Now we are in trouble

It is not over till the fat lady sings on January 20th, but things do not look good.

We inevitably lost because our people did not have legitimate authority to use lethal force, and the other side did.

In order to grant our people legitimate authority to use lethal force, Trump needs to proclaim the insurrection act and call out the militia. I was hoping that yesterday would provide a good occasion for that, though it needed to be done earlier. General Flynn should have had an appointment to organize the unorganized militia several weeks ago.

The battle was lost for lack of a leader with plausibly legitimate authority.

Well, Trump did not, and it looks like from here on, such a proclamation becomes more and more difficult and less and less likely.

I was very much hoping and praying that civil war would start early, because in a left singularity, the earlier you get the inevitable civil war, the more likely the right is to win.

However I have long predicted civil war or catastrophic international war, or genocide, around 2026 or so. That prediction still looks on target.

Leftism will inevitably implode, it always does. Trees do not grow to the sky, but they grow till they fall over. And the further leftism goes before it self destructs, the greater the collateral damage.

We are likely in for quite a lot of collateral damage before the light dawns.

If, as is likely, everything goes to hell in a handbasket, I will focus on building a counter economy and counter society on the blockchain. To preserve the economy against pillage, and the truth against lies, we will need to deploy cryptographic methods.

Bitcoin is deeply flawed. Posts on this topic coming when the fat lady sings.

Russia or Asia?

Mike says:

Nowhere, we aren’t fucking white émigres. We’re regular Americans, and you’ll either lie low and try to build/survive, or go out at the mouths of the firing squad like countless Spanish nationalists did, shouting, “Arriba España!”

A very real question my family is preparing for.

Good Article from Aidan for preparations

Thanks.

Publius says:

gone

we. are. fucked.

c4ssidy says:

Pump out kids and spread them over the world. you can buy a home in desolate Russian countryside for 2k. Gather wild mushrooms and pickle vegetables. Even better if you can do it with something close to a western wage. I’ll be testing this myself in the next few weeks. The higher breeds of humanity only need to hold out until mars

Maybe we’d have a dark age if diversity does hit spaceX and their rockets blow up, but Musk seems unstoppable, and the target date of 2026 is looking absurdly close

Encelad says:

Biden has called the people who marched in the Capitol “domestic terrorists”. The irony would be if Biden will, at some point in the future, use the insurrection act to allow antifa to kill rightists.
The one who strikes first strikes twice… And our occasion was lost.

European Mutt says:

Chinese leftism looks like it can grow for a very long time…

jim says:

Chinese leftism died.

Those ruling in the name of its corpse are returning to bad ideas from their past, but there is no longer any permitted holiness spiral to drive leftism to ever greater heights of madness.

This does not guarantee that the Chinese state religion will be sane (ruling in the name of Mao is a big inherent problem). But it does guarantee it will not return to total madness.

The Cominator says:

If Xi wants to return to Maoism he is an insane idiot…

jim says:

Xi does not want to return to Maoism. He wants to dress the highly capitalist Chinese state in more fragments of Maoism.

Unfortunately, these fragments are likely to damage Chinese businessmen.

Officially, the Chinese economic order is socialism with Chinese characteristics. This is risible, and somewhat embarrassing.

He is trying to make it more true. Which is a very bad idea, but there a much worse ideas.

European Mutt says:

He can wreck the rest of the world with Maoist tendencies and national socialist economics though. Yes there will probably be no holiness spiral but it could result in evenly distributed suck. Chinese Dark age.

Russia and/or blockchain may be the escape of course.

The Cominator says:

Russia can’t go too much against China with the insane American ruling class so hostile to it.

European Mutt says:

Not for the time being no. But the more America becomes irrelevant/weak (which is the Chinese goal) the more they will need to.

Russia is still behind on most tech though. They need to fix that asap.

polifugue says:

There are priests and there are warriors, yet without faith warriors cannot cohere, thus ceasing to be warriors.

Unlike us, our enemy can coordinate because of faith. Antifa may be disgusting and weak, yet remain on the field only because no one else can show up.

If Kamo can murder 60 people in a bank robbery yet the Tsar cannot execute him, his elite are apostates. If the Left can get away with treason yet Trump cannot fight, he and his supporters are going to die.

Warriors may appear to rule, yet without the chaplain they cannot form a battle line. The Hindus got it right. No matter the pomp of the king, brahmins always rule.

Signing off until in friendly territory.

stan says:

Do you guys see a new big party emerge? I can’t imagine former Trump voters voting for Republicucks now.

European Mutt says:

How are they gonna play this with Trump gone? They are already calling for purging all Republicans so supposedly it will be a one-party state out in the open at least on the federal level? Any third party that could threaten them would obviously be frauded away…

Oscar C. says:

The Capitol thing reminded me immediately of something similar the left tried to do here in Spain back in 2012, ‘Rodea el Congreso’ (“Surround The Parliament”). They never managed to get inside.

However the insurgent left-wing party Podemos coalesced soon thereafter, and gained representation in 2014.

So perhaps some political realignment happens. The US political system makes it way more difficult, alas.

jim says:

No political re-alignment is possible. Opponents will go to jail, as started with Sheriff Joe.

The judicial process is now political violence. Violence will escalate, as the elite turns on each other.

This will in due course result in a Napoleon or, if we are lucky, a Cromwell. If very lucky, a Sulla. If unlucky, a Stalin. But it may take an long and unpleasant time.

lambda x says:

When the last vestiges of the Old Republic are swept away, the Democratic Party can split. Doing it this way might allow each side to contain some access to actual power.

The Cominator says:

How is a new party going to win elections when the ruling party can create however many votes they need.

46½ says:

I enjoy this blog a lot and am happy it is back. I agree w virtue singularity and the possible fate of Trump and the rest of us. One think I cannot fathom is how on earth you can believe Trump will have the stones to pull the trigger on the insurrection act. He is NOT our man although the left will likely treat him as though he were. He is NOT brave or ‘a great man’ or anything like that. Yesterday proved my worst apprehensions about this. He does not understand the level of the danger. Brace to roll w the fall b/c this civilization is going under before it can possibly improve again.

BaboonTycoon says:

I wish I could agree with you on this, jim, but it is evident to me that we will have to suffer under this for much longer than a mere five years. The op that the establishment ran yesterday demonstrates to me that their leadership is not sufficiently stupid enough to declare war anytime in the foreseeable future. That will only happen in the off chance their cowardice gets the better of them. And on our side of things, the protests yesterday were unserious. Minimal violence that did not even escalate upon Babbit’s murder. Our elites deserved so much more, but there was not even half the anger there should have been.

Epstein's Suicide Note says:

This was Yarvin’s argument a few weeks ago and it looks like Yarvin was correct.

The left (establishment, Cathedral, whatever) may appear to be old and decrepit, may be bioleninist and selecting for the worst of the worst, may be experiencing countless local malfunctions and isolated failures, may indeed be a pale shadow of its former might. Yet the past two months have proven that it has the power, resources and will to steal an election nationwide and effectively suppress all public dissent, a feat which has never really been achieved before at that scale. And has the power to keep millions of people terrified and effectively locked in their homes. It’s evil to the core and deserves all the contempt we can muster and then some, but that kind of power demands respect.

It’s like an old car that looks like it was dragged out of the junkyard. The AC died years ago, the stereo only plays static, both mirrors and one taillight are broken, the passenger side is caved in, all the windows are smashed, the brakes are intermittent at best and there seem to be electrical shorts all over. But guess what: the engine still runs, and if you stand in front of that thing believing you’re going to stop or even slow it down, you’re going to be crushed.

I was a firm believer that civil war was coming in the next few years, but the events of the past two months have seriously weakened that belief. The current elites may be losing cohesion, but they still have a whole lot of it, possibly boosted by the tech oligopoly, and the Amerikaner side has none.

The Cominator says:

The Cathedral’s surge of brilliance occured because the Chinese did all the planning for them in 2020 I’m convinced of that. But it doesn’t matter for now we must go to ground or go to exile.

Mr.P says:

Question.

I re-watched the end of the live-stream of the Dec. 6 Trump rally in Washington, DC. Trump’s final words were (not a direct quote but close enough), “We’re now going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol and encourage the weak Republicans to ….”

Did Trump walk / lead rally participants down Pennsylvania Ave?

If so, when did he stop walking / leading participants?

Is there any video of Trump leaving the rally / arriving at the Capitol?

Thanks.

Red says:

If Trump had led people there would have been a video of it. However, the riot was already underway before Trump was done apparently by people who were not at his speech.

Pooch says:

It’s officially over. Trump is conceding.

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1347334804052844550?s=20

Now is the time to make preparations.

J says:

Truly disappointing. He called his supporters to DC, told them the election was stolen, got them riled, and now he’s calling them “heinous” and telling them they will pay. Just because they entered the People’s House. He didn’t even mention the unarmed mother of four the capitol police shot dead.

Just another worthless, cowardly cuckservative after all.

Pooch says:

Yep. Establishment threatened impeachment and he caved like a house of cards. He probably made a deal thinking maybe he won’t be prosecuted. Pathetic.

clovis says:

I can’t leave the country and don’t have money, so witness me bros. I knew I was headed for the gulag about a decade ago.

Karl says:

Why can’t you leave? Transportation is cheap and emigration still legal.

Come to Germany, ask for political asylum and tell them you are from Syria. Just make sure you don’t have any ID when you request asylum. Then you won’t be deported.

You won’t starve, almost everybody speaks English. At least for now, it beats a gulag.

alf says:

I guess now’s as good a time as any to pick a fight.

Where’s the Christian cavalry Jim? Never showed up did it. Everyone cucked, save a few brave souls swinging viking helmets in the capitol.

You proposed the medieval warrior/priest co-op: Trump as warrior, us as priests. Trump signaled for Christianity, so you pushed Christianity. But neither of them came through. I watched Stephen Colbert interviewing Biden a few weeks ago. Did you know they are both devout Catholics? Who’d a thunk!

Christianity is dead. As dead as the monthy python parrot. If you keep hiding behind a dead story you’ll be a brilliant fool.

Pooch says:

I saw a giant cross erected on the lawn of the capital. Christianity lives.

Theshadowedknight says:

Well, Alf, want to show us the hordes of based and redpilled atheists you have standing by?

Terraformer says:

That is not Alf’s point.

It’s pretty clear that Christianity in it’s traditional forms is completely dead and their adherents are LARPers. All that remains in the US are the Amish and the Mormons.

The Mormons have their own state, are not letting go of the family and traditional sex roles and are entrenched in the intelligence apparatus.

That’s your best bet.

Theshadowedknight says:

Alf’s point was retarded. He has no alternative. Criticizing the man with the plan when there is no real alternative is dumb, especially when we are about to run facefirst into leftist social control.

alf says:

Your christian churches ARE the leftist social control.

I have repeatedly asked for right wing Christian enclaves, and no one has ever showed me one. ‘They are all in hiding!’ Well that’s some powerful community you have there. Pretty sure there’s no need for your supposed secret right wing Christian community to even show itself, give it a few decades and you’ll have been entry’d too.

jim says:

> Your christian churches ARE the leftist social control.

No. Academia is the leftist social control. Anglicanism was still holding out in the early twentieth century. And I was recently married by a pastor who said all the right things on the duties of wife and husband. He is holding out.

alf says:

What can I say, except that I have never met these Christians, never seen them publicly, and whatever Christian stuff I do see publicly is always cucked. Except for that one Catholic guy, he seemed cool.

The truth is probably that your pastor, while a good guy, publicly says all the things his prog masters demand him to say, which you interpret as Straussian, but most interpret as… Well, as what he says.

Overall, this secret based Christian community sounds like ‘Trump’s about to do a coup’ level wishful thinking.

The Cominator says:

Before the cowardice on the 6th Trump doing a coup wasn’t implausible at all. Trump just is a coward apparently and no longer worthy of our allegiance.

The based and redpilled Christians shelter behind Russian nukes, or keep below the radar. This topic has been discused before.

alf says:

I don’t mind endulging in the idea of a Secret Based Christian Community. Im sure there’s good people out there. What I am railing against is the idea that they’ll be successful in turning the decline. They won’t. Too cucked, too entry’d. It’s like when your safe is cracked, using that same safe and expecting different results is dumb.

someDude says:

Come on, Alf! I agree that was a very ambitious prediction Jim made regarding a coup and more than one commentator told him that. In fact, if that prediction came true, I was ready to declare Jim a prophet.

You made the safe prediction that nothing would happen. Thats normalcy bias. A normalcy bias usually wins. That’s why “normalcy”. But you must still give Jim credit for making a really ambitious prediction with a low probability of coming true. After all so many of his less than 50% probability predictions came true. He’s got the track record of being right. I’m sure you can extend him that courtesy.

If you get 100% of your predictions right, then you are not being ambitious enough. For instance, I predict that the sun is gonna rise in the South east tomorrow up here in the northern hemisphere.

alf says:

Jim has been brilliant, prescient and visionary. A sole voice of reason in a sea of madness. But on this topic, which I find very important, he is wrong.

someDude says:

@Alf

I read your blog and see your concerns. And I don’t really have a convincing answer that satisfies me either. But in this field of uncertainty, Jim is the best shot we have. While his answer is not entirely satisfactory to me either, it is better than any solution I have seen from any one else anywhere. And we need to ride this wave till either Jim or someone else comes up with something better. Or maybe this is the best that can be done and we’re unable to see that. That is Jim’s point.

Now, is that single contradiction of Christ being one and Christ being three such a big problem for you? Of Christ being man and also being God and also being Son of God? I thought that contradiction is a nice device to allow us to ferret out traitors. And since the contradictions are limited in number, that’s another wonderful design feature.

Like Aquinas, I also thought that the whole idea of miracles contradicting the laws of physics is that it was a one time thing never to be repeated again or by anybody anywhere else which affirms the divinity and uniqueness of Christ. Who better to suspend the laws of physics than divinity which is the source of those laws in the first place? Seems pretty self-consistent to me even if it may not be true. Isn’t internal self-consistency good enough?

Did you predict Trump’s supporters storming the Capitol? I sure as hell did not. I though the right would completely cuck out. Normalcy bias again. But this time, it was Trump that cucked, not the base. The base did their thing. But I still cannot blame trump. You need a man with balls the size of manhattan to pull this off. It’s too brazen. Trump’s balls aren’t the size of Manhattan, merely the size of the Empire state building. Still big, but not big enough. I think he lost his nerve at the last minute.

Mike says:

He has absolutely no point. The “End of History” has cucked everyone and everything. Every world tradition is in the process (or at least was at one point, back in the 90s or 2000s) of being subsumed by Globohomo Americanism. Everyone. Near every male in the Western world, and many even in the non-Western world, are spineless fags. It makes no difference as to whether they were raised Christian, Buddhist, Shinto, or straight-up atheist. Islam is pretty much the only exception. Don’t give me this shit that Christianity is anymore dead than any of the others, when all the others are in just as terrible or worse shape.

Yeah, but it is Christianity we’ve been counting on because that is what is ours. Moldbug, 2013: “It strikes me as quite implausible that when our dark age ends and the kings return, if ever, it will be under any banner but the Cross.”

alf says:

Yes, Jim is also still following the Moldbug plan, for Moldbug said it is incredibly effective to organize around a lie. So Jim says the truth on everything, but the moment the life of Jesus comes around suddenly its like: no no, Jesus is three and jesus is one, and we don’t talk about his miracles. No problem here.

jim says:

None of which is falsifiable.

alf says:

Yea this is giant spaghetti monster tier arguing.

Jesus’s miracles can be falsified by anyone with basic understanding of physics. For you to claim otherwise is a dramatic and wholly uncharacteristic drop in quality standard.

yewotm8 says:

Leftism is significantly more falsifiable. I find it more likely that Jesus Christ literally died on the cross and rose from the dead than the differences in competence between certain groups being caused by the mystical, unseen force of “systemic oppression”. Has that stopped people from rallying around it and using it as compass and sword?

The entire point is that everybody smart knows it’s a lie, they just don’t care. They get a little itch to call out the lie, but they catch themselves, because to do so would be assholery for the sake of it. They start to find comfort in the lie. You always need such a lie, the problem is making sure it’s a good lie, that’s beneficial to those that believe it.

alf says:

you always need such a lie

I think this is the center of our disagreement. Why do we need a lie? Who says we need a lie? Moldbug? I’m sorry I have missed where we agreed on an atheist Jew’s take on Christianity as our moral authority.

Can you imagine Paul spreading the word of Christ like Jim? ‘Hey guys God is one and God is three, I know that doesn’t make sense but trust me guys it’s totally gonna work out.’ He’d be a laughing stock. And rightfully so.

When I talk about a leap of faith, I talk about it in the sense that Jesus said: trust in me, follow me. Not that we have to ‘agree on a lie’. That’s a leap of cynicism. If your general take on Christianity is that it is built on a contradiction, then in my eyes you are already talking from the frame of a non-believer, eg proving my point.

So I guess we need to once and for all address that contradiction, eg the trinity. I’ll need a couple of days for that.

jim says:

When Constantine had the bishops say “God is three and God is one”, he had them state the contradiction as directly and plainly as possible. It worked out fine, and every deviation from that led to catastrophe, starting with Egyptian Christianity.

The passion play celebrates and embraces the contradiction between the humanity and divinity of Christ more directly than mere words can express, and no one has a living Christianity except they have some equivalent of the passion play.

So for two millennia, we have not been ignoring the contradiction, but embracing it as vigorously as possible. And it worked.

alf says:

You are mistaking the emperor’s politics following Christ’s teachings with Christ’s teachings.

Personally, I am currently leaning more towards Arius’ interpretation of Christ the son than Constantine’s. Seems more coherent with what I am reading so far in the NT, although I haven’t gotten to John yet. Jesus presents himself repeatedly as the son of God, not as God himself.

But my point is that it doesn’t matter: Nicaea was Constantine putting an end to the in-fighting with military force. Why was there in-fighting? because Christ’s teachings had taken off, big league. If you have a big treasure to divide, whether you take the right half or left half, not so important. Constantine had a big treasure of Christian faith to divide. You do not. You are not in the position of Constantine.

jim says:

> You are not in the position of Constantine.

We are each of us in the position of Constantine.

Game theory and evolutionary game theory imply that you should judge other people, and cohere with other people, according to moral judgments. But they don’t give you yourself a reason for following those rules. They give you a reason for wanting to be with people who follow those rules. But you are not giving them a reason to be with you. Signaling game theory and evolutionary game theory is signaling that you want other people to follow those rules, but not signaling that you will follow those rules.

Game theory and evolutionary game theory are nature, but not nature’s God.

You cannot cooperate with people who believe in a morality that deviates grossly from that implied by Game theory and evolutionary game theory, people who believe in a God that makes arbitrary rules inconsistent with Nature – which is why the holiness spiral always results in the very holy murdering each other for insufficient holiness, but neither can you cooperate with people who don’t believe in any morality at all.

So, if you are an atheist who believes in Nature, but not Nature’s God, you don’t want to piss off people who believe in Nature’s God, but you should be considerably less worried about pissing off your fellow atheists.

And you also should be unworried about pissing off those who believe in a God contrary to Nature’s God (such as the progressive arc of history towards justice, or the Marxist History personified), a God that deviates grossly from nature. Marxists always murder their friends and allies, and the pharisaical Jews at the end of the second temple period wound up murdering a whole lot of pharisaical Jews, and burned the food stores while Jerusalem was under siege by the Romans.

I am fond of telling the story of how pharisaical morality led to the exile: The Jews were so uptight about avoiding contamination by blood, that in order to avoid walking on land contaminated by chicken blood, they got themselves covered in the blood of a Roman cop who was attempting to impartially enforce Roman order to the benefit of all, illustrating in blood Jesus’s rant about whited sepulchers and his lectures on the spirit of the law, rather than the letter of the law. And not long thereafter, they illustrated those lectures in oceans of blood.

The embrace of contradiction at the heart of Christianity, when done correctly is an embrace of the contradiction between mind and matter, and, more importantly for practical alliances and choosing friends, and enemies, an embrace of the contradiction between a very brutal nature, and the considerably more kindly ethic implied by Game Theory and Evolutionary Game theory.

We empirically observe that elites that don’t embrace both the humanity and divinity of Christ, erring in either direction, tend to fail at cooperation. And the same is true at the individual level.

To be trusted, have to signal trustworthiness. And it helps a great deal in signaling trustworthiness if you actually are trustworthy. But actually being trustworthy according to the measures of Game Theory and Evolutionary Game Theory involves personifying Nature. You may think that personification is merely a metaphor, but you have to commit emotionally to that metaphor as if it was more than a metaphor.

The contradiction at the heart of Christianity is also the contradiction between mind and matter, and, more importantly for practical alliance, for discerning friends and enemies, the contradiction between the morality implied by the pragmatism of game theory and pragmatism itself. For someone to act competently in the world, he has to embrace the second contradiction. For someone to be trustworthy, he has to embrace the third contradiction.

Genuine Christianity embraces all three contradictions as one. You cannot trust someone who elevates his morality above pragmatism, holiness spiraled morality, and you cannot trust someone whose morality is merely pragmatism. So who are you going to trust? You have to trust the man who believes in a contradiction. He is the trustworthy one.

alf says:

Ooooh it’s right at the beginning of John’s gospel: Christ was there since the beginning, and Christ was God. L o l.

Seems to me John was being an overly enthusiastic disciple. But yes, that lends credibity to the Nicaean creed. Funny.

So I guess that completes my trinity research quicker than I thought. Preliminary verdict: Jesus presented as the son of God, but John interpreted Jesus as the personification of God. Which is entirely understandable. So, god is one and god is three is a somewhat satisfactory way to settle the unclarity.

Glad we solved that. So in conclusion, the contradiction in the trinity is a consequence of the contradiction in the NT regarding who Jesus specifically was. It was impossible to get a perfect answer, so Constantine settled on a good enough answer and excommunicated those who disagreed.

eternal anglo says:

Jim, what is the contradiction between mind and matter? What do you mean by landing with your feet on the ground?

alf says:

Christianity was the religion to defeat, thus progressivism has been adapted to defeat it. Which is not to say your point about other religions being in bad shape isn’t valid.

We are on the verge if entering a new dark ages. Bad times ahead. We need a NEW plan, something that tells us something about the shit we are currently in and how we will get out of it. Christianity is hilariously obviously not that — still waiting for a single goddamn quote from Jesus on the situation. Anyone? Bueller?

I have seen Jim refer to hearing God’s voice here once. It was cringe. If that is what he thinks it means to listen to me, he is not listening.

Red says:

When are you going to build your own religion?

Oddly, we do have a new religion, it’s call Q-Anon. Too bad it’s retarded.

Red says:

When Trump and his family are murdered by the Democrats, the shamans of Q-Anon will make him their chief Martyr and God incarnate.

alf says:

Religion is just a word. It implies something ancient, something with a very long tradition. To say you are building a new religion, beyond it being a meme, is conceited.

I am already building something new. It is more like the beginnings of a new plan than anything else, and whether it’ll ever develop into anything I have no clue. But it is a fresh story, an alive one. Therefore, already have more faith in it than Christianity.

jim says:

The usual strategy in building new religions is not to build new religions, but to issue an update of a very old religion. It seems to work better.

Judaism needed an update, because legalism had abandoned the spirit and intent of the law for wickedness, which wickedness eventually brought the wrath of their neighbors upon them, and eventually the wrath of the Romans. Recall Jesus’ rant about whited sepulchers.

Christianity needs an update because it has turned cuck.

The dusty and unread books of Judaism and Christianity contain a whole lot of good social technology from before the collapse of Greco Roman civilization, and from before the collapse of Bronze age civilization. Not throwing that stuff away.

Theshadowedknight says:

Alright, galaxy brain, maybe not such a great idea to pick a fight in the war of ideas when you dont, you know, have a fucking idea yet. Once you get something, then you can talk, but until then keep your mouth shut and know your place.

jim says:

This is excessively impolite. Alf’s contributions are valuable and thoughtful.

I would like to debate him, and this abuse ends debate.

alf says:

I have always enjoyed tsk’s seriousness. I hope his Christian friends enjoy it as well, though I suspect they tell him to ‘chill it homey’, or at the very least think it.

I don’t mind updating Christianity. I’m all for it. But that requires having an honest conversation about what Christianity was and how we take it from there. What you’re doing here is not updating Christianity; you are instead advocating a return to Christianity. For you to update Christianity, have to establish some kind of moral superior narrative.

alf says:

No scratch that. I am engaging as if we are close to understanding one another, but we aren’t.

When Jesus ‘updated’ Judaism, in the minds of most Judaists, he broke with judaism. Naturally Jesus presented himself as a continuation, and for Christians he is a continuation, but for Jews, he is still the eternal traitor.

For us to update Christianity, we shall similarly have to piss off some Christians. Can’t be helped. When you say no, we can’t discuss the reality of Jesus’s miracles, to me you sound exactly like Trump saying no, we can’t discuss the reality of the republic.

jim says:

The Republic is false, and has has been spectacularly falsified. Why piss of some Christians about the unfalsifiable?

We are going to piss of enough of them by restoring Saint Paul’s rules on marriage and the priesthood.

It has long been known that you cannot have a Republic without a virtuous and cohesive elite. Lacking such an elite, chaos and violence looms, possibly genocide or attempted genocide.

The cure has long been known: Kings.

And, like Moldbug, I don’t see any way Kings can return except under the banner of the cross. Christian Kingship works because the peasants bow down to King and God, the King bows down to Lord Jesus Christ, and the peasants eat Lord Jesus Christ, who sacrificed himself to man, completing the circle.

alf says:

Christianity as a succesful cooperative strategy for the last 250 years has been spectacularly falsified. Jesus’ miracles have, since Newton, Faraday, Maxwel and Einstein, equally spectacularly been falsified.

You cannot sweep that under the rug. Perhaps if Trump declared himself dictator, you sweep it under the rug because no time. But we don’t have Trump the dictator. We do have time.

jim says:

Newton etc, do not and cannot falsify the Resurrection. Wholly man and wholly God, mortal and divine. Three and one. Born in Bethlehem and is from the beginning of the world. The contradiction has always been at the absolute center of Christianity, and is unchanged. The contradiction is the same as it ever was, and is a whole lot better basis for cohesion and cooperation than “all men are created equal”, or that a man in a dress is actually a woman, because unfalsifiable.

Christianity as a cooperative strategy has worked when the state religion was actually Christian. Socinians, Muslims, and Hindus have been and are conspicuously less successful in cooperating.

Nothing has changed that would make old type Christianity less successful, other than that under conditions of abundance of food, people are less inclined to keep control of women and less inclined to keep an eye on their children. By and large fat males are less inclined and less capable of keeping women under control than fit males, and fat women and the wives of fat men less inclined to look after their children. The problem is not science makes the world less favorable to old type Christianity, but the fridge and the microwave.

Theshadowedknight says:

It wasn’t excessively impolite. What was was him walking in the door and trying to start a fight without a better alternative.

Alright, Alf, let’s get serious, then. You don’t have followers. Your blog was a dead zone, you have no religion/ideology on offer, and no amount of shitting on Christians is going to fix that. Until you have an alternative to offer up, there isn’t a debate to be had. We already saw what happens with the, “Christianity is dumb let’s get rid of it and replace it with science stupid superstitious cultists lol what rubes,” approach. Rehashing that fight is like crying that, “Real atheism has never been tried!” If you don’t have an improvement, fuck off. As a priest, you’re a damned poor offering.

jim says:

That is the point. Alf has no replacement.

And yes, he tries to start a fight, and should not. But his point needs to be addressed, and you have just addressed it.

People have been making trouble over the contradiction at the heart of Christianity for two millennia, and whenever people who don’t like the contradiction get power in the state religion, things go to $#!&, most recently the Socinian takeover of the Church of England. Currently we have the “I love Jesus” crowd who are strangely unable to say the name of Christ.

Abandoning the contradiction has been tried before, many times, and has failed before, many times. The fall of christian Egypt was in large part a result of the “two natures” heresy.

The Cominator says:

The only alternative to Christianity that I could see is if a bunch of wealthy American right wingers all convert to a very right wing form of Buddhism (and Buddhism can be a pretty right wing religion, that is less prone to being duped by progs and Islamics but at the same time like Christianity values fair dealings and truth. Also it explicity and strongly rejects female equality) at the same time and start funding its propagation.

Pooch says:

The funny thing is I’m seeing more and more true, live, old-type Christianity on the dissident right now as response to all the evil the Elites are pushing out. One knows he must have faith in god to live through what we are about to experience.

Pooch says:

The aesthetics of the cross going up during the siege is a white pill to me that we are on the right track…

The Cominator says:

The whitepill of putting up crosses outside the congress as it was stormed would only come if they then started nailing congresscritters to them…

Pooch says:

Moldbug made an interesting point that right against left mob violence doesn’t work. It’s a fundamental inversion.

The whole thing was doomed from the start, so have to take the good with the bad now.

European Mutt says:

very right wing form of Buddhism

Buddhism outside of the West is almost always right-wing. Inside the West somehow only Falun Gong manages it.

The Cominator says:

“Moldbug made an interesting point that right against left mob violence doesn’t work. It’s a fundamental inversion.”

Rightist mob violence CAN work. Worked in Italy and worked in Germany (though the Nazis were leftists they were representing themselves more as rightists), now of course they had the institutions on their side and we don’t.

But what we do have on our side is that combat soldiers tend to be very right wing and will likely react badly to any order to shoot us en masse and will likely mutiny.

A mob cannot beat an army, but if the army won’t fight the mob the mob wins.

alf says:

Dead zone, dead zone… I cherished every two and a half comment a post I got.

My point is not to be atheist. I’m all for deus vult’ing. God makes much more sense than atheism.

My point is that memes don’t live forever. Which is good. And that in order to replace and/or improve a meme, you don’t need to have the replacement meme worked out from A to Z. Start with A, work it out from there.

A meme changes in meaning over time. That’s just the way it is. Can’t freeze time, not even the good times. Unfortunate, but true. Christianity in the 21st century is simply not what it was in the 18th century, and will never be what it was in the 18th century.

As for the unfalsification of the resurrection; if you really want to die on that hill, who am i to stop you. Its a cringe hill is all Im saying.

Pooch says:

Hitler did not use mob violence. He was highly organized from the start culminating with the completion of an entire party apparatus.

But what we do have on our side is that combat soldiers tend to be very right wing and will likely react badly to any order to shoot us en masse and will likely mutiny.

A mob cannot beat an army, but if the army won’t fight the mob the mob wins.

I don’t buy it. We are witnessing that they just follow orders from the elites. Without elite backing it’s a pipedream and we just wait, hope, and pray for a Napolean.

The Cominator says:

“I don’t buy it. We are witnessing that they just follow orders from the elites. Without elite backing it’s a pipedream and we just wait, hope, and pray for a Napolean.”

Nah that is cops not soldiers as I said a while ago. Our elite is as insane as the Khmer Rogue so if we have to depend on that we’re fucked.

Pooch says:

Well he did use mob violence at first, lost, got arrested, and realized that path doesn’t work from the right.

Pooch says:

Nah that is cops not soldiers as I said a while ago. Our elite is as insane as the Khmer Rogue so if we have to depend on that we’re fucked.

The national guard showed up and beat the shit out of the remaining trump supporters. They are carrying live ammo now apparently in DC. When the GOP unanimously condemn the “insurrectionists”, they have no problem following orders as they think they are protecting the true legitimate Republic.

We wait for a Napoleon from the military elite. They are less insane and are still leftists of yesteryear.

Did Caesar have any elite backing?

The Cominator says:

“The national guard showed up and beat the shit out of the remaining trump supporters.”

These were DC national guardsmen. Anyone who lives in DC or the beltway in general should be considered a hostile, with very very few exceptions.

Pooch says:

Nah it was VA and MD too, but we are splitting hairs.

Lord says:

re: Buddhism. Buddhism is literally the ONLY IE derived theology that has both a certified tradition rather than just LARPing ala “Paganism”

ACTUAL NON DEGENERATE BUDDHISM is by far the most Right-Wing living theology you can find since it recognizes the actuality that the world is and always will be fine how it is and it is not your place to “change” it, merely fulfill your Dharma unless you find a way to never return.

jim says:

There are innumerable Buddhisms, and all the ones that exist in the west are as gay as a wicca commune of lesbian witches.

Thai Buddhism is quite based, if you are a patriotic King honoring Thai. If you are not Thai and not a descendant of Thais, and not a subject of that monarch, and you convert to Thai Buddhism, you are as queer as a three dollar bill, and probably smoke dope while banging little boys that you purchased from child protective services.

Lord says:
jim says:

Yeah, yeah, good stuff if you are a member of a Buddhist racial group born into a Buddhist state.

No good for white people

The Cominator says:

Western buddhists tend to be leftists but new agey leftists (thou less likely to use drugs or at least smoke frequently than most new agey leftists) and not exactly progs…

And new agey leftists increasingly dislike progs. They aren’t our people but they aren’t their people either.

Atavistic Morality says:

No plan is going to help you, if these 4 years of constantly reading “plans” and “ideas” by different several factions from the Dissident Right has taught me anything. The “plan” mentality is part of what Sir John Glubb describes as the elements that further destroy civilizations, the idea that there’s always some trick, some magic intellectual exercise that will save you.

Only action will help you, only men of action achieve things. You must be willing to sacrifice, you must be willing to fight, you must be willing to endure, like the great ancestors of every great nation and civilization that has ever existed. They had no plan, and they had no mighty “intellect”, no colleges or great books and thinkers, what they had was mighty vitality, mighty action and mighty willingness.

A bunch of angry and haphazardly assembled white men took over Congress like it’s nothing. The “powers that be”, the priesthood and the different factions, they are all pathetic paper tigers. But there are no men of action left in the West, so nothing ever happens, the inertia just continues going on. Ironic, considering that was one of Trump’s catchphrases to talk about politicians, “all talk, no action”.

I am however very interested on the posts that Jim has promised, that information will allow us, the few individuals willing to take action, to guarantee our survival even better. I piss on every plan and every religion, worthless garbage all of it. Islam is completely worthless, but their men are willing to take action to a high degree, so they are going to conquer Europe. I despise them, their culture and their religion, but kudos to them.

Glad you’re back however, I think your posts are always worth a reading.

alf says:

My return is only temporary. My rift with Jim is too big. Thanks anyway.

Whether you call it plan, idea, story, does not matter. It is not fixed. we need to bend with society if we are to save any prt of it. We need a beacon of hope, a story that inspires. Jesus does not inspire. Jim is pulling a a weekend at Bernie’s with Jesus’ corpse, and I think it shows horribly. Say what you will about Roosh, at least he takes his Christlarping serious. Jim does not. Jim smacks a ‘recycled’ sticker on Jesus’s forehead and calls it a day. To Jim, Jesus is just a useful tool. So he’ll say shit like: ‘‘What you don’t think the bible is cool?’ *smacks a ‘cool’ sticker on some Christian buzzfeed tryhard* ‘Here this guy can explain to you why the bible is in fact really cool’.

It really does not work that way. But I am failing to get that point across to Jim.

How doesit work? Well let’s say it starts by talking the truth, by discussing the truth. I have already posted what I think is likely the truth on Christ. If Jim posts his version, I will know I have gotten my point across. But not holding my breath.

Bilge_Pump says:

Atheism has been torn apart by progressivism. For a brief time in my life Atheism had something that you could call masculine. Guys like Dawkins Hitchens and Dennett were, at least ostensibly, about rationality and skepticism. Most of the prominent figures in “new atheism” were men.

Later it became obvious that skepticism towards progressive ideas would be a liability, and thus “new atheism” had it’s schism, and nowadays you can’t show me any sort of atheist movement like there was then.

Western Atheism was thus feminized and essentially subsumed by the broader trend of “progress”. Personally, I am an atheist, but I have been alienated by them and would prefer to be ruled by Christians. In order to rule, you must have rules, which atheists conspicuously lack, apart from the new rules of maximum faggotry and diversity.

jim says:

For a while there was a massive debate on the internet (this was before blogs) between a reasonably masculine atheism dedicated to strict rationalism, and a fem faggot Christianity that was biblical literalist on Noah etc, but strangely lacking in literalism on marriage, men who lie with men, and all that.

And then the atheists discovered that strict rationalism was dangerous to your career, the atheist movement went fem faggot for the same reason Christianity did, and the debate went away.

We need a masculine rationalist Christianity – Saint Augustine’s biblical “literalism”, which treats the Bible as Hebrew poetry about history, rather than as history and geography.

Thus, for example, my interpretation of the miracles of Exodus is that the wrath of God manifested through material and effective causation as depicted in the Admonitions of Ipuwer, rather than by direct supernatural intervention, that Exodus is a religious and symbolic account of the same events that Ipuwer depicts.

I think Christianity went overboard on biblical literalism because that was a way of being Christian conservative that did not get you into trouble, unlike being Christian conservative on gays, women, and marriage.

Today, however, they are going overboard on “I love Jesus”. No one in the new testament says they love Jesus. “I love Jesus” is a justification for not following Christ the word.

alf says:

I don’t… I don’t get why people are talking about atheism. Am I coming off as an atheist? I mean, honestly, I don’t mind atheists. Christians say some good stuff, atheists say some good stuff. But I thought we had already solved the problem with Gnon.

jim says:

Gnon unites the worshippers of Christ with the worshippers of Gnon. Discussing the contradiction at the heart of Christianity as a contradiction splits them.

Yes, of course it is a contradiction. That is the whole point. That is why it works. So worshippers of Gnon should either affirm the contradiction, or shut up about it.

We have to accept the contradiction between mind and matter, between consciousness and material and effective causation, in order to have our feet on the ground. This requires a leap of faith. Why not then a leap of faith that lands with your feet on the ground and adoptive kinship in a tribe that has a top alpha who commands cooperate/cooperate equilibrium?

alf says:

I don’t know where you get the idea from that a contradiction is the heart of Christianity. Christ is the heart of Christianity. Being a Christian is like bathing in love, being a good person, having a trusting and faithful community. Extend a hand, don’t be an asshole. God loves us. That’s Christianity.

This contradiction you speak about is later politics. A defense against entryists. It is not at the heart of Christianity.

jim says:

> I don’t know where you get the idea from that a contradiction is the heart of Christianity. Christ is the heart of Christianity.

Christ was born in Bethlehem, died in Jerusalem, and is, is from before the beginning of the world. Wholly man and and wholly God. God is three and God is one.

It is a list of contradictions, the same contradiction repeated in three different ways.

The important earthly difference between this contradiction and 指鹿为马 is that Satan is the father of lies, and man who points at a deer and calls it a horse is also signaling his willingness to murder you, while the man who affirms the divinity of Christ is signaling his unwillingness to defect on you.

Pooch says:

The heart of Christianity is the Holy Trinity. God is three and God is one. Jesus is human and Jesus is divine. There were centuries of debate about that.

alf says:

Yes no doubt scholars priests and intellectuals have had centuries of debates on the trinity. Homo politicus. But Christ is at the center of christianity. And Christ died for our sins. That’s really all there is to it.

jim says:

But who was it that died for our sins? That is what there has been millenia of debate about, and every time that people who finessed the contradiction got the upper hand, earthly catastrophe ensued, as for example Christian Egypt. The latest example being the “I love Jesus” so called Christians.

If God did not sacrifice himself to man, you don’t close the circle, and you don’t get cooperation between people, elite, and ruler. And Egypt falls.

ten says:

Very good to see you again, alf! Please, stay for as long a while as you wish.

Everyone likes to think their religion/weltanschauung is very ancient, while in fact they all cyclically reform, and christianity has been lame before. Cool comes from victory, or in the small scale, dispensing violence or “resisting power”. The rebel kid is cool if he gets away with mouthing off to the teachers, he is lame if he doesn’t. Even though cops are hated, women still get wet from authority, uniforms and guns, and men act straight with cops around under normal circumstances.

The factions that enable internal cohesion and regeneration, ie female submission, and claim victory by violence, are the only ones up to the task of being the next cool. And among them, the one getting the best life, and the highest equilibrium of cooperation, has the advantage. My bet is clear, but then again, i can’t really entertain the thought of betting differently in a serious manner.

This positive dream to capture the minds of the faithful has usually been “avoid the abject misery relentlessly sweeping across the lands”, peace and good life. When there is peace and good life, it often turns towards “destroy evil”, or just evaporates into nihilism or hedonism. I don’t think there will be options on this, because i think there will be great and abject misery.

James Thornton says:

I’m probably lacking information and haven’t thought it all through, but I’ve never had a problem with the apparently contradictory statements that God is three and God is one, Christ is wholly God and wholly man.

The way I see it, metaphorically, the physical, natural, nonsupernatural world is a video game. Human souls are video game players, that exist outside the video game, but temporarily incarnate or “login” to the game, and take control of a character.

Similarly, God the Father is an entity exsting outside the video game, who logs in to the game as a human being called Jesus Christ. He is wholly man because he incarnates as a man just like we do, but is also wholly God because the player playing the man is still God. The Holy Spirit can be explained in a similar way, God interacting directly with the state of the video game to influence people.

jim says:

The ancient and respectable version of this model is “God as ground of being”.

You are on very old ground. Some very smart people have walked your path a very long time ago.

someDude says:

@Alf Mate, don’t go away. I think Jim and you agree on more things than you disagree on. Much much more. You agree on things way more important than what you disagree on. Isn’t that good enough to stay on?

We can discuss the contradictions and their useful role on your blog but you’re not accepting comments. I thought those contradictions are a nice design feature to ferret out defectors. Do you propose a new religion based entirely on the truth and nothing but the truth?

Red says:

Mormons are a no go for Men. They don’t want men, they want more women so they can return to Polygamy. Genetic dead end and a religion of people unwilling to be warriors. They’ll make a great community to raid for women as things get worse.

James says:

The reality is almost the opposite — they are more monogamous (on this Earth) than any other cultural group in America, and there is a huge dearth of men. When I went there a couple of years back, they basically begged me to join and dangled raises and potential wives (albeit older than my typical girlfriend) in front of me.

They do expect a lot of men, though. You are genuinely expected to be monogamous, provide for your family, and give up your vices.

Leon says:

Out of curiosity, what led you to go to Utah? Wandering down there to convert and have a family does not seem too bad. As weird as they can be they are a far better alternative to what has happened to a big chunk of America.

James says:

Hmm. I couldn’t summarize it in a reasonably-sized comment. Let’s just say I felt called to be here.

The Cominator says:

I heard a long long time ago (like back in the late 90s when I was in high school) the same thing… there are certain Mormon towns in Utah which need “new blood” to come into town and into the faith and will do a lot to get “new blood”.

He didn’t seem to mention that they were all that keen that you’d be a good Mormon yourself either, though I presume they expected you to raise your children as such.

notglowing says:

Not the same as openly disavowing them. This is much, much worse because it completely justifies everyone else throwing them under the bus now.
This could’ve been the beer hall putsch of the US but now even pro-Trump conservatives will be forced to consider it a mistake since he isn’t covering for them at all or at least leaving it unambiguous.
He specifically condemned them invading the capitol, he could’ve just said “the violence” (which there wasn’t) was wrong.

Now conservatives are completely leaderless even in theory.

Pooch says:

Didn’t even mention the girl who died.

onyomi says:

Yeah, this is kind of the last straw.

onyomi says:

Whether or not you disavow the protesters who entered the Capitol seems to be the new cuck test. One which almost every elected official seems to be failing.

I can forgive Trump a lot because I think he mostly did his best while hemmed in on all sides (and making some disastrous personnel choices), but I can’t forgive him for disavowing the protesters. He brought them there. He told them the election was stolen. He told them to march to the Capitol. In this respect I sort of have to agree with the left: insofar as the storming of the Capitol was bad, it was Trump’s fault. But as always with conservatives, the problem is they can’t see the difference between a good and bad cause when someone appeals to their “principles” like “law and order is good.”

The problem with BLM isn’t their tactics, it’s their targets and, most importantly, the fact that their cause is not just. The protestors were assembled at the Capitol by Trump, rightfully outraged by Trump’s speech, and behaved in a predictable manner. That he not only failed to capitalize on that but now even denounces them seems pretty iron-clad evidence he is still suffering a degree of normalcy bias and didn’t have the balls to go the extra mile.

BaboonTycoon says:

As VD just pointed out, Trump’s messaging was the exact opposite yesterday. Video told the attendees that he thought they were special and he loved them. I am not jumping on the “it’s a deepfake” train, but this message was almost certainly made under duress. Need to hear more from him. Silence is deafening.

The Cominator says:

Doesn’t matter he had them and he didn’t pull the trigger.

BaboonTycoon says:

It does matter. Under one scenario, Trump could still be of use to us. Under the other, he is completely compromised or was never with us and we need someone new. Schrodinger’s Trump once more.

Let us hope for the former. We are never going to find another man like Trump.

Karl says:

If Trump prefers surrender, anyother man like Trump won’t help.

Pooch says:

He probably made a deal to avoid impeachment and imprisonment in return for just reading whatever Nancy Pelosi wrote for him.

jsd says:

VD should delete his blog and never speak again after how atrociously wrong he was about everything

arqiduka says:

Pooch says:

Sounds like he knew he was powerless to stop impeachment and made a deal with Republicans to concede and renounce the protestors, probably so he can still use pardons.

Atavistic Morality says:

I mean, until the 20th I guess you can keep hoping for the best, but Trump is going to be in prison and/or brutally murdered within 6 months by the looks of it.

So is Tucker running in 2024 or what?

jim says:

Running does not matter any more, and is apt to be suicidal

notglowing says:

I don’t trust Cucker. He didn’t even talk about election fraud or support Trump while he was fighting it. Trump turned out to be useless in the end but that doesn’t mean Tucker wasn’t also. He’s just a journalist.

But also what Jim said. I don’t see any option for a right wing candidate to run for office.
Trump’s victory in 2016 was already a miracle that shouldn’t have happened.
But the conditions were right for it. After 8 years of Obama and only having traitors as republican presidents people wanted something new.
The press attacked him but they didn’t take him seriously for a long time and they simply weren’t prepared. But now they are, and same with social media.
It will be even harder to be right wing online in 2024 if not impossible, especially in terms of spreading ideas on normal social media platforms.
That’s also not considering that they got away with cheating and they will cheat even more next time.

I also believe that part of why Trump managed to win is precisely that he wasn’t really a far right person at all. He could’ve been (was) a democrat 20 years ago. Yet they made him out to be Hitler 3.

I don’t see any path forward at the moment, but even non-political solutions don’t seem viable.
They don’t even have to pretend to be following the rules there, they will just shut you down immediately. I think if people believe they can organize some sort of militia and win, they are much more delusional than even people who are hoping for Trump 2024.

Right now there’s just no chance of winning at all. But if things get worse, we might gain more allies.
If more normal people come to our side in the next four years the landscape can change completely.

Still even then the right lacks a leader. There’s no one who even comes close to being as good as Trump, and Trump failed.

Pooch says:

Our best chance is that the left accelerates the madness so quickly and with such an intensity that someone from the military puts a stop to it and coups against the regime. At least the storming of the Capital showed its completely weak.

notglowing says:

But they are literally leftists themselves. There’s no hope someone will spring up and save america from within the institutions.

We have seen that during the Trump presidency.
It’s not just that nobody is willing to risk their lives at the high levels to save the country. It’s not just that they won’t take an opportunity to do it.
It’s that they are actually leftists and they will not miss any opportunity to actually do the opposite, even if it means breaking the rules, to put obstacles in the way of Trump’s policies, which were always extremely moderate and centrist anyways.

Harold Green says:

It won’t be a case of someone trying to ‘save america’, as Jim has said it’ll likely be a member of the Left fearing for their neck as the holiness spiral increases in speed and intensity. This is why Cromwell, the Thermidorians, Stalin, and Hua Guofeng (or maybe Deng, more accurately) did what they did.

As Jim has noted, they seize power and freeze politics in place. There is suddenly no more status and power to be gained by outflanking others from the left, so the drift left stops. And then, there is a finally an opening for a restoration of civilized governance, or something roughly like it – Charles II, Napoleon, Deng, Khrushchev or Putin.

jim says:

Hua Gofeng was Maoist who, realizing he was going to be killed, did a coup against the crazy hard line Maoists. But his Maoism, while slightly less insane, was still very bad. Well if one coup, why not another, and the sane, led by Deng, took over the asylum and set about cleaning up the mess.

Xi seems to be moving leftwards from Deng, which worries me, but as yet I see no likelihood of recapitulating the disaster of Maoism.

Xi is worried by the power of the capitalist class, which he sees as a threat to party control. He is wrong. What is a threat to party control is that no one believes in the faith of the party. He needs a new state religion. Injecting party members into private businesses will just accelerate the corruption of the party. He needs to figure out how to create a virtuous, cooperative, and competent elite.

Xi seems to be putting his bets on a party of believers – but if you get a party of believers in socialism, pretty soon you are poor and broke.

Pooch says:

There are Trump loyalists in the military, but they are likely to be rooted out when by Biden.

The Cominator says:

“But they are literally leftists themselves.”

Military men tend to be center leftists to the extent they are leftists… the way Napoleon initially was. So sufficient madness and unpopularity among the regime could certainly provoke the government’s removal.

Mattis turned out to be a leftist and a backstabber but you could tell he wanted Trump to win (if you remember the hearings on Syria) because he just clearly thought going to war with Russia over Syria was madness.

So pooch is quite right that the military pozzed as it is, there is a level of madness they probably will not be willing to accept.

Pooch says:

I’d gladly take a Mattis regime over the current insanity.

BaboonTycoon says:

The United States military is an institution with more employees than the populations of some small countries. Blanket statements like “they are leftists” is meaningless as applied to it. I don’t know what the military is, but what I do know is that it is growing less and less white as the years go by. And that will definitely have some significance.

notglowing says:

I am talking about the people who get promoted to the high posts.
And those who graduate from the academies. Look at that.
They’re as far from us as could be.
What NCOs and such think doesn’t really matter, at least in the context of the military revolting. If some random soldiers revolt that’s no different from other random people doing so.

The Cominator says:

The military has to select to some degree for competence, it can’t go full blown bioleninism or full retard. Even if ships occasionally crash into each other now.

So yes the generals are pozzed, but they are not going to be as pozzed as civilian society. Even in post Bolshevik revolution Russia they were not as pozzed as general society, and that was with Trotsky at their head. Unpopular regimes need their military to function to some degree, even if they purge the officer corps regularly they just can’t promote based purely on fanaticism and bioleninism.

What they can do is institute political officers who are selected for that… but if the regime gets too unpopular or crazy it might not work.

Pooch says:

Yes most of the military brass, even though Obama leftist, are still mostly white male as of now.

Starman says:

@notglowing

My experience with Commanding Officers and other O-5/O-6’s is that they will express views that might be center-right. The pozz is very minimal, just enough to pass academia. One CO actually said openly at the muster of the entire command that he asked BlueGov civilians if they knew that the transgender suicide rate was north of 20%.

Pooch says:

I’ll say that one right-wing speaker that has gained a strong following through all of this stop the steal is Nick Fuentes with the zoomers. His speeches and livestreams have been spot on. I don’t know how he helps us in the near-term but at least its a white pill for the youth in that they are very red-pilled now growing up through Trump in their formative years.

The Ducking Man says:

I personally have doubt that blockchain/cryptocurrency will ever take off as legit currency because fundamentally the laymen sees cryptocurrency as “all the absurd amount of electricity, processing power, and time just so that we can buy legally questionable items on deep web”.

We were promised that eventually Bitcoin will not need absurd amount of electricity (never came true afaik), and then come Etherium that for some reason is immune to asic mining so that we can consume even more electricity for a lot less output.

I see a lot of EFT transaction to pay train ticket and foods, but never even once see BTC/ETH/or other crypto transaction. With such scant activity teh crypto world already asking for absurd of power and infrastructure to maintain.

Should shit hit the fan, will we be able to secure sufficient infrastructure and electricity to operate cryto blockchain? I personally don’t think so.

jim says:

These are all fixable problems, albeit people have been promising to fix them for a while. I have solutions for all of these problems, but the code for these solutions has scarcely begun. The solutions are, in short, proof of stake, blockdag, and a proper lightining network (which the current lightning network is not)

A correctly implemented lightning network will provide cheap instant on the spot transactions and onion routed transactions. Proof of stake will solve the waste of electricity and the immense cost of operating the blockchain at scale, and blockdag plus lightning network plus proper client peer architecture will solve the scaling problem, allowing everyone in the world to use crypto currency every time they buy a chocolate bar, without overwhelming the blockchain.

Meanwhile, fiat currency is becoming increasingly politicized. A peasant tries to order something from overseas, his money gets frozen. Paypal notoriously freezes, delays, and outrights steals money, particularly on international transactions. A filipino maid sends money to her mother to build a well, the bank freezes the payment.

People are using bitcoin for international transactions because other forms of payment keep running into problems.

A maze of overlapping and erratically and infrequently enforced laws on money laundering, tax evasion, capital exports, and so on and so forth have made all international transactions illegal, it is just that some institutions have the necessary connections to break the incomprehensibly numerous laws and to allow their clients to break the laws. Every so often there is however a crackdown, and some laws get enforced to a degree that no one was expecting, breaking lots of routine and perfectly law abiding transactions. And then, when they don’t turn up anyone particularly wicked, and they accidentally screw over someone important, they ease up on enforcing that law. And then some other law starts getting erratically and unpredictably enforced.

I don’t know much about the technology, but I see an economics problem, mainly that bitcoin is primarily used as a speculative “hodl”, ride the rollercoaster, cash out and buy a house, rather than an actually currency to pay for things.

That means, those international transactions are priced, quoted in USD, and bitcoin is just used for settlement. The price itself is not quoted in bitcoin, no one says this thing costs 1.5 bitcoin.

Because some doing that would face the problem his input costs fluctuate too much in bitcoin, because they are priced, quoted in USD, so the costs in bitcoin are based on the bitcion vs. USD ratio.

Chains of businesses need to be built up where you can buy inputs priced in bitcoin, pay employees or subcontractors priced in bitcoin, sell your products or services priced in bitcoin.

But currently at the end of the chain would be someone who needs to buy his inputs in USD and that man has an unacceptable risk of the cost fluctuating.

All this largely because the rollercoaster of speculative “hodl”. I think we need a cryptocurrency you cannot simply “invest” in, that is, buy and sit on it without actually using it.

This is not really investment anyway. Investment in the normal sense means giving money to someone else to buy tools and assets and produce something. This “investment” is not productive.

I get the theory that speculators normally play a stabilizing effect between current price and future price. So a company buying a lot of copper to build things from and afraid of price fluctuations can buy a put option, as a form of insurance, and he buys it from a speculator. The same can be done if a company sells in USD and buys input costs in JPY. But that is entirely different, because his input costs are in JPY because there is a lot of actual productive activity and lot of transctions going on in Japan, and because the currency speculator trades to and fro, does not just buy JPY and sit on it.

So this isn’t even speculation… (before someone asks me if I am butthurt for having missed the train, I did miss it, but I have bought part of my house buying and holding gold between 2007-2012, that was similarly unproductive, but good for me, so I have no reason to be butthurt, I did something similar just with a more conventional inflation hedge. And I have noticed that the gold I hodl does not lend anyone productivity, unlike a real investment.)

jim says:

> rather than an actually currency to pay for things.

I am seeing bitcoin used quite a lot as actual currency to pay for things. I have spent a great deal of bitcoin on actual things. The big problem is international transactions, and countries whose banking system is in even worse shape than America’s

Currently the total value of bitcoins is about seven percent of M1, M2, seven percent total value of US dollars.

Bitcoin is seriously starting to cut into the US dollar as an an international currency.

If you do international transactions, you are going to see a awful lot of business done in Kuwaiti Dinars, for which international transactions are actually legal, and Bitcoin, for which international transactions cannot be stopped, while every US$ transaction is done in the shadow of a multiplicity of poorly thought out laws capriciously, unpredictably, and erratically enforced.

But while prices are often quoted in Kuwaiti Dinars, they almost never quoted in bitcoin.

Money is a matter of functions four.

A medium, a measure, a standard and a store.

Bitcoin is not being used as a measure and a standard. And there are serious software architectural obstacles to using it in that fashion, which could be solved by a properly designed lightning network integrated with the blockdag. But it is doing quite well on the other two. Kuwaiti Dinars are being used as a standard and a measure.

Right now, in the shadows, it is a three horse race between the US dollar, the Kuwaiti Dinar, and bitcoin, with the Chinese renminbi hanging around wondering whether to join the race.

John C. Calhoun says:

Why in Kuwaiti Dinars? Also are there no other crypto currencies that have lower transaction costs than BTC? What is your opinion on Etherum?

jim says:

Ethereum is controlled by our enemies. At least bitcoin is controlled by the Chinese diaspora.

ryan says:

Can you expand on this? Do you mean the ethereum foundation, or that adoption by governments, banks and global corporations will ‘sanitize’ it and make it unsafe for dissidents?

jim says:

No idea why Kuwaiti Dinars. They just seem strangely popular. Have not looked into it. If it was UAE Dirham that would make sense and I would have a glib explanation. But it is not.

Proof of stake sounds like a good way to incentivise the buy-and-hodl people to do something useful. Egalitarians, of course, gonna complain that this is a perfect design for the rich getting richer. I think it is not – as long as the wild swings happen but the long-time direction is up and up, holders in proof-of-work are getting much richer without doing anything useful. Once it stabilizes, proof-of-stake will probably not pay an extremely high return on investment. I don’t know the technology, but I assume it allows competition, to offer to mine cheaper than the other coin-holder, bringing the price of mining to a reasonable, market-competitive ROI %.

In a proof of stake setup , my above objections, once the price stabilizes, will evaporate, buying coins will be like any other productive investment, like buying ore-mining machines.

I don’t quite understand lighting networks and blockdag, but I don’t need to. Thing is, proof-of-stake is faster than proof-of-work. These two are other technologies that make it even faster. Is that enough to know for a “layman”?

Karl says:

Cryptocurrency does not help with illegality of international transactions. Illegality is not a problem, if cruptocurrency is traded for something provided outside of governemnt controll, e.g. software, services etc.

Transactions with goods that have to be packed into a box to go through customs can be controlled by government. Smuggling works to some extent, but there are practical limits. How will cryptocurrency help me if I want to buy some machinery in China that my government does not want me to have?

Transactions within a country are harder to control for the government. Anything I have, I can give to someone who is willing to meet me. Cryptocurrency might help in a black market, because the prospective buyer meeting a stranger does not have to fear being robbed-which is a problem if you show up with a bag of gold coins intending to buy anything from a stranger.

Still I wonder how the Russian economy in 1931 would have differed if people had had cryptocurrency back then. Not much, is my guess.

C4ssidy says:

Just to throw a question into the open while I think about it myself: is there a cryptocurrency design that is suitable as a medium of exchange between Earth and Mars? It seems like an obvious problem that the planet with the more computing power could attack the system in the event of a rebellion or conflict . Under proof of stake, it seems like a similar problem if one planet was sufficiently richer than the other

jim says:

The convergence time for a distributed centerless crypto currency necessarily takes many times to communication lag time. However, the lightning network operates at the lag time. In a weight of stake currency, when mars is a small part of crypto currency, Martian transactions will always be finalized the earth majority. When Mars, the belt, and earth are roughly comparable, a weight of stake crypto currency will take a very long time to finalize a transaction. But lightning network transactions will always be finalized at with a time of order of the lag time between participants, so a lightning network transaction on Mars between Martian participants will be instant. However setting up a lightning network gateway, and shutting down a lightning network gateway, will take an hour or two. This is not prohibitive. Bank transactions actually days. They appear to be instant because there are multiple layers on top, providing fast transactions backed by slow transactions. Which is why it takes forever to set up a bank account or a credit card.

A slow crypto currency that is slow because spread out over the solar system between roughly comparable participants will still be faster than the base layer of our existing banking system, which is slow because still using the technology it used when stage coaches moved gold and silver between banks. Our existing banking system is fast because it has fast layers built on top of that slow layer, and one can analogously build fast layers on top of the crypto currency base layer.

A lightning network also has the effect of reducing the number of transactions appearing on the blockchain. Each transaction on the blockchain will represent the combined effect of a great many multilateral transactions between a great many people.

There is another way, in addition to the lightning network, of providing a fast transaction layer on top of the base layer. A short Schnorr signature can represent a large secret distributed between a great many people, which makes it possible to have crypto corporations, where a lot of people have shares in a secret. If the primary asset of a crypto corporation is unspent transaction outputs on the blockdag, its shares will trade at a fixed ratio to cryptocoins, and thus a crypto corporation located on Mars whose primary asset is on the blockdag will have fast tradeable shares that are equivalent to cryptocoins, and only its dissolution and formation will be slow.

Fred says:

That critique makes sense (sort of – why would you want to use cryptocurrency to buy a train ticket?) if you view cryptocurrency as a consumer product, but money is a product of network effects, rendering consumer preferences irrelevant.

Pseud-chrysostom says:

As a twitter w*man once famously opined, ‘how can i make promises if i do not know how i will feel in the future?’

Scuttlebutt is Mitch backstabbed Trump over the election in exchange for a ‘guarantee’ from the DNC for them to stick with Biden and not 25th him a year in to put camel on the throne. For Pence the word is they pulled out dirt on him they were originally saving for the first impeachment move, had it gone through.

What world do they think they’re living in, one can’t help but wonder. A fatal price for a laughable goal; such is perhaps the archetypical expression of a cuckservative’s mental calculus.

Pooch says:

The normalcy bias of the elites has been astonishing to witness I will say.

Pseudo-chrysostom says:

It’s something even deeper in that; it’s an asceding to changes in circumstances that would result in you having no power to do anything about it when the other party decides to screw you anyways. That’s a special kind of pathology.

The mantra of GOP types has always been ‘I dont mind loosing, as long as i dont lose *too* much!’ But as of course you know, that’s a ratchet that only turns one way in the long run.

Like breaking ranks and running in a melee, you are often more likely to die from cowardice than conviction.

Javier says:

Pence probably cucked for the chance to run in four years. Or he was always an establishment concession forced on Trump by the GOP for exactly this purpose. Probably both.

Anyway, I expect lethal escalation soon. Don’t get too demoralized, because the left’s over-reaction should provide more opportunities.

Epstein's Suicide Note says:

If Pence thinks he is going to run in four years, he is stupider than any of us could have even imagined. Millions of card-carrying Republicans will vote Democrat just to spite him.

Not that actual votes matter anymore – but the political machines are Democratic, and there is no reason the machines would promote Pence over whatever Democrat happens to be running that year. If he made a deal in which they promised to do that, the deal will not be honored.

Red says:

Deals are only honored between peers. Pence is a worm to the Dems.

Russia is still very weak and can’t afford conquest at the moment.

jim says:

It does not matter whether other nations prefer peace. America under Obama was not agreement capable, and America under Biden will be even less agreement capable. It takes two to make peace. But to make war only takes one, and less than one, for when a state lacks cohesion, one faction within the elite will make war while another faction is making peace, as with Serbia in the events leading to World War I. Chances are that in the not very distant future war will be upon the Russians regardless of what they intend.

Karl says:

Maybe it takes only one for international war, but sadly it takes two for a civil war. The progressives were ready for war, but Trump declined.

It just struck me that almost all the people charging the capitol where believers of the Q-Anon faith. The guy in the horned-hat was a self styled Q-Anon shaman. These people had true religious cohesion when charging in.

A bunch of shit posters on 4chan created a new religion that shook the capitol of the world’s greatest nation.

Jim was correct about legitimacy of any political operation. Without the clothes of legitimacy and leadership any dissent is bound to be and will be crushed.

Like the conspirators of failed July 20 plot, Trump lacked conviction in his own legitimacy and now it looks like all of the participants will be put on show trials and executed.

Biden presidency is looking extremely likely now.

The Cominator says:

The July plot failed because Hitler lived. Maybe they also had to kill Goering but it absolutely could have worked if Hitler was dead. Demonstrating capable and willing use of uncontested violence confers legitimacy especially with no one to lead opposition.

Trump did not launch a coup himself, it appears he was too cowardly to contemplate it. He would have won if he had… but he didn’t. The American ruling class has very little legitimacy outside the priest (Brahmin you would say in India) class and single women…

Pooch says:

Trump had no strategy and was ill prepared to seize the day.

A Honest Indian says:

From my own analysis and reading from multiple sources I think that the July plot would have led to civil war and a complete German collapse on all fronts had Hitler died. I don’t think the Nazi establishment would have surrendered easily to the conspirators and even the Wehrmacht would have been divided.

Even the conspirators themselves were divided as to whether to restore the monarchy or restore Weimar form of democracy and had to cobble together a compromise at the end to move forward the assassination attempt.

The Cominator says:

Himmler was probably in on it and if Hitler died and the conspirators named someone popular like Rommel the new leader opposition would have collapsed.

The war was hopelessly lost, a revolt that overthrew the nazi party probably at least would have gotten somewhat better treatment for Germany.

A Honest Indian says:

You’re right. What united the conspirators was the motive to save Germany before a total defeat on all fronts. Unfortunately they lacked a God Emperor because Hitler was the legitimate ruler.

A Honest Indian says:

Unless a leader genuinely believes in his God given mission and being above the establishment he cannot be a God Emperor. Seems Trump lacked that crucial ingredient.

onyomi says:

Yeah, I think literally all Trump had to do was march with the protesters to the Capitol (I still haven’t heard a good account of where he went after his speech? Got in a helicopter and back to the White House?), demand entrance to the capitol in the company of his “colleagues and friends,” walk in and say, “we’re here to make sure you make the right decision.” That wouldn’t have taken that much courage relative to e.g. literally leading men into battle as countless leaders have done throughout history.

A Honest Indian says:

He didn’t have the conviction in his own cause though. More than outright cowardice I think lack of conviction and outlandish normality bias is apparent here.

Pooch says:

How could that have worked? Surely he would have been assassinated since he was flagrantly breaking the law.

onyomi says:

Not surely. There would have been some risk of that, which is why I compared it to leading troops into battle, but the risk would probably have been lower than that involved in leading most charges in history. I even think I might have been able to do it had I been in his position, and I don’t pride myself on my physical bravery.

Also, is it against the law for the POTUS to demand access to the Congress floor for himself and a “few” colleagues during a joint session?

Pooch says:

I don’t know if that would have worked timing wise. By the time his speech had ended, they were already inside and Congress had already fled. He could have occupied the Capital but what would that have accomplished?

Mike says:

Read Moldbug’s latest piece. Comintator and others here are going full lolbertarian, thinking that simply occupying the capital and having a protest is all that was needed to make the government fall. Come on guys, you’ve read your Moldbug. Without elite support, none of it means anything. If there were no elites that Trump managed to convert to his side, no institutions to back him up, then he was fucked from the beginning.

The Cominator says:

I didn’t say he just needed to occupy the capitol he could have taken congress prisoner and forced them to pass whatever he wanted.

Pooch says:

They had already fled and were guarded by heavily armed guards willing to use lethal force. A few Qtards running around in the Rotunda taking selfies was not going to work. There needed to be a plan with armed loyalists (military, cops, or militia) to pull something like this off and there was none.

And even in the insane absurd ridiculous notion that they would manage to take Congress captive, Pence and Miller would have conspired to bring the full force on the state upon them. I’m not faulting Trump here. He had no other option but to send his people home to prevent further casualites

In the end, Trump was our Caesar as we watched practically every single Senator stab him including Pence. Now I guess we can wait for the funeral and there definitely will be one.

The Cominator says:

Congress took a while after the perimeter was breached to get out… whatever back way they have should have been sealed…

As for the legitimacy of such an action… the only legitimacy soon will come from Rule 303.

Pooch says:

As Moldbug points out in his recent post, Kantbot actually states it best:

“Imagine storming the Capital of the United States as the government of the country literally fucking flees and then just wandering around the building confused about why the level isn’t ending instead of declaring a new government and issuing warrants for congressmen’s arrest”

It was all just a LARP. Trump had no plan to cross the Rubicon. He never did. He could only threaten it, and when his mob accidentally crossed for him, he had no choice but to surrender.

Gestahlt says:

Moldbug is like Cicero. He’s eloquent and right about many things but whenever he actually prescribes a course of action one can taste his cowardice through is words.

onyomi says:

Yudkowsky’s take on this was good: government’s are just a LARP. Many great dynasties have been founded because e.g. a salt smuggler raided the castle with a bunch of farmers while the army was away.

Trump led his army to the banks of the Rubicon hoping their mere presence there would scare the Senate into doing what he wanted. Some of the troops started crossing without his explicit command and, instead of taking the lead, he fled and denounced them after the fact.

Now, returning to Rome in disgrace, he will be treated as if he had crossed and failed.

It didn’t fail because it was a LARP, it failed because the general abandoned his foot soldiers, who assumed he had a plan.

The Cominator says:

“Trump led his army to the banks of the Rubicon hoping their mere presence there would scare the Senate into doing what he wanted. Some of the troops started crossing without his explicit command and, instead of taking the lead, he fled and denounced them after the fact.”

Exactly right, cowardly, stupid, inexcusable, unforgivable.

Pooch says:

It didn’t fail because it was a LARP, it failed because the general abandoned his foot soldiers, who assumed he had a plan.

The soldiers had no guns and no elite backing. In that respect, it was just a larp. Even if he didn’t abandon them, it was surely doomed. Trump was not a warrior, so he never had planned to cross the Rubicon, only threaten it. The best he can do now is pardon them so their lives aren’t ruined.

Mike says:

@Pooch
To be hard on Trump, Caesar crossed the Rubicon with only one legion, and his only elite backing consisted of Mark Antony (the Triumvirate had broken up by this point). Other than that, all he had was his civilian supporters, same as Trump’s Amerikaners.

On the other hand though, even having one legion and Mark Anthony is more than what Trump seemed to have in terms of elites/soldiers.

Pooch says:

That’s fair. But after watching video, the mob inside was mostly just angry kids and not willing or able to do real violence, mostly just wandering around taking selfies like at a muesum. These were no legions. If Trump would have been able to get a platoon of US Marshals or militia members inside to take advantage of the chaos that’s another story, but the mob on its own was incapable of pulling of any type of coup.

Pseudo-chrysostom says:

The best play would have been to show up after the folk had already broken in, with a battalion of officers behind him, gaily walk through rounding people up to a prominent location inside, like the house chamber, give a big speech to the crowd while everyone is streaming on cellphones, then lead them back outside to stand by, and lead the good senators and good representatives back inside, thus restoring order, and turning the whole thing into a huge display of imperial majesty with the spotlight firmly centered on him.

Lefty media laid the onus on him for the events anyways, as is of course inevitable; if he actually did put himself into the situation, would have come out on top.

I’ve seen others like BAP going with this angle too. I can’t see it as anything other than massive cope, but I certainly wouldn’t put it past deep state to pull something like this. Doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not, though. Trump has no means of communicating with the public anymore. Only way anything happens is if Trump starts calling in favors from Russia or Erik Prince.

Epstein's Suicide Note says:

For people like Vox, it’s less about cope and more about maintaining his image. You can see it in his comically smug post from today: “if you think I’m wrong, it’s only because you’re too stupid and unimaginative to truly understand me.”

I wonder if intellectuals are prone to some kind of mental crisis as they age, similar to how a small number of super-alphas appear prone to bizarre tranny obsessions at the same age. If so, then it’s not much of a stretch that shills and feds would try to work them into it. The Q narrative seems to have a way of burrowing into people’s brains and never letting go, like a particularly resilient parasite.

Anyone who believes this latest deepfake conspiracy theory might want to recall that the stupider/crazier leftists were making the same claims about Trump’s videos when he had Covid, based on the same quality of “evidence”.

~loclun-midwyt says:

It seems to me that the real turning point on the day was Miller flipping.

In the morning Trump family and associates were all high energy and in a positive mood. Trump gave a good speech and didn’t really show any sign that he would give up, and seemed to hint that he expected Pence would betray him.

The march begins and he tweets out:

>Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!

That doesn’t sound like he’s going to give up.

People break inside the capitol and it gets reported that DC mayor is calling for national guard, but Pentagon has denied her request.

About one hour later its reported that the national guard are on their way, after Miller had a meeting with Pence, Pelosi, and Schumer, but not Trump.

Seems Trump believed Miller would be loyal to him, and when he wasn’t he found himself out of options.

Anyone else have theories?

I’m sure there are a million other things going on at once too, and we’ll never truly knew what went down.

Pooch says:

Yes I saw that too. It looks like they all couped against Trump. Thinking about this more, what could Trump possibly have done for victory? Not surrendering seemed doomed to fail. The NG was on their way and Congress had escaped by the time Trump supporters breached the chambers. He had no leverage. What would invoking IA had even meant at that point?

Prince Charming says:

Your timeline is way off, perhaps because you were, as you claim, there; fog of war etc. So you come to idiotic conclusions from faulty premises.

Parliamentarians were still in the building when the mob arrived, which is why we got the standoffs and the martyr girl. Some 600 VIPs, many of them elderly slow-walkers, that need to be shuffled through the underground corridors. Takes time, and you realistically need only a rump.

“what could possibly be done” is obvious

Pooch says:

You are right.

clovis says:

I haven’t seen anyone talking about Miller doing that, but when I read it it was demoralizing. Maybe it’s not true, but if it is, it illustrates the points Jim has made over the years abut the necessity of having a priesthood or educated elite able to carry out the business of government. We had a leader but the swamp swallowed him up.

Pooch says:

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/politics/pence-national-guard/index.html

Pence went around Trump and met directly with Miller.

Pooch says:

Miller also confirmed that he and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, spoke with Pence, not Trump, on Wednesday afternoon. He also said he was in contact with top congressional lawmakers.
“Chairman Milley and I just spoke separately with the Vice President and with Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Senator Schumer and Representative Hoyer about the situation at the U.S. Capitol. We have fully activated the D.C. National Guard to assist federal and local law enforcement as they work to peacefully address the situation,” he said in a statement.

Vae Victis says:
anon says:

this

Miller and co. should read the story of Rudolf Hess, who betrayed Hitler and flew to England to negotiate peace on his own in 1941, and was thrown into prison until he committed suicide in it in 1987. A lot of other big dogs who never betrayed Hitler and were arguably guiltier, like Speer, got it easier in Nuremberg. I personally cannot explain the unusual, more-than-Nuremberg harshness towards Hess, but the story suggests me treason is not necessarily rewarded, in fact it can be punished worse than loyalty, by those one wants to defect to.

Pooch says:

I hope we survive long enough to see the salami slicer come down on all of them.

The Cominator says:

Something about the full and true Hess story is so embarassing to the allies that its been covered up to this day.

Hess did not betray… and if any of the senior nazis can be said to be a truly good man it was Hess. Its a travesty that a guy who tried to prevent the war, tried to stop it, and was involved in no way with the atrocities of the Reich was given lifetime incarceration… worse than death.

The Obscurantist says:

This has been my way of thinking since Wednesday. Few people have been discussing Miller, but it’s evident by his actions that day – unconstitutionally calling the National Guard in consultation with Pence and Congressional leaders – that he was a decisive, perhaps the decisive factor, in the coup against President Trump.

Was he ever in play or was he always going to betray the President in the same way as Pence?

I question whether the Insurrection Act was ever feasible, whether right after the November selection or before, during the summer riots.

After the events of 1/6 who at a senior level within the government in the administration, the military, or Congress would genuinely have supported President Trump in any extraordinary actions to resist the coup? Absent such elite support, the only option would be a plebian revolt, something on a much grander scale than 1/6 with armed Trump supporters, accompanied by uprisings in state capitals, national general strike, civil disobedience, etc.

He is right that in the long term elites need to be replaced. He is wrong to think that the current elite can be convinced to defect to a new, forming elite. He has not convinced a significant number of what he calls Brahmins and I think he will never succeed at that. Elite needs to be replaced wholesale, by high-IQ proles with good genetics (a few sprinkles of the old elite can’t hurt but only if they aren’t recent converts). Successful coup by Trump (pretty much as he described it) would have diminished the status of the ruling elite enough to make wholesale replacement the obvious option going forward.

This change, from indirect dissidence to direct dissidence, is a critical transition point in the life of the revolutionary total state. The outcome of this transition is that, very soon, it becomes utterly impossible for any cool person to support the government.

Curtis Yarvin is always right.

Except on very Holy topics like coronavirus. Although if he writes that people are going to get arrested for tweets, he is hopefully aware he should escape American Empire asap. Hopefully he loses these pretenses of the leftist zeitgeist then.

Pooch says:

The part about right against left mass mob demonstration being a fundamental inversion and thus doomed to fail was particularly interesting.

Red says:

Mobs only work when backed up with men with guns. Trump failed to have men with guns ready to go, IE he believed the official Whig history rather than reality.

I knew the US was pretty much fucked when the insurrection act wasn’t declared by in October to first deal with Antifa, then deal with the people directing them. Then Durham report didn’t appear. I’d long suspected that Trump couldn’t rule because he was a merchant rather than a warrior or a priest, but Jim’s a pretty convincing guy and I wanted to believe that Trump could become something he wasn’t. I was especially upset that that Trump didn’t put his own money up to defend Kyle. I’ll stick with my gut next time.

Pooch says:

Not necessarily. Left on right mobs are holy and thus have elite backing built in so don’t need guns (at least until civil war starts). Right on left mobs are unholy so definitely need men with guns.

QED says:

Yarvin was wrong about Bitcoin. Jim was right.

Although Yarvin may prove prescient there as well, now that the Regime has taken full power.

Jim, what are the chances they go after cryptos in the not-too-distant future? I’m considering liquidating my holdings while things are at such highs.

jim says:

It is absolutely inevitable that a crypto currency will replace the US dollar.

If that crypto currency is bitcoin it will stabilize at around ten times its current value.

Yes, a high risk investment, bitcoin is quite vulnerable in a crackdown, because the miners control the currency, and are immobile with expensive immobile equipment. But it has a high upside.

Likely there will be a crackdown, and we will come out of it with a crypto currency more resistant to crackdowns.

Likely you will lose all your bitcoin. Also likely investing in bitcoin will make you rich.

Jewdapest is already to POZ+ lost and that’s practically the entire population center of the country.

The Cominator says:

Orban fell for the Covid meme?

Atavistic Morality says:

Politicians don’t “fall” for the Covid meme, they fucking love it. They get more control, more power, and the slave population just accepts it out of fear, what is there not to love for them? Politicians aren’t “left” or “right” first, they are politicians first. and they care for their own interests and the interests of their parasitic bureaucratic class first and foremost.

I think the GOP made that clear for anyone to see in America just a couple of days ago.

Pseudo-chrysostom says:

>Politicians aren’t “left” or “right” first, they are politicians first. and they care for their own interests and the interests of their parasitic bureaucratic class first and foremost.

Which is to say, a politician is left first.

After all, what is this thing, a politician, anyways? Where do they exist? When did they start existing? The very idea of a ‘politician’ is in the first place an inherently demotist thing.

Atavistic Morality says:

Yes, that is a good point.

Mike says:

If the idea of Politics itself is demotist, then I guess Aristotle was a libtard.

Atavistic Morality says:

He is talking about modern politicians as figures, not politics in general.

European Mutt says:

Yes Orban looks more and more like a snake. He is an Erdogan/Sakashvili type. To his credit he seems to be outwitting EU at every turn (which isn’t very hard though) and he’s also making some favorable gestures towards Russia (Russian contractors for nuclear power plants and Russian vaccine approval). If I were Putin I would not trust this man.

Loving the Covid meme has a downside, you might get voted out. There are two solutions: Be right-wing populist enough so people will vote for you anyway or rig the vote.

Upravda says:

Orban is socialist. National socialist, but socialist nevertheless. He showed it early in the beginnings, putting VAT at 27%, plundering voluntary pension funds, nowadays going full coronatard, etc.

He is thorn in the ass of EU, however, and he showed Soros the way out, so I have soft spot for him. 🙂

European Mutt says:

Haven’t been to Hungary in a few years. Curfew because of coronahoax? I just know Orban fell for it too, that was very disappointing.

Bolsonaro saw through it right away. I love it how he induces violent rage in journalists with his straight-shooting style where he basically just says common-sense stuff. And he’s a warrior not a merchant. But no idea about Brazilian anti-air defenses.

Obake says:

Orban has massive power now from the Parliament and has used it to utterly lock the country down over Chingitus. He’s not so based guys. He has gone totally along with the program but Hungary always has its hand out for gibs. Hungarians are perpetually broke and always looking for an angle.

Diogenes says:

I’m a Hungarian, a long time reader of this blog.
On 20th of December, all the significant opposition parties (from left to “far-right”) joined to run against Fidesz, the governing party in 2022. This is the political situation in the country now. Unfortunately, we probably have enough suitable human material to attempt a color revolution, but right now this seems unlikely. At the very least, we can expect a huge increase in enemy propaganda, the hatred of our country was already clearly signalled.

clovis says:

Yeah, I’d imagine you and Poland are on a short list for regime change in the next few years.

Washington rules them indirectly, through the EU. So the first sign of it will be a sudden replacement of weaker EU elites with stronger loyalists/more fanatical progs. That will be the first warning sign. The second warning sign will be someone buying up the media or funding new media. Soros being the obvious financer for that.

It doesn’t just start immediately with the Air Force like with Milosevic. That would be very unseemly in EU territory. They would have to be first kicked out of the EU for that. And from the NATO. Certain appearances have to be kept up.

A third thing to add is that there is a serious gap in poz. One LGBTQXYZ activist said it is really strange that there they at the same time have to argue the modern stuff, like tranny toilets and at the same time stuff that has been accepted in America like 40 years ago like being ghey is not a mental illness. If they want to push the latest poz, in order to look up to date and cool, the people might be forced to pay lip service to it but will not really accept it because it is a too sudden leap in the water temperature for the frog in the pot.

BaboonTycoon says:

Last I checked from Hungary, it was effectively the opposite situation of what we have now. Orban kicked out foreign NGOs, specifically naming Soros in doing so and wrote anti-poz into the country’s constitution. Fags and trannies are excluded from the legal definition of a family. Even banned trannies from children’s books. Dude pays couples to marry and have kids. Orban seems quite well aware of the color revolution playbook and has taken pretty much all the steps that can be expected of him to resist it short of nationalizing the media, which he will probably do upon deciding the EU payouts are no longer worth it. I remember hearing a statement from him that he’d rather leave EU than be forced to accept migrants.

Poland, I would be more worried about. They need a strongman and do not have one.

Routine computer security works surprisingly well. Our enemies are lazy and incompetent.

James says:

To take it a step further, I’ve been extremely extremely lax about what I’d consider even basic computer security when participating in dissident sites for years, to no ill effect. I’m still getting raises, my passport still works, I am still a free man in nearly every way that a man can be free in this world.

The reality is that the Left is not very good at targeted attacks against multiple targets. They just aren’t very good at organizing, and have an instinctive hatred and distrust of organization, especially organization around meritocratic qualities like competence. Every organization they take over, they immediately fill with diversity hires and microaggression trainings.

With that as the backdrop, the thing to understand is that unless you have serious power, the organized elite of the left will not be coming after you. The disorganized masses of the left, in general, only cause a stink if you are an extremely low effort target. There are two exceptions to this:

1) Young, fertile-aged women looking for men to shit test. They get minor gina tingles and see if they can get their resident bad boy to put her in her place. Jim’s blog, for the most part, is about a bunch of men sharing ideas in the nerdiest, borderline-autistic way possible, which the gina brain is almost incapable of engaging with.

2) Old, bitter women looking for an alpha male to take down and get status from. Same idea. This isn’t a flashy place where we’re showing off our money and our mates, and we have no other visible markers of status that a bitter old cat lady is going to pick up on.

Furthermore, to even comprehend why this site is so bad would require the commission of a level of thoughtcrime that is essentially impossible (and certainly impermissible) for your typical leftist. The only people who would come after us are the elites, and they have far bigger fish to fry.

In the coming post-Trump crackdown, that may change, but I suspect we’re far enough down on the list of targets that it’s not a present concern of mine.

Epstein's Suicide Note says:

The problem is what happens when they get far enough down the list to notice you, or when you accidentally bump yourself up the list. It could be something that you consider very unimportant or don’t even notice, such as failing a woman’s subtle shit test or failing to grovel before a member of a Disadvantaged Group. Or it could be that you show up in a database leak from WordPress or Disqus or Blogger.

What happens then? If someone has, let’s euphemistically say, “probable cause” to “investigate” you, either starting from your real identity and looking for evidence of thought crimes, or starting from an online thought crime and looking to connect you to a real identity, what will they find?

During the next few months, Prog’s militant wing will be both energized and angry, which makes it a good time to lay low and work on securing your identity, if you haven’t already. You don’t get to buy insurance after your house burns down, and you don’t get to cover your tracks after you’ve been caught. You probably don’t need to be Behind Seven Proxies, but don’t make it too easy.

James says:

While you are correct in a factual sense, I think you overestimate the practical relevance. I don’t personally know anybody who has been cancelled. I maybe know somebody who know somebody who got cancelled a few years back. Everybody agreed it was dumb and he had another job within a week.

Yes, things are a bit heightened right now, but these things come and go. It’s awful for social cohesion, good leadership, and sorting by merit, but as mere individuals, the odds of any of us being targeted and effectively taken down are probably less than 1% in our lifetimes. It’s something to prepare for, but not something to worry about.

Bilge_Pump says:

This isn’t related to the post, but still relevant to the blog I believe.

How do you guys deal with women at work? I am tall and good looking but def a nerd and I find women to be pretty boring. I have coworkers and customers hitting on me at every job I get. It’s annoying for several reasons.

1) I just want to do my damn job, don’t want to have to deal with “Is he alpha” bullshit.

2) I’m pretty poor atm and don’t have much confidence in the stability of a ltr for myself. Hopefully this will change soon as I should have a decent job if things go well. Still, I know I’m not the bad boy alpha that women dream about and will be basically buying sex. Fine by me, just need to able to ensnare them financially, which limits my choices somewhat.

3) I’ve been fired from jobs for failing shit tests. Gone from the bitch is obviously hitting on me, to she wants me gone asap in one sentence. That time was pretty funny actually, one of my managers was straight up telling me I would be allowed to grab female coworkers asses (hoping I would grab her), as I was complaining to her about another female manager grabbing me and saying suggestive shit! My response was “I would never consider it, because of the risk”

They were shitty jobs that I don’t care about, but still. I’d hate for it to happen at a good job.

Don’t worry, they are completely aware, first comes the digital purge and then will come the physical. Unless you agree with the Vox Day line of thinking and believe this is 3tonMillionChess by Trump, which sounds and seems very unlikely.

11 days to see what **exactly** happens, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if that very same day Trump is publicly hanged.

“Sometimes I wonder if the left realizes that when they delete someone online nothing actually happens to them in real life. They don’t just cease to exist.”

Eh, censorship exists for a long, long time, and the reason for that is that it works. They don’t cease to exist, but it makes a big difference how many people you can talk to or how many people can hear what you have to say.

In 1980 or so sarcastic cartoonists have portrayed modern society as people sitting in cubes watching TV, isolated, alone, each just getting the message from Big Brother. The Internet changed it. Communication, media became more grassroots and bidireactional. It was a Wild West and it was clear to me already in the 1990’s that the elites do not like that, not really for political reasons but for example copyright, filesharing, Metallica vs. Napster. But it was unclear to me whether they can do anything about that.

Now the answer seems more clear to that. First decentralized blogs got centralized into social media. Then the social media started censoring. It is effectively TV again, just a different principle, instead of deciding on the approved programming, they decide on the unapproved programming. It wouldn’t even be a bad system if the criteria was not based on poz.

We could go back to self-hosted blogs. At least they are a bit harder to take down. But one big thing has changed. A lot of people in 2000 had no other options than to consume and even participate on that blogs, or back to TV. Now social media is an alternative and easier option to a lot of people. Hence, less audience.

The Ducking Man says:

Oh man, I remeber back in 2010 in internet cafe I would spend hours just reading some obsecure blog and I would find new blog to read every month.

Fast forward 2020, the blog I find is Jim and RooshV.

Jim,

Look at it this way. If the breaking into the capitol was an illegitimate use of force, it brings the civil war earlier rather than later, because it made leftists spiral faster. More paranoid, having more excuses to resort to force against the Right and so on. They feel like the breaking into the capitol was evidence for a lot of things they believed in, that Trump is literally Hitler and wants to be dictator etc. Leftoids on Twitter are already saying “we cannot keep having a democracy and coexist with these people”. They started spiralling faster.

Let’s put it this way. If Trump supporters would grow a little moustache, and goose-step around with Roman salutes yelling Sieg Heil, it would be a good thing because it would make the left spiral faster, they would see it as evidence for everything they believed in, hence they would resort to force faster, hence start the civil war earlier, hence the Right would be more like to win it.

I forgot this part: in my absurd example, the military and ordinary conservatives would of course not defend the moustache guys. But once the left massacred them, they would go on massacring the ordinary conservatives, and this is how the civil war would start earlier rather than later.

Karl says:

Despite mass killings civil war never happened in Cambodia. Civil war requires leadership an collective action to resist mass killings force.

Awfully hard to get such leadership after a leftists dictorship is established.

Javier says:

What left wing dictator though? Biden? Trumelpepleereesze?

Kamala was the most hated candidate. Did not win a single primary. The rest colluded to win a few votes and handed them all to Biden. Biden is obviously puppeted by a cabal of deep state actors. He’s no Lenin or Trotsky, not even a Pol Pot or Castro. Does he have a Beria or Che? Unknown.

Pelosi is a hundred years old. Bernie is a tool. AOC and Omar are regional ethnic warlords at best.

Months ago I said a Biden win would have an upside, as the gloves and masks of the left would come off. That is happening now. They also have no plan. They are lashing out randomly in all directions and whatever targets are in view. Conservatives are going to ground, leaving most targets fellow leftists.

The left are like ants defending the mound. Once Trump is gone and major threats are cleared, they won’t know who to attack anymore. But a lot of normies are waking up to just how much trouble they are in.

BaboonTycoon says:

Where do you see evidence of leftists attacking each other? That won’t happen until they’ve completely eliminated Trump from ever having relevance

And it really doesn’t matter if the political figures are decrepit when more or less everyone with power and resources supports the current regime. Who’s still standing with Trump, Goya foods and the Mypillow guy? Maybe Coinbase and Redbull? Military leadership and communications infrastructure all held by left, unless Torba somehow makes it big off what’s going on right now (and I don’t expect gab to last long even if he does)

Perhaps they don’t have a dictatorship but so long as no one wants to risk their livelihood to do the right thing, the present situation will continue

Pooch says:

You think they’ll raid Torba?

BaboonTycoon says:

At some point or another. It’ll happen right away if Trump goes with Gab. Granted, Torba’s been smart enough to not be using google/amazon/cloudflare in his web design, but I’m sure they’ll find some other way. Freezing his bank accounts or something.

Prince Charming says:

See what they did to Anglin, and extrapolate

Starman says:

@BaboonTycoon

“Military leadership and communications infrastructure all held by left,”

Not familiar with the military, are you?
Although technically, President Trump would be left too. He doesn’t publicly oppose women’s rights after all.

Keep in mind that Nancy and her ilk didn’t go begging the Harvard Law faculty for help and final decisions, Nancy and her ilk went begging the Pentagon for help and for final decision making

Mike says:

So? Its almost like the Pentagon is the center of the defense industry and military, not fucking Harvard. What point are you making?

Starman says:

@Mike

Nancy and her ilk are going to the Pentagon for help against “bad orange man” instead of going to the Harvard Law faculty for help against “bad orange man.”

Of course that is incomprehensible to a limpwristed brahmin such as yourself. People with no callouses on their hands really are alien to me.

Mike says:

Yes, and that’s obvious. Your statement is a nothing-burger. Why would they go to Harvard for help when Harvard only owns the ideology, and not the guns they’ll need to repress Trump and his supporters? Harvard has already been legitimizing violence against Trump and his supporters for years now. Pelosi and company needed someone to actually enforce that violence on January the 7th, and that’s obviously going to be the Pentagon, not faggots from Harvard yard.

Pooch says:

It’s clear the Pentagon is not listening to Pelosi. They are taking order from Pence. Miller and Pence are close. Pence’s son is a marine pilot. Makes sense.

Pooch says:

It’s the GOP establishment, yesteryears leftists, that has true power of the military in the US, who are also yesteryears leftists.

BaboonTycoon says:

And did they refuse? Have they lifted a finger? Or have they gone along with every single bullshit diversity and inclusion initiative these beltway hacks have been promoting?

Rank and file military aren’t as pozzed as the officers, sure, but they’re not making the decisions and they seem unwilling to assert themselves for now. It’s best to operate under the assumption that the military is against us until they prove otherwise. So far, a repeat of the Spanish or Portuguese revolutions does not seem likely, but keep crossing your fingers that Flynn will do something

Pooch says:

Military are not raging rightists like everyone wants to believe. Outside of the prole soldiers, To me they look GOP through and through and to the extent the GOP supported Trump they also supported Trump.

Epstein's Suicide Note says:

If we’ve learned anything from recent events, and I thought we all learned this before Trump, it should be that there is no GOP or Democratic Party, there is only the US Government and a cotton-headed rabble with delusions of reforming the US Government, the latter of which does not include the nominal GOP, and may not have ever truly included Trump, though the latter is up for debate.

There are perhaps competing factions of the US Government, but they all want to preserve the US Government, and when they perceived a possible threat to the US Government, even a fairly amusing and pathetic one, they all immediately banded together to eliminate the threat.

Maybe “threat” isn’t even the right word – more like a “challenge” to the authority of the US Government. And like a woman’s shit test, said challenge had to be put down with force, lest it invite more serious challenges. The mob challenged the US Government and the US Army is part of the US Government. Ergo, US Army put down the mob, or would have done so if the mob had not already disbanded.

Pooch says:

As of now, there still seems to be the inner-outer party arrangement. The GOP is acting as if they still have some semblance of power. Especially by turning down the 25th amendment and holding off impeachment. We know they will be ejected soon but they don’t know that and are acting as if things will go back to the old arrangement.

Epstein's Suicide Note says:

The Outer Party did not actually have aspirations of usurping the Inner Party. What Orwell was telling us with this structure is that any appearance of inter-party competition is little more than a puppet show for the proles. Some Outer Party members may long to join the ranks of the Inner Party, but they all work for and support Big Brother.

Perhaps they will be ejected anyway, if for no other reason than that of keeping up appearances. It won’t change much in a practical way, but I can’t deny it would be cathartic. I find I have a lot more contempt for the merchants of false hope than I do for the distributors of misery.

The US left habitually escalates since playing hawk has worked so well for them. What I’m seeing here specifically is fear and rage.

Now they want revenge.

So if this was a false flag it looks like it turned into a big own goal. Perhaps they sent some too competent people to spearhead the job (like FBI pros in funny clothes). But I’m leaning away from this being the case since this light hearted bit of direct action didn’t turn into a disaster.

Conclusion on trinity reached here

Summary: the trinity is an imperfect solution for an imperfect telling of Jesus’ story. Matthew, Luke and Mark describe Jesus as the son of God, John describes Jesus as both the son and God himself.

Red says:

The Trinity works because it prevents further sons of God. A major problem with religions founded by charismatic men is someone else coming and claiming to be another sort of Son of God or another Prophet Mohmand. Islam dealt with this problem by having Mohmand be the last Prophet. Christianity by having God being 3 in 1. Branches of Christianity that violated the Trinity all died, with the most notable branch being the group that the Chinese Government exterminated after they collaborated with the Buddhists in the 7th century.

Constantine chose the option that was mostly likely not result in a someone claiming to be the Son of God overthrowing his temporal power. It’s a good time tested model.

alf says:

Yes that makes perfect sense, but that is also why we need to break it open, at least somewhat.

Religions are man-made, so they are imperfect. For symbolism’s sake, we can say there is perfection in imperfection, but the truth of the matter is that as mankind and its civilizations evolve, so must its religions.

I am sure there is a good middle ground here. I am not saying Jim or anyone else go say that they are the new son of God, although if anyone wants to make that claim I won’t stop it either. What I am saying is that there has to be some sort of moral continuation of the narrative that makes sense to people. A new story, something that can inspire us.

Red says:

Breaking open the Trinity is guaranteed to Generate new Sons of God and endless holyness spiraling.

>What I am saying is that there has to be some sort of moral continuation of the narrative that makes sense to people.

Humans are not rational creatures. Today the most scared belief of progressism is white people are magically making blacks fail in life. People believe it and yell it from the mountaintop despite it being nonsensical.

Look at the Covenington kids, despite masses of video people were happy to hallucinate something that didn’t happen. Our brains don’t care about rationality, they care about belief.

>A new story, something that can inspire us.

Constantine had his solider paint the cross on their shields as Commanded by God in a vision and won with crown through the power of GNON’s battle cohesion. Miracles tend to be of that nature.

For new stories to inspire us we’re going to need people willing to create them and attribute divine powers to those victories.

alf says:

Breaking open the Trinity is guaranteed to Generate new Sons of God and endless holyness spiraling.

You are right luckily Christianity right now doesn’t have that problem /s.

In all seriousness, of course there is a risk involved. But we have reached the point where the risk of not doing it is bigger than the risk of doing it. And besides, if we are talking about a leap of faith… This is that leap of faith. The stories of the past should and cannot forever strangle the stories of the future.

Red says:

I not aware that Christianity is currently holiness spiraling.

Christianity mostly appears to be dead outside of Russia and a few places in eastern Europe, but people would rather hang onto it than embrace a religion that’s going to require them to place their children and grandchildren on the alter to sacrifice them to the demon gods of progressism. In the end the elites are likely to make everyone fully convert to progressism just as they’ve mostly made churches already convert to it.

jim says:

Well that would be an argument if you had a story of the future that was being strangled.

That has been my entire argument. You are strangling your own story by presenting yourself as a man of hard-hitting truths, which you suddenly forget when the life of Christ is mentioned. It’s incoherent. In your current presentation, I can’t sell you. I can sell many of your ideas, but I can’t sell you as a person, and that is what is necessary.

Red says:

Alf, Jim’s a teacher, not a prophet. He can’t be the headliner for Christianity 2.0. Jesus was the prophet and Paul was the teacher. Jim’s filling Paul’s shoes but we don’t have Prophet. We need both for a reboot. Trump might have made a good Prophet given the way people are taken with him, but I don’t think that’s happening now.

alf says:

Then let him teach us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth regarding Christ.

jim says:

Nuts.

I have enough difficulty trying to teach the truth about game.

Game is enough hard to express in words. You want me to tell the whole truth about matters beyond mortal comprehension?

Every coherent, internally consistent, and reasonably intelligible position on the trinity and on Christ has been declared to be heresy, in large part because the heretics wound up doing bad things.

Is my position on game the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

Well it is a near as I can make it, but that is not very near.

Red says:

>Then let him teach us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth regarding Christ.

When has he not done that? I first learned here Jesus was trying to convince the Jews not to start a war with Rome by holiness cycling and most of the entire New Testament started making complete sense.

One can’t prove that Jesus wasn’t God, and man, and rose again on the 3ed day. It’s unknowable. What you can prove is that Christianity tends to produce good outcomes when Jesus is viewed as God, Man and rose again on the 3ed day, while the version that doesn’t believe such things doesn’t produce good outcomes.

Good beliefs in the unknowable should be judged by outcomes.

The Cominator says:

Alf what is your alternative religion?

alf says:

@com; I think the question is childish and demanding of something that the asker knows does not exist at the time of asking.

But assuming you are asking in good faith: it could be in whatever direction Jim points towards. But if he points us back the way we came, then no.

alf says:

One can’t prove that Jesus wasn’t God, and man, and rose again on the 3ed day. It’s unknowable.

absolutely unknowable, an unsolvable mystery we will never ever get to the bottom of 🙄

alf says:

Game is enough hard to express in words. You want me to tell the whole truth about matters beyond mortal comprehension?

No, just the whole truth on the story of Christ.

Which you have spoken here, before. And then you suddenly stopped doing so.

Red says:

Well lookie here, Alfie boy’s got himself a hottub time machine. He’s heading back in time right now to prove the tomb is wasn’t empty 3 days later. Well get going boy, that hot tub only stays warm for so long.

alf says:

Is that… Really what you say? Out loud? That line of defense doesn’t bother you in the least? Dear god it’s so cringe.

jim says:

We have been having this discussion for two thousand years and it has never gotten anywhere, except mass murder. Why continue?

For two thousand years Christianity has not taken a clear position on the topic, and every time someone pushed them to clarify, terrible evil ensued. I am not going to walk that path, which path has ended in so many deaths.

History tells us that people who take clear and humanly intelligible position on such matters, when in power, wind up doing very bad things. Usually to each other.

Every group of people with a clear and self consistent position on this topic has been a very bad group of people.

alf says:

No we have not. This discussion has never been had, which is entirely evident from the fact that I keep saying we are discussing B, but everyone is intent on discussing A.

I am not saying we should convert to Arianism. I respect the canon decided at the council of Nicaea. What I am saying is that the show must go on. You have distinguished yourself as a truth speaker. If you don’t speak the truth, you are stopping the show from going on.

jim says:

> > We have been having this discussion for two thousand years and it has never gotten anywhere, except mass murder. Why continue?

A mighty big pile of corpses begs to differ.

> I am not saying we should convert to Arianism

There are one thousand different heresies on these questions, and not only is agreeing with any one of them heresy, disagreeing with any one of these heresies too vigorously, clearly, and unambiguously makes you guilty of a dozen other opposite heresies.

The official Church position on this is “beyond mortal comprehension”. They are right.

And so is the related mind body problem, and all that.

Let us stick to game. It is hard enough to comprehend, and a great deal more useful than this stuff.

I have spoken the truth on this matter. Every mealtime, and any time there is a good sunrise or sunset, I give thanks to the lord. I had a pastor of old type Christianity marry me and my wife. And all the rest of it is just people looking for trouble, as has been painfully evident for two thousand years.

alf says:

I have spoken the truth on this matter.

You have not. Once upon a time you did, and among other things you said that the disciples likely paid off the guard in front of jesus’s tomb. But then you changed your mind, and now you are incapable of discussing a historic perspective of Jesus Christ.

jim says:

We are mighty short of perfect solutions for a fallen world.

The Trinity is what we have got.

alf says:

then gl with your Secret Based Christian Communities… You’re gonna need it.

Karl says:

Of course he is going to need his secret based Christian community. It is mighty hard raising a family without one, if you want your children to produce grandchildren.

Christianiry and marriage is illegal. So you can’t seriously ask to be shown a secret Christian community. This is similar to the namefag problem

Moreover, there is this “give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to god what belongs to god'”. Christian communties might at best be seeds for a new religion after the present holiness spiral has been stopped. They cannot provide the force to stop it

alf says:

Then I hope he has more success whispering into their ear than he has had whispering into Trump’s ear.

alf says:

Responding to this comment here for clarity…

I am not sure what you are saying. Which is, I don’t think I disagree with anything you’re saying, I’m just not sure how that is a response to what I’m saying. I guess I can address this part:

The embrace of contradiction at the heart of Christianity, when done correctly is an embrace of the contradiction between mind and matter, and, more importantly for practical alliances and choosing friends, and enemies, an embrace of the contradiction between a very brutal nature, and the considerably more kindly ethic implied by Game Theory and Evolutionary Game theory.

This seems like a personal thing to you, and if that is how you interpret how it is to be a Christian, then that sounds great and workable.

But that’s not how faith works for most people. People don’t go: ‘ah man I am glad Jesus is consubstantial and not consequential to God. Can you imagine!’ People converted to Christianity because of the story and what the story implied. It’s a primal, simple thing. A base identity that you can put on.

That story, that base identity, is gone. The story of Christ, told in 2020 AD, has a completely different impact compared to when it was told in 320 AD. We are discussing the trinity and all the politics that followed Christ, but in essence it is and always was about Christ.

If you want people to go back to that, you will have to convert them once again, because it has been mostly forgotten. But in order to do that, you shall have to convert them through the story, not the 200 IQ rational you have build up behind Christianity. And you’re not even trying to tell the story of Jesus.

I guess you expect churches and priests to tell the true story of Jesus? I think it’s dumb. I think we need to accept that we are done trusting others to get us out of this mess. Everyone cucked. Why the hell would the churches be any different. They’ll fight you tooth and nail on your interpretation of Jesus. It’s a losing battle.

Red says:

People converted to Christianity because their elites compelled them to convert. The story of Jesus isn’t a big factor in those conversions.

alf says:

Why did their elites convert? Why did the people feel like listening to their elite’s wish for conversion?

jim says:

Rome had a chronic problem with failure of elite cooperation. Constantine was looking for a cooperative elite.

Having found one, everyone wanted to convert.

But the important question that you should ask, is why was the elite he found cooperative.

alf says:

Because the story of Christ and what it implied for their lives appealed to them.

Prince Charming says:

> Implying that religion is, or ever has been, epistemic and individual

The Enlightenment has been a disaster.

alf says:

I don’t.. who are you even talking to?

Prince Charming says:

So you seriously think that doesn’t apply to you, and it’s not another “let me catch up on the New Testament real quick before I reply to your comment brb” moment? OK, let me indulge you.

Religion is not something you can choose like you choose a dessert in a patisserie. Religion is to a thinking man what the water is to the fish.

Religion is what your clan choses so that they survive. it is, like Jim says, the social technology. If religion is something you can pick and choose, then presumably your fellow can pick and choose too, and soon enough, your clan is being run by by (((communists))) to the detriment of everyone else. That’s the opposite of a social technology. The Bible has a solution to this, an obvious one that every polity that wants to survive, ever, has adopted: you can pick a foreign idol, after you leave the country. If you start just even hinting at our god not being The God, it’s stoning time.

The religion of Alf is the enlightenment heresy, the great cancer of Christendom; that’s the water you swim in, and that is why you think you cannot accept a religion that offends teh reason.

Dave says:

When it is unacceptable to change one’s faith, natural selection favors religions that promote fertility, family, and social cohesion, i.e. genetic spread. When people are free to choose their faith, natural selection favors religions that focus on recruiting new adherents, i.e. memetic spread. Why waste time raising children when you can indoctrinate someone else’s?

The memetic hare easily outruns the genetic tortoise, but ultimately loses the race when all the people still breeding are genetically immune to its proselytizing.

So to best serve your genetic interest, the rational behavior is to irrationally adhere to the faith of your ancestors. If your ancestral church has gone rainbow, as mine did, you’ll have to reconstruct its original hellfire-and-brimstone doctrine, and follow that.

Yes that is much closer to the actual debate. On the other side of the spectrum you have Romans at the end of the Roman empire arguing that they must defend Jupiter’s honor, and we all know how that worked out. Where exactly the truth lies is what I’m debating.

Prince Charming says:

@Dave

We have lived in a historically unusual time when the entryists used the Enlightenment memeplex, combined with the malaise of Christendom, and persuaded everyone in the West that the Peace of Westphalia regime and individual religious freedom / marketplace of ideas are one and the same. Now that the entry has been completed, they’re closing the hatch behind them & pulling the ladder. They have a total control over the religion of the population, as is historically normal and proper. As @Pooch points out, hard to have ancestral faith when the gubmint forces female bishops on you. Hard to breed when that’s illegal, too.

Consider the Christian churches in Eastern Europe 1950-1990, to see how spectacularly the communist state wiped the floor with them, without even really trying.

A faith that cannot or will not enforce itself within the ingroup is not gonna survive. You can wrap yourself in a pablum of feel-good Christian apologetics, but in the end, Gnon helps those who help themselves. Personally, perhaps the most important revelations of Jimianity is that a man only has one spare cheek to turn.

@R7

Starman says:

@P r i n c e C h a r m i n g

“Where’s the shill test that I asked for yesterday, faggot?”

It got deleted by Jim along with your non-response (also deleted by Jim). It was an Age of Consent RedPill on Women question.
Age of Consent:
Should the AoC be raised from 16-18 to 21-25?
[A] No, because the AoC of 16-18 is perfect.
[B] Yes, because that will prevent the Jews from pimping out young white women as prostitutes and porn actresses. The Jews are able to control white women by getting to them young, so just by waiting a few years longer before women get to have sex, we can prevent Jewish corruption from reaching the impressionable minds of college-age women.
[C] No, and in fact, there should be no AoC. Consent is opaque to a woman. Women seek to score alpha male dick from a disturbingly young age, and are apt to succeed when they grow boobs. The solution is young marriage for women, shotgun marriage, and in some cases marriage-by-abduction.
[D] Yes, because it has been scientifically established that the brain only finally stops developing around age 25 or so, and before one’s brain is fully developed, one is simply incapable of giving genuine consent to sex.
[E] Yes, the AoC is the best tool we conservative fathers currently have to protect our daughters from predatory men. The higher the AoC, the more legal power we fathers have to stop bad men from defiling our daughters and spoiling our precious princesses. In fact, since women should marry at 30 or so, the AoC should be 30.

You can answer the Pornography RedPill women question that’s on this comment thread too.

Remember, type out the whole question, type out the whole answer, not just the letter.

Prince Charming says:

@Jim I apologize for heightening your moderation load.

@R7

Thank you for the prompt. AoC is dear to my heart, so I will be a bit more verbose.

Women have little agency, little interest in higher ideals such as rule of law, and a disturbing propensity for lying without even realising they are lying. You can sort of work around it by requiring young women to be chaperoned, and one can perhaps see why you would use AoC to shift the responsibility for her sexual chastity in a modern setting where women come and go everywhere, but this leaves unaddressed the bigger problem, which is that she will only report the encounters that she at some later time regrets, and not the encounters where she crawled for miles over broken glass to meet Jeremy Meeks, leading to some very happy feelings, nor the perhaps more mundane problem of girls keeping pets (“boyfriends”) with whom they have unproductive sex until just about the time they are hitting the wall, leading to progressively worse and worse feelings, and often false rape accusations.

But that’s still a defensive frame; I personally like the mindset that women are not people in the same sense that men are people. In fact most modern males are not men either, being soyboys, NPCs, or natural slaves, but that’s an aberration. Women in their most pristine and natural form are not people, have no business trying to be people, and pretending they are hasn’t made it so.

We imagine how we would feel if we were raped; we project. Women feel very differently. We feel horribly, even as reactionaries, when we learn of our women having been raped, because we feel profound sadness that something precious was broken, and rage that it cannot be repaired. But this is misguided.

It is the consequence of pretending you have some sort of a relationship of equals with your female relatives, by blood or otherwise, or that you can be friends with women. Make-believe, no different than simping on e-girls. It fills a void left by the lack of sons, criminalisation of proper authority over one’s wife and children, lack of mannerbund wrought by the criminalisation of male spaces. Dogs are more loyal than daughters, wives are not loyal at all, mothers kill their own sons en passant to their new lover. Many such stories. To paraphrase Jim, the anger at the never-ending stream of news of women being “raped”, and raped, is a transfer of anger towards ZOG, which violently forbids us to own even one woman ourselves.

We treat cattle horribly in the current day and age, but the ancestral European attitude towards cattle and women alike is the Christian doctrine of a Good Shepherd: love, cherish, protect; when reasonable to do so kill. The words “hudband”, “husbandry”, and their definitions, somehow have escaped the red pen of the censors, and the plain understanding of their meaning obviously recommends exactly this attitude.

Tl;dr: (C) describes the Jimian position, which is the position of Deut 22:22-29. See above for thought crimes.

Orthodox Nobleman says:

While I have a different conclusion, I second this response.

Jimian Christianity is better than Progressive Christianity, but it is heretical. Believing that there are contradictions in Christianity is akin to believing there are contradictions in Progressivism. If you believe so, you are not.

In Christology, there is a distinction between nature, what it is, and person, who it is. Christ is one person with two natures. He is the Logos who existed since the beginning, he assumed a human nature, underwent death, and was resurrected. The Godhead is one nature, three persons.

Christianity is dead if one assumes that man can reason outside of God. In order for Christianity to return, men must have the humility to reject the Enlightenment and submit reason, sense and understanding to God.

If man cannot humble himself, God will be forever dead. Jim may be a reactionary on most subjects, but he is of the Enlightenment in regards to reason and philosophy. Reason submits to God, not the other way around.

jim says:

> Christ is one person with two natures.

This heresy led to the fall of Christian Egypt, and was rightly denounced.

Empirically, elites that split hairs on the divinity and humanity of Christ are apt to betray each other. By their fruits you will know them.

Orthodox Nobleman says:

Monothelitism brought down Egypt, the heresy of Christ having one will, not two wills. Will is a property of nature, and since Christ has two natures, a divine essence and a human nature, Christ has two wills. It was heresy that brought down Egypt, not Orthodox Christology.

Monothelitism is the result of confusing the person of Christ with the natures of Christ. Christology is an extension of the mystery of the Trinity.

jim says:

You are splitting hairs. The distinction between your position and the heresy that led to the destruction of Egypt is a distinction without a difference.

By and large, all the hair splitting over the nature of the Incarnation is people trying to walk as close to what is officially deemed heresy as they can without actually quite committing heresy, and when the hair splitters got power, the usual heretic stuff ensued.

Orthodox Nobleman says:

The distinction between my position and the heresy that led to the destruction of Egypt is that my position affirms the doctrine of the Incarnation as a divine mystery, while Monothelitism tries to fit the Incarnation into “rational” Pagan thought.

Nikolai says:

You realize your position is “officially deemed heresy”. Monothelitism and monophysitism were roundly condemned in the 4th and 6th ecumenical councils. Has Christianity been failing since the fifth century?

jim says:

They were splitting hairs then, to no avail.

I am not splitting hairs. Today, they are all heresies, because no one remains who understands or cares about the differences between them.

That was a debate where they tried to construct an imperceptibly fine line between heresy and orthodoxy.

And in the end, anyone who was unduly clear about the line was a heretic.

The Cominator says:

Can God square the circle?

Orthodox Nobleman says:

God cannot square the circle, just as God cannot create make 1+1=3; however, he is the predicate for asking the question.

Orthodox Nobleman says:

*”just as God cannot make 1+1=3″

someDude says:

This is not a valid question. It is an abuse of language. This is what the left does. It was already addressed in “Mere Christianity”

The Cominator says:

It was a rhetorical question, I believe that omnipotence is bound by what is logically possible.

Orthodox Nobleman says:

It is muddying the waters in regards to the idea of miracles. While God is not free to contradict his own rules, he can edit his world at will. The fool who denies the miracles of Christ points to God’s rules in doing so.

… and suppose one accepts what you say, the next issue is that the Catholic Scholastics did use a lot of reason and logic and submitted that to God, and the Palamist Orthodox said generally this is not the way, this kataphatic pagan rationalist metaphysics is not the way, you should not think that much and focus more on getting a mystical insight into God’s energies.

And then we have a problem, because when Scholastic reason and logic was applied to nature, we got science and industrial civilization and spaceships. Mysticism does not have uses outside mysticism.

Orthodox Nobleman says:

Western Christian monks started the Scientific revolution because they viewed science as a means of seeking God, which must be appreciated.

However, as St. Gregory Palamas predicted to Barlaam, applying pagan metaphysics to theology leads to atheism; as Hume conferred, if reason is certain why God?

The deification of reason in Scholasticism led to the Enlightenment, the descent of man in the Death of God, and our current predicament.

Science and the Church should remain separated. Science must stick to empirical matters, while the Church must stick to metaphysical matters. Likewise, a scientist should not contradict the Church on matters he cannot observe, and a priest should not contradict a scientist on matters he can observe.

But the Scholastics investigated metaphysical matters as they should be investigated, not by empirical experiment, but by rational logic. How else should they be? St. Gregory Palamas focused on a direct experience of God’s energies, something remarkably similar to Hindu / Buddhist meditation, which, for personal spiritual progress, I find a good thing. For monks, hermits, special people. It is not something any random average guy would do.

You don’t do doctrine by mysticism, you do doctrine by reasoning. Elite unity requires doctrinal unity which requires reasoning, so that you are not demanded to believe something that makes no sense to you.

“if reason is certain why God” is an extremely weird way to look at it, IMHO. I must admit: at this point I am not yet a believer. I am sort of a pro-Christian still-athest. But if I will ever find faith, it will be for what Kristor wrote at the Orthosphere “The universe hangs together quite logically and orderly. why?” For me the only even thinkable way to start looking into maybe a God exists above material reality is precisely reason and logic, that the universe is too reasonable and logical for to be random. So contra Hume: if reason is wrong, if things seem unreasonable and irrational and illogical, why would they have been created by God?

Orthodox Nobleman says:

The starting point of metaphysical matters is revelation, and doctrine is derived from the consensus of the church. While Saint Palamas accepts the use of reason within the church, he rejects classical foundationalism.

Being a Christian requires humility in accepting truths beyond human understanding, such as the Trinity, the Incarnation, and the Resurrection. Incorporating “rational” thought into theology leads to heresy and apostasy.

The goal of the Trinity test is to determine if the target views the Trinity as a “rational” construct or divine mystery. Cyrus of Alexandria and Stephen Colbert are both heretics in that they use “rational” thought to explain the mysteries of Christ.

> But if I will ever find faith, it will be for what Kristor wrote at the Orthosphere ‘The universe hangs together quite logically and orderly. why?’ For me the only even thinkable way to start looking into maybe a God exists above material reality is precisely reason and logic, that the universe is too reasonable and logical for to be random.

Assuming the universe is logical and orderly, which is what Richard Dawkins questions in “The Blind Watchmaker,” there is no way to bridge the gap between an orderly universe and a metaphysical “God,” much less the God of Christianity. Scholasticism led to the Enlightenment because foundationalism precludes the Logos as the origin of knowledge. The arguments themselves are non sequitur, as the starting points of the proofs do not logically necessitate the conclusions.

Orthodox Nobleman says:

> there is no way to bridge the gap between an orderly universe and a metaphysical “God,” much less the God of Christianity.

To clarify, there is no way to bridge the gap between an orderly universe and a metaphysical “God” unless we start our understanding as God being certain and the existence of reason a consequence of such.

European Mutt says:

Cucked churches are a big problem and that is also the point I am not sure can be solved, but retelling the New Testament in a 2020 context is in theory absolutely trivial. The problem is when you put it in the context it’s absolutely and brutally politically incorrect and has been for a long time.

People would see who the modern-day pharisees, modern-day Judases, modern-day Pilatuses are and that is by definition not allowed under a hostile state religion.

Catch 22 like with the elites. Supposedly can’t have a coup without elites or religion but can’t put new elites or religion in without a coup or near-total collapse.

alf says:

retelling the New Testament in a 2020 context is in theory absolutely trivial.

Not at all trivial. Everyone here just glosses over that fact. Have you tried to talk to people about how Jesus saves? Pretty sure you’d be thoroughly dissappointed.

‘Jesus walked over water’
– ‘So did Chriss Angel.
‘Jesus fought with traitors and liars’
– ‘Like we’re fighting against the corporations right?’

Pooch says:

Anybody on the right who is Christian (which is a whole lot of people) absolutely knows Judas when they see it. Pence holding the coin is a meme now. Likewise the Pharisees.

Could Theodore Shoebat take the Witches’ Test?!
Could Ken Hovind answer the Red Pill question?

Thousand Christs, thousand Judases…

European Mutt says:

Like we’re fighting against the corporations right?

Not a bad starting point. The problem is then you end up talking about corruption, the revolving door between government and business, corporations engaging in all sorts of stuff but their core business model, even tax law (“Give unto Caesar’s” and the publican), lawyers and accountants working for three bosses simultaneously (a lot of the parables for example The Tenant Farmers) etc. So it turns into Jimblog and into direct heresy against the state religion.

I have seen some churches pull a weak version of that, where they hinted that the Whore of Babylon could possibly, maybe, be related, to globohomo (I’m not actually sure*, and I don’t care, the point is they just hinted). Then the particular pastor I watched continued with lumping ‘glorification of violence’ in. That just makes them sound like conspiratards to others and fails to convince, because it’s a weaksauce version of the truth and topped off with a drop of sewage.

The truth is convincing but dangerous.

Have you tried to talk to people about how Jesus saves?

No and I’m also a quite recent convert. Ultimately thanks to Jim. I’ll get my confession out of the way because I haven’t yet:

Christ was born in Bethlehem, died in Jerusalem, and is, is from before the beginning of the world. Wholly man and and wholly God. God is three and God is one.

I see your point completely and indeed I don’t think that works. It’s a failure mode of modern Christians because they are not allowed to put Christianity in more concrete terms. To my shame, I’ve never discussed Christianity with any of the ‘Jesus Saves’ types (or ‘Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior’) because for years I’ve held the position that Christianity is useless but the Bible was a pretty useful guide to life.

But that’s the point, if you understand the Bible correctly (at least I hope I do) eventually you start believing. ‘Jesus saves’ means in my estimation that if you have understood and accepted his message and live your life according to it you will see good outcomes and (here’s the difference to Gnon) because he died on the cross he will forgive your sins, because any sin you committed despite sincerely believing the message was an honest, human error**. God has made Himself obvious to me in significant ways those last few months so I will continue to believe.

* I’ve given up trying to understand the Revelation, also because I’m not sure which interpretations are valid and which are heretical. If anyone has a good link that explains it, would be much appreciated!
** The nature side of Gnon never forgives errors but is certainly resilient to individual errors.

alf says:

Revelation is an overly dramatic but in essence correct description of the fall of the Roman empire, the persecution of christians and the dark ages that follow it. The thousand year rule by Christ is the new world promised by Christ, which indeed happened and led to the industrial revolution.

In other words, everything prophesized in the bible has come true, and the story as written thus far is kind of… finished.

Red says:

>Revelation is an overly dramatic but in essence correct description of the fall of the Roman empire, the persecution of christians and the dark ages that follow it.

Revelation should be removed from cannon. It’s a useless book that only produces bad outcomes.

alf says:

As for this part:

Genuine Christianity embraces all three contradictions as one. You cannot trust someone who elevates his morality above pragmatism,

Sure, if someone puts skin in the game, he is trustworthy. Again, I don’t disagree.

But that is not the heart of Christianity. The heart of Christianity, and I’ll just keep repeating this part, is Jesus Christ, the story of the man who died for our sins, who taught us his wisdom through his disciples, amen.

RedBible says:

I think there needs to be a slight correction to what you think the heart is and what it actually is.

The heart of Christianity is Jesus Christ, the story of GOD IN THE FLESH dying for our sins, who also taught us wisdom through his disciples, amen.

If Jesus is “just a man” then Obama and/or Trump can easily and quickly be made much holy than “mere Jesus”.

———

(Also, by Jesus dying to pay the price, it says that even God is not above the highest laws. And by knowing that God will not ultimately going to change the rules of reality, it promotes science by saying the world is learnable)

PatristicStudies says:

John did not contradict Matthew, Mark, and Luke on identifying Jesus. The early Christians understood when John called Jesus “God”, he was referencing Jesus was fully divine. Paul said the same thing, King James translators mistranslated “in him dwells the fullness of the Godhead” when really a better translation would render that “fullness of Godhood”.

In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with the God (the Father), and the Word was Divine.

Origen’s commentaries on John explicitly point this out, that “the God” was the Father, but the Word and Spirit were Eternal Divinities co-existing yet deriving their divinity from the Father, the Logos imparting divinity and reason to all lesser gods. The real contradiction was harmonizing that Christ came forth from the Father, but is uncreated. The solution at Nicaea: The Word was “begotten not made”, yet of the same substance as His Father.

Modern patristic scholars recognize the Nicene Creed wasn’t about affirming the unity of the Trinity (that would be the later pseudo-Athenasian Creed) but the Nicene Creed actually was about affirming the equal nature (not being) of the Son to the Father. Subordinationism was Christian orthodoxy up to Nicaea and affirmed by those as Nicaea including Alexander of Alexandria himself. But not long after Subordinationism fell out of favor as the unity of nature was confused and conflated to be unity of being.

God is one and God is three, because the Three Beings of God derive their Divinity from one source: the Father.

I’m starting to think Antifa instigated the premature Rubicon crossing.
Also BLM Leader was next to girl who got shot and on his own video he pursuaded cops to leave their guard at the doorway then encourages MAGA dudes to break it down. He predictably gets arrested and released with no charges.

There’s also reports now that Trump tried to send DC national guard to the capital which was refused and bowser refused to send police reinforcements.
Everything seems too convienant the way they are overplaying this now. Very False Flagy.

Red says:

Yep, Trump got played. Setup a march of the people and rolled right into the Dems trap. Trump not only suffered from normality basis, but also believed Whig history about the people being allowed to protest their government.

Pooch says:

Yup Moldbug was spot on yesterday. Only the left can protest with mass demonstration. It’s fundamentally a flawed inverted strategy to protest right against left via a mob. Cannot work. We all bought into the 1776 psyop thinking that worked for us too.

Red says:

It could have worked if Trump had had his people leading the mob(and removing antifa), and had his men with guns controlling the check points and Congress’s exit. Then use the mob as the pressure, while the men with guns kept order. That’s what the left does.

Trump didn’t understand this because he’s neither priest nor warrior. Merchants swim in a world of order without understanding what underpinnings that order.

I pointed out the other day that the March on DC could very well end up like Charlottesville 2.0 and I was right.

The Cominator says:

Epstein's Suicide Note says:

The really sad part of the ongoing VoxDay/Q/AnonCon delusions is the persistent belief that mere information could topple the whole system. Trump or Flynn or Lin Wood or mysterious other agents are always just about to publish some evidence that’s so shocking, so explosive, that the entire American public will wake up and… what exactly?

I’m pretty sure we just saw what happens when a large and militant group of Americans wakes up and decides to act. They play out the left-wing protest/demonstration script, maybe occupy a government building, and then wander around, aimless and leaderless, expecting all of the institutional machinery that accompanies a left-wing protest to kick into gear for them, which of course does not happen. That’s the power of information compelling the proles to act: a big ol’ larp.

Or maybe the explosive information is going to finally shock elites into acting. Elites like Supreme Court Justices, and… military brass, and… tech and media CEOs… who see evidence they just CAN’T IGNORE and… something. But we’ve seen how much those entities care about the truth. The whole idea behind this magic voodoo kompromat is just so stupid and absurd for any man willing to open his eyes and see how the system actually works. In a contest between truth and power, power always wins.

It’s Trump’s Taxes, but lamer.

Pooch says:

The Cominator says:

“The really sad part of the ongoing VoxDay/Q/AnonCon delusions is the persistent belief that mere information could topple the whole system”

Maybe 6 years ago if someone got a video of say a bunch of the democratic elite raping and sacrificing a little kid on video it could have.

But now with the muh deepfakes meme not even that will do it.

European Mutt says:

A lot of Qtards have this theory that Trump is the face of an ongoing military coup that has been going on since 2017. That military tribunals are coming etc.

It’s not part of the core QAnon canon though afaik. There is no evidence for it so I am not holding my breath but it is the only way this info strategy could actually work to secure power.

Qtardism undeniably worked for rallying protestors but with no power and no leader behind it, useless.

European Mutt says:

No evidence/unfalsifiable is of course why it works as a narrative/religion. Milint would probably have very good opsec in that case and not leak so it’s Schroedinger’s coup.

If no one craves their company, well, we wouldn’t want such important people to risk catching anything.

The problem with your statement is that it isn’t at all true..Vox doesn’t believe in the conversion of the evil elites or even most of the normies..He is about activating the pro-civilization radical right…After all, the commies are a small, if powerful minority as well…

Epstein's Suicide Note says:

Witness the same curious illogic being applied to VoxQ that VoxQ applies to Trump: that even if he is catastrophically wrong and repeatedly humiliated, that is not important because he has a Plan, and no matter how nonsensical the Plan may appear to be to the uninitiated, that is not important either because the Objective of the Plan is Righteous.

Given several orders of magnitude more complexity, nuance, philosophical underpinnings and historical traditions, this could be the basis of a religion, but as currently structured, it is more like the basis of a doomsday cult. If the expected outcome fails to materialize, it’s only because you didn’t believe hard enough, so just push the date out a little further and yell even louder. It’s superficially similar to how progressivism works, but without institutional backing it’s a gnat on the elephant’s butt.

Even were we to suppose that you are factually correct and that this is all part of his grand strategy and not a vain effort to save face, we just witnessed the result of “activating the pro-civilization radical right” on January 6, which turned out to be barely pro-civilization by reactionary standards and about as active as Hillary Clinton’s vajay. Those guys discovered the cheat code, really more of a glitch, used it to clip right into the final dungeon and through the boss door, and discovered… nothing. No fabled Good Ending, not even a funny message from the developers. They just didn’t plan for it, and the game just isn’t programmed that way. It turns out that you need certain quest flags to trigger that ending (Military General Recruited, Dissolution of the Monasteries, Control of the Media, Intimidation of the Judiciary, and several more) and just having the right X/Y coordinate won’t cut it. Sorry, you softlocked, please reset and play again, with 80% less cleverness and 500% better execution.

VoxDay, AC, NeonRevolt, and the rest of their gang are now frozen in the softlock, refusing to reset, stubbornly asserting: “just be patient, this is definitely the end, any moment now, it’s coming, just a little longer…” And I can’t totally blame them, for as long as the audience puts up with it, they might as well keep milking the moment.

Largely yes, but refer to Jim’s classic “Time for a Second Dissolution of the Monasteries” post for details.

lambda x says:

Our opponents have coordination, and we have not. It seems to me that the judicial response was coordinated: a message went out on JusticeNet that all judges were to deny all access, and it must have been emphasized that no one need fear having a decision vacated since no decisions would ever be made and there would be nothing to appeal.

Along the spectrum of left journalism, I am sure there are some who, in their hearts, were capable of contextualizing the Capitol demonstration in the frame of the history of left activism, and doing a compare-and-contrast; but the word has gone out that it was a demonic attack on apple pie, period, and the people who did it, along with anyone in sympathy, must be extirpated.

I do not think any of us has any standing to make fun of Vox Day. I think the topological distance between what we hoped would happen, and what he hoped would happen, is smaller than we supposed. And I think that both of those points are further from the fountain of probability than either of us thought.

What evidence is there that anyone in the military or police forces would come to Trump’s aid vs. Joe Biden if he called? I suspect Biden has many military friends that he has made in his decades-long military career. No legion.

Pooch says:

So the shill is telling us not to make fun of Qtard Vox Day who still is claiming Trump will win in the end. Is Vox controlled opposition now? I’m starting to think so.

Red says:

Vox certainly hasn’t been de-platformed like you’d expect. I think he’s more likly just suffering from Q madness, which is why the left allowed it to continue. His very successful father went to jail for a very long time because he got the idea he didn’t need to pay income taxes because “Constitution”. Vox appears just as crazy as his pops.

The other possibility his he’s just a grifter and Q-tards is his grift. I think Voxday’s game stuff was just a grift.

“the persistent belief that mere information could topple the whole system (…) that the entire American public will wake up and… what exactly?”

It would be enough if some military generals woke up – Spain, 1936. Information could topple a system if it influences men who command the loyalty a lot of warriors. A general populist uprising is clearly bullshit, but this is not.

“In a contest between truth and power, power always wins.” Power grows from the barrel of a gun, Mao was right about that. The power of civilian government rests entirely on the willing, voluntary cooperation of the military.

I mean, what you say is half right. Civilians are not ruled by ideas, they are ruled by men with guns. Getting different ideas into the heads of civilians accomplishes nothing, correct. But the men with guns are ruled by ideas. Oath to defend the Constution etc. This is where ideas could make a difference.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_Revolution#Military_defection_and_Ceau%C8%99escu's_fall

(That story is somewhat ironic, because it is pro-gun activists, who are generally the good guys in the US, who tend to talk about Romanian Revolution as look, this is what armed civilians can do. The reality is, the military defected, opened the armory to the civilians, and the civilians, like all healthy men, had years of service as conscripts, had all the training. So it was actually real – if rusty – soldiers with military weapons against Securitate agents who were mostly just (political) cops, and the only thing that was truly civilian about the revolutionary forces was their clothes.)

Pooch says:

So now Lin Wood is directing people to shoot Mike Pence. This guy is leading sheep directly to the slaughter house.

Epstein's Suicide Note says:

I view Lin Wood and some of the people in his orbit as being similar to the last wave of speculators in the very late stages of a bubble. As more and more potential buyers start to notice the overvaluation, it gets harder and harder for those speculators to offload their remaining stock, whether that “stock” is real material goods or something more abstract like social capital. Although you can rest assured that Lin Wood has not been working pro bono. In any case, in order to “sell”, they have to resort to increasingly outrageous pitches and deceptive marketing.

Lin Wood is probably neither insane nor malicious, but he bought a million shares of Trump stock just before the crash and now doesn’t know what to do with them. Those who bought their shares very early on might have more an “easy come, easy go” attitude, but for him this is a big deal, and he doesn’t want to lose his shirt.

That doesn’t excuse any of it, but I like to try to peel back the curtain whenever I can.

Pooch says:

Sounds right. How exactly is he continuing to profit by keeping up the charade?

Red says:

The left needs get some Trump supporters commit terrorists acts for their enabling act. Lin Wood is one of their agents pushing people to do it. They’ll false flag it if they have to, but it’s better if they can get real supporters to do it.

There are ultra-cynical possibilities like Red’s, and there are only somewhat cynical possibilities such as he plans to write a book or wants to pick up a lot of business from current/former Q followers, which he might need to rely on if he’s already lost his reputation among the elite.

I won’t pretend to be a mind-reader or have the inside track. I can only observe that his behavior strongly resembles the behavior of a late speculator desperate to sell. He must have his reasons, which probably seem very rational to him.

John C. Calhoun says:

You seem like a shill. Okay well then why did Trump retweet Wood’s tweets?

The funny thing is I think the so called “conservatives” who opposed Wood after the stop the speed rally exposed thenselves as the cucks and traitors they really are.

Wood simply said that loeffler and purdue ought to fight for election integrity as hard as president Trump otherwise they dont deserve Georgians’ vote. This is something neither of them really did. It was funny because if you watch the video of his speech you would know what he was saying. “Conservatives” reported that he said people should boycott the election which is totally false.

Red says:

The vote in Georgia didn’t matter because it was rigged, but the perception that naming ballot fraud is bad for you does. The Democrats above all else want anyone telling the truth that the election was rigged to be shunned and destroyed and they want to the GOP to repeat over and over again that there is no voter fraud while they steal every election going forward.

Epstein's Suicide Note says:

I’m lightly amused by the accusation and will take any shill test for further amusement, but nobody including yourself has attempted to administer one, and you haven’t even hinted at what my agenda as a shill might be. I deduce that you’re simply throwing the word out as a generic slur, as a proggy throws out “racist” or “nazi”.

Trump has retweeted a lot of silly stuff. In his twilight weeks he did little else, and now he can’t even do that. I think it might have been Ann Coulter who (back when she still loved him) pointed out that the left took him literally, but not seriously, and the right took him seriously, but not literally. You’re claiming we should have been taking his tweets both seriously and literally, which is nuts.

Personally, I think his tweets were neither literal nor serious and it was just a new juiced-up populist version of the same silly buggers routine that politicians have been rehashing for decades, and that Trump retweeting Lin Wood means about the same thing as Trump retweeting the meme video of him wrestling a dude with the CNN logo photoshopped onto his head. But if that’s a bridge too far for you, at least consider that he might have retweeted those things for the same reason he directed the MAGA Vikings to march on the capital – i.e. he wanted to get people fired up but didn’t really have a plan for what to do afterward.

Epstein's Suicide Note says:

Most women reach sexual maturity at age 12 or earlier, at which point they need to be married off as soon as possible and be made to obey their husbands, or else they turn feral, spend the rest of their lives chasing alpha dick, falsely accuse beta males of rape using a definition that resembles regret or disgust, seek out situations liable to result in actual rape, and start a series of escalating shit tests on the remaining men in their orbit which require excessively violent and criminal acts in order to pass, such as feminism and cuckoldry.

Blacks in America, with white admixture, are a full standard deviation in lower IQ than whites, which explains their underperformance in every g-loaded area relative to whites, even when given significant advantages like affirmative action. They also tend to more prone to criminal behavior, even after adjusting for IQ. Blacks in Africa are a full standard deviation lower than Blacks in America, which is why every African country became a total basket case after decolonization, no exceptions, because they were unable to maintain the technology and infrastructure that whites left behind and did stupid things like form cargo cults.

There might be some Talented Tenth (really Talented Hundredth) black people doing smart person jobs, but in any random selection of black people in elite positions, you are far more likely to find a dangerously unqualified Affirmative Action candidate, and even if you do manage to find the talented one, there are probably a dozen white people in his orbit who are more talented, assuming the company still allows white people to be employed in those roles. Black women are even worse, they do nothing but talk about their hair and complain about the mistreatment of black women.

Of course women in the workplace are fatally disruptive, and employing enough of them will eventually “feminize” the space, not consciously but through instinctive shit-testing, and drive out most or all of the competent (beta) men and destroy the organization. Women can perform decently at jobs requiring a lot of repetition and little creativity, such as clerical work, quality assurance and so on, and certain artistic and design jobs, but they still need to be managed by a man whom they perceive as alpha and who largely ignores the rules regarding sexual harassment and treats them as his personal harem.

Marriage and family is collapsing because 90% or more of the women are chasing after 10% or fewer of the men, and our current social and legal framework not only allows them to do this but tries to prevent men from interfering by owning their wives. This causes a vicious cycle, since all but the most alpha and/or criminal men become more cucked and demoralized and women increasingly perceive them as inferior, and divorce them if married or abuse them psychologically and financially if not.

The answer to R7’s multiple choice is obviously [C]. Furthermore, in a true patriarchy such as those of biblical times, porn and prostitution would be ultra-low-status professions for women and mostly unnecessary for men because every man would own a wife appropriate for his status, six to eight children and a nice plot of land for farming or running his own business, which would also serve as employment for said wife when she is not taking care of household duties.

jim says:

You pass.

I had you on moderation, because you sound like a shill, took you off it because obviously your pen name is known only to yourself, and I welcome your disagreements.

Most women do not reach sexual maturity at twelve. But starting a very very early age, they display rather different behavior to boys to the presence of non kin alpha males who have adult female pre-selection. Initially this behavior is cute, childlike, girly, and innocent, resembling adult sexuality the way that playing with dolls resembles caring for actual children. At age nine or so, frequently starts to get considerably less innocent, and is apt to resemble highly inconvenient sexual harassment of non kin alpha males with adult preselection. At age twelve or so, dad finds he has a big problem.

The usual age of marriage in the Roman Republic was twelve or so. They married them off when they started to get difficult.

Sexual maturity is capacity to bear children. They can bear children at thirteen or so, but it is difficult and stressful.

Epstein's Suicide Note says:

Aha, I assumed I was on moderation because VPN, even my very first post went to moderation. I’ll probably end up on moderation again because I don’t plan on using durable long-term pseudonyms. Not to worry, no skin off my back.

Indeed the phrase “sexual maturity” could have ambiguous meanings, and I was using it to mean that the sexual behavior of a 12-year-old girl is scarcely distinguishable from that of a 25-year-old woman – not that any 12-year-old girl could successfully bring a pregnancy to term.

In any case, if I come across as excessively negative, it’s not because I’m personally depressed and miserable but because I think Trump gave us four wonderful years in which to prepare, regardless of whether he had a concrete plan, and a lot of people got caught up in the fantasy that he was going to bring about total victory and forgot to do any preparations. There’s probably at least a few more weeks before the SHTF, maybe even a few months, but the Biden regime will make the Brezhnev regime look like competent administrators. I expect at minimum: affirmative action on steroids, gun grabs, intensification of deplatformings and corporate inquisitions, and either another lockdown or something resembling forced vaccinations. It’s gonna be real rough for anyone who fritters away the next few weeks waiting for Trump’s Big Comeback instead of making friends with the neighbors and stocking up on whatever supplies might become hard to obtain in their area.

@Epstein’s Suicide Note

Here’s a multiple choice RedPill on women question for you:

Should we make pornography illegal?
[A] Yes, because pornography is the tool of those dirty Jews who plot against the White family.
[B] No, because pornography allows us to learn about various fetishes and alternative sexual practices, and that is valuable knowledge.
[C] No, because male desire for sexual gratification is not causing society any problems. Now, we should ban gay, tranny, and cuck porn. And we should ban romance novels.
[D] No, but Child Porn with those 14 year old children should still be illegal.
[E] No, but we should require all porn actors to wear proper PPE, in order to protect the actors and actresses from venereal diseases (such as the super deadly COVID19), and to teach the viewers — who are often our own sons — to use contraceptives. Porn is spiritual poison, but it’s not realistic to ban all of it, so we should focus instead on protecting the sex workers — who are often our own daughters in college — from exploitation and bad working conditions.

Prince Charming says:

Been told to reply to this one as well, so briefly:

No, because male desire for sexual gratification is not causing society any problems. Now, we should ban gay, tranny, and cuck porn. And we should ban romance novels.

Leftoids wouldn’t be so defensive of porno if it wasn’t degenerate.Leftoids wouldn’t be so defensive of porno if it wasn’t degenerate. Prostitution is frankly far less disruptive to society than pornography (and public lewdness).

Nigger porn and other more extreme examples follow from how porn attacks the male brain.

Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

If porn can be autogynephilia by empathically ideating the woman’s perspective, then it can not be cuckoldery by doing the same with the man (or minotaur raepbeast in your japanese animes).

This is not me staking a position here of course, as much as entreating clearer thinking, so i can see more productive results from these conversations.

Lord says:

No since the other male is not you. Then you’re back into cuckoldry.

Please tell us how come Hugh Hefner ended his life watching fag porn in his home? How come Leftoids are so defensive of pornography (including shit like OnlyFans) and yet hostile to traditional prostitution? How there are so many ethnic/racial hostiles (Jews, Nigs) in it?

jim says:

Nigs are being pushed by the Cathedral – not customer demand, at least not customer demand from male heterosexuals.

But yes, watching other men nail what you cannot nail is apt to be bad for your spirit, and impair you when you are trying to hit on a girl.

As anime heroes have become more and more emasculated, for example the disturbingly effeminate Ang of Avatar, (who hung a lampshade on it in the penultimate episode – almost breaking the fourth wall by protesting the failure of the writers to give him masculinity appropriate for a hero) people who watch anime find it difficult to conceive of anyone insufficiently monstrous nailing a chick. So porn requires identification with monsters, or identification with the chick.

It is not the porn that is harming people, it is the lack of masculine role models in regular non porn. If we had porn Errol Flyn or Porn Indiana Jones banging the love interests right and left, that would probably improve people’s psyches.

Prince Charming says:

I’ve been told by HR to walk it back a little, so here goes: Maybe when we have white sharia, we can cautiously argue that perhaps dog porn should be mandatory in the reimagined sex-ed lesson (male pupils only) on “Rahab, the war booty, and why she’s asking for it”, but until sanity returns at least to the extent that marriage is decriminalised, the practical question is, should we encourage nofap, and the philosophical question, is being a coomer a bad thing, and the answers are, yes, and yes.

Re: Niggers

Blacks are the only ones who are (permitted to be) openly masculine, so of course black-on-white bestiality, where the nigger is the insert character, should absolutely be popular with the male audience, for exactly this reason. When people meme Blacked dot com on 4chan, it is because unless you swallowed both the game redpill and the rape redpill, it causes a huge cognitive dissonance.

It’s like Mehki Raine saying Billie Eilish’s name in “Bury a Friend”, on a loop.

yewotm8 says:

I have been “addicted” (not in the sense of dependence, but in the sense of finding myself reaching for irrational or disproven reasons for why I should indulge when I know I should not, and giving in to those reasons) to both porn and marijuana. The porn was much worse for my confidence around men and my ability to deal with women. The marijuana was worse for my work ethic and energy levels. I find them to equivalent in terms of overall negative effect on life. Porn is a drug like any other, and while it needn’t be banned, men should be actively discouraged from viewing it for their own sake. Especially teenagers in highschool who are surrounded by absolutely prime pussy but sit silently and watch it go by without a word every day.

Yarvin: “If anyone in the Trump administration is listening, there is exactly one useful thing you can do now. The President has exactly one unilateral power which is dangerous to the regime: the power to declassify.” https://graymirror.substack.com/p/reflections-on-the-late-election

Vox Day: “Trump is preparing to unilaterally declassify swathes of intelligence that will be so damning, it will expose the core of the Uniparty’s charade, and prove what traitors they really all are.” http://voxday.blogspot.com/2021/01/they-chose-hard-way.html

Vox Day and Yarvin are rarely on the same page, so this is interesting. The issue is, he has 10 days. If he wanted to do this, he should have done this much earlier, ideally before the election. Or is it some kind of 4D chess to have that shitstorm fly in the face of the Dem administration?

Pooch says:

Meh Yarvin said that in November. After the siege psyop no amount of “material” is going to change anything. The mask is officially off for the regime. they all know We all know we are in a one-party total state now and they don’t care which is why they’ve moved to open censorship now.

James says:

My thoughts as well. The left has shown it has tremendous power wielded through the industry. They can literally just publish the official line, and people will enforce it. Those of us who don’t believe them and don’t like them already don’t believe them and don’t like them. Declassified material isn’t going to change any minds at this point.

Anonymous 2 says:

Doesn’t seem very realistic in the current environment. If we’re taking the frame that Trump is nearly out the door, it seems far more likely such an order will, at best, be held up on a technicality and later canceled by the Biden regime. Not to mention the blowback from the deep state even if nothing gets done, etc etc. In the conventional system, Trump is from what we have seen the lamest of lame ducks.

Obake says:

I am actually not counting anything out until Jan 20. There is too much shit flying right now. I will say, Trump had everything he needed to pull the trigger and all the tools that any dictator would dream of and he did not act. He really lacked the will to use the resources at his disposal, maybe it’s also due to isolation and being an army of one without backing. There is some really really strange stuff in the works in the background though, so I can’t honestly count him out due to fog of war. Being in this spot at this point is kind of horrible and pointless, letting it all fall apart to put it back together? To your point. I don’t think the Cathedral will let him pull the trigger on declassification if they think he is on the way out. Trump is loyal to Trump and his family. I don’t think he has the motivation to fight the bigger enemies. I actually soured on him a long time ago. I can’t recognize this country anymore or the people in it. I have gone coast to coast by car five times this past year through this Covidhoax and it’s been a trip seeing things unfold. It’s at the worst now and I put a lot of the blame on Trump for failing to push back on the lie and giving Fauci and Birx way to much power. So even if he prevailed he owns this nonsense with his authorization of the state of emergency that gave Demshevik governors dictatorial powers. He also let 37 cities burn in the rigger riots but tried to use the National Guard against us. So whatever. I’m over Trump. If the Antiwhites want to burn the country to the ground they can fight the Demented Pedophile’s regime for the right to rule over the ashes.

~loclun-midwyt says:

I haven’t bothered watching Bannon’s show in a while, but I did see a small amount of it a day ago.

Rudy Giuliani is saying that when he started working on this case he knew there was a chance that a different administration would be coming in, and he would be going to jail.

Did anyone else see this? I didn’t see the full context, but it would indicate he, and likely Trump, aren’t suffering from as much normality bias as we thought.

Red says:

Being open to the possibility is different from dealing with the realities at hand. I was aware that Joe Biden was probably going to try and take all our guns away, but the reality that I need to do something about it just hit me, because I have normality basis on the subject. If I’d taken the idea seriously, I would have done something more concrete about it months ago.

alf says:

I realize I’m slowly overstaying my welcome, but since I’m not likely to come back might as well push this all the way to the end.

So, what have we learned.

Jim thinks the trinity is the heart of Christianity.
I think the story of Christ is the heart of Christianity.

The trinity is a pledge of loyalty, thus can be extended forever. The story of Christ is a memeplex, thus can not be extended forever. Therefore, Jim says we can return to old-type Christianity, I say we cannot.

Because Jim dedicates to his trinity pledge of loyalty, he is unable to speak the truth on the story of Christ. I push this advantage and ridicule him for mUh uNfALsibIlItY. The ‘you can’t disprove the miracles’ is just stupidly low standard arguing.

Jim in return accuses me of not having a plan, and also accuses my plan of causing many corpses, because apparently my plan has been tried multiple times in history and caused many corpses.

The second accusation is silly and indicative of Jim not understanding my argument, because the closest real-life version my plan is based on Jesus himself, as he related to Judaism. If my plan causes many corpses, so did Jesus.

The first accusation is valid. I don’t have a fully worked-out plan because I don’t believe it is possible to have one. It shall have to develop naturally, organically, just like Christianity did. And we shall have to trust that that will happen, that we are continuing the will of God. That is my leap of faith.

We can only do that by speaking open, by discussing the truth, starting with Jesus and continuing from there. If there is one man I could imagine pulling it off, it is Jim. But in order to do that, Jim must find a way to feel comfortable in that role. He seems not to be able to find comfort in that role, like Trump did not find comfort in the role Jim assigned to him. So at the end of the day, that seems to be the end of it and I have at least tried.

jim says:

> Jim thinks the trinity is the heart of Christianity.
> I think the story of Christ is the heart of Christianity.

The trinity test is strangely effective in excluding entryists, and if the Anglican Church had continued to enforce it, the old regime would have survived a lot longer, likely to the present, according to the historian JC Clark, “English society, 1688-1832 : ideology, social structure, and political practice during the ancien regime”

Do you have an equivalent?

Pretty sure the “I love Jesus” crowd of sodomites and demon worshippers would pass with flying colors.

You are ahistorical. This stuff has played out over and over again. We are walking over ground that has been trodden over times without number.

A Republic requires a virtuous elite. We don’t have a virtuous elite. Kings or tyrants will return, and I would rather Kings.

And if Kings are going to return, they will return under the banner of the cross, which means we will face all these very old fights all over again.

Relaxing on trinitarianism led to the end of ancien regime in England. And relaxing on trinitarianism would result in my blog being overrun by “I love Jesus” demon worshipping sodomites.

Oliver Cromwell says:

Christianity as a meme is dead. No one truly believes it. People might rally around it as a coordination point, but it’s not obviously stronger than other possibilities.

The Bible contains much truth, but also much falsehood. I guess if you wanted to repurpose any part of it to ground a new religion it would be the Old Testament. But read without the Christ goggles on, the Old Testament is plainly the national story of an alien and hostile nation.

The 18th century English failed to keep their national church because defending the national church devolved on defending ideological bullshit, a weak position.

onyomi says:

A slightly tangential concern I have about any version of Christianity as the new, reactionary faith:

I found Larry Siedentop’s “Inventing the Individual” quite illuminating wrt some aspects of religion and social organization, in particular, he traces the origins of Western liberalism (in his view a good thing) to Christianity, monasticism, etc.

The key insight for me: when clans are the supreme unit of coordination you have clan gods/lares and penates, when cities become the supreme unit of coordination you get city gods, when you get Pan-Hellenism you get the pantheon, and when you get universalist empire, you get “all men are brothers/everything contains Buddha nature” universalist religions.

As a universalist religion, the Western analogue of Ashoka’s Buddhism, I just doubt whether Christianity is fundamentally compatible with a new identitarian/nationalist movement, be the unit of organization “white people,” “Germans,” or what have you. It seems like if we want our highest level of organization to be e.g. “white Americans” then we need a white American god (or similar highest ideal), not a universalist god?

Of course, there is an extent to which Christianity has come to be viewed as the de facto white people ethno-religion in the West, which is why you get “happy holidays,” Kwanzaa, etc. but given how utterly pozzed so many Christians seem to be today what with its pretty central ethos of self-sacrifice, I have to admit some skepticism of re-embracing it for those reasons as well.

Pseudo-chrysostom says:

There is no explicit barrier to two men to both be observing the ways of God, and both also be different parties in a competition; indeed, it can even be well for them to compete; the greater import is so oft the *nature* of competition, in what ways they compete, who they are competing against in what ways first.

Read James C. Russel’s The Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity. Basically to convert warlike and clannish Germanic warlords, whose worldview was the literal 100% opposite of the Sermon on the Mount, Christianity had to change.

So the idea would be to return to Germanized Christianity. Now, the de-Germanization started with the Reformation. But interestingly, Protestants did not become self-sacrificing pozzed people, largely because they focused on the Old Testament, so they could still be nationalist and warlike.

But later on it happened. Nietzsche hated Christianity because what he could see around him in Germany is Lutherans and probably the Catholics too going all Sermon on the Mount. Self-sacrifice etc.

People taking the Sermon on the Mount seriously and focusing on that gonna become something like liberals. In this sense, I don’t know how strictly Biblical a return to Germanized Christianity can be. At least some parts of the Bible need to be de-emphasized.

Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

Obviously the solution there is to make the heliand edition the official bible of anglo-saxon peoples.

suones says:

A much better solution is to declare yourself neo-Arminian and come back home to your ancestors and the Allfather. Abandon Semitic mindworms.

suones says:

You mean they really wanted to be lke Jews but that was impossible so they invented some retarded justification to enable “Gentiles” to become more like “Jews?” This is ridiculous.

Chrestos was a Jewish community organiser whose cult got blown way out of proportion due to Constantine’s adoption (to undercut his own nobility). Germans, perceiving themselves inferior to Rome, invented their own form of Chrestian cult, with less poz than the Roman version.

They wanted to think about themselves like *Old Testament* Jews, which is entirely different from modern Jews.

Oliver Cromwell says:

The New England Puritans (whom Moldbug wrongly blames for everything) just decided they were Israel with English Characteristics. Why not? Apparently it worked pretty well.

The Quakers were the guys who really believed in Jesus.

The Trinity is a good meme because it selected out people who take Jesus, and the NT in general, all that seriously. It’s a bad meme because it also selects out logical autists who are not seditious, such as Sir Isaac Newton.

Aidan MacLear says:

One thing very important to Germanic Christianity was the idea of the rise and fall of civilization. Youd think they’d love the Old Testament, but they did not focus on it so much, because of the fall of Judea and the fall of Rome. The idea that no civilization lasts forever is sobering and is present in their thought from Beowulf to Malory.

Later, the gnostic tendency won out, and men focused on the perfect law and the perfect state, neglecting and acting against good government in the process. The focus on the eternity of the next world was transfixed onto the eternity of this one, which is why you have the disgusting affair of the medieval popes fucking with perfectly good Christian kings in order to immantize the universal papal state.

James says:

Interestingly, the Book of Mormon is almost entirely about the rise and fall of civilizations in proportion to how fervently they adhere to God’s commandments.

It describes two sibling civilizations, one White and one Mesoamerican, with the White originally being righteous, and the Mesoamerican being wicked. Over time, decadence and arrogance take over the White civilization and they turn against God. Meanwhile, at least some of the Mesoamerican become righteous. Then there’s calamity in the white civilization as they turn away from God, but they largely repent and consolidate. After some time, they fall to decadence again, this time for real, and get ethnically cleansed by the wicked.

It also deemphasizes, or at least provides official less-pozzed interpretations of, the NT.

However, the mainstream church has been slowly normalizing to Respectably Pozzed Christianity. They have such great material to work with, but by and large lack the will to win.

The Cominator says:

“It describes two sibling civilizations, one White and one Mesoamerican, with the White originally being righteous, and the Mesoamerican being wicked.

You mean Dual Seedline Christian Identity without Jesus, that is, instead of Black Hebrew Israelites, you start up White Hebrew Israelites?!

“Members of a black supremacist group known as The House of Israel set off the confrontation in Washington, D.C. last week that created a national media firestorm. Many in the media, however, were all too anxious to blame the clash on white Catholic high school students from Kentucky who were in the nation’s capital to participate peacefully in the annual March for Life. The media vultures pounced on an out-of-context video clip that appeared to show the students disrespecting a Native American elder very nearby who had approached them while chanting and beating on a drum. Once a longer video emerged, however, it was clear that the black supremacists who were in the same vicinity, not the Catholic students, were the culprits. The members of The House of Israel, part of a broader movement of Black Israelites, were captured on the video insulting Native Americans as “savages” as long as they continued worshipping idols, and then insulting women who dared to argue with these self-described “real men.” After observing students from the Covington Catholic high school standing nearby, the Black Hebrew Israelites hurled vicious homophobic, racist and anti-Catholic insults at them.”

alf says:

> the trinity test is strangely effective.

I of course immediately searched for my favorite poster boy, stephen colbert. Did you know he used fidget spinners to explain the trinity to children?

“The prongs of the spinner are the son, the father and the holy ghost. When you spin the fidget, they become one.”

Seems to me like Colbert passes the trinity test with flying colors.

> do you have an equivalent?

Aren’t we making up equivalents as we go? The red pill women test is great. The Trump test was pretty good while it lasted. If people are feeling ballsy outside this place, what about the ‘acknowledge Jim’s existence test?’ I dunno, these things just develop naturally as time goes by. Gotta trust people to come up with them. Pretty sure Jesus never intended the trinity to be used as a test, but that’s just the way things worked out.

> you are ahistorical. This thing has played out over and over again.

History rhymes, but does not repeat. History shows mankind’s civilisations are not static. Some of the fundamentals are the same, but other stuff changes. We are not stuck in the same loop.

> I’m not relaxing on trinitarianism.

I’m not asking you too. Or, I sort of am, but the point is mute. It’s like Morpheus said to Neo:
‘are you telling me I can dodge bullets?’
– ‘I’m telling you that once you understand, you won’t have to.’

Atavistic Morality says:

Actually that’s not exactly true, because we are in fact stuck in the same loop: humans are stuck in the same mental loops. Civilizations are not static because the physical world is entropic, but that is the only true variable, the human mind is stuck with the same software and humans always seems to try to arrange the entropy of the physical world around those exactly same loops. The lunacy is always repeated, the delusion is always the same. Thus, the physical details change, but the mental reasons for the fall of civilizations are always exactly the same.

alf says:

Black pill mindset.

For which I honestly have some sympathy. Spandrell is the king of the black pill, and spandrell has said some good stuff. But overall I am glad I do not share that mindset, and I find solace in the fact that men like Jesus, Darwin and Elon Musk do not share that mindset either.

Starman says:

Praise the Holy StarProphet Elon Musk! Peace Be Upon Him.

Red says:

Elon’s in a desperate rush to get to Mars before we fall into a new dark age. We’re very unlikely to pull ourselves out of a dark this time around. We’ve consumed all the easily acquired resources and are unlikely to have the tech necessary to extract the sort of resources we’re currently exploiting and without those resources the necessary tech will not be obtainable.

James says:

It’s not exactly a blackpill, because we have also seen great civilizations rise out of collapse. There is hope for civilization (Albeit, to me, an alien and grotesque one) in China. There is some hope for a more palatable civilization springing out of the former soviet union.

Even Australia, with its genetic base of convicts, military officers, and rich Asians, has its own sort of hope at producing a kind of reverse-Singapore racial hierarchy where whites are permitted to live good, patriarchal lives as peasants under Chinese hegemony.

It bodes well for a mulatto Catholic America, as well as a Mestizo Mormon America.

It’s really only a blackpill if you’re thoroughly yankee and want to stay that way. I think that given recent events, it’s fairly clearly that we Anglo-Americans are done, at least as a coherent group, as if that weren’t on the wall already. I’d suggest joining a different patriarchy and looting this one as best you can before it finishes coming apart at the seams.

“It’s really only a blackpill if you’re thoroughly yankee and want to stay that way.”

It is also a blackpill if you are thoroughly European and want to stay that way. In a way, like yankees, but no guns and less testorone. So only worse.

James says:

If you’re lower T than a typical Northeast Yankee, you deserve to be denigrated to the dustbin of history. Dixies and rednecks will thrive. Slavs, despite their numbers experience a dip, are resurging. Even significant portions of woodsy North Germanic types are coming back. What we’re seeing is the decline of the Pacificied European. The decline in white population is concentrated almost entirely in leftists of one form or another, whereas the rightmost portions of the European population are growing to represent a higher and higher proportion of the overall-shrinking (for now) European population.

I chose the word “yankee” for a reason. Because it’s only the people who fell for the various cons derived from puritanism that are dying out. The rest of us are doing fine, even if we’re putting up with a few parasites attaching themselves to us for the time being.

Pooch says:

Dixies and rednecks will thrive.

Are you in the South? I am considering moving to a Southern state. The thing that sticks out is the sheer amount of blacks in just about every former Confederate state. White % is pretty darn close to 50% in a lot of them. Does that concern you at all? Do the Southern blacks have a different temperament than the northern urban blacks in the yankee states?

Atavistic Morality says:

Calling this a black pill is like calling the acknowledgement of the nature of female sexuality a black pill. It is not, the black pill comes with the way you think about it.

Elon Musk has pointed out Twelve against the odds as his favorite or one of his favorite books from which he draws a lot of inspiration, he is fully aware of what I’m pointing out because that book talks about the “loops” of adventurers. He has also talked about the theory of living in a simulated existence, so that seals the deal. It is how he decides to take that and what he decides to do about it or despite it that makes him who he is. And Elon Musk is not set in “saving civilization” with your new religion of choice or anything of the sort anyway, he just wants his Mars colony, you could actually claim he is creating a very effective escape button to avoid the situation.

Jesus knew human nature, described human nature and worked with people, which is why he was successful in his endeavor. And I don’t know what Darwin has to do with the subject, unless you’re talking about “evolving” out of the loop, but I don’t think it applies.

The reason why Jim is pretty accurate with his predictions and analysis is because he acknowledges the issue and addresses it every time. In truth, this is the core of the development of NRx as a political theory, Moldbug always, always, always addressed the issue, every one of his articles included a more thorough history lesson that a history major class in college.

If you want to argue about the way you wish to develop your new choice of religion I believe you would obviously need to address the issue properly. But I’m not trying to pile on you or take sides since to be honest I don’t care about the conversation as a whole.

alf says:

On a large enough timescale, it is impossible for the human mind to be stuck with the same software. Hence Darwin’s theory of evolution, Elon Musk’s (perhaps unintended) death of Shaniqua through spacetravel, and Jesus’ promise of the new world in the NT.

Of course I have learned today that Jesus’ promise of the new world has retroactively been interpreted to have always been part of the old world, in order to stop entryists from adding evermore new worlds to the canon. If that is true, and I am inclined to believe Jim that it is true, we are in an interesting position. I dunno. Have to think about it. Feels a bit like we have painted ourselves into a corner.

jim says:

> > you are ahistorical. This thing has played out over and over again.

> History rhymes, but does not repeat.

It has been rhyming on the Trinity for near two millennia. Maybe that rhyme is over now, but the odd effectiveness of the Trinitarian test would suggest it still going.

alf says:

I have presented my poster boy argument of an entryist passing the trinitarian test here. If Stephen Colbert can pass the trinitarian test, not so effective.

jim says:

Search him to see if he can say “Jesus Christ”.

And even if he can, so could the Socinians. Chances are he is a Socinian. And the Socinians were, and are, enemies, enemies who would have been rooted out by my test, and by the equivalent test in the Anglican Church’s thirty nine articles had they stuck to their guns on applying it.

jim says:

> “The prongs of the spinner are the son, the father and the holy ghost. When you spin the fidget, they become one.”

> Seems to me like Colbert passes the trinity test with flying colors.

If he passes “God is Three and God is one”, likely passes the rest of it, some hostile entryist Christians actually are Christians, but most of them, the vast majority, fail. Is he able to say “Jesus Christ” respectfully?

The Socinians could pass the “Jesus Christ” test, and could pass “the God is Three and God is one” test, but they could not pass the “born in Bethlehem, died in Jerusalem, and is, is from before the beginning of the world” test, and they are the ones that ended the Ancien Regime in England.

alf says:

Stephen Colbert is a megaphone for the Cathedral. If he successfully passes the trinity test, many can.

I have done some more cursory searching, see this bit on Colbert’s faith. Dude takes the trinity serious. I see no reason why he wouldn’t and in fact has passed all of these tests you present.

jim says:

The Trinity test has three prongs, and the Socinians, our greatest enemies two centuries ago, powerful enemies for seven centuries, and still a powerful enemy, could pass two of them. How does Stephen Colbert on the other two prongs?

alf says:

Ok, so the tests are:
– God is one and God is three.
– Refer to Jesus Christ our Lord and savior respectfully.
– born in Bethlehem, died in Jerusalem, and is, is from before the beginning of the world

Colbert gets at least one out of three. I shall see if I can find what he does with the other two.

jim says:

If he is a Socinian, believes that Christ was not present in the world before his birth. As an atheist who thinks that Christianity is good for society, you don’t care about this question, but Socinians care about it a lot.

It is linked to the issue of an ever better and ever improving morality. If Christ is present from before the world begun, then the spirit of the law has not changed, and is manifest in the natural order – or as the red pilled and darkly enlightened say, manifest in Game Theory and Evolutionary Game Theory. And as Christian red pilled and darkly enlightened say, the Logos.

If Christ is new, and an improvement on morality, then Socinians can improve it further. Or as their atheist equivalents among the progressives say “The arc of history bends towards justice.” The Socinian God keeps rewriting moral rules, the latest being that nine year old boys should be encouraged to wear makeup and dresses.

So they don’t worship a Christ who reminded the Jews that they had abandoned the spirit of the law in the name of the letter of the law. They worship a new Christ who brought a new law, and goes right on doing so.

alf says:

Not an atheist.

The verdict on Colbert:
– God is one and God is three. Colbert creatively uses fidget spinners to explain the trinity. He passes.

– Refer to Jesus Christ our Lord and savior respectfully. Here, in an interview with Anderson Cooper of all places, Colbert explicitly mentions and thanks Jesus. He says Jesus’s sacrifice helped him accept the hardships in his own life, namely losing his father and brothers at early age. He passes.

– born in Bethlehem, died in Jerusalem, and is, is from before the beginning of the world. It is hard to find Colbert’ speak explicitly on the origin of Jesus, but in the context of your explanation my spider senses tingle, for instance here. Colbert agrees-and-amplifies a Southern Baptist who derides unitarians as a cult. ‘Yes’, says Colbert, ‘the Unitarians are incredibly dangerous, with all their talk of being yourself.’ I read the Unitarians are the descendants of the Arianists and the Socinians, so exactly the heresy you as a Trinitarian rail against, and indeed Colbert’s argument is that loosening up the rules ain’t so bad. So OK. He fails.

jim says:

> Colbert explicitly mentions and thanks Jesus. He says Jesus’s sacrifice helped him accept the hardships in his own life, namely losing his father and brothers at early age.

He fails. Demon worshippers and Gnostics can and regularly do say “I love Jesus” all day long, but cannot say the name of Christ.

Which was the edge that Socinians had over the Gnostics. They could say the name of Christ, and thus were better able to engage in entryism against Christianity, but when put on the spot as to who Christ was, it turned out that they were talking about a very different Christ to the one Christians have in mind.

I smell Socinianism, a Christ who has lately issued an edict that little boys should be encouraged to wear makeup and dresses.

If he can say the name of Christ, which I doubt, his Christ was born in Bethlehem, but, because ever improving moral standards, had no existence before then.

alf says:

It is hard to test without asking him directly. I interpret the second test to mean: ‘do you follow the real Christ, or a demonic interpretatin of Christ?’

If a demonic interpretation, either impossible to say Christ’s name with respect or one will lie about what Christ said. Colbert says Christ’s name with respect, but never says his full name, and does not refer to it often. So unclear.

But if he lies about what Christ said, he does not respect Christ. Let’s take this one: Colbert says Christ did not condemn gay marriage.

Technically, true. The idea of gay marriage would’ve likely been so insane to Jesus that he did not see the need to state the obvious. But did Jesus (and I mean jesus, not Paul) assert that homosexuality is a sin? I recall Jesus asserting the validity of Moses’ law on forbidden sex, and if so I will judge Colbert as having failed the second test. But I cannot find the passage.

alf says:

Also, what is the function of the first test?

Test 2 – do you respect Christ
Test 3 – do you respect the eternity of Christ

Test 1 – do you respect the authority of the gospels? Which is to say, all the gospels, and not just selective parts of it.

At the ten minute mark, seems relevant for the second test.
‘I contemplate the figure of Christ.’

‘I am deeply moved by the passion… And his… Sacrifice… His Self surrender through his love. I get choked up conceiving of the crucification or his sense of betrayal.’

Does he pass? Not sure. There is something sketchy about the way he talks about Christ. But on the surface he seems to refer to Jesus Christ very respectfully, to the point of choking up.

jim says:

Has Stephen Colbert passed all three prongs of the test? You have quoted him passing “God is Three and God is one”. Quote him passing the other two. Chances are he is a Socinian passing as a Christian in order to destroy Christianity from within.

Now that Christianity no longer has a nice applecart to knock over, there are fewer Socinians about, but Stephen Colbert sounds like a Socinian to me. “I am holier than thou – and I am a Christian too. My Christianity is different from yours, and holier” That is the familiar Socinian line. They are not holy, not Christian, and the trinitarian test weeds them out.

When we see an enemy passing as a Christian in order to destroy Christianity from within, he is usually a Socinian. There are still a lot of them about, though fewer now that there are far less attractive apples on Christianity’s applecart.

Socinianism is still a dangerous and powerful enemy entryist religion, in part because they have better internal cohesion than the commies, though these days Frankfurt School commies, cultural Marxists, matter far more.

The fake anti semite Nazis (who are mostly on Soros’ payroll) cannot pass the woman question test, and the fake Christians cannot pass the Trinitarian test.

jim says:

I don’t allow anyone to post from the frame that he is Christian and a follower of Christ unless he will affirm that Christ was born in Bethlehem, died in Jerusalem, and is, is from before the beginning of the world. Wholly man and and wholly God. God is three and God is one.

clovis says:

Why do you stop with “died in Jerusalem,” and don’t continue with the rest of the Apostles’ Creed–rose from the dead the third day, ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of the Father, will come again to judge the living and the dead?

I think “rose bodily from the dead” will weed out many fake Christians and “will judge the living and the dead” even more.

jim says:

Because it was the Socinians that ended the Ancien regime in England.

The creed is a collection of antibodies against entryist antigens. As you keep being attacked by new hostile entryists, you have to keep changing your immune system.

You don’t worry about keeping out individuals who have this issue or that issue.

You worry about keeping out organized factions who are trying to take over in order to knock over the applecart and grab some apples – and you worry about organized factions who are organizing around some heresy, hostile churches within a Church, like William Wilberforce’s brotherhood of saints.

No one is organizing around “no judgment, everyone gets saved”

Atavisionary says:

This argument seems really autistic (not taking sides). Maybe political stability is the distractions put in front of the priests along the way. Doesn’t really matter what it is as long as they are doing something other than getting people worked up over differences in doctrine. Making them grow peas seemed to work out pretty well.

alf says:

Not following. What argument are you responding to?

Atavistic Morality says:

NRx and the Dissident Right are all hyper autistic, so what’s the point of devaluing a conversation based on this? Alf believes that Jim’s doctrine isn’t convincing enough these days to achieve what you point out, hence the discussion.

f6187 says:

Contradiction? Is the Holy Trinity, or even matter versus mind, really so severe as to warrant the term “contradiction?” Contradiction is saying one thing, and saying another which invalidates the first thing you said.

The much-vaunted “wave versus particle” duality, or paradox, or contradiction if you will, is simply a case of observing two distinct aspects of the same underlying reality.

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are a great deal more than mere “aspects” of the same God, because each is a fully distinct Person. However, they are so entwined in mutual recursion — to use a coarse functional analogy — that they nevertheless constitute a single eternal God.

Having faith as a little child is understanding the optionality of God’s creation. Jesus said that we shall know the truth, and the truth shall set us free, and that if we ask, we shall receive. And if that wasn’t enough, he stands at the door knocking, and if we just answer the call, we can sit down and have supper with Truth itself. Truth, which can never be pinned down mathematically but we can know it when we see it. Yes we see through a glass darkly, but that’s life in the big city and don’t let it get you down because that’s a sin.

We do not passively float on the current of God’s will, but we align ourselves with his will and we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. For the Bible tells me so and I don’t give a runny shit what the Wikipedia editors say.

We do what is at hand using our God-given physical and mental wits, but we are not paralyzed by the hyper-rational quest for certitude. We are innocent as doves and wise as serpents. We have the intelligence and confidence to seize the angelic options with high upside and low downside, and reject the demonic options with low upside and high downside. (Borrowing from Taleb here.)

We know damn well we will make painful mistakes, but God assures us that we are not damned thereby. God loves us, and took great pains to become a human being and suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, shedding His own blood right when he was good and ready, ending the ritual sacrifice of lambs and oxen. He does not want us wandering down stupid paths of self-destruction, and he does not want us permanently bound by our previous failures.

Here, He says, you have been weighed in the balance and found wanting, but I have cleverly tipped the scales in your favor without violating justice. Yes people are evil but the good news is that does not include you, so stop moping and start living as the gods that you are. I will say well done my good and faithful servant, and Mine is the only opinion that counts.

Red says:

January 6th was the America Reichstag Fire. Techno-Fancasts are purging the nets of all dissidents, and once fully in power the state will be unleased against every Trump voter and supporter. Guns will be confiscated, parents are being denounced by their children, and and Democrats blame whiteness for it. Purges and public struggle sessions will follow shortly after the enabling act.

I’d thought they would move more slowly, but this is bankruptcy type situation, slowly at first, then all at once.

Pooch says:

I fear we will see Breviek incidents from the proles which will only allow for escalated persecution.

The Cominator says:

What Saint Brevik did caused Norway to go to the right compared to Sweden…

The problem with most Brevik incidents is they aren’t as successful and don’t give the ruling class real fear. Brevik’s attack was so successful it caused real fear.

But you need to be an unusually capable and determined man to execute what Brevik did, very very few should even consider attempting it.

Red says:

I doubt Brevik would be successful with the fractured elites we have. They’d just see it as opportunity. And to pull something like that off requires an insane amount of competence, commitment, and planning, which is why it has not been repeated.

The Cominator says:

Yes Brevik did it right but very few people could do what he did, and any attacks of a lesser degree of success and which do not limit themselves to members of the ruling class are counterproductive.

Red says:

The left is pushing for terrorist attacks from Trump supporters. They’ve made the claim that all Trump supporters are terrorists and now they need it to come true.

Pooch says:

Exactly. I agree with Moldbug here that playing right into their narrative can’t possibly give us any desirable result.

Red says:

It’s really a lose/lose type situation. Letting them walk all over you will result in ever escalating demeaning and damaging behavior towards you, while fighting back is adept to lead to the maximin of violence level all at once, unless everyone else fights back at the same time. Without a leader to coordinate, it’s just disaster.

Cloudswrest says:

Re: Christianity, Trinity, angels on the head of a pin, and visible leprechauns.

I’ve been following this conversation somewhat and I gather it is in regard to entryists who claim to be Christian. But a lot of reactionaries aren’t Christian, or at least don’t believe in Christianity epistemologically, but perhaps do morally, or even for pragmatic reasons (i.e. “I think Christianity is bullshit, but I also think it’s good for society.”)

I think a more apropos shibboleth in our modern times would be something along the lines of, “Do you believe in physical/biological racial equality?” A similar question regarding sexual equality also applies. There’s only one, correct, one word answer to this. The wrong one word answer, or any answer with more than one word, would disqualify the entryist.

Here’s Revilo Oliver on Christianity. http://heretical.com/miscella/oliver1.html

jim says:

Obviously we include “Christianity is good for society” Atheists. Alf suspects I am one of them, and he is not entirely wrong. Not entirely right either.

But we need to exclude “My Christianity is better than yours” demon worshippers, and the trinity test gets most of them.

Yes, the woman question test is more important for detecting enemies, and I should also use the race test.

I usually use the women question test, since a lot of entryists are openly atheists or Jews.

But a lot of entryists use the frame “Hail fellow Christian”, and the trinitarian test sends most of them packing.

You are right that we should not exclude non Christians. We should cohere around the woman question and race tests, not the Christianity test.

But a lot of our enemies are cohering around enemy demon worshipping religions that claim to be Christian, more Christian than thou. We should not exclude Mormons, but we should exclude entryists to Christianity.

qwerty says:

What is the race test?

The Cominator says:

One problem I have with the trinatarian test…

I know disputes over it are useless but your more intelligent christians can (as Newton did) find the Arian explanation or some kind of semi unitarian explanation (I would stay away from full unitarians because totally pozzed) more compelling.

Wholely man and wholely god seems a contradiction because it is.

clovis says:

Pious deniers of the Trinity, like John Milton, are the very definition of “holier than God.” To use Blake’s line about Milton, they are “of the devil’s party without knowing it.” They are also by definition not Christian. In what sense is a person Christian who denies Jesus is God? Unitarianism is the religion of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Harvard. It’s the father of globohomo. It’s what happens to Puritanism when it ceases to believe in original sin and the atonement.

clovis says:

Anyway we’ll have more time to discuss theology in the FEMA camps.

bomag says:

Amen.

“Wholely man and wholely god seems a contradiction because it is.”

That is the point. It sort of compels one to admit the heart of the mystery is something not comprehensible to human logic. Hence, it is basically a “not even wrong” declaration of loyalty. A flag.

Red says:

Do the left have an alliance with the Mormon church or are the Mormon sucking up to power?

Red says:

Does*

Pooch says:

I don’t think so. Mormons voted heavily Trump I believe. Romney seems like an leftist entryist into Mormonism.

James says:

I’m fascinated with the Mormons and have even considered joining them. I’ll try to answer this as best as I can.

The Mormons are difficult to pin down if you view them as participants in American politics, because they…really aren’t. They’ve been a semi-autonomous theocracy since their inception. They have adopted a strategy of appeasement towards whoever is in power, but they will also grab whatever patriarchal authority they can wherever they can get it, within the limits of the conservatism of their generation of elders in their seats of power.

They do suck up to power, but they tend to do only what is necessary to keep them alive. For instance, they gave up polygamy in the 11th hour, because they sensed they could no longer get away with it. They let blacks get the priesthood as soon as not doing so would have branded them as too far outside the mainstream to stay above-ground.

Similarly, in this cycle, they’ll hate on Trump and spit on his grave as soon as it is required of them. Perhaps a bit sooner in Trump’s case, but not much.

The crux of it is, they’ve always been outsiders, but rather than confront power with their outsider status, they’ll simply do what appeasement they need to, and get back to living in their patriarchal family units.

Romney is a complicated figure to the Mormons, and the rank and file Mormons, from what I can tell, don’t particularly like him, but because he’s a good Mormon, they will back him against non-Mormons.

Red says:

The thing I seem with Mormons is a complete lack of martial ability. They’re basically Christen Jews in their behavior to outside groups. I don’t think they’ll be effective as things break down. On the other hand they do seem to still have a functioning cohesive religion, which is useful in warfare.

Leon says:

Christian Jews is a helluva a good way to put it. A lot of what passes for Protestants nowadays are the same way. They get married, have kids, get good jobs, have a lot of shit. Unlike the Mormons though they don’t seem to necessarily be true believers. They will throw whatever leader rocks the boat too much under the bridge. No martial ability either, some of them are complete cowards. The only Protestants who seem to have balls nowadays are really old school traditionalists and converts. Everybody else preaches “empathy” above all or tries to treat the church like a business. When shit hits the fan a lot of those dudes are going to be less than worthless.

lambda x says:

The most important thing about Mormons is that they raise Mormon kids

James says:

100%. An early quote from a Mormon church leader was something along the lines of, “Mormonism would have been impossible in any land but America”, in the context of a conversation about America coming into being, essentially, by the will of God to create a place for Mormonism to flourish. The principal reason was understood to be that everywhere else would have required a much more martial religion.

Early Mormons were somewhat militant, but they’ve definitely pacified. That said, they’re more generally capable and responsible than most random people, I’d say, and that general attitude would hopefully carry over to warfare. It definitely remains to be seen how they would fare in an armed conflict on a large scale.

Snowdensjacket says:

These people have no idea what they are talking about. The Mormons highest duty is to serve the pretty princesses and most immediate leadership have single digit T levels and want to hear your boys tell them what is like to be able to get hard enough to masterbate.

The women are… Can you guess? They are women! AWALT. You go in and convert, go ahead I did six years ago, their are a lot of busted single mom pretty princesses waiting for her prince. Nothing wrong with taking a woman with another man’s child if that’s what you can get but guess what? AWALT. She’s still XX chromosome. Can you tame a wild alpha widow? Not yet? What have you been doing all these years?

Back to the church. They are concerned that you fulfill your mission. And your mission will be to take care of the single moms, which make up most of the church. Then they are concerned that you pay your tithe. Single moms can’t pay for all those bastards alone! And you may be able to bring them into the church and away from the cad life making even more single moms!

It’s a losing battle battling single motherhood this way. Just go take the red pill and turn a young girl into your wife, have many kids, and teach them what you want them to know. Stop thinking someone else is going to do it.

PS Mormon men are embarrassing. Their wives try to cheat on them with you right in front of them and they respond by quoting Moses. They complain that their mommy wife tells them to clean the toilet when they get home from work cause she’s busy on Facebook, after not taking care of their four kids learning about whatever in public school, also go buy dinner. They have sex once a year cause they ask their wives for consent, because they are actually progs, not men. They might as well wear eyeliner and cut off their balls.

Lord says:

Mormons are just White Jews (conniving, will gladly support Nig Thugs as long as they stay away from them, women are whores among sluts, etc.). They cannot be trusted since they will side with Globohomo as long as they get a cut.

Trinitarian says:

Mormonism is an anabaptist cult that denies the Trinity, therefore leftwing and therefore untrustworthy, as evidenced by how Salt Lake is now a CIA operative hatchery.

qwerty says:

Hey jim, I think you’d be interested in the latest (paywalled) post on Gray Mirror. It relates to the whole “digital counter society” thing. Yes, I know I come off a little like a Moldbug fanboy/shill

Pooch says:

I want my time back from reading that. Basically says the proles need to build out an entire underground party apparatus, then maybe they can win. The end.

jim says:

Moldbug is close.

But we need the losing factions in the elite to build a underground counter social web and counter economy, and then they will spontaneously form an underground party.

Pooch says:

Ah ok.

He also adds the party must have the understanding that the charade of democracy is over so it must have the understanding that the end goal is total power using any means necessary.

Could you give me a short summary of the high points?

James Thornton says:

Now that it is near certain that Trump has lost and the Globohomo establishment will rapidly advance their goals nakedly and virtually unopposed, what is the best medium-term strategy and posture for people like us to take, on an individual level?

It seems like the standard advice is:
– Reside somewhere Red, white, and rural/semirural
– Acquire land
– Make alliances with like minded people in the same community
– Acquire shtf supplies like food, guns, etc
– Keep a low profile with computer/internet security and not advertising your thoughtcrimes in public spaces
– Nurture independence from the “grid”, such as in homesteading, buying locally, bartering, crypto currencies.

I’m a single young white man with a well-paid remote software job, living in a blue city. My main goals are to acquire a wife and be well positioned for the coming Globohomo death spiral.

I’m considering moving somewhere Red, white, rural/semirural, and without state income tax, like in Texas, Idaho, Florida, Nevada, or Tennessee. My main concerns are availability of women, and ability to make friends and allies.

What strategies are y’all following yourselves? What do you recommend?

In the longer term, I agree with Jim that building a counter economy and counter society on the blockchain is the most fruitful path, and I want to get involved more.

John C. Calhoun says:

I wouldnt display any signs that might indicate one’s political biases like the US flag.

Key is to stay lowkey and fake it as much as possible. I get asked a lot of political questions at my workplace. I either feign leftist support or pretend that I dont follow events close enough.

Epstein's Suicide Note says:

Give money to Trump? I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. “That nice Nigerian prince probably just got a flat tire on his way to the bank. If I send him more money to fix it, I’m sure he’ll come through for me!”

I’m not equating Trump with Nigerian scammers, but what I am saying is that you need to know when the game is over. Your list looks like a combined laundry list of stale GOP propaganda, libertarian sophistry and improperly used jargon. Half of the items will paint a big target sign on your back and the other half are useless and silly. Even buying guns is counterproductive after a point, as in a real hot civil war the shortages will be of ammo, not guns. A single decent-sized cabinet will hold enough guns as one man can reasonably use to defend his home and family, and filling up a whole garage with them is only going to attract unwanted attention.

Aidan Maclear’s advice, already linked a few times, is sound advice. This is mostly very bad advice.

James Thornton says:

Yeah I agree, seems like shill/troll advice. “Unregistered”? “Buy lots of American flags to stimulate the market”? Wtf

Aidan MacLear says:

The paucity of women in rural areas is advice given by pickup artists who want to rack up huge notch counts. There are fewer women, but much easier to date and marry compared to the big city. In the mountains, one can be the highest status man in twenty miles. In the city, unlikely to be the highest status man in twenty yards.

James Thornton says:

Good points thanks.

Atavistic Morality says:

Texas already aligned itself as an enemy of the permanent government with the lawsuit to SCOTUS and has a history of looking for secession. Florida has potential to rise its own elite and resist with its own high performing Latino community.

I’d recommend moving as fast as possible to either state.

James Thornton says:

My main problems with Texas are the climate and huge amounts of hispanics. Idaho has a better climate and is very white. And constitutional carry. But yes, in a balkanization situation, Texas would likely be a powerful state. Whereas Idaho would likely be subsumed by a left coast state. Then again the mountainous terrain of large number of armed guerillas in N Idaho could deter that.

The Cominator says:

I’m in Florida already its likely to go bad less fast than most of the US (and its elites have money for bribes which much of the good states lack)… but I doubt it will resist forever.

Ace says:

So, was B right about Trump? I believe he called him a Bozo.

I think Jim’s right about how the future is going to bend now. Government stumbles into internal war while it stumbles into external war at the same time with the Communists eagerly recruit the bitter young men that with no future as most small businesses are destroyed.

Now that it’s official that only the left can do violence and that violence attracts women, young men will flock to the hard left’s banner, even if they have to suck dick and shoot up for it. Their combat ability will be low but there will be a lot of them.

This is how the Red Army got upgraded from the world’s biggest bunch of degenerates into the colossal fighting machine by the end of WWII. We literally just witnessed a coup in the USA, followed by the Czar’s capitulation. Recruitment, and purges.

Kind of yes, but the important thing is to remember their losses, something like 20M. Some, many of those were killed by their own side, shot for being cowards for retreating or allowing themselves to be captured as prisoners or getting into a penal battalion for a minor misbehavior and then got to clean minefields by marching through them. Many more were killed by the Germans, often because their officers used them in wasteful human swarm attacks. Effectively they ran their whole male population to a brutal Darwinian selection engine where you either assault machine guns head on or get shot in the back of the neck, and those who survived were real lean mean killing machines.

Pseudo-chrysostom says:

The brave ones all died first; by the time the fighting got to germany, most of the frootline troops were siberians and other central asians, because they had already gone through everyone else.

It seems to me that an alternative likelihood of events (to the holiness spiralling of the Left) is that things may stabilize somewhat under Biden into a “Socialist stagnation” in the US with increased taxes, cost of living for the productive members of society and rising levels of corruption and ineptitude in Government. Your local Gestapo boss may well become more powerful than the overlords at Harvard, but it is likely that he may be corrupt enough to be paid off and inept enough to be lax / inefficient in implementing the doctrines of the Cathedral.

I feel this may happen because whites are still too valuable to be wholesale deported or genocided and that there may still be many other tempting applecarts to knock over in the meantime.

Do you think my scenario is realistic in a country like the US? Seems like a lot of socialist states in the Third World don’t become full-on totalitarian like North Korea, but stagnate somewhat into extremely corrupt, inept, nepotistic banana Republics, but fairly livable regimes if you have enough wealth.

The Cominator says:

Not that likely, the radical progs and commies and kill whiteys control the urban political machines that rig the elections. The oligarchs may control the voting machines but I think the voting machines are less involved in the fraud then the sheboons on the ground.

Ace says:

>I feel this may happen because whites are still too valuable to be wholesale deported or genocided and that there may still be many other tempting applecarts to knock over in the meantime.

The left views all wealth as stolen and all labor as equal. Therefore highly productive whites are tossed out as criminals stealing wealth in favor of Shaniqua’s who’s labor is just as good as white and east Asian males. When Shaniqua produces negative value, it’s assumed that it’s evil white supremacy mind rays causing her to fail and whites must be punished for it.

One of the many reasons of WWI was that Europeans were just itching to fight something. There was a tension in the air that could only be released by killing and getting killed. I get this same vibe from America now, just against each other, not against neighboring nations.

The Ducking Man says:

I am a great believer that eventually technocratic movement will take over.

The picture I had in mind is more like Hong Kong today, where huge percentage will be moved closer to urban area, everyone is forced to live even smaller space, the poor will live in animal cage-like housing, middle class white collars are working in ultra competitive cut-throat environment all to live in 2 bed room apartment, while the ultra-rich enjoy luxurious life beyond imagination.

This will be compounded by every increasing automation, shrinking job opportunity, state surveillance, and social credit score. As a result state welfare is the only option to sustain society.

This time may very well be the lucky ticket where holiness spiral is self-sustaining perpetually supported by modern technology.

Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

A moment like that could only ever be brief anyways in truth; for if capital intensification may proceed in spite of ape creature dysfunction, that would signal that the ape creatures are no longer the necessary and sufficient agents for instantiating higher forms of capital; that forms of capital themselves have become increasingly self-sufficient – and hence, can jettison the dysfunctional ape creatures as irrelevant impediments to it’s flourishing.

Snowdensjacket says:

You don’t need much money to have a great life and many children these days. Even a spoon is a fun toy for a toddler.

The left wants to genocide white men, less opposition doesn’t make it less likely. Under Biden the process is going to accelerate even further, not magically stagnate.

Starman says:

The American Communist leadership is old, not young.

And old people are very uncool.

Snowdensjacket says:

The left is genociding many folks by giving them a new moral code, called consent, that results in them having no children. Their is a very easy answer to this. Don’t adopt their false morality.

The biggest problem is nobody even knows what their moral code is, much less that their are alternatives. Heretical bad think alternatives, crime stop!
