  • When Is External Aggression Warranted?

    [W]AR

    External aggression is warranted when a lower trust polity causes harm to a higher trust polity, and the result of aggression will be an increase in the level of non-parasitism. In other words, it tis always moral and warranted to export high trust against the will of lower trust peoples. The problem is, it can almost never be done without colonizing and ruling them, and bearing the expense of doing it. Most often it is cheaper and easier to punish them severely so that you raise the cost of their low trust behavior until they adopt high trust out of practical convenience.

  • A Monopoly of Law, A Monopoly of Commons, A Market of Everything Else

    [T]he single necessity of monopoly organization is the holding of territory. The single necessity of objectively moral law is universal: prohibition on parasitism. The single necessity of objectively moral commons is universal: prohibition on privatization – also parasitism. The objective necessity of group survival is cooperation in the means of production. The objective necessity of group persistence is cooperation in the means of reproduction. To evolve these necessities we need a territory secured by men willing to fight for it; we need an independent judiciary that discovers objectively moral law during the resolution of conflicts; and we need an independent market in which the classes can conduct exchanges in order to construct their desired commons, and to prohibit the privatization of those commons; and we need a market for the division of knowledge and labor; and we need a market for reproduction that produces families families that bear and rear offspring for subsequent generations.

  • The Virtue Of Hanging (Frequently)

    [U]nfortunately, the whole expansion of the franchised ruined our excellent ancient tradition of watching your words, through liberal use of the duel. Unfortunately, the whole expansion of the franchise ruined our excellent tradition of telling the truth, by the dilution of libel and slander.

    Unfortunately the whole post-slavery thing ruined our excellent ancient tradition of genetic pacification thru liberal application of hanging. Unfortunately mass immigration ruined our excellent tradition of genetic pacification through sheriffs, posses, and civic duty of every man to defend the commons. Too many unfortunate things for aristocracy to tolerate.   —“A well hanged man rarely reoffends.”—Shaun Moss
