At 0.1% interest already, this means inflation already makes it negative. Why the fuck did they go for Brexit if they were not going to get their act together? Who knows...

If you don't really need containment...It might just work!

Pretty much perfectly captures it

He's correct that it's tech which will actually liberate you. This was the core thesis of "Tragedy and Hope" and is not wrong.

If the USA is so powerful, how is it that it failed to crush Russia? What about Iran? Or, in extremis, Venezuela? Yet, even the the last case, the “best” this supposed World Hegemon did was send a few clueless ex-special ops to get caught and give case of hysterical laughter to the entire Latin American continent!

The inability of the empire to yanno...be imperial is a slow poison, much like the factions I speak of in the previous post.

He correctly sees that lack of retaliation against enemies (showing weakness) to political factions is usually what causes revolutions. What he doesn't understand is that the Wokeists are already in charge, and this is more of a mass religious conversion of the elite.

I think the bias against the able in this new religion has planted the seed for future revolution, however. Without the able backing them they will increasingly rely on a hostile faction, making revolution inevitable.

Unz is right to point out the suppression of the Hunter story was the "real steal".

"I am Open" movement reminds me of Greeks' "We won't pay". Hope they keep it up.

Trump Admin rushing to complete this waste of time that's only keeping out Jaguars.

Lol, someone really must have wanted to fund Fuentes' catboy expeditions to Thailand as his legacy?

I love how Scott leads on this one: "I know you are asking... Which ones!" 20 Years of fighting and the pentagram is still helping Uzbeks, Tajiks and Hazaras murder each others' children.

Pretty much what you expect, the "justice" system is the inversion of what people actually want out of it.

It's needed for fast reproduction. This is also why anaerobic exercise causes hypertrophy.

The market for cruelty is a real thing. It is one special case of the market for power. As everyone has known since Gutenberg was a little boy, people like to read and believe things that make them powerful, or make them feel powerful. These powerful ideas experience a selective advantage in the Darwinian marketplace of ideas.

Important. I said much the same in "no market for liberty" -- there is no desire for freedom, but for "justice" AKA vengeance and cruelty.

LOL

Erik Voorhees gonna get blackbagged soon? Note that this means the OTC market is effectively back!

Well, that's one way to justify all their deaths as no longer worthy of being war crimes.

Yarvin's latest. It's spot on.

They'll never stop persecuting him.

Folk science starts becoming real.

Very interesting to see a mainstream Author like Lind essentially embracing the "new right" view on the Cathedral. His book essentially concludes we will get a high tech caste system run by the clerisy, and perpetual peasant revolts as a result.

One of the benefits of being buddies with Big Daddy Gates?

Yesterday was a death rattle of the establishment gods. They have sown the seeds of their own destruction over the decades and now reap its bitter harvest. These self-anointed elites, these circle-jerking naked emperors, they do not recognize the rapidly falling darkness. Even were these "gods" to recognize the gallows on the horizon, they cannot admit their complicity in their end. To do so would be to concede they are human, not gods. And that they cannot do.

Yesterday was beautiful. Watching people tear down the veil like the soviet peasants in '89. We shall see if the .gov goons fly off the handle or not. If they don't massively overreact, this will embolden the peasantry and it's over for Mordor. If they do it will simply radicalize them further. There is now no way out for DC.

BONUS: Yarvin's take. He's certainly right to be more sanguine about the significance; neither party was taking the other seriously, otherwise there would have been senators that ended up like Ghaddafi in a culvert. Nevertheless, it's the start of something real; a right that doesn't worship the feds.

Since they were only fishing in the Rubicon, not making any kind of practical plan to actually cross it, if they accidentally do cross it, they are lost. They will just wander around in the endless fields of Chianti, "wondering why the level isn't ending," until some Roman asswipe finds them and kills them with a spear.

BONUS II: Greenwald's Take. Entirely sensible as expected, so nobody will listen.
