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 …

Unlawful assembly in Hong Kong
Obviously the Chinese government has the mandate of heaven. Those who have power are entitled to keep it if they don’t screw up too badly, nor make unsuccessful radical change in the society that gave them power originally. Obviously, by law, custom, and the two systems agreement, Hong Kongers are entitled to the rights they had before Hong Kong came under Chinese authority, including the right to peaceably assemble, and …
Taking care of Islam
Every US intervention against Islam backfires. Progressives believe that all religions, rightly understood, are Progressivism. Viewed as a cynical lie, it is working pretty well. They actually are reasonably successful at remaking Islam into progressivism. Unfortunately, it is not entirely a cynical lie. It is also sincerely held insanity. It is quite difficult for the Cathedral to do entirely cynical lies. Their stock in trade is not lies, but delusions. …
#gamergate
Social Justice Warriors believe that all people were created equal. Kind of obviously, people are not equal. Very few video games were created by women, and those games are crap. If people are not equal, it must be due to the evil magic of thought criminals thinking thought crimes. Social Justice Warriors therefore convict the broad mass of gamers as thought criminals, whose evil thoughts are magically causing magical harm, …
Nazism and antisemitism is PC
Observe that now that 4chan has been totally taken over by social justice warriors, you can still say “nigger nigger kike kike” all day long on 4chan, you can say that Hitler did not kill the Jews but he should have, but you cannot criticize social justice warriors, feminists, trannies, and so forth on 4chan. Correction: After they purged the anti feminists etc, then they came for people saying kike …
