Happy No Kings Day!

Don't be a square: get with the Tiananmenvy.

L.A. has more riots than Rapture on New Year’s Eve, 1958!

friends that I wondered how Democrats would feel when the person whom they had spent years lachrymosely lambasting for being a Super Saiyan Hitler Satan—some combination of Adrian Veidt’s villainous genius and Azathoth’s gibbering madness, an existential threat to the very fabric of reality itself—was, in fact, basically just John Goodman’s fat, uncouth character in the zany 1991 comedy King Ralph.

I came a little bit closer to getting my answer this week as the Dem Faithful decided to officially declare the Don a king!¹ Heil Hail to the king, baby! They did this by going back to the “Indigenous Peeps Day” and “Juneteenth” playbook and creating a goofy, new holiday, this time the so-called “No Kings Day.”² A day to virtue signal how much you hate Trump and earn your place in the Borg Woke Hivemind; so basically every day for these people!

Ostensibly designed to protest America having borders, it appears to be largely an excuse for Wokesters to cosplay season two of the putrid Picard show, the sci-fi series that literally (I use that word advisedly.) features the cast battling a fascist TrumPicard along with his dastardly army of ICE agents. In present day. I wish I was joking.

Seriously, if you want to understand the Woke mindset, watch Picard. It covers all the bases. In that same season, they even try to make the Borg Queen—THE BORG QUEEN—a heroic character “cuz, ya know, wamen good, socialism good, menz bad, individualism bad.” The Dems are so mad they couldn’t goad “King" Donnie into doing a a fascism during his first term that they wrote a self-insert Star Trek fanfic in 2022 where he did, and then they decided to LARP that… in real life.

Back in 2020, the Woke redshirts relentlessly rioted across major cities for months (So much for social distancing!), causing catastrophic destruction, death, and despair, going so far as to establish a deadly Mad Max Drum Circle, CHAZ-CHOP “autonomous zone” in downtown Seattle against the wishes of locals held hostage there, and yet “King” Donnie resisted intervening militarily, opting instead to allow municipalities and states to handle it themselves. Those municipalities and states, largely run by and populated by DemDems, instead made a conscious and continued choice to stand by and allow their own cities to burn, or in some cases to actively stoke the flames.

They never forgave Donnie for letting them.

It must be stressed—as beautiful warrior-poet John Fetterman recently pointed out—this not a matter of free speech and peaceful protest. I support those 100% (even if I may mock some of the things people “protest”). This is a matter of wanton violence, terrorism, and obstruction of law enforcement being encouraged by DemDem leadership.³

By hook or by crook, the Wokesters got their wish. Donnie called in the big guns, which gave them all the ammuntion they needed—in their heads and their echo chambers—to say he did a fascism.

But, why are the DemDems doing this, you may ask? Why sacrifice your own citizens to these riots? Is it just to “own the MAGAts?”

The answer is complicated. But in short, it is politically convenient. They just want the photo op and the sound bite to substantiate their desired belief. In this case, they want Trump to be a fascist, so if they can cause enough mayhem to force him to send in the military, they get the “proof” they need and validate their desperate Star Trek/Star Wars rebellion cosplay narrative.

This is a real poster. Mark “I Lost My Fucking Mind” Hamill himself signed them to raise money for Voldemort Zelenskyy. I swear I’ve seen one specifically targeting MAGA, too, but regardless, you get the point. This is the smeared, shattered lens through which these lunatics view the world. And themselves.

Just like they have Selma Envy⁴ and Blade Envy,⁵ the DemDems have a terminal case of Tiananmenvy, too.⁶

According to the Oxford Language Dictionary me, “Tiananmenvy” is a portmanteau of “Tiananmen Square” (the site of the in/famous 1989 political protests in China) and the word “Envy.” It refers to “a profound and pathological desire to assuage one’s existential dread and instill one’s vapid life with meaning by attempting to fanfic insert yourself into shallow, anodyne facsimiles of meaningful, dangerous rebellions of the past.” End of quote.

Think I’m being hyperbolic? Here is just one example of a separate article making the Tiananmen Square comparison regarding “Trump’s military parade”⁷ on Trump’s birthday June 14th No Kings Day!

I go into greater depth about the psychology of this behavior in the aforementioned article about Selma and Blade Envy, so for the purpose of this essay just allow me to pull a pertinent Fight Club quote I use there, as well:

We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.

This perspicacious point comes from a defining film of Gen X, a generation defined by existentialism, and the ideas and the emotions contained therein would only descend further in subsequent generations, eventually disintegrating into the actual nihilism we see today.⁸ This is one of the deep and powerful psychological undercurrents that manifests in the various “Envy’s” we see today.⁹

Luckily for them, both their psychological need for validation and their political desire for power can be easily satisfied with a simple selfie, sound bite, or slogan.

This was true with the gazillion fake lawsuits they threw at Trump. They don’t care at all about the details or even the validity of the cases; they just wanted to technically be able to say “Trump is a felon!”

Dopamine: received!
Narrative checkbox: checked!

There are deeper psychological elements at play here, but we could be here for weeks excavating all of the motivations, e.g., the Shadow Feminine DemDem’s “tsundere” behavior, as well as their similarity to the woman who is incessantly shrieking at or even physically attacking her boyfriend, goading him to verbally or even physically retaliate. Why? To what end? To understand that is to gain some insight into the Shadow-Cleaved Feminine DemDem behavior.¹⁰

Speaking of tanks and girls,¹¹ I have grown more convinced of my previous, inchoate sense that only three types of people are still mainstream DemDems at this point:

1. Young women (usually jiggly with blue hair, and really obsessed with baby murder/abortion in case someday they immaculately conceive)

2. Bald, gay black guys with glasses (a fixture on every network news program)

3. Old white guys still mad at Nixon (which is a lot of old white guys. See: Stephen King)

I think the latter demographic is particularly susceptible to this “No Kings Day” rhetoric and imagery, because—in their defense¹²—they actually did partake in meaningful protests and acutally did get gunned down by the National Guard back on May 4, 1970, at Kent State University in northeastern Ohio. An event that would be immortalized by a defining band of their generation, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, in their song Ohio.

Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio

It is a very good song.¹³ And a relic from the era when Neil Young was (at least, theoretically) “rockin’ in the free world”¹⁴ and hadn’t decided to somehow double-sellout his ideals by first boycotting Spotify in an attempt to force them to censor Joe Rogan and then reversing even that idiotic, dystopian idea later because it would mean extending his preening boycott to other streaming services that were also rockin’ in the free world—to coin a phrase—and ol’ Neil didn’t want to deprive himself of all that filthy lucre (ain’t nothin’ free in the free world, after all) his adoring fans of the ability to stream his delightful catalog of classic tunes!

For my money, though, when I look at the wretches wailing and gnashing their teeth on this No Kings Day, I start to feel a bit sick at heart, and I can’t help but think of a different song.

1. Not to be confused with Don King

2. Not to be confused with Martin Luther King Day, Draft Kings Day, Latin Kings Day, Oops! All Kings Day, or, best of all, Suicide Kings Day

3. I will note in fairness, and for posterity, that I do wonder if this recent party “battle” over riots and military response is not some multi-decade, multi-phase coordinated psyop across “parties” (including Trump) to Overton reframe, Hegel finagle, and maneuver everyone into accepting ever-increasing levels of totalitarian control and police-state tactics, an attempt to begin normalizing military supression of protests among certain groups. Get us used to seeing tanks on the street, getting even someone like me cheering for them in this case.

And, I do disagree with some of Trump and his admin’s moves with regard to immigration and several other issues. Of course, some people will say “Yeah, a powermad sociopath brazenly, illegally deporting American citizens and deploying the fuckin’ military to crush anyone daring to criticize him: THAT doesn’t bother you, but you’re big mad about the people with the temerity to actually speak up against this insane, dictatorial overreach!? What a glib, hypocritical, partisan, bootlicking loser!” While that’s not a very polite way of putting it, I can see the argument. The difference in opinion likely lies in several fundamental differences with the basic framing though, e.g., my belief that illegal immigration is a major problem, my agreement with the current admin’s (and many legal scholars’) view that children born to people here illegally are not U.S. citizens, my contention that rioting should not be conflated with protesting and the Dems have weaponized this before (the main thrust of this particular article), my belief that—barring a few odd case that I cede warrant further consideration—the current tactics being deployed in the pursuit of these policies are not “dictatorial overreach,” and so on.

All that said, enforcing immigration policy and quelling actual riots given the apalling track record of these municipalities and “protestors” over the last few years seems a necessary “evil,” but make no mistake, it is a dangerous game we’re playing.

7. Or as sane people know it, the celebration of the Army’s 250th anniversary. A very common type of event for any number of non-FaSciST! countries to hold. For as much as DemDems shriek and wail about Trump’s narcissistic need to put his name on everything, which is true by the way, these lunatics actually put him to shame with how often they insist on branding everything even remotely related to his administration “Trump’s ________.” (Trump’s tariffs, Trump’s trade war, Trump’s insurrection, Trump’s parade… )

8. I’ve been meaning to write an article about this for months, but for now suffice it to say American society has progressed/regressed through the following symbolic, socio-cultural, theological and philosophical stages in roughly hewn generational increments from 1950s to present day: Religious > Spiritual > Hedonistic > Existential > Nihilistic.

9. Just dawned on me that the Wokesters embrace “Pride” and “Envy.” You could probably make a good case (and a good series of articles) exploring the remaining five Deadly Sins in this context. Hmm…

10. And, yes, as I’ve mentioned before, this is theoretically set in opposition to that good ol’ Walmart brand of Bush/Cheney, NeoCon, Shadow Masculine authoritarianism and vulgar displays of power, but that isn’t what we’re actually seeing from MAGA. At least, not at the moment. Hell, Biden’s administration was far more hawkish and authoritarian, and Kamala enthusiastically accepted Darth Cheney’s endorsement.

11. Though sadly not the awesome Tank Girl

12. If you read my now far-too-referenced Selma/Blade Envy article, you will learn that I am also the world’s premier (read: only) Boomer defender.

13. Even if it didn’t accomplish jack haha, as Nixon went on to win re-election in a landslide in ‘72, including a dominating performance in the state of Ohio. But, the events at KSU and the public response to them are huge topics in-and-of-themselves.

14. Yes, I know Young aKSHuLy wrote “Rockin’ in the Free World” in 1989 while on tour with his band, The Restless, and not back with CSNY. It’s just a joke.
