Bureaucracies staffed by middle-aged and elderly petty authoritarian socialist women import criminal migrants then let them loose because this is the closest approximation to organized physical violence they can sustain against their real enemies—taxpayers who could defund them.

If you want to understand a society, don’t listen to what they say about themselves. Look at what they make. So, who are we then? Obsessed with scale, productivity, and the bottom line with little regard for the soul of what’s being made or the souls that’ll be shaped by it. Don’t get me wrong: There’s a time and place for optimization, but do we really want to live in a world that looks like IKEA?

The biggest thing people don’t understand about politics is how little of it is truly coordinated. The world is too complex to tie a bow around, it’s chaos out there.

Time for an internet break. I’ll be back in two months. I’ll still be responding to DMs here.

My ideas of historic objectivity seem pretty obvious ngl. The idea that each era of history makes mistakes and so you should cross reference different time periods against a universal truth to assess the shared traits or weaknesses. That modernity isn’t just unilaterally correct against previous societies. That historic societies weren’t lying about building their worlds off authentic religious experiences. This all makes total sense and seems obvious. Intuitive. So why did I have to develop it myself in the 21st century. Probably some other author had it before which I don’t know about. This seems like something the Greeks figured out. Maybe not. Idk. It definitely seems like something we should have understood by the 19th century. Why was it so late?

This is political propaganda from our side right?

You guys are such cucks. It’s unbelievable. What happened?

The fact you’ve made it this far in this society is an accomplishment in itself. Pat yourself on the back and rejoice a little. The standards this society holds people too are completely cruel and dehumanizing. We expect everyone to be an Uber successful chad and if you are that guy, the society still hates you since it hates the rich or successful. You’ve survived an elaborate psychological torture ritual by your own elites to destroy you. That’s not even half of it. In the future you’ll be so proud of yourself you made it through this period intact since our history writers will talk about how dark an era this was. Love, Rudyard

The culture of “I will not explain things to you and then penalize you for breaking unstated rules” is possibly the most cancerous mentality ever

In 200 years people will say the word equality in the same tone we said eugenics a decade ago
