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.

—“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

Correct. My understanding is that the constitution consists of the declaration, Paine’s Rights (if not all of it), the federalist papers, The Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and it goes rapidly downhill from there. Much less ‘interpretation’ when all of these are read. https://twitter.com/NotQuiteLaconic/status/1180244350732832770

The constintution articulated in english an system of traditional law that was thousands of years old. Unfortunately like most of our upper class thought little of it was written.

Good. Thank you. Dissident Right. Except I wouldn’t put myself in any of those categories. Beacuse I see my work as simply jeffersonian anglo saxon rule of law. I see myself as a constitutionalist. Hmm…

|PROCESS|Traditional Law (Constitutionalism) > Utility > Postwar Morality > Economics > Obama-chaos > Decline > Civil War. [W]e didn’t have a ‘bible’ of western civ beyond which no man may tread. That’s the beginning of the problem: tradition vs articulation of the science under our tradition. We didn’t organize against neoliberalism. We had no scientific answer to neo-liberalism (neo-marxism). We won against marxism simply by its demonstrated failure. We didn’t organize against immigration like we did against communism. That’s the problem first problem. We didn’t organize to achieve against islamic fundamentalism as we organized against communism. That’s the problem. Without immigration we would have won (a) Rule of law (b) economics, (c) social norms (d) religion and education. The only reason we lost so far is women voting, that suppressed the ability of men to defend against women’s voting patterns.

—“One of the common themes we see from some people who countersignal us is often they seem to pooh-pooh law as a solution and think that everything can be solved with some sort of aesthetic or spiritual movement. These guys are often young. I see them as just looking for a solution within a frame they understand and that is intuitive to them. In contrast to some of the more mature people who have a spiritual bent but also recognize the importance of punishment (law) and that not everything can be accomplished only with persuasion.”— John Mark
