  • Losing Star Wars

    Amerika.org - Oct 4th 2019 10:47am EDT

    The Nerd Force weakens. It really wasn’t particularly awesome to begin with, but at least in the Late 1970s, Hollywood could still crank out a halfway decent Western (or perhaps, a high fantasy with cowboy boots). Star Wars is much closer to epic fantasy than to Western. While there is certainly some broad influence from […]

    US jobless rate fell to 50-year low of 3.5% No one really understands the Trump economy. Here is my formulation: long-term consumer confidence. People like having a masculine, aggressive, and realistic leader in charge, especially one from America’s historical founding group, the ethnic Western Europeans. Scots-German WASP Donald Trump shows us that he is looking […]

  • Is Christianity Irrational?

    Amerika.org - Oct 4th 2019 5:02am EDT

    At some level, we all like the idea of religion, but fear that it may simply be our own projection. Then it would join other human solipsistic behaviors like gambling, addiction, egotism, and other projections of our desires on the world as if they were real. In many academic circles, it is considered foolish even […]

    Israel quietly lets in thousands of Gaza workers, in bid to ease tensions Now that Arabs control its elections, Israel is following the path that America pursued, which is Neville Chamberlain style appeasement. This will not work; it shows weakness, and those who are given an inch will take a mile, and then repeat. Brute […]

  • Swedes Experience The Great Replacement

    Amerika.org - Oct 3rd 2019 10:27am EDT

    So your local political bigshots have decided to deworsify your neighborhood. They want pliable, mystery-meat morons to help them pass all their euchastes and elect whatever detestable pervert they feel like trebucheting into power. Your civic authorities seem to have their eyes wide shut and their legs spread wide. What does the smarter brother do? […]

    In Houston, a Rash of Storms Tests the Limits of Coping With Climate Change The New York Times continues lying. Here it tells falsehoods to obscure a few things, but the first is that urbanization is not our problem. Houston is a test case for what happens when you make a city that extends fifty […]

    The crowd at my local pub seizes on whatever idea seems to explain the events of the day. These explanations do not have to be correct, only to make all of us feel that there is an order and a logic behind what is going on that will work out OK in the end. Yesterday […]

    Greece struggles to cope as migrant arrivals soar In any human situation, there will be a small group succeeding, a large group in various degrees of making it by, and some who are not doing well at all. If you pay attention to biological logic, you reward the successful group in order to get more […]

  • Population Growth Is Not Good For The Economy

    Amerika.org - Oct 2nd 2019 5:02am EDT

    Conventionally, the person on the street assumes a simple calculus about economics based on their experience with cities being wealthier than urban areas. If you add more people, you get more activity, and from that, more wealth. However, when we look more closely at economic growth we see that it is actually assessed two different […]

  • Watching The Frog Boil In Hong Kong

    Amerika.org - Oct 1st 2019 8:00pm EDT

    As the Chinese Communists prepare to celebrate their seventh decade in power, Hong Kong attempts to protest what will be ultimately a quick and irrevocable assimilation. Back in 1982, when people first thought the handover was a good idea, it seemed like the right way to get out of a colonial empire that had become […]

  • In An Election Year, Reddit Expands Its Power To Ban Non-Leftists

    Amerika.org - Oct 1st 2019 9:34am EDT

    Leftist nerd-hipster hugbox Reddit has taken another step toward eliminating thoughts that are scary to the underconfident from its platform: a new policy on bullying and harassment that will be selectively enforced like their other broad, vague, and cryptic rules: We do not tolerate the harassment, threatening, or bullying of people on our site; nor […]

    ‘Our political system is irrevocably poisoned’: the rise of monarchism The Left wants to drum up support for transitioning from “Late Stage Capitalism” to full socialism which of course will require one-party permanent rule. For this reason, they are cautiously praising criticism of democracy, not realizing that when people oppose democracy, they are also opposing […]

  • How The Workforce Exploits Women

    Amerika.org - Oct 1st 2019 5:02am EDT

    Society gave up on a lot of things. First it gave up on a natural order by which the morally and intellectually superior kept everyone else in line; then it gave up on leadership, preferring actors who flattered the crowd; finally, it gave up on culture. This left us with economics, law, and politics. That […]

  • Why Hong Kong Is Doomed

    Amerika.org - Sep 30th 2019 11:43am EDT

    China is having a hard time getting Hong Kong to behave like a good Chinese city. For one thing, a majority of the people living there don’t consider themselves Chinese. Essentially, one tenth of the population considers themselves Chinese. Racially, this is obviously untrue. However, there is more to a national identity than just HBD. […]

    Donald Trump warns impeachment could cause second US Civil WAR in Twitter thread quoting evangelical pastor This entire scandal reeks… of Donald Trump provoking conflict. He knows that the Left will lunge for anything that seems surface-level plausible as an excuse to remove him, which is a way of saying that they deny any actuality […]

  • When Seeking The Weak Link, Look Toward The Voters

    Amerika.org - Sep 30th 2019 5:02am EDT

    Humanity loves a scapegoat. You realize that what you must do to succeed is hard, so you blame someone else not just for the presence of the necessity of doing this task, but for holding you back. That way, you can do nothing, blame someone else, and still be morally “right” to your social group. […]

    After deadly Frederick fair assault, Md. lawmaker wants to change hate crime law In this assault, an old white guy refused to give a dollar to two black teens, who promptly beat him and killed him. Instead of changing hate crime laws, how about we abolish them and the rest of civil rights, so that […]

  • Conservative Environmentalism Wins Out Over Leftist Greenism

    Amerika.org - Sep 29th 2019 5:02am EDT

    As part of the ongoing sea change that is shifting toward populism and after that twenty-first century conservatism, humanity finds itself heading toward standards that do not depend on ideological conformity and universal obedience, and instead, take people as they are. This new view recognizes the inherent limitations of the human being both as an […]

    Brexiteer jailed for inciting racial hatred In the West, we have now ended up at the usual place that societies go when they die: repression for symbolic reasons. Every society oppresses someone, usually people like child pornography fans and advocates for random violence, but we are now throwing people in jail for words they used […]

  • Ideology Creates A False Sense Of Unity

    Amerika.org - Sep 28th 2019 5:02am EDT

    Conservatives got blindsided by the Left because we did not understand the symbols that they used. Take “equality,” for example. To a conservative, this means no preferential treatment. Everyone gets in a line, waits their turn, and when they get to the front, they each get the same thing that every other individual gets. The […]

    Shares rise as trade optimism muffles impeachment noise The Left believed that it could hold the Trump presidency hostage with impeachment talk, but it turns out that few people were convinced. Markets consist of people, and people panic when there is talk of changing who is in power, since chaos always interrupts business and daily […]

  • How Generalists Displace Native Species

    Amerika.org - Sep 27th 2019 5:02am EDT

    Humans see the world in context of immediate problems, which have a “first mover advantage” in that they come to us, instead of us seeking their underlying questions. Sort of like a thesis looking for data (cherry picking) instead of data looking for a thesis (the “scientific method”) this process resembles a begging-the-question fallacy, in […]

    If you can stand (((Mark Levin))), then you can learn more about why Corporate Conservatives are stupid. They are compromised by being part of a corrupt system. They have an interested stake in getting what impeachment is wrong. In service of this fundamental corruption, Levin has taken out his Ouija Board and again made contact […]

    Anti-immigration conservative set to win back power in Austria People are tired of the constant failure brought on by diversity, and they want to see something else from our future besides the toxic brew of consumerism, bureaucracy, and globalism that became the new boring endless normal in the 1990s. We want to escape modernity. Beating […]

  • Stress And Rationalization

    Amerika.org - Sep 26th 2019 5:02am EDT

    In every kitchen, there is a miscellaneous drawer, and it usually has more items than any other drawer although they are smaller. These are things which do not categorize easily, including stuff of unknown function, at least in ours. Every few months one of us has to clean the thing out, which results in the […]
