  • —“What is the central dogma of the postmodern left?”-

    THE POSTMODERN CANON (Really, this is the answer).

    1. All that matters in governance is power, and as such all that matters is getting power, and therefore groups must do whatever possible to obtain power by any means.

    2. Truth, reason, science, reciprocity, value, are therefore just one means of obtaining power and therefore irrelevant in the pursuit of power, and as such neither truth, nor reason, nor value nor results of the sciences, nor the requirement for reciprocity necessarily serve the interests of obtaining power or not – and therefore intellectual honestly and consistency is both unnecessary and an impediment to obtaining power.

    3. The communist, scientific socialist, democratic socialist, and cultural marxist movements having failed in the competition for power given the successes of science, private property, markets, and consumer capitalism, the only means of obtaining power by which to impose a managed economy and equality of outcome, is to change the political value system from economic outcome to social status outcome (‘oppression’).

    4. Changing from material improvement and relative material equality to social status equality is to pursue the intuitively desirable but the physically impossible. (just as communism and socialism and life after death were impossible)

    5. The optimum means of obtaining power is to fragment the polity into identities, and therefore increase the demand for authoritarian solutions that replace existing market models.

  • The Grand Strategy of The Iran Move

    As German defense minister said “Iran is on our doorstep so…” meaning that they are afraid because europe is weak. and so they will cave. Meanwhile Trump is trying to force Europeans to redirect their capital to the military which would neutralize their trade advantage with the USA. These things are quite simple as a business person, incomprehensible as a moralist, and inconceivable as an ideologist/theologist. —- Cliffsnotes Version: by Steven Kolpek – USA interventionism allowed allies to reduce their military spending – allies with reduced military spending were able to use funds to leverage trade over US – US begins to pull out from important areas in middle east – allies forced to spend more in military – ally trade leverage reduced due to forced redirection of funds – MAGA

  • Trump Is Doing What He Promised. He’s an Entrepreneur. Govt Is Just an Obstacle to His Promises to The People.

    Trump isn’t a neocon (expansionist) he’s trying to withdraw into safety, and focus the economy on expansion rather than postwar pacification. That means settling all open disputes (which now include Russia – but the press hasn’t caught onto Russian reduction of military spending and redirection to diversifying the economy), ending Korean conflict and bringing those troops home, and in the middle east, preventing a near monopoly of oil production over there, consequential development of a bourse, and new petro-currency, and the military buildup such an event would permit, and the creation of a wealthy military empire – and instead, he’s doing the obvious that’s been recommended by the generals which is to eliminate any islamic state’s expansionism, preserve egypt, the kingdoms, in the south, israel in the center, and the existing high-violence states in the north. (syria, iraq, iran, pakistan). The assumption at present is that Turkey and Iran will form power centers, and that Turkey will return to the islamic civilization and leave the european civilization and thereby cease being a ‘torn country’. The Palestinians have institutionalized rebellion so everyone is waiting them out. And they’re done for the simple reason that israel will eventually fail demographically about the same time that Palestinians are integrated in the region. So the only remaining problem in this plan is replacing the iranian regime and eliminating it’s nuclear (if not military capacity) and as far as I know, given rates of protest, and the public’s intolerance for more economic suffering due to military expansionism, that’s going to happen. TRUMP IS DOING WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO IN HIS CAMPAIGN. The only thing he isn’t is whatever he can’t because it’s blocked by congress.

  • Earning Sufferage

    I wonder…. let’s say military service of six years, ownership of real property, and a wife are required for male suffrage, and three children, a husband, and real property are required for female suffrage. With suffrage comes a substantial discount in fees (taxation), and a substantial increase in insurance (retirement insurance), and that all such insurance accounts are in the singapore model as retirement savings accounts. There is no community property. Children are women’s property until onset of puberty, then males are men’s property until maturity. A family (corporation) insures society against the behavior of their offspring until they also have families. Schools are only until working age (12/puberty), and after that apprenticeships combined with related classes, for two hours a day.
    This basically institutionalizes the late medieval upper middle class model. What happens?

  • The Demand for A Monopoly on Violence

    —“Even a truth by testimony will not defend against a falsehood by sophistry for the emotional and mentally ill equipped. Thus the necessity for the monopoly on violence.”—Brandon Smith

  • Never Allow Elites to Make the Same Mistake Twice

    —“Betrayal can never be forgiven. We can breed new elites. It’ll take time. But even in the meantime we’ll be stronger without treacherous elites than with them. And even with them we’re very nearly strong enough. Some mistakes, you don’t get to make twice.”— Ely Harman
