In that model separation of church and state survives. When we ended aristocracy we made it possible for people of a church, including the marxist-postmodernist-feminist church, to be raised in the church (the MPF academy) without learning and demonstrating fitness in war.

In a homogeneous people it is just gender, family, and class. Marriage market solves gender conflict, and commercial market solves familial market, and houses of government solve class markets for commons. So the problem is scale of middle class, and limiting competition in political markets.

While we might question the utility of imprisoning people over some drug use, we do not have levels of petty crime endemic to european countries, as well as the pervasive crime that troubles the rest of the world. And the violent crime we have is {drug related, race-restricted, and race-location-restricted} because proximity creates hostility. So, in other words, the cost of preservation of our relatively superior condition is high rates of incarceration, and the subsequent increased risk those who have been incarcerated face, and the subsequent grouping-together, and monitoring of those what have been incarcerated with those who are at risk, into areas that can be monitored. If we were to secede into racially exclusive and racially heterogeneous polities, then we would, as a consequence, also secede into high trust, high income, high commons, low crime polities, and lower trust, poorer, low commons, lower crime polities. Because groups would produce appropriate signals, behavior, manners, ethics, morals, commons, policies, and laws – and only enforce those laws suitable for their populations. White crime in america is not dissimilar from white europe. Although white under, lower, and working class intermixture with the non-white underclasses is causing defection from the middle class values we have spent 1500 years developing, and degeneration of those whites is accelerating. The data is what it is: we have lower testosterone in white groups, and greater neoteny (we mature more slowly), and higher IQ distributions, and testosterone and rapid maturity and lower IQ distributions create demand for more criminal behavior. East asians have lower demand for stimulation and lower demand for identity expression (greater conformity). This is because we have selected for heroism and identity, and they for harmony and conformity for all of known history. So we see as good or better performance from east asians as we do from our own. Strangely, Latinos have similar levels of testosterone, slightly lower neoteny, but still lower distributions of IQ, so their excessive criminality is due to only one of the biological factors, while africans to three factors of developmental differences. Given sufficient IQ, neoteny and testosterone can somewhat be ameliorated. But that is not possible without positive eugenics in the short term or negative eugenics in the long. Incarceration is visible but the smallest consequence of forced integration. We have lost so much of our civil society, our commons, our manners, ethics and morals, due to attempts at heterogeneous polities. You have to go to norway today to experience the difference. Finns are ‘different’, so they are an unfair comparison. But the germanic peoples all together from italy to norway were a very special people before forced integration. And this century has been a curse for us for reasons some of us fully understand. The freed slaves precisely the damage the protestants warned against. The catholics were precisely the political damage the protestants warned against. The jews were ten times the damage the protestants warned against. The opening of immigration by the left in 65, as ten times the damage the protestants and catholics warned against. The experiment has failed. Democracy failed. Globalism failed. The belief that people were oppressed rather than incrementally domesticated like all other animals failed. We debate whether we domesticated the dog, or it domesticated itself. We do not face the rather obvious genetic evidence, that we domesticated ourselves. And that we did so by some groups being more domesticated and therefore better organized and cooperative than others.

Like always elites create innovations and the masses follow along. They weren’t tricked into it, anymore than the elites were tricked into inventing things. It’s natural. The idea that there is some kind of intrinsic abuse of workers by the elites assumes “generational agency” on both parts to get to where we are that doesn’t exist….off the top of my head.”—Mike Harvey
