    NATIONAL SOCIALISM WAS A DISASTER

    by Daniel Gurpide

    National-Socialism was “not that bad” compared to the economic chaos and civil-war spirit which characterized the Weimar Republic; otherwise, it was a disaster:

    -The NS economic recipe (Keynesianism+Autarky+Welfare State) made military expansionism (Lebensraum) unavoidable.

    -Pan-Germanism necessarily provoked Pan-Slavism and the rest of fratricidal petty nationalisms. Only after Stalingrad did the III Reich raise the flag of Europe (the only reality with potential historically to mobilise the European population) when everything was already lost.

    -Eugenics, a promising movement which had taken root in most Western countries, was forced to a halt due to the pseudo-scientific misuse of genetics and racial studies by NS Germany.

    -Aryanism, an eminently aristocratic project, was trampled under plebeian foot.

    Is there anything to be rescued from the Hitlerian adventure?

    SURE, BUT WERE THEY WRONG? (FALSE?)

    by Daniel Gurpide

    I would argue that German morality has historically led to catastrophic political decisions:

    -Luther, the German Reformation and the subsequent European wars of religion.

    -Kant, German Idealism, and Pan-Germanism (the wars for the unification of Germany, I & II World Wars).

    -Modern secular German religion, i.e: National-Masochism (the refugee crisis of 2015, Brexit and the subsequent collapse of the EU maybe sometime in the near future if present trends continue?)

    History is obviously not monocausal, but German hyper-morality was the necessary, if not sufficient, condition for the development of these historical events.

    “Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus” (Let justice be done, though the world perishes) was Kant’s motto.

    One cannot conduct politics with categorical imperatives. Germany ends up always irritating everyone: Brits, Americans, Scandinavians, Dutch, French, Italian, Poles, Russians, etc. It is no coincidence.

    —“If such a trajectory ends in the near destruction of the human species and the planet, what lessons should the survivors inherit? It seems you’re largely in agreement with many the historical/factual claims of left/feminist scholarship. You simply advocate the power and privilege they despise.”— Skye Stewart

    (a) What trajectory? Markets in Everything?

    (b) What have the other trajectories achieved? By civilization. Comparatively? What about the difference between the modern age, the middle christian age, and the ancient age? And how did we exit the christian age?

    (c) Power and privilege? You mean, the power to prevent parasitism and require trade? The Power to PREVENT over-reproduction?

    I don’t disagree with marxists or the feminists on fact so much as value and institutions. As far as I can tell it’s just an r/k argument over dysgenic expansion and regression or eugenic expansion and progress.

    Certainly at present, all challenges to the human race are the product of over-reproduction of the sub 100’s.

    I mean, it’s roughly mathematical: what population can consume continued increasing percentages of the energy capacity of the planet (using say, solar terms)?

    Or said differently, how can we keep increasing individual consumption of energy while preserving the carrying capacity of the planet – especially given that we are in a ‘quiet period’ of astro-geological activity – and at what point do we reach equilibration (limits).

    I’ll suggest that I’m not the first person to think this through, and that the number of that population is a lot closer to one billion than it is to ten billion – a fact that will become obvious with the next economic-generational cycle.

    So whose strategy is more likely to end the world: the r-strategy of dysgenic reproduction of the k-strategy of eugenic reproduction? What problems do we currently face that are not problems of overpopulation? Why should we invest energy in more bodies (greater consumption) than in fewer bodies and greater innovation and production?

    There is only one extant problem facing man: the ratio of rates of population to rates of depletion of energy reserves.

    THE EASE OF A CONTEMPORARY REVOLUTION

    You don’t need much. A couple of like minded hellions. A pickup truck is best because it can go anywhere. Some heavy chains. An axe or sledge hammer. Cold chisel, and crow bar. A bolt cutter. A knife, a sidearm, and a rifle. It’s not like we’re going camping. It’s not like we’re in Afghanistan. The entire country is flooded with weapons, tools, food, and money. By the simple act of supplying our numbers. A few hundred or a few thousand men in a few distributed groups, with all of the above, that stays mobile, and makes relatively unpredictable in target choices, achieves through self sufficiency what others attempt to achieve by intent. Command and control is trivial today. The era of marching in the streets is over. The era of rebellion is over. Because with economic velocity comes civilizational fragility. The squirrel cage of your people’s suicide must keep spinning at all times or the whole edifice will crash. The real problem is whether you yourself are a first mover when called upon, or whether you wait for others to do the first wave and then free ride on their achievements. In other words, the question is whether you are a warrior or a cheerleader.

  • GOOD FOR MANKIND? What’s good for mankind? What’s good for mankind? Just the opp

    GOOD FOR MANKIND?

    What’s good for mankind? What’s good for mankind? Just the opposite of what we do for the commercial short term good: exterminate everyone in every civlization under 106. That’s what’s good for mankind. And it isn’t even open to possible criticism. Because it’s very hard to imagine any meaningful problems remain if we do that. We can do mankind even better, and take it up to 112 or 115, at which point the young and old are fully employable in productive capacity from birth to death. Or up to 125 where mysticism is no longer in demand. You know we will be able to engineer super-humans fairly soon. But it doesn’t help if a minority of super humans (>135) are held down by a plurality of ordinary humans, (>90) and a dearth of subhumans (<90). Now. I’m not recommending that we do what’s objectively good for mankind. I’m simply saying live and let live. But that means, those of us who WANT to live without the burdens of the dead weight of sub-humans and near-humans, have a choice of separating and living and let live – or we have a choice of exterminating, letting us live and others not. Or we have a choice of being overwhelmed by the subhumans. … Now, I”m perfectly happy being accused of casting people as subhuman as long as people are happy casting people as equal. When all the evidence is that the opposite is true.

    You know, I said all this would happen. I said they couldn’t course correct. I said WHY they couldnt’ course correct. And I was right that Ballmer was the reason it wouldn’t be able to course correct. There is no replacement generation.

    They cannot buy a way into competency. Microsoft management culture and organizational cultures is Toxic.

    Not gonna happen. It won’t be a decline like Kodak, but it will be a decline like Xerox. And for the greater seattle area it will make the Boeing debacle in the 70’s look like a bad hair day.
