| Here's an Oxford debate on the issue from a few years ago, might be worth a look for both sides. Some interesting appearances, Theodore Dalrymple in part 3 does a good job in my opinion and Jeremy Corbyn , now leader of the opposition in Britain making his case in part 8. https://www.youtube.com/wat... |

| Related: http://takimag.com/article/putin_1_internation_vampires_0_costin_alamariu There’s more than just jingoistic hysteria behind the many accusations that Trump is “Putin’s agent.” In a poetic way, this is true. The international interests that financially wrecked Russia in the ’90s are doing th... |

| Mikah, if we're talking stereotypes, is it not too bad that priests rape children? I'm sure your racial ideologies can't possibly conflict with that whole historical abuse... Of course it's bad. I'm not an expert on Catholicism, but to my knowledge there is no mandate in the priest rulebook for chi... |

| RIP America. According to your data and assuming current trends continue, which group is going to become numerically dominant in the future? Know that, and you know what the religious future looks like. |

| It's obvious that Russia had imperialistic designs on the Ukraine. They want to get that strategic area known as the Crimea. It is a tad more complicated than that. Ukraine is the most important piece of strategic real estate that sits between east and west, it has been the focal point of several a... |

Quote: I still think it's a dangerous game to be courting Putin. Very dangerous.
Especially because of the nuclear aspect of things.
More dangerous than pissing him off by organising a putsch in the Ukraine turning the country away from neutrality and putting the Sevastopol arrangement in jeopardy? |

| It wouldn't surprise me. Putin is desperate to avoid the armed conflict that America/NATO is trying to provoke. While Trump can't come outright and say what Mr Putin would like to hear (that would likely be political suicide in a country still hungover from the Cold war and a population psychologica... |

| So, the radical right cares about education? I can't think of a strand of radical conservatism or radical Leftism that wouldn't, control the children and you control the future after all. I don't want people to think the radical Left don't care about education, they do, but they "care" ab... |

| Origins are always important, besides it includes the modern definition at the end-- a careful reading would illuminate that. edit: also, nice try at a tangent. No tangent, my point stands, though is perhaps moot, if you accept the way I was using the word. In Québec women are more happy now that t... |

| Race, as a social construct, is a group of people who share similar and distinct physical characteristics. [1][2][3][4][5][6] First used to refer to speakers of a common language and then to denote national affiliations, by the 17th century race began to refer to physical (i.e. phenotypical) traits... |

| Then were's the movement to deport poor whites in the trailer parks? Exactly. Maybe there is one, but I like to point you to the treatment of the Irish in America and Britain in the recent past. They are about as white as they come, yet they suffered arguably worse treatment than Mexicans do today.... |

| This is the final bit I will copy to the forums, it's a pleasant train of thought: It seems like there’s an uncanny valley of dictatorship. Having no dictator at all, the way it is here in America, is very good. Having a really really dictatorial dictator who controls everything, like the czar or th... |

Quote: All these statistics become moot if Conservia, underneath it all, isn't what it seems to be.
That isn't the point, the point is Conservia is, and by extension, its people are different to that of the land to which they are moving. |

| Education is another example of something we’re pretty sure we do better in. Now take a look at the 1899 entrance exam for Harvard . Remember, no calculators – they haven’t been invented yet. I got an SAT score well above that of the average Harvard student today (I still didn’t get into Harvard, b... |

This is one of Mencius Moldbug’s pet issues, and he likes to quote the following from an 1876 century text on criminology: Meanwhile, it may with little fear of contradiction be asserted that there never was, in any nation of which we have a history, a time in which life and... |
