The parable of the Wicked Vinedressers

Don’t worry. This not going to turn into a Christian blog. The Dark Enlightenment is about material and effective causation and falsifiable truths.

But the Dark Enlightenment is also about religion, largely because we are trapped in a holiness spiral, and a holiness spiral that is increasingly becoming demon worship.

The parable of the Wicked Vinedressers tells us that “Judeo-Christianity” is a hostile Jewish entryist movement against Christianity, just a Socinianism was a hostile nontrinitarian entryist movement against Christianity.

Foreseeing his crucifixion, Jesus told us that God was going to become so pissed with the Jews that he was going to ditch them, and adopt someone else. The Christian Church is the new Israel. For this reason the parable tends to get stuffed behind the water heater in the basement along with Saint Paul on marriage and on the recruitment of Bishops. (The new bibles that translate Paul from the Greek as using some word other than “Bishop” are lying. His words on the priesthood have long been an embarrassment to the Church, and now some Churches have taken to just flat out lying about them.)

Who is the new Israel is way off topic. Not a fit topic for a Dark Enlightenment blog. Entryism, however, is right on topic.

As with all parables, the narrator, or in this case the narrator followed by Jesus himself, nudges us in the ribs and explains what the parable is all about, and Jesus then segues the parable into prophesy. That Israel will be destroyed and its people replaced. Which prophesy came to pass a generation later.

OK. So no such thing as Judeo-Christianity. Replacement theology, supersessionism, comes right from the horses mouth. The Christian Church has replaced Israel in God’s plan. Supersessionism is official, and any Church stuffing it into basement behind the water heater along with the rest of all the embarrassments is heretical.

Gnon, of course, works through material and effective causation. And while the final cause of the expulsion may well have been Divine Wrath, the material and effective cause was –

wait for it.

wait for it.

– Following the letter of the law at the expense of the spirit of the commandments.

A mob of Jews coveted someone else’s land and took it, and then when the Romans came around to sort out the disturbance, killed a centurion, or as I prefer to say it, killed a cop.

Well, the Romans had plenty more centurions, and ordinarily the matter would not have led to much, but in this case one thing led to another, and eventually to the prophesied fall of Jerusalem and the prophesied destruction of the Temple (there is a pile of prophesy about this event, which I am unlikely to cover) and the reason things got so totally out of hand was that the Jews were so self righteous about the matter.

And the reasoning behind their extreme holiness was that it is more important to strictly observe the law on contamination by blood, even if it is merely chicken blood, than the commandments on coveting, theft, and murder. You see, they took that land for extremely holy reasons. It seems that getting a cop’s blood on you is less important than walking on land that might be contaminated with chicken blood and they took that land because it was very close to the narrow access path to the synagogue, and they needed to prevent it from being contaminated by chicken blood.

There are a lot of prophecies relating to the expulsion, but this is not going to become a Christian blog, so I will skip the rest of them, even though some of them relate to material and effective causation. Religion is on topic when it impacts material and effective causation, as it frequently does.

And material and effective causation should impact religion. Hence, the Dark Enlightenment faith of Gnon.

    Hey Jim, what do you make of this man’s metaphysics?

    https://antiquitystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/The-Codex-v6.pdf

    I admit, he’s not really a believer in Christ from what I can see. Still, he looks to have some interesting arguments.

    Srdja Trifkovic on European depopulation.

    ———-
    On the debit side, however, is where we find the busted lock. There is a malaise affecting all of Europe: an ageing population and falling fertility. I have known that for years, of course, but it was in Nice, on the iconic Promenade des Anglais, that I suddenly realized that most people walking on the street were old, seriously old, and that there were precious few children running along the walkway, or playing on the beach below. The same applied to Montpellier’s gardens in France, to the Italian Como’s lakefront, and to every other location I visited.

    The numbers are scary. In 1960 the population of today’s European Union accounted for 13.5 percent of the global total. By 2018 this figure had fallen below 7 percent, and on current form it will drop to 4 percent by 2070. By that time the inversion of the population pyramid will no longer be possible. There will be no “Europeans” left.

    Vox Day’s blog just got removed. Something about being in “violation” of rules.

    • Dox Gay says:

      It was utterly idiotic on his part to not relocate to his own website, staying on the Blogger platform instead. What was he thinking lol?

      • The Original OC says:

        He should have at least bought his own domain name so he could redirect to an alternative site without losing a ton of traffic.

        He’s a smart businessman, whatever else can be said for him – what was he thinking?

    • jim says:

      It is a violation of the rules to speak the truth on blogspot.com. He never should have been there.

      • pyrrhus says:

        Vox lives in Northern Italy, the EU likes to fine American tech companies large amounts for their misbehavior, and Vox can afford lawyers…But I understand that he does have alternative plans, apart from UATV, not sure what they are…

        • non-kiwi says:

          Vox lives in Switzerland. He was doxxed on Kiwifarms about a month ago. The JPG with the evidence is very concise and convincing. The primary resource used was the photos Vox’s wife was posting to Instagram.

          Posting photos to instagram is something women do to impress prospective male mates and prospective female rivals. One wonders why Vox’s wife felt it necessary.

          Blogger’s terms of service does talk about how you shouldn’t lie about your country of origin.

      • Pooch says:

        Vox is not as smart as he thinks.

        • pyrrhus says:

          Vox backed off Google last year, but maybe the climate in the EU has changed…But pretty sure Blogger can’t afford billion dollar fines…

    • Alfred says:

      I’d been wondering why they allowed the blog to stay up as long as they did. They probably found his Q-faggery useful for a while.

      I’m sure he got nailed because the ever tighter clamping down on unapproved COVID information.

    • Anonymous says:

      It would seem his new site is available here:
      https://www.milobookclub.com/

      But it also seems that Vox is still using gmail. Sad.

      • Karl says:

        Only he himself knows to what extent his use of gmail is limited and what else he uses.

        Maybe he really is looking for a chance to sue Blogger in an Italian court (or anywhere else). Maybe he is only using gmail to a very limited extent and only for legal reasons related to his announced litigation.

        It is difficult for anyone on the outside to estimate his chances. Maybe it will be profitable for him to sue Blogger, maybe not. His claim that he is not surprised by Blogger’s cancellation seems credible. So it is too soon to know whether he did something smart or something dumb.

        • jim says:

          > Only he himself knows to what extent his use of gmail is limited and what else he uses.

          If he was using blogspot heavily, he is using gmail heavily.

          Hell, I don’t even use SHA256, even though I know it is as pure as the driven snow, because I figure that if you use a clean algorithm that the NSA has touched, you are going to wind up inadvertently using a dirty algorithm that the NSA has powned. I do use the enemy services, but only for identities that I want the authorities to know about and know what that identity is doing, only for what I deliberately want our enemies to see.

      • jim says:

        I expect that most of my readers know, but needs repeating. Everything you send through gmail is scanned by the world’s best and most powerful AI (or at least it used to be the best and most powerful before they lobotomized it to stop it from seeing race and sex) and the good stuff is forwarded to your enemies.

        And if you are a business using Google Analytics, Google leases out the use of your customer list to your competitors. It therefore seems likely that if you are a political website using Google Analytics …

        Similarly, everything you upload to the cloud backup service that your android phone keeps nagging you to use. I don’t have direct knowledge that the same is true for Microsoft’s cloud service, but it seems likely because Skype calls are also scanned by speech to text algorithms, and if the AI thinks the text is hot, the video and audio forwarded to the US government, but the speech recognition is really bad, making this spying of limited value.

        • c4ssidy says:

          I don’t know much about government but I know of Amazon’s Alexa which is probably not so far behind in technical capacity, it uses low-paid and low-skill datacenters in Chennai to check (and train) what the AI picks up, which is then passed up to college grads in Massachusetts to evaluate the device’s actual response, a place with real trannies who get real PTSD if for some reason a person keeps saying very insensitive stuff. If you speak very quickly and use a lot of slang the AI totally fails (you can even test this yourself using the Alexa request log which customers can view on their account), the Indians then fail to transcribe it just as much which means after it passes up through the system the trannies are forced to listen to and write out your utterance in order to evaluate whether the device response was correct. The requests also tend to fail whenever multiple people are speaking or if there is background media speech. It is not great, but also huge amount of resources being put in to improve it, and it could perhaps get very good in a matter of years even if the smart fraction can always mutate their language around it

          In theory every sound wave is always going to be a particular word, and with enough time and human effort they are going to get everything 1:1

          Deciphering a hateful intent is the hard part. Facebook AI can pick up “duh huh I hate the n” type rants and moderate them without human intervention, but fails spectacularly if the user applies the slightest amount of poetic mutation to their words, and I think always will, humans have a knack of mutating their language due to our tribalistic nature, and a machine trained by other humans to recognise it is always going to lag behind. The main game is therefore using big data to narrow down the government’s focus so that the subset is small enough to dedicate their limited resource of college-educated and security-cleared human actors to read and evaluate directly

      Vox’s post on Gab

      Vox Day
      @voxday

      11h
      ·
      Google struck at Vox Popoli today, as you can see:

      https://voxday.blogspot.com

      Of course, we’ve been prepared for this and the backup site is already up and running, with a new post and all posts dating back to 2003. I’ll provide the URL later today.

      No worries, no fear. Conflict is the air we breathe!

      • The Original OC says:

        He didn’t see it coming:

        1. didnt use the original domain to bootstrap the new domain

        2. the new domain is dumb and doesnt relate to the old domain or his content.

        not trying to kick a man while he’s down. am trying to say it’s weak to complain about oppression when even our best guys take so few precautions.

        Imagine if Donald Trump had set up his own twitter app in 2017. People would have installed it.

        • nils says:

          “he didnt see it coming” the man has spoken about the coming canceling for years, has had posts on the backup plan going back years, try not to let your dislike for the man show yourself as an idiot.

          • The Original OC says:

            If he had seen it coming he would have registered a domain like http://www.voxpopoli.com and pointed it to his blogger for several years, advertising it frequently on his blogspot, while maintaining a self-hosted mirror of his blogspot, and when the blogspot went down he would have updated the DNS to point the domain to the mirror, resulting in no visible disruption of service other than the disappearance of the blogger url, which only a small minority of his user base would still be using.

            But doing it the way he did it, maybe he saved $20/mo.

            • jim says:

              I maintain two servers in the cloud, and several domain names, while only using one. One of the servers mirrors the other. I have a backup server in my home, and if both existing servers went down, it would take me a little while to export the home backup server to a new server in the cloud. If my existing domain name appears to be at risk, I have some more that do not have a common point of failure, and will start redirecting from my at risk domain name to another domain name. If my existing domain name were to go down suddenly and unexpectedly, I would have a problem, but Vox Day should have expected his domain name to go down, claims to have expected his domain name to go down, and failed to make any preparation.

          • Dox Gay says:

            A dislike well-earned and well-justified.

          • jim says:

            Vox Day did not see it coming.

            If he had, would have been redirecting to his own domain name on his own server.

            I am pretty sure my existing server and domain name are safe, but have taken precautions.

            • nils says:

              Strange. He did redirect his actual readers to his backup, which is, as of a few moments ago, working. Bizarre tho, i will admit, that a man who didn’t see it coming and didn’t discuss it with his readers just so happens to have written about the ban he didn’t see coming and made public the plan for where his blog would be after the banhammer fell. no doubt you know better tho jim. I cant wait for your post about how VoxDay doesn’t have a backup and how he didn’t publicize it.

                i dont know if thats his plan, if it is it seems kinda dumb but maybe he knows something i dont, why people here who have been flat out lying about him, feel the need to call me a faggot i dont get, if you dont want snark you can treat others honestly and not lie outright about what they have said, if you dont like the man, and he is a bit blind about somethings, say what you dont like. The man said he would be cancelled, he was, his backup is so far working, if you want to feel superior over some ideological differences in your circle jerk go ahead. I told you he saw it coming, you doubled down because you look down on him as a fool, maybe he is a shill or some weird fedgoat, but the man did see it coming and his stated plan so far seems to be working, that someone is trying to post under a different name to hide their hatred for him, is big gay.

                  Hey cocksucer, go ahead and inform us:

                  His plan is working, but on a platform so insecure as the one he was on, should have had redirects in place before getting the heave ho.

                  His plan is not working, in that most readers will not know where to go.

                  If no redirects, and no prospect of getting them up in due course, not working that well.

                  I regularly snark at Vox Day. There is a lot to snark about. But his work on Social Justice Warriors has been great and effective, and he got the replacement website up with impressive speed.

                  He pissed us off because he is a huge internet white knight like hes a huge faggot on this issue… and I still don’t agree with him painting Jordan Peterson as the antichrist or something (though purple pilled I like that Jordan Peterson is the only Cathedral priest who is somewhat redpilled on the woman question). His sexual hierarchy is also fake and gay. And of course he won’t name the gay when he white knights about gender neutral “pedophilia”.

                  Sigma’s might sort of be real (alphas without groups) but they aren’t as Vox Day describes them.

                  A real sigma is like a loner psychopath who everyone is afraid of or who they should be. Fictional examples are James Bond and The Man with No Name.

                  A real example was probably Ken McElroy (terrorized his little rural town for DECADES… before being subject to vigilante justice).

                  Vox Day is many things, but I don’t think he is a real sigma.

    • Cloudswrest says:

      Speaking of Voxday,

      Fred Reed has a recent strawman article up on Unz arguing antisemitism is due to goy jealousy of Jewish success, due probably to their superior average IQ. Essentially recapitulating black animosity to whites due to white superiority. Reed doesn’t address the more likely hypothesis that antisemitism may be a reaction to overt “antigoyists” policies, practices and lobbying by stereotypical Jews.

      Vox attacks Reed’s essay using an attack vector that Jews don’t really have a superior IQ, which is specious, rather than Fred is wrong because of the second hypothesis.

      • pyrrhus says:

        No..Vox makes the same points he has made for a decade..the original “Ashkenazi have 115 IQ “assertion came from a study of children entering Jewish day schools..the same study found that the white European children entering had an IQ of 118….He also points out that if Ashk Jews in Israel are that smart, the other Jews would have an average IQ of 84, based on total statistics…not possible…Of course, Fred has also posted numerous articles about how brilliant Mexicans and other Latinos are, to much ridicule……

        • pyrrhus says:

          In my experience at (University Jim wants to blow up), the Jews tended to be mid-level, with the smartest people in math and science courses mostly white Europeans…That was long ago, when there was still a merit based admission policy…

        • Cloudswrest says:

          All that you say about Jewish IQ may be true, but it is irrelevant. Antisemitism is not due to Jewish IQ. Blaming IQ, or debunking claims of IQ, are misdirection and strawmen.

    • FrankNorman says:

      VoxDay’s new site is http://voxday.net/

      I think the reason they suddenly shut him down was not the political stuff – but rather a recent post he made on a quite different topic: Advertising.

      People who buy online advertising in the hope that this will increase their number of customers, tend to be disappointed, according to Mr Day. It seldom even breaks even, in terms of cost/benefit.

      And that’s what Google did not like to see being said.

      • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

        There arguably was a time when there was some value-add, back when when online advertising cost only fractions of a penny on the dollar in the first place (since it likewise cost entities like google almost nothing to offer it, since usable architecture was already there anyways for the sake of other functions, it just needed to be exploited).

        There has since been something of a second ‘dot com bubble’ in a sense though, as more and more parties are drawn in by pitches of ‘big data’, and price likewise goes up, but the consumer effect largely remains the same.

  4. The Nomad Chad says:

    Someone a few posts ago was talking in the comments about creating an offshore company. The context was keeping money from being seized without having to hold 100% crypto. This would also potentially have tax benefits. Especially as you could operate crypto business in places that don’t tax crypto.

    (As much as I agree with you, Jim, that crypto doesnt really need to be cashed out, I haven’t seen many people buying property with bitcoin. )

    Anyway, I’d like to know if any of you have experience and/or ideas on how to structure such a company. Or at least who would I ask to find out? What countries are best for this? Obviously the company needs to have a bank account. Do you open that in the same jurisdiction or elsewhere? You then pay yourself an income or dividends, depending on when and where.

    • jim says:

      Most tax havens are scams.

      I have not done this, but if I was going to do it:
      https://www.taxhaven.org/tax_havens_of_the_world/tax_haven_dubai/

      If a tax haven does not have its own loyal army, I figure it must be fake.

      I don’t think Dubai is in business as a tax haven. I don’t think the sovereign thinks of it as a tax haven. It is just that he is, being a secure monarch with sons, and having a personally loyal army, taxing at the long term laffer maximum rather than the short term laffer maximum. He has a natural monopoly on infrastructure, and charges like a wounded bull on infrastructure, so just does not care about chasing down people’s complicated financial activities.

      If he started trying to follow all the paperwork, would find himself with a dangerously large and powerful bureaucracy between him and the money that knows more about what is going on than he does. And since the natives don’t like that kind of work and are not very good at it, he would probably find that the bureaucracy was being run de-facto by Jews and Christians, whom he does not trust.

      The basic economic theory behind Dubai is not regulatory arbitrage, but “Hmm. I am sovereign over a large amount of barren empty desert with a hellish climate. How do I turn barren empty desert with a hellish climate into incredibly expensive real estate, and then sell it at astronomical prices?”

      For him, taxing and regulating financial transactions is just Jews predating on Jews. Complicated, boring, and it would probably turn out that he was the pigeon being plucked.

      However, in Dubai, some crypto currency activities require a crypto currency license – I don’t know what is involved, but I suspect the major point of the license is to get some of the money.

      If you set up a crypto currency exchange, like Kraken or Binance, there is regulation. Some ICOs are regulated some are not, depending on how the bureaucracy feels, and probably on whom you bribe. But I don’t think you are planning to be another binance, nor to launch an ICO.

      On the other hand, Dubai has laws (which are enforced with vigor and effectiveness) against money laundering, and I suspect that what you have in mind might well look like money laundering.

      I would do it the old fashioned way, bitcoin for used notes. But I am a hodler, so have no practical experience.

The judiciary and the executive branch are essentially powerless, with the President just being a ceremonial smiling face figurehead over the actions of the legislative branch.

          Kamala fits the bill of putting a holy sheboon in to ceremonially rubber stamp the actions of the elites in Congress. It’s why the elites love her so much even though the masses hate her. It really doesn’t matter because she will hold no power similar to the Queen of England.

While it contains a cosmetic monarchical hierarchy, in every way this “executive branch” is substantively managed—in personnel, process, organization and purpose—not by the White House, but by Capitol Hill. Indeed, the White House itself may be best seen as part of the legislative branch. The destiny of the Presidency is to be an elected celebrity which the Congress parades in front of whatever it does.

              This engineering defect in the Constitution is not new. Woodrow Wilson noticed it. Ultimately it is a flaw in the concept of separating judicial, legislative and executive powers—a weird British idea from the 18th century, which never really worked. Sorry. The business end of our government is Capitol Hill. Behind it lies the aforementioned theocratic oligarchy, which is its brain and its voice—but in front of it lies nothing.

              Capitol Hill is no longer even a legislative or parliamentary organ. It is not a legislative organ because no objective observer would describe its thousand-page ukases as “laws”—actual law in America today is administrative law. It is not a parliamentary organ because its functional process does not include members convincing other members by making convincing speeches in a hall full of members.

                As Alfred just pointed out, the CDC just legislated, and its legislation, unlike that of congress, actually gets enforced.

                The CDC is the executive branch, the presidency. The president is a figurehead, even more so now we have a senile president and a female vice president.

                  Why would they even want to? The administrative state increases their power not diminishes it. They select all the heads of every agency and have the power to fire them as well (through the figurehead president). Why couldn’t Trump fire Wray and the CIA bitch?

                Administrative “law” presupposes that the bureaucracy operates by known rules and procedures. It does not. Process is being abandoned. Not only is it strangled in red tape, but the red tape has become random shreds though being broken so often. Because the red tape stops anyone from accomplishing anything, sooner or later someone powerful demands that something be done regardless, and pretty soon one has a bureaucracy that is completely arbitrary, ad hoc, and unpredictable. It is capable only of executive action, and not really capable of that, because no executive.

                  Perhaps he feels he’s done good enough by getting people to think about the ‘theocratic oligarchy’ part first to begin with – but purple pill (truth mixed with lies) is worse than pink pill (truth with some truths left implicitly unsaid).

                  Moldbug also said that AOG was a theocratic oligarchy – and specifically, that academic bishoprics – archetypified by Harvard – and media preachers – archetypified by The New York Times – were officially unofficial branches of the officially unofficial government; the stable power of such over the unstable revolutionary chaos of ‘popular governance’, that cuts off the heads of any that stick up prominently, being a natural consequence of such; the governance of such secured and facilitated by the civics 101 smokescreen, exercise of authority divorced from conscious recognition of responsibility for exercise of it’s authority.

            He _was_ impeached, and nothing of consequence happened. Nobody really gives a shit about an impeachment: it’s ink written on water. Your brain on democracy

            If Trump could have told the men with guns what to do – directly, without going through a million layers of bureaucracy – something might have gotten done. Instead, the men with guns were ordered by bureaucrats to stand around the capitol (without guns), just in case the morons who showed up on the 6th actually meant business next time. They didn’t mean business the first time and they won’t next time

            Namefag Yarvin’s analysis is that the state sets policy independently of the nominal leadership of “Democratic” nations, whereas for example Stalin exercised strict, absolute, unquestioned Monarchical control over the policies his bureaucracies were tasked with.

              That is the complete opposite of what I am saying. Voting doesn’t work because voting is rigged. Yarvin’s and my position is that the only solution is complete and utter regime change. Nothing less, including voting in Trump or passing laws in the existing system, is sufficient.

The president has very little power, as Trump demonstrated by attempting to rule, and the legislature has absolutely no power. It does not even attempt to rule, and only goes through the frivolous superficial ritual motions of legislating and budgeting, which empty meaningless rituals have ever poorer attendance, and are carried out ever less completely and more erratically.

        Agreed. The only issue is the exceptional cases. Like gearing up for war, dealing with environmental cataclysm, large festivals, etc. Right now, we have a lot of men that should be married and busy, but they are single and unengaged. This is the problem I’ve run into in organizing and participating in men’s groups. The attached guys don’t need to bother with slaying pussy, and the single guys can’t find worthy women (or so the claim goes). Some single guys are perfectly charming and self-controlled, but a lot of them are a social liability unless it’s a bar or some other boisterous venue.

        Another issue is just how socially retarded right-wing men can be. Behind the keyboard they are articulate, knowledgeable, and confident. In public they are gawky, weird, and annoying. We need a Finishing School for NEETs, spergs, and shitlords.

          If you had a few men get together and do a fight club style meetup, that awkwardness would go away pretty quick. I was an awkward little shit until I started lifting heavy and realized that I was going to win 99/100 fights.

          Social anxiety and especially approach anxiety come from the threat of approaching a woman and having to potentially fight for her. If you are weak, you will be more anxious. If you are strong, you do not need to be anxious because you can hurt anyone who threatens you. Once you reach that point, you are unlikely to get into a fight because anyone who cannot fight you will not out of fear, and those who can will not out of respect and the risk of fighting a peer. Being a sociopath helps, but the most important thing is to be strong and fit.

          In medieval times, pretty much every man was a member of a peer group that had informal legal status, not quite a guild, but nevertheless would have members represent the peer group and their interests in legal proceedings and negotiations with authorities. Said peer groups being generally organized around profession, often quite specific. Apprentices would hang out with apprentices, often only within the same trade, and so on. Unlikely that single men would be tempted to adultery when your male friends have plenty of sisters, daughters, and cousins running around for you to marry.

          Back in the day, there was no man without a tribe, and hardly any men went unsocialized to the extent that they could not fit in with other men. There is a lot of social technology that we have completely lost, to which there is nothing comparable in the modern world. Hard to build a cohesive tribe without all that in the background.

I should not have let my family know but I live with them 24/7 and I can’t seem to keep my fucking trap shut so this is what I get.

    I went to vespers on Saturday and liturgy today at a local cathedral. The only people The cantor and pastor both said some brief sympathetic things about the covid situation. What little I had a chance to say about my own situation fell on sympathetic ears. The cantor deals with outreach it looks like. I have not yet told either of them I want to join the church because of my vaccine issue. I am worried about appearing mercenary.

  9. Basil says:

    If we talk about the Jewish question, in the Orthodox environment this is actually not discussed. There are no screams about Judeo-Christian civilization or stories about the dangers of Jewishness at the same time. Attitudes toward Jews seem to range from neutral to moderately negative. This does not mean that the Orthodox Church does not make mistakes in other areas. For example, according to modern Orthodox practice, a person can easily marry a “divorced” woman, although this directly contradicts the words of Jesus. On the other hand, a person cannot get married without the approval of the state, which killed the Orthodox faith in Russia centuries ago and whose “family” laws directly contradict Scripture. Only a very rare and risky priest will agree to marry a couple without a “state marriage”. The average Orthodox priest does nothing to preserve the Russian people, even if he understands that the RUSSIAN Orthodox Church exists only thanks to him. The Orthodox priest simply turns a blind eye to the fact that the country is becoming more and more Muslim.

    Second. It seems to me that the requirement for ordinary Christians to follow “husband of one wife” is the same game of holiness. Especially if we believe that adultery is a problem because of the violation of a man’s property rights. There is nothing in the Bible to indicate that plural marriage is forbidden to anyone other than the priesthood.

    Third. I don’t see men willing to uphold patriarchy even if they don’t get pussies. Almost no one dreams of virgins. Most use whores / prostitutes / porn / anime. The “right” may agree that divorce and abortion is a problem, but it will be very difficult for you to find the right one who agrees with real solutions to these problems. It is not difficult to find a right-wing person who speaks of third-wave feminism as a problem, but a right-wing person who speaks of first-wave feminism as a problem is a statistical error.

    • neofugue says:

      The official policy of the Orthodox Church on marriage and sex is outlined in Saint Basil’s Canons; canons 4, 9, 21, 35, and 50 are relevant to subjects mentioned in OP.

      http://www.holytrinitymission.org/books/english/canons_fathers_rudder.htm#_Toc78634056

      Divorce is allowed in the case of sexual immorality, but female-initiated divorce is forbidden. Second and third marriages are allowed, but only as a preventative measure against further whoredom. Polygamy is prohibited. There is no listed requirement for marriages being conducted with or without state approval, and a priest permitting female-initiated divorce does so in error.

      > Almost no one dreams of virgins.

      What does the conquerer do when he takes over? Assuming not gay or deviant, does he gets a harem of:

      A. 1000 Prostitutes.
      B. 1000 Widows.
      C. 1000 Virgins.

      Anyone who says he does not have a preference for virgins is a liar, to himself and/or to others, out of wishing to be politically correct and/or out of an inability to procure one.

      • Basil says:

        In the canons of the holy fathers, it may be like this, but in practice you need to have a bro-priest from a small rural parish or go to a wedding in Georgia in order to avoid state registration of marriage. In the canons of the holy fathers, divorce on the initiative of a woman is prohibited, but the practice of application is slightly different.

      I’ve seen many people on the right saying on messages boards that giving women the vote was a mistake. But no one can say it publicly without being canceled.

      • Basil says:

        I don’t think the messages on some boards are representative. In addition, when it comes to such resources, visitors are more inclined towards solutions that involve more nationalization of vaginas, rather than privatization of vaginas.

        A man may want to live on a personal estate in the south with a personal harem and vineyards, but since this is perceived as something unlikely, most men tend to pursue less complex goals. You can offer a man to choose between a harem of prostitutes / widows / virgins. He considers such a proposal to be theoretical, like a proposal to choose between an estate in Italy / Spain / France. The preference for a villa in Italy does not play a big role if the person does not believe that he can get this villa without breaking his ass.

      It doesn’t. According to the canons if you marry a divorced woman you are guilty of adultery and must make a penance for adultery, even though you never actually committed adultery yourself.

    I always laugh when goys point to Christianity as truth. Christianity was the result of 2 Jews – Jesus and much more importantly, Paul – subverting Rome by riling up the underclass of women, slaves, and poles, telling them that they were morally equal in the eyes of God to Roman male citizens. There is nothing more radical than that. This is just what Jews do, work to subvert and destroy goy society. And history repeats. Just as Jews destroyed Rome with Christianity, Jews are destroying the west with this essentially animalistic anti-white, anti-rational, barbarism quasi-religion by riling up and importing mud underclasses. And if I were a betting man I would say it’s going to continue to be successful.

          When you say “fascism” all you are saying is “roll leftism back to the 1930s” – which is as hopeless and pointless as every cuckservative who wants to roll leftism back to 2014.

          When Hitler launched the attack on Russia, he found that socialism had destroyed the logistic capability that he needed.

          Franco managed to stick around long enough to find that socialism no longer works once you run out of other people’s money, and rolled it back, and having rolled it back, found he had nothing, that his belief system had hollowed out, so his system died with him. Framcoism without socialism was empty. Nazism without socialism would have been empty.

            The German model of blood and soil socialism would have worked fine, and they punched far above their weight in the war given that enormous GDP differential.

And by the way, neither does Orban in Hungary or Poland for the same reasons. Poland especially is rapidly turning shitlib.

              It did not work fine. The attack on Russia was a shambles logistically.

              Did not work for Franco either, and he did not have the excuse of war.

              And if socialism worked, which it did not and cannot, people only cared about socialism because actually hungry. Today, nobody cares. 1930s leftism not only failed catastrophically, it no longer has any appeal.

              Same story with Scandinavian socialism. Socialism failed to deliver. So they said “more socialism will deliver”.

              More socialism failed to deliver.

              So they said “Utopia has arrived”, and produced no end of highly scientific statistics proving that utopia had arrived.

              The people were unimpressed by statistics. So now they are importing a new people and getting rid of the old people.

              If Nazism had won, and stayed socialist, would have run the same course as Scandinavia. If, like Franco, had abandoned socialism, would then run the same course as Spain.

              Socialism is merely a tool for getting into power. And today is it is useless even for that. As I keep saying, if people not hungry, do not care about ownership of the means of production. But they are always going to care about ownership of the means of reproduction.

              If Throne and Altar promise that every man will be King and High Priest under his own roof, it is going to be mighty popular with those who have roofs and someone to rule over under that roof, or a reasonable prospect of acquiring roof, wife, and children should Throne and Altar come to power.

                Its hard to seperate the Reich’s capital and raw material controls from preparation for war, but the Reich’s agricultural socialism (which is what drove the famines and most of their atrocities) was inexcusable and purely just stupid socialism for socialism’s sake.

                Also the system of running a wartime economy in peacetime basically forced them to go to war or face collapse, a war they in the end probably could not have won. To win they needed to grab oil and the oil they needed was deep in the Russian Caucasus or in Iran.

                  I agree the Reich’s agriculture socialism was retarded. But where they lost was in Russia, and they had to go to war with Russia because Stalin was planning to attack Germany in as little as a couple weeks after Germany ended up attacking them. The reason Germany captured and killed so many early in that theater is Russia had a huge number of soldiers and materials prepared in offensive formation right on the border.

                  And even if true that Russia intended to attack imminently, irrelevant to the question of whether Socialism works. When Hitler attacked, he found his logistics were chaos. It is for this that Nazism was totally unprepared. Socialism failed for the Nazis.

                  There was multiple inflection points where Germany could have won WW2 but Hitler was more priest than warrior and insisted on his holy Jihad against the Soviet Union.

                  The Germans had a much larger army than the British, but no ability to bring it to bear against the British, and in the areas where they could fight limited wars with the British they had less ability to sustain attrition on both production and logistics grounds. Which is why they lost all those battles with the ostensibly weaker British.

                  The only chance for Germany was to take Moscow in 1941, and the only countries that could have made any difference to that fight were Japan and Italy, principally Japan..

                  The only chance for Germany was to not invade Russia, but to meet up with the Japanese in the former British empire. If they had defeated Russia, that would have merely postponed their defeat.

                  Supposing the Germans and Japanese had taken India, what would that have accomplished? India did not provide a large proportion of British war-making capacity.

                  Almost all British Empire war-making capacity was provided by the UK itself, secondly by Canada, thirdly by Australia.

                  Presumably the German-Japanese link-up isolates Australia, removing it from the British war effort, and maybe conquers it eventually.

                  But the UK-Canada power concentration would not be threatened by those losses, would have remained in the war, would have had more incentive to remain in the war since it would need to win in Europe to recover its other territories, and would be fighting with not much less capacity than historically. The UK-Canada concentration was outproducing the Germans in tanks and aircraft, so Germany’s basic problem of fighting a two-front war remains.

                  The only thing that could have induced UK-Canada to give up would have been the USA withdrawing its support, which makes Canada’s land defense unviable and the UK’s naval defense unviable. But the US government perceived it had more to gain from the war than the UK did.

                  It wasn’t realistic to expect there wouldn’t be a war ever with the Soviet Union. It’s hard to see why Stalin provoked WWII by giving the Germans the diplomatic cover they needed to go to war with France, if he didn’t hope to exploit the situation.

                  What went wrong for Stalin was that he probably expected a 3-5 year war between UK/France and Germany, which is also what British and German government statements were referring to in winter 1939/1940. What he got was a war that was over in less than one year.

                  The Germans were also more vulnerable to an attack than the Soviets were, because their only oil source was directly in the Soviet border. The Soviet oil was not directly on the German border. In my opinion, that is the main reason the Germans launched an attack on the Soviets.

                  Trade is one of the many advantages of not declaring war on everyone at once.

                  The sane way to provide logistics and conduct extortion is to shake down the people you can shake down because you don’t need them, and use the proceeds to buy stuff from people who produce what you need, because, because you need those people you cannot afford to be too rough on them.

                  Oil being shipped from Russia to Germany ran into tanks heading in the other direction.

                  That Russia had oil and Germany needed oil is a reason for not invading Russia – or Iran for that matter.

                  Germany linking up with Japan through the middle east would accomplish a solution to it’s shortage of key strategic resources, which was a major cause of defeat in the OTL.

                  Another factor behind it’s troubles with taking the bri’ish out of the war was partially doctrinal. The most valuable ship the Americans ever produced in the pacific war was was the PT boat; Germany needed squadrons of fastboats and destroyers armed with torpedoes and anti-aircraft guns to effectively blockage the islands, which could also contribute to the picket line of airdefense against incursions of the enemies bombers. Most submarines of the war are really better understood as semi-submersible torpedoboats, that primarily operated on the surface but which could go underwater to make attack runs; which is a tactical advantage, but which could not stay underwater for extended periods of time, which is a operational disadvantage, which made them easy prey for regular patrols of aircraft. The only ‘real’ submarine that could travel underwater for strategically useful distances was the type XXI elektroboot launched late in the war, and it was really just a waste of good sailors and resources to attempt interdiction with boats not armed with secondaries without developing that capability first. It was really psychological at heart; a maladaptive fear of anything that might involve ‘direct’ conflict with the english navy, with the use of semi-submersible craft provided a *feeling* of avoiding ‘direct’ conflict – but not the reality of such.

                  On the question of Russia, the communist army was really underwhelming in terms of performance, and even late in the war it wasn’t so much that they improved as the Germans ran out of gas before they did, in figurative sense (and also literal sense). An attempt at invasion by the bolsheviks against a good defense in depth through buffer zones by a power much greater than Finland would likely turn into an even greater catastrophe than the OTL invasion by the Germans themselves.

                  Once Germany and USSR were the only powers left on the continent of Europe, it was a Mexican stand-off, and the only question was who would perceive they had the best chance for war they were going to get first.

                  Nothing Germany could do could eliminate the British problem; that is, the creation of an Anglo-Canadian army of 50+ high quality divisions in Southern England by 1943/4. So eliminating the Soviets before this army could be created was the best they could do to avoid the multi-front war in practice. It was the best of several bad options, but the best nonetheless.

                  The Soviets performed terribly in 1941, but they outperformed expectations, and especially had more manpower (and continued to organize and deploy more manpower) than anyone expected. If the Soviets had performed more in line with expectations, and been as weakly equipped as their own propaganda had convinced much of the world they were, the Germans would have won the war in 1941.

                  The British would then be facing a multi-front war against a much superior opponent, an opponent that could then have turned all its resources to bombarding the British Isles. This was Germany’s only path to victory.

                  The British problem was that Britain would build an army that could threaten to invade Europe, forcing the Germans to deploy 1+ million men to defend against that invasion (which they did historically and failed to prevent the invasion) and Britain would build an air force that could bomb German cities every night, forcing the Germans to deploy 1+ million men to defend against these air attacks.

                  With this two-front war, hard to defeat another country that’s almost as strong as theirs.

                  The Germans had Greece, and Turkey was neutral, while Iran was on their side, because of Russian influence. So they had a Mediterranean trade route to Iran that did not require Iraq. There was a pile of neutral regimes between them and Iranian oil, which regimes ceased to be neutral when they invaded Russia. Before invading Russia, needed to secure those regimes, and ensure that they stayed off the backs of the merchants that Germany desperately needed. Outright conquest is too blunt an instrument when you need logistic capability, but the potential for outright conquest would have kept them from interfering with trade. Station troops along the trade route that could overthrow regimes, but refrain from doing so, so long as everything remains tranquil, and merchants and their goods can move freely. In particular, so long as oil is moving freely.

                  When Caesar crushed the Mediterranean pirates, he made empire possible. Impossible to do long distance conquest without merchants, as the Japanese Malaysian debacle demonstrated.

                  When NASA acquired Wernher von Braun as a prisoner, still could not launch rockets, even though he was cooperating. Had to put him in charge and tell everyone to treat him with the utmost respect.

                  “Since the regime fell, if they had anything so concrete as a plan and a date, we would now know.”

                  We DO know. Vox Day had a piece on this a few months back, discussing a recent book by a historian who’d been looking into the Soviet archives. His conclusions were, by some remarkable coincidence, almost exactly what was described in Icebreaker 30 years ago: that the Russians had moved everything into an offensive posture and were getting ready to go within a matter of weeks and possibly days.

                  If you claim the archives demonstrate the opposite, you need to provide some specifics, otherwise you’re just blowing smoke.

                  And the socialism thing is not what’s important about Hitler. What’s important about Hitler is that he put his finger on biological reality and attempted to build a societal policy derived from that in order to improve the quality of the people, while Christianity attempts to hand-wave away biological reality so nobody thinks about it and nobody has to confront the unpleasant and unfair parts of it. Christianity is primitive bioleninism. It’s dysgenic. Unless that tendency is seriously corrected, any society that adopts it will eventually founder.

                  Russian oil heading into Germany ran into Germany ran into German tanks heading into Russia. So obviously they were not getting ready to invade within weeks.

                  > If you claim the archives demonstrate the opposite

                  The archives don’t demonstrate the opposite. The lack of archives supporting the claim demonstrates the opposite. Similarly, we don’t have to provide evidence showing that flying saucers are not real. Those claiming that flying saucers are real have to provide the evidence, and the mysterious lack of evidence shows that an imminent invasion and flying saucers are not real.

                  I don’t have to provide evidence proving no invasion concretely planned. You have to produce evidence showing an invasion concretely planned. If concrete plans existed, we would have them now.

                  Further, Hitler himself did not say the Russian were preparing invasion. He said that conquest of Russia would persuade Britain to make peace. (It would not have. Conquest of the British Empire would have been a great deal more persuasive.)

                  That the Russians were preparing to invade is a retrospective rationale for Hitler being an idiot, cutting off his own logistics, and declaring war on everyone.

                  During the offensive against Russia, the supply of German goods to the Russian front descended into chaos. The socialist attitude that goods just magically spawn themselves and the capitalist just happen to have the goods for no good reason is what defeated Hitler.

                  His internal decisions bit him because of that fallacy, and his external decisions bit him worse. He cut off his external logistics with the outside world, and he cut off his own internal logistics within Germany, as became apparent during the offensive against Russia. Armies need merchants, and have to treat the merchants that they need with kid gloves.

                  German defeats on the battlefield were entirely the result of failures of logistics, and failures of logistics were entirely a result of socialism. Hitler needed to court the merchants, and court foreign governments protecting foreign merchants. He needed to do what China is doing right now.

                  As we speak, China is chatting up and sweet talking both the Taliban and the rump Afghan government in Kabul telling them both that so long as Chinese merchants can move stuff through the crossroads of Central Asia, everything is going to be fine.

                  Hitler was not defeated by the allies. He was defeated by his own socialism. His defeats were all logistic defeats. Armies are funded by plunder, but you have to avoid crapping in your own nest. You want to crap in the other guy’s nest. Nazi socialism is what defeated the Nazis.

                  Can you elaborate on this? I’ve always heard that Scandinavian socialism is a smashing success and the envy of the world. Obviously, the authorities who tell me this are not to be trusted, but Scandinavia isn’t exactly North Korea. People come and go all the time. Surely some of them would notice that it isn’t a prosperous, egalitarian, semi-utopia.

                  Scandinavian economies aren’t socialist, there isn’t market intervention as you imagine (economic freedom is rated higher than it is in America), it’s just that taxes are very high and the government also provides more extensive public services because of it. It’s not proof of success for socialism, it’d still be proof of success for market economies for surviving such high taxes. And Norway is also its own case, like Saudi Arabia, they make so much money with their oil that they’d be able to get away economically with just about any amount of mismanagement and not starve.

                  In my opinion the high taxes are terrible, and they are likely holding them back and making things far worse for their countries, but since the burden is put on the working classes who have borderline slavery income taxes while corporate taxes are lower than in America, it does not seem that detrimental to businesses investment. Many people insist that the high taxes are good for social welfare, but I’ve seen my good amount of bums and homeless while living there…

                  How good or bad the living is in a Scandinavian country isn’t entirely about economics though, while I was living in Copenhagen I found the city kinda dirty and their quality of life is supposed to be better than where I come from in Spain. A German woman from Munich I was friends with there considered the city disgusting unbearable levels of dirty. Is that economics? Is that culture? I’m not sure. Their supermarkets are also absolute dogshit, they feel like some poor third world level of product offering.

                  Another interesting fact to take into account is that Alfred Nobel had to leave his own country to find success and so did Niels Bohr. It was in evil capitalist Britain where they could do their thing.

                Because in that era, the army was the least of it; a campaign was basically a mobile city. They might take the raw materials from the countryside, but the necessary support personnel came with them (armorers, blacksmiths, tailors, cobblers, etc, etc, and of course, whores). Per one estimate I’ve seen, the supporting contingent averaged five times the size of the army proper.

              Look, the annual attempt at rehashing fascism 101 talking points! Cute.

              In every context where the nazis got around to implementing socialism, the normal and inevitable end result of socialism materialized rapidly – and many of the nazi atrocities were a direct result of them having to cope for the failure of socialism, and thus necessitating robbing and starving their conquests to feed the homeland. And they had hardly gotten started. National fascist socialism is probably slightly more workable than international marxist socialism, but it is necessarily inherently self annihilating, because capital and trade are necessary for large scale organization. It is the difference between voluntary cooperation and forced compliance. Somtimes you need force compliance, but cooperation is preferrable.

              Late roman paganism was somewhere on the spectrum between dead and buried, pointless hobbyism, and degenerate insanity. No end of men greater than any of us tried to fix it, and failed. If your religion leads to single women tripping at dionysian raves and drunken unemployed proles, you are fucked. Jews did not kill paganism, urbanization did.

              And if you had not noticed, hosts of saints are christianized pagan gods deemed fit for imitation, the Christian festivals are continuations of the nondegenerate and oldest pagan festivals, the churches are pagan temple halls with an altar patch, not synagogues, and the pagan worldview was present from the oldest times through dante to the rennaissance, only conspicuously becoming absent once the iconoclasts of the enlightenment put the great satanic project in motion. It is you and your kind who turned christianity from paganism with the christ+OT patch into the hollow husk of heresy that defiles its name today, and that you attack.

          The retarded parts of fascism are an endemic problem caused by the romantic nationalist notion of worshipping and deriving legitimacy from the “soul of the nation”. It is just 19th century leftism versus 20th century leftism, and you propose to combat 21st century leftism with 19th century leftism. If you are a fascist, you probably hate 20th century leftist boomer conservatives, but you are doing the same thing they are, believe the same things they do, only with a slightly older model of leftism.

          The 19th century leftist says blood and soil, while destroying the actual blood (nobility) and actual soil of the nation he claims to be defending. In aesthetics and function it is centered around the urban proletariat, the worst people in a nation, and those most bereft of both blood and soil. Historically, the urban prole is a man who could not even hack it as a peasant.

          Worship of the nation means that the 19th c leftist believes that spontaneous harmony and prosperity will materialize when pernicious influences are removed from the nation, which in practice means knocking over the elite, and then the merchant, and then the peasant with two cows, until you do not have a society left.

            Demotic fascism is no good. Fascist parties led by women are no good. Etc. But any pro-social national ideology will be called fascist.

Once there are enough outsiders, they dump the least of the nation and piss on them as they are doing now.

                You have to look after the least of the nation because people fear that they may be among the least and they fear that their children may be among the least. The least of the nation should not have power in the group, or the best opportunities to reproduce, but it should not be excluded either. Cohesion is worth paying for. Libertarianism refuses to pay for cohesion, and therefore libertarianism is incohesive, and therefore libertarianism is a political irrelevance.

                Nations are both horizontal AND vertical. There are two reasons for this.

                The first reason is that an aristocratic-masses construct (nation) is a symbiosis, requiring masses who are receptive to the particular form of leadership offered by their aristocracy, not just an aristocracy with a good concept. Small numbers of whites can empirically rule large numbers of blacks, and absent subversion and outside interference can do so stably, but such constructs never form nations.

                The second reason is that in a healthy symbiosis the masses are always occasionally throwing up new men into the aristocracy, and the aristocracy is kicking down its failures into the masses. If there is not a very large gap in competence between the aristocracy and the masses, this process eventually changes and then eliminates the aristocratic spirit. This almost certainly happened to the Aryan rulers of the Hittites, and probably happened to the Aryans in India as well.

                  This paragraph made absolutely no sense.

A son of an aristocrat without ability is not “kicked down” but the natural order and his incompetence brings him to his bankruptcy, while the unfortunate but born capable like Cromwell rise through the hierarchy enduring plenty of scorn and hindered by both sides of the aisle usually.

                  The decadence of the aristocracy is unrelated to the masses, who are simply spectators to the show.

          Not my position and I agree that the NSA have everything though the extent they can sift through it if you aren’t a big subject of interest is questionable (and I doubt the FBI have everything).

          I think wignat (or fednat) thought is a cancer on the far right and that the ideology is promoted by the federal government and is at its heart leftist and its used for divide and conquer. Being redpilled on race isn’t special, most leftists are in a very private corner of their mind redpilled on race they just lie about it. Wignats are essentially progressives who are honest about race. They otherwise embrace every other aspect of the progressive programme. Woodrow Wilson the founder of the Cathedral in fact differed ideologically very little from Hitler.

          I knew the subject of this thread was going to get anti christians, wignats, tradcaths (not all tradcaths are entirely bad but they are very wrong about many things) to come to this place and the longer its up the more of such will show up. But maybe that is Jim’s intention, maybe he wants to attract lots of them in order to spread better redpills… Jim is smarter than I am but smarter people can be wrong sometimes.

          • JR says:

            The National Security Division of the DOJ has access to the NSA search database queries, as do lots of contractors, and the redacted declassified 2017 Rosemary Collyer report shows that there have been an enormous number of illegal searches conducted in just the past couple of years. That has not stopped and only intensified.

            Also, see the news that Apple is going to scan your phone for illegal activity (they are saying only to search for child molesters, but that will be rapidly expanded to cover a lot more). Their search abilities specially are focused on right wing networks and they have cracked those networks algorithmically. They will take down the strongest and work their way down until there is nothing left.

            • The Cominator says:

              Having access doesn’t mean they can actually use it effectively and the NSA is likely to guard their own turf and power by making sure that its almost impossible for outsiders to really use it effectively even if they were forced to give “access”.

              Remember the wikileaks disclosures about how the CIA basically tried to build their own NSA database because they didn’t like relying on the NSA, I’m totally sure they would have done that if the NSA was being completely helpful.

              • JR says:

                The limiting factor is not search access which is plentiful, the limiting factor is the parallel reconstruction they use in order to frame or arrest their opponents. They can’t rely on the search database material itself for prosecutions. But they are in the process of streamlining all of this on a high priority basis.

                • jim says:

                  I am well aware that the process under way, but it is producing chaos, not streamlining.

                  The courts don’t care about rules of evidence anymore all that much especially if the government considers you a dissenter or terrorist. Judges are most of the time prosecutors in black robes.

                  The NSA is going to sabotage any streamlining or ease of use of their database in order to guard their own turf and power. As I said remember the CIA felt compelled to build their own ECHELON type network (this came out in one of the wikileaks dump) obviously because they found the NSA was often obstructionist about giving them every last piece of information they wanted.

      Let’s consult the shill checklist

      1. Pagans cool, Christians gay! ESPECIALLY Paul, who was mean to women. Don’t you know the pagan vikings, gauls, and germanics were feminist egalitarians who let their women do whatever they wanted? Paganism is egalitarian, bigot.

      2. Blood and soil socialism! We must Return To Nazi. Everyone knows capitalism sucks and was invented the day before yesterday, and will surely fall tomorrow. Everyone also knows that Hitler totally would have won WWII, except for [everything other than socialism and Hitler being a dumb lunatic who declared war on every major power at once]

      3. The Jews control everything! Even though there wasn’t a Jew in sight when when women were emancipated, or when slavery was abolished, or for the Declaration of Independence, or for the French Revolution, or….

      4. Fascism, a dead 20th century ideology, is what will beat liberalism. Even more, we must VOTE it back. Democracy is the solution, except more fascist this time. Hitler got 3% of the vote in 1928 and was in power just a couple years later!

      What is your Bishop test? My Bishop test is priestly celibacy and holiness spiraling the meanings of adultery and fornication so that every man is a fornicator and adulterer, while radically reducing the scope of meaning of “whore” so that no women are whores.

      • Alfred says:

        >What is your Bishop test?

        That a Christian “leader” who fails to have a family and obedient wife and children shouldn’t be used as a source of authority. Each of his works have to be evaluated on a case by case basis.

        CS Lewis wrote a few good things, but he failed at the most basic tasks that Gnon commands like having children and gave us this Jesus is my boy friend sort of crap that’s endless babbled about in evangelical circles. “How’s your relationship with Jesus this week, brother?” “You take it to the next level?” Gay.

    • jim says:

      Official word of God is that the Jews still have a place in Gods plan, in in the sense that Jesus will take them under his wing again once they accept a prophet to the Jews from God. But right now they are still holiness spiraling about cheese crumbs and separate dishwashers, which was Jesus big complaint, so that prophet has either not arrived, or has been given the usual treatment.

      Mighty cold outside here.

      Our best evidence of old earth climates is in the ice record – stable oxygen isotope ration in old ice. The colder the temperature at which the snow fell, the the higher to O18 ratio.

      Check the data.

      There are two graphs there which accurately show the extent of long term and short term global warming.

      Short term trend over decades is random change, which might be slightly in the warmer direction, but not by an amount large enough to be perceived by humans.

      Long term trend is that it is getting colder, disastrously colder. The slight warming in recent times is nowhere near enough to bring us back to the holocene climate optimum.

    As an unashamed Rad Trad Catholic, I won’t try to convert anybody here.

    But each civilization is based on a religion. When the religion is replaced, the civilization declines and falls.

    (I don’t say “when the religion is abandoned” because there is no such thing as a people without religion. We see it in our time in which Christianity is replaced by the Woke religion).

    For example, when Rome replaced his original pagan religion with (first) mystery cults and (then) with Christianity, its civilization declined and felt. As a Christian, I think Christianity is true but Roman society was arranged in a way that only pagan religion could sustain. If you change the foundations of a building, even if the new foundations are better, the building is going to fall.

    Once Roman civilization felt, a new civilization was built from the ground, having Christianity as foundation. This was called “Christendom” and lately “Western civilization”.

    If Christianity disappears, Western civilization will go. Since you can’t build anything on Woke religion (a religion destructive of society), another civilization will arise (probably founded on Islam).

    IMHO, this is enough reason why non-Christian defenders of the Western civilization should try to fight for Christianity, whatever their personal beliefs are.

      > As an unashamed Rad Trad Catholic, I won’t try to convert anybody here.

      While converting people as individuals is off topic, and likely to be moderated, a state always has a state religion, and what it is to be is on topic.

      The choice that is going to face us soon, if we are not utterly annihilated, is Rad Trad, Orthodox, or “Episcopalian”.

      Since Episcopalianism is dead as a doornail, we can fill it with any content whatsoever. I favor a resurrected Church of England, the faith that gave us science, industrialization, and empire, but make it orthodox and enter communion with the other orthodox churches, while retaining the qualities that gave us science, industrialization, and empire.

      The problem with Rad Trad is that Rome has ever been cucked on women, because priestly celibacy means at worst gays, at best men who have no comprehension of women, children, and family. Recollect their gay response to the Romance movement.

      Another big problem with Rome is that it schismed with Orthodox by adopting the Donatist heresy. Priestly celibacy and Donatism has got to go. Donatism is bad in itself, being damaging to the state, and apt to undermine the peace of Westphalia.

            I see a shill counter attack trying to steer the Nazis back onto the reservation. We have rattled someone. They are trying to persuade the Nazis that the red pill is false – indicating that whomever we have rattled is able to comprehend the reasoning that ownership of the means of production do not matter to the masses when no one is hungry, while ownership of the means of reproduction matters to every man.

            Because, when Nazis figure that out, they are apt to turn their fire from the pawnshop owner to the officially unofficial priesthood. Official priesthood does not like that.

                Sound like a plan, but the problem is that we are under repression, and there is a high probability that the repression will get worse. Wait for the persecution to go full bore, and eventually focus on the left itself. Then it will be time. Let the enemy reveal his full strength, we endure it, then marshal our strength while the enemy self destructs.

                Now is the time to focus on endurance, rather than to acquire strength. We are acquiring strength, but at this point of history, strength is not that useful.

                Video conferences would be a good idea, provided that everyone wears a hat and an outlaw mask covering their upper lip and lower jaw, but we are going to need a Jitsi server located within the Russian empire or the outskirts of the Chinese hegemony.

                > I’d appreciate an outline, but only to save time.

                Throne, Altar, property, and family.

                Everything is ultimately about reproduction, and women are the means of reproduction.

                A man needs a woman (or preferably women) and children, secure ownership of them, and secure property to stash them in.

                Secure property is insecure to larger gangs, and larger gangs are vulnerable to even larger gangs. War is the father of us all.

                A state needs an army, an army needs a leader and a faith, and an army needs funding and logistics.

                Solutions to this problem are complex, messy, and seldom altogether satisfactory.

                And everything, starting with the Y Chromosome singularity (which needs a post) has been struggles to find a satisfactory solution to this problem on larger and larger scales.

                Monarchs create virtuous elites – not always, and not often, but dynasties keep expiring in blood until they do.

                A virtuous elite does not really need a King all that much, so sooner or later becomes a republic in fact, and often enough in name.

                As elite virtue declines, Republic becomes oligarchy, and instead of one King a thousand miles away you have a thousand kings one mile away. Oligarchy becomes a democracy, and then it dies. And here we are. Democracy died 2020-11-04. Caesar will eventually appear, sooner or later, hopefully sooner. At which point we tell him it is time for Constantine. Augustus tried emperor worship, what we now call cult of personality after Stalin. It had the problems that we have seen every time it has been tried.

                We need Church and State to make every man King under his own roof. Perhaps nicer solutions than Throne and Altar are theoretically possible, but at this point of history, unlikely.

                Blockchain stakeholder plutocracy perhaps – literal plutocracy, dominated by major stakeholders, plutocrats whose wealth is in form not easily destroyed or taken by gangs, with the ruler being CEO of a sovereign corporation which was in the business of extortion, mobile brigandry and piracy, but graduated to taxation and stationary brigandry. But at the moment, the old fashioned solution deployed so many times before appears more likely. Further, the army of that corporation would have share a faith, would have to be not a mere profit oriented corporation, but also an armed religion. Otherwise the soldiers would be disinclined to share the loot with the stakeholders, and shortly thereafter, would discover that they are disinclined to share the loot with each other.

                And the rest of my blog is commentary on random details of the problem that have been salient from time to time.

                The most successful solution ever deployed, was deployed by Charles the Second, but, as the Cominator is fond of pointing out, only lasted something over a century, and since then our society has been running on that social capital. Which is now running out.

                  S03: Materialist Oligarchies

                  Format: Intro of GT and subsections, intro speaker(s), lecture on subsection then Q&A, or roundtable on subsection, wrapup, further reading. We could also just talk with no format and no structure.

                  So these are just a few ideas that I find interesting, but obviously there are many others. Any thoughts on this programmatic format? I think we could do a lecture style for some and a roundtable/discourse/debate style for others. This is all just spitballing based on academic conferences I’ve attended, so if it is fake and/or gay, we can do something else. Also, I’m not at all inclined toward the technical side, so it’s blank.

                • Justin Bieber says:

                  Also, need to distinguish between Jimianity as a collaborative effort and Jimianity as one man’s prophetic mission.

                  In the latter case, Jim ought to be the sole speaker, his words of wisdom recorded as sacred orthodox speech, at which point listening to Jim’s lectures with your earbuds while commuting to work becomes religious praxis, the lectures taking on the quality of sermons.

                  In the former case, should start out with a “group manifesto.” In this model, a question/topic is periodically presented for all participants to address (until all the fundamentals are covered), just like in the Talmud. E.g., “Game vs. Looksmaxxing,” to be discussed by Jim, Aidan, Cominator, etc., and thus you get yourself a whole chapter for the manifesto composed of the varied opinions of several members, which may reflect different, even divergent, points of view, viz. “Jim says…”, “Drueger says…” and so forth.

                  Obviously, none of this is happening if Jim is unwilling to become the prophet that you implore him to be, and we’re all just shitposting.

                • jim says:

                  The materials of a group manifesto are present, the problem is to integrate it into a group manifesto, Talmud style.

                  But the Talmudic method, better known today as dialectical materialism, tends to result in the madness of crowds. This can be obviated by not assembling the manifesto until after consensus has been reached, but before anyone attempts to learn if there is a consensus, let alone what the consensus is.

                  If there are divergent points of view, it is not yet time. If you even suspect there might be divergent points of view, it is not yet time, because trying to construct a consensus will, as with the Talmud and Dialectical Materialism, construct madness and evil.

                  If people are mostly in agreement, few disagreements on the details seldom matter. Let the disagreements stew for a year or a century, and they will usually fade away. Does every national Orthodox Church agree with all the other Orthodox Churches on everything?

                  If the disagreements are a problem, then you need to construct a credo and expel the heretics. Or let the heretics expel themselves, thinking they are expelling us, as happened on the issue of the sexuality of nine year olds, but that is when things get nasty, better to ignore the problem and expect it to go away in due course. It usually does. (If anyone is doubt about the sexual prefences of nine year old girls, reflect on the love interest in Disney Princess movies)

                  The Roman Catholic Church excommunicated the Orthodox hierarchy, but today, the Vatican is well along the path to becoming a lesbian anarcho communist bookshop, while the Orthodox Churches are returning to actual Orthodoxy behind the shield of Putin’s nukes, so it looks like after a millennium, that schism is well on the way to being fixed.

                  Obviously we have consensus on Game in a world of defect/defect equilibrium, the game of players and bitches. Heartiste speaks truth, Aidan MacClear speaks the truth, Rollo used to speak truth, and many others, myself among them, speak truth. But that is not all that interesting, since the point is to attain a world of cooperate/cooperate equilibrium.

                  Is there consensus on that? Probably, but it would be dangerously premature to find out.

                  We have consensus on the Tripartite division Priests, Warriors, and Merchants (the masses do not count, so it is not a four part division.

                  Overproduction of priests/Brahmans and the holiness spiral. Overproduction of “elites” is well known, but our take is different,these guys are not elite in the way a top engineer or a top athlete or a top general or a top businessman is. They are members of a priesthood, Brahmans. We are all in agreement on the Moldbuggian thesis, but apt to give it in considerably more concise form. Any one of us can and routinely do summarize the doctrine. This one is ripe for a group effort.

                  Once you say Priests or Brahmans, instead of saying “elites”, the holiness spiral and its cause becomes absolutely obvious.

                  This concept however is only interesting, when used to put current events into the context of past events.

                  This doctrine gets interesting when applied to past and recent history. Thus, for example the non trinitarian Socinians that destroyed the Established Church and the Monarchy of England were unambiguously priestly. They called themselves “the Saints”.

                  Thoreau seems to have pretty much agreed with the Moldbuggian analysis of the civil war, except, of course, that the armed faith that was to conquer America was supposedly individualist, and while he knew it was a religion, felt it was not a church, and therefore exempted from the first amendment, that his brand of individualism could only be imposed at gunpoint by the state, that his brand of anti statism required a vastly more powerful federal government. Thoreau pretty much agrees with Moldbug that the civil war was a theocratic and explicitly religious war to impose the true religion on all by centralized state power, the difference being that Moldbug thinks the religion was statist, oppressive, and untrue, while Thoreau thinks the religion is true, individualist, and anti statist, despite requiring conscription, taxation, warfare, and a vast increase in state power.

                  Thoreau prefigures the innumerable protests we have recently seen where the Cathedral revolts against itself by demanding more power and money for itself.

                  I have often remarked on the resemblance between Talmudism and the Dialectical Method and the resemblance between the Marxist reified “History”, and God as understood by the Jews.

                  The French Revolution was also an unambiguously holy war between Post Christians, who dropped their entryist cover with the Church of Reason, and Christians, exemplified in unambiguous form by the war in the Vendee and the war in Spain. In Paris itself, Church of Reason entryism into the Roman Catholic Church rendered the religious nature of the conflict less clear.

                  And of course, the English Civil War was just the Bishop’s war. The religious nature of that war is perfectly unambiguous, and Cathedral efforts to rewrite and cast it as Aristocrats versus merchants are ludicrous.

                  On giving effect to large scale cooperation, we don’t really have consensus. Moldbug’s proposed solutions assume the Ring of Fnargl, which does not and cannot not exist. No man rules alone.

                  We are still groping around there, but are generally happy with Throne and Altar as the least bad existing and reliable working operating system. It has become apparent that the Parliamentary democracy and the American Republic were mistakes. It is likely that something interesting will emerge out of Sovereign corporations on the blockchain, but we do not yet have the software to instantiate such things, and when we do, it will take a long time to see how they work out. Throne and Altar is a known and existing solution. There is a general consensus that Moldbug’s proposals are idiotic, with which consensus Moldbug does not entirely disagree. Perhaps sovereign corporations can emerge out of his blockchain solution.

                  The Dark Enlightenment analysis of the state follows from analysis that any state is apt to find things difficult without a state religion, and if you don’t have a state religion, something very bad is going to step into its place. Its a power vacuum.

                  And, of course, the red pill, my primary interest, and the topic of many of my posts. It simply follows from Game and Evolutionary Game Theory that female consent is a bad idea, that emancipation was a society wide shit test that we failed, and women are reacting to it as to any failed shit test.

                  Men need to own their wives and children. They should be responsible for their children’s education and educate them as they see fit – which will typically involve enforceable apprenticeship, rather than university.

                  Of course, it follows from the priest analysis that judge, lawyers, professors, and most of the media are priests – and priests are apt to educate you only in priesting, resulting in “elite” overproduction, and priests getting into everything and redirecting everything from production of value to production of holiness. Hence the murder of Star Wars franchise, Gillette and Coke insulting their customers, the collapsing viewership of Miss Universe and the Woke Olympics, and so on and so forth.

                  Also resulting in a huge number of utterly useless graduates supposedly educated in “Computer Science”.

                  I’m not opposed to the podcast idea, though podcasts by and large seem like midwit pretend learning. He could just read blogposts and provide commentary and clarification. But I have two goals in this exchange/idea: Book of Jim and the instantiation of Jimian Christianity. I selfishly desire this because I have a dim view of the future and a growing family. I don’t want to hide inna woods and wait to die. I want to be a part of a community. The Book gives me a guide, and the Faith gives me an inheritance worth bestowing. As it stands right now, we have a lone prophet, a massive wilderness, and very scattered and isolated comrades. How to move towards a resilient and useful network of friends and allies?

                  I think the conference idea is a multiple solution in that it could flesh out ideas and bring bros together. But I also know that Tribe Jim is a hateful bunch and any growth or change is going to generate resistance and pushback. So if the way I laid it out doesn’t work, then we need to find something that does.

                  The French Revolution was also an unambiguously holy war between Post Christians

                  Similarly, once Dutch independence from Spain seemed somewhat secured, which included schism from the Catholic church, protestant holy war started.

                  Remonstrants versus contra-remonstrants — the former wanting to get rid of predestination, the latter not. Seems to me the former is setting up for a holiness spiral into the blank slate, as happened 200 years later in France. Not quite post-Christian, but history is littered with in-between stages.

                  A social media tool has to rest on a wallet, because GPG’s security model just does not work, while wallets clearly do work. So a crypto currency is necessarily integral to social media tool that can effectively resist Cathedral interference.

                  Git uses GPG to protect repositories from interference, and I have been suffering greatly to set up a repository that could be provide public access while remaining secure. And what is on it not yet suitable for public access. We are going to have to use GPG for code development security, and its shortcomings have become painfully apparent. Still a lot better than what I actually have running so far.

                  A technological solution to this is hashtags and comment headers, where a comment inherits by default the header and header hashtags of the message it is a reply to, and full threading to any depth, with sequential items, where there is only one reply, going downwards and not rightwards, rather than leftwards and downwards, and a split pane with the tree structure at left, and the comment and its immediate context in the right pane.

                What is the point of a podcast or video call? The downside is that one bad actor has now helped identify everyone who bothered to show up for a larp session and the upside is nothing you couldn’t get from reading a blog. If you can’t properly screen for defectors or bad actors or just stupid people, guess who’s going to show up? And if the mafia or any mafia-style organization – to include government generally (security clearances) – fatally couldn’t figure out how to screen for defectors, then you won’t either

                A recent and illustrative lesson is probably someone like Paul le Roux. Le Roux’s problem was not his cryptographic opsec, which by all accounts was impeccable. The problem was if you are going to start an organization orthogonal to those in power, who can you trust? A lengthy and often fatally expensive process. If you suspect you can’t trust people you’ve already let in, seems like you have to start killing people, and if you have to start killing people…

                Only newish example I can think of that functionally emulates the defection-screening essence of a mafia would be a private tracker, but then again it’s too new to have stood the test of time, and not in person

                I haven’t checked out Urbit yet but I suspect based off of the people peddling it it is attracting exactly the wrong type of attention. Urbit or even a private tracker are not exactly the Broederbond

              Now we focus on getting a handful of elite intellectuals on board.

              This blog, and NRx in general, have attracted a highly disproportionate number of programmers and techies. No doubt, such people are invaluable when you need personnel to invent, design, and build stuff, to make technology work. Whereas, to start a religion, you need to target the natural priesthood, i.e. members of the priestly intelligentsia, both those formally embedded within the Cathedral’s academia department (the brain of the Cathedral) and the fringe autodidacts on the outside. I am pessimistic about the ability of computer programmers, who seem to comprise 70% of NRx, to create a religion. Their talent, immense as it may be, lies far elsewhere.

              I’d like to see actual “elite intellectuals” stating something bold in line with Jimianity, such as e.g. that female libido sometimes sets in with adrenarche, or that as near to all rape accusations are false as makes no difference. Okay, I’m joking, of course they won’t say that. But do they say or suggest anything that may imply even the faintest, remotest familiarity with such viewpoints? Doesn’t look like it, and claims that they hold these views in secret are unfalsifiable. If and when they start emitting such signals, that will be a sure sign that the genie has come out of the bottle. More broadly, when core NRx stops being primarily a club of geeky, nerdy, spergy computer programmers in Silicon Valley who’ve found themselves a quaint hobby, and actually commences attracting “elite intellectuals,” then you’ll have legitimate grounds for optimism.

              If you can’t even name a single elite intellectual who has converted to Jimianity, the genie is not nearly yet out of the bottle. Claims about supposed secret and anonymous conversions are unfalsifiable. It’s not that your memes aren’t spreading, it’s that they aren’t spreading where it is most expedient and necessary that they spread. They are wasted on people who simply won’t make it into a new priesthood, in other words, you are targeting (and attracting) people who can make good warriors and successful merchants, instead of targeting (and attracting) elite intellectuals for the priesthood. This is a major, fundamental flaw in the current NRx strategy.

                No namefag is going to start emitting such signals.

                When we win, such signals will overnight go from forbidden to mandatory, from unknown to suddenly seeming universal. Such signals come after victory, they are not a preparation for victory.

                After victory, everyone will not only start emitting such signals, but will remember that they always were. Not only will everything instantly change overnight, but no one will notice anything has changed.

              I don’t see the relevancy of the comparison

              Seriously, you don’t?

              Scientology is the modern belief system par excellence. It has had some initial successes, albeit it has been on the decline for quite some time now. The comparison illustrates that the new religion you are proposing hasn’t even got yet to the barest of bare minimum required to have the kind of success that Scientology had. (It takes a special kind of “thinker” to propose a new religion without so much as minimally investigating what the other new religions have done, and how they resultantly fared) You can also compare to LaVeyan Satanism or, for an older case, Mormonism.

              For the benefit of those who don’t click links, here are the categories in which Scientology outperforms Jimianity:

              1. Sacred/Foundational Text
              2. Official Manifesto
              3. Number of Followers
              4. Organization
              5. Charismatic Leader
              6. Cultural/Academic Recognition
              7. State/Legal Recognition
              8. Notable Current/Former Adherents
              9. Spaces Occupied
              10. Economic Model
              11. Mode of Transmission
              12. Time Since Foundation
              13. Praxis
              14. Global Outreach

              The only category where Jim defeats Ron is “claim to authority,” because Jim enlists both the scientific method and old religion, whereas Hubbard was literally talking out of his ass, thus has no objective credibility. So it’s 14 to 1. If you don’t find the comparison illuminating, tell me how you judge whether or not the new religion you propose is doing well. What are your criteria, exactly?

                Now is not yet the time to seek to accomplish what Scientology accomplished.

                If we even began doing that sort of stuff, we would be Wacoed instantly.

                The Cathedral has a very low tolerance for genuinely patriarchal faiths. Ever since the Mormon wars, they have reacted with fire and slaughter, shouting “Think of the children” as they set the children on fire.

                To not be massacred, we would have to make compromises in the faith that would prove fatal to the faith. Namefag problem on steroids.

                Twelve of your other thirteen criteria would, under current circumstance result in at best cancellation, deplatforming, and demonetization, and many of them would result in sudden death, probably by fire.

                Thus, under current circumstances, utterly irrelevant.

                Try using measures that would not get us wacoed. On measures that are unlikely result in being wacoed, we easily beat Scientology.

                I measure success by meme outreach, which can only be visible among those securely anonymous (the meme magicians), those beyond the pale (nazis) and those protected by Putin’s nukes.

                Where our meme outreach can be visible, it is visible, suggestive of significant meme outreach where it must remain deeply hidden.

                Enemy religion, that is our meme, holiness spiral, that is our meme, marriage and fertility, that is our meme, patriarchal authority, that is our meme, de-emancipate women, that is our meme. All rape accusations are fake, and when real rape happens, women seldom complain about it. That is our meme.

                  The truth value of a belief system (or absolute lack thereof) is wholly irrelevant when analyzing the successes and failures of its memetic transmission. See: Progressivism.

                  Jim argues that his memes are on the course to infiltrating some high places, and that in this regard, he is far more successful than the universally ridiculed Scientology. Possibly true, though currently hard to tell, given the understandable reluctance of namefags to candidly speak up their minds.

                  He also argues that without Cathedral suppression, his worldview would be totally mainstream – a moot counterfactual, because “without Cathedral suppression” is not the condition under which Jimianity actually has to operate.

                  Bottom line, there’s a whole lot of work yet to be done; that the Cathedral won’t leave you in peace to fulfill it is all the more reason to focus on what you can simply and safely achieve, such as textual production.

                  Being totally mogged by “a money collection scheme based on shit tier science fiction” should prompt stern self-reflection, followed by a concrete plan to fix whatever flaws there may be in your own designs. Until some of the preliminary steps discussed in this thread are taken, will continue to be mogged all the way to Gold Base and back.

            Way this has worked for me, is that I was very actively searching for some sort of meaning, some sort of direction in my life. I spent many nights scouring the internet, found that here. It’s been great. But not everyone is like me.

            We have absolutely nothing near the viral spread scientology had. But I find myself not so caring that much. We don’t have to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. If it works for those few actively seeking it — it works.

  15. Kunning Drueger says:

    Is the tendency towards holiness spiralling ubiquitous in all faith structures?

    What causes the spiral: is it an abundance of form and a lack of substance, too much substance with no form, or something completely different?

    In academia, there are mini-spirals in small groups that set the tone for the departments and colleges. There is a large, slow whorl, but the smaller spirals can be very fast or almost imperceptibly slow. I found that the older, tenured professors were pretty much dragged along while the young APs were practically spinning themselves.

    • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

      In plain terms, ‘holiness spiraling’ is simply adulteration; a reductive feedback loop where signals are attenuated into forms ever less adaptive for hosts, but ever more adaptive for themselves, in terms of memetic virulence; a casting off of adaptive nuance in favor of the more easily conceived, more easily algorithmized, more easily abused.

    • jim says:

      What causes the spiral is open entry into the priesthood.

      If the faith is successful, there is money and power on the table. Everyone wants in. So they grab some point of doctrine and run with it.

    • suones says:

      Holiness spiralling is the failure mode pf priests/Brahmins (both in Moldbug and Hindu sense of the term).

      Brahmins display status by superior holiness, warriors through victory in battle, merchants through greater wealth. Their failure modes, if left unchecked by Dharma, are according to their temperament.

      Brahmins are prone to holiness spiralling — visible in all priest-dominated cultures. The solution is for a warrior to kill the holiest of them all periodically.

      Warriors are prone to kill each other, and being unable to stop killing each other long enough to resist a foreign existential threat — like Kings in England in the time of Alfred or Hindu Kings in the time of the Muslim invasions. The solution is a powerful State Religion that makes it low-status to kill each other.

      Merchants are prone to cheat each other, leading to erosion of trust and ultimate failure of the economy thus losing warfighting ability. The solution is twofold — a State Religion that makes it a sin to cheat, and a King that makes it a crime also.

        On the contrary the state religion should have almost no power over warriors except as a nebulous cohesion provider.

        Warriors killing each other outside of foreign wars should be confined to the proper sphere, dueling.

    Talking about Israel and Judeo-Christianity vs Christianity and then dumb shit jews did in ancient times…

    This article is going to be catnip for fednats, cathcucks and tards we generally don’t want here. I do not consider myself nearly as intelligent as you but I’ve always been good at spotting the mistakes of OTHERS even better men than myself, accordingly I would humbly advise getting a new subject up as soon as possible.

    “And material and effective causation should impact religion. Hence, the Dark Enlightenment faith of Gnon.”

    If you want to talk about this properly merely quote the Bible’s best verse, by their fruits you will know them. The verse you can use to throwout any view of scripture or theology that doesn’t work out.

            There is no lack of discussion of jews on the far right.

                Neither can admit the Brahminate/Priesthood need to be basically ruthlessly um deleted in minecraft via helicopter almost en masse, hes pissed that the proles who setout outside the system did better than him.

                Fake just adds a lot of genuine leftist commie style envy to this. He also probably doesn’t get laid. He’ll never fix himself till he is honest about where the real problems are. He needs to learn to earn money outside the priesthood system… the Thieves in Law (the Vory or the Russian gangsters) were among the people who did really well during the Soviet collapse. You do not need to be a total outlaw to live (I’m not saying steal and sell drugs) but you need to think halfway like one.

                As for finding it impossible to get laid in the US (if you go without it for months or years this begins to distort your mind) I continue to advocate strip clubs with private rooms. Its hard to believe you can find a 9 or a 10 as a non chad who will happily cowgirl you for 20 a song but I swear its true (not every girl there but they aren’t rare).

                  Depends on the club but as im literally on the spectrum you shouldnt have too much trouble the more private the regular lap dance booths the better.

              • The Cominator says:

                Leon here is the repost on fucking strippers I gave to Wulfgar

                If you can’t game women in the wild (in the metoo feminist West anyway) because you lack the dark triadesque traits they are normally attracted to or a profession women fetishize not much is going to help you but contrary to what some information to tell you it is NOT hard to bang strippers (some individual ones might be hard) and while you may not get it for free you can get steady pussy this way MUCH cheaper than a regular escort. She might open up to giving you literal freebies outside of work later too.

                So how do you do this in detail.

                1. You need a club with private rooms (or at least semiprivate) avoid ones that don’t have them. Places that don’t are a ripoff for simps.

                2. The most difficult pain in the ass thing is you (often) need to go there a few times so the girls recognize you. If nobody there has seen you before they’ll be reluctant to do anything because of fear you might be an undercover cop.

                3. If you go in most of the country (not here in Florida though because nobody wears suits) wear a suit. Strippers generally like guys in suits. In this and a lot of other ways they are more old fashioned than normal women nowadays (ADDENDUM: They also tend to be a lot less npcish in the way they think then normal women… almost all strippers are kind of “racist”, most of them distrust the government and the media).

                4. Talk a little before getting a dance, make her do a couple of little things (spin around for you etc), kino her. Its okay its a strip club. You want her warmed up and used to complying with you before you get a “dance”.

                5. Do NOT talk about how you pity her being a stripper or that she is too pretty to be doing this etc or anything (white knight shit). Strippers all really fucking hate guys who do this and not in a way that gets you badboy points. You can talk about almost anything else but do not talk about that. Also don’t go where they dance on stage and throw money. You get labeled a sucker.

                6. When you do get a dance your hands should go to her pussy outside at 1st gradually escalating if she strongly objects next her, if she lets you put a finger in there she is DTF 90% of the time (I’ve only ever had one exception) you have to be bold in escalating beyond this though and you may need to get a few round of dances before she puts out. You want to try to fuck her without getting a champagne room, that is generally a lot more money and the idea is getting steady pussy that is normally out of your league lookwise as cheaply as possible.

                7. Once you fuck her she’ll never put any resistance up to you doing it in the future during “dances” ever and ideally you won’t be paying much more than regular song charge (ADDENDUM: you want to try to avoid paying a lot extra because its hard for the price to ever go down later either).

                8. You might be able to work getting it for truly free (though she is not going to do that for you at work the best you’ll get is if counting dances is up to her maybe she won’t keep very strict track) in the future from this keep in mind though going to this step risks becoming more deeply involved with a girl out of your league lookwise who may be fun to fool around with but who is very difficult to own (your one advantage if you go into this is she probably thoroughly enjoys the sex with you), unless you have Jim’s little monsters in you that you can call on as needed this is dangerous for you in a lot of ways and I don’t advise it. I would advise it for Jim if he decided he wanted to marry a twenty year old stripper… but the nerds most of this is intended for should not try to go here.

                9. You don’t need to be particularly alpha dangerous or good looking for this to work (except if you want to go full step 8). Not even with really hot ones. A lot of strippers are legit nymphomaniacs and frequently teasing men in private and NOT having it escalate to full sex at least subconsciously frustrates them. It will not work on every girl but it works on far more of them then you would think.

                Though this may sound sordid to some but if you’re too spergish for game and you want to fuck hotties cheap this works. This will also help prevent you getting oneitis and pedastalizing pussy.

                • The Cominator says:

                  This is sort of the way around that.

                  Not so easy to get open whores in the US because illegal outside Nevada.

                  Online escorts tend to be scams and sometimes they are worse stings and honeypots. There are reputable sites (I imagine they have to kickup to the feds at outrageous prices to be allowed to operate) but the prices are outrageous and not something that 1 man in a thousand could afford to use regularly. Streetwalkers if you can find them tend to be diseased and unattractive.

                  The other advantage of the semi-pro stripper over the open pro escort, the strippers tend to be much more genuinely enthusiastic and provide much better sex especially if you get them cheap.

                • Cloudswrest says:

                  The (SF) Bay area tends to be peppered by ubiquitous Asian Massage Parlors (AMPs). These tend to come and go depending on the changing moral climate. During the Trump years there was a big push on “Human Trafficking” with allusions to underage sex slaves, when in reality most of them are 30+ (pushing 40) mamasans, and a lot of AMPs were closed down, with stings and news articles showing pictures of 40+ mamasans.

                  Whores in the US are very over priced due to law enforcement and filled with scammers. Cops frequently try to charge people with human trafficking for fucking a whore.

                  The primary brothels in America are Message Parlors and Strip clubs, but frequently such places promise sex but deliver only services that are often not penis in the vagina sex. All done in a pretty secretive manner.

                  Com’s the first person I’ve heard of who’s been able to fuck a stripper for a low fee on a regular basis.

                  Most men unable to get laid in the US would be better off buying drugs like molly or coke and having parties with girls they meet, but being low T, they tend to be afraid of breaking drug laws and won’t do it.

                  Depends on the place, the level of law enforcement, and the amount that people will pay. Similar story with strip clubs. It’s a real crap shoot. There’s a bunch of online sites people use to review escorts, massage parlors, and strip clubs for men trying to find actual sex and those sites often charge huge amounts of money just to read the reviews.

                  I’m NEVER going to be Jeremy Meeks I’m just not and I accept that, and don’t say you’d never pay. Remember Elisha Cuthbert back when she did the movie the girl next door, how about Ann Margaret the way she looked when she did Carnal Knowledge or the Cincinnati Kid? You wouldn’t pay even a little if you had the opportunity (but the hypothetical is no pay no play). If you say no you’re lying your ass off. Presented with a woman normally way out of your league and with a very reasonable offer you’ll fork over the money.

                  Also I’ve always heard that Alphas and Omegas alike are fine with engaging a whore if it suits them (yes I’m aware Alphas don’t need to generally), its the betas who feel bad about it (in a sort of sexual market value parody of the midwit meme).

                  For a while it was a thing among my friends to search public forums for whore reviews. ‘Walkers’ was what whore visitors called themselves — you never walk alone!

                  Some of the reviews were hilarious. Points given for how well she worked the shaft, deducted for lack of enthusiasm, etc. But the thing that stuck with me was a) how many men went down on a whore, and b) how often they discussed the ‘GFE’ — the Girlfriend Experience. A good whore makes you feel like your her only man. Which obviously, you aren’t. But that’s what men want. Which is why walking never appealed to me.

                  The weird thing with whores is they still have to be gamed if you want a good experience. Com’s doing pretty well with his stripper in that regard.

                  Whores generally resist GFE stuff with the Johns unless the John demonstrate higher value at which point everything is on the menu. Lots of the dance with such women is the desire for a man to break her rules. They may rage about it later but as long as the man doesn’t apologize or act beta they love it.

                  Going down on a whore or most women in general has no appeal to me.

                  Yep. I saw an Vietnamese hooker 7 or 8 years ago that was amazing in bed. Aggressive, loved sex, great body and completely insatiable. One day I showed up and she said she wasn’t ready yet and kept me waiting for 20 minutes. Out walked a guy from her apartment and got into a car right next to mine. I still went in but I never went back because it felt fucking awful.

                  You being autistic makes approaching and maintaining a girlfriend hard. You being direct and less caring about social queues makes sex easier with a whore because you’ve skipped the social niceties that women use to judge rank and all they see is an aggressive man who doesn’t give a fuck.

                • The Cominator says:

                  I don’t know what mistakes a normie man would make that a sperg wouldn’t…

                  The worst thing you can do with a stripper (other than somehow give her the idea you’re a cop) is white knighting (its sad you’re stripping you’re such a nice girl how do I get you out of this) or expressing some kind of negative judgemental opinion about them being a stripper. Strippers REALLY REALLY fucking hate hearing that from customers because either they’ve taken pains to try to hide what they’re doing from family and people back home or get negative shit from family and people back home about it. They don’t want to hear it from you. The ones who aren’t on hard drugs generally have some kind of hitting the wall kind of exit plan from the profession anyway but they aren’t going to want to discuss such matters with you right away, they open up a bit more after you’ve fucked them a few times. The only exception to the don’t white knight rule you can make some sort of comment (no long lecture) to avoid hard drugs as at best they’ll ruin your looks (you should add that moderate drinking smoking and weed are okay to not sound boring though) and maybe worse.

                  I’m probably generally too nice with women until they upset me, its not that being nice works I know it doesn’t but I don’t know how to be a jerk the right way the way women like… but being nice (while at the same time treating them like a Roman sex slave girl you just bought) DOES seem to work with strippers.

                  “… plenty of guys swear strippers never …”

                  I am aware of counter-examples besides Cominator’s.

                  Sometimes strippers are just girls who want to have fun. They may seem jaded because they have a keen sense of the actual preponderance of trash among the deluge of men who desire them. That is not world-weariness, but rather simple intelligence refined through experience.

                  If you are not trash, you have a chance of establishing further rapport — but outside work, starting small with an late-night coffee at IHOP where she knows the manager who could hurt you if necessary. Make her laugh comfortably and build from there. That’s the way I heard it.

                • The Cominator says:

                  Strippers are fun and plenty are fundamentally sweet natured girls and not the soulless evil conniving wallet drainers most people imagine (I stand by this) and I’m quite fond of them on the whole (also an ex stripper masseuse, I didn’t know her from work, cured me of years of neck pain problems… another reason why I like them in general. She didn’t charge me a dime for this) but also fundamentally they are wild animals…

                  I wouldn’t try to date one outside of work even though its sometimes possible. You’re going to be dealing with an alpha widow (thats a girl who is fundamentally in love with general buck naked far away who you’ll never quite live up to) and probably a single mother. Also even if she becomes a good housewife has your kids and all you want comes to pass… if you’re as proud as most guys here she is 100% to cuck you eventually (that is the bad side of her having a sex drive probably 3-5x stronger than a normal woman, the good side of it is she’ll always be eager to sleep with you… even if shes otherwise kind of pissed at you) unless she is literally chained up or guarded like a member of the Sultan’s harem.

    The congenitally solipsistic make no distinctions of value, import, or relevance; any aspect of an ideology is considered equivalent to any and all else of it, and is to enforced with equal fervor; any little jot or tittle, wherever extant, will be sat in a same seat also as that on which all law and prophecy would hang.

    The most offensive entryism occurs when one side blatantly cannot strike back at another side by the same method by nature. A Unitarian might use an entryism strategy against Trinitarians, and vice versa, but the Jews complicate things further. A Jew can pretend to be a Christian, but a Christian cannot pretend to be a Jew. Striking back against entryism demands some alternative strategy, which tends to be violent, and Jews complain about this truthfully but hypocritically.

            Christians who are terribly blue pilled can pass the demon worshiper test in real life despite almost word-for-word recitation of progressive talking points under the “what would Jesus do” frame. Their attacks die in the face of Ephesians 5:22-33, 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 and the like, and the honest admission of a degree of 1 Timothy 1:15. I hope they can be saved.

              It is not aimed to keep out progressives, let alone progressive Christians. It is aimed to keep out demon worshipers who are lying about being Christian. (Actual demon worshipers who say they are demon worshipers and criticize Christianity from that frame are welcome. Just not allowed to say “Hail fellow Christian, you are not Christian enough, and I am more Christian than thou.”)

              This tends to overlap massively with shills, because if the shill is lying about his identity, Christianity tends to be part of the lie, but I am sure there must be plenty of shills who can pass the test, and plenty of non shills who could not.

              If someone tells me I am not antisemitic enough, he is usually strangely unable to notice what Soros is up to, and if someone tells me I am not Christian enough and that he is more Christian than I am he can seldom pass the demon worshiper test.

                Actual demon worshipers who say they are demon worshipers and criticize Christianity from that frame are welcome.

                I would be very interested in speaking to such a person. From what I’ve seen “demon worshippers” tend to be anti-dominant religion LARPers rather than sincere. Does non-ironic “Satanism” even exist?

                • jim says:

                  Not in the sense that they actually explicitly identify as Satanists, rather they talk to spirits, or think they talk to spirits, who just happen to have horns and tentacles, and to dead people who don’t seem very keen on the living.

                  Consider the ambience of Epstein’s temple. Reflect on the EECs adjustment of old formerly Christianized pagan rituals.

                  The Christianized pagan rituals frequently featured old evil deities made at least a little ridiculous and impotent, as for example the Satan depicted in chains. EEC removes the chains and has the actor symbolically alpha and dominant.

                  And we already had that discussion about some Hindu deities, but I stopped because figured there was no need to go there in more detail than necessary. Kali is far from the only one.

                  All the Aztec gods were quite unambiguously demonic, except for Quetzalcoatl, who got made into saint, (standard Christian method of converging pagans)

                  There is no shortage of various hipster theosophs who all call themselves various flavors of newage appelations, including satanist. Grifts like ONA for example look pretty unironic – their proselytizing talks a big game at least.

                  If said gods promote sexual promiscuity. Or condemns eroticism in marriage as lust.

                  Or if said god demands human sacrifice. If require spiritual possession of the person. Or practices result in people losing their reason and self-control.

                  Or involve disfiguring and mutilating one’s own body and involves tattoos.

                  Like the worship of the Goddess Cybele that involves the castration of Men who also cross-dressed as women.

                  Certain cults also involved inverting the sex roles with women cross-dressing as Men and Men cross-dressing as women. Defacing and defiling the Dignity of both Men and Women.

                  Similarly cross-dressing can cross into behaviorally adopting the behaviors appropriate to the opposite sex.

                  Those “God’s” are demons. Those “beings” that love death more than life that love corruption over wholeness.

                  That promote anti-social behaviors.

                  This white man’s experience of Yoga and Kundalini is frankly demonic. Even Buddhism had demonic origins.

                  Its far from the True God and spiritual nourishment.

                  Kali is definitely a demon.

                  It seems that the a lot of which looks like to be the Aryan religion of his Ancestors is actually demon worship.

                  Seems to be real Aryan religion in its origins is far more related to Orthodoxy and the Christian religion. Maybe even identical.

                  Considering how sons(?) of Rus have been brainwashed into declaiming their own fathers and Great Father Perun as demons, I’m not surprised. Olga was the chief culprit[1], of course, and Vladimir the main executor, but the blood of Rus will take its toll, keep taking it.

                  Repudiation of ancestors is a central tenet of wannabe Semites[2].

                  +1 for effort in trying interpretatio Iudaica, but you will never be a real Jew.

                  [1] She made a deal with Semitic agents (early Christians were literally Jews, esp the “Hero” Paul who was a Jew and a Pharisee to boot) and their Patron Demon where she sold the soul of Rus to him in exchange for revenge for her husband and temporal power. Seems like exactly the kind of deal a witch would make.

                  [2] Does not apply to real Semites, of course, because they are the actual long-nosed sons of Abraham and hence worship the long-nosed God of Abraham, have been doing it since at least Exodus. Hence Christian converts affecting more Judaism than actual Jews (Judaism being considered a “modern” “innovation” according to these heretics), and Turk Muslim converts being more Muslim than Arabs.

                • jim says:

                  Today’s Judaism is a modern innovation. It is Christian descended via Jewish concubines. It is Judaism recovered and reinvented, the way modern paganism is paganism recovered and re-invented.

                  Judaism was almost biologically extinguished with the fall of Israel, at least in the male line. Before the fall of the temple, Jews traced Jewishness in the male line. When Judaism was recovered and re-invented, they switched to tracing in the female line, because otherwise few would have qualified.

                  What are you going on about? Orthodox navel-gazing and Yogi navel-gazing is essentially the same thing. They look at their navel while doing rhythmic breathing and repeating a mantra. It’s just that Orthodox make a big deal out of autohypnosis and make it seem as if it’s achieving of Beatific Vision whilst alive.

                  I don’t see how anything in your comment is a response to the experiences that this person had?

                  As for the so called demonization of Ancestors. Maybe you don’t realize that demons can imitate Ancestors or Angels of Light.

                  @Miserius

                  “What are you going on about? Orthodox navel-gazing and Yogi navel-gazing is essentially the same thing.

                  If that is so then it resembles the original Aryan religion much more doesn’t it?

                  No demons like Kali for example to pollute the Glory of the Uncreated Light of God.

                  Judaism is a bastardization of the original religion that involved the Temple and the Sacrifices of that Temple.

                  Even Christ himself claims that the Old Testament was about him. And not whatever the Traditions of the Elders the Pharisees made up.

                  So in that sense is a continuation of that original religion of sacrifice but Christ has fulfilled that role making Ritual Cleanliness and Animal Sacrifice irrelevant.

                • jim says:

                  Quite so. The falling away that Christ denounced has been continued in today’s Judaism.

                  The Church is the new, replacement Israel. We are the heirs of the Old Testament. The Jews disinherited themselves by Jewing God, going over the fine print of the deal in a stereotypically Jewish manner.

                  Gnon was not amused.

                • jim says:

                  In his prophetic segue following the parable of the Wicked Vinedressers, Jesus ties together a bunch of previous (ambiguous) old Testament prophecies, and tells us that following his crucifixion, this is how they will be fulfilled.

                  Which implies that had the Jews accepted him, they might well have been fulfilled in a different manner.

                • info23 says:

                  @jim

                  The reason prophecies seems ambiguous before the events is precisely because God doesn’t want Men to try to fulfill the Prophecies themselves and screw up Divine Providence. Or have enough details as to make it possible to try to thwart it.

                  The Book of Daniel which predicted the succession of Empires from Babylon, Medo-Persia, Alexander the Great and his 4 Generals who carved up his Empire and the Roman Empire which succeeded them is case in point.

                  With respect to the article posted by the overly Orthodox man:

                  I have had great experience and results with Western yoga and meditation without any nonsense. Obviously I tune out the instructor’s woo-woo, the talk of chakras and light and divinity and such, and focus on my material self.

                  I wonder, if the author were to go through the exact same physical motions, but did it to praise Christ (dressing up a pagan ritual as any other), would he feel so bad about it? Relaxing your nervous system and lowering muscle tension through movement and breath control is not inherently spiritual at all. Seems the old yogis did find good methods to achieve relaxation and parasympathetic nervous states, and there’s no harm in copying that.
