  • What Will It Take To Stop The Dominance Of America Over The World And Reduce It To A Weaker Nation?

    The USA had superior genetics, culture, and institutions because it was created as an incremental improvement over the early modern British society in which Americans attempted to leave behind both the ‘rents’ of the monarchy, nobility and church, as well as the costs of the less capable, less industrious and the poor. In other words, the USA used a new continent to create a purely middle class society without the burdens of carrying the dead weight of the underclass or rentier class. It was a grant experiment in the exercise of a constitution of Natural Law: markets in everything.

    The USA has a superior economy only because the sale of an enormous continent via the housing market to generations of immigrants, is so profitable, and the sale of consumer goods to those generations of households is so profitable, and such an important part of the economy. And in particular the use of the dollar as a reserve currency has allowed the USA to produce debt in excess of all historical imagination.

    In addition, while the second phase of the enlightenment and the second industrial revolution were occurring in germany prior to 1914, during and after the war, the USA was able to obtain a disproportionate number of german intellectuals, their engineers and technology, as well as the british empire’s regulation of world finance and trade, as well as the use of the dollar rather than the Pound as the primary currency of the world, thereby transferring military power from london to Washington DC, and transferring financial power from London to New York, Industrial power to the ‘rust belt’ and demographic power in the form of very cheap labor to the entire country.

    So between conquering and selling off a new continent, inheriting the most advanced culture, legal, and political institutions on earth from the British, inheriting the most advanced technology in the form of the agrarian and industrial revolutions from the british, inheriting the British Empire, and its Finance and Banking, and inheriting the second industrial and intellectual revolution from Germany, America was, at least for the past seventy years, much like a college kid inheriting his fortune, able to afford the kind of world ‘travel’ (dominance) that is almost impossible in history. That is, despite the long expensive war against the next wave of Abrahamism that we call Marxism, Communism, Socialism, Postmodernism, and Islam and the attempts to resist the re-impoverishment of europe that we call Fascism and Nationalism.

    Yet all of these advantages are coming to an end. In the process of resisting Abrahamism, Marxism, Communism, Socialism, Postmodernism,and now Political Islam, the USA and the UK have distributed consumer capitalism and its institutions, rule of law and its institutions, industrial technology, consumer technology, medical technology, and scientific technology to the rest of the world. And in doing so collapsed her advantage.

    Meanwhile America, since 1964, using policy implemented by American Abrahamists, Marxists, Communists, and Socialists, and Postmodernists, via their takeover of the Democratic party, have immigrated vast numbers of the underclasses without requiring them to integrate into anglo cultural norms, destroyed the black community through soviet relocation programs from the farms to the cities, and destroyed the black, hispanic, white underclass, and now white working class families through no fault divorce, child support, and alimony, thereby impoverishing generations rather than raising them into middle class institutions, culture, and ethics.

    The past Obama administration has used immigrants and relocation programs to further undermine our suburban and rural communities just as the six major immigrant cities have been reduced to european style circular slums sandwiched between a white and asian suburbia and an elite financial and service sector in the urban core.

    The Traditionalists defended against the Abrahamists by cheap home ownership loans that cause people to act traditionally, the financialization of the economy in order to ally business, industry, and finance against the Abrahamists, and the exporting of production out of the country, and to expand free trade in order to increase profits, to break the coalition between the unions and the Abrahamists, and impoverish the academy and the state.

    Between the import of vast underclasses, and the export of working class production, and the increase in financialization rewarding elites, and white flight from the cities, the united states is both on the verge of imperial exhaustion, financial collapse, and demographic and cultural civil war.

    So from all these factors America is no longer able to maintain the “Anglo Empire” because for both economic and demographic reasons the left has been successful in undermining the American experiment, while the “traditional americans” attempt to drag the world out of superstition, ignorance, poverty, tyranny, and disease, one expensive civilization at a time has been successful at the cost of neutralizing western cultural, institutional, and technological advantage (the same as happened to Rome).

    The future, which we see occurring right now, is the withdraw of America from the world stage, and the restoration of a balance of great powers, each of which represents the major civilizations, and each civilization of which is represented by a core state.

    At present, I can only hypothesize, but it appears the anglo civilization will converge, the european civilization will converge, the russians will continue to attempt to restore Orthodox civilization as soon as the anglos retreat, the chinese will end their relative isolation and restore their ancient levels of influence, and together those great civilizations will attempt to contain and then domesticate political islamic civilization by the promotion of one or two core states to civilizational status among the great powers in exchange for domesticating neighboring nations.

    in fact, the USA’s defense is all that is protecting islamic expansion from russian, indian, chinese retaliation.

    We are returning to normal.

  • Do Americans Let Strangers Enter All Their Rooms At Home?

    Let me help you with something very important.

    Germanic peoples, meaning English and German speaking, are very ‘high trust’ cultures. That means you can leave your car unlocked, your door unlocked, let people walk around your house, and leave valuables lying around and no, people won’t touch them. We have many shops that leave merchandise outside overnight and no one steals it. This is not true in our ‘cities’ (immigrant cities) but it is true many other places.

    That’s why western civilization is ‘special’. It took us a very long time to build a high trust society.

  • Why Are So Few Scientists Libertarian? Is There An Element Of Government Funding That Has Been Indispensable For The Advances In Science We Have Seen Since The Last Century?

    Have you noticed how few intellectuals are libertarians? Have you noticed that oddly, all books on libertarianism are entry level, and none of them advanced?

    Libertarianism had an early flowering in the sixties and seventies. But by the 80s almost all had abandoned it, and at present only the few people associated with the Mises Institute’s pseudoscientific propaganda remain. The reason being that it’s a dead end.

    The general intellectual progress through the ideologies is Classical Liberal (Hayek/Haslitt) > Libertarian (Rothbard) > Anarcho Capitalist (Hoppe) > Dark Enlightenment (Mencius) > Propertarianism (Strictly Constructed Natural Law Classical Liberalism)

  • Is Russia Our Enemy?

    Russia is not so much an enemy as Russia and Russians feel somewhere between a messianic and religious conviction that they must restore Orthodox civilization, and that the west has consistently prohibited their efforts – and the truth is we were wrong and the russians were right.

    Russia is paying a very high price for the Bolshevik and Soviet Eras.

    We were wrong in entering WW1. Wrong in entering WW2. Wrong not to defeat the communists in China, and wrong not to immediately include the Russians in NATO. We were right to crush Saddam Hussein but wrong to try to create a democracy, rather than let the existing peoples replace him.

    Russia merely screwed up invading Ukraine. She could have easily bought all of ukraine other than Galacia (in the west) for a song, and now she has made herself a threat again.

  • Why Can’t The Us Just Obliterate The Likes Of China And Russia?

    Because we are Europeans. We are the world’s Aristocracy. We invented aristocracy. We are also, unfortunately, Christians. Meaning we play ‘extremely forgiving tit for tat’. And so we don’t do that. We civilize people instead. It’s just more profitable.

    Look. when the Great Khan was to decimate China, his advisors told him how much money he could make by taxing them rather than just robbing and killing them.

    If you’re a westerner, with the only high trust civilization on earth, making customers is simply more profitable than killing them. 3500 years ago the Indo Europeans and conquered pretty much everything from the atlantic to the source of the Yellow River, and from the arctic circle to Egypt, with the Iranians dominating the warm climates and the europeans dominating the cooler climates.

    It’s just profitable to rule.

    It’s also really hard to profit from rule when almost everyone on earth is dead and the people who are left want to kill you.

    The real question is why the west and the russians don’t get together and kill everyone else and just enjoy the rest of history together.

  • What Is The Relationship Between Liberty And Capitalism?

    Sovereignty in fact exists or it does not. One has sufficient force in himself or his reciprocally insured allies to prevent his subjugation or not.

    Liberty is given by permission of the Sovereign, and refers to those who are self sufficient but whose rights can be imposed upon. Although liberty originally referred to the right of a people to preserve local law and custom in their own matters, and is therefore a political grant from the sovereigns, we tend to conflate it with Freedom.

    Freedom is given by permission of someone or some people capable of depriving you of it, and refers to those who might have been candidates for slavery, but have earned their freedom by some means, or at least, not lost it by other means. The common libertarian advocacy of a cuneiform term, says literally ‘return to the mother’, which means that one’s required service to the ruler for the term has been fulfilled.

    Capitalism refers to the use of contract, money, prices, and accounts, the elimination of rents on territorial resources, by its allocation to individuals, along with the distribution to individuals of discretion on the use of one’s physical energy, time, and possessions obtained by voluntary exchange. In other words, the voluntary organization of production, distribution, and trade using incentives made possible by individual calculation of the most beneficial options available to him. What is usually lost in this discourse is that the individualization of property prohibits local rents, allowing the centralization of rents that we consider taxation, and that this centralization of rents is one of the primary causes of the reduction of opportunity and transaction costs that makes a voluntarily organized economy possible at the expense of those who would live parasitically of the local collection of rents. In other words, capitalism converts subservience to ‘mafia’ at various local scales which impede production, to subservience to a single central ‘mafia’ in exchange for eliminating those rents that impeded production.

    Liberty AND Capitalism

    1. Therefore the relationship between capitalism and liberty is, precisely, that the sovereign will not interfere in the voluntary organization of production other than to create it in the first place, resolve conflicts as they arise by demand for reciprocity of obligation and rights in the contracts between parties, and to prevent the externalization of costs to the commons or the privatization of commons in the course of private transactions.
    2. However the problem of the degree of taxation (commission), the maximum calculation of which is the favorite hobby of economists, is not answered by this question. Nor is the use of those taxes (commissions), to produce commons within or without of the private economy.
    3. Therefore we colloquially use the term ‘capitalism’, to refer to the policy bias in favor of minimum taxation, competition, and interference in the market, and we use social democracy or the more pejorative ‘socialism’ to refer to the policy bias in favor of maximum taxation, egalitarianism, and interference in the market for the production of goods, services and information. The central conflcit being that the state does not insure the risk of capital and its losses but takes income regardless of that risk and those losses. And on the other hand, the combination of scale, wealth (capital), and credit, is such a more powerful competitive advantage that those with mere labor can compete with or even seek to participate in.
    4. Therefore liberty and capitalism can only exist when political questions are decidable because costs and returns are calculable, because coincidences of want are marginal, and consequences are perceivable. (Yeah, I know but once you read that a few times you’ll get it, and its important.)

    The net of this is that unless you possess sovereignty the best you can possess is liberty, and both liberty and property exist only as matters of degree in the balance between the impossibility of pure capitalism except between powerful states, and the impossibility of pure communism except within the family. And instead the useful point of demarcation between more capitalism less capitalism and least capitalism, depending upon whether we are in a mode of territorial or economic expansion requiring private risk(capitalism), a mode of relative calm requiring the production of commons (mixed economy), or at war (nationalized and centralized economy).

  • Which War Is Likely To Happen: Usa Goes To War With Russia Or Usa Goes To War With China?

    The third option is more likely: The USA will have a civil war, and be unable to go to war with Russia or China, and Russia and China will expand, and the question will be the muslims, with whom the west, russia, and china are already at war.
