Anarchy Begins At Home

Hello world!

In 1991 and '92, as a US Navy officer on exchange with the French Navy, I took up a truly intellectual endeavor for the first time in my life. I also turned 30 at the time. I read and read—so many classics of literature and Enlightenment. Fundamentally, I came away with the notion that the initiation of force by any individual, group, or State against any individual or group is fundamentally immoral and the core source of all problems in society. I committed my mind and practice to that principle, and the first step was to resign my navy officer...

Oligarchy: a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes. Let's get something out of the way right off the bat. Nobody should be president. It's a ridiculous notion and given the cheap con that "democracy" always was—and is perhaps finally festering to a boil—I'd just prefer monarchy. At least it's honest about its status, and in case your oligarchic indoctrination by means of oligarchic schools run by oligarchic loyalists makes you automatically recoil at the very "thought" because you've been admonished to never question things of such nature, there are actually sound arguments...

I’ve been thoroughly disappointed with all I’ve seen about Tim Cook, Apple CEO, defying a court order to code a workaround for the iPhone 5c left by our bro & sis native-immigant hybrid bombers in San Bernardino. Both ways. It frustrates me when people do not extract, identify, understand, and then argue from essentials. Like, people will not pay for various levels of security, for whatever their reasons? Shovels used to be a great device for ensuring your security. Dig a hole somewhere, drop stuff in it, and cover it up. Back then, various governments and lords were well aware...

[I have disabled comments on my L.m blog. I already have my main blog and plenty of comments to deal with there, and what I post here is always crossposted. Not trying to draw traffic away, but only have so much time. Anyone is free to message me here, but I'll probably ignore it.] I guess this is the day for blogging about comments. Those "ten followers" are really putting in overtime. Multiple accounts & all. Here's Sean II, which I take to mean he has at least two accounts, so as to help me look more important than I...

I've been relatively quiet lately because in the immediate aftermath of San Bernardino and beyond, I've been watching the left get unraveled while exposing their core modus operandi to the astonishment, even, of plain salt-earth Democrats—to levels of amusement on my part I don't ever recall seeing in my life. I'm not bright eyed, though. After all, the most disgusting, lying piece of shit in the entire history of American politics—that keeps turning up on the bottom of shoes—is still loved by many. Hillary! So I have to take every perceived advance toward righteous—not-politicized-sweet-lies—truth with a grain of salt. There's still...

I’ve always been kind of an open borders guy. The ideal of it seems to have always precluded me from analyzing it closely, while by the same token, making it easy to dismiss even cautious arguments as xenophobic, racist, or both. In a nutshell, I’ve always held that the problem with immigrants—”legal” or otherwise—sucking from the social teat is a problem with the social teat, and not immigration per se. If there weren’t all these “free” social benefits, then what’s the problem? Problem is, there are, and they’re not going away any time soon. So now I find that my argument...

Post #1 of my 12th Anniversary Blogging Marathon, post #4,258 of my dozen years of daily blogging. This is a cross-post of my marathon beginning now at FreeTheAnimal.com. The idea of communal-style living has captivated audiences ever since people began accumulating assets. It's rather intuitive. In any population, there exists a spectrum of very capable people down to complete wastes of flesh. It happens. It's mother nature, and mother nature usually improves the genetic stock by allowing the least capable to perish. Human society, while laudably compassionate, often seeks to remedy that natural situation and depending on your view, does too...

There are two essential errors of thought that stand in the way of eradicating terrorism—or, simply relegating it to the back of the bus, as just part of the low-level, incidental evil that will probably always unsettle humanity at some level. The idea that's it's somehow not ideologically tied primarily to the religion of Islam. Hand wringing over collateral death and destruction, leading to the tying of hands in terms of effective and lasting action. I aim to give you reasonable cause to dismiss both of those. First of all, understand that the entirety of the schtick that goes 'terrorists...

It's the philosophy, stupid. Now, I know some are asking 'what in the fuck is anarchist, State-hater Richard doing?' Simple. I'm picking a side and setting aside a side, for now, because as I opined previously, Anarchism is a political philosophy for civilized people, inapplicable in large measure, now. In other words, we have an organized and determined anti-civilization which presently requires utterly obliteration and destruction—without mercy or pity; without reservation, or purposes of evasion—and then and only then can we have beers in the pub where we solve all the world's problems again, go to a stripper bar after, and end...

"Those who know history are doomed to watch others repeat it." Over and over, in less than 5 minutes, watch Brigitte Gabriel cite five documented historical references to explain why the peaceful majority were always irrelevant, utterly laying waste to the fucking bla-bla of some abjectly moronic law student in her fancy hijab. No need to add anything to that. ...Along the same lines, a commenter from yesterday emailed this article, thinking he was making some point about painting with broad strokes, or whatever, just like that stupid emphasis on the peaceful majority, above. What I Discovered From Interviewing Imprisoned...

Further to my previous post, So Europe, Paris; America: What Now? there was part of the underlying idea that I set aside for later; i.e., for now. It's a conflation of our ethics with their metaphysics. Recall from your general understanding of philosophy, if you have one, that the hierarchy flows from metaphysics (the study of the given; reality), to epistemology (the study of knowledge of reality), to ethics (the study of moral right & wrong), and then finally to politics (the study of man's social organization). There's also esthetics (the study of art, which is basically an integrated reflection...

When is enough enough, and it's time to just let "God sort it out," as they say? There is precedent. Amongst rolling my eyes all morning at everyone changing their Facebook profile photos to overlay the Tricolore, or The Eiffel Tower bastardized into a "peace" sign, I was looking for something that actually spoke some meaning and distinction to the issue. Robert Bidinotto delivered: SO, LET ME SEE. Months ago, after the terrorist attack in Paris on the satire magazine Charlie Hebdo, some "liberals" claimed that the victims KINDA provoked it by publishing insulting cartoons of Muhammad. Then there was the...

Let's begin with a distinction. In common Internet context, a written rant—a proper one—is something that minimally rests upon some rational foundation of commonly understood and generally accepted ideas or principles, those ideas and/or principles being disregarded or ignored, and the reasons for ridiculing a wanton disregard or ignorance of common sense or common propriety are delivered passionately, with purposeful offense, and with the intention of being utterly devastating to the targets—such that as many people laugh at and ridicule them as possible. This is differentiated from temper tantrums which, as it just turns out, are basically what this post...

I had a curiosity yesterday. What are the correlations between obesity and religiosity, and if they exist, are some denominations more at risk than others? I did a little Googling this morning and found that indeed, it has been studied. But if you dig deeper, it becomes quite a mess, because it's difficult to separate science from dogma, which is not ironic, in this case. You've got apparent atheists on the one hand using any statistical tidbit to show that "religion makes you fat;" while on the other, fundamentalist Baptists put up pics of fat atheists. The only thing you end...

The political landscape meanders through our lives often enough by means of presenting a collection of false alternatives in order to promote binary thinking, analogous to our predominately right vs. left political system. "You're either for us or you're against us." In the context of energy production—as the narrative of the left goes—you need to embrace "clean" energy (e.g., blighting the landscape with bird killers wind turbines), while opposing oil and gas exploration, drilling, production and distribution generally—all while engineering schemes that subsidize the former while penalizing the latter. What this means in practice is that the government throws your tax money at...

Let's not mince words, which is always great way to start. Famed smart and witty queer, Milo Yiannopoulos, weighs in on the recent incident where an adult male—this time—goes postal at a school, again. I might be a raging homo, but I still innately understand the male need to conquer, crush and win. Men need to express that dark, powerful part of themselves, or it can abruptly overflow. If it is suppressed, derided and ridiculed, it can show up without warning and with horrible consequences. That’s why I’m so distressed that heterosexual men are being told, constantly, by the media and even in schools, that what they...

Only three developed nations enrich flour, pasta, grits or rice with iron: the USA, Canada and Britain. Fortification is done almost exclusively by developing and third-world countries. Some European countries, like Denmark and Sweden, have even banned fortification.
