The poverty of the billionaire ruling elite.

Musk is immensely rich because he creates capital.

Nancy Pelosi, and the entire FIRE economy, are immensely wealthy because they help themselves to capital that other people create.

We have a criminal and stupid ruling elite.

And no matter how much money such people have, they remain poor. Their yachts sit in the marina. They own nice mansions that were built by people of wealth and taste, but lacking taste, do not live in those mansions, They own them as status symbols, and live in trash places. They own them because other people judged them magnificent, not because they can tell the difference. When they buy a yacht, it is not to sail it to beautiful and interesting places, but to have a higher mast sitting in the marina than the mast of the other billionaire’s yacht that is sitting in the marina.

Nancy Pelosi’s beard called in a forty year old male whore, who beat him up.

And so we got to see photos of where Nancy Pelosi’s beard lives and where the whore lives.

The whore lives in trailer that is as filthy, ugly, and garbage strewn as you would imagine. I know nice people who live in nice trailers. Trailers near other nice trailers. One look at this whore’s trailer, you know he is drug addled whore who is likely to attack you and rob you.

The beard lives on billionaires row, in a “mansion”. Which is to say a house considerably bigger than any of my houses, and doubtless worth thousands or tens of thousands as much, also considerably uglier, with an entrance way far inferior to any of my houses, a garden far inferior to the gardens of any of my houses, a view far inferior to the view from any of my houses, in a crime infested neighborhood (“Billionaire’s row”) where if you leave something in your car and the car unlocked, it is going to walk, unlike any of the neighborhoods of any of my houses.

One of my houses is surrounded by a horde of McMansions. There are a lot of things I do not like about those McMansions. But each and every one of them looks nicer and has a nicer entrance way than the beard’s mansion. The beard’s mansion is to nice mansions, as the whore’s trailer is to nice trailers.

These are trashy people, everything around them turns to trash. They turn everything they touch into trash, whether a mansion or a trailer. Nancy Pelosi, her beard, and the beard’s whore are all alike.

Nancy Pelosi, her beard, and her beard’s whore all all the same quality of person. They are all trash, and in a civilized society they would be confined to a ghetto for human trash, a ghetto serving the same function as the town dump for household trash, so that civilized people can pretend that trash does not exist, and do not suffer the crime that follows human trash around like flies and cockroaches.

You wonder why modern buildings are ugly? Ugliness and physical degradation follows corruption and sexual deviation. It is like evil in the old fantasy games. You can tell the bad guys just by looking at them and their surroundings.

A living creature maintains its own order by increasing the entropy of other systems. The lion eats the deer and turns it into poop. A healthy society has to continually fight social entropy, which means it has to continually dump social entropy outside of itself. And that is what ghettos are for. They serve the same function as a sewer. A palace without a sewer will soon start to stink. The ugliness of the modern world is due to a lack of sewers for human sewage. It all started when the Victorians allowed Florence Nightingale and her ilk back into polite society. A palace needs a sewer, and civilization needs ghettos. And it needs to keep human sewage from escaping those ghettos.

    Jim,

    The official story of Flo N is saving the lives of injured soldiers in the Crimean War via better hygiene. Not a bad thing.

    What is the real story?

    • Kunning Druegger says:

      Once upon a time, a bunch of dirty, smelly men were suffering grievously from their stupidity and lack of good sense. Then a woman came along, a woman who was absolutely pure and good and smart thank you very much, then fixed everything, as women always do. The End.

    This was exactly Nietzsche’s idea. A healthy body creates a lot of poop, a healthy society a lot of ghettos.

    Jim how long do you think crypto will be in the dumps after this btx shit?

    • The Cominator says:

      Er ftx…

    • jim says:

      BTX? Do you mean FTX?

      The underlying mechanism causing the dumps is the collapse in trust and trustworthiness. But crypto is affected by loss of trust less than stocks and shares. Because inflation, and the self destruction of the Swift system, crypto currency is likely to rise.

      Because of the inherently untrustworthy nature of centralized exchanges, we move to decentralized exchange. The collapse of FTX is part of this move, which I expect to render crypto currency stronger in the end. But a lot of big crypto money is wisely fleeing the centralized exchanges.

      Buy when there is blood in the streets. Probably a good time to buy, if the FTX collapse does not swiftly detonate a chain of connected collapses. Give it a short while for the dust to settle, then buy on a distributed exchange.

      The fundamentals favor crypto currency. Why then did it fall? Seemed strange. After FTX, less strange.

        Now fairly, “everyone” might be felt by some of the non-Jews as a bit too inclusive, at least by the one’s who weren’t apologist wannabe’s.

        What quotes in Jewish scripture are basis for excessive usury, fraud, theft, bribery, corruption, playing with others money as if it was yours to fuck with?

        Either way, this nigger probably earned mad respect from a lot of people for stating the simple fact, that a Jew (SBF) did FTX.

        Would you look at that, parties involved with the world economic forum contribute to a collapse now calling for big government regulation. Like clockwork for these people

    Holy fucking shit.

    “Corporations, specifically but not exclusively under the direction of Rockefeller, as testified by Aaron Russo before he unexpectedly died of fast-acting cancer, intentionally and deliberately set out to and did indeed steal the childbearing women from their men. They don’t call it the corporate harem for no reason.

    There is literally no way to deny this on factual grounds.

    When you start looking into why the world is a living hell, you find that one or both of two groups are responsible for everything: Jews or capitalists.

    No one else matters.

            You have been doing better on the Soros test than CR ever could – though you still have not specifically identified any of Soros’s hostile acts. And lately some CR themes have been showing up in your stuff.

            You have been saying (and I have been deleting) that the Jews did 9/11

            In what sense did the Jews do 9/11? Emitted mind control rays at Muslim terrorists to make them do it and told the FBI to look the other way?

            Or did they use mind control rays to create the illusion of commercial airliner sized and shaped planes going into the towers and the pentagon, and also mind control rays so that no one in the towers and the pentagon would notice hundreds of tons of magic thermite being planted, and then the dancing Israelis triggered the magic thermite?

            And, if we are going to discuss this, take the Mueller test. Mention Mueller’s crimes in the Trump and General Flynn events, and/or his crimes that caused 9/11 to happen. If you tell me how the Jews did 9/11, and it makes no sense and you do not mention Mueller, going to censor it again. But if it makes sense or you can notice Mueller’s activities, happy to debate it.

            If on the other hand, makes no sense and neglects to mention Mueller, seen it all before, discussed it all before, not going to discuss it again.

    Erdogan: “Putin offered to send grain to Somalia, Sudan, Djibouti for free. I supported the proposal.”

    All these are countries with Turkish and US/NATO military bases. That is, Erdogan feeds his sphere of influence at the expense of the Russian Federation. A real sphere of influence, not the EAEU and the CSTO. The Russian Federation arranges a gas hub in Turkey, where the Turks will heat up billions of dollars annually.

    RF feeds Turkish satellites for Russian money. The Russian Federation gives Turkey air defense and its technology to protect against its own Iskanders. Russia is boosting the Turkish economy.

    And what did Moscow get from Ankara?

    • jim says:

      Turkey is playing both ends against the middle. Is Putin falling into Erdogan’s trap, or Nato falling into Erdogan and Putin’s trap?

      Putin is zigging left (global warming and the jab) and zagging right (divine right monarchy and Christian holy war). Putin hopes to split the diverse strands of leftism within the Global American Empire. I predict internal war within the Cathedral coming soon, perhaps he predicts the same.

      Recall that the protestant reformation won because the Holy Roman Emperor found himself at war with the Pope. Putin is hoping something similar will turn up, and very likely it will. Perhaps it will not be us that sacks Harvard and levels it to the ground, but Washington or New York, or even San Francisco. With the end of democracy, the left now has no means of peacefully resolving its internal conflicts.

    MOSCOW, November 1. /tass/. Russian President Putin instructed the government, together with the Foreign Ministry, the Interior Ministry and the FSB, to prepare proposals for the establishment of a visa-free regime for foreign citizens without observing the principle of reciprocity, the Kremlin website reported on Tuesday.

    “To prepare and submit proposals for the establishment (without taking into account the principle of reciprocity) of a visa-free regime for foreign citizens to travel to the Russian Federation for tourist, business, educational purposes, as well as to participate in sports and cultural events,” the list of instructions says following the meeting of the Presidium of the State Council.

    In addition, the Head of state instructed to think about increasing the validity period of a multiple-entry tourist visa.

    The Cabinet of Ministers, together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB, should also present ideas on simplifying the requirements for tourism activities related to the use of Russian tourist vessels, including the non-application of the rules of the border regime.

            In my country the faggot lovers have been historically aligned with Russia, as in the Soviet Union, so they actually are somewhat against Ukraine. While the cuckservative Christian faction is all in on dying for gay anal rights just like the Poles. It’s all nonsense.

            I guess this is what happens when people grow up in this society, abused by an indoctrination system designed to make you a pliable faggot with a mush for brain since the age of 3-4. Those that do not posses naturally higher IQ and disagreeableness become stupid zombies without any perspective, unless the parents actively prevent it.

            Men should be working since they are like 12 or even as soon as 8, as apprentices to someone who knows their trade and produces something of actual value in society and interacts with reality and real problems and solves them, to learn from them. Instead they are children that do nothing but loaf around all day until they are like 24 and up to 30. That 30yo should have had the experience of 16 years interacting in the real world and living a real life, but he didn’t. Then many of them proceed to continue their childhood being soft-slaves to the government through their front economic units called “corporations”.

            These people are not mentally prepared to face reality when you think about. Perspective, problem solving, thinking on their own, they have never had any need for any of these and they haven’t developed these skills. They only know how to toe the line, the only thing they’ve done their entire lives.

            Even someone like Elon Musk comes from a different and disparate background where he had to fend for himself from early on. This is literally the number one requirement for a functional adult being, and too many people simply don’t have that. I’ve met men who have never been in a fistfight in their entire lives, can you imagine that shit? Big no-no.

              It’s not that these people are soft slaves to the government for many of them end up running the government. It’s that the government is run by neurologically neutered elites and everyone bellow ends up suffering.

          Stop being a bunch of wimps.

          If Paul Pelosi can be reached in his home by a gay prostitute with a hammer, then every single FBI agent and ZOGbot can be reached in their homes by anyone.

          The only pathway for the jew ruling class to mass murder is to start a nuclear war with Russia. Their ZOGbot mercenaries proved to be too flimsy (thanks actual Taliban). Their nigger bioweapon has ran into the food supply chain disruption problem, so it’s too slow and insufficient to achieve White genocide (and one of the negro talented tenth is now openly naming them).

          And so for the jews, who are both simultaneously cowardly and yet unable to see past 15 seconds of consequences for their evil actions, nuclear war with Tsar Amelek shalt be done, in the name of the Talmud.

            You are deluded if you honestly think the FBI, ATF, CBP, ICE, USMS and others are totally toothless. They aren’t unbeatable, but until there is a large and publicized tactical defeat on the home soil, their legend alone will keep them relevant. Some talk is cheap, some talk… less so. As it stands right now, the fed forces are the unchallenged stationary bandit. The only mobile bandits with any real clout are the cartel, negro gangs, and antifa. I don’t think you can name a single entity that isn’t Fed or pet minority that has “mobile bandit” status, and if you can, don’t. Any nationalist, christian, or Christian Nationalist group on the radar is most likely COINtel pro skullduggery.

            Before you waste anyone’s time with ad hominem or empty insults, I’m not crowing about this, I’m just stating the tactical situation as I see it. We will enter a new phase when rural Sheriffs start explicitly telling the Feds they have no jurisdiction. If RF puts paid to a Coalition Force in UKR, the situation may change as well. As of now, “they lost in Kabul!” is not yet an effective argument for native coordination.

There are more than a few isolated instances of staunch resistance to fed boots on subject’s neck, and they do terrify the badged manager, but they are unknown to all but a very few who pay attention. And I’ve noticed that the exact types that should be paying attention, should be aware of the systemic weakness, the pozzed nature, and the incapacity of the Feds (military and police veterans) are almost always ignorant of it.

                  There is an ancient solution to the shill/entryist/fed problem: Require an affirmation of faith.

                  There is no affirmation of faith that can keep out every possible enemy faith, but there is always an affirmation of faith that can keep out entryists of the current enemy faith that is plotting your destruction.

                  I’ve been thinking that faith based security companies might be a useful thing. Get a church together, form a basic faith based security group with a faith based affirmation and do security related things along with training for the future. When central authority declines it’s going to be bandit gangs and security groups duking it out, might as well get ahead of the game.

              Timmy’s attack was a very much a action -> reaction sort of event. It worked for that reason.

              Let me give you an example. We’ve got tons of leftist DAs who are murdering good people by letting feral criminal go unpunished. A random person playing mincrafting with the DA would result in a massive increase in security protecting said DAs and a retribution campaign against anyone who dared to criticize them to discourage further attacks. Nothing good would come of it.

              But if an aggrieved family member of a victim did the same, that would result in DAs being a lot more likely to lock criminals up. The proper moral context is necessary for violent action to be useful.

                I posted about this a while back, and I really want to do a “white paper” on the topic but I just can’t figure how to word it safely without losing all meaning, or where to post it.

                Far more security than people realize is theater. This comes to light during any mass violent event when the first people to run away are the ones who are supposed to provide protection. Further still, LEO works under a single principle: they have the numbers. If someone gets violent, they get mobbed 5 or 10 to 1. This is why the radio is the most dangerous and effective weapon the officer has. This works because the vast majority of violence that occurs is passionate (personal reasons) and/or abbreviated (unplanned, uncoordinated, and punctuated). Inner city crime is entirely a result of low numbers of officers, at least within the configuration of our present society.

                How to put this… there are many, many places where a particular class of person congregates repeatedly for a few very common reasons. These places are “isolated” only by convention and common perception, in reality they are 2 or 3 doorways away from the streets. Easily 90% of the security infrastructure in place works because the only people being violent are doing it for passionate, personal reasons, or momentary emotive lack of control.

                2 types of incident would overwhelm the current system in short time: solo puppy and angry terrier minecrafts. Notice how whenever some mentally ill kid gets groomed by the feds, the whole country experiences anxiety, discontinuity, and reevaluation. This is not purely causal, rather a product of a system of fear propagation as manipulation at scale. But it remains the case that one sad little boi can cause millions of dollars of spending as fear induced measures get carried out holistically because of highly localized, punctuated disequilibrium of the social contract.

                Should dog biting incidents take even the faint shape of a pattern, should those getting bitten even remotely resemble a certain crowd, the countermeasures engaged would bloat “the system” of “protection” catastrophically. Remember, all targets are soft targets in some sense, while some are less soft and others are more soft. The stall in a public bathroom gives the illusion of privacy because our lower brain experiences heightened anxiety when we defecate in the open (this is why your dog stares at you when it poops; it is seeing if you are picking up the alertness slack while it is otherwise indisposed). Merely providing a thin barrier is enough for most humans to be put at ease, but they are no more safe than without it, their instincts are merely tricked. If society, for whatever reason, decided that we suddenly need bank vault level exclusion in order to go number 02 in public, the cost of implementing this demand would wreck more than a few companies, as well as initiate a cascade of other things.

                  Great post. You should write something up longer form about how security actually works in America.

                  However, the first reaction is going to be mass murder anyone and their families who fit the profile of the attackers in mindcraft. That’s always been the reaction by these sorts, which is why it’s stupid to discus unless part of a planned campaign. I know the mindcraft security is light and wouldn’t be hard to overcome, but to what end? Such things need leadership, intel, and a plan to make it worthwhile. Long before the feds let up enough to let the right consider such behavior(any group planning biting certainly has the feds there encouraging it), the left will be mindcrafting each other left and right in the streets.

                  Random violence to cause chaos is one of the tools the left uses to gain power, it’s not a tool we can use. Lone wolves are not terribly effective most of the time besides as deterrence, IE Timmy, Gary Plauche, etc.

                That’s generally what right wing people do now, probably under Fed direction. E.g. that guy who shot up a bunch of the nicest black people he could find. Why didn’t he garrote Harvard CRT profs in a Cambridge Whole Foods parking lot at night instead?

                Timothy McVeigh did terrorism which redirected national policy for a long time. He was a good man of course and of course it got him killed.

                The Bundy ranch did terrorism – tell me raising a militia against the government to impede government policy is not terrorism or some other high crime – and they were so successful their terrorism was even retroactively declared not terrorism.

                The strategic problem with the right’s terrorism is they go and shoot up a mall or provincial courthouse rather than taking out a bunch of essentially undefended high value targets. Basically everyone below the highest level political actors and billionaires is essentially undefended, and the political actors are actors and don’t even matter.

                Of course you can protect more and more people, but being protected reduces work efficiency and makes life unpleasant. It’s a bit like being in prison which also makes it low status.

                I am not advocating anything. I’m a foreigner anyway and consider the whole American effort doomed. This will not happen and I don’t want it to happen. In any case, I would have no involvement in any of it. I’m just analyzing the situation from a detached strategic viewpoint.

                Moldbug’s view that terrorism is always useless except for astroturf is just historically untrue. Of course it’s a politic position for a namefag who wants SV venture funding after writing his blog about overthrowing the government.

                What is true is that terrorism requires some organization because the guys getting killed are not usually strategists as well and if they are you will quickly run out of strategists. If the rulers can suppress ALL organization, no terrorism. As you point out, there appears to be a certain level of RW terrorism organized and directed by leftists against zero or negative value targets. The US defeated Islamic terrorism mostly by assassinating all the directive leaders with drones.

                From the broad historical perspective it’s bizarre that there’s a country in which millions of young men are dying deaths of despair from suicide or drugs while there is almost zero violent reaction by these people. What do they have to lose? They act like men already in a concentration camp. My conclusion from this is not to advocate action but to conclude that the US is doomed and try to protect myself accordingly.

                  And who knows, might be prosperous for a while still. Look at how some of our predictions are turning out. Bitcoin hitting a new low. UKR takes Kherson. US midterm elections business as usual. No universal signs that GAE collapse is imminent. So, normies shrug and continue to scroll their apps for cool stuff to buy.

                  We are making predictions on Jim Time. Which is really an attempt to zoom out and predict larger trends. One of which is, and Jim correct me if I say this wrong: societies can seemingly function for centuries, only to collapse in a few decades. And by ‘collapse’ we do not mean just a few years of shitty harvest, but the extinction of entire tribes.

                  We are headed for such a collapse. Hard to say how bad it might exactly be, and how soon it will be here, but that’s the way things are looking.

                  … All of which is to say that when you stick to your cage, you’ll die in your cage. Striking a deal with the devil has consequences, even if you weren’t aware that it was the devil you were dealing with.

                  Midterms are business as usual?

                  Looks to me more like business as 2020, as predicted. Though I did not expect that DeSantis would be permitted to win, and that he was permitted to win is a troubling hint that he is an enemy.

                  I did not expect bitcoin to fall, seemed mysterious and inexplicable. With the collapse of FTX, less mysterious.

                  The collapse of a major centralized exchange, if unexpected, should have caused a huge fall in the price of BTC. Since it caused a mild fall, was expected by insiders. The bad news is now in public, so likely we are now at a bottom. Unless people go digging for a lot more dirt at other exchanges, and find it.

                  Democracy died in 2020, but its corpse walks on in 2022. When the corpse collapses, no longer business as usual.

                  And it just might collapse in 2024. But it might not.

                  Regarding DeSantis, is it not a testament to his competence that he is the only man who defended his state against fraud? Seems like a possible Caesar candidate to me.

                  With the collapse of FTX, less mysterious.

                  I guess so. But does not explain why, pre-FTX crash, BTC hit a ceiling at 20K, while EUR and USD are inflating. I’ll likely still buy some more, but so far bitcoin is not turning out to be the gold replacement.

                  The corpse of the Roman Republic did not collapse for centuries. People just paid less and less attention to it. If a Christian army marching under Christian banners installs a Christian King in America, burning Washington and Harvard to the ground, massacring their residents, and enslaving their women, his title will likely be “president”.

                  > does not explain why, pre-FTX crash, BTC hit a ceiling at 20K

                  Does explain. That the FTX crash did not have huge effect on the price indicates that insiders knew what was coming.

                  I did not expect the fall, found it utterly mysterious and the explanations improbable. Now makes sense.

                  The exchanges are all connected to big money Democratic regulators, (overwhelmingly and suspiciously Jewish regulators)

                  Might be a good idea to pull your crypto currency out of the big exchanges till the dust settles.

  13. Pax Imperialis says:

    Florence is being identified as a problem for the wrong reason. The problem was the secularization of nuns.

    The historical role of nuns was to serve their community by helping the poor, teaching in schools, or providing health care. What this does in effect is sacrifice their own fertility to boost the overall fertility of other women by outsourcing child raising workload to a centralized system. Scale and specialization of economy in effect. Nearly every civilization more advanced than tribal had some form of this because it works. This is not the behavior of human sewerage in a civilizational ghetto.

    The problem with Florence and her type isn’t that she was childless, or even well regarded within Victorian society, but that she did so outside of religious vows and institutions. The modern childless female professional acts badly because on some level she hopes to be taken, and when she isn’t she takes out her frustrations on society at large. Not so for the nun, by taking vows that purposely and harshly shuts down fertility and much of her identity as a woman, the nun is now consciously aware that mate seeking behavior is verboten. Such constraints, enforced by priests, are what ensures good behavior.

    Ultimately we have no idea if Florence behaved good. Although there is academic work that suggests she remained chaste out of her personal religious convictions*, ultimately she is long dead along with everyone of her era. We have no real way of knowing, and I have suspicions about modern efforts to suggest one way or the other. Let us suppose she was chaste and give her the benefit of the doubt. She is still a problem because she paved a “respectable” pathway for other women to follow thereby further weakening the religious institutions responsible for ensuring good behavior in the first place. Victorian society declaring that such a pathway was virtuous in effect secularized nunnery and broke church power.

    Lastly, none of this was an argument against the need of civilizational ghettos to remove human sewerage. Red light districts exists for a reason and more importantly, religious authorities tolerated their existence on a material level even while condemning them on a spiritual level.

    *Personal convictions, be they religious or otherwise, do not survive multiple generations without institutional power to re-enforce. We see this with the transitions from monarchies to republics where the first couple of generations of republican leaders are virtuous because they were developed under a king who demanded virtue. With out a king, the ruling class lost their virtue.

    • jim says:

      > there is academic work that suggests she remained chaste out of her personal religious convictions*, ultimately she is long dead along with everyone of her era. We have no real way of knowing

      We have lots of ways of knowing. Florence Nightingale spent a whole lot of time in private one on one with affluent gentlemen, and the movement to make her a heroine of the crimean war featured the same people who wanted to free women from the sexual restraints of the eighteenth century. The people who made her a heroine are people who would want to make a whore a heroine, people who sought then, and whose memetic descendants seek now, to destroy the family.

      • Pax Imperialis says:

        And those same leftist types today make all sorts of claims about various historical figures being homosexual to justify it today, often with little direct evidence and large amounts of inference.

        I’m skeptical about digging through long dead history to ascertain the specific sexual proclivities of individuals when it plays the same game the left does. Even worse it misses the much larger issue that the religious hierarchies that would have prevented questions arising, either by prevention or punishment, in the first place no longer exists.

        • Neofugue says:

          Willing to bet 1BTC with you that Whorence Nightingale was not a virgin when the press made her a fake heroine, take it or leave it.

          In all seriousness, nuns are not supposed to leave their monasteries. The concept of monastics leaving their monasteries to engage with the secular world began with the Jesuits and never ended well. Monastics can and should be teachers but rarely anything else.

          Also, if I am a soldier and I receive a wound on the battlefield, I would prefer a male doctor to patch me up, not a dumb broad, just saying.

            I did say: “I have suspicions about modern efforts to suggest one way or the other. Let us suppose she was chaste and give her the benefit of the doubt.”

            I was building an argument that even if she were chaste hypothetically, that the main issue of accepting women outside religious orders into polite society is that it directly attacks the religious hierarchy that regulates morality and male/female relations. That’s a far deeper issue.

            Nursing use to be a male profession. The few women were from religious orders. When it became acceptable to be a nurse outside the church, nursing became a female dominant profession.

            The same happened to teaching. Most teachers use to be men. The few women were, again, from religious orders. Now most teachers are women and boys perform poorly in the feminized school system.

                  What are you babbling about? Women were banned from professions all the fucking time. Hell they banned for a shit ton of professions in America just 80 years ago.

                • Pax Imperialis says:

                  Among Cicero’s creditors one was a women. Look at Roman history and you see some women in the workplace.

                  Occupational Distribution in the 1851 Census of Great Britain shows women making up 30% of the workforce. There were even a few thousand in mining.

                  Women were banned from certain professions all the time, only to pop up elsewhere or in the same profession under different job titles.

                  The point is that it’s very hard for individual men to say no to women (pussy) and that it’s hard to keep them out of the workforce as a result.

                  The only organization that managed to bar women has been religious institutions where men use organizational power.

                  Dude women have always worked. And women have always been banned from the majority of professions. Your equation women’s liberation with working, and it’s just not the case. Giving women the choice is the root cause of women’s lib and your religious order stuff is just bizarre considering it’s failure record when women were not kept far away from men.

                • Pax Imperialis says:

                  A complete ban on women in any and all professional work is possible and good. Professional work being anything done outside the family head’s estate. Amish have nearly accomplished this but only in a leaky system that treats the wider world as a dumping ground. In a non-leaky system, you don’t have an outside dumping ground.

                  It was the irreligious secular societies that opened the flood gates of female choice. Only strong religion can hold that back. Ensuring limited monopolies over certain parts of the workforce for religion increases their power. Keep the few women, that for whatever reason leaked through the ban on professional work, under the church.

      When I was 15 a friend’s family took in a 20 year boy because he was a friend with the family’s daughter, but he wasn’t her boy friend and he needed a place to live. I asked my friend if he was stupid. Of course they were fucking. He insisted they were not. 2 weeks later the boy got caught fucking the 13 year old daughter on the couch and got kicked out.

      My friend was a stupid 15 year old kid. What’s your excuse?

      Women have almost uncontrollable sexual drives. If you want them to not fuck, then you need to keep them away from men and even then they go fucking crazy from the lack sex. No way Florence wasn’t fucking every soldier in sight.

        >Monasteries at best were a place to stash childless men where they could do little harm. At worst they were gay orgies.

        That statement is true enough today… but that is the complete opposite of the historical norm. Monasteries and nunneries had strictly enforced morality.

        Saint Augustine laid down rules, reinforced at Nicaea, that held strong for hundreds of years and largely averted scandal. By mid 1200s, Augustine rules were being partly ignored which contributed to the scandal at Watton; however, punishment could still be dealt out harshly. It took hundreds more years before you started to see overt immorality without punishment in the 1500s, resulting in Protestantism and further disintegration of religious order. By 1700 you get:

        “Nunneries at best were a place to stash childless women where they could do little harm. At worst they were brothels.”

        Make religion great again; partly done by ensuring childless women doing work like Florence can not exist outside of religious orders. That is a far deeper argument than whatever her alleged sex life may have been because it’s completely irrelevant.

        • Red says:

          My views are based on evolutionary biology and the red pill nature of women.

          Putting fertile age women in a nunnery is fucking stupid. The moment you do it, your asking for the place to become brothel. Women were designed by God with an insanely high desire for sex.

          Men are capable of being celibate(See Incels). Fertile age women are not.

          Monasteries are a completely different beast from Nunneries. Men and women are very different from each other but you act like the same sort of system works equally between the sexes.

          Make religion great again; partly done by ensuring childless women doing work like Florence can not exist outside of religious orders.

          Fertile age nuns are going to fuck soldiers just as often as whores like Florence. All women are like that. Whores as a nurses is fine. God knows every nurse I’ve ever met has been a whore. Just make sure they’re low status.

          • Pax Imperialis says:

            Just make sure they’re low status is not a solution. Asking for vows of celibacy, harshly enforced, naturally limits the number of women willing to go that path.

            The population of female professionals, be they teachers, charity workers, or nurses, exploded when they could do those jobs outside the church. Low status did not worry them. Remember all the discussions about how many women are very willing to fuck low status men?

            And putting fertile women into the workforce where they end up childless anyways is worse than a nunnery for they now get to cause work place problems.

            If the only way a woman could be a nurse is to be a nun, you would get much less nurses.

                  Well, this also presupposing a situation where women are treated as responsible agents acting of their own volition in the first place, so there are a number of unstated issues implicit with the premise.

                  If I’m honest, I have never seriously thought that women were not responsible agents. One of the few crimson pill points I just can’t agree to. I see women as responsible agents as much as men and I believe they are fully responsible for their actions, and they must pay the full consequences for them as well. I don’t believe that makes them equal in any practical way, but I do believe they are equally responsible for the duties that pertain to their own sex.

                  Universal morality is endlessly fake, gay and destructive. The only real question men need ask themselves is whether something helps them survive or not, if it works or not.

                  And that’s the thing here, we are talking about sexuality and the survival of the species and civilization, who the fuck cares what some woman wants? If she doesn’t want to spread her legs, be a good wife and mother, why should we give any value to her life and her opinion? Her existence is worthless if allowed to behave this way for our survival, if not outright destructive, so she might as well not exist. Hence, she becomes a wife whether she wants or not. She is only allowed to want and demand things that align with our survival, otherwise we have no natural obligation or necessity to suffer her existence.

                  In the first place, every single female in the animal realm the first thing they do as soon as possible is spread their legs and have progeny, it is their ethos. Women that reject this ethos need chains or killing, just as much as faggots. They’re the same kind of fucked up.

                  Fortunately God is good, such women don’t really exist, it’s pure progressive corruption. I’ve never seen a little girl, young enough for her natural instincts to be untouched, that didn’t play with dolls and pretended to be a mom.

                  This is treating women as if they are not responsible agents. You would only use this type of energy if they didn’t make responsible decisions.

There is no need for me to accept their own judgement or actions if I don’t find them acceptable. And especially I won’t if it goes against my own interests.

                  Your premise is that I must respect other “responsible agents” because we are “equal”, that’s where you are wrong.

Unless of course, he is strong enough to resist and it’s more beneficial to reach some agreement with concessions on both sides if possible. That’s earned status, and then you see each other as “equals” to a certain degree, because you’re both capable of opposing each other.

                  Unmarried women posses the status of free meal or a worm, there’s nothing to respect, no need to respect, no point to respect, it’s stupid and destructive to begin with.

                I know, but we have to be realistic about ourselves as we do not naturally think like women. So a likely result of men designing a system, and those who maintain it, to make certain jobs “low status” would result in those jobs not being “low status” to women.

                Easier solution is to institute a church monopoly on all professional female workers. That is similar to what the Taliban is doing, and I think it’s working.

                • Pax Imperialis says:

                  >Bullshit. Australia disproves this.
                  What did Australia prove exactly? As Neurotoxin pointed out:

                  “Disturbed by sex parties on the beach, the Australian authorities did not punish the men or the women involved. Instead they forced every woman to get married immediately, and punished them for speaking back to their husbands, putting a very firm thumb on the scales to enable men to pass shit tests, and forbid women from giving shit tests to their husbands.”

                  The authorities only had authority because they had faith. In their case a strong faith in Christianity. Men thus become conduits of power originating from religious orders. Religious order gives individual men collective power over individual women. In effect religious orders control women indirectly through the husbands or the authorities that assign husbands.

                  You are also misinterpreting Australia. The women who ended up in Australia in the first place were there due to petty criminal behavior. Their problem originated from a lack of authority in their lives; in other words a lack of ownership. Australia was accidentally the best thing for them.

                  Not all women are convicts, and not all women are suffering from a lack of ownership. Some are just batshit crazy. Some are genetic refuse. Some suffer from lack of ownership due to poor life choices but whose marriage to lower class men would undermine the social order and thus must remain single.

                  Those women need to be dumped somewhere they can’t do too much damage to society.
                  >A palace needs a sewer, and civilization needs ghettos.

                  I would prefer though if it were less a sewer and more a water reprocessing plant in appearance.

                  You quote Genesis 3:16 to assert that’s how all women should be treated. That is an ideal that should be aimed for. Reality is not ideal and the Bible is aware of that. Mary Magdalene was a single childless women due to being tormented by seven demons. Is that ancient speak for being batshit crazy? I’m not enough of a Bible expert to know, but it’s clear she was not suitable for marriage prior to Jesus saving her. Nor are all the harlots in the Biblical stories suited for marriage either.

                  You have to recognize the the blessing God gave to Eve and her descendants were only to those willing to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. God’s blessings are NOT free of charge to people who disobey him. Mary Magdalene could have easily spurn Jesus.

                  That’s a problem because appearances must be maintained. A loud NO with a quiet yes inline with historical Christian practices.

                  Under Islam one could simply use the religious order as a temporary holding organization to latter pair off women to the right men. That’s also not too dissimilar to Vestal Virgins under Roman paganism. Such practices are not viewed favorably by Christians due to their Pagan and Muslim associations.

                  Every woman I’ve met who was batshit insane, including my aunt was suffering form a local of ownership. The lack of children and the lack ownership leads to insanity once they’re beyond child bearing age.

                  Poor life choice? You talk like a progressive. I haven’t met a women yet who could make good choices without a man in her life.

                  God says: Be fruitful and multiply; To take a daughter and place her in convent when she could be wed to man and fulfill her popper role in life is an abomination.

                  So unowned women make poor life choices. We agree on basic principle.

                  To take it a step further, is it not understandable that should that condition continue, those poor choices compound making ownership untenable?

                  But men are imperfect, sometime they fuck up, sometime men are not vigilant enough and she picks Z which is run off and be a drug addict whore.

                  I largely agree with Red in ideals. I disagree in pragmatic reality because men make mistakes all the time. It happens. If they didn’t they would have no sins to confess and no need for God.

                  But we do sin, and sin all the time. This isn’t some Catholic blue pill shit. I respect power and love life. I hate weakness and fear death. If I must attach myself to Catholicism to destroy weakness and overcome death I will do so. If Orthodoxy is more suited I will attach to Orthodoxy.

                  I see no end of men willing to marry “pretty fucking terminal” women in western societies. It is so much so that what my grandfather would have called a loose whore (only one man previous to marriage) is dangerously approaching unicorn levels in this society, and it is likely that by the standards of our grandfathers we are all marrying drug addict tattoed whores today.

                  You don’t have to personally marry a drug addict tattoed whore, but if men are allowed to own women, real life experience tells me some man will. The bottom seems endless and there always seems to be someone there no matter how low, it’s only the top that is exclusive and rare.

                  You say you want pragmatic solutions but talk in abstracts all the time. The abstract Nightingale that wasn’t a whore before and now the abstract tattoed whore no one wants to marry. They don’t even exist.

                  Men don’t need collective power to own women, even one man alone could own ten women as long as he wasn’t prevented. Lions own as many lionesses, no problem.

                  Religion provides convenient agreements to a group of men who then take advantage of their cohesion to overpower and destroy other men, and take their women. That is what happens in the real world and how societies develop. In early “societies” (more like tribes really) there were no men who had any problem owning women as long as those women weren’t being fought for.

                  If you’re talking about effeminate men living decadent lives within the generous margins of advanced society, and how those faggots are too squeamish to own women that present some resistance, the solution is that such men shouldn’t be supported to exist and when they do exist we shouldn’t bother with their well-being at all.

                  Life bleeds, life suffers, life can be very ugly. The real world is hard and it can get endlessly tough. The moment you start to put your attention and care about losers you’re going to die. A successful civilization and a successful societal order demands and requires endless attention towards the productive and the talented, but extreme indifference if not outright rejection of dysfunctional people. To survive, the bird throws its progeny out of the nest, fly or die. To survive, we must disregard faggots, loafers, whores and any other maladjusted element in society. Perhaps if you’re feeling charitable, you give them alms at Sunday or something and hope for the best without more care than that.

                  Religious orders controlling women sounds to late stage collapse degeneracy that ends up in front-gynocracies like what we have today. The religion of progressivism and its parallel institutions do this to no end to great dismay and squalor for our civilization, they are literally killing us. Social institutions needs to stay the fuck away from a productive man’s home and let him be, king in his own house. Social institutions of any kind exist for the sole purpose of defending the rights of fellow productive men and destroy any opposing element. An advanced society demands social institutions that defend the rights of productive men at all costs but care none for those of criminals and such.

                  I’m assuming Red has standards and is not one of those men. We are also seeing men with financial means increasingly getting foreign brides in an attempt to had something better.

                  My fault. I talked via implications to have plausible deniability. It’s a habit that forms for personal protection, I’m having to consciously stop doing that here. Between the lines of what I wrote, Nightingale was a whore.

                  >and now the abstract tattoed whore no one wants to marry.

                  I asked Red why doesn’t he marry that. Not that no one would to marry that. Again I assume he has normal standards in an abnormal world. The point is that standards have to be enforced.

                  In nature one man would own multiple women and most men would own none. Most individual men don’t naturally have the power to own a woman. That doesn’t scale up well for civilization because that requires large scale male cooperation. Christianity stepped in and said one man, one woman. That is a redistribution of power to own from the man who could own many, to the men who couldn’t own any. What the man who gave up the opportunity to own multiple women gained was loyalty from the men he gave wives to. That’s one way of building an army.

                  >Religion provides convenient agreements to a group of men who then take advantage of their cohesion to overpower and destroy other men, and take their women.

In early “societies” (more like tribes really) there were no men who had any problem owning women as long as those women weren’t being fought for.

                  Some religions do that more than others. Europeans ran up against soft limits on taking other tribes women. It was really difficult to do that to fellow Europeans because of similar levels of cohesion and intelligence. War got increasingly costly and risky. Religion turned inward. Not until colonization did they have soft targets again. Then you run into the same problem of what do you do if all the easily conquered women have already been conquered. Now in recent years the Europeans have let down their guard and Muslims are take their women. Should the Europeans wake up, the Muslims are looking at dealing with a far superior nuclear military power.

                  I want like to see American men of good moral standing happily married with kids. I want to see the be masculine. Not dead in a ditch from an overdose. There has been a lot of chaff built into the gene pool. A soft landing for them would be ideal, but that might just by my sympathy for an America that no longer exists. However there isn’t that much chaff. Most of the male dysfunction to own originates from government enforced progressivism.

A successful civilization and a successful societal order demands and requires endless attention towards the productive and the talented, but extreme indifference if not outright rejection of dysfunctional people.

                  Unfortunately there is short term power to be gained by mobilizing those people. The current societal order is going to get increasingly destructive before you see a return to function. This is the reason why successful civilizations cannot just ignore dysfunctional people. Indifference is the first step to promoting.

                  No successful civilization disregarded those people. They actively removed them. Whether by throwing them off roofs, or forced into asylums, or even shipping them away to a prison island, you get those degenerates off the streets. The chaff that has built up is because we have disregarded faggots and whores. Loafers can somewhat be disregarded as they either work or die in normal circumstances and only exist today because of welfare.

                  The religion of progressivism does not control women. It says they are free to do what ever they like and subsidizes all their decisions. Unsurprisingly women make all the wrong, civilizational killing decisions. The religions of progressivism controls men, and tells them they will be persecuted and killed if they try to own a woman.

                  >Social institutions needs to stay the fuck away from a productive man’s home and let him be, king in his own house.

                  Not possible. A productive man is a strong, dangerous man. If you are my neighbor, I need to know we are on the same page and that you won’t come onto my property and attempt to kill me in my sleep. We do this by having fraternal bonds through social organizations. Religion is the traditional example. By sharing a religion, we have both allowed social institutions into our minds and homes. We are now in effect only a steward or petty king in service of something greater.

                  >Social institutions of any kind exist for the sole purpose of defending the rights of fellow productive men and destroy any opposing element.

                  They also provide fraternity. Most men are not hermits. Most men enjoy the company of others. That’s how social institutions can be corrupted. They start associating and caring for weaker men who would not be functional without the social organization. The problem we face is those weaker men may make up a large portion of current population. Pulling out the rug suddenly may just collapse the house along with everyone else.

                  >An advanced society demands social institutions that defend the rights of productive men at all costs but care none for those of criminals and such.

              As far as nunneries if a girl wanted to be a bad nun… the Catholic Church doesn’t exactly fire many members of its religious orders down the centuries they want to hush up all their scandals always have. How good the nuns were was thus generally up to how effectively controlling the mother superior was. Irish and more Northerly European papists probably had frigid strict nuns mostly. In Italy and Southern France I suspect the nunneries were basically brothels.

              “Women wanting to fuck low status men”

              I don’t remember this discussion but most women won’t do so short of your very rare REAL rapes. Your nymphos and your BPD cases will sometimes if you are around and a higher status man isn’t available.

                Women fuck men who are shockingly low status in the male hierarchy, because they perceive status very differently.

                Low status in the male hierarchy is a thug or bully. Someone who provokes a visceral fear response among men and women.

                  Brady’s wife has some fame and a lot of cash so she can probably ameliorate this to some extent. But she’ll be at best somewhere midlist among the booty calls of the irrepressible Jeremy Meeks (btw, current occupation: model/actor, 2 children with 2 women).

          Whether priestly celibacy was real or a pile of naked faggots, it gave us a church incapable of defending the family against the Romance movement, and if the monasteries were celibate, the nunneries were not. The nunneries prevented women from having sex with men.

          Most of the recruits to monasteries and nunneries were involuntary. Women were sent there because sexual immorality rendered them unmarriageable, Men were sent there because of disinclination or inability to earn a living. If unable, looked after, if disinclined, whipped.

              The time between the French Revolution to the current age is about 240 years. The time between the big push for clerical celibacy (1123) and the Reformation (1517) is 400 years.

                St Augustine laid a foundation in 397. The Second Council of Nicaea in 787 reiterated much of St Augustine’s philosophy. Using an end date of 1500, the Augustine church lasted about 1100 years.

                The big push for clerical celibacy was about making a largely unenforced policy desire an enforced policy. However, celibacy was widely practiced prior to 1123.

      And above all, it would be wrong of us to assume that any such young woman would ever be like any other young woman that shares the same preferences! Humans of different centuries are magically intrinsically different after all!

      Same argument used by the faggot historian of the 20th century that tried to tell us that Ancient Greeks were all faggots that loved to fuck each other in the ass, and that Spartans were super gay and the super gayness is what made them such great warriors, all based in a few dozen weird depictions in some amphora from the millions that exist.

      Never mind the fact that we live today in a society that worships faggotry and despite that, it remains a minuscule minority of people. People that in places like special forces are particularly despised! Humans, after all, were complete different species a couple of millennia ago.

      • Pax Imperialis says:

        >a young woman who loved to frequent the private company of numerous men

        You’ve established a large reasonable suspicion and probable cause. No investigation was conducted at the time. Since she is now dead along with all those men, there is nothing to search and seize nor suspects to interview. This is not enough to establish a case that would win in court under English legal traditions.

        Those faggot historians that say everyone from Pericles to Elvis was a secret faggot do so by claiming reasonable suspicion to get a probable cause that is impossible to investigate. They then make a leap in logic to state there is clear evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.

        Of course the first scenario has far strong reasonable suspicion… but it’s also playing the same game as the left where you are reaching far back into suspected historical sexual activities of long dead individuals to make political use for your cause. That’s just bad practice.

        My argument is that Florence’s suspected activities are irrelevant. That even with the benefit of the doubt, she clearly was part of the destruction of the church.

        Now I admit, I skimmed through her wiki page because frankly, I don’t care all that much about a women I can’t breed with.

Have you, ever in your life, met someone who has made such a claim *also* say that a women who places herself in a situation where she is alone with a man, is looking to get fucked by that man? I doubt you would need more than one hand to count the times.

                  The problem here is you are trying to reason under a nominalistic, gender neutral perspective that thinks a chain of logic which applies to a man, and a chain of logic that applies to a woman, and a chain of logic that applies to men and women, are all the same chain of logic, that can be interchanged with each and any object with equal applicability. Not so. Different things, different chains of logic.

                  A fag reads faggotry into male behavior because he is a fag, and he reads faggotry into female behavior, also because he is a fag. There is no contradiction. It would be the man who would say that *both* men and women are fucking (or that neither are fucking), who would be being inconsistent.

                  If you take anything away from this, it’s that the people in the ruling class are extremely dysfunctional and that even the ones that know better can’t fucking communicate.

The left took a small sliver of Greek history at their worst, and smeared the entire historical record with shit.

                In Solon Laws any man practicing homosexuality was:

                banned from becoming a member of the council of nine;
                was banned from standing for elections as a priest;
                was banned from being a citizen’s advocate;
                was not allowed to exercise power in or outside the city of Athens;
                was not permitted to be sent an emissary of war;
                was banned from expressing his opinions;
                was banned from entering public temples;
                was banned from being wreathed in races;
                was not allowed to enter the agora.

                All these violations were punishable by death. That was the historical norm among the Greeks. I’m sure if you only looked at a few years out of a thousand, you could come to the conclusion that the Ancient Greeks were also feminist democracies. You’d be wrong.

                  And you start talking about Greeks and some army guy, where I admittedly got a bit confused. The first claim is absolutely true. Just google any historically relevant man with ‘was he gay’ and you get all sorts of left wing professors claiming such.

                  The second claim is harder to quantify, but look at how American men are extremely cold to each other compared to countries where homosexuality is overtly removed. If the boys are having to say “no homo” as a prefix to normal juvenile behavior, there might be a problem with male cohesion. There is academic research that shows when men are afraid of falsely signaling gay, they get less close to each other and now I’m trying to remember where I saved it.

But as he already had young sons, and as the Alcmeonid family were said to be under a curse, he had no wish that his newly-wedded wife bear him children, and therefore had unusual intercourse with her.

                  At first the woman hid the fact: presently she told her mother (whether interrogated or not, I do not know) and the mother told her husband. Megacles was very angry to be dishonored by Pisistratus; and in his anger he patched up his quarrel with the other faction.

But if it was clear that the attraction lay in the boy’s outward beauty, he banned the connexion as an abomination; and thus he caused lovers to abstain from boys no less than parents abstain from sexual intercourse with their children and brothers and sisters with each other.”

                  I don’t trust gay scholars to tell me this mean boy fucking was accepted in Greek society. If you dig into the ancient Greek sources, there are far more describing pederasty as a form of paternal mentorship than anything related to eros.

Whether such matters are to be regarded jestingly or seriously, I think that the pleasure is to be deemed natural which arises out of the intercourse between men and women; but that the intercourse of men with men, or of women with women, is contrary to nature, and that the bold attempt was originally due to unbridled lust. The Cretans are always accused of having invented the story of Ganymede and Zeus because they wanted to justify themselves in the enjoyment of unnatural pleasures by the practice of the god whom they believe to have been their lawgiver.”

          I know I went sarcastic with the argument so maybe you missed the point, but I do have the evidence. As I said, humans are humans and follow human nature. Let’s put this in Aristotelian logic:

          —> All young women who love to frequent the private company of numerous men are giga whores.

          —> Florence Nightingale was a young woman who loved to frequent the private company of numerous men.

          —> Florence Nightingale was a giga whore.

          Problem?

          —> Every advanced civilization has been built by patriarchal men who create highly complex social structures where faggots are despised if not outright executed.

          —> The Greeks built an advanced civilization.

          —> The Greeks were patriarchal men who created a highly complex social structure where faggots were despised if not outright executed.

          Problem?

          I don’t care about what a faggot historian who should be beaten within an inch of his life and put to do real work says. I go full Aquinas, life is around me, to learn about life I live life and observe life. And I can tell if history is being fucked with or not when the cases are very conspicuous like this two situations. It is absolutely impossible that Ancient Greeks were different humans or that Nightingale was a different human. Humans are humans, they were humans, they are humans, they will be humans. There are no magical humans, there are no different humans. Humans behave like humans, always have, always will. The human who behaves and resembles another human, will do similar things and behave in similar ways to the other human regardless of **current year**TM.

          This is not a political point, the problem here is that you’re trying to argue against human nature. Your position is progressivism and demon worshiping, your position is an enemy position. You’re arguing for WEF, Greenblatt, faggots, feminism, Covid priests and niggers.

You are supposed to worship Thor/Indra/Zeus/Jupiter only if you have his Y Chromosome in your blood and semen and can trace it all the way from his life as a mortal to your life as a mortal.

Regularly prosecuted as common scolds etc. You really need to create a horror in women’s minds of what winding up unmarried means.

        Women who serve men when young without being wives… they should be considered lower than wives but much higher than old maids. It should be assumed and encouraged that most of them will marry out especially given that we make a point of being of treating old maids horribly.

At best that results in older and older marriage and falling fertility. At worst it opens the door for further cultural decline.

      Where are all the videos of these childless nurses saving all of those Russian soldiers? Who? When? Where?

      The real question in that picture is why are young women allowed to be unmarried and be childless whores? If we lived in sane societies, they’d be long married off. Those nurses can be nurses by the grace of men and the grace of the better women who came before them, if it was up to their childless whorish ways we’d be extinct, starving, in squalor.

      The nurses should be grateful of everything they have that did nothing to obtain and absolutely do not deserve, since they are childless whores. The only woman who deserves the respect and the consideration of men is that which does her duty, first and foremost being a virtuous and obedient wife.

      These imagined nurses, if they exist, were born to women who did what they didn’t and men who suffered through much so they could enjoy comfort and food. And you think we should be admiring these stupid fucking whores that survive by doing everything they shouldn’t be doing and refuse to do what was done for them to be able to exist.

        That leads to another question, are the people vaxed with the non mRNA vaxes going to be dropping dead?

Putin tried very hard to force people to take it from what I remember.

        • S says:

          Aren’t the non mRNA vaxes basically normal flu vaccines? Not very effective due to the rate of mutation, net neutral or negative due to deaths from allergic reaction, but not something that destroys everyone’s health and kills them.

          • Red says:

            J&J,Sputnik, and SinoVac are Adenovirus vector vaccines/ viral vector vaccines. Basically a live virus is injected and it infects a cell and produces covid spike proteins instead of copies of the virus of the Andenovirus. The infected cells are targeted and killed by the immune system eventually.

            The short term health outcomes form Adenovirus vector vaccines are better, but I suspect it’s mostly because they produce fewer spike proteins than the mRNA shots. The immune system has something to attack which probably reduces the amount of damage from the immune system targeting random systems when it can’t find the a virus producing the spike protean. mRNA vaccines are a immune nightmare since there’s nothing for the immune system to attack, just trillions of harmful spike protean popping out random cells causing the immune system to go nuts.

            There’s also evidence that the mRNA shots changes your genitic code to continue to produce more spike proteins which Adenovirus can’t do(that we know of).

            The people who had the by far the worst short term outcomes from COVID vaccines took Moderna which has the highest spike protean count.

            • Pax Imperialis says:

              Packaging is also different. As noted by Red, J&J is basically a live virus. In contrast, the mRNA vaccine is packaged in lipid nanoparticles. Those particles greatly leak out of the injected muscle tissue into the blood where it’s distributed throughout the body. They also latch onto cardiovascular cells far easier including the heart tissue leading to the well known issue of myocarditis. Less talked about is how the lipid nanoparticles also latch onto the cells of the blood vessels which may explain what is being found. Adenovirus does not appear to do that.

              I talk with a lot of US mil. Most seem to have taken the J&J. None have suddenly dropped dead so far. Main issue seems to be a crashed immune system in the short term. Immune system does bounce back eventually provided no boosters. I’m pessimistically optimistic about long term effects.

              The guys that are talking about long term issues also took mRNA. One guy is in constant lower back pain right where the kidneys are 2 years after the vaccine…

    Based on Biden’s speech tonight the play is to rig, but mostly rig against MAGA republicans including multi day vote counting until they’ve produce enough ballots(Biden warns the counting will take days) and then arrest people who question the election for election interference.

    The rigging is likely to be blatant and much larger than they intend. It’s likely Dems who are scheduled to lose will just print the votes they need. Not like the Dems can accuse their own side of rigging a vote.

    • Kunning Drueger says:

      So I know I have made a number of forecasts and predictions regarding the 2022 midterm elections. I’m going to go ahead and stand by everything I’ve said, and just ride out the folly or rest on the laurels, come what may. But today has been an interesting one in terms of the documented emotional outpouring over the idea that the coronatarians are even floating a potential amnesty for what they did. There is genuine hatred leaking out at the seams of the usual cuckservative discourse centers. While all the usual suspects of controlled opposition, who themselves were advocates of lockdowns and other heinous operations(thanks Tucker Carlson )can be counted on to play ball, the users and commenters who normally just fall in line behind the Judas goats seem to be resistant to any kind of softening. When libertarians are screaming for lynchings, you know you’ve reached a critical moment in the societal discourse. I don’t know if this will last, and recent history tells us it almost certainly will not.

      I think we may be seeing a much more canny and capable institutional left than we previously assumed. I think there is a significant chance they will let many Republicans win because the elections will have no bearing on the institutions, and the institutions are where they are fighting the radical left for control. The intelligent left, both radical and institutional, know that the institutions are all that really matters, whether they are capable of articulating this concept or not. The elections are just an opportunity to abuse whites and demonstrate loyalty and signal holiness in the public eye. Only the right wing is dumb enough to believe the elections matter. While the leaders of the radical left, the intelligent ones, are focused on the institutions, their foot soldiers and enforcers are just as dumb as the right wing in how they react to and interact with elections.

      Is it possible that the institutional left wants the right wing to get their little red wave and also have the radical left attempt the night of a thousand steals? It would be a pretty interesting two birds with one stone situation, because the radical left just expects the institutional left, which means most of media and the chattering classes, to cover for their antics. At this point, the radicals don’t even wonder if they’ve got the institutional left with them or not, it’s just assumed that with them or no, they will fall in line eventually. By letting the right wing steal a bunch of things that don’t matter, they can throw more smoke over what’s actually happening, and at the same time, by letting all these newly elected right-wingers investigate a bunch of pointless steals that don’t matter, they may be able to rid themselves of their radical anklebiters.

      I know you guys deal with a lot of tin foil coming from me, and I apologize if this is just another piece of brush on the perpetual fire. I don’t suddenly think the left wing is super capable or intelligent, and I know that in the long run, the holiness spiral will always eat its own. I just don’t buy the idea that the left has unity of command or unity of purpose. I’d love to hear anyone else’s thoughts, observations, or critiques

It’s like leaving a pile of money sitting on table with no one around. Why not help yourself to it? Good people won’t steal, but we’ve already know the Democrats are evil.

        KD, how do you think they’ll be restrained from blatantly cheating?

        • Kunning Drueger says:

          @Red
          I’m just going to indulge my fantasy posted above as if it’s the truth, so that’s the point of departure. In reality, there’s probably a lot more detail and nuance that I’m going to leave out.

          The crux of my idea is that the institutional left is practically surrounded or outflanked in every institution they control by radical leftists. In some cases it’s just the HR department, and in other cases it’s literally everyone except for the leadership. So what they need is a purge that is not a purge. They don’t want to lose power, and they can’t suffer an internal civil war over who’s in charge or what the message is. So to get their purge, it has to look like, indeed be like, some external force taking out their internal adversaries.

          So the idea would be to not give any guidance from the center about what should be stolen and how it should be done. Instead, they’ll just let the various apparatuses do whatever they deem necessary. No 900 member zoom calls, no central coordination. Anyone that attempts the steal anyways can be hung out to dry, as they are going to be the most radical and the most self-assured, which is to say the least dependent on the institutional left leadership. As we know from this blog, 2000 mules, and just good sense, every single election is rife with fraud and cheating, and has been so for quite some time. So there’s always going to be people who have a vested interest in doing their job, whether their job is generating fake ballots or corralling real ballots or what have you. But without the central coordination, there will be no unified messaging. I know it feels like crazy pills to listen to the way people talk about 2020 being the most sound election in history, while 2016 was somehow subverted by Russian Facebook posts on Twitter, but the unifying feature was the media messaging. When the media said there was a conspiracy, the conspiracy existed in the minds of everyone that relies on media for framing reality. Likewise, when the media said there couldn’t possibly be a conspiracy, no matter how much footage, no matter how many witness testimonies, no matter how much evidence was presented, the people who rely on the media just could not see a conspiracy, and this included the right wing if you will recall. As a tool, media messaging will not be around forever, though, t this point, it would appear that everyone who predicted its death is not working from the right timeline, because Ukraine, and COVID, and a dozen other examples show that media messaging still carries the day nine times out of 10. But it only works when it’s all on message. There is a slight tolerance in the system for Fox saying B and everyone else saying A, but not that much, which is why Fox always inevitably toes the line even if it’s kicking and screaming, or just appearing to kick and scream. If you have the internet saying one thing, the CNN crowd saying another thing, the international news having its own third thing, and mainline conservatism screaming to high heaven about fraud and cheating, the fragile normie mind will only be able to handle so much before they start noticing the shit that’s right in front of them.

          So, for my crazy idea to have any validity, they won’t need to restrain anyone. They will merely not act, and hope the virulent right wing will eviscerate anyone that does act. Without the centralized media messaging cover, the steals and frauds will be plain as day. Then, Mom and Pop BoomerCon will be free to believe whatever they’d like, because they will have a buffet of messaging to choose from. Mr and Mrs. Traditional Lib will also be free to select their narrative and the college crowd, the brown crowd, whatever crowd, everyone will have a message to believe in and other messages to consider lies. Letting that mess go on for a period of time would do a lot of the heavy lifting for the institutional left without them having to actually do the dirty work themselves.

          So that’s the general idea. Again, I’m sure there’s stuff in there that makes no sense, and don’t forget that this all just kind of came to my brain last night for no good reason whatsoever, so apologies if it’s just retarded or wrong

                After the steal in 2022 they’re likely to get the sort of rightwing ineffectual violence they want. This give them carte blanch to curb stop anyone opposing them. Those they can’t charge directly with a crime, they’ll let antifa stomp them and then Rittenhouse the ones that fight back. This is all assuming no elite leadership.

                Musk is playing his own game and his goals are pretty clear. The Cathedral hates him but they also need him but I don’t think they particularly fear him. So he’s able to jerk them around just a little bit and get concessions.

                  The Cathedral is negotiating with Musk. They had unquestioned, unchallenged power over the Narrative Shaper Device, and now they are attempting to negotiate as much retention of the shadow of that control as possible.

                  Musk is no Messiah, and a Return of the Banned will not be some cataclysmic defeat of the Polygon. But the Cathedral is negotiating with Musk, not the other way around. If they were all powerful, they would have said No, and that would be the end of it. Instead, he made a play, and they tried, multiple times and in multiple ways, to say No. And they failed. Now they are fighting for pieces of what they once had whole.

                  Musk cannot make twitter a botless /pol at least not right away…

                  Needs to check for bombs in the code… needs to have his own parallel cyber infrastructure not controlled by glownigger tech and to secure a revenue stream independent of the cathedral advertisers.

                  Unless he does this the Cathedral can make twitter gab and parler… have some patience I’m told already a lot of the bots are gone. Its not so important that you can say nigger with a hard R.

        There is genuine hatred leaking out at the seams of the usual cuckservative discourse centers. While all the usual suspects of controlled opposition, who themselves were advocates of lockdowns and other heinous operations(thanks Tucker Carlson )can be counted on to play ball, the users and commenters who normally just fall in line behind the Judas goats seem to be resistant to any kind of softening. When libertarians are screaming for lynchings, you know you’ve reached a critical moment in the societal discourse. I don’t know if this will last, and recent history tells us it almost certainly will not.

        I feel this too. The oppression over COVID was horrendous for social animals. We lived in a fully communist hell whole for 2 years. The many crimes and injustices committed by the left cry out to God for righteous vengeance. May his holy sword smite the COVIDains and may they all burn in hell for all eternity.

        The sudden emotional reaction came about because that article showed real weakness from the left. Their religion is dead and they’ve committed all these crimes in the name of the great and mighty COVID Demon that Putin slew. They’re crying about the damage the COVID demon did to them. When they displayed that weakness it became safe to think about vengeance.

        Note: it’s not actually safe to think about vengeance yet. I’m not going to start a twitter account and start shit posting, I think the danger is increasing, not decreasing.

        I have absolutely no doubt that the smarter and less insane left (Pelosi, Soros, and company) is preparing a plot, or more likely several plots, to crush both the stupid and even more insane left and the sane right. In this sense, your speculations are undoubtedly correct.

        I doubt they will succeed. In this sense, I think your speculations are unlikely to be correct.

        On the other hand, the Thermidorians succeeded – paving the way for Napoleon. Sooner or later, the holiness spiral will be ended. But the Thermidorian reaction is also known as “The White Terror”. To halt leftism, we are likely to need at least a few hundred, probably tens of thousands, of executions of Covid worshipers and school groomers.

        An important and effective part of the Thermidorian reaction were the incredibles, people wearing ostentatiously or exaggerated high status clothing, equipped with clubs, with which they would beat the crap out of leftists with impunity, thus lowering the status of leftists and leftism. If we don’t see few killings and quite a lot of beatings, the holiness spiral is not going to stop.

        The saner left wants it to stop, but their plans are unlikely to conceive of what will be needed.

        The equivalent of the incredibles would be the slightly less radical left allowing cucked controlled Nazis to render the streets safe from joggers and the schools safe from groomers. Recucklicans are not going to cut the mustard. They will need cucked Nazis, similar to the Azov brigade in the Ukraine and the “Rothchilds Rothschilds Rothschilds” fednats of Gab.

        • Contaminated NEET says:

          The less insane left would never dream of crushing the more insane left. They’ll cheat a bit to keep them out of power, like they did with Bernie, but that’s for their own good, because the public just isn’t ready yet. What they won’t do is jail or kill any of them, because then they wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. Too much of the institutional left truly believes the radicals are their moral betters. The radicals, meanwhile, would guillotine the entire institutional left in a heartbeat. Of the two, I know who I would bet on.

      She’s also had covid like 4 times. Jim’s right about the highly vaxxed getting the WuFlu over and over again.

      • jim says:

        “Mucormycosis, also known as black fungus, is a serious fungal infection that comes under fulminant fungal sinusitis, usually in people who are immunocompromised. It is curable only when diagnosed early”

        In other words she had a fatal sequel to collapse of her immune system, and her doctor refused to diagnose it because it might make the jab look bad. Doctors are under extreme pressure to refuse tests that might indicate harmful consequences of the jab, and to not diagnose ailments that were previously extremely rare, but are now killing large numbers of young healthy adults. Hey, it is completely normal for athletes in the prime of life to suddenly drop dead for absolutely no reason – or absolutely no reason that anyone can diagnose.

        https://archive.ph/zbmdO

        What hit her is an aids like sequel to the jab – the jab and covid both attack your immune system – weakened immune system, repeated covid infections that take an unreasonably long time to clear, which weakens your immune system further, eventually resulting in mild permacovid, then cancer or some opportunistic infection like black hairy tongue strikes you down.

          I live in a purplish area and I keep seeing people wearing N95 masks going to the store and other places while 90% of the people don’t wear a mask. The number of people wearing them has actually gone up month over month for the last 4 months. They keep looking around fearfully as well. I used to chock that up as holiness signaling, and it might originally been that.

          Today I’m wondering if their friends are dropping dead to to the vaxes and other after effects, and that they keep catching covid over and over again. It would explain the real fear I see in their eyes. Worst of all their doctors won’t help them because their doctors are terrified of the truth.

          • jim says:

            Well, if you are immuno compromised, going to wind up masking.

            And it is becoming obvious that repeated boosting has produced widespread and serious immuno compromise.

            Which does not necessarily imply that they are all going to keel over from heart disease and covid resemblng aids. But they well might eventually. We do not know yet, and I am pretty sure that the intent was to murder everyone, that the intent of the lockdown was an apparatus of coercion that would get everyone to take the jab, and the intent of the jab was mass murder on an enormous scale. Fortunately both Covid and the Jab were designed by Shaniqua.

              Same. It’s difficult to tamp down but I find some relief in considering that wrathful sentiment is usually of an abstract nature i.e. engaging the man on the street we’re usually more forgiving and less prone to condemn contra genocidal solutions for highly problematic groups of varying size and degree. In a world of prevalent evil wrath is an instinctive response for the righteous so I’d say you’re in good company.

              Your prayer above about forging these sometimes unruly inclinations to our Lord’s will is something I reflect upon and wrestle with daily. Rest assured, Christ is guiding us.

                Your list of evil things that Soros supposedly wants avoids acknowledging that Soros is special, in doing effective things to accomplish certain of them. It is a general indictment of Jews, and fails to notice that some people, disproportionately Jewish people, are doing particular bad things.

                It therefore fits into the Marxist narrative that anyone who has anything, including Soros, Musk, and the man who owns a Dominos franchise on the corner, was assigned those things by Rothschilds so: “Fight the power, kill the cows of the peasant who was unfairly assigned two cows, burn down the liquor store” Which narrative Soros is pushing, and his success in pushing it manifests as Ukrainian Nazis forcing Ukrainians to die for Globohomo, Soros, Victoria Nuland, and Zelensky.

    This reminds me of the fact that my parents and grandparents grew up in the same Southern city as I did and spoke fondly of the fact that, as children, they could walk to school, play outside, etc. safely and no one worried about crime, abduction, etc.

    That was not the case when I was growing up there and even less so now, though there was a “tough-on-crime” period after Rodney King and OJ when things got a bit better for a bit. Note that the jogger proportion of the population was high then, is actually probably lower now, percentage-wise, due to Hispanic influx.

    Part of it may have been a generally higher risk tolerance back in those days. But still, it was a majority jogger city and the whites felt comfortable to let there kids walk to school like you still see in Japan.

    What changed? Obviously nothing but the will to keep the joggers separate.

    • Red says:

      What changed? Obviously nothing but the will to keep the joggers separate.

      It’s the legalization of crime. For most of the population crime is a perception issue. If they observe criminals getting caught every time they commit even a small crime and doing hard time, then those inclined towards crime are less likely to commit crimes. If they see criminals running wild then more and more the population gets involved in crime.

      Japan has this problem solved down to a T. They keep a few petty non violent criminals around while most criminals are arrested very quickly for every crime. When they hit a major crime case where they can’t solve it quickly, they arrest a petty criminal and railroad them. Thus keeping the perception that criminals always get caught. Even the guy who gets away with murder this way is unlikely to re-commit the crime as he’s sure he got away due to some fluke.

      Finally criminals work on a ladder system. Small crimes, then larger crimes, then murder, etc. If they get nailed hard on the smaller stuff most never advance up the ladder to the next sort of crime. When DA’s stop prosecuting smaller crimes more and more criminals just keep climbing that ladder. That’s why there is a lag between the start of soft on crime polices and the resulting crime wave.

In return, the Yakuza do their part to absorb or intimidate/get rid off the sort of petty criminal that would make normie Japanese feel unsafe in their own, non-red light district neighborhoods.

            Besides the obvious red-light districts, like Tokyo’s Kabuki-cho, I’ve heard comments from Japanese friends to the effect of “oh, this is a yakuza neighborhood” upon passing a house with an obviously much higher-than-normal level of privacy and security. Such neighborhoods are actually deemed even safer-than-average for the normie due to the above plus “don’t shit where you eat” effect.

          • Fidelis says:

            I agree in principle, but I am not sure how much actual control they have over the network. It would be noticed pretty quickly if the underlying validators started acting in unison to censor a particular piece of information, say a hash address of a static webpage that had something interesting to say. Same thing goes for tokens and contract calls as well. People would see the censorship, raise the alarm, and in no time at all the whole thing would plunge in value, which would actually kill the system now that it moved to PoS. There are too many devs that actually believe the message of a value neutral Free Transaction network, and aren’t as capable of overcoming the crimestop that allows you or I to smell the sulfur, if the social contract breaks then they quit eth and build on something else. Crypto doesn’t pay as well as traditional software, most devs believe in the mission not the money.

            The recent episode with Tornado Cash revealed this. Immediately all the rotten infrastructure revealed itself, and now devs are working on filling in the gaps of the system. The current belief is that the validator network is still value neutral and censorship proof; if that changes, more drastic shifts in alignment will occur.

              If you are unwilling to call out the enemy as the vicious lying hateful demon worshiping treacherous murderous faggots that they are, you are likely to find it difficult to fill the “gaps” in the system.

              The problem is that the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.

              Holy war approaches. Indeed holy war began in 2014, but normality bias means that people are taking a long time to realize that war is upon them.

              I saw the rotten infrastructure a very long time ago. If the good guys in ether are only seeing it now, they have a problem. Which does not mean the good guys are bound to lose, but I have as much confidence in them as I have in Musk introducing FreezePeach on Twitter.

              It is not so much a question of how much control the enemy have. They in fact have very little control. Within the cryptocurrency ecosystem, they are in a position of severe weakness. The problem is that they are willing to lie, to betray their friends and kin, to murder their friends and kin, and are likely to get away with murdering their friends and kin and feel extremely holy about doing so. They are at war, and using psychological and spiritual warfare to prevent those that they intend to destroy from going to war against them. They are utterly unwilling to compromise, while piously offering compromises that they have absolutely no intention of honoring, while those that they intend to destroy (and they intend to destroy all that are good and all that is good) will make compromises that turn out to be completely onesided, and will continue to honor those compromises even after the other side has utterly dishonored them.

              To fill the “gaps” in the system, you will need to so from the psychological and spiritual frame that you are at war with demons. The enemy is very few and very weak. The problem is that the good guys are spiritually disarmed. You have to realize that compromise is impossible, or rather that the enemy is very willing to compromise whenever it finds itself momentarily in a position of weakness, but has not the slightest intention of honoring those compromises.

              • Fidelis says:

                I realize this, I know that there is no compromise or deal to be made with the possessed and deranged.

They project their detached rationalism, “oh this is just rational actors acting out their desire for money and status.” I cannot tell you how many conversations I’ve had with people who recognize the recent pathogen crisis was engineered, recognize that europe is getting fucked on energy, recognize that the war in ukraine is fully a reaonse to usg imperial policy, but still do not buy the nature or motivation of those behind the schemes. They do not model the enemy as possessed by hatred, envy, desire for annihilation, and so they will not understand when the enemy harms themselves and makes irrational plays to enacy these desires. These people already overcame much crimestop, but did not pass the final hurdle. What can be done with those that do not even model the power structure as parasitic, let alone demonic?

I think it is a fool’s errand to attempt to fact them into awakening.

                  so I have landed at the position. that fiction is the only way to sell the truth. there needs to be in abundance of well-crafted, engaging, and beautiful movies and stories and songs, all of which subtly or otherwise point to the idea that daemons roam the earth. The question in my mind is how to go about this. for some reason, the traditionalist side of our culture cannot seem to in to art in the right formulation to break into the popular consciousness. I don’t buy the leftist idea that all artists are left-wing. in fact, when you look at the nuts and bolts of the creation of art, artists are some of the most conservative people imaginable. but the left seems to have a lock on art culture as it perceives itself. I feel so strongly that this is the correct path, that I think all efforts of the dissident right and friends should be focused on generating high quality art of every type. unfortunately, I don’t think this idea is quite that popular yet.

                  What can be done with those that do not even model the power structure as parasitic, let alone demonic?

                  The tried and tested version in the bible is that civilization ends, demons and sinners are punished for their crimes, and those who stuck to God get to survive another day. Sodom and Ghomorra. It’s not pretty, but it’s quite possibly what we have.

                  A random content creator is, like most other random subjects, going to be more or less passively absorbing the zeitgeist of his milieu, and he will thus likewise repeat the spirit of the times in other forms of art, which itself in turn further boosts the signal of that zeitgeist.

                  We shall see.

                  It will take a while for things to shake out.

                  The difference that zeeks make matters most at scale, and at scale there is a lot of lockin due to network effects. So if game over, it is going to take a long time. Network effects tend to be complex and difficult to understand or predict.

                  Likely the process will be long, complex, and messy, with zeek based addons and services to existing currencies, and the addons eventually swallow the thing they were added onto, and one of the addons swallows all of the others.

                  A zeek based dex is likely to transform from a place where currencies are converted into each other, to a currency. This is Henry de Faggot’s bright idea, but I think he will be eaten by enemies that he thinks are his friends.

                  At this point, I do not know what is going to happen. It all depends on network effects and network lockin. The cleanest, simplest, fastest, and best solution is a new zeek based currency but any new zeek based currency faces one hell of a cold start problem. Network lockout. But, if it could somehow surmount the cold start problem, it would be a stupendously profitable investment.

                  Henry de Faggot has good intent, and a very good idea, but he is working within a worker’s coop. Worker’s coops rely on the selfless virtue of some of their members, which virtue they fail to reward. So eventually all the good people leave and the coop is overrun by loser scumbags. On the other hand, his coop is full of good people and has achieved some good stuff.

I’ve watched enough of the demo/introduction videos to know that a lot of these projects are little more than pump & dump schemes. So a “new” zeek coin could sidestep the cold start issue by acquiring as many little coins as possible after calculating what the low threshold number needed to become a “player.” But out the little coins purely for their user bases, then roll out your system, paying closest attention to active market segments so you can very quickly get a large amount of Proof of Concept data. All of this with the goal of not competing with the big coins, but forcing them to adopt zeeks. Is that all just silliness?

                  Buying market share turns out to be a piss poor strategy for overcoming the cold start problem. Google+ could not do it, I surely cannot.

                  Any big network is a network of little networks, and the cold start problem is one of launching on a very little network on which one has a viable use case – or as many such little networks as possible. Google+ launched everywhere, and did not have a viable use case anywhere.

                  Henry de Faggot arguably does have viable cold start use case for Penumbra. I suspect that right now a whole lot of clever people are looking for viable cold start use cases for zeek based systems.

So a shotgun or something like that would be useful both as an anti satellite weapon, and as an anti anti satellite weapon.

              At orbital velocities, even an object the size of a grain of sand can have catastrophic effects, and there is no fluid medium slowing things down either.

              Warheads designed for space can have dramatically larger kill radii than in atmosphere by kicking up huge dust clouds which overwhelm targets like this.

              • jim says:

                there is a lot of space in space. It is non trivial to land a grain of sand on target.

                • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

                  Well yes, that’s why warheads designed for atmosphere with large fragments are less effective.

            • Starman says:

              Due to orbital velocity, a shotgun wouldn’t be needed for a Starlink to destroy a Russian satellite. A collision will do just the thing. There are 3,000+ and growing number of Starlinks. There are only 169 Russian satellites.

              With the high delta V electric propulsion and enormous number of Starlinks, Elon can use just a small fraction of his constellation to destroy every single Russian satellite.

              • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

                Large scale constellations of microsats for use as ISR and C2 networks, can just as easily be used as a constellation of seek-and-destroy KKVs.

                The polygonite injunction against ‘dual-use technologies’ is really, like many of its platforms, an injunction against civilization itself; any good technology is going to be a ‘dual-use’ technology – because the advancement of capital, that which increases potency, is that which increases potency.

      Well, if Musk does not quietly play along (and right now he is being extremely loud) they have to toss their rhetoric of freedom, tolerance, and democracy overboard by publicly telling the richest man in the world to impose silence.

      The rhetoric was always a lie from the beginning. It is absolutely inherent in the nature of the state that there is always a state religion, doubt gets silenced, people are compelled to affirm state truth. It has always been this way and will always be this way, but it is relatively harmless when official truth sticks to unfalsifiable claims as it did centuries ago. Problem when the state imposes faith on matters falsifiable and blatantly false:

      The jab is safe and effective, and it is a complete mystery who so many young healthy athletic people are suddenly dropping down dead in public. Also the jabbed are not continually getting one long lasting covid infection after another and spreading it around. It is the unvaccinated who are getting covid, the unvaccinated I tell you. It is effectve. Effective. Effective. Russian aggression. 🙃

      Problem is that Musk hopes to make our officially unofficial state religion live up to its lies. This is normality bias. He would have an easier time flying to Mars without a rocket. The only cure is to replace the state religion with one less intrusive and homicidal – for example 1810 official Christianity. Even Talibanic Islam is more tolerant than liberal democracy, because you can tell the truth about this world.

        Indeed. I didn’t want to dump on Elon for this fine act, but he may have fucked himself by revealing it. There’s a strong belief by a lot of the factions completing for power that Starlink and SpaceX would much better if a strong African Warrior woman was put in charge of it instead of Musk.

        • Kunning Druegger says:

          It is highly unlikely that one of /ourguys/, fully steeped and indoctrinated, is going to suddenly ascend. More likely, some edgy or outsider normie will try to build something on a foundation he blindly believes exists (but does not), and after it collapses or gets destroyed, will be driven by spite or vengeance into our fold.

          So let Musk think he can restore something that doesn’t exist. The pain of that disappointment will make him more receptive to the jagged red pill.

          ”There’s a strong belief by a lot of the factions completing for power that Starlink and SpaceX would much better if a strong African Warrior woman was put in charge of it instead of Musk.”

          Do that, and the US military loses control of outer space (before Elon, the ULA could barely launch a few launches a year, and was heavily reliant on Russian rocket engines for its expendable launch vehicles. All US military and a tiny handful of US commercial satellites were handmade bespoke billion dollar creations).

          And after that, the US military is over as a power that anyone will take seriously.

        Hang on. Normality bias said that Visa and Mastercard would set up their own P2P money transfer website, that electric cars would never work well, and that more-affordable space transport was impossible.

        Mind reading people 1-2SD smarter is a fool’s hobby, but who here thinks Elon really is as politically square and normie as he says he is? I just can’t believe that myself.

        But it could also be — and this is effectively the argument that some make that Jimmism is Death when it comes to hope and motivation — that only by being as naively normie as Elon appears to be, would he have ever bothered to try so damn hard to accomplish so many things in this actual IRL world, if everything he ever built was destined to be a street shitting safe space for negroes.

        Your assorted thoughts and takes please.

        • jim says:

          You are arguing that if he is smart enough to accomplish what he has accomplished, he is smart enough to accurately assess Cathedral reaction.

          Let us suppose he has assessed Cathedral reaction. In that case FreezePeach is unlikely to return to Twitter, because attempting to return it would be suicidal. And the censorship of Musk’s “misinformation” about Pelosi’s beard suggests he has assessed the likely response to FreezePeach as Elon gets Epsteined.

          In which case what is the plan? Spending forty billion to by something that is going to belong to the Very Holy Priesthood?

          Looks to me that when he twittered on Pelosi’s beard he was thinking he could do FreezePeach. When that tweet vanished, he was re-assessing.

          • Mister Grumpus says:

            Your argument of course makes sense, but there’s also the Poker Face Gambit of saying something obviously true and daring your opponent to pounce on it anyway.

            It’s the “4D Chess” pattern that many of us hopefully projected/hallucinated onto Trump’s words and actions (and look how that worked out, whimper).

            Can only naïveté move mountains? Many have argued this.

          • Mister Grumpus says:

            Elon is still kind of a con guy. He says stuff will happen that doesn’t happen, at least not when he said it would. Solar City went flat, and that Tesla Semi still smells fishy to me, but we’ll see. So he knows how to bullshit the masses to get what he wants, and I prefer him that way.

            He also said that buying Twitter was an “accelerant” to creating “X, the Everything App”, which I’ll just hope (in Saint Star Prophet Elonanon) will be something quite like Jim’s Crypto Comm’s and Payment System, with apps and virtual machines too or something.

            To really pull that off, though, he’d probably need his own global space-based P2P internet ISP, oh wait right.

            Which is to say that buying Twitter would just be for the Rolodex, so as to auto-generate X accounts for Everyone Who Matters. Embrace and Extend, after all.

            • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

              Gimmicks like DeSo are advertising themselves under his tweets; there’s no way he is not at least aware of the concept.

          • Mister Grumpus says:

            Closing this out:

            @Jim:
            “In which case what is the plan? Spending forty billion to buy something that is going to belong to the Very Holy Priesthood?”

            Most likely, he’s a certain kind of automatically naive, and really doesn’t get the Cathedral thing yet. That he really is playing it straight. And crucially, that if he wasn’t Cathedral-wise, he’d never have knocked himself out for 30-40 straight years to accomplish and build what he has so far.

            And less likely, he’s smarter than all of us, and is on a straight-faced crypto-based suicide mission to build up humanity’s great escape plan around AI domination (Neuralink), around Bronze Age Communication Collapse (Starlink), and to a backup planet a safe enough distance away from Shaniqua (SpaceX).

            Like Qanon at first and Trump’s Rubicon, the latter take is the much better story. Just how this Twitter thing goes down (over multiple years, people), and whether Elon’s Hypercrypto WeChat Clone app includes enough Jimmy Architecture to do what it needs to do, will tell us everything we need to know.

His fall from the state of grace into the emptiness of the materialist trap can be charted not only through his extensive catalog, but the progression of his career. It is hard to find someone more widely known, widely appreciated, and unrewarded. Bazan has a simple style that has wide appeal, but hidden within the uncomplicated arrangements is a skill that far surpasses many popular acts within and adjacent to the same genre and beyond. He is the king of the Pacific Northwest underground music scene, and that is not a compliment.

    Trump Junior down in Brazil managed to lose today to a guy who has like an 85 IQ and just got out of prison for massive corruption.

    10,000 fucking motorcycle assassins driving around Brazil and Bolsonaro was too fucking cowardly to do what he needed to do.

    Unbelievable.

    It’s either time for Bolsonaro to man up or time for him to flee the country. I wonder which he’ll choose. He’s a dead man if he lets Lula take power.

    • Red says:

      I knew Bolsonaro was a dead man when he did nothing after they rigged the initial vote. In the past you could quietly walk away when they fucked you over, but those days are over. You either kill or be killed.

      It should have been obvious that votes do not matter any more. But the historical record is that people keep falling for normality bias for a very long time.

    • The Cominator says:

      Bolsonaro tried to callout the army way back when the left locked the country down, unlike Trump he knew Covid was bullshit immediately but his situation was actually far worse given that the supreme court there was not even occasionally on his side…

      The army wouldn’t help him either when he tried to prevent the lockdowns (at least according to BAP)… the only option Bolsonaro had was to call people out into the streets and perhaps try to split the army ie to literally cause a hot civil war… this may have been an option when Trump was in office but it certainly wasn’t afterwords.

    • Red says:

      Sounds like the military is moving out to ensure he’s powerless.

      To rule these days you need dangerous men ready to kill at your command. Trump had those men, but fail to cultivate them in favor of cutting a deal with the establishment.

      • The Cominator says:

        Yes this is why I feel worse for Bolsonarno… Bolsonarno tried to cultivate the armed men he was an officer himself. But they got bought off by foreign glownagger and chinese money and there wasn’t much Bolsonarno could do about it he could have tried to mobilize people in the streets but with zero institutional support that is very hard.

            Putin wants to resolve the conflict by negotiation, where the west agrees to a multipolar world, to the peace of westphalia. And similarly Trump and the rest sought and seek to cut a deal.

            This is and was normality bias. He is attempting to negotiate with those possessed by demons. This is a holy war, the armies of Christ versus the armies of Satan.

            Apti Alaudinov is the leadership style and approach that is going to be needed to win.

            If they are not in fact possessed by demons, they are nonetheless not agreement capable, in which case they might as well be possessed by demons.

            https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russia-in-holy-war-in-ukraine-against-satanic-west-lgbt-commander/ar-AAZGesb

            Our enemies are accurately modeled as possessed by demons, and that is how the matter is going to be resolved. Whether demons are real or not, it will end as if demons are real and will have to be fought as if demons are real. In the end, it will likely be win or die. I had high hopes that the matter could be resolved less bloodily, but it looks like in the end survival is going to require slaughtering our enemies and taking possession of their women.

            Things have not come to that yet. Perhaps they will not come to that. But it was obvious before the 2020 election that an honest election would require armed men and blood in the streets. It is now obvious that it will require armed men who believe that they are fighting for Jesus Christ against the armies of Satan.

            Normal is over. It has been over for quite a while, but the illusion has not yet been dispelled. Holy war began in 2014, people just have not realized it yet. They will, though it may take a while.

        We will continue to be let down so long as these “leaders” make it their whole identity to return to normalcy. Wanting to set the clock back could theoretically work, but none of them seems to understand how far back it would have to go. I think these half-assed attempts will continue until some potential leader explicitly states that they wish to alter the fundamentals of the country. The left does this with impunity, and acts violently at whim. The right refuses to countenance violence, insists on “working together” with their adversaries, and cannot conceive of their idealized nation being lost.

        I was speaking with a retired military man, talking about many topics, topical and historical, and the 2020 election came up. I said that Pence and Barr were traitors to conservatism, and he was completely miffed. That thought train proceeded to IVI, and I asserted that Trump had everything he needed at his disposal except for the will and courage to use it. This guy looked at me and said, with deep conviction, “but that would have lead to violence, and Americans would die.” Yes, Gen. Boomer, that’s where we are at. Those are the stakes.

      I don’t know how countries keep falling for these color revolutions again and again. What is the most practical way to harden a country against this and/or defeat one in progress?

      • jim says:

        If you have a color revolution, you have enemy entryists in the cops, judiciary and the like. I recall the Hong protesters closing down a major road. Something like half a dozen protesters, and a horde of cops protecting them from being run over by the drivers. Similarly, Hong Kong airport. A riot supposedly closed down the airport. Actually the CEO of Cathay air closed down the airport and organized some rioters as cover.

        If you have a color revolution, you have entryists and shills in power in your country. These people are partly motivated by ideology, but they are also motivated by money and a pleasant retirement in the south of France or Martha’s vineyard. We saw that when Russia was dropped out of Swift. Suddenly there was a mass exodus of agents of western influence, who when leaving burned their bridges by stealing everything not nailed down.

        So, the obvious solution would be to follow the money, then round them all up and shoot them.

        Scrutinize the state and quasi state apparatus for people with odd connections, odd travel patterns, and mysterious sources of wealth. And kill them. Kill them extrajudicially, because you cannot rely on judicial process or imprisonment.

        Looking back over the past several thousand years, a state faith with a good shill test against enemy entryists works strangely well. Syria resisted color revolution successfully by the elite having faith in Alawism, rendering it impossible for Harvard and the State Department to get inside. But, as we saw with Russia, it is also a matter of money and incentives.

            A color revolution is distinguished by foreign money and foreign connections to your local elite.

(for example, I’ve been able to read most of Sunshine Mary’s blog, even thought the point I heard about it was after the bog was taken down.)

              If you wouldn’t mind, can you grab some obscure link and go through the process at archive.ph and watch it do its thing? When you hit “save” it goes to a page and a bunch of “stuff” happens on the screen. My limited understanding of TCP/IP stuff doesn’t really empower me to know what’s going on, but it seems like it is actually saving a snapshot of the page and storing it. I may be wrong on that, and if that site is not worthy, let me know and I’ll find a better one. greatly appreciate any assistance/guidance/recommendations.

              >Why does archive.is not obey robots.txt?
              Because it is not a free-walking crawler, it saves only one page acting as a direct agent of the human user. Such services don’t obey robots.txt (e.g. Google Feedfetcher, screenshot- or pdf-making services, isup.me, …)

              >What software do you run and how data is stored ?
              The archive runs Apache Hadoop and Apache Accumulo. All data is stored on HDFS, textual content is duplicated 3 times among servers in different datacenters and images are duplicated 2 times. All datacenters are in Europe.

        Yes I wasn’t talking about the cruise ships initially I was talking about the South Korean data + to the extent its lethal to old or sick people even then the Koreans found that Cloroquine basically nuked the lethality of the virus.

      • Mister Grumpus says:

        Why would anyone like to hear that? But we can tell now that it was true. Just the right speech and tweet, early enough, just might have done the trick. But what, when and how?

        In fact, it would be a good exercise, here, to compare “fantasy fictions” of how Trump could have called bullshit on Covid and actually made it stick, rather than just having gotten Jan-6’ed earlier on. And that will lead to arguments about whether he even cared enough to do so, even if he had known what would work.

        (Or maybe it’s pointless since the Cathedral rules outright now, so what does it matter?)

        But plenty of guys here smelled it was a political attack quite early, and out in meatspace DeSantis got the picture pretty quick too and obviously acted accordingly. I’m still dumbfounded that they apparently didn’t talk more.

        Covid was pretty much the perfect attack vector on a Germophobe like Trump. It also had the novelty of never having been tried before.

          It wasn’t hard at all. All you had to do was look at who was dying. It was clear by early April 2020 that only the very old, the very sick, and the very obese were dying.

          To this day, the average age of a Covid death is around 80.

          80.

      For me it was reading thezman.com’s blog on a regular basis back in Jan/Feb 2020. He didn’t say much about South Korea IIRC just did a comparison with other historical pandemics like the Spanish Flu. Even the inaccurate early data showing a 3% mortality rate was not nearly on par with the lethality of the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918. That flu outbreak did not end the human race and didn’t even put much of a dent in it. So the Wu-Flu wasn’t gonna destroy human civilization either.

      • ten says:

        Pretty long distance between “total bullshit” and “won’t destroy human civilization”. The people who actually feared for a seriously disastrous pandemic were idiots, it was entirely obvious it was no spanish flu. I argued with TC back then that caution is better than recklessnesss, perhaps i had some good reasons, but he was right. Only useful thing caution could have led to would be containment, and nothing happened until way too late for that, and China actively made sure there could be no containment and no caution.

        Sweden eventually cucked, but the first year, our incompetent socialist overlords held absolutely firm that “everyone else in the world is wrong, we alone are right, we will do absolutely nothing about covid, maybe dont kiss strangers idk. go party”.

        If the cuckright coalition held the government in that year, Sweden could not have done this, because the left wing would have thrown a hissy fit, with zog support (i know, i know, cathedral, but ’tis the season to be anti-semetic).

        So. Could Trump actually have done it? What would the repercussions be? They are already pretending he personally murdered 1 lollion americans. I don’t know how things work over there, but our cuckright can’t get away with leaving the toilet seat up, while the left openly sodomizes toddlers on cocaine binges and adopts children with their convicted pederast boyfriends for at-home gay pedo 24/7 chemsex rapefests while essentially unable to communicate in written language and holding high office.

        Wouldn’t they have won through non stop media “orange rich man laughs in golf as everyone dies, doesn’t care, he killed grandma” while they actively make sure grandma actually dies with covid? I don’t know if i’m asking rhetorical questions or not. Looks to me like a rock and a hard place and i don’t see Trumps way out. He did the vaccine saviour thing which is cringe as fuck. What else could he have done that wouldn’t leave him wide open to the dead grandma attack?

      Not that early but it seemed quite obvious it was malicious nonsense once the Floyd peaceful protests got going.

    • Your Uncle Bob says:

      It’s not that I knew it wasn’t so bad early, but I knew something was up early from the quarantine of cruise ships but refusing to stop international flights, from the early “hug a chink” campaign against racist refusal to catch illness, from the early flip-flop on masks, with authorities first telling us “don’t wear masks, they do nothing for amateurs” (a “noble lie” to prevent a shortage for health care workers but still a lie) to “mask under penalty of law.”

      Early on I still thought it could be the big one, and I hadn’t caught on to those first Chinese videos of people collapsing in the streets being faked for propaganda, but I was primed to question everything official. Because I already knew they were lying, and I already knew they were playing politics with it. So when mortality data by age became available, and information about hydroxychloroquine became available I went down the rabbit hole pretty quick. I don’t even remember exactly when that was though.

  41. i says:

    Reposting a link to a good book to concur with comments last time:

    In Making Dystopia, distinguished architectural historian James Stevens Curl tells the story of the advent of architectural Modernism in the aftermath of the First World War, its protagonists, and its astonishing, almost global acceptance after 1945. He argues forcefully that the triumph of architectural Modernism in the second half of the twentieth century led to massive destruction, the creation of alien urban landscapes, and a huge waste of resources.

    Moreover, the coming of Modernism was not an inevitable, seamless evolution, as many have insisted, but a massive, unparalled disruption that demanded a clean slate and the elimination of all ornament, decoration, and choice.

    Tracing the effects of the Modernist revolution in architecture to the present, Stevens Curl argues that, with each passing year, so-called “iconic” architecture by supposed “star” architects has become more and more bizarre, unsettling, and expensive, ignoring established contexts and proving to be stratospherically remote from the aspirations and needs of humanity.

    In the elite world of contemporary architecture, form increasingly follows finance, and in a society in which the ‘haves’ have more and more, and the “have-nots”are ever more marginalized, he warns that contemporary architecture continues to stack up huge potential problems for the future, as housing costs spiral out of control, resources are squandered on architectural bling, and society fractures.

  43. Pax Imperialis says:

    A ruler/ruling-class provides security for capitalist to make capital. It’s hard to do business if some viking walks into your village and pillages the chickens. In exchange, he/they helps himself/themselves to a SMALL portion of capital that others create. Since the process of creating security is nonnegotiable and by definition must encompass all people in a territory for security to exist, the existence of taxes must be nonnegotiable as well (however specific rates should be very negotiable). Nonnegotiable existence of tax in exchange for nonnegotiable security. A fair bargain.

    Nancy Pelosi is not criminal because she helps herself to the capital other creates. She is a criminal, along with most of our ruling class, because she provides no security in exchange for the capital she takes. At best that would be theft if she did nothing else but take; however, she also actively undermines existing security by providing political protection to thugs who burn and attack the very people she takes capital from. That is worse then just theft, that is outright pillaging. Nonnegotiable pillaging in exchange for nonnegotiable insecurity. An unfair bargain to put it lightly.

    Now compare the portion that our government takes in comparison to the kings of yore. The US sits at 28% overall tax rate (tax revenue as % of GDP) which, as high as it is, is somehow on the low end for western democracies. Many are near or above 40%. Historical Monarchs tended to stay under 5% for fear of becoming a head shorter. Modern monarchies are similarly much lower then their modern democratic counterparts taxing around 10% overall. Yet these modern monarchies operating on 1/4 of the tax rate provide better security. For all the problems the Saudi’s have, they have about 1/5 the homicide rate compared to America.

    Nancy Pelosi and company are immensely wealthy because they control a government that takes an tremendously large portion of others capital on both historical and contemporary comparison.

    Consider that tyranny is a form of regime that historically did provide security but at an unreasonable high tax rate. Revolts over taxes being too high were far more common than revolts over the king not providing security. What we have today is worse than tyranny, and it’s so outside of the historical norm we appear to have no colloquial word for it. People are having to invent new terms like anarcho-tyranny (1992?) to describe what is going on.

    • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

      Desire for greater tribute requires greater apparatus of enforcement to extract tribute, which in turn requires more tribute, which in turn requires yet more intrusive enforcement…

      The true upper end of the laffer curve is defined by this asymptotic jump-off point, where the protection racket magically transforms from providing security of property, to a race towards towards its complete abolishment; from a mandatory of its clients, to the very peril of its victims.

      The privileges of peons were lionized over the privileges of lords, since the peons were a lot less dangerous to the taxman. And naturally, in due course the privileges of peons were successively dissolved in turn. The progressive deconstruction of any and every means of social organization, tradition, and or potency facilitating super-structures in general, *except for deconstructor’s own*, is the story of modernity.

      Banks and insurance companies are tentacles of the regulatory state. Banks and insurance companies were originally capitalist institutions, which by small degrees became assimilated to the state.

      Real estate, it is complicated. The owners of real estate are almost always capitalists, but there exists a vast apparatus for skimming the cream from real estate, that is to varying degrees capitalist, and to varying degrees regulatory. If you want to build something, you automatically get enmeshed in the regulatory state. It always winds up being a quasi statal enterprise.

And that’s just on the state or local level.

Have you just never bought anything besides candy bars? A simple mortgage contract is scores of pages with endless little payoffs and agreements that funnel money every which way but to the seller and from the buyer. No capitalist at any point on any timeline was like “You know what? Let’s include as many unrelated entities and people as possible in our business! That way, we can pay more to get less!” Whatever capitalists remain in the “””businesses””” you listed are literal hostages trapped in a Pay To Play prison. HR controls every major business.

                  Red Dawn was the movie that got John Millis black listed from Holiwood. Russians invade the US and a bunch of highschool kids fight back against the occupation. Huge hit but the Jews turned against Millis over it. Millis use to be friends with people like Lucas and Spielberg, they all went to college together. They fucked him over in a hot second after that film because they felt it supported Regan’s view of the Soviets.

                  It’s not a great film, but it’s a very anti communist film.

                  Starship Troopers the book was in some ways a neoreactionary precursor arguing for a republic ruled by military elite, corporal punishment of delinquents to repeal moral decline, and extermination of communists.

                  Starship troopers was reactionary in that people reacted well to the idea of military rule and good aesthetics.

                  The premise of the book and the movie was that violence ultimately defined all of human interactions which is true, but also too simple. Reproduction and violence from group cohesion via religion is more important than just simple violence.

                  Verhoeven spent his life making films supposed mocking the right, while people reacted to those “mockings” as man, I’d like that shit to really happen. The girl power shit is pervasive in all entertainment.

                  The movie established a aesthetic and hardness that people responded very well too. A lot of the early Pol stuff was just rip offs from the film. Bravery, comradeship, warriors as the heroes, you can’t make movies like that in Hollywood without framing them as satire.

                The only good lyrics Dylan ever had are the ones he cribbed from the amerikaner folkways he leeched off of in the first place. His guitar play could charitably be described as ‘serviceable’, and his singing voice couldn’t. Be charitably described that is.

                He was, in objective terms, a street busker placed on a pedestal by the hand of power. The whole 60s ‘folk revival’ to begin with was one of the most obvious psyops the old regime ever pulled, dressing up communist urbanites in the rags of native sons. Bob Dylan was on stage playing for MLK at the ‘march on washington’, it’s hard to get more blatant than that.

                • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

                  When the Megaphone announced a ‘revival’, it was so oft pretty much code for ‘kill the genuine article and replace it with a chimaera wearing its skin as a trophy’.

                  For example, the ‘Rural Purge’. Media that participated in the uniquely American incipient mythology of The West was hugely, massively popular. If Hollywood, as a synecdoche for media making in the US in general, was ‘merely’ a for-profit business concerned with nothing but making it rain, then not only would it not drop the Western aesthetic, it would have continued milking it for all it’s worth.

                  And yet, a decision was handed down from on high, and all toed the new party line; Amerikaner mythology is out, ‘urban hip’ media is in, *regardless of the fact* that noone was asking for it and they would lose money in the process. Because ultimately their greatest concern wasn’t money, but serving a social objective: further de-construction of the social organism known as America, thus leaving it further vulnerable to depredations by the same.

                  In fact, the suddenly total absence of supply for such a huge demand left such a huge vacuum, that it ended up sucking in the bootstrap movie industry of an entirely different county thousands of miles away – thus the birth of ‘spaghetti westerns’. (Though fair play, men like Morricone were geniuses in their own right.)

                  It obviously wasn’t obvious. It’s the most successful psychological operation ever. Boomers and Generation X remain true believers to this day. That wouldn’t be true if it had been obvious. Psychological operations are measured by their success, so it must be the greatest.

                  How many people in the PPE (pre-/pol/-era) knew that MLK didn’t write his own speeches, that they were all written by a Jew?

                  Soros is government funded to commit government sponsored crimes. You cannot call out Soros misdeeds, so you are government funded, and are likely a Jewish Soros employee

                  Soros was funded by the state department to overthrow foreign governments, to fund antifa and BLM,to install prosecutors who would not prosecute crimes by antifa and BLM, and who would prosecute those like Kyle, who attempted to defend themselves against antifa and BLM.

                  Soros was government funded from the beginning. He was originally employed by the Nazis to rat out other Jews, and was paid in trinkets confiscated from those Jews, German money having become worthless.

                  During the time of fixed exchange rates, he would be informed by western governments in advance of a forthcoming change in exchange rates.

                  When fixed exchange rates ended, a different method of laundering money into his hands (and thus into your hands) was applied. He would buy up the worthless third world debt of a bankrupt third world country, and then the World Bank, aka the US taxpayer, would make it worth something.

                  Soros is a government money laundry to fund “non government” activities.

              • Neofugue says:

                There are competent Jews in all the various visual and aural arts capable of producing effective work to a high standard. The allegation that Jews lack visual aesthetic sense is not an assertion that Jews are not capable of understanding an “aesthetic theory;” however, aside from a few exceptions, Jews do not possess a spiritual understanding of aesthetic universals, Adorno as an example.

                In my experience, Jews do not seem to mind surrounding themselves with decadent art and music because they are not conscious of aesthetic universals. To them, an art work enclosed in itself is worthless; the validity of art is dependent on a related value system (Wahrheitsgehalt). Thus, the modern structural abomination is as valid as Gothic architecture, Pollock is just as valid as Hieronymus Bosch, and Schoenberg is just as valid as Tchaikovsky.

                However, it should be noted that this lacking of visual aesthetic sense is not limited solely to the Jews, nor does it apply to Jews as a whole. Berlioz was the first contemporary classical composer, with his “Symphonie Fantastique” the first modern classical abomination. While I understand Wagner’s allegations against Meyerbeer, I disagree with his admonition of Mendelssohn Lieder ohne Worte is one of my favorite piano works. Upon reflection, the Jews lacking a visual aesthetic sense may simply be the result of spiritual corruption and not the product of a genetic predisposition, Adorno as an example.

                  Very dumb, yet while Abbo art and music is primitive and crude. You can see the beginnings of something higher and beautiful (in another 1,000 years of evolution). It’s not purposely ugly.

                  Jews are far smarter than Abbos yet their art and music can be far more ugly if not outright disgusting.

            When one builds something, one wants it to have sale value. A substantial part of the value of the building is the status it implies and supports for its occupants, and the propensity of high status people to hang out in its neighborhood. Obviously an ugly building is likely to have lower sale value because it lowers the status of its occupants (as for example Pelosi’s beard’s mansion) and because people of quality do not want to live near it, thus lowering the value of its location.

            When someone builds an ugly building, he is leaving money on the table, just as Disney left money on the table by destroying star wars (as for example replacing the manly Hans Solo with the limp wristed pussy whipped Hans Soyboy) and Marvel left money on the table by destroying Marvel comics, as for example Tranny Thor.

When the user and buyer are not the same person. A conventional example would be when the users are corporate peons but the buyer is an executive who will never touch the tool itself.

              It also fails to account for all the big companies being owned and controlled by the same people, who maximize long-term shareholder value in part by stifling upstart competitors in the cradle, even if that means a lower short-term return on investment.

                  Good point. It is difficult enough to get a building permit for an ugly office building, getting a permit for a beautiful office building would be much harder, perhaps impossible (of course, a lot depends on jurisdiction), but no permits are needed for internal decoration of offices.

                  Corporations are public. That makes it difficult for a CEO to decorate the inside of a building according to his taste, but even offices of small businesses that are owned by a small group of people that all work there are usually not beautiful, although these people are rather free to decorate according to their tastes.

                  My guess is that many people simply lack taste or have no taste at all and simply buy whatever is fashionable.

                  Which is everyone’s famous or infamous example of the priestly elite taking over a foundation and applying it for purposes wildly and radically opposed to the purposes and politics of the founder and the economic interests of his family.

                  The Rockefeller foundation is classic demonstration of the supremacy of theocratic power, of the quasi statal elite of Harvard kicking the asses of the capitalist elite.

                  Jews, such as Rockefeller, are moderately over-represented in the capitalist elite, but massively over-represented in the Harvard elite.

        • Pax Imperialis says:

          Hi Karl, I seem to remember you were European and not American. The term ‘The West’ is a term that can mean Europe and America. But in America the ‘West’ can more often mean Western America which was also known as the Wild West. Most of those who set out to settle the frontiers were men between 1870s and early 1900s. The frontier was considered gone by 1905.

          The gender imbalance averaged around a plus 20% skew of more men than women during that time, but in most mining towns you’re looking at nearly 100% male populations. The big reason to go to the West in the early days were for economic reasons. Lumber jobs, mining jobs, cattle jobs, etc. All jobs that were male only. Pretty much the only women that went West were either following family or prostitutes. Young single men looking to make money vastly out numbered married men, hence the gender imbalance.

          If a woman is in an area where there is an extreme shortage of women, they sometimes assume that all the men will be desperate. Is it not logical to then extract as much value out of those desperate men as possible? Women will marry simps if that’s all that’s available. Guess how that turns out.

          Also consider shit testing appears to be pathological in some women to the extent there is the Karen stereotype. Women will behave in a shit testing manor to other women.

    • Kunning Drueger says:

      I’m not really buying this argument for ghettos as a sewage system, at least not as some kind of simple solution. Waste requires processing. If it’s simple waste, get it to where it will actually help instead of contaminate or moulder. If it’s complex waste, it needs to be broken down, sorted, then applied where useful. If the raw inputs are good, the raw outputs will be almost wholly useful. Our society feeds dogs and cats grain and fish parts mashed into a slurry, baked, then formed into kibble. It is a minimally nutritious feed, and it shows in fair to poor animal health. Their waste is minimally useful and does not do a lot as fertilizer. So burning it or letting it moulder and break down is a better option than using it as fertilizer. So the first objective should be better inputs, and the second is to decide what to use and what to burn.

      If a system is small, with a low gross total amount of waste and a consistently small amount introduced over time, you can just collect it in a predetermined position and let time do its thing, like a compost heap or slit trench. But if gross total is high and/or frequency is high, this mouldering method is a bad idea that will result in a disgusting area that will grow, teaming with unbalanced bacteria and terrible odor. So if high amount/frequency, the process must be active and regimented, putting velocity into the system and requiring additives and management.

      Every method of waste processing will have a remainder that is basically unusable or worthless, and just needs to be burned off. An informed and holistic approach should get this remainder to a small amount that’s dealt with in a single step. If your waste system just keeps filling up and requires an expensive and messy intervention once it breaches some threshold of tolerability, it is either poorly designed, poorly managed, or both.

      The ghetto system is a slit trench. Minimal effort is put into the “trench,” and waste is just dumped in and forgotten. The waste will build up and inevitably spread, negatively impacting everything around it and requiring a costly and complicated intervention every generation or so, maybe more or maybe less, and runs the risk of generating a blight or profusion of pathology (ies) that can spread due to incompetence or negligence or bad luck. So it needs to be better designed and managed if you want it to work.

      …but wait! This sounds like a bunch of priestly babble, some scheme intended to create a bunch of holy Waste Managers! KD is a fucking red faggot!

      Yes, there is an inherent danger of spontaneous or intentional cargo cultism in dealing with the waste byproducts of society and civilization. You can see an analog of this in people sorting their recycling without even knowing what is actually recycled, or whether it all just goes to the landfill anyways. So actual engineering and understanding has to be a part of the process. There needs to be clear simple guidance about what gets “burned,” what gets used as “fertilizer” via conscription or hard labor, what gets “collected and processed” for use elsewhere, and what can be left to “moulder and decay” on it’s own, acting as a catalyst or additive to the overall “waste management system.”

      Dumping the dregs of society into a single place to become concentrated filth, just waiting for latent properties to react with each other in unexpected or poorly understood ways is both dumb and lazy. Dumb because it’s been tried before (with obvious detrimental outcomes), and lazy because there’s already been a ton of work put into figuring out what types of people have potential, what types of organization and culture have value, and which ways of living are better or worse.

        Not seeing these detrimental outcomes. What places and times do you have in mind?

        Also, I am a fan of trench system for disposing of human feces. Every day you dig the trench a little bit further, and toss the dirt on top of the feces in the older part of the trench, before the maggots have had time to hatch. The problem is that you cannot combine that system with privacy, but works when you have room enough that you do not need privacy. Does not work in urban environments, where you need a sewer so that the feces move, rather than continually moving the place where you relieve yourself.

        • Kunning Druegger says:

          A slit trench is great in certain circumstances, but as you pointed out, it must be extended indefinitely (on an infinite timeline). It also has all the waste products that may be needed elsewhere. Carrying the metaphor too far yields diminishing returns, but I think you’ve hit on the key points. As Neuro- points out below, the Slum is a time tested methodology for localizing pernicious elements. By knowing where the slit trench is, you shouldn’t have to worry about finding waste elsewhere. And for certain forms of human waste, this is fine. It’s even better if you have an informed and sophisticated methodology for burning off the “toxic” waste, the stuff that serves no good purpose. But the concentration is the real issue when we talk about cities. A healthy city can probably tolerate some kind of slum district. It serves a valuable function as teaching by example (“you don’t want to end up in CR Town, so eat your steak, do your pushups, and pray, young man”), and it keeps the waste localized. But it is a breeding ground for more than just the natural waste. It is an area to be exploited by the leftists as a prop for decrying injustice. It is brush cover for foreign invaders to set up shop in. And it is a ready made haunt for daemon worshipers and diabolists.

          So the ghetto needs processing, just like a septic system sometimes needs to be evacuated. Realistically, cities after the Restoration will still experience Ups and Downs. We aren’t shilling a utopia, so we must assume that there will be good times and bad times, good leaders and bad leaders, strong generations and weak generations. There needs to be a process in place for “combing” the ghetto and removing the 1 in 1000000 “lost talent” (vanishingly rare and only going to be scooped up incidentally, like an engagement ring flushed down the toilet by the previous occupant) as well as the build up of toxic and/or inorganic detritus.

          As you maintain the slit trench, you cover up the “used up” portion with the “fresh” portion you’re digging up. But you may also want to dig up the covered area and cycle it into your fertilizer.

          The point of all this is that it is not a solution to just blindly dump stuff *and* pretend it no longer exists. You have to dump things in the best place so they break down naturally or get recycled. It just seems like an exploit for jews or criminal illegals or anti-priests. And I don’t think the Slum and the red Light District are the same thing, as in I am not convinced they share the same purpose. Burnham is amazing, and once Chesterton gets invoked on me, I don’t want to push too much further, because Chesterton is always right. But I remain unconvinced that a slum is a necessity. A healthy body excretes waste, it doesn’t keep a sack of waste hanging out inside. So I think the slum will have to be a temporary place, and the human waste has to move through it.

            Not seeing historical examples of this becoming a problem. The point of a ghetto is to prevent what is inside the ghetto from having impact outside. So assorted bad people setting up shop there should have limited impact.

            Stuffing undesirable people and activities into a ghetto limits their impact, lowers their status, and penalizes them.

              I guess my issue is when slums spread. If there’s a hard boundary, an explicit demarcation, that would work. Modern American cities are the inverse; there are pockets of order in a sea of slums.

            Is a solution. As exemplified by the slit trench. Sure, one can easily envisage superior disposal systems, and they are a good thing to have. But, need to have a disposal system.

            • Kunning Druegger says:

              On this, we agree. And I know that processing waste is at the top of no one’s list of things to be involved with, whether it is feces or foreigners. But urea has value, as do bastards, and leaving either to sit and get used to make bombs or battalions is an issue, if a coup complete issue, I will be thinking about.

            • i says:

              I suspect the Lex Talonis model of Justice in the Old Testament serves this function.

              It seems that it stops petty criminals from getting worse since its swift restitution and caning rather than prison where they do get worse.

              But major criminals like murderers were simply killed after trial and death row because that is Just restitution as the victim cannot be raised from the dead.

              Conversely we have sewage treatment plants which processes the waste into garbage, fertilizer from human poop and purified water.

              And even garbage has many useful materials that can be recycled.

              • Red says:

                Criminal justice was pretty based in the Old Testament. Death penalty for offenses that leads to long term bad outcomes and restitution for smaller crimes. Being unable to pay restitution resulted in being sold into slavery for the crime. Petty criminals didn’t last long.

                Though I would guess that most criminal justice was privately dealt out. Numbers implies that a wife cheating on her husband would have resulted in him killing the wife, no formal trial was needed. Only crimes between families or where a patriarch refused to enforce the law required formal trials.

          • Adam says:

            In a high trust white society, the ghettos of today would not exist. Todays ghettos are a symptom of progressivism. To the extent that they would exist in a high trust society, they would be populated by leftists. The crab bucket mentality is a product of scarcity and lack of trust. Once you solve the trust problem you are free to solve the scarcity problem.

            In other words if you are poor and low status in a high trust society, and cannot overcome that, the problem is you.

      • Neurotoxin says:

        Kunning,
        James Burnham, author of The Suicide of the West and a guy who would blend in perfectly in this forum, remarked that every city in the world had a slum. I.e. a place where the dregs could congregate and the authorities would basically leave them alone unless they broke out and started bothering normal people. So there’s a strong Chesterton’s Fence argument here.

        An analogy: We want the world’s various peoples to have their own countries; we want don’t them mixing with each other.

    • Kunning Drueger says:

      so I’ve been having this ongoing conversation with a philosopher friend of mine. here’s how I broke it down to him. obviously, this is all filtered through my midwit perceptions, so don’t be shocked or alarmed if it’s wide of the mark or just plain dumb.

      starting pretty arbitrarily at FDR’s braintrust, you have the first generation of the managerial Elite. for the time they existed in, these were weak-willed cowards who hid behind paperwork while they’re betters went out and actually did things. but comparing them to the managerial Elite of today, they seem like Titans in both intellectuality as well as the physical space. This first generation went about setting things as their earthly god FDR intended… or maybe he was just a figurehead, and there was some other brainiac who was actually behind it all, or maybe it was just a collective, a headless organization of managers dictating their collective will on a society unprepared to even believe they could exist. whatever the case, this first generation basically set the parameters as well as about the highest level of efficacy of the managerial elite.

      The next generation of leaders were the proteges of the first generation. many of them had either combat experience, or war management experience, or just some kind of involvement in WW02, and this defined them in many ways. there is a stupid cathedral movie called The Good Shepherd, and I think it does in unintentionally good job of showing the character of this second generation. this generation worked hard to fulfill the desires of their masters, but they got a taste of the fruit of the Masters’ vision, and already the seeds of what we now take as commonplace decay today were apparent, and I think this caused grave doubts. nonetheless, they strove to complete the good work, and in many cases attempted to fix things or do them better.

      The generation that came up under them, their proteges saw this split mind and perceived it as weakness. so at the first opportunity, they betrayed their masters and took over as quickly and completely as possible. They did this by wrenching. the wheel left or stepping on the acceleration pedal or both. it’s not like they didn’t know how to do other things, but these two things worked very well for a multitude of reasons. so they always reserved these options for their master strokes or guaranteed wins: yank the wheel left, or step on the accelerator pedal, or both. due to the nature of their rise, this generation, being the third, was loath to allow anyone. anyone they deemed intelligent or capable anywhere near themselves. after all, their masters had let them close, and they had capitalized on this error. error. only a fool would make the same mistake. so they made sure to filter out anyone that resembled themselves too much, as well. they sought blind loyalty and the minimum amount of intelligence required. This created the ecological circumstances for the midwit population to explode, and it did. as this generation got older, they found that while they had no end of potential acolytes that fit their requirements, they were increasingly surrounded by incapacity and incompetence. at no point did they think they needed smarter or better quality people, as proteges like that might see them for the foxes that they were, so they just doubled down on everything, and again, the tendency was always to jerk to the left and speed up.

      now this third generation, unusually able to stay in power due to advances in medicine made by previous generations, are watching as the loyal and barely competent proteges they raised up are wrecking everything their forebearers built and intended because they only know how to do two things: yank to the left, and speed up. it always worked for their masters, and they have been steeped in the propaganda that tells them to follow their heart because they are the great and good and their feelings are the most important sentiment of all. This fourth generation of the managerial elite are on a collision course with reality, and the third generation, the den of foxes generation, might just live long enough to see it. to clarify a bit, Hillary Clinton and her cohort are that third generation. you can see it in the way that they must always blame others for their mistakes, that they always must be surrounded by the semblance of youth and vivacity, and that they never seem to be in the company of potential up and comers, just lackies and flunkies and sycophants.

      This comment was dictated to my device, so apologies for any errors or ugliness.

        The Warren court legalizing crime and the destruction of American cities got underway in the late 50s, early 60s, second generation by your system. Then under Clinton the destruction of American cities was rolled back. Leftist judges started enforcing the law, the FBI did some actual criminal justice work instead of just blackmail and political spying, etc. Under Obama all those fixes were rolled back and rolled back hard.

        The intelligence thing is interesting. We’ve seen a huge brain drain as women went to college and gained male levels of status thus smart women stopped reproducing. I’m not exactly clear on when and why the elites stopped admitting smarties to their ranks.

          it is definitely a theory under construction. I make no claim to perfect knowledge or an accurate chronology, but I think the bones of the analysis are sound. A generation, by my personally selected measure, is 20 years. years. I think this is a good chunk of time for both the development of a generation, as well as documenting their period of greatest efficacy. in a more justly ordered world, the competent and their genius leaders should have 40 to 60 years of efficacy. as it stands right now, the managerial Elite seem to get about 20 years to destroy and ruin as much as they can before they have to hand it off to the morons beneath them. on second thought, 10 years may be a better measurement. Anyway, the system defeats itself for the very reasons. St. John describes in his response. put another way, the very thing they need to perpetuate their system is exactly what they’ve decided they need to destroy.

          They were wrestling over the hammer when SFPD arrived. It was a lover’s quarrel that escalated as the consequences came crashing down. Somehow the manwhore gets in, somehow a hammer appears, somehow police are called to the location, and somehow a substantially younger man is wrestling with an 81 year old dotard over a hammer. Preliminary, pre-spin background shows the manwhore is a Gaia extremist. The whole incident reeks of internal struggle accidentally spilling into the public view, not a targeted attack. The manwhore was probably instructed to convey a message, and a spat ensued that escalated to a confrontation, as is so often the case with sodomites. There was probably a screaming mach between the two STD hotels, and a neighbor relished in the opportunity to interfere in a high status neighbor’s business.

            Are you talking about Crimea? She was not a “camp follower” there and nobody ever regarded her as such. She, of course, set up a hospital, and the wounded and sick soldiers went to her, and not her to them.

            What gentlemen? I suspect you cannot name one, so I will help you. Not a single breath of insinuation or scandal was ever breathed about Florence Nightingale and Sidney Herbert.

              You are anachronistic. The modern system of logistics was created after Crimea. Logistics in Crimea was the old system – camp followers, the market, the marketplace, and a horde of civilian contractors following the army around. Colonels and officers of similar rank organized logistics with private contractors, and the people following them around were called camp followers.

              In Crimea, you carried a gun and fought in uniform under direct chain of command, or you were a camp follower. Everyone in the army fought. Everyone who did not fight was not in the army, was a camp follower. No gun, therefore Florence Nightingale was a camp follower. Female camp follower, therefore whore or an officer’s mistress. (Most camp followers were male.) Florence Nightingale was part of logistics, logistics was camp followers, female camp followers were normally expected to perform dual duty.

Florence “Iron Hymen” Nightingale was so pure, she made the Virgin Mary feel self-conscious. Everyone knows that Florence “Spotless Crotch” Nightingale was the true strength behind the men she so selflessly supported. She was actually quite a warrior, as women are far more agile and intelligent and strong, but she was too kind too embarrass the men sho so innocently loved and dutifully supported, and humbly used her holy hands on every member of the military, making friends handily with each little soldier as she worked her way through the wounded and weary. Florence “Ruddy Rosebud” Nightingale was the picture of female virtue, purity, and wizened chastity. Her legend is the hot glue that made an airtight seal between the noble women who serve the service and the men that rely on that perfectly virtuous participation.

            Here’s how some of them would react to liking hotdogs.

            ‘Eww! You like hotdogs! All that animal fat and mystery meat. Don’t you know it’s bad for you? What are you, some kind of white trash (read pleb)?’

            The last question isn’t explicitly said out loud, but it shows in the body language and they do joke about it in private.

            Now think about what hotdogs are typically associated with. 4th of July (pleb holiday), watching the baseball game in the stands (pleb sport), street food (if you said cuisine that so gauche, you’re an uppity pleb). Did I get the point across that hotdogs are considered low class?

            So what does a politician from an upper middle class background do to seem relatable. ‘Hey! I’m eating a hotdog. I’m just like you plebs!’ Hence all of those hotdog eating photo ops. Or corndog if you’re trying to appeal to those Midwestern plebs.

            Now pizza on the other hand… you don’t see nearly as many official pr stunts involving that, and the upper middle class has no strong opinions on pizza either.

          You might be on to something with the depression era… keep in mind Bloomberg and Pelosi are on the tail end of Silent Generation.

          My great grandmother grew up in the depression era. One of the stories she often told me was the luxury of ice cream for a nickle. How all the kids from well off families would always excitedly run when the opportunity for ice cream presented itself. To give an idea of how insane it was to spend a nickle for ice cream, you could get an entire meal for a man at New York restaurant prices for a dime.

          Now keep in mind the older generations would have likely heard those types of stories often while growing up.

          When my grandfather died, he was late 80s in mid 2010s not too far from Pelosi in age, I had to help my father clean out my grandfather’s rented storage space. It was at a motor home park my grandparents would stop at every so often. They traveled America year long. My father and I found a fully stocked refrigerator full of ice cream. The man loved ice cream, but to the point he would even fully stock an entire refrigerator full of it at a location he was hundreds of miles away for most of the year was… mind boggling.

          You might think the man was insane or stupid if you didn’t know him, but he was very sharp, even in old age, and had graduated in the top half at West Point in the 1950s when average officer IQ was mid 130s. If he didn’t almost fail the physical requirements he would have been near the top overall. Main reason the Army kept him and ignored his physical performance was because he was very intelligent.

          I think ice cream for him was sort of an emotional piece of Americana similar to Coca Cola and Zippo lighters. A sign of how prosperous Americans had become, so a refrigerator full of ice cream you never eat isn’t strange in that context. It’s sort of like saying, ‘hey look, times are so good and I’m so well off that I can afford a refrigerator full of ice cream!’ It’s emotional economic security.

          So Pelosi’s behavior with the ice cream isn’t so strange within generational context. It’s saying ‘hey, this pandemic isn’t bad. We Americans are so prosperous just look at all this ice cream!’ But the economic effects of the shut down were bad, so Pelosi doing that stunt should be interpreted in the same was as if Marie Antoinette said during a famine “Let them eat cake.” Now Antoinette never said that. It was propaganda. That Pelosi would unironically say something similar… well it didn’t matter since most Americans are not old enough to understand what was being said.

          Basically Pelosi and Bloomberg are modern Antoinettes if all the anti-Antoinette propaganda was true.
