    Regarding 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.

  • Why France Matters?

    October 14th, 2018 8:42 AM WHY FRANCE MATTERS? (Smart Selfishness) [A]n insignificant power unworthy of security council participation and constantly hostile to western interests. But, within europe: (a) she can grow her own food, and a diversity of it. she concentrated population in urban areas to preserve her food capacity. (b) investment in nuclear power makes her relatively energy independent (c) Nuclear weapons makes her relatively invulnerable. (d) Preservation of central african colonial presence means she maintains a small but trained military. (e) Germany carries the entire risk of the european effort (not france) by using the Mark as the Euro, and having germany dependent upon (american-defended) global trade. (f) France is responsible for the majority of leftist thought leadership, because she (like the russians) believes her revolution (as the russians their fight against germany) is the founding mythos (rather than the french nation (people) are the founding mythos. And france was and remains the most feminine country in europe in use of language, grammar, argument, political order, social order, and international negotiation technique. (g) France is the gateway for the Islamization and Semitization of europe, because she is dependent upon african and islamic wealth to preserve her economy. When the crisis comes France can defeat germany for control of european course. This means that eastern europe and russia will be the strong powers in europe after the next ‘great economic and political conflict that will occur due to demographics within the next twenty years.

  • —“Who Is a Conservative?”—

    October 14th, 2018 3:16 PM —“WHO IS A CONSERVATIVE?”— (From Marginal Revolution) Avoiding the marxist-postmodern love of verbal sophistry: CONSERVATISM CONSISTS IN: – Empiricism as a defense against hubris. – Meritocracy as a defense against hubris. – Private Property as a defense against hubris. – Markets as a defense against hubris. – The common (natural) law of tort as a defense against hubris – The Jury-of-requisite-scale as a defense against hubris. – Late Marriage as a defense against hubris. – Intergenerational lending as a defense against hubris – Taking no action for which one cannot perform restitution(Reversal) as a defense against hubris. – Competition between the Scientific, Legal, Philosophical, and Theological as a defense against hubris. – Small Nation States as a defense against hubris. – Militias as a Defense against Hubris. (That should be enough to get the point across.) Not that Dunning-Kruger’s universal law, or the French Revolution, or all of continental philosophy, or the pseudosciences of Marx, Boas, Freud, Cantor, Adorno; or the innumeracy of the general theory’s change of economics from measurement by balance sheet to measurement by income statement; or the sophisms of Derrida through Rorty and Rawls …. none need explaining to a Conservative. 😉
