Make women property again

Women are different. Very different. This is not a game post. This post is about the application of Game and Evolutionary Game Theory to religion and political organization. If you look at the landscapes we create everywhere, it is apparent that we long for our ancestral savannah, the lightly treed environment we entered when we came down from the trees and stood off the lions. And women long for their …

Free Software Foundation pushes back

I am a fan of the Gnu development environment, ./configure && make && make install, and a subscriber to the Free Software Foundation. And for a long time my emails from the Free Software Foundation have had only the most superficial connection to free software, and are primarily about the fact that everyone like me is evil and need to go because we oppress women and nams. Also my hatefulness …

Where we go from here

Electoral politics is dead, though its corpse will continue to be paraded about for a considerable time. It will not be revived for a very long time, for a live Republic requires a virtuous elite, and creating a virtuous elite is a project that requires a virtuous King, and a few generations. I hoped and prayed that Trump would retain power – either as president, or as leader of the …

Normality bias

In the year fifty eight years before Christ in Rome it became obvious that elections were rigged. Courts and due process had ended in the sense that some political violence went unpunished, and attempting to defend oneself against political violence was the gravest of crimes, in the sense that political disagreement was a crime, as Roger Stone and Sheriff Joe recently discovered, while political violence was not, as those who …

The fall of the Republic

Today in America it is the year in Rome fifty eight years before Christ. We are here. The mob is on the streets, which the courts decline to put down, courts and legal processes of the Republic politicized and defunct, carrying out political vengeance and refusing to enforce law, elections blatantly fraudulent and discredited. Caesar crossing the Rubicon was the culmination of more Rubicons than you can shake a stick …

As I predicted, Trump wins, Democrats steal

Trump has correctly announced he has won, and the Democrats are stealing it. Currently on you tube. Make a copy, because likely to disappear. Trump: “We won’t stand for it” “We Did Win This Election,” “This Is A Major Fraud On Our Nation” Trump’s victory was well beyond the margin of fraud, but as I have stated many times, there is no margin of fraud. There is, however, a margin …

The Trump landslide

Tonight, the map will be red. Which the press, to the extent they cover it at all, will denounce as “The red mirage”. Much as Biden’s laptop was Russian disinfo. What happens then? The Democrats have long known there would be a Trump landslide. Their plan was to stall for time, and then run a coup, denouncing Trump’s efforts to prevent them from endlessly manufacturing ballots of unknown provenance and …

The final election

Democracy, and any system where transfers of power are peaceful, such as a Republic, require that the elite play by the rules, for limited stakes, thus require a virtuous elite. We no longer have the necessary conditions for democracy or a Republic, and restoring them would require recreating a virtuous elite, a project that takes generations. As Front Page Magazine observes: If they win, Antifa and BLM will be used …

Yes, but ideas usually do rule

This is a reply to “Ideas never rule“. Ideas never rule, in that it is always a human backside on the throne. Ideas always rule, because no man rules alone, so he has to maintain cooperation over a group of men considerably larger than close kin can supply. Men rule, but how do they rule? Through guns, ideas, and fashion. Ideas are more powerful than guns, and fashion more powerful …

State of the left singularity

Preamble, to get those not yet darkly enlightened up to speed Leftism is entropy in the apparatus of state. Leftists ally with far against near, in the struggle within the state. The driving force of leftism is a holiness spiral. The state is a synthetic tribe, so the state always has, furtively or openly, a state religion, so leftists struggle for power by endlessly adding new, ever holier, stuff to …
