Remember the saying "women & children first"? What if it were applied in the refugee situation, to minimize incidents like Cologne? Take in women, kids, maybe elderly men....except then fewer breadwinners --> more wards of the state. That's a problem. Still, a net improvement over current policy?

We should take in no one; we should settle ALL on some Greek island purchased from the bankrupt Greeks.

Is it a motivation for the mainstreaming of homosexuality that it casts a shadow on any explicitly all male association, be it a corporate body or just friends?

Arguing about unknowable motivations is futile.

How would you advise (in 2016) people fight Cthulhu? Seems only petty rebellions & minor bug fixes are possible...

Notice that the Roman Republic was never restored.

Is the problem with SJWs the ideology so much, as it's just shit tier people being shit tier people? The fact that the ideology is incoherent is accidental, and just makes them worse than they'd be if they were advocating a coherent, healthy worldview?

It's both.
SJW wouldn't be any more fun if the same ideology found a better class of host bodies.

Any wager on who the next dissident right target of the full-retard right will be, now that we know that even Charlemagne is not safe?

I have no idea who Charlemagne nor do I care.

Asking which ear of corn is the next one into the mouth of the 50' wide harvester / thresher is missing the point.

P.C., on campus and off, was a thing in the early 90s but it quickly became a joke and AFAICT had largely faded away by around Clinton's second term. Now it's come roaring back with a vengeance. Why do you think that is?

@st_rev's theory is that the crash of 2008 threw a lot of liberal arts folks out of work and then into Buzfeed, Huffpo, etc. They were bitter, they were low-status...and they were handed megaphones.
It's as plausible as anything else I've heard.

When's the status 451 post about Moldbug and lambda coming out? I'm gonna share that like a casserole

yes, I have!

Bill o'Reilly lost his virginity in a parking lot at KFC and wrote about it in one of his books. No further comments, just felt like sharing that with you.

thanks?

(How) possible to reconcile Moldbuggian enlightened absolutism with historically American libertarian spirit? (cf dickish HOAs, MM's opposition to darknets, dubious feasibility of crypto-locked weapons)

Moldbug explains history.
Libertarianism explains virtues.
