Recent posts on Urban Future vanished

Recent excellent posts on the excellent blog “Urban Future” have mysteriously vanished. Perhaps the bitbucket ate them, but I suspect the problem was that he said “the Left”, instead of saying the US Government. Edit:  In the comments, Nick Land reassures me that they were merely eaten by the bitbucket. He was discussing the left singularity.  He suggests that the left singularity was akin to an alcoholic drinking shoe polish …

As in Britain, maintaining order is being criminalized

As you know, another photo has come out showing that five foot eleven athlete Trayvon Martin beat the stuffing out of  five foot seven overweight George Zimmerman, while Zimmerman never hit back, until he finally shot Martin. And when I say “come out” I mean that Zimmerman’s new lawyers extracted it by a year of litigation.  His first set of lawyers were happy to roll over for the state, and …

China more capitalist than the USA

With the USA becoming more socialist, and China more capitalist, it was inevitable that they would cross over. And so today we see that private property rights in China are more secure and respected than in the USA. Which means that in a little while, the average Chinese will be richer than the average North American. At present, Chinese cars per capita is 21% of the US, electricity per capita …

Moldbug’s mission completed

Moldbug has a new post of substance, but not a whole lot of substance. That a significant proportion of votes are fraudulent, disproportionately in the most critical states, such as Ohio, and everyone piously turns a blind eye to voter fraud on a scale that makes the difference between one presidential candidate winning, and another winning, is interesting in that everyone turns a blind eye. Democracy is now so dead …

Leftwards with John Corzine

Urban Future tells us: When the Right attains power, it is by becoming something other than itself, betraying its partisans not only incidentally and peripherally, through timidity or incompetence, but centrally and fundamentally, by practically advancing an agenda that almost perfectly negates its supposed ideological commitments. It builds that which it had promised to destroy, and further enthralls that which it had promised to liberate. Its victories mean ever less, …

The median voter

Heartiste’s usually wise, insightful, and excellent blog has a pile of silly advice: What A Future American Right Party Can Do To Win A future American right party cannot win.  You win by winning over the median voter, or, equivalently, the modal swinging voter. The median voter or modal swinging voter in this election was someone who is single, fatherless, partly on welfare, if female a slut, if male frequently a …

Puritanism and purity

As I have said before, the Imperialists were the original anticolonialists, starting out as the British antislavery movement, but, going back further, following the brilliant research of Moldbug, the Puritans were the original leftists.

Military incapacity illustrated

Shortly after my post “Military Incapacity”, a few hundred Tutsi rebels evicted the “Congolese Army” (poorly equipped black Cathedral third world armed forces) and seventeen thousand “United Nations International Peace Keepers” equipped with helicopter gunships and suchlike (better equipped and not quite so black Cathedral Armed forces) from the city of Goma in the Congo. This a straightforward conflict between a minority less inferior black race, and a majority inferior …

Don’t know much about history

Supposedly we are ruled by the cognitive elite, but, strikingly, when compared to the elite of a  century ago, they don’t know much about history, don’t know much biology, don’t know much about a science book, don’t know much about the french they took. The members of the old elite would casually make interlingual puns, erudite references to ancient history and to the latest science of their day.   I am …
