Faith

Pete Hegseth gets it, sort of.

A state exists because its army exists. States exist because armies exist.

A state needs a faith, and an army needs a faith. There is always a state faith. And starting with Obama, the faith of woke is currently being imposed on the army — a faith incompatible with the army’s core function, which efficiently killing people and breaking things. It is also incompatible with war production, or production of anything, as recently became apparent in the Ukraine war.

And the last place where the old faith of the Republic lived was the army. Obama decided to stamp that out and enforce Woke. Pete Hegseth intends to restore the old faith of the Republic in the army..

The trouble with the old faith of the Republic is that it only worked because of unprincipled exceptions. And if you remove all the unprincipled exceptions you get woke.

If all men are created equal, blacks are equal, women are equal. If men and women are equal, they are interchangeable, and you get sodomite marriage, trannies in the army, and you have to mind your pronouns.

Pete wants to restore the recently removed unprincipled exceptions. Men will no longer have an inherent universal human right to be women, nor vice versa. But he does not want the old unprincipled exceptions restored. Sodomy will remain, women will remain, provided they can make the physical, which of course they cannot, and he is going to make sure they cannot. Well, that is what he says, but he is namefag, and I can sense some stuff he is not saying — that namefags cannot say.

With Trump, you know you are getting the whole Trump. Trump really is Trump. Hegseth is holding something back, what he is holding back I do not quite know.

But he is dead serious about restoring the old faith of the Republic. The question that is unclear is which unprincipled exceptions to the faith of the Republic he wants back.

A faith that does not need unprincipled exceptions to meet reality is more viable. I want 1660, not 1770. But certainly 1770, which is what Pete Hegseth is selling, is a whole lot easier to sell in the army.

The inherent contradictions of the faith of 1770 got us to where we are today.

Well, is he a real adherent of the faith of 1770? His experience in Afghanistan and Iraq cured him of democratic universalism. The Afghans don’t want our #^##@& universal human rights, and will kill us if we try to shove them down their throats. And he is rather keen on the Bible. The founding fathers, being Deists rather than Christians, were not nearly so keen on the Bible.

He seems keen on on the faith of 1770, he is selling it, and it is an easy sell in the army. Maybe he really believes. Very likely he really believes. Or maybe he simultaneously believes in something a little bit older.

He is alarmingly keen on Israel, which seems a bit odd after his experiences in the Middle East. Still, we have to get Thermidor on side, if he wants to lead the Department of Defence, which he intends to restore to its old name, the Department of War. He seems a little too keen on war. Which all those Jewish Thermidorians really like about him.

But such points do not really matter much. What is important is that Trump is appointing someone who knows you have to bring a gun to gunfight and a faith to a holy war, and who understands we are in a holy war.

Pete’s position, like Trump’s, uneasily straddles rather too many factions. Albeit unlike Trump, all those factions are current year unthinkable. Well, he is a namefag. War comes, and will produce clarity.

Another source for this may be that deep state bugs can only be reliably distracted from gay race communism if you scare them about ‘foreign adversaries.’ I’ve come to the conclusion a huge amount of what appears to be war hawk behavior is simply white men trying to push the tide back. Most of the time when you see people making a huge case about how undemocratic China is and all their mistreatment of wiggers, pretty clear they feel no real negative emotion towards China and no real care for the fate of the wiggers.

My biggest worry is the Eurasian axis is too incompetent to be enough of a threat to keep the Thermidor coalition together long enough for results.

JustAnotherGuy says:

Putler failing to take Ukraine in one swift blow and still struggling to do so keeps quite a bit of fuel in the gay race communism tank. Getting crushed in Syria also gives another big fuel dump in the gay race communism tank. If China falls off the horse as soon as it wallops out, that’s going to be another big med-resistant AIDS dump in the gay race communism stew.

But do external threats really work to illicit internal change? Rome got smashed in Persia and Germania, and they didn’t have a come to Jesus moment afterwards. Looks to me like irrespective of what happens on the outside world, they are going to smash the internal wokocracy regardless. It’s one thing to be weak when facing a peer-enemy, another thing when you can’t even rally the troops because they are all on maternity leave.

Jim says:

They are literally running out of Ukrainians. Also running out of weapons. The time to cut losses and accept whatever deal is on the table, no matter how bad, is long past. It was past when The Greatest Ukrainian Offensive died, taking most of their army with it.

If Putin had taken the Ukraine in one blow, he then would have been faced with a forever war, as Globohomo endlessly attempted to “liberate” Ukraine with low level warfare at a level that they could afford. That was a tar baby he tried to grab, and fortunately failed to grab. Prolonged high level warfare has been terrible for Russia, but it has been far worse for the Globohomo empire, because its weakness, and its cheerful willingness to expend its subjects without limit, has been exposed.

The Ukraine is not losing much territory yet, but its army and its government is fading away rapidly. Russia has the option of continuing the war till the disappearance is complete, and given how much it has cost already, might as well continue to that point. The remaining cost is rapidly diminishing.

Fidelis says:

I’m suggesting that War External is another rallying point for many leftists in the middling halls of power. If so, an incompetent enemy makes this work even better, as they don’t have to be realistic at all in their war aims, and can get a lot more on board.

In this case, no War External doesn’t fix anything until the enemy replaces your leaders or you fight to the last man in Appalachia. War Internal has a chance of fixing things, but War External is another leftist grift while these people are in charge. Thermidor is canny leftists realizing that they are next on the chopping block (and set to profit from war external), so leveraging the Schelling point of Lets Make Everywhere as Gay as America to get a big enough coalition to actually attempt pushing the leftist tide back elsewhere.

A state needs a faith, and an army needs a faith. There is always a state faith.

You’re correct, but we already have a state faith (in direct violation of the first amendment). It’s called Global Warming Alarmism. It requires belief in things that cannot be proven by science. It persecutes those who do not believe. It has prophets (Al Gore, Greta Thunberg, etc). It even sells indulgences (climate credits).

Our nation’s founders were Christians. And that makes sense because at the end of all other things, only Christ can truly restore the nation. Jesus is the OG of MAGA.

Just as every state has a state religion, every non-comatose brain has a memeplex, and the memeplex inside the brain of a Norse warrior with Christian tattoos, the father of 7 children, and the subject of bulls**t le grope accusations by some skank, is likely to be quite healthy and robust. That he became a namefag on television suggests priestly aspirations, hence warrior-priest, everything the orange merchant is not. He can claim the Mandate of Heaven, and I hope he will.

3 wives

One day this will be parallel rather than consecutive. Perhaps on Mars, where the sex ratio will be lopsided by design. After the initial settlement phase is over and it’s safe to show up, you can make yourself a planet where the problem of female sexual scarcity is entirely fixed. Only question is whether it’s a biological or a robotic fix; I favor biological, hence Jim’s female breeding farms suggestion.

Adam says:

To be safe we should cover all the bases, including artificial wombs. Female influence on reproduction needs to hit absolute zero.

T says:

Yes.

It is likely that, in the long-run, sexual dimorphism will grow ever more pronounced, with the result being that egalitarianism will become practically unthinkable. The traits selected for on females will vastly differ from the traits selected for on males, in ways that our ancestral environment would have mitigated or prohibited, and the political dynamics will increasingly reflect that. The sexes will separate into two different “classes.” Between the two, males will be the dominant class, particularly once female sexual scarcity is fully corrected.

i says:

@Adam

Artificial wombs are getting into transhumanist and Brave New World territory. Which Transhumanism including the Neuralink by Elon himself that is inspired by the Cyberpunk game “Deus Ex” is actually a knockoff version of the Resurrection Bodies of Christians after Jesus the Logos raises us from the dead.

Deus ex is a game that helped inspire my conversion to Christianity since I discovered I already had a longing for God there.

I smell sulfur and the demonic from this separation of human function from the human body. Like those Techies I find on twitter that talk about reproduction and improving fertility from a 3rd person perspective as if they are Disembodied Minds themselves.

Focusing on tech like they are Prosthetics rather than Tools and rather than maximizing Human Bodily Powers like the Chad Athletes. Who are far more in tune with their bodies and bodily functions including social interactions, seduction and sex with women in order to bring forth the next generation.

I don’t think the libertarian doctrine of equal rights leads to conclusions like “men and women are equal” or “castrated faggot trannies are women”, etc. The equality only goes as far as stating that stealing from niggers or women is a crime, like stealing from white men is. Killing niggers or women is a crime like killing white men. Etc.

It is true that what is now called liberalism comes from the “classical” liberalism of the 18th and 19th centuries, but the modern version is a corrupted parody.

As to the divine right of kings, to what degree can it be defended against claims of monopoly? You are familiar with the argument : monpoly is bad for consumers. A monopolistic producer of security is going to take advantage of its subjects.

Killing white men of good character is equivalent of killing black men of good character or the wives of other men. It is not equivalent to killing men of bad character or husbands killing unfaithful wives and their lovers; the latter is praiseworthy.

Fidelis says:

I somewhat agree with you, except that I would go even further. You can say “all men are created equal” and then not give the privileges endowed to men to the africans and women. I don’t actually see this as an unprincipled exception, in fact it was a long fight by the leftists to get everyone to think this way, and up until past 1865 you cannot even claim a plurality of those in power thought so in America.

It looks to me like “Deism” and “all men are created equal” are not exactly incompatible with Kings or aristocracy, just as Christianity proper endures with all its contradictions. The ancient Israelites were “Deist” — I AM THAT I AM is as “Deist” a phrase as it gets — believed all of themselves descended from the same man with the same covenant, were “created equal” in this way, and their leftisms didn’t look like equalism, didn’t look like tearing down Kings for the sake of equalizing. Their leftisms looked like sexual deviancy, human sacrifice, and worship of sovereigns and strange gods as idols.

You don’t need to turn Jesus Christ from Son of God to jewish community organizer to push leftism, you can see this in the dead and dying churches today. None of the fake priests even bother denying the divinity of Christ, they just go straight to interpreting the Bible in strange and twisted ways, in much the same way they interpret reality itself in strange and twisted ways. Plenty of people who strongly believe both that it’s Good we emancipated women and slaves, and that Jesus Christ was and is God, and as God and as Man died so that we might be saved. These beliefs are hardly sprung from “Deism”.

My case here is that leftism can creep in just fine no matter what your state faith is, if you don’t actively work to combat and suppress it. The Republic divided power too much, and founded itself on leftist principals of “hey lets take the King’s apples”, so leftism became deeply embedded. Had George Washington made himself King, had he enforced a State Church, “Deist” or not, I suspect we would be in a very different world today.

i says:

@Fidelis

The problem with said Deism is the fact that it contradicts that “I AM” actually does interact with existence and reacts to Demonic and Human Agency even with predestination it still assumes the prediction of Agency. You cannot Pray to a Deistic God and expect him to answer you. You cannot: “Ask and you will receive, knock and it will be open to you”

A Deist God cannot assume Humanity and die for our sins or judge Humanity and Angels for their evils.

Fidelis says:

it contradicts that “I AM” actually does interact with existence and reacts to Demonic and Human Agency

Why? Deism, Panpsychism, does not presuppose Nature is dead. The opposite in fact, it presupposes that the Divine Will is the firmament of reality. It doesn’t as axiom exclude anything angelic or demonic, or state that such forces cannot interact with our percieved reality. This is second order assumption, not first order.

You cannot Pray to a Deistic God and expect him to answer you. You cannot: “Ask and you will receive, knock and it will be open to you”

I ask again, why? Where does “God is the Divine Will animating all things” leave out room for that Divine Will to resonate with a limited and temporal manifestation of itself?

A Deist God cannot assume Humanity and die for our sins

Not if we’re taking words at face value as literal interpretation. Hence Deist and not Christian, or Nicene Christian. If we take the Christ story as necessarily a Real Event in lower reality, as opposed to a Real Event in mythological reality. Tell me about the lifestyle of people who take Revelations exceptionally seriously. It looks to me like everyone who takes the written form of these stories as literal truth end up denying the reality in their face, and attempt to die as soon as possible.

or judge Humanity and Angels for their evils

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Fidelis says:

Apologies, looks like I misinterpreted and ascribed beliefs that seem to have not been held by the people that called themselves Deists. They go out of their way to make a clockwork universe, inventing a bunch of irrational prepositions and ignoring the source of reason itself when crowning reason. In this case, no, Deism makes no sense, is as bad as fedora atheists, but more destructive as it ended up in the heads of powerful men.

i says:

@Fidelis

Perhaps I am mistaken that a core tenant of Deism is that God never intervenes after he creates reality.

In that case. Why even accept any Divine Revelation? Are the Scriptures truly inspired by God and did the Prophecies actually come True?(I did some more reading on Deism and it is assumed that Deists reject all Divine Revelation like the Bible or I am still wrong on that as well in which case I would like to see evidence for that).

Many of the Old Testament were predictions of the Messiah the enfleshment of the Logos. And in particular the Book of Daniel was accurate predictions of the Succession of Empires in the Middle East and the Mediterranean:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CtdGm556gM&pp=ygUbaGlzdG9yeSBhY2NvcmRpbmcgdG8gZGFuaWVs

If said “I AM” exists why would he not reveal that name to Moses when he appeared in the Burning Bush and did all the wonders when Israel was bought out of Egypt?

But if such a thing is true and Divine Revelation could be valid. Is that still Deism?

i says:

@Fidelis

Also scratch that since I just saw your response.

Jim says:

> As to the divine right of kings, to what degree can it be defended against claims of monopoly? You are familiar with the argument : monpoly is bad for consumers. A monopolistic producer of security is going to take advantage of its subjects.

Obviously. But if the right to use force, to produce bads as well as goods, is widely distributed, there has to be a clear and near universally agreed consensus on what is right use of force. Which means you have to have a state religion, even if no state, as for example Saga period Iceland and Judges period Israel, and that monopoly of faith enforced.

Jim says:

> I don’t think the libertarian doctrine of equal rights leads to conclusions like “men and women are equal” or “castrated faggot trannies are women”, etc.

As a historical fact, it did.

If woman and blacks have equal rights, you have to make an unprincipled exception “Equal but different” — which was the generally accepted consensus following emancipation of blacks.

And if you are making an unprincipled exception, then you are in a conflict of faiths with people holier than you are. Bad position to be in.

An argument ensues. He calls you a hypocrite. I remember those debates. They were right. The old classical libertarians and conservatives were hypocrites. And so were weak before the people who called them hypocrites.

Fidelis says:

Women are not men and africans are not persons. Women became men when there were apples to steal for declaring them so, namely that you could humilate the royalty and take their status, and africans became persons in a similar fashion. At first the southern governors argued that africans were people so they could get more seats in the House, and later Harvard argued that africans were persons so that they could enslave the south.

It’s in fact rather easy to say “all men are created equal” and then append “when it comes to receiving God’s grace, obviously it doesn’t apply to things that are not regarding the soul”. It’s when you start adding things like “inaliable rights” that the applecart looks shakey; “I have the right to property, your property in fact, hand it over. Don’t you see, we have equal rights to your property.”

Liberalism has to go if it’s founded on “inaliable rights”, because rights are granted. They’re at the discretion of the King. Our leftism was born from coveting the power, status, and wealth of the King, and once we disempowered him, it continued down the heirarchy.

Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

>Women are not men and africans are not persons.

This is just sneaking differentiation in through the back door, in the stead of accepting differentiation as a principle in of itself.

Cue 200 years of grammatological alchemy to subvert this lexical high ground for advantage; as we have seen.

Fidelis says:

If no near universally accepted consensus on what is right use of force, conflicts will ensue. What if you are up against a bigger gang?. You then need to sign up with an even bigger gang. And we then get what we have got.

alf says:

I want 1660, not 1770.

By this you mean the faith of England in 1660, Anglican protestantism.

Summarizing the history of Western Christianity: early Catholicism was fine, but went wrong when the popes started to envy what belonged to the emperor, went wrong ever since pope Gregroy VII or so. Grew more corrupted over the centuries, making the protestant split justified and inevitable. The Jesuits represent the most corrupted, most radical branch of the Catholics created in responce to the reformation. I was unsurprised to learn that they were publicly accused of having a hand in the murder of prince William I of Orange.

That the Protestants were right in their protesting was further proved by the fruits of their tree: the industrial revolution was overwhelmingly a protestant movement, and England notably went on to conquer the new world.

But not all Protestant movements were created equal. Notably we can separate three different strands. First the Lutherans, the original protestants. Even though Luther was a great and pious man, his doctrine boils down to ‘please don’t tread on me’. This runs against neoreactionary thought, which is of the opinion that one must rule or be ruled. And indeed, the German states kept having trouble uniting and fighting off the Catholics and Jesuits.

Much more successful were the Calvinists. Yes, they were more radical -Calvin wanted to ban dancing-, but because they were willing to fight for their beliefs, mounted successful resistance against the Catholics, notably in the Netherlands. But because more radical and more in favor of a theocracy than a monarchy, also prone to holiness spirals. We’ll come back to this later.

Final strand were the Anglicans, arguably the most successful. Doctrinally perhaps the vaguest of the three: how serious does the church really take Henry VIII’s theology? But Henry put the king in charge of the church, and that ‘officialisation’ of warriors over priests is very much in line with neoreactionary thought, and a very likely explanation of the success the English had in conquering the new world.

Circling back to the Calvinists. The last big Christian discussion was in the early 17th century on the subject of predestination. Predestination is of course a classic unfalsifiable topic. But what makes the subject interesting is that predestination seems to be all-together the last serious Western Christian debate, not just among Protestants, but also among Catholics, as evidenced by Jansenism in France. After predestination the intellectual class moved on to become Deists and eventually atheists.

Cominator has brought up this topic, has argued in favor of it. I find myself much more on the opposing side. I don’t like being wholly predestined, and in fact I have come to view it as a Calvinist holiness spiral; the Christian version of In’shallah.

I have choices in this life. I believe God wants me to have choices in this life. Obviously, I cannot choose the impossible and in fact am greatly restricted by the laws of nature. But within those confines, I believe I am free to sin or do good. I believe that is what makes humans interesting for God. What would be the use of creating a universe in which you know all the outcomes beforehand? It’s boring.

Jehu says:

Alf, do you have any children? I’ve got 3, and I can predict what they’re going to do in most situations with a tremendous amount of accuracy. God’s got way more children than that, and He knows them way better than I know mine. Does me knowing that my son, for instance, is going to lose his temper at the person taunting him and knock his block off shortly with his TKD skills make either of them not free? The taunting child choose to poke the angry bear that is my eldest. The eldest could have chosen to forbear. But I knew exactly how it was going to play out. God has further advantage, He can see from a perspective outside Time.

Alf says:

I can predict what they’re going to do in most situations with a tremendous amount of accuracy.

I can somewhat generally predict how certain situations will pan out, although sometimes I will make a hilariously and horribly wrong estimation. But part of the joy is in where I can not predict what they’re going to do, when they surprise me in a pleasant way, which, lucky for me, happens often enough.

Fidelis says:

What a strange argument. Your kids have NEVER said anything unexpected to you? NEVER had any personality traits or quirks that surprised you?

>God is outside of time
So is the human soul. Hence, the destination after the body dies is an eternity in the next realm.

As an aside, even in temporal reality human brain seems to react to events that have not yet occured. The research is pushed under the rug because it makes the Elightened look silly, makes it clear that reason is downstream of something higher.

https://journals.lub.lu.se/jaex/article/view/24216
These experiments should have more replication attempts than they do. I very much would like to know if humans can precognize a stimuli, that would challenge much of how we interpret reality, physical and otherwise.

Jehu says:

I wouldn’t say never, but their behavior, and in particular, misbehavior is pretty damned predictable to me. To God, even more so,. But to the point—does someone being able to predict how you’re going to choose make your choice not free? I don’t think it does.

Fidelis says:

The “Free Will” Test
In a class I taught at Berkeley, I did an experiment where I wrote a simple little program that would let people type either “f” or “d” and would predict which key they were going to push next. It’s actually very easy to write a program that will make the right prediction about 70% of the time. Most people don’t really know how to type randomly. They’ll have too many alternations and so on. There will be all sorts of patterns, so you just have to build some sort of probabilistic model. Even a very crude one will do well. I couldn’t even beat my own program, knowing exactly how it worked. I challenged people to try this and the program was getting between 70% and 80% prediction rates. Then, we found one student that the program predicted exactly 50% of the time. We asked him what his secret was and he responded that he “just used his free will.”

— Scott Aaronson, Quantum Computing Since Democritus

There’s something to the principle of Free Will that defies determinism. However, arguing over what the perspective of God may be is ultimately fruitless, cannot really be answered in words. Perhaps experience, but not words.

Jehu says:

The program almost certainly exploited the fact that most of the population, when asked to generate random bits, will generate strings of 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on consecutive identical bits way less often than random. It’s quite likely that the lone student did something like pick a big number and decompose it into binary. That’d give a sufficiently random looking sample that the simple program wouldn’t do better than 50/50.

Jim says:

> Your kids have NEVER said anything unexpected to you?

He did not say “Never”. I too can predict the behavior of those very close to me with very great accuracy.

Fidelis says:

I was trying to emphasize the unknowable rather than put words in his mouth. Humans are not exactly simulatable, and the same people the most obsessed with simulating humans tend to have the same obsession about abolishing sex and gender. Much of the delight of interacting with humans is the unknown and unknowable, just as much of the displeasure, or rather lack of “magic” “sense of connection”, when dealing with chatbots and robots is their predictability.

The Cominator says:

The Anglicans in their early period under Elizabeth I (as much as we aren’t normally in favor of women in power should have been called Elizabeth the great) and James I WERE Calvinists. It was Charles I and Laud trying to change that which caused such discord.

Basil says:

The only disagreement between “traditional churches” and the secular world is that in traditional churches the preacher will tell men that they must voluntarily fulfill the male side of the traditional social contract.

A church that is truly against divorce for any reason except adultery does not exist.
A church that supports male authority in marriage does not exist.
A church that truly means that women should be respected and submissive does not exist.
A church where women can find well-behaved virgins because the church does not castrate young parishioners to convince the women to look for dicks elsewhere does not exist.

If Christians took their religion seriously, if Christians truly stood for family values, we would have a Christian Taliban, a Christian Boko Haram, and a Christian ISIS. And where are they?

“Christian ISIS”

That was the IRA, and before them, the Crusaders.

Well, the IRA got erased by the Blob and Protestants, among others, and now Ireland has been fully taken over by Islam.

And the Crusaders got erased from history lessons by the Prog Marx Commie Democrat Indoctrination Camps known as Public Schools, stripped as the original building and maintaining Christian Nations by the “Secular” Constitution ideologists, and rebranded as “Evil Colonizers” by the Woke incarnation… even though the Crusaders were the only ones throwing out the Muslims that had invaded and colonizing, enslaving, murdering, and raping the Christian Lands of Europe.

So now all of Europe and England have been taken over by the Muhammeden.

And the Christian Men of the USA got erased by Democrats and Soros JEWS and Lying Muslim Apologists like Ilhan Omar, so now places like Wisconsin, Dearborn, Hamtramck, and so on are all Muslim owned No-Go zones.

And somehow the world quietly sits by effectively endorsing Islam’s current murder-purge and expulsion from Syria, while JAILING anyone in the West who dares ask “Um, hello, what about the Muslims invading and slaughtering in our own lands?”. Fuck you Starmer and Trudeau types.

Deus Vult, indeed.

T says:

It’s worse than that. “The world” actively facilitates the Rising Tide of Color globally and the Red-Green Alliance in Europe. In addition to the Jews, you have Satanic Harvard in the Anglospere, the lavender-occupied Roman Catholic Church, and foreign governments (particularly Qatar) pouring no end of resources to promote that agenda.

The Left wants to destroy civilization. 1660 England (peak GNON-compliance thus far) is white and Christian and patriarchal and fertile, therefore the Left wants to eliminate the white, the Christian, the male, and the heterosexual. The Red-Green Alliance is Progressives’ Plan B, “If we can’t defeat Christianity with our own Progressivism, let’s at least defeat it with Islam.” The wicked elite uses Mohammedanism as a tool, though really it’s a win-win situation for the Alliance. Which is why I strongly advocate Regime Change in America – once the leftist priesthood falls in America, it will fall everywhere else too, and then you can remove kebab.

As Jim says, your priority should not be Muslims at the moment, but demon-worshippers in power in America. Islam, like the Infinigger (and the Infindian, for that matter), is but an arm of the octopus, is but one head of the hydra. Don’t play whack-a-mole. Go right to the source.

Crusades themselves started from 722 (Reconquista), and 1095 (Reconquerment), through 1718 (Holy League), and still didn’t finish the job. That’s how tough the problem is.

Nation building and keeping isn’t easy, especially once you stop keeping it.

Japan and China probably won’t have too much problem for a while, because they correctly refuse to let Muslims and just about everyone else in, they know Islam is orthagonal and dangerous to everything else.

The rest of the currently Muslim-free world (mostly Mexico through Argentina, but a few other Christian regions, Australia, etc) has been foolishly opening its doors to Islam (because Woke infection) and is beginning to fall fast. With the West already cooked.

Lots of places keep letting Jews in too… Media, Banking, Politics. USA being the latest shining example of that mess, even boiling over into the protest street, with opposing sides both flying their co-jewish flags.

Same as anything else, waters you down and washes you out, till you look around and say to yourself “These don’t look and act like me, they’re not inviting me to dinner, not offering their daughters to anyone else… where the hell are my people and land? Who did this to us?”

Rod says:

Hegseth is a known multiple-time adulterer, with one child out of wedlock while adultering, two time divorcee. He’s also a bit of a drunkard and irresponsibly spends quasi-public monies in less than fiduciary fashion.

He was accused of rape/assault, but women are evil liars and whores, and that crap has become a political fashion trend, so that can be ignored.

Now he does seem to have cleaned up and found a bit of Righteousness the last handful of years or so, so perhaps he will openly address those issues and his repentance and reformation on some podcast. Maybe he already did on Bongino’s or one of the other two, don’t know.

Young and doesn’t have any upper level military or management experience, but seems more than chomping to get the trash out of the Military, if not the entire Dept of Defense. Grunts know where the bullshit is and will get respect from all the lower rungs. Has a nice Bronze Star.

Point of all this is, will they be allowed to confirm him?

Trump also appointed a Jew as Deputy SecDef, probabably to run PMC ops.

Anyway, who gives a shit?

Rod says:

Nobody gives a shit about hanging with the guys.
Yet guys also know that real shit hits real too (PTSD whatever), and we know that private alcoholism happens to impact work, from confusion to aspie-raging.
Not suggesting anything exists. And even if there is a thing, our first job as men is to be for our fellow men and help get them out of any such rut.
A different path… God, fam, guys, and a fulfilling new job.
If that job is gutting and reforming the DoD, then godspeed ahead.

“Women in combat”… see a lot of Shaniqua types in the Mil prancing their obese asses around in MP costumes with their nails and hair done talking jive on their phones all day.
Don’t see a lot of G.I.Janes (whether Ridley Scott variety or any other type).
Fighting women do exist but are pretty rare.
And Men know a fighter when they see one, so have zero problem inviting such fighters on the team.
Problem is, ignoring the silly Shaniqua’s, the Politicians advertised and forcibly filled the combat-area Military with a bunch of non-rare bog-standard women… daters, moms, normies, and wanna-be and not-natural fighters who either didnt make cut, or wouldn’t be invited even if they did because they’re not natural fighters.

At least Joan of Arc rode around the front lines in armor with banner and sword rallying the men.

And trannies, lesbians, queers, gays, etc? Lol.

If you don’t parrot the politically correct stance on women while in the military, you can expect an Article 15 in your future. As an Officer, potentially (likely) career ending, although some have survived it.

Jim says:

Rod has proven he is not a shill, but he irritatingly and repetitiously demonstrates he is well to our left, accepting all manner of obviously nuts left wing positions.

And then, like a shill, declines to debate them.

Pax Imperialis says:

I’m always amused by American horror at “warm” and “stale” beer. Europe, and much of the rest of the world isn’t so picky. Different temperatures bring out different flavor profiles. On to the more serious subject.

When he came home, he added, regular life felt “really dull and really inconsequential and really stupid” and it took time to adjust. “Usually for me, at least, it led to a bottle and that’s how you manage it. But you can’t do that forever, obviously, and thank God for the grace of God, otherwise a lot of guys would never pull through.

Though I have never been in combat, yet I can relate. Had to perform first aid on a close family member nearly a decade ago. I was just beginning graduate studies when it happened. The adrenaline rush, the unforgettable complete sense of purpose and how everything just made sense, the absolute norepinephrine induced euphoria and hyper-surreal reality, the death, the clarity, the event seared into my brain to be on continuous replayed every day, the guilt, horror, and sorrow. Nothing in regular life has ever felt the same. Dull and repetitive can’t begin to describe it. I unenthusiastically slogged through my Masters degree, drinking the entire time, and found no further energy for PhD. I went into the military with the desire for war, combat, death. So far I haven’t found what I seek, and so I continue to drink waiting for glory and death.

I drink more than I should, my drunk posting here can attest to that, I’m more than a bit buzzed right now. The only time I’ve forgone drink has been in training, field exercises, and standing duty. Times where action actually felt worthwhile and purposeful. Much is true for many others in the military. We drink to pass the purposeless tedium. I have no doubt Secretary of Defense will have no tedium, and Hegseth will subsequently forego drinking if he hasn’t already. He has been the only one (high profile facefag) to say the quiet part aloud, he has he full faith and backing of the actual warriors, and thus if deployed to the position of SecDef will attempt to bring the reforms required.

There is no end of prattle about Hegseth’s multiple marriages which automatically assume it’s completely a flaw purely in his character. The number of high ranking Officers I know who are divorced, on their second or even third marriage, or even habitually failed to have a relationship in the first place is staggering. If even a full fucking bird or bmlg can’t keep a basic bitch around, what chance does some junior or company officer have? Fuck, what chance does the enlisted have at a stable relationship? This wasn’t a problem in the past, but it is now. Maybe the cause isn’t with the men who have served tirelessly and faithfully, maybe the cause is with the women who are given every incentive and legal protection to defect.

Some worry that Hegseth is overly pro-war/interventionist. I have no doubt he wants to give the warriors what they want. The type of purpose only found in a good fight. Fights that serve a good productive purpose. Back when fighters ran our foreign policy, we had many small profitable wars. Trump is echoing such sentiment with proposals to retake the Panama among other possibilities. A warrior like Hegseth isn’t going to try to drag us into a pointless forever war or a suicidal total war with Russia, and he’s said as much in his criticisms of GWOT. The Caribbean and Latin America has always been American, and so it will be again.

Godspeed Hegseth, and may you crush all threats to America both foreign and domestic.

notglowing says:

If he believes this, he is being naive. So long as the US remains a democracy, it can only keep dabbling in pointless forever wars. I don’t think it would be up to him, not to mention that they only have four years before who knows who takes power after Trump (I remain cautiously optimistic on that front).

Pax Imperialis says:

This was originally meant to be a direct reply to Fidelis, but the same arguments continue to be brought up again and again both directly and indirectly. I myself have said similar to:

It’s in fact rather easy to say “all men are created equal” and then append “when it comes to receiving God’s grace

This phrase is formally and officially held in good standing standing within Christian Natural Law since late 500 AD. It originates from Saint Gregory the Great. Similar to Christianity, it can be found in Greek Stoicism and Roman Law. Saint Gregory is where the Founding Fathers took the phrase from for the Declaration of Independence, though they did so through Enlightenment intermediaries which distorted meaning. There is nothing inherently heretical or wrong or hypocritical with holding and promoting the position of “equality” when understood in the original Christian meaning; however, we are running into the problem of there being different forms of “equality” like how there are different forms of “love” in the Christian tradition.

Jefferson and Franklin used an appended translation of Saint Gregory’s “omnes homines natura aequales genuit” which in full becomes “all men are created equal by nature”, “nature” being used in the same way Nrx uses the term Gnon, and “equal” in the sense of “likeness” or “similar” and not in the mathematical material strictness of “1=1”. You can see “aequales” being used to mean “likeness” or “similar” in the Latin Bible in Luke 20:36

neque enim ultra mori potuerunt: aequales enim angelis sunt, et filii sunt Dei, cum sint filii resurrectionis.

Which translated into KJV english becomes

Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Obviously the men are not materially equal to the angels, but an aspect the men are similar in spirit. This is what “equal” has long been understood to mean to Christians. Thus “all men created equal” is fundamentally an acknowledgement of the Logos and man’s position within Creation as “in the image of God” or imago Dei. Aequales/equality was historically a completely separate concept from God’s “dispensatio occulta” or what we today would call “merit” or biological reality.

Of course there has been significant linguistic and political drift, and if we’re less generous to the Founding Fathers, much of it can be attributed to heresy. It is odd, likely heresy, that they separated the part about Gnon into the independent clause “that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights”. It is more odd that not only do they additionally conflated equality (similarness) in creation with “unalienable rights”, they shy away from outright calling their Creator, their God.

Thus in today’s vernacular, what was “self evident” to Christians of 1776 would best be translated to: “all men are created by God, in God’s image, and blessed by God’s grace”. Of course such the original meaning today is now obscure and even forbidden thoughtcrime. After all, everyone ‘knows’ separation of Church and State is in the constitution just like everyone ‘knows’ the Declarations was talking about material equality (hint, it was not).

Compounding the issue, the Declaration of Independence was first and foremost a legal document in the tradition of English law, i.e. the magna carta and rex inutillis. It was lawyering the legality of separation from the crown. Priests are not lawyers, and lawyers are not priests, and they certainly are not supposed to be doing each other’s job. Jefferson and Franklin, if we’re generous, fucked up by mixing the spirit of theology with the material, and by bridging the two turned “equality” from meaning similar and likeness to “equality” of material. If we’re less generous, American elites were heretical from the get go (Puritans among others) and proceeded use creative wording to slowly twist what was “self evident”.

What I’m getting at, is that when Christians on the Right promote equality, we now do so in a progressive linguistic environment where the left controls the meaning of words. This has made signaling difficult, and we risk sounding like progressives and getting hijacked by entryists. We could accept having to change vernacular to retain meaning, but doing so cedes meaning to the Left. This may be necessary when faced with persecution, but having to forego customs and traditions still feels wrong and horribly like defeat.

Christian equality before the law means murder/theft/etc is a sin to be punished regardless of circumstances. Today’s “equality” before the law means murder/theft/etc can be less of a sin (or maybe not a sin at all) depending on the circumstances. Such a modern “equality” has become so obviously hypocritical and abusive, they now call it equity. The left has similarly twisted and distorted concepts of justice and fairness and beauty and just about everything else. Should we drop those terms as well?

I believe not, especially on an anonymous forum where there are enforced shill testing. Meaning has to be enforced. That said, friendly fire is pointless on in regards to actual equality. Like how Gnon was coined to limit friendly fire between the Christian right and the agnostic Tech right who for all intents and purposes agreed on the worldly project, some similar term in regards to the Christian use of equality would be of help. Yes, equality still means coverture.

Karl says:

No need to drop terms, but as language has shifted we have to use some more words to be understood. When we use word “equal” we simply have to specify in what respect.

Communication with someone who has a different cultural background often requires additional words that are not necessary when we talk to a member of our own community, but if we don’t use those additional words to make it abundantly clear what we mean we will be misunderstood. And that is just honest misunderstandings. Progressives will try to misunderstand anything we say – if we talk to them at all, we should make it as hard for them as possible to misunderstand what we say.

New Year old-school commie film list:

Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears (1979) – Bossgirl single mom rediscovers her femininity due to confident courting by divorced blue collar dude. Epic film, 11 out of 10. First half is three provincial girls choosing their three different life paths. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTWA_7-ld_U&t=8017s

Office Romance (1977) – Bossgirl head of statistics rediscovers her femininity due to inept courting by loser beta saddled with two kids after his first wife left him. Pretty good film, 8.5 out of 10.

Irony of Fate (1976). About 200 million people will watch this film this New Year’s as every New Year. Beta mama’s boy surgeon goes through a series of mishaps and ends up courting a single 30+ teacher. In the first quarter of the film, the group of friends getting drunk in a public bathhouse is an eternal classic of a scene, after that it’s take it or leave it.

At the Brezhnev peak Soviet cinema produced a dozen eternal classics, while the system beneath was slowly rotting away. A curious time-lag, during which pop culture reaches a peak while the system is already going down. The rot caught up from 1981 onward – movies became increasingly bad or good but depressing. By 1991 the USSR was no more.

Elon is still in denial, but Kardashev 7 / Omega Point is impossible if all our resources go to sustain a gazillion gorillion Bantus and Earth becomes a Malthusian Trap. Instead of obsessing over “escaping to Mars as soon as possible,” Elon should focus on fixing things down here on our planet by promoting the only “Effective” form of “Altruism” known to Mankind which is niggerdeath. And, God willing, soon he will, at least internally and by signaling that “he knows.”

The mindset of not looting is completely alien, and I suppose in a degenerated sense, this is just a mobile bandit taking what he can over spoils unguarded.

And this “equilibrium,” is it present with us here in the room right now?

Seriously, look at African TFR – by 2100, some 50% of children are projected to be African. Disease and starvation kept their demography in check, but then they were introduced to Modernity. Even if Africans can potentially reach this equilibrium, they still have a long, long way to go until they reach it – and civilization can’t afford to wait that long.

You shouldn’t underestimate the Infinigger+++ problem. Sailer is one of the smartest, and he rightly considers it to be one of the most attention-worthy matters. I expect a mega-holocaust in Africa this century.

Fidelis says:

Remove leftism and africans are a total non problem. Neither the Afrikaaner nor the Amerikaaner, nor the Portuguese in Angola had any management issues.

Here’s what you do for African population bomb after we remove the leftists. First, apartheid is re-established. Second, enforce the European Marriage Pattern, and I mean enforce. If he has no income, cannot support a family, no pussy. This will be tricky, but the south managed fine. This will choke the birthrate to the economic carrying capacity ceiling, accomplishes the goal with a minimum of cruelty, and provides for ‘natural selection’ to make the population more human-like.

Considering the alternatives — leave them be and watch as a mass famine and disease wave wipes them out? deliberately cull the population? keep feeding them like the biggest horde of stray cats imaginable? — this seems like the very best outcome. The Spanish did something like this in their colonies, kinda sorta, and the indio and negro of LatAm is extraordinarily tame when you compare to the wild type. Similarly the blacks in the south where the old culture stuck after the emancipation, they’re not even close to what you get out of Haiti.

T says:

That would be far more difficult, laborious, and uncertain in terms of achieving the desired results than just letting them die off on their own and occasionally assisting in the culling. Come on, enforcing the European marriage pattern on billions of Africans? Might as well wait for genetic engineering to turn them all into geniuses.

Considering the alternatives — leave them be and watch as a mass famine and disease wave wipes them out? deliberately cull the population?

Yes and yes. The White Man’s Burden is a burden both for the white man and for his subjects, and the burden you are suggesting here is a veritable yoke. My prediction seems a bit more realistic, alas.

Fidelis says:

Consider the success of the Spanish and Portuguese in managing their colonies, the success of the EIC in starting the cleanup in India, and the success of the antebellum south. You are overestimating the difficulty, and we have far more operational management tools than our predecessors. There is a reason they were used as the preimdustrial workforce, and that’s in large part the compliancy of the race. Indios would wither and die when you enforced European civilization and industry, negros thrived.

Also consider that African tfr is likely fake and dropping fast, blacks in America are sub replacement now, and I believe quite close to the line if not below it in Brazil. Get whites back in control of agriculture, no food donations needed.

African land is very useful, they’re never going to be just left to their own devices. That leaves few options. Enforcing a strong control system is the least cruel and therefore most likely outcome, as whites when not under demonic faiths are the most compassionate towards life in general.

In addition this selection pressure will tend to select for an ever growing Middle Class which will provide the Wealth to finance the State and who as a Class will then eventually swamp the society and sweep away the rest of the more savage:

And which State will also enforce sanctions against anti-social behavior. Reducing psychopathy and sociopathy. And creating even therefore more space for said Industrious subsection of the African population to grow.

For 2025 people should take a real hard look at the strategy.
Find a fairly White place with already White aligned people, and move there.
If a house or building comes up for sale in your neighborhood, buy it and keep it until you find a white family that needs a house, don’t leave the houses up to random chance because then you’ll be stuck with them till they move or you buy them out.
Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Blacks… everyone else has made their own type of no-go zone enclaves in your land, BUT YOU, the White Race of White Men.
Forget about religion/politic, get down to carnal base layer DNA shit….. Are you a Fellow White Man or not???, if so, move here among your brothers, and protect your family and nature and culture.
There are no laws preventing your free association land ownership, and almost no laws preventing keeping others out of business (except for maybe rentals, or baking cakes, but they have to have proof of conspiracy, not conjecture), so just do it.
From there you can start your churches, own your businesses, marry off your daughters, etc. Every time you work with a White Man be sure to thank them and tell them you chose their business because of that.
Give yourself access to International Waters, and eventually you can try self-rule and even seceding by default of having built something stronger.
But for so long as you (and your “democracy” vote) remain washed out by everyone else, you will have a much harder time.
You need to grow your Area Control until you own the political system of the area, and keep growing larger.

Jim says:

Nuts

Whites are wolf to whites. Always have been, always will be.

You have to arrange for cohesion on the basis of faith, not race. Whites, being the race most capable at warfare, are just not inclined to cohesion on the basis of race. For most of our history, we fought wars over other races, not wars with them, and the other races just had to put up with the winner.

Rod says:

A species that doesn’t have the base-of-skull DNA to cohesive itself for its own species/race, first and foremost, probably also doesn’t have the higher level DNA necessary to contemplate a Faith.
A Faith can usefully span races, but if you’re already fighting wars over them based on base-of-skull and higher layer differences, that’s probably confirmative as to those diffs.
If Apes and Whites are both still clubbing themselves at the base of the skull, then God help us all, because a Faith probably won’t.
When a species develops basic base-of-skull respect for itself, then it can focus on higher Faith.
There is a Basic Underlying Faith exchanged and built in thanking appreciating respecting and choosing to live among your fellow man.

Jim says:

When Aryans conquered the world, we did so as a thousand lethally quarreling, wife stealing, and cattle raiding families. We have never cohered. We are not going to. That did not stop us.

And ever since then, have been looking, with varying degrees of success, for some solution. Throne and Altar worked fairly well. Pete Hegseth is planning the Altar part of the solution.

The King part of it is likely to be come one way or another way, sooner or later. Altar has worked. Race has not.

Fidelis says:

Pretty sure humans have never achieved large scale cohesion on racial grounds, and the places it occurs spontaneously are in artificial conditions. Prisons, schools, and small islands.

That said, a lot of early attempts at Altar are suspiciously racial. We are all sons of Big Man. Altar also happens to be suspiciously racial in practice even with ostensibly universal religions like Mohammedism. People invent theological differences and then self sort on, admittedly weak but extant, ethnic grounds when the Altar tent gets too big.

If you want a race, in our times where selection is mostly driven by ourselves and distances are short, need to pick a faith that attracts your ethnic group and repels the other, and this is quite possible in practice. Jews have high standards of admission but do admit, but most people don’t want to become jews. In time intermarriage and common folkways means your faith becomes your race, hence the P in WASP.

Jim says:

> a lot of early attempts at Altar are suspiciously racial.

Indeed they are. But race by itself is insufficient glue.

Conversely, faith by itself is insufficient glue. Observe the spontaneous segregation of black churches and white churches. But a black church and a white church that theoretically subscribe to the same religion seem to get on better than two churches that subscribe to different religions. We have had a lot of holy wars. Race wars not so much. And even Haiti was more leftism versus Christianity than black versus white. Voodoo was a huge factor, and once whites left, under pressure from a white metropolis that was politically aligned with Haitian blacks more than it was racially aligned with Haitian whites, the blacks continued the war with each other. Race matters, it matters a great deal. But in practice, faith matters more.

That race does not matter at all is an absurd leftist position. But another absurd position is that faith does not matter at all, because the ever changing, and ever faster changing, faith of leftism is not a faith, it is just reality — which reality they get to make up as they go along and no one else is allowed any input, everyone else’s input being misinfo, disinfo, and “hatred”.

Woke is whiter than any other group, and as we saw during the recent events in Israel, not very Jewish.

Evangelical Christians are pro Jewish. Jews are anti evangelical Christian and pro Woke. Woke is anti Jewish and anti Evangelical Christian.

The coming civil war is going to be white on white, and everyone else is going to suck up to the winner.

Fidelis says:

woke not very Jewish

Are you sure? I was under the impression many of the most hysterical supporters of the opressed browns in the levant were in fact ethnic jews. Definitely have seen jews complain about other jews for picking the wrong side in the conflict. Jews make great priests and so we do find lots of woke jewish priests trying to eliminate jews.

Observe the spontaneous segregation of black churches and white churches.

Blacks seem to be a special case. I think they are sufficiently different as a population that mixed congregations are just too uncomfortable. With mestizos, levantines, and east asians, when they wander off from whatever home church they inherited from family, or stumble in to a congregation from marriage or evangelism, tend to fit in well enough, but even individual blacks in a mostly white church are rare. Looks like as churches become decrepit self sorting is more powered by faith than ethne. Who knows what the future holds on this one, even if we restore coverture the selection effects are going to be quite strange.

Jim says:

> so we do find lots of woke jewish priests trying to eliminate jews.

Exactly so.

But who are these Jews sucking up to? They are sucking up to white liberals.

Jews hate evangelical Christians because they are afraid to hate white liberals.

You should never become so anti semitic that you forget that white liberals are the worst people in the world.

T says:

Following 10.7, there has been developing a hardcore (not to put too fine a point on it: hardcore) split between the Zionists and the anti-Zionists. The Jews of the Left are literally and metaphorically amalgamating into a broader Gnostic Freakshow Tribe – the worldwide degenerate tribe of stupid, evil, and insane leftists, aka the woke tribe. Conversely, those young Jews who are anti-woke are also not particularly hostile to Christianity – the Trad Person is never particularly hostile to any successful religion. The Trad person is naturally hostile to woke, however, because woke is a full, total inversion of God’s Will.

But I’m only saying it in my capacity as Mossad plant, so feel free to discard this opinion.

T says:

The Jewish Problem fundamentally is that gene-culture co-evolution created a sub-race of people who are naturally predisposed to various types of evil and dysfunction, meaning those types of evil and dysfunction are present among them in higher rates than among others. What is currently happening, however, is that demon-worshippers worldwide undergo genetic-cultural co-evolutionary processes that both tie them together through interbreeding and weed them out of their original gene-pools, all while those types also tend to be the least fertile. Since Jew-specific evil and dysfunction still abound among the original population, the majority of Jews are demon-worshippers, some of whom might repent, and many of whom will have to be “physically removed,” while the healthier element is currently in the minority. Of course, even under the best of selective conditions, Jews will never select for traits as prosocial as Christianity selects for, which is why the healthiest anti-woke type of Jews convert to Christianity.

T says:

Ultimately, if Israel doesn’t become a Christian state, it will not survive, not so much due to external factors as due to internal factors – Orthodox Judaism is superior to Progressivism, but is still very unhealthy, because the theology itself is fundamentally flawed. Orthodox Judaism as a state religion might spell the death of Israel, in the long-run.

T says:

I am willing to be proven wrong on this – if the West doesn’t undergo a revival and Christendom is utterly destroyed, while the Zionist Entity actually becomes based (currently it is not based), then Gnon will bestow His favor on the Jews once again. But I want a revival of the West and Christendom, whether under 1660 Anglicanism or under something (at this point theoretical) even more Gnon-compatible than that, if indeed there is such a thing.

T says:

Peak civilization combines optimal (up until that point) genes and optimal (up until that point) memes. That, according to Jim, was 1660 England. But conditions today might be different both genetically and memetically, hence the NRx memeplex is rather fluid on these points, while recognizing what genes and what memes constituted the optimum in the past.

Pax Imperialis says:

@Fidelis

>>woke not very Jewish
> Are you sure?

There are some Jews like that, but by in large it’s mostly upper middle class whites. The recent anti-Israel protests on US campuses has also been a wake up call for Jewish students. Hard to be attending anti Israel protests when they’re yammering for your blood.

Having grown up in and around the lower elite, I cannot stress enough just how much progressivism is a spiritual malaise of White (Anglo) Americans. Whenever I, increasingly rarely, check up on my graduating high-school class, it’s a shit show of feminism, body positivity, queerness, Ukrainian flags in bios, Free Palestine posting, etc… And far too many of them went to Harvard or similar and now work in the Cathedral.

I remember one of my K-12 school counselors, an obese White women giving a lecture on body acceptance. This was close to 2 decades before body positivity became mainstream. From the Puritans to Jonestown to even Obama (his communist white heritage and a descendant of Plymouth), the trend is clear. There are terrible Jews who do terrible things, but they are an easy target to scapegoat in order to avoid having to do some painful self reflection on problems that predominately come from within.

Jews did not ostracize me for pointing out gays were clearly dysfunctional. I remember the entire White classroom falling silent in shock when I said that out loud. Jews did not kick me out of the class and call me a Nazi for calling hemp oil green energy a clear scam, my White pot smoking hippy teacher did that. Even in the military, it was the Whitest of huWhite Whites who said faggot phrases like, “it’s 2024, you can’t say those things”. Jews did not… well the examples are endless and I think you get the point. 99% of the time, I ask you, who is going to screech and complain about your based opinions in day to day life? I’d bet it’s some Karen in HR. I’ll leave with this last example, I promise. I know a White female officer who has openly insulted all lower class Whites as uneducated racist and sexist idiots. Not a single White in the room (of course all of them had college degrees) called her out on that and she faced no legal ramifications. I’m sure her men are going to love her.

Lastly I ask you, what group was it that ultimately made the decision to allow a massive influx of Jews into America in the first place? And why? I think you already know the answer to that.

Fidelis says:

I’m not blaming jews for woke, though they definitely had a role in the color of some of it’s memes. I’m pointing out that when these protests were happening, you had two groups of jews accusing each other of genociding, while secretly hoping to genocide. One wanted the Israelites to die, the other wanted Palestinians gone. I thought the whole scene was quite darkly amusing.

I would bet that jews make up a significant portion of the more vocal and powerful left, if we’re counting numbers, as they like both priesting and cozying up to power, and early leftism promoted them for not being WASP. So woke is pretty jewish in that sense, but I don’t give them the honor of starting the whole process. I think Nick Land said it best

Never get so racist antisemetic that you forget white liberals are the worst people in the world

T says:

Groypers should read Chesterton, not instead of Kevin MacDonald, but in addition to KMac. The latter explains and critiques the Jewish nature of late 20th and early 21st century leftism, while the former explains and critiques the (White) Prog nature of late 19th and early 20th century leftism.

What is happening right now in Thermidor is partly the result of Jews themselves reading KMac and taking his critique rather seriously. It is interesting, too, that the Jews never truly persecuted KMac – by all means, the most critical anti-Jewish ideologue alive, yet the Jews seem to have left him alone pretty much unharmed. Maybe they appreciate his intellectualism or something.

JustAnotherGuy says:

“Indeed they are. But race by itself is insufficient glue.”

This is what Oswald Spengler had to say about it:

“Through the economic history of every Culture there runs a desperate conflict waged by the soil-rooted tradition of a race, by its soul, against the spirit of money.”

Jim says:

Yes, but the soil is useless without a soil rooted tradition. Which is to say a soil rooted faith. Which is easily lost. The people who say “white solidarity” are saying that the soil itself suffices. It does not.

JustAnotherGuy says:

“The standpoint from which to comprehend the economic history of great Cultures is not to be looked for on economic ground. […] Least of all is the secure standpoint to be had on the basis of the present-day world-economics, which for the last 150 years has been mounting fantastically, perilously, and in the end almost desperately an economics, moreover, that is exclusively Western-dynamic, anything but common-human. That which we call national economy to-day is built up on premisses that are openly and specifically English. The industry of machines, which is unknown to all other Cultures, stands in the centre as though it were a matter of course and, without men being conscious of the fact, completely dominates the formulation of ideas and the deduction of so-called laws. Credit-money, in the special form imparted to it by the relations of world-trade and export-industry in a peasantless England, serves as the foundation whereupon to define words like capital, value, price, property and the definitions are then transferred without more ado to other Culture-stages and life-cycles. […] The creators of this economic picture were David Hume and Adam Smith. Everything that has since been written about them or against them always presupposes the critical structure and methods of their systems. […] As for Smith’s greatest adversary, Marx, it matters little how loudly one protests against English capitalism when one is thoroughly imbued with its images; the protest is itself a recognition, and its only aim is, through a new kind of accounting, to confer upon objects the advantage of being subjects.”

What was Jim’s stance on Oswald Spengler? He didn’t like the natsocs all that much, but is he just a commie with more sophisticated language?

T says:

Convergent memetic evolution (or memetic carcinization in NRx-speak) produces similar social technologies in separate civilizations, for example coverture and its equivalents, which the holier-than-thou maniacs, whatever shape their worldviews might shifts to, are always attempting to disrupt. Second Temple Jews had developed a relatively decent Gnon-compliant memeplex before the Pharisees corrupted it, and Anglos had developed an even more robust Gnon-compliant memeplex before the Liberals turned it on its head. Thus the Anglos became a New Israel indeed, not in the blessed sense, but in the cursed sense – whence, e.g., Feminism, which is Anglos turning the inter-sexual cooperate-cooperate equilibrium (upheld by those social technologies selected by memetic evolution) into the defect-defect equilibrium of players, bitches, and incels. That is the meaning of a Chosen People becoming an Un-Chosen People, not so much in the genetic sense, as that would require long-term adaption to a corrupted social environment (as the Jews had undergone under Orthodox Judaism), but chiefly memetically. The higher you climb up, the harsher will be your fall.

But it’s exactly because the Anglos are corrupted memetically rather than genetically that they are still the undisputed master race, and they may yet recover and spring back to life if they commence anew pursuing a healthy memeplex. Virtually every ethnicity can produce both prosocial and antisocial priesthoods, and the task is to replace the satanic priesthood currently in power among the Anglos with a godly priesthood. A healthy priesthood would apply good memes to good genes to produce the kind of civilization Gnon expects His Chosen People to advance. Anglos may yet return to being the New Israel in the blessed sense.

T says:

What was Jim’s stance on Oswald Spengler? He didn’t like the natsocs all that much, but is he just a commie with more sophisticated language?

If nothing else, German thinkers are thought-provoking. The thing about Jews is that when they dissented against the Liberal Anglos, it was usually an enocomics-centered sort of dissent: Communism from the Left, Libertarianism from the Right. The Germans, in contrast, are not by nature greedy, and therefore their critique is usually focused on more essential aspects of society. As Dugin might say, the Jews have joined themselves to the Anglos’ Atlanticist worldview, while the Germans have, for the most part, remained spiritually Eurasian. Indeed, Spengler is right about Marxism: this Anglo-Jewish chimera is fundamentally Atlanticist even while attempting to be anti-mercantile. It is the anti-mercantilism of merchants. The Jewish Libertarians, if we continue along this line of thought, were attempting to be even more spiritually Atlanticist than the Anglo archetype.

So what Marxism-friendly Dugin apperas to miss, and Spengler did not miss, is that Marxism is essentially an Atlanticist worldview, not a Eurasian one, hence we learn that Jews (be they Communists or Libertarians) are memetically pwned by Anglos. The Germans, at least, are to be praised for not being market-centric; for having some memetic sovereignty, independent of the mercantile Anglo.

The Cominator says:

Kant and the German idealists should have burned alive, on that Ayn Rand was absolutely right. Yes maybe consciousness creates reality I’m not a materialist either and I don’t really like dogmatic materialists but don’t try to go from the reasonable proposition that maybe your consciousness effects reality and perhaps even that the universe is in summation a dream in the fractured mind of God (who has fractured himself into individual units of consciousness) to then invert logic and causal reasoning down to postmodern nonsense down that road lies damnation.

Rod says:

Once a people have left a Faith, it’s almost impossible to get them back into that Faith.
Force doesn’t work as breeds even more resentment.
Bribery doesn’t work as one more fault to their list of issues.
They look around and see the same problems in all, so they end up joining none, or touristing them, or in a new/modified one.
You could grow a new mass of Faith adjacent to those former peoples, and see cultural affinity/pressure lead them back in.
Or remedy the issues they saw in the one they left.
Or remove the False Preachers that led them astray, and begin Preaching Correct.
Might take a while for larger swings.

Look for examples of where a whole people generally drifted/left a Faith and then voluntarily returned.

Jim says:

> Once a people have left a Faith, it’s almost impossible to get them back into that Faith.

Nobody left the faith. People just swallowed what they were taught in school. When schools were Christian, they grew up Christian, now schools are woke, so they grow up woke.

Most people just follow power. When power changes, they change their beliefs. Observe the mass unwoking following Trump’s election. If after Trump, Pete Hegseth, you will see a similar mass Christianisation.

The way Christianity spread is that pagan kings would fight each other and fight Christian Kings, but Christian Kings tended to fight Christian kings a good deal less. When a pagan King was defeated, Christian Kings were apt to swordpoint convert the pagan leader, figuring that the peace was more likely to hold that way, but they would not swordpoint convert everyone. However, a generation or two later, everyone was Christian.

cub says:

@Pax Imperialis

Any false religion will have a mass of true believer followers and a minority leadership of sociopathic liars. Think of how cults work.

The white leftist true believers that comprise the majority of globohomo have an excess of empathy (characteristic of white people) and are incapable of identifying threats and danger (characteristic of rich, safe civilizations like the ones white people build). Mental children, in a sense.

These are not the thought leaders of leftism, they are the followers. The actual leader of this death cult, if not the great Deceiver himself, are his people, the synagogue of Satan, what we refer to as “Jews”- history’s most notorious liars. They have a long history of exploiting white empathy and guilt (our greatest weakness) and poisoning white countries while practicing ethnocentrism, nepotism, etc. amongst themselves… the exact kind of hypocrisy you’d expect from sociopaths trying to mislead a flock of sheep.

It’s true that empathy and guilt can be shortcomings of white people, but they are also part of what made our societies great. If we select against these tendencies instead of eliminating the race of demons that exploit them, then we risk losing what makes us successful in the first place.

While I’m at it, I’d like to point out that the recent Elon drama has provided yet more evidence for why national socialism is a good idea. Corporate interests ought to be secondary to the interests of the nation (meaning white Americans).

The Cominator says:

Cub you sound very much like you are attributing your wignattish/groyperish beliefs to OUR beliefs which they are not. Reform jews are excessively on the left but jews are not essential to leftism. National Socialism doesn’t work economically though there is a good argument that the vast majority of our current elite have views which necessitates them being killed in something that would look very much like a bolshevik mass killing of the upper classes (but for ideological reasons primarily in that dissent is far less tolerable in people with money and power) and their assets auctioned off.

T says:

You fell for the psyop, Cub.

Sin has been with us, universally, since the very beginning; to believe it was (or is) introduced by any one ethnicity or faith is Djinn-brain sort of thinking. This is not to discount the fact that some groups, notably the Jews, have been selected for greater sinfulness than others; but giving everyone else a pass — giving white liberals a pass — because “it’s just the Jews bro” is nuts.

There has been sin long before there have Jews, and sin will remain even if all Jews evaporate, which they well might. Leftism (or social entropy induced by a wicked priesthood) drives the downfall of civilizations independently of the Jew factor – the problem, alas, is endemic to Aryans and to all civilized peoples.

The WP is usually the Original Sin – not the Jews.

T says:

And socialism is no cure for greed. A ruling class guided by “salus populi suprema lex” does not let the rich import replacements for the People; however, to go after the rich man’s wealth is itself greed-motivated, and should be strongly discouraged. After all, Gnon’s will is manifest in the catallaxy, too. (But not exclusively there, as Atlanticist thinkers are prone to think.) Rather, you have a King, and the King tells the money-people whenever their antisocial proclivities threaten to get out of hand, “Don’t.” And only if they disobey the King do you come down on them like a ton of bricks.

T says:

Socialists always tell the peasant with one cow that his oppressor is the peasant with two cows. It’s always the same story. And then you run out of other people’s money which you have coveted, and failing to establish a functional incentive structure for genetation of weath (EWWW CAPITAL, GROSS!), you get annihilated sooner or later. Socialists would rather shake the magical money-tree and see if any dollar falls down. The magic is apt to cease very quickly.

Hitler screwed up, and was a botched incarnation of Odin, particularly due to low libido. (If he had high libido, he would have focused on different issues altogether. Maybe Horny Hegseth is the real Odin.) Also due to socialism, which is contrary to God’s will, for God gave us the catallaxy as a means of expressing His will, although it’s only one vector, and in my view not the most important one. Repeating Hitler will inevitably repeat his results – Germany has no nukes and is memetically pwned by Anglos. No hard power, no soft power, dominated by one’s enemies. That’s the real-life result of national socialism.

T says:

Billionaire Thiel is not exactly based (gays can never be truly based), but he is a staunch anti-deathist aka immortalist, and he might see NRx as means of pursuing that agenda – and there’s a reason why in Spandrell’s triune conceptualization of NRx, one of the branches is techno-commercialism. The catallaxy is needed; it just should not be worshipped as the ultimate vehicle of Gnon, because it is not. It’s only one of the vehicles. But it’s important, and you want people like Thiel on your side.

He is filling up the blog with news that is news to no one. Waste of space. He does sound very like a shill. I just don’t know what he is shilling. Could be a Thermidorean shill?

Thought crime test not working. What is he selling? Could be the war faction of Thermidor?

Thermidor might be drifting rightwards. We know some namefags who definitely lurk here, they spread our memes and ideas, and just today I noticed increasing Twitter whispers of advocating Regime Change in America (in the form of comparisons to late USSR).

I usually don’t even read his comments, since they are mostly link spam and don’t generate a discussion, but that one didn’t have any links.

Fidelis says:

Going further down that same comment chain, he did derail a discussion on spam mitigation and new social media by spewing a long barely relavant post on how crypto doesnt work and cannot work, that is very uninformed and false but superficially relevant enough you would have to take time to explain why it is bullshit. After which the discussion is derailed and he would sail along anyway ignoring the rebuttal, as we’ve seen elsewhere.

The guy is clearly a shill, the only questions now are what organization and how do you update the test in response.

Jim says:

Yes. It is now obvious he is a shill, seeking to shut down discussion that they do not want us to have.

And yet it is now completely obvious he is a shill of the war faction of Thermidor, attempting to shut down discussion to its right. They want a remarkable amount of unwoking, but are terrified of too much unwoking.

So what are Thermidorean shills unable to say?

Which discussions make them afraid?

He presents as a white solidarity racist, while unable to say what the problem is with Jews. His white solidarity racism is incompatible with his endless posting of pro war links. Actual white nationalists are isolationist.

Classic shill indicator. Incoherent claims of political identity.

But Rod can speak the unthinkable crime thought, that female emancipation has been bad for everyone, including women. He can touch the third rail.

Thermidor is broad coalition, embracing conflicting aims and ideologies. So, unsurprising if they do not have a long, long, long, list of what is unsayable and unspeakable. Rather, they have objectives. Don’t like Trump’s isolationist wing, don’t like his anti big pharma wing, and particularly do not like his Christian Nationalist wing.

If they do not have a long, long, long list, then the basic operating principle of the shill test does not work.

Fidelis says:

Woman question, they want TFR with consent.

Ukraine question, they cannot see how retaliation to color revolution is justified.

Throne and Altar question, can see social cohesion is based on faith, can see “no bishop no nation”, cannot see that you need warriors on the opposite pole on that axis to prevent priests from turning all of life into a priestly committee deciding based on holiness.

Can he respond to your post on why the Russian side of the war is Just, at the very least acknowledging the contents of the argument when disagreeing?

Jim says:

Female consent is opaque, and most opaque to the woman herself. Therefore having laws and ceremonies that turn on female consent just does not work, generates alarmingly counterproductive results.

That is not a point that he has responded to, lets see if he can respond to it.

He has not responded to the argument that Russia’s war on the color revolutionary government was just, and color revolution is iself unjust. Let us see if he can notice that anyone thinks that color revolution is unjust.

He has continually denied that you always have a state religion, even though that is obviously not a forbidden point for Thermidor, Let see if he can respond to Peter Hegseth’s position that an army and a school system always has, needs, and promotes a faith. And is currently promoting the faith of woke, and that you can only remove the faith of woke by replacing it with another faith. Obviously some in Thermidor are OK with that position, but I am pretty sure he comes from the branch of Thermidor that does not like that position at all, being scarily close to the Christian Nationalist position.

If he wants to argue against it, fine, but if he cannot acknowledge that anyone is even pushing that argument, an argument that is now massively mainstream, then shillish unresponsiveness. And unresponsiveness has long been against this blog’s policy.

@Jim

The marriage Covenant based on Consent is because of the Theology of how people relate to God.

God is the Man and Saved Mankind is his Bride. But she is his Bride by her Consent to his offer. God doesn’t force himself onto anyone but respects the boundaries of our Free Will. So Men in imitation of Christ to potential members of the Bride ought to do the same.

A Fractal Imitation of the Greater Pattern.

This Pattern repeats itself in the Old Testament and the New Testament.

If Humanity has Free Will. So does Woman to accept or reject. With the consequences thereof. So the belief goes.

Jim says:

I cannot find evidence of “I do” in orthodox Christianity before 1600 or so. and no “I do” in Roman Catholicism before the schism.

Jim says:

> If Humanity has Free Will so does Woman to accept or reject.

This sounds remarkably like “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.”

As T points, out Ezekiel 16 also discusses the analogy of marriage and the Church, and forcefully proposes a different view on marriage and consent.

T says:

But she is his Bride by her Consent to his offer.

Read Ezekiel 16.

Adam says:

> But she is his Bride by her Consent to his offer.

As far as the church being the bride of Christ etc…

Seems a much better interpretation is that without a firm hand, she (the church) will be a shit testing harpy bitch prone to betrayal. Just like an actual wife.

Only real “preparation” is to remove all the Muslims and never let them in. Islam comes at you from wherever it lives and breeds for decades, not just from current “border crossings”.

Never trust any mouthpiece that refuses to speak the word “Islam”… they are at best ignorant, at middle confused and incapable, at worst hiding their agenda from you.

Citizens aren’t expected to know about Islam, Politicians are, and the GloboHomo Elites do. When Muslims start magdumping on the KidsLand at the Shopping Malls, just remember who it was that designed and let them in.

I allowed through two links not because they are news to anyone here, but because they are typical of all the others.

Yes, the Covid regime wants another go, this time with Bird flu.

But the actual news, which your link neglects to provide, is that they gave Bird Flu gain of function genetic modification to make it more lethal in humans.

This was quite moronic of them, because the wild Bird Flu that they created their genetically modified version from was already quite lethal in humans, its weakness is that it cannot easily pass from one human to another.

This research was piously reported as “scientists showed that Bird Flu could mutate to become more infectious to humans” — by which they meant that they had produced in the lab a genetically modified Bird Flu more infectious.

No they have not.

Looks like the work of tech lead Shaniqua. The genetic modification is unlikely to make it more infectious, but merely more lethal to humans (and less infectious to birds).

Fortunately for us, our enemies are incompetent.

It is not Covid II. They fucked up. That is the news. Bird Flus have crossed over to humans before, and undoubtedly will again, but have achieved greater infectiousness by the opposite modification, becoming less lethal.

Justin Trudeau had a Liberal Party fundraiser in Vancouver with a number of Chinese Nationals that included individuals in United Front groups with official ties to Beijing, along with former Liberal multiculturalism minister and prominent party fundraiser Raymond Chan. Numerous donations into Trudeau’s personal Montreal election riding flowed after this Vancouver dinner.

Fidelis says:

The more you learn about the world at large, the more you observe the youth in foreign countries, the more you observe the politics and philosophy of foreign states, the more obvious it becomes that the world is not at all multipolar. There’s only one game in town, and the winner of the throne in the coming Crisis doesn’t just inherit some Atlantic empire, they inherit the future of all men.

The Russian youth define themselves almost entirely by the American “culture war”, even the ones that are anti-GAE are moreso anti-GAE from an Amerikaaner lens than a Russian nationalist lens. Russian nationalist because Russian and anti-GAE, attempting necromancy on Russian philosophy, a Russian faith, in order to have something to put in place of GAE mindworms. The other half are performatively shitlib leftist.

The Han have no ideology but shitlib leftism and biological instinct. The youth are divided between wanting GAE with Chinese characteristics, the non-faith of just wanting money and power, and a tiny fringe of radical nationalism that seems primarily motivated by having a chip on their shoulder about not inventing Modernity.

The smaller states usually reflect the Han. A mix of performative GAE progressivism contrasted against a desire for tribal sovereignty. There’s nothing there that constitutes a strong and unique national faith or ideology, it’s either prog memes or biological drive to money, power and tribal affiliation.

The whole world has inherited the “culture war”, and the whole world just imitates the west. Should the west cannibalize itself, no one is shedding the yoke and inheriting the future. China will choke all industry until nothing is left but peasants scratching in the dirt. Russia perhaps has a chance at preserving something of modernity, but it’s dicey and remains to be seen. If the GAE implodes, seems likely to collapse into petty politics fighting over local monopolies. Someone like Newton emerging and advancing human understanding will be killed when they sperg out about some minor thing that offends the local owner of the nickel processing plant.

Everywhere else has zero chance. It’s all low trust barely functioning industry that will decay and decay until we return to serfdom and petty tribal politics. There’s no one out there that understands why modernity requires property, that understands how we went from dirt farmers to putting men in space, that even cares about anything beyond their next bowl of slop and making sure their clan wins over its neighbor. The only people capable of winning the stars, is us. We’re it. There’s no other game in town.

JustAnotherGuy says:

Spandrell also said something to the effect that we’ve gotten all the easily available materials needed for the industrial revolution, and should the industrial part end this century, there is no coming back.

I thought to myself “why?” But it becomes obvious the reason being because no one will pick up the pieces of what was left and just cannibalize it for spare parts or doing some voodoo magic to make the rain fall.

That everyone in the world wears a suit, should tell you how anglicized we’ve all become. But you know, I’ve been thinking, isn’t it funny that most of this stuff is… ancient?

There’s billions of more white people in the world, and yet there has been nothing new for quite a while. The anime industry is something salvaged from the wreck of world war 2, originally just a propaganda machine for glorious nippon empire, now serves as a commodity that has gripped most of the youth in the world.

I watched ‘Astartes’ again, and then looked at what that guy made for amazon’s Secret Level space marine episode. There is just this one guy… out of 8 billion… that knows how to do 3D animations and effects. I keep thinking to myself. “There’s no way that can be right? There is just one dude who was responsible for a lot of the great works we have today?” Animation and 3D effects could not be easier now, and yet, all the factory-made men of the world, lack the vigor to just get *started* on it.

I have seen Mr. grinding chinese man make his 3D shows, and I am simply not impressed. Something fundamental is lacking in all of them, something his endless mass of meat cohorts cannot seem to grasp or build.

Despite all the billions of people in the world, you can count up to the thousands of who are responsible for all the great and demonic works today. Everyone else seems like they only think of food, sex, and sleep. Like an endless static noise in the void of space.

Fidelis says:

This is what I mean, except deeper, and worse. The politicians, the dictators, the generals, the oligarchs, none of them anywhere do anything interesting. Can you imagine Putin airlifting a promising but blocked out by academia physicist-philosopher to come tutor his children or grandchildren? This used to be a common thing among European aristocracy, going all the way back to the greeks. Now? Xi sends his daughter to Harvard for a degree in psychology.

Peasants will always be peasants, I don’t expect them to give rise to great culture, but the elite everywhere are spiritual peasants and they compete for western status and prestige.

If you’re smart, you love ideas, and the best place to discuss ideas is online. So now were in this position where the next elite, globally, has now grown up consuming internet media, which is secretly just american memes. There’s no other game in town. There’s no secret based university of counter philosophy in China or Russia, let alone in Brazil or Eastern Europe or Turkey.

If you look at the zoomers, globally they’ve adopted similar styles and attitudes. They all get the same haircuts, wear the same clothes, compete in the same status games. Even the girls are all getting the same shitty graffiti like tattoos, almost always in English! It’s just America, but everywhere.

The only memes I’ve ever seen, anywhere, capable of reversing the descent into dirt peasant low trust medieval globalism, are ours. We are it. No one else is in this game but us. Sure some might oppose GAE on ethnic terms, on account of instinctual revulsion, but not on ideological terms. No one is opposing GAE memes because it turns humans into something less than an animal, it stops us from breeding ourselves higher, it stops us from breaking the cycle of Malthusian subsistence.

If we lose, that’s it. Game over. No reruns. Enjoy the fruits of the Earth and your ugly cousin bride, repeated some 10,000 generations before the Sun expands and boils away the remains.

T says:

You are correct.

Brains are far more powerful than nukes – nukes allow you to possess memetic sovereignty, but without brainpower you’re not going to have that, you’ll just run a (slight) variation on the GAE’s monoculture. Russia and China are thoroughly memetically pwned by Anglo-Judea, have been for over a century, even though they need not be. They only object to the global monoculture (when indeed they do) using the monoculture’s own memeplex. The other poaster who linked the Rammstein video was right, “We’re all living in America.” Dugin wants to fix that, he wants Russian memetic sovereignty, but I doubt he can deiver what he is selling, not least because he is thoroughly memetically pwned himself. He literally supports BLM, etc.

Chuds and shitlords should not expect Redemption from the GAE’s hegemonic rivals – the Russians and the Chinese are also living in globomerica, although naturally they are averse to certain aspects of the Anglo’s (or Judeo-Anglo’s, but let’s not give the Jews too much credit) weltanschauung. Only the Cult of Gnon can memetically disrupt or ‘psyop’ Harvard’s monoculture; the NRx-sphere (and its adjacent meme-pools, e.g., the Manosphere now known as the Incelosphere) has been, since its very inception earlier this century, the only real game in town. Everything depends on the establishment of Throne-and-Altar in America, whatever the exact governmental configuration; for America is the brain of the monoculture.

It’s just frustrating incompetence all around. Why doesn’t the Ummah have its own social media network? It’s not that hard to build one, especially with modern datacenters and programming. Do you not care? I don’t think they care! The Arab royalty competes in western status games.

The Russians have a real need for this, more than about anyone, and have the best excuse to do it while under sanction and general demonization from the west. Putin instead is playing Crusader Kings without the bloodlines. Where is your globally prestigious University, oh Tsar? Why don’t your rockets fly twice? I know there are plenty of smart Russians left, and many of them fled west post-USSR. You don’t want them back? What are you doing to bring them back?

Dubai is very wealthy, and uses the wealth to do… what, exactly? Why aren’t they pushing for nuclear sovereignty? They could probably get away with it before Iran. The leadership is young enough to be capable of change, they. just. don’t. care. Build nukes in the desert, take real sovereignty, establish dissident universities, keep your blood and soil praetorians to manage it all, enjoy undying fame.

China is at least trying to flex soft power muscle. It’s working a little bit. They don’t have self confidence when it comes to real innovative thought I feel like. Their M.O. seems to be catch up, productionize, repeat. When you investigate, they have national policy goals executed with great competence, but the national policy is just “be the GAE but with more and cheaper and maybe slighty better stuff.” There’s nothing there underneath. If whites are said to be inherently theological under the hood, despite pretending to be pragmatic rationalists, China seems to be the opposite. They pretend to be some theocracy of Chinese marxists, just a billion wannabe middle managers. Middle Kingdom of mediocrity.

Tanks on Harvard yard is the demolition phase, which surely can’t come soon enough; to avoid a “cerebral vacuum,” however, need a new intelligentsia, or Priesthood as we prefer to call it. I see signs thereof on Twitter (“we are the media now”), shitpoasters are now more powerful than professors, but considering how bluepilled most people are on the WP, which is the most fundamental issue, there is still a long way to go. Moldbug is wrong in expecting no major violence during the Regime Change (lmao), but he is right about the need to know where you are going post-RC. The nascent priesthood doesn’t know yet where it is going.

I don’t think it’s realistic to expect Arabs, East-Asians, or even Slavs to competently counter the Harvard Hegemony.

Point of pedantry: at this time there is about one billion whites in the world, not several.

Half a decade ago there was a lively discussion in a specific forum on who is huwhite and who isn’t. North Europeans sure. Slavs? Italians? Celts? Turks? Armenians? Chechens? Egyptians? Algerians? Upper caste Indians and Pakis? Light skinned Latinos?

In the end the consensus was “if the nipples and the cunt are pink, they’re white. If they’re purple, they ain’t white”.

So yeah. If we count as white the purple cunts, then it’s over a billion. If only the pink cunts — under one billion.

T says:

I like to think of MENA, Iran, and India as Caucasian but not white – “white” is only the European sub-category of Caucasian. Nicholas Wade’s “A Troublesome Inheritance” makes such an argument, I believe.

A2 says:

That’s basically it. Of course, if we count Europe + USA as a core of sorts we get merely 800 million or so, of which a lot are not white these days. So the actual number could be substantially less than a billion.

The Cominator says:

Not all whites are equal. Top tier whites are not the pure nordics (naturally way way too prone to be subservient to women even since ancient times) but the nordic hybrids. I actually do think Persians are mostly okay intellectually (not top tier) but for falling under Islam.

#1 white group: The Normans, ie Nordic Frankish/Saxon hybrids.
#2 white group: The Prussians, hybrid of Nordics/Slavs with a little bit of alpine mixed in
#3 white group: The northern meds/italians

A2 says:

If we add Russia (175m), we get close to a billion. That includes a number of non-white asians, but close enough. AUS/NZ and dwindling SA also contribute 30m or so.

Other evidence: Daily Stormer’s population countdown claims 11.5% whites globally. That would make it about 860m whites, assuming 7.5bn of us in total.

Varna says:

Covid was the test. When it hit, how did all the “alternative civilizational centers” across the Northern Hemisphere react? They accepted the rules of the demon faith immediately. In different ways, through different variations of vaccines, lockdowns, and mandates, but they all accepted the basic premise. Russia, China, Poland, Hungary, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Japan, they all snapped to it.

The only ones who rejected the premise of mandates for everyone were the red states in the US, Sweden for a while, and passive resistance in much of the former ottoman territories in south-east europe, where people sullenly hunkered down to wait out the storm, instead of getting mega-boosted. Likely inherited behavior of surviving sudden crap tsunamis during the centuries within the house of osman.

That’s it. Red states got the jab, but freely (cough, immigration but legal), the various Moldovans, Bulgarians, and Romanians waited the crap out, Sweden almost went the libertarian route but didn’t, everyone else accepted the basic premise. And the “alternative civilization centers” not only accepted it, but raced to prove to themselves and the world how they can outdo the West in fighting the mighty and awesome demon.

In this sense, yes, the alternative centers aren’t so much about an alternative to the bullshit, but rather alternative ways of recreating it.

One can speculate why the EE states that used to be rules by Vienna and Moscow rushed to jab, while the ones that used to be ruled from Istanbul did hobbit resistance.

If one could somehow combine the legislative approach of the red states to the mandates, with the sullen skepticism of the Balkan europoor, then you get a sort of second-tier alternative. But that’s not how you conquer the stars. That’s how you, at best, maintain a Byzantium while everyone else regresses, and hopefully someone else, in a thousand years, standing on what you’ve conserved, conquers the stars.

The red state approach and the Balkan approach were both the best one could get in the time of madness, but this is not enough. It’s brilliant that it happened, but it’s not enough.

Covid was a world wide power grab by the globalist health establishment. The attack vector was international health institutions in every state everywhere.

In the lead up to Henry the Eighth’s dissolution of the monasteries, he launched a big investigation of the monasteries that revealed no end of dirt. No state anywhere has had an investigation of the crimes of the Covid period. It is odd. If some faction launches a power grab, and fails, I would expect them to die, because this should piss of other powerful people. I find this very hard to understand. They deserve death, and I would expect the normal dynamics of politics would lead to their deaths whether they deserved it or not. Yet everyone averts their eyes.

Henry the eighth’s response to the monasteries holding a power struggle with him seems oddly civilised, and the response of every power group in politics to the Covid scam seems extraordinarily wimpy. If you are powerful, and someone is grabbing despotic power, he is grabbing your power. Kill him! If no man, then no problem. (After a holding a trial whose outcome you have ensured in advance, regardless of whether he is guilty of anything or not, and these guys are guilty.)

You will notice that everyone was getting ready for the CDC to issue the declaration that there was a huge pandemic about to happen, the were all getting ready for the “Go” signal, all getting ready for another Covid go, but the announcement failed to come on schedule. I think someone told them to not try it again. Probably JFK Junior. Or maybe they just discovered that their weaponized Bird Flu was not successfully weaponized.

In the last days of Julius Caesar, everyone, including Julius Caesar, including the assassins of Julius Caesar, acted as if the Republic still lived. The Republic is dead, and the Word Health Organisation is actually the World Illness Organisation. It is past time for politics to get rougher.

Julius Caesar hung out in the Senate as if that was where the power still was, without a bodyguard, as if law and legality was still in effect. His assassins killed him, and then went home, as if the Republic was still functioning, despite blood in The Forum.

It is the kids that have internalised the new order – the late teens early twenties young men. Everyone else is still in a waking dream. Including Russia and China. Putin thinks that only he plays rough.

Fidelis says:

I would chalk this up to stunning incompetence over normality bias. Several generations of democracy/state party managerialism has selected for the most dull of the midwits, the most pleasantly dull people make the least enemies and seem the least threatening. With actual combat hitting historically low levels, even the militaries of the world have become bughives of party bureaucrats in fancy uniforms. The Great Filter turns out not to be nukes, but the entire global population ossifying into post-civilizational bughives in shivering fear of real combat, let alone nukes. There’s no one around to take power, because after living in committee managerialism so long, no one knows what power looks like.

Returning to the main point, interestingly Musk has called for the Jesuit Jabber to be prosecuted, several times on his platform. Will it happen? If it doesn’t we know for sure how fucked we are.

Jim says:

The Jesuit jabber wanted Musk’s power. And is thus an obstacle on the road to Mars.

One reason the elite has remained so gentle with other members of the elite, is that the elite prefers to recruit people who are happy with a fancy title and the opportunity to steal boatloads of money. They only murder ordinary people, because ordinary people have actual objectives.

The Cominator says:

The Jesuit mission is literally they want EVERYONE’s power. A homosexual dark occult group of glowniggers for a non country. It needs to be a major priority to wipe them out. Tokugawa Ieyashu did nothing wrong but it needs to happen worldwide this time.

Karl says:

No state anywhere has had an investigation of the crimes of the Covid period. It is odd.

Every state where such crimes were committed had a government that was complicit. No member of a government wants an investigation of crimes he took part in.

Moreover, in the GAE the power grab of the globalist health establishment during covid doesn’t bother governments all that much because the members of Western governments don’t have much power that could be grabbed from them. My impression is that power in the West is widely dispersed; noone has much power.

You often argue that there is a small group that could meet on a small table that holds power in the GAE. If so, this group must also control the globalist health establishment and thus attempted to get a firmer grip on power. Otherwise the globalist health establishment tried to grab power from this small powerfull group. If there is no retalliation to such an attempted, the most simple explanation is that there no such small powerfull group that is in charge.

On the other hand, if the small powerful group also controls the globalist health establishment, who is there retaliate to the attempted to grab more power?

All in all, I don’t find it odd.

I was going to post exactly this but you already did so my only contribution is to state that I completely agree. Nothing odd about it, they’re all complicit.

Russia’s first two films of the year: trailers.

Based on the 1930s Soviet version of Wizard of Oz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJbYbHaUAW0 Appears to be a 1990s/2000s Disney adventure basically
(There’s are also Soviet versions of Pinocchio and Doolittle, maybe we’ll see them on screen before long too)

Folk fable-based fantasy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ma8dudXEEM Also appears to be a 1990s/2000s Disney adventure

Both are alleged to have opened well in the domestic box office. The second one’s budget is $8 million, the first one’s not easily available online, but should be similar. The pre-covid/pre-war wave of sci-fi and fantasy films was in the $4-6 million range, budget-wise.

T says:

Cybertruck driver Matthew Livelsberger “sustained a gunshot wound to the head prior to the detonation of the vehicle.”

Hmmmm.

Jim says:

If you are going to shoot yourself, your explosives need a fuse. If you have a fuse, you can run like hell, hope you do not get caught, and shoot yourself later if needed.

Also, the explosives were movie style pyrotechnics, intended as a threat or a warning, not intended to cause real damage. Who is going to kill himself for a warning?

If you are serious you fill the truck with anhydrous ammonium nitrate and diesel, add five hundred hundred grams of C4 and a detonator, fire the detonator, and you do not need to shoot yourself. There will not be enough left of you or the truck for anyone to trace the wreckage — they will have to look for ammonium nitrate purchases and disappearing trucks.

Hey, you already tried to kill Trump. Twice. He is unlikely to respond to warnings. And Pete Hegseth even less likely.

“The level of sophistication is not what we would expect from an individual with this type of military experience,”

No kidding.

Why is someone with military experience firing movie pyrotechnics? Is it likely that someone with military experience would kill himself to trigger a movie style truck explosion? The doors of the hotel remained fine, and his body was severely burned by gasoline flames, not blown apart.

If anyone had told him what was in the truck, he would have told them it was just going to be a movie type truck explosion and fire.

Pax Imperialis says:

Why did Mishima attempt a coup he knew would go nowhere with swords, leaflets, and a finality of seppuku? Sometimes to commit suicide die with a noble purpose in mind, need to put on a show.

For the sake of discussion, I don’t think this is entirely true. In a low resolution way, I’m white nationalist. Really a white supremecist. I acknowledge that founding a state on racial grounds is incoherent, and any attempt dissolves into a form of communism at best. The hearthfire faiths had the best way of managing this until they hit scaling problems, we should probably revive them in some fashion, but that’s a digression.

I am in no way an isolationist. I am not in favor of spilling blood for hives of bugocrats trying to creat some Rules Based Order, but I’m not an isolationist. Iraq should have been made imperial territory, Afghanistan should have been made imperial territory. The white warriors who won the wars before getting cut up by incompetent managers should be in charge of those hellholes. The problem of neverending jihadis should be solved like the problem of neverending saracens of North Africa was solved: replace their nests with white Christians.

The vast majority of the world is a rat pit of aggressively stupid, filthy, unproductive, violent, low culture biomass. Should be recolonized. Functioned far far far better before the race communists, before the leftists started their kill whitey worldwide campaigns.

Once we win — likely during the process, as the sahel needs contesting, and South America needs realigning, and you’re not doing that without people like Prince in charge — we’re going back to the pre-world wars status quo.

Pax Imperialis says:

The quality of a people is determined by the quality of previous breeding. Breeding is ultimately a question of culture, itself a question of power, itself guided by a faith. “Whites” only exists because of Christianity. Build a nation on the basis of the right faith, will get the right corresponding people. Build a regime based on the wrong faith and it won’t matter if the entire original stock is “pure 100% Bavarian Phenotype”, in a few generations you’ll be dealing with dindu whiggers as you sink into bioleninism.

I keep hounding on this point again and again. It is easy to get the biological results you want, you just can’t be directly aiming at the biological result. Must be aiming much higher upstream. Material is incoherent while Spirit is very coherent.

> Iraq should have been made imperial territory, Afghanistan should have been made imperial territory.

No, absolutely no. Imperial territories have a horrible track record of creating back-flow of peoples and economic dependency due to an ever expanding civilian bureaucracy being in charge of governing. What you want is something more akin to a trade company colony. Gene flow is much more outward, and the trade company (usually) keeps the enterprise profitable… which reminds me. In response to my suggestion of setting up a trade company on Haiti you said:

I’m frankly not comfortable putting anything of value on that cursed island while the Haitians are still there, however well contained.

That’s not a terribly different position from what I proposed, and I almost feel like gloating.

Observe how the remaining British are turning into wiggers.

This partly culture, a culture of despair where people have no hope for the future, but it is substantially biological. Most of the better people have fled Britain, because economic collapse means that their are no jobs except as moron minions of a vast bureaucracy, because of intolerable levels of government and private violence of crime, because of a healthcare system that daily becomes more primitive, backward, filthy, dangerous, and murderous.

The remaining britons are mostly the demonspawn offspring of single mothers.

Ultimately faith and biology are inextricably tied, a reflection of how body and mind are inextricably tied. Are you depressed because you’re sick, or sick because you’re depressed? Yes.

You aren’t going to turn Igbo into Anglo anytime soon, even if you stick a priest in there telling them not to marry their cousin. It’s just biology. We can wax on all day about breeding programs and promotion of traits, but this would take many many many generations even under absurd conditions of selection.

Look at africans in America, the whitest africans around, biologically, and they’re inextricably drawn to Charismatics and Holy Spirit style Big Man Preacherism. It’s how they are, it’s how they relate to each other and the world. You aren’t changing that anytime soon.

Yes, we need to crown Charlemagne when he arrives, and stop the biological and spiritual decay. I never said or suggested otherwise. I’m suggesting that when we win, isolation is more cruel than the alternative. The flute goes to the best fluteplayer, and power goes to the best able to wield it to good ends.

>Middle East Company vs Imperial Protectorate
It should go without saying that we should have all bureaucrats pushed into a system of tedious physical labor, to such a thorough degree that people forget the original meaning and only think of ditch diggers. Whatever the governing system imposed, whatever you want to call it, it should be decided entirely by the men who risked their blood for it.

>Haiti
That place is particularly cursed and the idea of putting tens to hundreds of thousands of smart engineers there just for the sake of industry that could be done elsewhere made my stomach turn. It wasn’t a bad idea except for particulars on execution. And timing. I think the original frame was reindustrialization, and it made me picture carrying this out in the middle of our Thermidor event. Precarious.

Indeed we should be dotting the world with independent SEZ experiments, run and taxed by the warriors who risked their blood to win and defend it. I think the original Reconquista worked in a similar way. By all means gloat, we should do it once the house is clean.

Jim says:

> You aren’t going to turn Igbo into Anglo anytime soon

The reverse operation, turning British Anglos into Igbo is, however, well under way. It works much faster in that direction.

Whites were highly selected for cooperativeness. Which, of course, results in parasitism once the selective force of aristocracy, Church, and state is removed.

Modern capitalism, based on double entry book keeping, means we can have a highly cooperative society based on property rights. But reproduction under libertarian individualism is impossible. You need inherently asymmetric and unequal property rights in people. To give an obvious and uncontroversial example, the right of a child to care from its biological parents includes the right to be subjected a beating when appropriate. The right of a child to care is fundamentally different from the right of a father to authority over his children, and respect and obedience from those children.

And of course, we are just not going to successfully reproduce nor have families if female property rights in sex, family, and children are interchangeable and symmetric with male property rights. Libertarian individualism is a biological dead end that rapidly leads to extinction.

And the reasons for this are so completely obvious that no one dares speak of them. Every happy marriage, every stable family, is quietly eighteenth century, and no one dares notice.

The Cominator says:

Jim I’m surprised at you you know damn well we don’t have libertarian conditions or anything close, reproduction under libertarian conditions would be suboptimal but probably a LOT better than what we have now.

Libertarian conditions are not an all powerful state acting as the overprotective retarded boomer dad to spoiled harpy daughters.

Jim says:

> we don’t have libertarian conditions or anything close, reproduction under libertarian conditions would be suboptimal

What is the libertarian position on courtship, gays, marital “rape”, trans, domestic discipline, childcare, divorce, and all that? How does it differ from what we have now?

Neurotoxin says:

I’ll weigh in.

Comi, I think you’re mis-interpreting Jim here. Of course he knows what we currently have is a mega-intrusive state, not libertarianism. But it’s more necessary to kick libertarianism around, with the audience of this blog, because everyone here already knows the leftist state is fucking evil incarnate… but libertarianism is the intellectual ancestor of many of us here. I’m one of the former libertarians, pretty obviously not the only one.

An example of why kicking libertarianism around is occasionally necessary: Robert Heinlein. God bless him, there’s a ton of good stuff in Heinlein. But his portrayal of a space-borne future in which we have libertarian anarchism together with a high rate of reproduction is impossible. It’s too bad, but he was just honestly mistaken about that. I know because I used to be one of those people who was honestly mistaken right there with him. (Heinlein’s universe is a universe in which women can be sexually attracted to pro-social men. It hurts me to remember that I used to believe that was possible.)

Hesiod says:

Well said, Neuro. Guilty as charged meself for a libertardian youth ill-spent.

The Cominator says:

Most single women except for whores have no money under libertarian conditions so they sign marriage contracts much more favorable to guys. No huge leviatian state means that hitting on unowned women while being percieved as beta is no longer a crime. I’m not saying its optimal but it’d be way way better than what we have.

Jim says:

Women are remarkably uninfluenced by financial incentives.

That globohomo gives them fake economic status is a factor, but it is largely irrelevant to the core of the problem.

I asked what was the libertarian position on courtship, gays, marital “rape”, trans, domestic discipline, childcare, divorce, and all that?

To which you replied well they will not be artificially creating female employment.

I don’t think China is artificially creating female jobs to any huge extent, certainly not the extent the US is, and if anything, things are worse in China.

We do see in China, women responding to economic incentives sometimes, but they don’t want to, and it does not help much.

T says:

Exactly so. In the era of political correctness, one must not say that it is the role of women to cook, clean, and take care of the kids. Yet that is precisely what the wives of those hypocritical boomers (and genXers) who so readily exclaim “you can’t say that!” regularly do, or else their marriages are no marriages at all. The typical married older man will rage when you say “women belong in the kitchen” – before hinting at his wife to head back to the kitchen. Alas, owing to the meme-space of those generations, or more specifically to the Jew-occupied television and movie industry that so thoroughly brainwashed those generations, no such traditional (which is to say: normal) marriage is available to the younger generations. Nowadays the foids are proud of their uselessness; they boast of being absolutely un-feminine.

“GEE, WHY IS NOBODY REPRODUCING ANYMORE? OH IT MUST BE PORN ADDICTION! LET’S BAN PORN TO SOLVE THE FERTILITY CRISIS, LOL!”

Utterly despicable.

The Cominator says:

“To which you replied well they will not be artificially creating female employment.”
I think that is a bigger deal than you think it is but perhaps I’m wrong. Most of the legal framework of feminism (except marital rape) has existed since at least the 1920s but its impact was limited when women were still financially dependent on the men in their life (and yes I agree cultural propaganda stopped being pro feminist from the 1930s until roughly after JFK got shot).

Jim says:

How laws regulating sex are enforced bares very little relationship to what is written on paper when it changes. If enforcement remains stable for a long time, the laws as written gradually move into alignment, but what is written on paper lags by generations.

What did I say that makes you think I disagree with any of this? I never proposed libertarian rights anywhere, if anything I’m more statist than most on this blog. Looks to me like most really difficult high tech industry only gets spurred on by states that need to advance their weapons manufacturing. Looks to me like we need to return to some sort of feudalism to deal with the massive wigger problem that’s been created. These people cannot manage their lives, and letting them starve is cruel, and letting them live on crime and welfare is intolerable. So they’re being made some kind of serf, I don’t see another way. Not libertarian. My libertarianism is giving full property rights over land and servile populations to accomplished warriors and in very exceptional cases accomplished industrymen. The King gives out a special sort of charter right for these men to do as they see fit.

I think the Reconquista model is the best to work from. At the time, all the towns were repopulated by giving men rights to property in any woman they could abduct, so long as they agreed to pay taxes and defend the town. Well, lot of planet remains open to Reconquista, so I’m not an isolationist. I am in favor of real meritocracy, which in practice means Throne, Altar and Freehold, which in practice looks like white supremecy.

Alf says:

There will be a lot of mess to clean up though. Agreed that the demographics are looking absolutely atrocious.

T says:

Whenever I hear Pakistan, I get mad at the Jeets for making it a global problem.

Wiki:

The relationship between Pakistan and Israel continued to be ridden with hostilities following these direct engagements, and when Mossad was unable to stop Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program from making major developments, a plan to bomb Pakistani nuclear facilities in a similar fashion to Operation Opera was authorized. Israel subsequently made contact with India in an effort to gain support and secure a launching point for Israel’s aircraft. However, India refused to allow Israeli aircraft to station on its soil, whereas Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency had discovered the plan and prepared suicidal one-way retaliatory measures to bomb strategic sites in Israel.

The Jeets fucked up.

The idea of any Muslim country having nuclear weapons rubs me very much the wrong way. I’m not shilling here for Israel or the War Party or anything, but seriously, it’s a Muslim country with nukes. There is absolutely no scenario in which this is a positive thing.

Fuckin’ Jeets.

T says:

There is also little chance of doing any Color Revolution there. To eliminate the threat and pacify my triggered right-wing amygdalae, need hot war with Pakistan, which currently nobody is advocating and nobody is planning. But it’s probably a ticking time bomb, one way or another. Obviously the priority right now should be removing the demoniacs in America.

I generally don’t subscribe to the view that all religions are equal, just as the races are not equal, men and women are not equal, and perverts are not equal to the sexually healthy. Christianity is superior to Judaism, for example, and most religions — with the notable exception of Progressivism, which is Satanism itself — are superior to Islam, at least in their ability to foster both intra-group and inter-group cooperation. I just made an anti-Hindu post, but it should be made clear that, in any conflict between the two, I would much prefer seeing Pakistan defeated by India than vice versa. Hindus can be allies of civilization, even if they aren’t especially civilized themselves, and both Hinduism and Buddhism originated with Aryans. Mohammadanism, meanwhile, is a serious problem. But Progressivism a much more urgent problem.

Rod is wrong in being a 2010 Jihad Watch poaster, but in the long-term there will be violent wide-scale conflict with Islam, and Pakistani nukes are not unlikely to play a role in it.

T says:

Sometimes the best way to think about issues is like one is 5 years old. Is it a bad thing when powerful weapons are at the hands of hostile aggressive unstable people? Yes. Do Mohammedans tend to be hostile aggressive unstable people? Also yes. In that case, one should be worried. Islam and Peace of Westphalia are like oil and water, though there may be some exceptions, and even the exceptions are likely temporary.

But the normies only think about issues that the media, including much of “alternative” media, tells them to worry about. So all those politicians sexually blackmailed by Mossad talk about the Iranian nuclear program, and so the public is aware of the Iranian threat. What about Paki nukes? What about Pakistan’s missile program? The talking heads on television somehow never talk about that, but I consider Pakistan to be a YUGE elephant in the room that nobody is willing to talk about.

T says:

I know I’m sperging out, but the attitude of “it’s all under control, nothing to worry about, go back to sleep” is exactly how you miss Black Swan events. After the big BANG! people will no doubt say, “Of course having these nutjobs in possession of nukes was a terrible idea – duh.” But the point is to predict these things in advance, even if everyone is gaslighting you about the issue, tells you not to worry, pretends like it’s “not important.”

Well, it’s still more important to remove the demoniacs in power in America, needless to say. But all the while I’d keep an eye on the Pakis.

Neurotoxin says:

Jim:
“What is the libertarian position on courtship, gays, marital “rape”, domestic discipline, childcare, and divorce? How does it differ from what we have now?”

I’m pretty sure no one is saying libertarianism is sustainable – we all agree that it’s not, I think. (Cominator can clarify if he thinks it’s sustainable.) But it would be different from the de facto Orwellian Gyno-State that we have now. To say this is not to say that libertarianism in sexual and reproductive matters is possible or desirable. Obviously it’s neither. But as a question of pure taxonomy, it is a distinct thing from what we now have.

To answer (part of) your question: If libertarianism were actually implemented, there’d be no divorce rape of men. There’d be no government-subsidized daycare or public schools, which warp husband/wife relations in certain ways. There WOULD be the presumption of innocence for men accused of rape – even on a college campus! – and there would not be Gyno-State double standards. One such is that if a man and a woman each have a glass of wine, then they fuck(*), he is responsible for raping her, but not vice-versa. (I’m not sure if this is enshrined in law yet, but it is the policy of many colleges and universities about what happens at a frat party.) If equalism were taken seriously, that double standard wouldn’t exist. I’m not advocating libertarianism in any of these matters. But agreeing with Comie, while libertarianism would be bad, and is probably not consistent with even replacement-level fertility, it would be less bad than what we have. This might just be the difference between us going extinct in 40 years instead of 35 years. Which is why it’s fortunate that libertardery and Gyno-State aren’t the only two options, as the vast majority of human history demonstrates.

*”He fucks her” is more accurate, but “they fuck” is the way that an equalist is required to think about it.

Obviously, as a policy debate all of this is idle, since going extinct in X years versus X+5 years is not much of a choice. Which is one of the many reasons to reject libertarianism.

Jim says:

> If libertarianism were actually implemented, there’d be no divorce rape of men.

Libertarianism does not enforce woke unmarriage, because it does not enforce any version of marriage. It is out of scope. It is off the radar. Everyone is a sovereign individual. So, what about children? They are not sovereign individuals.

There is nothing bad about libertarianism on the issues that it deems in scope. But there is something horrendously bad on the issues it rules out of scope. Families are not composed of sovereign individuals. The wokists running Microsoft and the old Twitter need to go to prison. If you don’t imprison people like them, people like Musk and Pavel Durov will be imprisoned.

If you rule that everyone is a sovereign individual, you have abolished marriage just as much as if you enforce woke unmarriage.

Notice the total absence of children and marriage in Ayn Rand novels and libertarian economics literature. There is no concept of a household.

Reflect on Microsoft offering resources to employees who want to transition toddlers. Totally fine in Libertarianism. Out of scope, because children are out of scope. And because Libertarianism thinks it is out of scope, and Woke thinks it is in scope, Pavel Durov gets kidnapped by France when his plane touches down to refuel. I blame libertarianism for that. Hey, you ask, “why blame libertarianism? Libertarians opposed the kidnapping of Pavel Durov.” I blame libertarianism because they also oppose the execution of Satya Nadella. Woke has largely been enforced, freedom of speech suppressed, and private property rights violated, by means that Libertarianism deems out of scope. It is out of scope when the old Twitter censored, and it is out of scope when the games company says you don’t own the games you purchased from them to run on your own computer. It is out of scope when Microsoft spies on you on your own computer, and denies you full control of your computer, and it is out of scope when Microsoft transitions toddlers.

Libertarianism is just irrelevant to the crisis of our times. It is fine on property rights of tangible inanimate things, but the crisis of our era is property rights in in intangible things, and property rights in people.

So what about regulating conduct in public spaces? No problem, at least no problem if you want to privatise the roads. No public spaces. OK, suppose your equivalent of a public space is owned by Microsoft or the old Twitter?

OK, no problem again for libertarianism, because, like marriage and children, out of scope. Build Gab, build Telegram. Wait a moment. The Telegram guy, Pavel Durov, got kidnapped by France when his plane stopped down for refuelling, and it is clear that if Musk visited Europe he would be kidnapped also. The presupposition is that these public spaces will be left unmolested, just has your house would be left unmolested. Which would be great, but the trouble is that just as people care about children, they care about what happens in privately owned sort-of-public spaces.

If Satya Nadella does not go to jail, Musk will. You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you.

Neurotoxin says:

If you rule that everyone is a sovereign individual, you have abolished marriage just as much as if you enforce woke unmarriage.

Certainly. Sexual equalism won’t work for reasons that everyone here understands. But there is a difference between that and the Man-Hating Gyno-State. Analogy: You don’t want to be attacked by a bear or a lion; both will kill you. But that doesn’t mean that a bear and a lion are the same animal.

The Cominator says:

Nothing like pure libertarianism is sustainable because power abhors a vacuum. To have something approaching sustainable libertarianism what you need are a lot of decentralized power centers all afraid of crossing the others for fear the rest will unite against them ie like much of the middle ages especially the HRE prior to the wars of religion.

Also what would be close is a monarchy or dictatorship that is very very ruthless and vigilant about killing leftists and troublemakers but otherwise it practices ruling in a very libertarian way.

The Cominator says:

“Reflect on Microsoft offering resources to employees who want to transition toddlers.”
But without the demonic tranny clownworld prog state would any business enterprise want to transition toddlers. Idk maybe there would be some kind of bioresearch/pharma company that would want to perform horrific experiments on orphans and bastards (something I am more opposed to than you) but generally the answer is no. Libertarianism has enough real flaws that we do not need to invent fake ones.

Pax Imperialis says:

>That place is particularly cursed and the idea of putting tens to hundreds of thousands of smart engineers there just for the sake of industry that could be done elsewhere made my stomach turn.

I was thinking closer to a couple million, but I digress. The tough reality is that those poached smart engineers are not American, and won’t be American in the short to medium term. America has enough racial/ethnic fragmentation and cultural balkanization already, and it doesn’t need a further massive influx of smart people with questionable loyalties who could do some actual damage beyond just being low level street thugs. Therefore, how to ensure loyalty and control? Put them in a close but separate, controllable but high security requirement environment where they are dependent on you for food and keeping the Haitians at bay. You get your high tech manufacturing base quickly and ensure a fanatically loyal population similar to how the Ulster Scots have become so Cavalier in the face of the IRA potato that they have become more English than the English.

>Ultimately faith and biology are inextricably tied, a reflection of how body and mind are inextricably tied. Are you depressed because you’re sick, or sick because you’re depressed? Yes.

It’s pretty clear faith declines before biology declines, and that the two are only inextricably tied in the sense that one is upstream and the other is downstream and that faith leads the biology but the biology does not lead the faith.

>We can wax on all day about breeding programs and promotion of traits, but this would take many many many generations even under absurd conditions of selection.

There was no conscious nor concerted eugenic effort during the few hundred years of slavery in America, yet their descendants now have just over an entire standard deviation IQ above their African counterparts. This is despite a huge constant influx of poor genetic material from Africa until the import trade was limited by the 1808 ban. I have a few ideas for how a concerted effort could achieve some massive results in as little as 100 years. All, officially, without slavery of course.

>Look at africans in America, the whitest africans around, biologically, and they’re inextricably drawn to Charismatics and Holy Spirit style Big Man Preacherism.

I mean… yeah, what would you expect? Look at the Whites in the South and how they themselves are also inextricably drawn to Charismatics and Holy Spirit style Big Man Preacherism. Have you never been to a White Southern Baptist Church? It is mirrored by Black Southern Baptist Churches. This is the people of Huey Long and Trump. Where do you think American Blacks got that (genetic) trait from. Compare them to African Blacks who are still stuck in voodoo/shamanism/pagan fetishism. Likewise the problem with SBC, White or Black, is that they have been taken over by New England Progressivism.

Fidelis says:

Fine, but lets do this with the Honduran ZEDEs. Haiti has a demonic miasma from all the child sacrifice. I don’t necessarily agree that we need to separate them from the mainland, I think simply not pretending every warm body is a potential citizen and imposing restrictions in motion and such would prevent any problems of political interference. However stationing them in a dedicated colonial township isn’t bad, so long as it isn’t Haiti.

Still looks to me like a feedback loop between conditions of material reality and the faiths that are maintained. Africa is full of voodoo because of the physical reality of africa, because the jungle nourishes voodoo, and the people are caught in a system that rewards voodoo. You couldn’t get man from the jungle, needed the vast open challege of the Savanna, and the further refinement from lifestyles of wide open seas, rivers and steppe. So protoman left africa, maybe was never origined there to begin with, but certainly was not made man there. Then he came back and imposed the higher energy order on the place.

Christianity touched China and India, but never spread there until Europeans arrived. Yet it spread like wildfire among the pagans of Europe and overcame all the various faiths of North Africa and the Middle East into Persia. The physical and social conditions necessary for the seed to take hold only existed in these lands. Material reality makes for tight constraints on the movement and interpretation of faiths.

Whites before Christianity were already exceptional. They were just exceptionally quarrelsome on top of being exceptionally talented. This exceptionalism took a long, long time to breed in. Many hundreds, many thousands of genocides for highly cooperative group selection to take place. The selection you need to impose to get anywhere with africans this century is unspeakably harsh. The Spanish went for several centuries with such a scheme, and Latin America is what it is today because of it. They’re not Aztecs, but they’re also far from Spaniards. There’s no need to worry about it in any case. In any conditions besides integration demanded at gunpoint, people will self segregate anyway.

The point I’m trying to emphasize here, is that while faith and priesthood guides the development of a people — one of the smaller twitter accounts I like has it well put, “We are all extended genotypes of our ancestral prophets” — the capacity for understanding and following such direction, and the supra-human coordination required for this to take hold, has material constraints. The southern baptisits exemplify this point rather than diminish it; they only could exist because America existed, in Europe they were quite literally exterminated. It’s no coincidence that the people attracted to mystical big manism in the first place retained these traits when they migrated elsewhere.

Jim says:

Demon worship usually has to be removed by fire and steel. Lesser means do not suffice.

Pax Imperialis says:

>they only could exist because America existed, in Europe they were quite literally exterminated.

On the contrary. The belief in rule by committee could only exist because they were exiled to America where they latter built an ‘Empire of Liberty’. America then went on to conquer the world and destroy the monarchies. It has taken a massive effort to keep big manism suppressed, and you see the cracks all around with the rise of Populists like Orban, Trump, etc. SBC is big manism because (Scottish) just about all other European group besides Anglo is big manism.

Christianity touched China and India, but never spread there until Europeans arrived. Yet it spread like wildfire among the pagans of Europe and overcame all the various faiths of North Africa and the Middle East into Persia. The physical and social conditions necessary for the seed to take hold only existed in these lands. Material reality makes for tight constraints on the movement and interpretation of faiths.

Please remind me the story of St. Boniface and how the Christmas tree came to be. Someone had to, often with great force, pull out the weeds, plant the mustard seed, nurture and protect it, and collect new seeds before setting off to new lands. This a question of logistics and power projections rather than something inherent to a specific land.

>Whites before Christianity were already exceptional.

Some. Others were living in mud huts sacrificing children to the old gods. Tell me where are the Druids today? Gauls? Old Prussians? There are numerous White tribes that were extinguished by slightly more patriarchal Pagans, themselves later converted or extinguished by patriarchal Christianity. The entirety of Eastern Europe appears to have been a savage pagan backwater until the conversion of the Rus. Likewise in Northern Europe until the Northern Crusades.

>The selection you need to impose to get anywhere with africans this century is unspeakably harsh.

Wrong, and even if true so what? Black American fertility rates have cratered. Base on 2022 data they are only above replacement levels in 6 states. All signs point to the trend continuing downwards. One must additionally wonder how much of the rate is propped up by African immigrants who have much higher TFR than native born. If you could get the top 10% to have an average of 3 children and could extremely suppress the bottom 20%… well I haven’t exactly worked out the math but I suspect it wouldn’t take that many generations to have a sizeable impact. Just, you know… make sure the smart ones reproducing are Clarence types and not Obama types and you’ll be good to go.

Whoa, hold up. This defies common sense. That biology and ideologies co-evolve seems undeniable. How could one not affect the other?

1. Causation from ideology to biology: Plainly our society’s ideology is destroying our genes. Stupid criminals outbreed pro-social geniuses. The genes that were built up over how many millennia of beneficial selection are being shredded. God, the people who did this to us cannot be hated enough. Any torture that anyone can think of, they deserve.

2. Causation from biology to ideology: It’s obvious that some populations aren’t really suited to ideologies that require patience and self-control in the short run in order to reap benefits in the long run. Their hardware just can’t run that software. So they run other ideological software.

This topic, the co-evolution of ideas/culture and genes, is crucially important. Also from a purely intellectual standpoint, it’s fuckin’ fascinating. It really is too bad that our current educational institutions are such hotbeds of demonic falsehoods or this could be intensively studied.

Set-up: During the Cold War debates about socialism vs. capitalism, it was pointed out that socialism can’t work because it has no genuine freely-determined market prices that signal the scarcity of something relative to the demand for it. (Jim knows this, and T probably does too, given his use of the word “catallaxy” elsewhere in this thread.) One response from socialists was, “After the Revolution we’ll have socialism everywhere in the world except for one market enclave like Hong Kong that will have freely-determined prices. We’ll use those to figure out relative scarcities.” This would not work, but that’s not my point. My point is:

I wonder if there are some elements in the Deep State who, increasingly alarmed by the increasing insanity of leftist ideology, have chosen to keep this blog as an intellectual “Hong Kong.” Because it’s a forum where truth can be stated explicitly and discussed, it helps them by providing a contact point with actual reality. It would explain why it hasn’t been shut down yet. Yet it’s also consistent with the constant shills, since they could come from different factions.

Yeah, I realize this sounds kinda grandiose. And yet…

Neurotoxin says:

Come to think of it, it sounds less grandiose if one posits that they’re doing this with a bunch of “right-wing” blogs, not just this one.

Bix Nudelmann says:

It might have been right here, or someplace like here, where I read once that the CPC has a whole department that publishes a secret newspaper/magazine that’s the “real deal”, but only available to the right people. Maybe you can only read them in certain buildings, or something.

That must be what the FBI and CIA are supposed to do, but maybe they can’t anymore. Even crooks need the truth.

Karl Marx:

The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.

But the mistake of all leftists, including the Marxists, is that they attempt to change the world this way or that way without first properly interpreting it.

Upon realizing that, the more competent, O’Brian-like leftist would allow islands of thoughtcrime, because only those free of crimestop can properly interpret the world – thus allowing the leftist to better carry out his program, being in greater touch with reality than those whose minds have not been contaminated by Bad Thoughts.

But the Woke Left is not competent, and what held the internet unofficially libertarian prior to Thermidor taking the reins and making it officially so is primarily the individualist character of WASPs.

Adam says:

Somewhat similar to when a women reads red pill material or manosphere material. They don’t actually get it. It’s just more dialogue they use to better serve themselves, and deceive others.

Hesiod says:

Lawfare against Trump via the NY head of the snake apparently continues, according to a court date set for January 10th to carry out the sentencing. Judge Juan Merchan claims he is “unlikely” to hand down an incarceration, but rather an unconditional discharge. Despite how farcical this all is post-election, the serpentinians psychologically need to play out this ritual.

Pax Imperialis says:

I hope they convict with a prison sentence. It would be a real Andrew Jackson moment and only add to the Trump legend, and make it so much easier going forward for normies to ignore the leftist courts.

I believe it’s time to quote some of the most BASED chapters in the Bible, for everyone’s edification and inspiration.

Judges 19-21:

The Levite and his Concubine

1And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehemjudah. 2And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him unto her father’s house to Bethlehemjudah, and was there four whole months. 3And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father’s house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him. 4And his father in law, the damsel’s father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there. 5And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel’s father said unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way. 6And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel’s father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry. 7And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again. 8And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart: and the damsel’s father said, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them. 9And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel’s father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.

10But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, his concubine also was with him. 11And when they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it. 12And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside hither into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah. 13And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah. 14And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin. 15And they turned aside thither, to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging.

16And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites. 17And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou? 18And he said unto him, We are passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I: and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that receiveth me to house. 19Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man which is with thy servants: there is no want of any thing. 20And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street. 21So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.

Gibeah’s Crime

22Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him. 23And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly. 24Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. 25But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go. 26Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light.

27And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold. 28And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place. 29And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel. 30And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds.

The Decree of the Assembly

1Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh. 2And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword. 3(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness? 4And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge. 5And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead. 6And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel. 7Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.

8And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house. 9But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it; 10And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel. 11So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.

12And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you? 13Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel: 14But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel. 15And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men. 16Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.

17And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.

Civil War against Benjamin

18And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.

19And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah. 20And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah. 21And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men. 22And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day. 23(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)

Defeat of the Benjamites

24And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day. 25And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword. 26Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD. 27And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, 28And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand.

29And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah. 30And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times. 31And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel. 32And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways. 33And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah. 34And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them. 35And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.

36So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah. 37And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword. 38Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city. 39And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle. 40But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven. 41And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them. 42Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them. 43Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising. 44And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour. 45And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them. 46So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour. 47But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months. 48And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.

Mourning the Tribe of Benjamin

1Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife. 2And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore; 3And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel? 4And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.

5And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death. 6And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day. 7How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?

Provision for Benjamin’s Survival

8And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly. 9For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there. 10And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children. 11And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man. 12And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

13And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them. 14And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not. 15And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.

16Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin? 17And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel. 18Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.

19Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah. 20Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards; 21And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin. 22And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty. 23And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them. 24And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.

25In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

More relevant in 2025 than ever before. (And in 2026, it will be considerably more relevant.)

Hail Hegseth.

Was reading Chesterton, gotta practice what I preach, and suddenly it’s like –

But clearly it is quite true that whenever we go to hear a prophet or teacher we may or may not expect wit, we may or may not expect eloquence, but we do expect what we do not expect. We may not expect the true, we may not even expect the wise, but we do expect the unexpected. If we do not expect the unexpected, why do we go there at all? If we expect the expected, why do we not sit at home and expect it by ourselves?

Really makes you think (about a certain blog and its phraseology).
