Apr 09, 2017 5:37pm AGENCY AND AESTHETICS —“Enlighten the intellect, volition will follow. Aesthetics seem to be the means of aligning one’s passions and emotions to reason.”—Rafael LaVerde Let me expand on that a bit: Remove sources of lack of fitness, lack of character (virtue), lack of resources, sources of normative and institutional resistance, sources of ignorance, error, bias, and deceit – all the impediments to agency – and agency will result. Then selecting a philosophy – a means of decidability – by which one can obtain one’s ends, and an aesthetic that values one’s passions in accordance with that philosophy.

Islamist Social Order vs European Social Order (important)
ISLAMICIST SOCIAL ORDER VS EUROPEAN SOCIAL ORDER Isis(Islamism) seeks to controls mind, word, deed, regardless of property allocation, and they favor (try to enforce) a libertarian-theological-judicial social order over centralized state. In other words, they want to preserve ‘headman’ of the tribe status for as many ‘headmen’ as possible, right down to the father of the family. Between: WEST/NORTH/COLD/SPARSE: The European model (Genetic European), consisting of (Aryan) martial (aristocratic) Sovereignty, and Burgher (middle class) Liberalism(Contractualism), under aristocratic rule of empirical law; AND SOUTH/MIDDLE/HOT/DENSE The Semitic model (Jewish, Arab, Muslim), (Genetic Afro-Asiatic) consisting of underclass rule of religious law. The SIMILARITY is obvious: Preserve head-man rule (King/Ruler, Judicial Priesthood (tribal and Clan headman), and Strong Father (family Headman) of extended family. The DIFFERNCES are: Aristocratic, Evolutionary, Eugenic, Small Numbers, Technological, Weaponized Professional Warriors, Trust, Economy, and Technology, high consumption living and reproduction. Tactics: concentration of capital and adaptability – solve problems quickly so that opportunities cannot be seized when we are otherwise weak or occupied.) -vs- Priestly, Devolutionary, Dysgenic, mandated ignorance, subsistence living and reproduction. Weaponized raiding, distrust, deception, and reproduction. Tactics: concentration of numbers – wear down the opponent over long periods of time) Curt DOolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine

John Derbyshire And The Riddle of the Anglos
THE ANGLO SELF ANALYSIS – THE RIDDLE OF TRUTH. —“I’m torn between thinking its a shame that we’re so stubborn that we require a way to prove we were right all along rather than just accepting it based on favorability of outcomes, and thinking it’s awe-inspiring that we are so dedicated to truth that we would likely change what we’ve assumed was correct if we were able to develop a reliable prediction model that shows us to be in error.”—@John Derbyshire

Love.
You think I’m passionate about the different regions of the USA? About Ukraine? About Poland? About every secessionist movement? About the people of Nigeria and Ghana? That’s just because it’s what I know well enough to argue about. LOOK: Nation, tribe, clan, family <-> father, Headman, Nobleman, Monarchy Only the west could develop rule without rulers: natural law. BUT EVERY PEOPLE CAN BE FREE BY USING IT. *NATIONALISM* Love thyself, love thy kin, then thy neighbor, then mankind. Because it is through this love we redistribute and bear the costs of persistence, and through constraint of our own against the parasitism upon others that we bear the costs of transcendence.

The Poor Want To Survive, The Privileged Talk Politics
THE POOR WANT TO SURVIVE. THE PRIVILEGE TALK POLITICS. –“Are the People of the Donbas Communist Sympathisers?”— Again, a privileged bit of silliness. The people in the donbas are fucking dirt poor and it sucks like hell, and the technological revolution that is floating ukraine in the other cities is not there. Right now it is a depopulated wasteland. Think detroit after a civil war. Think of the donbas as say, coal mining regions of wales, or the hills of kentucky, or any of the cities in america that live off state financed military (naval) production, all rolled into one. in 1992 their freaking world fell apart and without the organized redistribution of commerical activity to their region by state military investment, they have NO HOPE. They want pensions, redistribution, and they remember the REAL GOOD that was done for them by the soviet union. THe soviets were TERRIBLE for eastern europe but they were not terrible for many rural russian peasants. PEOPLE REACH FOR WHAT THEY UNDERSTAND. what they just want is food, clothing, shelter, security, family and to have a few hopes that are within reach of achievement. A middle or working class privileged person is a communist sympathizer. He has a luxury. A poor person is just DESPERATE.
