In the reactivity place, one of the commenters asks: Who speaks for reaction? To which the host replies: Nature… or Nature’s God… or both In other words, the unifying factor among reactionaries of all diverse kinds is The Dark Enlightenment.
On Formalism
Radish has classified me as a formalist, presumably on the basis that I think that the government should actually be in charge of the public service and the top universities, and that professors and senior public servants should be fireable for any reason and no reason, and should do as they are told.
On Sovereignty
Mencius Moldbug has argued that Sovereignty is conserved – meaning that constitutions are ultimately worthless, there will always be a sovereign, and nothing can stop the sovereign from doing what he likes, government cannot bind itself
The next official belief system
I wish we could have separation of information and state, but that is impractical, short of the abolition of the state altogether, short of anarchy or anarcho capitalism. Official truth is too useful to the state, and the state too useful for ideologies seeking to be official. This is apt to result in a positive feedback loop, power manufacturing belief, and belief manufacturing power, each ever more extreme. After they …
Game, Dark Enlightenment, and Reaction
You will notice that the Pick Up Artist Community and the Christian Reactionary movement get along mighty well, despite the fact that Heartiste claims to be a minion of Satan, and despite the fact that they are in total disagreement about ultimate ends. The thesis that Game works is logically equivalent to what used to be the right wing view of women, before the right became the left that is …
All your skypes belong to Microsoft
All Your Skype Are Belong To Us Microsoft is reading everything you write Skype used to be the most secure instant messaging system and I have frequently recommended it on this basis. Microsoft, under Bill Gates, used to be the big company most willing to protect user’s privacy. Skype was recently purchased by Microsoft. Heise Security then reproduced the events by sending two test HTTPS URLs, one containing login information …
The ideological cause of the Benghazi bungles
When Pizarro hit the Incas, they just could not see him unless he got in their faces and started poking swords into them. They could not see him, because they could not believe in him. The attack on the Benghazi embassy was not a terrorist attack. It was a conventional military operation by the uniformed and well equipped troops of an organization that frequently engages in terrorist attacks. They used …
Mestizos and National Wealth
Conservatives are fleeing the evil witch and horrible heretic Jason Richwine. Richwine pointed out what everyone knows, but no one can say: That mestizos are genetically low intelligence, and that importing a low intelligence underclass will cost Americans a lot of money, and that this underclass, even if, unlike blacks, they really want to assimilate, can never assimilate, and will forever resent their failure to assimilate, forever blaming it on …
Even more evidence that women should never have been emancipated
Heartiste finds even more evidence that women should never have been emancipated.
On what used to be called marriage
On what used to be called marriage back in the days before marriage was something disgusting that gays did to épater les bourgeois. My personal observation is that every successful marriage is quietly and furtively eighteenth century, so thoroughly politically incorrect as to be illegal. And a little reflection reveals that the New Testament/eighteenth century form of marriage, in which both parties give consent to sex once and forever, and the …
