—“The government endlessly invests in grown adults who can’t dress themselves or bathe., and who destroy every apartment they’ve ever lived in. … As Marx says “from each according to his ability. To each accord to his need.” … Don’t be surprised when you have hoards of VERY needy people with that policy.”—Aaron Schwartz
Oct 19, 2019, 7:12 PM I don’t, we don’t, need to ‘hate’ anyone under rule of law of reciprocity, truthful and reciprocal speech to the public in matters public, and voluntary association and disassociation by any means at all. The left can’t succeed without lying for ir-reciprocity, and sowing discord between genders, classes, and identities, and are left with merely grouping together in localities where they can create local law and norm suited to their wants – they can’t infect the rest of society, polity, nation, and civilization. They’re in both physical, economic, political, and ideological ghettos we call ‘cities’.

—“Millenials and Gen Z are mad that we have no community, society, fair ratio of marriageable women, reason to invest at all. Most of us would trade what we have now for communism, anarchy or any number of flawed systems. Philosophically speaking, fight club or the joker are more compelling than most or the abstract appeals pitched at us in the past 50 years. Except for P. Nothing else really defines or offers appealing alternatives with actionable solutions.”— GL Sevier

Oct 23, 2019, 3:13 PM —“Protestantism happened because christianity was never a perfect fit for us. The normal evolution of our civilization was disrupted when we encountered civilizations more developed. We had writing and metallurgy, but our stories and myths hadn’t become a codified law and spiritual system. It’s time for us to do this; it’s long over due.”— Andrew M Gilmour

Oct 23, 2019, 3:25 PM I don’t try to understand whacky behavior. I limit myself to understanding whacky arguments that poison the well so to speak. Some people are circumstantially crazy as a release valve – and we can usually understand those people quickly and let them pass. But there is no explanation for, and none required for ‘f-cking crazy’ other than ‘f-cking crazy’. Move along. Explaining f–ked up people is just another form of self aggrandizement. Don’t take the psychological bait. Improve yourself constantly. ignore the f-king crazies.

Oct 23, 2019, 6:25 PM It’s just much easier to reform a contract (constitution) that is adjudicated by an independent judiciary, than it is to reform a dictatorship, oligarchy, bureaucracy, or theocracy that lacks an independent judiciary and constitutional means of decision making given a division of powers, and fundamental rights especially to property. Most of western history is the difficulty in maintaining our rule of law from attempts to usurp it by the aristocracy, the theocracy, the burghers, and now the underclass communists, devoted, and socialists. A constitution if well written is an algorithm for the operation of a polity under falsification, tested before judges who are not involved in the operations of whatever function is in conflict.
