Natural Disasters

 

Despite what people today almost universally believe, it is not the job of government to help people recover from natural disasters, like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, earthquakes, and storms. If they’re hurt, or their homes or businesses are damaged, it’s mostly the job of self-caring individuals to help themselves. It’s also the job of expert aid organizations, both paid and voluntary. It is not the job of a “helpful” welfare state or a “soft” Big Brother, which have no right to exist.

Firstly, in the event of a rare natural disaster, people need to take proper precautions. Afterwards, if disaster has still struck them, they need to call upon their savings and insurance. Next, they need to turn to family and friends. After that, they need to look to neighbors and coworkers. Lastly, they might in desperation try applying to public charities or begging from random strangers. But they better learn a great lesson from this.

Ultimately, specialist and expert aid organizations are pretty good at helping people get back on their feet. Governments, in turn, are terrible.

It’s the job of government to protect people and property – not to assist disaster victims. That’s not part of its function and it has no idea how to do it. The only proper activity of the state after natural disasters is extra police activity to prevent opportunistic looters.

However much our world is currently trapped in the nightmare of the nanny state, and state regulation of everything, government has no right to “rob Peter to pay for the disaster victim Paul”. Proper government isn’t involved in charity or “redistribution” of wealth. That’s robbery and tyranny. Any thieving, “helpful” state agency, or those who support it, need to be tossed in jail for a decade or three. Government should never rob the public treasury to pay for those suffering from life’s inevitable catastrophes, emergencies, injuries, diseases, poverty, bad luck, and the like. That’s the job of the various individuals involved and their professional medical, repair, and construction organizations. By definition, government is incompetent to help and will always foul up.

In the end, everyone needs to be smart, virtuous, and ready, when to comes to potential natural disasters. They also need to have reliable savings and insurance, family and friends, neighbors and coworkers, and so on. If they don’t, that’s their fault.

Such people need to have more self-love and live more responsibly. They need to behave like respectable, worthy adults – not pathetic, helpless children. In certain rare and extreme situations, possibly people should rely upon public charities and random strangers. But proper, proud, and noble folk rarely or never accept charity or beg. Even in the event of a hideous disaster, people should try to be noble souls and not pitiful worms.

Life deep in the Industrial Revolution era is essentially easy. Everyone is rich and ready to roll. But every once in a while horrific disasters strike, and these can be hard. So it’s the job of every person to be overall prepared for them. It’s the job of society too.

But it’s never the job of government to “help”. It’s morally wrong to steal from society and the public coffers. And the “aid” these pathetic people receive from the evil, tyrannical welfare state is almost always dreadful and close to worthless.

People need to create a free and capitalist government, and resultant society, which makes everyone a millionaire. Then they need to use that money and their native intelligence to be ready for emergencies. They need to save plenty of money, get proper insurance, form good relationships with family and friends, and all the rest. Then natural disasters will hurt them far less than before.

The Permanent Depression

 

The government is forever at war with the economy. The government is forever destroying wealth and causing poverty, pain, misery, and death. This includes the South Sea Bubble (1720), Panic of 1797, Panic of 1837, Panic of 1857, Long Depression (1873-96), Panic of 1907, Great Depression (1929-39), Global Recession (1981-82), Great Recession (2007-09), and Wu Flu Lockdown Depression (2020-21).

All were caused by government coercion and the welfare state. But all were blamed upon economic freedom and capitalism. Mankind has never learned the lesson of these bubbles, panics, recessions, and depressions.

When government attacks the economy it does damage to it. So too when it attacks society and the individual. But such assaults and coercion – such regulation, redistribution, tyranny, and “help” – is universally seen as good for the economy. It’s seen as good for society and the individual too. For 300 years now mankind has been unable to figure out that freedom is good and slavery is bad.

The Scientific Revolution of the 1600s led to the Industrial Revolution of the 1700s and the widespread capitalism of the 1800s. Humans became impossibly wealthy. Simultaneously, culture was radically enriched, society turned remarkably harmonious, and individual happiness soared.

Such was the product of moderate political, economic, social, and personal liberty. Full liberty would have produced utopia.

But philosophical geniuses -- and thus political leaders too -- didn’t understand this. So government was forever on the attack. Intellectuals and rulers viewed political, economic, social, and personal freedom as mostly evil. Such welfare statists always wanted to “improve” society and “fix” the problems caused by “too much” freedom and “the excesses” of capitalism.

Hence, our welfare state -- and not a free state. It “reined in” individual rights and human liberty in order to avoid Marxist “exploitation” and “oppression”. Also the natural “chaos” and “social destruction” of overall freedom. Additionally, the welfare state controlled the “robber barons” and “private slavery” endemic to unregulated capitalism. The evils of freedom never end!

For three centuries now government has embraced various cockamamie economic and social theories such as mercantilism, socialism, Keynesianism, and monetarism. These justify its attacks upon men and business. The coercive welfare state offers benevolent “guidance” which lessens or prevents the “business cycle” and the “booms and busts” inherent to economic freedom. The coercive welfare state benevolently “redistributes” wealth to lessen or prevent poverty and the unjust inequalities of wealth natural to economic freedom. The coercive welfare state benevolently “regulates” the economy to lessen or prevent the “natural monopolies” and “private tyrannies” which are a permanent part of economic freedom. This is what everyone thinks.

But in real life, the coercive welfare state is forever "benevolently" creating real depressions, recessions, panics, exploitation, oppression, tyranny, poverty, pain, misery, inequality, monopolies, etc. thru regulation and redistribution. These last two are tyrannical and have no right to exist. The welfare state does damage via myriad labor laws and Big Business permits, licenses, franchises, charters, monopolies, subsidies, protectionism, tax loopholes, and more.

Government creates plutocrats, oligarchs, and robber barons as it establishes and enforces enslavement, tyranny, fascism, corporatism, crony “capitalism”, and phony “capitalism”. Government inflicts these horrors upon the world because real capitalism and economic freedom are universally seen as evil, just as welfare statism and political coercion are universally seen as cures for this evil.

You couldn’t create a more fatuous and depraved belief-system if you tried. But this nonsense and nightmare has been believed by virtually everyone for 300 years now.

And humanity will never learn. When it comes to politics, economics, sociology, and personal behavior, it isn’t in the power of mankind to understand that freedom is good and slavery is bad.

BHKH

 

The intellectual achievements of George Berkeley, David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Georg Hegel are widely celebrated, but it’s hard to see why. These four similar thinkers are generally considered some of the greatest philosophers ever; and yet their theories are so false and evil. Berkeley, Hume, Kant, and Hegel have damaged mankind immensely thru their remarkable irrationality, lack of common sense, and denial of obvious truths. The individual and society have suffered enormously.

George Berkeley is probably best known for his idea-ism or “Idealism”, the doctrine that only minds and their ideas are real. Berkeley’s assertion that material objects do not exist independently of perception defies the common-sense view that the physical world is real and existent, regardless of whether or not anyone is looking at it. This “out of sight, out of mind, out of existence” claim is a fundamentally irrational and senseless view which denies the seemingly obvious truth that physical things and material objects continue to exist even when not observed, whether by “god” or man. Berkeley’s bizarre claim undermines confidence in reason and the human mind. His attack on sensory experience and near-universal belief generates a form of Skepticism so extreme that both intellectuals and average men lose confidence in their ability to gain knowledge about basic reality. The damage this nonsense does to fundamental understanding, rational self-confidence, and the human spirit is incalculable.

David Hume, in turn, takes Skepticism to new heights with his radical questioning of causality. He claims our basic beliefs in cause and effect, the continual self, and even the external world are not grounded in reason and actual reality, but in mere habit and custom. One thing may happen after another, due to a seemingly direct and clear impact, yet Hume claims no conclusion can be drawn from this, no matter how carefully it’s observed, recorded, analyzed, and tested. Ultimately, Hume disbelieves in objective reality and truth; and even himself as a certain being. By denying a reasonable and scientific basis for these foundational concepts, Hume’s philosophy promotes fundamental irrationality and senselessness. His notion of causality casts serious and painful doubt that events in the world are connected in predictable and comprehensible ways. This dreadful Idealism and Skepticism leads to an intellectual paralysis and uncertainty in which the observation and study of the universe is seen as essentially hopeless, and any real search for truth, knowledge, and understanding is futile.

Immanuel Kant compounds Hume’s errors by positing a complex and baffling system of “transcendental” Idealism. This is even more irrational and nonsensical than the ideas of Berkeley and Hume. Kant argues that human observations and experiences are fatally shaped by the limited nature and inborn categories of their minds, such as space, time, and causality. While Kant claims his beliefs preserve the possibility of knowledge, in fact he argues humans can only know appearance and not reality. They can only know things as they seem but not “things-in-themselves”. This defies common experience and good sense. The idea that our understanding of the world is fatally and hopelessly mediated by the innate structures and inescapable flaws of the mind contradicts all of human history and virtually every individual’s experience of the universe and life. Kant’s separation of phenomena and “noumena” is without evidence or justification. Everyday perception and experience rejects his literally irrational and senseless ideas. Kant adds to his destructiveness and nonsensicality by claiming people shouldn’t be morally good in order to be great or happy, as everyone supposes. Rather they should be “good” without hope of reward, and thru a mindless and arbitrary adherence to self-sacrifice based on duty alone.

Georg Hegel “learns” from the three previous thinkers, and is arguably the worst of them all. He complicates and damages the philosophical landscape with perhaps the most convoluted and extreme Idealism and Skepticism of all. He looks at the universe and then claims subjects and objects are the same, or else form a single inseparable unit. No real evidence is offered for this claim, and like Berkeley, Hume, and Kant before him, it’s hard to see how such “knowledge” and “truth” is relevant to philosophy or benefits mankind in any manner whatever. Certainly Hegel’s notion of the “absolute” is a highly abstract and elusive concept that seems to lack practical relevance, purpose, and benefit for men.

*  *  *

People seek to understand their universe and themselves, accomplish great things with their short lifespans, and experience pleasure and happiness at the highest levels possible. And people turn to philosophers for help in this. But it’s hard to see how the irrational, senseless, incomprehensible, tortured, schizophrenic, irrelevant, worthless, dispiriting, depressing claims of Berkeley, Hume, Kant, and Hegel achieve any of this.

In the end, the philosophies of George Berkeley, David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Georg Hegel – such as they are – aren’t just pointless and useless, but positively damaging to mankind’s job and hope of obtaining knowledge about material and moral reality. They shake confidence in the universe and reality, reason and mind, knowledge and truth, and life and self. These “philosophies” confuse, perplex, disorientate, and alienate. Actual truth, genuine knowledge, common sense, and practical information and education perish under their freakish and malign influence.

It’s clear that the influence of these pseudo-philosophers extends well beyond obscure think-tanks and academia. Their ideas have shaped countless aspects of culture, politics, and society. The damage they do to Western Civilization, sound thinking, truth, moral goodness, and real life is immense. Metaphysical bafflement, epistemological agnosticism, cultural relativism, and fundamental amoralism are the result. People become apathetic about their sacred existence as they lose intellectual hold of their formerly competent minds and good sense. Such philosophical victims ignore, and end up repudiating, the differences between truth and falsity, good and evil, civilization and savagery, joy and agony. Postmodernism, Wokism, ignorance, depravity, and misery are the result.

In summation, the philosophies of Berkeley, Hume, Kant, and Hegel promote irrationality, are oblivious to practical reality, lack common sense, and deny obvious truths. Their worthlessly complex, esoteric, and abstract ideas alienate people from reality and intellectual truth while creating anxiety, confusion, disorientation, and despair in the real world. By denying the clarity of existence, the trustworthiness of sensory experience, the rational basis for fundamental concepts, the possibility of direct knowledge of the world, and the reality and objectivity of truth, these “philosophers” undermine, suborn, and defeat the natural and necessary human acquisition of knowledge and understanding of reality, leading to intellectual, cultural, and moral ambiguity, relativism, devastation, and oblivion.

Equality

 

There's no loose and sloppy ideal more loathsome and destructive than "equality". Not even unity, democracy, peace, or love. Equality is the violator of justice. It's the despoiler of virtue. The crusher of talent and merit. Under the ideal of equality, the great man and the lowlife are treated the same. By the standard of equality, the ingenious shining hero and the imbecilic insectoid demon are regarded and rewarded the same.

No social ideal could be more depraved than this. The more equality is practiced, the more the high-quality and noble individual is attacked. The more the highly-civilized and exalted society is mauled. Equality is raw evil and the devastator of both.

Alien Enemies

 

If America was even moderately healthy and civilized – even moderately rational and sane – there would be huge protests and riots against black people. There would be massive demonstrations and days of rage against most American blacks, Hispanics, Moslems, and Third World savage illegal aliens. These animals degrade the quality of life wildly. These enemies and treasonists make America a much worse place.

Blacks, Hispanics, Moslems, and aliens commit crime, go on welfare, receive free health care, consume public resources, pay few taxes, vote for tyranny, debauch the society, corrupt the culture, decline to speak English, decline to celebrate national holidays, decline to respect the flag and national anthem, practice racism, express general bigotry, abuse white people, and hate America at extremely high levels. These demons and destroyers pretty much need to be rounded up and confined to ghettos, where they should pay high taxes and reparations, and work at slave labor, for many years. Then these traitors and vermin need to be permanently deported.

Cheating is Fair

 

Cheating is fair. Injustice is just. Illegality is legal. Coercion is freedom. Savagery is civilization. Depravity is virtuous.

Mob rule is a proper instance of democracy and a kangaroo court is a proper instance of law.

Such is the theory of 21^st century communists, fascists, far leftists, Democratic extremists, and Wokesters. Among other things, they claim that egregious voter fraud and Stalinist show trials are legitimate. For them, criminality and cheating in elections and trials are legitimate activities and perfectly fair.

So long as conservatives and libertarians are targeted, these behaviors are a positive good. Such treatment and fraud is the way the world works. And it’s the way it should work. It’s part of our system. It’s democracy.

So be it!

The good people of America should hold them to their word. All communists, fascists, far leftists, Democratic extremists, and Wokesters should be declared criminals, insurrectionists, treasonists, and Marxist-Leninist demons. Their property should be confiscated. They should do ten years of hard labor. They should be stripped of citizenship and deported to Zimbabwe, Uzbekistan, or North Korea.

This is fair, just, legal, free, civilized, and virtuous.

Why Freedom is Bad

 

One big reason people reject political liberalism or freedom, and decide to turn to the Right or the Left, is because liberty tends to make them face reality and themselves. And nobody wants that. Virtually no-one has a systemic world-view, or solid-enough  philosophy, that can deal with that. Thus it's better to flee from the idea of a free society, and a government which protects the rights of man. Better to embrace some cockamamie social and political ideology which – however false and evil – at least lets you escape the misery of seeing the world as it really is and avoid the horror of looking in the mirror.

What a nightmare these two are! Far superior to become an insipid, dirty Rightist or Leftist and reject liberty. Far better to embrace some half-baked utopianism you secretly know is garbage. Rightist and Leftist welfare statism may be fatuous and depraved, and it may be a Big Lie and dreadful form of tyranny, but: It lets you successfully flee from that which you truly can't face: reality and yourself.

Who the hell needs that? Not you. The truth hurts. So the strategically correct behavior – at least if you want to be happy – is to reject socio-economic liberty and instead turn to the loathsome Right or Left. Then you can avert your gaze from anything unpleasant, and turn your mind to mush, as you fanatically promote some absurd theory of social and political "paradise" which you privately damn well know is foolish and wicked.

It's important to delude and brainwash yourself assiduously. You need to close your eyes and leap into the void. Straight over the cliff with you, pal!

But no point in worrying. Hey, your new convoluted scheme and scam, with your new charismatic and dubious leader, might not be so bad after all. At any event, it's better than liberty and justice for all. After all, liberty and justice "have already been tried and failed". And, practically speaking, "they can never be achieved in real life". Everybody admits this!

Thus, virtually everyone today runs away from the society-wide peace, prosperity, harmony, and cultural riches of universal freedom. They head directly into the hellholes of Rightist or Leftist tyranny. Possibly not the best places to be, but there they're safe from the terror and horror of having to think, understand, and decide things about the world and life. Inside the phony utopia of Rightist or Leftist semi-enslavement, the demons and destroyers of Reality and Self are sweetly absent. They're blissfully safe from the black nightmare of experiencing existence and having to think, work, and live their life absent the comfort and safety of blind obedience and mindless, soulless conformity to terrible evil.

The Battle for the Fate of America, the West, and the World

 

Rightists: Jewish synagogues, Christian churches, Moslem mosques, Mormon temples, private schools of these four, Heritage Foundation, American Enterprise Institute, Fox News, NewsMax, One America News Network, A.M. talk radio, Hillsdale College, Claremont Colleges, PragerU, Wall Street Journal, Washington Times, New York Post, National Review, The Federalist, City Journal, Commentary, Republican Party, etc.

Leftists: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Berkeley, Oxford, Cambridge, Brookings Institute, Urban Institute, Center for American Progress, Southern Poverty Law Center, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Gates Foundation, Salvation Army, CARE, CAIR, Foreign Policy, National Interest, Hollywood, Broadway, community groups, identity groups, United Nations, World Health Organization, International Criminal Court, Democratic Party, etc.

Straightists: Ayn Rand Institute, Objective Standard Institute, Atlas Society, Ayn Rand Centre UK, Heartland Institute, Institute for Humane Studies, Competitive Enterprise Institute, Foundation for Economic Education, Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, Students for Liberty, Mises Institute, Adam Smith Institute, Fraser Institute, Institute for Economic Affairs, Civitas, Reason, Reason Papers, Undercurrents, Libertarian Party, etc.

The bad guy, illiberal Rightists and Leftists are currently kicking the asses of the good guy, liberal Straightists. The Straightists or liberals were dominant during the Greek, Roman, Renaissance, and Enlightenment eras. But the liberal culture of the 1700s and 1800s is long gone.

This is an irrational, illiberal, warped, foolish, wicked Dark Age. The Straightists or liberals are rising, but need to do much better. The fatuous and depraved Rightists and Leftists are fundamentally weak and vulnerable. The geniuses and heroes of the Straightist world desperately need to attack their loathsome rivals and administer a ferocious beat-down. These liberal paladins need to crush them so badly they never rise again.

White Supremacy

 

White supremacy is a good thing. Whites should rule – not blacks. White people are superior to black people in their nature and nurture. Whites are better than blacks historically and currently. White people are superior intellectually, morally, and spiritually. The best society is one dominated and controlled by whites – not blacks. In any mixed-race grouping, all things being equal, the ideal culture and civilization is one based on white supremacy.

Death

 

People can't handle mortality. People can't deal with death. So they lie about it. They evade the truth. Evidently, this is the human way.

People that do directly confront this reality, or their lying fellow man, are generally very angry and unhappy about it. They fight against them – and soon lose. So almost all the honest, brave, high-integrity, and truth-telling humans quickly die out. Natural Selection breeds them out of existence.

So here we are. A faulty product. A sorry collection of liars and evaders. Pretty much all scumbags. That's what we are.

Or, at least, that's what all of you are. I may be different.

Pythagoras is when mankind first learned to lie. Heraklitus raised double-talk to a high level. And Parmenides, Protagoras, Zeno, and Gorgias chose to lie thru their teeth. Ever since then man has never let up.

Empedokles and Anaxagoras told a bit of truth, and brought a bit of sense to the world. But so what? Reason was invented around 580 B.C. and was rejected in as little as a century. Neither Empedokles nor Anaxagoras changed that.

Anaxagoras was a sort of early version of Sokrates – a "gadfly". He was mockingly known as "the Mind". This term both complimented and insulted him. So too the people of Athens. They put up with him for 30 years or so, which is to their credit.

But so what? They didn't really respect or honor him. And they eventually drove him out.

And while Anaxagoras was in Athens, he never did tell the truth which everyone already knew: "Reality is real and god is fake." People haven't told the truth about that to this day.

So here we are. Almost all liars and evaders of the first order. All intellectual cowards and sissy-boy faggots. All spiritual weaklings, losers, and failures.

We're all going to die, we can't handle it, and so we never let up with our evasions and lies.

Humans have been bred to be vermin and scum. And so we are.

Or, at least, so all of you are. I seem to be different.
