Peter Thiel or ancient vampire explaining why it's okay he drinks the blood of virgins once every fortnight? The best argument against immortality is the people who are most desperate for it.

The desire for someone to live a long, fulfilling life and then to pass peacefully into the night? How horrible.

Yeah, what I mean is this: If this guy ends up with what most people would consider the ideal life, where he gets to live a long life of being rich and successful, and yet can't enjoy it because it still ends and spends his time clawing at floor as the grim specter of inevitable death comes for him as well, it will be hilarious to me.

It's really too bad how tech-negative a lot of feminists are. Technology freed us (mostly) from unwanted pregnancy, the hazards of childbirth, and second-class citizenship. Technology made our brains (equal to men's) more relevant than our muscles (not even close). Technology is awesome.

The flavor of anarcho-primitivism with which I'm most familiar isn't outright antitechnology (like Zerzan) but more of the belief that no technology is worth it if it depends on an unsustainable and exploitative social system. Better to have a sustainable Stone Age existence than have the comfy technology but murder the earth and all the indigenous people. :shrug:

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

Anarcho-primitivism as a philosophy is almost as deluded as the anarcho-monarchism that NRx espouses.

It's actually kind of a problem in environmentalism - Native Environmentalist movements, who literally live a sustainable fashion as a way of life, see mainstream Environmentalism as petit bourgeois who aren't worth engaging with. The only real difference between the two being that one grows from a philosophy of life that's actually rooted in historical practice and another that's rooted almost purely in a sense of impending doom.

Even if you did somehow give up most of your technology without getting killed or exiled by anti-primitivist factions in your own society, how would you then stop a neighboring society that still has its technology and decides to enlarge its territory at your expense? They're going to take whatever they want and kill whomever they want and you're just going to have to take it. Primitivism is not just deluded, it's suicidal.

You have doubtless seen lots of people arguing that Trump is Hitler. Often “Trump is literally Hitler!”

Of course people who read my blog know what “literally” means, and though Trump is obviously not literally Hitler, there is in fact a good argument that Trump is Hitler.

But for some strange reason, Democrats never make the argument out loud in plain words. I wonder why.

The argument, said outright in plain words, is:

Hillary’s nomination speech was in large part urging black people to murder white people, and promising to use the justice department to prevent police from enforcing law on black people. If police, for some mysterious inexplicable reason, wind up arresting and killing a disproportionate number of black people – well that is disparate impact, which illegal. You don’t have to prove racist motivation. Disparate impact is racist. Treating people according to the content of their character is racist regardless of motivation if the outcome is bad for non asian minorities.

This has been the law and practice for a very long time, and failure to apply this law to school discipline and law enforcement is an unprincipled exception. Unprincipled exceptions always go away sooner or later, and Hillary, truthfully or untruthfully, is promising to remove this unprincipled exception for policing and school discipline. I hope she is being untruthful, but sooner or later it will be the truth. Unprincipled exceptions are always removed sooner or later.

Hillary also promised to take away the guns of law abiding people (law abiding gun owners being almost entirely white Republicans) so that colored criminals can kill them (Criminal gun owners being mostly black Democrat voters. In other words, she promises to take away the guns of white Republicans so that black Democrats can kill them once she has appointed enough anti gun supreme court judges.

Hillary also promised to keep the borders open, and in particular open to poor suffering Muslim refugees, who are generally brown or black, male, military age, and always vote Democrat. Every few weeks we read of some outrage where black male military age Muslims murder large numbers of people, usually large numbers of white people. It is unclear how many black male military age Muslims we will get under this policy, but there are several hundred million such in the world, and they would all be much better off coming to America to live on crime, welfare, and voting Democrat. So there is a good chance that Hillary will bring in a few hundred million black male military age Muslims screaming for infidel blood and white pussy, to permanently change the electoral landscape so that whites are permanently outvoted, and we end up with a brown republican party competing with a slightly darker brown Democrat party over who will burn the most white shops, murder the most whites and rape the most white women.

Trump’s nomination speech was law and order, and he proceeded do demonstrate his capacity to maintain law and order in a wide area around the convention center. Among his various law and order measures was that he was going to stop illegal immigration and Muslim immigration.

We all know that lawlessness and disorder is in very substantial part, non white criminals preying on whites, for example Kristallnacht in Ferguson, so this means Trump is the pro white candidate and Hillary is the anti white candidate.

And, of course, Hitler was the pro white candidate, therefore Trump is Hitler.

And I now raise another glass of moonshine, this time to 27. Februar 1933.

I think there's a strong imprint from evangelical Christianity in a lot of these visions: an apocalypse looming due to sinful behavior which will need to be stopped, but society will still be destroyed and only the virtuous will be saved by some action.

And as always the question becomes: Who gets to decide who dies?

There was a Norman Spinrad novel, Bug Jack Barron, with this as the premise. Written in the 70s, it seemed outlandish then. But I disagree that research into immortality, however far-fetched, is immoral.

It's always the same. People have always wanted to live in 'the end times' to give their own end meaning. And politics have always been 'post-fact' - people are easily ruled by appeals to emotion, not 'reason'.

None of this is good, but it won't change. Unless we rewire our brains or something.

I did a double-take on this one, because while I didn't watch the speech, what I'd heard about it was that it was "okay," that it focused a lot on kids with disabilities, and that she promised to fix government by micromanaging the poo poo out of it. So I went and read the whole speech. She spoke for 42 minutes, and in that entire speech, these are the only times she specifically mentioned the police or racial issues:

quote:

Look at what happened in Dallas after the assassinations of five brave police officers.
Chief David Brown asked the community to support his force, maybe even join them.
And you know how the community responded?
Nearly 500 people applied in just 12 days.

quote:

So let's put ourselves in the shoes of young black and Latino men and women who face the effects of systemic racism, and are made to feel like their lives are disposable.
Let's put ourselves in the shoes of police officers, kissing their kids and spouses goodbye every day and heading off to do a dangerous and necessary job.
We will reform our criminal justice system from end-to-end, and rebuild trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
