Emotions being disproportionately involved in democracy, and leaders therefore being very much drowned in the sea of meaningless slime called “public opinion,” there’s quite simply no mechanism for strong leaders to point the system forward, and therefore no means with which to produce anything of enduring value.xvii The Queenless hive and shepherdless flock have nowhere to go but down, down, down, derping about Treaty 6 Landsxviii all the way down until this woman takes the reigns.
Blessedly, and not a moment too soon, the dawn of a New Empire is at hand. There, on the horizon, you can start to make out your new leaders. We know Aristotle, we write poetry, and you’d better believe we’re ready for battle.
We may only appear as faint dots now, but like Süleyman The Magnificent, we’re charging full steam ahead.

This is a point worth belabouring. As morality is right action, as defined in your time and your place, you cannot be Happy unless you act right! There’s no “Right To Happiness,” no obligation on the part of the world to suck your toes and make you giggle like a schoolgirl, and there’s no way to enjoy what’s Good without earning it. The Good isn’t for everyone and you sure as fuck don’t get a whiff of it just for being born. You come into this world deserving nothing. Not a blanket to keep you warm, not a morsel of food, not a rock to play with – much less healthcare, education, and a pension.ii Remember that. You’re not entitled to a goddam thing on this planet unless you act rightly; not as self-defined either, but as defined by your rulers.
But this is only possible in the intelligible world, under a wise author and ruler.
Hmm. Now where can we find a wise author and ruler? Democracy perhaps? Nope, already looked there… Ooh I know! Monarchy! Yup, a hard pill to swallow for your “educated” noodle, but a pill that must be swallowed nonetheless. Your +EV strategy from here on out is to listen dutifully to the Bitcoin Lordship. Yes, that includes me.

An American jihad would reawaken in American citizens the certain knowledge that our Constitution is a sacred document that better defines and preserves the liberty and autonomy of human beings than the charter of any other nation on earth.The Constitution, along with the miracle of our nation's founding and the providential history of America fighting and winning war after war against oppressive regimes, proves our manifest destiny not only to preserve our borders and safety and national character at home, but to spread around the world our love of individual freedom and insist on its reflection in every government.

from the article praising ann sterzinger:
Indeed, if you scrubbed her name off NVSQVAM and The Talkative Corpse (we’ll ignore her freshman novel, the entertaining misfire Girl Detectives), you’d have a hard time even telling Sterzinger is a woman. Not only is her prose crisp and funny, her subject material is a complete 180 from the whiny navel-gazing that most female writers puke out.

CONCORD - Fourth graders from Lincoln Akerman School in Hampton Falls received a warm welcome at the State House last Thursday. They and their teacher, James Cutting, were guests in the Gallery.That reception quickly turned chilly as students got a glimpse of the cold, harsh realities of politics in the Granite State.In the spirit of learning by doing, students drafted a bill to learn the process of how a bill becomes law. They proposed House Bill 373, an act establishing the Red Tail Hawk as the New Hampshire State Raptor. Even though it passed through the Environment and Agriculture committee with a majority vote, some representatives were far from receptive.Rep. Warren Groen, a Republican from Rochester said, "It grasps them with its talons then uses its razor sharp beak to basically tear it apart limb by limb, and I guess the shame about making this a state bird is it would serve as a much better mascot for Planned Parenthood."NH1 spoke with Groen over the phone on Thursday afternoon. Click here to listen to the interview with Groen.That comment, considered offensive by many, was made while the fourth graders sat, watched and listened. The tough lesson didn't end there.Rep. John Burt, a Republican from Goffstown said, "Bottom line, if we keep bringing more of these bills, and bills, and bills forward that really I think we shouldn't have in front of us, we'll be picking a state hot dog next."In a 133-to-160 vote lawmakers killed the bill and perhaps the civic enthusiasm of some 9-and-10-year-olds.

the socialism presented to the voters by Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Donald Trump, etc., is nationalistic and xenophobic, us-and-them stuff that would have warmed the heart of Father Coughlin or Henry Ford.
― example (crüt), Friday, 10 July 2015 14:49 (nine years ago) link
"In this the so-called progressives are joined, as they traditionally have been, by brutish white supremacists and knuckle-dragging anti-Semites, who believe that they discern within the Nordic peoples the last remnant of white European purity and who frequently adopt Nordic icons and myths, incorporating them into an oddball cult of whiteness. American progressivism is a cult of whiteness, too: It imagines re-creating Danish society in Los Angeles, which is not full of Danish people, ascribing to Scandinavian social policies certain mystical tendencies that render them universal in their applicability."
