The early days of the internet was how these fringe groups came together and started to find things in common. What we now know as the alternative media is the consolidation of two or three decades of slowly growing resistance to the establishment and the centralized power structure. The gay Milo is as much a product of the hyper commodification of reality as he is the progeny of rednecks in Texas back in the day raging about encroaching gun control. As you've observed in refraction there is an ongoing war on identity and central to that war is the myth of who we are. As Mr Robot says, 'Kernel panic'.

The old broad right (white haired Republicans) and the old skool financial elites loved Reagan and deregulation. They had no axe to grind with Reagan and there was no analysis from the younger disaffected in the Southern rogue states or the survivalists in 'the mountains'. The birth of the new consensus on 'big Govt' and invasive Federal Agencies started around the debates about Waco, Ruby Ridge and Timmy the boy McVeigh. Camped around these three events was the germination of the new seeds of the ideas around remaking the pact with the constitution, nationalism. patriotism and resistance. It is from those moments that the ideas we can broadly call the alt-right were born. The alt-right are deep in myth with reg to America and its a myth that Trump has exploited but nevertheless we know that myth is far more powerful than fact. Myth is the amber and quartz that is at the heart of the human condition.

Brussels does the day to day. Commons is a coffee morning.

Trumps win can be traced right back to this moment. Bill Maher laughing at Ruby Ridge where the ATF staked out and shot up a whole family. It started the weird thing of bringing together the libertarians and the militia resistance and the constitutionals. Ronson correctly notes that Weaver wasn't a Neo Nazi at all. Maher happy to spread the at the time cover up/smear about Weaver and the Aryan nation.

Nice piss take.

Yeah but America isn't in Europe. Russia has a massive advantage against NATO. American spending is high but their stuff is wildly expensive and complex (doesn't work properly like the new 5th Gen fighter we bought which is a turkey) and they are spread out across the globe. I agree if it was just Russia v America Russia would go nuke first. However I would question American morale and public support if a war started and their cities started getting hit. Russians are used to all that and well prepared. The Russian psyche is prepared to fight to the last man the American psyche is prepared to fight to the last European. Neither side can win. But with China I think they have gamed a win which is the worry. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/industry/defence/11712648/F-35-fighter-makers-leap-to-its-defence-after-it-loses-dogfight-to-1970s-jet.html

I worked out the Red army would be in Berlin in 3 days. NATO can't hold off Russia if America is busy with China. Under ideal conditions the re-supply is 7 days. NATO is designed to hold on for about a week in ideal scenarios with American airlifts arriving on time. In the long run NATO would possibly win if it held out in the crucial first assaults...Just in the Baltics Russia has 46 battalions fully mechanized to NATO'S 7 etc.. If America wasn't busy and NATO survives the first few days re-supply arriving would tip the balance.....Probably. There is only one rule in war. Never fuck with the bear.

The in theater Navy would be toast but the backlash from America would be worse of course. The force projection of carrier groups is old hat now and alright for taking down banana republics etc...The latest Raytheon Searam anti-ship missile defense has been rolled out the last couple of years by the American Navy and it would be interesting to see how it performs against dozens of simultaneous incoming. America has some kind of deal with Vietnam now with reg to working together in a defensive posture. On the other hand Russia and China have a mutual defence pact signed 5 years ago. America probably couldn't take on Russia and China at the same time. It would cream China in everything bar a stand up land war. American stuff isn't easily replaceable and very expensive. And a lot of it probably doesn't work properly.

American Navy wouldn't last 5 min in the South China sea. China have some of the most advanced anti-ship missiles the Silkworm c803 latest version and the DF-26 (2500 miles range) and dozens of batteries along its coast and on the fake islands. The only issue is whether to actually sink a carrier or not as all hell would break lose if America lost a carrier. Carrier groups are like sitting ducks these days.

I said that 3 pages ago. It's why the elite are only using soft power against him for now.
