Political Blitz: How DOGE may replace the Bureaucracy

There is a fundamental shift occurring in Government, a change of state we've not seen since the invention of bureaucracy

Yes, I’m starting off by referencing an Asmongold clip.

It has become apparent that the victory of Donald Trump was not half-cocked like his victory in 2016. This time, Donald Trump entered office with a plan. The subsequent political blitz to rip the guts out of the bureaucratic state is not an act of desperation. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and a number of other brilliant figures are approaching the United States executive branch with ferocious intent.

In the macro-sense, this is going somewhere interesting: Generational power is shifting from Boomers to Zoomers. Digital systems and emergent cooperative organization (e.g. 4chan and such) are apocalyptic political tools now wielded against a corrupt establishment.

A summary of the Asmongold video above: Left Wing Lunatics are spazzing out; doxing and threatening employees at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The DOJ is getting involved to arrest redditors calling for terrorism. It turns out many employees are kids: 19 to 25 years old. Deeply offended wrinkled old functionaries are demanding a return-to-form. The young kids auditing federal agencies. These kids are specialists and geniuses, not functionaries. They’re building AI tools, they’re building databases, and they’re disassembling entire agency ledgers while boomers whine and moan about this not being “real democracy.”

Welcome to the New Age

Odd that the boomers, in their final grasp at the reigns of power, will do the very thing they hated their own parents for: They’re refusing to adapt. The culture is changing at a breakneck pace. In less than 2 weeks, the new administration has shut down multiple corrupt agencies. USAID is one of the most egregious, but the Department of Education has been effected as has the Department of Personnel Management and the Department of Treasury.

Bottom to top, Donald Trump is doing something I’ve never seen a politician do before: He’s following through on campaign promises. Tired of working within the system and with little to lose, it’s apparent that he put together what can only be described as a political blitzkrieg. So much so fast that antediluvian bureaucrats can’t respond quick enough. Most are totally lost: They’re locked out of their systems, they’re being offered severance packages, and entire federal agencies are getting shut down and audited one after the next.

Very few people were ready for the onslaught of an enraged President with little to lose.

The Trump Administration is behaving like a leader immediately following a coup (not a condemnation, an observation). The United States is going through an extremely revolutionary time right now. Hopefully the revolution remains bloodless. Some of the first moves are to legitimize the new government by rooting out traitors, making radical legal changes, and putting on a political show of strength. These are things the new administration is doing to great effect. There will be some post-revolutionary purges of former allies (see the Elon Musk, Indian Immigrant debacle) and there will be a lot of post-revolutionary purges of enemies.

As a brief review of SOME of the things that have occurred since January 20th 2025:

• Donald Trump begins rescinding birthright citizenship via Executive Order

• Donald Trump has rescinded the heavily abused civil rights act via Executive Order

• Donald Trump pardoned political prisoners arrested on January 6th 2021

• The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been created

• The US Military is purging Woke Bullshit

• Reddit has begun purging subreddits as lefties are violent lunatics who keep on making death threats against DOGE employees

• Google is abandoning DEI initiatives

• Multiple government agencies have been shut down for audit

• The USAID department has been shut down for audit, cutting off the money-spigot for violent left-wing extremists and similar NGO would-be revolutionaries

In all, the speed and ferocity with which the new administration has set about dismantling a violently hostile bureaucracy is amazing. This list above is far from exhaustive, and one would be hard pressed to isolate an action of which I disapprove.

In addition to the above actions, one recent development has taken place. USAID, the United States Agency for International Development, has basically been a free-money spigot for left wing extremists. USAID kept running propaganda outlets like Politico to the tune of 32 million tax payer dollars. USAID funded millions of dollars into projects as inane as transgender opera in Columbia. Locking USAID has done a lot in terms of cutting off these despicable left-wing extremists from their funding sources.

The really interesting thing is how we now know what USAID was doing. Remember those young kids working in DOGE? The brilliant AI coders hand-picked by Elon Musk to purge the federal government of needless waste? Brilliant coders and frumpy half-dried functionaries don’t get along. The kids at DOGE were helpful: it is now possible to look up by keyword public expenditures by USAID, where the money went and where it came from. The results have been intriguing and begun an entire cooperative public project. It’s amazing what invested citizens can do when they can access otherwise highly restricted, but technically public, information.

An excellent introduction to the USAID was written by

Here’s to finding some new efficiencies for the United States Government

Let’s Look at the Long Term

While all of this initial administration stuff is all well and good, we can learn a lot more by stepping back and looking at this through the lens of history. Donald Trump and his administration are only getting started. Elon Musk and other billionaires will be happy to rip out half the American bureaucracy and the citizens will cheer for it. The really interesting question though is this:

What Will Replace the Bureaucratic State?

It’s self-evident that leftism has promoted managerial bureaucracy at the expense of human well being. The results have been a bloated mass of bullshit jobs performed by bullshit bureaucrats. Academia and the federal government the most oversaturated institutions, but very nearly everywhere it’s impossible to get away from. The average American interacts with more agencies in any given day through rules and regulations than the total number of friends they have. Managerial bureaucracy dehumanizes the individual and seeks to turn peoples into easily interchanged cogs. Leftism, being an inherently over-socialized and materialists is an inherently anti-human. Leftists have sought to replace culture with commodities and spirit with spreadsheets.

The Asmongold clip, combined with some background from Rudyard Lynch (last 5 minutes of the video below), indicates a lot of change. The Right despises managerial bureaucracy and government overreach. Comments from a few months back regarding what may happen if the Right wins, lead to an intellectual rabbit hole. Why reform the bureaucracy when one can eliminate it entirely: The Trump administration has more complex goals than mere fixes. It’ll be a change of state for human civilization.

I do this work for free; analyze current events, read books, and provide thoughtful discussion on new philosophies. If you find my work valuable, please purchase a paid subscription for the cost of a beer at the bar or a cup of coffee. We’re about to see radical changes in human society, and I am here for it.

The new administration is going to rip out a sizeable chunk of the federal bureaucracy. Still, for material civilization to function, roles must be managed, and international trade needs to be handled. The long-term plan (perhaps not by Trump, but certainly by Musk) is to replace the bureaucratic system with a far cheaper and far faster AI system. AI can already do most white-collar jobs, a sufficiently powerful AI could replace hundreds of bureaucrats with a few humans here and there to clear up mistakes.

I’ve long said that “AI will not take over the world by war, it will take over the world when we ask it to.”

That may be coming sooner than I’d thought. Digital AI systems would solve many of the inherent problems of the modern bureaucracy: an incentive for bloat through hiring more bureaucrats, unresponsiveness, incompetence, failing upwards, over-complexification, vulnerability to leftist subversion, an inability to respond to unique scenarios, etc. Some may see this as terrifying, it could be depending on who builds the AI model. Leftism seeks to create numerous useless functionary positions as part of its modus operandi: more micro-management to magically perfect the human condition. An AI developed for efficiency rather than inefficiency will both cut down cost and dramatically improve the human experience. Of course bureaucracy will never be fun but a single AI will be a hell of a lot better than what we have now.

It’s Not Over Yet

Vile woke leftists will continue to try and stop us from making life better for the average citizen. Digital system or no, the goal of every bureaucrat is to break their job into two sub-jobs, become the manager of two new bureaucrats hired to do those two jobs. One must regularly scrape bureaucrat off of systems like barnacles grown on the hull of a ship.

There is a great scraping underway in the United States right now and the barnacles are angry. If things go well, we could see the dawn of a post-managerial era where the average citizen can get a straight answer regarding rules and regulation. A time where AI systems quickly evaluate the national interest and approve or deny grant proposals and infrastructure funding. It will be years before we see if these predictions are correct. The shape of things to come will be radically different. If you have kids, do not make the mistakes our forebearers did, do not prepare them for this world, prepare them for the world in which they’ll be adults.

A different world from this.

Here’s hoping a dramatically better one.
