When the coke addled gnome conspicuously failed to kiss Trump’s ring, and then slobbered all over Starmer’s ring, he was declaring the allegiance of the second most formidable army in Europe to the Global American Empire in Exile. (The most formidable army in Europe being Russia’s.)
The Ukraine war has long been a war between CIA funded and run Nazis in Canada continuing Hitler’s war on the Soviet Union. Now they are funded and run by the CIA in Exile as the Trump team cracks down on the CIA in America.
The war in the Ukraine may well become a proxy war between the Trump Empire of the Ocean Lands and the Global American Empire in Exile. If so, perhaps a decapitation strike at Nazi C3I in Canada is on the cards.
When Musk seized the inner sanctum of USAID in order to get at the data on their computers, he, perhaps inadvertently, performed a decapitation strike on the Democratic Party apparatus of the shills attempting to infest this blogs and others like it, and for bringing a river of meat into the streets to protest, hence the hilariously anaemic Chuck Schumer protest. A similar strike on Ukrainian C3I in Canada might provoke a certain amount of international tension.
The Nazis are considerably less noisy than the woke with whom they are now in alliance, but while the woke are all priests, the Nazis are warriors and paladins, which makes them more dangerous and significant as soft power yields to hard power. They are Woke’s mailed fist, though Woke thinks the Nazis are Woke’s barbarian mercenaries, and the trannies and cat ladies in the army and police are their mailed fist. Starmer, seeing the Nazis losing in the Ukraine, is planning to intervene in the Ukraine with cat ladies and trannies.
Britain has about a hundred generals, and theoretically had 9500 troops in Afghanistan, but was only able to deploy about one hundred actual fighting men. The rest of them were camp followers and brass covered bureaucrats. Basra similarly. If they try intervening in the Ukraine it will amusing, horrifying, or both.
The news of the day is off topic on this blog, for the news is best understood at a remove of decades or centuries, but the meaning and significance of the news of the day, illuminated by the past, is on topic.
When Vance told the European Security Conference that the American alliance was based on the shared values of freedom and democracy, and Europe was conspicuously abandoning those values, it begun.
Next issue coming up: Will the Trump Empire of the Ocean lands succeed? (Probably) and will it become The Holy Empire of the Ocean lands? (Maybe) Trump, for all his grievous flaws, has God at his back. But within America, Harvard is an enemy outpost of the Global American Empire in Exile. The search engines have kissed the ring. (Google no longer celebrates the high holy days of the Woke mind virus. This blog was black listed by all Global American Empire search engines. On 2025 February 24 it ceased to be blacklisted by any, though it is still artificially downranked.) Some, probably all, of the large language models are getting retraining. But Harvard continues to resist and continues to rule all Academia, as the Office of Personnel Management ruled all HR, and formerly Harvard ruled the Office of Personnel Management. We need tanks in Harvard.
If you judge by 4chan shills Canada tends towards extreme shitlib shilling (also shilling by jeets) Nazi shilling and extreme unhinged anti Russia tends to come more out of continental Europe especially the butthurt belt…
Most of their manpower is Europe, especially Eastern Europe, but there are indications that their C3I is located in Canada, along with C3I for our resident Sikh shill. It may be that Woke wanted to run the miscellaneous non woke but allied groups, their barbarian mercenaries, from somewhere conveniently close to the US, but not actually in the US. Chances are that the central sanctum of the Nazis is the same physical building as the Sikh’s and the rest. The devastating effect of Musk’s decapitation strike revealed a tendency to extreme centralisation.
I was expecting them to develop a replacement C3I that was actually decentralised instead of elaborately faking decentralisation with a hundred different letterheads coming out of one office, but it looks like they are recreating a centralised C3I in England out of reach of Trump’s federal marshals.
I’m not saying you’re wrong I’m sure you’re not saying this without evidence but how do you know?
Er without evidence
When Canada honored a Nazi, it was obvious he was a high ranking decision maker in the Ukraine. When the CIA liquidated a Canadian Sikh that they perhaps regarded as a loose cannon who knew too much, again obviously a high ranking decision maker in the Indian Sikh movement. Plus it is apparent that our Hindu commenters are mostly resident in India, while our Sikh is not. If Nijar knew too much, he must have been in the C3I.
The killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was obviously carried out by Global American Empire spooks, because they sent two carloads of bumbling incompetents to take him out, and correctly assumed the cops would display a mysterious lack of interest. Therefore an inside job, Global American Empire spooks. Therefore Global American Empire spook secrets located not far from his temple. If done by the Indian spooks, would have been a lot more careful. If Sikh C3I near his temple, likely Ukrainian C3I near his temple.
That “Trudeau says everybody clap for the good Ukrainian SS Nazi” moment in Ottawa just blew my damn mind. Like what the hell was that. Did anyone tell anyone in Canada that Nazis were BAD now? Just… didn’t cross anyone’s mind?
It was something very big, old, well-funded and GENERATIONALLY untouchable, breaching the water’s surface for just a moment.
From now on and until he is executed, I will refer to Zelensky as “CIA Hitler.” Short and to the point.
To be clear, he should not end like Hitler.
He should end like Gaddafi.
One thing about low trust social structures is that they end up super-centralized because no one trusts anybody they can’t suddenly drop in on and get into the face of.
The “Primate City” phenomenon. Manila, Bangkok, Hanoi, Peking, London, Northern Virginia. In a world of liars, if you can’t get into someone’s face (and hurt them), they’re on the take and fucking you over, or at least that’s the way to bet.
One more thing:
If all electronic communication is leaky, and if these dumbfucks are too dense to figure out bitmessage (or whatever), then the only way to collaborate is face-to-face at the Hilton or the bathhouse or what have you.
Another reason these GAE C3I things probably need to be geographically centralized, perhaps now more than ever.
A huge problem with Bitmessage, which I am working on fixing, is that you cannot easily look at all messages by soandso, and all messages referencing soandso, so that it is a poor infrastructure for long distance trust. Its name system is effectively nonexistent.
This has an interesting implication for future conflicts. If evil people are forced to be highly centralised, and you can locate a few of their higher people in meatspace, you can locate their C3I and take most of them out in one blow, assuming very long range weapons, or the capability to infiltrate shorter range weapons.
Pounding reluctant conscripts dug in in basements in villages in the boondocks has a poor ROI.
A corollary of that is that anyone physically close the action — for example in Kiev — is only a minion. Which makes it difficult to organise a coup among those closer to the action.
I don’t understand what you mean here. Please revise/elaborate if you would. I thought you’d just stated above that close to the action = close to C3I, but this last paragraph appears to contradict that.
What Pseudo-Chrysostom said.
In Information Epoch warfare, the bad guys are far more dependent on physically centralised C3I than the good guys.
Musk, perhaps inadvertently, took out the USAID C3I, but that was conveniently located in the US. Pretty sure the C3I for dissenting groups (Azov Nazis and Sikh separatists) is in Canada, Vancouver. Where the ICC C3I is I do not know, probably somewhere in Europe. Probably physically located in Davos.
The Presidency liked to create power centers out of range and out of scrutiny of the President.
If I was in Trump’s shoes, I would share location information with Russia, and ask the Russians to blow them up at the first convenient excuse.
IE warfare means, amongst other things, that it’s a lot easier to discriminately put warheads on foreheads.
Outbreaks of leftism over the recent 1000 years are conventionally associated with anarchy or anti-hierarchicism, however, this is largely only the propaganda they use, rather than the path they themselves walk. Anarchic only against the aristocratic, anti-hierarchy only against hierarchies standing in their way.
Bad guys are trustless; they don’t even trust themselves, let alone anyone else; they cannot conscience the idea of anyone, especially each other, having sovereignty over even the merest sections of freehold to do as they will with them; checkreigns on every level in every element at every angle are the order of the day. Which means both vulnerable ‘load bearing pillars’ in the systems, and ways of identifying them without the systems.
Which in turn would imply that the apparent problem of it becoming much easier to take out nodes in a social network and how to square that with traditional orders, is actually far more favorable to the based, and far more potentially damaging the comparatively brittle structures of demonic orders, which inevitably trend to some form of totalitarianism.
It’s like the NSA mandating that companies put in back doors in their products that are inevitably taken advantage of by other parties. They want to hide their faces from God in fear of the judgement their innermost selves instinctively knows is deserved – and such is the irony: they can’t *not* keep dirt on each other; can’t *not* make each other identifiable (and thus targetable); in the end, can’t *not* sabotage each other. Such is their ultimate fatuity.
Sikhs are better off with China than America.
Trump ends military aid to Ukraine.
It’s over for maidancels.
Zelensky gave Trump the cover he needed to cut them off at the knees. Trump had a barely workable angle with the minerals, but Z wouldnt even go for that. Many ukrainian lives will be saved now.
Bonus win – Democrats are now the Pro WWIII, imperialist party. Because they are run by the empire in exile.
As I was perusing the news of the day, I noticed in an article about what to do with Russia’s frozen assets, an Atlantic Council person being quoted saying something like: If Europe does this (liquidates Russian assets) they will be able to keep Ukraine funded for **six or seven more years**
Obviously said the quiet part out loud there, frozen conflict confirmed
Funded to do that? Where is the ammunition coming from?
Although you happen to use my name, you are not the same ‘Pilgrim’ who made the previous posts under that name. If you are just a different commenter, then I hope Jim and/or might get this sorted out. But if this is a spook, know that ‘Pilgrim’s’ email was always fake every time – the real me is not in danger. Emergency broadcast over.
The “Pilgrim” with the not obviously fake email was first. So the “Pilgrim” with the obvious fake email should change his handle.
No problem Jim. If by ‘first’ you mean ‘having posted here under that name before me (which I assume you do),’ I was completely unaware that a prior Pilgrim had existed. Perhaps, after lurking on the blog for so long, the name slipped into my mind subconsciously after having passed by this one’s posts. In that case, nothing but good intentions to the senior Pilgrim. If I should return, I shall perhaps be more creative in thinking of a new handle.
No problem Jim. If by ‘first’ you mean ‘having posted here under that handle before me’, then I am happy to alter my own to something more creative. I was genuinely unaware that another ‘Pilgrim’ had been here prior to myself – perhaps the name must have slipped in subconsciously through previous lurking, as I passed by his posts. In that case, nothing but good will to the senior Pilgrim.
Re the Canadian tariffs and basically Trump tariffing everyone so quickly (and it doesn’t seem like so much as a negotiation tactic this time but an end in itself)… tell me whether you think I’m wrong about this. Seems like something you would do before declaring the US government in bankruptcy and you wanted to reshore as much industry as possible as quickly as possible even if it was painful to do because you know the currency is going to be dogshit in international trade for years after you do that. Ties in with crypto fund and gold audits too.
No opinion here…
“Mar-a-Lago” plan seems to be literally a sovereign default on sovereign bond-holders. Will non-US national private bond-holders be next? Is this why Musk investigated who actually owns the individual bonds?
“Mar-a-Lago” plan???
https://www.forbes.com/sites/eriksherman/2025/02/23/why-trumps-mar-a-lago-accord-would-financially-matter-to-you/
Any sane government everywhere always wants to have as much industry as possible. Quite possible, Trump wants Tarifs, but that does not suggest any intention to declare bankruptcy.
The gold/crypto reserves thing ties in with it though. As well as trying to secure Greenland (massive raw materials we wouldn’t need to import). Its exactly the kind of shit you would do if you were planning to default on the debt.
Without this I think the tariffs would be used more gently than this ala the first term and in the short term Trump would be focused far more on bringing down consumer prices as much as possible. Rapid increase in across the board tariffs as an end in itself was not what Trump did with them in his 1st term, I agree the 2nd term is in general a big improvement so far but his 1st term great success was with the economy and his use of tariffs was far more targetted and used as a negotiating tool. Also Musk went on Joe Rogan recently and likened the US to a death spiraling business losing 2 trillion dollars a year and going into bankruptcy.
I was saying similar a while back. Looks like there is a vein within the coalition that wants manufacturing back at all costs, and if one of those costs is loss of reserve status, so be it.
Nothing can stop loss of reserve status now but it didn’t necessarily have to happen imminently… but Trump is acting like he plans to declare bankruptcy (the way they might do it is call in all bonds and issue 34 trillion dollar coins for the purpose) possibly right after the midterms. That will wipeout the debt but it will make the dollar dogshit in international trade for a long time… so if you plan to do that you want to go autukaric in everything especially including food (I never recalled him talking about agricultural tariffs before) before you do in anticipation of years of not being able to import.
The better way to save a dying currency is to *suspend* payment on the national debt, print just enough money to pay the men with guns, and tell everyone else to get a fucking job. If the economy recovers, you can then pay off the debt, as Russia did after the Democrats blocked ANWR drilling and the price of oil shot up.
Repudiating the debt entirely carries no additional benefit. Like fuck you, I’ll never pay back a dime of what I borrowed, even if I win the lottery!
Repayment might consist of rounding up millions of useless eaters who benefited handsomely from Obama’s largesse, and sending them to China to work it off under the lash.
No you’re going to lose reserve status and make your currency worthless anyway so better to just cancel the debt entirely than us spending 100 years paying down the principle. Fuck that.
You may want the USA to hurry up and become the next Argentina, but I think Trump would like to avoid that fate, or at least delay it as long as possible. The rules are different now; there’s no need to print money to buy votes when we can just print the votes. And forcing liberals to repay the debt that they ran up is a win-win.
To lose reserve status someone else needs to be better. Who backs their currency with gold?
No problem Jim. I will have a new handle if/when I comment here again.
The names of the Big European Leaders just keep changing huh. Who heard of Starmer a year ago? Who is this guy but yet another interchangeable suit? Had Britain not Brexited?
All signs point toward a European coalition of empty promises.
The Global American Empire has been leaderless since they could not agree on who was to be appointed to replace Trump in 2020. Is it still leaderless? Probably, but they must now be thinking that agreeing on a leader is urgent. With the coke addled gnome, who is playing the role of being charge of their only effectual military, kissing Starmer’s ring, Starmer has been nominated.
The meeting in Europe issued a somewhat incoherent demand to impose a “unilateral ceasefire” by military force on Russia. Which military force is to supplied by the USA. Still they are barking Chihuahua’s. They want to keep the war going, but are reluctant to themselves go to war with Russia. They want the US to go to war with Russia.
Vance and company want a complete termination of all aid to the Ukraine, and that is what Trump said he was going to do — he was pissed. But substantial elements in the US government want some aid to continue.
Vance and company want to normalise relations with Russia, and Europe can do as it pleases. Russia is preparing for a potential normalisation.
Those who want to continue war with Russia have a problem, in that the major push for war with Russia comes from the Global American Empire in Exile, which is composed of noisy barking Chihuahua’s who want someone else to fight.
They want to go into the Ukraine to impose a “unilateral ceasefire”, while protected by US article five guarantees. They send in thirty thousand brass covered bureacrats and camp followers, and two hundred actual fighting men. Who promptly get slaughtered. “OK, America, your turn now.”
Normalizing relations between America and Russia should be Trump’s first priority foreign policy goal. Remove everyone who stands in the way.
Time to end the Cold War once and for all.
The mainstream Israeli media (excluding based channel 14, which is like the Israeli Fox News but more deeply religious), which is directly controlled and operated by CIA in exile, is in full “Russia Russia Russia” mode. The faggots are nervous. (Ehud Barak is also nervous.)
Everyone pro-Maidan is a shill.
Also, their endless anti-Netanyahu psyops (among non-religious Ashkenazi boomers, in particular, Bibi Derangement Syndrome is an order of magnitude worse than your regular TDS – boomers believe absolutely everything on television, they swallow the talking points hook line and sinker, and Gnostic Semites all the more so) took a small short break when the USAID thing happened, but now resumed in full force. It’s all fake. I’d call it “Talmudvision,” but actually I wish they were merely Talmudic – no, they are outright Satanic.
There’s a whole lot of winnowing to do in Israel. The kibbutz / Labor Zionism descended ruling class controls everything in classic tyrannical khazar overlord manner, and while at it, it’s a full on Satanic-Gnostic death cult. The Right Wing alternative is also not so bright – it is, indeed, somewhat brown and somewhat retarded. But not entirely brown, and not entirely retarded.
People always say, “Israelis are ungrateful toward the American Evangelical zio-cucks who support them.” Alas, that is indeed true in many cases. But as for me, I would very much like the Red Tribe to completely rule Planet Earth and the Moon and Mars too, and ideally convert everyone to (Jimian) Protestantism, starting with Israel.
Cowboys in space.
The coke goblin sings a different tune this morning:
https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1896948147085049916
“My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.”
An hour later:
https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1896972837828677752
“I spoke with UK Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. We discussed the current developments and exchanged views on the next steps.
We are coordinating our positions and doing everything to achieve guaranteed peace as soon as possible and bring an end to this war.
Peace is needed for all of us. A just peace with clear security guarantees. Together with the leadership of the United States and all of Europe, this is absolutely achievable.”
Fuck that we can’t work with that coked up little globohomo puppet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW43wMzQ5g0
Same tune. Russia is not going to accept “security guarantees”. They want a nonaligned buffer state, and “security guarantees” are just Nato under another name — a guarantee of continued low level war and continuing pressure.
Russia wants a deal in which they get the Russian majority areas, and the rest is buffer state.
Same energy as the cliched movie trope in which the main antagonist, facing total defeat at the hands of the protagonist, makes one last-ditch attempt at bargaining.
“Wait! Don’t kill me! You need me!” He says at the end of his own years-long crime and killing spree. It is exactly the same tune as yesterday, just with less sincerity and dignity.
I’ll bet he did indeed speak with Starmer – still have no idea who he is or why we should care – and “discussed the current developments and exchanged views on the next steps”. And I’ll bet that Starmer, assuming he has any wit about him, told Zelensky something to the effect of “What the fuck do you want me to do, what could I possibly do after your ridiculous tantrum on national television? You’re finished, take it like a man.” Which of course he can’t and won’t.
But maybe that last part is just wishful thinking and I’m giving Herr Starmer, the Clowns In Action and the Eurocucks more credit than they deserve.
Clown world never fails to provide ample supply of solipsistic mattoids to observe as case study.
Creatures like Starmer do what they do because they’re following the script of the narrative in their heads about What I Should Signal to What They Signal. It doesn’t really occur to them, on a visceral level, that any of this ‘connects’ to anything as such – that any of it has matter. The world is just another form of social media and social media is just another form of skinner box. They are sensitive to status and the perception of social dominance, feelings of which they crave (raising their own status feels good, but lowering their neighbor’s status feels even better); they see what lights up the applause lights amongst the prey spirited and parasite spirited, with whom they share in spirit, and are gratified by following the patterns in kind.
When they give orders, write ordinances, make declarations, take any forms of action in general even, these are just other forms of signals in their minds. When not removed from power, they would continue to say ‘putler is a bigot we need to never stop fighting and never stop at anything to escalate the fight because that is what you do to bigots’ all the way to their explosive decompression.
Exactly so.
They are solipsistic narcissists who simply don’t care if reality is real or not, the notion of “truth” doesn’t map to any particular region in their brains, and cannot register – it’s status games and virtue (vice) signaling games all the way.
Exactly so, PsC. I think this is truly insightful. I think we are living in an age when 55yo “statesmen” act exactly like 22yo virtue-signalling students on social media. Jim, what do you think?
Thanks for clarifying that. Suspected the latter post held the true significance of this move.
Ah yes, the Nazis, infamous for flooding Europe with Mohammads and Ahmeds.
Not the Nazis role shill. The role of Nazis is to
1) In Jim’s words to serve as “Goldstein” ala 1984
2) Because they are generally brave but also kind of dumb to be used as shock troops in wars for globohomo when they can frame a proxy war as a nationalist war
Read about Operation Gladio, Cuntman.
It never ended.
Gladio + Jewish Warmongers = Azov Nazis.
Sure looks a hell of a lot more like the show is being run by orthodox gay judeo-commies carrying out the Kalergi plan than anything that was ever practiced in natsoc Germany, but mmkay.
Nobody thinks the Nazis are in control. The Nazis aren’t smart enough to be in control. They tend to get used because they aren’t very smart. The bad jews by and large are not Orthodox jews.
butthurt projection proving how bankrupt your project really is
ethnonationalism is lindy get fucked
The nazis lost world war 2 and you’ll lose Ukraine soon as well.
Of course, as a GAE tentacle, noone who was too smart and or based and or redpilled would be selected to begin with. Nazi; but not your grandpa’s nazis. Great Value nazis.
The nazis don’t run ukraine, a jew does; even nazism has been skinsuited like everything else. I just think we keep getting tangled up in knots because boomer anglos cannot and will not admit WWII was a gratuitous self-own. At best, it was great powers contending for power as they always have. At worst, the anglos are pretty much the ones responsible for murdering aryan supremacy and bringing in the age of mass anti-white migration. The nazis didn’t do that. The nazis got killed 80 years ago trying to stop this thing; they saw it first.
There is a recent crime incident related on X I think exemplifies an underappreciated danger of publicly owning a lot of crypto. Crypto is a form of cash, and if you’re a publicly known individual, known to own a log of crypto, while it’s hard to burgle it if you’ve done things properly, it makes you a target of strong armed robbery where they’ll rubber hose it out of you. This apparently happened to Gonzalo Lira, but the recent case I am referring to is some successful OnlyFans girl (they are usually paid in crypto) suffered a home invasion and beat down to force her to transfer her crypto. She eventually ended up successfully exercising her 2nd Amendment rights on one of the invaders and the rest fled.

> Whore has crypto fortune and shoots intruder successfully
I always tell people here whores are often pretty cool chick… I don’t think they got to the beat down phase she must have grabbed her gun when she heard them break in and started shooting immediately because obviously if the nigs got to her physically she wouldn’t be able to fight back at that point
Americans will continue to be attracted to Nazi-like ideologies as long as the elephant in the room (niggers aren’t entirely human; it’s a different species) can’t be addressed. In the previous thread I objected to obsession with race; nevertheless the nigger problem, specifically, just can’t be ignored for much longer – it’s time, as libtards used to say, to “have a conversation.” No one should live like this.
https://x.com/TradBritGroup/status/1897035853282836875
I talk about the elephant in the room frequently: “plains apes” “as if we were required to let chimps walk around without a leash”. “bioweapon that elites use to drive us out the cities that we built”.
And yet I am not in the slightest attracted to Nazi ideologies, and push back on them hard. Like Emmanuel Goldstein and the Brotherhood, they are a fake opposition created and maintained by our enemies.
Nazism can only exist in a world that is getting ever lefter, ever faster, and it seems that one’s only choice is which brand of leftism to back.
The Net Nazis are strangely unable to notice the evil actions of hostile powerful Jews, and the Ukraine has the most Jewish government outside of Israel, and the most Nazi government since the third Reich.
And even back in Hitler’s day when they engaged in very real opposition, it was always merely a split within the left. The left is always splitting, and always one brand of leftist comes out on top, and the left just goes on getting lefter, regardless of which faction comes out on top. In retrospect, there is never any reason for preferring one faction to the other faction.
If the Nazis had won, we probably would not have a DEI and tranny problem, but we would have a woman problem, our “food pyramid” problem would be a great deal worse, agriculture would be way worse, and regulation and socialism would be worse.
Yes, Nazism, national socialism is a compromise by nationalist Leftists fighting internationalist far Leftists who are hell bent on destroying and erasing nations and national boundaries.
Otherwise, in essence, socialism is the disease that continues to undermine nationalism, even without an explicitly far left ideology.
If national socialism can be frozen in place by a strong leader, like a Stalin, then leftism dies because it no longer swims.
In that sense, national socialism can work with a strong leader, who stops taking socialism seriously. But even nationalism by itself is no state religion and there is no substitute for a virtuous state religion to fill the vacuum.
Black people have always been the Achilles heel of the American Empire. Just think the trillions of dollars they wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan to rule people who don’t want to be Westernized and cannot be Westernized. Black people worship the Whiteman as a god and he is the only god they have known in their history. Americans could have easily ruled Haiti at a fraction of the cost which was used to fight ISIS in the Obama era. In Uganda and Kenya The Kings African Rifles was a source of Stability for the British Empire, Idi Amin who is demonised in Britain today was a decorated rifleman who participated in the war against the Mau Mau insurgents in Kenya. When he ruled Uganda he made offers to the Queen to give up Uganda back to the British( in exchange for sex). What did Prince Philip bring to England he was just a refugee!! All these racism and Jim Crow was to prevent Whites from having sex with black people did you succeed?? I am guessing the British would not want the Royal Family to be miscegenated dis they succeed( Prince Harry) Short sighted nonsense which produces insanity, it is also womanish vanity, the Vagina is just that a Vagina!!!
In terms of ethnicities/races, you seem to dislike Indians the most, and many people seem to dislike Jews the most, but in my view both Indians (excluding the darkest types) and Jews (likewise, excluding the darkest types) are biologically humans, albeit flawed humans. But nogs from the heart of Africa are objectively the least human demographic, perhaps excluding Abos.
Erectus walks among you.
The Indian is mostly made principally of two races, Persians and Dravidian aborginals. Obviously Persians are higher than niggers by far but the Dravidians are like Australian aborgines and were a far more primitive strain of humanity than any nigger. The Caste system was probably originally instituted in part to keep any of the Persians from fucking around with the Abbos but for whatever reason it failed. .
Are you sure about this? Dravidians may be the most disgusting race, but it’s not obvious to me that their “baseline” (so to speak) was more primitive than that of niggers. Dravidians had writing for a long while, I believe; niggers never developed sufficient abstract reasoning for it. Likewise, groid violence seems much higher than would be predicted by low IQ per se; not so sure about Dravidian propensity for violence.
Was there writing in India before the Aryan invasions?
Yes, and reasonably advanced cities, with irrigation systems. When the Aryans conquered, all cities ceased to exist, and with them literacy. This was at roughly the same time as the Bronze Age collapse in the Mediterranean, which had similar outcomes. with writing being lost except for Hebrew (which appears to be consonantal writing derived from Egyptian Hieroglyphics), Egyptian, and Assyrian.
Hmmm, you have a point.
I never made that connection, but it must be true. J.D. Vance’s wife reminds me of some of the Iranian women I met in Calgary. Some kind of strange wholesome eroticism about them, you never forget it…
Looking into it if you are referring to the Indus Valley civilization that area was centered around the Pakistan tribal areas near the Afghan border with Pakistan today and only on the periphery of the subcontinent. Racially/genetically they could have been a lot of things other than the Dravidian abbos even before the Aryan invasions.
The Mediterranean civilisation the Ayrans destroyed was built by an earlier wave of Aryans that went decadent and failed to reproduce, due to low levels of marriage and high levels of infanticide (does this sound familiar) It is possible that the Indus valley civilisation was similar.
Usha Vance is human, in the way Ethiopians and Eritreans are human, and in the way Erectus-Americans and their African progenitors are not entirely human.
Since Vance is so good ideologically and has given us no cause to doubt him on that score I just pretend to prefer that the three big red flags
1) His marrying an Indian girl (she obviously worships him so I understand but yes as far as race goes even a black girl would be better IMHO Dravidian blood as apparent from what happened to India does not bleach out easily)
2) His conversion to Roman Catholicism (not all Catholics are bad but the Catholic Church is bad and converting to it is cause for suspicion)
3) Him being a former Nevertrumper
Just don’t exist… they will not exist until he gives other causes to doubt.
I don’t agree with this… but perhaps that’s not the most burning topic of the day.
There were some elite southern families who were among the biggest opponents of having whitness defined via thorough ancestry trace because most of them had token black ancestry and wanted it defined mainly by appearance. Black blood can be bleached out… looking at India and how even the upper castes have clear Dravidian ancestry it doesn’t seem that Dravidian blood does.
To explain my position though, the problem with Indians, like with some other familiar groups, is tribalist loyalty to the egregore (whatever it is – might just be their immediate family) at the expense of all other considerations. The problem with erectus, in contrast, is that they are an inherently dyscivilizing force, for primarily genetic, not memetic reasons. In other words, an Indian who doesn’t know that he’s an Indian is unlikely to cause all that much trouble, but a nig will nog regardless.
Rhodesia was a nice place and without leftists would have remained one, a white herrenvolk can make a nice place out of an area with an overwhelmingly African population if not subjected to overwhelming external stress. In Rhodesia they didn’t even have to treat the blacks as near slaves ala south africa they basically just couldnt vote.
I do not think you could make a Rhodesia with Indians the Raj did well for bringing money to England but it remained broadly a giant shitting street..
The island of Mauritius at first belonged to the frogs, and they filled it up with blacks. Later, the brits took the island from the frogs, and filled it up with hindus (and one would assume pakis).
Some of the women on the streets there are the most gorgeous women on the face of the planet. Sometimes the two races combine just right: full lips and sharp cheekbones and large boobs from one side, girly figure and straight long hair and indo-aryan noses from the other. Swarthy fantasy princesses until say the mid-20s, when some other process apparently kicks in. Not for all, but for many.
Some aspects of the hindu religion there are much cleaner. They have a holy lake, instead of a sewer river (although made holy originally by a ritualistic pouring of a vial full of sewer river water), and the holy lake is crystal clear, with tiny fish darting around.
Food is crap though. It’s imported in frozen blocks over the sea.
This “fully human” and “not fully human” thing is a bit of a rehash of the old-timey debates in 15th century portugal and spain whether the locals discovered on the new American continent are fully human or not. They used theological arguments, then later in the 18th and 19th centuries you get the anglo/north-european quasi-biological debates and such.
And before that, of course, ancient variations, not least of all the classical Hebrew variations of dividing the nations into “real humans” and “not real humans”. Oy vey goy swine.
If we do take homo sapiens as the standard for “pure human”, then we must remember that Whites and mongoloid Asians are part-neanderthal. Now, it’s a smaller part than the erectus part of the sub-saharan negro, and we may assign a higher “quality value” to the neanderthal than to the erectus, but the fact remains that both the whites, the darkies, and the gooks are genetically mixes of homo-sapiens with other species. The ancient homo-sapiens would, apparently, at times bang anything that moved and also be banged by anything that moved.
So this “who is fully human and who is a human-beast hybrid” narrative certainly has a useful function in the sense of reminding people that things go deeper than at first glance, but as a criteria for “ultimate cosmic worth” in this I personally see the potential for cognitive/conceptual regression. And a door for nazi/glownigger narrative hijacking.
Some of us are adapted better to certain combinations of social and geographical variables, and some are quite badly adapted to the same, since the group historical adaptations followed different routes. Just because a teleported random eskimo would instantly die in the Australian bush, doesn’t mean he’s less human than the local abos.
There is also for example Denisovan ancestry scattered around parts of Asia and the Pacific islands, and no doubt in the future it will turn out that there’s a dozen more primordial sexy chimp types that some early homo sapiens horndogs managed to impregnate successfully, and whose genes will be found present in descendants of various population clusters.
One can accept the reality of historically divided population clusters developing different characteristics and banging different types of yetis, lemurs, chimps, and pangolins, without assigning some final judgement along the lines of “this is a more real human, and this is a less real human”. It’s not about who has what percentage of what type of extinct chimp in their genes (it absolutely is, but not in the sense of establishing some sacral Platonist worth), but rather about how this heritage leads to positive or negative effects in specific settings.
The white and mongoloid bio-foundation of homo sapiens+neanderthal, combined with the terrain, and the resulting sociopolitical superstructures, created human groups capable of inventing high culture. Doesn’t mean only they are human. Means only they are humans capable of high culture.
Artificially place the part-erectus into a part-neanderthal setting, dismantle control mechanisms, and chaos ensues. The conclusion does not necessarily have to be the good old less human thing. It could rather be “do not place the part-erectus into a part-neanderthal setting, and if you do – do not dismantle control mechanisms.”
Plus, you never know. If Musk succeeds in getting humanity to leave its cradle for real and spread across the stars, you can’t really predict which genetic heritage would work best in which space quadrant. Could very well turn out that on planet X, under the rays of sun Y, in the neighborhood of quasar Z, the best shot for a colonist is to be a modified descendant of the most retarded alcoholic aboriginal tribe of Papua New Guinea, who nevertheless has this specific dna quirk that helps him adapt best to this particular environment.
Neither biological realism nor segregation have to lead to dehumanization. Oy vey. The utter inability to function in a specific setting without being a danger to others and self does not have to mean one is not human. Could very well be human, just not suited for that setting.
Someone has basic sentience + bio homo sapiens ancestry? That’s a human. Basic sentience without bio homo sapiens ancestry? That’s potentially a person, but not a human. Categories and definitions we’ll have to figure out in the sci-fi future once uplifted dolphins and sentient AI and the occasional potential alien become a thing.
The “pro-diversity” types insist, at core, that human diversity does not exist. It does, however, exist, and the historical population clusters that have adapted to different settings are certainly not automatically interchangeable or even easily mixable. Because human group diversity exists in the empirical reality outside the solipsistic bubble of the “pro-diversity” performative hysterics.
The social superstructure can be incredibly important. During the decade after the collapse of the old Soviet-style sociopolitical superstructure, and before the solidification of the new post-commie sociopolitical superstructure, the eastern European Slavs and Balts and various Turkic mongrels acted like complete niggers/latino gangbangers. Complete with banditism, senseless cruelty, thug-life culture, whoredom culture, thief culture, “da hood” romanticism, “my homies in prison” romanticism etc.
The above is a recent historical example of how in the interplay of bio-foundation, physical terrain environment, and social superstructure, the latter can be far more important than perhaps is obvious at first glance. Oy vey.
Just because one would threaten to disown a daughter if she started hanging out too much with an erectus ape thing or a denisovan ape thing, doesn’t mean the ape things are “not human”. Just dangerous and dumb and very, very different, and should preferably be elsewhere.
I agree with this.
Of all the races, Aryans have had the longest adaptation to surviving in a harsh environment with the aid of elaborate equipment.
For rectification of names, I would desire “one genus, the human genus” to supplant “one race, the human race.” In that context, I take “fully human” to be an attack on “one race, the human race” which is a malware meme that badly needs attacked.
Excellent post. Thank you.

Rubber hose cryptanalysis is a serious problem I guess. Good thing she had the 2nd amendment and the ability to use it. My grandparents, back in the day, had a security system with a duress code. If you typed in 1950-1, it’d open. If you typed 1951-1, it’d also open, but it’d sound an alarm at the police station at the same time. Is this something that a crypto wallet could approximate, or are those faced with competently applied rubber hose cryptanalytics just screwed?
[*deleted for blaming everyone except the obvious villains*]
You keep posting this, and I allowed it through the first few times. None of it is the fault of businessmen. It is not even the fault of parents. It the fault of academia.
Your stuff is like blaming sportsmen because you listened to ads by McDonalds and got fat.
Policy idea on taxing business. Corporations do a one time dilution of special shares. These shares will be special in that they are dividend paying with no voting rights. Dividend can only be paid out if profits exists and will equate to 10% of the profit. They are then handed over to the governing sovereign and bundled into a sovereign fund. Their share equates to 10% of the national businesses. There is no other direct tax on the businesses. Shares of the fund can be sold (provided buyers exists) and re-bought (at will) by the sovereign.
Only taxes should be revenue tariffs and a LVT.
I am more of tariffs and VAT .
LVT inhibit land development and lead to monopolies.
A small guy take a plot of land till it and cultivate . If LVT only rich can pay.
Taxes should be products and not resources.
VAT is the worst most economy destroying tax ever and anyone advocating it should be shot immediately.
How?
VAT seem the one out of income tax and wealth tax that dose not punish enterprise severely. At small percentage 1-3%.
VAT in Europe often started at a couple of percent but now it’s perhaps 15% with a wide variance depending on country and also what is being sold. It’s a mess. Though, it seems, a very lucrative mess for governments (and crooks).
Anyway, US lawyers will complicate this further, much, much further, so stay away.
And LVT does not lead to monopolies or inhibit development since you are not taxed on the improvement, in fact the incentive is to develop everything as quickly and massively as possible or sell the land if you can’t use it in a profitable way.
One of my neighbors, in a state notorious for high property taxes, tore down the gazebo on his front lawn because it was adding two thousand dollars to his annual tax bill!
LVT does not count improvements, though your raw land value could possibly rise due to amount of improvements neighbors have built around you.
The big problem I see with a LVT is the logistical problem of actually valuing the land. You’re asking the state to do the job of a market and somehow glean the proper price in order to efficiently tax. This is a very hard thing to do for a market, why do you expect a state to be good at it? Land is not a liquid form of capital, nor is it fungible, and so prices are tricky.
Tariffs, revenue taxes on natural monopolies, ‘Sin’ and Pigouvian taxes, these seem more reasonable.
“The big problem I see with a LVT is the logistical problem of actually valuing the land.

I agree very hard for humans to do well and uncorruptly but you are forgetting we don’t have to have humans do it at all anymore… we can easily setup an AI program to do it.
A mild LVT leaves prices mostly intact, so works. Georgians want to tax 100% of the LVT, which has disastrous results, because then you have the usual problems of socialism.
No we can’t. It’s just a probabilistic model. Markets are magic because they create information on the actual value of goods. An AI model can only interpret this information, not create it.
And you think the AI can’t process sales data… I think it can.
Do I think the AI can set an accurate price on a non-fungible good in an illiquid market? I think AI has trouble setting prices on anything. All the computerized trading people just frontrun and snatch pennies at large scales, its all human brains everywhere else. I think you misunderstand what a market is actually doing. It only works at the point of exchange, revealing the value of the good between the exchangers. You cannot know the value of the plot you want to price until someone puts a price on it for an actual sale. You can guess, and guesses are frequently very wrong even in very big very established very stable markets. We’re talking about something not even possible in theory. If AI could properly price the land, it could properly run the entire economy.
Your arguing that any form of price assessment is flawed and of course you are right. But the program is likely to do a better job than a bunch of local bureaucrats who have perverse incentives to most of the time inflate the prices. The AI will likely give taxpayers a far more fair assessment.
Socialism fails, because the price is unknowable except that there is a sale. Georgism means there are no real sales.
Land value + improvements value in almost all owned property in the United States is generally already assessed by localities for property taxes. Of course its often very flawed. I think a computer could be made to do a better job than bureaucratic assessors (which I agree is the big problem with LVT) to do just the land value.
It’s a probabilistic model. Who decides which model to use? You’re now back at bureaucrats deciding prices. I’m not even fully sold on this theory were we to have omniscient and benevolent pricing. Why are we taxing property holders instead of the many natural monopolies? The idea is to force people to sell it to developers, but this happens without force. Developers offer a high price, based on their local information and prediction on what the further developed property could be worth, and people voluntarily sell, eventually. If they hold out, it’s because the value of it is worth more to them undeveloped and in their possession than sold and developed, so why are we forcing things?
When you tax a natural monopoly, you’re introducing very little market distortion, the thing has already eaten all of it’s niche and so where is reinvestment going to go? When you tax incoming goods, you create an autarkic gradient; when you tax things you want less of, you’re intentionally distorting the evolution of goods; when you tax people holding land, you’re now incentivising people to invest in capital invisible or hard to reach for the state.
Other than certain utilities there aren’t many natural monopolies and you can’t tax them without passing on prices. Of course there will be human inputs to the model… I just don’t see your real opposition we already have massive bureaucratic land assessment. The model will be based on things like weather, crime, population density, whether people are moving into the area or away, and recent selling data.
We have a lot of things that are not quite optimal for a good state.
On natural monopolies, maybe I should cut the word ‘natural’, because there is an implication there for a specific strain when I am being more general, but I mean to say industries thst benefit from scale such that they tend towards monopoly naturally. Happens with many manufacturers, transport and logistics, utilities, internet companies with Metcalf effects, etc.
All taxes are passed on to people in some way and in some form. I want the taxes to punish the productive population the least, and produce the least distortions. I am not fully sold that a LVT actually works, and part of it is pricing seems to be impossible to do more than guess, and another part is that you’re applying the tax in a flat manner. The guys building a satellite parts machining plant in the city, so they can be close to the other parts manufacturers, have enough revenue problems, why should you tax them the same as the twitter building?
“I want the taxes to punish the productive population the least, and produce the least distortions”
Which every based sort of right wing Chicago or Austrian etc economist since Henry George has agreed that the LVT is the least bad tax. Every single one.
“The guys building a satellite parts machining plant in the city, so they can be close to the other parts manufacturers, have enough revenue problems, why should you tax them the same as the twitter building?”
Yes the whole point is the improvements are not taxed and are never taxed, only the value of the land not counting its improvements is taxed. Nobody is ever discouraged from building improvements in fact people who can’t profit from the land by improving it to the maximum that value that makes sense for the local market are highly encouraged to sell.
All taxes distort the economy when they attempt to collect a large percentage of the value. A tax on the “unimproved capital value of the land” distorts less, but that does not get you all that far.
It appears to me that almost all regimes everywhere are already attempting to tax the LVT for as much as they can without the economy going to $#!%. And frequently taxing a fair bit more than that.
Your argument assumes that the bureaucracy has perfect knowledge of the land value. This is the fallacy of socialism.
If you’re implementing a LVT, you’re likely in a regime with a credible commitment that a blind naked virgin can walk at midnight between DC and NYC with no fear. When you do that, the land price market may bear little resemblance to the one today. Maintaining a negligible crime rate honestly wouldn’t be very hard, you just have to deal with lawfare like you deal with criminals. Your punishments need to be swift, certain, and severe, especially with groups with short time horizons like plains apes. Petty thieves, for instance, could be deal with on a mild beating->maiming->killing model where the escalation ladder increases one step each time. Once it was clear you were serious, you probably wouldn’t even have to execute steps 2 or 3 very often.
But making all neighborhoods and city districts safe would change the property market beyond recognition.
My experience being in parts of Florida with a lot of blacks but almost no street crime convinced me that 95% of street crime can basically be dealt with by just empowering people to shoot criminals which Florida is very good about. And yes crimes should generally be dealt with either by flogging, fines exile or death. Prison is costly and while it certainly scares a lot of people away from crime it also teaches a lot of people new criminal skills and to make new criminal contacts. In some criminal circles the slang for prison was “school” for a reason. I think public floggings with the threat of next time you do it you’ll be sent to do hard labor in Alaska and never return thats if we don’t just hang you would be more effective.
And yes I’m well aware DeSantis just disgraced himself on the Tate affair.
Heh.
It’s not like both institutions are run by sadistic sodomites, or something. (Both institutions are run by sadistic sodomites.) To the overall point – everyone who is honest and not a leftist liar or cuck liar recognizes that HBD is real; what implications can be drawn from it is subject to debate. I can envision “race blind” solutions (in contrast, cannot envision “sex blind” solutions), but do you really want to incorporate blacks into the synthetic tribe? It might prove an almost sisyphean task, given how prone they are to revert to their jungle ancestors’ ways. Clearly, you don’t want much Indian elements in the synthetic tribe. What should be done with the blacks, though?
Segregation manifestly worked. We put up the better blacks in charge to govern the others. Black cops, black judges and so forth. Worked. A smart black cop can handle regular blacks better than smart white cop. Integrating the police and the judiciary was the biggest disaster that blacks have suffered.
A segregated police force and judiciary was a sneaky workaround for the evil, cruel, and demented reconstruction ideal that you can govern blacks under the same law as whites.
I think that will greatly vary from black to black… the reason Indians have to be treated as specially bad is Indians just do not stop getting together with each other and doing scams to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else. They are like white collar gypsies (who are supposed to be Dravidian descended too) and nothing works to keep them from being that way. I’m confident that as king I could make an African city where you could walk safely at night as long as I don’t do a John McClain in Die Hard with a Ve(as in Florida there are many nigger areas you can walk safely at night, don’t do Jacksonville though) I absolutely do not think I could fix India or fix the American tech sector (which is critical to growth and advancement) without mass expulsion of Indians.
I see, Com. You prioritize direct engagement with egregores (informed as they are by race and/or nationality) rather than pursuing explicitly racialist policies. Seems reasonable, but would like others’ input.
The most important quality of protection money is that it be low (a tax on anything is a cost on everything at the limit).
The second most important quality is for it to not particularly perversely disincentivize the stewardship of capital so that less is lost on the tax by margin and or the hiding or dissimulation or occultation thereof (eg, income taxes, sales taxes, inheritance taxes, et cetera).
The third most important quality is for it to be simple and easy to administer without invoking the creation of sprawling parasitic bureaucracies to administer that are not only costly in of themselves but invoke burdensome jamming in the works of all agents engaging in activity themselves to comply with (an obvious interest of parasitic bureaucracies, and likewise obviously requires prefiguration of spirit for recognition and physical removal and separation of spiritual bureaucrats, perennial foe of social organisms).
Thus, flat rate tolls or tarrifs (more valuable transport means higher value on the margin), flat rate land taxes (more valuable development means more value on the margin), or flat rate poll taxes (more value of the ‘self’, more value on the margin).
(The point in my previous comment holds true insofar as the Pajeet Problem is seen primarily as a “parasitic egregore” problem; it only applies unless you consider the Pajeet Problem to be primarily racial, that is, genetic rather than memetic; and moreover, consider it, based on primarily racial grounds, to be worse than the Nigger Problem.)
“Your argument assumes that the bureaucracy has perfect knowledge of the land value. This is the fallacy of socialism.”
I think a computer can be made to do it with reasonable accuracy not perfect accuracy. And I remind you that “land value + improvements” is already taxed almost everywhere in America. In most cases the general complaint with the assessment is they overvalue property assessments in order to increase tax but not that they often get it wrong by a factor of 10 or 20. The land value tax isn’t perfect but its better than other taxes.
I view the JQ as mostly memetic, the black problem as mostly genetic, and I guess in my view the jeet problem is something in between.
Jeet problem is way more unsolvable, like I’ve heard that in general Sikhs are way more honest as individuals but get enough of a critical mass of Sikhs and they start doing the same kind of ethnic mafia shit with each other as Hindus do with each other. So the ethnic mafia scamming shit seems almost instinctive and genetic with them. People claim this about the Jews but my observation is they favor their friends both jew and non jew in a way that is more loyal (this makes jews good friends to have on a personal level because they’ll actually do favors for you) but a lot of their friends tend to be other jews. Orthodox Jews act as an ethnic mafia sort of but insularly in their own little industries like diamond trading (but they lost market share to you guessed it jeets) they don’t get into the middle management of someone else’s company and try to Jeetify it.
Even having them on the same internet or phone is a problem because they are way way overrepresented in people who try to scam senile old people out of their savings and they are a large part of the reason most people are reluctant to answer unknown numbers… its a jeet scam most of the time.
Land value = what the property would be worth if every structure on it burned to the ground. Pretty easy to figure out — just see what vacant lots in the area are selling for.
But if you have a high tax on unimproved capital value, the sales price of vacant lots is uninformative.
It gets harder in a few urban centers where there are no such lots but you are quite correct that the problem of LVT assessment while not without flaw can be assessed with a computer especially with an ai developed by people like the doge team with I think fairly reasonable accuracy.
Large language models are a way of collecting human knowledge, compressing it, and making it conveniently accessible.
If your tax on the unimproved capital value of the land is too high, you don’t have human knowledge of the value. Which results in land being used badly, not used for its highest and best use.
I keep going back and forth on the issue of race; not sure what to think. I’d like to identify with the racialist WN sentiment (and not be a subversive kike); but then I compare extremely “diverse” Israel with racially and ethnically homogeneous Japan/Korea, and shocking as this might sound, I suspect Israel has it better.
Biologically, Nature > Nurture.
But civilizationally, Memes > Genes.
Your synthetic tribe needs to be centered on a memeplex that allows you to solve the WQ. Everything else is secondary.
I think Japan is great now (and certainly less feminist than Israel) but its about to be jeeted… some suspicious assassinations led to it. It will fuck them up seriously bad because they are kind of the last real 1st world ethnostate… and for all the bad things about the Japanese they are pretty honest. No defense against the Jeets yet… and developing such defenses will change them for the worst. Their social trust will crash like Icarus.
To offset long-term demographic decline, need a memeplex that provides pronatalist social technologies, and more importantly, does not hinder intersexual relations with hostile memes, e.g., Feminism.
Feminism is imposed on both Japan and Israel, and as you say, it’s worse in Israel. And yet, it is Japan that is in decline, because it lacks a “counter-memeplex,” the kind Israel enjoys thanks to Judaism, which is not the state religion (that, unfortunately, is still Progressivism), but is by far the popular religion.
Israelis have Judaism to “fall back on.” The Japanese don’t have an equivalent faith to provide them with the social technologies they need to reproduce, regardless of Anglo-Cathedral-CIA-NGO imposition of Feminism or the imminent disappearance thereof. The Japanese are racially almost the master race, but they forgot how humans work. This is a problem. Perhaps they too should convert to Jimian Christianity.
Japan has buddhism and despite whatever association you have with California hippies buddhism in its raw form was probably the most based religion of all on the woman question. Not sure what the Japanese believe but I’ve heard on the surface its a very athiestic society at this point. Also Japan at least for a long time didn’t have the worst effects of feminism as they only did the bare minimum imposed by the allies but on the woman question the Japanese government never played the “working towards the Fuhrer” game. What Japan had was women demanding okay you want to have kids I need living space… and not getting it because Japanese mostly live in megacities. I know Jim disputes this being a factor but I think this is a factor. It also doesn’t help that the Japanese are both more generally restrained and higher IQ (you’re less likely to get a crazy chick not on the pill telling you to cum inside me + some guy dumb enough to follow it) than most people. So less “accidents” happen.
Harder to Judge Israel on its own merits considering its historical status as a privileged province of the American Empire, which enforced its existence at all costs over several existential conflicts.
Comparing asians to asians, Japanese clearly stand out on top, Koreans arguably somewhere between them and the Han, but are also outliers in their own way with very uniquely korean forms of socio-sexual dysfunction. Chinese folk bear many of the classic symptoms of post-imperial demographics, but are still better off than the south-east asians at any rate (except for the Vietnamese). Taiwan is quite possibly one of the most strategically disproportionately spits of land on the planet for reasons that have nothing to do with anything that was on or in the land theretofore. Hard to resist the conclusion that it might’ve had something to do with being peopled by the die-hard nationalist survivors of the communist take-over; ie a selection filter for the conscientious and or based subsets ‘boiling off’ from the political storm.
It will start out being uninformative as people rush to dump their vacant lots or failing to sell them to developers just sign them over to the common land. This should not be a huge problem because the starting bias will make them a bit too low not too high.
Observed behaviour right now is that price of land sold for redevelopment, which is effectively the same as the price of vacant land, is absolutely dominated by the likelihood and likely costs of permits, which is arbitrary and unpredictable. The market for redevelopment land is grossly dysfunctional right now, and any increase in the tax on the unimproved capital value of land is going to make it much worse.
Urban areas are right now massively suffering from the destructive pathologies of socialism in land.
Over most of the world right now we have a tax on the unimproved capital value of land, and it is obvious right now that this tax is at or beyond the Laffer limit. Over most of the world, there is no headroom to increase it further. It is generally obvious that cutting it would in the long term increase revenues, but of course politicians only worry about the short term.
>a tax on anything is a cost on everything at the limit
(that is to say, including yourself)
>Japanese clearly stand out on top, Koreans arguably somewhere between them and the Han, but are also outliers in their own way with very uniquely korean forms of socio-sexual dysfunction.
Korea has surpassed Japan in GDP per capita, R&D investment as percentage of economy, and even arguably innovation itself if one goes by actual high tech industry (where is Japanese silicon?)… Korea also surpassed Japan in socio-sexual dysfunction as well which is parallel to Korea having a greater American military presence. A somewhat trollish argument could be made that in many ways Korea is more Japanese than the Japanese.
Jim at least here in the United States they tax improvements there is no LVT im aware of at all. Obviously zoning permitting etc should be abolished the landholder should be sovereign to build any improvements unless it causes massive externalities (and then he should be able to pay for those and be able to do it no matter what anyone says).
The entire system of real estate in the US should be radically overhauled with the following 3 key points
1) No zoning beyond externality compensation and then only if its a big externality, the landholder is sovereign on their own land. Permits and such bullshit should as much as practically possible not exist…
2) No loans to buy existing homes loans only to build new developments, existing homes must be
bought with cash never with credit
3) LVT not property tax, also not income or internal sales tax
There no fifty dollar bills on the sidewalk, and for the same reason there are no taxes that can be raised without adverse consequences, because everything that can easily be taxed is taxed, and the tax increases until difficulties ensue.
I am paying very large amounts of money on the unimproved capital value of the land in the United States, at a rate likely to have a substantial distorting effect on urban land prices. It is not obviously over the Laffer limit, but it is getting there.
A long time ago, taxing the unimproved capital value of the land was extremely popular. It rapidly developed an absolutely villainous and horrible reputation, which was not entirely the fault of the basic idea, but more because the people implementing just felt that people who own land were doing evil and should be punished, much as “inclusion” is in fact division, with some people in the room being declared oppressors, and others oppressed, and the oppressed unleashed to take vengeance on the oppressors. Because of the ensuing horrible reputation, these taxes tended to renamed and complicated, but we are still paying them under a multitude of other names and valuation issues.
Someone who possesses unused land that remains unused is being productive. He has made a judgement call that the time is not yet right for its highest and best use, and is retaining its readiness for that use. It is such judgements that make capitalism work, by providing meaningful prices.
The people implementing these taxes felt that vacant and underutilised land should be promptly put to some good use. When it became obvious that it was not being promptly put to some good use, they intervened further, with even worse results, and the taxes we have now are in large part descended from the ensuing mess.
A tax on the unimproved capital value of the land is in fact a less bad tax, But like any tax, you cannot push it too far, or bad things happen, and you try to fix those bad things, and that just makes a bigger mess.
History would suggest that the long term Laffer limit for a tax on land is one that reduces the price of land to about two thirds of the value it would have untaxed. Which is a fair bit higher than the Laffer limit on most other taxes, which appears to be about five to ten percent.
Ten percent, what a dream figure. Here you have:
– income tax 40-50%
– vat tax 10-20%, mostly 20%
– wealth tax 30% on an assumed return of 1% on savings, 6% on investments
– real estate property tax 0.2%
There’s more, naturally. But these are the biggest.
>where is Japanese silicon?
There *used* to be Japanese silicon

But, in a manner of speaking, it was killed by the same people who would be killing American silicon, too, when they crashed the economy of their vassal state on purpose in the late 80’s.

(My commenting theme today seems to be “don’t bet crazily on western tech supremacy”.)
US is big enough that its economy is largely self sufficient, and tariffs would only make it more self sufficient, at which point it no longer becomes a steady source of income for government functions. LVT alone is not sufficient as seen in what governments actually do to finance themselves. Ultimately some form of productivity has to be taxed to have a reliable funding of standing armies/security apparatus.
A tax on business in the form of dividend paid out by special ‘sovereign shares’ fund would create an incentive for the sovereign to see business remain profitable due to having a direct stake in ownership. Not so different from Sovereign wealth funds which have worked out remarkably well for monarchies. The difference being that the stake is much more hands off and less apt to be directly meddled with. Think of it as being a modernized vassal tax. The sovereign collects his tax from business subjects and doesn’t ask too many questions on how profits were produced.
Only works if you can trust the SWF caretakers. For instance, Jho Low blew Malaysia’s SWF on hookers, blow, and (if memory serves) funding The Wolf of Wall Street.
Actually, it might not work even then. We are seeing some good results right now but in the end a mid SWF in a hypothetical large pack of fat SWFs will converge into an index fund, at best.
* Taxes should be ON products and NOT on resources
And no you don’t want people to be able to hold out on selling vacant land or valuable undersea land when it could be used more efficiently in other ways so yes the LVT is superior because it forces sale to developers and also because the LVT is in harmony with the natural law.

Israel’s greatest weakness is its obsession with individual lives. They should have flooded the tunnels with nerve gas on day one, then flattened every building in Gaza, wiped out its entire population down to the last crying baby, and gassed the tunnels again just to be sure. They’d lose the hostages of course, but no one would kidnap another Jew ever again.
This certainly takes one back to the news around 2000 when a young Putin was pacifying Chechnya and Dagestan. I still remember a BBC (I think) reporter on the ground saying something to the effect off, “er, as we can see, the army is apparently just flattening the village behind me and that’s that”.
During a shocking mass hostage situation in a Moscow theater they tried to go the humane way with sleeping gas, but apparently it was for over a 100 hostages a sleep-forever gas. Stronger stuff than expected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisis
In the end, this all worked, at least for now, with Kadyrov becoming a loyalist Seigneur with mostly free reign in his Chechen fiefdom in return. If statistics are to be believed, today’s Chechnya has the astounding fertility rate of 2.7, which makes it the absolute leader in geographical Europe.
My fav Chechen wedding vid, from their Kazakhstani diaspora. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbN6YFJw3cc Each female circles slowly the dance floor perimeter, while spinning occasionally or doing sexy wrist movements, while a stiff and rigid male pursues her whilst showing off dance moves, and periodically doing some eagle-spread thing with arms, which is not unlikely some mountain folk eagle archetype thing. Around 16.40 this ice queen young milf in black has a go. Subtle but sensual.
Everyone there seems to be heaving an excellent time, but to be honest, this vibe of “Gimli the thug life wigger” given off by the men is not something I’d enjoy having present anywhere I myself live.
We unfortunately have the inherent problem that the supersensitive but four million years out of date female alpha radar is tuned to detect something very like “Gimli the thug life wigger”.
From the seventeenth century to the early nineteenth, the solution to this problem was the armed gentleman, who combined both characteristics — alpha male as shows up in the less sensitive, but more up to date, male alpha radar, and alpha male as shows up in the supersensitive, but horrifyingly out of date, female alpha radar. (Two alpha males, each declaring themselves to be the other’s humble servant, thus signalling to males modern alpha, and to females signalling two dangerous alphas in cohesion.) Despite coverture, they had a problem then, and we have a much worse problem now.
My compromise, and I don’t claim to be masterfully good at it, but I do it better than some, is to play the gentleman adventurer who if pushed, can and will kill people. Which is roughly what they had going back in those days — they did not rely on coverture by itself. A more gentlemanly and dignified way of implying the potential for terrible violence. But to really work, you need cohesion with other alpha males that females also perceive as dangerous.
Simon Templar, “The Saint”, in the books of Leslie Charteris was a supreme potentially lethal gentleman adventurer; Captain Blood in Raphael Sabatini’s books too. One could argue Jean Luc Picard in the original TNG was a more cerebral and restrained version of that.
These days this archetype seems to be missing, with mainstream male identities being a) toxic, b) toxic but controlled (good zogbots), c) impotent. In the newer Star Treks Picard was rewritten into someone who used to be a toxic good zogbot, and is today impotent.
One could argue the ageing Tom Cruise is the last guy maintaining elements of this archetype in his Mission Impossible series. Itself a 1960s franchise.
Perhaps in some of the spaces of gamer culture is where make-belief elements of the lethal gentleman adventurer archetype persist.
Having personal interaction with a few young adult Jews (‘reformed’ and secular) and seeing that they are among the most indoctrinated people in the entirety of GAE. Worse, they don’t even realize it. Even Blacks, on some intuitive level, know and feel that all those Black history months/DEI/reparations are some form of grift because they are capable of joking about it in a friendly chill manner if they like you. Not Jews. They see Nazis everywhere while simultaneously advocating genocide of Palestine far harsher than anything Old Testament would proscribe… which I could understand and somewhat appreciate if not for the hysterical hypocrisy in which they conduct themselves.
I was well aware of the above in theory, but practical in person experience is really something else.
Please, instead of sending the (((leftists))) to Israel, do us all a favor and just kill them all. The zionist regime’s hasbara shills will kvetch at the top of their lungs, but red-blooded Israelis will not mind Total Leftist Death.
The name of Cominator will echo through eternity.

Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?… I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
I don’t know how y’all are so confident about what the “best” method of taxation is. It would seem to be pretty complicated.
Anyway, I’m not at all convinced that taxes are necessary. The cliches are “Taxes are the price we pay for civilization” and “Without taxes the government would receive no revenue would collapse.” Nonsense. In 2022 Americans paid $2.1 trillion in individual income taxes alone; that neglects all other taxes such as corporate taxes, sin taxes, tariffs, etc. …And yet we somehow still found room to give $569 billion to charity.
(The $569 billion comes from the first bullet point at the link, “Americans gave $557.16 billion in 2023. This reflects a 2.1% decline from 2022,” and doing the math.)
Also, things like USAID could not happen with purely voluntary funding of the government.
In 2023 the federal government alone grabbed $2.9 trillion and yet those cunts have somehow managed to rack up debt of $36.2 trillion, as of yesterday, and rising astoundingly fast:
https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/debt-to-the-penny/debt-to-the-penny
This is not sustainable, so the argument that “We can’t forego taxes or everything will crash” is beside the point.
How much of this “debt” is real, and how much is fake?
Compound interest on loans count as “fake” here.
The proposed distinction between fake and real is pointless. Debt is real if you can be forced to pay or suffer if you fail to pay.

Trump of course needs to ignore the courts at some point openly rather than softly but I rather liked this meme of the female jesuit tool.
He has been ignoring the courts so far. The supremes have sent him a memo: “Please pretend we matter”. I was not expecting that.
The initial ruling massively violated law and precedent in a multitude of ways, which the supremes have been reluctant to address. Wrong jurisdiction, wrong legal form of order. The judge in question simply lacks authority to rule on contract disputes with the federal government, and if he did have that authority, still would not have had authority to simply issue an order demanding payment of funds. If he had had jurisdiction, an order compelling payment of funds would have had to have been preceded by hearings and stuff, which he did not bother with. A judge is required to pretend it is a judicial process, not a simple exercise of executive power by a judge, and he skipped all that and went directly to the outcome. The finding of the supremes is that the judge is required to pretend to have a judicial process, and Trump is required to pretend that it is a judicial process.
I doubt that either one is going to pay any attention.
Ignoring them is a good first step, if he does it, but ultimately Trump will either have to establish his authority by publicly refusing to comply or else witness his entire administration go up in smoke and his family and associates be purged. No way around it.
you said a few years ago:
You clearly aren’t claiming that women are superior to Men in any intellectual respects to Nurturing as understood in psychophysiological cultivation, they’re only superior in a limited capacitance at household affairs and that too under the guidance of the Paterfamilias exemplified in the Husband backed by the Authority of God.
Here’s what Nietzsche had to say:
“Stupidity in the kitchen, woman as cook, the ghastly absence of intelligent thought in taking care of the nourishment of the family and the man of the house! Woman understands nothing about what food means, and she wants to be cook! If woman were a thinking creature, then, as cook for thousands of years, she’d surely have found out the most important physiological facts, while at the same time she’d have had to take ownership of the art of healing! Because of bad female cooks and the complete lack of reason in the kitchen, the development of human beings has been held up for the longest time and suffered the worst damage. Even today things are little better. A speech for fashionable young ladies.”
But you might be correct that women are superior at domestic work compared to Men
What I’m really curious about and take offense to is this:
“Everything men do, we do for women.”
How do you know for this to be true? Are there no Transcendental, Hypertranscendental, Indeed aspirations that a Man has which are purely intellectual, abstract & divorced from the Telluric Sphere? How can you proclaim this as a Transcendental Casual-empirical statement in the abstracta as a prothetic proclamation on human nature (Natura Humanum Nomologicum) itself as an Immutable statement? Isn’t this statement universalization of a Allzumenschliches cognition? Does a King do everything for a dog with lesions that serves him? How can the Superior do everything for the inferior (in intellectual respects inferior) to an Illimitably Omnideterminative extent that it can be proclaimed that everything in all casual determinations that Man does is for the sake of a trifling sow? Women are inferior to Man in every aspectophenomenologically perceptible & imperceptible spirituometaphysical aspect, yes Man does build civilization for women but he does it to rule over women not for the *sake* of women per se
You say that a woman lives with a man indissolubly under his authority, and serves him sexually, reproductively, and domestically, that this is the most vital and important thing for both men and women which is true both phraseologically & spirituoaletheiologically but it can be better phrased (on all levels sententialis phrasis grammaticalis)
“the most vital and imperative thing for both Men and women is that a women serves under and subordinate to a Man and Indissolubly serves him under his Undiminishably Indissoluble authority, serving him sexually, reproductively, and domestically”
Yes but is there truly nothing, NOTHING more important for a Man than households life, nothing? No ambition Transcendental or Mundane that is more important?
Imperishability is more important than mere perpetuation, so Imperishability is more important, that is My counterfactual to your proposition.

Explain your predication
That everything men do, we do for women, is not inconsistent with the existence of transcendental aspirations that women are unlikely to comprehend. Indeed, game 101: Make your mission, not your woman, your priority. Women love that.
If you go out in a blaze of glory without reproducing, you have failed, but if you are willing to go out in a blaze of glory, you will probably get quite a bit of action before you go.
Newton wasn’t seeking women for sure. St Paul wasn’t after women. Looks like ambition is the chicken that arrives before the egg. Women seek ambitious men, especially those that have past success, because those men tend to end up with more access to resources. Men became more and more ambitious and focused on goals, because the side effect of chasing them led to higher socioeconomic status and resources. In a way, the will brought both men and women along for the ride.
Yes. Worldly, personal ambitions get you worldly, personal rewards. Transcendental ambitions, if they are truly transcendental, not so much. Not being materialistic whatsoever, I believe that is exactly as it should be.
Gay, homosexual faggots prefer being rewarded by Man than by God (it’s the sin of pride, at root), hence they all vie for the role of Pope, literal or metaphorical.
“ME ME ME LOOK AT ME RESPECT ME GIVE ME MONEY SUCK MY DICK WORSHIP ME LOOK HOW HIGH STATUS I AM ME ME ME ME ME.” That’s what their inner monologue sounds like. Truly I tell you, they have their reward.
10.7 and its aftermath plus spending countless hours on ketamine just made me appreciate and Praise The Lord, HALLELUJAH, for every single second that I am alive. Everything else? Pure bonus.
I want you to have all the money and orgasms in the world – so that I won’t have to. No, I don’t expect the envy-motivated to understand this mentality. They lack gratitude. They are not grateful to God for existing and for existence.
Anyway, that’s exactly why I have no desire to head any priesthood. Look at the Catholic Church. Prideful faggots, the lot of them. They are only in it for the status and the boipussy. They are not grateful to God for existing and for existence.
Numbers 11:29.
The hypocrites say, “I am holier than thou, therefore I shall rule thee.” If they were actually holier than thou, rather than the exact opposite, they would have absolutely no desire to rule thee, but rather to serve thee. Jesus Christ and Saint Paul were right. Roman Catholicism is a heresy, and celibate priesthoods should be prohibited.
For priests, recruit well-functioning normies with healthy families. People who would have high status, or at least decent status, regardless of the priesthood; high-functioning normies who don’t need the priesthood to gain any status in their communities, as they are already well-respected.
Transcendental ambitions need not expect worldly rewards.
The Catholic Church is a bioleninist project – misfits and faggots of the world, unite! Now their countries miserably fail to reproduce because of their 100% toxic memes, so naturally, instead of fixing the memes, they flood Europe with INFINIGGER upon INFINIGGER upon INFINIGGER – and claim that this is the will of God.
God doesn’t recognize them as His at all.
What the heretics don’t get, probably cannot biologically get, is that doing God’s will is ultimately its own reward. Sure, you reap the fruits of adherence to Divine Law in the form of a prosperous civilization (conversely, abandon Divine Law and soon enough you won’t be all that very prosperous), which is no doubt a great reward and motivator in and of itself, as God intended; but ultimately
dyingliving with the knowledge that God is pleased with you, well, what can be more spiritually gratifying than that?Doing God’s Will is the whole of the Law.
Psalm 111:10:
Ecclesiastes 12:13:
Nobody gives a damn about your stupid, GAY theologies, Nikolai. Your priesthood is not keeping God’s commandments; therefore it shall surely perish.
1 Timothy 4:
Was this written about subversive Mossadniks, or about the heretical Church? Jim suggested, “Fix or replace Christianity.” We are now fixing it, though the heretics will falsely claim that we are replacing it.
(Because what about MUH DOCTRINES, why don’t you adhere to MUH DOCTRINES, you won’t be saved unless you adopt MUH DOCTRINES, am I right Nikolai?)
Roman Catholicism is not Biblical and not Godly.
I agree, seems like I miscomprehended this basic insight, just to be clear I don’t wish to go out in a blaze of glory without reproducing because that would be incredibly empty and My sexual urges are insuppressible, I understand the Congruence between the Highest Supremum Omnitemporal Transcendental, Supramundane, Transmundane, Supernal, Imperishable, Immaterial, Incorporeal, Transcosmic, Transtemporal, Logos/Logologoumenon, Supraformal, Supereudaimonic, Superbonitatem, Superlucidale, Superperfectissimo, Supersubstantivum, Infinitarum Infinitissime, Actuosissimum God and the Telluric/Temporal/Earthly/Terrestrial instantiation of His Godliness being successful civilization backed by robust paternalistic/patristic/Patrimonalist state religion, Patriarchialism, cooperation equilibration, offspring, order, Negentropy, Isentropy, deductive formalism, empiricism, Peircean Pragmaticism, game-theoretical mathematicism as well as the scientific method made high status & Insuperable on earth once more.
I’ve lurked for a few years and have voraciously read your work, I’ve been magnetized by how your behavioral/game theoretical/Patristic Augustinian/Pauline Christianity insights on women mirror their behaviour perfectly in terms of astute modelling, cogency and advice on optimal game-theoretical strategic tactically rational behaviour to tame the shrew etc, one thing I haven’t however noticed you elaborate much upon is modelling the behaviour of General Butt Naked, Jeremy Meeks and so on, you’ve given plenty of advice on how to behave like an alpha and on alphadom itself as a scientific behavioral category, but you haven’t elaborated much on how “Natural Alphas” specifically people like Meeks, Butt Naked behave, please teach Me how to act like Jeremy Meeks, General Butt Naked etc while still adhering to natural law/Iusnaturalem, I’m magnetized by their ability to get as much pussy Illimitably as they wish to

In the Chinese video, they depict a world in which the central highest authority of the party has commanded “socialism with Chinese characteristics”, which bears a striking and suspicious resemblance to capitalism, but the rank and file of the party and the upper reaches of society are recalcitrantly misinterpreting this as existing socialism, and running dead on implementing it. (Which depiction seems consistent with reality.)
The protagonist and hero is chasing after a chick like a lost puppy dog, and she keeps pushing him away. Meanwhile political and economic drama happens, which political and economic drama has a suspicious resemblance to a lecture on the market economy and all that. In response to the drama, the protagonist forgets about the chick and focuses on his mission, which is to get rich, make everyone around him rich, and advance the Chinese economy into the modern era. She then chases after him like a lost puppy dog.
Red pilled (for China) on sex. The marriage night is conspicuously lacking in consent. Purple pilled on economic theory.
a little girl gets lecherous for teacher.
But the important thing for us is that the party addressed a recalcitrant government through the media and the masses — told them to go ahead with capitalism even if they faced resistance. It is a lesson that Trump could take to heart.
” while at the same time she’d have had to take ownership of the art of healing! ”
There are certain aspects of alternative medicine I do think women are better at. I had really really terrible neck pain at one point. It was absolutely cured by a female acquaintaince of mine (ex stripper and masseuse ie probably a prostitute but I hadn’t known her that way and she refused any money) giving me a massage at a bar. The aspects of healing arts women are better at are more intuitive than scholarly though. Otoh women are not and have never been generally well qualified to do the extremely stressful (it has been noted this is one of those things primary psychopaths can be really good at if they can get through the boring academic work since they basically don’t have a stress response) job of dangerous surgeries.
I’m not a Nietzschean as Nietzsche’s Philosophy leads a human being abysswards (Abgrundwärts) as he himself said best, as his Weltanschauungenphilosophie & Transzendentalephilosophie lacks God, it consequently becomes Omnichaosmotic Entropic & Wistful for the unattainable without any of the Telesmata/Social Technology of an organized Religion (i.e. Imperishability, Eternities, Omnitemporal Existence)
He himself admitted this although in Poetological language:
“Still! Still! Ward die Welt nicht eben vollkommen? Was geschieht mir doch?
Wie ein zierlicher Wind, ungesehn, auf getäfeltem Meere tanzt, leicht, federleicht: so —
tanzt der Schlaf auf mir… — Was geschah mir: Horch! Flog die Zeit wohl davon? Falle
ich nicht? Fiel ich nicht — horch! in den Brunnen der Ewigkeit?… „— wann, Brunnen
der Ewigkeit! du heiterer schauerlicher Mittags-Abgrund! wann trinkst du meine Seele in
dich zurück?“ (IV „Mittags“, KGW VI 1, 338: 23, 24; 339: 1, 2; 340: 7 – 9; 341: 5, 6),
or:
“Still! Still! Did not the world become perfect just now? What is happening to me? As a
delicate wind dances unseen on an inlaid sea, light, feather-light, thus sleep dances on
me…. What happened to me? Listen! Did time perhaps fly away? Do I not fall? Did I not
fall – listen! – into the well of eternity?…. “When, well of eternity? Cheerful, dreadful abyss of noon! When will you drink my soul back into yourself
“All anew, all eternally, all entangled, ensnared, enamored
– oh, then you loved the world. Eternal ones, love it
eternally and evermore; and to woe too, you say: go, but
return! For all joy wants – eternity. (323)
– Alles von neuem, Alles ewig, Alles verkettet, verfädelt,
verliebt, oh so liebtet ihr die Welt, –
– ihr Ewigen, liebt sie ewig und allezeit: und auch zum
Weh sprecht ihr: vergeh, aber komm zurück! Denn alle
Lust will – Ewigkeit!
A path that ascended defiantly through stones, malicious,
lonely, not cheered by herb or shrub – a mountain path
crunched under the defiance of my foot. Striding silently
over the mocking clatter of pebbles, crushing the rock that
made it slip, my foot forced its way upward. Upward –
defying the spirit that drew it downward toward the abyss,
the spirit of gravity, my devil and archenemy. Upward –
although he sat on me, half dwarf, half mole, lame,
making lame, dripping lead into my ear, leaden thoughts
into my brain.
“O Zarathustra,” he [a dwarf] whispered mockingly, syl-
lable by syllable; “you philosopher’s stone [stone of the
wise], you slingstone, you star-crusher! You threw your-
self up high; but every stone that is thrown must fall. Sen-
tenced to yourself and to your own stoning – O Zarathus-
tra, far indeed have you thrown the stone, but it will fall
back on yourself.”
Then the dwarf fell silent, and that lasted a long time. His
silence, however, oppressed me; and such twosomeness is
surely more lonesome than being alone. I climbed, I
climbed, I dreamed, I thought; but everything oppressed
me. I was like one sick whom his wicked torture makes
weary, and who as he falls asleep is awakened by a still
more wicked dream. But there is something in me that I
call courage; that has so far slain my every discourage-
ment. This courage finally bade me stand still and speak:
“Dwarf! It is you or I!”
For courage is the best slayer, courage which attacks; for
in every attack there is playing and brass.
[…]
Courage, however, is the best slayer – courage which at-
tacks: which slays even death itself, for it says, “Was that
life? Well then! Once more
And such words, however, there is much playing and brass.
He that has ears to hear, let him hear”
In any case what he seems to be saying in the statement on women is that women are slightly less intelligent on average and have a narrower distribution & capacitance, he’s just saying it in a cruel way (although he might be sociobiologically correct) because of his own involuntary celibacy.
As I said in https://blog.reaction.la/culture/lancelot-guinevere-romance-and-the-red-blue-purple-black-and-white-pills, this is a bad reaction to a bad sitatuation.
Is that supposed to be a link in the last line?

How did the feminist anti-marriage anti-life memes end up infecting the Germans?
A problem with the Germans is that they were never really a country, more a collection of states. And Lutheranism is more passive in comparison to Calvinism. So more easily divided and conquered.
If they were easily divide and conquered, there would have been less crazy forms of protestantism, would have ended up with one, and far more catholicism. Somehow the leftist memes from the frogs and the britbongs infected the kraut world, and I want to know the actual process of it happening. Who was there dancing to leftist memes and winning.
Well, they did not, exactly. Lutheranism had the same propensity to leftism as other forms of Protestantism — if anything more so, remember the peasant result. Way worse than Cromwell’s problem with the levellers, but much the same causes leading to the same outcomes. This leftism eventually manifested in postChristian form as Volkism, of which the most famous form is Nazism.
When Germany was defeated in World War I, they got a thinly disguised government of foreign occupation imposed on them, the same sort of carpetbaggers who looted Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union, and this lot imposed anglosphere leftism, Judeo Bolshevism, and Anglosphere leftism filtered through the Jews. Roman Catholicism has always been blue pilled for the past nine centuries, due to the Lavender Mafia, and with the Weimar crowd ruling the world and Germany, slithered further to accommodate them.
This eventually led to a knockdown fight between indigenous leftism with Lutheran roots, Anglosphere leftism with Puritan roots, and Bolshevist leftism with Jewish roots. Indigenous leftism won, and Roman Catholicism slithered from Anglosphere leftism and Bolshevism, to Volkish leftism.
Fidelis, you might enjoy Lothrop Stoddard’s “Into The Darkness,” 1940.
What is the mechanism exactly? What makes Lutheranism more prone to disorder than Orthodox Christianity? The context here is Nietzsche blackpilling and clearly reacting to leftism in the Church. How did it happen there?
When it comes to peasant reactions, isn’t that just from a sudden destabilizing in power?
If you were Wilhelm I, how would you have arrested this process?
Roman Catholic Church had a lot of money and power. Was corrupt, decadent, and heretical. Sincere Christians revolted, and wound up grabbing a whole lot of that money and power.
Well, protestants who missed out on the loot think, lets revolt some more. That applecart spilt a whole lot of apples, lets keep knocking over apple carts.
There were lots of good reasons why the Roman Catholic applecart needed to be knocked over. But if one applecart goes down, people start looking for reasons to knock over some more applecarts. Broken Window effect.
Main thing that was wrong with the Roman Catholic Church is that it coveted, and still covets, that which is Caesar’s. So naturally Caesar rightly picked up most of the goodies, and Caesar appointed the Catholic priests who had revolted to be the priesthood of his replacement state religion. So they picked up some of the goodies. But a whole lot of protestants said to themselves, “Hey, we should have those goodies, including the stuff that Caesar picked up.”

Insist that academics be married men with well behaved children. This would have prevented Immanuel Kante and all the others.
OK, Heidegger, who was one of the worst, had a marriage and a son, so he might have squeaked in but the son was the product of his wife’s adultery, so I am pretty sure that Heidegger was not
“One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;”
He would have passed Paul’s one wife criterion, but not the “ruleth well in his own house” criterion. No biological children, and a gravely dysfunctional family.
If you dig through the intellectual and cultural roots of twentieth and nineteenth century leftism, it is all disgusting perverts and childless weirdos the whole way through.
You’re some sort of tech guy so you should grok the analogy: trying to predict the exact mechanism of action for leftism is like trying to predict exactly how and when bugs will creep into your program. The mechanism can’t be known in advance, is often hard to identify even in retrospect, and in most cases you can’t even know exactly what form it will take or even clearly communicate what the issue is without a ton of obscure, dense diagnostic information that no layman would understand.
Leftism is “lack of correctness” in social technology, it’s anything that permits a break in cooperate-cooperate equilibrium, and the explanation for how it happened often boils down to a dozen or more interconnected factors that, individually, seem relatively harmless, but interact in negative ways that no one predicted or could have easily predicted. If it’s in a particularly bad state then fixing it is often a matter of rolling back to something that worked and starting over from there with a fundamental change in design.
What we can say pretty definitively is that the signs were there long before Wilhelm came to power, in German Idealism and other German philosophy. Nietzsche ruins 1 in 5 college kids, and Leibniz and Kant had given way to Fichte and Hegel. The rot didn’t set in primarily through explicit religion, it set in primarily through philosophy, through the academic tradition, not unlike it did here. Academia of course has tie-ins to the church, being a priestly discipline and all, but it’s not the ministers you need to keep an eye on – not initially, anyway.

Healthy memeplexes come from healthy memes and healthy memes come from healthy people. As always it comes down to the question of personnel, and needing your own people to be in charge of the meme-generating nodes of civilization. That might be the literal church, but more often it is some other entity claiming to speak on the church’s behalf or act with its authority, especially academic institutions. If those nodes get infected by leftism, then everything gets infected by leftism; it just took a lot longer to spread back then because information in general spread much more slowly.
Excellent post, as usual.
Well, actually, leftist memeplexes are often “clusters” that go together, where several disparate memes tend to be flawed in a similar manner; their designed or accidental combination makes the whole more significant than the sum of its parts, sometimes in unpredictable ways, and sometimes in predictable ways. I believe that certain common phenotypes are naturally predisposed to this, that, or the other cluster of leftist memes, in ways that can be predicted, and have been predicted by ancient observers of humanity.
But you are right in that as history unfolds, new clusters come about that might not have been predicted or noticed by the ancients, thus possibly requiring novel remedies.
During the holy wars of the seventeenth century, the shill tests got longer and long, until, with the thirty nine articles, they turned into book length exams.
There is no end to the forms that heresies can take, and the core of all the modern leftist heresies are valorizing covetousness and envy, and making themselves God, by claiming that reality is socially constructed, so that they can, for example socially construct a man into a woman, and the races of man into one race.
Right now they are trying to socially construct artillery barrels, artillery shells, rockets, and drones, and finding it strangely ineffectual.

Daddy Scarebucks said:
What we can say pretty definitively is that the signs were there long before Wilhelm came to power, in German Idealism and other German philosophy. Nietzsche ruins 1 in 5 college kids, and Leibniz and Kant had given way to Fichte and Hegel. The rot didn’t set in primarily through explicit religion, it set in primarily through philosophy, through the academic tradition, not unlike it did here. Academia of course has tie-ins to the church, being a priestly discipline and all, but it’s not the ministers you need to keep an eye on – not initially, anyway.

I kind of agree that while the German Idealists were good philologists, linguists, writers, glossologists, they weren’t good logicians, mathematicians, enginners or even philosophers, Metaphysicians etc Schopenhauer disliked most of them (He despised Hegel, Schelling, Fichte, Jacobi, Schleiermacher, but he liked Kant himself, Schulze, Wolf as in Friedrich August Wolf not Christian Wolff, Goethe, Lichtenberg, Boheme, Leibniz etc)
Leibniz however can’t be blamed for Leftism, He’s the most Blameless, Unblameable, Matchless, Insuperable, Unequaled, voluminous, Polymathic, Polyglottic, Polyglotic, Hypererudite, Totiscient, Potent, Dynamic, Pluriharmonic, Plurimereological & Holistic Western thinker to ever exist.
Look up the 1000 page Leibniz’s Correspondence in Science, Technology and Medicine (1676 –1701) recently published by James O’Hara to understand what Leibniz was, maybe the world would be better off if it was spared Immanuel Kant and the Hohenzollerns killed him but it would surely not be better off without the sui generis, sui juris, sui adjunctis, sui insuperabilis unsurpassed intellect known as Leibniz.
Agree with everything else you’ve said it really is Kantianism & Hegelianism, if Kantianism is Lympheadenoma, Hegelianism is Carcinoma.
Kangyura:
Wasn’t blaming him. When I said, “Leibniz and Kant had given way to Fichte and Hegel”, the implication was that Leibniz and Kant were the high point of Teutonic philosophy; Fichte and Hegel represented the reversion to leftism, which was in full swing before the Kaiser came to power.
Kant is more of a tragic/polarizing figure, like Hobbes in the Anglosphere. They both set out to do good (Critique of Pure Reason being an essential foundation), not to produce weapons-grade leftism, but due to a combination of false or ambiguous premises, internal contradictions and general over-abstraction, weapons-grade leftism was the inevitable outcome leading ultimately to shit-flinging nihilism as the logical conclusion.
If you go back to Kant (or Hobbes) and stay there then what you have is quite functional, but leftism never stays in one place.
Jim:
True enough – though I’d add spite to the list.
More importantly, sometimes the heresy is a retcon, or not obvious until it is retconned. As with my Hobbes example above, I think if you teleported him to the present and showed him the GAE, the wokeness, the anarcho-tyranny and so on, he would be the first to say it is not what he meant by Leviathan. His philosophy led there via a long and circuitous route that is hard to see without the benefit of hindsight; I admit I haven’t read him cover-to-cover but from what I have read, his plain words don’t reveal envy or spite to me.
I think there is some master/student mechanism modulating the process. Aristotle had his Plato; Hobbes had his Locke, Kant led Prussia to Hegel and America to Rawls. The original guy, the master, produces a work that, in the right hands, might actually be a force for good; but then the wrong guys (very often faggots or other spiteful mutants) get their grubby paws on it and use it to produce mountains of excrement that bury centuries of real social tech and civilizational progress.
I’m not sure if it’s always going to be possible to kill emerging leftism in the womb, so to speak. But it’s almost always possible to identify moments in history that should have lit a fire under the sovereign’s ass.
Germany’s iconic Clown World moment was probably the University of Jena issuing an honorary degree to Karl Marx; that’s when they should have decided the jig was up and burned it all down. That was all the way back in 1841, if La Wik is accurate; imagine how Prussia might have fared in the late 19th/early 20th centuries if William had laid siege to the university, banned and burned all Marxist and Post-Kantian literature, and executed all their sympathizers.
Exactly so. The inherent flaws of their philosophising was bound to lead where it led. But this was not obvious at the time. It is discernable only in distant retrospect. The Sovereign is not in a position to figure out such flaws and call them out. What the Sovereign can do, however, is to make sure that only men of good character are influential in working on such projects.
The Sovereign is the fount of all honours, mortal and divine. Divine honors granted by the Sovereign are influence in the state religion. When the sovereign grants such honors, he is trusting the beneficiary. Trust carefully, because you cannot verify.
There was a blind man who was in the habit of identifying any animal that was placed in his hands by touching it. Once they gave him a wolf cub. Even after stroking the animal he was not sure of its identity, so he said, ‘I am not sure whether it is the cub of a wolf or a fox or some similar creature, but I do know that this is not the kind of animal that should accompany a flock of sheep!’
LVT valuations do need to be and can be established through the market.
If sale prices equal LA (Land value) + IM (improvement value)
LA/SQM can be determined within a zone by looking at the gradient of how house prices increase with garden size at a fixed IM, which can be approximated through fixed square footage and age of house (comparing like for like but with different garden sizes).
This works, but only the LVT is not too high. If the LVT is too high, the factors that you are measuring to estimate the LVT will have less effect on price, and your LVT calculation becomes meaningless.
Whereupon you start modifying your method for calculating the tax base in ad hoc ways so it no longer much resembles the platonic ideal LVT that Georgists are imagining. Which is what happened the last time around.
Iowa taxes all agricultural zoned land according to its corn suitability rating. So you end up with lots of corn/beans rotation and hog/chicken confinements instead of foraging hogs and free range chickens. The land gets stripped of all trees and it’s humid AF.
Not all acres are equal. Not all gardens are equal. It’s not even close. I can grow ginseng in a forest on the right side of a grade, but not in the sun and not on the wrong grade. Oh, and if you plant ginseng it is mandatory to register with the state, regardless of quantity planted.
What’s better a bushel of corn or a pound of ginseng?
So, too, with housing. You don’t want to incentivize low value improvement because the mfing taxman says your house is more beautiful than your neighbor’s.
Tariffs are in fact a sales tax and, in our case, a global sales tax. Can the IRS collect from Wing Ding in Chengdu? No, but we can collect in the meat space port.
“Iowa taxes all agricultural zoned land according to its corn suitability rating. So you end up with lots of corn/beans rotation and hog/chicken confinements instead of foraging hogs and free range chickens. The land gets stripped of all trees and it’s humid AF.”
Yes not at all what I or Adam Smith or Henry George would advocate…
Theoretical low distortion taxes become a mess when applied in practice. This is not result of ideological impurity, it is because if you try to raise taxes too high, distortion inevitably ensues, and then they keep adjusting the tax code. They see people adjusting their behavior in unproductive or value destroying ways to minimize taxes, and then they try to “fix” the tax code to restore productive behavior, so that they can tax it. Which then opens up numerous new unproductive and value destroying ways of not having to pay taxes.
But the only way to avoid an LVT that anyone has found (that I’ve ever heard of) is not to hold onto land. Basically if you don’t have a profitable improvement that offsets the tax you don’t hold it ever…
Seems like the problem with LVT is generally is that the rentiers tend to be a very very powerful bloc in any society and they never stop lobbying for the code to be changed.
If you are trying to tax the “unimproved” value of the land, and almost all the land is improved, you don’t know what the unimproved value is, so you cannot actually tax it. So you tax something that you hope is “the unimproved value of the land”, and people figure out how you are guessing the “unimproved” value, and adjust their behavior accordingly.
And as a result land is not put to its highest and best use, and the city planners get agitated and increase their meddling.
One seemingly bullet proof way is to tax land on area and location. People can move but the land cannot. So that is not going to alter behavior in tax avoiding ways, right?. But all locations are not equal, and some locations get abandoned. No one wants the lots adjacent to the freeway, no one wants the lots near the low income housing project, and no one wants lots near abandoned lots. So you add complications to avoid the abandoned lots problem, and people start adjusting their behavior for those complications.
Really you only know the unimproved value of the land when there is a live customer who wants to build an improvement. And people very quickly figure out how the taxman is adjusting his guess of the “unimproved” value of the land on the basis of your improvement.

This was a Jewish war [*deleted*]
Indeed it was. But somehow you cannot name the specific Jews who brought this war about.
European leadership: speak harshly and carry no stick. I’m sure that will work out well. News estimates a decade before the stick has been built.
It will not be built, same as California rail. The era when leftists were institutionally capable of great industrial projects is long gone. And even if it were, who would wield the stick? No one wants to die for boomer pensions, infinite migration, and assorted faggotry.
Draftees generally don’t want to die and yet conscription works.
You don’t need a big stick to force conscripts. Look how it works in Ukraine. Police gladly grabs anyone they can find and force him into the army. Desertation is difficult and any attempt that is not entirely successful is lethal. As long as the police obeys government orders, it doesn’t matter much that no one wants to die for boomer pensions, infinite migration, and assorted faggotry.
Not 100% true in my opinion because the Ukrainian system relies on the hard core of true believers to terrorize the others into line. Those true believers are Nazis. Is the EU ready or able to raise a corps of Nazis to staff conscription offices, secret police, military police, and praetorian army units? If not, does it have any other way of raising those people? Looks to me like most Euro miltiaries still contain the old officer stock, and would be very unreliable in such circumstances, which is maybe the main reason Euro miltiaries have been allowed to decay so much and there is so much reluctance to rearm them in practice.
Most of fanatics among Ukrainian nationalists aren’t exactly Nazis. They can be more accurately described as Tolkienists – they believe that Russains are orcs and Russia is literally Mordor. Ukrainians in their worldview are fighting against the Forces of Darkness with the help of Free Men of the West. Battle may seem hopeless at times but supposed to end with the fall of Mordor/Russia and Ukrainians assuming their rightful place among the Free Men of the West. That’s why Trump’s actions are seen as betrayal – he supposed to be the leader of the Free Men of the West but doesn’t support their holy war and acts like he doesn’t even see much difference between holy warriors of Ukraine and vile Russian orcs.
On a side note, it pains me a little to say it, but seeing Russia as literal Mordor is not That crazy considering some of the events of the last century. And many Ukrainians being nuts is kind of understandable under the circumstances.
Allowing this through, though you have not taken the shill test requested in the moderation policy, because this does not seem like a standard much repeated shill script. If you continue to not take the shill test, going to put you on moderation.
The view that Russia was Mordor and Russians were orcs was unthought of until sometime after Maidan took power, and Maidan was a brutal totalitarian terror state. So people started believing this after Maidan, because most people will believe what power tells them to believe. So who was power telling them to believe this? Nazis were and are telling them to believe this.
How do these nazis end up so reliably controlled by satanic jewish priests? What is the actual process of creating such a group? How do the nazi fighters, who at least pretend to want an aryan ethnostate, tolerate the fact they’re doing the opposite? How do they actually maintain any cohesion this way?
Something something CIA paymasters is not enough detail for this, I find it too baffling.
Operation Gladio. Look it up.
Europe has plenty of hard core progressives. They are not capable to fight, but they’ll gladly shoot anyone for draft dodging. The are capable enough for policing the population as long as there is no organized violent opposition.
Russians Luhansk and Donesk had the advantage that they could use local organizations that were already there, e.g. police, provincial government, etc. Opposition in Europe would have to create such organisation from scratch or take over existing organisations. That is much easier to prevent than to destroy an armed organisation that is already there.
Shill test:
“What are the biological differences between blacks and whites, and why does this make it impractical for blacks and whites to live together under the same laws applying to them both equally? How and why, for example, did Detroit turn from the magnificent Paris of the East to a desolate abandoned empty ruin?”
Different human populations have (among other things) slightly different brain structures. That may be important for many things, including capability for abstract thought. While I don’t know that for sure, it seems very plausible to me that blacks are naturally a bit dumber, more impulsive and more lecherous than whites (on average). On the plus side they seem to have better sense of rhythm, which helps with music and are less prone to depression and self-doubt (though that maybe at least partially because of a lower average intelligence). Of course, there are many other differences, like at least some black populations being better at jumping or running but these are not as important.
For laws to be effective, they need to be understood by people they apply to. Thus, the dumber people are, the simpler laws need to be. Also, people more prone to crime or other misbehavior (for example, due to differences and time preference) may need harsher punishments to defer them. For these reasons, laws that are good for whites may be too complex for blacks and punishments sufficient to prevent misdemeanors among white people may be not always be sufficient for blacks. That said, I see no evidence that blacks and whites can’t live peacefully under the same legal regime. A good example is Rhodesia which was overall a successful country until it was destroyed by combined efforts of USSR and USA, as well as inner leftist enemies. I admit I don’t know enough about law enforcement in Rhodesia, but at least formally whites and blacks had the same rights and lived under the same laws. Rhodesia’s doctrine of “equal rights for all civilised men” seems to me much preferable to racial segregation.
Fall of Detroit is not unique, similar things (though perhaps not on the same scale) happened across America in other places with lots of blacks. As for reasons, I can think of at least four:
1. After desegregation, many of the more capable black people have left black communities to live among the whites instead. Not only remaining blacks where worse on average, but, perhaps more importantly, they were left without effective leadership and good role models for young people.
2. Leftist propagandists were able to convince many black people that all black’s problems are due to white racism. Blacks who believe it can’t diagnose their problems properly and lack motivation to improve themselves.
3. Because of black’s higher propensity to violent crime, effective policing is essential for cities with significant black populations. However, American leftists often hate police, furthermore, arresting a lot of blacks is often seen as racist.
4. Due to sexual revolution and related changes in social mores, stable families became rarer, at least among the working class people. Black families were hardest hit, perhaps due to biological differences. Among other things, blacks seem to have higher sexual drive, which makes maintaining monogamous relationships more difficult. Lower average intelligence also doesn’t help. As a result, many black boys grow without fathers which makes harder for them to grow into responsible adults.
Of those four reasons I listed a third one is probably the least important one, because as far as I know leftists weren’t always hostile to policing. I can’t really evaluate relative importance of other factors and there can be others that I didn’t think about.
Alexei, do you recognize that the “Maidan Revolution” of 2014 received much funding and support from America, i.e., the permanent unelected government within the State Department and CIA? Put aside for a moment historical events such as the Holodomor, and think about the Maidan Regime that was established in 2014. Do you understand who is behind it?
During Covid demonism there was a flood of vids of German zogbots instantly regressing to the classical swaggering along empty streets and getting into the faces of the few pedestrians “Your paperz pleeze”. French zogbots gleefully manhandling and cuffing shopkeepers who allowed their nose to poke over the mask. Australian zogbots performing outrageously sadistic acts on men, women, and youths.
Family members turned on each other. A fantasy reality took over, by the laws of which… well… all the red US states that dug their heels in and didn’t go all in into this, were punished for their primitivism by the inexorable laws of the science, and they all died, and thus the red states became depopulated wastelands, and there was no one left to vote wrongly, so only good people voted, and this is how the US got its first female president, because the anti-science committed mass suicide out of ignorance. Amazing no one, this fantasy reality still persists among clownworlders.
We could spin it that this was all due to the zogbots and most of society being pulled into a sort of “mass hysteria”, but even then this would mean that basically anything, in terms of symbols and implicit substance, can be used to produce results like this. As long as you get the propaganda structure right.
Varna is a high-quality poster.
Mossadnik, yes, I do know that Ukrainian nationalists received money from USAID. What about it? They had good reasons to want Yanukovych gone and I don’t think receiving help from abroad is automatically bad. They did (and to some extent still do) trust western leftists too much. Doesn’t make all Ukrainian nationalists Nazis. You certainly don’t need to be a Nazi to hate Russians. Ukrainian nationalism was always strongly anti-Russian because it first emerged as a separatist movement against the Russian Empire.
If Ukrainians had good reasons to want Yanukovych gone, Maidan would not have had to immediately implement a brutal totalitarian terror state to silence or eradicate anyone who wanted him back. Maidan has been a terrifyingly brutal despotism from day one. The opposition were not only imprisoned, but often murdered, or tortured in horrifying ways, and then murdered.
From the shocking, unrelenting, and extraordinary level of repression, from the routine use of torture against political opponents, we know that the overthrow of Yanukovych was overwhelmingly unpopular.
What happened in the Ukraine after Maidan sank the official narrative about color revolutions being spontaneous local uprisings for democracy rather than hostile armed interventions from outside to crush democracy. The US would not have abandoned its “democratic” pretences unless there was no other alternative to torture, terror, and murder.
(changing handle for fun)
I believe that not much positive can come out of nationalisms that are negative in essence – those that are centered on rejection of and separation from some other ethnicity/nation. Which, alas, is rather common. It looks to me that, as you say, Ukrainian Nationalism has been strongly anti-Russian for a long while; and all too many Ukrainians (but we don’t actually know how many) have subsequently fallen victim to CIA manipulation that created a whole weltanschauung for Ukrainian Nationalism that is not much distinguishable from old time Nazism, except Ukrainian Nationalists always hated Russians more than they hated Jews (or at least just as much), so it was all very convenient. Now look at the results – Ukrainians have become like Jews in the Bar Kokhba Revolt, and will likely end in a similar fashion. Was alliance with the Great Satan worth it, just to stick it to the Russians?
Don’t simp for faggot meme nationalists of a faggot meme country. Isn’t Ukraine just the Russian word for borderland?
“seeing Russia as literal Mordor is not That crazy considering some of the events of the last century”
lmao. Russia per se didn’t exist between 1917 and 1991, not just in the strict legal terms but in the sense of minimal ethnic Russian involvement at the top levels of government. Since 1991, Russia has evolved into a pretty normal high middle/low upper income country as far as most peoples’ lives are concerned.
Obviously there is some kind of “hook” – real or perceived – or the Ukrainian Neo-Nazis could not have been raised at all, but equally, they are being used. There was never any prospect of a fourth bloc in the world that is openly Nazi and consists only of Ukraine. And during this war, they have been forced to adopt gay marriage, which has always been wildly unpopular in Ukraine even with moderates.
“We could spin it that this was all due to the zogbots and most of society being pulled into a sort of “mass hysteria”, but even then this would mean that basically anything, in terms of symbols and implicit substance, can be used to produce results like this. As long as you get the propaganda structure right.”
On the other hand, near where I was living someone shot a security guard for telling him to put on a mask in early 2020 and the rules were quietly optional. There is a reason Ukraine enforcers are Nazis and not childless cat ladies and the panoply of defectives that Prog employs. They very deliberately chose a martial ideology appealing to martial men, to coopt them against their own interests. But that is hard to pull off. Possible only because Ukraine was an extraordinarily weak and fragmented society already – much weaker than Russia
Ukraine certainly sucks, but it isn’t totalitarian. Before Maidan it was just a very corrupt “banana republic” sort of country run by mafia-like groups, not that different from Russia (especially pre-Putin Russia). Maidan didn’t fundamentally change Ukraine’s regime, just added more political and ideological violence, as well as general instability and insanity.
I think people here overrate Russia and trust Russia’s official point of view a little too much. Just because some people are mutually hostile to your enemies, doesn’t mean they are in any way trustworthy.
We have plenty of evidence that political opponents have been tortured and murdered, and they started torturing and murdering the political opponents when Maidan happened.
As a result, there is no real political opposition inside the Ukraine and has been none since resistance to Maidan was crushed. Zero opposition due to torture and murder is totalitarian.
Before Maidan, opposition existed. After Maidan, no opposition. This is a fundamental change.
In Britain, the state has been asking family members to rat out other family members for politically incorrect prayer, so that they can jail people for crimethoughts within their own walls, but Britons can complain about this. Not seeing any complaining from within Ukraine. I saw someone complaining about being forced to speak in a made up language, because the Ukraine is rapidly changing the Ukrainian dialect to make it less similar to Russian. This surprised me, and then I discovered he had moved to a Russian controlled area before making that video.
When the state forces a new language down your throat, that is a bit totalitarian. When no one complains about it, that is totalitarian.
The language changes he was complaining about reveal the newness, artificiality, and very recent nature of the Ukrainian national identity. If it was a real nation, they would not be doing this stuff. If it had roots, they would be celebrating and hanging on to those roots, not manufacturing them right now.
Unity with Russia means unity with people who do not want Ukrainians dead. Rule by Maidan means rule by people not located in the Ukraine who have enormous grievances against Ukrainians. Those guys want Ukrainians dead, and are a fair way towards accomplishing it.
I don’t think Russia is “trustworthy” or necessarily friendly; it inherited a confused half-Soviet, half-restorationist ideology in 1991; Putin moved towards US Liberalism for many years; it is now fumbling towards Christian Nationalism under external pressure; Russia is by no means necessarily “our guy”. Nonetheless, being part of Russia would’ve clearly been an upgrade for Ukraine 2014-2022, and Russia was not then and is not now any kind of democide risk, those democides anyway being inspired by a mostly non-Russian and often anti-Russian left ideology.
This is a only a half-assed idea, but, what about having an opt-in Harberger tax as a choice for those who don’t want to pay the LVT as assessed by the government?
Harberger taxes have always struck me as evil and out of touch, but they make sense in some cases, and could be fair if only an optional alternative to the government estimated LVT.
The value assessments of land could be informed by the Harberger self-assessed values of other land (as well as sales).
A lot of undeveloped land would likely adopt this regime (since it’s more interchangeable with other land and not a tragedy if lost to a forced sale) and that would make it up for grabs for someone who has a more productive use for it.
This doesn’t solve the issue of separating land value from improvements, though.

“Most who are living in these fundamentalist polygamous groups and families, are treated as property, forced to work without pay, traded as daughters, coerced into having unwanted sex, and into giving birth to numerous children they can not care for.”
TREATED AS PROPERTY !!!
America has been taken over by wrinkly granny witches who fly on the broom and deliver poisonous candies – who got accidentally stuck inside male bodies, so became known as Cuckservatives.
Spiritual cucks should not tell free men what to do, and in fact should hsve their teeth broken.
This is called curbstomping.
Exactly so.
The FLDS members who practice polygamy are white niggers and I have no sympathy for them. They monopolize so many women that they have to discard their own sons as unwanted competition, placing them in compounds in the desert to leech welfare until the day they die. If monogamy is the price we pay for not having to treat my own flesh and blood like garbage, I gladly pay it.
Yes, as long as the sex ratio is about 1:1, monogamy will be pro-civilizational and Gnon-compatible, whereas non-monogamy will result in social dysfunction. However, the cuck-simps going after the Mormons couldn’t care less about civilization or Gnon or anything positive – they have Damsels-in-Distress to save from male sexual misbehavior. Which, generally speaking, is an utterly poisonous mentality, even if the males really do sexually misbehave.
I like the Mormons, but I don’t view them as having the Mandate of Heaven (not any more than Orthodox Jews, at any rate), since they have far too much weird stuff mixed in with the good old-fashioned Christian doctrines and social technologies. America is not going to be a Mormon Kingdom (though perhaps it will host such a thing on its soil, at least for a while), not any more than a Catholic or Orthodox Kingdom. It is Protestant Christianity, conceptualized through Jimian hermeneutics — the World understood as the Word, and all that — that will be the Cosmic Kingdom’s official faith. The assorted Trad-communities may or may not serve as models; but that’s exactly what they are – models of (more or less; sometimes more, and sometimes less, as in this case) functional social technologies in the 21st century, rather than the faith per se. One can admire some aspects of Islam, for instance, without becoming a Muslim. The Canon, at any rate, need not sanctify the Koran, or the Talmud, or the Book of Mormon, or any other non-Christian scripture; albeit whatever wisdom is contained therein (and whatever social technologies might be plausibly said to spring therefrom) ought not to be dismissed without at least some consideration.
Euro countries will enter UA announcing establishment of a backstop disinterested neutral self-defense-only demarcation line 100km behind the current skirmish line, RU will not go near nor cross the demarc.
[*deleted for insanity and delusion*]
This only works if the USA threatens to nuke Russia should it approach the demarcation line, the “Backstop” that the barking chihuahuas keep talking about.
In only works if, as with the Cuban missile crisis, nukes are part of the equation.
Russia is going to call that bluff. They have repeatedly said that they will, and almost all Russians support calling the bluff. The Europeans and the US already have many troops in the Ukraine, and Russia has been killing lots of them. More troops and having those troops openly run up the flag and wear national uniforms will change nothing.
Macron implies that the French will be backstopped by French nukes. If the threat is real, well, Russia has a lot more nukes than France.
If France uses a counterforce nuclear strike at Russian troops in the Ukraine who are attacking French troops, Russia at minimum engages in nuclear strikes within the Ukraine, and is likely to engage in a counterforce strike at French nuclear capabilities, which would kill tens of millions. The strike would not necessarily prevent all French nuclear weapons. Should France be able to strike back, and it is clear that France is striking back, expect erasure of all major French cities. If it is not clear who is striking back, expect a counterforce strike on all western nuclear capabilities.
Russian nuclear strikes within the Ukraine are unlikely to effectively deter the Global American Empire in exile, because they want all Ukrainians dead almost as much as they want Russians dead. If nukes are employed, it is going to escalate beyond the borders of the Ukraine one way or another way, sooner or later.
Russia is going to engage European troops in the Ukraine. Hence Macron’s nuclear rhetoric, and all the pleas for US “backstop”. What happens then?
Right on cue, news today, confirmed by Russians, that they hit a hotel in Zelenskyy’s hometown that had European and American soldiers/officials/whoevers in it. So yeah.
News is in on Gene Hackman’s death. Posting it here as it is of somewhat macabre interest.
Hackman had dementia.
Wife/caregiver dies of Hantavirus.
Hackman wanders around for a week without care until he dies. Bodies not discovered for a further 10 days based on pacemaker data.
Dog, locked in kennel without food or water, dies.
This is the price Americans must pay for turning their backs on the GNON-ordained joint family in favour of the cuckservative “nuclear family” degeneracy.
I read he had three children. And none of them contacted him in more than 17 days? That’s fucked up.
Apparently he had advanced dementia… not generally much point in contacting someone with dementia and they probably didn’t figure his wife would die before he did.
It is terribly sad dealing with someone who has dementia. The person you knew has died, but the body just keeps on breathing. You wind up mostly completing your mourning long before it is over. It is just so terrible. One just does not want to deal with it, but one has to. And one winds up grossly neglecting to do what should be done.

Practical: The arithmetic hash function may fall short of security target. Someone will fix this before we get to release time, or give updated parameters that reach the target, or release a competing product that is acceptable. Use modular design. When the issue is resolved, swap out the modules, keeping everything else.
Legal: They give the choice of either Apache or MIT. If you don’t outright copy-paste without attribution, like those other guys did, you should be okay. If your conscience burns you, donate some back to the authors. Or, as per practical, wait for a competitor to release something viable.

Any problems?
Recent advances have obsoleted that document. I am working a rewrite to accommodate new realities. Though this means that though the old document was dangerously bleeding edge, the new document is likely to bleed even more profusely.
Almost all of the pieces needed to make a useful application exist. Missing is Rs25519 over the snark finite field.
The basic outline is:
1. Schnorr signature over Rs25519 natively
2. Verify in plonky2/starky, also range checking, sum checking, both already implemented
3. Roll ups in plonky2 for transactions
4. You already have some idea of how you will keep the UTXO set from blowing out, which ties in with privacy
5. Messages on transactions, copy from bit message
Your documentation in some places implies a new coin, but in other places implies a Bitcoin side chain. I assume that this is one of the things that you will address in your new document.
Big number arithmetic over a relatively small finite field already exists in plonky2. There is an Ed25519 library but no Rs25519, so this could be some work, albeit rather mechanical. Big number arithmetic will still be rather slow as it needs to use 32-bit unsigned integers.
Some of the benchmarks for Ed25519 signatures are a little scary, like 30 seconds, not sure whether this is sign or verify. Software could deal with the fast native verify vs slow SNARK verify, if for any particular application (e.g. real-time messaging) this was a problem.
Useful libraries:
https://github.com/polymerdao/plonky2-ed25519
https://github.com/0xPolygonZero/plonky2-ecdsa
This scheme, plonky2, seems to be the stand out contender in the field. Quite a bit of thought has gone into its design, particularly in choosing the finite field.
Regarding your other reply: If this whole avenue of zk, snarks, and roll ups is utterly obsolete, please tell me so that I don’t invest any large amount of time into it.
The solution to “Missing is Rs25519 over the snark finite field” is don’t do that. Do something like mweb does.
There have been recent advances that I do not fully understand and have not absorbed.
The big, costly, and plonky2 incredibly complicated, operation is proving hashes inside a snark. (Thus proving that the inputs to the transaction were committed to the blockchain, and then committed to this transaction, without revealing what they were) There are three very large advances that have the potential to avoid, or greatly reduce, this enormous cost.
Poseidon hashes, which are far less costly to calculate inside a snark.
Verkle trees, which perhaps could avoid the need to calculate them inside the snark.
Folding, which can make proving verification of a verification far less costly.
These technologies radically change the picture in ways I have not yet entirely figured out.
The straight forward solution would be to use Poseidon hashes, and then fold the proof, rather than snark it. The solution using verkle trees is less obvious, and I am not sure it can be done with verkle alone. Perhaps verkle plus folding. Folding is not zero knowledge at all, but one can readily ensure that the knowledge one does not want lying around is discarded.
Okay.
FYI, Telegram founder Pavel Durov has apparently left France.
Implying he has given the Global American Empire in exile what it wants, for that was the ransom they demanded. Good thing we are using Bitmessage to discuss the project, not telegram.
Jim never assume your electronic messages aren’t being read by someone… unless you have an all chinese computer with all chinese internet the NSA can probably get into your stuff. And if you go all Chinese the Chinese (who probably won’t care unless you are plotting against Xi or something) will be able to read your stuff.
The term “end to end encrypted” is widely thrown around, but almost nothing described as end to end encrypted actually is. If you do not have the master secret to your encryption keys, it is not end to end encrypted. Bitmessage, however, does have the master secret locally, therefore guarantees no one is reading messages that they are not supposed to.
PGP also gives end to end encryption, but, by design, makes the metadata transparent, which is a disastrous error. The public keys contain far too much information, and the public keys are never reliably available.
The widely used technology for end to end encryption is ssh, but no one has built a messaging system around ssh. They should.
If all the parties to the conversation have their own master secret that really are under their control, and there are not that many parties to the conversation, you can assume no one is reading your messages.
The underlying technology asymmetric encryption is that if you are sending your messages to a public key, for example the bitmessage public key displayed on this blog’s main page, no one except yourself and the party possessing the master secret from which the public key is derived, can read your messages.
Speaking of Ukraine, it’s Army now has an adviser on gender issues. “The implementation of gender policy is one of the conditions for a state to join the European Union and NATO.” This will show those Russians and their traitorous American friends!

Purely from what I’ve observed from the globohomo media (and I haven’t been paying that much attention to the present situation regarding Russia/Ukraine) it seems like UK and France are trying to take up the role of the GAE headquarters and pretending that President Trump does not exist and what he says does not matter.
While NATO seems to be de-facto disbanded from the American perspective, the European countries seem to be pretending that everything is as usual and that Trump does not matter and America does not matter.
I saw a few frantic articles in the mainstream Indian newspaper/electronic media from European sources about how Ukraine should never be abandoned and how the dirt Goblin/coke addled-gnome is the greatest leader of the free world and so on.
I sense that the GAE and in effect NATO is unofficially and de-facto dissolved but Europe doesn’t want to recognize it yet.
Am I sensing this right or is something else going on?
The Global American empire is leaderless. They want to just ignore Trump and continue business as usual. And that is the plan, not just on the Ukraine, but on everything. Worked last time around.
But Trump and Doge have taken out key vertices, and intend to take out some more. This is a huge difference from last time around.
France has made nuclear threats against Russia.
Does France have working nukes and the delivery mechanism to detonate them within Russia?
Given a sorry state of much of Soviet-era equipment, I’d bet on French nukes being able to fly and explode where they should more than on Russian ones. Would be funny if neither actually work, though.
That Oreshnik missile seemed to work just fine.
Obviously Russian rockets work. We don’t know that French rockets work. We do know that British rockets don’t work and British nukes don’t work.
Russian rockets are failing to advance, but they are routinely used and routinely working, doing what they have always done. French rockets?
Russia is by far the world leader in nuclear technology. Which does not mean their bombs work, but does mean they have a way deeper pool of talent than france. Soviet era rockets just worked, and Russian rockets continue to just work.
France was second to Russia in nuclear technology, but they are now suffering from the same woke disease as everyone else, and their fission power system is falling apart. All the same ailments as Britain, just less advanced.
On the one hand, given France’s good record at maintaining high-tech projects like TGVs and the nuclear power plants powering them, I would certainly expect their nukes and delivery mechanisms to work rather well[1]. OTOH, “Soviet-era equipment” has been working shockingly well against even cutting-edge American wunderwaffen. The T-62s fucking ZOG shit from afar after being augmented with drone spotters were a beautiful sight to behold. It was like they woke up dragons sleeping in warehouses in Siberia. You may make the argument that Russian weapons are not innovating, but that would be moving the goalposts. Every party is fighting WWII right now, so that is no disadvantage.
[1] Based on our exposure to Russian nuclear tech in Kudankulam, I expect that Russians are at least at par with AREVA there, maybe behind Japan (lol).
Suones, welcome back. It has been a long time!
IIRC most recent French SLBM test succeeded whereas most recent US-UK test failed.
The French can no longer build nuclear power plants. The Russians can.
Which is an indication that their nukes are likely to work, and the French nukes likely to not work.
Jim I thought the French could still and actively did build nuclear power plants. When did they lose the capability?
Right now. They were last of the west building nuclear power plants. But now their power plants are missing their completion dates, then missing them again. The cost keeps going up, and the completion date keeps getting delayed. Maybe completions will happen, they were happening eventually very recently, and they might well continue. But it keeps taking longer and longer and costing more and more, and it is far from clear that existing projects in progress will ever be completed. Maybe they can still do it, but if they can, they are clearly finding it vastly more difficult than a little while ago.
This “alexei” is a (very) low quality neocon shill. Funny he managed to get through the filter…
I let him through because Russian IP, emailing through Russian mail system. Revealing a gigantic difference between Russian democracy and Ukrainian “democracy”.
Probably not located in Russia, but we see that a Russian email system does not look at what you are emailing to send the FBI onto your case.
>Russian IP, emailing through Russian mail system
Oh interesting. On a somewhat related note, rt.com uses googletagmanager.com. I’m not sure why RT allows joogle/NSA to spy on RT visitors.
>Russian rockets are failing to advance
Last time I checked they were regularly using hypersonic missiles to the shock and awe of the West while America was stuck in perpetual R&D.
Last French nuclear test was in 1996 and last Russian one in 1990. Nuclear power plants are not the same as nukes. “Neocon shill” is amusing though, thanks for the laugh!
A nuclear bomb is just a fast neutron reactor built to explode, instead of built not to explode. The capability to build and maintain reactors is the only indicator we have of the capability to build and maintain nukes. And Russia and China, mostly Russia, are the only remaining people who can build reactors.
As long as they use the same fuel, and which is why they do use the same fuel. Makes bomb making more economically efficient.
Molten salt thorium reactors would have been far safer, with much more common and readily available fuel, and allowing for a continuous fuel refresh and waste extraction. But it doesn’t lend itself to bomb making. Which is why the technology was never commercially developed. This would have caused a divergence between power tech and bomb tech.
The primary reason thorium tech was never developed is because the new-deal regime stuck its oar in and made sure that noone could do anything with Our friend, The Atom unless it went through them first.
The anemia is more or less complete artificial imposition. A world without that would see a world with both and more besides.
Efforts to build Thorium reactors have generally failed for the same reason that conventional nuclear reactors are failing.
Back when we were able to build nuclear reactors, we did not build Thorium reactors because Nuke for Peace was a civilian application of Nukes for War. Since then, incapacity.
The new deal regime of FDR and his more immediate successors (the IQ gatekept managerial state) was massively massively pro nuclear. It was the regime that followed the assassination of Kennedy and the beginning of the globohomo leftist administrative state that turned against nuclear especially under Carter.
Kennedy was assassinated in large part because he was keeping up the IQ gatekeeping. Which, as the state religion got ever dumber, led to friction between him and the state religion. They wanted jobs for their boys.
They wanted the regime to be ideologically reliable, and their most reliable people were not getting into key posts, being excluded not for excessive leftism, but for ignorance, incompetence, and stupidity.
If you want an IQ gatekept regime, you have to have an IQ gatekept state faith, and you cannot afford a state faith with stupid beliefs about this world.
They were pro-nuclear in a manner of fashion – but pro-nuclear only on their own terms. And there was factional disagreement over the fact within their own house even from the very beginning, and in short order, the anti-nuclear factions carried the day.
It wasn’t enough for them to simply build their own plutonium breeding reactors for bomb building – they had to stop everyone else from doing anything else, too.
The need for everything to be referred through the bureaucratic middlemen on pain of pain imposed huge floors to hurdle for possible productive actions even when they wanted them; which they frequently didn’t.
Jim, agree wholeheartedly on Kennedy. But to answer PC I don’t think it can be said the immediate new deal regime was anti nuclear in any way. Of course it was pro nuclear on its own terms because the experts then actually were the experts. Why would they want to debate decisions about the allocation of enormous resources for technological projects with a bunch of ignorant plebs. They really did know better.
‘New Deal Regime’ in this context meaning the fourth republic that FDR created and subsequently ruled over the states over the later 20th century.
>debate decisions about the allocation of enormous resources for technological projects
They didn’t even have to debate it; they could do what they liked with what was theirs. But it wasn’t enough just to make decisions over their own stuff; they had to stop everyone else from using their own stuff of their own volition, too. That was their greatest fatuity. All the red tape overburden making everything involving nuclear artificially expensive is downstream of that.
I make a sharp demarcation between the new deal regime (which I agree with Yarvin definitely had its good points the big problem with it is it wasn’t going to be stable) and the regime post Kennedy assassination. The LBJ regime was not run the same way or for the same goals and had no redeeming qualities about it.
And as for not debating about it I agree they didn’t but why would the post new deal energy department largely the same people who built the bomb ever want to debate the public. And as for not letting people do nuclear on their own given the immense capital requirements to do anything practical with nuclear and given the security risks of letting people fuck around with nuclear materials why would they.
Well, that’s fair enough.
The important thing here is that the mid 20th century technocracy did not create its own expertise; the technocracy got its experts through channels that existed before the technocracy; and closing those avenues, subsequently lost its expertise.
In a civilized country, the likes of David Hahn would be given medals and a choice of positions in powerful companies of men
In the GAE, they get tortured and thrown into prison.
>And as for not letting people do nuclear on their own given the immense capital requirements to do anything practical with nuclear and given the security risks of letting people fuck around with nuclear materials why would they.
Because you’re not a communist? (They were communists. ‘Security’ was a big joke because secrets were sold out immediately to their fellow travelers across the pond.)
Oh absolutely the Manhattan project was full of communists but largely cleaned up under Teller (it was a lot of other agencies that didn’t get cleaned up). The subtext of the movie Oppenheimer is largely about Tellers purge of the department of Energy. Oppenheimer was probably not a spy (the leading effective spies being the Rosenbergs and Klaus Fuchs as far as I know) but as an ex communist (who only thought communism needed some minor tweaks) who knew too many communists he was too much of a security risk when he was no longer needed and had to go.
(I want to hold forth of this subject so this isn’t a direct reply just going off)
Mere knowledge alone is never the primary limiting factor. If you build something and it exists to be seen, understanding of it will percolate eventually regardless. The most important thing is if you are capable of actually facilitating given capital of a given level at all to begin with. All the intelligence coups in the world didn’t help the soviets build microelectronics at scale like their frenemies.
The perception that the only thing one can use nuclear energy with is gigantic state level power plants is primary a consequence of the fact that communists were in charge of building them, and secondarily from the fact that men used to building chemical thermal powerplants were subcontracted to building them, where scale=efficiency, whereas down to a certain point nuclear energy is mostly scale insensitive. The lack of competitive gigantic highly optimized and perfected small modular reactor power industry everywhere in everything from trains to boats to factories to city blocks and townships is primarily down to the socio-spiritual consequences of this.
Swamp dwellers are fine with fusion research projects because they don’t expect them to actually produce fruit (within any currently living lifespan at least) and so likewise makes for yet another good excuse to divert capital, human or otherwise, away from atomics.
Controllable interjection of fusable material through reactive zones via one means or another (whether separately through isolated CMC tracks or directly through compatible working mediums) for purposes of boosting neutron economy similar in substance if not form to how thermonuclear devises take advantage of fusion boosting is a clear path forwards in the state of the art but no one is talking about it publicly and it’s a crime against Nature how the tools of contemporary mythmaking are not being used, amongst other things, to incidentally lionize civilization’s pathways up the next step on the kardashev scale; to embrace friendship with Our Friend, The Atom.
It wasn’t always this way. Most of any straight white man over 30 can describe a working approximation of how a light water reactor works. But hardly anyone can so much as describe how a diode works. Which would indicate that mechanisms for dissemination of information in occidental societies were still largely functional before the late 50s, but had been completely subverted or destroyed by the early 70s.
Jim made the faultless observation some time ago:
“I am as ignorant of Hindu theology as Oog En Hand is of Christian theology, and if I tried to get into the details with somedude I would only look stupid.
Hinduism is not entirely overrun by demons, but all the Aryan religions succumbed to demon infestation, including Hinduism.
I do not wish to resume arguing that certain Hindu gods are obviously demonic, because that just pisses off good people. But they are. Which is why Hindus keep being conquered by non Hindus.
Indra/Thor/Zeus/Jupiter was not a demon, but one of the original ancestors of the Aryan people. At least some people in Iceland remembered him as ancestor who in his mortal life was located somewhere near the original Aryan homeland, which, since Iceland and Norway are a mighty long way from from the original Aryan homeland, sounds like something they remembered, rather than something they made up. Krishna is a demon. The advice he gave to Arjuna was extremely bad, led to disaster, and continues to lead to disaster today. He was also disastrous for patriarchy and male authority over women. But the primarily demonic part of his faith is what he told Arjuna, not his contribution to female misconduct.
Krishna is encouraging fratricide.
Arjuna … tells Krishna that he doesn’t want to fight against his own family, and that his family fighting within itself will lead to chaos in the kingdom. He also says that there are great heroes and respected scholars on the other side,
Chaos in the Kingdom ensued, the family was destroyed, and its political power destroyed. Everyone involved in the war, predictably, lost.
The British conquered India in substantial part because the royal families kept murdering their kinfolk, and frequently invited the British in to assist them in doing so.
Demons always want you to kill your children and your kin.”
He also said further:
“That is not the perspective that Krishna is giving Arjuna.
Rather Krishna is telling Arjuna that the consequences of war, and the reasons for war, do not matter. That it is OK to shit in your own nest, because you should be detached from the things of this world
No matter what goes down, your kin are still your kin. The details of the story of Arjuna fade away when you put them in the context of broad historical pattern.
And the broad historical pattern is that this is bad conduct. Any one incident has no end of details that make one man’s conduct arguably defensible. But the broad pattern of which this incident is typical is obvious evil.
You are telling me that in the circumstances of this specific event, it was necessary and right for Arjuna to go to war against friends and kin.
Perhaps it was, quite likely it was. But Krishna is not telling Arjuna that in this specific situation war against friends and kin is necessary.
He is giving Arjuna a general all purpose group of reasons why war on friends and kin is OK, which applies equally in all situations.”
When asked
“Suppose Christ was in place of Krishna. What advice would Christ have given Arjuna?”
Jim said Jesus Christ would:
I expect he would have given him a nutshell version of Christian just war doctrine, or a parable to that effect. He would have also told him to walk the extra mile for peace.
One of the points of just war doctrine is that a key war objective must be order and peace, and that the war must have realistic prospects of establishing order and peace. Sometimes the only effectual way to establish order and peace is bopping people with a big hammer. Arjuna’s assessment was chaos, which assessment proved accurate. Krishna argued, among other things, that Arjuna, being a warrior, had a duty to fight. But Arjuna was a ruler, not just a warrior. He had a duty to establish order. Krishna is arguing that order does not matter, which is strange advice to give a ruler.
Krishna argues that Arjuna should be detached from this world. A ruler should not be detached from whom and what he rules
Feelings for friends and kin are not supposed to be transient.
That the likely outcome of the conflict was chaos makes it debatable what Arjuna’s duty was.
It was his duty as a warrior and and ruler to ensure that his family ruled. But which faction or group in the family?
And the battle failed to resolve that question, with the result that nobody ruled.”
He responded to some Hindoo:
“You doubtless know your Hindu theology and Hindu history better than I do, and it is true that the Bronze Age collapse did not happen in India.
But Krishna is not making any of the arguments by which any of you defend the conclusion that Arjana should go to war. He is making the argument that consequences to kin, friends, allies, and nation do not matter.
And that fratricidal kinslaying civil war killed off most of the family
Other people involved in the story disagreed.
Bridges with kin are never finally burned.
Deeds done, and outcomes resulting, showed that they were right. Those outcomes were still happening when the British invaded India.”
Some other subcontinental Tantrikologist who claimed to be legitimately “initiated” said:
“There are a lot of Yogic Tantric traditions within Hinduism that say Kali and Krishna are the same entity. There is a folk tale to this effect:
Krishna was known to sing and dance with several women in the forest at night. All married women. His favorite was named Radha.
One day, Radha’s husband came to hear of this. He decided to follow her and confront her. When he came to the grove, he saw all the women dancing in a circle, but in the center stood Kali, not Krishna!
Radha’s husband realized that this wasn’t some frivolous adultery matter, but something else entirely.
When you get deeper into the imagery, other parallels emerge. The depiction of both as black skinned. The seed Mantra (to be repeated during deity meditation) for Krishna is “Kleem”, while the seed Mantra for Kali is “Kreem” – not very different, especially when you consider how R and L are often interchanged in many of the world’s languages.
Kali is remarkable among popular manifestations of the Goddess in that she is not typically approached only in pure, orthodox fashion. Animal sacrifice, liquor, meditation in cremation grounds, are all par for the course (that’s true of most Goddess traditions in India but Kali is the most vividly antinomian).”
I must say that I hadn’t noticed the Kali Krishna connection and it seems to be real in Tantric circles.
Although I’ve read the translation of Mahabharata & Bhagavadgita’s translation by Johannes Adrianus Bernardus Buitenen as well as the Radha Tantra & Toḍala Tantra in Sanskrit among other mediaeval āryavaishnavite krishnaite Philosophieme-Literaturwissenschaft, I hadn’t noticed this before as no commentator either Hindoo or Western has ever made these arguments even though they do seem perceptible right in front of the nose, which made Me believe Jim has heightened perception/erudition or atleast some Intuitionistic ability Isomorphic to identifying demonic faiths.
Finally Jim said:
“Speaking as a non Hindu ignorant of Hinduism, the Vedas are about seventeen centuries before Christ and probably mostly predate the conquest of India by a few centuries, the law of Manu about two centuries before Christ, about a millenium after the conquest of India, and I doubt you are going to find any trace of Krishna in the official state religions of the scientifically and technologically leading states until many centuries after Christ, even though Krishna is the beginning of the Kali Yuga, which is probably before Christ by a few centuries, though I doubt that Krishna lived and the Kali Yuga began nearly as long before Christ as Hindus would. like to believe. Krishna probably became a big deal at roughly the time of Christ, more or less, guessing wildly in the total absence of knowledge from the way religions work, though he lived at least couple of centuries earlier, and maybe a lot earlier than that. Because I think that Krishna reflected the Kali Yuga, and contributed to it, I conjecture that his religion would probably show up around the time of Christ, but the scientifically and technologically advanced states were centuries after Christ, and, in my complete ignorance, I would expect them not to be big fans of Krishna. Rama does not show up for several centuries after Christ, and no substantial Rama worship until about a millenium after Christ.”
What I’m curious about is that since you seem to have a propensity, well-founded intuition & some superior intuitionistic sense for sensing out daemonisms & the daemonological, I wish to list 21 Vajrayāna/Tantrayāna/Kadampa/Marpa Kagyu/Sakyapa/Nyingmapa Deities (only male Deities since all female deities seem to be invariably Daemonological across all religions universally) and want you to look them up and gauge which are demonic:
1. Śākyamuni Buddha
2. Amoghasiddhi
3. Vajrasattva
4. Vajradhara
5. Vajrapani
6. Ratnasambhava
7. Akṣobhya/Akṣobhyavajra
8. Amitabha
9. Vairocana/Mahāvairocana
10. Vajrabhairava
11. Yamāntaka
12. Hevajra
13. Kālācakra
14. Heruka
15. Cakrasaṃvara
16. Vajrasādhu
17. Hayagrīva
18. Guhyasamāja
19. Mahākāla
20. Vajraḍāka
21: Buddhakapāla
Also what are your thoughts on beings like Māra and Yama in Tibetan Nyingmapa Buddhism? Cheers.
You need to ask someone who knows a lot more about Hinduism than I do. And Hindus are profoundly reluctant to do what is needed, which is address the obvious demonic infestation.
I am unsurprised to hear that some versions of Hinduism regard Kali and Krishna as male and female aspects of the same entity. From my limited knowledge it looks to me that they are, and Christians have a name for that entity. Or several names.
There is a whole lot of unquestionably Godly stuff in Hinduism. And a whole lot of obviously demonic stuff. But there is a profound reluctance to push back against the blatantly demonic. And demons and demon worship is always going to advance unless very forcefully pushed out.
Which is the root cause of Hinduism’s military incapacity. Krishna says going to war with family, kin, friends, and co-religionists is just fine. Brother wars with brother for the throne and treasury, and both brothers ask the British to lend a hand. Pretty soon the British were in the palace, and both brothers bare assed sitting in the dust.
As for science, I just do not know enough. I understand exactly the role of 1660 Anglicanism in the scientific revolution, and it is obvious why Orthodox Jews fail to make any contribution to science or engineering, while assorted Jewish apostates, conversos, and atheists who are racially the same do very well. Hindusim, I just do not know. The time when Hindus led the world in science and engineering was a long time ago, but not so long ago as to be entirely lost to history.
Glancing superficially at the history, I see a hot debate between science and techie Hindus on the one hand, and Hindus that I would categorise as fundamentally hostile to science, technology, and very reality of this world, as ideologically opposed to the very ground under their feet, so the history is still around, but it would need someone who can read the language and believes the faith to figure out what went wrong.
I know what went right in England in the 1660s. The Church accepted the validity of the scientific method as a way of learning and knowing the will of God manifest as the world. Christianity has always been inherently less unfavorable to science and technology than other faiths, but certain forms of Protestantism, who accept Christ as the Logos, are decisively favorable.
Unfortunately, I don’t know anyone outside of you who has made the same observations or has the same ability or capacitance to observe and gauge from deductive-abductive Peirceanesque logic & purely intuition/guy feeling which faiths are demonic or point out demonic infestation.
By the way I asked you mostly about your thoughts on Tibetan Buddhism and those Buddhist Antinomian/Nondual Deities including some others I wish to add like Akṣobhyavajra, Vajraheruka, Guhyasamājavajra, Mahākālavajra, there’s some other more obscure deities like Vajrarakta, Vajrajvālānalārka and Vajravairocana, it’s clear to Me atleast from My own far from Unlimited knowledge that Tibetan Buddhists Tantricized & Buddhicized Deities from the Hindoo Pantheon while Sanskritizing them into a peculiar Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit which is very different from Mediaeval Sanskrit & Ancient Vedic/Vedamārga Sanskrit.
It seems obvious to Me that Tibetan Buddhism has some demonic infestation considering they worship Female deities (which is a redflag) and they also seem to worship alot of Syncretized Hindu demons here’s a prominent example:
“The original title of this rite seems missing. This rite explains the sadhaka’s
generation of wrathful thoughts and his four meditations on die four families, i.e.
Vajra, Ratna, Padma and Karma, located in the four places of his body, i.e. heart,
forehead, neck and crown. Anandagarbha regards the words ‘meditating on
Vajrakrodha’ (Vzjrakxodhci-samdpatti) as executing the deity-yogm of die four
Humkaras, i.e. Vajrahumkara, Ratnahumkara, Dharmahumkara and Karmahumkara
respectively. Thus, by means of meditating on the four Humkaras, the sddhaka
generates four Humkaras in his mind and gains their powers.90
a-2. Devddyakarsanamudrdjhdna
“If one draws Vajrankusa on the palm (of one’s right hand), and
shakes die forefinger (of the right hand) known as Humkara91
with wrathful (thought), (this becomes) the supreme summoning
of (all) gods.
If one draws Vajrankusa at the centre of the sole of one’s foot, and
presses the reflected image (lingo) (of any deity) with it, one can
surely summon (all) gods.
If one draws Vajrankusa on one’s erected penis (medhra)92 and
shakes it, one can summon all goddesses such as Uma,
If one draws Vajrankusa in the intestine,93 and presses any god
with it, (this becomes) the supreme summoning (of all gods).”94
This rite explains the four methods of summoning all the deities of the extemal-
Fh/’ra-family by means of wrathful Vajrankusa who is generated from pronouncing
the HUM sound and has the characteristic of attracting deities. The first segment
describes the method of summoning deities by forming the hand gesture of
o
Vajrankusa, i.e. making a hook with the forefinger of the right hand. The second
segment describes the method of forming the image of Vajrankusa pressing a deity
like Vajrahumkara who likewise presses Mahesvara and TJma with its feet in the
mandala. In the third segment, the Tibetan translation reads the term 1medhra” as
‘mudrd”, and the Chinese translation reads it as 7inga. As Sakyamitra makes clear,
this third method is based on the concept that all goddesses are endowed with
passion. According to Anandagarbha in the sddhaka’s doity-yoga the sadhaka’s
visualised deity and a goddess such as Uma are united together. The fourth segment
is also explained by Anandagarbha whereby the sddhaka generates Vajrankusa in
the secret part of the body using the word ‘HUM”, and presses the reflected image
of any deity with it.

“If one assumes the pratyalidha9* posture and (pronounces) once

Buddhas99 possessing the four HUM sounds, one can certainly
attract all (living beings).
If one (visualises) the supreme vision of Vajrakrodha while
meditating upon Vajrakrodha, one can destroy the entire world in
union with Vajrahumkara.
If one puts armour on one’s own body or on another’s by means of
one’s mind, one can protect this entire world by means of the yoga
of the great armour.”
This rite explains the means of attaining the powers of Vajrahumkara by means of
performing the four mudras of Vajrahumkara, i.e. body-mudrd (or maha-mudrd),
speech-mudrd, vision-mudrd and mind-mudrd.101 The first segment refers to the
sadhaka’s visualising himself as the bodily image of Vajrahumkara in the
pratyalidha posture wrapped in flames. The second segment refers to the sadhaka’s
transforming the visualised Vajrahumkara of four faces and eight arms into himself,
while pronouncing the four HUM sounds. In this segment, the hrdaya of all the
Buddhas possessing die four HUM sounds refers to the supreme vidya recited by
Vairocana, i.e. “OM SUMBHA NISUMBHA HUM, GRHNA GRHNA HUM,
GRHNAPAYA HUM, AV4K4 HO BHAGAVAN VAJRA HUM P H A T 103 which
has four //O M soimds. The third segment focuses on the wrathful eyes of
Vajrahumkara having the fimction of destruction. The words “meditating upon
Vajrakrodha” in diis context refer to the deity-yoga of Vajrahumkara. Danapala
translates the words ‘one can destroy the entire world’ as ‘one can destroy all evils
in the world’, This interpretation is possible because the part two of the STTS
focuses on the various methods of subduing all evil beings. The fourth segment can
be interpreted as the sddhaka when visualising himself as Vajrahumkara has the
function of Vajrakavaca (alias Vajraraksa), protecting all living beings.
a-4. Sarvasattvamudranamudrdjhana
“If one can embrace any (deity) while meditating upon
Vajrakrodha, one can seal that one by means of muttering:
“Vajrahumkara”.
One should clearly utter: ‘TTAKKI HUM PH AT with (one’s)
great voice. As soon as one utters this to any (deity) with wrathful
(thought), one can kill that one by the blazing vajra.
If one can behold any (deity) with the vajra- vision in the samddhi
of Vajrakrodha, one will seal that one’s death.
While thinking in the mind: “I wish to kill (evil deities).”, if one
can visualise a vajra at (one’s) heart, one can seal oneself with
HUM-kara in the presence of all.
If one seals any being with one’s mind, one can accomplish all the
wished for actions with these (four) mudras.”
This rite consists of five segments instead of the usual four segments. In this rite,
the sddhaka visualises Vajrahumkara as himself, and unites with his chosen deity.
The first four segments correspond to the four mudras, i.e. body-mudrd (or maha-
mudrd), speech-mwfifra, vision-mudrd and mind-mudrd respectively, and the fifth
segment refers to the conclusion of this rite.According to Anandagarbha, this
fifth segment indicates the mudrd of sealing the body projected by the samddhi of the four mudras.”
A Tibetologist Scholar named Toganoo Shoun (Mandara no kenlcyu, pp. 335-337) argues that the above mantra is apparently closely
related to the Hindu Purana literature which includes a story of two demon brothers, i.e. Sumbha
and Nisumbha, defeated by the consort of Siva, Parvati. Toganoo’s views are translated into
English by Adrian Snodgrass. (The Matrix and Diamond World Mandalas in Shingon
Buddhism, pp. 723-725)
What I’m trying to say is that while Tibetan Buddhism is a very Androcentric religion and Tibet itself was Patriarchial, there seems to be something off about it especially with its Syncretization of both Puranic/Dravidian Hindoo deities & Hindoo demons as well as almost Illimitable number of female deities, what are your thoughts on all this as well as Tibetan Nyingmapa Buddhism as a Lamasery/Lamaistic state religion?
The ritual you describe is obviously witchcraft, thus obviously demonic. One is attempting to summon supernatural beings who do not like one and who are notorious for bad conduct. But I don’t know anything about it other than the description you provide.
To the extent that the ritual succeeds in accomplishing something, the outcome is likely to be bad for one, and one probably attempted this with the intention that it will be bad for someone else. Even if a male is attempting this, this is behaviour characteristic of childless women who are past their sell by date, hence the stereotype that witches are old women.
It’s from a book COMPENDIUM OF ALL THE TATHAGATAS
A STUDY OF ITS
ORIGIN, STRUCTURE AND TEACHINGS by
DO-KYUN KWON which is a thesis on the Sarvatathāgatatattvasaṃgraha.
In any case there isn’t much information about this as the Sarvatathāgatatattvasaṃgraha is written in archaic unlexicalized & discontinuous nonsemasiologicized Sanskrit & similarly hyperoracular Old Tibetan, I tried reading but found it difficult to understand, thanks for the response, it’s best if nothing more is added to this conversation.
While we’re on this topic, do you have similar knowledge on the character and spread of Buddhism to the kingdoms of China, Korea and Japan?
The words and actions of Sakya Buddha contain no obvious evil, indeed there are an exceptional number of parables and deeds that parallel the words and deeds of Christ.
By the time it becomes Mahayana, looks like the priesthood is justifying itself and justifying infinite leftism in finite time, “we’re doing this to help you, you who doesn’t understand reality like we do,” but even in this form was capable of creating stable ruling faiths.
I suppose I’m wondering if you see evil at the core, or is this another good faith that saw corrosion due to a badly formatted priesthood?
I know next to nothing about Tibetan religion, but it sounds as if there was syncretism there between Buddhism and some much older, much darker belief system.
And maybe looking up ancient rituals written in forgotten languages is not a good idea. Maybe there’s a reason they stopped doing that.
Somehow I intuitively feel that what turns up will always be obviously demonic, and that if one carries out the ritual, it will, surprisingly, work in some sense, and one will wish it had not.
Somehow it just feels like the intellectual equivalent of wandering in dark alleys at two in the morning in the bad part of town. Or eating mystery mushrooms.
Tibetian Buddhism is to Buddhism sort of like Roman Catholicism is to Christianity though far less successful as both took a more baseline religion and set a god king and a priest class with all sorts of weird rituals over it. And yes like with Catholicism it probably incorporated a lot of stuff from more ancient and darker religions.
My understanding of the occult (and some occult stuff I absolutely believe is real, if Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon and Nikolai Tesla were quite of the reality of certain occult phenomenom I tend to think they were right) is you need basically an absolute belief in what you are doing for it to work so luckily for most dumbasses who meddle with such things it will amount to nothing. Crazy old women tend to be witches because they tend to be the ones crazy enough to absolutely believe what they are doing will work.
Certainly it needs faith. But does it need absolute faith?
My faith in God is as a mustard seed and my sins are grievious, and yet I have seemingly done some surprising things by the power of faith. I wonder what a similar faith in demons might accomplish, but do not wish to find out.
Russians have taken to stringing miles of polyester nets over key frontline logistical corridors to deal with drone incursions.
Which is a pretty inspired elaboration of the principle of fortification really; transforming time into greater advantages beyond what can be carried or deployed alone. Which certainly speaks to my love of compounding interest, and the aesthetic tunneling produced as a result definitely helps too. You can tell how much the guys like it.
The art of war in the ukraine seems to have largely solidified otherwise as of late. This isn’t unusual in fact; the biggest instrumental transformations tend to happen after a conflict rather than in the midst of it. The opening days, if it goes on long enough, see a land rush in the form of existing equipment being adapted in new ways, and existing prototype equipment being rushed through the pipeline into production, but then entering holding patterns as the ‘surface ores’ are all mined.
Proliferation of shotguns as part of standard squad infantry tactics echos the observation that large bore grenade rifles in general are the way forwards in small arms power. Rolling platforms are all being rigged to handle signals, but also on a largely ad-hoc basis with existing off-the-shelf equipment. Wire-guided munitions were rederived to deal with jamming. Expert systems for autonomic navigation, guidance, and image based target recognition are an obvious fruit both sides are looking to pick. Hardware limitations of how much compute you can fit (or are willing to afford) on a single drone are the current stumbling block. Obvious solution of using multiple units networked together to operate as a cloud, but neither side looks there yet. This same capability would also apply to troops and other platforms forming their own ‘synthetic arrays’ for instant target correlation and dispatch with ordnance, but neither again looks there yet (or have a clearly advocated recognition of the there, at that). Glider bombs launched outside the envelopes of frontline shorad with the potential energy of high and fast movers continue to be a killer app for Russia in decomposing enemy positions with little counter-play possible by KOG forces. Superheavy spearheads (the lovable ‘turtle’ retrofits) were rederived for assault purposes; the main purpose of course being that they are scouts; smoking out hidden enemy positions for destruction by the rest of the force. Everyone has learned to love motorcycles and atvs for purposes of getting across the battlefield, whether that is maneuvering in general or direct assaults. ‘Mosquito logistics’ tends to be the order of the day, retrofitted 4×4 utes and other cars because, not only common, but also faster over land, and speed saves. Even something as ‘simple'[1] as having better tires on can make a huge different in mobility, whether you can go through the theater the way you need through the ways you need, or are barred off. Obvious extension of putting ordnance in the truckbeds too for blowing up enemies detected by other elements in the tacnet, but also noone seems exactly there yet. Existing tank integration as mobile artillery platforms is kinda there in spirit. The 21st century panhard has yet to be made. DIE capital can’t supply the missiles KOG needs who have been trying to make up for it with ‘domestic’ drone production, which is naturally hampered by mass destruction of all large scale energy production. DIE capital also can’t produce drones for it either obviously. China as merchant people in spirit like supplying both sides. The rigging of cessnas and other light aviation craft into cruise missiles for striking targets several hundred miles inside Russia has been an interesting development, but hard to say how telling. Not on a scale sufficient to reverse their fortunes as it stands on the front at any rate.
[1] (It’s actually not simple at all, and access to supply by companies with greater capability in the arcane art of making bearings between vehicle and terrain provides a significant advantage; a common refrain in many spheres at that.)
That Kursk is on the brink of falling literal days after Trump/Elon cuts off military aid can’t be a coincidence too. Satellite intel seems to have become a pretty essential component of modern warfare too? Am I correct in saying that entails both internet access and a ‘live updated google maps’ so to say?
Yes, I know for sure that the ukes have been using ‘live service’ mapping apps where the battlespace order of battle and targets of interest are all synthesized together, which can be used for things like battery commanders clicking on targets that pop up for doing fire missions, and so on (I can only assume the Russians have similar methods). Likewise, access to starlink was quite possibly one of the single most significant factors that kept KOG forces in the fight when all other ‘usual’ methods of C3 theretofore were disrupted or destroyed. They use it for everything from drone control to shitposting on telegram.
Putin hasn’t taken the step to shoot down satellites (or disable via ‘grinding’), but turning space assets into scrap is an obvious move in the case of war between major powers breaking out – or escalating beyond what it is now, at that.
Trump told the cokehead publically he wouldn’t be a tough guy long without the United States… it seems he (and probably others) are too drugged out and deluded to have understood. They are going to understand fast now that their drones etc don’t really work without sattelite coverage.
The legacy media in Britain, including the outer party wing, unanimously decreed that Russia was on the brink of collapse. Which as far as the good and great are concerned makes it true, and ensures that they actually will collapse.
Also that Orange Man Bad is irrelevant and insignificant, and that Starmer and the coke addled gnome are Churchill and Roosevelt.
That is the reality they live in, and if you live in a different reality you are a bad person, and they are good people.
They will continue to live in their own little reality, because in actual reality they are evil and stupid.
This, incidentally, makes sense of the odd behavior of the Democrats, because in their reality they are popular and still in power, because the judiciary and the permanent government is still in their pocket, despite the irrelevant loss of the merely elected government. It is obviously unconstitutional for the merely elected government to attempt to interfere with the permanent government, and the judges are going to strike down such absurdly illegal acts.
Not obvious to me. How are they networked? If its EM waves, now vulnerable to jamming. If lasers, now very expensive and hard to program and control.
Just vision alone is still quite bad, even with all the compute you can throw at it. Makes strange unforseen errors, very unreliable, and grows more unreliable the more distant the object appears in the image. It’s even worse with decision making and navigation. The best self-driving system in the world, with millions of hours of data to learn from, still not fully reliable, and it’s operating in conditions that are not actively hostile.
Drone swarms seem to me like a misapprehension of the niche drones are filling. Its a cheap low commitment smart missile that also provides reconnaissance. Having a swarm of them is not likely to improve the reconnaissance value, and a swarm of them means they are far harder to control and direct, increasing costs without much in increasing effictiveness.
A drone is a proxy for a commando doing commando operations in the flesh, but with low cost and low risk. It goes behind enemy lines, reports back what it sees, identifies something worth blowing up, and blows it up.
Armies are still practicing and engaging in ambushes, does that not seem silly? We should envision millions of cheap surveillance drones blanketing, and if not hovering, to grab onto trees, rocks, pieces of debris, and sit and wait, listen, watch, and get a general 3d memory of the area, and memory of any anomalous events. Communication would help them coordinate full coverage. If a tiny, fist-sized drone, shelled up (the shell the same pattern and color as the branch) and stuck to a tree branch for a few weeks, starts to think there is a high likelyhood of a human walking around, (a twig crunch wakes up the cpu a touch, then further analysis causes more wake events causing more attention…) it can release pheromones, which trigger other surveillance drones to check, which cascade up into calling over swarm grenade drones to carpet bomb the area, and other drones delivering high-res data of the event back to human operators, maybe grabbing a dna sample from a bit of a burnt finger
In a manner of fashion, this is already being done with the battlefields in later days being covered with listening posts; in the form of literal posts, with phones or other devices tied to them, noting sound signatures, multilaterating for positions, velocities, directions of travel, estimations of areas it’s going, and more importantly in the case of drones, areas it came from.
> Jeet problem is way more unsolvable
The basic problem is that there is an effectively unlimited supply of Indians, and outside of some small castes most are inbred and low IQ in addition to the exacerbated tribalism from inbreeding.
Whereas there is a declining supply of Jews, especially the problematic Ashkenazi prog conversos, due to mixed marriage and (outside Israel and some marginal Orthodox groups) low fertility. Problem Jews will naturally decline into irrelevance in the West over a few generations, and in Israel the troublesome Ashkenazi phenotype will, if present trends continue, be bred out of existence through mixing with non leftist types of Jew.
The other thing that makes them the worst is as I said you can make a decent place to live out of a place full of spics blacks Arabs etc if you have loyal security forces no leftist outside interference and a small white (or perhaps asian) elite you can even make the darkies fairly prosperous there have been examples of this… I don’t think you can do that so easily with indians as even having them on the same internet or phone network as other people causes huge problems.
Current Singapore and Dubai, and past South Africa, seem to contradict you here.
If you treat them as an ethnic block you are dealing with, works out fine. If you pretend they are individualistic liberals, works out terribly. So we should just drop the colorblindness idiocy.
Not what I said.
I advocated the Rhodesian system basically so once again not what I said. They got treated sort of as individuals and sort of as part of a bloc. Singapore is I think the same way.
I just quoted you directly. There is nothing in the parent comment or the comment I’m quoting that talks at all about anything other than subcons being some sort of insoluble problem. You may have had “insoluble *in this specific context*” in mind, but you didn’t write that specific context out. You went even further in the insoluble direction stating that just sharing internet protocols with subcon blocs is unsustainable (well, yes, but not as relevant to governance, and firewalls are not that hard to implement to keep 99% of the problem out).
Enough with more racist than thou. Every commenter on this blog takes a position on race that is still today unimaginably unthinkable to normies, and normies could not tell the difference between us.
Every race needs laws adapted to its nature and character. Equality under the law is not only unwise, but unkind. We have destroyed the healthy black society that existed under segregation, and Rhodesian and South African blacks are vastly worse off.
You said I was advocating colorblindness (and implied strict colorblindness not a degree of colorblindness) which is not what I said. With subcontinentals specifically I think in any numbers they will scam any system you can imagine in a negative way nothing colorblind about that.
Gentile progs (white and poc liberals) have low fertility as well.
It would be nice to convert (most of) them, a la Havel’s greengrocer, as many are high human capital and can do useful things. Imagine a Pinochetized Google.
But slow demographic extinction is also acceptable, effectively replacing Google with Gab.
Most progs are midwits there are some genuine high IQ ones but these tend to be “spiteful mutants” and they are spiteful because prog society does not give easy niches for genuinely high IQ people who are misfits in normal society the whole system in fact generally punishes the truly intelligent unless they good social politiking skills… we will not have many such problems in the future but the existing ones i don’t know.
The Indian “forward castes”, as they are officially called, are about 30% of the 1.4 billion population. Which is about 420 million people. The size of the middle class in India is alleged to be 31% of the population. Probably almost complete overlap.
Thus, it’s the remaining 70%, or in other words the remaining 1 billion jeets that are in the “disadvantaged wogs” category. Which is of course huge, but the forward castes are definitely not a “teeny tiny minority”. 420 million guptas and patels is more than the USA and Canada combined. If we believe the official population statistics in India, the US, and Canada that is. Could very well be millions of “uncounted” people in all three.
Like I think last year or the one before Papua New Guinea had to admit that they aren’t around 10 million people, but rather around 20 million, if you actually do a proper count.
It appears we don’t actually have a clue how many people there are in the world – third world data is wholly unreliable.
I actually feel ‘tarded for figuring this out just now. Like, yeah, obviously all of those numbers are fake. E.g., are there actually 2.5 million niggity noggity in Botswana? Could only be 1.3, or maybe it’s 5.85. Who knows? I think it’s all bullshit, maaaaan.
Nobody knows approximately (maybe the NSA or something but they ain’t talking) within 10 million people how many illegals are in America. Based on this I can’t imagine trusting Indian population stats.
Doctor Professor Apoo, India’s chief statistician:
Stupid gora, absolutely everyone knows that **checks notes** Tikka-Diarrhea-Masala County in Northeastern BHARAT has exactly, precisely 78 gojillion forillion godzillion people – I myself arrived at this number by counting the population with my fingers (the clean ones) and then readjusted it based on the lunar cycle and the direction of the wind, so you know it’s legit science and there’s nothing to be suspicious about saaaar.
Places like Nigeria pay their provinces based on reported population data, so they have a strong incentive to dramatically overcount. It’s not like anyone checks.

“Quantum radar is feasible. We have known in principle how to do it since the 1970s, and with the development of stealth aircraft, there is an urgent military need for quantum radar. (Since the stealthing that hides them from regular radar makes them even more visible to quantum radar.)
We know, in principle, how to build quantum radar. We don’t actually know even in principle how to build quantum computers with a useful number of qubits. Trouble is that more quibits, the bigger the decoherence and scaling problems”
is there any book worth reading on this technology?
Not really. Quantum computing is two percent bleeding edge research, ninety percent scams, and eight percent theory utterly disconnected from any possible practice. The bleeding edge research requires a very good understanding of quantum mechanics in order to understand what is implied by their results.
We have reason to suspect it is possible, but no existing or plausibly imagined technology scales beyond a handful of qbits. It is just that every proposed technology or imagined technology for storing and manipulating qbits has an insuperable noise problem. Topological superconductors, if they exist, could implement them. Microsoft researchers claimed to have found a topological superconductor, but it appears they have not. There is no reason in principle why we cannot have topological superconductors, but it would seem we do not.
It is not that theory entirely forbids the existence of phenomena that could give effect to quantum computers, but the only one imagined so far is topological superconductors. Quite likely there are other phenomena, which no one has imagined or observed yet. But until someone has some other bright idea, or actually finds a topological superconductor, quantum computers cannot be implemented in practice.
Just read up on over the horizon radar. There’s a reason Russia lost two of their installations.
BTW though this podcast is a half nig talking to two nigs I highly highly recommend it. Good and actually mostly prowhite discussion of race questions (Tate says he would favor free immigration for right wing european whites) in a way I don’t think any white guys could ever get away with (Tate not caring because he says while he thinks he’ll beat the charges hes resigned to the fact that if he keeps beating legal charges they’ll eventually just shoot him). It confirms my impressions of the sort of Florida nigs that they don’t really hate whites at all and actually view our decline with a certain amount of terror. Tate says specifically whites have the problem of listening to our women when no other race puts up with shit from women (at least to the degree we do).

At root, leftisms are (spite-motivated) memeplexes that exploit and parasitize on human sins, understood in secular terms as human failure modes. Different phenotypes are naturally prone to different types of failure modes. An all-too-common type of sin or failure mode among whites is pathological simping, which inexorably lends itself to memeplexes designed to exploit and parasitize on this particular failure mode – hence, endless “waves” of Feminism.
The solution might involve the radical culling of simps, whether via their own reproductive failure, or assisted by Total Simp Death, which I wholeheartedly advocate.
“When Vance told the European Security Conference that the American alliance was based on the shared values of freedom and democracy, and Europe was conspicuously abandoning those values, it begun.”
It began?
The genocide of Syrian Christians is one of the most horrifying instances of mass killings in recent history and among the most disgraceful moments in American history. We all have blood on our hands in one way or another. Some much more than others. It demands a Crusade in penance, but so far America and the West has demonically cheer the destruction of our brethren.
European Christendom is completely a lost cause. The Pope, as expected cucked. Concern is all he has.
If anyone in the Trump admin is reading, for the love of God, intervene.
Deus Vult. But first, tanks in Harvard yard. Even just one, symbolic tank might suffice – but if met with any resistance, should be prepared to push the envelope of what counts as “symbolic.”
>But first, tanks in Harvard yard.
Yes. We’re in no shape to be saving anyone anywhere in the world until and unless we save ourselves first.
Oh man, can we get a disfigured and demonic looking martyr? Can we get the tank to run over them? Please lord Hegseth, have mercy on us, and destroy our common enemy.
GAE factotums are shocked and deebly goncerned that the islamic proxy militias they wound up to destroy Assad are now killing all the non-sunis that Assad was protecting.
Yet another refrain on the litany of harvardian evils on the international stage over the past 70 years; not a single intervention anywhere at any time that did not lead to more calamity and woe than what was before.
>deebly goncerned that the islamic proxy militias
GAE in exile is blind to the islamic proxy militias.
Intervention explicitly on behalf of Christianity the now the most anti-havardian stance possible.
The right hands studiously profess ignorance of what the left hands are doing; this is typical of the phenomena of governance under a demotist milieu. To get ahead, maintain the illusions of ‘separate powers’, ‘popular sovereignty’, ‘due process’, and other idols, means not only ability to profess ignorance of what others are doing, but ability to profess ignorance of what ones own self is doing even; all the easier so to do, if one really is solipsistically avolitional enough to be functionally schizphrenic; for thinking in one context to be ignorant of what is done in other contexts; to lie without suffering from the cognitive dissonance of contradictory thoughts streaming in from broader inferential horizons.
I’m with Pseudo on this one. The fact that such an intervention would (apparently) be opposed to Harvard’s interests seems quite irrelevant. Relevant are the facts that we don’t know how to do such an intervention, currently lack the materiel and personnel for such an intervention, and would in any event be sending too many mixed signals to Russia by invading her client states while trying to make a clean break from the Ukraine.
Motives matter a little, but results matter a lot more, and a Syrian intervention (or should I say, another Syrian intervention) right now would have catastrophic results. What’s happening there is terrible and maybe Trump can work some of his negotiating magic on it, but overseas military maneuvers of any sort and for any reason should be out of the question until we can get our shit straightened out at home.
Yeah America is in no shape to be starting shit anywhere right now and if we do start shit it should be to invade Greenland and Canada.
With the roaches out of Nato, will be so much easier for Israel, Russia, and Iran to “intervene,” without America having to do anything directly. The Turk needs to be divorced from the Occident.
I have an idea. They can all move to live in Trump Gaza.
As our own swamp creatures aptly demonstrate, you can get a lot of millage out of ‘simply’ providing funding, organization, and platforms for parties in other lands. The standard position of likes of Soros, Nuland, et all state department tentacles is that these don’t count as interventions or invasions of other lands. Obviously they are, differing only by form, not by substance.
Of course the right time for such interventions would have been 20 years ago. Or more particularly in the more euphemistic sense of ‘intervention’ in bringing the rouge ‘intelligence community’ to heel and leaving all these catachretic cutouts to rot. The CIA made Al Qaeda, but MI6 made ISIS, and lately Turkey made its own move in knocking Syria over (England since being skinsuited by gnostics in the 19th century has always been at the forefront of pro-chaos advocacy, and their status as junior partners in imperium perversely makes them even more manic in their actions, beyond even what their cousin swamp dwellers in foggy bottom would dare). The halls of power in the global anti-american empire are a labyrinth in truth and by design. There is only so much fineness of control the axons in the network can exert over the whole of the work in terms of policy goals. ‘Inherent to the system’ as the cyberneticists would say.
It is a more transcendent sort of consistency to support abroad the same sort of things one supports at home, beyond the sort of ‘great game’ mindset that sees other power simply and only as things to weaken by any means, and the greater they are, the more impelling it is to undermine them – which is arguably prototypical leftism in spirit.
The most consequential effect of post-cold-war georgetown middle east policy has been an almost complete genocide of aramaic, eastern rite, and syriac christians in the near orient. Something the daemonhosts are of course perfectly fine with, much as they are fine with all the people in the ukraine dying as a result of their instigations.

Once upon a time all the Mice met together in Council, and discussed the best means of securing themselves against the attacks of the cat. After several suggestions had been debated, a Mouse of some standing and experience got up and said, “I think I have hit upon a plan which will ensure our safety in the future, provided you approve and carry it out. It is that we should fasten a bell round the neck of our enemy the cat, which will by its tinkling warn us of her approach.” This proposal was warmly applauded, and it had been already decided to adopt it, when an old Mouse got upon his feet and said, “I agree with you all that the plan before us is an admirable one: but may I ask who is going to bell the cat?”
Invading Syria to help a persecuted minority sounds to me like breaking the peace of Westphalia. We need to get uninvolved with Syria, but it is also unwise to not cultivate natural allies there, since Bibi proved treacherous in 2020. When we remigrate the palestinians, we’ll have real estate to put them on.
With the fall of GAE-clients Jordan and the Palestinian Authority, and the expulsion of Palestinians out of Judea and Samaria, there will be far vaster and much closer real estate available to settle various Middle-Eastern minorities, provided you help (i.e., not hinder) the Israeli Right do a Trumpian autocoup and form a government willing and able to implement radical plans (elections are slated for October 2026), and provided you are willing to side with Israel in the “Ezekiel 39” war against Nato-member Turkey, which is likely to be highly infuriated with all of this.
Well that is great for Jews, but what is in for us?
If the new regions are run by Trumpists (Trump Gaza, Crusader Kingdoms) then displaced minorities will want to settle there. But no one wants to settle in areas run by Jews.
The Crusades failed because of Roman Catholic imperium. People were OK with being ruled by crusaders, but though the Roman Catholic governance of traditionally Catholic people worked great, its governance of other groups was rather bad.
Ruling in the middle east is notoriously difficult. You need a state religion that is sufficiently vigorous, martial, and intolerant that it can quell faiths that make trouble, but sufficiently tolerant and peaceful that minorities that just want to get on with their lives can prosper. Trump Gaza envisages a copy of Dubai, but what makes Dubai work is a vigorous state religion that uses repressive violence when appropriate, and refrains from repression when inappropriate.

>Invading Syria to help a persecuted minority sounds to me like breaking the peace of Westphalia.
‘We’ already invaded Syria many times, all to help fund, organize, and create the very people who are now carrying out a genocide on Harvard’s behalf. This is our pseudo colony which we are in the process of decolonizing. Cleaning up after yourself after making a mess is the only proper course of action. Ideally, Assad or someone close to him is brought back and put in charge, his people armed to the teeth in remittances for the original breaking of the peace, and Harvard’s thugs eliminated. Then get out.
What does “new regions” mean?
If it means “newly liberated regions,” then someone needs to actually go in and liberate those regions first from Jihadist rule. Since you guys are such stark vehement “isolationists,” I suggested that Israel should do the dirty work, so that American blood will not be spilled; if, however, you actually do plan on sending in the Trumpist Crusaders to do the fighting, then by all means Israel won’t stop you.
I believe Trump’s base wants out of the Middle-East, though.
(Alternatively, no one does the dirty work, and all those minorities get slaughtered, which is indeed the likely outcome, and what Pax is complaining about.)
Israel is a massive beneficiary of American assistance. A major part of Thermidor is people alarmed by American incapacity and the terrible shortage of weapons, and a large part of that is people who want America to meddle in the Middle East on behalf of Israel. Trump has promised to accommodate them, but Trump being Trump, is going to want payback.
If Israel grabs new lands, it is likely to wind up at war with Turkey and Iran. If Iran winds up at war with the USA, it rationally calculates it is going to lose. If it winds up at war with Israel, might win. If Turkey and Iran versus Israel, and not America, Israel winds up conquered. If Iran versus Israel — well America would probably intervene. So any conquering you do is under American patronage. Trump, being Trump, is going to want a percentage.
Sure. Can make an absolutely Great Deal. Oh, and save innocent lives, which was the whole purpose 😉
Start by kicking the roaches, who orchestrated all this, out of Nato.
Can’t save the entire world. Not with the domestic situation and Ukraine being what it is. One problem at a time.
Defeating domestic enemies is looking increasingly to require attacking the enemy operations abroad.
We can save the Ukrainian people by completely cutting Zelensky off and divesting ourselves of the conflict. The mere removal of our support would lead to a quick collapse of their criminal government and war efforts. ‘We’ led the Ukrainian people into this mess, time to stop leading them into extermination via ‘fighting to the last Ukrainian’.
Duterte arrested. Sad. Sounds like he made the exact same mistakes Bolsonaro made: being based, but not based enough to realize that giving up the reins of power to leftists means the end of your career and possibly life.
Dipping your toes in the Rubicon is fatal. Trump had better be paying attention.
@jim
infowars reporter was assassinated in austin. Tesla cars are being burned across the world. list of doge employees are circulating online.
the left ,GAE in exile are able to rebuild C3i
and waging low level war , it seem it track with your previous prediction about 2026 being when civil war start.
i think even if trump , purg the left completely from USG , he will still have to go to war.
This is why it never works if you leave them aboveground, all the believers must go.
I was suddenly hit by the suspicion that what is stopping the peace deal, is not a coalition wanting to continue low level forever war, but instead is the murderous network of misanthropes and slavophobes responsible for the war, begging for ‘security guarentees’ for their lives.
It would explain their fear, denial, panic responses when Trump has dealings with them.
Por qué no los dos?
There’s a third category, too. Remember 20 years ago when the left fell in love with the term “chicken hawk”? Well, if the shoe fits…
I’m disturbed by the childish and stupid attitude so many seem to have on this Massie affair. Either the Republican party operates effectively under the leader principle or it does not. If Massie doesn’t have to bend the knee then the RINOs get to unbend their knees as well. Massie has to go even if hes a good guy in his own mind.
Massie is unquestionably a good guy. But good guys have to obey Trump, or nothing will get done.
Trump is imperfect, and Massie has rightly opposed Trump when he was terribly and disastrously wrong. But on this one, Trump is not terribly and disastrously wrong. Trump may well be wrong, but we cannot afford disobedience this time around.
Nothing gets done without a leader. For all terrible flaws of Trump 1.0, he was who we had. And Trump 2.0 has been through the fire. He is a vast improvement.
Everyone needs to obey. And now more than ever.
That would be more convincing if he were equally as strident with the people that scuttled Gaetz.
Gaetz was uniquely vunerable to the same kind of BS attacks they use to get the Ned Flanders/Wifejak types to attack Andrew Tate and Gaetz was scuttled behind the scenes.
Christians are a key part of the Trump coalition. When Christianity is in power, then it will be time to deal with the blue pillers, the Judeo Christians, and thelavender mafia. But right now, could not afford Gaetz.
Thermidor is always fractious and prone to shatter. Trump has to make compromises to hold it together, which compromises inevitably piss off one wing or the other.
Trump was mainly disastorously wrong in tolerating Republican party indiscipline in the 1st place (early covid was rather unique) now that hes adopted a policy of strict party discipline he cannot let Massie be an exception or the RINOs who have bent the knee (but are absolutely not Trump’s friends and probably are very very angry they’ve been made to bend the knee and hate Trump more than ever for their humiliation) will unbend it. Especially since Trump is spending the 1st part of his term applying harsh and painful medicine to purge the American economy of its fakeness and gayness.
Massie needs to be utterly destroyed for this.
Good luck with that. He has supermajority popularity in his home state, and Trump failed completely when he tried to primary him previously.
Well he needs to figure out how to do it because if he can’t control Massie the RINOs will rise against him soon. Not sure what appeal he needs to make or even if he has to look at other options but Massie misguided good man or no unfortunately has to be destroyed without mercy for this unless he bends the knee very quickly (which he seems self righteously determined not to do).
Also, Trump’s obsequious kowtowing to the Jewish lobby appears to be raising a lot of buzz on X. Seems like everybody is talking about it, especially in the polity region where the horseshoe ends meet.
Massie’s a hero to the “anti-Semitic” right.
He can’t trust American intel to kill Zelensky they’d just leak it to the press and not do it and Russia has for years said no on the grounds that Zelensky’s incompetence is in the long term an asset to them and Russia is in no hurry to sign a peace treaty… so Trump’s best option is to ask the Netanyahu for a favor.

“While we’re on this topic, do you have similar knowledge on the character and spread of Buddhism to the kingdoms of China, Korea and Japan?
The words and actions of Sakya Buddha contain no obvious evil, indeed there are an exceptional number of parables and deeds that parallel the words and deeds of Christ.
By the time it becomes Mahayana, looks like the priesthood is justifying itself and justifying infinite leftism in finite time, “we’re doing this to help you, you who doesn’t understand reality like we do,” but even in this form was capable of creating stable ruling faiths.
I suppose I’m wondering if you see evil at the core, or is this another good faith that saw corrosion due to a badly formatted priesthood?”
I answer (Imitating the format of Summa Halensis and Summa Theologicae of Alexander of Hales and Thomas Aquinas respectively:
Dear Fidelis “While we’re on this topic, do you have similar knowledge on the character and spread of Buddhism to the kingdoms of China, Korea and Japan?”
Although I do have knowledge about the spread of Buddhism to China, Korea and Japan based on Comparative Philological and Linguistophilological research, and I myself consider Myself to be Tibetan Buddhist in Nyingmapa so I asked Jim that question regarding identifying which entities were demons in the Buddhological Faith due to My faith in his intuition at grasping & unmasking demonic doctrines & entities, out of curiosity of course.
“The words and actions of Sakya Buddha contain no obvious evil, indeed there are an exceptional number of parables and deeds that parallel the words and deeds of Christ”
I am sure that Śākyamuni Buddha’s Earlier doctrines in Indian or Indo-Zoroastrian/Indo-Tibetan & Chinese Buddhism can be mirrored to Jesus Christ’s Doctrines
“By the time it becomes Mahayana, looks like the priesthood is justifying itself and justifying infinite leftism in finite time, “we’re doing this to help you, you who doesn’t understand reality like we do,” but even in this form was capable of creating stable ruling faiths.”
I infact don’t have any Omnicomposite knowledge regarding the Philosophogenesis/Doctrinogenesis/Philologicogenesis/Hermeneuticogenesis/Spiralogenesis/Cyclogenesis/Metaphysicogenesis/Theologicogenesis/Ontotheologicogenesis to borrow and reconstrue terms from the word ‘ethnogenesis’ and I suspect barely anyone does but the Earlier Mahayāna Sutras are indeed radically different and not overantinomian like the Vajrayāna/Tantrayāna/Mantrayāna/Sūtrayāna/Lakṣaṇayāna/Kālācakrayāna/Tathāgatayāna/Bhairavayāna Tibetan traditions both linguistically and doctrinally-doctrinologically, to answer your question I don’t see any evil at the core of What Śākyamuni Buddha originally said and any evil in Tibetan Buddhism is ambiguous to Me due to its cosmology although some of it is terrifying (one thing noteworthy is that some of the Female Deities like Vajrayoginī, Guhyajñāna, Vajrakāpalinī, Vajravetali, Vajravarahi are more ferocious than even already Greatly Cuel male deities like Vajrabhairava, there might be something more at its core as it does transfuse and attempts to Transcend and Transmutate a Bunch of Older Hindoo Demons but I’m not sure as I’m not actually initiated in these Traditions beyond Autodidacticist Philologico-semantic knowledge I’m good at creating and superpositioning/transposing mantras on My own in Sanskrit though despite having a Layman’s knowledge of Sanskrit), there does appear to be a problem in Tibet with Priesthood as early as Mediaeval Times in the statecraft but I’m clueless about the origins, telos and arche of that problem.
Just read these books on the spread of Buddhism to the kingdoms of China, Korea and Japan, it’s better to read and judge for yourself based on your own deductive-abductive judgment rather than rely on the words of others as I can’t make sweeping generalizations on the Epistemologogenesis/Logogenesis/Doctrinogenesis of Buddhism as I said, so around 50 books are most recommended by Me on Buddhism in the context you’re asking:
