00:00:00.000 You know, one question that keeps coming up in the comments section is, what exactly are your political beliefs?
00:00:13.000 Are you anarcho-capitalist? Are you a monarchist? Are you libertarian? Are you Republican? Are you a neocon? Are you anti-natalist? Are you...
00:00:25.000 Thanks, beautiful.
00:00:36.000 But to revisit all of these questions, let's look at the fundamental question, which is, what can we do to survive?
00:00:48.000 As individuals, as a group, as a nation, as a race, as a culture, what can we do to survive?
00:00:59.000 Now, it's a lot of fun and is a very, very good mental exercise to sit around speculating about Plato's Republic.
00:01:11.000 The guy wrote a whole book on the bloody thing.
00:01:14.000 But that's a very different question from asking, what can we do to survive?
00:01:21.000 What are the realistic possibilities that we can explore in this current foul year of our lore, 2013?
00:01:32.000 What are our options?
00:01:35.000 And the important thing about the right is, unlike the left, the left has something they agree upon.
00:01:45.000 They have the end of history in their minds.
00:01:48.000 They have this mechanical god that they worship that is, oh, there's a little bit of debate over what portion of feminism, and which portion of GLBT, and which portion of multinationalism, and so on and so forth.
00:02:04.000 Like, what exactly the end state is.
00:02:06.000 But they all agree that there is an end state.
00:02:08.000 And the only error you can do on the left is not being left enough.
00:02:16.000 We're not like that on the right.
00:02:18.000 We are a bunch of radical individualists that debate constantly, that have disagreements, but we can still be neighbors.
00:02:26.000 We can still be friends.
00:02:28.000 We can have intelligent discourse.
00:02:30.000 We don't need to blacklist anybody that disagrees with us.
00:02:35.000 We can listen to them, accept their position, and move forward.
00:02:42.000 So with all of that in mind, let's explore the three fundamental types of society that are being discussed nowadays.
00:02:56.000 Democracy, Anarchy, and Monarchy.
00:03:03.000 Now, democracy, and this form of religion, this form of government is the American religion.
00:03:13.000 It is the Declaration of Independence.
00:03:16.000 It's the Declaration of the Rights of Man from the French Revolution.
00:03:20.000 It is the 20th century religion, the modern age.
00:03:26.000 Democracy is modernism.
00:03:32.000 And on some level, every society has had democratic organizations.
00:03:37.000 Democracy, in the functional level, is absolutely self-evident.
00:03:42.000 That if you have a group of individuals, and you all want to figure out what you're doing that night, you vote on what you're going to do that night.
00:03:51.000 That form of democracy has been omnipresent in every society.
00:03:58.000 Even monarchy, even theocracy has democratic aspects to it.
00:04:05.000 But what happens when you raise that functional mechanism of governance to the point of governance?
00:04:19.000 You start with the limited franchise.
00:04:22.000 And in fact, every libertarian and every fascist reformation to democracy has involved taking the absolute franchise and restricting it.
00:04:37.000 The best example of this is probably Heinlein.
00:04:40.000 In Starship Troopers, he wants to select for social responsibility.
00:04:47.000 In his science fiction novel, the book, not the movie, the selective pressure is that you have to have served the state in a particular type of function before you get to vote.
00:05:03.000 Now, the most obvious form is the infantry, is the military.
00:05:07.000 But in the book, he also opens it up to a variety of other forms of service.
00:05:12.000 He even mentions that if a retarded man wants to get the vote, wants to serve the country, they'll have him go test spacesuits on Pluto.
00:05:22.000 With the implication that, in reality, they're going to be a little bit nicer to the retarded man.
00:05:27.000 That's just the scary, dangerous risk thing that they try and keep him away with.
00:05:33.000 You know, you don't want the right to vote.
00:05:35.000 You don't want the franchise a bit too scary for you.
00:05:38.000 Just be a good, little, obedient citizen.
00:05:40.000 But those that actually want the franchise, those that want to participate, get to be involved.
00:05:46.000 That was his solution for limiting the franchise.
00:05:51.000 The old American solution was property.
00:05:55.000 You need to own X amount of property.
00:05:59.000 Presumably, if you own this much property, especially in a homesteading country like the United States, you're not an idiot.
00:06:07.000 You're invested in the community.
00:06:08.000 You're going to vote responsibly.
00:06:10.000 But what inevitably happens with this franchise?
00:06:18.000 It gets expanded.
00:06:21.000 There's always going to be that voice on the margin.
00:06:23.000 That voice that has $500 less property than is needed to vote.
00:06:29.000 There's going to be that person doing a public service that is dangerous, but isn't recognized as worthy of the vote.
00:06:36.000 That's going to be lobbying for their right to vote.
00:06:40.000 That limited franchise is inevitably going to expand and expand and expand until it encompasses everybody in the society.
00:06:52.000 Currently in the United States, we're watching the last expansion where it goes not just to every citizen, but even to every non-citizen where they're legally allowed to vote.
00:07:05.000 And you wind up with the horrors of democracy, which I've discussed at length and I'm sure you're all well aware of.
00:07:17.000 People are different.
00:07:20.000 People have different IQs.
00:07:22.000 Not everybody has the capacity to make rational choices for their society.
00:07:27.000 So you get anarcho-capitalism.
00:07:34.000 Anarcho-capitalism, Ayn Rand, hardcore libertarianism, it's all part of the same thing.
00:07:43.000 That we completely eliminate government and build free market anarchies in their place.
00:07:52.000 Now again, this sounds like a sexy place to live.
00:08:02.000 I would love to live in a anarcho-capitalist regime.
00:08:05.000 I'd be quite happy there.
00:08:07.000 I'd be civilized.
00:08:08.000 I'd be able to carry a sidearm with me.
00:08:11.000 And the occasional Cro-Mag idiot that comes and starts trouble gets a 9mm heater between the eyes.
00:08:18.000 Problem solved.
00:08:20.000 But we're not talking about a complete social reset right now, are we?
00:08:30.000 We're not talking about a bunch of high IQ and well-educated scientists colonizing Mars.
00:08:37.000 And some of you picked up on the science fiction story I'm referencing there.
00:08:43.000 We are not talking about a complete social reset.
00:08:46.000 We are talking about dealing with the situation we have before us.
00:08:54.000 The fact of the matter is that most humans are too stupid to live.
00:08:58.000 That we've had a dysgenic breeding process for the past 10,000 years.
00:09:03.000 And we have this massive, genetically deviant underclass that can't begin to run their own lives.
00:09:14.000 That is not intelligent enough to understand something as simple as a social construct.
00:09:20.000 Or insurance.
00:09:22.000 Or any of these other premises that go into the anarcho-capitalist society.
00:09:31.000 And yet they're here.
00:09:32.000 They're here.
00:09:33.000 Their voting.
00:09:34.000 And some of them have quite a bit of wealth and a large number of firearms.
00:09:36.000 And some of them have quite a bit of wealth and a large number of firearms.
00:09:47.000 Anarcho-capitalism is a beautiful concept that would possibly work quite well with a whole bunch of educated, literate scholars upon Mars.
00:09:59.900 But in the world we find ourselves in is a pipe dream.
00:10:08.500 It's a pipe dream worth studying, worth understanding, worth figuring out why this is such a great system and why we'd all love living in it.
00:10:19.020 But we tried it already.
00:10:23.720 We tried it multiple times.
00:10:25.940 Go ask the Irish how well anarcho-capitalism worked for them.
00:10:35.900 See, anarcho-capitalism, if you actually play with it, if you run the simulation in your head,
00:10:42.800 and you know what, even if you start with high IQ people,
00:10:46.900 eliminate all the degenerates, all the criminals, all the scumbag human beings of society,
00:10:55.940 and you start with the best and brightest human beings on the planet.
00:11:03.040 The thing is, some smart people don't want to be masters.
00:11:09.040 Some of them want to be accountants.
00:11:12.080 Some of them want to be engineers.
00:11:14.440 Some of them just want to be given interesting puzzles to go figure out and have somebody else figure out the logistics.
00:11:21.280 Even with this ideal genetic starting base for your anarcho-capitalist society,
00:11:31.240 you tend to wind up with monarchy.
00:11:34.500 One person owns 90% of the property and is responsible for creating rules that serve the majority to keep them happy.
00:11:47.500 Now, in the democracy, you have the majority voting for breads and circuses.
00:11:53.480 You have them voting for degenerate entertainment.
00:11:56.780 You, you, the savages overwhelm.
00:12:00.020 Whereas in the end result of the anarcho-capitalist state,
00:12:06.280 in that proto-monarchist state,
00:12:08.980 you actually have somebody that's trying to run an intelligent civilization
00:12:13.980 that recognizes some people just want to be engineers.
00:12:17.640 They don't want to think about this nonsense.
00:12:22.800 People don't want to think about making their computers run properly.
00:12:28.740 I'm a Linux guy.
00:12:30.380 A lot of people aren't.
00:12:32.800 Personally,
00:12:35.060 insurance makes my head hurt.
00:12:36.360 I don't want to think about insurance.
00:12:39.020 I don't want a million choices.
00:12:41.200 I want a cast that does the insurance and gives me the solution.
00:12:45.680 Same thing with my cell phone.
00:12:47.060 I don't want to think about it.
00:12:49.740 Somebody else comes up with the solutions.
00:12:54.540 All underneath this CEO shareholder pseudo-monarchy.
00:13:00.040 Now, that said,
00:13:06.400 there are major problems with monarchy.
00:13:09.320 Major, major problems.
00:13:11.140 You know, it took 200 years for democracy to implode.
00:13:15.380 Monarchy, it took 800 years,
00:13:17.880 but it still imploded, didn't it?
00:13:20.980 With monarchy, we have these inheritance rights.
00:13:30.120 We have these idiotic sons
00:13:33.500 that inherit the monarchy,
00:13:35.700 and they play with clocks all day long.
00:13:38.760 Then they marry Marie Antoinette,
00:13:41.120 who makes idiotic comments about bread and cakes,
00:13:44.040 and soon enough, you have a democratic revolution.
00:13:50.160 Monarchy has problems, too.
00:13:57.080 But see,
00:13:57.820 we're also living in an era
00:13:59.560 where we have
00:14:01.940 two brand new
00:14:04.820 social technologies
00:14:06.540 that did not exist
00:14:08.920 until now.
00:14:09.960 the first of the corporation.
00:14:14.900 It used to be,
00:14:16.880 let's say
00:14:17.600 you were a brilliant cobbler.
00:14:20.800 You managed to make the best
00:14:22.240 goddamn boots
00:14:23.880 in all of Germany,
00:14:25.180 and one of your sons
00:14:28.460 wanted to go into musical theater,
00:14:30.640 and the other's
00:14:31.700 a painter.
00:14:34.160 Your business died,
00:14:36.560 and this brilliant boot-making technology
00:14:38.940 that you developed
00:14:39.680 died with your business.
00:14:44.560 Enter the corporation.
00:14:46.300 That permanent,
00:14:47.840 shareholder-involved entity
00:14:49.600 that is immortal,
00:14:52.000 that owns a patent,
00:14:53.840 owns a technology,
00:14:56.040 ad perpetuum.
00:14:59.520 Now, of course,
00:15:00.620 again,
00:15:01.420 we've all heard the problems
00:15:02.740 with corporations.
00:15:03.720 You know,
00:15:04.040 Disney should have given up
00:15:06.600 Mickey Mouse
00:15:08.200 50 years ago.
00:15:09.680 that should be common culture.
00:15:12.700 There's problems
00:15:13.520 with this technology, too.
00:15:14.840 Every technology
00:15:15.800 is a double-edged sword.
00:15:17.240 But for the first time,
00:15:18.340 we actually have technology
00:15:19.480 that can make
00:15:20.200 an idea
00:15:21.000 live in perpetuity.
00:15:22.440 Moldbock has some interesting ideas
00:15:27.180 about how to
00:15:27.860 use this for governance.
00:15:31.380 And,
00:15:32.220 the second technology.
00:15:33.560 In the 1700s,
00:15:42.440 they were aware
00:15:44.040 of genetics.
00:15:45.120 It wasn't until Darwin
00:15:46.200 that they really figured out
00:15:47.520 how evolution worked,
00:15:50.000 but they were aware
00:15:51.560 of genetics.
00:15:52.500 they were beginning
00:15:59.400 to notice
00:16:00.040 that we have
00:16:00.700 a dysgenic
00:16:01.400 civilization.
00:16:05.660 In the 20th century,
00:16:08.320 some very
00:16:09.340 half-assed
00:16:10.180 attempts
00:16:10.800 at genetics
00:16:12.180 were attempted
00:16:13.520 by
00:16:14.240 democratic countries.
00:16:16.340 eugenics
00:16:18.420 eugenics
00:16:19.420 first appeared
00:16:20.100 in California
00:16:21.160 before being
00:16:22.500 contracted
00:16:24.380 by Nazi Germany.
00:16:28.300 And a lot
00:16:29.580 of ugliness
00:16:30.620 resulted
00:16:31.860 from this
00:16:32.440 democratic
00:16:33.620 scientist-as-priest
00:16:36.380 conception
00:16:37.240 of it all.
00:16:38.280 But monarchs
00:16:41.140 in the 1700s
00:16:43.460 were beginning
00:16:45.440 to become
00:16:46.060 aware
00:16:46.660 of the
00:16:47.660 dysgenic
00:16:48.280 problems.
00:16:52.880 And we are
00:16:54.060 far from
00:16:54.580 figuring it all out.
00:16:55.920 In fact,
00:16:56.360 currently,
00:16:56.960 our democratic
00:16:57.920 society
00:16:58.560 is so deeply
00:16:59.960 morally opposed
00:17:01.060 to actually
00:17:01.640 understanding
00:17:02.480 how genes
00:17:03.720 correlate
00:17:04.420 to pro-social
00:17:05.880 behavior.
00:17:07.200 That if
00:17:07.740 we
00:17:08.340 see
00:17:10.720 any sort
00:17:11.800 of
00:17:12.000 new
00:17:12.420 eugenic
00:17:12.940 program,
00:17:14.100 you know
00:17:15.300 what it's
00:17:15.520 going to be.
00:17:16.440 It's going to be
00:17:17.160 attacking the
00:17:17.880 very genes
00:17:18.820 that encourage
00:17:19.600 brilliance.
00:17:20.760 And they're
00:17:21.240 going to be
00:17:21.560 favoring
00:17:22.180 obedience.
00:17:24.220 It's going to
00:17:24.600 be another
00:17:25.020 top-down,
00:17:26.740 heavy-handed,
00:17:28.480 dictatorial,
00:17:29.760 democratic
00:17:30.400 approach
00:17:30.860 to the whole
00:17:31.300 damn thing.
00:17:34.600 But nonetheless,
00:17:35.640 this is an
00:17:37.720 interesting
00:17:38.120 technology
00:17:39.780 and possibility
00:17:40.920 for our
00:17:42.060 species.
00:17:49.420 The point
00:17:50.580 of all of this
00:17:51.480 is
00:17:51.800 that I
00:17:53.920 don't
00:17:54.620 have the
00:17:55.660 solutions.
00:17:56.080 I don't
00:17:56.980 have the last
00:17:57.760 word on the
00:17:58.400 matter.
00:17:59.420 And
00:17:59.800 neither does
00:18:01.380 anybody else.
00:18:02.720 That us
00:18:03.400 on the
00:18:03.900 right,
00:18:04.720 we are
00:18:05.700 trying
00:18:08.080 to rebuild
00:18:10.280 something.
00:18:11.420 And it's
00:18:12.000 not going to be
00:18:12.600 the exact same
00:18:13.420 solution in
00:18:14.540 every location,
00:18:15.700 in every
00:18:16.060 province,
00:18:16.860 in every
00:18:17.860 state.
00:18:18.420 this is
00:18:22.100 fast becoming
00:18:22.820 an international
00:18:23.460 problem.
00:18:25.240 There is
00:18:26.060 a blogger
00:18:28.220 that I'm
00:18:28.540 going to
00:18:28.680 link to
00:18:29.000 down below
00:18:29.980 the Observer
00:18:30.940 Watches,
00:18:32.140 who is
00:18:34.320 not North
00:18:34.860 American,
00:18:35.340 who's not
00:18:35.600 even remotely
00:18:36.260 North
00:18:37.200 American.
00:18:37.460 He's from
00:18:37.820 Singapore.
00:18:39.000 And he
00:18:39.740 sees the
00:18:40.380 same
00:18:40.960 ugly
00:18:42.460 degeneracy
00:18:43.500 appearing
00:18:45.000 in his
00:18:45.520 own country.
00:18:46.480 And his
00:18:46.880 response?
00:18:47.480 his response
00:18:49.460 to these
00:18:49.740 Singapore

00:18:53.220 with white
00:18:53.760 men?
00:18:55.900 White men,
00:18:57.780 come fuck
00:18:58.360 the shit
00:18:58.820 out of these
00:18:59.320 whores.
00:18:59.800 Use up
00:19:00.400 their most
00:19:00.820 fertile years.
00:19:02.140 These
00:19:02.400 degenerate
00:19:03.300 sluts are
00:19:04.200 never going
00:19:04.860 to be part
00:19:05.540 of any
00:19:06.180 revival.
00:19:09.540 Use them.
00:19:11.120 I don't
00:19:11.820 care.
00:19:12.600 They're not
00:19:13.080 part of the
00:19:13.520 solution.
00:19:14.020 They're part
00:19:14.460 of the
00:19:14.880 goddamn
00:19:15.340 problem.
00:19:17.480 And when
00:19:22.600 we look
00:19:23.060 around at
00:19:24.940 these
00:19:25.200 savages that
00:19:26.320 share our
00:19:26.920 societies,
00:19:27.900 most of
00:19:28.660 them are
00:19:29.400 part of
00:19:30.580 the problem.
00:19:31.520 They are
00:19:32.020 degenerates
00:19:33.140 voting for
00:19:34.180 breads and
00:19:35.440 circuses.
00:19:36.340 things.
00:19:39.280 And quite
00:19:40.100 frankly, I
00:19:40.760 don't give a
00:19:41.260 flying fuck
00:19:42.440 about those
00:19:43.360 people.
00:19:45.060 I care about
00:19:46.080 the people
00:19:46.560 that are going
00:19:47.940 to survive
00:19:48.580 and eventually
00:19:50.080 have their own
00:19:51.040 children who
00:19:51.880 will become
00:19:53.320 part of the
00:19:53.820 solution, who
00:19:54.500 will revitalize
00:19:56.560 this society.
00:19:58.120 I don't know
00:19:58.700 exactly how it's
00:19:59.620 going to happen.
00:20:00.440 I don't know if
00:20:01.220 it's going to be a
00:20:01.760 reversion to
00:20:02.400 monarchy, if it's
00:20:03.160 going to be some
00:20:03.540 new form of
00:20:04.160 government, it's
00:20:04.740 going to be a
00:20:05.180 narco-capitalism.
00:20:10.140 But those are the
00:20:11.040 people I care
00:20:11.580 about and those
00:20:12.600 are the ones I
00:20:13.040 want to survive.
00:20:16.180 Irini out, my
00:20:16.940 brothers.
