Trusting In Plans

Foolish, reckless, and unavoidable

Author’s Note: I wrote 90% of this before the truce talks, but haven’t changed anything.

MAGA as a movement is incredibly diverse. There are representatives from every walk of life in America, including undesirables and non-americans. As well, there are examples from the entire socioeconomic stack in numbers enough to be noteworthy to both historians and commentators alike. I remember reading somewhere that Trump has a hardcore 33% that comprises his ultra loyal base. That may be accurate or not, but it definitely feels logical.

It has been a rough few weeks for Trump supporters who are not single issue voters, boomers, or morons¹. The decision to bomb Persia is, from my perspective, a mistake that the Trump regime will probably regret². Additionally, not going after illegal labor with a holistic and totalizing approach is also a mistake, again in my opinion.

America in general is decidedly unfair to Trump. Of course, the TDS sufferers, the terminally female, and the unsalvageable liberals all hate him, and will never give anything he says or does an objective treatment. But that's the way it's been since the Golden Liberator descended the escalator. Distinct from those groups, there is a substantial portion of the ostensibly conservative that are just as one-sided in their perspective of the man and his works, but because these kinds continually mix their signals, they do even more unfair damage, both by ceaselessly commentating as well as chipping away at the more stalwart and reasonable supporters, primarily because they cannot be as easily dismissed as moronic progressives and their pet minorities.

One thing that I deeply appreciate about Donald Trump, the complex of man and mythos, is his stubborn refusal to allow criticism to slow him down or change course. Nerds who consider themselves well read might tut-tut at this idea, but that's just decades of social programming that have convinced the self-declared smart that listening to criticism from wherever it arises is somehow reasonable, mature, and/or wise.

Trump is not perfect; no man is. Everybody makes mistakes, and the more powerful you are, the more far-reaching and devastating the consequences of mistakes can be. In a perfect world, a great leader would be able to bring some humility to the public square and admit when they have erred. But as you well know, we exist in a far from perfect world. Though this goes against my intuitive grain, I have been thoroughly convinced by frens and men I respect that there is no utility to admitting fault in public, whether it comes from detractors or supporters.

In a better world, there would be space for critique "from the Right." But this is not the better world. Even taking into account the Cinderella story of 2016, as well as the long term strategic victory of the 2020 election being stolen, and the amazing triumph of the 2024 election, the fact is that we are living in one of the worst timelines possible. The three Trump elections are merely silver lining tracery around this horrible timeline, a meta-era that stretches rather far back in Occidental History.

The ugly and the wicked have been scoring strings of victories my entire lifetime, and these rotten wins rest atop many thousands more from previous generations. We hear it so often that we do not give it the consideration it demands: America is in a bad place right now by every measure that matters. I remain convinced that no amount of wise decisions and victories for the Trump regime will change the terminal trajectory the country is on. It is not a question of If, but When we collapse, followed quickly by the What Breaks First, then Who Is Better Off.

This sounds like blackpilling, and to the ignorant, the naïve, or the blindly optimistic, it most definitely is. But realism never leaves a good taste in anyone's mouth, particularly those who deploy it because they have to and not because they want to. These statements are not blackpills, they are tinted clearpills. You don't get to let progressives determine the structure of social reality for a century then have everything corrected by a raft of executive orders and a slight trajectory change of the terminal arc.

Broken things don't fix themselves, and they don't become fixed by happenstance or chance. They have to be fixed by something outside of their own structure. The list of things that are broken in our country stretches back hundreds of years before it was founded. This is a bitter pill for patriots and nationalists to swallow, and I don't really fault them for rejecting it. But, like an unfixable marriage, no amount of money, happiness, or time will correct the underlying issues.

I stand by all of this, and I declare with a full throat and no misgivings:

I trust the plan. I believe in Donald Trump. I believe in MAGA.

I can see how that might not make sense, how that might encourage any critics or detractors to write me off as foolish or blind. But the reality is that if you know an outcome is inevitable, you have to plan for how you make entry to the inevitability, and how you are positioned for what comes after.

This is why I still believe, and I won't stop.

If Hillary had won in 2016, or if Trump's victory had been allowed to occur in 2020, or if Harris had won in 2024, the differences would be that certain pernicious effects would be heightened, and certain interminable declines would be extended. A 2016 Hillary victory would almost certainly have brought a shooting war with Russia as well as other conflicts in various places. A 2020 ascension of trump would almost certainly have solidified the evil and incompetent covid paradigm with a monumentally smaller right-wing and conservative confederacy in the elite layers of society.

Whenever anyone who I engage with bemoans the talmudic influence of far too many of Trump's advisors, whenever anyone points out the relative paucity of permanent policy changes, whenever it is mentioned that deportations and removals are nowhere near the bare minimum needed to save our country, my first response is, and will continue to be: compare the moment to what it would be like underneath the jamaican drunkard in a pant suit. For the purposes of defending Trump in regards to the politics of the moment, that is the only measure that matters.

But the politics of the moment are almost irrelevant. Sure, there are little things that could be helpful, just as there are plenty of potential mistakes to be made that can make things worse. But the reality is that America has already died, and it's not coming back to life.

The situation we are in is somewhat like the Titanic before it sinks, but imagine it has 200 million passengers, has already struck the iceberg, the passengers refuse to admit that icebergs can exist, the crew has turned the lifeboats into special accommodations for their most loyal supporters among the passengers, and every other ship on the ocean is tethered to the Titanic by basically unbreakable chains.

THAT'S the situation we are in. Actually, it's far worse because this is just a metaphor. Metaphor cuts out all the nuance of pain, the depth of suffering, and the interminable tedium of a slow collapse. Indeed, every single Nothing Ever Happens bro you know is a mental casualty of the interminable tedium. Imagine a court fines you millions of dollars but extracts the money in micro payments at a fixed interval but no fixed amount. It wouldn't take long for you to just believe bank accounts always dwindle, that's just something they do, nothing ever really bankrupts.

But despite everything you may read, despite the spirituo-mental calluses you and I have formed from living in a teetering-on-collapse system for our whole lives³, and most definitely disregarding the constant & continuous "NOW NOW NOW YOU YOU YOU ME ME ME THING THING THING" messaging of selfie social media, we are in a terminal trajectory. Bang, whisper, conflagration, implosion, dissolution, balkanization, fractionation; the list is not only long, but near infinitely interchangeable.

There is really no point taking anyone seriously if they roll their eyes at this assertion, because the historical record is painfully clear: empires never last; empires almost always implode; declining empires all share the same basic characteristics and dynamics which only change slightly based on race, culture, climate, and geography; the evidence that we are an empire in decline has been stacking up for at least 3 decades. This is why it's a question of When rather than If.

If you are able to understand this then you have to accept the general elements, though of course there is plenty of niggling about the details and almost infinite path options for how we get from Here to There She Lies. This is why the politics of the moment are admittedly fascinating by one measure… because this it! This is the Happening! You are living through the moments that future scholars, thinkers, and maybe even normal humans will ponder, imagine, fantasize, debate over, fear, wonder at, and, if they blindly ascend to the heights our ancestors did, bequeath upon their progeny. You're a star baby! ANY ONE OF YOU MIGHT BE A POMPEII TCHOTCHKE! You have just as good a chance as any of us for being the immortal representative of a whole mess of malingering moronic midwits masticated into mush by media and meaningless hedonic misadventure!

But we should let go of both the politics of the moment as well as the crushing inevitability of sociocultural destiny and look to the intermediate term: What is most likely to happen on the decades-based time scale, and what is most valuable to possess across the range of those possibilities?

For straights, for Whites, for men, for active & willing parents, for good & honest people, for property owners & tax payers, the Trump Ascendency is a net positive with almost no exception, and compared to a Blob Status Quo, which I must remind everyone was the default with no expectation to change before the Golden Escalator Descent, it is infinitely and incomparably better by every measure.

The real downside is that the Trump Regime might be so effective that it creates such a respite from inevitable collapse that we once again fall for the hilariously lunatic idea that our government cannot collapse and our nation can never fall and boomers never die out⁴. But they would have to win on a level that we would genuinely get tired of winning, wouldn't understand what winning was anymore because it is just what happens everyday, all the time. And that's not going to happen.

But what might happen is we not only expel millions of valueless free loading migrants, we also alter cultural expectations to a point that negro violence⁵ and female dysgenic tendency⁶ are no longer celebrated, or promulgated by policy⁷. It is important to remember that these things are causally linked: giving women the vote led to giving women primacy of perspective led to giving criminal culture a free pass led to giving foreign invaders preferential treatment. Unbroken causal links can convey energy in both directions, which is pretty obvious from an objective perspective, but from our shared subjective perspective it seems unlikely or impossible because we've only ever seen Cthulhu swim leftward.

There are many categories where we could see unprecedented motion towards a verisimilitude of the greatness enjoyed by our dearly departed ancestors. I say verisimilitude because as the previous paragraphs hopefully demonstrate, there are no breaks on this train and the cliff is not going to turn into a gentle slope⁸. And even if it did, the cauldron of boiling lava below isn't going anywhere. But these little unexpected reversals of decline serve one very important purpose: creating pathways of elevation for the good & the worthy via undercutting the pile of unearned spoils held by the weak & the worthless. That is the kind of change in circumstance that makes possible whole categories of recovery, rebuilding, and restoration that are just not possible after a long enough period of Brezhnevian Malaise. Where before it was just mammies, sodomites, and shrews looting the capital to buy cheap shit from China, we could see "re-allocation" of "centralized wealth" to "regional interests"⁹.

These potentially positive changes, among possibly many more, should be recognized and celebrated, but within the context of what they are, and not be used to fuel delusions of “saving the republic.” The republic was murdered in 1947, and it was mortally wounded long before that. The positive developments of Trump 2.0 are best understood as fundamental changes in the types of elites in power in various regions and at different levels in the social hierarchy. Where before we had a milling mass of hedonists and spiritual bureaucrats with a precious few maverick and insane outsider elites, now there are more than a few wildcat oilmen, entrepreneurial soldiers, and aspiring warlords of the spirit populating the ranks. This is great news, as these types are way more useful than spiteful box checkers when we reach the point of meta-systemic collapse.

But there is another, larger, and more critical hurdle we have yet to overcome, and it is the core motivation for me to force myself to trust the plan regardless of what I think, feel, or hear.

There is only one currency that matters in politics: loyalty. Loyalty is the bedrock of every successful political formulation, construction, and alignment. There are other things that are important (necessary), but loyalty is the only precondition that is sufficient. Loyalty to an ideology is what allows harebrained frameworks like Bolshevism to dominate a contest wherein it is less populated in addition to being based on lies and retardation. That template, zealous loyalty to a set of ideas, is the only type we really see these days, but it is very much the lesser power when compared to the type of loyalty upon the Occident was formed and expanded: loyalty to a Man.

When we look closely at that type of loyalty, we see that it is an amalgamation of the concept of the leader as representation of the united clans (Nation), the concept of the leader as representation of the united elite (State, meaning government), and the bedrock concept of the leader as chosen by God (Mandate). You can find plenty of examples of the individual concepts being the substrate on which current loyalty confederations are formed and operate, but the blending of all three is functionally extinct¹⁰. If our people, our kinds, our culture are to survive the coming collapse, we will be required to abandon our predilection for consensus seeking endlessly, our habit of declining to believe continually, and our unwillingness to follow & obey blindly.

There is no way around this.

For too long, we’ve wallowed in luxury and safety unearned, so long that we have forgotten that equivalent exchange is requisite, not optional. We complain about the disloyalty of our leaders, but what should we expect when our loyalty is so short-lived? The thralls of liberal democracy switch loyalties in weeks, days, or even hours. A harrowing picture or video clip can send millions charging across the aisle. A man can take a bullet for us, and in a week’s time we are already skeptical of whether or not he is worthy of our “brand loyalty.” To my mind, this is one of the greatest evils of Our American System, as it currently stand: totalizing commodification. Everything has a price tag, everyone is a free agent, all concepts are negotiable. We filter everything as if it is a product to be purchased or a brand to indulge. No wonder we have shitty leaders.

Maybe you can’t see Trump as deserving of your loyalty. Maybe you could make lists upon lists of why he is an imperfect man or leader. Unfortunately for you, and all of us really, that just doesn’t matter. One hears quite often the phrase “this isn’t the hill to die on.” I have heard and used it my entire life. But a couple weeks ago I realized something:

The hill to die on is the hill you are on.

If it isn’t worth dying on, why was it occupied in the first place? If you aren’t willing to hold something, why grab onto it in the first place? You¹¹ can make the argument that you are on the hill for convenience, which is a nice way of saying opportunistic greed, but when we filter out the niceness & proprieties, you’re just admitting that you’re always ready to be bought, always open to being convinced otherwise if the price is right. You are a consumer. Which is fine, it’s totally fine to be along for the ride.

But it also means you have nothing to say. You can just sit back and hail Caesar, or hail Equality, or hail Hitler, and wait for your negotiated scraps. We are drowning in a human stew of consumers that cavort as agents. If you’ve ever wondered why progressives win, even when they lose, this is why. Because loyalty is extinct, they know that they can just circle back tomorrow and relitigate the issue, and they will do this as many times as necessary to get you off that hilltop and in retreat.

I am not going to say which Dear Leader you should blindly support, that’s a decision for each man to make himself. But I will say that not choosing is a choice. “Every knee shall bow” is not just a prediction and promise… it is an axiom.

1. I did say “full stack.”

2. Post Script: maybe I was wrong… at any rate, I will never be happy with American elites dancing to the tooted tunes emanating from tentacular Tel Aviv.

3. “Every American child of the 80s has lived under the threat of impending doom unabated. We were born into impending nuclear catastrophe, raised in impending economic catastrophe, and came of age in impending cultural catastrophe. We live in the inverse of the “boy who cried wolf” paradigm, which is to say that we have been told for so long that the wolves are actually sheep, we have lost our natural fear of predators. So we think nuclear holocaust is an appropriate setting for an action film, not a potential reality. We have been told the economy cannot last the way it is for so long that we cannot envision any world but one of trillions of dollars of debt. And we take for granted that urban areas are places of high crime and extreme poverty as a matter of course, as if cities were always places filled with murderers, rapists, thieves, and squalor.” -TOM 2023

7. That feels so wildly optimistic to type, but think of the change in baseline expectations from Oct 2024 to Apr 2025

8. Also, what a sexy tongue twister… ver-si-mil-i-tude… quite the scandalously sibilant susurrus.

9. Looting the capital, but productively, and with more testosterone & tobacco.

10. A good friend has an essay addressing why this is the case, and I will share it the moment I am cleared to do so.
