by John Mark, Apr 6, 2020, 11:37 AM My standard response to the fed-post accusation is to: a) mock anyone who says using 2A for its primary intended purpose is “bad” (were the founding fathers “feds”? lmao), and; b) demand they produce and articulate a solution: “What is your plan for when the Right can’t win any more elections?” Often these groups/individuals that countersignal are either consciously or subconsciously trying to hold on to their “market share” of right-wing audience – they have invested significantly in what they are doing, and many people even on the dissident right are still hoping in vain that there is some other way to win without force. P kinda makes everybody else look bad and threatens to make them irrelevant because we are a) describing the situation with brutal honesty (force or at least show of force will be necessary) while they are not, and b) P is so stunningly well thought out, with such thorough coverage and breakthrough insight both in explanatory power and recommended solutions, that it is impossible for anyone else on the Right to compete with. (Simply put, no other group has Curt on their team.) P also requires a decent amount of time investment to understand well enough to say “yeah, I get how this could work”. And time is something leaders have very little of – I have very limited time to invest in learning details about what other leaders/movements/packs are doing. We are also slaying the sacred cows of libertarianism/ancap etc., and correcting a bunch of failed strategies all around. (For example, we say persuasion & voting can’t be the Right’s primary strategy – but most groups on the Right are built around that primary strategy.) All this results in the leaders of other “packs” sometimes having an initial negative reaction toward us. One way to mitigate this without compromising on the truth, may be to invite people like this on my show and genuinely try to promote them (cuz many of them are doing great work in many ways), and then also ask them what they think of our basic solution proposals (policies etc, not in-depth P stuff), and have that discussion. Propertarians are the adults in the room on the Right. And we’re figuring out how to deal with/work with the other “packs”.

(another sermon) [W]hat is man’s competitive advantage? Our body form gave us opportunity to out-maneuver all other creatures on this earth. Our bipedal body form gave us opportunity to evolve bipedal motion so that could outrun every other creature on this earth. By outrunning every other creature on this earth our hands were free to develop independently for the single purpose of manipulation. By developing the ability to manipulate objects, we could make and then carry tools, and tools improved our ability to capture resources as predators, and to increasingly specialize in predation in addition to gathering and scavenging. For reasons that appear to be an accidental adaptation to disease our brains obtain the opportunity to vastly increase in size, making it possible for increasingly sophisticated thought. For reasons we are not sure we understand at present other than the obvious utility of it, we developed speech – serialized communication – which gave us the opportunity think and speak in continuously recursive sequential fashion. For reasons that are obvious, thinking in continuously recursive sequential fashion gave us or improved our ability to proactively plan – permute sequences of future predictions – rather than just respond to impulses and opportunities – just as numbers improve our ability to compare what is beyond our senses. For reasons that are obvious, this ability to categorize organize plan using language evolve into reason. For reasons that are obvious, we developed tyranny (upper caste force monopoly for maximum rate of adaptation), the middle class majority: bureaucracy and serfdom for regularity, along with oligarchy and markets for continuous adaptation, and theocracy (lower caste resistance monopoly for resistance to adaptation). Because these are the dominant male, ascendent male, and female competitive strategies – and the only means of organizing mankind. And maximizing our ability to adapt and evolve by using aggressive transformation, persistence of state, continuous adaptation, and resistance to change (or at least demand for satisfaction and compromise in exchange for adapting) continues our strategy of maximizing our ability to outmaneuver nature, plant, beast and other groups of humans.

Well, innovation in the division of knowledge labor, production and distribution creates opportunity for innovation in free riding, fraud, rent seeking, and corruption – so we have to produce a market and incentives to suppress these ir-reciprocities. Endless Competition via +/-.

… In other words 40% of the US economy is financialism (extraction) at the cost of knowledge, skill, capital, and local production.

@judicialist And one can not possible make the claim that he has the right to price stability of a commodity – money included. What he can do if he wants a gold standard is continuously convert fiat money into hard money holdings (which is how the oil business functions). The only reason…

… for price stability is to make possible the completion of production cycles. It isn’t clear that there are any production cycles other than those that force rent seeking that are longer than an economic cycle. Especially rental, lease, and mortgage agreements. …

How does forcing the government to pay you interest in order to produce commons, instead of borrowing against the future productivity of the population, not consist of rent seeking?

The problem is that unlike the French that NATIONALIZED the rothchild banks, we left them private and let the financial sector benefit from borrowing rather than the people.

@DeguTanya And they were wrong. A central bank is the economic equivalent of an army – necessary. Fiat currency is the ability to borrow from your future production w/o interest. However, once you divorce from hard money pricing, how do you measure your debt and returns? ..We can. We don’t.
