Q&A: —How do we shift the Overton window to the right so that we can talk about our ideas in public and on campus again?— Moral men need a reason to demand change under the threat of violence. We need to give them: 1) a set of demands to alter the status quo. 2) a plan of transition 3) a means of rebellion And I”m working on it. There is no alternative to violence. Just get others to grow a pair. Because we’re going to have a revolution. And the best revolution is one where the enemy is so certain of defeat that they come to the table to compromise.

Fight This War, Not The Last One
FIGHT THIS WAR NOT THE LAST ONE I wouldn’t recommend fighting a revolution in favor of fascism, any more than I would recommend conducting a war using horse cavalry. Every generation we get an opportunity to modernize our weapons. Truth is enough. Aristocratic Egalitarianism, Testimonial Truth, Propertarian Ethics. Nomocratic Rule of Law, with Natural Law, Market Government, And Treasury Credit. Deprive the financial sector off fiat money gains. Deprive the media of copyright. Deprive everyone of unwarranted statements in the commons. Grant everyone universal standing in matters of the commons. Lying, Statism and Corporatism will evaporate under the weight of our prosecutions.

How Is Propertarianism Not Another Fantasy?
—“So Curt. How is this not a new Rothbardian ideal fantasy? Ie which government specifically are we speaking of taking over, and when we do, how many people do we stack like cordwood for jaywalking?”— Jonathan Page I can’t respond to all of that in a single comment.But I’ll jump ahead and take a guess your underlying question. First, natural law prohibits parasitism. Contract law allows for the construction of commons. (that’s what a contract does). The difference between public and private contract law, is that you can prohibit people from consumption and competition, whereas in the market we hope to create consumption and competition. So we can create commons (like the commons of property rights) that create a good (property rights) by prohibiting consumption of that which one has not obtained through homesteading. transformation, or exchange. We can create parks by allowing passage but not use.(etc). We can create all sorts of commons that one cannot socialize losses against, or privatize. As long as they are not parasitic. So this prohibits rents but allows investments, including informational rents and investments. 1) Why not a fantasy? It can be implemented in law – easily I might add, as a set of amendments to the constitution. 2) Which government? Contractualism.: Rule of natural, common, strictly constructed, judge-discovered law. intergenerational monarchy as veto(judge) of last resort. Market government by voluntary exchange and legal dissent. Market economy by voluntary exchange and legal dissent. Market for reproduction (family) by voluntary exchange and legal dissent. Market for Polities – Rights of association and disassociation. ( Or, as we say ‘markets in everything.) 3) Jaywalking Well, you know, it turns out that zero tolerance (broken window policing) by individuals and sheriffs is the optimum method of producing prosperity. And we have a lot fewer big ‘bads’ when we eliminate the small bads.

Restoring Civic Organizations
RESTORING THE CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS PRIOR TO THE ATTEMPT TO INDUSTRIALIZE A MONOPOLY OF THE NUCLEAR FAMILY. We need to force the creation of (a) monasteries (education and caretaking) in the ‘scientific’ sense, and (b) regiments (emergency and defense), and (c) civic dormitories (commons construction and maintenance). These places need to provide room and board to men of character in each class, in exchange for civic labor. Strict behavioral requirements, preserving the sacredness of the commons, (and suppressing impulse), Privately managed non-profits (leaving membership discretionary and without state interference). They will absorb the excess male population that will only serve to increase, increase the scarcity of marriageable males, reduce the size and cost of the state, reduce the cost of commons construction and maintenance, improve the general health and welfare, allow us to return to handcrafted hand-maintained commons.And restore civic ‘ownership’. If in addition, we eliminate child support and alimony, the family will be restored in one or two generations. And where it isn’t we don’t need it to be.
I have learned a great deal living on this side of the pond. The old ways assisted families in classes in compatibility, they were not industrialized societies trying to mass produce middle class from variously incompatible raw materials. -

( edited by William L. Benge )
THE NEXT GREAT LEAP 🙂
“The next great leap in human civilization is not technology. it’s morality and law: truth telling. It will be as great a leap as science has been.”
THE BAD AND THE UGLY — BUT NOT THE GOOD
“And likewise I am quite certain that just as the mystics fought reason tooth and nail, and just as the religious and theological fought empiricism tooth and nail, and just as the spiritual fought darwin tooth and nail, and those who practice theology, rationalism, and pseudoscience, and justificationary deception will fight tooth and nail.”
WHY?
“Because, each of these groups profits from their lies.”
THERE’$ LITERALLY NO EXCU$E FOR ALL THE GREAT LIE$ THEY CONTINUE TELLING TO MI$LEAD AND BILK MANKIND
“But how many fundamental truths are there? (we have estimates in the range of a few hundred to less than two thousand). Why is it that people should be lied to and not taught truth, or spoken to, but not spoken to truthfully, or speak, and not speak truthfully?
Why do we have any more right to pollute the informational commons than we do the other commons of air, water, and land? Why can we cause informational harm out of ignorance, yet we are prohibited from economic and criminal harm out of ignorance or not?
What was the cost of literacy? What was the cost of creating rule of law? What was the cost of western high trust?”
TOLERANCE FOR LIES IS COMPLICITY, FRAUD
“Tolerance is an excuse to conflate convenience (cost) with conviction, in exhcange for false status signals, fraudueltly obtained, by the pretense of charity versus the evasion of the tax necessary for the preservation of a high-trust society and its benefits.
The tolerant so to speak are just engaged in fraud and nothing more.”
