Some friends & I have all made a compact to do a shared substack, where we all rotate on contributions. Alas, I've been busy with academics, so my friend beat me to the punch of releasing the first article. Check it out if you have the time

Just imagine how the Genshin devs would have fed us if the Chinese didn’t have such prohibitive media laws. It still amazes me this much was approved.
@AnimeBibleVerse
This is a bit of a critique at the same time, as this is very much Nietzsche’s point about how Christianity paved the way for its own doom with socialism being its natural logical development.

It's legal to cross state lines... like guns are only an issue because of different permits between states, but anyone can cross any state border anytime they feel like it for any reason. What is this claim?
@knrd_z
Personally I view it as a social experiment that vindicates my own stance that multiracial society is an artificial construct that developed in the face of scarcity and insecurity, and that blood is the only reliable foundation for a state.

@lefttwick
Probably the same lot that will turn around and then write books on how important some obscure and irrelevant resistance cell was to the war effort.
I love this one immensely, it perfectly shows why Stonetoss is a capable comic, he latches onto two internet shit shows, slaps them together and makes a funny comic, and then leftists spread it around because it hurts their feelings as they needlessly attack eachother.
@consciousphilos
This isn't Machiavelli's point at all, precisely because he recognizes the importance of appearing moral and confirming to norms, his doctrine is defined by putting necessity & utility first over moral qualms. What good is a moral statesman if he loses to a foreign tyrant?

@drystbel
We need more people saying this, too many people like James Lindsay keep trying to persuade to right to put away the Schmittian solutions to the issue.

Economics, you invest in capital as labor becomes more expensive, but if labor is extremely cheap, then the return on capital isn’t worth it. (They would definitely benefit but this is the general reason for why third world industry is like this)

@lOverload
Astonishing, the people locked in a 75 year war of attrition don’t care when their soldiers kill the people who keep them blockaded. October 7th is just one outburst of violence, and as the follow up shows, Israel cares little for civilians either, they’re just higher tech.
@VDAREJamesK
The humanities are deeply important, it simply needs to be corrected, the corruption flows from them fit a reason, to defund them would solve little, what is needed is to reclaim them.

No, it’s that wage growth has not kept up with the cost increases of big ticket items like housing, cars, and education. Real wages have only grown by 20% since the 70s, whereas the inflation adjusted prices of these are all over 100%.

Identitarianism is the inevitable consequence when the center fails to deliver. The republicans in Congress have made clear they don’t have their core constituents interests at heart, and most young people are simply sick of AIPAC et al worship

‘But what have you done for us recently’ because apparently maintaining the overturning of Roe v Wade isn’t good enough. Greed is a sin too
@knrd_z
Tragically true, just realized most of what I read for my research was written ~20+ years ago because modern historians are too busy talking about Women in the German Empire to talk about Bismarck, Miquel, and Wilhelm II anymore.
@ArchTheAtheist
@SecretFire79
Ah because it definitely didn’t lead to any fundamental changes that reshaped the West and wasn’t the faith of the modernizing world powers…
Citizens have rights that are different from foreigners, felons, and noncitizen residents.
If you don't distinguish between citizen and noncitizen, you are a leftist of the worst breed.
@CovfefeAnon
More often it's their fault, because we also know that these quality reductions are not actually applied evenly, AA is the classic example of this made public, Whites and Asians are still held at higher standards, it's Blacks and Hispanics that the standard is actually lower for
One of the hallmarks of tyranny is reliance upon foreigners as opposed to the native population of the regime, when this is understood, many habits of governments in the West make a lot more sense.
@JoelWBerry
@_kruptos
It’s not a lie because it’s entirely real, and caste is just a proxy for class, which is quite real. You are a liar trying to swindle Christians to act against their own interests.
@knrd_z
@ForLangley
I am tragically still in theory and you are correct. I’m probably going to write something on Democratic absolutism and the modern state.
@clrobertstad
@ConceptualJames
Lindsay wants to prune the state, real right wingers want to destroy the leftists within the bureaucracy and replace them with right wingers.
@BeUngovernab1e
@AnimeBibleVerse
It’s a historical claim, I’d argue most people have a bad understanding, as Nietzsche’s point centers on the intellectual evolution that came out if the general reduction and subsequent prominence given to particular tenants (particularly its respect for the meek and weak)
@Aristos_Revenge
Officers are a product of the universities which should make it no surprise why they are so captured, they were produced by captured institutions, hence only enlisted are actually proud Americans.

And yet the Plumber is still not a lawyer. Best case scenario this kid gets radicalized and goes to a state school and then becomes a right wing lawyer.

@AvgHumanMother
You don’t seem to understand the argument made. You are working in the frame of the established social contract, but if the contract has been violated, it releases us from our obligation and we are morally permitted to reclaim our natural right to establish a new one. Read Locke.
Even if the infighting on the right is dreadful for business, at least shit like the BAPists vs Groypers has substance, the left just fucking rips into its own on literal whims and hurt feelings alone.
@ArchTheAtheist
@SecretFire79
And yet Christianity is the faith of those societies that developed secularism in the first place. Your fore-bearers like Marx and Rousseau both understood that Christianity’s novel relationship with Politics is actually what enabled the idea of secularism in the first place.
@wanyeburkett
This is what the media literacy types forget, media once created has its own life, and ultimately, the people decide what meaning cultural products have, the artist merely has an intention when creating, but they can’t control its final evaluation.

@LemanWalters
After just telling a guy to kill themself too, it’s embarrassingly shameless. The answer is the need to occupy the intellectual high ground, they’re right because they have ‘the science’ with them, psychiatry is to them what God is to the right.
The quote tweets on this are amazing, they blame the retarded leftist for ‘facilitating it’ as if Basil were actively conspiring with him, while the comments are like ‘dOeS hE kNoW tHe ArT iS aBoUt SA’ missing it’s done precisely to mock the faux moral outrage.
@JacksonRowellFL
@ScottMGreer
Child dynamics were different, children were economic assets, now they’re economic liabilities. The decline in birth rates is very much because child raising is vastly more expensive.
@knrd_z
I hate these people so very fucking much, as all this does is further degrade the status of social science. It's well deserved, but my God, the social sciences used to be the most respected realm, now look at us. From men like Plato & Hobbes to this rubbish.
@YeOldeWordSmyth
@NewAtlantisSun
The average Mexican policeman makes 500 usd a month, a traffic light installation in the US costs between 150k and 250k. The march of civilization is slow and expensive.
@scolerkolo
@eyeslasho
That’s a good one, jests aside it’s a bit of a mix, foreigners with weak civilization attachments, and disenchanted locals who no longer believe in native institutions because they no longer serve said native populace.

@AvgHumanMother
The nation and regime are different, and too many people forget this. The constitution was supposed to protect the nation, but if it fails the nation then we owe it no loyalty,
@captivedreamer7
@VDAREJamesK
He doesn’t, Kirkpatrick is a consistent realist in that he has some hope, but also doesn’t shy away from calling out undue optimism.
‘Noooo, you’re committing a heckin’ treason by not allowing infinite shitskins into your country because the founders totally wanted them all as citizens.’
Fuck off Lindsay, the founders were racist, America is a European nation, and we will save it from the nons.
@natsu_batsu
Dithering idiots them all, god I hate larpers, yes homosexuality is a sin but my God show some cognizance of the degrees, Karms and Excess are both sweet. Everyone sins a dozen times through the day and yet these tards act like it’s akin to apostasy.

Millennials make less out the gate relative to amount boomers made freshly graduate, and left college with less debt, so boomers had an easier time acquiring capital and achieving independence. Frugality is a virtue always, but the mileage you get is still determined by income.
I actually admire unitary systems and think federalism is overrated, but it’s not a flaw, it’s just a product of a different value system and relationship between the central authority and its provinces. You can argue the principles of federalism are mistaken, but institutions…
Most reflective shitlib, no need to ask why, or question if maybe unfettered mass migration from the third world isn’t a good thing, just demonize and double down and assert that you know better than them what is in their own self-interest.
Noooo but the blue collar workers who vote for fascists are just small beans 🥺the real enemies is the 1%, they’re the evil fascists 😡 the RN core demographics was forced to be racist 💔
@_kruptos
Bourgeois economic, social, and political domination imposed at gun point and declared legitimate through legality, just as Schmitt described in 1922.
The soldier and the farmer are honored because they are the actual bedrocks of society. Water sanitation is nice, but you had cities before that, you have no civilization without the soldiers and farmers, everything beyond them is a civilizational luxury.
The idea that farmers should be a protected class because they grow our food is absurd, there's so many jobs a society couldn't function without, you don't see water treatment workers take a shit in water tanks with people going "DON'T MESS WITH THE PEOPLE GIVING YOU WATER"
Which are designed with a federal system in mind should be judged by the logic of the native system. To judge a federal system by unitary methodologies would of course make it seemed flawed but the logic of the systems is different so such reasoning is inherently flawed,
@ChivalryGuild
I think we are, Tocqueville imagined that the equality of conditions would only get more extreme, but modernity is definitely moving against equality of conditions. It seems ever since WW2 the capacity for distinguishing elite from commoner is growing.
@knrd_z
Honestly esotericism is overrated, good fiction conveys its message subtly, but not necessarily deliberately opaquely either. The Straussians are full of shit
@Callicles420
Also, at least it means you can get a sugar daddy and it not be totally anathema. I tragically suffer a narcissus complex, which is a lot harder to satisfy.
The actual flaw of the senate is the direct election of senators imo. The senate is supposed to represent the state government, not its people. The senate is argue violates its guiding principles with direct election, as it’s effectively just a second House of Representatives.
@ChivalryGuild
Much the same, I do love Tocqueville’s presentation of the old order and its virtues, its viability in modernity is ever the one thing I disagree with Toc on.
@socialevol
It’s delusion to believe the anti federalists are winning. The origin of the republic’s failing lies not in institutional shortcomings, but cultural rot and policy error resulting from it. As Aristotle so put, citizens match their regime, and revolution occurs when they don’t.
@knrd_z
Don’t forget they’ve also written dozens of papers trying to pretend that this is fine and that ethno-linguistic fractionalization is only worth including when studying the third world.
@literallymikev
These fucking people, literally shaming people for drawing cute art. Maybe their talentless asses should go learn to draw instead of attacking actual artists.
@knrd_z
So few people get this, I blame the American love of equality, everyone wants to be equal, but just as hierarchy is apparent across races because of difference, within group differences are even larger and thus hierarchies exist within races too.
@UnternedU17457
@sebjenseb
Modern academic philosophy departments are mainly analytical philosophers, you’ll find Nietzsche more so in political theory/philosophy departments.
@LapisRobustus
Their basis for this is also singularly racial, the OP’s responses are entirely about whether or not a president served the interests of nons, because apparently that’s what a president is supposed to do is advance the interests of slaves, Indians, and immigrants.
@C_Classiques
@cremieuxrecueil
That’s my same logic, sample size matters. Nothing below 30 would even be considered reliable from what I’ve been trained, and 30 is the absolute minimum for sample size, not the social accepted minimum.
