Fascinating.
Because china is an empire that is hard to keep from revolution, the government acts as did the British government when the western militia were in place in britain.
A government should fear its people.

WHY SOUTH AMERICANS HAVE A BETTER GRASP OF LIBERTY
(quotable)
“South Americans create more or better libertarians is because we like the state the least, since we know it best, because we’ve been disappointed most.” – Helio Beltrāo.

OVERWHELM THE CREDIT SYSTEM – CONSERVATIVE STRATEGY
The point is, that the system doesn’t work. 🙂

LIBERTARIANS “MUGGED BY REALITY?”
“The Dark Enlightenment is libertarians mugged by reality, a libertarian who realizes that the eighteenth century was right about women, and Bull Conner right about blacks..” –
LOL.. Awfully crude and working class view of the Dark Enlightenment. Certainly not my view.
D.E. :
AGAINST big government, and the equalitarianism, egalitarianism and diversity that big governments require.
FOR elitism, exceptionalism, excellence, meritocracy, proportionality and homogeneity that small states facilitate.
ACCEPTANCE of tribalism, genetic variation, cultural incommensurability and the need for inequality, the need for integration, and hard borders.
ACTIVISTS AGAINST: Totalitarian Humanism, Postmodernist, Feminism, Marxism, and any attempt to reverse the innovation that was private property and the nuclear family, organized into small states of extended families.

LIBERTARIAN TERMINOLOGY QUESTION
(Freedom vs Liberty)
Is it just my own selection bias in action, or has the term FREEDOM been sufficiently appropriated as to mean “Positive Freedom and liberty” and LIBERTY such that it currently means “Negative Freedom and liberty”?
It’s too bad we LIBERTARIANS don’t have such energetic literary activists who can put together a campaign to ‘reconstruct’ the meanings of liberty and freedom the way the marxists have, and by doing so appropriated our terminology: via editing, shaming and critique.
LIBERTY IS DETERMINED BY
1) The available means of production.
2) The impact of the means of production on reproduction (family)
3) The allocation of property rights between individual, family and commons to suit production and reproduction.
4) The Freedoms and Duties we grant each other according to those rights, and the flexibility of altering those relations in response to changes in the means of production.
5) The degree of rent-seeking (corruption) by leaders of the hierarchy or network of organizations that resolve conflicts and facilitate investments (ownership or government).
6) The degree of contribution by individuals willingly paid to the extended family (commons) in exchange for status which increases their opportunities for mating, experience, and opportunity.
THE STATUS ECONOMY – THE OTHER INVOLUNTARY APPROPRIATION
(Government members obtain status as well as compensation and earners do not obtain status OR compensation. The need is to create status signals such that the earners are willing to contribute to the commons of their extended family. If instead, high tax payers were publicly identified and given political voice, if not political vote, then the world would be a very different place. But politicians fear this fact. And to some degree, the corrupt on both sizes are protected by their anonymity. Imagine a state of the union meeting where the top 500 taxpayers instead of 500 elected politicians, were required to give their opinions on the state of the union. )

WSJ NBC POLL.
“A majority of Americans don’t identify with **either** party.”
Never been a chance like this. But the progressive wing of libertarians would screw it up anyway.
Its time.

LIBERALS GET CHEAP STATUS BY GIVING AWAY WHAT ISN’T THEIRS
“…showcasing liberal values is a form of conspicuous consumption….”
Expensive drug addiction problem that they have. It turns out those endorphins are really expensive for EVERYONE ELSE.
You ever watch some gushing women come to near tears at the thought of giving blood? That’s drug addiction. Just like stress addiction. Anger addiction, or thrill addiction.
