I watched a Substack video in which an actor playing the part of Hitler was used to play the part of Kamala Harris. The point was made that the man with the mustache and Kamala Harris have a lot in common. Both are socialists and authoritarians. My latest Substack article makes the same point in "Government is the Problem" at https://2026.substack.com/p/government-is-the-problem

Dear PB,

This in today's teaser you sent out for Part 2 of your discussion with Ralph Schoellhammer could've bypassed my radar until you got to this re-cap you and others have been lulling me to hypnotic trance with in our ever more silo'd Land of Identity Politics...:

"....This raises the broader question: In more liberal societies, must the state grow stronger to maintain order and stability? Did the U.S. electorate vote overwhelmingly for Trump because of concerns about an abysmal education system, indoctrination in schools, the transgender agenda, and censorship aimed at protecting children and because we are in the middle of a crisis of meaning?..."

Specifically how the transgender issue became an issue after decades since the surgical transition became normalized and only recently became a routinized insurance "elective" exempted from Wage Slave Hourly Wage Stag-Nation earnings for a non-salaried nation always clamoring for Privatization in bizness, anti-social Public Policy and most ferociously over milking every privelege our unspoken of Class Issues in this country affords those in the tiny percentage who've "managed" to slip under the limbo bar of corporate-captured top tier INFLATIONARY earnings rising to meet da RENT or even once advantageous mortgage and re-fi offerings.....

When did our drug and stimulant consumed consumer life blur to where we even overlook getting and keeping 'gub'ment outta da bedroom!' in every parquet quadrant of what Shoshana Zuboff titled her most recent paradigm-shifting book "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power"? (2019 paperback)

All amid clearly documented if rarely lingered on during Election Season that lurking biggest taboo issue: Over half a century of methodical Wealth Concentration and normalization of homelessness and down-sizing of ballooning costs (monetary and anti-social) while trimming budgets for workers and employers and now the body politic itself victimized by budgetary normalization of out-of-reach and no coverage for mental\emotional health care and HOUSING.....If those aren't human necessities, what is?

Possibly, though some clouds low on the horizon to the east. Some flies in the "ointment' that is touted as a "salvation" from the "Woke Religion" -- notably that many of the anti-woke are just as narrow-minded, dogmatic, and scientifically illiterate as those they rail against:

Apropos of which, and for one example of many, Andrew Doyle once argued, quite reasonably, that "one of the most chilling aspects of the woke ideology" was "the sheer certainty of its adherents" -- outright zealotry:

Yet he blocked and banned me for challenging his rather clueless misunderstandings about what it takes to qualify as male and female. The smoking guns -- in living colour:

But, somewhat en passant though relevant to that "new dawn", an amusing bit of the history of science, courtesy of Lee Smolin's "The Trouble with Physics" -- highly recommended:

Smolin: "In 1900, William Thompson (Lord Kelvin), an influential British physicist, famously proclaimed that physics was over, except for two small clouds on the horizon. These 'clouds' turned out to be the clues that led to quantum theory and relativity theory." [pg. 13]
