WHAT QUALIFIES YOU TO DISAGREE?

—“It baffles the mind that anyone listens to you [Molyneux] as an authority on anything. I wouldn’t trust you know how to wipe your own a**.”—@Berderking

Conversely,what qualifies you to disagree? One can never believe an authority, unless you’re a fool. One can falsify or not, or propose a more parsimonious argument or not. One can falsify a preference or not by demonstrating involuntary transfer of costs either direction or not.

So aside from (a) demonstrating you’re a fool by demand for an authority, (b) by doing so admitting you’re incompetent to judge, (c) feigning falsehood when you’re disapproving, and (d) making a statement contrary to the empirical evidence of his popularity – what have you got?

DOOLITTLE’S “SCAM” OR DOOLITTLE’S PLAN?

—“A handful of observant readers of your page might notice the whole scam that you have going here at this point:
You’re too much of a pussy even though you’re so full of ideology… Too much of a pussy to do the thing that you want to do so you get young impressionable men to listen to your words. They’ve got a little bit more piss and vinegar in them so they’ll actually go do the hard work for you without spending too much energy thinking about it. I don’t expect you to be so intellectually honest as to tell them all that’s what’s actually happening here right?”— Casey King, Jacksonville Florida.

—“Has that not been the underlying strategy for war since the dawn of civilization?”—John Dabb

Of course it is the underlying strategy for war since the dawn of civilization, and the dawn of man. He [Casey King] is just (like a woman) using GSRRM – in this case (a) a straw man, and (b) moralizing, and (c) shaming – because he doesn’t have an argument. Because dim people, lacking ability, experience, knowledge, and agency can only demonstrate disapproval and shaming and rallying – they have no other ability to work with.

The Straw Man
(a) You should run into public and so something dramatic, symbolic, and emotional (ie: be a woman).
(b) otherwise you are immoral (irreciprocal, dishonest)
(c) because, you are asking other men to run into the public and do something symbolic, and emotional (ie: be women).

Reality, Repeated Daily
(a) Doolittle’s Message is:
… Never act until we all act
(b) And
… Act when we have;
… … – a moral license (check)
… … – a set of actionable demands (check)
… … – a plan of transition (check)
… … – a means of winning by insurrection (check)
… When
… … – we can rally sufficient starting numbers (~.1M-1M) (Check)
… … – the overton window is over the conservative mean. (Almost)
… Where
… … – Our demands solve the problems of the era (check)
… … – it’s immoral to fail to accept them (check)
… … – giving us moral license for war to restore the constitution (check)
… Therefore
… … – We can negotiate and settle before violence.
… … – Or, We can escalate to force negotiation
… … – Or, We can escalate to force submission
… … – Or, We can escalate into decimation.
… Because
… … – we are the largest army in the world by orders of magnitude.
