    None of us take Australia or Canada any more seriously than we take the girl whose father pays for everything seriously. It’s nice that she gets to live that way but it has nothing to do with her or her judgements and everything to do with the aggressive use of dominance in business, industry, war and politics by her father and his father, and his before him.

    It’s actually painful to listen to Australians, Canadians, and american Urbanites, (As well as many urban brits). All trust fund babies trying to signal their high mindedness because they have no achievements to point to of their own.

  • Conservatism must speak in historical, moral, allegorical, and religious languag

    https://www.quora.com/Why-is-neo-progressivism-so-reliant-upon-the-re-appropriation-of-Marxist-doctrine-and-Critical-Theory/answer/Curt-Doolittle?srid=u4Qv&share=aafd25ea1) Conservatism must speak in historical, moral, allegorical, and religious language because if stated ratio-scientifically it’s reducible to ‘eugenics in everything’, just as all of western civilization has been since the Kurgan invasions. So conservatives do not lie they just do not speak the truth.

    2) Neo-Liberalism is just an attempt to turn america into the levant or south america so that an upper managerial caste can form and profit from administration of a vast underclass, just as the cosmopolitans did in eastern Europe before migrating to the states. They cannot say this. And there is no way to speak truthfully. Since they failed at pseudo-rational marxist religion, pseudoscientific economics and social science, and just gave up advocacy and started attacking western civilization at every level (cultural marxism / postmodernism / the frankfurt school).

    Democracy creates incentives to lie. Rule of law (constitutionalism) creates incentives to tell the truth. But conservatives don’t tell the truth, and neo-liberals just lie.

    Humans are vastly unequal and our evolution has been 5x that of the difference between humans and chimpanzees over the past 30k years alone. These differences are largely visible as differences in rates of maturity, depth of maturity, and sexual dimorphism, and the relative sizes of the lower and upper classes.

    This means that conservatism is true but a large domestic empire is impossible. It means that progressivism is false, and that a large domestic empire will produced colored casts very much like india with little or no rotation.

    Everyone lies.

    The only solution is to break up the empire and continue the BIG SORT.

  • WHY THE USA FASCINATION WITH EXPORTING DEMOCRACY —“Why does the US government

    https://t.co/TlhDQTLWsxQ&A: WHY THE USA FASCINATION WITH EXPORTING DEMOCRACY

    —“Why does the US government insist on making other countries be democratic?”—

    THE COMPLETE ANSWER

    The world wars dramatically changed western civilization to which we said ‘never again’. This has driven American policy since world war one. American treats Europe as a set of petulant client states that are incapable of self-rule. This is not new. Americans have believed this of Europeans since the founding of the country.

    THE POSTWAR POLICY

    1) We cannot allow countries to attempt to use border expansion to increase wealth.

    2) We will force all countries to focus on internal development of consumer capitalism, human rights, because this will eliminate any need for inter-state conflict, and it will generate economic ties that will make conflict undesirable and expensive.

    3) All people will rationally choose consumer capitalism if given the ability to choose their own government, because everyone wants to consume, and all people wish to be free.

    4) Therefore we will support the will of all people to establish a democratic, consumer,capitalist society.

    AND THE BIG, UNSTATED, “HOWEVER”

    5) if people choose poorly and institute a government that violates these ambitions we will punish that government and those people until they make the correct, peaceful choice.

    SO WHAT’S THE PROBLEM

    1) is a good idea

    2) is a good idea

    3) is absolutely false, and incomprehensibly ignorant. consumer capitalism and democracy are very, very, limited goods, after which both are destructive to family, culture, and civilization.

    4) is what the states does because it is wrong about 3.

    5) is the consequence of doing 4, while still under the illusion of 3.

    THE USA IS A GOOD INSURER. BUT A BAD DIRECTOR.

  • are the US political party manifestos?— THE MOST ACCURATE AND COMPLETE STATEME

    https://t.co/mcYRlaw9qG—Where are the US political party manifestos?—

    THE MOST ACCURATE AND COMPLETE STATEMENT YOU WILL FIND.

    The left’s manifesto has been public for over a century, and is represented in the ten planks. And the left has been successful and (a) a complete canon of pseudoscience in the social sciences (b) conquest of the primary education and secondary education systems, (c) conquest of the media, and entertainment businesses (d) invasive immigration of the underclasses, (e) financialization of the economy (f) systematic intentional destruction of our constitution of natural law, by selective advocacy of cases that expose the weaknesses in created by the initial draft’s compromise with the southern states, and the violations of natural law added to the constitution after the conquest and defeat of the southern states.

    The right’s manifesto CANNOT be made public under majoritarian democracy since the right’s program is entirely EUGENIC. There is a reason the right speaks metaphorically and morally – if they spoke scientifically it would be challenging.

    Now, the right (as usual) is ‘right’. But its unacceptable under democracy to state that the entire reason we lifted Europe out of ignorance and poverty was that northern Europe like greco-roman civilization was terribly meritocratic, and northern Europe additionally heavily eugenic.

    The puritans who founded the USA were pursuing a eugenic strategy.

    BELIEF IN LIBERTARIAN MODELS DOESN”T MATTER, SURVIVAL FROM COMPETITION DOES.

    Which libertarian model do you believe in?

    Remember that the way you test a theory is not way finding to justify it but like composing a novel throwing obstacles in front of to see if it can survive.

    It does not matter what we believe. It matters only what order can survive in completion with other orders.

    Libertarians spend a lot of time discussing the best taste, but no one has yet succeeded in baking a libertarian cake.

    There is a reason why libertarians discuss belief and taste and not action and recipe.

    It’s because any attempt to construct the recipe informs the analyst that it cannot result in such a cake.

    Libertarianism like socialism and neoconservatism is just a utopian secular religion and not an institutional model that can survive competition in a market for polities.

    We talk about markets but we do not model our own intellectual product by the same standard.
