An urban minority is not the same as a demographic or territorial minority. Outside of the urban favelas-in-training, it’s homogenous. Of course suburbans and rurals have higher sensitivity to costs imposed: the police vast commons that urbanites take for granted. There are many ways to sell yourself into slavery. Democracy, Marx, Keynes, and Multiculturalism are just the best pitch since monotheism. I’m autistic. Childhood was traumatic in many ways.But I didn’t ask for special pleading.I trained the h-ck out of myself to adapt to norms.

Aphorism: Absolutes vs Preferences
Nov 15, 2016 2:22pm Benefit and Loss are absolutes. Good and Evil are absolutes. Preference is relative. That we use the authoritarian terms good and evil to lie about our preferences is just another form of fraud.

Religion Has No Need Of Lies
There is a difference between a cost of entry into a religion and the content of the falsehoods in the religion. Many cults do not ask us to pay physical costs, but to deny reality as the cost of entry. In fact, is that not the entire premise of the monotheistic religions? The price of entry is faith in falsehood? A cost of non-correspondence with reality? The signal of trustworthiness to others is the likewise denial? The shared lie? There exist amazing cults (stoicism), questionable cults (Buddhism), ignorance creating cults (Christianity and Islam), immorality creating cults (Judaism), and even worse cults that teach even worse lies. There is no need for lies. History, myth, man, and nature are beauty enough and wonder enough without the need for lies.

The Evolution of Slaveries
THE EVOLUTION OF SLAVERY Slavery exists wherever exit, and return to subsistence, is practically impossible. Slavery: violence slave Serfdom: land slave Employee: wage slave Consumer: credit slave Citizen: tax slave The only freedom is food, water, and shelter, self-sufficiency, with participation in the market purely voluntary. And only commissions on transactions payment for the commons. Yet all of us must be paid for policing of the commons if we police it – dividends. With self-sufficiency and payment for commons we gain liberty. All else is slavery. Roughly speaking each person could take 10k in dividends at present. Between self-sufficiency and 10k in dividends on our continuous investment in the commons, we would possess liberty. Otherwise we’re just farmed.

Is Male Bonding The Source Of Civilization?
(hmmm… well, lets do a propertarian analysis of that question) —“How do you feel about mannerbunds?”—Harrison Baker Well you know, I tend to stay away from silly terminology and instead make operationally testable statements. men evolved to work in groups of brothers to herd women, hold territory, and kill competitors and take their stuff. this requires both cooperation: shared risk, and loyalty: elimination of defectors and parasites, and a division of spoils preserving both cooperation, loyalty, and the punishment of defectors and cheats. civilization is the result of teh accumulated knowledge and institutions that allow us to scale this system to ever larger and ever more competitive circumstances. in this sense, yes, the bond between men that we traditionally call the ‘intitiatic brotherhood of soldiers’ is in fact the source of what we call ‘civilization;: cooperation at very large scales. But we could just as likely say that it’s the need for men to bind to herd women and hold territory and develop institutions that is the source of civilization. or we could say that it is man’s reaction to the untrustworthiness of women that is the origin of civilization since all we do is invent better farms in which to herd our women at lower cost to us. Or we could say that women are untrustworthy in order to force us to build good farms (nests) for them in which they can nest. And that it is women’s untrustworthiness that forces us to cooperate and create nesting areas for them. Roll that little model around in your head for a while? 😉 Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine
