And another one bites the dust

The American empire, aka anti American Empire, aka The international community, aka rule by rootless childless cosmopolitans with no future and no past, is in retreat.

Having lost Russia, Poland, Hungary, and Philippines, it just took another body blow in Australia.

A shark has to keep swimming, or it will drown, and the ever increasing holiness of the left has to keep knocking over new applecarts, or else there will be no apples rolling around for ambitious leftist to pick up.

They never stop; they only pause to re-group and change strategy. They can’t stop.

The Trump like Australian Prime minister Tony Abbot decisively stopped illegal immigration, (Zero illegal arrivals since 2014, yes, zero. You read that correctly. Zero.) and busted near every illegal visa overstay and violation of visa conditions, as near to all of them as makes no difference

Leftism had to start advancing in Australia on another front, on something other than white genocide. They dithered between expanding legal immigration as a slower route to white genocide, and smashing western civilization by rolling back the industrial revolution. And eventually coalesced on smashing western civilization, rolling back the industrial revolution.

Western civilization depends on concentrated and reliable energy sources, power on tap. Which means carbon or nuclear.

Nuclear was stopped primarily the way NASA was stopped, by putting stupid people in charge. It is not apparent that fusion power would be workable even with smart people in charge, but to be on the safe side, they put stupid people in charge of developing thermonuclear as well. The big vulnerability of nuclear power is not the imaginary evils of nuclear power (The long term effect of Chernobyl was the deaths of at most nine people outside the power plant outer fence) it is that you need smart people in charge of nuclear power. It is easy to disrupt cooperation between smart people by inserting stupid people.

The objective of the global warming scam is to stop carbon power, coal and oil.

And the left decided that was the front it would advance on in Australia was, instead of eradicating the white race. Expanding legal immigration had some success, but legal means that the numbers are known, and political pushback likely to be effective.

South Australia, and to a lesser extent Queensland, proceeded to smash their energy industries at the state level, but for any one Australian state to destroy its energy industry has limited effect if energy using businesses can flee to other states, and if energy can be imported through the grid from one state to another. For the policy to be effective, has to be federally implemented.

The Australian federal Prime minister bowed to pressure and introduced an “energy security” plan, which would have provided energy security the way that Lucy was going to hold the football for Charlie Brown. The real intent of the Global Warming scam was revealed in South Australia, where the South Australian state government did to South Australia what Obama did to flyover country.

With the “energy security plan” it became obvious that greenies would absolutely never accept any compromise that left Western high tech civilization viable, that any attempt compromise with greenies would end with a result that would do to the Australian economy what it damn near did to the South Australian economy.

Turnbull, the Australian Prime Minister, proceeded to “compromise” with those who will never compromise, with the result that he failed to compromise with the substantial sane and decent faction of his own party.  No carbon program that does not radically disrupt our comfortable modern lifestyles and throw large numbers of people out of work is going to be acceptable to the left.

And so, he got thrown out and Scott Morrison became Australian Prime minister on a program of not destroying the energy industry, and still not allowing illegal immigration. No word yet on what he is going to do about alarming levels of legal immigration, but did I mention that they are alarming, and voters are becoming alarmed.

The shark is not drowning yet, still has white replacement going through legal immigration, but this latest is causing it major trouble breathing, and we are seeing calls for a color revolution against Australia.  Australia has not decisively left the empire yet, the way Poland and the Philippines have, but this has become a very real possibility:

Scott Morrison may well cuck on Green (unreliable) energy, and may well cuck on legal immigration.  Maybe he will get subverted the way Abbot was, but that his predecessor got thrown out for cucking on unreliable energy on top of cucking on legal immigration is a very good sign.

Current strategy is to overthrow Scott Morrison by fully legitimate and constitutional means, should he fail to cuck out, but that will likely prove difficult, whereupon constitutionality will likely get seriously stretched, the way that efforts to impeach Trump have seriously stretched constitutionality in the US.

The South Australian energy industry was looted in the course of being destroyed, and I expect that the federal destruction of the Australian energy industry would have provided a whole lot of loot for leftists. That they are not going to get this loot, at least not by peaceful, constitutional, and democratic means, is a major body blow. They were expecting another apple cart, and that cart is not falling – this is has had an immediate and obvious effect on their motivation and capability to generate political pressure.

The more stuff leftists knock over, the more loot for leftists, the more leftist activism you get. Conversely, when the expected gold rush fails to eventuate, you get loss of left wing morale and energy.

As leftism goes ever lefter, you have more people seeking holiness jobs, which means that ever larger apple carts have to be knocked over at ever shorter intervals. The shark cannot stop swimming, and will do whatever it takes to keep on swimming. And it is going to take measures that increasing collapse constitutional legitimacy and peaceful relations between nations, leading to internal war, external war, or both. Notice that when the color revolution in Libya failed, the state department turned spectacularly murderous and destructive, and that when the color revolution in Syria failed, it turned genocidal.

Expect, therefore, the unexpected.  As the arc of history bends ever more to indiscriminate, destructive, and malicious evil, it encounters more resistance.  One might expect that this will result in stability at some tolerable level of evil.  This stabilization has never happened in the past and is unlikely to happen in the future.  What happens instead is what we see happening in the US.  The left escalates, drifting closer to war internal and external.

    Burning oil is much like burning paper money. Which was clear enough back in XIX century.
    But let’s not forget the one carbohydrate fuel naturally produced quickly and in vast quantities: methane. Yes, it’s inconvenient for cars, but it’s fine for almost everything big and/or stationary.
    It looks like methane power development was in a better shape 30 years ago.
    Then it got “protected” by the Church of Energiewende, received more subsidies and… “somehow” have been corrupted into a pustulant sore.
    The result stinks (literally and profusely):

    • Dave says:

      Methane (and also coal) can be converted to methanol and used to power automobiles, albeit at a lower MPG. Bob Zubrin had a good idea: Require all new cars to accept gasoline, ethanol, methanol, or any mixture thereof. Gives us plenty of liquid fuel for the next thousand years without taking arable land away from food production.

      • jim says:

        dimethyl ether can be made by any process that makes methanol, costs about the same, has higher energy density, properties similar to liquified petroleum gas, and makes a clean burning diesel fuel.

        Best system would be two stroke turbocharged diesel running on dimethyl ether. High efficiency, very high power to engine weight ratio, and clean burning.

        • Cloudswrest says:

          Looks like dimethyl ether has a boiling point very similar to R12. I wonder how stable it is in a refrigeration system. The current automotive R12 substitutes are anhydrous propane/butane blends. But since these blends are not azeotropes the ratio changes over time as the more volatile propane leaks out faster.

      • peppermint says:

        Ethanol absorbs water, which means certain materians can’t be used in engines, and is hard to manufacture anyway.

  4. Cohen says:

    It’s okay to rape shiksas, we are chosen, and they are sub-human, so I hope the rest of you enjoy the following account, as much as I did

    And I have no doubt that you will:

    “A German woman has her jaws forced open by the filthy brutish hands of a Soviet serial rapist. He literally spits into her mouth and forces her to swallow his salivary filth as he rams her body again . . . and again . . . and again – until he’s satisfied fulfilling his oath to Stalin and his chief Holocaust propagandist, (((Ilya Ehrenburg)))

    Stalin officially sanctioned the systematic rape of German women. (((Ilya Ehrenburg))) for his part as the lascivious advocator of rape of German women, helped the Red Army perpetrate the largest gynocide and mass rape in recorded history.

    Commissar Ehrenburg’s pamphlet — distributed in the millions among Red Army troops on the front lines of battle who were already intoxicated with hate and vengefulness as a result of over two decades of Bolshevik oppression, mass murder of their families and mass collectivization — urged Soviet troops to plunder, rape and KILL.

    The final paragraph of his pamphlet entitled “Kill” reads:

    The Germans are not human beings. From now on, the word ‘German’ is the most horrible curse. From now on, the word ‘German’ strikes us to the quick. We have nothing to discuss. We will not get excited. We will kill. If you have not killed at least one German a day, you have wasted that day… If you cannot kill a German with a bullet, then kill him with your bayonet. If your part of the front is quiet and there is no fighting, then kill a German in the meantime…If you have already killed a German, then kill another one — there is nothing more amusing to us than a heap of German corpses. Don’t count the days, don’t count the kilometers. Count only one thing: the number of Germans you have killed.

    Kill the Germans!…

    — Kill the Germans!

    Kill!

    And in another leaflet:

    The Germans must be killed. One must kill them…Do you feel sick? Do you feel a nightmare in your breast?…Kill a German! If you are a righteous and conscientious man –

    kill a German!

    . . . Kill!

    From eight to eighty, healthy or ill, indoors or out, in fields, on sidewalks, against walls, the spiritual massacre of German women continued unabated. When even violated corpses could no longer be of use, sticks, iron bars, and telephone receivers were commonly rammed up their vaginas.

    Brazilian German Leonora Cavoa:

    “Suddenly I heard loud screams, and immediately two Red Army soldiers brought in five girls. The Commissar ordered them to undress. When they refused out of modesty, he ordered me to do it to them, and for all of us to follow him. We crossed the yard to the former works kitchen, which had been completely cleared out except for a few tables on the window side. It was terribly cold, and the poor girls shivered. In the large, tiled room some Russians were waiting for us, making remarks that must have been very obscene, judging from how everything they said drew gales of laughter. The Commissar told me to watch and learn how to turn the Master Race into whimpering bits of misery.”

    . . . Now two Poles came in, dressed only in their trousers, and the girls cried out at their sight. They quickly grabbed the first of the girls, and bent her backwards over the edge of the table until her joints cracked. I was close to passing out as one of them took his knife and, before the very eyes of the other girls, cut off her right breast. He paused for a moment, then cut off the other side. I have never heard anyone scream as desperately as that girl. After this operation he drove his knife into her abdomen several times, which again was accompanied by the cheers of the Russians.”

    Leonora:

    The next girl cried for mercy, but in vain—it even seemed that the gruesome deed was done particularly slowly because she was especially pretty. The other three had collapsed, they cried for their mothers and begged for a quick death, but the same fate awaited them as well. The last of them was still almost a child, with barely developed breasts. They literally tore the flesh off her ribs until the white bones showed.

    Loud howls of approval began when someone brought a saw from a tool chest. This was used to tear up the breasts of the other girls, which soon caused the floor to be awash in blood. The Russians were in a blood frenzy. More girls were being brought in continually.

    I saw these grisly proceedings as through a red haze.

    Leonora tried to dissociate from the situation, which is one of the brain’s foremost methods for dealing with psychological and physical trauma. But to no avail, the Russian and Polish “soldiers” disallowed it.

    . . . Over and over again I heard the terrible screams when the breasts were tortured, and the loud groans at the mutilation of the genitals. . . . [I]t was always the same, the begging for mercy, the high-pitched scream when the breasts were cut and the groans when the genitals were mutilated. The slaughter was interrupted several times to sweep the blood out of the room and clear away the bodies. . . . When my knees buckled I was forced onto a chair. The Commissar always made sure that I was watching, and when I had to throw up they even paused in their tortures. One girl had not undressed completely, she may also have been a little older than the others, who were around seventeen years of age. They soaked her bra with oil and set it on fire, and while she screamed, a thin iron rod was shoved into her vagina . . .

    . . . until it came out her navel.

    In the yard entire groups of girls were clubbed to death after the prettiest of them had been selected for this torture. The air was filled with the death cries of many hundred girls”

    Play it again Sam!

            Here’s a little parting thought for you minty… your judeo-sceptic mind is ready but will your pro-capitalist module rebel?

            Wonga went into administration today in Britain. They were a payday loans company, offering short term, usually fairly small, loans to people without prejudice to their credit history, at a rate of 1% per day plus a small fee. They’ve been losing a lot of money for a long time.

            Anyway the founder was a guy called Errol Damelin. He was born in Sud Afrika. When he was at university there, he was involved in subversive left-wing activism, contributing in a probably fairly small way to the fall of the Boere government and the institution of Bantu-invader communist rule. Wikipedia says he had ‘many leadership positions’ within the student union.

            Upon graduating he left his (cough) homeland to emigrate to Israel before going back to university in Boston (where else!) before picking his victim: the British working class.
            He then moved to London and carried out his campaign of mass usury.

              But you are not telling us to outgroup Jews. You are telling us to outgroup capitalists – who are disproportionately our own race, sex, and religion.

              Georges Sorel tells Frenchmen: “Hail fellow Nationalist Frenchmen. I am a patriotic nationalist frenchman also. Let us outgroup capitalists. Right. Then we ingroup anti capitalists. It is the patriotic French thing to do, because I am French, french, french nationalist, nationalist. Me French Nationalist.”

              And then it turns out that Georges Sorel is a Bolshevik tool, a tool of people who hate France, hate Frenchmen, hate nationalism, hate nationalists, and intend to harm France and Frenchmen. And the Bolsheviks, being Russian, want Frenchmen to outgroup each other.

    Jim’s Blog: Bastion of Pedophilia Normalization

    Jim (in his own words): “Women are quite agreeable to being made to have sex. They prefer it that way. Resistance is a shit test, and they are turned on by being overpowered. So we need to make it the law that the man that they should have sex with, their husband, the father of their children, gets to overpower them.”

    Standard (((PUA))) nonsense, here justifying marital rape. Nothing warps one’s mind worse than Jew-invented, anti-woman, anti-White, “Pick-Up Artistry.” It’s one of the least healthy scams the Jews have ever concocted, and the Jews sure do know something about unhealthy scams.

    Jim (in his own words) “If a girl has boobs, chances are she can get pregnant. If a girl has menarche, can probably get pregnant. If she can get pregnant, sexually mature.

    Reality also is that they are often disturbingly keen on sex even at age ten, even before sexual maturity. Girls that are keen on sex before menarche and boob development are a minority, but they are a very large minority. Girls that are sexually mature at twelve, have menarche at twelve and have boobs that dramatically advertise this fact, are also a large minority, possibly a majority.

    And should be married off to young men who are starting their careers, because otherwise there is a very high likelyhood that they are going to seduce the first male they encounter who plausibly seems high alpha – who is likely an affluent mature adult male with an adult girlfriend, a mistress, and a wife.”

    In other words, claims (((pedo Jim))), if he finds an underage child sexually attractive, he should have the right to violate her. Otherwise, warns he, she herself will go around seducing married men. That’s actually the argument.

          Welcome, Nazi. We are well-immunized to your farcical beta cuckery w/r/t to the Woman Question; we may colonize your brain with our mind worms or not, but yours will not find purchase here.

          The Party line is this: late virgin marriage and the present age of consent laws, 15-18 varying on the state in particular, is perfectly fine… for men. Unfortunately, women, being substantially less evolved than men, find it quite disagreeable. Therefore, they must be switched into line until married, at which point, to maximize their Benthamian utility, they bear a moral imperative to bear early and often to ensure the surthrival of the race.

          For a more erudite perspective on what was once and will be again, please refer to this following passage from the greatest science fiction writer:

          I found myself mulling over a discussion in our class in History and Moral Philosophy. Mr. Dubois was talking about the disorders that preceded the breakup of the North American republic, back in the XXth century.

          According to him, there was a time just before they went down the drain when such crimes as Dillinger’s were as common as dogfights. The Terror had not been just in North America — Russia and the British Isles had it, too, as well as other places. But it reached its peak in North America shortly before things went to pieces.

          “Law-abiding people,” Dubois had told us, “hardly dared go into a public park at night. To do so was to risk attack by wolf packs of children, armed with chains, knives, homemade guns, bludgeons… to be hurt at least, robbed most certainly, injured for life probably — or even killed.

          This went on for years, right up to the war between the Russo-Anglo-American Alliance and the Chinese Hegemony. Murder, drug addiction, larceny, assault, and vandalism were commonplace. Nor were parks the only places — these things happened also on the streets in daylight, on school grounds, even inside school buildings. But parks were so notoriously unsafe that honest people stayed clear of them after dark.”

          I had tried to imagine such things happening in our schools. I simply couldn’t. Nor in our parks. A park was a place for fun, not for getting hurt. As for getting killed in one — “Mr. Dubois, didn’t they have police? Or courts?”

          “They had many more police than we have. And more courts. All overworked.”

          “I guess I don’t get it.” If a boy in our city had done anything half that bad… well, he and his father would have been flogged side by side.

          But such things just didn’t happen.

          Mr. Dubois then demanded of me, “Define a ‘juvenile delinquent.’ ”

          “Uh, one of those kids — the ones who used to beat up people.”

          “Wrong.”

          “Huh? But the book said — ”

          “My apologies. Your textbook does so state. But calling a tail a leg does not make the name fit ‘Juvenile delinquent’ is a contradiction in terms, one which gives a clue to their problem and their failure to solve it. Have you ever raised a puppy?”

          “Yes, sir.”

          “Did you housebreak him?”

          “Err… yes, sir. Eventually.” It was my slowness in this that caused my mother to rule that dogs must stay out of the house.

          “Ah, yes. When your puppy made mistakes, were you angry?”

          “What? Why, he didn’t know any better; he was just a puppy.

          “What did you do?”

          “Why, I scolded him and rubbed his nose in it and paddled him.”

          “Surely he could not understand your words?”

          “No, but he could tell I was sore at him!”

          “But you just said that you were not angry.”

          Mr. Dubois had an infuriating way of getting a person mixed up. “No, but I had to make him think I was. He had to learn, didn’t he?”

          “Conceded. But, having made it clear to him that you disapproved, how could you be so cruel as to spank him as well? You said the poor beastie didn’t know that he was doing wrong. Yet you indicted pain. Justify yourself! Or are you a sadist?”

          I didn’t then know what a sadist was — but I knew pups. “Mr. Dubois, you have to! You scold him so that he knows he’s in trouble, you rub his nose in it so that he will know what trouble you mean, you paddle him so that he darn well won’t do it again — and you have to do it right away! It doesn’t do a bit of good to punish him later; you’ll just confuse him. Even so, he won’t learn from one lesson, so you watch and catch him again and paddle him still harder. Pretty soon he learns. But it’s a waste of breath just to scold him.” Then I added, “I guess you’ve never raised pups.”

          “Many. I’m raising a dachshund now — by your methods. Let’s get back to those juvenile criminals. The most vicious averaged somewhat younger than you here in this class… and they often started their lawless careers much younger. Let us never forget that puppy. These children were often caught; police arrested batches each day. Were they scolded? Yes, often scathingly. Were their noses rubbed in it? Rarely. News organs and officials usually kept their names secret — in many places the law so required for criminals under eighteen. Were they spanked? Indeed not! Many had never been spanked even as small children; there was a widespread belief that spanking, or any punishment involving pain, did a child permanent psychic damage.”

          (I had reflected that my father must never have heard of that theory.)

          “Corporal punishment in schools was forbidden by law,” he had gone on.

          “Flogging was lawful as sentence of court only in one small province, Delaware, and there only for a few crimes and was rarely invoked; it was regarded as ‘cruel and unusual punishment.’ ” Dubois had mused aloud, “I do not understand objections to ‘cruel and unusual’ punishment. While a judge should be benevolent in purpose, his awards should cause the criminal to suffer, else there is no punishment — and pain is the basic mechanism built into us by millions of years of evolution which safeguards us by warning when something threatens our survival. Why should society refuse to use such a highly perfected survival mechanism? However, that period was loaded with pre-scientific pseudo-psychological nonsense.

          “As for ‘unusual,’ punishment must be unusual or it serves no purpose.” He then pointed his stump at another boy. “What would happen if a puppy were spanked every hour?”

          “Uh… probably drive him crazy!”

          “Probably. It certainly will not teach him anything. How long has it been since the principal of this school last had to switch a pupil?”

          “Uh, I’m not sure. About two years. The kid that swiped — ”

          “Never mind. Long enough. It means that such punishment is so unusual as to be significant, to deter, to instruct. Back to these young criminals — They probably were not spanked as babies; they certainly were not flogged for their crimes. The usual sequence was: for a first offense, a warning — a scolding, often without trial. After several offenses a sentence of confinement but with sentence suspended and the youngster placed on probation. A boy might be arrested many times and convicted several times before he was punished — and then it would be merely confinement, with others like him from whom he learned still more criminal habits. If he kept out of major trouble while confined, he could usually evade most of even that mild punishment, be given probation — ‘paroled’ in the jargon of the times.

          “This incredible sequence could go on for years while his crimes increased in frequency and viciousness, with no punishment whatever save rare dull-but-comfortable confinements. Then suddenly, usually by law on his eighteenth birthday, this so-called ‘juvenile delinquent’ becomes an adult criminal — and sometimes wound up in only weeks or months in a death cell awaiting execution for murder. You — ”

          He had singled me out again. “Suppose you merely scolded your puppy, never punished him, let him go on making messes in the house… and occasionally locked him up in an outbuilding but soon let him back into the house with a warning not to do it again. Then one day you notice that he is now a grown dog and still not housebroken — whereupon you whip out a gun and shoot him dead. Comment, please?”

          “Why… that’s the craziest way to raise a dog I ever heard of!”

          “I agree. Or a child. Whose fault would it be?”

          “Uh… why, mine, I guess.”

          “Again I agree. But I’m not guessing.”

          “Mr. Dubois,” a girl blurted out, “but why? Why didn’t they spank little kids when they needed it and use a good dose of the strap on any older ones who deserved it — the sort of lesson they wouldn’t forget! I mean ones who did things really bad. Why not?”

          “I don’t know,” he had answered grimly, “except that the time-tested method of instilling social virtue and respect for law in the minds of the young did not appeal to a pre-scientific pseudo-professional class who called themselves ‘social workers’ or sometimes ‘child psychologists.’ It was too simple for them, apparently, since anybody could do it, using only the patience and firmness needed in training a puppy. I have sometimes wondered if they cherished a vested interest in disorder — but that is unlikely; adults almost always act from conscious ‘highest motives’ no matter what their behavior.”

          “But — good heavens!” the girl answered. “I didn’t like being spanked any more than any kid does, but when I needed it, my mama delivered. The only time I ever got a switching in school I got another one when I got home and that was years and years ago. I don’t ever expect to be hauled up in front of a judge and sentenced to a flogging; you behave yourself and such things don’t happen. I don’t see anything wrong with our system; it’s a lot better than not being able to walk outdoors for fear of your life — why, that’s horrible!”

          “I agree. Young lady, the tragic wrongness of what those well-meaning people did, contrasted with what they thought they were doing, goes very deep. They had no scientific theory of morals. They did have a theory of morals and they tried to live by it (I should not have sneered at their motives) but their theory was wrong — half of it fuzzy-headed wishful thinking, half of it rationalized charlatanry. The more earnest they were, the farther it led them astray. You see, they assumed that Man has a moral instinct.”

          “Sir? But I thought — But he does! I have.”

          “No, my dear, you have a cultivated conscience, a most carefully trained one. Man has no moral instinct. He is not born with moral sense. You were not born with it, I was not — and a puppy has none. We acquire moral sense, when we do, through training, experience, and hard sweat of the mind.

          These unfortunate juvenile criminals were born with none, even as you and I, and they had no chance to acquire any; their experiences did not permit it. What is ‘moral sense’? It is an elaboration of the instinct to survive. The instinct to survive is human nature itself, and every aspect of our personalities derives from it. Anything that conflicts with the survival instinct acts sooner or later to eliminate the individual and thereby fails to show up in future generations. This truth is mathematically demonstrable, everywhere verifiable; it is the single eternal imperative controlling everything we do.”

          “But the instinct to survive,” he had gone on, “can be cultivated into motivations more subtle and much more complex than the blind, brute urge of the individual to stay alive. Young lady, what you miscalled your ‘moral instinct’ was the instilling in you by your elders of the truth that survival can have stronger imperatives than that of your own personal survival. Survival of your family, for example. Of your children, when you have them. Of your nation, if you struggle that high up the scale. And so on up. A scientifically verifiable theory of morals must be rooted in the individual’s instinct to survive — and nowhere else! — and must correctly describe the hierarchy of survival, note the motivations at each level, and resolve all conflicts.”

          “We have such a theory now; we can solve any moral problem, on any level. Self-interest, love of family, duty to country, responsibility toward the human race — we are even developing an exact ethic for extra-human relations. But all moral problems can be illustrated by one misquotation: ‘Greater love hath no man than a mother cat dying to defend her kittens.’ Once you understand the problem facing that cat and how she solved it, you will then be ready to examine yourself and learn how high up the moral ladder you are capable of climbing.

          “These juvenile criminals hit a low level. Born with only the instinct for survival, the highest morality they achieved was a shaky loyalty to a peer group, a street gang. But the do-gooders attempted to ‘appeal to their better natures,’ to ‘reach them,’ to ‘spark their moral sense.’ Tosh! They had no ‘better natures’; experience taught them that what they were doing was the way to survive. The puppy never got his spanking; therefore what he did with pleasure and success must be ‘moral.’

          “The basis of all morality is duty, a concept with the same relation to group that self-interest has to individual. Nobody preached duty to these kids in a way they could understand — that is, with a spanking. But the society they were in told them endlessly about their ‘rights.’ ”

          “The results should have been predictable, since a human being has no natural rights of any nature.”

          Mr. Dubois had paused. Somebody took the bait. “Sir? How about ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’?”

          “Ah, yes, the ‘unalienable rights.’ Each year someone quotes that magnificent poetry. Life? What ‘right’ to life has a man who is drowning in the Pacific? The ocean will not hearken to his cries. What ‘right’ to life has a man who must die if he is to save his children? If he chooses to save his own life, does he do so as a matter of ‘right’? If two men are starving and cannibalism is the only alternative to death, which man’s right is ‘unalienable’? And is it ‘right’? As to liberty, the heroes who signed that great document pledged themselves to buy liberty with their lives. Liberty is never unalienable; it must be redeemed regularly with the blood of patriots or it always vanishes. Of all the so-called ‘natural human rights’ that have ever been invented, liberty is least likely to be cheap and is never free of cost.

          “The third ‘right’? — the ‘pursuit of happiness’? It is indeed unalienable but it is not a right; it is simply a universal condition which tyrants cannot take away nor patriots restore. Cast me into a dungeon, burn me at the stake, crown me king of kings, I can ‘pursue happiness’ as long as my brain lives — but neither gods nor saints, wise men nor subtle drugs, can insure that I will catch it.”

          Mr. Dubois then turned to me. “I told you that ‘juvenile delinquent’ is a contradiction in terms. ‘Delinquent’ means ‘failing in duty.’ But duty is an adult virtue — indeed a juvenile becomes an adult when, and only when, he acquires a knowledge of duty and embraces it as dearer than the self-love he was born with. There never was, there cannot be a ‘juvenile delinquent.’ But for every juvenile criminal there are always one or more adult delinquents — people of mature years who either do not know their duty, or who, knowing it, fail.”

          “And that was the soft spot which destroyed what was in many ways an admirable culture. The junior hoodlums who roamed their streets were symptoms of a greater sickness; their citizens (all of them counted as such) glorified their mythology of ‘rights’… and lost track of their duties. No nation, so constituted, can endure.”

They married earlier and had far more children, the most well-adapted children being those who matured earliest.

He was never quite in favor of monarchy but there is no strong indication he was opposed either. He was certainly opposed to universal suffrage Democracy.

                  I’d like to reiterate my question on early arranged marriage vs late virgin. The former would be easy to impose the latter would be exceedingly difficult (and was only ever really for aristocrats outside the Muslim world and a few mountain tribes). Why not throw all support to the former and abandon the latter.

                  You need purdah to make late virgin marriages work with commoners and we’re just not going to do that.. the will isn’t really there at any level.

                • Roberto says:

                  At the very least, marrying off women aged 10 to 15 should not be outside the Overton Window, should not be taboo; Reaction does not need to demand it, but must not denounce it either.

                  In other words, if you can afford late virgin marriage, then go ahead and have that.

                  But if, like most hominids, one is not evolutionarily programmed for that — if one’s genes urgently command one to “Breed!” once one hits puberty — then one should have the option available to breed maritally rather than resorting to extramarital sex.

                  The problem with modern materialism, which CR totally fails to articulate, is not that it detracts people away from some or other transcendental ideals; just the opposite: excessive comfort drives people to search for high-flown ideals to give themselves a potent dose of “feelgood,” which is why comfy people are so self-deluded about everything. The end result is moralism and “moralsturbatory” behavior, if you pardon the portmanteau.

                  In my view, Reaction should not seek to eliminate affluence a la CR, but should find a way to keep the people, and especially the elites, busy with a worldly mission that would leave them no time and no energy to search for faggy transcendental ideals.

                  Perhaps the colonization of space needs to be explicitly on the NRx agenda and become an essential component of the New Religion. In order to colonize space, need people — and high IQ people in particular — to breed; if you want people to breed, need to do away with “moralsturbation.”

                  If I were King, instead of banning pizza and cake, I’d impose an incremental Space Tax, which would be very heavy on childless people (who are usually holier-than-thou) and minimal on people with 8+ children. So as a citizen, you either help fund the National Space Program with your shekels or else provide human material to build it.

                  I’d also abolish all legislation post-1820, and make it a crime (blasphemy perhaps) to promote “feelgood morality.” This would ensure that competent people who can contribute to my National Space Program don’t end up in prison for offending the comfy morality of white knights. Right now, a lot of human potential is maliciously wasted because males are sent to prison for possessing “too much” testosterone and acting on it; this needs to change.

                  Or, people in Reaction will continue to pat themselves on the back for being “K-selected” while sniffing their own feelgood farts while civilization burns.

                  Seconded. Humanity must improve itself and expand off world. Any NRx’s who haven’t read Pournelle’s old blog a lot (Chaos Manor) should.

                  There should not be some huge tax increase though, space advances are best made by offering massive prize money. An NRx regime would eliminate so much wasteful spending (and probably debt by imposing a non debt based monetary system) that tax increases to fund this would not be necessary.

                  With virtually no unowned women, no mandatory public education beyond basics and minimal fatherless children social spending would drop an order of magnitude. More then enough to get us to the stars as fast as possible probably with a decrease in taxes.

                Late virgin marriage requires a level of coercion and violence against women that moderns find hard to imagine. Eighteenth century England made the Taliban look like fat blue haired lesbian feminists, and made Boko Haram look softhearted.

                This is why people keep calling me a pedophile, because they refuse to see how women are in fact behaving, and will inevitably behave unless quite forcefully restrained.

              • The Cominator says:

                Jim is right about the level of coercion it takes for late virgin marriage.

Obesity is more common because it’s socially acceptable, fat acceptance is largely pushed by the Cathedral. To fix the problem just have the Cathedral emphasize the importance of health and good looks. Culture is downstream from power and people are already naturally repulsed by obesity so it wouldn’t even be that difficult.

He’s generally right about race and the effects of diversity on social cohesion, but he singlemindedly looks at every issue as a racial issue and downplays very important factors like women, class and religion. Eg he thinks Merkel is importing millions of migrants to destroy Germany because she’s partly Jewish when it’s really because she’s a childless old woman.

                  And neither one of them can validly critique NRx because they don’t even understand it. Mike’s take on Moldbug is that “he just hates democracy because he’s a Jew afraid of the goyim uprising”. And it’s not very “restorationist” to align yourself with racist liberals who just want to go back 70 or 80 years (if that) against reactionaries who want to back 350 years.

Despite appearances, everything that has gone wrong in the West must be the work of scheming usurers and moneyed interests in top hats straight out of a Soviet cartoon.

      You Nazis will not ruin the reaction the way you destroyed the alt right. “X is the work of the kikes, and if you doubt this, you are a kike” is the only thing approaching a holiness spiral I’ve seen circulating in the resurrected right-wing of the internet, and even so it has been very effective in inducing mass hysteria among otherwise normal, sensible and interesting people.

                It’s the old Jared Diamond argument from many kingdoms, one of the few wacky Marxist tropes libertarians agree with.

                The centralisation-decentralisation argument is far from settled. Diamond et al would point to China as an example of how large centralised states pass stupid laws (banning guns and seafaring for example) and these have larger effects than they would have had had China been a hundred smaller kingdoms with diverse legislatures.
                Ironically Lew Rockwell would agree 100% with this: let the pinkos have their commune over there and we’ll have our ancap paradise over here next door to our #1 trading partners the Rod Dreher commune. Corporations will serve the needs of all these places but won’t attempt to influence their direction in order to homogenise, standardise and increase margins….because….. reasons

                Even Moldbug falls for it in “Patchwork”: there will be failed states and hellholes but the competition between SovCorps means you’ll be able to go somewhere lush and futuristic and the financial incentive for boards of directors will be to attract foot-votes by being awesome. Again there’ll be no possibility of a push by the people selling the food, keeping the lights on or handling the money to promote an agenda that better suits *them*, because….. reasons

                Now is it the case that Germany and Italy ended up in a worse state after becoming more centralised? This could be argued, but it’s association-as-causation: you could argue that technology causes envy-socialism on the same grounds, but I assume most of us wouldn’t take that idea very seriously at all.

                Why did Italy suddenly want to centralise? Can it really be ‘nationalism’ to unite the Two Sicilies with Sardinia and Bologna? Wouldn’t it be more like ‘nationalism’ to sing “E Signuruzzu mia, faciti bon tempu”?

              Modern nationalists aren’t libertarians – in fact when we look at what libertarianism has achieved, we’re anti-libertarian.
              When we look at the English countryside, it speaks to us in an English accent, and when we look at the towns and sealines of Albania, they speak to us in Albanian and in an Albanian accent.
              We like that. We’re not burning with a desire to go and physically touch Albania but we can love it from afar as Schumann loved Persia from afar.
              (We also love Persia and there’s a lot to love about the current year Iran as well – it may not be for us, and we have no wish to ‘blend’ with them, but as a Ding an sich, Iran is doing more right than wrong.)

      No that is not the argument. You cannot hear the the argument because you cannot bear to hear crimethought.

      The argument is that women are dangerously and disruptively lustful, and need to be kept under control, often starting at a very early age. Most males fail to notice this, because they are brainwashed against noticing what is in front of their noses, and because hypergamy means that women don’t lust for, or even notice, the vast majority of males.

        Jim’s position is the position that will result in the lowest number of girls having early sexual relations.

  6. Carlylean Restorationist says:

    The trouble with the current conversation is everyone’s talking about the supply side.
    Everything Jim says here is true: unreliable energy requires more infrastructure, which under globohomo means ever more auditors, regulators and administrators, all with armies of mouths to feed and empires to grow. Any time a middle management post becomes redundant and leaves someone impossible to promote away, a new middle management post has to be created, generally at higher pay, to accommodate them. Too many Indians who think they’re Chiefs but don’t want the responsibility of actually Chiefing.

    But the answer isn’t just to shrug our shoulders and watch as the energy security of future centuries gets dragged into the present in one huge Misesian misallocation across time.

    Leave the supply side alone, yes, absolutely.

    The thing to address though is the demand side. These air flights have to stop. These entertainments – big festivals and rock concerts with flood lighting and huge speakers; this culture of consumption, from endless dinners out to clothing thrown away out of boredom; from new sofas for a change to kitchens ripped out, land-filled and replaced as a sign of wealth.

    Wealth is not consumption. Wealth is accumulation of capital. Consumption is at best a side effect. A libertarian will tell you consumption is the goal of production but it needn’t be: we *could* have production, saving and capital accumulation *without* hedonistic-nihilistic boredom-stemming entertainments and whimsies.

    The energy will run out eventually – not any time soon and not next century either, but that would’ve been a no comfort message had Newton or Da Vinci said it. We need to think big: the next millennium and beyond.

    No more mindless construction for comfort and displays of waste. We’re not savages so we don’t need a potlatch to reassure ourselves that we done good.

        In the real world, especially at the moment, but even in a sane society, tech solutions are a fair way off, whereas reducing consumption is the easiest thing in the world. It doesn’t HAVE to be the case that someone working minimum wage takes three foreign holidays a year. It’s better for the nation if they have one holiday at home.

        Are we living in the good times? No, it’s a vicious lie. People aren’t happy. Sure they’re entertained but they’re on more anti-depressants than you can poke a stick at, and not all of it’s bad actors dishing them out: there’s a lot of genuine ennui.

        If we assume that the 1950s were the peak of crass prosperity, irrespective of what we think about the sexual mores and so on, then certainly technology’s a big part of the explanation, but so’s two decades of frugality running up to it.

            Capitalism’s a wonderful thing when it comes to finding efficient ways to do important things and when it comes to using price to direct the factors of production to their most urgently needed uses.

            – open the borders, bring in the cheapest possible labour on transports paid for by printed money which is immediately cancelled out afterwards

            – deregulate EVERYTHING: if people want to invent and pay for private regulators, that’s fine and allowable but they can’t have any ‘teeth’ because it’s good to have the option for people to choose dangerous cancer-giving products if they so wish, fascist

            – build a LOT of houses – this will slow down the rise in unaffordability for the legacy population, provide somewhere to live for the needed new workers for the coming boom, and provide excellent opportunities for industry

            – slash or abolish VAT and keep interest rates at rock bottom. In fact tax savings outright

            – price controls on the essentials of life, combined with massive subsidies

            I reckon this could probably target a GDP growth rate of 10% for a fair while, maybe thirty years or so.

              The evil libertarian (genocidal) nazis on this blog clearly hate the poor downtrodden proletariat, hate POCs, and hate the LGBTQA community. Hate them so much that they wanna inflict on them junk food, degeneracy, and drugs. Also reality television.

              It just so deeply saddens me to think of all the children of color (some cruel, vicious people call them “niglets” – a bad, bad word!) who become obese as a result of the free market. You know? The longevity of whites is just too damn high, because they poisoned all the poor POCs with junk food.

              We must keep drugs off the market, because LGBTQAs are vastly disproportionately likelier to abuse them, because of the cis-het patriarchy and so on. As a staunch ally of the LGBTQA, I’ll do anything and everything to prevent the legalization of heroin.

              Gotta protect vulnerable people from the consequences of their own behavior. Just think: will there be any transsexuals-of-color if all drugs are legal? No! And that is a shame; our democracy just won’t survive without transsexuals-of-color. Now, the evil nazis here might say, “What do we need nigger trannies for?” but that’s just typical right-wing sociopathy talking.

              The bigotry must end. Domino’s Pizza (more like Domimo’s Privilege, amirite?) is vastly disproportionately harming POCs, oppressed proletarians, and the mentally disabled. Whitey just wants to make Latinos and African-Americans fat, because whitey is evil.

                “[CR is saying] “I know socialism makes people poor, but I declare this to be a virtue and that we actually intended this all along””

                Since when was living paycheck to paycheck and blowing all your dough on rubbish with nothing to show for it a sign of wealth? Consider this account of the super-healthy GDP of recent years:

                Man knows he’ll never buy a house because house is 10 years of his gross salary, so he looks at renting, but because house prices are super-high and because rich investors have been driven to using housing as a source of income when they wouldn’t normally have done so (this being a big part of the artificial housing market), man cannot afford that either.

                So what does he do? Maybe he lives with family. Let’s not concern ourselves with that because obviously as good Misesian libertarians we think he should just work harder, maybe retrain now that the Pajits are doing all the computery stuff he foolishly trained for previously.

                OK fine. So what does he *do*? We’re Misesians so we’re concerned with the actions people take, not with macro-economics and airy ideas.

                Well, he can’t save enough to buy a house and saving won’t help him rent a house. Let’s say he has $500 left over each month, and renting will cost him $800 a month. If he saves his $500, he gets to rent for almost two months for every month he saves, so if he saves for three years, he might get to rent for five before he’s screwed again. Not a good plan.

                So what does he *do*?

                Well he’s got $500 so he spends it. He can go to town with his holidays, his dinners out, his big screen TV, maybe get a couple of subscriptions, some fun top end gadgets. Heck, maybe we see things like posh versions of stuff like beer – craft beer; maybe we see him spending a lot on hobbies that combine nostalgia and élite indie tastes: board games for example. Maybe he goes to a few conventions; maybe he gets into comic books too.

                Very good for GDP. Are we ok with it? Sure, sounds healthy to me, right?

                What about a guy who wants to buy a car. Now if that was me, I’d buy it outright, but our indie high taste ‘finer things in life’ consumerist wants to spend at least $15000 on a car, even second hand, so he takes out a loan. I’ve seen eight year car loans at very low rates of interest. Well, what’s the difference in the monthly payments between $15000 and $16000?
                So he goes a bit further up market – it’s all rational, it’s all compatible with Misesian praxeology.

                Are we glad that people are having more luxury in their lives? Isn’t this a sign that we’re living in healthy, happy times?

                You libertarians are being intellectually lazy, mistaking the symptoms of cancer for getting in shape.

                  This is boring. Redistribution of social status is 63.7% worse than redistribution of goods, but redistribution of goods implies a redistribution of social status, 33.6% to the person recieving the stolen goods, 53.2% to the person stealing, the rest to the government that allows it.

                  The rise to historically grotesque proportions in individual consumption spending has correlated perfectly with the decline in the ability of average people to buy the big things: houses at all or cars without going into long-term debt.

                  GDP not only fails to catch this but in fact shows it as a good thing.

                  Moldbug observed in one of his Mises/Libertarian pieces that government borrowing is also good for GDP. The same’s true for corporate and individual debt. The same’s also true of borrowing from the future to fund the present, which isn’t limited to government: I’m in the UK and here the pensions deficit for many important companies including all the supermarkets and people like the Automobile Association (breakdown services) are measured in the billions.

                  The big wasteful spending I see is not individual consumption spending. People are spending money on “good schools” – meaning paying big money to live away from diversity. People are spending money on college in a wasteful signaling spiral.

                  These are positional goods, negative sum expenditures. If you spend more on them, you make the other guy worse off. You get a useless masters, the other guy has to get a useless PhD. You spend money to get away from diversity, the other guy has to spend more money to get away from diversity.

                  We need to spend a lot less on such zero sum capital expenditure, and a lot more on parties.

                  I spend more on big parties, often on or near the beach, than anyone I know and it is not a significant part of my living expenses. Everyone could throw a hundred big beach parties for what they spend on college.

                  The culture is degenerate because there is a gay parade, which makes it impossible for males to signal cohesion,

                  The culture is degenerate because romance books are permitted, which tell a forty year old woman with two children that she is entitled to a six foot six athletic billionaire.

                  The culture is degenerate because heroes are demonized, and perverts are valorized.

                  The culture is degenerate because boys are deprived of fathers.

                  The culture is degenerate because single motherhood is celebrated and subsidized, instead of being publicly whipped.

                  The culture is degenerate because manliness is condemned and punished.

                  The culture is degenerate because it builds housing projects rather than Cathedrals.

                  The culture is degenerate because modern art celebrates ugliness, incompetence, and lack of artistic technical skill.

                  The culture is degenerate because it cuts us off from our past and demonizes our ancestors.

                  The culture is degenerate because it celebrates ugliness and destroys beauty.

                  The culture is degenerate because it celebrates losers and punishes greatness.

                  To not be a consumerist you need to be able to make the choice of foregoing consumption.

                  If you don’t consume because there’s nothing to consume, you’re still a consumerist, just a very unhappy one.

                  Or stated differently, we don’t want you to limit our consumption not because we consider consumption our highest value, but because we don’t like you.

                  This is like “you don’t trust science!” “no, we just don’t trust you” which is similarly invisible to liberal “scientists”.

                  I agree with your entire shopping list by the way, except for social housing but it’s not important enough to quibble about: it amounts to “whatever they do is fine so long as the name badge ends in inc or plc rather than begins in department of”, which is basically the same argument used by British prime ministers since John Major to justify giving tax-funded grants to private service providers and calling it privatisation. The name badges, the name badges!

                  Maybe things are different in the states, although from your pool party comment I get the sense that maybe they’re not.
                  Either way, when I’m sat in a ‘restaurant’ where everyone’s eating hot dogs, beef burgers and pizza, and some 50-something party bursts into the birthday song, my sense of dread and discomfort on behalf of my ancestors is every bit as strong as when I see two queers cargo cult romantic love.

                  We don’t have a “consumerism problem,” we have a “woman spending problem.”. Men spend their own money, women spend someone else’s. Since the bill never comes to them, they are frivolous and wasteful.

                  A man should spend his money however he pleases. A woman should ask a man’s permission before spending (they always spend men’s money, one way or another). Men must be taught to be firm and tell women no. Our society actually teaches that if a woman wants your money, you are wrong to deny her, no matter the reason. Women always know best. Hence, sky high debt and no savings.

                  Japan allowed their women to control their finances, and they ended up spending it on “investments” that were scams. Whoops. Women say, we can get the big house. My husband will work a third job.

                  The bible teaches women are more prone to sin. This is obvious to anyone who pays attention. The solution is to remove female autonomy. The “overspending” problem will resolve itself.

              It still doesn’t have to involve consumption at current levels. We don’t HAVE to commit 15%+ of our productive capacity to energy generation.

              There’s no reason why this competent, non-debauched society has to continue going on three foreign holidays a year and dining out three times a week. There’s no reason why competent, non-debauched people would want to tear out their kitchen in order to put a new one in because they like the colour better, and there’s no reason for competent, non-debauched people to spend $50+ getting their nails done.

              We could, as a competent, non-debauched society, re-adopt the values of our grandparents: hand-me-down clothing, turns in the tub, dripping sandwiches and the permanent ‘hoarding’ of family heirlooms from fine silverware to the best hand-made master furniture.

                  For the trillionth time, I’ve been consistent and clear that this is socialism, or ‘socialism’ if you prefer, of what’s permitted to go on sale, and am open not only to large scale prohibitions but also to the state taking direct control of the retail of finished goods and consumer services.

                  For the trillionth time, I’ve been consistent and clear that the MEANS OF PRODUCTION, or in Misesian terms the higher order factors of production, are the one area of the economy that MUST be free to fix prices in order to correctly direct resources to their most appropriate uses.

                  If you want to avoid the word ‘socialism’ because you’re not able to separate it from the idea of nationalising the higher order factors of production, then just call it ‘very extreme regulation’. If you do, someone will call you a socialist, and it’s quite possible that the libertarian impulse runs so deep here that conversation is literally impossible.

                Everyone of those things you mentioned is not a capitalism problem, they are woman problems. Kitchen remodels, expensive nail treatments, dinng out too much: misbehaving women. Like a typical leftist, the only solution you can imagine to solve this simple problem is to give the government control over everything and ban kitchen remodels (???).

                The reactionary solution is to restore the power of the husband over the household, and for the king to support the man when he disciplines a misbehaving wife, as opposed to supporting the wife’s usurpation of her husband.

                  Kitchen remodels, thats what my mother blew most of her post divorce money on when I told her not to.

                  Should not be banned but that is the ultimate in stupid women expenditures.

                  CR writes

                  “For the trillionth time, I’ve been consistent and clear that this is socialism, or ‘socialism’ if you prefer, of what’s permitted to go on sale, and am open not only to large scale prohibitions but also to the state taking direct control of the retail of finished goods and consumer services.”

                  Neither of which work. You are ignorant of economics both in theory and practice and consistently fail to take into account Pournelle’s Iron Law of Bureaucracy. We do not want to have a long “conversation” about overly planned and regulated Stalinist style economies because we reject socialist economics.

                  Why not?

                  Seriously, why not? You’ve settled along with Javier, on the truth of the situation: this degenerate wastefulness is a manifestation of societal sickness, driven in large part (though I wouldn’t grant that it’s driven entirely) by women’s bad behaviour.

                  So what’s stopping you from wanting the state to help restore sanity? If you want to say “natural rights” then do so: don’t try and dissemble.

                  Women should not have freedom because they don’t exercise it well and subconsciously 99% of them don’t really want it (they DO want to be able to get away with stuff occasionally though).

                  But a male freeholder should be able to remodel his kitchen even at wasteful expense because he should be CLOSE to a king under his own roof (though I do think there should be limits to how much he can abuse his wife and children, what there should not be is professional abuse hunters) and for other reasons Jim summed up well in Throne Altar and Freehold.

              See, real communism has never been tried. Russia never had it, nor did China, nor Cuba, nor Cambodia, nor any of the other places. They each called themselves communism, but they were fake through and through. Real communism is about scientifically deriving a system of government (and of society) optimal for the well-being of the Workers (with a capital W). Everyone wants the same things: wealth, good education, inexpensive healthcare, high culture, and so on, and that’s what Real Communism is about. The only “communisms” we’ve ever had were dictatorial totalitarian bureaucies, unfortunately the exact opposite of “power to the people”, i.e. Real Communism.

              Sadly, C.R. is a Fake Communist. He doesn’t want to extend a hand to raise the workers up from the dirt, he wants to smash them back into the mud and stamp his boot on their collective face.

                Au contraire, Carlyle was very clear: workers are not well served by being traded on the open market as commodities.
                What they need is job security. That used to be the norm when we had heavy industry, and if tariffs can bring that back, it may be sufficient, but if it turns out not to be sufficient then we have three basic options:

                1. Cut them loose and step over the bodies in the street, which no Westerner has ever put up with for long, whatever you and I might think about it

                2. Redistributive socialism so that productive deals between employers and employees entail a portion of compensation used as a subsidy to counter-act the unemployment of labour (our version would not much resemble globohomo welfare schemes but it’d still be welfare)

                3. Indentured servitude of one sort or another

    Jim the Philippines is still tribal. The filipinos dislike (don’t trust, criticize, try to cheat) each other if they aren’t from the same family/tribe. That is the main reason why Philippines is still highly patriarchal and traditional family values. Family and tribe are #1 for them by an extreme degree compared to their feelings about the country as a whole. Believe me, many of them don’t even really like Manny Pacquaio unless he gives them something. Filipinos have the attitude of “what did my family get from his success.”

    • Yara says:

      >That is the main reason why Philippines is still highly patriarchal and traditional family values.

      That’s true. Tribalness is a biologically originating, highly resilient power structure intermediate to the individual and the state. It and nepotism are mutually self-sustaining, which both are preserved by inbreeding [non-pejorative] as opposed to outbreeding. And it’s absolutely true that tribalness has preserved the patriarchy of the Flips of the Flippines against depredation by external powers, chiefly the colonially-fabricated, historically American-supported Flippino government, and Israeli television.

      What is a patriarch?– a man who rules with the weight of hereditary authority; a man who rules other men; a man who guarantees the rights to life and property of those under his dominion, i.e. of his blood.

      So in a sense, the inbred [non-pejorative] Flippinos have many kings, a veritable mosaic of them, while we, thanks to our profound outbreeding, have, and only can have, one. Clearly, our system is far more fragile; equally clearly, when it works, its function surpasses all others.

    Do you think that the current rate of legal immigration into Australia is excessive?

    I will concede that boat arrivals were a little on the high side the year Tony Abbott was elected.

    • jim says:

      Of course the current immigration rate is excessive – but that immigrants are required to jump through paperwork hoops means a somewhat higher level of competence and lower level of aggressive violence than immigrants that enter illegally.

      • X says:

        It’s still a slide into decadence especially given the leftist politics of multiculturalism instead insisting on assimilation to white culture and values.

        I read recently that Australia is proposing to require immigrants to work and reside 5 years in the countryside before they can migrate to a major city, but no one thinks they can actually enforce that.

    I was talking to an Indian national (now U.S. citizen) about working on my crypto project and he basically told me he was going to work on my project at his day job cheating his employer. This is the sort of ethics we’re legally immigrating into the U.S.A. When I told him I would compartmentalize him for the first several months to gain confidence in him and not give him access to all my secrets, he never replied again. So clearly he was going to rip me off.

  14. Joe says:

    >The Trump like Australian Prime minister Tony Abbot decisively stopped illegal immigration, (Zero illegal arrivals since 2014, yes, zero. You read that correctly. Zero.) and busted near every illegal visa overstay and violation of visa conditions, as near to all of them as makes no difference

    Jim, you are either ignorantly or purposefully falling for the Australian immigration bait and switch. Refugee arrivals are 10% of all immigrants and boat arrivals are lucky to hit 1-2%.

    There is a certain tribe that forms a large proportion of recent immigrants and is frequently seen in IT. Its members are both disruptive and useless. Australia could be a technology superpower, but not for as long as this tribe exists.

      Boat arrivals are not one or two percent. They are precisely zero, and before Tony Abbott, they were overwhelming, and were the fast track to turn Australia brown.

          This will be an upgrade over the old system of cheques, but the state will control the cryptocurrencies just like they always control money, and one way or another, government scrip will be legal tender.

          Bitcoin is an unlikely choice for the banks to use externally or internally, because of its age and processing requirements.

            We already have all that, except the current system is built on trusting the participant banks to issue money on demand, uses SWIFT as the basis for international transactions, and issues credit/debit cards as tokens (along with a dwindling amount of physical bills and coins).

            So any gains from going to crypto ledgers are incremental rather than disruptive. Perhaps the main win is that money flows can be tracked in exquisite detail by the IRS.

              You don’t seem to grasp jurisdictional arbitrage. For the nation-states to effectively regulate Bitcoin, they must cooperate with each other, otherwise there’s always a country Bitcoin can escape to. Thus to regulate Bitcoin, nation-states must forsake their authority and hand it over to a world authority.

              Bitcoin is a Trojan Horse. There was no way to transition from the Brenton Woods U.S. dollar reserve system to a NWO John Nash Ideal Money system willingly. The nation-states will not willingly give up their political power. You can see the tried the Euro experiment. Then they devised Bitcoin which is far more clever and insidious. Bitcoin is our friend because we need decentralization to side-step the Western civilization decadence morass, yet in the long-term Bitcoin is part of the 666.

            Obviously in the 21st century where we need to pay internet bills and so on, there’s nothing to be gained by having a metallic standard or anything like that, but as Moldbug correctly points out, a fiat currency controlled by a STRONG SANE ruler is much harder than any gold standard.

Also we make have viable (removing the nothing-at-stake problem) proof-of-stake systems soon (e.g. I am working on one).

Petroleum-powered civilization by its very nature necessitates the subserviation of the free and independent farming yeoman to the metallic whim of divergently-interested corporate-governmental power.

                  This is true now, though I would not bet on it being true forever.

                  Besides this, there is a dramatic difference between being reliant on a distant high-tech supplier once every 10 or 20 or 30 years and being reliant on a nearer (though still distant) low-medium-tech grid every minute of every day until one’s dying breath. If the oil were to be shut off tomorrow, the oil-dependent (nearly everyone) would be rioting in the streets by the end of the week, but those with green houses powered by solar would hardly notice for many years.

                  >Solar power is unusable without being backed up by the grid, thus makes the farmer more dependent on the central political authority, which always necessarily owns and controls the grid.

                  Not really. The architectural technology now exists and is readily available for highly effective, completely unpowered thermal regulation in nearly any environment. Besides for heating, which is unnecessary in not-McMansion cookie-cutter houses built to modern standards, for what does a human even need electricity at night? Lighting? Absolutely minimal batteries; a self-contained vat of lead acid is far more than sufficient. Internet? Now we’re in serious luxury territory. Look, my grandparents had memories from before they were electrified, and that material standard of living was dramatically inferior to anything today proposed.

                  >If the farmer could himself homebrew solar panels, could himself maintain solar panels, and could himself make batteries considerably better than any batteries that now exist, then solar power would favor power to the patriarch.

                  A brief search reveals anecdotes of solar panels from 1980 still operating at substantial capacity. Look, independent energy favors the patriarch, but only inasmuch as it doesn’t convey the omnipresent electronic poz.

                  But solar power makes one more reliant on the grid, not less. And the grid is always necessarily owned and controlled by the state or a quasi state organization which is apt to find the management problem too large, detailed, and complex to handle well.

                  For solar power to make one less dependent on the grid, requires a battery technology that does not yet exist.

                  You tell me we can do without substantial amounts of electricity at night – and in bad weather. As someone who has spent a lot of time off the grid, I tell you, not so. If there was a satisfactory technology, I would have implemented it. Been there, done that, sucks golf balls.

                  I have lived like that, and I don’t want to live like that.

                  Farmer can back it up (diversify) with biomass:

                  An internal combustion engine can be designed to run on alcohols fermented from biomass.

                  If the farmer could himself homebrew solar panels, could himself maintain solar panels, and could himself make batteries considerably better than any batteries that now exist, then solar power would favor power to the patriarch.

                  Why can’t a farmer employ a pump and water to elevation to store energy?

                  Surely we white man can learn how to manufacture solar panels, but that defeats the point of maximum division-of-labor. Let China make them. As long as we don’t forget how to make them, then we can ramp up if ever need be.

                  Sourcing hardware is not really a bottleneck. We have backup power with biomass and long duration MTBF for solar panels.

I was in a circle of my betters, waxing eloquent about things I didn’t really understand, when one of my Uncles pointed out that McCain was a war hero and Obama was a community organizer. I quickly responded:

      “McCain has killed at least 40 service members. How many has Obama killed?”

      This was in reference to McCain bellying in on a carrier and generally fucking things up. I related as much, then turned to the patriarch of my family for reinforcement. He stared me dead in my Kool aid besotted eyes then said:

      “Have you ever flown a plane? I have, and the last thing I will do is judge a man for a situation I wasn’t in.”

      My grandfather is erudite as fuck. He always goes into detail, explains ad nauseum, and generally informs you on just how fucking ignorant you are. He delivered one sentence about not judging a man I know, beyond any doubt, that he despises, and said nothing else.

As a side note 2 of the 3 main Networks are also now under the control of Globalist corporations, and the 2 government networks have the loyalties one would expect.
    No, look at the dirty tricks played against Dutton (the real populist contender in the Liberal party, and the one whose policies represented a reversal of globalist plans) and you’ll see the true game. Turnbull (the former lawyer and Goldman Sachs Banker) had become an untenable Prime Minister so the forces that commanded him directed him to manipulate the situation to put his deputy and appropriate successor into power. Dirty tricks were being used against Dutton, similar to what are being used against Trunp – i wonder who these people could be…

Labour smells blood in the water. The centre-right Nats are getting nervous, and with the continuous rise of the nationalist One Nation and Anning’s incendiary maiden speech that dispensed with dogwhistling and overtly called for white nationalism, don’t be surprised if the “sensible centre” “unexpectedly” evaporates and the conservatives ally with the more serious rightist elements to mount an actual challenge to civilizational collapse.

      “nature requires a low entropy channel in order to increase entropy overall”

      Not true, the Universe’s total entropy is always increasing. Any local decrease in entropy requires a bigger increase somewhere else, but the converse is not true; entropy can increase everywhere at the same time.

      This principle also applies to societies, which can collapse to the point where everyone is desperately digging for grubs with a pointy stick. The British Empire “exported entropy” by allowing its elites to conquer and exploit brown and black peoples, and exiling its criminal underclass to penal colonies. But when other white nations felt they weren’t getting a fair share of the loot, WW1 broke out and entropy came home.

      “Low-entropy” Bitcoin is now eating about one percent of all electricity generated on Earth, and all we get for it is orders of magnitude fewer electronic transactions than banks were clearing in the 1960s with less total computing power than a modern ten-dollar burner phone.

          It doesn’t matter because we don’t need miners to trade with the gold we already have. If the miners all dropped dead tomorrow, gold would be more valuable without them.

          In Bitcoin, no miners = no transactions. Asshole miners who won’t raise the blocksize = high fees for said miners to collect!

            Of course I know the entropy of the universe is inexorably trending to maximum. I wrote about that in the comments of Jim’s prior blog on the Optics of noticing. I suggest you review my comments there to get some more in depth explanations of my conceptualizations about the importance of entropy in our analysis. I made two new comments there today to address Jim’s narrative about the history of the middle kingdom in the 16th through 18th centuries.

            Actually you don’t know the converse is not true. You would have to explain which mechanisms nature employs to increase entropy. If you study that, you will discover that I’m correct and you’re being flippant. I suggest you for example listen to 180 IQ Freemany Dyson’s theory and account of the origins of life from the soup of disorder into humans. You can find this video on his profile at the theedge.com website. You will hear about how nature created RNA order in the small inside the cell to promote a more structured genetics that we have now that of course fostered all the incredible uncertainty (i.e. disorder aka entropy) we have now at informational scale of the Internet for example.

            The point is that low-entropy stable frameworks provide the conduit by which greater levels of chaos can form. How can we get the chaos of the doubly-hinged pendulum if we have no humans to build the invention.

            and all we get for it is orders of magnitude fewer electronic transactions than banks were clearing in the 1960s with less total computing power than a modern ten-dollar burner phone.

                A crypto currency needs to be centerless – it needs to able to survive the seizure of key servers by a hostile powerful party.

                Trouble with bitcoin is that it is not centerless – proof of work winds up being centralized in a small number of extremely powerful and extremely expensive computers.

                Thus we need a system with proof of stake, and not only proof of stake, but proof of client stake – the power over the system needs to reside with peers that have a lot of wealthy clients – and it needs to be hard to find who the clients are, and where they are keeping their secrets, so that even if Mueller seizes important peers on charges of tax evasion and money laundering, does not thereby gain control.

                If the system handles an enormous number of transactions, peers are going to be big and expensive, thus vulnerable to people like Mueller armed with vague and open ended charges of tax evasion and money laundering. Hence the power of peer over the currency needs to be proportional to the wealth controlled by the secrets held by that peer’s clients. And that peer’s clients need to be free to move from one peer to the next, and apt to move to peers that make it difficult for Mueller to find their clients.

                Need a system Bob can prove to the whole world that he paid Ann such and such amount, in accord with such and such a bill, but no one else can prove he paid Ann, nor that there ever was such a bill, except he shows them. With bitcoin, payments are disturbingly traceable.

                The reason we have end user demand for crypto currency is the same as the reason we have end user demand for gold.

                When quasi governmental entities started freezing the accounts of “Nazis”, “racists”, “Russian trolls”, and suchlike, a lot of “Nazis” and “Russian trolls” moved to crypto currency, shortly thereafter followed by a great many very wealthy men who were worried that when they needed their wealth in a hurry, they would suddenly become Nazis and Russian trolls also, and their wealth would suddenly become inaccessible or worthless.

                For a long time the big demand for crypto currency has been wealthy Chinese evading currency controls, but with the recent crackdown on hate speech, we are seeing massive American and European demand, which directly resulted in the recent spike in crypto currency values.

                Another substantial source of demand for crypto currency, which has been around since the beginning, is buying steroids and suchlike over the internet, but the really huge move in crypto currency demand came during the recent crackdown on political activists.

                Obviously political activists do not in themselves have enough wealth to cause such a huge move in market value, but when you go after political activists, you are going to make a whole lot of wealthy people reflect that they are none too popular either. If you are a rich man, makes sense to put a significant chunk of your wealth in crypto currency in case you suddenly become a refugee. For example, if, as is looking increasingly likely, there is a pogrom against whites in the USA, a whole lot of rich people will flee to Singapore, China, Russia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Dubai with nothing but the clothes they stand up in, and the master secret controlling their crypto currency in their heads.

                North Korea is poor in substantial part because it dares not allow something like the internet to exist. Any contact with the west is used by the state department as a vector for subversion and color revolution.

                Full bore totalitarianism sufficient to shut down crypto currency is not far from full bore totalitarianism sufficient to shut down the internet.

                Full bore totalitarianism sufficient to shut down the internet is going to strangle your economy. If your enemies are markedly wealthier than you are, it is likely to be a problem. North Korea wants to open up, and has repeatedly attempted to open up, but wants it to be safe for it to open up. If it does open up, expect a lot of North Koreans to buy crypto currency.

                However, turning the US into Venezuela is entirely feasible, might well happen. We have a potential Democratic Party president who proposes to do exactly that.

                Which is exactly why wealthy Americans are buying crypto currency, so that they can run to those parts of the world that do not turn into North Korea or Venezuela.

                The best example of repression which does not bother people too much or damage the economy too much is China and the great firewall of China, which is carrying out a program of cracking down on the internet as best it can without destroying its economy. And until recently, the major demand for crypto currency came from Chinese evading currency controls. So, proof by experiment. Crypto currency can resist state power – and if state power is figuring out how to handle bitcoin, we can provide a successor more capable of resisting state power.

                  This is not problem until the end game of the NWO. Because Satoshi employed John Nash’s Ideal Money manifesto and Nash’s new game theory that was published right before Bitcoin was released. So essentially those in control of the mining of Bitcoin can’t defect from the protocol, because if they do then the value of Bitcoin as an Ideal Money reserve asset is destroyed. In the post linked to by prior bitcointalk.org linked I had provided, I have some links to detailed analysis I have done of the game theory poison pill that Satoshi put in Bitcoin that prevents the current Core hijacking of the protocol. Actually there is going to be an event in the future where all those holding Bitcoin in Core addresses that begin with 3 will be taken by the miners as donations. Because the original Satoshi protocol is still in force and running simultaneously with the Core hijacked protocol. When the SegWit booty piles up, the miners will be incentivized to take them as donations because the poison pill makes them “pay to anyone” and the miner who wins the block has first dibs on “anyone”. So Satoshi anticipated everything. And I actually believe that who ever Satoshi was (i.e. the Zionists) actually are funding Core as a creative disruption to take Bitcoin from the n00bs. They banned me at bitcointalk.org because they do not want this information to be widely known now.

                  But in the long-run yes indeed the Zionists who control Bitcoin mining from behind the curtain will have a 666 level of control over the earth and all the money will be holed up on a hill in Israel as Revelation states. It is actually coming to fruition.

                  Thus we need a system with proof of stake, and not only proof of stake, but proof of client stake – the power over the system needs to reside with peers that have a lot of wealthy clients – and it needs to be hard to find who the clients are, and where they are keeping their secrets, so that even if Mueller seizes important peers on charges of tax evasion and money laundering, does not thereby gain control.

                  Jim no one has designed a proof-of-stake system that doesn’t centralized. I covered this in my 4 part blog series on blockchains:

                  https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@anonymint/scaling-decentralization-security-of-distributed-ledgers

                  But as I commented in the comments of part 4, I think I have the solution of how to decentralize proof-of-stake and eliminate the nothing-at-stake problem. This is very technical and I will not try to summarize it here in your blog. Are you still interested in working on a solution?

                  I am actively coding now.

                  Note I can tell that no proof-of-stake system even as decentralized in my solution, will have the same security as Bitcoin. Because any decentralization solution will be necessarily more stochastic than Bitcoin. Again the details are far too technical to summarize here.

                  If you know of any programmers who can help me on my project, please ask them to contact me. I have funding.

                  Which is exactly why wealthy Americans are buying crypto currency, so that they can run to those parts of the world that do not turn into North Korea or Venezuela.

                  In summary, blockchains enable jurisdictional arbitrage. And this is not just about monetary, we also need to decentralized every database on the Internet (including Facebook, Wikipedia, Reddit, and your blog!).

                  The global elite created Bitcoin. Please refer the bitcointalk.org post that I linked to up-thread that started this discussion. I explain why they created Bitcoin. Assimilate those points with the points I clarified today in Jim’s prior blog The optics of noticing about the meaning of “entropic cooperation”. Also assimilate the comments I added today in this thread about the Jewish elite. The Zionist must create the NWO and they need Bitcoin to help them accomplish it because otherwise the nation-states would resist an Ideal Money reserve currency. Note John Nash was killed in a fiery car crash that looks very suspicious. John Nash was not Satoshi, but there seems to be come connection there. Satoshi was probably an arm of the Mossad. Mossad was also involved in the 9/11 false flag. Dig into the facts. Don’t just assume I am a nutter. I have studied the evidence in great detail. Much of that detail can be located from my Steemit blogs.

                  How deeply do you understand the nothing-at-stake issue?

    Jim,

    My country is done….. Australia’s turbo charged non-white immigration has turned vast areas of my home town (Melbourne) in unrecognizable third world holes…. try to speak out and you are handed a section 18c invitation to the magistrates court for huge fines and possible jail time too. Don’t dare start to publicly complain about the African rampages across Melbourne!

    Even if all immigration is halted the ones already here are on a turbo-charged breeding program thanks to all the welfare they receive. I’ll be dead before this (white) man made hell explodes, but I pity those (soon to be minority) white kids being born today who will have to try and survive within what is to come.

    The whites who did this to my country seem to think the non-whites will spare them for some strange reason in-spite of what is now happening in South Africa.

    • Yara says:

      Part of the unspoken subtext of our host’s post is that legal immigration is somehow better than illegal immigration.

      It isn’t.

      It’s worse. Far better that your rising tide of color, if you are to have such, be illegal, less even a shred of moral excuse for their pestful presence in an age that legislative fiat by the stroke of a parliamentarian’s pen carries with it such weight of moral condonation or opprobrium as ours.

          • X says:

            As I argued in my first post in the prior blog The optics of noticing, the only solution available to white men is to form an elite tribe in the small, practice strict patriarchy, and stop assimilating.

            When do we begin? Where do we chat and organize? Certainly we can’t have an interactive chat discussion in blog comments.

            All this talk about rescuing the State, is useless masturbation. I am do’er not a talker. White men are do’ers. As Jim pointed out, we’re the engineers that keep all the lights on. The Jews are the defection priesthood. We white males become negentropic collateral damage when we align ourselves with the decadent State.

            It’s time for us to defect from the morass and do what we do best!

              • X says:

                On further thought the issue is really that there’s a power vacuum without a prophet because Hajnal whites defect on clan tribalism. There’s also Nietzsche’s ressentiment in play.

                https://steemit.com/philosophy/@anonymint/geographical-cultural-ethos-science-is-dead

                Whereas, the psychology of ressentiment replaces the bitterness of resentment for one’s plight, with a delusional, selfish illusion of righteous superiority or control over the situation such as: a focus on Christianity as exclusionary, vindictive, apocalyptic Revelation, and promise of salvation that the faithful meek will inherit the glorious earth upon the return of Jesus whilst the selfish rich suffer damnation in eternal hell. And our smug vengefulness could be mistakenly supported by Jesus purportedly stated that a rich person that hadn’t given all his possessions to the poor had less chance to pass through the gates of heaven than an elephant (or camel) through the eye-of-a-needle. Nietzsche’s conceptualization focuses on the irrationality from an individual perspective but afaik doesn’t consider the groupwise benefit from squelching defection […]

                That ressentiment complex enabled Hajnal whites to subjugate clans and rise up in levels of cooperation. While that was small and growing, it exported entropy such as the agricultural and industrial revolutions.

                But on the decadent side that we’re in now, the ressentiment has the Hajnal whites trapped, as Nietzsche predicted it would.

                The Hajnal whites will ride the State all the way down into the abyss because they’re incapable of non-Hajnal whites defection. And they’ll end up doing Nazi genocide blaming their idealistic ressentiment delusion on some scapegoat other than themselves, e.g. this blog blaming everything on females as if all of us aren’t part of the problem, lol.

  22. ikacer says:

    Regarding nuclear, you have the mechanism slightly wrong. There are some incompetent people in the nuclear industry, but there are still huge numbers of very smart people. The real reason is that for the political reasons you mentioned, legislators and judges have put so many laws and regulations in place, and consequently so much bureaucracy has formed to oversee the regulations that it takes decades and a fortune to get anything through all the regulatory tape.

    The final blow that killed the industry was what happened to Seabrook station. Wikipedia gives a decent overview, if you read between the lines. Protestors were bused in and a frivolous lawsuit forced them to halt mid construction, they had to keep construction crews and engineers on payroll while they were legally barred from working and it took almost a year before the lawsuit was dismissed for being without merit. Also a law was passed which required them to get the governor to sign off on the evacuation plans and the Democrat governor decided to just sit on it for the duration of his term. All the bureaucratic stalling delayed the opening by 10 years and caused the bankruptcy of one of the largest electric companies in the US. Since then, quite reasonably, no one builds nuclear power plants in the US anymore.

            They’ve tried to copy the US stealth fighters because that’s what they do. The Russians did not; they’ve pursued their own counterstrategy.

            “As the scientist said, Russia didn’t even appear to seriously try to make a stealth aircraft. The Su-57 takes certain measures, like storing weapons internally, that improve the stealth, but it’s leaps and bounds from a US or even Chinese effort.

            This highlights the true purpose of Russia’s new fighter — not to evade radar itself, but to kill US stealth jets like the F-35 and F-22.”

            Because the Jews detect on the goyim instead on their own tribe. The Jews understand that their must be a higher opportunity cost to defecting on their own tribe than on the goyim. And this social contract doesn’t need to be enforced from the top-down, because it is Nash equilibrium.

            We dumb ass Europeans haven’t figured this out yet.

            Well I am part Cherokee, so I might have some Jewish genetics. But I am also Welsh, French, and German.

            Asians have the tall poppy syndrome social contract. Everyone defects except on their own tribe, but doesn’t let it appear too obvious. So they’re vulnerable to soft power because the State is not religion for them. They’re easily swayed by other religions, which is why the Communist Party must crackdown so fiercely on for example Islam within its borders.

              Far leftist jews also defect on their own tribe (there USED TO BE left wing zionists, the kind of jews who worked on the kibbutzim and who Israel drew its elite troops that won the war in 48 from, these were Jews were both wholly Socialists and wholly Zionist but those kind of jews no longer exists in large numbers). Orthodox Jews aren’t leftists, secular Likud voters aren’t leftists.

              Leftists Jews in Israel support open borders for Israel and thus are traitors to their own as well. American Jews now tend to support if not totally open borders for Israel much more open borders for Israel.

                Elite must always defect on their own State else they will be replaced by nature because otherwise it would be negentropic at that scale. C.f. also my reply to @analyticbastard up-thread.

                Defecting on a State is not defecting on your tribe. A tribe and a State are never isomorphic.

                Also the tribe of the elite Jews is not the same tribe as the commoner Jews.

                Leftists Jews in Israel support open borders for Israel and thus are traitors to their own as well.

                Destroying States is entirely consistent with the Jewish priestly status. Their tribe is of highly disordered congruence with the trend of entropy than those stupid Europeans who idol States.

                I don’t think anyone’s arguing that Jews, though astonishingly frequently highly impressive as individuals, aren’t incomparably destructive as a race.

                  Nature won't replace non-defecting elites – other potential elites will.

                  When a group of men has little power they need cohesion to gain power and form a government – when the government exists and power is there to be seized the incentive is to defect and use the power for personal benefit. A wisely run state is aware of this tendency and takes action to mitigate it – it's not a law of thermodynamics that they'll fail.

              If the solar panels are cheap enough that still saves you money as you buy less coal. The price of both solar panels and batteries is falling every year on a steady predictable trend line that goes back decades. Be aware that your talking points although quite true a decade ago may soon become out of date. Extend the trend lines in solar panel and battery prices and it becomes the cheapest source of power in about 2020.

              • jim says:

                Even if solar panels are free, solar panel installation and maintenance is free, and solar panel installations last forever, solar power will still double the cost of electricity, because you wind up with double the grid. You do get less pollution from coal though.

                Trouble is that solar power tends to be accompanied by an influx of criminals into the power distribution system, so you end up with double the cost, more than double the cost, and still get blackouts and brownouts. But even if everything was done honestly and competently, and solar panels were free, would still double the cost of power, because the cost of the grid dominates all other costs.

                • Stephen W says:

                  It is not just solar panels, batteries are coming down in price also. By the late 2020s the combination of solar power and batteries for storage will be cheaper than the grid connection.

                  And since they consider reliance on fossil fuels bad, they come to the logical conclusion that the state backs fossil fuels. Somehow.

                  They can’t point to any specific thing the state does in order to support fossil fuels, whereas I can point to many things it does that have the exact opposite effect, but this doesn’t matter, because their logic is airtight.

                They are true today. There’s a 100% correlation in Germany between new “green” power and increase in CO2 emissions. It doesn’t matter how much wind or solar cost, you can’t depend on them being there when you need power.

                Of course you can use natural gas instead of coal if you like being dependent on Russia.

      Wind power can be a good use of marginal land, especially since it doesn’t preclude other uses. China’s west, like America’s, contains a lot of sparsely populated areas good for little more than grazing.

      Photovoltaics are good for generating power off the grid. Pakistani villagers use solar panels to charge their cell phones. China wants to make money selling them.

      Biofuel, eh, I don’t know. I don’t think that’s anywhere as big as the other two.

      • jim says:

        Without economical storage, wind power and solar power is not very useful. Has to be one hundred percent backed by coal, and your grid costs enormously exceed your generation costs.

        • ivvenalis says:

          The electrical grid is sufficiently complex/chaotic that operators may not be properly accounting for the costs you mention, and wind turbine owner/operators can still get paid enough selling power to make a profit. The motive for correct accounting is further undermined because the government isn’t actually going to let critical utilities shut down for lack of money. It’s also possible that some combination of pumped hydro + not actually backing wind generation 100% (more likely & feasible when demand is growing, as it is in China) allows an efficient profit. Most likely a combination of these factors. Either way I don’t think it requires a huge subsidy and and the opportunity cost is relatively low — knowing how to make turbines is good and the land they’re on doesn’t have any better uses.

            Which you usually do not.

            Absent pumped hydro, intermittent energy sources are just not worth the trouble.

              It would seem that something similar to hydro could work. Assume you live near a 100m+ hillside. A railroad car filled with sand, say 150 metric tons. A drop of only 100 meters provides approximately 42 KW-hrs storage per rail car. And weight powered generators are probably more efficient than hydro generators. There are thousands of acres of barren mountain hillside along the Diablo range in California. Just crank them up during the day and let them roll down at night.

        Not good. Costs are dominated by grid providing distribution and reliability. Take account grid costs, solar and wind is intolerably expensive. It is not so much the coal backup, as the grid distribution. If you have two sources of power located in different places, and sometimes access one, and sometimes the other, you grid costs roughly twice as much, and your grid is the dominant cost.

        So, to a good approximation, intermittent power is always twice as expensive as reliable power.

      Hi Jim, started reading you just recently.

      I am a Spaniard and deeply aware of white genocide for a number of years now. I am trying to rationally explain this but every model I come up with fails.

      If the elites behind white genocide are white, what is the advantage of replacing their peoples with others? Surely these others will want to have elites of their same race so they’ll eventually get replaced.

      If the elites are not white, then they must be jewish, mostly ashkenazi from the events we can witness, whatever their genetical history is. Can they effectively control continents of muslims (many of whom are also semites, but not the majority) and blacks, and bend them to their will? What will their stand be against yellow asians in this polarized future world? Will they be able to infiltrate them too if this is the case at all?

      How did the white elite come to be puppets or perpetrators of this sickening events?

        The company loves to go to the government and demand more H1B slaves, which are cheaper and more docile than Americans.

        Is the company and its HR people aware that in so doing they are making the Americans cheaper, more docile, and furthermore making American men in STEM lower status? How much are they aware of that and how much does crimestop prevent them from conscious awareness?

        Most people, especially non-intelligent people, have a very limited view of their situation, and the elite has ensured that there are local advantages to be gained through treason.

        In particular, access to better women.

        The elite in 1970 were WASPy and had christo-communist ideals. The elite of 2015 are jew-dominated with singularitarian ideals. The transition was fairly smooth, managed by the mass media especially the conservative media, and each step seemed like an okay idea at the time.

        What’s new is that the communists no longer are eaten last. Being a communist means you’re required to dogfood the sexual ideology meaning you get nothing.

        Which means all the intelligent young men understand that if you’re not a fascist you’re a faggot and if you’re not a faggot you’re a fascist.

        And we will slaughter the communists, because the major reason they went nuts and nominated crazy people to run in 2018 ensuring we win is that they were unable to tell a moderate from a deserter because they are terrified that we will impose justice.

          As I explained about entropy in the prior blog The optics of noticing, defection is entirely natural and on trend with the universal maximization of entropy. You fight nature at your peril.

          You will splinter into a multitude of tribes disagreeing over various matters and the entire Western civilization will collapse into chaos with AK-47s totting roaming gangs. You’re delusional if you think Trump is going to hold together a victorious super minority of conservatives unified along a well organized and well defined cooperation. That would be too highly ordered and negentropic.

          Order only increases when paradigms are small and growing as they can export entropy. Saplings grow to large oak trees, but oak trees don’t grow to the moon.

          The West is decadent and has far too many problems and too many opportunities for defection for their to be any salvaging of it. Kiss it goodbye. It’s in terminal decline.

        Its called progressivism and its a religion.

        White people especially white men have become evil demonic figures under modern progressivism because

        1) Bioleninism. White males are naturally higher status then the coalition of the fringes.

        2) White men have by and large rejected progressivism in modern times and hence must be evil.

        Now greed and non progressive ethnonationalism among other groups plays a role, but it would all fall apart without the “religious” impetus.

        BTW Spain seems to me to be a deeply sick country looking at it from the outside… you had 50% youth unemployment AND mass immigration at one point. How did your politicians avoid lampposts? Spain doesn’t have the massive police/army infrastructure to protect them.

          I know about left and progressivism and all that, they are pretty sick from the point of view of self preservation of life and genetic continuation, but why did elites choose to finish off their own people (assuming elites are white)?

          Spain is a very sick country yes. People’s brains are a continuation of the TV so they are totally brainwashed. They are childless fucktards working their asses off just to see brack africans having 3, 4 or 5 children, and they call you nazi if you point out this fact. (yes I am currently working on a plan to get the hell out of here, most likely to the East, not to the dumpster that any major Western city is/will become)

          • X says:

            Because they don’t have any choice. If they didn’t do it, then nature would replace them with elite who would do it. Because nature needs defection in order to maximize entropy.

        Holiness spiral.

        In a holiness spiral everyone knows where the spiral is going, and nobody wants to go there, but everyone wants to be the first to take one more step in that direction.

        It is more accurately modeled as demonic possession than “the Jews”

        Suppose you are Canaanite, late bronze age, early iron age. You worship Moloch. Who demands that you burn your children alive in front of the congregation.

        All the nice respectable important people worship Moloch, and if you want to get ahead in your society, you need to be a nice respectable person also. And if you are ambitious, you had better demonstrate that you worship Moloch even more sincerely and enthusiastically than your neighbor.

        The Canaanite state department sends out true believers in Moloch to neighboring land, where they show how sincere they are, what true believers they are. When people from other lands visit, they are steered into locations full of high status canaanites with strong and sincere faith, and if they want to be high status like those people they should be virtuously true believers like those people. When people in other lands start worshiping Moloch, that gives the Canaanite state department a leg up to influence and control those other lands through its quietly state sponsored missionaries.

          Indeed Jim, this inertia you describe is one of the mechanisms by which civilization as an analogy to oak trees (referring to my reply to @peppermint), matures then rots and decays. Entropy forces a cycle. Without cycles nothing could exist in our universe:

        • >In a holiness spiral everyone knows where the spiral is going, and nobody wants to go there, but everyone wants to be the first to take one more step in that direction.

          It has striking parallels to the tragedy of commons. But in a tragedy of commons it is easy to see everybody wants more cows, but it is not so easy to see why the spiral is going exactly in that direction and why nobody seems to be able to push it somewhere else.

          The tragedy of commons is usually solved by privatization, but it seems human social behavior as such is inherently social and not-privatizable. I mean, to a certain extent it is, a society can split into sub-societies, tribes, each with their own status ladders and spirals. But that is just more, smaller commons. And if human cooperation is our greatest strength and if we split into clans and clan wars where each clan is a closed status ladder, a more cooperative nation next door eats the clannish one for breakfast.

          I suppose this is why a state church under a king is the only solution. If air pollution or overfishing of the oceans is not solvable by privatization because it is hard to split it up, then you privatize it without splitting it up, making one guy the global owner of air or owner of the ocean fish, however crazy and far-fetched it sounds.

          I haven’t seen any libertarian solutions for this tragedy of non-splittable commons. If they exist, I would listen, as perhaps the idea can also be borrowed for dealing with human social behavior, holiness spirals and status ladders.

            They are trying to push it somewhere else, but it is not easy, since the KKKrazy glue holding the coalition of the fringest together is hatred of straight white males. They can see it is heading towards genocide, and are trying to steer it towards Venezuelan socialism instead – which is not as bad, but is still extremely bad. But they are not actually having that much success in steering.

          • >but it is not so easy to see why the spiral is going exactly in that direction and why nobody seems to be able to push it somewhere else

            On second thought, it may be because of the sunken costs fallacy. My favorite example of a right-wing and distinctly Continental European (to show it is really a human universal) spiral was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gott_strafe_England look at the cuff link. Basically, conspicious patriotism, supporting an immensely destructive and costly war that everybody would be happy to end with a white peace now but nobody wants to be the guy who proposes it firsts and everybody wants to be the guy who is more enthusiastically supporting the war than his neighbor.

            And the reason was sunken costs. “We sacrificed so much, it cannot be for nothing, it cannot be meaningless.”

            Is this always the reason? If I already burned one of my children for Moloch, then my choices are I either admitting it was a horrible immoral crazy mistake, or decide if I sunk such a cost into it I should try to get something out of it and try to get status preaching that burning children to Moloch is good and because others do the same I will soon have to burn by second one just to keep up? That is the engine? Sunken costs?

      • The problem with your question is the assumption of coordinated behavior, long-term planning amongst the elites. This is not true. Evil is chaos, chaos is evil, evil never cooperates well. Rather it is their internal competition that drives these results. White genocide is a result, not a goal as such. The goals – not coordinated, but individual goals – 1) getting more money out of the taxpayer for solving social problems by importing people who cause social problems 2) import people who will happily vote for socialism 3) bioleninism. Look up that term on Spandrell’s blog. In short, the idea is that people who are unable to succeed on their own in life, only with help from the elites, will be loyal to the elites. That is, back when the Soviet Union put complete dumbfuck proles into party cadre positions, they were loyal. When they began to use some more meritocracy in promotions (hoping to improve economic efficiency) the new cadre quickly figured they could also be on top in a more private property oriented system, they could become oligarchs or something, so they had no incentive to be loyal and defend the system.

        When you see Africans tearing down the fence in Ceuta, and the police does nothing, probably because the Spanish government ordered them to stand down, that is partially because a lot of people on the top in Spain see them as excellent excuses to raise your taxes and spend it on, say, their good friends who are teachers and will be hired to teach those guys Spanish. But only partially. Mostly they are just following the fashion, the latest religion from Washington.

        While the whole thing is not coordinated but based on competition within elites, it generates a religion where whites are evil and immigrants are holy. You and I, of a Catholic background may find it difficult to imagine how it works. Anglos with Protestant backgrounds find it easier to imagine, because it is exactly how the Reformation worked, every preacher competed with each other for being the holiest holy and attracting a following and thus gaining power, and yet the result still was something that looked coordinated. And it seems back then, just like now, this inner chaos was turned into something more coordinated looking at the universities. But this primarily happens in American and to a lesser extent British universities today, in Continental Europe it mostly comes over as the latest fashion, the new cool thing you must follow kind of thing. Doing a semester in Cambridge or Oxford with the Erasmus programme helps in having a close peek at it.
