  • Smorty!! Hi!!!!!
    Thank you for your drawing!
    Have people been putting your stuff on other platforms?

  • "What would I have done if I had lived in Nazi Germany?"

    I wouldn't want the Frank family crashing with me, the house would be too cramped.

    After a month of living in my attic, Anne refused to get a job, so of course I had to kick her out. She'll never get far in the real world.

    There are services to help people like the Franks.

    Anne kept ranting about fascism, scaring my wife. Can't she see that things aren't really that bad?

    Having multiple families in this home would be against zoning regulations.

    They're criminals. Anne Frank's gonna steal my jewelry while I'm at work.

  • Some of the architects who helped win the second American civil war say yes:

    Firstly, it is essential to squash the democratic myth that a state ‘belongs’ to the citizenry. The point of neo-cameralism is to buy out the real stakeholders in sovereign power, not to perpetuate sentimental lies about mass enfranchisement. Unless ownership of the state is formally transferred into the hands of its actual rulers, the neo-cameral transition will simply not take place, power will remain in the shadows, and the democratic farce will continue.

    So, secondly, the ruling class must be plausibly identified. It should be noted immediately, in contradistinction to Marxist principles of social analysis, that this is not the ‘capitalist bourgeoisie’. Logically, it cannot be. The power of the business class is already clearly formalized, in monetary terms, so the identification of capital with political power is perfectly redundant. It is necessary to ask, rather, who do capitalists pay for political favors, how much these favors are potentially worth, and how the authority to grant them is distributed. This requires, with a minimum of moral irritation, that the entire social landscape of political bribery (‘lobbying’) is exactly mapped, and the administrative, legislative, judicial, media, and academic privileges accessed by such bribes are converted into fungible shares. Insofar as voters are worth bribing, there is no need to entirely exclude them from this calculation, although their portion of sovereignty will be estimated with appropriate derision. The conclusion of this exercise is the mapping of a ruling entity that is the truly dominant instance of the democratic polity. Moldbug calls it the Cathedral.

    The formalization of political powers, thirdly, allows for the possibility of effective government. Once the universe of democratic corruption is converted into a (freely transferable) shareholding in gov-corp. the owners of the state can initiate rational corporate governance, beginning with the appointment of a CEO. As with any business, the interests of the state are now precisely formalized as the maximization of long-term shareholder value. There is no longer any need for residents (clients) to take any interest in politics whatsoever. In fact, to do so would be to exhibit semi-criminal proclivities. If gov-corp doesn’t deliver acceptable value for its taxes (sovereign rent), they can notify its customer service function, and if necessary take their custom elsewhere. Gov-corp would concentrate upon running an efficient, attractive, vital, clean, and secure country, of a kind that is able to draw customers. No voice, free exit.

  • Remember this little guy?

    Well this is him now:

    Feel old yet?

  • What about people who can't relocate because they're poor, don't have dual citizenship, have nowhere to go, have felonies, etc?
    We know it will get worse. Our persons are already owned by the US. We know the history and we've read their playbooks.
    There's no organization, no real solidarity, no strategy for opposition.
    The people who think they'll be safe from it won't help us entrench, and people who already got out won't help us get out.

  • Nooone's forcing you to steal and sell books that should be given away for free, assh*le

  • F*cking rude, people put those books there for the enjoyment of the local community and you’re out here ruining that process for them so you can make a quick buck.

    Look, if you need to get your bag, get your bag. I’m still going to call you an asshole for being an asshole. This is why I permanent marker all of my LFL donations so they’re less resellable.
