The ongoing dynamics between the technocrats and technolords is an interesting one. Once the third estate revolted in the indistrial revolution and toppled both the king and the pope, the masses (lead by the vanguard/best and brightest) turned on the bourgeois, and as such birthed the rule of the managerial class. Cause someone gotta run the place until we reach the utopian end of history. They picked up the pieces and churned it along a bit, but in the end, they are just managers and have spent the manifestations of the great men’s imagination and execution; they lack the creativity and will to make anything new happen, which is why it still feels like we are in 1980, in so many ways. While useful in the project of consolidation to the technolords the technocrat/managerial class as a dominate power is coming to an end. The future, as we are seeing played out in real time, is the true age of the technolord running things, or at least sharing power with the Praetorian Guard that is the “Intelligence Community.” Schumer said it best, they have seven ways from Sunday to take you out. And the billiinaires just showed the world they can take out Biden by issuing marching orders to the Technocrats, note Clintons immediate support for Kamala.

Welcome to late stage Democracy and Collapse of the Enlightenment.

Buy land, buy physical books, pray, and pass the popcorn.

There’s also the irony — while farther-left “woke” stuff even has “progressive” types concerned at times, it’s simply hilarious that they’re obsessed with race and with some extra hype with misogyny, etc,. when it was Harris chosen specifically to check multiple boxes and appeal to liberal, Dem voters, not to others.

Meanwhile: “Biden has been a shell for at least a few years.” That’s a relative saving grace of sorts, namely that a vacuous Ms. Harris has a set-off office and people willing to work for and with her (and for themselves and others) if she chooses to use it, and also makes me wonder what role a Pelosi might play, too. Some with the Biden NEC (Northeast Corridor) camp will stay, others go, but some like Pelosi can help a Harris deal with Congress better, at least, and maybe with a few other realities about DC and beyond. Pelosi can also help with Newsom’s coming sometime soon, too, of course.

This is most certainly a coup, which is why he hasnt been seen or resigned as president. The process will play itself out in steps, designed to manage out resistence from Biden’s camp, who have a lot to lose. Deals have to be made to go along you know.

Kamala will get the nomination, Biden will resign, and she will run as an incumbent. The hope being a few percent here and a few percent there will plug thier nose and wont allow a graber of lady things to unseat the first women of color President.

This is actually the best narrative the Dems can put forth, and it may very well work. I give it two chances in three.

But as has been noted by people far smarter than I, democracy is impossible. The sad part is many in CA and the left have made Democracy thier religion, which is contradictory to democracy’s justification. That humans are rational and given the opportunity, they will make rational decisions. The majority of voters of CA and the left are in a logic loop they cant get out of.

At the end of the day, this entire month has shown it does not matter who is President. Biden has been a shell for at least a few years. If one were honest, Trump was barely in charge; either through obstruction or by who he trusted, Trump got done what he was allowed to get done. Realistically it is naive to think a multi trillion dollar budgeted a year monstrosity turns on a dime or sways with the wind of public opinion. Those dollars are going into someones pocket, and it aint the poor or the middle classes’.

Democracy as most people believe it is impossible, and regardless of your political orientation, it is just rule by elites, the oligarchy, who circulate each other out. There are warring castles within parties and between them.

What is comical is the extent our local overlords pretend they are so democratic, so welcoming, on the right side of history, and truely believe if you just give power to the people, the issues of our time would resolve themselves. When in reality, they are ruled by elites much more rigidly than the alternative party, precisely because the alternate party exists to be the opposition.

Buy land, buy physical books, pray, and pass the popcorn.

Biden didn’t send those tweets dropping out of the race and endorsing Kamala Harris, and as of 7:30 am PDT Monday morning there is no proof he even has the cognitive power to know about them, or is even still alive. He hasn’t been seen at all since last week.

This would be elder abuse in any other context involving important life decisions. In this context it’s a coup. Yet our local political elite cheers, and our local media averts its eyes.

Who is running the country right now?
