If you want to view it as something more interesting than base stupidity and hypocrisy, I'd put it this way: The loyalty to city of man and city of G-d, empire and church, are on the Christian view two manifestations of one concept, with a special ultimate role for loyalty to G-d, under which all loyalties are meant to be psychologically and practically harmonized (though to my understanding not reduced per se). Loyalty is a single faculty of the human soul and it is perfected when reconciled to the order and nature G-d has given man and each object of loyalty. The Jews have no interest in the general nature of the human heart. Our loyalty is particular and covenantal, we were at Sinai, we pledged fealty, it is not the perfection or balancing or synthesis of a natural faculty at all. It is a rupture with both empire and church. Paradoxically, the Jews therefore never had a problem with G-d's indwelling presence in the city of man, because G-d is orthogonal to the entire dichotomy, and the two things are not as irreconcilable as reason would seem to claim because reason is not the only operating theater of the Jewish G-d. The Jews obey a being they claim to stand totally apart from the dichotomy in the first place. This loyalty can only be understood on a Christian basis as a raw tribal loyalty, something savage and foreign to the light of civilization. It is like the oaths mafia members take to the organization or something and definitionally not amenable to reason which means not amenable to G-d. This is precisely how Christian paranoia viewed Jews for centuries, because where they expected reason they saw in Jewish religion what they with their tools could understand only as *will*. When the Jew is Jewish first, it is different than when the Christian is Christian first, because the latter is an ontological relation that can ultimately be explained to and reconciled with the state, while the former makes no such assurances and indeed the Jews seem to think they will remain Jews, and not of a cloth with the world, indefinitely. The Jews in fact argue that it is only the standard truly irreducible to the polis that will eventually fix the polis, but this is unchristian.

I guess this post will be unpopular on both sides, but hey. I came here to tell the truth, and say "I told you so" ten years down the line. New York is NOT about to find out. Not yet. Because CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar... all those djihadi World Caliphate people , New York is NOT their end game. Ruling the United States is. Now they've got Minneapolis, Dearborn, ... and 2028 on their plate and in their plans. They'll invest in showing you how good they are for a few years. Oh, it won't be perfect. The water will begin to heat up.... but slowly. Slowly you'll see more visibly Muslim cops and City officials...or you won't see them because they'll keep Takya for a few years more. He won't even DREAM of defunding the police. He'll infiltrate it, and then he'll have his own militia. Suddenly Mahmoud Khalil will be persona grata at official event. Slowly you, the Great American Public, will start to feel a very subtle but very real threat in the air. Slowly receiving building permits, or business approvals, WILL be conditioned on your skin color or religious affiliation. Slowly, insidiously, the men in robes or in socks and flip flops will own the sidewalk, and you'll have to step aside. You don't understand me now, but believe me, you will. At the beginning many "liberals" will rejoice over the victory of the downtrodden, until, far far down the road, they understand they're becoming the downtrodden but the new rulers aren't interested in DEI. Only in power. It'll take time, but it'll happen. Mamdani, or his comrade from CAIR, because Mamdani is only a soldier in a very very disciplined army funded by Qatar and directed by the same imams who were behind 9/11 and October7Massacre, are now aiming for @POTUS. You've lost the battle of New York, America. The war will be much harder. Linda Saarsur, the djihadi antifa who called on Muslims in America to wage jihad on Trump (yeah, that's incitement to murder) is Mamdani's mentor. She organized the Womens March OPENLY Advocating for SHARIA LAW in US, and said that after the election, people will understand how Muslim money won the election -she only lies and saysitwas money from grassroots activism. No. It comes from Iran and Qatar. For once, I agree with her. Question is, how long will it take.

"There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism -- by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide." Ayn Rand

Every wave of extremism in Europe traces back to one source: the International Organization of the Muslim Brotherhood. They wear suits and speak the language of democracy, yet their goal remains the same: to replace freedom with fear and unity with division.

A few weeks ago, I heard the Philharmonic perform in New York, and outside there was a demonstration. It was after the ceasefire, and the people there weren’t protesting Gaza. The signs we saw weren’t about Gaza at all. They were about Israel - about the existence of Israel. The charade is over. It’s now completely clear that to protest the Philharmonic in Paris by lighting torches, at a moment when Hamas and Israel have already agreed to a ceasefire, is not about stopping the bloodshed. It has nothing to do with humanitarian concerns. It is about hatred. It is about inciting the destruction of Israel. It is about trying to delegitimize anything connected to Israel. What we are seeing is one of the most ambitious and radical projects of our time: an effort to indict Israel in a way that makes its very existence impossible, and any violence against it - against its citizens or its institutions - morally acceptable and even justified across intellectual and political life. This is a project to incite a new war. x.com/visegrad24/status/1986…

Nadav is right. The anti-Israel protests around the world are intended to "incite a new war": a global assault on all Jews. The purpose of calling us "genocidal" is to make killing us a moral act. They are trying to get us killed, and we need to accept that this is what's happening.

A lot of people wonder why the Fascist government-economic system is bad when it clearly seems to work better. This post by @LoganLancing explains why. Let me elaborate. What is the Fascist system, first? The Fascist system is something we could call "deferred free enterprise," I suppose, or something to that effect. The idea is that free enterprise (the profit motive) AFTER the entities in the private sector satisfy the "common need" through the government demand. That is, people can run their businesses and make a profit, but their first responsibility in business is to satisfy the government and what it wants. This model is called the "Stakeholder" model now, and the (Fascist) government (in a very unaccountable way) is designated as the representative of the common good and needs of "the people" in economic affairs. Another phrasing for this system is that the government will make the economy work for "the people" in the name of the "common good" by being the first line entity in corporate governance and activity. It is plausible, and it may actually be realistic, that such a system in a contained fashion might produce as good or even better outcomes as compared with a laissez-faire free enterprise system. I don't know. Let's suppose for the sake of argument (doing a lot of work here) that it is. What's the problem, then? Isn't Fascism of this sort a superior economic system to free enterprise? Doesn't the People's Republic of China (or Nazi Germany, who ran it first) prove it? No. Absolutely not. Why? Because even if this system is superior in the small scale (which probably isn't even true but might be), it is NOT going to stay small scale, and then you find yourself in the situation below, as explained clearly by Logan Lancing. The mechanisms of a state economy will always end up being such that the state economy grows as the state interest grows for itself, in the name of "the people" but actually to the benefit of the corrupt government agents running the system. Hitler implemented this system not to improve Germany's economy, which was at the end of its Fascist growth cycle already by 1937, but to mobilize his war economy (which launched to disastrous consequences in 1939). As his ambitions grew, his complete control over the economic situation in Germany grew, and the "deferred free enterprise" part of the economic system shrunk. Government, once let into the economy, eventually consumed the economy. The People's Republic of China is no different. A Woke Left "Sustainable" ESG Stakeholder economy here will be no different. A Woke Right "common good" Stakeholder economy here will be no different. And that's just the simple reality of it.

If you get your food from the government, the government can starve you. If you get your healthcare from the government, the government can let you die. If you get your housing from the government, the government can throw you in the streets. If you get your education from the government, the government decides what you think. If you get your news from the government, the government decides what you know. If you get your protection from the government, the government decides who your enemy is and when you should be harmed. If you get your freedom from the government, you were never free at all. If you get your purpose from the government, then you cease to exist.

Megyn is engaged as the last tier of a multi-tiered motte and bailey where her bailey is Tucker's motte, and Tucker's bailey is Nick or Candace's motte. It's a chain of legitimation, where each step in the chain grants legitimacy to the next, providing an open path to transport the fringe into the center. Replace Megyn with Kevin Roberts, or Matt Walsh, or whoever you please, the mechanism works the same. It is a means for the respectable center to inject the radical fringe into the center by using an intermediary so that they never have to defend the actual fringe.

When I was in Israel, there was a fair amount of talk about something called "the Conception." I asked how they say this in Hebrew, and they say, "the Conception." They say it in English. The Conception is a misconception that has been a central security risk to Israel all along. It's a belief that by being generous, kind, helpful, etc., with people who openly want to kill them, that they'll win them over. It's the misconception that the "Palestinians" and Islamists are dangerous because they're poorer and don't have good opportunities, schools, jobs, etc. It's the error that there's something Jews and Israelis can do to have peaceful coexistence with people who want them dead for being Jews and for being on land they intrinsically believe is "occupied" and "stolen" (radical Muslims believe all land they have ever held is theirs forever and that any land lost is intolerably stolen). The Left throughout the West operates upon the same "Conception," which is a misconception. That crime is caused by poverty. That criminals can be rehabilitated through money, opportunity, kindness, and generosity that they simply take advantage of. That we can import the worst of the world and simply have more great citizens by being nice to them. We, realists and conservatives, rightly mock the Conception in Western Leftists. We also understand why the Conception is dangerous, as do many more (but not nearly all) Israelis after October 7. The change in demeanor and approach you see in the actions of Israel since October 7 is the result of the Conception shattering in murder, evil, hostage-taking, and blood (to keep it polite). Of course, taqiyyah (Islamist Machiavellianism) encourages maintaining belief in the Conception. It is to their advantage, so it is not only acceptable but necessary to make these airs. Useful idiots fall for it pretty much every time, and the results we saw on October 7. Many among the slain and brutalized were devout believers in the Conception, living in hippie kibbutzim that got obliterated, often involving the betrayal of Islamist "friends" they had been helping. More taqiyyah. The Left, both here and in Israel, still believe in the Conception, and they're wrong. Radical militants, whether Communist, Fascist, or Islamist (or any hybrid blend of these), cannot be collaborated with into a successful integration because their objective is conquest, destruction, and/or murder. The Conception is wrong. The Left is wrong. Dangerously wrong. But there's another Conception running now, too, this one on and from the New Right. It believes the radicals on the New Right (or Woke Reich) are just chest-beating conservatives. That they're on our side for the most part but a little too radical or unseemly. That they can or must be in our tent to "win" and that they'll come back around to genuine conservative and realistic politics as we move forward together. This is just another manifestation of the Conception, and it's just as deadly. The New Right is openly and proudly Machiavellian (doing taqiyyah). They're not just betraying us and our trust and need, they're taking advantage of us and our MAGA Conception to radicalize more and more of our youth and capture more and more of our voices in the trap they're laying for us, and their October 7 of MAGA is coming. Israel failed with its belief in the Conception and in not taking the intelligence regarding Hamas seriously enough before October 7. New Yorkers are making the same mistake with Mamdani. The American MAGA movement is making the same mistake with the New Right. We must see through the Conception. Radical militant groups and splinters are not our friends and cannot be tolerated. We have the intelligence. We must not fail to heed it.

Maybe Hashem wants us to be so sick of democracy that we'll ask him for monarchy?

Elons algorithm doesn't want you to see this, but its been 32 days since people got food stamps. The average human cant survive two weeks without food. Mass death/starvation is already happening. They've turned america into auschwitz.

We will force the Groypers to join their fellow barbarians on the Left. As advocates of civilization, we have no common cause with barbarians.

I wrote an essay about how Marxism keeps coming back like an unkillable zombie because Universities treat the ideologically loaded work of activist professors trying to start a revolution as if it were a neutral source of scholarship about how society works. Link in the comments
