    —“The influence of the clergy, in an age of superstition, might be usefully employed to assert the rights of mankind; but so intimate is the connection between the throne and the altar, that the banner of the church has very seldom been seen on the side of the people”— Gibbon

    THE INQUISITION: AND WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT OUR WORK

    Um. you don’t understand. When we say we’re creating the

    answer to the Frankfurt School, that means we’re creating it’s opposite. We’re creating the Inquisition. In archaic language this would translate to The Prosecutors and Knights of the Natural Law of Sovereign Men. Although we won’t wear funny hats. Except this time it’s against all Abrahamism both modern and ancient: judaism, christianity, islam, marxism, postmodernism, islamism. So If your words are incompatible with natural law, you will be prosecuted. And we are passionate about our work.

    Agency and Sovereignty > Truth and Natural Law > Markets in Everything: association, cooperation, reproduction, production, production of commons, production of polities, production of group evolutionary strategy, production of agency.

    THE PROSECUTOR BAITS THE PURVEYORS OF FRAUD

    The difference is that I do what I do to bait idiots, so that I can defraud them, just like scientists debunk supernaturalists. And Dyer is one of those frauds who has found a market for fulfilling demand for denial of reality. But once a person has descended into conflating reason and intuition in order to circumvent reason and existence (science) then the strategy of denialism (postmodernism, kantian rationalism, and abraham) has been played. The purpose of denialism, pseudo-rationalism, and experientialism, in all its forms is merely rejection of reason and reality so that the inferior need not negotiate a compromise with the superior. That’s all it is. Nothing more. An elaborate verbal deception for the purpose of leaving no option for compromise, and therefore no options but separatism and violence. You cannot enter into an exchange with a dishonest man. And all debate and discourse is either honest or not. If not honest then the only options are boycott and violence.

    I’m building an inquisition against Abrahamism in all its forms.

    POSTMODERNISM is a mid-to-late 20th century reactionary movement developed to retaliate against and undermine scientific and political modernity by the use of skepticism, irony, ridicule, shaming, or denial, including truth denial, reason denial, science denial, objective reality denial, human nature denial (race, civilization, culture, class, gender, ability, and intelligence denial), objective morality denial, the notion of social progress denial, the notion of evolutionary progress denial, and denial of gender, economic, social, and political compromise through cooperative exchange.

    Instead, postmodernists assert – to varying degrees – that claims to knowledge and truth are products of social, historical or political discourses or interpretations, and are therefore contextual or socially constructed.

    As such, postmodern thought is characterized by uses of denial, epistemological and moral relativism, pluralism, irreverence(ridicule,shaming, and rallying and self-referentiality(circular reasoning).

    In other words postmodernism attempts to destroy all ‘discrimination and difference in value’ in political discourse through the ritualization of lying by pseudoscience, pseudo-rationalism, and fictionalization of history, and fictionalization of communication in the modern world.

    The technique functions in modernity just as Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) fictionalized, reason, truth, and history in the ancient world – through ritualized repetition of falsehood: deception by chanting.

    Origins: The prior generations of marxism had failed in their pseudoscientific iterations, from marx, through lenin, stalin, trotsky, and through the french schools. But by the mid 20th century it was intellectually impossible to advocate marxism because of its universal failure and the catastrophes he had created. The french school switched from economic and pseudoscientific marxism of competition between the classes for economic power, to pseudo rational (fictional) competition between identities for pursue of ‘privilege’ and pure political power.

    In both cases the scientific, rational, and philosophical refutation of marxism and postmodernism lagged the success of the marxists and postmodernists at the production of propaganda – thereby illustrating that the production of lies is faster and cheaper and more effective in the short term than the production of truth.

    The strategy of postmodernists has been to immigrate third world parties, end integration into western civilization (the nuclear family, meritocracy, truth telling, rule of law, and civic responsibility), undermine rule of law via the courts through selective pursuit of marginal cases, accomplish legislation via the courts what cannot be accomplished through the established channels of government, and destroy the virtue of the family and norms, and replace it with the virtue of individualism and identitarianism (abnormal behavior).

    THE OCCULT, CONSPIRACY, FINANCIALIST, FICTIONALISTS

    The occult(propaganda), conspiracy (of common interest), and financialist(parasitism) arguments are all ‘true’ in the sense that these groups follow all these methods of self interest.

    The problem is that the occultists, the conspiracy theorists, the “kill them all” financialists, and fictionalists are either mal-educated, or mentally deficient, or both. And they are heavily indebted to their frame, and addicted to the emotional response of their frames. So they are participants in, and promoters of, the very problem they are complaining about.

    Ayelam is right. The alt right is full of postmodernists. And I sometimes I feel that a handful of us are the lone modernists out here.
