    STATES LIE AND TEACH US TO LIE

    (profound)(at least for me)

    The more I work on the subject of truth, the more I respect our anglo, north sea, and greek ancestors for just how close they were to truth: they were a very scientific civilization.

    And conversely, the more I work on the subject of truth, the more I am convinced that it is because government never really evolved to organized large-scale production, with a need to justify falsehoods as ‘good’.

    The State and State-Production, Propaganda, and Deceit are all interdependent technologies. Whereas partnerships, familial production, the jury, and truth-telling are all interdependent technologies.

    States lie and teach us to lie.

  • Lending Then Repossessing Your Violence

    [I] was born with a wealth of violence. I lend that violence to the state to use on my behalf collective gain. However, should the state no longer work in my interests, or should any man break my contract for cooperation, I reserve my right to withdraw my deposit of violence and use it to both restore cooperation and to restore the state to the pursuit of my interests. It’s not complicated.

    STANGELOOP NRx AND YARVIN

    Here is how it makes sense. if you want to object to a speaker, then gather a petition of not less than 5% of the registered attendees. If you gather that petition, then the speaker AND the signatories are disinvited.

    This stops shenanigans.

    NOTE: I am in favor of violence against gossipers. I mean, Steve Klabnik (the lefty who complained vociferously) advocates use of violence against his opponents. If you have an argument then put one forward. If you want to use gossip, rallying and shaming, then that is not an argument. My agreement to forgo violence is predicated on your limiting yourself to truthful, rational, scientific, argument. If you violate that agreement then I am no longer bound by an agreement to cooperate. And we can have a duel. And if you refuse the duel, then I will just rectify the situation.

    Do you see now why libel, slander, and duel were so important to western development?

    Do you see why gossip, pseudo-morality, pseudo-rationalism, propaganda, and pseudoscience were so effectively used against the west?

    I do.

  • The common good is only so good as it does not drain my family, and helps my fam

    The common good is only so good as it does not drain my family, and helps my family. My family, my clan, my tribe are my life. You may FEEL that some other common good is better, but then, that is just a preference, not a fact.

    I would rather improve the lot and reproduction rates of the more noble families than mine, than I would the reproduction rates and lot of those that are less so. That ismy preference.

    We can achieve my preference without parasitism. But we cannot achieve the progressive dream of dysgenia without parasitism.

    (Russian ridicule of Ukraine)

    I had a lot of childish fun trolling this pro-Putin site today. ๐Ÿ™‚ I am happy to admit it’s childish. I am also happy to admit that it was fun.

    —-

    What’s your point? That we shouldn’t hire foreigners? We have a government saturated with people paid off by the Kremlin. That’s why we’re engaging in lustration – to purge them and their pervasive corruption. So we are hiring foreigners to help with lustration.

    Ukraine has decided it is European. Muscovite Russia has decided it is Mongolian. We all retreat to our roots under pressure. There may be 140M Muscovites, but there are 1B+ westerners, 1B+ Chinese, 1B+ Muslims, and 1B+ Hindus. Russians cannot reform. Russians cannot build a diverse economy. Russia cannot join modernity. We understand the choice. However, we do not want to be prisoners of Russia’s bad decisions.

    Russians are foolish. They could have ruled the world. The west wanted them to. Putin was becoming the most influential man in the world. But instead of just saying ‘no democratic revolution here’ they attacked Ukraine, and broke the postwar consensus. All out of fear of spread of democracy.

    We don’t necessarily think democracy and hedonism are good things either. On the other hand, almost anything is better than ongoing Russian despotism and poverty.

    Haven’t Russians harmed eastern Europe enough for one millennium?

    =======

    Maybe, but trolling you clowns for an afternoon provided endless entertainment for the office. lol

    See your technique is a variation of critique: rallying and shaming. the counter to this strategy is to attack obvious and consistent Russian failures while ignoring your responses. Since Russia produces so many obvious and consistent failures this turns out to be easy. Each Troll’s response is an opportunity to repeat key memes. And we repeat the meme’s over and over again by merely riffing off of whatever the trolls manage to desperately say.

    Russian memes:

    – Russians are the only white people who failed.

    – Russians are poor, ignorant, rude, stupid, bovine morons.

    – Russians are alcoholics who die at an early age.

    – Russians can’t drive across a street without running over two old ladies, a mother and her child.

    – Russians can’t cross the street and use a telephone at the same time.

    – Russians are superstitious conspiracy theories who believe in electromagnetic radiation.

    – Russians are incapable of innovation, but they can copy the germans and the Americans now and then.

    – Russians are worse than the nazis and killed more people than nazis.

    – Russians are the only people to kill more of their own than the enemy.

    – Russians are incapable of self-government, let alone anyone else.

    – Russians are the lowest trust white people.

    – Russians are the most ignorant white people.

    – Russians are the most corrupt white people.

    – Russians are white people’s trailer trash.

    – Russians believe they’re Rus, rather than muscovites – it’s because their envious.

    – Russians are just Mongols who look white.

    – You can take the slut out of the village but you can’t take slut out of the girl.

    etc. the list is endless.

    The Russian strategy is to poison the informational commons (the Internet) so that even though only 50% of Russians have access to the internet, they will disregard it as chaotic, and return to state-sponsored media, rather than to learn the truth: that they live like subsaharan Africans in the opposite temperature extreme. And that they are poor only because of the corruption of their leadership, and its failure to create a diverse economy.

    The set of alliances that the kremlin must keep in competition with one another is complex and tenuous. The black market and drugs are controlled by the FSB. The Chechens are more combat effective than the Russian military. The mafia is required to keep order. And 50% of the country is dependent on oil revenues Layers of corruption are difficult to manage.

    The decisions have been made. NATO will arm the east and re-pivot against Russia. The sanctions will continue. During the next opportunity they will arm both Poland and Turkey. Ukraine will isolate the conquered Donbas region, and without federalization the rest of Ukraine will vote consistently for lustration and membership in Europe It will take ten years to clean the bureaucracy of Russians and Russian plants, but it will be done. And right sector will simply kill them if they don’t do it.

    Meanwhile we’re going to be over here laughing at the ongoing collapse of the economy.

    April was what -4.2%? An employer of 70,000 is bankrupt but the state can’t afford to let it go under? The worst that happens to Ukraine is that it’s a better investment than greece. the worst that happens to Russia is that the lowest populated country per square kilometer is incrementally cut off on all sides by peoples who justifiably hate it.

    I mean, what’s china doing? They’re already taking Siberia back. The Muslims are a few years from taking Moscow.

    Idiots. Could have run the world. Ran like little girls away from the fear of democracy.

  • Where Does The American ‘obsession’ With The Constitution Come From?

    BECAUSE OF THE PRINCIPLE OF “Rule of Law

    The U.S. Constitution sets limits upon what a people in a government can do, and what people in the citizenry can do, that cannot be modified. Under democracy, the ‘rule of law’ has been intentionally modified via propaganda to mean ‘rule by law we agree upon’ so that the government can enact any law that it desires. The american system was designed to make it HARD to pass laws, so that the government could do as little as possible.  And presidents, especially since Franklin D. Roosevelt, have undermined that constitution whenever possible.

    Americans historically operate under the anglo saxon principle of voluntary order: “I will allow the government certain actions for our common good, and disallow the government all other actions. If the government violates those actions I will replace it with a government that does not.”
