Curt: Sorry Bibi

Sorry Bibi. But ya know, you thought the lobby was gonna help you. But you didn’t count on getting an anti-white Muslim in the white house, now did you? So now, despite your empty rhetoric, there is going to be another holocaust. Another diaspora. And why? Because you thought you could control the white man. Instead, you destroyed him. And with him the only people who will ever grant you shelter. I’m a nationalist. For everyone. Including a Jewish nationalist. But nations require land holding. Land holding requires land holding ethics and morals. And apparently you don’t understand the lesson of the rise and fall of Judea: jews lacked the moral and ethical basis for land holding. And you still do.

Fight or die. There is no alternative. Words only work against christians. We are the only people who feel guilt. The rest of the world is merciless.

Taleb refutes Pinker on war — The retreat of good people faced with aggressive people

Evidence of the retreat of good people faced with aggressive people. We need institutions that recognize social norms as property and allow for their defense (with violence).

For example Pinker complacently observes that the Victorians were shocked and horrified by a crime wave, but neglects to observe that this crime wave consisted of one mugging in London every few months – which crime wave never went away, but instead people got used to it, and then it got vastly worse, and people got used to it again, and then it got vastly worse still, and people attempted to abandon much of their cities to savages, and then the crime wave followed them, and there is now no safe area in London. The idea of the inner city as some kind of jungle is new, starting in the late nineteen forties, early fifties. Early in the twentieth century, the idea that the affluent and respectable might have to abandon vast expanses of wealth and property, of huge, beautiful and high status buildings where once the wealthy and fashionable lived, to the vandalism and depravity of savages would have been as unimaginable as wolves and bears prowling the streets of London to devour passers by.

On Slavery and the Moral High Ground

On the contentious issue of slavery.

1. All the established powers in west africa (dahomey, kong, ashanti) opposed the abolition of slavery
2. On top of bribing the notable slave owners in england to end slavery the british also paid a huge bribe to the sultan of zanzibar.
3. In the mean time slavery is still extant in some parts of weste africa including ghana

So tell me, who has the moral high ground?

Amoeba Cheating and Reproduction

Kin-selection theory predicts that high genetic relatedness can limit cheating, because separation of cheaters and cooperators limits opportunities to cheat and promotes selection against low-fitness groups of cheaters. Here, we confirm this prediction for the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum; relatedness in natural wild groups is so high that socially destructive cheaters should not spread. We illustrate in the laboratory how high relatedness can control a mutant that would destroy cooperation at low relatedness. Finally, we demonstrate that, as predicted, mutant cheaters do not normally harm cooperation in a natural population. Our findings show how altruism is preserved from the disruptive effects of such mutant cheaters and how exceptionally high relatedness among cells is important in promoting the cooperation that underlies multicellular development. . . .

Cooperative groups are vulnerable, however, to exploitation by cheaters, individuals that have access to group benefits without contributing their fair share (1–3). Among cells and individuals, high relatedness is thought to aid in selection against cheaters (4–6). High relatedness means that cheaters and cooperators will tend to be in different groups, which both limits opportunities for cheaters to exploit cooperators and exposes any group-level defects of cheaters to selection. Curiously, although such control is central to selfish-gene theory, tests at the genetic level have been limited by the kinds of information available. In large organisms, relatedness is often estimated, but cheater genes are unknown. In microorganisms, cheater genes can be found (7–13), but little is known about relatedness in natural social groups.

The life cycle of social amoebae presents a challenge to the importance of relatedness in promoting selection against cheaters and an opportunity to test it. When the normally solitary amoebae are starved of their bacterial food source, they gather into a multicellular aggregate that forms a fruiting body. Here, ≈25% of cells altruistically die, forming a stalk that holds up the remaining cells, differentiated as spores, for dispersal (14–17). Thus, unlike more familiar organisms that develop from one cell, development begins by aggregation of many dispersed cells. Different clones can mix and cheat each other (18, 19), for example by avoiding contributing to the sterile stalk (7). Models (20–22), experiments (7, 23, 24), and a natural observation (24), suggest that cooperative fruiting body formation can be threatened by the spread of mutant cheaters that harm group productivity. . . .

While Fighting the Confederate Flag, Let’s Not Forget About Guns

Eli Harman:

“Don’t forget they have grander objectives.

Do you think you have appeased them? You have only emboldened them.

…

Leftists wish to deprive you of the means of prevailing in conflict so that they may obtain your cooperation at a discount, on terms that are not beneficial to you.

…

Time is on their side. Numbers are on their side. Demographics are on their side, (at least until they lead us all to ruin.) But the means of prevailing in violent conflict are not on their side, and that is what they are deathly afraid of, and that is why they are so urgently desirous to deprive you of them.”
