Craptastic Establishment Beliefs

Often someone will make a comment along these lines: establishment individuals can't or don't really believe the piles of BS they spew--all that globalism, militarism, credentialism, cultural Marxism, and robber baronism. High IQ establishment individuals can't be that willfully, mindbogglingly wrong, can they?

Oh, yes they do believe that crap.

How do I know?

Because when they talk about the views of non-establishment individuals, their arguments make them appear as neophytes on outside views, not even counting the straw person attacks, as if, at best, they merely skimmed a Wikipedia entry on outside views.

If they were secretly fact facers, they would secretly read the arguments and talk the language.

If someone said, "Bob is secretly a chemical engineer," but every time you heard Bob talk about chemical engineering he sounded like a five-year-old talking about chemical engineering, you wouldn't believe Bob was secretly a chemical engineer.

There's also some research.

The other alternative is that establishment individuals are the world's greatest method actors, deliberately making themselves look like unmitigated neophytes on outside views. Not likely.

Yes, it seems weird that establishment humans can act so dignified and articulate, yet spout one fallacy after another. But the human unwillingness to find and face moral facts, when doing so conflicts with perceived self-interest, is astronomical.

If you feel as if your head will explode, stop reading. Highlights from Barack Obama's recent speech:

But across our government... we are doing everything in our power to stop these kinds of attacks [false claim]... 

We work to succeed 100 percent of the time [false claim]... 

Our mission is to destroy ISIL [false claim]... 

These are not religious warriors [false claim and self-contradiction] ...

I have been clear about how extremist groups have perverted Islam to justify terrorism [false claim and self-contradiction]...  

For a while now, the main contribution of some of my friends on the other side of the aisle have made in the fight against ISIL is to criticize the administration and me for not using the phrase “radical Islam [straw person].” That’s the key, they tell us. We cannot beat ISIL unless we call them radical Islamists [Straw person]... 

[Obama continues by hammering the radical Islam phrase, a phrase popular with neoconservative multiculturalists, used to distinguish Jihad from the allegedly moderate Muslims, as if the label of an ideology matters more than individuals affected by ideologies. Obama frequently uses slurs but finds the label of an ideology by his fellow multiculturalists more offensive. Obama implies Jihad has nothing to do with Muslims, also implying that Jihad is something infidels do. Bizarre.]

And the reason I am careful about how I describe this threat has nothing to do with political correctness and everything to do with actually defeating extremism [false claims]...

They want to claim that they are the true leaders of over a billion of Muslims around the world who reject their crazy notions [false claim]... And if we fall into the trap of painting all Muslims as a broad brush, and imply that we are at war with the entire religion, then we are doing the terrorists’ work for them [straw person and false cause].

But we are now seeing how dangerous this kind of mindset and this kind of thinking can be [straw person and false cause]. We are starting to see where this kind of rhetoric and loose talk and sloppiness about who exactly we are fighting, where this can lead us [straw person and false cause]... 

The Orlando killer, one of the San Bernardino killers, the Fort Hood killer — they were all U.S. citizens [irrelevant].

Are we going to start discriminate them, because of their faith [staw person]? 

It does not reflect our Democratic ideals [false claim]. 

We have gone through moments in our history before when we acted out of fear, and we came to regret it [irrelevant and self-contradictory]... 

We don’t have religious tests here [false claim]... 

And if we ever abandon those values, we would not only make it a lot easier to radicalize people here and around the world [false cause], but we would have betrayed the very things we are trying to protect [false claim]...And then the terrorists would have won and we cannot let that happen. I will not let that happen [false claim]... patriotic Muslim-Americans serving their country in uniform ready to lay their lives on the line to protect you and to protect me [false claim]...  One team [false claim]. One nation [false claim].

Our diversity and our respect for one another, our drawing on the talents of everybody in this country, our making sure that we are treating everybody fairly, that we are not judging people on the basis of what faith they are or what race they are or what ethnicity they are or what their sexual orientation is [false claims and self-contradictions]. 

Welfare: Still Rotten

Some popularizers of recent studies claim welfare "doesn't make people lazy," except the studies involved small grants to poor people in poor countries. That's not Western style welfare. That's more like a small lottery winning.

Western style welfare does decrease hours worked.

Studies attempting to defend welfare in the West run into the problem of study participants being monitored and badgered, even when the studies do not engage in outright fraud.

The larger the free riding population, the greater the incentives become for others to give up and join the free riding.

In addition to TANF, SNAP, and other ordinary welfare programs, tax entitlements cost over $1.1 trillion per year. The uncounted direct and opportunity costs of monopolies, oligopolies, Wall Street, and other rent seeking entities are even larger.

Adventures in Narrative Evaluation

The establishment narrative following the Orlando murders is out and about:

We will not know all of the facts surrounding the unfathomable tragedy in Orlando for some time - perhaps, many days [false claim because establishments refuse to learn about cultures and behavioral genetics]. 

But one thing is certain: intolerance and hatred inevitably lead to violence and death [self contradiction]. 

That is why our primary response to the horrific massacre at the Pulse nightclub must be to rededicate ourselves to creating a culturally diverse society that is based on tolerance and respect for other religions, sexual orientations, races and life styles [false claim and self contradiction].

In America the one thing we must never tolerate is intolerance itself [false claim and self contradiction]... 

The shooter, Omar Mateen, sent messages indicating that it was his allegiance to ISIS that lead him to murder fifty of his fellow human beings. Whether he was motivated by ideological commitment or his own hatred of gays and lesbians, or both — that motivation can never trump the fundamental sense of human empathy that provides the foundational principle of a civilized society [false cause and false dichotomy]... 

And we dare not allow the forces of intolerance to exploit the Orlando mass shooting and throw gasoline on the fire of intolerance itself [self contradiction]... 

But let’s remember, that the data shows that in the United States itself you were more than 7 times as likely to be killed by a right wing extremist than a Muslim terrorist in the 13.5 years following 9/11 [ad hominem, false statistic, unrepresentative sampling, and failure to compare population sizes]. 

The New York Times reported that a study by UNC Professor Charles Kurzman and Duke Professor David Schanzer, showed that Islam-inspired terror attacks “accounted for 50 fatalities over the past 13 and a half years.” Meanwhile, “right-wing extremists averaged 337 attacks per year in the decade after 9/11, causing a total of 254 fatalities [ad hominem, false statistics, straw person, and unrepresentative sampling, Muslims in America are 60 times more likely to pursue terror plots than white, conservative, Americans--nonwhites and non-conservatives are far more likely to engage in terror than white conservatives].”

In point of fact, there is no fundamental difference between the murders by Islamic extremists, or white racists, or anti-abortion extremists [ad hominems and false claim]. They are all acts rooted in intolerance and bigotry and we must create a society that refuses to tolerate those acts - or the intolerance and bigotry that lead to them [false cause and self contradiction]. 

For much of the last year, many on nativist right - particularly Donald Trump - have spewed out hate-filled, intolerant rhetoric like a geyser [ad hominems and false analogy]... 

In particular, Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric legitimates the narrative that groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda use to recruit impressionable young people [self contradiction and false claim].

Make no mistake, both the murders and the establishment narratives are despicable stuff.

Establishments seldom let a crisis go to waste and neither should we.

White liberation and self-determination, now as much as ever. We are conscious, respect deserving beings, too.

Nuclear Energy: Pros and Cons

On the con side, the wrong type of political environmentalism now dominates, the type prone to knee-jerk, poorly reasoned actions, closing completed and uncompleted reactors, creating enormous costs. In other words, the same people bringing us militarism, financialism, and cultural Marxism.

Then we have non-working reactors in poor countries for blatant behavioral genetic reasons.

But Per joule of energy produced, coal is hundreds of times more deadly than nuclear energy. Due to radioactive elements in coal, one hundred times as much radiation enters our surroundings from a coal plant than from a nuclear plant.

Chernobyl is not the fault of the West. Western reactor designs were already far safer than Soviet designs, and the newest designs make meltdowns astronomically improbable.

But terrorism or earthquakes could strike a nuclear plant, then we would really be in trouble--but not if we build new nuclear plants in remote areas, away from earthquake zones. If attackers want to target remote nuclear plants, that is less worse than targeting packed public places.

Destroying a nuclear plant is not easy.

Most waste from nuclear plants results because we do not reprocess the waste into plutonium and reuse it. The alleged reason we do not reprocess waste is we do not want certain wonderful peoples stealing plutonium and making bombs. But plutonium is too hot for them to mess with.

If enemy nations want plutonium, they'll make their own. They don't even need uranium deposits or purchases of uranium from others to make nuclear weapons. They can make nuclear weapons from the uranium present in coal ash.

If we reprocess nuclear fuel and keep the Marxians, neoconservatives, and third wayers out of political power, the mean cost to produce nuclear energy is less than almost all other energy sources, not counting the massive pollution costs of coal. Heck, we would be better off using the nuclear energy in coal than the combustion energy in coal.

The mighty political forces of not-in-my-backyard is a political problem for nuclear energy but also for wind and solar too. But research suggests that citizens much more likely to agree with something in their vicinity if it is presented as a moral imperative.

Nuclear waste, even after reprocessing, is very dangerous for a long, long time. Yes, but paradoxically its danger makes us vigilant about containing and storing it properly. Compare that with other industries such as mining and fossil fuels, which spew millions of tons of hazardous waste into the environment.

Opposition often gets ridiculous. Years ago, I saw a proposal to fill the lands around nuclear waste sites with stone warning devices to scare future generations, so they will know that nuclear waste is near, thus, assuming future generations will be too inept to construct radiation counters, retrieve data on nuclear waste sites or even remember where nuclear sites are.

Wind and solar show promise, but on many days the sun and wind vanish. We use coal and natural gas plants as backups. The hottest days of the year are the least windy, the days when electrical energy usage spikes. Wind and solar require enormous amounts of metals and plastics which cause their own environment problems. Storage methods for wind and solar are nowhere near cost effective.

What about wave nuclear fusion and other newcomers? God bless us if they arrive. But we cannot base policy on technologies that, for now, have a too low of an expected value.

Friday Thoughts

Why are neoconservatives so eager to tick off Putin?

Neoconservatives support worse dictatorships, including many Islamic states.

Who benefits from this? Neoconservatives have little leverage in Russia, but Russia has the ability to inflict severe pain on the the West and Israel. Russia is still the greatest nuclear power.

**********

A helpful heuristic when reading the mass media: assume their economic main conclusions are almost always wrong because they are almost always wrong in the direction of supporting rent seeking, usually Randism, neoconservatism, and third wayism, but also often in the direction of economic Marxism.

Assume their other issue main conclusions are also almost always wrong because they are wrong, often because of rent seeking and cultural Marxism. Thus, mass media treat global warming as far more important than deforestation and nonwhite overpopulation due to the malign influence of cultural Marxism and habitat destroying industries in environmental movements.

More Uses and Abuses of Rhetoric

One problem for ethnoracial fact facers is the use of inaccurate euphemisms, sometimes borrowed from multiculturalism: egalitarianism, moral universalism, pathological altruism, and other terms.

When apt, we should prefer moral language over medical or psychological language. Pathological altruism should be called misplaced altruism or unethical altruism or destructive altruism.

Moral universalism should be called immoral universalism or anti-white parochialism.

The semi-euphemistic s*cial justice warrior should be replaced with AMB (anti-white mega bigotry) or something similar.

On the plus side, the euphemisms immigration and replacement are now regularly being replaced with the more accurate dysphemism invasion.

Our political opponents, who control nearly all the mass media, use inaccurate super slurs without apparent feelings of guilt: N*zi, b*got, r*cist, f*scist, sh*tlord, n*tivist, r*dneck, Islamophobe, is*lationist, white tr*sh, and white s*premacist.

Some cruder blogs on the alternative right use co*n, k*ke, and other ethnoracial super slurs. This has unintended consequences. Such blogs scare away potential converts. The mass media ban or fire critics of establishments both because because the mass media support anti-white totalitarianism and because crude criticism scares away profitable customers.

Humans have been indoctrinated by establishment institutions to be offended by nonwhite slurs but be blissfully unaware of the ad hominem nature of slurs directed at whites. It is not fair, but that's our situation. Thus, we have multiculturalists, who have spewed thousands of irrelevant ad hominem attacks, making the breathtaking claim they don't use ad hominem attacks or pretending to be civil or moderate or fair minded.

Keep pointing out contradictions. So many exist, especially multiculturalists falsely accusing other beliefs of defects multiculturalism wallows in.

Attack the imagined strengths on multiculturalism: "You think that's moral universalism? No, it's egoism mixed with xenocentrism. You guys demand that nonwealthy whites sacrifice their jobs, lives, schools, countries, freedoms, families, and neighborhoods to vibrant diversity while you guys engage in profiteering and sacrifice almost nothing."

Prefer more accurate words and phrases rather than euphemisms while avoiding ethnoracial slurs.

Keep pointing out how naive whites are about how much unwarranted hatred is felt toward whites, thanks to the onslaught of biocultural totalitarianism.

Keep mentioning that multiracial societies have become long-term disasters 100 percent of the time. Keep pushing secessions and invasion bans. Keep reminding them that bad behavior by multiculturalists rises exponentially as their numbers increase: "You think living in Detroit sucks. You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait till the likes of Ibrahim Hooper become presidents and prime ministers." One hundred percent of majority Muslim countries are totalitarian. The same goes for majority black countries.

When articles praise the projected brown and black majority rule over us, point out that that turned out to be a good thing nowhere on earth in the past.

The word nationalist should be avoided simply because it has negative connotations for most Westerners, though nationalists saved the world from Nazism, Maoism, Stalinism, Trotskyism, and economic Marxism. Most individuals don't realize that by the 1970s most of the planet was ruled by economic or cultural Marxism or both. White liberation or pan-whitism or self-determination universalism should be used instead.

Ask economists to provide thorough, well-reasoned arguments on exactly how low IQ, low skill, low productivity, low conscientiousness, high fertility, high totalitarianism, and high free riding brown and black migration is a good alternative, not some BS model full of preposterous assumptions (masses of older whites will retrain for better jobs, everybody is the same deep inside, humans are massively malleable in good directions, nonwhites won't use more political power over whites for nihilism, genocide, and rent seeking). How come these wonderful migrants didn't make their own countries wonderful?

Keep telling the truth. It's one of the few things on the nonmulticultural side.

To Get a Gig in Mass Media Opinion Making:

1. Support some establishment. Even calling the Saudi establishment "ally" and "moderate," makes you eligible. Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer Prize for fawning over the Soviet establishment. 
2. Feign support for general interests.
3. Be narrative based, devoted to official myths, not evidence based. You must have enough rhetorical chops to keep ordinary readers from noticing your contradictions. You must be able to say you support the establishment's buzzwords and catch phrases without puking or diabolically cackling. You never apologize for having been wrong on thousands of specific issues. You focus on the few issues you are semi-right about while ignoring or relying on arbitrary rules for other issues.

To Young Adults Thinking About Joining Militaries

Graduation season is here. Military recruiters are in high gear but before you join remember a few ideas.

You grew up in a world of political fallacies. It wasn't your fault. But it is your fault if you don't take control of your life now. The consequences of decisions you make after graduation will reverberate for the rest of your life.

All the establishments around the world do not tell the truth. Few establishment individuals care about your well-being. If you are lucky, your establishments merely devote themselves to parasitism. If you are unlucky, as in the West, your establishments devote themselves to treason plus parasitism.

Military recruiters tell fallacies at rates rivaling politicians. Multitudes of service personnel wish they could legally maim their ex-recruiters. Public schools teach gullibility to whites. But gullibility gets severely punished in the adult world.

(Many anti-establishment ideologies also fail to tell the truth. Finding evidence and accurately weighing that evidence is difficult.)

Every media depiction of war is to some extent cartoonish. Even the most realistic movie cannot simulate war. If movies did so, audiences would exit theatres with dead relatives and serious, chronic illnesses. Most audiences cannot imagine what real war is like.

And most audiences cannot imagine what serious, chronic illnesses are like.

Establishments inculcate beliefs that if enemies act evil, then the establishments must be good. But most shooting wars among contemporary states are battles of establishment evils versus other evils. The psychological temptation to pick sides in unjust wars is great, so your will must be greater.

Maybe you plan to join a military to fight entrenched moral and financial corruption within the military. Maybe you want to learn survival skills. Maybe you want to fight cultural Marxism within militaries. Good for you. But remember, militaries are highly skilled at direct and corrosive indoctrinations. Many a corruption fighter has found himself corrupted with Potomac fever or other immoral fevers several years down the road. Contemporary militaries promote conformity, networking, and vapid, vicious "command presence."

If bravado fills you and you think you can accomplish something by killing bad guys in third world countries, remember that most adults in those countries practice cultural Marxism or worse. Someone similar will replace them. And they add over 50 million adults per year. Getting yourself killed or wounded does more harm to yourself and the West than to bad guys.

The occupation rulers of China, Russia, and the West all practice variants of egoism, militarism, and cultural Marxism. Do you have so little respect for your individual worth that you are willing to die for any form of egoism, militarism, and cultural Marxism?

Some wars should be fought. But most of today's just wars require the hard work of non-violent actions against demographic and ideological conquest, fighting for ethnoracial self-determination.
