped successes created by fighting fake crises, and then hire more people so you get into middle management.
Government is a career, and this dooms its population, but we can roll that back, and the time is now. Ignore the crying of special interests, foreign powers, and industry lobbyists. This time calls for slashing expenses and removing obligations and nothing more.
