The dirty secret of western success has always been soft eugenics of the family, economy, military, and law. The problem is that the eugenics movement needed to succeed to prevent regression to the mean. And the postwar ban on the subject made conservatism impossible to advance.

Even so, without immigration the right would have been proven right.

And you can’t unmake any technology. – or well, you can, the austronesians lost the art of fire and sail. But the cost of doing so is the same that they paid – rapid devolution.

The roman empire like the american was destroyed in about seventy years, by the same people by the same method. Fool us once shame on you. We will not be fooled twice.
Either we end the liberal program and fundamentalism like we did communism, or we lose 100m people. Choose.

@Politidope You see, you think of marches in the streets. We think of the gradual sieging of population centers dependent on trade networks, power, communication, and redistribution checks. It takes 500 men to end american dominance in the world in just 90 days.And then we come for enemies.

Hayek and Poincare were right: the 20th will be remembered as a repeat of christianization and islamization of the ancient world – this time with sophism, pseudoscience and denial,instead of sophism, supernaturalism and denial:false promise of reversing the consequences of genes.

Yes. Well, my response is, “You have failed every time you have tried this, in every civilization, and the end result has always been the same. What makes you think it’s going to be different this time around?” Door to door for guns vs door to door for members of any group. Easy.

Not common knowledge any longer, but it’s indoor water, indoor toilet, and indoor washing machine, with refrigerator next. Stove isn’t that big a deal. And in retrospect the telephone was a curse. 😉 Getting water is a pain. Even living where water isn’t potable’s an experience.

My guess is the washing machine and drier would be the biggest godsend. I’d say they’d think dishwashers were useless since they all ate from one pot anyway and wouldn’t understand why we needed so many dishes in the house. https://t.co/XECwQBitFR

The fact that europeans practiced eugenics in one form or another, land use and cohabitation before, but especially above the H line after 700, and aggressive hanging after 1200 didn’t hurt either. Unfortunately the carolingians failed and it took centuries to rebuild trade.

At the time we talked and thought about it in terms of waiting out the failure of neoliberalism as we waited out marxism. However, postmodernism, immigration, and the destruction of the family as the central object of policy were a successful strategy. Mostly immigration.

@GrkStav @karlbykarlsmith Easily. Vote into place rents rather than dividends. Immigrate into place renters, or service workers, rather than producers of multiples. Tax the producers, regulate wages, and tax the middle class to redistribute reproduction to the underclass.
