Fixing housing, health, and education.

Housing, health, and education are unaffordable. So people think something must be done, and punishing the rich sounds like something. Hence Sanders.

Housing

Getting stuff zoned for building houses is basically illegal, and when you somehow bribe and litigate enough bureaucrats to get houses built, tends to be overrun by inferior races who make the housing very cheap by driving out whites – typically around a quarter of the cost of building stuff, so if you build, you lose your shirt and are underwater on your mortgage when you flee ethnic cleansing.

Reconquer these zones, and the price of housing should fall substantially, both because humans can move back into areas overrun by plains apes (gentrification) and because investors will have confidence they can build houses and not lose money.

That building houses is pretty much illegal is a special case of the problem that building anything tends to be illegal. Bureaucrats like to subdivide power into ever smaller bite sized chunks, so pretty soon, to get anything done, you need the OK of umpteen bureaucrats, each of whom wants a bribe of a substantial part of the added value – so the total squeeze will far exceed the added vale.

The solution is to gate many no men through one yes man. For any project there should be one bureaucrat who has the power to say yes, and the power to blow off a thousand bureaucrats saying no.

Reconquer unsafe areas, and make it legal to build stuff. Price of housing will fall radically.

Health

You will notice that in America, you can pay for surgery for your dog by swiping your credit card, while the same surgery for a human costs the price of a big house in a nice neighborhood plus a really nice car. So it has to be paid by absurdly expensive insurance.

Well, in India, Singapore, and Thailand, you can, and usually do, pay for that surgery by swiping your credit card.

Free market healthcare, healthcare for the rich in India, for the middle class in Singapore, and for the well off in Thailand, is simply affordable, in the sense that you can pay for pretty much any medical procedure using your credit card without exceeding your credit card limit – or at least without exceeding my credit card limit.

Nominally free market healthcare gets expensive because of cross subsidies. A hospital has a thousand NAMs show up who will not pay their bills, gives them abortions and diabetes treatment, then one white man shows up with an ear infection that needs a course of antibiotics, and hits him with a hundred thousand dollar bill. Indian healthcare is cheap for white people because the hospital you go to is full of whites and rich Indians – you are not providing a bed and food for thousands of poor Indians and it is efficient because genuinely free market. They post their prices up front, those are the real prices, and you go to the hospital that offers a fair price, whereas American hospitals will never tell you what it is going to cost.

Singapore has the best healthcare in the world, and the cheapest for the taxpayer, and reasonably cheap for the individual person needing medical services. Simply copy Singapore’s system. Singapore has forced savings accounts, so that when someone has an emergency, he has savings, rather than hitting up the taxpayer. For the very poor, the very unlucky, or the very sick in Singapore there is free government healthcare – complete with death panels and the usual government healthcare suck. Socialism for the very poor, capitalism for the affluent.

Copy Singapore

Education

Educrats are our priesthood, and priests always think people should spend more time in church. Hence degree inflation.

It is time for the dissolution of the monasteries. Confiscate the endowments.

It used to be that only pretty smart people, about equivalent to IQ 115, pretty close to the white intake of today’s Ivy League students, could pass the school leaving exam, administered at the start of white male puberty.

And the top of the top elite, did matriculation, the completion of high school, at about the completion of white male puberty.

At one time, employers could look at a school leaving certificate, issued at the start of white male puberty as a signal that a candidate not only had a great work ethic and a strong sense of follow-through but that they were cut from a different cloth from most average or above-average young people. It signaled something unique about the candidate and made it that they were somebody in whom it would make sense to invest.

Then our priesthood started issuing school leaving certificates to everyone

It signaled something unique about the candidate and made it that they were somebody in whom it would make sense to invest.

Then our priesthood graduated everyone from high school.

At one time, employers could look at a college degree, issued long after a man should have gotten married and started fathering children, as a signal that a candidate not only had a great work ethic and a strong sense of follow-through but that they were cut from a different cloth from most average or above-average young people. It signaled something unique about the candidate and made it that they were somebody in whom it would make sense to invest.

Then our priesthood graduated everyone from college.

A college degree has become the new high school diploma: the minimum credential required to get even the most basic, entry-level job.

Degree inflation is proceeding faster and faster. 25 percent of people employed as insurance clerks have a BA, but twice that percentage of insurance-clerk job ads require one.

If you want something better than the most basic entry level job, you need an advanced degree – and by the time you get your advanced degree, all the women you might have married have spent years fucking one man after another, and their fertility is starting to be adversely affected by age and sexually transmitted diseases.

One of the mechanisms for ensuring adequate attendance at government indoctrination sessions – the state church – is that schools perform a sorting function. For the able and industrious to be sorted into the able and industrious category, they first have to attend X amount of time listening to government propaganda, where X is apt to increase without limit.

But that propaganda, that indoctrination, is against sorting – sorting is discrimination. We are therefore proceeding to subtler forms of discrimination, degrees in stupid, versus degrees in smart. The logical endpoint of this process is that everyone in America gets a PhD which costs six hundred thousand dollars, but most of the PhDs are in basketweaving and puppetry. The sorting function, which is the incentive to attend college, is continually sabotaged and subverted.

No one should run up large amounts of debt to get a degree in stupid.

Our elite is being stupidified by avoiding disparate impact. Anything that filters for smarts has disparate impact on women and blacks. Also, smart people tend to mansplain – give those affirmative actioned into jobs beyond their competence instructions and advice that they are incapable of following. In an environment where one has a large number of female affirmative action employees, filtering for political correctness is going to filter for stupidity since smart people will be perceived as discriminating against the less smart, no matter how pious and sincere their faith.

I propose degree deflation:

At puberty (measured by biology rather than chronological age, to avoid the disaster that ensues when you have twelve year old adult black men in the same classroom as twelve year old white male children), everyone gets a test that discriminates between the lower two thirds and the upper third.

The upper third get the option of going to special elite boarding school (real school) while the rest, if they feel inclined, can attend bullshit school to learn lies and bullshit as at present. (There would be too much outrage if we simply kicked them out) The intent is that after a while, bullshit high school empties out as people realize that it not worth anything, and then we can we burn them down, salt the earth, build condos where they stood, and send the teachers to the gulag in Alaska for re-education.

Smart kids can learn in elite high school maths to calculus and trig, science to special relativity, how to calculate pi from first principles, geography, history of western civilization, and can absorb the western culture and western civilization that university no longer teaches.

About one third are eligible for elite high school, about one third of those graduate at the completion of puberty.

This, of course, renders sorting function performed by the Ivy league redundant.

Ten percent of that 11 percent who graduate elite high school, the top one percent, people 135 and up, take an elite two year university course. This certificate is roughly comparable to Harvard Law, (except that it does not cover much law) rendering the existing academic system rather useless.

As the colleges empty out, confiscate the endowments, burn down the colleges, salt the earth, build condos where they stood, and send the professoriat to the gulag in Alaska for re-education, where they will be taught useful skills appropriate to their talents, and eventually re-integrated into the economy into positions that do not involve indoctrinating people. For Maths and Science people that will rarely be a problem, but the rest may well be learning how to say “Do you want fries with that?”. The re-education is conducted in Alaska because of the likelihood of trouble as the colleges shut down.

Attempting to use academic credentials to filter to smarter than the top one percent is unlikely to succeed, because of demand for lengthy recreational degrees. If we try to get an elite smarter than 135, going to need some new filtering mechanism. Also, using academic credentials as a filter means you are up against the bureaucratic imperative to expand. If one is supposedly in the business of educating people, one is naturally inclined to claim that the education is beneficial, and can benefit everyone, rather than acting as a filter. Thus academic institutions have an incentive to subvert their filter function, and thus an incentive to stupidify the elite.

We used to have a public service exam, a requirement for government employment in functions likely to exercise power, that was IQ heavy, though it also tested for diligence by requiring you to memorize a lot of useless nonsense. Unfortunately, this, of course, had disparate impact. Simply re-instituting the exam would dramatically improve elite function, and one could simply make it a substantially tougher exam for anyone in the system at a level likely to make policy.

Degree deflation, aptitude testing, and a gulag in Alaska.

    Jim’s blog represents lunacy. It’s a trainwreck, one that I find solace in the fact that his bloviations are impotent. Let’s take a look at this carnival of idiocy.

    “When blacks complain about gentrification, they often mean that ethnic cleansing of whites is not proceeding fast enough to compensate for their destruction of housing stock.”

    
So I imagine you have direct quotes and evidence in which Americans blacks specific indicate that they openly desire to systematically engage the action you are claiming.

    “Rumor has it that five hundred white women have been shockingly disfigured by black males seeking to cleanse whites out of desirable buildings.”

    
To Jim, rumor constitutes evidence. It’s easy on his part to take half-truths and inaccuracies and wild generalizations to frame his argument.

    “You can do anything with bayonets.”

    Jim, it would require guts on your part direct your anger toward a two-year-old nigglet by slicing their throat. Praytell, what religious passage are you able to cite that enables a man or woman to engage in unsolicited violence toward a child?

    “They integrated schools by poking white female children with bayonets. While what I propose would involve poking people with bayonets it would not require such an egregious and embarrassing application of bayonets.

    “With the application of proper authority, they can make fine citizens.”

    Yes, them darkies need supervision, i.e. your brand of propaganda.

    “Jim, sometimes you need to step back and take a deep breath.”

    Considering that his wife runs the household, he doesn’t have time.

    “The problem is that you repeatedly refuse to acknowledge that crimethink arguments have been made, or that crime thoughts have even been expressed, and fail to respond, simply repeating your original claim as if it had never been rebutted, or even disputed, as if no one could possibly disagree and no one ever had disagreed Argument by Chutzpah. It is just not a legitimate method of argument. It is dishonest, stupid, and irritating.”

    

What is dishonest, stupid, and irritating is how Jim automatically labels counterarguments to his position as being part and parcel to having been indoctrinated, i.e. neutered by leftism. In this manner, that counterargument from his perspective is automatically null and void, and thus no refutation is required…because “crimethink”.

    “If we allow people to produce physical things there will be plenty of work for the white working class.”

    
You are speculating. You do not know for certain. Moreover, the modern economy is increasingly about services and technological innovations. Machines generally make the stuff for us.

    “If you simply repeat your original assertions with ever increased confidence, you are a liar and a fool.”

    Jim, this is your wheelhouse!

    “You never attempted to rebut the argument that cannibalism was routine, normal, and socially acceptable in some substantial parts of black Africa,”

    William Arens, author of The Man-Eating Myth: Anthropology and Anthropophagy, basing his thesis on a detailed analysis of numerous “classic” cases of cultural cannibalism cited by explorers, missionaries, and anthropologists. Often, these stories were steeped in unsubstantiated reports or based on second-hand or hearsay evidence. Often, these accusations helped characterize indigenous peoples as “uncivilized” and “primitive”. An example of the sensationalism of cannibalism and its connection to imperialism was in the Japan’s 1874 expedition to Taiwan. As Eskildsen describes, there was an exaggeration of cannibalism by Taiwanese aboriginals in Japan’s popular media such as newspapers and illustrations at the time.

    Reports of cannibalism were recorded during the First Crusade, as Crusaders allegedly fed on the bodies of their dead opponents following the Siege of Ma’arrat al-Numan. Amin Maalouf also alleges further cannibalism incidents on the march to Jerusalem, and to the efforts made to delete mention of these from western history. During Europe’s Great Famine of 1315–1317 there were many reports of cannibalism among the starving populations. In North Africa, as in Europe, there are references to cannibalism as a last resort in times of famine.

    Jim is unable to provide specific evidence that rural Africans perpetually engage in cannibalism, or that this threat is even likely. He would rather purposely distort contrary positions and label them as vile.

      (1) who said Jim wants to kill niglets? did Jim say he wants to kill niglets?
      (2) why would Jim want to cite any religion as justification for killing niglets?

        You know damn well the answer, white Nigger. Think about it. No mo’ niggles, no mo’ problem. Of course he won’t say it directly, he’s too civilized.

        Jim’s the one advocating calling for college professors to be sent to a gulag for “re-education. The next logical step is to eradicate other problems as well.

      William Arens is, like yourself, a barefaced liar. Compare his account of Bernal Díaz del Castillo reports, with what Bernal Díaz del Castillo actually claims to have seen up close and personal.

      We have a pile of eyewitness accounts, such as that of Bernal Díaz del Castillo, and William Arens just plain lies barefaced that they are not eyewitness accounts.

      • Corvinus says:

        Here is where your ignorance is shown for all to bear witness.

        While there is universal agreement that a number of groups practiced sacrifice, there is a lack of scholarly consensus as to whether cannibalism was widespread. That is, the EXTENT of the practice is currently debated. In particular, Arens is questioning the reliability of these accounts regarding the preponderance of cannibalism in those societies, NOT individual instances of this practice being observed. Now, the accounts by Bernal Dias del Castillo was from his own worldview. Each person’s worldview has a particular bias. While the accounts are accurate, they may be certain things in those accounts that warrants scrutiny.

        Do you even understand nuance?

        You then proceed to double down in abject stupidity by making the audacious claim that cannibalism of several group of people, past and present, occured daily at worst or extensive at best. In particular, you stated that most African today have tasted human flesh. You must offer sufficient evidence to support these specific conclusions.

        In particular, do you have eyewitness accounts that this practice indeed happens regularly in rural Africa?

        That most people generally have tasted human flesh?

        Where is your pile of eyewitness accounts?

          There are some scholars who lie barefaced, and should another scholar call them on it, several black professors with room temperature IQ and base ball bats will pay that disagreeable scholar a little visit.

          Related to Jim’s law of poster girls, Jims law of lying scholars:

          William Arens lies barefaced about what Bernal Díaz del Castillo said, therefore everything said by William Arens is a lie, and what he does not like about Bernal Díaz del Castillo is that Bernal Díaz del Castillo told the truth.

          Cannibalism was universally practiced in Mexico by everyone, as described by the eyewitness Bernal Díaz del Castillo and many other eyewitnesses, and is still widely practiced in Haiti, as described by the eyewitness Sir Spenser Saint John, and substantial parts of subsaharan Africa, as described by innumerable eyewitnesses, though in Haiti they don’t murder and eat random strangers, so though you might be murdered and robbed in Haiti, you are unlikely to be murdered and eaten. Whereas there are substantial parts of rural black Africa where should you visit, you probably will be murdered and eaten.

            Two problems, among several others, that I had with Castillio was with his account, an account which lacked all plausibility and verisimilitude, of Montezuma, and as well I remember thinking that the numbers that he gave of the opposing armies in the battles in which he witnessed or participated were much too high to be believable.

            >is still widely practiced in Haiti, as described by the eyewitness Sir Spenser Saint John

            I like to read old books too, but don’t you think that maybe, just maybe, eyewitness accounts of cannibalism from the nineteenth century are a bit dated, and that more recent sources must be cited in order to back up your claim of the current existence of the practice of cannibalism in Haiti?

            • jim says:

              I have read him, and you are nuts. There is nothing unreasonable about his account of Montezuma, and the battle numbers are quite modest for an agricultural society in which all land was under production and all males were required to fight. Cortez and Diaz say that Mexican cities were vastly larger than contemporary Spanish cities, and the archaeology supports this. If big cities, big armies. Also, Spain was feudal, hence low levels of mobilization, whereas the Mexicans had total mobilization, every adult male. So we would expect Indian armies to be vastly larger than contemporary European armies.

              From Charles the Hammer to the French Revolution, whites deployed small well equipped well trained elite armies, rather than mass armies. Indians deployed mass armies so we would expect their armies to be vastly larger than contemporary European armies.

              Further, those arguing that the battle numbers were too high also propose very high population numbers for the pre columbian population, which would make the battle numbers far too low, given total mobilization.

          • Irving says:

            >There is nothing unreasonable about his account of Montezuma

            I don’t have the text in front of me, and its been over a year since I read it, but I distinctly recall Castillio describing Montezuma as someone well-disposed towards the Spaniards, who took an interest in their technology and religion, who wanted nothing more than to submit to Ferdinand and Isabella, who was by nature gentle and nonviolent, and who was even good friends with Castillio and his people, but who, despite himself, just couldn’t keep himself from observing his native religion, and from devouring human flesh. This simply struck me as an extremely unlikely combination of characteristics for someone in Montezuma’s position to have.

            There’s also the fact that Castillio was responding to other accounts of the conquistadors’ activities which painted the conquistadors in an unfavorable light. Putting aside the question of whether Castillio exaggerates the barbarism of the Aztecs, he seems somewhat inordinately interested in, on the one hand, depicting Pizarro in as positive way as possible, while depicting his opponents among the Spainards, who would go on to write the accounts that Castillio is attempting to refute, in a purely negative light, likely with the intention of discrediting their side of the story in the eyes of the reader.

            You say that all accounts agree that the pre-Columbian Indians were cannibals, but the people Castillio is setting out to refute seem to claimed — I say ‘seem’ because I haven’t actually read them, I’m going off of the second-hand familiarity I have with them — that the cannibalism they were engaged in wasn’t as prevalent as Castillio would later make it seem.

            There are other stuff that I can say, but I’d have to go back and reread the text.

              A technologically superior people with the capacity to conquer you show up. You are Montezuma. You are going to make nice, partly because you want peace and higher technology, partly to play for time because you hope you can copy sufficient bits of their technology to defend yourself.

              It rapidly becomes apparent that these people are cruel bandits who intend to take everything you have, their technology is hard to copy, and playing for time is becoming increasingly expensive.

              That is how I interpreted Montezuma as depicted by Castillio. Montezuma was trying to cut a deal where he stays King and keeps some of his stuff and his people get access to higher technology, Cortez wanted to be King and take everything.

              Also, priestly power. Cortez probably could have a cut a deal with Kings. Could not cut a deal with priests. Priests are worried that Kings will cut a deal whereby religious cannibalism ends, and priests wearing human skins are replaced by a new bunch of priests wearing crosses. So we see a power struggle between priests insisting on war to the end and Kings who are impressed by Cortez’s military capability and are thinking they could cut a deal to get some of that.

              We know that William Arens is, like yourself, a barefaced liar, because we can compare what he claims Bernal Díaz del Castillo said (William Arens claims Castillo says he heard about cannibalism third hand), with what Bernal Díaz del Castillo actually said (Castillo says he saw cannibalism happening right in front of him continually).

              And we can infer the existence of a team of large black professors with baseball bats and room temperature IQs from the widespread disinclination to call William Arens on it.

        • Corvinus says:

          Is there a wealth of primary sources that prove cannibalism existed in Aztec society? Yes.

          Should Arens be taken to task if he denies this fact? Yes.

          Should you be taken to task for insisting that Aztec society engaged then, and African society engages now, in cannibalism as a widespread, perpetual, daily occurrence rather than a particular religious practice, without considering historical context? Absolutely.

          Now, make sure to note I agree that cannibalism is an uncivilized act before accusing me of condoning this practice or supporting it or believing in it or whatever fag bullshit stunt you are known to pull.

          By the way, where is the specific evidence, i.e. first hand accounts, that substantial parts of rural black Africa today, should you visit, will lead a person to probably be murdered and eaten?

          Cortés made definite observations of acts and threats of cannibalism—sometimes both at once, as when the Spaniards’ Indian allies caused dismay among the Aztecs by showing the latter pieces of their butchered countrymen. Of the Aztecs’ suspicion that the Spanish ate men, the Aztecs believed the Spanish to be gods, and the Aztecs believed gods mutilated and consumed men. Thus, Europeans and the “savages” feared the others were cannibals, but on opposite grounds: the Europeans because they thought the Aztecs, from their cultural superiority standpoint, were something less than men, and the Aztecs because they thought the Europeans, from a religious perspective, were supreme deities.

          That the notices of the actual eating on a daily basis, that they greedily consumed human flesh as a longstanding, perpetual practice, I’m sure you have sources from your archives to prove it.

          Because the Spanish assumed that if sacrifices were being made, and human flesh was being hung on poles, that naturally this cultural practice was “the norm”, i.e. embedded as part of their society from cradle to grave.

          Stated another way—the Spanish would think that the practice was universal, rather than unique; that, to the Spanish, the practice of eating flesh was part of the Aztec diet, consumed as a meal on a regular basis, rather than the practice of eating flesh was part of the Aztec religion, prepared as a form of communion in a specific ceremony.

          Therefore, it is not surprising that the erroneous assumption would become an established “fact” by the Spanish and subsequent European historians about cannibalism without realizing the context of human sacrifices. This gradual transformation of what little evidence is available for Aztec cannibalism would serve as the basis to legitimize conquest of “heathens”.

So, future European explorers encounter “savages” who in their eyes are wholesale cannibals without any attempt to check the truth of the claim. Other travelers and academics repeat the initial accusation so often it acquires the status of truth, despite never having been substantiated that truth in the first place.

          Now, let’s get back to the real question before you revert back to being a little bitch and ignore it completely. Where is the specific evidence, i.e. first hand accounts, that substantial parts of rural black Africa today, should you visit, will lead a person to probably be murdered and eaten?

            In addition to religious cannibalism, they also chowed down on the war dead, without priests or ceremony, which is pretty good evidence as human flesh as just an ordinary meal.

            Religious cannibalism tends to result in warrior cannibalism, and warrior cannibalism is not very different from gangs of thugs robbing and eating passers by.

  5. Guy says:

    Surprised you’re discussing the cost of assets (housing) without bringing up the Federal Reserve and QE. For sure, part of the problem is giving housing to NAMs through the Community Reinvestment Act. But now that housing has failed, the reason it’s not affordable is more a government and financial institution problem.

    The home ownership rate is near 50 year lows. The price of housing is simply too high compared to demand. In a free market, the price must come down to meet demand. Demand has been artificially inflated by the Fed policies (QE1,2,3,Twist) all of which have piled substantial money into mortgage backed securities (MBS) to inflate housing prices.

    After demanding to rescind the Glass Steagal Act in the name of free market capitalism, the banks demanded to rescind free market capitalism to get bailed out for their failed bets on housing. Yes, NAMs play a big role, but the bigger issue is a government who uses them as a weapon against badwhites, and the rapacious nature of our FIRE economy.

  7. Deurbanize. I am going to post longer about it, but basically low-IQ people thrive far better in rural villages, because it is closer to the EEA and thus more instinctive problem-solving can be used. Cities as highly artificial environments should be only for the high-IQ and thus small, a city should be a campus and a trading port written somewhat larger.

    There is nothing sadder that masses of low-IQ brown and sometimes white trash living urban/suburban where they cannot meaningfully employ their natural skillsets, there is almost nothing they can do that brings them satisfaction and a feeling of success, and thus turn to destructive behavior. Natural peasants living in cities is pretty much the worst idea ever and I don’t even know why – jobs are part of the reason, but I think the core reason, back to Ancient Rome even, is that living close to political decision makers enables one to exert pressure on them, thus welfare.

    If I was dictator I would simply just give the proverbial forty acres and a mule to the welfare clients (white thrash included) and not let them sell it. Sink or swim. Keep cities small and elite, keep natural peasants in their proper environment, and everybody is better off.

    Also, ship out all lower-IQ jobs to the country. I don’t know how exactly, but why is it hard to bus people from a village to a factory? If there are few villages with workforce and natural resources around, why aren’t factories out in the country and not in urban industrial zones?

      Cities do produce jobs for peasants.

      “There is nothing sadder that masses of low-IQ brown and sometimes white trash living urban/suburban where they cannot meaningfully employ their natural skillsets, there is almost nothing they can do that brings them satisfaction and a feeling of success, and thus turn to destructive behavior.”

      So, how are you able to exclusively make this determination? Are not people themselves able to decide what is meaningful to them? Must they seek your guidance in such matters?

      “If I was dictator I would simply just give the proverbial forty acres and a mule to the welfare clients (white thrash included) and not let them sell it. Sink or swim. Keep cities small and elite, keep natural peasants in their proper environment, and everybody is better off.”

      You wouldn’t last a day as dictator. Moreover, there is no observably such thing as “natural peasants”. It is a concept you made up to lend credibility to your argument.

      “Also, ship out all lower-IQ jobs to the country. I don’t know how exactly…”

  12. replace costly, time-consuming diplomas with SATs, Wondericks, and other IQ-like proxies, to signal competence. Employers realize that GPAs are becoming diluted due to grade inflation. Stop wasting so much money on special ed, and focus more resources on the top 5%, who are, statistically speaking, more likely to contribute to the economy and technology than the bottom 5%, yet the bottom gets vastly more funding. Healthcare? Ration by IQ for expensive procedures when payment is not an options; advocate euthanasia for costly incurable diseases when payment is not an option. 5% of patients are consuming 50-80% of healthcare resources, typically for rare diseases and end of life care, which is a big waste.

      • but we’re talking about hypothetical policy. Also explains why there is a push by the left to make these standardized tests easier. But in some instances tests are allowed is the employer can disprove disparate impact by showing that the test is sufficiently applicable to the job, but this is often very costly for the employer.

      • Bowman says:

        “Effectively outlawed” is a bit much. At least in “”””consulting”””” and some tech fields, lots of companies will give you thinly disguised IQ tests as the first part of the interview process. I assume they figure they’ll be able to settle and/or show that the test is “reasonably related” to the performance of job tasks–which at least in a programming context it very likely is.

        The other thing to remember is that education also signals a willingness to sit down, shut up, and do what you’re told in a timely fashion, and I reckon lots of employers value that. IIRC, IQ and noncognitive skills are somewhat correlated since everything good is somewhat correlated, but maybe not enough to make good hiring decisions with. As Bryan Caplan likes to point out (inb4 >Bryan Caplan), previous work experience would be a better signal of noncognitive skills than either education or some goofy-assed personality inventory, but this is no longer feasible for many, partly for reasons discussed upthread.

    • peppermint says:

      That 5% of patients thing is PC, which means it’s probably false. What is somewhat PC but not really, which means it’s probably true, is what Donald Trump has said about health care cost transparency. In fact, health care cost transparency would fix that 5% problem almost completely. What is not PC, and true, is that niggers get fertility treatment and healthcare for their children for free while Whites need to pay for abortions and pay through the nose for healthcare for their children.

      It’s expensive to have White kids.

      It’s expensive to send White kids to schools where they won’t get beat up while the administrators look the other way, so much so that most of the children of what was the middle class in the ’80s understands in their bones even if not in words that niggers have privilege over them and on some level resent it.

      Those White kids need to keep their record clean, go to college, then to graduate school, and now they still can’t get a job because affirmative action makes it illegal to produce anything that a nigger can’t produce without massive administrative overhead.

      The exception was the tech industry, which is currently being affirmative actioned, because that worked so well for manufacturing.

      The exception is startups that the joke passed around on Facebook is you sell your startup before you have to hire your first woman.

      Jim sees the problems in housing, health, and education, because those are influenced more deeply by government policy, so were problems back in the ’80s and ’60s. It’s the current year, the rot has destroyed manufacturing and is expected to soon destroy tech.

      White men already understand that government scholarships, government welfare, government job placement services, and so on, are not for them. White men are giving up on competing with other White men to be SJWs to try to get the jobs that they won’t get anyway, everyone expects the economy to get worse and worse as time goes on and social security not to exist when and if they make it to 65 and them not to be able to afford much less receive health care from the government.

      And you can tell from seeing the occasional surly Facebook post from young White men. Conserving and retreating was for previous generations. Since we can’t reproduce, we are biologically programmed to fight for the right to reproduce.

      • Bowman says:

        I’m not too sure about this one way or the other, but:
        1. It sure seems like there are people who aren’t worth hiring at any price–who will cost you more by stealing or dicking around (or in enforcement to stop them from stealing or dicking around) than they’ll make for you by working. “Proper management” is eliding a lot here. You mention paving–well, would you pay Moldbug’s perfectly nice kid with an IQ of 70 $7.50 an hour to fill in the pothole near your house?
        2. Even if there are people worth hiring at less than hashtag fight for fifteen or whatever, are they worth hiring at rates sufficient to keep them peaceful? Again, “proper management” covers a whole lot here. It’s all well and good to shake your fist at those commies on the Warren Court, but if my choice is between working for literal starvation wages (which I fear is all that many people’s labor might be worth) or getting uppity and taking a bullet, well. And if the real answer here is that bullets are cheap, then see 3).
        3. As far as I can tell, a lot of the relevant concern is not current technological unemployment so much as the risk of technological unemployment as automation improves. It’s one thing to deal with an unemployable 5%, quite another when everybody with an IQ under 145 can be outperformed by a free smartphone app and an autonomous drone. I’m not convinced that this is actually how it’s going to go–it may be, for example, that we all end up hiring human butlers and masseurs and personal chefs with the surplus we have from efficient robotic production–but if it does, the bullets solution boils down to transhumanist accelerationism. Which is certainly a consistent position one could take.

        • Bowman says:

          To be clear, I’m talking about a situation in which the marginal product of someone’s labor is nonzero, but less than the cost of feeding them and supplying them with a pot to piss in.

  14. Spoons says:

    We have plenty of houses. The problem is that so many of them are filled with immigrants. According to some chart by Pew we could have a population of 252 million people if the 1965 immigration act hadn’t passed. Instead we have 324 million people. Deport the extra 72 million and suddenly the housing stock effectively increases by 29%*. The housing stock that is currently available increases by far more, a couple hundred percent. Prices would collapse, the worst houses would be left to rot, and new construction would be almost unnecessary.

    The only problem is that this new affordability would allow the criminal class (blacks) to spread their disruption. That could be thwarted by various simple measures (police tactics, laws supporting segregation, etc…)

    *actually not as much, because Americans don’t cram a dozen people into each house.

  15. Cloudswrest says:

    Speaking of real estate development, back in the late 1980s I was at a Palo Alto city council meeting to protest some gun ban they were trying to pass (and did despite overwhelming audience opposition). What stuck in my mind was there was an agenda item where some representative of the Stanford Shopping Center was there to plead for some expansion to the shopping center. The city council was warm to the idea provided the shopping center build some low income housing somewhere they had in mind. I was gobsmacked (at the time) at this blatant extortion.

        Leftists are moving diversity to the suburbs in genuine belief that this will enrich the suburbs and fix the problems of diversity. Once they have destroyed the suburbs, they will move diversity back into the inner cities.

        If leftists realised that diversity causes problems wherever it is and can’t be improved, they would simply support segregation.

    • Irving says:

      Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, or AFFH, is the official name of the program.

      HUD is the department in charge of implementing the program, but that department is probably the most demographically NAM and women department in government in terms of the people who work their, and so of course they don’t know what is actually going on. The people who actually wrote up the program were likely not affiliated with HUD at all, as the program seems to have come straight from the higher levels of the Cathedral, and so we can be assured that the people who wrote it were probably pretty smart and well-aware of what they were doing, whatever Jim wants to say.

      Clearly it isn’t an accident that this program, if applied, will leave plenty of open property in prime locations in the cities to be bought up on the cheap, developed and sold at extravagant prices to overpaid SJWs. Nevertheless, I don’t think that that the part of the program which says that the inner city blacks should be forcibly settled in white middle-class suburban communities will ever be implemented. I suspect that this provision was put in there in order to make it seem that the planners weren’t simply expelling the inner city blacks from the cities en masse, that they actually have a benevolent reason (i.e. fighting racism) in mind for doing what they’re doing, which is expelling blacks. I doubt that the government really wants to provoke a legal battle with the powerful homeowner associations, nor is it likely that they would want to instigate the race war that would inevitably follow the forced settling of inner city blacks into white middle class suburban communities.

      Read E. Michael Jones’ fantastic The Slaughter of Cities, in which it is shown that though the government brought blacks from the south into the northern cities in the ’60s under the pretext of ‘integration’, the reason the government really brought into the northern cities was in order to undermine the unions and, more importantly, to undermine their white ethnic neighborhoods. Jones’ story makes quite a bit of sense and it is backed up by plenty of evidence. If the government really wanted ‘integration’, they would have brought in the blacks but forced the whites in these cities to stay. Instead, blacks were brought in but, as Jones shows, whites were given every incentive, including financial, to move to the suburbs, thereby facilitating the creation of even more separation between the races than there likely was prior to the ’60s..

      Jones’ book is a good book to study so as to understand what AFFH is all about. The government likes to use the pretext of ‘integration’ or ‘fighting racism’ in order to pursue ends far different from their stated one of promoting ‘integration’ or ‘fighting racism’. In this case, I don’t think the goal is to ruin white middle class suburban communities. There’s plenty of space in America and it would make no sense for the government to pick a fight with the homeowner associations when the government can just drop the inner city blacks in the middle of nowhere, away from everyone else. The government has been doing something similar with refugees and third world immigrants for a long time. It is no coincidence that there are huge Kurdish communities in the most rural parts of Tennessee, or a huge Ethiopian community in South Dakota. It seems likely in my opinion that in the end, the government will fix on some random rural place in the middle of Arkansas that is extremely sparely populated but which is ~99 percent white, drop the inner city blacks there, and claim victory for having ‘integrated’ blacks in this previously ~99 percent white area.

      • Irving says:

        One more thing. The fact that inner city blacks don’t have jobs will make it easier for the government to resettle them in the way that I expect. There are no jobs in Wyoming but this doesn’t matter for inner city blacks, because they’re reliant on EBT and Section 8 and not on wages paid for honest work.

          They need to predate on white people. Only way to get them to stay in the middle of nowhere is slavery.

          Even with EBT and stuff, most blacks just cannot look after themselves.

            They can predate on white people even when left to themselves in Wyoming, that’s the point.

            I don’t think the economy as it is today has much room for potentially working class blacks. Even working class whites are being expelled from the labor market right now, and the dire socioeconomic consequences of this are just now becoming obvious to even SJWs. If even these whites have been so unfortunate, it seems unlikely that the blacks would fare any better were the government to cut their EBT.

              If we allow people to produce physical things there will be plenty of work for the white working class. If we apply proper discipline to blacks, there will be plenty of work for the better kind of black – and we send the worse kind of black to prison or slave labor, which means we get a much higher proportion of the better kind of black.

              Obviously Haitian rulers would not participate in cannibalistic religious rites unless a very substantial proportion of the common people adhered to cannibalistic voodoo – the elite eat children sacrificed to the serpent in order to cater to their subjects’ superstitions. Which only makes sense if many, probably most, Haitians adhere to a religion that requires them to ritually eat small portions of sacrificed children.

            This is BS. I addressed every single argument that you made in order to show that cannibalism is rampant in Africa.

            At first, you claimed that Nigerians were “eating each other” and I denied that this is the case. Then, as evidence, you referenced the hoax article which purported to show that a Nigerian restaurant owner was deliberately selling his patrons human flesh, but because it is a hoax article, there’s no point trying to rebut or refute the claims of the article.

            Next, you went on to make a serious of claims for which you provided no hard evidence whatsoever. You claimed, for example, that it is to be expected that people who wander outside of the “safe areas” in Liberia would be killed and eaten, that most rural Africans (and, since most Africans do not live in cities, and because Africa has no suburbs, this basically means most Africans) have tasted human flesh, that the social and collective nature of the few confirmed instances of cannibalism of Africa suggests that the practice is prevalent there, and that the only reason why blacks don’t do cannibalism in the West in the way that you claim they do in Africa is because of a lack of supply.

            I addressed these claims by pointing out that there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever to suggest that the first two claims are true; that the third claim is not by itself untenable by that reference to other groups of people (i.e. the Chinese) with whom cannibalism is obviously not rampant, but among whom social and collective acts of cannibalism have been reported and confirmed, would seem to suggest that the simple fact that a group has committed social and collective acts of cannibalism is not sufficient evidence to conclude that cannibalism is rampant among them; and that the fourth claim is patently false, that there is plenty of supply for cannibals in Western societies, and that if they refuse to engage in cannibalism in the West, it is because of other factors that are keeping them from it.

            As far as my own argument was concerned, all that it was based on was on my belief that cannibalism is something that is not likely to be rampant within any population, though some populations may do it more than others, and that for this reason, before we accuse a population of engaging in rampant cannibalism, there must be sufficient evidence that would allow us to do so, evidence that you distinctly failed to provide.

              Liar

              Cannibalism in Africa is usually social and collective. A bunch of people, gathered together for reasons unrelated to cannibalism, typically soldiers, rioters, or a criminal gang, eat someone.

              This can only happen if most people are in fact cannibals

              You compared this to starvation cannibalism happening among other peoples, but in the African incidents, no one is starving. Thus cannibalism is routine and commonplace in Africa, whereas in your counter examples of other races, social and collective cannibalism only happened when people were starving to death.

              In the case of Haiti, you could have argued that though cannibalism is social and collective, it occurs among people gathered together for that purpose, in that they are worshipers whose religion requires human sacrifice and cannibalism of children. You did not make that argument, instead dismissing with immense confidence and outrageous chutzpah the existence of religious cannibalism in Haiti. However if you had made that argument, the willingness of the rulers of Haiti to flatter and accommodate the priests and priestesses of cannibalism and human sacrifice indicates it is a quite widespread and popular religion.

            The Chinese were cannibalizing each other during the Mao-induced famine because they were starving to death, but the Chinese are not eating baby soup and consuming capsule pills made out of aborted fetuses today because they are starving to death, they are doing it because they think that it’ll improve their health and/or their sexual performance. Note too that these latter two examples constitute social and collective acts of cannibalism.

            I will note as well that there are allegations that the ‘baby soup’ story is a hoax. But, the ‘baby soup’ accusations have been going around for some time, and they seem plausible enough given the fact that there has actually been cases where arrests have been made of people attempting to sell capsule pills made out of aborted fetuses to Chinese people outside of China. There was apparently a big bust of this kind not too long ago in South Korea.

            Also, I pointed out the example of Jeffrey Dahmer to show that although there may be instances of cannibalism in a society, that we shouldn’t infer from that that cannibalism is rampant within that society.

            Moreover, I mentioned the reported and confirmed instances of social and collective acts of cannibalism among the Chinese in order to force Jim into drawing a conclusion that he and everyone else knows is patently false.

            More specifically, his argument seems to be that because the reported and confirmed instances of cannibalism that have come out from Africa were social and collective in nature, we can therefore conclude that cannibalism is rampant in Africa, because social and collective acts of cannibalism can only happen among populations that routinely engage in cannibalism. Well, the Chinese are engaging in social and collective acts of cannibalism too, so according to Jim’s logic, we must say that cannibalism is rampant among the Chinese. My point is that unless we reject the idea that social and collective acts of cannibalism can only occur among populations with whom cannibalism is rampant, we will be backed into a corner, and will be forced to falsely accuse the Chinese of routinely engaging in cannibalism.

            >fetus pills are not exactly the same thing as killing some outsider and holding a barbecue.

            The consumption of fetus pills constitutes cannibalism, and the very fact that the fetuses are consumed in pill form suggests that it is a social and collective act, given that the pills could never be produced and sold were there not doctors, manufacturers, smugglers, etc., available to make it happen.

            The difference between consuming fetus pills and “killing some outsider and holding a [human] barbecue” is essentially the same difference that exists between purchasing a chicken sandwich from McDonald’s and killing a chicken yourself and making the chicken sandwich yourself. Which is to say that it in the end it is the same thing, and the only difference is in who is killing and preparing the meat. But in the end of the day, the meat is still human, or chicken.

              Placenta eating in China is not an indication of risk of being mugged or eaten. African muggings culminating in a barbecue of the victim are an indication of risk of muggings and cannibalism. We can argue about how high the risk is, but it simply dishonest to suggest that the behaviors are comparable, or are an indication of comparable risk.

            >The soup is likely a hoax – also of Korean origin – probably derived from Zhu Yu’s “art exhibit”.

            The only thing that I’ll say about the soup is that 1) the pictures accompanying the numerous articles that have been published on this issue, both in the papers and online, look pretty damning, 2) it doesn’t surprise me that a custom such as this would develop among the more backward ignorant Chinese peasants, who for decades have been compelled by their government to abort their babies at staggeringly and horrifyingly high rates, and 3) it makes intuitive sense that people who think that the consumption of aborted fetuses is good for one’s health and improves one’s performance in bed would eat baby soup, especially in cases where the more hygienic fetus pills are unavailable.

          • Irving says:

            It turns out that one of the ‘debunkings’ attempting to prove that the fetus pills are not actually a thing concedes that the Korean government has confiscated pills made of human flesh confiscated from China, but claims that it is unknown whether the pills were made of fetuses specifically as opposed to the flesh of people of all ages.

            A Korean documentary is responsible for the insinuation that those pills contain dead babies. It’s much, much more likely that they contain placenta.

            Consuming the placenta is a Chinese folk tradition (apparently gaining a foothold in Chicago). Eating babies… is not.

            I said that it was irrelevant because I don’t see any obvious connection, whether on the individual or on the population level, between a propensity to mug and a propensity to cannibalize. My position on this question does not make me stupid or a liar.

            >Placenta eating in China is not an indication of risk of being mugged or eaten.

            This isn’t about placenta eating, its about baby eating. From what I’ve read, the Korean government continues to justify its confiscation of these pills by saying that they are “human flesh pills”, and the Chinese government has yet to deny that these ‘human flesh pills’ are being produced in and exported from its country, at least not that I know of. Also, I don’t discount the damning footage contained on that Korean documentary which was apparently broadcasted on a government-owned TV station. Therefore, I see no reason to retract my claim that the consumption of these pills constitutes cannibalism.

            As well, there is the issue of the ‘baby soup’.

            Besides this, I agree that you are more likely to be mugged in rural Africa than rural China

You are taking a few examples taken mostly from two relatively sparsely populated countries, Liberia and Congo, who have both been in the midst of some of the most bloody civil wars in history, and trying to extrapolate those examples and attribute the behaviors exhibited in them to all Africans. I can ask you once again for hard evidence to justify your claim that most Africans have at one point or another tasted human flesh, but I’m sure you’ll just abuse me again.

            >but it simply dishonest to suggest that the behaviors are comparable, or are an indication of comparable risk.

            I don’t say that the Chinese and the Africans are behaviorally comparable, I’m simply saying that your stated rationale for saying that most Africans have tasted human flesh would seem to apply to other groups of people, including the Chinese.

              I said that it was irrelevant because I don’t see any obvious connection, whether on the individual or on the population level, between a propensity to mug and a propensity to cannibalize.

              Obviously people who are not going to mug you are not going to eat you. You find this hard to believe?

              >We can argue about how high the risk is,

              This is what I’ve been trying to do all along

              No you have not. You have been arguing from chutzpah. Bare assertions and denials.

              But, let us assess the risk.

              If we know of one case of mugging of a random victim by a random thug, hard to estimate how common muggings are

              If we know of one case were one random guy mugged someone and took his wallet, and the next random guy took the victim’s shoes, and the third random guy took the victim’s shirt and then started kicking the victim in the head, we can easily estimate that muggings are common, and if you are an outsider, nearly certain.

              Similarly, with African cannibalism. The mob kills someone, roasts him, and random people show up for some meat. Therefore, the random average guy in the army, or the random average guy in the mob, or the random average guy in the gang, is a cannibal.

            >I have just been informed that they do in fact eat thumb sized fetuses. Am surprised and shocked.

            As far as I’m concerned, this is confirmation that the reports of Chinese eating baby soup and of consuming fetus pills are true.

            >But still, this is significantly different from the Haitian practice of sacrificing and eating children that have just started puberty, and the African practice of killing and eating some unfortunate who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

            How is it “significantly different”? Both are cannibalism. It doesn’t surprise me, of course, that cannibalism in China is done differently from the way it is done in Africa..

            But our entire debate hinges on the frequency of cannibalism in Africa. If I have misunderstood you, please correct me, but your argument is that because the reported and confirmed cases of cannibalism in Africa are typically social and collective acts, we can infer that cannibalism is rampant in Africa, because social and collective acts of cannibalism can only transpire in societies in which cannibalism is rampant. If you want to adjust or retract this claim, and to defend your position in some other way, do so, but if you choose not to, I insist that you also say that cannibalism is also rampant in China, because of the social and collective nature of the cannibalism that is occurring in China.

            Otherwise, you can, with me, say that the simple fact that social and collective acts of cannibalism has occurred in some place, whether in Africa or China or anywhere else, does not mean that cannibalism is rampant in that place.

            • jim says:

              How is it “significantly different”? Both are cannibalism.

              Consuming pills containing thumbsized fetuses is not an indicator that you will be mugged, let alone eaten, if you go to china.

              Consuming adults and pubertal children is an indication you will be mugged, and quite possibly eaten, if you go to subsaharan Africa.

              You wont be eaten if you go to Haiti, since they only sacrifice and eat virgins or purported virgins of both sexes, but the fact that they sacrifice and eat people who are sufficiently grown to be potentially capable of sex indicates that you will be mugged if you go to Haiti.

            All of this may or may not be true, but the main point of contention between us turns on the question of the frequency of cannibalism in Africa, and of the actual number of Africans who have ever tasted human flesh.

            You say that cannibalism in Africa happens often and that most rural Africans, which is to say most Africans, period, have tasted human flesh. I say that we haven’t sufficient evidence to conclude that cannibalism happens often and that it is extremely unlikely, for various reasons, that most Africans have ever tasted human flesh. You have given your rationale for your position but I have shown that the reasoning behind your rationale would also lead us to believe that cannibalism occurs often in China and that most Chinese have tasted human flesh. Are you prepared to say that cannibalism in China happens often, and that most Chinese have tasted human flesh, or are you going to admit that your position on cannibalism in Africa is on shaky ground, and will you consequently change your justification for your position or else retract your position altogether?

            >You are not even trying to make sense. Socially and collectively killing some guy in the street and eating him is different from socially and collectively abusing the bodies of aborted fetuses.

            The Chinese are not “abusing the bodies of aborted fetuses”, they are eating them, which is cannibalism.

              You are behaving in an absolutely stereotypically Jewish fashion. Argument by chutzpah.

              We have already established that in some substantial areas most Africans are cheerfully willing to eat someone who has been murdered in front of them and you deny that fact, you just lying, by repeatedly ignoring what has been repeatedly established.

              Nor you have not presented any similar evidence of similar events ever occurring in China or Europe, the nearest equivalent being people dying of hunger eating someone who has died of hunger.

              Your behavior is dishonest, disgusting, and vile.

          • peppermint says:

            He’s going for technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. So yeah, cannibalism among chinks and gooks. No way to estimate how common it is, but it is tolerated enough to be done at an industrial scale.

            And if you squint at it enough, there’s no real evidence of industrial scale long pig packing in Africa, since all the evidence is racist and thus probably fake.

            Meanwhile… when is Irving going to admit that there are these peoples in Africa, Bantus and Pygmies, and the Bantus like to eat the Pygmies because they are just that racist? Should be easy for him, right?

              Any term stands for a group of things, and the archetype of cannibalism is grabbing some people who lack local power and local friends, for example bastard children, members of an unpopular minority group, people who look weird, or strangers from far away, killing them and eating them. This archetype is distinctively black, and distinctively African.

          • Jack says:

            Among Africans the savagery stems from low IQ and high aggression; they’re impulsive, or characterized by high time preference. This isn’t so with the Asians. With Asians the issue is that they’ve been selected for diminished empathy and especially a weak sense of disgust. Thus, eating cockroaches and other insects, drinking menstrual blood (Valentine’s Day in Japan), drinking liquid feces (“ttongsul”, common in Korea), Yullin Festival in China wherein pets such as dogs and cats are butchered en masse, see also the practice of dolphin drive hunting, and yes, cannibalism occurs as well; besides this culinary monstrosity, there’s Japanese porn, the most depraved you can imagine featuring women injected with enemas and forced to drink their own diarrhea, etc. This lack of a sense of disgust can be a force for good, though, such as with Filipinos having no problem wiping the arses of elderly strangers for a living. Not to mention the fact that Asians don’t shirk from genetic engineering and the development of advanced robotics. Another peculiarity of East Asians is that like Semitic Arabs and North Africans, death doesn’t scare them, and they often prefer it to dishonor. This attitude used to be common among Jews back when Jews were actually fully Semitic, which is no longer the case.

            I recall Jim denouncing the concept of racial purity for Whites, calling for establishing a racial-civilizational union between Whites and Asians. Well I’m glad Jim no longer holds this view. This is not to disparage the Asians completely. I’ve been reading recently the works of Nitobe Inazo, Kakuzo Okakura, and Lafcadio Hearn about different aspects of Japanese culture – what a glorious race! (Not superior to Northwestern Europeans, but certainly superior to kikes) But just as they should retain their racial purity, so should Whites – and indeed, Nature made it so that Happas — White-Asian hybrids — are thoroughly dysfunctional, just as Hitler “””unscientifically””” proclaimed about mongrels in general in Mein Kampf. Speaking of the Fuhrer, he would have cooperated with the Zionists if only the British and International Jewry (overwhelmingly non-Zionist at the time) allowed it, but no, they’d have none of it, because he dared hurt the delicate feelings of the Jewish avowed enemies of human civilization, and because the British had to placate the Arabs. But that’s a digression.

            All you’re saying is that when black Africans do cannibalism, they do it in a particularly unsophisticated way. But you are now changing the terms of the discussion.

            The original question concerned the frequency of cannibalism in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the actual percentage of black Africans who have actually, at one point or another, consumed human flesh. You have given your reasons for why you think that cannibalism happens often, and with the participation of most people, in black Africa. But using your reasoning, I have shown that it is possible to also conclude that cannibalism happens at least as frequently, and with at least as much participation of the population, in China.

            So again, I ask you, are you willing to concede that your reasoning may in fact be flawed? or, are you prepared to follow your reasoning to its logical conclusion, and conclude that cannibalism happens just as frequently, and with just as much mass participation, in China as in black Africa?

            “But just as they should retain their racial purity, so should Whites – and indeed,”

          That is not gentrification, that is ethnic cleansing of whites. Look at the blood on the ground, not the peities emitted by real estate salesmen whistling in the dark. Does not take very many slashings to put those condos underwater on their debt.

          They call these attacks “random” but the photos always show a black man, and usually show a fair skinned woman, white or mestizo, and the practical consequence of these attacks is that blacks get to move out of the buildings they have ruined into nice new buildings, those new condos of which you speak, which they then ruin in turn.

          There are ten slashing attacks per day, all by black men, primarily targeting white or whitish fertile age women, these attacks near the boundaries between the nice areas (not yet overrun by blacks) and the bad areas (already overrun by blacks)

          That is not consistent with gentrification.

              have lived here for 27 years and the demographic changes in large sections of Brooklyn and formerly ghettoish parts of Manhattan is very real and unmistakable.

              Sure. Mayor “Stop and Frisk” Bloomberg reconquered large parts of New York City from the savages by locking them up and keeping them locked up.

              But that was politically intolerable, so the evil fascist Mayor “Stop and Frisk” Bloomberg was replaced by saint Bill de Blasio, patron saint of blacks who slash white women on the boundary of the ghetto and then get a few days in a comfy jail cell before being released to slash some more.

              And under saint Bill de Blasio, gentrifiers get their women’s faces slashed, and therefore flee the boundary zone, thus making cheap housing full of nice stuff available to the slashers.

            Problem is he didn’t institute capital punishment for murder,rape,kidnapping and fraud proven beyond reasonable doubt.

            Hence allowing future releases of such criminals into the streets.

            As well as capital punishment for purjury regarding capital crimes after thorough investigation also proved beyond reasonable doubt.

        Chicago and nyc are gentrifyied, and DC is actually pretty awesome. Have you been there recently?

    >Reconquer unsafe areas, and make it legal to build stuff. Price of housing will fall radically.

    In NYC and in other major American cities, unsafe areas are being reconquered, but the price of housing in those cities are rising, not falling. In Texas, but in places like Houston especially, housing is very cheap, and yet there’s no reconquista of unsafe areas going on their that I know of.

      Reconquest stopped and was reversed under Obama and de Blasio.

      Housing cheap in Texas because you are allowed to build.

        Gentrification is still continuing at a rapid pace in places like NYC, DC and Chicago. It may have slowed a bit in NYC, though.

        >Housing cheap in Texas because you are allowed to build.

        This was my point. It seems as if the reconquest of unsafe areas isn’t necessary so long as you, like Texas, allow builders to build.

      Cuz peeps who lived in suburbs are now going to NYC. You can’t look at NY only. Obviously if conditions improve in NY due to civilizTionary efforts, more demand for living in Ny relative to alternatives (other cities, suburbs) will emerge, and presumably cost of living elsewhere will drop ceteris paribus. Also other factors (mass immigration, increase in population, etc).

      Jims point still stands. Increase supply of de facto available housing in cities via increased security/rational laws/etc. And prices will drop all else equal.
