    (FB 1551655186 Timestamp) THE LEFT AND THE OVERTON WINDOW GAG —“You ever see those gag videos where they rig of a backpack or a bike with a wire to a solid anchor then wait for someone to steal it? They take off running or peddling then get blasted off their feet when the wire runs out. I’ll admit to some chuckling imaging the lefties I know experiencing the emotional equivalent.”—Luke Weinhagen

    (FB 1551638509 Timestamp) DON”T DEMONSTRATE YOUR INCOMPETENCE BY PUNCHING RIGHT. You’re punching against what you understand as trivial violations in loyalty or solidarity, because it’s all you have the intellectual capacity of doing. And because it’s the only thing others with the same limited intellectual capacity will respond to. What you aren’t doing is punching against the enemy and then defending yourself – because you lack the intellectual capacity and knowledge to defend yourself. When you punch at Cantwell you’re jerking off. You would fold under pressure from the system. Everyone does. You would out people on your side who had undermined you. Everyone does. If you don’t t hink so you’re too inexperienced in the real world of real consequences to have an opinion. You can punch at and Peterson (soyboys) for counter signaling ethnocentrism – despite the science says it’s the optimum. You can punch Molyneux (potential men) if he overstaps into denial. But punching Others for not taking the next step is just stupid. They are just a sales funnel for slowly dragging people into the fold. I punch against ideas. I punch at specific libertarians and christians in general terms because they are allies of our ((())) ancient enemy. I try to avoid the punching right as much as possible unless someone punches me first. Be smart. Be strong. Be an army. Punch Left. Guilt Center. Don’t punch right. #post

    (FB 1551721702 Timestamp) TERRITORIAL DIFFERENCES POST THREE ON POLITICAL THEORY Apr 25, 2016, 12:35 PM What are the first things one should know in political theory?

    1. The first question of ethics is ‘Why don’t I kill you and take your stuff?’.
    2. The first question of politics is “Why don’t me and mine kill you and yours and take your stuff?”

    3. The first question of group evolutionary strategy is “How can we either kill them and take their stuff, or prevent them from killing us and taking our stuff?”

    4. The answer to all three questions is the same: “Because **cooperating in a division of labor **is productive and can continue to produce mutual returns while conflict is costly and and results only in net consumption. Over time those who cooperate have more numbers, are healthier, have better industry, technology, and warfare than those who don’t.
    5. So, how do we organize group evolutionary strategy, politics, ethics, production and reproduction, so that we can out-compete, or at least say at pace with, competitors, given the people, their abilities, the territory and its resources that are at our disposal?
    6. Answering this question requires facing a very unpleasant fac****t, that the problem we face is** human capital **(talents) and that every person at the bottom of the curve drastically reduces the effectiveness of every person at the middle and top of the curve. In other words, it matters more that you don’t have impulsive, aggressive, idiots than it does that you have calm geniuses. So by and large nations in colder climates were more successful at killing off the undesirables through winters and starvation, than those in the warmer climates.
    7. So we see many different group evolutionary strategies dependent upon human capital, territory, and resources. The most obvious are

    * the hierarchical and authoritarian irrigated flood-river valleys * the aggressive tribal steppe and desert regions * the egalitarian forest and river regions. * the equalitarian polar peoples * Each of these main groups produce different political systems in order to make use of the territory and means of production available to them. Those that do not make good use of territory and means are displaced, conquered, or exterminated by those that do. * All groups require: * A method of organizing reproduction (usually marriage) * A method of organizing production (an economy) * A method of organizing norms (usually religion/education) * A method of producing commons (government) * A method of holding territory (army) * There are two economic poles available and all make use of one part of the spectrum or another, and all economies resulting in some variant on the mixed economy: * Propertarian / Libertarian / Capitalist / High Trust / High Innovation – Why? No corruption in theory. Incentives work. But no competitive commons are produced, so it doesn’t work. * Mixed Economy of Consumer capitalism with some authoritarian commons production. Incentives work and commons possible. * Authoritarian / Totalitarian / Socialist / Low Trust / Low Innovation – Why? high corruption, no incentives, and it doesn’t work. * All governments are corrupt but if a people are successful at implementing rule of law it is possible to protect the economy using the courts from excessive interference by the government monopoly. * The method of deciding ( making excuses for ) which commons is produced rather than some other commons is a matter of local dispute. But it is actually a question of competition with other states, and it is only very wealthy states that choose luxuries rather than necessities. * That is about all there is to political theory.

    (FB 1551717873 Timestamp) THE ONE SOURCE OF SOVEREIGNTY, LIBERTY, AND FREEDOM Sovereignty, Liberty, and Freedom are produced by one means, and one means only: the organized application of violence by a sufficient percentage of ordinary men, to prevent any and all alternative conditions. The law of sovereignty constitutes the logic by which that sovereignty, liberty, and freedom are preserved. An independent judiciary under the natural law of sovereignty preserves that one law of sovereignty until it no longer does. and at that point there is no recourse but those men who demand that sovereignty, liberty, and freedom regardless of cost.
