That really is one of the most condensed commentaries on our present society, isn't it?
A society so large and bloated, that we can't even pave our streets any longer, and when someone goes and does something about it, he's considered a criminal because he stepped on administrative peoples' toes.
Not sure if this is even real, it's been floating around the internet forever. But regardless, it still encapsulates what our civilization has devolved into.
There's a pretty good documentary that's been around for awhile now, that speaks of "The Managerial Elite".
I was turned onto it a couple of years ago, and since opening my eyes to what the real problems with our society are, it made SO MUCH SENSE.
All of our problems, literally all of them, can be traced back to this phenomenon of a managerial class.
Obviously, and it should go without saying - but there are plenty of "AcTSHUaLLy" people here - there are additional things at play, many of which have been going on for a very, very long time in our nation - such as the creeping of marxism and post-modernist views etc.
But if you were to really condense it down to what is actually causing us the most problems, in day to day operations, just regular plain ole' society, it can be boiled down to the managerial class.
When you hear people say things like "these people' or refer to the infamous THEY, referring to some nebulous group of nerdogooders, people are actually talking about the managerial class.
They're a very specific group within society, who day to day cause tehse fucking problems. They're a useless group of people who are incapable of creating anything, incapable of contributing anything, yet somehow, they've managed to find themselves at the lower and middle rungs of power and authority in our society, and they have clamped on like fucking leeches.
If that OP post were true, and some guy is wanted by local authorities for fillign in a pot hole, you can rest assured, the managerial class are involved.
Here's the original one I was talking about:
(Youtube link, because I couldn't find a rumble link to the same video, sue me)
Sam Francis also is the originator of the term anarcho-tyranny, which is arguably the system of government we are seeing today.
Some definitions:
Anarcho-tyranny is a concept, where the state is argued to be more interested in controlling citizens so that they do not oppose the managerial class (tyranny) rather than controlling real criminals (causing anarchy). Laws are argued to be enforced only selectively, depending on what is perceived to be beneficial for the ruling elite.
Anarcho-tyranny - a system of government that fails to enforce or adjudicate protection to its citizens while simultaneously persecuting innocent conduct
It probably gets discussed in your video, but thought I'd put this out there as it is an important concept.
Evil has always existed. There will always be people seeking to control and exploit others.
It's a never ending battle, and that's why complacency is so dangerous. Best case scenario, you get fat and out of shape and pull a hammy getting off the couch. Worst case scenario...well we're seeing it....
Spot on. And, they’re pissed at the guy for filling the hole because their whole grift is collecting taxes continually, so they can “solve” the “problem” at a much later date. The longer they take to fill it, all the more long drawn out reason to keep collecting the taxes.
Collecting taxes to pay companies that are in on the racket, the people who fix the roads charge way more than is neccessary while officials get their palms greased in an endless circle jerk of robbing the taxpayer.
If one guy can fix the hole with a bit of cement cheap enough to do it out of his own pocket from frustration, that should give everyone an idea of how cheap it should actually be.
I've said before that most day to day operations that we're supposedly paying taxes for, could be done on a beer budget by a couple of randos.
Potholes in the road? Couple bags of cold-patch and an hour of some guys time for basic labor. Boom, $30 bucks cost.
Instead, we have to go through this entire convoluted system where we have to involve engineers, insurance people, administrators, human resources people, contractors, bid processes, etc., and balloon that cost up to $60k so that we can justify why those people even have jobs.
Most jobs that are even left in this nation now, provide no real value. The overwhelming majority of them, IMHO, are baby sitting adults and giving them some way to collect money other than sitting on their ass at home.
Beyond that, it also goes to the theory that the vast majority of people get promoted until they reach incompetency. It takes a special person who can put aside any desire for advancement and realize that they are in a position where their abilities can be best put to use. So instead, you get people who keep pushing for the best job with the best pay and eventually they get to a point where they aren't so good. The problem is that the person above them is in the same position and no one wants to admit the person they just promoted isn't such a good fit. So you get middle management filled with a bunch of company yes men who keep the machine going because the machine is what's giving them their lifestyle.
Even when I was 20 I knew I’d rather make less money, but enjoy what I do.
I worked in a family owned music shop; selling and fixing guitars. After a year the son wanted to make me a manager and I said no.
I saw he spent all day ordering shit, dealing with problem customers and he was miserable. And when he’d try to make a sale he was the pushiest dude ever.
I’d preferred to chat no stress to customers and then spend the other half of my day wrenching on guitars. He was shocked I didn’t want a promotion lol
More or less. I think that's the type of person those basement dwellers aspire of becoming. Most of us see that type and get physically disgusted. Those "people" see that type and get an erection.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
I'm pretty sure this story has floated around for years, at least in some variation. Could just be me not remembering correctly but I'm certain I've seen this before, and a lot longer than back in may of this year.
A very similar story played out in Jackson, Mississippi several years ago. Last time I visited, cops weren’t needed to enforce speed limits because of how plentiful and deep the potholes were. A resident got fed up, broke into the public works supply yard and stole a bunch of materials he then used to fill several of the worst potholes. By so visibly showing the state had all the resources available they needed to do this work, he embarrassed them greatly, and for doing so they unleashed the full power of their police goons to hunt him down and charge him. He became a local hero and therefore an enemy of the state.
Just earlier this year a lady in my city had been complaining about potholes on her front street for months. She ended up planting flowers in the pot holes and the city came to fill them the next day. It started to make the news and people saw her as a hero. City officials claimed the timing of it was coincidental, and in the same breath urged citizens not to plant flowers in their potholes.
Good for her. Now, if she has a lot of time to spare, she should FOIA the city to see why they’ve been dragging their feet so much. Methinks there’s a bit of corruption hiding in there…

It is absolutely real. There's also this guy that kept requesting stairs for his park and the city wouldn't build them, so he built them himself, at the city came and to tour them down specifically because, yeah, he stepped on these bureaucrats' toes
15 years ago someone told me how he was arrested and fighting his city because they wouldn't mow the lawn in a small park, so he went and did it himself. He got in trouble for mowing a lawn. We devolved quite a while ago.
Because who wouldn’t be enraged when they’re trying to get home for years and can’t because “tHeY pAy TaxEs fOr thE rOaDs” but the taxes aren’t fixing the roads
You can start painting dicks around the potholes like that one guy did. Though, they would probably just come out and spend 30 minutes painting over the area instead of just dumping a bucket of gravel until it can be fixed later.
As I posted above, a very similar story played out in Jackson, Mississippi several years ago. Beware, it will embarrass the state leadership greatly and they will almost certainly label it the greatest attack on our democracy since the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Fwiw this is the kind of definition of anarchism leftists commonly tout. As in “anarchism” = “getting things done in local communities without relying on government involvement or without accidentally reinventing the issue of government”.
Saying it out loud not to stir trouble but to find ways to depolarize issues that matter like broken infrastructure.
Some government pig's cousin's company was going to do it for $100,000 and do a shitty job so it breaks again soon, and now they've missed out on the money and have to go hustle for a real job like a common pleb.
In my town, we had a guy that started spray painting huge dicks around the pot holes. They had to cover up the obscene graphic, that's filling in the hole at the same time. It was very effective
People once scoffed at me for suggesting at a youtube video about a pothole yet to be fixed that they go get a bag of cold patch for $7 and quit bitching.
That's not the point. The point was that the people living on the street had been complaining for YEARS that a pot hole had not been filled, instead of buying a $7 bag of cold patch to fix the hole so they could drive over it without destroying their car.
10 years ago I needed a 9 to 5 so I could be home in the evening to take care of my wife who was afflicted with early onset Alzheimer's.
I took a job at an insurance company call center. I'm not a computer person and initially was intimidated by the mishmash of 5 or 6 programs tied together on my two computer screens. I
handled inbound calls and processed information back and forth with insurance agents while talking on the phone.
I became proficient at facilitating the agents' clients applications through the system. So much so that my employee of the month awards were plastered all around our office. Agents would hang up on other call reps until they got me to answer the phone call from the que.
I was on a "team" with 15 women and one femboy. Our "Team lead" was a useless, fat, ugly, divorcee, who hated men and insurance agents in particular. Every idea or process that I had tried to improve she squashed. So, I took to bypassing her and sending them straight to her boss who implemented probably 50% of my ideas.
Which of course caused my boss to hate me.
One day while attempting to escalate a problem to her, I finally snapped.
I stood up and said this guy has been trying to resolve this problem for 17 phone calls to us
(I could see the history on my screen).
All you have to do is pick up the phone and push a button to waive the stupid requirement! The underwriters have noted the file for you to waive it for a week.
JUST DO YOUR JOB, For once!
Needless to say I was fired. But not before she walked over to my desk and said, "You have been undermining her authority for 2 years NOW I GOT YOU"
That useless bitch was a pothole in the road of efficiency. A typical example of a middle manager that fills a square on an organizational chart that could easily just be eliminated
We had a bridge wash out in one of our unincorporated towns and that bridge was fixed within a day. Local guy had an excavator and the community helped pay for gas and any supplies. Quickest infrastructure repair I have ever witnessed. Governments are a waste of money.
I have a really good question anyone can ask at a townhall meeting. Our taxes pay to maintain the roads, right? Well if I hit a pothole the size of kamala's bonus hole, and it destroys my front end, why isn't the state/city/county responsible?
Why don't Americans have the balls to say FUCK off with the taxes when we continue to get railroaded? Everywhere I go, the roads and bridges are old and crappy, and they install asphalt every 5 years. It's a scam.
We pay taxes to have these issues fixed. They buy houses have expensive dinners and send money to Ukraine instead. This dude who did this is a fucking hero and should get a tax refund of what it would took to fix it but they view him as criminal? Nahh they’re the criminals.
Lol some beaurocrat Karen was in the process of giving a multimilliondollar contract to her brother-in-law's construction business but here comes Batman to save the fucking day and take away her new Audi.
There is a bridge by me that has had the one side closed for over a year at this point, and I have literally never once seen anyone doing any work on it.
They’re upset because one man did it for less money, in less time, and without an entire team of supervisors. If true conservatives led this country, we’d have flying cars by now instead debating if a guy in a dress is a girl.
I have a pothole outside my street that's so big I always have to avoid it else if I hit it I get a huge jolt... Tempted to get a bag of asphalt and a hand compression tool and fill it in myself...
I've actually done this before....I had an extra bag of concrete on my truck and put it in a pothole.....without permission....LOL.....making a hole a little less deep.....
They estimated it would be 65k to 150k but ended up spending only 10k after this guy exposed them. Someone lost out on a lot of graft but ontarios all about second chances for corruption.
They want to make sure that the community knows that "WE" the plebs, proles and hois polloi cannot do anything except that which the crown / government has sanctioned
Like an abusive helicopter parent hovering around and angrily saying, "don't do this" "don't do that" "you're doing it wrong" "why can't you do anything right" "here just let me do it"
When you DO take action into your own hands they become INSANELY
Angry
Jealous (because you're doing it shows THEIR defects...defects in THEIR system)
Anti-competitive (instead of competitive....scramblling to take over the fix, for example, or coordinating with the corrective community...no they shut down the fix; they UNDO the fix)
Subversive to those taking action into their hands
That really is one of the most condensed commentaries on our present society, isn't it?
A society so large and bloated, that we can't even pave our streets any longer, and when someone goes and does something about it, he's considered a criminal because he stepped on administrative peoples' toes.
Not sure if this is even real, it's been floating around the internet forever. But regardless, it still encapsulates what our civilization has devolved into.
It's the untreated toe infection that kills the pilot of the $1 billion dollar state of the art bomber.

It probably gets discussed in your video, but thought I'd put this out there as it is an important concept.
Anarcho-tyranny is a neccessary stepping stone for the transition from a mostly free or semi free society toward an authoritarian society.
Basically all communist movements in history have followed this recipe.
Create chaos and then restore "order" from that chaos.
Ordo ab Chao
Lux in Tenebris
This isn't new information. Its been going on since the roman times.
Indeed it has.
Evil has always existed. There will always be people seeking to control and exploit others.
It's a never ending battle, and that's why complacency is so dangerous. Best case scenario, you get fat and out of shape and pull a hammy getting off the couch. Worst case scenario...well we're seeing it....
"Anarcho-Tyranny" is a retarded misleading term. There's nothing at all related to anarchism in what is described, it is simply tyranny.
A more legit definition of "anarcho tyranny" might be something like "anarchists who are really just a bunch of authoritarians."
Anarcho-tyranny is about letting criminals run rampant.
Anarchy is the absense of law, it fits perfectly.
Found the butthurt anarchist
Sam Francis was a professional writer and an academic. So naturally, he and his big brain used a word incorrectly to create a political buzzword.
It's not discussed, but that's a great point that does need to be included, because you're right.
I prefer the term Technocrats, and they've got a long and illustrious history.
James Corbett has done some great work on the subject:

Govt jobs for sure are that way.
Well, if this actually happened and isn't fake. If it's been floating around on the internet for a while, it might be just made up.

He's probably enraged that they are enraged now after someone spends their own money fixing it after months.
YOU GOTTA ASK THE POTHOLE NICELY BEFORE YOU FILL IT WITH YOUR SEMENT.
Maybe he just has a several case of OCD.

People once scoffed at me for suggesting at a youtube video about a pothole yet to be fixed that they go get a bag of cold patch for $7 and quit bitching.
Cold patches don't last as long as a properly applied hot patch.

They’re upset because one man did it for less money, in less time, and without an entire team of supervisors. If true conservatives led this country, we’d have flying cars by now instead debating if a guy in a dress is a girl.
I have a pothole outside my street that's so big I always have to avoid it else if I hit it I get a huge jolt... Tempted to get a bag of asphalt and a hand compression tool and fill it in myself...
I believe in you, Captain Butthurt! May your butt hurt slightly less in the future!
If my shocks weren't so good, I'd be feeling butthurt every time I drove out of my street lol
Won't spend money or time filling the hole.
Will spend money and time trying to attack the person who filled the hole on his own dime.
I've actually done this before....I had an extra bag of concrete on my truck and put it in a pothole.....without permission....LOL.....making a hole a little less deep.....
Without government, who will pave the roads?!
...
No really, who? They need to be apprehended and properly charged.
It reminds me of a story from Toronto where a guy spent $550 building stairs at a park (after the city was too slow to build one). The city tore down his stairs then spent $65,000 to build their own. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/toronto-man-builds-park-stairs-for-550-irking-city-after-65-000-estimate-1.3510237
They estimated it would be 65k to 150k but ended up spending only 10k after this guy exposed them. Someone lost out on a lot of graft but ontarios all about second chances for corruption.
He raped that road - leftists
Lol

They are kontrol freaks
They want to make sure that the community knows that "WE" the plebs, proles and hois polloi cannot do anything except that which the crown / government has sanctioned
Like an abusive helicopter parent hovering around and angrily saying, "don't do this" "don't do that" "you're doing it wrong" "why can't you do anything right" "here just let me do it"
When you DO take action into your own hands they become INSANELY
One of the main things government is supposed to do is build and maintain the roads, yet these grifting clowns won't even do that.
The roads in southeastern VA and DFW are horrible, full of potholes, pits, and dips from the underlying dirt sinking.
I'm sure the police there have lots of real crimes they should be solving, but no, they're after this person.
So evil. Right up there along with British citizens who criticize the government’s immigration policies, or misgender people
