Right wing – ensure productivity outpaces reproductivity, ensuring prosperity (demand for capitalization). (Male)
Left wing – ensure reproductivity outpaces productivity, ensuring poverty. (demand for redistribution). (Female)
Apr 21, 2020, 7:40 AM The problem is getting the rest of the world into middle class manners, ethics, morals, and values. We can only do that if the self, the family, and the commons are equally valued and defended regardless of class. The minute you give up on your other classes you give up on the commons. The same is true for heterogeneity. Create conflict between groups and we give up on the commons, and devolve to self and family.
—“There are more books published in Spanish in any one year than there have been in the entire history of Arab publishing.”—
Feminine, present, experiential civilization. There are very few arab intellectuals. Those few, say some version of the same thing “we live in our emotions not in our reason, we can read but we are still illiterate, we have freedom but no discipline.” This is the problem with ritual-cultures. it’s extremely successful at solving the problem of social insecurity (mindfulness). It only solves part of the problem and amplifies the rest by making agency impossible. Same for fundamentalism in christianity: it makes wonderful citizens and families – perhaps the best in the world – and prepares people for commercial society – but at the cost of needing a parental martial empirical aristocracy to defend, rule, and govern them. One of the reasons the french lost to the english was the combination of their effeminacy and excessive faith – the same excessive effeminacy and faith that they demonstrate today. (although you have to read letters from the period prior to agincourt to see how faith-insane they were.) The hindus remain caste-and-family, on the effeminate side, and socially lazy and irresponsible – so they are wonderful people lacking the hostility of the muslims, but can’t end familial corruption endemic in the society, nor do they have the military like the west and china to enforce policy so that a non-corrupt bureaucracy can evolve. I don’t complain about the chinese and koreans other than their women are as spoiled and hyper-consumptive and civilization destroying as western women and their males are further gone than western men because they were further gone in the first place. The upper middle and lower upper classes around the world are all the same. This is because we are not lacking in competitive ability, or dependent upon equally ignorant or uncompetitive peers for information and opinion. Without the militia men WILL NOT OWN THE COMMONS. From there, everything falls apart.

health care, elder care, maintenance workers, take back to less ‘sanitary’ communities where it spreads. (rather obvious in the data).
Lesson? Restore family care of the elderly. Minimize hospital and doctors visits. Restore ‘house calls’.
No more ‘cheap’ health care labor.

Apr 21, 2020, 8:13 PM Ok. I can feel ‘a disturbance in the force’ so to speak. What shift is it that I feel going on in the public? Exhaustion with the virus event? What’s going on? -RESPONSES-
—“Threefold exhaustion most people couldn’t keep up with one facet. The medical face of the virus itself, the economic face of job security, and the conspiratorial face of the sinister mysteries”—Micah Pezdirtz
That’s it. Let me see if I can elaborate: 1 – The people are addicted to the gated institutional narratives like cows being fed daily lots of hay and corn. They can’t step on the paddle and get their dose of the illusion of running with the herd. 2 – With multiple competing narratives, and exhaustion from all of them, they have lost incentive to do anything other than look elsewhere. 3 – With time at home and limited hyper-consumption they have time for direct experience and self reflection, and as a consequence they are ‘waking up’ to being in the MOUSE UTOPIA. Because that’s what’s been done to them. –BY JOHN MARK– By John Mark Yes.
Raw fear/negative emotion opens the door for people to learn/change their minds in a way they will never do outside such a situation. Case in point: 80% of Americans now view immigration as a threat. (That was not the case, not even close, a few months ago.)
The virtue-signal economy collapsed overnight. The entire signaling value of “I love nonwhites, foreigners & immigrants” collapsed completely. China is a crappy place, interactions with & reliance on 3rd world low-trust shitholes have terrible consequences. Even MSM is writing articles on forcing China to pay reparations. The virtue-signalers now have no other way to signal other than to wear masks and report their neighbors for going outside. Which is way more annoying and obviously tyrannical than saying you love immigrants. The virtue-signalers are lost.
Do not underestimate the importance of this point. The human accounting system is status and cheap virtue-signaling is the easiest way to raise one’s self-sense of status, and one’s status in the eyes of other shallow ignoramuses, who far outnumber truth-speakers (cuz of ’65 immigration act & 19th amendment). These people have had their entire status economy collapse. Think of how we feel – “We’ve been so right all along and everyone is having to kinda admit it, and all sorts of things we wanted for decades are happening!” – but in reverse…”Everything I’ve ever said/signaled I believe & support is falling apart”. And imagine being a low-agency normie or lefty, not accustomed to self-reflection or truth-seeking, possibly never having considered changing your mind on anything important, experiencing this. They feel lost. No ability to just follow the herd headlong, thoughtlessly, anymore. Like one of us right wing family men losing our wife & kids. No compass. Now add the real economy collapsing.
As Micah & Curt pointed out, far less distraction. No sportsball. Celebrities seen as out of touch, provoking anger & jealousy quarantined in their expansive mansions with pool etc while millions are stuck in apartments, homes, crowded with kids, etc.
People spending way more time with spouse, kids, homeschooling, etc. Along with the whole situation highlighting “what’s really important”.
All this is results in MASSIVE COGNITIVE DISSONANCE. And feeling LOST. A result that then follows for many, is a significant amount of mind-changing and attitude/priority-shifting for NPCs/normies most of whom have never gone through it before. (Most of us on the Smart Right have gone thru it multiple times in our lives, of our own volition, as we learn.) I mean, the data shows it. Compare attitudes on immigration before and after. Huge shift. I’m not saying the lefties are all gonna start voting right wing now. But they are reeling. The normies are shifting more right/nationalist out of sheer brick wall of reality slamming the world. Institutional trust is lower than ever (in modern America). Weimar was emerging anyway, now virus (regardless of its actual seriousness as a disease, the govt reaction was very severe, making it a very serious situation). Our leadership’s handling once again ludicrously bad & out of touch & corrupt – “trillions for bankers, $1200 for you!” along with congress shoving pork into it etc. Maddening to normies who normally don’t care much or pay attention. Opportunity. Been slammed at work having to work a ton of extra hrs, but hopefully I can get a video out on it soon.

Apr 22, 2020, 2:15 PM There are good people in every group. There are bad people in every group. What matters is whether the good or the bad people in every group advance their, and their group’s interest to integrate into our natural law – or whether they resist integration in to our Natural law; or use resistance movements to seek bribes to conform to our natural law; or seek parasitism by taking advantage of our vulnerability – our tolerance – under our natural law. Our Natural Law is empirical and it tells us we aren’t intolerant enough. If it’s interpersonal then exhaust tolerance (christianity). If it’s political then zero tolerance (Doolittle). It’s not a difficult disambiguation, demarcation, distinction, difference. 😉 Be intolerant. Otherwise you’re committing fraud by not paying to cost of maintaining the commons, under pretense your convenience is a conviction. It’s not. It’s fraud. Be intolerant.

Apr 22, 2020, 4:23 PM Her: “….” (I don’t want to bear and raise kids – I want to hyper-consume, socialize and virtue signal) Him” “….” (I don’t want to wage slave and pay taxes – I want to raid, r-pe and pillage) The only difference is one requires the state and one the absence of it. State, Government, Judiciary, Market, Marriage, Family are the compromise between the genders. These compromises are the equilibrium under which we all get the best we can get even if some or many of us could get better at the expense of others. There is a reason all civil wars begin with an excess of unmarried males. Incentives.
