    Our sacred rights as Englishmen descend from (the quasi-myth of) the Magna Carta, a contract between the Sovereign and his people, a promise to respect and protect their life, liberty and property in return for their loyalty and service.

    Anglo militias have time and again staged rebellions against sovereigns who broke this sacred contract. Their blood gave us our inheritance of liberty, not God.

  • “There will be no “reset” after post-80s busts, as the booms were all financiall

    —“There will be no “reset” after post-80s busts, as the booms were all financially engineered by banks: they amounted to net transfers of wealth to financial institutions and the underlying rich. The development of the mass internet is an exception: but ultimately — in the complete vacuum of national policy dealing with its externalities — it’s a mass net destroyer of social productivity and cohesion, and a mere reorganizer of social utility with objectively dangerous characteristics.”– Joel Katz

    —“There’s a deeper thread here. Possibly all these premia (American Windfalls) would not have been so wasted if a genuine socio-political transformation had occurred, and not just various technological ones. It’s one reason the left is so pathetic, because they’re anachronistic — clamoring for social change as if the surplus of the 60s still existed.”— Joel Katz
