It’s impossible, since democracy is only capable of selecting priorities among people with homogenous interests, and impossible to select between conflicting choices among people with heterogeneous interests. Markets let us cooperate on means despite different ends – no monopolies. Democracy is a monopoly in which we cannot cooperate on means because of different ends. Democracy…

Laws cannot be given, they can only be discovered. Lawgiving is logically impossible. One can issue commands. One can negotiate contractual provisions on your behalf. But one cannot create law, only command, legislation, regulation, and contractual provision. There is one natural law, that can be stated in the positive or negative, but must be stated…

They are about 1–2K online. Good for non-border use. Call a local immigration lawyer, make an appointment, pay him, ask him how you get a driver’s license. That’s all you need. Once you have that you can order an online passport. As long as you don’t use them in airports or to cross borders it…

To get status signals and attention in a country where everyone is desperately lonely, lives an an illusion of their own making created out of consumer goods, and lacks any kind of validation from others because everyone else is doing the same thing. Yes, that’s really the reason. https://www.quora.com/Why-do-people-in-America-take-something-thats-innocent-and-turn-it-into-something-that-they-think-is-racist

Fascism is a ‘military’ strategy for Marshaling all economic, political, and cultural resources for the purpose of opposing Bolshevism, Communism, Socialism, and totalitarianism by the conduct of military, economic and cultural warfare. Just as Napoleonic Total War is a strategy for marshaling all national resources for the conduct of military warfare prior to the industrial…

Natural Law (Empirically Discovered Law) consists of general rules, that are location, demographic, custom, culture, and religion independent methods of providing decidability in matters of conflict. (Law is prohibitive -negative- assertions) Negative ethics of Natural Law are usually reducible to the Silver Rule: do not unto others as you would not have done unto you.…

It’s Utopian, dysgenic, devolutionary, and entirely false, which is why it sells. You don’t think religions sell because they’re realistic or true? Neither do political ideologies. Here is some humbling and painful truth: 1) Those civilizations that were most successful in preventing from access to food, delaying reproduction, preventing access to reproduction, enslaving, starving, killing,…

Author’s note. I like this post because it shows how we can educate people on controversial issues. [G]reat question. I’m going to answer this set of questions in a different order from the one they were asked: –“Have you spent much time on taxation and it’s various forms? Perhaps you could do a post on…

—“Do you believe that morality beyond self-interest is entirely false as a result?”— [I] don’t believe in anything, because the term is archaic.

1) Conservatism must speak in historical, moral, allegorical, and religious language because if stated ratio-scientifically it’s reducible to ‘eugenics in everything’, just as all of western civilization has been since the Kurgan invasions. So conservatives do not lie they just do not speak the truth. 2) Neo-Liberalism is just an attempt to turn america into…

I am personally, within my lifetime, going to convert the (rather large) Alt Right into the New Right. The reasons why this is easy, has almost everything to do with geographic distribution and demographics. https://www.quora.com/How-large-is-the-alternative-right-How-fast-is-it-growing

Where in the world is NOT racist that is not homogenous and poor, or homogenous and rich? https://www.quora.com/How-racist-is-the-South-in-the-U-S

It hasn’t been. Its state corporatism that has been successful in china. China is run as a for-profit corporation of 1+billion people, using the country’s intergenerational borrowing capacity to attempt to create a modern consumer economy by using that borrowing capacity to move vast numbers of people from villages to urban centers in the hope…

THE COMPLETE ANSWERThe world wars dramatically changed western civilization to which we said ‘never again’. This has driven american policy since world war one. American treats europe as a set of petulant client states that are incapable of self rule. This is not new. Americans have believe this of europeans since the founding of the…
