Now, I’m all for regime change in iran and the gradual rescue of our persian cousins from the arab conquest. And a non-nuclear, and militarily limited iran as the center of the northern states is ok. A nuclear and armed iran as that center isn’t tolerable.

THE RUSSIAN SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CYCLE Nefedov, Turchin and Malkov: sociodemographic cycles (The implied argument is that the Kondratiev wave and the agrarian waves are about the same, and that we exhaust possibilities of expansion on a predictable cycle (it takes two generations to exhaust and opportunity) The basic logic of these models is as follows: 1) After the population reaches the ceiling of the carrying capacity of land, its growth rate declines toward near-zero values. 2) The system experiences significant stress with decline in the living standards of the common population, increasing the severity of famines, growing rebellions etc. 3) As has been shown by Nefedov, most complex agrarian systems had considerable reserves for stability, however, within 50–150 years these reserves were usually exhausted and the system experienced a demographic collapse (a Malthusian catastrophe), when increasingly severe famines, epidemics, increasing internal warfare and other disasters led to a considerable decline of population. 4) As a result of this collapse, free resources became available, per capita production and consumption considerably increased, the population growth resumed and a new sociodemographic cycle started.

1) The USA proposed a ‘Third Way’ (meritocracy), but that “third way” is very hard for the underclasses, who want to restore the old. 2) Fiat money, Scale, Wealth from selling off a conquered continent, Inheritance of the British empire and German science, created windfalls. 3) But those windfalls, and the temporary lifting of the underclasses into middle class consumption post civil – and world-war because of them, created too much incentive for those against meritocracy. And so they sought under marxism, and postmodernism to use US openness to destroy it. 4) The uneducated speak in theology. The educated speak in morality, philosophy, and pseudoscience. But those with existential responsibility speak in history, economics, and incentives. If you cannot explain phenomena in economic terms you are just inventing fictions

AFRICA
You see, I see african ‘humility’ as both a blessing and a curse. It is not that helpful, but humility is easier to transform into heroic optimism, than islamic overconfidence, and hindu overinvestment in ‘magic’.
Islam is the greatest danger to africa for this reason.

I am not an organizer but it seems about time to march on washington to demand large scale refugee resettlement of south african whites to america.
