Re: Goodness
Start with Epicurus, who said something like "good is that which causes the most happiness for the greatest number". That's not Epicurus, it's Jeremy Bentham. Epicurianism, while hedonistic, is much more like Buddhism with all that stuff about avoiding anxiety caused by wanting things, an...

Re: Nicholas J Fuentes Phenomenon
And here the notion of The Great Replacement has come up in the Occident as 1) an issue of concern and 2) a fact of the transformation of the cultures of the Occident. This eloquently and interesting exposition by R. Camus is worthy of consideration. I find that he makes many coherent points. And I...

All of these derive from coherent systems of thought : Liberalism, Conservatism, Socialism and Social Democracy, Marxism and Communism, Anarchism, Nationalism, Fascism, Feminism, Ecologism, Islamic Fundamentalism — (and the synthetic transformative philosophy of Alexis Jacobism)… … and all of them ...

Re: Goodness
Next time I get asked this I want a legitimate answer. You've already given up on that then? You just want to assemble a convenient list of things you don't like forever until you run out of stuff that makes you feel a bit squidgy, and then you never had to address the issue of "what is good&q...

Re: Nicholas J Fuentes Phenomenon
I think that you will get a strong sense from this speech by Jonathan Bowden that gives a very good sense of what cultural Marxism means to him and those who think like him. Jonathan Bowden was a senior member of the Neo-Nazi British National Party. People who think like him are.... well .... you k...

Re: US and Israel attack Iran
1) Vance has been put in charge of the surrender negotiations precisely so that he can be blamed for the resulting agreement, if there is one. So my first prediction is that Trump will blame Vance for the outcome, but will do so obliquely. 1a) A corollary of (1): Rubio will expend a lot of hot air ...

Re: A Failure of Democracy
There are usually rules for what counts as a good enough excuse to go to war, as well as what counts as civilised conduct of said war. no case has been presented at all for the former, which is highly unusual in any functioning democracy. My honest view is that at the most basic level the establish...
