Follow me on Twitter: @FromKulak One need not spend long in radical or dissident Right discourse to encounter talk of Psy-ops and demoralization campaigns. Some of this traces back to Yuri Besmenov's work on subversion, some to speculation about "Operation Mockingbird" type media manipulation schemes, and some to simply obvious symbolic work being done for seeming for no reason except to horrify, offend, "blackpill", and create a sense of helplessness amongst regime enemies.
Just look at Ron DeSantis. He pushed back against the Woke and won reelection in a landslide.
Instead of mere Defend the Blue, DeSantis has endorsed private citizens shooting looters and running over thugs who would block highways. He punished Disney for pushing perversion, purged the porn from the public schools and put Chris Rufo on the board of a public university.
Donald Trump cucked way more times than advertised. He is not our only hope.
Hi Kulak, where or how do you draw the line between demoralization and truth? For example, if you told Trump supporters in 2017: "Hey guys, by 2023 Trump will have re-election stolen from him with permanently instituted vote-by-mail fraud, he will have accomplished nothing meaningful, over a thousand of his most dedicated followers will be in prison, and Trump will be facing over 90 criminal charges that could easily put him away for life" everyone would have looked at you as an insane demoralization agent -- yet all of this is true. How do you separate the two?
Demoralization always sells the false narrative of inevitability.
Nothing is inevitable. You study military or political history and you see insane nigh total victories from positions any reasonable person, and most at the time, would rightly think is impossible.
Men have gone from nobody to emperor in less time than it takes to get a Bachelors degree...
Yet the most common narrative about the past and about the Present is "Inevitability"... This can be forgiven as a common mistake about the past... given every coin flip or role of the dice becomes "Inevitable" once it's happened. A man will bet his life's savings on a coin flip, then lose and replay the moment 10,000 times over in his head, and each time it comes up against him... then conclude from his mental experience of 10,000 times it coming up tails that it was fate, that he had to lose, it could be no other way...
Of course this is false: games of chance are random... and life itself is often less predictable than mere chance..
But when you start projecting that "inevitability" into the future, past the present where even now nothing is set... that's fatal, and all too common.
No one has lost as assuredly as someone who's already concluded they've lost. Men have seen their entire country captured by the enemy, be convicted of treason and sentenced to die in absentia...only to retake it all and become president or king in under a decade (ask Charles De Gaul)
As you add more variables to a competitive game the possibility for truly outrageous upsets and reversals increases! bizzare, unthinkable, farcical and glorious things happen in war and politics all the time. And most of the problems of governance is just trying to keep a lid on the explosions of, what in any game or story, would be considered unbelievable bullshit.
This is why Demoralization is so devastating and so important for the regime, and for the dissident so completely wrong... Life is so random and corrosive to common sense, you can often just outlast your enemies.
I would say the line is drawn at your reaction. Demoralization or galvanization is your choice in the face of the truth. The government is abusing the politicized court system to punish political enemies in an attempt to prevent them from winning elections and to make an example to any Americans who might resist their power. That's truth. They let corporate sponsored street armies of blm and antifa thugs destroy cities with impunity and arrest anyone who defends themselves from the mob. So, what are you gonna do about it? You gonna roll over and give up? Let them abuse and mutilate your children in government indoctrination camps? Lock yourself behind bars every night an pray they don't come to massacre your family like South Africa? Or are you going to fight back?
I guess it depends how one defines "fight back". Personally I think any rebellion against globohomo is going to get brutally crushed. If by "fight back" you mean fight back in the world of ideas, to spread awareness about the nature of globohomo to the small minority of people open to hearing it -- well, that's what Substack is about, right?
If you are trying to hand-wave the "world of ideas" away as the "Ben Shapiro/Charlie Kirk strategy", I disagree with this. Regarding them specifically, I consider both Shapiro and Kirk to be part of the system, serving useful roles as gatekeepers to siphon right wing discontent into meaningless culture war complaints.
No, they're just the ones who push evangelizing conservatism to an audience who aren't interested, but really just wind up preaching to the choir in reality. Gathering in echo chambers and reaffirming the ideas everyone already holds isn't going to change anything.
In other words he is precisely the kind of demoralization agent Kulak was talking about in the OP. I recommend the rest of the internet right start treating him as such.
Tribe up. Build support networks in your own neighborhoods. Build parallel economies. Disengage yourself from the System as much as possible. Barter and trade with local producers if you live in an area that's possible. Form community defense groups if your neighborhood is in danger from liberal mobs. Build coalitions and start consolidating political power at the local level. Sheriff is an elected position with the most power at a county level. How many votes would it take to put one of your own in that office? Tax collector, school board, city council; seize power and then hold on. Move on to the State level eventually. Simplify your lifestyle, cut your spending and pay down debts. Homeschool your kids. Start stocking up for supply chain disruptions. None of these are new or original ideas. There's a thousand articles about how to do this stuff.
I advocate physical resistance to tyranny...in Minecraft. But you have to lay the groundwork before you get to that point...in Minecraft of course. The sad truth is that the left is way better at this kind of coalition building than the right. We're playing catchup on 70 years of foundation work.
There are still states with solid Republican majorities in the state houses. This means it is possible to apply Rule 3 (Teach more history), Rule 5 (Teach more practical arts), and Rule 6 (Break up the blue zones) given our current political alignment. It's simply a matter of getting more state level Republican leaders to read my substack.
For the blue states, the task is to create a viable purple or teal opposition so the Democrats can no longer run whackdoodle candidates. (Rule 8) When left wing parties lack viable opposition an ugly phase change happens.
And for those with an entrepreneurial bent, there is a gold rush before us. Corporate Amerika has written off at least a third of their customers. Replicate their business plans but without the wokeness (Rule 2). And if you go into retail, omit the estrogenic chemicals while you are at it (Rule 4).
I used to believe we could do ample course corrections.
Knowing what i know now and having seen events take place you just mentioned, my view has shifted. More so with the mass mind control evidenced by the world's population since COVID1984 set upon us in 2020.
My battlefield assessment is that circumstances are far past anything we can relate to in recorded history. The level of control that has been achieved is utterly astounding. Our Luciferian overlords own everything: courts, banks, legislatures, schools, hospitals, real estate, infrastructure, supply chains, police & military. There are no institutions in society that have not been either entirely or at least partially captured. Every imaginable vector of propaganda and control is in play, often multiple vectors simultaneously.
The tipping point for my final assessment is noting that the majority of people will not wake up. The mind control programming is too strong. There will be no mass awakening, it is a rare individual that is willing to question and then break from the narrative.
As far as i can tell, it's a Biblically sound assessment as well. As a book of prophecy, the Bible tells us that it's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better. My shift could be perceived as that of a demoralized attitude, but that's not entirely true. I have shifted my "hope" from correcting an impossibly corrupt beast system to creating an alternative system that might hopefully survive the technocratic onslaught. I am under no delusions that this path isn't fraught with peril or sacrifice or hardship. I fully expect the Deep State to continually herd the masses into their C40 "smart cities" and burn us out of rural areas. Drones, robot killer dogs, FEMA camps, the whole nine yards. So yeah, dystopia. I don't expect mankind to get another win before His return.
But i choose to "go down fighting" by building rather than destroying. This is a key component of my Biblical perspective as well. There are copious examples in the Biblical texts exhorting us to create rather than destroy, as we are created in God's image. Right or wrong, i will spend my remaining time working towards something that i believe would honor God. So, there is that.
This is what makes me question the potential for a French Revolution style hostage situation. The monetary system is *so* broken at this point, and the enemies of the Constitution are *so* prevalent everywhere, that I have no idea how a group of people successfully taking Congress and holding it would even manage to accomplish anything. Perhaps I simply have insufficient imagination.
TPTB own everything. Even if we could "remove them" somehow, some way there is a massive vacuum of power that remains. What would fill that? Most likely, you'd see more of the same sycophants rushing in, grifters pretending to be freedom fighters and various bands of people who's hearts are rightly intended but will squabble too much to hold power. This is the biggest asset of tyranny, they are uniformly materialistic and greedy - honor among thieves as it were. Whereas bands of rebels are all going to have very different ideas about how to proceed. There would be much fighting and chaos. How will the [potentially] reacquired land and assets be distributed? There's no doubt our pols have amassed a great deal of wealth by immoral means, but who gets the assets? Now, you're looking at a "communist" style of redistribution no matter which merry band of do-gooders would gain possession of such material. People gonna fight. And those without conscience will be more apt to gang up on those with such and gain the advantage.
Find your tribe. Get out of the cities. Increase self-sufficiency at every opportunity. Pray.
Yeah. Pretty much all of that. We have divorced "wealth" from reality by so much (using the value of an ounce of gold in $USD from when we left the gold standard behind to now gives roughly a factor of 100) that I don't think there's any realistic way to put Pandora's daemons back in the box.
There's a reset coming. I see three possibilities, we've passed the point of no return. Unfortunately my money's on the really bad one. Slim chance this ship could be righted, but I guess it's not impossible. Or the type of reset that will occur when Jesus returns.
There is great amounts of dystopia, many people will have to be written off
Considering what will happen once the govt's demonstrate their impotent failure to increase or maintain standards of living
All the while, 3D printing will allow a raft of configurable customizable objects (including weapons)
LLMs will be able to help you design your choice of weapon, clothing, furniture, etc
Your health can become your own, smart scales, heart monitors, diet trackers, will easily be able to sync and demonstrate what works for any particular individual
We have this rare opportunity to be in a battle against true tyranny, and in a fight for the future of liberty and righteousness, and yet I see so many backing down and succumbing to the blatant psy-ops and demoralization programs - sunshine soldiers and summer patriots. It is truly only the 1-3% that determine the outcome and arc of history.
Would you agree, then, that there is an existential tension between conservatives and the right? The conservatives are held hostage by the fact that to win they must destroy so much of what they hold dear, and this imposes on them a strategy that can, at best, only delay defeat, not achieve victory. The progressive left cares not a whit for preserving anything at all. Indeed, the more that burns, the better. So they can fight far more effectively.
The right, not being conservative by essence, is uncrippled by the shackles that bind the conservatives. It would seem to me, then, that if the progressives were to lose, it will not be at the hands of the conservatives, but at those of the right. It goes without saying that such a defeat, if it happens, will be far worse than defeat at the hands of the conservatives. The right are just as willing to burn everything down as the progressive left. They are not intimidated by human shields.
Let's not be counting our chickens before they hatch.
I have seen many more examples of people making plans for what to do after we retake the USA, than examples of people making plans to actually retake the USA.
> A mere handful of Jan 6th arrestees are sentenced to decades in prison, and bots and feds pose as black-pilled right-wingers crying “Resistance is pointless, they’ll destroy your life whilst BLM loots America”, or Trump will be arrested and you’ll get similar commentary.
The even more insidious part is getting the right to declare Jan 6th a false flag, and thus implicitly disavow it.
This was the best thing I’ve read in a really good while. Well done!!! As far as remaking a government, with a few tweaks couldn’t we just rely on the original form?
Just look at Ron DeSantis. He pushed back against the Woke and won reelection in a landslide.
Instead of mere Defend the Blue, DeSantis has endorsed private citizens shooting looters and running over thugs who would block highways. He punished Disney for pushing perversion, purged the porn from the public schools and put Chris Rufo on the board of a public university.
Donald Trump cucked way more times than advertised. He is not our only hope.

NF is by his own admission a "philosophical pessimist" (https://neofeudalreview.substack.com/p/the-neoliberal-feudalism-framework/comment/42398327). He isn't interested in proposing actual solutions, mere criticizing anyone who is.
In other words he is precisely the kind of demoralization agent Kulak was talking about in the OP. I recommend the rest of the internet right start treating him as such.
What are you gonna do about it? Specifically. How will you fight?
Please tell me this brilliant course of action that will free us from the Great Reset?

Always be creating dilemmas for the enemy. Being demoralized does not help with this.
Shifting your battle plan is not indicative of demoralization, it is how battle is done. No plan survives first contact. amirite?
