  • Order of Operations. Path to ‘practical Activities’

    Feb 9, 2020, 7:21 AM

    —“Focusing on the core principle of reciprocity is good, that’s a concept, that with a bit of time, most people can get their heads round. … We need to hear practical activities people can get involved in to push for this”— @relocateromania

    We will roll out ‘practical activities’ once we have 1) enough of the constitution out, 2) and enough of a FAQ, and 3) a video for each market segment we’re addressing so that they know the features and benefits.Then we can start ‘organizing’: Political Party. Activists. Fighters.

    It will profoundly normalize life. It will also do wonderful things to the capital sector as it must seek longer term investments.

    Combined with right to repair, and minimum durable use, it will make a huge difference.

  • Yang Is a Moron and Here Is the Better Answer

    Mar 4, 2020, 12:07 PM YANG IS A MORON AND HERE IS THE BETTER ANSWER by Curt Doolittle (from early 2018, reposted by Stephen Thomas)

    —“You haven’t articulated your solution in a sound byte 90% of your fans can understand let alone 90% of the general population”—

    There is no comparison. Nationalize mc [Master Card]; Issue one to every citizen over 18; Guarantee minimum $1000 per month to start Then: Distribute liquidity (regulate interest rates) directly to the people rather than thru the financial sector; Distribute 20% of tax revenues to the same means; Eliminate consumer interest, by direct loan from treasury. (requires direct deposit, thereby improving tax collection on cheats) Open medicaid to all. (put private and public in competition) Reduce Social Security to compensate Close the IRS for regular income. Close HUD, ED, Agriculture, Energy. Close All Foreign Bases other than ports. Eliminate corporate taxation on dividends. Nationalize Google, Facebook Twitter and restore freedom of speech. Eliminate hazard pricing and regulate pricing by cell, internet, and telephone, companies. This would gut the government, gut the financial sector; gut immigration, redistribute TRILLIONS a year, and mean the average homeowner would require one working parent, pay off mortgages in 15 years, crash the price of houses and rents, and force businesses to serve customers not banks. It would be the largest redistribution to the ‘working’ class since the roman land reforms. There is no possible better solution. If we had done this when I first recommended it in 2009, all those TRILLIONS would be in the hands of Americans not BANKERS. Yang is making the problem WORSE. It will ALL go to financial, landlord, credit cards. all of it will inflate away. (ST: I really see no reason to not consider this. I could see some push back from right wingers on the Nationalizing, etc. But really what other choice do we have that is actionable? First we need a National Political Divorce before any real change can begin.)

  • A Social Reason Why We Need to Restore the Militia

    Mar 5, 2020, 10:37 PM by Alex Hill

    —“Many of the guys I served with immediately did security contracting after we got out. I’d much rather have the National Guard disbanded, and a local militia structure for veterans returning home fall into leadership positions, should they chose, for volunteer service at home. I think a lot of veteran dysfunction is from a loss of purpose. When you’re on your own and no longer just a wolf in the pack so to speak, it’s aggravating. That, and the disillusionment when you realize all that toil and suffering was for nothing were the worst parts for me anyway.”—

    The other reason is so that we can mobilize en mass in the face of disaster – which we obviously can’t in response to (a) natural disasters, (b) this current epidemic – things which are organizational problems that are best solved through command and control. Markets discover. Command is necessary when we are reacting not discovering. Edit

  • I Don”t Want You to Stop Veneration for Jesus – I Want You to Reform

    Mar 9, 2020, 1:18 PM I DON”T WANT YOU TO STOP VENERATION FOR JESUS – I WANT YOU TO REFORM Katherine Nixey: The Darkening Age. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Darkening_Age Christians were the social justice warriors, revisionist historians, victim narrative producers, anti-whites, sophists, science denialists, and communists of the ancient world. Which is why they assist the muslims and jews in the destruction of the modern world, with another era of universalism. The orthodox on one hand have preserved a ritualistic religion. The evangelicals have almost converted it into a folk religion. But “Churchianity” imposed by force by the byzantines upon the west, is no different from postwar jews imposing marxism, feminism, postmodernism, and human biology denialism upon the west once again, and incrementally using activism to undermine from within. The current fall is just christianity version two. (My instinct is that Christianity cannot survive without military service to provide the masculinity to the men. Paganism is nationalistic, or at civilizational, and militaristic. as well as providing debt recognition to ancestors.) Edit
