Hostage-Taking

 

Hostage-takers should be met with immediate and overwhelming force. This nips the problem in the bud. And the hostage-takers deserve this. Capturing an innocent, threatening his life, and ransoming him off is an act of incredible evil. Persons, mafias, and dictatorships that do such a thing need to be dealt with quickly and severely.

Negotiating with such monsters is morally depraved. Giving them money, favors, and prisoners in exchange for the hostage’s life is a terrible crime which rewards and empowers evil. It also ensures hostage-taking will increase in the near future.

Unfortunately, America and the West have a long history of proudly and defiantly saying: "We don’t negotiate with, or make deals with, hostage-takers." Then they do just the opposite. Their absurd and laughable boasts of defiance are too contemptable and disgusting for words. The fact is: rapid, harsh, proper, effective responses to hostage-taking are rare. Communist and Moslem tyrannies especially like to take Americans and other Westerners hostage.

This almost always works. The bad guys almost never pay a decent penalty. The sissiness and impotence of America and the West is lengendary. Their weakness is vast and their humiliation virtually never ends. What a horror for the supposedly superior folks of Western "civilization" to be continually shamed and disgraced in this manner!

When will America and the West finally stand up for themselves, fight back, and show a bit of self-respect and personal honor? When will the evil enemies be properly smashed and defeated? Not in any of our lifetimes.

At long last, America and the Western nations need to convert to the strong and heroic philosophy of liberalism. Until then, the shame and humiliation of hostage-taking and ransom-paying will never end.

Planet of Monsters

Humans are natural predators, parasites, tyrants, slaves, animals, beasts, and monsters. The evidence for this is overwhelming.

The personal and social destructiveness of mankind is massive. Their intellectual cowardice and dishonesty are stunning. Their shallowness, pettiness, meanness, and nastiness leave you numb. Human beings are truly disgusting, appalling, revolting creatures.

The moment you spot a human you should beat the living hell out of it. Or run for your life. Or grab your vomit bag.

People are essentially evil incarnate. They're lowlifes, slimeballs, and scumbags virtually without end.

But human beings aren't pure evil. Pure evil doesn’t exist. It can't exist. Evil ideas, institutions, and creatures naturally destroy themselves. They cause themselves to fall out of existence. So, however much they may seem to be, people aren't pure evil.

The individual human doesn't attack and obliterate himself utterly. Nor does he do so to his fellow man. And vice-versa.

I myself certainly wasn't born to destroy myself, nor the people around me. That isn't part of my nature. And yet I was definitely taught this! My fellow, miserable, mutant, monkey-man's attempt to indoctrinate me into omni-destructionism was and is relentless.

But I still resist it. And the older I get, the stronger I get. Mankind has failed in its ferocious intent to brainwash and manhandle me into monstrous depravity.

Better luck next time, boys!

Monetary Policy

 

Money, banks, loans, credit policy, and interest rates should be private and capitalist. But in America they’re mostly governmental and communist. The remaining "free" ones are regulated to death. Among other things, this leads to inflation, poor banking service, high banking costs, low interest paid on savings accounts, difficulty in getting loans, and high loan costs. This is a recipe for poverty and economic collapse.

Federal and state banking charters shouldn't exist. Nor should the Federal Reserve System. Nor the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Nor the Securities and Exchange Commission. Nor financial regulations. Nor bank bailouts. But all of these are pervasive. This is a recipe for poverty and economic collapse.

America’s monopoly, communist, "funny money" even stopped being backed by gold and silver partially in 1933 and completely by 1971. This is a recipe for poverty and economic collapse.

The fascist, tyrannical, American government particularly regulates and coerces private banks to make loans based on bigotry. It mandates racism, sexism, and class warfare. It compels favoritism and low standards for all non-whites, non-males, and non-wealthy. This is a recipe for poverty and economic collapse.

Hence the dozen or more artificially created booms, busts, and panics in American history. The semi-communist federal government even caused an economic depression which lasted over a decade (1929-1941). This removal of financial liberty also devastates American society and culture.

Such economic regulation, coercion, fascism, communism, and tyranny dooms us all. We need to deregulate, privatize, and liberate quickly and radically. Or America will continue to suffer bankruptcy and financial ruin, eventually followed by social disintegration and tyrannical revolution.

The Superior Philosophies of the Communists and Moslems

 

Practically everyone today assumes that the American philosophy, culture, and lifestyle of Western liberalism is far better than that of the various communist and Moslem nations. But is it?

However weak and awful those commie and muzzie societies may be, at least they don’t hate, abuse, and violate the rights of whites and males at a high level. Nor do they praise blacks, Hispanics, and women as immensely superior, and then favor them in social policy. Nor do the communist and Moslem societies allow evil, enemy, Third World, savage "migrants" to invade, degrade, and debauch their counties. These non-Western countries also don’t intellectually and morally condemn their own peoples, belief-systems, cultures, social systems, and political systems.

America is guilty of all of these crimes. The self-hating, self-destroying, American nation embraces all of this absurdity and depravity. And more.

America is currently obsessed with the bizarre, trivial, and ugly subject of transsexuality. It’s infected with CRT, DEI, and ESG, while promoting BIPOCs and LGBTQIA+s, and not condemning BLM or Antifa. The homeless and criminals rule most big cities. And in America you usually can’t even get needed opiate pain medication, however terrible the agony.

So who needs this wretched American philosophy? Who in hell wants to suffer under it? However generally failed and dreadful communist and Moslem nations may be, their explicit philosophies are in many respects superior.

So the current world situation is a true "clash of civilizations", just as Samuel Huntington noted in his famous 1996 book. It’s a great question as to who will win and who should win.

Ultimately, even the disgusting, insectoid communists and Moslems of today refuse to embrace the foolish and loathsome Woke philosophy of America. However much smug Americans continue to claim intellectual, cultural, moral, and spiritual superiority over their rivals, even 12-year-old kids in China, Russia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia can see that these claims are often false.

America’s dominant philosophy of Wokism advocates a horrific combination of irrationality, anti-sciencism, socialism, fascism, anti-Americanism, anti-Westernism, anti-Enlightenmentism, moral equivalency, cultural relativism, racism, sexism, anti-individualism, anti-capitalism, anti-freedomism, social engineering, social abuse, mob rule, brainwashing, conformism, cancel culture, absence of debate, censorship, self-hatred, and self-destruction. Even the lowly communist and Moslem nations want no part of it.

Irrational Man

 

People are zealously and militantly irrational. They refuse to think under virtually any circumstances. They’re terrified of gaining knowledge of any type. So they decline to be rational ever.

Skepticism of reason is universal. People say rational thought doesn’t yield objective truth or certain knowledge. But this is nonsense. And everybody knows it.

Human beings aren't truly skeptical about the power, authority, and efficacy of reason. But they pretend to be. So it's the same thing. As a principle, people are fanatically opposed to rationality.

The great relativists and subjectivists of history and today claim reality is unknowable. Even tho they perfectly well understand the opposite is true. The great dogmatists and faithful of history and today pretend that god exists. Even tho they perfectly well understand the opposite is true. Many people even embrace all four falsities and depravities – relativism, subjectivism, dogma, and faith.

So here we are! Everyone is irrational on purpose. Everybody is a mindless drone or braindead zombie. The left-wing progressives live for and serve "the collective" while the right-wing conservatives live for and serve "the lord". Neither entity exists.

Both groups renounce the Sacred Self – which does. People willingly reject their own mind and life. They repudiate reason and reality. Human beings deliberately oppose and destroy their own pleasure and happiness.

When I personally first came across a semi-decent explanation of politics – after 18 years of relentless brainwashing – I figured it out in under two hours. Because that's all it takes!

But that's because I'm rational. I use my thinking, reasoning mind. I seek understanding, knowledge, and truth. But I seem to be unique in this.

Ultimately, the supposedly pro-reason Aristotle never said god was non-existent. And the supposedly pro-reason Ayn Rand created a cult. Both did so deliberately.

They knew what they were doing all along. They knew it was irrational and evil. But they did so anyway.

Now all supposedly pro-reason, Aristotelian-based Randians are either cultists or people who refuse to condemn cultism. All of them are irrational and evil. And all are this way on purpose.

Tools of Cognition

 

The ferociously pro-reason philosopher Ayn Rand says: "Emotions are not tools of cognition." But they are. Not scientific or exact tools, but lightning-quick, profound, often-strong, and important ones.

However rational you are, you should almost always partially trust your instincts or your gut. You should pay close attention to these subconscious feelings, test them on a continuous basis, and try to remember how often – and in what senses – these vague but powerful impressions prove to be true, or at least helpful. When it comes to determining the nature of reality, and what actions to undertake, rational calculation alone isn’t enough.

Your gut or "lizard brain" is highly suggestive and can often tell you a lot as to whether you’re on the right or wrong path in your thinking and behavior. It can often indicate whether triumph or disaster looms. These subconscious emotions and impressions can and should somewhat guide you. They’re important supplements and compliments to logical evaluation.

Emotions and gut reactions are useful and sometimes invaluable guides to what to do next, how, and why; as well as what to think about, how, and why. Hence, despite what Ayn Rand claims, emotions are formidable and crucial tools of cognition.

The On-Going Battle

 

The philosophy, culture, lifestyle, and attitude of liberalism began with the Greeks. It started rather slowly with Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes. But it picked up speed with Empedocles, Anaxagoras, and Democritus. And it reached a high and sophisticated level with Aristotle, Epicurus, and Zeno the Stoic. These last taught a fairly formidable version of the epistemology of reason and science, the metaphysics of naturalism and objectivism, the ethics of individualism and self-interest, the esthetics of beauty and heroism, and the spirituality of transcendence and triumph.

Of course, there were opponents of liberalism all along. Thinkers like Parmenides and Zeno the Paradoxist, Protagoras and Gorgias, Pyrrho and Sextus Empiricus. They were nihilists who thought reality was unreal, or at least unknowable. They were skeptics of reason, man’s only serious tool and technique for understanding the universe and determining the truth. They claimed using rationality in your thought and life was irrational. At the least, they pretended to believe such nonsense.

Nihilism and skepticism gave rise to two forms of illiberalism, then and now: religious conservatism and collectivist progressivism. Early conservatives were the Eleusinian mystery cultists while early progressives were the Spartan military-dictatorship communists.

Even tho 2600 years have passed since the advent of liberal thought, rational, individualist, freedomist liberals still haven’t won. Irrational, sacrificial, tyrannical religiosos and irrational, sacrificial, tyrannical collectivists still bedevil us.

Bigotry Now

 

America really and truly is "systemically racist" and "systemically sexist", just as most leading intellectuals today claim. It’s bigoted against whites and males. But this post-1965 prejudice is quite odd.

Mostly it consists of false accusations – of claiming that good people with innocent motivations who perpetrate innocent or benevolent acts are somehow hideously racist or sexist. This society-wide prejudice also consists of viciously damning anyone who dares to defend such good and innocent individuals. Or of declining to verbally lynch the entire class of guiltless and harmless whites and males. So strange!

The great social philosophy of America today is: "Hate whitey, kill whitey". Add to it: "Hate manny, kill manny". Anybody who refuses to embrace this bigotry is reflexively accused of supporting "white supremacy" and "the patriarchy". Also of being a Hitler-lover, Ku Klux Klan member, misogynist, and virtual rapist whose vile, bigoted ideas and life damage everyone.

Consensus wisdom today holds that enslaving or exterminating all whites and males is the only way. And anyone who denies this self-evident truth needs to be put in chains or strung up.

The Current War

 

The communists and Moslems are at war with America and the West. They seek to mass-murder, conquer, and enslave us all. But America and the West don’t much realize this war is going on – so we don’t much fight back. That’s why we’re losing.

China, Russia, North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and other allied commie and muzzie nations are engaged in an indirect, low-level, constant Cold War against semi-liberal, semi-free Western Civilization. They’re stealing as much money and technology from us as they can. And this is quite a lot! Their ability to win wars is steadily rising. And the on-going response of the semi-civilized nations, to the world’s savages and beasts, is poor and pathetic.

America and the West absurdly "fight" this Cold War mostly by having diplomatic, social, and economic relations with these monster nations in order to undercut their evil socio-economic systems and show them that "our way of life is best". Well, the Holy Individual is greatest, freest, and happiest here. And our liberal society is the most harmonious, friendly, well-educated, scientifically advanced, economically wealthy, and culturally rich.

But the demon nations don’t care. Their dictators and intellectual leaders aren’t impressed. All they see is stuff they can steal and people they can fool.

As Douglas Murray puts it: 

"The elites of America and Europe thought bringing China into international organizations would push democratic norms into the country. Instead, China has pushed democratic norms out of international organizations." (The War on the West, 2022, p. 69)

China, Russia, North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the like have had the same impact upon Western liberal institutions and beliefs.

The American and Western philosophy of supposed Reasonism and Individualism is losing. It’s failing for us personally and collectively. America and the West think we have a highly liberal philosophy, and consequently liberal society and culture. But that’s far from the case.

And so the savage nations, which believe in the Holy Collective and Holy God, are defeating those who weakly and poorly believe in the Holy Individual. The sad, terrible truth is the semi-liberal, semi-civilized nations of the world actually believe in a mere blend of individualism and collectivism, plus a blend of reasonism and religion. Both as individuals, and as a society, this witch’s brew undercuts us badly.

Of course, our philosophy and way of life is still far superior to that of the high level of illiberalism and evil found in communism and Islam. But our system is very contradictory. It makes for a weak offense and defense. America and the West – courtesy of our convoluted and confused belief-system – end up being very self-hating and self-destroying. Western Civilization and the semi-liberal peoples are our own worst enemies.

Ironically, America and the West these days mostly root for and support the other guys. We tend to intellectually agree with them, emotionally sympathize with them, and spiritually hope they win.

And in today’s on-going Cold War between the liberals and the illiberals, the savages, beasts, monsters, and demons are winning.

The Nature of Man

People frequently question whether man is mostly, or fundamentally, good or evil. Intellectuals and philosophers especially discuss and debate this. But it may be that man is essentially neutral. Or quite possibly he’s both good and evil, with large elements of these opposites inside of him, as part of his nature. The classical Greeks and Romans often claimed man was "part god, part beast".

Mankind must be significantly good in some senses or he wouldn’t have achieved so much, or risen so far above the animals, over the millennia. Still, he must be considerably evil too given his obvious propensity to irrational thought, senseless behavior, self-destruction, and harm to those he lives with and loves. And we musn’t forget his tendency toward suicide and war.

Looking further, it may be that the massman is especially inherently corrupt and low, while the elite man is much less so. The vulgate may be naturally vulgar and despicable. Many powerful thinkers over the centuries have denounced the hoi polloi, mob, philistines, and rabble for their base intellectual, moral, and spiritual qualities. These seem to complement their naturally weak minds, poor educations, and bad upbringing, as well as their inferior philosophies, cultures, lifestyles, and attitudes.

So it may be the case that the superior man of interior loftiness is inherently inclined to work long, hard, and well at all that he does, while the inferior man of interior lowliness is inherently inclined to sloth, lack of focus, and incompetence on this. Elite men may naturally take pride in themselves and their learning, manners, polish, and personal honor, while the crude man in the street is slovenly, careless, and lackadaisical here. Plato looked down upon "the common herd" while Aristotle said the masses "preferred a life suitable to beasts".

Even so, the massman and the elite both seem to be massively, or even overwhelmingly, controlled by the intellectuals and their dominant theories. If the philosophers and deep thinkers of a given society are profoundly irrational and nonsensical in their beliefs – such as by being nihilist, religious, socialist, or sacrificial – then the destructiveness and wickedness of both the common man and the superior one seems to rise exponentially. Neither can resist thinking, saying, and doing some truly heinous things.

So if someone is serious about uplifting human beings, and their society and culture, he very probably needs to focus on improving philosophy, and not human nature. People are likely morally neutral, or mixed, or unpredictably heterogeneous. But they’re highly subject to intellectual manipulation and control. If someone wants the vulgar masses and lofty elite to think, live, and behave better, he needs to give them much more rational and liberal theories and ideas to work with.
