October 14th, 2018 3:16 PM —“WHO IS A CONSERVATIVE?”— (From Marginal Revolution) Avoiding the marxist-postmodern love of verbal sophistry: CONSERVATISM CONSISTS IN: – Empiricism as a defense against hubris. – Meritocracy as a defense against hubris. – Private Property as a defense against hubris. – Markets as a defense against hubris. – The common (natural) law of tort as a defense against hubris – The Jury-of-requisite-scale as a defense against hubris. – Late Marriage as a defense against hubris. – Intergenerational lending as a defense against hubris – Taking no action for which one cannot perform restitution(Reversal) as a defense against hubris. – Competition between the Scientific, Legal, Philosophical, and Theological as a defense against hubris. – Small Nation States as a defense against hubris. – Militias as a Defense against Hubris. (That should be enough to get the point across.) Not that Dunning-Kruger’s universal law, or the French Revolution, or all of continental philosophy, or the pseudosciences of Marx, Boas, Freud, Cantor, Adorno; or the innumeracy of the general theory’s change of economics from measurement by balance sheet to measurement by income statement; or the sophisms of Derrida through Rorty and Rawls …. none need explaining to a Conservative. 😉

“Equality is just a feeling”
October 14th, 2018 4:49 PM
—“I rescued myself from egalitarianism by thinking in OO and really got hooked on your posts bc you where “light years” ahead in the direction I was already independently going. I started telling women who were open that equality is just a feeling… and they agreed.”— Brendan Hegarty

Communist Rules for Revolution
October 14th, 2018 2:12 PM FWIW: This is an interpretation of Communist Strategy produced at the end of WW2. We do not in fact know the author. But it was first published in the USA. The fact that communists don’t own up to it, doesn’t mean it isn’t the plan. Like “The Protocols” these are western articulations of the operational objectives of Abrahamic, Communist and now Postmodern and Feminist speech. So “Communist Denialism” of a QUOTE, isn’t the same as the operational description of Communist Tactics spoken in Abrahamic (Sophist) Code. —Communist Rules for Revolution–
Corrupt the young, get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial. Destroy their ruggedness.
Get control of all means of publicity.
Get people’s minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and other trivialities.
Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.
Destroy the peopleâs faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and obloquy.
Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit and produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.
Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders, and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders.
By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues, honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.
Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view to confiscating them and leaving the populace helpless.

Prescriptive Conflict
October 12th, 2018 1:07 PM PRESCRIPTIVE CONFLICT by William L. Benge [P]rescriptive Conflict: By describing conflagrations between groups in specific language and explicitly as “prescriptive conflict” we limit the possibility of r’s mis-framing the conflict (lying/ betrayal) midway, to escape reciprocity, and accounts preemptively for their typical “turn” toward the enemy; their switching loyalties for selfish gain; their opening the city gates at midnight for the right price. Simultaneously, this term connotes the polity has exercised positiva to establish sound positions on all relevant matters internally and externally, present, past and future. And balanced this with negativa. Positiva will manifest for outgroup interactions and ingroup legislation of policy. Policy shall form prescriptions, enforced in negativa. Outgroups defiant of these prescriptions enact warfare. Law, therefore, touches nearly all human action, except the required liberty for refinement, ASCENSION of the polity.

The Most Intolerant Will Win

[A] church or temple is a claim on the norms, traditions, and laws used in a territory. There is no coexistence possible between conflicts. THE MOST INTOLERANT AND BOTTOM WILL WIN.
