[L]ibertarianism is an intellectual, empirical and analytic movement, and conservatism is a sentimental, moral, and analogistic movement.
The difference in the language of the movements has partly to do with the production cycles that conservatives (human capital and norms) and libertarians (economic production) each emphasize. We use arguments that reflect the temporal bias of our political and reproductive preferences.
Which is why I argue that political exchanges between conservatives(warriors/long term risk abatement), libertarians(investors/medium term production), and progressives (mothers/short-term consumption) are necessary in order to make use of the perceptive and cognitive differences of the division of inter-temporal knowledge and labor. Each of us is temporally spectrum biased (and in the case of progressives: spectrum blind.)
Propertarianism suggests that innovation in anglo classical liberal institutions and law are necessary under total enfranchisement – both as a means of dividing power(negative), AND to make use of all available information (positive).
There is no reason that we cannot create a market for commons just as we create a market for private consumption in goods and services. There is no reason except the existing monopoly government that the socialists put into place as a means of destroying our division of inter-temporal knowledge and labor.
So, that is the central hypothesis I work from: that while we only NEED rule of law, under the one principle of non-imposition of costs, articulated in law as positive property rights, managed by an independent judiciary, decided by a jury of one’s peers – that we also prefer and possibly need, the production of commons.
And that while we are universally governed by rule law, and only law, that we can construct markets for the production of commons. And that the ‘legislature’ then is eliminated from all of politics. No law can be created, only discovered. And that the government need only concern itself with governance of the production and maintenance of commons.
This is, I believe, the next evolution of classical liberalism, and the means of eliminating majority tyranny, and perhaps all tyranny.
Anarchy is not the answer, and we were merely useful idiots for libertine anarchists as we were for neo-conservatives, socialists and communists..
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
Well it means you have something to fight for, instead of something just to fight against.
It means that propertarianism is the first intellectual, analytic, scientific, fully rational means of arguing our ancient, unique, high trust / rapid growth model of civilization.
It also means though, that I tend to see sentimental expression and moralizing as a regressive and damaging means of expressing our preferences. In other words, it might feel good to express your sentiments, but it doesn’t change anything except your emotional state.
So I ask you to try to learn Propertarianism by following me and Eli Harman (Eli is much easier to understand). And I ask you to be patient because it will take one year or more to swallow the “Very, Very, Very, Big Red Pill” that is Propertarianism, one bite at a time.

THE DARK ENLIGHTENMENT?
(from elsewhere)
The Dark Enlightenment is a bit of a misnomer – neo-reaction is more accurate. It refers to a criticism of the Democratic State, Media, and Academy, complex and their use of pseudoscience, rational fallacy and propaganda; and is a rejection of the enlightenment promise of an aristocracy of everyone via democracy .
The term counter-enlightenment already has established meaning in intellectual history. And unfortunately, the alternative title “dark enlightenment , originally conceived as a bit of humor, has stuck.
While the original authors wrote using the form of continental philosophy (moral language), current authors (like myself) are writing in analytic (amoral), legal (amoral) and scientific (amoral) terms.
But in practical terms the purpose of the movement is a criticism of the failure of democracy as a suicide of the west. And a series of solutions for either returning to traditional European governments, or advancing to new alternatives.

REVOLUTION REQUIRES ONLY THAT WE ABANDON ALL HOPE
All hope that an aristocratic civilization is desirable for other than the middle class.
And that the classical liberal experiment, and the enlightenment vision of equality and universal aristocracy, failed.
Free your mind. Abandon the rational fallacy as we abandoned mysticism.
Abandon hope for democracy: it’s suitable only for northern European families with thousands of years of evolution behind them.
Join the scientific revolution.
And take up arms.
And save the aristocratic egalitarian truth-telling, high trust civilization.
We are mankind’s aristocracy.
We cannot let our proles and women deprive mankind of our leadership.

IT IS EASIER THAN EVER TO REVOLT IN A FRAGILE POLITY
(from elsewhere)(archival)
Free Northerner,
Our opponents attacked us with better leadership, better organization, outright lies, obscurant rationalism, pseudoscience, and propaganda: repeated over and over again. Most effectively by achieving by judicial activism and immigration, what could not be achieved by persuasion. And of those who could be persuaded, it was predominantly women who, like they were by Christianity in Rome, most easily fooled. And who, being fooled in large numbers, tilted votes, taught children in schools, provided income and incentives to universities as a new customer base, and staffed marketing departments and advertising agencies.
Contrary to current opinion, it is very easy to do something about it. It is merely costly, not hard. Because contemporary civilization is fragile.
But to succeed in any campaign, we must have a better idea, better articulated, better leaders, better organization, and a means of persecuting lying, deceit, pseudoscience, and propaganda. Because gossip and deceit are cheap and easily made plentiful. That is their tactic. Women evolved to use gossip to rally against alphas.
By contrast, violence and truth are expensive and hard to make plentiful. But that is both our tactic and our objective: truth and the threat of violence for those who gossip and deceive.
We require: A goal. A plan. A moral justification for violence. And the will to pay the high cost of saving our civilization from the age of lies and propaganda made possible by the introduction of women into the politics of our high trust polity under open enfranchisement representative democracy, without houses of government that represent our competing class and gender interests.
Our opponents’ strategy is purely verbal – so they need numbers. We don’t. We need a few good men willing to risk life and liberty. Because the liars have created pervasive fragility that can easily be exploited.
Once we have actionable demands, we can raise the cost of not meeting those demands by taking advantage of that fragility. Whether it be nullification, secession, revolution, or civil war, is merely a measure of the cost that the people are willing to pay to preserve their tyranny of the masses. We need a solution to post-democratic equalitarian government, the construction of immoral laws, judicial activism in order to do something other than just rebel.
Which is what I work on full time.
Thankfully, success is more possible now than it has ever been.
Liberty, truth and rule of law and natural aristocracy in our lifetime, or tyranny, deceit, propaganda, Brazil and castes in the next.
