"Really, it’s revolutionism all the way down."

Pick a chapter on any liberal revolution out of any history book - literally, anywhere - and the succeeding chapter inevitably starts something like: "Thus began a reign of terror and repression, on a scale never before seen in that nation's history."

Mao's Cultural Revolution, The Russian Revolution, The French Revolution, Hungary's Red Terror; the lists rolls ever on.

It's genuinely weird to see a bunch of normal people drowning out an leftward person, rather than the other way around.

A semblance of reason has returned after an intense fever. Reminds me of pyrotherapy. We may have hit the sweet spot between a cleanse and certain death.

Open borders is the ideology of the Left that has been Occupied by Wall St. Go back close to a half century and I was in high school American History class learning how EvilBigCorporations brought in immigrants from ever more alien cultures in order to break the unions. My history teacher was a proud 60s liberal.

The old Left has been guilt tripped into giving up their ideal of European cafetopia. The way out is to give liberals altruistic excuses to create the high wage country they want. They need Absolution.

We can provide via two paths:

1. Open borders inevitably leads to empire. A cuddly welfare state cannot coexist with Galt's Gulch or a failed state without border control. And empire is inherently anti democratic. When billions vote, votes don't count. Save democracy. Prevent empire. Close the border. https://rulesforreactionaries.substack.com/p/a-kinder-gentler-nationalism

2. Or you can go the environmental route. Ecotopia is incompatible with open borders. There is no point in practicing birth control in order have wild spaces for your descendants if outsiders stream across the borders. Open borders is the path to the Soylent Green future. It's just happening slower than the movie predicted. (And note how the conformunists already have a food called Soylent, and they are also pushing bug meal and cancer steaks.) https://rulesforreactionaries.substack.com/p/rule-11-exploit-the-environmentalists

Maybe it makes me a bad person but seeing Stancil shudder with impotent rage makes me happy. He’s a completely irredeemable cretin, and deserves every bit of mental anguish he’s experienced in the last few weeks.

I have no interest in convincing that 5’ 1” potbellied manlet that sacrificing his country for a burrito is wrong. Until he’s bullied into silence, let him suffer.

I don't think that these philosophers were arguing that men were identical in every way. Instead, I think they were trying to point out that kings and other members of the royal family weren't *inherently superior* to the common people in intellect or moral worth. Surely this isn't a pernicious, society destroying doctrine. I don't understand all of this disdain for the Enlightenment.

Is this the place where traditionalist retards who think they would be knights when they would be shit shoveling peasants just like they are now go to suck each other off before their father calls them a faggot again for not having a career?
