| The other night I was hanging out with a couple of guys, one of whom was ex-military. | |
| And try as we might, we could not stop reminiscing about all of our good times in the Army. | |
| We kept trying not to because we were excluding the other guy who wasn't ex-military, and we wanted to bring him into the conversation, but we just kept falling back into the pattern. | |
| Because even though both of us are very glad to be enjoying slack civvy life nowadays, part of us still misses the Army. | |
| It was a lot of fun. | |
| The weird thing is that when I was in the Army, I always get comments from people saying that you don't seem like you'd fit in very well in the Army. | |
| You seem to have an anti-authoritarian streak. | |
| And while I have a very, very low tolerance for bullshit, for stupid rules, for airport security, or for some prick bouncer at a bar saying that at this bar we all check our coats, asshole, I keep my cell phone, cigarettes, wallet, notepad, and pen in my coat. | |
| You're not taking my goddamn coat unless you're going to follow me around and carry those for me, if you want my business at your shitty establishment. | |
| Yeah, I don't like that sort of authority, and yet I never had any authority issues in the Army. | |
| Because we have a very messed up definition of what authority is nowadays. | |
| We tend to view it as anybody who claims to have the right to make rules gets to make rules, no matter how stupid and insane the rules are. | |
| Yeah, I think most of us came to the right through the Libertarian Party. | |
| It's, I mean, it just makes so much sense. | |
| Libertarians are, for the most part, Austrian economists. | |
| They recognize that the free market is, generally speaking, the best way to organize things. | |
| That command economies, that centralized authority does not work very well. | |
| It does not achieve an optimal solution as frequently as the free market. | |
| And that when the free market has a market failure, which it does, doesn't mean that a centrally planned system is going to correct that failure. | |
| If anything, the centrally planned system tends to exacerbate it. | |
| And yet I'm growing increasingly disenfranchised with the libertarians. | |
| Certainly, take Reason Magazine. | |
| Take Reason TV. | |
| They have their little video clips they put out, the nanny of the month. | |
| And it's always some idiot mayor, idiot city council that just wants to take away some freedom for your own good. | |
| Whether it's smoking bans and bars, or if it's New York, with Bloomberg saying that you're not allowed to get a large Coke anymore. | |
| It's just another bit of this progressive tyranny that comes over us. | |
| And I certainly can't say I like the cops either. | |
| You know, in theory, in theory, I know that there are good cops out there. | |
| I don't know how many of them, but there are definitely a few. | |
| The thing is there are so many cops that abuse their power and still expect to be treated with authority when they have none. | |
| They aren't setting an example. | |
| They break the rules constantly and never give each other tickets when they're caught speeding in a bullshit speeding trap. | |
| They scan your license plate and look it up whenever they pull up behind you in traffic. | |
| Hell, I've had them not even pretend they weren't doing it. | |
| I've had them pull up in the lane to my left and stop behind my motorcycle just so they could scan it because that's what they do. | |
| And I have zero respect for that sort of bullying. | |
| That's not authority. | |
| That's abuse of power. | |
| So of course, we're attracted to this libertarian platform that get out of my personal business. | |
| Get the nation out of the nation's bedrooms. | |
| It does not belong there. | |
| But civilization is nothing but a social construct. | |
| It goes against the innate human drives. | |
| And while some people, like some people, this is so freaking obvious that society is better than the world of savagery, for the intelligentsia, for the upper middle class, the upper class, it's blindingly obvious that civilization is better than savagery. | |
| But they make the mistake of thinking everybody realizes that. | |
| Stoddard called it the underman. | |
| And he talks about how the overman, the great man, the ubermensch, will, if they're disenfranchised from society, if for some reason they've been excluded from the ruling caste by circumstance, | |
| some of Bin Laden, they feel a need to ally themselves with the underman to have their glorious revolution and take the power back for the people, not realizing that the people they're taking the power for are a bunch of morons. | |
| So last summer, I was working with this Omega male, a complete sexual deviant, like one of these disgusting pickup artists, the kind that you really worry about your sisters or your female friends running into. | |
| The sort of guy that will say all the right words, will say to a girl that he loves her, even though he knows she's a virgin, just to get into her pants and then will drop her. | |
| That will help destroy her inability to meet the nice guy she was actually holding out for. | |
| Liar, scam artist, and multiple felon. | |
| He just hadn't been caught for anything too serious. | |
| I got to hear about some of his lovely break and enter stories. | |
| And so, in an attempt to bond with this guy, because I'm stuck in a vehicle with him for 12 hours a day for the next 15 days, I mentioned my own dislike for the cops. | |
| I don't like the surveillance state. | |
| I don't like the police state. | |
| I don't like the bad, goddamn attitude that these 105 IQ cops wander around with. | |
| Cops that can't drive as well as I can, who think they have the right to give me a goddamn ticket just because they're in a bad mood. | |
| So I start trying to talk to this guy about this. | |
| About crimes that shouldn't be crimes being prosecuted. | |
| Sure, I don't have to go into detail here, folks. | |
| You all know that when you take a non-violent drug offense, whether it's using or whether it's dealing in small numbers, that you take that guy, you take that guy with $5 worth of crack, punished 20 times as hard as cocaine, even though they're the same drug, and you lock him up for 10 years, you don't get a reformed citizen coming out of prison, you get a career criminal. | |
| You give somebody a criminal record, they're a permanent reject, a casteless one, a person who their only decent option at that point is to earn money through crime. | |
| Reform themselves? | |
| What? | |
| They're going to work at a car wash for the rest of their years? | |
| Try and find a girlfriend, try and actualize with that? | |
| Or are they going to get into some big crime? | |
| All because they got busted with the legally qualified amount of some drug, which isn't that bad to begin with, and it ruins their life. | |
| I try and talk to this Omega about that kind of crap. | |
| And his attitude, it's like I was talking to a cop. | |
| Well, you know what? | |
| You take the risk. | |
| Sometimes you get away with it, sometimes you don't. | |
| You do the crime, you do the time, that's just the game you're playing. | |
| It's insane if you think about it. | |
| I mean, we've all played Grand Theft Auto, and we've probably all reflected on how ridiculously easy it is to get away with these crimes. | |
| That we would never do something like that in real life because the consequence for that crime is the destruction of our own life. | |
| And it's the career criminal, to the underman, this penalty of being locked in a cage for five years, 20 years, it's just the cost of doing business. | |
| They approach it the same way we consider a tax when we're buying something to start up a business. | |
| They literally think about it in the same manner. | |
| And part of the reason for this is that to be an underman is to constantly be a slave to your own desires. | |
| Now, it might have been Murray Rothbard that said this. | |
| I can't quite recall. | |
| Somebody said this, that the ideal libertarian man doesn't want to be too rich and doesn't want to be too poor. | |
| If you're too poor, you're a slave to the paycheck. | |
| You are stressing out and desperate about how you're going to afford bills this month, how you're going to afford food, let alone dreaming of self-actualizing. | |
| You're too busy trying to figure out how to eat. | |
| But if you're too rich, all of a sudden you become a slave to that money. | |
| And certainly you see this slave mentality in the upper classes nowadays, in the financial classes, the bankers, the CEOs, this constant craving for more money, for an extra piece of the pie. | |
| They don't care about the business. | |
| Take Romney. | |
| That man devastated businesses to make himself money, sending the jobs overseas, oftentimes destroying the company in the long term for a short-term gain. | |
| This omega attitude that they have no value or investment in anything beyond that. | |
| It's not like they're sitting there and saying, you know what, I want to keep this company in the United States, but with this tax code, I just can't do it. | |
| No, no. | |
| No rationalization. | |
| They don't care. | |
| They're destroying businesses to get a quick boost to the share price. | |
| Make no mistake, folks. | |
| There have been studies done showing that all the cutbacks that happened in the 90s, maybe your parents got laid off for one of those. | |
| Mine did. | |
| Those cutbacks, that trimming the fat did not help those companies, not in the long term. | |
| It added a short-term boost to the share price. | |
| The CEO reigning during the cutbacks, he got a nice paycheck. | |
| He got a golden parachute. | |
| But a lot of those companies started losing money after that because, oops, that wasn't fat. | |
| That was a necessary part. | |
| That's the 90% of the brain that you're not using at any given time. | |
| You can't just cut out 90% of the brain and still have the same IQ. | |
| need that, even if you're not using it all the time. | |
| You see, to the under man, whether it's the, quite frankly, none of these people are particularly high IQ, but The one I was dealing with, yeah, he was over 100. | |
| He was charismatic as all hell, for a short while. | |
| I mean, hang out with him for a few days, you'll figure out he's a scam artist, that he'll stab you in the back for a $5 bill. | |
| But in the short term, he's charismatic. | |
| He knows how to get what he wants. | |
| It's a shame that he didn't figure out how to go CEO because he would have fit in perfectly into that culture. | |
| But these people, they just have this short-term desire they're pursuing after. | |
| And risking their entire life. | |
| You break in to somebody's house and steal a TV, and you've got beer money for the weekend. | |
| But if you get caught, your life is over. | |
| But see, they're not free. | |
| They can never be free in their own minds. | |
| So for the underman, whether they're in prison or whether they're walking around on the streets, they're a slave. | |
| The CEO with his ivory back scratchers and his cavalcade of servants is just as much of a slave. | |
| They really can't tell the difference between autonomy and obedience because they don't have the capacity for autonomy. | |
| And so while this libertarian obsession with freedom is certainly wonderful for the overman, it doesn't make any sense to the underman. | |
| The underman does not know what slavery is. | |
| Any more than a cop knows what slavery is. | |
| Well, it was a stupid law, but you broke the law, you do the time. | |
| Thanks, guardians of our society. | |
| Thin blue line. | |
| You know what? | |
| Part of what pollutes this whole conversation, and you know what? | |
| A lot of you guys have pointed this out. | |
| You've said you don't like the way that I break things down into the left and the right. | |
| The thing is that you don't have a right-wing party in the United States. | |
| The Democrats and Republicans are both these two insane sorts of idealists. | |
| Now, we've analyzed the Democrats extensively. | |
| You know, we all know what progressive, sociopathic nectocrats these people are. | |
| So, I don't need to waste breath on that in this video. | |
| The Republicans, meanwhile, let's not forget that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. | |
| And now, I'm actually working on a post right now going into some of the primary source history of what was actually going on in the South. | |
| American slavery was a lot more like British aristocracy from 1723 than it was like Conan the barbarian. | |
| But essentially, I'm not going to go too deep into the slavery nonsense, the lie that we all got taught, but the reason, even if you hate slavery, even if you completely buy into the standard narrative of they were killing slaves for no reason and they were having lynchings every weekend for fun and they were raping all the women, even if you believe all of that, | |
| Lincoln did not free the slaves because he liked black people. | |
| He thought they would go extinct without their white masters looking after them, and he's been quoted as saying that he would have supported slavery if it would have kept the Union together. | |
| The Republicans have always been owned by the big banking money. | |
| That is what caused the war between the North and the South. | |
| The fact that the big-moneyed interests in the North did not like the economic dependence of the South, particularly not when they had the mouth of the Mississippi River. | |
| It was about money, it was about monopoly. | |
| It was the exact same Republican Party that started two wars with no victory conditions to help support rich companies. | |
| The only time the Republicans are conservative are when the Democrats are being particularly progressive. | |
| And even then, it's only by comparison. | |
| Whereas in Canada, we do actually have a Conservative Party. | |
| Stephen Harper is not my favorite person in the world. | |
| He is a small-town conservative, when you get right down to it. | |
| His ethos is that of the town of 20 or 30,000 people where church elders and farmers of middling IQ run the place, and he's the charismatic sociopath that knows how to rise the top of that group. | |
| Quite frankly, he gets on my nerves. | |
| He's a little bit too okay with the surveillance state. | |
| See, again, small town, everybody knows each other, you are constantly being surveilled by your fellow citizens. | |
| And yet there's a fine line of difference between gossip and social shaming and modern media technology, modern video cameras, recording software, et cetera. | |
| And especially in an anarcho-utopia state where anarcho-utopia, anarcho-tyranny, my bad, anarcho-tyranny where everything is illegal, but only some people get prosecuted sometimes for breaking the law. | |
| He's a little bit too happy with the moralistic legislation. | |
| He mistakes the contemporary culture of the small town for the natural product of the Magna Carta, as opposed to one local social experiment that works for those people. | |
| At the same time, unlike the libertarian, I recognize that we have the undermining. | |
| We have the degenerates, the omegas, these savages, that the only way you can train them into civilization is by beating them with a stick. | |
| These people do not and cannot understand civilization. | |
| If the libertarian ideal took over, then these people would be running rampant. | |
| It wouldn't be quite as bad as with the current Democrat paradigm, but it would still be pretty, pretty goddamn bad. | |
| And so, I would vote for Harper. | |
| In fact, in the upcoming election, I'm very, very worried that we're going to get Trudeau's. | |
| Trudeau, well, an accomplished individual was the guy that basically fucked up Canada. | |
| And now his son, who is not an accomplished individual, is going to be running as the leader of the Liberal Party. | |
| And of course, these idiots with their misunderstanding of monarchy. | |
| See, everybody's against a monarch having power, but they all love the romanticism of a monarch. | |
| Just like Bush II, they're going to vote for this scumbucket. | |
| Where is Harper? | |
| Oh, certainly. | |
| He's a small-town douchebag. | |
| He is this ridiculous sociopathic priest. | |
| But he has his limits. | |
| He's the sort of guy that would go out there and ban a double-ended dildo. | |
| And while I'm not in a huge rush to buy a double-ended dildo, I like that I have the freedom to buy one of those things. | |
| And I think we should have the freedom. | |
| But strong authority in society is necessary to deal with the underclass. | |
| And quite frankly, it doesn't really affect me all that much if double-ended dildos get banned. | |
| The fact that so many drugs are illegal that shouldn't be illegal is an irritant to me. | |
| I'm not a slave to chemical desires. | |
| I don't constantly need this access to cheap highs. | |
| I find my biggest highs conversing with friends and reading books. | |
| A stable society, a reactionary society, is going to need strong legislation and strong leaders. | |
| And every so often you're going to have a stupid law. | |
| But the smart people can avoid the stupid laws. | |
| Stupid as they are, and certainly the Democrats with their technocratic leanings are going over the top. | |
| We're living in anarcho-tyranny. | |
| No punishment for criminals, constant punishment for law-abiding folks, because we're not wearing a seatbelt or something equally ridiculous like that. | |
| But I'm willing to meet a middle ground with a conservative, which I don't think the libertarians are. | |
| The libertarians have this idealist thing going on that is going to result in us paying the medical costs of the underman whenever they injure themselves or crash drunk driving or whatever other idiocy slightly misguided conservative rule is at least transparent. | |
| You know exactly what is illegal. | |
| Sometimes it's something that should be legal, but at least you know it's illegal. | |
| And generally, if you manage to keep it on the down low, you don't get punished for it. | |
| You see, the overman can deal with a lot more freedom. | |
| If you know any upper class couples that do a little bit of soft swinging on the side, or even just the university educated people having more sexual partners before getting married, they manage to deal with it and then still have stable marriages. | |
| The 50% divorce rate is largely about the lower classes. | |
| Because if you give the lower classes this much freedom, if you don't put these social standards, this carrot and stick, to act like a civilized person, they start screwing everything up. | |
| So instead of pretending that we can all deal with a libertarian freedom, we should be recognizing that some of these people, if you don't put the stick to them, are just the absolute most worthless cunts in the world. | |
| And they're not going anywhere. | |
| We have to deal with them. | |
| That is the challenge of civilization. |
