    The constitution and our system of government is flawed. I still agree with John Adams about morals and "religion" though I would say spirituality. Whatever type of society humans live in, having a high regard for mankind doesn't seem compatible with flooding one's country/community/streets with drugs intended to addict and kill.

    Fentanyl is already illegal in the vast majority of the country. I don't know how much is stopped coming into the country or what the level of enforcement is when someone is busted with it. I'll guess it's not much because "criminal justice reform". It's a long way from the Fed to some teenager dying from fentanyl. To me it's saying you have to end the fed to make drunk driving a crime.

    Your posts are long and a tad hard to respond to, lol. I agree that there is a spiritual problem. I don't agree that we have to end the Fed before getting fentanyl off the streets. Me reference to the homeless was about drug addicts. Addicts of hard core drugs can't function and become homeless. Most people can't afford personal security nor should they have to move (though I sure would if I lived in one of the shitholes).

    Yes, though I would contend it wouldn't be any better to sell fentanyl to over 18s at the local liquor store, either.

    For the sake of continuity, forgive me for not quoting the previous quotes in your post but I'm not sure how to. Yes, it has been tried! Vancouver gives out real, pharma grade, fentanyl which, again, is legally manufactured. It may not be legal to purchase or sell to the general public but they give it for free so it's easily available. Yes, those places got infested with commies long ago but don't you think addicts all over the streets compounds even the problems created by the shitlibs? It does because they've done it! Drugged out zombies cannot get jobs or take care of themselves. Without either in patient treatment or jail, they're on the streets. I think most addiction treatment facilities are private and the Salvation Army is the only charity that I'm aware of that has offered a residential program for alcoholics (in the city near me, anyway). Dunno if they still do it or how many SA's have done it. Getting into a treatment program is not easy because there are so few and many are very expensive. i don't buy that charities will step up and spend millions on this. They haven't done it, yet, have they? I see that as some kind of pipe dream. Besides, they're all busy destroying the country and getting paid for it by the State Dept and HHS. I'd like to know how Portugal does it.

    Again, wasn't it Madison who said this only works with a moral people? We don't have that. Even in 1776 there were bad actors but do you think what's going on now would have been tolerated? I don't think so! Would it have been put up with in 1950? No. Now, I agree with you about many of the causes but that's another issue and will take longer to reverse, if it happens, which is doubtful. This is like debating how it came to be that Jeffery Dahmer ate people instead of locking his ass up first. On the one had, everything you brought up needs addressing/fixing and, on the other hand, the results of bad actions/not doing the right things have to be dealt with, now. I completely disagree that the problems are exaggerated. When in your life do you remember all of these homeless drug addicts living on the streets of American cities? When do you remember all of these fentanyl deaths? BTW, though I'm old, now, I came of age in the 70s and have done my share of drugs and it was free for all back then. Nothing like what we're seeing was happening then except for maybe Haight Ashbury which was pretty ground zero for what was to come. I don't want my freedoms impinged upon for a war on drugs but I'm saying that when man made dangerous drugs are legalized then you lose freedom because of mentally ill, drug addicted, violent lunatics become a threat to sane human beings. How free are people in San Francisco who have to leave their car windows down and hatch backs/trunks open so one of the degenerates doesn't smash the windows? How free are little kids or adults that have to walk through dangerous homeless encampments and filth to go about wherever they live? When I was young and living at home, my parents subscribed to National Geographic. I remember an issue on Bombay India that showed pics of this city with sky scrapers and other modern things you'd see in a big city, with people living on the sidewalks, in view of those buildings, in cardboard boxes with other trash as roofs for them. I was stunned that something like that could exist and at what a shithole the place was. Now, we're there! So, no, it's not exaggerated.

    I don't think I agree. In the past I would have but that doesn't seem to have been proven in the cities mentioned. They've all become shitholes. This isn't a problem with easy or ideological solutions. Because all of this poses serious problems to other people, it requires serious thinking and learning from others who have tried to tackle it, like Portugal. Without that treatment infrastructure, though, it won't work. Was it Madison who said this (freedom) only works with a moral people? How is serving the immoral working out? I agree with Bukele when he warns the US is headed in the same direction as El Salvador was when he took over. No sane society wants this. Even the loons in Portland are sorry they did it.

    That approach to determining what's important to address priorities sounds as good as anything. I don't see how markets address rampant mental illness, drug addiction, crime and immorality. I would think markets would just feed all that. All of this shit is a result of the Marxist attack on our society. It was not like this when we grew up and it's getting worse. Do you want to live in one of these shitholes? I assume not. Why not if you think that hands off approach is correct?

    The illegal grows are usually on public land. They just go out into the forest, clear an area, find a water supply, and set up. Would they buy their own land and incur that expense if there were no regulations? I doubt the ones who are basically squatting would. Some do, though. I saw a video about this, recently, and a certain ethnic group (can't recall who) bought houses and set up indoor grows. Anyway, that's all just weed and while the outdoor illegal operations are an environmental and violent criminal problem, it's just plants. Fentanyl, meth and other man made drugs are an entirely different problem. The addict coddling is/was an effort to make it safer (clean needles, "clean" drugs, designated user areas) and did not work. Addiction and crime just got worse. If they had just legalized or decriminalized the same drugs, with "safety" programs, that, too, would have been worse. It looks like the only place that has successfully done anything like this is Portugal but while they offer the "safety", they demand treatment and make it available. That is a huge taxpayer investment. There is no such infrastructure here. So, you either make it illegal and we get back to 1950s America or you put massive money into serious treatment programs for addicts and the mentally ill because legalization begets addicts and mental illness. Why do you think Soros has funded legalization efforts?

    Fentanyl production is legal. It's used in hospitals, especially in surgery. It's not so much illegal drug trafficking but trafficking (and manufacturing) in controlled substances. I don't know about comparisons to bathtub gin. You've gotta drink gin to OD on it and fentanyl is so deadly that unintentional exposure has killed or nearly killed people: Dad reveals horrific details of baby’s reported fentanyl overdose at S.F. playground https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/San-Francisco-authorities-investigating-whether-a-17621718.php What possible reason does it make sense to have drugs like that on the streets?

    Excellent response. I rarely read anything from Reason because it seems kind of commie, to me. I often see similarities between communism and whatever they're peddling (Utopia ideasphere). Where does the intellectualizing become critical theory? While some of those criticisms sounded legit, we don't know the details and will have to wait and see. I'm pro populist, too. Sure as hell beats unpopular. It's a stupid term for politics, anyway. Last but not least, I'm on record as supporting Bukele. In the ideaspehere, everything seems to start with the assumption that any given population is moral, reasonable and favors self control. Well, in real life that's not the case in a lot of places, like these violence infested shitholes. If Milei sees a reason to address drug trafficking, it's probably a problem that threatens Argentina, like most of Latin America.

    Well, yeah, but who's in control? The psychopaths are (including federales and military) because there's nothing stopping them. In less violent cultures, like north America (though becoming far violent than in the past), addicts are all over the streets, committing crime and dropping dead on the shit covered sidewalks. Vancouver, Portland, Seattle, Philly, are real life experiments in legalization or lax enforcement of drug laws. We've gone from weed being a harmless and natural plant that anyone should be free to use (I agree) to fentanyl and other who knows what drugs flooding those cities and it's made them shitholes. This is worth watching if you haven't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT8OU8Yhs_s

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_War Wow. Never heard of this. It was about a lot more than football, though, I guess. That just solidifies my own opinion that organized sports serve to keep the masses stupid and in the team mentality for when the real SHTF. It's interesting that the violence part wasn't a thing in north America. Maybe that's an indication of higher IQ or something. It's not just a white thing because the Brits act like morons over "footie", though not as violent as someplace like Brazil which isn't very white. What do you make of it? Sounds like a good topic for a grant proposal for a few million in research welfare.

    That's a good point. Could just be that these degenerates get even more so when drugged and were more controllable for him. In the lawsuit, the most interesting thing I thought was in there was that Diddy and one of his sons went into a bathroom with a third guy and the guying suing was sitting near the closed door when multiple gunshots rang out. Diddy and his kid walked out and the third lay seriously bleeding (don't know if he's alive or dead). Diddy ordered the blood cleaned up and to tell the cops that it happened outside and as a result of a drive by shooting. LAPD played along, made no arrests, and papers ran the drive by story the next day. LAPD is notoriously corrupt and it looks like they did what Diddy ordered, as did the press.

    There was a terrible knife attack, on a train in England, just a couple of days ago. The huge knife looked to be an ordinary kitchen knife. Then the police went on to show a CCTV shot of the perp, from the day before, walking the streets with the knife in hand and followed with saying there was no known danger to the public at this time and that was while the perp was on the loose. They've had the knife attack thing going on for a long time and now it's come here.

    For reasons I don't understand, Latin America is violent and that's a big factor in the drug trade. I don't really know what I think about about all of this legalization idea. They did it in Portland and Vancouver British Columbia and the results have been disastrous. Even with just weed, California where it's legal, has a huge problem with illegal grows by organized crime. If the licensing aspect were also removed, I don't think it would make any difference.

    That was a very long laundry list of criticisms. Without being in the know and not being inclined to dig through Spanish language publications to learn more, some of it sounds legitimate, like raising politicians and bureaucrat's salaries and simply consolidating government agencies rather than truly getting rid of them. I don't view that as minor. Milei once said that "the State is like a pedophile in a kindergarten with children chained up and covered in Vaseline. Who can deny that? All the more reason to take the (Rand Paul) chainsaw to the protected class. As for his dogs, which has nothing to do with anything but is just interesting: Milei ordered that the bobbins be built where his dogs will be, that they are aggressive and cannot have contact with each other, because during the pandemic they lost sociability.

    Just took a quick look here: http://neorxn.com/introduction/ I'm intrigued to keep looking. I'm disappointed that he tries to tie theonomists in with kinists, a lot of theonomists view kinists as heretics (not that I expect you to care as a non-Christian, just sayin' )

    Ethno-nationalists are one of the biggest problems in the theonomy movement, BTW. Most non-kinist theonomists tend to ban kinists (ethnonationalists) from the theonomy movement. I'm told they're more dangerous than they're willing to admit to in public.

    Good stuff, BTW. I'll take a look.
  3. As for which blogs, Mencius Moldbug's Unqualified Reservations is probably the best place to start, if you can handle his seemingly endless verbosity. He' the Neoreactionary Marx (in terms of scope and influence), so it's best to start at the beginning. I'd also recommend Nick Land, Michael Anissimov and Vox Day. The Right Stuff has some good writers, but they dip into antisemitism far too frequently for my liking; I am pro-Christian and pro-Jew (t least in some cases).
  4. The other two wings are techno-futurism and ethno-nationalism. Admittedly, this is something of a simplification. You could break them down into different groups, and debate where one group ends and another begins, and who belongs in which camp. It is a pretty decent description of the biggest trends in NRx though. I'm of the techno-futurist persuasion, with some flavor from the other camps thrown in for good measure. Here's a more complex breakdown of the major Dark Enlightenment players:

    What are the other two wings, just out of curiosity?


    1. Yes, you could leave for any reason.

    2. I would. I can't speak for anyone else. THough admittedly there is the question of how big it would have to be exactly. If you had one random household say they "secede" but they're engaging in homosexuality I would think they could be punished. If they want to start their own society the next county over, be my guest. Most recons are decentralizationists and I am too.

    3. Unfortunately if enough people conspire its hard to do anything, but there is a law allowing you to challenge a witness and if the witness is actually a liar they receive whatever penalty they wanted for you. But its true that if both witnesses and court are corrupt I don't know what could be done. I want to learn more about this.

    Honestly, from what I remember from your posts you're probably closer to what I believe than most other people here. You'd probably want to run a different type of society in part of what we now know as "The United States" which I'm fine with. I've only briefly read on Neoreactionary but from what I've read I'm pretty much in line with the general idea. And a lot of people at the supposed ultra-conservative Patrick Henry College DO NOT like my positions... oddly both for being too authoritarian and too libertarian at the same time.

    OK, so if you can actually find a quote (not a wikipedia article that doesn't actually quote him) saying that Gary North wants to stone people just for being unbelievers or that he wants to impose a global theocracy by force (key distinction, believing a global theocracy will eventually come about BY EVANGELISM is obviously very different) let me see the quote so I can denounce him. I definitely don't support that, and I don't know of any other theonomist that does either.
