Even though self-proclaimed time traveller Arthur Augustyn dropped his first campaign video on April Fool’s Day, he was completely serious about running against democrat Caroline Simmons for Stamford Mayor this November.
But don’t worry!
“You don’t need to believe in time travel to believe THE FUTURE IS BRIGHTER,” wrote Augustyn, who was a democrat until he re-registered as unaffiliated in 2022, and then as a Republican in 2024.
In fact, he served as deputy campaign manager for Stamford Mayor Caroline Simmons in 2021, and as former Stamford Mayor David Martin’s director of communications.
“Stamford’s future is held back by fear and dysfunction, but this is fixable. By breaking down our broken system, valuing people as our greatest resource, and embracing the risks necessary for improvement, we can unlock the brighter future our city deserves,” says Augustyn. “These problems make Stamford unaffordable and puts our future at risk.”
He promised the future is coming, and it’s brighter.
“I’m not a politician. I’m an artist. I’m a writer who happened to serve as Stamford’s Director of Communication from 2018 to 2021,” wrote the son of Polish immigrants who came to the US to escape a communist regime. “I’m running for mayor because my experience at the Government Center showed me something troubling.”
One of the problems, as Augustyn sees it, is Stamford’s “potential is being held back by a destructive worldview: anti-social nihilism” which he describes as the belief that “people make the city worse, nothing can be trusted, and the only change possible is exploitation.”
He says this worldview only serves to make people miserable and act on fear.
That’s why he’s pitching pro-social conservatism as the alternative, centered on the belief that people are the greatest resource, but without the DEI nonsense.
His policies haven’t been released yet, but should be released over the next two months, so there’s not much more to go on, other than the video of course and his bio.
According to Joe Andreana, the Stamford Republican Town Committee Chair, Augustyn has not engaged with the RTC about his campaign, at least not yet.
In the meantime, you can follow Augustyn on his website and on social media (X/Twitter, TikTok, YouTube).
Neither communism nor fascism can save pluralism which is the spirit of chaos, everyone doing that which seems right in their own eyes. But pluralism is the precursor to these two isms and more.
Pluralism postulates that its possible for everyone to agree to disagree about anything. Stupid is as stupid does! Try harnessing just one cat in a dog sled and imagine anything useful coming of it. For decades public broadcasting repeated the mantra of pluralism—“diversity is strength”. Utter nonsense! The opposite is true truth, “unity is strength”. Diversity broadly applied is division and weakness!
Mix wool or cotton fiber with nylon fiber and see how much strength is added to the nylon fiber. Water does not improve the lubricity of oil! Purposeful alloys on the other hand improve certain plannded qualities of the base. Common sense examples in nature are endless, yet the constant lying governent media one size fits all drumbeat won the contest leading to open doors, open borders and open crotches!
Collectives only work well when they are voluntary. Forced collectives always self destruct because man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.
Voluntarism weeds out discontent and discord.
What is so hard to understand? Ask yourself whose hands have been increasingly upon the public broadcast levers and other levers of communication powers since early in the 20th century.
“His policies haven’t been released yet ….”
Off to a bad, time wasting start.
