    “THE LEFT JUMPED THE RECIPROCITY SHARK” So, because the Kavanaugh event was the last straw, conservatives have finally moved to just outright laughing at liberals as if they’re children – which eliminates their moral pretense. We’re just laughing at them.

  • NPC’s in The Proletariat Are Scripted by The Commentariat

    October 14th, 2018 2:27 PM THE NPC’s, PROLETARIAT, AND COMMENTARIAT [T]he NPC’s in the PROLETARIAT are SCRIPTED by the COMMENTARIAT, who UNDERMINE Truth, Duty, Reciprocity, Rule of Law, and Markets in Everything, through disapproval, shaming, gossiping, rallying, and reputation destruction as a substitute for argument. Why? Because they cannot speak the truth: that equality and proportionality and discretionary rule can only exist under a kleptocracy of dishonesty that steals from the productive reproductive and meritocratic peoples.

And this attempt to steal a continent that we conquered, by means of conquest by immigration is just not going to happen. THE WEST: “Agency, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Rule of Law, Truth, Duty, and Markets in Everything: association, cooperation, reproduction, production, commons, polities, and war.”

  • Putin flinched over Ukraine

    October 15th, 2018 4:33 PM

    [R]egarding Russia, my point is not what you think. It’s that Putin flinched over Ukraine and ruined all he had put in play. Had he worked harder at his own anti-corruption, ‘fried’ the oligarchs in Ukraine instead of the military and political structure, and rescued the banks, the Russian sphere would be closer to 200M. Not enough to be a world power, but enough to balance France and Germany. Putin blew his window, and Russian demographics did the rest. And we need a strong Russia. And for a conservative, that was a tragedy.
