  • The Great Failure of the 20th

    —“Any ‘new right’ must recognize ancient western liberal tradition of ‘noble individualism’ & liberal education, etc. to avoid throwing it out with the bathwater of ‘egalitarian individualism’, which diverted the liberal idea to modern hedonic socialist ends.”— @demontage2000

    [Y]es, but those are not terms that can be institutionally enforced. Use instead:

    1. Legal: Sovereignty and Reciprocity; Juridical Defense and Jury; Truth before face, Duty before self
    2. Political: Markets before authority.
    3. Aesthetic: Heroism, Excellence, Transcendence

    [pullquote] This inflection and the failure to continue eugenics will be seen in history like the failure of the greeks to bring about the industrial revolution.[/pullquote]

    That the foundation. There is still more. The right loves the feeling of moral righteousness as much as the left loves outrage. But that is why conservative thinkers failed. We must like the founders, but better than they, create institutions and processes that provide shared incentives, not that require shared belief. The left invented desirable denial, sophism and pseudoscience. The postwar right doubled down on moralizing, b/c they were as afraid of admitting western civ is eugenic as the left was of eugenics. It invalidated democracy as national virtue narrative, in addition to the church. This inflection and the failure to continue eugenics will be seen in history like the failure of the greeks to bring about the industrial revolution. It is the basis for all problems of humanity in the post agrarian era. Vast numbers of people and cultures are detrimental to man.

    They don’t want it to be sound. The left means infantile, and they want peer infants. That is the reason for postmodern infantilism of our people by the education system.

    Drag the impeachment out. Let these people continue to flail. It’s why Hillary is making exploratory moves.

    West and east used tests successfully to filter out corruption for positions in government. Same for military, then same for academy. Wealth is available across the bell curve, with complexity (IQ) determining your market. You need conscientiousness to accumulate that wealth.

    @clairlemon I don’t want to be the front man on this subject but he’s not trying to take down psychology, he’s trying to justify arab immigration to the west, and satisfy the chip on his shoulder as a christian arab. His empirical work was a dead end, and he can’t tolerate the truth: Trust.

    I don’t make mistakes. I have y’all to compensate for. 😉

    This is the most important intellectual movement since Marx sought out to undermine Darwin. Look in the mirror and decide if submission to the enemy or fighting for the civilization that dragged mankind out of suffering.

    @SufficientlyWh1 @StefanMolyneux We are trying to restore TRUTH BEFORE FACE, Sovereignty Reciprocity, Jury, and Markets in all aspects of life. The entire western edifice and its success in ancient and modern worlds, depends on those few institutions. And you’re sitting here voluntarily engaging resistance.

    TRUTH BEFORE FACE

    (sensitive but true topic warning)

    (this is advanced political theory, read at your own risk)

    Postmodernism(Political Correctness, Denial of Cultural Racial and Class Differences) and Feminism(Denial of Gender Differences) are attempts to undermine the uniqueness of western civilization’s MALES. Males who speak Truth before Face, Truth Regardless of Status, Truth Regardless of offense; Truth regardless of the Competence Hierarchy, Truth regardless of the Dominance Hierarchy.

    The entirety of our way of life, Rule of Law, Sovereignty, Reciprocity and Jury and the reason, science, and technology that arose from it, are dependent upon the ond thing western men do that no other people do: and that is to report and report alone by speaking martial, empirical, testimonial, truth before face – anyone’s face – regardless of cost to self or others. This is the highest cost an individual can pay for his civilization. And institutionalizing it has only been done once: at the origins of western civilization, thousands of years ago.

    Why the change: women cannot bear it, that is why they are easy victims and practitioners of feminism and postmodernism. Women fight one another by undermining with words. So among women, because they have had so little time in the public sphere, truth before face has not been institutionalized. And just as women were sold christianity in the ancient world, they have been sold postmodernism and feminism in the modern world. And because they (a) spend 80% of the income (b) spend the majority of money (on unscientific non-STEM courses) in university, (c) consume 80% of tax revenues, (d) white women are the only group that defects against their males, and vote against truth before face, against meritocracy, and against defense of the commons from consumption. They have the entire Cathedral Complex (State, Academy, Media, Finance) working to cater to their denial, and doing so by degradation of men, truth before face, rule of law, and the entire western edifice that has made women’s freedom from labor and servitude possible.

    We spent millenia outlawing male anti-social behavior, but we have ceased outlawing female anti-social behavior, and face before truth, denial, and undermining are anti-social behaviors that must, like violence, be equally suppressed.

    That’s what our Natural Law did, and that’s what it must do again.

    It’s a test of Reciprocity: If men may not undermine by violence and force, women may not undermine by denial, gossiping, rallying, shaming, psychologizing, moralizing, ridiculing, and will limit themselves to truthful reciprocal speech, not disapproval and undermining as a substitute for truthful speech. If not then men will return the favor with their method of undermining, and then both genders lose.

    EVERY MAN A COMMON MAN

    By: Bill Joslin, via Brandon Hayes (CD: core)

    A model for this could be described as concentric rings of influence, centering on the individual and radiating out into the commons based on which domain one acts as judge-of-last-resort.

    Am I judge-of-last-resort for my mind (clarity of intention)

    Am I judge-of-last-resort for my body (voluntary intentional action)

    Am I judge-of-last-resort for my household (do I direct my domestic life)

    Am I judge-of-last-resort for my livelihood (do I direct my means of survival)

    Am I judge-of-last-resort which secures (ensures) my property-en-toto

    Am I judge-of-last-resort in the intergenerational shared commons (do I direct my place in history)

    For each of those questions, if there is another person to which you are beholden then the answer is no.

    Everyman a king of his household

    Everyman a rifleman

    Everyman a sheriff

    Everyman a judge

    ….in opportunity only, secured by demonstrations of ability.

    Cult of non-submission – cultivation of autonomy
