The 19th century was the peak of traditional warfare; weapons technology had improved so much that by the early 20th century, war went from battlefield strategy to mass carnage. Then Hiroshima changed even that; rulers now need new forms of war that don’t risk destroying them along with the peasants. So far, economic war, propaganda war, and “cyber” war seem to be the leading forms. And people don’t seem to have grasped yet that just because these forms don’t involve people being blown to bits by the tens of millions, doesn’t mean they aren’t as dangerous to nation-states as 20th-century war. For too long, the US has allowed presidents to engage in military adventurism without Congressional benediction, devastating the countries targeted by such warfare and funneling untold billions into the coffers of “defense” contractors. And now Congress is allowing the mad emperor to engage in an economic war which has already destroyed the liberal 20th century world order and has set fire to the US economy; will it finally act to stop him when he progresses from sending pseudo-soldiers to attack some Americans to sending actual troops to fire on Americans en masse?

Their Heart’s Desire
Posted in History, Philosophy, Tyranny, tagged politicians, psychology on April 11, 2025| 2 Comments »
As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. – H.L. Mencken
The fact about the current collapse of the American Empire which I think many intelligent people are missing is, Americans as a group wanted extremely stupid people in charge because they themselves are extremely stupid, and their idea of “democracy” is rule by people like them, ie extremely stupid. That’s why they’re resistant to recognizing Trump’s being allowed to run around naked, shaking his dick at everyone else in the world, as a debacle; to admit their Dear Leader is a dangerous and demented imbecile is to admit that their entire Weltanschauung is defective. As Asimov expressed it:
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

Client Kingdoms
Posted in Current Events, History, Tyranny, tagged language, politicians on March 14, 2025| 1 Comment »
It’s clear to any but the most economically-illiterate that the mad emperor has absolutely no idea how tariffs actually work; it’s especially obvious in his claims that they are paid by foreign countries, and that he wants to establish a new “External Revenue Service” to collect them. Given the complete disconnect between Trump’s idea of tariffs and the actual reality of tariffs, the only logical conclusion is that when Trump barfs up the word “tariffs”*, what he is really imagining is “tribute”: money paid by client kingdoms for protection by an empire. Listen to his rhetoric about Ukraine and NATO; he wants to be paid annual tribute for protection. Basically, he wants to make the US status as the world’s cop official, complete with the cop power to terrorize whoever he likes on a whim without anything resembling consequences.
*Exactly like a dog barfing up something unidentifiable but undoubtedly disgusting right in the middle of the living-room rug.

The act of agreeing to serve as a policeman in any regime is at best an amoral one, because in doing so the individual agrees to enforce (by violence if necessary) all of the laws passed by his government, whether he agrees with them or not; he abdicates his personal morality to those in authority and allows his actions to be dictated by others, even if he knows those actions to be wrong. – “Godwin’s Law”
The most dangerous prohibitionists…are those who oppose no particular behavior or thing, but rather the very freedom of choice itself. – “Thou Shalt Not”
Despite what the anti-sex crowd likes to pretend, sexuality is not a mere “choice”, something dropped on top of a person’s personality at the last minute like pickles on a cheeseburger; it is a deep and intrinsic part of the human psyche, rooted in the hindbrain and woven throughout the psychic fabric. – “The Twig is Bent”
If intelligence is rare, advanced spacefaring civilizations might consider all of it valuable, and could conceivably think of any intelligent species confined to a single habitat as “endangered”. – “Endangered Species“
Balkanization
Posted in Current Events, History, Tyranny, tagged politicians, Washington DC on February 7, 2025| 2 Comments »
Attention, state-level politicians: the watchword is “Balkanization”. You need to seriously start thinking about it. Don’t sink into the comfortable, warm embrace of patriotic historical fantasies; instead, consider the lessons of history and have some damned moral courage for once. A decade ago, Washington and Colorado flipped the bird to the central enabling mechanism of the federal War on Drugs, and thereby started a quiet revolution. You can do the same. Think about it.
