The USG immigration problem

The problem is that people we are allowing in have too much power over us. Also, most of them are stupid people, and when their children go to school, the Cathedral teaches them to hate us and attack us. When nonwhites have the majority, whites will be a market dominant minority, like Jews or overseas Chinese. In nonwhite countries, market dominant minorities seldom exist, because they get exterminated or expelled. …

Working class consciousness

Working Class consciousness (in other words envy and covetousness) runs into economics: “The Chamley-Judd Redistribution Impossibility Theorem” which tells us that redistribution from capitalists to workers is impossible, and trying to do so merely buggers the economy making everyone worse off. This conflict between reality and ideology brings you nazism and communism. The Chamley-Judd Redistribution Impossibility theorem is economists admitting Ayn Rand was right while trying to sound as if …

Entryist attack

Some time ago there were some thoughtful critiques of the Dark Enlightenment, Reaction, and Neoreaction, worthy of thoughtful and lengthy response. More recently, there was a lot of childish name calling.  Racist And, predictably, the next step would be entryism. Patri Friedman, fresh from screwing over Libertarianism and anarcho capitalism, promises us a more politically correct Dark Enlightenment. I think I need to recap some of the more offensive hate …

Cthulhu swims only left

The Orthosphere and Zippy Catholic seem curiously optimistic about the future of the Roman Catholic Church. Seems to me that anyone who is genuinely Roman Catholic should be making spiritual and organizational preparations for excommunication. Here are some entertaining bits from the Pope’s interview with La Republica, which came to my attention when it was parodied as “The Third Vatican Council”.  I at first mistook the parody for the real …

Demotism and lies

North Korea is demotic.  The US is demotic.  North Korea murders large numbers of people.  The US does not.  Scott Alexander argues, therefore, that the word demotic is not meaningful, in that it lumps unlike things together. The North Korean regime is based on lies, since it claims its right to rule comes from the will of the people.  Therefore, the North Korean regime needs an elaborate apparatus of thought …

A creationist, an evolutionist, and a Darwinist were walking in the woods

They saw a patch of flowers. “Why are these flowers beautiful?” asked the creationist rhetorically. “OK” said the evolutionist, “Why?” “For the joy of God and man,” said the creationist. “No” said the evolutionist, “Beauty is subjective, in the observer, not in the flower, and nothing in nature has any purpose.  It just is.” “No,” said the Darwinist.  “These flowers must be pollinated by a creature that drinks nectar by …

Leftism as cancer

Leftism is to memes as cancer is genes. If the cells of the body mutate, cells that multiply at the expense of the body will be selected.  And cells that mutate to a faster mutation rate will be selected, since they will have more fast multiplying variants. In a healthy body, each cell lives for the body, and performs its role in the whole body, making the body one. In …

The overclass hates you.

People notice the overclass (brahman, in Moldbug’s terminology) hates whites.  So they figure. Well, people who think of themselves as white cannot possibly hate whites, so it must be Jews, who don’t consider themselves white, hating us. Wrong. The overclass hates whites because it is almost entirely white. It hates Jews because it is disproportionately Jewish. It hates males, marriage, and so on and so forth for much the same …

The Jewish Conspiracy

A lot of people believe that the Jews act as one, that they secretively and conspiratorially pursue Jewish interests at other people’s expense. The coordination problem is hard.  No one successfully acts as one.  Two Jews, three factions. That is why neoreactionaries propose terrible solutions to the coordination problem, on the grounds that other, more sophisticated, solutions are even worse.  The Cathedral acts more or less as one – one …
