WHITE IDENTITY ARISES IN RESPONSE TO COLLECTIVE THREAT
via: Patrick Smyth, Alain Dwight
“In summary, at their origins the Goths were significantly ethnic–in the fourth century around 20-50 percent being a freemen class with at least a sense of Gothic identity if not biological kinship […]. However, group identity was most important under conditions of threat or expansion. After attaining dominance in Spain, this group identity tended to dissipate, replaced by a class-structured society where elites were composed of both Romans and Goths, with a great deal of intermarriage. Family strategizing related to social class became more important than group identity. This is a good example of the weakness of extended kinship bonds among Western peoples and the tendency to splinter in the absence of threat.”

ACCESS TO LONG GAME VIA EXPLICIT STRATEGY
by Patrick Smyth (via Alain Dwight)
“Leftists have been playing the long game for the past century, slowly insinuating themselves into powerful positions, and the right wing has been largely ignorant of it until roughly the past decade. In other words, leftist have been led by an explicit strategy (Marxism), while the right is only just formulating theirs (Propertarianism).”

—“A Propertarian is expected to (and must) use Mathematics (as a universal language of measurement), Science (as a universal language of testimony), Law and Economics (as a universal language of decidability), Natural history (as a universal language of evidence), Literature (as a universal language of meaning) and Mindfulness (as the means of preventing addictions). And a Propertarian is expected to (and must) demonstrate Agency in pursuit of political power, instead of fantasizing about it.”—Ahmed Reda

—“One of the common themes we see from some people who countersignal us is often they seem to pooh-pooh law as a solution and think that everything can be solved with some sort of aesthetic or spiritual movement. These guys are often young. I see them as just looking for a solution within a frame they understand and that is intuitive to them. In contrast to some of the more mature people who have a spiritual bent but also recognize the importance of punishment (law) and that not everything can be accomplished only with persuasion.”— John Mark

Curt Replies: There is a great deal of woo woo in Mathematics – mathematical platonism, mathematical idealism, cantorian multiple infinities, many worlds, proof being positiva rather than negativa, the terms, labels, and symbolism all create nonsense. Mathematics is the most simple of the logics, the logic of positional names. The greeks did everything with geometry. There is a good reason. Measurements (real) vs Language (ideal). And we’re stuck with the consequences of treating math as a language – where nonsense can be said. I write about this subject quite a bit because there are two origins to pervasive sophism in western civilization, regardless of field: mathematical idealism, and scriptural interpretation. Both of which stem from the same error. There is a moronic bit of innumeracy going around ‘intelligent design’ circles right now and he’s bit apparently taken the bait. The answer to their query is: evolutionary progress includes loss of intermediary information: it’s hard to reverse engineer cellular evolution.
