    (FB 1548812685 Timestamp) CAN WE BRING FAR RIGHT INFLUENCE TO THE WEST? “It all begins with the militia” Two news items today, that are important only in so far as they show that the Far Right, once mobilized can have extraordinary influence on political systems, with a small number of willing men intolerant of the status quo. • Divisions sharpen inside Ukraine’s far-right camp as it fails to unite around a single presidential candidate, with National Corps refusing to support Svoboda’s candidate Ruslan Koshulynskyi. https://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/divisions-between-ukraines-far-right-groups-sharpen-ahead-of-elections.html? • The center of Kyiv rang to the sound of rifle and machine-gun fire on the night of Jan. 27, 2019 during a reenactment of the Battle for the Arsenal Factory organized by far-right and nationalist organizations.

    (FB 1548706830 Timestamp) By Eli Harman I was just reminded of an old argument of Bryan Caplan’s. One argument he makes for open borders involves a hypothetical. Say one of us went to Haiti, on an aid mission or something. When they were done and ready to come back, we tell them “no, you can’t come back. You have to stay in Haiti.” That would be a dick thing to do to one of our own, argues Bryan Kaplan, and therefore it’s a dick thing to do to Haitians too. The difference, of course. Is that in the one case, we are inflicting the shittiness of Haiti on one of our own, by denying their request to return. While in the other case, we are PREVENTING Haitians (who are not our ingroup) from inflicting the shittiness of Haiti on ALL of our own, by denying their request to enter. So they are not in any way, shape, or form, equivalent cases. This is an example of casuistry (sometimes known as “pilpul”) improperly reasoning from a specific case to a general rule, in this case a bad rule that accomplishes parasitic and destructive ends desired by Bryan Caplan for malicious reasons (Bryan Caplan is by his own admission, scared of majorities and reflexively desires to undermine and attack them. He is a majorityphobe. But Bryan Caplan’s insecurities and ethnic fragility inpose no obligations on us to cater to them.) Casuistry (“Pilpul”) is the cornerstone of their arts of deception and their parasitic group evolutionary strategies.

    (FB 1548819492 Timestamp) REGARDING: NEWS: “VA WOMEN SEEK TO PERMIT ABORTION DURING BIRTH” (NAXALT WARNING: whenever we use a universal category like men or women, men and women exist in a distribution of ability. bias. experience. and knowledge, but we can still quite easily make ‘general rules of general precision regarding the cumulative behavior of those distributions’ – No More NAXALT Deceits!) (SENSITIVE TOPIC WARNING: Sorry but this is science. No more lies.) MEN Men defend the herd (women and children) by instinct. Everything men do attempts to preserve sufficient loyalty among super-predators, for the male pack to maintain the resource of the female herd in competition against other packs who compete for resources – including our female herd. WOMEN Women conduct “sh-t tests” by instinct. Or better stated, women look for opportunities to undermine. This is how they create and maintain equality: undermining. Women eliminate competitors by undermining. They control the fitness of their males in competition with other males by undermining. They control access to their reproductive facility by undermining. They control each other through undermining. And where men simply end the threat to the pack, women seek to destroy competition completely. Women undermine. They feel ‘good’ and ‘relaxed’ whenever they undermine any and everyone. Western men are the victims of permissiveness in letting women undermine. There is no end to woman’s want of nesting. There is no end to woman’s want of attention. There is no end to woman’s want of undermining. Women in Europe took out their anger on the church. Women in Anglodom took out their anger on the monarchy. Women in America took out their anger on men. They undermined the church, they undermined, the monarchy, and they undermine their men, and the undermine all that has made their lives of relative luxury possible – and they will never, ever, stop. Despite the fact that it was heroism, loyalty, sovereignty, property, marriage, and paternalism that raised us out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, starvation, hard labor, suffering, disease, child mortality, early death, the perils of the seasons and the vicissitudes of nature in a universe hostile to life. We are but riders on the elephants of our evolutionary heritage embodied in our genes, and expressed in our physiology, and demonstrated in our behavior. Our though and speech is nothing more than a means of negotiating on behalf of those genes. By extraordinary effort we can develop the agency to reason – and not be controlled by the elephant, rather than intuit and feel – and be controlled by the elephant. The elephant does not tell us what is good. It tells us only how to compete in small bands of hunter gatherers. (Yes I am riffing off the obvious)

    (FB 1549251148 Timestamp) SPENCER IN DEFENSE, PUNCHING RIGHT (FAIL) According to Richard: 1 – We aren’t going to have an uprising. (Its actionable, and testable. Except you already blew the opportunity.) 2 – An uprising can’t win. (except the state is certain we can, and the plan is actionable and criticizable.) 3 – A constitution won’t help us (Except that it’s actionable and criticizable) Instead… 4 – We need a new elite (Magic!!!! Yeah? Who?) 5 – We need a new spiritual awakening (Magic!!! With what? Inactionable.). Richard’s solution???? Wait some more until magic happens….. When you have crashed and burned and have nothing but empty wishful thinking, and ‘wait and see for a new messiah’ you clearly need to punch right to try to stay relevant. PROVIDE A SOLUTION, PROVIDE INCENTIVE, PEOPLE WILL ACT AND LEADERS WILL EMERGE DURING ACTION. 1 – A moral license (replacement, impoverishment) 2 – A set of demands (constitution) 3 – A plan of transition (incremental devolution) 4 – A means of altering the status quo (fragility) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tkejEvqhy4

They are all picking up the wrong historical examples to argue the point that “we can’t win.” … They aren’t seeing the new battle space, so they are getting it wrong. … A post comparing and contrasting examples of 4GW with earlier forms of conflict might be goods for a lot of us.”— Daniel Roland Anderson
