No nation with a gay parade wins wars

Israel has just been defeated yet again.

Three days ago they invaded to Gaza to put a stop to intolerable organized acts of war by the government of Gaza. Were militarily defeated.

This was rationalized as a one off bungle. These things happen, but now, rather than trying again with the supposed errors rectified, they are seeking a peace treaty that restores and legitimizes the intolerable status quo ante that they sought to change, indicating not merely one bad mistake, but an incapacity to make war.

Tolerating gays makes it impossible for men to express love and affection for each other. This undermines unit cohesion. Also trannies and women in the military undermine unit cohesion. And putting logistics and nurses in uniform and calling them soldiers rather than camp followers, embeds, and military contractors denies warriors the honor that is their rightful due.

Gaza does not have gay parades. Israel does. So Gaza wins, Israel loses. Israel has not won a war since they started allowing gay parades. Sooner or later, the Arab world is going to realize that Europe is weak, Israel is weak. There is a lot of loot and unowned chicks in Europe and Israel.

    You know some of those Israeli girls a hawt. When the Arabs over run Israel and they have to flee to the USA that will be our big chance to secure them ka-zar milkers and high IQ alleles.

    So I was standing around next to a tv. The main tv news program in Brazil, it was talking about how the government would give pregnant women the right to re-schedule their exams for the “military police”. I’ve also overheard stories about the military police forces (they are just state level police forces tasked with walking around and actually engaging with criminals, as opposed to investigating crimes) being sued for having requirements like not being hiv positive, or being “masculine”. And then people wonder why Brazil has 60,000 murders every year and they have to call in the army to occupy the urban slums and even then organized crime clearly has the upper hand. One of the reasons Bolsonaro got elected but that is a disaster (according to the media) is because he kept saying cops should shot criminals when they are being shot, while the media kept pumping out stories about the poor kids caught in the crossfire and the evil police that should be more careful and not cause criminals to fire around schools. I can’t help but feel this country is doomed and Bolsonaro is weak both in intent and ability. Brazil has gay pride parades. My only question is who is going to actually be ruling Brazil in 10 years.

        Comment deleted because as usual, it presupposes that whomever you think are our intellectual leaders agree that we are ruled by The Capitalist Class, that everyone knows this is true and it entirely uncontroversial, much as 9/11 troofers presuppose that everyone knows and agrees that World Trade Center Building seven abruptly fell straight down in free fall for no apparent reason.

        If you want to argue Marxist Class Theory, you are going to have to explicitly make arguments providing evidence for Marxist Class Theory, rather taking for granted that whoever you think are the intellectual leaders of your audience knows that it is true.

            You never present evidence that provides reason to believe that capitalism consists of rule by the capitalist class.

            You present evidence for all manner of things that presupposes that everyone already knows and agrees that capitalism consists of rule by the capitalist class, much as 9/11 troofer never presents evidence that World Trade Center building seven fell straight down at free fall speed onto its own footprint for no apparent reason, but presents enormous piles of undeniable and compelling evidence that given that everyone agrees, and absolutely no one denies, that it fell straight down on its own footprint for no apparent reason, it must have been demolished by Mossad.

            • Carlylean Restorationist says:

              > “You never present evidence that provides reason to believe that capitalism consists of rule by the capitalist class.”

              Because I’ve never once argued that that’s the case.

              What I’ve argued, as well you know, is that the capitalists are just yet another part of the broad coalition of the people who rule over us. That coalition includes all the people you say it includes, but it also includes the capitalists.

              The evidence I presented was fwd.us and ProPublica and the reason you will never let that evidence through is that it’s prima facie proof that what I’m saying is 100% correct and what you’re saying (that they do it under duress) is 100% wrong.

              You’re not brave enough to allow people to judge things on merit so you come up with six million excuses as to why you’re reluctantly forced to censor it away.

              • jim says:

                Indeed you have never argued for Marxist Class Theory. And that is exactly the problem, for no matter what you purportedly are arguing for, you argue from within a frame that presupposes Marxist class theory, that everyone knows and agrees with Marxist Class Theory, that Capitalism consists of rule by The Capitalist Class, just as 9/11 Troofer no matter what he is purportedly arguing for, argues within the frame that everyone knows and agrees that there as no commercial airliner wreckage at the Pentagon, and that World Trade Center fell straight down at free fall speeds onto its own footprint for no apparent reason.

                Should you present an argument within the frame of Molbuggian caste theory, or similar reactionary class, caste, and tribe theories – for example Warrior, Priest, Merchant, I will pass it.

                But no matter what you purportedly argue for, it is always a trojan horse for smuggling in the appearance of universal consensus on Cultural Marxism. There is no such consensus, and I will not allow the continued pretense that their is.

                You could be purportedly arguing that the sky is blue, but you would present evidence for its blueness that presupposes shared agreement that capitalism consists of The Capitalist Class ruling.

                  You’re projecting Jim. You want to impose YOUR assumptions so you accuse me of doing that.

                  YOU assume that if capitalists are lobbying the government for immigration and prison reform, THEN Marxist Class Theory would be correct. I’ve never argued that because I don’t think it’s true.

                  I DON’T think that *all* bourgeois people share a common interest and I DON’T think that *all* proletarians share a common interest. World War One pretty much put paid to that notion once and for all.

                  That of course doesn’t mean the term “working class” has no meaning. There exists, in the real world, such a thing as people who will never own or run a business, nor will they live from capital gains or interest. Rather, they live through wages paid to them by somebody else for assisting in that person’s business.

                  If you’re going to deny that phenomenon ontological validity then I don’t know what to say to you.

                  Either way, ProPublica is a doxxing machine entirely funded by venture capitalists and Wall Street, while fwd.us is a lobby group that describes itself as entrepreneurial and innovative and consists of some of the richest people on the planet, none of whom obtained their wealth by providing governmental services at the barrel of a gun but on the contrary made their money selling products on the open market.

                  If you’re going to say that Bill Gates’ fortune is illegitimate on account of Windows’ ‘unfair market share’ then again I don’t know what to say to you because if anyone’s arguing from left-wing premises it’s not me.

                  Either way, my evidence stands and I respect the fact you allowed it through. (I don’t trust you to leave it there for a month, and I will check lol)

                  If people are curious, they can do their own due diligence and I’m confident they will NOT come out saying “damn, look what the government made *those* guys do”

                • jim says:

                  This evidence is not evidence for anything that anyone is likely to care about, except in the context and frame of Marxist Class Theory, just as the evidence provided by 9/11 troofers is not evidence for anything anyone is likely to care about, except in the context that there was no plane wreckage at the pentagon, and World Trade Center building abruptly fell straight down on its own footprint for no apparent reason.

                  Bill Gates is trying to win holiness points by doing pointless stupid hypocritical progressive things, but the stuff he does is damaging Subsaharan Africans, not me. Why should I care? If he was trying to earn holiness points by getting black male military age Muslims asylum in the US then I would care, if he was earning holiness point by actions in the US rather than actions in black Africa then I would care. But the more Africans he kills, the better.

                  That Bill Gates is doing stupid pious stuff in Africa only matters if The Capitalist Class rules the world. If on the other hand his actions merely show merchants desperately begging priests for status points by acts of foolish pointless piety, which is what they look like, who cares? No problem for me, only a problem for Black Africans.

                  Bill Gates in Africa looks very like a merchant begging priests for crumbs of status, just as World Trade Center building seven looks very like a building falling into the square south of it from fires and damage to its south side.

                • Carlylean Restorationist says:

                  The thing is Jim, this is why I lost all respect for you.

                  You’ve proven yourself incapable of resisting the urge to just lie. That’s not a good quality, it’s the quality of someone with an agenda: you want to push your particular version of reality (basically NRx with a strong capitalist and weak nationalist flavour, at least that’s how I read it) and you don’t really care how many times you have to lie to do it.

                  I don’t respect that.

                  You couldn’t RESIST straw-manning. I linked fwd.us (funded by Bill Gates and others and couched in explicitly capitalistic terms, which lobbies government FOR certain policies, rather than going along to get along) and you replied to the imagined claim that Bill Gates is up to no good in Africa.

                  Now I’m sure he IS up to no good in Africa, but that isn’t what fwd.us is about, not even close.

                  They lobby the US government for particular policies, more specifically they advocate on behalf of the Dreamers, and for lax immigration in general, and they advocate on behalf of prison inmates for better conditions and, ultimately, less incarceration.

                  As for ProPublica, they’re a doxxing outfit that finds the names of American nationalists in order to have them persecuted by the American authorities and fired from their American jobs.

                  They may well undertake additional activities in Africa, but that’s not the point under discussion, as well you know.

                  You just couldn’t resist attacking Africa because it was so much easier for you.

                  Now no doubt you’ll selectively and strategically censor this comment and claim I’m talking about Marxist Class Theory or some other fiction.

                  This readiness to suppress the truth and spread falsehood is precisely what makes me suspect you of being Carlyle’s “superlative Hebrew Conjuror,
                  spell-binding all the great Lords”.

                  To put it rather mildly, I don’t exactly approve of that kind of thing. It’s rather filthy and disgusting.

                • jim says:

                  It is absolutely clear that capitalists are generally well to the right of the general population, and that they promote policies generally well to the right, and that members of the priestly classes shake them down.

                  As you say, fwd.us lobbies for policies immensely damaging to Americans, and is funded by a laundry list of capitalists, Bill Gates among them.

                  The Clinton foundation also promoted policies immensely damaging to Americans and it was funded by a laundry list of capitalists, Donald Trump among them. From this, should we conclude that capitalism caused the Clintons and that Clinton’s policies are the result of Donald Trump pursuing a profit, and are pursued for the profit of Donald Trump, that the Clintons pursued the policies that they did because they were in the interests of Donald Trump, and that regulating pizza baking will prevent the capitalist class from promoting leftism?

                  What will stop the capitalist class from promoting leftism is reducing priestly regulation of Merchants and the warrior class, rather than the priestly class, in charge of the distribution of honors to merchants.

                  Capitalists did and do cause H1B visas, which are in their interests. Illegal immigration, releasing criminals from prison and importing them from Africa and Latin America to come to the US to live on crime and welfare are very much not in their interests, and the argument that it somehow is in their interests is absurd and rests on Marxist Class Theory.

                  Bill Gates does some or most of the stuff he does out pursuit of status, but fwd.us is a much a mop for graft money as the Clinton Foundation was.

                  Property owners are well to the right of the average American median voter, holders further to the right than the average property owner, big shareholders further to the right that the average property shareholder, and left wing policies are absolutely hostile to the interests of shareholders.

                  In particular, and most importantly from the point of view of people like Bill Gates and Donald Trump, Sarbanes Oxley and the multitude of laws that the Human Resources Department deals with makes the board and the CEO criminals.

                  In the firing of Damore by Google, Human Resources prepared grounds for a hostile environment lawsuit against the upper management of Google should Damore not be fired. Maybe they wanted to fire him anyway, maybe they were not unwilling, but I am sure they do not want Human Resources and accounting preparing lawsuits against other branches of corporate management, and I am sure the CEO, whether or not he is happy about firing Damore, is not happy about Human Resources preparing hostile environment and sexual harassment lawsuits against CEOs.

                Most of the public doesn’t own individual stocks. Those who do are far more likely to support Trump then those who don’t.

                  Most stockholders go through brokers and move between variants of that firm’s ‘funds’. In fact most people just let their broker handle everything.
                  Most people in American stocks own Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, Netflix and Alphabet (Google).
                  That means most stockholders ARE bankrolling the poz.

                  “Small businessmen are far far far more likely to support Trump then the general public.”

                  Sure but big ones definitely don’t. Seriously, fwd.us – these are entrepreneurs acting AS entrepreneurs; they proudly say so. Then they take the profits we give them and lobby government for open borders and prison reform.

                  Sure the little guy doesn’t necessarily do that (but don’t ignore how he benefits from cheap labour and an expanding consumer-base).

                • jim says:

                  Your evidence that big shareholders promote leftism can also be read as evidence that big shareholders are terrorized by hostile leftists.

                  You can make a case that open borders promotes the interests of capitalist, though it is absurd to claim that welfare and prison reform promotes the interests of capitalists. But regardless of whether it does or does not, it is obvious that giving Human Resources and Accounting the upper hand over big shareholders is not in the interests of big shareholders, and yet the the evidence you provide that big capitalists promote leftism, is also evidence that big shareholders promote laws and policies that make them powerless and afraid before accounting and human resources.

                  A more plausible interpretation of this evidence is that leftists get money in large part because big shareholders are frightened of human resources, and leftists therefore promote policies that give more power to accounting and human resources, and make big shareholders more frightened of human resources and accounting, much as the Clinton foundation received money from big capitalists, Donald Trump among them, and proceeded to promote policies that were not merely damaging to Donald Trump’s interests, but were hostile to and contemptuous of Donald Trump personally and individually.

                  Again, in the case of Google firing Damore, regardless whether the board were secretly for Damore or secretly against him, I am sure that they were secretly against Human Resources cooking up grounds for a lawsuit against them should they fail to fire Damore, that regardless of whether they were in secretly in favor of Damore, they were secretly against Human Resources and accounting having the power to destroy them.

Socialist antisemitism is merely a pose, just as socialist warmism is just a pose.

                  If someone says “Jews are terrible”, likely he is telling us what he truly believes. If someone says “Jews are terrible, therefore socialism”, he believes in socialism but he is lying about what he believes about Jews.

                  Reading the ClimateGate files it is obvious that the leading warmists do not care whether Global Warming is real or not, let alone whether it is Catastrophic or Anthropogenic. Similarly, whosoever tells us “Jews are terrible, therefore socialism” does not care whether Jews are terrible or not.

                  After reflection, my attitude on the (((Christ-killers))) is as follows:

                  I greatly prefer and admire the right-wing nationalist warriors Jews to the left-wing priest prog Jews, and support the former over the latter. Israel should have her country, and America her countries. Then when the globalist Commies are routed worldwide, we can settle accounts as nation-states. The Jews are in debt past their yarmulkes for white Christian blood spilled, and the final solution for those who will not sincerely convert before the scythe starts swinging is elimination.

                  Ally with the Muslims to get it done; the elder heresy dies first. Then liquidate the Muslims in their turn.

                  Therefore I endorse Trump’s alliance with right-wing Jews in the USA as a temporally-appropriate measure.

                  Similarly, it’s fine for him to ally with based Kanye now, even though I envision the deportation of all halfricans to the motherland, followed by a gradual conquest of sub-Sahara, following the North American pattern of ethnic cleansing. There is a path to semi-whiteness and survival in the 90 IQ zones for the halfrican elite paternal bloodlines, which should secure the loyalty of the mixed-caste vanguard.

                  I write this not to be grandiose, but because envisioning a desireable grand plan can help the myopic discern between politic compromise and insidious betrayal. And even perhaps prevent the hotheaded from acting out of unwarranted despair. Dare to dream on the scale of the social engineers who have flooded North America with nonwhites. The stars will not yield their virgin vaults to those who dare not meet their twinkling eyes.

                  Nuts

                  People have been trying to ally with Muslims for a thousand years. Always a disaster.

                  Jews get unduly creative in interpreting contracts and promises. Muslims ignore contracts and promises.

                  Jews engage in crony capitalism. Muslims fly airliners into tall buildings.

                  Ally is a strong word. Use them as cannon fodder to attack a common enemy and absorb possible nukes was all I really meant. Obviously perfidious Islam intends to conquer all, and that will never change.

                  If someone prefers to eradicate Islam first and then settle accounts with “Israel” afterwards, I don’t think it’s worth arguing about. Local circumstances will dictate prudent policy, and that is impossible to predict at this remove.

                  The relevant point is that Trump’s current alliances with right-wing Jews and the non-Democrat aligned portion of the House of Saud are not reasons to blackpill oneself into irrelevancy or suicide spree shooting. The role of the extreme Alt-White is to use Trump’s defense of traditional American values such as free speech to undermine and expose the internal contradictions of the Boomer Weimerican ethos that Trump represents. Overall, the Daily Stormer does a great job of this.

                  This presupposes that there is something wrong with Trump’s position on Israel and his conspicuous alliance with right wing Jews and Zionist Jews.

                  Obviously, we should follow the peace of Westphalia with all who are willing to go along with the peace of Westphalia – And temple Judaism was always willing to go along with what we now call the peace of Westphalia. They only wanted to annihilate groups such as the worshipers of Moloch who kept successfully exporting their religion into Israel.

                  Muslims, on the other hand, are prohibited by their religion from adhering to what we now call the peace of Westphalia. Like progressives, they keep exporting their religion and imposing it on everyone. And since a religion is a synthetic tribe, this necessarily results in war or submission.

                  Israel should be Jewish, and America should not be Jewish. This means that only adherents to official Judaism should be allowed state and quasi state positions in Israel, and Jews should not be allowed state and quasi state position in America unless they convert to America’s official religion. And in practice, in America, they are not allowed state and quasi state positions unless they convert to America’s official religion.

                  Unfortunately, America’s official religion is progressivism, and Jews convert to it in large numbers in the expectation of getting state and quasi state positions. Having converted, they do not have Jewish grandchildren, which would be a fine solution to the Jewish problem except that our official religion is insane.

                  It’s not my presupposition. I got the idea from how seemingly all the Alt-White Gabbers have turned against Trump, while I keep supporting him. I tend to develop my thoughts in response to opposition.

                  I support Temple Judaism before Christ, of course. After Christ, the problem is that it is by definition only composed of people who reject Christ. Nothing good can be made out of such a self-selecting population, because everything good leaves it.

                  Otherwise, I agree with your analysis. I support an Israel with a temple, that returns from exile.

    The thing isn’t really whether you *need* aliens for people with chronic backstabbing syndrome to incontrovertibly reveal themselves with unconscionable moves; people of such comportment would need to exist before hand in the first place. Rather, that the presence of aliens makes it a lot *easier* for the congenitally treasonous to come up with novel ways to commit treason, to hitherto impossible degrees.

      I was thinking, elections aren’t that bad, they should be held once a year, with open ballots. That way, you know what has to happen to win with 100% of the votes next year.

              “[Antifa] better hope that the other side doesn’t mobilize,” Trump concluded, “Because if you look, the other side, it’s the military. It’s the police. It’s a lot of very strong, a lot of very tough people. Tougher than them. And smarter than them.”

The main complaint against open ballots was the ability of powerful locals, like large land owners, to pressure those in their area to vote according to what they (the local barons) thought best. Could be economic pressure, could be fear of outright murder. That is, when ballots were open, the public will was far less driven by crowd sentiments. The progressives forced ballots to be secret so the masses could not be influenced on an individual basis, could not be shamed for voting wrong, and could instead be manipulated by what amounts to mass marketing and act on their personal whims. They gave people freedom to have their own opinions, without fear of consequences for those opinions.

        Dogs, horses, or cows, are a lot stupider than humans, but they don’t occupy the same niches as humans, so their utilization can ‘fit in’; does not incur necessary rivalry by its own existence.

        So therefore, they can potentially be worked with. And, thanks to their good-behaving natures, they can be actually worked with.

        Niggers are smarter than dogs, or horses, or cows, but they occupy a similar niche as humans, creating ineluctable rivalrous situations. And, thanks to their misbehaving natures, can hardly even work with each other, let alone allied peoples.

        When two organisms that occupy the same niche find themselves in geographic superposition, the only stable equilibrium is one supplanting out the other.

          Most wild animals can’t be worked with very well. You need to domesticate them. I agree that sometimes you can’t, or don’t want to bother to, even with cows. That is not the same as the nonsense you are saying.

          “When two organisms that occupy the same niche find themselves in geographic superposition, the only stable equilibrium is one supplanting out the other.”

          • Pseudo-chrysostom says:

            I think you’re reading things that have not been said.

            Naturally, wild animals can’t be worked with very well, thanks to their misbehaving natures; the obvious implication.

            The more occulted point here is that it’s *not* simply cognitive horsepower that renders civilizational value (a sort of reflexive reductionism typical of ultimately misleading cognitive malpractice), the *steering* can matter as much or even more so. Topical example; a dog is a lot dumber than a khazar mutt, but i would consider my dog to generally be more valuable than a khazar, because the khazar’s steering makes it a rather negative spanner in the works in a way that a dog doesn’t.

            Compared to other forms of wildlife, domesticated animals are by far the most reproductively successful animals on earth, by a exponentially greater degree. It’s not just us who benefits from having nice animals around after all. That is to say, it’s not just a superior party that benefits from assorted relationships; each party in the whole edifice does.

            Assuming of course that there is in fact possibility of getting along and assorting by niches.

            The use of different species is the most obvious and dramatic illustration of the dynamic, in order to illustrate the dynamic, but the analogy extends to society function in general as well; the more or less intense, more or less related the subjects in question are.

            On the macro scale, hominids are a ‘society forming’ organism; that is their ‘extended phenotype’ if you will, like dams are a beaver’s extended phenotype. Their ecological niche in the broadest terms, essentially. The less related a set of hominids are, the more divergent their expressions of ‘societal formation’ will be. Conflict, confusion, and contraction are the necessary result.

            If you are a man presently in an area where the majority of men are of different sort, more greatly different sort than you; then you are by definition in contested territory.

            You bring a certain people to a certain space, and they will start making a ‘society’ more configured towards those people. Put Scotsmen in Madagascar and they will make Scotland there. Put Japanese in Finland and they will make Japan there. Bring multiple peoples to a space, then, of course, synergy becomes impossible, and in fact the worst traits of all become intensified, without the natural accretion of social technology (*Tradition*) that would normally (naturally) ‘patch’ such certain tendencies (until or unless one becomes supreme once again).

              “You bring a certain people to a certain space, and they will start making a ‘society’ more configured towards those people.”

              Only if you let them. Besides, I’ve been around my own kind enough to know it is as important to control them as it is to control anyone else. Races are created by this control as it shapes the genetic pool. States, multi-ethnic empires, create nations, not the other way around.

    “I started thinking more and more about the conceptual problems of capitalism because obviously the issue of debt is a massive problem, and I’ve demonstrated this, I’ve dealt with this before. You know, the biggest single problem with debt is that it completely warps the supply-demand curves, and this is without even getting into Steve Keen’s mathematical demonstration that there is no such thing as a collective supply-demand curve, that you cannot create a supply-demand curve by adding multiple supply-demand curves together so we’re still working within the concept of conventional economics, we’re still in the world of Adam Smith here. But once you add debt into the equation, then what you start seeing is people whose demand is lower than someone else’s suddenly have the ability to outbid those who have a higher level of demand and a greater ability to pay, and so this turns into a absolute warp of the demand process that completely eliminates the efficiencies of capitalism.”

    • Andre says:

      “We’re not talking about crony capitalism here. We’re not talking about the fact that there are favored parties and disfavored parties and that sort thing. We’re simply talking about the fact that you have the ability to spend resources you don’t have to outbid people who have more resources than you today is intrinsically introducing a level of inefficiency and a level of market misinformation that did not exist before.”

      So if a father hands his son $5 to buy lunch, that destroys the organizational power of money and dooms capitalism itself? Because that is all debt is. Handing someone who doesn’t have money, which is just organized social status, money, which again is just organized social status. It’s not really that different from all other forms of money exchange. With debt you expect that status back, the person becomes “bonded” to you. The end of debtor’s prisons (for everything except child support and alimony) limited the degree of bondage that can be contractually entered into but that is really all there is to it, the distortions of state intervention through fiat currencies having really nothing to do with capitalism. Vox says too many nonsensical things as far as I’m concerned.

      “Rational capitalism is based on the idea that all exchanges are to the benefit of the person exchanging, but we know that’s not true, we know that’s false.”

      Sure, but how else do you want to organize things if not on the basis of voluntary exchange? Capitalism already has a non-voluntary framework in the acceptance of property rights (the other person would usually rather not consent to you owning what they want to own). What else do you need/propose?

    • Alrenous says:

      Vox isn’t a Jew and probably shouldn’t act like one. None of that is relevant.

      A lot of people, perhaps most people, cannot safely handle debt. Moreover, these are exactly the kinds of people who won’t choose to responsibly refrain from debt.

      Instead they’re essentially enslaved. They accumulate debt until all of their spare revenue is captured by some Lord. Unlike traditional slavery they will actively seek higher pay, then accumulate more debt and thus raise their Lord’s revenue.

      However, this doesn’t mean nobody can handle debt. In shocking turn of events, there are other possibilities beside ‘mandatory’ and ‘forbidden.’ There’s a space between ‘everyone can get a loan’ and ‘nobody can get a loan.’

      Responsible loaners – one that don’t go out of business – in fact don’t loan to those without an ability to pay.

      Presently, many irresponsible loaners are underwritten by the government. This certainly buggers the price system, by causing localized inflation. E.g. student loans cause tuition to inflate. Naturally universities can spend the dollars before the market as a whole sees the inflation. There’s a dude’s name on this that I keep forgetting, I call it the inflation gradient instead.

      If irresponsible lending wasn’t being underwritten by the printing press, there would be little need for any specific law about who gets to take on debt. But that would be racist.

      Steve Keen is in the business of demonstrating that the ills of government policy is the free market’s fault. That’s what ‘Keynesianism’ means. But it’s neo-Keynesianism because the old style has been too badly abused by empirical results.

      • Andre says:

        “If irresponsible lending wasn’t being underwritten by the printing press,”

        Irresponsible lending is not underwritten by the printing press, it is underwritten by ability of the state to exercise power, and as such it isn’t so much irresponsible as it is a deliberate policy. If debt, tax debt in particular, did not have to be paid in dollars, the printing press would be useless.

      This is actually the most radical thing he’s allowed himself to think to date, and he’s not wrong.

      Rothbardians would respond by saying that some projects are so large, it’s just not practical to create the capital stock up front – the capital would inevitably be allocated to some other pretty good use before sufficiency were attained, therefore having debt, especially from anonymous lenders through the proxy of a bank, enables large-scale capital projects.
      The rebuttal to THAT is that there’s nothing to stop the state engaging in public-private initiatives if needs be, but it takes Vox so far from Rothbard that he’s effectively a fascist.

          I agree with him entirely. Whether it’s a central bank interfering with the price of time, or whether it’s a consensus culture that of course one should leverage one’s assets, the result is the same: things that belong in the future are dragged into the present.

          The impact of this is widespread. Austrians tend to talk mostly about malinvestment and the tendency for bad entrepreneurs to mis-judge the potential growth of consumer spending in the future, but there’s much more to it than that.
          Shifting future resources to present existing users of capital has a depressing effect on innovation too, and perhaps even worse than that it pre-distorts assessments of future capacity before the future’s even arrived: the actual future that arrives is in effect living in the PAST!

The fact he isn’t synched up to the church, even him being perceived as a heretic by it, does not mean he isn’t synched up to the popular perception of holiness, and seen by his supporters as a purer expression of their beliefs. It does not seem to me that he was elected because he IS a heretic but because the church has lost its halo and is now being seen by way too many people as a mix between delusional heretics, outright evil does, and corrupt opportunists. Have you heard Alex Jones speak for example? Progressivism is as vulnerable to splits as christianity and islam. I have wondered if one of the reasons for Trump could be that, by marginalizing men from universities, they fell out of synch with “the current year”. The church has overeached and is freaking out.

              He has mocked #Metoo and Melania in one of the only comments she has ever made about politics has also disparaged Metoo (something that I imagine coming from a non-progressive country she finds very hard to understand).

                First, the way he raised his daughter suggests to me that he is very much a feminist. He is just not a 2018 feminist. I very much doubt he would ever try to get rid of the 19th amendment, and here is the thing, the only thing keeping the 19th amendment from being overturned is the overwhelming support of men for it, their religious faith in it as holy. I mean women can vote all they want, it’s the fact men accept the results of those elections that gives their vote power, not the vote itself. Men in the west today cannot even take a stand against the killing of babies… of a woman’s sacred right to butcher his own son, without having to ask his permission, or even let him know she is doing it. Everytime I hear about how bad the muslims are supposed to be because some isis fighter forced a mother to cook and eat her own son, I am reminded of abortion, divorce, rape and domestic violence laws and customs in the west. ISIS is by far more civilized than America and Trump’s war against them is evil, and could only be justified if he was actually trying to clean up his own house, Yet Hilary is still free and antifa feels safe to terrorize his supporters. I’ve tried to suggest to bolsonaro supporters that women’s suffrage had to be abolished, that subsidies for single moms had to end, and the overwhelming response from them was shock and outright disgust for such ideas. They would burn me at the stake faster than they would outright communists. I believe its the same for the bulk of Trump’s supporters. These people are my enemies.

                  The single most common belief on the redpill right, the thing almost everyone to the right of Ben Shapiro and National Review agrees on is that the 19th amendment was a terrible mistake.

                  Male Republicans by and large at least privately (I’m not talking about your centrist cucks) have turned hard against the 19th amendment.

                  So what are they waiting for? Do male republicans not control the police and military? I know there is a growing subculture of men who want to abolish the 19th amendment. I know this subculture supports Trump because they hope he is secretly their guy, and if not, at least he isn’t “those other guys”. Something similar exists in Brazil. But I would have to be blind to deny the fact that the bulk of their support, even among males, comes from people with quite normie beliefs that would turn on them if they didn’t constantly grovel.

                  Trump has almost full control of the marine corps.

                  The army’s alliegance is divided. Trump has the non coms who are the most essential people but the officer corps was pozzed in the previous decades. Also there are a lot of liberal millenials in the enlisted ranks now.

                  The Navy’s allegiance is also divided but because Trump has full control of the marine corps he basically has the Navy except for the subs as subs don’t have marines on them.

                  Progs control the air force.

How many men would actually fight to keep him in power, as opposed to overthrow him? Would those who today support him, continue to support him? Why doesn’t he? I am not in a position to judge tactics, perhaps he is working quietly to maneuver himself into a stronger position, keeping his enemies on the left distracted with trivial battles. But the very fact that he has to maneuver quietly indicates the level of resistance among combat capable men to such ideas is very high. And I don’t think he really has this master plan.

                  The interesting bit about this is how little the Poz has been enforced on the air force. They desperately want a competent airforce and have limited the spread of women in the air force because of it. I think they expect to have to use nukes in the advent of a civil war, so they’re slow rolling the Poz to try and keep it useful.

They are purists, breaking with the church because they believe they are the true believers. Bolsonaro for example talked about increasing welfare payments to single moms, and doing so by fighting against fraud. That is a purist opinion, as is the relentless complaints by normie brazilians against “corruption”, or the chant to “drain the swamp” in America, because obviously that is the reason the system is failing, not some inherit flaw in it but lack of purity.

                And by gay I mean no one needs to work because it’s paradise where no one has to work. So the work to be done is entirely about ranking youself against others, not by strength, either to work or to fight, but by virtue signaling.

                Entropy was discovered around the same time as Maxwell’s Laws. Neither were good enough. 50 years later people finally began to take entropy seriously and the fact that Maxwell’s Laws say everyone always sees electromagnetic waves as going at 1/sqrt(εμ).

      Stealth is relevant, it just doesn’t save the concept of flying up high and relatively slow. You can’t do that, stealth or no stealth. If you want to go high you have to go really high with sustained speeds of Mach 2+ and use extremely long range missiles. Failing that, go extremely low and slow, with low-cost replaceable planes. The current middle ground of extremely expensive, relatively slow high flyers is doomed and unrescueable.

              Thus a nation state is people with a leadership that identifies with them, and they identify with their leader.

              Nationalism was a leftist idea, used to overthrow Kings, in favor of priestly leadership. And, each being lefter than the next, they proceeded to institute matriarchy.

              Which does not mean that nation state is not a good idea, just that good ideas tend to be captured by the priesthood and tortured into something subtly different.

                “Thus a nation state is people with a leadership that identifies with them, and they identify with their leader.”

                That is communism. If one identifies with the other, and the other with the one, then who is sovereign? The lines are blurred. Obviously a king has a relationship with his subjects, just like a husband has a relationship with his wife, and one would hope there is minimal bickering and conflict between the two, and that the wife isn’t completely incapable of acting without the husband. But that is not the heart of the concept. The idea has not been tortured into something different, it has simply been taken more and more seriously, until it got transcended through the dream of international socialism, which is just the purest expression of the idea. The state became the nation, the nation became humankind, humankind became mother earth.

                  It was. Westphalian nationalism was the shattering of the civil and religious union of Christendom, which was (among other, greater things) the finest social technology in European history. The religious wars involved nobles mobilizing peasants against clergy (high, low, middle) as well as against their emperor. They subjugated religion into the sphere of merely natural interests, of temporal power. That subjugation is one of the core doctrines at this blog, and the only one I dispute. The supernatural is not a Platonic means to an end, but real, and will judge all men when they die, and gives authority to men to that end.

                  Frederick Algernon, as I see it, the fundamental difference between left and right, the core psychological reality behind those terms, is the difference between the masculine and the feminine drive. The masculine drive is for empire. The feminine drive is for surrender. Empire is individualistic by nature as power radiates from the individual. Surrender is collectivist by nature as power envelops the individual. The idea of nation-states is a surrender of sovereignty. Not just a loss due to practical reasons, not a civil cease-fire, but a psychological surrender. It is no different than deciding you won’t farm land because furry animals currently occupy it. It is a retreat from the natural world. If the furry animals are not your friends and allies, you might not actually want or feel it is worth the bother to barbecue them all, but you don’t say “well, it’s their land”. Anyone not part of your state is either an enemy or a subject, and must eventually be either subjugated, or exterminated. The eventually may take a very, very long time, but that understanding needs to stay alive in your mind.

                  Westphalian nationalism is leftist and everything else that we have seen since is even further left.

The reformation was the germ of all subsequent evil in the west – radical protestantism is only the more radical version of what was already radical.

                  Priests are supreme in priestly things and kings are supreme in earthly things. Ultimately, supernature is above nature, so the earthly activity of kings is ordered to the priests’ heavenly concerns, not the other way around. Making kings ultimately superior to priests when their spheres overlap is an inversion of order, is putting what is base above that which is noble, and that is leftist.

                  You are literally arguing for priestly rule and universalism both which go against reaction 101.

                  The king needs to be NOT a priest, but he also needs to embody God’s power on earth and since the priests are also on earth needs to be able to overrule the priests. Universal empires quickly spiral into catastrophic failure.

                  Priestly things are those which concern man’s supernatural end, his relation to God. Earthly things are those which concern man’s natural end, virtuous, good living.

                  “Reformation was an inevitable consequences of Gregory VII the great heretic claiming to speak for God”

                  The French Revolution was an inevitable consequence of kings and nobles claiming to have authority from God.

                  Investiture is clearly a priestly matter.

Charlemagne was not a leftist – investiture is an error very much within the pale, and Christmas 800 was as fine an expression of integralist Christendom as you may find. Charles Martel I don’t know what you’re referring to.

                  “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation”

                  Distinction is not division. When two brothers work together, the house is undivided. Likewise the supernatural end of man is not opposed to his natural end, but it is distinct, and higher. God is infinitely above man, and does not suffer union with Him to be reduced to mere natural virtue, although it does include natural virtue.

                  Andre:

                  You make an interesting observation in terms of Left vs. Right being gendered modalities (Female vs. Male) and I would tend to agree on that interpretation in principle. The metaphor (and it is a metaphor) breaks down given that states (of nations, of regions, of orgs, etc.) can and in some sense must exist on a spectrum (given their piecemeal composition), whereas humans are either male or female or genetic mistakes (no in between state, no spectrum). The metaphor is very useful for snapshot analyses (USA was male in 1890 but female in 1912, or some such) in a kind of Uncertainty Principle for political alchemy. It comports well with Aidan Maclear’s Father Gov’t/Mother Gov’t piece (highly recommend).

                  You may have a point about settling for anything less than empire as being, in some sense, a surrender. If I want to bang my wife in all three holes but only manage to take two, I am in some sense surrendering. But what has defeated me? Her cries for mercy from my mighty, imperial phallus (surrender to an external)? My flagging stamina from hatefucking my fist instead of doing my homework (surrender to an internal)? Could it be my neverending list of chores and projects (surrendering to the inexorable passage of time vs. my agenda)?

                  Your analysis represents what Thomas Sowell identifies as an “unconstrained” interpretation of expectations. You see failure where there isn’t perfect success. You see compromise as submission, regardless of reasoning or reality. You disregard the constrained, or conservative, interpretation that demands we never let the Perfect be the enemy of the Good. Viewing the world in this way, an infinitely opposed binary potential, is an unconstrained view, no different than the eternal holiness spiral of the Left which views the struggle for equality as a choice between Perfect or Not.

                  Your view of Westphalian Nation Statehood as leftism is Leftism.

                  Calling it Westphalian nationalism is not exactly true. It was never about nationalism, it was about state sovereignty. The Thirty Year’s War had destroyed continental Europe and so the Peace of Westphalia created a new system where the states of Europe pledged non-interference in each other’s religious affairs, and generally promised to keep the peace more often, to avoid such devastation.

                  Not disagreeing with your main point though, it did work for the most part. Up until probably WW1, which then destroyed the Westphalian System.

                  If the church wanting to appoint its own bishops (investiture) is heresy, then isn’t the Orthodox Church just as heretical as the Catholic? Its not like Putin is appointing Russian Orthodox Bishops.

                  But he could appoint his own Bishops, and probably would if they gave him trouble.

                  If, like Charles the Second, he found himself with a church full of enemies and heretics, would undoubtedly purge the whole lot from top to bottom as Charles the Second did, and would have right authority to do so.

                • The Cominator says:

                  The Orthodox Church would not oppose Putin doing it but he sees no need. Opposing Putin appointing the bishops that would make them heretics.

                • Mike says:

                  I suspect that is true, but I don’t think that this is as traditional of an arrangement for the Orthodox Church as you might think. Yes, in the Byzantine Empire the Emperor was known to weigh in on or appoint many bishops. But in Russia, prior to the reign of Peter I, I don’t think many were. It wasn’t until Peter created the Holy Synod in the 1700s that every single bishop, including the patriarch, was appointed by the Tsar, which continued all the way up until the October Revolution.

                  What I’m getting at here is that total control over the priests by the warriors probably is not going to happen all the time and might not even be the best arrangement all the time. The Orthodox Church was pretty pissed off when the Tsar basically subjugated them, and even today they refer to that period somewhat disparagingly because of how many monasteries got closed down or shrank due to all the political turmoil. A more hands off approach, one that doesn’t intervene unless there is an issue that matters deeply to the sovereign, would probably do better. But perhaps the tough approach is needed.

                • peppermint says:

                  Is the theory here that Christendom under the Pope could only be supplanted with Progressivism under Harvard and can only be supplanted by a new Christendom?

                  Sure.

                  God made man and said he was good. Satan isn’t king of this world, Jesus is. Sin means wilfully choosing evil over good, so it is logically possible to avoid sin on your own, however, it’s hard, so the Holy Ghost offers mercy and encoragement.

                  Communion with God is offered to all men. Priests have the special power to absolve sin, but no special power to avoid temptation.

                  Rulership, especially informal rulership, offers great temptation, and the devil especially seeks to corrupt the Church.

                  “Donatism then, Donatism now.”

                  The Donatists spurned all authority, bishop and emperor alike. Not unusual for any heresy. They spurned it because of their heresy, not the other way round. Or even if that weren’t true, it wouldn’t matter. Doctrine is not a vain sequence of syllables, a password that the state uses to enforce order. It’s real propositions that are true or false. Donatism is one of the false ones.

                  Leftism is leveling and the greatest leveling is the one accomplished at Westphalia, the (imagined) subjugation of heaven by earth. And that’s a declaration of war, not peace, unending war akin to the war on inequality, because it can never succeed. The peace of the Albigensian crusade was true peace.

                  Papal supremacy was heresy for a thousand years, and was the beginning of female emancipation and female consent to marriage, even for immoral women.

                  And it was this heresy that split Roman Catholicism from Orthodoxy. Orthodoxy is the original Christian faith.

                  The King should not meddle in the proper business of religion, but he gets to decide what is the proper business of religion. Moses appointed Aaron. Solomon appointed Zadok, and Zadok chrismated Solomon.

                  And, most importantly, in our culture, our history, the civilization that gave us science, technology, industrialization, and empire, the King appointed the Archbishop. Charles the Second purged the whole Church from top to bottom with an iron hand. Everyone in a priestly occupation was required to reapply for his old job, and he did not always get it.

                • Niiiidriveevof says:

                  In the first millennium, bishops could oversee other bishops, and the Pope of Rome was the first among bishops, with jurisdiction over the rest. The emperor had a role of de facto authority, especially in calling councils, but the council’s decrees would not be accepted as binding without the assent of the Pope. Theodosius the Great was excommunicated by St. Ambrose until he did public penance – Ambrose was only the bishop of Milan. Papal supremacy was not heretical.

                  Granted that afaict the church did too little against female emancipation, but who didn’t? What more did Anglicanism do?

                  The Church was created by God, with its heads given spiritual authority by God to govern and teach spiritual things. This was added around what was natural, the kingship, containing it and elevating it. Both king and bishop are within it, but the bishops have the teaching authority. Necessarily the bishops must decide what is the proper business of religion, but if they decide very wrongly, they undermine their own authority.

                  Science and empire are great, industrialization is a mixed blessing – by tending to reduce all value to exchange value, you damage martial virtue, and a man’s connection to the land and to his ancestors. But the spiritual unity of Christendom is above all price. It really does matter whether the religion is true or false.

                • jim says:

                  The Church is substantially responsible for female emancipation, in demanding female consent to marriage even in the case of badly behaved women, and failing to set the manly example of patriarchal family commanded by Saint Paul in his prescription of the requirements for a Bishop. 1 Timothy 3:4 “A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;”

                  For a thousand years the Church kept demanding female consent and not getting it, ever since the Roman Catholic Church adopted the Donatist heresy, it also adopted a heretical position on female consent, thus for a thousand years the Church was not failing to resist female emancipation, but aggressively promoting it against a society that successfully resisted Church promoted feminism and Church promoted destruction of marriage for eight hundred years.

                  > But the spiritual unity of Christendom is above all price. It really does matter whether the religion is true or false.

                  If Bishops have supremacy over Kings, they have political authority. Whereupon one society will use religion to dominate another society. Holy war ensues, as for example Syria and the thirty years war.

                  These wars reflected the fact that the political domain of papal power was no longer the same as the political domain of the holy roman empire.

                  Orthodoxy, having humbler pretensions in earthly matters than the heresy of Pope Gregory, can be one religion in a world of several political hegemonies. Roman Catholicism could not.

                  The Peace of Westphalia was fundamentally conservative and reactionary, in that it made warriors supreme over priests, and in that it reversed the Donatist heresy of Pope Gregory, reversed the outcome of the investiture controversy, and restored this vital aspect of Christian Orthodoxy.

                  If it matters whether a religion is true or not, what happens when the King complains that the priests are untrue, as King Charles the Second complained?

                  And if it matters whether a religion is true or false, surely a religion that promotes Donatism and female emancipation is false.

                  Female emancipation is heresy against Gnon. For promoting this heresy, the Church today needs to be purged from top to bottom by the Sovereign.

                  Observed holy wars (thirty years war, Syrian War, unending Afghan war) seem suggestive of priests in charge, rather than warriors in charge. The peace of Westphalia was successful, and was a result of Kings taking charge of priests.

                  1) As you said Ambrose was clearly the most powerful bishop and he was bishop not of ROME but of MILAN. The bishop of Rome was not that important compared to others until Gregory.

                  2) Theodosius was a weakling and by letting barbarians into the empire wholesale (Marcian who deserved the title the great reversed this and at least saved the East) is responsible for the fall of the Empire in the West.

                  3) Its nonsense that before Gregory that ANY ONE bishop outranked a council. A council with the Emperor acting as referee was the highest authority of the Church.

                  Industrial gulag system was created by the communist party as a whole before him and definitely in full operation when Yezhov was in charge of the NKVD.

                • jewish pedophile says:

                  Wikipedia:

                  “Beria administered the vast expansion of the Gulag labor camps and was primarily responsible for overseeing the secret detention facilities for scientists and engineers known as sharashkas.”

                  History Channel:

                  “He was the driving force behind the expansion of the vast network of more than 500 forced labour camps known as the infamous “Gulags”. It is said they once contained as many as five million prisoners. In the words of historian and former prisoner Anton Antonov-Ovseyenko, “The Gulags existed before Beria, but he was the one who built them on a mass scale. He industrialised the Gulag system. Human life had no value for him.””

                • The Cominator says:

                  Jim will I think agree with me this is fake history.

                  Beria only became head of the NKVD after the Great Purge (which was also when Stalin really became dictator). Things got better after that not worse.

                • jewish pedophile says:

                  Want to compare numbers? Let’s do that.

                  Yezhov was head of NKVD from 1936 to 1938. Beria from 1938 to 1953

                  Yezhov:

                  “In 1937 and 1938 alone, at least 1.3 million were arrested and 681,692 were shot for ‘crimes against the state’. The Gulag population swelled by 685,201 under Yezhov, nearly tripling in size in just two years, with at least 140,000 of these prisoners (and likely many more) dying of malnutrition, exhaustion and the elements in the camps (or during transport to them).[16]”

                  Overall:

                  “The tentative historical consensus is that of the 18 million people who passed through the gulag system from 1930 to 1953, between 1.5 and 1.7 million died as a result of their incarceration.[26]”

                  So, 1.3 million under Yezhov need 16.7 million more to reach the total of 18 million people in the gulag from 1930 to 1953.

                  Presumably, the numbers swelled between 1938 and 1953 (Beria), rather than coming from the Yagoda years of (1934-1936) or prior.

                  Am I missing something?

                • jewish pedophile says:

                  Yes, I probably have missed something because the overall numbers for Yezhov aren’t stated clearly. But the point is, the vast majority of the 18 million gulag prisoners (1930-1953) were exiled there under Beria (1938-1953) and not in the years of 1930-1938.

                • The Cominator says:

                  There were certainly not 18 million people in the Gulags by 1953. To the extent the population of the Gulags increased under Beria (as compared to Yezhov and Yagoda) I would say the causes were

                  1) WWII and the occupation of satellite countries (and Stalin despite things getting better in Russia when he really became dictator always mercilessly hated and distrusted the Poles, I don’t know if Polish prisoners went to Russian or Polish gulags but neither would surprise me).

                  2) You were far far LESS likely to be shot after Beria took over as compared to the pre Beria years. And after WWII even under Stalin the Soviet Union went through a period where it actually basically didn’t shot people (the satellite governments in Eastern Europe did but not in Russia). If you keep arresting people but not killing them you tend to get more prisoners.

                • jewish pedophile says:

                  Come on, you’re not serious.

                  “On the eve of World War II, Soviet archives indicate a combined camp and colony population upwards of 1.6 million in 1939, according to V. P. Kozlov. Anne Applebaum and Steven Rosefielde estimate that 1.2 to 1.5 million people were in Gulag system’s prison camps and colonies when the war started.”

                  “Approximately 300,000 Polish prisoners of war were captured by the USSR during and after the “Polish Defensive War”.Almost all of the captured officers and a large number of ordinary soldiers were then murdered (see Katyn massacre) or sent to Gulags.”

                  “During the Great Patriotic War, Gulag populations declined sharply due to a steep rise in mortality in 1942–43. In the winter of 1941 a quarter of the Gulag’s population died of starvation. 516,841 prisoners died in prison camps in 1941–43, from a combination of their harsh working conditions and the famine caused by the German invasion. This period accounts for about half of all gulag deaths, according to Russian statistics.”

                  “After World War II the number of inmates in prison camps and colonies, again, rose sharply, reaching approximately 2.5 million people by the early 1950s (about 1.7 million of whom were in camps).”

                  “Yet the major reason for the post-war increase in the number of prisoners was the tightening of legislation on property offences in summer 1947 (at this time there was a famine in some parts of the Soviet Union, claiming about 1 million lives), which resulted in hundreds of thousands of convictions to lengthy prison terms, sometimes on the basis of cases of petty theft or embezzlement. At the beginning of 1953 the total number of prisoners in prison camps was more than 2.4 million of which more than 465,000 were political prisoners.”

                  This is Beria’s work, not Yezhov’s.

                  >If you keep arresting people but not killing them you tend to get more prisoners.

                  Well, yeah… that’s one way to put it. The other is, “Beria arrested many millions of people and was responsible for most of what happened with the gulags,” which is the point I’m making.

                  And the bigger point I’m making is that there’s not much “rightist” about Beria. He definitely behaved like a saintly, holy, and godly person (murdering random civilians both privately and as head of the NKVD) rather than as a greedy, sinful, and selfish person who’s only in it for the lolz like e.g. Goring.

                  Stalin improved things when he became dictator for real but he was still a communist and no saint. Beria hardly had freedom of action to release people en masse and Beria worked for Stalin. But after Stalin died he did start releasing people en masse.

                  If he had succeeded in taking power his plan was basically to go Deng Xiaoping and mostly abandon communism altogether.

      A stable, durable ceasefire is a peace treaty. Which as you said, you can’t have. Only two things can happen. The jews are driven into the sea, or the arabs are burried under the ground. Except the second option doesn’t seem very realistic, seeing as Israel is filled with degenerates who wouldn’t even dare propose such a thing, and would attack those that did, unlike the arabs, who attack those that don’t. So the israelis keep playing this game of trying to bribe arab leaders. Leave Israel while you can, it will be destroyed.

          The sacred three hundred was gay battalion in an overwhelmingly straight army – which mean that the regular platoons were kept straight by means gentler than shooting sodomites. Some of the Greek historians that mention this practice suggested that more vigorous means were appropriate.

          The sacred three hundred was not gay parades and integration of sodomites among regular troops.

    • Thales says:

      lol. 10/10. Would welcome again.

  20. Lots of good thought in the post and the comments so far, but maybe there is a bigger picture. A modern army has to be a synthetic tribe formed around religion / ideology, be that nationalism, zionism, old liberalism, communism, fascism, actual religions, etc. etc. Old liberalism – Wilsonian crusading for democracy – kinda worked, at least for America. But for a country that used to be based on nationalism (zionism) even old liberalism means there are two competing religions, undermining cohesion.

    Now as for new liberalism, with the gay stuff, there is the additional issue of it being incompatible with the military. For reasons rightly mentioned here. Also, because it ridicules masculinity. Not always, maybe the gay warriors of Thebes didn’t, but the modern version does. It takes further focus away from sex as reproduction – even though already straight people took a lot of focus away from that – so basically if you are not even sure there will be future generations you are not likely to want to sacrifice yourself for them.

    New liberalism can form synthetic tribes, out of all kinds of outcasts and losers, but absolutely does not work for the kind of men who can actually fight.

    It is not the gay pride carnival per se. There are countries that grudgingly allow them to appease Western elites but their national religion is nationalism, not liberalism. Basically just making a few liberal gestures that looks good in the media, so that the Eye of Soros looks elsewhere. They are going to be okay.

    • Thales says:

      Hmm…this deserves a lengthier/stronger argument. Not yet convincing.

      It is certainly the case the women’s suffrage has been a disaster and must be completely abolished come the Restoration. Any franchise among the freeholders must be restricted to genuine biological men over the age of 30. IOW, an actual patriarchy of men most likely to have children (literal skin in the game!) most likely to support policies that continue civilization.

        This is the no suffrage club. It solves the issue of extending the franchise.

      • Andre says:

        “Any franchise among the freeholders must be restricted to genuine biological men over the age of 30.”

        Assuming you keep the idea of “suffrage”, it makes more sense to say they should be the fathers (and custodians) of at least one (living) male, as determined by a paternity test, than to impose an age rule. So deadbeat fathers don’t get to vote. Men with only daughters don’t get to vote. And men with fully grown sons don’t get to vote.

        • The Cominator says:

          “Men with only daughters don’t get to vote. And men with fully grown sons don’t get to vote.”

          Why not men with fully grown sons? I understand the daughter thing but why not fathers of fully grown sons?

          • Andre says:

            I’ll list two simple reasons; I think it goes deeper but those are good enough to justify this. People degenerate with age, 30 tends to be the peak for males, they lose their capacity to think, and in particular to adapt. If the sons are fully grown, they can be the ones voting. Unless he fucked up his sons so bad they turned into total losers, in which case, we don’t want to hear his opinions on matters of state anyway. If you are still pumping out kids at age 50, awesome, we want your input. If not, it’s your sons who matter, if you did a good job with them you won’t have a problem with that, if you didn’t, well maybe try again and we’ll let you vote next time.

    • Andre says:

      “Its more that gay parades are a product of feminism and men won’t fight for a feminist society.”

      They clearly won’t fight for a non-feminist society either, as evidence by the fact they allowed feminism to take over. You get what I’m saying? Maybe you could make a case for letting women own property and all the other bullshit but how in God’s name did men allow women, and not even just the few that had property but ALL women, to vote? Just what was wrong with those men?

  23. When you lose a battle or miss out on killing the mammoth because two guys in your tribe who were fucking each other just broke up and were bickering, you decide to ostracize the homos and your adaptive fitness jumps way up.

    Most homos like and prefer little boys. When homos are tolerated in society, as in Classical Greece or Edo Japan, their culture revolves around pederasty.

    You can’t have a community if you’re constantly worried that your neighbor, who is supposed to be your friend and fellow citizen, is trying to fuck your ten year old son.

    Two types of homos. The first like to fuck little boys, and I don’t know where they come from. Mark Yuray convinced me that it was due to a viral infection, and while I can’t remember the specific proofs, it was a convincing argument. The second want to get fucked by big manly men, and are created when they are raped as little boys.

                  Matriarchies don’t work. Female politicians in democracies also tend to be especially bad (while female monarchs are not generally especially bad) Margaret Thatcher is probably the sole exception that I can think of.

                  My theory on why female monarchs “work” while female democratic politicians do not is that I have to imagine that a female autocrat in a society where every other woman is some man’s property is just so socially isolated from other women that they don’t fall into the idiotic conformist NPC thinking women normally fall into.

                  Women normally are at least greatly influenced by some kind of female peer group consensus on everything. But a female monarch in a normally patriarchal society doesn’t have any female peers.

                  The fact that the Monarch will always be a man.

                  Likewise the Deuteronomic passage:
                  17:20 Assumes that only male descendants are qualified to be King.

                  Which is why in dynastic disputes only the males belonging to a Kings House were to be slain. For no female is considered for the position.

                  Well argued!

      • Yes, but even the larder Scott Atran model tracks well with Afghanistan: a tribal nation can only be unified by religion / ideology forming a synthetic tribe. I suspect although cannot prove that in the absence of the Taliban – i.e. the “students” who had formal education in Islamic jurisprudence and theology – tribes in Afghanistan tended to develop forms of Folk Islam mixed with various pagan stuff, like how in Latin America there is Folk Catholicism mixed with various pagan stuff. I cannot prove it but it had to happen – Islam focuses on Classical Arab roughly the same way as Catholicism a few centuries ago focused on Latin, if you don’t have a big formally school elite, and nobody around really speaks that language much, you get a local religion turning some saint into a local deity or stuff like that.

        Now that may even be a good thing, I don’t know, but the issue is that usually that mixture is always very local, every region, village, tribe developing their slightly different version, effectively a local identity religion which obviously cannot be used to unify a country, it lacks unity.

    David and Jonathan expressed their love for each other, exchanging garments.

    When Ammon’s king humiliated David’s ambassadors:

    > Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away. 5When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.

    David’s response was the genocide of all the cities of Ammon:

    > he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance. 31And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon.

    The insult merely involved semi-nakedness and shaming, not outright sodomy, yet it was still punished with absolute genocidal fury. This is the appropriate response to Sodomites everywhere, who are always as disrespectful as Canaan, as predatory as the men of Sodom, and as God-hating as Jezebel.

    If good King David, whom Jehovah loved, were incarnated today on Earth instead of witnessing above from Heaven, he would have responded to Obama’s faggot globocop routine by genociding all the men of every city in the USA, because they let themselves be ruled by such a bastard of Belial.
