They might get a trigger event for the civil war out of gun control proposals. I know they’re just dissipating public energy but this is not getting through And if they try we have an organization that will drive the end of the discourse.
Just remember that as we march deterministically to bloody civil war, that during and after, they’re going to hold YOU culpable. They have a saying “traitors first” and that boils down almost entirely to politicians, journalists, and activists. If there is a list, you’re on it.

You mean, YOU want a DIFFERENT constitutional crisis by reversing the will of the people, and thereby demonstrating that there is no law settled matter, no vote meaningful, no legislation durable, no rule of law, and subject to party whim and will? Dictatorship?
@mitchellvii So are you ignorant, idealistic, dishonest or all of the above?

ON ITALY’S NEED FOR SEPARATION by Francesco Principi
In Italy, the constant increase in public debt, the unstoppable economic decline, the moral breakdown of the ruling class, the political vacuum that has been happening for four decades now, pose the question of productive areas.
The North of the Peninsula with the awareness of being not only the most productive part of the country, but also the most damaged by the current institutional organizations.
The real fracture in Italy is not between the right and the left, but between those who filled the bag and those who emptied it, between those who produced taxes and those who consumed them.
The division is easily identifiable from a geographical point of view, in short, between North and South. In fact, beyond the current rhetoric, after more than a century and a half since unification, the two parts of the country still seem extremely distant.
For the centralized and Jacobin Italian state the question is simple in its essence: that underground river of money that flows constantly towards the south must not be interrupted. In fact, each year more than 85 billion euros leave the northern and central-northern regions and end up feeding unproductive consumption and political rents in the South.
This fact is destroying the most productive part of the Peninsula and prevents the economic and cultural development of southern Italy, which through its subsidized economy represents an inexhaustible resource of votes and consents.
ANGLOS HAVE LOST PARITY WITH ASHKENAZI SINCE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION DUE TO DYSGENIC REPRODUCTION: 13.9 IQ POINTS. from 113/114->100, or 1.21 IQ PER DECADE

HIGHLIGHTS •We respond to a quartet of critical commentaries on Woodley et al. (2013) • We show inspection time is not a Jensen effect, unlike simple reaction time • We reanalyse data and recover dysgenic trends in simple RT • The meta-regression involving just US and UK studies shows a 13.9 IQ point decline •Emphasis should be on testing new predictions not purely methodological criticism
Abstract Previously Woodley, te Nijenhuis and Murphy (2013) tested the hypothesis that Victorian era British and American samples exhibited higher g on average than relatively more modern populations sampled from the US, UK, Canada, Australia and Finland, using measures of simple visual reaction time in a meta-analytic study.
Based on 13 age-matched studies from Western countries conducted between 1884 and 2004 yielding 16 data points we estimated a decline of − 13.35 IQ points. Here we respond to a quartet of critical commentaries on our paper penned by five prominent intelligence researchers (James Flynn, Theodore Nettelbeck, Irwin Silverman, Julia Dodonova and Yuri Dodonov).
We show via various reanalyses of the data and also via careful consideration of the arguments presented that the original finding of a potential secular decline in simple reaction time performance is robust.
A recurrent criticism of our finding stems from earlier work showing no secular trends with respect to inspection time over a 20-year period in Australia despite the possibility of co-occurring dysgenic fertility.
We deal with this via the method of correlated vectors, which reveals the presence of a ‘genetic g’ common factor on which simple RTs, WAIS g loadings and subtest heritabilities load positively and significantly, but on which inspection time does not load.
This indicates that inspection times are associated with local information processing, unlike simple reaction times, which are associated with global processing (i.e. g).
The robustness of our original finding is best illustrated however by our final meta-regression, in which the use of six methods variance-controlled reaction time means taken from the US and the UK between 1889 and 1993, coupled with a newly-estimated age-matched reference standard deviation, reveal a seemingly robust secular trend towards slowing reaction time in these two countries, which translates into a potential dysgenics rate of − 1.21 IQ points per decade, or − 13.9 points in total between 1889 and 2004.
(… ) We thank our critics for helping us to arrive at a much more precise estimate of the decline in general intelligence.
HIGHLIGHTS • Taiwan genotypic intelligence declined by about 1.19 IQ points per generation. •The decline is much stronger for the younger adult cohort. •Results also show the dysgenic fertility for education and non-cognitive factors.
Abstract This study investigated the current trend of dysgenic fertility in Taiwan. Data on 680 adults aged 35 to 90 years from the Taiwan WAIS-IV norming sample and 980 children aged 2.5 to 7 years from the Taiwan WPPSI-IV norming sample were examined to investigate the relationships between intelligence, education, and fertility. Results revealed that education and intelligence were negatively correlated with fertility, and that the correlations were stronger for females. The genotypic intelligence is estimated to decline by approximately 1.19 IQ points per generation and the decline is much stronger for the younger adult cohort (1.46 IQ points) than for the older adult cohort (1.02 IQ points).
(Note: I’ve seen additional studies since this one, which show at current rates china will lose it’s five to six point advantage within a generation – if it truly has one.)
Evidence of Dysgenic Fertility in China
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.intell.2016.04.001
Highlights •Evidence of dysgenic fertility in China for both intelligence and educational attainment was found. •The strength of recent selection against intelligence rose between the 1960s and the mid-1980s. •The estimated decline owing to dysgenic fertility came out to .31 points per decade between 1986 and 2000.
Abstract The relationship between fertility, intelligence, and education was examined in China using a large sample sourced from the population-representative China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) dataset. For the 1951–1970 birth cohort, the correlation between fertility and gf was −.10. The strength of recent selection against gf in China substantially increased between the 1960s and the mid-1980s. Later (between 1986 and 2000), the speed of decline in gf due to selection stabilized at about .31 points per decade with a slightly downward trend. The total loss from 1971 to 2000 due to dysgenic fertility is estimated to be .75 points. A negative relationship between educational attainment and fertility was additionally found. Both negative relations were stronger for women.
