    DO YOU USE THESE TERMS AS THEY’RE DEFINED?
    (Conservatism doesn’t mean satus quo, it means empiricism. Progressivism doesn’t mean progress it means anti-empirical utopianism.)

    Conservatism: Conservatism shares some common values with Classical liberalism, such as a preference for limited government and free-market economics. However, Conservatives tend to be less socially liberal and are less supportive of individual liberties such as same-sex marriage and drug legalization.

    Classical Liberalism is an ideology that emphasizes individual freedom, limited government, and free-market economics. In comparison to other competing ideologies, classical liberalism has distinct differences and similarities.

    Libertarianism: Libertarianism is an ideology that shares many values with classical liberalism, such as individual liberty and free-market economics. However, libertarians tend to be more extreme in their views and advocate for the complete abolition of the state, whereas classical liberals believe in a limited government that plays a role in protecting individual rights and ensuring a level playing field for economic competition.

    Progressivism: Progressivism is an ideology that emphasizes social justice, equality, and collective action to solve societal problems. While classical liberals support individual freedom and limited government, they do not necessarily believe that the government should play a large role in promoting social justice or equality.
    … Also: American Liberalism, American Democratic Party, European Democratic Socialism.

    Socialism: Socialism is an ideology that emphasizes collective ownership of the means of production and the creation of a classless society. In contrast, classical liberalism is based on the belief that individual freedom and economic competition are the best ways to create prosperity and improve people’s lives. Thus, classical liberals are critical of socialism’s emphasis on central planning and state ownership.
    … Also: Leftism, Communism.

    “WHY RU IS STILL WALKING”
    Well, we’re spending .05% of our budget, and Russia’s entire stock of arms and men is being decimated. And the Ukrainians are still producing higher kill ratios. So our plan to ‘bleed russia to death’ now instead of fighting them later is working flawlessly. The only reason RU is still walking is that the West wants to change administration and policy rather than destroy the RU military entirely. Why? There is no good to come from another Russian collapse. Just ending Russian aggression, and completing Russian transformation to a modern state that’s a civil member of the world system of cooperation and trade.

    ARTICLE IS CLICKBAIT
    TRUTH: The law demands bloggers who are paid to produce political content disclose the payments.
    OPINION: The Libertarian in me says we shouldn’t care about the funding problem and if we do we can fix that. Judge of the Common Law in me says that it’s an extension of policy we already apply everywhere else so if we haven’t reversed previous legislation then this one is consistent?

    SIX QUESTIONS ILLUSTRATING LEFT VS RIGHT TRUTH?
    (We have our crazies on both sides of the fence. So it’s a question of which side has more of what kind of crazy.)

    Let me solve this pretty easily with a few questions:

    Q: Does evolution exist?
    A: Left: Yes.
    A: Right: Yes. Or Yes but god still exists. Or Yes but it’s the work of god. Or No god just did it all.

    Q: Will you speak the truth-before-face, regardless of the impact to others’ feelings, the status or competency hierarchy, and the subseqent social cost to you?
    A: Left: No, that would be hurtful. Yes (Meaning, lying to avoid speaking truth before face)
    A: Right: Of course. That’s the moral thing to do.

    Q: Is the difference between the sexes a bias to empathizing in time, avoiding responsibility that might generate risk, hyperconsumption, and status by absence of responsibility versus systematizing over time, seeking responsibility even if it generates risk, capitalization, and status by responsibility and capitalization?
    Left: No. There are no sex differences.
    Right: Yes. Obviously.

    Q: Is diversity a good?
    A: Left: Yes!
    A: Right: Within limits. Or If of races, but not culture. Or No, not at all – people are tribal, practice kin selection, vary in aggression and regulation, always self-sort, and proximity between groups always creates friction.

    Q: Are there genetic differences between races, subraces, classes, and sexes that are immutable sources of our differences in neoteny, aggression, sociability, anti-sociability, intelligence, and that IQ and Stereotypes are the most accurate measure in psychology and sociology, and that average IQ is an accurate, and the most accurate predictor of every statistical difference between countries, from crime to GDP.
    A: Left: No. And you’re evil for thinking and saying so.
    A: Right: Obviously. How can you think otherwise?

    Q: Are there Left-Right differences in magical thinking?
    A: Left: No only the right thinks in conspiracy theories.
    A: Right: The left’s oppression narratives are their version of conspiracy theory. Oppression narratives generally blame others for oppression when they’re just observing and adapting to the laws of nature. So the left hates the right as a proxy for hating the universe. And Sure, we have people that seem to believe in conspiracy theories pretty often. Unfortunately, other than the crazy ones, a lot of them turn out to be right.

    Cheers

    Islam is entropic. It has caused consistently since the 800s, continuous devolution, dysgenia, stagnation, decay, corruption, poverty, and the inability to form durable governments, rule of law, large organizations.
    And this is despite having the two great river systems of food production, and the silk road trade system, and the intersection of four continents, making it the optimum region for knowledge production and accumulation.
    But instead, islam teaches ignorance in exchange for peace of mind (mindfulness). Christianity would be as bad if not for germanization. Hinduism is hobbled by the caste system, diversity, and population size. Buddhism has a less significant effect. Confucianism and Stoicism and eventually Humanism have achieved the advancement the more superstitious religions of sedation have failed to mirror.

    Well I’ve given up nearly everything I’d accumulated in life to work full-time on solving the problem forever, and solving it isn’t difficult. Getting 2M+ people to show up and demand those changes isn’t something I’m going to be able to do. That’s going to take a lot of people.

    I state why we don’t get along on the one hand, and the utility and necessity of ethnocentrism in producing a high trust low power distance minimum conflict redistributive polity on the other hand, and the impossibility of overcoming that difference.

    I mean I suppose I could add a tagline to each post that states my ambitions. 😉

    INTERMARIUM VS RU
    Regardless of France and Germany, the Intermarium countries have a larger population and economy that the Russian federation. If we add Ukraine, which should have a post-conflict population of +30M, that brings them to the most successful sub civilization in Europe, with the best agrarian production, and if they finish the rail lines, they connect vertically, and with the ‘three seas’.
    IMO the Intermarium will become the core of European defense, the french will remain a north African empire, and the germanic countries and Italy will return to their ancestral function.
