  • Reduce Resistance. We Don’t Need Numbers

    Feb 3, 2020, 9:11 AM

    —“Talking to the Left is a waste of time. Talking to grassroots civnats/normiecons often is worth it though.”— John Mark —“I honestly don’t think civnats are much better in most respects.”—Predmetsky Rosenborg 😉

    CD: Our goal is not to make the majority agree, it is to get enough of us of like mind to act if we need to, that the civnats and normiecons know what we’re trying to accomplish. Awareness reduces resistance. Large armies are hard to move and feed. Light, fast, infantry.

    Feb 3, 2020, 10:05 AM (discuss incentives that produce conspiracies of common interest – and managed decline/equilibrium)(real conspiracy is ‘all’ rather than each nation competing an the market driving all upward) TRILATERAL COMMISSION WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM – DAVOS BILDERBERG GROUP CONFERNECE MOUNT PELERIN SOCIETY WORLD BANK G7, WTO – World Trade Organization, IMF – International Monetary Fund, THE UNITED NATIONS “Davos Man” “Davos Man” is a neologism referring to the global elite of wealthy (predominantly) men, whose members view themselves as completely “international”. According to political scientist Samuel P. Huntington, who is credited with inventing the phrase “Davos Man”,[88] they are people who “have little need for national loyalty, view national boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing, and see national governments as residues from the past whose only useful function is to facilitate the élite’s global operations”. In his 2004 article “Dead Souls: The Denationalization of the American Elite”, Huntington argues that this international perspective is a minority elitist position not shared by the nationalist majority of the people.[89] Davos men supposedly see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth. John Fonte of the Hudson Institute has suggested that the transnational ideology of Davos Man represents a major challenge to Francis Fukuyama’s assertion that liberal democracy represents the fulfillment of The End of History and the Last Man. Hernando de Soto Polar said that although internationally connected, each country’s elite lives in a bell jar in the sense of being out of touch with its own populace. Their isolation fosters a tendency to be oblivious to the fate of their fellow citizens. Lawrence Summers refers to this concept as the “stateless elites”, tied more to the success of the global economy than to any nation, and views it as eroding support for continuing globalization

    Solutions produce leaders, leaders produce followers, followers produce wins. Majoritarianism is never useful. It just increases the logistical problem.

  • Unite the Libertarian, Conservative, and Religious

    —“I can only unite the libertarian, conservative, and religious if I restore responsibility of the militia of every able bodied man to bear the cost of the organized use of violence to enforce our demand for sovereignty and reciprocity, truth and duty, excellence and beauty, jury and law, family and kin, commons and capitalization as the central objects of social organization and political policy. To do that we require an intellectual vanguard. The classical libertarians have always been our intellectual wing, the conservatives decidedly anti-intellectual, and the religious conservatives hostile to the intellectual. I have to deprive the libertarian intellectual class of false promise of freedom from the cost of organized violence in a universal militia of kin, and to together we must bear the cost of depriving the left of freedom from the cost of hyper-consumption and dysgenic reproduction and the hedonism of the individual’s maximization of consumption as the central object of policy and social organization. The left is cancerous growth of man on both this planet, mankind, man’s future, and the possibility of the transcendence of man into the gods we might yet be.”— Curt Doolittle (repost)
