    TRUMP WON THE POPULAR VOTE, JUST NOT THE CALIFORNIA POPULAR VOTE.

    —“Clinton’s 2.3-million-popular-vote plurality over Trump depends on the votes in a single state: California. Clinton has more than a 4-million-vote plurality over Trump there. In the other 49 states plus the District of Columbia, Trump actually has a 1.7-million-popular-vote plurality over Clinton.”— James E. Campbell

    IN OTHER WORDS, THE ELECTORAL VOTE SYSTEM DID ITS JOB OF PREVENTING ONE RADICAL STATE FROM OPPRESSING THE REST.

    James E. Campbell is a UB Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University at Buffalo, SUNY, and is the author of “Polarized: Making Sense of a Divided America”.

    Most people who tell me that they have some great political strategy have neither.

    There is no cunning in politics. It’s just war by lower cost means.

    I doubt that the progressive program to infantilize males grasps that they just make it easier for those of us who weren’t, to conquer them. And they have no one to call upon to help them. lol

  • CONSERVATIVES, LIBERTARIANS, ANCAPS, NRX, ALT-RIGHT, … JUST ASK QUESTIONS. OK?

    CONSERVATIVES, LIBERTARIANS, ANCAPS, NRX, ALT-RIGHT, … JUST ASK QUESTIONS. OK?

    I know. I know. Some of you are overconfident evangelicals for your cause. But please, save us both the tedium and ask questions if you don’t understand what I (we) talk about. Please don’t think you’re going to put together a witty argument. A cunning refutation. A creative deceit. It won’t happen. It just won’t. I’ve been working on this problem for a very long time now. And you just are wasting both our time.

    There is a reason everyone seems to progress from classical liberal or conservative, to libertarian, to ancap, to nrx, to alt-right to propertarianism.

    So on your journey, your fellow travelers ask that you impose the lowest cost upon us. Just ask questions. “We argue this, you argue that, why do you think you’re right?” is a really good way of asking questions.

    Hoppe is no dummy. Rothbard was no dummy. Mises was no dummy. Hayek and Popper were not dummies. If some of these people were fooled by some of the rhetoric, you shouldn’t feel bad for being fooled by it either.

    We didn’t have a sufficient understanding of what we call the scientific method until very recently. We didn’t have an undrestanding of computability until very recently. We didn’t have an understanding of truth until recently. So these people were prisoners of their eras. We are the beneficiaries of an additional generation or two.

    Propertarianism is a profoundly thorough system of philosophy(decidability) as far as the negative(decidability) is concerned – I rely on literature for the positive(ideation and inspiration). I don’t do all that much inspiration. I just do true and false.

    If you want liberty in fact, rather than some semblance of liberty by permission there is only one way to create it: Sovereignty+Heroism -> Natural Law -> Markets In Everything => Conditions of Sovereignty, Liberty, Freedom and Subsidy.

    That’s how it is. Either you can create a polity of self sustaining non-parasitic peoples in a territory that can serve as a market, and one that other peoples will tolerate, or you won’t. You can’t do it by low trust ethics. it’s not complicated.

    —“A pattern on the left emerges and repeats itself, that manifests as idealism and ends in nihilism, that starts with a rent-seeking reproductive strategy.

    It’s success depends on cooperating with productive classes, but it tends to get full enough of itself to think it can take the helm, before running aground. It has no realistic positive ethic, and now and again refuses to acknowledge natural law. When the left tries to reconcile it’s failure, all it can muster is intellectual nihilism and sometimes literal suicide.

    Leftists in America needed labor unions, the place where it’s idealism accomplished something mutually beneficial. It betrayed those union constituents because it got full of its own global cosmopolitan rhetoric. Like the Russians inciting class guilt to incite hate for the kulaks when the proletariat didn’t bring itself round to revolution. Luckily instead of creating famine, this time it created a Trump presidency.”—Steve Lacasse

    School, Academy, State, Business, and Media give people false hopes, encourage them to accumulate debt, and then enslave and reduce them to suffering if they were entrapped by the bait.

    Look at all these optimistic young people on the road to nowhere.

    The alt-right consider being called Nazis a badge of honor.

    1) You cannot shame them. If you resort to rallying and shaming they consider you to have demonstrated their point: for the ‘new right’ world view, the left speaks nothing but error, bias, pseudoscience and lies and rallies and shames, to cover error, bias, pseudoscience and lies, in order to obtain by force of government that which cannot be obtained by voluntary cooperation.

    2) They counter rallying and shaming with ridicule. (Green frogs, Memes, Trolling, etc). And in some cases they have adopted the left’s exploitation of and use of falsehoods.

    3) They are adopting the digital age’s equivalent of the left’s community organizing. And it is working.

    4) So, just as the islamic fundamentalists have adopted the techniques of the Marxists, the new right has adopted the techniques of the Marxists. In other words, they are seeking to use the techniques invented by the left to create a revolution where the left failed, and instead, achieved through incrementalism in law, incrementalism in education, and incrementalism in immigration.

    My expectation is that they will continue this cycle, since the status quo always presents an easy target of criticism.
