    —“the simplest way for a libertarian to support natural rights in his own society is to support a savage police crackdown on crime. For instance, by reimposing the standards and practices of the Victorian law-enforcement system, certainly both available and practical.”— Mencius Moldbug

  • When Did The Us Become Such A Litigious Country?

    THIS IS A GOOD BUT MISUNDERSTOOD QUESTION

    America practices the common law of anglo saxon origin, in which all things are permitted except that which is extant in law.

    This is different from the rest of the world’s model – especially the Napoleonic – in which only that which is in law, is permitted.

    So what you see in Europe is a lot more regulation, and fewer legal disputes, and a lot less risk taking and experimentation. Whereas in America we have more risk taking and experimentation, and more litigation. 

    Frankly, the evidence is that our method is better.

    Where the government and law has fallen down is the laws of banking, credit and interest, in which the consumer is not sufficiently protected from an asymmetry of power, information, and incentives. 

    In my (hopefully) informed opinion, this is the central question we must address (consumer protection from financial predation) not our preference for consequent common law, versus antecedent legislative law.

    Only high trust societies can practice consequent common law.  THis is the anglo world’s greatest asset.  And we should never abandon it thinking that we understand it’s import or lack of.

    It is perhaps the greatest competitive advantage of our people.

    http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2015/01/our-white-common-law/”Despite what … neoconservatives and …. conservatives would have us believe (e.g., here), ordered liberty existed in Europe prior to our forefathers’ adoption of Judeo-Christianity, and our contemporary legal system arguably has significantly more in common with the legal ideals of pagan Europe than anything coming out of the Levant in ancient or modern times. Simply said, the proposal that Judeo-Christian law constitutes the basis of modern American law is nothing more than a propagandist fiction—that is, the European conceptualization of rights and obligations was formed independent of and not because of Judeo-Christianity. Virtually all legal procedures and rights in use and recognized, respectively, today are of European and not Judeo-Christian origin.” http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/…/our-white-common-law/

  • Love of Architecture: If we added the single constitutional requirement that all

    Love of Architecture: If we added the single constitutional requirement that all public buildings, all public infrastructure, must be constructed of man-portable, hand-laid materials, then we could both absorb vast amounts of low skilled labor, and return to the production of monumental artworks that last for generations. And we could escape the era of disposable panel-products constructed with machines, that insult us with their very presence. Architecture is our monument: it demonstrates that we improve the land we occupy. It marks the land as ours. It demonstrates our love for it – and for each other. Art evolved as we understand it, to decorate our architectural monuments, public demonstrating our love of man, for what man is capable of with his hands, and such art can only be constructed within arts that were themselves constructed by the hand of man. The devolution of art was both a marxist intention – to destroy our heroic aristocratic traditions, and the product of post-war panel products and industrialization of architecture: industrialization of our monuments. Industrialization of our arts. But it is easily reversible. And no man who builds a monument to his people with his hands, will tolerate insult to the his efforts, the monument, of the sentiment that he contributed to, and constructed, with is own hands. We own what we invest in. And we will not defend that which we do not own.

  • Rule of Law Is Sacred to Western Man

    –“our prophet is sacred to us”– [R]ule of law is more sacred than our lives. Rule of law requires we speak, and understand the truth, not myth. The reason for the velocity of western advancement in all fields is that we tell the truth whether it hurts or not, whether it offends or not – a man must earn respect by speaking the truth, not myth – rather than receive respect for his folly. Western man has systematically eliminated error from man’s mind by demanding the truth in all walks of life. As a political question then, why does a man have a right to believe false things? We cannot stop him from his beliefs in false things, but we can stop him from spreading his beliefs in false things. We can prevent it from his speech. We can prevent it from his publications. We can prevent it from his commerce, his law, and his politics. The source of western exceptionalism is truth telling – even if it hurts. Muslims living in the west are not given special privilege to escape our most sacred value: truth.
