  • Yes the P-Constitution Serves All of Western Civ

    Mar 3, 2020, 10:29 AM

    —“About the Propertarian Constitution, is it only for the United States of America or all of North America and Europe?”—

    A general constitution, with customizations for the american reformation. It is for any country in western civilization (Or any civilization) – presuming customizations. The political structure – means of producing acts – will vary most depending upon the tastes of the population. And the possible choices are listed. We tend to think government is the subject we should focus on, but it’s really the law, then the economy, then the government. Hopefully our constitution corrects this problem and refocuses us on the law and economics – even though our concept of economics is balance sheet rather than income statement driven so includes culture etc. It’s structured as:

    • The Complaint: The reason for the reformation.

    • The Strategy: the ‘tradition’ of european peoples that explains the entire social system in strictly constructed form.

    • The Law: the law that expresses that tradition (definitions, the law, rights and obligations)

    • The Constitution: the constitution proper, that describes the function of every institution political, social, and familial. It’s possible each country(kingdom), or federation(empire) might want to modify these as they see fit.

    • The Acts: Actions that are specific to the american experiment. Every country or group of countries would replace these and add their own acts

    • The Restitutions: the “restitutions and punishments for crimes against our people”: Every country would replace and add their own restitutions and punishments.

  • Religion Is an Exercise in Herd Management.

    Mar 4, 2020, 10:37 AM RELIGION IS AN EXERCISE IN HERD MANAGEMENT. by Maria Al Masani Makienko Religion is an exercise in herd management. I am a fashion designer who has to herd women. I prefer dealing with religious women as they are less self destructive and therefore less catty and jealous. Voltaire said that if there is no god He should be invented so his servants don’t steal from him. I don’t think Evangelicalism or Christian Zionism is a religion nor has social utility since it produces “trad-thots” and didn’t Jesus, the founder of Christianity say “judge a tree by its fruits.” I agree with looking at various branches of religion based on social utility. I can vouch for Christian Orthodoxy, not just because of my husband but the incredible community it produces in Ottawa from Lebanese, to Ukrainian, to Serbian, Moldavian to Ethiopian and Egyptian: the women are feminine kind and beautiful, men are masculine, warm community that helps each other, healthy strong families. You see similar family health in the Muslim community in Ottawa, and again its from sticking to tradition combined with patriarchy instead of emphasizing progress prevents opening a door for parasites to sabotage.

  • Yang Is a Moron and Here Is the Better Answer

    Mar 4, 2020, 12:07 PM YANG IS A MORON AND HERE IS THE BETTER ANSWER by Curt Doolittle (from early 2018, reposted by Stephen Thomas)

    —“You haven’t articulated your solution in a sound byte 90% of your fans can understand let alone 90% of the general population”—

    There is no comparison. Nationalize mc [Master Card]; Issue one to every citizen over 18; Guarantee minimum $1000 per month to start Then: Distribute liquidity (regulate interest rates) directly to the people rather than thru the financial sector; Distribute 20% of tax revenues to the same means; Eliminate consumer interest, by direct loan from treasury. (requires direct deposit, thereby improving tax collection on cheats) Open medicaid to all. (put private and public in competition) Reduce Social Security to compensate Close the IRS for regular income. Close HUD, ED, Agriculture, Energy. Close All Foreign Bases other than ports. Eliminate corporate taxation on dividends. Nationalize Google, Facebook Twitter and restore freedom of speech. Eliminate hazard pricing and regulate pricing by cell, internet, and telephone, companies. This would gut the government, gut the financial sector; gut immigration, redistribute TRILLIONS a year, and mean the average homeowner would require one working parent, pay off mortgages in 15 years, crash the price of houses and rents, and force businesses to serve customers not banks. It would be the largest redistribution to the ‘working’ class since the roman land reforms. There is no possible better solution. If we had done this when I first recommended it in 2009, all those TRILLIONS would be in the hands of Americans not BANKERS. Yang is making the problem WORSE. It will ALL go to financial, landlord, credit cards. all of it will inflate away. (ST: I really see no reason to not consider this. I could see some push back from right wingers on the Nationalizing, etc. But really what other choice do we have that is actionable? First we need a National Political Divorce before any real change can begin.)

  • Communism vs Islam: Totalitarian Monopolies

    Mar 5, 2020, 9:40 PM by Frank Roman (2103) Communism is governance usurping the House of Religion; Islam is religion usurping the Halls of Governance. The superiority of the State, the Laws of the State, and the Party Leaders being the final authority in Communism, Islam replaces the State with Allah, the State Laws with the Koran and the Hadith, and the Party Leaders with the Imams. In Communism one is expected to fully surrender themselves to the dictates of the State while Islam demands on surrendering themselves to Allah and the defined laws attributed to Allah by Muhammad. Communism grants to the Party Leaders the power to define the desires and rules of the State while Islam gives the power to issue religious edicts known a Fatwas to the Imams. In addition, the Imams also have the power to choose which verses of the Koran, as many are contradictory, the faithful must follow and also interpret the Hadiths and define the actions attributed to Muhammad which are to be imitated by true followers of Islam. Communism fully expected that their form of governance was superior and would inevitably spread throughout the world, even if it needed a little help by conquest when any resisted the march of Communism. Communists defined peace as the lack of opposition thus peace could only be attained once everyone had surrendered and fallen under the control of the World-Wide Communist State. Islam believes it is the final and ultimate religion and fully defines what one must obey to lead a perfect life. Islamic leaders and many of their followers believe that not only is Islam the only true path, but that Islam must be spread, even by the sword, until every single person has surrendered to Allah and follows the edicts of the Imams. Islam divides the world into two states, the World of Islam (Dar al-Islam) and the World of War (Dar al-Harb). In Islam peace is defined as the point at which the entire population of the world follows Islam and fully surrenders to Allah and Islam. Communism often used propaganda and would intentionally misrepresent production in order to guarantee that every quota set was met or exceeded. Misrepresenting and outright falsehoods would be used by Communist countries, especially in negotiations with non-Communist nations and would break treaties whenever it served their purposes. In Islam, all these same attributes are referred to as Taqiyya. In simple English one would define Taqiyya as lying. In a political and more general sense Taqiyya would be considered as propaganda, misrepresentation, or misleading all in an effort to further the aims of Islam, especially in order to gain influence or territories. Further, should one reach a treaty of peace with an Islamic Country, they would refer to the negotiation not to be an actual peace treaty but rather a Hudna. A Hudna is, in truth, a truce negotiated not to exceed ten years and may be broken at any point where the Muslim side feels it then has gained military advantage and will defeat their foe. A Hudna is the only allowance in Islam to be negotiated between Islamic entities and any non-Islamic entities. The only real peace in Islam is the complete and total defeat and surrender of the foes of Islam, thus no such thing as a peace treaty can be negotiated with an Islamic Country. In Communist States the Party Leaders are considered infallible and their rule is absolute. Party Leaders have the power to arbitrarily change the rules and invent charges in order to arrest and remove any persons who are seen as obstructing the State and imprison them in a work camp for life or execute them should they pose a real threat. In Islam the Imams are considered to speak for Allah as his representatives on Earth and as such are infallible. The Imams have the power to arbitrarily change the rules as they see fit and accuse and convict any person who has become troublesome of working against Allah and thus be incarcerated indefinitely or simply executed. The actual difference between Communism and Islam is one of emphasis. Communism is a form of governance that makes the State the highest authority and thus makes worship of the state as a substitute for religion. Islam is a religion that has total rules for all aspects of life including the establishment of a theocracy placing the Imams, Islamic religious leaders, as the rulers, courts, and authority responsible for governance as demanded by their religion. To put it in a nutshell, Communism is governance usurping the House of Religion; Islam is religion usurping the Halls of Governance. Edit

  • The West Is a Better but More Complex Game

    Mar 5, 2020, 9:46 PM Every social order creates a game. Western civlization demands sovereignty – the antithesis of submission. The game is that we must find ways to govern by limits without imposing on sovereignty. So where most civilizations and moral codes are constructed of via positiva directives at the cost of innovation and adaptation, while western civilization is constructed from via negativa prohibitions within the limits of sovereignty at the cost of people coming to harm from their judgements. We play a more complex game. Self Determination, Sovereignty, Possibility of Success or Failure, Status Rewards for Heroism with tolerance, even accolades, for failure for having tried.

  • Prediction

    Mar 5, 2020, 10:24 PM Climate will exacerbate global power shifts, and nothing will be or can be done without dramatic population reduction. Nationalism is the norm and it’s returning in force because (a) there is no possible replacement for the British-cum-American empire of the seas; and (b) because there is no longer any value to globalization of anything now that we have defeated all but islam, and dragged humanity kicking and screaming into the prosperity of modernity against their wishes. All that occurs with globalism is labor wage arbitrage when the fundamental problem is that there is almost nothing left to consume that we want to consume – except more time
