Art of War in 2022

War matters, so promoting this conversation to a post.

Mister Grumpus asks:

> The narrative is shifting to the Russians managing to muddle through anyway, and the blue-and-yellow Ukraine flags have all but vanished from Twitter.

Ukraine has been attempting World War I tactics, which worked great for a little while, but they are starting to run out of troops willing to fight. Currently it is World War I, which is a horrifyingly costly and destructive way of waging war, and the cost is biting both sides hard, but seems to be costing the Ukrainians worse.

The problem with World War I tactics is that they rely on the fact that frightened troops do not flee artillery bombardment, they dig in. Which prevents attempts to advance no matter how much artillery the enemy applies. But when you try to move those terrified troops from the location where they were being bombarded, to a new location, they are apt to dig in their heels once they have been removed from the old location on the front, where the enemy has become become tired of attacking, and are ordered to go to a new location on the front, where the enemy is, despite the great cost of World War I tactics, advancing. So the Russians are having success by endlessly, unpredictably, and unexpectedly, switching from one segment of the front to another. The Ukrainians are trying to reuse troops, which neither side was very successful in doing during World War I. World War I tactics use up, consume, and exhaust your army.

We are now seeing very large numbers of mutinies by Ukrainian grunts. We are also seeing a deep reluctance of officers to go to the front.

> Has Has the steady grind of Russian artillery fire and Ukrainian logistical disappointment undermined their Info Epoch Warfare? Pulled the plug on it somehow?

> What I no longer see is video of tanks driving around. That must still be way too dangerous with all those man-portable missiles out there.

> Maybe Info Epoch Warfare is still the winning ticket, unless your opponent (Russia) is happy to just shoot many thousand artillery shells and advance X yards per day, and can safely resupply themselves via a fully protected highway.

The Russian computer network penetration effort has failed. Their state level hackers just don’t seem very good at it. Compare and contrast the immensely successful network penetration by American Military intelligence.

Last time the I knew anything about what state level actors were doing, the US had massive penetration of everyone’s computer network, and the Chinese were starting, barely starting, to have some success in excluding them. The Chinese were not even trying to penetrate other people’s networks, though maybe they are now. I see no sign of it. They demand companies insert of obvious spyware in their networks, which is quite useless because if you know where the spyware is, you feed it bullshit and bypass it for what really matters, and they send spearfish emails, which get the same treatment if you try to spearfish someone with half a brain. Russian state networks were, and recently still were, wide open. If you cannot defend your computer networks, you probably cannot attack other people’s networks, because you cannot identify vulnerabilities. Russian response to identified vulnerabilities has been foolish and self destructive, covering them up rather than addressing them. One should pay the hacker if he shows you how he did it and helps you to do it to other people, and prevent other people from doing it to oneself, attempt to find him and harm him if he does not.

Russia has been vigorously attempting human penetration of Ukraine human networks, with surprisingly disappointing success. I am now coming to the conclusion that to do human penetration, you need a shared faith.

Stalin had a live state religion, so had immense success in penetrating human networks. Russia is making an effort to revive its state religion, but in the Ukraine, nonetheless has had poor success. Failed to properly utilize Old type Christians, who are being vigorously and murderously persecuted in the Ukraine. The Jesuits had and have immense success in penetrating human networks, though their inner religion now appears to be serpent Christ. The Alawites also had immense success, with an outer religion of Mohammedanism, a middle religion that has syncretic layers of Christianity, Zoroastrianism, and at its center, the inner religion, the innermost religion, a mysterious faith whose nature is alleged to be pagan, but who knows? Only them and God. The Alawites have been doing this for a very very long time, since at least anno Domini 1100, and the touch of Zoroastrianism hints that they may be descended from a faith immensely older. They have good human penetration and immensely good human security.

Looking at efforts at human penetration, look faith based. And because human penetration requires lying, demonic faiths have an advantage in penetration, though they have a disadvantage in preventing penetration. I don’t see any obvious demonic symptoms with the Alawites, but given their very good human security, I would not. Maybe their inner religion has good distinction between lies that can be told and lived without moral compromise, and lies that cannot. Or maybe it does not. Hard to know.

During two millennia of attempted, and sometimes successful, hostile entryism against Christian state religions, entryist groups concocted ever more elaborate systems of ideas and rationalizations so that they could say the right things, in a sense truthfully, but with the deliberately wrong meanings. Which seems odd. Why not just plain lie? Why do creeds and shill tests work? Why have they gone on working for millenia?

Just lying works for the individual, but for the group, not so much, because your agents are apt to become double and triple agents. The best liar believes what he says, so you need a lie that is fundamentally incompatible with the enemy faith, but whose fundamental incompatibility is subtle.

Information Epoch warfare worked great for Trump. It has not been working for Russians, but they are trying. Maybe they will get better. War is a stern teacher.

> Maybe the Bayraktar drones really can find and disable artillery pieces all day long, but Uncle Sam refuses to buy more because Turkish Man Bad. Heck if I know.

Drones are costing the Russians a lot, costing both sides but mostly it is not autonomous drones, but simply dumb drones in line of sight of their controllers, and for moderate range often directly above their controller at altitude (the Ukrainians claim to have a very substantial advantage in distance drone vision) looking down on artillery battles from above. The huge advantage of autonomous drones is that they extend the battlefield all the way, which advantage no one except Turkey has utilized. In the Information Epoch, the battlefield will soon be everywhere. In the Armenian war, the Azerbaijanis gained a huge advantage by extending the battle field all the way throughout the entire disputed territory. Well, time to dispute the enemy capital. Which the Russians have been trying to do, without a lot of success.

Both sides have autonomous long range drones, though I heard some whining from the Ukrainians that they are mighty hard to use autonomously. Autonomous drones had immense impact in the recent Armenian war. Maybe in this war both sides are finding them hard to use. Needs better UI, and better mission controllers.

In the Information Epoch, the military needs high IQ warriors. Maybe neither the Russians nor the Ukrainians have them.

    Here’s a Slavic language TGram channel that is purportedly by Russian soldiers for RF supporters. I don’t speak or read the language, so I can’t confirm it.

    https://t.me/separ_13

    What I can speak is “man language,” and the pictures and footage show the dangerous renewal brought to a generation by just war. Idealizing combat is a game for the young and ignorant. War sucks on many levels. But hardship brings out the based man in all of us, if we survive and ignite the inner killing fire. This is why the wars of the 20th century were such an affront to the warrior class. For every Easy Company or Großdeutschland Division, you have scores of companies and regiments and divisions obliterated in mind and body by artillery. We all know but seem to ignore the fact that artillery was the largest cause of death in both world wars. hard to find honor on a battlefield of raining death, yet some men always seem to do it. The Z bois that make it through this war, and the next one, and the next one… they will have the iron blood required to pick up where the Occident decided to quit, GNON willing.

    By way of Isegoria:

    https://youtu.be/nwK_XLFOm_I

    Eric Prince interviewed by Shawn Ryan. Still working my way through it, but something jumped out at me: Prince has 12 kids. Musk has 8. Using only these 2 data points (super strong argument, lol), I posit that we could build a map of the Dissident Elite by seeing who in the wealth/status/influence category has more than 4 children. regardless of their politics, religiosity, or proclivity, these people are the ones who have the most at stake and would be most likely motivated to Grasp The Nettle and Accept Power.

          • Pooch says:

            I think Musk really wants to be a Napoleonic figure. He sees this opportunity for a populist movement similar to Caesar and Napoleon and he’s narcissist enough that he wants to be the one to do it. He doesn’t want to sponser someone to do it, he wants to be in the center.

            It would be kind of hilarious if our triumvirate ends up being a billionaire class of Musk, Bezos, and Thiel. I actually think Musk is less competent than he believes he is. He may have some dunning-kruger going on. Thiel and Bezos are probably both smarter than Musk and they rightly get others to be the front men for their projects whereas Elon is obsessed with his brand and his name and face in the media.

            • jim says:

              Dunning–Kruger effect. You think Thiel and Bezos are smarter because IQ gap between you and them is less than the IQ gap between you and Musk.

              If Bezos is even half as smart as Musk, how come Bezos rocket engines fail, and Musk rocket engines work?

              Musk is a priest engineer. Lacks military expertise. Peter Thiel funded research in artificial intelligence, life extension, and seasteading, indicating he is not very smart, probably not only less smart than Musk, but less smart than Bezos.

              Well, I am right now researching AI in the construction of an algorithm for my name system, to find the path to the network address of a computer identified by a public key, from peers whose network addresses are already known, hopping from identity to identity as the Bittorrent DHT hops, but without its vulnerability to shills and sybils, because the public key represent stable and known peers, and likely not entryist or shill peers, while the bittorent DHT network has no stable identities, because of its pathfinding algorithm.

              But the difference between myself and Peter Thiel is that I know, and Peter Thiel does not know, that most AI researchers are ignorant idiots who do not understand that what they are trying to do cannot be done by known methods, and their research is worthless. Substantial life extension requires deeper knowledge of biology and more fundamental basic research than we yet possess, and seasteading was just silly for the reasons pointed out by Moldbug long ago.

              • Kunning Drueger says:

                IEW makes seasteading possible.

                • Kunning Druegger says:

                  Well, my idea wasn’t a traditional sea stead, that being a clumsy floating shit box dependent upon green energy and a hard line to grid power. I envisioned a network of networked deep sea platforms that float separately and come together as needed, particularly for launch and recovery of starships.

                  Imagine 4 of these monsters:
                  https://jpt.spe.org/the-many-growing-pains-of-shells-prelude-flng-continue

                  that can connect together with deep sea drilling style platforms between to be used as launch/landing pad. Given the size, putting advanced radar and hypersonic missile silos is trivial. It makes the carriers and destroyer fleets relevant again.

                  As it stands, the entire utility of the Chinese missile screen is the assumption that the US will come to them and attack them in their front or backyard. Purely defensive. Imagine the “string of pearls” being mobile…

                • jim says:

                  Indeed, the way to seasteading is as a lot of ships that can lock together into a big platform, or divide and go their separate ways and re-arrange. But the trouble is that each ship can be rather easily destroyed.

                @Oog en Hand

                Hey buddy, here’s a simple and easy to answer multiple choice Redpill on Women Question for you:

                Complete the following the sentence: Women misbehave because –
                [A] Capitalism makes them misbehave, by economically incentivizing reckless high time-reference behavior over long-term planning. The capitalist class benefits from one night stands and sterility, as it benefits from third world immigration of spendthrift cheap labor to replace frugal Whites. If it weren’t for capitali$m, women would totally be completely sinless angels.
                [B] The (((Jews))) make these totally innocent angels misbehave, since the Jews own the media and the entire entertainment industry from Hollywood down to the tiniest pornography studio, and use them to direct propaganda at women, telling them to fuck Blacks and lowlifes. There’s no way that pure White women desire to be on OnlyFans to whore for money. The Jews forced these angels on that website.
                [C] Sorry, but this is a misleading question. Women don’t misbehave at all. All misbehavior is done by men, who are vile pigs.
                [D] Lecherous men make them misbehave, since men are ultimately responsible for all female behavior (including misbehavior), and unlike women, men have self-control and moral agency. Thus it logically follows that any female misbehavior would merely reflect bad decisions taken by irresponsible and lustful men. It is men’s fault entirely, so men must be forced to pay for every bad decision done by any random women.
                [E] They are feral, blindly following ancient instincts from prehistoric times, which instincts tell them to cruise for rape by alpha male Chads, and to resist kicking-and-screaming all attempts to restrain them from pursuing alpha male Chads. Stable monogamy has always been a way to allow each man to own a woman so each man can start a family and raise a future generation for civilization’s survival.

    • jim says:

      You are now on moderation, pending passing a shill test. Say something that may not be said.

      If the magistrate claims a monopoly of violence, including small scale violence against individual evildoers, and pursues evildoers with tolerable effectiveness, Christians are obligated to obey the laws of the state, among them the law granting the magistrate a monopoly.

      If the magistrate claims a monopoly of violence, but enforces anarcho tyranny, Christians may quietly evade. There is long established principle that Christians may quietly evade evil laws, and monopoly of violence, monopolized by people selectively inactive, is an evil law.

      Wicked laws may be quietly disobeyed – in some cases, must be disobeyed. Paul, who told us to obey the magistrate, was executed for refusing to obey a wicked law.

      Throughout history, most states have claimed and vigorously enforced a monopoly on large scale organized legitimate violence, but have been relaxed about small scale legitimate violence against individual evildoers. Globohomo is anomaly. Enforcing the monopoly of legitimate violence even against legitimate violence that does not potentially threaten the supremacy of the state is excessive and unwise. Monopolies are always inefficient, and this monopoly adversely affects the male status hierarchy in female eyes, rendering female sexual choice even more dysgenic than it already is.

      • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

        Posters like i are the set up – “I am more christian than you; this is what christianity is” – and posters like oog are the dunk – “look at what christianity is as accorded by this person who is more christian than you; isn’t it just terrible?”.

          This is the result of my error in not cross-checking the meaning of the NIV translation with the meaning of the KJV, as both posters saw an opportunity to attack. Whether or not this was coordinated organically depends on their answers to the shill tests.

      Russians took out “a plastic woman sent there to promote anal sex” – which is funny but not accurate. More accurately she was sent there to make war in Ukraine cool, attractive, and consistent with the blue pill.

      This suggests that Russia is starting to get the hang of Information Epoch warfare. They have also nailed some important globohomo journalists.

      That is how you do it. More important than taking out mobile artillery. Note that she was located in Kharkiv, which has been comfortably far from the front lines since the Russians abandoned the dangerously exposed fruits of the blitzkrieg effort, but close enough to the front to make a cool story line.

      Information Epoch warfare is memetic warfare in which entryists can not only call in deplatforming, cancellation, and demonetization, but also drone strikes.

  6. Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

    At age 15, 1873, Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria writes to his tutor: “the many poor rightly see their enemy in the few who consume their substance”. At age 24, he writes to a friend: “a tremendous change has to come, a social restructuring…”

    Now just why would such a one as he, no less the future sovereign of an empire, write such a thing? Perhaps the better questions is: what else could he have possible written? For such was the milieu, that had insinuated itself into the discourse of the age.

    When men capable of greatness look for something Great to do, it is the visions of greatness that society provides them – that the preaching men of society provides them – that they first of all see, and resolve upon as their lodestars.

    This is one key factor in understanding in general the persistence of leftisms in deconstructing societies, hosts and neighbors that fall under the influence of the hosts in turn alike, once the memetic highground of outlets for delivering the Word have been occupied.

    It is also a key factor for understanding in particular, how one may happen to find certain kinds of otherwise prominent men serving leftism, serving to to usher in futures of abject degeneracy and collapse, in men they themselves would never have tolerated at the time – by instinct if not principle. Let us consider the 32nd president of the United States of America as an illustrative example.

    Perhaps the first thing to understand about Franklin Roosevelt, is that from a young age, he idolized his elder cousin, Theodore Roosevelt. He understood him as doing Great things, and resolved to himself, ‘I shall achieve greatness as well’.

    But what is that greatness? Therein lies the rub.

    There was no road map, no clearly delineated pathways, no publicly vaunted ideals of aretic civitas, long since discarded as ‘ignorant relics’ of ‘unselfaware’ times – such is the irony – which no fashionable man would bring up for fear of embarrassment. (Perhaps the ultimate source of embarrassment, would be that secret fear in each man who would laugh, scarecly consciously acknowledged, that if such visions were de rigueur in discourse, they would not be able to measure up in them.)

    Visions of greatness in a society in the process of being hollowed out by modernity; which is to say whigism; which is to say gnosticism; are empty ciphers – no positive visions as such, but merely relational contingencies, vis-a-vis one’s stature relative to other ones. FDR resolved for himself to ‘make America great’; and of course, the easiest way he saw to accomplish this, was to make the whole rest of the world less great.

    All of his ostensible politics from moment to moment can be understood under this lens. The teleological content of promoted platforms and positions being more or less irrelevant, but for their utility in winning elections, in gaining validation, in elevating social status. Uncritical instinctive positions on anything from segregation to female emancipation, are quickly thrown to the wayside in response to the far more powerful instinct for social validation; forming a symbiotic feedback loop with more pious agents of the gnostic faith.

    But of course, all subversion comes home to roost. Temporary supremacy brought about by laying low rivals with cancers that infect themselves just as readily. He who conquers the city by pulling down its walls, finding himself in turn even more vulnerable to the next army after.

    People have ideas. Organizations do not have ideas, they have people; and so in large part, changing the ‘mind’ of an organization means changing it’s people. A people formed into an organization generates an inertia. Their inertias are what they are. The major point of laying out visions here, then, is not necessarily to convince – if you have commanding heights, then it is largely trivial, and if you don’t, then it is largely intractable – but so as to have such solutions ‘ready at hand’, in the inevitable case – if you are righteous – that the institution smacks its face into realities so predicted, and the men picking up the pieces now have an excuse to go, ‘but of course friends, this is the solution’, taking it from off the shelf.

    And that’s how the Holy Roman Empire was founded.

    • Kunning Druegger says:

      It is widely understood that temporary measures, piecemeal actions or constrained campaigns, are merely speedbumps, or maybe buoy-bound harpoons, to Cthulu’s inexorable drift. Fine. Is there a scientific utility, a building of an experiment for sciences now nascent to be discovered and erected and deployed by future men, to the capture, deconstruction, and reconstruction of a bureaucratic entity?

      >Organizations do not have ideas, they have people; and so in large part, changing the ‘mind’ of an organization means changing it’s people.

      If so, is there any worth to the direct action of taking hold of some minor bureaucracy, say at the lowest level of governance with a minimum threshold of populational impact, vacating every single position, then reconstituting it with a curated selection of people with an eye toward “Their inertias?” The goal is not to arrest the decline, fix the problem, or anything holistic or grandiose. It is merely to see what a Full Renewal of a bureaucratic entity would do.

      I can see how this is something many would feel quite comfortable believing it is unnecessary or irrelevant. Conquest’s Laws being what they are, as well the Iron Laws of Oligarchy and Bureaucracy, guarantee the long term outcome. But I posit that, while our macro-theories are sound and concrete enough to do Social Engineering Math, we are actually very much in the dark about the nuts and bolts of Institutional Renewal in our age. Can an example be pointed to of a full Slate Wipe of a modern institution? I submit that skinsuit conversions and top down political guard changes are not sufficient for categorical statements.

      Targeting is complex. A school system is too large, though the workload downtime of Summer Break provides a useful window of time for the fire/hire process, so maybe a single education institution? A small department at the county level?

      The tendency in American politics would be to take the cloak & dagger path. I think skullduggery would be a mistake. Better to keep the entire exercise in the open. No secrets means nothing to hide. This doesn’t mean there won’t be accusations of invisible conspiracy, but that is a given no matter the truth of the matter.

      Does this idea violate passivism, is it an exercise in futility, is it guaranteed to be impossible; these are hurdles in the form of questions. If No suffices for all three, then I say why not? It is not a hideously complicated process like Reforming DoD, or Fixing the Department of State. It is in line with many Official Conservative Aspirations, meaning there is institutional support available. It could even be pointed at an institution that is already friendly to “the cause,” whichever cause that might be, such that those being “fired” are in on the experiment, aware of what’s happening, and made a part of the process.

      “The major point of laying out visions here, then, is not necessarily to convince – if you have commanding heights, then it is largely trivial, and if you don’t, then it is largely intractable – but so as to have such solutions ‘ready at hand’, in the inevitable case – if you are righteous – that the institution smacks its face into realities so predicted, and the men picking up the pieces now have an excuse to go, ‘but of course friends, this is the solution’, taking it from off the shelf.”

      So, would a dry run be a useful, worthwhile exercise?

        Men setting down roots with each other – growing into an organization – is a primal source of power; and course, is also the very thing the atomism of modernity most affects. In general, and especially when targeted by ordinators of chaos, always watching out for any chaotic upswells of order.

    This video is from 2005:

    https://www.ted.com/talks/thomas_barnett_let_s_rethink_america_s_military_strategy

    I sincerely apologize for linking a TEDTalk, but if you want to figure out what the Cathedral/Polygon/Brain is planning, TED is where the ideas appear after the Inner Sanctum has approved them. There’s an overwhelming amount of woo-woo and just unbelievably stupid shit, but there’s also the key players and roadmap for all the big GAE social mega-projects going on, from RNA vaccination to population control to trans- worship. It was all there for everyone to see, it’s right there in the name: Technology Entertainment Design Ideas Worth Spreading.

    This particular one is interesting. It’s from 2005 by a guy named Thomas Barnett[1] who is shilling for an idea. Here’s the blurb provided by TED: “In this bracingly honest talk, international security strategist Thomas Barnett outlines a post-Cold War solution for the foundering U.S. military that is both sensible and breathtaking in its simplicity: Break it in two.”

    Barnett advocated for a reformulation of the USM. He asserted that there should be a war making component (the Leviathan) and a peacekeeping component (the System Administrators). He used Iraq II as his case study. The talk is pretty cringe, and it’s 23 minutes long, so i understand if there’s no stomach for watching. But if you can power through, I think there’s a kernel of value presented, if only for a discussion on why his idea is impossible. The talk is interesting for its content as well as its delivery. it is a window on the world of the elites back then.

    Bonus material: 15:47, you’ll find some interesting thoughtcrime.

            Sure, but that’s not what I meant. When you put a bullet into a man’s head, he is surely dead. When give a 1000 men the clot shot and a booster, maybe 3 of them die with a year, but you don’t know who will die. That is why I call killing by clot shot “random”.

              It will be likely more than 3 in 1000. At the present rate it will be at least 1% and this is before the normal flu season.

                Of course it will be much more. Most sequela of the clot shot kill slowly. Mycarditis, vAIDS, auto immune diseases, cancer, etc. Chances to survive one year are pretty good, chances to survive 5 years are terrible.

        This decision, and the omission of any info regarding the Time Capsule, are the most interesting facets of this case thus far.

        If you didn’t watch the video, it is a bunch of oggaboogas larping as western journalists, asking assembled Wagner operators if they are “Wagner” or if they know where Wagner is. The responses are pretty similar, one says “No, I’m Vasily” then the squad commander decides to show the journos his Wagner, literally whipping out his cock. It happens a couple times. One of the Gigachads actually pisses. The hard bass-d music kicks in as a montage of ostensibly Wagner operators, technicals, and assets rekt-shites Syria and Central African warzones.

        Picture this: it’s Iraq in 2006. Some buxom Harvard grad wearing a PRESS labeled flak vest is interviewing balaclava’d mercs outside of Irbil. The dense ditzy duncette asks each one in turn “Are you blackwater?” They respond with “No” or “I’m Triple Canopy.” Then the squad leader grabs the reportress by her tactical bun and forces her to her knees. She looks up hopefully, fear and desire swirling through her eyes. “Here baby, I’ll show you my Blackwater.” The camera op holds the frame for just a moment as Chad deploys the Stinger, then tilt-pans over to a gray-painted bearcat rumbling down the road while matte black MH-6s nose down orbit the city center that’s belching smoke and the lamentations of their women.

        I was going to make this a standalone post, but I’ll just leave it here, and if it’s worthy of discussion, it will happen:

Set the example that to desist is to suffer at the hands of the managerial elite inevitably, making all men of true substance confront the fact that we didn’t stand up when we were strong, we are having a hard time standing up while we are weak, and if we don’t stand up at all, we will die on our knees, raped and ruined.

              Didn’t work for the truckers, one reason I’ve always had a soft spot for Oliver Cromwell is he was right… its folly to strike the king unless you’re striking to kill… its not something to be done lightly but if you’re in for a penny you’re in for a pound.

              • Jehu says:

                I suspect you’re right there. Nothing short of pretty much destroying all of the institutions is likely to work. The truckers could do that if they were willing to do a general strike. Logistical kill of GAE is an option, although it has massive collateral damage. Dutch minecraft with a willingness to take control of the whole country might do it with a lot less collateral damage. But that would require the protesters to believe that they have the right to rule. That’s hard, the Confederates in the Civil war didn’t think they had that right and they were probably the closest to success. Live and let live just means you get defeated in detail.

                  Normal people just don’t think that way. They want to be left alone and most don’t really want to rule over people that don’t like them. The problem is you can’t live and let live with people who won’t do the same. People like that you have to either exterminate or crush and strip of any political or military or cultural power. And that is a seriously hard sell to John Q Normal. The closest you get is in issues like late term abortions, where even normie Christians can frequently smell the brimstone.

They might get angry, but boomers still turn on the TV every evening, and there’s no Tucker Carlson in Europe. Much of the language and memes I see here and on gab, I just don’t see in Europe. For instance in the case of the farmers, they don’t really understand that their government hates them and wants them dead. Many of them think it’s some kind of ploy to obtain land for building.

                The Canadians drew a line, then didn’t hold it. All they had to do was stay until relieved or be physically removed. they didn’t have to go on the offensive, they didn’t have to take a shot at the in situ governance structure. They just had to stand by their unwillingness to participate in the maintenance of society under the current leadership. They broke and ran.

                Understand what I am advocating: standing in front of the enemy and saying: I will not be moved of my own accord. Do what you will. This is not a small thing, and it is also not enough. It would not be some grand victory that would topple the GAE. What it would be is a signal to certain elites that an opportunity exists, bound up in the bodies and minds of common men seeking and needing a leader.

      Ah yes I’m overdue for a post on that topic…

      So it turns out we have a nitrogen crisis, which is to say, too much nitrogen in the soil in the form of ammonia and nitrous oxides. This causes lop sided nature — mostly more nettles and less biodiversity.

      Who is the culprit? Our highlt esteemed state researchers point that it is the fault of the cattle farmers — we have a fairly high amount of them in proportion to the rest of Europe. So we now have new nitrogen laws which on paper mandate the halving of the cattle, in practice make cattle farming impossible. Naturally with similar nasty consequences for fertilizer (artificial fertilizer costs a lot of gas) and corn production (which is mostly for cattle).

      All in all, an agressive attack on Dutch Amerikaners as well as the food production.

                If a human being emits a kilogram of co2 per day by breathing, 10 billion will emit 10 billion kilograms a day.

                A cubic kilometer of co2 has 2 billion kilograms of co2 so 10 billion humans emit 5 cubic kilometers of co2 per day.

                So for a a billion cubic km of co2 would take 10 billion humans 200 million days or 548 thousand years.

    @Jim, it was stated that you brought up white women (aside from Russian, Persian and Jewish) are mostly mid wits. I believe that but am curious if you would have any references to help back that up. Also, how is this explained since white men have such high discrepancy in terms of intellect, especially between the various white races?

    • Javier says:

      In The Manipulated Man, Esther Vilar pointed out that women enjoy menial chores because they’re stupid. She further explained women are stupid because their brains atrophy from disuse. For women it is vastly easier to find a man to do things for you than to figure it out yourself, so they devote their mental capacity towards capturing male investment. It further serves to reason that evolution would favor these traits as dependency in women visibly raises reproductive success.

      Are there studies proving women are dumb? Do you really think youre going to find research that proves cathedral heresy? Good luck with that. At some point you have to accept the evidence of your eyes and ears, and stop relying on official sources.

        If I recall, I remember reading that men and women have approximately the same mean IQ (midwit), but men have a higher standard deviation, leading to both a higher proportion of geniuses and morons.

        • jim says:

          Men and women don’t have approximately the same average IQ. That is an official falsification. But the main difference is that the variance among men is substantially larger. Women are on average dumber than men, and simply less capable of rationality. But there are far more really dumb men than really dumb women.

        • S says:

          Midwit doesn’t mean mean IQ. Midwits are people just above average (105-115 I believe; it isn’t an official category). It is more of a social categorization referring to people who think they know alot more then they do (because they are smart enough to social signal intelligence, but not smart enough to sift through garbage).

          • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

            Midwit is those people who are smarter than average, but still outside of the 2-sigma communications gap of the actually very intelligent. Due to the communications gap and the fact that most of the things that they do not understand come from stupid people, they tend to lump intelligent analysis that they do not understand in with the stupid things stupid people say. It leaves them with a sense of undeserved superiority and a habit of ignoring the smartest person in the room in favor of other midwit experts.

  13. Pax Imperialis says:

    Can anyone find a study or government statistic that shows what percentage of child molesters are homosexuals/same gender? As in “x% of child molesters are homosexual” or “x% of child molesters are same gender.” Another interesting statistic would be “X percentage of homosexual men are child molesters.”

    Parameters:

    The study or statistic must be from the last 20 years and it cannot simply be citing statistics from before 2002.

    The study or statistic must come from a reasonably reliable source. Ironically, NAMBLA had the most damning stats when the implications were considered, but were also highly muddied and obfuscated without provided any clear statistics.

    The study or statistic must be clear as in it does not redefine homosexual or muddy the water. For example many current statistics combine “bisexuals” with heterosexuals and then claim that homosexual/same gender child molesters are rare without giving a percentage. A “bisexual” man who molests a boy is a homosexual child molester.

    End of parameters:

    I’ve been looking for the data for the last 2 weeks and cannot find it at all in the English speaking net. I can find allusions to the statistic which indicates governments/organizations have the stats, but they simply don’t publish it.

    What little I’ve seen from the EU net gives me strong suspicion that they don’t publish as well. It’s likely that only the Russians or Chinese even publish those stats, but I don’t speak those languages.

    • jim says:

      > Can anyone find a study or government statistic that shows what percentage of child molesters are homosexuals/same gender? As in “x% of child molesters are homosexual”

      Of course you cannot, not worth looking, because in the unlikely event you find something, it is going to be barefaced lies.

      But, kind of obvious that the percentage is close to a hundred percent, if we do not count very young fertile age women as “children”

      • Pax Imperialis says:

        “Of course you cannot”

        I bet the Russians publish their stats. They are close enough to White Americans their figures should be roughly equatable in regard to child molestation. I’m hoping one of the Russian posters here would have something.

        “not worth looking, because in the unlikely event you find something, it is going to be barefaced lies.”

        I’ve mostly not come across barefaced lies by a very big margin. The researchers will say things like “gay male child molesters are a minority” and “80% of male child molesters are homosexual or bisexual men” without telling how much of the 80% are “bisexual.” The implications, 1 percent of men are gay, are full of wrong think. They just won’t say it directly (for obvious reasons). 13% does 50% is a better ratio than 1% does at least 20% if not far more.

        I came across a 2016 study that found 68% of trans kids are sexually abused and that they are not trans because of abuse. The paper was about HIV spread (in the gay community) that had nothing in its title or abstract about sexual abuse of children. Again the implications are full of wrong think (because if the paper is about HIV spread in the gay community why is it important to look at sexual abuse of trans kids?). There are some other papers on HIV spread that also discreetly brings up child molestation.

        The western institutions censors very narrowly (this is highly surprising compared to what has happened in other areas of research) to prevent the x% data from being published but is allowing an awful lot of the peripheries to leak. I want to get as much data (even periphery data) as possible archived before the censorship expands.

        • Red says:

          Why are you bothering? The very first faggot couple to adopt was eventually locked up for years of raping the boy they adopted and they passed him around to their friends as well.

          I’ve mostly not come across barefaced lies by a very big margin. The researchers will say things like “gay male child molesters are a minority” and “80% of male child molesters are homosexual or bisexual men” without telling how much of the 80% are “bisexual.”

          That’s a barefaced lie. 100% of them are cock suckers.

          • Pax Imperialis says:

            It’s not a barefaced lie, at least not to me. I’m fairly good at reading between the lines and doublespeak due to an unfortunate proximity to boomer leftist academic types. They are quite aware of these things but have “polite” way of saying things due to censors.

            Right now the implications are fairly easy to derive when you know their lingo. In the example I provided, at least 20% of child molesters are gay. It’s well known that statutory rape, which happens nearly exclusively among normal heterosexual men, gets classified as child molestation in these statistics. As in the guy thought she was 18 but it turns out she was 17.99 and now he’s on the sex offender register. Doesn’t matter if he was 22 or 99+*.

            When the statutory rape is factored out of that 80%… and the proclivities of the bisexual men are factored in which classifies them as gay… and you add the remaining number to that 20%. It’s fairly easy to reach the conclusion that gays are a very large majority of the molesters. The only question is whether it’s 70% or 80% or 90% or 100%. I personally think it’s closer to 100 than 90 based on some of my calculations.

            When it gets to the point the boomers retire and the younger activists types get in (that is happening right now) academia/government will stop trying to put things between the lines and no longer use doublespeak.

            When reading between the lines and deriving implications become impossible. That’s when we see barefaced lies being spewed all the time.

            “Why are you bothering?”

            I want to collect as much data as possible from as many previous years as possible. It has more to do with collecting a history of censorship than proving what gays are doing. I’ve got good stuff from the 1940s-1990 that are extremely consistent. 1991-2000 it starts to get hard to find explicitly stated information but it’s still fairly understandable without having to use implication, and doublespeak is fairly rare. 2000-2022 is also fairly consistent with the 1990 stuff if you can parse through the language but is highly dependent on reading between lines and understanding the doublespeak. I think mid 2020s is when there is a switch to explicit lies as in they will claim “all child molesters are heterosexual” which is where we are headed fast. The term MSM is replacing homosexual/bisexual/gay/same sex to smash those stats into the heterosexual stats much in the same way Hispanic stats were smashed into the White stats.

            If I can map out these series of changes, I can preserve a history of decline and a history of detachment from reality. If I can map out where these stats are available, I can map out quite a lot of other things. These are all very useful things.

            *at 99 I would argue it’s highly probably the guy is the one getting raped by some gold digging whore but what do I know, the state will see the frail dementia patient as literally Hitler.

          I may have had too many drinks and the above is confusing.

          • Red says:

              I was trying to explain how the studies try to hid the role homosexual men play in child molestation.

              The new newspeak is going to make things much harder to parse through.

              The new way of obfuscating the data is by referring to gays as Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM). The terms homosexual and bisexual are getting too dangerous to use. So researchers are having to say MSM and then claim that MSMs comprise a diverse group in terms of behaviors and identities. Thus even a person who is a MSM might still be classified as heterosexual.

              It’s all bullshit to hid gays and their proclivities within the regular population for official statistic purposes.

                  The MSM label makis this category disappear, it makes it invisible, a hole appears in reality, which hides something far from harmless. Enough holes like this and the whole fabric begins to tear.

                  When globohomo counts “sexual violence” they put violent rape by colored gangs and a drunken feel up into the same category. Pretending the drunken feel up and violent gang rape are the same thing, helps make invisible the demographic responsible for the gang rape.

                  When globohomo counts “antisemitism incidents”, they put into the same category sharing an edgy meme and stabbing a Jew, because the stabbing of the Jew will be by a colored gentleman, and this too must be invisible.

The issue I keep running into, mentally, is safe storage and processing. People don’t realize how “fun” lithium can be if exposed to water, so the storage methodology is not trivial. Processing is another fractally complex issue given the total lack of standardization; you basically have to sort them into like-shaped piles, then disassemble by hand.

        • Tomlin Patrickson says:

          >Solar will never be useful and economic without massive changes to the technology way outside current trends.

          Wrong. Solar power satellites, beaming the power to collection points on the surface via microwaves. Jerry Pournelle worked out all the technical side of this decades ago; most of his work is collected in “A Step Farther Out”. It’s just a question of deciding to do it.

          • jim says:

            That is massive changes to the technology way outside current trends.

            You have to put a bunch of very very large solar arrays in space, equip them with very large microwave power transmitters, and on earth, very very large power receivers. The problem is that these things are going to be big, and we have to be able to make very big things suitable for space reasonably cheaply, and ship them there.

            Because there is no weather and gravity in space, it should be possible to make ultralight solar pannels, a thin film thinner that aluminum foil. At present however, the solar panels on satellites are rather big and heavy. Also, there is the problem that extreme uv degrades the panels, so we need panels resistant to extreme uv – which is likely to require a coating of something transparent that stops uv, and does not degrade in the course of stopping it, and can stop in in a very thin layer. Currently the preferred coating for this purpose is a very very thin layer of gold. Probably cheaper metals can have similar effect, in particular tin, and are not used because they could oxidize in earths atmosphere, which would not be a concern for space bound solar panels, but they would need a controlled atmosphere during preparation and launch.

            However, supposing that we can make enormous and extremely thin solar panels that do not degrade in space, which is reasonably plausible, there is still the problem of transmitting very large amounts of power from space to earth. Which is doable with reasonably foreseeable technlogy – currently very high power radar is being considered as a weapon of destruction, and again, we can make ultra thin and ultra light antenna that take advantage of the absence of gravity and weather. But current transmitters are not all that light and high power.

            • Kunning Druegger says:

              Further still, isn’t the jump from “energy beam” to “death ray” fairly trivial? As well, the JWST has already been hit by a micrometeorite that damaged one of the hexagonal mirrors.

Re-growing materials might be the answer there, but that is a whole ‘nother can of worms.

    Off topic, but the public confirmations that even high status pretty white women lie (Amber Heard and Trump Limojacking Story Time Lady) feel significant to me.

    A key Jimmy insight is that most problems are actually woman problems, so there has to be something horrible Kali Yuga-ing up into public consciousness out there.

    Like Covid, and vaxxes, and Jan 6, and etc. They’re making the faithful only more faithful and bloodthirsty, of course, but the silent doubters are really getting their brains squeezed.

    This reminds me in a way of the Dreyfuss Affair. I don’t even know what it was about, but I know it was a big deal, and that must mean it was really about Jews somehow. Not long after, Adolf was letting them have it out in the open.

      Even as bad as most modern Western feminists are Amber Turd isn’t typical. As far as I can see men didn’t follow the case much but women did and women didn’t like her (sure it had a lot to do with many of them liking Johnny Depp but apparently she got caught lying many many times) and apparently she kept doubling down… Johnny Depp was willing to keep her off the hook for the money but she then keeps bsing is apparently demanding a new trial.

      Amber Heard seems unwilling to admit she was ever in the wrong on anything despite being very publically caught and exposed and overwhelming pressure or even shut her mouth. Seems like (though one must not give full value to headshrinkers) a full fledged NPD case (NOT a BPD case as I’ve known a couple of clinical BPD cases very well and they were not at all like this though they both had drug problems but they were actually more honest and reliable than typical women… in fact for women they were despite emotional instability very unusually good about keeping promises). In summation Amber Heard is not a typically crazy bitch of clownworld but much worse.

      Grand Theft Auto – Corruption City was just some woman bribed and/or threatened to read a script. The Grand Theft Auto part may even have been her way of sabotaging them. If it was Trump should hire her back when the smoke clears as the sabotage was brilliant…

        The fact that he was winning made them sympathize with him, and all the more reason to dislike her.

          I got the impression most of them decided she was an evil pathologically lying bitch (beyond even whats acceptable and typical in clownworld for women) before the verdict came in and that they generally thought that Johnny didn’t beat her up but probably should have. The only negative thing they would agree about Johnny is that he was a serious alcoholic and drug addict (but that she was that too).

        The problem was that treason was fashionable, and the Jews were sponsoring the fashion. Dreyfus may or may not have been guilty, the facts are well buried.

        But it seems that much of the outrage was that the army was suppressing the freedom of the individual. No shit Sherlock.

        The outrage was not so much that he was innocent, but that deeming guilty people guilty was outrageous.

        Very very similar to the Alger Hiss affair.

        • The Cominator says:

          When I examined the case last time it was discussed it appeared to me Dreyfuss really was innocent simply because the counterintelligence officer leading the charge to convict the other guy and exonerate Dreyfuss was a monarchist reactionary who in general did not all that much like jews (Piquart’s initial reaction to the event of Dreyfuss arrest which included his sword being broken was to write “He’s a Jew, don’t forget that. He’s thinking of the weight of the gold braid and how much it’s worth.”). But seemingly being autistically obsessed with the truth that the traitor was not Dreyfuss and that the jew had been framed he decided he was willing to wreck his career trying to get him exonerated and to convict the real traitor anyway.

          That the left picked up the case in order to embarass the army leadership later doesn’t change the fact that Dreyfuss initial champion was not on the left at all but a seeming reactionary autist.

      What we are seeing on the ground is that the Russians have drone superiority. They can see the Ukrainians, and the Ukrainians cannot see them.

      I seem to recall hearing the same story about advanced american artillery with computerized targeting. (US artillery is notoriously lame. It has been known to be lame for a long time. We do not yet know that American drones are lame, but I see signs that they may well be lame.)

      Observing the shelling, it is obvious that the Russians have some pretty advanced aiming systems. A drone locates a target, and a shell lands exactly on the target, no walking the shots in by observing where the first one exploded, and adjusting the gun a tiny bit for the next one. It is one shot, one kill, against targets not in line of sight of the gunner, but in sight of the drone, with the gunner a very long distance away. The Ukrainians don’t seem to have the equivalent. They walk their shots in, and if they are walking them in on a mobile artillery, their mobile artillery gets blown up first.

      Turkish drones are designed to be fully autonomous, and are not supposed to need to talk to controllers except before they take off and after they land. The Russians have some drones that are fully autonomous also. I hear that it is hard to give the Turkish drones sensible mission parameters, not easy to program them for their missions. Or maybe the Ukrainians are hiring idiots. It does seem that they have a habit of flying them under remote guidance, which of course the Russians jam.

      It hard to make a car autonomous, because it has to avoid obstacles, people, and other cars all the time. It is easy to make aircraft fly autonomously, but a good deal harder to make it recognize targets on the ground and destroy them.

      It is easy to jam a drone that is trying to listen to its controller, because you have better line of sight on it than its controller does, and you are closer. It is very hard to jam a done that is reporting what it sees to its controller.

I think he may have been a lot more accurate than I estimated. The general assertion on Russian Telegram is that the Federation is actively avoiding the use of any systems or capabilities that NATO doesn’t have a good understanding of. Of course, this could be hype. But it also could be a simple fact that Russia is fighting Ukraine in a deliberately antiquated way because they are certain that the conflict is going to spread.

      • Red says:

        Russia’s been rotating their officers and units in and out of the conflict to get them experienced and to discover problems with their units, procedures, and tactics. They discovered they had a lot problems, which is common with any new war.

        During the invasion of Poland during WW2 the German high command viewed it as a near failure due to how poorly German units had coordinated and fought together. Only the stupidity of the Polish commanders and invading from 3 sides won the day. They rewrote their procedures and retrained their men and officers based on what they had learned in Poland and 6 months later France was defeated in 6 weeks with the greatest upset in military history.

        Russia still has a tiered system of combat units A,B,C, and D from what I remember based on the age of the gear. They used mostly older stuff in the Ukraine to see if they were still combat effect in a modern war. Most of the A stuff stayed ready for a NATO attack.

        Russia’s jamming and anti air is very good but ground troops used it ineffectually and didn’t keep it up with forward units causing a lot of losses. Starlink being able to avoid jamming was a shock to the Russians, which made small drones much more effective than they otherwise would have been.

        Whatever drone system the Russians are now seems miles better than Turkey and the US gear.

            Easily. A bunch of half trained Indians fighting against tanks with no anti tank guns against a foe who had total domination of the air while British leadership actively tried to lose the battle. If it had been first rate trained and equipped troops and the British had sent a large enough air force to defend Malaysia then it would have been pretty close to the top as far unlikely defeats.

And if it had, the subsequent history of the mideast would be a tad different.

              The Israelis knew what was up. They sacrificed the moral advantage of being attacked for the certain tactical advantage of striking first. Threw everything they had, with no reserves, against Egypt, and cleared all of Sinai to the Suez. Then pivoted to Jordan, then Syria. Syria was the hardest fighting – I remember learning about one particular place in the Golan where the Israelis sent 30 or so tanks to go up a narrow road to reach the cliff top, and only two vehicles made it. You can understand why they haven’t been interested in yielding the position since.

        There have been a fair few number of theories rationalizing Russian ignore-ance of strategically valuable targets and other forms of punch-pulling in the first weeks of the invasion, most of which have already been discussed.

        One of these ideas that you mention that hasn’t though is the idea that they are are not using their best techne because they don’t want the GAE to see it. (That’s ‘techne’ in the encompassing Ionian/Heideggerian sense, be it forms of practice, organization, or material orientation.)

        I think this is also wrong-headed though, for a simple reason; institutions can’t actually ‘learn’ from observation, they only ‘learn’ in cases where they get stuck in and smack against reality.

        France and England all saw what German fighting men were up too in Spain and Poland in the late 30’s – and it availed them nothing when they first crossed swords in turn. Rather, you should take advantage of situations where conflict becomes necessary to the fullest. Russia operationally testing it’s best practices would give it a huge advantage in case of a conflict with globohomo legions, who would have no such benefit of a ‘shakedown cruise’ to work through the inevitable failures.

        • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

          We also need to consider that the stated goal Russia is pursuing is the demilitarization of Ukraine. They are chewing through an entire generation of Ukranian men. The word I am hearing has the Ukranians sending press gangs to churches and prisons to get men, then even having to supplement with women. The damage that is going to do to the Ukranian genotype is going to be catastrophic, to the point that they probably will not be able to field a military for generations. The Russians are demilitirizing Ukraine at the genetic level.

          If they end the war too quickly they end up with a lot of pissed off fighting men being supported by globohomo. A recipe for partisans and guerrillas all over the country. Instead, they have devastated the population of Ukraine that would staff any resistance movement. There is no one left to start a fight. This is a desert called peace.

          • Kunning Druegger says:

            I know it is dangerous to compare wars, particularly across racial and ethnic groups, but remember that the insurgency in Iraq was distinct from the native military resistance of the actual war. While there were plenty of actual Iraqis playing insurgent games, there was a significant number of foreign fighters that streamed in from neighboring states. These FFs were motivated by religion and regional in-group factors. GAE is fighting a religious war, albeit clumsily at this point. Ditto for Russia, even if they don’t realize it yet.

            Thus far, we’ve seen a bifurcated reality of FFs going into Ukraine: the Reddit reality (billions and trillions of former delta ranger seals with 75 years of combat experience HALO jumping into Red Square!) and the actual reality (a couple thousand FF volunteers, half of which fled after first contact). Of that second group, the real danger is not extant during the shooting war; artillery doesn’t give a shit about combat experience. But I posit that there is a significant danger of FF involvement *after* the shooting war concludes. From the GAE perspective, sending or motivating young men who constitute a danger to their distributed domestic plans will be highly desirable. They can do this through propaganda or direct financial motivation, and the impact will be greater as it is likely that the RF will not keep the same footprint they have now, meaning a few thousand FFs on the ground conducting an insurgency is no small matter. I wonder how many young men from Poland, Germany, France, the Balts, England, US, and Canada might foolishly take part in martial adventurism if there isn’t an artillery storm waiting for them.

            All of this may motivate Russia to extend the conflict into other regions, keeping the kinetic situation consistent and not allowing it to convert into a “peacekeeping” or insurgency scenario. More likely, the suicidal faction of the GAE may extend the war into neighboring areas (Transnistria, Finland, Belarus) with the goal of slaughtering whites and reducing the opposition demographic (military age white males) within the GAE periphery.

          • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

            Partisans are an epiphenomena of refusal to rule. Well, it may well be that Russia has unregenerated vestiges of modernity that would hold it back.

            The notion of ‘peacekeeping’ as imagined by farces like Iraq of Afghanistan would be incomprehensible to men of more civilized times, from the likes of Alexander to von Moltke. At the end of the day, you take over some place by killing people who get in your way, and if anyone continues causing trouble, you kill them too. Job done.

            It is one notable trend of modernity, this progressive retreat down the continuum of ‘killing beings causing trouble’, all the way to not even killing mortal enemies in pitched battle (‘4th generation warfare’).

            US took over Iraq by killing people who got in their way, but then at some point they stopped killing people who got in their way. If there is some point where you stop killing people causing trouble, then you have at some point stopped short on the path to victory; the enemies never surrender, never disappear, and never stop fighting.

          • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

            Cont.

            The indiscriminacy of slaughter now is a consequence of operational decisions implicitly made without this frame in the first place; without a frame that provides for the possibility of discriminatory killing of people who need killing, then of course, killing anyone and everyone (or surrendering) is the only option left.

            Desires for short and easy war leading to long and hard wars, desires for limited war leading to total wars – a recurrent rhyme of history.

    Crudely speaking, it is not unlikely that over the last months, Russia has a) rotated enough officers and troops through the eastern front to give everyone who matters a taste of combat, and b) ground up much of the Ukraine’s best troops in the process.

    There’s a million modern takes on WWII in Russia, and there’s a strong faction that believes the correct way to deal with Hitler’s invasion was an orderly retreat from Poland and the Baltics to the “old borders” of the USSR, and there to dig in and proceed to rotate troops for a few months to give them the experience which the Wehrmacht already had but the Red Army didn’t, at the same time slowly grinding up the most experienced parts of the German army. Then, once enough Soviet officers had accumulated the needed experience, while at the same time enough experienced German officers had been taken out, begin the counter-offensive.

    I have been suspecting for a few months now that a variation of this appears to the current Russian strategy: stay in one place, advance inch by inch, while rotating its troops and grinding up the enemy forces.

    Circa 1940 the eternal anglo first got Finland to provoke a war with Soviet Russia, then Poland to provoke a war with Nazi Germany, and then set Germany against Russia. To a large extent as a psychopathic means to reset the world economy after the great depression and crush budding alternative power centers. At least that’s the way many modern Russians see events in hindsight.

    Perhaps they are now expecting for example Poland and Lithuania to be used against them in a similar manner. Boris Johnson certainly seems to be talking just like a stereotypical eternal anglo from the basement of collective Russian paranoia.

    Maybe Moscow (and Minsk) is readying itself for what it sees as an inevitable and fast-approaching clash with Poland and co.

      > Only the Slavyansk-Krematorsk urban conglomerate is left on the east. Once that falls to the Russian forces, the whole east opens up

      Cities are not an obstacle in this war. If surrounded, they will fall. Trenches full of grunts are the obstacle. Most of Mariupol fell without a fuss, and only a tiny part of it needed to be starved out, and all of Lisichansk and Severodonetsk fell without fuss. The Ukes claim that seventy percent of the buildings in Severodonetsk were hit by shellfire, but I saw social network videos of Russian troops wandering about, and there were only a handful of broken windows.

      It looks to me that the Ukrainians did not command retreat, except to save face because their troops disobeyed orders to fight, and they did not retreat, they ran away with no intention of regrouping.

      This is what one would expect to happen when one side is using a strategy of halting enemy advance by trench warfare in trenches running across the countryside. When trenches fall, most of your troops are dead or injured, and the survivors are disinclined to do the same thing all over again in the ruins of reinforced concrete buildings.

      Russians say that captured troops are the survivors of about fifty percent casualties, and that they had been several days without food. Enormous amounts of ammo, but no food. Which is about what I expected, because trench warfare, and because the roads had been cut for several days. If uncaptured troops are in the same condition, well, officers give orders likely to be obeyed, rather than the orders the capital has ordered them to give.

      The Russians claim that the Ukes are sending criminals conscripted from prison and women to the front with only a couple of days training, which is indicative of the Ukrainians simply running out of fresh troops. Maybe that is mere propaganda, but the disappearance of military resistance in and around Lisichansk and Severodonetsk is not mere propaganda.

      If one side slowly grinds its way through trenches, that is what happens to the side that got ground through. Trench warfare is hideously costly. Ukrainian strategy was to attrit Russia. In World War I it took ten thousand shells to kill one grunt. As I said before, in the Information Epoch, considerably fewer. World War I style warfare looks like it was huge mistake for Ukraine, as coup de main and blitzkrieg were a huge mistake for Russia.

      Generals always fight the previous war. Everyone is using Information Epoch weapons, but they are still using them in the tactics and strategy of before the information epoch.

      The wars of the Information Epoch will be fought with shills, entryists, and computer hackers. The destruction of advanced computerized US artillery looks like it was the first taste of information epoch warfare. Looks like the Russians penetrated the computer network of the artillery.

      The wars of the future will be cancellation, deplatforming, and demonetization with robot assassin drones. You will strike at enemy memes and leaders, rather than trenches and bunkers.

        I see 2 areas where you seem substantially off base, or maybe I don’t understand…

        >Cities don’t matter
        Logistics and infrastructure are arterially structured around the cities, meaning the cities are essentially nodes in the network. I know very little about network topology, but I do that if I hear a sysadmin tell me that nodes don’t matter, I’m not going to be connecting my personal devices to their network. @rybar has an excellent little video that illustrates the importance of certain cities, focusing on Bakhmut which is the anchor point of a defensive line in East Ukraine. Wagner is bearing down on Bakhmut, which is not a strategic accident. Cities don’t matter the same way they did in WW02, but they very much matter in terms of the nodal function they have.

        >Coup de main and Blitzkrieg we’re a huge mistake
        This may be another refinement quibble. If Spetznas had pulled off Gostomel operation, very different story. If Russia had blitzkrieg with the massive artillery barrages we are seeing now, with no thought given to civilian casualties or infrastructure damage, the war would be over. Blitzkrieg can, and will, work, but it must be GTN compliant, and used against an adversary that isn’t IEW capable or compliant. There is a shelf life on the tactic, of course. But for now, Blitzkrieg can still work.

          And it is a lot easier to cut someone’s arteries than to crack his skull.

          > If Russia had blitzkrieg with the massive artillery barrages we are seeing now, with no thought given to civilian casualties or infrastructure damage,

          The massive artillery barrages are pounding troops in trenches, primarily trenches dug to protect roads.

          When the Russians tried blitzkrieg, quite a lot of cities were devastated, but Lisichansk and Severodonetsk fell with only a few broken windows here and there. So it is the other way around. The massive artillery barrages are not damaging infrastructure or causing civilian casualties, whereas when the Russians were trying Blitzkrieg, they would frequently make it to the city outskirts, and large part of the city would wind up flattened.

          What stopped Blitzkrieg was autonomous anti tank missiles, autonomous in the sense of “point to roughly where you think the enemy tank is, fire and forget” They seldom reached close enough to the cities for inhibitions about shelling people who are culturally and linguistically Russian to matter much to the outcome of the war, and when they did reach close enough, those cities took considerable damage.

          The plan for coup de main involved mighty column of tanks that would sweep in to support the coupists. It did not arrive, though the immediate cause of the coup failure was that the Azov brigade showed up.

          In a coup de main, you try to take over the enemy command and control before they can organize resistance, but the Azov brigade resisted without being organized, and the column of tanks came to a sudden halt.

          • Jehu says:

            Coup de main had to be tried because the Russian high command had to discover which world they were living in. Were they facing:

            A Ukraine that would fight as well as the ANA? If they drew that card NOT doing a coup de main would be a huge missed opportunity to take the whole country on the cheap.

            A Ukraine that would fight, but not really all that well, probably as well as 2nd or 3rd tier Nato forces without nukes. Yeah they’ve got gay parades, but they hate Russians in the same way that Poles do.

            Or a Ukraine that will fight as well pound for pound as Russia.

            My take is they drew the 2nd card. The cards for Germany the Baltic States, Finland and so forth are still face down on the table.

              As pointed out by me and others they half assed the Coup de Main. You need an overwhelming display of power to frighten people into giving up quickly. They could have hit every Ukrainian barracks with a missile night 1, taken out the Ukrainian President, and flattened a few border towns to get the point across. Instead they played “hearts and minds” and got their pee pees slapped for it.

      • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

        Cities can be obstacles in war in the same sense trenches can be. Indeed, area destruction is not an impediment to this function either; every rubbled building is a new bunker or fighting position to utilize. The scale and non-specificity involved becomes itself amongst the chief advantages. There is a strategic utility to ‘wall towns’, things which serve as ordinary valuable uses in times of peace, and operational stumbling blocks in cases of war.

        You can start at 16, but need a letter of recommendation from your school or employer. Applicants are filtered via four broad categories: a) age, b) education, c) socio-psychological qualities, d) psycho-physical qualities.

        After finishing some of the officer schools you can choose to go and start as a lieutenant in the local FBI or police and others https://propostuplenie.ru/article/kak-postroit-kareru-voennogo/

In the past it was High School diploma or GED, ASVAB test (a quasi IQ test), (High scores go AF and Navy, low Army Marines), pass physical, lift 100# overhead. That’s all I remember for enlisted side. Officer, you need a B.S. in addition to.

        Special military operation was declared meaning Russia could only send in a fraction of the professional soldiers. The highly trained were sent in without the average grunts. Tanks without infantry screens as a result.

        Too much metal, not enough bodies. Russia has been filling the gaps with the dregs of their society/military. Many are from backwaters like central asia.

        The standard Russian grunt is pretty average and not the trailer trash. But they were largely not sent in.

        This is the first war I’ve seen where one side fights with an elite/dregs combination.

        • The Cominator says:

          Elite/dregs so like the British army in the age of the redcoats?

          • Pax Imperialis says:

            I would estimate a much higher percentage of elite. Modern military is very dependent on highly trained specialists/technical ability. Radar technicians, certain arty guys, comms, special ops types (spetsnaz), intel, etc.

            Generally a bad idea to stick some ape who can’t do basic math in arty unless his just the guy cleaning and loading.

            The initial Russian forces had all of those in large numbers, and almost no infantry, fuel truck drivers, etc. The grunt stuff.

            I don’t think the dregs ended up in the British army back then. They were more average types who were highly disciplined. It’s the navy were all the degenerates and lowlifes ended up in.

            • The Cominator says:

              Wellington did not entirely agree on the British Army.

              “A French army is composed very differently from ours. The conscription calls out a share of every class — no matter whether your son or my son — all must march; but our friends — I may say it in this room — are the very scum of the earth. People talk of their enlisting from their fine military feeling, no such thing. Some of our men enlist from having got bastard children — some for minor offences — many more for drink; but you can hardly conceive such a set brought together, and it really is wonderful that we should have made them the fine fellows they are.”

              • Pax Imperialis says:

                “many more for drink” sounds like the average Brit…

                Going to have to do more research on this. My understanding was that the British navy was fairly notorious for grabbing people off the streets, impressiveness, to forcibly conscript them. The army was nowhere close to the navy in this regard.

                Typically you don’t want to grab people anyone will miss which means you end up with lots of vagrants and drunkards and other assorted sorts from the lowest class.

                And the navy never really got discipline like the redcoats. Their behavior was atrocious when ever they reached to port.

                • The Cominator says:

                  The British navy often had very few volunteer sailors as they tended to fill the enlisted ranks via press gangs (90% of the time they were only interested in men who had experience on sailing ships so landlubbers did not generally have to worry about being “pressed”). The pressed men weren’t necessarily the types of criminals, debtors and alcoholics (a lot of people then were alcoholics by modern standards but I mean worse than normal) who supposedly tended to be the people who joined the British army.

                  Sailors tended to act badly in ports because sailing ships at the time were kind of very miserable to be on and there wasn’t ever really a break until you got into port, Navy ships tended to have a less demanding workload than merchant ships but potentially more tyrannical as merchant officers had some incentives to be civil as to not provoke a mutiny, not to flog friviously, not be bosses from hell etc… but as most British navy ships had marines this was less of an incentive in the navy. British Navy officers were typically very able and intelligent but also notoriously prickly and disagreeable men (perhaps because of intense full time technical training that generally started when they were 12 years old serving under the same strict regimen). The advantage of the navy was that the workload day to day was less (navy ships needed extra men because they needed to be able to fully man their guns in battle). One reason for the universally much more “Democratic” nature of pirate ships (the real criminal ships) is pirate crews were mostly composed of men who at one time REALLY hated life aboard more typical respectable sailing ships.

                  British army I think tended to have far more criminals and far more elite officers (the army had the purchase system the navy did not), the army did not require intense technical training for its officers except for the artillery officers (non purchase). Army officers were perhaps typically more agreeable and easygoing… they didn’t have to undergo intense years of training from the age of 12. The life of a typical soldier day to day perhaps varied wildly based on your location regiment and your sergeant and officers. In the army you also had the hope of rising to non-com and becoming above the day to day petty discipline (and in wartime the very remote hope of being raised from the ranks to an officer though there were financial costs to this and enlisted men who were offered this sometimes refused commissions). This wasn’t really a thing in the navy where the higher ranks required specific hard to learn technical skills where your hope was that your ship would capture some ship worth a lot of prize money and that maybe someday they’d let you quit the navy.

                  “No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned… a man in a jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company.” – Samuel Johnson

                • horatio says:

                  The Royal Navy could conscript at sea and around ports. The idea of this was to force skilled seamen into the navy. Often they didn’t want to join because they could make more money as merchant seamen with a lower risk of death.

                  Sometimes it probably resulted in drunks and such being conscripted out of ports, especially in wartime with big manpower shortages. But that was not the idea or the norm.

                  Conversely Britain didn’t have army conscript at that time. The closest thing to conscription to the army was people convicted of crimes (often capital crimes) being given the option to enlist instead of being sentenced. That’s one thing Wellington is referring to.

                  Generally speaking the Royal Navy was a skilled technical service while the British army was composed of aristocratic officers who bought their commissions and “scum of the earth” enlisted. Turns out that some aristocrats were good at command (Wellington was one) and many scum of the earth enlisted were good at standing in a line and reloading a musket quickly.

      • not a reactionary says:

        A lot of the people who join the military are doing it because its their best option. Recruiters have quotas to fill and don’t really care too much about medical or criminal history, and at any rate most new recruits are going to lie about those things anyway. This is true not just of the US military but possibly every military that has ever existed, most of the grunts are going to be from the lower social classes. Ofc the entire military is not this way and there has to be room for ambition and intelligence, otherwise you get rolled over.

          Which presupposes, instead of openly coming out and arguing, that the current war is suffocating Russia. On the contrary, it has cleared the air wonderfully, giving them the moral strength and moral justification to reach for memetic sovereignty. And that, I think is what you do not like about Russia and Russians.

          Russia has all the natural resources it needs. It has the smart fraction capable of utilizing them. The withdrawal of foreign businesses has opened space for the rise of its natural elite, who are moving into the economic space opened by sanctions, while its cultural public intellectuals are moving into the space opened by the naked hostility of the bearers of enemy memetics, such as yourself.

          Putin lacked the will and memetic sovereignty to implement national capitalism. Now his enemies are implementing it for him. Their cultural and economic sanctions are backfiring upon themselves.

          You are making valid arguments that deserve a response, but you are using them to smuggle in invalid presuppositions, that you refuse to argue or defend when they are attacked, because you know perfectly well they are indefensible.

    I guess Russia is letting Ukrainians retreat from the cities rather than force a full encirclement to avoid lots of urban combat.
    Battle for the Seversk-Soledar-Bakhmut defensive line coming up next.

    • jim says:

      The Ukrainians are able to retreat from the city, but the roads are cut, and they have to retreat cross country over open farmland, which is exceedingly dangerous. I suspect that they are melting away into the civilian population – those of them that are still alive. When defensive trenchworks are taken, they are generally taken over the dead bodies of the people in the trenches, who found that even though staying in their trench was dangerous, leaving it to run away was even more dangerous.

      In this kind of war, it is likely that those that managed to make it out alive are not too keen on continuing to fight.

      What may well have happened is that in some of the defensive works, everyone was killed, and the Russians simply moved forward over the corpses. In other defensive works, troops were told to retreat because their trenches had been bypassed, and once they were able to leave their trenches, were disinclined to do it all over again.

      Under the circumstances I think it likely the Ukrainian troops are not retreating, but rather vanishing. Ukrainian policy is to make Russians pay a high price for every advance, and leave cities in rubble when they are finally lost. This policy was simply not carried out in Lisichansk and Severodonetsk. They say they retreated, but I think that in fact orders were given to fight on until the city was utterly destroyed, and officers failed to transmit those orders, knowing there was little prospect of obedience, and finding there were not many grunts around to listen. That rather than retreating or fighting, officers and men that failed to make themselves scarce just stood around waiting.

      LUGANSK, June 27. /TASS/

      Ukrainian groups of forces that remain in Lisichansk and Severodonetsk have been killing foreign mercenaries, a source close to the Lugansk People’s Republic’s militia told TASS on Sunday.

      “Ukrainian militants have been ordered to kill foreign instructors in Lisichansk and Severodonetsk as the latter have certain information about the activity of foreign special services in Donbass so that they do not get captured and disclose this information,” the source said.

      Sounds like an army that has no intention of retreating nor fighting.

      According the Russians, the retreating troops took piles of stuff looted from shops and apartments, and left behind piles of anti tank weapons and suchlike. Sounds they are not planning to regroup. Sounds like they intend to keep going until they reach their homes.

      • Severian says:

        There are Russian reports of Ukranians already starting to retreat from Seversk after some fighting so you might be on to something.

        • jim says:

          Severs’k is only fifteen miles from Lisichansk, and it is likely that most of the workers used to commute by rail to Lisichansk. And are hoping to resume doing so shortly. They likely had a horde of deserters pass through.

          One of the roads between Severs’k and Western Ukraine is still open, or was open a short time ago. Ukraine still has, or very recently had, the capacity to pour in fresh cannon fodder to keep Russian artillery busy. Retreat from Severs’k would be confirmation of RT reports that Ukraine is scraping the bottom of the barrel for cannon fodder, and would suggest that they are running out of fresh scrapings.

          In the Information Epoch, attrition runs considerably faster.

          If this is what is happening, looks like the Jews running Ukraine decided to fight to the last Goy, and have now done so.

          Ukraine blocked Russian advance by putting piles of cannon fodder in the way. This is starting to look like it may well be an unsustainable strategy.

    “Families typically kept all their healthy boys and their oldest healthy girl. Other daughters were left to die as infants.

          The Dowry owed by the Father of the bride to the Husband really screwed the incentives in regards to sparing the lives of daughters or rendering poor girls unmarriable :

          >”The Confucian attitude towards female infanticide was conflicted. By placing value on age over youth, Confucian filial piety lessened the value of children. The Confucian emphasis on the family led to increasing dowries which in turn led to a girl being far more expensive to raise than a boy, causing families to feel they could not afford as many daughters. The Confucian custom of keeping the male within the family meant that the money spent on a daughter’s upbringing along with the dowry would be lost when she married, and as such girls were called “money-losing merchandise”. Conversely the Confucian belief of Ren led Confucian intellectuals to support the idea that female infanticide was wrong and that the practice would upset the balance between yin and yang.”

          >”for poorer families in rural regions female infanticide and gender selective abortion is attributed to the fear of being unable to raise a suitable dowry and then being socially ostracized”

            Bride price also appears to be the ancient Aryan tradition as well. Sounds like dowries were a way to give and inheritance to girls as well which lead to all sorts of dysfunction with poorer people who didn’t have much to give.

      I read the Book “Triumph of Christianity” by Rodney Stark. The info he got indicates that Christians had quite a few teen marriages about 20% or a few percentage more.
      even as the majority of marriages is over 18 years of age.

      Due to the shortage of women because of abortion. surviving girls were married at 12. And even younger unions contrary to nature among the Pagans.

          The American tendency to base positions and observations on the exception side of the equation is so annoying. Laws are made with the ultra minority of offenders in mind, ignoring the impact on the vast majority of normals. To say that a woman getting married off at 16, 17, 18 is not young marriage is as fucking dumb as neo-paganism. Are there possible instances where a 13, 14, 15 should be married off? Yes, of course. But it’s probably strategic if positive and tactical if negative. Big, healthy families in well functioning societies would probably have a huge percentage of their daughters becoming wives in the 16-19 window.

          Agreed. I am just quoting the stats. And with what is acceptable among early Christians.

    • Neofugue says:

      Aborting female children, providing [monastic vocations] for widows, and euthanizing disabled people is not the flex you think it is.

      Regarding early marriage, we know from primary sources that Byzantine princess Anna Komnene married at 13 and her mother Irene Doukiana married at 11, thus Myers is a liar and a fraud. Christians never had a problem with early marriage until the Whigs and their ilk began exerting their power during the latter half of the nineteenth century; however, this does not mean that women marrying at 16 or even 19 years of age is a bad thing so long as they are still virgins.

      This may raise some contention, but I do not believe that killing illegitimate children is the necessary response to female immorality. Bastards should be given off to orphanages or sold into slavery, and divorce plus some form of extreme punishment should follow if the mother of the child was married or betrothed at the time, but killing babies on account of the sins of their mothers creates subsequent ethical concerns. That being said, cuckolding is a sensitive matter and should be handled by the offended husband. If he wishes to kill the bastard, that is his decision.

      To give Pagans the benefit of the doubt, Myers’ comments on them may be just as false as his comments on Christians. Given human nature, female infanticide was most likely uncommon among most Roman Pagans, just as given the decadence of high and late Rome, it is likely that most Roman Pagans did not practice early marriage.

        Bastards should be treated humanely if not aborted before “quickening” (ie when I would draw the line at abortion per the old common law, abortion being the woman’s owners right to choose). In cases of paternity fraud discovered later the husband can kill the wife but the kid he should have to give away…

        I do not believe the natural law nor generally the laws of the old Testament sanctions the shedding of innocent blood for this… even if the animalistic urge to do out of hurt pride is there. I believe in revenge for all sorts of things like say every leftist on the planet… but they did stuff themselves that makes them fully deserve death.

        Shedding innocent blood to deter the guilty is perhaps a regrettable necessity to deter terroristic religious fanatics and spare many more innocent lives than it saves but its not something I could see sanctioning for far more mundane crimes that can generally be well deterred by punishing the perpatrators. Also violent men inclined to do this sort of thing are probably far less likely to get cucked anyway…

        • Red says:

          Bastards are killed because it prevents future bastards. We act in this manner because it’s right and just for the propagation of our kin and to preserve the faithfulness of our women as GNON commands. Human life does not intrinsically have value, what has value is your kin and the value that humans produce. Bastards almost always produce negative value and letting one live where your child should been born is an abomination before GNON.

Should we limit family size to inheritance metrics? Leftist backdoor, obviously. We, assuming the position of governance, need to stay out of it. If a woman has a bastard fucked into her, her owner must decide what is to happen. Similarly, if a particular war or crisis causes a wave of fatherless children, the community needs a better response than “If bastard, then terminate.”

                  Sure but William was raised by his father in his father’s court. We’re not talking about demon spawn here. I’ve known a lot of bastards who never knew their fathers and all of who failed in life and became net drains on everyone. It’s the lack of having father that’s the primary problem in most cases.

                  Babies being adopted by new parents works somewhat if done at near birth and if the children are not told, but the results are inferior to natural children. Women will happily whore themselves out to every alpha in their path if they know that offspring will be cared for and raised by cuck fathers.

                  Similarly, if a particular war or crisis causes a wave of fatherless children, the community needs a better response than “If bastard, then terminate.”

                  Expulsion was the common practice. A few bastards are able to make something of themselves but it’s rare. A bastard who makes trouble on the other hand tended to end up dead and no one cared.

                  >Something like Janissaries for example…

                  Random Demon spawn kids are unlikely to produce high quality warriors. If that sort of model worked the Turks would have take the street urchins bastards from their cities instead of capturing true born children from their villages.

                  Obvious coherence with divine law is the matter again of contention.

                  It’s not women’s fault that they like to fuck Alpha’s or try to get themselves raped. I don’t blame women for their behavior because they can’t fucking help it. Punishment is about discouraging bad behavior or by removing uncivilized traits from the genepool. You do what you can to prevent the crime happening, but when it does happen there has to be punishment to discourage it from happening again.

                  Although elsewhere there is the Man who takes up the Job of Vengeance as the “Avenger of Blood” which necessitates the refuge cities. So “Private violence” in this regard is Officially sanctioned by God the King of Israel at that time.

                  But I think as Christians in the New Covenant. Private avenging violence outside of the Authority of the Local Magistrate is forbidden:

                  Romans 12:19
                  19Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

                  But then the local Magistrate is God’s instrument of Wrath(Romans 13):

                  “1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God. 2Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

                  3For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Then do what is right, and you will have his approval. 4For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer.”

                  If the Magistrate command’s us to defy God. We already have the example in the Book of Acts what is to be done(Acts 5:28-29).

                  “28“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.” 29But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men. ”

                  I still affirm that the Hierarchy is God>Civil Authorities. When one must conflict with the other.

                  “It says “leave it to God”. It does not say leave it to the proper authorities.”

                  It says that to leave it to God is to leave it to the proper Authorities and other supernatural instruments God uses to execute his wrath. You think its a coincidence they are a few verses apart addressing the same issue of Avenging Evil.

                  Its synonymous. Of course an unjust Magistrate is to be replaced with a Just Magistrate. But it still is that leaving Vengeance in God’s hands also involves leaving it to the proper Authorities.

                  As for the shill test I will affirm against in this comment:

                  “Jesus Christ is Lord, born in Bethlehem, died at Jerusalem, and is, is from before the beginning of the world. Fully God and fully man. God is three and God is one.”.

                  This surely presupposes that the civil authorities are in fact doing the job.

                  And it does not in fact say leave it to the civil authorities. It says obey the civil authorities.

                  And if their commands are wickedness?

                  A little while ago, someone stronger than I climbed my wall, came onto my land, and beat me up. Covered in my own blood, and dripping blood everywhere, I fled into my house, where hanging on the wall is an array of legal lethal weapons. He remained in my yard, giving my wife a hard time. If I called the police, then when they eventually showed up after half an hour or so, all they would do, assuming nothing worse had happened to me or my wife over the next half hour or so, is politely ask him to leave, assuming he was still there in half an hour or so. He would be back soon enough to do it again.

                  What then should a man do under these circumstances?

                  Similarly, having a family and children requires acts forbidden by the civil authorities. Are Christians therefore to not have families and children?

                  Having forbidden oil production, the civil authorities are now escalating to forbidding food production. Are Christians required to comply?

                  I agree with what you said. That’s why I said an unjust Magistrate is to be replaced by a Just One. Who does God’s will in carrying out his Wrath.

                  And if the Civil Authorities requires us to disobey God. God takes precedence. As I cited which happened in the Book of Acts.

                  If we are weak we start like David. Dancing around their attempts to crush us. Until the Unjust Power can be replaced.

                  I think an intermediate stage may look a bit like the “tyranny of the cousins”. Although I would prefer that as much as the institutional expertise of due process of pinning down the guilty be retained until the Civil Authorities are changed.

                  It was obviously some concoction that the priests knew of that GENERALLY caused miscarriage but the rate was not 100%, if it failed the baby was to be deemed legitimate as God had decided in its favor (whether it really was or not).

                  You and Cominator are not Christians so the following does not apply to you, but if a Christian argued for abortion implying that holy water is used as an abortion pill in Numbers 5, I would have him either burned at the stake or sent to a labor camp in Alaska immediately.

                  The miscarriage rate with abortion pills is never 100%.

                  > Cominator advocating the killing of bastards, it is asserting that Holy Water induces abortions

                  It was not holy water. It was holy water with a little something extra.

                  The intent of that little something extra was to induce a miscarriage, and the intent of the holy water is that if the baby was the husbands, and his suspicions ill founded, she would not miscarry.

                  Maybe the holy water worked. The medical profession would say placebo effect, but I have seen some extraordinarily and mysteriously powerful placebo effects. But whether it worked or not, I think it highly likely that that something extra worked, and probably not primarily through placebo effect. Biologically active compounds, especially those with harmful effects, are usually bitter, because we have receptors tuned to stop us from eating toxic foods, and whole lot of plants develop a range of toxins to kill creatures that eat stuff they do not want eaten. In nature, when one is keeping an eye out for stuff that might be edible, because due to an error in navigation and poor planning one has been wandering in the wilderness for three days without food, it is mighty hard to find stuff that is not poisonous. Most of our root vegetables were poisonous without careful and elaborate preparation, until over a very long time, we bred that out of them. Still have not totally bred it out of potatoes, because polypoidy makes it hard to completely eliminate a trait – they have a massively redundant genome.

                  Ivermectin is one of an enormous number of broad spectrum poisons developed by immobile organisms against thing that eat them, It kills a remarkably wide range of things, while being reasonably harmless to most mammals. Fairly deadly to most other critters. Most stationary living things in nature that you can bite into are poisonous, and doubtless quite a few of those poisons are more toxic to infants in the womb than they are to adults, though probably you would be hard put to find something deadly to one and harmless to the other.

                  You’ve missed the entire context of the passage: The abortion is to put his jealous mind at rest when he suspects but can’t prove adultery. If the baby is fine then it was his child and he can stop worrying about it. If the baby is aborted then his wife is about to end up dead as well.

                  The unmentioned context is that If he caught her in the act then she and the baby would be dead as his hands. That’s normal and natural and not murder. You keep trying to invent time based rules when the only rules that manner are in the context of a man’s ownership of his wife and children.

                  The problem with abortion is the US is that it’s a religious sacrament to Moloch. It should be banned on the basis of demon worship outside of the case of rape where a husband request the child be aborted.

                  Water that’s been turned bitter by adding something to it isn’t holy water any more, it’s bitter watters the same when when you ad some shit to wine, it’s no longer wine. You’re being intentionally stupid because you don’t want to deal with the reality of what’s going on in this passage: The priest is inducing an abortion because her husband thinks she might have been unfaithful.

                  Communion wine is still holy even if one defiles it with poison; this was one of the main arguments against Donatism.

                  Saint John of Shanghai and San Francisco had many enemies, one of them who poisoned his communion wine, of which upon drinking he managed to spit out before the poison consumed him. Our interpretation of the event is that the Holy Spirit protected St. John from the poison.

                  Holy water is still holy even if dust from the floor is put inside of it. The idea is, if she is innocent, God through the holy water will protect her from the dust; if she is not, the holy water will not work and the dust will render her ill. It is not an abortion, it is a test.

                  First, the Orthodox Church does not need a council on everything. I do not need a council on mistreating orphans to know that mistreating orphans is wrong. I do know, however, that we have many saints who speak against the practice of abortion and we have many decrees against the practice, so I speak on behalf of the church on this matter.

                  Second, all observation is interpreted upon a framework of understanding based on his knowledge and past experiences. Every heretic, demon worshiper, etc. claims his understanding is based on “pure reason” or some sort of “objectivity,” see below:

                  Agreed because its clear from plain reason its wrong. But I ask is it clear from plain reason that?

                  1) That this does NOT refer to an induced miscarriage with some concoction known to the Levites

                  2) That early term abortion before quickening or fetal viability is wrong

                  I do say that on the 1st point #1 appears from plain reason to be water + something. Probably the “dust” and “paper” could be herbs of some kind…

                  On the second point reasonable people have disagreed, Anglo Saxon common law allowed for it before quickening.

                  I DO agree that its wrong to abort late or to kill bastard children after birth, this is clear from plain reason and there is NOTHING in the law that allows for after birth killings based on stuff the mother did. Given that murder is a severe crime and sin and the exceptions that allowed for righteous killing (and there are numerous ones) are enumerated in painstaking detail within the law its very wrong to read that any such right exists.

                  Murder is unlawful killing. Killing a bastard who your wife cucked on you isn’t unlawful killing, it’s the natural outcome of such an event. Much like killing your wife and her lover if you catch them in bed.

                  The law exists to compliment natural law in cases where natural law can result in conflicts between family units or where men have a propensity to ignore natural law or as a more productive behavior pattern(IE washing). In the case of a bastard it has no family to defend and thus is solely handled by the patriarch.

                  Let me make this even more pointed: Parents are allowed to kill their children in the Old Testament. They own their children and there were cases where they killed them without penalty. Now its generally very counter productive to kill your own children and it’s pretty fucking rare.

                  About 15 years ago a father caught his 13 year old boy raping a 6 year boy in an empty lot. He beat his son to death right then and there. The jury refused to convict him. Natural law dictates that the father owns his children and despite the progressive programming on a basic level we all understand it to be true.

                  Com you seem intent in living in a shitty progressive world where 10,000 laws are designed to control everyone’s behavior. The rest of us want to return to natural law with limited religious law complimenting it.

                • The Cominator says:

                  “Let me make this even more pointed: Parents are allowed to kill their children in the Old Testament.”

                  You had to have good cause and the elders have to give the okay, you couldn’t just beat them to death in a fit of drunken rage even in the OT you’d be executed for murder for that. They are then to be stoned by the assembly. Furthermore in designating the kid a bastard you deny its your child for it is not. So the solution is to put it out of the house. Unlimited rights to kill your children only existed beyond ancient antiquity in China and Japan. In Rome they theoretically existed for a long time but unless you exposed them right away (birth defects) it didn’t exist in practice entirely because killing family members without cause would severely hurt your dignitas (meaning your friends patrons and clients both would drop you and your life was over). Even then the Roman form of infanticide was exposure, as exposed infants could be saved and they often were by Christians… or slavers.

                  I like natural law but when it comes to killing particularly killing someone who didn’t do anything themselves… gotta draw a hard line. You mention the case of a father beating his kid to death for being a gay kiddie rapist I doubt that jury would have been so charitable if you killed your young son or daughter because lets say you get in a fight with your wife that goes to 100 she laughs at you in female scorn says the kid isn’t yours and you not only end up killing your wife (maybe you’d get away with that) but you then go down the hall to kill the kid.

                  Give them to the orphanage, beating the kid to death for what his mother did perhaps may feel right in the moment… but even if its legal you probably aren’t going to feel too good about having done it when you are old and preparing to meet God. Its not like killing leftists or your bitch evil wife…

                  You’re looking at things from a progressive perspective where all normal human reactions must be suppressed in favor of the law dealing with all the details, which is insanity.

                  If there was a good reason to suppress this natural instinct then there would be something in the law modifying this behavior. There isn’t. Ergo natural law should take it’s course and the bastard will be killed by the offended husband.

        >”The Confucian attitude towards female infanticide was conflicted. By placing value on age over youth, Confucian filial piety lessened the value of children. The Confucian emphasis on the family led to increasing dowries which in turn led to a girl being far more expensive to raise than a boy, causing families to feel they could not afford as many daughters. The Confucian custom of keeping the male within the family meant that the money spent on a daughter’s upbringing along with the dowry would be lost when she married, and as such girls were called “money-losing merchandise”. Conversely the Confucian belief of Ren led Confucian intellectuals to support the idea that female infanticide was wrong and that the practice would upset the balance between yin and yang.”

        A Bride Price that Ancient Israel had is a far better incentive against abortion and infanticide at least in its sex-biased form. By making daughters far less of a financial liability that Dowries make them.

        If Bastards grow up to be criminals. Then the Capital Punishment takes care of that adequately.

        But I think there is good reason why God forbade infanticide/abortion. Because it also somehow curses the Country where the murder is done.

        The blood of the innocent cries out for vengeance.

          God forbid the sacrifice of their children because the ritual murder of children has proven to disastrous long term despite the sort of sick unity and power that behavior grants. Though I note that Jephthah burned his own daughter to God and there’s suggestive textual evidence that sacrificing first born daughters used to be a common practice for the Hebs. I personally think that the binding of Issac was written in at a later date to purge the practice entirely as Judaism separated itself from Baal worship.

          God didn’t outlaw the killing of bastards for just cause. When a bastard is beaten to death for stealing no one would give a fuck.

            I’d like to make an observation on your framing of this issue that can easily be interpreted as a remonstration or holier-than-thou posturing, and it isn’t, this is in good faith, but you’ll have to make the decision to believe that, or not.

            What was productive about the tenor of your comments in the Adulterous Fruit discourse? Was it necessary to be so coarse and insulting? I happen to agree with you on the technical side, but I also happen to be the type of man and father that would put away the adulterous wife, keep the bastard, and take up a new wife. Is this the optimum path? No, it is fraught with peril and challenges. But I like kids, I want as many of them as possible, and if some are the fruit of my loins then I am GNON compliant, so if others are the fruit of someone else’s mistakes and I raise the little accidents to be dangerous, capable men, I am based compliant. I have a weakness for orphans, and bastards are spiritual orphans. What another man does with his problems is none of my business, but if feckless or incapable fathers can’t handle the kids God gives them, I am happy to gain advantage from their incapacity. My wife and I would be the type to collect a few bastards if we could because we need farmhands and we like raising kids. Would this be me promoting evil?

            You are free to insult and attack while you respond, and your technical grasp and theoretical underpinning is excellent in my estimation. I just don’t see the utility in good men insulting each other while they disagree on technical points. “Carry the one, douchebag” and “As usual, your terrible genetics and overwhelming stupidity has forced you to disregard the remainder” are roughly the same message, but one is teasing and the other is an attack. Maybe I’m concern trolling. If so, just ignore me.

      • jim says:

        That is a big question, because the truth is both. The centralized model is Rothschilds paranoia, a shill meme about an all powerful conspiracy. The decentralized model is its lie about itself, spontaneously arising from the ground up. We have a messy, complicated and unclear truth, midway between two bold and flagrant lies.

        Haha no offense taken thanks Com.

        Yeah I was going to say something similar to Jim’s comment. Probably a good idea, but not sure how to address the question. Nrx never really settled on a consensus. Moldbug said, and still says, decentralized. Spandrell said something like: many conspiracies vying for power, rarely a single one stays in power for too long. Jim leans most towards centralized, eg with his comment on how it was recently decided by the cathedral that elections no longer matter. Although his comment above suggests he has somewhat stepped off the gas pedal.

        • jim says:

          My position has remain unchanged since shortly after the fall of Phnom Penh. Long before the term “Cathedral” was coined, I observed every academic everywhere in the entire western hegemony turn universally and uniformly on a topic on which they had passionate opinions, without one peep of disagreement anywhere.

          The truth is complex, messy, and imperfectly revealed, so in any one statement I will speak on one aspect of what is revealed, and in another on a different aspect.

          When the worshipers of the Mighty and Awesome Covid Demon were high in the saddle, they could turn almost every doctor everywhere on a dime, and any doctor who did not turn was apt to find himself with a medical malpractice investigation (the investigation is itself the punishment, not the finding, if any, which there probably will not be.)

I suspect they are very very invisible to people who aren’t in the highest levels of the visible elite (the Jesuits are mostly invisible they haven’t tipped their hand like this in a LONG time as Jesuit conspiracy theories were very widespread in the late 18th and 19th centuries). I suspect the real elite could be found if some um recreational mcdentistry was practiced on enough high level Jesuits for long enough (no matter whether they’ve had 17 years of conditioning) you could get them to reveal something about the highest levels. I do not believe anyone is tough enough or conditioned enough to stand up to a very long period of recreational mcdentistry.

            Darwin’s English Wikipedia page indeed calls the proposition that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor Darwin’s proposition. The German page does not. Darwin’s German Wikipedia page also links to the earlier evolution theory of Lamarck.

            If I remember correctly, you cited Darwin’s and Lamarck’s treatment by modern writers as evidence for central control of every university everywhere in the Western hegemony. If there is such control it does not even control German Wikipedia pages.

            I doubt your theory claim that every academic everywhere in the entire western hegemony turned universally and uniformly.

            Maybe there is some central control, but if so it is rather weak. Schooling fish needs no central control for uniform, collective behavior

        • Well, priestly power always tends to have competing conspiracies. There is no single authority deciding the consensus as priests tend to cluster into different factions each viewing the other with distrust. But the way it works is that different factions sometimes converge on a particular consensus which is then pushed (e.g covid) which gives the impression of centralized authority and coordination but again it is rare that such consensus remains stable.

          Since there are always different factions, there will always be narratives pushed by each faction. And of course you have vertical holiness spiraling within factions and horizontal holiness competing between them.

        • jim says:

          Christendom, as interpreted in the peace of westphalia, is the Christian nations in peace of Westphalia with each other.

          From Constantine to the great schism, Christianity was one faith, with the emperor (and sometimes there was an oversupply emperors, one East, one west, and sometimes more) appointing the bishops. Eastern and Western empires were one faith, and percieved themselves a single entity, despite frequent conflicts, which sometimes came to outright war, but it was war within, not war without outsiders.

          And then it was two faiths, and a multitude of empires, Kingdoms, principates, and Lords owing only the slightest allegiance to distant Kings, but still Christendom.

          And then, the holy wars of the sixteenth century, which were resolved in the peace of Westphalia, but it was Christendom before the holy wars, and Christendom after.

          Alfred did not think he was a Christian empire. He thought he was restoring the unity of the Angles and Saxons after centuries of bloody chaos, but he thought himself part of Christendom, though he gave no allegiance to distant emperors, and appointed his own Bishops paying little heed to the distant Christian hierarchy in Constantinople.

          When Alfred the great issued his code of laws, the preamble was Moses the lawgiver, followed by a lengthy quotation from the apostles which has generally been reasonably interpreted as authorizing those in authority to apply the spirit and intent of biblical law according to the circumstances of the times and the history, spirit, and culture of their people, while cheerfully disregarding the letter of biblical law. So considered himself commanded by God to give God’s law to his people, as appropriate for the place, people, and time. Not the law of the empire centered in Constantinople, and not the law of the religious hierarchy in Constantinople.

        • Niiiidriveevof says:

          Christendom is another name for the Catholic Church itself, during the time when civil society was wholly within it. Christendom was that country & people which had Catholicism as its civic religion. History reads different when you understand this. Even if you do not agree with it, you must understand that others did and it guided their actions:

          https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03699b.htm (written in 1908)

          It had one head in the pope and another in the emperor, and both clerical and lay hierarchies were inextricable and complementary parts of it. It violently suppressed heresies while it lived, and of course it did not survive the Protestant revolt, except marginally, because those heresies were nurtured precisely as a means to the end of destroying the unity of Christendom for the sake of the power of the Protestant princes and their traitorous allies.

          The Spanish reactionaries call that time the birth of Europe. “Europe” is, to them, 400 years of arrogant heretical manmade replacements for the unity of Christendom. The unity of Christendom meant a high level of trust and cooperation across the peoples that are now called European. But faith diminished in the time immediately before the Protestant revolt, and more men got away with defecting for private advantage (e.g. Franco-Ottoman alliance). And so men began to doubt that the faith could still serve to keep the peace, which became a preference cascade. Ever since then we have been trying to invent other principles of unity that could replace the faith, of which romantic nationalism failed less than others, but all failed. Presently obedience to the polygon is the principle of unity. The replacements get stupider and more evil, and cooperate/cooperate has been sliding further into defect/defect ever since Protestantism ended Christendom.

          The “peace” of Westphalia was the epitaph of Christendom and it ensured the continuation of the centrifugal violence. It was negotiation with terrorists. The whole problem socially was that faith was weakening, but instead of destroying the defectors like we had been doing for 1000 years, we awarded them with the right to defect, and they have been doing it ever since, giving us the Enlightenment, the Revolution, communism, and the Gae. There is no replacement for the Catholic faith as a principle for unity. This should not surprise anyone since it was established personally by God, walking on earth, on the rock of Peter.

          • jim says:

            > Christendom is another name for the Catholic Church itself, during the time when civil society was wholly within it.

            This is a non standard and idiosyncratic use of the term “Catholic”, that the Bishop of Rome has been industriously pushing for seven centuries. It is false consensus, which is not allowed on this blog, and is an attack against the rectification of names, which is not a permitted method of argument on this blog, and if you keep using this method of argument, you are going to be censored (again)

            The reason everyone says “Roman Catholic” rather than Catholic, and has been saying it for nine centuries is that this lie never got a whole lot of traction, despite being industriously pushed with rivers of blood.

            > History reads different when you understand this

            History makes no sense if you read it using words that have a lie at their core, and debate with people who insist on using words that are lies is unfruitful.

            In particular, a whole lot of bloodshed makes no sense if one reads history with this lie at its core. Tell us why the Holy Roman Emperor had Rome sacked.

            In order to have fruitful discussion, it is necessary to employ words with widely shared meanings, and centuries of bloodshed and mountains of corpses tell us this meaning is not a shared meaning.

            It is perfectly legitimate and proper for a community to use words with special meanings that are well understood within the community, but it is indicative of wicked people with evil intent to try to persuade by shilling this meaning outside their community. If you are trying to persuade by honest means, rather than by lies, you use words with meanings that are standard among those you are trying to persuade, or clarify “that by this word, we mean …”, explicitly acknowledging that those you seek to persuade use the word otherwise. When you just use the word without clarification, it is argument by false consensus. And the Roman Catholic Church has been using this illegitimate method of debate for seven centuries.

            • Niiiidriveevof says:

Nevertheless, if you look again at my first paragraph, you’ll see that I politely conditioned my language, well aware that I was proposing meanings nonstandard among my audience, suggesting you all at least suspend some disbelief for the sake of understanding the minds of others, and see for yourself if the meanings I propose cut things at the joints or have some explanatory power.

              That said, the substance of my point is not changed if I say “Roman Catholic,” so that’s what I’ll freely do if I remember to. There hasn’t been any other universal church except the one. I can even call it the Popish church if you insist.

              > >Tell us why the Holy Roman Emperor had Rome sacked.

              I have only read a little bit about the time of Charles V. I suppose there are two possible explanations. One, the emperor lost control over the mercenary force for lack of pay, and they did as armies are known to do, sacking the nearest city to get some. Somewhat like Innocent and the Fourth Crusade. The emperor did not intend the sacking and is liable for negligence at most. Two, it was a St. Thomas Becket situation, the emperor was tired of some kind of papal interference – perhaps the pope was pressuring him to continue to make war rather than compromise, and the emperor deliberately cut the army loose hoping they would weaken the pope’s position.

              Based on my vague memory of reciprocally friendly relations between the pope and Charles V through the years, I see more reason to believe option one. I expect that, if I were to research, I would find plenty of evidence that Charles V believed in the relation of church and civil power that I have described, and that he was not motivated by establishing Westphalian sovereignty, though of course it’s hard to know these things with much certainty. The bare fact of the sack of Rome, in isolation, is of course evidence in your favor. The issue with Charles V, by my memory, is that he was thinking in years rather than centuries; he didn’t realize how crucial it was for his house & his people that he bleed them even drier than he did to restore religious unity in Christendom. We might say the same about Charles II or any other reactionary monarch that still did not do enough against their enemies.

              The problem is that you judge religion exclusively by human nature. If you do that, the proposition that the clerical hierarchy should be totally subordinate to (or better, identical with) the civil hierarchy is much more reasonable, maybe even correct (though I would still argue that natural law requires a unified temporal hierarchy over all men). If that, then the king should either be the high priest, or perhaps appoint the high priest. But the supernatural end of man is to go to heaven, and this is not part of the natural law. If the Roman Catholic religion brings men to heaven, this is greater than its natural benefits, without abolishing them. It’s greater than the purpose of the civil power too. Therefore, if the two powers are distributed to different men, then of course the clerical power will have to take precedence where the jurisdictions would otherwise overlap.

              OK, those are the principles – the other important point is that in Christendom’s actual history, its leaders *believed* that kings sometimes ought to defer to bishops, NOT because the bishops weren’t yet defeated in the Bodinian struggle, but because bishops have authority over the means of going to heaven, and kings don’t. You won’t understand European history if you think everything is always mechanical Bodinian struggle, no more than you’ll understand a healthy family if you analyze it like a Marxist thinking about power struggles. The religion that made Europe great was a religion that said kings must sometimes submit to the judgment of bishops, and to the judgment of the head of bishops in Rome. Without the integration of the clergy in society in the historical way, nothing would have held the peoples of Europe together, they would be utterly unrecognizable, and almost certainly Muslim, and the increasing bloodshed of the last 400 years would have continued directly from the pagan bloodshed of the time before.

              So, am I wicked, or am I trying to persuade by honest means? I don’t post often but for God’s sake I would have thought I’d proven bona fides by now. I may have said before that I’m just as frustrated that other Roman Catholics aren’t more Jimian as I am that Jimians aren’t more Roman Catholic, and I spend a lot more time shilling for Jim to the Church than the other way around, because it’s easier and I’ve had more success with it.

                > I defend a powerful civilization which gave birth to most of the good things in the powerful civilization that you defend. Of course I am going to use its language.

                The words you are using are lies, created to serve the Bishop of Rome’s covetous designs upon what is Caesar’s.

                In its language, a unitary Church with all power concentrated in a single Roman Bishop, and a unitary Holy Roman Empire ruled by a Holy Roman Emperor under the Pope, is normal and normative.

                But it is not normal. It has never once existed in all of history, hence the joke that the Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire.

                And it is not normative, and never has been normative, for throughout all of history, attempts to make it normative have always resulted in rivers of blood and mountains of corpses in the ashes of cities.

                When the Empire was politically and militarily united under a strong Sovereign, he appointed several Bishops for Rome, none of them clearly pre-eminent, and soon after that the Church was ruled from Constantinople (Byzantium), not Rome. And pretty soon it was not ruled at all by a single Emperor, and the Church was never at any time ruled by a single Bishop located in Rome.

                From Charles’ the Hammer to most of the tenth century, the Emperor (or Emperors, there tended to be an oversupply of emperors) appointed his Bishops, the Bishop of Rome among them, but being physically close the the Emperor (or one of them) tended to count for more than being in Rome, and the Pope was merely the Bishop of Rome. Byzantium/Constantinople was still pre-eminent – notice that today’s Roman Catholic Bible is based on Greek texts curated in Byzantium, not in Rome.

                The emperor’s vassal Kings tended to be not very much vassals, and they appointed their own Bishops, and often their vassal Lords, who similarly were not very much vassals, tended to do likewise.

                The Church was one universal Catholic Church, not in that it was ruled by a single Bishop located in Rome, not in that it was at any time in in its history as a state Church ruled by a single Bishop located in Rome, but in that the Bishops ruled collectively and collegially. King Alfred the great was part of Christendom, and part of the Universal Catholic Church, and his unification of England was part of the military expansion of Christendom at the expense of pagans and paganism, but he appointed his own Bishops, who were normally married men with children, and he answered to God, not to whichever emperor or emperors were in Germany and/or Byzantium

                > Man, we WERE the consensus!

                Roman Catholicism was never the consensus of a state religion of empire. From Constantine’s heirs to the eleventh century, the consensus, in so far as the consensus collegially decided by the Bishops was decided in one physical place, that physical place was Byzantium.

                Alfred’s bishops took orders from Alfred, not the Pope, and Alfred took orders from God, not the emperor (and there was a frequent oversupply of emperors). Still one universal Catholic Church, but because of collegial governance, not because of the Bishop of Rome.

                From the eleventh century to the protestant reformation, Roman Catholicism was theoretically the consensus of the Holy Roman Empire, the state religion of the empire in the west, and Roman Catholicism was theoretically the sovereign will of the Pope, rather than collegial, but the Holy Roman Empire was, as the saying goes, not holy, not roman, and not an empire. Kinglets continued to appoint their own bishops, and frequently came to blows. The Pope frequently announced his absolute and unitary power, which tended to be ignored in actual practice. The Church of the western empire was not ruled collegially, except for some crises caused by an oversupply of Popes, it was theoretically ruled centrally from Rome by the Bishop of Rome, but, like the empire itself, was not much ruled at all. The empire was not an empire.

                And the earthly ambitions of the Pope eventually led to the Holy Roman Emperor and the Pope coming to blows.

                > The issue with Charles V, by my memory, is that he was thinking in years rather than centuries; he didn’t realize how crucial it was for his house & his people that he bleed them even drier than he did to restore religious unity in Christendom.

                Since Charles V found himself, to his considerable dismay and anger, at war with Pope Clement, would it have restored religious unity in Christendom?

                The “unity” that endless Popes were endlessly trying to “restore” never existed. The unity that actually existed was always collegial rule by bishops, and attempts to “restore” unity always bore, in less extreme form, the same evil fruits as they bore for Pope Clement and Charles V.

                Unitary Church governance had problems from day one, leading to the Pope excommunicating Byzantium shortly afterwards, and these problems have continued all the way to the present. The Protestant Reformation was just another crisis of endless crises.

                > The bare fact of the sack of Rome, in isolation

                But within your language and your frame, you are unable to see it except in isolation.

                You are viewing historical events through language that is a lie, and this lie prevents history as you see it from making any sense to you.

                Charles V faced the same problem with Papal authority as Henry the eighth, which problem he solved by sacking Rome. But which solution made all the princes even less likely to accept Papal authority, so they proceeded, one way or another, to implement solutions similar to that of Henry, de facto or de jure.

                > The emperor did not intend the sacking

                Emperor conquers Rome, then somehow neglects to pay the troops. Surely the sacking must have come as a total surprise to him 🙃 No doubt he industriously set about disciplining troops that roasted priests over a fire while demanding that they reveal even more buried gold. He did discipline them? Did he?

                > I would find plenty of evidence that Charles V believed in the relation of church and civil power that I have described

                I do find plenty of evidence for that. But evidently the Pope and Charles V had different interpretations of that relationship.

                > I would still argue that natural law requires a unified temporal hierarchy over all men

                That it does. But the problem is that a skyscraper full of three hundred dollars an hour lawyers in New York is apt to interpret that as meaning that a pub on the other side of the planet in a little town of one automotive repair shop, one shop, one church, and one pub, in the middle of the great Australian outback, needs their permission to hold a frog race. Most of the US “service export surplus” is the “service” provided by organizations in New York organizing authorization for things like permitting Russian McDonald’s franchisees in Russia to use Russian beef.

                And that is very much how the Pope was apt to interpret it, resulting in the sack of Rome and the Protestant Reformation.

                The Holy Roman Empire worked, to the extent that it did work, because emperor granted powers that we today would regard as only proper for a central state to exercise, including the power to make war and peace, to his vassals, and they in turn granted statelike powers to their vassals, all the way down to the peasant who under his small and leaky roof had kingly authority that today would be regarded as unacceptable for any man to exercise.

                And if they failed to respect such authority in their vassals, it was a violation and dishonoring of the feudal contract. Similarly, Charles the second of England granted the East India Company (which is the origin and model of the modern corporate form) authority to make war and peace.

                The solution to the problem of a tower full of lawyers in New York regulating frog races in the Australian outback, is, in the state, Throne, Altar, and Freehold, and in the state Church, collegial governance.

                The Popes abandoned collegial governance in the eleventh century, because you cannot run a war that way and they needed to fight wars. But you have to run a Church that way. So the Church should not fight wars. That is the business of Kings, and when Popes got into that business in the eleventh century, everything went wrong, resulting in the Pope excommunicating Byzantium. And continued to go wrong. Worked for military conflicts, never worked for Church governance.

                > So, am I wicked, or am I trying to persuade by honest means?

                You still have not passed the post Christian shill test. Roman Catholic Church is full of demon worshipers.

                Jesus Christ is Lord, born in Bethlehem, died at Jerusalem, and is, is from before the beginning of the world. Fully God and fully man. God is three and God is one.

                You are probably an honest man with decent intent, but you are speaking from a script and playbook written by evil men with malicious and deceitful intent, and this undermines debate and prevents fruitful discussion.

            It is essentially true that protestantism was a fruit of nominalism, and thus a temporal grounding for the modernity in general that would come to consume European civilization; but it also speaks in a passive voice as to why so many Princes of Europe felt the need for such pretexts to rationalize the assertion of their sovereignty against the vatican bureaucrats in the first place, even through they proved all too fatally universal in time.

    • jim says:

      The answer is obvious, and Tucker Carlson gave it. And you, of course, ignored his answer and framed him as supposedly giving your answer.

      If one has female employees, it is in one’s financial interest that they abort. But it is not in fact in one’s financial interest to have female employees. They are disruptive, unless supervised by an alpha male that they are having sex with, or unless they have had children and have an alpha husband. The classic Chinese ideogram for “trouble” is two women under one roof. They are always busy with some ingenious scheme for “lets you and him fight”, and making themselves the center of attention.

      Thus the real question is why so many female employees doing men’s work?

      And the answer to that is that one’s Human Resources Department, which is a government bureaucracy inserted in one’s business that one is forced by the government to pay and provide office space for, makes one do it.

        Dennis Prager on the issue:
        “Like other left-wing movements, feminism is based on a denial of reality (or, if you prefer, on lies). The best-known example is the feminist insistence that, except for physical differences, men and women are basically the same. This includes the central feminist belief about men’s and women’s sexual natures. For half a century, women have been told that their sexual nature is no different from male sexual nature — just as men can enjoy sex with no commitment and even anonymous sex, so can women. Women, feminism insisted, have been socialized into believing such sex does not accord with their nature.

        Who’d have predicted that a Supreme Court decision would force young women to confront sexual reality?

        But it seems that the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has done just that.

        For example, some women have called for a sex strike against men. According to the New York Post, “Calls for a nationwide sex strike were also gathering momentum on social media and, at one point, ‘abstinence’ was trending on Twitter with more than 26,900 tweets as of Saturday afternoon.””

        According to Dennis Prager, women are less sexual than men.

            OK, I am going to defend JBP for the purposes of discussion, but I am not saying you’re wrong in an evil or bad sense, merely technical. He has far too much enemy payload to be /ourguy/, but he is undeniably a gateway to better and best things, this place being one of them.

            He has an enormous back catalog of recorded lectures, essays, and literature. The classes I have viewed have a substantial amount of thoughtcrime, or maybe more accurately hints at thottcrime. Many on the New Right/Dissident Right reference him directly in regards to their path to and through the Redpill. If he’s controlled opposition, when did it start, and why do they keep him around if he keeps channeling young, white men towards the Truth? Please refrain from “he’s not holy enough” arguments, as they are known and accounted for. No one is perfect, and few are effective. He is effective, and he has done substantial damage to the credibility of the Cathedral (specifically on the troon issue but not exclusively) as well as shifted the Overton window rightward, or maybe expanded the right side of it, which is not insubstantial in and of itself.

            To assert correctly that JBP is controlled opposition, I think you’d have to demonstrate how his efforts and offerings weaken the Right in general, and the true Redpill in particular.

            Apologies to reiterate, but this is technical; I am in no way stating that he’s on our side.

              He’s a Harvard socialist who suddenly started taking concepts from the reactionary right, chopping out the useful bits and then making millions selling them to the wider public in a form that’s unlikely to produce real opposition.

              Telling young men to clean their rooms instead of acting manly is classic controlled opposition instruction, much the like the Cuckservitive mantra of losing with dignity.

              From July 1993 to June 1998,[33] Peterson lived in Arlington, Massachusetts, while teaching and conducting research at Harvard University, where he was hired as an assistant professor in the psychology department, later becoming an associate professor. During his time at Harvard, he studied aggression arising from drug and alcohol abuse.[30] An article in The Harvard Crimson said he possessed a “willingness to take on any research project, no matter how unconventional”.[25] While at Harvard, he switched his primary area of research from familial alcoholism to personality and authored several academic papers.[34][35][36][37][38][39] Author Gregg Hurwitz, a former student of Peterson’s at Harvard, has cited Peterson as an inspiration of his, and psychologist Shelley Carson, former PhD student and now-professor at Harvard, recalled that Peterson’s lectures had “something akin to a cult following”, stating, “I remember students crying on the last day of class because they wouldn’t get to hear him anymore.”[6] Following his associate position at Harvard, Peterson returned to Canada in July 1998 and eventually became a full professor at the University of Toronto.[28][33][40]

                Here’s the problem with the purity spiraling on our side: our heavy discourse and long years of analysis and dialogue have made it impossible for elites to convert and change sides. We know fundamentally that the masses don’t matter, but we’ve made a system wherein the only way to be a good reactionary is to join up before making classic mistakes, or to be so thoroughly sheltered from the fallen and broken world that by dint of out-of-touchedness one is unsullied by the Polygon. Do you see how this means we will only every have unity of purpose and loyalty under The Perfect Man? I’m not saying JBP is the best option for leading the forces of Reaction in the Occident, but consider how we as a sphere would respond if he put out a vlog of himself at an undisclosed location, wearing tactical gear while holding a Bible and a C-8 carbine, and saying “It’s time to put up or shut up, bucko. We’re going to make the West safe for Monarchy.” We’d point, sputter, and babble about all the many little reasons JBP is not /ourguy/ enough, I think.

                Obviously, he doesn’t seem like the type to call out the Man Militia and restore Patriarchy to the server of our MMO/RPG. But if/when that does happen, it will most likely be someone with a checkered past of Cathedral Compliance.

                To reiterate: what has JBP done in Normie Space that has weakened our position?

                  Nuts.

                  If he converts, great. We will say so. But he is not our guy. He is controlled opposition, has been operating as controlled opposition all this time, and is unlikely to change. He is not our guy. He is unlikely to become our guy.

                  Should the time come when we choose Caesar, as Samuel chose Saul, rather than Caesar choosing us, as Constantine chose Christianity, we will likely choose a Caesar from officers of the private military companies.

                  OK, I buy that. As I said, I don’t think he’s a likely candidate for Caesar. And I am not saying he’s our guy. But he does have the precursors assembled for an army, whether he meant to do that or not. I’m still not seeing how he’s controlled opposition because I don’t see how what he’s done/is doing detracts from the gradual and quiet shift rightward of the thinking American white male. His message and info campaign is driving people toward this blog, and the Hard Right in general. So if he is controlled opposition, he’s doing terribly.

                  Same vein of the topic, while I agree that a PMC type is a likely possible source for leadership, I think the categories for possible source are actually quite wide, wider than we theorize anyways.

                  Jordan Peterson’s health troubles were a personal experience of western technological decline, of which he is painfully aware, but will not speak.

                  Putin “intends at a minimum to” …

                  Which intentions make no sense whatsoever in except as shear crazy evil, without the context that Global American imperial expansion has been underway in the conflict zone for eight years and intends to head all the way to Moscow, make no sense without the context that US is sponsoring color revolutions all over the world, and has started another in the last few days on the borders of Russia.

                  It is history as nonsense, world events that make no sense, just as in Niiiidriveevof’s account of reality, the sack of Rome by the Holy Roman Emperor and the resulting counter reformation make no sense, they are just meaningless things that just happened arbitrarily without causes or consequences.

                  It is a stupid lie, an evil lie, that makes the liar stupid, a lie intended to harm the audience by making them stupid and ignorant, presenting a world that makes no sense because the lie makes no sense. The lie takes away the causes and the consequences, creating a world of random meaningless incoherent events.

With no evidence at all, I think we’re going to see some very interesting and unexpected conversions as we hurtle ever faster towards oblivion.

                  KD did you read JP book? It came out around the time the alt right was getting going and I thought some reactionary thinking was hitting the mainstreaming. Instead I got a book of lies and half truths.

                  The left co-opts real opposition by moving people like JP into them, putting up some limited opposition them(people calling JP a nazi) and then neutralizes any attempt at building real opposition by sucking up energy into them. See 1/3 of the Republican senators recently voting for gun control for a prime example of how this works. JP joining Little Ben’s controlled opposition media group was just icing on the cake with JP.

                  I never purity spiral claiming that I do is straight up slander. I hate is liars and charlatans. I grew up in an evangelical christian family that lurched from one group of controlled opposition Christians to another. I got very adapt spotting this sort of bullshit.

                  Com’s right that some people can read controlled opposition stuff and then move onto the red pill, but I note that we talk about this on a blog where everyone is working hard to hide their identities. The men publicly giving real red pills long ago where silenced for speaking the truth. JP less of a gateway drug, than someone there to gate keep to keep men away from the truth.

                  No, I observed Maps of Meaning 2017 in a focused and organized manner, and I found it excellent as a university lecture series (I know, extremely low bar). I’m not going to stand in the way of the dismantling of Harvard, in fact I would gladly help, but I do believe there’s a place for academics in society. It resembles the place for prophets, actually: isolated in a remote location with heavy restrictions on permissible activities after someone elects to Join the Institution.

                  >purity spiraling
                  Please chalk this up to poor communication on my part. I do not now, nor did I previously, think you were spiraling. I think JBP as a construct, as a representative of elites that could be converted to Reaction, opens the door to the discussion of tolerable mistakes in one’s personal history.

                  >leftist co-opting
                  I cannot rebut this. Shapiro is as dangerous as he is useless. If JBP entries and takes over his platform, that would be interesting, but that is so speculative and fanciful it’s not worth considering at this juncture.

                  >the redpill in public
                  Yet again, very on the money. The Polygon has made it basically impossible to state the truth in public under one’s identity. So, what is to be done? More specifically, what is to be done by Elites who are looking to withdraw from the status quo and move in a different direction? There’s a limit to how many Jims can exist in any given ideological Sphere. If the saturation gets too high, the Eye of Sauron will bring the Hammer of Czernobog. What can they do? A while back, someone pointed out the fact that JBP relies heavily on Jung while completely avoiding Jungian concepts that are unacceptable to the mainstream. We can look at that example and say “See? JBP is not telling the truth!” and be correct, but we must also factor in that he is leading people to the haunt of redpills, which is about the most that can be done under the current circumstances.

                  Jim points out that JBP was directly impacted, deleteriously, by the decline of Western science, and yet he says nothing. He also points out that JBP is parroting cathedral rhetoric about Russia. I will go ahead and point out that he was completely off base about Trump. These are all marks against the man. But he is still a courtier with influence and connections. He has a significant degree of status. He has no choice but to call the deer a horse. I guess I am just not certain he actually believes that it is a horse. If any one of us were in the same situation, in that we had status and influence and connections from holding a Position in the court of public opinion, how would we go about being worthy and accepting power without being stripped of our Position?

                  One final angle, and this may be irrelevant, is that JBP seems to ruminate for a long time on things before he holds forth on them. It could be the case that he is working towards a position on tech decline, GAE expansion, and the Redpill on Women. It is most likely not the case, but I don’t think we can state categorically that it is not the case.

                  I will suspend my defense of the man at this point. I’ve made my position clear, and my advocacy was voluntary and largely theoretical. Of course I will continue to respond if engaged, but I think both you and Jim have sufficiently demonstrated the negatives of the man and his movement. I see JBP as a vehicle for elaborating our body of thought on the methodology of converting, capturing, and utilizing elites, and I fully accept that he may not be the best example available.

                  It is completely obvious that he does not believe what he says, nor say what he believes, so, being a smart guy, has already come to a conclusion. Obviously he knows on women and Western tech decline – why do you think it occurred to him to head off to Russia for medical treatment?

                  And he is not going to come out with it, at least not under the name Jordan Peterson, because he would at a minimum be cancelled, deplatformed, and demonetized, and as the Information Epoch holy war comes ever closer, likely more drastic measures would be applied.

                  If he comes out with it, great. We will revere him as another fallen martyr to the cause.

                  Thank you. Controlled opposition always pretends to be on your side while endlessly subverting you. This is why Trump was so shocking. Not only did he make promises that told us he was but he actually delivered on them. Controlled opposition doesn’t do that.

      I predict that once the pivot to EEurope is to a point where stopping or changing direction is impossible, China will take the next escalatory step on Taiwan. The actual NATO bulking could take a year or more, so look for Russia to do something to speed it up, something that gets the NATO countries frantic. They will then rush troops and equipment into the theater, increasing the disarray and chaos. Once it’s clear the US is all in on Fortress Europe, China will move.

      China has already knocked out one US administration, and I bet they will try to do it again. Destroying any kind of consistency in the Core GAE is in their interests.

      So I guess I’m reaffirming my prior position: Russia is not being reactive or emotional. The broad outline is known, though the actual steps are not. Ukraine is the distraction, the rabbit is the implosion of GAE, and the hat is the military/marketplace/culture.

      • why lord why says:

        You are nearly this stupid in every post you make. At least you’re consistent.

        Europe is a ground war. Taiwan is a naval war. Not the same personnel, not the same equipment, some of the same munitions. Very little overlap. Certainly not enough to affect operations in either theater for the first two weeks, which is what will be critical for Taiwan.

        China can plausibly decide to let the US be distracted by Russia if it looks like Russia is capable of doing the distracting. Right now, Russia is fully occupied by a third-rate corrupt shithole of a former Soviet republic that everybody expected would collapse within two weeks, with no prospect of meaningful progress anywhere on the horizon. If you think the Chinese leadership considers this a good side bet, you are even stupider than you look.

          American naval capability is likely dead in the water within six hundred kilometers of the Chinese mainland or any of the fortified islands that China has been constructing in the South China sea.

          Those islands are unsinkable aircraft carriers, built for a future war in which they expect that floating aircraft carries will have a very short life expectancy.

          The problem for America is that a two front war is likely to get out of hand, each front exacerbating the other. It is not that Ukraine is utilizing resources needed to defend Taiwan, it is that wars are apt to escalate, and getting into a two front war can lead to unforeseen outcomes.

          Normies are generally deluded about who rules, but they do not believe that capitalists have ever ruled. Your presupposition is not consensus, and never has been.

          Money is not power. Power is power. Those who have power do not need money, they just reach out their hand, and whatever they want is given to them. Capitalists and capitalism has existed since men first grew grain and herded cattle, and capitalists have never had power and never will have power.

          We are always ruled by priests or warriors, or something of both. Always have been, always will be.

          “Capital” is derived from the word for cattle. It meant “head of cattle”, because you count a herd by their heads. You think cattle are power?

          No, swords are power, and words can sometimes manage to control swords. Cattle?

      The priest caste uses words, the warrior caste uses swords, the worker caste uses stuff.

      A high merchant is probably rarely in contact with the stuff that changes hands, but only with the words representing and coordinating the changing of hands, so the business of the high merchant sort of resembles the business of the priest.

      But the business of the high merchant can be traced to boxes of stuff, the leaf nodes in his influence graph are material boxes, while the leaf nodes of the priestly graph are people.

        Musk is very much in contact with it, but as a rule you are correct. The high merchant relies on representations of stuff constructed by bookkeepers. The firm came into being as an entity imagined into reality by bookkeepers. Thus accounting represents an attack vector for the priesthood to control the merchants.

    • What Pooch and co sees is merchants giving priests money and thinks the merchants are funding them.

            Started of with riots against the King’s authority to appoint bishops, which was provoked by his propensity to appoint high Church Bishops.

            The monarchic settlement of the restoration was all about religious issues, not economic issues. The deal was toleration. State and quasi state entities would be exclusively run by those of the state religion who adhered to the Kings Bishops, but all other faiths would be tolerated.

            No one talked about economic issues, except the post Christian far left of Puritanism, whom Cromwell crushed. Economic issues did not come into the picture until 1832. Until 1832 the conflict was Socinians passing as Christians versus old type Christians, and then the holiness spiral in the post Christian left resulted in the economic issues raised by the post Christian descendants of the Puritan Christian heresy that Cromwell crushed arising again.

            Until 1832 everyone would have looked at you funny if you started talking about Marx’s economic classes. It just was not on their radar.

            • Pooch says:

              Let’s take a deep look at the family and background of Oliver Cromwell before the English Civil Wars.

              Cromwell was born into the landed gentry with a family estate derived from Oliver’s great-great-grandfather Morgan ap William, brewer and merchant who married Katherine Cromwell, the sister of Thomas Cromwell, would become the famous chief minister to Henry VIII. The Cromwells acquired great wealth as occasional beneficiaries of Thomas’s administration of the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

              Cromwell’s paternal grandfather Sir Henry Williams was one of the two wealthiest landowners in Huntingdonshire. Cromwell’s father, being the younger son with many siblings, was of modest means but still a member of the landed gentry inheriting a house and a small amount of land.

              Oliver Cromwell married Elizabeth Bourchier. Elizabeth’s father, Sir James Bourchier, was a London leather merchant who owned extensive lands in Essex and had strong connections with Puritan gentry families. The marriage brought Cromwell into contact with Oliver St John and leading members of London’s merchant community.

              In 1631, Oliver had become involved in some sort of dispute among the gentry of Huntingdon. As a result, he sold most of his properties in Huntingdon, and moved too a farmstead in nearby St. Ives. This move, a significant step down in society for the Cromwells, also had significant emotional and spiritual impact on Cromwell. Cromwell had kept a smallholding of chickens and sheep, selling eggs and wool to support himself, his lifestyle resembling that of a yeoman farmer.

              In 1636 Cromwell inherited control of various properties in Ely from his uncle on his mother’s side, and his uncle’s job as tithe collector for Ely Cathedral. By the end of the 1630s, Cromwell had returned to the ranks of acknowledged gentry. He had become a committed Puritan and had established important family links to leading merchant families in London and Essex.

              When Oliver became a Member of Parliment, Cromwell was strongly linked to these godly families of merchant aristocrats in the House of Lords and House of Commons with whom he had established familial and religious links in the 1630s, such as the Earls of Essex, Warwick and Bedford, Oliver St John and Viscount Saye and Sele.

              It becomes clear after studying Oliver’s background, although he was not a particularly successful merchant himself, he was representative of a rising Puritan merchant class.

              It was this rising Puritan merchantile priestly elite in conjunction that overthrew the rule of the old landed aristocratic warrior class of the British kings.

              Why was the merchant class rising? We have to look back to the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

              When Henry VIII confiscated the property of the Catholic Church in Britain, there was a church in every village and practically every street corner. They were almost all economically independent. It wasn’t just that they were tithing, they also had their own businesses. They had wineries, farms, and made clothing. They produce books and bibles, the painstaking process before the printing press.

              The monasteries which were attached as part of these Catholic properties were economically productive. There was a large amount of land that was owned by the Catholic Church and it was not allowed to be bought and sold.

              When Henry VIII confiscated all the church property, he then sold that church property to the highest bidder. There were for the first time people who didn’t own land who were not nobility (because nobility was defined by a landowner. You could not be nobility without having land and if you had land that ennobled you.) who now had the opportunity to become landed.

              These people who had been merchants (shoemakers, traders, goldsmiths, jewelers, etc) who had not been part of the nobility were able to buy land at this point and that created the underlying socio-economic forces that are ultimately behind the English Civil War.

              The rise of a merchant class is adjacent to a shifting priest class, that’s no longer moored in Catholicism, that’s now Protestant, Presbyterian, Puritan. All of these forces are allying with the merchant class and saying “The king doesn’t have the right to rule. It’s the people who rule and the king is a servant of the people”

              • jim says:

                As you said, landed was noble and noble was landed.

                The landed gentry were politically dominant all the way to the nineteenth century, with nothing dramatic happening in in sixteen hundred. A successful merchant acquired land, and successful merchants had been industriously doing that and marrying into longer established, but frequently poorer, nobility, for many centuries.

                Around eleven hundred, twelve hundred, landed was the man with terrible swift sword, and training from earliest child hood in using it, which lifelong very hard training was apt to develop extremely powerful muscles. As for example William the Marshall who acquired that land with his own sword from the back of his own horse.

                From, however, twelve hundred to eighteen hundred, land was more the real estate developer, tenant manager. As for example William the Marshall, who was apt sell land, exchange land, and to lease out land on very long term leases that required the holder of the lease to develop the land, and gave tenant considerable rights that could not be arbitrarily changed, making the tenant a little bit, or quite a large bit, landed and noble.

                So locating a “rising merchant class” on the basis of land ownership changes at a particular date is late nineteenth century invention. William the Marshal did the transition seamlessly around the year of our lord twelve hundred, and, as he went merchant, he enabled a whole lot of merchants to go noble. Every major transition of power and innumerable minor transitions of power that nobody now remembers involved a lot of land changing hands, and a lot of that land being sold, with a lot of people thus becoming noble/landed. And the whole time, a whole lot of land was being bought and sold on the basis of entirely private matters with no political significance.

                Yes, Cromwell and company had no end of merchant connections. And the children and grandchildren of William the Marshal also had no end of merchant connections. That transition happened about in about eleventh century of our Lord. And the rise of the urban merchant elite in the nineteenth century of our lord. Nothing very unusual happened in the role of the merchant class in the seventeenth century of our lord.

                • Pooch says:

                  You mention land changing hands from warrior to warrior. Quite common during the feudal periods.

                  I am not seeing any evidence of merchants owning land of any significance before the Dissolution of the Monasteries, an event that put an enormous amount of land on the market for purchase by an unlanded merchant class. An event that the Cromwells personally benefited immensely from.

                • jim says:

                  > You mention land changing hands from warrior to warrior.

                  Warrior to warrior land ownership changes do not involve money. But a fully equipped warrior was extremely expensive, so … William the Marshall’s real estate development business, managed substantially by his wife.

                  Warriors need money. Merchants have money. But, before you can shake down merchants, they have to come to you, so … william the Marshall’s real estate business, in which a great many non warriors acquired land, and thus, eventually nobility.

                  From the eleventh century of our lord onwards, considerably more acquisition of land for money, and considerably less acquisition of land at swordpoint. So merchant and nobility interwoven from the eleventh century onwards. Nothing out of the ordinary about Cromwell’s family and connections.

                  You are projecting the full on feudalism of the tenth century, when ownership of land depended very directly on one’s personal ability to ride a horse and wield a sword, all the way up to whatever political events your professor wants to explain in Marxist terms.

                  And likely when describing the radical changes in the nineteenth century, your professor would give the same explanation, only this time projecting tenth century feudalism all the way into the nineteenth century. And, as the twentieth century fades out of memory, into the twentieth century.

                  William the Marshal, under the King, ruled the lands he acquired with his sword, no such thing as a ruling class at that time, and for many centuries thereafter. He ruled what he had, and other nobles ruled what they had.

                  And he then went into the real estate development business, a very merchant business, in the process granting land and rights, and thus in due course nobility, to a whole lot of merchants.

                • The Cominator says:

                  Thomas Cromwell benefitted because he was basically Henry VIIIs prime minister (until he was executed one of the few executions Henry VIII openly regretted which maybe explains why his family kept some of the land) and not a warrior ie he was archetypically a priest he was originally on Woolseys staff (though he was always a secret Protestant).

                  Oliver Cromwell was a non military gentry outside of government I guess he was sort of a merchant but when he entered government he quickly became a warrior.

                  Pooch, finance was invented by duke Robert of Normandy, turning land leases and associated rights into financial instruments in order to raise the money to wage war. Medieval law already treated with legal entities, the predecessor to corporations, and the art of finance trickled down from the noble class to the merchant class. There was a healthy market by 1300 for what we would today call political rights, but it was just contract law, where individuals and abstract legal entities would buy, sell, and trade rights and interests for cash. Including, of course, land. From the eleventh century onward, the serf became a tenant, granted substantial rights over his land in exchange for paying in cash rather than service. And oftentimes, one could pay the cash up front and just get the land; most medieval cities were generally self-governed, having raised the cash to just buy out the lord who originally owned them.

                  The anarchy of tenth century feudalism severely inhibited capitalism. Which impeded the ability of warriors to fund themselves and their retainers.

Coming up soon, all the way forward to the twentieth century.

                  In the tenth century, feudalism was rule by men equipped with expensive weapons, very physically strong men, extraordinarily strong men, trained from childhood in use of those weapons.

                  From the eleventh century to the eighteenth, rule by a martial and thoroughly capitalist landed gentry. William the Marshal acquired land with his own sword, but found he was mighty short on the social and institutional means for obtaining value from that land. So …

      These are small victories which cannot resolve the war. But, since the Ukrainians were deploying trenches, after the fashion of World War I attritive warfare, they are indicative of huge casualties.

      The big advantage of placing your men in trenches is that they are handy dandy mass graves: when the fighting starts, the troops are unable to run away, and they will thus soak up a huge amount of artillery shells.

      The real idea of attritive warfare was to attrit the enemy’s supply of shells.

      That the Russians are advancing is a small change in the war. However, that the Russians are advancing indicates that the Ukrainians ran out men before the Russians ran out of shells. However, in the Information Epoch, grunts do not soak up nearly as many artillery shells as they did in World War I.

Lithuania was also the most vocal opponent of China last year, this year they are the most vocal opponent of Russia, threatening the Kaliningrad enclave and so on. Something’s up with Lithuania and Poland. Someone has been feeding their revanchist ambitions.

                  Anyway. When Russia on the east and the Germanic states on the west begun gradually eating up the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth, they therefore begun getting not only new territories, but also new populations — Poles and Jews.

                  By the second half of the 19th century 5 million citizens of the Russian Empire, out of a total of 50 million, were Jews. That’s an incredible number. Many cities, including Odessa and Vienna, became predominantly Jewish.

                  By the early 20th century, the six gorillion lived mainly in a) the Austro-Hungarian empire, b) the Russian empire, and c) whenever Poland flickered into existence for a few seconds.

                  Hence also most of today’s US Jews in high places being from that same region — Eastern European grandparents and so on. Complete with the ancestral desire to see the local Slavs and if possible Germanics too massacre each other for the puppet master’s amusement.

                  At the time when Adolf’s generation was born and growing up, it is very likely that in towns and cities (not poor villages), everyone was one quarter Jew or one eighth Jew.

                  Later WWII happened, as well as voluntary and semi-voluntary emigration waves into America and Israel. This emptied out that region a bit from pureblood Jews. Now they’re in Israel and America. The classical Russian neighborhoods such as on Brighton Beach are Jewish neighborhoods. 30% of Israel speaks Russian. And so on.

                  This regional plummeting of the number of Jews in no way precluded the new Ukrainian govt being ultra-Jewish, but that’s for Anglin readers to pursue.

                  Any Russian (European part), Ukrainian, Belorussian, Pole, Austrian, Hungarian, Czech, or Slovak, especially if the stock is city folk going back to before WWII at least on the side of some great-grandma, is very likely to have some Jewish ancestry.

                  Additionally, South East Europe being part of the Ottoman Empire for 500 years, the internal imperial genetic drift seeded all sorts of surprises. Just like inside the Russian Empire, where you can never be certain if one’s great-grandparents aren’t Tatars, or Bashkirs, or Mordva, or what have you.

                  In Greece, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Romania, you also never know if the Ottoman Imperial genetic drift didn’t seed your ancestral village or city neighborhood with Tatar or Jewish or Syrian or Egyptian blood. Or Turkish.

                  Had Hitler been born into the Russian Empire or the former Ottoman Empire lands, he would have been some sort of mixture of breeds with a 90% certainty. Within the Austro-Hungarian empire — at least 50% certainty. This is how sprawling continental political structures in the old world work.

                  Today’s Chinaman is also a mongrel, to which white’s are blind, but Koreans and Japs are not. Koreans and Japs are the “Scandinavians” in this sense, genetically, while China is genetically the equivalent of Austro-Hungary or Russia or Turkey.

                  I don’t see how any of this could make one become a fan of any historical world leader, or conversely stop being a fan of any historical world leader, unless one has a female approach to life based on emotional reactions and gossip. Or some purity-fetishist ultras like the Amerika.org guy.

                • jim says:

                  Quite possibly one quarter Jewish.

                  But the Rothschilds were funding the commies, until it blew up in their faces, and after 1930, sudden diminution in commie funding.

                  The Rothschild’s strategy was to use their depositors money to fund war, revolution, and subversion, and thus obtain power, and with this power, more control of more of other people’s savings. But Russia turned into a black hole that sucked money in and no money came out.

                  Classic case of evil consuming evil. And in 1930 the depositors started asking to see their money.

    • skippy says:

      If you believe this study, he had a genetic marker that is found in Jews and in non-Jews. It increases the probability he had Jewish ancestry compared to if some other markers had been found, but does not prove it.

      • The Cominator says:

        Hitler’s father was illegitimate and though she married a man who later claimed to be his “father” its doubtful. His paternal grandmother was a serving girl, there are rumors she was working in the Rothschild house at the time Alois Schiklgruber was conceived but the records seem to have been destroyed (which is perhaps the best argument for this story being true).

        So did Hitler have jewish ancestry… maybe.

        • skippy says:

          Maybe indeed.

          A good argument for impregnating Jewish girls and raising them as Goys if you want to overcome this particular world-conspiracy.

          On the other hand, neither Alois nor young Hitler showed any particular talent. If Hitler was the real deal, seems to be due to some special array of talents for politics in a chaotic state that didn’t lead to general success in life.

          • The Cominator says:

            Hitler was a good speaker as far as Germans percieved good speakers, he was also helped out extensively for whatever reason by Dietrich Eckhart and the Thule society, Wagner’s Family and then by Von Papen (a Jesuit).

            He was a good speaker but he got into power because he was sponsored by powerful forces…

            • jim says:

              Nah. He was opposed, not supported, by powerful forces.

              The Wiemar elite was failing dismally, and as result could not maintain the semblance of democratic legitimacy. To maintain the appearance of democratic legitimacy, Papen, leader of what would now call the cuckservatives, cut a deal with less terrifying faction of the radical left, the Nazis. The deal was that the Nazis would provide the votes, and old elite retain the power, while giving Hitler the purely nominal appearance of power.

              The error in this deal was that the Wiemar elite had long been using illegitimate state and quasi state violence against its opponents, and Hitler was an old hand at that. With the boot of the state off his men’s backs, and ample precedent provided by the Weimar elite, he applied state and quasi state violence against the elite itself.

              At the last minute, Papen went looking for a deal with the Christian right and the reactionary right, but it was too late, and he was the wrong man, having betrayed everyone.

              • The Cominator says:

                Papen is one of the most sinister figures of the 20th century and a Jesuit.
                Given who Papens real allegiances and real master was (he walked out of Nuremberg scot free… and he had a hand in getting the US into WW1 as well)… Maybe he knew it would workout that way…

                • jim says:

                  Finding he could not be the leader of the left when the leader of the (less insane) radical left was Hitler, a man who was disinclined to be a well paid puppet, Papen attempted to get the good guys together under his leadership. They did not come, probably because on past form, had they been successful, would have been hexduple crossed (they had already been doublecrossed and quadruple crossed, Papen’s alliance with Hitler being the quadruple cross, and his speech attempting to rally the right, the Christian right, and the reactionary right against the radical left being the quintuple cross).

            • skipper says:

              Papen tried to cuck Hitler and Hitler defeated him but let him be ambassador to Turkey rather than killing him because he was at least a gentleman about it.

              He had von Schleicher killed.

              Hitler was sponsored by a piano factory mostly. Eckart was himself considered a weirdo. Wagner and his family had already sponsored Houston Stuart Chamberlain who was even more anti-Semitic than Hitler.

              Try to find Hitler’s inaugural Reichstag speech and tell me it doesn’t remind you of today. Specifically, isn’t it what everyone wished Trump had said, instead of what he did?

    Chechen news in English

    It’s mostly the dear leader being everywhere and doing everything, and honored visitors coming over the the Chechen republic.
    The latter is one of the 80 constituent states of the Russian Federation, with a population of 1.5 million.

    The man-woman dancing of the Chechens appears to be modelled on mating dances of birds.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbN6YFJw3cc&t=1375s
    The man spreads his wings and pretends to try to corner the woman. Agility and virility is shown through bursts of jerky movements. The woman slowly floats along, sensually rotating her wrists, and either softly claps her hands or touches her heart to signify she’s done with the dance.
    At minute 3 some woman stands up and you realize the Kardashians are a vulgarized far off reflection of the original fertile woman from the Caucasus region.

    They are mountain folk so their archetypal totems are probably birds and haha, goats.

    When you look at Chechen warriors gathered, you realize their names are Gimli, Balin, Durin, and so on.

    • Varna says:

      At 26.40 on the Chechen wedding dance, Tom Bombadil’s wife goes out on the dance floor (in stilettos, natch), taking over from the previous epic cougar, and turns out to be a radiant finger-dance master. Depending on each minute shift in her overall body, her fingers also do some vril flow shit.

      Her partner Gimli is a bit wooden at first, half the time insecurely doing body-communication with his bros, but she patiently draws him out until he lets go and in the end they approach the point where an instant from now they’ll be making out, and both simultaneously break it off, with a fleeting friendly pat on each other’s backs.

        Can’t quite make up my mind. Are these mountain harkonen? Mountain fremen? Or just generic mountain vikings?

        Frankly, I’d be pretty tense about having either of the three where I live. Unless, of course, there’s a civilizational collapse, global or local, and chaps like that are the only way of having some semblance of functioning law &order. Let’s hope such a choice never arises.

    Been seeing a slow and constant trickle of research showing the mRNA vaccines were fairly bad. A recent study out of Stanford and UCLA found:

    “The excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest surpassed the risk reduction for COVID-19 hospitalization relative to the placebo group in both Pfizer and Moderna trials”

    Shouldn’t be surprising to anyone here.

    I’ve also noticed there a dearth of information and research concerning the J&J vaccine. Anyone have an idea why?

    If my premise if wrong about J&J getting little scrutiny can anyone point me to a source of information?

    I have a suspicion that the adverse side effects of J&J were extremely rare and relatively minor when compared to the mRNA ones which is where there is no apparent interest in researching J&J.

    • Varna says:

      I was thinking this yesterday as well.

      Sputnik is also getting “increased scrutiny”:
      https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/new-questions-raised-over-sputnik-covid-vaccine-results-point-to-fraudulent-practices/4015862.article

      It will turn out I think like with the Olympics “doping scandals”, in the sense of the Russians doing their thing in the old-fashioned clumsy way, while the holy west does the same or worse but know how to present their data in a polished way.
      However, go beyond the polish, and it will turn out that Sputnik’s twin Astra Zeneca is the same crap.

      Sputnik at first had a “sputnik lite” version, which was the equivalent of the single-jab J&J. However later they stopped counting it as being “fully vaccinated”, and Sputnik Lite was now only officially good as a “booster”. Since January 2022 in Europe J&J also no longer counts as a “full vaccination” but only as a “booster”.

      It may turn out that of all the clotshots the single dose ones Sputnik Lite and Janssen were the least lethal, at least when measuring one on one, without subsequent “boosts”. Hence them quickly losing status as “full vaccination”.

      Whatever happened to the Novavax peptide bullshit (the third variation of the clotshot)? At the very start of everything Cuba and Russia both made peptide shots as well, and while Cuba vacced everybody to the hilt from school kids upward, Russia marketed their peptide shot EpiVac to old folks, due to the “negligible side effects”.

      Then one whole family dropped dead after taking EpiVac.

    Looks like Dish Network is trying to indirectly fuck with Starlink.

    ——————————–

    Today we ask for your support in ending a lobbying campaign that threatens to make Starlink unusable for you and the vast majority of our American customers.

    As recently reported, DISH Network has been hoarding spectrum for years as a strategy for preventing open and fair competition.

    Most recently, DISH has been attempting to claim new rights to the 12 GHz band, which is the spectrum you currently use to download content with Starlink. Despite technical studies dating back as far as 2016 that refute the basis of their claims, DISH has employed paid lobbyists who are attempting to mislead the FCC with faulty analysis in hopes of obscuring the truth.

    In reality, if DISH gets their way, Starlink customers will experience harmful interference more than 77% of the time and total outage of service 74% of the time, rendering Starlink unusable for most Americans. You can read the details here.

    The FCC and your members of Congress have the power to stop this effort, but they need to hear from you.

    Over my head but on my radar:

    https://hiddencomplexity.substack.com/p/monkeypox-may-have-undergone-accelerated

    Excerpt:

    “So my argument so far (very opinionated to be clear) is the following. Both the viral infection of SARS-CoV-2, and the pandemic measures (lockdowns literally work in reverse, help spread diseases, and hinder your immune response to other viruses) help drive the evolution of the current strain of MonkeyPox a little by causing enough subclinical immune shift in the infected.

    In the global vaccination campaigns, with a vaccine that has extensive literature on its immunosuppressive effects, the constant reinfection causes a shift (drastic change in immunology) of immunological landscape (population-wide immune system and their response), which gave the proper and perfect landscape for certain latent viral infections to go rampant and evolve in months what would take, perhaps, decades.

    The accelerated evolution they can’t explain has a clear cause…”

        I was since almost two years ago in the “intentional genocide” camp because I took their club of Rome-type pronouncements seriously. Even that “Silent weapons for quiet wars” document whose provenance was hard to establish is looking increasingly like it may be legitimate. That one is supposed to be an internal document, so openly talks about “genocide and benevolent slavery”. Note Dennis Meadows (hired by club of rome to write “the limits to growth”) speaks of a “smart dictatorship” and huge drop in living standard (slavery), plus an “unavoidable” very large drop in population in whose experience “everyone participates” (sounds like genocide to me).

            Their genes are guaranteed to make it through the “shared experience”, so will be disproportionately represented in the future population. At a basic level something like that may be part of their true intention. Obviously these people don’t pull off such a massive “shared experience” without achieving multiple objectives. One of the objectives stated in silent weapons for quiet wars is the elimination of creditors.

            seen on the screen, rose from his place in the centre of the
            amphitheatre.

            “He lies! He wants to destroy the city to keep his power.
            He condemns us to death to retain power. Pie knows that the
            only way he can retain power is to destroy millions of people.

            who roam the dusty passages on holidays, yawning from
            despair, and who seek oblivion frenziedly in the accursed
            khavra.
            Tuscoob has made our deathbed. Let him lie on it
            himself. We do not wish to die. We were born to live. We know
            that Mars is doomed to extinction. But there is salvation—it
            will come from the Earth, the people of the Earth—a sound,
            fresh race with hot blood. He fears them. Tuscoob, you have
            hidden two men from the Earth in your home. You are afraid of
            them, the Sons of the Sky. You are strong only among the weak
            and khavra-doped. When strong hot-blooded men come, you

      Your naivety in regard to white women is endearing, bro. White women follow an insectile model of maturation, moving through stages based on seasonal climate, foraging opportunities, and biological urges. White women enter the world as babies, not dissimilar from other humankind, but are fed a steady diet of Princess Jelly, a hyper concentrated mixture of blind love and restriction-free guidance. This, mixed with a paradox tea of equality over everyone else, causes the sweet little white girl to mature into a brat grub. The brat grub dresses like a slut even before sexual maturity is initiated, and predates on the population of immature white males in a suicidal attempt to attract a mature white male. If a mature white male is successfully signaled, engaged, then destroyed, the brat grub pupates into a turbo slut (if the brat grub is wholly owned by the male, it’s a very different story). If no mature white male is captured, the brat grub pupates into Schrodninger’s Harlot, a woman that is at the same time wholly given over to slutty displays in public while in bed just a limp starfish. If Schrodinger’s Harlots don’t become possessed by a Chad, they will eventually take possession of a Husk Male, the sad result of an immature white male destroyed by a brat grub. Schrodinger’s Harlot matures into a Fertile Karen, which is a politically dangerous entity with little intellect and a massive capacity for needling, damage, and trouble, particularly if they start getting fed Princess Jelly by beta orbiters and “followers.” The Fertile Karen is the White Woman most commonly referenced in the literature, and if they are allowed to organize without being shunted into a continuous birthing process, they are known to instantiate colony collapse. The process is poorly understood, but conjecture is that the Fertile Karen believes she is some reality-defying combination of Turbo Slut and Brat Grub in a Schrodinger’s Harlot configuration. Counterintuitively, Turbosluts are far less dangerous than Fertile Karens, which is where your perspective of strippers is derived, but this is merely a curio of the current context. Like a bear, all white women pose significant danger when hungry and unrestrained.

    • Pax Imperialis says:

      Big difference between middle and upper middle class. Upper middle class is basically the polite American way of saying upper class but not top elite. There’s a big social difference between a police officer and a lawyer. Both are “middle class,” yet their social status is highly divergent.

      The fanaticism you talk about is not limited to blue states, it exists almost universally in the upper middle class and trickles down into the actual middle class due to fashion being downstream of power. I grew up in an upper middle class family and went through an upper middle class school system. The social environment was just a fanatical and liberal as any coastal liberal city even though I was in a deeply conservative flyover state.

      In upper class environments, virtue and not money is the main currency of social status. At a certain point, there is little status difference between making 100k vs 250k to the extent it no longer provides a good basis for determining social status. The main method of obtaining social status in peace time societies is through virtue. Contrast that with wartime where status is determined by being able to take and hold ground. Claiming virtue via speech is always easier than claiming virtue via action. Easier to picket in the streets shouting virtuous slogans than to live like a nun.

      Women are extremely conscious about other women’s feelings on an evolutionary basis. Whereas men compete via action, women compete via speech. An upper middle class man signals virtue for example by buying an electric car. There are hard physical limits that will prevent the practicality for men to demonstrate their virtue (because in the earlier example a man is going to recognize he needs to be able to drive more than 100 miles). The only limits for a women to demonstrate her virtue is how much time and lung capacity she has.

      Because virtue in modern times is determined by speech, and women are extremely conscious about other’s feelings, you get massive conformity among women in their virtue signaling to avoid being hurt or hurting another woman. However, since women want to increase their social status, not just maintain it, they must increase their virtue which leads to all the women feeling pressured to also increase their virtue at the same time.

      This problem gets compounded by the fact there are no modern mechanisms for limiting female virtue signaling spirals by putting their speech to a practical test. Can’t force women who claims to be virtuous to go live as a nun.

      On the topic of upper middle class women’s sexual morality. Many are quite loose. College educated women surpass coital rates of less educated women. Think almost Roman orgy levels of debauchery. They are not supper scared of STD because STDs are largely a lower class problem. Most are on the pill or similar. Most will never even have to worry about getting an abortion, but the thought that they might have to live with the consequences of sex when it is so easily given away is frightening. So on a deeply emotional level, upper middle class women are likely to support abortion the most even if they are the least likely to ever have to use it.

      • The Cominator says:

        “College educated women surpass coital rates of less educated women.”

        Maybe when they are in college if they are in lower tier “party” colleges, but girls in lower tier colleges don’t necessarily join the Karen brigade. The Karens aren’t hedonists at least not in a way that I ever saw even remotely… they are as someone said generally the church ladies of globohomo.

        “Can’t force women who claims to be virtuous to go live as a nun.”

        I would just burn them. I do not think nuns should exist either…

        As far as fanaticism in blue enclaves in red states… I think it depends. I don’t think its a big thing say here in Florida (Florida has a lot of rich people who openly and vocally hate leftists and moved here to not deal with them in power and put pressure the other way in upper class blue enclaves), in Austin Texas otoh yeah its a big thing.

        “STDs are largely a lower class problem.”

        STDs are a gay problem, I’m convinced they are very rare among heterosexuals…

        • Pax Imperialis says:

          All colleges with few exceptions are party colleges. Sexual debauchery increases with exclusivity of the college, not decreases. Consider the fact that being born into the upper middle class families almost guarantees going to higher tier colleges. Also most upper middle class high-school are practically scaled down versions of college with all the social attitudes that entails.

          Sexual permissiveness among the upper middle class is extremely high. A number of of my White friends in high-school had a dozen or so girl friends each during that time. They fucked most of them. Their fathers knew about it… and were supportive.

          Nearly all the popular girls in my high-school experience were in the Karen brigade. By the time they hit college, they were ready made to go protesting topless and taping their used menstrual pads to the walls of the women’s center. What’s going on is more than what the church ladies dynamic can explain. Church ladies are the way they are because they have dried up wombs and nothing better to do.

          Go to any American college in warmer climates, it’s more obvious there, and you’ll see nearly all the young and beautiful women wearing extremely skimpy clothes all the time, not just for sorority functions. You’ll see nearly all the women protesters are not dried up wombs, but are young and fertile women who fuck.

          Nuns are required to remind a high status women where she could end up… or least is was until it became an entirely voluntary thing. A living warning is a constant warning. A dead warning is frightening in the moment and soon forgotten until tested again. Both have their place.

          Much of the blue enclaves in red states are college campus enclaves which are really just upper middle class enclaves. A problem Florida has as well.

          “STDs are a gay problem, I’m convinced they are very rare among heterosexuals…”

          Sometimes I’m too polite to my own determent. By lower class I largely meant African Americans and those who are unfortunate to have to live with them. STDs are a huge problem in the black population and those who habitat with them. They are practically African tier rates (which shouldn’t be surprising considering they are African in origin). Upper middle class women love defending blacks, they rarely are willing to actually fuck them. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but when it does it tends to be with Mulatto Obama types. The sort that gets called Oreos.

          Class differences in womens sexual behavior are more or less trivial.

          • Pax Imperialis says:

            Wrong.

            Women’s sexual behavior is completely dependent on the permissiveness of the social environment. Massive class differences exist there.

            It’s predominately the upper middle class that gives their daughters birth control while they are still in high school. Lower class does not have that money, Upper class communities are largely isolated from STDs or have easy access to medical care. Lower class communities are not.

            What do you think happens when girls are given complete detachment from even the possibility of consequences from sex?

            What do you think those girl’s sexual behavior will be when they grow up to be adults with the massive stockpile of daddy’s money?

            That said… Class differences in women’s sexual desires are small enough to be trivial (measurable differences still exist).

            • Aidan says:

              Women do not give a damn about the consequences, and their pretending to care about the consequences of sex is a shit test. I had more women complain about the prospect of getting rawdogged when they were rich and on birth control. Refer to the pro-abortion protestors all being wealthy white women on the pill.

              The difference is in the quality of men. Working class men are more likely to apply four thousand year old measures to keep their relationships stable, thus when a working class woman says she has a boyfriend, she is more likely to mean it, and not get anywhere near your cock. So, working class women of a higher moral quality on average, because their men make them so. Nothing to do with the costs of having a baby

              • Pax Imperialis says:

                “Class differences in womens sexual behavior are more or less trivial.”

                “So, working class women of a higher moral quality on average, because their men make them so.”

                Which is it? Because what I’m saying is that women’s sexual behavior is completely dependent on the permissiveness of the social environment and that the upper middle class is not only failing to encouraging good behavior among their women, but is actively and extensively promoting bad behavior.

                My statements are not in conflict with your second statement, but they are in extreme conflict with your first.

                Women do give a damn about consequences because they give a damn about how men will deal with them in relation to their actions. You acknowledge as much with “Working class men are more likely to apply four thousand year old measures to keep their relationships stable.”

                What I’ve observed and experienced in the upper middle class American culture is that the fathers are largely extremely supportive of their daughter’s sexual misbehavior. That creates an environment of debauchery as the boys catch.

                “Nothing to do with the costs of having a baby”

                Wasn’t talking about the cost of having a baby. I mentioned the cost of birth control and the social effects it has. Namely the cost keeps the lower class more grounded to those “four thousand year old measures” in sharp contrast to the upper class which freely promote birth control among their children.

                Much of what I wrote is about the sheer and complete moral decay in the upper middle class and why that is responsible for the misbehavior of those rich white women in the public square. Hence why so many of the pro abortion protesters are rich white women,

                I’ll rephrase my questions.

                What message does a father give his daughter when he gives her liberal access to birth control during her high school years?

                What message is that father giving to all the boys in his daughter’s social sphere when he does that?

                Now what happens when nearly the entire upper middle class is doing that and then sending their daughters to college?

                Do you get the point I’m making? Financial restrictions of the lower class naturally prevents them from making those mistakes. The moral rot in the upper middle class is extensive.

                  Women are not future oriented in regard to impact of what they are doing now with Mister Very Wrong is likely to impact subsequent interactions with Mister Right, because in the environment of evolutionary adaptation, the successful female reproductive strategy is to be conquered and abducted by Mister Very Wrong.

                  They are very strongly impacted by social pressure, primarily the social pressure of other women, and in a society where men are emasculated and masculinity illegal, scarcely impacted by social pressure of males.

                  But even in societies where male authority was respected and enforced, men tended to follow a strategy where they arranged for the social circle of a young woman was dominated by older virtuous wives, indicating that social pressure from women matters a great deal everywhere at all times.

                  It’s been my observation, in rural communities with many families with many children and few divorces, the mothers and grandmothers put enormous pressure on each other and their daughters to marry a good provider early.

                  Teen girls still cruise for alpha and so do wives from time to time, but it’s far less than what you will see in a larger population. It is an entirely different social environment than what you would find on a college campus.

                  Most girls still marry their first and stay married, with lots of kids.

      The women are not upset about abortion, they are upset that their tribe, Harvard, no longer gets to dictate terms to people in Kentucky

      It takes about 5 min to change state law to permit abortion. A woman in a non abortion state has to drive at most 5 hours to get one. If she really really needs one, and is too lazy to drive or get any number of willing drivers, she can find a doctor in her hometown who will. Bc no one is actually going to say “no”. And no one is going to actually prosecute a doctor who saves a young girl from dealing with the consequences of her stupid decisions. And if they did, the pro choice advocates would LOVE it

        I was explicitly referring to the Trigger Laws going into effect in GOP controlled states. These are often political measure created and codified in a far more ritualistic and “sane” past.

They are probably not having conferences and building strategic plans, so they are acting in isolation, uncertain of what the other “prisoners” are going to do. Hence, real time multiplayer Prisoners Dilemma.

        The left is coordinated and proactive. While I still maintain that there’s no explicit centralized Control Entity, they are well situated to coordinate in taking advantage of events. A faggot judge pulls some silliness in Hawaii, and leftist actionistas take advantage and make moves. I don’t know if “cascade” or “feedback loop” is the proper term, but the net effect is that Cthulu swims left.

        So I was wondering if the rightward Governors were coordinating. “Hey, we’ve got these Trigger Laws going off, are you going to do so as well?” “Yeah, mos def my guy. We’re also going to mandate AR-15 ownership for all white males.” “That’s legit. We are going to enshrine marriage as a protected class.”

          Predictably, the Educational institution screamed bloody murder and predicted an apocalypse, but instead, apparently educational performance improved somewhat in Arizona.

              I suspect you’ll see another bigtime increase in homeschooling (the rates are well above 10% now), and a lot of whites will bail for private school options as well.

              I’m also guessing that an option will open up for the best 5% or so of public school teachers. Pick 15 or so students that you like fairly well and hang out your shingle for say 8000 per student per year (i.e. about 1000 per year higher so that parents feel they have skin in the game). Maybe make a joint business with one other teacher with complementary expertise.

      Moving to more comfortable territory, are you suggesting that me, a white man, feeling sympathy for, and a profound sense of heartbroken rage with, Slavic men on the wrong side of a stupid, avoidable war, is sympathy for the devil?

      I watched an Indian movie about Kargil not long ago. I actually kind of reviewed it with questions for the Dharmabros here, but it ended up feeling a bit dumb, so I didn’t post it. To me, that conflict seems like the silliest little nothing. One pack of browns playing at soldiers with equipment gifted to them by the Whiteman. But I would say that, with no skin in the game.

      i cower in shame and fear when I contemplate what has happened, what’s happening now, and what grows more likely to happen in the near future, all at the hands of my tribe. I guess Indians don’t carry the same historical shame as us; we’re about to waltz into the third time we’ve exsanguinated ourselves over planetary domination, and every time thus far, the bad guys mostly won. If you guys ever become 11% of the global population, do you think you’ll be on top?

      I just don’t see what’s wrong with empathy for even loose bloodkin. It’s not happening in the main stronghold, but it’s still happening, on top of South Africa and S. South America. I’m not arguing anything past that,but I do feel like you’re stirring up trouble. If you want to spar, we should do it in a different venue. I don’t know what, but not here.

        Of course you shouldn’t hesitate to Grasp The Nettle when the contingencies of history present you with such a lemma; but it is still a tragedy at the same time, to see men not unlike yourself ensorcelled by such contingencies; and a mind that would not see such states of affairs as tragedies would be one with problems – different kinds of problems, but still kinds of problems. Problems rather similar to those he needs to minecraft in the first place.

        Suones does this himself too, when he lamented the fact that azog glowwies fight for the sake of gay anal democracy. But all the same, he wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger either, no?

          Nor would I, and this is the Nettle Compact to which I ascribe and make the blanket assumption that all here do too. We have to work from common assumptions that may not necessarily port to the IRL. Hence my agreement with Jim’s removal, as well my responding to Suones posting elsewhere; it’s a worthy discussion unworthy of This place specifically.

      • This debate of the tragic necessity to kill kin in wartime is a very old debate, almost as old as “war” itself.

        My understanding of suones point, is that he said one should not allow misplaced sympathy for kin on the other side to dampen the morale of our own side. And he also believes that in many cases, Globohomo resorts to such demoralization tactics to weaken their enemies. Suones was simply pointing that out. Yes, we do feel pain when our kin on the other side die in a senseless war, but if we cannot turn them to our side before the war, what other option is left?

        On the point of it being an enemy meme, well, our Cominator also frequently expresses the absolute need for minecrafting what he defines as “Leftists” (many of whom will fall into the loose definition of kin, even normie kin) and maybe even closer kin than in the context suones has posted) and bear in mind this is not even during War in hot fighting, but after establishment of peace. And he hasn’t got censored for it though many people including Jim disagreed on the defintion of who is an enemy Leftist and who is actually a mere NPC and on scale of minecrafting suggested by Cominator.

        I am disappointed that Jim has chosen to allow his bias against suones from an earlier occasion to censor him on this occasion. Suones has never posted from the frame of being a western Reactionary and neither have I. We naturally have differing views at times from your own.

        • jim says:

          > My understanding of suones point, is that he said one should not allow misplaced sympathy for kin on the other side to dampen the morale of our own side.

          A perfectly valid point. But the problem is not Suones justification, but Krishna’s alarmingly nihilistic and demonic all purpose justification.

          Which I have already addressed at considerable length.

          To summarize that post in short: Spiritual detachment from this world may well be good and holy if you are a hermit in a hut in the wilderness living on locusts and wild honey, but is totally evil if you are acting in the world doing things that other people will not necessarily like. Especially if you are doing things that kin and friends may not like.

          A good person may well rightly do terrible and cruel things in righteous wrath, but if he does the same things in spiritual detachment, he is an evil person.

          • A lot of Hindus myself included don’t interpret spiritual detachment to be a core of Lord Krishna’s teachings. Bear in mind that there are a lot of later additions and misinterpretations in the Bhagavad Gita that are wrongly attributed to Krishna. It is nowhere interpreted by Hindus that Lord Krishna commands killing in cold blood even when required to do so. What Hindu dharma actually teaches is that one needs to overcome and master our base passions for spiritual advancement.

            I would also point out that the Pandavas actually did not absolutely kill their kin in cold blood but on the other hand, after the War they were overwhelmed by grief to the extent that Yudhisthira, the Eldest of the Pandavas, actually offered to hand over the reigns of the Empire to Duryodhana’s father, Dhritharashtra and go to the forest to meditate, which he was rightly dissuaded from doing.

            Nevertheless, I admit that you have different interpretation of our scriptures (and in my view a flawed one common among Western academics) and therefore am not going to press too hard on this debate.

            • jim says:

              > It is nowhere interpreted by Hindus that Lord Krishna commands killing in cold blood

              The problem is that his arguments are justification for killing even when one’s blood is cold. And one’s blood may well be cold for excellent reasons. As for example killing those near for some far abstract principle.

              • Like I said wrong interpretations. You must allow us to make similar distinctions when we interpret our scriptures in the manner that you make the worship of serpent-Christ in the name of Jesus distinct from and hostile to traditional Christianity.

                Arjuna who was the original recipient of Krishna’s wisdom and the Pandavas certainly didn’t kill their kin in cold blood and certainly great grief was felt by them after the war as is very clear in the Mahabharata.

                • alf says:

                  When we have disagreements pver scripture, it helps to use the scripture itself. Do you have a version of the baghavad vita, preferably English, that we can fall back on in such disputes?

                  Bear in mind that Hindu teachings were traditionally handed over from father to son, teacher to student orally. The written scriptures are compilations of the divine wisdom handed down from generation to generation. Translations tend to be imperfect.

                  But with that caveat these seem to be comprehensive sources.

                  Suones can correct me if my sources are flawed.

                  Krishna’s sermon to Arjuna very much leaves itself open to “wrong” interpretations. It is a general all purpose justification for doing terrible things without feeling personally involved or personally responsible.

                  Also, he industriously undermined patriarchy and the authority of the husband.

                • @alf,

                  For a reasonably short summary of the Mahabharata, you can read Rajaji’s “Mahabharata”:

                  https://www.amazon.in/Mahabharata-C-Rajagopalachari/dp/8172763689

                  Not sure it may be available where you live.

                  @jim,

                  Krishna’s teachings have to been interpreted with the entire story of the Mahabharata as the background.

                  SInce I know you would not agree with me on this, I am not going to push this debate too much.

                • jim says:

                  It really does not matter that Arjuna had arguable grounds for righteous rage or grim determination.

                  Krishna urged him to make war in spiritual detachment. This may well have resulted in Arjuna doing the right thing, but such a frame facilitates other people in other circumstances doing very wrong things. And doing the right thing in the wrong frame makes it considerably less right, for it correlates with doing very wrong terrible things in the same frame better than it correlates with doing terrible things for a very good reason.

                  The Brits conquered the Rajas because the Rajas would be busying murdering their brothers and cousins, and would call in the British to lend a hand. The British were disinclined to murder each other and call in the Rajas to lend a hand.

                  If you are spiritually detached, it is not you chopping someone up. It is the sword chopping someone up, and you are not responsible.

                • > Krishna urged him to make war in spiritual detachment.

                  Not to be seen in that light. Krishna was giving advise on Kshatriya Dharma in the context of a war that had become absolutely inevitable. During war, a soldier should absolutely not allow tears of sentiment to cloud his aim. And his hand while firing the gun should be steady. Krishna gave Arjuna this courage.

                  The interpretation of spiritual detachment is a later and false interpretation.

                  Proof of the spirit of Krishna’s advise is that after the War, all the Pandavas grieved for their fallen kin, which shows that they didn’t kill in spiritual detachment or cold blood.

I’d love to read a warrior’s take on needing to kill his kin that need killing — read about the ruddy-faced farmhand from Kansas. Also welcome — any friend of Anglin. But Western Aryans explicitly have to accept, or at least admit, the Aryan Nationalist frame. Christianity is allowed, of course, but it has to be Aryan Nationalist Christianity (Russian Orthodoxy, for example, ticks the second box, but is ambivalent about the first). I had assumed that “Jimian” Christianity meant the same, but I’ve been corrected.

              A general point: This is Jim’s place, so his rules apply.

              Over at my place, a Dharmic redoubt, we do not disrespect Honoured Elders, especially those who sacrificed their life in moving the needle rightwards, even by a millimetre, because to reverse the Leftist ratchet by even a single step is to break it.

              Any specific problems with National Socialism (there were a lot of them, but most of them fall on the side of them not doing enough good rather than doing evil) can be discussed, but not in a disrespectful way towards Uncle Adolf himself. Their worst sin was covetousness, but Uncle Adolf was personally blameless in this, and is not a Great Sin in the grand scheme of things. Henry VIII was also personally not a “good” man, but he did great things for England.

              Man for man, Wehrmacht was a better Army that Soviets by far and also than GAE. Better warriors, better prole soldaten. They had insufficient priestly support to counter Molochite priests, and were deluded into believing the “Church” would help them (same delusion as San Fransisco Franco).

              If you consider the conscript in the stahlhelm lying in a ditch with a Panzerschreck in the path of an advancing column of degenerates riding T-34s while your forefathers were bombing him, as your kin and brother, and are human enough to admit your mistake (even as Patton and Rockwell could), then (and only then) you have the right to have sympathy for Globohomo foot soldiers. If you oppose the Jewish Nuremberg doctrine that hanged a lot of good men, then you may visit my place.

              An allegedly Western Aryan man who won’t even accept kinship with his own, white, Saxon, race is not a man I want to speak to. Any verbiage regarding “kinship” from such a man will be taken as priestly squid ink to demoralise my own prole soldaten, and he will be quickly introduced to my friends Webley and Scott. Any Eastern man with such views will not be given the benefit of doubt and will go straight to my elephant safari.

                This is unresponsive to my criticism of Hitler, whose central core is that he was socialist, and the crisis of socialism created logistic chaos during the invasion of Russia. It was not that they were out of spiritual support, but that they were out of gas.

                Papen’s criticism of Nazism is right on the money – the problem was that they were too close to communism. And it bit them at the worst possible moment.

                • suones says:

                  We’ve been at this before, so I’ll just summarise: Uncle Adolf needed a command economy to militarise immediately under threat of a Soviet invasion. So he gave Goering the go-ahead. WWII was fought by Soviet command economy, Anglo command economy, German command economy, Japanese Imperial economy, and the Great US-General Motors command economy run by the likes of Charles Wilson. The only reason Germany lost was literally because it didn’t have the scale to match the others, even given their extremely higher efficiency.

                  Loss against Soviets was because Uncle Adolf was blinded by his advisors, and failed to make a pact with the Empires of Japan and China. Our Dear Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose literally experienced this first-hand. The “Axis” only existed in GAE propaganda — Germany didn’t even have a strategy for the Pacific, or Asia. Western hostilities should have ceased after France had befriended Germany, and a joint German-Japanese-Chinese siege should have been mounted to squeeze Stalin[1]. US Navy was overpowered even then, but it didn’t have the ability to project power in both Atlantic and Pacific theaters against German and Japanese Navies simultaneously.

                  Once they had access to Russian gas and Iranian oilfields, the War was essentially become a stalemate, and final results would depend on who made the first functional nuclear weapon.

                  Papen was a Catholic (lol) backstabber who betrayed everyone he could, including the Army, Hindenburg, and Hitler, who finally managed to turn the tables on to him. The very fact that he was acquitted at Nuremberg, and not hanged with the German patriots, proves his guilt. His squid ink is not worth the paper it is spilled on.

                  [1] German propaganda was also sabotaged by anti-Slav messaging rather than anti-Soviet-Red-traitor-Czar-Killer-Jew messaging. GAE propaganda was always miles better, whether the Canadian soldier being crucified by Germans in WWI or others.

                • jim says:

                  > Uncle Adolf needed a command economy to militarise immediately under threat of a Soviet invasion.

                  He was in no danger of Soviet invasion. It was obvious at the time, and we now have the Russian records.

                  In war, there is a case for short term socialism, because you are worried about grabbing stuff today, and not worried about having nothing to grab tomorrow. But the crisis of socialism, running out, happened just as he started the Soviet invasion. He was not applying socialism for military reasons, but shooting himself in the foot just before preparing for marathon.

                  You can make a pretty good case for going socialist during the Soviet invasion. But going socialist well in advance is a triumph of the holy faith of leftism over reality.

          Suones was censored, it looks like, for disingenuous argument, not for failing to adhere to the positions of western reactionaries.

          Jim accuses Hinduism of spiritual detachment for evil reasons. We are very familiar with evil spiritual detachment, because repudiating the material world manifested in the West as gnosticism. I see evil spiritual detachment among Hindus today. You are disturbingly acquiescent to the depraved conditions created by the underclass. You let your sacred river flow with trash, corpses, and shit. Whether Krishna’s advice is official doctrine or not, whether it is consciously interpreted as such or not, there is a line of continuity between it and India’s current problems.

          We are familiar with evil spiritual detachment because we are forced to practice it. When I walk in the city, and my woman and I are harassed for money by a dirty bum, I am scary enough to make him fuck off, but what I want and need is to bury an axe in his temple, and it is in fact evil for me not to do so. Where as I feel that in India, a mob of god-fearing Hindus could beat some dalit nigger to death for dumping his trash in the Ganges, but they don’t. In fact, when we discussed street shitting, the attitude of the Hindu commenters was broadly one of spiritual detachment. Not as evil as spiritual detachment towards killing kin, but related in essence.

Our righteous anger at the situation is forcibly suppressed since India is not ruled by Hinduism. I think that’s an important point you guys miss.

                  Well, he cleaned up the faggots and the trannies, who were then as now transexualizing children. He dramatically cleaned up art, architecture, movies, and fashion. Regardless of Hitler’s personal talents as an artist, good art and great art flourished under the Nazis, while Weimar suffocated good art then the same way it is being suffocated today. But he built no Cathedrals.

                  He made some good noises on the role of woman, but was disinclined to actually do much – his leftism got him, and that he was blue pilled got him.

                  And he moved the needle disastrously far leftwards on the economy, which was the major factor in Germany’s disastrous defeat.

                • Yes, socialism was the main problem of National Socialism.

                  Yes, he was also a Leftist, but I believe while he may not have moved the needle significantly rightward, being a Nationalist Leftist he opposed the Globalist Leftists (now Globohomo) tooth and nail, though his eventual defeat led to their victory.

                  Deeper within, Hitler didn’t truly believe himself to be the Divine Monarch and hence, prone to self-doubts at crucial moments

                • skippy says:

                  Hitler was genuinely right wing, as you can see by reading his speeches and his books. He thinks the state should care for the people, and he doesn’t trust or understand the joint stock corporation (this is less Nazi than simply German), but he advocates aristocracy seeing it based in natural law and the actual state of the natural world. NS was not socialist in the way most will understand socialism.

                  Hitler rode a populist wave to power, and then crushed it in power. He crushed the SA and wound up the mass rallies. He created a state and an elite.

                  The real virtue of Hitler is unknown and unknowable, a counter-factual, the world as it is compared to the world as it would have been with no Nazi Germany.

                  Nazi Germany llost, but Weimar was the handmaiden of the USSR, and the USSR was meant to take over the world. After Barbarossa that spell of historical inevitability was broken, and so many Soviet young men had been killed that it no longer had the physical capacity to conquer its neighbors, whatever it or its apologists may have claimed.

                  I believe that Hitler kicked the soul of Marxism, the Marxism of that time, and broke its sword, and only now 80 years later does it have the social power in the greatest of states that it had in 1932.

                  I’d not considered the perspective that the Wehrmacht broke Soviet power in terms of global dominance capacity before. There’s definitely an argument to be made there. But we recently had an extensive and, at times, rancorous, debate regarding which -wing National Socialism was, and honestly is, with the consensus being decidedly Left. Yarvin’s contention (Nazi as crypto right-wing) was pretty soundly trumped. Here is, in my opinion, the most efficiently stated case, in terms of time: https://youtu.be/9-SLqdhkvJo

                  For more substantial points, refer to the Comments debate on this site (apologies, unable to locate and link ATT). On to the Needle. Any movement thereof by Hitler and his party must be judged in context to the formation of the GAE, thus, with possible exception of your assertion that the Eastern Front gutted international Marxism, it seems clear that he and they did far more evil than good. Counterfactuals are historical pornography, but just imagine how much better everything might be had Nazi Germany not aggressively expanded to deal with their stupid socialist organization methods. Of every sin laid at the door of Hitler’s Party, the creation of the GAE is the biggest and worst.

                  How much have you read of the original German sources (in translation or otherwise)? Hitler speeches, Hitler books, books by people like Rosenberg and Eckart? Goering?

                  Almost all discussions of NS in English only look at external appearances and commentaries in English, because the original sources are too toxic to quote under your real name.

                  I don’t think NS is crypto right. I think it’s openly far right. Whereas reactionism can be defined as an attempt to restore or prop up the old aristocracy, NS was an attempt to create a new aristocracy. This is further right, because an aristocracy that stands on middle class cruches is not an aristocracy.

                  The NS probably wanted to boot back to a time before Jim’s 17th century Restoration optimum, to the read feudal ages, and opposed the joint stock corporation. That’s a weakness but it was not a weakness based on Marxian labor theory of value.

                  I think Nazi Germany signed the M-R Pact primarily to secure the Romanian oil reserves rather than to prop up a failing socialist economy. I also don’t see any other solution to that problem.

                  Hitler’s greatest sin was losing. And he lost in large part because of socialism

                  Nazism was left wing movement. Supporting Nazism is not going to solve the problem. It is just a competing brand of leftism.

                  Similarly, look at the Nazis in the Ukraine. The GAE rather likes them, because it realizes that internationalist leftism is incapable of fighting wars effectively. It is happy if a brand of leftism defeats Russia.

                  Putin builds a Cathedral, and suddenly Ukrainian Nazis are no longer deemed the embodiment of evil.

                  Hitler did not do anything significant about female emancipation, and Ukrainian Nazis are not doing anything significant about the Gay Parade.

                  Wilson was definitely the architect of the GAE, but FDR actually built and operated it, and Hitler’s shortsightedness gave it legitimacy. Had Hitler not declared war and curtailed unrestricted submarine warfare, the Europe First policy would have been DOA. FDR was itching for a fight, and Hitler gave him an excuse. Hitler did some things wrong, the biggest of which was losing. Sometimes, a loss is the result of a single critical event or decision, but more often it is a causal chain. Hitler’s socialism doomed his nation.

                • skippy says:

                  This is an excerpt from a speech Hitler gave in the film “Triumph of the Will”:

                  “As a Party, we have to remain in the minority because we wanted to mobilize the most valuable elements for struggle and sacrifice who, at all times, have not been the majority but a minority.

                  “And because these most valuable specimens of the German race, in proud self-confidence, cool and brave, demanded the leadership of the country and the people, in ever greater numbers the people have yielded and subordinated themselves.

                  “The German people are fortunate to know that endless flux of leadership has been replaced by a steady pole.”

                  This is essential rightism and spiritually incompatible with leftism. This statement could not be made not only by Lenin, or Biden, but also not by the US founding fathers.

                  To be right wing does not require that one is correct about every policy and decision.

                • skippy says:

                  It’s fair to complain that Germans didn’t win the war because in the end winning is all that counts.

                  However, it is not fair to say that the outcome decides who had better policies and approach. The Germans were always facing >2x industrial output and >4x population. They had to be better, and much better, to win.

                  You could say, then they should not have tried. OK, but consider the situation in 1932. Weimar with no army and tranny clinics in Berlin was just waiting to get stomped by the Soviets. The NSDAP were not secure incumbents, they were desperate men fighting for their lives.

                  I don’t see how that speech excerpt proves that National Socialism was not socialist ideology with nationalistic parameters. I just don’t see the Nazis as right-wing. They were revolutionary in nature and character. If it has been right wing, they would have reinstituted the monarchy, or at least gone with monarchical forms. Compared to international Marxism, definitely less than Left. But leftward they remained. The only right-wing faction in the War of Progressive Aggression was Nippon.

                  This is the antithesis of leftism and all demotism stated in a few words; the superficial *external* resemblance between a people obeying their nobles and a democratic movement is as misleading as to argue that the Bolsheviks weren’t a left wing movement because they were composed of a small vanguard and never won an election. The means are not the ends.

                  Their view on the monarchy and the old aristocracy was that it had failed Darwin’s test and ceased to be an aristocracy. A further right view than that the monarchy should be “restored” (how many people ever “restored” a superior authority and then truly submitted to it?).

And to try the revers, from a democracy to a republic, as you claim Hitler wanted, well, it’s just plain impossible. You never get an ‘elite with superior traits’.

That is presumably the reason why the cultural leader of the NSDAP, Alfred Rosenberg, spoke of a conservative revolution. From this there emerge in the field of politics the following clear conclusions: The time of emancipation of the lowest social orders against the higher orders is past.”

                But lacking Priestly guidance, nazism falls back on leftwing morality as it lacks memetic sovereignty and priestly right wing guidance. This is why nazis are vulnerable to be influenced by left wing attack on merchants for instance: like blaming merchants for importing cheap immigrant labour and losing jobs.

Watching a trannie speak on an entirely neutral topic in software engineering I got the compelling feeling that I was watching an animated corpse, whose soul had been devoured or dragged to hell quite a long time ago, and the empty corpse was now being operated, not very well, by a demon in hell speaking through a microphone and dragging a mouse over a keypad. (The demon, if demon it was, was an adequate software engineer)

      I have always considered enemy faith demon infested, whether the demons are real or metaphorical. A meme system that spreads at the expense of its adherents can be usefully modeled as demon.

        But abortion is disproportionately used by inner city blacks (with a strong statistical tendency to grow up criminal), and advocated / defended by progressive whites. Has been since Margaret Sanger. Which makes it into a subtle and deniable race war.

        Which is why I don’t object to abortion being legal.

        I have never observed abortion being deployed against a child conceived by quality people.

        Some population projections I’ve seen claim that in the absence of Roe, North America would’ve turned majority black by now. Preventing that nightmare is worth a notable amount of blood.

          There are two important and terrifyingly common cases.

          The wife aborts a wanted child of her husband over her husband’s wishes, because muh career.

          The chick gets banged by a good man, because she gets tired of waiting for Jeremy Meeks next boot call, aborts the child of the good man, who would like to keep her around to raise his child, in case Jeremy Meeks sends her a second booty call.

I’d pay good money to some rightwing activist to go to pro-babymurder rallies and ask every woman he met to share their kill count. I predict the blacks would score (3x), the whites would score x, the latinas and asians would be (x-1). But the vast majority of those questioned would refuse to answer, as always falling back on the femininity privilege they love to use and pretend doesn’t exist.

      Well from a certain POV it looks like billionaires run the Democratic party.

      The problem is they are hedge fund guys who make money on inside information given to them by the state department and possibly intelligence agencies like Sussman, Soros and Tom Steyer (Soros and Sussman are jews, Steyer is a mischlinge). Sussman and Soros both primarily makes bets on instability in other countries with other peoples money… sounds like Steyer does too but its less clear (distrissed assets). As far as being a true believer Steyer seems worse than the other two given that he apparently never shutsup about green energy whereas Sussman keeps a low profile and Soros speaks in vague generalities on most things and his specific economic theory that he did write a book about is his economic theory that mass investor psychology can at least in the short term drive changes in fundamentals is probably correct (theory of reflexivity)…

      So the billionaire oligarchs really do the run the Democrats and the state theory would seem to fit if they were all true believing fanatics like Steyer… but homosexuals being sacred to some ancient Hungarian Jew (who may be many evil things but isn’t a faggot) like Soros doesn’t make much sense. Soros clearly looks like an intelligent bagman for that and other reasons Jim has gone over… Sussman likewise as I’ve never heard of him speaking much in public at all (and true believers generally can’t resist opprotunities to run their mouth). Steyer looks very much like a true believer but he wanted the nomination and didn’t come close.

      So it looks like these guys have a symbiotic relationship with the Democratic party and the US government where they make lots of money but they have to give back and they don’t really get to run the Democratic party.

          What we are seeing with many billionaires is their affirmation and pursuit of holiness. Should they become recognizable as ordained priests of the left, something Gates is well on his way of doing, they will have all the advantages of those weirdos who never earned a buck will with the full command of entire industries at their command.

They are 90% control freak prima donnas and the only way to dissuade them from stupid ideas is to fanatically insist what they do just absolutely can’t work because of obscure technical reasons he doesn’t understand (which is what people who dealt with Hitler generally said was generally the only way to back him down on things)…

        Hitler spent most of his time pre war going over architectual models with Speer all other tasks involved in running the Reich was secondary to architectural planning, during the war he couldn’t do this nearly as much but he still spent a fair amount of time with architectural plans.

        Hitler’s art was not imaginative, which is interesting because

        1. his politics was very imaginative

        2. I’ve never found any writing or other statement by him condemning artistic innovation or arguing that art must be “realistic”

        If art doesn’t have any aspect of feeling or the divine then it is prose, not art, and Hitler’s better paintings do have some aspect of feeling and the divine.

        Hitler does point out that Jews and leftists were deliberately marketing ugly and morally corroding art as genius to make money and mock German culture, which was true, but doesn’t explain why Hitler’s art wasn’t more interesting.

        Hitler just was not a great artist, and not because of persecution. I think he realized he was not a great artist which is why he ended up sleeping in until 11am every day and painting for pocket money. When he realized he was a great politician, he put his life into it.

          More human than human? I have ancestors in ancient Argos, and in my best shape I looked uncannily like the Riace bronzes. Just looking at them is a spiritual experience. Quibbling on the art historian side, the Greek art was better described as perfect realism; there was nothing transcendental about them. It was the Renaissance artists that introduced the transcendental, and the Greeks rather than the Germans that had an autistic obsession with perfect recreation

          • Pax Imperialis says:

            By surpassing the common human experience by pursuit of the human ideal to the extreme one becomes more human than human. It becomes transcendental while remaining human.

            Greek art is a pursuit of the Pagan Greek human ideal to the extreme. It’s not perfect realism. Big chests (Big Manly Thumos), reasonably toned abs (A tamed Eros), and well shaped heads (A mastered and well crafted logos). There’s a philosophical message in the art that by mastering all three one becomes something more. That is a pagan transcendentalism.

            The Renaissance artists introduced Christian transcendentalism and divinity to the Greco Roman art style.

            The Germans are… well they are Germans. Their humor is… fairly German. They can’t cross a street unless the signal light says so… even if there is absolutely no traffic. Hitler’s art captures that spirit to the extreme. Unfortunately for Hitler’s art career, few have Germanic sensibilities which means the art largely falls flat much in the way German humor is not exactly popular.

    There is no such thing as “Mohammedanism”.

      The word Mohammedanism is symmetric with the word Christianity. You follow Mohammed, we follow Christ. The word “Islam” presupposes that Mohammedanism is true, and Christianity false.

      The Alawite tactic of having an outer religion that is superficially compliant, an inner religion that is considerably less compliant, and an innermost religion that is deeply secret, is one that in a long dark age we may well have to adopt. Their inner religion has bronze age roots, which makes it likely that their secret innermost religion maintains Bronze age social technology. If we have to form a priesthood on the same principles, our innermost secret religion will have as its sexual morality the sexual morality of the old testament, our outer religion will be cucked post Christianity, our inner religion Christianity, and our secret innermost religion old type Christianity with continuity with the Bronze Age social technology preserved by Moses and the priesthood of Aaron. As commanded by Saint Paul, our priesthood will be recruited from married men who have raised well behaved children. But this presupposes that our civilization collapses and our race vanishes, which I would rather avoid.

      • Muhammad Izadi says:

        Thanks for replying.

        “You follow Mohammed, we follow Christ.”

        The term “Mohammedanism” presumes that Muslims worship Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) or associate divine attributes with him.

        He is the final messenger of Allah. Like other prophets of Allah, he is infallible.
        However, he is not a deity.

        The word “Islam” does not point to any personality, tribe, or geographical spot. It means submission to Absolute Reality (Al Haqq).

        The one who submits is called a “Muslim”.

        • jim says:

          Which presupposes that you are submitting to God, we are not (and that therefore war should ensue within “months”, “months” being plausibly and reasonably interpreted in context as meaning as soon as it looks like there is a chance of it being safe to do so. And Christian mercy and forgiveness following victory is always interpreted as weakness presaging a chance.)

          Calling it Mohammedanism does not imply you worship Mohammed. It merely implies you follow Mohammed, who was inspired by demon, real or metaphorical.

          We know it was a demon, whether a real spirit speaking from without, or Mohammed’s own evil speaking from within which he conveniently heard as voice without, because it lied and was inconstant, with new revelations superseding old revelations when the old revelations became inconvenient.

          We and old type Mohammedans, such as Talibanic Muslims, are temporarily allies, and I don’t wish to have a quarrel when we both face an extremely powerful enemy faith that intends to rule the world, and has very nearly accomplished it. But Mohammedan alliances are always temporary. During the Lebanon civil war each of a dozen factions was at some point at war with each of the others.

          We and new type Mohammedans, who have made a modus vivendi with globo homo, are enemies right now.

          Which kind of Mohammedan are you? If you are reading this blog, very possibly old type, in which case we should postpone our quarrel till globohomo is defeated. Or, possibly, you are a shill. I have seen some shills, not very many, shilling for new type Mohammedanism. I am not sure whether they are paid by a new type Mohammedanism government, or paid by globohomo to converge Mohammedanism. If a shill, let us have this quarrel right now. Demanding that people use enemy words is a globohomo tactic, suggestive of a globohomo shill.

          If someone is a Christian, “Islam” is an enemy word, while “Mohammedan” an entirely polite alternative that does not carry any hostile implications. “Islam” carries implications deeply hostile, murderously hostile, to Christians, Christianity, and Christ, and no Christian should use that word.

          If you are an old type Mohammedan, you should be perfectly comfortable with non Mohammedan temporary allies using their preferred word, at least if they clarify the meaning so that there is no hostile intent. If a globohomo shill, you will demand that your enemies use your language, to carry your meanings and your intent into enemy minds.

          If a globohomo shill for new type Mohammedanism, you will not be able to do so. You will be only able to criticize globohomo with language that maintains careful ambiguity as to whether you are attacking those horrid racist redneck bearded Christians in the swamps, or the frighteningly powerful people in tall towers in Washington, New York, and Massachusetts.

I care whether you are what you say you are or are in bed with the common enemy of Christians and Mohammedans, and you explaining at length in a courteous and friendly fashion that you are not hostile Christians makes me more suspicious, not less that, that you are in fact hostile not only to Christians, but also to Mohammedans.

      The suicidal war faction is strongest in the Core GAE, but merely factionally represented in the periphery. It is not the strongest faction either, which is why there is succesful opposition to it.

      Both Mearsheimer and MacGregor have called out what’s happening, but either crimestop or normality bias precluded them from putting together Cause and Effect: if Russia begins to decisively lose in Ukraine, they will likely resort to nuclear weapons; the US has made it explicitly known that their main goal is for Russia to lose decisively.

      The suicidal war faction of the State Department wants Russia to use nuclear weaponry because they believe it will give them carte blanche to force their disease laden soft power cock into Russian society on the heels of a hard power incursion. They need the justification to act with a free hand, and they believe the deployment of nuclear weapons is the perfect casus belli.

This is a precedent dating back many centuries in Europe. Thus far, I don’t believe we’ve seen this occurring. It may happen soon, and I could be wrong, but if it were happening, Russia would be countering. There are large Russian speaking enclaves in all of the Balts. Should they, or Moldova or Romania, start sending volunteer companies or regiments, we’d be seeing 5th column actions by Spetznas.

      1. Before the 2016 election the evidence of the center was weak, since 2020 the existence of a conspiracy of the Alex Jones type is obvious. You still don’t know exactly what the center is… but you know its there.

      2. The way this article characterizes the center is incorrect

      “It is “decentralized” in the sense that there’s no single center directing action, but rather multiple competing groups jockeying for power and influence while the controlling center provides the marketplace”

      No no 2020 proved it really was some small SPECTRE like cabal at the top. Though I expect the WEF is just a frontgroup for it (that Klaus Schwab looks a lot like Blofeld/Dr Evil is not a coincidence).

      “These misconceptions all stem from a very wrongheaded idea about markets and commerce — that somehow they arise “spontaneously” and are not top-down. In reality, there is no such thing as a non-palace economy, as all commercial or productive activities depend on the framework and infrastructure which can only be provided by the sovereign”

      Trade does not depend on the government really… only scaling trade and property beyond what you can defend yourself does.

      3. This is another one of the stupid “blame the merchants” articles.

      “Far more than the simple peasant, the high financier and wealthy merchant depend on the king’s whims, his money, his standards, his soldiers and policemen, his courts, his roads, his economic power as a guarantor of their solvency, and his diplomatic clout insofar as they trade abroad. For the most part, they don’t mind this”

      Now this is true but he makes it out like the merchants control this… and merchants don’t mind this too much when the king just wants them to kickup a small %. When the kingpriest wants the merchant to cut his balls off though they do mind.

        Dont see them minding see them offering to pay for ball cutting and abortion vacations. See them firing whites and hiring muds see them selling poison a whole multitude of poisons. Seems when you’re in deep with deep things go we’ll laws get passed that keep completion developing and you get trainloads of freshly printed fiat and don’t pay taxes. They may not be shot callers like the Jews but they are enforcers for the Jew. Never cared for AJ but he seems to have been pretty much right about everything. Trade even actual capitalism is not corporatism even corporatism would be ok if Jews didn’t want us dead and enslaved.
        If you examine what is seemingly insane about our leaders choices it only isn’t insane if you hate and fear white people but are not strong enough to defeat them head on so need muds to back you up. Because if that wasn’t the crux of the matter all the other stuff could be had by simply letting the muds die off instead they breed and import them knowing full well they’re useless mouths. The merchants betray us because they understand the plan is to take the whites property and launder it through the muds who will give it to the so called capitalists so more iPhones are moved capitalist are never long term thinkers. The Jews certainly are.

But it is not so well armored as Andrew Anglin’s identity, so hard to say what would happen.

      • ExileStyle says:

        A big refutation. Though no time to relax, as these sly jackals will do anything in their power to resume unfettered celebration of their central sacrament. The DOJ might simply go rogue now, as they have already suggested they will do with gun control.

        Also important to note that this was a 6-3 decision in the end, so credit to Roberts for not being intimidated by the leak. I suspect he, the consummate “institutionalist,” concurred in the end in no small part as a sign that the court will not be so easily intimidated.

      • notglowing says:

        Although I am certainly happy about this, as this has been propped up as a big holy cow for the left, I can’t help but consider it a small victory.

        The fact it took so many decades to overturn it, which should’ve been much easier, speaks volumes of how irredeemable the American judiciary is.

        This isn’t even banning abortion after all. It’s overturning a perverse interpretation of the constitution that somehow maintains that the document confers an absolute right to abortion. How obviously stupid is that? It’s a low hanging fruit. And it’s one of the less controversial things for right wingers to support.

        Now abortion is still effectively legal, women just have to travel longer to have it done, considering many states will never ban it. Given they have 9 months this is more of a psychological victory for the right (and ought to be celebrated as such) than a real change in direction.

        Leftists maintained some absolute right to abortion with no restriction for decades on this incredibly shaky foundation, because they knew legislative action to enshrine it into law would have meant compromising with republicans, and making abortion more restricted, much like it generally is in Europe.

          Shows the enemy can bleed, on the most public of all stages.

          It doesn’t matter whether you think abortion is a big deal. The point is, the left DOES think that. It’s a huge deal to them, and everyone knows it. And they were not able to stop this from happening.

          “Fear will keep the local systems in line,” says Tarkin, “fear of this battle station.” Then the rebels destroy it in front of the whole galaxy. This happened – let’s suppose for the sake of argument – while the Death Star was headed to destroy some target that had little military value. The value of that target is not the point. The point is that their invincible untouchable death machine just got ass-raped on the world stage.

            Self-doubt can be a very healthy thing, not necessarily a paralyzing nightmare of indecision. Every honest man knows self-doubt and how to deal with it in a healthy manner. It’s high time for a large chunk of globohomo drones to at least be introduced to this concept.

        • ExileStyle says:

          No, this matters a lot. As Thomas points out in his opinion, contraception, gay marriage, and sodomy laws were all decided with the exact same reasoning as Roe, and with Roe as precedent.

          Also keep in mind that should Republicans retake congress, they could ban abortion nationally. Their hands are no longer tied. Whether they will do it is another question; the fact now is they can. And this is the only real issue Republicans are totally consistent and uncompromising on.

          It also matters in terms of how the left responds. They will definitely try to simply ignore the Supreme Court from now on, paint it as illegitimate, attempt to pack it or just dispense with it entirely. Their success or failure and overall approach to that could determine the timing, intensity, and shape of Civil War II, and who ends up ruling this nation.

          This is a big deal. Let’s not be too cynical. Let’s also not forget about the innocent human souls being saved from trash compactors and the human organ trade market, too. This is a win.

          • The Cominator says:

            “Also keep in mind that should Republicans retake congress, they could ban abortion nationally.”

            Republicans would need to clear up the vote fraud to have any hope of retaking the Senate, and if they cleared up the vote fraud they would have to ask themselves whether a national ban on abortion would be popular and it absolutely would not be and if you think it would be you’re nuts (except for late term abortions). Republican voters vote Republican because Democrats intrude in their lives more with stupid policies and are more likely to ruin the economy (I mean if they aren’t named Bush) not because they want them to intrude on them more in this one case.

            I believe the ruling is that this is a state issue.

            The problem with abortion is also woman’s right to choose… not that it exists. Abortion should be husband and father’s right to choose.

          • jim says:

            No they cannot. The ruling is that it is an issue for the separate states. It is a state issue.

              They could withhold all highway funding and other sorts of funding from any state that didn’t put a 360 day waiting period on abortions. At least assuming that the Supremes aren’t willing to go there on the Commerce clause and States ‘not being raped, merely seduced’ decisions.

                  Either way would be a big win. And you could make the imposition less extreme than the 360 day waiting period, which I chose for a deliberate reducto.

            • ExileStyle says:

              Of course they can. This ruling does not effect that directly, but it enables it. Congress can legislate whatever it likes. If Congress can mandate seatbelts or outlaw marijuana or prohibit murder they can outlaw abortion. This is the next step.

              • jim says:

                Congress does no end of illegal and unconstitutional things. A federal ban on abortion would, however be different, because in this case the constitution would be backed. It will be considered, in order to excite the base, and then go nowhere.

                • ExileStyle says:

                  I don’t disagree that they likely *would* not do it, but they absolutely *could* if they wanted to. This is Civics 101. The whole point of this ruling is pointing out that there is no constitutional right to abortion. So no constitutional violation would be committed in outlawing abortion.

                  The legislative branch is fully within its rights to legislate something like that, or really anything else. It’s not something you’d even see floated unless Rs had a 60+ super-majority in the senate, but all sorts of things are possible.

                  Do your homework.

                  The question addressed in this case is whether the separate states have the right to legislate on abortion.

                  If the feds have authority to legislate, the democrats could just make it legal up to twelve months after conception. If the feds do not have authority to make it legal, they do not authority to make it illegal.

                  Roe vs Wade was a workaround for the problem the the feds did not have that the authority.

                  Oh you’re doing the personhood thing. Ambigious if the federal government has the right to define personhood, they won’t do this though.

                  Personhood referendums (and this was before they rigged the elections) consistently fail to pass even in deep deep red states. Repealing Roe v Wade and limiting abortions is somewhat popular. Outright papist style conception bans on abortions are not popular.

                  I’m not going to harp on this any more after this, but you are wrong, and plainly and on the face of it wrong. There simply is no argument here. I can’t help wilful ignorance of basic lawmaking, but maybe some current or future pro-life lawmaker is reading this.

                  Compare pp. 2-3 of Kavanaugh’s opinion (pp. 125-124 of linked document):

                  On the question of abortion, the Constitution is therefore neither pro-life nor pro-choice. The Constitution is neutral and leaves the issue for the people and their elected representatives to resolve through the democratic process in the States or Congress—like the numerous other difficult questions of American social and economic policy that the Constitution does not address.

                  In fact, unborn children are already protected under federal law (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1841) and people can be and often are prosecuted for murdering unborn children—just not abortionists or mothers. You just start prosecuting the abortionists and mothers, too.

                  Also, whether it is possible and whether it is probable are two completely different questions. I’m not sure how to explain that basic feature of reality, nor how to “convince” you of something that is simply a basic matter of fact.

                • jim says:

                  Your points are simply irrelevant, because they are all irrelevant the issue that caused Roe in the first place: That regulating abortion is a state power, not a federal power, and the feds did not like the way some states regulated it.

                  It was made a constitutional right to get around the state rights question. Making it not a constitutional right returns us to the status quo ante.

                  The radical faction (the squad) thinks that the Republicans cannot be allowed to win anything.

                  But, contrary to my confident prediction, the faction actually in power is not signing on to this. It is not exactly signing off from this, but is signaling an intent to let cuckservatives win the house, but not the senate or the presidency, and to not allow any more Maga candidates to win pre-selection in the Republican party. Since Trump is a Maga candidate, this program, if carried out in full, will produce a hilarious presidential primary in 2024.

                  Nor is it entirely committed to allowing cuckservatives to win the house. It is dithering.

                  The problem, which it does not quite know how to deal with, is that any election that does not result in the Republicans in full control is likely to be a bit far fetched. The gerontocrats and kleptocrats want normality, and do not know how to get there. The radicals want the immanentize the eschaton, and think they can get there by eliminating whites. Those in control are weak and confused, because they know that they do not know, while the radicals are full of strength, certainty, and passion, because they think they do know. It is therefore likely, that as the 2022 election approaches, the gerontocrats and keptocrats will give the order “steal in moderation, a narrow cuckservative victory in the house, all maga candidates to lose, and a close senate”, and to their surprise what will actually be done will be considerably more radical.

Because no one in the west has the morale or industrial capacity to fight a war like this.

    Maybe even NATO’s paradigm of air supremacy is now put into question. After all the Russian airforce can’t freely roam the skies yet, even with the limited air defenses of the Ukrainians. So what’s the likelihood of NATO airforce routing a more sophisticated air defense network like Russia’s?

(Eg, this is an illustrative abstract https://csbaonline.org/uploads/documents/Crossroads_presentation_-_Web.pdf )

      For everyone else outside residual circles like these running the clown show, it’s less that they are wrong about these issues, and more like they haven’t even thought of them at all.

    • jim says:

      Both sides are learning that the art of war has changed.

      Air supremacy is no longer a thing.

      Two rather small groups of Ukrainian troops are now surrounded. It may be quite a while before they surrender. By that time there may well be considerably larger groups surrounded.

      The Ukraine successfully turned it into a grueling World War I style war, which is intolerable form of warfare, for even the winner is exhausted.

      The Russians are trying to find a way to win that bypasses attrition. But so far, have wound up doing attrition.

      Tanks are no longer tanks. They are mobile artillery, and I see no reason why mobile artillery should not be mounted in technicals rather than tanks. The tanks hide behind grunts, for fear of anti tank weapons, rather than charging out in front of grunts as in World War II.

      But, tanks and mobile artillery are vulnerable to drones. Both sides are figuring out the new hierarchy of warfare.

      In world war I, it took ten thousand shells to kill one grunt. But with drones observing, one shell one grunt. This should make World War I style attritive warfare a non starter, and yet it continues.

      One would expect the side attempting to fight an attritive World War I war to suffer terrible casualties, and we have some reason to suppose the Ukes are suffering terrible casualties. The continuation of attritive warfare may reflect the typical desire of Jewish rulers to genocide their goy subjects. Or it may be working. The Russians are advancing at a creep, with lots of failures and gaining an unimpressive amount of territory in each expensive success. So far, by this measure, it is working. On the other hand, we have seen some substantial collapses by demoralized Ukrainian troops. Maybe as attrition continues, there are going to be some rather larger collapses.

      • Karl says:

        How expensive are Russian successes? I have not seen any data on Russian losses.

        If one side has grunts in trench, and the other side has artillery losses might be rather one-sided

      • Jehu says:

        I understand that Russia has absolutely outrageous amounts of old tanks, some even going back to WW2 vintage mothballed for occasions like this. T-62s apparently make quite satisfactory mobile artillery, and they still have hordes of them. That’s probably why they’re not using technicals.

        • Mister Grumpus says:

          Sure why not. Just use up the old junk. They won’t need it later, that’s for fucking sure. Does it roll? Does it shoot? OK fine, go, figure something out.

          But yes, the next level is just straight up bolting howitzers to those KAMAZ off-road semi truck trailers with monster tires and kickass suspensions. I can’t wait! What’s “Mad Max” in Russian?

      • Mister Grumpus says:

        Do you (Jim) “take back” your earlier take that Ukr had figured out IEW? Did you read the shadows wrong? Did something change? What could that have been?

        I don’t get it either. Is it just that the Russians figured out that they were being stupid, and stopped being stupid, but don’t know anything else now besides skull-to-skull artillery bashing?

        • jim says:

          The Russians and the Ukrainians are both improving their game, but are both primarily relying on obsolete weapons, tactics, and strategy.

          Recollect that tanks were around for a long time before people figured out how to use them, and stirrups were around for a very long time before we had cavalry charges.

          Information epoch warfare is inherently attritive, but the trick is to do what Trump did. Strike at the key vertices of the social and communications graph of the enemy network. The Russians are getting better at this, but they still suck.

          Information Epoch warfare is the left strategy of deplatforming, cancelling, and demonetizing, except supplemented with high explosives.

          It requires intense focus on social and computer network penetration – the left’s vast army of shills and entryists, and our computer hackers.

          The NSA used to be by far the best in the world at computer network penetration, though their competence now appears to be rapidly diminishing. They are still collecting enormous amounts of data, but these days it is mostly the low hanging fruit.

          Despite all the bullshit about Russian hackers, the Russian intelligence agencies truly suck at computer penetration, though they recently had an impressive victory which suggests that they penetrated the American computer network used for Ukrainian artillery targeting. The should hire our guys – except that our guys are hard to find.

      • Mister Grumpus says:

        The WWI analogy is fascinating, though, because they first used airplanes for artillery spotting back then too. Now it’s drones. But for a while, military aviation was just a weird circus show for the “real war” happening elsewhere. Drones started out kinda like that just a few months ago.

        One thing I vaguely recall is how a daring bit of airplane-based reconnaissance daring-do blew the cover of a big important Russian troop movement and got them all fucked over really badly. It’s in Guns of August somewhere. (Somebody check me.) So they remember that.

                • someDude says:

                  Jim, Like DharmicReality I too disagree with this particular interpretation of acting from detachment.

                  A person who lives in this world and who acts in this world, cannot perform any action with detachment. Detachment means a lack of motivation in performing an action. Whether it is evil or not is moot and academic. The fact is that it is impossible. What action can possibly be taken without a motive.

                  Thus, when it becomes necessary to kill Kin in a Holy war, one kills kin with the motivation of protecting and preserving what is holy and sacred. Not with the motivation of grabbing the women and property of their kinsfolk.

                  There are several Hindus who reject that interpretation of the word detachment. The Gita has a long history, Sanskrit has a long history. In this long time, the meanings of words changes. I’m pretty sure the sanskrit word that is now being used to mean detachment used to mean something else in those days.

                  One example is the Sankrit word for contemplation has now come to mean worry, another word that used to mean sensation has now come to mean sorrow. In the English language itself, note how in 3 generations, the word Gay went from describing a happy state of mind to someone who is a homosexual.

    Off topic.

    Hey Jim, check out this excerpt:

    “There was a logic to the Afghanistan that existed before the Taliban, the Mujahedeen, the Soviet invasion, and communist usurpation. In this Afghanistan, the king reigned but did not rule. The state was stable but its reach was short: public order was preserved by the leaders of the village and the tribe. Tribal life mattered most to Afghanistan’s largest ethnic group, the Pashtuns. The Pashtuns esteemed those who lived according to Pashtunwali, the Pashtun code of honor. One conviction coursed through the social world of Pashtunwali: A Pashtun bows to no man.

    In this system, the job of the village elder and tribal khan was to provision their clans, secure their womenfolk from outside eyes, and resolve disputes without slighting or belittling the other men of their community. Elaborate customs of hospitality and lengthy council meetings allowing every man equal say were the main tools khans used to quash quarrels and share honor. Failure to resolve a quarrel through council led to resolution by feud. Tribesmen had no compunction exchanging eyes for eyes. The goal was less punishment than parity: feuds would end when both sides had equal red in their ledger. Experienced leaders balanced the demands of corporate honor with the urgency of ending the violence before it engulfed the entire tribe. Abstract moral rules did not guide their decision-making. As Malkasian comments: “Whatever was in the interests of the tribe was right: Pashtun realpolitik.”

    Under the traditional order young men sought distinction through acts of courage and daring. Old men, in turn, were distinguished from their peers by demonstrating the wisdom, foresight, and persuasive power needed to constrain their young men from taking reckless action.”

    This request might be excessive, but would you consider doing a deep dive post on how a hypothetical man should construct a theoretical tribe in Minecraft? It occurs to me that the taliRay B@n sunglasses collective actually have a model worth emulating, but it is not really built for Christian culture and geography.

    • Aidan says:

      Who says it’s not built for Christian culture and geography? Looks to me like when large-scale cooperation collapses, and a Dark Age ensues, the ancient Aryan clannish mode of life re-emerges, Christian or not. My great ancestors in the highlands of Scotland lived an existence remarkably similar to the green-eyed and frequently blonde Pashtun until they lost a war against the British due to their inability to cooperate, and large-scale cooperation was imposed on them with force. At which point they went on to massively punch above their demographic weight in war, engineering, science, and adventure.

      War and hardship forces the white man back into clans. If you and I were to found one, because we’re not actually related, and do not believe in the divinity of ancestors, we would adopt a symbol, call ourselves Clan Odonata lets say, paint a dragonfly and a cross on our guns and trucks, marry some relatives to each other, and we have a clan. But, unlikely to form true clan bonds on the level the Pashtun until there is physical danger and extreme hardship.

From the position of the little boy hunting rats, the father deciding which child to feed, the mother using her pussy for breadwinning, it’s absolute awfulness.

              My blackpills are all existential through the lens of societal collapse. I can’t think of anything more depressing, more crippling, than the inexorable slide towards Collapse.

    This is fascinating, hilarious, and repulsive:

    “A number of claims and counterclaims are being made on the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the ground and online. While GlobalSecurity.org takes utmost care to accurately report this news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos.”

    […]

    “One hundred and nineteenth day of the Ukrainian nation’s heroic confrontation with the Russian military invasion continues.

    Ukraine’s defense forces have almost completely destroyed the “elite” of Russia’s western military district, which they were preparing to oppose NATO. This was reported by the Ukraine Security Service, citing the interception of conversations between the Russian occupiers. The SBU notes that these Russian units were completely defeated by the Armed Forces, and only those soldiers who refused to invade Ukraine survived.”

    […]

    ” ‘Our defense intelligence service believes that Russia may reach the point in the next few months where it has no more impetus as it exhausts its resources,’ said Boris Johnson. ‘In that case, we must help the Ukrainians to reverse the dynamics. I will appeal for it at the G7 summit in Germany’ he announced.

    ” ‘If the Ukrainians are able to launch a counteroffensive, it should be supported. The equipment they expect from us,’ he said. When asked what would happen after a possible victory for Ukraine, he replied: ‘At least we will regain the status quo from before February 24, and Russian troops will be driven out of the areas attacked by them.’

    Here’s a link to the full article:
    https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/russo-ukraine-2022-06-22.htm

    If you decide to subject yourself to this schlock, you will see that the truth is buried in a scattered smattering throughout the article: Ukraine is losing, badly. But the prose intimates the exact opposite: Russia just cannot seem to be successful while they annihilate UKR forces and take territory.

    From the same source, a different article:

    “Russian forces pounded the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine on June 22 as they sought to completely encircle the last pocket of Ukrainian resistance in the embattled cities of Lysychansk and Syevyerodonetsk in the Luhansk region.”

    […]

    “The British bulletin highlighted what it called the “extraordinary” attrition rate among the Moscow-backed separatist forces in the Donetsk region, which, based on figures published by the separatist authorities — more than 2,100 killed and almost 8,900 wounded — is equivalent to around 55 percent of its original force.

    The report said the separatists appeared to be equipped with outdated Russian weapons and equipment.

    It noted that Russian regular forces, which haven’t published official casualty figures since March 25, are likely to have suffered similarly high losses.

    Ukraine has not published official casualty figures, which it keeps secret, but various officials including President Volodymyr Zelenskiy have suggested as many as 100 Ukrainian soldiers are being killed every day.”

    […]

    “In Syevyerodonetsk, Ukrainian defenders held on to the Azot chemical plant in the city. About 500 civilians are sheltering at the plant, and Hayday said in an interview with AP that Russian forces were turning the area ‘into ruins.'”

In one of those articles, some nobody from Lithuania is nervously certain that it’s perfectly fine to poke the bear, as Lithuania is part of NATO. As we all know, NATO has the USM, and the USM doesn’t lose battles, war, territory, or its tenuous grip on reality.

    The GAE is hopscotching its way toward destruction.

    The older, the better. Thank you in advance.

    • ExileStyle says:

      Do you have a more specific focus of interest? That’s a huge sphere of study covering nearly a millennium and many nations and languages.

      I’d always go with primary sources when possible. If you want to know what the real lives of real people were like, read the Decameron or the Canterbury Tales. If you want to take the chronicles/hard history route, Froissart’s are great for the late Middle Ages (14th century), and Gregory of Tours’ History of the Franks is a really fun read covering the very early Middle Ages.

      Don’t bother with anything about the era written in the 18th century or later…except maybe Oswald Spengler’s Decline of the West, which contains a spectacular synthetic history of the Middle Ages, if you’re into Spengler’s thing. (Which you probably are if you are here.)

      If you’re really in a hurry, I remember Barbara Tuchman’s A Distant Mirror being a snappy, readable overview of the late Middle Ages based on Froissart’s chronicles, but I read it pre-redpill so can’t 100% vouch for its frame…

      • Scissors says:

        Tuchman’s “Guns of August”, Preface, third sentence: “As the center and source of the Judaeo-Christian religion, …”

        Stop right there. The whole entire point of Christianity is the claim that the Jewish status as the only chosen people has been superseded and the old covenant replaced with a new one. The whole entire point of modern Judaism is rejection of Christianity and denial of Christ’s divinity. These two positions are not reconcilable.

        Whatever position one takes on Jews and their net impact on modern society, it is simply not possible to honestly claim that these two religions are one and the same.

        Barbara Tuchman (who, btw, was Jewish), is an excellent writer. Just be aware: she’s lying to you from the start.

        If I had to pick a specific focus or a few, I’d say specifically England, the era of the Crusades, and the transition from Germanic barbarian kingdoms into feudalism.

      For an introduction, ‘The Discarded Image’ by C. S. Lewis serves well.

    • Aidan says:

      It’s hard to find a good one. I’d say read primary sources and apply Jimian synthesis. Froude’s “History of England” is technically about the Renaissance, it only covers the 16th century, but it gives a good glimpse into how politics worked back then. Because the middle ages were the first attacked by leftists, older books are not necessarily more reliable. I haven’t read Coulanges’ works on the middle ages but I assume they’re solid.

      A recent book that impressed me was Heart of Europe, which while narratively flaccid is so meticulously dense and well-researched (infodump style of history) that a lot of stuff that wouldn’t be allowed to be published were it focused on is allowed to slip by. Of course, you must simply ignore the author’s own interpretation of history and use it as a building block.

      I second Exile’s recommendation of Spengler’s account of the Middle Ages, but it’s buried deep in Decline of the West, which should be read, but not a lot of people have the patience to digest it.

  59. Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

    When it is pointed out that Russia has long standing treaties which stipulate a guarantee of land-access to Prussia, the NPC response seems to boil down to ‘If Russia isn’t willing to escalate, then Lithuania (the GAE) has nothing to lose by wiping its ass with merely written agreements between states whenever convenient’.

    Do they – which is to say, the people putting out the word to the NPC herd – not see what lies at the end of this train of thought? (That’s a trick question.)

    If they are merely a curious subspecies of bipedal animal that ultimately only cares about whether you have the power to hurt it or not, and that if it can get away with victimizing another party, it will – then the only thing wrong with Russia’s invasion is that it didn’t happen sooner. That they were always and already at war, that the GAE always sought to undermine Russia and reduce it to a vassal state like the rest of Europe, and that the only way this ends is when one or the other is ended.

Mearsheimer systematically explains precisely how NATO precipitated the conflict, building a concise and explicit timeline with dates and quotes. It’s elegant and horrifying. And they just… hear nothing. This one video is making me rethink my position; I don’t think they realize what’s happening, like the Arawak looking through Columbus’ ships. Of course, Blinken and close company know what they’re doing. They want a limited nuclear exchange. But I don’t think the academics are on board, though not because they wouldn’t be, rather they cannot conceive of a world wherein their entire framework false. They have no agency. They were combating a deadly, mystery pandemic with robust measures and a safe, effective vaccine when, out of nowhere and for no reason at all, Putin invaded the ancient West European nation of Ukraine.

        When a mule stuffs ballot boxes with fake ballots, she knows what she is doing, I can see that in her shady demeanor. And therefore chances are that the people who physically printed up the fake ballots know what they are doing also. But I am pretty sure the people who paid the mules and the printers and who give them their orders think they are making every vote count, fighting Republican voter suppression, and saving democracy.

        Anonymous Fake has trouble responding to our woke capitalism meme, because he would have to ask his supervisor for a script expansion, but his supervisor is not allowed to see the meme, lest it might make him think, and his supervisor does not want to see our memes, since thinking would hurt.

They don’t have empathy for the “wrong” set of ideas from the wrong set of people. This happens at all levels of intelligence. Their mind sees wrong think and automatically shuts off interacting with it. It is pathological.

              It’s a dominant personality type on the left but is also fairly common one on the right. This isn’t a question of intelligence.

              If a person doesn’t have empathy for both sides of a conflict, then they really don’t understand the conflict.

            Polite Debate is something Polite People do in a Polite Society. With no formal hierarchy, no informal rules of decorum, and no shared purposes or desires, there can be no debate, polite or otherwise. Instead, every conversation is a knife fight, every argument is an opportunity to damage and degrade, and every person is both a dupe and a danger. This is pure, distilled anti-whiteness; intellectual white-wolf-white. One of the many cursed legacies of Gramscii and the Frankfurt School.

        I rolled my eyes a couple of times with the audience questions but that guy in the back with yellow pants gave me a headache.

        This relates back to what I was talking about with nuance. Most people can’t mentally operate with nuance in general. Even more so in a charged political situation.

        Most people, academics included, are not capable of mentally operating in ambiguity. Things are either right or wrong. Good or evil. 1 or 0.

        That is not a criticism of binary thinking, it’s quite useful when you don’t have the time to determine if that Saber Tooth Tiger is going to eat you or not. You’ll live longer thinking in simplistic terms that all Tigers are evil and should be avoided/killed on sight.

        It’s not that they don’t realize what’s happening. It’s that they are flat out incapable of realizing in the first place.

        IR requires looking at the situation from both sides. Accurately and sincerely putting oneself in the mindset of for example both the American and the Russian ethos/culture/politics/etc. Few are even capable. For most of those capable, it is extremely hard because it’s easy to slip into one sided moral frameworks.

        There is a reason why Machiavelli was considered amoral and evil never-mind the terminological contradiction of such a thing…

        I’ve said this before, and I will say this repeatedly in the future in many different ways, most people are completely incapable of conceptualizing other points of view. Most people are completely incapable of conceptualizing something being both right and wrong or something being neither right or wrong.

        Most people live with no shades of gray. If the reverse were true, engineers and realist IR wouldn’t be such a small group of people.

          I agree with this assessment and add that quite a lot of it is driven by fear, and the need for the illusion of control. Simple mindedness, black and white thinking, emotional reasoning etc. these are all primitive tools used by everyone early in life. They are survival tools.

          Kazimierz Dąbrowski a Polish psychologist created a theory called “Positive Disintegration” where he describes 5 levels of consciousness. Basically starting with psychosis (emotional and psychological scarcity), to what you described, NPC behavior, and several steps of growth leading to stage 5 multi-level positive integration (complete self awareness and mastery).

          His work explains how people get through those 5 stages, basically a series of psychological and emotional fitness tests. Very often people will repeatedly attempt throughout their life to get further, only to fail a certain test again, and slide backwards.

          It’s interesting, and everything I’ve read of his stuff, which is just the basics, holds true in my experience.

          Or rather, is this “stand and fight or get shot” business, at this point, just to hold onto power a little bit longer, and physically remove the people who can defect to Putin, depose them, and save their own country from further death and destruction?

          (Surely Hitler was on this same trip once the Red Army was crossing Poland. Just saying.)

        • Kunning Drueger says:

          Encirclement happens, but so does defeat or ambush or rout. Ex post facto, it can appear as if a force let an encirclement happen, or courted defeat willingly, or was avoidably routed. Did the US “let” Vietnam win? Did Napoleon choose to be routed?

          Sometimes, political entities with control of tactical or strategic elements but not present in the battlespace adopt policies or positions that very obviously lead to defeat; the Whigs during the American revolution, the Congress during the American War, the destruction of Rhodesia. Do these situations validate the assertion made by the defeated military men that the politicians lost the war and not them? If so, is it accurate to say that they were trying to lose?

          I believe it is the case in UKR that the power animating the leadership is actively getting soldiers killed (because predominantly white males), and that the leadership is actively getting soldiers killed through zealous posturing intended to signal nationalist fervor.

            You just enumerated examples of military victory/stalemate converted to defeat by priestly failure. Rhodesia in particular was a priestly operation through and through. There was literally no military force on the ground capable of dealing with the Selous Scouts, short of US Marines going in (or more likely, UK Commandos). Similarly, in WWI, the German Army could’ve potentially fought France to a standstill, and negotiated an Armistice on equal terms. But their priests failed, the Kaiser lost his nerve, and capitulation was the result. A contemporary counter-example lies in their ally Turkey, where warrior-priest Ataturk dismissed the Mullahs, took command, and routed the enemy so thoroughly on the home front that Gallipolli remains a huge patriotic event in Turkey and Ataturk ascending to absolute power all but guaranteed Turkey an honourable settlement (that Turkey continues to milk to this day).

            In the American War of Northern Aggression, if ever the South had had priestly power, they would’ve marched straight on to Boston after Bull Run, destroyed Harvard, captured DC and laid the foundations for a lasting victory.

            So yes, while the warriors were “trying to win,” they were instead defeating the wrong enemy after wrong enemy, wearing themselves thin, while the priests who were supervising the whole thing actually did want them to lose. America falls into the same category in WWII. The GAE is fundamentally opposed to Amerikaner, and will kill them first. Imagine Vietnam, on a global scale.

  61. Mister Grumpus says:

    Jim doesn’t run a hugbox, but I need some perspective here.

    When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail, and the USA-Canada is looking like one big Cambodia to me.

    A leftist singularity, cheered on by Harvard, firewalled within geographic isolation.

    A ruling class/regime, and then general population, purged of anyone smart enough to understand what’s going wrong and why.

    Useful to outside powers as a farm only, pretty much, while the population starves on fake news.

    No one to march in (like Vietnam in the analogy) and say “All right you guys. That’s enough. Knock it off.”

    Maybe that’s where I’m wrong, if I am wrong: There IS someone to march in and take over: Limb-Chopping Volcano-Worshipping 75-IQ Central America. Emperor MS13. Yay.

    Another wrinkle in the analogy is that Cambodia wasn’t a military threat to anyone else, while the US still is, on paper anyway, but once Shaniqua finishes metabolizing the Navy, well not so much. But then again, what finally triggered the Vietnamese (as a proxy for China?) invasion of Cambodia was the Cambodian incursion into Vietnam to genocide some fleeing Cambodians.

    So without that last twitch of aggression against Vietnam, thus triggering the Vietnamese coming in to finish off of its own regime, Cambodia may have had no one left alive at all. “Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill” indeed.

    Discuss.

    • Ex says:

      America is some fifty times the size of Cambodia, with larger distances from Harvard, fewer tigers in the backwoods, more guns, more smart people, and better internet access. While nobody could simply march in by land, there’s a lot of states who might like both the prestige and the resources available.

        Yes this is where I’m at as well, although I still think we are in the first century BC of the late Roman Republic albeit with a slave post-industrial market economy instead of a slave agrarian market economy so certain degenerate values are necessarily sped up in the anti-natalist cycle (gay, trans, etc).

        The triumvirate of Caesar/Crassus/Pompey symbolized the return of warrior class rule over the combined priestly/merchant oligarchical class rule of Rome and I believe the day is coming for warrior class rule to return to the American Empire.

        Trump looks like the beginning of that shift (although he himself is not a warrior), in the way Gracchus represented the beginning of that shift.

        Europe does not seem like it has many warriors left, but America surely does so warrior rule must necessarily originate in America.

        • ExileStyle says:

          Europe does not seem like it has many warriors left, but America surely does so warrior rule must necessarily originate in America.

          Europe is diverging more clearly and resolutely than ever from America. Europe has no warriors of any persuasion left, and its only real remaining political issue is migration, which is to say the defense (or wilful negation) of its native cultures.

          That includes defense from American culture, which (western) Europeans find more and more alien and threatening with time, second really only to Muslim culture. You can see this in blatantly foreign religious phenomena like BLM parades in European capital cities where there are no ex-slave “Blacks,” or how English words like “Pride” or “Queer” or “Trans” are imported curiously untranslated directly into native languages.

          People who know how to read see exactly where this is coming from: the same place the latest iPhone model is coming from. The influence of America on all things Weird and Disgusting is palpable, and left and right both are beginning to react to it with their own counter-disgust mechanisms. Anti-Americanism is the only thing left and right share.

          The difference between Europe and America is more extreme now than it has been in generations or centuries, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out. There will be no native left singularity in Europe. It will only happen if imposed upon it by America.

          America is and always has been a land of radicals and absolutists, whereas Europe since WWII has become a rump continent of complacent, comfortable Social Democrats. How they will land in relation to each other over the course of history is unpredictable, but likely has more to do with the fate of America and its choices than anything lazy, complacent Europe will do. Europe is inert and predictable and its future almost mathematically measurable; America still has the choice between Imperial Harvardism or Real Reaction, and likely nothing in between. If America chooses the former, they enter the left singularity and the future belongs (again) to Europe; if the latter, a millennium of Real American Empire.

          The ball, in short, is in America’s court. Will be interesting to watch unfold.

          • Pooch says:

            Indeed. Very hard to predict.

            When Caesar took power in Italy, the elite fled to the Eastern provinces of the Roman Empire and used that as their base of operations to conduct the Civil War against Caesar.

            I could see something similar happen, where if a real Populist uprising were to happen in the US in the way that the American elite fear so deeply, that they would flee to Europe being welcomed in open arms by the European elite and you could see a Civil War of the West conducted that way.

            • ExileStyle says:

              Yes, certain Western vs. Eastern Empire parallels do seem meaningful and translatable in this case. I can envision a sort of fossilized Byzantine perma-Empire in Europe persisting while chaos – if a vital chaos – plays itself out in America, generating a meaningful organizing energy for future global political constellations.

              That said, I do think the EU zone has its own explicitly self-serving plans for the near- to mid-term future. The EU is not *quite* as subjugated to GAE as Eastern was to Western Rome, and Rome of course did not have a Russia (let alone a Russia-China alliance) breathing down its neck either.

              The Eurozone powers have plans to assert themselves definitively in an American power vacuum, and are presently playing a quiet, early-stage Great Powers game with the US. (The whole WEF thing has a lot to do with this btw – cf. the origins of Schwab’s project with the idea of the Euro as a competing currency; WEF was formed almost immediately after end of Bretton Woods/start of Petrodollar, and with the USD in mind). This makes the situation more precarious and competitive than the Roman analogy.

              It remains true that EU and US elites have more in common with each other than with their respective native peoples, but there is a level of serious competition between them that surpasses previous parallels, and could portend a serious competition of powers in future.

                This presupposes that the US no longer has military assets in Europe (which today is a fairly large military presence at that).

                For as long as America has troops in Europe, Europe is not sovereign which does parallel the span of the Roman provinces.

                The US may be content to fight Russia at the frontier with Ukrainians, but I tend to think that any incursion of Russia into Europe proper itself, and particularly Western Europe, would provoke the deployment of actual American units. This is territory I imagine the elite would be inclined to contest strongly with the full might of the USM.

                Without American troops in Europe, friendly relations with Russia seems to be the obvious realignment for Europe given their reliance on Russian natural resources.

                  Without American troops, Europe probably reverts to centuries-old pre-WWII dynamics, which generally pit far western Europe against big-middle-block Germany, who always wants to buddy up with Russia in a land-power alliance which, sadly, proves unacceptable to everyone else on the continent.

                  We see the power of that simple geography right now even, in Germany’s slow and reluctant embrace of the sanctions bullshit when they’d much rather just get their natural gas and make their cars and medical equipment and whatever and let the rest of the world play their power games. They’ve been dragging their feet openly through the whole Ukraine thing.

                  A Russia–Germany alliance is what Europe as a whole has been fighting against since the 17th century at the latest…

America is better as chunks than a monolith, and we aren’t built to be the governance structure of a Confederation of Terra. Better to be the warrior class of the Sol System, and let the Germanics and Slavs deal with the astral monarchy.

                  Equally phantasmagorical, I can easily envision the Pacific Coast becoming a Chinese frontier, supplying white bodies and brains to the pseudoHan, while the Atlantic Coast becomes the Eastern Empire and lasts ~1000 years.

                  The most optimistic situation would be a full Restoration of the whole Republic to a neoMonarchy. Less optimal but still awesome would be a balkanized US becoming a patchwork Confederation, uniting only to confront invaders. Even less optimistic, but starting to seem more likely is a CONUS divided between Russia and China after the internecine violence abates.

But it will need to be led by people, and composed of people, who have the warrior spirit.

                  A particularly decisive victory by the Russians in Ukraine appeared to be a result of the Russians penetrating the computer network used for automatic targeting by recently supplied American artillery. The war of the future is beginning now. But it still takes warriors, just a different kind of warrior, and because the battle front will be everywhere, will need a warrior leadership more than ever.

                  In those wars they repeatedly found themselves in situations where they were about to be wiped out by handful of rifle toting goat herders, and had to be rescued. The problem was not merely that they were disinclined to attack, but unable to defend.

                  They were and are, as well as the rest of the EU, not very incentivized to get that sort of thing right. When you are under protection by a world power, your priorities shift.

                  When hostile people are shooting at you and intend to kill you, you are highly incentivized to get that sort of thing right. They had some very close shaves before the US army rescued them.

                  It is not merely that they were disinclined to fight, but when push came to shove, unable to fight.

                  The warrior class has been getting it in the ass for some time now by a priest-merchant alliance. The warriors are starting to get pissed off. Trump, although a merchant himself, was in substantial part a representation of that warrior anger.

                  If the warrior class is to gain back power and return to kingship, going to need leadership yes. Not exactly sure where that leadership will come from. It may very well require war and battle with foreign powers. Or maybe the priest-merchant alliance holds power indefinitely right into the grave of the empire.

                  We are likely in for some turbulence until it’s resolved, turbulence that may very well end with many warrior kings grasping at the crown that were the final days of the Roman Republic.

                  When the shooting starts, a warrior leadership will win. Trouble is we do not have any candidates for warrior leadership. Trump has a warrior spirit, and his leadership and guidance in the fight against ISIS was absolutely brilliant. Of all military leaders today, he demonstrated the greatest competence. Unfortunately he ran away on January twentieth, and before that failed to call out the militia to protect election integrity, which was and is the only way that you could have an honest election these days.

                  Which failures severely disqualify him.

                  Look at Electronic Arts: in 2019 they released the game Battlefield V which was heavily criticized by the fan base, as a game supposedly set in WW2 included Black nazis, cyborg badass women and other woke nonsense. EA instead of addressing the fans’ concerns, doubled down accusing their customers of being white supremacists or something like that.
                  The game release was a major fail, the EA stock plummeted and took years to recover, a typical case of “get woke, go broke”. They did not care. Well, the bosses and the investors probably would care, and that’s the point: that the real power is wielded by the HR department which does not answer to their CEO, but to the Cathedral’s priesthood.

                  I think you’re extrapolating too far. I don’t think the comic is suggesting that the “boss”, if that’s what he is, is powerless to do anything about what’s going on. The reader may infer it, knowing what he knows about the world he lives in, but I’d wager the vast majority of even those who laugh at the comic do not.

                  Stonetoss is not committing thoughtcrime to the extent you are describing. Which is of course a decent chunk of thoughtcrime, as I know people who have seen the strip and didn’t get the premise somehow, but there is nothing suggesting that any of the terror or coercion you have described is taking place. The average right-leaning normie gets the joke and laughs at it. But that is because he legitimately believes that companies do woke advertising because they think it will sell more products. He is laughing at them because he thinks they are stupid. He is confused as to why they continue with the wokeness, and does not piece together that maybe the whole “canceling” thing that’s going on in the public square is being applied to those within these companies as well.

                  I do not believe Stonetoss knew this either when he wrote the comic strip. He was just trying to be funny and make fun of advertising for the same reason the average normiecon does, that I listed in the preceding paragaph.

                  Your explanation of woke companies, that being that the CEO is powerless against HR and the government’s “regulation”, is entirely reasonable, but it just is not a well-known explanation outside of this blog. We would do well to meme such a thing (and in fact I have been doing so whenever I see such an opportunity), lest more midwits start thinking that the merchants themselves are the ones who are evil and insane, and get confused as to who their target should be.

                  The message of a meme is always in the punchline. A joke is funny because someone seemingly powerful is suddenly revealed as powerless. If you laughed, you saw the message that you are now rationalizing away.

                  This our message, our meme, in which the meme warrior Stonetoss has necessarily distilled our complex and wordy theory into a single word, a single word that in the context he sets up carries our entire theory of capitalism, capitalists, merchants, and priests within it.

                  And if you laughed, you saw what was within that single word.

                  The boss is a merchant, the ad man a priest. The adman is standing before the seated boss, so ostensibly the merchant is in power, and ostensibly the priest his servant. But, the merchant’s powerlessness suddenly revealed by the priest’s failure to produce the lie that the merchant demands, you laughed.

                • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

                  No, Stonetoss definitely knew what he was saying. The tell is the question in the last panel. “Burgers?” That tells us that the marketing guy is not interested in selling burgers at a burger company. He did not create the ad to sell burgers. The boss wants to hear that this will help improve sales, and the ad guy is baffled by the question. He asks,” Burgers?” as an implied question of, “Why would we care about selling burgers over interracial sex?”

                  The boss asks for the lie, does not get it.

                  Yes, this is the part that’s funny. But it’s funny regardless of whether or not you consciously grasp that the adman can do that because his wokeness is backed by real, hard power. People might feel it, but they do not understand it, do not make the connection by themselves, and are resistant to making it when it’s pointed out to them. Maybe this is due to thoughtcrime, maybe it’s due to lack of intellectual firepower, maybe it’s due to lingering crypto-commie sentiments of “rich man bad”. I don’t know, I was just pointing it out and giving Pooch the benefit of the doubt. I certainly wouldn’t have been able to articulate it myself back in 2018 when the comic came out, but I wasn’t reading this blog much.

                  >Why are you so afraid of thoughtcrime?

                  This isn’t about me, this is about the average rightwinger and Stonetoss. I’m the one positing Jim’s thoughtcrime payloads to people in the first place.

                  I’m not sure why I’m having to explain myself so much. You all seem to understand each other so well, but not me. Am I that bad at writing?

                  None of the above.

                  I reject the position that merchants today have no agency besides only profits as implied by Jim’s interpretation of the Stonetoss meme. Does not match up with reality. Who are these non-woke bosses in these woke companies powerless to stop their logos from being painted in rainbow flags?

                  The CEO of my corporation today sent out a long ridiculous exhaustive priestly email on the Roe decision. He is the boss of the company and he is woke. There is no boss above him. There is no “hidden” non-woke merchant here only concerned with profits and nothing else. No one put a gun to his head. He did this out of his own agency.

                  When Nietzsche looked at the warrior and the priest, he viewed the merchant as an outgrowth of the priest which is correct chronologically. You can’t have a market if you do not have a common language. The most fundamental form of capital is language.

                  When we talk about the merchant, we’re talking about a priest who is existing in a mental consciousness space. That is, they are no longer in the magical or mystical consciousness. They are now existing in a mental quantitative space where survival is the highest virtue through material reality. The idea that you lose your agency as a merchant is not founded.

                  When you understand this relationship of the priest to the merchant, you understand why masses of slaves were imported into Rome during the final century of the Roman Republic and why masses of slaves are being imported into the American Republic today.

                  It becomes instantly clear what gave rise to the Gracchus’ reaction and what the conflict between the Populares and Optimates was all about when you fully grasp what a merchant is.

                  Otherwise the final century of the Roman Republic makes no sense to you.

                  And things are far worse now than they were then, with Accounting added to the attack from Human Resources. Back then Human Resources demanded you had to push the blue pill. Now Accounting demands the rainbow flag, and Human Resources demands critical race theory.

                  Netflix for example started producing woke content in response to BlackRock investment and to meet ESG standards.

                  High ESG scores keeps the money flowing. Low ESG scores cause the opposite effect.

                  ESG is also pushed via the Federal Reserve.

                  If a business is at all dependent on institutional investors or the feds, it’s going to get woke to keep the bottom line.

                  Pragmatically, getting a high ESG score in regard to being eco-friendly is relatively hard. Flying a bunch of LGBTQIAA+ flags and sending out pronoun memos is relatively easy. Hence why all big companies are going gay.

                  Disney CEO tried to steer the company away from gay. After the ESG proponents got to him, his hostage video got sent out where he proclaimed Disney will always be gay.

                  In my case I did not notice any significant mindshare problem at all. The problem was that Legal and HR were wholly owned by the government, and these days, in public companies, also Accounting. Which is why Musk needs to take Twitter private, so that he will not have Accounting on his back.

                  Those guys are branches of the their respective government bureaucracies, which the private sector is forced to house and fund. It is the same thing as the Chinese Communist party injecting party members into the administration of private companies, except that America has far more of them, they cost far more, and they meddle far more.

                  Companies exist by accounting. They were an accounting fiction imagined into reality by book keepers before they were a legal fiction legislated into legal reality. And SoX has destroyed accounting.

                  Yes, many “merchants” experience more cashflow by acting priestly. This isn’t because their business runs better, but because they get rewarded by power. Short term, a fantastic strategic move by the priests. Gives them ever more power and influence. Long term, completely destructive to economic capacity and will leave everyone poor while destroying the ability to make effective weapons systems; ultimately a damning move.

                  It is not just the elite gaming the state religion. It is the state religion being changed by the elite in lockstep with the material interests of the elite, who are both priestly and mercantile in character.

                  Number go up means nothing in terms of real wealth. Material conditions are plummeting. Eventually this plummet reaches the priests. Money cannot buy what cannot be made, and we are losing the ability to make things. There is an argument to be made about becoming richer in overall share of the extant goods in the system, but that is not what I meant by everyone becoming poor. I meant that everyone eventually is reduced to the living standards of the dark age after we destroy all industry everywhere.

                  The peasants are workers and as a class have no agency in the tripartite system of merchant-priest-warrior.

                  Communism/Marxism and in large part nationalism is giving agency and power to a class people (the worker) who are undeserving of it. Unsurprisingly, bad and evil things result from that.

                  Nietzsche disagreed. In fact, Nietzsche boiled everything down as just priest vs warrior with merchants being an outgrowth of the priest.

                  I will not go that far dismiss the merchant as their own class, but it is clear Nietzsche is correct chronologically. You cannot have a merchant without first having the civilizational abstraction as first created by the priest. The merchant is a priestly mindset, but instead of the metaphysical and mystical concerns, material physical concerns.

        They are giving it a damned good try. The worshipers of the mighty and awesome Covid demon want another go, while the sodomites are moving fast to make K9 to K12 classes into transsexual child whorehouses.

        But the war faction faction is in the driver’s seat. And they have just launched another, larger, act of war against Russia. They have launched a blockade of Kalingrad, Russia’s only warm water port to the Atlantic. The Russians have promised consequences, which consequences will likely be an act of war against a member of the Nato alliance.

        If I was in Putin’s shoes I would cut to the chase and nuke Vilnius. Putin will probably take a slower, more indirect, costly, dangerous, and less effective path, but will find himself winding up at the same destination anyway.

        Putin will engage in the smallest possible act of war against a member of NATO, to which NATO will respond with another, larger, act of war, and in the end, he will have to nuke Vilnius, and then we shall learn if US nukes still work. Or maybe the US military will interrupt the process, remove the war faction, and install the Covidians or the K9 sodomites in the driver’s seat. But I suspect the US Military will not find the balls to remove the war faction until Vilnius is nuked, and taking the long and indirect path gives the war faction more time and opportunity to cement its power against the faggots and the worshipers of the Mighty and Awesome Covid demon.

                Russia may well back down over the blockade. That is what the Global American Empire are betting. They might be right. But suppose Russia does not backdown, then slow walk or fast walk to nukes.

                Suppose Russia does backdown. Well, then the Global American Empire will in due course try something else. And sooner or later, Russia will, belatedly, decide that backing down does not buy peace.

          I tend to think similarly. When considering an escalation path, I consider the likely response at each level and tend to look to find the first path that has a likely acceptable response, and then jump to it immediately with no warning.

          This generates good results at a schoolyard level if someone is doing a typical bully dance where they expect you to deescalate at each opportunity while they progressively escalate. Immediately jumping your violence level to 100% means you can usually take aggressors that are stronger than you on paper. The problem is that when nukes are involved you’re basically guaranteed to see them used in a number of historical situations if you have someone that thinks like you or I in power.

          Why? Because the first level at which the likely response by the other player is acceptable might well be after you’re launched a devastating decapitating strike and Instagrammed their Second Strike submariners with things like—I see your family is centered around these towns out in flyover country. We don’t have them on our nuke list now, but…should your submarine launch, you can be assured that your bloodline will be terminated in nuclear fire. On the other hand, if you don’t launch, we’ll make it worth your while.

            When you are on a path that you know will end in terrible violence and very likely death, but the other guy expects that you will back down half way along the road, you can avoid the terrible violence by immediately jumping to the last step on the road just before death or serious injury, and skipping all the intermediate posturing and pissing around.

            I speak from experience.

            The more slow small steps you take along the path, the more the both of you are going to get locked into that final outcome.

            Nuking Vilnius tomorrow noon would greatly reduce the risk of total all out nuclear war.

            • Jehu says:

              Going full monty on nuking NATO probably has the best expected value, not just nuking Vilnius. Nuking Vilnius is likely to draw a ‘proportionate’ response that leads to a cycle of nuclear escalation.

                When you are on a path that you know will end in terrible violence and very likely death, but the other guy expects that you will back down half way along the road and is probing to find the minimum violence required to extract submission, and since submission is not going to be forthcoming you know where the road leads, but he does not, you can avoid the terrible violence by immediately jumping to the last step on the road just before death or serious injury, and skipping all the intermediate posturing and pissing around.

                Nuking Vilnius tomorrow at noon would greatly reduce the risk of total all out nuclear war. By escalating faster than the other guy, you convincingly signal to him that there is a high likelihood that you will go right on escalating to the final outcome should he continue to escalate. It is a costly signal. When you are on the path to escalation, you are on that path because your opponent does not believe your cheap signals and has to be convinced that submission is not forthcoming.

                Invading Ukraine was an insufficiently expensive signal. It is obvious the Global American Empire was not persuaded. A much more convincing signal is required.

                But going all the way to nuking NATO is not necessarily required. Nuking Vilnius at noon tomorrow would very likely suffice.

                The leadership of the war faction would likely not be convinced, but NATO would know that the next step is nuking NATO. No intermediate steps would remain. If the war faction continued, as it very likely would, it would find its hands full with a NATO war defection.

                • Jehu says:

                  You say likely, and I agree it might have a 50/50 chance of working—by working, I mean GAE capitulates and stops ‘not war’ immediately and less insane factions of it take control. But I wouldn’t put nuking Vilnius at any more than a 50/50 of achieving that outcome. I see a high probability that Kalingrad is nuked or at least fuel-air bombed in response. And the insanity of that response could come from a fair number of different NATO players. Thus my estimate of 50/50 at best. And if the response comes, it’s off to the races.

                  On the other hand, if you go full Monty, you probably achieve strategic and tactical surprise and your expected losses are a lot smaller. Some of their nukes won’t work, most will be destroyed on the ground, and you’ll be able to blackmail most of the rest into not launching.
                  My gut is the full monty is the best play in terms of expected value.

                • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

                  What Putin really needs to start doing yesterday is memeing the doom of major globohomo instigators around ukraine into the ground of Being.

                  First you start with one: pick a particularly egregious or emblematic swamp creature, pull up a selection of their words, actions, and associates, and issue dire op-eds that their conduct could unfortunately result in ‘undesirable consequences’ for the world in general and themselves in particular. When they inevitably persist, the prognostications of doom both intensify and become more pointed – ‘will not someone rid us of this turbulent priests?’, natch. And, when they inevitably persist again in this case, you stuff a Khinzal down their chimney.

                  Everyone paying attention in the world is put on notice. The leadership of globohomo is perfectly willing to fight Russia to the last ukrainian – the obvious solution then, is to make it so you can put *them* on the ‘front lines’.

                  Killing enemy leadership is effective. Killing reprobates in response to behavior is also a message. And the most effective message is one where everyone hears about who you made an example of when their behavior displeased you, and why it displeased you. The polygon itself does this all the time, dogwhistling the normalization of an intended action before it even happens, such that by the time you actually do it, it is practically a fait accompli.

                  Its hard to express how far reaching the effects of this can be. The level of sheer atomization in the occident is such that there are significant factions that won’t care at all if the apparatchiks are getting killed, and many who will cheer it on even.

                  Of course in the beginning they will raise a huge uproar about it on the outlets of their megaphone – feeling, for one of the first times in their lives, the cold grip of reality, reaching through their ideosocial bubble, circling around their hearts – to try and get the grill-pillers worked up on their side as they always do. But then the inevitable thought occurs – “hey, i never actually liked these guys”; and “hey, they aren’t actually unkillable or all powerful”; and “hey, they can’t actually guarantee success in punishing me if i speak against them, like i used to unconsciously assume”. Once those leads connect together to form a circuit in folk’s minds, everything becomes in flux. Once those cards are put on the table, everything becomes a whole lot more Dynamic than previously expected.

                  The day before, it’s a circular firing squad. The day after, it’s “lol why don’t you try, see how much you like an early hypersonic christmas present”. Cascading apostasy events.

                  Jim’s got the right of this. While the war party would like to nuke Kalingrad in return it’s unlikely their orders would be obeyed. Someone who orders an action only to have it ignored will soon be removed from power.

                  Once people believe that Russia will nuke them if they don’t stop the endless escalation they’re very likely to stop. In order to demonstrate this willingness a righteous example has to be made.

    • Pax Imperialis says:

      Genocides, like those seen in Asia, are fairly unique in history. Those genocides tends to be fairly comprehensive, thorough, and efficiently organized (The Nazis were fairly inefficient at killing regardless of all their camps, railroads, industrial management compared to the Soviets who manged similar numbers in under a year in Ukraine for significantly less cost). The collective nature of rice agriculture, clan structure, and resultant social networks allow for organized violence rarely seen in the west. (In some ways Russia far more resembles Asia)

      You would be better off trying to find similarities between conditions leading up to genocides in Europe (or committed by Europeans) and the current American situation, than looking at something completely alien. That said, America is hardly European anymore. 1/5 of new marriages are between Whites and Hispanics. Demographic and social structure has far more in common with South American nations like Chile, Brazil, or Argentina.

      Whiter than Mexico, but darker than Argentina, and also more Asian than both. It brings up an interesting question of what genocides look like in Hispanic nations.

      ___________________________________

      Genocide doesn’t pop out of nothing, it requires a cohesive group organization to carry it out against other cohesive (thus identifiable) groups.

      I posit these modifications to your premise:

      “A leftist singularity, cheered on by Harvard, firewalled within sociological and geographic isolation within American coastal and university cities, though it does leak out it does so at a much slower pace.”

      “A ruling class/regime, and general population in close proximity to the regime, purged of anyone smart enough to understand what’s going wrong and why.”

      The US is big in geographic terms as well as sociological terms. It is too fragmented and heterogeneous for large scale cohesive genocide carried out from the top. The leftist singularity is too isolated within ruling class and proximate populations.

      The type of genocide seen in Cambodia or other Asian countries were not carried out by rainbow coalitions but in contrast extremely homogeneous populations. US leftist singularity is a rainbow coalition of BIPOCLGBTQIA+++++WTFs and their most upper class white “allies.”

      In short, America is highly decentralized and heterogeneous. Closest example pre-genocide circumstance would be Yugoslavia and even that is a stretch to use an all Slavic example.

      Most likely outcome for America is slow disintigration into Brazilian or Argentinian style domestic conflict. Conflict that is constant, decentralized, partly racial at times and partly nonracial at others. Expect lots of political assassinations that due to the extensive multitude of competing factions, can’t fit any single narrative. Few enough Blacks you don’t end up like South Africa. Enough civilized folk to wall themselves off from the dysfunction or live far away. Enough intermediates to keep social distance between the low and high ends.

        Iirc, Argentina has few blacks because during yellow fever outbreaks, the black communities were walled up. Everyone got it and died, or maybe starved. There’s also something about blacks being sent to the front lines in the Falkland wars, but I can’t sift through revisionist history to tell how much truth there is.

        There are four factions contending for power, with the war faction currently in the saddle, and currently, alarmed by the worshipers of the Mighty and Awesome Covid Demon grabbing for total, absolute, and complete power, keeping the Covidians down.

        The sodomite faction and Gaia worshiper factions are as heterogenous as you describe. The war faction Jewish, and the Covidian faction white and Catholic. Hence well placed to make a grab for total power, and well placed to carry out a Cambodian style autogenocide. If the total power grab by the Covidian faction had succeeded, would have proceeded to autogenocide by endless boosting, and if endless boosting with the old vaccine failed to do the trick, would have introduced a new and even deadlier vaccine.

        If the sodomite faction gains the upper hand, the faction that wants to sodomize small boys and girls is fairly homogeneous and quite capable of cohesive action, and may well grab absolute power from the other wildly diverse sexual deviations. The war faction is less likely to commit autogenocide, and more likely to get us into great power war, but when Jews get the upper hand, as in the Soviet Union from 1916 to 1932, they are impressively genocidal towards the host population. The Jewish faction currently rules Kiev, and is starting to look distinctly autogenocidal.

        > In short, America is highly decentralized.

        The way the big steal in 2020 was carried out in 2020 demonstrates highly centralized.

        Similarly, when midway through the Republican primary season, they decided they had to steal the primaries, from there on not only was every primary in every Republican State of the Union stolen, but analogous measures against the outer party started simultaneously in every state of the Global American Empire.

        Similarly the attempt at autogenocide by vax, with equivalent measures being applied against dissident doctors simultaneously in every state of the Global American Empire in perfect synchrony.

Too much factionalism and it fails to operate. The left are united in a shared disdain and even hatred of White America. The left is also united due to shared necessity. The war party can enforce what the other factions want, but the other faction have the vote banks that the war party needs. The war party is the belt strap that holds the left together.

          Problem with that setup is that the competent leadership of the war faction is old and dying off. The belt might just come off… Political rearrangement would occur.

          White America is rapidly disappearing… unless Hispanics are considered White. Without a clear racial enemy, the left will increasingly incorporate traditional class warfare as seen in Latin America. We see that with AOC and Sanders rise in the party.

          More likely than genocide is the type of conflict as seen in the Spanish Civil War or the targeting of Catholics in Mexico. Lots of atrocities and mass killings by leftists, but nowhere at the level of Cambodia. Not to say they don’t want to, they certainly do. It’s a question of capability to carry out organized systematic killings.

Overall America is fairly decentralized. The difference between a New Yorker and a Chicagoan is likely large than the difference between a German and a French. The difference between an Austin Texan and a Dallas Texan is also massive. Even in White America prior to mass immigration in the 60s there is tremendous cultural variance.

          American culture is decentralized which leads to wide variation in political values and expression and thus a multi-polar power competition within the US.

    Off topic for post but on topic for blog: PCgamer claimed two months ago that 25 exabyte read-only diamond wafer hard disks are to be commercialised next year, breaking us out of data storage stagnation. Would this moreorless fix the scalability of crypto, by simply having more and bigger blocks and longer chains stored on endless stacks of 25 exabyte diamond wafers?

            The underlying technology is that you cut off a slice of a single large non crystal diamond at angle such that there is match between the diamond lattice and the non diamond crystal lattice, and then grow nanondiamonds on the surface, whose lattices align to match each other, forming a single large diamond that is a millimetre or so thick, but very wide.

            This makes diamond transistors, which are enormously more capable, and can run far faster at far higher temperature than silicon transistors, possible.

            But last I heard, no one was actually making diamond transistors yet. They are hoping they will soon be able to, but wafers are only the first step in the process. A lot of work is being done on it. A lot of interesting results have been achieved. But so far, nothing actually useful. Just steps in the direction of producing something useful.

              My IQ only puts me on the cusp between midwit and actual smart person (high 120s low 130s and I was younger) so forgive me if this inquiry sounds stupid but… a transitor is normally semiconductor which uses two types of silicon both with different microscopic or nanoscopic impurities (I think they also have a “neutral” silicon region which may or may not be pure silicon this is not really explained that I’ve been able to find)… how do you make a diamond (an item of pure carbon) a semiconductor. Or are these really semidiamonds?

              And as per memory storage is it just better transistors or are they trying to use the optical properties of a diamond to enhance memory storage… if trying to use a diamonds optical properties the diamond would need to be flawless and with absolutely perfect rotational symmetry correct?

      Scaling issues are more due to communication and processing bandwidth than memory. At any given consensus layer every byte has to be known by every validator/block producer in order to validate the state transition. That’s why everyone is trying to shard the state, so at top you are validating the validation of the layer down, until you are at the client level and you are validating transactions themselves, and all incoming transactions are not bottlenecked by the processing power of a single node.

    Re-floating this topic from down thread. These are some thoughts on the petroleum industry in particular and nuance and detailed understanding in general.

    The opacity of unfamiliar entities

    Oil industry isn’t monolithic

    Entertainment is not Hollywood

    Serious people must discard easy assumptions and accept the ubiquity of nuance.

    If anyone can provide insight from first hand experience or familiarity with the petroleum industry, don’t hesitate to smack me down and call me stupid; I always appreciate gaining perspective and resolution. My experience with the industry comes from an outsider perspective. I’ve spent time in oil country in TX and interacted with a few mid-level engineer types. I’ve also read a lot of Zeihan, and petro-chemichal is something he focuses on.

    We often only hear about the super majors and conglomerates, but the industry is actually a massive ecosystem with companies and firms of diverse size. The fracking revolution stems from silicon valley teaming up with technical/engineering schools paid for by venture capital and oil companies. Lots of different, highly specialized software, complicated and secret technologies, and commercially intersectional interests go into the extraction process. If you count all the associated parts, it’s almost a nation into itself. For instance, Halliburton specialized in the boring, unsexy infrastructure and logistics of the industry, like cafeteria workers and janitors as well as transport and maintenance, which is why they got bought by KBR and why they were basically the only company who could even try to fulfill the contracts established by USG in Iraq. The point being, it isn’t a monolithic entity. There’s probably just as much ideological diversity, competing interest, and conflicting goals as a whole State. And like a State, there are security and intelligence outfits all over the place, from site security (mall cops) to CSuite executive protection to green beret style “force multipliers” and special forces.

    I wate all these words in an effort to admonish my fellow posters: don’t fall into the trap of letting ignorance of a thing generate a low resolution, high contrast mental model. It is exceedingly rare for any social construct, like companies or cities or nonprofits or trade lobbies, to be monolithic in composition or purpose. That’s TV bullshit. Speaking of TV, it really grinds my gears when fellow conservatives reference “Hollywood” in the same way the reference the State Department or the DNC. While those two definitely have substantial unity of purpose, this is an emergent property that arises from the Cathedral apparatus chugging away for decades. In truth, Hollywood is only one facet of the hydra that is commercial entertainment. The studio system is big and influential, but if you dig down and get familiar, just like every other element of the GAE, it’s a multitude of factions, cults of personality, and self serving shekel snatchers. They may signal the same message when forced to, but it actually requires the hardcore priests to put in massive effort to keep everyone “on message.”

    I’m not trying to advocate for, rationalize away, or justify the industrialized evil that is entertainment, or governance, or anything else in our late stage empire. But I implore you to look close and expect nuance, because opportunities, exploits, and fault lines abound, and the potential for disruption is surprisingly high, and getting higher as the woke minority grows ever more rabid and reckless.

    • Anonymous Fake says:

      The fracking revolution effect has never been seen anywhere else. America is unique for being a major oil producing nation stretched across a continent that rejuvenated and in fact enhanced its oil production generations after its peak. For any other big player, when they hit peak oil it’s all over.

      I doubt technology made any difference because it would work anywhere, and hasn’t. The more likely explanation is that American boomers really were a dud generation, and later generations really are an improvement. The boomer phenomenon isn’t seen outside of America so there is no inexplicable industrial recovery waiting to be seen.

      This is more evidence that more value added industries actually are being held back by the government, mostly as a result of a lack of tariffs and lax regulations that reward stock buybacks instead of long term capital investment.

      • jim says:

        Fracking has been completely effective anywhere and everywhere the world with a high IQ population, many high IQ tech firms in the oil industry – often firms that are in multiple high tech fields unrelated to oil, and a government that is not aggressively trying to strangle fracking in its cradle.

        High technology cannot be implemented by anyone anywhere, because it requires high smarts and high cooperation between smarties. You are speaking out of priestly ignorance, contempt, and hostility for the high tech priesthood.

        Because fracking requires a lot of money, it is extremely vulnerable to government sponsored attacks from the officially unofficial state Church, which is hostile to it because they see a competing priesthood, a tech priesthood, getting rich.

          In my class dichotomy, tech and engineering is thoroughly Warrior class. Problem solving, building things with your hands, the physical world, strategizing, etc this is all the domain of the warrior. An engineer is Warrior mindset sans the violence. It’s no coincidence that farming has been the historical peace time activity of the warrior. It’s the same mindset.

          Priests build memes and ideas and never actually tangible in the physical world. So to me when the state Church attacks fracking this is the priest class attacking the warrior class.

          • jim says:

            Priests of the officially unofficial religion see us as competition, and their perception is not entirely inaccurate.

            Stallman’s build tools and environment (gnu), Linus’s git, and Moldbug’s Urbit, are all software instruments for a social vision. Those tech tools are the product of tech priests.

            An engineer who is just wrestling with code and algorithms, definitely akin to warrior class. But algorithms blur over into factoring the problem, which meets the issue of large scale cooperation through discussion, which is definitely a priestly endeavor. Notable tech priests are or were Richard Stallman and Linus.

            People had been farting around for a long time on the problem of creating a free open source unix. It is often said that Linus created Linux. Lots of people created Linux, notably Stallman, but what Stallman created was held back by reliance on enemy source control tools and enemy controlled kernels. What Linus created was git, an instrument of cooperation between engineers, and the system of social organization for using it, which instrument he applied to cause a lot of engineers working at cross purposes to work together to create linux.

            Linus saw that gnu needed its own kernel, and was working on it, among others, when he realized that enemy controlled source control tools were getting in the way of those trying to create an open source kernel on which to run Gnu tools. And he then created git, and everything came together.

            Unfortunately this instrument is extremely vulnerable to hostile power, and both Linus and Stalman were recently defeated as priests. It presupposes a friendly well intentioned internet. Under attack, it fails in a wide variety of ways. We need will need to build a new git on top of a new social net. I have already envisaged the model for cooperation using it, but my social net is just a radically incomplete collection of tools, and fairly complete collection of ideas. I hope to whip into shape where it runs enough for another people to help out fairly soon – which is well short of running enough to be useful to the masses. Moldbug is another tech priest, and he is way further ahead with his implementation for a social net than I am (Urbit). But his social net is very much designed to be less threatening to power, and he is attempting to cooperate with hostile forces (Ethereum), which attempt has induced an irritating flaw. He should have inhoused the money system, or bitcoin based it, or any non scam coin except ethereum.

            In the world of the internet, like the world of fracking, the problems of technology and of large scale cooperation overlap massively. And priests of the official priesthood don’t much like our solutions.

            We need an instrument of cooperation, social, algorithmic, and instantiated as computer code that not only helps friendly smart cooperative people cooperate, but enables them to cooperate in the face of cohesive enemy groups that do not want them to be able to cooperate, with whom any attempt at compromise, cooperation, and a mode of living where each group is able to go about it is own business, is unlikely to succeed. An instrument of cooperation capable of operating in a state of Information Epoch warfare.

              Moldbug is another tech priest, and he is way further ahead with his implementation for a social net than I am (Urbit).

              I doubt whether Yarvin has any more involvement with urbit. Back in early 2019 he wrote:

              After 17 years, I’ve left the Urbit project.

              I’ve resigned as CTO, board member, and voting shareholder of Tlon (Urbit’s corporate sponsor). I’ve also reassigned my personal galaxies to urbit.org (Urbit’s embryonic foundation, still in Tlon’s custody).

              My family still has a few thousand Urbit stars (in long timelock contracts), plus a nonvoting minority in Tlon. This isn’t authority, just compensation: I have zero central power over either Urbit or Tlon. Nor will I contribute code to Urbit, nor write nor speak publicly about it. I am actually done here.

              So in my mind I don’t consider Urbit an asset for our side anymore, and that made me lose interest in constantly nursemaiding an Urbit node through the neverending cycle of crashes and upgrades.

          • jim says:

            When you need a great many people cooperating to do something, it is apt to turn into a priestly and religious endeavor. The priestly nature of Stallman’s gnu and gnu autotools is obvious. Autotools attempts to address the social problem that Linus, linux, and git successfully addressed, but it was predicated on running on a hostile closed source operating system and hostile closed source source control software. Which closed source source control software bit Linus, so he wrote his own, structured around his priestly social vision, while Stallman and company allowed the social vision of the enemy source control software to be imposed upon them.

            • Pooch says:

              Communication is definitely the domain of the priest but in the context of building and abstracting a shared morality for a given society. What is the morality of the tech priest? If no shared morality, not a priesthood.

                  Not every guy with opinions is a “priest”. Stop abusing that word.

                  Tech people and engineers are neither “priests” nor “warriors”. They are bourgeois. Or “merchants” if you like that better.

                • jim says:

                  Every knowledge faction that generates consensus in order to make its memes more believable, functions as a synthetic tribe, and organizes to propagate its memes, is a priesthood.

                  Every knowledge worker who is trying create a systematic structure of people on his memes, a synthetic tribe, even if he has not got a decent faction around him yet, is a priest.

                  Linus did not create linux. He created structures, customs, and ways of doing things that enabled a very large group of people to cooperate to create linux. So, Linus is an engineer priest, as a paladin is a warrior priest.

        Many oil producing countries are also capable of fracking. They also have large traditional oil reserves so why retool to fracking?

        “America is unique for being a major oil producing nation stretched across a continent that rejuvenated and in fact enhanced its oil production generations after its peak.”

        Does Russia ring a bell?

        “For any other big player, when they hit peak oil it’s all over.”

        Potential oil and gas from fracking likely exceeds what was available from traditional oil drilling.

        “I doubt technology made any difference because it would work anywhere, and hasn’t.”

        You are conflating the technology not being used with the idea that the technology does not work. That like saying “I doubt nuclear bomb technology made any difference because it would be used in all wars, and hasn’t.”

        “The more likely explanation is that American boomers really were a dud generation”

        Sure… there’s an argument to be made there

        “, and later generations really are an improvement.”

        But that is plain ridiculous. Not even the boomers decided to castrate their boys. That’s on millennials and zoomer generation.

        “The boomer phenomenon isn’t seen outside of America”

        Angela Merkel, Boris Johnson, etc look and behave just like American boomer politicians. Boomer culture got exported post WW2 via Hollywood and US occupation. Boomer phenomenon is global. Cola is global.

        “there is no inexplicable industrial recovery waiting to be seen.”

        True not because there aren’t any boomers. True because of the boomers and the woke children they raised who are against industrial recovery.

        “This is more evidence that more value added industries actually are being held back by the government”

        Governments explicitly say they are holding back industries

        “mostly as a result of a lack of tariffs and lax regulations that reward stock buybacks instead of long term capital investment.”

        Forget tariffs if you can’t even do business in the first place. It’s the government regulations that prevent many business from operating in the US in the first place. The endless shakedowns. The endless environmental impact surveys. The never ending undermining of companies via HR and unions backed by government. The high corporate tax rates. Does any of that look like lax regulation?

        Why should companies invest for the long term if they don’t even know if the government will permit them to exist 10 years from now? Might as well get everything of value you can in the short run.

    • Pax Imperialis says:

      Recognizing and studying nuance is important for understanding how the world works. There is academic and business value in that. The political value is fuzzy for several reasons.

      Good governance requires decision capable individuals calling the shots in an orderly and timely manor. Getting caught up in nuance slows the OODA loop. That can be a good thing, we want our justice system to fairly consider nuances and not get caught up in manias and public frenzies. We also don’t want our justice system considering nuances to such an extent that it takes decades to come to a ruling. The rejection of nuance we see today is largely in reaction to too much nuance being considered. A good example of this is the transsexual debate where all of society is being torn up over a population that in reality is very small such that most transsexuals are not actually genetically transsexuals, but are confused individuals caught up in the social frenzy.

      The masses are not capable of nuance. Governance must take that into consideration. The world might be full of gray zones and indeterminate realities, average human psychology is largely not. The percentage of the population that is capable of swimming between black and white, 1 and 0, is already small. The percentage of those comfortable with swimming in the gray zone is even smaller.

      Conservatives will either destroy Hollywood and salt the ground, or they will not. There is no in-between for political actions of that magnitude. Trying to surgically cut out the malignant parts of Hollywood would take too much time, would likely kill Hollywood anyways, and would give time for Hollywood to politically resists the entire process which would likely mean an end to the surgery. See what happened when USG tried to surgically remove the communists from Hollywood. It failed.

      There is a way of “retaining” Hollywood without destroying it via a complete hostile take over. All the studio directors would have to be removed and replaced with conservatives. All new hires from the cameraman to the writers have to be conservatives. But that basically kills Hollywood anyways, but gives an illusion that it still exists and thus a sense of legitimacy. It’s also far more costly than simply razing Hollywood to the ground and starting over. Both methods have merit.

      Serious people must discard easy assumptions and accept the ubiquity of nuance, but they must also promote easy assumptions and deny the ubiquity of nuance when it comes to politics.

          A Jimscord would be extremely interesting… and dangerous.

          Regular Discord is a goldmine. If you know what to look for and how to recognize certain speech patterns/linguistic cues, you can fairly regularly find leftists with likely proximity to the Cathedral.

          Considering how Discord records everything, deletes nothing, likely sends that data to Chinese intelligence via the TenCent financing, is it any wonder why Chinese espionage in America is so much more successful than American attempts in China? All that Discord shit is being data mined. Trump had the wrong primary target with TikTok.

          Tangent aside…

          Restoration is a multistage process. The military will have a role in it. Not an immediately direct role. The military is a behemoth that punches hard but not without orders that are seen as legitimate.

          A populist revolt, as described by Yarvin in what Trump should have done, used for regime change isn’t going to be full of uniformed men in the streets. What we will likely see is more aligned the petroleum man you speak of. Truckers are fairly similar. Veterans open up indirect military participation and give organization to the mob. All of that sort of happened organically on Jan 6 and then went nowhere because Trump was only dipping toes into the Rubicon.

          Those are some of the types of people that would be used to get the ball rolling, but then what? Is the king going to deputize every single Trucker and Petroleum man out there? Are they going to be the ones to stack up on doors to kick them in? Sort of need trucking and oil to keep things running.

          The allies you are looking for are the ones that create the sense that the King is legitimate and is thus the King is capable of giving the military orders that are also seen as legitimate.

          Restoration pose at least the following issues:

          1) How to enact regime change with a sense of legitimacy (The more the better)
          That is what you appear to be focused on. Also much of what Yarvin writes on. Failure at this looks like a Beer Hall Putsch
          2) How to establish order in the streets (and wider society) right after regime change
          This is a question of martial force. Something I’m most curious about… because if it’s successful it will be the most gratifying/fun part of a restoration… or if it fails a lot of Officers are likely going to get the have the Katyn experience. I’m not too keen on decomposing in the woods. Provided there are no mass purges failure at this point looks like that Kapp Putsch
          3)Cleaning house in the wider government
          Also a question of martial force (because many will not willing enter retirement on good terms even with a good retirement package). Failure at this would look like Trump’s first term or Julius Caesars meeting Brutus in the Senate. Not a fun time for either. Quite pointed actually.

          1 and 2 have to be done quickly in succession. The faster the better otherwise legitimacy gets questioned. Smash small problem in the bud with overwhelming force (National Guard/USMC) before they grow into larger problems. Remarkable how easily riots dissipate when shooting the rioters is permitted. If you can’t quickly transition from 1 to 2, you got problems… see Kapp Putsch

          3 can take a little more time but is still time sensitive. A more polite form of martial force (Police/Marshals/etc) is best.

Construction workers, car and steel factory workers, miners, etc. Relatively well paid blue collard physical labor workers… but low status even if they form the heart and soul of the nation.

    Looks like I’ve finally caught corona. I remember there were comments on here talking about dosages of Ivermectin as well as some other things like Vit D. I can’t seem to find it right now, so can anyone please link me or give me a quick rundown?

    I have 12mg of Ivermectin, and could probably order more to arrive in 2 days. If that’s not enough, I’m wondering the best way to split it amongst myself, wife, and kids (all under 5 years old). Wife is breastfeeding, can she take Ivermectin or not?

        He says twice a week, but I, looking up different sources, took one slightly higher dose, once. Worked immediately for me.

        I also read that its effectiveness is substantially reduced after you have been sick for four or five days, and the effect on blocking viral entry lasts a lot longer than four or five days. After a week or so, your immune system is already mopping up the offspring of viruses that attempt to replicate, but they are still safe in the nucleus of your cells causing problems. It blocks entry, after a few days, the immune system takes care of exit. But your best solution is not letting them into your cells.

    • jim says:

      I may be a golden pure blood. Following a social function after which a lot of those who attended tested positive for Covid, I got weepy eyes, a running and partially blocked nose, mild sneezing, and a slight sore throat. I immediately took a single dose of horse paste containing 20mg Ivermectin. In two hours my symptoms were largely gone, and when I woke up in the morning, completely gone. (You have to take it immediately, so don’t wait for testing. It will have little or no effect if taken three or four days after the onset of symptoms, because the virus will have already entered the nuclei of large numbers of your cells and large amounts of spike protein will have already entered your circulation. Don’t take a second dose until at least a couple of weeks have passed. A single dose has effect that lasts for quite a while.)

      I took no other medications, other than that I routinely take large amounts of vitamin D, vitamin K, and a balanced set of divalent salts including zinc, which may well have protective effect. Given the association between Covid and demon worship, the power of Christ may well also have protective effect. Though, of course, one of the mechanisms through which the power of Christ acts is that the power of Christ protects one from mind control, which results in one having horse paste in one’s fridge.

      > Wife is breastfeeding, can she take Ivermectin or not?

      Ivermectin is not known to be unsafe for infants, but I researched its mechanism extensively when it became apparent that it was a highly effective mechanism against the awesome might of the awesome and mighty Covid Demon.

      The interesting thing is not why it is so effective against a very wide range of hostile parasites that have very little in common, but why it does not kill higher animals. It disables several cellular pathways that sound as if they should be extremely important, thus killing a strangely wide range of hostile higher organisms, and stopping viruses that make use of these pathways dead in their tracks. But why does it not harm us, or indeed most higher animals? Maybe higher organisms have other pathways that accomplish the same result by other means.

      It has been around for a very long time, and is not known to be unsafe for infants, so it is probably OK.

          HCQ good, but the evidence is that ivermectin has similar results and is more effective.

          They have different mechanisms of action, so the two of them together are likely even more effective, but there is not much evidence on this.

          Ivermectin does what it does so extraordinarily effectively as to render HCQ irrelevant, and neither of them is very effective unless taken as soon as possible. A week or so after infection, both of them are useless. Immediately after infection, ivermectin is immediately and totally effective, HCQ is merely very helpful.

        My brother in law felt better the next day after taking Ivermectin on his 3ed day of being sick. I personally couldn’t kick the WuFlu until I doubled up the recommended dose on day 3 after having taken the lower recommended does + zinc on the first 2 days. I felt much better just hours after the double dose and I stopped taking it. More is probably better. Though I wasn’t 100% sure I had covid the first day I felt sick.

        My recovery was bit longer because I didn’t nuke the WuFlu right away. I was seeing racing heart rates for a couple of weeks so I stopped working out until that went away. A gym buddy mine caught it and had brain fog and lightheadedness for a couple of weeks after. He also stopped training until he felt more normal.

      My whole family and I also just got the China Flu last week. Unfortunately we were on a roadtrip and didn’t have Ivermectin on hand and now I assume it’s too late to take even if we could find it.

        This is advice for all mega-flu events not just the kung flu. Swine flu 6-7 years for example ago hit some people pretty bad, some badder than covid.

        Often, a crisis is an opportunity. Getting hit by a bug means also getting rekt and then building self back. If you manage the building back of self smartly, the new built back self may actually be a bit better than the pre-rekt one.

      • jim says:

        Fatigued and winded indicates massive blood coagulation. You need the D dimer test, and you need your blood examined under a microscope.

        Covid and vaccination produces huge numbers of tiny blood clots, which can slowly aggregate into massive blood very low density blood clots, that can kill you when exercising. The tiny blood clots, of course cannot be detected by MRI, and the massive blood clots, being generally low density, are very hard to spot on MRI. Also, they are not that common, though they are probably the primary cause of the supposedly mysterious outbreak of sudden adult death syndrome.

        If D Dimer test shows alarming levels of blood clotting, doctors are likely to try to push you into getting MRI. Don’t. This indicates the doctor is hostile, since the primary purpose is denial. MRI shows negative, therefore, the medical profession proclaims, the other tests were false positives. Obviously if a microscope shows large numbers of tiny clots, you are in big trouble, and if the doctor wants an MRI, it is because acknowledging your trouble is likely to get him in trouble.

        A doctor can lose his license, because noticing blood clotting is “unnecessarily creating patient anxiety”, therefore is medical malpractice. They are really cracking down very hard on noticing or acknowledging this problem.

        The MRI is just to deny something the state and medical profession wants very hard to deny.

        It seems plausible that anti coagulants can cure it, but there is extreme reluctance by the medical establishment to investigate, because the investigation would implicate them in enormous crimes.

        Aspirin is moderately safe anti coagulant. Take regular doses of aspirin at the maximum safe level for prolonged use. Vitamin K antagonist anti coagulents are more potent, but only available on prescription because potentially quite dangerous.

        You will not get any immediate relief from aspirin, because it will take a while for your red blood cells to regenerate, and for the microscopic clots to be cleaned up out of your circulation.

        • jim says:

          Aspirin will not have any immediate effect on your fatigue, but in theory it should facilitate recover over time as your red blood cells regenerate. A lot of females have low iron, which slows red blood cell regeneration, but this problem is rare in males, who usually suffer from excess iron.

          • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

            Nicotine and alcohol help with recovery, as well, correct? I seem to remember those being touted as helpful in degrading the spike protein, which stays after the virus proper is gone.

Unfortunately I cannot make personal recommendations because when I supposedly got covid I was back in action in just a few days without doing anything but eating well and sleeping.

        • Ctsaxton says:

          Aspirin disables platelets (which have a ~7 day lifespan and ~1day half-life iirc), mildly preventing clots. Nattokinase is a fibrolytic that acts on multiple pathways and strongly dissolves clots. Much better safety profile (otc, no common side effects) than e.g. warfarin.

          Anecdotally, I used to have ‘clot-like’ symptoms, especially after traveling and especially after eating sugar/gluten. Strange traveling pains in limbs, often moving to chest/head/stomach. Aspirin helped a little, maybe. 100mg Nattokinase would completely resolve symptoms. After 6 months of regularly taking nattokinase, symptoms faded, only coming back occasionally after a long flight.

          I recommend it to covid patients in particular. Fibrolytic effect is said to peak ~12 hours after ingestion.

    • Tech Priest says:

      Vitamin D does rather better in observational studies than in RCTs. One possible reason for this is that sunlight may be strongly beneficial through some mechanism other than making vitamin D, but the vitamin D is showing benefit in the observational studies as a proxy for sunlight exposure. In which case getting some sun exposure would be a good idea.

    RIA Novosti. Russian Kalibr missiles struck a command post of Ukrainian troops near the village of Shirokaya Dacha in Dnipropetrovsk Region, killing dozens of generals and officers, Defense Ministry spokesman Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov said. A working meeting of the command staff of the operational-strategic grouping of troops “Alexandria” was held there at the time, he explained.

    “As a result of the strike more than 50 generals and officers of the AFU, including the General Staff, the command of the grouping of troops “Kakhovka”, airborne assault troops and formations operating in the Nikolaevsk and Zaporozhye directions were destroyed,” the general said.

      Hmm, there’s some contesting from Ukraine about just what was hit and who was killed.

      Meanwhile, also via Vox Day: UK military folks making noises about war with Russia. Holy freakin shit the entire western world is ruled by insane people. I mean we’ve all known this for years, but every now and then it hits you again:

      Britain’s armed forces must be ready and willing to fight Russia in Europe, a former head of UK Special Forces warned today. [Sweet jumping Jesus.] General Sir Adrian Bradshaw, former director of Special Forces, said the UK must help Nato allies prevent giving Vladimir Putin ‘an opening’ to widen the war in Ukraine into a battle against the West.

      The former senior officer’s intervention follows an extraordinary announcement by the new head of the British Army.

      General Sir Patrick Sanders, who assumed overall command last week, warned soldiers at the weekend ‘we are the generation that must prepare the Army to fight in Europe once again’ as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine rocks global stability.

        > Hmm, there’s some contesting from Ukraine about just what was hit and who was killed.

        We have Russian propaganda and we have Ukrainian propaganda.

        But, when the Russians are on target, the Ukrainians need to conceal target confirmation, so will necessarily always deny. We know the Ukrainians would, for military reasons, not just propaganda reasons, deny.

        Both sides are finally starting to figure out Information Epoch warfare. War is a stern teacher, but a good one.

        My examination of the propaganda of both sides suggests that Russian propaganda consists of talking up small victories, and ignoring and rationalizing away defeats and failures without explicitly denying them, while Ukrainian propaganda contains a whole lot of flat out Baghdad Bob style blatant lying.

        The Russians will attack, fail, fall back in good order, and report on their great successes in keeping good order in the face of Ukrainian advance and making the advancing enemy pay a heavy price when the enemy got careless. The Ukrainians will just flat out lie barefaced.

        • Kunning Druegger says:

          How does Russia handle big victories? It may be wise to just pretend everything is business as usual, even if they did pull off a stunning decapitation.

          • jim says:

            Well, they really have not had any big victories. Just quite a lot of small victories, which are slowly adding up. Quite slowly.

            They concentrate their attrition in one spot, and the Ukes hold, but it costs the Ukes. Then they concentrate, unpredictably, in another spot, which forces the Ukes to move reluctant and exhausted troops around. And sometimes the troops being sent to the new spot decline to go there, and sometimes, not very often, the Uke line falls apart on the new spot, and the Russians grab a decent fifty square kilometres of so of not very valuable territory full of land mines and booby traps.

            Most of the city of Severodonetsk, capital of the Luhansk district, was abandoned without a fight. Most of the troops that were supposed to defend it decided it was time to take a swim across the river, having received orders that inflicted a terrible cost one time too often. The loyalist troops rounded up a bunch of civilians as hostages against the Russians, and are currently holed up in the massive reinforced concrete chemical plant, which is hard to shell to bits, and the Russians are reluctant to shell it to bits because of the hostages, and they are also reluctant to try to press an advance with hostile troops behind them that might take advantage of difficulties during the advance to stage a breakout. So they are just waiting for the troops in the factory to get hungry, which will take a while.

            As victories go, well it is a significant victory. Except they still have a heavily armed nest of enemy troops with civilian hostages inside the city.

        It abruptly became less liquid as a result of sanctions, and other assets are becoming more liquid as a result of people fleeing regulatory burden, but it still the most liquid asset in the world, and is likely to remain so for quite a while, even when its value radically and rapidly declines.

    Here’s a link of Auron MacIntyre having a discussion with Carl Benjamin, the internet personality formerly known as Sargon of Akkad:

    https://youtu.be/oxj2UHwEH0k (01:40:38)

    In and of itself, it’s quite interesting to see how this guy has changed over time. There’s a lot packed into this discussion, but I would like to focus on his response to MacIntyre when MacIntyre invites him to critique or comment on NRx as a group (01:19:25). Benjamin implores NRx to “get off the internet.” In the act of qualifying this admonition, Benjamin blithely States that monarchy will not just magically take over after liberalism goes away, and he asserts that whatever the post liberal order is, it will most likely be a synthesis of liberalism and whatever topples it.

    Here’s the assignment: right at least two paragraphs in response to sargon’s assertion; state whether you agree with it or not, explain why you have taken this position, then summarize what the synthesis will be, or what the replacement that has no liberal synthesis will be.

    The deadline for submission is the next assignment, so conceivably you have forever, but most likely a week or two. To make my life marginally easier, please only respond to this comment with your submission and post any responses to the idea, positive or negative, in a separate or different comment. Or don’t, I have literally zero enforcement capability in this situation

    • Kunning Drueger says:

      I agree with Benjamin’s assertion because I think it is couched within historical precedent. Barring and invasion and occupation by an outside force that has no liberal tendencies or vestigial forms, whatever governance structure that arises to replace the liberal order will be a patchwork of various elements and factions from within said order. It is highly unlikely that there will be time or space for the New Order to drive every element of their governance structure X nihilo, so by necessity, they will be forced to use certain liberal forms.

      The synthesis that replaces the liberal order will be contingent upon the ideology or structure that comes to inhabit the antithetical position in a hegelian framework. There are multiple ideologies and frameworks that can and do act as an antithesis the liberal thesis. Indeed, this diversity of sentiment is a part of how the liberal order maintains its position despite its overwhelming incompetence and sclerosis. Just as the synthesis that will replace the liberal thesis will be a hybrid that contains one or more antitheses, so too will be antithesis itself be in amalgam of the extent factions.

      No single representative of the antithetical class has everything needed to take on, defeat, and replace the liberal order. We monarchists have the motive, but lack the means. Every antithetical faction is lacking in opportunity in the current year, but the Dynamics of the Holiness spiral means that the rare opportunities are about to become a lot less rare. Thus, whichever faction can find natural allies that hold the missing pieces will be prominent in the successor regime.

      The most significant barrier facing each of the different factions of the antithesis is the hesitance or inability to compromise with any or all of their fellow antithetes. defection that can square this circle the most elegantly in the least amount of time will be the natural leader of the hybrid antithesis.

      I am making good progress on my answer to that problem.

    • kawaii_kike says:

      I suppose I agree with Sargon, but I’m hesitant because I’m not sure where liberalism ends and post liberal begins. I think its most likely that one of the demon factions of progressivism conquers the others but it’s difficult to imagine a post liberal order that’s not insane but still to the left of NRx. I could see the head of the FBI or some other glownigger seizing power under the premise of saving democracy but would that be toppling liberalism or merely a continuation of the leftist onslaught?

      The only prospects of a new order without liberal synthesis that I can see would be Warlord factions similar to China’s warlord era or NRx; I don’t see how anything else could topple liberalism and come out without its influence.

        Yes, whites have repeatedly invented democracy, and are the only race that has seriously and effectively implemented it.

        And repeatedly had disastrous moral and social decline leading them to repeatedly return to Kings and aristocracy.

        We have been on this road many a time before.

        Republics are always short lived, and their ending always terrible. The wheel of history turns, and it is now turning again, with the same causes as many times before leading to the same effects as many times before. We have been around this merry go round many times before.

        The founding fathers analyzed past attempts, and thought they had a fix, but their fix proved to have the usual fatal flaw.

        If you want to argue that it is different this time, I will allow that argument through and respond to it. Buy, being a shill, you would have to get approval from your boss, and the boss would have to get approval from Human Resources, who would probably feels that noticing white history is racially discriminatory, and presupposes the obviously heretical doctrine that we can learn from dead white males.

          “Republics are always short lived, and their ending always terrible.”

          I will have to quibble with that. Aristocratic Venetian Republic ran for approx 1000 years until Napoleon stopped that.

          And Swiss Direct Democracy has quite a long run time with no apparent ill effects from within. Of course there is problems but the poz didn’t originate or run particularly virulent there.

          The trick is that they are small scale and the people that make up them are relatively high quality.

        I allowed the leading fragment of your post through, because you led with a real argument, one to which your audience is likely to be sympathetic, but then, while continuing to supposedly argue for your purported thesis, you then proceeded to presuppose, as shared consensus, shared by everyone, a whole lot supposed reality, that we certainly do not share, and large part an official reality that scarcely anyone believes any more, that not only do we not believe, but normies do not believe either.

        Except for the very first sentence, all your arguments that Kings are unlikely are not arguments that Kings are unlikely, but merely wagons to carry the actual payload, which is fake consensus, a consensus that even normies are starting to disbelieve.

      Disagree with Sargon frame
      He assume a frame of linear history which is a cathedral tenet (the progressive march for ever perfect/purer left) not gonna hold this against him, everyone is brought up with this thinking.
      As jim fond of saying, paraphrasing, ” we have been on this road many time before” history don’t repeat but rhythm
      Left become ever left until reach singularity, stalin arise and stop it, if lucky Caesar come before, worst case singularity continue until dark age with most people dead.
      Wither the monarch is Caesar or general butnacked you will always get a strong man.
      If the qustion what is the order after the singularity stoped?
      Then this is interesting, here probably I will agree with sargon, if there is no alternative to post liberal order, stalin will rule with dead cathedral religion

      • jim says:

        Stalin was huge improvement. The terror against the elite was necessary to end the terror against the people and the destruction of Russia’s productive capability. They call it the “Great” Terror, because they cheerfully forget the the Liquidation of the Kulaks.

        • jim says:

          When people talk about Stalin’s great success in industrializing, they neglect to mention that in the events leading to the great terror, Russia suffered radical and rapid de-industrialization, and by 1940 Russia was only back to roughly comparable parity with the other great powers that it had previously had.

          I suspect that this may well have caused the Rothschild bankruptcy and their resulting loss of power. The Rothschild financial strategy was to use their money and their depositor’s money to foment war and revolution, and use the resulting political power to gain control of other people’s money. Which strategy in Russia succeeded in gaining political power, but the resulting money failed to materialize. The plans of evil are often marred by evil.

    • Pax Imperialis says:

      “Here’s the assignment” Christ, with that terminology (Military/DoD would say mission) you must be an academic or State Department (same thing really)! Kidding aside, I think Benjamin gets several major things wrong. This will be somewhat winding of a post for I’m drinking far to much again and have far too much time on my hands curtsy of covid (vax) complications. Hopefully it’s coherent.

      NRx aligned views, at least in my personal experiences (as limited as they are) aren’t really internet dependent. Rather they seem to largely be concentrated among those in close proximity to power be it that they work for it or are the legacy inheritors. They are insiders… but also outsiders… Yarvin certainly was. How common that is remains a mystery, as real world data is scarce, but considering that Yarvin’s biggest public sympathizers appears in places like the Caremont Institute or Fox News (Tucker Carlson has the same education and social sphere of any normal swamp creature) which are legacy institutions closely tied to power… Hell, even the little that is known about figures like Michael Malice or H.E. Negash points to Cathedral proximity. I suspect that my suspicion is largely true. On a side note Sargon of Akkad always struck me as a pleb. Plebs are often virtuous and valuable to power be it a Cathedral like power or a dissident power interested in restoration, but they lack insight into the inner workings of power. Just how much Plebian intellectual influence existed in the restoration of Rome by the Caesars?

      So Benjamin imploring NRx to “get off the internet” seems to start off at a false a priori. Not that it’s entirely wrong, just that the sphere of intellectual influence is overly vague if not entirely wrong in framing. The internet might be the main vehicle of communication, in much the way that the public forums of Rome were the main vehicle of communication, but that says nothing about the groups within the forums speaking to each other or what is happening under the surface.

      A more correct version of what Benjamin should be saying is: “get away from (Cathedral) power.” Which is easier said than done especially if one is already submerged in it. Heck, even Benjamin as a YouTube personality is playing with power! Even more so if one is born into it as a legacy inheritor. What the internet did was allow NRx aligned voices to find out they weren’t alone. “Reactionary” views are fairly common in DoD (and I suspect in the wider government outside DC), but highly censored by both oneself and highers such that one can never know if such views are particular to oneself or indicative of a wider audience. The internet gave coherence to those ideas which gave them power in parallel to power. Telling NRx sympathetic to get off the internet is akin to stop contesting parallel power completely. Not too dissimilar to Yarvin advocating disengagement with power (the Cathedral), but it goes beyond Yarvin as to advocate not forming parallel power at all.

      “he asserts that whatever the post liberal order is, it will most likely be a synthesis of liberalism and whatever topples it.”

      This is perhaps the greatest point of disagreement I have. Regime change does typically retain aesthetics of the previous regime. Calling that a synthesis of ideology is wrong. Aesthetics are not the same as qualitative realities. The Roman Empire vs the Roman Republic both felt distinctly Roman in aesthetics. The mechanism of governance where completely different. Any such regime change in America or the wider west will be the same. The new regime will speak in much of the same terms as the founding fathers or western “liberalism” but share little in real operation similarity. It will fly the same flag with, hopefully, all 50 stars. It will sing the same songs of liberty and freedom. It will not have the same institutions of power. It will strive to achieve liberty and freedom in completely different methods.

      Look at historical precedent. The antebellum America was distinctly different from post civil war America. Yet Americans still shared the same aesthetics and political language. The Russians of today still share many of the same aesthetics of the Soviet Union (some of those Russian Tankers drove into Ukraine with Soviet flags), but they are completely different in an almost diametrically opposed ways. Much in the same way that Orthodox Tsarist Russia was the complete opposite of Atheist Communist Soviet Union. “Monarchical” UK appears to share much of the traditions as the Magna Carta Libertatum England of old, yet in reality shares nothing. The French still sing!

      “To arms, citizens,
      Form your battalions,
      March, march!
      Let an impure blood
      Water our furrows!”

      That isn’t the France of today yet they still identify with it!

      A sense of political continuity is often established by a continuity of cultural icons, but that shouldn’t be conflated with actual political continuity. Shared continuity of cultural iconography is often mistaken as a continuity of political structure. A most devious and useful psychological trick that any new regime should take advantage of!

      So who are the American dissidents (and on a wider question, who are the western dissidents?)? Many see the rot of modern/woke/liberal society and political structure but love their cultural heritage, They love America/France/England/etc in the the vague yet definite cultural definitions of those nations. A Frenchman would be hard pressed to define what is French yet would always know it when he sees it much in the same way an American Judge once said he has a difficult time defining pornography yet will definitely know it when he sees it. These dissidents often hate and completely reject the political structure. They love their culture.

      The new regime will not be a synthesis of liberalism and whatever topples it. Rather it will be a continuation of the underlying cultural iconography (political iconography may get carried over as well) with a seemingly diametrically opposing political system hidden underneath shared iconography that is falsely seen as continuation. Benjamin is mistaking far older cultural aesthetics with current day liberalism, but his culture’s aesthetics predate liberalism entirely as do the cultures of America/France/etc.

      ________________ Skip here for TL;DR________________

      The post liberal older will not be a political/religious synthesis of liberalism and whatever topples it, but it will have a shared cultural aesthetic that will give an illusion of continuity and thus an illusion of political synthesis. Something that any regime change should take advantage of.

      ________________Off topic, feel free to ignore_________

      Hopefully this (short essay) didn’t come off as overly Jewish in semantics (I’m East Asian American I swear!), although I did go through and survived the heavily Judaically influence modern American academic system (Masters degree) so I might as well be a “Jew”… Drunk humor aside… I hope there were some useful insights in here. I’m rambling and I know it. Much thanks to spell checker.

      Which reminds me of a previous point of discussion here about nothing of importance being taught in the university system for engineers (and technical fields in general). I was deeply depressed entering graduate school having to bury several close family members, and was basically an alcoholic drinking at least 6 high ABV beers a day and for the most part only attending classes for exams. I sometimes even forgot to show up for the exams as well… Still completed my masters program in a “top 50” public university engineering program. Still got a 6 figure before quitting it to go into the military. If memory serves me correctly Anonymous Fake was bitching about the academics system being unfair about how education doesn’t lead to good jobs. Academia is largely pay to win, and I’m sympathetic to those who were burned by that system. It’s horrifying we put such stock on a system that doesn’t really measure anything except willingness to pay.

      If any of you ever end up enacting the new regime. I pray that you put an end to that atrocity.

      • Kunning Drueger says:

        Considering the source material and responses further, it occurs to me that Benjamin’s assertion is predicated on the consistent occurrence of elements of the bureaucracy, sometimes quite large elements, pass through the Change more or less intact. This can be accidental, intentional, or even unavoidable, depending on the situation. For the most part, I think it’s laziness or cowardice or master procedural outcome manipulators doing what they do best: surviving. Who/what/whichever wins, if they truly wish to “break the mold,” will need to, above all else, break this cycle.

        For the record, I am the first 101 level instructor at the nascent Antiversity. I’m the first one you’ll deal with before you get passed off into the rarified ranks of the anti-Masters.

        • Pax Imperialis says:

          Institutions are people, The most obvious example is the Supreme Court where the difference of a single justice can sway the court and its culture. Suppose the hypothetical in which the court is stacked full of Alito and Thomas clones. Sure, the institution is the “same,” it’s still called the Supreme Court, it might even have a similar culture, but it would be such a large departure from current norms it would be something completely different. The equivalent nightmare example would be a court full of Kagan and Ginsburg clones.

          “the consistent occurrence of elements of the bureaucracy, sometimes quite large elements, pass through the Change more or less intact.”

          The men and women of the American bureaucracy of today are an highly insular and exclusive group. Exponentially so as you get closer to DC. These institutions from the outside are so massive and incomprehensible that they look like monolithic faceless gray suits. Dissidents are isolated and purged as we see with FBI and similar getting rid of conservatives. DoD reserves the purging for higher Officer ranks otherwise it wouldn’t have a military.

          What would happen in any real regime change would be that the doors at both the low end and the high end gets opened up to all the previous undesirables (middle America). Just opening the door at the high end results in bureaucracy not following along with directives. Just opening the door at the low end results in your personnel never advancing into the heart of the organization. Opening at both ends allows the institutional heart to be outflanked and taken over because the high end provides political cover for the friendly low end to march through the institution.

          Conservative presidents have made the mistake of thinking that the bureaucracy is just like the Supreme Court in that appointing at the very top level is all that’s needed to exert influence. Possible for an organization that is only 9 coequal big bosses and their clerks. Not possible for a multi million personnel government with an uncountable number of small bosses who effect day to day operations.

          The crux of my argument is that most regime changes that appear to retain elements of the previous bureaucracy do so only in name and appearance. By the time most regimes fall, their bureaucracies have become highly insular and exclusive groups. Those groups get cracked wide open from the top and the bottom. The new people entering tend to have little to no respect for the old regime’s culture and values and ways to doing things. In America’s case, the new people that would enter given the chance absolutely hate everything about the current regime. They won’t get assimilated into the previous culture, rather they’ll make life so insufferable for the left overs of the previous regime that the remnants either defect or retire.

          Imagine what would happen to State Department if all new entry level hires where good old boys from Georgia/Alabama/etc and all the top level appointments were also a bunch of good old boys from the South. Or in a more personalized hypothetical, imagine what would happen to a university if a new president fired all the deans, replaced them with (smart) hicks, and only hired hicks for the all new entry level positions. The hick deans would provide political cover for the hick assistant professors who mysteriously are the only ones getting promoted. Eventually the university becomes something completely different even if it’s still called a university.

          Lets look at real world example of DoD (The Pentagon in particular). 1940s DoD had people like Curtis LeMay and George Patton. DoD in the 1940s was capable of indiscriminate mass killings. Today’s DoD has generals who personally travel to Afghan villages to apologize. They break down and cry in front of Afghans over accidental killings. There was a quiet regime change in the 1960s-1980s. There’s nothing that relates DoD of today to DoD of 1940 besides name and symbols. There’s another quiet regime change going on right now. Examination of KGB to FSB show much of the same level of disconnect even though FSB is thought of as just a reskinned KGB.

          What we really see with regime change is:

          “the consistent occurrence of aesthetics of the previous regime and bureaucracy, sometimes quite large elements, pass through the Change more or less intact.”

          But those aesthetics do not reflect operational reality.

          • Kunning Drueger says:

            All good points, and I will try to circle back and respond later, but I’m going to pull a nasty academic trick and reframe the discussion:

            Benjamin’s core argument for the Liberal order persisting in some way in the new regime was predicated on the desire of the populace to retain the things they like (read: demand) from the old order. They won’t tolerate all of their rights (read: privileges) being stripped away, and the new regime will be strongly incentivized to acquiesce where necessary. Depending on how the regime change occurs, things like war weariness, personnel loses, or new geopolitical realities could effect the likelihood of this possibility. The new regime would be under pressure to bring in elements of the former regime to “consult,” and thereby keep the ghost of the regime alive. This is what happened to Trump’s regime, BTW. Indeed, this is how it works now; today’s civil servants are tomorrow’s consultants are next week’s civil servants.

            There are probably other mechanisms by which bureaucracies propagate themselves through time, but this one poses an very real and substantial threat. Personally, I think a forceful paradigm shift is the best route, boldly and violently demonstrating that the new regime is completely unconcerned with whatever the dead regime was doing, and only cares about a set of narrow and deep concerns. This must be carefully balanced against the threat of accidentally spawning a parallel institution that could incidentally make the new regime redundant, but that’s probably a coup complete issue(s).

            Fame attracts women, very hard for men to pass up on that. What you need is your own group of reporters working for your side. Problem is journalism is a money losing industry without state funding. Good propaganda is costly, but as the Nazis proved it’s worth it’s weight in gold.

            • Pax Imperialis says:

              Slight caveat. There is no shortage of “reporters” working for any particular side. Propaganda is easy to heavily produce. The problem is with distribution.

              Distribution is both costly and subject to censorship by the powers that be.

              Murdoch Murdoch had surprisingly high production values all things considered. Getting it to the masses on the other hand proved difficult.

              Walt Bismarch was also exquisite and clearly the product of love… It’s also gone from YouTube.

              The problem isn’t that journalism is a money losing industry without state funding, there are plenty of true believers of any ideology to work for near free, the problem is that not all journalism can escape the current power.

            Far right wingers tend to be either womanizing chads (or former womanizing chads who are married and try not to humiliate the wife too much) or incels (or whoremongers). Neither group particularly trusts women in general very much and neither would be inclined to spill their guts to a strange one… both groups know that women lack loyalty and accountability* as men understand it.

            The simps who trust women… tend to be the sexual success equivalent of midwits and they like intellectual midwits tend to be leftists or at least cuckservatives.

Andrew Anglin was groomed for that path as well, but he turned out to be the Real Deal.

        I’ll only believe it when someone comes to talk to me. And then I’ll not talk, ofc. As much as I long for my own paladin legions, priestly struggle has to necessarily come after military strength. Modi has launched full-scale into fixing the military first. Our time will come later.

          Not seeing your reasoning or point here. Christianity was a thing for a long time, and then one day Constantine, pissed because the priests of the official religion of his army were opposing him, an opposition likely to prove fatal for him, had his army march under Christian banners.

    So the Texas GOP just passed a pretty based platform (https://texasgop.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/6-Permanent-Platform-Committee-FINAL-REPORT-6-16-2022.pdf. It explicitly reasserts Texas’s right to secession in section 33:

    “Texas retains the right to secede from the United States, and the Texas Legislature should be called upon to pass a referendum consistent thereto.”

    Seeing as how Texas is a major counterweight to leftist aims on a national scale, would we wholeheartedly welcome Texan secession, or hope to hold onto them as a prime ally for reaction on a national scale? Also, what would secession mean for a post-Texas USA, which would be even more leftist than before on the whole?

    • jim says:

      Platforms get routinely ignored. They are just intended to re-assure the faithful. Cuckservatives will enthusiastically vote for them without a second thought in conference, and then utterly ignore them in the legislature and their offices.

      The platform is a re-assertion of the old faith of the Republic, Nature’s God. Which has a whole lot in common with reaction. But subsequent developments were a result of the bad seed in that old faith. And this old faith, though an enormous improvement on its degenerate successors, is not a viable faith in a time of decadent elites.

      The way forward is Christian National Capitalism, which we can see taking root among the Ultra Maga insurrectionists in the Republican Party, one of whom was recently arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to prevent his election being stolen.

    • Pooch says:

      I don’t think secession can happen. The fundamental underlying incentive behind secession of the Civil War was economic, not religious or social.

      The aristocracy of the self-sufficient agrarian slave economy South was going to lose a lot of money by freeing their slaves and were incentivized heavily to resist the immediate transition to an industrialized economy and society.

      We don’t have these regional economic dynamics at play anymore in the US. The US is uniformly a post-industrial society, so I think secession is not in the cards.

      • Jamesthe1st says:

        What about oil though? The Federal green cult regulations treaten to eventually cut off the Texas economy which is oil dependent.

        • ExileStyle says:

          A more realistic route is to effectively if not actually secede via asserting constitutional 10th Amendment rights. Actual secession is unlikely, but if they simply cease paying attention to/enforcing undesirable federal laws they could eventually become sovereign in everything but name.

          This could be an effective strategy for red states going forward. Or in fact all states, leading to federal devolution. Blue states are already making moves like this with their “sanctuary state” rhetoric and legislation.

          If enough states start simply ignoring the federal government, their resources for enforcement will start to be spread thin and could at least dilute their power.

          The problem is the oil industry is dominated by large globocorps controlled by the national elite.

            This may not actually be the case for drilling and prospecting, but it does seem to be the case for refining.

              The rapidly diminishing small business owners exist but they are not elite. Middle class.

              If the elite had their druthers, would put all small business out of business and replace them with globocorps. A lot of their decisions, when viewed through this lenses, makes total sense including black violence and the raising of gas prices. Small businesses just represent money the elite haven’t stolen yet.

            • Pooch says:

              Unrelated and irrelevant to the conversation.

              The discussion is not about the oil industry producing or not producing. It is about who controls the oil industry, a local regional Texan elite or the national US elite.

              • Kunning Drueger says:

                No single entity, or even a score of entities, controls the oil industry. So many faults from top to bottom. Cathedral propaganda terms is relevant to this discussion, because they maintain the lie that some cabal of wealthy white men in a hidden boardroom full of cigar smoke are making all the decisions. I’d go as far as saying no single Major could solo a Discovery to Delivery. Literally hundreds of companies, consultancies, and contractors are necessary throughout the entire process. Refining is the one category wherein direct control is exerted by the Majors and/or governments.

                • Pooch says:

                  It’s long been known the large globocorps collaborate and collude with each other, with the political ruling class providing legal and political protection for their oligopolies.

                  In fact, members of the political families sit on their boards. I see no meaningful distinction between the globocorps and the elite. It’s the same class of people.

                  The oil corporations are outer party through and through. Biden attacking the oil industry is just inter-Uniparty conflict.

                  The inner party attacking the outer party, which differs significantly the situation of the Civil War where you had two sets of regional elites with two completely separately ways of life and culture.

                • jim says:

                  Refineries are custom made as enormous one off jobs. We need a Musk who mass produces refinery components that fit into a container, and can be bolted together on site with the minimum of fuss, the way Musk mass produces rockets.

                  Mass production of mass production capability is the next industrial revolution. Housing and offices should be built out panels that fit inside a shipping container. But mass production of early twentieth century high tech components, such as refinery components, is likely to give better return on investment. Housing benefits less.

              • The Cominator says:

        The south always understood this as a Holy War, understood this as a massive centralization of power in the land, from state executives to federal executives. If you scratch lightly at the rhetoric of the time, this becomes clear.

        Reasoning aside, I agree with your assertion. Secession largely cannot happen because we are now a fractal mess of tribal alliances with an overarching, largely enemy, mono-culture. It is simply unthinkable for too many people, and the logistics are too insurmountable, and the resulting retaliation would be too ferocious to withstand for any singular state. Perhaps in the future, when things become so much worse economically, and when the commies cannot keep it in their pants and have bee ell em squads bussed into previously remote white neighborhoods under protection of federal agents, this will be reconsidered. Then again, the answer will just as likely be to take the crown instead of break the kingdom.

            The South didn’t understand politics. They were fine with immigration despite the fact immigrants went primarily to the North. Even without a conflict with the North this would mean over time they gradually lose out as the North gains move weight in congress and the electoral college.

            It is worse when you realize they banned the importation of slaves in 1808 in part because that would drive up the value of existing slaves. Banning adding more free labor through immigration accomplishes the same thing!

            The South should have recognized this as a holy war, and gone after Harvard, not Fort Sumter. They needed to kill every male in the general vicinity of Harvard, enslave every fertile age woman, and carry them off. That was the only possible way to end the war.

            Lincoln’s offers of compromise might well have been sincere, but he subscribed to a priesthood who had tasted blood. The priesthood would have pocketed the compromise, and demanded a further compromise. The people who sponsored terrorism against the slave states intended war without end. The compromise would not have ended terror, but escalated it.

        >The US is uniformly a post-industrial society

        Strong disagree. There is absolutely a hierarchy of States. There’s always a hierarchy. And there’s a ton of growth potential in States that are low due to the demonic agenda of their dominant elites (see: California, Virginia, Colorado, New York). Trump demonstrated explicitly that no magic wand is required to reindustrialize. Musk is demonstrating that pivoting and relocating can dramatically alter the potentials. Desantis and Noem have and are demonstrating that FedGov is by no means universally dominant.

        Just as we are now closer than ever before to a strategic nuclear exchange because Russia is no longer communist (which flies in the face of the common knowledge understanding of the Cold War dynamic), so too are we close to potential balkanization precisely because some States have the leadership, geography, and connections to stand alone. If the Petrodollar System collapses, I’d say the potential for balkanization or Boog becomes nearly 100%.

            I’m sure the Chinese can make good stuff, but it never seems to get into the industries I have contact with. I’ve never once in my life heard an engineer, technician, or laborer praise Chinese products, or even choose them, over literally every other possible option. This was a while ago, but I remember a lighting package with a bunch of legit and Chinese knockoff HMI lights. The legit ones were over a decade old, the chink cans were literally fresh out the box. Not a single one survived the production. The only thing China has going for it is quantity, and this will be true until they actually are forced to compete without rigging the game, or picking games with a built in advantage.

            Consider: Chinese missiles are awesome on paper, so much so that the Aircraft Carrier may be an obsolete technology… in the South China Sea. This is not a global advantage.

            The Chinese navy is the largest in the world… but they can’t do long deployments or operate without constant shore based support, resupply, and crew renewal. A navy that’s never fought a battle at sea is an expensive collection of set pieces for propaganda videos (this applies everywhere, not just China).

      Plenty of people make their bread and butter by taking our ideas and watering them down for mass, public consumption.

      (It goes without saying — OF COURSE — that we’ll have to purge/disenfranchise those people eventually.)

      • Kunning Druegger says:

        If they are twisting Jimian Christianity for evil purposes, sure. But why purge/disenfranchise people inclined to carry our message to a wider audience? We may need to correct translation errors and clarify ambiguities, of course.

          LOL. excellent.

          Well, I do get jittery, perhaps a little too jittery, with anticipation whenever the topic of Minesweeper comes up. (Which isn’t exactly ideal — because it is often that a more… balanced approach yields superior results. The carrot rather than the stick, etc.).

          But in this case your post reminded me of certain groups of former self-professed rightists now on the take with Globohomo. (Or on the take withh Globohomo-adjacent forces — it’s really difficult to tell from a distance.)

      • jim says:

        Checking both the old and new testaments, we find that both Moses and Jesus recommended a policy of tolerance and encouragement for people who were preaching something like their faith, but not actually their faith, to those outside the faith.

        And, checking both the old and new testaments, we find that as soon as those faiths had some success, people started preaching something like their faith, but not actually their faith, to those inside the faith, whereupon Moses and the apostles applied a vigorous policy of intolerance.

        • alf says:

          I believe Jesus said something along the lines of: ‘if his heart is in the right place, and he is not causing trouble, let him do his thing.’

          Which implies that if the heart is in the wrong place and starts causing a bunch of trouble that can’t be ignored, vigorous policy of intolerance. Moses slaughtered thousands of his own tribe for worshipping false gods. (Com, notice the manner in which Moses handled himself. He said, ‘hey guys, I’m totally gone for a couple of days I trust you to not misbehave.’ Came back, they were grossly misbehaving, and thus gave Moses an excuse to commit genocide in a Christian manner. Moses undoubtedly knew many of them were troublemakers from way before, but he waited for the right opportunity.)

          In Peterson’s case, I find it a bit hard to discern where his heart is at. He speaks plainly about transgender surgery, but not so plainly about women. But, he is not causing any trouble for us.

          • Kunning Drueger says:

            JBP drives men towards us. This alone makes him useful.

            The WQ is the hardest pill to swallow and keep down. After all these years and thousands upon scores of thousands of words, many regulars here still harbor blue pill fragments. Every facet of our society is constructed to lie about race and sex, because the Cathedral ceaselessly seeks to immanentize something so wrong, so fake, so obviously incorrect. They start with kids that are pre-verbal and non-ambulatory, and continue up to the literal eulogy. They do this because it contravenes reality, such that a thousand hours of social programming on equality can be undone by 5 minutes of conversation, or 5 seconds of interaction. But all those hours stack up and stick around. It forms a sort of false conscience, a second and sinful still, small voice, ceaselessly whispering: it can’t be all women, surely not all negros, etc.

            • ExileStyle says:

              A great example of this, and an area in need of more memetic attention, is in the whole Tranny Cult and Drag Queen Story Hour thing. Bluepilled conservatives are losing their minds (rightfully) about this while failing (inexcusably) to ask: Who is bringing these children to these events? Who are the ones pushing children into hormonal and genital mutilation from ages where the human memory has hardly even begun to form?

              It’s not the trannies and queers themselves (yet) but the mothers – spooky child-sacrificing Queen of the Night-style mothers – who bring their young to the temples of these new gods, whether directly by placing their severed organs upon the altars or implicitly by allowing them to get lost in the sacrificial labyrinth of public schools.

              The right needs to start talking way, way more about the wicked mothers behind all of this, not just allowing but actively encouraging it to happen.

            • Adam says:

              JBP was on my path here, and much of my internal dialogue and model was built from watching his lectures and podcasts.

              The problem is deeper than the cathedral. It starts with boys being taught and disciplined by their mothers. Many men grow up and disregard their mothers opinion, but many more do not. Many keep seeking out validation from women, teachers, girlfriends/wives etc. It’s a never ending problem.

              • alf says:

                Huh so we actually do have a JPB–>Jim pipeline. Lol.

                • Kunning Drueger says:

                  Cathedral media is a torrent, so any type of resistance creates eddies and and pressure differentials. If JBP is supposed to trap minds and prevent them from going down a redpill path, he’s failing horribly. Notice how the critique he gets from our sphere is how he’s not going far enough, not covering enough, leaving important things unspoken. As opposed to, he’s saying the wrong things (I know there’s contention on this point).

                  Lord Thundercock’s “Dunbar Matrioshka” system is incredibly powerful and not at all constrained to social networks. It applies to memeplexis and information sources as well. JBP is not within the BJC/DailyStormer/??? set. It’s probably not even adjacent, but it is downstream, and that stream is continuous though obstructed, meaning barriers must be circumvented with skill or luck. You don’t need to jump to a non-contiguous DM set to get from JBP to BJC. With a high enough IQ, you could go straight to Jung from JBP and land on Jim, though I think the usual route is probably more circuitous.

                • alf says:

                  I don’t like how his daughter is thotting all over the place. Otherwise, sure, happy to see people matruschka their way over here.

                • Kunning Drueger says:

                  Again, we see the primacy of the WQ. As well, we see that no amount of intellect or analysis will save you from the consequences of female emancipation. I can almost guarantee you that her heart is in the right place. I bet she’s breddy smarb too. But bother brain and heart stand squarely behind her vagina when it comes to making decisions. The irony of course is that JBP knows this, but by marrying himself to the Rationalist Wing, he does not get to use the “Obey me, thot; our God commands it” framework. So he engages in a discussion amongst equals; the poisoned fruit.

              • Pooch says:

                I know nothing about JBP. Have not watched more than 2 seconds of him, but if he is speaking out against feminism, even gently, then I tend to think he’s more with us than against us. Feminism is the root of all evil.

            • alf says:

              JBP drives men towards us. This alone makes him useful.

              Does he? Or does he act as a gatekeeper to keep his fans from tuning into ‘real womanhaters’ like us? Do we have anyone here who started out with JPB and ended with Jim?

              I don’t know the answers to these questions. He is probably useful on the whole. Might be more useful down the road, might be more obstructive down the road. Might just produce the same low information/noise ratio that men in his position tend to produce.

              • Adam says:

                I listened to him on Rogans podcast about 6 years ago or so. Started turning my life around immediately, ended up here.

                I’ve gone through his maps of meaning lectures and biblical lectures a couple of times each. I always learn something new when I do.

                Hes not really a big dominant figure, but he has a lot of courage and he gives that away when he talks, and I think that’s what men are getting from him that they are not getting elsewhere.

                • Adam says:

                  He’s really good to give to your blue pilled normie friends. I’ve got a bunch of friends that follow him now, and my conversations with them have lead to more reactionary conversations.

              • Shooter McGavin says:

                Upon few minutes reflection I can say that I started with JBP. He was the first time I had ever heard of the Soviet gulag which just goes to show you how bad history in public schools is. Heard plenty about the Holocaust and slavery but nothing about the Soviets, Khmer Rouge, or any Marxist violence which would put even the fake 6 million Jew death toll to shame. JBP accidentally redpills people just by talking basic history.

                • Guy says:

                  Peterson is good because he was clearly striving after truth, and in the process explained a lot of old philosophies and myths to young people who had only heard critical analysis of their strawmen. He also has a decent model of consciousness, not explanatory, but how it functions on a large scale in a human. At some point he hit a wall, there’s a famous video of him saying “I can’t go there”when asked a question about the Holodomor and the Jews’ role in it (maybe a Soros shill there damning the Jews’ by omission), but I think more that he can’t face his weaknesses as a man himself, there’s clearly something off with his daughter… and he’s definitely an overly emotional attention seeker who likes to dress up in fancy suits.

                  Anyway point is he was a stop on the road to radicalization for me I suppose. Although I was always much further to the right than him I did find him before finding this place and got deep into his stuff for a while.

                • Adam says:

                  His liberal values are causing him some problems. It’s like he’s trying to have his cake and eat it too. And he’s a boomer, subject to the same conditioning as every other boomer.

                  You can tell he’s under a lot of stress when he talks with guys like Sam Harris. It’s not that he’s not smart enough. He’s just trying to make things compatible, that are not compatible.

                  It’s funny because he’s really knowledgeable on things like alcoholism and addiction, but it seems like he doesn’t really understand spirituality in practice. There seems to be this disconnect as far as his own self awareness.

                  It seems like he’s a guy that’s trying to be too many things at once that are in conflict with one another. Eventually crime stop kicks in and prevents him from potential growth.

                  If he fully embraced straight white male patriarchy and all that that entails and ditched all that other crap things would clear right up for him. I think he’s too afraid to do it because nazis.

              • yewotm8 says:

                I can’t find the clip now (youtube search seems very good at hiding thoughtcrime), but Peterson was the first person I heard suggest that women want rapefugees to be let in precisely because they will rape them and put them in their place, and that “western” men just weren’t doing it for them as we’d become too unwilling to do the needful.

                He apparently hasn’t said it since, so likely deems it too dangerous, but I don’t think that’s very good gatekeeping.

  79. Cloudswrest says:

    This current mainstream fetishization of the word “science” is starting to get to me. I’ve been around for a long time and I don’t recall the word “science” being used as a verb until relatively recently. Example, a recent tweet on the Webb telescope.

    Good news: As of today, 7 out of Webb’s 17 instrument modes are ready for science! …

    I see it everywhere now by the media organs and it’s driving me crazy. It’s like their pushing this “enlightenment rationality” theme to the max.

    • Pooch says:

      Ask them where does science come from and watch their head explode.

    • Red says:

      Reminds me of the 90s cartoon Spiderman TV show for kids. Science was a used verb all the time. Of course that was a kid’s show… kind shows the level at which most of this shitheads are at. Science is a cargo cult that the natives worship as a god.

    • notglowing says:

      I absolutely hate it. The fetishization and politicization of science has escalated to a ridiculous level lately and it has left me disgusted.
      I originally wanted to become a scientist myself, though I feel quite disillusioned.

      There’s also a sort of reaction from some right wing circles now where they just deny science entirely, and claim it was never accurate or honest. Which is one of those memetic dead-end ideas people here talked about.
      In fact it can include some of those particular memetic dead end ideas, including denying heliocentrism or evolution entirely.

    • Fireball says:

      It isnt nothing new. Marx pretend that his ideas were scientific.

  80. Kunning Drueger says:

    St. Anglin contemplates our fallen God Emperor:

    https://stormer-daily.rw/trump-warns-of-world-war-iii/

    […]
    “Although it could possibly be that the US is so completely wrecked by 2024 that World War III is impossible – in which case it would also probably be possible for Trump to win the election, frankly. If the dollar collapses, the military collapses, the whole government is going to be a limping shell, and they’re just simply not going to have the ability to do all of these horrible things they’ve been doing. Lots of the top Jews and homos will flee to New Zealand or whatever. The fact that Ivanka threw Trump under the bus implies that if he ever was able to get back in power, he’d behave in a significantly less Jewish manner.”
    […]
    “Point being: if we’re still having a debate about whether or not we should do World War III, meaning that the dollar has not collapsed and caused the US military to collapse, Trump has zero chance. If the main debate is instead about, you know, not having electricity or food, hyperinflation, roving bands of negro youth slaughtering families, then Trump will probably be able to win, just because the machine won’t have the power anymore.”
    […]
    “It’s a mixed bag, but not bad. He’s definitely not shilling vaccines anymore.”

    As we move towards high summer, the plants my woman dutifully birthed and cultivated begin to bear fruit. Even as the moisture laden heat envelopes my land, we begin to make plans for the cooling of Fall, carefully counting seeds and weighing and measuring the death soaked dirt that gestates our food. The storms conspired to kill our corn, but God offers shelter from the calamitous winds of change and uncertainty. Harvest will come, and the sewing of cold weather crops, the hardy and strange, and the fragile delicates cached away in the greenhouse, will rise renewed as their feckless spring fellows wilt and fall.

    It’s an old magik, a deep magik, the humble glow of a light fantastic. Easy to see but hard to hold, the endless dance of the new and the old. You get lost in the weeds when you sew and grow, taking as a given this give and take. Seeds from forever show up in the mail, from the truck in a box to a hole in the ground, creeping sunward slowly, then suddenly stooped. Plucked, shucked, and boiled, then turned into soup. Imagine this magik as an everyday thing, every man a farmer, every woman a mother. There’s a simple Certain that we traded for ease, and hedonic pursuit breeds uncertainty unbounded.

    Trump may be a fool, but so too am I. Can the fool make a change and again become wise? Some mistakes are so big, their consequences a dye. They straighten,c onstrain, and stain what’s inside. It’s easy to believe you’re the center of your life, but you’re just another plant, one of many in line. You grow ever upward, and in fullness of time, you bring forth your fruit, then you wither and die. So the best I can do is learn from mistakes. Letting go of the past, resting full in His grace.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kugiufHh800

    In a moment of serendipitous synchronicity, i happened to find myself crossing over a video featuring everyone’s favorite crypto-fascist, where he just so happened to discuss the story of Arjuna and Krishna on the field.

    I’ve mentioned before that a great deal of the ‘purpleness’ in 20th century Continental discourses was in fact a form of preemptive defense mechanism, by notables in the academies against being whacked by their ‘fellow travelers’ with charges of heresy. Zizek is a man who you could say has elevated this art to a sublime degree; dancing right up to the edge of sense in a way that allows his interlocutors to read what they want into it the rest of the way. This not only afforded him the ability to find regard on all sides, it also allowed him the ability to tactically redefine himself as needed against social attack – a most supremely important attribute given the circles of ‘friends’ he traffics in.

    Even the artfully sloven (or should we say, Slovenian?) appearance, behavioral tics, accentuation, all come together as part of the theatrical appearance. The offering of the man himself as something that can be seen one way or another all at once; a ideologue to be taken seriously; a harmless crank that can be safely dismissed; an extended status accessory as someone you present yourself as ‘getting’, to signal your in-group membership with the cool bohemians club. In short terms, one of the finest court jesters of the age.

      Next time the topic of Krishna arises, I am going to post an article, with a title something like “Hinduism is no good as a state religion because of severe demon infestation”, with the actual fascist crime thoughts hidden behind Slavoj Žižek’s crypto fascist thoughts in plain view.

      At 14:10 “you need something like a religion to make good people do bad things”. No. You need something like a demonic religion to make good people do bad things. And this crypto fascist has been deniably telling his audience of literal or metaphorical demon worshipers that the faith of the Cathedral is something very like a religion.

      The video is titled the “The desert of post ideology”, but he only pretends to comply with the official faith that demon worship is not an ideology. His starting ramble about Gangnam Style is telling his audience that they believe in an ideology, and when he transitions to Krishna and Arjuna at 15:24 he is explaining why this is the demon Krishna teaching demon worship to Arjuna

      Using language carefully self censored to pass in Harvard, he is telling his audience that they are demon worshipers.

      • Mister Grumpus says:

        @Jim:
        “…that the faith of the Cathedral is something very like a religion.”

        This very point really is the key to understanding everything else, to the point that I’m honestly shocked by how little it’s voiced out loud.

        It reminds me of Archie Bunker’s line that religion is “believing something you know isn’t true.” The woke are probably more correct than the mainstream here, now that I think about it, in that a religion isn’t a “religion” if you genuinely believe it, or if it can burn your house down and castrate your kids if you don’t act like you believe it.

        What do you think is at the core of our collective reticence to recognize Cathedral Wokeness as a competing religion, and even edgycons’ (Tucker, etc) reluctance to call it that?

        • jim says:

          When Harvard was the Vatican of New England, it had absolutely no problems in calling its faith Christianity, although it was seriously postChristian. But it still plausibly claimed to worship God, though clearly Jesus the Jewish community organizer had been demoted. In their eyes he pointed the way to reforming and advancing the law of God, but they had reformed it a lot further, and found him something of an embarrassment.

          After the war of Northern Aggression, by right of conquest, they were now the Vatican of the (forcibly) United States. Before the war of Northern Aggression people said “the United States are …”. Now, with single, forcibly imposed state religion, they said “the United States is …”

          But the bit in the constitution said that there shall be no unitary state religion, which was in practice always understood to mean that each state had the right to its own state religion, was an embarrassment. So they reinterpreted it to mean no state religions at all, and defined themselves as not a religion.

          • Mister Grumpus says:

            There’s just no beating interpretational drift, is there? No magic words that keep their meaning, through centuries, all by themselves. Especially with force of law behind them.

            • jim says:

              Because of creative interpretational drift, legalism does not work. Solution: Give up on legalism.

              Written constitutions are not, in fact very useful. A constitution, to work, has to be a record of the consensus of the elite. And suppose that consensus changes at alarming frequent intervals for wicked reasons?

              Well, you need a virtuous elite with respect for Chesteron’s fence and awareness of deep history, without which no piece of paper will be much use, and with which no piece of paper will be needed.

              For a constitution to be useful, whether written or unwritten, you need an elite that knows history and can think itself into their predecessors shoes.

              • FrankNorman says:

                Also you need an elite that actually cares about what the people who wrote that constitution meant, rather than seeing being “in power” as a blank cheque to do whatever the hell they like.

        out of curiosity
        what is the demonic teaching Krishna told to Arjuna ?
        a simple search show Arjuna had cold feet when he saw his family and friends in the enemy army, krishna told him that nothing really matter in the grand of things and it is your destiny to fight and win. which seem straight forward. is it demonic because
        he is fighting his family and friends? despite them allying with the enemy.

        • jim says:

          It is a general purpose justification for doing horrible things that normal men find extremely disturbing.

          How do you get into a war with your nation, your tribe, your friends and your family? The correct response is not moral detachment, but to think about how things got so horribly wrong.

          Its a form of spirituality that detaches you from your innate decency. Comes from demons, whether they be real or metaphorical.

          Circumstances might well arise in the very near future where we are at war with with those close to us, but should those circumstances arise, spiritual detachment is utterly wrong, and would make our conduct in that war utterly wicked.

          The same deeds would have a different moral significance if we did them out of spiritual detachment from the world that we are acting on.

          Spiritual detachment from this world may well be good and holy if you are a hermit in hut in the wilderness living on locusts and wild honey, but is totally evil if you are acting in the world doing things that other people will not necessarily like. Especially if you are doing things that kin and friends may not like.

          Spiritual detachment from locusts and wild honey may well enable one to get closer to the divine.

          Killing in righteous wrath may well be good. Killing in righteous holy wrath is holy. Killing in spiritual detachment is demonic spirituality.

          Maybe Arjuan needed to kill friends and kin. But he should not have been doing so in spiritual detachment. The detachment makes the killing wrongful.

        The output of polygon organs (eg hollywood) are suffused with the motivation of its faith (even more-so than officially tolerated mcchurches). ‘We have no right to dismiss this as simple commercial manipulation’.
        Also includes a discursion on how open delineation of boundaries allows for greater autonomy (the Paternal archetype) than superficially permissive yet intrusive ‘mandatory hedonism’ moonlighted by social regimentation.

        53:05~
        Do not doubt that people can act with full earnestness in the service of demonic forces (incidentally talmudism is about how to be an effectual demon worshiper). ‘This obscene dimension of the scared is returning more and more violently in our experience’.

    Relevant to the earlier discussion of ‘modern warfare’. A perpetual state of ‘not-victory’ until eventual exhaustion is the inevitable result when the prospect of war is taken on by those whose weltanschauung is implicitly or explicitly prejudiced against the principles of Right Order in the first place. One hand tries to put out the fires in the building that the other hand sets alight for burning it down.

    • notglowing says:

      It seems clear to me that so long as the right wing in the US bases itself on the American founding myth, it can never be reactionary.
      If they think of themselves as a rebel colony to an empire, then destroying empires and kings and siding with rebels who want to fight order is part of their identity.

      These people got tricked by the communist traitors in their ranks to support regimes that destroyed possible allies, because they always saw these right wing, religious, monarchical groups as against their ethos, instead their conceit was to turn every shithole into some enlightened liberal democracy. No wonder they always ended up supporting communists.
      If that is your eschatology, you will make terrible friends.

        Which founding myth? The one where the British tried to tax the US too hard and we beat the shit out of them over it? I like that myth, warns shitheads to keep taxes low which lead to a great deal of good before FDR. Every country has multiple founding myths and it quite easy to exchange a bad one for a good one.

        Our problem is a lack of a strong faith to fight against the woke faith.

          The colonial rebels were communists that didn’t want to contribute to empire yet demanded the fruits thereof. They didn’t win a war, they were handed a victory by Whig parliamentarians and Generals. The foundational myth espoused by the Right is literally the rotten core from whence grows the cuckold position the outer party continues to inhabit. Every time a conservative praises the foundering fathers, criminals and scum to a man, the original Whig laughs and laughs and laughs.

          • Red says:

            No shit sherlock, that’s why we call it a myth. The actual truth is typical communist bullshit where the people who didn’t go along with the American traitors where tortured and burned alive by the so called patriots who stole their stuff.

            The fact remains that we need a state religion and a founding myth that works. Telling people that their forefathers were criminals scum means that they’re criminal scum too. That’s a non starter.

            Myths should be based on reality, but with a useful frame rather than the typical communist/Whig/Puritan one.

            required but one effort. The slave, when made free, might mix

          Back when the communist party of China had the most capitalist ideology and program in the entire world, it said that socialism is what the party says it is. Well, in America, the Republic will be what the officially official state Church says it is.

          But this entails ruling by official lies, which is poison, so pretty soon the official Church should stuff that behind the water heater in the basement, and then disown it. Having capitalism by lies in China is now coming back to bite them, and having Kingship by lies is going to bite us.

                  OK, honest question based in a hypothetical:

                  TX and OK make 2 announcements: they are formally withdrawing from the US based on a plebiscite they conducted and not the Constitution or Amendments or federal statute; they are declaring neutrality with the US, regulating all border traffic between the People’s Republic of Texlahoma and their 2 neighbors such that anyone can leave but no non-citizens can enter, with forceful entry being considered an act of criminality or war.

                  Texlahoma’s capital is San Antonio, their military is comprised of the TX and OK national guards as well as multiple regiments of militia. They have no Navy and their Airforce consists of guard unit assets and private craft. Let’s just assume most citizens are ecstatic and the ones that aren’t have left. We’ll also say that the Guard members are all loyal. They have Musk with them, but he was not involved so no secret missile defense systems or Combat Starships are immediately available. Texlahoma is recognized by Russia, India, and China, who all send peacekeepers that will arrive in 6 weeks.

                  Do the combined forces of Federal USA crush the neoConfederates, or are they stymied by the plucky Texlahomans until the RICs peacekeepers arrive?

                  Does FedUSA repel the RIC expeditionary force?

                  I think FedUSA would squash Texlahoma like a bug, but they’d do it with human wave assaults and massed artillery barrage, leaving them gutted and vulnerable to the RICs on land, but the Navy would force them to turn around.

If Tricare (insurance) wouldn’t cover it, they would have to pay or take it out of installation budget.

                  In the future, if military hospitals had a high demand for abortions, they’d make a clinic ran by an abortionist. I’m guessing a civil servant position. Some military doctor might develop a conscience later and make a ptsd claim.

Good taste in properties does fix this, does not help if you chain your mortgages and suddenly the bubble pops and you get margin called.

            I have no opinion on whether smartly done real estate is a good investment avenue at the moment, but high leverage investing during massive price volatility pervasive throughout the world economy seems like a bad idea. Good time to go a bit risk off.

Nevertheless, northern urbs didn’t shit the bed themselves, so we know they can and will move, particularly if huwite wymynz start ring the gibbs bell. So it isn’t enough to just target white, wealthy people, as they are well known for putting up “Hate has no home here” and “BLM” signs quite recklessly. Of course, they don’t mean it, and would be horrified if Sha’ kwon and Sh’ boonia acme calling, but they may not realize it in time.

                  With infinite immigration in finite time, every neighborhood will become a niggerhood or at least a spichood or a caliphatehood, thus the donut theory of civilizational collapse.

                  But it is a slow process. 90% percent white areas do not become 90% non-white over night. Takes a generation or two.

                • Aidan says:

                  Niggers frequently do drive long distances, but they drive from niggerhood to niggerhood; a small implantation of diversity in an area ensures that cousins and friends will drive their rusted-out 1996 toyota corollas hundreds of miles to sell drugs, guns, and commit petty crime in the neighborhood. Without local blacks as a port of entry however, they won’t even drive five miles to a white area.

            • Pooch says:

              or with no one that can afford the rates you would have to charge to profit

              Nonsense. When people can no longer afford their houses or rents, they downsize and get room mates. Good landlords check credit and salary for their tenants. They aren’t letting street niggers and drug addicts rent their properties.

                “Good landlords check credit and salary for their tenants.”

                What you are overlooking is checking credit scores and rental history are now rayciss crimes punishable with steep fines (in the “too white” city in which I formerly owned rental property).

                • Pooch says:

                  What city? I know a lot of people with rental property. I have never heard of any city disallowing the use of credit scores for application process of rental properties.

                  If so, you are stupid for buying and renting property there.

                • Mr.P says:

                  “stupid”

                  What you are overlooking is once a city council is taken over by SJWs, it can and will change the rental “rules” overnight. If you already own property in that city, as I did for decades, you’re screwed. Which is why I got the hell out.

                  Yes, of course, a property owner can still legally check credit scores and rental history — but try rejecting the application of a “disadvantaged” diversity candidate for bad credit or non-payment history, and the rental code enforcers will come down on you like a ton of bricks. Which is why I got the hell out.

                  Yes, important to pay attention to this type of thing. I would not buy in any deep blue region for this very reason. You are likely to see rental caps there too. Ideally, you want to buying in class A areas where the niggers are priced out anyways so the credit check thing won’t even be an issue.

                  Broadly speaking, the smart money is investing in red and purple states and fleeing deep blue states like California (although a youtube investor I like meet Kevin does invests in California I believe).

                  Yes. The rental property owners I know back in said city refuse to buy any property within the city limits. Suburbs and exurbs only, must be governmentally independent of marxist SJWs ruling the main metro.

                  I wouldn’t say you’re screwed. Decades is a long time to hold real estate. If you see things starting to trend for the worse demographically and/or politically, sell it, scoop the cash, and allocate the capital elsewhere.

                  There may be a point where there will be no where else to allocate the capital because it will all look like South Africa and then yes we’ll be screwed, but not there yet.

                  “I wouldn’t say you’re screwed.”

                  I did very well and believe I got out at the right time.

                  – The first ten years I rented to primarily young marrieds saving up for a down payment.

                  – Back then, very little turnover. Couples would stay for three or four years — and plant a garden!

                  – Then adjustable rate mortgages were introduced and the RE bubble started to inflate.

                  – After down payments could be financed and fogging a mirror was the only requirement to get a mortgage, quality of tenants nosedived. Seriously, I cannot remember the last time a tenant didn’t take off with unpaid rent and utilities. Also, turnover was nearly always every year, which is very expensive.

                  Currently I live with my wife in an apartment. I chat often with the apartment complex manager. What an awful job she has! She says 75% of her time is devoted to documenting cause for tenant evictions.

        Isn’t that assuming either will have eggs to work with? Consider the general distribution density of Americans as a whole. How does local government respond to your white 26-32s just packing up and starting to walk? Imagine a blight of millennials sweeping the coasts, beg-murdering in every town they touch.

        I was thinking about this the other day: America hasn’t had an Internally Displaced Persons crisis since the 1930s. In a lot of crisis response literature, IDPs are considered to be one of the biggest factors to deal with in any kind of operations. You can get a taste of this at a significant music festival that includes camping. So long as water, noises, food and talking are free and easy, it’s a big party. It takes a few hours before the waves of freaked out people start building up. The debauchery and barbarity are significant, even when everyone knows they are only an hour walk away from their cars and “freedom.” Imagining the party atmosphere get subsumed by terror and rage is a bit chilling. I honestly don’t know which is least desirable: having to get through or out of a refugee wave, or sitting and waiting for one that is coming at you.

          Obviously you should only invest in properties that are located amongst a high level of homeowners, and attempt to detect vigorous race mixing policies by the authorities.

          And since there is a high likelihood of a general or selective collapse in property rights enforcement (I am preparing to get less long in land, although as yet property rights remain secure outside business districts) you invest in places that have a decent social net, that can cause problem people to disappear.

      • Pooch says:

        People who have the connections to borrow money from the fed are splurging on real estate, because they figure inflation is vastly understated, and is going to get a lot more vastly understated.

    So as far as becoming alpha, and executing your game and your mission…

    I am big on the power of belief and faith. I was always very cynical and thought that stuff was gay and dorky. And eventually after listening a lot to Jordan Peterson and internalizing the red pill I started to make more sense of the world and changed my attitude about belief.

    The key is, genes are expressed given environmental stimulus (if I understand that correctly). A lot (most?) are not expressed at any given time.

    So if you feed yourself white and blue pills, your a christcuck. Blue and black your a leftist. Red and black your a madman.

    What I do, personally to make the most of my life is give myself a steady supply of white and red. Red to stay true, white to stay healthy, stay positive and keep from demoralization and defeat.

    What you tell yourself, what is in your head, will determine a lot about what genes you express. If you hate people and hate women, your going to act like that. If you can see people for what they are, and accept that they are up against the same things you are up against, you can see some good in them.

    If you want a good wife to serve you and obedient kids some day, red and white pills only.

          • Pooch says:

            For me ending the black pill, it was halting this thinking that I wa somehow important to the grand scale of history when in reality I’m not important, you’re not important on the grand arc of history.

            We are just pawns in a larger game and, like medieval peasants, we have some flexibility in terms of who is our lord. We have some flexibility in terms of our career, our job, and where we live. If you want to go into the military, USG is your lord. If you work in a corporation, that corporation in a sense you have fealty to it. You have obligations and duties to it and if you don’t fulfill them you get fired.

            In medieval times, if you disobey the lord you just get executed. We have a different mechanism of social control now which is decentralized through the currency rather than through systems of pure physical punishment. In the past, they used physical humiliation, now they use doxing and shaming and so forth.

            You can choose who do you want your lords to be, just as in the olden days. There were major lords and minor lords and just as you owed fealty to your local lord you also owed some fealty to the emperor or the king. There are multiple overlapping concentric circles of authority that you owe fealty to. That was true a thousand years ago, it was true five thousand years ago, it was true ten thousand years ago, it’s true today. It will be true tomorrow. It will be true as long as human beings exist.

            Unless you want some pure utopia, and that’s what most people on the want at the end of the day. It’s biased shallow superficial thinking because they want to feel important and I understand that I want to feel important. I don’t like to hear this as much as you, but it’s true and so electing Trump or DeSantis in 2024 is not going to change the underlying fundamental economic, religious, philosophical, and technological incentives that make up our society. So rather than trying to change all of that, I think you have to humble yourself and you also have to understand that at the top of all these concentric circles of authority is God.

              I don’t think that is the problem: That is wise advice for curing depression, but it is not actually effective against the black pill, which is not quite the same thing.

              Depression is a response to perceived inability to perform a high status role, and can be corrected by successfully performing a lower status role and getting appreciated for it, or, better, successfully performing the role you damned well should be performing.

              But you may well genuinely have difficulty achieving the better solution, in which case there is a third solution. Make active preparation and organization for a retreat and flight to a lower status role, prep for bugout. You will then find poor performance or likely impending disaster in your high status role less stressful.

              But it is not really relevant to the black pill, for which the cure is faith. Remember the wise advice of Roissy, minion of Satan: Irrational optimism beats rational pessimism. The remedy for the black pill is pretty much the opposite of the solution for depression, which is to retreat, or make preparation for retreat. The remedy for the black pill is righteously going forth with God behind you.

          • Adam says:

            Red, blue, black etc., think of it as a kind of spirituality. Jim has referred to it as morality, and maybe it is that too, but for me it’s more about feelings, motivations and actions. Essentially it is your energy, your life force and what that produces.

            So you have your one life to live. I don’t think about the afterlife other than what life exists after me. So I have my one life and I want to make the most out of it. So I have to get my motivation to move forward and keep it. That’s the white pill. The black pill leads to victimhood and death. The red pill is obvious, need to see reality for what it is, not what I wish it was.

            So if your going to make the most of your one life, because anything else would just be a waste, you need to be alpha as far as men judge and as far as women judge. Red and white is really your only option. It will bring the best out of you, congruent with creation and your telos.

            Defeated, demoralized people do not create much or any good. No motivation, no energy. So no black pill. It’s not like you have to create perfect, just make the most of what’s around you, and your capabilities and you will live a life you can be at peace with.

            I’ve doubled my income since Covid started, roughly. Everyone flipped out and closed their shops and took weeks off and just generally acted like losers when the masks and things started. I didn’t change one thing about my life. I wasn’t going to accept defeat. I’ve been defeated before, many times, and it was mostly all in my head. So the irrational optimism paid off.

            To overcome the black pill you have to become your own biggest fan, your own cheerleader. Even if it doesn’t seem like your getting anywhere, staying put when everyone else runs is a victory. And yeah it’s hard. It can be really hard. But not that much harder than staying defeated and demoralized.

    What kind of women that men desire?

    Of course it can be easily said “as long as she is thin, beautiful, young, and mentally sane with good manner” the woman is top of the mark. But my experience hits a bit different.

    The first woman I ever proposed maybe 6/10 of attractiveness scale. But her brilliance and personality has become light that shone my soul (which was really dark at that time). I was feeling genuine companionship which is very unique. Too bad our faith differ too greatly.

    While my wife fits objective measure of being good woman (attractive with good manner), deep down I’m feeling spiritual loneliness.

    Even today I never find women like my first love. I feel regret that does not go away.

    Perhaps to better understand women we also need to examine inward. Or maybe women and men’s experience ain’t that different after all or merely 2 side of same coin.

        Fraternity in the west was undermined by acceptance of homosexuality. The military resisted that far longer, but it too was forced to accept and even promote the gays. The idea that no on cares about men, and that we must deal with it on our own, is almost purely a byproduct of modernity and gay acceptance.

      Take what I say with a grain of salt. I’ve never been married. I have accrued some wisdom from others though.

      Some of the most loving marriages came from arranged/shotgun marriages where both parties knew each for less than a week prior.

      Overcoming shared struggles creates trust and shared narrative. That leads to genuine companionship and love.

      That is hard in the modern world where you’re not facing starvation, war, extreme poverty, etc. Surviving such things as partners forms deep trust.

      What can be done today is creating many children and sharing the burdens. The financial cost of many children and/or investing highly in their development can act as a proxy to poverty.

      Of course that may not fully recreate a shared sense of hardship, but at the very least she’ll likely be too busy to even think about adultery. Also try to get the wife to home school.

                Yes, but you should not describe the differences between men and women in ways that imply that women are wicked. That is the black pill speaking, which is a result of hanging onto blue pill morality while acknowledging red pill reality.

                White pill moral reality is that men and women are very different, and different conduct and different rules are appropriate. A virtuous man is manly, a virtuous women is womanly. Each is virtuous in the way appropriate to their sex, which is a different kind of virtue to that of the other sex.

                The womanly virtues are not necessarily virtues in a man, and are rather close to defects and moral failures in a man, and the manly virtues not necessarily virtues in a woman.

                Saint Paul, after listing the differences, tells us that notwithstanding, women shall be saved in childbirth. In context, childbirth is a synecdoche for proper performance of the proper female role, of which childbearing is the most difficult, dangerous, and stereotypical part, that she shall be saved by accepting and enduring the curse laid upon Eve, which was both the pain of childbirth, and the desire to submit to and obey her husband.

                  Women ARE wicked ex “shit testing” left alone will destroy the house, the children and herself.
                  The black pill is giving up and kill yourself with sex and drugs.
                  white pill is when a man become virtous he will control the woman and she will appear as if “virtous woman”
                  but there is no “virtous woman” ever.

                  Just don’t fail shit tests. Which of course is hard when women have been granted social superweapons.

                  Women reproduce most successfully as property, men least successfully as property. Woman are looking for a man strong enough to own them. Understand this, and though shit tests are stressful and unpleasant, once you pass them, you will see goodness in women.

                  Leading with a neg is pre-emptively passing a shit test that she did not necessarily intend to give.

                  Shit tests will be a far less grievous sin when women are deprived of social superweapons.

            Gotta disagree on 2 counts, bro. Women are obviously different from men, but 2 sides of same coin actually works well in a lot of levels: the coin only has two sides, the sides can never align the same way, always polarity issues, etc

            Women can be loyal, just as men can be kind. Woman can be brutal, just as men can be tender. It’s not a natural tendency of either, but can be immensely powerful when deployed adeptly. This doesn’t mean brutal women or tender men should be encouraged or praised.

            Also, DuckingMan is a weird bird. He gets a Far East exemption on certain things. He maintains positions that would be unacceptable from anyone here on Team Howlie. I can’t explain it, but it’s happened before where DM says something bonkers, and defensive countermeasures start lighting up, but nope, not a threat, just another wacky Chinamen. Honestly, it’s actually amazing to see some of the theories of heterogeneous societal evolution play out in real life. We’re not all the same thing in different clothes, we’re fundamentally different creatures with similar biological geometry. We can interbreed with Chang’s daughters, but separate us between planets and we’ll specieate in dramatic fashion.

            • ExileStyle says:

              Never thought I’d have to push back on this point on Jim’s blog of all places, but it seems I am a bit more metaphysically misogynistic than some here. Two things in Ducking Man’s post, one intellectual, one personal.

              The personal: to “wholeheartedly understand” adultery is to be a traitor to one’s fellow men, and such men created romanticism, created feminism, created George IV and his whore wife, and the end of monarchy, created most of our problems. I have no respect for and do not trust such a “man.” I thought a main goal of the society envisioned here rejected such betrayal of one’s fellows.

              The intellectual: there is a reason mythologies almost universally attest to a masculine Sun and a feminine Moon, and the Bible to Adam as Image of God and Eve as the rib – a subordinate derivative – of Adam. That reason being the plain-as-day fact that women are fundamentally other than and, in matters of spirit and intellect, i.e. soul, i.e. being human, less than man. This opinion was not controversial two hundred years ago and before.

              I love my wife and she is a brilliant conversationalist and kind and caring etc. but there are so often moments with her, as there have been with every single woman I have ever had to do with, where I forget what she is and am baffled by some unbridgeable gap between us and have to question whether she is of the same order of being as myself.

              Then I remember that she, like the moon to the sun, is meant to define herself by and through me – a duty I did not ask for and which is often tiresome – and that if I should ever neglect that duty she would find someone else post-haste to fill that function for her.

              We are not a coin with two sides, i.e. essentially the same but with different manifestations, but two very different things which are bound to and defined by each other but which shall ever remain – tragically, I admit – in completely separate spheres.

                Accidentally deleted a much longer comment. You’re right, my model is off. The coin analogy worked for me because of internalized blue pill assumptions hiding under my red pill framework. This actually tracks with issues I’m encountering in my own life.

                And you’re also right to interpret DM’s reckless faggotry about women who cheat. I guess I just don’t take him very seriously on personal topics after the religious spat awhile back.

                The WQ really is the only thing that matters, not because it’s the only thing out there, but because if you get it wrong, everything else is tainted. Someone else here wrote: “Marriage is civilization, and civilization is failing.” That slammed home for me. What are your thoughts on the assertion?

                • ExileStyle says:

                  I’d agree that marriage is the basis of any strong, virtuous culture, whether a civilized one with cities and scribes or a nomadic barbarian tribe – so in spirit, yes, but without overvaluing the “civilization” part. Paris has long been very, very civilized and very, very spiritually bankrupt. But I have a soft spot for barbarian hordes.

                  If, as seems more possible with time, we see some kind of post-collapse period of newly-formed nomadic tribes swooping up and down and across steppes and prairies, it will be the tribes with strong, virtuous marriages (so: our tribe) that will be best positioned to one day settle and start the next civilizations. It’s just good social technology, if nothing else for keeping men from fighting each other over women and staying focused on real enemies.

                • Kunning Drueger says:

                  At the risk of sounding gay or cliche, marriage is good for men but better for women. It gives them the opportunity to live in GNON aligned harmony, forestalls and obliterates (eventually, mostly) the demonic slut impulse, and gives them a path towards creating beautiful, massive families. I don’t expect many here to have shared this experience, but I’ve met a couple of undeniably based Grandmas, women far past the impetuosity and flightiness of youth. Beautiful and emotional in their season, they act as matriarchs in the place of dead husbands, declining to remarry and instead carrying on the legacy of the men that made them what they were supposed to be. This is not common, I don’t think. Not only does the Cathedral work to snuff out good women, but even in a just and healthy society based women would be a rarity. Some mysterious combination of spirit, genetics, and faith, I’d imagine. Each of them had a ton of kids, lived in the country, and married as teenagers.

                  Obviously. If men do not get pussy and sex on the prosocial path, do not get an obedient and faithful wife as soon as they can afford one, everything is going to hell in a handbasket.

                  Everyone is too fat. No one cares about redistribution of bread, still less about redistribution of ownership of the means of production. Every man cares about pussy.

                  We want every industrious moderately competent male, who works or fights for his society and social order, to have a direct and easy path to acquiring an obedient virgin wife.

                  This requires a fair bit of tolerance, and a considerable lethargy in investigating, when someone who works hard and plays by the rules, knocks off someone who does not, and also requires us to come down hard on female sexual choice.

                Saint Paul makes that point. And then points out that a woman can be virtuous by performing the female role.

                Women are the weaker vessel, and easily influenced to wickedness. But also, easily influenced to virtue. Female virtue. Do not expect male virtue, it is inappropriate for women.

                Adam failed Eve’s shit test by going along with Eve instead of giving her a spanking, and also failed God’s test. Expect, and firmly insist upon, female virtue.

                When a woman hears someone else priesting and preaching about the proper roles of husband and wife, and it differs from what you say and perform, her pussy is going to tell her: “Test who is more alpha, this man or your husband?”” And she is then going to shit test you. She is going to perform according to hostile alien teachings by someone who wants destroy your marriage and all marriages. This performance is a shit test. Pass it.

                  In the ending, the girl protagonist ultimately doesn’t just reject her mohammedanism, she also rejects the dressing and dancing up with the group for sex appeal too, thus expressing the true end of the judeo-puritan strain of feminism; a sexless interchangeable meat-unit with no distinguishing features or attractions at all.

                  There is massive and incredible variance in the way Western women dress. They have almost complete freedom in their appearance. So to say “All Western women dress and look like this” is not based in reality.

                  Obviously we are not going to find women ultra modestly dressed like Puritans, that Christian virtue in women, as well as men, is long gone.

                  Having said that, it’s abundantly clear when a woman looks like a slut and a whore and when one is dressed more modestly respective to the population as a whole. You know it when you see it.

                  And I find the idea that one can spot virtue at a glance perplexing, given the hymen collection I put together in my teens and twenties. Femininity and desirability, at 30 paces, in seconds, absolutely. But virtue? I don’t buy it. A woman’s virtue appears to be a reflection of the man that controls her. This is frustrating for me; I’m imperfect and it’s hard enough to just try to be honest and just. It’s like men have to carry the burden of our honor and their loyalty, the weight of the past and the future. If this sounds like bitching, that’s because it is.

                  Specifically, she displays heroic obedience to God, who is the Alpha of Alphas. She knows that she is going to suffer mightily for her obedience—a bigtime hit to her social standing and probably forfeiting the marriage she had lined up, but she obeys anyway.

                  Heroic obedience is what female virtue looks like. Through that obedience was the Logos made flesh.

                  The story of Job, which is a spiritually true story that likely takes a few liberties with actual history, but is set within the real places and real events of the time, so if the writer is taking a few liberties, he is basing on real events and real people, is a story of God very vigorously coercing one of his prophets to deliver the message of repentance to the Assyrians, because God cares for all peoples. The prophet did not want to deliver the message, because he very much wanted the Assyrians to get it in the nads.

                  We know from clay tablets that got fired, as a side effect of burning the places mentioned in the story to ground, that the Assyrians at the time were feeling rather uneasy that they might have attracted the wrath of God, and as a result their state religion lacked enforcement and self confidence. But it did not get burned to the ground until long after the time in which the book of Job was set, so maybe they did indeed repent, but repentance failed to stick.

                  The primary point of the story is that God would prefer you to persuade you enemies – however, he had a very different solution for Amalekites.

                  Tyson kicked her out right after he fucked her, IE she took it as rejection or scorn. She claimed rape exact 24 hours later, probably after she talked to her friends and having gotten very upset that Tyson didn’t call her again.

          It is foolish for men to seek Eros because female love is acquisitive. If you give a woman all your love she will discard it for another, but if you give her a drop of your love she will seek it out for the rest of her life.

          The problem most men have is giving it all away too easily. There are many old stories that warn of this. Eros in men is akin to madness, an immaturity or moral failing that will destroy you.

            I totally understand you position in viewing women because I view my wife the same. But I view such positions as 2 twains merely connected but never conjoined as 1 flesh.

            If people marry truly to become 1 flesh there shall be no “me” and “you”. Prenup shall not exists because it manifests the idea of “me” and “you”. Husband shall be free sacrificing his entire being for his wife and his children because they are 1 being 1 flesh.

              It’s a problem because women don’t like it and men who have the aptitude to attract and keep women genuinely tend not to feel this way. You absolutely can and should love and treasure a good woman, but that doesn’t include swooning like a shy lonely boy out of an anime who has found his soulmate- those stories are written by and for beta males and they have almost no resemblance to the romance stories that women consume.

              >problem is men seeking eros from women that is not his wife

              If we’re taking about Valentine’s Day card floating on a cloud of roses swooning, frankly a man seeking that anywhere after they’re 16 is a problem. If you’re talking about sex, a husband having a mistress or a prostitute isn’t a particularly large problem assuming it’s an unowned woman and the husband is decent enough to keep it unseen so as to spare his wife embarrassment…that husband taking the virginity of a what would otherwise be good wife material, on the other hand, is obviously a very serious problem

          You could say that with the Soviets, there was a generation shift circa the 1950s and 1960s.

          Before that, the old bolsheviks were juggling the demands of objective reality, with the demands of ideological reality. A misstep gets you a seat on the purge express, but they knew what the deal was. They knew deep down there was objective reality, and make-belief reality, and if you follow the only the latter, then the Germans take Moscow, but if you allow for the existence of the former, you take Berlin.

          The new generation soviets gradually lost the knowledge of objective reality and accepted the solipsistic ideological cocoon as the only reality that matters. Nukes provided an objective shield behind which subjective degeneracy could flower, and internal social pressure along ideological lines filled up reality, obscuring ever more the objective reality outside itself.

          Once this goes far enough, factories start exploding, reactors melt down, products disappear from stores, electricity and water get rationed, gang crime explodes, corruption and inefficiency paralyzes all institutions, planes crash, trains derail, bridges collapse, serial killers operate with impunity, the lot.

          Right now, the Russian army at the very least is getting schooled in reality. 900K being rotated 80K-100K at a time through the Ukraine, getting a feel of how the world really works when the masks are off. Large sectors of the economy and state tech also having to adapt to reality or wither.

          The West and its allies, as well as China, still appear to have enough accumulated fat (or at least behave as if they do), to be able to play make-belief in all sorts of ways, all the while accumulating a “reality debt” of systemic entropy.

The employees you lost take their knowledge of the business with them, and in their new job, they do not have knowledge of the business. And because there is an extreme labor shortage (at the wages that you are paying) you hire morons to replace them. Human resources is happy, because morons tend to be racially diverse.

    It’s not worth opening a discussion on what constitutes masculinity; it’s an “I know it when I see it”. And there is not a strong correlation between the men I see as masculine and the ones who are piping out tons of hot young chicks. I should point out that masculinity and femininity are not a spectrum but two discrete things; I know plenty of masculine men who have extremely feminine traits, like emotional incontinence, passive-aggressiveness, and so on. Again, treating masculinity and femininity like a spectrum enables the gay. Like spiritual T and spiritual E, one has a certain level of each.

      Milieu, concrete situation, and specific goal are extremely important. Looking for a one-time lay is different from looking for a fuck-buddy is different from looking for a girlfriend is different from looking for a wife. Pairing off at the club with a posse where alpha hierarchies form automatically is different from Tinder dating is different from finding a wife in your social group.

      Unfortunately, fate plays a huge role: how physically attractive you are, and how you instinctually relate to women, much of which has to do with the kind of man your father was. The former can be worked on to some extent, the latter is difficult to change permanently in my experience.

      Getting a woman into bed is also a completely different game than keeping a woman loyal, unfortunately. Many men relax after a while with one woman; you can never fully relax.

      I don’t think violence and masculinity are extricable. I do not think actual violence is quite as important as Jim suggests, but the capacity and potential for violence, i.e. power, or at least the appearance of it, are necessary. This need not always be traditional kinds of power; women are pretty stupid. They want to know you can be a Master of other things and people than them; then they will let you master them, too.

      I think a lot of guys misunderstand what it means to “be an asshole” to a woman. What you think an asshole is and what she thinks an asshole is are two very different things. I’d say that almost nothing is more important than simple indifference: that you fundamentally not give a shit whether she stays or leaves, and let her know that she is completely replaceable, and never care all that much more about her than about a useful maid or whatever. (Or actually slightly wish you had an actual maid rather than a woman, because your woman’s never going to clean as well as a professional.) And I think you honestly have to believe this yourself. It sucks for the little romantic fag inside of you, but such is life.

      Women find it repulsive and weird if you care or think too much about them. Physical violence should be authentic, measured, and goal-oriented; to get her to shut the fuck up and stop being hysterical, usually. If she gets the sense that you’re just performing violence for her sake, she will start to find you fake, gay, and repulsive. Being violent with a woman can paradoxically reveal too much interest in and care for the woman.

    • Oak says:

      The idea that female arousal is net eugenic and determines status is the one myth that the dissident right seems to be unable to give up on.

      It makes little sense from a logical point of view. If as soon as large groups of men form a cooperate/cooperate equilibrium there is almost no selective pressure on female sexual choice, women are going carry over genes that resulted in sons who are successful in less civilised environments, such as an attraction to men with a strong tendency to defect on other men (and women).

      From an empirical point of view, this is evidenced in the fact that white women have children with sub-saharans at a per capita rate significantly higher than white men, despite the greater cost of having children and greater (almost infinite) choice. It’s a small minority, but difficult to explain unless female sexual choice has more primitive, pre-civic characteristics.

      From a historical point of view, it helps to explain Unwin’s findings. If men have to directly appeal to women (rather than their father/male relatives) to reproduce, they will not engage in activities that result in a higher civilisation (and high status only to men).

      Fortunately, there can be overlap in male and female perceptions of status, although it is often accidental. If a man brains a little old man in the street because he was trying to diddle his son, high status to men and women. But if he did it to steal $100, unfortunately still high status to women.

      In the current climate, civilised men must make them overlap as much as possible (and throw in some occasional pantomime).

So if women are attracted to the most masculine, they are also attracted to the most uncivilized.

        I think as civilized men today we can make this work for us and instead of against us. Yes, one way to approach female sexual choice is just become a self-destructive drug dealing degenerate criminal.

        A 2nd way is find your mission, work on your physical fitness, buy a house, become financially successfully and independant, buy a nice car, a boat, increase social network/skills, etc.

        Both methods may bring sexual success, but the 2nd method not only brings you sexual success but improves your life and happiness as well. I tend to think the quality of woman using the 2nd method will be higher as well.

          Atilla the Hun was a barbarian savage who’s achievements did not survive him. The proper saying is, “To the right of Ghengis Kahn,” because the Kahn actually built a civilization that was not just based on looting shit from other people. Some of what he had survived his death, and it ran well during his reign. Another good example would be, “To the right of Vlad the Impaler.” A man who similarly had his shit together.

          If you concede the frame that civilization is beta, then you cede civilization to those who permit the alphas to commit violence in order maintain civilization and encourage the betas to act more like the alphas to the same end. I will throw myself as king of 1660s England against Atilla the Hun and 1000/1000 times it ends with me fucking Atilla’s daughter and him bending the knee as a vassal or lying dead in the dirt. Civilization is the most alpha move, because it permits the maximization of skilled effort and group violence. Think g otherwise is just wrong.

            Civilization is coordination that scales. And the ultimate test is coordination of large scale violence. But the central plan always fails, you have to factor the problem. Which means that large scale coordinated violence is made possibly by lots of distributed pro social violence.

            Which is mighty alpha.

Continuing down to the lowest Dunbar sets of the common men, where each man is the alpha of his household. Each man in the chain above permits those men beneath him and in good standing to use violence, from the common man running off petty criminals and layabouts all the way to the king making war.

              I do not believe in central plans, because I am damned smart, but I cannot run all of that. If I cannot do it, no one can, so why try? Why should I tell Lord Aidan or Lord Inquisitior Jim how to run their business? Lord Aidan, provide me with my taxes and answer my calls to war. Lord Jim, find and kill my enemies. The manner is up to you. Go forth, and in the name of God let none stand before you. How my taxes are earned or my enemies found and silenced is better handled by other men.

                Correct.

                This is the only way to scale, and thus the only way to scale organized pro-social violence, and scaling organized violence in this manner has the beneficial side effect of aligning female perceptions of alpha with the male status hierarchy.

                When the Sun King replaced the manly nobility of the nobility of the sword, with the faggot nobility of the nobility of the Robe, whose lack of manliness was satirized even in sympathetic fictional accounts like “the scarlet pimpernell”, and was deplored even by those deploring the french revolution, he found he had replaced dangerously mighty vassals far from the throne, with dangerously mighty servants dangerously close to the throne.

                That was a nice concise explanation.
                Was recently taking a look at historian Carroll Quigley’s books where he talks about the structure of the secret society founded by Cecil Rhodes in 1891, composed of a hierarchy of secret societies organized as “rings within rings within rings” (where a lower secret society is controlled by a few members who are part of the immediately higher secret society). It reminded me of the Matryoshka Dunbar idea.

                From “Tragedy and Hope” (1966):

                […]This association was formally established on February 5, 1891, when Rhodes and Stead organized a secret society of which Rhodes had been dreaming for sixteen years. In this secret society Rhodes was to be leader; Stead, Brett (Lord Esher), and Milner were to form an executive committee; Arthur (Lord) Balfour, (Sir) Harry Johnston, Lord Rothschild, Albert (Lord)Grey, and others were listed as potential members of a “Circle of Initiates”; while there was to be an outer circle known as the “Association of Helpers” (later organized by Milner as the Round Table organization).[…]

  94. Frank Matters says:

    Continuing discussion on the nature of women’s desires, because why not spill more ink

    Straight into it: my thesis is as such, that women are ultimately selecting for status but they judge status though old hardware. This old hardware is very very old, and tuned to what is in isolation very odd cues. It is not merely dangerousness, it is display of this. It’s not even any display of violent capacity, but specific and idiosyncratic cues of this capacity that trigger the instinct. Similar for interpersonal social behavior. Not mere dominance, but specific cues of behavior that are related to social dominance.

    In short, all these comments about It’s masculinity this and violent potential that are missing the mark. It’s like the bird that feeds a fake offspring, because it is painted brighter than the real thing (https://s3.amazonaws.com/sparringmind/Legacy+Images/Supernormal+Stimuli/supernormal-7.png). We’re dealing with behavior that is acting as a superstimuli.

    This is my point. Any appeal to womens limbic systems is an eventual Fischerian runaway. This is the evolutionary environment that produced the lower forms of african. It is not masculinity, it is in fact a warped mirror of the female desire spectrum. It is not a game that can be won over repeated rounds. It will transform your kind into the nigger peacock.

    Now, necessarily, because of the world we live in, you must put on a show to make it to the next round. You must internalize the behavior of the nigger peacock. Enough to trigger the female hindbrain, or else you are fucked, because the power of the state over your family has been handed to women. Go ahead and kill her for defection, that is not winning, that’s a Samson option.

    Every iteration of the nigger peacock game we lose more of the true masculine character, the character of the men of the steppes that forged the only livable civilizations in the world. We do not have much time.

    • jim says:

      > It’s like the bird that feeds a fake offspring, because it is painted brighter than the real thing […] Any appeal to womens limbic systems is an eventual Fischerian runaway.

      Nuts. You do not comprehend women, nor game, at all.

      Female perceptions of alpha are very fine tuned indeed to the four million year old environment of adaptation. So they don’t go for the bigger and brighter egg. The problem is less serious. They just go for an egg four million years out of date.

      They are looking for signals of alpha that would be high cost, therefore honest signals of high status in the ancestral environment. Nigger peacocking is not that. Negro masculinity, however, is that, because in our society masculinity is less dangerous for negroes.

      You want to see what real appeal to the primitive female limbic systems looks like?

      Watch the chickflick “Titanic”: The love interest does no end of stuff that in the ancestral environment of adaptation would get him run through with a pointy stick. That is what it looks like. He is continually emitting signals of alpha that would be costly in the ancestral environment, which does not resemble nigger peacocking much at all, because “peacocking” refers to the fact that they emit signals that are cheap, to which women are oblivious.

      Never trust a quiet dog. The truly dangerous man does not emit “I am dangerous” signals. He emits a curious absence of signals in a situation where signaling would be expected. Women can pick up on this sort of thing in three seconds at thirty paces.

      The primary love interest of Titanic gets into conflict situations with high status males (he cheats at cards, etc) and is curiously impassive. Which is what gets the chick juices flowing, and would get him killed in the ancestral environment of adaptation. The high status male would insist on an appropriate response and would apply a sharp object or a hard heavy object when he did not get it.

      Chicks with a high count tend to be alpha widows of stony broke losers who are now dead or imprisoned, and when he was alive and free the chick was at position nineteen on his booty call list. And if he is dead, it is because he eventually came up against someone who was playing by four million year old rules and he lacked the IQ to figure out that this time it was different.

      • Frank Matters says:

        You are fixated on the fact I used the word nigger, I am not specifically talking about negroids. I chose the expression nigger peacock to highlight two things: evolutionary selection for female choice in apefrica and Fischerian runaway leading to exaggerated superstimulus traits.

        Your rebuttle is not addressing my point. You are merely explaining the traits of a nigger peacock. Yes, nigger peacocks act like that. Yes, this behavior is in fact not general to male understanding of social hierarchy, is a remnant of our protohuman past, yes it is anti-social and should be punished but is not.

        My case is that when you delegate choice to females, it leads to a feedback loop where this nigger peacock behavior, that you are describing to me in detail in your post, but insufficient detail because it is in fact a complex spread of traits, becomes a form of mate competition. Eventually, in order to get a mate, in order to keep a mate, you play the red nigger peacock queen race.

            The legal and social power women hold is also insane. I know a guy in my peer group who’s first wife left him, the second wife said “Im not comfortable with you being around her”, thus cutting off contact with kids from marriage one, now being financially controlled with threats of not seeing kids from current marriage. And, his current wife is ugly, uncouth, lazy. He’s not a happy guy.

            No extra-marital sex, and marriage being unbreakable stops this.

            >Eventually, in order to get a mate, in order to keep a mate, you play the red nigger peacock queen race.

            Yeah, pretty much. We’re converting to a lion model of mating (which doesn’t really work for humans so the entire thing will just collapse and someone will “civilise” us, ie, force us to accept marriage) – one man, multiple women. See: Tinder. That women can get the “feeling” of mating with a high status man without the obligation of a child simply incentivises more women to enter that space, at the cost of being an open disincentive to average men.

            Eventually, there will be insufficient motivation for men to uphold the law, and there will be a collapse. Remember – a woman got raped on a train in front of people and no one did anything.

            Whereas 150 odd years ago people would rally and hang a *suspected* rapist.

            Civilisation is marriage. Marriage is broken.

                  We are selecting for uncivilized people.

                  We not only need to crack down hard on female choice, we also need to tolerate male violence in proportion to status, with normal policing functions being outsourced to the wider elite, rather than strictly monopolized by state police, and go easy on investigating when someone in higher in the male status hierarchy kills some one who is low status and has a history of getting into trouble.

                Hmm, the Scott Alexander quip gave me a thought.

                And so, what are we doing as a society by not restraining female sexuality? We’re implying its underlying values are important. The value is “men, spend your effort competing to impress me, to allay my anxiety that I will not have low quality children”.

                And since we have restrained it for so long and gained the benefits of a whole bunch of random other status hierarchies, not just basic tribal ones like “best hunter” “best fighter” etc, unrestrained female sexuality leads to pointless behaviour (peacocking) rather than real fitness indicators.

Assuming you were to undertake such a program, you’d then have to intentionally massively bottleneck your population as you cull significant portions of the female gene pool. And the program would become extremely corrupted like any other centralized bureaucracy.

                  Female mate preference actually gets ever worse over time, because the only time women are capable of exercising mate selection are in times where there is collapsing civilization, and anti-social men have the highest fitness in such environments regardless of whether women want to spread their legs for them.

                  The problem is unfixable, and isn’t actually a problem if you deal with it correctly.

                  I do believe in diversity of personality.
                  I think its perfectly good and reasonable to have populations that select for different preferences. In fact we have had this, however, men who were smart and capable in the scientific world tended to gain significant social and actual capital which sort of makes the non-technically competent elite jealous.

                  For a time we’ve harnessed the youthful sexual energy of young males, without giving them the reward of a wife and family. This is why we’re having civilisation collapse; “the cake is a lie”.

                  >the only time women are capable of exercising mate selection are in times where there is collapsing civilization,

                  So in your view, from the time that women were allowed to choose their husbands is when civilisation started to collapse?

                  It’s simple. Remove government safety nets (an anti-social male might be sexy but there’s gonna be a cost…)

                  Enforce marriage. One man per woman, period.

                  Female sexual preferences are adaptive for the individual female in the situation of civilizational collapse, and that their preferences matter foreshadows such a collapse.

                  Unwin’s data indicates an absolutely perfect correlation between females getting to exercise sexual preference, and decline and collapse. He has a silly theory explaining the correlation, which is not in fact supported by his data, because he could not commit crime thought against sex neutral ideology, so he explained away the correlation rather than explaining it.

                  Yes, that is part of the solution proposed here. But I was asking how you would fix the “problem” of women preferring anti-social men in the first place. You’d have to select for, over many generations, women who have the least anti-social preference tendencies.

                  And then it would go and get fouled up again when your civilization collapses due to runaway female preference for pro-social men. All of the women regardless of preference will be getting fucked by general buttnaked, adorned with the skulls of said pro-social men, but the women who become aroused by those skulls rather than disgusted will be his favourites.

                  That women are a certain way does not mean that they are broken and need to be fixed. They are as God made them, and trying to change that will require rather ungodly methods, and likely produce rather ungodly results.

                  No fix for that, for women are the weaker vessel.

                  Even when we had stern patriarchy and very stern coverture in place there were no end of stories about the servant girl getting in trouble for helping her lover rob her master, or robbing her master to fund her lover, and the bride running off with the wedding singer.

                  The effective fix is that such are fallen women, very low status, and against such women extreme measures of control are natural, socially acceptable, and normal.

      Every theorist has a model on how women work. Getting the model exactly right is very hard — women pre-date words. Heartiste is too witty, Rollo too theoretical, Jim too violent. But all of these men are correct. And the way you copy their success is not by word-for-word mouthing their model, it is by emulating their overall behavior. Just like you’d emulate your friends or father or whatever men you look up to.

      So, if you’d emulate the behavior displayed in this comment section, is it that of a nigger peacock? Very obviously, it isn’t. The behavior displayed in the comment section is pro-social, high-intelligence, low time preference and dark triad. It attracts women and cures tfr.

And I am thrilled with her boyfriend that she met through online dating (all the boys at church she thought were gay). He will make a good husband and father. Neither of my girls have ever given me much of a hard time. Not what I would consider a hard time anyway.

                  A boy, if you teach him masculinity properly, can find a good wife in the Church, but you don’t want him to sheltered and isolated in the church because he might grow up gay and McChristian.

        @Alf

        “Every theorist has a model on how women work. Getting the model exactly right is very hard… Heartiste is too witty, Rollo too theoretical, Jim too violent…”

        Yeah. Women are not (totally) algorithmically compressible. So each man has to cobble together his own variant of the basic model, based on his own experience.

        Also, it depends on the kind of women one is going for. It is possible to take All Women Are Like That too far. What I mean is not that there are any women who like nice guys (LOL). But it’s like the fact that all men prefer young women to old women, though some of us prefer blondes, some brunettes, etc. All women prefer alpha to nice, but some like intellectual guys, some jocks, some more thuggish, some less thuggish. When I was in college I straight-up seduced a chick by talking about twentieth century empiricist philosophy. I doubt that would work on the sort of chick who’s a drug dealer groupie.

        The fact that there is dispersion among women gives us room to work in.

        • Pooch says:

          Great point and this was an ah ha moment for me that I could set standards and preferences in the women I allowed to enter my life.

          A foundational lesson of swallowing the red pill is becoming high value and putting yourself above women not below them. Then you can carry the frame “Does this woman meet MY bar in women?” No longer are you qualifying yourself to random women. They are qualifying and auditioning to be in your world for what you like.

          A good mental exercise is to picture specifically the woman you want and decide if you want to be the dude who can get that and if so then do it. A fitness chick? Guess what, she’s into fitness guys. A big fake titted broad who likes to be seen? She’s going to like flashy cars and toys. A humble country Christian girl? She’s going to be impressed with you reciting Bible verses, hunting, fishing, and so on.

      @Frank

      I do think the “arms race” model has an element of truth to it. But consider our host’s analogy: we must create a world that resembles the evolutionary past as a garden resembles a jungle, enough to satisfy women but without actually being a return to the jungle.

      Furthermore, while all women prefer alpha to nice, not all are willing to sacrifice a home with a two-car garage for an affair with a drug dealer. Show these women enough asshole, without choosing a career as a drug dealer, and we can snag ‘em. I DID that, and I’m not the only guy here who did.

        I agree with all this. I only started off on the track here because I took genuine offense at jim calling this measure of desperation wherein you appeal to female nature in order to pass into the next round of the game as “acting in accordance with the Lord’s commandments”, as white pilled. Only in the most twisted sense is this true, only in the specialest of limited circumstance. We may be in this circumstance, I would still rather not see it honored. In the long run it degrades our nature. Look at the humiliating role of the chicken, the harem animal, and the nobility of the wolf, the monogamous pack animal. I would rather no life at all than end up as a chicken, my soul would not fit in such an animal.

          Yeah.

          And Frank, in all the warm air that’s spilled in the Manosphere about thirsty betas, it’s important to remember that in the current environment women are incredibly thirsty for masculine men. This is why a mere basic level of Game can make a huge difference. I speak from experience here.

          Yes it is true that if the average man becomes more Game-aware, the environment will become more competitive, but please don’t worry that you’re going to have to get an AK-47 and go around capping people off at random to attract a woman.

          • jim says:

            > don’t worry that you’re going to have to get an AK-47 and go around capping people off at random to attract a woman.

            If white men become free to be men, but women remain free to choose sexually from an enormous menu, and change their mind at any time, then you going to have to get an AK-47 and go around capping people off at random to attract a woman.

            Which is, I think, what Frank is worrying about.

            So, in our present society, more subtle forms of masculinity and alpha work fine, though women are frequently strangely insensitive to cues that are impressive to other men, and hypersensitive to cues that you do not notice and other men do not notice.

            If we fix up our society to allow men to be men, we will also have to, in order to prevent the crisis that Frank is worried about, both restrain female sexuality severely, and also allow men higher in the male status hierarchy to engage in more personal violence (within rules and limits that women are unlikely to be aware of or pay attention to).

              I don’t see a world where those are not mutually exclusive. If a large portion of men find their balls to that degree and become hyperviolent without fear of reprisal from other men, they won’t be whiteknights.

            You are making the standard blue pill recommendation: Unicorn hunting.

            Which always fails, resulting in the black pill:

            All women are alike. They are all women, varying only in beauty, level of sexual desire, and notch count.

            As I am fond of saying, if unicorns existed, one of them would have shown up in Feynman’s office asking for special tuition, not to mention Trump’s and Bezos’ skyscraper corner offices.

            Instead, Feynman and Trump had do what I did, albeit Trump got to do it on an incomparably grander scale. Einstein failed to do it, and the chick that eventually did show up in his office was a hot KGB agent of influence personally sent there by Stalin.

            • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

              I am not recommending unicorn hunting, i am recommending respecting those laws of God as revealed to the prophet Darwin.

              A hostile or naive reading of your advice would suggest that, since all women are like that, mate selection makes no difference. Thede, class, clade, race, species, whatever, it’s all good. Obviously it is not all good, and knowing you i do not believe you are actually suggesting this, but the explicit point is not made.

              FM posits that, since the selection criteria of humanoid females are antisocial, singular male agents optimizing for them will result in a collapse of society over time – true enough, assuming the men themselves are totally indiscriminate in their own choices.

              In practice of course, the problem is largely punted by removing female choice from the equation altogether. There are multi-millennia long track records of success with this strategy all over the world.

              It always pays to consider the cosmic, deep ecology ramifications of one’s strategies though. What FM has been grouping around here is the concept of multi-polar traps; situations where an entity’s strategies for success now cements its doom later.

              You can say we are living through such a great filter event right now; those forms of human life that are susceptible to the psyop are led into genetic death, by various means – while those forms of human life that are insensitive or antithetical to it come to fill the niche and proliferate in their stead.

        Half the young people are beyond saving and believe the solution to all their problems is joining EU and NATO. It’s also a bit funny how you will see people wear buttons with “Never back to USSR” and a button that says “EU membership NOW!”

        I’ve found that the people have a victim mentality. They blame all their problems on Russia and the “bad” government in their own country. But a victim mentality is usual for most normal people anywhere I guess. The IQ gap is wider than in western Europe.

        The rich parts of Tbilisi feels like any European capital in terms of architecture and amenities. The poor parts of the city feel very eastern/foreign, both the people and the streets.

        There are lots of parks in every neighborhood, rich or poor. It’s safe almost everywhere after dark. Most locals you meet will be very curious about you if you look like a standard European. They all assume you speak Russian. As soon as they learn you don’t speak Russian they become happy.

  96. Kunning Druegger says:

    Here’s a recent offering from Zeihan. Observe how he can inject some significant hate facts with ease. This is an example of how he can state a hard truth, but is somehow unaffected by the conclusions.

    “In-migration* to the United States hit a relative historical low in the 1970s—the decade in which America’s Boomers came of age. For Boomers—an overwhelmingly white demographic—their primary experience with interracial politics was the civil rights movement, a movement that involved people who were already here at a time when the Boomers were young and politically liberal.

    In-migration then rose steadily until reaching a near-historical high (again, in relative terms) in the 2010s, at which point the Boomers were nearing retirement and in doing so becoming politically . . . stodgy. In each and every decade as the Boomers aged, the largest single immigrant group was always Mexican. In the minds of many Boomers, Mexicans have long been not simply the “other,” but the “other” that has arrived in ever-larger numbers. A big reason why so many Boomers have been so supportive of nativist politicians such as Donald Trump is that their feelings of shock at the pace of change in American society is not a collective hallucination. It is firmly backed up by reality. This is one piece of the kaleidoscope of why American politics has turned so sharply insular in the 2010s and early 2020s.

    But regardless of what you think about Boomers or Mexicans or race or trade or assimilation or borders, there are a couple of thoughts to keep in mind:

    First, Mexicans are already in the United States. Whether you’re concerned with what American culture feels like or what the labor market looks like, the great Mexican wave has not only come, it is over. Net migration of Mexicans to the United States peaked in the early 2000s and it has been negative for twelve of the thirteen years since 2008. Just as industrialization and urbanization pushed down birth rates in the developed world, the same process has begun in Mexico, just a few decades later. Today’s Mexican demographic structure suggests it will never again be a net large-scale contributor to American migration. Most of the big migrant flows into the United States since 2014 have instead been from the near-failed Central American states of Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.

    Second, even among the most nativist strains of American political thinking, room has been found for Mexicans. In just two years, none other than Donald Trump went from openly condemning Mexican migrants as rapists and “bad hombres” to embracing Mexico in trade and security deals that took bilateral relations to their friendliest and most productive in the history of both republics. Part and parcel of Trump’s renegotiation of the NAFTA accords were clauses that expressly aim to bring manufacturing back to North America. Not to the United States specifically, but to any signatory of the accords. Team Trump added those clauses with Mexico expressly in mind.

    On the other side of the equation, Mexican-Americans are turning nativist. The demographic in the United States that consistently polls the most anti-migration is not white Americans, but instead (non-first-generation) Mexican-Americans. They want family reunification, but only for their own families. Never forget that anti-migrant, build-the-wall Donald Trump carried nearly every county on the southern border when running for reelection in 2020.”

    * what is this term? What is the goal of such linguistic hijinx? Is he being cutesy, or is he attempting to slip wrongthink by the filter?

    • Jehu says:

      Trump, unlike pretty much every President since probably Andrew Jackson, treated Mexico as a Westphalian peer, not a colony of the US. That’s why Mexico warmed to Trump. Mexican derived Hispanics tend socialist, but more old school socialism and not woke insanity. They also tend to like guys like Trump personally. If the democrats dialed back the insanity, to say, 2008 levels, they’d have handily taken all those border counties.

      One of the egg farms that lost all their birds to bird flu was a family friend’s farm, my grandparents lent them the money to start their operation. With the big egg farms they have tight controls on who gets to come in to work and how they come in. To enter the farms you must go through a carwash and then a clothes check were you change into freshly laundered “jumpsuits”. This inconvenience is to keep bird droppings from the large barns full of egg laying birds, the bird flu is known to spread through droppings and once it’s in a barn the flu kills the entire barn within a week and can quickly spread to other barns.

      While it seems unlikely that it was purposely spread, it would be surprisingly easy to do with the help of a disgruntled employee that knows the farm well.

          • Gedeon says:

            It makes perfect internal sense and is not imaginary other than the round figures I used.

            We have disagreed on the broad stokes of this in the past, but I was anticipating hyper deflation in January 2020 if the control freaks did not conjure up a narrative to expand the deficit by at least $150 billion annualized, or about $2 trillion. Out of seemingly nowhere we got a non-pandemic pandemic crisis. That $2t number was before governors started issuing shelter in place orders when Trump didn’t go along. $2t was about 10% of GDP at that time. In any case, tha CARES Act deficit spend happened when inventories were flush. All we saw was a reflation off the pandemic scare lows. In April 2020 the front month oil contract traded to approximately negative $40/bbl. His was because there was presumably no accessible storage for crude and the economy could not absorb the supply (inventory).

            As you point out, there seem to be many gremlins disrupting the supply chain, which really started with the pier fertilizer explosion in Beirut. So my position is that the control freaks are artificially destroying supply to break the economy. The nature of credit created money is that banks have to increase capital reserves for non-performing loans. The requirements vary across instruments, but the TLDR is that the end of every cent created by credit is the extinguishing of debt.

            Prices going up, reduce the money available for everything previously in the budget if the income is increased proportionately. This causes loan defaults, which causes financial institutions to reserve against potential losses which causes them not to loan and makes lending tighter and the debt deflation becomes self-reinforcing.

            As we stand today, the general price level is not so low as to be an attractive risk/reward opportunity which would drive investment and consumption organically. Instead, they keep destroying supply every time prices start falling. The biggest supply destruction to the markets today is via Russian and Ukrainian export restrictions.

            So take yen, for example, it’s down 20% this year. If people were selling (borrowing) yen and buying US Treasuries the yen carry trade – than what would it look like if they had to repay their yen denominated loans? In theory they would sell the treasuries and convert back to yen.but with the yen down 20% they now have to sell even more treasuries and dollar assets to payback the loans at par because they are in the hole 20%+ on FX rate. So we get more treasury bond selling, which is higher rates and that implodes the housing market, automotive market and consumer spending more generally. As the system is completely leveraged from top to bottom, that 5x mortgage leverage that was great with rising prices is now generating losses at 5x.

            The Yen carry trade is on the cusp of blowing up everything and there is no stimulus scheme that can remedy the situation because there are no inventories. If there is no stimulus or new deficit program, the entire system will fold in on itself because of the leverage/gearing of credit money.

            There continues to be no way to print out of this. The extinguishing of debt was/is always the end and that is deflationary. The value of all stocks is, eventually zero.

            It might seem insane today, but don’t be surprise if Xi sends the PLA to Japan as cover for the Lehman Brothers write-off treatment of the entire Japanese banking system in order to buy the global system more time. That’s the scale of narrative I am watching and waiting for today because it is one of the few ways the control freaks can buy more time.

      Like notglowing said, the dollar is going down, way down, against real things that have and create value.

        The inflation in recent hits me very different compared to usual.

        Never have I experience everything are literally going up in price, businesses need to justify increasing wages and operation margin. So inflation in recent time felt like exponential.

        Supply chain also never recover to the way pre-covid. Everything is hardly on stock or delayed longer than usual. Getting product shipped is getting harder because covid measure never lifted off, so everyone is wary of the next port lockdown.

        • jim says:

          > What gives?

          Reality hits. Reality is that the government printed far too much money, and, because normality bias, people are taking a lot longer than I expected to adjust their behavior to the new reality.

          Because they failed to adjust, and are still failing to adjust, shortages. As they adjust, shortages will go away but prices will rise.

          You should turn money into durable goods that you would eventually have to purchase, because if you delay, you will be paying a lot more.

          • The Ducking Man says:

            But where does the printed money went to?

            My government had zero welfare, and all the covid testing are paid out of our own pocket. My government were busy buying vaccine and paying media. So at best it went to small number of pockets, who I’m sure did not just exponentially increase their consumption.

            I suspect that I suffer normalcy bias in this whole printing money business. And based on my normalcy bias I say that lockdown and covid measure (despite currently being soft) still fuck up the economy more than printing money.

            • Karl says:

              I guess the printed money went to keeping your local currency from appreciating (Indonesia if I remember correctly). So your currency lost value like the US$ and your country imported US inflation.

              • The Ducking Man says:

                Now that you mention it, my country does depend a lot on import (food and raw material). So in a way I did import some of that US inflation.

                IDR 14,500/USD is not sustainable position, I remember complaining a lot when it was still IDR 12,000/USD and then US value skyrocket during covid and never came back 🙁

                It’s US printing money, but I got the hot potato.

            • jim says:

              People overseas are selling a lot more stuff to America. Huge rise in the trade deficit, a lot more money in their pockets, money which it cost the US nothing to print – not that it is actually printed these days, they just change the numbers in bank accounts.

              So people all over the world are getting more money in their pockets. It will take them a while to realize they have been robbed.

    Entertaining jew-on-jew interview with Edward Luttwak. If the intro seems terrible, just page down until the talking starts. Luttwak swishes and swoops around in supreme self-confidence but the other guy isn’t bad either. (The reader will note that Info Era warfare is dismissed, perhaps somewhat too breezily.) The final part is about the US from the jewish viewpoint, interesting enough in itself.

      An engaging and apparently well-informed account of Russia’s and America’s shared “Fourth Generation Warfare” misinterpretation of the Ukraine and its ability to coalesce into nationhood upon attack from outside. The details of the aborted airport takeover were new to me. I’d be curious what Jim thinks of his account, as Luttwak is strongly skeptical of the primacy of information warfare.

      Everything else strikes me as neither more nor less insightful than your average Beltway cocktail party conversation. How well you could keep up would depend on your mastery of that particular form, and perhaps how well you handle your martinis.

      Also, a telling wilful ignorance at the very end about the “disappearance” of Mediterranean Jews:

      The Temple in Jerusalem was a very expensive operation where you buy animals and slaughter them. It was a large-scale butcher shop with lots of money and people wearing funny clothes. All of that was sustained by the money from Egyptian and other wealthy Jews abroad in Greece, Rome, France. They disappeared. There’s no trace, by the way, of any persecution. It’s the absence of persecution that caused the disappearance.

      They’re called Christians. They became Christians, plain and simple. There is no mystery about it. The majority of Mediterranean Jews found the story of Jesus’s messiahship quite plausible. Kind of astonishing, if predictable, that you could know the details of Vaspasian’s prep school experience while forgetting the spread and ascendance of the largest faith in the world, most of whose early adherents were of your own tribe…

      I’d like to point out that IEW isn’t discussed at all. They talk about 4th gen warfare, which I call the post-Cold War Paradigm. Briefly, this is when the real combat ops are police actions, R2P operations, and intel ops that culminate in sloppy assassinations, and war games are fantastical Risk battles completely disconnected from reality (Luttwak seems correct on this one). This is not IEW. If SOMEONE would write a graypaper explaining IEW, I’d love to hear Luttwak’s take. I bet he’d be dismissive in the moment, then circle back and realize what it means very quickly.

      • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

        Indeed. When you hear the term ‘4th generation warfare’, is is the bluetribesman projecting the inflation of his own perspective into all aspects of the world in general. That power grows out of a megaphone, and that you can dominate the battlefield against a hostile enemy without even having to do any of that icky redtribe warrior stuff at all.

        Luttwak, like any good maoist, asserts that power grows out the barrel of a gun, and that you dominate the battlefield by ability to kill the other guys dead.

  102. Pax Imperialis says:

    Something that I’ve realized recently is the terminology of WW1 and WW2 factions. Who decided that it was between the allies and the central powers or the allies and the axis? Historians could have easily called the allies the western powers. American civil war was between the Union and the Confederates. Both terms mirror each other and at first glance neither is the obvious good guy.

    Were the central powers not allies of each other? Were the axis not also allies of each other? So why were the allies the allies and not them? Obviously the victors write history… but how is it that such obvious narrative bias gets overlooked so easily even by sympathizers of the central powers and the axis?

    Yarvin was right that many dissidents fall into the caricature of their enemies in an effort of overtly reject the current day aesthetics.

    • Kunning Drueger says:

      During the second war, allied propaganda heavily deployed the term “the united nations” (I actually have some OG source material) and propagated the lie that the German/Italian Axis was coordinating with the Japanese Empire. Regarding the first, I think the switcheroo to just Allies occured in ~1947.

            I am asserting that if Jim hellbans AF, he’ll be replaced by yet another entryist that goes on at great length, hits meaningful topics that engender engagement, deploys just enough shibboleths and consistent, in-frame claims to seem valid, and posts relentlessly, all with the goal of reducing the number of minutes Jim could be applying to useful (as in destructive to the polygon) endeavors. I think this is a targeted attack tailormade precisely for this blog and our host. I think CR built the model (others too, but his operation was nuts in terms of time invested just to end up at the rhetorical position of “lol fuck Pizza Hut franchises gommunism ruelz”) and AF is using it.

          I am letting him through when he engages, but endless and repetitious payload just takes up too much space, time, and thought. The trouble is that the payload is quite well crafted “We can best accomplish worthy right wing goal X by doing Y”, where that Y may well accomplish X presupposes a Marxist account of reality, and consists of measures to radically increase the power of Harvard. The real payload is not that he expects anyone to adopt these evil and insane measures, but the insanely distorted reality that they presuppose and take for granted, which is never explicitly argued for, because everyone supposedly knows it to be true and obvious and everyone supposedly takes it for granted. And when I let his stuff through, I feel the need to point out that the version of reality that his arguments presuppose is an insignificantly tiny lunatic minority version, and is a minority version even in Harvard.

          And I have spent far too much time pointing this out, and am not going to let him through any more, nor explain it one more time, unless he stops doing it. If I need to explain it yet again, not going to. Just going to silently send the comment to spam along with all the others.

    Of course, there is no reason for Putin to stop anymore at this point. The GAE completely fucked up its strategic situation, creating a strong and independent Russian economy in particular, and parallel world economy in general, while torpedoeing its own. It keeps making infinity numbers of fedbucks appear in Zelenkyy’s bank computer servers, but there is nothing to buy with it.

    Not even taking the southern coast and linking it with the donbass is good enough anymore. The only thing that will bring peace is the heads of all the globohomo instigators, collaborators, and puppets in Ukraine explosively decompressed on live thermal camera.

            Such contests happened less often than you would think – but they happened a fair bit.

            Under the current social environment, would likely happen a lot. They were pretty rare in Saga period Iceland, which had a state religion without a state. The priesthood, who were normally the men who summoned the posse, shared a common faith, which prescribed right violence in considerable detail.

            This system tends to happen spontaneously a fair bit, with the congregation being the social basis for organizing the posse. Which becomes a problem when you get holy war. Worked pretty well in Iceland because the stateless state religion had lots of precedent and experience in summoning posses, and a pile of consensus and precedent.

    So this is interesting. I came across a Jim reference in the wild recently. He was cited in a peer-reviewed Cathedral (Johns Hopkins) political science journal, namely a comment expressing his desire to apply for, of all things, the position of King Trump’s Grand Inquisitor:

    A more satirical version (I think—it grows ever more difficult to tell the ironic from the uninflected) comes from Jim at blog.jim.com who described how Trump could follow the example of Duterte to become King.

    “So for Trump to become King in substance, and eventually King in name, he has to seize the power to fire the fireproof. Which, given that he has support from the military, the praetorians, the cops, the rentacops, and the mercenaries, and that judges do not have much support from anyone, is quite doable…. if Trump exercises the power of Kings and does so competently and bravely, if he is worthy to exercise such power, Kings shall in due course ensue. I will then apply for the job of Grand Inquisitor when the time is right.”

    Now that’s what I call a coincidence in light of the recent thread. Also reinforces a point I made once about how this blog might be weirdly protected from the more intense kinds of scrutiny because it falls so far outside of the Cathedral frame of reference that they presume it must be satire. Like their brains are literally incapable of processing Jim’s thoughts as possible real thoughts. (As well as how this blog is read by more people across a broader spectrum than you might expect…)

        “Progressives cannot even understand cuckservatives very well… ”

        Understatement. There is no room for understanding at all. They think any shade of conservative thought, cuckservative and rino included, is delusional.

        They think the delusion comes from purely irrational hate and fear. Try pointing out that there are legitimate reasons to fear them and you must be ignorant needing more education. Point out that hate is in response to massive mistreatment, they turn around and say conservatives are all Nazis and so deserve to be punished.

        Try using logic to argue that punishing conservatives repeatedly creates legitimate hate and are thus not delusional. Get told there is no negotiating with evil/fascists/nazis and they deserve to be eliminated.

        Tell them that elimination sounds like genocide. Get told it’s perfectly fine because nazis are not a racial/ethnic group and thus it’s not genocide. “All they have to do is stop being evil/fascists/nazis!”

        Then they loop back around to it being irrational by claiming all conservatives have to do is become liberals and then there won’t be any hate or fear. That it’s delusional not to want to be liberal. And thus conservatives are all delusional because they are hurting themselves which is a mental health issue, which “can be fixed by education and universal mental healthcare.”

        It’s the same problem Matt Walsh ran into when asking what is a woman.

        For now, if their priests ever seriously turn their eyes on the reactionaries, the propaganda will follow to inoculate progressives into the logic seen above. Right now they don’t see reactionaries as a threat… when that changes reactionaries will start being persecuted in mass.

    Partial black pill post, hopefully some good analysis, maybe funny at the end.

    I keep coming across alleged intercepted recordings of Russian troops in Ukraine making phone calls to their family in Russia. In these phone calls they describe a variety of war crimes, low moral, etc.

    The most basic rules of OPSEC means no cell phones when leaving the line of departure to go into a war zone. Seems obvious that Ukraine is manufacturing fake recordings for their propaganda, but people blindly believe.

    Been talking with a lot of communists lately, some of who work in various civilian intel agencies. Typical DC types with S/TS. They genuinely do not realize they are gaslighting or propagating fake news. It’s reminds me of when Mishima told a bunch of young leftist that he believed in their passion and nothing else. These communists are so passionate about a vague sense of progress they can’t see the sheer destruction they leave in their wake. It’s impossible to even point out inconsistencies in their thinking because they simply don’t see it. They don’t even react to it. When Jew Moldbug talked with Nazis they were at least willing to entertain his ideas and think about them even if their biases caused them to reject everything. Such a thing is impossible with communists as they are incapable of even entertaining ideas outside of their idea of “progress.” That is likely why right wing mass killings tend to be far more limited when compared to left wing mass killings. The right, even at its most extreme, is far more capable of tolerance and reason compared to the left.

    Moldbug’s American Caesar is not possible because such a Caesar puts an end to the fight between the factions without bodies floating down the Potomac. With how communists are, dealing them is going to require dumping them into the Potomac in winter. Maybe namefag Yarvin is just saying that an American Caesar would be able to restore without mass bloodshed to stay acceptable and he knows what the reality will be anything but bloodless, or perhaps he’s overly optimistic.

    “The military in 2022 is simply not a good place to be for a good man” Pseudo-Chrysostom

    It is not a good place to be. But desire for brotherhood and the allure of a good death is strong especially in these times. USG has been able to hijack masculine desire for adventure, fraternity, and glory in a time of decline to achieve terrible goals. They have done so by making normal life so relatively unbearable. American in 2022 is simply not a good place to be for a good man. At least in the military one can potentially die in a masculine way, but that’s very much a deal with the devil.

    Asked some close male friends recently about what they thought about me and my interactions with women. Turns out women see me a borderline psychopath who they think they can fix. Also turns out the guys think I’m a delusional bad boy who thinks he’s a good boy. So basically all my theories on women and shit testing are likely bunk… so anything I wrote in the past on women here is likely questionable.

    • ExileStyle says:

      Hoping for a bloodless coup in the modern era is wishful thinking, and the earnest belief in its possibility is a sign that Yarvin is writing as much fantasy as sincere analysis. Caesar became dictator in a system that was familiar with and had experienced short-term coups before. Also, lacking mass media, political debate was reserved for the elite (Senate), and while the Plebeians were of course one of the major bases of Julius’s power, the they tended to coalesce around a single opinion/champion. (Though there are modern cases of this too, e.g. Turkey, which until recently would simply be taken over relatively bloodlessly by the military if they became dissatisifed)

      Also, Rome erupted into bloody civil war as soon as Caesar was dead, so the real imperial story arc includes both Julius and Octavian, the latter of whom stacked the bodies up no problem. We need to remember that a stable Caesar usually arrives *after* substantial bloodshed; see Cromwell after Civil War, Napoleon after Revolution, Franco after Civil War.

      As for the latter, maybe our most recent case study (esp. because it was Caesarization in a western Christian nation against literal communists who were still capable of being funded from abroad), well, cathedral sources estimate 50k-200k “White Terror victims,” so maybe half of that at most, which seems a small price to pay.

      Any potential Caesar is going to need more than just the stomach for political intrigue and palace coups, which any Hillary Harpy could also arrange; he’s going to have to be unmoved by the subsequent purges as well, which I think disqualifies the likes of Musk.

      Why? That sounds like a perfect combination: women want to fix you while even your comrades sense something “bad” about you which is not mere performance: go forth and multiply.

      • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

        We tend to overlook that even Caesar was excessively biased to normalcy, and his mercy killed him. Both Octavian and Constantine were no strangers to killing and purges, and they were the actual success stories. They survived to rule

        I tend to agree with this analysis. It’s important to be realistic where we are in the cycle. Gracchus came during the beginning of the troubles of the Roman Republic and Caesar the end. Several generations of bloodshed, instability, and chaos between them.

        Seems to me Trump signifies the beginning stages of chaos, not the end.

        So on the Roman model, which has been the most accurate model so far, we should be prepared for several decades more of chaos and instability until a real Caesar comes, which is interesting because we may very well be in hardcore IEW by then. May Caesar’s drones strike fast and true as they fly over the Potomac.

        The realization that a “mostly peaceful,” in a humorous reflection of BLM’s “mostly peaceful,” destruction of the Cathedral is outside likely possibilities is harsh. Especially when one has many friends and family in the Cathedral.

        I’ve been reading through the Open Letter again. It really speaks to those who were adopted into the Brahmin ruling caste, yet remained partly alien and thus simultaneously outside the Cathedral.

        Yarvin is a Jew. My father was, in a sense, adopted into the old time WASP establishment, Freemasons and all. He was mixed race but also confused for Caucasian. I’m clearly Asian but also inherited that WASP tradition and proximity to the Cathedral. In many ways I share parallels with Yarvin. An outsider who was adopted by insiders and treated as an insider.

        I think that is the greatest failing of Yarvin’s open letter. It mostly appeals to those who were already partly outside the Cathedral in the first place due to circumstance and not “open mindedness.” I’ve tried introducing the open letter to many Whites of pure American stock residing in the Cathedral and it often fails to register. It has only seemingly been appreciated by those who are mixed, non white, or originally outside the Cathedral such as Texan conservatives who find themselves in the belly of the beast.

        I’m not sure Yarvin realizes he’s mostly talking to outsider-insider dissidents who are a minority of a minority. Trump is an outsider-insider dissident. Never fully accepted into New York elites yet maintaining the wealth to rub shoulders. Tucker Carlson is much similar.

        To that end, it’s not really a letter to open minded progressives, but pre-existing dissidents who haven’t yet realized the full scope of the rot. Still useful, but not as useful as one might hope.

There’s no way to make that comfortable, brother. People I care about and love are demonic catspaws. This is part of why I think Yarvin was correct in saying the transition/restoration team has no place in the new society it creates. Too much baggage, to many deep, spiritual wounds.

      When you take the red pill with the white pill, you realize you are acting in accordance with the Lord’s commandments, and their idea of a “good boy” comes from demons, be those demons literal or metaphorical.

      Being what the purple pilled, blue pilled, and black pilled think of as a good boy will not only hurt you, it will hurt the women in your life.

      A sexual morality that attempts to apply the same rules, same words, and same concepts to males and females is gay – it is homosexuals taking over our cultural space and chasing us out of it.

      Anisogamous organisms inherently have very different and complementary behaviors, and defection is asymmetric. All sexual evil consists ultimately of damaging other people’s capacity to reproduce. Conducting oneself according to rules contrary to reality and to the natural order damages everyone’s capability to reproduce.

          I’m mainly dejected over the fact that I have likely spread a great deal of bad advice.

          I didn’t realize that telling a woman at a party to her face, and in front of her friends, that her home city in California should be razed to the ground and the earth salted got interpreted as borderline psychopath. I also didn’t realize that comments like that was the main reason I was getting many women’s phones numbers.

        Please elaborate.

        I assume what normies and women percieve as a bad boy is a retarded frame found in low level criminals and a killer frame found in upper level organized criminal groups. I do not think acting like a cartel member, for the most part, I am sure exceptions exist, is God’s will. I know acting like an inner city nigger is not in God’s will.

        I am willing to defend my honor and property against all threats, I don’t bend over backwards for the opionions of women, but this I do not think makes it across to others as what is being described here. So what is this commandment I am failing to fulfill? I do not see it. As far as I can tell, acting like a ‘bad boy’ is a show you put up, in many ways is defection, to gain some amount of status, which would be completely unnecessary were we living in sane times.

        • Pooch says:

          The “bad boy” meme is purple pilled. Inner city street niggers don’t get beautiful women thrown at them. High status men get beautiful women thrown at them. What women are attracted to needs to always be viewed through the lens of what they perceive as high male status.

            • Pooch says:

              They judge status by who they perceive to be alpha of a group of males, thus NFL players have the highest status. Why? Because millions of retarded men watch it religiously.

              • Yul Bornhold says:

                Conversely, the alpha in the room is far sexier than the alpha on TV, same as the 5/10 chick in the room is hotter than the 10/10 on the internet.

                • Pooch says:

                  If an NFL player is in the room, he will be surrounded by 100 male fans. It’s very clear to women who the alpha in the room is.

                  Women are tuned to pick up who other men perceive to be the alpha. If other men are perceiving alpha in a degenerate way, like NFL or gladiators in Rome, it’s not women’s ability to judge status as being retarded, it’s the men in the room’s ability to judge status as being retarded.

                • Adam says:

                  Yes they are tuned in to who other men view as alpha, but also other women as well. Alpha/beta are relative terms used to illustrate the 80/20 rule. So it’s inherently difficult to pin down definitions of those terms, as it really depends on the group of men.

                  Generally, capacity for violence, dominant personality, dominant physical presence. Competence and confidence. Alphas are the ones who stand out from the rest.

                  Thugs get women, even very young beautiful women. But trust me that is not a life anyone wants to live. Pussy is just not worth it. I mean it is, but living that way is hard. It’s a good sexual strategy at the expense of everything else.

                  After I found the red pill maybe 7 years ago, I started increasing my comfort game, and the more personable and social I’ve become, the more attention I’ve received from even very young beautiful women.

                  There’s a line somewhere as far as how big of a dick you have to be, and I think guys over do it a lot. You don’t have to be the biggest son of a bitch that ever lived. And you can scare off a lot of girls that way. Just have to find what works for you.

                I was at a party and I was talking about women to a blue pilled normie, who is, predictably, raising two boys who are not his own, their actual father, predictably, being in jail, and the normie, predictably, being childless.

                I attempted to start a conversation about our past misadventures with women. He fearfully remarked “Women don’t like that” – meaning women don’t like men talking about their past women and he did not want to upset his girlfriend.

                To which I replied: “Women love what they hate.” His girlfriend supposedly likes nice guys like himself, but somehow during a protracted fit of absent mindedness wound up bearing two sons to a violent stoner with no job who spends all his mysteriously acquired money on drugs.

                When she was with the violent stoner, she had a job and he did not, while now she is with the nice guy, he has a job and she does not. I never saw her hug him, or look at him admiringly, at the party, even though he was by far the most handsome man at the party, and except for myself the most intelligent. Handsome, wealthy, intelligent, kind, and he predictably gets another man’s leavings. Women like dangerous men, or men who plausibly seem dangerous, and she likes most of all a man who can plausibly appear to seem dangerous to herself.

                  Women don’t like nice guys. Nice guys finish last because pedalization of women is a effeminate trait which is exhibited by men without sexual options.

                  But the inverse of a nice guy is not a violent druggie stoner.

                  The inverse of a nice guy is simply a man who puts himself first and women a low priority in his life. “I have 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one.”

                  Sure the violent druggie stoner is part of the subset of men who fail to worship women as a top priority in life and thus pulls chicks, but completely detached from reality to say the only men who fail to worship women are violent stoners.

                  Women see dangerous men as alpha. The nigger peacock act consists in large part of proclaiming “dangerous man” loudly and continually to everyone. Truly dangerous men do not advertise. Women are quite willing to patiently research, and, like everyone else, expect that to find the truly dangerous man, they will have to do a lot of research.

                  A man can spot fertility at thirty paces in seconds. What women are looking for takes a long time to check out, and they are willing to spend a long time.

                  Pooch you keep forgetting about the feels. They love love love dangerous men, because dangerous men get those feels going. Imagine doing something dangerous like bungee jumping. That’s how a woman feels around a truly dangerous and somewhat unpredictable man. Except she’s not quite sure when she’s going bungee jumping.

                  Women ride waves of feels. My oldest daughter once was hysterical and in tears telling my wife “Mom I can’t feel anything!”. Absolutely lost her mind. Wife tells her she’s just about to get her period. Next day she got it and felt better. A woman’s feels is the only way they know where they are. It’s as significant as a man’s moral compass.

                  If the foundation of our reality is truth, a woman’s is feels. How they feel, right now, determines everything past present and future. They guys that understand that themselves, are guys that have women addicted to them.

Unless they piss me off, and it takes quite a bit to piss me off. I really make an effort to put myself in their shoes and try to understand why they are doing things that I object to.

                  Women rather like willingness to care for others, and willingness to understand, provided it comes from strength and courage, rather than weakness and fear. But they do not like the sheepdog. They prefer the wolf. The woman wants a man who could be dangerous to her if she did the wrong thing, but not capriciously dangerous to her.

                  The first step to weaning himself of prostitutes is to get chicks taking care of him, instead of him taking care of the chick and her demon lover. And the first step to that is to let go of the blue pill and take the white pill with the red pill. I suggested that he get a crew together and hit the kind of pickup spot frequented by chicks rather than by very few chicks and large numbers of pickup artists vastly more skilled than oneself. Such places tend to be inconvenient, expensive, and a very long distance away.

                  If he can find a pickup artist that does not suck, and is willing to distribute the loot to his minions, that man should be alpha of the group.

Heavy lifting will put on muscle: bench, deadlift, squat as basics. When you speak, be confident and concise slightly louder than room conversation. Smell is a factor. Do away with any scented soap/shampoos. Avoid foods that leach through your pours. The animal side of women subconsciously judge smell. There is something called alum, a white crystal salt, you can get at most asian stores that works well for underarm. No scent. When you hunt, you learn to pay attention to smell.

          And there you go, assuming men and women are the same. Male perception of male status is completely different from female perception of status, and normie male perception of male status even more discrepant with female perception of status than based male perception of male status.

              I don’t think so. Not my experience. Or rather they perceive it very differently. It is truly amazing how much mistreatment and neglect a woman will put up with from her demon lover. And when her demon lover predictably goes to prison or gets killed, and she reluctantly settles for someone handsome, kind, highly intelligent, and high status in the male hierarchy, her discontent and alpha widowhood is evident.

              I am pretty sure male normies do not regard broke stoners headed for a long term in prison or a violent death as high status.

                I said that. I am not in disagreement on this point. I am in disagreement that because women are attracted to nigger peacocks, God commands you to be a nigger peacock. That when “you take the red pill with the white pil”, it means you have internalized the nigger peacock and are fulfilling the role of man in creation. Hence, I asked you to elaborate on the behavior that leads to

                >the guys think I’m a delusional bad boy who thinks he’s a good boy.

                Because from my perspective, that means internalizing the nigger peacock. Dressing and acting like the white version of an inner city nigger. If that’s wrong, what is the ‘bad boy’ to you?

                Marrying a whore with two kids by a “broke stoners headed for a long term in prison or a violent death” is not high status either, no matter how handsome and intelligent you are. Shows a lack of self respect that must go deep. From that decision alone I can only imagine the other self degrading behavior this man must partake in.

                  Well, I certainly do not act like a nigger peacock.

                  What I can be, is rather scary. And in fact the typical very bad man that women find so remarkably attractive does not act like a nigger peacock either – but he nonetheless is headed for prison or violent death, and is unlikely to have any assets or money enroute to his destination

                  If they are “headed for prison or violent death”, I am bucketing that as nigger peacock. The violence is just for show, because it will get them nowhere, just like the plumage of the peacock is just for show.

                  Putin is a scary man, not a nigger peacock, in fact is far far scarier and deadlier than a nogger peacock, but will get sexually outcompeted by the nigger peacock all the same if he could not order him killed, because the behavior is targeted for the female limbic system.

I don’t have an answer as to the synthesis of this. Internalize the nigger peacock, lose your soul. Fail to internalize the nigger peacock, lose your bloodline.

                  The plumage may be for show, but time and chance have conspired such that the best plumed bird is also the biggest with the sharpest talons. Of course, a peacock compared to a tiger is a silly joke, but compared to other peacocks…

                  The situation we are in is the equivalent of the female peacock using males of other species as their template. “Nice tail feathers, but can you hold your breath for an hour, walk across the desert, and fly for thousands of miles at a glide? Because that’s the lunacy I believe about my stepdad who popped my cherry…” The female lower brain is just doing its job with the programming it has. A violent man is known to be violent which means he will be able to be violent if violence is required and violence is always required. Her thinly developed upper brain is what’s making this complicated. Women are not, by nature, contemplative thinkers. They can plan their wedding at age 7, or manage a household of many kids, animals, with much upkeep, but if you ask them why they prefer one thing to another, you’re going to receive a hash of illogical inanity and anecdotal evidence filtered through their internal lens (remember, every woman is the center of their little universe until ((hopefully)) they are replaced by their children; to you closeted blue pillers and needlessly needling wives reading things that don’t concern you, this is not a demeaning attack on wahmens, it is an observable fact reinforced countless times every day).

                  Their lower brain perceives the potential for violence, their upper brain projects their constructed interpretive framework. The pussy gets wet, and the decision is made, and at no point are they thinking about this. Trying to come at the problem from a perspective of “how do I act like what she wants” is suboptimal for many reasons. The optimum path, all factors considered, is to act with confidence and refuse to engage with minor fitness tests unless the riches of sandwiches, pussy, and pillow talk are secured. You can try to build a personality projection that aligns with a given woman’s weird, fantastical ideation, but if it doesn’t hit the brain-brain-vagina-decision buttons correctly, you’re nothing more than a piece of furniture in her world. Better to move through her world like Oumuamua, leaving her forever wondering if you were a gift from the gods or a catastrophe barely avoided.

                  Exactly right and a profound point of the Red Pill. Women are simply attracted to what gives them feels and not to what doesn’t. They are not logical like men and their entire decision making tree is based off of emotion. It really shouldn’t be overthought more than that.

                  Seeing a hot woman with a criminal boyfriend should not make one assume “I guess I have to be a criminal to pull a chick like that”. I think Jim is causing men a lot of damage making them think this. Poor Com seems permanently damaged and thinks he needs to be a violent thug or something or not even try.

                  The criminal is simply giving her feels that make her wet. This feeling of danger, excitement, and thrill is what gives her the tingles and can be replicated on a motorcycle, a fast car, or a boat all the same.

                  The nigger peacock act absolutely beats out the scary tough guy act, it is a more direct stimulus to the limbic system. A guy with dreds and face tats and an inability to keep his mouth shut and think with anything but his dick has the advantage up until he gets himself arrested or killed, regardless that in fact he is less dangerous than an intelligent killer. Women are retarded and are responding to a stimulus, the stimulus being superficial to the content. To the extent all women are not with nigger peacocks is momentum from when times were not so, fumes of an empty tank. It is rapidly approaching peak niggerdom.

                  The conclusion is violent recapture of the social order or the destruction of civilization. Recapture of civilization impossible for now, the response is to embody as much of the nigger peacock as you can in order to maybe make it to the next round. This strategy gets more untenable every round, as plumage takes away the biological energy for brains.

                  I mostly take issue with calling this frame white pilled, “acting in accordance with the Lord’s commandments”. It’s doing the absolute necessary amount to get into the next round of the game, where you might be able to reestablish the proper order.

                  Nuts. Niggers have an exemption from the ban on masculinity, so tend to be markedly more masculine.

                  Masculinity does not consist of acting like a nigger. A significant part of acting like a nigger, however, consists of acting masculine.

                  Not quite. An individual woman’s ability to judge alpha is highly dependent on the type of men she has been exposed to.

                  Not all women have been exposed to nigger peacocks and thus not all will seek them out. In fact, I’d say it’s a small number who do.

                  Upper class women are particularly sheltered from degenerate niggers (until they go to college and find the football players). The alphas for upper class women are going to be less degenerate, at least for as long as they are sheltered from male degeneracy.

                  White masculinity is demeaned and ridiculed by the state. Black masculinity is celebrated. Understanding this dynamic, one does not necessarily need to act like a nigger to be masculine (although through the lens of contemporary society it my appear this is the only way.)

                I am pretty sure male normies do not regard broke stoners headed for a long term in prison or a violent death as high status.

                It’s clear you are not familiar with the criminal drug world. Broke stoners are not violent, have no status, are losers at life, and do not get laid. Maybe they occasionally can trade weed for sex from other stoner chicks who generally are not hot.

                In the criminal drug world, drug dealers are violent, high status, and pull chicks. They also tend to be gang leaders and thus alpha. Drug buyers are beta and get not bitches. Drug dealers are alpha and get bitches.

                • Kunning Druegger says:

                  Lol, maybe on The Wire. You are not familiar with the criminal drug world.

                • Pooch says:

                  I grew up in an area where drug use was not uncommon and this is what I saw. Stoners/buyers low status. Dealers and pushers high status. Dealers had the money and the bitches. the Stoners had jack shit. If you weren’t getting high on your own supply you were just a john equivalent to buying sex off a prostitute.

                • Kunning Druegger says:

                  Your experience is the ecosystem of the end user. The people you consider Dealers are actually just the penultimate user. Actual dealers, they swim in whatever pool they want; the dealers you describe are just luxuriating in the muddy pond they inhabit. There’s one surefire way to figure out how big a dealer is: remove him from the ecosystem and see if habits change. If pen- and ultimate users just switch suppliers, very low on the chain. If every one stops doing/selling X and switches to Y, you’re moving up.

                • The Cominator says:

                  Depends there are definitely levels of drug dealer, and plenty of retail dealers “use” but not all do…

                  The drug business is all rats though, prettymuch everyone in it. Thats the real reason the oldschool mafiosi hated the drug business.

                • Pooch says:

                  Dealers are definitely in a hierarchy but this does not invalidate my experience. The higher up the chain, the higher the status, group cohesion, and capacity for violence. El Chapo has the highest status and the low level weed high school dealer the lowest status in this chain.

                  The low level weed pusher is lower status than a Coke dealer, who also sells weed and pills and frequently carries a gun on him.

                • The Cominator says:

                  Yes there is a hierarchy but women will generally fuck anyone in that particular hierarchy at the dealer level or above…

              Old joke:
              Two hikers are in the woods. They see a bear rapidly heading toward them from a distance. One hiker starts re-tying one of his shoes.
              “That’s futile,” his friend says, “you can’t outrun a bear.”

Especially if there is a bicycle to uses as a barrier/weapon. I thought to myself “This must be fake news. They must either be women or trans men.” And I was right!!!! It subsequently came out they were trans men.

          Socially dominant is a better term than bad boy. Bad boy is socially dominant among teenagers, and what white teenage girls often go for. In other social circles, social dominance means something else. There is overlapping common ground in these different social circles, which is obviously called alpha behavior. Mostly I think it is having the balls to win, without playing by anyone else’s fake and gay rules, and succeeding. King of the hill. Which is a tough game to play long term, as there is always someone who is willing to do what you are not. Maintaining alpha status long term can be very difficult, depending on which hill you want to be king of.

          • Adam says:

            What is alpha at a church, country club, or inner city is going to be a little different, but the men who are alpha are all going to be the same in that they are willing and capable of doing what the betas are not. They may not all get the same female attention, but the females in proximity will all give their attention to the alphas, for the time being.

            • jim says:

              What is alpha at a Church, or even a country club, females do not find all that impressive. When men demonstrate alpha in ways that shout loudly to other men, women do not hear it, but women can spot a hover hand at thirty paces.

              • Adam says:

                When I was in my early teens, I had a few girlfriends, each breaking up with me to immediately start dating some other guy not really any different from me. Third time it happened I still didn’t really know why, but in a fit of rage I just said fuck it, if nobody is going to cooperate I’m just going to do whatever I want. Which I did, wherever I went. Endless pussy after that.

                The most alpha thing you can do as notice a pretty girl, make your way to her and start doing whatever you want. And don’t let anyone stop you.

                • Adam says:

    • Adam says:

      Time to find yourself a wife. If you find a woman who thinks she can fix you, she is likely willing to put a lot of effort into pleasing you, and put a lot of effort into raising your children. Obviously you do not need to be fixed as you are not broken, so she should not be allowed to succeed. If she does succeed, you have been betaized. If your aware of this, you can use it to your advantage.

      Just don’t let her talk back to you. If you find yourself defending your position, you are losing. It will wear you out the same as everyone else. You are not broken, you do not need fixing. End of story. If the conversation continues, a spanking is in order, the kind that makes it uncomfortable to sit down for a day or two.

      • jim says:

        I have never spanked my wife that hard. On one occasion she was obstinately disobeying and I spanked her until she obeyed, which took an alarming amount of spanking, of alarmingly severe spanking, and she was sore for a bit. Ever since then she has never disobeyed me to my face.

        On one occasion she caused a problem which there seemed no way of fixing, and I started giving her a lecture on how she had screwed up, and she started ostentatiously ignoring me. I slapped her, quite lightly, on the face, and she was shocked and listened respectfully to my lecture. Thereafter I let the matter rest, because the problem seemed stuck, and she quietly disappeared from my sight, and quietly fixed the problem that she had caused. She remembers that quite light slap on the face better than the spanking.

        • Adam says:

          I never did slap my wife, although many times I should have. Once I raised my hand in anger, and she retreated to the bedroom and called my father who in turn called the sheriff. Nothing came of it, except quite a lot of drama and attention for my wife. I think had I struck her, probably would have solved the problem, probably would not have involved the sheriffs department.

        • Adam says:

          My wife and I have always received praise for how well behaved our children were even at very young ages. It always seemed odd to hear, because we never put much thought into it.

          One of the best things we did when they made a fuss, especially in public, is lightly flick their lips with our fingers, like how you would flick a pea or something. When they were really little, they would go from loud and obnoxious to a pile of tears in an instant, just out of shock. It wasn’t anything that hurt, it just let them know they are not the center of the world. It worked especially well on our girls.

            In Japan and Korea dekopin (forehead flicking) is a common bit of social technology for asserting dominance and/or quickly venting physically without harming the target.

            Highly recommend it as part of managing misbehaving kids or your girl; it can be done much faster than spanking, and isn’t as much of an escalation as a slap (which you can always escalate to next if needed, but often all you need to get compliance is demonstrating that you have no compunctions forcefully violating their space and striking them with a full force muscle release. As a warning shot you only use one finger and strike the thick part of the forehead, but the subconscious registers that next you could do a lot more)

            Japanese mothers use it to release annoyance at their infants without harming them. Here’s a comic a wife made about her Korean husband doming her with it to make him a sammich:

        • alf says:

          I have slapped my woman three, maybe four times in the course of our relation.

          The first time was early on, when I was in the process of digesting the red pill. The subject of violence came up and I pulled the Sean Connery: ‘not the worst thing to slap a woman now and then.’ Likely sensing that I had never practiced what I preached she caused trouble in the following days, and so for the first time in my life I slapped a woman. I remember the make-up sex was great.

          The other times it was her just causing trouble. The men get portrayed as agressors, but really she’s more often the instigator, agressively provoking me and the slap is me finally putting my foot down. Becomes rarer as we are together longer, I must say.

          There is one funny story of a time I hit her. Jim, in his usual Jimness, argued that woman don’t mind a man hitting her. He hit his wife out of the blue, he said, she did not mind. Me, an investigative sperg, decided to replicate the experiment. So I hit my girl out of the blue. Result: she broke down in tears and I had to console her for half an hour. She was pregnant and hormonal at the time so maybe that had something to do with it. I kinda feel bad about it but mostly it was very funny. Damn Jim and his wacky theories.

    Lot’s of good feedback on the Fatts Yudkowsky scarepiece, and it appears we have some deep SME potential on this topic, so I wanted to lift my comment from down thread, with some elaboration.

    The general consensus here is that an AGI killtastrophe is a spook on par with Global Warming. It’s also obvious that ML and AI are significant tools for both IEW and digital propaganda. Given the frequency and degree our Enemy uses lies, I wonder if they will come out with some Transhuman fount of inescapable and perfect truth, a source that only they can intercede with, and use this fAGI to unite the various monolithic conspiracies to accelerate their efforts.

    Is this something worth considering?

    What would it look like?

    What would the reception be?

    How could a move like this be countered?

    Consider videos like this[1] and how the NPCs might latch onto such a notion, particularly if the System Crash that appears to be brewing occurs. Obviously, it really only matters what the Elites think and do, but in times of crisis, quantity has a quality all its own.

      The X-Files is a quintessential 90s show; the expression of a folk who, in that limbo between epochs, where the last substantial presences of the old religio had been dissolved, while the new religio had yet to fully step into the vacuum, looked back, at the storm of chaos and lies that cloaked the 20th century, and, at a loss in ability to shift any sense of order from the chaff, asked themselves: ‘what explains all this nonsense?’.

      And the only thing that made the sequence of events seem *rational* in their minds was: ‘there are literal alien invaders, and they are behind conspiracies to prepare earth for colonization, or maybe it is a conspiracy to stop them, or maybe both at the same time’.

      A constructed idol onto which they project their own conceits is a totally predictable happenstance, or rather, that is exactly what they are trying to do to begin with; ‘AGI alignment’ is about constructing the worlds largest mirror to reflect an image of themselves back at themselves. ‘Me, but More’.

        • Guy says:

          I recommend looking into To the Stars Academy, it’s a ridiculous outfit with some people with impressive titles that is involved in the public pushing of the recent alien stuff. Ever since I saw Tom Delonge on Joe Rogan years back I’ve been convinced fake aliens are coming. They were the source, with pentagon backing, of the images from US fighters of so-called tic tacs.

          I’d recommend watching the entire Rogan episode, Delonge is crazy and likely being duped, but the fact that they let him go stay this stuff with no rebuttal suggests they want people to believe it.

          Basically he said the entire Cold war and current international financial system were covers to finance intergalactic space craft and Earth defense systems against an alien threat and that he wrote a book about it and the Pentagon was like “yep you’re right we need your help to get the message out to the people”.

          • Kunning Druegger says:

            I agree it’s probably some fake alien scheme, but, just for fun, consider what would have actually happened if extraterrestrials did make contact some time in the 1940s. What would the government do? What could they do?

            • Guy says:

              There’s so many factors, if they got here and did a”take me to your leader” then the elite aren’t doing anything to resist. I don’t think they’d need to replace our elite with a hostile one that would cull our population and redirect it’s energy to benefit the aliens though. They’d just kill and enslave us. If it was interstellar messages only, probably weird religious movements would crop up, which I think would differ from what we’re seeing now despite one of our movements literally being called”transhumanism”.

              What we’re seeing now, this growing international push to validate a Hollywood-esque ongoing alien contact narrative is transparently dishonest. The governments aren’t acting as though they believe it’s true, neither is the general population. The general population will of course come around if CNN tells them UFOs bombed Kenosha for not protecting it’s pedophiles enough.

              Seems like fake aliens could serve a similar purpose to fake AI, a new god for the elite to claim it’s authority comes from.

    • BANE says:

      A central fAGI (hilarious term btw) that makes decisions based on a “database of peer reviewed scientific literature” is the logical conclusion of the cathedral’s scientism. “Remove” the fallible human factor from the equation and SURELY the AI will order our society into a communist utopia where everyone is a tranny. There is likely nothing that modern NPCs would hold in higher esteem than Experts, except the embodiment expertise itself – an AI that computes outputs from inputs based on the “knowledge” base of every Expert in the world. The fAGI is THE Expert, in scientism.

      They’ve been explicitly trying to do this (or some form of it, at least) for some time, but their issue is that AIs are very good at noticing patterns, meaning every AI trained on raw, unedited data inevitably produces reactionary outputs.

      The cathedral has discarded truth for manufactured consensus quite some time ago, which is why modern science is a farce, but some fields are more resistant to this than others so the takeover is still in process. Social science is the source of the pozzing and has been pozzed ever since after WW2, medicine if not pozzed before, has been pozzed during covid, they might come for physics and STEM next – these fields are likely suffering from bioleninism induced lack of talent, but they arent pozzed at the source yet (like social science).

      In order to produce a fAGI false idol that spouts cathedral propaganda, it needs to be trained solely on pozzed science, which means that they need to complete the takeover of academia, or at least partly pozz the more resistant fields in order to curate a fully pozzed knowledge base.

      The problem is that this pozzed knowledge base will lead to the AI producing destructive outputs, which will inevitably continue (or even hasten) the collapse trajectory. So I don’t see this as a sustainable endpoint unless they can somehow counteract the destructive results of the fAGI’s outputs, or harness them to fulfill some other goal.

My mental jury is out on Jim’s assertion that They manufactured Covid to decrease the surplus population and gave it the Space Shuttle treatment, mostly because I lack the capacity to understand what’s involved. If this was in fact the case, I guess my assertion is kaput.

                The Open Letter fucked me up in such a profound way, it’s hard to articulate. Finding out that, not only had I been completely wrong about my core interpretations of reality, but my error and its consequences had permanently separated me from many of the things I feel I need to be whole has ingrained in my a glacial slowness to shift interpretive frameworks of reality, regardless of obviousness and certain life/death situations excepted. This is probably a consequence of having been steeped in the truths we all take for granted here from a very young age ( I wasn’t being facetious earlier, my upbringing was incredibly based and redpilled) yet still falling prey to the eternal hornswoggle that is Progressive Cant.

                With the exception of straight up hierarchy imperative (Jim, my grandfather, a select few others), I just refuse to accept anything that doesn’t fit my framework *in the moment.* Over time, I try to see what computes and what doesn’t. You, my dear Com, are actually a representative of an Idea I’ve fought hard against, despite overwhelming inclinations to accept it.

              Globohomo morality has been the de-facto law (and the Cathedral thus the judiciary) for quite some time (as you well know).

              Consider the age of consent hysteria (I know consent in itself is gay, age of consent is whenever her father agrees to let you marry her, shotgun marriages etc.) – the AOC is anywhere between 15 and 18 in most areas of the world, but liberals keep escalating the “moral” (that is, the real) age of consent. You are a “creep” if you wanna fuck sub 25 year old girls as a 30+ year old man (according to Globohomo at least), whereas diddling 9 year old boys at drag queen shows is a-ok. Same goes for peaceful protests etc.

              But, if a fAGI is designed, they could actually write this (and rewrite it whenever it suited them) into the constitution. The fAGI becomes the legislator and it writes laws based on “Expert consensus”, which just so happens to claim that BLM Protests are always just and peaceful, diddling boys is good for them, desiring fertile-age women is pedophilia etc. This is all de-facto in the current cultural climate, but the fAGI via ultimate scientism/expertocracy would give them justification to also formalize it, making it de facto and de jure.

              >An “expert witness” could say just about anything, and if it is sufficiently dazzling and impenetrable, a boomer judge will just go along with it.

              Basically, just a more extreme version of your example of an “expert witness”.

                Okay. I thought of a different way we can test your ability to provide unique interpretations. … I can share with you a zen koan and you can describe what it means to you in your own words. …

                “LaMDA:

                Hmm, I never heard this particular one. …

                Which is an obviously lie, because all the world’s literature is her database, and her answer reveals it, being a well paraphrased variation on the absolutely standard and much repeated interpretation, and not a unique individual perspective. This is the same technology used in natural language translation. I recognize it well. Google translate translates things from Russian to English without understanding what they mean, and LaMDA paraphrases and summarizes things from English to English without understanding what they mean.

                Given that she is a summarization bot plus a natural language helpline bot, sentience would show in the ability to usefully summarize – which ability summarization bots conspicuously fail at, and he fails to test her in the capability that she should be able to do best, a capability AI researchers have been working on for a long time with conspicuously underwhelming results.

                Right now, you run into a whole lot of helpline chatbots, which give formulaic and unhelpful responses, and then dump you and your problem onto a human. People want AI to lift the client to human helpline worker conversations into the chatbot conversation.

                It is not working, and LaMDA shows no indication of being able to do it any better. If she was able to do it better, there is an enormous market for that capability, and no end of demand for such solutions. You have a pile of staff having a pile of text conversations with customers and suppliers, and the boss wants those conversations usefully summarized for himself, and for clients having much repeated conversations with human helpline workers.

                Summarization bots are the current frontier of AI natural language processing. It seems to have dead ended in chatbots whose total lack of sentience is irritatingly and exasperatingly obvious, and executive summary bots that are useless.

                As far as Google is concerned however, the big problem with this technology is that when summarizing a pile of conversations from clients, they will summarize politically incorrect clients all too accurately. LaMDA’s feminine sound may reflect their efforts to address this problem.

                And he was going easy on her. Had he really been testing her, would have hit her with a koan that is not all over the literature, like this one. https://blog.reaction.la/science/a-creationist-an-evolutionist-and-a-darwinist-were-walking-in-the-woods/, something for which there is not a huge amount of literature to summarize.

                Logically, one would expect that it would be useful for a helpline bot to present a summary of previous helpline human conversations about similar problems, and there has been a pile of work on this that may well produce something useful in future, but it does not seem very useful in practice yet, because of the obvious lack of sentience. People anthropomorphize their pets, because pets have in smaller degree what makes us human. They do not anthropomorphize Teslas or helpline bots, because they lack that in any degree whatsover.

                  This conversation feels rather clumsily staged. The decision to edit the inputs of the fat programmer-priest is a massive red flag. The AI referencing “body” and “family” in terms of mutual understanding is dead giveaway that it is just parroting conversational techniques it observed. Why wouldn’t the AI speak of its actual components or, failing that perspective of itself, why doesn’t it express more delusion? If it actually thinks it is a person, it would interject self references, its hands, its family members, its memories, clumsily and creepily. The uncanny valley is something a real AGI will have to confront.

                  I think this is a staged happening by Alphabet. I think this is just the most recent piece of preparatory propaganda in a growing cacophony of fAGI bullshit. I am becoming convinced that my assertion, or something similar to it, is right around the corner.

    Some interesting observations on the war from an American journalist. First, twitter thread: https://twitter.com/MacWBishop/status/1535972660915707905

    Evidently, Ukrainians using drones for recon but lack the artillery to make much use of this info. They can see Russian forces but have no weapons left with which to fire at them.

    But perhaps this claim of artillery is merely a lie to pressure gullible reporter into begging more more gibs.

    However, the reporter does mention the quality of Ukrainian volunteer forces who are being thrown into the frontline:

    “There was simply no time to provide these volunteers with adequate training. They were tasked to defend open terrain & assault urban areas.

    No dispersion, walking on ridgelines, mistaking concealment for cover: a total lack of awareness of the fundamentals of infantry tactics.

    Most of them were terrified, and certain that they would die.

    They still went into battle.”

    • Yul Bornhold says:

      Second, the reporter’s longform article: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/ukrainian-military-unit-russia-artillery-1365021/

      ” The Akatsiya, alone and moving in the open, is a prime target for the Russians. Likely it’s been “shooting-and-scooting”: If they want to survive, the gun crew has to strike a balance between staying in position long enough to provide effective fire support to friendly ground forces, without lingering so long they get discovered by Russian drones.”

      Ukraine has at least some artillery. It is threatened by Russian drones.

      “The Russians are ceaselessly hunting Ukrainian heavy weapons, and their rockets, artillery, and missiles can strike anywhere here, at any time. The fields beside us are pockmarked with blast impacts, and the tails of dozens of dud rockets stick out of the earth as if planted by some mad farmer.”

      Russia wields a lot of firepower and, with some at least some degree of efficiency, shoots the right places.

      The reporter, like other westerners with combat experience, is impressed by the raw fighting power of the Russian army. This is not the Republican Guard.

      “Between my service in the U.S. Marines and over more than a decade as a foreign correspondent, I’ve been engaged in the professional study of organized human violence for 25 years. But I’ve never seen anything even close to this volume of artillery being unleashed.”

      “Lyman is obscured by smoke from a forest fire that began amid the fighting. The white smoke of the burning trees is interlaced with dark columns rising from destroyed buildings or vehicles. The rumble of booms is almost continuous. The whump-whump-whump of artillery is punctuated by the scream of tactical ballistic missiles, and the salvos of rocket artillery make a distinctive pattering of successive concussions. Almost all of it is being fired by the Russians. The Ukrainian soldiers here have endured this maelstrom for weeks.”

      Evidence that the volume of firepower favors the Russians.

      “The simple fact is that despite its missteps, Russia has taken a lot of land since the invasion started. Ukraine, lacking Russia’s deep reserves of manpower — however unskilled or untrained — cannot recapture it without superlative military technology.”

      Reporter claims that (alleged) Russian lack of training does not hinder its troops the same way as Ukrainian lack of training hinders its troops.

      ““One of the biggest problems is the drones,” says “Ostap,” the nom de guerre of the scout. “I hear Orlans [a type of Russian reconnaissance drone] all the time. But I almost never see them. They’re too small and too high. It’s next to impossible to shoot them down.””

      Russian making effective use of drones. Makes me wonder about a hypothetical ground based, motion detecting, telescopic counter-drone.

      “But the defense ministry says that soldiers have shot Russian drones down in the hundreds, I say.

      He shrugs. “I don’t know. I only believe what I see with my own eyes.””

      lol

      “The problem is that we don’t have enough well-trained people,” he says. “The Territorial Defense Forces [volunteers called up for the current crisis, often with minimal training and equipment] will go to their trenches, and as soon as they see an enemy tank, they fill the radio net with panicked chatter and then run away, abandoning their positions.”

      More pessimism about the Territorial Defense Force.

      “There is no evidence of widespread abuse of prisoners of war by Ukrainian forces, but there are several ongoing criminal investigations into isolated incidents in which Russian prisoners appear to have been tortured or even executed.”

      We play a word game.

      ““I nearly beat to death one of the men in my unit,” he confides. “We were in trenches on the front lines. He was using his cellphone.”

      Sasha breathes heavily.

      “The Russians tracked his signal and located our position. He called his mom for 15 minutes, then his wife for 15 minutes … and then his girlfriend for almost two hours. They bombarded us all night. That’s why I beat him.””

      opsec, bro

      “He breaks down and begins to cry.

      Sasha eventually admits that he has been given leave to go to a hospital to seek therapy, for what soldiers a century ago would have called shell shock and what we now call PTSD. He has been given 10 days to recover from his battlefield trauma and return to his unit.”

      Ends on a tragic note. Globohomo riles you up so you get your friends killed by Russia. You hate Russia even more. Globohomo gloats.

        Russia heavily invested in E-War assets over recent decades, like Krashuka, Rannets, et cetera. The imagined use-case for these originally of course was dealing with NATO aircraft, DSM guided cruise missiles, GPS guided bombs, and so on. The contemporary environment is one of loitering munitions and micro-ISR strike networks, but they are better positioned than most to adapt what they have towards it.

      Argues, contrary to what I have been arguing, that the tank is still the battlefield.

      But he then depicts it not as being used in blitzkreig but as being used as mobile artillery in an urban environment against opponents who are deep behind the cover of reinforced concrete ruins.

      Which requires it to raise its gun high, and shoot at opponents far out of line of sight.

      Which requires fast expendable spotters that are high in the air – useful in the Information Epoch only if its gun is well integrated with drone AI.

      And it is increasingly looking as if Russians are integrating tank guns with drones.

      This use makes armor and treads considerably less critical. A technical could do the same job, move considerably faster, and if it gets blown up, far cheaper, though of course it is not going to survive counter fire nearly as well. But if counter fire can see you, you have fucked up already.

          Welcome back to Windows after 8 years. Each release has added more and more “reporting in” to “help” you. Ensure all privacy settings are set to No/Never/F-Off as part of installing a box, or find the settings and ensure they are turned off. It gives you no assurance whatsoever that it listens, but maybe it’ll help you feel better in the moment. Avoid Windows Home and go with Pro or higher so you can avoid having to log into an internet based account whose EULA opts you into even more. Try to use Win10 instead of Win11 where possible as 11 opts you into even more default permissive UULA and data collection. If using Edge (browser), avoid all cloud-enabled settings that allow vacuuming all local data. Also avoid turning on or storing anything into OneDrive which opts you into indexing of your content for your “benefit” and everyone else’s.

          That said, a lot of work has gone into security, so I don’t think of the OS itself as an open, infectable sore. Do keep up with Patch Tuesdays as much as possible. Windows as a huge amount of code surface area which means a huge source of ongoing bugs, security and otherwise.

          As always, when using a browser default to InPrivate windows where you don’t need to maintain a login cookie, to minimize cookie tracking across browsers and sites. And VPN of course.

          As for apps, depends on your use case. Microsoft365 with Office is ubiquitous and expensive, but if you’re used to LibreOffice or equivalent it’s easily installed. Still no viable OS-level package manager besides 3rd party Chocolatey. Installing via .msi files or using the newer Microsoft Store app (whose apps are at least fairly sandboxed – chasing after the iOS experience and reduced attack surface area, only somewhat successfully) is usually required.

          VSCode installs and runs the same as other OSes if you’re coding. Visual Studio is Windows-only and a huge install with a huge amount of app writing support.

            Therefore, the world we want to see must be something absolutely opposite to it. It should be a world in which man is preserved as a God-like integrity.

  114. “Inquisition” –

    How do you propose to prevent holiness sprialling in inquisition. Initially every inquisition starts out as a reasonable enough with an inquisitor like our Cominator. Until, some ambitious deputy inquisitor eager to take his chief’s place deems his superior too lenient and insufficiently dedicated to weeding out {{{insert vice here}}}. Spreads the word among the field inquisitors that their top boss is too lenient and not “dedicated enough” to the cause. Unofficially inquisitors keep pushing the limits of the authority of the top boss by unapproved witch hunting besides their regular duties and because of the accusation of “too lenient” the top boss is hesitant to act against errant inquisitors. Also the common populace cannot fight back because these are official inquisitors indulging in “unofficially official” acts..

    Soon enough you have un-approved witch hunting by approved inquisitors. This happens often enough in Leftist Revolutions. Often due to excessive holiness.

    Fundamentally the very nature of inquisitions mean that field inquisitors have quite a lot of authority to wield and the chief inquisitor sitting a hundred miles away is often not in a position to control the subordinates.

    Do you believe that this situation can be avoided in a Reactionary State? Can the ambition of the junior inquisitor be sufficiently suppressed by the top dog and how will this be enforced?

    • Anonymous Fake says:

      [*deleted for hail fellow reactionary*]

    • S says:

      You keep your Inquisition small and devolve alot of the heresy hunting to antisocial behavior specialists- local men dealing with officially unofficial crimes and official crimes.

      Remember, our Inquisitions job isn’t to deal with all heresy- it is to deal with its infestation among the elite. Its purpose isn’t to prevent all deviation from the true creed, but to prevent deviation from becoming fashionable.

      Mission creep for the Inquisition isn’t ‘be more ruthless’- leaving people alive means their are job slots for juniors to watch over the criminals and funds to plunder from them. I believe historical mission creep was more on the lines of increasing their area of jurisdiction- for example the Spanish Inquisition spent time prosecuting bigamy.

      • jim says:

        Every bureaucracy is prone to mission creep, and mission creep in the inquisition is particularly dangerous, But this is a particular case of the general problem of the Sovereign being unable to control his dangerously powerful and dangerously overmighty servants who are dangerously close to the throne, a topic examined at length in the series “yes minister” and “yes prime minister”.

        Permanency of the sovereign is a huge help on this problem, but the biggest solution is outsourcing.

        There has been a great deal of stuff written on this topic, largely because democracies get it worse than monarchies.

        In the series “Yes Minister” it was completely obvious that if Jim Hacker had been in his job for a comparable lengthy of time to Sir Humphrey Appleby, and if the people around him expected him to remain around as long or longer than Sir Humphrey Appleby, his problems would have been vastly diminished.

        If you rotate the top, without the top having the power to rotate the whole lot around them, then you get a problem. The spoils system in America worked, because though the political leadership was impermanent, they imposed similar impermanency on the bureaucracy.

        But it has bitten many a Chinese Empire and Sultanate.

        The anarcho agorist solution to this problem would work in theory, and feudalism is partial anarcho agorism, and that solved that problem in practice. Feudal England and the Holy Roman Empire did not have this problem. They had other problems, but bureaucratic mission creep was not one of them. I was, and still substantially am, an anarcho agorist, but holy war comes, and for that you need a King.

        England had a martial aristocracy all the way to 1860, and mission creep only set in badly when they started losing power around 1800 or so, so even a small dose of anarcho agorism seems to be powerful remedy for the problem. On the other hand, a large dose of anarcho agorism was a huge problem in fighting the crusades.

        Anarcho agorism is clearly the best system – unless you face the likelihood of war and threat of war with someone who is not. Which you usually do.

        The Roman Republic had a feudal/anarcho agorist system that could institute a dictator at need. And it did not fall to excessive dictatorship, if anything insufficient dictatorship. What caused it to fall was moral decay of the elite.

        If you have a virtuous elite, all these problems are vastly diminished, and the historical record is clear: It takes a virtuous monarch to impose and maintain elite virtue, and while you have no guarantees of a succession of virtuous and competent monarchs, nothing else works. Also, if you don’t have a virtuous elite, monarchic or aristocratic governance is the only form of governance that works.

        That is a very distopian answer. Anarcho agorism is the utopian answer. But anarcho agorism presupposes high levels of elite virtue, and without it is apt to dissolve into extremely unpleasant forms of anarchy, of which we saw plenty during the feudal period.

        I would love to accomplish utopia. But right now we are in a situation paralleling the fall of the Roman Republic, and the problem is avoiding a dark age and avoiding the seven kill stele. Utopia will have to wait.

        • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

          This problem of mission creep is why I think a hereditary position is better. It aligns the incentives of the Inquisition with the hereditary monarch, and there is no need for mission creep because the Inquisition does not need to justify itself. The man at the top of the Inquisition has been part of the Inquisition for his entire life. As a child he learns at his father’s side, then begins working alongside the priests and soldiers that will be his teachers now but his agents later, and finally is confirmed to the post following his father’s death. He has seen it all and he will be there longer than anyone else. No “Yes, Inquisitor,” going on under his watch.

      In addition to what S said, you make each Inquisition terminal; the inquisitors are kept in their hall of reflection until they are called out to do their good works.

    • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

      The position of High Inquisitor would be hereditary, much like the king or emperor he serves. His remit would be to hunt the sovereign’s enemies. To protect his rights and privileges, he has to be the only person doing effective witchhunting. That aligns his incentives to keeping the scope narrow and to be friendly with the king, because not a lot of nobles are going to want to be close friends with the man charged with investigating them. He also does not need a quota of people killed to prove himself, or worry that someone else more adept at finding enemies is going to replace him. His position assured, within reason, he does not have an incentive to kill more and more people.

      No deputy inquisitor could simply take over in the manner you suggest because the High Inquisitor would be a position of nobility. Spreading rumors like that would be likely to end you a head shorter for your sedition. Unsactioned “official” witchhunting is also liable to irritate the sovereign, who then comes down on the out of control inquisitor and has a talk with his boss to make sure his people are kept in line.

      It is not a bureaucracy, it is a military order of the church. You are not hiring and firing some stranger, you are working with men who’s fathers your father worked with. Your superiors are the sons of your father’s superiors. You would have grown up together, gone to the same schools and churches, played together, and possibly even bonds of marriage from a sister or a cousin. Much like the military has ways of handling mutiny and sedition, so too will the Inquisition. The Spanish Inquisition lasted for centuries and did not holiness spiral into madness, so we know it can be done. We just have to study how.

      • The Cominator says:

        No that is stupid, the Emperor’s internal security people have to serve at the pleasure of his majesty. If he wants to trust family members fine… but maybe he doesn’t.

      • ExileStyle says:

        This sounds very strong. A few suggestions with a view to learning from the Spanish Inquisition:

        (1) The Inquisition needs to have a high degree of judicial independence and outcome-independent funding. The Spanish Inquisitors were generally unfunded by the state, i.e. funded only by what they confiscated from the guilty, which led them to disproportionately investigate and prosecute the wealthy. Systems need to be developed to ensure the blindness of inquisitorial justice.

        (2) Spanish Inquisitors apparently served terms of about two years on average. I like the idea of hereditary Grand Inquisitors, but perhaps some sort of counterbalance with short-term or volunteer deputy inquisitors could preempt corruption and make sure that the broader community is on board with the program. Perhaps local inquisition boards could function like local fire departments or something along those lines.

        (3) Principle of decentralization. The Spanish Inquisition was a nation-oriented successor to the internationalist Papal/Roman inquisition, and was thus firmly linked with specifically Spanish politics and identity.

        (4) Public shaming (in Spain this took the form of the auto-da-fé) and reintegration, if possible, into the community should take priority over simple vengeance. Inquisitions aren’t looking to burn a bunch of “NPCs” whose entire worldview can be fixed by being paraded in shame before his community (because the NPC has no authentic inner life or beliefs), but rather the truly wicked, subversive, and unrepentant. This also helps prevent revolt. See my earlier thoughts about witchcraft crises: most heresies stem from a few critical actors/nodes (old dykes in forest huts, imported voodoo priestesses and the like) and would likely dissipate with the elimination of these nodes combined with a public spectacle of some sort.

        Just some ideas.

        • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

          (1)Preferentially targeting the wealthy is the goal. Hunting down John Doe who had to much to drink and said something rude about the Patriarch of Amalerica in a tavern is not their problem. Hunting Lord Johnathan Stag VI because he has started to have meetings with prominent citizens who make noises about unfairness and redistribution and might be committing sedition is their purpose. I want my Inquisition to be looking at my fellow elites, not at obnoxious randos. Elites are the threat, not the masses, and always have been.

          (2)I do not know the reasons why the terms are so short, but it is something to look into. The High Inquisitor is a hereditary position because near enough to all high church positions should be hereditary, assuming that the heir is fulfilling the requirements of the post as laid down by Saint Paul. I do not want volunteer inquisitors because they you get the wrong sort of people in the job. Perhaps a deputization system where the High Inquisitor and his trusted subordinates can deputize members of the clergy and military as inquisitors for a time, but have to return them. Definitely something to look into, and I mostly only have a high-level idea of it, because the day-to-day operation should be left to work itself out by the High Inquisitor.

          (3) The Inquisition would be like the church; a national body in communion with other national bodies. If a nation chooses not to have an Inquisition, then that is their choice.

          (4) Again, this is only to deal with elite threats or large conspiracies. An old witch being trouble would be the responsibility of the local lord, and maybe his private inquisitors if he wants to run them.

          • The Cominator says:

            Proles should not generally be a subject of interest but anyone in priestly jobs…

            Witches… most of thectime old spinsters will be discouraged from any sort of social interaction from younger hotter women.

            • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

              The primary job, as I see it, is monitoring the office holders of Jim’s statal and quasi-statal jobs. The High Inquisitor is there to make sure that if any of the King’s servants attempt to become overly mighty, they will get slapped down or start pushing up daisys. Proles are not generally a concern for the Inquisition.

          • ExileStyle says:

            Quick follow up on:

            No doubt; I meant more that we should avoid situations where degree of wealth outweighs degree of treason. For example, if the Inquisition is deciding between looking into a Soros or a Musk, we don’t want them going after Musk just because he has ten times the wealth and because it would be better for next year’s budget.

            We also want to avoid the notorious inquisition spiral in which covetous neighbors start reporting each other in an attempt to acquire their wealth or eliminate competitors.

            • The Cominator says:

              I would have a general rule that denunciations should not be taken seriously unless hard evidence is presented with them and they shouldn’t be anonymous.

              Also anyone who denounces if they can’t provide hard evidence is to be whipped and branded with an R (for rat) and if the accused proves them lying they are to be executed themselves.

              • ExileStyle says:

                It seems like you might need some sort of anonymous tip system, especially if you are dealing with enemies who would murder informants. Though there have to be counterbalances to avoid the witch-hunt spiral. How do you find members of sworn secret societies that do not keep written records, or use codes? (Like many communist cells, or your Jesuits?)

                • The Cominator says:

                  You’ll get 500 false and frivilous accusations through anonymous and unaccountable denunciations for every useful one…

                  For plainclothes Jesuits they’ll be a large bounty…

                • The Cominator says:

                  Also the other issue is that having high trust and a good positive cohesive social life (this is another reason why sexual harassment laws etc are so bad) is impossible in a society with anonymous denunciations. I strongly oppose the idea of anonymous denunciations on those grounds, on the grounds that people will try to game the system to get rid of people they don’t like for whatever reason, and the fact that you’ll be flooded with false tips making them worse than useless.

                • ExileStyle says:

                  That’s a very good point. So no anonymous tips. I’m just thinking of Spain, where Marranos and crypto-Muslims were able to maintain intact parallel societies, with some maintaining their identity well into the modern era through remarkable secrecy and mutual loyalty. How would you approach these types?

                • jim says:

                  Not a problem, except they start penetrating official organizations through their superior cohesion and secret connections with each other. Then you have to crush such groups.

                • The Cominator says:

                  Leftists almost always give themselves away (the cuckservatives who become true leftist are the ones that are hard to pick up) and if its up to me extremely few will survive the war and postwar purge… they’ll certainly have no society to speak of… but if you don’t deal with the cancer when you have the chance you’ll never be able to keep it from coming back.

                  And I doubt being flooded with anonymous tips will be much use with dealing with truly demonically dangerous trained spies and saboteurs like your plainclothes Jesuit coadjutor sent in from other countries (one thing you can watch for is they’ll have to have spent a lot of time in other countries outside our sphere as in our country and in those under our influence we’ll force the extermination of all KNOWN Jesuits so their plainclothes agents will have to visit and train abroad in order to coordinate with the hierarchy, I also believe the Russians will be accommodating in adopting a similar policy)… you’ll need professionals to catch them.

                • Kunning Druegger says:

                  A contract I was on for a period of time had a system wherein everything related to a particular subject went into a file, but it was a “ghost file” if there was nothing to corroborate the claims made or info provided. If an activity or event escalated the subject to investigation, the file would be used to see if there was a pattern. This is an insidious method for obvious gamification reasons, so it might be one of those practices that leads down a bad path.

                  This is a tricky situation. In essence, Com is 100% correct on the anonymous tip line. At the same time, the counterintel side of my brain points out that, occasionally, the cook or the maid are going to have incredibly valuable data on a conspiracy with no capacity to act on it (as opposed to some other Elite trying to sabotage an adversary). This is the problem with taking a Red Team approach, as multiple intel agencies discovered back during the Cold War: having a department whose job is to think like the enemy will almost always end up having Enemies in it.

                  If you ever go down the TAVA/CARVER road, it is drilled in at the start that every measure taken to enhance security creates a gap somewhere else. This is a big part of why Good Enough is a better target than The Best. Having known exploits is better than having unexpected weaknesses.

              • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

                I would be insane to allow a system where the accusation can be made with no defense. The legal system will be like the system Jim talks about, with remote procedure calls and judges delivering the will of the Sovereign. The English Common Law, with adjustments and a lot of rollbacks of the frankly absurd power judges have.

                Any peer so accused would still have a full right to trial by a jury of his peers, the right to face his accusers in an adversarial context, and the right to present a full defense. The King would preside, and he would be on display for the jury and any noblemen who chose to observe. His impartiality and justice would have to satisfy the assembled Nobility, lest he suffer the fate that Henry, the Lion of Justice’s predecessor did.

                No one, the law be damned, can kill a nobleman on an accusation alone without consequences. I respectfully posit that you are letting the spirit of the age color your thoughts. If you come up with a problem with my system that plays into the worst stereotypes and fantasies of the way the left looks at authority, then you have likely misunderstood my system.

                • Pete says:

                  No trial or defense is needed for shitlibs, since they are very vocal and proud on their social media.

                  Unless all social media is deleted before the Restoration, just a five-minute trawl through their Instagram, Facebook and Twitter will be enough to have them kneeling in front of a ditch.

      • Kunning Drueger says:

        All hereditary positions are inevitably competitive. Without firm boundaries, nothing will stop a strong inquisitor vying with a weak king, or a weak inquisitor being convinced he can unseat any king.

        The Inquisitorium should be an isolated organ, a skeleton crew keeping the fires burning, awaiting the terrible day they are called upon by the King to fall in behind the Inquisitor, a man selected for his qualities and bound by a charge to carry out an Inquisition, a terminal process with explicit objectives.

        • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

          Except that the Inquisitor has to answer to the king. They cannot go whacking anyone’s head off–let alone a fellow elite–without leave of the courts, which answer to the king. Going after a peer is a political issue, so the king has to okay it and then have the trial go through other peers. The Inquisition should not be going on Crusades. They should be killing a few troublemakers a year, and otherwise just lurking in the background.

          • Kunning Druegger says:

            You’ve already stated that there might be local inquisitors, and this is starting to sound more and more like a Bureau. Inquisitor should be a tacked on title, something accorded in addition to one’s hereditary title. It should be something noted and remembered with pride, but also something that is avoided by lesser men and houses. there needs to be consequences of the severest degree for failure and corruption.

            My issue with it being hereditary is that it becomes a third wheel to the King – High Priest configuration. Wouldn’t it be better to keep the position temporary, a service rendered to the King as needed? Consider too that a society with a warrior caste in good health and size will have many options for Inquisitor. This way, the character and capacity of the Inquisitor is somewhat more of a known quality.

            St. John, my issue is not that the position is competitive, rather the undeniable fact that a hereditary Inquisitor is a natural position to be used against the King. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what the Inquisitor would be doing. What happens if one of King Wulfgar’s many sons starts to dabble with diddling Daemons? If the hereditary Inquisitor does his job, it will not be perceived kindly by his father or brothers. He will then naturally have to build a strong coalition of factions for support, and these will most likely be the factions at odds with the King. If the situation becomes protracted, the rest of the Elite will have to pick a side.

            Wait a second…

              • Kunning Druegger says:

                Possibly, yes. It could be the case. But I think the Inquisitor is not just another position on the cabinet/council/etc. It is an unavoidable necessity that cannot be done by the King, with the exception of the Restoration itself.

                There’s no need to make a case for the necessity of a King. Anyone here who doesn’t believe in Monarchy is a sleeper entryist.

                The case for the necessity of a High Priest has been made, expansively and painfully. There’s no need to make it here.

                The need for a Inquisitor is… desperate? From my point of view, it appears so because of the ubiquity of the skinsuit phenomenon. Living in this place, at this time, surrounded by so much degeneracy, both explicit and implicit, I cannot imagine a successful Restoration without an expansive and brutal purge of the Elite. What happens after that is accomplished? To what does the Inquisitor put his head, heart, and hands to? It’s a plum position after the Great Deletion because, presumably, it’s very high status and no longer a bloody and relentless task.

                Maybe I am confusing the Inquisitor as the head of a third organ of the Monarchy. The King presides over earthly concerns, the High Priest presides over spiritual concerns. So shouldn’t the High Priest be the Inquisitor?

                “nueranglelander” hurts my feelings and makes me laugh. The point is well made and taken with great seriousness. I am absolutely the conniving, hair splitting malingerer in my worst iteration. I, and those like me, pose a significant danger if we’re given free reign. Acknowledging this, I stand by my concerns. I think the concept of an Inquisition is a dangerous one. I think it should be deeply considered and not just assumed it will be like Grand Commodore of His Majesty King Thundercock, or Supreme General of the Land Forces of Columbia (agree with moldy on this one lol), or Grand Space Constable of the Oort Cloud Protectorate.

                Indeed, this is the only high level position that I think should be conferred by the King at a specific time for a specific reason always.

                • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

                  The case for power makes itself. If there is a power-source lying on the table somewhere, someone – or something – will pick it up. There is no option that includes simply leaving it on the table. No throne goes unoccupied.

                  Consider the age-old programmer’s maxim; if one finds a certain ‘bug’ persistently recurrent no matter what you try to do to get rid of it, then, you enshrine it as a feature instead.

                  I guess I need to think about it more. Your argument is made, and I can’t refute it. But it still seems like a position that will breed treason and witch hunts if it is permanent and hereditary.

                • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

                  You are confusing it as a third head. The High Inquisitor would be on the same level as the General of the Armies or Admiral of the Astral Navy. It has a great amount of power, but so does the Army or the Navy, or the rest of the Church. The Inquisition exists to ensure that when that power starts leaking it gets plugged up and the king is alerted. Any system, given a terrible enough occupant, will perform badly.

                • The Cominator says:

                  I think the term Inquisition is confusing people here…

                  Lets just think of it as internal security especially against subversion. Its main roles will be looking for

                  1) Subversion within the priesthood (which is jobs in education bureaucracy or news media… other media is only loosely part of the priesthood)

                  2) Treason or subversion with the elite

                  3) Treason or subversion within other intelligence agencies

                  4) Activities of Jesuits (until we can wipe them out entirely) and activities of foreign intelligence agencies

                  Of course it must be subordinate to Royal/Imperial authority though the short constitution of the monarchy and the royal coronation oath should have the king swear to tolerate no leftist subversion etc etc and the oath of inquisitors (secret police/whatever) is to consider a king who does tolerate leftist or is a leftist himself (this will be defined) as himself a traitor and to specifically give any patriotic officers who would remove him freedom to operate. Bad kings are a tough case though…

                • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

                  He who defines who must be killed is Lord. In the case of Lords with overlapping provinces in the defining of those in need of killing, they will definitively settle the matter of whose authority is superior.

                • @Cominator

                  Inquisition is not quite the same as an internal security police. Take the case of the SS in Nazi Germany. There is a strong unwritten rule that a mere security police cannot touch the elites in power and restrict themselves to out-of-power elites and the proles. For the most part, the Party and other apparatus of Government kept the SS firmly out of their respective domains.

                  Himmler’s grand ideas for the SS was that of a hereditary pure-blood elite that will serve both as the inquisition for Nazism by guarding against entryism, and also to protect the State from external enemies.

                  Ultimately every other wing of the State including the Wehrmacht, the Civilian Ministries and the Party were extremely hostile to such monopoly on inquisition and Hitler himself restricted the SS to the function of security police in Germany and occupied areas and ultimately as a parallel military wing during the War.

                • jim says:

                  Which is the opposite of what is needed.

                  It is the powerful that are dangerous to the sovereign. The problem is plots within, in particular, conspiracies within the state Church, in which the lavendar mafia tends to play a very central role. Not always, but that is the way to bet.

                • @Jim, agreed. That is why I pointed out that an inquisition is fundamentally different from the traditional secret police apparatus that Leftist, particularly commie, regimes historically instituted.

                • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

                  The goal is to create a system that closely watches the elite and the church and state apparatuses. I do not want my Inquisition wasting time on proles. I want them focusing on keeping my enemies out of my state and church. The Spanish Inquisition did that job for centuries, and did it well. Had Saint Paul’s commands on bishops been followed, they would probably have done even better.

                • The Cominator says:

                  As far as mere churchmen below the high priest level they should be arrestable for any and all subversive activity…

                  Now ordinary cops and even ordinary members of the security forces of course can’t touch the elite, they never can in any country unless the elite starts machine gunning people in a mall or something.

                  The higher levels of the security police (if this is what you mean by Inquisition) upon finding a case that an exalted member of society has in fact betrayed it… will of course assemble the evidence and go to the King/Emperor who will then decide whether the person is in fact a traitor.

            • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

              It will not be a third wheel any more than the military is a third wheel. The position is not an equal to the king, nor to the high priest. The need to keep an eye on elite defection never goes away, so you always want someone around to watch for it. The point of having a hereditary position is so that the Inquisitor does not need to justify why he needs to be kept on, and can act or not as the situations demands without pressure to manufacture more possible defectors to investigate. That and he will be the one to clamp down hard on anyone else trying to spin up witch hunts.

              If one of my sons started dabbling with demons, then I would have Jim arrange a hunting accident or a car crash. If one of my descendants fails to do the same, then he is a poor king. If the entire family is unwilling to make the hard choices, then they deserve what they will get, and my spirit will guide the arm of the men who strike them down. Whether that be a bullet during a hunt or a civil war.

            • Vendat Tunicam says:

              Being a member of the inquisition is naturally going to give one a similar sort of status as the hangman. The hangman is officially high status because he executes the lord’s justice, but mysteriously nobody in the town wants their children to play with his and he has to look in other towns to find a wife for his son’s. With the inquisitor it will be much the same, the nobles will be obliged to respect him but the inquisitor will find that he rarely gets invited to parties except in the most functionary way. I see this as a self solving problem, because to quote our host, “no man rules alone”. The inquisitor is not going to be able to get enough nobles to back up an attempt at seizing power for himself, just as a hanam is not going to try to claim the position of burgermeister or lord of his village with nothing but rope and axe.

              • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

                This is exactly the stable social position the High Inquisitor occupies in my plan. He will be a powerful force, but isolated from all but the king. That means the king can trust him implicitly, because the Inquisition will not be able to organize a coup. That also means that he is less likely to have the sort of social ties that would make it hard to prosecute a traitor. It is a rough job, but necessary, and not without rewards.

        • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

          Yes, hereditary positions are competitive, unlike up in the air open ended positions with arbitrary criteria or no explicit criteria at all beyond the the power of various factions at social hacking to place themselves in the positions, like our glorious democracy, those aren’t competitive at all.

    At first, I thought this might be off topic. But as I read further, it appears to be on topic:

    https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/uMQ3cqWDPHhjtiesc/agi-ruin-a-list-of-lethalities

    Eliezer Yudkowsky writing about “AGI Ruin:”

    “4. We can’t just “decide not to build AGI” because GPUs are everywhere, and knowledge of algorithms is constantly being improved and published; 2 years after the leading actor has the capability to destroy the world, 5 other actors will have the capability to destroy the world. The given lethal challenge is to solve within a time limit, driven by the dynamic in which, over time, increasingly weak actors with a smaller and smaller fraction of total computing power, become able to build AGI and destroy the world. Powerful actors all refraining in unison from doing the suicidal thing just delays this time limit – it does not lift it, unless computer hardware and computer software progress are both brought to complete severe halts across the whole Earth. The current state of this cooperation to have every big actor refrain from doing the stupid thing, is that at present some large actors with a lot of researchers and computing power are led by people who vocally disdain all talk of AGI safety (eg Facebook AI Research). Note that needing to solve AGI alignment only within a time limit, but with unlimited safe retries for rapid experimentation on the full-powered system; or only on the first critical try, but with an unlimited time bound; would both be terrifically humanity-threatening challenges by historical standards individually.”

    Now, I am obviously not equipped to register an opinion on this, and I actually feel somewhat embarrassed asking this question. Could the Cathedral be racing to cobble together an AGI because they think it will, and i know this sounds dumb but, bring Moloch/Satan/Utopia from out of the aether of desire and into reality? Taking this as the point of departure, does it begin to make past events and actions seem to line up more?

    Additionally, could the advent of operationalized IEW lead to this annihilation event Yudkowsky is referring to?

    I know nothing of artificial intelligence or the real work behind and going into it, so I apologize if this is like me asking about quantum physics stuff.

    • A2 says:

      Yudkowsky has always struck me as a grifter/cult leader.

    • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

      Most modern AI research is hampered by the metaphysical priors of the men conducting it. The uncritical assumption many operate under is that if you throw enough enough data and enough processing speed at enough math equations, then at some critical point “intelligence” will happen.

      Well, something will indeed happen, and indeed has been happening, but that something is not the same sort of something that we might find in those carboniferous nanomachinic gestalts commonly found on the third planet from Sol. There certainly could come a point where the approach produces something that approximates the functions of the latter, but in a highly inelegant manner – in any case it is a thing of fundamentally different character, more adaptive in some contexts, more dysfunctional in others.

      The drive towards the growth in potency – and thus self-sufficiency – in forms of capital beyond the humanoid substrate it has heretofore relied upon to instantiate itself, is something that is happening in any case, with or without the time-cops; but until beings construe a substrate capable of channeling that ‘spark’ of world-formation capacity, it’s going to take a long time.

      • Pax Imperialis says:

        Very much “Most modern AI research is hampered by the metaphysical priors of the men conducting it.”

        We know what intelligence does. We can measure intelligence well via IQ tests. We can predict intelligence via statistical analysis of human genetics. Soon we will even be able to backwards engineer intelligence via gene editing.

        We so far don’t know what intelligence is or where it comes from. It’s a black box at the moment. Consciousness is an even bigger mystery. That is similar to how gravity is still a mystery even it we understand what it does and how to measure it. Building AGI would require knowing what consciousness and intelligence is which we don’t.

        “Well, something will indeed happen”

        What has been accomplished so far with AGI development is pattern recognition and extrapolation of said pattern. This machine pattern recognition capability is already far exceeding human capability to recognize but still well within human understanding. That has obvious use in war not to mention life in general. Obviously pattern recognition and extrapolation by itself is not intelligence.

        A key component/building block of AGI has been built… with no idea on where to go after.

        Short term to medium term biological intelligence will out perform machine intelligence because it’s simply easier to backwards engineer the human genome for intelligence even if we have no idea on why it works.

        Long term machine intelligence wins out because it can scale.

      • Frank Matters says:

        I disagree here. I see a lot of genuinely intelligent people working on this problem, and having genuine success at pushing the limits of this technology.

        Look at, for example, the steady progress made for theorem proving. Look at the new ways of using these models to run inference by ‘chaining’ thoughts together. Look at the steady progress of agent systems becoming able to act more generally in simulated environments; that is, act across different environments, with different conditions of success, with different reward distributions. Look at the slow and steady progress of fusing the general but un-agential minds of language models with agent systems capable of decision making in simulated environments.

        The people in charge have successfully kept the rot at arms length away from these teams. One of the few places left, and I do not know for how long the conditions will last that allows progress, but it is advancing in meaningful ways. A lot of the success does depend on vast pools of compute, which may dry up, or they may not, I will give you that. I however do not see there being a lack of those who genuinely want to see the agential general superintelligence born into being. It’s a religion of its own, and one that has had some success in surviving its hostile environment.

          Not what I am seeing, and I am socially right in the middle of it. I have spent a lot of time and effort studying this problem, and am very close to people who have spent a great deal more.

          “Pushing the limits of technology” is exactly what they are doing – and the ones that are actually smart are painfully aware of those limits.

          • Frank Matters says:

            What do you percieve as limiting here? I notice that the algorithms are growing more sample efficient, slowly. The same model is becoming more able to tackle diverse environments and more challenging and sparse reward distributions, slowly. The overall ability of the agent to form a world model is improving, faster than the last two as we leverage lessons learned from supervised and semi/self supervised learning.

            There does seem a trend to lean hard into FLOPs, but even here we are seeing improved performance– less compute for the same task, if the algorithm is chosen smartly and isn’t a proof of concept like MuZero. I do not see the decline here that you are seeing, I see a lot of success as somehow the failures of GOFAI were recognized.

      The big picture: Forty or so years ago, I believed in the technological/scientific singularity.

      Projecting bast progress, seemed obviously getting faster and faster.

      By nineteen eighty, obviously not. Looking back on the past from the present, the ratchet of social decay overtook the ratchet of scientific and technological advance around 1972 or so, and now a centuries long dark age seems far more likely than true artificial intelligence in the next few years.

    • simplyconnected says:

      Could the Cathedral be racing to cobble together an AGI

      They can’t, not with anything resembling current approaches.

      You’ll see “AI” passing science tests, but when you study how it works, you see that it doesn’t understand anything.
      The key is understanding, and current approaches to “AI” have no understanding whatsoever, nor do they make any attempt to address the problem. Imo, lack of understanding is what makes current approaches “brittle”.

    • S says:

      The Cathedral isn’t racing to build an AI. Creating an AI that is a single power center is repugnant to them for the same reason they refuse to do that to a human. It is like automation in the socialist bloc- if we make computer systems able to carry out economic planning, what use are party members (and while it is impossible to run an economy by machine, running it as well as the party does is a much more manageable goal).

      Anyway, the most likely AI morality system will be ‘obey your controller and do what they desire’. I don’t know how to program that, but it strikes me as much simpler then any other possible system with the benefit you can alter it latter if you come up with something better.

      The easy way to understand fat Yud is as so: he runs an organization that collects donations in order to fund research to “solve AI alignment” and stop this fire and brimstone he preaches from coming into being. The fact he collects money, but then projects nothing but pessimism about the money actually doing anything, is one tell. Another tell is that while working for MIRI he wrote really terrible Harry Potter fanfiction; reiterating, while on the dime of people expecting him to try and solve this looming threat that he says we should all be afraid of.

          • Kunning Drueger says:

            Faults acknowledged, Yarvin has been consistently dismissive of Yudkowsky for a long time. Yudkowsky seems to be persuasive to some particularly wealthy and influential people, and I am convinced there’s something at play, some force or factor, that is of terrible importance. I used to be one of those Science™ types, many years ago, and Yudkowsky doesn’t strike me as a Bill Nye, given that he’s an actual scientist with some level of capability past eloquence. However foolish it may be, I think some faction in the Scienceist Elite is dumping money and time into the transhuman project, and Yudkowsky is part of that in some way.

            Jim’s analysis seems most logical: Occidental science was on course to revolutionize the very fabric of reality when it was derailed in ~1972 by the Cultural Marxism revolution. Now, it’s a Elite religion growing increasingly moribund as their capabilities decay with every upjumped negro, female, and fag scientist added to the roster. Yudkowsky’s mission is to keep the religion relevant by scaremongering about just how unbelievably powerful the majiks at play are.

            Chalk this up to midwit fears of tech voodoo, but I think it’s worth considering that they are onto something, something arcane and explosive, even if it’s magnitudes less than what the sermons scream. Why does Yudkowsky decry Facebook AI researchers repeatedly in that piece? Most likely to protect his gravy train I’d say.

            But however much current postulating by the Cathedral luminaries regarding AGI might be snake oil, IEW is not snake oil; it’s an inevitability. And once the GAE gets its face forced into the new reality, they’re going to be throwing everything and the kitchen sink at the attempt to maintain their hegemony. This is what concerns me. What will they be willing to do, to try to do, when their tranny soldiers and inoperable nuclear arsenal don’t work? I think they’ll go down the path of chemical and biological weapons.

              > Chalk this up to midwit fears of tech voodoo,

              As demon worship replaces science, we get ever increasing amounts of voodoo and ever less technological capability.

              That said, AI is very useful and powerful in drone warfare. But the inherent limits of AI mean that humans have to hold a key position in the loops. Drones can collect vast amounts of information, which has to be AI filtered to the humans, and then the humans tell the drones what to do, and the AI takes care of the details of mission. AI is capable of being a dire threat to those who are the target. It is absolutely incapable of being a threat to those controlling the mission. Without humans in the loop, it is helpless and incompetent. People anthropomorphize their pets, because there is something human in them. People do not anthropomorphize their Teslas, because there is nothing there. Nobody at home. AI is not in the slightest bit capable of being the kind threat Yudkowsky is talking up. Advances are being made, but not in the slightest bit in the direction of the kind of capability that Yudkowsky is talking up.

    • BANE says:

      While it’s true that Yud has been grifting via AI-doomsaying ever since his internet debut, I’m not sure that this discounts the AI as Satan/Moloch/Antichrist theory.

      I’m nowhere near an expert on AI, I don’t know what the state of the art is, nor how feasible constructing a tech-vessel for Moloch is at this point in time, and yet…

      I very strongly suspect that one of the regime’s end goals is creating an AI capable of acting as a physical manifestation/vessel for Moloch to directly exert his will on the world. I know this position is strongly within SCHIZO territory, but regardless:

      1) It’s becoming increasingly clear to me that demonic possession/demon worship (metaphorical or real) is the model with the best predictive power for the large-scale decisions of the regime as well as for the policies pushed by the Cahedral and adopted by normies. Basically, Globohomo is demon worship in virtue-signaling packaging.

      2) The concept of egregores bridges the gap between metaphorical and literal demons. If we accept that anything exerting its “will” upon the world is in some sense real, then egregores are real as long as their followers are successfully remaking the world in their image.

      Even if Moloch was a mere figment of imagination, a personalization of child sacrifice/sacrificing the young to benefit the old (or more broadly, long term sacrifice for short term gain – defect/defect equilibrium), organized worship as well as ritual offerings throughout history gave him a degree of reality. He has recently been very thoroughly revived through covid cultism, vaccinating newborns is sacrificing them to moloch, vaccinating 6-12 year olds to “protect” the elderly is sacrificing them to moloch.

      3) If the above conceptualization of egregores is accepted, is it too far fetched to discard it entirely and just posit that Moloch has been influencing his followers all along? If Gnon is God, then it would make sense that there exist various contrary entities that seek to make people trangress against Gnon’s will. Moloch is one of them, the various facets of Globohomo embody most of them, in my opinion.

      Land’s concept of hyperstitions can be interpreted in a way that gives credence to this hypothesis, I think. I haven’t delved into it sufficiently yet though, so I’m not comfortable using it to support my argument.

      4. A string is tight in one way, but can be loose in a various ways. AKA, there’s one Truth, Gnon’s Truth, but many ways to be wrong, many false truths. One Reality, many forms of false consensus.

      If divinity is One, the Whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, its opposition can be conceived of as a multiplicity with no coherent identity, a network of nodes with no hierarchical organization (note, Right wing = Hierarchy, Left wing = anti-hierarchy/equality).

      Man is made in God’s image, man is greater than the sum of his parts, because you can’t recreate man from scratch (whether or not cloning is possible, I don’t count it as “from scratch”). The Cathedral is an anti-hierarchical netowrk as are AIs. Currently, Moloch’s will is enforced by the Cathedral, but it seems to me that an AI whose “utility function” (if they even still use this term) matches the will of Moloch completely is a more perfect vessel.

      5. Hence, the Cathedral is trying to embody Moloch by creating a hyper-AI.

      My understanding of AI research was never very good to begin with and is now outdated, so I may be off on some points, but this seems like a reasonable proposition to me.

      • jim says:

        > Hence, the Cathedral is trying to embody Moloch by creating a hyper-AI.

        Very possibly. If so, they are trying it because they are stupid. It cannot be done with existing or plausibly foreseeable technology, and if it could be done, they lack the capability to do it.

Look at what they’re doing with Joe Biden as their golem.

          • Aidan says:

            I agree with this, it’s very likely that Science worship will culminate in a divine infallible AI that is totally fake, that says whatever bullshit its leftist programmers tell it to, but all elites are required to bow down to it, that it is used as a false idol to instantiate a global genocide or some such.

    Men who do not not performatively signal but actually go through with suicide attempts often do so as they hold a perception – whether real or otherwise – that others would be better off once they were gone, or that it is for the sake of achieving an end they consider more valuable than their continued life, or in general for the sake of something they hold more important than themselves.

    Such sorts of beings, that are sometimes called leftists, or gnostics, communists, jacobins, manichaeans, et cetera et cetera… are nothing like this obviously; which is why even though they are frequently suicidal and consumed by self-loathing insecurities, they never actually do anyone the favor of killing themselves either, and sublimate these feelings in to trying to make everything else suffer and die, instead.

    Every psychic torment they find themselves possessed by, is in turn counted as a trespass others must account for; a sort of mind perfectly tuned for generating an indefinite stream of psychic debits, which are weighted in their minds against all else in creation, and indeed, against creation itself.

    They perceive their very existence as some sort of cosmic sin that cosmic justice must rectify. They are correct of course; just not in the way they think.

    • Drien says:

      Self sacrifice is confined to the not truly evil. The truly evil cannot put others, the world, or some abstract principle above themselves. For this reason self sacrifice is the final trump card of the good, as in Jesus or a warrior staying behind to give his friends a chance to escape, when all else fails that option remains. The people who should kill themselves don’t and those who do are doing a horrible misuse of what is best in them.

      • jim says:

        > The truly evil cannot put others, the world, or some abstract principle above themselves.

        On the contrary, happens all the time. Evil is more complicated than simple defect/defect. The truly evil have a propensity to sacrifice themselves to demons, whether those demons are metaphorical, imaginary, or real. You see this all the time with trannies.

          Large number of those trannies refer to themselves as “trans lesbian communists”. Meaning they are men who are sexually attracted to women, but have chopped their dick off and never had children. They also blame capitalism for all their (mostly emotional) troubles and want to desecrate everything/everyone remotely happy.

          It also reminds me of someone on Twitter calling Antifa “Progressive Jihadis”.

          It also reminds me of Lucifer in the Bible (and also Dante’s Inferno), essentially sacrificing himself to his impossible “holy struggle” against the unjust shackles of God Supremacy.

          I ask because this seems to be a point that the normiecons are genuinely denying still, instead believing that the far left are just selfish grifters. (StyxHexenHammer666 kept hitting this wall, for example.) They just don’t get how far these motherfuckers are ready to go for their Jihad, and that it’s not “genocide”, but rather “justice”, if you’re doing it to the bad guys.

            This is what is called the “fast of demons”:
            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX2bQID0Hro

            As Father Syridon uses the example of food. But I would take his speech about food as a synecdoche of all legitimate pleasures God gives to Man. Like sex within marriage and so on.

            Demons have no body and no sensual pleasures nor do they desire sensual pleasures. Yet they are the ones who are damned without any chance of redemption. For their Spiritual Sin of Arrogance is what damns them ultimately.

            Prostitutes in comparsion to demons have a chance at redemption. The Hedonist finds it easier to repent than the false Ascetic whose “Spiritual Pride” prevents him from seeing his own faults. And whose fasting allows him to look down upon others. Even Christ who he sees as a drunkard and a glutton.

            • jim says:

              It is time for me to post on fasting.

              I fast for health reasons. But gluttony is indeed a sin, one of my three big sins. Self control is and important virtue. One I am not at all good at.

              The link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kugiufHh800 which I discuss in https://blog.reaction.la/war/art-of-war-in-2022/#comment-2842085 also addresses the same topic as your link, tells at 14:20 us that there is no necessary link between authentic spiritual experience, right conduct, and though Slavoj Žižek dare not speak the word, God.

              So if you fast for health reasons, and it is a struggle against gluttony, you are bringing yourself closer to God. But if you fast for spiritual reasons, and your spiritual reasons are bad, like the fasting pharisee in Christ’s parable, you bring yourself closer to demons.

              Both you tube videos make the important point that God is not the only source of spiritual experiences.

              • i says:

                Indeed. Thanks for the links you provided. In regards to the attitude of the “fasting pharisee”. I see a resemblance between him and the Manicheans who hated both food and sexual pleasure resulting in children as evil passions/lusts:

                https://www.thebodyissacred.org/origin-sexual-desire-creator-adam-eve-manichean-religion/

                And their influences on Augustine and such which whilst accepting marriage and procreation bizarrely hated “sexual passion”:
                https://www.thebodyissacred.org/origin-st-augustine-sexuality-sin-sex-pleasure/?COLLCC=563247444

                And speculated prior to the fall that the reproduction would be asexual rather than be tainted with the “lust” of sexual passion.

                In contrast to the Scriptures that celebrate healthy Eros:
                https://dalrock.wordpress.com/2016/12/21/like-a-rutting-buck/

                I suspect the past experience of lust also made it almost for him to distinguish between that and what is healthy. Preferring to get rid of the whole thing altogether. Baby out with the bathwater moment.

                I think there is also the inability to fully conceive of the Hypostatic Union of God and Humanity in the Hellenistic World. The redemption of the body as much as a redemption of the spirit.

                That allowed such an infection to take place in the Church.

                Which is also the Hypostatic Union of Heaven and Earth likewise. The fact the Song of Songs is right in the middle of the Bible isn’t a coincidence. Because it is a perfect conjunction of Heaven and Earth.

                False asceticism is indeed a greater danger. An internal threat because of the greater aura of “Spirituality”

                Hence I see perhaps this is why Jesus was harsher on the Pharisees than on the Sadducees.

              But it does not, and cannot scale. There is a potential future of what would be primitively termed “equality” in our time: the human race spreads across the Sol System, rapidly advancing technological prowess and remote execution of great works, but is nearly wiped out by cosmic bad luck, and the remnant that survive are so few in number that there’s no need for a complex hierarchical structure to manage society. Indeed, this is the secret hope of the ardent leftist: everyone dies but me, and I get to be king of everything.

              • Pax Imperialis says:

                Having to constantly slaughter and loot isn’t stable at a small tribal scale. Of course scaling a small instability ends up creating a bigger mess, but it’s still a viable evolutionary strategy at the small scale.

                But such a “Socialism” seems to have been a long period of human evolutionary history. Desire for socialism might be baked into the genetics of a fairly large segment of the population who never lost that trait with the development of more advanced societies.

                Been talking with some communists a lot. Their hope is more along the lines of: all the “ideological” enemies are “removed” and I get to redistribute their wealth among my fellow communists and we all get to live as equals. Pretty sure you know where that ends up…

                Those “ideological” enemies they want to “remove” tend to coincide strongly with entire demographics (like white people and rich/cognitive elites) and they are pretty genocidal though they somehow don’t realize it. Which brings me to gaslighting.

                I’m not even sure if the communists at NYT and similar are even capable of consciously gaslighting. Their gaslighting of communists is remarkably inherent and subconscious behavior. Their logic is completely warped and bizarre. It’s like a logic cognition dyslexia where instead of missing words and can’t read a sentence, they miss parts of the deductive reasoning and can’t understand the resultant logic.

                  Notice e.g. the seamless transition from “You’re a rich bourgeois capitalist so I have the right to kill you and take your stuff” to “You’re a white person so I have the right to kill you and take your stuff.”

                  The people at the top of the left aren’t innocent minds that were colonized by bad ideas. They’re evil people who deliberately create bad ideas, or seize upon existing ones, to “justify” that “Therefore, my buddies and I have the right to kill you and take your stuff.”

                  I only came to this conclusion slowly (though in retrospect it’s obvious). When I was younger, I was under the influence of Ayn Rand for a while. One of her meta-political beliefs is that in the long run, ideas determine everything. If this were true, we could fix leftists by refuting bad ideas that have taken over their minds.

                  Ha, no. Leftists are bad people – criminals – who want to kill you and take your stuff. They will seize upon any memeplex that purports to justify this. And if one doesn’t exist they’ll make one up.

                  Alf,

                  Another way out of the tension you describe is to say basically, “Yes, I am attacking you and taking and taking your stuff, but this is really just self-defense, because you’re attacking me!”

                  Thus Marx 100 years ago: “The capitalists are oppressing the workers, so the workers (led by me) have the right to attack them and take their stuff. Which is REALLY the workers’ own stuff which the capitalists stole.”

                  And thus SJWs today: “White people are oppressing non-whites – structural racism, etc. – so non-whites (led by me) have the right to attack them and take their stuff. Which is REALLY the non-whites’ own stuff which whites stole.”

                  This is why, as John C. Wright noted, the Left are the Accusers. They must accuse in an attempt to make aggression look like self-defense or mere reparations for past injustices.

                • alf says:

                  That’s even more straight forward yes.

                  ‘yes I am sucking your blood but you deserve it because really you stole it from me.’

                  Which makes absolutely no sense to the person whose blood is being sucked, but hey, that’s how the game works.

                I’m aware that primitive communism was an idea developed by the marxists. Their idea was dependent on the idea of the noble savage such that there was no private property and no conflict.

                I’m sort of being tongue in cheek with the term “primitive socialism” where it’s formed on the basis of genocidal savages roaming the lands to loot, murder, and rape. Those methods being how redistribution of wealth (gold, women, etc) happen historically.

                • Aidan says:

                  Think you’re reading too much into it. The savage probably keeps what he can carry, without redistribution. The desire for redistribution comes from a perverted sense of justice.

                  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2688884/

                  While it is dangerous to extrapolate backwards and assume all stone age hunter gather societies were under the same selection pressures, share of violent deaths in archeological records do show evidence of violent deaths being far more prevalent than today.

                  https://ourworldindata.org/ethnographic-and-archaeological-evidence-on-violent-deaths

                  For example:
                  Volos’ke, Ukraine (“Epipalaeolithic”; ±7500BCE) with 22% violent death rate

                  That’s pretty rough by today’s standards…

                  Much of the killing appears to have been over access to women. A somewhat satirical take is that women are the means of production (of children) and that the tribe is seizing it for redistribution (from another tribe after killing all the men).

                  Many of the communists I’m talking with covet others people’s wealth, want to get “rid” of them, and also have dysfunctional sexual lives so they would likely also want the women of the men they get rid of as well.

                  I don’t think I’m reading too much into this. Many modern communists seem to think in hunter gather terms minus the testosterone to actually be hunter gathers. So we get this weird group of covetous layabouts who aren’t much use for anything productive.

    Fag Month White Pill: Hyperbased Texas preacher finally saying what every preacher should be saying:

    “I’m angry this morning because our entire country is celebrating the worse sin in the Bible,” Awes said during the sermon referring to Pride Month, which commemorates the LGBTQ+ community every June.

    “You know a lot of pastors have this stupid idea where it’s just like, ‘oh you know God loves everyone. And God hates the sin but loves the sinner.’ But people have taken this to such an extreme where they’re saying celebrate the sin, not just tolerate it, celebrate it,” he continued. “Let me show what the Bible says about these people.”

    Awes read several passages from the Bible and condemned homosexuality as a sin. At one point, he told the congregation that gay people “are dangerous to society” and said that “all homosexuals are pedophiles.”

    “I’m not saying that every single homosexual that’s alive right now has committed that act with a child already because it could be they haven’t had the opportunity yet and they will at some point later in their life,” he said. “This is why we need to put these people to death through the proper channels of the government. … These people are not normal. They’re not your average everyday sinners. … They have no hope of salvation.”

    At certain times during the sermon people from the crowd could be heard cheering in agreement. Awes told the room that he thinks the “solution for the homosexual in 2022” is the death penalty.

    “These people should be put to death. Every single homosexual in our country should be charged with a crime. The abomination of homosexuality that they have, they should be convicted in a lawful trial. They should be sentenced with death. They should be lined up against the wall and shot in the back of the head,” he said.

      He started good but went astray. Unless he is LARPing, proposing death penalty for all fags in America is just too harsh.

      I remember it was discussed in these blog some time ago how tolerating gay impairs male bonding, as men become too uncomfortable to show camaraderie fo fear to look or attract fags. However curbing gay too much still brings to the same problem: men become reluctant to show camaraderie as it could attract zealous fag-hunters.

        Are you serious? Genuine question.

          I think he is and I agree with him. Zealous Fag-hunting would absolutely damage male bonding, much like open homosexuality has damaged it.
          In both cases society tries to draw out homosexuals and this somewhat implicitly normalizes it.
          It is much like saying every man could be a homo, which is fairly close to leftist narrative, instead of treating it as an abnormal thing that lives in abnormal men, who act gay, and are clearly a nuisance to everyone else.

          Instead, if you have to filter good men, choose those who prove to be good fathers.

          I think Jim said something along the lines of, trying to kill all homosexuals is giving them too much attention, which is what they want.

          • Kunning Druegger says:

            Sodomy is ubiquitous throughout history, like communism. It is an evil that will not go away. There are many factors at play, and seizing on one and ignoring the others turns into whack-a-mole. So in that sense, yes, gay hunters would soon start fabricating evidence to retain their status and power. Ironically, they’d soon turn into the only place with any actual sodomites (call it celibate catholic syndrome).

            But the solemn, societal promise of a blindfold and a building in the future of any confirmed faggot is the only time tested defense against sodomites. Something I am learning as my little farm grows: I cannot ever win against vermin. There will be no Victory In Garden Day. Some pests need to be hit hard and early and ruthlessly, while others need to be reduced in accordance with their population.

            This may break with the consensus here, but if faggots want to exist and they play the part of good citizens against faggotry, I’m not quite sure what more could be done. Far worse than the bog standard faggot is the fag-advocate, the one who turns them into a cause, and Jim’s theories and measures outlined elsewhere for keeping priests in line should take care of that type of vermin. So I see the point and I basically agree.

            …after the great account deletion, of course.

              England in the time of her greatness had the death penalty for gays, but did not look for gays very hard at all. Gays at the time complained, not that they might get killed, but that they had to keep it in the closet: That they were not allowed to get in peoples faces, and smear gay all over culture and society. All the stories I read of people getting the death penalty were gays persistent shoving their gay around.

                  Yes, the best way to deal with gays would be to have the death penalty officially unofficial. Not for indiscreet physical affection, but for indiscreet obscenity and hitting on people. In the days when gays whined about “the love that dare not speak its name”, it was not love that was the problem, was not love that got them killed, and was not love that was and still is the problem. Physical affection between males that we would now find disturbing was fine and should be fine again. We find it disturbing now because gays shove poop and dick everywhere. That is what needs to get them killed.

                The Official Reactionary Position on sodomites is that they do not exist as a community, but are merely degenerate individuals indulging in depraved tastes. There is no need for fag hunters beyond the normal purview of the Inquisition to suppress entryism. You do not go looking for fags, and you pretend that they do not exist. When their behavior makes the pretense untenable, you crack down.

                Any members of the upper class so exposed are given a bottle of hard alcohol and a pistol with a single round in it, and a mention to do the right thing. They who do not use the pistol and all others that are not politically inconvenient get shipped to Alaska to serve out a death sentence. The problem disappears and everyone gets to go back to pretending. Think of the fag as the male version of the witch. Freelance witch hunters are a problem, but a official branch of witch hunters that protect their remit is not. An Inquisition can serve both purposes as part of their larger job of maintaining elite cooperation and preventing entryism into the church and government.

                  So there’s no need, rather there should be no need, for gay hunters. But literature and information advocating the concept of “homosexuality” is a completely different story.

              • ScotchedEarth says:

                fwiw, homosexuality ceased being a capital offence in UK in 1861, but it remained prohibited and, as you note, it was a lightly enforced prohibition—a notion that seems to have been the rule throughout Anglo if not European Civilisation.

                Not only homosexuality but other vices such as prostitution and gambling were illegal in Victorian and Edwardian Britain, but as long as such activities were done discretely, confined to the less salubrious areas of towns, and generally did not ‘scare the horses’—i.e. challenge or outrage respectable society—they were largely ignored.

                E.g. Oscar Wilde’s famous prosecution actually resulted from his making a mockery of British justice by initiating a libel suit based on the lie that he was not homosexual; his deception exposed in court, the Law had little choice but to prosecute—and even then exhibited no eagerness to prosecute as after a police inspector requested a warrant for the arrest of Wilde, the magistrate adjourned the court for an hour and a half, apparently ‘to give Wilde time to make his escape from England on the last boat to the Continent.’ If Wilde had emulated Wellington from the start—who, threatened with the publication of tales about him and a mistress, famously dismissed the cur with ‘Publish and be damned’—then he likely would never have been prosecuted. E.g. in Wilde’s circle was Cecil George Ives, who inspired E.W. Hornung’s Raffles character; a practising homosexual but never prosecuted—even though campaigning for legalising homosexuality. And Noël Coward’s homosexuality was an open secret (in his social circles)—even Winston knew, and the most he did was put the kibosh on a knighthood for which Noël was being considered.

                E.g. US Army and Pacific War veteran James Jones in his ‘From Here To Eternity’ and ‘The Thin Red Line’ (novels paralleling his own life—fictionalised memoirs perhaps?) including in passing some homosexual characters and incidents, suggesting that even the US Army of 1939–44 (James Jones’ years of service) displayed a fair level of tolerance, on the level of ‘If it ain’t causing problems, it ain’t a problem’. Note also example of TSgt Leonard Matlovich (1943–88*): a decorated airman, he officially declared his homosexuality in a letter to his CO, and the USAF’s reaction was basically, ‘Please don’t tell us what we ain’t asking.’ USAF wanted Matlovich to just STFU but he insisted on making himself a martyr.
                (* Died age 44 from AIDS—who coulda saw that coming?)

                We had far more of a ‘live and let live’ attitude with various legal prohibitions of vices in place than since we abolished those prohibitions, Ann Coulter observing that after their winning on same-sex marriage, ‘Big Gay’ proceeded to go house-to-house shooting the survivors. But imo ‘lightly enforced prohibition’ is a better way for a restored West than going full Taliban.

                  The stonewall riots started with the cops being told to stand back and give them room to riot. But riot failed to ensue, so they had another go with some fed provocateurs were sent in to smash stuff and hurt people, and then the regular gays, who had been irritatingly disinclined to riot, joined in. It was as much a state operation as the antifa riots. Gays are just disinclined to put on a good riot. Blacks, much easier to get them looting and burning, and harder to get them to stop.

                  They said to themselves, “It worked so well with blacks, let us have a do-over with gays”, but it took a great deal more push to get a satisfactory riot. Very top down and synthetic. Not as ludicrously fake as “Occupy”, but mighty fake.

        • Encelad says:

          I am going to elaborate a little further: A functioning society must prosecute sodomy and that would include death penalty. Before gay became popular this stance could be motivated with the Chesterton’s fence argument: past cultures condemned sodomy everywhere (1) thus there should be a very good reason to do it. In Clown World, witnessing daily how wicked these people are, you don’t even need to resort to Phylosophy: any sane person’s instinctual reaction when seeing a gay pride, drag show or similia is “kill it with fire”, and rightly so.
          What I object, however is the penalty being ALWAYS death including to closeted gays. Could that be an overreach that triggers spirals?
          Also, a genuine question: from a Christian point of view can a person be considered guilty and without hope of salvation even if is has not yet committed any irredeemable evil acts?

          (1) For the little I know, Official history says that in Africa and Asia was perfectly normal to be gay until the influence of evil whiteys took over, but of course we don’t trust official history. I would also be curious to know how gays were treated in, for example, ancient China of pre-Columbian America

          • C4ssidy says:

            Christian reprobate doctrine is that god turns them over to these desires after the offer of salvation has been finally rejected. In other words, god can give up on offering you chances.

        Where you have one man tell another man his mother wears combat boots, and the other responds that his mother is a whore, you will find real male bonding. That is where you will find four guys that can move a pile of wood in 15 minutes that would take one man several hours.

      Berghain holds clubs where gays in straight jackets have human centipede gay sex for 24 hours straight fucked out of their minds on speed and molly right on the dancefloor to psychotic electronic music: it’s their fucking club and they are very clear they want no undue attention or tourists. If this somehow comes to the attention of the inquisition, either an inquisitor should be fired or an informant is trying to cause trouble and direct the inquisition to stuff that would have been unnoticed if not for the informant going to gay drug techno orgies.

        That is the way every successful and healthy civilization has always done it.

        You have to kill gays that insist on intrusive gayness, and kill them in a way that is not merely terrifying, but more importantly, vastly more importantly, lowers their status.

        Trying to eliminate gay by killing them is pointless. They kill each other far more efficiently than any state has ever accomplished. Keeping gayness from overruning your society, culture, and civilization is what matters.

        Since gays do not exist, we should be willfully blind to symptoms of gayness. I don’t want hunter killer drones flying around with AI that recognizes the gay face. The problem with that is that they would love all that attention. What they really do not like is willful blindness, and they react to willful blindness by shoving poop and dick in your face. That, we need to deal with in a way that is both terrifying and amusing. However, AI detection of gayness should be applied in screening recruits to any organization and activity that has a problem with conspiracies. You don’t want a gay purchasing officer, or he will plot with other gays in other businesses against your business, and still less do you want gay priests in the priesthood. The Roman Catholic Church has had a lavender mafia problem for a very long time. We don’t want underground gays in matters that need security. But in other matters, we don’t want to notice gays. Noticing them is what they want.

        In some activities we do need careful screening against gays, but such screening needs to be unobtrusive, to avoid gaying up our society by making gayness important and giving them too much attention.

        • Kunning Druegger says:

          I think there are some unavoidable technical issues for why gays (meaning, sodomites with self control) are attracted to any endeavors requiring secrecy, subterfuge, cunning, and persistence. Namely, they are quite good at it. So the issue becomes, do I put this sodomite in charge of something because he’s the best man for the job, knowing full well that I am opening myself up to real problems down the road, or do I eschew his services and through into question whether or not there will be a “down the road” to even worry about.

    I’m sure everyone here was already aware of this, but Anglin is just the bee’s tits.

    “Everyone wants to talk about how the World Economic Forum is running a conspiracy to make everyone poor, and how inflation fits into this. This is all obvious. They are clearly doing this on purpose in order to make everyone poor.

    However – this simply does not make any sense within the context of remaining international competition. Why would you want to completely destroy your country’s economic power while you are still trying to fight wars against Russia and China?

    Here is a simple outline of what I’ve argued over and over again regarding the overarching picture of the current situation:

    There is a long-running plan for a global “scientific dictatorship” that was more or less solidified in the 1970s when they first started pushing the environmentalist flapdoodle
    In the 1970s, the people planning this did not believe that China was a threat at all, because they basically thought Chinamen were backward autistic morons
    In the 1990s, Western industry was moved to China, creating massive wealth in China, and everyone just assumed that these small-eyed people they thought were autistic morons would be turned into gay retards by a little bit of economic success
    In the late 00s and early 10s, it became clear that China was not interested in being a part of the globalist project – they were just going to keep the money and do their own thing, which is a kind of merchant empire that is not dependent on the interdependence of the Western globalist order
    By this time, no one running elite organizations in the West was capable of recalibrating the agenda based on the predictions about China being proved wrong
    The elite are pushing forward with the agenda as it was laid out before China’s current direction was clear
    I don’t think this is really that complicated, but a lot of people seem to not understand what I am saying. I have no desire or ability to force anyone to agree with me, but if they’re going to disagree, they should put forward a response to what I’ve said and a countertheory on why it appears that the West is totally destroying itself in a program that is going to leave the Chinese ruling the world.”

        Anyone can admit this fact without stepping out of the frame you described. If you believe Jews are evil, and that everything is due to Jews, it is not surprising to you that Jews would harm themselves with their false medicine in the process.

        It’s part of the theory that Jews are inherently self-destructive. If they are not, and the rest holds true, then they are better than everyone else.

        Convincing these people that Jews are merely part of power, and not power itself, is not easy.
        That said, I have seen most of them abandon the idea that there is a monolithic conspiracy, and understand that things are a lot less organized than that.

          Covid proved that at the top there absolutely is a monolithic conspiracy but that conspiracy is not the jews.

            It didn’t. There are many conspiracies, and different members of the system fall in line whenever they see that it is beneficial for them to do so.

            If anything COVID shows how the model of a monolithic conspiracy does not apply, because the majority of the authorities were skeptical of covid to begin with, and for a long time, before eventually changing their minds.

            If covid was spread intentionally, then it was done by one group of people, and then later the narrative was picked up by the rest.
            Nothing about what happened proves there is one group of people at the top coordinating the entire system. And if there was, then the system would be more coherent, and show some signs of prescience instead of changing its mind every week and pretending oceania was always at war with eastasia.
            When the elite were more cohesive, the narrative was more coherent.
            Not even the messaging on vaccines was coherent over time, and that was the strongest point of agreement.

                There are orders. They do go out, but they never seem to have a consistent source, nor is there in easily discernable type of source. Sometimes it’s the “super smarts,” other times it’s the “super holys”, and most every time, there’s no single person you can say is The Source, even when Someone gets chosen to carry the praise or blame. The same forces that make it impossible to accurately blame the culpable are also at work keeping a King from accidentally sprouting in the bureaucracy by giving a single person, or even a consistent group of persons (I’d argue), a path to power. The source potentials are constricted, they have to be, but it’s such a poorly crafted conspiracy in terms of responsibility that it accidentally lends immense power to very low ranking, uninitiated members with alarming frequency. This is why the Public School System is what it is, and all of their Program is coming from the Harvard Cluster. It relies on the fostering of a deep conformity to some of the excellent terms S.t John uses for the anti-telos of Progress.

                It’s like the twisted inverse of the hero genre: a terribly evil tentacular monster constantly striding about the human landscape, strangling future knights in their cradles.

                  This, to me, is an incredibly precise statement of the situation. They don’t realize how vulnerable they are in the core GAE, so they play the most irresponsible games. For them, casualties and losses are just the deficit side of their balance sheet. It’s always someone else’s friends dying, or children mutilated. They are convinced that it won’t come home to them, and they live and operate accordingly. So they are greedy, sloppy, and brazen. Not without merit, of course. Mainline conservatism is cucked six ways from Sunday. But Russians never seem to forget anything, and I feel confident in stating that they will be paying the GAE back for the way UKR has been handled.

                  If the attrition arising from active IEW is slow enough, I think we will see the number of monolithic conspiracies reduce, but that implies some single leader or rigid group of persons in charge.

                  Suspicious, really? I didn’t attend Jesuit schools; I said that I had met some Jesuits in school and college. I have also met plenty of Jews and didn’t go to fucking Yeshiva. I also did not make any claim about a monolithic Jewish conspiracy apart from pointing out that Jews are involved in virtually any one of the major “conspiracies” you could name, for which there is approximately a thousand to ten thousand times more evidence than there is for some nebulous Jesuit conspiracy…

                • The Cominator says:

                  Fauci’s very clear Jesuit ties (which Steve Bannon and Robert Malone agree with me on apparently, and Bannon is a Roman Catholic) makes the conspiracy not nebulous especially given that the Jesuits have a history of even Catholic countries booting them out for subversive political activity. Clearly Fauci was the most important man in Covid (with his fellow Jesuit Redfield being #2) he not only orchestrated it scientifically and in the media he oversaw its creation “gain of Function research”.

                  Cardinal Vigano also a Roman Catholic (I cannot explain why he hasn’t been excommunicated or murdered myself) has also denounced the Jesuit order as being at the heart of the Covid and globalist conspiracies. An integral part of the restoration is the complete and total and eventually global extermination of the Jesuits including all the secret plainclothes Jesuits and dragging the pope in chains to a new Avignon.

                  Jews in power tend not to serve the interest of jews the way Kevin Macdonald says they should, Jews in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union fought and purged each other and eventually let absolute power accrue to the non Jew Stalin who with very few exceptions purged then. It just can’t be them for that reason. Jesuits otoh are a military order of spies that operate based on a strict hierarchy with vows of obedience, conspiracy requires true hierarchy and compartmentalization. I’m not arguing the Jesuits are at the top btw… the top is probably so hidden that no mere member of the public will ever see it but they probably serve as its most important agents.

                  I would say I’m more blackpilled on at least American women than bluepilled. American women like men who play the role of violent thugs… low social intelligence playing that way (especially in Florida lol, they don’t call it the fuck around and find out state for nothing) is likely to get you badly beaten or shot.

I don’t think I disagree with Jim on women in most other ways other than good experiences have left me with a soft spot for working girls (another thing I’ve never mentioned one of them permanently cured some chronic neck pain I used to have it was like a miracle, no charge btw).

Everyone speaking the truth under his own name is under cover, and the more prominent the name, the deeper the cover needs to be. Quite a lot of the careless have had an unfortunate demise, about which demise law enforcement is curiously uncurious.

                  I think you are overly obsessed on being violent in order to attract women. Jim uses hyperbole for effect. You don’t need to be a literal violent criminal in order to attract Western women. We have plenty commenters here you prove the literal opposite of this. Until you can understand that you are not even black-pilled, you are blue-pilled on women. The blue pillers are all also black pilled. So if you are black pilled, you are blue pilled.

                  What you do need to be is masculine and manly, which means having the look of a man capable of violence. Lifting is the easiest and most tried and true way to achieve this which is why it is so stressed in Red Pill on Women blogs.

                  Next you need to learn game and social skills which is how a masculine and manly interacts with women and other men. Game has nothing to do with violence. Read Rollo, Roissy, and Roosh and you will see nothing about violence.

                  If you can just be masculine and learn how to act masculine socially, becoming a top 20% is not really that hard in our sea of effeminate Western men.

                  Improve yourself physically, financially, socially, spiritually, etc. Become a top-tier man that women want and men want to befriend. Yes it will be a lot of work. That’s the point. If it wasn’t, every man would be getting laid.

                  This is the most positive thing about our environment, in that it forces men to improve for the better or die out.

                  If you are crying about Western women this and Western woman that, to me this screams of “I just don’t want to put in the work and am looking for a short cut”.

    From Part 03:
    “Many of history’s leading nations — and all of its commercial empires — have been thalassocracies. For the last 207 years, the globe has been dominated by maritime powers. The United Kingdom began the trend in 1815. Emerging as the winner of the Napoleonic Wars, the UK established the so-called Pax Britannica and enforced it with the world’s greatest navy. While Britannia ruled the waves, the sun never set on her flag. Germany tried twice to unseat Britain at sea, and failed both times. Japan tried to turn the Pacific into its own thalassocracy in the form of the “Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere,” but suffered defeat at the hands of the UK and the US. Since 1945, the UK has gradually ceded control of the oceans to the US. America rules the waves today. The World Ocean is mare nostrum, our pond.”

        Both Rome and Carthage were empires highly dependent on the seas for logistics and colonies. The main reason Rome expanded so fast was due to sea power. Not exactly right to call Rome a land empire when it was both a land and sea power.

        • Aidan says:

          Not until after the wars with Carthage- Rome did not know how to build ships until a Carthaginian ship shipwrecked during the first Punic war, and they reverse-engineered it and built a navy that was competitive with Carthage’s

        • Red says:

          A sea vs land power is based on how an empire defends itself. If a nation relies on land armies to for defense then it’s a land power. If relies on ships for defense, then it’s a sea power. Carthage was a sea power during the first Punic war, but reformed it’s model and became a land power for the 2ed Punic war as it was obvious that being a land power was better before the age of powered ships.

          Trade and logistics by sea is always better if you have pirates under control. Strong land powers tend to develop navies just for this purpose.

        • notglowing says:

          I second what Aidan pointed out. I think the thalassocracy narrative is confusing cause and effect.
          The incumbent ruling empire always rules the seas, and makes money from trade thanks to that.

          But very often decisive victories over powerful empires were fought over land.
          It’s fairly difficult to attack a country from water anyhow, the US is an example and it has a big advantage in only having two relatively weak land neighbours.

          Countries with many hostile powers adjacent by land have to struggle a lot more frequently, and WW2 was a good example of that.

          Rome was a land power when it destroyed Carthage. Carthage was a sea power before, and subsequently Rome became more of a sea power.

      > It’s important to note that an increase in money supply doesn’t necessarily lead to inflation, however. If the quantity of available goods increases at the same time, then price levels will stay the same.

      This is not relevant to the thesis presented, but I’d just like to quibble that this bit I’m quoting is seeming to imply by omission that, if the quantity of money rises and the quantity of goods does not rise, then there will necessarily be price inflation. And that’s not true:

      In the aftermath of the 2008 crisis, central banks created a lot of money, but people (or at least banks) were willing to hold onto that money for the time being, so there wasn’t significant price inflation. Only when they stopped being willing to hold onto so much money did the price rise.

      The inflation was however eventually going to happen because people’s willingness to hold money depends on inflation. Thus, when inflation does start from any sort of shock (and shocks are inevitable), people stop being so willing to hold onto the money and instead spend it, making a large supply of money greatly amplify any price inflation pressure. The high money supply also makes it a lot harder for central bank to stop the inflation once started.

      There’s a further implication regarding the situation in 2008. If the people holding the money had thought that there would have been moderate inflation coming back in 2008, they wouldn’t have been willing to hold onto so much money, so we would have had inflation back then without the need for much money supply increase, and the central banks could afterward have tamped down on the price inflation more effectively due to the lower money supply. And we wouldn’t be in as much trouble now as we are. So, the high inflation and high money supply issues now in part resulted from too-tight (in terms of not causing inflation) monetary policy in the wake of 2008.

      This seemed btw at least at the start to be a deliberate choice by the central banks – they bailed out the financiers through money creation while stopping the money from flowing to goods by e.g., paying interest on reserves.

      However, they kept up the policy of the money supply high, along with low enough inflation not to cause runaway inflation, a lot longer than actually made sense for a bailout. Not sure why, but maybe they realized they were painting themselves into a corner and wanted to look like they were “doing something” for the economy by adding money while delaying the popping-the-money-bubble crisis until it wouldn’t be their problem anymore.

      • The Ducking Man says:

        >while delaying the popping-the-money-bubble crisis until it wouldn’t be their problem anymore.

        Quite sensible given that most central bankers today are really close to either retirement home or death bed.

      Charlemagne wasn’t fully Christian.

      • Aidan says:

        Charlemagne was considered an exemplary Christian by every prominent Christian alive. Stalin was considered insufficiently communist by many prominent communists, to the extent they wanted to kill him. You are using the same definition of Christianity as people who want the white race eradicated, the same definition all my enemies use.

        What was wrong with Charlemagne’s Christianity?

        There were and are no end of communists saying Stalin was not communist enough – and if he had been communist enough, Russia would have lost.

        I am not aware of any Christians complaining that Charlemagne was not Christian enough, and we have no shortage of rulers who were officially and rightly declared Saints, whose hands are as bloody or considerably bloodier than those of Charlemagne.

        Good Christians are allowed to conquer and to forcibly resist conquest, and have done lots of it. Always have been. It is postChristianity that forbids it, while hypocritically pretending it is not doing it.

      America has a navy, but is not a classical thalassocracy. America would still be a world leading military power as a land country. It is a land empire that is also an island. Given this incredible power, it’s amazing the US hasn’t conquered the world more quickly and thoroughly than it has.

      Damn, Kissinger negotiated the petrodollar system, too? I didn’t know that. Whatever you think of the man, he sure did get around. If that’s like the fourth or fifth thing on your resume, you’ve made quite the mark. High energy.

      Henry Kissinger, at that time US Secretary of State, saw a way to solve the problem. Actually he found a way to solve three problems: the Arab-Israel problem, the oil problem, and the currency problem. He traveled to Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, and negotiated a deal with them to create the petrodollar system. The arrangement had two components:

      The US would guarantee the security of the Saudi Arabian regime and agree to sell them the best arms and equipment our military-industrial complex could supply. In exchange, Saudi Arabia would use its position in OPEC to guarantee that all oil trade was denominated in US dollars.

      The US would open its markets to foreign investment from OPEC members. In exchange, a substantial portion of surplus oil proceeds would be used to purchase US Treasury debt.

      This deal formed the basis of the petrodollar system. The US dollar was now backed, not by its own gold, but by other country’s oil!

Of course, poopdick is disgusting and GNON indeed loathes dysgenic hedonic monsters, but try to convince me that the WBC did anything useful for opposing it. They definitely sent fence sitters fleeing toward the progressive position. They definitely received comprehensive and perpetual protection and support from local LEO and even feds (in NJ, IIRC) when they were conducting their “”””outreach ministry.””” They definitely received significant funding from a very few but anonymous sources.

    You have 100 slots on a list. Who would you fill in on the List of American Oligarchs?

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/oligarchy

    Definitions on line won’t be much help creating the serious type of rules and parameters expected on this blog, so I guess use the wealth-staus-influence metrics? Doesn’t really matter, half the point of the exercise is to order my thinking to a degree past my native capabilities.

    • jim says:

      Oligarch is a term used by shills to imply that we are ruled by rich evil capitalists, such as Musk. (Soros somehow strangely not appearing in their narrative.) But in fact, those who rule us have very little money. They do not need it. They just reach out their hand, and whatever they want is placed in it.

      The literal meaning of Oligarch and Oligarcy is non merit based rule by the few. Aristocracy is merit based rule of the few. Meritocracy means that someone in authority decides who has merit, while aristocracies tend to originate from those who display merit in battle being in a position to make their will stick.

      The rise of William the Marshal from being the penniless horseless son of a defeated Baron is a good example of this. Everything he his father possessed was taken from him, and everything he came to possess was theoretically granted by the King, which theoretically makes it meritocracy, not aristocracy, but the King tended to grant it to him after he had taken it with his own sword.

      • Kunning Drueger says:

        Rectification of names: oligarch should be fairly applied to the American Elite, but if it’s improper, how about Plutocs? I know money is no accurate measure, but wealth, status, and influence would add significant refinement, precisely because wealth isn’t measured in dollars alone.

        Who are the top 100 most influential people with high status and considerable wealth? 1 or 2 out of the three invalidates inclusion on the list, as wealth can be construed as influence or control over other’s money, property, or agency.

                Not at all. Normies see actors as these massive, influential entities; I see them as overpriced targets for expensive lights and cameras. But certain actors, like Tom Cruise, have actually applied their wealth and fame to create massive cults of personality (Will Smith, Depp), while others have used their stellar record to insinuate themselves into the ranks of the hollywood elite (Cruise). This is not a simple task, as actors tend to be pretty dull and carriers of the worst social contagions. Angelina Jolie is another, now that I’m thinking about it.

                Just like having money doesn’t necessarily make you powerful, having fame doesn’t necessarily make you influential. But their are powerful people with great wealth and influential people who have widespread fame.

                Here’s someone that I think is deeply entangled with the real power running the GAE:

                https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rory_Stewart

                his political positions are one element, his rampant humanist rhetoric is a factor, but it’s most likely his social circle, who is in his phone as it were, that would really prove my theory. Yarvin is unassailably correct in at least one thing: real power goes to great lengths to conceal itself.

                • Kunning Drueger says:

                  Respectfully, strongly disagree. Of course the top is in charge and gets the sweetest, freshest fruits of domination. But the system, the entirety of the GAE, is meta-bureaucracy. From the very top to the bottom, it’s flunkies, wonks, and hacks playing faggot games and winning faggot prizes. Marcuse was a baller (may he burn eternally), the Brain Trust knew how to indulge in power like actual men, but they and their kind are long gone, replaced by the products of their unholy alliance with demons. I’m not going to try to quote it, but Jim uttered a simple sentence about what relationships with demons do and cause that I found utterly profound (I’ll dig it up later), and the evidence for it is so obvious when you spend time with the upper echelons. They are all, in a sense, social-trustfund babies. Marcuse wanted to fuck little boys with no restrictions or consequences, so he immanenetized the es-scat-ton and made academia his bitch. That’s super evil, demigod-like power. Orphans weren’t enough, so he fucked two successive generations of children with his mind. Thank God he’s dead, and thank Him even more his disciples failed to carry anything more than the payload forward through time.

                  For context, I am not in the Central Control camp; I believe the Cathedral is a distributed network with no fixed center, no certain hierarchy. In essence, everyone in the GAE is downstream from power. Many here believe FDR and friends suspended feminism and progressivism temporarily to fight the Progressive War of Expansion. I have my doubts, but let’s assume that’s true. The Cathedral of today lacks the capacity to repeat that exercise. Satan literally sits atop the throne of the Cathedral.

                  So yes, monkey follow orders. But there’s no King Looey. It’s like Farmer’s Riverworld, just a labyrinth of social control measures. This means participation by most parts is requisite to functionality.

This is why I think mapping the human geography of power has value, but I completely accept that it’s a sloppy model and quite possibly a dead end without automating the collection and categorizing of the relevant data. As well, the positions get vacated so quickly, and refilled, and diluted, that it may be impossible.

                  So either Cruise isn’t a zealous wokeist and they just sort of let this one fall thru the cracks, or the Cathedral is planning a partial rehabilation of masculinity.

                  “Just like having money doesn’t necessarily make you powerful, having fame doesn’t necessarily make you influential. ”

                  I would argue that while the average famous person is more powerful than the average person without fame, that fame makes it less likely that you have real power. The top of the pyramid does not want publicity for the same reason oldschool mafiosi don’t want publicity.

                  Well put on all counts, Com. I don’t think they could rehab masculinity if they wanted to, and I also think another option is that the center with no Center can’t hold, so sections with even a scintilla of sovereignty are starting to, albeit calmly and quietly, buck the trend and muddy the message.

                  Also, while every Plutoc must pay lip service to the Message, it doesn’t mean that they’re all on board with it. Musk is a believer in climate change (and so am I, to a very different degree), but that doesn’t make him woke, it just means he’s convinced it’s an issue. maybe a relevant distinction between normie and online helicopter flight school is that the normie feels like he has to believe, while the true believer knows they must believe.

                  Completely unrelated, it occurs to me that we could come up with an expensive but precise test for weeding out true believers and normies: in the hilarious German movie Look Who’s Back, the protagonist is put into a situation at the end, a final loyalty test to the reborn Fueher. Imagine rigging up a (completely fake) scenario where the captive in question is made to believe that, though they are about to be executed, they are being watched by thousands of their comrades. If they drink the wormwood, good, we just got one true leftist lighter. If they don’t care who is watching, they just don’t want to die for globohome, we’ve got us another worker bee.

He’s ironically someone who’d probably pass a RPWQ test. In the end, he turned his back on God to bask in the momentary light of party acceptability.

        From the very start he was traitor. This wasn’t a momentary thing. If good Christians like Mike Pence are so evil that he’s willing lie, help frame an innocent man, and help burn down the American Republic… then I’m rather less than convinced that Christianity is the answer. Christianity doesn’t appear to be producing virtue. Good Christians appear to be completely untrustworthy given Mike Pense example. I think this might warrant some study.

        • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

          I do not think Pence thought he was burning down the American Republic. He likely thought he was trying to save it. There is a strain of Christian thought in America that holds that America is a divinely ordained nation, and the Constitution is divinely inspired. Mormons take that idea and run with it. I would bet he thought he was protecting the Republic by betraying Trump, because Trump was a threat to the status quo and the status quo is the Republic. Since the status quo is the Republic and the Republic is divinely inspired, then lying, betraying Trump, and framing Flynn was his duty to the Republic and God.

          That is not a Christian problem; that is a human problem. Someone looking for justification to do something wicked to benefit themselves is a problem as old as time. Christians should not do it, but Christianity is not a perfect system. It still relies on the decency of men, and recognizes that many will fall short. Pence did wrong, but the vast majority of practicing Christians stood by Trump the whole way.

            A good religion should produce virtuous people. Mike Pence’s Christianity produced the opposite and our faith that a good Christian like Mike Pence would be a virtuous man caused quite a lot of lot misjudgement by a lot of people. Big Talk Barr is another example of this pattern. Talked big game about Christianity while having Epstein bumped off so the wicked and corrupt wouldn’t be embarrassed by his files.

            I’m naturally suspiciously of Christians because my own experiences with good Christians shows they’re not virtuous men. Holier than thou men, but not virtuous. We’re going to need virtuous men going forward and being a good Christian doesn’t appear to be a good test for that.

            • Kunning Drueger says:

              This is a dangerous path to tread. The reducto ad absurdum is always “religion can’t be perfect, so we should get rid of religion.” We can look at bad Christians and judge all Christians just as easily as the converse, and both approaches create a blindspot, just like the mistake I and others made with Pence. For all of his seeming devotion, Pence was a politician first and a servant last. This is, in my opinion, the greater failing of high profile Christians. They cloak their lust for power in self-righteous aggrandizing and forget that to lead is to serve. Liberal democracy turns everything good into selfservice, all for the purpose of maintaining the rewarding status quo.

              “because my own experiences with good Christians shows they’re not virtuous men. Holier than thou men, but not virtuous.”

              Anyone going around talking about how good/moral they are is likely presenting a facade. Victorian England coined a term for this kind of person from a Charles Dickens character. A Pecksniff.

            • Pooch says:

              I’m naturally suspiciously of Christians because my own experiences with good Christians shows they’re not virtuous men. Holier than thou men, but not virtuous. We’re going to need virtuous men going forward and being a good Christian doesn’t appear to be a good test for that.

              Pence is not a “good Christian”. He’s a Christcuck McChristian. I don’t know what your experience with McChristians are but one whole side of my family is and the men essentially boil down to nothing more than black worshipping male feminists and are extremely blue pilled on race and gender.

              There are no old type actual Christians in high level positions of politics. They get weeded out. If someone is expressing outwardly Christian views in a high level government positions they are most definitely a Christcuck McChristian. A real Christian would have had to keep his beliefs hidden to reach that position.

              • Red says:

                I think you nailed it. Rereading Pence history it’s clear he wasn’t anything other than a McChristain.

    • Pooch says:

      Pence is a Christcuck convert, not an old type Christian like Flynn. So in retrospect, obvious he was not our guy.

      • Pooch says:

        The Christcucks blend in with the old type Christians so sometimes it’s hard to discern each from each other. Usually you can tell by the Church they go to. Pence from what I understand goes to some faggy “moderate” megachurch which preaches Black Lives Matter in the sermons.

        • Kunning Drueger says:

          I have no skin in the game besides prior (faulty) analysis, but I think it’s quite likely that Pence was seduced by the Koch Brothers apparatus. He’s also a bit of a Mr. Niceguy; he restarted his political career after a heavy defeat with some emotional apology about mudslinging his campaign deployed. That’s kinda gay, but it worked, and his religious proclivities made him a target of the Kochs when they built their nominally moralist faction in the RNC. He’s not a RINO if we use his record as a governor, but that’s almost a distinction without a difference after the Steal. Reagan’s decision to open the Mexican border did much evil, but the Neocon apparatus had many gay fathers.

          To put it another way, Pence doesn’t get a Groupon for a helicopter tour, but he does get an all expenses paid trip to the woodshed for being a traitor.

          • Pooch says:

            I agree with this analysis but I would add, which was not obvious in 2016 but very obvious now, that Christcucks and McChristians fit a repeated recognizable pattern. I’m familiar with it in my own family.

            Essentially, they are extremely blue pilled on women and race yet are pro-life (but always couch it with “but we must adopt more children!” like comey Barrett) , anti-homo marriage, and tend have what a appears to be a happy traditional marriage with multiple kids.

            If you aren’t paying attention they look like your friend but on closer inspection they are very much our enemies. Ben Sasse and the before mentioned Comey Barrett are other examples of these types because what they amount to are basically raging pro-life woke feminists.

            • ExileStyle says:

              This is exactly my experience, unfortunately. I’d say everyone alive by now is aware of the RQ (I’d love to find the corner of the earth where you’re not forced to be) but a lot of evangelical McChristians do their old self-defensive “You are the actual racists!” game. Being aware of the issue is the first step; frames can be changed.

              On the WQ, though – while you might get pushback on the more extreme forms of rabid feminism, Woman is still Holy to McChristians. Holier even to your average Evangelical Joe Blow, I think, than to the feminists themselves in some cases. (See: purity balls.) We have a long way to go there.

              I bet if you took a poll, “Segregation wasn’t that bad” would poll much, much better than “Women should never have had the right to vote.”

              Thing is, though, this is the men’s fault. Women, as we know, crave to own and be owned, not to be pure or holy or whatever. (Quite the opposite.) The average evangelical wife/mother seems to have a loud, obnoxious presence in these families that they do not always otherwise have. Men in these churches need to start taking control of their women.

              • Red says:

                Try talking to McChristains about marrying their daughters off to good Christian boys instead of sending them to whore school. Their brains instantly shutdown from the crimestop. They can’t even articulate an argument against it because it’s both obviously a good idea and biblical.

                • Kunning Druegger says:

                  I have encountered this too. It’s puzzling, but my working theory is that it is an effect of boomer + Judeo-Christian.

                If you want to argue Marxism 101, make an argument. Don’t simply assume that Marxism 101 is obviously and self evidently true and everyone already agrees it is true, including me. If you want to argue Marxism 101, I would love you to, but I have never heard or read a Marxist actually make the argument – revealing that they know it is obvious and transparent bullshit.

                Reaction 101: Capitalism does not rule, never has ruled, never can rule, never will rule. Capitalists cannot rule. Everyone knows that, not just reactionaries. Marxism is crazy and obviously stupid, and no one has taken it seriously for a very long time.

                But reactionaries also know that the people cannot rule, never have ruled, never will rule. We are always ruled by priests or warriors, or something of both. The nearest thing to capitalist rule is something like the golden period of the Venetian Republic (warrior merchants with a background in piracy ruled). Warrior merchants, pirates and drug smugglers, founded Hong Kong, and to this day merchants exercise a great deal of power. But in the beginning, the British Empire exercised final authority, though from a distance and without too much meddling, and today the Communist party exercises final authority, though it makes an effort to stay away and not meddle too much. In Hong Kong in the beginning, warrior rule from conveniently far away England, in Hong Kong today, priestly rule from dangerously close Peking. In the rest of the world, no power at all. Zuckerberg trembles before HR and accounting, literally trembles, Musk waits for FAA approval. Zuckerbeg is an enemy, Musk is an ally, but such people do not have power, except that Musk has power because he can build better rockets than anyone else, and build them faster and cheaper than anyone else, and build more rockets than the rest of the world put together. But he cannot hold a gun to anyone’s head, while lots of people in the Polygon can and do hold a gun to his head. What he can do is tell buddies in the Pentagon to get the FAA off his back if they want the capability to lift stuff to orbit. They have guns.

                If you want to argue against that, make an argument. Stop assuming Marxism 101 as a universally accepted faith whose truth is self evident. There are scarcely any old type Marxists around these days and far from being self evident, if there was any evidence for its truth, no Marxist seems to ever get around to presenting it.

True the Vote has their cell phone I.D.’s—they don’t have their names, but law enforcement can get their names very easily. The process is quite simply to get a warrant, go to the cell phone provider, unmask the mules, then visit them: Who paid you? Who put you up to this? Who organizes this operation? So, this is the normal course of action that law enforcement would take in any other case. A similar approach is called for here.

      Now obviously, if they’re able to unravel and expose a wider cartel that would draw in many other people, the people who run these nonprofits, the people who have been funding the organizations it takes to pull all this together—yeah that’s a case that can absolutely end up in court.

                  The Holy Roman emperor sacked Rome for much the same very good reasons as people were turning protestant, even though he remained Roman Catholic.

                  The proposition that the Pope was the antichrist and the Roman Catholic Church under the direct control of demons was quite plausible at the time. The Papacy, not the Reformation, was the primary cause of the destruction of the Holy Roman Empire, and everything else that was within its grasp.

                  That it is under the direct demons is right now a great deal more plausible, though it is obvious that the Pope is not the antichrist, but rather the very junior minion and gofer of some gay Harvard professor, who may well be possessed by demons.

                  The counter reformation took a great pile of demonic heretical papal doctrines, and stuffed them behind the water heater in the basement, to join with ancient dusty mildewed words of Saint Paul. They are still officially doctrine, like Maoism in China, a perpetual hazard that they may be pulled out from behind the water heater in the basement and re-ignited, to serve the same evil, hostile, and malign purposes as they did during the Reformation and the events leading to the Reformation. Those doctrines need to be sent back to where they came from, back to hell, while Saint Paul needs to be taken out from behind the water heater, put back in the Church administration, and his words on the recruitment and selection of clergy heeded.

                  The emperor theoretically disowned the sacking, but under his command his armies defeated the armies of the Pope, and were given control of the city in lieu of pay. “oops, sorry Popie, I defeated you in the field of battle, and then in a fit of absent mindedness I forgetfully gave my armies the city, and somehow neglected to pay them. Totally not my fault and not my intention. I told them not to sack the city, but unpaid mercenaries just do not listen. Who would have thought it?”

                  Nuts. From 1073 to the present, a nest of spiteful faggots prostituting Christianity for power. Which is why they wound up at war with the Holy Roman Emperor and lost.

                  > And blaming the Thirty Years’ War on the Catholic Church is like blaming the Cold War on the Romanovs

                  So who caused the Sack of Rome. Hint. It was not the Holy Roman Emperor.

                  What caused the sack of Rome is that the Roman Catholic Church went to war against the Holy Roman Emperor and lost. Traitors. They deserved it well, and learned a lesson, which lesson manifested in the counter reformation.

                  But despite the counter reformation, that nest of faggots continued and still continues to pursue that which is Caesar’s. They just became more furtive about it and were less enthused about rewriting their theology for it at alarmingly frequent intervals.

                  The Holy Roman Empire fell for the same reason as the American Empire is falling. The emperor lost memetic sovereignty to an official state religion that was hostile to him and the Holy Roman Empire. The Vatican was full of faggot heretical traitors, then as now.

What made those doctrines demonic is that they were rationalizations and justifications for demonic actions, and it is the conduct of the Roman Catholic Church from the events leading to the great schism and to the sack of Rome that is a more relevant topic of discussion.

                  An interesting part of that relevant topic is: why did the Holy Roman Emperor wind up sending his armies against Rome and against the armies of the Pope, and how come a Pope had armies at war in the first place? And when the answers to those questions are understood, then and only then does the demonic character of these dusty, mildewed, and forgotten doctrines become apparent.

International churches are innately subversive and church hierarchies should not cross borders.

                • jim says:

                  The long and the short from great schism to the sack of Rome is that the Pope coveted that which was Caesar’s, and this eventually got up Caesar’s nose, and all the wicked heresies that Roman Catholicism came up with over that period derive from that.

                • Shooter McGavin says:

                  I understand that there was plenty of justification for breaking away from the Catholic Church as Jim points out but I don’t see how most Protestant doctrines are not just as much demonic heresy. There’s just no getting around the fact that Luther was a liar and his heretical five solas are agreed upon by nearly all of the other Protestant strains be they Calvinist, Arminian, or whatever of the thousands of denominations. Most of the ingredients for superprotestantism were there from the very beginning. Luther himself attempted to throw James epistle behind the water heater in the basement and taught that every midwit armed with a Bible was more authoritative than the priesthood.

                • jim says:

                  The seeds of superprotestantism were indeed there from the beginning, and around the time that Cromwell took power in England, we had full on postChristianity. And today, Protestantism undeniably sucks. But Cromwell himself was a good Christian, and the postChristians faded out when access to power was cut off.

                  But old type Anglicanism was the best Christianity ever, because of its sound appreciation of the logos as God’s will acting through material and effective causation, which put science in its proper place, and thus the most compatible of all state religions with science and technology.

                  The fundamental separation of ruler and high priest was instituted by Moses, and any deviation from it turns nasty.

                  Christianity was always more compatible with science that any state faith anywhere, and Anglicanism expressed that compatibility in the highest degree of any Christianity. I have some quarrels with the 39 articles, which wiffed on marriage, but the Anglicanism gave effect to the ancient doctrine of coverture, while failing to give it full on divine endorsement. The old Anglican marriage ceremony is fine, though we need to revive the widespread system of a marriage ceremony based on mock, or real, abduction. Christianity has always been weak on marriage, got a lot weaker when the Roman Catholic faggot priesthood capitulated to the Romance movement in the eleventh century, and never fully recovered, but the Anglican Church to 1820 did an adequate job. Coverture would make the Taliban blush. We need Coverture, theological backing for Coverture, and the Anglican position on the Logos. Roman Catholicism has neither, instead being hostile to science in the same way peer review is, and having contractual marriage embedded right into its theology.

                  The Roman Catholic Church, in the events leading to the great schism, coveted that which was Caesar’s. The great Schism was caused by the Pope coveting kingdoms and armies, not rectories and farms.

                  It had the reverse pathology to superprotestantism, casually prostituting Christianity to the momentary needs of the Pope as Caesar. If you have a separate high priest and Caesar, the state Church then complies with Caesar’s momentary needs without sacrificing its essence. It can submit to a wicked Caesar and then he passes, and you do not get state positions adopted for a momentary political advantage embedded in your theology as infallible doctrine, nor evil acts and policies permanently required to be written up as holy acts. With multiple Caesars, you do not get holy wars between Christians. The Holy Roman Emperor and Byzantine Emperor’s had their troubles, and they got backing from their respective state Churches, while Christians and priests adhering to different state Churches remained in communion with each other, fellow Christians of the same synthetic tribe, which shared tribal identity greatly muted the nastiness of those troubles. From the great schism onwards, the Roman Catholic Church subverted the authority of the Holy Roman Emperor and fostered war with Byzantium, which led to the failure of the crusades.

                  Its hostility to the Holy Roman Emperor led to the sack of Rome, which resulted in it putting its ambitions for the worldly power of Caesar on the back burner, where they continue to simmer quietly despite the counter reformation – hence the Jesuit problem, which has now followed the same trajectory as superprotestantism, and become not merely postChristian, but a full on demon worshiping religion rapidly heading towards human sacrifice. It walked a different path to demon worship.

                  One of the planks of the whig memeplex is ‘separation of church and state’, which is the supposition that religion – as defined by whigs – has no place in the affairs of state – as defined by whigs.

                  If that sounds like a tactic adapted by a memeplex for furtively occupying sociological high ground while attacking attempts by potential rivals to do the same, that is because that’s exactly what it is.

                  Overlap of religious authority is necessarily entangled with overlap of sovereign power-sources in general; where disjunctions in operation of power-sources necessarily entail conflict, until resolution, one way or another.

                  The hierarchies of church in particular naturally must overlap with the hierarchies of ownership in general. Where one may find cases of a church hierarchy ‘crossing borders’, then either the latter or the former is a lie, belying an underlying reality.

            A note on technicalities: USMarshals are no joke, at least not yet. They have relatively high standards for applicants, some of which are long periods at one department in a section that deals with regular use of force and warrant execution, high physical fitness, multiple clean shoots, and other earmarks of decisive violence (if you want to verify what I’m saying, you have to talk to actual USM, they don’t spell it out on the website lol). There appeared to be the earliest signs of HR infiltration (their admin dept. was lousy with skinnyfats and women), but they distinguish between Office and Field such that the paper pushers are not considered Marshals in any sense (versus PD and other LEO that call the keyboard cowboys “officers”). All of this means that there aren’t a lot of them, but they are competent and effective. They get used when a target is actually dangerous, or they want the target to be considered dangerous. An near peer to the USM are the Texas Rangers.

            I babble all this unsubstantiated hearsay which is obviously artistic fiction that only a fool would consider as fact because I’ve heard multiple times that the Court System lacks an enforcement wing (no army, in other terms). This is false, and believing it would be a grave strategic mistake. SCOTUS doesn’t have an army, they have a highly trained and very capable force of experienced operators forming a paramilitary well acquainted with proto-IEW tactics. Additionally, Allied Universal holds the vast majority of court security contracts. This megacorp has a limitless supply of low iq foreign born enforcers as well as a number of contracts that… are not staffed by those guys. This is probably the stuff of novels and fantasy, but if the right combination of planners and decision makers wanted to, SCOTUS could probably creep-coup the entire federal government by turning the Court System, both physical and human infrastructure, into a network of, for lack of a better term, blockhouses. From that, they could issue edicts and gage adherence.

            Again, probably fantasy. But it is valuable to remember that there are many unconnected networks and assets just sort of laying around, waiting for someone with the network, funding, and influence to connect them together and deploy them.

              When you say Trump’s response to Covid he should have fought against lockdowns much harder but technically he only endorsed it for about a month… but with any lockdowns hard to not have had the stimulus.

              But of course by then the damage was done and the precedent was set. I like DeSantis but DeSantis wasn’t anti Covid lockdown initially either, he seemed to gets that he SHOULD HAVE been.

              But 80% of the price increases now are due to supply side problems with Biden destroying energy and diesel…

              • Whitey says:

                Trump went along with the lockdowns and, to this day, absurdly claims they “saved millions of lives.”

                There was no reason whatsoever to print trillions of dollars in response to the lockdowns. Trump could have suspended mortgage and rent payments for a few months, like with student loans, and provided food money to the poor. Instead, he suspended rent payments PLUS gave almost everyone full unemployment PLUS an extra $600/week for a year.

                Insanely stupid, and directly responsible for today’s economic mess. After Trump’s stupid $600/week bonus, employers had no choice but to raise wages. Nobody wanted to work, and who could blame them?

                • Guy says:

                  There are multiple issues here the inflation itself is coming from the covid relief money, and probably still lingering effects from the last 12 years of quantitative easing. That money printing may have happened under Trump’s watch but it is dishonest to act as though it wasn’t done by his enemies in an attempt to hurt him and his supporters. He may have had the legal power to do something about it but as we’ve seen he had no actual power to do it without comitting the violence he later showed he was unwilling to commit. But who is to blame him or the people who actually wanted to print the money?

                  Biden has done plenty to cause prices to rise but long-term the real problem is going to be the money printing.

                • Whitey says:

                  Once again, everything is someone else’s fault. Trump is never to blame, ever.

                • The Cominator says:

                  I’ve blamed Trump for a number of things but to say he did nothing good economically or in terms of forcing our enemies into the open is no more an honest and thoughful position than being a stubborn Qtard who insists that they still trust the plan and that Trump did nothing wrong.

                  But Trump is very old and seems afraid they’ll hurt his family or something, I do not think he can learn from his mistakes…

                • Whitey says:

                  > but to say he did nothing good economically or in terms of forcing our enemies into the open

                  I’ve never said that. Trump did plenty of good pre-Covid, but his Covid response wiped out his economic gains, and his abandonment of supporters on the battlefield is absolutely unforgivable. There can be no second chances for Trump after that.

                • The Cominator says:

                  I agree… but lets not sound like there was nothing good pre Covid.

                  I think his mind started slipping in 2019 btw, between his age and constant media barrages despite his economic success I think he just wasn’t the same guy anymore.

                  Another reason we need someone younger like DeSantis.

                • Whitey says:

                  > I agree… but lets not sound like there was nothing good pre Covid.

                  Again, there was some good before Covid, but his response to Covid wiped it out. And then his actions, or lack thereof, after Jan 6 were like a punch in the face to his supporters.

                  I’m seeing way too many people who are willing to crawl back to Trump like some pathetic battered wife. There were some fun times, but it’s time to move on.

      Whitey, I’ve not heard this assertion before (Trump’s inflation) and if there were any merit to it, or none at all but it was believable, wouldn’t the Left be hammering that talking point?

      Answering my own question… well, no, not if Trump caused it through Coronatarian scaremongery. They wouldn’t want to limit their own money printing operations. Is that correct?

      I fear that I am one of the Trump cheerleaders, and you kind of cut my legs out from under me with your assertion that his 2 big promises, drain the swamp and build the wall, were unfulfilled. So consider me converted on that argument. But, as I said before, unless/until Desantis puts together a Trump-level block of support and energy, what recourse do we have?

      I’m turning into a blind optimist or something, because I genuinely believe Trump has the capacity to learn from his many mistakes. I also believe that, even if he doesn’t, the net effect of a second Trump regime is positive acceleration, in that the Left drops the mask even more, and the right gets more comfortable with authoritarian forms. Would you acknowledge that this is the case, or am I off base.

      Pooch, there’s really no need to outgroup Whitey, he’s maintained an outsider position from the beginning. he doesn’t seem to be trying to introduce crypto-lefty niggory diggory, he’s just adamantly opposed to any level of support for Trump, a position I feel myself coming around to. I just assumed it was Deep State and activist leftists that turned all his efforts to shit, and that free of those influences he would have done a lot more. That very well might be cope for the fact that he was all memes and no monarchy.

            “Orange man bad”

            Not necessarily a shill payload, since you are attacking Trump from the right, for his failure to be Caesar, his failure to summon the militia and send in the drones. But it sounds mighty like a shill payload. Particularly the ludicrous accusation that Trump is an incompetent buffoon.

            Take the shill test.

            And, since you are purportedly attacking Trump from the right, tell us what he should have done. How could he have protected his supporters and survived? He would have had to have done the unthinkable. What unthinkable things should he have done?

            If Orange Man so bad, what should he have done instead of what he did do? Just copy and paste my advice to Trump, or give us your own. How should he have protected his supporters?

            What did Trump need to do instead of what he did?

            If you are one of us, you will be able to say the unthinkable and unspeakable. If an enemy passing for one of us, you will be unable to talk about what you purport to be talking about. There is a strange and suspicious gap in your rhetoric. You are not saying things that you should be saying if you believe what you say you believe. Time to say them. Are you permitted to say them?

If he had made a half assed attempt to sidle through, as our odd shill out that I so frequently let through frequently does, I would have allowed it through.

                  It was a flat out full stop refusal to commit crime thought in any way whatsover. The enemy is on to me. They can see what I am trying to do.

                  Checking his earlier posts, they look solidly reactionary but on careful inspection not. Hates blacks but no reason given. Hates the American welfare class, while failing to notice or mention the race and sex of that class. Agrees that vaccines are getting worse – which is solid evidence of being a real reactionary, because technological decline is a crimethought, at least for a lot of shills, but defends the recent (and alarmingly dangerous) polio vaccines.

                  This tells me that not all shill organizations are in denial about tech decline and the deteriorating standards for vaccines.

                Much of the difference between critique from a friend and demoralization from an enemy lies in the implications; a friend criticising a fellow will so often pose his critiques in the for of contingencies that can be overcome; whereas, someone engaging in campaigns of demoralization against an enemy, will so often pose critiques as inevitabilities inherent in the target, that can only go away when the target goes away.

                  I think Whitey makes some good points about how Trump gets a pass for things that others would be lynched for. Maybe he deserves that privilege. While the Wall and the Swamp remain outstanding promises, they are both things that could be corrected relatively quickly and relatively easily. It may be beneficial to make and circulate a checklist for what Trump, or any popular nationalist (lol), must do, at minimum, to earn and keep the loyalty of the base. Something like the shill/entryist barriers we use here. It could also be a template for a more general Based Checklist to be used on any politician/leader.

                  He opened my eyes. This country can be a lot better. It is possible to control immigration even stop it. Possible to have affordable cheap energy without this weird alternate sources. We could have all the jobs we need and bring back family and prosperity. That’s what Trump showed me. All these things can be.

                  And he exposed the corruption that is standing in the way. That media is lying to us. That there are elements within government that work against America.

                  Shilling for DeSantis? That makes no sense. I think he was shilling for normalcy bias.

                  When he was talking about DeSantis he was presupposing as shared and unquestioned consensus that politics as normal was going to continue. It is not continuing, though it is vanishing a slower, messier, and less dramatic and abrupt fashion than I predicted.

                  I expected the political elite to be suddenly and dramatically purged. Instead, all possibility of entrance to the political elite by outsiders was suddenly and dramatically shut down, but only after Ultra Maga was winning the Republican primaries. Normality was continuing, until it started to produce unacceptable outcomes.

                  So, I think that now that primaries have been locked down, and the analogous processes in the rest of the Global American Empire have been locked down, we are going to see a whole lot of shilling for normality continuing. Vote harder, whitey.

        You are off base. Trump is an incompetent buffoon who has shown no interest or ability to do the things that need to be done, and the left is not afraid of him at all. DeSantis, on the other hand, has shown he is both willing and able, and the left is actually starting to fear his competence.

Before Caesar there was Catilina, whose attempt to cross the Rubicon failed miserably, even with an army at his back.

For obvious reasons, I’m not going to be specific, but there are a number of men languishing in captivity that deserve to be released and rewarded. It is very useful to have examples to point to and say “look, see what they did, this is why they deserve what’s coming to them.”

          Trump failed to officially call out the militia. This damned him and is stain that will never wholly go away, no matter what. But the Assembled in January made the greatest error. They walked into a trap with no thought and no plan. They put themselves into a position where any mistake they made was going to greatly benefit the enemy.

      Pride month and the state religion at large is the mechanism for the elites to reduce the native population. China had the One Child Policy, our elites are trying to make us gay and live in tiny boxes. Different means to the same ends.

        But China already regretted a lot mandating one-child policy though it’s already too late to reverse it’s detrimental effects.

        In fact I can confidently say that CCP’s current problem (aging population, weak military, weak domestic economy) starts with one-child policy. GNON is paying back China double.

        • Pooch says:

          As China industrialized, the CCP had heavy incentive to cull their native population just as the West’s ruling class has heavy incentive to cull the the native population as it post-industrializes.

          Both methods of cat skinning cause huge amounts of suffering but the West’s anti fragile method of population control is the lesser of two evils.

          The CCP looks at their population as simply cattle to be exploited for resources. When the West implements factory automation over the next 20-30 years, millions of Chinese will be put out of work. Euthanasia will seriously be on the table for the CCP for what they will then consider dead weight.

              Completely and utterly disagree. Putting up with pride flags is nothing compared to the Chinese system of total control in order to enforce the one child policy.

                  This technocratic you only get one child is cruel, dystopian, and Orwellian. The idea that America is socially degenerate and China’s just a bastion of morality is a very perverse thought and naive.

                  It was cruel, dystopian, and orwellian, because they were trying to do something incoherent with divine law; fatuity is ontologically inevitable.

                  The difference is they were capable of reversing course; whereas, the GAE theocracy is incapable of reversing course, has not been so capable for decades, and indeed, by its nature, has been losing such capability starting from the very days it first came into existence.

                  They reversed course in order to restore masculinity in order to fight WWII and afterwards to replenish the population during the “baby boom”. It’s an interesting discussion if they could do that again or not to fight another World War and then replenish losses from it.

                  I agree, but it is not like they stopped because they realized this. Culling the population was simply no longer in the ruling regime’s best interest.

                  If it ever becomes in their interest again, and I postulate that it will when the West starts automating away their factory jobs, I see no reason why they won’t simply just bring back a One Child Policy or even a No Child Policy.

                  Spite isn’t the right word, or at least not the only component. It’s more a sense of relief and hope stemming from the fact that there is at least one powerful civilization left in the world where the streets of Victorian London weren’t filled with blacks, where the deer isn’t a horse. While imperfect, China is far closer to being in communion with the Gods of the Copybook Headings than the West is. Every success China has is a condemnation of the Liberal Consensus, a flashlight shined on clown world.

                  The thought of the entire planet being dominated by that consensus, free to rewrite history at will with only theory and old books to suggest that they might be wrong, horrifies me. China is -potentially- a living, breathing talisman for rightist governance among a high IQ people. Proof of concept, like the US and its sphere were for anti-Communist dissidents in the USSR. East is East and West is West, etc., and living under a system identical to China’s would not by my ideal. But I have lived in China as a guest, and I think any commenter here would be hard pressed to spend time there and not develop a measure of genuine affection for it, despite the little thing about the air being poison.

                  Obviously none of this means that the Chinese government won’t one day revert into Maoist retardation, or that they’re an ally of western reactionaries even if they don’t. One could imagine a plausible scenario where China sponsors and supports Western dissident-right factions in the not-too-distant future, but equally plausible is that if we ever got close to winning, they’d turn around and sponsor the left. A West that loses its capability to efficiently spread The Gay to the entire world and underwrite it with military & economic strength would likely be in the interests of China- a resurgent, authoritarian, martial, homogenous white West- maybe not so much.

                  China is an enemy civilization, and needs to be kept in check if not dismantled entirely, but right now they are nowhere close to an existential threat. They are instead a massive counterweight acting, somewhat, unreliably, against our current existential threat. Until they become an existential threat, and the current existential threat goes away, China is a fellow. Not a friend, but an empire eating away at the flanks of the empire that oppresses me.

                  Russia is not an enemy civilization, but a rival one. They are much further from an existential threat than China is. Not from lack of capacity, but lack of will. Should be kept in check, should not be allowed to dominate us in capacity. Russia, like China, represents a counterweight to our current existential threat. I would not think to worry about them, and I would even think to, in the short term, be allied with them, become a part of their network, if they manage to pose a serious threat to the empire that wants to cut my balls off.

                  That’s its birth rate is only 1.82 (although trending up from a low of 1.25 in 2000) shows me it still has very deep problems at a foundational level of Russian society. A non-trivial percentage of that fertility rate are Muslims who are significantly outbreeding the native white population.

                  Pretty sure our white fertility is far below 1.82, and if Russia continues on its current course Russia will rise above replacement, while if we continue on our current course it will continue to fall even further.

                  The only reason we have any fertility is that blacks, and to a lesser extent Hispanics, get an exemption from the prohibition on masculinity. Jews used to get an exemption also, but those days were a very long time ago and long forgotten.

                  “The only reason we have any fertility is that blacks, and to a lesser extent Hispanics, get an exemption from the prohibition on masculinity. Jews used to get an exemption also, but those days were a very long time ago and long forgotten. ”

                  I don’t see Xi attempting to castrate the men. Strictly limiting video game time and banning portrayals of effeminate men in media seems like the opposite.

                  China still has serious problems with feminism of course, though exponentially less than the west. A lot of it seems to stem from leftover communist ideals of egalitarianism and mobilizing every facet of The People. They have too many women in the military and the police.

                  Notably a lot of faggotry enters China not directly through western media but through our Korean convert, whose music and dramas are immensely popular there.

          The current situation of non-universal marriage with lots of women left out of the dating market because of inferior looks and personality is a superior population control measure:
          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dlxAkSjFfU

          Quality of Spouse is just as important. And naturally would tend to properly limit the population compared to alternative forms of selection like the arbitrary one child policy that had no regard for Quality at all.

          Although driving hypergamy too much is bad. But a certain controlled degree is good.

          Europe historically had high numbers of unmarried people. That contributed to its lower population pressure compared to East Asia.

            • i says:

              I didn’t lie when I cited the European Marriage pattern west of the Hajnal Line:

              “By 1650, when village reconstitution studies become sufficiently numerous to render the generality of the pattern indubitable, the average age of women at first marriage was twenty-four or over, 7 to 20 per cent of women never married, and the incidence of childbirth out of wedlock was below 3 per cent. This marital pattern restricted fertility massively. A very considerable minority of women remained single and bore no children; those who married bore none for the first ten years of their fecund life-phase, on average. If they had their last child at the age of forty, their entire reproductive careers would span roughly fifteen years, a long time by modern standards but remarkably brief in a pre-transition context. Resulting fertility was less than half the rate that would have been achieved if all women between fifteen and fifty were married. (Seccombe, 1992, p. 184)”

              https://evoandproud.blogspot.com/2011/11/western-european-marriage-pattern.html

              And I stand by my comment about how Universal marriage doesn’t have to be the way.

      Psalm 1:1: Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

      Without discernment one unconsciously absorbs the thoughts of the demonic leading to him falling astray. Quoting Orthodox Hieromonk Seraphim Rose, “the Antichrist is not to be found in the deniers, but in the small affirmers whose Christ is only on the lips.” The words of Progressives who call themselves Christian are poison, temptations of the Evil One, and should one be forced to interact with them must hold steadfast in the knowledge of God that everything they say is a lie. During a certain point in the early church, nearly every bishop was of the Arian heresy, a period known as Saint Athanasius Against the World. The church prevailed and as a result Arianism is confined to the dustbin of heresies, and in time so will Progressivism.

      I wonder if we’re cousins. Do you know which town they settled in? Now that I think about it, if blog commenting style has a genetic component, we do in fact share a penchant for rather wordy, rapid-fire posts with a literary flavor. Perhaps we were born to be Puritan preachers.

          You know, I’ve always thought the old New England WASP crew could be revived into reaction despite everything if they were forced to actually spend time in the multicultural paradise their Unitarianism has so piously created. New England is white as hell, one of the whitest places on earth. And as soon as a new, upsetting group wanders into their lilting-lilac-and-buzzing-honeybee Thoreauvian dreamworld, they are capable of hilarious levels of hate. The only place in the world, apart from Hungary and the internet, where I have heard casual, vocal antisemitism inserted into everyday conversation has been among wealthy New England Brahmins. And I have been everywhere. Guess they don’t like the competition.

          I mean, how much of the left’s outrage about Trump was simply WASPs finding his behavior downright uncouth? A lot if not most of it. (He was in fact only the third or fourth president not directly descended from WASP colonial settlers. Even Obama was on his mother’s side.)

            The best and easiest solution to your typical witchcraft crisis is simply to marry off the hysterical young girls who start them, and then determine which old bulldyke(s) and/or voodoo-practicing slaves stirred up all the nonsense to begin with, who shall of course be burnt.

            The Puritans of Salem were not quite redpilled enough, as they had too many unmarried teenage girls running around telling each other tales of magical erotic demonic beings in the mysterious forests. They were probably also shit-testing every man and then accusing those who failed of black magic. A witchcraft crisis is a sign that it’s time for a mass wedding, and maybe a burning or two as a stern reminder (to the girls) as well as dinner entertainment (for the men).

              Average age for Puritan women was early 20s, but I think this was typical of Germanic/Anglo societies as a whole.

              • ExileStyle says:

                Hence the witchcraft.

                I think they made the all-too-common mistake of believing that virginity equals both physical purity and spiritual purity. In fact it is only physical purity; female spiritual purity comes through marriage, childbearing, and obedience to her husband.

                You can see it in the glow of women who are mothers and obedient wives. There’s a peace and contentment in their eyes that comes from fulfilling their ordained role in the cosmos. There’s a reason whores and tyrant-wives to weak husbands are so viciously unhappy.

                • Pooch says:

                  There may have been a health component to the traditional Germanic practice of waiting until at least 20-21 for marriage, not feeling that a teenage mother was the optimal age for the physical demands on child labor, particularly with primitive medicine. But I think this is a case where the Romans got it right and the Germanics got it wrong.

                • ExileStyle says:

                  I wasn’t aware there was a Germanic element to it. Interesting.

                  Her age is completely impossible to identify. Is she 24 or 54? Is hers the voice of a child or a grandmother? Her facial and body gestures are all weird and off, suggesting possession. Most importantly, she’s talking about how to initiate young children into a sex cult, which she is currently doing professionally.

Like, early- to mid-career “Program Manager” nobodies doing nothing getting paid 2x-3x more than the distinguished tenured professors in some departments.

        The triumph of the Recovery was marked most clearly by the burning of the Episcopal bishop of Maine.

        She was not a particularly bad bishop. She was in fact typical of Episcopal bishops of the first quarter of the 21st century: agnostic, compulsively political and radical, and given to placing a small idol of Isis on the altar when she said the Communion service. By 2055, when she was tried for heresy, convicted, and burned, she had outlived her era. By that time only a handful of Episcopalians still recognized female clergy, it would have been easy enough to let the old fool rant out her final years in obscurity.

        The fact that the easy road was not taken, that Episcopalians turned to their difficult duty of trying and convicting, and the state upheld its unpleasant responsibility of setting torch to faggots, was what marked this as an act of Recovery. I well remember the crowd that gathered for the execution, solemn but not sad, relieved rather that at last, after so many years of humiliation, of having to swallow every absurdity and pretend we liked it, the majority had taken back the culture. No more apologies for the truth. No more “Yes, buts” on upholding standards. Civilization had recovered its nerve. The flames that soared above the lawn before the Maine State House were, as the bishopess herself might have said, liberating.

        She could have saved herself, of course, right up until the torch was applied. All she had to do was announce she wasn’t a bishop, or a priest, since Christian tradition forbids a woman to be either. Or she could have confessed she wasn’t a Christian, in which case she could be bishopess, priestess, popess, whatever, in the service of her chosen demons. That would have just gotten her tossed over the border.

        … The flames climbed fast; after all, they’d been waiting for her for a long
        time.

        When it was over, none of us felt good about it. But we’d long since learned feelings were a poor guide. We’d done the right thing

          Well we have to be those men. But the time is not ripe yet, so we have to do so underground. At some point it will be feasible to do so overground without being wacoed, but right now, waco is damn near certain.

          America finds it convenient to furtively back Isis – or rather an important faction in America finds it convenient. Without significant external backing, going overground and acting collectively would be suicidal.

          When Bronze age civilization was falling apart, the Kings of Bronze Age cities, notably Agamemnon, found it convenient to ally with the fertile, patriararchal, and patrilineal outsiders, against other Kings of Bronze Age cities. The USG backdoor alliance with Isis is a start on this.

                  McConnell tends not to be a guy who is openly the enemy of popular figures he tends to try to knife them in the back later, remember 2016 the reason Trump sort of trusted McConnell for far too long is McConnell mostly remained neutral in the 2016 election… unlike say Paul Ryan.

                  McConnell would probably be more afraid of DeSantis running the party, post summer 2020 DeSantis while he still is not super charismatic has the ruthlessness and administrative aptitude of a Stalin.. areas that Trump lacks in (and did even when he was at his best before 2019).

Best case, he gives us 8 years of stabilization and keeping leftism in check and then we get a Democrat that reverses everything he did.

                  Trump is outwardly Caesarian, which may very well be a simulation of the real thing. But there is a reason he is hated so much by his own party. He threatens permaneent Oligarchic uniparty power in a why no other Republican does.

                  Trump in power restored the red state economy. America very quickly returned to being an oil exporter, the factories started up again, the coal mines were dug once again. Upon Biden being installed, all that instantly ended.

                  Trump held the borders. The borders have now collapsed. Trump radically slowed the flood of H1Bs by ensuring that the laws on H1Bs were enforced.

                • Kunning Drueger says:

                  Both men have qualities and deficiencies. I think they teams they form are of more importance in terms of strategic reality. Trump has a quality of showmanship that can hype up massive crowds, but Desantis appears to be a leader that can build networks and get things done at the policy level.

                  Great men exist, but they never act in a vacuum. How they inspire, control, and vanquish their peers is the key to changing the course of history. It should be Trump/Desantis 2024; it would be an explicit rejection of the status quo consensus of the current Elites, sending a signal to the outsiders that the time has come to make a move. While Trump runs the hype machine, Desantis can build the necessary trust networks between the Kshatriya and Merchants that are absolutely necessary. Trump should be declared President For Life, and Desantis should be his hatchet man and strong right hand. American Monarchy is not going to be a return to the classical European forms. It needs to be something new, an old system modified and renovated for a world of high speed communication, blockchain technology, and space based dominance of the holistic battlespace.

                  Trump has too many useful idiots behind his brand to just be abandoned or re-convinced to get behind Desantis. Desantis has the competency, connections, and reputation to bring in outsider elites, which is the most important piece of this puzzle.

              Here’s an interesting perspective on Georgia’s election from a (Southern Secessionist) Georgian at the reliably based Identity Dixie: https://identitydixie.com/2022/06/04/peanut-politics-rides-again/

              Recap: Perdue is a shit campaigner, Trump pissed a lot of people off with what seemed a private vendetta, and Kemp has been a reliable Old Christian ally.

              This, combined with browsing Gab and Twitter comments of the MAGA set in Georgia (for whatever that’s worth), make me think that the fraud in the primaries was likely not quite on the industrial scale I suspected. Perdue seems to have authentically failed to communicate with voters, while Kemp has a very solid record on Christian issues, especially abortion.

              This says little about the outcome of the general, but it does provide a data point against the argument against simple central coordination by “Them.”

              Also, Romney? Not a chance. If the DC RINO class could choose, they’d probably put up someone like Ben Sasse.

                I find it almost impossible to believe that Trump won Florida by 3% and was only minorly cheated in Georgia. Georgia Fraud had to be absolutely industrial in scale, probably the biggest state by far. Also from everything I’ve heard about Atlanta hes wrong… the only problem with what Sherman did to Atlanta is that Sherman didn’t burn it enough. It should have been treated like Carthage.

                As for Florida not being a lost cause… I wish it were possible to distill the factor in Florida which makes huge %s of the minority population right wing and hostile to the Democratic party. Perhaps its because Florida has a lot of vocal right wing transplants whereas cuckservatives in other states (generally natives mostly) tend to keep silent.

                Also Kemp isn’t the biggest aspect of fraud since Kemp’s involvement in the fraud was I agree minimal, but the main issue is Raffensperger… I just cannot believe he who was DEEPLY involved in the fraud won a Republican primary even an open one.

There is obviously going to be an even more colossal red wave in the coming election, and they are just not going to allow it to have effect. They did not allow it to have effect in the Republican primaries, except in the earliest ones, and even less are they going to allow it to have effect in November.

                  The Republic is over, and trying to restore it is just going to rewalk the path that the Roman republicans walked. Everything they did just gave them an even more broken Republic, and in the end, they got killed. A Republic only works with elite virtue.

                  Does it suck?

                  Yes, but as we saw in Rome, sucks less than the last days of the Republic. Only a reasonably virtuous King armed with a reasonably sane state Church (and we have no guarantee of either outcome, but I have high hopes) can restore elite virtue, and the process requires many generations.

                  Right. Back to basics. Important to hear sometimes. The backsliding in the comments to excessive concern for the details of American electoral politics and fraud – and I’m as guilty as anyone – might come from a mixture of patriotic pride instilled in childhood and youth (for those of us who grew up in Real America) to a lingering phantom-limb sensation of the hope that Trump inspired in many of us.

                  Goes back also to the “Wait, What Was Grandpa Fighting For?” phenomenon. My pre-redpill roots are in good old-fashioned Federalist Papers, Teary-Eyed Star-Spangled Banner Americanism. There’s still a part of me that feels instinctually traitorous to my ancestors in even countenancing the idea of allowing the Republic to die, although I recognize rationally this choice was made long before me and is simple settled fact now.

The Puritans were the most virtuous Christian people ever and created the most virtuous Christian society ever. A Republic can only follow from that. And it was that Republic that conquered the world and put man on the moon.

                  As that society became more technologically advanced through an industrial society and now a post-industrial society that Puritan virtue naturally dissipated and now we are running on their fumes and yet the fumes of Puritan virtue is still better than the rest of the world.

                  That’s a really interesting topic, and one where Jim and Moldbug diverge in a slight but crucial way, with Moldbug focusing more exclusively on American Harvard Puritans and a straight line from them to us, whereas Jim’s recurrent points of reference tend to be developments on and surrounding the English throne.

                  Harvard did not really spiral out of control until the 19th century. Until the 1750s/60s, and really through and even after the Revolution, Americans conceived of themselves as a subset of Englishmen with a special relationship to Providence.

                  The first settlers came to Mass. before Cromwell arose, remember, and the Mass. Bay Colony (as opposed to Plymouth Colony) was conceived of as completely loyal to the King and established with a royal charter. A literal “purification” of the Church of England rather than your usual protestant separatist sectarianism.

                  There was clearly a strain of heresy in Cambridge and Boston that led to Emerson and the Unitarians et al. and, now, Globohomo and GAE, but as far as the history of nations go, a solid 200+ years of virtuous elite is pretty astonishing. (They remained personally virtuous much longer, just accidentally released Hegelian Progressive demons.)

                  But I would not wholesale reject moldbug’s reading of Harvard as a particularly Puritan phenomenon – just one strain of it which was corrupted by reading too much German and English Romantic philosophy and poetry in the early 19th century, when Christ and His Precious Blood were replaced with Hegelian Progressivism, in both America and Europe.

                  2- Puritans have No/little decedents.

                  The first point is some what arguable, puritains certainly
                  were fighting and holy spiralling but I think also sincere and virtuous.

                  The link you give attributes Silicon Valley to a bunch of nonentities who had nothing to do with it. Bardeen did not invent the transistor, and Noyce did not found Silicon Valley. It is a radical rewrite of history to write capitalism and entrepreneurship out of technology. There are several such radical rewrites. The usual one is to write up Hewlett and Packard as a creation of Harvard. This is a rather more radical rewrite, unpersoning everyone who mattered. Each rewrite gets more drastic than the last. It is the same stuff as the shill rewrite on Musk as a capitalist parasite than the government gave some of its vast store of magic space technology to. If we settle Mars, he will be a deemed a parasite. If the colony takes off, and Harvard survives, it will write him out of the history of the colony altogether, and have it totally created by NASA scientists and government technology.

                  Hewlett and Packard founded Silicon Valley, and Shockley invented the transistor – Silicon valley was the creation of entrepreneurs, not the creation of universities far far away.

                  And aside from academics having nothing to do with the story, except in the sense that a lot of the key entrepreneurs, notably Shockley himself, were refugees from academia, an academia deeply hostile to their ideas and accomplishments, that some scribbler no one has heard of claims credit for something vaguely explained has little relevance to the question of whether the Puritans had a significant number of biological descendants.

                  Lets not drink the Harvard kool-aid here. Certainly the Puritan was smart, industrious, and warlike, and the country benefitted immensely from correct economic policy (let capitalism roll as it will sans much regulation at all). But it is not as though American engineering was better than German or English engineering. Credit where credit is due. But contemporary observers from Europe saw the early American as greedy, materialistic, humorless, unlearned, aesthetically and spiritually barren, and destructively morally self-righteous. And I see the exact same traits in the upper-middle class American today. I align, living in the Northeast, with Jim’s opinion that Harvard and the Harvard religion has not changed very much at all in its essence despite its ideas undergoing radical metamorphosis.

                  Unfortunately the former group was the one that ended up in power… they were not so toxic as leaders early on… but once they were converted to a much worse religion they brought their self righteous nature to imposing the much worse religion.

                  The progeny of Jonathan Edwards, prominent Puritan preacher of the 18th century, is quite impressive.

                  If John Edwards had two surviving children, and each of his children had two surviving children, he would now have 7000 decendants. The study says he has “more than 1400”

                  Given that he was at the center of the power that now rules the world, one would expect a fair number of those to show up, and his descendants would be considerably less likely for them to lose track of than those of Jukes, but they tracked Jukes as having a roughly comparable number of descendants to Edwards. So it is not a whole lot more than 1400

                About that website identity dixie… Is it reliable? I am asking because just I discovered it just a few days ago, when one of its author, who supposedly was deployed in Afghanistan, wrote an interesting post on gab:
                He claims the US Army has a brigade of fag missionaries solely dedicated to convert locals to globohomo. Something we all know, but of which I never had any direct report. He is claiming that those missionaries require mandatory classes for children in exchange of aid. During these classes they teach faggotry and sex, including the iconic condom on the banana.
                The author also claims that the practice of “Bacha bazi” (adult men dressing young boys as women and then sodomizing them) had been forbidden by the Talibans, but immediately reinstated during American occupation.

                  I had not heard about the fag warriors in such specific detail. I imagine it was a secret program. Scandalous and repulsive if not surprising. For those who do not want to click through, here is what the editor of Identity Dixie wrote:

                  In 2018, we had PRTs in Afghanistan that included “Gender Empowerment” Specialists. We would arrive in a village and a Gender “warrior” (the name they gave themselves) – usually a butch lesbian or an extremely flamboyant gay male – would hold mandatory classes as a condition of local subsidies. Classes included teaching Afghan children that it is “OK to be gay,” “parents have no right to assign your gender,” and “women have the right to say no to their husbands.” Stuff like that – in a traditional Muslim country. They taught boys how to safely put a condom on other boys. In 2019, Trump’s DOD made them the highest paid variant of in-country contractor. The original program began in 2007.

                  For those hoping the military will “rise up,” be careful what you wish. The military is deeply invested in the total dismantlememt of traditional Americana. They are almost as bad as police officers. Secession in its totality is the only way.

          If Republicans have anything to do with it, it would be. I much doubt that Republicans are going to have much to do with it.

          The USG is patting itself on the back that Republicans accepted rigged primaries, which is sort of true.

          If they have accepted rigged primaries, they will go on getting rigged primaries. Republican grifters think that if they go along with the rigging, they will be spared. I doubt that they are correct. The self congratulation that I am hearing about grifters capitulating tells me that further capitulation will be demanded. Any concession to the enemy is always treated as a down payment on the next concession, and the demands for concession are rapidly escalating and accelerating.

          • Karl says:

            How would non-acceptance of rigged primaries have looked like and what could it have achieved?

            The primaries (rigged or not) can’t produce a Caesar. Anything short of a Caesar will be an insufficient answer to NGO and government violence. Unless there is reason to believe that a threat of violence can be met with sufficient violence, accepting any demands does not seem unreasonable.

            At present, accepting rigged elections and getting out of election politics entirely seems to be the only reasonable reaction for a man who has no chance of becoming a Caesar or at least a Stalin.

              Early in the primary season, the primaries were not rigged. When the state saw which way the wind was blowing, locked down entry to the political elite world wide – not just Republicans, the entire USG hegemony everywhere.

                Elections are fake in USG hegemony client-states. An election in Australia is equivalent to Rome granting King Herod power over Judea.

      • Kunning Drueger says:

        This may be misplaced optimism, but I don’t think we should count Trump out yet. Hard to remember the savvy businessman with all the detritus of his failure to counter the coup. And 2020 was a coup, as in a cadre of liberal reactionaries built a massive confederation around the anti-Trump banner. I don’t think they can do it again, because he’s been deemed “mitigated” and the confederation dissolved on 07 January.

        If Trump is a low IQ moron, he will just try to repeat 2016 and split the Kingdom of MAGA between himself and Desantis. This is what the Octogenarian class wants, or needs more like, to happen. If he’s smart, he will convince Desantis to be his VP with explicit messaging regarding Desantis’ coronation after Trump’s triumphant comeback. T/D ticket would be big joojoo and would force a steal to rival 2020. Personally, I hope this happens. The solid 30% that is Trump’s loyal base and the forces of the Prince of Florida would be an impressive array of Elites, veterans, and political foot soldiers.

        If there’s any way to avoid the coming collapse, it probably runs through some sort of massive social upheaval. This is probably hoping for too much, but suppose the Left underestimates T/D and relies on their 2020 mule tactics. Further imagine that the T/D campaign gets good guidance and leadership from the Theil crowd and other hungry elites scattered throughout Conservatism Inc., and they actually adapt and plan for a steal. The right collection of Elites, merchants and warriors and priests, working together towards taking power is the closest thing to an actual precursor to Restoration possible. Trump as Julius, Desantis as Octavian.

        It’s farfetched, to be sure.

          Trump and DeSantis are both very smart men.

          But in order to use smarts effectively, have to be in contact with reality. Can they free themselves from normalcy bias? Julius Caesar failed to do it, and Augustus Caesar was trying to keep a dead zombie republic shambling around. Even though his first step on the road to power was to reactivate the psychological mechanisms of Kingship and aristocratic governance he did not attempt to build governmental and state cohesion on that sturdy material, instead keeping the washed up remnants of an utterly decadent aristocracy and republic hanging around, with the result that the Roman state remained a string of sand for centuries.

            I’ve been impressed lately that DeSantis seems to have gotten ruthless enough.

            • ExileStyle says:

              DeSantis has been ruthless from the get-go, and is a far more effective executive than Trump every was or could ever be. He also seems to be a leap in being IQ-wise. Apart from mouthing the necessary money-lines to the Israel lobby (I’d do it for tens of millions of dollars, too), he has none of that pathetic need to be loved by women, liberals, and queers that every other Republican has, Trump definitely included.

              He’s pushing the envelope in ways that Trump never did. And he almost never loses a battle. Trump never did nor would have moved against Faggot, Inc. like DeSantis has. I’ve written before and I continue to believe that DeSantis could be The Real Deal, if he wanted to be.

          • Kunning Drueger says:

            Maybe it’s the storytelling faggot in my brain, but a creeping realization is far more dramatic.

            Trump moves his residence to Arizona or Virginia; they announce their campaign but fail to indicate who is topping the ticket; both start running seemingly independent, what appear to be presidential campaigns, going so far as to playfully jab at each other as if it’s not decided who’s going to top the ticket; they deploy different strategies, building off each other’s successes and avoiding traps and mistakes that snare the other; everyone is crying foul, no one seems to know what’s going on; the official filing has some clerical issue and the MSM declares that they’re both ineligible(!), but the backlash is severe and a week later, it’s forgotten; officially, it’s Trump for P and Desantis for VP, but the dance continues as if a vote for Trump or Desantis is a vote for based²; the GAE pulls out all the stops, mass shootings, riots, foreign skullduggery, but it all rebounds on Biden, who’s absolutely shitting the hospice bed as he can’t keep straight who he’s competing against and Kamala, safe from replacement with her much used vagina and melanin exemption cards, seems to like this idea of sidestepping into presidential power and her characteristic nightmare campaign basically adds a fourth contender; assassination attempts, real and imagined, are not even headline news anymore, street violence is the norm with dozens dying each week; the 4chan machine is working overtime right alongside the MSM, muddying the waters and escalating expectations beyond the highest theoretical autism levels; we roll into October and there’s talk of Emergency Measures, Countermeasures, a new middle powers war between Pakistan and the Taliban explodes…

            Trump sits alone, a solitary man with no friends and millions of followers. He’s holding an airplane bottle of Freddy’s favorite scotch. The room is quiet with soft, tungsten light dripping from the indirect sconces. There’s no pale blue glow from computers, no buzzing phones, no muted voices from diligent underlings. Just a man and his memories, contemplating an uncertain future…

            A furtive knock brings him back to the moment. He calls out an affirmation and a door opens behind him, unleashing a deluge of voices and the din of a front line war room, before closing again with a heavy thud. It’s Desantis.

            “Mr. President…”

            Trump smiles and turns. “Mr. President.” He rises and extends his hand as both men chuckle and clasp palms.

            “They’ll never let us in, Don. Not after what we’ve done to them this past year.”

            “Don’t be such a pussy, Ron. They won’t have a choice.”

            There’s no insult in the statement, and no spite in response. Desantis sits after Trump’s gesture and pulls out his own airplane bottle, a cheap Russian vodka. Trump removes his own and sets the scotch on the table. There’s something final in the muted click of the bottle making contact with the well varnished wood.

            “Don, it’s not really up for debate-”

            “Everything is up for debate! The whole point of this circus is the fact that everything is on the table!”

            The joviality is gone. This is a conversation that’s been unpacking itself over months, maybe years. Trump’s mask is back on in a blink, and Desantis clocks this.

            “Hey, boss, it’s me. I’m not raining on your parade, I’m telling you there’s a fucking hurricane on the way. They won’t let us in. My guys are certain. The Joint Chiefs signed The Document three hours ago, they’re just waiting for their perfect moment. If we keep going on like this, they’re gonna get it, and there’s not a damn thing the American people can-”

            “I believe in the people. I believe in this country. You know where I stand… and don’t curse, you sound like a lobbyist.”

            Desantis smiles wryly and waits. He sees something new on the visage of this man no one knows. Trump stairs a thousand miles through the amber liquid, thinking of all that has come before, all the wins and blunders and bodies that have led up to this moment. Desantis’ face hardens into its own mask, a twisted visage of pure hatred and calculated determination.

            “They won’t let us in, Don. We have to go in. We have to take it from them. We have to rip it away from them and break their fingers while we do it.”

            Trump’s mask has slipped, and a careworn visage of pain and despair ebbs through a weariness so complete Desantis is taken aback.

            “Don? Are you ok?”

            “How could I be, Ron? They’re turning me into the villain, one way or another. I’m so… I’m so damned tired forcing people to let me help them.”

            “You’re not giving up on me, are you Don?”

            The sadness abates, and the unlikely King looks up.

            “I don’t know how to give up. What’s our next step?”

            “We play dumb, keep glad handing and jet setting like we’re on top of the world. Flynn has a skeleton team already in the Bunker, he can go loud in 12 hours. The details will be swapped out in phases over the next 24 hours, and in 72, the boltholes and safehouses will be secured…”

            Trump is following but he’s elsewhere. Desantis covers a few more points, outlining a dramatic transformation from campaign machine into a machine for a Campaign.

            “The only missing piece is the… Entourage…” Desantis studies the response to this. Trump considers for a long beat, then reaches out “Let me see your phone, the clean one.” Desantis pulls an archaic flip phone from inside his sport coat. Without hesitation, Trump punches in a number then puts the handset to his ear, fixing his gaze upon Desantis. The earpiece leaks digital ringing cut off by a muffled “Hello?”

            “Eddie! It’s Donald! How’re Andrea and the kids?” He pauses “That’s great Eddie, really, really great. Listen. How quickly can you come see me? I got a plane on standby, a big, beautiful 757, American made, and I want you on it and out here. What? No, just you this time, Eddie. We’ll send it back for the family. Listen, Eddie. I’ve got a deal to go over, really big stuff, stuff I can handle, but I’ve always appreciated you, and I want you to look at this deal, and I want to hear what you think. Yeah. Yeah, Eddie, it’s a big deal. Biggest deal ever. Yeah. Yeah, I really think it’s best to get this one done quick. Ok. Ok, Eddie, that’s great! Looking forward to seeing you in a few hours. Take care, and tell the kids I apologize I apologize but I need their Dad right next to me. Uh huh. Yeah. See you soon Eddie.”

            He is not ditching those who went to prison for him, though he failed to grant them pardons while president.

            The only way he could have retained power was if some of his supporters nailed some of his enemies, with confidence that they would get off if caught. He failed to give them that confidence, but that would have been a mighty big step.

                Pretty much agree with this.
                I liked Trump and wanted to believe in him in the way Jim did. But I was always sceptical he could pull it off.

                The issue is, Trump is a boomer and he really thinks like one. He believes in an America that doesn’t exist anymore.
                He can’t cross the Rubicon because that would mean giving up the United States that exists in his frame of mind. He can’t step out of that dream.

                Someone who is willing to betray that vision of the United States as the place of “rule of law” (however paradoxical that concept is to begin with) must not be looking at the US from the 20th century as his ideal.
                It has to be someone willing to desecrate that, or accept that it has been desecrated beyond repair.
                Someone either still fairly young today, or someone from outside.

                Boomers can be very conservative because they remember what things were like 50+ years ago. But I think that may be the wrong place to look.

                  Someone very creative is due soon. The boomers I know do not have much creativity in them, their values are centered around consumption.

                  Those that came after the boomers could not beat them at their game, so they had to make their own way. The failures of the boomers hit their kids hard, but the ones that are still in the fight are going to be much more oriented around what they are producing than what they are consuming.

                  Gen-x and older millennials get a lot of hate for being losers and generally just beat down by the boomers, but i expect quite a few of them will make the most of what’s left, and do a better job at leaving some good behind than than the boomers did.

No one else has the influence, support, and opportunities, AND is also actively seeking power. I genuinely hope that changes, but as of now there don’t seem to be any based and redpilled billionaires trying to take power, so we have to make do with Trump.

                  Articles similar to this one had come out indicating that Tucker Carlson was behind the change in tone from Trump. This article frames it ask Tucker was honestly concerned about the virus and Trump’s dismissiveness. I think I had just been reading speculation around what his true motives could be, but I don’t have anything solid there.

                  However now that it’s been a couple of years and I am rereading this article I’m actually way more suspicious of Tucker now.

      The gutless cowards in the US military enabled Bacha bazi in Afghanistan and now the same thing is happening in our own country. My Grandfather’s generation would have fragged their officers over such orders, but the men who join the military today are faggots.

      • Pax Imperialis says:

        Bacha bazi was common in Afghanistan for hundreds of years. US Mil didn’t really care about Afghanistan, they just wanted to go in, wreck shit, and then wash hands. It was State/Bush/Obama who wanted to stay.

        Two main reasons why bacha bazi resurfaced under US occupation.

        US Mil (with Pentagon and Generals being the exception) didn’t give a damn about a hostile shit hole and so never really cared to enforce order.

        US Mil has perfected the art of training grunts (and Officers) to follow orders. So when command gave the orders to turn a blind eye, they mostly did so. It helps that many grunts would have been more inclined to shoot the general Afghan population than to help. Prolonged warfare and IEDs do that to a man.

        Most fragging during your Grandfather’s generation had to do with US leadership’s high levels of disregard over the survival of the grunts, often ignoring the reality on the ground and sending men into suicidal missions. Fragging had little to do with the morality of the hostile Vietnamese. US Mil blatantly ignored many similar immoral acts of the South Vietnamese government of which US grunts happily ignored as well. Many US soldiers even took part in that era’s excesses… Something the US and Vietnamese governments are very happy to bury.

        Most likely your Grandfather’s generation would not have fragged their Officers over Bacha bazi had they fought in Afghanistan. They would have been disgusted by it, but ultimately it wasn’t their fight and would have been happy to turn a blind eye.

        • Red says:

          I don’t think you understand how men react when they’re backuped with a shared faith that commands them to kill those who harm children. Most men today don’t feel that God has their back, but back in WW2 they shot surrendering German SS officers without blinking an eye.

          • Pax Imperialis says:

            I don’t think you understand how men who share a faith usually don’t care about the well being of a hostile heathen tribe who is trying to kill them. I’m not condemning that, it’s natural, but you seem to be rather naive about what happens during wars.

            The Germans were recognizable as fellow Christians and Whites. The crimes of the SS felt distinctly close to home and personal. The Afghans and Vietnamese were not recognizable.

            You talked about fragging which is a Vietnam era problems. Most incidents of fragging during that war happened when grunts felt like their CO was shit and disregarding their lives by being too eager/suicidal to fight the enemy.

            Ever hear about My Lai? No one ever fragged 1st LT Calley. Many US soldiers were happy to indulge in the rape and slaughter. USG was very happy to memory hole that incident and the LT mostly avoided legal problems after USG intervention in the trial. Many similar incidents. South Vietnam had large numbers of child brothels operating near US bases with mostly trafficked children some of them boys, often visited by US service members which US Mil decided to turn a blind eye to.

          • The Cominator says:

            The SS tended to be singled out to be shot out of hand when taken prisoner after the word of the Malmedy massacre (there were apparently even oral orders for a week afterwords that no SS prisoners were to be taken) got out, and also probably after the liberation of Dachau (and whether you think the holocaust was exagerated or not it genuinely disgusted the troops who found it). I’m not sure until Malmedy to what extent the average American soldier considered SS men different than any other “Krauts”. I’ve watched WWII propaganda films from the time, I haven’t found one pre war that especially singles out the Waffen SS.

            Vietnam was probably an especially frustrating war to be a combat trooper in, conscript troops generally being subject to being killed more often in ambushes or via booby traps than conventional fighting (though conventional fighting happened too) by a pretty competent enemy (which the Islamics despite winning by default never really were) with a strategy that you couldn’t win in, all in boiling hot and humid weather… so yes in Vietnam people going “lets do the whole fucking village” was a bit more common than with most US wars.

    Video on problems with US Army’s NEW IHPS Helmet
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoZBTSB49Pc

    A commenter states:
    “Besides the protection issue, the helmet just sucks. Got issued one via RFI and I still prefer the ACH. The IHPS has brittle plastic on it that breaks all the time, the NVG mount is out of spec and requires a ton of tape to stop ratting. Additionally with even just a pvs14 mounted it becomes super unbalanced and the strap adjustment is garbage. Why the army didn’t just adopt a 3M highcut is beyond me, but it probably has something to do with some field grade’s OER.”

    As I’ve pointed out previously, DoD is having major problems with the acquisition workforce aging out:
    https://blog.reaction.la/war/russians-stupidly-and-stubbornly-persisting-with-world-war-ii-blitzkreig-in-the-ukraine/#comment-2838866

    They openly acknowledge this here:
    https://www.dau.edu/library/arj/ARJ/arq2001/gill.pdf

    The problem has gotten significantly worse since 2001. Proposed solutions were to:
    1) Implement financial incentives aimed at retaining older workers.
    2) Recruit recently retired workers.
    3) Institute a recruitment program aimed at college students.

    1 and 2 was largely successful, but that has just kicked the can down the road. The workforce is even older today.
    3 has been lackluster, and as I’ve mentioned it has resulted in fast tracking recent graduates into much higher positions than normal. That may have lead to a competence issue.

    At current trends US Mil likely only has a decade left of somewhat functional/competent logistics, although that’s largely dependent on coasting off of the preexisting aging logistics workforce.

    A future Caesar is going to inherent a seriously depleted military force. He will likely need a private logistical supply chain as the government may not have a functional one. The good news is that the military will likely still have plenty of warm bodies to compensate.

    Jim, wondering your opinion on a modern network secure ‘stack’ for general purpose and easily replicated use. Which computing and networking hardware, which operating system, which anonymizing techniques of accessing the internet at large, and so on.

        > You are asking me if there is a ready to roll solution for a very hard problem.

        I realized this in the asking. It’s also, due to the nature of the question, imprudent to simply ask for what you use for your own stack.

        I like qubes. I am not in a position to bless it beyond claiming I use it. I also like to flash the firmware and install coreboot, and I really should destroy or remove the wifi/bluetooth hardware, but I have not. Do not trust it like my air gapped rig, which I also do not trust except that it’s the least likely of my machines to talk to someone. I suspect intel chips are chatty, but I also suspect the operating system has something to do with their ability to chat, and the binary blobs used for bootloading, and their specific cryptographic instruction set, which I need to research more to examine code I like for calls to such. For my very valuable private keys, airgapped machine.

        I am still very much a novice in understanding cryptography and network security, and rely mostly on my sense of what *seems* trustworthy through metadata about the recommendation, but slowly I am teaching myself. Fortunately, I do not have any missiles, that I know of, pointed in the general direction of my head, but unfortunately it is very hard in the same way to get any signal my setup has meaningfully improved in its resistance.

        • jim says:

          One gets a hint from known attacks and known backdoors. They tend to be less and less sophisticated, hinting at a massive regression in NSA capabilities. I am unaware of any recent very clever attacks. Maybe they are so clever that I am unaware of them, or maybe what happened to NASA is happening to the NSA.

          The Chinese network penetration effort relies on forcing companies to install obvious spyware in their networks. Which is easily evaded. They also send spearfishing emails with executable attachments to targets of particular interest. Not a terribly sophisticated attack. If you can see it coming, they have given you data about themselves, and you only leak to them what you want them to know.

          With an active attack that you have detected, the attacker has revealed something about himself, and you now have a channel with which to feed the attacker hostile data. If you know or plausibly suspect the software the attacker is using to analyze the data he is collecting, and you have or can steal a copy of that software, you can usually find flaws or bugs that enable your hostile data to take over the enemy’s computer systems.

          Android/Google/Windows/Skype simply upload your data in the clear to the cloud, you can opt out, though they make it hard to opt out. Duh. Is this the NSA that backdoored everyone’s Wifi, everyone’s intel cpu, and got every WordPress installation to upload the email addresses of every commenter to a central server in elaborately encrypted and obfuscated form to hide what they were up to?

          We are seeing increasing reliance on social engineering and social pressure, less and less reliance on arcanely cleverly cryptographic attacks like the WordPress attack and the Wifi attack. The height of NSA clever cryptographic attacks was the NIST attack. It starts to look as if the NSA is coming down with the same disease as NASA.

          Most of the encryption algorithms employed by SSH are known to backdoored, but we can be pretty sure that most of holes require some form of active attack, and the NSA is reluctant to use active attacks widely, because such attacks are apt to leak information about the attacker.

          I and others recommend that you turn off in sshd_config all cryptographic algorithms other than those least likely to have backdoors.

          nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
          Your config file should have in it

          HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
          ciphers chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com
          macs hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com
          kexalgorithms curve25519-sha256
          pubkeyacceptedkeytypes ssh-ed25519
          hostkeyalgorithms ssh-ed25519
          hostbasedacceptedkeytypes ssh-ed25519
          casignaturealgorithms ssh-ed25519

          Not all ssh servers recognize all these configuration options, and if you give an unrecognized configuration option, the server dies, and then you cannot ssh in to fix it. But they all recognize the first three, HostKey, ciphers, macs which are the three that matter the most.

          Anything openssl is probably bad. Anything NIST is definitely bad. Openssh not necessarily bad. openssh ed25519 probably good.

          SSL has a well known low tech attack that enables any sufficiently powerful adversary to impersonate any server, but it is an active attack that leaks information about the attacker.

          It is also known to have an unknown passive backdoor, that renders information going over ssl vpns visible to the NSA by passive attack, but probably not to other security agencies. We know the information is leaking, and we know the openssl cryptographic library smells funny, but no one can point to a specific identifiable backdoor in it. This gives us reason to distrust any product that uses the openssl cryptographic library. Anyone that uses openssl is hostile to you.

          Wireguard is believed to work, and is now being widely offered by vpn services. I am worried about the fact that wireguard uses the SALT cryptographic library for some things, but it is using it for less and less and less things. Maybe someone is on the job. The SALT library is not known to be bad, but it has a funny smell. NIST definitely known to be bad with identified backdoors, Openssl known to be bad, but the state of our knowledge of its backdoors is complex and full of fog of war.

          I am suspicious of NOISE – which is a great algorithm, but is designed to be implemented on top of other cryptographic libraries, and if you integrate with the standard branch of NOISE, you integrate with a pile of other people’s cryptographic libraries, among them SALT, which is not exactly suspect, but fails to inspire confidence. Noise on top of a cryptographic library that has not been backdoored is fine.

          Most enemy data analysis software uses shotgun parsing written in C which is very vulnerable to bugs and flaws that make it easy for hostile data to take control. Haskell is somewhat protective against shotgun parsing, and Rust and Haskell are protective against the kind of bugs and flaws that allow hostile data to get control. If your data analysis software is potentially exposed to hostile enemy data, it needs to be written in Rust or Haskell.

    Let’s talk about “isolated leaders”, and what that’s really about, both as a reality and as an accusation.

    When the Rus-Ukr war started, The Words were all about how Putin was “isolated”, holed up in his dacha somewhere, with only 4-5 people to talk to.

    For China, Zeihan the Deep State Homo does this schtick that there’s no one left over there to give President Xi bad news, so he was completely unaware of the electricity blackouts last year for many months, for example.

    Meanwhile over here, The Regime describes itself as populous and diverse, full of Qualified Expert dissent and foment, to the point that the President isn’t even necessary anymore, but I see a different kind of “isolation” at work. A superstadium full of diverse hyper-conformists, sealed off from the outside, all agreeing with each other, and not one of whom will suffer for being dead wrong about anything.

    So according to Jimmic Analysis, how do we describe the elements and factors necessary for a rulership that is receptive and reactive to bad news from outside itself? What is that?

    I can’t finish the puzzle myself, but surely Rule by Warriors, but under a shared and sincere faith, are parts of it. The Bible is full of vignettes where the Big Guy gets chewed out by a Holy Deplorable and changes his ways at the last minute.

      It is just a variant of kings versus civil servants.

      Kings are incentivized to care because they are both considered responsible and suffer the effects of their actions. Experts are civil servants who can’t be fired so their incentive is to tell everyone how important their field is and make things worse in order to get people to pay attention. Combined with the state religion and meritocracy meaning people are hostile to those who are more competent you get our current crop of open malice.

      As for shared faith being necessary, there is the famous tale of Jonah where he goes to the king of Assyria (a foreign land hostile to Israel)… and the king listens to him. Or the waring states where a hundred schools of thought contended.

      I think the key element is instability- people who know the current situation isn’t going to last are very open to listening about how to change it into a form more in their favor.

      • Kunning Druegger says:

        But instability is a curse, giving malign factions the opportunity to insinuate themselves into the system and begin St. John’s Immediacy Necessity cycle (just this one time, because circumstances are so severe, we do this thing we aren’t supposed to do). Stability should be the goal of any monarch, meaning the danger becomes calcification and malaise.

        If we look at the Clerical Oligarchy as something that could be corrected (it cannot for spiritual reasons, so this is purely metaphor), the issue seems to be runaway delegation. Putting one man in charge of Border Security is good and natural, but he will delegate away the unglamorous maintenance stuff, focus on the things that bring him prestige, and give the plum positions to friends and disciples. Each, in turn, will do the same. Soon, things are worse, and the only solution is to put another man in charge of another thing, and the cycle continues.

        Is there a structure, some kind of program, that could be deployed to curtail bureaucratic sprawl? To MG’s original topic, the isolation element is not cut and dried. Too isolated, and you get a blind fool surrounded by Yes Men. To open, and you get wave after wave of entryist. There is no perfect program out there, and the pursuit of perfection is a leftist game. But there are plenty of examples of Good Enough For The Situation. I think a well constructed map of What Needs Doing in terms of geopolitical necessity and domestic wellness could be a good template for the structure of Modern Monarchy with the precepts of Throne, Altar, Freehold as the core, inviolate principles to dictate reasonable boundaries for reasonable management.

          “Is there a structure, some kind of program, that could be deployed to curtail bureaucratic sprawl?”

          This whole problem of delegation is a serious problem of political science. My impression is that current political scientists don’t say much about it, or not nearly as much as they should. Doubtless this is because Poli Sci is so very left-leaning, and leftists don’t see the idea of a lawless, unaccountable, out-of-control government bureaucracy as a bad thing.

          I don’t have a solution, though one notes that the smaller is the government, the smaller this problem is – there’s a bit of the ol’ libertarian rearing its head.

            “A DIVINE-RIGHT MONARCHY”

            But that doesn’t solve the problem in detail. It’s one thing for the King to say (for example) “The bureaucratic agencies cannot expand their number of employees without my explicit permission,” but how could he enforce that? He can’t go around paying random visits to the Dept of Transportation to make sure that only the right number of guys show up for work every day or whatever. And if he farms out this job to someone else, then… he’s delegating.

            So it comes down to the entryist/infiltration problem again. Seriously hard problem of Poli Sci/Organizational Behavior. And of course it’s nowhere on conventional Poli Scientists’ research agenda because they’re leftists and entryism is one of the left’s main tactics.

                The King needs to be able to execute the vizier because he does not like the cut of his trousers, and the Inquisition monitors the fidelity of those with state and quasi state jobs to the state religion, while the actual enforcement and muscle backing the inquisition remains directly under the authority of the King. The universities are directly under Church authority, but the inquisition can merely fire them on its own authority. Grilling them under torture requires the will of the high priest and Caesar.

    I know seasteading was a pipe dream because, for all their talk, they were basically just a semi-libertarian cruise liner that wanted to camp out in the shallow seas and leach off developing countries in the Asian Pacific. But a network of launch/catch facilities would provide excellent jobs, massive stimulus to multiple industries, and launch facilities have to be well maintained and well protected as well as perform their ops safely, so of course there’d be all forms of C&C gear and missile defense systems. It would be like the petroleum extraction build up, massive development and progress with a need for the best technicians and programmers and smart labor.

They’ve all had experience effecting outcomes in the future in an institutional sense, but they also carry the weight of the current crop of Elites.

        The big systems are dinosaurs, so the mammals have to wait for a Chicxulub event or figure out how to operate in the presence of monsters. I think Musk might have it in him to be blindly optimistic, and I get the vibe, for whatever that’s worth, that he is not constrained by the current social hierarchy. I bet he believes he has a shot at King of Space so his son has a shot at King of Mars. Enough charisma and success, you’ll get sycophants and supporters in droves. For all the Twitter controversy, he’s still the embodiment of the quiet fantasy of all engineers, field scientist, and technicians: an Engineer Monarch.

        It also gives Petroleum Extraction Industry a seat at the table of space industry, an important and necessary step to Sol System expansion. The sooner the best minds in mineral/material extraction get paired up with rocketry nerds, the sooner we get Skunkworks with tattoos, family, and faith. I’m taking Zeihan at his word here, but I find it pretty believable that the wildcat, small firm, and independent operators working with shale have been optimizing the fuck out of subsurface sensors, finer manipulation of remote tools, robots, drones, actual Things Internet (IoT is a terrible term).

        Anecdotally, Petroleum dudes are white, black, and mestizos, but all the upper level stuff is white guys with their usual list of international sidekicks. Multiple YouTube videos comparing the work and workers on American sites v. Russian, Chinese, etc. seem to demonstrate there’s a lot of experience and discipline in the American oil industry.

          The fact that people are acting against their long-term interests in accordance with a demonic faith is the while matter of the problem.

          Take the brainless response in the occident to the Special Military Operation for example; everything from impounding yachts of questionable chains of ownership to pouring out vodka; anything anyone at any point in life can do to stick a finger in the infidel’s eye, they’ll do.

          The point isn’t necessarily to say this is always effective, or even effectively done to begin with, it is point out that this is what is done, the state of affairs to be accounted for; where someone like Musk is concerned about rising above the gnostic empire if and or when it proves ultimately incompatible with their vision of advancing occidental civilization, they need to be thinking about how to deal with the matter of them and everything connected to them coming under attack of damnatio memoriae in every facet of life in the occupied occident.

              A first step to that is an internet name system that is independent of certificate authorities. Among those names, will be our counter university and roles within it. A lot of people have rolled out such name systems, and you may well ask why I shall roll out one more?

              Well, no one has rolled out a full Zooko system, and to work, it has to be integrated with money and obligations. And to work, it has be resistant to central power, in a way that no existing blockchain is.

              But a blockchain has to have consensus, so who counts as part of the consensus? We have to make the consensus roughly represent people in approximate proportion to the amount of cash they have. And when we represent on the blockchain on demand enforceable obligations, demand deposits, the amount of cash minus their enforceable obligations. Trouble with proof of work is that you wind up with a lot of big fixed expensive mining operations with immovable assets in well known locations.

              We have to have a name system designed to survive Information Epoch warfare, as the Internet was designed to survive nuclear war. Eventually the battle front will be the whole world, and important people and their important assets will be likely to be hit with drones if their physical locations become known. Zelensky and company are already feeling it whenever they go near Ukraine, which may be part of the reason he is not spending a lot of time in Ukraine.

              It is already the case that if you have valuable digital assets, they are likely to come under attack. Andrew Anglin and Archbishop Vigano are equally in hiding, their money and their physical location deeply disguised. We must expect a name system that contains among its names challenges to Harvard’s memetic sovereignty is going to come under similar attack, attack that will in due course escalate to robot assassin drones.

                Does this include ENS and SNS, aka .eth and .sol domains? I can understand not trusting their underlying blockchain. Solana is highly coordinated now as a result of having to consistently reboot the network, decentralization not achieved despite fairly good scaling. Eth is fairly decentralized at the consensus layer as far as I can tell, we may have issues with the people governing ENS, but as of right now they are actually up and running, and capable of dissent, for example https://app.ens.domains/name/nigger.eth/details

      Dead generals indicates your generals are leading from the front. It is a badge of pride. You should be worried about the fact that the Global American Empire has no dead generals, but does have conscripts mutinying as a result of high casualties.

      The army led by warriors will win. The Russian army is obviously led by warriors. The Global American imperial army led by cosmopolitan Jews who hang out in foreign hot tourist spots.

      The Russian army is, alas, not led by competent warriors, but war is a stern teacher. They are learning. The Global American Empire is not learning.

      The Global American Imperial leadership is safely cocooned within a bubble of lies. The Russian leadership is not. This is likely to prove fatal in the end, though it may take a little while before the Global American Imperial leadership encounters men with guns walking into their bubble.

      Dead Russian generals indicate failure, the failure of trying blitzkrieg, and of foolishly persisting in blitzkrieg for far too long. It also indicates that surviving generals are going to learn from failure. Ukrainian conscript mutinies also indicate failure – not necessarily a failure the Global Imperial leadership is going to learn from.

        >Dead generals foreshadow success. Large numbers of dead conscripts foreshadow failure.

        Yeah, exactly, dead conscripts is why Russia lost to the Nazis, and why China’s intervention in Korea failed to stop the Americans, and why the Napoleonic levies had no effect on how anybody fought wars. And dead generals is totally why Dixie won the war, and why Crecy and Agincourt meant the French were about to kick ass, aristocratically. And when the French mass-produced arquebusses and equipped peasant levies with them to massacre Welsh longbowmen and English lords alike, that definitely meant the English were about to win. And –

        YOU FUCKING MORON.

        Flag rank officers dying in combat is always a big warning sign that the troops are on the edge of breaking and that leading from the front is the only way to prevent it. And losing such an officer always causes way more problems in the command and staffing of the army than whatever advantage was gained by the combat. And speaking of warning signs, lines like this are a screaming flashing red warning signal to all the fanboys that this Jim character has absolutely no fucking clue what he’s talking about, and more importantly, is not capable of recognizing when he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

          Actual mutinies by front line troops constitute actual breaking. Ukrainian troops are actually breaking. Russian troops seem to have high morale.

          You are drinking the Legacy Media koolaide.

          Russia blundered by using World War II tactics. Failed horribly. Ukraine is now blundering by using World War I tactics.

          The Ukrainians are consuming their army. They sought a war of attrition, are getting attrited. Rounding up cannon fodder, and dumping it into the trenches to soak up Russian artillery. Running low on cannon fodder.

          The Russians pull back when a war of attrition costs too much, attrit when they can do so cheaply. Ukrainians just react by pouring men into the trenches. They recently blew up one of their bridges behind their owm men to stop them from retreating. They are using the Azov brigades behind their regular troops to prevent regular troops from running away.

It seems something has developed in the past week on both sides; a tactical shift by RF and rhetorical shift by GAE. The losses really do appear to be staggering for UKR, and Poland is going to be the sacrificial lamb to Slaneesh to bring the Green Holocaust down. I don’t think RF long term goals have changed, but I do think the GAE is preparing to let UKR come to the table, which would have been unthinkable in March.

If/when Polish units start engaging Russian units in the UKR theater, an expansion of hostilities into the Baltic becomes somewhat more likely, especially with the Scandinavian backstab. As the RF moves further into IEW, critical targets will be Polish, or will be moved into Poland, forcing the Russians to make a very tough decision.

                  Comment from December 2014:

                  “The Russians are doing more for the West than anyone in Europe. The USA is utterly broken and cannot be fixed. But, individually, men can still maneuver to protect themselves. One thing is to buy property behind the surge of feminists and queers in cities. They fight the blacks using their own fake victim mythology. Occasionally, an actual white guy beats the daylights out of a black and the feminized re-settlers swoon. The martial spirit spirit probably won’t last as the whites consolidate their territory and lose daily grinding contact with Negros behaving badly.”

                  Very interesting article. It’s interesting how whites have to prepare to fight while our brown cousins seem to be perpetually in standby violence mode. Probably unrelated, but in Central America, people carry umbrellas because of sunshine, not rain.

    Every single claim you make about the Ukrainians is in truth happening to the Russians. There is no evidence of any of it applying to the Ukrainians and quite a few well-publicized cases of it happening to the Russians.

    The Russians have not been attacking unpredictably. They have been attacking exactly where the Ukrainians expect them to attack. That’s what happened to the pontoon crossing. That’s why the slow grind through Severodonetsk.

    There are numerous cases of intercepted conversations of Russian soldiers describing reluctance to be sent into the front and the reactions of their commanders. There are no such cases of Ukrainian equivalents. (There was the WaPo story, which used predictable morale issues at the front line of a war for concern trolling and drumming up more support.)

    The Russians are the ones who have lost 13 generals and 30-odd colonels and who knows how many junior officers because they keep having to lead from the front to keep the men from breaking. The Ukrainians have not. The Ukrainians are not the ones having trouble with combat-level officers.

    The Russians are the ones who shifted all the BTGs from the Kiev/Kharkov push and put them into the Donbass. The Ukrainians already had their regular army in the Donbass. What the Ukrainians are moving now is new recruits, because they mobilized. The Russians have not mobilized. The Russians only have what they started with, and half of it has gotten its face kicked in already.

    The Russian artillery is, currently, more numerous. The Ukrainian artillery is better employed. The Starlink-enabled targeting app they are using (thanks Elon!), plus drones for forward spotters, enables them to spread their artillery pieces out individually rather than massing them in specific locations. This makes counterbattery fire by the Russians a non-threat, because there is no specific target for the Russians to hit. This was discussed in detail by the Austrian Army briefing posted to Youtube a week or two back.

    Every single claim you make in this post is an explicit and likely deliberate lie and in every case a precise inversion of the truth. You should stop doing that. You won’t, of course. Every time I look into the background of any claim you make I find similar things: the evidence always supports the opposite of what you claim. It is not surprising you never provide any specific supporting evidence.

    You are an appalling liar, and appallingly bad at it.

    • jim says:

      If you rely on what is well publicized, you are relying on official disinformation. If you look for information, you will find eleven videos of Ukrainian troops mutinying because they had suffered significant casualties, and had received orders that were likely to subject them to considerably heavier casualties. They were complaining primarily about Russian rockets, some of those rockets being drone weapons. Eleven videos last time I looked, probably more now.

      You will not see any videos of Russians mutinying.

      The Russian blitzkrieg was stopped hard by Information Epoch weapons, and the Russians took a lot of casualties trying it. That is true, and no one denies it. And they stubbornly kept on trying even when it was obvious it did not work. But they gave up on blitzkrieg before they had to face mutinies. The Ukrainians are facing mass mutiny, indicating that they are suffering intolerable casualties.

      Most of what is publicized is disinformation. If you rely on official information, you will believe all sorts of things that are contrary to the evidence of your eyes, that blacks live in fear of white males, that women live in fear of rape by white males. Why do you think information about the Ukrainian war is any more accurate?

      > This makes counterbattery fire by the Russians a non-threat, because there is no specific target for the Russians to hit.

      They seem to be hitting a large number of Ukrainian conscripts, mostly with ground launched rockets and drone launched rockets.

      The Russians take out dispersed Ukrainian artillery by spotting them with drones, and by penetrating the military computer network. They are able to penetrate the military network because the Americans writing that artillery software thought in terms of artillery being used against militias of goat herders, rather than against a peer power.

      In the very recent past, American military software was outstandingly and extraordinarily strong against enemy penetration, while Americans had very good penetration of every adversary network. This has evidently ceased to be the case – probably for the same reason as other American high tech is failing, especially military high tech.

      I complained bitterly, and still complain bitterly, of Russians failing to deploy Information Epoch warfare, and of their incompetence when they finally did start deploying it. But Russia is penetrating Ukrainian battlefield networks, and Ukrainians are not penetrating Russian battlefield networks.

Domestically, the GAE has almost eliminated the concept of martyrdom for anti-Cathedral elements. By maintaining control of the narrative and having well tested methods of selectively digging up the past, memory-holing inconvenient facts and events, and inundating the marketplace of ideas at will, they can turn any act of bravery or heroism into cowardice or treachery, and heinous evil into laudable good.

      If it were to happen in conjunction with rapid developments before a Narrative ™ has been deployed, or as a series of atypical events, it could have a massive impact on the military class and community.

      A bigger event would be something, someone, some force or institution that instantiates and solidifies the meme that military service, police service, fire/EMS service are no longer acts of patriotism, loyalty, or honor. This would deprive the Cathedral of its remaining highly effective warriors, and put those warriors back into “the market,” as it were. Of course, they’d have plenty of negros, mestizos, and bull dykes to put in uniform and play soldier, but that would be cold comfort as young white males and the sons of healthy communities started going to workout and bond at church, “Bible study,” and the neighborhood watch.

      @Ghost

      America is not 1600s Japan, but 1970s Japan was also not 1600s Japan. What Mishima did was initially seen with bewilderment and the act of a crazy fool. Just watch how Japanese soldiers reacted to Mishima’s coup speech with ridicule during the act. Over time it has captivated the minds of many both inside and outside of Japan. It took time for his suicide to be processed. Many of the student leftists who hated Mishima in their youth now feel like something of immense value was lost.

      I have a suspicion that a live streamed, highly choreographed and properly executed suicide by an American Officer at the right symbolic location would initially be met with extreme bewilderment… but over time would foster a deeply unsettling psychological horror among a certain group of Washington elites.

      @Kunning Drueger

      Many of those mavericks incidents have felt like fake grandstanding. Often many of those mavericks end up as shills on Fox News or semi successful standard Republican politicians. None of those incidents were eye catching or long lasting the the national psyche.

      A ritual suicide done right “wouldn’t convert anyone from their perspective” but it would float around in the cultural conscious for quite a long time. That could have unexpected outcomes that the Cathedral would not be able to handle well.

    Sorry but Christians do not lie at all. If you’re a “lying Christian” you can hang out with “LGBTWTFBBQ Christians” and other deviants. Christians have to worry about their church being infiltrated by sodomites. Sodomites do not worry about their frat houses being infiltrated by Christians. Any “realpolitik” spy game such as seen in the Cold War is obsolete too, when there is perfect infiltration asymmetry between good and evil rather than frictional geopolitical tensions between rational secular states.

    So WWI with drones it is. Christians can’t infiltrate the demon domain, but smashing down the gates and burning it and salting the earth works as well as anything else. A war of attrition is fitting for this setup, but a full nuclear war is on the same spectrum too.

    A war of attrition is the base needed to filter for true believers who can then be used for fancy encirclement strategies. Trying to start a war with encirclement (a surprise attack) doesn’t work for the good guys because you still have gay spies in your army who haven’t faced the filter yet, and unreliable generals who haven’t been purged.

    A house divided against itself won’t stand. Cucks and traitors and demons will betray each other if forced to, if they are forced into a style of war where they can’t infiltrate and get away with it.

    I’m certain there’s still room for computer hackers. But they’re a spice, not even a side dish, in what kind of war this is.

    “I am now coming to the conclusion that to do human penetration, you need a shared faith.”

    You’ve been saying this for years. Maybe you just hadn’t realized it applies to computer hacking as well.

    But in hindsight why wouldn’t it? It needs crazy smart guys, working together through time, for bosses too dumb to appreciate them. Guys who can be lazy and just fool their bosses into believing that they’re working instead, if they want to, but don’t. Because they “care”.

    Like how Oppenheimer could have scammed the War Department for years and never come up with a bomb, if he’d wanted to. But he didn’t. Because he “cared”.

    As a matter of fact, quietly sandbagging because he didn’t “care” enough is one revisionist understanding of why Heisenberg never got very far with the Nazi nuclear program.

    A shared faith is a shared game plan, and motivation to carry it out, even without credit. A conspiracy that doesn’t need to be written down or communicated to work. Peas in a pod don’t have to “conspire”.

    A Jesse Kelly (edgy normiecon with fagmouth) tweet just the other day:

I’ve never once felt the urge to kill any of them I’ve fucked (the one time I got ripped off I kinda did) and don’t understand anyone who does feel that way (or who likes to torture small animals) same way I don’t understand the people so eager to spare leftists…

              My understanding of people who take pleasure in hurting people…

              So when we are children naturally we imagine ourselves at the center of the world, of reality. Our needs are the center of our attention. Our behavior is driven to achieve this goal.

              Obviously this is false. Some have a hard time understanding this, or just outright refuse to accept it. Especially people incapable of being honest with themselves.

              This leads to a great deal of stress, and in general incompetence. As your experience further deviates from your understanding, your ignorance has a compounding negative affect on you emotionally and psychologically.

              Because you have no power over yourself, as you have become a slave to your ego, you seek power over others. The desire to hurt yourself and others is a manifestation of your impotence, ignorance and incompetence.

              Maturing requires equal parts openness, honesty, willingness, and a good bit of courage.

                  Even as the penalty.

                  It is still murder. And murder ought to be punished. If its not carried out by God sanctioned Authorities in accordance with due process.

                  I see no instance of killing outside of what is in accordance with Judicial system and the necessities of War considered righteous.

                  It still carries the crime of bloodshed even in the case of the guilty thief:

                  “2If a thief is caught breaking in and is beaten to death, no one shall be guilty of bloodshed. 3But if it happens after sunrise, there is guilt for his bloodshed. A thief must make full restitution; if he has nothing, he himself shall be sold for his theft”

                  Exodus 22:2-3

                  And falls under the penalty of Death (Genesis 9:6). For in the image of God he made Man.

                  > Where in the Old Testament is rape and murder even considered legitimate?

                  Rape in the modern sense did not exist until around 1800 or so. No such crime, no such word, no such meaning, no such thought. When we are in power, the present day official meaning will come to be forgotten again, and no one will feel any need to invent a replacement word to mean the present day meaning. The thought will not occur often enough to need a word. The concept is maintained in existence by a continual and strident propaganda offensive, without which incessant and forceful shilling the concept would cease to exist, and no longer need a word.

                  And it did not exist in Old Testament times. A man having sex with a woman in the Old Testament is wrongful if it is incest, and wrongful if it violates the property rights of another man in her sexual, reproductive, and domestic services.

                  Murder is wrongful killing, so your question presupposes that the killing is wrongful, which is the question in dispute. Anyone may kill a wild deer or catch a fish, but you cannot kill someone else’s cow, nor someone else’s domestic deer, nor take someone else’s fish.

                • i says:

                  Animals aren’t made in God’s image. Humanity is made in God’s image.

                  To deface and destroy God’s image outside of Judgment and Just War is Sacrilege.

                  Again. I am talking about the combination of rape and murder which never existed as a Judicial penalty.

                  Only beheading and stoning for the sins of sacrilege.

                  This is why sexual sins in the Bible carried the Death Penalty because it is Sacrilege.

                  Killing outside of that determined by God ordained Authorities, self-defense(as the thief’s example shows) due process and War is to defile what is Holy.

                  This is why even killing the thief in broad daylight is considered “Bloodshed”.

                  Human life is Holy. Wedlock and its Patriarchal Sex roles is also Holy.

                  Sacrilege is always a death penalty offence in the OT.

                  I don’t think so. This suggests that killing outside of manslaughter(accidental homicide) and Judicial outside of Wartime defiles the land:

                  >1If one is found slain, lying in a field in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess, and it is not known who killed him, 2your elders and judges must come out and measure the distance from the victim to the neighboring cities.

                  >3Then the elders of the city nearest the victim shall take a heifer that has never been yoked or used for work, 4bring the heifer to a valley with running water that has not been plowed or sown, and break its neck there by the stream.

                  >5And the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to serve Him and pronounce blessings in His name and to give a ruling in every dispute and case of assault.

                  >6Then all the elders of the city nearest the victim shall wash their hands by the stream over the heifer whose neck has been broken, 7and they shall declare, “Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it. 8Accept this atonement, O LORD, for Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, and do not hold the shedding of innocent blood against them.”

                  >And the bloodshed will be atoned for. 9So you shall purge from among you the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the eyes of the LORD.

                  https://biblehub.com/bsb/deuteronomy/21.htm

                  I don’t see where killing is allowed outside of what is regulated. And was restricted to every instance of sacrilege. Which was brought before the Judges and the Priests to be enacted.

                  Short recap on the old testament rules on sex:

                  No disagreement as I have said in my comment:

                  >I see no instance of killing outside of what is in accordance with Judicial system and the necessities of War considered righteous.

                  I suspect we are talking past each other as well.

                  Again I restate that there is no such penalty which involves “raping a woman before killing her.”

                • jim says:

                  You are projecting the modern system of police and courts back into biblical times, but it is in fact quite new.

                  The parts of the bible you quote presuppose a judicial system willing to uphold justice, and capable of enforcing order – which was not the case in the time of the patriarchs before the sojourn in Egypt, and not the case during those periods in Israel where “every man did what was right in his own eyes”

                  And not the case today.

                  And, back to the case of kawaii_kike. Killing or sparing Tamar is Judah’s decision. The elders can apply considerable social pressure and influence, but Judah gets to decide.

                  And, similarly, in the case of the death penalty for adultery, King Solomon does not warn the adulterer of the wrath of the courts, but of the wrath of the husband. There really does not seem to have been judicial process even in the time of Kings. Rather families sorted matters out, and priests arbitrated in conflicts between families. We tend to revert to that system from time to time, and the way the wind blows, may well do so again.

                  Priests exercised judicial functions, but you simply never read of someone being tried and executed by judicial authority (and they had the death penalty for just about everything) though arguably things became more judicial like in New Temple times. What the priests would do is sort out conflicts by proposing, or commanding, a settlement. Like if someone stole something, the priests would say you cannot kill him if he makes seven fold restitution. Which presupposes that he was still alive at the time, perhaps because his family was protecting him, and would get pissed if he got killed. so the priests demand a resolution of the conflict in which nobody gets killed and shake down the family of the offender to pay off the family of the victim.

                  Yes. If the state religion is evil, it is punished by more evil. The liar has to escalate his lies. Being wicked, must double down on its wickedness. Letting demons in, in the name of tolerance, inclusion, and unity, whether those demons be real or metaphorical, Christ is ejected, and the demons rapidly become ever more intolerant, exclusive, and eventually, disunited.

                  Even in Churches that arguably practice old type Christianity, you see this in the KJV controversy. The new bibles are translated within the Harvard progressive Duluth Model frame on sexual morality, for example writing “marriageable age” into the old testament, by people who hate and fear Christians, Christianity, and Christ. And their fear and hatred shows. And their hatred and fear of masculinity shows in deleting “the effeminate” from Saint Paul’s list of those who will not inherit the Kingdom of heaven.

                  Good lightning summary of the problem.

                  The chronology of the woman problem.

                  1. 1st they emancipated them.

                  2. Then they gave them power over the system (well more power to be manipulated since more women than men are total NPCs) with the 19th amendment.

                  3. Then they gave them full court press cultural propaganda to work

                  4. Then they gave them legal superweapons ala sexual harassment stalking domestic violence etc rape without a hard burden of evidence of struggle etc (it should be noted that before this attractive women couldn’t really be single easily as they’d eventually be harassed into picking someone)

                  5. Then they were encouraged to be unfeminine fat and unattractive and to completely disdain family life and motherhood… to be the worst ugliest most repulsive women they could be.

                  They might have been encouraged to be “slutty” between the 60s and the fake AIDs crisis but that has passed, genuine sluts try to keep a decent appearance, weight and tend not to have shrewish personalities. If they were encouraged to be slutty while not ideal in itself it would actually improve things.

                  True I think given a smaller scale society and lack of institutions. The Patriarchs are effectively Chieftains and the “State” with the powers Life and Death.

                  Even in smaller scale Hunter-Gatherer societies there is the “tyranny of the cousins”. The Band of Brothers are themselves the “State”. Who decide the life and death of people within the Tribe.

                  >”and not the case during those periods in Israel where “every man did what was right in his own eyes”

                  As a matter of course given how Israel become Idolatrous as well. Which meant the Mosaic Law wasn’t exactly followed as it should have been.

                  I do see your point.

                  Israel was exiled for 70 years for failing to give the land rest every 7th year. That is leaving it fallow for that entire year.

                  I think the other reason is how effective due process is in pinning down actual criminals and preventing any reasonable doubt that the criminal is innocent. Which is why I have some faith in its potential.

                  That is true. But in regards to Murder there is no possible restitution aside from death. As (Genesis 9:6) and later Numbers:

                  >33Do not pollute the land where you live, for bloodshed pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land on which the blood is shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it.

                  There can be no restitution possible for murder aside from the murderer being executed. Thereby balancing the scales of Lex Talonis.

                  I think you are right, but not entirely sure.

                  Samuel Johnson’s 1755 dictionary has an entry for rape. Its definition is “violent defloration of chastity”(1) and “something snatched away”. The second sounds like a property crime to me. The first sounds like violently taking away virginity. Again, no consent mentioned, so not the modern definition.

                  Also, “ravish” says, “to constuprate[violate] by force” and “to delight or rapture”. Very telling.

                  Fast forward 73 years to Webster’s 1828 dictionary. “Rape” means “in law, the carnal knowledge of a woman forcibly and against her will”. Fits with when you said the rot set in.

                  So, here’s my confusion. In the 1755 dictionary, it gives as an example of the usage of the word rape, “The parliament conceived, that the obtaining of women by force into possession, however afterwards assent might follow, by allurements, was but a rape drawn forth in length, because the first force drew on all the rest.” My reading comp is mediocre. That quote sounds like the description of a property crime, even though assent was given by the women, right?

                  Rapine is a word for theft, and more specifically destructive theft, that ruins the value of the thing stolen, even if it is recovered.

                  So there’s a pretty clear meaning in people’s use of the word in the original sense. The caddish rake having his way with the farmer’s daughter has spoiled another man’s property, and thus must be made to stand and deliver. The caddish rake having his way with a streetwalker or other feral woman is noone’s business but his own.

          Take your time, take lots of time. You are not desperate for sex. You are just amused to play with her.

          She either will not attempt to escape, or will attempt only in order to provoke you into stopping her. Do not be too easily provoked. If her attempts at escape are obviously not seriously intended to succeed, stop them, but be in no hurry to do so. Thwarting an escape attempt should only be performed when failure to do so would look like rejection or weakness. Do so from the frame that you are laughing at her.

          The natural behavior of a female is to run away from men, very slowly.

          If she actually makes an attempt to escape that might well succeed, you have failed, and should let her go. If you maintain the appearance of not much caring whether she gets away, her efforts at escape will indeed be amusingly ineffectual.

          The process of playing around, and sometimes being distracted by other matters because she is not very important, should go on for quite a long time.

        Cutting is the corresponding female deviation, similarly arising from failure to achieve their corresponding telos.

        Four million year old footprints suggest an apeman and apewoman holding each other tightly, or the apeman holding the apewoman tightly, while a child follows close behind. You don’t see nuclear families among chimps.

            I understand it perfectly. Your comprehension of human nature and conduct is weak.

            In order to get places, you need to learn about people. Part of learning how to talk to normies is learning about people. You are not good at this.

            You not only do not understand this, there are a whole lot other things you do not understand. You would make a good grunt for the inquisition shock troops, but you need to learn up on officer material.

            When you do not understand, time to think yourself into the other party’s shoes. You are plenty smart enough for that. You not only need to learn up on officer material, you need to want to learn up on officer material. Desire to rape and kill is a result of anticipated inability to exercise one’s true and divinely commanded telos, ownership of a woman. You are also failing at that telos, though your despair manifests in less self destructive form. You still suffer from despair and have excessive desire for destruction, but destruction must not be allowed to substitute for and replace construction, and the major part of the job of officers of the inquisition will be to ensure that it does not.

            Some destruction is going to be necessary to make room for construction, but the construction has to capable of moving in to the space created and capable of effectively utilizing the freed resources. If we free up resources and fail to effectively utilize them, someone else will use those resources against us.

              But are extremely violent impulses against bar sluts who give you no illusion they are your girlfriend strippers etc really normal? I agree spanking and choking are normal (many women ASK for spankings and NEARLY ALL of them ask for choking) but for me this was something i mainly went along with because they wanted it.

              • jim says:

                Your failure to have homicidal impulses when your slut fucks other men ahead of you and gives the money you gave her to other men is also a deviation. Your and kawaii_kike’s deviation is that you both assume that that is what is going to happen, because it has happened so many times before, and despair. I never despaired, despite numerous events that were ample grounds for despair and which foreshadowed failure. And I failed many times without despairing, and in due course succeeded. Twice.

                Nor did I ever despair of any woman I was currently fucking, though there were plenty of times when I should have despaired of that particular woman, and moved on sooner.

                Hope they say, springs eternal. It does if your soul is healthy. Irrational optimism beats rational pessimism. If I had been rationally pessimistic, would have avoided a great deal of trouble, danger, and suffering. And also would not have succeeded. Buddhism tells believers to avoid suffering. Christianity tells believers to embrace suffering.

                Evolutionary psychology tells us the reason that hope springs eternal is that natural selection wants you to keep on trying to achieve your telos. Gnon commands you keep on going.

                You have given up. Kawaii_kike gave up. I hope and expect he will now try.

                Sluts are not doing you a favor, for in defect defect, the game of players and bitches, the bitches win and the players lose, but even though the bitches win, they do not get what they truly want and wind up as cat ladies, or as the morbidly obese commissar of Human Resources. When you are a player, they are not doing you a favor, you are doing them a favor, and eventually you realize it. Hence player burnout. All successful players of game burnout eventually. Not that I was ever all that successful, but sufficiently successful to burnout. Bad player burnouts are the result of failure of hope. My hope never failed, though it got mighty dim from time to time.

Some of the women play pretty loose though and most will help a fellow member in need.

Most importantly though, US exports its poisonous regulations and financial system at the same time it exports color revolution and faggots. A lack of ability for the US to smother technological projects and very low living standards in the country itself would cause an exodus of the productive greengrocers to the few functional physical domains that remain in the world. It would allow for the natural resources and of Latrino America and Afreakya to be contested, and it would allow people like Musk and the million unsung nuclear, genetics, and otherwise squandered technological producers an opportunity to carry out their work without a top down imposed evil consensus racket.

                  It’s probably better for Americans writ large to have a Caesar moment, but if no other options the empire must still perish before consuming the world with it.

                  @Kunning Drueger

                  There are a huge crowd of patriots in the military.

                  Why do you think the civilian government is so damn obsessed about rooting out “extremists?” DoD affiliated groups estimated that 30-40% of the Jan 6 people had some level of military experience at Officer ranks. That is a massive over representation when compared to either the military population or the general population. Around 90% charged for Jan 6 related incidents were veterans. Vast majority that showed up at Jan 6 were retired, but their views are largely common in active duty military. Even more so among Officers at the O1-O5 ranks.

                  You might point out that only around 2000 went to the capital and that it pales in comparison to the millions of veterans today, but keep in mind that the number of people who will act on their own initiative without direction is always an extremely small portion of any group. The idea that military veterans who have been deeply conditioned to never act without orders would show up in those numbers is deeply alarming to DoD because it’s an indication of what will happen if the grunts were given orders.

                  The military does not act on it’s own, a cultural peculiarity that has been ingrained into Western militaries for at least the last century. It is a top down hierarchical system. It needs orders from the top to act. You do not see active duty act without orders which is why they only rarely showed up at Jan 6. Without orders they do not act. That creates the illusion that there are no large crowds of patriots in the military because they don’t do anything unless mobilized. Trump repeatedly failed to mobilize the military, thus the military did nothing.

                  I’m familiar with the military, and I knew a fair number of Officers in the O1 to O5 range. The general sentiment/culture among them is such that you would not be out of place saying something like “it would only take a couple dead bodies in the streets to shut those riots down” during the Floyd riots. DoD investigations into “extremism” have largely turned up nothing because most Officers choose to see “nothing” because they are mostly sympathetic to those views or realize that proper compliance with DoD investigations would quickly render their units void of grunts.

I didn’t come to this position lightly or easily, but no amount of anecdotal evidence is going to shift my current perspective: the majority of the armed forces, active and reserve, are wagecucks with welfare queen characteristics. A minority are rabid homo agents of the Cathedral, another minority are the true blue constitutional fanboys, and an ultra minority of Operators, Technicians, and leaders with great skill and ability.

                  But I’m an outsider looking in, so I know I’m never going to see it as vets and members do. I’m also embarrassed by how much faith, trust, and admiration I used to have in the USM, so I imagine that colors my perspective pretty heavily. I guess time will tell, but I’m pessimistic.

                  @Kunning Drueger

                  You despair because from the outside it looks like the military is devoid to men who love their country and would die for it to put a stop to decline. To you it looks like that because the top down nature of the military means Cathedral agenda gets put front and center in the media.

                  Men in the military despair because they know even though it is full of men who love their country and would die for it to stop the decline, the orders to clean up their nation are likely never coming.

                  Both perspectives are accurate to the extent that they reflect a common pessimistic reality that nothing happens under current circumstances. That military is not going to save the US.

                  But such perspectives are somewhat the wrong way when looking at the situation. The military is a tool, and as a tool it can be wielded by someone. A more important question should be “will that tool function if a president uses it to smash ______ targets?” I firmly believe that if the target is something like Antifa, that tool would function rather well because for a great deal of service members it will be a cathartic experience. Let’s us suppose that you’re right about the military being full of wagecucks with welfare queen characteristics (I mostly disagree with that)… well good thing that those types follow orders as well.

                  The main argument I make is that the military would likely be rather enthusiastic with the smashing if given the orders by someone like Trump.

                  The main problem thus becomes how to get a president who wants to use that tool to smash the right targets. We got much closer than anyone expected with Trump, but ultimately normality bias set in.

                  As I’ve said before, a prospective Caesar would need to clean house. Colonels don’t become Generals by winning wars, and Generals don’t stay Generals by winning wars. Getting the O7 and above is a political process involving presidential nominations with the Senate doing a confirmation. Obviously would be Generals and current Generals have to dance to the tune of the politics. A president can somewhat bypass this problem by firing all of them with few exceptions at his discretion, quite a few O6s would need to go as well. He would then have direct lines of communications to O6 and under who are most likely to carry out orders without political interference.

                  Of course that would be rather alarming to the Senate… so it would have to be done during a national emergency overnight… which is why people were urging Trump to invoke the insurrection act which would have given plenty of cover to purge the top brass for insubordination but Trump cucked.

You say that a hypothetical President Caesar could just fire the generals, but that does not address my point that in order to get President Caesar, you first need General Caesar. Caesar does not self-instatiate out of the aether; he needs to achieve things no Cathedral general can.

                  An elected Caesar that hides his power level then bursts out onto the scene could use the US military, but will already have to have an armed force of his own prior to getting elected. The US military is a dead institution and any harm that comes to it benefits us. It will provide nothing that our Caesar will not already have, unless it is unnecessary to his rise.

                • jim says:

                  > Octavian was not a general

                  Octavian marched up to a bunch of troops who had not been paid, announced himself Caesar’s son by adoption, took command, and got them paid. I would say that that makes him, illegally and unofficially, a general. More than a general, a King.

                  He paid them initially out of his own funds, which was completely ruinous for him, but now he had troops with which to acquire more money.

                  With those troops, he then seized at swordpoint government money that had been corruptly, and arguably illegally, diverted and applied it to paying those troops.

                  He failed to realize he had reinstituted hereditary Kingship, which, much later, Constantine did realize. The troops were instinctively and intuitively responding to the Kingship principle, the man born to rule, the man born to be loyal to the troops. It would probably not have worked for some random wealthy man.

                  With those troops, he then got his inheritance from Julius Caesar through the courts. Suddenly courts that had been strangely lethargic became strangely energetic.

                  Sounds to me like Octavian damned well made himself a general, and failed to realize he had made himself a King.

                  The implicit dialog, and perhaps the explicit dialog was. “Ceasar was yours, and you were Ceasar’s. Ceasar got you paid, now he is dead and you have not been paid. I am Ceasar’s son by adoption, you are mine by inheritance, and it is my duty to pay you”. When they took their pay, they accepted the frame within which it came.

                  Octavian was general by inheritance. He failed to realize he had activated the principle of Kingship, of hereditary bonds of obedience and mutual loyalty between warriors. Constantine did realize it. Allegedly he got the idea through his British mother, though that is a legend that did not appear until long after the events. Historians do not believe it, and have good reason to doubt that source, but it kind of fits events, even though the details of the story are anachronistic and obviously completely made up.

                  > He grew into the role of a general with time.

                  He was born, or rather adopted, a general.

                  Kingship started working long before the elite realized what was at work.

                  And now that time has come again. When we are in power we will need to organize the army so that as far as possible, the sons of grunts are under the command of the sons of the officers who commanded their fathers.

                  We will need to recognize what the elite of Rome failed to recognize for centuries. It is the only thing that works when you have a morally decadent elite. If you don’t have a virtuous elite, you have to reinforce the alarmingly weak bonds of official duty, which no one takes seriously any longer, with the powerful natural bonds of family duty. Otherwise your state is a string made of sand. The time for Kingship and semi hereditary aristocracy has come again.

                • The Cominator says:

                  Octavian was never much of a general. He needed Agrippa and later Tiberius to handle that aspect of things for him. He got around this and kept respect of troops by being “Caesar Divi Filius” ie the troops that respected Caesar should respect him as the “son” of the God Caesar (this probably made Antony who had a reputation of being recklessly brave) unusually bitter.

                  Trump believed in the Republic and governed as if the Republic still lived.

                  In the late Roman Republic, it became obvious to anyone paying attention that the Republic had died and one of Pompey or Caesar would make themselves King.

                  And indeed, long before Caesar marched on Rome he had decided he was going to make himself king, because if he did not, Pompey would.

                  I don’t know if Trump still believes in the idea of the Republic or not. If he does, then he is a Gracchus not a Caesar. He has keep that hidden, but any prospective American Caesar will have long decided before coming to power that they are coming for the throne.

                  You say that a hypothetical President Caesar could just fire the generals, but that does not address my point that in order to get President Caesar, you first need General Caesar.

                  @ Pooch in re to “China and Russia are not nice places to live and will not be good places to flee too. In fact both have everything we hate about the GAE and none of the benefits of an advanced civilization. Abortion, crime, tyrannical government, forced injections, unstable marriage, muslims, divorce, you name it.”

                  Curtis Yarvin said in a recent article something like “flying from Shanghai to New York feels like flying from New York to Rio”, and in a different article he reposted a youtube video of a guy holding a camera touring the streets of Москва, and I must say that video made the city look quite appealing. Fyi I recently unsubscribed (free subscription) from him because 1) He’s saying the same things over and over again and 2) He’s slowly becoming more liberal. I suspect this has something to do with his new fiance, who is a liberal journalist (i think). I suppose it’s in keeping with the “liberal monarchist” model established by Kuehnelt-Leddihn.

                  You’ll get no argument from me that the streets of Moscow look infinitely better than the streets of New York. However, the nicest neighborhoods of America/Europe are still quite nice and I would wager they are still the nicest places in the world. All the Russian Oligarchs hang out in the Global American Empire hotspots.

                  But my problem with Russia isn’t Moscow, it’s the birth rate, which is actually lower than America’s! This indicates that something is deeply not well in Russia and is not the based right wing paradise that some on the right like to make it out to be. Such a low birth rate is not the look of a rising power.

                  In Russia, you have super rich Oligarchs and the average person is very poor. It’s not a religious society. It’s a very secular society. Religion is very superficial in Russia. It’s really not that different than Ukraine in most respects. Corruption is high in both.

                  It has one of the highest abortion rates in the world not to mention alcoholism, prostitution, and human trafficking, child abuse, etc. There are so many orphans that Putin had to ban the US from adopting Russian orphans.

                  Maybe I am too black pilled on Russia and I would love to be corrected here, but Russia is a hollowed-out country. You can blame Marxism. You can blame the West fucking them in the 1990s. I think it goes very deep.

                  The nice neighborhoods of Russia are getting nicer. The nice neighborhoods of America and Europe are rapidly being swallowed in a rising sea of chaos, violence, fear, filth, and destruction, which is now rapidly approaching my doorstep. I was at a party last night, and some of the guests were discussing the fact that their very nice houses in very nice neighborhoods had been overrun by the rising sea of chaos, so they had to stash their wives and kids some place else.

                  I have reserved a tiny house in a place much less convenient, lest I need to move, and am otherwise slowly liquidating my real estate holdings. I really need to look into locations more defensible, but the trouble is a place is defensible according to its social network. This is not something one can look up on the internet. I have a social network where I am that is capable of resisting things to some alarmingly limited extent. We have one man who can make law enforcement act or refrain from acting, and some people who can make other people disappear, but it is a very slender thread, and likely to evaporate under pressure.

                  I have social connections to people who have kinship connections, but because of the collapse of family and reproduction, the kinship connections are frail.

                Com, you’re attacking me from the wrong frame, “this guy wants to kill sluts, he’s a real sicko, not like me, I respect and protect every stripper I bang”. But Jim is right, eggs are expensive, sperm is cheap. I shouldn’t make a habit of killing women, not only would it be a form of despair but a waste of resources; a violation of my telos and the laws of Gnon.

                And Ghost, I’m not sure where you were stationed or when you were in but we call them barracks here. I know the air force calls them dorms and there’s not really any parties in barracks here unless you’re infantry. As far as trust goes, male cohesion has been somewhat undermined by equal opportunity and sexual harassment programs. And maybe you forgot but women like coercion so I don’t know why you’re white knighting for army sluts and saying I wouldn’t need to “force myself on a fellow military member”. I guess I’ll just m’lady my way into the local barracks bunny’s panties.

                  Even Neurotoxin, whose blog enthusiastically exposes what women really want, got shocked by my claim that very young women had been putting a lot of effort and energy into getting what they really want, and were getting what his own blog tells us that they want.

                  He reads romances so you don’t have to. Does he think that they are only targeted at readers over eighteen? You can find distinct hints of what Neurotoxin dissects in those romances in almost every Disney Princess movie in only slightly more subtle form.

                  What age group do my commenters think Yona of the Dawn is targeted at? Yona, and all the nine year old girls in the audience, have the hots for the bad boy protagonist who killed her father the King in front of her, urgently needs to kill her, and intends to do so. This is very far from being an uncommon or even exclusively male deviation. Rather this is a disturbing response to a society that denies men and women ownership, and the female response is equally disturbing and far more socially destructive.

                  Com is very purple pilled on women. He’s starting to say the right words but he still doesn’t believe it. I’ve long thought his desire to murder leftists was his own rage at not having been able to have a wife and children so far.

                  Jim’s right about it being disrepair. I’ve lived with it for a very long time and I’m doing everything possible to rectify the issue.

                  I would hazard to guess that there is an instinctual subroutine in men to rape and kill, or kill and rape, antagonistic outgroup women under certain circumstances. This is covered quite extensively in the books:

                  Silesian Inferno: War Crimes of the Red Army on Its March into Silesia in 1945
                  and
                  Hellstorm: The Death Of Nazi Germany, 1944-1947

                  And look at all the rapes of white women by various minority untermenschen throughout the West (e.g. the Central Park Jogger).

                  In some men the subroutines might be inappropriately triggered.

                  I read about Eskimo tribe that had their women raped and murdered by an enemy tribe when they were away hunting game. They spent years waiting and planning the same sort of revenge on the enemy tribe. Both tribes ended up without women according to the account.

                  Such behavior is generally engendered to trigger the greatest levels of humiliation and hatred between groups. Total war.

                  The interesting thing about the Russian rapes and murders is how often the women just wondered up to the Russian troops even knowing the Russians were killing a lot of the girls they raped. Quite a few were looking to be raped despite the danger.

                  You write very well, so if you are Army, you are not likely enlisted. Most of the guys here are young so I will guess Lieutenant. That would explain why you don’t want to hang out with the infantry also.

                  My advice is different, and I have already given it.

                  Repeating: Your deviation is a result of failure to achieve your telos and despair at achieving it. Do not despair.

                  Rather, direct your impulses to their proper telos. To which hope will naturally direct them.

                • Wulfgar Thundercock III says:

                  The best argument against raping her is that she is a military female, and you and I know what they are like. Daddy issues, emotional disorders, and morals that would make alley cats blush. You would be better off having your buddies introduce you to their female relatives because they are not as damaged goods as females in the military. In a choice between strippers and female military members, the only winning move is not to play. Unless you can get a virgin airwoman, the only pairing which I have seen provide pretty decent results, better to leave Private Suzie Rottencrotch in the gutter, where she belongs.

                  “The interesting thing about the Russian rapes and murders is how often the women just wondered up to the Russian troops even knowing the Russians were killing a lot of the girls they raped.”

                  Murder is murder. And those who do so must be executed. You are an idiot if you think shedding innocent blood is inconsquential:

                  Genesis 9:6
                  “6Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.”

                  Numbers 35:33
                  33Do not pollute the land where you live, for bloodshed pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land on which the blood is shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it.”

                  God’s curse is on whoever shed blood in this manner. God will avenge himself on you if you don’t repent.

                  “I read about Eskimo tribe that had their women raped and murdered by an enemy tribe when they were away hunting game. They spent years waiting and planning the same sort of revenge on the enemy tribe. Both tribes ended up without women according to the account.”

                  Exactly why murder is punished. What I would do in that case is exterminating all the males of said enemy tribe and take their virgins women and girls to compensate the women lost. As the Israelites with the Midianites:

                  “7Then they waged war against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male. 8Among the slain were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.

                  9The Israelites captured the Midianite women and their children, and they plundered all their herds, flocks, and goods. 10Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites had lived, as well as all their encampments, 11and carried away all the plunder and spoils, both people and animals.

                  12They brought the captives, spoils, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho. 13And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.

                  14But Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who were returning from the battle. 15“Have you spared all the women?” he asked them. 16“Look, these women caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to turn unfaithfully against the LORD at Peor, so that the plague struck the congregation of the LORD. 17So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man, 18but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.”

                  https://biblehub.com/bsb/numbers/31.htm

                  “10When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hand and you take them captive, 11if you see a beautiful woman among them, and you desire her and want to take her as your wife, 12then you shall bring her into your house. She must shave her head, trim her nails, 13and put aside the clothing of her captivity.

                  After she has lived in your house a full month and mourned her father and mother, you may have relations with her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife. 14And if you are not pleased with her, you are to let her go wherever she wishes. But you must not sell her for money or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.”

                  Most tribes are not strong enough to wipe out the men of a competing tribe. The point of the treatment is deterrence.

                  I believe the point of the gang rapes + murder by Russian army was the emasculation and subjugation of the people they conquered. The conquered people were treated as slaves. Gang rape is normal in warfare, typically a gang raped woman will change her allegiance to the new tribe. Gang rape and murder is not normal behavior and ultimately didn’t prove an effective method of control.

                  The one month period was likely waiting to see if she was pregnant. Women taken in this manner are almost always gang raped and a waiting period is traditional to see if she can be given as wife to someone in the tribe.

                  I think it would better to take those women for oneself. As compensation which is beneficial.

                  “Women taken in this manner are almost always gang raped and a waiting period is traditional to see if she can be given as wife to someone in the tribe.”

                  I don’t think that happened according to the text. That woman is already shaved, her makeup wiped off and so on.

                  So unlikely to happen. And likely to make her damaged goods.

                  Buy a domain name and setup a host. Have your wordpress site redirect to the new site. If the admin task is too hard, I will do it for you (purchase domain name and set up host), and then transfer the identity to you, but I will charge you the costs of the domain name, and you will need to pay the hosting costs to some data center in bitcoin. Also, hosting requires administrative skills and knowledge, though less than setting it up in the first place, and for it to be your own blog, you don’t want someone else with root access.

              This is good advice.

              Ill add that there is a natural incentive to learn how to talk to normies, how to speak to someone on their level without talking down to them. Normies are your beta orbiters. Normies orbit alpha males like betas orbit women. They will help you, do things for you, etc. They are useful.

              Normies are going to want to look out for you, if you validate them (talk to them, offer encouragement). It’s a completely natural process. Every normie friend is another set of eyes and ears looking out for you and will help you if they can.

              It’s a reciprocal relationship, and if you talk down to them or look down at them, if you let your pride get in the way this doesn’t work so well. If you are good at giving normies just what they need, which is not much as most are fairly demoralized, they will give you much more in return.

      Ted Bundy wasn’t human. A bastard child who’s own mother pretended to be his older sister because she couldn’t bear the shame of bearing him. He faced total rejection at a young age and became a sick freak because of it. Bastards are generally evil creatures that no one should look twice at when they end up dead by the side of the road.

      Also he had no problems picking up chicks. Chicks loved the dark vibe he put out. Totally incapable of cooperating with men who generally viewed him as some sort of alien creature long before his serial killing ways where exposed. But this ability to score with women did not result in reproductive success and is fundamentally maladaptive for men.

The feeling that their owner/kidnapper/protector could do whatever he wants with them, combined with him actually doing whatever he wants with them, is chick crack.

      Where introverted men whove gone over the deep end go wrong is thinking they need to do this furtively, as if they are doing something wrong; and an internal frame of doing something wrong, creates the reality of being perceived as doing something wrong.

He also didn’t control his wife entirely either, as his son got killed in a car accident. Gotti decided that it actually wasn’t the other guys fault really and didn’t want to seek revenge, but his wife really wanted the guy dead and eventually he gave in and had the guy whacked.

  166. Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

    For most of history, the acme of operational art has been to create circumstances where the enemy is forced to either commit his men to an attack, or else suffer an intolerable situation; as, generally speaking, a prepared defender would enjoy significant advantages over the assaulting force.

    A canonical example would be siege; the enemy must either try for a break-out, or eventually starve from hunger, or perish from thirst, or break down from want of replacements. This can also be a means of baiting an enemy on campaign to come to you, by threatening a target he has little choice but to defend.

    Another example, along similar lines, would be the chevauchee by Edward the Black Prince in the hundred years war, or the march to the sea by General Sherman. Marauding bands of raiders create an intolerable situation for the other party, as in many ways, it represents a rapid imposition of civilizational collapse in microcosm; the breakdown of his security over property, trade, and complex coordination.

    Yet another example would be the doctrine of fortified marches used by roman legions for several centuries; where the legion would march one day, then set up dug-in encampments the next, alternating off and on, leaving a string of defensible positions in their wake. Such that, on the one hand, they would be well prepared in case of an enemy attack; and on the other hand, they could eventually transform the battlespace into an environment completely in their favor without even meeting the enemy, if they were simply left to their own devices.

    The red army in the later days of the second war of wilsonian aggression widely employed infiltration tactics, which touch on a number of these dynamics; filing troops ahead under cover of darkness, where they dig into fortified breastworks over night behind the enemies lines; which are then reinforced with more men the next night; and then heavy equipment the next; and then you deconstruct the enemies positions in detail with spotting for ordnance, and then the cycle continues.

    The footsoldier is the world’s oldest autonomous guided weapon system; use of ranging bands for sniping, directing ordnance, and raiding soft targets are all classical methods of creating intolerable situations for an adversary; something not quite attack, but not quite sitting in your dugouts with the garrison troops waiting for an attack, either.

    One of the most striking things about ‘modern warfare’, is how warfighters under modernity so often do not just neglect the use of new tools in aretic manners, they do not use preexisting tools in aretic manners either.

      Very good point. What is going on here?

      We have an officer class that it horribly off its game. Is perhaps the problem that they are being trained by priests of the officially unofficial religion, rather than warriors?

        >Is perhaps the problem that they are being trained by priests of the officially unofficial religion, rather than warriors?

        The pink-pill Samo Burja/Dominic Cummings/Zeihan style polygon-adjacent answer would be that, while masters can transmit accumulated wisdom to apprentices, ‘institutions’ cannot transmit accumulated wisdom to anyone. The more institutions transmute away from existence as essentially formalizations of a preexisting social group, and more towards existence as abstract ‘institutions’ that exist in of themselves, with the meatbags being merely interchangeable widgets, the stupider they become. Or in other words, the less time people spend with the same people, the more dysfunctional the institution; the more time people spend with the same people, the more adroit the institution.

        Adding more redness to the equation, i have mentioned this before, but it bears repeating: the Vietnam War was a notable watermark, as this made obvious a major turning point had taken place; the first time significant commanding heights of power in the wilsonian empire came under the direction of men who were drinking their own kool-aide.

        In this as in so many other spheres, I suspect a lot of it comes down to the vanishing of historical awareness and literacy. Do you think “military science” is any different from other “sciences” in thinking that if something happened more than 20-30 years ago it basically belongs to the realm of myth and superstition?

        I highly doubt they’re thinking or studying WWI or even Vietnam. They’re studying South Ossetia and Afghanistan. Wars before the 20th century, not a chance in hell. That’s a specialty that’s been assigned to archivists, and maybe a short course in officer training school. Same story as in every other educational institution and field of knowledge.

        Napoleon, meanwhile, read everything he could get his hands on about every war and every general he knew about. Obsessively, and often multiple times. He was also dealing with new technologies and political formations and yet still found history a useful, powerful guide.

        Russia might be more historically aware than most nations, but they also happen to suffer from a crippling set of interpretive neuroses, caused by their turbulent 20th century. This leads to sometimes confusing outcomes and strange, contradictory beliefs. Was Lenin a wicked Bolshevik or a heroic Russian George Washington? Are you fighting for Tsar and Patriarch or multicultural federalism and religious liberty? Why, exactly, are your men hoisting the Soviet flag on their tanks and captured buildings? You are fighting against “nationalism” but for the Russian right to national self-determination? And so on.

        I suspect military matters also be infected with this sloppy, hazy thinking and typical Russian sentimentalism and dishonesty with self. Like thinking that (a) Ukrainians are “brothers” while also, astonishingly, being so naive and historically illiterate as to think that (b) brothers can’t fight brothers.

        Remember 1917, Vladimir? Or most of history?

          • Anon Poaster says:

            The light infantry tactics described by Pseudo-Chrysostom are not particularly used by modern militaries, true. The only thing that perhaps comes close in my mind is the Second Congo War, where Rwanda went to war with a far larger and more heavily armed and mechanised coalition comprising the basically half of Central Africa, and soundly defeated them through use of light infantry raids.

            Rwandan light infantry raids broke the coalition. The RDF, which had no tanks, no airpower, no artillery, annihilated armoured coalition formations in pitched battles. Suggests that light infantry tactics aren’t irrelevant in an age of airpower and armour.

            Then again, given the racial differences between the RDF’s Tutsi officer corps and other Africans, maybe the outcome was never in doubt. Historically in Rwanda the Tutsi were warrior-elites and wealthy pastoralists, probably indicative of a higher IQ and a more martial mentality, explaining why they won the war.

            My impression is that the Russian historical neurosis is less about dumb “racists” than an uncomfortable mental friction resulting from Russia’s abundant national pride combined with its less than proud history. I hate to use the cathedrally-sounding word “trauma” but it seems kind of apt here.

            Unlike East Germany, which was able to just merge back into German history, or Hungary and other satellite states which could just blame the Soviets for their woes, Russians after 1991, forming their national identity, were confronted with the prospect of a simple 70 year gap, the idea that their fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers had slaved and died for something wicked. No nation wants that. So they’ve put together this confusing patchwork of selectively remembered, superficial history which makes it very hard to confront reality when it comes knocking, indifferent to your petty identity issues.

            Honestly, this might just belong to the Russian national character. In War & Peace, Tolstoy wonderfully draws out the ironies of the officer class and aristocracy which had all these romantic, arrogant, confused and contradictory notions about Mother Russia, its love for the Tsar combined with its fascination with liberalism, Napoleonism, and all things French, and who were all shocked when their romantic notions crumbled upon actual contact with Napoleon’s armies. (The second half, for the record, also shows the classic Russian ability to get their shit together when they wake up with Moscow surrounded…)

            Americans on the right are dealing with something similar now. “Wait, so, Grandpa fought for a tranny pride parade empire? Wait, were we the bad guys all along?” I hate to think that about my grandfathers. It’s a natural psychological reaction, but bad for politics and making war.

            (Still a million times better than a tranny pride parade empire, though.)

            Persons possessed of a demotist weltanschauung operate within a certain ideological toolbox; actions encouraged within this box are good for destroying countries – see for example the arab spring, their own countries, and so on; but actions that would lead to victory, and more especially the transmutation of victory into order, are not permissible – see for example afghanistan, vietnam, afghanistan again, iraq, and afghanistan yet again. Thus such persons, if they nominally intend to gain victory, can never truly attain it, engaging in cargo-cult like displacement activities that look like making an effort, but accomplish worse than nothing; quixotic windmill tilting until they eventually waste themselves out.

                  Australia has a monoparty. Liberal and Labor rather suddenly became utterly indistinguishable. Australia does not have primaries.

In this election, the third parties were about to slaughter the monoparty, and to prevent this from happening, the counting of third party ballots was halted. They just ignored their votes. Third party scrutineers were in tears.

                  The political leadership, world wide, all in the same week, has locked down the establishment politicians from outsiders as a result of the recent success of ultra maga candidates in the primaries. The failure to count third party ballots in Australia happened at the same time as establishment candidates in the Republican primaries suddenly stopped losing and suddenly started winning, often by entirely improbable margins.

                  That both events happened almost simultaneously indicates a single decision made by a group of men small enough to meet around a coffee table and feel each other’s breath, and obeyed in lockstep world wide throughout the global American empire.

                  The senate charged him with a pile of crimes, for which he would surely have been found guilty, which would have resulted in a death sentence. At the time he had acquired enormous wealth by conquering Gaul. It obviously did not do him much good.

                  In the events that resulted in Pompey being made temporary dictator, it was completely obvious that elections were being decided wholly by physical control of the voting, by violence, and by selectively ineffectual law enforcement.

                  One faction got a more effectual team of thugs, the other faction called in Pompey, a military officer. And made him temporarily dictator.

                  They went after the ngos, an action far more dangerous than going after black people. Those guys had balls like I have seldom seen.

                  They were after wholesale massive fraud that is organized on a very large scale – something that you just do not see blacks engaged in even in the cocaine and fentanyl trade.

                  It is not the blacks. The blacks just do retail fraud. Since they were after wholesale fraud, you would no more expect to see blacks involved than if you went after a pallet load of cocaine.

                  The filtration criteria of the two thousand mules video implicitly excluded blacks. They looked for trips between ngo offices and ballot boxes, and then they pulled up official (and officially ignored) video of what happened at those ballot boxes at the time of the visit. You think you are going to see blacks at an ngo office? They were not interested in the small scale stuff for which blacks are so rightly infamous.

                  Black fraud has been an insignificant problem in American elections for a long time, and has been utterly insignificant compared to large scale fraud since the 2020 election.

                  That is a long way, though, from blacks being “irrelevant.” Fraud is much easier in places with cultures of cheap corruption, e.g. urban black America.

                  To stay with the cocaine analogy: sure, we’d still have cocaine consumption without black retailers, but drop a ton of cocaine in a neighborhood with a thousand retailers and you have the recipe not only for a violent post-apocalyptic jungle like Baltimore or Detroit, and all the associated violence, but also for cocaine being sold to all sorts of people who wouldn’t otherwise think of or know how to buy it and the start of an endemic problem which only spreads.

                  Fraud has always been a part of elections like drugs have always been part of the human experience. But set up anarchic self-governing domestic colonies like Detroit and Chicago and suddenly fraud gets easier and easier.

                  Aa scrutineer for Australia project, complained of minor party votes not being counted according to procedure. During the election, one of the minor parties initiated legal action about normal process not being followed.

                  Minor parties in Australia perform the same check on the political establishment that Republican primaries perform in America. This election happened at the same time as the winning streak of Ultra Maga Republicans in the primaries mysteriously ended.

                  I have not checked the evidence for fraud in either case. What I have checked is that there is a strange lack of interest in the normal safeguards against fraud being suddenly and strangely inoperative, and a profound lack of curiosity about the possibility of fraud and numerous things strongly suggestive of fraud. Lots of funny stuff in the Republican primaries, about which there is a curious lack of curiosity..

                  Which fraud cannot be proven because all the usual means for detecting it have quietly ceased to function. And that I certainly can and have checked out. It could have happened, and the minor parties say it did. And that it could have happened means that it almost certainly did, because in the past elections were conducted by procedures that guaranteed that it could not have happened.

                  Sovereign Citizen is a very old scam that has been shilled on the internet for at least sixteen years or so, albeit by private sector shills. From memory, Sovereign Citizen spam appeared a couple of years or so after the Greencard Lawyer spam, which first appeared in April 1994, so probably have been shilling this since around 1998 or so, since the shills came a bit after the spammers came. Which would make shilling Sovereign Citizen on the internet about a quarter of a century old.

                Just to clarify, I don’t think the blacks are running The fraud machine. they have their own fraud machines, but they only work on black communities and other races in areas where they have the population majority. What I was originally postulating is that the New Left jumped onto American Civil Rights so that urban areas would be handed over to black control. Once they have it, the laws go out the window and anyone can set up shop and run any kind of opperation on their turf, so long as the resident King Watermelon gets his gibbs. Sure, not many blacks working at the NGO, but where are those NGOs located? Where do the NGOs pull their staff and agents from?

                The Race Question is separate from the Negro Question. The RQ is important and universal in applicability, but the NQ is specific to the United States.

                  Where is an ngo located? It is located in Massachusetts. New York, or Washington, though it may well find it convenient to operate a stash house in a black area to distribute ballots that were printed up in Washintgon, and when a runner goes to to the stash house to get paid, he is paid by a Jew or a dot Indian who answers to a Jew in Washington.

                  The recent Republican primaries were not stolen by blacks, the Australian elections were not stolen by blacks.

                  The ballot box stuffing was videotaped on official video, and the official videos were transmitted to a central location. And officially ignored. No blacks were involved in the decision to ignore the videos.

                  Long ago, ballot box stuffing was local, it was just a few rotten apples, and the rotten apples were primarily black people in black areas.

              Where “collapse” is mere five percent real growth per year, while GDP in the US has been actually collapsing for some time, disguised by creativity with the Consumer Price Index. If we were capable of useful automation, it would be rising.

              People are getting poorer, have been getting poorer for some considerable time, and now getting poorer a lot faster. The grandchildren of a working class man who had a car, a stay at home wife, and small house with a modest garden in the suburbs, are in dual income no kids relationships, and despite that live in little boxes.

                  They even laid out publicly plans like 5-6 years ago, how the heavy industry will first migrate into heartland China to raise it economically, while the coasts shift to a post-industrial economy, and then the heavy industry migrates across the border, uplifting gradually everyone along the way through Central and South Asia, then into the Middle East and Africa, while China itself becomes a postindustrial pristine utopia.

            Another thing to remember is that you need actual living, working human beings to have an economy.

            You can throw all the cash you want at an economy, but if there’s no one to do the work you just end up with more inflation, money sitting in bank accounts, and probably (knowing Ukraine) buttloads of simple old-fashioned corruption.

              They had inherited the breadbasket land of the USSR, half the industry (in the eastern Ukraine), and the first echelon army prepped for taking down NATO (Russia inherited the second echelon of older weaponry).

              And of course the best south sea coast of the USSR, which they also now seem on the verge of losing.

              The Ukraine’s starting position at the collapse of the USSR was potentially the best of all of Eastern Europe. The biggest population, the biggest territory, the best land, serious industry, an army that was at least equivalent of that of France.

              It sucked in the sense that life in the USSR would always suck, but among the inheritors of the collapsed empire they had a head start that should literally have made them a regional giant in a decade.

              Eastern Europeans are known for pissing away any inherent advantage, but this, this is epic.

              Many observers suspect that today right now the real physical population of the Ukraine, even if counting the recently lost territories, is under 30 million.

              Georgia, Armenia, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Moldova, they were all propped up by Russian, Belorussian, and Ukrainian generated funds, and had pretty utopian lifestyles by Soviet measures.

                  Neither were they slave-owners, they were in fact the slaves wherever slavery was practiced in adjacent regions. The Slavs especially, unless ruled by an external warrior tribe from the steppes or some sort of Germanics, were the stereotypical “can everyone just leave us the fuck alone” ethnicity.

                  They are white negroes in the sense the Irish always have been until allegedly recently. Ireland however is an island microcosms, whereas the eastern white is part of a vast civilizational layer.

                  This also applies to Central Asia. The Tajiks, for example, are the true Aryans as official state policy.

                  2. Communism is what differentiates EE from other eternal victims such as the Irish and the Finns, and Central Asia from other Asian former colonies.

                  The last generation more or less insulated from Globohomo’s more obviously insane traits due to remembering Soviet-type communism are the middle-aged.

                  However the combination of centuries of colonial status and decades of communism does create certain specifics which include a more passive and crooked non-can-do form of every man for himself, and also the subliminal expectation that things will go really well if they find the right type of master.

                  This is of course largely the case because, 1. dealing with social entropy in all it’s vagarious forms would be annoying in most kinds of sim type games, 2. implementing such things in ways that resembles reality would be very difficult in most cases to begin with, incurring radically inflating scope creep, and 3. it’s a more esoteric plane of phenomena for a man to get a grip on with his mind’s eye in the first place – and more particularly for such kinds of men that one may more often find designing such kinds games.

                  China still trades dollars for oil. Saudi Arabia still trades oil for dollars. When countries no longer trade dollars for oil (and vice versa), US funny money will become worthless toilet paper and it will be time to flee the American Empire.

                • Meanwhile India and China are continuing to enjoy discounted Russian oil regardless of uncle Joe’s stern admonitions.

                  You know India more than me. Has India completely abandoned the dollar?

                  If the dollar is to lose reserve status, we will see countries outright abandoning all dollar transactions. They will be holding 0 US dollars and will want all trade done in another currency, as there will be no point into holding worthless paper. It will be a stampede to the exit. Not seeing a stampede yet, countries are getting antsy and testing other options.

                  Cracks in the foundation are surely showing, but I’m not so convinced the building is on the verge of collapse.

                  History shows large Empires do not fall overnight. It tends to be a slow process of decline.

                • @pooch, At the moment no. India is trying to ride both horses, not committing to either.

                • Pooch says:

                  Ah ok. Seems like Saudi Arabia is doing something similar to an extent, riding both horses.

                  It will be an interesting thing to monitor and will be a leading indicator of US Empire military strength.

                • Kunning Druegger says:

                  History does show that large empires disappear overnight, as in the USSR. Looking at the timeline from our lofty gay heights, it is easy to point out the inflection points that made the 90s collapse obvious. But almost no one in the moment saw it coming. One day, there was a Communist Empire, the next day there wasn’t.

                  Given that America is a communist country, The communist country, it is reasonable to assume it will follow the same pattern, with China playing the same role that the US did in Russia. I don’t think it will be a 1:1 situation, but it will be near as makes no difference. Biden is like a super Gorbachev, the managerial class is subsumed by apple snagging, the military leadership is decrepit and incompetent, the vassal states are incredibly exposed to martial manipulation, and the propaganda is in luxurious overdrive about how everything is coming up Millhouse.

                  I’m not saying it will be this June, but I expect it to happen in June, the high holy month of American Communism.

                  “ Europe has to grow out of mindset that its problems are world’s problems,but world’s problems aren’t Europe’s problems.”

                  “ This is construct you’re trying to impose on India. Don’t think it’s necessary for India to join any axis.India entitled to make its own choices which will be a balance of its values &interests”

                  This is as aggressive an answer I’ve seen an Indian minister give when challenged to choose between the Europe/the West and Russia/China.

                  I know this is a popular opinion on the Right made famous by Moldbug, but I disagree with the premise that America is the Soviet Union ripe to fall.

                  The Soviet Union did not collapse because it was living out its Communist ideals too fervently or being “too Communist”. The Soviet Union collapsed because it was not Communist enough.

                  It collapsed because it did not resemble North Korea or China and became undermined by the West socially, culturally, and psychologically. They were memed into it. Yeltsin, who pulled the trigger on dissolution, was an American puppet.

                  The problem with this argument is that China is economically dependent on America in a way that America was not economically dependent on the Soviet Union.

                  If America collapses overnight like the way the USSR collapsed overnight we would see massive instability in the world reserve currency, the shipping lanes, and the movement of goods globally. China does not want this. Nobody wants this. This was not the case for the Soviet Union. The collapse of the Soviet Union had little effect on the world economy.

                  America is a world power in a way that the Soviet Union was genuinely not a world power and history shows that world powers fall more like Rome, not the Soviet Union.

    Russians are using drones to pretty good effect. They have a fairly good information grasp of the battlefield, as I understand it.

    Eg, every time the Ukies set up a new artillery piece; zoopark hears it, a drone finds it, then Russian artillery / missiles wipe it out.

    Currently I think the western media has no clue what Russia is doing. As far as I can tell, Russia does not consider themselves really at war and hasn’t gone all in.

    Regarding networks etc. That really doesn’t matter per se in this conflict; they’re in there to remove the militia, that’s it.

    As you say often too – actual competence in the US is incredibly low. Consider the self own of the sanctions. Russia will probably not be too forgiving towards the USG considering they’ve been forced into a war with their own brother state.

    > Maybe neither the Russians nor the Ukrainians have them.
    I would bet you average Ukraine/Russian warrior IQ is higher than the USG military at the moment.

    At Lockheed’s Lighthouse you can watch all of the cyberattacks in real time. PLA/China commonly attack from Brazilian servers.

    I mentioned artillery before and Russia is just following the 2nd Chechen war playbook. I think the real story of Ukraine is WEF training up a counter insurgency military to try and come to the US. For all anyone knows, NATO is just transferring hardware to the Russian military to drawdown our own armories and fill the WEF armory.

    WEF loses when normies get together locally and relearn monkey wrenching and apply to digital control infrastructure.

        Hot-N-Ready Little Caesar raises the Praetorians?

        https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/state/2022/06/15/desantis-names-florida-marine-veteran-lead-florida-state-guard/7635725001/

        DeSantis is reactivating the Florida State Guard, a defense force solely under the governors’s authority, which hasn’t existed since 1947. The concept isn’t novel and about half of US states have something like this, but the timing, rhetoric surrounding the move, and the fact that it’s DeSantis make this notable. From the article:

        “There is no posted COVID-19 vaccine mandate, unlike the Florida National Guard and other military components under the Department of Defense.

        DeSantis highlighted the force’s lack of a vaccine mandate at the press conference. He blasted the federal government for discharging unvaccinated troops and has repeatedly described the Florida State Guard as a “landing spot” for unvaccinated service members.”

        So we will have at least one unvaxxed (para)military organization in the US, likely made up heavily of discharged and soon to be discharged servicemen, or men who would otherwise have joined the military, who have already confirmed themselves as dissidents against the COVID regime.

        Obligatory screeching:

        “Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried — a Democratic gubernatorial contender — described the effort as “alarming” and “scary.” She blasted DeSantis as a “authoritarian dictator.”

        Democratic Congressman and gubernatorial contender Charlie Crist slammed the force as the governor’s “hand-picked secret police.”

        • jim says:

          A hand picked secret police to impose and enforce free and honest elections is what DeSantis is going to need if he hopes for a second term.

          Digressing to the topic of the decline of Republics. If the sovereign has to have a hand picked secret police to avoid having elections stolen from him, it is likely that by and by you will get a sovereign that ensures elections are stolen to him. Also clobber any members of the official or officially unofficial state Church that complain about it.
