  • Why Does The Us Government Insist On Making Other Countries Be Democratic?

    THE COMPLETE ANSWER
    The world wars dramatically changed western civilization to which we said ‘never again’. This has driven american policy since world war one. American treats europe as a set of petulant client states that are incapable of self rule. This is not new. Americans have believe this of europeans since the founding of the country.

    THE POSTWAR POLICY
    1) We cannot allow countries to attempt to use border expansion to increase wealth.
    2) We will force all countries to focus on internal development of consumer capitalsm, human rights, because this will eliminate any need for inter-state conflict, and it will generate economic ties that will make conflict undesirable and expensive.
    3) All people will rationally choose consumer capitalilsm if given teh ability to choose their own government, because everyone wants to consume, and all people wish to be free.
    4) Therefore we will support the will of all people to establish a democractic, consumer,capitalist society.

    AND THE BIG, UNSTATED, “HOWEVER”
    5) if people choose poorly and institute a government that violates these ambitions we will punish that government and those people until they make the correct, peaceful choice.

    SO WHAT’S THE PROBLEM
    1) is a good idea
    2) is a good idea
    3) is absolutely false, and incomprelnsiblly ignorant. consumer capitalsm and democracy are very, very, limited goods, after which both are destructive to family, culture, and civilization.
    4) is what the states does because it is wrong about 3.
    5) is the consequence of doing 4, while still under the illusion of 3.

    THE USA IS A GOOD INSURER. BUT A BAD DIRECTOR.

    THE MOST ACCURATE AND COMPLETE STATEMENT YOU WILL NEED.

    The left’s manifesto has been public for over a century, and is represented in the ten planks. And the left has been successful and (a) a complete canon of pseudoscience in the social sciences (b) conquest of the primary education and secondary education systems, (c) conquest of the media, and entertainment businesses (d) invasive immigration of the underclasses, (e) financialization of the economy (f) systematic intentional destriction of our constitution of natural law, by selective advocacy of cases that expose the weakensses in created by the initial draft’s compromise with the southern states, and the violations of natural law added to the constitution after the conquest and defeat of the southern states.

    The right’s manifesto CANNOT be made public under majoritarian democracy since the right’s program is entirely EUGENIC. There is a reason the right speaks metaphorically and morally – if they spoke scientifically it would be challenging.

    Now, the right (as usual) is ‘right’. But its unacceptable under democracy to state that the entire reason we lifted Europe out of ignorance and poverty was that northern Europe like greco-roman civilization was terribly meritocratic, and northern Europe additionally heavily eugenic.

  • How Would An Anarcho Capitalist Society Look Like, In The Long Run?

    (a) Libertines (anarcho capitalists) differ from libertarians (jeffersonian contractualists), where Contractualist Libertarian = do no harm to the commons, and anarchist libertine = do no good to the commons. This is the underlying principle of decidability in libertinism (anarcho capitalism): avoid costs of physical, normative, an cultural commons, where the principle of decidability in libertarianism is merely the prohibition on the imposition of costs that would cause retaliation.

    (b) no anarcho capitalist polity can form out of rational economic incentives because without commons and territory on low cost trading routes, any such polity must be endogenously parasitic.

    (c) no anarcho capitalist can retain desirable, productive individuals in competition with other societies that do produce commons that add multipliers to the market for reproduction and production.

    (d) any anarcho capitalist polity that did survive would be limited to endogenously parasitic members, and those polities that bore the parasitism would eventually, when in a period of stress, colonize, conquer, or destroy such a polity (pirates, drug dealers, money launderers etc).

    (e) Ergo no anarcho capitalist society is possible -and its arguable whether one was desirable. If you need a nearly lawless borderland and will bear the costs to consumption of living there, then go. Antartica, Siberia, and canada contain vast areas of unused territory because it has not economic value higher than it’s costs of survival in harsh conditions.

    The only possible liberty is that of the anglo saxons: contractualism. And the only means of achieving it is to eliminate demand for the state as a suppressor of aggression and retaliation by the use of the common law to prohibit the imposition of costs on life, kin, relations, things, built capital, norms, traditions, and institutions.

    There is only one possible form of liberty then: the only social science man has discovered: rule of law, natural law, common judge discovered law, universal enfranchisement, and universal accountability, and universal reciprocal insurance.

    WE ARE THE STRANGE PEOPLE. THE REST OF THE WORLD IS NORMAL: CORRUPT.

    that the purpose of the militia, the sheriff, and the judiciary, is to eliminate corruption from the market economy, and resist as much as possible political corruption from entering the market economy, while preserving the natural corruption that exist in the ‘favors’ economy, of the political production of commons.

    American corruption is fairly isolated in the sense that it’s political and systemic, and usually hidden, and rarely interferes with the private economy.

    This differs from most of the world, and certainly within the post-soviet countries, where citizens directly experience corruption with nearly all officials, and where it’s terribly common to have the government collect protection money, or for the government to construct false legal claims in order to force you into bankruptcy so that your business can be bought for pennies by one of the political allies.

    These are normal everyday occurrences here. I have been in stores when people come in seeking bribes. I have paid bribes to policemen. I have paid bribes to administration officials. I have paid bribes to customs officers – not to get away with anything mind you – but to prevent them from imposing HIGHER costs on me unjustly.

    I have no problem with paying anyone for extraordinary work, like higher prices for shorter lines. Some of us have more money than time, and some more time than money. I have no problem paying someone for extraordinary service (rushing some work). This is not corruption, it’s compensation.

    It’s corruption when it costs money to have someone just do a job, or when you aren’t initiating it in order to obtain extra service.

    Most of the world is corrupt/ it is the west that’s unique.

    We are the weird people.

    The rest of the world is normal: corrupt.

  • ANALYSIS OF THE STRATEGIES OF THE UKRAINAN AND RUSSIAN PEOPLES AND A PREDICTION

    ANALYSIS OF THE STRATEGIES OF THE UKRAINAN AND RUSSIAN PEOPLES AND A PREDICTION OF THE FUTURE.

    —Why is urkaine’s independence sacrosanct?—

    1) liberty has a value in itself, and one cannot claim a desire for liberty without reciprocally assiting others. Although the reason for that is longer than I want to get into right now.

    2) there is no reason ever, why a people cannot secede to form a nation by secession from an empire, except occupation.

    2) It is always moral for a higher trust people to govern a lower trust people, but Russians are a lower trust people than Ukrainians.

    4) Poland and Ukraine are genetically related peoples (indistinguishable) and there is no reason that Ukrainians cannot possess the same quality of life as the Poles. Poland has a GDP per capital of 14K and Ukraine, despite similar geography and demographics has one of 4k. Ukrainians could triple their standard of living if they could join either Poland or the EU, which would displace the oligarchs, and with the oligarchs and Russian corruption, post-soviet poverty.

    5) The Russians have murdered far too many people in this country, desecrated graves, destroyed traditions, made people disappear in the night, destroyed a once-healthy high trust European culture, destroyed families, destroyed ethics and morality, destroyed the middle class, occupied, impoverished, and supported a predatory and corrupt regime. They don’t want Russian leadership they want prosperity.

    6) the borderlands sphere, consisting of the north eastern European countries: Boland, Czech republic, Hungary,, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovenia, and at the outside, Romania form a cultural and genetic region.

    The southern eastern European countries of the mountain-sphere: Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Kosovo and Macedonia, would be better off forming their own federations. These countries had more ottoman influence and they will always be harder to govern.

    Belarus has decided to remain, like the Kazhaks, in the Russian steppe-sphere. Much like cuba lived off soviet contributions, belarus lives of russian.

    WHY DOES UKRAINE MATTER TO RUSSIA?

    Well, to be a great power requries about .5B people. Russia has 140M. The Kazahks have 17, the Belarus 10, Ukraine about 45, the poles 38, the baltics not enough to matter.

    Russia has poor ports for a world power: the black sea (crimea), kalinningrad (conquered german city of Koenigsburg), and it’s artic locations. So as an ARTIC power it’s got bases, but as a TEMPERATE SHIPPING power it doesn’t.

    Without access to water russia cannot be a great power.

    WHY DOES RUSSIA WANT TO BE A GREAT POWER?

    They want to restore orthodox civilization, and frankly who can blame them. Otherwise they’re a small population with an enormous land mass to defend, and without the people, economy, and infrastructure to defend it.

    Russian mythology and paranoid psychology does not easily accept the status of second-rate nation, subject tot he will of others. Especially when internal control requries such heavy-handedness. Weakness is not tolerable.

    So the die is cast, and unless russia wants to rule the islamic world by remote, using israel, saudi arabia, and turkey, she has no possible method of obtaining territory and economy sufficient for a great power status.

    So she has three choices: join the west (which is what we all want really – them to rescue us from liberalism and us to rescue them from corruption and the absence of rule of law.

    She can try to unite with china, which merely means she will be a client state of 140m managed by the economiy and might of a different race (chinese) who have a very poor record of treatment of satellites.

    Or she can try to progressively obtain control over the middle east. And why is this sensible for russia? Beause almost all the oil in the world is in a big puddle between saudia arabia, and the artic above moscow.

    IN other words, russia can make a play to rule the resourc-cursed destert and steppe peoples. Why? Islamic demographics and religion dooms them to permanent underclass. Russia, israel, and turkey can create a technological and miltiary caste system that basically farms the arabs and iranians as cattle.

    THIS IS HOW GROWNUPS TALK ABOUT WORLD AFFAIRS.

    (and if you can’t talk economics and incentives you need to learn to)

    BACK TO UKRAINE.

    A romantic would say that we preserve Ukraine. A scientist would say that the southeast and access to the black sea are lost because Russians successfully transplanted so many of their people into that region that they have done to Ukraine what Europeans did to the American Indians: destroyed them through invasion and conquest and immigration.

    So the rational solution would be to give russia her warm water ports and return the center and west of Ukraine to poland, making Poland roughly the population of Germany, but with three time’s germany’s 120k square miles, at ~300K square miles of territory, and the best farmland outside of west france. Capable of feeding all of europe forever. Poland and germany alone then would be equal in population to russia, and economically leaving germany+poland/ukraine with ~5T in GDP compared to 2T of russian GDP.

    Russia then is both safe and economically incapable of western expansion.

  • CAN WE FIND CLASS MOVEMENTS IN CONSERVATISM, LIBERTARIANISM, AND PROGRESSIVISM?

    CAN WE FIND CLASS MOVEMENTS IN CONSERVATISM, LIBERTARIANISM, AND PROGRESSIVISM?

    (Short answer: yes)

    CURT:

    —I tend to refer to the various conservatisms as class-movements within the aristocratic egalitarian system of cooperation, with the national socialists and 88’ers and such as the upper proletariat and lower working class(soldiery, labor, and demand), the traditionalists as the upper working class(nco’s, information and advocacy), the legalists as the middle class(officers, organization and choice), and the martial and judicial castes as the upper class (Monarchy, generals, force and limits).- Curt Doolittle

    IVAN:

    —“Are there similar class-movements among progressives and libertarians? And, could it be stated that class-movements among all three groups are consequence of division of moral intuitions on one hand, and perception, cognition, labour and advocacy on the other?

    I guess, among libertarians, there would be: libertines (lower), an-caps(middle) and international traders (high). And among progressives there would be members of syndicate (lower), social justice warriors (middle) and globalist (high).”— Ivan Ilakovac

    CURT: DOES CIVILIZATION GIVE US HIGHER PURPOSE?

    (short answer, no)

    —does the introduction of civilization produce another algorithm, one in which the goal is to satisfy human desires and intentions more than a biological imperative?—

    It sure looks as though at some point we stop reproducing more out of security and simply consume more out of luxury.

    I think the domestication of man produces far more productive results, and that we have an endless appetite for consumption.

    I don’t see anything other than that. If any human behavior can be expressed as an attempt at acquisition, consumption, and persistence, then that behavior provides us with decidable causality. And we need not try to invent falsehoods to comfort ourselves that anything else is going on here.

    We enjoy each other because operation at low cost and entertainment at low cost are good algorithms. Enjoyment is the body’s reward for saving, obtaining, consuming, or inventorying calories.

    Our emotions are all reducible to changes in property. All of them.

    It’s …. kind of painful to understand it.

    But we do get to enjoy the ride our genes take us on. 🙂

    POLITICAL PREFERENCE IS REDUCIBLE TO GENETIC STRATEGY

    —“One might view this as two competing models of class: the conservative model emphasizes producing an upper half of the pyramid, where the leftist model strives to produce the lower half.”—

    CLASSES

    –The conservative model emphasizes producing an upper half of the pyramid, where the leftist model strives to produce the lower half.—

    Conservative, K-selection, Male/strong, long term, tribe, lower cost of defense.

    Progressive, r-selection, Female/weak, short term, offspring, lower cost of reproduction.

    We differ in perception and function, but are compatible, and through exchanges(negotiations and trades) we ‘discover’ the ‘price’ of persistence (survival). And we rebel at the limits, when exchanges are no longer possible or desirable..

    MEMES

    I see memes as… a failure to produce an equally compelling narrative. But at the bottom of the argumentative spectrum it’s all rallying and shaming anyway. So yes, I see us having adopted the marxists methods, even if I don’t like it.
