—Peaceful, law-abiding tea-party groups who cleaned up after their protests — and got legal permits for them — were signs of nascent fascism lurking in the American soul. Violent, anarchic, and illegal protests by Occupy Wall Street a few years ago or, more recently, in Ferguson, Mo., were proof that a new idealistic generation was renewing its commitment to idealism.
When rich conservatives give money to Republicans, it is a sign that the whole system has been corrupted by fat cats. When it is revealed that liberal billionaires and left-wing super PACs outspent conservative groups in 2014: crickets.
When Republicans invoke God or religious faith as an inspiration for their political views, it’s threatening and creepy. When Democrats do it, it’s a sign they believe in social justice.—

There is no “we”.
My people dragged your people out of deceit, corruption, ignorance, poverty, and disease, chiefly because we pay the high cost of telling the truth. And you didn’t, because you don’t.
Every time you say “we” you are lying.
Universalism requires only that we extend high trust and property rights to all whom we encounter. It does not require theft from good families to bad families.
Families not states.

My genes aren’t a privilege. My ancestors earned them. Individualism is an attempt to lie about traditions, genes, and value of one’s actions.
Family and tribe first.

People don’t want wealth, they want status. Wealth is only useful if it gains you status. If you cannot compete in wealth production then you must compete in gossip or violence production. Those are the only two possible means of competing with it.

If truth is a group’s your reproductive strategy, then they should try to destroy western civilization. Its just logical. It’s in their interest. And they’re doing it.

Non-westerners *should* be trying to destroy western civilization: it’s to their evolutionary advantage to defeat successful competitors.
