Regenerative Karens
Some Brits are surprised at the ferocity of Karenism in the current holocaust. They shouldn't be surprised. The British government has cultivated Karens for a long time. US Deepstate has picked up the habit, but it's still nowhere near as strong or well established. YET.

A 1924 article in Wireless Weekly shows the consistency of the long Karen pattern.

Headline: The BBC as Secret Police

Background: Regenerative receivers worked by creating an internal oscillation that served to demodulate the signal. Early regens had the annoying habit of transmitting their internal oscillation back through the antenna, which was a serious problem for neighboring receivers. Superhets, which were brand new in 1924 and not commercially popular yet, use an internal oscillator in a more orderly and 'quiet' way.

Many of our readers will have been astonished to note in the issue of Radio Times of March 21 a column headed " The Oscillation Nuisance - An Official Effort to Assist Listeners." The Officials of the British Broadcasting Company, in this "Important Notice," ask for information to be sent to them on a particular Form, which should state : Your name; Your address; Nature of complaint (duration, intensity, whether constant or intermittent); Name and address of offender (if known). The note which appears under this Form indicates that the information will be treated confidentially, and with regard to the third item, it is pointed out that it is useless to make wild guesses.

History in past centuries, and even in this century, has indicated that the encouragement of giving information to those in authority, whether this authority has been the Inquisition or the Secret Police under the Czarist regime, has led to the worst form of despotism and misery. When an important body like the British Broadcasting Company practically invites listeners to send them the names and addresses of people they think are oscillating, things have come to a pretty pass. Although the offence of oscillating is not a serious one in comparison with certain crimes, yet the principle is not altered, and the people of this country resent any interference with their liberty and peace.

If the BBC continues this invitation, no one will be safe from the secret postcard to the BBC which "will be treated confidentially," and which, in most cases, will be an outrageous, and sometimes spiteful, libel. Jones will not be able to meet Smith without wondering whether he has turned informer.

For comparison, America in 1924 was bootleggers and speakeasies. Snitches got stitched up by a Thompson gun.

We're getting far more Karenish in the current holocaust, but Karens who try to dominate a Facebook conversation still get blasted down effectively. We haven't reached parity with British Karens. YET.

Sidenote: I compared Prohibition to lockdowns back in May, but at that time the strictly partisan craziness wasn't fully formed. Now that it's formed, the comparison is worth trying again.

Prohibition was passed by midwestern Christians and Populists. NYC and media immediately rebelled, and most of the country had a healthy disdain for the rules.

Lockdowns were started by Trump, an NYC Deepstater who is falsely and maliciously mislabeled as a Populist. Even though he started and encouraged the holocaust, NYC and media are rebelling for MORE lockdowns and masks and riots. Pluponents, not opponents. There are NO OPPONENTS anywhere in the power structure. Normal people still have a healthy disdain for the genocide, but we have no support from any written or media source, no support from any politician or expert or entertainment.

The partisan divide is fully insane. Biden promises to MAINTAIN and INCREASE the lockdowns and masks and riots that Trump started. Trump has made no attempt to slow down the holocaust, but the idiot R partisans want to re-elect him so he can stop what he obviously enjoys. Both "sides" are incomprehensibly bonkers.
