The Race To Being Relevant

It’s a “race” to keep making content. Whether I’m writing here on my blog, making YouTube videos, being a guest on the various shows that I’m on, or uploading something to my audio podcast, it seems like it’s an on-going, never ending process.

You put something up and you hope it “sticks.” No likes, no retweets, no shares, no comments? It’s dead in the water for whatever reason. This never stops and it never ends. Social media, blogs, and maybe the whole of the internet itself is designed this way.

All new content is at the top, pushing older content down the list. Look at news articles. Look at videos on YouTube. I can even look at my own blog posts and see it. Twitter, Facebook, it doesn’t matter, it’s all run the same way.

You want to stay in someone’s time line? You have to keep producing. “Tweet or die,” is how I’ve heard it said. You want your blog to get more views and more traffic, you better be posting on a regular basis, and not just daily either. Think more like hourly. Nevermind learning search engine optimization, key words, and other assorted hashtags.

There are people on YouTube that put out well edited videos several times a day. I’m not sure how they are doing that. All I can imagine is that they have multiple people working on multiple things and that they have a “system” of sorts, or a template that they use. If it is only a “one man operation” all I can imagine is that the person doesn’t have a day job, and doesn’t really have a life outside of content creation.

I can’t do that. While I enjoy content creation, there are only so many hours in the day, and I have only so much energy to devote to it. Life itself comes first.

Every day that I get on the internet and create some form of content I learn something new. Whether it’s how to do a “L cut” edit or add in B roll footage, or it’s just the fact that “Hey! While I was cranking out 2 minute videos, I gained a handful of followers.”

My views on this blog have gone up over time since last year. Part of it I like to think, is that I’m putting out “better” content than I have in the past. Or maybe it’s more relatable or relevant. I don’t know for sure on that one, just a guess and it’s me fluffing myself a little bit. I also know that I’m writing more frequently than I did when I first started out.

In the very beginning, I did 4 posts for that entire year. In 2019, I wrote at least two posts per week at a minimum. This year is shaping up to go the same direction. So far it’s been two posts per week.

Why not more? Why not daily? Why not multiple times a day? I don’t have the time or the energy for that level of work and I want my material to be somewhat decent. I guess I could go on and type up 20 words, throw a couple of random pictures in there somewhere and hit send, but would it really be all that good? Probably not. I know when I go to read or look at something, I don’t want to waste my time on shit that isn’t relevant to me.

There are guys that are “Professional Tweeters” on Twitter. They have large followings, like hundreds of thousands of people, or more. I’m sure that some of them have people doing their tweets for them, and I’m sure there are some that do it all by themselves. Can you imagine sitting around all day, loading automation software with tweets so that you are constantly bombarding the time line? I imagine that for some of these people it can be very lucrative, but I guarantee you it’s cutthroat competitive as well.

There are guys who have figured out “the system” when it comes to Twitter and they have literally written books and designed courses on it. One of the things that they recommend is that you use statements that “polarize.” Think of something like:

“Abortion should be made illegal.” Or, “No one should be able to own a firearm.”

You’re going to get a lot of engagement with something like those two statements, whether you tend to agree with your own statement or not.

It’s funny to me watching some of these guys taking the idea of a polarizing statement and going full retard with it.

“If you watch movies you’re a fucking dweeb.”

“People that have LinkedIn profiles are fucking stupid.”

“I only bang 9’s and 10’s.”

I laugh when I see these guys go full stupid doing this. I realize that they are trying to polarize and get engagement and I’m pretty sure they all bought so-and-so’s book on getting engagement and followers on Twitter. But they missed the point.

The point is to say something that is polarizing, not something stupid.

Stupidity as polarization will get you muted at best and blocked at worst, plus you won’t get any engagement, at least from me. Say stupid shit once, okay, fine. Say it twice? That’s a mute from me. It still somehow keeps showing up in my feed after that? Block. I don’t have time for that idiocy. The best part is that some of these guys are trying to create a brand for themselves and sell something. Guess what dumbass? No sales for you. At least not from me. You just lost a customer. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one either. How’s that working out for ya bud?

In the race for relevancy, quantity trumps quality. You want to stay on the top of the feed you better be churning it out and producing.

I would rather stick with quality myself. Maybe I won’t build an audience as quickly, but then again the audience that shows up for me tends to stick around for the most part. Thank you to those of you who have, you know who you are. Then again, it’s never been a popularity contest for me when it comes to my content. I create it primarily for me and then share it with you and if you get something from it, that’s a bonus.

Brewstradamus Predicts

egyptian symbols

I got asked a while ago what I would think would happen as far as “the West” would go. Especially about Men and Women. I’m not an expert on politics, in fact I try to avoid it as much as I possibly can, but considering politics are now personal, everybody is telling everybody else they voted, and who they voted for; you don’t have to be an expert in politics to see the writing on the wall.

A guy that goes by the name of “Spandrell” wrote some interesting essays almost two years ago. You can find each portion of them here:

Part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4.

In these essays, he comes up with a term called “Biological Leninism.” It’s as good a definition as any, and I’m going to refer to what I think will happen under that particular term.

Biological Leninism or BL, has been around for a long time. Longer than many of us have been alive. I’m no student of McCarthy during his particular era, but maybe in many ways, this was what he was referring to. Either way, BL has been a part of the US for several decades now. It’s in our government to one degree or another. It’s socialism. It’s in our school systems, particularly the higher levels of college, but it is also in the K through 12 range as well.

Given the outstanding student debt, the fact that most college graduates are thoroughly indoctrinated in BL, the lack of jobs, or of decent paying jobs, and the lack of any real prospects of decent jobs, I think you’re going to see a lot of the BL indoctrinated crowd press for some sort of “debt forgiveness” for their college debt.

What the final outcome will be if that happens, I have no idea. I’m not an economist, but I imagine just “wiping out” a bunch of debt is probably not going to be a good thing for the economy and the value of the dollar as a whole. I think you’ll see this particular scenario happen though.

The BL’ers (or the Left) will continue doing what they are doing for the next few years or so. Agitating about the “oppression of the Patriarchy” and “white man bad.” How is it you can have groups such as the LGBTQ community, Muslims, and women holding hands at this point in time? It’s the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Go back and look at those articles that I linked to. What is this whole thing about? Power and status. With status there comes power, and with power there comes status. Under a meritocracy, status is for those who can contribute and produce. Those who contribute the most and produce the most are elevated in status. Those who do not or cannot, are lowered in status or at best they remain static.

How hard it must be to be someone, say with a disability, to know that you cannot contribute or produce like a person without a disability? Your status in society is fixed from the day you were born for the most part. And that’s the thing, BL is a “way” to gain status without having to “do the work.” You want status? No problem, join the Left, and when we “win,” you will gain status and all of your grievances will be addressed. That’s what we are seeing in today’s times. Whether it’s atonement for slavery, oppressing women, gay persecution, people with disabilities, you name it; we have an answer for that: Biological Leninism. You can gain status just for being you. All you have to do is vote and stand behind the Party. If you don’t stand behind the Party, you will lose whatever status you have gained via us, and worst case scenario, we as a society will go back to 1948 or 1949. Patriarchy, no divorce, no abortions, no women’s rights, gays lose their rights and have to go back into the closet, all of that good scare stuff. The truth is, that’s all bullshit and lies. It’s all smoke and mirrors. It’s all boogeymen and shadows. People that follow the Left though don’t think rationally and clearly, and here we are.

Here’s the thing though: BL isn’t inherently stable.

Once the “common enemy” (white heterosexual men) are either neutralized, enslaved, or exterminated, what will happen then? There will be a consolidation of power. This is where things will get interesting. Welcome to the Purges.

Most likely if white heterosexual men are neutralized in one form or another, Islam will be the likely candidate to move forward with their own agenda. I can see them going after the minority crowd first. What white heterosexual men and other minorities will do is most likely get on board with Islam, because under Islam you can either convert, pay a tax and be considered a “second class citizen” with no real rights, or you can be exterminated. Look it up, it’s in the Koran. Once the whites and the minorities join Islam, then it’s curtains for the LGBTQ crowd. After that will be the women.

I don’t think many women will be exterminated, but they will be enslaved in one form or another. Sperm is still cheap and eggs are still expensive. Nothing has changed there. Women think they have been oppressed under the white man? They haven’t seen anything yet. Who will come to save the women at this point? Or the LGBTQ? No one. No one because that group will be eliminated, assimilated, or neutralized. People still give grief and flak over the barbarity of Christianity that happened hundreds of years ago. Those days are long gone and same with a serious fighting force of Christians. Islam is doing Jihad today. They are fighting the “good fight” today. It’s being encouraged as I write this. Once the women are shored up, then the battle against Israel will probably accelerate. After all, Islam’s goal is a world under Islam. “There can be only one.”

When will all of this happen, if it even does? That’s hard to say. I think the next 10 years or so will be more or less, “business as usual.” After that is when it will be up for grabs. There won’t be a civil war as we think of it. I think the idea of bloodshed as we imagine will be lower than what it could be. We will vote our own demise in, it’s what we are doing now. The unfortunate thing is, it’s been going on for a long time and we’ve gone well past the point of no return.
