The Neoconservative "movement" was really just two dozen tight-knit guys. Nearly the entire foreign policy establishment was opposed to invading Iraq but was overruled by this small coterie because they had Cheney's and Rumsfeld's ears.

Call it asabiyyah or esprit de corps but it's wild what a few guys who trust each other with their lives can achieve. 25 guys hijacked the entire U.S. foreign policy/military apparatus to launch a war on behalf of Israel. The "promoting democracy" stuff was post-facto face saving

Incredible policy success story from Pennsylvania in the WSJ. It turns out if you just starve the beast, the bureaucrats immediately fall into line.

In 2011, this is exactly what Obama's Department of Education did to university bureaucracies. They threatened to cut federal funding in case they didn't take action against Title IX violations, which later came to include "hate speech" and White men's right to free association. Image

64% of global pharma revenues are captured in the U.S. market despite Americans making up only 4% of global population.

Americans are charged exorbitant prices so Third Worlders can have subsidized medicine. This is the real reason Democrats will never lower prescription costs. For some pharmaceutical companies, nearly 80% of their revenues are captured in the U.S. market alone. Image

No libtard academic today can give a cogent explanation for why Arabs began to think of themselves as white upon their encounter with Sub-Saharan Africans. These people believe the concept of race was invented during the Enlightenment. A few illustrative examples of medieval Islamic texts:
The Pride of Blacks on Whites by Al-Jahiz
Sudan and their Ascendancy over Whites by Al-Marzaban
Promenade in Preference among Whites, Blacks and Coloured by Al-Suyuti

French Communist Party didn't call for resistance to the German-occupation of France until Hitler invaded USSR a year later. Communists approached Vichy authorities to offer to testify against social democrats and liberals. Incredible levels of patriotism and loyalty on display.

French Communist (and socialist) role in the Resistance was minor and greatly exaggerated by postwar propaganda. The leader of the French Communist Party deserted the army and was living in Moscow during the war.

Goldman Sachs is correct. No one actually knows the real Chinese GDP growth % in 2023. The US probably had higher GDP growth than China last year. China also stopped publishing tons of figures (like unemployment) that could be used to estimate GDP growth %. One of the best indicators of future corporate profitability aside from stock prices is corporate debt-to-GDP.

China’s growth was heavily credit-fueled but the return on every borrowed dollar has been shrinking + servicing debt cuts into corporate profitability.

The Smutt Question is more consequential than the Porn Question. Women spend hours reading that shit daily, men on average spend mere minutes watching porn. Further, it's well-established by science that the written word has longer lasting effects on the mind than visual content They want you talking about porn so you don't notice women are spending hours daily reading romance erotica. I will not be gaslit by the Longhouse!

The great conceit of liberal and socialist ideologies is that envy/ressentiment would wither away once equality in property/rank was realized. But the fact remains, as Schopenhauer observed, that the greatest source of hatred is metaphysical envy. Chiefly intelligence and beauty. Schopenhauer talks about this in many of his essays but this boils down his insight succinctly. Image

Patrice Lumumba and Chinua Achebe praised the objective benefits of European colonialism. Image

PART II of The Jews and Modern Capitalism by Werner Sombart.

In which Sombart turns Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and The Spirt of Capitalism on its head by arguing that the Calvinist spirit is nothing but the condensation of the Jewish spirit. ImageImage In the first part of the book, Sombart set out to describe the outward forms of Jewish success (i.e. in international trade, commerce, finance, etc.) Here is the thread for Part I:

I'm going to be covering The Jews and Modern Capitalism by the German sociologist and economist Werner Sombart.

Although he's one of the 20th century's most influential scholars, the book has been virtually forgotten for reasons that should become obvious when you read the text. ImageImage The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the facts and statistics. The second part consists of his interpretation thereof.

I will be covering the first part today and will complete the second part in a couple days.
