  • The Love Of Heady Murder


    [S]top thinking statists are well intentioned fools who can be persuaded by reason. There isn’t any evidence of it. The evidence is overwhelmingly the opposite. We know libertarians are moral specialists – morally blind to certain parts of the spectrum. And if you’re at least mildly praxeologically inclined it’s obvious that it’s not in the interests of statists, or the bottom third, to support meritocracy instead of expropriating the work of those who are most able and willing. It is no more foolish than exploiting the labor of peasants under agrarianism. So, appeals to reason, to construct a democratic majority, or in favor of systemic pacifism, are either the product of cognitive bias, moral blindness, ignorance of the data, an attempt to obtain liberty at a discount, or all of the above. The only source of liberty that ever could or can be, is the organized application of violence to demand it, by increasing the costs of appropriation beyond the rewards for it. Spilling blood is a beautiful thing. Violence is an art to be admired and practiced. Heady murder a splendid joy to be reveled. It is the brick and mortar of the fortress of liberty.

    VIA STRATFOR: –“It is unclear as yet whether the Islamic state can survive”—

    Well, that’s not true. A state survives only because others states tolerate its existence, and they tolerate its existence only because the cost of intolerance may be higher than the cost of tolerance.

    The question instead, is how a bunch of bandits and thieves who stole material goods and rob banks can construct a durable economy and can therefore provide income with which to sustain a state as an organization of individuals with common incentives.

    ALL WARS ARE CIVIL WARS BUT ALL WARS REQUIRE FUNDING

    It is terribly terribly easy to destroy the economic capacity of a region and reduce it tot he stone age. We have demonstrated how easy that is.

    The problem is then in killing every living soul who comes out of that region until they prefer to form a productive polity rather than perform raiders.

    It is a uniquely Christian stupidity NOT to kill every living soul that comes in and out of such regions.

    Either stay and fight, or try to leave and die. That is the only means by which we provide people with the incentives to resist barbarism. Otherwise they merely make barbarism our problem instead of theirs.

    When it is they and their culture and believes that create barbarism.

    OVERHEARD IN L’VIV:

    —“There are no good girls or bad girls. There is just mood, circumstance and alcohol. All girls are bad girls.”—

    From one of the devastatingly beautiful club-princesses.

    I actually hear this a lot in Ukraine. Which is interesting. Because after a while you realize that while american women are much ‘easier’ than Ukrainian women, it seems like Ukrainian women accumulate a lot more ‘mileage’ than average American counterparts.

    Which I haven’t figured out quite yet.

    ON RUSSIAN TRUTH

    –“Russians aren’t westerners. They find no shame in lying. Words are just sounds you make to influence weak, naive people.”—

    Truth is a uniquely western concept. (Unfortunately).
