171230 VLOG {Video & script]

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

I recently read an interesting article titled

• The Theosophical Imagination by Wouter Hanegraaff, a scholar of the occult. When I say scholar, I mean he is a professor focusing on the topic, not some hack with a degree writing his personal paradigm. He is a professor of History of Hermetic Philosophy and related currents at the University of Amsterdam.
• This led to the need to read two other works:
• Manual of psychometry : the dawn of a new civilization by Joseph R. Buchanan
• The Soul of Things, Or, Psychometric Researches and Discoveries by William Denton and Elizabeth M. Foote Denton

I will admit I laughed at the Antifa getting hit by a truck. I did watch carefully to make sure it wasn’t my oldest child.

• Sadly, he seems to have fallen for the antifa bull

I meant to comment earlier, but I couldn’t work up a whole video on the topic. You may recall that a while ago a call went out in the occult community for a magic spell to be cast to inhibit Donald Trump. It was a crappily crafted spell, which I recall pointing out to the person who posted it to Medium. Further, they didn’t seem to realize that it was pure black magic. Black as in Evil. This is by the common definition, not the more nuanced and rarefied Thelemic context, but in the garden-variety white light and fuzzy bunny neopagan sense.

• Black magick (in the colloquial sense) is coercive magick, that which robs the person of volition or will.
• The NY Times has an article on the (apparent) resurgence of witchcraft, which discusses how the person featured held three sessions to hex Trump.
• Sadly, it is also reflective of the degradation that spirituality is undergoing whereby it is suborned to the political.
• Essentially, it is an opiate for the powerless to feel like they have power
• They adopt the atheistic worldview, so they view the political as the spiritual
• They don’t clearly articulate the goals so they can redefine the criteria for success
• They cast a spell for his destruction and count something like Moore’s defeat as a victory
• Stupid amateurs
• There is a similar problem with conflating Psychology and Spirituality
• Once a Democrat is back in power, the majority of new adherents to the occult will flitter away

I should probably mention my online presence.

• I am not on Facebook. I deleted my account a year ago and have found myself happier and with more free time to accomplish my goals.
• I am on Twitter, but I don’t follow it much. I do get emails when I am mentioned et al.
• I am on Gab. I check it more than Twitter, but not much more.
• I have a Minds profile, which I check in the morning before work and in the evening after work.
• I post transcripts for my videos and some other content at Blogspot
• Both Blogspot and Google+ are tied to my YouTube.
• I have accounts on SoundCloud and DeviantArt, but those are just to follow artists I like.

Openshot is working wonderfully for me.

• I actually enjoy making the videos.
• Things that frustrated me in other software are very easy.
• You may have noticed some softening of edges and the inclusion of samples from other videos.
• Most of the last Music video was my making sure that the text stills giving information on Lilith were present long enough to be read
• If they still flash by too quickly, let me know.
• Slicing scenes, adjusting timing and the like are incredibly easy.
• There are still some things I need to figure out, but working full-time and being a single father, I am rather pleased with my progress.

Buzzfeed put out an article on de Benoist. It is slanted as hell, but I so seldom see articles on him that I still want everyone to read it.

I really enjoyed TL;DR’s video on the Great Mouse Utopia. I was pointed to it by Crocoduck.

• While one should avoid the trap of confirmation bias and read too many parallels between the experiment and human society
• I was struck with the parallels between Modern Western Society and the Great Mouse Utiopia
• While the damaging effects of Utopia have been examined (albeit superficially) in various films, it is really brought home how the necessity for a fulfilling life necessitates some form of overcoming.
• The increasing alienation, unhappiness, narcissism, and violence we see in our society seems to be a reflection of the behavior seen in the Great Mouse Utopia
• Plus, as with the term “Monkeysphere”, I just like saying “Great Mouse Utopia”.
• I was also reminded of Fear’s song “Let’s Have a War”

I was going to make another video using Oingo Boingo’s “Violent Love” and a montage of angry feminists, but

• I’ve already used an Oingo Boingo song recently,
• And an Image search for “Angry Feminist” pulled up an inordinate amount of images of “Big Red”, and I felt it would slide from humor to bullying
• Plus, I really have no sexual desire for any of these women, so I didn’t want to get their hopes up… 

My next video, probably tomorrow, will be “What is Religion?”

Antifa, it's ok to admit you don't know [Video Script]

— Initial Clip [Antifa doesn’t recognize flag]

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

Antifa, I say this in all seriousness. It’s OK to just admit you don’t know something. Also, just because you don’t recognize something does not mean that it is automatically fascist, white supremacist, or nazi. Now, I admit that your perception of everything outside of what your finite mind knows as being white supremacist is indicative. However, I am not a psychotherapist.

When I first watched the news clip, that statement just struck me as wrong. Blue is not a common color for Nazis or White Supremacists. A quick Google search for “White Flag, blue square, red cross” brought up the proper entry.

—Image [Wikipedia]

Now some might claim that a religion founded by a Jew and of which the majority of adherents worldwide are not ethnically European (or Caucasian, or “white”) is inherently white supremacist, but that is just too stupid to be taken seriously.

Now I lived in Portland, Oregon for many years. Hawthorne Bridge is a rather busy thoroughfare and you aren’t supposed to cross it like that. Hell, cars aren’t even supposed to change lanes at that point. So, on the topic of stupidity…

— Second Clip [Hit by truck]

I may have mentioned, but I was a anarcho-punk in the 80s. Many things about antifa confuses me and makes me think that they are candy-assed wusses. We confronted Christians, Hicks, and Republicans all the time. However, we didn’t pretend otherwise. We hated Christians, so we harassed them. Likewise with the other groups. When the police came, we didn’t try to pretend that our virtue made us immune to the consequences. Their opposition merely confirmed our view that the system was corrupt.  They claim the system is corrupt (as it doesn’t conform to their worldview), but they act as if it isn’t. By their actions, they indicate that they know, subconsciously, that their words are a lie. I’ll try and work up a video on the difference between professed and actual values.

VLOG (171223) - OpenShot, Audacity, Toxic Masculinity [Script]

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

Welcome to my first standalone video blog. I used to embed these into my content, but I think that Zarathrustra’s Serpent made a good point about keeping the video focused on the topic. I’ll try and keep all of these disparate elements separate and post them in a semi-regular video blog post. So…

• I have switched my video editing software. I Was using Lightworks, which is an undeniably powerful program, but I found it less than intuitive.
• I work full time and am a single parent, I don’t have time to fight with the software.
• I am now using Openshot. It has the added benefit of being an open-source project
• While I use Windows 10, I am also a fan of Linux (Currently running the latest Ubuntu)
• Stallman was one of the few Commies who did good, imo.
• You may have noticed the prior video was very simple as I am still learning the software
• This one will probably be simple as well, but I hope to gradually add elements and complexity
• For the first time, as I was putting together the video from its pieces, I did not feel frustrated and at war with my video editor.
• Now my main concern is learning how to use Audacity
• I’ve watched some tutorials and I think the sound is better now.
• The sequence of steps involves abusing the hell out of the effects menu.
• Get the noise profile off of the first few seconds of silence & apply it to the whole clip
• Run the compressor effect. I use a setting of -12, though you may need to set it higher or lower.
• From the Equalizer, give it a bass boost, then a treble boost.
• I found it necessary to redo the noise reduction at this point.
• Set a limiter, settings of hard limiter from -2 to -5. I use -2.
• Finally run normalize.
• Let me know if it sounds better. My last video was done with this sequence.
• It makes me think of make-up, a lot of work for that natural feel.
• On the reading front, I took a break with some mind candy.
• I am currently reading Barb Hendee’s Mist-Torn series, but I am kind of stuck on the third book.
• I also plan on re-reading Liber ABA part I (the yoga and meditation portion of Magick)

For some reason, I’ve been seeing a lot of videos on Toxic Masculinity

• A Common theme has been the ideal of men repressing their emotions.
• This is in error. Men who show no emotions are not respected. They are actually feared as being broken.
• Men are expected to be in control of their emotions, to not let their emotions get the better of them.
• The reasons for this are many, but the primary beneficiary of this is women.
• Men control their emotions so they can provide support for women.
• The classic and stereotypical image of the hero holding & supporting the sobbing heroine captures this
• Being stoic allows the woman to reach catharsis by getting it out of their system.

I’ve started watching both Tim Pool and Styxhexenhammer666

• I’ve found that I don’t really like “cringe”
• Most of the reaction videos are little better than “You’re dumb (hehehe)”, so I don’t enjoy most of those.
• Tim Pool tends to be more topical than I normally like, but he does it well and the videos tend to clock in at around 15m
• Styxhexenhammer666 seems to have a focus similar to my channel’s, but he is way more prolific. He also seems to have let the Socio-political and Topical content dominate over the occulture. We will see.

A seasonal prayer and ancient drama

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

About a decade and a half ago, I got into a spot of trouble for a seasonal prayer. I had posted it to a Thelemic Community Forum under a title like “Sol Invictus Benediction”. This being the solstice, I thought I would share it with you.

First we begin with the 

Dedication
For The Fatherland, cradle of civilization.
For the ancestors and their indomitable spirit
For the elders from whom we can learn much.
For our youth who represent the promise for tomorrow.
For our people, the original people.
For our struggle and in remembrance of those who have struggled on our behalf.
For Gott the principle of unity which should guide us in all that we do.
For the creator who provides all things great and small.

An Aside: “Gott” is German for “God” and has been chosen to symbolize the principle of striving for & maintaining unity in the family, community, nation, and race.

To this we add:

The Seven Principles:

1. Unity - to strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation and race.
2. Self-Determination - to define ourselves, name ourselves, create ourselves, and speak for ourselves.
3. Collective Work and Responsibility - to build and maintain our community together and make fellow European-American's problems our problems and to solve them together.
4. Cooperative Economics - to build and maintain European-American stores, shops and other businesses together.
5. Purpose - to make our collective vocation the building of our European-American community to restore our traditional greatness.
6. Creativity - making the world around us clean and beautiful and better than we inherited it.
7. Faith - to believe in ourselves, our family, our communities and our leaders and to believe the righteousness and victory of our struggle.

Now, before telling you the inspiration for this little piece, I will share what I recall of the drama.

I wrote it up and shared it to a Thelemic Community Forum. Initial reaction was slightly positive, with one girl saying how great it was. Then someone questioned some of the word choices. Then it was branded as racist. The girl who had waxed poetic quickly back-pedaled and condemned it.

This condemnation did not change when I revealed that it was the Kwanzaa dedication and their seven principles with only three changes.

1. I changed the word Motherland to Fatherland
2. I replaced the phrase “African-American” with “European-American”, and
3. I changed the African word “Umoja” to “Gott” while defining it in exactly the same way.

In fairness, the version I found at 123holiday.net does not use any racial language. Though the phrases can still be read in such a manner.

To be honest, I knew that I would get this reaction. Racist behavior is only deemed racist if a white person is doing it. Innocuous behavior is viewed as being racist if a white person does it.

When I first started publishing this kind of thing, I would take Christian screeds against pagans and invert the language. Mostly reversing the two phrases. The key was to keep as much intact as possible. The goal was to show hypocrisy. These works were applauded. Showing the “others” hypocrisy is always applauded. However, when I broadened the scope to include other sacred cows, the applause slowed. When I hit their sacred cows, they got out the pitchforks.

As it is said in Ecclesiastes 1:9 “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”

May the Blessings of Gott be upon you this Season.

And remember, if you're at a social function and a benediction is said and the God invoked is not your own, it's a good idea to mutter, roll your eyes, and smirk, so your God will know that you're not taken in by some false God.

SJWs, Alt-Right, & Priorities [Video Script]

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

This video will compare and contrast the “alt-Left” and the “alt-Right” from a practical viewpoint.

By alt-left, I am lumping (perhaps unfairly) the SJWs, Anti-fa, and similar radical, leftists groups with communistic or neo-Marxist ideologies.

By alt-right, I am referring to the loose coalition of white nationalists, white supremacists, white separatists, neo-nazis, and similar groups.

I apologize for the delay. I had one script that I just didn’t feel was any good once I completed it, then I had a couple of bouts of illness. Then I kept revising this as new things popped onto my radar. Then I realized that it would never end. Then, but really these excuses are all somewhat lame. I will try to do better in the future.

VLOG

I am currently re-reading The Equinox.

• I  finished Volume I, issues 1 and 2.
• I admit to skipping the stuff on drugs, the fiction, and to glossing over the poetry.
• While I enjoy the poetry, I’ve read most of it several times already.
• Even though I have read the Libers multiple times, I am not glossing over those.
• Everyone should reread these periodically.

I am also preparing to systematically read the Complete Works of Plato.

• I’ve read some works, but in a more disjointed manner
• The Cooper edition was highly regarded, so I grabbed it.
• I plan on doing the same with Aristotle once I finish Plato.

I also grabbed the enhanced edition of Neverwinter Nights and spent most of Saturday playing it.

• However, it was a beta and I broke it, there is much sadness.

SJWs. the Alt-Right & Setting Priorities

For the sake of convenience, let’s create a continuum with the extremes on each side.

Again, for the sake of convenience, we will label one “alt-right” and lump into it the alt-right, fascists, white nationalists, nazis, etc.

On the other end we will put the label “alt-left” and place anti-fa, other ethnic nationalists, marxists such as BAMN, etc.

Let us fill the continuum with the fellow travelers, those sympathetic to each pole, but who refrain from overt activism.

I should point out that the activism doesn’t have to be violent, after all, most of the alt-righter’s do not descend to the violence of Nazi Skinheads or some such.

Where should you put yourself on the continuum?

Before answering that, I should present my own position. I get called a nazi by leftists and a commie by the right. To paraphrase the good Baron,

“In as much as the alt-right agrees with my position, I am, only to that degree, alt-right”.

Conversely, “In as much as the alt-left agrees with my position, I am, only to that degree, alt-left”.

My third son introduced me to a nice post-apocalyptic series by S.M.Stirling called “The Change”. I won’t give you a rundown of the series (link below), but an oft repeated refrain in the series is that “When a person comes to your land with a weapon & tries to inflict harm, they should not be surprised to lose their own life”.

In gauging the relative risks posed by each group, we need to consider both size and traction. While it seems to be true that the “right” is gaining in strength, it is also a fact that the “left” has dominated the Western world since the end of World War II, gaining a virtual hegemony in the 60s-70s. For a half century or more, the center has been steadily moving left. Antifa protests in the US gather numbers that seem to be in the hundreds, if not the thousands. The only numbers I can find for the alt-right indicates that they seem to be numbered in the tens, with Charlottesville actually gathering a couple hundred. If anyone has better numbers, please let me know.

So size-wise, it seems that the “alt-left” is far more numerous than the “alt-right”. What about traction? Whose ideas are presented sympathetically? Whose acts of violence are ignored or downplayed, and whose are fabricated or exaggerated? How does the media, or society in general, assuming there is a practical difference, present ten or so people of various ethnic heritages standing in a pagoda and calling for “Freedom of Speech”? How does it present the hundreds of black clad antifa and their fellow travelers surrounding them and trying to drown them out? I think it safe to say that, by any objective measure, the “alt-left” has far more traction in the US, and likely in Western Europe as well.

Now, for the sake of this argument let us just assume that both are violent and seek to rid the world of those who oppose them. The alt-left’s statement that “Liberals get the bullet, too” and the older neo-nazi slogan of “When you are swinging from a rope it doesn’t matter if you swing to the left or the right” convey the same attitude of ideological purity and democide.

Ask yourself which is the more immediate threat, the murderer in your house or the lynch mob on the other side of town? Modern society seems to have a real problem with false equivalence and prioritizing. It seems obvious to me that one must first deal with the murderer attempting to kill you who is right before you, rather than ignoring them because there is a lynch mob on the other side of town. Once threat ‘A’ is dealt with, you can deal with threat ‘B’.

Being as I subscribe to neither of the ideological positions typified by these poles of “alt-left” and “alt-right”, it would be safe to assume that I am on the “list” for both groups, when & if they are able to pursue democide in their crusade for ideological purity.

I would then have to ask, which list would I be on, the first list or the second list. If I were in a room with an antifa and a neo-nazi and they were aware of my lack of support for their cause, which would be more likely to kill me? Which one views me and my children as an affront to their cause? Given that the assault rate on bystanders for the alt-left is far higher than that of the alt-right, it is safe to assume that I am in more danger from the alt-left than the alt-right. 

Admittedly, I am not a black man with a white girlfriend, so each must make this decision for themselves. Just make sure that what you give up, what you sacrifice, is worth what you receive.

"The Idea and only the Idea can be the true Fatherland for them. Not the fact that they are of the same nationality, that they speak the same language, and that they are of the same blood, but the fact that they belong to the same idea, should be the deciding factor that unites or divides them." - Julius Evola

And wouldn’t you know, the NY Times just released an articles glorifying anti-fa. Amusing.

Another YouTuber, Matt Christiansen, released an interesting video on this topic, “Antifa Professor” Speaks at Berkeley, But Why Didn’t the Fascists Shut Him Down?

Thank you for listening to my thoughts on this matter. I should clarify that I am not calling for anyone to support either the alt-left or alt-right. This is meant as an aid to prioritize which group to oppose. As a Thelemite, I oppose all forms of collectivism, and, yes, I am aware of the irony of using a collective label for an individualistic system.

Evidently, one should exhort the listener to like and subscribe. I am bad at this, since I think it is self evident. So, if you liked this video, or any of my other videos, please click on the like button (which I assume does something besides giving me the warm fuzzies) and subscribe so you know when I post new content.

Free Speech, Charlottesville, Antifa, Trump (+ Update) (Grab Bag #2) [Video Script]

DWTWSBTWOTL
Well, it looks like the planned video is taking longer than I thought.

• It is a look at ethics and rights within the Thelemic system
• It will focus on OZ, Libræ, and Duty
• I may need to break it up into multiple parts.

This is a little semi-ranty video on

• Free Speech
• Charlottesville
• Trump’s speech on Charlottesville
• I also pour some hate on antifa

First an update

• The actual Navy stuff I am in Japan to do will be starting tomorrow.
• This will undoubtedly impact my free time.
• Yesterday, Saturday, I went to Yokohama to try and find some CDs
  • Musashi (六三四): Japanese progressive/folk metal band
  • Fushitsusha (不失者): Experimental Japanese rock band
  • Zeni Geva (ゼニゲバ): prog-rock, hardcore, heavy metal and noise-rock
  • Yōsei Teikoku (妖精帝國): Heavy/Goth/Symphonic Metal + EBM, darkwave, neoclassical, ethereal + Goth
• Finding a CD for my son, who wanted something called “Bump of Chicken” was pretty straight forward.
• Three separate shops and I only found the Yōsei Teikoku
  • However, I did find an interesting CD with the Crass logo on it. Guso Drop (偶想Drop)
  • I snagged it because I wanted to see what they were doing to my precious childhood memories.
  • I also found a first pressing CD of Current 93’s Dawn. I wonder if it has the original version of Great Black Time.
  • The original made extensive use of a sample from Barry McGuire’s Eve of Destruction.
  • This was removed in subsequent releases, I assume for copyright reasons.
  • Then there are two Japanese psychedelic rock albums: Acid Mother’s Temple & Subvert Blaze
  • Finally, a Japanese Metal Album (it was under Death Metal): Onmyo-za (陰陽座)
• While looking up the links for these artists, I discovered that Zeni Geva has a Bandcamp. Of course it only has one album on it.
• Also, I’ve changed my Ending song. Despite it being “Free Music” under the Creative Commons, it kept getting flagged.
  • Sometimes they would release the claim after I submitted the proof, but sometimes not.
  • I am way to lazy to repeat the same actions over and over.
  • So, While I liked Ami Deng’s “A Strange Community”, I am tired of dealing with the hassle of using it.

Anyway, now that I’ve established my music nerd bonafides, Let us move on.
There has been a lot of talk about what is and what isn’t free speech.

• This is bullshit.
• People trying to limit anyone else’s ability to speak is against free speech.
• Those who say we should not tolerate intolerance are stupid.
• You are being intolerant. You aren’t protecting society, you are just a coward.
• The people censoring Nazis are less than Nazis.
• They are hypocrites afraid to admit their own little authoritarian urges
• The little black Hitlers and Stalins infesting their hearts.

This is one of the few absolutes. Either you support free speech, no matter what is being said, or you do not. There is no middle ground.
That being said, I am already tired of Charlottesville.
However, one of the interesting tidbits was how one of the antifa (or whatever) protesters described the accident

• He specifically stated that the car slowed down than accelerated into the crowd.
• Then there are the reports after the guy’s initial capture about it possibly not having been on purpose.
• Add to this the reports, with suggestive video evidence, that the guys car had been hit with a bat.
  • Suggestive because the actual strike is not shown. The camera dips right before the cracking sound.
• This would support a narrative that the guy slowed down for the protesters
  • Then his car was hit by antifa and he freaked trying to escape.
  • This reaction on his part makes sense given the events of the day and the history of antifa
• Not that I am saying that this is what happened, but it is important to keep an open mind.

This is where I put in the obligatory “I am not a racist” disclaimer.

• Trust me. I view racism as pure laziness. If I hate you, it is because of you, not your race, sex, or gender.
• I agree with Evola’s distaste for concepts of racial purity. An arbitrary line was drawn and all mixing after that point is deemed “bad”. That is just dumb
• I also agree with Evola’s concept that the idea is the true Fatherland. Those who share in the idea are the citizens of my state.
  • Trust me, most white people don’t make it either.

I am also going to point out that Antifa (and their related ilk) are some of the worst examples of troglodytes masquerading as humans on this planet.

• They are worthless for anything but bashing heads
• Even then, they have a distressing tendency to bash the wrong heads
• They are the Marxist Lumpen-proletariat: 
  • identifies the class of outcast, degenerated and submerged elements that make up a section of the population of industrial centers" which include "beggars, prostitutes, gangsters, racketeers, swindlers, petty criminals, tramps, chronic unemployed or unemployables, persons who have been cast out by industry, and all sorts of declassed, degraded or degenerated elements."
• Stalin eventually had to purge them because they were too worthless for the communist society they thought they wanted
  • Not being suitable for work, they could not contribute to the state
  • Being prone to degeneracy and violence, they were a disruption to an ordered society
  • One of the few things I agree with Communism about is that the antifa need to be rounded up and shot.

Anyway, I want to say that I was truly shocked by Trump’s clear and nuanced speech regarding the violence. While it was amusing to hear “alt-Left” rather than Antifa, I do suppose it is more inclusive.
Also, the article criticizing the use of the term “Alt-Left” is bullshit. The ADL guy says it is inorganic, then goes on to specify its organic use and development.
Are people really so stupid that they cannot see this for what it is: obfuscation, lies, and propaganda?
So yeah, I hope this can tide you over until I finish working on the Thelemic Rights and Ethics script.

• Free Speech, you either support it or you don’t
• Don’t pretend you are censoring others to preserve our freedoms.
• You aren’t.
• Antifa are, and always have been, worthless cowards.
• It is almost worth having Communism imposed just so these (so-called) “people” would be rounded up and shot.

On Hate Speech (Video & Script)

DWTWSBTWOTL

Update:

• This is probably the last video I will put up before I fly to Japan
• Two Channels I have been enjoying lately are:
• Dr Layman
• Zarathrustra’s Serpent
• The two of them have managed to cover various topics I was planning on taking on
• They have also done it as well, or better, than I would have.
• I am not saying I agree with all of their positions, but if I only interacted with those who agreed with me on everything,
• I would never grow
• And I would be very, very lonely… 

[Orwell.Hate Truthspeakers]
There is a trend, pushed by authoritarians, mostly from the left (currently anyway) to "deplatform" Hate Speech.

[Clip: Gate Rory : Are you stupid]

The steps to winning any battle are: [Yukio Mishima]
1) Know yourself
2) Know your Enemy

Why would you not want people with opposing viewpoints to freely express themselves?[Massey. Authority as Truth-Truth as Authority]

I want to know who my enemies are

I want to know who I can trust to have my back and who will step away (or worse thrust a dagger into my back)

The Regressive Left seems to feel that if they deplatform these people, their opinions will go away [Consensus = Bliss.jpg]

• This is so incredibly stupid that I barely know where to start.
• Obviously, if unchallenged the ideas will never change.
• Further, you cannot challenge their ideas if you do not know what they are
• The best you can do is straw man their arguments, which will never convince anyone
• The phrase “Preaching to the Choir” comes to mind
• The main way in which we can change or mold opinions is through Dialectic [McDonalds vs Sanders]
• I am not an expert on Hegel or Marx, so I will  explain what I mean by the term
• You have two ideas that are in opposition (either to a lesser or greater degree)
• These ideas meet in the glory of battle
• The Stronger idea will win
• Now I admit to some assumptions [Truth vs Lies.jpg]
• First is that ideas closer to Truth (ie, the actual nature of reality) are stronger than ideas in opposition to the truth.
• This can be expressed via the biblical parable of the house built on sand (Matthew 7:24-27)
•  Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. (KJV)
• The idea is that things in accordance with the fundamental nature of reality are “built upon a rock”. 
• My Second assumption is that both parties have similar logical and emotive capabilities. [If Someone doesn't Value Evidence]
• This one is actually harder for me to justify, but I hold that in aggregate, the groups should be roughly similar in their capability to use logic (whether they elect to do so or not)
• And that emotive arguments will be equally impassioned by each sides commitment to their ideals.
• The flaw in this is that the person holding the lesser truth is either missing facts or is not utilizing logic.
• In that case, their position deserves to die
• Anyway, If we accept these two premises, then it should be obvious that the dialectic process will move us closer to the truth

We should also point out that “deplatforming” will not stop them from spreading their ideas. [Orwell - Political Speech]

• Sure, it will allow you to indoctrinate those who feel security in adhering to what appears to be the dominant (or only) narrative
• However, you will cloak the alternative opinion in the aura of mystery, making it counter-cultural and rebellious
• Watson is right when he says “Conservatism is the NEW Counter-Culture”
• And, since they are deplatformed, there are no coherent arguments against what they are actually preaching.

So, we have to ask, why do some people try to deplatform other people? [O Sensei - Wise win before fighting]

• One reason could be the realization (if even on a subconscious level) of the divorce between their idea and reality
• They realize that they do not have any facts to support their position and do not wish to risk having their emotive arguments undermined
• This cognitive dissonance between what they believe and what reality is telling them is painful so they seek to avoid it.
• Whenever the Regressive Left tells you they are offended or that your words are violence, this is what they are referring to
• Ludovici, in his book The Child: An Adult’s Problem, discusses this as the conflict between the Pleasure Principle and the Principle of Reality.
• Essentially, their behavior is just a childish tantrum.
• Another reason could a general contempt for all other beings. [Hitler. People Don't think]
• The regressive left seems to feel that other people are generally incapable of thought
• They feel that they know the truth and that other people are just to primitive to grasp it
• Further, they feel that the opposing ideas are just to seductive
• They tell people that they are special and deserve to “oppress” other people.
• And that other people will fail to critically examine these ideas and be swayed to their service.
• Simply put, this is all projection on their part.
• In a rare bout of subconscious self-reflection, they realize that they are like this
• Since they feel they are more enlightened, they assume everyone else has their flaws but to a greater degree.

As you can see, the desire to deplatform of censor opposing opinions comes from feelings of Fear and Weakness [I am Friedrich Nietzsche und I approve of this message]

• If you disagree, please feel free to comment with logical alternative possibilities.
• The feelings of Fear and Weakness derive from the feelings of ressentiment (ala Nietzsche & Kierkegaard)
• People who believe they are right have no reason to fear opposing viewpoints
• Now some attempt to argue that the arguments have been made before and “resolved”
• This is funny to me
• Isn’t it a tenet of modern thought that we should re-examine and critique pre-existing convictions?
• They show their religious roots with their belief that it is good butcher everyone’s sacred cows but their own.

So, to all those who wish to censor,

[Rory Clip]

Yes, Rory, I think they are. Heaven help us all.

To sum up: [Voltaire. Who Rules - don't crit]

• Censorship, or “deplatforming”, is an ultimately self-defeating strategy
• It manifests the herd morality’s predilection for ressentiment
• This can be seen in its reactions based on fear and weakness
• It is also a way to hide from uncertainty & doubt by eliminating the cognitive dissonance which spurs us forward
• It is stagnating since new forms cannot arise from the process of dialectic
• Dialectic is the process of annihilating two opposing ideas to see a new idea arise
• An idea which is closer to the truth

As I have mentioned, I am about to fly off to Japan. [if i agreed with you]

• It is unlikely I will be able to post another video before I leave.
• My next planned video is on “Reality”
• You may have noticed that I referred to it repeatedly in this video
• Perhaps it would be a good idea to let you know what I mean by the term.

Truth is found in the rubble of falsehood.

Analysis: To the Cis Person angrily sharing news of the Trump transgender military ban

Display “Fair Use” Screen

DWTWSBTWOTL

I have several streams of information.

• Many are news from various political perspectives
• Another is Medium, which is basically an unfiltered op-ed site.

For some reason, Medium decided that I would be interested in an article titled [IMG 1]

• To the cis person angrily sharing news of the Trump transgender military ban
• By Angela Dumlao
• While I will provide the link below
• Do not harass or otherwise attack this person
• It won’t do any good
• It will probably make things worse

The article starts out with

• Hi. If you’re a cisgender person angrily sharing the news about Trump’s ban of transgender people in the military, consider the following.  
• First off, note the audience. Why do the SJWs focus on other people rather than their own?
• Seldom, if ever, do they try to improve their own group
• Neither do they talk impartially about a topic and let the chips fall where they may
• Rather they take a classic in-group/out-group position of moral rectitude and certainty
• Everything my tribe does is good
• From my position as good, I have the right to preach to you on how to correct your “evil”.
• Second, note the assumptions of proper moral behavior
• It is implied that the virtue signaling of outrage is proper
• And that you should be (naturally ) outraged by the ban
• Finally, note that whatever you are doing, it isn’t enough
• This establishes the moral superiority of the writer’s in-group
• It is also an indicator of the post-Christian orientation of the SJW ideology
• The concept of original sin has been identified with being “cisgender”
• As an aside, you’ll find that “sinner” has been replaced with “racist”, “sexist”, or “*-phobic”.
• Christians classified everything they hated as “satanic influence”. The left categorizes it as mental illness.
• That was a lot of unpacking for one sentence
• It’s good to find that I can get some use from my Humanities degree.

Next:

• This is not a future hypothetical in which we need to protect people who want to be in the military.  
• Actually, unless something new has come out, it is a future hypothetical as no guidance or policy changes have actually been promulgated to the military.
• Even so, The first sentence is backwards. The purpose of the military is to protect us. 
• I get what they are saying, but it rubs me raw to imply that the military are weak, emotionally unstable people needing protection.
• There are trans military serving as we speak. 
• Yes there are. While it may be implemented in the same way that the homosexual ban was implemented during WWII, staffing problems will probably mitigate any mass discharges.
• There are trans veterans waking up to this news.
• This sentence is problematic. (heh)
• Of trans veterans, this only affects (possibly) those currently serving.
• I have seen nothing to indicate that their veteran status would be changed or denied.

Now that the author has set up the requisite fear mongering, we move on to the meat of the sermon. 

• Are you framing your posts with a call to protect trans people? Similar to #ProtectTransKids — while this means well, it also infantilizes the trans community. Stand with trans people. Support trans people who have been fighting for their rights. See the difference?
• Strangely enough, I actually agree with part of this. As I mentioned in my video on “Goose & Gander”, most SJW activity infantilizes their targets.
• De Benoist discusses the over use of the term “right” in his excellent little book, Beyond Human Rights.
• However, it should be pointed out that Military Service is not a right.
• Military service is an obligation and responsibility, not a right. It is something you give, not something given to you.
• What do you do to support trans people? 
• Note the implication that you should be supporting trans people
• Not that there is anything wrong with supporting trans people
• But I find the call for an in-group to demand out-group support of their in-group to the possible detriment of those out-group members own in-groups to be kind of insular and stupid

•  I don’t need answers, but I want you to think about whether you:
• Actively use peoples’ pronouns both when they’re around and not around. Do you correct other cis people when they misgender someone? Use their deadname?
• This actually touches on a pet peeve of mine. You do not have pronouns. The language has pronouns. They do not belong to you and demanding other people accommodate your whims is childish.
• Thelema tells me I am a God, Should I demand everyone refer to me as “my Lord”?
• Further, I neither know nor care about your gender. I can only recognize the biological sex that you present. If you look like a woman, I will call you her/she. If a man, he/him.
• I gave up on the TOPY-inspired E-Prime genderless pronouns back in the early 90s.
• Dead name is just stupid. Oh my god, I am using the name by which I know &/or are accustomed to using
• Oh my god, I am using the name on your birth certificate &/or Identification card.
• The horrors are nigh unimaginable.

• Do you intake media by trans people? TV? Books? Articles? Art? Music?
• How would I know? Believe it or not, I “intake” media because I like it, not for moral reasons
• What a sad world where you cannot enjoy something until after you’ve done research to verify that it meets a moral litmus test
• I can think of one, but generally, I don’t ask people since it isn’t normally relevant to my enjoyment of the media.

• Do you laugh at jokes like Trump being made up with makeup? 
• I haven’t seen that one, but I do admit to laughing at Hitler in make-up [IMG Pink Hitler]. 
• There is the man, all dolled up like Christ.

• Do you realize this is transphobic? 
• I think you are doing violence to the language. A phobia is a fear. This is called humor. It relies on the juxtaposition of incongruous ideas & images.
• This is not funny because trans people are funny, it is funny because we can imagine the discomfort that the person depicted, or those of their idolaters, would feel.
• With the Hitler image, we are laughing at the outrage neo-nazi’s feel at Hitler being depicted in such a way.
• It actually doesn’t have anything to do with trans people.
• Do you perpetuate the idea that trans women are really men, even in the most innocent, subtle way?
• What does the phrase “really men” even mean? Are you perpetuating the idea that there is only one way to be a man?
• If you mean “Do they biologically express the condition which is most similar to the male role in our sexually dimorphic species”? Well then yes.
• Not that I spend a lot of time with it. It only really matters if we are having sex (I need to know where to put it) or trying to make children.
• [IMG Hitler & Stalin] Yeah, just try to unsee this one.

• Do you know about the epidemic of trans women of color being murdered in the U.S. and beyond? Do you share these articles? Do you sad react them? Do you avoid them?
• Nope to all of them.
• However, I have google.
• There were 15 killed (HRC Website) this year
• 2016 statistics puts the number of (self-identifying) Transgendered persons at a little over 800,000.
• The CDC reports that there are 5 homicides per 100,000 people.
• For the save of expediency, lets just double the half-year rate to 30.
• That would put the number of deaths at under 4 per 100,000
• Your epidemic is below the national average.
• Your epidemic is actually a statement about how non trans people are being killed more than trans people.
• You’ll pardon me if I decline your call to rectify this imbalance.
• Realized that I ran the original numbers for the entire trans community, but I reran the numbers for and they show the same thing.

• Do you actively use your privilege as a cis person to make the world better for your trans siblings?
• My only sibling is no more.
• Sibling, brother, sister, these are all societal roles that incur an obligation on both parties.
• If you’ve treated me as a brother and I have treated you as family, then I will use any so-called privilege to our benefit.
• Sadly, I come from a prole background, so my privilege is lacking.
• I hope I have given my children some privilege by virtue of my accomplishments

The rest of the article goes on to say “Trump Sucks” but you can be better than him. With some more rhetorical flourishes that have been addressed already.

This came about because people seemed to like me talking about the pro-pedophilia site more than they like me talking about the factors causing such things

• I’ll try to include these from time to time

My son told me that the video about pro-pedophilia was more popular because of his keen sensibilities.

I told him to go back to his room and play with his waifu.

Anyway, this article was chosen as indicative

• When we encounter this crap, you need to analyze it like this
• You need to ask
• Who benefits
• Are they practicing what they preach?
• Are their facts correct?
• How are they trying to sway you?
• Is there really anything more than whining and guilt-tripping?

Goose & Gander (Equality, Merit, Standards + Brief Personal Update)

DWTWSBTWOTL

A quick update:

• I’ve been sick, this has combined with my allergies to make me truly miserable.
• I am normally critical of “Big Pharma”, but thank god for modern medical science.
• I’ve also been distracted by getting my orders and travel ready for my trip to Japan this August.
• I may do a video montage as a bonus video
• Being sick may impair my ability to write, but it did give me time to play around with Audacity, hence the intro and outro Music.
• Also Libre Office Impress for Ending and Beginning titles.
• I’ve also been trying to figure out my image archive. I have some 20,000 images and I am trying to tag them so I can find them when I want to use them in my videos.
• And I found some cool stuff on the Free Music Archive, not that I have used it yet.
• Current Reads: re-reading “Political Theology” by Carl Schmitt. Reading “Aristokratia, Volume 1”
• So, on with the show

I really like the phrase “What is Good for the Goose is Good for the Gander.”

• Evidently it can be traced back about five centuries.
• It reflects my standards based, meritocratic leanings.
• It also confuses people who don’t know what a gander is.
• As the French Syndicalist, Georges Sorel, once said, “There is only one pleasure greater than that of being appreciated by intelligent people, and that is the pleasure of not being understood by blunder-heads, who are only capable of expressing in a kind of jargon what serves them in the place of thought.”

For those of you who do not know, this is a gander….

 And this is a goose.

• Yes, a Gander is a male goose. There is a verb “gander” which is slang for “look”, but we can ignore that.
• Just FYI, a baby Goose is called a gosling. 
  
  
  
  
  
• They are so cute before they become tasty.

I did find it interesting that the dictionary reverses the sex order of the saying.

• A strict reading says “What is good for the (Female) Goose is Good for the (Male) Gander.”
• However, Dictionary.Com gives: “What is good for a man is equally good for a woman; or, what a man can have or do, so can a woman have or do.”
• To be fair, Wiktionary.Com does give it in the correct order, and provides a sex-neutral version which points to the essence of the proverb’s meaning.

While the proverb is great, Let us not forget what it is referring to…

• What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, but in our modern world, your goose is still cooked.

Now, I believe in displayed merit. This means I do not believe in equality.

• Any two people, even identical twins, are not equal. 
• I do, however, believe in standards and judging people accordingly.
• After all, this is how we determine an individual’s merit.
• Some standards vary according to the situation
• I value the Mechanic more highly than the Physician when I need my car fixed.
• Likewise, I value the Physician more when I am sick.
• Others remain fairly consistent.
• E.g., I always value the truthful.
• Different standards apply to different classes of people.
• Politicians, the Military, and Policemen should be held to a higher standard in our society due to their duties and responsibilities.
• This posits an inherent societally based inequality.
• Any two groups held to different standards are not and cannot be equal
• Those who meet a higher standard are intrinsically superior to those who do not, or cannot, meet that standard.
• Note that an individual may transcend their group if they aspire to, and maintain, a higher standard than is expected of them by society.

Our society does not grant equal rights to children.

• Neither are they held to the same standards.
• If a child hits another child, it would be considered cruel to throw them in jail for assault.
• Likewise, we look on with amusement at some of their more creative interpretations of the world around them
• I have heard it said that we begin to really possess the capabilities for logical reasoning around age 15 and complete them around 25
• However studies have shown that neither high schools nor colleges teach critical thinking.
• I cannot find a link for the statistical age at which logical reasoning skills develop and when the brain structures are fully formed, so feel free to take that statement with a grain of salt.
• Children are not the equal of adults

Any group to which we give a “pass” for failing to adhere to the nominal standards of civilized behavior is automatically less

• Further, one could argue that they are being infantilized. 
• When we fail to hold groups such as BAMN, Antifa, or BLM accountable for acts of violence, theft, or any other violation of the norms of civilized behavior, we are positing that the are inferior beings who just can’t help themselves.
• Just like when a toddler smacks their sibling in the head for taking their toy.
• Actually, they are less than the child, since we admonish the child.
• Full disclosure, I’ve disliked Antifa since the early 90s when SCAR (Skins Committed Against Racism) and SHARP (Skin Heads Against Racial Prejudice) were running around in gangs and beating up the Goths, Ravers, and Street Kids for not being members of their clique. They’ve also ruined several shows.
• When Feminists allow, even encourage, other women to act out in illogical rants, how are they any different than the caricatures of patronizing men who are believed to diminish women by smiling at their tantrums and saying “There, there” or “Don’t worry your pretty little head about it”.
• What’s really amusing is how complicit the SJW crowd is at diminishing and infantilizing themselves.
• A more conspiratorially minded person must wonder if the “movers & shakers” are merely encouraging the SJWs in order to make them more malleable, or whether it is a self-defeating monstrosity, a beast with no head.

The lazy, the loser, the ugly, the stupid, etc etc resent standards.

• They find their feelings hurt when they realize that they do not meet the standards.
• Nietzsche and Kierkegaard referred to this as “Ressentiment”
• According to Wikipedia, “Ressentiment is a sense of hostility directed at that which one identifies as the cause of one's frustration, that is, an assignment of blame for one's frustration.” I recommend the article, it is concise.
• I do like the Kierkegaard excerpt “The ressentiment which results from want of character can never understand that eminent distinction really is distinction. Neither does it understand itself by recognizing distinction negatively (as in the case of ostracism) but wants to drag it down, wants to belittle it so that it really ceases to be distinguished.”
• Nietzsche points out: “But it is not the same concept [of] ‘good’; on the contrary, one should ask who is actually evil in the sense of the morality of ressentiment. The stern reply is: precisely the ‘good’ person of the other morality, the noble, powerful, dominating one, but re-touched, re-interpreted and reviewed through the poisonous eye of ressentiment.”
• But I digress, suffice to say that if Nietzsche were a prophet, his accuracy in describing the Modern World would have put other prophets to shame.

Sadly, for these SJWs, the elimination of explicit standards merely results in the impositions of implicit standards.

• You see this in the way that dissent within the SJW community is vilified. 
• Thought Criminals, to salute Orwell, or Apostates, to recognize the post-Christian roots of their ideology, are savaged.
• Much like how the early Church needed Satan in order to bind the sects and factions together, SJWs need the “fascists” (whomever they may be on that day).
• LaVey explicitly mentions this in his Nine Satanic Statements
• I plan on discussing the lineal descent of Christianity to Post-Christian society (I.e. Modernity & Post-Modernity) in a later video
• We expect a certain level of “Otherizing” of their opponents by the SJW community (it is part and parcel of the human psyche).
• However, the internal infighting of the SJWs really shows their devotion to  Matthew 12:30, “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.” (NIV)

Ursula K. Le Guin authored an interesting work called The Dispossessed.

• The work portrays an Anarcho-Communist society that managed to be successful enough that they were ceded the moon of their world.
• The original society and the new society were isolated from each other.
• While professing to be free, social convention created a set of unwritten laws.
• E.g., Names were assigned by a computer to ensure they were unique, people had to “volunteer” for the hard labor of terraforming the moon
• Most importantly, dialog with the original society was restricted, as were certain ideas which risked undermining their ideology
• The story revolves around contact being made and involves an interesting critique of both societies.
• Bringing this back to standards, Le Guin is a fantastic Author.
• She doesn’t need the artificially restricted pool of “Women Authors” in order to stand out.
• She can be held to, and evaluated by, the same standards that makes any author great
• She is an adult.

I should also point out that the inherent subjectivity of any given set of standards is a non-issue

• Even if we bypass the philosophical argument that all things are subjective by virtue of our perception and contextualizing process, and merely go for cultural comparisons
• We can point out that some standards are actually cross-cultural: don’t murder, don’t steal
• Also, we are pointing out cultural norms. The sphere of discussion is the culture from which we culturally construct the standards
• The arena in which we fight is actually pitting those of the current standards against those who seek to lower those standards
• Standards can be arranged in a hierarchy based upon their difficulty and social cohesion.
• It is harder to tell the truth and suffer a penalty than it is to lie and gain benefits. 
• Further, social cohesion is increased by virtue of being able to trust what the other person is saying.
• Thus the person who generally tells the truth is superior to the person who does not. 
• Also, those who hold truth-telling as a virtue are superior to those who do not.
• Another example
• It is generally accepted that controlling your emotions is more difficult than letting them sway you to acts of violence
• Randomly assaulting people, even if they are despicable people, lessons social cohesion by interjecting doubts about whether one will be a target of violence.
• Remember, Barabbas was chosen over Jesus
• Devadatta worked against Siddhartha
• MLK was shot
•  Thus, those who refrain from randomly assaulting people are superior to those who do not.
• And, those who criticize randomly assaulting people are superior to those who encourage randomly assaulting people.
• Decrying the subjectivity of any given set of standards is merely an attempt to divert the discussion. It is the instinctual reaction of people’s ressentiment.

So, to summarize:

• “What is good for one type is equally good for another type, despite any irrelevant differences between the types.”
• Standards exist, whether you want them to or not. Eliminating overt standards leads to the creation of covert standards
• Failure to hold a group to the same set of standards categorically relegates them to an inferior status
• People can aspire to a higher set of standards than set by societal expectations and this makes them superior.
• The subjectivity of standards is a non-argument

Sex and Gender and Roles (Oh My!) [YouTube Script]

This is the text from which I created my YouTube video of the same name.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

Welcome to my inaugural video.

The first topic is one that keeps floating onto my radar. We will cover the topics of Sex, Gender, and the like. While I was preparing for this, Laci Green began a discussion on this topic. I will link her video in the description.

So, without further ado, there are many people screaming about gender and sex online. In these discussions, we should remember that one should not attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity — even when they are so stupid it hurts. However, I realize that identifying the problem is not the same as explaining the problem, so here are my thoughts. It should be noted that these thoughts are based upon fact, or inferences derived from those same facts.

1. Colloquial

The first thing we need to understand is the concept of “Colloquial Speech”. Colloquial is defined in the dictionary as “used in ordinary or familiar conversation; not formal or literary”. To put it simply, it is what non-experts think a technical term means. Often, it refers to an incomplete or improper use of the term. The modern or popular usage of a term is often colloquial. Sadly, these lines can be blurred even by experts, especially when they import a term across disciplines or fall victim to the impulse to let ideology dictate science. With this in mind, let us move to the first term.

2. Sex

Sex, the state, not the act, refers to the male or female division of a species, especially as differentiated with reference to the reproductive function. What should be clear is that this is a biological term. In humans, it refers to having either an XX or XY chromosome pair. This cannot be changed. Perhaps in the future, genetic re-sequencing of the human genome may be possible, but for now, that is the realm of science fiction.

2.1. Intersex

Discussions of the biological reality of sex invariably brings up the topic of intersexed individuals. Intersex refers to a rare condition where a non-viable, from a reproductive point of view, chromosome expression such as XYX or YY occurs. Experts seem to be in some disagreement over what exactly counts as intersex, but even the most permissive reckoning puts it at only 1.7%.

Now some may object to the term non-viable. Since this is biology, the term only refers to their ability to pass on their genetic heritage — i.e., to have children. It in no way refers to their worth or relevance as a human being or member of society. There are plenty of significant intersex people who are known for more than being intersexed. You have access to google.

Intersex is another biological and unchangeable condition.

3. Gender

Now that we have clarified these biological terms and explained their immutable character, one might wonder what all the confusion is about. According to the dictionary, gender is “either the male or female division of a species, especially as differentiated by social and cultural roles and behaviors”.

Since they use the term “species”, I have to assume that they have observed gender in non-human species. However, we will focus only on human beings. This definition is obviously different from the proceeding two. This is not a biological term. Its reference to social and cultural roles make it obvious that this term is sociological or anthropological in nature. It is the cultural expectations and assumptions made toward one’s role in society based on one’s biological sex.

There are two genders, corresponding to the biological divisions. These divisions are rather broad and include many roles, some of which may even seem to be in opposition to the qualities of other roles.

3.1. Gender Roles

This brings us to a term that seems to have fallen out of modern discourse. Gender Roles are the specific duties of Men and Women within a society. The roles for males include everything from effete femme-boy to the epitome of iron-disciplined warriors. Those for females can include delicate princesses to shield-maidens. This isn’t to say that all roles are held in equal esteem. Societies naturally favor those which increase the viability of the society. They also vary in how they react to less common gender expressions (Christian, Muslim, and Jewish views of homosexuality come to mind).

Again, Gender Role is not a biological term.

3.2. Gender Dysphoria

Pendent to this is Gender Dysphoria, a psychological term used to describe the dissonance created by one’s natural inclinations being at odds with the gender expectations of a society. This is caused by both biological and social factors. The degree can vary, but many cases resolve themselves after puberty, possibly because they either find or manufacture a gender role for themselves within society. Such was my case.

Transexualism is a final effort to ease the dysphoria for those who do not find a resolution on their own. By transitioning, they mimic the other sex so as to open that portfolio of gender roles. I would presume that success in easing the dysphoria relates to how closely their transitioned selves mimic the desired sex (thus causing others to relate to them as that sex) and their own acceptance of their transition. Then again, while conversant with psychology, gender dysphoria is not my field of study.

4. Conclusion

In conclusion, there is a significant distinction between sex and gender which is lost in most conversations on this topic. Gender roles can change within generations. However, since some gender roles are tied to biological sex functions (e.g., Motherhood), some roles may only be capable of slight modifications, rather than wholesale revision. Sex, being biological, is immutable — at least until we can directly modify the DNA of living beings in such a way that its results are both controllable and immediate.

I would also like to point out that I feel that modern “trans” culture trivializes a serious condition by pretending that gender is something that can be easily changed like a set of clothes.

Further, modern gender discussions seem to posit that any gender role is a unique gender. This seems to only complicate the matter rather than offering a resolution.

So, to wrap up, I should point out that I am open to meaningful criticism, rather thick skinned, and enjoy discussing ideas. Truth is found in the rubble of falsehood.

Love is the law, Love under will.

On waking people [111 Words]

I was a leftist and anarchist. Reality conspired to destroy both delusions. I should be thankful that I am not very good at lying to myself. Both ideologies depend on treating people as one thinks they should be rather than on how they are. This sets one up to be used by other people. People sidestep this by telling themselves that other factors are preventing people from acting as expected. If only people would “wake-up,” everything would work as these ideologies demand. It also serves as an ego enhancement by implying that the one thinking this is “awake.” The mission to awaken the people may be the most dangerous of conceits.

Anti-Fascists? Where?

Anti-fascists keep popping in and out of relevance. Since most people are “anti-fascist” in that they do not knowingly support fascism, I should probably point out that I am referring to the anti-fascist agitators. Strangely, or perhaps not so strangely, the anti-fascist agitator seems less opposed to fascist methods than their name would imply. Admittedly, most of my knowledge on these movements is through 1990s movements like SHARP (Skin-Heads Against Racial Prejudice) and SCAR (Skins Committed Against Racism), and through their on-going protests against neofolk and martial industrial acts. Occasionally, they protest some White Nationalist march or attack members of political parties with whom they disagree (mostly in Europe).

So, what do they do? A large portion of their activity seems to involve the elimination of competing and conflicting views. Second seems to be violent suppression, i.e., street action, of their opponents and rivals. In this, their function seems to be identical to that held by Sturmabteilung (i.e., SA or brownshirts) and Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale (i.e. blackshirts or squadristi). These groups served their political ideology by censoring or assaulting their opposition. Now, street action requires someone to act against. In the case of the National Socialists and Fascists, they were fighting similar groups from the Communist and Socialist parties. All were servants of totalitarian ideologies.

Totalitarian ideologies cannot tolerate dissent outside of a very narrow band. As an analogy, one can discuss whether the trim of the house should be painted white or blue, but not whether the house is big enough, located in a good area, or if one house is enough. Likewise, one is not permitted to address the fundamental assumptions underpinning the ideology of whatever movement. One must have faith. They are secular jihadists.

Typical tactics of anti-fascists involve stifling alternate opinions. The first step is to make accusations of complicity to whatever venue their opposition may be using. One should note that it is not necessary for the opponent to actually be National Socialist, Fascist, or racist. It is enough that their be enough flags that they can engage in their desire for oppression without earning a backlash from their social group (I will address this in more detail later). If that fails, they generally fall back on a two pronged attack. The first is for the complaints to the venue (or to the party being targeted) to escalate into threats of physical violence and property damage. The second is to organize a protest whose goal is to stifle freedom of expression. In the final phase is the actual violence and/or protest.

Now, many people justify the protest as being, in and of itself, an example of Freedom of Speech. This is sophistry. The people making this argument are far less understanding when the shoe is on the other foot. Were the fascists to crash a civil rights march with threats of violence, by drowning out and harassing participants, they would be appalled. In modern parlance, “Freedom of Speech” means the freedom for one side to talk as much as they want and for the other side to meekly accept it. This is not how a healthy society works and serves to demonstrate their own insecurities regarding their convictions.

Admittedly, there is a difference between avowedly Fascist (used colloquially to indicate Fascist, National Socialist, and White Nationalist groups) and Anti-fascist groups. While both subscribe to a totalitarian ideology, and both have a predilection for indulging their desire for violence (both have a tendency to glorify their struggle), the Fascist views themselves as being opposed to the greater society. They justify their actions as being a response to what they perceive as injustice in modern society. Anti-fascists, on the other hand, are agents of the dominant society. While fueled by the same desire for violence, they carefully ensure that their targets are those already ostracized by modern, liberal society. They prey on out-groups. They are, in a word, cowards.

In conclusion, the term Anti-fascist is a misnomer. They are just another pro-totalitarian group with a lust for oppression and violence. In a colloquial sense, i.e, as the term has come to mean since the 60s, they are as much, or more, fascist than those whom they oppose. It’s a shame that we cannot round them all up, both the “real” fascists and anti-fascists, and put them on an island to fight it out while the rest of us live our lives in relative freedom.
