Today’s state is the left, and the left is the state, as is apparent when one traces the funding of Occupy astroturf to itself. Recapping Moldbug on the history of the left: If we trace back the American left through the years, decades and centuries, we find the roots of today’s distinctly anti Christian and …

The first rise and fall of the Left.
Before the English Civil war, the state was Throne and Altar, what we would now call the right. The state maintained slavery, enforced official religion, and everyone was required to pretend to believe in the divine right of Kings, much as today everyone is with equal plausibility required to pretend to believe that women are …
The last pope
Pope Benedict XVI was the last Roman Catholic Pope. It is unlikely that there will be any more. There will be people called popes, but they will be megaphones for progressivism, not Roman Catholicism. Progressivism is an entryist movement, the last major entryist movement standing, having fully assimilated the remaining communist movements. The progressive believes …
Keynsianism manufactures its own truth
Nigel asks: A problem is over-reliance on foreign work to produce goods. The jobs that are left here are service jobs and managerial jobs. … Did we get this way by free trade or by government intervention? In “Death of the Doctorâ€, the virtue of a character is proved by that character having traveled around …

The cause of social decay
Prosperity is not the problem. Many great nations have declined before we did, showing much the same symptoms as we are showing, and none of them were as prosperous as eighteenth century America. I suggest the root of civilization is patriarchy. Firstly, patriarchy with monogamy gives men posterity, and civilization is what men build for …
The decline of sperm production
Today’s average male has sperm production and sperm motility considerably lower than when these were first recorded, the data least subject to systematic error being sperm counts from couples tested for infertility where the infertility was subsequently determined to be due to the female. It has been in decline over the last seventy years. Testosterone …
I predict no riots in Seminole County
The press have been calling on blacks to riot in the event of a Zimmerman acquittal Assorted black leaders have been calling on blacks to riot in the event of a Zimmerman acquittal. We have a full Zimmerman acquittal, somewhat to my surprise, since I expected an all female jury to do whatever the judge …
Radish explains what racism means
This is an old post of Radish’s, but it took a while to sink in, so now I summarize it. Radish is replacing Moldbug, with lengthy, slow essays, that marshal all the facts without clearly pushing the conclusion, leaving a mental time bomb to slowly detonate as the implications slowly dawn. Racism, racist, etc are …
