  • Republic Existed to Create the Perfect Structure

    Oct 5, 2019, 12:10 PM

    —“The Founding Fathers had a similar goal [to Doolittle]. They believed a republic existed to create the perfect structure where a man could pursue virtue, or was free to pursue virtue, explicitly rejecting any hedonistic concepts of “freedom”. They did not consider any form of democracy fit for non-virtuous men who did not have virtue as their primary goal. That it would descend into chaos. A complete monarchy populated by virtuous men is far preferable to a democracy infested with unprincipled degenerates. As we’re observing, in real time.”—James Louis LaSalle

    Oct 5, 2019, 7:23 PM As far as I know the argument over the militia was only whether we be trained or not, and the debate as one of cost not existence. The result of which was that being armed with practice one or twice a year was enough – if affordable. It was never a question of our bearing arms.

  • Ending Leftism Is a Matter of Ending Parasitism by Law

    Oct 6, 2019, 5:30 PM Of the choices we could make to end the current politio-demographic conflict turning into civil war includes:

    (a) multi-ethnicity (genetic homogeneity, (b) multi-culturalism (cultural homogeneity), (c) democratic process (universal access to political power), (d) or political ideology (Dysgenic or Eugenic), the most obvious choice is to end leftism as a political preference, and frustrate the undermining of western civilization. And ending leftism is a matter of ending parasitism by law. The rest will follow if leftism isn’t legally possible, and is even illegal speech. The market will serve its purposes. Now, I suspect that we will end democratic process as well. And this well end mutli-culturalism. And this will end immigration. But mutli-ethincity would remain, even if by neighborhood, or city, or state, or region. My understanding is that without subsidy immigration dries up and reverses. But the urban rich and poor, suburban-rural middle will continue. By definancializing the system we restore the balance between urban-high-low vs the middle.

  • Why the American Model “worked”

    Oct 10, 2019, 6:03 PM by James Louis LaSalle Law is the glue that holds American society and culture together; we are not inherently smarter, nor do we have better natural resources than other countries. What we do have is an idea, that we’re infused with our entire lives: respect for the rule of law. We go to court, we pay our fines, we show up for jury duty, the vast majority of defendants out on bond turn themselves in for their sentences, rather than flee. And it’s just an idea. Kansas City, Missouri has around 500,000 people. It has a police force of 1100 officers, working in three shifts. At any given time, there’s perhaps 300 officers on duty. Policing half a million people. It’s only possible in a society where the citizens respect other citizens’ persons, property, and space. The govt’s primary purpose is to provide me infrastructure to enhance my ability to generate income, purchase property, and protect those activities from other citizens, other countries, and the govt itself. It actually does this so well that we dwell on trivial issues, like who has to bake who a cake. Which is actually pretty awesome when you think about it. Our system isn’t implemented with force. It’s there, lurking in he background, but it isn’t the prime mover. The IDEA of the rule of law is the prime mover. It’s why Americans find concepts like “sanctuary cities”, where the rule of law is suspended, utterly infuriating. I would say it’s one of the single greatest factors in the election of Trump. Nothing offends your regular American more than someone escaping Justice.
