Our World

This is a crazy world. Everyone has such irrational and crazy beliefs.

During the Greek and Roman eras, when reason and philosophy were invented, almost everyone followed one or more specific philosophies, such as Atomism, Aristotelianism, Epicureanism, Stoicism, Skepticism, Cynicism, Pythagoreanism, and Platonism. But in today’s world, or at least the Western part of it, virtually everybody follows one of only two general philosophies: Rightism or Leftism. These belief-systems can also be described as religious conservatism and collectivist progressivism. Altho' some people manage to combine the two, most folks adhere closely to one or the other, while pretty much passionately loathing the opposite faith and its followers.

Unfortunately, both major philosophies are highly irrational and foolish. Neither makes any sense. Rightists believe in the epistemology of dogma and faith, while Leftists believe in the epistemology of relativism and subjectivism. Both belief-systems largely reject the sound, solid, intellectual foundation of reason and science. Both largely oppose the ideas that Nature is all-powerful and that objective truth exists. Conservatives and progressives mostly reject the notion that everyone must fully respect and submit to the core values and standards of reason and science.

Hence Rightists and Leftists zealously command their followers to oppose and attack the Holy Individual. Instead, they are told to support and worship "the lord" or "the group". Conservatives and progressives want people to live for the sake of religion or the masses – not for themselves. They want you to self-sacrifice yourself and your precious life for these two abstract and unreal entities.

Rightists and Leftist don’t see you as an end in yourself, and don’t want you to live for your own sacred purposes and goals. They generally oppose you seeking to live up to your convictions and ideals, seeking to fulfill your hopes and dreams, and seeking to achieve greatness and your destiny. Instead, these two crazy philosophies demand that you serve as a kind of slave to the theoretical and non-existent phenomena of some deity or morass.

Such irrational, fundamental beliefs – with such suicidal moral codes – are a type of lunacy. Such false and evil philosophies can’t be defended using logic or common sense. In effect, the rational, comprehensible universe laughs at the nut-jobs who hold such bizarre beliefs.

The main reason Rightists and Leftists follow such bad philosophy – other than a fundamental commitment to self-deception – is because they see how false and evil the major alternative philosophy is. And because they think these two ideological possibilities are the only ones which exist, they’re convinced that theirs is the only true one.

Of course, the conservatives and progressives aren’t truly convinced. A small but serious part of their mind recognizes reality. So the faithful have to apply a lot of fanaticism and self-brain-washing to keep their natural doubts at bay. They quietly understand that basic reason and common sense reject Rightism and Leftism. So the somewhat frenetic religious conservatives, and rather unhinged collectivist progressives, have to generate a considerable amount of personal blindness and craziness to persuade themselves that their respective belief-system is actually true and good.

But it isn’t. Their philosophy is lunacy.

And so this is a crazy world. Virtually everyone in it is a lunatic.

Recipe for Disaster

Nuclear bombs and welfare statism don’t mix. And since it’s generally undesirable and impossible to go backward in science and technology, mankind needs to go forward in politics. It’s fairly well known – even in today’s world of high governmental ignorance – that “free” nations rarely or never go to war with each other. So all of today’s communist, Islamic, and tribalist slave nations need to be converted to free ones. So too all of today’s semi-tyrannical Western welfare states.

For the nuclear-armed West, this means no more helpful and caring “soft” tyranny. No more beneficial and friendly “moderate” coercion of the Holy Individual. No more governmental attacks, and initiations of force, upon persons or groups “for their own good” or “for the greater good”. No more dictatorial regulation of social, economic, or personal behavior. Let men be free!

If the state stops attacking the Sacred Self, he’ll feel safe, protected, confident, free, happy, and prosperous. He and his nation won’t have any motivation to go to war. They won’t have much ability to either.

In a free society with an effective libertarian government, every man is protected from criminals, and from his government. No-one makes war upon him. People and property are protected from both street thugs and Big Brother do-gooders. 

Under political liberty, there’s no more collectivist attacks upon individuals “in the public interest” and “for the good of all”. Such assaults make people so unhappy and lead to such social strife! When aggressive violence is removed from the powers of state, virtually everyone becomes safe, secure, friendly, cooperative, happy, and content. War fades into a distant memory. 

Nowadays, nuclear devices should only be used against asteroids and space aliens. The tyrannical, bellicose welfare state needs to become ancient history. Society and government should feature individual liberty for all and nuclear bombs for none.

Philosophical Consensus

* Friedrich Hegel, 1770 – 1832 A.D.

Reality is unreal. Rationality is irrational. Reason has no contact with reality. Man’s rational mind can’t comprehend reality.

They all agree. So case closed.

Instead, man should have faith and believe in god. He should reject reason and disbelieve in reality. Reject nature, life, humanity, and self.

Man should embrace sacrifice and suicide. Not meaning, purpose, achievement, greatness, pleasure, or happiness. And definitely not personal transcendence, triumph, and godhood, with immense knowledge and power.

Armageddon

 

America and the West committed a catastrophic moral error in 1949 when they failed to overthrow the Russian dictatorship after they acquired nuclear weapons. They repeated that error in 1964 with China. And in 1998 with Pakistan. And in 2003 with North Korea.

America and the West doubled down on this moral misstep when they failed to develop – or even decently attempted to develop – a defense against these unthinkable bombs. And the error continues today in that essentially neither of these failures is understood, even in hindsight. History hasn’t taught America and the West the relevant lesson.

It’s the job of the relatively civilized, good, and free peoples of the world to militarily defend themselves from annihilation. But America and the West aren't doing that. It’s even their job to try to protect the relatively decent peoples elsewhere, if possible.

Ultimately, the Americans and other Western nations are suffering badly from their 73-year-old strategic and moral mistake. So are the semi-innocent citizens and victims of the slave states of Russia, China, Pakistan, and North Korea. Only the tyrants and their handful of cronies are prospering from this.

And since these aggressive and war-like dictatorships continue to have undefendable nuclear devices, everybody on the planet pretty much gets to live in terror forever.

As a footnote, it’s worth noting that The United States had timely military plans in place to defeat this ultra-powerful, bellicose, and enslaving enemy. It was called Operation Offtackle and it was ready in February 1949. Wikipedia reports:

“The strategic air campaign outlined in Offtackle...called for the delivery of 292 atomic bombs and 224 tons of conventional bombs. It was estimated that 85 percent of the industrial targets would be completely destroyed. These included electric power, shipbuilding, petroleum production and refining, and other essential war fighting industries. Moreover, it was hoped that the campaign would not just cripple Soviet industry, but loosen the control of the government over the people…”

--Wikipedia, “United States war plans (1945–1950)”

This would have worked! At relatively minimal cost, 73 years of nuclear terror in the West could have been avoided, and Soviet tyranny defeated.

Dictators

 

Dictators ruin the world. The world needs to terminate them.

In nations like China, Russia, Pakistan, North Korea, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, there are a tiny handful of political “leaders” or slave-masters who ruin everything. These maybe five or ten beasts dictate most of the personal, social, and economic lives of their “citizens” or victims, while simultaneously threatening or harming neighboring nations, or even the whole planet. These dictators radically degrade the wealth, health, security, satisfaction, comfort, greatness, pleasure, and happiness of everyone they dominate.

These monsters need to be eliminated. The semi-decent people of nations like America, Britain, France, Germany, and Japan shouldn’t have to live in terror of these enemy dictators and the populations they control. Semi-good people in relatively free nations shouldn’t have to fear being conquered, enslaved, or slaughtered by political tyrants and their cronies. The enslavers need to be eliminated.

These dictators cause everyone to suffer. Everybody inside and outside their nations are made miserable by them. Why must about .0001% of the planet cause the other 99.9999% to live in agony? Especially when this microscopic minority is essentially pure evil?

Dictators ruin the world. The world needs to terminate them.

Left, Right, and Straight

 

Leftists and progressives champion the social and political ideal of “social justice”. Rightists and conservatives champion the social and political ideal of “law and order”. Both ideological groups mostly reject the straightest and liberal ideal of “liberty and justice for all”.

“Social justice” generally means the police can’t monitor, arrest, and jail large numbers of blacks and hispanics, even tho they commit large numbers of crimes. It also means society can’t observe how much blacks and hispanics go on welfare, degrade the culture, practice bigotry, and vote for tyranny.

“Law and order” generally means the police are converted to fascists and tin-pot dictators as they enforce vice, car, and public-order crimes, even tho most of these aren’t real crimes. It also means society can’t observe how much this corrupts the police, establishes mafias, creates hypocrisy, and erodes respect for the law and all of mankind.

Under leftism, the guilty go free. Under rightism, the innocent get locked up.

Both the progressive and conservative standards and goals destroy liberty and justice for all. Individual rights are unprotected and violated by the police. People and property are attacked by the government.

The leftist and rightist social and political ideals are exceptionally flawed, and do a great deal of damage to the individual and society.

How to Deal With Slave Nations

 

How should the semi-civilized, semi-respectable, semi-free nations of the West deal with the savage, monstrous, slave nations of the world – mostly animated by socialism, Islam, and Third World tribalist dictatorship?

First, the semi-liberal Western peoples should attempt to overthrow the totalitarian governments controlling these threatening and suffering nations. The West should try to set up a properly free society with a libertarian and capitalist legal structure. But if this involves too much time and effort, or costs too much money and lives, or harms too many semi-innocents in the slave states, then the Westerners should attempt to educate the barbarians in the ways of social libertarianism and economic capitalism – however poorly they understand them. But if the dictatorships won’t much allow this propagandization, via their censorship, then the West needs at least to militarily arm and defend itself against these naturally aggressive, warring, conquering nations.

The semi-civilized Western peoples also need to break off all diplomatic, economic, social, and cultural ties with the monster nations. They need to employ common sense and avoid befriending, enriching, and arming their enemies. The West should totally isolate the pariah peoples – shunning and boycotting them till they stop behaving like animals.

Such activities will tend to impoverish the tyrannical regimes radically. And it will withdraw the West’s moral support – which is a quietly powerful weapon. It will undercut the barbarians philosophically and psychologically. It will tend to break their hearts and spirits. It should render their dictatorial leaders weak, and highly subject to internal and external defeat.

Next, the quasi-free peoples should explicitly condemn the intellectual and moral leaders of the monster nations. They should loudly let them know how intellectually, morally, and spiritually bankrupt they are. The West should also intellectually refute and morally damn the people for their rotten ideology. They should condemn the masses for following along with their bad leaders, and all of their bad ideas and ideals. The semi-free Western peoples should command them to overthrow their evil leadership.

Next, the relatively good nations of the earth should somehow find a way to educate the bestial nations. Despite all their government resistance and censorship, the West needs to figure out how to propagandize their intellectual and political leaders, along with the masses. Teach these backward monkeys some ideas and ideals with a lot more truth and morality in them than this wretched business of socialism, Islam, and Third World tribalist dictatorship.

Of course, it would help indescribably if the Western nations themselves were far more rational and liberal. Far more civilized, respectable, and free. Far more socially libertarian and economically capitalist.

That way, the Western peoples could teach and propagandize by example. This technique for influencing others is immensely powerful and almost cost-free. Moreover, a truly rational, liberal, and free West would quickly acquire enormous wealth, high technology, and military weaponry with which to defend itself, as well as to liberate the savage and enslaved nations.

The Tyrant Speaks

 

The dictator of Russia yesterday issued an intolerable threat to the world: “Whoever would try to stop us [in our war on Ukraine]...should know that the Russian response will be immediate and lead you to such consequences as you have never faced in your history.” [Vladimir Putin, 2-23-22]

So what will the weakling sissy intellectual and political leaders of America and the West do in response to this menace? How will the pathetic loser Americans, British, Germans, French, and Japanese reply to this threat? These self-haters and self-destroyers will act and answer poorly. These incompetents and failures won’t properly defend themselves or stand up for what’s right.

America and the West are absurdly and depravedly defenseless against the Russian (and Chinese and Pakistani) nuclear bombs, bio-chemcial weapons, and hyper-sonic missiles. We made ourselves thus on purpose – because Americans and Westerners think we have little or no right to self-defense and security. Tyrannical destroyers and monster republics supposedly have the right to unmolestedly assemble a gigantic collection of weapons of mass destruction which we can’t remotely defend against.

But the fact is evil slave nations and communist mafia tyrannies like Russia, China, and Pakistan shouldn’t be around in the first place. Such demonic peoples and states have no right to exist. The moment such nightmare nations and criminal dictatorships emerge on the world stage, they should be immediately destroyed, overthrown, and liberated on principle.

Shoplifting

 

Shoplifters are thieves. They should be fined or jailed. Obviously.

If a store owner, employee, or security guard catches a shoplifter, the thief needs to return the stolen goods and be detained for the police. If the criminal refuses to return the stolen goods and wait for the police, he should be physically restrained or beaten till he complies. Obviously.

If the police can’t or won’t jail the shoplifters, they should be fired – and perhaps themselves jailed. If the legislators or district attorneys can’t or won’t pass and enforce laws to jail the store robbers, they should be removed from office – and perhaps themselves jailed.

Private property is sacred. It’s the foundation of civilization. A society which doesn’t respect and protect private property is barbaric and uncivilized. It should be terminated.

A society which allows shoplifting is a society which hates itself, is at war with itself, and will soon destroy itself. Good-bye and good riddance.

People

 

Befriend the best people you can. Don’t hope for good or high-quality ones. They don’t exist. People are scum. And this is a Dark Age, which makes them worse.

Our world is profoundly irrational, illiberal, abnormal, unhealthy, and unhappy. So are all the people in it. You yourself are too.

Objective goodness and greatness don’t exist. Everyone is a crushing disappointment to everyone else. Human nature and nurture today make people really low. So just try hard to track down and win over the best people you can, scumbag.
