Every single Conservative institution in America is staffed with legacy-admit catamites Image Some are asking why this is so; others asking why we can't just Let People Enjoy Things

You can answer both these questions with another question: "In an economy captured by rentiers, what can young people offer old incumbents in exchange for access?"

For most of human history, if you heard of something really bad happening, you should probably deal with it because it was probably very close by

The problem is that, from a God's eye view, there are really bad things happening everywhere all the time

The power of global communications networks to aggregate & disseminate global-scale (& basically factual) atrocity propaganda broke a lot of people's brains - John Brown being just the most extreme case

The problem is that no society can survive this kind of scrutiny, so there is endless (& emotionally comprehensible) will to tear it all down to the last brick in the pursuit of justice

For instance, if you wanted to subject "parenting" to this kind of scrutiny there's absolutely no way it would survive it - the stories of abuse are bloodcurdling & you could stack them to the moon

Eventually you have to acknowledge that power & freedom are inseparable, the power to do good implies the power to do evil, & the only universal equality these people have ever achieved is the universal equality of the mass grave The Marxist critique of society (of which John Brown was a spiritual forefather) is Luciferian - man's agency is a curse, he is unworthy of it, it must be taken from him

Everyone equal under me

I think people are tired of all sorts of things about a legal bureaucracy that was created to cope with radically different standards of evidence

This case is obvious in a way that no case could have been when these protections were created Literally every day people see cases where it's 100% obvious what needs to happen but instead we have to wait 6 mo or a year or 25 years to come to that obvious conclusion (best case)

Worst case, we find one of a million technicalities that demand we avoid the obvious conclusion

You may have noticed that the violent reaction is dominated by boomers & trans

Common factor is a need to retroactively maintain a personal narrative - "Temporal Bioleninism"

Liberal boomers burned down millennia of culture, wealth, & wisdom, sold their inheritance to foreigners, abandoned their families - & all of that was justified by the postwar progressive political project

If that project is repudiated by their grandchildren - if they find themselves, ironically, "on the wrong side of history" - then it all came to nothing

It would mean that, actually, they were just assholes - their ideology was always a self-serving joke, the story of their lives is pure waste & loss & tragedy, they are already in hell

& since the book of their lives is written, & there's nothing they can do about it, they'll do pretty much anything that lets them believe a different story about themselvesImage

Image Likewise, these guys are watching American society give up on the ideological project that convinced them to cut off their dicks & wreck their endocrine systems with exogenous hormones

Can't be undone - like the boomers their only hope is to change what it means, in retrospectImage

down syndrome is a random error and usually renders the person infertile, it's not heritable & cannot be "eliminated" in any permanent way except by continuously killing the kids who get it compromise: Spartan infanticide but the spergs in my replies have to do it by hand

Kripke realized he wasn't hurting the chuds' feelings & it made him so mad that he turned the show into Jud Suss Genuinely the most anti-semitic & homophobic media product I've ever seen

He just makes the corporate Hollywood pornographer illuminati blond & gives the nauseating sexual behavior to the chuds

Then he beats them to death with a menorah

In the three countries in which it arose, fascism was a reaction of the middle-class to the unwillingness or incapacity of the ruling class to resist communism

In each case the ruling class (correctly) regarded the fascists as boorish, historically illiterate, & dangerous This guy was not a Nazi who grew a liberal conscience

He was an aristocrat who watched as his country was slowly piloted into an iceberg by a gang of dumb schizos on meth

whether he could have done any more than he did is an interesting question Image

Dune 2 is about God making fools of everyone including Denis Villeneuve & Frank Herbert

There's a true story here & it's just extremely obvious where the storytellers are not true to it

The stuff that doesn't work sticks out so clearly as an edit, not of a piece with the whole Timothèe Chalameê: mostly very good

The parts where he is "acting" Messianic are where he is most true & believable

The parts where he resists his mission & despairs that they won't let him be a humble ordinary boy ring false

(this is the whole movie in microcosm)

If a category includes everything, it means nothing

"limiting" & "exclusionary" is literally what categories are

of course he's implying some ineffable *spiritual* essence to Scottishness but if you try to nail him down on who exemplifies it he'll say that's exclusionary too And if there is some ineffable spiritual essence to Scottishness, do we offer govt benefits or franchise only to True Scotsmen?

Obviously not - the purpose of this kind of talk is not to define the category under consideration but to eradicate it

You can tell your churchgoing aunt that her faith is being deployed cynically by people who hate her, but she's not supposed to care who makes the critique - only whether it's true

Can you explain to her why she shouldn't wash an abortionist's feet?

That's all that matters The lie here is not that Jesus said to Love Your Enemies (he did, & you should)

The lie is that you ought to prefer your enemies, or that your enemies get to tell you what loving them means, or that loving your enemies is inconsistent with arguing with them, or killing them

Disparate impact is the stealth abolition of private property

Disparate impact renders all goods de facto non-excludable - anything you offer to customers must also be accessible to vandals & parasites

Which means that all goods become a Commons, subject to the Tragedy thereof Disparate impact is not an immediate & direct abolition of property because the impact is examined in court, case by case

So instead of a spasm of bolshevik violence you have this spreading tumor of communist dysfunction in every domain where disparate impact has been tested

Catastrophe is a commons

Institutions can't respond to the threat of demographic collapse for the same reason they can't respond to the threat of nuclear war

The problem is so catastrophic that you can't bet on being right about it

(full episode here: ) blog.exitgroup.us/p/54-natal-con…
Yep - the only groups that can respond to existential risks like these are groups that might conceivably survive them

Your family can prepare for demographic collapse - your retirement fund manager can't

(which means there's arbitrage lying around)

My daughter chose blue & I asked her why & she said "because I like blue" so now I am conflicted "If everyone chooses red then there's no problem"

"Yeah but if everyone chooses blue there's also no problem"

If you are a single woman you need to understand: you do not have male friends, you have suitors

Sometimes it's because they "just want sex", but more often it's because:

>men will develop romantic feelings for almost any woman they genuinely like being around

>suppressing… https://t.co/yF2qDqclFotwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
this is why the friendzone is such an ugly trap

A man being willing to accept that position is prima facie evidence of a lack of self-respect or a lack of honesty - usually both - & women can smell it on you, which makes you even less desirable than before

Ammon is a Good Shepherd, dealing with hirelings who do not own the sheep, who flee when the wolves come

His story says flatly what Jesus leaves implicit: the shepherd's job is to fight wolves Image Jesus lays his life down for the sheep - meaning, presumably, getting eaten instead

He conquers the threat by being so abundant as to exhaust it

Death swallowed up in victory, leading captivity captive

(This saying baffled the Jews, who said he was mad & had a devil) Image

The Church has been running both of these playbooks in parallel since the 1950s, to different audiences

Now that everybody hears everything that is said in public (& the Church's public profile has risen as one of the last holdouts), that kind of targeting is no longer possible The Church's tone is confusing to outsiders but we've been hearing both narratives, "the growing gulf between righteous & wicked" & "our deep love & respect for our friends of other faiths" since most of us were born

Formalized eugenics has always struck me the same as rationalists trying to build minmaxed synthetic religions

You don't know how the organic thing works

You don't even know which variables matter, let alone how to adjust them or how they interact or what the tradeoffs are There's obviously a dumb version of this argument which is that bad matches are impossible or unimportant or don't happen at scale (they do)

But a psychically healthy person's sense of smell holds a more effective breeding algorithm than your data model

conservatives argue for a total ban on sex or violence because they're afraid to say what they really think (that some sex & violence is good, & some is bad) - & progressives are calling their bluff

There is no neutral, objective way to acculturate children Image & they're obviously framing this to divide us against Christians but no Latter-day Saint parent wants the Bible banned

the progressive atheist who submitted this complaint got them to ban the Book of Mormon as well

It would be one thing if these were bad or malicious decisions made by a tyrant, because you could kill him or try to persuade him - but there's no tyrant & not really even any decisions

Nobody's in charge, you are in a bus in the air over a gorge For instance wokeness is not a conspiracy, nobody seriously intended for it to happen, it's just entropy - mindless machines following the contours of a single incentive gradient
