Bright Brief - Vineyard Vanity

A Genius Narrative Deployment

Pointing out the hypocrisy inherent in the mass adoption of the far-left, Marxist or ‘Modern Liberal’ mindset has become as tired in the larger Truth Community as it is in the latest Tucker Carlson normie-Conservative monologue … though he’s admittedly quite talented.

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

Moreover, the reason I’m visiting the ‘Migrants to Martha’s Vineyard’ deployment now, a week after it happened is because I’m happy to highlight it and its compounding and continuing effects on the Collective Mind of American society have been more pronounced and more effective than I had at first believed.

For those of us in the more exploratory corners of the Information War, such surface-level, low hanging fruit deployments like Governor Ron DeSantis shipping a bunch of illegals to Martha’s Vineyard can come off as rote, unoriginal and even cynical—the latter bringing our reaction to it dangerously close to that of those it was designed to incense in the first place.

In short, the whole thing comes off more like a political stunt, or a living Meme rather than some grand strategy or stroke of cultural genius.

And yet … that’s exactly what the whole thing is, and, I have come to believe, that’s exactly why the whole thing has worked to a marked, even stunning level.

You see, DeSantis didn’t just follow the Greg Abbott playbook by bussing Venezuelans to some drab, gray terminal in the heart of a decaying and already overcrowded, far from homogenous New York City. He shipped them to an island that might as well be the crown jewel of liberal, ‘white’ privilege.

By [their] own definitions, Martha’s Vineyard’s wealthy, homogenous and ‘comfortable’ population represents the EXACT sort of community that NEEDS the injection of … diversity, for lack of a better term. In providing this needed injection of diversity with all the media-eschewing aplomb he has become known for in short order, DeSantis engineered a masterstroke in the Reverse Hegelian Dialectic I often talk about around these parts, mainly in relation to the Russian/Eastern theater of the ongoing war between Globalism and Sovereignty.

Call it cynical. Call it a political stunt. Call it insensitive.

And you would be right on all counts.

Which is precisely the point.

DeSantis deployed the rare Actual Event to go along with his oft-stated and, again, sometimes ‘tired’ Potential/Narrative Events. It’s one thing to get up in front of a Florida podium and rant about Liberal Hypocrisy with soundbite after soundbite ‘owning the Libs,’ but it’s quite another to put them as a collective ideology on the back foot so immediately and succinctly, and to make no apologies in the act of doing so.

In fact, DeSantis’ stunt was so widely-reported that it became an immediate cultural lightning rod that served its intended purposes fully, even pulling future Deep State Dictator/President hopeful Gavin Newsome into the fray, prompting traded barbs about the mockery inherent in the too-liberal use of hair gel vs. hair spray.

When remarking on this deployment on Truth Social, my initial impression gave way to the following exchange with one of our favorite frogs on the internet:

While it is inarguable that this ‘event’ has had a massive media and cultural impact, I think what fascinates me most about it is the multitude of ‘Why’s’ that led to it doing so.

First, I believe the chosen ‘haven’ for DeSantis’ chosen pilgrims was a work of genius. Again, Martha’s Vineyard is not just a ‘liberal’ place. It is essentially a closed-loop system whose ideology matches its economy in its siloed, specialized and utterly closed-off nature, despite signaling to all fortunate enough to grace its sandy, lighthouse-marked shores its high, mighty and to this point unchallenged virtue and grace … much like the Obama family that frequents its waters and the decadent halls of the mansion they purchased on its precious green land.

While those with discerning minds have always known that the Marxist-Globalist ideology that has permeated every rock, stone and bed of moss on the Vineyard was rooted in a hypocrisy stemming from the use of the very diesel-guzzling steam ships that keep the whole operation running, DeSantis managed to shatter any and all pretenses as to its cultural hypocrisy as well.

In reacting to DeSantis’ provocation, the residents and ideological defenders of Martha’s Vineyard fell into his trap as readily as the most simple field mouse. After all, did these Venezuelan migrants not ‘enrich’ this culturally-lacking jewel in the northern Atlantic? And if not, why not?

The exposure of hypocrisy is so blatant and obvious that it’s difficult for the liberal side of the aisle, of the illegal immigration-denying side of the aisle to explain what, exactly is wrong about the move. After all, these are, as DeSantis points out, supposed to be sanctuaries for all people, and there is no such thing, we have been told, as ‘illegal human beings.’

The one argument they seem to be clinging to is painting the entire thing as both a political stunt (it absolutely is,) and as a demeaning example that betrays a fundamental lack of value for the human beings these illegal migrants are.

(It absolutely does.)

Which, again, was precisely the point. In shipping 50 migrants—many of whom are no doubt victims of circumstance, as their media defenders would point out to you—is a cynical, callous and even somewhat immoral move … and that has only highlighted the ensuing cynicism, callousness and immorality of those who have called for others to absorb the burdens—and any ensuing sins—they would not.

DeSantis has rendered the clean, unclean. He has rendered the righteous, scornful. He has rendered virtue mutable, and malleable, to suit the ends of those who would seek to deploy it as a means of garnering attention, and social and political capital.

You read that right.

In treating the migrants like cattle or even pests to be transported to a faraway farm so that they might sallow another’s fields instead of one’s own, DeSantis has done exactly what THEY have done. In shipping illegals all over the nation, under cover of darkness, in the backs of trucks or over coyote-led desert treks, the cultural and ideological left have been treating these people like animals longer than anyone else. In allowing for the conditions under which trafficking and dangerous, irresponsible illegal migration is occurring into the US, they have created the very conditions for dehumanization in the first place.

The difference is that DeSantis did it in the open, loudly, boldly and under the judgment and exposure of all the sunlight in the world.

This has also exposed a key that seems to be emerging as the America First movement decidedly separates itself from the traditional Conservative movement, and that is, frankly, to own a specific set of values, and to move forward with those values worn as armor, and with political arguments taken seriously and followed through to their natural endings.

Instead of shrinking back under shrieking and hysterical accusations of racism, America First candidates, leaders and hopefully, one day soon, voters are standing tall, and exposing this hypocrisy for all to see, taking all of the slings and arrows their enemies hurl at them and turning them back without denying them.

It is often said that comedy tells more truth than anything else. If so, one of the most effective tactics for the America First movement to employ going forward is to expose the ideological enemy’s utter idiocy and disdain for their fellow man, by publicly, sarcastically and even somewhat cynically exposing their tactics, while drawing attention to the attempt.

‘We are in a culture war,’ DeSantis seems to be saying. ‘It’s time we start fighting it.’

I believe this concept can be applied on a more philosophical level to political and cultural argument going forward. It’s a GO signal in a more esoteric way than Kari Lake’s victory was in an overt, logistical way: the GO signal here is all about wearing the stances that will rebuild this country proudly and for all to see, and to defend them vigorously, and expose their antithesis mercilessly.

“Show them no mercy,” Aragorn says as he prepares for the defenders of Helm’s Deep to receive the martial evil of 10,000 monsters in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Two Towers, “for you shall receive none.”

From election fraud re-emerging into the public narrative to the weaponization of US intel agencies to the pending economic crash engineered by one side, and not the other, and to the open demonization of MAGA and Republicans at large, it’s time to give voice to the thoughts and sound to the voice.

It’s time to stop hiding. And it’s time to stop letting them hide behind their own hypocrisy.

DeSantis is a showman, and he has made a spectacle out of Martha’s Vineyard’s inherent vanity.

For a place that seeks to stand as a shining beacon of Liberaldom and utopia in all the Globalist world … it’s strange that they don’t seem to be enjoying the attention.

Until next time, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.
