Why is Racism against whites tolerated in Asia? https://www.quora.com/Why-does-racism-against-Asians-go-ignored-unpunished-and-unacknowledged-in-the-United-States

[L]eft the video on, and ended up listening to Brits debate policy all night, and it is very clear that there is a difference between the moral structure of British argument and the LEGAL structure of american argument. In my dreams I kept arguing with people about the use of nonsense words. There is also…

Amoral (non-cooperative)Objectively Moral (necessary for formation of a cooperative polity)Normatively Moral (adaptations for structures of reproduction / production /Commons) Assuming a moral norm may be moral, if not amoral, or immoral.Contractually Moral (adaptations for structures of reproduction / production / commons) Assuming a moral contract may be moral, if not amoral, or immoral.Lawfully Moral (codifications…

Lets first state that the question itself is stated uses improper loading and framing. (See writing in EPrime for proper construction of questions. )  A better phrasing of such a question is: “Is the Human Rights Movement an extension of Western Imperialism?” 1) The question depends FIRST upon whether you consider REGIONAL Religious, Political, Cultural,…

Conservatism refers to a certain set of traditions most visible in Aristocratic egalitarian ethics, Anglo of Rule of Law under Natural and Common Law, and the family as both sacred and the primary unit of both reproduction and production.  https://www.quora.com/What-living-figure-most-embodies-the-ideal-of-an-American-conservative

The first question of ethics is ‘Why don’t I kill you and take your stuff?’. The first question of politics is “Why don’t me and mine kill you and yours and take your stuff?” The first question of group evolutionary strategy is “How can we either kill them and take their stuff, or prevent them…

The question is somewhat interesting since both Human Rights (which are all property rights by the way), and Sovereignty are ambitions one can seek to produce not states of nature that must be abridged.   However, the misleading nature of the question aside: The ‘Postwar Consensus’ and the International Charter of Human Rights, were designed to…

(religion) [J]ust because your ancestors valued a particular comforting lie or falsehood is not a reason to perpetuate the lie or falsehood. We are comfortable now with suppressing lies with physical science where were were not so in the past. We are currently uncomfortable with suppressing lies in social science: ethics, politics, economics, religion, and…

[I] think, that if I could say something useful to young libertarian and conservative men and women, it would be that fulfillment and money are increasingly difficult to find in combination. Worse, you cannot any longer look for insurance from a stable family. Worse, it is now nearly impossible to save for your old age…

[C]ONTRARY TO THE WORDS OF USEFUL IDIOTS IN THE WEST 1) The revolution was financed by local oligarchs not americans, because the president got greedy and threatened the other oligarchical clans. The American state department supports all people’s economic prosperity and economic development because this leads to peace, wealth, and governments hat focus on internal…

(by Eli Harman) [N]o man is born free. Rights must be won, and rights must be defended. (All rights are property rights.) No man can do that alone. So you accept limits on your freedom in order to confederate, to cooperate, and win what you may. As a practical matter, we can say that liberty…

[A]ristotle and Plato : Natural Law (vision but failure) Augustine and The Church. (incremental improvement – but failure) Hobbes, Locke, Smith and Hume (incremental improvement but bordering on science) Menger (Austrian/Galacian Science – German Rational tradition) 1840 Mises (Jewish/Galacian pseudoscience – jewish legal tradition) 1881 Hayek (German/Anglo Empirical – Adopted Anglo legal tradition) 1899 (failure…

THE MIDDLE CLASS NEGOTIATES. ARISTOCRACY PROSECUTES. WOMEN, PRIESTS, AND STATE APOLOGIZE. [I] prosecute falsehoods. I’m agnostic in prosecuting falsehoods. I prosecute libertarian and conservative falsehoods as hard or harder than I prosecute progressive falsehoods. Why? Because libertarian and conservative literature, philosophy, and rhetoric has been a demonstrated failure in competition against socialist, feminist, and postmodern…

—“Honestly though, there needs to be a debate between Curt and Stefan.”— [L]ook I love Stefan Molyneux. I don’t want to debate him. I think the two of us together to could radically transform the libertarian and conservative movements for the better. I think we could have a panel discussion with the two of us,…

Is your example different from someone buying blocks of the best tix for a rock concert, and then selling those tix for profit at far higher prices? Well, I can go other way with a private property, but not common property. We cannot privatize the commons. that’s the entire point of commons. I’m not big…

[H]ere in Ukraine, speculators buy up appointments to apply for visas, and then sell them for 1000UAH (about $50, in a country where people make $200 a month and raise children on it.) Now, according to libertarianism this is moral, ethical, and non-aggression. According to propertarianism (and human nature) this is not a productive, fully…
