    I'm so sick of the weak, stifling, Grundyism of feminized tyranny: constantly scratching and nagging at me to sit up straight, be nice to the weirdos, embrace the diversity, eat my vegetables and wear a helmet...or else.
    Buona.

    Lo sto dicendo da anni ormai.

    Se vivremo in uno stato di polizia autoritario (che sembra essere per il prevedibile futuro), allora dannazione, renderlo un uomo virile e robusto, con sfilate militari in parata e falangi di carri armati e missili che passano oltre.

    Sono così stufo del debole, soffocante, Grundyism della tirannia femminizzata: costantemente grattarmi e tormentarmi per stare seduto dritto, essere gentile con i bizzarri, abbracciare la diversità, mangiare le mie verdure e indossare un casco ... o altro.

    You obviously couldn't find one post? I know he doesn't have a lot of posts, but you can't find one that suggests that he is somewhat antagonistic to the position of liberty?

    I post too many anti-trump and anti-theist things so some dishonest people, like NCL in particular, will make up a biography about me so they can dismiss anything I say without actually using their very limited reasoning capabilities.

    “So you’re saying it’s OK to lie!”
    is a joke you’ll get if you’ve read Scott Adams’ latest masterpiece, Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don’t Matter. (Hint: It’s in the section on cognitive dissonance.) It’s also a great starting point for the central thesis of Adams’ book – The Two Movies Hypothesis.
    According to Adams (and in fact all of the Nobel-winning cognitive science available), humans do not reason from facts to conclusions. We instead hold biased conclusions about the world, and force the facts we observe from the world to conform to this conclusion, or story, or narrative, or movie as Adams calls it. Americans are watching two movies.

    Thus if Trump wants to hold a military parade, he’s just like the dictator of North Korea. Or he’s a patriotic American honoring the troops. (A third interpretation, which is too advanced for a country where half of the population is losing its mind on any given day, is that Trump is an amoral actor who knows that Democrats will make the tactical blunder of opposing a military parade, and thus the parade isn’t about Hitler or honor, it’s about winning.)

    Half of the country is watching one movie on Trump, based on how they subjectively alter the facts to conform to their conclusion about Trump. The other half of the country is watching a movie where the economy is entering a Golden Age, as the stock market rises, companies invest heavily in America, and our military has tremendous success against ISIS.

    In a rational world, people would update their priors about the world. If, for example, you said you opposed Trump because you feared a stock market crash, you’d say, “Huh? Looks like I was wrong. I no longer oppose Trump.” Yet that’s not how humans work.

    As Benjamin Franklin quipped, “So convenient a thing to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for every thing one has a mind to do.”
    Adams, as any skilled comedian, is able to distill truths into smaller, understandable insights. If you read David Hume (A Treatise of Human Nature), Simon Blackwell (Ruling Passions) and Kahneman and Tversky (Choices, Values, and Frames), his book will be an excellent practical application of timeless wisdom and cognitive science.

    If you’re new to the idea that you aren’t rational, Win Bigly will trigger cognitive dissonance within yourself, as you declare that everyone else might be lying to themselves, but you can’t be tricked by your own mind.

    With Win Bigly, Adams has cemented himself as a national treasure.

    P.S. Don’t miss this interview I did with Scott Adams on Trump and how to Win Bigly at life.

    You can watch that interview here.

    Hope you are winning bigly,
    Mike Cernovich

    Sen. Rand Paul: Trump’s military parade is a good idea if we bring troops home from Afghanistan first

    A military parade in the nation’s capital? The last military parade in Washington was in 1991, after our victory in the first Iraq War.

    Though the martial image of high-stepping soldiers is not one I tend to associate with our nation’s Founders’ distrust of a standing Army, I’m not against a victory celebration. So I propose we declare victory in Afghanistan, bring home our 14,000 troops and hold a victory parade.


    We defeated the enemy in Afghanistan. We killed or captured the terrorists who planned, plotted, or aided in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. We killed the ringleader, Osama bin Laden. We disrupted the terrorists’ camps where they plotted and trained. We dislodged the Taliban government that aided and abetted bin Laden.


    We just don’t know how to appreciate a good thing. A big part of our foreign policy failures is not knowing when and how to declare victory. So, why not a parade? Bring the troops home and declare the victory that should have been declared years ago.


    The only reason victory is elusive in Afghanistan is that presidents continue to have an impossible definition of victory. If victory is creating a nation where no real nation has ever existed, then no victory will ever occur.

    If victory requires the disparate tribes and regional factions of Afghanistan to have more allegiance to a regime in Kabul than to their local tribal leaders, then victory will never come.

    We spend about $50 billion a year in Afghanistan. When quizzed in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee recently, undersecretaries of Defense and State could not answer the most rudimentary of questions concerning the war.

    How many Taliban fighters do we face? Blank faces for an answer. What percentage of the Taliban are unrepentant terrorists unwilling to negotiate? Blank faces again.

    The Taliban now control a significant amount of Afghanistan’s real estate. Are the Taliban open to negotiating, considering that they appear to be winning? Blank faces again, but with perhaps a touch of remorse, knowing that there really is no possible military solution in Afghanistan.


    The neocons are unaccustomed to nuance in victory. They seem to have learned some lesson about unconditional and total surrender when America dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II with the surrender of Japan, and they seem unwilling or unable to accept any other form of victory.


    So, by all means, a parade – yes! As long as it is a victory parade heralding an end to America’s longest war.

    No, I don't need to make up anything. I actually read all your posts. Every single one. You people just aren't very good at what you do. Nice try, though!

    And yet to date you have never engaged me in actual debate.

    In any incarnation. (is there a note?)
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
