  • 1550 Policy Concepts
    Everybody’s got a policy even if they don’t quite know what it is.
    1. Propaganda is indoctrination by the other side.
    2. Fentanyl isn’t the cause of the epidemic of death, it’s the result.
    3. Anti-racism is the opposite of positive personal attributes.
    4. Single, childless cat ladies may soon be the most populous kind.
    5. The U.S. could do big business in exporting its criminals.
    6. It’s remarkable anyone stays married.
    7. Nationalism is socialism with flags.
    8. Liberty requires capitalism even with all the warts.
    9. Consumerism is voluntary slavery.
    You may get your news somewhere else but take your advice from me, the Wysest Myn in the Wyrld.

  • 1549 Consumerism
    The discourse about consumerism is vague because even though it’s cast as something bad, everyone likes to buy stuff; they imagine consumerism is cheap TVs at Walmart. While that perception is not too far from reality, it doesn’t encompass the trade-offs, which are substantial, maybe existentially important to society. To understand the problem, you have to realize that society used to be worker-centric because workers were the backbone of an industrial economy. As the U.S., and West in general, became more about information & finance, workers lost much of their previous value, so much so that we changed to a consumer-centric society. The focus changed from economic security for workers to cheaper goods for consumers.
    It’s humorously, but insightfully, been said that we buy things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t know. The people selling us those things don’t care about their customers any more than how to instill the desire to buy their product, using whatever means possible, be it subconscious, hypnotic or fear of missing out; and financiers don’t care about anything but increasing their already great concentrated wealth. They want monthly payments forever, as high as possible, no matter the burden it places on the regular people who owe them. Consumerism is the perfection of slavery because it achieves what the Elites want, control, and the masses are unwilling to rebel because they can’t go without a bigger TV.

  • 1548 The Need for Capitalism
    America was founded on the idea of free market economics; the idea that through hard work and commerce, people could exchange what they made for what others made to the benefit of all. Free markets don’t require capitalism to operate; it’s more a convenience & magnifier, based on the concept of imaginary money, capital, which is obviously how it gets its name. Workers receive wages which they consume. In most cases, workers, the actual producers, don’t have any capital, they live day-to-day, hopefully putting away something for the future. On the other hand, capitalists, who don’t produce anything, simply receive gains on their capital so the reality of compounding naturally causes concentration & stratification of wealth, and the more imaginary money there is, the worse it gets.
    With this kind of guaranteed outcome from capitalism, it may seem that getting rid of it would be a good idea, which is where communism gets a foothold. However, as bad as the side effects of capitalism are, it’s still required for free markets to work. Assume everyone received an egg a day as payment. Eggs are delicate and easily broken. If there was no reward for risking your egg, you wouldn’t because you might go hungry; capitalism is the enticement for risking your egg. So it’s not capitalism per se, it’s the excesses of capitalism that are causing the problems, and those are simple to solve via wealth confiscation, though that hasn’t proven to be easy because with great wealth comes great power, and power doesn’t want its wealth taken.

  • 1547 Nationalism
    The word “nationalist” is thrown around a lot by the Left as a pejorative. It doesn’t resonate as much as calling people you don’t agree with a “Fascist,” but has the same vibe because nationalism is part of Fascism, as much as socialism is, hence the word “Nazi” derived from combining the two words in German. Nationalism is a very insidious form of socialism because at first they seem opposite of one another, when in reality, nationalism is the same thing but wrapped in a flag.
    Some people in the U.S. might even consider themselves nationalists because they conflate it with patriotism. They can be lauded for their intent because patriotism is an essential part of liberty, but nationalism is not compatible with liberty. Nationalism is country first, meaning that people would be forced to do what’s in the best interest of the state, which could conflict with their personal liberty. In the extreme case, where everyone’s liberty is threatened, as in the case of war, the state’s need may be paramount. However, short of war, the state should not interfere with the personal autonomy of its population except in instances that create the most liberty for the most people. Unfortunately, since most people don’t actually know what liberty is: making decisions for yourself and reaping the rewards or suffering the consequences, they’re not aware that nationalism interferes with that.

  • 1546 Startling Infidelity Statistics
    The underlying cause of divorce due to infidelity in the U.S. is approximately 90%. The divorce rate is approximately 50%. Assuming that only a third of infidelity is actually discovered, that would mean virtually every marriage has had at least one partner cheat over its duration. 70% of all divorces are instigated by women. If they have a college degree, then the number is 90%. It’s the inverse for men because only the top 10% of men have the opportunity to cheat, which means that virtual all men who can cheat, do cheat, but the vast majority of men do not, which means it’s primarily their wives who are doing the cheating.
    10% of the time, a married woman cheats during “girls night out.” Only the top 10% of women get approached to cheat; that means virtually every attractive woman has cheated after a dozen girls nights. Any woman will cheat given the right time, place & opportunity. Since every attractive woman is approached when the time & place are right, meaning they are without their husband at a place with men, even a woman who would never imagine she would cheat, even with 1000 to 1 odds, will cheat over the course of 1000 approaches. There is no such thing as a woman having a platonic hetero male friend: if she offered him sex, he would enthusiastically take it. It’s remarkable that anybody remains married?

  • 1545 Exporting Criminals
    Everyone knows that Australia started out as a penal colony where offenders were unloaded and left to their own devices. It wasn’t someplace civilized people would want to live but for the kind of people shipped there, it was perfect. That kind of environment exists in several countries today, notably Haiti. There’s an excellent case to be made that long-term prisoners from the U.S. should be sent there. It’s not a unique idea, the cult classic movie “Escape From New York” represents exactly that scenario. It seems inhumane but no one can quite express exactly why?
    It would be a dog-eat-dog environment but many, perhaps all of those incarcerated would chose it if the offer was made. Being free in a war zone is better than being incarcerated in one, which is what prison is. The homosexual sex aspect alone would force most men to take any opportunity out, and everybody would benefit: Haiti would reverse its brain drain where anyone intelligent enough emigrates, the prisoners would be able to build a new life, albeit a brutal one, and it would export the worst people from polite society, as well as saving the government a lot of money, but no politician ever talks about it. Why not? What voting constituent would they be losing? Perhaps the problem is Haiti doesn’t want any more hardened criminals?

  • 1544 Single, Childless Cat Ladies
    J.D. Vance told Tucker Carlson for all the world to hear: “The U.S. is being run by a bunch of single, childless cat ladies, who are miserable and want to make everyone else miserable too.” The truism slapped feminists in face because the shoe fits. Projections are, by 2030, half of women will be single & childless. This is something they chose: a lot of women would rather not have a husband or children because of the burden it would put on their life goals and them personally. Even a lot of the women who do get married would rather raise their kids alone than continue to provide sex, sandwiches & submission to their husbands, and a lot get divorced to not have to give those things, yet still be supported by him.
    70% of single women are Democrats. 90% of the people on Welfare are single women. They are nuns to the government; the state is essentially their life partner, substituting for a husband & family. That’s why the goals of Democrats all seem to be at the expense of men for the benefit of women, which is the reason they are inordinately afraid of Trump because, in essence, he becomes their abusive spouse; at least in their perception, because they fear he will make them accountable for their own actions. From a purely cynical & selfish point of view, they are coming to a logical decision. The only way to stop this corrosion of society is to again indoctrinate girls to be wives and not cat ladies.

  • 1543 Anti-Racism
    Most white people don’t like being called names, and they certainly don’t like being accused of “White privilege,” because it’s insulting by diminishing their real accomplishments, but it’s true. There is White privilege because there is White Supremacy. White Supremacy is thinking the value system of Whites is superior to those of other cultures. We know that’s true by how well we’re doing: most grew up in loving homes with stable schools and helpful extended families, at least to some extent. Even the worst of White households are better than living in Sub Saharan Africa, for example. Maybe calling that a privilege is going too far but it’s definitely a positive thing that other races don’t have.
    White Supremacy includes merit, honesty & integrity, among other admirable traits like punctuality, conscientiousness & responsibility. In today’s heated political rhetoric, that list of things would be considered “racist.” This implies that “anti-racist” is lying, cheating and most forms of chicanery. In fact, from watching the tactics of the Left, that’s probably the case, which is why all the things the Left does seem evil: because they are evil in comparison, at least by White supremacist standards. The Right believes anyone can become a White supremacist because it has nothing to do with the color of your skin or where your ancestors came from; it’s all about how you act.

  • 1542 Fentanyl Deaths
    Fentanyl is synthetic heroin. It was created in the 1950s but only became popular when legal access to morphine, like codeine, was restricted a decade ago. Oxycontin was a scam propagated by Purdue Pharma, controlled by the Sackler family, who became inordinately wealthy at the expense of society. It was criminalized and when addicts could no longer get those relatively safe drugs, they switched to readily available fentanyl, and overdose deaths skyrocketed. As usual, the law of unintended consequences was worse than the solution. From a moral perspective, the Sackler’s can be held indirectly responsible for those deaths too.
    Why are these drugs even popular? The industry claims they alleviate pain, and that’s true, but recreational use, as it’s called, dwarfs legitimate utility. People, especially men who have given up on life, have always used drugs as an escape, but never with the availability & deadliness of fentanyl, approaching 80K deaths/year, and substantially more overdoses prevented by quick administration of epinephrine via an emergency “EpiPen.” Contrary to political posturing, fentanyl is manufactured in and distributed from Mexico, with some ingredients from China, but if those weren’t available, there’s plenty of other sources. The problem isn’t who sends it here, the problem is why people take it, and if they’re going to take it no matter what , why no supervision like with methadone clinics?

  • 1541 Propaganda
    People can be easily brainwashed. For example, many have been convinced that an invisible man lives in the sky, or that a changing climate is an existential threat; if it’s said enough times by authority figures with no countervailing message. Even with the presence of a competing idea, one with superior logic & merit, once the indoctrination window is past, there is no changing anyone’s mind. That’s why elections are always so even; no matter what happens to either side, however much good or terrible, it won’t change anything. This is certainly a huge weakness of democracy, possibly a fatal one, and something the propagandists understand; getting their message across during the formative period; for children that would be public school, or adults, that would be their introduction to a new concept. The Left has recognized this basic fact for decades, while the Right remains blindly docile while it happens to their own kids.
    That’s because the Right believes in live & left live, at least as long as it’s not pushed into their faces. However, the base emotions of envy, resentment, exploitation & narcissism, something the Left is susceptible to, keeps them from simply minding their own business, rather than proselytizing their message to vulnerable listeners, utilizing propaganda to mold & control the public zeitgeist. At first glace, it seems all bad, but there is a difficult conundrum because only brainwashing can suppress people from acting on their base emotions, so it’s not something that can be ignored. The Right must fight propaganda with propaganda.
