We CAN form a polity under Thick libertarianism, as long as luxuries are voluntarily constructed, requiring voluntary participation, rather than mandated. 2) Aristocratic Egalitarian / Scientific libertarianism is necessary and sufficient for the formation of a voluntary polity in the absence of the state. It is both rationally and scientifically formulated. We CAN form a polity under aristocratic egalitarianism. 3) Thin / Ghetto / libertine / Brutalist libertarianism is necessary but INSUFFICIENT for the formation of a voluntary polity in the absence of the state. It is rationally but not scientifically formulated. And furthermore, would be the target of conquest and oppression by all nearby polities. We CANNOT form a polity under rothbardian, ghetto, libertinism. So this particular provocateur is doing his moral duty in the pursuit of a state of liberty. I do not care whether we choose luxuries or not. But we have no option to choose a libertine / Ghetto / Thin polity. It is irrational to construct one on transaction costs alone. It is unsurvivable given external hostility to all groups who have demonstrated ghetto ethics: (Gypsies and pre-modern Jews the most common examples). Cheers. An admitted Provocateur. PS: The revolution in Ukraine would not have been possible if it were not for the risks taken by the Right Sector. Most people (like rothbardians) are free riders. They won’t participate until there isn’t any risk.

RUSSIAN PSEUDOSCIENCE? What is the deal with Russian penchant for pseudoscience?
RUSSIAN PSEUDOSCIENCE?
What is the deal with Russian penchant for pseudoscience? It’s like the jewish penchant for pseudo-philosophy. Is it some sort of fear of ignorance that requires nonsensical explanations of physical phenomenon? A sort of dominance of ignorance? You know, Russian diplomas are worth shit in the west. And pseudoscience is the reason.
Not that western social pseudoscience is any better by the way.

A MONTH OF BRIBES: UKRAINE
So we paid a bribe friday to a policeman. Saturday to a policeman. Today to an immigration officer. And a month ago to a customs officer. The policemen were men. The other two were women. The women cost $400 each and the policemen $20 each. To arrange the bribes took another $400.
Mind you. In immigration, we bribed people to simply do their jobs. In the other cases we bribed them to do their jobs rationally. But none of these bribes are to evade crime. They are bribes to minimize corruption.
If the common law and universal standing were in place, we could sue these people. But there is no rule of law in Ukraine or russia.

THE GREAT DECEPTION : THE FALLACY OF AGGRESSION Aggression is a deception. A con
THE GREAT DECEPTION : THE FALLACY OF AGGRESSION
Aggression is a deception. A convenient libertine ruse, to define property as that which is aggressable against, rather than property as that which people instinctually defend, as a violation of the terms of cooperation necessary for any species that does cooperate: free riding.
Aggression by definition legalizes unethical and immoral actions. As such it is, incontestably, the definition of LIBERTINISM , and NOT libertarianism.
I really can’t understand how we were misled by this fallacy for so long. Other than out of desperation and natural cognitive biases endemic to the autistic end of the spectrum.
Liberty is like truth: there is always more of it to be had, as we constantly innovate our means of cooperation. It’s not a state. It’s a process.
It is a lie, a deceptoin, a fraud, a moral crime against men who whish to be free, to perpetuate the fallacy that property is defined by aggression rather than transgression defined by property.
The means of transgression is immaterial.
The only rule we need is property.
The origin of property is the prevention of free riding.
Free riding, as in, the imposition of costs, the imposition of involutary transfer, or any other means other than the fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange of property.
Period.
Rothbard is dead. His ideas are dead. His movement is dead. And we should spit on his grave for the damage he has done.
Aristocratic Egalitarianism:
1) Property rights are obtained by reciprocal insurance of one anther’s property by the promise of violence to defend it.
2) Property is that which humans demonstrate as their property: that which they act to obtain by homesteading or voluntary exchange, with the expectation of possession.
3) Morality is objective and is prohibition on the transgression of the property of another : the necessary prohibition on free riding for any cooperative organism.
4) The law must sufficiently mirror known morality at any given time to suppress demand for an authority to suppress immoral actions, or the violence that results from immoral actions.
Welcome to aristocracy. We take all comers. But not libertines. They’re free riders. Immoral and unethical by definition.

Diseases are the best weapon ever.
Fragility created by exceeding the limits of the institutions of cooperation from providing correct information and therefore incentives, followed, by shocks that collapse the fragile system.
(Dear fragility makers. We are coming for you. And there is nothing you can do to stop it.)

PATRIOTISM Reverse Patriotism is no better an excuse for irrational and morally
http://www.forbes.com/sites/paulroderickgregory/2014/05/11/inside-putins-campaign-of-social-media-trolling-and-faked-ukrainian-crimes/REVERSE PATRIOTISM
Reverse Patriotism is no better an excuse for irrational and morally blind behavior, justification of immoral action, and immoral inaction, than is the absurd expansionary patriotism of the Neocons. Hating the state does not justify looking for excuses to hate the state, nor applying selection bias, and every other cognitive bias possible to justify your hatred. It does not mean justifying the lunatic fringe, nor abandoning reason and morality. You cannot both call the Neocons stupid and immoral and at the same time support Putin’s expansionism.
The only moral violent political action is self determination in pursuit of freedom. Both of those properties must exist at the same time – self determination AND liberty. One cannot morally pursue the construction of corruption, even if it benefits yourself, by means of self determination. One can only morally pursue freedom and non-corruption via self determination.
Facts are facts, Reverse Patriotism as Justification is not honest, moral, or rational. It is aiding and abetting the usurpation of liberty. Period. Without exception. WIthout justification.
Ukrainians sought to shed russian oppression once again, and evicted one of the demonstrably, factually, most corrupt politicians in the world. Russia, in fear of contagion of the revolt, violated the territorial integrity of another nation, and stole a vast portion of the country via armed conquest.
Ukrainians in all parts of the country, in every independent survey, demonstrate a supermajority desire to retain their independence as a sovereign nation. Period.
Meanwhile the Russian state, through state media, has hired THOUSANDS of people to conduct a disinformation media campaign, and a social media campaign, to fabricate news, spread it, support it in social media, and to overwhelm opponents by sheer numbers.
The Guardian alone has to edit out cut 40,000 of these posts a day, and they only remove the fraction that they are certain are part of the state sponsored campaign by russians to fabricate news for consumptoin by well meaning fools.
We are all aware that the media creates consensus, it does not arbitrate it. And the russians, copying the germans from ww2, have done so.
I am an anti-universalist, pro-ethnonationalist, because I believe that is the most likely means by which peole will be free. I advocate the overthrow of the american and european governments. And I am an advocate of even the rather foolish russian people, who I love.
But corruption is corruption is corruption, and conquest is conquest, and I know the difference between the pursuit of freedom, and the pursuit of tyranny.
And if you do not, you are not sufficiently wise to call yourself other than a libertine. Although I will refer to you in private as an anti-social, reverse patriot, full of loathing for societies that clearly reject you, and you them.
