Monday was a rough one for Con Inc. grifters.
First, double agent Jack Posobiec outed himself as a conman who hoodwinks normieCons into funding a pro-Antifa charity.
But conservative indie artists in need of a signal boost? Tough luck, bucko.
Let me lay my cards on the table here. Writing against the Death Cult has brought me the most attention. And that’s awesome. They’re a Satanic false religion that’s leading millions to their doom and many normal folks with them.
But one thing you can say for the cultists is they believe in what they’re doing – even if it’s horrifying. They’re possessed of diabolical conviction that their beliefs and actions are right.
That’s why, for my money, the grifters installed by establishment Conservative gatekeepers are even worse.
You hear it all the time in non-woke circles online:
“This account posts so much truth! Why isn’t it bigger?”
“[Con Inc. Brand X] is lamenting the lack of Conservative creators. Why doesn’t he ever have any of the struggling newpub authors I love on his show?”
“All of a sudden I’m seeing this guy’s tweets all over my feed. He came out of nowhere with 40K followers, but he gets zero engagement. What’s going on?”
The answer to all of those questions is grifters.
Even though many cultural commenters – including me – have been saying this for years, some people still don’t get it. So here it is again …
National-level American politics is fake. It is a donkey show and has been for decades.
Many people’s knee-jerk reaction is to take statements of US politics’ utter fakeness as hyperbole. But I mean it in the most – and I hate using this word – literal sense possible.
So to review, whether you vote for the Red Team or the Blue Team does not matter. Not just because your vote doesn’t count, which it doesn’t. Because there is no Red Team.
Republicans want to be in the minority. Their leadership’s whole ethos is founded on never having power. So they pull out all the stops to make sure they don’t get power. And if they wind up with power by accident, they take pains to do nothing with it.
In case you still need convincing, the GOP just threw a gimme midterm, resulting in the election of a brain-damaged stroke victim to the most august deliberative body in the world.
The GOP doesn’t represent you. They do not want to represent you. They are willing accomplices of the Death Cult.
Now, every once in a while, a young conservative takes a red pill and breaks the conditioning.
99 times out of 100, the regime is content to let their techpriests’ censorship algorithms keep such troublemakers under wraps.
But sometimes, one of the GOPe plantation escapees has unusual talent and cunning. He manages to build a real audience, or he gets red pilled after amassing one through the Pop Cult.
When that happens, the regime’s junior partners correctly see a threat to their cushy position. So they deploy the grifters to suck the wind out of the competition’s sails.
“Where do the grifters come from” you ask?
The establishment has a system in place to produce these people – like a shill factory.
If you want an example, the original – and still the best – is Ben Shapiro. Here’s how a Hollywood producer manufactured Shapiro’s career like a skinsuit IP.
How it works is Con Inc. keeps a professional class of gatekeepers on staff. These guys are always on the lookout for narcissistic sociopaths who lust for fame and money but are too weird or ugly for Hollywood. They look for frustrated actors, minor political columnists in a rut, and often, their or their close associates’ relatives.
Then they assign him a PR team to give him a full personal and brand makeover. They have professional writers manage his Twitter account. And they have him make the rounds on the GrifterCon podcast circle jerk.
All of that money and effort to keep you inside the Overton window and distract you from ever looking out.
Jack Posobiec is, in the grand scheme of things, a smaller fish in the grift pond.
Don’t misunderstand. His exposure as a fraud was a win. I was happy to take it and move on.
Then later that evening, Ye landed a marlin.
For those who don’t know, Tim Pool has one of the biggest podcasts on the planet. Despite spouting the opinions of a 2008 Democrat, he’s somehow gained great influence among normieCons.
Well, you know how.
Anyway, groyper leader Nick Fuentes had been lobbying Pool to have him on the TimCast for years. It started back before Nick got banned from Twitter, to give you some idea. Pool would tweet requests for guest suggestions, and Nick would always be one of the most-requested. But Tim ignored those responses.
You may have heard that Ye is running for president. A few weeks ago, Ye’s campaign manager Milo Yiannopoulos went on the TimCast. That appearance looks to have paved the way for last night, when Milo returned to the show with Ye, and they brought along the campaign’s new communications director, Nick Fuentes.
Everybody expected fireworks, and they weren’t disappointed. Many were surprised, though, that it wasn’t Nick who flipped the table.
The interview starts at the 22:00 mark.
At 42:50, Ye ends the interview, taking his posse with him.
Along with Tim’s cookies.
He then went down the street to a Japanese restaurant where he dined with Milo and Nick. Then they boarded a private plane and skipped town.
Some people are calling Ye’s abrupt exit a big L for him and his supporters and a big win for Tim Pool.
Those people do not understand Clown World politics. Nor do they understand information warfare or male power dynamics.
Go back and look at the grifter manufacturing process I outlined above. What do you notice?
The whole process is engineered to give the grifter an artificial infusion of social proof.
Tim Pool’s whole brand is “I have the biggest podcast. Anyone who wants access to my massive audience must curry favor with me.”
And he leverages that big brand to keep real dissidents down and normies on the reservation.
“OK,” some might be saying. “But the way to expose Tim Pool as a fraud is by sticking it out for the whole debate.”
Again, that attitude betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of how social proof works.
Continuing to subject himself to Tim Pool’s tone policing and gaslighting in the hope of getting a point in edgewise – which anyone else would have done – would’ve been a mistake.
A mistake Ye already made once with Piers Morgan. He almost pulled it off but ignored his gut and returned to finish the interview. And like Tim Pool, all Morgan did was try to coax Ye into admitting fault.
And Ye was ready for it this time. He even warned Pool three times that he’d leave if the host didn’t keep interrupting.
If you understand male social dynamics, you know full well that a man in Ye’s position can’t fail to make good on a fair warning. At that point, not leaving would have been tacit submission to Pool’s gaslighting and acknowledgement of his superior status.
What Ye accomplished by leaving was establishing his integrity, cementing his authority, and most important of all, detonating Tim Pool’s credibility.
Even Pool’s chat agreed with Ye.
Ye just gave a master class in how to deal with online grifters.
Don’t play into their hyped up image.
Don’t engage with their bad-faith arguments.
Instead, get them to chase after you, then give them the dirt shoulder.
For those of us who aren’t high profile enough to draw overtures from grifterCons, just ignoring them will do.
Don’t cast pearls before swine.
Because they and their GOP paymasters hate you.
