Can we just buy our aircraft from Russia please? THey can’t afford to manufacture them, and we can. We can’t seem to design anything worth flying, and they can.
I mean. Kinda hard to beat the Abrams. But in general, you want Russian Arms and equipment whenever possible. Cheap and abundant, and free of bureaucratic meddling. The military is not a democratic thing. It never should be. And the last people that should be involved in it are congressmen.

THE BEGGAR LIBERTARIANISM, AND FREE RIDER LIBERTINISM ARE DEAD – ARISTOCRACY IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF LIBERTY.
I have come to understand this:
That Aristocracy imposes liberty by arms and law, and libertarianism begs for it like priestly cast, through gossip and shaming.
I consider Aristocratic Liberty logically and evidentially possible, and beggar-liberty logically and evidentially possible.
For this reason I consider the libertarian program an artifact of christianity, argued morally, reasonably, and sometimes rationally, but not empirically or scientifically.
And I consider Aristocratic program an artifact of pagan history, argued practically, logically, and scientifically, under truth, physical law, natural law, the common law, with universal standing, universal applicability (rule of law), and universal WARRANTY: every man a warrior, sheriff, judge, and legislator.
It was the absence of the necessary property of Warranty that let us fail. Without warranty (Taleb’s skin in the game), there is no contract for liberty.
And without that contract, no liberty can be brought into existence.
Whether we beg of it from gods, or we beg of it from men, if we beg, we are beggars. We cannot possess liberty by permission. We can only possess liberty if none can possibly take it from us. And none can possibly take it from us if we are too strong to resist them.
The beggardly-libertarian movement is dead. The Aristocratic Liberty is the only liberty ever possible, and the only that will ever be possible.
Warranty: Everyone fights. No one quits.

Peter,
It’s troubling instead that we are experiencing the deterministic consequences 100 years of innumerate policy and 50 years of pseudoscientific and contra rational policy — and we’re just larger and wealthier, with no regional competitors, so the deterministic outcome took longer to play out.
So if the choice is between your assessment of oddity or my assessment of predictability, the explanatory power of my rather parsimonious suspicion seems like a far better truth candidate. 😉
You weren’t there in 1980 when we planned to try this. I was. It is strange
that immigration was the tipping point rather than state bankruptcy. But this
event will do. 😉
We will have our revolution one way or another. We just need the excuse
on one hand and a viable alternative on the other.
I am nearly done with the latter. 🙂
This year or next. Not long now.
Truth is enough.
Cheers from the land of cryptic
phflosophy.
🙂

http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/02/12/milo-twitter-embarking-on-a-war-against-conservative-points-of-view/
Twitter is an easily replicable technology whose breadth would be better served by freedom of speech. However, should they choose otherwise, and continue to persecute conservative (aristocratic) points of view, they will just make it easier for those of us with knowledge and means (myself included) to create a competing network.
Between Facebook and Twitter and Google we have sufficient combined censorship that they have created demand for an alternative venue in large enough numbers that it can be profitable.
I suppose we should point out that Drudge, Fox and Limbaugh are far more powerful and profitable per dollar of investment.
There is no reason that conservatives will not follow the left into social media just as we have in other media.
We are very close to civil war in america. The sooner and the bloodier the better.

THE LIBERTARIAN LIE: AN EXCUSE FOR FREE RIDING
The whole libertarian lie that man was oppressed rather than painfully and expensively genetically, culturally, socially, and economically pacified is merely an attempt to suggest we not pay for the very expensive commons needed to perform that pacification. Man is parasitic whether he engages in violence, theft, or free riding – anything other than voluntary exchange.
You can separate aristocracy from peasantry by this single question: was man oppressed (victim), or was man domesticated (barbarian)?

YES LIBERTINISM AND ANCAPISM ARE DEAD – BECAUSE UNIVERSALISM IS DEAD.
Libertinism and Ancapism ( a form of universalism) it’s done as a potential mainstream movement.
That part of classical liberalism that sought equality for all is dead also.
The intellectual capital (myself included) is on the right ( Nationalism/tribalism/culturism ).
I suspect that it Universalism in all its instances is now dead forever.
Natural Law, Humanism, and Transcendence may persist (I hope).
But universalism is dead because it creates malincentives and perverse incentives that cause its own demise.
There are no universal goods. The age of belief is done. From hiere on out it’s all empirical. And empirically speaking, we need different conditions to mature different groups.
