The Income Tax Is An Excise, And Excise Taxes Are Privilege Taxes
The Federalist Papers, No. 15:
Except as to the rule of appointment, the United States have an indefinite discretion to make requisitions for men and money; but they have no authority to raise either by regulations extending to the individual citizens of America.
I don't know what direction you would have taken this in a reply, @ThePaleoLibertarian, but here is where I was going with it:
These Romans, they were smart guys. They could see what was happening, many of them. Work ethic declining, discipline declining, morality declining, even willingness to have children -- the basic building block of, well, continued life! -- had fallen off a cliff. I do not think that's what they wanted. You can read their books and speeches lamenting the disaster they saw unfolding.
So why couldn't they stop it?
They did not know how. And "how" isn't political anyway. It can't be stopped by political changes. Even had Murray Rothbard (or Hans Hoppe, if you prefer) been put in charge and instituted anarcho-capitalism, that would not have been enough to turn things around. I have come to believe: It's Biological. The fall of civilizations is biological. Elites don't cause it. Biology does. Elites can't stop it. Biology could (In theory. It never has before.).
There are disastrous epigenetic consequences from having too much food, too much sex, too much recreation, too much plenty. So the seeds of the civ's destruction are planted by its very success. So OK, maybe if Hans was able to effect some revival of traditionalism, family values, etc., -- and he's a traditional guy, he probably would try at least -- in addition to libertarian reforms, that might have some hope of working.
I highly recommend to you the book Biohistory:
It will only increase your Paleolity that much more!

I'm assuming in this context you mean the Roman Empire and not the Holy Roman Empire. The latter fell because of world order after the French Revolution was so toxic to traditional societies. What would the world be like without that pesky revolution? Alas, we will never know...
That is an interesting theory, and I will take a look at that book when I find the time. I can't address the specific claims in the book, but it there's just a few problems that come to mind when proposing a biological explanation. If it is due to wanton sex, recreation etc. what is the answer? Neo-Luddism? I do want to see a more traditional society with clear hierarchy and the like, but I also want that same society to have nanotechnology, AI and quantum computers. Is that possible? Maybe not, but the synthesis of traditionalism and futurism is one of the reasons I find Neoreaction so interesting. I admit it could be an impossible dream, but I'm not ready to call it yet.So why couldn't they stop it?

Of course, the possible Luddite implications don't refute the theory, or have any bearing on its truth value.
It's clear to me that history is cyclical, but the causes behind the cycles have yet to be truly discretely defined. What's also true is that different civilizations cycle at different rates. Again, look to the Holy Roman Empire. It lasted for 1000 years if you start counting at Charlemagne. Whatever forces cause societies to collapse, the HRE was remarkably good at withstanding. It had a decentralized, but hierarchical power structure, traditional cultural norms, common law and little bureaucracy. Proto-capitalist forms of property started to emerge as early as the 13th Century, and though its economy fluctuated, it was comparatively quite wealthy. A society like that seems to me to be better at weathering the storm, wherever its origin.
In my view, entropy is a constant, throughout not just biological, but sociological and political systems. Civilization slows social entropy in the same way the sun slows entropy on Earth. Some social order slow entropy better than others, but you can't run forever.
NeoReactionary. American High Tory.
The counter-revolution will not be televised.
You're a wonderful writer. You're alarm is not uncalled for. All of this insanity you so brilliantly described is nothing other than communism. Feminism and the feminist movement is just one of the weapons. It most definitely is a cancer.
Watch these (17 minutes total):
There are many videos on Youtube about cultural Marxism.
The hidden goal of feminism is to destroy the family, which interferes with state brainwashing of the young. Side benefits include depopulation and widening the tax base. Displacing men in the role of providers also destabilizes the family.

When liberals wanted to corral blacks on the welfare plantation (LBJ's Great Society), one of the conditions of welfare was that the father could not reside in the home. That's still the case, today.
Thanks for that. It seems quite a few people try to tar all of those disparate groups to the neo Nazi faction. Self preservation is now "fascist", a slur frequently leveled at Viktor Orban as Hungary fights against being devoured in Merkel's progressive Muslim onslaught and also leveled at Putin by the Atlanticist neo liberals and other internationalists.
Milo isn't really my cuppa but I like him because he's confronting these disgusting SJWs using their own tactics. He's perfect for the audience and environment he's targeting.
Wow, her drivel is a textbook example of critical theory which has replaced critical thinking in what used to be places of higher learning. It said she deleted the FB post and I wonder if that was just a hissy fit/SJW crybullying or if she really resigned. She sure as hell should.Oh by the way, a sociology professor resigned over this. She said free speech is "delusional" and that "objectivity reinforces inequalities".
http://www.breitbart.com/milo/2016/0...ng-milo-visit/
This is Stalinism with a human face. Nothing less. Yeah, but lets go back to talking about how annoying Milo is
For that kind of indoctrination, students are going 100K in debt. Haha, f**k 'em.
Wow, that's it! I've not watched the video but will. He nailed it. That explains, for me, why I thought the most important thing Trump ever said was about ending political correctness. There's so much I cringe at with him but when he said that, I was all in. Culture has never been more important to me and it's a big reason I hold Putin in such high regard. I'm sorry it's Donald Trump and not someone of the caliber of Putin or Orban but nobody in US politics has stepped up on this issue, which I see as a matter of survival.
Due to who it is that controls the higher 'education' system, were Milo to visit some AZ schools, I think you would be shocked to see it happen there, as well.
I'm a woman, born in 1954, and I agree with him. Your assertions about women being virtual slaves, forced to pop out babies and mop floors is baloney. My mom, in the early 60's, started her own own very successful employment agency and was a respected businesswoman in the community.
Yes, there are always people who have miserable lives, are abused and don't have a way out but that's just as true now as ever - maybe even more with the poverty that comes with broken families.
Feminism was one of the tools used to destroy the family. It lauded the single mother lifestyle as superior to having both parents in the home. It made necessary not taking care of one's own babies by dumping them in daycare with strangers so mom could work. It demonized men, even going so far as to deem them unnecessary. What the social engineers did to black families they would like to do to all families. The main goal was and is replacing the family with the state.
Strong families make strong communities which are an obstacle to the anti life NWO ruling elites and their filthy minion commie foot soldiers.
It was and is in the interest of communist Jews who are envious, resentful and HATE what they see as the Christian west. I don't necessarily mean religious when I say Christian but I mean cultural. I'm not religious, hold spiritual views that are eastern (India) but am culturally Christian (raised in a Catholic family). Jews have had it in for Christians since Jesus Christ walked the earth. Then they got run out of over 100 countries, mostly Christian, and they're still pissed about it. Then things didn't pan out in Russia, as they would have liked, and that's why there is this war (economic, propaganda, demonizing, starting wars on their borders, surrounding with NATO, etc) against Russia. Obviously, I'm not talking every individual Jew but cosmopolitan international leftist Jewry. This isn't just me saying this. They've said it themselves and Israeli born ex-Jew, Gilad Atzmon has written and warned about this, extensively. Yes, they have plenty of non Jewish co-conspirators, but it's a Jewish agenda.
Sheesh, it's not her name it's what she SAID. She's a Marxist. LibertyEagle called it as it is based on her words.
Why did you assume it was because of her name when she made her twisted ideology so clear?

10 Jun 2016
The DePaul University Black Leadership Coalition has released a five-page statement regarding Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos’ visit to the college in May.
The Black Leadership Coalition, which represents black students and faculty members at DePaul, is apparently not satisfied with the university president’s grovelling attempts to placate them, and is now engaging in the age-old progressive tactic of a diversity shakedown — give us what we want, or we’ll call you racist.
Because the college allowed Yiannopoulos to speak on campus, the Coalition is now calling for:
- A new position of V.P. for “Diversity and Inclusion”
- Administrative positions (“Diversity Advocates”) at each DePaul college
- A new “African-American Center” for black students and faculty members
- A defined role for “affinity groups representing diverse communities” whenever the university “makes a major decision,” including the hiring of Provosts and Deans.
- Modification of enrolment strategies and admissions criteria to increase the number of students of African descent.
- A new representative structure that acts as a “conduit” between DePaul’s black community and the university president.
- Dismantling of the President’s Diversity Council, the current body tasked with managing diversity at DePaul.
- Bi-annual town hall meetings between the DePaul Black Leadership Coalition and the Board of Trustees
“The community of African descent at DePaul is deeply offended and disappointed with the manner in which President Holtschneider has handled the controversy both preceding and subsequent to the Yiannopoulos campus visit” reads the statement. “DPUBLC strongly believes that the Yiannopoulos event is merely the tip of the iceberg and symptomatic of larger racial tensions at DePaul.”
The statement goes on to express frustration at the lack of support for students suffering from “microaggressions” and “racial profiling” at the school, before also complaining about chalk signs on the campus that said “Build the wall” and “Blue Lives Matter”, a popular slogan used to defend police officers killed in duty.
“It was in this charged atmosphere that the DePaul College Republicans decided to host the “Dangerous Fagg0t: Feminism is Cancer” tour, featuring Milo Yiannopoulos, “a popular media figure who routinely uses his platform to engage in violent, sexist, transphobic, and racist rhetoric”” claims the statement, calling Yiannopoulos “violent” despite his calm and peaceful reaction to the event which was interrupted by two Black Lives Matter activists who stole the moderator’s microphone before threatening to assault Yiannopoulos.
The Black Leadership Coalition then goes on to blame college president Holtschneider, citing his failure to refuse Yiannopoulos entry to the college.
President Holtschneider’s failure to effectively interpret likely events exposed faculty, staff, and students of African descent, as well as members of other marginalized groups, to threats of physical harm, animus, and hostility. Perhaps most troubling and potentially damaging, in the aftermath, the administration has engineered a clever reframing of events that ignores its culpability, disregards the longstanding racial tensions on campus, and places blame on the African American protesters. Although framed as a free speech issue, the event was in fact a safety issue. There is no right to free speech that justifiably places members of the DePaul community at risk.
We, the members of the DePaul University Black Leadership Coalition (DPUBLC), believe that Father Dennis H. Holtschneider is disconnected and out of touch with issues facing DePaul’s community of African descent, and we are not confident in his ability to effectively resolve problems affecting it.
Instead of standing up for Yiannopoulos’ right to freedom of speech and the First Amendment in general, Holtschneider grovelled to the far-left protesters shortly after the event, claiming “There is no precept of free speech known to the law, to morality, or to common sense, that required marginalized communities of students to sit quietly as supplicants while the campus that their tuition, grant and loan dollars fund was deployed as a sounding board for their own belittlement based on their race, gender, and sexual orientation”.
Holtschneider also claimed that students “were still shaking from the frightening effects of the hate speech they experienced” in his statement that attempted to win back protesting students to no avail.
The Black Leadership Coalition finished their statement with a list of eight demands, which include more specialised diversity staff and an “African American Center for students, faculty, and staff of African descent” before doubting the leadership of President Holtschneider.
It's ironic the attacks on Tea Party & Trump supporters as not being the best and brightest.
This is probably the most articulate black activist on campus and he's a $#@!ing idiot. "Dump the Trump".
BOWLING GREEN, Kentucky – Washington liberals are trying to push through the so-called DREAM Act, which creates an official path to Democrat voter registration for 2 million college-age illegal immigrants.
Rand Paul 2010
Booker T. Washington:
Cast it down among the eight millions of Negroes whose habits you know, whose

I appreciate the distinction between the Molbuggian elites and the ethno-nationalist rabble.
My only problem with the former is that they are encouraging the latter - intentionally or otherwise.
I guess they think they can lead them.
I don't, I think they're feeding a wolf pup that's going to grow up one day and eat them.
It's not as bad as when Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were shaking down their targets. It's a thousand times worse.
Where is this going? Will it take an actual war to end this commie insanity?
Hey, I don't write it, I just speak it! Even then, Wa shwoe da boo how.
And yet, it's just as broad a stereotype. I have family members in acedemia, and they are not leftists! I am now offended and victimized! How dare you agree with me on that, you collectivist slanderer?!No righteous outrage for you regarding academia, as I wholly agree with you there.
Not right? Why not? Is it "not right" to write the following: less than 20% of Chinese tend Republican, while over 60% tend Democrat. That is, after all is said and done, a fact.As to painting with a broad brush, as we libertarians would not treat people merely as just members of a given group but as individuals, I don't think that it is right to slander Asian immigrants as a whole as "socialists."
Are some facts simply forbidden to be uttered?
The answer seems to be yes. That is, in fact, the genesis of this thread. And you seem, in fact, to be on the wrong side, the side of the hoodlums trying to forbid certain facts and call people racists.
Not a good place to be! Re-position!
Umm, I don't know if you are familiar with science and statistics, but if not let me politely say: here's the thing, Yinzer. n=1 is not a valid sample size. Nothing can be concluded from this, except that the incidence clearly is not completely impossible for the population of which Mr. "1" is a member.In my n=1 experience regarding Chinese Americans
Guess what, I have an n=1 sample size, too, and it says that people with Chinese ancestry can be anarcho-capitalists. But what it doesn't say is that they all are, or that many are, or that most aren't socialists. Because (fanfare): they are!
I am not "blaming" anyone! What a truly pointless, impotent thing to do that would be!If you really, really want to paint with a broad brush, don't blame the immigrants, blame us native-born Americans!
Reality. Facts. Awareness of the facts. These are important. Immigrants are humans. Humans have children. Whether it's the first generation disproportionately voting for socialists or the second and all the rest, whatever. Doesn't matter in the long term. The second, third, fourth, fifth, etc. to eternity generations are what matters long term. It should not be entirely unpredicted that immigrants would have children. This is not exactly an impossible result to foresee. Immigrants are humans. Humans have children. Surprise!
Now luckily Asians do not have particularly a lot of children, and so they are projected to hold steady at 10% of the population. They aren't the demographic threat. Extra 10% for the Democrats (or whoever the more socialist party happens to be) from now to eternity. Annoying, but not insurmountable. It's the Hispanics that will destroy our future. They're going to 30%. Then 40%. Then 50%. They will not stop.
It's not a good sign when a thread title here can just say the first name, "Milo," and it's expected that people automatically know who that POS is.
Yep, you got it. When speaking of Romans, I mean the unholy kind.
Why is it so rare to read a reasonable statement like this on the internet? How very refreshing. You're tops in my book, TPL.I can't address the specific claims in the book,
Well, it's science, not politics, so it doesn't come with an answer. Maybe there is no solution. Maybe all successful, creative civilizations are destined to become prosperous and then to collapse. They all have so far!what is the answer?
That's the bad news.
The good news is: mankind already has come up with lots of solutions. Otherwise, we would never have risen this far. See, it really doesn't take nanotechnology and quantum computers to reach a toxic level of prosperity. Crop rotation is plenty more than enough. But humans have developed cultural technologies that combat our natural tendencies and avert reversion to bare subsistence.
Got to back up and lay out the basic theory.
Look at gibbons. They live in a highly food-restricted environment. So they have developed a temperament suited for that. Unlike other primates, they work hard. Even when they're not hungry, they keep working. They are constantly gathering food. They're the Calvinist Work Ethic poster children of the animal world. They have few children, they spend tons of time raising them. Family values, no day care for them. The food restriction -- not famines, just a constant low-level hunger -- activates these behaviors.
It also activates similar behaviors in humans. Hard work, conscientiousness, family orientation, respect for importance of property (territorial). These behaviors are the basis for civilization.
We humans have some very powerful cultural technologies that emulate this food restriction environment. Restriction of sexual activity is one extremely important one. Restricting that has essentially the identical effect on temperament as food restriction. Also, many religions have a technology called "fasting" which is nothing but food restriction itself. There's a little bit of a feedback loop, too, in that doing the things that food restricted people do -- working hard, being disciplined -- makes one more inclined to restrict his food intake on his own, just naturally. Not powerful enough to be stable, but there's a little bit, and so social pressure to work hard, looking down on and shunning lazy people (even if they're rich and powerful), etc., does help.
Anyway, without all these cultural technologies -- mostly religious in nature or at least origin -- we in the West would have been fat and lazy and reverting back to horribly low living standards back hundreds of years ago. You don't need robot slaves -- windmills would have done it.
But now we have become so rich, our prosperity has at last out-run our cultural technology. Our cultural technology is good, but not that good. It just is not strong enough to counter-act the mountains and mountains of obscene, overwhelming wealth that our brilliance has created.
So the solution, if you're asking me, would be to further buttress and reinforce and harden our cultural technology. In down to earth, practical terms: you've got the dough, doesn't mean you have to spend it. It's just that simple. You don't have to buy a dishwasher -- force your kids to do them every night by hand. You don't have to get a robotic lawnmower, or even a motorized one -- do it manually. No one is forcing you to turn on your A/C, no one is forcing you to buy new clothes instead of teaching your daughter to patch the ones you've got, and most importantly no one is forcing you to have a TV to infest and tear down your home with its degraded and degrading anti-culture.
We should look to Scrooge as our hero. Well, not in his personal relations, we'd want to be a more cheerful, vibrant Scrooge, but as far as living far, far, far below his means: that's the ticket. Or to Sam Walton. Here's a billionaire, but he drives the same beat-up truck 'til the day he dies. He's got it, he just doesn't spend it.
It's OK to earn it (fantastic and virtuous to earn it!), but you just can't spend it. It's the spending that kills you. And especially kills your kids. Take away your kid's cell phone/tablet. Replace it with a shovel, and put them in charge of the coal mine you're opening in your back yard. "You load 15 tons, whaddaya get? A society that won't collapse inta oblivion."
So austere living. OK. The second important factor to solve the problem is: parenting. We need to exercise a much higher degree of control over our kids. We temperamentally don't want to, not nearly enough, but we need to. We need to set down rules and make them behave. Doesn't sound very libertarian, I know, but tight control of children is actually essential to turning out the right kind of people to make a libertarian society possible.
Austerity. Disciplinarianism. Not exactly going to win any popularity contests, those two, but implement them in your family and there's at least the seeds of the beginnings of the hope of a solution.

Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider has announced his plans to step down from his role as the President of DePaul University following pressure from radical left-wing activists in the wake of Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos’ recent visit to campus.
Holtschneider came under fire in late May for the University’s handling of a lecture given by Yiannopoulos, which was interrupted and shut down by DePaul students. Despite Yiannopoulos being threatened by one of the protesters, DePaul administration, under Holtschneider’s direction, refused to allow security to intervene during the event.
In response to the backlash over the mishandling of the event from students, alumni, and the general public, Holtschneider issued a lukewarm apology but failed to apologize to Yiannopoulos. As a result of the incident, the University’s Facebook page received a barrage of negative reviews and complaints, which dropped the school’s average rating overnight to below two stars out of five.
The apology only caused more problems for Holtschneider, however. The DePaul Black Leadership Coalition, representing black students and faculty members on campus, have put relentless pressure on the President ever since he apologized to the college Republicans, and called for his resignation. After attempting to placate them with a grovelling statement backtracking on his previous apology, Holtschneider has now revealed that he intends to resign.
In his resignation letter, Holtschneider claimed this decision is the best for the University moving forward. “I believe, therefore, it’s best for DePaul if I step aside in the summer of 2017 so that a new leader can assist the institution to name and ambitiously pursue its next set of strategic objectives.”
Holtschneider also claims that this decision was made several months ago, as part of a transition plan for the University.
The entirety of President Holtschnieder’s resignation letter to the faculty can be read below.
My dear colleagues and friends,
Last Christmas, I spent the days before the New Year on retreat, reflecting on all that has been accomplished at DePaul. Many of the goals we set at the outset of my presidency for DePaul’s enrollment, finances, academic quality, new academic programs, facilities, alumni organization, national reputation and, most importantly, its Catholic and Vincentian mission have been achieved. We’ve done this together through two, six-year strategic plans.
My intent had always been to conclude my service with the end of my contract in 2019. I realized, however, that this does not time well with DePaul’s planning cycle. We have work still to accomplish on Vision 2018, yet within a year it will be time to prepare the next set of university goals. Strategic plans are six-year affairs at DePaul, and the campaigns that fund them are often longer in duration.
I believe, therefore, it’s best for DePaul if I step aside in the summer of 2017 so that a new leader can assist the institution to name and ambitiously pursue its next set of strategic objectives. This way, momentum will continue unabated. To do otherwise would put the university in the position of having one president define the next strategic direction for another president to manage or, if we waited until 2019, put the university into a holding pattern until then.
My decision to step aside as president has been underway since my Christmas retreat. In late January, the provincial of my Vincentian congregation gave permission for this transition. I informed DePaul’s board leadership in March, at which time we decided to share this news more broadly at the conclusion of the academic year. The Office of the Secretary and board leadership interviewed and hired a search firm in early May.
Please know I am not leaving for another position. While I will remain open to assignments after 2017, my present plan is to return to DePaul in my tenured faculty position following a year away from the institution to give the new president the breathing room he or she deserves.
The leadership of the board of trustees will write the campus later today to describe the search process and invite the broad involvement that is DePaul’s custom. In the meantime, we have one more year together. I intend to use it aggressively not only to advance the Vision 2018 goals we set together several years ago, but also to work on the new goals emerging from our conversations about race and speech taking place these past weeks.
I know I will look back on my years leading DePaul with overflowing gratitude. This is an extraordinary university by any measure, and that is primarily because of the people who make up this institution. St. Vincent often attributed the developments in his life to God’s providence, and that is the only category that can encompass my experience of having been invited into the DePaul community twelve years ago. As we enter into the “baker’s dozen” year of my presidency, know how proud and grateful I am to work alongside you every day.
God bless you,
Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, C.M.
