Paul Krugman claims himself, Ezra Klein, Jonathan Cohn, and Jonathan Chait are part of a "wonk brigade," and that among "the differences between right and left in America is that the progressive infrastructure includes a contingent of genuine wonks—commentators on policy who really do make models and crunch numbers, and sometimes come up with answers that aren’t fully predictable from their politics."
I guess mixing varieties of third wayism and cultural Marxism doesn't qualify as being fully predictable, but not being fully predictable is a abysmal, irrelevant standard. No one is fully predictable. Being better than establishment Republicans is also a very, very low bar.
The wonk brigade writes mostly about politics, not policies, defending the deforms and token reforms of third wayism.
For years, Third Wayers acted as if major reforms were impractical, no matter the public support. At what point do reforms become probable? Or are we supporsed to accept endless decay? And why should we citizens accept being part of an empire that continues to get worse?
Krugman is right to criticize progressive overemphasis on Glass-Steagall, but this is what major financial reforms resemble, and the reforms have little in common with wonk brigade writings.
Krugman doesn't mention a major reason progressives and Third Wayers have more wonks: the groupthink situation in academia. Almost anyone who dissents from Marxism, third wayism, libertarianism, and neoconservatism is unlikely to have an academic career. Krugman spewed thousands of ethnoracial views over the years, but Krugman almost never provides good evidence for those views. Multiculturalists treat cultural Marxism as off limits to well-reasoned wonkery. Multiculturalism serves as a holy fanaticism, even among wonks.
If you asked the wonk brigade about which eugenic policies are best and why, you'd probably get ad hominem attacks and other fallacies in return.

Health and Exercise Ideas
Medical solutions that work better for me than the therapies recommended to me:
- For excruciating lumbar disease and facet joint syndrome, raise your feet so your body is horizontal and have someone sit on your butt while doing plank exercises. Or hang weights from your butt or hips while doing plank exercises. Never do sit ups or crunches or torso twists. Avoid sitting. Have your feet and lower legs hang off the end of your bed when supining.
- For knee osteoarthritis and bone spurs, use isometric wall sits, isometric lunges, and standing cable station leg kicks in addition to supine leg lifts.
- For TMD, cut a mouth guard into a smaller mouth guard. No matter how well you wash mouthguards, they are bad for molars.
- For neck osteoarthritis, use your fists and door frames to apply isometric pressure to the front and sides of your neck.
- For metatarsalgia, wear soft soled shoes and shove massive amounts of cushioning in your shoes, including soft arch supports. Cut open the front tops of your shoes to make more room for the cushions and the balls of your feet if necessary. Do toe raises while your arches rest on an a narrow, exposed tree root or other narrow, upraised object. Resist the urge to stay off your feet. Keep walking when standing.
- For shoulder osteoarthritis, experiment with dozens of different free weight and cable station lifts until you find those that help more than hurt.
The Rules of Ethnoracial Egalitarianism in Practice
The main equality of ethnoracial egalitarianism is equal opportunity of taking advantage of nonwealthy whites.
In conflicts among nonwealthy whites and nonwhites, ruling groups mostly side with nonwhites, no matter the evidence. Even conflicts among nonwhites--Syria or Trayvon Martin versus George Zimmerman--turn into opportunities to bash and harm nonwealthy whites.
In conflicts among ruling groups and nonwealthy individuals, the ruling groups almost always side with themselves, no matter the evidence.
In conflicts among nonwhites and other nonwhites, the ruling groups side with legalized bribery (wealthy Southwest Asians) or whichever group is more tribal.
The jobs, lives, schools, cultures, countries, families, and neighborhoods of nonwealthy whites may be given to or destroyed by multiculturalists, but the wealth of wealthy multiculturalists is off limits because wealthy multiculturalists earned their wealth via rent seeking activities.
This is no way to democratically govern, and it is no way to ethically govern.

Life in a Medium Bad, Medium Cool Multicultural Neighborhood
No multicultural social scientist (almost all social scientists) will do accurate research on this topic, so you are stuck with my small sample fallacy case study.
I live in a majority Hispanic neighborhood in the former United States. I have lived in poor neighborhoods most of my life. As multicultural neighborhoods go, mine is not too bad, though like most neighborhoods it gets worse with each passing year.
What is life like here?
Every morning the grounds are filled with trash (bottles, diapers, you name it). Porters and a few residents (me) clean up.
Young, adult white professionals sometimes move in. They don't last more than a few months. One day at the apartment office, I saw a new white neighbor in tears, begging to escape her lease.
I have never seen a white child living in my neighborhood. None. Even supporters of multiculturalism, somehow have an unconscious awareness that this is no place for white children. Multiculturalists blame bad neighborhoods on the mysterious power of poor whites and white r*cism. Johnny Knoxville made a documentary film about the wonders of living in Detroit for white professionals. I don't remember seeing a white child anywhere in the documentary. Knoxville's white professionals lived in urban islands, seldom experiencing much of Detroit, pursuing hedonistic dead ends.
Panhandling is aggressive here. Note of advice: panhandling relies on the foot in the door technique. If someone asks you for a quarter and you give it to him, he will pressure you for more. The tricks keep getting more sophisticated. I saw a man faking a seizure to get help from gullible whites. Another guy stumbles around in the middle of residential streets with a blind person's cane asking for help getting to a school for the blind. Woe to her who falls for the foot in the door technique.
Parked vehicles get dozens of mysterious dents. But I have never seen a nonwhite fess up. If you happen to ding a neighbor's vehicle and do the honorable thing by reporting it and paying for damages or having your insurance pay, you will still be berated by your neighbors. But don't expect your neighbors to report any damage they do to your vehicle. Fortunately, newer vehicles have flexible side mirrors, so mirror impacts seldom cause damage now.
Teenagers throw food, wrappers, and other objects at parked vehicles from balconies.
During my eleven years in my present neighborhood, I saw many crimes (fraud, thefts, assaults, and many property crimes). The rate of punishment for crime is less than one percent. Most crimes are not reported to the police. Football coaches say they want to hear the hitting. I hear the crime through my walls.
My neighbors know police seldom do much unless a serious crime occurs or someone gets caught in the act.
Unprovoked assaults: one night a car passenger threw a beer bottle at me. Another night, a truck passenger threw a partly frozen egg at me, yelling "Got 'em," hitting me below the sternum. I thought it was a slush ball until I smelled egg. While walking across a bridge, a teen punched me, almost knocking me in front of a passing car.
Law enforcement has little interest Wall Street crimes and the ongoing conquest of the West.
But law enforcement is interested in jaywalking in my neighborhood, passing out warnings and tickets with aplomb, as if facing the consequences of your own street crossing decisions were a serious matter. Police tell you that crossing at intersections is statistically safer. But the police don't tell you that intersections are statistically safer only for pedestrians who recklessly cross streets. I've been nicked twice by pickups making illegal right hand turns at intersections. I've never come close to being hit away from intersections because I make sure to never cross when vehicles are near. At intersections, you are at the mercy of drivers' decisions.
But leash laws go unenforced, fitting with the trend of ruling groups ignoring or rewarding creators of negative externalties but wanting to punish creators of positive externalities. I've been bitten twice by Hispanic's dogs.
Reddit tells you to wear headphones. Wrong. Headphones may reduce the rate of minor harassment, but headphones make you an easy target for more harmful crimes.
Hispanics throw nails and screws on lawns and parking lots. Lots of them. Leaf blowers and lawn mowers assist the great screw migration into tires. I had at least a dozen flat tires in the past 14 years. Despite severe osteoarthritis, I pick up hundreds of nails and screws each year. No matter the condition of this neighborhood, the land lords will not tolerate the abomination of leaves and grass clippings.
Nonwhite crimes directly cost me at least $1000 per year. Break ins alone cost me over $4200 during the past decade. The ethical costs are far larger.
Youths block stairwells and act peeved if you try to pass. "Excuse me," has a slow response time here, no matter how polite you are. Neighbors allow their dogs to defecate in stairwells. You must look down before you step out a door. Trash also ends up in stairwells, including slippery items.
Neighborhood pets and feral animals are infested with fleas. If you have no pets, your apartment will still have flea problems from fleas hopping rides on you as you walk toward your apartment. I spend over $80 every year flea bombing.
The stare. The ghetto stare. Whatever you call it. Non-white men and boys employ it. The message is difficult to mistake: "This is our land now, white people. You have no business being here. We don't care if you, your parents, and grandparents built this neighborhood."
Noise is constant. Sirens, music, fights, traffic, video games, you name it. I sleep with earplugs and a white noise machine. Surprisingly, I seldom hear gun shots.
Ambulances repeatedly visit the same apartments, an expensive sympathy seeking ploy.
Rents skyrocket thanks to increased demand from migrants and to multiculturalists trashing apartments. One nearby apartment was remodeled before a Puerto Rican family moved in. When they moved out, the place had to be remodeled again. The stench from their dogs was so rotten and embedded in the apartment, maintenance placed an ozone machine in the doorway for several weeks.
Traffic keeps getting worse. Left turns are death defying. Several cars have been T-boned in front of my apartment.
Several years ago a Mexican acquaintance told me I should rely on Mexican plumbers and mechanics because they (allegedly) charge less.
Terrible idea.
Mexican businesses see whites as prey. And you will pay for incompetence: My car mysteriously stalled one day, so I took it to a nearby Hispanic shop. The shop charged me over $800 for a new fuel pump, then incorrectly put everything back together. Later, at a white repair shop, I learned the real problem was the crankshaft position sensor (much cheaper to replace).
I asked a Mexican place for an estimate to change my fuel filter. They told me the old filter was rusted on and the fuel line around the filter would need replacing (very, very expensive). I took it to a white shop: No problem replacing the fuel filter. My brake lights stopped working. It took a Mexican shop eleven hours to find an open circuit. I watched the mechanic from the waiting room, and it was obvious he had little electrical training.
My right turn light stopped working. A Mexican shop found it impossible to repair and gave me my car back.
I asked a Mexican shop for an estimate on replacing my AC condenser. The estimate was nearly $900. A white shop replaced it for under $700.
I always take my car to white mechanics for repairs now or repair my car myself, no matter how far I must travel to find a white shop.
But Mexican shops are good for one thing: passing annual inspections. My car has flaws that should fail it every year. Yet hispanic shops keep passing it every year.
But wealthy multiculturalists might say, "My Hispanic maid and gardener are so nice." Some news: I have spent many hours listening to nonwhite service workers berate their white employers. Thanks to genes and cultural Marxism, nonwhites are devoted to anti-white supremacism from an early age. They see no good reason why in their view, an inferior white person should be the employer and they should be the employee. In some cases, they have a point. Why should white school teachers earn $60,000 per year teaching cultural Marxism and worthless information? Public school teaching is a very, very difficult job, but a job's difficulty is little indication of its moral benefit. Those sweet, obsequious nonwhite service workers change their tone once they get home and don't need to be nice for money. And they have many relatives with surly dispositions, who consider service work beneath them.
Migrant service workers are lose-lose-lose for working class whites. Migrants drive down wages. Working class Westerners lose their lives, schools, cultures, families, neighborhoods, and tax money. Migrants provide (mostly) status services to wealthy multiculturalists, who already have far too much status and power. Rich people need to clean up their own toilets. It's good for character. Rich people wrecked America with Randism, globalism, neoconservatism, and cultural Marxism. All the money the rich possess would pay only a fraction of the past, present, and opportunity costs of their actions. Not surprisingly, wealthy multiculturalists seldom pay the payroll taxes they are required to pay for their workers.
The benefits are for the rich multiculturalists and the costs are for the proles.
How do migrants find so much money to send home? One way is by violating leases and sharing small apartments with several migrants, apartments that supposedly prohibit more than two individuals, creating another negative externality for working class whites: increased water bills because water bills are often divided equally among apartments.
No matter how much the mass media desensitizes us to crime, when your friends and family are the ones being assaulted and burglarized vivid feelings of violation and degradation arise. Some days I have a lump in my throat and sinking feelings.
The media cite studies claiming non East Asian groups are no more likely to commit crimes than whites. Those studies use self-reports, where evidence indicates nonwhites are many more times than whites to make fallacious claims.
Whatever the thousands of pro-establishment fallacies whites tell themselves, most whites are comparatively scrupulous about telling personal life truths. This willingness to tell interpersonals truth may have assisted the rise of the West. But the unwillingness of millions of whites to tell political truths is behind the demise of the West.
The long-term white residents here have low wage jobs or severe physical disabilities. Or both.
I would move to Maine or Montana, except I get chronic sinus infections in cool weather and my wife has rheumatoid arthritis.
To wealthy multiculturalists, we're just white tr*sh. How do the wealthy know? That's what the mass media tells them everyday. And that's one way the wealthy sooth their self-contradiction filled souls--with fictional falsehoods and small sample fallacies.
Republican strategist Rick Wilson gained attention when he said alt righters "childless single men who masturbate to anime." Less remarked upon was Wilson's follow up totalitarian assertion: "These are not people who matter in the overall course of humanity." If they don't matter, why are the ruling groups so insistent about ruling over them and wrecking their lives? Wilson likely believes the same applies to anyone else who tells the truth about the Republican establishment.
I would rather live in an all white poor country with a median income of ten dollars per day and a maximum income of 20 dollars per day than this place. Land would be cheap or free to squat on. Without multiculturalism, there would be fewer long commutes. Nearly all our living expenses would be a fraction of what they are now. That's how nonwhites survive in nonwhite countries. They can support families on a few dollars a day because food is their only significant expense. It's easier to raise a family on five dollars per day in Bolivia than on 50 dollars per day in the West.
Many whites would prefer to live in an ethical society with an ethical espirit de corps, to build better futures. But what do our societies offer? Selfishness mixed with xenocentrism. Both forms of harm causing will create ethically worse future generations.
Peaceful secessions and other separations are necessary.

The Genetic and Environmental Path to Peace
An argument by Sarah Mathew uses unrepresentative sampling, Turkana tribes in Africa, to conclude that human alliances are often arbitrary and:
More recently, we see billions of votes being cast for establishment political parties when doing so is against self-interest and ethical interests. Ordinary voters even donate massive sums against self-interest and ethical interests.
Looking for some cultural common thread or "perceptions of cultural similarity" is not a path to peace. It is a path to misplaced altruism and increased egoism, already known as cultural Marxism. The Turkana ally with ethnoracially similar allies. Put them with whites or Northeast Asians and the Turkana will instantly exploit weaknesses, no matter how much multiculturalists try to indoctrinate us that we are all the same deep inside.
The Turkana almost certainly have much genetic and economic competition within their own "egalitarian" societies that Mathews does not tell us about.
The better path to peace is self-determination, free speech, real democracy, just economies, ethical reasoning, ethnoracially homogenous populations, ethically eugenic breeding, lack of xenocentrism, avoidance of geopolitical salience, severe punishment for legalized bribery, severe punishment for egoism, and defenses that make aggression hugely reckless for those at the top pursuing aggression.
the moral sphere of humans readily extends to include culturally similar people. This is useful because it implies that we could possibly expand the moral sphere by creating perceptions of cultural similarity. Finding the common thread that connects disparate cultures may not be just a cliché, but an evolutionarily backed-up path to peace.We don't need to look at the Turkana to see that alliances are arbitrary. Looking at history, we see millions of alliances that were self-destructive and ethically destructive.

The Man or Woman of Some Sort of Reason
The most upvoted reply on a Reddit thread comes from a terrible genre of writing, the genre of imitation well-reasonedness, the fake voicing of reason. My comments are in brackets:
Most arguments in this genre end up supporting establishment totalitarianisms for some strange reason. Hint for would be social scientists: Do some research on this genre. But that runs into the problem of social scientists not being good at reasoning either.
This post and OP are a perfect example of what is wrong with /r/politics right now [ad hominem and false claim]. No reasoned thought [false claim and straw person]. No civil discussion [false claim and straw person]. No critical thinking [false claim and straw person]. Sketchy sources to say the least [false claim and a self-contradiction]. Where has the intellectual debate gone [false claim]?The post was also gifted Reddit gold.
For example, this post. Fun fact, the New York Times Editorial Board endorsed Hillary Clinton today, not the New York Times [false dichotomy]. EVERY NEWSPAPERS' EDITORIAL BOARDS ENDORSE CANDIDATES [ad populum]. They have been doing it forever [appeal to tradition]. Hillary Clinton is the leading candidate for the Democratic Nomination right now [ad populum] and if you actually read the column, you would understand that they made a choice based on pragmatism [false claim], which is OK [false claim]! There are multiple points of view on every subject [irrelevant], unless you come to /r/politics [false claim]. As a long time political observer [faulty expertise], I was shocked to see in the sub outrageous statements made about the NYTs today [irrelevant]. For well over a hundred years, it has been the gold standard (along with the WSJ and others) for quality news and reporting [false claim and faulty expertise]. It is sad to see how some react to the paper as a whole when the Editorial Board endorses someone not named Bernie Sanders [straw person]. In addition, the article in question was a news piece, not an Editorial piece [false dichotomy].
Also, OPs like this are literally SPAMMING this sub [ad hominem]. Check it out, an account for like 8 hours that literally only posts pro-Bernie, anti-Hillary [ad hominem]. This isn't an isolated case. Look through these forums. They are everywhere [false claim]. Don't get me wrong, new voices and opinions are always welcome in the community [false claim], but when they are created solely for the purpose of pushing an agenda, while not breaking any rules, is still rather slimy [ad hominem].

The Great Filter
So what acts as the Great Filter? Why haven't we been contacted by alien civilizations?
My Guess is that at least one of the following applies:
My Guess is that at least one of the following applies:
- Life is rare.
- Intelligent life is rare.
- Intelligent life is rare in environments having physical resources for interstellar actions. (Intelligent ocean life has a difficult time developing interstellar technologies.)
- Most intelligent life stinks at moral reasoning and action, leading to takeovers by psychological and evolutionary egoists, preventing civilizations from ethically and technologically developing the ability to colonize or communicate long distances. This has already happened numerous times with human civilizations. Internal egoism and tribalistic outgroups destroy the civilizations.
- Technologies of nihilism or hedonism prevent sufficient advancement and interstellar activities. (For example, a few individuals in advanced societies can create bioweapons and other weapons of mass destruction.)
On the plus side, at least we haven't been destroyed or conquered by robots from elsewhere, yet.
Tips to Acquire Blog Readers
Just kidding. Look at my blog stats.
That's what happens when you're an actual independent rather than a party supporter disguised as an independent. Readers reject you because you don't fit their indoctrinated worldviews.
Or maybe not kidding.

Fanfare for the Salt-of-the-Earth Man, Woman, and Child
James Thompson has a solid post on welfarism, arguing that individuals on welfare, not surprisingly, increase dysgenic breeding.
It's been standard practice for generations to lump those with lower incomes together in the working class, though many of those labeled working class have little in common besides income. Many individuals labeled working class receive means tested benefits or would if they had the opportunity. Others labeled working class react with horror at the idea of welfare, correctly viewing welfare as free riding.
I call this latter group the salt-of-the-earth working class. The salt-of-the-earth working class has been besieged for decades by the trash cultures spread by the top one percent--Hollywood!--and the trash cultures of welfare recipient groups. The salt-of-the-earth working class tries to avoid welfare groups but is often stuck in the same neighborhoods as the welfare class, especially with increased immigration and increased dysgenic breeding.
Part of Putnam's hunkering down in diverse neighborhoods probably results from the salt-of-the-earth working class avoiding social interaction with welfare recipients.
The salt-of-the-earth working class tends to have the highest moral character in societies, doing the most important jobs in societies. Unlike the rich and upper middle class, the salt-of-the-earth working class is more likely to reject the fallacious narratives coming from the top.
The salt-of-the-earth working class is lower income for many reasons, including lower IQs, lower incidences of dark triad traits, preferences for productive professions, and because salters were raised in bad schools and bad neighborhoods, often experiencing the harmful effects of high residential mobility as their parents searched for decent jobs in the new economy.
Almost no one in the top one percent has qualms about their own free riding.
The salt-of-the-earth working class consists of reciprocal altruists while the wealthy and welfare recipients are prone to psychological and evolutionary egoism.
Little research exists on the differences among welfare receivers and the salt-of-the-earth working classes. Many in the the salt-of-the-earth working class view themselves as middle class, though their incomes are below the median.
Jayman remarked that white on white breeding in recently decades has been slightly eugenic for IQ but that raises questions about breeding for character traits. Intuitively, it seems breeding among the salters has plummeted because public policies have become disastrous while child rearing, decent schools, and adequate housing have become much more expensive--and salters don't want to burden others.
These distinctions are, of course, ignored by the economic and intellectual ruling classes, who tend to view their alleged inferiors as white tr*sh, their views about working class individuals formed from small sample fallacies--trash television and poorly reasoned rubbish they read in ruling group media.
