Dalrock complaints that women ruin everything. They want to enter male spaces and make the space feminine, as a power play, not out of any interest in the things of value in that male space, which they inevitably destroy. This is a key issue in gamergate, where feminists demand that the games should be no fun and no one should play them. Women want to rule, even though it makes …
The reason that women need to be subordinated for successful reproduction
Examining difference in fertility, it is clear that fertility is primarily controlled by female status relative to their husbands. The more women are subordinated, the higher the fertility. Japan is a good test case. Not only did fertility dramatically drop when General McArthur emancipated women, but in feudal Japan, fertility among high status families was below replacement when women were high status, indicated by upward mobility and room at the …
Neoreaction and Identitarianism
Neoreactionaries rightly look down on identitarians as low class, vulgar, stupid, and, worst of all, leftist. “You think construction workers should vote! Worse, some of you think women should vote. You are so ignorant of history that you hate capitalism, forgetting how Europe became rich. And a lot of you are so stupid you think the Joos brought down the two towers.” This tempts neoreactionaries to say to progressives “See, …
Chinese growth prospects
A politically correct Harvard paper “Asiaphoria Meet Regression to the Mean” by the politically correct authors Lant Pritchett and Larry Summers tells us, or seemingly tells us, that China’s rapid growth is unlikely to last. They examine fifty or so periods of rapid growth, and, almost always, sad to say, there is regression to the mean. In the long run, the periods of rapid growth make little difference. These are, …
The really smart people
That nurses became sick “shows there was a clear breach of safety protocol” – but they are able to draw this conclusion without knowing what the breach was. The underlying reasoning is clear: Quarantine is racist. Therefore ebola is not very infectious. Therefore business as usual. Oops. Two nurses are infected with ebola. Obviously the nurses’ fault. They must be racist. This is a tragedy because it makes people think …
China’s real GDP passes US
For many years, US statistics have been obviously fake, understating inflation by about two and a half percent a year, thus overstating real GDP growth by about three percent a year, and understating the fall in living standards by about three percent a year. Thus, according to official statistics, US real GDP is still higher than that of China. Yet, by every measure of actual stuff and technological capability, Chinese …
The red and blue empires
A government is supposed to be one thing, that can be thought of as making decisions like a single person. To the extent that a government is one thing, it is a stationary bandit. But, lacking virtue and asabiyah, is apt to be many things, thus more like horde of mobile bandits. Moldbug argues that what were supposedly external wars by the US government against external enemies were frequently proxy …
Fake Hong Kong blockade
Here are the protestors “blockading” the road outside the Hong Kong Government Complex You will notice that three strong brave men with stun guns and rubber hoses could clear this blockade in fifteen minutes. If the blockade continues to exist, it is because the police wish it to continue to exist.
Hong Kong Government needs an inquisition
In the recent violence six police were injured, and nineteen people arrested, eight of who were triad members. About half of those injured were police – therefore the police are acting to protect the protestors and or coming down like the wrath of God on the counterprotestors – much like the “antifascist” riots in Europe, where the antifascists assemble to beat up “fascists”, beat them up, and then the police …
