Increased repression brings increased leftism, increased leftism brings increased repression, in an ever tighter circle that turns ever faster. This is the left singularity
Not the cognitive elite
Government has accomplished some mighty impressive things, the most impressive being the Manhattan project (nuclear bombs and nuclear energy), and the second most impressive being the landing on the moon. After Hiroshima, and before the moon landing, people said “Why don’t we (meaning government) have a Manhattan project to do X†After the landing on the moon, people said “If we (meaning government) can put a man on the moon, …
Krugman on supply side
By and large, the elite ignores the argument that our economic crisis is supply side, as if no one could possibly be so crazy, ignorant and stupid as to make such an obviously silly argument. However, when Professor Pedro Schwartz argued that the problem is supply side, Krugman responded passionately rather than ignoring and mischaracterizing the argument.:
Economic Decline measured by Big Macs per hour
On the basis of big mac per hour rate, living standards in the US fell 9% between 2007 and 2011, two and half percent a year. This agrees pretty well with cars and meat (two percent fewer cars and two percent less meat per person per year.)
Not the Jews
If someone thinks the Jews are behind the collapse of our civilization, he has to think the rot set in after 1950, for in the anglosphere, Jews were substantially excluded from the establishment until after 1954. Those who can see has a review of the early twentieth century showing rot several decades before that.
Cthulhu for president!
Romney and Obama are debating capitalism, freedom, and free markets. Which makes it sound as though the election matters. If American people vote for Obama, they will have voted against capitalism, freedom, and free markets, and if they vote for Romney, they will have voted for capitalism, freedom, and free markets. But no matter what they vote for it will make no difference. Vote Obama, you won’t get socialism, but …
Occupy LA performs riot theater
Michael Blaze is a black artist and art entrepreneur who is sufficiently white, middle class, and upwardly mobile that if he shot a black criminal, would promptly be declared white by Mainstream Media. He is one of those blacks that whiter people like to associate with to prove they are not prejudiced without risking getting mugged, and, like those whiter people, is a good progressive. He gives us an on …
Christianity yields to Zoism
(That is Zoism, the politically incorrect term for primitive religion, not Zionism, the theory that Jews need a homeland and heavy weapons because people keep trying to kill them) Theoretically, most western people still consider themselves Christian – including those that think that Jesus gay married Buddha and from time to time the loving couple visit earth in a flying saucer. But it is not the Christianity of 1950 or …
Men’s Rights Activists are whiny losers
The reason men’s rights activist sites are so whiny is that they accept the progressive ideology of equalism, and in their own lives they treated women as equals, and of course deservedly got treated like shit. They complain that men and women are not truly treated as alike, and therefore men get the short end of the stick.
Health care and stockholm syndrome
Observing enthusiasm for government health care around the world, it seems fairly proportional to the amount of involuntary euthanasia, the amount of murder by the state. Government healthcare has been demonstrably successful in moving the population and voters left, in large part in proportion to its propensity to murder people. Thirty percent of hospital deaths in Britain are murder by the state. British hospitals literally stink of death, due to …
